This group is open to everyone who likes any kind of aircraft
Bohemia Interactive, the award-winning independent Czech development studio, is pleased to announce the development of ARMA 3.
Posted by Dwarden on May 19th, 2011
Prague, Czech Republic 19th May - Bohemia Interactive, the award-winning independent Czech development studio, is pleased to announce the development of Arma 3, the brand new installment in its series of critically acclaimed realistic military simulators.
Combining over 10 years of experience, building upon the strength of its predecessors, and set in the most detailed environment of the series to date, Arma 3 offers gamers radical engine improvements and a unique sandbox-style military gameplay experience.
The next chapter of this stunning military simulation game is scheduled for release exclusively for PC in Summer 2012.
After years of intense warfare against Eastern armies, Europe has become the last stand for the battered NATO forces. On the verge of being driven into the sea, NATO command embarks upon a most desperate measure. In the hope of seizing what seems to be a well-guarded military secret, Operation Magnitude is launched. A small group of Special Forces and Researchers are sent to a Mediterranean island deep behind enemy lines. However, the mission is compromised and the task force destroyed, leaving Cpt. Scott Miller washed ashore upon the hostile island. In his effort to carry out the mission, he will face the dangers of modern warfare, an unforgiving environment, and the consequences of his own decisions...
Some of the key features of Arma 3 include:
Bohemia Interactive´s CEO, Marek Spanel, explains: ''We're happy to bring the next generation of the Real Virtuality engine to life. The increased potential of the engine should allow Arma 3 to become our best-looking, most detailed and innovative military simulation game to date.''
Ivan Buchta, Creative Director of Arma 3, adds: ''Our ambition is not only to deliver the next generation of Arma with the improved engine, but also to fully exploit the potential of our new
technology in the gameplay. You can look forward to the unique experience of blending sandbox-style combat with a rich story.''
Arma 3 will be featured in private presentations at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) June 7th-9th. Bohemia Interactive will be located in the South Hall in booth #2803.
Will it have a different engine? Arma II's optimization makes my computer cry.
Did you try Operation Arrowhead? It was like a whole WORLD of difference, so I'm sure they've made even more improvements!
compare the vegetation. how many forests do you see on takistan?
ofcourse there are :) or You don't see the trees and bushes and else in valleys?
Im raising cash for a new gming PC for this and BF3
maybe they will optimise the engine a bit, make it actually run above 20fps.
"maybe I will upgrade my computer a bit, make it actually run above 20fps."-fixed
But ARMA 2 had quite good post release support.
Why exactly was this voted down? Bohemia has a history of supporting their products long after release and I don't see how that is a bad thing. I understand that poor optimization and bugs in the first place are bad, but atleast they clean up afterwards.
Today is a historical day... The day Arma 3 was announced... In 1 year... we will be playing this piece of epicness... I CANT WAIT 1 YEAR
Its using the same engine as OA guys. If you never played OA you cannot judge. Arma 2 out of the box is a steaming pile alone. But with OA it is a victorious golden statue in a field of dull simulators, it was GREAT. Not to mention the mod support. Benny's Warfare, Zombie Apocalypse... so much fun.
Expect optimization out the wazoo, new content, sandbox moding and the same old fun with three times the polish as original Arma 2.
Or not. There's an off chance it might all go to hell like the flashpoint series did ,but lets HOPE it doesn't. :)
In my mind the Flashpoint series goes OpFlash:Cold war crisis, ARMA, ARMA 2, ARMA 3
flash point is still good, the new one is awsome
I didn't notice much of a difference between ArmA2 and Arma2: OA... ?
Even though I will end up buying this, I really wish they'd move onto a new engine.
CZ Je paráda, že děláte další díl. Právě dnes jsem si říkal, že by bylo prima, kdyby se začala dělat arIIIma. V jakém prostředí se bude odehrávat?
EN It's great. Today i tought: I hope that arIIIma will be soon. In which evironment will it be?
CZ: Naprosto souhlasím, ale jak už tady někdo říkal, doufám že ten dabing bude lepší. Mimochodem dobrá práce kluci v BI a držím palce.
EN: Totally agree, but like someone said here before, hope that voice cast will be better. BTW good job guys at BI and good luck.
Very excited by the news. This is a day 1 purchase for me.
Lame now I gotta fork out more monies :D
"Design & create countless customizable scenarios using the intuitive & easy-to-use mission editor."
Please tell me you actually updated the editor then. I've been using it since Flashpoint, and the amount of scripting it can involve even for simple things like prop placement is ridiculous.
Lol, seems some diehard fanboy downvoted me because they think having to type 'this setPos [getPos this select 0, getPos this select 1, 2.5]' just to set the height of a static unit (like trying to mount a machinegun onto a bunker using 2d icons that rarely match up to the mesh) is somehow easy and intuitive to use.
I love ArmA, but nothing about the game was ever easy (be it the gameplay, the editor, or even the content creation compared to newer engines). The core is the same since the OF1985 days, and unless you're wearing blinders, it shows.
I totally agree, that sort of crap has made modding a total pain.
well i hope they make aiming easiyer in ArmA III because i barely kill any one in this game (in arma 2)!!
I hope they improve the gameplay. because arma 2 Infantry gameplay is ****.
I am hoping to see more destruction in Arma 3 and better AI.
Sweeeet, but please. Better voice acting, I cringed everytime anyone spoke in ARMA 2.
Wow, I didn't know such an amount of people where playing ARMA 2 here :P
But yeah, yay ARMA 3 :D
Hmm, not very excited about this one!
I might consider buying it if it finally has some decent first person animations,
at least realistic vehicle sounds and better voice acting,
half of the bugs without updating the game constantly so I could at even play some time
and finally NO 3RD PERSON VIEW! WTF!
Destructible Enviroment and changing my keysettings without a "master in crappy user interface" would also be sweet, but that´s another story and since I have lost my trust in Bohemia Interactive to deliver a real improvement over OFP...
I guess I better hope for Red Orchestra HoS instead!
Yeah I know, that was my point! I don´t want 3rd person view in a game that´s about realism! That´s not even close to realism! 3rd Person view is a reason not to buy ARMA III!
The environment was destructible.. if you blew up the buildings they'd fall to bits, if you ran over a tree the tree would fall over, the only cases where there wasn't spectacular damage were for things like artillery and explosives but that could be fixed easily using the same method they used for the aircraft craters.
Ok, my bad, I´ve never seen any destruction in ARMA (II) in action so I forgot there was such a thing!
ZOMG! Arma editor ftw!
Hopefully this one will be delivered less buggy, better voice, and controls(not a biggie as it can be mapped to virtually anything).

