Epic War by Category:
Brauzernye and client toys abound with examples of gaming products in the genre of turn-based strategy on the theme of fantasy. Quite a bit of decent fun flash can result in the same direction, and therefore the game Epic War will become a godsend for the fine connoisseur of fantastic adventures. In the toy has the elements to make the process exciting, interesting, saturated.
Creating a script for the game Epic War, the authors decided to go a proven way.
Why invent the wheel when it already exists, and is sufficient to adapt it for their own purposes. Remember the Heroes series of games, and you'll control the game Epic War principle.
Explore Median land, and see what a people inhabiting them. Are you sure you meet the hobbits, elves, orcs, goblins, knights and other creatures. Each possesses a weapon and is ready to fight for their interests. A little exercise, and natural skills will become a great talent. You will find those who deftly rides, expertly managed with a sword, ax, archery, weaving spells great cures and attacks on the sly.
Each battle hardened makes you smarter. You begin to better understand the enemy's plan and stronger hold in their hands a heavy weapon, bristle halberds, swords and double-edged axes and arrows running further. Win the battle half the battle, because in front of the whole war. Earn mana, which is given for mission success, and spend it on equipment and other necessary things. The more units you have, the more reliable will be the protection of the castle, which must be defended at the cost of life. It is necessary to hand over the position, and the enemy will cross the wall, and then take him inside.
Your hero will be assistants, very useful on the battlefield. They rush forward, in order to destroy the enemy, who took the lead, allowing you to make a final sweep. They look just fabulous battle, because they involve mythical creatures, chariots of fire, winged dragons, wizards create magic, transforming each wave of the hand in the lights of fireworks.
During the game Epic War used the familiar management system:
The fate of the soldier to strip the weapon there, where it will be sent.
Choosing the path of a soldier, he realizes that he refuses to goodwill, and is forced to obey orders and to win in any conditions.
you will be surrounded by the bare steppe, cold stones, ice fields, and even an infernal abyss, as in the case of the fifth part of the game Epic War. This is perhaps the most demanded due to a series of colorful landscapes of the Firelands and terrifying enemies. The impressive size of the enemy inspires awe, but do not be confused menacing grin and sharp claws. Do you have what they oppose hardened steel knives, which directs the firm hand of a warrior.
Be resolute, courageous and energetic during the game Epic War, and then by a large, well-trained army, you hold the siege of the fortress, drop the enemy forces back and strengthen their positions. Military Saga has a lot of sequels, and you will find a long trek, the protection of their territories, and the conquest of others.

Asian BBQ Pork Wontons with Cucumber-Peanut Salsa
Ground chicken or turkey is great in this recipe, too. The filling is spicy, so the cool cucumber salsa is a refreshing accompaniment.
Rate This!
Asian BBQ Pork Wontons with Cucumber-Peanut Salsa
- For filling, in a small bowl combine hoisin sauce, honey, soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, and lime juice; set aside.
- In a large skillet heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, celery, ginger, and garlic; cook and stir for 2 minutes. Add ground pork; cook until brown, using a wooden spoon to break up meat as it cooks. Drain off fat. Stir hoisin mixture into meat mixture. Simmer, uncovered, until hoisin mixture thickens slightly and coats meat. Cool.
- For salsa, in a medium bowl combine cucumber, peanuts, red onion, cilantro, vinegar, jalapeno pepper, sugar, and sesame oil. Season to taste with salt. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
- To assemble wontons, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place four or five wrappers on a clean, dry work surface. Place about 1 tablespoon of the filling in center of each wrapper. Using your fingers or a pastry brush, lightly moisten edges of wrappers with water. Fold each wrapper in half diagonally; press edges together to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet and keep covered with a damp towel. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry 4 or 5 wontons at a time in deep hot peanut oil (350 degrees F) for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden, turning once. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve wontons with salsa for dipping.
From the Test Kitchen
Because chile peppers contain volatile oils that can burn your skin and eyes, avoid direct contact with them as much as possible. When working with chile peppers, wear plastic or rubber gloves. If your bare hands do touch the peppers, wash your hands and nails well with soap and warm water.

Thursday, March 31, 2011
I'm halfway done. As of March 26th, I had been in Congo for six months, with another six months to go before the end of my contract. My second week-long break begins a week from tomorrow, and although the next six months will no doubt present more than enough challenges, I have reason to suspect that I've already passed the steepest part of the learning curve.
Some people get addicted to humanitarian work, it seems. They hop from Darfur to eastern Congo to Pakistan, drawn to...I haven't decided what, exactly. The constant novelty? The chance to trade suburban ennui for a largely unpredictable and chaotic environment? The feeling of importance and power that accompanies expat life in a developing country? The sense of making a tangible difference in beneficiairies' lives?
I am surviving, and definitely appreciative of the experience, but am not won over to the lifestyle yet. I am showing signs of extended stress, such as I've never had before. A combination of social isolation, an environment of discouraging corruption and poverty from which even the well-educated and entrepreneuring find it near impossible to escape, an unapologetically critical and often hostile boss, a neverending workload, and most significantly, a level of physical confinement I have never before had to contend with.
I would like to hop on a bicycle and expel this stress in a two thousand mile trail of dust. I find myself dreaming of the American Southwest, the northern Rockies, Patagonia, anywhere where social foibles can be forgotten and a primarily physical existence is possible.
The humanitarian world is extremely liberating on the one hand--you can recreate your image here however you'd like to--and on the other, painfully restricting.
Yet that bicycle trip (or its equivalent) is still a ways away, and my upcoming break far too short to dispel this stress completely. So in the meantime I am trying to focus on the positive aspects of this place, this project, my being here at this point in time. The deepening closeness with different members of the staff, the weekend strolls into the high country with the night watchmen, my slowly expanding knowledge of Swahili, the beneficiairies who are now able to pay their children's school fees because of their new small business, the communities who are finally starting to reap the profits of wilt-free bananas, the neighborhood children who call out my name instead of "Muzungu!", the relative ease with which I now carry out the routine project management tasks, the quiet dignity of the streams of barefoot women hauling impossible loads to market.

