All winners of the CSB/SJU Study Abroad Photo Contest will be announced on our website February 24, 2014.
Entry #1
Photo Name: Sounds of Bells
Description: Early on in your study abroad experience, you come to find that your anticipations and expectations of what you will experience truly surprise and amaze you every day. During our three hour hike through the breath taking Swiss Alps, we heard the gentle humming sound of ringing bells in the distance. To our surprise we encountered a herd of grazing cows at the top of the mountain!
Entry #2
Photo Name: Patagonia
Description: A five day trek in the wilderness of Patagonia can easily push you to your limits. For us five Bennies and Johnnies, it meant the culmination of our time abroad. Nature threw a lot at us during our hike...including broken shoes, ripped pants, and hurricane force winds. For us, it was entirely worth it and we would go back in a heartbeat. At the end of the world, we discovered again where we began five months prior - together.
Entry #3
Photo Name: Thankful in Florence
Description: On one of our walks in Florence, we journeyed across the oldest arch bridge in the world, the Ponte Santa Trinita, and got an incredible view of the iconic Ponte Vecchio. With it being Thanksgiving weekend, we really spent a lot of time recognizing how blessed we were for this incredible experience, the people we met, and the family we became.
Entry #4
Photo Name: The Pont du Gard
Description: During a weekend long group excursion in the south of France our group visited the Pont du Gard an ancient roman aqueduct bridge. We spent a few hours eating our lunch, wading in the river and exploring the ancient bridge and the surrounding area. This was a weekend early on in our trip and this weekend and outing in particular were big bonding experiences for our group!
Entry #5
Photo Name: Exploring the Dark Hedges of Antrim
Description: One of the things that really sets the Cork program apart is that there are no scheduled trips, we are responsible for planning all of our own travel. My group went to Northern Ireland for a weekend and several of us wanted to see the Dark Hedges while we were there. We had the entire area to ourselves and got to spend time enjoying the beautiful, peaceful hedges. This was especially meaningful after our travels the day before which had been on a bus tour that involved us hopping on and off the bus on a tight schedule. It was great to be back on our own schedule and travelling at our own pace. Our trip to Northern Ireland and the Dark Hedges really reinforced why I picked the Cork program, the freedom to travel.
Entry #6
Photo Name: Winding Road
Description: When a student opts to study abroad, it is for the experience. We remember the majestic moments that knock us off our feet, and this was certainly ours. Located more than 12,000 ft above sea level, the highest peak in Spain, Mount Teide of Tenerife, a dormant volcano, was a humbling experience, exemplifying how we had been feeling on our study abroad trip: on top of the world. After hours flying above the clouds for a several months, we were finally able to walk there.
Entry #7
Photo Name: Jade Dragon Snow...Jump!
Description: The Yunnan excursion proved to be absolutely beautiful! This picture captures the essence of the trip: matchless scenery and great friends. Before going to China, I never knew this side of China. I heard about the pollution, population, and economic problems. Not once did I hear about the incredible people and beautiful landscapes within China. There is adventure and opportunity in China if you look past the opinions of the news media. China was an absolutely wonderful adventure that changed my life, I recommend anyone to travel this blossoming country.
Entry #8
Photo Name:Full Circle
Description: On our last day in Salzburg a small group of us decided to climb one of the surrounding mountains. It seemed fitting since it is the same thing the whole group did our first weekend in Salzburg. It was a bittersweet hike, as we reminisced about the difficult hike our first weekend, and how much closer we had grown as a group since then. As we took in the view of Salzburg one last time, I felt a sense of completeness, and for the first time, realized it truly is the journey that matters and not the end.
Entry #9
Photo Name:Bennies and Johnnies Playing the Shamisen
Description: This photo reflects Bennies and Johnnies integrating themselves into the Japanese culture, with other foreign exchange students from other parts of the world, by learning a traditional instrument.
Entry #10
Photo Name: Single File
Description: This photo captures such a memorable experience of being able to interact with largest mammal on land, the African elephant. We walked hand in trunk, were able pet their rough skin, and even got to go for an elephant ride. It was amazing interacting with one of South Africa's most treasured animals.

In that case you may have a vent problem, but you definitely have a sewer stoppage problem also. You just may need a longer snake.
Hey, I need some help. Here's whats going on. Two story house with toilets on main level and second floor. Both toilets don't flush or flush very slowly. I thought it was the main line, so I removed the main clean out plug and it was clear. So I left the cap off and flushed both toilets and they drained perfectly. So now I'm thinking it's a clogged vent. I also ran a snake down the main line 40ft and didn't hit anything. If I put the cap back on, the toilets don't flush again.
In that case you may have a vent problem, but you definitely have a sewer stoppage problem also. You just may need a longer snake.
