text: Strong Woman is a dark purple with subtle pink-red undertones. It has opaque coverage with a matte finish, but it is a creamier matte, so it doesn't drag on the lips. I suspect MAC Up the Amp is the closest dupe for this shade–I believe it is less red-toned, a little grayer in a way. MAC Seasoned Plum is lighter, less red-toned. MAC Violetta is brighter and iridescent. MAC Heroine is pinker, more magenta.

I'm getting rid of my ak-builder.com flat bending jig. I've made 10 receivers with it and I think I'm done with AKs for now. It's the one that you need to hammer the rails. It's in great shape with a lot of life left in it. There are some hammer scratches and minor, minor dings on it.
$75 plus $20 shipping in the lower 48 (it's heavy and I'm sure it'll cost me more)
Thanks for looking!

A Goose Creek High student has signed with a local manufacturer as part of the Lowcountrys inaugural Youth Apprenticeship Program.
Coleman Padgett is one of 11 juniors and seniors from six Lowcountry high schools and the only from Berkeley County to become apprentices through the program.
Padgett joins three other students from Stall and West Ashley high schools to apprentice for IFA Rotorion of Ladson. The North America division is a direct supplier of propshafts for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
Local manufacturers, the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce, high schools in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties, and Trident Technical College created the European-style apprenticeship program to grow the next generation of highly skilled workers for the resurgent manufacturing sector.
The students will work as paid industrial mechanic apprentices at Bosch, Detyens Shipyards, Hubner Manufacturing, IFA Rotorion and VTL Group starting this August.
Students will take high school classes in the morning and TTC industrial mechanics courses for dual credit in the afternoon twice a week. They will also receive paid on-the-job training through mentored employment throughout the year.
To ensure that all of the students who applied had an equal opportunity to participate in the program, the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce offered to provide scholarships for every apprentice student. The scholarships will cover the entire cost of tuition and books.
By the time the students complete their two-year apprenticeships, they will have earned a high school diploma, an Industrial Mechanics certificate from Trident Tech, a journeyman credential from the U.S. Dept. of Labor, and two years of paid work experience.
Trident Tech plans to expand the manufacturing apprenticeship program next year and add new apprenticeships in other sectors. The college is already working on new youth apprenticeship programs in machining and information technology. The college says it can create apprenticeships in any sector where there is a need.
Companies interested in creating apprenticeships should contact Mitchell Harp, Trident Techs director of apprenticeships, at 843-574-6979. Students interested in participating as an apprentice for the 2015-2016 school year should contact Melissa Stowasser, Trident Techs director of high school programs, at 843-574-6312.

A degree in interdisciplinary studies provides not only a solid academic foundation for students but offers unparalleled opportunities to explore more than one discipline. This approach draws on the strengths of multiple fields, making students more well-rounded critical thinkers who are ready for the job market or bigger academic pursuits.
This degree is for the student who is interested in a variety of areas and isn't content on settling for just one discipline. It's the best of both worlds – are you interested in art, dance, and music?  What about history, political science, and psychology? Combine your passions and create a degree path that works for you.
UALR offers an undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies, an online undergraduate degree in interdisciplinary studies, and a master's degree in interdisciplinary studies.

Changes in legislation are not enough on their own. Attitudes need to continue to get better as well... we want LGBT people in this country to be more visible and be proud of who they are. Alex Salmond, First Minister, 'It Gets Better' video message, 11 October 2011
The creation of the Scottish Parliament over a decade ago provided an opportunity for us to shape a country built on tolerance and fairness, at ease with difference. Since then it has delivered some notable legislative protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Scots, including strong hate crime legislation, the introduction of civil partnerships and adoption laws. Our research shows that the majority of Scots support what has been done to secure equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and that they strongly support going further still.
The research also shows the scale of the challenge we continue to face; three in five people say there is public prejudice against LGBT people in Scotland today and six in ten people in Scotland aged 18 to 29 say there was homophobic bullying in their school. We may pride ourselves in being a welcoming nation but at Stonewall Scotland we suspect that the experience of many LGBT Scots is very different. Thankfully, Scots believe this sort of behaviour is not good enough and it is right to tackle prejudice wherever it is found.

