A true hero and son of Logan County was honored Thursday by having the bridge into his neighborhood named for and dedicated to him.
Local officials, court employees, attorneys, veterans, Kiwanians, Rotarians, Lions club members, friends and family gathered together to surprise Edward I. Eiland. Mr. Eiland was told he was going to the Kiwanis Club meeting and had no idea about the bridge dedication.
"Oh, for heaven's sake," said Mr. Eiland when he found out what was going on and the crowd pressed in to congratulate him.
Mr. Eiland is a well-respected attorney in Logan, working for the people of Logan County for more than 60 years. He is an active member of the Kiwanis Club of Logan, a volunteer for the Salvation Army, a volunteer musician for The Aracoma Story Inc. musical productions and a supporter of the Logan Wildcats athletics, as well as a member of the WVU Alumni Marching Band. On November 19, 2011, Eiland was named a hometown hero, with the celebration aired on WSAZ TV3.
During the Hometown Hero celebration, Judge Eric O'Briant had the following exchange with Mr. Eiland: "It was November 18, 1948 when his legal career began and he is still going strong," said Judge O'Briant. "If you all think I am retiring, you had best disabuse yourself of that notion because (longtime assistant) Nancy (Kirkendoll) won't let me quit," the normally low-key Mr. Eiland quipped. "Lord, I am here because you let me be here. I have no complaints."
The City of Logan had declared Nov. 19, 2011, as Ed Eiland Day in his honor.
Members of Mr. Eiland's family were on hand, including his neice Stephanie Goldberg, his nephew Stuart Eiland and his son Pete Eiland. Pete sproke with pride about his father's service in the U.S. Marines. Eiland served in World War II and was at Iwo Jima , along with Roger Bryant's father, when the flag was raised.
Mr. Eiland was awarded the Silver Star for his service. The citation reads as follows: "The citation for The President of the United States of America takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star to First Lieutenant Edward I. Eiland (MCSN: 0-17239), United States Marine Corps Reserve, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity as Communications Officer of the Second Battalion, Twenty-fifth Marines, FOURTH Marine Division, in action against enemy Japanese forces on Saipan, Marianas Islands, 15 June 1944. Although painfully wounded shortly after landing, First Lieutenant Eiland refused evacuation and, in the face of intense enemy fire, carried a heavy radio set over 300 yards to the battalion command post. Upon arriving at the post, he began coordination of the means of signal communication within the battalion and, when a radio operator was wounded, operated the set himself until a relief could be obtained. His courage and devotion to duty reflect the highest credit upon First Lieutenant Eiland and the United States Naval Service."
W.Va. Senator Art Kirkendoll read House Concurrent Resolution No. 5 (By Delegates Rupert "Rupie" Phillips and Ted Tomblin) requesting the Division of Highways to rename the Middleburg Bridge over the Guyandotte River, near the Middleburg settlement, Logan County, bridge number 23-10/73-0.01, the "Edward I. Eiland Bridge".
The resolution reads: "Whereas, Edward I. Eiland was born on February 3, 1920; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland graduated from Logan High School in 1937 and from West Virginia University, where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa academic honor society, in 1940; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland matriculated at the West Virginia University College of Law, but chose to interrupt his legal education to enter the Marine Corps after the Second World War began; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland served in the Pacific with the Fourth Marine Division, and took part in landings on Kwajalein Atoll, Saipan, Tinian and Iwo Jima; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland was awarded both the Purple Heart for wounds incurred in action during the invasion of Saipan and the Silver Star for bravery in the same campaign; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland returned to the West Virginia College of Law, where he served as a member of the Board of Editors of the West Virginia Law Quarterly, and graduated in 1946; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland returned to Logan County, where he served as Assistant Prosecutor, attorney for the City of Logan, Mental Hygiene Commissioner, and where he continues to work in private practice; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland is a longtime member of the Logan County, West Virginia and American Bar Associations, and received the West Virginia Bar Association's inaugural Award of Merit in 1997 for his outstanding lifetime of distinguished service to the profession; and
Whereas, Edward I. Eiland has served the public as a Boy Scouts leader, a member of the Kiwanis Club (since March 19, 1953), a 58-year member and two-time Post Commander of the Gunther-McNeely-Nowlin Post of the American Legion, and President of the B'Nai El of Logan; and
Whereas, It is fitting and proper, that Edward I. Eiland be honored for his courageous Marine Corps service, his many contributions to the legal profession and his countless hours of public service to the community of Logan and the state of West Virginia; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:
That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to rename the Middleburg Bridge over the Guyandotte River, near the Middleburg settlement, Logan County, bridge number 23-10/73-0.01, the "Edward I. Eiland Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Division of Highways is hereby requested to have made and be placed signs identifying the bridge as the "Edward I. Eiland Bridge"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Secretary of the Department of Transportation and to Mr. Edward I. Eiland."
Kirkendoll congratulated Mr. Eiland and told him, "I want to let you know that we, in the last two sessions, have taken the opportunity to show honor and gratitude to people like you in our region and around the state, but it's common knowledge that when we were working on this, we feel like you may have been the most deserving people that we ever decided to do this for."
Mr. Eiland said, "Well, I'm overwhelmed, but not speechless. Thank you. I was thinking around this time, of the end of WWII, which ended in August of 1945. I will never forget the feeling I felt when I learned that the war was over. It was such a terrible time. I was thinking the next landing would be Japan. I dreaded the thought of it. I thank you all. I was born in Logan in 1920. I'll die here."
Prosecutor John Bennett stepped up to speak. "I came about two weeks out of law school and Mr. Eiland, Mrs. Eiland and Pete had my future wife and myself over to their home here at Midleberg for dinner. He wanted to be sure my future wife had a chance to see Logan, she's from Sutton, and so she would have a chance to realize where this was where she wanted to settle down also. There was never a better spokesman for Logan and Logan County than Mr. Eiland. He truly is a Wildcat at heart. You know by the ball games he has attended, the support he has given the school, town, county and lawyers. He doesn't like bad lawyer jokes. He has always been hard working. Many times in the office we would discuss strategy in various cases and would explain what could be done legally, oftentimes he would say that may be legal, but that's not right, so we're not going to do that. He's always tried to do what was right. He accepted me, Mr. Eiland and his wife and Pete accepted me and my wife like we were family and treated me as such. That's why I stayed here and why when people ask me where I'm from, it's Logan County."
Judge O'Briant commented that Mr. Eiland was the most senior member of the Bar present, then called on Doug Witten to comment.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Eiland for 44 years. I know I don't look it, but I am that old. Mr. Eiland had been an example for all of us to follow for honesty, hard work, and my office used to be located in the National Bank Building and I would go and push the elevator button and Mr. Eiland, who was a few years older than me would take the stairs. He always took the stairs until recently," said Witten, then he spoke to Mr. Eiland, "If all lawyers would be as honest and hard working as you've been, then I think we would have a lot better Bar. Thank you very much."
Judge O'Briant noted that there were three mayors present and called on them to comment.
"I want to say two things: this is a day I will probably never forget. I love you, Mr. Eiland and when I grow up, I want to be like Mr. Eiland," said former Logan Mayor Gary Hylton.
Next to speak was former Logan Mayor Tom Esposito. "I had the honor of being mayor for 16 years. Mr. Eiland was the best attorney, no disrespect to any of the other attorneys, and the best City Attorney I ever worked with. His famous quote to me was, "Tom, you can't do that." We would be in meetings or I would go to his office and the first thing he would say was "Tom, you can't do that." He really served the city. I could call him morning, noon or night and he was always there. He is my neighbor right down the street," then to Eiland, "We love you. I know my parents really thought a lot of you. I know if anybody deserved this, it's you."
Current Logan Mayor Serafino Nolletti, "I'm honored to have known you all my life. You have never steered me in the wrong direction. You would tell me 'you can't do this, but this is how you can make it happen.' It's a great honor to be here with you at this great event."
Jim Frye thanked Mr. Eiland for his years of involvment in The Aracoma Story, "I have told people I have had people in the orchestra ages 17 to 93."
Several others commented and thanked Mr. Eiland for his service before the crowd scattered and Mr. Eiland went across the street to see the sign bearing his name unveiled.

