At DPR&Co we're thrilled with the close collaborative relationship we share with the Sportsbet internal creative team. All of the work below is the result of that collaboration.
TV 1 – Supermarket
Placing a multi-bet is a part of many blokes' weekend recreation. But since a multi incorporates different legs and sports, it's quite a complex bet to place. Sportsbet MultiBuilder changes all this. Now, everything you need is in one place.
TV 2 – Art Gallery
Blokes put a lot of consideration into their multi-bet. You might say there's an art to it.
Online Video – Supermarket
This OLV extends the comedy in the Supermarket TVC above, but with less overt sell and more insights for Sportsbet's highly engaged online audience.
DPR&Co creatives: Richard Ralphsmith, Mike Harris, Laurence Punshon, Chris Taylor
Sportsbet creative: Raman Goraya
Sportsbet assistant director: Dan Howe
Radio Ad – Pants
How do you make the "everything you need in the one place" idea work on radio? Like this.
Radio Ad – Beethoven
Like we said, there's an art to your multi. This is how it works on radio.
DPR&Co creative: Richard Ralphsmith
Sportsbet creatives: Raman Goraya, Hugh Brothers
TVC – Whiteboard
Punters love punters clubs. It's not so much about winning; it's about sharing your love of sport with your mates. But the thing is, punters clubs are a real pain to organise. That's where Sportsbet Punters Club comes in.
TVC – Organiser
Every group of mates has an organiser. He's that bloke you can count on to take care of everything. Almost everything.
DPR&Co creatives: Richard Ralphsmith, Mike Harris, Laurence Punshon, Chris Taylor
Sportsbet creative: Raman Goraya
Online Video – Interviews
In this OLV we push the "organiser" idea even further, with more granular insights. 280,000 views so far.
DPR&Co creatives: Richard Ralphsmith, Laurence Punshon, William Cooper
Sportsbet creative: Raman Goraya
Sportsbet production team: Daniel Howe, Simon Coughlan, Matt Peters, Wen Shi
Print and Radio
This full-page print ad (remember them?) in the Daily Telegraph sums up the sociability of Sportsbet Punters Club in four words. The radio spots show the fun of the idea even further.
DPR&Co creatives: Richard Ralphsmith, Laurence Punshon
Sportsbet creative: Raman Goraya
Selfie sticks are funny. They seem to sum up social fun and excitement. In this TVC we used one to highlight a new mobile feature from Sportsbet.

When it comes to winnings, cash is king, because you can shout your buddies in a big way – or a little way.
DPR&Co creatives: Richard Ralphsmith, Tony Banks
Sportsbet creatives: Raman Goraya and Duncan Le Cornu
In this radio campaign we imagine if everything were as fast as collecting your cash with Sportsbet Cash Card.

When we launched the Sportsbet mobile app, we had to deliver two simple messages: speed and ease. These TVCs focus on situations where a speedy, easy app would be absolutely essential for the everyday bloke.

DSWD on alert during 'Undas'
MANILA, Philippines, Nov. 1 — The Field Offices of the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) are on alert during the observance of 'Undas' or All Saints Day and All Souls Day on November 1 and 2, respectively, to assist families or individuals who may need assistance as they travel to their provinces to pay a visit to their departed loved ones.
"The observance of 'Undas' will increase the number of travellers to the provinces. In cases that there are people who get stranded along the way and may need food assistance, all our field offices are on standby to extend the necessary family food packs and other appropriate assistance," DSWD Secretary Judy Taguiwalo said.
Families or individuals needing assistance may go to the nearest DSWD Field Office. The field offices operate the Crisis Intervention Unit (CIU) 24/7.
The Central Office (CO), Field Offices (FOs) and National Resource Operations Center (NROC) have a total stockpile of family food packs and standby funds amounting to ₱799,496,188.82 that can readily be used in times of emergencies during the observance of 'Undas'. (Mindanao Post / DSWD)

- Care Instructions
Care Instructions
FRANKiE4 Footwear Care
FRANKiE4 prides itself on sourcing a wide variety of high quality leathers from around the globe to ensure that our footwear is stylish, functional and lasts the distance! There are a few simple steps which assist in maintaining upper aesthetics and longevity.
The amount of shoe care and shoe longevity should be reflective of the amount of wear they receive. If you live in your FRANKiE4's, that's great, and we're sure your soles are being saved, but if this is the case we do recommend buying a couple of pairs so you don't wear out one pair too quickly. A woman can NEVER have too many shoes!
Smooth Leather & Oily Nubucks
Prior to wear FRANKiE4 recommends waterproofing the footwear with Collonil Classic Waterstop. When waterproofing black shoes we recommend you select the Collonil Classic Waterstop in Black, for all other shoe colours use 'Neutral" coloured Waterstop. Continued use of waterproofer will maintain the best result.
For the treatment of scuffing and marking in black shoes, again FRANKiE4 recommends Collonil Classic Waterstop in Black. This not only covers scuffs and marks, but is a great colour rejuvenator so can be applied across the whole upper. To remove marks on all other coloured shoes we recommend Collonil Classic Clean & Care Foam with careful following of product instructions.
Patent Leather
Patent leather doesn't require waterproofing, however over time patent leather can dry and crack, to prevent this we recommend Collonil Lack Polish. This polish has been specially formulated to penetrate the surface of patent leathers to preserve the elasticity and prevent cracking. To remove marks we find the use of baby wipes is effective.
Metallic & Foil Leathers (Delicate Material)
Metallic Leather is a delicate material, it is created through bonding a metallic foil with the underlying leather.
FRANKiE4 recommends waterproofing with Collonil Vario Spray (designed for metallic leathers). We recommend applying this waterproof spray prior to wear to help avoid water based stains. Frequent treatment is recommended if shoes are worn often.
We love metallic leathers! BUT like all metallic finishes, with time and abrasion, some surface finishing may be lost. The simple fact is metallic leathers are not as durable as others. If the foiling is scratched or scuffed it will expose the leather underneath. While with most non-metallic smooth leathers these can be covered with a coloured polish there is no process we know of to re-foil shoes. Unfortunately if the shiny stuff is scuffed off...it's off for good.
The best maintenance is to be careful when wearing them!
Footbed Care
The Functional Footbeds are leather lined! With significant wear they will absorb moisture and may, for some, become smelly. We find baby wipes do the trick to clean and freshen them! We find wiping them down with baby wipes and allow to air in a shady place is very effective.
Sole Care
Some of our styles have soles made out of Polyurethane.
The features of this compound enable us to create a dual density sole that can be lightweight, offer stability and cushioning. It's an ideal material to give foot comfort and that is why it is our Podiatrist and Physio Designer's material of choice!
To have the benefits of a soft and stable material, the material does come with an expiry date. The sole will show the effects of deterioration over time, whether they are worn often or stored in a cupboard. Though Polyurethane wears well, it doesn't like being shut away in a box. It might sound obvious, but the fact is our shoes are designed to be worn.. So wear them and enjoy!
Cleaning White Coloured Soles
Styles that have a white coloured polyurethane sole can be prone to marking due to the soft porous nature of the compound and the simple fact that, being white, marks will show.
We find a damp Chux Magic Eraser or a normal school eraser does the trick to clean off scuffs on the sole. Alcohol wipes are good for the more stubborn marks on soles. Be mindful not to wipe the leather as it may mark it or remove its colour.
Trims & Embellishments
Certain styles have fragile finishes. Despite the expertise of our craftsmanship, these may come off with wear. Spare trims may be provided, so please get in touch if you have any trouble. However prevention is best, so please handle any decorative trims with care and love.
Store shoes in a dry, ventilated place to let the leather breathe. To dry; avoid direct sunlight or direct heat sources.
Here at FRANKiE4, we do recommend Collonil products. For information and advice on their products please call them on 1300 780 971 (within Australia).
Remember to always follow the instructions on the product and spot test prior to use.
If you have any other questions regarding the care of your new FRANKiE4's please email us on firstname.lastname@example.com. We're here to help!

