Interview with Ensidia on PvE Raiding
Those familiar with high end World of Warcraft raiding will recognize the guild name Ensidia. As a result of a 2008 merger of two raiding powerhouse guilds, SK-Gaming and Nihilum, the majority of Ensidia's raid team holds claim to almost every major world first boss kill since the 2005 European release of the game. Their website, which features a community of forums and strategic player guides, sometimes gets overwhelmed by high traffic when players hear the news of Ensidia's latest kill.
And now they have their eyes on Star Wars: The Old Republic.
We spoke with Ensidia guild members Mek and Buzzkill for over an hour, and we discussed a broad range of topics including their thoughts on PvE raiding, and how it might be implemented in Star Wars: The Old Republic.
Last week, Ensidia made MMO news headlines with their world first kill of Arthas in Icecrown Citadel on Normal 25-man mode. Because one of their rogues used Saronite Bombs in his rotation, it caused the encounter to "bug out" during a few of their Arthas attempts, but Ensidia maintains this was not known at the time. Blizzard assumed the guild deliberately exploited to get the kill, so they removed loot and the achievement from their character sheets, plus issued a 72 hour suspension to the entire Ensidia raid force. After their suspension was over, they promptly went back in and killed him again.
As you read this interview, we ask you to please keep in mind that this in depth conversation took place mid-January -- at least two weeks prior to this incident.
Let's start off with introductions of who you are, and what you do in Ensidia.
Mek: I am one of three guild masters for Ensidia. I play a restoration shaman... well, an elemental shaman nowadays. Anyway, been playing the game for a really long time. I am the guild master of Ensidia, and before that, SK Gaming and Curse for about four years.
Buzzkill: I am a warlock class leader in Ensidia since the conception of the guild and was the class leader of warlocks in Nihilum previously. I have been playing World of Warcraft for five years.
For those who may not know, can you guys tell us who Ensidia is and how you formed?
Mek: Essentially, you had two top guilds in World of Warcraft at the end of the last expansion. And we basically decided that we would merge into one guild for various reasons. Essentially, it was quite hard to recruit top players, and it just made a lot of sense for us to centralize. So we decided to combine the guilds for this expansion. We have been playing together for eighteen months as a single guild, and it is working out really well for us. We had a lot of good success, so we are really happy about it.
So, I am sure that you guys have tested and played various MMOs in the past, right?
Mek: Yep, lots of MMOs.
Buzzkill: Indeed. I basically played every single triple A MMO title for the past seven years. We basically played beta in every game, bought plenty of them, but never stick to them.
Mek: Except Star Wars: The Old Republic. We haven't played any of that yet, hint hint. (laughs) Actually, I didn't play as many MMOs as Buzz. I started out with Quake which I played for many years before I switched to my first MMO. But since WoW came out, I played various betas and whatnot. I tried all the latest ones at least.
Well, since you guys have such extensive experience, what criteria do you think that Star Wars: The Old Republic needs to have in order for you to consider making it the guild's core focus?
Buzzkill: Well, for me, I would say it would have to have big exposure, competitiveness, and a challenge in the PvE aspect of the game.
Mek: And that's really it. We are a really focused group of people. It has to have a really strong PvE side. I think if you look at other MMOs, they haven't really gotten to the same level of World of Warcraft PvE in terms of depth and quantity of content. Everything has to be challenging. Public exposure is a big part of what we do and we don't want to play a game that no one has heard of or follows. We have a big website that is built around the guild now and a big part of the guild is supporting that as well. It is really a lot of different factors, but ultimately it has to be fun as well. We tried a bunch of different MMOs and after about a couple of weeks, you get really bored. I don't know how World of Warcraft keeps drawing people back, but you don't get bored quite as easily.
Buzzkill: Yeah, plus we are all avid gamers, so if a game is good, then we're going to stick to it. If it fits all of the criteria, then we are going to start playing it hardcore.
Mek: We just want the whole package if possible. It isn't like anything Star Wars is in danger of not being in the public eye -- we're not just going to go start playing some MUD that nobody has heard of. But to expand on the whole competitive edge: it is going to take a lot of players to switch for one of these to take off. You can't really do it with just a few hundred thousand players. It is going to take a few million players to really make one of these games compete with World of Warcraft, because it needs to have that strong competitive community to be on the same level.
You raided for a very long time in World of Warcraft, so you definitely saw the ins and outs of PvE raiding. What things would you like to see in Star Wars: The Old Republic in regards to raiding? Do you need the single boss, or are you okay with other things?
Mek: I would say variation. Fighting big bosses is cool for most people who have played World of Warcraft. For me, it was fighting one of those earlier bosses, like Ragnaros, who is a huge, epic boss who gives you that epic feel. I saw a lot of stuff about Star Wars: The Old Republic that says they are going for that heroic feel. You can achieve that in two ways: a really big boss that is intimidating and gives you that feeling of being overwhelmed, and you can do it with a sort of a zergy style encounter where you are getting swarmed by a lot of enemies. I think anything that promotes good team play or has a competitive edge that is based on skill can be successful. If skill has no meaning, then I think that is the worst thing that you can have in a game. I know that a lot of people complain about that sort of thing in World of Warcraft, but there is always going to be some element of movement. The more skill that is required, the more we want to play it. So, I would have to say that is more important than how big the boss is or how many mobs you are fighting.
Buzzkill: For me, there was always something appealing about a boss that you would never have the distinct chance of beating it by yourself. But in a team, it is a bit different.
Mek: Balancing is one of the most difficult things. I think that is one of the strengths that Blizzard has with World of Warcraft. They've been around for so long, they had so much time to get things right, and still people are constantly complaining about this or about that. When you start with a new game, everything is fresh. You don't have any of testing or experience of balancing. That is actually one of the things that games fall down on when they first start out. People are just like "this is horribly balanced and I'm not prepared to give this several years to get it right, like World of Warcraft does. I will just go back to playing my old game."
Buzzkill: Also, Star Wars: The Old Republic is implementing a lot of new concepts in the whole class system. So we'll see. Bottom line: it is up to them. Game testing brings it so far, but the concepts that that they are talking about implementing are going to make or break the PvE aspects of the game for the hardcore. The casual player doesn't really care about balance; he just doesn't want his character to be completely useless, but that is about it. Hardcore players go for min-maxing and want that level of game play, and balance is definitely going to make or break it.
Mek: Look at the impact of balance on top guilds and how it has affected World of Warcraft and raiding. When you have a situation where good players are having to sit out just because of their class, that is the really the kind of thing that you really don't want going on in your game. Blizzard tries to deal with that, but it never really goes away.

