Rated 4 out of 5Â by 3 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5Â by shion Better in pictures I was so excited for this bag, however when i opened the package one of the straps immediately broke off. Then i noticed that the bungy cord like strap was just taped at the ends to keep them together! A clear tape! For how much i paid, this is terrible quality. This bag is also very very heavy and when you are carrying it by one of the long straps it sits very awkwardly. Unless you are extremely tall this bag will go past your knees which means that when you are walking a heavy bag will be bouncing off your calves. I wanted to love this bag so much (i got it in olive) however with everything mentioned, i decided to return it. 8.18.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pinklover Unique This bag is Unique. It is as described and you will be happy with it if you are looking for what it promises. I do not agree that the bag is heavy and the bag length is long but it states that it is. Very different and very colorful. If you want to make a statement, this bag is a must :) 4.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Fashion-gal Fabulous Bag!!!!! I just got the camouflage style bag & it's a statement piece!!!!

To The Editor:
This letter is addressed to Waitsfield voters:
Your participation at the Waitsfield Select Board's Town Office Task Force (TOTF) December 2012 public forum showed far more support (3:1) for the adaptive re-use of a fine, old, civic structure in the center of our well-loved village of Waitsfield than the alternative of a new building at the Farm Stand site. The TOTF recommendation and the select board's action was to put the Farm Stand site on our March 2013 ballot despite the lack of support. The agenda of a few people with lots of control and authority has temporarily won over the voice of the people. As my mother would say, "By law they are required to hold a public hearing but they are not required by law to listen"....and they haven't.
The newest sales pitch for a town office building at the Farm Stand site is "it's cheaper." Evaluating such a project on cost measures alone is ill-conceived. As citizens of the Mad River Valley we share an interest and enthusiasm for local farms and businesses, eating local foods, shopping and employing locally and doing all that we can to keep our cultural, physical and natural environments healthy and sustaining – including active participation in re-purposing our old and historic buildings. This Valley character trait stems from our constant consideration of value along with cost. We want leadership in this community and municipality to exemplify this trait and efforts to do otherwise are shortsighted and destined to fail.
I hope other readers and voters will join me in voting a big no to the town office scheme at the March 2013 Town Meeting. If you won't be there please weigh in by absentee ballot which can be picked up at the town clerk's office. Through the select board's decision, the community has lost the primary supporters of town office relocation. Now, we will say no. Too bad. Better listening next time.
Kirsten Seibert
P.S. Developing plans for a $600,000 addition to the town garage prior to resolving the town office issue and sidetracking our town office project to be a Flemer lands purchase project are also shortsighted. K.S.

