I was hoping someone could give me a few suggestions as to what type of things I might want to do to make the transition to playing this as simple as possible.
I see this game supports M&KB as well so if any suggestions regarding that as well.
I know this game is nothing like Defiance but I have been playing that game the most prior to now giving this a shot. Not that it matters but I thought I'd throw in that info as well.

If you haven't even created a character I suggest you use a recruit link to make one, you get a free Assault Rifle that you do not have to restock so its a nice bonus:
Also included is a 7day Active SP booster so you get SP faster (the points you spend to upgrade your skills), though I suggest you wait until next weekend to activate, SP Bonus Weekend and such.
KB/M is supported in this game there is apparently minor problems associated with it, but Patch 1.4 coming September 3rd addresses these problems, so I'm not sure how to answer your question, lol
One thing about this game, this is not a game you can just pick up and go (at least after you leave the newbie grounds), don't give up. If you were into MAG, you will find similarities between the two games.

Thank you so much for all the helpful info!
So don't click the link you supplied to create my character till after the patch? Or do I click it and make him now but wait for the patch to use him?
Again, many thanks.

Your primary character has Passive SP activated, this allows your character to gain SP without playing the game, so you're better off using the link to create the character now, as you'll get an additional 4 days of Passive SP

Will do.
Glad to see you're one of the few GF users who checks the thread he posts in.
Posting in here and helping me out was much appreciated.

Are there servers with this game?
Reason I ask is I was wondering which one you're on if there are. also do the races makes a difference?
I used your link as a referral and it said for step one to register and link my soe account to the page and I did, but once I did that it didn't go into the next steps. It just went to the character creation page, I don't think I got the bonuses =(
STT_Zidane 3 years ago#8
I play on the North American servers, but for now I can't play because my ps3 just YLOD'd earlier today while playing this game :(
Races at the moment does not contribute to anything except your free Starter Fits, choosing the other races still allows you to recreate the other races' Starter Fits but they will not be free (you will have to pay ingame currency)
Did you go ingame? Because it should work, you'll know if it works when you login your character ingame, there should be a item redemption screen with the "Recruit Assault Rifle" and the Booster, if not try going in your Assets when you get to your Merc Quarters and see if you can find it there

The game doesn't separate players by server.
If you're in America, the game will preferentially try to find you games on the NA server, but if there aren't enough players, you'll be thrown into EU, or Asian, or Oceanic servers, whichever has enough players to put together a full match.
So yes, there are servers, but you aren't limited by server. If you get a laggy game, it's usually because you're not on the best server for your connection.

Gena Charmaine Avery and Mathew Knowles got married in Houston, Texas last Sunday, giving Beyoncé the one thing nobody wants in this world — a brand new stepmother.
48-year old real estate agent Avery is reportedly a former model. Of course, as music fans probably already know, 61-year-old Mathew Knowles isn't just Beyoncé's dad — he was also her manager until 2011.
In that rather tumultous year, Beyoncé's parents were divorced after 31 years in the wake of her father's affair. Mathew Knowles reportedly fathered a child with Scrubs actress Alexsandra Wright.
The actress has reportedly alleged that Mathew Knowles wanted her to give away the baby. Wright eventually filed a paternity suit to prove that he was the father and to collect child support.
Although Beyoncé has denied being estranged from her father and former business manager, she doesn't seem to have acknowledged his new marriage in public.
Did Beyoncé or her sister Solange even attend his wedding to Gena Charmaine Avery? Right now, no one seems to know the answer to that question — or, if they do, they're not telling.
The energetic 31-year-old singer might have been preoccupied with other things. Just knocking down "is she or isn't she pregnant?" rumors could begin to seem like a fulltime job for Beyoncé.
She's also busy with the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, which performed Friday night in Oklahoma City.
Mathew Knowles himself is still the head of Music World Entertainment. He doesn't manage any more acts the size of his daughter's, but he does still have some gospel and soul musicians remaining in his fold.
Mathew Knowles' new wife is quite a bit younger than he is but at 48 she's still a bit older than I would guessed for a second marriage. What about you? Are you surprised to find out that Mathew Knowles has married Gena Charmaine Avery?
UPDATE: Mathew Knowles has now issued a statement acknowledging that Beyoncé and Solange Knowles did not attend his wedding to Gena Charmaine Avery, which you can read right here.

Rangers are four points adrift at the foot of the Barclays Premier League and launch a pivotal month numbering six fixtures when they host Aston Villa in Redknapp's first home match.
It had been assumed owner Tony Fernandes would fund new signings when the transfer window opens, but the new QPR boss insists potential targets have not even been discussed.
"I'm not looking at January. It's about now. There are games between now and the window that will decide where we're going," he said.
"If we don't pick up some points and wins in that period, what's the point of putting yourself in trouble trying to buy players?
"That way you could get lumbered with a big wage bill for next season. It's not the situation we want. We need to pick some points up. If we're in the mix then we can take a look at it again in January. I haven't discussed players with anyone - the chairman or chief executive. We need to win matches now. What happens in January is way off. I've not looked at targets for January."

Tbilisi, Georgia, Feb.22
By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:
"Caspskiy" canned food factory (Eastern Georgia) will begin exporting products to Russia and Kazakhstan late February.
Relevant agreements have been prepared with these countries and the plant is preparing to export products to new markets, the company's director, Tamaz Merabishvili told reporters on Feb. 22.
"The first stage of export will be of a cognitive nature. We will offer Russian and Kazakh consumers a wide range of products. As a result of the realization, we will evaluate the situation and by the end of March we will know for sure exactly what products, in what quantity and periodicity to deliver," he said.
Russia became interested in this factory's products at the end of 2013. The company produces tkemali sauce, ajika, jams. Most of the products are exported to USA, Germany and Ukraine.