DARLINGTON'S pre-season preparations have been brought to an abrupt halt as tomorrow's friendly at Blyth has been postponed.
With a number of players carrying injuries, Quakers say they are unable to fulfil what would have been their final friendly of the summer.
Tuesday's friendly with Bishop Auckland saw Darlington start with a central defensive pairing of Leon Scott, who played in midfield and at left-back last season, alongside youth team player David Mitchell, who has previously played for the senior team at right-back.
A Quakers statement read: "We regret to announce that Friday's friendly match against Blyth has been postponed with the full cooperation and understanding of the officials at Blyth, for which we are very grateful.
"With injuries mounting before the season kicks off on August 17, it was decided that the squad needed more time together on the training pitch to help players regain their fitness and prepare for the coming season."
The game becomes Darlington's second to be postponed this summer as last week's game at Whitley Bay was also called off due to the lack of senior players.

Female infertility treatments should be seeked if a pregnancy is not successful after one year of trying. This is the standard definition used for both female and male infertility. It is vital that both members of the couple seek medical treatment if this is the situation. A couple or a woman should not assume that they are infertile but seek a examination that is comprehensive to be properly diagnosed. This way the female will know if the problem is a serious one or not. A female evaluation will usually begin with a ovulation test and the history of prior menstrual and pregnancy taken.
A more invasive option is given to the more serious cases. A laparoscopic may be given to a female to detect adhesions and endometriosis. More advanced testing may be needed to determine what is causing the infertility. The options for female infertility have advanced over the years. One of the best known treatments used is Assisted Reproductive Technology or ART. This is when fertility drugs are combined with hormonal therapy. The other forms of testing used are gamete intrafalliopian transfer, invitro fertilization, and the zygote intrafalliopian transfer.
Fertility drugs is another form of treatment for female infertility. The fertility drugs are used to help the ovaries make enough eggs to become fertilized during the ovulation process. There are also fertility drugs that can help stimulate hormonal production.The drugs Clomiphene, Clomid, or Serophene are commonly used drugs in infertility treatments and are sometimes used in combination with intrauterine insemination or invitro fertilization.