Some time ago, someone out there spread a nasty rumor about us, that lead many of today's passengers to believe that we don't allow any of those three items. The facts though, contradict the myth.
Trim those nails, in flight if you want, just be sure the passenger sitting next to you doesn't mind a flying hang nail.... Oh yeah, no blades on nail clippers either. Nail files on the other hand are OK.

Chop, slice and dice like a pro with top-quality kitchen knives, cutlery and carving sets that enhance any cooking and dining experience.learn moreWhether you're searching for the ultimate kitchen knife set, specialty Japanese kitchen knives, Rachael Ray or Guy Fieri's latest knife, or the perfectly balanced chef's knife, our Knife Department has what you need.
For all you need to know on kitchen knives, be sure to visit our specialty Chef Knife Guru guide to help both new and experienced cooks select the best cutlery for your kitchen. When it comes to classic kitchen cutlery knife block sets, Wusthof or Henckels brands are the first stop for many professional chefs and aspiring home cooks. The German-made knives from these venerable companies are famous for having set the standard for Western style knives. The classic appeal lies in the riveted handles, hefty, high-carbon stainless steel blades and the original forged method found in their higher-end lines. These are knives that will last a lifetime when cared for properly, are easy to sharpen and are well worth the investment if cooking is your passion.
Another option is the Japanese-style knife, for which Shun sets one of the highest of standards. Also soaked in tradition, these knives are made using a very dense core with many layers of steel, a method originally perfected by samurai sword makers. As a result Shun blades are very strong, thin and more flexible. The difference between these and the German-made knives is apparent the minute you pick them up, as they weigh less as well. Shun knives are notable for being easy to maneuver for delicate tasks, not surprising given the beautiful art of sushi making in Japan. While the denser steel can be harder to sharpen than that found in Wusthof or Henckel blades, you can purchase specific knife sharpening tools that are up for the task. Just don't attempt to cut through bones with these refined blades as that's best left to the heftier knives.

Will.i.am Gets Sued For Britney Spears Collaboration – Report
Will.i.am is in for a world of pain. Hot off the heels of his chart-topping collaboration with Britney Spears, "Scream and Shout," boyfriend is being sued by N-Dubz member Tulisa, who claims that she wrote lyrics for the track and has yet to be compensated.
Apparently, Tulisa was originally going to release "Scream and Shout" on her debut album "The Female Boss" before Will poached it out from under her, and girlfriend is none too happy. "Tulisa is still fuming with Will for taking the song off her," a source tells The Sun. "The fact the song blew up only makes it worse. She's well within her right to claim some of the publishing money. If she proves the words are hers, she could get a huge payout."
If Tulisa is successful with her lawsuit (she claims that the lyric "When you hear this in the club, you'd better turn this s*** up" was penned by her), Will will have to list her name as a co-writer and pay out a hefty wad of benjamins.
Sigh, being famous is so hard.

Anyone else experience this?
Is it the grief? or the pre-e? Or maybe neither or both?

Arrest in baby Jesus case
HUNTINGTON — Police have arrested a man suspected of stealing and defacing a decorative baby Jesus, according to records in Cabell County Magistrate Court.
Kameron Tyler Lambert, 22, of Huntington is charged with misdemeanor petit larceny and destruction of property, the records state.
Huntngton Police Detective Chris Sperry filed the charge and attended Friday's arraignment. He said Lambert was released on a $10,000 bond.
It marks the latest development in a case that started at 12:53 a.m., Nov. 30, when a young man swiped the figurine from an elaborate porch Nativity scene at 1102 5th Ave. That prompted the offering of a $500 reward and a search for answers that led to a confession by a suspect Wednesday night.
Sperry checked several apartments Thursday, eventually finding the figurine at a unit in the 1400 block of 4th Avenue. The figurine had been defaced with permanent, black marker. The markings included sexual obscenities, anarchy symbols and anti-religious statements.
News of the figurine's discovery pleased Becki Carpenter. She helped install the Nativity last week. The 5th Avenue house serves as administrative headquarters for several McDonald's restaurants in Ashland and the Huntington area. She is the company's local store marketing director.
"We are very happy," she said Thursday. "We'll be glad when it can be returned to the Nativity scene."
Sperry had received information on Wednesday about a possible suspect. That person initially denied knowing anything about the figurine's theft, but later confessed at the mention of surveillance video, Sperry said. He told the detective he was drunk at the time and couldn't remember where he left it.
Carpenter had no timetable for when the figurine would be returned, but the cleaning effort will be significant. The markings included an upside down cross, an anarchy symbol, the number "666," and the phrase "I hate your God" on the figurine's backside. Other markings were found on the front, with stitching marks on its forearms and nail marks on both hands.
The figurine's eyes also were blackened, with ram horns on each side of its head and other markings on the face. More offensive marks were placed on its chest and groin.
The baby Jesus was part of a nine-piece Nativity scene. It carried a retail value of more than $1,000. The restaurants' operator, Tom Wolfe, purchased the set out of a desire to help the community celebrate Christmas.
Two surveillance cameras, installed as part of the display, captured a younger adult male, casually dressed with a side backpack, walk onto the Nativity's platform. The recordings show him swiping the baby Jesus and fleeing in a matter of seconds.
The company had offered a $500 reward for information leading to its recovery.
Similar Nativity thefts have been reported elsewhere in the nation.

