Press Release
Realistic Free-to-Play Shooting Game "War Inc. Battlezone"
Stunning Shooter from Online Warmongers Launches Open Beta Testing, Joins Top Digital Game Distributors Steam and Xfire
LOS ANGELES, Calif., July 18, 2011 – Independent game developer Online Warmongers Group Inc. today announced that its free-to-play online game "War Inc. Battlezone" has entered open beta testing. Additionally, the company revealed that the game is now available via leading digital distribution platforms Steam and Xfire. The moves give PC gamers worldwide the chance to play one of the most realistic, visually stunning free shooting games on the market. "War Inc. Battlezone" is notably among the first free-to-play (F2P) games available through Steam, the world's largest online game platform with an active user base of over 30 million. Steam added the F2P category to its service last month with a select list of titles.
"We have spent three months in closed beta polishing what we took years to painstakingly develop, a tactical clan-based shooter visually rooted in realism and focused on competition and community driven game play," said Sergey Titov, CEO of Online Warmongers. "As we move into open beta, we want to get the word out to multiplayer shooter fans everywhere that the time has come to change their game."
During the course of pre-beta and closed beta testing, Online Warmongers saw more than 100,000 players from 23 countries join the "War Inc. Battlezone" community. The participation of core and casual shooter fans alongside competitive players helped developers iterate on countless improvements to features, mechanics and balancing. It also helped them establish a skill-based game play environment that isn't prone to cheating or falling prey to the pay-to-win mentality that weighs down other F2P games. Online Warmongers will continue the effort through even more community empowerment during open beta, addressing issues raised by players and actively engaging them in driving content updates and policing the game for fair play.
Online Warmongers is partnered with US-based [a]list games in launching a major marketing campaign for "War Inc. Battlezone" in North America, Europe and Australia. The transition to open beta is being supported by the rollout of limited edition starter packages full of heavily discounted in-game items along with the first of many exciting content updates, the addition of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) to players' arsenals. The UAV update comes on the heels of other major additions to the game's feature set in the final stages of closed beta. These include night missions with destructible light sources and night vision gear, the addition of a 'bomb run' game mode called Sabotage, and abilities such as command user interface and spawn point control aimed at the competitive gaming community. Players can expect more major updates in the coming weeks designed to turn "War Inc. Battlezone" into an ultra-realistic recreation of armed-to-the-teeth modern warfare.
"The experience Online Warmongers is offering can raise expectations and broaden interest in free-to-play games," said Steve Fowler, GM of [a]list games. "They exemplify what's going on in digital games, where the market is now seeing exceptional products that deserve ever bigger audiences, and upstart indie developers who need to have their voices heard in the gaming community."
"War Inc. Battlezone" delivers a premium online game experience in a F2P package, as an addictive 3rd-person shooter punctuated by high production value and a rich, frequently updated set of game features. In the game, players join the ranks of battle-hardened mercenaries, entering a war theatre where up to 64 players can engage in relentless action and intense competition in diverse maps and multiplayer game modes. "War Inc. Battlezone" also features one of the deepest customization systems ever designed for an online shooter, where players get free and immediate access to create persistent characters with a variety of traits then load them out with a wide arsenal of gear and weaponry. Online Warmongers developed the game using the Eclipse Game Engine, a proprietary engine created by its affiliate Arktos Entertainment Group to deliver F2P games that rival the experience players get on HD consoles.
In addition to Steam and Xfire, players can join "War Inc. Battlezone" through IGN's FilePlanet download service or directly through the game's web site at www.thewarinc.com.