It's important not to spread yourself too thin as a business owner. Rather be a master at one element of your business that generates you income as opposed to a jack of all trades. This is why many companies outsource their accounting, printing and design work, as well as PR services, recruitment, sales and marketing. By doing so they can then focus on their products and services and in-house customer service.
The main reason to outsource certain functions to specific companies is because they are a specialist in that area.
ORA Group are specialists in direct marketing and sales – and that's why we've experienced such amazing growth since inception.
The answer to this question is very simple: any and all products that appeal to the mass market. Products that can be purchased by various demographics in any geographical location. We have worked with clients in the financial, telecommunications, food, health and beauty, home entertainment, security, charity and energy sectors.
ORA Group is confident that we can increase the market share for almost any brand so long as they have a large target market.
The only types of brands that don't work alongside mass-market penetration are exclusive luxury and very expensive products where only a small percentage of the population will qualify.
No brand can say they have enough customers. All companies are looking to increase their bottom line and for this reason ORA Group will continue to not only stay in business but grow exponentially each quarter.
Along with all the other benefits that direct marketing has to offer, ORA Group also offer our clients a no-win no-fee guarantee which completely alleviates any risk factor for the client when partnering up with ORA Group.


text: Harry's Nazi Gaffe 13 January 2005 http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/articles/PA_NEWROYALHarryThur6HarryNazi?source=&ct=5 Prince Harry has provoked outrage after being pictured dressed as a Nazi soldier at a fancy dress party. Not sure how long this image link will last: The picture, published on the front page of The Sun newspaper, immediately drew strong condemnation and questions over Harry's suitability to train as a British Army officer. Clarence House swiftly issued a statement from the Prince in which he apologised for any offence. The newspaper said Harry, 20, had attended a fancy dress party in the desert uniform of Rommel's German Afrika Korps to the party in Wiltshire. The photo shows him wearing a swastika armband and a badge of the German Wehrmacht or defence force on his collar. Andy Pike, from Unite Against Fascism, said: "Prince Harry has had a very expensive education, is supposedly fit to be an officer serving in his country's armed forces and one would assume he is not a complete idiot. (Not a valid assumption.) "One would be very surprised if he were not aware of the significance of wearing the swastika and the amount of offence that would cause. "We believe it will offend the whole of the Jewish community and many others. It is extremely disrespectful to the millions of people that fought against fascism." In a statement, the Prince said: "I am very sorry if I caused any offence or embarrassment to anyone. It was a poor choice of costume and I apologise." However, Mr Pike called for the third in line to the throne to do more than apologise, and "distance" himself from the Nazis. We don't think that [an apology] is enough. We would like to see Harry distance himself from Nazi ideas of white supremacy, anti-semitism and racism because he is a very influential figure. We think just an apology won't do," he said. Jeff Barak, deputy editor of the Jewish Chronicle, told Sky News his reaction to the photograph was one of "shock and revulsion". He said going to a fancy dress party as a Nazi was something that one does not do and not a laughing matter. "He has made a serious error," added Mr Barak.

i saw the new rocky film
and it's pretty bad. alright the premise is funny but completely ridiculous and each scene is basically a journey through rocky's emotional rollercoaster of a life now he doesn't have boxing or a wife.
i predict it's gonna get grade a panned.
mind u it's still rocky and sly is now the closest to a human tank i've ever seen haha. oh yeah it's worth watching as well for rocky's pointless spazzy diatribes on life. "you gotta fight through your troubles and take the punches!!!!"
you're brave
or really crazy...
from your review
it sounds like my perfect movie. no really. no really. no really.
Yep. Yep. Yep.
or at least good enough to tide everyone over until Rambo IV comes out. Which is in 2008.
Rambo IV: End of Peace (USA) (working title)
Rambo IV: Holy War (USA) (working title)
Rambo IV: In the Serpent's Eye (USA) (working title)
"The next chapter finds Rambo recruited by a group of Christian human rights missionaries to protect them against pirates"
for that ?
Do you have a problem ?
Rambo UV is out this year, I thought?
Thought this was the year of Die Hard 4 and Rambo IV because (allegedly) Willis and Stallone had a bet with Arnie meaning they had reprise their most famous roles if he won the election.
Though Rambo UV sounds intriguing.
Suspicions: Confirmed.
I know this film (and the Rambo one) are both going to be awful but I know I'll see them anyway.
i predict rambo will be similarly bad
but it's one of those films you've gotta see ya know?
way !
i watched raging bull yesterday
i thought it was rocky
Rocky VII: Adrian's Revenge
She kills Drago in a legit fight. Never did get over that guy dying...
When I found out
his opponent was called Mason 'The Line' Dixon, I lost what little interest I had in seeing it.
i've never seen a rocky film
OR a rambo film.
^^^^^ This
Yes, me too. And I don't even have the excuse of being as young as gunners.
The best bit
Is his restaurant and his constant pestering of customers about his old stories. Oh Rocky.
well i liked the film
i must admit. It was a refreshing change from the OTT and unbelievable storylines of rocky 3 & 4 and the crapness of rocky 5
I found the whole film to be quite subtle and it was even pretty touching in parts. Its rocky isnt it, he is an institution!
I liked the parts in the fight scene where he would get hit and a tiny flash of mickey, adrian or adrians grave would come on to the screen. so quick you barely saw it.
Not a bad effort
I went to that museum in Philadelphia
where he runs up the steps...Massive imposing modern art museum...with a Stallone statue and a Rocky footprint that everyone goes to see and then fucks off.
He's got tiny little feet
My Rocky impression:

