I love that all three of my children (8, 5 & 3) enjoy playing with this kitchen. It provides them an outlet to use their imaginations and learn how to share and play with others.The kitchen does come in quite a few pieces, but the directions were clear and it didn't take long at all to assemble. There are quite a few stickers to put on, but it wasn't difficult. The difficult part was keeping the kiddos away while we were putting everything together. It comes in a large box and if your children are anything like mine, the box provides hours of enjoyment.This kitchen does require batteries so pick those up before heading home. I love that the kitchen makes noises as your children are "cooking".The kitchen looks nice and stylish and comes with assorted accessories such as full place settings, 5-piece serving set, salt & pepper shakers, 3 bins for storage, coffee pot, phone, pot holder and a pot & pan with lids. In addition, it also comes with 2 woven storage baskets and 1 recycle basket that fits underneath.I was a little disappointed that the kitchen did not come with any food pieces. Those will need to be purchased separately.

My three year old loves her new kitchen, but I have major gripes with this one. There is almost no storage in this kitchen. Any area meant to store items is so small that you can put maybe one or two items of food away in it. I can't even figure out a good place for the silverware so I put them in one of the baskets. The refrigerator and oven are both super tiny inside, the shelf for the plates does not hold the plates in, so they constantly roll out and onto my daughters head. It's a good size, but I wish the gigantic space they designated for the recycling bin was used to make a larger oven or fridge.... Or cabinet. I really wish I had taken more time to choose a kitchen because I would not have picked this one. I use the recycling bin to hold the pots and some food. Again my daughter loves it, but I have resorted to using baskets next to the kitchen to hold her food for it, which I find annoying since that means the whole setup takes up even more space.

Comments about Step2 Lifestyle Legacy Kitchen Set:
My grandson loves this kitchen. His father was a chief and so he spends hours "cooking" for his grandmother and me.He really enjoys the sounds of the oven, phone, and burner.We did buy additional items to enhance his playtime, however, the provided items are a great start.The kitchen was easy to assemble, taking only minutes to complete.

Bought for my 3 year old who loves it. Has to be put together and the stickers seem endless but that was expected. When it was all done one of the doors would not close, very frustrating! For the price you would think it would work perfectly. The volume is also low.
Time consuming assembly.

About Me Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
This was a gift for a two year old great nephew. It took 2 1/2 hours to assemble--40 minutes just for stickers. Holes for assembly are dimpled, but not pre-drilled. Had to punch out a starter hole for most screws. Phone would not stay in handset (I added a piece of stick-on velcro to secure it. Overall, a very cute kitchen. My nephew loved it. Not a gift to give not assembled to anyone you love.

Bought for my 3 year olds birthday and he loves it. My issue is that the oven door hangs down and would not stay closed. My husband put a screw there to help it latch but for the cost it should work properly. The volume is low as well.

Week 4 Hottest College Football Tickets
Monday, September 20th, 2010For the first time this season, we have a repeat #1 in the FanSnap FanDemand rankings. Yes that's right fans, even with the heartbreaking loss to the Arizona Wildcats, Iowa Hawkeyes tickets remain at the top of the list. Hawkeyes fans are ready to bounce back and should have an easy week taking on Ball State. Of course on the other side of that game, we'd like to see Wildcat fans rally behind their team after that impressive victory. Arizona Wildcat tickets still haven't broken into our top 25. The Wildcats look to extend their winning streak this week against Cal.
One of the most-anticipated games of the week features #3 on the FanDemand rankings, the Alabama Crimson Tide (tickets) heading to #17 Arkansas Razorbacks ( tickets). This is the start of a three game gauntlet for the Crimson Tide who follow up their game with the Razorbacks with #18 Florida Gators (tickets) and South Carolina Gamecocks (tickets). Both the Gators and the Gamecocks have fallen significantly in our rankings since opening the season at #6 and #18 respectively.
Other hot tickets include Oregon State Beavers @ Boise State Broncos tickets, where the average value is $230.00 and UCLA Bruins @ Texas Longhorns tickets.
Taking a quick look at the conference breakdown, the Big 10 is holding on strong to the two top spots, but the league only has one other team in the top 25. Its clear Iowa, Ohio State and Penn State are pulling in the fans. But what about you Michigan State fans? Surely after that last second, gutsy call against Notre Dame, fans have to be pumped for the Spartans! South of the Big 10, the Big 12 seems to be making a nice move up the rankings. At the start of the season the league had only 5 teams listed. The FanDemand ranking now features 7 Big 12 teams, with the unlikely Kansas Jayhawks leading the league at #6.
Week 4 is the start of conference play for many teams. Game on!
Top 25 College FanDemand Rankings for 9-20-2010 (Average Ticket Price for Home Games)

The plan proposed by the Inn, local churches and others |
The breakdown: There are two plans floating around, and one of them might be picked as the winner. How much parking, what type of parking, and landscaping are the issues being discussed.
When the land was first donated to Lee County by the railroad, it was landscaped with some palm trees and flowers. Later on, here and there, minor changes were made, but the theme of the median strip has remained the same: Palm trees and flowers.
As Boca Grande became a busier and busier thoroughfare, more and more people started parking there. Where it once was lush, green grass, patches of baldness started showing through. Trees that were originally planted were dying, and many have been replaced.
Within the last few years, particularly after more church traffic and social functions have become the norm, parking has become more and more packed on the grassy strip. Gilchrist Avenue residents, at some point, decided that enough was enough. They created a plan that they think is appropriate, which will not only provide some parking but will beautify the street.
However, there are people on the island who do not agree with the plan. Many feel the plan provided by Gilchrist residents is too extreme in limiting parking spaces. Those spaces are used by many people who attend functions at the churches or at the Gasparilla Inn Beach Club, and it is used as overflow and employee parking for downtown businesses during high season.
That is why the Gasparilla Inn & Club, in the interest of peace-keeping, created another plan for parking and beautification.
Both of these plans have been taking to Lee County officials. In response, those officials said they will not act without community consensus. According to Lee County's Department of Transportation, no laws are being broken by anyone parking there, with the exception of the hours posted on signs on the median strip, 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
The first plan has been provided by a committee of people made up primarily of residents of Gilchrist Avenue. Their plan is to provide parallel parking at intervals, a 24-foot wide median, landscaped with natural vegetation to prevent cross-over traffic, and designated handicapped parking. In all, the creators of this plan believe there will be plenty of designated spaces for cars and golf carts. While it is a substantially lower number of parking spaces than what is currently provided, Gilchrist residents feel there is ample parking within easy walking distance to take advantage of as well.
The second plan was created by the Gasparilla Inn & Club in working with the three churches on Gilchrist, as well as the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce. It has been endorsed by the Gasparilla Island Conservation and Improvement Association. The plan has been circulated amongst other islanders as well, and has been well-received.
This plan also has a shrub-line of native flowers planted down the middle of the median to prevent cross-through traffic, as well as cabbage palms strategically spaced to mark parking areas, but provides for pull-in parking instead of parallel parking. This provides for maximized parking, while still preventing dangerous cross-through traffic situations, and while beautifying the median strip.
The matter of designating the median strip as a historically-significant landmark will be taken up at the next Boca Grande Historic Preservation Board meeting on Wednesday, May 8, in the Woman's Club Room of the Community Center at 10 a.m.View More images >>
See the editorial section of this week's Boca Beacon for more letters on the median strip, and the GICIA endorsement.

