This Southern Corporate Headquarters From The 1950s Is Actually A New Hospital In New York
SURE, hospitals are about modern medicine and technology, and you even want them to be sterile - but you don't want them to look sterile and technocratic. The civic building is cold to the public on the outside, and probably discomforting for the sick and injured inside. I came across it on a walk in the Lower East Side last week. For me, the most disappointing thing about the Bloomberg Administration is its ideological bias for Modernism like this. Part of the reason it's disappointing is that Mayor Bloomberg himself has more catholic taste.
After the jump, McKim, Mead & White's old Gouverneur Hospital, which faces the East River:

Tags: national parks, badlands, badlands national park
by – Jordan Allen, Tour Manager, North America
Badlands National Park is a vast and beautiful landscape of sedimentary rock, sand, and soil that has been eroded by wind and water. Native grasses grow in and around the formations with their brilliant colors that range from red, orange, and yellow to purple, brown, and white.
This uniquely contrasting landscape reminds you that you are in the scenic state of South Dakota. Interpretive walks at roadside stops throughout the park inform the visitor of the geology of the region, as well as highlight the abundant wildlife that have called the Badlands home for thousands of years.
As a Minnesotan I took a road trip across South Dakota, boring drive, there isn't really anything from Souix Falls to Wall. Just farm land and more farm land. The best part is counting the Wall Drug signs. I definatly recommend Stopping in Wall, and doing some shopping at Wall Drug.
Also That same day I saw the bad land. OMG!! They are so cool, and they come out of no where. You are driving and only seeing farms then BAM Bad Land. LOL! It was my favorite part of the trip and there are lots of look outs so you can take tons of great photos.

(13:1) "The king ... said unto his priests: Away with this fellow, and slay him ... for he is mad."
(13:2) "And they stood forth and attempted to lay their hands on him; but he withstood them, and said unto them:"
(13:3) "Touch me not, for God shall smite you if ye lay your hands upon me."
(13:4-28) So they are stuck listening to him, and so are we. He lists the 10 commandments and rambles on about all of the usual stuff: stiffnecked people, salvation, the coming of the Lord. etc. As he spoke the Spirit of the Lord was upon him and his face shown with exceeding luster, just like Moses's face did when he talked with God on Mount Sinai.
(13:4) "But I must fulfil the commandments wherewith God has commanded me; and because I have told you the truth ye are angry with me. And again, because I have spoken the word of God ye have judged me that I am mad."
(13:5) "The Spirit of the Lord was upon him; and his face shone with exceeding luster, even as Moses' did while in the mount of Sinai, while speaking with the Lord.
(13:5, 25) And it came to pass
(13:12) "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
(13:27) "Ye have said that salvation cometh by the law of Moses. I say unto you that it is expedient that ye should keep the law of Moses as yet; but I say unto you, that the time shall come when it shall no more be expedient to keep the law of Moses."
(13:28) "Salvation doth not come by the law alone; and were it not for the atonement, which God himself shall make for the sins and iniquities of his people, that they must unavoidably perish, notwithstanding the law of Moses."
(13:33) "Did not Moses prophesy unto them concerning the coming of the Messiah? ... Yea, and even all the prophets."
(13:34) "Have they not said that God himself should come down among the children of men, and take upon him the form of man?"

Hang tight!
Recipe by Jen
"This isn't your average burger. It's a burger made Baja-style! No grill? No worries! This burger is made in a skillet and is easy to make! My mom made this when we were young. It's a burger creation made with corn chips and spices served up on French bread."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 pounds ground beef
1 cup corn chips (such as Fritos®, crushed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
8 (6 inch) French bread rolls, split in half lengthwise
Awesome! I crumbled the Fritos as suggested, so it wasn't soggy. It was defitiley a different way to prepare a burger. Interesting blend of flavors.
I thought they were tasty! I crumbled my fritos so they didn't get soggy. Great taste and something different!
6 Ratings
Mistake in "Ingredients": So sorry, I accidentally wrote "browned ground beef" in the ingredients section. The patties are to be formed with "raw" ground beef and cornchips---not browned.
I added onions into the meat mixture. The texture was nice.. and I liked the flavor. I served this on homemade rolls.
My mom used to make this recipe when we were growing up also. I love it. I do alter it a little bit though. I add green olives and slowly simmmer the burgers with the tomato sauce. Delicious!