Dr. Mark Schuler has been teaching religion and theology at Concordia since 1994. Schuler passes on his passion for Biblical Greek and the New Testament to Concordia students in the classroom, and gives members of the community a first-hand account of Biblical times through his ongoing archaeological research project at Hippos of the Decapolis in Israel. Since 2001, Schuler has led annual trips to the Hippos Excavations, giving Concordia students and any interested community members the rare opportunity to be part of an excavation team. The Concordia team works alongside partners from the University of Haifa to uncover the ancient city of Hippos.
Since joining the faculty at Concordia in 1994, Schuler pioneered classroom and other educational uses of information technologies. He served as Director of Internet Services as the university transitioned into a laptop campus. Among his many publications is Called by the Gospel: An Introduction to the New Testament, with Michael Middendorf. Schuler is a member of the American Schools of Oriental Research, the American Institute of Archaeology, and the Society of Biblical Literature, for which he served as the coordinator of the Upper Midwest Region from 2003-08. His transition to collegiate education came after eight years of experience as a pastor at Lutheran congregations in Iowa and Missouri.
Biblical Greek, New Testament, Greek readings, archaeology, Christianity and Islam
"Since 2001, I have been the director of the Northeast Insula Project at Hippos of the Decapolis, on a mountain overlooking the Sea of Galilee. Taking students to the land where Jesus walked and introducing them to the thrill of archaeological discovery are academic and spiritual highlights for them and me."
Mark Press is the oldest of four sons born to the late Rev. & Mrs. Gottfried (Doris) Press. (Two of his brothers have also entered their eternal rest.) Having been born in Michigan, he still carries loyalties for the Wolverines, the Lions and the Tigers. Since coming to Minnesota, he has enjoyed seeing some of his favorite teams in action – without the high competition for tickets found in certain areas of the country. Mark and his wife Connie (a Yankees and Packers fan through no fault of her own – having been raised in Iowa) have raised three children. Sarah is a teacher and wife of a pastor (Rev. Brian Stolarczyk) in Wisconsin, and her sons Raymond and Luke are lights in the Presses' sky. Son Jeremy will be clerking for a Federal District Court judge in Dallas and subsequently will work for a corporate litigation law firm in Chicago. Nathan, youngest of the Press kids, is married and working in NW Indiana, where he and his wife Natalie (both Valparaiso University graduates) are living and raising three dogs.
Mark served for nearly 30 years as parish pastor in churches in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana. During those years, he developed a passion for church planting, which resulted in pursuit of a PhD in Missiology. He is a "system product," having gone to LCMS schools all the way from first grade through his doctoral degree. In his current role he is privileged to work with university students (undergrad and graduate level), encouraging them in Christian outreach, to work with various partners in training outreach leaders, and to influence the university campus (and beyond) for the kingdom of Christ.
Missiology, Theology, Lutheran theology, Religious studies
"One of my favorite memories has to do with the founding of a Lutheran high school in Jackson County, Indiana. I had tried to initiate something along those lines early in my ministry in Seymour, but my attempt (through pastors and principals) fell flat! A few years later, a layman from a local congregation came to me with the desire, vision and commitment to continue working toward that goal, and through the Spirit's direction, one man's capable leadership (and some supportive help from many others, including me) that high school came to be. Not only that, but it has flourished and today boasts 144 students and 15 supporting congregations. The support of area people recently resulted in a dinner auction that had over 500 in attendance – and raised $200,000 for the work of God's kingdom through Trinity Lutheran High School. We dare not sell short the power of God's baptized children who are blessed with a vision!"

Hope and Liam argue about his Steffy video, Wyatt moons over Hope, and Brooke and Quinn discuss their children's love lives.
At Bikini Bar, a drunken Wyatt chats to the bartender about holding a diamond worth $100,000,000 million in his hand that night and not even looking at it. Wyatt thinks about asking Hope to give him time and telling her he wanted to give her a huge diamond one day.
In Big Bear, Liam emerges from the bedroom to find Hope watching his video tribute to Steffy on her tablet. She asks if he knows what it is. He says he made it and fiddles around with the tablet, finding that the sender doesn't exist. Liam explains that Steffy saw Hope's video and asked for one too. Hope is perturbed that he did it. He shrugs that it was a favor. Hope says it was the woman he married. They end up bickering. Liam doesn't understand the problem - Steffy just wanted a keepsake. Hope says she could have made it herself. She wonders if Liam's ever said no to her. They argue over whether Steffy sent the email. Hope says even now, Steffy is a factor in their relationship - nothing's changed. She tells Liam it's the machinery behind the video that's a four-alarm fire. She thinks the message is that Steffy can have him back when she wants him. Liam insists that Steffy's gone, but Hope's not buying it. She won't ignore the warning signs yet again. Hope leaves.
Pam and Eric are chatting in the Forrester corridor when they come upon Quinn on the phone trying to track down Wyatt. As Pam mans the phones, Brooke arrives with flowers. She hands a bouquet to Quinn, for her and Wyatt being such an asset. When Eric and Pam step away, Brooke tells Quinn she realizes she thinks Hope's making a terrible mistake. Quinn replies that she hasn't made it yet. Brooke muses that Wyatt must have been hoping it would be his and Hope's night, but it turned out to be her and Liam's night. Quinn remarks that Liam is passive - saying yes to everyone. Brooke sighs. She knows Quinn is disappointed on Wyatt's behalf, but doesn't think she can do anything about it. Brooke broaches the idea of them becoming friends. They share a laugh about Bill. Quinn shares how all Wyatt wanted to do when he was little was count the money in her studio. She adds that she genuinely wants Hope to be happy. Brooke takes a call from Hope saying she's coming back alone. Brooke tells Quinn.