Earlier this week I had the opportunity to interview Chad Gillaspy from his home in Missouri via Skype. Gillaspy was selected fourth overall in the 2012 NBL draft by the Oshawa Power but within minutes traded to the Storm for Louie McCroskey and cash considerations. We discussed the NBL draft, his new team the Summerside Storm, and his previous basketball experiences. Chad and I spent well over an hour talking back and fourth and I learned quite a bit about Summerside's newest wing man.
Quick Info: Quick Stats: (2010-2011 last year of college)
Height: 6'7″ Points per Game: 12.4
Weight: 215 Rebounds per Game: 8.2
Position: Forward Assists per Game: 1.4
College: Evangel (4 years) Steals per Game: 1.5
Brett Poirier: What was your first memory playing basketball?
Chad Gillaspy: Probably in first grade, I hit my first three point shot.
BP: Where did you attend high school? And did you play on the school basketball team?
CG: I went to Miller High School which is a really small town about 30 minutes west of Springfield, Missouri. And I played for the school team.
BP: What type of role did you have on the team?
CG: I did everything from play post to bring the ball up, I had a major role.
BP: Is this your first go with a professional team?
CG: Yes, I'm 24 and after four years of college it's now or never.
BP: Being 6'7″ you have more options then most at choosing you what position to play, what position do you primary play?
CG: I'm a versatile player. I can play inside and outside, that's what I like to do.
BP: What type of shooter are you? Perimeter, mid range, inside?
CG: In college I played power forward so I didn't get many opportunities to shoot long range, but in high school I shot from just about anywhere's on the court. It's been four years but I'm trying to get my three point shot back.
BP: Looking back at your weekend at the NBL draft combine, how do you personally feel about the way you preformed?
CG: I know I can play better; but for something like that where you come in and play with guys that you have no experiences with, and it's such a quick process, I think I did okay in that regard.
BP: Have you been keeping busy in the gym this summer?
CG: Oh yes, I've been training every day this summer.
BP: Have you touched base with coach Salerno yet?
CG: Yea we spoke briefly at the draft but other then that not to much. I'm sure I'll connect with him before the training camp though.
BP: What can you bring to this team that perhaps no one else can?
CG: I have a good inside game and I'm working on my outside game so versatility will be something I can bring to the team.
BP: Has anyone influence the way you play the game of basketball?
CG: My family, they're really into the sport and they love to watch. They've always supported me from the bleachers.
BP: Looking back at your experiences with the game what's your most memorable moment?
CG: The day I signed my college contract stands out to me, that's something you work hard for your whole life and to finally see it happen feels pretty good.
BP: What can the franchise expect from Chad Gillaspy?
CG: I'm a very hard worker, coming from a small town, playing college and now professionally. I've worked extremely hard to get where I am. I can guarantee you that the effort, the hustle, will be there all the time.
BP: I really appreciate you staying up past 2am to do this interview, I'm looking forward to meeting you in October.
CG: Same to you Brett, thanks for doing this, see you in the Fall Canada!

Business Retirement Plans
Taking Advantage of Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans Sep 8, 2008
Employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans such as 401(k)s are some of the most powerful retirement savings tools available. If your employer offers such a plan and you're not participating in it, you should be. Once you're participating in a plan, try to take full advantage of it.
Retirement Plans for Small Businesses Sep 5, 2008
As a business owner, you should carefully consider the advantages of establishing an employer-sponsored retirement plan. Generally, you're allowed a deduction for contributions you make to an employer-sponsored retirement plan. In return, however, you're required to include certain employees in the plan, and to give a portion of the contributions you make to those participating employees. Nevertheless, a retirement plan can provide you with a tax-advantaged method to save funds for your own retirement, while providing your employees with a powerful and appreciated benefit.
The Roth 401(k) Sep 5, 2008
Employers can offer 401(k) plan participants the opportunity to make Roth 401(k) contributions. If you're lucky enough to work for an employer who offers this option, Roth contributions could play an important role in maximizing your retirement income.
Understanding Defined Benefit Plans Sep 5, 2008
You may be counting on funds from a defined benefit plan to help you achieve a comfortable retirement. Often referred to as traditional pension plans, defined benefit plans promise to pay you a specified amount at retirement.
Understanding Individual 401(k) Plans Sep 5, 2008
If you're self-employed or own a small business, you've probably considered establishing a retirement plan.
Understanding IRAs Sep 5, 2008

Ok ladies n gents i have some products here from Genomyx/RPN/Thermogum..
What i have is a bottle of Renegade, 1 packet left of thermogum, a bottle of Eviscerate smoulder ( with 1 more on the way as we speak ), and the Performastrips VB-12
Renegade Balm:I first tested out when Matt came out with renegade bar soap and loved it and got a good reaction from co-workers and women around me, especially my significant other at the time who i now have a child with ( crazy eh LOL), so i figured hey why not, ill give this a go.
First Impressions:
I decided to try this prior to the gym to see if itd have any added boost for me and it did... i didnt interract with anyone but i definitely noted a boost in confidence and the wanting to kill it.
Ive only applied it once, but will be noting when i do apply it and the effects.
I will be applying this as needed or i see fit, might paly around with dosing prior to another workout again on a day im super amped AND a day i just dont want to train for one reason or another.
I love geranium and im always chewin gum in the gym, so this for me was a no brainer to pick up..
First Impressions:
I started off with one peice prior to the gym and felt a decent boost, so then i tried two, really saw no difference and 1 was just right. Taste is good and the added "pep" this adds for me is just right. I will not be using this for a while due to the B-12 strips i was sent to keep notes on.
If i do decide to chew some gum it will be far away from anytime ill dose a performastrip, but ill probly hold off on the gym for now.
Eviscerate Smoulder:
I used two bottles of the originial Eviscerate and was just in love with it, product worked amazingly well and the burn wasnt unbearable. Bought two more bottles and it burnt so bad i had to trade it away. I figured all hope was lost until Matt came up with this brilliant plan.
First Impressions:
It burns so good, seriously the perfect amount of "burn" if you will once it soaks in, not bad but it lets you know, " hey muhfugga, im here and working!".. Also immediately noticed water retention was going away by the hour. Also the smell is not bad at all, i hardly notice it. So far im seriously impressed.
I took a pic a couple minutes ago, and will be taking 1 picture a week for the duration of this log, along with updating how i feel and if Matt has anything he wants me to try ( such as applying it other places ) im game. Like i stated i have 1 more bottle on the way. If i can, ill be picking up a 3rd bottle.
I will be dosing this every day at night after my evening shower, once daily.
Performastrips VB-12:
Got these bad boys in today, had not taken stims today nor had i for the previous 4 days. I was taking jacked pre workout sparingly but have since cut that out and only use PreMax or my own mix. So i will be using these AM and possibly prior to a workout, really depends on how Genomyx/Matt Rec i use this.
First Impressions:
Draggin ass all day was an understatement, my meal timing was messed up and i was yawnin all day, so once i get thesei pop one onto the tongue. First thing i notice is the pleasant taste, well done for sure.
I then proceed to head to PT to navigate the obstacle course. Now was it geranium like energy? No but i definitely noticed and uplift which helped power me through the course.. Shocked actualy, as i usualy notice nothing from any B vits..
I will be taking 1 performastrip prior to training
So this is whats going on right now,ill be updating daily for the Eviscerate Smoulder and the Performastrips, and occasionaly on the Renegade/ThermoGum,any questions, comments, concerns let me know!!