Of all the public gardens I've visited through the years, one of the most surprising is the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona. Located on 145 acres in the midst of the red rock buttes of Papago Park, the stunning desert scenery is a haven for hummingbirds.
Something is always in bloom here. In fact, the ever-changing color palette of nectar-rich blooms offers a riot of attraction for hummingbirds and butterflies throughout much of the year.
To be honest, desert gardens have never held much appeal for me. But now I have a whole new appreciation. Established in 1939, the garden features more than 20,000 cacti, succulents and other desert trees and shrubs from across the globe in what has become one of the world's finest collections of desert plants.
The pageantry of multihued and textural plants possess a stunning sense of presence, especially when set off by a Sonoran scenery highlighted by cinnamon buttes, turquoise skies and golden light. Five themed trails take the familiar phrase "paths of discovery" to a whole new level, revealing different aspects of desert landscape, plants and wildlife.
The main trail is the brick-lined Desert Discovery Trail, which showcases the garden's oldest plants. The Sonoran Desert Nature Trail is the spotlight of attraction for dramatic vistas, amazing wildlife and incredible cacti and other desert plants.
You can see hummingbirds and butterflies throughout the garden, but the Harriet K. Maxwell Desert Wildflower Trail is the best place to find them. Two other areas you don't want to miss are the Herb Garden and Quail Run Path. The Herb Garden features seven themed gardens, including a wildlife garden filled with herbal enticements for hummingbirds and butterflies. The Quail Run Path gets you up close and personal with a variety of interesting plants, which means interesting bird activity as well.
The Desert Botanical Garden is one of the most accessible birding areas in Phoenix, and it's a great place to photograph these colorful creatures. You can see several species of hummingbirds at any time of year.
The most common is the brilliant Anna's hummingbird, a year-round resident with a fondness for the Baja Fairy Duster (Calliandra californica), ocotillo (Fouquieria splendens) and other red tubular flowers. Other hummers to grace the skies include the rufous, Costas, broad-billed and black-chinned.
The garden is also home to many other bird species. You might cross paths with a greater roadrunner or roam the grounds with the Gambel's quail—a gregarious bird that would rather run than fly.
Other residents you're likely to see include Abert's towhee, northern mockingbird, gilded flicker and lesser goldfinches. If you're lucky, you might even see yellow-headed verdins jockeying for a nectar spot among the hummingbirds. Or you could hear cactus wrens and curved-billed thrashers singing from the tops of cacti.
Don't let the word "desert" stop you from visiting this wonderful Southwest oasis. In one trip, you'll be surprised, too!

Students Struggle in Brutal Economy
Joseph Fisher, Managing Editor
She sits at her desk in her Luzerne Hall dorm on a rainy Tuesday evening, typing away at a paper that is due Friday; Sarah Lamar is concentrating intently at her research to complete her assignment. It is 9 p.m. and her roommate, Kate Brown walks lethargically in the room after spending hours studying for her rigorous classes.
The relationship between these two 19-year-old sophomores at Bloomsburg University seems like a normal roommate situation. Two friends living together in a 15 x 12 room getting an education to better prepare themselves for the workforce post graduation. These two individuals, however, like many students, have the thought of money on their minds at all times. While their situations are similar, feeling the financial burden, they are both coping in different ways.
Brown is pursuing a degree in music education and French. Lamar is studying to become a secondary education history teacher. In order to make their career goals a reality they must endure four years of school bills and years of paying off debt after graduation.
A majority of the more than 10,000 students enrolled at BU are working to support themselves. Over 2,000 work-study jobs on campus are available for students who have a financial need. Many more college students work in town and along Rt. 11 for some extra cash while juggling a full course load of classes. The luxury of just taking classes is unrealistic to most students who themselves or their families have been affected by the struggling economy in some way or another.
Her mother makes her way to the kitchen and sits down at the circular kitchen table covered with unpaid bills and final notices. She anxiously scans over the pile, wondering how she will afford to pay off the ever-growing heap in front of her.
Realtors' nationwide, Brown's parents among the group, found themselves not being able to get rid of listings and unable to find people looking to move. This standstill was a rude awakening for the Brown household.
"The lifestyle that my mother and stepfather were used to caught up to them," Brown said. "They eventually found themselves in debt because of the excessive spending."
A normal weekend for Brown's mother and stepfather would be spent at the Langhorne Hotel, but instead, these two realtors find themselves saving their money by purchasing booze to drink at their home. The couple was used to a more extravagant and free-spirited lifestyle, but when the housing market fell flat by the end of 2008 and money was not coming in as regular as before, the couple found themselves having to change their ways. One of those changes, for the first time in a long time, was being more conservative with disposable income.
However, Brown's stepfather finds himself in a sticky situation. By spending a few nights a week at a local bar drinking, eating, and socializing with bar-goers, he racks up a yearly tab of over $10,000. But in return, he meets people looking to put their houses on the market and finds himself making additional income. So, even though he is clocking in hundreds of hours at the bar, he is essentially working and making connections with those who may have friends or family looking to sell.
"I am sure my stepdad would rather be spending his free time with his family," Brown said. "He accrues more business if he makes appearances at local eateries. It's like he's at work when he's at the bar. It's an investment. "
One advantage Brown has to many students is her full-tuition scholarship from the Board of Governors. She still has to pay for a meal plan and housing, but because of her strong academic record she receives a remarkable reward. This reward is especially beneficial because it keeps her loans at a minimum compared to those who have much more severe costs to payback. According to the university website, over two-thirds of BU students receive some type of aid.
Lamar and Brown both have part-time jobs. Lamar has worked at Wendy's as a cashier since she was 15 years old, and Brown busses tables at the Langhorne Hotel. Brown's family situation is one of millions of different outcomes this economy has produced for families in the United States. The value of a dollar in a college student's pocket has and will only continue to become more valuable, which will more than likely make the full time working student a standard situation moving forward.