Do You Have Rhythm?
Thu, 08/30/2012 - 10:51am | Kelly Raub, MA,...
Did you know that having rhythm means more than singing well, dancing beautifully or being able to hit a homerun or catch a touchdown pass? For many people, having rhythm means being able to remember simple things, follow along with a television program or read their favorite novel. Having rhythm can also mean being able to communicate through speech, understand a road sign or written instructions, walk without falling or pick up small objects without dropping them. For people with neurological conditions, these seemingly simple tasks can be unbearably difficult, endlessly frustrating and, in some cases, keep them from being independent or living at home. Fortunately, new technology permits us to go beyond the traditional therapy exercises and strategies to allow for a more focused approach to treatment. One such exciting form of technology now available at Good Shepherd is Interactive Metronome® (IM). What Is Interactive Metronome? Interactive Metronome is an interactive computer-assistive assessment and training program adopted as part of Good Shepherd's Neurorehabilitation Program. Specially certified therapists are trained to utilize this treatment tool to improve the brain's natural timing, more specifically, millisecond timing. Millisecond timing is important for performing everyday activities such as:
All of these tasks require the brain to perform a precise series of mental and/or physical sequences in response to the environment. When a neurological event or condition occurs, this timing can be interrupted, changing the way that the brain perceives information and responds to it. Such neurological conditions include but are not limited to:
How Is Interactive Metronome Used? During a therapy session, the therapist will use a computer program coupled with special sensors placed on the patient's hands and/or feet. These sensors communicate with the computer program, which in turn assesses the brain's natural timing and coordination in response to a rhythmic beat. The therapist then uses this information, the patient's history, goals and functional deficits to develop a custom training program that consists of six phases that increase in complexity as performance improves. Our main goal at Good Shepherd is to promote functional independence and exceed patient and family expectations. If you feel that you or your family member could benefit from this exciting new therapy tool, please contact Good Shepherd Neurorehabilitation at 610-776-3247, option 2. |

Also the fishing in the pond was lovely and had some very nice walks in the evenings. The eggs were really lovely. Thank you! The Pollingtons, August/September 2012
Thank you both for letting us use your lovely gite and amenities. The girls enjoyed the games room and we all enjoyed the pool. We have been lucky with some very warm sunny weather and have visited some lovely places. The Refuge de l'Arche in Château Gontier is worth visiting as well as the market and 'Au Bout de la Rue' in Laval is a good place to eat. Mike, Marcia, Richard, Karen, Aimée & Sophie, August 2012
Thank you Len & Annabelle for a wonderful three weeks what a great base from which to explore the region. Highlights included visiting Angers and the scenery on the Mayenne at Château Gontier was a real surprise. Fantastic pool! The Morris family, July/August 2012
We have had a lovely holiday here. The pool is beautiful and has been very popular as was the tennis court and games room. We enjoyed peaceful walks around the fields and surrounding lanes. The gite has been very comfortable too! Thank you very much. The Waudby-West family, July 2012
A good base for our trip to Le Mans Classic! Exactly suited our purpose and had the weather been better we would have been swimming! David, Chris & Tim, July 2012
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here it has been as relaxing as it can be with two small children! The gite has everything we needed. The pool and grounds are wonderful!

Lovely gite and surroundings! Children enjoyed all the space and playing in the games room. Many thanks. The Hambleton family, April 2012
Really good stay, a relaxing week with plenty of interesting places to visit. Len & Annabelle were most welcoming and very helpful during a mini crisis.

Maybe I'm in a retro mood after watching '(500) Days of Summer' this weekend, but I'm really loving Wundervoll, a cleverly crafted lingerie line with hints of art deco and a little bit of 'Mad Men'. The German brand, designed by Matthias Jaschke, recently launched in the US and should have a whole new crowd of followers soon.
This week, Jaschke tells The Fash Pack about his emphasis on quality and confidence, and when Carla Bruni can be helpful.

When Rae asked me to talk a bit about sewing with knits, I thought it was odd, because I'm rather crap at sewing with knits. But then I looked back in my archives for pictures of things I've sewn and hey! it's not that bad. My first experience with sewing with knits was pretty horrible. Now it looks like I remember that failure more than any of the successful knit projects I've made, which is ridiculous. With that realization, I cut out a huge pile of knit fabric for this awesome undies pattern:
I didn't finish them all, because my daughter is a little between sizes so I have to adjust the fit, but oof! the boy undies are pretty damn cute. The pattern is very clear and nicely laid out with plenty of pictures. I noticed she's not selling it at the moment and I'm not sure why, because it's a very popular pattern. It's popular for a reason: you only need a little bit of fabric, old t-shirts are perfect, and if you screw up who's going to see them anyway?
I wouldn't say this is a beginner, beginner project, but if you've sewn with knits a few times then these shouldn't be a problem. They come together quickly, but the waistband and leg holes take a bit of time. And people will look at you funny when (or rather if) you tell them you're making your children's underwear.
But come on, lighting bolt undies?! What little boy wouldn't be excited about that?
Want to see all the kniterviews? Look here! and mine is here.