Dipster is procrastinating
Only one to go and I've completed the series. Very excited to see who dies :) If Harry dies I won't be happy!!
10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.
- The Robots.
Only one to go and I've completed the series. Very excited to see who dies :) If Harry dies I won't be happy!!
You must let us know how you feel about it, then, when you've finished! ;)
Tiffany have you read it?!? Are you trying to tactifully prewarn me???? Does Harry DIE!!! Oh God the stress!!! ;)
A girlfriend I work with has bought the book, and says that when she reads it I can have it as she doesn't have any of the others and just wanted to read the last one (I know! I tried to tell her she should read them in order but she woudln't have it). Lovely thought other than the fact I want to read it RIGHT NOW and she's such a slow reader!!!! LOL – never mind shouldn't be long now!
Yes- to the first one, at the very least. ;)
That's crazy! One can't just read the seventh book alone and truly appreciate it! I must now go fume in my indignation. :P
LOL! It's alright, just hang on! It's worth the wait! ;)
So how are you coming with reading the final book??
It is well worth the read if you have not started. If you have finished what are your thoughts???
Still waiting for my friend to finish with the final book (she's giving me her copy as she doesn't want it after she's read it). It's killing me LOL – I'd have read it in 2 nights!
Love your picture Happywithme – off to Bali in 2 weeks, and thats exactly what I'm hoping for!
The most beautiful hotel – this shot was from the beach – the blue lines at the bottom are the ends of our lounge chaises. Wishing you an excellent holiday :)

Apple unveils new version of mobile Safari for iOS 7
Apple announced some major changes to mobile Safari in iOS 7. First and most noticeable is a new full-screen look that extends the web page that you are viewing from one edge of your screen to the other. There's also an improvement in search that provides your with a smart search field when you tap at the top of the screen. You also can access all your favorites there as well.
Navigation is improved with a new swiping gesture that'll move you from page to page. A new bookmark control shows bookmarks, shared links and your reading list and a redesigned tab feature shows a scrolling, cover-flow-like view of your open tabs. A tap and hold lets you re-order the tans and a swipe to the side closes them one at a time. You can also see your open OS X tabs at the bottom and are no longer limited to just eight tabs, which is a welcome change.
You can read about additional changes in mobile Safari on Apple's website.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Gonzaga Prep senior and two-way standout Charlie Hopkins has been lost for the rest of the season because of a knee injury, Bullpups coach Dave McKenna confirmed moments ago.
Hopkins (6-foot-7, 265 pounds), who has given Stanford University an oral commitment, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the first quarter against Central Valley last Friday.
Hopkins, a two-year starter at defensive end, is pictured above blocking for running back Bishop Sankey in a game against University earlier this season. He played at left guard and fullback on offense this season.

James Wilson scored his first two tries for Northampton as they continued their perfect start to the Aviva Premiership season with a 24-6 win over Wasps at Franklin's Gardens.
Wilson's double plus 14 points from the boot of Stephen Myler eased the Saints to a fifth victory from their five league matches so far.
Wasps dominated possession in the first half but were ultimately left empty-handed and counting the cost after wing James Bailey - a summer signing from Lyon - was carried off on a stretcher with a suspected broken leg 17 minutes into his first start for the club.
After five minutes of solid defending to open the match, Northampton scored with their first attack as a Wilson combined with Ken Pisi for a scoring move which began inside the Saints' half.
Myler missed the conversion and a subsequent penalty, but at the third attempt made it 8-0 after 12 minutes.
Wasps continued to have most of the ball and eventually got on the scoreboard when Nicky Robinson slotted two penalties through the posts.
Myler replied with three points of his own, though, and - after Northampton lock Samoa Manoa showed his side-stepping abilities to nip past a couple of Wasps tacklers - the fly-half made it 14-6 with another penalty.
On the stroke of half-time Wasps prop Tim Payne was sent to the sin-bin after the video referee was called on. Replays showed Payne dropping his knee on Vasily Artemyev in a ruck, with the home crowd furious a red card was not shown.
After the break Northampton took control and Wilson grabbed his second try of the evening, the New Zealander squirming over after it seemed he had been stopped short of the line. Myler added the conversion.Northampton had gone for the kill when Wasps were a man down but Artemyev, now with his head bandaged, was twice unable to gather offloads inches from the try-line and Soane Tonga'uiha could not quite reach the line after charging out of a ruck five metres from the line.
The visitors survived until Payne's reintroduction but were unable to hold Northampton off for much longer, with Wilson's second try coming in the 55th minute.
Northampton lock Christian Day became the second player to be carried off on a stretcher on 55 minutes with his right lower leg strapped up, while Courtney Lawes and Dylan Hartley also went off injured.
The home side brought Brian Mujati off the bench and the South African tore Wasps' scrum to pieces, winning penalty after penalty to keep the Saints in control as they maintained their impressive start to the season.Aviva Premiership. Click here to bet.