Basics aren't all bad. In fact, when it comes to your clothing, basics should make up 60-70% of your closet, and the rest should be "trendy" and unique pieces that you switch out every few seasons.
You will find that the more basics you invest in, the easier it will be to get dressed every day! These pieces mix and match with just about everything. They are the core of your closet and your go-to items.
I like to go through my closet at the beginning of each season and figure out what I need to replace or update. Basics do change a bit every season. For instance, this year distressed denim is a must, and we are seeing the return of the high rise, flare leg. The classic button down shirt is more oversized and longer in length than in past seasons.
Here is my short list of must-have basics for Spring
Shirts/Blouses: Sleeveless or short sleeve solids for layering, Longer Button Downs
Sweaters: Lightweight Spring Cardigans for transitional months (Feb-May)
Outerwear: Spring Suede or Leather, Classic Trench
Denim: Distressed and High Rise Flare
Skirts: Classic Midi A-Line Skirt
Olive Green Pant: I get a new pair every season, because they go with everything. They are a must in any woman's closet!

The Holy and wondrous Belt (Zoni) of the Theotokos, one of the only treasures of the Theotokos to have survived to our days, and treasured by the Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos, will soon make one of its rare trips outside of the Holy Mountain. On Saturday October 24th, 2015, the Belt of the Theotokos will be taken by Elder Ephraim, Abbot of Vatopedi, to the Church of the Dormition of the Theotokos in Vasiliko, Chalkida (the largest city on the island of Evia, and about 1 hr. north of Athens), where it will remain until Sunday October 25th. Then, it will be taken to the Church of St. Demetrios (the Metropolis Church of Chalkida), where it will remain until Wednesday October 28th, when it will depart again for the Holy Mountain. The source site notes that during this time, both churches will be open 24 hrs. to accommodate all the pilgrims, and there will be served daily Divine Liturgies, Paraklesis to the Theotokos every 2 hrs., and a vigil every evening. See the source site for more details of the pilgrimage.
This is a great and rare blessing for the people of Greece, especially for women, children, and others who cannot visit the Monastery of Vatopedi themselves. Many miracles occur through the Theotokos, especially helping couples that have difficulty having children. Please pass this on to any friends or family and take advantage of this great gift.

Almost £1m granted for Diss town roads
Residents and workers in Diss have welcomed plans to improve two notorious traffic bottlenecks on the outskirts of town.
Norfolk County Council has allocated £650,000 to help ease problems at the junction between the A1066 at Victoria Road and Vinces Road.
A further £250,000 has been put aside for a proposed link between Station Road and Nelson Road.
But the boss of the country's largest veterinary practice, CVS (UK) Ltd, based in Owen Road, has urged businesses and residents to keep the pressure on to make sure the work begins as soon as possible.
CVS, which employes 170 people at its headquarters, is one of several business in the area to join forces to campaign for a solution.
"The authorities have been pretty poor over the matter of the road congestion," said chief executive Simon Innes.
"I feel not only for our staff caught up in the continuing traffic problems to and from work, but residents living nearby, and also those trying to get into town.
"The authorities have not invested in Diss, as they have for instance in other towns such as Stowmarket, and it is almost as if Diss has been forgotten.
"Everyone is pleased about the announcement but we must keep up the pressure from all sides."
CVS, which has 450 clinics around the country, is one of several business to join a campaign started by the Midwich Group.
It can take staff up to 40 minutes each evening to travel less than half a mile in 800-metre tailbacks.
The continuing congestion problems led to speculation that Midwich may leave the town.

Another State of the Union
"The state of our nation is far from healthy, and will never be so long as I am your leader. Therefore I call upon the American people to show its strength by immediately arresting me for war crimes, for crimes against humanity, for trampling on the constitution, for stealing elections, for spying on otherwise law abiding citizens. I ask for your forgiveness. Please take me to a place where I cannot harm anyone. Pump me full of tranquilizers. Keep me in a padded cell. Or maybe in a nice open prison where I can ride my mountain bike without harming anyone. In my defense, let me just say that it's congenital. My father is an idiot. So is the rest of my family. For the benefit of humanity, do not let me or any member of my family hold public office. I ask for your help in my hour of need. The state of the union depends upon it."
A far more sane view of America than that of our leader can be found in the selected prose and poems of Don West, No Lonesome Road (edited by Jeff Biggers and George Brosi, University of Illinois). West was a poet-activist from the Appalachians, who grew up dirt poor, but never lost his progressive vision of the American south, and the Southern Mountains in particulaer. As well as a poet, he was a preacher, union organizer and founder of the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, instrumental in training civil rights workers. Pictured on the cover is West atop his Indian Chief motorcycle, which he used to help him escape on various occasions from the KKK. Though I didn't know it at the time, West was also the father of folk singer Hedy West, who must have been one of the first musicians I ever saw who played traditional music and frailed the banjo in the old time style. Don West published a number of volumes of poetry, much of which, along with a selection of his prose, is published here. Hedy, by the way, died not so long ago. While West's poetry is somewhat dated, it is still very moving and can be compared favourably with the work of his friend, Langston Hughes. No Lonesome Road makes for a wonderful antidote to the real State of the Union, and is a testement to what America might have been, and could still possibly be.

