We all know how it went for AO after SL was released; straight downhill; it; AO was nearly killed instantly after SL. Those who were left like it, but the majority disliked it, even hated it like me.
Put any newb from any game into Shadowland and most of the will wonder if itæs made by programmer with some mental disorder; cause a worse nightmare of an expansion does not simply exists.
SL has nothing that even resembles a Sci-Fi setting as well as morbid places (in a negative way) where you have to search for exits of the zones for hrs upon hrs IF you are even then able to suceed without either dying from some ridiculously OP mob or from choking from some stpid gas where you are trapped in.
If I was a billionaire I would give FunCom 100 million nkr to tear SL out of AO then devlop something playable for the money.
I rate Shadowland 0/10; and I am even considered an "AO fanboi". Shadoland is just bad; TERRIBAD. When I get my toon to 220 I will NEVER set a foot back in Shadowland again. I just have no pleasure whatsoever in self-torturing me.

I made a shameful "Please help me in Shadowland" add to my LFT status some days ago as I was on the brink of leaving AO yet again due to me unable to handle the Shadowlands, again. It is the smartest move I have ever done since I have tried comebacks since 2004 and failed due to Shadowlands:
2 lovely ladies sendt med ingame tell and wondered what I needed help for, and I said truthfully "everything; I need be carried. My character is a totally outdated toon and I really would love to get to 220 since I have tried numerous comebacks but failed miserably everytime and I love AO so much".
The 2 ladies picked me up, then took me to Penumbra where we (actually they lol) killed a boss that dropped the ring for the Penumbra zoning portal! Then they even gave me Hold Hell At Bay as well(!) No need tosay; I was speechless. After that they took me to the shortcurt from the alien area into Penumbra where ppl gather for Inferno missions and I saved there. These ladies help in a few hrs in the late night/early morning was more than I had achieved since 2004 after I started trying all these comebacks.
I used Maw of the Abyss then changed into dual wielding Alien pistols (also given by ladies to me),I regeared a bit + perk reset, and went from 6500HP to 11500HP too! My toon is now transformed from a pure laughingstock of a wimp to one who now can hold his"own" little ground that finally "packs some punch", and most important of all I am having fun soloing in Shadowlands (which I never thought could happen). I can even finish some Alien Missions alone now; which I struggled with just killing the regular ones before and had NO chance finishing any!
Needless to say; I am extatic about what these 2 gorgeous ladies did for me and I will forever be in debt to those as long as I meet them ingame; they have saved AO for me!
On top of this I have become a member of a very friendly Organization that consists of mature, laidback players that are extremely kind & helpful. I have to underline that I am very humble that I have gotten all this help as I feel I have like "nothing" to contribute with other than pocket the Elysium Hecklers (which I really enjoy). Motivation is on top, things are going forward and I now have a real hope of becoming 220 for the first time ever :)
Please; if any of you have a good idea what I could do to show my gratitued to these 2 ladies and the Org, let me know. I really want and will show my gratitude for what they have done to me. I havent any gear or such to giv them that is anything other than old froob stuff, but if I could do something cool for them, a small RP'ish think, I might be lucky to make them smile a bit :)
Thank you for taking your time reading this.

Yes, leveling was long (no idea how it is now), my first 220 took 18 months (learning the ropes took a few months only), but everything leveling-related was made in a group and every minute of it was a blessing. Have been in a great org though.
Of course Shadowlands would feel bad and weird for someone who goes solo. AO is a team (group) game, NOTHING shines in AO if you go solo. All those beautiful symbiants and the work you have to put in order to twink them in, the factions, the Pande raids, the Inferno key (Sanct key also) pattern gathering, the unique mobs to kill for patterns and rare drops, the runs for the Inf boots, the Pen glasses and the Pande ring, or the simple pattern runs, the SL class-specific armor ingredients gathering... lots of fun. Shadowlands was a great expansion back in its days. It somehow does not fit in the lore, that i agree,

I have no problems that you need team upp to get the goodies, my main problem with AO, en especially Shdaowlands is that you need to be in team. Now that AO has become extremely elitistic, the game is a hell for newbs and people who would like to enjoy the game a bit on their own, maybe just get some levels. That is just not possible when you get to a certain point without risking you sanity.
Still; I really would like some tips wo repay them ladies, in any cool way. I know thye don't want anything back but they have saved this MMO for me which I have loved since it's release. Without them I would dtill be jumping between lots of other MMO's but ALWAYS thinking that the "coolest thing would be to have a 220 in AO whatsoever".