Transmogrification with legacy PvP gear
by Tachyon on Wed. 30. November 2011, 20:15
Filed under: transmogrification, pvp, gear, 4.3
Last minute changes before patch 4.3 went life, with good news:The legacy PvP sets from classic and TBC can now be used for transmogrification!.
Blizzard almost ruined transmogrification for me by omitting those sets (it's hard to find cool looking black robes anyway), I'm so glad they changed their minds finally
Blue post:
The items out in the world (Marshals, Grand Marshal's, High Warlord, etc) that use the level 60 PvP art are un-transmogrifiable (including the item level 115 stuff that shares the name from Burning Crusade).
In Area 52 a set of vendors has replaced the PvP Vendors who used to live there. Grex Brainboiler, Krixel Pinchwhistle, Tini Smalls, Kezzik the Striker, Big Zokk Torquewrench, and Leeni 'Smiley' Smalls. These vendors sell new, transmogrifiable versions of the classic armor to players who have the Feat of Strength for Legionnaire/Knight-Captain or higher under the old PvP system.
The design intent with the Feat of Strength achievement requirement was specifically to limit these particular art styles to players who earned them through the OG (and relentlessly difficult) PvP honor system, while keeping the door open to reward them to more people in the future.
Potentially related, since he's in the same area, Kezzik the Striker sells inaccessible Season 1 Gladiator's, Season 2 Merciless Gladiator's, and Season 3 Vengeful Gladiator's gear to all players, as the majority of that gear didn't have restrictions.
Dragon Soul Tactics: Fall of Deathwing
by Tachyon on Sun. 20. November 2011, 11:45
Filed under: cataclysm, guide, strategy, deathwing, dragon soul, raiding
Welcome to the 2nd part of the Dragon Soul raid tactics. If you've missed the first part (Siege of Wyrmrest Temple), you might want to read that first for tactics on Morchock, Warlord Zon'ozz, Yor'sahj the Unsleeping and Hagara the Stormbinder.
This fight is a tank-and-spank fight, where especially healers and tanks have to deal with the increasing damage done by this boss. The buffs granted by the dragon aspects (crystals, only one can be active on each player) grants the healers more healing power.
Tanks gain a buff from Thrall, reducing defensive cooldowns by 50% and increasing the duration of defensive abilities by 100%.
The dragon aspects will summon crystals behind the raid in regular intervals. Those are meant to be used by the healers, every healer can have one (and only one) buff for the entire duration of the fight.
- Red crystal (Alexstrazsa): increases healing done by 100%
- Green crystal (Ysera): causes all healing done to be duplicated and distributed evenly amongst the raid
- Blue crystal (Kalecgos): reduces mana cost by 75%, and haste by 100%.
The fight takes place on two realms: normal and twilight. Players get a bar with a spell button for Heroic Will in the lower center of the screen, which will allow to escape them from the twilight realm for 5sec, butrenders them unable to do anything until they're back in the twilight realm. Some addons may cause problems by obscuring the bar with the special button, so better make a macro for that:
/click ExtraActionButton1
All players gain a Timeloop buff by Nozdormu, which prevents death once (instead of dying, you'll lose the buff and your health is filled up).
- Boss explodes if he's not killed within 6 minutes, so it's also a DPS race (also because his damage increases steadily during the fight)
- Hour of Twilight: tanks stay in twilight realm and use defensive cooldowns to survive this, all other players escape to the normal realm.
- Fading Light: Ultraxion applies this debuff to 1(10)/ 3(25) players. You need to leave the twilight realm using Heroic Will ~2 seconds before the buff expires, otherwise the explosion will kill you.
Warmaster Blackhorn
Also known as: Lootship. The fight starts with waves of two meele attackers and drakes, which need to be killed, before in phase 2 Blackhorn and his drake Goriona enter the fight.
- Kill adds (Sappers need to die quickly), casters focus on the drakes
- Twilight Onslaught: large swirly patches on ship the ship, this is where Goronia's next attack hits. Enough players need to stand in them to soak up the damage (otherwise the damage hits the ship, and if you lose the ship you're dead).
- Phase 2: Kill Blackhorn and Goriona (drake, will eventually fly away), casters and healers need to stand at least 10y away because of disrupting roar
- Twilight Flames: Goriona casts purple (non-swirly) void zones on the deck of the ship, don't stand in them as they deal massive damage
Spine of Deathwing
After defeating Blackhorn and talking to the NPC on the Lootship, you get ported to the back of Deathwing, where the fight immediately begins.
Be warned: this fight can get quite chaotic, make sure everyone on the raids knows exactly what to do.
- Kill one of the four Corruption Tentacles. Each killed tentacle leaves an open wound on Deathwing, from which adds (large Hideous Amalgamations and small Corrupted Bloods) will spawn.
- Killing Corrupted Bloods near an Amalgamation give it an Absorbed Blood buff. Bring the Amalgamation low, but don't kill it before it has 9 stacks of absorbed blood. Once the Amalgamation has 9 stacks, it will do heavy AoE damage, so meele should step aside and let the ranged classes kill it.
- The Amalgamation will cast Nuclear Blast upon its death, which pries open an elementium plate and exposes a Burning Tendron within. Nuke and kill it quickly before it finishes casting Seal Armor Breach. Once it is dead, another armor plate is removed, exposing two additional Corruption Tentacles.
- Kill the next Corruption to spawn another Amalgamation, and proceed as with the first one.
- The fight is won after 3 Burning Tendrons are killed.
Madness of Deathwing
The final fight against Deathwing takes place at the Maelstrom. There are four platforms around it where players can stand, and each platform is supported by one of the dragon aspects. The platforms are, from left to right:
- RED (Alexstrazsa, presence: +20% health)
- YELLOW (Nozdormu, presence: +20% haste)
- GREEN (Ysera, presence: +20% healing done)
- BLUE (Kalecgos, presence: +20% damage done)
The recommended platform order is Green->Yellow->Red->Blue. This lets you profit from the +20% dmg buff the longest, and you only have to deal with the Blistering Tentacles on the last platform.
On each platform:
- Attack tentacle
- Switch to Mutated Corruption as soon as it appears
- When Elementium Bolt is cast, target and kill it quickly. Step away from its impact location, as damage you take is lower the further away you stand. Use the 'Dream' ability before it impacts (until you've done Ysera's platform). A '/target Elementium Bolt' macro is recommended.
- Kill small adds (Blistering Tentacles, Regenerative Bloods)
- When the Mutated Corruption is slain, switch back to the tentacle and kill it (if you don't kill it fast enough, Deathwing's Cataclysm spell will wipe your raid)
- After killing the tentacle, proceed to the next platform
Each platform gets a litte harder, as you lose the support of a dragon aspect once you've done his or her platform. The Elementium Bolt is really fast after you've done Nozdormu's platform, so be careful to step outside its impact location immediately when it's cast. After Alexstrszas' platform, you've got to kill the Blistering Tentacles by yourself (this has top priority, failing to kill them fast enough is a common wipe cause), and depending on your setup you might want to use bloodlust/heroism/timewarp here. The Blistering Tentacles spawn when the platform tentacle is at 75%/50%/25% health. On the PTR it seemed like the Blistering Tentacles are immune to AoE damage, so you might want to focus kill them.
After the 4 platforms, go back to the first (where you started), and attack Deathwing. Adds will also spawn also in this phase, kill the first add waves but remember to focus on killing Deathwing quickly (tanking and ignoring the last waves), this phase is a pure DPS race.
Dragon Soul Tactics: Siege of Wyrmrest Temple
by Tachyon on Fri. 18. November 2011, 20:43
Filed under: cataclysm, guide, strategy, deathwing, dragon soul, raiding
The Public Test Realm offers a good occasion to get a sneek preview of the upcoming raid dungeons. In patch 4.3, we get three new 5men dungones, and a new raid dungeon called Dragon Soul, where we finally face Deathwing himself.
Patch 4.3 also offers a new PUG-feature for raid instances, with slightly downgraded difficulty and loot: Looking for Raid. Players can participate in LFR multiple times a week, but only roll for loot the first time a boss is beaten. Nevertheless, the LFR invite pops up really fast (only 2 tanks needed per 25men raid, so it's way faster than LFG) and it's a hell of a lot of fun to do for casual raiders and twinks.
Now that I've done Dragon Soul (normal and LFR) almost daily over the last two weeks, I decided to sum up the strategies and tactics we have established and tested successfully, in the hope to help you get through the instance without worries.
The Dragon Soul entrance lies the Caverns of Time in Tanasris (as do the 5men instances, by the way). Once you enter you stand in front of Wyrmrest Temple in Dragonblight, ready to face the first boss after about three trash packs.
Morchock is the first and one of the easiest encounters, to the point where you could consider him 'freeloot'.
- Positioning: huddle up behind Boss (so the Stomp damage splits between all Players)
- Crystal Orb: Morchock summons a red crystal that explodes after 12 seconds. The 3/8 Players standing nearest to the crystal get connected to it with a yellow line, and need to run quickly to the crystal to soak up the damage (damage is larger the further you stand away from the crystal, the line turns blue if you stand close enought)
- Spikes: when the spikes arrive, take cover behind them from Black Ooze that follows shortly after (black stuff that floats on the ground). Casters should position themselves between two spikes so they can continue casting during Black Ooze.
- Another stomp will follow after the ooze goes away, don't return too early or you might get killed by the stomp (unless you're in LFR difficulty)
Warlord Zon'ozz
Tank turns boss away from the raid (Psychic Drain cone AoE, 30° angle).
Make two camps: one ranged, one meele, and mark them with symbols.
- Focused Anger stacks on tank as boss attacks, reduces healing received
- Void of the Unmaking: The Void Orb travels outside, and can be reflected by players. When the void touches the boss, it gets consumed and resets the Focused Anger stacks, but the boss will do a Black Blood AoE for a short time, dealing heavy damage to all players (so huddle up in your camp to make it easier for the healers). During that phase, players also deal more damage, depending on how many times the void was reflected.
- Obviously you want to reflect the void a few times to benefit from the damage buff, but not too often because you need to reset the Focused Anger debuff on the tank. The void travels outside, so the first reflection has to be done by a member of the ranged camp. The next reflect is then done by the meele camp, and so on.
- 5 reflections is a good number to start with: Ranged(1) -> Meele(2) -> Ranged(3) -> Meele(4) -> Ranged(5) -> Meele step aside and tank turns the boss in the way of the void orb so it gets consumed.
Yor'sahj the Unsleeping
You need only one tank, as the Void Bolt debuff (reduced healing on the tank, stacks) resets when you kill a globule.
- Boss summons 3 out of 6 possible globues (randomly).Kill one globule, the one that's most threatening (you can't kill more than one, after you killed the first, the other two will fuse, rendering them immune to all damage, which means the boss will gain two effects).
- Kill order: Purple > Green > Yellow/Blue
- Cobalt ( Blue): Spawns a void sphere, which drains your mana, and returns it to all targets within 18y if you kill it. Not very threatening, but annoying for your healers and casters
- Crimson ( Red): Huddle up, massive AoE dmg that has to be healed through, use heal cooldowns
- Glowing ( Yellow): Boss attacks faster (60%), abilities used twice as often
- Dark ( Black): Summons adds that fixate players, AoE kill them quickly
- Acidic ( Green): Acid splash damage to single players, spread out (at least 4y away from other players)
- Shadowed ( Purple): Every 5th heal or absorbtion effect causes a heavy explosion in the raid (so stop healing during deep corruption). This is the most dangerous effect here, so killing this globule has top priority. Healers should be aware that the same effect occurs when you fight them as trash.
Hagara the Stormbinder
Hagara has alternating phases (normal, frost, normal, lightning, normal, and so on).
- Ice Lance: deals damage to a player (Beam), has to be healed through (mild damage). Other players have to stay away from the beams (especially where they intersect). Players with beams on them walk away from the other players a bit, towards the source of the beam.
- Ice Tombs: Trap players, have to be killed
- Focused Assault: channeled, deals heavy damage, but tank can just walk out of it.
- Boss is immune during this phase
- Ice Wave: 4 ice waves, spread apart in an 90° angle, rotate around the boss (clockwise), and must be avoided. They grow from the center to the perimeter before they start rotating, make sure you position yourself between two of them before it's to late.
- Run clockwise around the boss, stay away from the impact locations where ice meteors will rain down (blue area on ground)
- 4 Binding crystals (~totems, on N/E/S/W) that have to be killed to remove the boss' shield, so she can be interrupted to end this phase
- Frost Flake needs to be dispelled (leaves behind a frost trap that must be avoided)
- Crystal Conductors which have to be energized to end this phase
- 1 (LFR difficulty)/2 adds spawn, kill them on crystal conductors (on opposite ends of the platform) to energize 2 crystal conductors. Players standing nearby will get hit by an ongoing chain lightning, players have to reposition in a way the chain lightning passes through them into passive crystal conductors to activate them and end the lightning phase.
As this is my favourite boss in the first part of Dragon Soul, I made a video I'd like to share with you, hope you like it (watch it on Youtube for FullHD)
Coming up next: tactics to the 2nd part of Dragon Soul, with Ultraxion, Warmaster Blackhorn, Spine and Madness of Deathwing.