Just for a change of pace, I read Zane Grey's Riders of the Purple Sage, said to be the first of the western novels. There was no publication date in the cheap paperback I got at the supermarket. The year, 1871, the place, the canyonlands of southern Utah. The physical setting is the great landscape of rocks, buttes, canyons, cliffs. Grey's descriptive powers are superb. Imagine a huge thunder and lightning storm in a valley surrounded by those huge rock cliffs, the acoustics would deafen you. Another chapter was a chase sequence on horseback, that was the finest I've ever read. The social setting was one I'd never read before: the relations between the Mormons and Gentiles. In this novel, the Mormon church authorities in the village exercised their absolute power to intimidate and harrass the Gentiles and any Mormons who defended them. Grey had nothing good to say about the Mormons. Except for one, a young woman who had inherited her father's large ranch. She refused to obey the command to marry a church elder, and the story develops around that conflict. His character development was darned good, this wasn't just an early version of a western comic book or movie. Yet the two principal characters weren't as interesting to me as the two secondary characters. They held my attention but I couldn't recall the names of the two main people. Now I understand why Zane Grey was a famous writer of western fiction. I'm glad I read it. But I probably won't read it again. Patty |

Widow... I never really cared for Zane Grey. Louis L'amour was a far better author IMHO, better character development for one and more research. Try his Cherokee Trail, it has a CW connection and it is a very enjoyable book. Last edited on Fri Dec 15th, 2006 12:48 pm by Johan Steele |

This is just an added little tidbit. I had always thought of Zane Grey as a purely Western writer and resident. What a surprise the first time Hubby and I traveled to the Florida Keys and lo and behold, we found out that Zane Grey spent much time in the Islamorada area of the Keys attracted there by its incomparable deep sea sport fishing. In fact, Grey has written a few books on sport fishing and freshwater fishing. This was all a revealtion to me because I erroneously believed that another great writer and resident of the Keys, Ernest Hemingway, would be the name connected with Florida deep water sport fishing. Zane Grey is absolutely the last writer I would have associated with fishing in the Florida Keys. There is even a restaurant named after Zane Grey at the impressive Bass Outdoor Sports store at Mile Marker 81. It has a wonderful view of the sunset. |

On a tangential note, New Riders of the Purple Sage, a great early 70's group. Country rock before it was cool to be country. Country before heavy metal sent so many individuals scurying for county. If you're a dead head fan you'll enjoy them. Doc C |

My favorite songs included "Blue Shadows on the Trail", "Drifting Along with the Tumbling Weeds"and "Ghost Riders in the Sky" (reworked in the Blues Brothers Two movie.) Didn't Roy Rogers sing with them once in awhile? These days when Hubby and I go to Cracker Barrel we enjoy rocking in the porch rockers and listening to the old time country music played at the restaurant. It is so nice that Cracker Barrel often plays those old Riders of the Purple Sage songs. Paradoxically I am a heavy metal fan, too, and even played bass guitar in a heavy metal band. Never was a Dead Head, though. Last edited on Sun Jan 7th, 2007 03:03 am by CleburneFan |

Cracker Barrel. One of my favorites. Real haut quisine. Great for breakfast. Didn't know that there was another NRPS. Really got into texas swing while in college during the early 70's - asleep at the wheel, michael murphy, willie, etc. Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin was my mecca when i was in college. Will end my diatribe so as to not catch the wrath of the moderator. Doc C |

I may actually be confusing the two groups..."Sons of the Pioneers" and "Riders of the Purple Sage." I may have attributed songs to one group that rightfully belong to the other. I'd better do a Google search and straighten myself out on this. It has been so many years. OK, I looked up the two groups. No wonder I am confused. Roy Rogers sang with both at one time or another, and Gene Autry sang with the "Riders." The two groups were similar. I don't think I could tell them apart just by sitting and rocking at Cracker Barrel. Last edited on Sun Jan 7th, 2007 03:43 am by CleburneFan |

Ya got me there, cleburne. I don't recollect one from another either. Wasn't "Don't Fence Me In" by the Sons? Dear One has a "Riders" cd. I'll have to check it out. Not too thrilled about playing it 'though. Lost appreciation for "Meatloaf" as well. I still like Bing Crosby if I don't have to look at him.

. I love cowboy music. Cowboys and their music is right up there with Civil War. After all the cowboys rode right out of the Civil War into the West. Michael Martin Murphy, Dave Stamey , Curley Musgrove and Belinda Gail are some ofthe really good cowboy singers, then there is Don Edwards stands alone in how good he is . Ian Tyson from Canada and Tom Russell are also so good. My IPod is full of this music and civil war along with all my other music. |

Zane Grey was from Zanesville Ohio. right near West Virginia area. One of his first books was Betty Zane a fictional account of an ancestor. One of his early books too was a fictional version of the Mountain Meadow Massacre. I don't remember which one . I a sorry to say I haven't read Zane Grey yet but my parents had a complete set and read them all. |

I very likely read some Zane Grey way back when but retain no idea of which or what they were about. Same for the more contemporary Louie L'amour. Today, I'm more interested in Joseph Wambaugh, John Grisham and John LeCarre. Ole |