No updates for the past while because I've been up to my tonsils with work. Not that I'm complaining. One of the "joys" of having your own business is the fact that you never know what's round the corner. My business is just over three years old now, and a lot of that 3 years was spent cold-calling prospective clients, which was neither pleasant nor productive for me. Since Christmas I have done no cold-calls, and customers are beating a path to my door. I'm not sure why this is the case but I watched "The Secret" a while back and read "The Science of Getting Rich" so I'm putting it down to that.
Anyhow, I did get time last week to browse through PC Live, (Great value for just €3), and came across this article. According to a University of Maryland study, a PC connected to the internet will on average be attacked every 39 seconds.
The study also profiled brute force attacks and found the most common methods of guessing passwords. The most common was to re-enter the username or a variation of it, (eg user: admin, pwd: admin123). Other common password guesses were 'password', 'passwd', 'test', '123', 1234′, '12345', '123456' and '1'.
Nothing too surpirsing I suppose in the guesses, but the frequency of the attacks was interesting. It also proves again the need for effective passwords, and we've discussed before. Make it long, mix letters, numbers and special characters, and change it on a regular basis.

1. Did everyone have a nice Fourth? Swimming? Barbecues? Explosives? I know I had all of the above. Now that we've reached peak summer, what else do you have planned? Friday night in Bangor, take your pick from the following. There's the second Downtown Bangor Art Walk Friday night, set for 5 to 8 p.m., there's divisive Canadian rockers Nickelback at the Darling's Waterfront Pavilion, it's the final weekend of The Full Monty at the Penobscot Theatre, and at sundown, there's the first film of this year's River City Cinema outdoor movie series, with Roger Corman's B-movie classic "Attack of the Crab Monsters" set for sundown in Pickering Square. Later in the evening, Between Dead Stations is at Paddy Murphy's, and the Bill Barnes Jazz Trio is at Nocturnem Drafthaus. On Saturday, take your pick, musically speaking from either the Calypso Soldiers at Paddy's, Dave Mello at Nocturnem, Orange Blossom Special at the Downunder Club at Seasons, or Fifth Freedom at the Sea Dog.
2. It's also art walk night in Portland, as well as the first-ever Portland Maine Comedy Festival, with stand up comedy all weekend at Empire. Also on Friday night, there's a benefit for K9s on the Front Line featuring the Substitutes, there's a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Lilith Fair, with songwriters Ronda Dale, Sharon Goldman, Lara Herscovitch and Lisa Redfern at One Longfellow, there's reggae legend Ziggy Marley at Aura, and there's country singer Billy Currington on the Maine State Pier. On Saturday night, a plethora of local bands will play a fundraiser at Bayside Bowl for local nonprofit Hope Acts, featuring SeepeopleS, Five of the Eyes, Pretty Sad, Akela Moon, Sea Level, Joel Thetford and Clara Junken. Elsewhere, 311 is at the Maine State Pier, the Space Gallery hosts a record release show for the new album from acclaimed Portland indie rockers Tall Horse, with guests Purse, $300 and Ossalot; Raekwon, Stann Smith and Ill by Instinct are at Port City, there's a comedy cabaret show at Portland House of Music, and Celtic group Cadence at One Longfellow. On Sunday, the witty comedian John Hodgman and Jean Grae do a show at Port City Music Hall.
3. On the Midcoast, on Friday night, songwriter Matthew Frantz is at Rock City Coffee in Rockland, while on Saturday, Thresher's Brewing in Searsmont celebrates its one year anniversary starting at noon, with beer, food and music from Vicky Andres and Upland Drive. There's also songwriter Simon Quist at Rock City Coffee, and country singers Mike Preston and Kim Curry are at Trackside Station, both in Rockland. On Sunday, in Belfast, there's the grand opening celebration for The Crosby Center, the new performing arts space, with an array of musical and theatrical performances starting at 2 p.m.
4. Two of the most Maine things you can imagine are set for this weekend in southern and western Maine. Down East Magazine hosts its first-ever Lobster Roll Festival, set for noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at Thompson's Point in Portland, with lots of live music, kid's activities and, of course, plenty of lobster rolls with all the fixings. In Lisbon Falls, the annual Moxie Festival — a celebration of that odd-tasting, totally Maine soft drink — is set for Friday through Sunday, with all sorts of fun, family-friendly events like fireworks on Friday night, a parade and road race Saturday morning, tons of great food and music, and even a Moxie-chugging contest. For a full schedule, visit moxiefestival.com.
5. What else is good? How about the annual Arts in the Park festival in Belfast, with lots of Maine artists and artisans selling their goods on the Waterfront, during the day on both Saturday and Sunday? Or, how about the annual Scottish Tattoo, set for 5:30 p.m. at Fort Knox State Park in Prospect (kilts, bagpipes, pageantry!)? Or how about those always fun Stonington Lobster Boat races, starting at 10 a.m. Sunday? It's a rip-roaring good time. Man, I love summer.

The Changing Marketplace
Story Utilities
Chris Holter, who runs Nasdaq trading at First Union Securities, is enthusiastic about Nasdaq's planned platform change giving market makers automatic execution on trades up to 9,900 shares.
"SuperSOES is going to be faster and more efficient," Holter said. "It will create a true marketplace."
Holter said SuperSOES sends a signal: Don't be there unless you mean to sell and be there for what you want to sell. "The days of these shadow markets that aren't real and don't have any depth are numbered. You're either going to sell stock or you're going to get out of the way," he said.
Dominate Stocks
Holter said the new platform is a major advantage for firms like First Union that want to dominate and own stocks. "We're in stocks we want to buy and sell. The fact that you have easier access to us...I see that as a positive," he said. Holter believes traders will have to show greater size, something that many do not like to do. "You've got to show greater size and you've got to have a reserve book in there," Holter said. "If you want to stay at [a certain] price and you want to hold that price, you've got to show at least 1,000 shares and you must have size behind it."
Holter believes the switch to automatic, and away from negotiated, executions will force market makers with 1X1 quotes at the NBBO - that is, 100 shares on the bid and the offering sides - to show more shares if they hope to buy or sell more than the current mandatory minimum 100 shares.
On the super montage side of the platform changes, he was similarly enthusiastic. "I think the super montage is great. All of the liquidity [trading desks] are running against prop accounts [their own books] will be visible to the Street," Holter said.
Most Nasdaq firms sweep their own books and internalize most of their order flow, he added, noting that the Street never gets to see it. Holter believes the plans to show three levels of orders will add a lot of liquidity to the market. He argued that this should take some of the volatility out of the marketplace.
"The less volatile the stocks are, the more the portfolio managers will be willing to be a part of that market," Holter said. "Right now the market is so retail driven that it's tough for a portfolio manager to establish a good sized position. It's hard for him to get in. It's hard for him to get out."
Decimal Switch
First Union's trading bosses have some trepidation, however, about the switch to decimal stock pricing. If spreads narrow, First Union sees itself eventually moving to single price trading on Nasdaq.
Stocks that are easier to trade and are supported by more market makers will only earn First Union's desk a penny a share, predicted Mike Murphy, head of First Union's equity
trading unit.
"We'll cross 100,000 [shares] in and out at $35 a share," Holter explained. "It doesn't matter how the stock is quoted at that point. Investors will pay us for the value-added. If we can add value on the research, the bank and trading, we'll get our 5 cents [sales credit]. If we're not adding value we'll get a penny or we'll get nothing."
Holter said there would be stock trades where value is added by the desk and other stocks where it is not. "Over time this market will become very efficient," he said. "Those who have been skimming the cream off the top are going to find the cream has gone away."