In the "old days", you could only make your lists via a spreadsheet program or table within a text document. I wanted to keep track of my books, especially ones that I had that were signed or special edition for some reason.
I stumbled across a new website in my search for information on how to blog. www.goodreads.com
As someone who LOVES making lists (I know, weird, huh?), I used a spreadsheet for everything; books, movies, addresses, etc. I found that while different programs have come and gone, you can always transfer or import using a .csv file. I really love how easy this site is to use.
1. First, you must create an account to start. It was VERY simple. I used my existed gmail account and added my name and password. That's it.
2. It also allows you to add friends by uploading your address book. I skipped this step.
3. You can of course just move forward and record books.
They have 2 other options that I have not tried just yet. To upload from your Amazon wish list and worse come to worse - to simply add a new title manually.
I have started the task of adding my insane list of books that I have already read, but you could just start fresh with what you reading now.
It also gives the option of seeing and sharing reviews of your friends, joining book discussions, reading reviews and more. It is a neat system. I figured that I would post mine for you via a widget they offer. I have made a pledge on their website to read 20 books this year. You can select any number you want and it tracks your progress.
Enjoy a good book!

One more post recapping the 2013 SHOT Show, and then I want to focus on some specific manufacturers I had a chance to talk to last week. I even took some video - don't worry, I'm not in any of them - for a chance of pace. There's some new and exciting stuff out there, and I'll be putting it out over the next week or so. Here's some of the new items I encountered on my third and final day at SHOT Show:
Fully tricked out Ruger Mark III on display at the Brownell's booth:
All the parts used to transform the standard Mark III into the tack-driver pictured are available from our good friends at Brownells, from the Paclite top end to the Vortex Razor red dot sight.
Someone tell Ambulance Driver we found his next hog gun:
This is the new B.mag from Savage in the new .17 Winchester Super Magnum - a necked-down .22 Magnum. Should be hell on those feral hogs, AD!
I did a double-take when I saw this display:
Yes, those are defensive shotguns from, of all people, Weatherby. This is their new Threat Response series of semi-automatic and pump-action shotguns based on their existing line of hunting shotguns. It's a welcome departure for a company known for making safari rifles!
And lastly, one of the most beautiful pieces I saw at the show:
Yes, that is a stainless LeMat reproduction by Pietta. It is far more gorgeous than that picture transmits. And it's a muzzle-loader, so that's a 20 gauge shotgun in the middle...
It was a good week, indeed, at SHOT Show - and more to come!
That is all.

Glad to see you made it back to MA!
That Pietta is gorgeous, I'll put it on my list right after the Perazzi shotguns I will never be able to afford!
It was great meeting/chatting with you.

Of course the LeMatt's 153 year old design is illegal in NY, soon to be in Conn., and undoubtedly makes Chuckles (D-NY) go poo-poo in his pampers.

M... is for Manuka Honey
This is the New Zealander coming out in me again, but one of my favourite things is Manuka honey. Not for eating, however - my favourite honey for consumption is extracted by my father, from my father's bees, made in his honey house and sent to me where-ever I am in the world!
But I use Manuka honey for medicinal purposes.. and it's never failed me yet! Whether it's a sore throat, a wound that won't heel, cracked or dry skin, or even a gash on the leg that needs a second skin... manuka honey is the answer.
Have a read for yourself:

Date: July 21, 2008
TO: Florida Gun Owners
FROM: Marion P. Hammer
USF Executive Director
NRA Past President
Dear Florida Gun Owner:
If you have, or plan to have, a Florida license to carry a concealed firearm, or if you ever carry a firearm in your private vehicle for self-defense or other lawful purposes, those rights are in grave danger.
Corporate giants in Florida have threatened to destroy your right to have a firearm in your personal vehicle when you park your private car or truck in a publicly accessible parking lot.
We are currently locked in a costly legal battle in federal court against the Chamber of Commerce and the Brady Campaign. They seek to overthrow the new law, HB-503, passed in April and signed by Governor Crist that protects your right to carry firearms in your private vehicle. This reckless action, brought by the Chamber of Commerce and other gun ban groups, is being funded by well-heeled anti-gun corporate giants.
In April 2008, with NRA's support, the Legislature stood up for your rights and passed legislation allowing you to keep a firearm locked in your private vehicle in publicly accessible parking lots. Governor Charlie Crist stood up for your rights and signed the legislation into law to protect us from corporate giants.
While many business owners, including Sea World and Busch Gardens, respect our constitutional right to keep and bear arms, the Florida Chamber of Commerce and the Florida Retail Federation are not speaking for them. The Florida Chamber and Retail Federation are speaking for The Walt Disney Corporation, Publix Supermarkets, Georgia Pacific and other corporate giants that are funding the assault on our constitutional rights.
In this legal challenge to defend our rights, NRA depends solely on your support. And we can't do it alone and won't succeed in protecting our rights unless you act today.
Your right to carry is meaningless if you cannot drive into a parking lot owned by a supermarket, theme park, or retail store or any other business that has a bias against firearms ownership and self-defense...and doesn't care about your safety when you are on your way to or from work or in the course of daily business.
This promises to be a long and expensive court battle. But the National Rifle Association is standing right along side the Attorney General of Florida to protect our rights no matter what it takes.
Please join us in this fight to save constitutional rights from big business -- using their mega-million-dollar budgets -- to crush freedom in Florida. Working together, we can fight back and win.
PLEASE send a contribution TODAY. No matter where you live, no matter what city, what county -- this is a fight that affects all of us. Right-to-carry laws are meaningless if corporate bullies are allowed to eliminate them in Florida by decree.
Send a contribution today. Click Here
Or use this link:
I'm counting on you to make a special contribution in the amount of $25, $50, $75 or any other amount you can afford to preserve our rights.
Thank you for your help and support.

Short cube vases filled with red roses and amber LED lights were placed in between the taller vases. The candlelight, hanging lanterns, and LEDs helped bring a warm, intimate feeling to the larger space.
The arrangements from the church were brought to the museum and placed around the room.
The place card table at the museum entrance featured two of the taller arrangements from the guest tables and a large vase with curly willow with hanging votives.
We are so happy to have been a part of this gorgeous event!
Thanks to all our staff who really hustled and gave their best-- just as they always do.