Patty one of the orginal western novel writers was Owen Wister who wrote The Virginian . This is where the line Smile when you call me that mister comes from. Wister was the grandson of Fanny Kemble and Pierce Butler . Fanny being the grea English Actress and Butler being the largest slave holder in Georgia. There is a great book called Fanny Kemble's Civil Wars that tells that story. Fanny became an abolitionist after going with Butler to the Plantation in Georgia. Also read Fanny Kemble's Journal for more interesting observaions on America, slavery and the Civil War . |

No Susan, I've not read the new Wambaugh. My withdrawal symptoms are getting intolerable so I might break down today or tomorrow and visit Barnes & Noble. I've been putting it off for austerity reasons (20 books bought in the last month), but maybe, just maybe, if I eat peanut butter sandwiches for the next week, I can justify it. (He says as he lies to himself.) I am incapable of going into B&N and buying just one book. I got it! I'll send Dear One! She can go in and buy just one. Ole |

Ole since there are two boxes from Amazon arriving this week plus the stack I got for Christmas I am not getting the Wambaough yet. It is killing me. I had the gift certificate in early December and went to get the book. It was not in print yet and since I was in Barnes and Noble . . . well let's just say the gift certificate didn't cover the cost of the pile . Now some where gifts . I bought three copies of the Gift of the Magi a new lovely edition. Speaking of O Henry. I just read a wonderful story by him with a Civil War connection. I will have to look at the book again to see what the title was . Well guess I had better get back to my biography of George Drouillard one of the most trusted members of Lewis and Clark's Corps . I am also reading For Cause & For Country that I got for Christmas. Too many books too little time. |

Too many books too little time. Sigh. Know what you mean. Am currently struggling to reach the 25 percent level -- to have read one-quarter of the books on my shelves. These forums are a handicap. As of this minute I've been on line for 4 hours and 11 minutes. When Dear One gets home (I finagled her into going to Barnes & Noble) I will be obliged to show some reason I get to share this house with her. Doesn't leave much time for reading today. Another handicap: I used to read quite fast -- well, a bit faster than the average. Since joining this and others, I've been checking footnotes and, when I have the cited source, checking the source. That severely cuts back the pages-per-hour rate. Another handicap: Someone always recommends a book I feel compelled to read. Get it, maybe read it, probably add it to the stack. Rather than start another paragraph, I'll tack on another handicap to this one. In the year 10 BF (before forum) my interest was limited to battles, tactics, strategies and such. I've since had to read biographies, the Federalist Papers, homefront studies, diaries and all kinds of things I wouldn't have bothered with back then. Well. I could be hanging around in bars. Ole |

Ole I can relate to all the reasons you gave. I too have stacks to read , I not only buy books but our Round table has a book raffle each month to raise money for preservation. I seem to come home with a book most months . Then there is the book discussion group at the Drum and usually that book has to be read that month. I am skipping the book this month. It is by an author name Jaffa. He is very dense .. I read the first book by him we had on the reading list. I swear I had headaches every night and had every dictionary and reference book I own out on the table next to me to look up reference. This one is on the Lincoln Douglas Debate. I am sure it is a good book but I am more a social historian than a political one. I like to read the biographies the most, then diaries or personal narratives, then tthe battle narratives . I like to read the biographies of the politicians but not so much the detail discussions . I also get distracted by Western History . I am first and foremost a Westerner. I was born and raised in California by my father born in Idaho and at one time a cowboy, and a mother from Oklahoma with very southern roots but Oklahoma is also a Western State in so many ways My college years and for many years after my reading in History was all Medieval and Rennaissance Englis history. Everyonce in a while one of those books calls me too. Then there is my abosolute addiction to several msytery authors and their detectives. I guess I could have worse addictions . |

I found my O.Henry book . The Book is called 41 Stories by O. Henry, catchy title huh? Signet Classics. There is a whole chapter of stories on Confederates in the book .The Rose of Dixie is outstanding as is a really funny story Two Renagades. I always forget how well O. Henry wrote til I read another story by him. The Gift of the Magi is of course the classic story and it is so well known you forget how well written it is . Usually now you find it in the Children's section as a picture book. Last year i read some of his Wild West stories including a Western Christmas story . That is what led me to get this book. By the way the clerk had no idea who he was and led me finally to the O. Henry Short winners of the year book. I politely told her that is not O. Henry's writing but people who were given an award for being outstanding writers LIKE O.Henry. I ended up at a lovely second hand bookstore (read a jumble of books and boxes but organized too. She not only knew who he was she send me down an aisle where I had my choice of books. They each had wood block prints to illustrate the stories. I found the story I was looking for . Also found the Civil War section and California history section . I left with an arm load.. I am not to be trusted in a bookstore. |

Susan, oh, I do know what you mean about going to the bookstore. Whenever I drive along the street past Borders Books, my car automatically turns in. Even when I went Christmas shopping there, I ended up with several for myself. I'm spending my old-age savings on books. So I have two choices: live until I'm 200 years old, in order to read them all, or die soon in order to have enough money left. I can't imagine reading a book online. How can I curl up in bed or stretch out on a recliner with a PC and monitor? (No laptop here.) Besides, I always take a book when I go out. I never know when I might have to wait for something somewhere, so I just whip it out and get in a few more pages. Some people find audio books satisfying while they drive. I don't have a CD player in my car. Besides, I like the FEEL of a book in my hand. If I need to leaf back to find a paragraph, I generally remember whether it's on the left or right page, top half or bottom. Can't do that with audio. Also, I read faster than the book reader on the audio version. I would go nuts waiting for the reader to move on, hurry up please. Bibliophiles of the world, unite! Patty |