"error: Could not get shadow information for NOUSER"
From Brandonhutchinson.com
When a user entered his correct password on a Solaris 8 2/04 SPARC system running OpenSSH 4.7, he was unable to login. syslog logged the following error:
Aug 22 09:45:37 hostname sshd[2319]: [ID 800047 auth.error] error: Could not get shadow information for NOUSER
Running pwck showed the problem.
$ pwck user:x:2203:14:User Name:/home/user:/bin/tcsh+ Login directory not found Optional shell file not found
In this case, the user's default shell (/bin/tcsh+) did not exist on the system. Changing the default shell to a valid shell (or installing the missing shell) fixed the problem.
The "Login directory not found" is not a critical error; users are able to login without a valid home directory (they will be placed in /).


text: You know. I didnt buy a gun for about 10 years due to financial problems having been created by getting involved in a startup. Took a while to recover. About a year ago, the dam broke and I have been buying everything in sight. I cant seem to stop myself. Making up for lost time I guess. Anyway, it sounds like you are somewhat on the other side of the cycle. I have a feeling you are going to come out OK. It seems to me that things go in cycles. This too will pass and the experience will pay off in the long run. Just dont sell any guns you like if you dont have to. I have regretted it every time I did that.

Area drive-in theaters to screen Jimmy Buffett concert June 19Written by Jay Hathaway | | email@example.com
Two area drive-in movie theaters will take part in a landmark concert event, featuring one of America's favorite party bands.
Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band will perform "Live at the Drive-In," a live concert broadcast from the Coyote Drive-In at Panther Island in Fort Worth, Texas, on June 19.
The performance will be simultaneously broadcast to other drive-ins across the country, including the Sundance Kid in Oregon and Field of Dreams in Liberty Center.
The first-of-its-kind event has been coordinated from Texas by Brandt Wood, one of the owners of the Coyote Drive-In. He decided to get into the business last year, with the hope of bringing back a fading American tradition.
"The idea of the drive-in as an iconic venue has been reduced in number just in the modern age, and converting to digital projection [is a challenge]," Wood said. "[Our] idea was to bring it back, and create a 21st century drive-in with really good food and beverage and playgrounds, sort of a restaurant/bar at a drive-in."
So far, the Coyote has been a success and has been setting the standard for other digitally equipped drive-ins across the country.
"It's sort of been the model of what a drive-in can be, as far as amenities. It's been fun," Wood said.
The idea for the live broadcast first emerged when Wood was visiting with Buffett at a concert. When Buffett learned that Wood had opened a drive-in, he expressed interest in playing a live show at the location.
"We thought, why don't we hit him with an idea to broadcast it to all the other drive-ins and make it a really impactful, positive thing for the drive-in business, and a way for him to reach fans that may be out of his touring range?"
Buffett loved the idea, and got his team involved in helping to make it happen.
"Everybody's super fired-up. It definitely turned some heads," Wood said.
Eighty-six theaters are involved with the project, and Wood and his team established a working relationship with all of them to market the event.
"It took a lot of trust and good faith," Wood said. "Drive-in owners are quintessential 'good folks.'"
The concert will begin at 9:50 p.m., but the Sundance Kid will open its facilities at 7 p.m. for a few good hours of tailgating.
"We'll have a DJ playing beach music, we'll be grilling out, we'll have souvenirs and goodies for sale," said Kim Walter, marketing director for Great Eastern Theatres, which operates the Sundance Kid.
Grilled food like burgers ("Cheeseburgers in Paradise") will be available for purchase, and beer and margaritas will be served by the Eastern Maumee Bay Chamber of Commerce. All alcohol must be purchased on site.
Tickets are $20 and may be purchased at greateasterntheatres.com/jimmybuffett or www.fieldofdreams drivein.com.
Parking is first come, first serve, and a working radio will be necessary for sound.
Walter said Great Eastern has been coordinating with the Oregon Police Department and its own staff to make the event a "safe and fun adult party."
"Parrotheads like to party," Walter said.

Things that disappoint me about The Elder Scrolls thus far:
No I do not agree horses are too expensive and inventory banks are too small. I would hate for this game to turn into an instant-gratification game. I'd rather feel like I earned that horse through time and effort and be proud of specializing in my craft, realizing what I want and need while selling the rest to keep my inventory clutter free. GW2 collection tabs are for hoarders. Let's try the smaller inventory and watch the economy really move...provided they change their ludicrous idea of guild only AHs.
And yes. There are a lot of positives. And despite the seething hate I have for the negatives I still preordered the physical Imperial Edition.

Heck..I don't care if it pops up with a dislog window that says "You get the strange feeling you will be far out of your depths beyond this point"....just let em in goddamnit. If they are locking people because of unfulfilled quest prerequisites and they don't want the player to see the quests that lay beyond because it could spoil the immersion of the previous quests...then let me in and just make sure I am locked out from viewing/interacting with the NPC involved with that quest. Form an instanced environment for those people who did not complete the quest requirement like how Cat's EyE Quay and many other places change based on your quest progression..
I don't know but anything is better than this.

The game is just poorly designed. It has absolutely nothing in it that made an elder scrolls game, an elder scrolls game. Its a completely generic mmo with an elder scroll skin strapped o it. its got ES lore...and thats about it for the ES stuff. It even craps all over that. Gone is total freedom. Gone is pickpocketing. Gone is swimming underwater. Gone is interacting with almost every object. Gone is being able to kill NPC's and becoming an outlaw. Gone is designing your character from scratch anyway you want, can't have that have to have "classes" in an MMO. Gone is total exploration, invisible walls abound, and there are plenty of lore breaking immersion with the faction realms. Pet peeve of mine, I love how your armor "breathes" with you. Go for painted on textures.
The questing is decent I will give them that. The voice acting is passable and gives me a SWTOR level of immersion while doing the quest. The quests are more quality over quantity approach which I appreciate. The quests are more memorable because there is a story behind all of them, unlike other MMO's which fill up your log of 100 worthless fire and forget quests. The faction pvp is fairly well done...but where in the hell is collision detection?
Overall the game is at best mediocre, at worst a blantant cash grab to steal money for ES fans before it goes ffree to play or buy to play. The bottom line is there is nothing in this game that makes an elder scrolls game, an edler scrolls game. Once the initial box sales/month are done, I'm not sure the game is going to have the legs to stand on. Its going to piss off Es fans for not being ES enough. Lets face it they are the core market this game is going after. This game remind me of SWTOR, bank on the built in fan base, but make your game with almost nothing that fan base is expecting or wanting.

I was in the undead dungeon yesterday, was going great untill last boss... The last boss wasn't even there, so we couldn't complete the quest/event. There's a lot of bugs, ending up in wrong instance, with no good way to teleport over, players crashing/DC'ing and coming back just to see him marked as "offline" in the group menu. Some players ninja'ing all the boxes making us wait before we can pull next group of mobs etc.
You basicly need ingame gold to group and do dungeons, need gold to teleport, gold to repair etc. That's actually what I liked about AoC, you could just come and play, no repair bills, and potions were cheap and sold by npc's.
I can see that if a group fails or a player fail there is going to be some unhappy group players because of the repair bill and teleport cost.
Loot in dungeon is horrible, I did 15 runs this weekend, and I'm using one blue necklace I got, while I did get many blue items, like bows, light armor chest piece, medium armor pants, two handed weapons, there was nothing I could use myself as a tank. I also got many duplicates(but with different names from different bosses), how many necklaces with +stamina or health do I really need?
Although I didn't open many boxes. I hope they change the boxes to a single box after each boss, and each player can loot their own box. Because waiting for the loot whores to clear a room for boxes every room is getting old fast.
Well that's my big negative concerns I belive, I have many posetive things to say about the game, but this I guess was a thread about the negatives so.