Next WoW Expansion announced
by Tachyon on Fri. 21. October 2011, 22:59
Filed under: wow, expansion, pandaren, blizzcon
Today, Blizzard announced the next WoW Expansion at Blizzcon 2011:
Mists of Pandaria
My interest playing WoW:MoP: Zero. Zilch. Sorry.
In the early years of WoW, I almost spent the equivalent of my in-game time outside of WoW, writing guides in the guild forum, exploring and discussing spell mechanics, starting this blog and writing countless analysis and simulation programs for myself to optimize my gameplay. That was a game of its own, and I loved it.
Over the years, I've seen many of a in-game friend getting tired of WoW, taking pauses of the game for a few months or permanently quitting altogether (*hugs* to Face, Wammer, Farbelila, Morello, Nemthros and all the rest, miss you!). But not once did I grew tired of the game (I think this is due to me playing rather moderately, the candle that burns half as fast lasts twice as long). Not once, until Cataclysm hit.
I still don't know why, but I lost more and more interest in theorycrafting and writing guides. There was nothing new to explore. Rotations, stat weights and mechanics became public domain, the just-do-what-EJ-tells type of mindset was good enough to beat the content, why bother do to more. Moreover, the mage class became a trivialized version of itself (I'm looking at you, Arcane spec!).
Here I am, stranded at a point where I don't expect anything new to come to the World of Warcraft. I won't blame the game, it was great for what it was, and trivializing it is the only reasonable approach to keep it playable. And somehow it becomes clear to me that this probably is the last WoW expansion I'd bother spending my time on.
Don't misunderstand me, I still love playing the game, but it's no longer that honeymoon feeling. Raiding still makes me want to play, and I look forward to the next patch because of Deathwing (I hope that's more than shooting at his metal scales standing on his back while he flies loops) and transmogrification. This, but nothing more.
But then there's that other game, one that I eagerly await, the one that has my soul since I started playing the series in 1996: Diablo III!
Can't wait to play monk and wizard in the world of Sanctuary!
I away thee, hordes of terror, for thou shalt face my martial and arcane arts, soon!
Blizzard announced today that Diablo III will be free for players that open up an annual subscription to WoW (which includes Yet-Another-Mount and the guaranteed opt-in for the next WoW expansions). Will this keep me subscribed? Probably not, but I couldn't say no now for sure. We'll see.
What about you? Still playing WoW, still planning to play the next expansion? Share your thoughts and enlighten me