Electronic health records (EHRs) are used widely by California physicians, but many of their systems are not designed to meet new federal standards aimed at improving the quality of health care, according to a report from UCSF researchers.
March 20, 2012
Evidence does not support the widely held belief that regions of the United States that spend more on health care and have higher rates of health care use deliver more unnecessary care to patients, or that low-cost areas deliver higher quality and more efficient care, according to a new study.
March 30, 2011
California is at the forefront of health care reform but success will depend on a partnership between doctors and the state, according to a new analysis led by UCSF.
February 11, 2011
David Durenberger and Susan Bartlett Foote will outline a new look at the legal and political issues related to health care reform. Both are guest speakers at the UCSF Philip R. Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies seminar series on health reform.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Crude Oil and Natural Gas Liquids Country Notes
Trinidad & Tobago
Proved recoverable reserves (crude oil and NGLs, million tonnes) |

Production (crude oil and NGLs, million tonnes, 2005) |
8.3 |
R/P ratio (years) |

The petroleum industry of Trinidad has passed its centenary, several oil fields that are still in production having been discovered in the first decade of the 20th century. The remaining recoverable reserves are small in regional terms, at 615 million barrels, as reported by the Trinidad & Tobago WEC Member Committee. Whilst World Oil quotes an identical figure, BP shows 800 and Oil & Gas Journal has 990 for end-2005 but only 728 for end-2006.
The oil fields that have been discovered are mostly in the southern part of the island or in the corresponding offshore areas (in the Gulf of Paria to the west and off Galeota Point at the south-east tip of the island).
After ten years of moderate oscillation around a mean level of 112 000 b/d, output of crude oil rose sharply to 126 000 b/d in 2005; condensate output was also well up at 18 000 b/d. Production of gas-plant NGLs began in 1991 and averaged about 27 000 b/d in 2005. Over 40% of Trinidad's crude output is exported.

Things Have Changed In 20 Years
By Joe
from Alexandria, vA
Our old GE Profile microwave lasted 20 years! This new one is very powerful and appears to be a great addition to the kitchen. However, I had to go with an outside company who makes venting systems as the one that is available with this unit wouldn't work.

What a waste
By K. Edward
from Chicago, IL
Comments about GE Profile Black Countertop Convection Microwave Oven:
This may work fine as a microwave but forget about using the convection function. The unit simply will not heat to your desired temperature and you'll be left with cold, uncooked food.
Service and delivery comments:
Home delivery was great and service was prompt when I requested it, but the service person was not sympathetic to the fact that the convection oven simply didn't work correctly.

World Book Day
World Book Day/The Big Read Event in Personalised Learning Thursday 5th March
On World Book Day we celebrated both our enjoyment of reading and additionally raised awareness of those children in other countries who may not have access to books or any formal education. We feel strongly about this political issue and wanted to be a part of the wider schools campaign to remind world leaders that all children should be able to enjoy reading.
It enabled us to consider the plight of children in other cultures and countries.
Firstly we watched the short film about 'The Big Read - send my friend to school' in Personalised Learning groups.
Next, we completed the No 10 action card with powerful words, pictures or slogans to send to 10 Downing Street.
Finally, we distributed the £1 book vouchers to each student which can be exchanged for a free title or can be used as £1 off any title of their choice from any book shop.

CLINTON - Two Fayetteville women are among four people accused of operating a bogus check scam throughout the state, the Sampson County Sheriff's Office said.
The four were arrested after a deputy stopped the green Lincoln Mercury they were traveling in for a traffic violation Wednesday on Interstate 40 near the exit for Faison, a news release said.
The Fayetteville women are identified as Brittany Lattice Williams, 22, of the 5000 block of Summer Ridge Road, and Jasmine Rochelle Sellers, 25, of the 5800 block of Tillery Lane, the release said.
Also arrested were Tinea Janay Middleton, 23, of the 600 block of Pine Street in Shannon, and Aubrey Eugene Temple, 25, of East St. Louis, Ill.
The deputy who stopped the car reported a strong odor of marijuana and said the occupants were acting suspiciously, the release said.
Deputies searched the car and found 34 counterfeit checks written for different amounts, the release said. The four were writing the phony checks and traveling across the state in an attempt to cash them, the release said.
The investigation led Sampson County detectives and the U.S. Secret Service to Raleigh, where a printing operation was discovered, the release said.
Bail for all four was set at $1 million apiece.

