The Maine Viewpoint
Editorial opinions from across the state.
Mount Desert Islander, Bar Harbor
Is Green the New Black?
It's always easy to stand up and yell "no."
White is considered a color because it is composed of all the colors of the spectrum. Black is not a color because black objects absorb all colors and reflect nothing. In effect, black represents the absence of all color — nothing.
With that definition in mind, it is fair, then, to say the "green" movement in Maine is the new black. In recent years the green movement has fought against nearly every single development project, regardless of its merits, minimal impact, or usefulness to society. And, the greens have gone even further. They have fought against bringing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal to the coast that would provide energy cleaner than oil or coal. And they have opposed new hydroelectric power. Recently the head of the Green Party, who has already announced her plans to run for governor, filed suit on behalf of a group hoping to stop a wind power project in Lincoln that doesn't threaten any major natural or recreationally significant areas.
It's always easy to stand up and yell "no." But that response to any new proposal should not be automatic, the only apparent option. Nobody is suggesting that Maine should recklessly sacrifice its non-renewable resources or the health of its people for private economic gain. At a time when our nation, as a whole, needs to develop as many renewable sources of energy as possible, continuing to be against everything is counterproductive and antisocial.
Maine's green movement needs to lead by providing solutions, not just opposition. Otherwise, being green in Maine will become just a synonym for black.

Paying Past Due Debts
News that Governor John Baldacci will ask the Obama administration for a Medicaid waiver for Dirigo Health is not exactly news; the waiver, which would match federal funds to Dirigo premium payments, was part of Dirigo 1.0. If granted — a significant "if," given it's been denied before — the waiver would deliver two-for-one matches on Dirigo premiums paid by Medicaid-eligible persons, according to the Capitol News Service.
This would be literally pennies from heaven for cash-strapped Dirigo, whose new funding source (beverage taxes) was rejected and whose current funding source (the Savings Offset Payment) is having its legality challenged anew. But a waiver poses a problem: If Maine gets more Medicaid money, funding Dirigo isn't the top priority. Medicaid's three hundred-plus million dollar debt to Maine hospitals should arguably be paid first.
This debt is growing faster than the government's ability to pay it; some hospital officials have estimated the gap is maturing at the actuarially alarming rate of ten dollars every minute. Central Maine Medical Center is owed 68 million dollars, St. Mary's Regional Medical Center 12 million dollars, and Franklin Memorial Hospital $25.5 million. That latter hospital has since sued the state to pay its MaineCare bill in full, and stop accruing any more debt. That suit is pending. So are the payments.
With tight budget times on the horizon — both on the state and federal levels — the outlook for repaying this debt is probably the grimmest in memory. More money for Dirigo would stabilize the program and perhaps re-open enrollment, which is capped. A stronger Dirigo could reduce more of Maine's uninsured and give more access to care. Research into cost saving measures through the Maine Quality Forum could also be enhanced.
But more money for Dirigo won't improve health care delivery as much as relieving hospitals from the burden of unstoppable Medicaid debt would.
Maine's Medicaid system is generous and expensive. An expansion in 2002 is cited for the reimbursement gap, as greater utilization drove up costs. The unabashedly conservative Maine Heritage Policy Center released a report in November saying welfare spending (which includes MaineCare) is tops in the nation in terms of burden on income.
Amid this spending, though, hospitals aren't paid. There are consequences: Doctors turn away Medicaid patients, costs for the privately insured increase, or quality of care declines. These possible outcomes call for paying hospitals first, if more Medicaid money flows into Maine. And that makes it tough to explain why Dirigo should be saved, instead.

A Thrifty Government — imagine that
The project to bring the town of Dayton a new municipal building deserves nothing less than a standing ovation.
The small York County town has been growing, and many of its municipal structures (the Dayton Consolidated School and the old Town Hall) were growing ever more threadbare as greater use brought greater wear. The school was addressed in the past few years, though not without controversy. So, the next project, in the eyes of the town's elders, was making a new home for the local government.
Beginning on Labor Day weekend last September, volunteers, municipal officials, and employees began the process of making the dream a reality, building a facility large enough to host town business and Town Meeting under one roof (while not using the basement, for example). Engineers said it couldn't be done for less than seven hundred thousand dollars, and would take far longer than those diligent volunteers expected. In both cases, the predictions were wrong.
For $450,000, and in less than four months, the building is operational, and town officials are enjoying their new home. The taxpayers were given a massive break (the building costs were kept low) and will reap the benefits of the moving of the old Town Hall, too, sold to a local construction firm as its new office. Chock up another thousand dollars saved. The building is large enough to accommodate the expanding town, and allow for Town Meeting to be held where it is supposed to be: in the heart of the community.
As Code Enforcement Officer Jim Roberts said, "I really think as a group we did a heck of a job. It went so well, there was no way we could lose."
We say, "Absolutely, Jim." When the naysayers in life chime in, telling tales of municipal tax abuse and failure of government to produce in a fiscally responsible and timely manner, we will point to Dayton and say, "It can be done."
As one official put it, other communities should take note that projects can be completed at a limited cost and still meet all the needs of government. As financial times continue to be tough, our suggestion is to draw upon the great volunteer nature of the people of York County to make things happen.
Instead of automatically going to the bidding process and hoping, call upon the residents of the community and see what efforts can be brought to bear on the issue. More than likely it will cost less, be done faster, and will instill the virtues of community we often lose in the process of doing business as usual.