Featured review from Winnie
view more less of this review
wow! this is the best performance i've ever attended through goldstar events, and that says a lot as i am an avid theater attender and on average attend a theatrical performance 1x or 2x a week. i sat on the front row and i was literally inches away from the performers. i bawled like a baby towards the end during several of their emotional scenes. i'm impressed with everything.. from the props, to the writing, to the props, the performers... i cannot be possibly be more pleased.
Lost and Found explores the pain, humor and pathos that people experience when they try to break through each other's defenses and connect truthfully with one another.
John Flynn returns to the theatre after moving into television for the past decade and is proud to make Lost and Found his comeback production.
"I was looking for the right play to bring me back to theatre, and was fortunate to contact John Pollono and read his play. I think he's an undiscovered treasure. So few people are writing plays now and very few indeed write with the heart and the assurance John has. This is a play about longing, about not having what you need. What all the characters are looking for is not just love, but unconditional love, a parent's love or the love of your life. John's play illuminates this shadow world of grown ups. This conflict, 'give to get,' afflicts us all."-John Flynn, director
Director Flynn received his Master's in Theatre from Illinois State University, a BFA from Stephen's College and attended The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

Forget your NCAA pairings for now, Wednesday, March 14 is the last day to vote in round one of the showdown between the company who couldn't fill Black Friday orders vs. the company who couldn't fill Missoni online purchases
Twin Cities-based retailers Target and Best Buy are just two of the companies duking it out for "Worst Company in America," according to the Consumerist, a subsidiary of Consumer Reports. Thirty-two companies were nominated for the dubious distinction, which are selected from Consumerist.com reader submissions.
This is Target's first appearance in the ignominious challenge. Best Buy has "years of experience" being nominated as "worst company," according to Consumerist.
As of Wednesday morning Best Buy was way out in front with 87% of the vote compared to 13% for Target. But nearly 150 people have commented online with complaints and more than a sprinkling of praise for each.
Depending on which retailer "wins" round one, there are 15 other match-ups, including Wells Fargo v. Citigroup, Spirit v. Delta (Twin Citians may want a rematch next year after Spirit starts service in May), Sears/Kmart vs. Wal-Mart, DirecTV v. Dish and Comcast v. Time
You can vote here. Whom did you vote for or do you think nominating Best Buy and Target as worst companies is undeserved?

text: British Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has been cast in upcoming young adult film "Divergent," boosting the profile of the latest adaptation from best-selling novel to the big screen. Film studio Summit Entertainment said on Thursday that Winslet, 37, will play the cold and unlikeable Jeanine Matthews in the film set in a dystopian future. "Divergent," based on the first of a trilogy of novels by Veronica Roth, is set in a society that is divided into five factions that define how a person lives their life. The Abnegation people are selfless while the Erudite devote themselves to a lifelong pursuit of knowledge. Winslet will play the leader of the Erudite, Summit said in a statement. The studio previously announced the casting of rising star Shailene Woodley, 21, and British newcomer Theo James, 28.