The toilets flush slowly, have to hold the handles down until finished for complete flush. Also noticed toilet gurgles while showering. What should I do? Not too handy with this sort of problem.
You have a partly clogged drain. It's time to call a plumber to auger it. Do not use chemicals, they will not work and will cause a hazard for the plumber.
Thanks, I will call a plumber. Hopefully not the line to the street! No digging is much preferred.
The only time a drain line has to be dug up is to repair or replace it. A clog is handled with a an auger. It does require a professional grade auger which is definitely not a DIY tool even if you could lay hands on one. The smaller size that are available for DIY usually are too small to be effective.
Thank you for the advice. Hopefully a more manageable solution. Glad not to anticipate digging project. Will call a plumber!
Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The Clark's Free Outdoor Concert Series Kicks Off with the Patriotic Sounds of the Eagles Band on July 3
For Immediate Release
June 22, 2007
A patriotic sing-along with The Eagles Band, a local favorite, kicks off the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's summer outdoor concert series on Tuesday, July 3. Gather family and friends, picnics, blankets, and lawn chairs and head to the Clark's expansive south lawn to enjoy free concerts on Tuesday evenings in July. The galleries remain open until 6 pm on concert evenings. In the event of rain, the concerts will be held in the auditorium.
In celebration of Independence Day, The Eagles Band's performance will feature patriotic pieces. The Eagles Band, founded in 1936, is the oldest continuing performance ensemble in the Berkshires and the official band of the city of Pittsfield. The band was originally sponsored by the Fraternal Order of Eagles Aerie #358, but traces its roots to the 390th Field Artillery Band (1918). The 390th disbanded in the late 1920s and many of its members formed the Pittsfield American Legion Band, which produced a group that started rehearsing at the Eagles hall in 1936. This group, with deep local roots, became The Eagles Band.
On band concert evenings, barbeque fare will be available for purchase. Enjoy hot dogs, hamburgers, veggie burgers, chips, ice cream, and strawberry shortcake.
Upcoming concerts include Skip Parsons and his Riverboat Jazz Band on July 10; Girl Howdy on July 17; The Flown Home Band on July 24; and the Curley Headed Rascals on July 31. Williamstown Savings Bank is the media sponsor of the concerts.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE)
CRE, which stands for carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae, are a family of germs that are difficult to treat because they have high levels of resistance to antibiotics. Klebsiella species and Escherichia coli (E. coli) are examples of Enterobacteriaceae, a normal part of the human gut bacteria, that can become carbapenem-resistant. Types of CRE are sometimes known as KPC (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase) and NDM (New Delhi Metallo-beta-lactamase). KPC and NDM are enzymes that break down carbapenems and make them ineffective.
Healthy people usually do not get CRE infections. In healthcare settings, CRE infections most commonly occur among patients who are receiving treatment for other conditions. Patients whose care requires devices like ventilators (breathing machines), urinary (bladder) catheters, or intravenous (vein) catheters, and patients who are taking long courses of certain antibiotics are most at risk for CRE infections.
Some CRE bacteria have become resistant to most available antibiotics. Infections with these germs are very difficult to treat, and can be deadly—one report cites they can contribute to death in up to 50% of patients who become infected.
Resources for...
Tracking CRE
CDC is working to better understand the true number of infections caused by these organisms in the US.
Detect and Protect [PDF -150 KB] – CDC is funding some states who are testing the use of "Detect and Protect" strategies to find germs causing healthcare-associated infections (HAI) and prevent their spread. Detect and Protect strategies include:
- Tracking CRE, including use of the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), and
- Prevention activities, such as those found in CDC guidelines and HAI prevention toolkits.
The CRE Prevention Toolkit lists Detect and Protect strategies for healthcare facilities.

To be able to work a 4 day work week! - I\'ve given up on this wish and the best part is I\'m Ok with it. I get to leave work at 3:00 everday and it\'s been working out well!
Stopping to smell the roses
About 10 things at once
Answered on 21st November 2011:
My first day back to work after my second was worse than it was going back to work after my first. I have never felt so upset, but with each day it got easier and easier and now after a year and a half I'm OK with having to work. I wanted to stay home, but financially it's just not an option. After 9 months I asked my boss who had previously said my hours couldn't be changed if I could change them. So now I work 35 hours instead of 40 and get out at 3 instead of 4. The extra hour really helps. Some days I still get sad about having to work, but I like the fact that becasue I work my husband doesn't have to work nights or weekends so we can spend more time as a family. I also find if I get blue about being a working mom more when I don't get enough sleep. And I'm not afraid of using my vacation and personal time to break up the week's so I feel like I'm home more.