Abundancia manager Linzy Behr grins as she dons a black knit poncho. The echo of playful dogs reverberates through the newly-renovated second-hand store as artist Alex Ellis joins in the fun, pulling a thick "pleather" jacket from a plastic hanger.
"This store has a new breath of life," says Ellis. He sweeps one arm across his body, showcasing the neatly-arranged merchandise. "Linzy's done an incredible job with this place."
I started off as an 11-year- old at my Uncle Martin's tennis camp. I had a racket with rainbow colored strings and I entertained myself by picking up all the balls and dropping them right before I got to the basket. To me, it was basically an hour or two to socialize and cause trouble with my younger cousin, Ali.
Soft yellow paint coats the rounded corners of an adobe storefront lining the Las Vegas Plaza, giving sunlight opportunity to cast shadow against a recessed door. Delicate ristras, ochre paint clinging to the rough surface, echo a white sign offering burritos smothered in red or green. Nancy Philo's painting of JB's Tortilla Cones' facade offers a humorous zen koan, a painting of a painting.
"Las Vegas inspires me to paint," Philo muses, "the interplay of old and new, the unusual nooks and crannies. I can't imagine a better subject."
There are a lot of things which can be done to increase comfort, save money, and help protect the environment, all at the same time. Synergy Fest 2008 will feature a wide range of exhibits and activities revealing how those three aims—and others—are in "synergy."
On board this year is a variety of local and state government and educational agencies, many for the first time. There are many resources available to the community that readers may not be aware of. For example:
A Japanese monk lifted an empty teapot, passing an empty cup, ritualistically savoring bitter tea that no longer exists as a chorus of monks sang "though the bowl is empty, the scent glows."
Members of the Las Vegas Guild of the Santa Fe Opera leaned forward, let the music, as fine and enlightening as vapor from steaming green tea waft over them during the American premiere of Tan Dun's opera, Tea, last August in Santa Fe.
Las Vegas' Solid Waste Department is solidly behind recycling, and they would like residents to know about it.
Kelly Eversole, the departments' Keep America Beautiful Coordinator, says that the city is accepting recycled plastic, paper, cardboard, tin, steel, aluminum and e-waste, including computers, at the transfer station. There is no charge for recycling these items.
The city is already managing a large volume of recyclable materials. "We shipped out 109.56 tons of recycling from January through March of this year" Eversole said.
In a restaurant just around the corner from the Optic hangs a picture of John and Jacqueline Kennedy sitting on a boat of some sort, laughing and looking so happy, so carefree, that it's hard to believe they really existed. Eating lunch at a table across from this picture, I began to think about the American dream.
The Sangre de Cristo mountains loom between high desert and open plains, protecting a circular valley that once housed quiet ranchlands, an important stage stop on the Santa Fe Trail. Today the land is marked with blood, the site of the Civil War's "Gettysburg of the West," the Battle of Glorieta Pass.
Traveler's driving down Interstate 25 might notice a dirt drive housing a hand-painted red, white, and blue memorial, covered in eclectic messages.
The sound of the shutter surprises a nesting sparrow. Elena Gallegos points her camera at what seems to be nothing — a wisp of dried sweetgrass, a dusty stone, the crack between two slabs of concrete. She tries to steady her hands. Click. Click. The sparrow flits from one branch to another, curious, aware.

Chickens are a godsend for organic gardeners and farmers. Needing only basic care, they sally forth into gardens, devouring with gusto pests such as grasshoppers and slugs which often decimate crops, and converting them into fertilizer and healthy, free range eggs and meat.
But can chickens be legally kept in the city of Las Vegas? I asked Thomas Garza, Las Vegas' director of animal control; Garza said that chickens can be kept in the city, and helpfully provided the City's Animal Control Ordinance, which has this to say about keeping chickens:
Solar energy systems are good for the environment and good for your wallet. For every kilowatt-hour of electricity generated by solar energy instead of a coal-fired power plant, greenhouse gas emissions are reduced by two pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) and three-quarters of a gallon of water is saved.
The first thing that strikes the listener is that the woman's voice is stone cold melodic, even, unafraid. She stands at a microphone, her head cocked to one side as she interlaces curt words, deliberate ideas, into a rug tightly-woven enough to carry weight. Her gestures suggest necessary defiance, the aural transfer of sacred inalienable truth.
I'm sitting on the floor next to the woodstove listening to the radio
it's bringing me voices of protest against the war
tens of thousands from all over the country
drumming voices
when slowly i begin to weep
then im sobbing bent forward into my hands it all comes rushing out of my
shoulders out of my spine
which must be where ive been putting all of those endless stories of death
the 8.4 billion a month spent
the seemingly unstoppable abuse of power
As three movies were filming in town last month I came to realize that the world has discovered our secret, and how great Las Vegas really is.
When I drive down Seventh and Eighth streets, I see rows of Victorian homes. On the west side of town there are hundreds of traditional southwestern homes, which show off the architecture of the original Las Vegas. I am told that the same houses in another part of the country would cost five to 10 times as much and that the Victorians would be priced at least $1 million.
My Polish grandma died five years ago. Babcia lived in the middle apartment of a triple tenement house in New England for all of her married life. She worked all those years, too, in a beat-up shoe factory she called the "coop." When I was a kid, I thought she meant it like a chicken coop, a place of barbed wire and rows of feathered ladies like hens producing shiny patent leather inventory. Later I learned it was really short for The Cooperative. Babcia spent long days drilling tiny holes into men's wing- tipped shoes. She was an artist.
A middle-aged women sits on a rugged brick floor, arms folded tightly across her chest, a thick plaid blanket tucked around her waist. A corner of white fabric lies next to her, suggesting a selection of unseen tooled silver, perhaps tiny spiral earrings, or delicate belt conchos in the shape of the zia. Her slightly pained expression speaks of fatigue, of crisp Santa Fe air. Deborah Paisner's oil painting, "Carol at the Palace of Governors," examines contemplation, waiting, longing — the emotions of time, the emotions of every working woman.

Device states in Asterisk are important both from a software standpoint (Asterisk might need to know the state of a device or the line on a device in order to know whether a call can be placed to it) and from a user's perspective (for example, a light may be turned on or off to signify whether a particular line is in use, or whether an agent is available for any more calls). From the viewpoint of a queue, it is extremely important to know the status of the device an agent is using in order to determine whether the next caller in the queue can be distributed to that agent. Without knowledge of the device's state, the queue would simply place multiple calls to the same endpoint.
Once you start expanding your single system to multiple boxes (potentially in multiple physical locations, such as remote or satellite offices), you will need to distribute the device state of endpoints between the systems. The kind of implementation that is required will depend on whether you're distributing them between systems on the same LAN (low-latency links) or over a WAN (higher-latency links). We'll discuss two device state distribution methods in this section: OpenAIS for low-latency links, and XMPP for higher-latency links.