With Daniel hopefully soon growing like a weed I need to keep track of this growth because after years of agonizing over every single centimeter measured in doctors' offices and plotted on growth charts over the years to show me what I already knew, I feel like I need to now measure every single half inch and inch…perhaps inches. I think the whole circus needs to be able to see this.
Thank goodness I pinned all those growth ruler on Pinterest like pretty much everyone else did because those things are totally cool and surely anyone could make them rather than pay $89-$150 to Pottery Barn Kids or $50-$85 to any Etsy shop.selling the same thing.
Sure we can!
No problem!
I pinned my first growth chart ruler nearly two years ago and, well…I pinned a few more and each time told myself I could totally do this…and then I pinned more stuff because who actually really does everything that they pin on Pinterest?
I finally got started. That half inch of growth in six weeks time totally inspired me. It really isn't that hard to do what with quite a few step by step tutorials out there to guide you along the way. You just need a little bit of time, patience and attention to detail.
Painting numbers and markings is probably the easiest way to go but I really like the rustic look of the burnt in numbers and markings…more like the $150 Pottery Barn Kids Ruler. At least I think so.
Hey, you go your way and I'll go mine. A little stain and polyurethane and…
We can now measure this growing clown of mine.
Looks nice hanging up here under the Big Top.
Oh, and I am making and selling these rulers (local Northern Cali only right now), $50 each. Gotta pay for that final season of dancing competitively for Jodie you know.
Interested? Let me know. Yours will be lined up behind the first three orders I have already received.

Parenting pros!
Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are doing great as first-time parents, says a pal.
"They have taken to parenting so naturally," an insider tells Us of the resolutely private couple. "Having Leo is a huge dream for them."
Bardem, 42, and Cruz, 36, married in July 2010 after three years of dating; Leo was born in January 2011.
When Bardem accepted a Goya Award in his native Spain in February, he gushed: "I dedicate [this award] to my wife and son for awakening my heart and smile every day."
The month before their son's arrival, the excited parents-to-be decorated their Christmas tree "with pictures of the ultra-sound and photos of each other as children."

The St. Boni City Council voted to accept the resignation of City Assessors Michael Schachterle and Michael Sheplee during its regular meeting on April 3. The move comes after Hennepin County recently denied St. Boni city assessments due to errors involving single-family detached homes, which have pulled building permits since 2007.
Schachterle and Sheplee submitted a letter of resignation effective Sept. 30, 2013. According to the letter, the decision was driven by "age, health (for Schachterle) and available time to conform to the county's new, unexpected, and wide ranging demands being put on all local assessors for their upcoming systems conversion and implementation."
The council was hoping that a joint meeting between city and county assessors scheduled for April 10 would answer many of the questions surrounding the issue Mayor Rick Weible characterized as "a mess." He did share with the council his belief that the net delta difference across the city will be about $10,000.
"They may ask St. Boni to do a complete reappraisal of entire city. I told them I'm not comfortable with that," said Weible. "In a three-year window, up to half of our city could be audited twice."
Due to inclement weather, the April 10 meeting was cancelled. It is unclear when the meeting would be rescheduled.
While most cities choose to have county assessors also serve as the city assessor, the St. Boni council believes this to be a conflict of interest. The council believes an outside contract assessor is quicker to respond to the questions and needs of residents, and that it allows the city to manage the assessment process.
Schachterle and Sheplee intend to complete the reappraisal work currently in progress with Hennepin County, and will participate in the Local Board of Appeal meetings as required. They recommended Dan Whitman as a qualified replacement assessor, according to their contract with the city that states that the agreement may be terminated upon 180 days written notice if they identify a qualified replacement. While the council was impressed with Whitman's resume, they plan to open the position up for applications.
In other business, the council:
• The Minnetrista Police Department is close to hiring a replacement for an officer who recently left the department. Weible reported that 167 applications were received. They hope to have the new officer on board by May or June.
• Weible reported that construction on the roundabout planned for King's Point Road and Highway 7 is expected to begin in June. The official detour during the estimated three months on construction will be Hwy 25 to Co. Rd. 41 to Hwy. 7.
• Weather stations are installed at the St. Boni Fire Station. A public web address is soon to be released that will allow residents to see the data.
• Approved submitted plans for an MnDOT-Dakota Trail park and ride lot. The proposed project consists of a 25-stall parking lot adjacent to the Dakota Trail near the intersection of Kennedy Memorial Drive and Bell Street.
• Voted to appoint Thomas Schufman to the Planning Commission.

Saturday Soiree Blog Party #22
Have you been decking the halls and shopping up a storm? After a week of our tree sitting empty with only the lights to grace its branches, the ornaments are finally up and the stockings are hung.
Of course the kids think they can touch the tree and rearrange everything, but our tree looks well loved! So what if Joy likes to pull the light strands off the tree? Tis' the season for childhood memories! Embrace the season with your loved ones, friends!
While I love Christmas, this year the commercialism is bothering me more than ever. I'm just over the push to buy a crazy amount of gifts, when there are those hungry and without a place to live. I decided to create a Blessing Bag for the less fortunate man I saw and pray that it helps him in some small way!
Trying to take our family Christmas card pictures, we captured more reality than shots of a happy, smiling family! I wish we as a society could take off our masks and allow others to see inside our everyday lives. Our hearts would be freer and our burdens a bit lighter!

My phone goes into download mode without doing anything. It can be plugged into the charger and it would go into dowonload mode, just the power button puts it into download mode too. I'm trying to flash it back to stock but odin would not recognize the phone. I downloaded and installed the driver for my phone and it is not working. Help?
Where did you get your drivers from?
If you got them from the samsung website, then Odin won't see the phone.
You need to get them from this website.
Here's a link to a post that has the drivers:
If you did get them from here, try to reinstall them.
If that doesn't work, then it's above my head.