6.1 lbs. 14 x 10.2 x 8.8 Got my tracking number before I went to sleep and dreamt about the bounty in my bandoleer of carrots!
6lbs exactly, with dimensions of 14 in. x 10.2 in. x 8.6 in. Can't wait to see how this turns out.
14.9 lbs of crap heading my way. Can't wait!
3.4 lbs 12.2x9.8x9.2 and so it begins.

Same here as well! I got a little excited but now wondering if it's just a mistake? Thought I hit the jackpot for a moment!

exact same size and dimensions as mine
LLovely wrote:Same here as well! I got a little excited but now wondering if it's just a mistake? Thought I hit the jackpot for a moment!
I've got 2 tracking numbers as well. Nearly spit out my coffee!
No tracking number for me yet /sniff. Anxiously waiting!
Mine is 3.3 lbs, 14 in. x 10.2 in. x 8.6 in. Estimated delivery is Monday, May 7, which isn't bad considering I live about a 4 hour drive from Dallas.
I also have 2 tracking numbers with 1 lb placeholders.. interesting.
Mine: 1 tracking number at the normal placeholder weight Mom's: 2 tracking numbers at the normal placeholder weight From previous experience with Woot, I doubt she will get two packages. I am betting Woot just made a mistake on some of them. But we shall see.
Interesting things are different normally you can track the woot shipments by Woots FedEx account number however that doesn't seem to be working anymore. And never have I seen the Bunnies Ogling Carrots Shioment start with a weight and already having left the FedEx facility
Two tracking numbers for me with 1lb placeholders. I wonder what the Colonel has in store for us this time?
Oh and mine is 2.6 lbs and due here on the 8th.
Just curious, did you all that have the two tracking numbers get the final bag of the woot off?
ambermarie1221 wrote:Just curious, did you all that have the two tracking numbers get the final bag of the woot off?
Sure did. Nice catch.
Upon searching my reference number through fedex it appears that i have 2 tracking numbers as well. One has departed texas, and the other one is initiated. Both have placeholder weights. Except when i checked last night, my one package was coming in at 2.8 lb's. So maybe that will change, hopefully will increase.
OK.. reading all these postings.. now I am EXCITED... and feeling a little jealous of those 6 lb boxes!!!! Mine is 3.6lbs can't see dimensions. (but it is 1lb heavier than Mike's!!!! I really hope that is a 1 lb of a good thing?????)
Tracking information is working in My Fedex... My crap is of unknown location, size, and weight. Warehouse 10 or warehouse 8? My wife got her shipping notification from Woot! Her crap is 1lb 6.46 x 6.46 x 6.46 and has already left Dallas in route... Well played, Woot!... well played.
I do have two tracking numbers and I was in the final bag bundle...
Looks like I hit the standard weight/dimensions again. Mine clocks in at 14 in. x 10.2 in. x 8.6 in. and 3,5 lbs / 1,6 kgs. Fingers crossed!
I had a 4.2lb package last night and this morning it is 1.0lb. For shiggles, I tried to track by reference and I got NO tracking numbers.
I'm worried. I have yet to receive an email with a tracking number. I'll try to see if I can get it from the FedEx site.
Many thanks to those posting the Smart Post Primer. I got my tracking number from the FedEx site. 1.0 lbs/.5 kg May 2, 2012 11:48 PM Shipment information sent to FedEx *sigh* The wait continues.
mikebbass wrote:Interesting things are different normally you can track the woot shipments by Woots FedEx account number however that doesn't seem to be working anymore. And never have I seen the Bunnies Ogling Carrots Shioment start with a weight and already having left the FedEx facility
I have also never seen it where the status says "Shipment information sent to FedEx FEDEX SMARTPOST DALLAS, TX...", but it has already arrived and departed the Dallas location. Any chance woot! has something worked out with FedEx to get these to move through the Dallas location with incorrect weights? Maybe we will start seeing the weights change once they make it to the next FedEx location. That would be fun! Mine is currently 2.5 lbs and expected to arrive in WI on 5/9/2012.
Got my tracking info today: 3 lb placeholder with no dimensions. Nothing more shows when I track by reference number. Here's hoping for something great.
Hmmm I tried to get mom's tracking using the Fedex Primer and I ended up with 2 numbers as well. Hers was also the last offering I believe. Maybe a glitch in the system putting that last batch in?
Here we go! This is the second time I've scored and learning from the first one, I am staying away from the forums until my bag arrives. The last one I knew exactly what it contained (except the name and the size of the T shirt). Don't get me wrong, it was VERY GOOD Crap, but this time around I am looking for a surprise! Looks like a standard placeholder; 1 lb 10 x 10 x 10 - expected on Tuesday in Salt Lake. Good luck everyone! I can't wait to pop back and see what all the barrels contained!
The 2nd one would be our ponies.
12 in. x 9.6 in. x 9.5 in. 3.3 lbs Looks like some standard crap for me! No complaints!
Same here
jalopatin wrote:exact same size and dimensions as mine
Same here 2.6 lbs and 12 in. x 9.6 in. x 9.5 in. Standard or not I am excited, but my wife will be holding it over my head until the end of time that her Bunnies Ogling Carrots is 1 lb heavier than mine.
3.7 lbs and 12.2 in. x 9.6 in. x 9.2 in!!! I'm excited.
Mine is due the 9th. but shows only a 1lb place holder.
I checked my email this morning and I was like EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 3.4 pounds, 12.2 in. x 9.6 in. x 9.2 in.
Affirmative here as well.

