You woke up the next morning feeling well rested, thankfully. You tried to sit up when you realized that there was an arm draped across your waist. You blinked and followed the arm back to its person. You nearly screamed when you saw that it was Arthur, shirtless, sleeping next to you. You clamped a hand over your mouth from letting out your yelp and you examined the sleeping man next to you.
He looked very peaceful. Almost childlike. You also had to admit he had a pretty nice body, lean and muscular, but not too muscular, just enough to be attractive for his build. You couldn't help but smile. Then, you mentally smacked yourself. You can't be thinking this. He kidnapped you, said he was going to take you to your real betrothed and then he practically locks you in this room and forces you to eat. You slipped out of his arm, slowly, careful not to wake him.
You couldn't help thinking those thoughts; even if he did do all those things to you. The fact of the matter was, looking at him asleep like that reminded you of someone from your days in the orphanage who used to sleep with you like that, as if he were trying to protect you or to keep you warm since there weren't many blankets and you and he would always give them to the younger kids. He reminded you of that boy, but you didn't remember what that boy looked like.
You wanted to remember so badly. You felt that if you remembered you would know who you were supposed to be married to. You guessed that the fact that you remembered a little bit looking at how Arthur slept meant at least something. You sighed and walked into the bathroom. After the whole morning schpeal, you walked out to see Arthur sitting up on the bed, awake, rubbing his eyes. He looked at you and smiled sleepily.
"Good morning, love." He said, yawning.
"Why were you in bed with me when I woke up?" You asked and started running your hands through your hair to try to untangle it.
"I simply did not want to sleep on the floor." He replied. "What were you dreaming about last night?"
"I was dreaming about… the day…" You tried thinking about it. "I don't remember. Why do you care?"
"You were talking in your sleep." Arthur said and stood up, walking to his drawers. He pulled out some clothes and put that on, tucking his pants into his boots and then putting on his red and black coat over it all.
"Was not!" You said. You grabbed your boots and put them on and grabbed the leather belt from yesterday and put that on also.
"Were too." He said, his back was to you.
"I was not, Arty! Stop saying I did things when I didn't!" You said and cross your arms, pouting.
Arthur froze and then turned around to look at you, his face a mask of shock. "What did you just call me?"
You look at him in confusion. "I called you Arthur." You said.
He face fell and then it went blank. "Oh." He turned back around.
"I think I should cut my hair off." You muttered to yourself. But it seems Arthur heard you.
"Why would you want to do that?" he asked.
"Because it would be easier to manage, one, two, it won't get in my way, and you won't need to trouble yourself to get me a brush." You said. "Maybe I'll ask Alfred to help me."
Arthur didn't say anything; he only walked to the door. You followed him. He didn't stop you and lock you in the room this time, he just kept walking. The two of you walked to the kitchen to get breakfast. You said hello to Roderich and thanked him for the food. As you were eating, Alfred walked up to the two of you.
"Hello, there, (name)! Arthur!" he said.
"Must you be so loud in the morning?" Arthur said.
"YUP!" He said and grinned. "I just came by to give this to (name)" he held up a sword in a sheath.
He walked up behind you and fixed it onto the leather belt that you had over your shoulder and across your chest. You looked behind at him and watched.
"So that was what that thing was for." You said.
"Yeah! And you're going to need this for your lesson after breakfast. So eat up!" he said and he turned to get his own breakfast.
"Wait! Alfred! Hold on a second." You called after him.
He turned back. "What is it?" he asked.
"Think, before the lesson, you could help me cut my hair short?" you asked him.
He shrugged. "Sure! It'll be easier to teach you if you can see what I'm going."
You smiled at him. "Thanks!"
With that, he went to get his own breakfast and, once you finished yours, you left Arthur at the table and tried to navigate your way to the deck. You only got lost once, which was good, and you made it to the deck in one piece. While you waited for Alfred, you walked over to the railing of the deck and looked over at the horizon. It was pretty, such a beautiful view. You had to admit this was one perk to being on a ship, even if it was hard to walk sometimes. You hoped that learning how to fight at sea would make it easier to keep your footing.
Moments after, Peter walked up to you. "HI!" he said loudly.
You jumped and looked at the boy. "Jeez, Peter, you scared the crap outta me!"
"Sorry, sorry." He said. "When are you going to start training?"
"When Alfred gets up here and after he cuts my hair for me." You said.
As if on cue, Alfred walked up and tapped you on the shoulder. "Well, the hair cutting part can now commence." He said.
You turned and saw him with a pair of scissors in his hands, a somewhat evil grin on his face. He motioned for you to sit on a crate that was on the deck and you did so. Then he got to work cutting your (h/c) hair short like a boys, but also somewhat long and styled so you still looked like a girl. Peter even said you looked pretty, if not better like that, that short hair suited you better than your other (h/l) hair. You smiled at him and thanked him for the compliment.
When Alfred was finished cutting your hair, he swept up all the pieces and pushed it overboard. "Well that takes care of that." He said and slapped his hands together. "Ready to learn how to sword fight now?"
You nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be."
"Great." He said and drew his sword with a deadly grin. "Draw your sword, (name)."
You did as you were told and mimicked his fighting stance. Then the ship shifted once again and you almost fell over. "Damn it." You muttered.
"Your stance needs to be sturdier." Alfred said. "Bend your knees a little bit more. Peter, help her."
Peter did and soon you had a stance that actually withstood the constant movement of the ship.
"Good." Alfred said. "Now I'm coming at you. I want you to block all of my attacks. Don't attack me. Got it? I promise I won't hurt you."
You nodded and Alfred charged you. He swung at your side and you moved the sword to block. He grinned and then backed away and went for the over hand swing. You blocked with just the sword and Peter said that another way to block those attacks would be to use your arm behind the sword for more support. Alfred went for another overhead swing and you used the block that Peter had told you to try and it actually worked better.
After you blocked most of Alfred's attacks, he taught you how to parry. You tried it a few times and almost half of the time you were able to knock the sword out of Alfred's hand. You smiled at your accomplishment. After you learned that, he gave Peter the sword and had him fight against you. You used all the new things that you learned, but you ended up on the ground, Peter standing over you and his sword pointed at your neck. He looked deadly.
But that look didn't last. After he had you on the ground, he stepped back, tossed the sword to the side and helped you up.
"Don't worry! You'll get the hang of it eventually!" He said and laughed.
Alfred clapped. "You need more practice. If you can't even beat Peter, it'll take a long time before you can match me." He said and grinned. "And that's what I'm gunning for."
You laughed. "So let me guess, same time, every day, until I can beat Peter, the two of us are going to keep fighting until I win most of the battles?"
"Well, I was going to say every other day, but what you said works great too," he said. "Thanks for the idea, (name)."
You laughed. "Whatever."
"Anyway, things that you did wrong." Alfred said.
He went on and on, ticking things off his fingers. He told you that you broke concentration, you fell for a parry. You also didn't block the overhand swing the way Peter told you, and you also tried blocking the sword with your hand before you realized and used the sword. You sighed and Alfred told you to fight Peter again.
The two of you ended up fighting over and over again until the two of you were absolutely drained and it was time for dinner. You won about four of the matches where Peter won nine.
You hadn't seen Arthur all day, and a small part of you hoped that you'd see him at dinner. But no such luck. He hasn't spoken to you since you mentioned cutting your hair. You wondered if he was avoiding you because you actually went through with it.
You sighed and pushed the thought from your mind and ate the stew that Roderich had put in a bowl for you. You ate it happily and when you were done, you put it with all of the other empty bowls. After dinner you walked back out on deck and saw that the sun was just setting. You smiled, you've always wanted to see what the sunset looked like at sea.
As you walked to the rail, you noticed Arthur standing up against it, looking at the horizon. You walked over and stood next to him. Either he didn't notice you standing there or his was ignoring you because he didn't say anything. So the two of you just stood there, looking out at the horizon and the beautiful sunset. Eventually Arthur spoke.
"You know, I'm going to be a pirate when I get older." He said, not looking at you.
You blinked; you've heard someone say that before. You looked at Arthur. "But you already are a pirate."
He sighed and looked at you. "Why can't you just remember…" he muttered.
"Why are you trying so hard to make me remember something that my subconscious doesn't want me to remember?" You countered.
"Because you need to remember who you are, who that boy was when you were little." He said, looking you straight in the eyes.
"How do you even know that I'm the girl that supposedly forgot whatever it is your trying to make me remember?" you asked.
"Because I know that your name, before you were adopted, was (name) (last name) and that the boy that I'm trying to get you to remember said that you were going to be his wife one day after he became a pirate." Arthur's voice steadily started rising.
"I don't see how my remembering or not has anything to do with you, so why are you trying so damn hard to get me to remember?" You shot back.
Arthur didn't reply with words. Instead he caught your face in his hands and pressed his lips against yours. When he broke apart he looked at you stonily.
"Figure it out." He said before turning on his heel and walking away, leaving you on deck, a look of shock plastered on your face.