I think some zones simply are not available in beta. Or do you mean mini dungeons that are not available due to missing quest requirements?

I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar.
errr. yea, so you played the stress test and know it all know?
lemme do some corrections:
* there is NO PROBLEM in communicating between alliances. you can talk to ebenheart if you are daggerfall and so on
* no AH is a prob for you? LOL whatever.
* actually you can do all pve lands, including those of "enemy" alliances in pve, since pvp ONLY takes place in cyrodill (you just need to get to those areas)
etc etc

Another Thread by someone who has no clue about the game and writes like he/she/it knows it all.
Just for you: THERE IS NO LVL GATED CONTENT YOU CANNOT TEST IT ATM BECAUSE IT IS JUST NOT THERE FOR YOU IN THIS BETA TEST!
It was stated by alot of closed beta Testers that you can try and run as a lvl1 Char to the other zones to get your ass fucked by a lvl50 NPC.

I did not see these statements. However, was this "fact" also stated by any of the developers? If the gated content is indeed a product of beta restrictions and nothing else: fantastic. Strike 1 off my "Bad-Zenimax-BAD!" list.
And I think you mistake my ability to form readable material as me trying to present myself as an intellectual or a 'know-it-all'. Never did I make such claims. That is ludicrous. No clue about the game. HAH! I only played every damned beta since last November for 20+ hours each weekend.
However, there is no reason for you to be such a prick. I mean seriously...did I offend you? Are you so easily butthurt over what I said here? My god..I think you and people like you (staring at you, Thane) just post to post...you just spew crap with little to no worth. Get lost.

So anyways, yes it's true areas were left out of this beta. In the beta forums it was stated by a dev in some notes about this most recent event, it was designed to be a stress test with content to lvl1-17 available. Also stated in this post was the fact this was a old build of the game just because of that very reason. How much farther along the closed test servers are? I dunno, and don't claim to.
Hope it helps a little. For what it's worth, no game will ever be perfect in every ones eyes. If eight years of SWG taught me anything, it's to take the good with the bad and just have fun. Sometimes not always possible, but that's why we have such a nice large selection of MMO's. Something for everyone.

Seems to be a lot of people who haven't paid any attention to this game for the past year attempting to debate design elements that were talked to death here months ago.
Google is your friend. All of this has been discussed to death over the past 12 months and you'll find many developer interviews addressing every single point. If you're interested enough to pass judgement on it and create a post, you should probably learn a bit more about it... don't you think?

The pen is mightier than the sword if the sword is very short, and the pen is very sharp.
This was version .17x. While a lot of folks initially thought that this was the patch to add the collision detection (.18) they (devs) made a statement that this weekend was for the purposes of stress testing again and not bug finding in the new version.
Throughout the beta forums over the weekend were closed beta testers (perma testers vs weekenders) that were pretty much saying 'This is in' and 'Wait til the next comes out' etc.
I'm enjoying the game and looking forward to opening day which is (sadly) 4 weeks away.
The lack of an AH doesn't bother me but for the purposes of my own gameplay (not much for guilds) we'll see how it plays out.

95% of the problems with MMORPGs come from the fact that games never get funded unless the developer shows their directors a previous example(s) that have done financially well.
This is because as graphics improve, they require AAA financial backing to get the graphics 'up to scratch'. This means that nobody is prepared to take a risk with that sort of money - so the accountants / directors do not select innovation - they select what has worked financially before.
The answer for us gamers is to back new games on kickstarter - because they live or die based on the ideas / concepts, rather than being a repeat.
Good examples include Elite: Dangerous, Star Citizen, and of course - Oculus Rift. Kickstarter is the future as far as new experiences are concerned.

I'm pretty sure OP is talking about gated dungeons/caves/whatever you want to call them not zones.
Just saying.
I'll make this simple. Yes, I am talking about dungeons being gated. Yes, I am aware these topics have been discussed in the past and sometimes at length (So you can take your 'Google is your friend' comment and shove it). However, I still do not agree with the outcome so I will continue to want to discuss and debate these issues ad nauseam. Some of your comments are ridiculously smug. It's sad that some of you have this mentality that cross faction communication is more trouble than it's worth. It works fine in many games, the most recent in personal experience being The Secret World. And as I stated in the OP: I preordered the Physical Imperial Edition early last month. I have a ton of positives about this game but that is not what this post is about. What is so difficult to comprehend? And no, cross faction communication is not available. FFS! tl;dr? They make pills for your ADHD.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---A public reception was held today to welcome Chattanooga Mocs new Head Basketball Coach Will Wade to town. The event featured a question and answer session with the media. Here are a few excerpts:
Opening Statement: "I am very appreciative of the opportunity to be the head men's basketball coach here at Chattanooga. This is a tremendous opportunity and I couldn't be more excited. I have spent the last four years at Virginia Commonwealth University with Shaka Smart and he has made such an incredible impact on my career. I really wouldn't be here today without Coach Smart and having him to lean on. I am very appreciative of him, and one of the great things for working for Coach Smart is that after every season – and this happened to be the season after we went to the Final Four – he brought me into his office and told me that he know my goal was to be a head coach. He asked me to give him a list of three or four colleges that were somewhat realistic that I would love to be at and number one on my list was Chattanooga. There's nowhere else I would rather be."
On why Wade embraces the press:
"Well, you teach what you know. I know the press and I believe the pressing style is a great equalizer. Very few teams play it and it is very difficult to prepare for – especially on a short rest. I think it is an unbelievable equalizer in the game of college basketball because you don't see it that often. We are going to turn the game into a chaotic pace. We will practice at that pace, and the other team doesn't practice at that pace. We are going to be more comfortable at that pace than the other team. I think it gives us a tremendous advantage over everyone.
Thoughts on building his coaching staff:
"When I look for staff there are two things that I look for in coaches. The first is that I want someone who is excited to be in Chattanooga. I want someone who is excited and fired up to be in this town. The second is that I want someone who is going to develop great relationships with our players. We want to spend a lot of time on and off the court with our players. With that said, I met with Casey Long this morning. I think he loves Chattanooga, I know he bleeds blue and gold and I know the players have a tremendous amount of respect for him. I want to announce that Casey is going to be a part of our staff. He is going to have to show me the ropes here for the next few weeks. I have a good idea of the framework and what we are going to as far as the process of meeting with a few people and building a great staff of guys who care about our players."
On instilling his own work ethic into his players:
"I think working hard is the baseline for what you have to do to be successful. I wasn't a great player and that creates a chip on my shoulder. I will work people and I will maneuver people that way. I get up extremely early in the morning, and I got that from my father. He has worked for 32 years and gets up at 5 a.m. every morning so I am an early riser, as well. Work ethic is just a baseline and it doesn't ensure success at any level. You have to work hard. The harder you work the better you get and that's what we are going to be about. WE are going to be a blue-collar, hard-working program. Typically, the players and the staff follow the lead of the coach and I have been fortunate to have worked under a grinder line Coach Smart. There aren't many coaches in the game that work harder than Coach Smart. I am fortunate that I am all about hard work and that is what we are going to be about here in Chattanooga."
On his familiarity with the Southern Conference:
"I went to Clemson so I was right there with schools like Wofford and Furman. I spent most of my adult life in the Carolinas so I have a pretty good idea of the SoCon. I know a few of the head coaches and a lot of the assistant coaches in the conference so I have sort of followed the league. I followed UNCG because of a coaching connection with VCU and I am going to familiarize myself with it while adding and losing teams will continue to shuffle the deck."
On what he wants to accomplish within his first three months on the job:
"I want to, first, build relationships with our players. I want to spend time with them and secondly I want to finalize our staff. Hiring staff and going through that process will be the second step and third is recruiting. Not only recruiting for now and on down the line, but also getting out into the community with the fans. That's our immediate goal and hopefully I can knock the second goal off pretty quickly. After that it is all about getting on campus and spending time with our guys in the gym on basketball-related things. It has been an exciting time and I can tell you that there's interest nationally about this program. There's a lot of interest from other coaches and wanting to be a part of this. That is a credit to the University and having a great tradition and program."