I arrived in the end of August, just prior to the presidential election.
The former president died in June 2009. He was in power for 42 years. His son, Ali Bongo, was favored to succeed him (and he did). There were several opposition parties, although a visitor would not notice because there were posters for Ali Bongo everywhere (i.e. every lampost on the blvd) and I only saw one billboard for an opponent.
There was a heavy military presence on the streets. I suppose there is always a heavy military presence on the streets. People were stocking up at the markets for fear of protests and businesses closing. Prior to the actual election, teams of supporters from different parties (those who can afford it) walk the neighborhoods and literally buy votes. The #'s I've heard are anywhere between $5000 - $20,000 CFA ($10-$40). This is all done quietly, but appears to be the standard "way of working". What's amazing to me is that citizens honor their promise. Wouldn't you just say yes to everyone and collect the buyout. I suppose they are afraid of being tracked by their vote buyer.
Total Control of Communication
The existing government, supporting Ali Bongo during the election, control all of the media here. There are a few independent weekly newspapers, but they don't have large coverage and it appears they are constantly hassled by the authorities. Obviously, the owned media spend their time supporting their benefactors and dismissing any opponents.
Cell phones are ubiquitous and text is the local email, because you can send the same message to everyone in your address book. During elections, the government shut down text capabilities; I suppose to dissuade protest organizers. They also closed the airports and shut down the internet…that's power!
In the End
In general, compared to other countries in the region, it was a seemingly peaceful process. There was a riot in Port Gentil. The government said 3 people were killed in a clash with protesters, the opposition says 15. After the election, the opposition got together and disputed the outcome, bringing it to the constitutional courts. There was a recount and Ali was confirmed President of Gabon with 42% of the vote. If the 2 major opposition parties had gotten together earlier, they may have actually won the election, representing 52% of the vote.
There was obviously favoritism and corruption, but that is the way of life across the entire continent. In the end, Ali Bongo is the President and all of those 'vote for me' posters where exchanged with 'thank you' posters…an interesting touch. He already seems to be making positive changes and attempting to cut some of the corruption, we'll keep our fingers crossed for the Gabonese.

The Office of Research Core Administration supports research core facilities in the School of Medicine which were established to make research more efficient and cost effective. The core facilities allow the presence of specialized instruments and personnel that individual laboratories cannot afford. Personnel in the cores provide expertise on the capabilities of their instruments and services and develop new applications for their techniques. The cores provide training and support for user operated instruments.
Services include:
- centralized budget system for all cores
- centralized billing system using iLab
- tracking of users and volume of use
- promotion of collaboration by cores
- annual user surveys
- business manager and fiscal technician to support cores and assist researchers
- support for applications for new instruments
- publicizing cores through Facebook and handbook
This administrative structure allows the combined research cores to have status similar to a department and staff have their appointments listed as in ORCA. Faculty in research cores belong to other academic departments.

text: I was shaving this morning and --- the razor seemed blunt. When I thought back, I realised that I had only put a new one in only three days ago. And I only have a relatively light growth - shave once a day. And then I back-tracked some more and it seemed that I was replacing blades on pretty much a 3 or 4 day cycle. The razor I use is a Gilette SensorExcel, two-blade. Some time ago I had been trying to screw some more life out of my razors and ended up putting them in an ultra-sonic bath to really shake off all of the gunk that seems to accumulate. Sort of worked, but then I thought life was too short to have anxieties about razor blades and moved on. So. So how often does everone else have to change blades, and does the manufacturer make any difference? And if you were up for a subsidiary question (mostly for the males, I suppose), would you rather have to shave at least once every day, or swap places with a woman and have a period only once a month?

I'm in love with your style, Katie! Your illustrations always look fun. The expressions in your characters look so natural. Browsing through your portfolio definitely took most of my time today. Hahaha! Thanks for sharing them! I hope to see more soon. :)

In the "Adventures of Ulysses" by Bernard Evslin the main character Odysseus goes through a series of exciting and dangerous trials during his trip back to Ithaca after the Trojan War. In this story Odysseus is portrayed as an epic hero. This can be seen through the fact that he is essentially noble, performs amazing tasks and feats and overcome weakness and temptations most would not be able to endure.
Odysseus is essentially noble and this is a component of most epic heroes. This quality is first seen in the beginning of the book; Odysseus is the king of Ithaca and is noble in blood. But Odysseus is not only noble through blood, his actions are often noble. He is very noble when he speaks to the Cyclops, tricking him into drinking his wine which led to him killing the Cyclops. Throughout the book Odysseus nobly stands up for his beliefs.
Like when he is on Thrinacia, his men constantly try to convince him to let them kill the cattle of the sun-titan Hyperion. He heeds the warning of Teiresias even when his men were on the brink of starvation, the respect he shows for Teiresias is noble because it is a highly moral thing to do. Telling his two most trusted men to "kill any man who goes near those fatal cattle."(97). Also another indication of his nobility can be seen when his ships are passing the Sirens. He plugs all the sailors' ears but his so he can use his hearing to keep the crew safe (141). Being noble is an essential of every epic hero and Odysseus definitely is, not only in blood but also in how he acts.
During the course of the book Odysseus performs amazing tasks and feats, something every epic hero...