The many faces of asthma
The many potential triggers of asthma largely explain the different ways in
which asthma can present. In most cases, the disease starts in early Types: allergic (extrinsic) and nonallergic (intrinsic) asthma
Comment on this
Your doctor may refer to asthma as being "extrinsic" or "intrinsic." A better understanding of the nature of asthma can help explain the differences between them. Extrinsic, or allergic asthma, is more common (90% of all cases) and typically develops in childhood. Approximately 80% of children with asthma also have documented allergies. Typically, there is a family history of allergies. Additionally, other allergic conditions, such as nasal allergies or eczema, are often also present. Allergic asthma often goes into remission in early adulthood. However, in 75% of cases, the asthma reappears later. Intrinsic asthma represents about 10% of all cases. It usually develops after the age of 30 and is not typically associated with allergies. Women are more frequently involved and many cases seem to follow a respiratory tract infection. The condition can be difficult to treat and symptoms are often chronic and year-round. Patient CommentsViewers share their comments

text: Yeah, what an ordeal. Ended up being snowed in over there in New Jersey. Spent 24 hours in the airport. Long LONG story. NJ was great though, got to spend time with family. Heck, even got to meet a Got | Apex? enthusiast while I was there. THE Got | Apex? enthusiast, according to his coworker. Anyhow, I`m very glad to be back and working again. Again, my email is stuffed full (what a surprise, eh?). I do appreciate all the deals though. =)