In response to "Airport legislation soars through state Senate" (June 12):
Bill lets airport be represented by the region it serves
Charlotte-Douglas airport is an international transportation hub, serving citizens from throughout and beyond our region.
Continuing success will require representation from the entire service area and a governance structure that is appropriate to its mission.
This week's initiative by the N.C. legislature confirms the City's ownership, while providing for representation by other stakeholders.
The City of Charlotte should not want the responsibility for unilaterally determining the level and quality of service for the balance of Mecklenburg and surrounding counties.
Representation by all – what could be more American?
I strongly support the pending legislation as a true win-win for all interested parties.
Thomas A. Dorsey
In response to "Proposal may curtail N.C. lotto" (June 12):
The lottery and education are odd bedfellows once again
There is a certain irony in that the N.C. legislature is proposing to raise funds from the "Education" Lottery, which is a tax on the ignorant, to fund education.
John Huson
I was ready to cheer Republicans in Raleigh
I was so thrilled when Republicans controlled the N.C. House and Senate after so many years – until Bob Rucho and Bill Brawley started an immediate action to control the airport.
Now the Republicans want to start fracking, and tax us further for education.
When we reluctantly agreed to the food tax in the 1960s, Gov. Terry Sanford assured us that with this tax we would have excellent education in North Carolina.
I hope Gov. Pat McCrory will wake up and shake up this party. I'm waiting.
Jane Myerly
In response to "Conservatives like me fed up with Cantor, others like him" (June 12 Forum):
Tea party has a familiar perspective on governance
Apparently one thing Forum writer Jim Cherry wants is a Congress with uncompromising tea party members.
We have a model of that type of governance to observe. It's called the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Not exactly what our founders crafted, through compromise.
John Brewer
The hard lesson from Iraq: America can't change it
Iraq's situation is the result of corrupt leadership, cowardly people and tribal sects. No amount of money, military support, American lives or values will ever change that. Get out, stay out and let Iraq fend for itself.
Ed Carlson
Civil War in Iraq makes me appreciative of freedoms here
Iraq is the battleground for a war between fundamentalist Muslims: Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims. The United States got in the middle of a war between fundamentalist Muslims. Not very smart.
Watching the religious conflict makes me thankful to live in a country that supports freedom of religion. The United States could do a better job of freedom from religion in government spaces, but when compared to places like Iraq, we have much to celebrate.
Rev. Chris Ayers
There's another war Americans should be ready to stop
The climate for hate, like global warming, has detractors and proponents. I think we all know who the proponents are and how they're funded and broadcast.
The evils they believe are insinuated subtly into their lives. The evils they do are forced upon the rest of us, broadly with horrible results.
We stopped a war in Vietnam by sheer force of voice and protest. This other war, inside America, must be stopped as well – now.
Jon Schuller
In response to "N.C.-made chairs rock Open" (June 12):
USGA shows welcome support of North Carolina businesses
Congratulations to the U.S. Golf Association for purchasing 600 of the Troutman Chair Co.'s classic rocking chairs and 250 tables.
I commend them for purchasing wood from local vendors and employing area residents!
Small businesses are catalysts for our nation's economic recovery. Wishing them continued growth and profitability!

Dr Sketchy's
I attended my first Dr Sketchy's. Basically, it's a gesture drawing class with a theme. Sunday's theme was postapocalyptic, and the model was a seriously lovely woman named Danni. Above are from the ten and twenty minute poses-- they started with one minutes, and worked up.
It was a hell of a lot of fun, and I plan to make the monthly Dr S sessions a habit.

Rat Bastard & The Oracle of Wackyland
Here's a couple of recent pieces. Rat Bastard was for a pinball tournament at a local bar. The Oracle of Wackyland was a sketch I liked, so I digitally inked and painted it. Kind of a lowbrow/pop surrealism thing, named for a Bob Clampett cartoon.

Guidance for understanding and communicating about the price of health care.
Guidelines on how to make it easier for consumers to get information about healthcare prices.
Until now, healthcare organizations have structured care delivery and business processes around the needs and requirements of providers and payers, which has resulted in a healthcare environment in which the patient is not the primary customer. It has also led to elevated costs, inefficiencies, and, in some instances, poor quality.
This mindset must change if organizations are to provide greater value. Realistically, shifting care and operations to be more patient-centered is the only way to achieve and sustain value long term.
For many patients, the healthcare experience is fragmented. Different providers and organizations offer care in a vacuum, without coordinating that care with other providers. This siloed approach increases costs and lessens quality—and it frustrates patients, particularly when patients are forced to act as a go-between among providers in addressing complex health issues.
To deliver the level of value needed to maintain long-term financial viability, healthcare organizations must eschew the siloed approach and embrace one that instead supports collaboration and information exchange across the continuum.
New and emerging care models, such as accountable care organizations (ACOs), are slowly pushing healthcare organizations toward greater collaboration. Whether collaborative entities function under one leadership structure or as a group of independent, clinically-integrated organizations, a cooperative care approach can ensure that a patient has easy access to all the resources he or she needs for care. The patient also must be confident that these resources are communicating with one another and keeping the patient's best interests in mind.
Two recent ACO success stories are Banner Health Network and Monarch HealthCare ACO. Both organizations demonstrate improved care and lower costs, although their approaches to achieving success differ. Banner dispatches hospital-trained nurses to patients' homes to address key patient needs, while Monarch provides a care-coordination service for beneficiaries with multiple diagnoses who need assistance with managing their numerous medications and care visits ("Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations Succeed in Improving Care, Lowering Costs," Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. July 16, 2013).
Even if a healthcare organization does not pursue a formalized ACO model, future financial stability will be found only through partnerships with other organizations in the community to coordinate care and share information. For instance, by embedding care managers in a hospital, a provider can ensure that once a patient is discharged, the patient's primary care physician is aware of the discharge and can seamlessly pick up where the hospital left off, offering continuing services that limit the likelihood of readmission and sustain the patient's health long term. These care managers also can act as communication conduits, making sure the hospital and physician practice share data about the patient and the next steps for care, thus reducing costly duplicative services.
For example, Crystal Run Healthcare—a multispecialty group practice located in New York—embedded care managers at a local hospital. The program decreased the 30-day all-cause readmission rate for Crystal Run patients treated at the hospital by 8 percent, benefiting all parties involved (Spencer, G., "Making the Move to an ACO," hfm, February 2014).
Fundamentally, patient-focused care is based on collaboration. Those organizations that continually strive to look outside their four walls and pursue cooperative relationships with other healthcare providers will position themselves to take a large and financially lucrative step toward value.