(listen here - Karen Carpenter had the best voice...)
Gingham, lace and roses - Pretty x 3!
The three finished bags plus a craft tote for my friend Helen in Wales whose old one had fallen apart - so that was good timing!!
I dragged Julia to Salisbury last week - I needed some more fusible fleece for the make up bags and Fabricland exerted its magic spell on me...oh yes, it did. I don't remember picking up these things..it's like it was all a dream... ;-)
Fleece for quilt backing, 3 gorgeous spotty polycottons that are useful for linings, some daisy laces, longer zips for more craft bags, iron-on interfacing (firm!!) and rigilene. I'm not planning on using it for corsetry - nope, I'm going to make some desk tidies and this will go around the top of the bin part.
And guess what? There wasn't any fusible fleece so I'll have to go back...snigger....
Spotty dotty daisy happiness - have your eyes gone funny looking at this??
And finally, the friend whom I made the owl crafty tote for had great difficulty prising it away from her small daughter ('MY bag, Mummy....!!) so I made little Chloe one of her very own to carry 'important stuff' around in. After all, a girl can never have too many bags, eh??
Start off as you mean to go on, that's what I say :-D
Have a great week!

Valid question.
Our vision for the hands on component of this club has evolved over time from our original conception of partnership with a community garden, to the current plan to add cold frames to Jennifer Berg's plot in Washington Square Village. We have not given up on the community garden concept: it is important to the goals of our club that we work with people outside the NYU community as well as NYU students. However, right now we are focusing on the most practical, albiet temporary, option — cold frames!
We have proposed the addition of six cold frames to the Washington Square Village site. Some of you joined us weeding the existing cold frames there, and so are aware of the possibility for pretty incredible yields even in these small spaces.
Why cold frames? Working in the garden the other day, I was asked this same question by a resident of Washington Square Village who has a lot of experience with gardening and farming, and is on the board of Greenmarket. She pointed out that typically cold frames are for extending the growing season, not use as containers for the entire growing cycle. However, this woman also shared the understandable concerns of WSV residents that their lawn remain a tidy and quiet spot. We propose to use cold frames because it is the most likely option to get approved — the WSN board would not approve any more drastic alteration of the lawn. Cold frames are very temporary, but will provide us with a location to begin planting and build our club.
What is the time frame? We are waiting on approval of this proposal. We had hoped to plant some late fall/winter crops but are beginning to think that the approval of the board rests on our continued cooperation with their decisions, and we don't want to begin using the space in a rogue way before we are legitimate. Cross your fingers they approve us soon!
What are the community garden options? We are in contact with GreenThumb to find a community garden that would welcome the involvement of the NYU community. It is not our intention to force anything upon an existing community, but rather seek to partner to better understand the existing urban agriculture structures in the city. If anyone has any ideas about good gardens to work with, please e-mail us: email@example.com.
For now, we are offering regular trips to East NY Farms! in an attempt to integrate our efforts with community agriculture in the larger community. Come with us, taste the hot sauce at the farmers market, volunteer working with their compost or mulching, and meet some really motivated high school students — we only hope to be as dedicated and confident as they are. E-mail us for more information on this Saturday's trip.
I hope this gives you a clearer idea of where we stand garden-wise. The advances we have made on this front have been slow — but they are happening, and we will plant this spring for sure! Look forward to a big kick-off of the gardening part of the club in February at the latest, with a seed starter event combined with a big urban agriculture session outlining the vision for NYU.
All the best,

The Frosted Scroll Solar-Powered Lantern
There are a great deal of solar lights that go down with the plants and make your garden look that much better. Well instead of sprucing up your plants, you can add a little mood lighting to your deck or porch. This could even be used indoors, you'd just have to make sure it stays close to a window to get the full charge it needs to run. It's not your usual solar lamp that you find in someone's garden, which is exactly what makes it so appealing.
In order for this to cast the pretty scroll design onto your tabletop, it'll need to soak up the sun through the solar panel located on the top. After it has reached a full charge though, it'll give you light for up to 8 hours. You don't have to let it stay on all the time either like a lot of other solar lights. This one comes with an on/off switch, so that you can choose when to use up that charge. You can purchase the lights individually for £24.99 or about $39.

Italian Language School Centro Culturale Conero
a Camerano: 31 recensioni
Free time at the Italian language school
Camerano is close to some of the most beautiful beaches of the Adriatic coast and is right next to the spectacular Monte Conero Natural Park. It is an ideal location for people that love sun, sea and sand but also want to immerse themselves in nature. The
Italian Language school
organises weekly trips and excursions to some of the most striking and renowned places of the region. Here
in Le Marche
, the climate is usually very mild all year round, thanks to the closeness to the sea which prevents it from being too cold or too hot.
Those who like to keep in contact with nature will have the opportunity to join trekking or biking guided tours to the Monte Conero Natural Park. Most of
's Adriatic coastline is flat, but Monte Conero, just south of Ancona, is a rare exception. It has impressive limestone cliffs that plunge into the sea and a number of idyllic and secluded beaches and bays ideal for sunbathing, swimming and snorkelling.
Excursions can be organized to Monti Sibillini Natural Park, in the heart of the Appennine mountain range. This mountain range hosts Monte Vettore (2,476 mts.), one of the highest peaks on the Italian mainland; its wild tarns and windswept high plains provide a breathtaking landscape.
The Frasassi caves are some of the most spectacular caves you are ever likely to visit. So far, some 13km of limestone caverns have been explored and it is estimated that they may run for up to 35km. Equipped with walkways and theatrical lighting, the caves include the awesome Grotta Grande del Vento, Europe's largest single cavern. It is so vast that Milan Cathedral would comfortably fit inside and hosts some of the most extravagantly fanciful stalagmites and stalactites you are ever likely to see.
Those who love Italian art and culture will be able to visit the Romanesque churches, the picturesque castles and medieval villages which make our region so unique. Art lovers should not miss the opportunity to visit Urbino's Palazzo Ducale, the ancient residence of the Dukes of Montefeltro, a renowned Renaissance monument which now hosts
Le Marche
's National Gallery. Le Marche's important monuments include the famous Loreto Sanctuary, San Leo Fortress (where Count Cagliostro was imprisoned), Gradara Castle and many others. During the summer, there are also a number of historical and medieval festivals that take place in many of the local towns and villages.
From May to September, our 165 km coastline is a paradise for all watersports enthusiasts and for those who cannot do without the traditional "made-in-Italy" sun tan. Located only 6 km away from Camerano is Portonovo, a bay of acclaimed beauty, characterized by the quaint Romanesque Church of Santa Maria (built in the eleventh century), an old watch tower and a Napoleonic fort. Portonovo is a beautiful seaside resort which is very popular among local people and renowned for windsurfing. The beach is part of a natural park, and its charm has been preserved intact.
South of Portonovo and below the steep cliffs of Mount Conero, you can admire the beautiful "Two Sisters' beach". It took its name from two large twin rocks rising from the transparent water. This stunning beach can only be reached by boat or through difficult paths that descend steeply from the top of Mount Conero but is well worth a visit!
Sirolo and Numana are the two pearls of the Conero Riviera. They are situated within a couple of kilometres of each other but each has its own charm. Sirolo is smaller and more intimate, offering stupendous views of the coast and of Monte Conero, while Numana with its long, wide beaches, its bars and discos is the ideal place for those who love sunshine and nightlife.
The local cuisine is heavily influenced by the sea and by farming traditions. Here it's the home cook and not the professional chef who rules, and even the smartest restaurants tend to offer dishes derived from our grandmothers' recipes. A generous portion of "Vincisgrassi" (a traditional rich baked lasagna without the usual tomato sauce), a shellfish risotto, brodetto (fish stew made with 13 different types of fish), spaghetti dressed with clams and accompanied by wines like Verdicchio, Bianchello, Rosso Conero or Lacrima di Morro d'Alba will satisfy even the most demanding gourmets. If you are here in the summer or early autumn, you may have the opportunity to attend a local sagra - a festival dedicated to a town's particular speciality where you can try and buy the local food (truffle, fish, wild boar, gnocchi, etc.) served in a dozen different ways.