Great work with this chapter! Keep up the great work~ ^^
Okay, this is a really interesting story but something is bugging me. What time period is this supposed to be? From the way you describe the costuming and such I'd say it would be in medieval ages or the Victorian era. But you are constantly using now-a-days slang that makes the reader have an American accent and a certain, modern, mindset.
For example: "Peter! You scared the crap out of me!"
should instead be something like, "Peter! You scared the devil out of me," or something like that, Something more in the times. Also you have her act like an American woman with freedom that woman back then really didn't have.
Mostly its the way she talks that I find a little off. But anyway. I'll stop being a jerk now.

I guess, to be honest, it really doesn't have a time period. It's like... Set outside the realm of past time that has already past, ya know? And as an American who uses that kind of slang it's kind of hard to put myself in the mindset of someone from that period who didn't have freedoms and who didn't use American slang. Heh heh.

Vern Davis: Tremendous restoration continues at Graner Park
Hello from Morton County Parks.
Well, it is already spring and we really didn't have much winter so we can't complain about too much as far as the seasons changing are concerned.
This month, I want to mention a few things about the current happenings in our park system.
It has been a tremendous month at Graner Park. I have just returned from there and the work that has happened in the last three-four weeks is unbelievable. Thanks to the Morton County Highway Department, their operators and machinery, a huge dent has been put in the restoration of the park.
First off, a lot of trees that were victims of the flooding were cut and piled up. Our crew went down with chainsaws and cut quite a few down and the loaders piled them up. These piles will eventually be burned as this is a lot easier than trying to cut them up and haul them out.
Another thing that has happened is that a large amount of sand has been moved out. A lot was used to fill in the craters that were washed out during flooding but there is still a huge amount left to move. Hopefully a large amount will be used to fill the old harbor, which has basically been abandoned for 10 to 15 years. This area will then be graveled over for a parking lot for vehicles and boat trailers.
The area south of the paved road has a large amount of work, but that will have to wait for another time.
At this time, we don't know for sure how all of the trees came out of the flood. I had hopes for the pines and their cousins during winter, but it looks like they are turning gray with the warm spring conditions. A lot of the cottonwood, ash and elm are not going to leaf out the way it looks, so they will also have to be cut down and hauled to the burn piles. I'll give you a better idea on the "Tree Toll" next month when they should all be leafed out.
Now a little on the brighter side: the three boat ramps have been operating since early in the second week of March. This is about the earliest I have seen that in my eleven years in the parks.
The fish cleaning station at Fort Rice should be open by the end of April; don't look for the one at Graner to open very soon – it will need to have all systems restored and then the tanks pumped. It will take a lot of debris removal and cleaning as well.
The first fishing tournament of the season has been set for April 28 out of Graner if all things are go. The alternate site will be Little Heart bottoms. This tournament is put on to benefit North Dakota Teen Challenge.
That's about it for now. If you want to go for a pleasure ride, go to Graner and check out the progress, go to Harmon Lake and look over the new picnic shelters (they are nice) and go to Sweetbriar, Fish Creek or whatever you will be happy you did.
See you next month.