My mother is so supportive. She thinks it' good for woman to have a goodjob and she knows it takes two to work now a days. She was a house wife and cleaned houses when we were younger and she wanted to make sure I didn't end up doing a job I hated. My mother in law never really has said anything, but she doesn't have to. I can tell she thinks people who stay home are better, but I told her once that I would stay home in a heart beat if her son could afford to, but he can't so I have to work. I'm out at 3, I don't touch work at home or the weekends and my job is fulfulling and easy. So I think I have a good balance going.

Councils joins forces for adoption drive
3 July 2012
Neighbouring Councils Cheshire West and Chester, Halton and Knowsley have joined forces to help encourage more people to come forward to adopt children.
The partnership will help the recruitment of prospective adopters outside of the borough they live in and to offer a better service, by combining expertise.
Whilst offering a better service and choice to prospective adopters, the joint project will also highlight the need for a diverse range of families, specifically to meet the needs of older children, sibling groups and those with complex needs.
Said Councillor Mark Stocks, Executive Member, Children and Families: "Cheshire West and Chester needs to recruit more adopters for children waiting for placements – currently there are around 20 children waiting to be matched to new families.
"Our biggest need is for carers who are able to look after brothers and sisters together, but we also need carers for children with complex health problems. Contrary to popular thinking, adopters come from all walks of life and there's no upper age limit."
Added Councillor Stocks: "You don't need to have children of your own but it helps to have some experience of looking after a child.
"We are looking for a range of people across the board, including single people and same-sex couples. We will give you support, which can include financial support. We believe that suitable families are out there in Cheshire West for our children and if you can give a child a second chance in life we are interested in hearing from you."
Children in Cheshire West and Chester can wait up to five months for an adoptive placement, once the court has made the decision that adoption is the best thing for them. Whilst this is improving, it could be faster if we had a range of carers to match up to children.
The Council is working closely with Halton and Knowsley to ensure that processes are streamlined and we are able to respond to enquiries more quickly. The ages of the children waiting range from babies to seven years old.
This ties in with the Government's 'Adoption Action Plan' to put an end to delays in the adoption process.
The latest UK figures show that on average a child can wait over two and a half years for a placement.
These plans hope to reduce that time significantly by encouraging adopters to come forward, helping them through the process and enabling councils like ourselves to provide necessary support.
If you'd like to find out a bit more about what this could mean for you and the many children looking for a loving family home, please get in touch and we'll send you our free information pack.
Just call our Adoption Team: 01244 972222 or visit the fostering and adoption web pages.

Join our CSA!
The Marin Sun Farms meat club CSA program allows our customers the opportunity to more directly support our livestock production and processing efforts through 6 month and 1 year membership purchases and monthly pick ups at locations throughout the Bay Area. This effort represents a formal mechanism for more affordably supplying meats that are raised locally, ethically, sustainably, and humanely.
Each month our CSA members receive a box containing a mix of frozen retail-cut meats, based on seasonal variability. The box has a guaranteed amount of frozen meat cuts from our
several species of livestock: beef, pork, goat, lamb, mutton, chicken,
turkey or duck. The mix each month is based on seasonal variability, and
no CSA box is large enough to contain every type of species. CSA
packages are differentiated by their mix of price points - we call
them "steak", "roast & braise" and "ground" - not by specific
cuts. We respect the variations of the seasons and
cannot guarantee what the mix will be in any specific month. Should you
prefer to not receive meat from a particular species, you will
be able to exempt one species in the initial subscription form. Please note: your new CSA membership will default to "auto-renewal" status, unless you contact us to request otherwise.
Livestock production and the re-building of our local meat processing facilities are capital intensive. The year-round financial support from the CSA program provides Marin Sun Farms the ability to confidently invest in the re-building of our local, sustainable food system. We thank all of our CSA members for their support!

During his time as a Chelsea player, John Terry has won a host of honours, as well as becoming the most successful captain in the club's history, and after surpassing John Hollins's appearance total, as well as scoring a crucial goal, in Sunday's 3-1 win over Southampton, the Blues defender earned plaudits from the man he has overtaken.
Terry equalled Hollins's 592 games in last week's Champions League match against Basel, and moved ahead of our former player and manager against Mauricio Pocchetino's side.
Only Ron Harris, Peter Bonetti and Frank Lampard have played more games for the Blues, and Hollins (pictured below) paid tribute to our skipper.
'It's a real honour to see a guy working so hard and being so consistent, that's why he's got to where he is,' he told the official Chelsea website.
'John is a legend. It's important to get your head down and keep playing. In our day we had to play because we didn't have as many replacements as they do now, but John wants to play at all times.'