Answers to your questions about educator licensure, including types of licenses, adding and renewing licenses.
What is the difference between Preliminary, Initial, Temporary and Professional licenses and which license should I apply for?
Please review Lesley's chart that explains licensure levels, or the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) diagram of the types of licenses. Licensure programs at Lesley lead to the INITIAL license (preferred by school districts for beginning teachers) or PROFESSIONAL license for experienced teachers. Candidates can apply on their own for the Preliminary License, which is an optional license. Lesley does not endorse for Preliminary Licenses. Requirements for all levels and field of license are found at the ESE Licensure-help online.
What is the first step to apply for my Initial or Professional license license?
You should have set up an Educator Licensure and Recruitment account (ELAR), at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and then apply for and pay for the license through ELAR. You must also request an Endorsed Transcript through the Certification website. Please review the "How to Apply for a License" webpage for complete details.
What is an endorsed transcript?
An endorsed transcript, which you must request from the Certification Office upon program completion, is required by the Massachusetts ESE because it certifies to the state that you completed an approved program. Educator licensure language is placed on your Lesley University transcript and remains there and becomes part of your Official Transcript. Below is a sample of the endorsement language, modified for each student according to state, license, program and required state licensure language.
Certification(s): CompletedMAT1EP002B Teacher, Elementary EducationThis student has completed a State approved and NASDTEC recognized program for licensure in Elementary Education (1-6) and is recommended for licensure in this field.Date of Recommendation: 05/12Certification Officer ______________________
Once your transcript is endorsed, the Certification Office also sends an electronic endorsement to the Department through ELAR.
When should I apply for an endorsed transcript?
How long does it take for my endorsed transcript to be sent to the Department and for me to get my license?
The endorsed transcript is usually processed within 7 to 10 business days after receiving your request. A confirmation email is sent to you when the endorsed transcript has been mailed to the ESE, along with an attached PDF of a letter confirming completion of your program, the date it was sent to the Department, and the date that your endorsement information was electronically submitted to the Department. You can use that letter to show employers that your license will be forthcoming. We also send an electronic endorsement to the Department at the same time as mailing the hard copy. The amount of time it takes for ESE to issue the license varies according to the date your application is received, the volume of applications being processed at the time, and the completeness and accuracy of your application.
Do I send my undergraduate transcripts to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education or does Lesley University?
Graduate students are responsible for having an official undergraduate transcript(s) with the registrar's seal showing conferral of degree sent to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, 75 Pleasant St, Malden, MA 02148. If you completed your undergraduate program in another country, you must have an evaluation of the transcript done by a nationally recognized agency and sent to the Department. If you have already applied for and received a preliminary license, then the Department already has a copy of your undergraduate transcript.
I have taught three years in a private school. Does this count on my license? Can I use the experience for moving an Initial to Professional?
You don't have to count the three years on the license clock. You still have 5 years on your license to teach in a public school. However, if you prefer, you may count those years in private school experience if you prefer to use them towards your Professional license.
If I teach three years and then take two years off is my license expired?
No, your license is valid for a total of 5 teaching (on the clock) years. In this case, you will have two years left on your license.
My Initial license is going to expire and I have not earned the Professional license yet. What can I do?
You would need to apply to the ESE for the Initial Extension and submit a plan on how you are going to obtain a Professional license along with a letter of employment indicating that you have completed five years of employment or are in the fifth year of employment, as well as a $25 fee. Your district can request an expedited review of your application.
After I have taught three years and completed the Reading Specialist (All levels) Initial approved licensure program at Lesley University can I use course credits to upgrade my Initial to Professional status?
You can use 12 content course credits from Lesley's Reading Specialist (All levels) Initial license program to advance the following Initial licenses to Professional license: Early Childhood, Elementary Education, Moderate Disabilities, Severe Disabilities.
I received my elementary teaching certificate in 1985 and then worked in corporate settings. What would I need to do to go back to teaching?
You will need to reactivate your license according to the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Recertification Guidelines. The License Renewal (recertification) webpage also explains this. You will need to earn 150 Professional Development Points (PDPs) through coursework and other professional development activities described in the Recertification Guidelines. One 3-credit graduate course will earn 67.5 PDPs. Visit Lesley's Events Page to find out more about PDP opportunities available at Lesley.
I have a Master's in Elementary Education and would like to add a license in Moderate Disabilities or Reading Specialist. Do I need to complete an additional Master's degree?
No, Lesley offers variable credit Licensure-Only programs in Moderate Disabilities and Reading Specialist. Keep in mind that coursework from either of those programs can be used to advance the Elementary Education and Early Childhood Initial licenses to Professional.
I already have an Initial Elementary license. What do I need to do to add an Initial Early Childhood license?
Go to Licensure-Help Online, fill in the drop-down menus, hit "next," and look for the most recent entry. It is sometimes necessary to scroll down the whole screen in order to locate the most current and appropriate entry for your situation. To add the Early Childhood license to an existing Initial Elementary license you are adding a license in a new field and new grade level.
"2005: Educators in Massachusetts earning an additional license in a new field at a new level." You will see the following:
You can click on each requirement to get more details and information.
How can I become certified in another state?
What tests are required for licensure in Massachusetts?
The Communication and Literacy Skills test is needed for all types of license (teachers, specialist teachers, support personnel and administrators). In addition, a Subject Matter test is required for all teaching and specialist teaching subject areas. All candidates for licenses in Early Childhood, Elementary Education and Moderate Special Needs programs must also pass the Foundations of Reading test. Questions regarding the MTEL test can be found on the MTEL FAQ page of our website or our MTEL Student Guide.

Grades have been given out to some of the area's hospitals recognizing their commitment to patient safety via the Hospital Safety Score.
The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits, has awarded Lehigh Valley Health Network A's for their flagship campus in Allentown as well as for their Muhlenberg campus.
The A score was awarded in the latest update to the Hospital Safety Score, the A, B, C, D or F scores assigned to U.S. hospitals based on preventable medical errors, injuries accidents, and infections.
"Hospitals like this that earn an A have demonstrated their commitment to their patients and their community," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "I congratulate Lehigh Valley Hospital and Lehigh Valley Hospital-Muhlenberg for their safety excellence, and look forward to the day when all hospitals will match this standard."
"Our health network's priorities are for all of our physicians, nurses and staff to devote time to our patients by working together and trusting in each other as a team to deliver the highest quality care in the safest environment," said Ronald Swinfard, Lehigh Valley Health Network's president and CEO. "These A scores for hospital safety are evidence of the passion, expertise and compassion demonstrated by all of my colleagues in taking care of our community."
Also awarded grades were three of St. Luke's University Health Network's campuses: Bethlehem received a B; Quakertown was awarded an A; and Coaldale garnered a B. Additionally, Pocono Medical Center received a B; and Grand View Hospital in Sellersville and Palmerton Hospital in Palmerton were awarded Cs.
The Hospital Safety Score was compiled under the guidance of the nation's leading experts on patient safety and is designed to give the public information they can use to protect themselves and their families.
A list of hospitals and their scores can be found at www.hospitalsafetyscore.org