The conventional wisdom in the market seems to be that banks aren't lending, but the evidence suggests that so far we have not seen the drops in lending that characterized previous recessions. This is probably due to new capital received from the government, and political pressure from the White House and Congress.
The issue of whether banks are lending is important because no matter how low the Federal Reserve drives rates down, it won't matter without banks extending credit. Data from previous recessions also show that historically, using the last nine recessions as a guide, private sector lending per quarter has contracted 30% on average from peak to trough.
IN PICTURES: Eight Ways To Survive A Market Downturn
New Administration
The answer to the question of whether banks are lending becomes a little easier to discover thanks to the Obama Administration, which has demanded more transparency on what the banks are doing with government money obtained through the Capital Purchase Program (CPP), which came out of the Troubled Asset Relief Plan (TARP) originally initiated by former President Bush. (To learn more about the TARP, be sure to check out our related article Liquidity And Toxicity: Will TARP Fix The Financial System?)
As part of this transparency, the U.S. Treasury just released the first monthly Bank Lending Survey. This is a comprehensive survey of many of the largest banks and what is occurring in regard to lending in all different categories, including commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and residential mortgage lending.
Bank Lending Survey Results
JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) originated $50 billion in consumer loans across all categories, including credit cards, autos and mortgages in the quarter. Small- and mid-sized businesses saw $20 billion in new credit.
Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) reported that average consumer loans in the fourth quarter increased by 4% year over year. In its report, Wells Fargo made a point of saying that new lending in the quarter amounted to $75 billion, which is three times what the bank received as a TARP investment from the government.
USB Bancorp (NYSE:USB) saw its average loan and lease balance increase by 3.1% excluding acquisitions in Q4 2008.
BB&T (NYSE:BBT) said that it originated 215,000 business and consumer loans totaling $15 billion in the Q4.
Pressure From The Federal Government
One reason that lending has not contracted yet is due to public pressure from the White House and Congress. The CEOs of every major bank were grilled about lending practices in public hearings several weeks ago. President Obama has also made several comments on lending during speeches and press conferences.
Other data from the government also seems to be inconsistent with the conventional wisdom out in the market on loan growth. The Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis puts out a monthly series of data on growth in different loan categories, and none of them so far are showing a large drop in lending.
No Lending Contraction Yet
The new monthly report from the government shows that a contraction in overall lending has not yet occurred, despite the conventional wisdom that is circulating in the markets. Political pressure and a generous U.S. Treasury are probably responsible for keeping the funds flowing.

WWE suspends Titus
In a very bizarre bit of news, Titus has apparently been suspended by WWE for grabbing Vince McMahon during the tribute to Daniel Bryan after Monday Night Raw. Those that witnessed the moment noted that it seemed to be a playful exchange between the two of them. There are also conflicting reports about the length of the suspension. Some are saying that it is just a month, while others believe that he is out three months.
February 10, 2016
Bram charges dropped
While the internet wrestling community was quick to come to a verdict, the justice system in Florida decided to do their due diligence when it came to the allegations brought upon Bram. Charges of domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment were dropped after the Florida State Attorney's office looked at all the evidence. TNA announced that the suspension was immediately ceased.
October 19, 2015
Hornswoggle being fired
Now that everyone knows that Hornswoggle is serving a 30 day suspension for violating the WWE wellness policy, the speculation now turns to whether or not he will be fired by management. Things are a bit different for the Wisconsin native because he was heavily involved in the recently promotion of the Muppets. Firing him could lead to even more media attention, which the front office obviously does not want.
September 30, 2015
Brock Lesnar return to Raw
On June 22, 2015, WWE will be hosting Monday Night Raw in Indianapolis. The event has now become something that wrestling fans should not miss out on. Bankers Life Fieldhouse took to social media to announce that Brock Lesnar will be making his return to Monday Night Raw that evening. It appears that the comeback was recently negotiated and agreed upon. In the story line, Lesnar is still serving his suspension for attacking the commentators.
May 28, 2015
Brock Lesnar baby face
In a sign of how well he is being accepted as a baby face, fans voted on the WWE website that Brock Lesnar should not be fined. They feel that the suspension is more than enough of a punishment. That bodes well for the creative department because they don't have to do as much work in building up support for him from the audience. The longstanding belief is that Lesnar has what it takes to be the top baby face in the company.
April 6, 2015
Brock Lesnar suspended
For those of you that are having trouble separating fact from fiction, the suspension thrown at Brock Lesnar for creating a carnage during Monday Night Raw is simply a part of the story line. WWE wanted to ease some of the resentment from members of the internet wrestling community that held a grudge against Lesnar for not being there full time.

Kevin Nash charges dropped
Right before Christmas, wrestling fans got word that Kevin Nash had been arrested and charged with battery after an incident involving his son. It looks like the former world heavyweight champion will not be going to court after all. All charges against Nash, stemming from the incident, have been dropped. He is now exonerated and free about to go as pleased. WWE could lift the suspension now, but Nash stated that he has severed ties with the company.

Kevin Nash upset with WWE
While the legends contract with WWE was not his main source of income, by any means, Kevin Nash is quite upset with management for suspending his deal immediately after he was arrested for battery during an incident with his son. The suspension meant that he would no longer receive monthly paychecks from the company. Nash stated on social media that he did not see himself coming back to the company, even after the case is closed.

HHH suspends Nash
Reports have surfaced that Triple H was actually the one that made the decision to suspend Kevin Nash after he was charged for battery during a situation that involved his own son. It is also being said that HHH was the one to make the phone call to Nash personally. There are those that are skeptical of the reports, as the automatic suspension is said to be a policy by WWE. Legends contracts are immediately suspended until legal issues are cleared.

Randy Orton at Wrestlemania
When it comes to Wrestlemania, things are usually written in pencil, even up until the start of the pay per view. One thing that is fairly certain is that Randy Orton will be given a spot on the card, barring a serious injury or suspension. The problem for WWE is finding him someone to work with. One idea being tossed around backstage is to have the former world heavyweight champion working a high profile singles match against Seth Rollins.