The 32-year-old has missed only two games so far this campaign and is one of only four players - along with Petr Cech, Branislav Ivanovic and Ramires - to have started every Premier League game. His increase in action under Jose Mourinho is a welcome sight for the skipper's admirers following the second half of last season when, due to a combination of injury and squad rotation, he did not have a regular place in the side.
'John doesn't need to go tearing up and down the pitch, he can stay back and make sure we don't concede anything,' said Hollins. 'With John being captain as well, he's in a position to decide that, at 1-0 or 2-0 up, we can close the game out. In order to do that you need to be an organiser on the pitch, and John's done that for many years.
'He's been the guy that puts his body where others don't, and that's been his trademark, being relentless but also being able to play. He also scores important goals, so what more do you want?
'I've been impressed with him this season, he's only missed the odd game and that just goes to show why he's so important. He has to be there for the big games, to hold the line, squeeze up, stay back and direct people. That's what we see him do week in, week out.'
Football has changed immeasurably since Hollins was patrolling the midfield at Stamford Bridge during the late 1960s and early 1970s, both on and off the pitch, but for him, reaching almost 600 appearances for one club regardless of the era is something to be proud of.
'The manner of the achievement doesn't differ between now and then because you put the work in on the training pitch and you have to be ready for every single game that comes along,' he said.
'The more you think about it the more tired you feel, so the key is to not think about it too much. I've seen John make some fantastic tackles and you wonder how he actually made them, but it's all about experience.
'In our day you didn't want to let the opposition know you were hurt and he's the same, he deserves all the plaudits he gets because being a defender at any club is a very difficult job.'
Hollins enjoyed two spells at the club as a player, before taking over as manager in 1985 after John Neal had fallen ill. Having made his debut for the Blues at the age of 17 Hollins, like Terry, went on to captain the club, a period he looks back on fondly.
'It was great,' he recalls, 'but when you're playing in front of 50,000 or 60,000 people most weeks it could be difficult to get your point across to the other players, you had to really shout or sometimes even whistle.
'We didn't have managers standing on the sidelines giving out instructions, they would be in the dugout or sitting in the stands.
'I really enjoyed it though and I had the privilege of working with some great people, the likes of Dave Sexton, Tommy Docherty and Ted Drake. Ted was my first manager and I was his final signing before he moved on. I owe him a great deal because he encouraged me, he came down to Guildford to see what I was like as a player and he signed me.'
While Terry has captained the side during the most successful period in the club's history, Hollins was part of a team that, while falling short in the league, enjoyed some memorable cup runs, appearing in five finals between 1965 and 1972.
'We played Tottenham and lost in 1967 but we were a good cup side at the time,' he says. 'We were close and we did well because we were such a fit side. The work-rate throughout the squad was unbelievable, we were all super fit.
'On the pitches they play on now we would have won the title every year, but the pitches back then were great up until Christmas but once the snow came there was no grass left. We were so quick and nimble but the ball was slowed down because of the state of the pitches.'
Understandably, the game which stands out from Hollins's time at the club is the 1970 FA Cup final - one of the most memorable of all-time - when we overcame a talented Leeds United side in a replay at Old Trafford.
It was partly thanks to Hollins we were given a reprieve, as it was from his cross that Ian Hutchinson equalised in the initial 2-2 draw at Wembley.
'I managed to get my foot on the ball and get the cross in, Hutch just managed to get across Norman Hunter and he headed it straight into the top corner,' he remembers.
'It was absolutely fantastic to win it, especially after the first game, which we would have lost had Peter Bonetti not been so sharp. The replay was another tense 90 minutes before extra-time and then we eventually won it through Dave Webb's header.
'Walking around the pitch and celebrating at the end was something I'll never forget. The Stretford End was completely blue and white that night and the Chelsea fans were going crazy. We were so tired after the two games though that we didn't really get to celebrate, we just had a couple of drinks and that was it.'
A first FA Cup triumph in our history ensured we would compete in the following season's European Cup Winners' Cup. It was another triumphant campaign and, like the FA Cup final, we eventually prevailed following a replay, this time against the mighty Real Madrid but while Hollins played in the first match, a 1-1 draw, he was forced to miss the replay through injury.
'I almost missed the first game as well because I had two injections in my knee before the game, another one at half-time and again going into extra-time but at the end of the game it completely blew up,' he says.
'For the replay, I was actually the first-ever co-commentator. I was working alongside Peter Lorenzo and it was the first time anyone had done that job. It was a very special night and John Dempsey's goal was fantastic, what a brilliant volley. He still talks about it now and you can't blame him, I know I would.'
Peter Osgood scored the winner as Chelsea won 2-1. Hollins went on to play for two of our London rivals after leaving Stamford Bridge in 1975, but returned to the club eight years later to play a part as a right-back and a coach as we secured our place back in the top flight.