Yes, your first paragraph is one of the reasons i'm not playing anymore (other ones being lacking motivation in doing anything, i've got "everything", did everything a million times, my friends aged and got caught in real life). Lots of old (most of them rejected) players turned into elitist pricks. They do not realise that, without supporting the new blood, their game will die. AO was designed so that you always are in team, unfortunately.
You already did repay the ladies by staying in the game and joining their org. Trust me, that's the most important thing for any nice and sane player out there. AO would die without guys like you who still want to be part of the crowd and appreciate this amazing game. Now i remember the moments when i used to set my alarm clock at 4AM to wake up, not to miss Beast or Tarasque... AO is truly an amazing game and you'll see that now, because you have what seems to be a strong org, new things will really open up for you. Unfortunately, the game is VERY newb-unfriendly, and lost lots of great players because of that - people reaching 60-100 on their own, then realising that they cannot do anything alone and giving up - it's a somehow normal attitude, with so many other games out there which have better graphics, smoother gameplay, being way more intuitive etc.
My "goal" is to get me 1 level each week. If I can get that, then my motivation will be there until I get my 220 doc and can start be totally self sufficient (almost).
And yes, AO definately need be more newbie friendly cause it looses player day by day. Some do come back for short while cause they are fed up with all the brain dead MMO's outthere, but I bet they soon leave again, just because it is hard even for a 220 to find motivation alone in Anarchy Online. Such a shame, cause the game is brilliant and has such potential. I could care less about the GFX there, just give us more solo content and it would be a blast.
Originally posted by Mr_C , just give us more solo content and it would be a blast.
They allready did and it should be a blast for solo players right now.
Its not even possible to give more solo content ,close to everything is allready soloable.
Well next step is boost canisters that you can drink and while doing nothing your character gains 100 levels or 200 ,and the amazing thing is,those things are really coming.

I wonder what's so "soloable" as you describe it? Not even the daily "soloable" missions they implemented are soloable. I have really no idea what you are talking about, but I would love to hear about all this solo content that you claim (and you alone) exist in AO.
You cannot really call an item shop for "solo content". That would be a void comment that does not exist in my head.
AO's problem is not to get to 200, which is failry easy (problems start after 170ish I think), but the main problem is getting levels after 200.
If I could have bought me the levels I need to become 220 I would have, cause I am still "tired" of getting to 220 after all these years since I started on the journey in 2003.

No game will ever come close to being as good as Anarchy Online, No Game! I miss this game so much I can't belive no one will put money into making this game better. Skeleton crew FTL.
People who say its not the best never put in the time to this game. This game invented "twinking" no game out there makes you smash ur head against the wall trying to equip armor while having to use a calculator to equip gear way above your level. Every other game is right click to equip which is so stupid.
Kite hill anyone? LOL.
Grinding hecklars while meeting some really cool people priceless.
Only downside of this game was having player controlled raid leader whos power tripping from his parents basement. We know who I am talking about lol.
O almost forgot best time I ever had was as a Crat running around with my buddy who was a templar dressed up as carlo and people trying to gank me as he hit mongo rage and slice and dice ftw lol

but theres some new guys whos been pulling the strings for a quite some time now,next they are going to remove player shops and that minigame is gone,Im not sure are they also going to remove persistent player cities too,that minigame gone,those are not even minigames,those are parts which made it AO in the first place.

I really love shadowlands. Except inferno. I always liked sci-fi mixed with fantasy. Though i wish there would be more to those massive maps than farming hecks, missions and few rare mobs. I extremely enjoyed progress concept, where you need to do long quest lines and get certain items to be able to get full access to higher lvl zones.

I miss when you put in the work to your character you could actually solo some bada#$ stuff. The drops were not the best on that stuff so u actually had to put work and time into getting the gear you needed.
Only thing I will never miss is how OP they made NT's. That never made sense to me

Was with AO from early on and it is still my fondest MMO memory. Couldn't agree more with the SL haters. They had the makings of the best territory control world PvP game, and then flushed it all by going down the EQ treadmill route with SL. Game was never the same after. They should have expanded what they had instead of going in an unwise direction and this game could have been WoW before WoW. Too bad, so sad.

Shadowlands killed my favorite game (in my opinion). RubiKa is so beautiful and mysterious and yet we get dumped into a multi-colored, ugly as sin, buggy as hell world where we kill rocks for hours on end and get two shotted by green mobs. Give me more tara and merc raids and less garbage. Lost Eden was great for pvp'ers and Alien Invasion was quite good once they tweaked a few things.
I have resubbed a few times over the years (account created in 2001) and everytime I quit because I can't stand sitting in a garden for 10 hours begging for a team just to advance. I've been level 208 for years (my fault, I know). Give me more cave missions in the hills of EFP. Let me gain SK from an abandoned cyborg mission in Mort. Allow me to go to Home and roll a mission that I can spend a few hours in killing and looting and exploring. God dangit, I miss this game.

The XP from dailies, DOJA chips, and solo content are enough to get you to 160-170 fairly quickly. It's somewhere around the 170 mark that the XP from dailes starts to barely put a dent in the amount that you need for the next level so you go from a level or two every day to a level once (or twice, if you're really dedicated) per week. There's no decent solable content at those levels so the only thing you can do is start leeching in Inferno mission teams until 210 or so, when you can (God willing) start to actually contribute something to those teams.
This is one of AO's biggest problems IMO other than the grind, and that is the lack of rewarding, level-appropriate content at all levels.