we also have two and a separate for SIMS. I don't really see the need as theirs only reception and accounts that use the admin side, around 6 computers in total
We have 2 domains here, i'll be demoting the admin network soon as there's nothing running on it, im a fan of running everything on one.
we also have two and a separate for SIMS. I don't really see the need as theirs only reception and accounts that use the admin side, around 6 computers in total
Looking at bringing our two together in summer with VLANs and ACLs to keep classroom PCs away from sensitive data. Will make life easier as it's a single management entity for SCCM, AV, AD etc but as much as it's exciting it also makes me nervous as there's no way for one network to carry on if the other has issues (although you could argue that if it's set up robustly with virtualisation that shouldn't be an issue)
Ours are two seperate servers but they are connected to eachother, mainly for resources and printers, we also run a 2 vlans for admin and curric.
Ok bit of an update
What do you think of this
VM01: CurriculumFileServer (File Server For CurriculumFiles)
VM02: AdminFileServer (File Sever For Admin Files)
VM03: WebServer (Hosts VLE, School & Library Website)
VM04: SCCM (SCCM 2007R3, Forefront)
VM05: StreamingServer (Windows Media Server)
VM06: DeploymentServer (Windows Deployment Services Role)
VM07: PrintServer (Print Server Role)
VM08: Impero (Impero Server & Console)
VM09: Mail (Exchange 2010)
VM10: DC1 (Domain Controller, Spilt FMOS Roles, GlobalCatalog, DNS, Spilt DHCP)
VM11: DC2 (Domain Controller, Split FMOS Roles, GlobalCatalog, DNS, Spilt DHCP)
VM12: AppServer (LexiaServer, Wordshark, Ultrakey)
VM13: SimsServer (Sims/FMS/SQL For Sims/FMS)
VM14: SercoServer (Facility/ePortal/SQL For Facility/ePortal)
WM15: SharePoint (SharePoint 2010)
WM16: SharePointSQL (SQL 2008R2 for SharePoint 2010)
Anything you recommend to change or add?
Would you say its the best for the SQL database for the Secro ePortal/Factility would be better on a seperate server instead of hosting it on the same server? Gussing this would be good idea, due to we can make a clean virtual server when any new SQL Server release comes out, and just transfer the database?
Also if you recommend that, should that be done with the sims/fms database - note only three users use this in the fincance office.
In fact would you recommend any SQL database have its own Virtual Server
The other things we have using SQL is Forefront, WSUS, SCCM, thats all on the same server, thats all so hosting all the software/roles for thoses.
Last edited by pritchardavid; 16th May 2011 at 02:50 PM.
Why not just have the one domain and VLAN your network - we had 3 - 4 VLANS for different people on different networks keeping the admins completely separate from the students in terms of security.
What about proxy server ? - you could host your own virtual proxy with squid & dansguardian unless you go through the LEA's - other than that I'd say you have it covered VM side.