Letisha' Story
My grandmother recently passed away due to heart failure. I believe my grandmother suffered from slight strokes before she decided to come to me and my mother for help. We helped her change her diet and physical habits. My grandmother would say how good she felt and we could see positive physical changes in her. However, she still lived her life the way she wanted. She eventually had heart surgery about 6 years ago and after that I saw my grandmother change from the grandmother I had always known. In the meanwhile, my mother, I believe also suffered from a stroke that affected her vision. Both of them suffer from glaucoma but the strokes advanced things. My mother's eating habits are pretty good but coronary disease just runs in the family and she is living her best possible life. I love my grandmother forever and I hope my mother lives 88+ years like my grandmother.

24-bit WAVE/MP3 Recorder
A.Yes, you can connect a battery-powered condenser mic to the R-1 and use it for recording.
You must first set the mic type select switch to [DYN], and then connect your battery-powered condenser mic.
If the switch is in the [CND] position, a voltage of approximately 2 V is constantly applied to the mic input jack (support for plug-in powered mics). If you connect a battery-powered condenser mic in this state, the mic or the R-1 could be damaged. For this reason you must be sure that the switch is set to the [DYN] position.


text: Ravi Zacharias said something in this series that explained something I had never fully understood before. He said that for the Christian, joy comes from within, while the sorrows of circumstances are on the outside. For the unbeliever, the bitterness and sorrow are in the center, and joy is on the outside. That made perfect sense to me, and Mr Zacharias explanation finally made sense of the paradox of suffering in the Christian experience. Here's the link to the whole series; the statement I referenced is in pert 2 or 3, I'm not entirely sure which off the top of my head. Has Christianity failed you? 2 on Vimeo Scripture states in many ways that the Lord strengthens us. Here are two examples: Isaiah 40:31 Philippians 4:13 We all know that Scripture is true, at least we do on our better days; its on our worst days that the doubts creep in, and maybe we're not so sure... It is on those bad days, those impossibly worst days that we must reach very deep for the promised strength, this is exactly what Stand Firm means. And when we do that, when we insist on searching for our guidance and strength in Scripture, in prayer and in Jesus Christ, we will indeed find how true all this is. When I need Him most, I find Jesus Christ standing in one place, not waiting, just standing, and because He stands in that one place, I am able to find Him. When I do find Him, thats when He strengthens me. If I were the only one who ever said something like that, I guess there would be room for doubt, but in Scripture, Paul says exactly the same thing: 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 It is because our strength and our joy comes from within, through the indwelling Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ that we have the strength that is not our own to stand in the storm. This is not "natural" because it is not of the flesh which perishes, rather our strength and our faith are of the spirit which shall be Eternal in Christ. For this reason, our joy and our strength, and the Peace which passes all understanding are unnatural and unfamiliar, but in spite of all that, this Peace in Christ is very real, and we can and should embrace it with full confidence in our Lord. That, dear sisters and brothers, is how faith is forged in the furnace of affliction, and why this is the way it is unfolded. May each of you rest in Jesus Christ alone... From the inside.

Can a Growing World Feed Itself Without Genetically Modified Crops?
Published 21 May 2013
Global agriculture produces enough to feed everyone if we take 2,720 kilocalories (kcal) per person per day as the intake that would satisfy most of us who lead a moderately active lifestyle. Yet there are still 925 million people who are undernourished, or about 13 percent of today's world population, and nearly all live in less developed countries.1,2 The Global Hunger Index3 has fallen from 19.7 in 1990 to 14.7 in 2012 (less than 4.9 is low hunger; 5-9.9 moderate; 10-19.9 serious; 20-29.9 alarming; and more than 30 is considered extremely alarming), but some countries are in the "alarming" or "extremely alarming" categories (19) and urgent action is called for in Burundi, Eritrea and Haiti.
The long term effects of malnutrition cause one in three children to have stunted growth with the risks of learning disabilities, mental retardation, poor health, and chronic diseases in later life. Hunger can lead to even greater hunger because of an inability to work and learn.2 Population pressure is an underlying factor because it can lead to the collapse, or nearly so, of individual societies. 4,5Capability-deprivation is another because it is not only a question of how people actually function that matters but their capability to function in important ways, if they so wish.6 Food price volatility is a further concern due to market uncertainties, whether driven by speculative future trading of agricultural commodities or the demands of renewable fuels for land.

New Wave staff
The familiar Tulane battle cry "Roll Wave" is about to take on new meaning as the university's newest varsity sport, women's bowling, starts taking shape for competition this fall under head coach Hayley Beavis.
Beavis arrived at Tulane in late April and her first order of business is recruiting — talking with coaches at top high school bowling programs around the nation. "We only have a few months left before the season starts, so there's a lot to do in a short time," she says.
She needs five bowlers to fill the team but hopes to recruit at least eight. There's already a promising development for the new team. Beavis discovered there are a number of bowlers attending Tulane who competed in high school.
Another positive for recruiting is the team's venue: Rock 'n' Bowl, the music-and-bowling venue on South Carrollton Avenue that is a popular hangout for students.
Rock 'n' Bowl proprietor John Blancher is ready to welcome the university's bowlers. "We couldn't be more pleased that the home of Rock 'n' Bowl is now the home of Tulane bowling," he says.
In its first year, the Tulane team will practice at Rock 'n' Bowl but will compete on the road. Beavis hopes to schedule the team to compete in at least eight tournaments for the winter sport, which takes place from October through April.
She says Rock 'n' Bowl "is a great facility that is close to campus, and it is my hope to build a tradition that includes the Tulane student body and the entire university family." Beavis wants to plan some events at the venue to introduce her team to Green Wave fans.
A native of Chandlers Ford, Hampshire, England, Beavis competed at Webber International University, leading her team to a national championship and later serving as graduate assistant coach. In the NCAA, more than 35 Division I schools sponsor women's bowling, including in-state schools Louisiana Tech and Southern and Grambling State universities.