Preparing for an Older Work force
There is nothing magic about the number sixty-five when it comes to a retirement age. When it was first instituted in Bismarck's Germany, it was a safe age to start offering a pension because few people lived long enough to collect.
When it was officially adopted as the age for full Social Security benefits in this country, it had less to do with a senior's inability to work and more with opening up jobs for younger people during the Great Depression. In this era, when people live longer, healthier lives, it should not surprise us that a growing number of older people choose to stay in the work force. In Maine, we should all get used to it — an older work force is our future.
Projections based on U.S. Census data tell us that Maine, which already has the country's oldest median age, is just going to keep getting older. This is true for the entire Northeast as well, meaning that we will be in competition with other nearby states to keep and attract older workers.
People find that they are not ready to sit idly by when they hit their sixties. An active life that involves at least part-time work keeps them involved as well as paying bills not covered by their retirement savings. Employers are also finding that seniors make good workers who only need a few accommodations. Older workers who have retired from demanding careers are often looking for flexible, part-time, less-stressful positions.
Communities should consider issues like public transit and access to health care services in their planning if they want to compete for older workers in the future. As our population ages, they may be the best workers around.

Feckless State Fiddlers
Like modern Neros clad in flannel togas, representatives of state government's natural resources agencies and their most familiar lobbyists spent six months fiddling while their empires burned. After meeting periodically since spring, a task force assigned to find possible grounds for merging services currently divided among the departments of Agriculture, Conservation, Marine Resources, and Inland Fisheries and Wildlife dissolved recently without recommending any meaningful changes or identifying any significant savings.
In a thirty-page report, the thirty-seven-member Natural Resource Agency Task Force offered its list of suggestions to make state management of natural resources more efficient. However, that list doesn't include consolidation of any state departments. Despite the exigency of widening shortfalls in both the current budget and the next biennial state spending plan, task force members seemed more intent on marking their territories than seeking realistic solutions.
"How can you make a shift in agency organization without having one person's interests diluted or diminished?" asked Marine Resources Commissioner George Lapointe. Isn't that the point — the logical outcome of consolidation? Isn't that the same bitter pill the Baldacci administration and the 123rd Legislature shoved down the throats of school officials throughout Maine?
For too long, state government's bureaucratic fiefdoms have served their own interests while foisting the real pain of this prolonged economic downturn onto municipalities and school systems. The failure of the Natural Resources Agency Task Force to propose any meaningful streamlining represents the latest example of state government's inability or unwillingness to apply the same standards to itself that it expects of local governments. The will to think creatively to find savings seems sorely lacking in the State House and its environs.
At the same time municipal and school officials are adjusting budgets halfway through their fiscal years and bracing for more cuts to accommodate state government's inability to meet its funding obligations to local services, commissioners become more protective than proactive. As members of the 124th Legislature grapple with state government's churning budget maelstrom, they must resist the urge to simply pass problems down the line to localities.
Doing so would perpetuate the Baldacci administration's and the 123rd Legislature's disrespectful dismissal of voters will, as evidenced most resoundingly by the 2004 referendum to increase state funding of public education to 55 percent of the total cost.
Instead, legislators must demand that department heads and agency leaders arise from their bunkers and work together to revamp state government in a way that achieves meaningful savings. If state officials can't come up with the savings, maybe it's time to dissolve their agencies and redirect those administrative costs to localities, where the real work's done.