'I played 134 games for QPR and then 145 at Arsenal before I came back in 1983,' he says. 'I'd never played in the Second Division but then I played around 30 games in our promotion season, which was brilliant. I then took over as manager when John Neal had a heart attack.
'They say you should never go back, but we worked really hard that season and moulded a good team. We managed to get promotion, finishing as champions on the final day.'
Hollins, despite a couple of disappointing campaigns prior to his departure as manager, looks back on his time at the helm fondly, particularly the first season, when he led us to a sixth-place finish and Wembley glory in the Full Members' Cup.
'That was a brilliant day and it went very well,' he recalls. 'It was a nice feeling to lead us to a cup win at Wembley. It was massive at the time, there was a big crowd, we had around 45,000 supporters there and Man City had over 20,000 so it was a great atmosphere and a great game.'
Having played alongside and managed some wonderful players during his time at Chelsea, Hollins is spoilt for choice when asked to single one out, but it comes as little surprise when he picks the man who is still regarded as the king of Stamford Bridge.
'Overall, I worked with some great players but Peter Osgood would be the pick of the bunch. He got injured early on in his career but it didn't stop him going on to be a strong player and one that wasn't frightened of anything. He was an absolutely great player. He's well remembered at the club by everybody.'
Inevitably, given his connections with the club, Hollins still keeps a close eye on how events unfold at Stamford Bridge. He is confident the current campaign will go down as another successful one, and our chances will only be boosted with a fit, in-form Terry marshalling the defence.

Oceana and Fish Fraud on the Daily Show
We have finally made it -- Last night Oceana's new Los Angeles seafood fraud report was featured on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Ever-angry Lewis Black responded to the report: "Snapper, tilapia, who gives a S#@*? That's what the ketchup's for!"
Well, not quite the message we were going for with the report, but pretty funny nonetheless.

Moodle Logo Moodle is a course management system that provides
a way for instructors to create quality online courses. One of the primary advantages of Moodle over other systems is a strong grounding in social constructionist pedagogy. Moodle provides a perfect platform for those interested mostly in collaborative types of activities, which include lots of discussions, peer-evaluation, and group building of learning artifacts
Moodle provides not only for rich content interaction, but the open source license and modular design means that many users can develop additional functionality. Most Moodle add-ins or plugins are located at the company website.
Moodle contains similar features that are embeded in many course management systems:
- Forums
- Quizzes with different kinds of questions
- Blogs & Wikis
- Database activities, Surveys and Chat
- Glossaries
- Peer assessment
- Graphical themes
Because of the open license, many departments use Moodle to support professional development activities or host a course for a community group.
How to Access
UIS supports the use of Moodle and it can be accessed via the following web address http://moodle.uis.edu. For for more contact COLRS.

A specter haunts the face of fantasy strategy gaming – the specter of "Master of Magic". Gamers of a certain age remember MoM fondly. This reviewer was not the only one to spend many a sleepless night with the game.
Perhaps it is remembered too fondly, though. In the intervening 18 years nothing has been able to recapture that feeling. Nothing has even come that close (Age of Wonders notwithstanding). Now no turn-based strategy with a fantasy setting can avoid being compared to MoM. The comparison is rarely favorable. One wonders after a while whether potential game designers shy away from the genre for exactly that reason, or try so hard to avoid the comparison that their game suffers.
"Elemental: Fallen Enchantress" (EFE) has decided to confront MoM head-on. A bold move by itself, this is an especially gutsy call given the abject failure of the previous version, "Elemental: War of Magic" (EWoM). If you remember EWoM, I'm sorry for having reminded you. If you don't know how bad EWoM was, just take my word for it. Don't go look up an old review.
You looked it up, didn't you? You poor sod. The game was so bad that the company that made it gave discounts for EFE if you bought EWoM. This was a game that was so bad that they felt they owed you money for having bought it.
Luckily, EFE is a much better game. It is, in fact, a decent game. Not great, but actually pretty good. The basic story is the same: there was a big magical war a while back, the land was laid waste, and now only a few people (including you) can use magic. Your goal is to either unite all the kingdoms under your rule, wipe out all your rivals, complete the uber-quest, or cast the mega-spell and bring the land the peace it needs to rebuild.
Your tools are standard 4X tools: The spin of EFE is the way they work. EFE attempts to make each of the X's into a mini-game in its own right, and to weave these distinct games into one overarching, big game.
For exploration, EFE provides a quest-based set of adventures. You can recruit heroes (your avatar is the only one you start with) who can go on adventures. The adventures generally have a simple structure – listen to the problem, go there kill that, return for reward – but they provide some RPG spice to the TBS. Your heroes all have stats and can gain levels, and quests are a good way to do that.