Okay I need help with this one ladies and gentlman.
I see you looking at me
Looking at me, so I ask
Am I a psycho?
Am I a psycho?
Yeah I'm a psycho
I guess I'm a psycho
(Verse I Tech N9ne)
You're crazy
I like you, but you're crazy, my tours paid me
so I used that dough to allure ladies to manure bathe me
Never know that my minds for sure shady
Pure Hades, rev x steady they couldn't endure to save me
Why did I let this stripper burn me on the arm with her cigarette
In the same spot ten times in a row when I felt that burn upon the clitoris?
I'ma get her wet, sorry to get carried away, I feel stupid cause I ain't did her yet
Maybe she never let a fine nigga stare at her breasts, I get vexed but I ain't bit her neck
Open, I try to contain it but that damn dame thang's soakin'
Alter ego say why you let them gang bang folk in
Strange lane hopin' I can maintain copin
But ain't nobody talkin when the insane mane spoken
I like fire on my skin, blood on my draws
from up on her walls, I'm suffering, I'm stuck in her claws
stuffed in her jaws, huffin' and puffin' hollerin like I'm a dog
Afterwards I like really hot scolding water on my balls
Am I a psycho?
Am I a psycho?
Yeah I'm a psycho
I guess I'm a psycho
(Verse II Hopsin)
Mom? Dad? I'm no longer the boy you're used to seeing
I've changed a lot, plus I've grown to hate every human being
My mood swings have now turned my dreams into gruesome scenes
Now I'm doing things I don't normally do
When illusions seem to be the only pleasures I can gain
Heck, if I was sane I would of put down the mic and say fuck it I'll never rise to fame
But with the wicked records I contain, I could probably jeprodise your name
No lovey-dovey let's ignite the flame if you're lucky you survive the pain
Sorry that ain't very marry to say, why is this game so scary to play?
Well let me think, cause every day my balls are getting too hairy to shave
Pause a minute, I'm stressin' the game if I go to hell, then heavens to blame
I don't mean to come off crazy but you mothafuckas seem to think that I'm hella deranged
When I was seven years old, I fell on my head and I severed my brain
If you think I'm lying then ask my mama nigga she'll can tell you the same
Should I be ashamed? No, I'm living my life so ghetto fabulous
Before you get bent outta a shape my nigga let me ask you this
Am I a psycho?
Am I a psycho?
Yeah I'm a psycho
I guess I'm a psycho
(verse III B.o.B)
I stab you with this mic and rap this verse I'm rappin' to you
Matter fact I'm rapping through you, never say my motherfucking name
Unless you absolutely have to I am not no fucking jacket
With no matching shoes and you are not no fashion guru
Can't even see you niggas, y'all wish I was rappin' to you
Matter of fact act like I'm rappin' to you if that gives you passion
To use this as an excuse then just jump up out of conclusion
that I'm attackin you dudes is just like old fashion voodoo
Y'all ain't even the shit, no y'all ain't even the doodoo
I got more flavor on the tissue paper under my toobos
So I'm slapping you foolish with wooden paddles you stupid
Baby sitting little bastards like little afternoon children
You can call me psychotic but it's more like schizophrenic
And I can't speak, can anyone tell me just where my medicine is
Guess I gotta show these minors just what my avenue is
Man I swear I'm all about my brain like graduate students
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings
I see your tears, come here, give me your face, let me clear it
But I wonder how it would look if I could peel it back with a skillet
Then I'ma fill it crack when I hit it, then I'ma split it back when you heal it
Damn it Bobby boy, what in the hell, what in the heaven, what in the earth
Where is your mom? Why do you curse? Where are you from?
Where was your birth? Where were you first? Why weren't you in church?
Why is there dirt, all on your shirt? Man I think that you're going berserk
Am I a psycho?
Am I a psycho?
Yeah I'm a psycho
I guess I'm a psycho
Bumping this shit back up. I'll try to put more input into it tomorrow, but I'm thinking of getting just an All 6's And 7's lyrics thread together.
I could probably jump without your name
I could probably jeperdise your name i think
i think he says to "manure bathe me"lol
hollering ima dog, afterwards i like really hot scolding water on my balls
"Then I'ma fill it crack when I hit it, then I'ma spill it back when you ill it "
This one sounds like, towards the end it should be "...I'ma (spill or peel) it back when you [Heal] it."
before you get bent outta shape my nigga let me ask you this?--hopsin verse
not before you gimpin outta shape