A Head Start for College
Thousands of Maine kids will get a start on college savings this year — just by being born. The Harold Alfond College Challenge went statewide on January 1 after a successful start last year at MaineGeneral Health facilities in Waterville and Augusta. The challenge provides a five-hundred-dollar scholarship, to be invested in a NextGen College Investing Plan account, for each newborn in Maine. More than 14,000 babies are expected to be born in the state this year.
The challenge began in January 2008 with funds from the late Harold Alfond, the founder of Dexter Shoe and the state's first philanthropic foundation. Last year, 320 babies were given the scholarships.
According to the Finance Authority of Maine, in eighteen years at 8 percent interest, a five-hundred-dollar grant, without any additional contribution, would grow to two thousand dollars. With a contribution of fifty dollars per month, the account could grow to twenty-five thousand dollars in eighteen years, a strong inducement for families and employers to seek ways to make such further contributions a reality.
The message behind the scholarship program is as important as the money itself. In a state where too few students go on to college, getting parents to think about — and better yet to plan and save for — their children's higher education is a big boost. A report by the Mitchell Institute released last summer found that plenty of Maine students and their families had college aspirations. The problem was they weren't planning for it.
According to the report, 85 percent of high school juniors and seniors said they expected to go on to a four- or two-year college right after high school. In 2006, however, only 57 percent of that year's high school graduates enrolled in college, the lowest in more than five years and below New England and national averages.
The report cited many reasons for the college gap, but finances remain a top concern. "Nothing will prevent me from going to college except money," a high school student told the institute researchers. Parents, too, are concerned with paying for college, with about a third saying finances will determine if their children attend college and two-thirds saying finances will determine which school their child attends.
This is a costly decision. Someone with a Bachelor of Arts degree earns on average 62 percent more than someone with a high school diploma, worth about one million dollars more over a lifetime of work. Also consider, in 1950, 60 percent of jobs in Maine were blue collar; now only 25 percent are. Two-thirds of the state's fastest-growing economic sectors require education beyond high school.
Mr. Alfond's legacy in money and in philosophy will help a new generation be better prepared for these and other challenges.
Portland Press Herald
A Councilor's Conflict of Interest
The Portland City Council's recent 7-2 vote to start negotiations with Ocean Properties on a $160-million development deal for the Maine State Pier was the right move — with one flaw. It should have been 6-2.
Councilor Dory Waxman chose to participate in the debate and vote even though she spent four months on the Ocean Properties' payroll as a community organizer hired to work with the public on the pier project. That may not meet the law-book definition of conflict of interest, but it doesn't pass the smell test, either. Waxman should do the right thing and recuse herself from future votes on this matter.
The real issue here is that Waxman took money from a company to advance a project, and now she is expected to represent the public's interest in talks with the same company regarding the same project. The public has a right to wonder where her loyalties will lie. Waxman says that in her heart, there is no conflict. But we can't see her heart, only her resumé.
Selecting a developer for the Maine State Pier has been an over-politicized issue for the last two years. The council divided into rival camps in support of developers Ocean Properties and the Olympia Cos., and changing that balance of power was at the heart of the last two city elections. But with Olympia out of the process, it's time to defuse the politics. The question now is not which company to pick, but whether the city can reach an acceptable deal with Ocean Properties.
Even without her vote, there is a clear majority of councilors ready to move forward. Waxman should let it happen without her and without the questions that her involvement would inevitably raise.
Journal Tribune, Biddeford
A ZOOM in public transit
Those who use the ZOOM bus to commute to Portland from the York County area have noticed something of late: Many more riders. The skyrocketing gas prices of summer have subsided to record lows, but the seats remain full on the buses headed to Monument Square every day.
Unfortunately, increased ridership is coming at a cost. Those using the Saco Park-n-Ride lot off the Industrial Road, for example, have struggled at times to find parking spaces. An effort to open up the lot by towing illegally parked vehicles only drew ire from those willing to ride a bus to work, and forced the Biddeford-Saco-Old Orchard Beach Transit company to negotiate the use of a new lot for ride sharing commuters off of North Street.
The other cost is a proposed rate hike, which, if approved, would raise the monthly rate to eighty dollars, the equivalent to a downtown Portland parking pass. The reasoning for the hike, officials say, is to offset the ever-increasing deficit at which the bus service is running. Even with double the ridership, money is being lost, and some runs (such as the very early morning trips, which are relatively empty) will be cut.
We understand why ZOOM prices are going up, and we empathize with our neighbors, family, and friends who choose the environmentally friendly and convenient way to travel. Now is the time, then, for the state and federal government to step up and support such public transportation efforts, though we don't see that happening anytime soon.
Having financial woes does not mean public transportation support should be off the radar. The Obama administration should do what the Bush administration wouldn't: focus on public transportation, not supporting the oil industry. One of the best ways to kick the foreign oil habit (before it is too late) is ride sharing and public transportation. Making such options unappealing through necessary rate hikes isn't helping. Instead of massive tax breaks for the oil giants (who have profited extraordinarily despite the collapsing economy), money should be funneled nationally to supporting public transportation to a greater extent.
Our suggestion to ZOOM riders fed up with crowded lots and higher rates: Don't stop riding, start writing. Write your congressional delegation and say, "Make us a priority in 2009." Not doing so is spoiling forward momentum toward public transportation.

cant really rate this product yet. it was purchased for my son in law for christmas deployed to afganistan. due to return sometime in april, but since he will be seeing his firstborn son (who will be six months old) i doubt it will be his first priority. garcia poll is what he requested though, so as avid a fisherman that he is, i assume it is the best.