Beautiful Scene For Stunning Landscapes Of Human Body
Involved in beautiful images, there are so amazing and beautiful scene and sound like related to the environmental awareness raising started from Africa to all of the world in conjunction with environment degradation. In fact, this scene was done by artist John Poppleton who combined his love of painting and understanding of photography to create stunning landscapes that have been flamed under black light. Nevertheless, the cynosure done by him was not the painting itself and this was really unusual canvas he painted on, that is, he painted on human body. In short, this may be a campaign to all people around the world that they should start to reflect environment around themselves.
With all of scenery images, this might be called Poppleton's Bodyscapes that are to show as featured mesmerizing scenes being been right from summary African savannas to electric lighting storms. Accordingly, this was so attractive on soft curves of the human form. The wonderful images typically span out from the model's back being branched out on the arms, legs, neck and even the head. Besides, he frequently applied female models, yet some of his paintings were created on men too. Lastly, this may be devoted from the human body to environment preservation via art show and campaign introduction. More reading

The Future of Church Planting?
A Review of
Church Planting
in Post-Christian Soil:
Theology and Practice
Christopher James
Hardcover: Oxford UP, 2017
Buy Now: [ Amazon ] [ Kindle ]
Reviewed by Justin Cober-Lake
The dominant storyline says the church is decline in the global West. The "nones" are ascendant as the church loses its relevance. Then the story splits. The younger generation has no use for tradition; no, the younger generation seeks authenticity and needs a historically oriented liturgy. The church has become too inward-looking; the church has become too seeker sensitive. The church has become or not become a lot of things. It's a bit of a mess, really.

Discussion in 'Economy' started by Adam's Apple, Jun 28, 2005.
I hope now people will stop buying SUVs and start buying free evergy efficent cars. I think the government should give tax credits to transit riders in big cities.
cool--free energy efficient cars!-------I'd even buy one if they could price em right!
there was an interesting show on one of the cable channels (Times/Discovery I believe) that looked at these cars and they determined that a family cannot save enough using one of these cars to justify their use. Furthermore, since most Americans drive on the highways, the cars will not contribute all that much to a better environment because the hybrids run on gas once you get above a certain speed. They also covered how the cars are not useful in many of the places they are needed most - where we have the worst air pollution. In places like Denver, the elevation works against the hybrids, in Las Vegas, the low humidity is murder on batteries and therefore, the batteries in the hybrids would have to be replaced often and in SoCal, the terrain is hard on the vehicles (a lot of driving up and down hills) and the highways are so vast and congested that you might run out of power trying to get from point "A" to point "B" while sitting in traffic. And, as mentioned, when traffic is running smoothly, the cars would be running on gas anyway due to the speeds at which EVERYBODY travels in SoCal.
The cars are all hype. My wife and I looked at buying the new Lexus Hybrid, but the salesman whispered, "don't tell my boss, but they aren't worth the price and the hassle. They spend way too much time in the shop."
I read a while back that we have used up 50% of the world's crude oil. Thank you, I will die before we run out of it. We have at least 75 more years of crude oil in the Alberta tar sands. But I think we have to move to other sources of energy, like solar and wind. But in reality this is unlikely because the companies don't want to spend the money to develop the technology and the government's "no getting involved in business" policy.
First off, in the early 70's we were all told we would run out of oil and most natural resources by the year 2000. Didn't happen.
Secondly, if you think business will not develop alternative sources of energy eventually, you are listening to much to your liberal friends and the liberal media. Business is business and when it becomes 1) economically viable and 2) an economic necessity to survive, alternate sources will be developed and will come into use. Do you really think business will sit by and just use oil until there is nothing and then say, okay, we're done. We will now close our businesses.... Nope, not likely. Have faith and believe in our system. It hasn't let us down yet and it is not likely to start letting us down now just because the liberals hope so.
Businesses only care for short term profits and screw the end result. They will try to change at the last minute.
And they will succeed or they will fail which will mean they will miss their short term profits. Get it? Or is that too hard to grasp?
Have you ever dealt with technology companies? I have and I do a lot. You would be surprised how much money is spent on R&D to achieve "short term profits". You crack me up.
Excellent points, free. I've been told by mechanics that hybrids are a nightmare (read expen$ive) to fix.
Tax credits for riding a bus? Yuk. Yuk.
People already have the choice to use busses instead of driving expensive vehilces they pay for, for which they pay various and expensive taxes and fees on them, for which they pay expensive upkeep, for which they pay expensive parking fees, etc., etc. And you think they'll give up all *that* for a little bitty tax credit?