Proud member of the NRA,GOA and JPFO!!!
And now GOCRA in MN!!!!
Sounds like its a pretty standard exercise they have been doing for some time now.The Guantanamo base housed more than 45,000 Cuban and Haitian refugees who were picked up at sea during the last mass migration in the Caribbean in the mid-1990s. It also served as a logistics hub for U.S. ships and flights ferrying aid to Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake in January 2010.
But most of the personnel involved in those operations have moved on to other assignments.

Hey, Christians;
I have a single, simple question for you. It may at first seem frivolous, but I assure you that I am dead serious and consider its implications profound and its answers revelatory of the Christian mindset.
If I believed in a compassionate, all-powerful God who answers prayers, I would pray every day for Him to eradicate all human disease.
My question is predicated on the a priori assumption that you do not do this.
My only question for you is: WHY NOT?
Views: 996
Just remember the head is always right.
Hi Sarah,
I have to say this and it comes from a place of no condition on my part. Whether you have changed your status as to what you identify, is irrelevant to me. The only one it really should be relevant to is you. I am not out to convert to you "my" way of thinking. I am however showing you a perspective that you before did not realise WAS there. Unlike KOrsan to whom you replied, I do not agree that the "mind" IS the right thing, as the thoughts as to Gods and things like gods, are developed in the mind. As such, for me at least, the mind is NOT always "right". All it is is a shit load of conflicting information, you are obviously trying to juggle to find a "place" where you will be accepted.
All the things that we as humans, or ANY species for that matter just automatically DO are not dependent on thought. All these things that we DON'T have to think about are the only things we ALL really have in common.
As such, I have learned to trust my core "being" rather than my mind or my "heart". Others opinions of who I am, are now irrelevant to me. I appreciate I am at a different place to others in my life and that is something I understand completely... hey ...even the atheist "sub-set" I deal with tell me that they think I am weird. *shrug*.. I just say you think to much and listen little. lol
What ever you choose to trust of yourself though...mind, heart...whatever...again...is your journey and I hope that my comments did not come off as any "in your face" critique of you personally. It was not my intention at all.:)
Here's how things would be if god wasn't invisible...
Thanks DarkMatter2525!
Just to recap a point from an earlier post:
I am an agnostic because I have no Knowledge as to whether or not a specific god exists.
I am an Atheist because I my lack belief in any god.
I am an Agnostic Atheist because I do not believe in any gods because I have no knowledge or evidence for their existence. No faith is required to hold this position.
Quick thought: If we say – as most believers do – that their god has a plan for them and that everything that happens to us is part of this plan. Whether we understand Gods mind is not important as He alone knows the reason why things happen. Therefore why pray? Surely prayer is asking your god to change his plans? Should Theists not desist from constantly imploring him to change his mind?
Hello Dale
As a former member of your ranks I retain a certain affection for your persistant inquiry. That is something that is lost among the majority of believers. Anyway as to our imperfect world I think it can be justified in two ways. The first is absolute total freedom. The world we live in permits us to fend for ourselves, disease can be eradicated without explicit divine intervention. Smallpox, once the scourge of europe and the americas, now exists only in laboratories. Many other diseases have been eradicated any many will soon follow suit. As horrid as a world is with malignant microbes is, I feel hope in the fact that we, really only 450 years or so practicing science, have gone to great lengths in combatting them. The human race is thus free to stand on its own. I think that the idea of mankind living perpetually in a sort of garden of eden may seem appealing, but upon further consideration it really is not. Man, fallen as the Christian knows, is not suited to live in such an environment. A once read a study on a tribe in africa, the efe that subsides entirely off the land, they do not have agriculture, or science, or written language,their extent of technology is a bow and arrow, they also have few predators and disease is not as much of a problem there as it is in the rift valley. They are unable to discover the great truths of our universe or reap the benefits of modern technology because they were never forced to survive in spite of their environment. In a way disease led us to discover microbes and from that discovery microbiology was born. I think a proper prayer for a christian to utter in this regard is thus, Lord, please facilitate new discoveries and help us to improve our lives upon the wondrous planet you have given us. Unfortunately, many people see prayer as a celestial ATM. This is most likely do to the trash culture that we have.
The second part of the answer is the afterlife. Obviously I am aware that almost everyone on this site will see it has simply "the great fiction" But the persistence of similar NDE's at least sow a seed of doubt. Also the difficulty in explaining the origin of Christianity without the resurrection seems to suggest that there could be a life after death. Nietzsche in his work, the antichrist, postulated that St.Paul was the architect of Christianity as a whole, and he invented the resurrection and promised the afterlife to gullible low class citizens of the empire. Apart from the latter part of the statement being untrue, Christianity was embraced by the educated greeks after much effort by St.Paul, Nietzsche fails to adress the obvious, why would St. Paul bother? He knew that death would come and gained little materially, especially considering that he was a roman citizen and therefore a member of the privileged elite in Jerusalem. So if there is an afterlife then the imperfect nature of our world is totally justified. The only thing that matters in this life is our charitable works towards our less privileged brothers and sisters and our reaction to the many trail, tribulations, and injustices that torment our existence. The Christian can hope in a final justice. The trilemma of Epicurus(and Hume) is justified in the next life, not this one.
Hello Manuel,
I think it is pretty strange to jump to a conclusion of an "afterlife" based on similarity of NDE's. What tends to be a common denominator IN NDE's is the patients all having hallucination, which is NOT possible if one is actually BRAIN DEAD.
Just wanted to point that out.
I did not say that one should jump to a conclusion, I merely said that it was something to consider, furthermore the NDE's that have been entered into the many studies published all must be in patients who had absolutely no brain function, they were in effect brain dead. This may arise from the fact that we do not yet fully understand consciousness. A study recently published suggests that consciousness may be a product of quantum mechanics,therefore it could be assumed that some residual consciousness remains after all brain activity ceases, but that was repudiated by fellow scientists, albiet not totally. So the question remains. Some MD on nbc said that his experience with NDE's led him to believe a couple of years ago.
It lacks a certain intellectual rigor to cite "some MD" and "numerous studies" and "a study recently published" but fail to specify which ones you mean.
Brain death is the irreversible cessation of all brain activity due to tissue necrosis. If these people woke up, they weren't brain dead. Besides, even if they truly did have "absolutely no brain function", there's no verifiable evidence that the NDE occurred at that moment, rather than before or after it.
We now have the technology and scientific knowledge to begin exploring the ultimate question," says Dr Sam Parnia, leader of the research team at London's Hammersmith Hospital. "To be honest, I started off as a sceptic but having weighed up all the evidence I now think that there is something going on.
Several scientific studies have suggested that the mind – or 'soul' - lives on after the body has died and the brain ceased to function. One study published in the prestigious Lancet medical journal found that one in ten cardiac arrest survivors experienced emotions, visions or lucid thoughts while they were clinically dead. In medical terms they were "flatliners" or unconscious with no signs of brain activity, pulse or breathing.