4.3 lbs/2.0 kg, I haven't seen any others with that same weight... now I'm excited (as if I wasn't before)!

Questions about the Mondrian Tray Table in yellow (4)
Jubin 26 Jan 2013
Is the Mondrian tray table with stand appropriate to use as a TV dinner tray?
Made Customer Services 26 Jan 2013
Yes, This would be a great use for this item.
Sian 10 Nov 2012
Does the Mondrian tray click into place in the stand?
Made Customer Services 10 Nov 2012
The tray rests securely on top of the metal base. It does not have a 'click' mechanism.
Mary 19 Aug 2012
This table would look great in my garden. Would it be OK to leave it out in the Summer? Would it be easy to take apart for storage in the Winter & reassemble for the Summer ( several times)?
Made Customer Services 19 Aug 2012
There is no reason why this cannot be used outdoors. But the coating is not weatherproof so harsh sunlight and rain will effect the product. Ideally this should be stored indoors throughout the year. It can be disassembled, but doing this regularly could adversely effect the product.
John 23 May 2012
Does the frame part of this table fold down?
Made Customer Services 23 May 2012
The frame part does not fold, but could be disassembled and reassembled occasionally for storage purposes.

I am going to re-boot my Edo period Samurai rp, because I can.
The Edo period sees the Era of the Samurai dawn over Japan, thousands of swordsmen hone their techniques in swordsmanship to serve their damiyo and receive the title of "Samurai" and eventually the revered title of Kengo, or Great Swordsman. tornements are held daily to test the skill of the swordsmen horde and wittle the numbers down to the elite few and Dojos open across the land while the forges of artisans blaze day and night to provide the mountain of blades that Japan now demands. Betting matches between swords are held for the chance to obtain a blade of superior quality than your own and reckless swordsmen fight in the dead of night with real blades to test their skills to the limit and live life on the edge of a blade. Edo is the city that boast the largest number of Dojos and Kengo, swordsmen that have honed their skills*to perfection and are sort after by nearly every swordsman in the land to trade blows and knowledge with. However, dojos open in the smallest of towns and the Kengo have been known to wander the lands and simply appear in any dojo at any time. The Kengo are few but command a respect akin to the Damiyos of the land, some wander Japan trading blows and thoughts with people they meet and others open Dojos to formally pass on the knowledge they have.
Women are not left out of this new explosion in the population of Samurai as they can be just as skilled as the average swordsman, there is even a few female Kengo roaming around Edo but they does not bring much attention to this fact and very few people know their identity because while females are generally treated with the same respect as their male counterparts there are those of small mind that may wish to bring her down from her heights.
Catching a ride with a Merchant caravan for individual reasons, everyone will arrive at the town of Hinamizawa where the rapidly risen Kabaru siblings have opened a large Dojo and are accepting people from all across Japan, be it a farmer who has no Bokken to call his own all the way up to the Damiyo's children. These three eccentric but masterful Kengo will teach you well, and with luck you will win the weekly tournament and win the prize of a relocation to Edo, to train with the best Sword-masters Japan has to offer, including Yagyu Jubei and met legendary Artisans such as Gorō Nyūdō Masamune.
Age: (Above 18 but below 35)
Apperence: (Pictures are fine, anime, real life, hell. Even drawn ones are fine)
Bio: (Does not need to be your whole life story, just who you got here and some other things you think are important. As well as how and reasons you joined the caravan)
Strengths: (You quick? strong? sure footed? Have impressive sexual stamina?)
Weaknesses: (You kind of slow? not that strong? find it hard to grasp complex forms? Find your nose bleeding every time a well endowed woman flaunts her sizable assets?)