Good point Jerry.
Steven and you are trying to make the consecration about old Russia when it's no longer about old Russia. The new Russia has joined the rest of the human race and cooperates with it. The consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary will again be offered for the world, new Russia inclusive.
By your unbelief, and your refusal to accept assurance that the old Russia has been consecrated and that the old Russia is no more, you have worked yourself into a dead end and you refuse to back out. Let go of your stubborn pride. This dead end deprives you and those like minded from Christ's grace we all need.
Bernard, I believe it pretty plain that you were laughingly scoffing at my statement that Steven's impression, which you agree with, was trash - er, manure to be exact. Now you deny it.
The Pope will soon be offering more nourishment for our souls and all you do is throw rocks at him and those assisting him and imply his predecessors to have been deceivers, while the product of your work turns to piles of dung that keep you and others from participating. It stinks! Stop it.
br> The anticipated consecration is wonderful news. Christ grace will be poured out for the efficacious benefit of the souls in this world that seek it. Why not be one to receive it?
As would Mother Angelica who, live on global television, stated that after JP II's consecration of the world that Russia still had not been consecrated as Our Lady requested.
It is what it is, and it was as it was. We need to accept the reality. Mary made her request at a point in human history. It has passed. We Catholics and the Church moves onward and lives on, with the continued guidance of the Holy Spirit.
As much as I respect what Mother Angelica had to say some time ago, it still is just her opinion. And based on what I too knew then I would have tended to agree with her. Yet we have never been privy to all the facts. We, nor her (Mother Angelica), were or still are in as good as a position as were JPII, B16 and as is the current pope, and I render obedience and confidence to that authority (the ordinary magisterium in union with the pope) over that of Mother Angelica's previous comment.
I have not known Mother Angelica to trash JPII or B16 as deceivers. She did not spread discord. Those things I strongly object against. It's uncalled for and cannot be justified. So, those that do it get my rebuke.
I am sure I will be blasted for this, but here goes anyway. Yes, this will be the third but each was done to a different purpose. In 1942, Pope Pius XII embraced humanity and announced the age of the Church had begun a call to faith in action. In 1982, John Paul II reaffirmed the consecration this time including Russia and all who had not heeded the previous call a healing act to unite the world under Marys loving guidance. Pope Francis will be merely taking the final step, this time to guide the entire world toward Christs peace within the Universal Church Community under the protection and care of Our Ladys loving heart. I applaud and give thanks for an action that is so much needed and so perfectly timed.
"When all is said and done, our primary responsibility is not the conversion of Russia or the prevention of world wars, but the salvation of that little world within ourselves over which, with God's help, we must exercise control, and for which we shall one day have to render an account to God in judgment. What will it profit us, even if Russia is converted and an era of peace be granted to humanity, if we have failed in the great task for which we were created, the salvation of our own immortal souls." - Msgr. William McGrath

Ive been in retirement for the last two years, but Ive been in the gym every day since and the competitive fire has still been burning inside of me, Pellegrino said. Every morning I wake up I realize I had the same dream as the night before, and its to go out the way I want. With Bellator back in Atlantic City, this is my opportunity to end my nightmare and go out the way I want, the way I deserve.

Pawleys Island, S.C. — The Citizens Coalition for Ocean Highway is continuing its quest to get Georgetown County and the state Department of Transportation to reconsider a plan to close the median along U.S. Highway 17 in Pawleys Island.
The group will be rallying supporters and discussing its own plan for the highway at a fundraiser tonight.
One of the misconceptions the group is fighting is that the landscaping in the median will be similar to what drivers see when passing through Litchfield.
"It will be a far cry from Litchfield," said Steve Goggans, one of the coalition's founders.
He believes the confusion began with a "heavy sales pitch" of graphics and images of beautifully landscaped medians presented at public hearings on the project last year.
"The support that was garnered at the public hearings was based on a false premise," Goggans said. "Everybody thought 'what's wrong with this looking like Litchfield?'"
In reality, the landscaping in the Litchfield median is no longer allowed by SCDOT due to safety issues.
According to officials at the Waccamaw Regional Council of Governments, landscaping in the SCDOT plan, which includes dwarf youpon holly, dwarf palm, crape myrtle, pink muhly grass, groundcover and juniper, will cover 3,800 feet of the 9,300 feet of median.
The coalition also believes the places where drivers will be expected to make U-turns are not wide enough to accommodate tractor-trailers and other large trucks, and emergency vehicles.
The two lanes on either side of the highway are 24 feet across. The SCDOT plan includes the installation of several "bulbs" or "loons," which are paved areas that vehicles can use while making a U-turn. These areas, however, do not include acceleration lanes for vehicles after they've made the U-turn.
The turning radius for a car is 30 feet, so the "bulbs" can probably accommodate that. The turning radius for tractor-trailers and fire trucks is 40 feet.
"It's going to be a challenge," Goggans said.
Mark Pender, an outside sales rep for Builders First Source, agrees.
His company's facility on Tiller Drive dispatches three 40-foot trucks every day and receives 10 to 15 tractor-trailers every day. If the median is closed, those trucks will no longer be able to go north on Highway 17 from Tiller Drive.
Pender believes truck drivers will instead take Petigru Road, which has no sidewalks, through the Parkersville neighborhood to access Martin Luther King Road.
"When you introduce a tractor-trailer and a pedestrian, that's not a good thing," Pender said.
Some trailers are 53-feet long and are pulled by cabs that are 20 feet long, adding up to 73 feet of vehicle trying to make a U-turn, he added. Pender is also worried about the numerous tourists driving mobile homes or RVs with cars in tow behind them.
"The road's not wide enough to make a U-turn," he said.
He supports leaving the median the way it is now.
"I think the paved median is the right answer," Pender said. "I don't see digging it up and putting flowers in there is a good answer."

Coastal Christian baseball completed the season sweep of Lowcountry Homeschool with a 10-1 win Thursday in Mount Pleasant.
Seth White hit 4 for 4 with four RBIs and a run scored, while Connor Barrett went 3 for 3 with three RBIs and a run scored to lead Coastal at the plate.
Cory McDonald earned the win for Coastal in his first appearance on the mound this season. McDonald was nearly perfect, allowing just one walk, no hits while striking out eight over three innings. Cole McDonald and Hayden Riley combined to allow one hit and strike out seven over the final four innings.
Ryan Galloway scored early for Lowcountry off a passed ball in the top of the first inning. Coastal responded with three runs in the bottom frame and another three in the second inning. White drove a two-run double into right field with two outs in the second inning to open a 6-1 Coastal advantage.
Barrett singled to score Cory McDonald in the fourth and brought in two more runs in the fifth with a single to left field to score Jake Fournier and Kai Allen.