Now a bitter battle in Rhode Island over the separation of church and state an atheist group calling this cross which is a World War I memorial.
They say they want it moved but some of the community of Woodstock and Rhode Island disagree.
I don't -- came into the Booth.
Atheist group takes them out when it caved -- to them they seem to be preying on the weak.
Communities that can't defend themselves that they don't have the ones to do it and that tells me what kind of people these people -- That many issues a big -- by the way should the town be allowed to keep the -- still a Jackson a criminal defense attorneys here.
-- Fred TC a former federal prosecutor is also with us welcome to you both gentlemen.
-- -- and neither of you are 91 years old.
I'm distillate and I'm yeah -- -- -- -- -- -- -- But that's how long this cross has been standing in this town to Joey it has survived multiple -- -- a few pretty bad snowstorms.
What is the argument to take it down now.
Well here's the argument I mean from a personal perspective you know the community should do what it wants to do when that would be to keep it but there are some legal argument that a compelling that would suggest that it be removed that his what they ought to and a there's a First Amendment and not only I know we know what is the freedom of speech amendment but it also addresses religion and it speaks to the issue of the establishment clause.
And a free exercise plus you can establish a religion as an individual.
Whenever you want you can practice that religion the problem here is that there is a separation of church and state and so the legal test will -- If this symbol is deemed to be.
An advancement by the government which sponsors supports or endorses religion and otherwise in tangles religion into the government that it's problematic.
Fred the town says this is not a religious symbol it's actually a historical relic for the town.
Is that a good argument for that in this case.
If it it is and I think when you call these people make these groups and I think you hit the nail right on the head -- right the First Amendment.
Those allow the establishment of the endorsement of any type of religion.
But this is a cross that symbolizes people -- -- -- socket where around who died in World War I.
And then died and subsequent wars it's no different in the crosses and Jewish stars that -- the head stones of countless headstone to Arlington national cemetery.
And are caught our government our country is full.
Of religious references I mean the president United States puts his hand on the Bible when he gets sworn in -- saw Joseph Biden -- -- -- Talk about god bless his mother these people would seek to -- all of that.
And it quite frankly I think that's inappropriate and -- -- not with the First Amendment he let me.
Great arguments that Fred and -- go back to on this landed the here's the situation -- town -- is nearly bankrupt.
And even if this goes to -- court they say they just don't have the funds to fight it so Fred what are their options.
Look they they don't they don't have the funds to fight in a minute made it very clear I mean they like most of towns across America are flat broke in and this is unfortunate.
I mean I have a lot of options quite frankly they could sell to somebody for a dollar delta private property and -- case closed Kelly at a later try some other dumped by his figure it out -- absolutely is because the issue with the government entanglement into religion if you move it on private property is Fred suggests -- -- club.
-- the movie Turkey to say this little square.
Part of land is now suddenly.
Private property even if it's in the middle of the street and anyone can buy -- tech.
Likely if it's conveyed and it's now deemed to be conveyed the public you know from public to private property at the different story that -- -- game changer.
Well we'll see maybe -- -- -- That's a pretty interesting to see if that's an easy solution is everybody's in time and money who.
We're giving credit credit he came out -- often hasn't I -- I idolized or somebody else I can't think it.
We'll let you guys now I invite you back Freddie and doing nice having that advertising -- they -- those guys.

Purple shirts, pink laces, casual gear and stripy haircuts. These were merely incidental observations on a night that ended in another lesson dealt by Roger Federer.
The 31-year-old world No.2 continues to look as unruffled by life as ever, making his way into the 35th second week of his 53rd consecutive Grand Slam with a 6-4 7-6(5) 6-1 over Bernard Tomic in the third round, his 250th major match win.
The only hint of Federer's age and stage of his career was the white thermal vest he treated the crowd to a view of, presumably one of the ways in which he protects his sometimes troublesome back. Especially in the cooler temperatures of a night match.
But other than that, Federer was the Swiss supremo of old, the level of his tennis as good as it as ever been as he cast his habitual spell over Melbourne's centre court.
"Obviously, the result is something I was hoping for, but not sure going into it," Federer said. "So I'm just really pleased that the outcome is what I was hoping for. I thought I played really good today."
Tomic had talked a good talk in the build up to this match. The Australian youngster had hit form just in time to try and do better than the eight games he got against Federer this time last year.
"He is the greatest our sport's ever had," Tomic said. "You learn something every time you watch him. It's going to make me a better player."
But, having given himself a new haircut seemingly just for the occasion, the future of Australian tennis had just about the worst possible start. He was broken. It was all that Federer needed to take the first set, producing an ace, a forehand, and forcing two errors.
Tomic admitted afterwards that listening to the long list of Federer's achievements being read to the crowd at Rod Laver Arena before the match was a distraction.
"I started to think after they mentioned all these Grand Slams leading up, Wimbledon champion seven times, US Open champion ... I was, 'oh crap, it's Roger'. I try to block out who's on the other side of the net but couldn't quite do it after that announcement," he said.
Federer's serve was not quite firing as fast as it can, the top speed of 207km/h the same as Serena Williams produced in her match on Saturday. But he won 88 per cent of points when he found his spot in the box, while 46 winners to Tomic's 42 and 20 unforced errors to Tomic's 41 were numbers that spoke for themselves.
Tomic, to his credit, upped the ante in the second set. Although the Rod Laver Arena crowd were as much behind the four-time champion as they were backing him, he clung onto his serve, forcing a tie-break, and, lo and behold, led the champion 4-1 and 5-2. The set was surely in the bag.
"I think close to the end of the second set was amazing tennis from both sides," Tomic said. "We were striking the ball so good, hitting winners of any shot on the court."
But many players have fallen foul of thinking they have leaped the hurdle against Federer, only to see him knock it down. Arguably the greatest player in men's tennis snuck his way back in, not letting Tomic win another point. It crushed the cheekiness out of the Aussie.
"Unfortunately he got me," Tomic said. "I had a chance there and I missed it."
It was one-way traffic in the third set, Federer accelerating into a 3-0 lead, skipping into his forehand as he had done 10 years earlier, and allowing Tomic just one game.
"I had to be able to bring my whole repertoire to the court today, defence and offense, which I enjoy. Then when you do win those kind of matches, it's a good feeling afterwards," Federer said.
Beaming brilliantly as he saluted the crowd, Federer advanced, barely a bead of sweat on his brow, to a fourth-round meeting with Milos Raonic. Another match-up between past and present, champion and future champion.
But can Raonic do what Tomic could not? Based on tonight, it's unlikely.
"He's obviously got one of the best serves in the game," Federer said. "We'll see how it goes. I'm excited about the match anyhow."
As for Bernard? He'll be out cheering on his sister Sara in the juniors. And then, it'll be back to the practice court, Federer's words ringing in his ears.
"He said 'keep going, you improved'. It's a good thing, hearing that from somebody that's giving some advice," Tomic said.
"You know you can become a better player when you get information off the world's best. I've improved a lot. But to become someone like him, even in that area, I've got to improve more."