Everyone was polite. There were other clients in at the time so the agent had to take us both up together; he did a good job of making both parties feel like their needs were being met.

we have previously stored items at another facility and the difference is just amazing. Uncle Bob's is so clean and neat I feel as if you eat off the floors. The two men who took care of us when we purchased our locker could not have been anymore professional and courteous. We were blown away for the customer service, cleanliness and pricing.Candie from Rolling Meadows, IL

Zaul and Tracy are absolutely wonderful. They go out of their way to give me the best service, and they are so friendly and helpful. It's great to know that I'll always be met with smiles when I visit Uncle Bob's. I cannot say enough good things about them. Thank you!Samantha from Chicago, IL

The onsite manager is a life saver. he has gone above and beyond for me. He has helped me with several moves during very stressful times. I worked for a book company so was frequently working out of my storage units, sometimes alone during very late hours and I never felt unsafe. I have rarely if ever even seen a bug or spider in the entire facility, which is near impossible! I just can't say enough about the Lake Forest facility's service and its all because of him. I havent met anyone else at Bobs that works to this caliber. He is truly dedicated.Sophia from Lake Forest, IL

In a move that most certainly will make her dad's day, Francesca Eastwood has been named Miss Golden Globe 2013 by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
The daughter of Clint Eastwood and actress Frances Fisher, Francesca, 19, appeared in her first film when she was 2, and has been around Hollywood her entire life – attending her first Golden Globe show when she was only 8.
She says she's a little nervous about making her debut as she helps to escort award winners on and off stage. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are hosting the show Jan. 13.
"I'm a little worried, maybe, about falling over or doing something like that," she told PEOPLE at a Globe's party held Thursday at Cecconi's in West Hollywood. "I do not want to wear a ball gown, but I think that really fancy dresses are reserved for the nominees. I'm planning on something simple that won't make me fall over."
Eastwood, who has been seen this year on the first season of E!'s Mrs. Eastwood & Company, expresses admiration for her mother's career. But her accomplished dad hasn't – as some might expect – advised her on working in the entertainment business, she said.
"My dad's advice is more father-daughter advice, and it's not necessarily acting advice," she said. "It's more like, 'Always believe in yourself,' and, 'Don't get caught up in the wrong crowd.'"
Previous Miss Golden Globe honorees have included Rumer Willis, Laura Dern, Melanie Griffith and Joely Fisher.

One of the recent trends in technology is the movement toward software-defined networks (SDN). With SDN, networking is no longer tied to a specific proprietary device but rather integrated via software. GoGrid has adopted this software defined networking architecture for its new product offerings starting with Dynamic Load Balancers and now with our new Firewall Service.
SDN typically means that the control plane is separated from the forwarding plane and is centralized. This setup is easier to manage and enables a more distributed system. In addition, management of the network is typically programmatic with SDN. In GoGrid's architecture, for example, management is centralized while the activities are distributed. This design allows for greater resiliency and self-healing capabilities, meaning there's always a way to return a failed distributed node to its previously stable state. We also enable access to these services via our management console and a public RESTful API.
Although most people think of SDN as it applies to the core (switches and routers), GoGrid's strategy has been to start at the edge and then work toward the core. Dynamic Load Balancers and the Firewall Service are considered to be on the network edge. However, other services closer to the core, such as Private Network Automation (PNA), have adopted this architecture as well. Details about the Dynamic Load Balancer are explained in this previous blog post.
Firewall Service
GoGrid is introducing a new Firewall Service designed to be self-healing and available to all customers in all our data centers. Customers can deploy this service through the management console or API. Having a Firewall Service available to all our customers is an important step in further securing infrastructure in the cloud. Although GoGrid has secured its data centers and has built-in security measures to protect our customers' infrastructure, our customers want greater granular control of port access for their individual servers. Our new Firewall Service is designed to meet and exceed those needs by making it easy to set up security wherever Cloud Servers are located.
This service comes with several key features: (more…) «Software Defined Networking on the Edge»

Mac and iOS development team Panic announced today in a company blog post that the next major version of its Coda web development tool would not be coming to the Mac App Store. The reason? App Store apps need to be sandboxed (a security feature in OS X that doesn't let apps modify data outside of their designated "sandboxes"), and Coda 2.5 simply doesn't work as a sandboxed app.
According to Panic, Apple worked with the developers as much as possible to provide temporary exemptions and workarounds that could help alleviate some of the issues encoutered, but ultimately the decision was made to only release the update through the Panic website.
There's nothing for App Store users to worry about, though. Panic has created an easy transition path to get from the App Store version (2.0.14) to the upcoming 2.5 build. Customers who currently have the App Store version installed just need to leave it in place. When version 2.5 is released through the Panic website, those customers just need to download it and run it. The app will automatically detect the previously-purchased App Store version and activate itself.
The update is also introducing a new syncing mechanism called Panic Sync that will replace iCloud in all of Panic's apps. This is because iCloud compatiblity is only available to apps sold through Apple's official channels. Since Coda 2.5 won't be able to use iCloud to sync with other devices, the company has built its own syncing solution.
The developers are hopeful that someday the app will be able to return to the App Store, but until they've found a way to work around all of the issues sandboxing creates, the app will only be available on the company website. Since the upgrade path for App Store users is in place, you can get the current App Store build of Coda 2 for $79.99 now and get the upgrade from Panic when it becomes available.