SR5 Tactical
IED Detection and Ordnance Disposal Script
by Reezo
Mar 22th, 2011 - my 30th birthday!
Visit us at: www.sr5tactical.net
This script suite allows a unit or vehicle to detect IEDs, explosive ordnance and bombs, allowing disposal functions such as manual defuse, remotely controlled detonations etc. It also features various scripts (original and adapted from other scripts in the community) to create triggermen, suicide bombers, IEDs etc.
- Enhance the EOD department
- Specialize Engineer roles
- Increase the fun in Ordnance Disposal
- Cover an important, realistic and very actual element of modern warfare: improvised explosive devices, car bombs and other guerrilla techniques that vastly affected all modern Middle East war theaters like Afghanistan and Iraq
- Custom images and sounds
- Fully modular for easy installation
- Clean and carefully polished code
- Works with virtually any mod
- Works in SP and MP environments
- Strives to work with all the best and most popular IED scripts available in the ArmA community
- Detector unit receives IED approximated position in the map
- IED position marker relocate dynamically when IED moves (e.g. moving car-bombs)
- Detection range is affected by speed: units and vehicles should move slowly to allow maximum detection range
- Remotely controlled detonation via electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
- Fake IED detections with subsequent "clear" notification when anomaly verifications are found non-consistent
- Manual defuse
- Make any objects a detectable bomb or attach a bomb to it
- Detach and defuse attached detected devices
- Accidentally arm the bomb when manual defuse goes wrong
- Decide whether detectable bombs beep regularly, remain silent or let the script decide, randomly
- Armed bombs start beeping increasingly faster until they explode
- Turn any unit into a triggerman, even unsuspected civilians
- Triggermen can be suicide bombers or have the bomb attached to any object from a specific class (e.g. trashcans, cars, etc.)
- Works with ALICE and SILVIE modules: you can spawn a triggerman from civilians in determined areas, just by using a trigger
- Triggermen will behave as instructed by the AI, the module or the mission maker, until the time is right for them to touch the bomb off
- Triggermen freeze and fear enemy soldiers aiming their weapon on them: having a triggerman or a suspect under your crosshair will decrease the chances of a detonation, allowing maneuvering and refusal, if necessary.
- Triggermen who successfully detonate their bomb or find it defused might surrender, flee or engage into a firefight by drawing a hidden weapon
- Killing a triggerman is considered legit for the ROE only when he reveals his offensive action: shooting civilians to prevent suicide bombers is not right
- Killing a triggerman leaves his bomb intact, meaning it might still go off if damaged and must be considered dangerous (can be detected and defused normally)
- Realistic behavior creates the right amount of pressure and simulation for the virtual environment
- None, this script suite works with any installation of ArmA 2, OA and CO
- It is pretty much 99% update-safe, meaning there is practically no official update that can break the script suite
How to set it up:
1) Copy the following folder into your mission folder:
> scripts\IEDdetect
2) Open the description.sqf and add the #include lines to your description.ext
3) Open the init.sqf and add that line to your init.sqf
4a) In the editor, to turn a unit or vehicle into a detector, put this in its init field:
4b) In the editor, to make an object detectable by a detector unit, put this in the object init field:Spoiler:
4c) In the editor, to attach a detectable IED/bomb to an object, put this in the object init field:Spoiler:
4d) In the editor, to turn an object into a proximity IED, put this in the object init field:Spoiler:
4e) In the editor, to make an AI unit a triggerman (see below for an explanation), put this in the unit init field:Spoiler:
What is a triggerman? A triggerman is a unit that can trigger a bomb remotely (using a cell phone or similar tools).
With this script a triggerman will start to "fear" enemy units (e.g. BLUFOR soldiers) when they get into a determined radius (50, in the example above). The triggerman's fear will build up if an enemy soldier keeps the triggerman targeted in his crosshairs. Keeping a triggerman under your crosshair will give you a good chance to prevent him from touching the bomb off. If you take the crosshairs away from him he will start to take adavantage of the situation (depending on how much he had been kept under guard). Once the triggerman feels safe about it and if he notices potential victims around the bomb area (determined by a radius of "30" in the example above) he will trigger the bomb.
When a triggerman triggers a bomb he goes into a "surrendering" position and shouts: "Allahu Akbar!!". This gives anyone roughly around 1 second to shoot the motherf*cker down. If he dies before the touching the bomb off, the bomb will NOT explode but it will be still considered a potential threat and will require appropriate disposal from an engineer.
NOTE: if you want to make suicide bombers, just put "this" in both fields, so that the unit is both the triggerman and the bomb. e.g. nul0 = [this,this,0,30,30,WEST] execVM "scripts\IEDdetect\IEDdetect_triggerman.sqf";
4f) You can also create a trigger and let a script randomly decide to pick up a unit of a certain type and turn into a triggerman. To do so, create a trigger on, let's say, a town. Make it as large as you want to cover the entire town or just parts of it. Choose the side to activate it, let's say, BLUFOR, and make it PRESENT.
In the "On activation" field, type:Spoiler:
4g) You can also use what I called the "Ambient Bombers" script. To do so, write this in your init.sqf file:Spoiler:
4h) You can also use the "Ambient Proximity IEDs", which will randomly create Proximity-triggered IEDs on or next-to roads in the area surrounding the player. To do so, write this in your init.sqf file:Spoiler:This script works by attaching itself to group leaders of the enemy faction ONLY (WEST in the example). This means it will work as a sort of Ambient Combat Module (ACM), following group leaders and "making things happen around them". The script checks for civilian presence in a pre-determined "ambient radius" (200m in the example) around the player. If a minimum number of civilians (4 in the example) is found, it will try the % of presence (50 in the example) for a triggerman to be among them. If positive, it will turn one of the civilians into a triggerman and decide whether it is a suicide bomber or a remote-detonator. In case it is the latter, it will scan for a specific object class ("car" in the example) in a pre-determined radius from the triggerman (55 in the example) and attach a bomb to it. After that the triggerman will behave just like illustrated in the previous paragraph. The script pauses itself for the interval specified by the user (10 in the example) if the player stays around the same area or around the same triggerman. The script attaches itself to new leaders in case a group leader changes. This script works well with ALICE-created and user-created civilians. It also moves with the player so it is very easy to use and is totally automated.
Ambient Proxymity IEDs are removed automatically if the player moves too far from the IED area (this saves resources and avoids the "seeding" of an ever-increasing number of IEDs).
4i) You can also scatter proximity IEDs around a specific area. This can be useful for one-time creation of random proximity IEDs without having to use the Ambient IEDs feature. To do so, write this in your init.sqf file, into a trigger or wherever you find it suitable to your needs:
Procedures and functions:
Multiplayer compatibility:
- Tested and working. I try my best to continue improving it so further tweaking/optimizations/bug fixes are possible
Known bugs:
- There is a chance Fake IED detection does not work. If you encounter problems, change the percentage to 00 and it will be disabled.
Future features:
- Detector tool as an actual object you can pick up and put in your inventory
Version history:
- ADDED: EOD units now respawn with full detection capabilities
- ADDED: Proximity IED Scatter Script
- FIXED: Detection not working when EOD units get in a detector Vehicle
- FIXED: Beeping IEDs not working in MP
- IMPROVED: Cross-script global arrays handling
- CHANGED: Nomad dialog images slightly reduced and moved back to the bottom-right of the screen
Demonized - global array functionality, better marker generation
VIPER[CWW], Nielsen, Kremator, SpectreRSG - bug reports and feedback
VanhA-ICON - attach/detach IEDs idea
VIPER[CWW] - 'Allah Akbar' sound sample