text: The week-long deer gun harvest in Ohio was down 13% from 2012: it may be because the deer population in the state is down. The Division of Wildlife says other factors point that way: the number of car-deer accidents in 2012 was down over 7%. The total deer gun harvest was over 75,400; the numbers were "up" in the three local counties. It wasn't a particularly safe deer-gun-season that just concluded: there were seven shooting incidents in Ohio; three hunters were killed. None of those incidents happened in northeast Ohio.

Stellafane 2010
Stuck in Vermont 187

8/7/10: Over 1000 attendees converged in Springfield VT at the 75th Stellafane Convention this weekend.
Amateur astronomers and telescope makers spent 3 evenings gazing at the Vermont sky. Sort of like Woodstock for the stargazing crowd.

Seattle Sounders FC 2013 Season Review: A Tale of Two Seasons
The noted English writer Charles Dickens captured the essence of the Seattle Sounders FC's season in the opening paragraph of his literary classic A Tale of Two Cities . Using Dickens' phrases, let's take a look at how the year played out for the Rave Green.
It was the best of times...
On September 23rd, the Sounders defeated Real Salt Lake 2-0 to win their fifth match in a row before a raucous home crowd of 55,107. The victory elevated Seattle to take the Supporters Shield lead over Real Salt Lake and the New York Red Bulls by one point with two games in hand.
It was the worst of times...
Seattle ended the regular season with three draws and five losses to finish fourth in the Western Conference standings. They moved on to win the one-game knockout round 2-0 against the Colorado Rapids. In their next playoff matchup against the Portland Timbers, the Sounders were eliminated when they lost 5-3 in the two-game total goals series.

It was the age of wisdom...
Forward Obafemi Martins signed with the Sounders in March. He recorded eight goals and four assists. In 2012, Seattle sent forwards Lamar Neagle and Mike Fucito to Montreal in exchange for Eddie Johnson. Neagle returned to the Sounders in 2013 and matched Martins' goal and assist totals.
It was the age of foolishness...
Seattle acquired midfielder Shalrie Joseph as a designated player. He relinquished the DP slot once Dempsey arrived. Joseph was hurt most of the year. He scored one goal and one assist in eleven games.
"We would have liked to see Shalrie to have been able to give us more and stay healthy," general manager and co-owner Adrian Hanauer said during his season ending media conference call. "Again, that's on me to go back and think through what I could have done differently throughout the year."

It was the epoch of belief...
During August and September five-match winning streak, goalkeeper Michael Gspurning allowed one goal and recorded four shutouts, or ten for the season.
It was the epoch of incredulity...
In the first two October MLS matchups, Gspurning gave up nine goals in the losses to Colorado (5-1) and Vancouver (4-1). Marcus Hahnemann replaced Gspurning in the next two games. He returned to the starting rotation in the last game of the season and rest of the playoffs.
It was the season of Light...
The Sounders announced Dempsey's signing in mid-August before 65,000 fans, making him the league's highest paid player.
It was the season of Darkness...
Dempsey tallied one one goal and one assist in all competitions.
It was the spring of hope...
After a successful return last year from his 2011 leg fracture, midfielder/winger Steve Zakuani was ready to make an impact in 2013 and once again showcase his flashy moves and speed.
It was the winter of despair...
Zakuani underwent hernia surgery in late June. He recorded one assist in eight games.

We had everything before us...
Martins, Dempsey, Johnson, Neagle, Zakuani, Osvaldo Alonso, Brad Evans, Mauro Rosales, Gspurning: the MLS Cup appeared to be within Seattle's grasp.
We had nothing before us...
Owners Hanauer and Joe Roth "vote of confidence" made head coach Sigi Schmid's 2014 coaching status tenuous at best. Rumors are rampant that Seattle is shopping leading scorer Johnson to other MLS teams. Dempsey re-injured his calf in preparation for a friendly against Scotland on November 14.

Seattle Sounders FC 1 - 2 Portland Timbers Post Game Reactions (VIDEO)
The Portland Timbers held on to a 2-1 lead in their first leg Western Conference playoffs against the Seattle Sounders FC .
Portland forwards Ryan Johnson and Darlington Nagbe scored in the 15th and 67th minutes of play, respectively.
Osvaldo Alonso's 90th minute strike reduced the deficit to one in the two-game aggregate goals format. Alonso's tally was Seattle's first goal ever in five previous playoff first leg matchups.
Seattle forward Clint Dempsey was robbed by Portland keeper Donovan Ricketts in the 20th minute. Dempsey's shot appeared headed towards the upper right corner of the net until an extended Ricketts made the block.
Seattle's newest and high-profile signing headed down the ball in front of the net with three minutes left in regulation time. The ball bounced high off the pitch and struck the crossbar.
"I was happy with the looks that I got and getting touches on the ball," Dempsey said after the match. "It just seemed like one of those nights where it wasn't going to go in for me."
In the video below, Portland head coach Caleb Porter, Johnson and Ricketts shared their thoughts on the match. A despondent Sigi Schmid provided his views on the return match on Thursday in Portland.