i dont understand why a web coding application can't be sandboxed….
Uhm, you could read the supplied links in which another links resides where your question is answered. http://www.panic.com/blog/coda-and-sandboxing/
A: File access.
more info on sandboxing problems here:
Seriously? You can't see why a program that works on websites, which are made up of webpages, graphics, scripts, and css, can't run well in a sandbox?
Let me give you an idea of how I work on a website and hopefully that will give you some idea of why an app like Coda can't do its job from inside of a sandbox, as Apple is implementing it now.
I will setup a server like Apache or NGinX on my computer as a local testbed. These servers will designate a folder as the root. All files that run on this server need to be in this folder (a gross simplification but close enough). Now, I fire up my web editor program, like Coda, and start making pages. But, if Coda is sandboxed then I don't have access to that folder, or if I do then the pages that I make are sandoxed to Coda. Which means that if I want to run my javascript through a minifying program that program won't have access to any javascript pages that I wrote in Coda. How will Coda get access to any of the graphics that I made for the page? Can I access any of the css pages that I roughed out in Coda with more robust CSS programs for final tweaking?
The problem with Apple's sandboxing is the false belief that any file will only need to be accessed by a single program. And therefore, it is feasible to limit access to that file to a single program. And working around the siloing of data by copying it from program to program is terrible. Not only is it incredibly wasteful of space it creates a versioning nightmare.
Apple's sandboxing will only be partially practical as a security feature until they figure out a way to make the data siloing feature practical to people doing realistic work with files. Work where a single file has to be accessible from multiple programs.
Ah…what did he say? 😕
What are you talking about? That is not how sandboxing in OS X works, at all. What it means is that the user specifically has to select through a dialogue (or any other way of actively opening files) which root directories the sandboxed application is to have permission to access.
The problem is that a sandboxed application can't access any files that the user hasn't specifically granted access to, which means that you can't for example implement a complete file browser for directories outside the authorised directories. Sandboxed applications are also not allowed to do certain file operations and can't be granted root or sudo access.
and they don't need to give 30% away, no brainer.
Coda has far more serious productivity issues to resolve / implement before it becomes a proper coding tool.
I've been a full-time web-developer since 05. Compared with Netbeans, Coda may be sexier and stylish but its functionality is way lesser (at least Coda 2, which I tried 3-4 months back). It's lacking some basic stuff proper IDEs (Netbeans, Eclipse etc) have.
So, I'm not sure why I should shell out $75 for something like that. I hope I'm proven wrong…
I would not compare Coda to Netbeans…..WebStorm is a much better IDE to compare it to.
I'm using Coda v. 1.7.5 still. It was a last version before migration to AppStore and I don't understand why Panic can't offer upgrade to new version for good price? Why they are don't respect old users?

Wow. Pretty awesome! What beautiful work! I'm totally looking forward to the new year and lots more craft time (I finally have my own sewing room!)
Thanks for inspiration - I'm using your baby girl railways pattern for my daughter's "baby" quilt. She's not exactly a baby anymore, but I'm still going to make it.
Happy New Year!