About one in four people who have a near-death experience also have a much more profound – and sometimes disturbing – experience such as watching doctors try and resuscitate their bodies. These 'out-of-body experiences' often include seeing a bright light, traveling down a tunnel, seeing their dead body from above, and meeting deceased relatives.
Dr Parnia has previously studied near-death experiences. Two years ago his work was published in the prestigious medical journal Resuscitation. Dr Parnia's team rigorously interviewed 63 cardiac arrest patients and discovered that seven had memories of their brief period of 'death', although only four passed the Grayson scale, the strict medical criteria for assessing near-death experiences. These four recounted feelings of peace and joy, they lost awareness of their own bodies, time speeded up, they saw a bright light and entered another world, encountered a mystical being and faced a "point of no return".
According to modern medicine all of these patients were effectively dead. Their brains had shut down and no thoughts or feelings were possible. There was certainly no possibility of the complex brain activity required for dreaming or hallucinating.
Dr Parnia's initial trial was especially rigorous - he wanted to confound his critics before they could muster their arguments. To rule out the possibility that near-death experiences resulted from hallucinations after the brain had collapsed through lack of oxygen, he rigorously monitored the concentrations of the vital gas in the patients' blood. Crucially, none of those who underwent the experiences had low levels of oxygen.
He was also able to rule out claims that unusual combinations of drugs were to blame because the resuscitation procedure was the same in every case, regardless of whether they had a near-death experience or not.
"Arch sceptics will always attack our work," says Dr Parnia. "I'm content with that. That's how science progresses. What is clear is that something profound is happening. The mind – the thing that is 'you' – your 'soul' if you will - carries on after conventional science says it should have drifted into nothingness."
Dr Parnia says that every near-death experience is subtly different but that they all share eight or nine key features, whatever the nationality, culture or religion of the patient. These include intense feelings of calmness, traveling down a long dark tunnel, being drawn into an intense loving light, seeing your dead body from above, and meeting long-deceased relatives or friends. A few experience a brief form of 'hell' where they are drawn, petrified, into a dark swirling well of bitterness, hatred and fear.
Look it up, even if the tissue is viable, if there are no electrical pulses or synapsis, then there can be no consciousness.
As for the Quantum Mechanics theory here is a good article if you have any interest.
Still no links to your sources of information on NDE: not for the quoted text above and not for any of NDE studies. You'd think that would be easy, since they are so numerous.
Note that you've switched premises, backpedaling from 'brain death', to 'clinical death', to 'no electrical pulses'.
Clinical death means the heart and lungs stop. That's not brain death, and neither is a temporary cessation of brain function. The living brain tissue, normal oxygen levels, and return to consciousness ends the "debate" right there: none of the four people died.
Patient: "Doctor, I feel a little drowsy."
Quack: "Sweet Jesus! His brain is DEAD!!! Check his oxygen level, STAT!"
Well you might be aware that Cardiac Arrest patient's EEG usually flatlines around 10-20 seconds after cardiac arrest. No electrical pulses means flat EEG, so in that 10-20 second space a patient may still have brain function without a pulse, so they would be "clinically" dead and still retain brain function, that I will concede, but the EEG flatlines within seconds. This is proven by the fact that they do not even retain a gag reflex which is among the most basic of brain functions. Also the patients pupils are fixed and dilated.If there is no brain activity you cannot retain or create any memories. Once a person's brainwaves have ceased, indicating that all mental activity has stopped - perceiving, thinking, and remembering - how do we explain their accurate perception of events going on around their 'deceased' body (both sight and sound), and their accurate reporting of events taking place even at significant distances from their clinically-dead body? The dying brain theory has been very much debunked by cold hard medical facts. The reason Penrose would throw his weight behind such a phony quantum based theory is because this is a genuine mystery. If the debate was so simple then millions would't be spent on so much research. I personally am an undergraduate planning on going into the medical field and one of my professors, an agnostic by the way, has had access to some of the files of the massive forthcoming University of Florida study on NDE's and he says that from what they have discovered so far there is no correlation between religious belief and experience of NDE's. Of course the study isn't published yet so I cannot give you a link, sorry.
"Our most striking finding was that Near-Death Experiences do not have a physical or medical root. After all, 100 per cent of the patients suffered a shortage of oxygen, 100 per cent were given morphine-like medications, 100 per cent were victims of severe stress, so those are plainly not the reasons why 18 per cent had Near-Death Experiences and 82 per cent didn't. If they had been triggered by any one of those things, everyone would have had Near-Death Experiences." (Van Lommel 1995)
Plus Tracey, Dr. Parnia is still a skeptic and he is really trying hard to find a medical explanationhttp://www.skeptiko.com/sam-parnia-claims-near-death-experience-probably-an-illusion/
I think if you read the entire piece you will realize that that the title is a bit optimistic, anyway he also makes a slight mistake, he said that aristotle and plato and different views on the soul, they did not really, the greek philosopher and pseudoscientist Epicurus was the one who said that the soul was a product of bodily functions and it died along with the body. CPR in a way does restart the brain. The brain cannot function without a steady stream of oxygenated blood, the CPR provides that blood and restores brain function when there previously was none.
NDE is a bit of a misnomer, if their EEG is flat and they have no pulse, the're dead.
The DMT theory is being thrown around, as it the CO2 theory, but neither of them are really being taken that seriously. I am not saying that there is no possible way a natural process can account for these NDE's but as of today there is none.
Check out Dr. Kenneth RIng's study with people who are born blind having NDE where they can see.
Also read up on John Eccles, a nobel prize winning neurophysiologist and devout theist, catholic by the way.
Strict Materialism and Religious Fundamentalism are two sides of the same coin guys, at least keep an open mind.
Hi John Baptiste,
I have read the original paper as reported in the Lancet and it seems that Dr Parnia is doing nothing short of quote-mining....to serve their own purpose...
Seriously, ANYONE who says...." I started out as a sceptic"...is much like the beginnings of near EVERY Penthouse Forum story...starting with ..." I never believed these stories were true until.... MY experience...."
Again, cardiac arrest is NOT BRAINDEAD. CPR does NOT jumpstart the brain again, but the HEART.
As well as Dr Parnia stated, there are "key" features in those who've had NDE (THE NEAR is "key" here...they AIN'T DEAD).... is that over 72% of those claiming to have had NDE either have religious affiliation OR have heard of what an "NDE is "like" prior to having one themselves.
As such, all this really "proves" is the unconscious mind has the capacity to bring forth stored information. It related ZERO to any afterlife scenario. If the "findings showed that EVERYONE having been through the trauma and associated clinical death and subsequent CPR... then there WOULD be conclusive evidence. In the Study though he originally cited FROM the Lancet, there were 344 cardiac patients involved and of those.. only 62 actually had this "nde" experience...whether in assumed" core form or more superficial.Less than 20% had NDE.. as I said shows more about information they have stored, due to religious beliefs and indoctrination.
So...yeah.. cheers to you too.