By Air Force Tech. Sgt. Kevin WallaceSpecial to American Forces Press Service
BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, May 27, 2008 The poem inscribed on the Statue of Liberty beckons "Give me your poor, your tired, your huddled masses longing to be free," but on this Memorial Day, quite the opposite was true, as 44 members of the U.S. military marched forward to become America's newest citizens.
In the presence of the Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, U.S. Immigration Service Acting Director Jonathan Scharfen and Army Maj. Gen. Jeffrey J. Schloesser, commander of Combined Joint Task Force 101, 44 servicemembers from 21 countries swore oaths of allegiance and became U.S. citizens.
"On behalf of President Bush and a grateful nation, I say, 'Welcome,'" Chertoff said to the new American citizens.
The ceremony brought the number of military men and women who have gained citizenship while deployed to Afghanistan since beginning the war on terror to 312, said Stacy K. Strong, deputy district director of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand. According to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service fact sheet, more than 39,000 servicemembers have become U.S. citizens since the beginning of the war.
"There is no honor greater than presiding over an oath ceremony, and there is no better place to do it than here," Chertoff said. "You have all earned your citizenship through your service. Starting today, America is as much your country as it is mine."
Under an executive order, legal permanent residents actively serving in the U.S. military and honorably discharged legal permanent residents who were on active duty on or after Sept. 11, 2001, are eligible to apply for naturalization.
"This feels really great -- closure to the 'history' chapter in my life and the beginning of my future," said Army Pvt. Mark Paguio, a Philippine native who led the other servicemembers in their recital of the Pledge of Allegiance. "Becoming a U.S. citizen has opened many doors," he said.
For the 44 servicemembers who are serving in Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom or the International Security Assistance Force, the oath was an affirmation of what they have worked so hard to secure.
"This day means everything to me," said Marine Lance Cpl. Artem Starovoyt, a Ukraine native who now resides in Philadelphia. "I have been out on the front lines doing what I can for my nation, and now I can officially call America home."
The servicemembers who took the citizenship oath are from Jamaica, Colombia, the Philippines, Peru, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Australia, Poland, Ghana, Iran, Mexico, El Salvador, Haiti, Sierra Leone, Trinidad and Tobago, Germany, Cuba, Nigeria, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Ukraine.

Its not the game, its the people. GW2 practically forced you to do events with other people, so if they decide to not talk while doing it them its their own fault and not the games. Most people now a days only talk in global or map chat to A: Answer a question B: Ask a question or C: TROLL. Join guild. hop on their voip server and talk to THEM. People are generally pretty anti social now a days its not the games fault for that.

I really do not see your point OP, I assume you are talking about grouping for PvE with your rant. I have not found a need to group at all this far in my travels for PvE. I have 5 characters, 36 is the highest so far also a 31 two 25's and a 23. I have not tried the first dungeon yet because I was wrapped up in the story lines and completeing maps 100%.
In a way your already grouped with everyone on the server. I like just running around exploring whatever I feel like running to with no plan at all, plans or following others is boring for me and if I had to group just to explore the game would not be as fun. Everywhere I go though there is atleast 1 or 2 others people there so I just hang along side them and chat a little, if they respond great if not no big deal for me. If I see people fighting something I run over and help out or heal them if they have fallen.
This game is actually pretty hard to chat and explore at the same time since you always have to pay attention to what your doing. I miss alot of stuff in guild chat or map chat because I don't have time to sit there and read it all while trying to navigate, fight, stay alive and collect stuff at the same time.
WvW we group up with guild members and thats about the only time I actually grouped with anyone yet. But for PvE, I love the freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want without being ball and chained to a group that wants to go down a certain path that I may want to go another way.

The main reason to play TSW is the storyline. The main reason not to play is hmmm character development (crafting, occupation, house/ cabal-projects). Also, completing the epic epic storyline left me empty with a feelig of just having finished a wonderful journey (no pun intended).

If the problem is with actual text chat give the game another month. People are wanting to play the game right now.
I see it as a good sign when people don't want to sit and chat in general a few weeks after release.

A monkey poured coffee in my boots
I had to create a seperate tab just for guild and switch to it because /map kept spamming so quickly it was pushing out guild chat before I could read it, so not sure what we are talking about here. I feel far more social in this game than I have in a long time. To me, being social is helping each other complete the events, fighting through waves of mobs to help get a downed person up, watching a guardian push to the front to try and protect people the people behind them that they have never met, watching an ele switch weapons so they can cast their heals and support spells so that everyone can complete the event, that is as social as you can get, and to me blows what any other game has done in a long time out of the water.
Forced grouping, or even dungeon grouping is not social. I must have completed 100+ dungeons in the dungeon finder in WoW without anyone ever saying a word, and I cant tell you how many group quests I completed in SWTOR where no one said a word after the initial group was formed.
People may not chit chat through the DE's, but to me the actions of all the players around you makes it a great social experience.