Project Runway - Hey, That's My Fabric
With 7 designers remaining, Project Runway is building intensity. And, last night's episode was a great momentum booster, with what I thought was one of the coolest Project Runway challenges we've seen. Guest Judge, Vivienne Tam, a fashion designer known for her gorgeous prints, presented the challenge to the designers--to create a digital textile, which would then be printed onto fabric for them. Wouldn't you love to create your own prints? As they mentioned on the show, this is every designers dream! And, so with an hour to design, the contestants set to work on creating their print using the equally cool HP All-in-One Desktop PC to draw, paint, and plot out their fabric designs right on the screen. (I can only begin to imagine the possibilities of using one of these computers and I want one!)
Once again, Emilio is the winner this week. I liked his graphic print using the letters of his name well enough, but I didn't get the heart as an "O". It just didn't read. I thought Tim was right--that it looked like SA hearts ES. But, nonetheless, albeit simple, I thought his dress design was beautiful and I enjoyed the juxtaposition of the graffiti print with the elegant, 1940's French inspired silhouette. All the judges loved his design as well, and surprisingly, his print. I thought for sure they would be as confused as I was about the letters, but Michael Kors thought it was a smart branding decision and the rest agreed, branding him the winner for the 3rd time this season.
Emilio Sosa
My choice for the winner this week was tied with Maya and Jay. Maya created a beautiful print in vivid reds, oranges, and black that Nina Garcia described as looking like electricity. Although Maya was shown struggling in the workroom to come up with a design for her print that was true to her, I think she executed it beautifully and was able to create a look with structural and textural appeal, and that highlighted her print effectively. She said she wanted to create a textile with movement and I think she achieved it nicely with the exaggerated double collar. Even though the judges called her print the best of the bunch, she wasn't chosen as the winner.
Maya Luz
I loved Jay's bright green striped print and the way he cut into strips and pieced it together to form a bodice and used as an accent on the inside of the jacket collar. I also loved the outfit as a whole. The bright print really popped against the black fabric he used for the pants, turtleneck and most of the jacket. But, Jay ended up being smack-dab-in-the-middle safe, so there wasn't much time on screen to see his look, or hear the judges commentary on it.

I am enjoying the season.

I was sorry to see Anthony leave, but they are right, he only knows one design so give it time adn Mila may be gone since black and white is alll she knows.
I didn't totally dislike Jonathon's fabric. He just didn't do it justice with complementry fabrics and the design of the dress was bad. A little more color might have been best instead of playing it down.
Seth is another one that while he is creative, and I'm shocked he wasn't the winner the way the judges went on and on; his designs are for a targeted group. These tend to be fads. I am curious as to how long he gets to stay. I expect to see him in the final show because he has the most talent as far as skills.
I wish Mayo had won the challenge because her fabric was my favorite. I didn't like or dislike her dress. I thought the fabric fit well with the design.
I really didn't care for Emilo's blue. I have seen designer's use their name before on fabric so this is not a new idea. The heart think didn't bother me, I got it. I just thought the blue was harsh.
Jay's fabric was another favorite of mine. I loved it! I didn't particularly care for the outfit, but I rarely see myself wearing any of the designs.. Now there ahve been some that I wish I could wear, but on me and this body---no way!
I am curious as to who decided they have had enoough.

Mila's dress was pretty awful, IMO. She's made it pretty clear throughout this season that she has no idea how to use color (thus the black and white EVERYTHING), and this dress didn't really change my opinion on that. It kind of looked like she got attacked by Rainbow Brite from the thigh down. And the fact that the model couldn't walk in it pretty much clinched it--practical clothing is certainly not the first thing that comes to mind on the catwalk, but the model's got to be able to walk!
At this point, I think 2 of the top 3 are going to be Emilio and Seth Aaron for sure, unless something major goes down in the next couple of weeks. For the third, it'll probably end up being either Mila or Maya (but I'm hoping for Maya, since I'm kind of bored with Mila.) Though I can see a chance that Jonathan will squeak by to become the third.

I will say this for Seth, the man is a tailor, no one can argue that point. He marches to the beat of a different drummer but he is a costumer and lots of his stuff looks like something the ringmaster at the circus would wear. However, I see him, Emillio and Maya in the top three.
I think Emillio will probably win this year but Seth never fails to surprise me and who knows what the man will come up with over the break? We shall see.

Need movie quotes? Just ask Bill Murray
I have yet another theory: If you need to find a movie with lots of great quotes, just pick up ANY Bill Murray movie from the 80s. (Heck, for that theory, throw in the 1970s and 1990s too, so that we can include Meatballs, Groundhog Day and Kingpin.)
When you're trolling the back alleys of your brains for more quotes for our Top Quotable Movie Lines of the 80s list, try to concentrate on these gems. (We all know every Murray line from Caddyshack by heart, so let's try to focus on some of his lesser-remembered work.)
WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM (1980): "You know that one and a half of the State Senate of Utah are screwheads? You know I was never really frightened by the bopheads and the potheads with their silliness never really frightened me either, but these goddamn screwheads, they terrify me."
STRIPES (1981): "And then depression set in."
TOOTSIE (1982): "You slut."
THE RAZOR'S EDGE (1984): "This isn't the old Mister Sunshine."
SCROOGED (1988): "You've got a program featuring America's favorite old fart. Reading a book in front of a fireplace. Now, I have to kill all of you."
GHOSTBUSTERS 2 (1989): "Suck in the guts, guys, we're the Ghostbusters."