Human beings do not only have their physical anatomy, they also have an important energy anatomy. This human energy field, more often than not referred to as the aura, permeates the body and also surrounds it. The physical body of a person should be regarded as the expression of energy at the highest density level, and is only one of series of bodies which make up the energy anatomy. There are also the so-called 'subtle bodies', which are frequently referred to as emotional, spiritual and mental bodies.
There are various images and descriptions of this energy field to be found in both ancient and modern texts. These models do vary, but many, if not all, describe the human aura as being present in layers. Many traditions, though not all of them, stress the high importance of chakras, which are essentially energy centers aligned within the body, within which important energy exchanges take place. Energy healing positively influences the energy field in order to bring changes for the better into effect.
The ancient art and understanding of energy healing is currently experiencing a revival in the light of today's science. The laying on of hands, performed throughout history and by many cultures, is now being rediscovered and is being formulated into a range of healing techniques that are easily accessible to people either face to face or through remote options, such as the Internet, for example.
Since everything essentially consists of energy, all healing ultimately either directly or indirectly involves energy. The majority of applied healing methods are mainly focused on a patient's physical, emotional and mental levels of life, without any kind of recognition of the underlying deeper energy. Energy healing, on the other hand, works purely with the deeper energetic level of a human being.
Whenever there is a disturbance or an illness in a person's body, emotions or mind, those levels naturally have to be addressed. Energy healing is meant to support and complement other healing methods, rather than replacing them, because it deals with the energy the body, emotions and mind are composed of.
Because everything consists of energy patterns, working directly with this energy influences not only the physical, emotional and mental levels, but also the spiritual level of a person. This form of healing is subsequently holistic by nature and, in short, works through enhancing the energy flow and correcting or balancing disturbances within the human energy field. The improvement of energy flow in this energy field supports the body's self-healing capacity.
Energy healing is itself a part of the much more expansive, comprehensive area of energy medicine. The use of crystals, herbs, scents or sounds are all instances of energy medicine, because they contain specific vibratory patterns, which effectively influence the energy patterns at work within an individual's physiology. Energy healing is unique within energy medicine, because it involves conscious use of a healer's energy field to affect the patient's energy field.

BioDelivery Sciences Announces NDA Submission For BUNAVAIL On Track Following Positive Pre-NDA Meeting With FDA
RALEIGH, N.C., June 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (Nasdaq: BDSI) announced today that it engaged in a positive pre-New Drug Application (NDA) meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding BUNAVAIL for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110217/CL49801LOGO )
The positive outcome of the pre-NDA meeting allows BDSI to maintain its expectation of an NDA filing with FDA for BUNAVAIL in mid-summer 2013 as planned.
This scheduled meeting with FDA regarding the NDA submission of BUNAVAIL was undertaken to review the key data elements for the NDA, which includes data from a positive pivotal bioequivalence study versus Suboxone, an open-label safety study in patients switched from Suboxone film or tablets to BUNAVAIL, and product stability information. As a result of the feedback obtained, BDSI will continue forward with its NDA submission as planned."We are pleased with the outcome of our pre-NDA meeting where we reviewed the key elements of our NDA with the Agency," said Dr. Andrew Finn, Executive Vice President of Product Development for BDSI. "This outcome is allowing us to move confidently forward in finalizing and submitting our NDA." BUNAVAIL utilizes BDSI's proprietary BioErodible MucoAdhesive (BEMA) technology to deliver buprenorphine for the maintenance treatment of opioid dependence, along with the opioid antagonist naloxone, which is intended to serve as an abuse deterrent. BDSI believes BUNAVAIL may offer meaningful advantages over existing treatments and could provide an alternative to the over 2 million people in the U.S. with opioid dependence. Currently, Suboxone is the only available film formulation of buprenorphine and naloxone, with the film formulation generating in excess of one billion dollars in sales in 2012. BUNAVAIL is positioned to be the next film formulation to enter the market. BDSI believes BUNAVAIL has the potential to generate peak sales in excess of $250 million. About BioDelivery Sciences International BioDelivery Sciences International (NASDAQ: BDSI) is a specialty pharmaceutical company that is leveraging its novel and proprietary patented drug delivery technologies to develop and commercialize, either on its own or in partnerships with third parties, new applications of proven therapeutics. BDSI is focusing on developing products to meet unmet patient needs in the areas of pain management and addiction.