Seattle Sounders FC 2 - 0 Colorado Rapids: Seattle Press Conferences Video/Audio
Seattle--The Sounders defeated Colorado 2-0 with goals from Brad Evans and Eddie Johnson. Clint Dempsey notched his first assist as a Sounder on Johnson's goal in the 93rd minute.
Seattle will be without keeper Michael Gspurning for the first leg playoff match against the Portland Timbers on Saturday. The Austrian net minder caught a ball outside the penalty area that resulted in a red card and automatic ejection late in the match. Marcus Hahnemann will replace Gspurning in the nets.
In the video below, head coach Sigi Schmid addressed the keeper change in his post game comments. Gspurning shared his thoughts on the ejection, while Johnson discussed the improvement in playing with Dempsey.

Sounders Playoff Bound, Now What?
The Sounders expect a crowd of over 64,000 fans for Sunday's last regular season match against the LA Galaxy. Supporters will be wondering which team will show up.
With the playoffs looming, will it be the side that lost one match in August and September? Or, is it the current Sounders riding a late season four-game losing streak?
Some of the key considerations include:
Sounders FC head coach Sigi Schmid started Marcus Hahnemann the last two regular season matches in place of season long starter Michael Gspurning.
Schmid pulled the Austrian keeper after he gave up nine goals in two games. Hahnemann's lost his two away starts by scores of 0-1 and 0-2 to Portland and FC Dallas, respectively.
Lamar Neagle (Wikimedia Commons)
Despite the presence of Eddie "Show Me The Money" Johnson, Obafemi Martins, Clint Dempsey and Lamar Neagle the Sounders are 13th in goals scored. Johnson leads the team with nine, with Martins and Neagle tied with eight each.
The lack of chemistry and offensive production could be attributed to nagging injuries, national team callups and an ever-changing lineup.
Clint Dempsey
The high-profile and multi-million dollar signing of Dempsey was supposed to be a turning point for the Seattle franchise. Management must be concerned with the lack of production from the former English Premier League player.
In 561 minutes of play, he's failed to record a single goal or assist. Dempsey's been the recipient of several hard tackles and currently suffering from a shoulder injury.
Should he find his scoring touch in the playoffs, all will be forgiven.
Home field advantage
Seattle's lost two home games in 16 matches (10-2-4 34 points), and could exceed their previous record of 35 points with a win over the Galaxy. In seven matches where home attendance exceeded 53,000, the Sounders won each one.
Head coach Sigi Schmid.
Schmid's faced numerous challenges this year: the Dempsey acquisition hoopla, an ever changing game day roster due to World Cup qualification, shaky late-season goalkeeping and assorted injuries to key players.
Team owners aren't satisfied with making the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. The pressure's on the veteran MLS gaffer to bring a championship home to Seattle.
Should the Sounders fail to come close in their quest, look for significant player and coaching changes before the start of the 2014 season.

Post-Match Reactions: Colorado Rapids 5 - 1 Seattle Sounders FC
Game Summary
The Colorado Rapids humiliated the visiting Sounders FC squad by scoring four goals in the first half and eventually winning 5-1. Colorado's victory ended Seattle's seven-game unbeaten streak.
Head coach Sigi Schmid entered the match with several key players out due to injuries: forwards Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins, midfielder Shalrie Joseph, defenders Djimi Traore and Leo Gonzalez.
Colorados' Deshorn Brown notched the first of his two goals 13 seconds into the match, ansd tallied his second 30 minutes later. Dillon Powers, Drew Moor and Gabriel Torres rounded out the rest of the Rapids' goal scorers.
Sounders FC forward Eddie Johnson scored his ninth goal of the year in the 63rd minute to prevent the shuthout.

Man of the Match: Deshorn Brown
"[The ball] was coming my way and I just took it, and we just started from there. We played a long ball and headed back to Torres, then he played back to me and I just ran up to it and put it in the back of the goal."--Deshorn Brown, Colorado Rapids forward
"It was great for him [to get the early goal], and Deshorn needed it as well...I spoke to him during the week, and he knew how badly we needed this result. He did excellent at training during the week. Everything came together for Deshorn [Brown] today, and we're very glad for him."--Oscar Pareja, Colorado Rapids head coach
Colorado's Fast Start
"When you score 13 seconds into the game, that's a pretty quick start. To be honest, that kickoff is something we work on. We train on that. We don't always expect to score off that, but to get in their half, get up the field and start putting early pressure on them. I think we have started slow at times at home, and usually we use the second half to build off of, and we score goals late, but this was different tonight, this was pretty special."--Drew Moor, Colorado Rapids defender
Seattle's Poor First Half Performance
"No, it's good to get your ass kicked at this time of the year, just to remind you that this is the real thing and if you don?t come out completely prepared mentally and ready to give everything you have, you're going to get your ass kicked."--Sigi Schmid, Seattle Sounders FC head coach
Sounders' Improved Second Half
"Well, the message was that we wanted to win the second half, which we did, up until they got the injury time goal from Torres. But just that we needed to show some character, to play better, to win the second half. That was our objective. And not to do anything stupid, not to pick up a red card, which obviously we didn't accomplish (Zach Scott was sent off after receiving his second yellow card of the match)...But at the end of the day, Colorado was better than us today."

Seattle Sounders FC 2 -0 Real Salt Lake (Video: Coaches Post-Game Press Conferences)
Seattle forwards Obafemi Martins and Lamar Neagle tallied their eight goals of the year in the 2-0 victory over Real Salt Lake. The win before 55,107 fans was Seattle's fifth in a row and put them at the top of the Western Conference standings and first place in overall points.

With Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson starting the game on the bench due to their National Team commitments, Martins and Neagle showcased Seattle's offensive depth. Dempsey and Johnson eventually entered the game in the second half.
"With the minutes that Clint (Dempsey) had played and the minutes Eddie (Johnson) had on Tuesday... we decided, 'Hey, we've been in a good run and they are a little bit tired, let's use them off the bench today,'" Schmid said. "We knew they would participate and help us. Clint was unlucky with a couple of good chances and Eddie was almost in there as well a couple of times...It just shows the depth of our team."
Seattle notched their fifth win in a row and holds a single point edge over Real Salt Lake with two games in hand. The Sounders extended their home unbeaten streak to to 13 games (10-0-3).
Below is the video from the post-match press conferences with Real Salt Lake head coach Jason Kreis and Schmid:

Sounders Extend Winning Streak with 2-1 Win Over Chicago Fire
Lamar Neagle tallied his seventh goal of the year in the 2-1 victory over the Chicago Fire. The Fire struck in the 25th minute on Mike Magee's shot inside the post. The former Galaxy player's 15th goal of the year maintained his status as the MLS' scoring leader.