Style: 33007352 Colour:
Border printed flares with a zip fly button closure. Stretchy fit.
Love the paisley flares
As other reviewers said, these run large, so sizing down may be a good idea. I usually wear 29, and ordered both 28 and 29 to be sure [my local store never got these in so I could try for sizing]. I am keeping the 28. But, I noticed that the fit of the 28 antique is different from the 28 night. I ordered both colors. The antique runs larger. Interesting, I noticed this in the model pictures shown for this product on the website. The antique looks looser around the hips than the dark color. Also, the antique color in person looks more like a beige/ light tan shade. I know the colors on the monitor of the computer don't always look accurate --but I was expecting a lighter shade in the antique. Not that's it ugly. But I was a bit unprepared for this beige shade. The color scheme overall is pretty and yes, very antique looking. The dark (night) is pretty. I didn't think that it looked faded or dingy (another reviewer said it was too faded). Mine had a good color to it, with a nice sharp contrast. I may end up keeping only the dark(night) because of the better fit. I somehow find it sinful to spend close to $90 per pair for corduroy pants (I know, it's sale. . .) but I get spoiled when I can find super flares or other cords or denim in my local FP for a much lower sale price... :-( Anyhow, this is just me. BUT, yes, they are long! On me, the stubby 5.4, they are really long, and I will have to cut and hem them (as I always have to with FP pants), and this will take away part of that bottom feather print which is so pretty. :-( Did these ever come in petite? I wonder. I very rarely see petite sizes in corduroys and denim. Maybe they don't last through the sale... Hey, Free People: let us the shorties enjoy some freedom... Give us some cool pants for our measure.
These pants are so beautiful and I got compliments everywhere I went by people I know and complete strangers. I ordered the antique color and love the dark ivory color of the base and the muted print. The printed colors match many of the free people tops I already own so matching these pants with something is so easy to do. The length is very long for me. I am 5'6" and I wear them with my 5 inch platform heals but they make my legs looks so long! I also can wear either a 26 or 27 in Free People pants and based on the reviews I ordered the smaller size 26. They fit perfect across my curvy behind and small waistband. The pants are very fine cord material and have a nice bit of stretch to them so they hold their shape nicely. The material is also on the lighter side so I will be able to wear them in the spring and into the summer with a lighter top. If you are considering these I would highly suggest them for a nice unique addition to your wardrobe.
Cute pants, run very large
The colors are little off, seem lighter than the pictures, but still very pretty. Busy, but interesting design. I ordered size 29, and they are at least one size too big. They fit very loose, but they look good. I just did not order a loose fit, sizes are off. I am 6' tall, the length is perfect. I cannot give 6 starts because of the misleading size.
Where does it say that they are cords?
Seriously... I hate cords, just an opinion: they are too stretchy and don't bounce back like your jeans fabric. I would never have ordered these if the description mentioned that they are corduroy. Otherwise, the print on the fabric is beautiful.
Very cool pants!!!!!
These are my favorite pants I own and true attention getters. At 5'9", 135 lb, normal size 6 the FP size 29 that I ordered fit perfectly. I followed the measurement provided by FP. They are cords, but not a problem. The flare is huge, but that's what makes them cool. They are long. I have to wear the highest heals I own so the pants don't drag. Again, not a problem. I purchased the belt shown in the picture to go with the pants. It's a great ensemble. The only thing noteworthy about the two items worn together is that the belt sits on top of the pants not hooked to anything. When I sat down the pants went lower than the belt and every time I stood up I had to fix the bunching in the back. That doesn't deter me from wearing the ensemble at all. Great pants and belt!
They're cords, and they run huge
I ordered these in night. I'm usually between a 29 and a 30 in FP denim, and based on the product measurements, I ordered a 30. When they showed up today, I was surprised by the fact that they're made of corduroy instead of denim, they run very, very large, and they look faded and dingy compared to the product photographs. Also, the flares are HUGE. As in, so huge, it's difficult to walk in them. If you want to give these a try, size down, and keep in mind that the material is not as advertised. I've had all kinds of trouble with inconsistent sizing and quality issues with FP shorts and pants this summer, and am really disappointed overall.


text: 2011 PSOY - California Savings Plus Program 2011 Plan Sponsor of the Year Public Sector/457 California Savings Plus Program Michelle Berklacich of California Savings Plus Program Photography by Saul Bromberger and Sandra Hoover Imagine a 54.4% drop in new enrollments from one year to the next. The California Savings Plus Program actually faced that daunting decline with its 457 and 401(k) plans between 2008 and 2009, as its cash-starved state government implemented a mandatory three-day monthly furlough for the majority of state employees. New enrollments dropped from 12,771 in 2007 and 13,114 in 2008 to 5,969 in 2009. But after an extensive communications and education campaign, it started a rebound with a 34% increase to 8,000 in 2010. In talking to colleagues at other states' deferred comp plans, "a lot of people experienced a reduction," says Michelle Berklacich, the Savings Plus Program Administrator. "But our state employees were furloughed three days a month, which works out to an approximate 15% pay cut, so we were hit harder than the average plan. That has been a big challenge." The three-day monthly furloughs lasted for about 18 months, through 2010. When it can get back to its previous enrollment levels likely depends on the state's budget situation, Berklacich says. "We are now down to a majority of state employees on a one-day furlough, so we hope that people feel like they can afford to put a little more into their future." Overall, Savings Plus has more than 173,000 participants in its 401(k) and 457 plans, and total assets of more than $7.6 billion. "We were trying to get them to understand that even though we were having hard times, they still have to look to their futures," says Kimberly Weir, Savings Plus Program Manager, of its education efforts. "There is a balance of thinking about today and thinking about the future." Plan-design changes helped. Once the furloughs hit, Berklacich says, participants started requesting emergency and hardship withdrawals, so Savings Plus officials reduced the minimum account balance required to take a loan from $10,000 to $5,000. "The thought was that, once you take a hardship, that money is out of the plan," she says. "If you take a loan, you are paying it back, so your final retirement benefit is not decreased." After that change was implemented, loan activity jumped by 77%, she says Savings Plus also began allowing participants with existing plan loans to refinance. "A lot of them had taken out loans when interest rates were higher, say 9%, and now they had dropped to 4 ½," Berklacich says. Refinancing lowered their monthly payments; 10% of participants with existing loans have refinanced, she says, and some participants increased their loan amounts, within IRS limits. "It gave people the opportunity to get through the short-term crisis without jeopardizing their long-term retirement savings," she says. Plan officials also tried to convince people who wanted to stop contributing to instead reduce their commitment, so they decreased the minimum required monthly contribution from $50 to $25. "It allowed the Nationwide reps and the call center to start the conversation" when people talked about stopping contributions, Weir says. "They would say, 'I think you can afford this. Let's have that conversation.'" Once participants understood that the contribution is pre-tax, she says, they realized that it effectively costs them less than $25. "They just had to eliminate a couple of Starbucks trips, and they could do that," she says. Plans call for ending the reduced minimum contribution March 31. The loan provisions remains, Berklacich says, and participants can refinance once a year. Along with the plan-design tweaks, Savings Plus also did more education and outreach. "We have employees throughout the state. We want to provide everyone the same [education] benefit, but it is difficult," Berklacich says. "We have people in hard-to-get-to places." California has about 800 state agencies at 17,000 worksites spread out over more than 840 miles. So Savings Plus beefed up its online offerings, including an enrollment webinar and a clickable state map that makes it easier for people to locate a rep of plan provider Nationwide Retirement Solutions near them to answer questions. Its 2010 efforts also included everything from holding "Financial Fitness Fairs" for employees in Los Angeles and Sacramento, to building grass-roots support by helping HR staffers around the state get out the word about the availability of 457 education. For employees hesitant to commit to a deferred comp program, "The most successful approach has been reminding people that they need to take personal accountability," says Craig Rudesill, Columbus, Ohio-based Marketing Director, Retirement Plans, at Nationwide Financial. "It is more important than ever not to just depend on a pension plan and Social Security. If people recognize that, it is not hard to get them to see the benefits of a deferred compensation plan. It is about getting them to accept the fact that, if they want to be financially secure in retirement, they will have to do a little more than they thought they would." Last year, Savings Plus launched a communications campaign with the theme "I will…." A recent banner on its Web site said, "I will…BE PREPARED," and clicking it led to a video aimed at people within five years of retirement, offering them information on things like investment and withdrawal options for retirees. Savings Plus participants have a defined benefit plan through the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), and Berklacich says the majority of the current workforce gets 2% of their highest salary at age 55 times the years of service. Most retirees also receive Social Security. Some state employees think that between their pension and Social Security, they do not need to put money into a deferred compensation plan, she acknowledges. "For a number of years, people just assumed that would be sufficient, and many still do," she says. "An obstacle we have is to get them to understand that it is not." So, Savings Plus added an online calculator that lets people input information, and then gives them a projection of the gap between the amount they say they want in retirement and what they are on track to get. "Statistics show that, now, people might need 90% to 100% of their salary in retirement; 70% was the number used for years," she says. Savings Plus does not have a specific replacement-income target for the 457, but the interactive retirement calculator helps participants gauge their needs. Plan officials also talk to these non-participants about changes in life expectancy and health-care costs, and the calculator comes in really handy with skeptics. If they do a personal gap analysis, she says, the reality "really resonates when they see it on the screen." —Judy Ward Return to 2011 Plan Sponsors of the Year