FARMINGTON — The man who Juan Contreras told investigators slipped him other drugs in a marijuana cigarette the night Grace Burton was murdered testified Wednesday that he did not lace the joint with anything.
James Benjamin Sweenhart, 39, of Wilton, was given federal and state immunity from prosecution for his testimony Wednesday.
He said he met Contreras at the Front Street Tavern the night last year Burton, 81, was stabbed 35 times as she slept in a recliner in her Farmington apartment.
Sweenhart, with long, bushy black hair and a black beard, said in court under oath that he grows marijuana indoors at his home and denied that he added synthetic hallucinogenic drugs, such as bath salts, to the marijuana.
"I'm not completely ignorant that it exists, it's just not part of my world," Sweenhart said.
Contreras told state police detectives he smoked the marijuana and later blacked out because it had been spiked with a mind-altering drug.
He has pleaded not guilty to murder.
Wednesday's session in Franklin County Superior Court was delayed nearly three hours as prosecutors met with Burton's family and friends and the defense met with Contreras' mother and stepfather in an apparent bid to plea bargain.
A deal did not materialize and the state called it's first witnesses of the day, Contreras' former wife, Amanda Pressy, and former father-in-law, Vern Pressey.
Vern Pressey, 47, now of Pittsfield, testified that he and his daughter became suspicious of Contreras after seeing a cut on his hand when they all lived together in June 2011 in Farmington .
Vern Pressey said as he heard more about Burton's death, he decided to confront his son-in-law.
"We wondered if he was telling us the truth about how he cut his hand. If it was true," Pressy told Justice Michaela Murphy in the jury-waived trial. "I went back to the apartment and straight out asked him if he killed Grace Burton."
Contreras said he cut his hand while whittling, a passtime he enjoyed, according to Pressy.
"He lied to me and said no," he said.
Amanda Pressey told the court that her husband was a heavy drinker, but never was known to black out or lose his memory and didn't appear any more intoxicated that night than on many other ones.
She said Contreras was drunk much of the time, but never hit her or was violent.
Contreras, 27, has acknowledged being inside Burton's apartment June 21, 2011, but has never described the attack or why it happened. Burton was stabbed from her scalp to her thigh.
Although seriously injured, Burton called police and described her attacker. She died later that morning at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston.
Police investigators said they have linked Contreras' DNA to a trail of blood from the rear window of Burton's apartment.
The defense team of David Sanders and Chris Berryment is trying to show that Contreras was given a drug that night and may have had a psychotic episode as a result.
"I didn't know what I was doing," Contreras told state police investigators in a recorded interview, which was played in Franklin County Superior Court on Tuesday.
Assistant Attorney General Deborah Cashman, one of two prosecutors in the case, told Murphy that Contreras concocted the story of being slipped a bady drug to use as a defense.
She said he intentionally killed Burton.
The trial is scheduled to continue today, but the opening could be delayed because of bad weather

Assistant RegistrarLoras College, Dubuque, IA
This listing has expired
Loras College was founded in 1839 by the Most Rev. Mathias Loras, first Bishop of Dubuque, who established St. Raphael Seminary to educate young men for the priesthood, but with the expressed intention also of providing an opportunity for higher education to the citizens of the area.

The College has an enrollment of approximately 1,600 students and employs over 375 faculty and staff members.

SCHUYLER FALLS - Once the warm, fuzzy feeling of the holidays has gone away, there's still much work to be done - at least when it comes to taking down those holiday decorations.
Aside from taking down the Christmas lights and the oversized inflatable lawn snowglobe, there's the annual tradition of taking down the Christmas tree. If you're someone who's opted for an artificial tree, the clean-up is as simple as breaking down the manmade marvel and storing it away until next winter. However, when it comes to real trees, you may sometimes find yourself asking where do they go from here?
Craig Squier, general manager of the Clinton County Landfill, said the facility is again accepting Christmas trees for recycling free of charge through Saturday, Jan. 30. The annual grace period, which traditionally begins the day after Christmas, waives the $5 fee charged by the landfill for accepting Christmas trees as brush, said Squier.
"Folks probably take their tree down at New Year's or shortly thereafter, but there are some stragglers," said Squier. "Some take it down and it lies on the side of the driveway or the garage and it continues to turn brown. I sometime see some brought in as late as the spring with spring cleaning."
The recycling program incentive, however, often brings in hundreds of trees by the close of the program, said Squier. And, it couldn't be simpler, he added.
"It's self-service; they drive up to the brush pile, untie it from the roof of their car or off the back of their utility trailer or pickup truck and drop it off," said Squier. "It will be very obvious where the brush pile is located."
Because they are run through a wood chipper in the spring, trees brought to the landfill brush pile must be free of lights, ornaments, tree-toppers, tinsel and tree stands, said Squier.
"Running into a chipper with any of those on them would do a number on the chipper blades," he said.
Squier also noted if a tree is brought to the landfill in any sort of binding or bag, it must be removed before the tree is left in the brush pile.
"I know a lot of times it's easier to handle that way if it's started shedding the needles off already," said Squier, "but once they arrive at the brush pile, the outer tree bag needs to be removed."
Squier added a trash receptacle is provided near the brush pile to discard bags and other bindings such as twine or rope.
Wreaths and centerpieces are also accepted, provided those dropping them off assure they are free of any metal or other artificial framework or decorations.
"The problem with most Christmas wreaths is they are mounted on either a homemade frame of metal coat hangers or the store-bought metal frames and quite honestly, most people aren't going to take the time to strip the wreaths off those metal frames," said Squier. "And, that would raise havoc on the chipper with the presence of that metal in there. If they are going to dispose of Christmas wreaths and whatnot, the metal must be removed."
The landfill, located at 286 Sand Road, is open Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Saturday from 7 a.m. to 12 p.m. Christmas trees may be dropped off during those hours only.
Those wishing to dispose of their trees may also check with the respective municipal departments of public works or highway departments as well as their private trash haulers to see if tree pick-up service is offered.