It seems every time we click on the television to watch our favorite tennis matches, there is another taped shoulder greeting our eyes…
Last week we spoke to the common story of tennis injuries among juniors. Yet, injuries in the sport of tennis are not exclusive to juniors alone. Many adult pros suffer from the same arm pains that plague tennis players more often than not. Whether it's shoulder pain, tennis elbow pain, or wrist pain – it's still pain.
Tennis Racquets Down: Roddick and Clijsters Retire
Mere weeks ago, at the 2012 U.S. Open, both Kim Clijsters and Andy Roddick announced their retirement, willingly storing their tennis racquets on the shelf (so to speak). Injuries were not cited as a reason, but it's understood that both of these top players had been down the injury road not too long ago.
In April of 2011, Kim Clijsters' experienced both shoulder and ankle injuries. Having taken time off to heal her shoulder, she also endured a bad ankle sprain. This kept her off the court for quite a few weeks and put the French Open and Wimbledon matches in front of her at significant risk.
Only one month later, in May of 2011, Andy Roddick, who had previously complained of shoulder pain as early as the 2010 Australian Open, withdrew from the 2011 French Open with a shoulder injury. His absence at this tournament came as a huge disappointment for American tennis fans. The pro player, who won a slam back in the 2003 U.S. Open, was forced to pull out of his doubles event and his singles match.
In the public eye, the Clijsters and Roddick retirements were not pinned on tennis injuries. It's poignant, however, that both of these spirited players had to endure such weakening injuries only a year before they chose to leave the game. We know the media paints a pretty picture when our favorite pros decide to step out of the limelight, but we also know that tennis arm injuries can be devastating to the body (and a pro career).
Concerned that you're playing with the wrong tennis racquet? Don't be afraid to share your concern. Join the movement for raising awareness of injuries present in the tennis industry by filling out the ITF Injury Awareness Petition.
Has your tennis racquet caused injury to your arm? Visit the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission website to Report Your Injury. We encourage any of our readers who've found that a particular racquet has caused damage to their arm to report their findings to organizations that will listen.
Turns out, we're listening too! So, don't forget to drop us a line here on our Arm Safe Performance blog.

How websites are adapting for the new iPad Retina display and other HiDPI screens
Following the launch of the new iPad there's been a lot of discussion about how, and where or even whether, websites should update to support the needs of HiDPI screens like Apple's Retina display. If users are going to be looking at websites on a Retina display iPad, and one day Retina display Macs, HiDPI Android and Windows displays, and other high density screens, having them look as good as possible is a definite concern.
Bjango's Marc Edwards previously wrote about why it might take a while for developers to upgrade their apps for Retina display graphics, and has written several posts and how to include Retina graphics in design workflows.
The web, unfortunately, is nowhere near as controlled environment as the App Store.
Apple, of course, updated their iPad page for Retina display right away. According to Jason Grigsby of Cloud Four Blog, they're doing it with image_replacer.js.
What they've chose to do is load the regular images for the site and then if the device requesting the page is a new iPad with the retina display, they use javascript to replace the image with a high-res version of it.
The downside of this approach is that it's expensive, especially if you're serving all images this way, and the images are big. Bandwidth costs money and making every image 4 times larger (or more) means paying higher server bills. Serving a regular image and then switching to Retina is even more expensive, because you're serving both images to Retina devices. (Granted there aren't many yet, but their share will only grow.)
Phil Webb of Mobify.com offers several good pieces of advice, including prioritizing which images really need to be Retina (like product heroes), that text should be served as text and not images (we're in the age of TypeKit, after all!), creating double-sized images that are constrained by CSS width and height attributes, and the use of mobify.js.
Mobify can detect extra-high resolution displays, like the iPad 3 Retina and iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s with Retina, and serve them higher quality images.
And unlike many other techniques, like the approach Apple has taken to delivering Retina-quality images by just double-serving images, it lets you just serve the right image to the right device. So page performance is always as fast and snappy as possible.
On Quora, Read it Later developer Steve Streza promotes the use of CSS background images, the background-size attribute, sprite sheets, and media queries.
The big advantage here is that you can target specific screen scale factors with CSS, using a trick known as CSS media queries. This lets you specify entire CSS files, or parts of CSS files, to load for devices at 1x scale, at 2x scale, and other scales (as well as ranges of scales). This means that 1x scale devices are only loading 1x assets, and 2x scale devices are only loading 2x scale assets.
When it comes to photography on the web, Duncan Davidson, working with Streza, figured out that WebKit (the rendering engine behind Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome, webOS, BlackBerry's Torch, and other browsers) put limitations on image sizes that could conflict with serving Retina-calibur graphics. The workaround is to use progressive JPGs. But currently comes at a price.
Now, before you go reprocessing all your photos—and keep in mind that you can't export progressive JPEG out of Lightroom or Aperture, so this isn't an easy undertaking—please understand that this is just sorting out how to push a high DPI image to an iPad Retina display. Doing this well for more than a one-off example is going to take a lot more work, not the least of which is sorting out how to decide when to push a progressive JPEG at what size for the right client and bandwidth combinations.
So while it's early days and there are no clear standards for implementing cross-platform, cross-browser HiDPI graphics, there's a lot of experimentation being done. We consciously made the choice to use as much CSS as possible with our last iMore redesign, and I think that paid off. We've also replaced our previous, PNG background logo image with a 2x icon graphic and TypeKit text. We need to tweak it some more, but it already looks better on the new iPad. Likewise, we've used higher density Team iMore pictures in the sidebar for a while now, and are going to be rolling out more of them into the rest of the fairly static page elements.
If you're working on adding Retina/HiDPI support to your website, jump into our Iterate mobile design forum and let us know how you're doing it and how it's working.