Woodcreek hopes to learn from its loss to Antelope
Stephen Nogosek has learned a lot in his first full season as the varsity quarterback, but perhaps the best lesson so far came Friday night in the wake of a heartbreaking loss.
The Woodcreek High School senior learned about adversity, as his safety valve receiver, sophomore Adam Corbett, was lost for the game after an injury.
Nogosek learned the value of red-zone opportunities, as the Timberwolves came up empty twice in the second quarter.
A series of lapses led to Woodcreek's 39-36 loss to visiting Antelope as it tried to enter the Sierra Foothill League portion of its season on a roll. Instead, the Timberwolves (2-2) have work ahead before they compete in the tough SFL.
"This loss helped us," said Nogosek, who finished 19 for 29 for 265 yards and four touchdowns. "It's going to get us more prepared for the Placer week."
Woodcreek is idle next week and faces the Hillmen on Sept. 28.
The Timberwolves led 29-24 with 1:42 remaining in the third quarter, but the slim lead disappeared when the Titans answered with a 10-play, 59-yard scoring drive that was aided by a roughing-the-passer penalty.
Woodcreek failed to field a short ensuing kickoff, and Antelope recovered at the Woodcreek 39. The Titans scored two plays later to take a 39-29 lead with 8:15 left.
With the game on the line, Nogosek went to work and led a 66-yard scoring drive that was capped by a four-yard touchdown pass to Blake Robinson in the flat.
With Corbett out of the game, Nogosek also was forced to take on the kicking duty. He attempted an onside kick, but the ball rolled easily into the Titans' possession.
The defense, though, stood firm, and Woodcreek had one more chance with 1:37 left. Nogosek led the Timberwolves to the 49 but then lofted a deep pass that was picked off by Damariee Braziel at the 20.
Woodcreek missed an opportunity in the second quarter when it turned over the ball on downs at the Antelope 5. Nogosek also missed a 23-yard field goal in the period.
"We need to prepare better than we did this last week, Monday through Thursday," Woodcreek coach John Hildebrand said. "I feel like some of the things we failed to execute on this week was a direct reflection of some of the things that occurred in practice, which is unusual for us. So I'd like to get back on a solid path Monday through Thursday because that's where most of the game gets won."

We've all had this happen, the battle finishes and instead of returning to the garage you get the message about the server going down for a brief period of time. My question is, is there any way to see the results of that battle or are they gone for good? If you stayed till the end you know if it was a win or a loss, but you don't know how much exp or credits you earned. If you died and left early you have no idea how it ended. If you're running a 3rd party program for WoT you can see if you won or lost and lots of the info, but you can't see compared to the rest of the team.
A minor thing, but I'm just curious if I'm a moron or if the info is really gone.

Don't record replays, they take up room on the drive and that would limit the amount of porn I could store.

This Is My Boomstick
|Kill 30 enemies with the XM25 in "Black Tuesday."
This achievement is cumulative, so if you die the kills you previously got still count towards the total. You start the mission off with the XM25 (High Tech Grenade Launcher) as your secondary weapon, so press right at the start as you'll be using this for most of the mission.
Make sure that you keep it on you the whole time, since you won't find another one. Now just make your way through the mission only using this gun to kill the enemies. If you run out of ammo, swap back to your starting weapon, but don't worry as later one you'll come across an ammo crate and auto refill. If you don't have it by the end, simply reload the last checkpoint before you complete the mission and get the remaining kills.

Don't worry about ammo running out. You can get more once you get into the building you are heading toward. Once you go upstairs to the stock exchange floor, just shoot everyone you see. If you need more ammo, go back down stairs and repeat.

Strangely this popped for me on a knife kill, i was keeping the xm25 out even though i was out of ammo because sometimes checkpoints refresh ammo, so i was just running around knifing people, got it before even reaching the ammo box.

just want to confirm just like Loukakis I probably had 15 kills just by shooting groups of enemies and the humvie on the ledge. Then just ran in the building with xm25 out and knifed up to 30.

Friday, November 11, 2011 @ 07:23:01 PM
You refill your ammo manually by pressing X on the ammo station before going up the escalators. I got it after getting a random reload after coming out of the store then refilling and killing a few out on the trading floor.
|Comment #13 by DJLimeRecharge
Friday, November 11, 2011 @ 08:58:25 PM
here are some tips:
1, try and aim for groups of two or more. At the start, if you run up close to enemy lines, they will sometimes run back. Once they run to a point where there is already an enemy hiding, fire one off and get them all.
2, only shoot if you have a sure shot, don't waste the ammo. Also be careful, as getting shot at as you fire will often send the shot randomly into the air.
3, Keep 2 shots from the first section. Once you clear out the shop, wait on the stars until the group of enemies come in, and get the lot. Pick off any stragglers and rinse wash repeat for the second 'wave'
4, Once you get to the stock exchange, there is ammo caches just before the escalators, so if you still haven't got the achievement, reload and pop the guys upstairs.
It isn't cumulative, if

Just so it's clear, checkpoint reloading does NOT work. It has to be in 1-play through.
|Comment #22 by MM2313
Friday, November 18, 2011 @ 09:44:05 PM
Correct. Checkpoint reloading does not work! I can confirm this, because I've tried it myself and got no achievement. You need to do it right the first time and if you can't do that, just restart the level and try again. I would suggest you don't use any XM25 ammo until you reach the bookshelf place, then commence firing. Make sure you fire at groups - the more you kill, the faster you'll get to the achievement. When you leave the place, you'll be granted more ammo. Again, fire more against groups of enemies and if that still isn't enough, get to the Stock Exchange, load up on ammo from the ammo crate, head upstairs, and kill more enemies with the XM25 until the achievement pops up on your screen. I got this one in three tries. Ain't that hard!

FYI Guys knife attacks count towards this when you run out of ammo, just make sure you jave that gun out and it will count, my cheevy just popped and most of mine where melee :)

Confirmed on the knifing using this weapon. Pop it on recruit, use your weapon till you run out of ammo. Then focus on knifing everybody.
Pretty easy.

You can use up all your ammo. There are ammo boxes. When you get into that room where you have to go up an escalator, instead of going up, get ammo from the ammo boxes (this is only if you haven't gotten the achievement by this point).