Hello Fellow Worry Warts,
I just happened to stumble across a great deal at Copes distributing, here is the link:
Cope's Distributing
But it does not end there; Once upon a long time ago, I was a real live Army Ranger.....During my time as a Ranger, we commonly did a lot of mods to our field gear to make it more better. My ALICE ended up getting the Siamese Mod......
This Mod very simply entailed taking your standard Medium Alice bag, and Siamese(ing) a truncated Alice bag to the bottom of it to hold a Sleeping bag, Tarp, and other such stuff. We would trade a carton of smokes to someone in supply to get us a thrashed ALICE bag. $25.00 and a seamstress later, We had our super ALICE...I made 16 jumps with my super ALICE. No issues.
But Wait! There's more!!!!!!
For an additional $35.00, we can now get this very cool and updated Frame for our Super ALICE, here is the link:
#1606 Pack Frame MOLLE - Down East Inc.
Make sure you specify the ALICE COMPATIBLE Version. Now I know that they say that you should use their straps and Hip Belt.....But this is not really true. You can use the current MOLLE Shoulder Straps and Hip Belt with NO modifications, here are links to the lowest priced ones I have found:
USGI Molle shoulder straps
Molle molded waistbelt
Just to add to the fun, I have always liked this as well, and it works with the Super ALICE:
Load Bearing Vest
A close second, but much better if you are getting in and out of a vehicle is here:
7 Pocket Chest Rig
I will get some pictures of the process posted soon. Currently, the bags are cut up and waiting for a sewing machine to get fixed. Leather Project killed it....
By my figuring, this setup cost:
$9.98 for two Medium ALICE Bags.
$15.00 for MOLLE Shoulder Straps
$10.00 for MOLLE Hip Belt
$35.00 for New Polymer Frame
And about two hours of deconstruction / reconstruction of the bags into the Super ALICE.
Add $15.00 or $27.00 for the Tacti-cool Vest and you are just about done.
I have done business with all of the above vendors, and they are all a real CLASS ACT.
Gunny Surplus has really good prices on a lot of stuff as well. If you are in the Mid-West, he is at a lot of Gun Shows. That is his major biz....Still, a very good guy to work with.
Copes is without a doubt the BEST vendor I have ever done business with. Give him as much of you dollars as possible. You will not regret it. I just wish Copes carried more Surplus stuff.
Down East is OK. They do what they do, and are not terrible. They do not hold a candle to Gunny or Copes. But, they are the only game in town for the cool frame. And it is worth it.
Look for some pics and additional dialogue in the near future.

Rated 4.7 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SnowW I'm in love! I love this jacket! Based on the reviews I ordered the xs rather than small, and am glad I did. It fits perfect with a little extra room. The back is tailored nicely, and the fit is very flattering. Im 5'9" and 130lbs. The only thing I didn't realize was that this jacket has cropped sleeves, but that's just a note so you don't order it expecting full length sleeves (I thought the sleeves were just pushed up on the model). 9.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by rachellanutella Great Blazer! I have this in the Heather color in xs. Like the other reviewers said, this definitely runs large. I saw this on the site and decided I'd need to try it on in store before I bought it in case it turned out to be too big for me to wear (5'1"), and the version they had at my local FP pretty much swallowed me whole and had all the boxiness mentioned by the other reviewers, so I passed on it. Eventually I decided the color (which is much browner in person) and wool were too pretty for me to let go, so I decided to get it after all and have it altered to fit better, so I just ordered it from the website instead. But, strangely enough, the version that I just got fits me much better than the one I got in store and isn't nearly as boxy in the shoulder. It fits like a true xs, and is fantastic. I can't wait to wear this in the fall! And if you're thinking of getting this, I definitely recommend ordering off the website instead of getting it from the store - all the x-smalls in my local free people were definitely not the "real" size - maybe there was a label mixup? 8.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Soffi Soft and warm! I bought this jacket in xs-grey. The material es sooo soft and warm, not itchy at all. It´s perfect for autum/winter, definately gonna wear it a lot! It fits a little bit loose, but I like it that way. Great buy, specially at sale price! 3.11.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jukay Smart and stylish Just received this and tried it on. Still wearing my pyjamas but it looks great. Fit is true to size as per the Free People size chart, I bought the XS and I have 33.5" bust and 35" hip, it fits just like on the model. I am 5' 11" and the length is great on me, like the model again. I find a lot of blazers a bit short and a bit too shaped in the waist for my long straight shape. Sleeves are full length (somebody said they weren't) and you could wear them folded up although they are probably too loose to be able to just push them up. The fabric is lovely and soft and springy and supple and the grey has nice subtle shade variations. The button is big but I thought it looked nice when done up. There is a spare button too...and if you didn't like the button, it's only a single button and could easily be replaced. I can see me getting a lot of wear out of this as I like to wear comfy clothes all the time and this will help me to be smart and stylish as well. 2.18.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by orangecat9 Not Ichy and Not Scratchy I am 5'6", 135 36B... Tried on a size M in the brown/black [lovely, rich colour] and didn't think it really flattered me. I was wearing my [favourite] Black Double Knit Dropwaist Dress with tights and [fantastic] Marlo Zip Buckle Boots. So I tried on size S, not really expecting much. It was a perfect fit; even made me look like I have more of a booty than I actually have thanks to the little slit that flared out a little at the back. I really didn't want to take it off since it "made" the outfit I was wearing. All confirmed by the great sales associate. The best thing about this "jacket" is that it is made of super soft merino wool. I am highly sensitive to wool but this does not itch in the slightest. Yeah FP! Thanks for another great addition to my growing FP collection of timeless pieces. 1.26.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Gingerlily Lovely This is a great jacket. I love the cut + length, very slimming. The color is more of a brown. I ordered the large and the sleeves were a bit loose, The medium was out of stock but I still love it. I would say this is a hybrid between a blazer and a coat. The one thing I noticed was the huge button that doesn't show in pics. I didn't hate it but I wasn't expecting it! Love it. 1.13.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Cinders Just like your boyfriend's... LOVE LOVE LOVE. Oversized and wonderful. Roomy enough to wear over anything. Super soft as well. Have the chocolate, will order the gray next. Wish it came in black. I purchased a large (I wear M or L in FP). Could have sized down, but I love the roomy-ness. Zero itchy scratchy! BONUS. 1.3.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Guitargal LOVE IT! I loved this jacket so much that I bought both colors. I love the slightly oversized fit. When buttoned up it's very flattering. This jacket has everything going for it!! 12.28.2012