BPO Music Director to Address Hilbert Class of 2012
Longtime volunteers to be honored for international humanitarian work
- Release Date:
- April 24, 2012
- Contact:
- Matt Heidt, email@example.com
- 716-926-8792
HAMBURG, N.Y. -- JoAnn Falletta, music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra who has been acclaimed by The New York Times as "one of the finest conductors of her generation," will be the commencement speaker at Hilbert College's 51st annual commencement ceremony taking place at 1 p.m. May 12 in the Wesleyan Church of Hamburg. Falletta will also be presented an honorary doctorate of humane letters.
In other distinguished honors, Hilbert College Medals, which are presented to those "who embody Franciscan values, demonstrate excellence in their profession or career, and excellence in community service," will be presented to Dr. William and Dawn Maher in recognition of their humanitarian efforts for the impoverished people of the Dominican Republic through their volunteerism with the organization Jesse's Children. The Hilbert College President's Medal, one of the highest honors bestowed by the college, will also be formally announced at commencement.
JoAnn Falletta
Hilbert President Cynthia Zane, Ed.D., will confer bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees, as well as associate in applied science and associate in arts degrees to nearly 235 graduates in the Class of 2012. Baccalaureate graduates will receive degrees in accounting, business administration, computer security and information assurance, criminal justice, digital media and communication, English, forensic science/crime scene investigation, human services, liberal studies, paralegal studies, political science, psychology, and rehabilitation services.
Marking her 13th season as BPO's music director, Falletta has been credited with bringing the orchestra to a new level of national and international prominence. In 2009, for the first time in its history, the BPO won two Grammy awards for best classical performance and best classical composition for its CD "John Corigliano: Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan; Three Hallucinations."
Falletta, who also serves as music director of the Virginia Symphony Orchestra, has received many prestigious conducting awards, and she was honored in 2008 by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) with her 10th ASCAP Award. Most recently, she was appointed to serve as a member of the National Council on the Arts, the advisory body of the National Endowment for the Arts.
Hailed by ASCAP as a "leading force for the music of our time," Falletta has introduced more than 400 works by American composers, including over 80 world premieres. She has also embarked on a multi-year recording project of the lost works of Marcel Tyberg, a brilliant Austrian composer and Holocaust victim.
What's more, the JoAnn Falletta International Guitar Concerto Competition has brought international acclaim and attention to the classical guitar, the Buffalo region and the BPO.
A member of the Western New York Women's Hall of Fame, Falletta has been named Buffalo and Erie County's Artist of the Year, inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame, and earned a star on Norfolk's Legends of Music Walk of Fame in recognition of her impact on the appreciation of classical music in Hampton Roads and Virginia.
Falletta received master's and doctorate degrees from The Juilliard School and an undergraduate degree from the Mannes College of Music.
Hilbert College Medal recipients are Hamburg residents Dr. William Maher, a retired oral and maxillofacial surgeon, and his wife, Dawn, a surgical assistant and currently a client service manager at Scheff Thompson Cress Investment Group.
For the past 25 years, the Mahers have been at the forefront of serving some of the poorest people in the Dominican Republic through health, economic and education outreach programs provided by Jesse's Children. During their more than two decades of dedicated efforts, the Mahers have helped to build and support the Elizabeth Seton Nutrition Center for malnourished children, participated in airlifts of medical, hospital, dental, and hurricane relief supplies, and built wells to bring clean water to Dominicans, among many other life-changing projects.
Beyond this, over the past five years, in coordination with Hilbert Professor Daniel Roland, the Mahers have led the college's Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) members on volunteer missions to the Dominican Republic. Since this international service learning opportunity was established under the guidance of the Mahers, Hilbert SIFE members have coordinated and been actively involved in a number of community and business-oriented projects that have helped improve the lives of residents in some of the poorest regions of this island nation.
Top student awards that will be presented at Hilbert's 51th commencement will include the:
Christopher Holoman, Ph.D., Hilbert provost and vice president for academic affairs, will serve as master of ceremonies for commencement exercises. The benediction and invocation will be given by Sister Sharon Goodremote, FSSJ, college board trustee.
A reception for graduates, guests and others in attendance will be hosted by Hilbert President Zane in the Wesleyan Church atrium immediately following the graduation program.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
This week, I am on the ground in Italy where startup savvy policymakers are experimenting with new policies as fast as their startups are testing disruptive ideas. Both are racing in tandem to restore sustained economic growth to the Italian economy.
It has now been more than a year since the United States Congress restarted efforts to overhaul the nation's immigration laws. Despite expected resistance from conservatives, the effort looked promising initially, with strong support from business, labor and President Obama. It was disappointing news for many when John Boehner, Speaker of the House of U.S. Representatives, conceded last week in a news conference that it is going to be politically difficult to move the overhaul forward this year.
As the day starts in Washington, DC, we are concluding the first of day of the 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Congress
. The entrepreneurship communities from 153 countries gathered to bond on their common cause to unleash new ideas, remove roadblocks and solve problems in almost every imaginable realm. Following a welcome from Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the GEC kicked off with thousands of delegates at the Research + Policy Summit.
Of the nearly 4,000 delegates from 153 nations signed up for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) next week in Moscow, a large number are traveling from Latin America. The region's startup ecosystems are now firmly part of the global entrepreneurship grid and with such strong delegations expected from cities like Medellín, Santiago and Buenos Aires, it is clear they don't want there to be any doubt around the world about it.
I have just returned from the Global Entrepreneurship Congress (GEC) where this year over 5,000 people gathered from 153 countries to talk about starting and scaling new firms. Of note this year was the fact that the gathering was held in Moscow at a time of geopolitical tension around Crimea. Given that the Olympics in Sochi attracted less than 100 nations, the GEC last week provided clear evidence of the powerful role entrepreneurs now play on the global stage.
Turmoil in Ukraine prompted me to take a look at the entrepreneurial health of some other post-Soviet nations in the region. This week, we take a look at Uzbekistan.

When both the driver's seat and shotgun seat are occupied in an automobile, additional passengers have no choice but to ride sole, another name for sitting in the backseat.
"I call shotgun!"
"Shit, I guess I'm stuck riding sole."

To perform a Sole is when you ignore everthing and everyone. Nothing in the world matters in that particular situation you perform a Sole.
Your friends try to reach you by either text-message or phone, and you perform the Sole by simply not answering or calling back untill you feel like it.