An all-new entry from Toyota's specialty Scion brand, the FR-S will remind you of a simpler time when sporty coupes were light, agile, and driven by their rear wheels. Speaking of simplicity, there are no factory options except for an automatic transmission, although buyers can select certain accessories at the dealer.
A 2-liter four-cylinder with 200 horsepower is sufficient to give the little fastback spirited performance. The interior is simple but functional, a daring move in this age of color displays and touchscreens. On the outside, you get classic sports car looks for surprisingly little money. The FR-S is the product of a joint venture with Suburu, which markets the same car under the name BRZ.

On Wednesday, November 13, Whistler's Bearfoot Bistro is taking over the kitchen of MARKET by Jean-Georges in Vancouver. Acclaimed chef Melissa Craig is making the trek down with her team and will cook a four-course tasting menu.
Bearfoot plans to recreate the look and feel of the Whistler restaurant, changing everything from the front-of-the-house staff to the furniture. Guests can even experience a version of Bearfoot's vodka tasting ice room, as well as the restaurant's Champagne sabreing ritual.
As part of the switcheroo, MARKET by Jean-Georges is also popping up in Whistler. This Saturday (November 9), MARKET's chef de cuisine, Montgomery Lau, will bring his team to Bearfoot Bistro, as well as some of the restaurant's classic dishes and ambiance.
"The plan is to recreate our respective restaurants so that from the moment you walk in the door to the moment you leave, you will think you are in a different place," says MARKET restaurant manager David Auer in a news release.
Both chefs will offer a four-course tasting menu, each for $78 per person.

Jack Thompson Once Again Blames Video Games

Sender E-mail
Jack Thompson believes violent video games made Cho Seung-Hui cause absolute carnage on the Virginia Tech campus on Monday
The tragedy that occurred at Virginia Tech on Monday is one that many of us will remember for a long time. Cho Seung-Hui, 23-year-old V.T. English major, took more than 30 lives before turning the gun on himself. While the nation is still feeling the aftershock from the worst school shooting in U.S. history, some people are already beginning to exploit the tragedy for their own benefit.
It is no secret that video games seems to have become a
popular scape goat
for everything that is wrong in America's youth today -- the incident at Virginia Tech is already having a negative backlash towards video games. In fact,
Jack Thompson, well known for his anti-video game stance
, went on Fox News to argue that violent video games had something to do with the shooter at V.T.
Even if you are against young people playing violent video games, it is most likely hard to defend Jack Thompson in this situation. Instead of showing remorse and grief, much like the rest of the nation, Thompson decided to selfishly attempt to use the tragedy to rally Americans against violent video games.
More video game critics are coming out of the woodwork after Thompson made his statements on Monday. It appears that
Dr. Phil McGraw also believes video games desensitize
and cause gamers to commit violent crimes.
This is certainly not the last we have heard of the anti-video game people. If you want to hear what Thompson said,

Our thoughts go out to everyone in the Virginia Tech/Blacksburg community.