Hey guys, good news. For anyone who is having trouble with this, here are some base facts that can be very handy:
-Right when the level starts, take out your XM25 and shoot the groups of soldiers.
-This level CAN be done on recruit. (I did it on recruit.)
-This achievement can be earned regardless of how much times you die.
-If you run out of ammo near the beginning, keep your XM25 equipped and knife people. Kills with the knife WILL go towards the achievement.
-When you finish going through the stock exchange and you get out onto the street, you will be given more ammo automatically.
-If you are not able to get the achievement here, move into the large building and replenish your ammo, then move upstairs to the computer room and kill the soldiers there.
I hope this helped y

Using the ammo restock helps a lot on this! It took me a couple of tries, but it wasn't too hard.

yes this can be done in more than one death. I played it on veteran and died a few times and still got the achievement

It looks like people are saying two different things about checkpoint reloading.
If you get some kills and then die/respawn then those kills previous to dying DO count.
If you get some kills, save & quite, and reload the previous kills DO NOT count.
So you can die/reset to last checkpoint and keep previous kills toward this achievement but it appears you cannot save & quit and then reload and have previous kills count.

So do knife kills count when the xm25 is equipped?

I just knifed 30 people, fairly straight forward doing that way rather than waiting to die. Still works and isn't patched as of the time writing this for those wondering.

I can also confirm Knife works and it's also okay to die. I used up my ammo early on, died 2-3 times but made sure to always keep the gun equipped even with no ammo and kept knifing. Just got the achievement.

once you get to the stock exchange, theres an ammo crate in there. so just fire you xm in there, and run back out and get some more ammo once you run out. shouldnt take too long

Thursday, May 30, 2013 @ 09:57:56 PM
I thought at the start it would be easy!
Then after realising I only had 8 shots... meaning you would need to kill an average of 3.75 pet shot... trying to kill groups of 4 with each shot seemed impossible. ..
Then I realised the ammo crate... after that... I was back to my first thought... and it is Easy as turning ur xbox on (providing it works!) when I get to the ammo crate

Guys, this is bullshit, even though i'm drunk, it's still bullshit. I've been trying to get this for nearly 4 hours now. I've killed at least 5+ people every re-try, and no achievement, so fuck you. 4 hours. Suck my wiener.

Condo project OK'd; starting price $750,000
Bosa wins design approval for 41-story project, leaves name to public
Nat Bosa, the Vancouver developer responsible for many of San Diego's downtown condo towers, says his next project will top all those.
He's planning a 41-story, 232-unit tower at the southeast corner of Broadway and Pacific Highway.
Estimated to cost $250 million and projected for completion in 2016, this would not be the tallest, by floor count, in the city. Its neighbor to the east, Electra, also built by Bosa, holds that distinction: 43 stories.
But it will be the most expensive with a starting price of $750,000. And that's as it should be, in Bosa's view, given its front-door location at the intersection of downtown's two main streets.
And with the site comes the sizzle, architecturally.
"For now, this is San Diego's Sydney Opera House," Bosa said.
He also said he will launch a contest for the public to name the development.
The Centre City Development Corp. board didn't comment before unanimously approving the project design Wednesday.
Board Chairman Kim Kilkenny has the authority to approve a development permit, which can be appealed to the Planning Commission.
The projected size of the units range from 954 to 2,503 square feet with most in the 1,300- to 1,750-square-foot range.
Bosa's most recent project, Bayside opened in 2009 at a price range of $569,000 to $3.4 million.
Designed by the New York offices of Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the new building would feature a sleek, modern, glass-faced tower resembling a spiral shell.
CCDC staff praised the look as "well composed and exceptional."
"The tower's clean, straight-forward aesthetic creates a distinctive and elegant architectural statement that terminates in a unique and graceful roofline," the staff report says.
Bosa architect Chris Dikeakos, working with Kohn Pedersen, said San Diego's ocean-front location provided the inspiration.
"This building is specific to San Diego and meant to be a San Diego iconic building that you can compare to anything around the world," Dikeakos said.
Kohn Pedersen apparently has not designed any major projects in San Diego but did compete to design the San Diego Convention Center in 1984.
Bosa, who has completed seven downtown condo towers so far and has at least five other sites to come, said he plans to start construction on this newest one next year because it is what he considers his most dramatic to date.
"Why leave great wine in the cellar for someone else to drink?" he asked. "I want to drink it."
Bosa said his building schedule has fallen back three or four years because of the recession.
"We want to rev this little puppy up," he said. "This will be marketed nationally. It's an icon. We want to bring the San Diego condo market out with a big bang right off the bat."
He said with the North Embarcadero Visionary Plan's $28 million first phase under construction to beautify the nearby waterfront, "it's time to get San Diego on the next wave. This is the one to do it."
Asked what the project will be called, Bosa said he will try a gimmick he's used successfully in other cities.
"We want to get San Diego excited," he said. "We are going to have a contest in San Diego and want people to engage."
(Sorry, says Bosa, the winner doesn't get a free condo, but perhaps a tour by him of the top floor observation roof deck.)
Gary Smith, president of the Downtown San Diego Residents Group, called the Bosa building "awesome," though he stopped short of comparing it to the Sydney Opera House.
But he said there is pent-up demand for new units.
"If you look at the inventory, the unsold new units are around 200 and they're selling 30 per month," Smith said.