Stuff: (Anything that is not covered by the others, includes things you have on you or carry around with you. Can be empty if you carry nothing).
Ok, this is a Fantasy rp-because its got a lot of Youkai in it, and the timelines for some of the people I want doesn't quite work, so I changed it- but has deep roots in reality. Basically our world, if the Myths where real. Now, I don't mind a bit of pre-skill with your apps, but if you jack it up to much, you won't be accepted. Why would an experienced swordsman/woman be joining a mountain dojo instead of going to Edo? Thirdly, the legacy of this RP is a lot of killing, some intrege and a momentous amount of sex. I found it to be great fun to Gm with my last set on people, so I hope you will be equally fun to play with.
The Death List: These are the NPCs that have a good chance of killing you if you try to fight them. Everyone else is a fair game mook or red shirt.

U.S. Century Bank, which has agreed to be sold to C1 Bank of St. Petersburg, will hold its shareholders meeting at 6 p.m. on Tuesday to vote on the sale.
According to the terms of the deal, shareholders would receive $2.5 million, or about 1.7 cents on the dollar, from the sale, U.S. Century said. The deal, reached Aug. 30, also now includes a proposed $6.27 million repayment of TARP funds, the bank said. Originally, C1 proposed a 90 percent discount in repaying U.S. Centurys TARP funds, returning only $5.2 million of the $50.2 million. The U.S. Treasury Department must approve the proposed TARP (Troubled Asset Relief Program) repayment.
The proposed sale of U.S. Century came after the Doral bank faltered during the real estate downturn and recession. Founded in 2002, U.S. Century is operating under a June 2011 regulatory consent order mandating it to boost capital, reduce its bad loans and return to profitability, among other requirements. Last year, it hired the Japanese investment bank Nomura Securities to try to raise at least $150 million in private equity funds.
C1, privately owned by four investors, is proposing to inject $100 million of fresh capital into the combined bank. The deal would give the growing C1 Bank 24 branches in Miami-Dade and Broward counties and $1.2 billion in assets.

Gaga The Showgirl
Posted on December 07, 2013 at 8:36 AM
Lady Gaga left her hotel for an "intimate gig," according to the photo agency, at a place called Annabel's in London. As soon as I saw Lady Gaga in all these sequins, I thought "showgirl." Doesn't she look like one? I don't mean it in a snarky way.
Lady Gaga looks like the high-fashion version of a showgirl. Look at those platform boots she's rocking! Lady Gaga is brave. I'd be afraid of breaking my ankle in those things. Rock on, Gaga. Rock on.

Megan Keeps Her Baby Bump Beautiful
Posted on December 07, 2013 at 8:18 AM
Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green were spotted doing some shopping at Planet Beauty. Megan's baby bump was on display, although she was wearing a jacket. I like that sweater she's wearing. I'm not pregnant, but I'd wear it!
It looks like Megan and Brian really stocked up at Planet Beauty. Wonder if they were buying for themselves or picking up some gifts? I have to hit the stores this weekend to get some more shopping done. How is your holiday shopping coming?

Breakfast Beauties
Posted on December 07, 2013 at 8:01 AM
Jennifer Garner manages to spend one-on-one time with each of her new children. Here she is having breakfast with her middle child, daughter Seraphina. Jen and Sera had breakfast at the Brentwood Country Mart. This seems to be a regular hangout for them!
Jennifer ended up giving Seraphina a lift on their way inside. I wonder if Sera was intimidated by the paparazzi? I wouldn't be surprised: they intimidate plenty of adults already. I wonder if Jen and Sera will need to find a new place to eat breakfast. If I found a place I liked, though, I would hate to have to give it up over the paparazzi. Lucky for Jennifer, she must've had someone else with her who could walk Seraphina out so she could walk out alone with her coffee.