MINNEAPOLIS The Denver Nuggets earned themselves another postseason date with the Los Angeles Lakers. Whether that is a good thing or a bad thing remains to be seen.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are going home for another long summer, and Brad Miller is going home for good.
JaVale McGee scored 19 points to help the Nuggets lock down the sixth seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a 131-102 victory over the Timberwolves on Thursday night.
Arron Afflalo scored 18 points, and Danilo Gallinari had 17 points for the Nuggets, who won their fourth consecutive game and eighth in their last 10 as they surge into the postseason. Game 1 is Sunday at Staples Center.
Im just excited about being in the playoffs, and I plan on playing as hard as I have since Ive been in Denver, McGee said. As long as we go out and play like we have been playing, we should be fine.
The Nuggets entered the game needing a win or a loss by Dallas in Atlanta to lock down the No. 6 seed in the West. Had they lost and Dallas won in Atlanta, the Nuggets would have faced No. 2 seed Oklahoma City in the first round.
Its not immediately clear if getting the sixth seed was a good thing for Denver. The Nuggets lost three of their four meetings with the Lakers this season and never have beaten them in six previous playoff series, the last one being a loss in the 2009 Western Conference finals.
Its good and bad, coach George Karl said. Its good that we did what we wanted to do from a standpoint of playing the right way and playing the season out hard. You get to play a championship caliber team, and they have the home court.
Denver does seem to be playing some of its best basketball after a rough couple of weeks integrating McGee in the trade that sent longtime center Nenê to Washington. The super-athletic McGee has scored in double figures in the last four games, and his 19 points Thursday night were his most in a Nuggets uniform.
Where we were when we made the trade in the first week in March, to get to this point, I think its a pretty spectacular performance from our guys, Karl said.
Nikola Pekovic had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and J.J. Barea had 20 points and five assists for the Timberwolves, who will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season. The Wolves lost 13 of their last 14 games of the season.
The only bright spot in a terrible performance that included allowing 80 points in the paint to Denver was an emotional farewell for Miller, the crusty veteran center who is retiring after 14 years in the league. He scored four points with four rebounds and four assists and broke down on the bench after receiving a standing ovation when he left the game with five minutes to play.
He had to compose himself when talking about what coach Rick Adelman has meant to him over the years in stops with Sacramento, Houston and Minnesota.
No, Ive always been the tough guy, Miller said when asked if expected to be this emotional. I had a couple friends that came into town. ... Ive been all cool all day and coming out, it really hit me hard.
The outcome on Thursday night wasnt in doubt for very long. Karl rested forward Al Harrington, who has a strained right knee. But he played all the other regulars in their final tuneup, and the Nuggets were off and running from the start.
They outscored the Timberwolves 16-4 to start the second quarter, opening up a 45-29 lead that never really was threatened. Denver shot 63 percent and outrebounded the Wolves 48-29.
Adelman has been very unhappy with how his young team has responded to a rash of injuries to starters Ricky Rubio (knee), Kevin Love (concussion) and Luke Ridnour (ankle). Adelman went through a similar situation in Houston when stars Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming were lost.
Most of the Wolves wore headbands in warmups and in the game, a tribute to Miller. But that was about all the interest they showed in being on the floor Thursday night.
Miller air-balled two shots in the first quarter and had an ugly turnover, but he did hit a 3-pointer in the fourth and got a hearty cheer from the sparse home crowd.
Adelman wished the Wolves could have sent one of his favorite players out on a better note.
A lot of people made a statement in that game that they were done playing, and the season wasnt over yet, Adelman said. I dont understand the attitude. I dont understand why you would approach any job that way. Some guys made a big statement (Thursday).

WASHINGTON (Nov. 16)
The United States will consult carefully with Britain and France before approving the arms list, or any portion of it, submitted today by Israel to the State Department, it was indicated in official circles. Action would then be taken, it was said, in accordance with Western diplomatic objectives in the area.
An entirely new review of the Israel-Arab situation will be initiated here when Secretary of State Dulles discusses Geneva developments, including the Mideast crisis, with President Eisenhower at Gettysburg, Pa. Dulles returns to Washington tomorrow and will fly directly to Gettysburg.
It was hinted by State Department sources today that the review will cover the question of U.S. arms sales to Israel, security guarantees, and economic aid to the area. A formula will be sought to win Egypt away from Communist influence. Consideration of Israel's arms request will be linked by the State Department to steps the United States feels Israel should take to bring about regional peace, in keeping with proposals by British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and the August 26 proposals of Secretary Dulles.
The United States has not openly indicated a view of the Eden "compromise" suggestion rejected by Israel. But some State Department circles feel that Israel will have to make some sacrifices, territorial and otherwise, if the Arabs are to agree to Israel's boundaries and other points prerequisite to the security guaranty cited yesterday by President Eisenhower and originally outlined August 26 by Secretary Dulles.

Great start.
The bells should be more dynamic at the beginning, and start softer. I'd bring in the voices that come in at 0:48 a phrase later and add a phrase with just the low string melody as the voices make for some weird tones. 2:16 is a bit sudden. In fact, I don't like that portion of the song at all. Too much unrelated stuff going on at once. Charles Ives didn't write video game music. Cut some of the parts. The 2:50 transition is nice. I really like the part starting at 3:08. In fact, I relatively enjoyed it from there on out. The trombone synths sound a little funny at times. Love the voices at the end.
So apart from a few funny phrases, transitions, and synths, this is sounding really good. You'll probably want to add some effects to make the transitions smoother. Of course, all this is just my opinion. Hope it helps.
Thanks a lot :)
Yeah, this was a moment of inspiration for us. Killer actually extended the part from around 3 minutes onwards, so He'll be happy to hear you liked his brass :D
But, we are going to completely recreate the song anyway. We really need advice and improvements, which you've gave us :D This took about 3 months, at least starting it did, the brass extension didn't take long on Killer's side (I think) as he used the patterns we already created. Oh yeah, it's also worth knowing that this is gonna (although it started off as the OST) be sliced up so that it can be used during the game :D

Acquia Delivers Commercially Supported Drupal
We've reported before on Acquia's effort to deliver a commercially supported version of the popular Drupal content management system (CMS). As of Tuesday morning, Acquia Drupal--the commercially supported version--and Acquia Network--which offers subscription-based access to technical support and remote network services--are going live. Acquia has also announced that entry-level subscriptions to the Acquia Network will be free of charge through the end of the year, so that people can try the services. Here are details, and some comments we got from Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal and co-founder of Acquia.
Acquia Drupal is a packaged collection of the many social publishing and content creation tools and modules found in Drupal itself. It will be free to download as of Tuesday morning, and offered under the GNU public license. Acquia's business model is similar to Red Hat's and other companies that offer open source software for free, and get revenues from support and services. As we've reported before, OStatic is based on Drupal, as are many sites such as Fast Company and The Onion.