For expansion, EFE provides maps full of blasted lands, priceless resources, and numerous, belligerent monsters. This is a post-apocalyptic world, after all, and nice places to settle can be few and far between. You might want to just plop cities down as quickly as possible, but many areas of the map simply won't support them. You'll have to fight for the good spots.
For exploitation, EFE provides a variety of resources, including magic crystals, bees (for food), metals to mine, and tons more. They are all auto-gathered once you seize the land they are on and build the appropriate buildings. In a nice feature, certain techs uncover previously unknown resources – a mediocre city can turn out to be a powerhouse once a new tech has unlocked a previously unknown deposit of ore.
For extermination, EFE provides an adequate selection of troops and heroes. Of course, this is a fantasy TBS so "adequate" means tons of different troops: basic non-magical troops, giant spiders, spell-casters, elementals (duh), various races, and way too many more to mention, along with the ability to craft different arms and armor for each unit. Movement takes place on the strategic map, but fighting takes place on a chessboard-like tactical map.
Of course, there is a tech tree that you progress down. There are three primary tech groups: civilization (things like improved farming and greater trade income); warfare (arms and armor); and magic (spells). Each has their use, and each city can specialize in one tech group which allows you to further craft your empire.
In a welcome (sort of) surprise, these different pieces fit together pretty well. For example, your avatar might go on a quest that results in him obtaining a powerful magic sword. He can then take that sword and slay a dangerous monster that was keeping you from settling a prosperous plot of land. The resources from your new city plus the new tech you just researched then enable you to build a new troop type that can help your avatar beat his next challenge. The whole thing hangs together and can make for hours of entertaining play.
So why did I call this a decent, but not great, game? Although the individual pieces work well together, they are, considered individually, about average. Quests tend to start to feel the same after a while; it can feel like a chore (or a treadmill) to go on the next one and you wouldn't do it except that you need the bauble at the end. Expansion can be frustrating – there are so few spots that what seems like an initially strong position is revealed to be hopeless when there is no place to put your third city. Too many of the monsters are too tough when they are encountered, effectively making chunks of the map unreachable until long after the game has been decided anyway. Resources are decent, but having new ones pop up throughout the game can make a mockery of thinking about city placement. And combat comes off worst of all. The tactical screen is small to the point of being cramped – there really isn't much in the way of tactics to be found here. The auto-battle AI is bad – there were plenty of times when an auto-battle resulted in a total party kill of my side, when manually playing out the battle had me win with barely a scratch. Last but not least, the mechanics are heavily tilted toward killer stacks. Often all one really needs is the toughest stack on the board and some garrison units.
In summary, then, "Elemental: Fallen Enchantress" has a lot of moving parts that work well together. There is a lot of replayability here and the AI can put up a decent fight. When everything is going right EFE has that "just one more turn" feeling. The flaws only show up when you start to look too closely at the individual parts. A patch that enabled multiplayer would be a hit.

Research Interests
The Ciszek group's focus is on the application of complex synthetic molecules to surfaces. Be it Feringa's molecular motors, thermochromic switches, metal organic frameworks, or geometric macrocycles, over the years chemistry has developed a myriad of molecules that are capable of complex transformations, contain periodic shape yet tunable structure, or display other remarkable properties. Likewise, materials science and surface chemistry have accumulated decades of knowledge on molecular effects. We are interested in applying cutting edge synthetic molecules to recently established surface phenomena and rapidly advancing both fields as well as the interface between them.
The group's main focus is on modulating surface properties, specifically the work function of metals. Over the last 20 years scientists have become aware that self-assembled monolayers are capable of changing the properties of surfaces, such as the work function, band gap, and plasmons (nanoparticle surfaces). Changes in the work function have lead to more efficient electrical transport and thus more efficient organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs). Changes in the band gap allows one to tune a surfaces interaction with light. These are but a few of the properties we seek to address via synthesis of intelligently designed molecules assembled on the surface
In addition, we are looking at how synthetic molecules can be used for patterning of a surface. Surface patterns at the nanometer scale are extremely challenging. Yet to a synthetic chemist the difference between 2.1 nm and 2.4 nm is merely the spacing of two carbon-carbon bonds. The group seeks to take advantage of synthetic chemistry's ability to work accurately on the nanometer and angstrom scale to create regular sub-5 nm patterns on surfaces.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"If your names are long, there will be no problem fitting them on this invitation. You will love this. The paper quality is nice and thick. The thermography printing was beautiful and perfect. I am so glad that I ordered these invitations. I ordered eggplant and the color is very deep. Really pleased with everything at Wedding Paper Divas."