As Landscape Shifts, New Jersey LGBT Leader Heading Home To Run Oklahoma Group
After marriage equality and a "conversion therapy" ban in New Jersey, Troy Stevenson is leaving Garden State Equality to run The Equality Network, Oklahoma's statewide LGBT group.
WASHINGTON — In a sign of the rapidly changing landscape for LGBT rights, the head of New Jersey's LGBT group is heading home to run a similar group in the state of Oklahoma.
In an email to be sent to supporters Wednesday morning, Garden State Equality's Troy Stevenson writes, "On Sunday, January 26, I will be stepping down as executive director of Garden State Equality to take over as the executive director of The Equality Network in my home state of Oklahoma."
In a statement provided to BuzzFeed, Stevenson explained the move, announced a day after a federal judge in Oklahoma struck down the state's amendment banning same-sex couples from marrying.
"Leading Garden State Equality has been the highlight of my career. I have come to love my adopted state of New Jersey almost as much as my home state of Oklahoma, and say goodbye with a heavy heart. But I feel the time has come for me to return home and fight for my fellow Oklahoman's just as I have for New Jersey. I have the upmost confidence in the GSE team, and know that I could not be leaving the organization in better hands," he said.
Regarding the timing, he added, "This move has been long planned, but yesterday's court decision, overturning the marriage ban in Oklahoma, has left me overjoyed at the opportunity to help bring about the same kind of change, in Oklahoma, that GSE has brought to New Jersey."
John Mikytuck, currently the managing director at Garden State Equality, will serve as the group's interim executive director.
Stevenson had been the managing director of Garden State Equality before taking on the role of executive director in January 2013.
Among the advances sought by Garden State Equality during that time were legislative passage of the Sexual Orientation Change Efforts Ban (so-called conversion therapy), which Gov. Chris Christie signed in to law, as well as the passage by the legislature of a bill that would have made it easier for transgender people to change the gender markers on their birth certificates, which Christie vetoed this week. Garden State Equality was also a key part of both legislative and legal efforts to advance, and eventually secure, marriage equality in New Jersey.
As executive director of The Equality Network, Stevenson said his focus will be leading the public education campaign in response to Tuesday's marriage ruling, as well as working to bring employment protections, safe schools legislation and transgender protections to Oklahoma.

The play Hamlet, written by William Shakespeare, takes place in Denmark. The bulk of the play takes place within Elsinore Castle, seat of the King of Denmark, and follows the story of Hamlet, prince of Denmark. Only four scenes take place outside the castle walls.
In the first two scenes and last two scenes of Act 1, the action of the play takes place at Elsinore Castle, however in the third scene the action shifts to the house of Lord Chamberlain Polonius. The second act begins once again the house of Polonius, however the second and final scene of the act takes place within Elsinore Castle.
The entirety of Act 3 takes place within the castle, with the final scene taking place within the queen's apartment. The fourth act begins in the castle, but during the fourth scene, the action shifts to a plain in Denmark where the prince of Norway, Fortinbras, is marching with his forces. The final three scenes of the fourth act once again takes place in the castle.
The fifth and final act of the play is split into two scenes. The first scene takes place in a churchyard, and the second scene takes place in the castle.

The long view for ring spinners
Ring spinning machines are getting longer. And that's a trend that is noticeable in some markets, where ringframes run to as many as 2,000 spindles – or about 70 meters in length. Even with good human eyesight capable of reaching 5,000 meters, it's still not possible to have a total overview of end-breaks along the full extent of the frame. Only an automated system can monitor if the spindles are all operating correctly....more

One of the classic studies from Evolutionary Psychology, one that gets mentioned in all the textbooks and is known to all students of the field, perfectly illustrates a line from the Rosanne Cash song Seven Year Ache: Heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full.
It's best known as the "Burger King study." The researcher, John Marshall Townsend, an anthropology professor at Syracuse University, dressed the same man in two different ways. One was a Burger King uniform, and the other was a white shirt with nice tie and watch and a navy blazer. He had women look a photo of the man and evaluate to what extent they would: like to have coffee with him, date him, have 'uncommitted sex' with him (a favorite question of EP), have a serious involvement with him, have a serious sexual relationship, and marry him (another favorite EP question). Unsurprisingly, women across the board rated the nicely dressed man higher.
Perhaps a better song and line to pair with it is ZZ Top's Sharp Dressed Man: Every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed man.
The real question then becomes why? Why do women prefer a sharp-dressed man. Ah, sure, women want a good provider. But why? The answer depends on who you ask. Ask an evolutionary psychologist and they'll tell you it's because ancestral women who chose men to mate with who showed signs of status and wealth left more offspring than women who were indifferent to wealth. Ask a member of the "Flat Earth Society," what some evolutionary psychologists call women's studies departments, and they'll say it's because women learn to prefer wealthy men because that's what our culture values. I say it's what our culture values for a good reason: Those values helped us thrive as a species.
The need for women to prefer wealthy men has a lot, I think, to do with the ecological conditions women have customarily faced, namely, lower status. Another significant one is having babies that are metabolically costly and also incredibly difficult to care for, compared to other species. Human babies are basically born before they should be. They come out of the womb much less developed and far more dependent on mom than other primate babies, including other great apes, who also have very dependent babies. Human babies require significantly more care and that is made a lot easier with the help of another parent who can provide food, shelter and protection. The higher status the helper, the better fed the baby and the more likely to survive. That's how the theory goes.
There are some feminist evolutionary psychologists who doubt whether that helper actually was a male sexual partner. The other helper (or helpers most likely) could have been a mother, grandmother or other females raising babies cooperatively.