I don't want to say this is a masterpiece, but I know for sure I have put a lot of time and efforts in this scripts suite. If you want to make changes I would please ask you to contact me for my permission. I would also love to have more people work on this same thing rather than having 20 people working on the same thing with different names. I am open to critics and teamwork, we can make an entire EOD mod if you want, I will try my best to make my skills match my enthusiasm.
Nothing I can really "claim" or track you down with..so please don't just be an assh*le and if you do any change to this script or implement it in your missions or scenarios..please add some kind of credit line to this work. It would be kind
How to pay me back:

We love us some Coen Brothers, but after their last three movies—"Intolerable Cruelty, "The Ladykillers" and "The Man Who Wasn't There,"—even we were starting to wonder when the idiosyncratic directors would return to form. Brutal, truthful and unrelenting for its full running time, "No Country for Old Men," is that return to form, in a big way.

The first 10 or so minutes of the ambitious, ultimately unsatisfying "There Will be Blood," are wordless, and brilliant. A man (Daniel Day Lewis), standing alone at the bottom of a dark, vertical mine shaft carved out of the ground, painstakingly chisels away at the walls in search of precious metals. He climbs out, falls and injures himself, and with astonishing singlemindedness, clambers out and crawls away, then repeats that kind of backbreaking work as one of many workers at an oil shaft. That opening sequence is pretty much all you
During the first 10 minutes of Juno, Juno MacGuff (Ellen Page) looks like she's doing an impression of Napoleon Dynamite, the nerdy hero of Jared Hess's 2004 cult-comedy hit starring John Heder. Both Juno and Napoleon are socially inept, small-town misfits whose lingua franca has spawned imitators all around the world. Like the infamous Napoleon, Juno is an off-beat character who speaks in her own dialect, avoids the "in-crowd" and even has her own sidekick (no, not Pedro) a peer named Leah (charming newcomer Olivia Thirlby).

From finding a good place to eat in the airport to finding a hotel room when your flight is delayed, Jim Greer from AT&T explains how to use travel apps to make vacations a little easier.
You're in a new city you know nothing about and you don't know what to do next. Yelp can help with anything. Restaurants -- read reviews of the highest rated. Coffee shops -- which ones have Wi-Fi. Hotels -- which ones have never housed a serial killer. Car is spewing brake fluid -- which mechanics won't rip you off.
Yes, GateGuru can tell you where to find the restrooms in Terminal 2 at O'Hare and where to find truly good clam chowder at Sea-Tac, but what makes this app special is its ability to help travelers find the shortest way through security. "During the summer you could be an hour or more going through security," says Daniel Gellert, co-founder and president of New York-based Mobility Apps, which launched free app GateGuru. The app relies on 400,000 users to provide real-time information for 125 airports -- 30 of which are overseas. The app provides maps of airports, lists retailers and restaurants, and allows other users to post reviews and photographs.
Speaking of stranded, this app could save you from spending the night on the airport floor should a summer storm ground your flight. It works equally as well for those on a road trip or travelers inclined to book getaways at the (very) last minute.
One important note about HotelTonight is that it's good for same-day hotel bookings only, and you can't book until noon. But the savings are serious.