"We asked the company to do a two color print and it looked gorgeous. We did our names in Purple on the side and in the center and everything else in black. The paper is very high quality and the company sent the cards early and gave us extras that had been printed. We also received tissue to insert with the invitations when we send them. It's these little details that I think make the invitation look really elegant and much more expensive than it actually was."
"I absolutely love the simplicity accmopanied by modern look these cards provide. They came in a beautiful box, neatly wrapped, and was even given a couple of free extras as a complimentary courtesy. These cards are beautifully printed, on thick, durable paper, I LOVE THEM!"
"I ordered the dark purple colored font, they looked classy and elegant for our wedding invites for a winery wedding, now I'm just wrapping them into heart shaped doily and a piece of lace ribbon to finish them beautifully."
"The quality of the paper and printing is exceptional! We used navy ink for the invite as well as the return card envelopes. The photos do not do the embossing detail justice. We ordered an embosser for the return address, which completed the package. The invites were simply stunning and we received so many compliments on the elegance and simplicity!"

Excellent post. Rather odd writing from a moderator. Thought they were supposed to hold to a higher standard.
This topic was about receptacles, not my popularity. I get deleted when I go off topic, so I stayed there by your orders.
I am rather surprised that someone as yourself that has a very bold stance on safety in Electricity, does not consider the mechanics of US plugs VS. those of other countries. I thought you would welcome the issue.
And I assure you that Slovakia is a VERY nice place to live. And much harder to get a household shock in.

Enhancing its famous "TEMPUR® feel", creating a new design aesthetic, and adding features consumers covet, Tempur-Pedic reimagines its core collections
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- With an iconic new design inspired by its Scandinavian roots and new features born of rigorous consumer research, Tempur-Pedic's refreshed collections extend the brand's reputation for innovation.
"As the Tempur-Pedic brand celebrated its 20th birthday last year, we set out to re-envision our beds, with a focused goal of making the best night's sleep even better," said Patrice Varni, Senior Vice President of Tempur Sealy Brand Marketing. "We sought a design resource who shared the innovative, game-changing DNA of our brand, and found one in the deeply creative, human-centered design firm IDEO. With the best of their talent and ours, we were able to marry form and function in a way that brings even more famous Tempur-Pedic comfort, body-adaptive support, and cool and convenient features that consumers really love."
More TEMPUR Benefits, Inside and OutThe refreshed TEMPUR-Contour™ and TEMPUR-Cloud® Collections incorporate core enhancements with rigorously tested preferred-feel results. More TEMPUR® material, and new ways of combining it, amplify the benefits of Tempur-Pedic technology, including its adaptive alignment and support, minimal motion transfer and pressure-relieving comfort for less tossing and turning, which all add up to even better Tempur-Pedic sleep.
Wrapped around the improved "insides" is a cover offering more than beautiful design. "We really wanted to delight consumers, so we spent a good deal of time talking to them" said Brent Pfister, Vice President of Tempur-Pedic Brand Product. "Using those consumer insights, deep R&D focus, and the combined power of Tempur Sealy - we were able to develop smart, functional features that consumers (and retailers!) told us they absolutely love."
Those features include an integrated new SmartClimate™ System, that brings moisture-wicking benefits and cool-to-the-touch comfort, and the EasyRefresh™ Top Cover for a mattress that is always fresh and clean.
EasyRefresh™ Top Cover - Simple to remove, wash and replaceThe new removable top cover ensures that the mattress is always fresh and hygienic. A patent-pending, 360-degree zipper makes the process simple, and the covers fit into any standard-size washer and dryer. Designed for loft and durability, the soft fabric is engineered to last through years of use and washing.
SmartClimate™ System - Moisture wicking, cool-to-the-touch comfortMaintaining a comfortable temperature when you sleep is now a given with this two-part system. On the mattress's outer cover, a layer of moisture-wicking fabric draws moisture away from the body. Plus, the inner cover includes a special treatment for cool-to-the-touch comfort.
Design refresh- Iconic grey color, sophistication throughoutNow the beauty of a Tempur-Pedic mattress matches the advanced technology on the inside. An upholstery fabric in a sophisticated shade of grey delivers a more luxurious look to the sides of each mattress, and coordinates with perfectly matched foundations and adjustable bases.

Silence Is Golden
Wilderness areas are, by definition, areas with little human impact. Motorized activities are not allowed. High in the Rocky Mountains, in an area known as the Palisades that straddles the Wyoming and Idaho borders, rare wolverines still find the solitude they need to make their dens and raise their young. So when the Forest Service wanted to allow a major expansion of helicopter skiing in the Palisades Wilderness Study Area border area, eyebrows were raised. So were alarm and opposition.