The game remained tied until the 89th minute of play. Zach Scott's cross was redirected by Gonzalo Segares past a surprised Sean Johnson. With the win, Seattle extended its home unbeaten streak to 12 games (9-0-3).
Neagle's strike in the 40th minute was his seventh MLS goal of the year, tying him with forward Eddie Johnson for the team lead.
The Sounders last minute victory took place without the services of Johnson, Clint Dempsey and Brad Evans. All three were selected for the US Men's National Team matches against Costa Rica and Mexico. Evans stayed in Seattle to recuperate from a calf strain suffered in last weekend's match against Columbus.
Seattle forward Obafemi Martins returned to action and led the Sounders with four shots, two of which were on goal.
Friday's matchup in Seattle against Real Salt Lake positions the Rave Green to take Western Conference lead. The Sounders have two games in hand and are within two points of first place Real Salt Lake.

Record Crowd Cheers Clint Dempsey's Home Debut and 1-0 Victory Over Portland Timbers
Clint Dempsey, the Sounders' newest and priciest acquisition, made his first home appearance in front of 67,385 on Sunday night. His debut added to the Cascadia derby intensity against long-time rivals, the Portland Timbers.
Forward Eddie Johnson scored the lone goal on a header from midfielder Mauro Rosales. His tally provided the margin to send the Sounders into fifth place in the Western Conference.
"The ball got out wide to Mauro and I just had to attack," Johnson said. "I knew it was going to be a frustrating game, but for me I wanted to use my experience and when the opportunity came rise to the occasion."
Dempsey took his fair share of lumps from Portland's defenders. He noted the physical nature of MLS in his post-match press conference.
"It's going to be physically played. It's a man's game," Dempsey said "You just have to keep getting up and try to figure out ways to avoid challenges and try to get good looks-try to play people through, try to get shots on goal."
Despite failing to score in his third match as a Sounder, Dempsey remains optimistic.
"I'm happy with the way things are going," the former English Premier League player said. "I feel like I'm getting stronger every game in fitness and my quality of touches, and the looks that I'm getting, and it's only a matter of time before it starts falling in the net for me."
Below is the video of Portland and Seattle supporters in action, and some of the pre-match festivities.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Watch out, Lakewood Ranch: A battle of epic proportions is about to ensue.
Restaurants on Lakewood Ranch Main Street will sizzle during the first Main Street Restaurant Cook-Off at 3 p.m., June 27. Guests on Main Street will have a chance to sample barbecue-style dishes created Main Street's restaurants and then vote for their favorite.
"It's just to generate some more people, new visitors to Main Street," event co-organizer and MacAllisters Grill & Tavern owner Karen Ronney said. "The restaurants have really gotten excited about competition part. That's something that is new."
Restaurant owners already have rolled up their sleeves to create some mouth-watering experiences. For example, MacAllisters Grill & Tavern will offer a marinated beef with salsa, while Polo Grill and Bar will offer ribs. Ed's Tavern will offer pulled pork for sampling and for purchase.
The winner will be announced around 7 p.m., and the winning restaurant will receive a trophy and a year's worth of bragging rights.
The cook-off also will include festivities such as pony rides and face painting, children's games, samplings from future Main Street merchants Big Olaf Creamery and Good Earth Natural Foods and live music by The Rum Runners.
"There's never an awful lot of events in the summer, and there's a lot of people who live in Lakewood Ranch all year round," said Ronney, who co-sponsored the event with Ed's Tavern owner John Breiner and Lakewood Ranch. "We wanted to do something where people could come out with their family. Main Street is perfect for hosting a big family event."
Beer and food sales from the event will benefit Veterans of Foreign Wars Braden River Post 12055, a veterans group that supports a regiment currently deployed in Afghanistan with needed personal items.
Ronney said she hopes to make the cook-off an annual event.
Entrance to the cook-off is free. Attendees are welcome to bring chairs, but no coolers are allowed. Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a short leash. Overflow parking will be available at the Lakewood Ranch Medical Center.

IntroductionGeneral Resources for Professionals
Resources on Specific Aspects of Care and Development
Please provide feedback on this knowledge path.
This knowledge path about caring for children and youth with special health care needs has been compiled by the MCH Library at Georgetown University. It offers a selection of current, high-quality resources that analyze data, describe effective programs, and report on policy and research aimed at developing systems of care that are family-centered, community-based, coordinated, and culturally competent. Separate sections present resources that address specific aspects of care and development, such as advocacy, financing services, rehabilitation, and transition. This knowledge path for health professionals, program administrators, policymakers, and researchers will be updated periodically. Separate briefs point to resources for families and schools.
For information on the prevalence of children and youth with special health care needs in the United States and in each state, the demographic characteristics of these children, the types of health and support services they and their families need, and their access to and satisfaction with the care they receive, see the introduction to the Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) publication, National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs Chartbook 2005–2006 (2008). The overview includes MCHB's widely accepted definition of children with special health care needs: "those who have or are at increased risk for a chronic physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional condition and who also require health and related services of a type or amount beyond that required by children generally."
See the following set of MCH Library resource briefs to identify additional data and statistics, literature and research, and programs about the care and development of children and youth with special health care needs.
Use these websites to identify resources about a wide range of health, wellness,and safety topics that are applicable to all children and youth, not just those with special health care needs.

The purpose of the proposed amendments is to update the Parity Regulations to reflect that certain authorities previously set forth therein are now covered by Chapter 454 of the Acts of 2008, which rewrote state-chartered credit unions' authorities relative to mortgage loans and non-mortgage/other types of consumer loans, loan participations and the purchase and sale of loans.

After March 12, 2010, only one hardcopy and a submission in an electronic media format (e.g., a compact disk or USB drive) will be accepted for purposes of filing an application.

Veteran right-hander Kevin Millwood will have a shot at making the Mariners' rotation this spring, according to Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik.
When Millwood was with the Indians he won the American League ERA title in 2005 at 2.86. Wedge was his boss then. We'll see if he can re-create some magic.
We'll see. I think the rotation is pretty crowded. But the guy does have a little pedigree doesn't he?
Millwood's deal comes with an invitation to spring training, and a $1 million salary if he makes the team, according to The Associated Press.
He can earn an additional $750,000 in performance bonuses.
Millwood, 37, has won 163 games in the majors, but just eight the past two years.
In 9 starts with the Rockies last year (after pitching in the minors for the Yankees and Red Sox), Millwood was 4-3 with a 3.98 earned-run average.

Dec. 27, 2011 — As I sat down to write my first opinion piece I was admittedly stumped on what to write about.
Today's political turmoil certainly would provide ample fodder for a tirade or two, but as I attended Chester High School's winter concert I found a near and dear subject with which to climb upon my soapbox.
Dec. 27, 2011 — Now that the most wonderful Christmas ever is over, it's time to turn my wrinkled brow and crooked gaze to the happily bustling soon to be New Year. Ah, 2012 just has to be the year to end all years, right?
If you're into numerology, 2012 is a 5 year (add up all the digits in any order you want, until you arrive at a single digit), but you'll have to do a little research to see how you're personal birth year number reacts with the universal year 5.