Review covered
In your March 18 edition, your writer, John Tarpley, wrote a nice article about the Valley of the Vapors Music Festival held last week here in Hot Springs. We look forward to this event and thank Bill Solledor and Shea Childs for the wonderful offerings of original music from around the world that the festival brings.
I have to wonder why Tarpley felt he must begin his article by describing the Hot Springs music scene as "hackneyed musical offerings of cover bands and worn out country singers." Why must he denigrate to elevate? I assume that by "worn out country singers" he means Willie Nelson, who recently appeared at the arena to a packed crowd. By "local cover bands" he means me.
I have made a living performing music in Hot Springs for almost 30 years. I play cover music because that's what the buyers want. People in bars and restaurants want to hear music that they know. Original music won't pay the bills in Hot Springs. Sorry, John, but that's the fact. Hot Springs musicians write some fantastic original music. Dean Agus, Dayton Waters, Larry Womack, Clay Franklin, Mike Stanley, David Ball, Lee Langdon, Bobby Rogers, Tommy Rock, me... we all write. We all try to slip in an original song or two every time we play. But it won't pay the bills. So we play cover music in bars. Kind of like you can't sell a novel that people will buy so you write filler for a weekly rag that pretends to be a newspaper. (See how that feels, John?)
On behalf of Hot Springs hackneyed cover bands and Willie Nelson, I'd like to invite John to kiss our collective ass.
I wish to thank President Obama and the Democrats for passing the health care bill. I don't know who the pollsters contact, but we silent majority know we have what we voted for. He is doing right by us in Washington.
Ross: pro and con
You remarked on-line that U.S. Rep. Mike Ross will ignore our opinions in his health legislation vote. I am losing respect for your publication. I support fair and impartial reporting from the press not irresponsible and immature name calling.
Negative campaigning on the part of candidates is bad enough, but when it comes from the press it is completely out of line.
Congressman Ross issued a statement that said he was voting against the bill as a result of the feedback he received from his constituents on a recent town hall tour. The people of the 4th District do not want this bill and Congressman Ross is doing the right thing — voting for the wishes of the people who sent him to Washington. Isn't that why we send our congressman to Washington? The Arkansas Times should respect any politician who stands for the wishes of the people, even if they are not your wishes.
In a contradiction for the ages, Congressman Mike Ross may very well go down as being one of the worst elected officials in Arkansas history, but one of the best politicians we've ever produced, right up there with Clinton and Huckabee.
Despite rubber stamping everything the Obama and Bush administrations ever wanted, Ross drew his "line in the sand" last Sunday with his vote on health care reform, loudly announcing in local papers that it was what his constituents wanted and that he "doesn't work for Nancy Pelosi."
How convenient for Mike to finally listen to his constituents on the eve of an election year in which the vast majority of incumbents look to be ousted.
Ross promised a "Pay as we go" resolution a year ago, a pledge he's continually ignored and broken. The final straw(s) for this voter were his votes to extend unemployment benefits again and to allow the debt ceiling to be raised.
He's a phony career politician whose time has come to be voted out of office.
Roy Fuchs
Quality control
Is it just me, or has anyone else run into quality problems with almost everything made in China? The straw that broke the camel's back happened this past week, when my Mr. Coffee died. He was a good guy and had been on my kitchen counter for several years.
I was gifted with a new Rival coffee maker, which was proudly labeled Made in China. Isn't everything? The Sunbeam company, of which Rival is a part, made me hope. I've had a Sunbeam percolator in use for 25 or 30 years. It came to my rescue when I could not remove the part that holds the basket for the coffee filter in my new coffee maker. I had to call in my son to get the thing out. The people who made the pot did not deburr the part that slides out. Two burrs were holding it in place. I worked in a plastics factory back in the olden days. We inspected and deburred parts or it was rejected.
I have also gotten bitten on an expensive heater, a phone and a clock. The list goes on. I may have to do without a lot of things, but if it says made in China, I won't order it.

The 1969 ford mach mustang is a favorite of both mustang fans and severe automobile collectors. The efficiency elements and unique design have assisted seal the mach mustangýs position in car history. Many vehicle programs will have at least one 1969 ford mach mustang on display that has actually been kept in prime condition. Even those 1969 ford mach mustang featured at vehicle shows that have not been kept in prime condition are sources of excellent affection and can motivate much envy in those who have never ever owned a mustang, not to mention a classic mustang.
Production of the Mustang began in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the automobile was presented to the public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. Original sales forecasts forecasted less than 100,000 devices for the first year. This mark was gone beyond in three months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold during the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were built.
Best Deals Online For Buying Ford Mustangs
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 designs, but several changes were made at the standard opening of the new model year (start August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the intro of generators to change generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu into 289 cu in. In the case of at least some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some uncommon quirks, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo underneath a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These characteristics made enough difference to necessitate classification of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a distinction that has actually endured with purists. Mustangs For Sale in Bernie MO are easy to find now with online shopping.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more stringent pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Huge 3 were needing to compete with imports. The brand-new Mustang II was smaller than the first variation but, due to the added devices required to meet brand-new US emission and security policies, was much heavier than the very first design. Efficiency was reduced and in the very first year just 385,993 cars were offered.
2nd generation Mustangs for sale in Bernie MO were available in between 1974 and 1978 and offered in a coupe and hatchback version. 1979 the Mustang was upgraded a third time. This time it was based on the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly large enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was bigger and so was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the Third generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 rate automobile and Ford constructed 10,478 commemorative reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982.