The full medical name for this finding is "medullary sponge kidney." The term was coined because the cysts that form in the middle of one or both kidneys make the kidney look like a sponge. The good news is that most people with medullary sponge kidneys have no symptoms and their kidneys remain fully functional throughout life.
The three problems associated with medullary sponge kidney are:
Typically, this condition is found in people between the ages of 20 to 40. Men and women are affected equally. But women have more problems with kidney stones and urinary tract infections than men.
Sponge kidneys may sometimes have a genetic basis. So they can happen in other family members.

The Booker T. Washington football team's championship hopes were collapsing fast.
And then Nigel Patten found himself at ground zero of the Tornadoes' disastrous night.
Patten muffed a kickoff near his own goal line and as he struggled to get the ball back watched a Jacksonville Bolles player take the ball away and with it Booker T.'s state championship hopes a year ago in the Citrus Bowl.
The miscue was a turning point, but not the only error that contributed to a 33-25 state championship defeat in the 2011 Class 4A state final.
That didn't make it any less painful for Patten.
"It was real tough at school that Monday after," Patten said. "A lot of people had things to say to me. They felt like I cost them the game and the championship. My coaches were there for me, and told me not to blame myself, but it still took a long time to get over it."
The Tornadoes get a second chance Saturday night at the Citrus Bowl when they face Jacksonville Bolles again in the Class 4A final at 7 p.m.
And no Booker T. player is more anxious to get on the field than Patten.
Patten, a 5-9, 175-pound junior cornerback, has been one of the key defensive players that has helped Booker T. (12-1) earn a trip back to Orlando as a shut down player against most top receivers in the state.
Patten, who already has been offered a scholarship by Florida State, has 22 solo tackles this season and helped the Tornadoes allow only 13 points in the playoffs. Patten also has drawn interest from Miami, Mississippi, Connecticut, Purdue and West Virginia.
"I'm ready to do what I got to do and show everyone I'm not the same player I was then," Patten said. "I've matured a lot and I'm ready to show it."
The road to potential redemption wasn't easy for Patten, who grew up playing in Overtown with several of his current teammates.
"From my standpoint, his mistake didn't define that game," Booker T. Washington coach Tim "Ice" Harris said. "But we understand what a kid in that situation can go through and what other kids and people will tell him. As coaches, we're trying to make sure kids understand that you have to go through trials and tribulations in sports, but you have to be prepared to face it and work hard.
"He was still crying and apologizing the day after the game, but I told him you have to move on and the second you can move on, you'll see what a stronger person you are."
Harris said the whole experience humbled Patten, whom he said had a tendency to brag after making big plays. That got him in trouble earlier this season when he was ejected following an on-field scuffle with a player from Orlando Jones.
The team suspended Patten for one game, but avoided additional punishment from the Florida High School Athletic Association when the school won an appeal after submitting video evidence of the altercation.
"The video we sent to the state showed that Patten didn't do anything that deserved a long suspension," Harris said. "Nigel's a great kid and a hard worker, but when he realized how he can get in trouble and lose a chance to play football it when something like that happens, it really taught him a lesson. It's really helped him develop in terms of his work ethic and it's shown in his play this year."