June 15, 2011
My Angel with Paws has changed my son's life! Never in a million year would I have ever though that he would be up on a stage speaking to people about his disability. He is now always asking which speaking engagement is next. His dog has opened so many doors for him and shown him that he does have a life outside in the community. He now wants to go to college and to educate people about service animals and how they can change peoples lives...Thank you My Angel with Paws!!!

Love him or hate him, he's spent nearly 32 years as an Oval Office alum.
He was tossed out of office after one term because voters saw him as a weak president in a wobbly economy. Replaced by a political movement and cast aside by his own party, he led an active retirement, doing humanitarian deeds, writing more than two dozen books, and trying to rewrite the reputation that his administration was a failure. Decades later he would address his party's convention on its opening night, drawing cheers as the elder statesman.
Herbert Hoover enjoyed the longest retirement in presidential history, but that record was broken yesterday when Jimmy Carter -- a man whose circumstances echo Hoover's -- marked Day 11,544 as Ex-President Carter.
There was no ceremony. "It's not something that is on our calendar," said Steven Hochman, director of research for the Carter Center, the human-rights nonprofit Carter and his wife founded in 1982. Hochman allowed that "there's some significance to this milestone," but "we're not celebrating it."
Perhaps that's no surprise. Though he is five presidencies removed from office, Carter can still be more lightning rod than elder statesman. When he addressed the Democratic National Convention by video last week, Republican nominee Mitt Romney pounced. "He chose a fitting surrogate," a Romney statement said. Twitter lit up with posts about Iran, high gas prices, and how Carter seemed incongruent with the "forward" theme of President Obama's re-election campaign.
"He remains such a controversial figure," said Julian Zelizer, a professor of history at Princeton University and a Carter biographer. "But like it or not, he re-invented the post-presidency."
Carter, who left the White House in 1981 with a 34 percent approval rating in a Gallup survey, has enjoyed greater public approval in his post-presidency years. Gallup surveys gave him a 45 percent approval rating in 1994, 69 percent in 1999, and 52 percent in 2011. In 1990, an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found him to be as popular as Ronald Reagan, the man who trounced him in 1980. A 2009 C-SPAN survey of historians placed Carter 25th of 42 former presidents (counting Grover Cleveland only once) in terms of leadership qualities -- not exactly FDR and Lincoln territory, but not Buchanan and Harding, either.
Shaking off the 1980 Reagan knockout, Carter immersed himself in human-rights efforts across the globe, monitoring more than 90 elections and seeking solutions to conflicts. He and his wife Rosalynn spend a week each year building homes with Habitat for Humanity. His efforts through the Carter Center have helped bring about the near-eradication of Guinea worm disease, an infection that has afflicted Africa for centuries. He has authored books on the Bible, diplomacy, the Middle East, poetry, and even a novel set in the Revolutionary War.

Canon Solutions America - 5/15/2008Océ Introduces New Entry-Level, High-Quality Large Format Color Plotters
May 15, 2008. Trumbull, CT - Océ, an international leader in digital document management and delivery
solutions, introduces two new color plotters to complement the existing Océ TCS large format color portfolio -
the new Océ CS2224 and Océ CS2236. The Océ CS2224 and Océ CS2236 are ideally suited for very low
volume users seeking an affordable plotter to produce high quality, large format color CAD and GIS prints. The
Océ CS22xx series replaces the Océ CS2124 and Océ CS2136 color plotters.
The 24-inch width Océ CS2224 and the 36-inch width Océ CS2236 are designed for users in very low volume
environments that demand high quality 2400 x 1200 dpi printing of their technical color applications – line
drawings, renderings, GIS aerials - and business/consumer graphics.
Vice President of Marketing, Wide Format Printing Systems division of Océ North America, Sal Sheikh,
commented: "The addition of these two new color plotters enhances the Océ range of color print solutions for
technical documents. Whether users need very low volume, low volume, mid-volume or production color, Océ
has a high quality, cost effective print solution to meet their needs."
Océ CS2224 and Océ CS2236 Highlights
Excellent Quality for a Variety of Applications
With 2400 x 1200 dpi print resolution for technical CAD/GIS color, the new Océ CS22xx plotters deliver brilliant,
consistent quality for a wide range of applications. Line accuracy, sharp detail and subtle transitions are
achieved with a very small drop size (4 picoliter) and large color gamut via dye ink (CMY) and high density
pigment ink for black (4 color, 6 ink tanks). Océ pre-defined settings provide the user with one-touch printing
and right-the-first-time results.
Bundled Software Improves Overall Productivity
ONYX® CAD-Pro v7 software is now included with every Océ CS22xx plotter. This RIP (Raster Image Processor)
software provides a single hot folder for each print quality mode with automatic file recognition for true "drag and
drop" capability of HPGL, HPGL (2), and HPRTL files. An upgrade to ONYX GraphicsPro software adds the
ability to output Adobe® PostScript® and raster files directly to the plotter.
Very low volume solution for any output
The new Océ CS2224 and Océ CS2236 are very low volume, entry-level color inkjet plotters that pack
uncompromising print quality and reliability into competitively priced offerings. Customers benefit from the ability
to print a wide array of technical CAD/GIS color and business/consumer graphic applications on one device.
These compact, economic plotters combine the intuitive nature and consistent, easy-to-use, high quality output
that is standard with all Océ products. Users can therefore spend their time focusing on more important business
tasks and trust their color print applications will be produced correctly the first time, every time.