Ad For Skin Whitening Pill Is Simultaneously Racist, Sexist, & Disgusting!
This print ad for Imedeen's skin whitening pill is so awesomely offensive because A) the very nature of skin whitening products is racist, B) making a blow job joke to sell a product is sexist, and C) suggesting she swallows (especially as I am eating a yogurt) is disgusting! It's a triple threat! Way to go, Imedeen! [Feministing]

Pittsburgh Jewish aid group assists refugees of all denominations
When Ashok Gurung moved to Pittsburgh three years ago, he'd never seen a microwave oven.
"That seems crazy to many people; maybe even to me now. It's just not something people in our community knew about," said Gurung, 34, a refugee from Bhutan who lives in Whitehall, about the kitchen device found in 90 percent of U.S. homes.
Gurung, an ethnic Nepali, left school at age 11 to work as a sheepherder. He said soldiers jailed his father and killed some of his friends. He lived in a refugee camp in Bhutan, a landlocked state in the Himalayas, for 17 years. Like several thousand other Bhutanese refugees who came to Pittsburgh, he got help from Jewish Family & Children's Services.
The agency, which offers dozens of programs and services to refugees of any faith, celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.
"They met us right at the airport. They were there. They had lots of courtesy and welcomed us. It was, and still is, a very sentimental moment. Many people here in our community, especially people who are not educated, feel that Jewish Family & Children's Services are their parents," Gurung said.
Gurung's story is not unlike those of many other people the organization has helped. For much of its history, it has focused on resettling refugees, though its mission is much broader and is financed through donations from individuals, foundations and government grants.
Helping asylum seekers
Formed in 1937 by a merger of several Jewish agencies, the organization first was called the Jewish Social Service Bureau. It became Jewish Family & Children's Services in 1950. During its early years, most of those who sought help were Jewish refugees from Europe both before and after World War II.
"There was a big resettlement of refugees from Eastern Europe. Many of the refugees were orphans," said Linda Ehrenreich, chief operating officer and director of the organization's career development center.
In the 1950s and '60s as the influx of refugees waned, the agency took on other tasks. It set up services for the elderly in 1958 and the Gusky Child Guidance Clinic in 1964. In that era, the agency became a nonsectarian nonprofit.
In the 1970s, refugees' needs re-emerged. Jewish Family & Children's Services assisted people from Vietnam and embarked on a two-decade project to resettle Jewish refugees from the Soviet Union.
Though refugees come from many countries, they share core issues, said Leslie Aizenman, director of the refugee program.
"These people are stateless. They have been traumatized and persecuted. They have been left in the dark for decade," she said. "Jewish people have lived this in the past."
An estimated 70,000 refugees arrive in United States each year. Refugees appealing for asylum may get help from someone like Keith Whitson, who volunteers for Jewish Family & Children's Services' legal assistance program. In the past six years, he has helped asylum seekers from Rwanda, Zimbabwe, Pakistan, Iraq and Honduras.
"These are people who face serious or life-threatening danger in their countries. Some try to represent themselves, which is very hard. I have learned so much from this work and from these people, who have gone through so much and still show such strong character," said Whitson, one of about five lawyers from the firm of Schnader Harrison Segal and Lewis who volunteers with the agency.
Jobless assistance
The organization has programs for senior care and counseling and operates the only kosher food pantry in Western Pennsylvania.
Nearly three decades ago, it set up a career development center — "an undiscovered gem in Pittsburgh," said Paul Privett, 65, of Shaler, who lost his job as a surgical instrument salesman in early 2010.
"I was out of work for a year. Part of the difficulty of finding work then was that there were so many people looking for work at that time," said Privett, who visited the career center 12 to 15 times that year.
The career center began operating around the time Pittsburgh's steel industry collapsed and white-collar workers lost jobs, Ehrenreich said.
"We never start programs unless there is a need for a program," she said. "Change is the only thing you can count on, and we are constantly changing to meet the needs of our community."