New Look For The Holidays!
Posted on December 06, 2013 at 5:00 PM
Julianne Hough posted this picture of her new hairstyle on Instagram. The 'Paradise' star looks like she is happy with her longer locks! While many celebs are going short, Julianne bucked the trend with hair extensions. Here's what she posted on Instagram with the pic:
#changeisgood #longhairdon'tcare #ninezeroone @ninezeroone @riawnacapri @nikkilee901 #thankyoumybeautifulgirls #nofilter #nomakeup #darkeyebrows #yesssssss
So how did Julianne transform her hair? Stylists Riawna Capri and Nikki Lee of Nine Zero One Salon in Hollywood did the work using Great Lengths hair extensions.Available in over 45 shades, Great Lengths hair can be colored, permed, straightened, combed, brushed, and shampooed and last several months! In other words, anything you can do with your own hair, you can do to Great Lengths extensions. Unlike other hair extension systems, the integrity of one's natural strands is never compromised, so the only risk one takes by having them applied is looking better than before. The system ranges from $750-$4,000 depending on the amount of hair used and the desired result.
So if you're looking to change things up for the holidays, here's another option. Are you a fan?

I have tried a ton of different classes but even after I find the type of workout I want to do, I wind up trying a number of different instructors before landing on the one that's right for me. As a result I have found myself getting in a rut and not trying new workouts. To keep myself going I have put together a short list of to-do's before I sign up for a new class! Hopefully these can help others experiencing the same struggle:
- Prior to signing up, research your options online or on Yelp. This way you can get a gist of what students have experienced in the past including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- Make sure to look into whether or not there's any prep work needed upon arrival. For example, if they prefer you to show up to class 10 minutes early, this would be the perfect time to call ahead and check!
- Last but not least, make sure to pick a class that suits your fitness level. From yoga classes to boot camps, this ensures you know what you're getting yourself into!
Hopefully these tips will help end your tiring and strenuous search for the perfect class. As for now, what's the latest workout class you've taken? We want to know!

Research Projects
While many of our breeding projects and trialing programs focus on enhancing the quality of Longwood's displays, other projects tend to serve the broader horticultural audience.
This point is illustrated in our effort to identify newer, more effective propagation techniques. The following examples highlight some of the additional research that we are conducting outside of breeding and trials.