The state government of New Jersey is divided into three branches: the legislative, the executive, and the judicial. The principal function of the Legislative branch is to enact laws. The General Assembly is the lower house of the New Jersey Legislature. Legislators are elected from districts of substantially equal population.
Meet Tom Giaimo
Tom Giaimo is running for the New Jersey Assembly in Legislative District 13. A native of New Jersey, and a product of Middletown, New Jersey public schools, Tom attended Dickinson College where he graduated cum laude with a degree in political science before graduating from St. John's University School of Law.
In 1986, Tom established Giaimo & Associates, LLC which focuses on representing non-profit homeowner and condominium associations throughout the state, primarily those located in central New Jersey. For over 30 years, Tom has advocated for New Jersey homeowners at every level of government, including the federal, state, county and local governments and their various agencies and departments. He has guided and worked alongside of elected Boards of Trustees who are responsible for the administration, management, governance, and the day-to-day affairs of their constituent homeowners. He has listened carefully and assisted in resolving homeowner issues and concerns for his entire professional career. Now, it is time for Tom to bring his unique perspective and talent to Trenton.
Typically Tom prefers to work behind the scenes, engaging in constructive discourse only when the opportunity is presented. However, due to his concern for the direction of his country and state, he decided he could not idly stand by and do nothing. After consulting with his wife and children, Tom decided that he was at a point in his professional career and in his parenting responsibilities that he has the time, commitment, and wisdom to help lead New Jersey in a better direction.
Tom lives with his wife Christine (his high school sweetheart) in Locust, New Jersey. They have three adult children and welcomed their granddaughter, Sofia Blu, last year.
The Goal
To bring integrity, transparency, and accountability back to state politics. To repair a badly broken system, where the needs of the 13th district have been short-changed and forgotten. To restore the government's function to one where it is truly responsive to the needs of the people, and not of the party. Repair can only begin with change, and change requires that we elect new representatives from the district who have the ability and courage to effectuate those changes.
Property Taxes
Property Taxes are out of control in New Jersey, especially in Monmouth County. I will strive to lower property taxes by properly funding our schools, incentivizing shared services, while restoring rebates to low-income, seniors and disabled residents. Often times, homeowners are shocked to find that their property tax bill has become even more of a burden after improving their homes – despite it spurring the economy by creating work for small business construction and modification services. The legislature should immediately act to ban any increase on property taxes when a homeowner has made a home improvement. In addition to protecting our homeowners, the legislature should look for new, innovative ways to raise revenue and cut spending to achieve our most important obligation: property tax relief.
I will advocate for a state school finance system for pre-school through high school that is adequate, equitable, consistent and sustainable. Our schools must promote upstream learning measures and offer resources so that our students are prepared to meet the challenges of the 21st century. With Monmouth County ranked as the 2nd highest for youth suicide completions in the state of New Jersey, it is obvious that our children are ill-equipped to deal with the pressures that they encounter daily such as stress, anxiety, and depression. We must do better for our children.
Climate change is real and residents in New Jersey are seeing and feeling its impact. We need legislation in New Jersey that protects our important natural resources, open space, water, land, and air. Global warming negatively impacts New Jersey's public health and economy, as well as our homes and businesses. The Jersey Shore is still recovering from Hurricane Sandy five years later. We must implement flood control mitigation measures now so that we are more prepared for the future.

as I have done for my entire professional career,
work hard to earn your trust and make your voices heard in Trenton."

We're often going on (and on) about using social media to help market your website.
We've integrated the WebEden Website Builder with Facebook and Twitter. It's possible to put a Twitter feed on your website. Thanks to some handy tricks you can put a Facebook 'Like' button on your website. We've even developed our own Facebook application so you can build a website from within Facebook.
As opposed to Pay per click or other traditional marketing methods, its hard to put a value on your social media efforts. Social media for brands and websites is about engaging with your audience in an environment that suits them.
But now there's a handy little tool that attempts to do put a 'value' on your actual Facebook page.
SocialPageEvaluator tries to come up with a notional 'value' of your Facebook page by looking at factors such as the number of Fans; the frequency with which you update your page; the number of visits your fan page has; and the number of times your fans interact with your fan page content.
All you need to do is enter the URL of any Facebook page and SocialPageEvaluator does the rest.
So to test it out, how does it get on with the WebEden Facebok page?
Here goes… and the result?
Social Page Evaluator is saying that the current 'value' of the WebEden facebook page is $418, but with improved social media techniques it could reach a value of $3,132. Interestingly enough, it has come up with the advice that we're not posting enough to our Facebook Page.
It's important to remember that this is just one system's attempt to assess value, and is therefore more useful as a comparison tool to find out how you're doing against competitors.
Try it out and let us know how your Facebook Page gets on!

text: Dieting is often mentally and physically draining, especially when it lasts for more than a few weeks. After your willpower and excitement towards a new diet begins to fade, the cravings become harder to ignore. A cheat day will help you control those cravings and will make your diet more sustainable. On a cheat day you can allow yourself to eat what you want, but this isn't an opportunity to binge. On the contrary, it is meant to satisfy your cravings so that you don't binge later in the week! For some people cheating could be having a few squares of chocolate, while others might have a large dinner and small but satisfying dessert. Don't go completely out of control, but make sure that you are satisfied and ready to dive into the diet for the rest of the week. When the temptations of going out to eat or raiding the fridge late at night becomes too much to handle, you can always remind yourself that you have a designated day for eating what you want. Feel free to shift this day around - just make sure its only once a week. Some people like keeping their break day on a weekend, but if you need to kick start your week you can always choose what ever day works for you! Taking a break from your diet also means taking a break from the entire diet mindset. This mean no looking at scales, counting calories, or worrying about how long you spent at the gym. Relax! Tips for Your Cheat Day Plan ahead: Decide that you'll have a large pasta or that extra scoop of ice cream you've been thinking about all week. Knowing what you're going to eat ahead of time will keep you from temptations the rest of the day. Don't Get Comfortable: Just like skipping a day at the gym, it is very easy to slip into bad habits because you introduced your old lifestyle back into your diet. Keep your less healthy habits contained to the one cheat day. Be Honest: If you had trouble sticking to your diet plan all week and gave into your cravings, don't take a cheat day. A cheat day is meant to be a reward for your dedication. Skip the Guilt Trip: The hardest part of a diet is the guilt felt when you stray from the course. Remember that you have decided to make this day your break day. Enjoy your favorite foods without guilt! You earned it!