Rocket Motorsports competes in SEA competition at MISWritten by Duane Ramsey | | email@example.com
The University of Toledo's Formula SAE team, Rocket Motorsports, competed in the annual Formula SAE Michigan competition at Michigan International Speedway on May 14-17.
The Formula SAE competition held at MIS featured 126 collegiate teams from around the world, including 16 teams from Canada, four each from Germany and South Korea, two each from Brazil and Venezuela, and teams from Austria, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Russia, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and more than 80 teams from the U.S.
Formula SAE is a student-led competition sanctioned by SAE International with more than 400 chapters at colleges and universities participating in regional and international competitions. Rocket Motorsports has been building vehicles for regional and international competition since 1995.
Teams of college students are challenged to design, build and race an open wheel formula-style racecar. The SAE program offers students the opportunity to apply theories learned in the classroom and challenges them to apply new concepts and push the limits, often resulting in designs at the forefront of technology.
UT's Rocket Motorsports finished third in the acceleration category, tied for 15th in design and skid pad, and placed 18th in autocross, 36th in fuel economy, 38th in cost, 87th in presentation and 32nd overall in the SAE event.
"The 2013-2014 season marked the 20th year of our Formula SAE team," said Dale Hamberg, Rocket Motorsports team leader and a senior in UT's College of Engineering. This year's team includes students in a wide variety of majors, from engineering to business, and the car expresses each individual's knowledge, research and creativity."
He said the team returned from competition May 18 and was preparing to leave May 21 for the Formula North 2014 Engineering and Design Competition held May 22-25 in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. Formula North is a Canadian Formula student competition to promote the awareness of practical engineering experience and student innovation that is open to Canadian and international teams.
The SAE Formula competition has been held at MIS since 2008. Spectators are welcome at all SAE Collegiate Design Series competitions and admission is free.
"We continue to find ways to aid in education of students interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is always interesting to see all the innovations the students in the Formula SAE have developed throughout the year," MIS President Roger Curtis said.
"The students compete against the best in the world in the three-day event and it allows us to continue to show off the Irish Hills while providing an economic impact to the local community," Curtis said.
The Formula SAE Series competitions challenge teams of university undergraduate and graduate students to conceive, design, fabricate and compete with small, formula style, autocross vehicles.
It also teaches organizational, time management and leadership skills while promoting professionalism and encouraging the use of cutting edge technology, according to SAE.
The Rocket Motorsports team was broken down into six specialized areas including team management, chassis, suspension, powertrain, electrical and composite. Each group is equally important to the creation and success of the vehicle, according to Hamberg.
Teams typically spend eight to 12 months designing, building, testing and preparing their vehicles before a competition. The competitions give teams the chance to demonstrate and prove both their creative and engineering skills in comparison to teams from other universities around the world.
"In addition to learning, Formula SAE provides a unique form of competition. Collegiate engineering students from several nations will compete in a series of static and dynamic events designed to challenge their engineering, problem-solving, and teamwork skills," Daniel Hancock, president of SEA International, stated in the President's Message for the 2014 competition at MIS.
Over the course of three days, the vehicles are judged in a series of static and dynamic events including: technical inspection, cost, presentation and engineering design, solo performance trials and high performance track endurance. The events are scored to determine how well each car performs.
Dynamic performance, design, manufacturing methods, project budgeting, testing, and final products are judged by leading industry professionals. The judging process tests students to the edge of their knowledge by creating an atmosphere equal in stress level to marketing a product to consumers.
In each event, the manufacturing firm has specified minimum acceptable performance levels that are reflected in the scoring equations, according to SAE officials.
"The students work hard and compete to win. Some will win top honors, others will not but all will leave here winners because they will be better engineering students," Hancock stated in his message.
The SAE International Collegiate Design Series is a college-level engineering design and performance competition. It is just one of the programs SAE offers within a full continuum of STEM education programs (science, technology, engineering, and math).
SAE also held the F1 in Schools U.S./Canada National Championships in conjunction with Formula SAE Michigan at MIS last weekend. F1 in Schools introduces middle and high school students to the engineering process with teams using 3D Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software to design a Formula One car of the future.
SAE International, the Society of Automotive Engineers, is a global professional organization representing 145,000 engineers and technical experts. The organization has an office in Troy, Mich.