Protecting the Palisades
The Forest Service was mandated by Congress to preserve the 1984 wilderness character of the Palisades WSA. Back then, fewer than 100 heliskiers used the Palisades. The Forest Service issued a ten-year permit that would allow up to 1,200 helicopter skiers a year. Conservationists, represented by Earthjustice, challenged the permit in federal court, charging that the Forest Service did not conduct a proper environmental review.
Taking Back the Slopes
The federal judge agreed with the conservationists, and approved a four-year plan among the conservationists, the Forest Service, and the helicopter-skiing vendor to reduce the number of skiing visits to 1984 levels.

Indiana University Libraries Film Archive
Expansive Collection, Extraordinary Focus: A World of Knowledge On FilmThe Indiana University Libraries Film Archive (IULFA) is one of the world's largest and most comprehensive academic film collections. The archive contains more than 71,700 items spanning nearly 80 years of film production, including many rare and last-remaining copies of influential 20th-century films. Its collections are curated, catalogued, and preserved by IU Libraries film specialists, ensuring not only that these films last for generations, but also that they be easily searchable and accessible, providing unlimited educational, cultural, and scholarly opportunities.
IULFA is a member of the distinguished International Federation of Film Archives, the leading association for film preservation. The IULFA collections are housed within the state-of-the-art Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility (ALF), which maintains a consistent temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit and a stable relative humidity of 30 percent. Within this environment, the treasures of this unique archive may be preserved for hundreds of years.
Our Collections
The IULFA collections represent an extensive range of genres and periods, from art house experiments to government-sponsored "social guidance" films, National Educational Television programs to gag reels, and turn-of-the-century Pathé Frères productions to iconic 1980s blockbusters. Among the collection's gems are more than 48,000 educational and propaganda films; the 3,964-item Bradley Film Collection, representing many of the most important and influential actors and filmmakers of the 20th century; the Indiana University Archives collections of thousands of IU athletic game films and other motion picture material related to the history of the university;and the Lilly Library's personal film collections of legendary filmmakers Orson Welles, John Ford, and Peter Bogdanovich.
Educational Films
One of the most extensive historic educational film collections in existence, the Archive contains more than 48,000 films dating from before World War II and intended for classroom use. Indiana University was one of the major university-based distributors of educational films from the 1930s through the 1990s, and one of very few distributors to keep and preserve them. These collections include career training films, U.S. Department of War productions, and more than 5,600 programs produced by the National Educational Television (NET) network, the precursor to PBS.
The Lilly Library's Bradley Film Collection
Accomplished director and film studies instructor David Bradley collected nearly 4,000 films throughout his life, developing an unprecedented collection of both classic and rare productions from the United States and Europe. Indiana University acquired the collection following his death in 1997. The silent film era is particularly well represented in this collection.
Among the Archive's Rare Treasures
Our Mission
The Indiana University Libraries Film Archive is dedicated to the preservation of and access to scholarship and exhibition of the motion picture film collections and related material held within the library system. We achieve this by:
Providing facilities, technology, data management, and information retrieval that enable faculty and student researchers to access these resources to create new knowledge.
film at indiana university
...a place for film. The Indiana University Cinema is a lush, contemporary, Art Deco-inspired theater located at the heart of the university's Bloomington campus. One of only a handful of THX-certified theaters housed at a university, the IU Cinema serves as a museum for film, showcasing many of the treasures of the IU Film Archive as well as arthouse releases, classics, foreign language films, and special series hosted by visiting filmmakers and scholars. Capable of projecting 16mm, 35mm, and all digital formats, IU Cinema screens more than 150 films each semester, with time reserved each week for scholars to use the Cinema to view, study, and teach films from IULFA. A true restoration of the golden age of cinema, the space also boasts several panels of the recently restored Indiana Murals by Thomas Hart Benton that were created for the 1933 Chicago World's Fair.
Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility
With a consistent temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit and a stable relative humidity of 30 percent, the Ruth Lilly Auxiliary Library Facility is capable of preserving film for hundreds of years. This state-of-the-art storage facility prevents degradation as films await digitization and upcoming advances in preservation science. Materials requested from the ALF are delivered within 24 hours.
Indiana University has embarked on a massive Media Preservation Initiative to ensure the longevity and accessibility of its outstanding media collections. This comprehensive undertaking includes the most advanced film preservation applications as well as ongoing digitization efforts to make the IULFA available online and into the future.
Recently recognized as the foremost research library in the nation by the Association of College and Research Libraries, the IU Libraries offer unparalleled collections and services across all types of media. In addition to the depth of knowledge and experience of its film librarians, the IU Libraries provide a broad range of collections and services to complement the IU Libraries Film Archive, including film ephemera, historical documents, and the rare books and manuscripts of the Lilly Library.