Click here to submit your application for the 2016 School of Media Arts
Portfolio Reviews for work submitted prior to Feburary 15th have started.
Students may continue to submit portfolios for review. Applications will be adjudicated as they are received.
Please visit our Application page or contact NYSSSA at 518-474-8773 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Click here to watch a Mountain Lake PBS Clip about the Schools of Media Arts and Choral Studies
What is the School of Media Arts All About?
Media Arts is an intensive, immersion art making experience. Each student participates in a month of day-long creative workshops devoted to a particular discipline:
*16mm Filmmaking
*Digital Photography
*Electronic Sound Art
*Computer Animation/Intermedia
*Digital Video Art
Our goal is to develop each student's creative process. All students work on the creation of personal, meaningful, increasingly complex, artistic statements. We are interested in ideas, curiosity, discovery, critique, and the discipline of engaged creative exploration.
With extensive viewings and discussions of work, each class includes a strong foundation in the history of it's medium. All classes teach fundamental, formal, aesthetic principals. Classes also involve extensive teaching of the technical skills associated with each individual discipline.The first 2 1/2 weeks are generally spent learning foundations, history, and technical skills, and completing assigned exercises. The final week and ½ is spent developing and finishing individual final projects.
Free your imagination and be part of an inspiring adventure in the cutting-edge fields of video, filmmaking, photography, electronic sound art or computer graphic arts in the School of Media Arts held at SUNY Oswego. We will require your intense focus, motivation, and commitment in this program. Your reward will be exciting and challenging classes, work sessions, critiques, lectures, field trips, and presentations by visiting artists.
While the curriculum stresses creative production, it is not exclusively goal-oriented. Exploration, experimentation, and discovery are stressed. The process - an awareness of the avenues of discovery and stimulating detours - is as important as product.
Robert Harris, a nationally known media artist, is the Artistic Director of the School. He has assembled a faculty of outstanding media artists for the program.
What is Electronic Sound Art?
Electronic Sound Art explores the creative possibilities of sound recording, electronic music composition, sound mixing and a variety of sonic presentation forms. Working with recorded sound samples, synthesized sounds, and other audio samples, students will learn recording, electronic audio synthesis, sound processing, sound design, editing, and music composition. Electronic Sound Art class projects will include formal electronic music compositions, sound tracks for student films, audio "installations" (interactive acoustic- spaces), Musique concrete, and other musical forms.

I want to apply to Media Arts, but my school doesn't have classes in my area of interest or I don't have any work to show!
We welcome applications from students who have a strong interest in, but little or no firsthand experience with, any of our disciplines. A student who has no work to show in a particular discipline must write a sincere and compelling statement articulating her/his interest in devoting an intensive month to study. Such applications will be well served if they are accompanied by evidence of creative work in and dedicated study of some other creative medium. Acceptable "other" creative media include many disciplines: writing, poetry, sculpture, painting, drawing, theatre, voice, fashion, design. When a student is unable to submit work in the discipline to which she is applying, it is very important that a written statement articulate her interest in that discipline and her eager willingness to apply herself and learn.
Here are some examples:
Problem: You want to apply for Electronic Sound Art, but do not have any personal compositional work. You HAVE spent over 5 years studying piano, and have a deep appreciation of modern jazz.
How to Apply: Send a recording of a recent piano recital and write about listening to Monk and Coltrane
Problem: Applicant for Computer Animation/ Intermedia has taken a computer graphics class in high school but has no animations.
How to Apply: He sends his best 4 or 5 graphics pieces and writes about his love of computers, and his interest in the vast possibilities of the Adobe Creative Suite, and his overall eagerness to LEARN MORE.
Problem: Applicant to 16mm film has never shot film but has made digital motion pictures and wants to work with actual FILM and wants to really understand exposure and lenses.
How to Apply: The Student sends video and asks to be placed in 16mm film explaining their interest to work with film at the program.
Students and parents wishing for further information should email NYSSSA at: email@example.com
Tuition and Financial Aid
The entire cost of attending the School of Media Arts, including tuition, instruction, room and board is $2,200. NYSSSA's summer programs are open to all New York State students currently enrolled in grades 8 through 12 who qualify through the audition process. Tuition, room, and board costs should not discourage any talented young artist from auditioning.
We want any talented young artist who is accepted through our audition process, regardless of his or her ability to pay for the school, to be able to attend, so tuition assistance is available. Tuition Assistance Forms are mailed to students after the audition process. NYSSSA awards financial assistance based upon individual need.

But this Lee Perry-produced classic by vocal duo Cedric Myton and Roydel Johnson is one of the peaks of Jamaican roots music in large part because it came pre-baked. The mesmerizing grooves and transporting tunes of "Fisherman" and "Congoman Chant" are layered with studio muck that grabs and holds whether you're feeling irie or not.

Dems Against More Audits
Attorney general calling for reviews of Legislature, agencies

CHARLESTON (AP) — Democrat legislative leaders won't back Attorney General Patrick Morrisey's call for more audits of the West Virginia Legislature, state office holders and agencies....

You think this could have something to do with kessler and the boyz not wanting the attorney general snooping around?

Phony General
Senate President Kessler was jointly responsible for enacting the audit against the former Agriculture Commissioner. His position and interest remains that the proper authority vested on the office of legislative audits should continue their objective and professional obligation. Senator Kessler's position is supported by all rationale interests in keeping the integrity of government out of the hands of a corporate prostitute!

I think they should just do what the Federal Govt did with the IRS investigation. Appoint a democratic donor to do the audits. It's a win/win
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It is pretty bad that anyone, in office during this period of time, could actually suggest that audits are not needed. It certainly points a suspicious finger at them. And it is the duty of the Attorney General to take those cases so hoping to deflect suspicion by mouthing political slogans makes it seem even worse. AG Morrisey took over one of the most corrupt Dem bastions in the state's history and found it to be just that. I loved the comment of a secretary in the office saying that the first day the new AG took over, they saw lawyers who had been paid for years as Assistants and who had never been in the office. Considering our history of corruption its not surprising that Agriculture, held for decades as a Dem pork center, would be found to be corrupt. Its an open battle of career Dem politicians trying to stop audits. Denying audits is tantamount to admitting widespread corruption and hoping that corruption will be able to protect corruption.

Kessler more audits and longer mandatory jail for violaters for failure to protect the taxpayer from corruption. If the Dems do not want to do the job vote for someone who will.

WV has been one party ruled for 80+ years, not good for the peeps of WV. Gainer is one of the boys and likely does nothing to protect the tax payer. I would see that State Attorney as having the authority to audit/investigate any area where he "suspects" illegal activities.
WV would be served to put a majority of R's in the House/Senate and gobernors office and let the shake-down begin!! Actually be for the good of the WV peeps!