- //Windy and Carl
A sense of urgency is not often the first thing that comes to mind when the attributes of a release in the genre called "drone" is being discussed. Drone is typically the study of the static, favoring slow evolution and the grounding power of a single, constant tone over dynamic movement and contrast. In terms of technical details, the new double-album from Windy and Carl follows this template; in more subtle ways, however, it is far more vital than the typical drone album has any aspiration to ever be.
The Dream House / Dedications to Flea is the first major release from Windy and Carl in nearly five years, but its release was sudden, the result of a number of spurts of inspiration that happened very quickly, allowing music that had been developing and gestating for a long, long time to at last be given its final, definitive recording. Tragically, those spurts of inspiration were brought on by a pair of deaths, both of which affected the duo in major, life-changing ways.
Windy and Carl
The Dream House / Dedications to Flea
US: 8 Nov 2005
UK: 21 Nov 2005
The Dream House is not for the impatient. It begins with a piece called "The Eternal Struggle", and at over 30 minutes long, it will certainly feel like as much to the consumer expecting the pulsing, more dynamic (and, admittedly, shorter) drone work of Windy and Carl's past. "The Eternal Struggle" is a song that has become something of a hymn, a statement of reverence and peace dedicated to Windy's departed mother. It was actually originally written over seven years ago, but the recent events in Windy's life brought this new inspiration to the recorded version of the song. The drone on display is steeped in what sounds like a church organ that starts with a mid-range open fifth, but ever so slowly morphs over the course of the track. The notes played by the organ get higher and higher, not by any sort of pitch-bending technique, but by the very slow fade in and fade out of notes, allowing for some very nice harmonies when two chords are in a "transition" phase. The song features quiet bass and guitar textures as well, but it is that organ that takes center stage, eventually concluding after 30 beautiful minutes in the same key as it started, except octaves higher than it was at the start, and with an added third that completes the chord in a peaceful, contented, major-key way.
The effect? Ascension, underscored by the gentle jingle of wind chimes.
"I Have Been Waiting to Hear Your Voice" is something of an epilogue to "The Eternal Struggle", also dedicated to Windy's mother, but this time with a drone built on E-Bowed guitars rather than any sort of keyboard. The source of the drone allows for more development, and the shifting of the sounds happens quicker and more obviously than in the first track. "I Have Been Waiting to Hear Your Voice" is slightly less evocative than its predecessor, but is more likely to be enjoyed by someone looking for the old Windy and Carl.
The second disc is a reissue of Dedications to Flea, an EP that was first released earlier this year as part of the Brainwashed label's "handmade" series of releases. Indeed, the liners to this edition contain some hearty thanks to Brainwashed founder and head honcho Jon Whitney, who evidently spurred the duo along in the process of finally releasing new material. The disc is a two-track dedication to the couple's dearly departed dog, which might seem a slightly odd source of great pain until you read the lovingly detailed obit / explanation in the aforementioned liner notes, words that provide an explanation of just how integral a piece of their life that dog was for 14 solid years. The inclusion of a number of pictures of 'Flea' invites the listener further into the duo's world, allowing an intimate look at a close, loving friendship. Musically, "Ode to a Dog" rides a gentle pulse across the ocean and into the sunset, while "Sketch for Flea" actually incorporates a recording of its subject as a focal point for a piece more still than any other on either CD.
Taken together, The Dream House and Dedications to Flea are a rumination on the deaths of loved ones and the effect those deaths can have. The spontaneity comes from the unexpectedness of the events described, while the urgency comes from the extreme desire to immortalize the tracks' inspirations in sounds that suit those subjects as perfectly as possible. These are drones for a dark room, drones to cry to, drones to sleep to, drones that, on the right night, can invoke the most extreme sense of joyful peace. Both of these CDs hold treasures. It is now up to you, dear reader, to discover them.

Another Russian Army Hazing video
Well, what can I say about the hazing in the army in my country. I guess some "initiation" traditions are present in any army, navy, certain sports or even sometimes schools. Some of such practices possibly carry some symbolic value and signify passing into adulthood or becoming a part of a certain group. Some of these rituals, however, seem just out-right senseless and doubtfully carry anything but the senseless violence and a source of some sadistic form of entertainment for the utterly bored men who happen to be in a senior position to the ones being "intiated." I'd be curious to hear what other people think about this.

While enjoying the view from the top of the AFL ladder, Port Adelaide stalwart Dom Cassisi can't forget the dark days.
Cassisi was Port's captain in four of five consecutive years when the club missed finals, a period when the club relied on AFL handouts to survive financially.
Home crowds in the bleak period dwindled to average about 20,000 - less than half of what the rejuvenated Port now attract to Adelaide Oval.
"I don't really forget those times," Cassisi told AAP on Tuesday.
"They keep you grounded because that is the way it can be.
"But at the same time it really motivates you to keep working hard so we don't ever have to experience that again. It's important to remember the tough times.
"Going through that period, you never want to go through it, but it does make you quite a resilient group. Everyone talks about how close we are as a group and no doubt it is due to the tough times."
Port sit top of the table entering their bye this weekend, having accounted for powerhouses Geelong and Fremantle in the past three games.
"It just firms our belief in our game plan, our structures, and what we need to hang our hat on, which is the defensive side of our game - it holds up in games against good sides," the 223-game veteran said.
"Those games have been finals intensity.
"And the experience we got in the finals last year with our young group was just priceless. The more times we get exposed to the high intensity games will keep us in good stead."
Cassisi said Port's ascension to the top of the table was tempered by their next fixture: reigning premier Hawthorn.
"It's just such a tough competition. We only need to look to our next opponent which is Hawthorn, someone we aspire to be," he said.
"We definitely don't get ahead of ourselves. It's round eight. We have got a long way to go.
"Our list is in a pretty healthy position in terms of injuries and we're playing some pretty good footy.
"But we know that the season will throw challenges at us at some stage and we need to be prepared for it."

I love the style too, real simple and sleek looking.
The sound was a little loudish though I guess. I mean, the sound quality was fine, it just jumped a bit. Maybe normalize it a touch.

Below is an email I sent to all Benefitfocus associates
Just a quick note to encourage you all to check out Fashion Week in Charleston. It is going on all of this week. We have joined with the Charleston Fashion Week producers and become a corporate sponsor. This is our first year and plan to build our presence in fashion. There are some amazing new designers from the East Coast and Charleston is building a great reputation in the industry. I am sure many of you take in some shopping on King Street and see the ever growing presence of top stores and labels. H&M is building a huge store, coming soon.
The inspiration for great design comes from a lot of places: music, architecture, painting, sculpture, auto design, aircraft design, all sorts of industrial design. There may be no better parallel to software than fashion. The style, pace of change, presentation, brand loyalty (Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Jimmy Choo, and so many more), are so similar to software. The excitement of the new "release", the rapid replacement of the last season, it is all a parallel.
We are all designers at Benefitfocus. We design our welcome to the building, we design our work area, we design our meetings, our handouts, our demos, our speeches, our release processes, our QA methods, our User Experience. Everyone is designing for our label.
You are designing for our label.
Therefore, be inspired. And also realize that this business requires a pace. Some people get frustrated by the never ending pace, but when you realize it is just part of the industry, the one we have chosen to participate in, then you can enjoy it. The cycle is hard, no doubt. But the buzz, the presentation, the wow factor- that is awesome. People are intrigued by Benefitfocus. They want something special, and that is what we strive so hard to give them.
Fashion is obviously not exactly the same as software, but as a designer you can take inspiration from it. Go check out what is new at Urban Outfitters, or visit the Apple Store (as much fashion as all the boutiques around it). Have fun listening to music and let your mind go. Check out some new fashions and see how it influences your thinking and design. I am sure you will see the connection and see how looking at things differently, and looking at different things, will unlock your design creativity.