Altitude & Azimuth Instrument - Troughton & Simms, London, 18 Inch, circa 1836 Reg. No: ST 022216
- Summary:
- Altitude and azimuth instrument, or altazimuth, 18 inch circle, made by Troughton & Simms, London, circa 1836. This instrument was used for the Geodetic Survey of Victoria, 1858-71, which established the primary surveying points throughout the colony.
The instrument was also used during the observation of the Transit of Venus in December 1874 by E J White, Assistant Astronomer at Melbourne Observatory, who used it to observe the times of the internal contacts of Venus on the Sun's disk.
- Description:
- Circles graduated to 5 min on silver & read by micrometers.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This altitude and azimuth instrument (or altazimuth telescope) is one of the most important instruments used during the Geodetic Survey of Victoria, 1858-72.
The Geodetic Survey of Victoria was established in 1858 by Surveyor-General Charles Ligar to undertake a triangulated survey of Victoria, taking into account the curvature of the earth's surface. The Geodetic Survey would thereby provide an accurate set of survey markers that could be used by government and commercial surveyors for all subsequent surveys. The Victorian Government Astronomer and Director of Williamstown Observatory and subsequently Melbourne Observatory, Robert Ellery, was placed in charge of the project, because the work required highly accurate measurements and astronomical observations.
A base line for the survey was measured at Werribee, because the Werribee Plains provided the closest relatively flat land near Williamstown. After this was completed in 1860, careful measurements using this altitude and altazimuth instrument and smaller instruments spread the triangulations slowly across the colony. The Geodetic Survey took a further 12 years to complete, Surveying in heavily wooded and hilly areas such as Gippsland proved to be very time consuming, requiring the use of heliotropes directing light from mountain to mountain.
This instrument was made by Troughton & Simms of London, the leading British firm of surveying and astronomical instruments. The instrument consists of a telescope mounted so that it pivots both horizontally and vertically. With its 18 inch vertical and horizontal circles it could accurately measure both angles of altitude and azimuth. The circles have a silver scale accurately divided into 5 minutes of arc (one-twelfth of a degree), which could then be read still more accurately using small reading microscopes.
Made of thick brass, the instrument was extremely heavy and had to be carried in two large crates. Robert Ellery gradually shifted to using lighter theodolites with 15 inch circles made by the German instrument making firm Ertel & Sohn.
This instrument continued to be used as a portable telescope for astronomical observations, both at Melbourne Observatory and on observing expeditions. For example it was used by assistant astronomer Edward White to observe the Transit of Venus in 1874.

SHALIMAR — United Way of Okaloosa and Walton counties announced Thursday its continued support from the community by exceeding its goal of $1.2 million raised in 2012.
The nonprofit organization whose affiliates and funding reaches one in four local residents said that while giving has become more challenging in a slow economy, it continues to receive contributions from businesses and residents to keep it going after 55 years.
"When you filled out a pledge card, maybe you wondered, 'Will my gift make a difference?" Jack Azzaretto, chairman of United Way's board of directors, said Thursday in his speech at the 2013 Victory Celebration at Shalimar United Methodist Church. "The answer is yes. Because working together we passed our goal, (receiving) $1,200,051 for Okaloosa and Walton counties."
The money goes to dozens of other nonprofits and programs to help people to provide education, income stability assistance and healthy lifestyle choices.
"This was a monumental task we achieved," Bill Robinson, president/CEO of United Way, said in a telephone interview. "It's down from last year, but there is a lot of uncertainty that people are dealing with and we surpassed our goal."
One of the main contributors to the United Way's 2012 campaign, "Live United … Results You Can See" were the eight Publix groceries in the two counties. Their employees and the company donated $323,000, or 25 percent of the total amount collected.
"They were a bright spot in all this," Robinson said. "Like every other organization, there are less people with less jobs across the board, so the giving from Publix was remarkable."
Details of the 2013 campaign will be announced in March along with the fundraising goal. A board meeting is scheduled in the coming weeks to decide on the details.
"I urge each of you to continue your support of the United Way in the years to come," Azzaretto, said in his speech at the celebration. "This is a phenomenal organization, which has the power to light up so many lives."

Vermont GOP expected to offer amendment to budgetBy Peter Hirschfeld
Staff Writer | March 28,2013MONTPELIER – Having failed in their bid to derail a tax bill that would raise more than $20 million in new revenue next year, House Republicans have now turned their focus toward changing the ways in which Democrats want to spend the money.
The GOP super-minority will offer an amendment to the budget Friday that would ax spending on new programs and redirect the money to buy down public-pension obligations and bolster rainy-day reserves.
The amendment will undoubtedly fail, and by a wide margin. But House Minority Leader Don Turner said his caucus is at least making its points.
"Vermont needs to get its fiscal house in order,"Turner said Thursday. "It's already very expensive to live in Vermont. And these (budget and tax) bills make it much, much worse."
Turner said that at the outset of the session, he presented House Speaker Shap Smith with the conditions that would be needed to earn his caucus' support for the fiscal year 2014 spending plan. They included: an overall spending increase of not more than 3 percent; limiting new employees to the 17 positions needed to staff the new state hospital; and the creation of a $20 million reserve to absorb looming cuts in federal aid.
"We knew full well we wouldn't achieve everything on this, but we hoped to see some movement on some," Turner said. "This budget being brought to the floor does not do that."