Been a little bit since I added some new packs-- Speedcore 3 reminded me that I had been wanting to do a little update for a while, so here you go! Speedcore 3, Kamelot, and Tachyon Spectrum. If you want to submit scores for the Easy charts for Spectrum, just uh... submit them in their respective original Tachyon packs, they're the same charts (I would have just made it so they shared rankings for those songs but it doesn't work across different difficulties sadly and all the original ones were on Expert). -Ian |
03/28/2013 - Groovestats Overhaul complete / Huge pack update! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Groovestats overhaul is now complete! The second wave of it mainly consisted of backend stuff to allow for new/improved site features-- as a for instance, having a song shared between multiple packs before was pretty much impossible to do without having a separate ranking for the same song. After the overhaul, this is no longer the case; you can submit a score for Still Grey in Disbalance 3 and it'll count in Pendulum, too. There's a bunch of other stuff this allows for as well and some of that is covered here in this post. Improved Features: - Player Ranking now has filters for all packs, no longer excluding officials. (It also runs off a cache for everything now, so custom packs join officials now in updating once a day rather than in real time. This is sort of the one drawback to everything I did and it's for performance reasons) - Region Ranking now supports a full suite of filters, including pack, difficulties, etc. (Previously only supported officials) - Machine Location List's rankings now support a full suite of filters, including pack, difficulties, etc. (Previously only supported officials) - Quad Leaderboard now supports a full suite of filters, including pack, difficulties, etc. (Previously only supported officials) - High Scores now supports a full suite of filters, including pack, difficulties, etc. (Previously only supported officials) - Score Uploaders for both ITG and Pump have received a facelift in line with the theme system overhaul and are a little less overwhelming to view (You can minimize/expand results from a pack now) NEW Features: - Recent Scores has been implemented on the site; it appears in a few different variants. On the front page, the five most recent scores across all packs in ITG and Pump are displayed. On a player's profile, that player's five most recent scores are displayed. Finally, there's also a Recent Scores page that displays the 30 most recent scores given a set of filters. - Game Slots are now settable on your profile. These are the percentage bars shown at the bottom of your profile; previously, you were forced to display your overall ITG 1/2 percentages and ITG 1/2 Marathons/Survivals. Now, you can set up to four packs of your choosing on your profile (or none if you want). - Step Parser. Not really something you guys can play with, but Zetorux and I collaborated on (read: I told him what SQL needed to be generated and he did everything else) a step parser to make adding new packs less cumbersome-- up to this point, I've been inputting every song and every pack manually (that includes all the step data like steps, mines, rolls, etc.). This means adding new songs is done in a matter of minutes instead of like days. MAJOR MAJOR kudos to Phil for helping me out with that! NEW PACKS : Yeah I know this is all you guys care about: Mudkyp Korea Mudkyp Korea 2 Mudkyp 6th Gen Mute Sims 7 The Legend of Zim 5 Cirque du Veyron Speedcore 2 Sharpnelstreamz Pendulum Most likely will be adding some more packs in the near future (Beast Aoreo Beast 2/3? Gazebo's stuff?), but I figured this was plenty for you guys to play with for the time being. Thanks for your patience-- I hope you'll agree the improvements were worth the wait! -Ian |

09/20/2012 - East Coast Stamina 1 (ECS1) Schedule! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I'm hosting (and doing a ~LIVE STREAM~ of) a tournament at my house this weekend, and the best stamina players on the eastern coast of the United States were all invited, including: Myself (Archi/Ian) Krushrpants/Bryan Rawinput/Mike Zetorux/Phil Captain Black/Rich Steve Reen/STEVEREEEEEEN I mean Steve (unfortunately probably not attending, but listed anyway) Day 1 (Saturday) of the tournament, everyone will play one song and the scores they get will be ranked to determine placement. On Day 2 (Sunday), the tournament is gauntlet-style, much like Bearpocalypse was. Each entrant will play six songs I've pre-determined, with a maximum of three-minutes for break in between each. At the end, the players will be ranked according to their cumulative score on the songs. On both days, each player will have 20 minutes to warm-up. Bracketing/mashing/etc. is not allowed; if you start to bracket, you're done with that song, and the score you get after you walk-off and fail is what will be recorded. Use your common sense here; I'm not going to split hairs over one-footing a jump or bracketing some 8ths, but mashing through streams is not okay. Links to the stream and to pages tallying the scores will be posted once the tournament begins (probably will be streaming people playing Friday night as well), but the schedule is as follows (players haven't been assigned to times yet): *Note that all times are EST* Saturday, September 22nd: 3:00 PM: First player 4:30 PM: Second player 6:00 PM: Third player 7:30 PM: Fourth player 9:00 PM: Fifth player 10:30 PM: Sixth player Sunday, September 23rd: 11:00 AM: First player 12:30 PM: Second player 2:00 PM: Third player 3:30 PM: Fourth player 5:00 PM: Fifth player 6:30 PM: Sixth player Stay tuned for more information! -Ian |
09/01/2012 - Profile images and theme system overhaul! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You can now set profile images on Groovestats. Perhaps more importantly, though, after a month of work, I've completely overhauled the theme system on the site and redesigned the two existing themes. Bryan/krushrpants will be making some new themes in the future, so you can look forward to a little more variety there (plus he's a bit better at the visual design stuff than I am so they'll look better than what I came up with), but for now, the site is looking a lot less like it was made in 2004 :-P -Ian |