ApacheBench GnuPlot Graphing Benchmarks
In this post I am going to be showing you how you can get set up creating http benchmark graphs using Gnuplot and ApacheBench. The ApacheBench or ab executable is packaged with Apache's httpd, however it can be installed stand-alone as well from Google Code.
The Application
First things first, below we have an insanely simple NodeJS application, that will respond with the string Hello World, nothing fancy.
var sys = require('sys'),
http = require('http');
var body = 'Hello World'
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Type': 'text/plain',
'Content-Length': body.length
response.end(body, 'ascii');
sys.puts('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/')
There are several ways to customize ApacheBench, however for this post we are going to keep things simple and simply hit the server with 8000 requests, with a concurrency of 100:
$ ab -n 8000 -c 100 http://127.0.0.1:8000/
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 655654 $>

98% 23
99% 25
100% 30 (longest request)
Benchmarks like these are not overly practical but can provide insight to how well a server can respond when being hit with the same request. The results above will certainly vary depending on your system, the resources available, etc.
Now although the report generated is helpful, we need to output the data in a parse-able format. To do this we use the -g
Run your benchmarks again to generate out.dat (note the filename is not important, out.txt etc is fine):
$ ab -n 8000 -c 100 -g out.dat http://127.0.0.1:8000/
We can now either generate graphs using gnuplot's shell, or we can create a script that we can re-use to generate the graph. When playing around with customizing the graph, I would recommend using the shell which can be started by invoking gnuplot with no args:
$ gnuplot
gnuplot> set title "My Benchmark"
gnuplot> plot "out.dat" using 9
Or as I mentioned we can use a plot script which can be re-used easily. Mine typically looks something like the annotated version below (saved as plot.p):
# output as png image
set terminal png
# save file to "out.png"
set output "out.png"
# graph title
set title "ab -n 8000 -c 100"
# nicer aspect ratio for image size
set size 1,0.7
# y-axis grid
set grid y
# x-axis label
set xlabel "request"
# y-axis label
set ylabel "response time (ms)"
# plot data from "out.dat" using column 9 with smooth sbezier lines
# and title of "nodejs" for the given data
plot "out.dat" using 9 smooth sbezier with lines title "nodejs"
And generate the graph with:
$ gnuplot plot.p
Graphing Several Data Sets
Plotting several data-sets is helpful when comparing various servers etc, so lets change up our nodejs server a bit. Below we wrap the response with a 0-1000 millisecond setTimeout() to vary the results.
var sys = require('sys'),
http = require('http');
var body = 'Hello World'
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
response.writeHead(200, { 'Content-Type': 'text/plain', 'Content-Length': body.length });
response.end(body, 'ascii');
}, Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000))
sys.puts('Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/')
Now execute the same ab command, however change out.dat to out2.dat, and add a line to plot.p which tells gnuplot to use "out2.dat" for the second set of data.
plot "out.dat" using 9 smooth sbezier with lines title "nodejs", \
"out2.dat" using 9 smooth sbezier with lines title "nodejs random timeout"
Now run the gnuplot command again to generate the png image:
So far our data has been pretty static, however a bash script can easily be used to generate the plot script dynamically. A simple example of this can be seen in the Express benchmarks used to generate graphs against node, express, thin, etc.
Hope that helps some of you guys!

NEWARK, N.J.—A former Army employee has pleaded guilty to pocketing nearly $4 million in kickbacks.
John Alfy Salama Markus worked for the Army Corps of Engineers in Iraq.
Authorities said Salama Markus took bribes from two men who worked with companies seeking U.S. contracts in Iraq. In exchange, Salama Markus provided them with confidential bid and pricing information.
The companies were awarded more than $50 million in contracts.
Authorities said Salama Markus transferred the money from foreign banks to accounts in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Officials said he built a $1.1 million house in Pennsylvania with the money.
Salama Markus pleaded guilty to wire fraud, money laundering and failing to file a U.S. Treasury report. He faces up to 35 years in prison and will be sentenced Jan. 8.