The personal information of 12,000 Savannah River Site employees may have been compromised, according to the Department of Energy.
The DOE is reporting there has been no classified information taken from the top secret, nuclear weapons complex site. However, DOE officials said they remain in the dark over who perpetrated the leak and why the information was taken.
DOE officials would not yet release details on when the breach happened.
"Based on preliminary reviews, it is estimated that PII (Personal Identifying Information) for over 12,000 individuals may have been affected," a document released last week to employees reads. "The Savannah River Site's Cyber Security Team identified this unauthorized disclosure of PII. Initial indications are that this disclosure was not the result of a cyber-intrusion and no classified data was compromised."
The response and the data breach is reminiscent of that which is currently affecting millions of South Carolinians after the Department of Revenue lost taxpayer's personal information to hackers. However, this is not a "hack" of data, DOE officials said.
Site management and operations contractor Savannah River Nuclear Solutions has had problems with software improvements and the management of software projects within the last year, according to reviews released in recent months.
Financial management software upgrades and improvements to software that tracks classified information were not as needing to be improved, according to reviews.
More details on the breach are not being released at this time, as this incident is currently under investigation by the Office of the Inspector General.
"While we do not know the intent of the unauthorized disclosure of PII, DOE has encouraged Site employees to be vigilant in monitoring financial transactions and emails or phone calls relating to such personal transactions, directing them to available consumer resources for ensuring privacy and identity protection, and establishing an email account to receive employee inquiries."
David Moody, manager of DOE-Savannah River, said, "DOE is strongly committed to protecting the integrity of each employee's personally identifiable information and takes any unauthorized disclosure very seriously. As more specific information is obtained, the Department will make this available to employees."
While the Inspector General's investigation is ongoing, DOE is "evaluating additional security technologies to take aggressive steps to reduce the likelihood that unauthorized disclosures of PII could occur again," documents state.
The steps include "working with public and private sector partners to further harden our networks; conducting deep network scans to ensure that no malware was installed; and, reviewing cost-effective, technical solutions that enable stronger data protection," according to the release to employees.

"It's a new era in website design," said City of Boulder Director of Information Technology Don Ingle. "We knew going into this effort that not only did our website need to have an updated look, it also needed to accommodate mobile web users. More and more people are accessing Internet content from mobile devices, leaving designs based on desktop screen widths a thing of the past."
The city's site also features more photos and videos throughout its pages. Navigational options featured on the new home page were selected based on hit and search data as well as topic timeliness.