An inviting ski in/ski out property considered a resort within itself. It lies just a five minute stroll from the resort centre and provides a broad range of excellent facilities.
You can also be entertained at the slope side bar or the two lounges where dancing continues until the early hours. If you prefer to hit the town then there is a free hotel shuttle bus as an alternative to the short walk.

Breckenridge is small by US standards, though does still have a good range of pistes. A haven for beginners with its excellent ski school, Breckenridge also provides some fun but short runs for advanced skiers, with top bowls offering good off-piste opportunities (Lake Chutes). Intermediates also have some enjoyable (but limited) cruising. Better skiers will want to use the shared lift pass, with access to Keystone, Arapahoe Basin and Vail for more variety. Snow reliability is exceptional, as is the lift system, making the idea of queueing an (almost) distant memory. freestylers have also got a nice park to play on
Breckenridge has a 19th century feel to it, as it was a gold-mining town, but with all the bright colours does seem a touch "Disneyland". The resort has every type and price range of accommodation, from self-catering to top hotels, but some are quite far from the lifts requiring the use of a free shuttle bus. With a wide selection of restaurants and bars, après ski is lively without being too rawcus. Breckenridge also provides lots of non-skiing activities such as sleigh rides and ice skating as well as a cinema, swimming pool, art gallery and good shopping.
Overall, Breckenridge is a solid ski base from which to explore the Summit County resorts. Lastly, though, please be aware of altitude sickness that, when combined with jetlag, can make for a few uncomfortable days.
The USA has enjoyed heavy snowfall this week but over the next seven days it is Canada's turn to look forward to powder skiing. Whistler and Revelstoke should receive around 50cm towards the end of next week. The snow conditions will be helped by temperatures remaining at below -10C for much of next week. In the USA most resorts will continue to receive consistent snowfall, although in smaller amounts than their northern neighbours. Temperatures are also expected to increase slightly and most resorts will enjoy their fresh snow in sunny weather towards the end of next week.

Watch Minkley nick a PS3 Slim and decimate a demo pod in Cologne
What can't Johnny Minkley do? Well, you don't have to add burglary and destroying a PS3 demo pod to his CV of cant's as the Eurogamer TV editor nicks the PS3 Slim and pulls apart a demo pod, all roughly within three minutes.
He does a comparison with the fat PS3 as well, abit a debug PS3, hidden in the demo pod and revealed to the not too happy SCEE PR's.
A little Thursday morning humour for you. Go watch it here.

New Resistance 2 trailer hits YouTube
A new trailer for Resistance: Fall of Man 2 has been found, says PS3Fanboy.
Originally, it was on Eurogamer TV, but was quickly removed. Luckily, somebody nabbed it, which we suppose could be considered unlucky by those who were trying to keep it under-wraps for whatever reason.
Regardless, it seems to hint at the storyline of R:FOM2. Watch it after the link. It got us quite excited – we now how to go change our pants. Enjoy.