Obtaining a MaineCardStudent Service Center, Room 143, Memorial Union (Ground floor) Phone: (207) 581-CARD (2273) www.umaine.edu/mainecard
Your MaineCard is your primary means of identification on campus. It has many uses, including checking books out of the library, purchasing food on campus (hint: you do not have to pay tax at the Union if you pay from funds on your card!), accessing the Recreation and Fitness Center, and entering certain buildings. You can obtain your MaineCard in the Student Service Center in room 143 on the ground floor of the Memorial Union.
You need to bring a picture ID in order to confirm your identity. Save yourself some time by filling out the application online and bringing it with you. Funds can be added to your MaineCard at machines in the Union and library (cash only), at the Student Service Center, or online at the MaineCard website.
Registering for ClassesThe Graduate School, 5755 Stodder Hall, Orono, ME 04469-5755 Phone: (207) 581-3291, Fax: (207) 581-3232 www2.umaine.edu/graduate Online registration: https://peportal.maine.edu (MaineStreet)
The first step in registering for classes is to talk to your advisor and discuss classes that are required or highly recommended for your degree. Your advisor will work with you in designing your official program of study. There are a number of means of registering for classes. Some departments can register their own graduate students using the registration form – check with your departmental administrative assistant to see if this is an option for you. You may register online via MaineStreet. If you need a signature for a class, you will take your signed registration form to Dianne Knight in the Graduate School office in Stodder Hall. You may mail, fax, or deliver the form in person. After you are registered, you will receive a confirmation form, listing the courses for which you are signed up, in the mail. Check the confirmation to make sure you got the classes you wanted, especially if there is limited seating in one or more of them.
Here are some general tips regarding class registration:
• An easy way to find out what courses are being offered is to search through MaineStreet https://peportal.maine.edu/.
• Be sure to talk to other graduate students in your program for recommendations on the classes and professors to take, and how to survive the classes once you are in them.
• Many classes are offered every other year or on an irregular basis. Before deciding to wait on taking a class, make sure it will be offered again in the near future.
• If the course catalog says that permission is required to take a class, you must have the instructor (or your advisor) sign your registration form. You will not be able to sign up for the class using a R.A.N.
• Graduate classes typically do not fill up quickly but it is recommended that you sign up early for your classes. Sometimes classes may be canceled before the beginning of the semester if the registration is too low. If this happens, talk to the instructor teaching the class for options. If you register too late, there is a $100 late registration fee so make sure register on time.
Student BillsOffice of the Bursar, 5703 Alumni Hall, Room 100, Orono, Maine 04469-5703 Phone: (207) 581-1521, Fax: (207) 581-1474 www.umaine.edu/bursar Online account: https://peportal.maine.edu (MaineStreet)
The Bursar in the Business Office of Alumni Hall maintains your financial account. If you are a Graduate Assistant, you typically receive a tuition waiver, but must still pay fees. The Unified fee covers miscellaneous university services and admission to athletic events. The RRC1 fee is a credit-based fee that allows all students to use the new recreational facility. The Graduate Activity Fee is handled and dispersed entirely by the GSG – another good reason to get involved with GSG. Be careful to ensure that your bill is paid on time, as the deadline seems to creep up fast and the $100 late fee is no joke. If you have financial support that has not been applied by time your bill is due, you need to inform the Bursar's office to avoid the late fee. Go to https://peportal.maine.edu/ and select Student Center under Student Self-Service. Next, select the Self Service link from the left-hand menu and choose Campus Finances from the expanded menu. Next, select Anticipated Resources on the right hand side. Choose the University of Maine by clicking on the Select button. Follow the instructions on the next page to update your expected resources for each semester.

MaineStreet (https://peportal.maine.edu/) offers more than just online course registration. It provides instant access to your schedule, grades, financial information, academic history, student bill, and more. Like everything else, you need an ID and PASSWORD to access MaineStreet. Your User ID is typically your name (firstname.lastname). New students should have received letters detailing how to setup passwords. If you have any problems with your MaineStreet account, drop by the IT Help Center in the basement of Shibles Hall. If you need an official transcript, go to the Office of Student Records.

If you are a Graduate Assistant or are on the university payroll, you may purchase a Staff permit that is valid for one calendar year and allows you to park in any lot except for red (Residents) lots. Otherwise, you must purchase a Commuter or Resident permit and park in the designated lots. There is also a carpooling program. Please refer to the Parking Services website for more information. Parking is a major headache on campus, so we recommend living close to campus or getting here early in the morning (before 8 am at least!) if you want to park close to your building. Otherwise there are often free spots at the far end of Alfond Arena, by the Steam Plant on College Avenue, or at the extreme end of the MCA lot. Check out the Parking Services web site for useful information, including current permit prices, announcements about parking changes, and to download a map of campus parking lots. There is a parking committee with one graduate student representative, who advocates for our interests in parking decisions. Ask your department's GSG representative or stop by GSG meetings to keep up on the latest news.
Payroll IssuesUniversity of Maine Payroll Office, 5717 Corbett Hall 120-124, Orono, ME 04469-5717 Phone: (207) 581-3700, Fax: (207) 581-2373 www.umaine.edu/hr/payroll/
All graduate students who are paid by the university must go to the payroll office in 134 Corbett Hall to fill out a stack of paperwork. Residents of the U.S. need to bring either a picture ID and either a social security card or birth certificate; alternatively, you can bring your current passport in place of all of these. The paperwork for international students is even greater. You should bring your passport, visa, I20, social security card, and pretty much any paperwork you have related to your stay in this country.
Buying Your Books
The bookstore is located on the ground floor of the Memorial Union, and has a wide range of merchandise in addition to textbooks. The bookstore usually opens up the textbook section a few weeks before classes start.
The earlier you purchase your books, the better chance you have of finding used books at a reduced price and avoiding long lines. Do some comparison shopping before you buy – many of your books may be less expensive if ordered through a local area bookstore or the Internet, but you need to plan in advance.
If you want to return your books, you may receive a full refund during the first 15 days of the semester. Otherwise you may attempt to sell them back at the end of the semester. If your book will be used the following semester, the bookstore will pay you half the price you paid. Books no longer in use at UM are bought back at the current wholesaler's price (which can be as low as a few dollars for an expensive textbook). If your class will be offered again but not until next year, you may want to hold on to the book for a semester so you can get half-price for it.