Some people like Picasso's paintings, some don't. You can't say you like or hate them unless you see them.
I don't know why this would necessarily be true. Forgetting the fact that people managed to raid before 5.2 without doing dailies, it's much, much better now with the improved drops in 5.0 LFR raids and the rest. The catch-up mechanisms in place would make it all the easier to avoid all of that and get up to current without doing a ton of dailies.
While I won't argue that lots of people found the subject of dailies a ripe target for complaining, bringing it up now--today--is sort of last year. Especially with regard to what the OP is asking about.
- Don't derail threads. Know what the thread is about and address it with your post.
- Civility is a virtue. Insulting people won't impress anyone. Be smart when you have a different opinion.
"It is the folly of too many to mistake the echo of a London coffee house for the voice of the kingdom" - Jonathan Swift
"Forum drama exists because too many people enjoy creating it." - ML/2013
Yep. It's worth coming back and leveling thru the MOP zones. Worth every penny. But
only pay for a month to month sub. End game kind of blows and you might want to reassess. Can't speak
for 5.2 so it might be better. idk

Operation Red Wing
Don't listen to anyone on here, you alone are the judge of your experience. We all have such different view points on the game and what we like and dislike it is impossible for us to actually determine your experience. That said, not trying to be hypocritical but just give it a shot, if you could endure the beginning of Cata than believe me MoP is a step away from that and into a better direction.
if you want to pve, i guess
i don't think you're really missing anything otherwise
I left around the same time OP did, I haven't regretted it, and haven't even come close to the desire to play again. I check in on my old guilds website to see their progress. And they are doing ok, not great, and definitely looks like they've stopped altogether from 25man raiding down to 10man only. Continues to give me the feeling and it seems to be a general consensus around that overall the game is bleeding customers as opposed to gaining them. I also get the feeling that the NA/EU base is the one losing the most customers too and as thus these servers are hurting the worst.

Nelson Manor receives perfect inspection score
Inspections, every assisted living facility receives them, but Nelson Manor went above and beyond for their inspection. They received a perfect score.
"They (inspections) are unannounced," owner and administrator Gena Franklin said. "Everybody has them annually, but you don't know when they are going to be here. Once your year is up, they can come anytime. The goal is to be (a) surprise visit. So you don't know when they are coming in. We don't pay them to come in."
The process starts off with an unannounced visit. Franklin said the visits could be a few days or weeks.

Inshore/nearshore report Jacksonville area waters
The water has warmed to 70-72 degrees now and fishing has picked up.All we need is for the wind to give us a break. Lots of jacks have moved in so the blues,which are still here, finally have some competition for your expensive baits. Large ladyfish and spanish mackerel are fairly common catches, too. I'm catching smaller spanish trolling and the larger ones on live bait when targeting other species such as trout. All these fish are great fly rod fish.
Speaking of trout, I've heard of an 11 and 10 pounder being caught recently, on lures and bait, respectively, They are hitting topwater and diving lures, as well as the always reliable live shrimp. Two to four pounders are common using the sliding float rig. If you catch a big one,which is most certainly a female, consider releasing it after a photo as your contribution to future fishing generations.
Redfish are around, though with all the tournaments and every day fishing pressure we have here in northeast Florida, it is sometimes difficult to find any. With the right bait you can usually hook a few at the jetty tips, weather permitting. Black drum are an occasional catch also, along with pompano and flounder. Keep your eyes open for triple tails, also. You just might stumble on to one hovering next to some floating object such as a crab trap float, etc.
May is migration time for the big rays and their escorts, the cobia. Recent reports have them south of Matansas, however, several days of south winds may have pushed them further north into our area. Its always wise to have a heavy spinning rig ready to cast a bait or lure to any sighted cobia. Try not to hook the ray!
Pogies were abundant last week between St Augustine and Mayport. Hopefully, they will hang around for awhile as they are the "engine" that fuels much of our nearshore fishing.
Good fishing!

About the Artist
Irene Abdou
I come from the world of humanitarian aid and international development, first getting my start in as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Niger, West Africa, where I lived in a mud hut with a straw roof in a tiny village of 40 people.and later in a small town of 10,000. Without running water or electricity, I cooked on a portable burner hooked up to a small cannister of gas. I perfected my French language skills and picked up Fulfulde and Djerma. After 3 1/2 years in Niger, I returned to the Washington, DC area, and over the next ten years, I worked for several non-governmental organizations, large and small, including the American Red Cross, Population Services International, and Counterpart International, managing food security and public health...