How to be smart
Much of our media looks down on smart people. They like to produce stories on beautiful and famous people with problems. Sometimes it almost seems to be unpopular to be smart. Such an attitude will not fare you well in the real world. Cultivating your intelligence, not just faking it, is one of the most important things you can do to ensure your happiness and financial success in life.
- Set goals once a week. Do the important things first. This helps because you might need to do a important project and you decide to go and play football instead. And the night before the project is due you are rushing around and may not even finish. Your teacher will be able to tell 2 things, you've rushed it and you haven't put any effort into it.
- Work on your vocabulary. Read good books, try to use a few definitions from the dictionary each day, or subscribe to a "word-of-the-day" service on-line. You can also take the vocabulary tests in Readers Digest or buy a book on increasing your working vocabulary. Read the dictionary one letter at a time. This will take you a year at least but you will grow intellectually.
- Further your education. Keep in mind an education isn't the junk you are forced to do in school for diplomas and degrees; it's an understanding of the world around you. People who are naturally curious for some reason begin to stop asking questions the moment they hit school. The truly brilliant mind however, always questions their world and tries to make sense of it. That is the secret to "genius". Do not let the relentless orders and busywork of school called an "education" fool you. Schools are one potential resource if you enjoy the environment but by no means are they necessary for brilliance and by no means are they the best way. For more information learn about Unschooling. Note the significant contributions Unschoolers have made.
- Watch the news and talk about recent things that have happened around the world. Try to watch (or, more preferably, read) the news everyday for the rest of your life. Also analyze it for the media does occasionally sell propaganda.
- Cultivate an interest in subjects like current events, interesting facts, funny and inspiring quotations, good books and movies, scientific studies and interesting inventions. Educational television is a great way to learn. Check out PBS or History channel. People who have something to talk about other than their own internal problems and worries appear far more interesting and intelligent.
- Read good books. They will make you both appear and be smarter. Reading really is fun and your mind will grow. Keep your reading diverse by reading books of all genres including non-fiction. Make sure the books are interesting to you. As you read more you will soon learn that, just like movies, some books are better than others. Keep searching out the ones you think are good. If not sure what to read... ask a teacher or go to the library. Get a library card.
- Be organized. Begin each day by planning. Get a notebook or small digital planner to write down your daily homework assignments and write down the due dates for tests and papers. Get a weekly planner with your class schedule and plan your activities. Get a monthly calender to write down birthdays and big events. Write down what classes you have, when to do homework and what your homework is, dates, when you are hanging out with friends etc. all in your planner.
- Learn to listen carefully to others' opinions about controversial things, or things they know about and you do not. You do not have to agree with them but remember everybody has something to teach you. Keep an open mind. The more intelligent you are the more questions you will ask of your friends, teachers and parents. It is great for social conversations too but don't do it in class.
- Be nice to people. Care about the well being of others. Sometimes people don't realize if another person is hurting or sad. Look at their faces and in their eyes when you talk to them. There will always be bullies. They may call you names: a nerd, a freak, a geek, or use a racial or homophobic slur, but in this case they really will only be jealous and petty. Being nice to all people is also a sign of maturity, class and intelligence. Keep it up and people will notice. You will start to feel very good inside. Sometimes a good tactic is to go along with their mockery and laugh at yourself. Stand up for people who are getting bullied even if you might start getting bullied. Never insult anyone, gossip or hurt someone physically. Don't make offensive jokes.If someone is abusive to you, you can ignore them or go to adults for advice on how to deal with them. Be respectful to yourself, friends, parents and teachers.
- Be friends with smart people who do all of the above. It will boost your self-esteem, confidence, make you less likely to be teased, prevent depression, help you study harder, make your life happier and otherwise enrich your life. You can also make studying fun with your friends.
- Exercise your mind. Learn how to solve the Rubik's cube. It is easier than it appears if you learn tricks in visualizing the cube's geometry. Also do word and math puzzles-such as Sudoku. This will make you at least twice as smart!
- Learn how to do mental sums or speed math. There are all sorts of tricks for doing complicated math in your head that will amaze others. Plus it can potentially increase working memory.
- Visit new places as much as you can. If possible, try to visit other countries too. Visiting cities in your country or in a different one, gives you a open mind and teaches you about the world we live in. You will be able to understand other cultures(how people live in a different place, how they behave with each other, how they live and so on). You will also be able to understand that the planet earth is huge and there are so much to see and do. You will be fascinated on how there are so many different people and culture in the world. That will make you smart and interesting.
- Visualize. Smart people use the visual sense. They observe a lot. That's a much better way of taking in and representing information than verbally (for example, in words,) or in sound, smell, touch, etc.
- Deconstruct complex situations. That will enable you to understand each part of the system better. And it will give you a better understanding of the whole.
- Act smart. If you act like you're smart then you can convince people that you are actually smart. This will in turn make you believe that you really are smart. Just believe in yourself and pretend to be smart. After some time you will begin to gain confidence that you really are smart.
- Remember, smart people don't necessarily talk a lot. If you do say something, make it witty. Never brag about what you know, like how the universe was created. Always be willing to help if someone asks.
- If you need help in getting organized, ask an adult or a teacher.
- If someone asks you a question that you don't know the answer to, be honest and tell them you do not know. Find out what the answer is from someone.
- If your parents are not educated it does not mean they are stupid, maybe they just did not have the chance. Try to improve yourself but not make fun if they are ignorant.
- Don't let other people's rude comments get to you. They're just ignorant if they feel they need to insult you in order to feel better about themselves. Never obsess about what other people think of you. It is a waste of time and may increase your stress.
- Try to find a role model- someone who is very intelligent - and observe them. But still know who you are.
- Take the time to study.
- Beware that drugs and alcohol can lower your intelligence. Exercise and eating soy help the brain to grow big. Eat lots of soy. Except, for females, soy has isoflavones which can naturally escalate your estrogen levels-limit to a small bowl a day of soybeans and/or a glass of soy milk. Too much soy is not good-it will alter your hormone levels!
- Take your time and learn to communicate well.
- Don't be jealous about other people's life and know that we are all the same and we are all different...we are all humans, but we are all unique. Be happy with what you got in your life. It is the smartest, and best, thing you can possibly do.
- There is more than one "type" of smart. There are booksmarts, streetsmarts, and so many others out there. No one is technically "stupid" or "dumb" it is just that everyone is smarter at something than someone else!
- Learn to work with people. Sure it's great to be right most of the time using your intelligence, but you also need to learn to work with other people. Don't expect them to understand everything you can understand. Make things simple or obvious for them, but not too obvious so that you sound like you're mocking them. Don't command them. Ask questions that will help spur their thinking. And find reasons that they can related to for accepting an idea or solution, etc.
- Know the difference between being smart and knowledegable. If you are smart, mentally, your mind works very well and is sharp. For an example, you have a great memory or you learn quickly. If you are knowledgeable, you are well-educated, and you know a lot. Are you both or just one?
[edit] Warnings
- Don't become a know-it-all or do-it-all. It is obnoxious! It is better to be subtle, not obvious.
- Try very hard to enjoy working with others on projects. It says a lot about you if you are successful. Other people have valuable ideas too. Listen to what others have to say.
- Treat others as they like to be treated"
- Be a Good, Clean, and well presented person.*
- Don't reveal your weakness to your office friends
- Try not to lie, it makes your life easy and good.

So did it happen or not? I'm confused.
So did it happen or not? I'm confused.
If I try to add my requested Username to my friend list it says that the user does not exist. If I try to change my name to the same Username it says that it already exists.
Add to that that all old guildies that haven't logged in since a year still have their name in the guildlist me thinks this is not working at all.
and of course it is not being addressed here in OFFICIAL discussion and questions...
Our current focus is to ensure live servers remain available for play. Thanks for your support.
is this thing really happening? why are you guys cannot fulfill things that already promised? i want to change my char name as soon as possible
It appears you can't change your name to 3 letters or fewer, even if the name is available. This has resulted in my friend losing his old name, even though it was acceptable for his character to be created with said name. Please remove this restriction, I've seen several people with 2 and 3 letter names running around.
Elapsam semel occasionem non ipse potest Iuppiter reprehendere.

Any status about that? It's been a week past the deadline and the issue has been completely ignored.

The name release needs to be done during a maintenance patch, which will likely happen next week. We didn't set a date for the actual release, just a deadline for logging in to keep your name. It takes a big chunk of time and tech to collect the names to be released. We tried to have it ready this week, but weren't able to finish in time. We'll make an announcement before we do the release.
I hope it happens soon. I've been sitting on credits specifically purchased for this. And it's gettting harder to refrain from spending it the longer I wait.