Whether it's a puppy or an older dog learning manners or a new trick, there is an appropriate training class for any canine. Charleston Animal Society and the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission (CCPRC) are introducing a new series of programs that provide obedience training for dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Starting Sept. 8, Charleston Animal Society will host two seven-week courses at Mount Pleasant Palmetto Islands County Park that help teach your best friend real life skills and tricks.
Training sessions for two different age groups will be led by C.C. Casale, behavior and training manager at Charleston Animal Society. Classes will be held every Sunday starting Sept. 8 continuing through Oct. 20, and will run again Oct. 27 – Dec. 8.
The Smart Puppy session is for ages 16 weeks and up and focuses on teaching basic puppy skills. The Smart Puppy class will teach young dogs socialization, puppy manners and the promotion of good habits, all in a safe, structured environment. "Must-have" skills like bite inhibition, loose leash walking, and basics such as sit, down, stay and trade (drop it) will be introduced, along with social time. Classes will also lay the foundation for a strong dog-owner bond and build trust.
"Puppies are sponges," says Casale, a professionally certified trainer. "Make the most of this important formative period in your pup's life and choose to do the very best for their future by teaching them good habits from the start. Early training provides your four-legged family member the best chance to become a fun, confident adult dog."
Smart Puppy will be held on Sundays at 3 p.m. The first class, held on Sept. 8, will be for humans only.
Designed for non-aggressive, non-reactive dogs 20 weeks of age and up, Real Life Basics is the second offering in Charleston Animal Society's dog instruction series. This class will teach owners and dogs skills useful in real life scenarios. Owners will gain a deeper understanding of how their canine companions learn, and build a stronger relationship with their dog. Skills practiced will include lying quietly, staying by the owner's side while passing others, waiting at an open door, and jumping in and out of a vehicle on cue. This class is intended to be fun while helping make real life easier for dog owners.
Real Life Basics will be held on Sundays at 4 p.m. The first class, held on Sept. 8, will be for humans only.
All classes in this Charleston Animal Society series will be held at the Sweet Gum Shelter at Mount Pleasant Palmetto Islands County Park. Dogs must have received a full series of vaccinations to participate, and records must be brought to the first class. The first class of each program is a mandatory orientation for humans only. Fees for each seven-week class are $154 ($140 for Charleston County residents who register in advance). A Charleston Animal Society waiver must also be completed by participants.
For more information or to register for Charleston Animal Society's dog training classes, visit www.ccprc.com or call 843-795-4386.

But you don't even need to - we are in a forum. We have special words for it - flaming, baiting, trolling.
Or in game, by stalking and harassing someone in PvP ganking him all the time and calling noob and whatnot.
Why do you think game tournaments like SC2 forbid communication beyond GG? Or in sports players calling names to each other, pinching them, etc. don't some sports even have players that are specialized into causing rukus?
Even the AI can make you just wish to smash them into pulpy bits..
Any mob that make annoying noises, CC you constantly, make your abilities harder to use, dodge your attacks, even if it isn't the guy dealing the most damage to you can make you focus on them.
Do you play GW2? Princess dolls were a pain in the ass, screaming and casting confusion on you.
It is possible and could be acceptable in RPGs if it wasn't all the time and if it wasn't based on someone being able to reduce the damage to nothing. But as a factor alongside many, sure why not?

Meanwhile, my buddy broke 17(!) beer bottles over the guy's head while his back was turned. Eventually, one of the bottles knocked him out cold. He never even turned around to see who was hitting him because my insults were that mean.
Okay, that never happened. To anyone. Ever.

That is a problem with tanks, they can take a ridiculous amout of damage compared to anyone else - the first bottle should make him dizzy your and draw aggro to your friend.
Or maybe he just had his bike helmet on.

"Antherea Online will see the light, eventually"
as a person who has tasted more RTS than MMOs, i would say that an strategic approach is necessary, okai we can come with the idea of the infantry/chivalry/archery but in the battlefield (specially if you're playing something akin to the medieval fantasy warfare) you would have to deal not only with a basic trinity, but also those who boost your morale, the siegers, and other roles for a battlefield.
now i expect an idiot to come with the excuse of "yeah we need things like chefs and medics in the battlefield", and the answer for me is "depends on the realism", now if you want to stay with the same boring 3 way system, well there's plenty of themepark mmos there. if you want something middle grounded we have Lineage II or Aion. but if you want to see a real battle with lots of people i would say we need a new MMO, something akin to EVE Online, i mean, a huge unified shard, capable of keeping hundreds of players in a single huge area, a role system which allows to have several units on the battlefield (like in a fleet).
now then we can talk about expanding or kicking out the trinity. but i bet we wont see that in a loooooong time, why?, because, "EVE is a niche game, and most people dont want to play it, its so hard and i dont get hand holded, players are mean to me and i dont know which way choose because i only know to kill rats in quests and receive blue armor until i reach max level to do dungeons for months until i have enough gear to grind battlegrounds in order to reach whatever PvP bullshit exist"
and so we have to deal with such laziness, at least Lineage II has castle sieges right?, the problem with lineage was the grind and the lack of things to do (since you had to grind mobs for mats, which only the dwarves could use for crafting). the rest was combat, and i think it was good group oriented, one player pulling all the mobs in a chain, some of us killing them, the others keeping the guy alive and buffing the whole party.
the point i want to get is, "if you want to be realistic, go for a system which allows every player to be active part of the battle. but if you want to just allow people to do childish battles, then go for a trinity system"