Hello there, fellow role-players. c: You might've seen me around these parts, posting interest checks that never really get any attention. .-. I role-play over PMs only, as threads are hard to keep track of. However, I will role-play over e-mail as well, along with Google Docs. I do attend school, so I will be gone from 7 AM - 3 PM EST, but after school I am always on. I go to sleep at about 9:30 on weekdays, and on the weekends I stay up pretty late (2-4). Mature themes are positively fine with me, and I've role-played all. Sex, drugs, alcohol, violence, and gore are all fine with me. The one thing I am not okay is BDSM. It just creeps me out . . . sorry. I usually role-play females, but I can double up if needed. I'm looking for quite a few people, so, come one, come all, to my little circle of magickal fun! c:
- I will work out plots with you if you have ideas, but at no time will I role-play a smut-filled role-play. Yes, there can be some, but I don't want the plot to be based around it.
- I will mirror your post length. That means if you post 3 sentences, I will usually post 3-5 sentences. However, if you post one sentence or a one-liner, I will not role-play with you at all. I understand writer's block, but if you don't have it and you post one-liners and one sentence posts when it's not a slow part, that's just stupid.
- No characters are perfect. No one. I don't care what you say. Even gods and goddesses have flaws. Yes, your character can be "beautiful" or "extremely intelligent", but everyone has flaws. All those popular girls during high school and middle school were dimwits, correct? Exactly. That was their flaw.
- Grammar. Grammar, grammar, grammar. Please use proper grammar. If you don't, well, good luck getting a reply out of me.
- If you want to leave the role-play, please tell me before you just randomly disappear. I think it incredibly rude. School, sickness, family issues, and things along those lines are perfect reasons and I won't be mad one bit. Even if you give me a lame excuse I won't be mad, because at least you tried. I will, however, be mad if you leave without telling me.
- I prefer to play the female in mxf and the sub in mxm, but I will double up if truly needed.
- Have a good time! There's no sense in role-playing if you don't have fun.
For most of these I don't really have a plot, so we could work it out together. If there is a | by a paring, I have great interest in it. If there is a ^ by a character, that means I will play that one. - means mxf, + means mxm, and ) means it could be both. Oh, and a \ means I'll play either. Sorry for so much stuff. .-.

This role-play will be based in the Celtic ages, and will involve my female character whom is a simple tavern maiden, meaning she serves the men and women at the tavern. Your character would be someone of high importance, like a prince, hunter for the king, etc. My character, Maeve, lives in a very small village that once a year hosts a feast for the locals. There is a big fire pit and lots of music, and a few weeks after Maeve's 22nd birthday, the feast is held. When she attends it, she is seen dancing by Y/C, who was passing through on the way to the capital. He is struck by her beauty and stays to watch for a few minutes before leaving. When Y/C goes to the capital, he can't stop thinking about her, so he starts to regularly visit the village and stay at the tavern. Their relationship continues to grow, but it is kept in secret due to Y/C's status. It is our own thinking and planning from then on out.
After Note
If you read through all of that, I love you. No, but seriously, if you did, that's amazing. Anyway, if you're interested in any of the role-plays listed above, please private message me or shoot me an e-mail at email@example.com. You could also add me on my Skype, which is alixandria.williams. Have a great day/night!

Sightings: Hazy's Hits
A photo gallery of airplanes at the National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center.
- By Michael Klesius
- AirSpaceMag.com, November 17, 2009
Dane A. Penland
The Northrop P-61 Black Widow was a late entry into World War II, designed to intercept German bombers at night and in bad weather. This P-61 was used for various research purposes by the U.S. Army Air Forces, the U.S. Weather Bureau, and the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. It was retired on August 10, 1954 after only 530 flight hours, and was kept for decades at the museum's Paul E. Garber storage facility in Suitland, Maryland. The airplane is shown here being moved into the Udvar-Hazy Center in May 2006, after which its wings were reattached for display.

Don't forget another first for the B-29: the most expensive weapon system of World War II, even more than the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb -- over three billion dollars. (Manhattan Project cost about two billion.)

Thank you for shooting this fantastic aircraft of history. The lighting must have taken a bit of time to set but looking at the results. It's magnificent. I would like to know if you had considered adding some gels for very different effect?
Thanks again!

Responding to Billy Howard 12/24/09 about SAR a/c flown in the 60's. I believe the correct designation was HU-16 and was a GRUMMAN A/C. I flew one when I was stationed in Rosy Roads in 1970.

I would love to see something about the B-32, which supposedly was to be the replacement for the B-24. I saw one once at a distance at Mountain Home AAF Base, Idaho, in 1945-46, where I was stationed.

Is there any way to get larger versions of these fantastic pictures? I'd love to use the shot of the B-29 as a background on my computer! EDITORS' REPLY: Mark--Please send your email address to email@example.com. We will forward your request on to the photographer, but we need your contact info.

I've configured the software to save 50 images, 10 seconds apart... Now, what use is that?
I have apache running on my system and I have told yawcam to put the 50 images in a directory which I can get at through the apache server, but I was wondering if there was some other hidden use for the image array that is built into yawcam.
If not, I'll craft a php script to display the 50 or so images somehow.

actually i followed up on that, several months after that contest diva went on a podcast saying that the valk costume would cost thousands of dollars, so instead he wanted to take pictures of lulu in a bikini
there's been no update after that, i guess lulu doesn't want to do it because she's creeped out by that fact that lots of people would beat off to her pics
Wiping my butt is like trying to get peanut butter out of shag carpet.
No, following the OP here I made two other posts: a post calling "someone" a "diaper wearing nerd," which got XanderK PMSing and for which he gave me an infraction. Then I criticized S2 for still not updating the ladder 3.5 months post-compression and got banned following that.
And yes, I'm HHB, and I imagine if that dork XanderK reads this he'll have a little apoplectic fit and ban this name as well.
So after like 3 days we got no other response than a ban for the OP who was actually polite and wasn't just screaming "S2 is ****" ?
It's so dissapointing to see this ...
business as usual
Every post Ive made on this matter has been deleted so not gonna bother
on a quick side note, I just noticed this beyond gaming ad on these forums, saying
"Dont just play, play for $omething"
I suppose those huge (probably 1 dollar made in china/taiwan) mousepads and gold coins translate very well into actual currencies.
shoutout to Xanderk for proving every point I made in the original thread about censorship. May your placebo one line of rules for trolling,flaming and spamming , which you are free to interpret as you like (which is basically the same as not having rules at all and just saying "I am S2, I am right") keep serving you oh so well in the future.
Nice new haircut tho, I approve.