How websites are adapting for the new iPad Retina display and other HiDPI screens
I never thought of this, but you make a good point!
You're living in fantasy land. Outside the U.S., the iPAD does not receive the same glory. Considering the billions of people in the world, and the extremely small number that have an iPAD with retina display (3 million... perhaps 11 million by end year) and you soon see that this is zero benefit for web designers to create retina display web sites... other than the odd few (super small number) who do so for the purpose of graphics and glory.
The same thing was said of 300dpi digital images for magazines. Then 600dpi. Then 1200dpi.
The same was said of 720p video. Then 1080p. Now 4K and 8K.
The same was said of 256kbps audio files, and lossless audio files.
The world changes. Technology improves.
That's not fantasy.
That's life.
I might've taken you more seriously if you could spell. 1080p can be retrieved in many more ways than just blu ray. Blu ray just means that you don't get the artifacts from compression. But they're not even that bad, you exaggerate like people did with the transition from analog music to digital

hello there and thanks on your info ? I've certainly picked up anything new from right here.

Android Applications are Linux support and are programmed in Java. The Linux OS is the most powerful and easiest to manage of all operating systems. Android code is written using Java syntax and the core android libraries include most of the features included the core Java APIs. The Java programming language with its superior GUI development capabilities provides a good platform for Android development. Although applications use Java syntax, they are not translated by a Java compiler into Java byte-code. They are compiled by the Android compiler into Dalvik byte-code. Versions of the Android SDK are available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. The SDK includes an emulator for all three environments. Android applications run on a virtual machine and so there is no particular advantage in one OS over another.

Dear Scott: I saw Beyonce on the Super Bowl and wanted to know if you know whether or not her hair is really hers. The color is exactly what I want and I didn't know if I would need extensions to have it that color. I looked it up online but some people say it is her hair and others say it isn't her hair. I already have long hair and it's wavy like hers. All I need is the color and then I'll look just like her!
Answer: Many viewers are asking if Beyonce's hair is really hers. Because it is there on her head, I'd say that it is hers or it would be on someone else's head. Whether or not it once belonged to another person and is now being utilized as extensions is up for debate.
You are in luck if you already have long hair. The length of the hair determines the need for extensions. It can get pretty expensive. The color can easily be yours without the use of any extensions or hair additions.
Multi-tonal color has never been as popular as right now. Long or short, there are some tasteful new ways of coloring hair available this year. If Beyonce's color is what you want, caramelize it.
Caramelizing is a multi-tone, two-process color that will give you the beautiful 3D effect you are looking for. Cool undertones add depth to the hair while bright caramel shades of up-lights give the impression of Beyonces hair looking remarkably delicious.
Marbleizing turns flat, dull, browns into yummy, fudgy, goodness. Triple-dip shading of dark-on-dark also turns grey hair into a delightfully appetizing treat.
Sorbet slicing makes pastels pop. Tone-on-tone lights and darks of peachy goodness add richness and flavor for the younger client or the hidden kid in you.
Whipped cream up-lights take blondes to the next level of desire. This 3D look brings you back to the days of when you were a toe-head blonde child. Creamy cool base colors added with layers upon layers of whipped-up blonde highlights gives any blonde a reason to have more fun.
Cinnamon Swirling stains up to three different shades of red in a single application. Mixing it up with copper up-lights turns redheads into red hot. This technique covers grey in a way like no other.

This photo was taken in 2009 when Georgie was 9 years old. The coat was beginning to become one of those things which only Losers wear. Not cool. Makes me itch. Rather be wet. You know the sort of thing.
Such a good coat I saved it for his wee brother, then aged 2. Hmmmmm. Number two son happens to be of monster proportions. He is destined for the Front Row in the Rugby First 11. So, here we are, aged soon-to-be-5 and wearing the same coat.
Poor Ollie, by virtue of his enormity, has become the hand-me-down kid. On paper, a 7 year age gap should have saved him from this indignity, but no. A combination of maternal thrift and plain common sense has led him to this inevitable place.
We have second-hand school uniform. Second hand hats and gloves. Even, in a few cases, second-hand knickers. He never complains. Blissfully unaware of his largeness.
I am considering whether to cease feeding him. I fear that by the time he is 6 he could be actually SHARING his teenage brother's wardrobe.
Anyone else do the hand-me-down thing?

- Should i be advocating for LOVENOX and/or LABETALOL from the get go?
Are there any tests anyone has done to check if they will have PE? at the hospital they told me next time i should request a doppler scan of the uterine arteries at 20 weeks to determine if something is not right with the blood flow/placenta. One doctor i saw post PE told me he does not favor this because then what does one do with the information? it will be a waiting game since patient will know it is coming, but not when...i intend to request this because after my experience i feel like it is best to know everything.any thoughts on this from people who have taken this scan? how about tests on Placental Growth Factor?

A new runner to the annual Summerville Family YMCA 10K race was the first to cross the finish line Saturday.
Jeff Baxter, a 36-year-old Director of Development for Noisette Company, finished the 10K course in 35 minutes and 41 seconds to win the 2013 Shamrock Shuffle, formerly known as the Flowertown Festival Race.
"We were fortunate to have mild temperatures today so I was able to keep a pretty good pace," the North Charleston resident said. "This is my first time running in this event and I enjoyed it. By the end I was working through some of the 5K traffic and everyone was encouraging me."
Baxter trailed another runner for the first few miles, but then pulled ahead around the fourth mile of the race.
"I hit that down-hill stretch on the back end of the course and felt really good," Baxter said. "I was pleased with my finish. That is a good time for me."
Jason Annan finished 26 seconds later to claim runner-up honors for the 10K and 50-year-old Jerome Brinkley placed third with a 39:28 time.
Summerville's Jennifer Kryzanowsk, 25, won the Female Overall Division with a 42:27 finish. Audrey Morgan (43:23) was the runner-up in the division and Janet Carter (43:30) placed third.
David Bourgeois (39:52) won the Male Masters Overall Division and Camelia Marculescu (43:54) won the Female Masters Overall Division.
This year 187 runners/walkers finished the 10K event while 485 participants finished the 5K race, according to official race results. Several more participated in the one-mile fun run.
Josh Minton, 19, won the 5K Shuffle with a 17:18 finish. Eric Bohac of North Charleston finished in 18:33 to claim runner-up honors and Summerville's Justyn Lodge claimed third place with a 19:07 time.
Three Summerville runners swept top honors in the Female Overall Division for the 5K. Lucinda Hughes, 47, won the division with a 21:36 time. Jaime Torek placed second with a 22:30 time and Kasey Grossman placed third with a 23:15 time.
Ron Menchaca (19:25) won the Male Masters Overall Division for the 5K and Mary Mauldin (23:51) won the Female Masters Overall Division.
This is the first year the event has featured a costume contest and many participants showed up in green in honor of St. Patrick's Day. Leah Montroy of Ladson took first place in the contest.
For full results from the 10K and 5K events, see the March 22 isssue of The Summerville Journal Scene. For a photo gallery from the Shamrock Shuffle visit photos at journalscene.com.