Did Globe University fire Dean Heidi Weber for poor performance or because she blew the whistle on its deceptive marketing practices? Heidi Weber sued Globe, a for-profit institution (profiled here by Minnesota Public Radio) in 2011, claiming that Globe fired her in retaliation for raising questions about compliance with accreditation standards in its medical assistant program. She alleged that they paid commissions to recruiters, inflated job statistics and failed to provide training opportunities promised to students.
This week, a Minnesota jury awarded the former dean of the medical assistant program almost $400,000 for lost wages and emotional distress. Globe alleges that they fired her for performance, but jurors seemed swayed by evidence of malfeasance, such as the school's failure to disclose that credits were not as transferable as they had represented and to tell students that promised externships were not available. They also seemed disturbed by the fact that the school had knowingly enrolled students with felony records, even though those students would not be able to get jobs in a field that requires background checks. Like the verdict last month against Vaderott, this verdict seems to tap into deep public disgust with the for-profit industry, fueled at least in part by high default rates on student loans at these schools.

I sure this has been asked a thousand times, I have a DS5000, and we have lost the Passwords, If I press Esc at the start of the boot up I get 3 Options
1) Start system.
2) Recover password.
3) Enter command shell
I have selected Option 3
I then ran the command
Still unable to factory default the unit
if I select Option 2 it asks for a password which I do not know, Is there away to Factory Default the unit, I know how to do it once logged in but I can't login as the deafult passwords don not work,
Any help or advice please
Easiest way is to merge your switch in a fabric with known passwords.
Once merged distibute the password db *(done from the switch you have access to) .
Command is distribute -p PWD which your switch will accept by default, if not someone adjusted the security policies and you can use options outlined in the doc.
Option 3 puts you on the bootloader env. But FOS isn't loaded at that moment.
But there is an option to start your switch in single user mode.
Once in SU mode you can reset every password you wish.
However to get in SU mode is a bit tricky.
If you're up for it, take look at this DOC http://community.brocade.com/docs/DOC-1644
Unfortunatly the formatting has been removed so references to pages are tricky as well.
Just read the part that applies to you carefully then decide whether or not you want to continue.
I've done this a couple of times now and succedded every time.
Hi and thanks for the reply
I followd the information, like you said it is a bit tricky, but it worked
many thanks

Whether you're at home or living or working abroad, the last thing you want to worry about is your health. You need the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your medical needs are protected and you have access to the appropriate treatment available, whenever and wherever you need it. Naturally, you want a comprehensive international health insurance plan, giving you and your family instant access to an expert team of people who understand your situation and treat you with respect and compassion every time you contact them. With this international health policy, this is made possible.
We understand that everybody has a different budget and requirements. That is why our International healthcare insurance plans has three levels of cover, as well as options for extra international assistance and a choice of deductibles.
Prime level – This level gives you all the health coverage you need for both in-patient and out-patient care. Gold also covers family doctor treatment and any prescription you may need, as well as accident-related dental treatment. Maternity cover (after 10 months of continuous membership), home nursing and a range of four preventive health checks are also included in this comprehensive plan.
Middle level -This is designated to cover you and your family for any specialist medical treatment or diagnosis. You will be covered for in-patient hospital stays as well as out-patient consultations, treatment such as physiotherapy and a range of preventive health checks. Drugs, dressing and GP (family doctor) consultations are not covered. Maternity cover is available after 10 months of continuous membership.
Essential Plan – This level concentrates on covering you for in-patient hospital stays. You have the security that you will be covered for treatment you may receive as an in-patient or day-care patient.

The next morning we slept in and made waffles and hot chocolate for breakfast! Yum!! Here are a couple pictures of our yard and the pups!
Trevor had to work for a bit, so I got on the elliptical and watched The Sound of Music since I couldn't watch it the night before.
Since it was a snow day we had to get out and play a bit. We thought about sledding, but we didn't have anything to sled on. So, we decided to get bundled up and take the dogs on a walk!!
I absolutely LOVE the snow!!!
That night was Trevor's work Christmas Party...so we got all dressed up and headed to the Jazz Depot downtown.
Such a fun day!!!
As of now, Trevor is off to Stillwater to go to the game and I will be watching it from the comfort of my couch!!

Variations on a Table: Jeffrey Inaba Uses Salvaged Materials to Redesign Dinner
In the Bay Area this weekend? Come along to Hayes Valley Farm between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm tomorrow (Sunday), to enjoy some organic Caffe Vita coffee and Theo chocolate, tour the farm, check out C-Lab's gorgeous table, and hear a few words from Ellen Gustafson. There's a Facebook invitation here, but no RSVP is necessary—Hayes Valley Farm is at 450 Laguna Street (at Fell), and all are welcome.
GOOD is proud to be a partner of the 30 Project: For more information about our goals and plans, see this introduction, "Have Dinner, Change the World" by 30 Project founder Ellen Gustafson, and "Tables to Change the World: An Interview with Michael Hebb."
All images provided by C-Lab and used with permission.
The Apollo 11 mission was so risky, Nixon had a speech ready in case the astronauts were left to die on the moon. "There are just too many things that can go wrong."
For anyone who's ever wondered if organic food is really better or just more expensive — check this out. This is sure to spark some debate.