As 2010 draws to a close, I thought that I would take a look back at some predictions about Cloud Computing that I made at the beginning of the year, but with a bit of an added spin. This reflection could be pretty lengthy so I will focus mainly on how GoGrid matched up to the predictions. While that can be perceived as a bit one sided, I believe that it is important for the Cloud Computing community to contemplate on what they did for the Cloud from a "personal" perspective and how they are driving this evolutionary movement forward.
Here were my predictions from January 2010:
- Cloud Outages – There will be several Cloud Outages that get high visibility this year. As complexity and associated infrastructure grows and more users turn toward the cloud, any hiccups therein will receive quick and broad media coverage, with naysayers quickly stating "I told you so". Unfortunately, any type of outage may be perceived as a "cloud failure", resulting in the masses becoming increasingly doubtful in the reliability of the cloud. This "F.U.D. Factor" will be a steep hurdle that cloud providers and partners will have to overcome. Those companies with sound IT strategies and best practices in place will be able to weather any outages well, assuming they employ Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions and have them implemented.
End of Year Update: Yes, there were outages in the cloud but the term "cloud" expanded to include a variety of items that were indirectly related to the Cloud Pyramid. No hosting service or data center is fully immune to outages or disruptions. Several SaaS providers had disruptions of service that were pretty high profile (most recently Tumblr, a micro-blogging platform, affected countless customers across the globe). ReadWriteWeb has a good listing of significant disruptions that occurred including Wikipedia, WordPress, Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, and yes, even WikiLeaks.
GoGrid Update: I'm happy to say (knock on wood), that GoGrid has maintained a 99.99% uptime throughout the year which means that customers who have implemented their infrastructure solutions within our cloud offerings have made an important choice. With our rollouts of new service offerings as well as an East Coast data center, our customers now have a choice on the type of infrastructure to provision and where they want it to reside.
- The Rise of Hybrid Hosting Solutions – While relatively new in 2009, more providers will consider implementing the ability to have the "best of all worlds" hosting solutions. Whether this be the combination of physical and cloud environments or, cloud bursting, or private and public clouds working congruently, there will definitely be a blurring of lines between what hosting is.
End of Year Update: There was definitely some significant movement in this arena, with a couple providers announcing "Cloud Connect" or "Hybrid Connect" features that cross-connect physical and virtual environments. This is an important item for corporations looking to have flexible network topologies.
GoGrid Update: We first launched Cloud Connect back in November of 2008 as we understood this need by businesses to have hybrid environments. Coincidentally, it was released using the "Cloud Connect" name which other providers seem to have attempted to capitalize on. However, back in February 2010, we released our GoGrid Dedicated Servers offering that effectively integrates physical and virtual infrastructure within the GoGrid Cloud. More recently (December 2010), we announced that GoGrid Dedicated Servers and our Hybrid Hosting environment was available within our East Coast data center as well, thus providing these hybrid solutions in multiple locations. The important take-away here is that 2 years ago we realized that this would be an important service that enterprises, businesses and corporations would desire, so our products and engineering teams ensured that the physical and virtual components that comprise our offering were tightly integrated and easy to use, all within the same web portal and private network.
- Security Concerns, Vulnerabilities and Malware – this is an only logical prediction. As the number of cloud or virtualized environments increase due to their ease of use and lower cost, the possibility of environments being created and left unattended also increases. Also because of the ease of use, with "average" users deploying environments that are not hardened or at least audited from a security standpoint, there are more possibilities for hackers or users to unintentionally open their systems up to malware, botnets or other malicious code.
End of Year Update: With the exception of DDoS attacks which any hosting provider is susceptible to (and which are typically targeted at a specific site, not a provider), and with the obvious exception of the WikiLeaks attacks, cloud "hacks" or vulnerabilities seemed to remain fairly low. There is still obviously the FUD factor (fear, uncertainty and doubt) but since cloud computing has really seemed to have hit mainstream IT, companies are doing their due diligence when selecting a cloud hosting provider, obviously looking toward robustness and security as core requirements for IT implementations.
GoGrid Update: We have strengthened our DDoS mitigation services, engaged with new technology partners and service providers, and continue to provide robust support should malicious activities occur. GoGrid has been conducting regular educational webinars (including some with our partners) to help our customers reduce risks associated with technology as well as develop redundant, N-level architectures designed for fault tolerance and resiliency.
- A "Cloud" for Everyone – Towards the end of last year, we started to see a blurring of the definition of "cloud" and "cloud computing". The mainstream media is to blame for much of this confusion. To that end, people seem to be ubiquitously interchanging the word "cloud" and "cloud computing" where they are actually quite different. Most people are simply using the word "cloud" to describe anything where the data is stored somewhere else, whether it be truly using a "cloud computing" environment or simply a cluster of servers somewhere. I predict that this confusion will get worse long before it gets better. People will continue to interchangeably use "cloud" and "cloud computing" thus forcing those of us in the industry to (re)define what "cloud computing" truly is. However, as the word "cloud" becomes incredibly mainstream, it will grow to mean anything that is delivered via the web, regardless of if it is applications, services, infrastructure, data or what have you. (In fact, I used "cloud" interchangeably throughout this post…for me, I'm talking about "cloud computing.")
End of Year Update: Unfortunately to those of us in the Cloud Computing industry, the term "cloud" continues to morph into an encompassing of anything related to "stored on the Internet somewhere". Recent advertising campaigns now throw the term "cloud" around extremely loosely, polluting the true definition. We believe that Gartner's definition of Cloud Computing is one of the best in the space currently: "A style of computing where scalable and elastic IT-related capabilities are provided 'as a service' to customers using Internet Technologies."
GoGrid Update: At GoGrid, we make it our mission to adhere to the important qualities of cloud computing: self-service, scalable, on-demand, pay-as-you-go and as a service. While we may use the term "cloud" loosely, our core competency is "cloud computing", being the largest "pure play" provider in the space. What I mean by pure play is that our business is devoted to providing infrastructure services entirely, not diluted by other add-on services or products or physical items. This year we developed our Unique Value Proposition (UVP) – "Complex Infrastructure Made Easy™" which we live and breath by. So while the term "cloud" continues to become fractured, representing many things that it wasn't initially supposed to, we fully believe in ensuring that our "cloud" represents industry definitions and standards.
- Analysts will Shorten their "Coming of Age" Stories – Many of the big name players predicted that cloud computing wouldn't really be adopted by the mainstream for another few years. I believe that they will retract or refine their statements to show how much closer to mainstream cloud computing really is. While Fortune100 companies may still be slow to adopt, the "rest of us" will get on the cloud a lot faster than analysts originally predicted.
End of Year Update: Cloud Computing continues to "infiltrate" corporations and enterprises as these companies look to alternatives to traditional IT requisitioning. While corporate entities as a whole might not fully throw themselves at replacing their existing infrastructure with cloud infrastructure, business units and other departments therein are seeing the advantages and embracing them. I still believe that the adoption curve is moving a lot faster than what analysts are predicting.
GoGrid Update: Our increase in corporate and enterprise customers clearly indicates that there is a significant uptake in interest as well as implementation of cloud and hybrid scenarios and solutions. Also, our ever-growing numbers of SMB and Web 2.0 customers reflect an even healthier adoption of cloud computing as outsourcing of IT services remains a critical component of financial savings, human resource optimization and other unrealized IT rearchitecture.
So there you have it. A quick look back at my predictions for 2010 and how the market and GoGrid faired. What are your thoughts on the past year and how Cloud Computing did therein? What about 2011? Would love to get your read! And Happy Holidays from all of us at GoGrid.

text: In 2005 I had an IUGR baby (1 lb 15ounce) and since his nicu stay I felt he needed to drink his milk and would 'force' him to drink by distracting him walking around etc. He is now 4 years old and dislikes food other than that he is healthy and VERY active. Last December I had a baby who was 5.5 lbs and seemed to be doing good with her milk. However since 3 mths she has not been drinking enough. She drinks abt 2 ounces and then is not interested. My Dr. said she has to drink so again I have started 'forcing' be feeding in her sleep or walking around. Right now she is 4 months and 13 lbs 4 ounces so weight-wise she is fine. I don't want long run issues like my son but my Dr. says she needs the calories. Any advise???