Presented to: Reed McColm
For: Hole in the Sky
The Association for Mormon Letters presents its Award in Drama for 2002 to Reed McColm for Hole in the Sky and for his body of dramatic works produced since 1987.
The terrorism of 2001 has played so largely in the public mind that any dramatic enactment of those events might seem redundant or maudlin. And yet the BYU-Idaho production of Hole in the Sky by Reed McColm (directed by John Bidwell) invited its audience into a space in which our fears could be transformed into compassion. Though the audience was re-paralyzed by pyrotechnics that too well suggested all the deafening chaos of those final minutes in the World Trade Center, McColm's characters, fictional and realistic composites of the actual victims, achieved both individual and combined humanity. At the play's conclusion, as the words and images of leaders, both national and Mormon, mingled with the dust and broken girders of the falling building, instead of a curtain call and customary applause, an elegiac silence of several minutes' length punctuated the catharsis--a fitting tribute to the play's fitting tribute to this sobering event. McColm's play was movingly redemptive, and the production was extended to accommodate the many who responded to its emotional richness.
It has been McColm's habit in the last 15 years to stage ensemble dramas fraught not so much with physical as with human wreckage: dysfunctional families in Together Again for the First Time and his dark musical, Could You Leave the Door Open; or strangers in an airport in Holding Patterns. And yet in each of these McColm redirects the directionless toward more human interaction than they'd thought possible. His characters unburden themselves of their baggage without burdening the audience. This playwright sobers us through unflinching examination of broken lives, and celebrates, though mutely, how life is only reconstructed in communities, redeemed in twos and threes, and in those potent minutes of communion McColm constructs with such consistency and force within the intimacy of the theater.

Are there any success stories of coop startups in technology (namely software)? I don't mean like a coop store where customers are (or can be) members, but worker cooperative one where membership is exclusive to (in this case) developers and IT people, and each can only have one "share".

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
If assume that you are asking this so that you can assess whether or not it's a good idea. If that is the case, then an answer to your question isn't going to give you that information. Even if there are hundreds of success stories, that doesn't help you unless you know how many tried and failed in the first place. Just like lots of failures don't mean it's generally a bad idea unless you know how many succeeded. E.g. If there are 100 failures, but there were 10,000 companies that tried it, then trying a coop isn't a bad idea. But if there are 100 failures and 110 companies tried it, then it's probably not a good idea. All that said, the dynamics of a startup aren't something that can be so easily put down to a structure. It's about a whole lot of other aspects which can't really be measured (like passion, commitment, or luck). | |||

Texture on demand.
You're welcome.
If the Shinyness (it is his natural shinyness from S2) annoys you, Penance did a version where it is reduced on the skin:
Last edited by haschisch; 08-20-2010 at 02:59 AM.
Wow thanks. The screen shot looks badass. Next time I'm able to get on HoN I'm trying out this bad boy
Hmmm, then the OP should use a specular map to reduce the shininess, and perhaps re-colour the texture a bit in shiny parts ;/
hmm download doesnt work for me :/ just goes a blank image and download doesn't start. can you try a different uploader or something i really want this model thanks
Yup love it. Makes me want to play beastwood all the time now LOL
Made some adjustments so it wasn't all shiny. Armor and guns (metal stuff) still is. Would look better with a 512x512 version made though.
Was lazy so screenshots are from 1280x720 and not 1920x1080.
neat. i'll include that in my first post.

The Scorpion gets its name from the "scorpion" shaped V-cut along side the half moon cut. This call is perfect for producing the higher pitched tones of a young hen and is a great call for kee-kee's. Requiring very little air pressure to operate, this call is also an excellent choice for beginning callers.

Chico-based Crush Steakhouse plans to open a restaurant in the former Branches location, a representative confirmed Thursday.
"We are definitely going in there," said Roni Turner of Guillon Construction and Crush Steakhouse, adding that crews were at the building finalizing decor plans. "We are shooting for opening the first of November." Turner described Crush Steakhouse as an "Italian Steakhouse" that has restaurants in downtown Chico and San Diego.
Branches closed suddenly in January and was put up for sale or lease in June. Turner said Crush Steakhouse bought the restaurant and is leasing the building.
She said the company's owner, Doug Guillon, learned about the restaurant when Guillon Construction was building the Sears on Airport Park Boulevard and "really liked the building."
In January, Branches owner Debra Watson described the restaurant's abrupt closing as a "regrouping," and that she hoped to restructure the financing and reopen perhaps in six months.
She said her business, Redwood Empire Lodging, financed and built the restaurant, which opened in November of 2010, and early on restauranteur Munther Massarweh took over majority control.
Within six months, however, the business was hemorrhaging money and in July of 2011, Watson and her husband Marc wrestled back control of the business.

we booked a non smoking room with one king bed for two adults/two nights. For what we paid, this hotel was wonderful! They had a beautiful bar and... restaurant, and a very nice pool and hot tub. The overall decor of the hotel had a very old feel to it, but we kind of liked it! Could have used a touch more lighting throughout, but really cant complain. The hotel also featured an arcade room, pool tables, and is very close to quite a few other restaurants and gas stations. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quite, inexpensive place to stay. från en Hotels.com-gäst den 22.8.2013

It has been my pleasurable challenge, as a consultant to the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) since 1998, to try to piece together the fascinating history of the city's many lost streams. PWD has preserved its own collection of historical material, which is a rich source of information, and I have supplemented that base with research in local libraries, historical societies, archives and relevant departments of the city government. Besides many useful written records, I have uncovered a wide range of graphic material including paintings and drawings, maps and plans, photographs and surveys. This material stretches across the breadth of the city's long history, since changes were made in the landscape almost as soon as William Penn began building his new city along the Delaware River in 1682. The bottom line is that, over the course of several centuries, most of the city's surface streams have been channeled underground and incorporated into the city's 3,000 mile sewer system. | |||||