It's true that you don't have to set up a group or talk to other players in order to play together, but I find the best thing about the gw2 system is that you can just dive in and help others first, and then this often leads to a conversation later - and usually a pleasant one due to the feeling of cameraderie which has grown in the shared battle.
I think while we're all quite new to the game a lot of people are still figuring out how to play, and in busy events there always seems to be something happening, so sometimes I find it's all you can do to bash out a quick 'thanks' to the guy who comes and rezzes you, before the next wave of the event starts. This is most often the case at busy times when there are loads of players for each event.
At quieter times though, it's different. Yesterday I was playing at about 5am (a quiet time for me before work when the kids are still asleep) and got involved in a boss fight at the end of an event chain in Kessex Hills. There were two other players, and we kept going at the bandit foreman, getting downed, rezzing each other and coming back from the waypoint. Even though we didn't manage to kill the boss in the end it was all great fun and I ended up chatting to these two players for ages afterwards.

These past years and a multitude of MMO's later has proven this point many times over..
Just bacause a game has a auto group feature , did they really expect players to talk..the group is already formed so what more is there to talk about then ???
Strategy ? Hmm..I guess these solo missions really needs a strategy !!
It's the age of mainstreaming and solitude, and It will not go away..
TSW is the best alternative for you thou, If you want a new MMO atleast,,sure it has alot of solo stuff in this game aswell, but the group missions are really really good and demands alot from your group..

I have never ever seen this in any MMO, ever, we been a guild that loves to talk to our members and hang out, and we see the opposite from new members and from recruiting, them saying we have to use TS no way, we have to sign up to a forum no way!!
So its a joke in this game, if I wanted a single player game, I would NOT have a guild and I would play Skyrim more often and alone.. Sad but the OP is correct, also I seen most people join guilds just for the upgrades.....
They want guilds of 200 people, which is a Joke, I have ran guilds with 4k members and its full of drama and most big guilds to explode, we been around and done well with being a guild of 50 members in each game, we also complete all content with that amount..
Sometimes we may go to 100 but very rare. Maybe we are old school,. we like to hang out and get to know people for years not just for a few months, I dont get alot of gamers today, so anti social.

if I ask a question I get trolled. Sometimes I get an answer, but never a discussion.
any time I say something silly .. to try and lighten the mood or start a conversation, I get crickets.
in fact anytime I say anything that isn't really troll worthy, all I get is crickets.
maybe you should stop assuming we aren't trying to be social?

Hey here's an idea, lets suggest Anet that they remove the shared contribution system, so that everyone needs to group up manually for each event before engaging in it! No wait, lets not suggest that, since it's stupid D'OH!
I dont recall anyone talking in Rifts invasions either, or in TOR's heroic quests, in WoW people dont talk for a fact since there's not even any group content in that game on the open world. But I know for a fact that people are talking to eachother, I talk with my brother when we play, and I talk with some friends on my guild often, maybe try to make some friends if feeling a bit lonely? It helps. Sometimes I go totally nuts and chat with some complete strangers about builds and stuff!

I played the game and I'm not being sarcastic, I've tried to talk to people lots and lots with no response most of the time, in map talk theres usually just no response and in /s people just walk past you etc.
Thing is this game is designed in such a way you dont need to talk to others in order to complete stuff, 95% of the time you can just go with the zerg and finish your task then back to solo again or simply follow the zerg for something new unless they simply instantly port away to a waypoint in order to run their DE loop.

There's a major gap trying to compare more modern faster paced MMO to Everquest or Shadowbane where you had camps and one person pulling while everyone else waited for the pull and sat on thier asses. Downtime leads to chat. Guild Wars 2 has no downtime other than being dead and waiting for a rez, which most people take the time to type, "ty".
Join a guild, get ventrillo or skype and talk to friends while you game. You can't blame the game for being anti-social when it's entirely up to the player.

I'm going to have to agree also. GW2 is probably the most anti-social friendly MMO I've seen. Sure some people will find it easy to make friends and what not, but the problem is the forced grouping system. As past posters have said, everyone is ALWAYS in a group, no communication necessary. Basically you run around to different events and do them beside other people not with them. You're not working as a team, you just happen to have similar goals in the same area. It's like if they let exclamation quests share with non group members just for tagging a mob (oh wait....dynamic events).
Guilds, dungeons, sure whatever, but the major problem really is how you FEEL like you're halfway part of some larger group (read: posts above). BUT you're not actually in social contact with any of them, nobody talks or anything. This isn't anything bad, anti-social as I am, I prefer this "soloing." Its actually no different from playing with NPC henchmen. But just looking at the stuff above you can see that people think they're "grouping." I dunno, maybe the feeling is different for everyone. But to me these dynamic events feel like soloing.