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (Nov. 18)-The New Mexico State men's basketball team let a second-half lead slip away and fell to Niagara, 86-83, in the 2K Sports Classic benefitting Wounded Warrior Project.
Sophomore guard Daniel Mullings scored a season-high 26 points, just two shy of his career high, for the Aggies and was named to the all-tournament team. Junior center Tshilidzi Nephawe contributed a double-double with 14 points and 10 rebounds, which ties a career-high mark. This was his first double-double since March 2, 2011.
Senior forward Bandja Sy was also in double-digits with 10 points. Off the bench, sophomore guard Terrel de Rouen had a career-high nine points, while senior forward Tyrone Watson supplied eight points, six rebounds and five assists.
In NM State's (1-3) third game in four days, the Aggies had a commanding 48-32 lead at halftime. Mullings had a game-high 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting including a long 3-pointer at the buzzer. Nephawe had 10 points and six rebounds for his first double-digit game of the season.
Nephawe scored the Aggies' first five points to give NM State a 5-2 early lead. The Aggies continued to build a lead with a 20-3 run that broke open the game for a 20-point advantage, 37-17, which was capped off with a Mullings bucket at 5:43. The Aggie defense was strong and forced 15 turnovers and didn't allow a field goal for eight minutes.
NM State used its size advantage and outscored Niagara, 28-12, in the paint in the first half. The Aggies shot the ball well and recorded a 63.3 field goal percentage (19-of-30), including a 3-of-6 showing at the 3-point line.
In the second half, Niagara chipped away at NM State's lead and forced nine turnovers without committing a single one in the last 20 minutes of action.
NM State's double-figure lead was cut to single digits, 73-64, when Niagara hit a 3-pointer with 8:49 to play. That started a Purple Eagle rally, and Niagara had a six-point lead, 84-78, at the 2:22 mark. The Aggies scored the next five points and cut the advantage to one, 84-83, with 1:21 remaining. The NM State defense stopped Niagara on the ensuing possession and had the ball with 27.7 seconds to play.
The Aggies waited for the last shot, and Mullings had a layup just roll off the rim. Niagara made two free throws with less than nine seconds to play, but Sy's 3-point attempt didn't fall in the final seconds.
The Aggies return home for a pair of games inside the Pan American Center during Thanksgiving week. NM State hosts Northern New Mexico, Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. in the final game of the 2K Sports Classic. The Aggies host Louisiana, Friday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. in a game in memory of former Aggie Kelsey Crooks.

Had it not been for LegalZoom, I would not have been able to afford to create a Living Trust for my four children.
Richard C., Bethany, IL
A trust is an arrangement in which one or more people manage or take care of property for someone's benefit. A living trust is a trust that is created during your lifetime. In other words, while you are still alive, you transfer title to your property from your name to that of the trustee of the living trust. You can use the trust to gather your property under one document, so that the property is distributed efficiently after your death.
When you put your property into a trust, the trustee of the trust owns the property - you are no longer the legal owner of the transferred assets. This doesn't mean you have no control of your property. Since you will be your trust's initial trustee, you will still be in charge of your property. You can do whatever you want with it - you can leave it alone, take it out of the trust, or use it as you had been before the trust was created. A living trust is an easy way to organize your assets and manage them as a single unit. Most importantly, a trust allows for an efficient property distribution when you die.
Yes. If you have an individual trust, you can transfer property in and out of it whenever you want - you don't need anyone else's permission. If you have a shared trust, you will need to get your co-trustee's consent if you're transferring property you own together.
Yes. A will deals with any property that was not included in the living trust. This property may have been left out for any number of reasons. For example, property that wasn't properly transferred into the trust will be distributed under your will. Property you bought or received after the trust was created will be distributed according to your will, unless you transfer the property to, or purchase it in the name of, the trust.
A will also lets you name a guardian for your minor children and covers property intentionally left out of the trust (e.g., cars, personal checking accounts). A LegalZoom Living Trust includes a simple pour-over will for this purpose.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Belmont Bruins defeated the Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team Tuesday night in Nashville, Tenn., dropping UTC to an 0-8 overall record. The Bruins improved to 3-6 with the win over Head Coach Travis Filar's squad, sending the Mocs back to Chattanooga with a 3-0 defeat.
"Belmont is a great team that has a lot of experience in the NCAA Tournament and winning conference tournaments," Filar said. "We knew it would be a tough match going in and wanted them on the schedule for that reason."
The Mocs were downed 25-16, 25-16 and 25-18 by the in-state opponent, dropping their record against Tennessee teams to 0-3. Chattanooga suffered loss to Tennessee and UT Martin over the past weekend at the Country Inns & Suites Invitational.
Belmont took first blood with an ace to begin the match and soon jumped out to an early lead, forcing UTC to a timeout with an 11-5 showing on the scoreboard. Three Bruin errors and kills from both sophomores Julimar Alvarado (San Juan, Puerto Rico) and Sarah Batterton (Colbert, Wash.) gave UTC its first five points.
Chattanooga cut the lead to four, making the score 14-10, but Belmont pulled away in the end on a eight-point run to defeat UTC 25-16.
The Mocs did not fare any better in the second set, falling with an identical 25-16 score. Belmont again won the first point of the frame to set the tone. The Bruins jumped out to a 9-3 lead to force another early UTC timeout in the frame. Chattanooga went on a four-point rally near the end of the set with Alvarado recording a kill while freshman Kendall Sexton (Orlando, Fla.) and sophomore Briana Reid pitching in points, but an attacking error would end the set and send the Mocs to the locker room in a 2-0 hole.
Filar's Mocs pulled within two more points in the third set of the match, but a 25-18 defeat would prove to be the deciding frame in the competition.
Alvarado ended the night as the Mocs kills leader with seven followed by Reid with six. Sophomore Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.) closed out the match with four while Anne Bachmann (Lincoln, Neb.) was the only other Moc to record double-digit kills.
Both Bachmann and sophomore libero Catherine Chason (Alpharetta, Ga.) collected 10 digs and Sexton led the defense at the net with three blocks. Bachmann totaled 14 assists at setter.
The Mocs continue their 2013 schedule Friday as the team travels to Miami, Fla., to participate in the Florida International Invitational. There, Chattanooga will meet up with FIU, Jacksonville and South Dakota State.