Kona Grill, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2010 Results
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 10, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kona Grill, Inc. (Nasdaq:KONA), an American grill and sushi bar, today reported results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Fourth Quarter 2010 Highlights
- Opened a new Kona Grill in Baltimore, Maryland
- Restaurant sales increased 11.2% to $22.2 million
- Same-store sales increased 6.4%
- Restaurant operating profit margin of 12.0%
"Our team delivered solid top-line results this quarter, including a 6.4% increase in same-store sales, helping us end the year on a strong note," said Marc Buehler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Kona Grill. "We have enjoyed increased momentum over the past several months, driven by various marketing and menu improvement initiatives."In fact, the fourth quarter of 2010 was also the fourth consecutive quarter in which we experienced positive traffic trends, which we believe demonstrates the strength and increasing popularity of our brand. We believe these strong results have laid the foundation for achieving profitability in 2011." Fourth Quarter 2010 Financial Results Restaurant sales increased 11.2% to $22.2 million from $20.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The improvement reflects a 6.4% increase in same-store sales, as well as additional revenue from the new Kona Grill in Baltimore, Maryland, and incremental sales from the Company's Tampa, Florida restaurant opened in November 2009. This compares to flat same-store sales in the prior quarter and an 8.1% decrease in the fourth quarter of 2009. Average weekly sales for the 21 restaurants in the comparable base were $70,900 during the fourth quarter of 2010, compared to $66,600 in the same year-ago period. Average weekly sales for restaurants not in the comparable base were $57,300 during the fourth quarter of 2010 versus $57,200 in the same year-ago period. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $0.5 million, or $0.05 per share compared to a net loss during the fourth quarter of 2009, excluding asset impairment and special charges, of $1.6 million, or $0.18 per share (see reconciliation of net loss excluding asset impairment and special charges below). Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $19.2 million, or $2.10 per share, including $16.9 million, or $1.85 per share, of non-cash asset impairment charges for underperforming restaurants and $0.7 million, or $0.07 per share, for special charges, including separation costs and legal fees associated with the Company's ongoing shareholder derivative suit.

Putting this engine together is a lot of fun and very challenging.It took me about 5 hours to complete the engine. The instructions are quite good but a couple of the steps had no pictures and made things quite difficult at times.The assembly can be quite complicated and is very fiddly at times. This is not a kids toy and I feel young kids would find it incredibly difficult to complete the assembly.If you like difficult puzzles and model building kits then I would strongly recommend this. Its really fun and once completely the engine makes an interesting ornament.

Member since
I was SO EXCITED to get these boots in the mail but when I got'em I realized MY feet really wasn't made for these boots... the boots were EXTREMELY WELL made, VERY COMF, but it just wasn't made for my feet. (I have really narrow feet with high arch's, even with the boot fully tightened, pumped; it still didn't fit right...) to me, boots are the MOST important piece of the snowboarding puzzle.(I've been ridin' since 1987 so I know what I'm doin' out there.) so the hunt for the "perfet boots continues...
p.s.: this site is one OF THE BEST gear sites out there!!! I just wished I didn't have to pay for the return shipping charges...