Things they had no idea but I was reading that the numbers have been like box for ten years that's a -- -- -- have no idea he was a good decade -- mistake.
Just in the methodology that is a little bit disconcerting it is a little embarrassing that their mission staff did.
Less of a lot solicited Kucinich is like they said -- eight and whose acts 58 and that's not a little air that's a lot as in the air.
Yes it is Kelly -- back in session on the docket today a school ranking scandal.
You just heard a couple of students from George Washington University.
Reacting to the news that their prestigious school.
Is maybe not so prestigious.
It's now been booted off of the US news and world reports a list of college rankings parents across the country -- this.
And children you know would be college students to decide where -- go to school.
The university losing its spot at number 51.
Now is going to be placed in the unranked category the -- off.
The reason the university has now admitted that it's been missed reporting its statistics for years in fleeting it's standing.
So is there any recourse for the parents who have kids there right now.
And who chose a school based on the false ranking.
Joining me now Joey Jackson former prosecutor now defense attorney and frankly pull a defense attorney.
I was a little error for ten years Chile where instead of the reporting because they have to give these data to US news and world report about how great they are.
And one of the -- that they have to submit.
Is how many freshmen were in the top 10% of their high school classes coming -- -- your university with and they were reporting 78%.
When it was 58%.
That they -- quite funny for.
That's a little bit of a problem -- you know I feel bad for the students who would they -- who relied upon what you could say the either an intentional misrepresentation.
-- are a negligent.
But either way the university.
Should know better and certainly the students in the parents deserve better.
Furthermore I'm -- not only do we get to the issue of negligence or intentional misrepresentation.
But you can also talk about fraud in the inducement -- because these students what induced into attending this university.
Based upon what they were lied to be a ranking that they felt -- substantive.
An accurate now what do we know it was not.
What about those students who want to move on to professional school Brian you know -- were planning to go to law school -- Med school -- -- again another graduate degree.
Who thought they'd be emerging from a new university -- was ranked 51 but now has no ranking and has this -- car of an alleged fraud or at least misrepresentation.
On it.
Met him before talk about the legal part let's talk about the human side is I want to drive clear the other day I walked in front drive -- -- as big banner.
Number one rated dry cleaner in Pasadena California -- -- -- I know why do you look so good lie about it.
That was enjoyable Marty knows my shirt today -- -- a lot of -- right cleared.
What if a dry cleaner is downgraded the number one -- do you think my shirts cannot look any different my comeback by the show you still look bad enough time it exactly and -- -- -- at.
Well okay let's talk about the legal side -- we would live in such a robotic society now it's all data driven.
But from a legal standpoint here you have to show not only an intentional misrepresentation.
But that this students had substantial.
Reliance on that representation which Ali -- show hear -- who would have been investigating.
How many kids.
Coming out of high school -- in the top 10% of class but most important yet to prove a cause and.
And kids -- -- -- -- but the kids mart are relying on the representation that 70% of the kids who go they're finished in the top ten they're relying on.
-- number fifty want to -- US news and world report and their client did that meg university.
As opposed to one that was lower on the list and as it turns out the one it was lower on the list.
Was maybe above GW university and Morgan picked this up right after the break and -- I'm -- Jackson -- -- pull back with me now -- so what about my point that there may be some students who were lied to their detriment.
-- that.
Ranking in choosing GW.
Here's a problem Megan did the ranking shouldn't be much lower than 51 because.
Only 6%.
Of the methodology used by US news and world report.
Is attributed to what we're talking about with the number of students that were coming in from high school in the top 10% cost that's point 6%.
Of the rest of the methodology deals with the credentials of the teachers at GW.
Research endowments.
So that the punishment here doesn't fit the crime there should have been a reduction in the ranking in the first place.
Doesn't think his material he thinks that they reported the real number 58% percent of the students were in the top -- -- has -- -- 70% -- They may be -- be what 52.
I'll either -- -- -- it was just the little lie a tiny lie we should discount it because the lie was it significant.
But -- the -- and a lot of -- reality -- it a while this material because ultimately you're talking about people who are performing academically and high school and here's what the problem is in this particular case.
The beneficiaries of this fraud that existed.
Allegedly over the past and years.
Already presumably set their careers they've already got off to graduate school -- the reliance upon George Washington which is a great school I don't wanna discount that and again I feel bad for the students but their set their careers.
Those who have been hired by major corporations and everything else who knew but now the students who entering and who relied upon what they believed to be an outstanding reputable and -- institution they now both freshman sophomore -- and seniors are going to suffer as a result of this.
Well that's going Rangel getting an argument that that -- and there's a question what did we don't know whether this is intentional or accidental but the faculty are outraged I mean if they're not -- -- road -- sundown -- dot -- -- does -- he's at the law school and he's just so disappointed in them.
But there's a question about what there was an -- and so on.
Make -- tarnished the reputation of the university separate and apart from the ranking and -- part of the reputation of George Washington.
So process I -- a lot of.
-- -- -- -- they they might have tarnished the reputation but here's the fact of the matter I don't think anybody out there to show any any proof of any harm.
As a result of having sent their children to George Washington university and now we're on the workforce and -- can't get a job because G the ranking wasn't right.
I hybrid car -- is a great university make -- you -- you.
Got -- outlook could you possibly can you can make just make something of yourself playing -- Brian let's back.

Started conversation Mar 14, 2004
Hi. has anyone come across a progam called pctheramin? It was featured several years ago on the bbc science for chidrens' page and offered a download for a desktop theramin which was quite amusing. Using your mouse you could change pitch, volume, and play various sound fxs by rolling over some comical graphics.. Sadly it has been lost when we changed pcs but the boys would love to have it back.

Spot on John! Thanks, that will keep the boys happy.
I've never built a genuine theramin, but back when I was a kid we used to build short wave receivers with a feedback reaction control and by advancing this the set would oscillate and hand capacitance would allow you to get the same effect, but without the volume control. I'd always thought the ondes martineau was just the french name for the theramin.
slightly off-thread but this site is interesting if anyone likes strange sound installations www.resoundings.org site of Bill Fontana. Thanks once again.

John the gardener says, "Free Tibet!"
Posted Nov 6, 2004
Apparently, Lenin considered the theramin to be the people's instrument of the future, as (theoretically) any musically illiterate member of the proletariat could simply wave and make music without having to train or understand anything about its underlying principles. He ordered them manufactured in large quantities.
What led to the demise of the theramin, supposedly, was simply that it took too much physical effort to hold your arms out under precise control for long periods at a time.

Posted Feb 22, 2005
There is a free plugin VST intsrument called Mysteron which is a theremin emulator. It's very good and is controllable by midi as well as a mouse. It's a plugin which means it needs a host sequencer in which to run. This too is available as freeware, but it's all maybe a little complicated for the casual user. I can post some links if anyone is interested.