Do not fear the unknown, for it does not fear you.
The trinity is simply the natural selection of battle tactics. In order to keep the game challenging for the trinity all the less effective ways of playing were foolishly abandoned to fend for themselves. Only in recent days will it be possible to leave the trinity behind as it's use came from our lack of technology and extremely crude game design. In the next step the trinity will fall apart in the face of people who don't get hit and can actively protect each other from enemies then heal when the encounter is over. Ambushing, running away, attacking from outside the enemies range or disrupting their teamwork. With enough skill all this and much much more will become possible, but only when we move beyond this dying stage of our gaming history.
If a butterfly learnt to speak, to live in human society, paid its bills, had a job, lived in a fancy house and married a human, is it human?
Now what if that same butterfly knew how to write code better than any human and had years of experience in the game industry, would that make it a game designer?

The holy trinity is as old as mankind. Look at any army. Warriors, damage dealers, and healers.
I do like the 'chefs' idea posted above, lol. I think logistics would be a cool aspect to add to an MMO. No free lunch, so to speak. Someone has to gather/grow/cultivate or else characters starve to death.

In short....before MMO.
D&D, while you may not call it a trinity, the mechanics and party make up used it for the most part. Someone usually had to make the cleric, even if no one wanted to play the cleric a lot of the time....You didn't generally run around with a party of wizards and hope that none of them would get hit or need healed.
The MMO trinity was made, imo, to try to simulate PnP D&D, and the party/dungeon aspects/challenges.
Where MMOs have largly failed to simulate PnP is the need for the other classes, like a trap finding thief, characters having basic skills, like knowledge trees and such....Sure some systems are in games, but they do not really copy the spirit of it. The closest to this, that I have played, is probably old UO.

Like pretty well everything in MMORPGs these days, the "trinity" has become an institution with conventional formulaic implementations that hardly vary from one release to the next. That is the bad part because we're tired of the same old taunt to grab all the aggro, heal the tank and spank them down nonsense.
But from the earliest days of D&D there has always been an attemp to have the best armored character with the most HPs be at the front, a healer healing whoever needs it and a squishy DPSer doing the bulk of the damage. The main difference was that in the old days encounters were not guaranteed to always work out that way. Most encounteres required the squishy mage to occasionally stop DPSing and avoid damage through CC, escape mechanics or both. "Aggro" was typically gained through damaging the mobs one by one and getting their attention that way. Healing was less routine and more of an emergency measure but healers also dealt damage primarily.
Grabbing attention, healing and dealing damage have always been there, but the modern trinity as implemented in WOW and all its spawn of clones is a silly perversion of a much more interesting an fluid older system.

For me the gamers trinity started long before MMO's or even video games as we know them existed. Back in the late 70ies is really when it took off. Mainly with pen and paper Dungeons and Dragons, Traveller, Runescape, Gurps... Just to name a few. It exploded in the 80ies with the same titles. just more people into them. Back when DRAGON CON was about gaming. Not a pitch for the latest video game. (Sure does tell my age >.<)That said!
The trinity works. Why if im in a mmo I do my best to be in a guild that incorporates that ideology. Why if I am able, I make a character that is able to fulfill any of those three roles. Why there has been a definite change within the mmo industry to offer not only one specific role within a class. Thus Hybrids! Examples of single character trinity. EQ Druids,Beastlords, Shadowknights.. In WOW we have examples of single character trinity as in the Paladin,Shaman and Monk.
Something to think about. The entire base for a group of hardy adventurers to work together and work well always incorporates the trinity. Those players that want the character that has a mix of the trinity can notice this. MMOs in general created Hybrids just for you. In fact I bet it was due to player responses in a game that they obliged with hybrid classes. So does the trinity work? A BIG YES!!! Because even the players DEMAND such.
As such the trinity will always be regardless of whomever thinks it does not... There is no way to avoid the trinity in game combat regardless of which way you try.

Played table top since 1978, so the first boxes of D&D, then computer "rpg" like Ultima serie, then muds and mmo. Trinity is made up by the Soe dev team in EQ. The question is not to know if tank, healer, dps existed, are existing and where, you can reduce everything to taking damage, doing damage and healing. This is not the point of the trinity. Soe made that trio a must to enhance and force social grouping in mmo, this is what trinity is about. It have nothing to do with class or whatever, it is a mechanism made for a purpose. Both the system and the purpose work together.
Also it is totally dump to substitue agro mechanism with a GM. A GM is suposed to role play the creatures, if you are fighting a totally stupid race they will probably attack the closest guy "the tank" if you want to call it that way. But if you had some intelligent creature a GM would be an idiot to not have this creature use his brain and attack the mage first for exemple or whatever is the smartest in the situation. Healing in D&D was a poor mechanism, cleric where dps class, armored in chain with a mace, healing in combat was almost inexistant. People saying the trinity existed in D&D have no clue what they are talking about, they are day dreaming or on heavy drugs.