you get banned after your 5th infraction, it used to be 11
Wiping my butt is like trying to get peanut butter out of shag carpet.
Even if that was the case and the ban was "automatic" due to the accumulation of infractions, that means I got banned for getting an infraction for pointing out that S2 didn't update the ladder for 3.5 months, since I posted that after my previous infraction regarding "diaper time."
Here's the post that got me my Xth infraction that got me banned, if that is in fact the case: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...7#post14980217
Oh, to continue the discussion of S2 really ****ing things up:
I just saw that sticky in GD. This is too ****ing funny. If there was one line I thought S2 wouldn't be able to cross it was re-releasing those gold collection avatars, but apparently "Afterward, they will be made unavailable indefinitely and will only be re-released under special circumstances (as with Gladius' effects rework)"
So uh yeah, change some animations, that's a special circumstance, and now it's ok to re-release and break that promise too.

when does anything they do make sense?

Wiping my butt is like trying to get peanut butter out of shag carpet.
I find it funny that this thread hasnt been closed yet (or more likely: deleted) since OP got banned for it.
Gooby pls...
by that he means people still pay 20++ bucks for a single key
then you should sell them on ebay and get around 20 bucks from desperate russians/any other euro nolife countryman that nerds moba 24/7 (scandinavians mainly)
not even kidding
Here, I'll help you out:
$ 20 is cheap; you can get $50.
Anyone else remembers how they hyped nearly every patch with 'super mega fancy' stuff and in the end they received shitstorm for Shop 2.0, F2P, EA, Ra etc etc etc?
I guess these shitstorms fortified S2's 'We do what we want and dont care about the community since they are angry anyway' stance.
This kind of stuff happened because they stopped the comunication with the community since retail. Afaik Maliken made a post and said sth like 'it was a mistake that we comunicated so much in beta',(I guess it's about the empty promises they made back then) correct me if im wrong about it. Every company makes their costumer angry from time to time - but S2 is doing it constantly...Im not angry anymore, im sad. The direction they went was imo the wrong.
About the Dota2 talk: Can't we just delete LoL, HoN, Dota2 and go back to an early state of Dota where words like 'troll' or 'griefer' weren't re-invented for online games?

Mist Through Your Consciousness
I'd like to think that I keep up with most doom, whether it's stoner, traditional, epic or whatever subdivision you want to apply to the root there. When I saw the cover to Mist Through Your Consciousness I had a feeling I knew what Caldera would sound like, but I had honestly never heard of the band before. As I figured out that the band is from a relatively doom-free country (France) and that MTYC is their first release, the relief in knowing that they're probably still fairly obscure and that I hadn't been missing out on them for long was comforting. Truth be told, I am mighty impressed by what I hear here, and if I had been missing out on scads of music from the group I'd have a lot of catching up to do.
Instrumental music is challenging to most of us, including myself, because there's an initial feeling of emptiness. Somehow, there's a void there that we want to fix ourselves. Of course, that void is self-imposed but we feel it anyway. Whether that's right or wrong is for us as individuals to decide, but we often miss out on some sweet tunes because of this discrimination. I know that I am not always as forgiving as some, so as MYTC burrowed its way to my heart I realized that this must be a damn fine record to win me, a lazy listener who doesn't always like a musical challenge, over.
A song like "F.I.R." slowly envelops your ears, unassuming but as potent as most any doom tune you'll hear all year. It's that organic approach to songwriting, that rare ability to entrance with seemingly little effort, that makes Caldera such a class act. In fact, the layering on this album reminds me a bit of Agalloch. Slower, more ambient tracks like "White Pine" highlight the band's strength exceptionally well. I could easily picture myself popping this disc in, sitting down to a cheap glass of wine and losing myself to the music after a trying day. Though far-reaching, MTYC thrives on the trance-like quality of trippy riffs and knowing how to fill space. The album isn't always on 11 and I like that. There are slower moments, where every riff and fill seems carefully calculated, and there are others of pure bounce and sway. It's pretty astounding that they manage to capture such a diverse sound without losing a distinct identity.
Seeing as how this was the first time I had ever heard of Caldera, I have a feeling that the vast majority of those reading this right now are in the same position I was just a few days ago. After listening to MTYC a few times through I can honestly say that my eyes and ears have been opened to a world where instrumental music doesn't suck. In fact, MTYC sounds as fresh and full as anything I've heard this year, and I've heard some really good records. If you're at all into melodic, thick and ambient doom, this will be an unexpected treat.

Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering was established in 1963 with the intake of sixty students for undergraduate curriculum leading to Bachelors degree. Later, post-graduation curriculum was started in 1969. The Department has been actively involved in research since its inception and the first award of PhD degree is recorded in 1972. Earlier, the faculty members were engaged in research in the areas of Physical Metallurgy, Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Metal extraction and Powder Metallurgy. In the early 70's, a number of new faculty members joined and started activities in the areas of Ferrites, Composite Materials and Electroless coatings of amorphous and microcrystalline (now called nanocrystalline) Ni-P and Co-P. It was increasingly realized that the barriers between Metals, Ceramics and Polymers needs to be broken and an integrated approach to Materials should be evolved. The name of the Department was changed from Department of Metallurgy to Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering in the year 2001 with the introduction of courses in Polymers and Ceramics at the curriculum level through research on Metal-Ceramic joining, Metal-Ceramic composites and Metal-Polymer joining.
At present, there is an intake of thirty students per year in the Master's programme and forty research scholars are working for their PhD (regular and part time) in this department.
Our research activities primarily focus on development of materials like Metal Matrix Composites (ferrous and non-ferrous), by stir-casting, spray forming and Powder Metallurgy. The Department has also initiated work on Metal foams. The Department is also engaged in the development of erosion resistant materials for turbines, anti-friction materials and friction materials. The activities on Electoless coatings has broadened into coating of nano-composites for microwave absorption. Recently, a new initiate has started to develop high energy density battery materials. Joining is an important area, which needs to be addressed along with development of materials. Currently, ongoing research activities in the Department include narrow gap welding, Metal-Polymer joining and Metal-Ceramic joining.
The Department is currently engaged in carrying out a number of sponsored research projects and consultancy projects for organizations like DRDO, BARC, BRNS, BHEL, NHPC, DST and CSIR. A number of small and medium scale industries nearby I.I.T. Roorkee keep interacting with us for their technical problems.
The Department has a vision to develop as a premier center of Materials Research in the newly established state of Uttarakhand where, around Roorkee, there are intensive activities for setting up new industry. Thus, it is necessary for the Department to evolve its research keeping in mind the needs of the industries. D.S.T. has recently sanctioned Rs. 4.6 crores under FIST proposal to acquire a thermomechanical simulator to study materials under controlled thermal and thermo-mechanical cycles. This facility is not available in the entire northern region and could be used by research workers of other institutes as well as Industries.
This equipment will help primarily to strengthen the research activities of the members of the faculty so that they are able to address the problems of their concern in a more comprehensive way. It is expected that the Department, with the help of equipment proposed, will be able to contribute to scientific and technical knowledge matching with the leading Institutions of the world in the area of Materials for advanced technological applications.

Balance and flux
Ecosystems and populations of organisms within ecosystems function by the principle of balance and flux. Balance can be thought of as a state of equilibrium, or a state of equal changes between two sides. Flux can be thought of as a rate of flow or changes. Even small changes in an ecosystem's or population's balance and flux could lead to disaster.

Hurricanes as Heat Engines
As water vapor evaporates from the warm ocean surface, it is forced upward in the convective clouds that surround the eyewall and rainband regions of a storm. As the water vapor cools and condenses from a gas back to a liquid state, it releases latent heat. The release of latent heat warms the surrounding air, making it lighter and thus promoting more vigorous cloud development.

Justin Bieber's apparently a "Belieber" when it comes to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
The 18-year-old pop star showed his support on Saturday night just before Mayweather got in the ring and beat Miguel Cotto. According to Billboard, Bieber even carried two of Mayweather's championship belts into the arena, and the pair were joined by 50 Cent and WWE wrestler Triple H as the welterweight champ made his entrance.
Rapper Lil' Wayne then joined Bieber and Team Mayweather in the ring after judges announced their unanimous decision.
The teen singer - who was reportedly with the boxer in his dressing room before the fight and sitting with Mayweather's "Money Team" during it - was vocal on Twitter about his support of the 35-year-old boxer.
Mayweather returned the celebrity love, telling Bieber via Twitter on Saturday, "keep up the great work and thanks for the support #TheMoneyTeam. Enjoy the fight."
All in all, it was a pretty stellar weekend for the Biebs: Not only was he up-close-and-personal at one of the most talked-about fights of the season, but the teen heartthrob's long-awaited latest video, "Boyfriend," made international headlines when it debuted on Thursday. The video's already amassed 17 million-plus views on YouTube.
The sexy babe-and-car-stocked clip, which aired for the first time Thursday on MTV and Vevo, shows the pop star singing to a lady friend who looks a lot like Selena Gomez, his girlfriend in real life.
The singer told MTV that while "Boyfriend" best reflects where he is in life, the single after it is the one he's most excited about.
"I just thought ('Boyfriend') was ... a song that most represented me at the time and what I wanted to put out there, " he said. "My next single after that is going to be better. ... I think it's 'As Long As You Love Me.' It's midtempo. I think it's edgy."
The singer's upcoming album, "Believe," is expected to drop June 19.