Everything that everyone loathes about Washington was present in the fiscal cliff bill just passed by Congress. It is 153 pages long; most members probably hadnt read all of it before voting on it; it was delivered in the middle of the night; it was loaded with pork the mothers milk (to mix a metaphor) of politicians and while the country is already swamped with massive debt, it contains massive giveaways to satisfy interest groups and campaign contributors. Did I mention the bill raises taxes on top of the coming Obamacare taxes, but does nothing nothing to address the debt problem?
As with previous congresses, this one (again) delayed the debt issue for two months and will have to face it again, along with what to do about the debt ceiling. Only expletives that cant be printed in a family newspaper accurately characterize this bunch, so Ill have to settle for pathetic, unprincipled and irresponsible.
This fiscal cliff was a construct created by Congress. The additional revenue from productive businesses and individuals earning more than $400,000 and couples making $450,000 wont put more than the tiniest dent in the deficit and do nothing about the $16 trillion debt. According to the Congressional Budget Office the ratio of new taxes to spending cuts is 41 to 1. This assumes the cuts actually materialize, which is unlikely. If they do, they will merely be window dressing.
Weve seen it all before. Democrats play this game more effectively than a nimble-handed magician. According to Americans for Tax Reform, in 1982, congressional Democrats promised President Reagan $3 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax hikes. Reagan agreed. He got the tax hikes immediately, but had his political pocket picked when Democrats never came through with the spending cuts.
It was the same with President George H.W. read my lips, no new taxes Bush. In 1990, Bush agreed to $2 in spending cuts for every $1 in tax hikes. The tax hikes went through Not a single penny of the promised spending cuts actually happened.
Democrats run this play so often you would think by now Republicans might have devised a better defense. But just like the smear that Republicans are anti-woman because they oppose spending tax dollars on free contraceptives and abortion, or lack compassion for the poor because they oppose increasing federal programs that dont actually help the poor become less so, Republicans get trapped into voting to increase taxes in exchange for more empty promises to cut spending eventually. And the country is the one that loses.
Conservatives sent a large number of tea party members to the House in the 2010 election, hoping to fix government. It hasnt worked because the political culture there has been contaminated by an untreatable virus and even those with the best intentions soon acquire the infection.
Eighty-five Republicans voted for the monstrous bill (151 stood on principle and voted against it) because their leaders said that if they didnt it would hurt the partys chances in the next election. Think of how the media would treat them. One didnt have to be in the room to hear what was said because its always the same. Give up your principles because the next election is paramount. And after the next election and the one after it, nothing changes.
The country should make up its mind. Do we want a government that lives within the boundaries of the Constitution limited, financially stable and spending only on what the Constitution says it should or, do we want a nation whose initials should be changed to ATM, dispensing goodies to any and all without regard to the financial health and welfare of this and future generations?
Passage of this bill seems to indicate the choice has been made and ATM has won. It is a sorry affair for which we, and future generations, will be sorry, indeed.

Both communities center around a small downtown shopping hub dotted with clothing boutiques, antique stores, cafés, wine bars and realty offices.
Condominiums and apartments sit atop the retail on the second and third floors.

"I want to reduce the amount of concrete and reduce the amount of face curb," Beruff said. "You can't tell where the single-family and multi-family end because they all commingle together. It's just a great look. It creates a sense of neighborhood."
The brick paver roads in the central part of town are narrowed to reduce speeding, with thin curbing and parallel parking for house guests.
Pedestrians on bikes and upscale golf-carts almost outnumber the motorists.
The entire village is connected through trail walkways that snake from the residential to the resort and commercial areas, with dozens of small pocket parks adorned by benches and trees.

Beruff hopes to create a similar vision for the 2,700 residences he is planning for Long Bar Pointe — with comparable size and density to WaterColor.
But for the development to become as successful, Beruff also knows he must find a reason to bring local traffic into the community, so it is not exclusively dependent on district homeowners and resort guests.
That is where Long Bar's proposed boardwalk comes into play.

Christian Sillanpaa's single to right field in the bottom of the ninth inning pushed across the winning run in Goose Creek's 3-2 playoff victory over Beaufort on Thursday night. The second-seeded Gators (13-9) loaded the bases with one out to set the stage for Sillanpaa.
Goose Creek now hosts Ridge View (15-10) on Saturday at 1 p.m. in the District V winner's bracket game. The fourth-seeded Blazers upset top-seeded Lexington 4-2 on Thursday.
Third-seeded Beaufort faces elimination at Lexington (16-8) on Saturday.
"I've been coaching 18 years and that's one of my most enjoyable wins," GCHS coach Chris Pond said. "To come through in a game like that was special. Both teams were fighting back and forth."
Bryce Jonason earned the win in relief of starter Cody Smith. Jonason tossed a scoreless top of the ninth despite loading the bases. Left fielder Kyle Moore's lunging catch inches from the fence for the final out denied the Eagles. Smith threw 123 pitches and struck out 16 batters, one short of tying the school record, in his eight innings of work.
Mattison Pike took the loss for Beaufort. He walked three batters and allowed Sillanpa's game-winner while getting just one out.
Bradley Brown threw eight innings for the Eagles, scattering seven hits and striking out four batters.
Tyler Rio had three hits to lead the Gators, who had eight hits as a team. Smith added a pair of hits. Singleton had an RBI single in the first and Smith hit a sacrifice fly to right field in the third inning.
Both of Beaufort's runs came in the top of the second inning. Jesse Sanborn doubled in the first run and Smith walked in the other. A diving grab by Singleton in center prevented Beaufort from doing further damage in the second. Leadoff hitter Brady Cormier was the only Eagle with two hits.
Beaufort 020 000 000 - 2 5 0

Adoption Story:
Adopting Darcy was not planned. My son, Brandon and I were at the game and happened to walk by the dogs. She was the sweetest one there. Brandon begged for us to bring her home. So I called home and said, "We are bringing home a dog." She has been a part of our family for almost 11 years now and is still the sweetest pup. Adopting her was the best decision we made.