I remember it very well because at that period "The" game that was out, Ultima Online was considered as very anti social because it "promoted", for some people, player killing, looting, harassment, anti rp behavior and those things pointed as anti social back then. The Soe team took quiet some time to explain what was new with EQ, and what will change in their system and reduce if not eliminate those so called problems. They took their time to explain why the players should work together because that was what should do massive multiplayer games. I don't think they ever used the word trinity, i'm pretty sure that is a player label in fact or a user word that came later. But the Soe team did describe very well the mechanisms though. I'm sure if you know well the net you could dig the intereviews and such, but honestly it's too deep and i just wouldn't want to do that job myself. Also EQ team did say they used a Mud inspiration for that system where player would use a tank/healer/dps set up naturally in some high end situation, but once more it is pretty obvious that even in this Muds trinity was absent, it was just a player behavior due to extreme situation of combat. Sorry for any language error, i'm pretty tired right now.

Actually the trinity existed in console games like Final Fantasy. So sony may have been first to introduce the trinity to a mmo. It existed before mmos! Which is the point! Yes , single player, but player controlled characters. To your situational view with D&D, The GM is not the "player character" but is in all aspects, the world and npcs that fill it. Or the equivalent of! Healing in D&D was situational. Those clerics that preferred not to heal and go combat usually had a rough time(as well as other players with him/her) with a good GM. Some players role played the"Cleric" as it was meant to be by the games class design.
The earliest version of the trinity being required in a video game that I know of for the pc is Wizardry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry which fully incorporated the trinity in its design. As someone who has been a lifetime gamer and worked for SSI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Simulations,_Inc. during the 80ies. I can promise the trinity existed long before Sony and Everquest layed such a claim. As to D&D GM's, you have good GM's and you have bad GM's. They are very similar to mmos! You have bad(poorly made/designed)mmos and you have good mmos. In my view both about the same. Just one didnt have video in front of it!

Seriously? You started a thread about our conversation and dont send me a PM so I can come join in?
MY statement was to thank D&D for the holy trinity because it was the grandfather of the idea. It was. NWNO was the FIRST MMORPG with graphics, it had BLEED and Damage over time spells which ticked with each turn. You could "block" monsters from reaching your characters that were placed towards the back of the line and only a fool would not place heavy armor wearers to the front which made them first tanks. This is where the IDEA came from.
All of this was built on by Meridian 59 which removed the "you control a party" to you control a single character. That game had characters that were all damage, it DID have bleed and tick damage also, making them the first DPSers. It had HEALER classes...and it had heavy armor wearing damage tankers...and they based it all on D&D style classes.
Then came EQ...and no, you SHOULD NOT have left out the part of the conversation where you said EQ was NOT a D&D clone because even the MAKERS OF THE GAME said it was.
Dungeons and Dragons, the father of the idea of RPGs, the CREATOR of the very classes used today and why they are the way they are. Yes, D&D was the creator of the idea of the holy trinity...most of the genre is based on D&D ideas.

When a Kender says "oops!"; its already too late.
Technically speaking, the Trinity in EQ was Tank, Healer, Support (normally someone that could slow). The remaining slots were filled with DPS.
The notion of the Holy Trinity being Tank, Healer, DPS is a aspect of the WoW generation and beyond; basically where the average player doesn't have the attention span to track controls, debuffs, and hastes without a mod :)

Classes didn't come with MMORPG's. And a nice party composition with skills that complement each other always helped with RPG's (also pen and paper ones) before that. But healers being mandatory for group content and the silly aggro magnet mechanics did start with MMORPG's. And this is what makes the MMO-style trinity so annoying imo.

There were actually various roles including tank, healer, crowd control, support, dps, puller, and off-tank. The remaining slots were never filled with just dps. The common dungeon group was usually tank, healer, crowd control with the other slots taken up by almost anything.

La Tosca was founded by Nello and Bruna Borghesi in 1947 at 12 Bennett Lane, Melbourne. They had migrated to Melbourne from Italy in 1929. They produced tomato concentrate, tuna, asparagus, peppers and a bolognaise sauce under the label of 'Sugodoro' ('golden sauce'). The tomato paste was the most popular product and was predominantly sold to Italian delis and restaurants to make the base of sauces. The same label style was used from 1947-52.The vegetables were supplied by Victoria Market and tomatoes from Werribee market gardens.
In 1952 the production of the canned vegetable products stopped and only the tomato sauce line of Sugodoro continued. This was due to the competition of large companies such as Heinz and Campbells, as the family could never hope to meet the mass production abilities of these large corporations. In 1957/58 the family moved into handmade fresh pasta production, and grew into frozen pasta products in the 1960s. In 1972 La Tosca relocated to larger premises in Victoria Street Brunswick, managed by son Lio Borghesi (until his retirement) and his children.