Tech writer's tweet about Facebook's viral photo challenge is making some people nervous. Is there a conspiracy going on here?
To the people who don't give up on me because of my anxiety and depression. Asking for help doesn't mean you're weak. It means you've simply been strong for too long.
Last week, we talked with Michael Hebb about the importance of the table in Western culture—and its power to bring people together and inspire critical dialogue, open-ended inquiry, and action.
Michael Hebb might orchestrate the dinner experience, but architect Jeffrey Inaba and his team at C-Lab are designing and building the tables themselves. Ahead of the 30 Project launch dinner in San Francisco on Sunday, I asked Inaba for a sneak peek at the incredible multi-colored, lightweight reusable table they are fabricating out of donated materials.
He sent me renderings of the 30 Project Bay Area table (above)—no photos, because it's being built today!—and talked me through its unique design. Click through for more, including photos and drawings of the three other gorgeous tables in the series C-Lab is building with Michael Hebb, accompanied by Inaba's commentary on each.
Inaba told me, "We're calling the 30 Project table, 'Tablecloth.' The surface is really thin. It's made out of the planks from shipping pallets, woven together with scrap nylon rope, and so it can be rolled out onto trestles and used for an event and then rolled back up and stored really easily."
"We've designed the trestles so they can stack, too, so the idea is that the 30 Project can use the table for this launch dinner at Hayes Valley Farm on Sunday, and then the farm can continue using it for classroom visits and workshops and other community meals, but it won't take up valuable space to store."
"We're still trying to determine the color scheme. It depends on the color of the cord, and what paint we can get donated—the idea is that it will be this gorgeous multi-colored table cloth all made out of reused and donated materials."
The image above is a plan drawing of table that Inaba and C-Lab designed for an Architecture for Humanity event created by Michael Hebb at the Armory in New York, earlier this year. According to Inaba:
"This is part of a whole series of tables that we've been working on with Michael. With each of them, what we're trying to do is to re-use as much material as possible"
The same Architecture for Humanity table shown in axonometric view, to give you an idea of how it was constructed. Each of C-Lab's tables is a unique shape and built from different materials, which is partly due to each event's specific location, program, and seating requirements, and partly the result of using whatever previously used materials that the team can source.
A photo of the Architecture for Humanity table, constructed and ready for use. According to Inaba:
"With all of the tables, the thing that's been really interesting to us is, if using repurposed materials is a given, then what are the possibilities in terms of design? The proportions and qualities of the materials we find set the constraints for the design, and then we try to exploit them to their fullest extent."
"With this table, we used eighth-inch fiberboard reclaimed from a building site. An eighth of an inch is really, really thin—so then, design-wise, what we wanted to do was to accentuate that thinness with a curvilinear shape that showcased a razor edge."
In addition to the material choices that shape each design, C-Lab works closely with Michael Hebb to think about how the table's form will enhance the conviviality of the dining experience.
"Michael talks about the fact that gathering around one table is very different and much more meaningful than being distributed around several tables, which I always thought on a symbolic level made sense, but I'm now convinced it really is the case. When you are all at a single table, then the dynamics of the meal and the dynamics of the conversation are very different," Inaba told me.
"Of course, the overarching thing is that we really want these tables to be beautiful as design objects"
The image above is a plan drawing of table that Inaba and C-Lab designed for a recent DKNY dinner event created by Michael Hebb.
The same DKNY table shown in axonometric view.
As he talked me through the different tables, Inaba explained C-Lab's design approach:
"C-Lab is a research entity and its main purpose is to analyze things on an urban level and a cultural level. So when it comes to making tables, we start by applying those analytical skills to determine what are the particular challenges that are faced by designers who want to make beautiful, low- or no-cost tables from re-used materials using workshop facilities that are open to the community in this particular city or place. And then we make proposals along those lines."
The C-Lab team building the DKNY table.
"In New York, we've used workshops that function as co-ops, and so we limit ourselves to using the machinery that's available there. There's no laser cutting or other advanced fabrication equipment—and that gives us a framework in terms of what we can design. It's important that our design criteria are as much about the circumstances of construction and the materials as the final use."
"Our goal isn't to make the aesthetic seem like it's recycled or low-tech or whatever. On the contrary, the idea is to make the table as nice as we can, accepting the limits that are made by our commitment to use reclaimed materials and co-operative fabrication resources."
"The other thing is that is important is the transferable knowledge, which is why we make all these diagrams to share after the fact. We want it to be really clear how each table is put together and how you could make it yourself, but also, more importantly, how to analyze a situation and problem solve for its constraints with the goal of trying to create something that's well designed and a beautiful object."
The image above is a plan drawing of table that Inaba and C-Lab designed for an Grammy event created by Michael Hebb last month.
Inaba also described the table debrief process, and how C-Lab is using this series to learn about what works and what doesn't in terms of spacing, scale, and form.
"We definitely want each table to be enjoyed and for it to be comfortable, so we spend a lot of time debriefing which details actually work in terms of translating what we think looks really nice in our renderings into the actual field conditions of fabricating it."
"The great thing about doing a series is that we're really learning a lot from each table and applying it to the next ones. They vary from event to event—it's not intended to be variations on a theme, but rather that we learn things from previous tables and apply it to new circumstances to try to make something that's quite different."
The Grammy table under construction by members of the C-Lab team. In thinking about what's next for C-Lab's table series, Inaba told me:
"The next thing we want to address—it's just a matter of budget and access to resources—is how we can develop lighting that's integrated into the table. That will give us a whole new set of possibilities for ways the table can shape the larger environment around it."
"That idea is really important. In this case, the table happens to be the physical object that we're working with, but the thread running through all our designs is the idea of how you make a built element that conditions the space around it."
The Grammy table, assembled. Inaba and C-Lab will be working with Michael Hebb, GOOD, Architecture for Humanity, and other partners to create unique tables for each of the 29 more 30 Project launch dinners over the coming months—watch this space to see how the series evolves. Inaba's final note is a reflection on the power of collaborative projects to create fresh opportunities where otherwise none might have existed:
"The thing that has been particularly inspiring about the 30 Project collaboration is the idea that we can initiate ongoing design projects for organizations or collective efforts that we think for one reason or another are of interest to us. In that sense, our design process expands from problem solving for a given context into identifying opportunities for doing work. That's a model of practice that can hopefully be a benefit to other people, too."