Welcome! I'll keep it in mind about Biblemaster.
willieH: Hi brother, Jbsvette! Welcome bro! Take it from me, Redkora, Biblemaster.com is NOT for the Christian, who is FAINT of HEART... The salivating wolves of ET await the proponents of UR... so be prepared for an onslaught of misbehavior from ones which propose Chrisitianity (no moderators there so anything goes!):My brother Jbsvette, is a very brave one indeed! I can attest to that! As is Gizmo!Welcome Jim. It's much better over here than BM. (More like BS as far as I'm concerned.) I have to do hours of study many times just to answer one post. If you quote the wrong scripture, they are all over you like a mad dog. I believe I was led there and want to support my UR brothers and sisters any way I can. The sadness I feel after reading the posts and hearing the gnashing of teeth can cause me much sadness. But, Jesus had a lot of sadness in his life trying to show the false teachers truth. It just comes with the territory.Jim, you are a good soldier for your King and he will bless you much for the stand you have taken to fight the good fight of faith.

I have my company name embroidered in the same color as the pineapple on the sleeve. This is the perfect shirt for casual work days. It also looks great under a blazer. I just wish that there was a long sleeved version. I order a size larger than I normally wear because, to me, they run a bit small.

Maybe you missed it in the theaters, but now is your chance to buy or rent The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys when it releases on DVD and VHS, Tuesday, Nov. 5.
For anyone not familiar with the project, Altar Boys is an independent film distributed by ThinkFilm and produced by Jodie Foster's Egg Pictures, based on the 1992 debut novel by Chris Fuhrman. Starring Kieran Culkin, Jena Malone, Jodie Foster, Emile Hirsch and Vincent D'Onofrio, this R-rated film is a coming-of-age drama from director Peter Care. The main characters are budding comic artists and the film uses nearly 20 minutes of Todd McFarlane's comic-style animation as a storytelling device.
When it opened in June, the media coverage was positive, with everyone from USA Today to Rosie O'Donnell giving the film praise. Foster, who also stars in the film, appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman and gave kudos to Todd's animation after showing a promotional clip.
McFarlane fans will enjoy the DVD Special Edition. Several extra features involve him, including the following as named on the DVD menu:
Animated scenes
Commentary of animated scenes with animation producer Todd McFarlane
Anatomy of a Scene (from the Sundance Channel program)
FeaturetteAdditionally, spawn.com can be accessed from Web site links on the DVD ROM.
The DVD and VHS will be available everywhere. And, as always, the spawn.com prize patrol in on the case. We have five copies of the DVD to give away as part of the Altar Boys DVD Contest. Four winners will receive a copy of the DVD along with an 11-by-17 movie poster signed by Todd. One grand-prize winner will get the DVD along with a 37-by-29 movie promo poster known as a one-sheet that is signed by Todd, Jodie, Jena, Emile and Kieran.
Winners will be randomly selected from e-mails sent to firstname.lastname@example.com that include the sender's name, regular mailing address, phone number and date of birth. Incomplete e-mails will be deleted as will duplicate entries, so please enter only once. As this is an R-rated movie, you must be 17 or older to enter. Entry deadline is Thursday, Nov. 7 at noon PST. Winners will be announced Friday, Nov. 8.

Average Customer Review4.0 (8 reviews)
Create an online reviewand share your thoughts with other customers
Things I liked:This is one nice scope! At this price, I was a bit skeptical, but this is fantastic. I actually purchased this for a friend of mine and we mounted it up on his Crosman rifle. The clarity of the optics is amazing. Centerpoint is one of the top manufactures of optics in this price range in my opinion. I can't speak highly enough of Crosman's customer service either.
Things I would have changed:Nothing!
What others should know:I own the Leapers 4-16 x50MM. These two scopes are almost identical.
Things I liked:Once Zero has been set, accuracy is on from 50 to 100Yd.
Things I would have changed:Gradicule lettering is way too light. Hard to see with these old eyes. Make deeper cut and white paint.
What others should know:This is a great scope and my first 3-9X50. Estimating range is my most difficult task. Too long and I miss over the target. But when I have it correct I can hit what I am aming at. Very pleased.
Things I liked:center point scopes
Things I would have changed:I couldn't see any of the numbers on dials. they were brown, and almost not there at all. In the house , under a 100 watt bulb, glassses on, still could not see. Has any body had this problem? I have many center point scopes and all the numbers on the dials are bright white and visible. I like the 4x16x40
What others should know:I wanted 50mm opticts, didnt work out. Pyramid Air made it right and now i have 4x16x40 on the disco and mrod. I purchased the high leaper rings for both guns, great price. maybe the quest needs new glass as well.

The Vampire Diaries
Why does Elena Gilbert Look Like Katherine? You Asked, We Answer!
In sloshing through questions we've received from Vampire Diaries fans, we found this little gem waiting for us like a shiny newborn vamp: Why does Elena (Nina Dobrev) look like Katherine (Nina Dobrev)?
Brace yourselves, folks, because the answer is as simple as it is complex. To address what is the more obvious part of this question: Elena and Katherine are played by the same actress, and that's why they look... exactly the same. Buh duh bump!
But why have two twins haunting the same small town? Well, that's where the convoluted part comes in. Turns out that Elena is a doppelganger of Katherine. More specifically, though, they are both Petrova Doppelgangers, which are extremely rare and have a kind of good twin/bad twin edge. (We bet you can guess who the good twin is!)
The doppelganger history also explains why Damon (Ian Somerhalder) and Stefan (Paul Wesley) felt so drawn to Elena — for them, it was like seeing the ghost of loves past.
Interestingly enough, a Petrova is also necessary for people like Klaus (Joseph Morgan): he need them in order to complete rituals. (As in, turning werewolves, like Tyler (Michael Trevino), into hybrids.) Which explains why Klaus was ever so distraught at Elena's recent roll to the world of the undead. Now that she's a vamp, there goes his Petrova Doppelganger and all those precious hybrids...For now, at least.
Does that answer your question? Make sure to keep sending us more!