Are you looking for the golden book to help you achieve your New Years resolutions? For a healthy 2013, here is one option: Ali Zentners The Weight-Loss Prescription promises to continuously entertained you while learning more about yourself.
In her words, this unconventional book will teach you more about yourself and your eating personality. She tells patients, This disease isnt your fault but it is your responsibility.
Zentner, a Vancouver physician who specializes in cardiac risk management and obesity, tells the stories of people who have overcome incredible odds to reach their goals and, in some cases, even saved their own lives. Zentner shed 175 pounds and counselled small-town Canadians on the CBC reality TV show, Village on a Diet, and in her book profiles many success stories, including her own struggle and eventual breakthrough.
I had the great opportunity to coach Zentner for the Honolulu Marathon, and was able to catch her in the middle of her book tour to talk about The Weight Loss Prescription. She will be signing books from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 19 at the Chapters at Granville and West Broadway.
Q. How is this book different from other diet books?
Ali Zentner: The Weight-Loss Prescription is for anyone who wants to live healthy, providing an alternative to the standard diet book. It addresses better health in all aspects of life, not just weight loss. The book reads like a bit of a story where you are entertained while you learn. It invites you to share in other peoples stories, while you are writing your own. I believe every reader will be able to relate to them and if not, hopefully it will teach them empathy.
Q. How can people achieve their New Years resolutions?
AZ: Having a goal is the best motivator. But your goals must be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-sensitive.
Q: How can people can stay motivated?
AZ: I would have to narrow it down to four pieces of advice.
One: Although it is necessary to have a goal, focus on the process and not so much the results. It took me five months to train for the New York Marathon, which never even happened. You have to enjoy the process.
Two: Learn forgiveness, which might be the subject for my next book. Learning to forgive yourself will help when you fall off track. Humans learn by making mistakes, so allow yourself to have those mistakes. It is fine to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and by forgiving yourself you can quickly get back on track.
Three: I like to embrace the suck which means to embrace things you are not good at. If you can embrace things that suck, then you are one step closer to getting better at them and maybe even enjoying them. Moving towards your goal may suck at times, so learn to embrace it and continue to push forward.
Four: Lastly, I have to say that attitude is everything.
Q: What is your motivation?
AZ: My patients motivate me every day because they are the bravest people I have ever met. I also believe it is important to teach by example. How can I be telling someone to go for a walk if I dont do it myself?
Q: What are your goals for 2013?
AZ: I plan on racing the Subaru Vancouver Half Iron (1900-metre swim, 90 km bike, 20 km run) on July 14. After that, I need to go back to New York as I have unfinished business with the New York Marathon.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"This card came out exactly as I ordered it. The only thing I would have changed if I could have is the line where it says where they are registered. My bride and groom are not registered anywhere and I would liked to have it say "for gift ideas, check our website". Other than that, I am totally pleased with my purchase and the time it took for printing and delivery."
"I got the quality I wanted, the design was gorgeous and beach elegant, arrived very quickly. The envelope is great, done perfectly to hold the card in place with regular postage. One of the best online services I have used, thanks!"
"As much as I loved the original design colors - I was able to customize the invitations using the brides colors. It added such a personal touch to the invitation. The on-line ordering was easy to use and it allowed me to easily change the text to the way that I needed it to read. Service was wonderful. Customer service over the phone was outstanding. I had read reviews about the envelopes being too big, but they are glued in a way that perfectly fits the invitation so that it does not move around. I look forward to using Wedding Paper Divas again in the future and will definitely recommend to my friends and family."
"Ordered this design for a bridal shower I'm hosting. Really like the fact that you had the option on many of the designs to do a customer color. The wedding colors are navy blue and I had the background customized in that color. You aren't able to see the custom colors until you place the order but they provide a proof before finalizing for approval and at that time changes can be made. Delivery was really fast."
"Ordered these invitations to use for my post-wedding brunch. I had a really hard time finding designs that would work for a brunch and this was one of the few that would allow me to put in the information that I wanted without having to follow a very specific template. They arrived super fast and the quality is excellent. So bright and cheery...everyone loves them! Especially convenient that they come with oversized envelopes to keep the stamp cost down. Yeay!"