Second Half Surge Propels Hawks to Win
- Release Date:
- January 17, 2013
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
BUFFALO, NY – Hilbert's huge 49-point second-half surge propelled the Hawks to a 71 – 53 victory at D'Youville College January 17. With the win, the Hawks move to 7-3 and hold onto 4th placed in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference standings with eight games remaining. D'Youville dropped to 1-7 and 2-13 overall.
Anthony Hodge secured game high honors with 19 points followed by freshman teammate Jerame Owens' 18. Both Hawks grabbed nine rebounds and played a big role defensively; Owens finished with three blocks and two steals and Hodge swiped six steals.
Trevor Stark came off the bench and added 11 points, five assists and three steals. Dan McFarland passed for seven assists with his seven points. D'Youville's Alex Akpan earned the game's only double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds.
The hosts took a 32 – 22 half time lead after shooting 50% from the floor while holding the Hawks to 31% shooting and shutting them down from beyond the arc (0-7). Hodge and Owens combined for 12 of the 22 half time tallies.
Owens hit three straight shots and Stark hit a three-pointer in Hilbert's 13-2 run to open the second half. Both teams traded baskets their next three possessions before Hilbert exploded offensively and sprinted away from the Spartans. Balanced touches and scoring on the court made it difficult for D'Youville to defend Hilbert.
Hilbert improved to 50% shooting from the floor while holding the Spartans to 25% in the second half. By the final horn, the Hawks out-rebounded D'Youville by four (43-39) and fought for 17 offensive boards, and swatted a team total five blocks.
The Hawks return to Hamburg this weekend when they host Franciscan University January 19 at 3pm.
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.

Student Spotlight on Katelyn Moore
Student Spotlight: Katelyn Moore
Kent State University junior Katelyn Moore is an intelligent and ambitious student. Moore was looking for a major that would open future opportunities for a successful career in a rapidly growing industry. She believes she found the perfect fit with the Bachelor's Degree in Insurance Studies Degree at Kent State Salem.
"I plan to utilize the many capabilities that pursuing a degree in Insurance Studies will provide," she said. "Someday I hope to be employed for a company that will allow me to work toward positions of leadership; I think that having the ability to advance in a place of employment is a significant quality."Moore knew she was interested in business and was looking to find a niche that suited her. "When I read about the new Insurance Studies Major on Kent State's website I knew it was the right choice," she said. "I am very family-oriented, so being close to home has always been a priority of mine," Moore said. "I do not think there this a better industry for someone who plans to live and work in Ohio.
"Moore recalls a personal situation several years ago when the help of insurance agents was critical. "I was in middle school when our garage caught on fire and I remember there being
a gentleman who came to our house to take pictures of the damage, and another gentleman who my mother spoke to on the phone about replacing specific items, he knew all the details about our insurance policy and was able to assist us during the difficult time," she said. "Both men were very helpful to my family and I look forward to the day when I can help families in similar situations."
Kent State is the only private or public university in Northeast Ohio offering a degree that directly links to Ohio's growing insurance sector. By 2016, Ohio's insurance industry workforce is projected to grow by 7.1 percent. Additional employment opportunities also become available as an estimated 25 percent of the industry workforce plan on retiring by 2016.Our graduates will be qualified to pursue a career as a broker, claims examiner, loss prevention specialist, risk manager, underwriter, actuary, claims adjuster and more.
For more information on the new Bachelor's Degree in Insurance please visit www.col.kent.edu/insurance or 1-877-KENT-EDU.

Overall, jet buyers and sellers seem about evenly matched. But some models are in much greater demand than others. Gazing through the rearview mirror at the first half of 2013, we see that, overall, the number of used jets for sale is neither rising nor contracting. Some models are a different matter, however.

Of course not counting the lower receiver.
Way back when I was "assembling" AR15's (I had one of the first SGW CNC machined lowers, ugly by today's stanards), you would buy parts kits that were really a "parts kit.
I mean everything was in a bag, not like today where the upper receiver is a complete assembly.
Any way, after do some searching, I have not found a vendor that provides a total "parts" kit. I mean even the rear A2 sight should be in a bag (not assembled).
Does anyone know of a vendor that provides a total "in the bag" AR15 parts kit? Reason, I will be doing a CD to go with my AK-47 Build CD on how to assemble an AR15. So I need everything in a bag.
Any help in this quest will be greatly appreciated.

It is not hard to see things as they really are, it is simply a matter of tearing down walls, ridding oneself of defenses and presumption, rendering oneself vulnerable, an idiot, a fool.
But it is not easy to see things as they really are, because it is painful, it is real, it requires response, it's an incredible commitment.
To go nine-tenths of the way is to suffer at every moment utter madness.
To go all the way is to become sane.
Most people prefer blindness.
But most people are a dying race.
- Paul Williams, Das Energi (1973)
