Heaven's drive/soul strike
Posted 30 March 2014 - 08:31 AM
From what I read, soul strike is a neutral attack so it does normal damage to all monsters except those immune to it, I'm just trying to look for info on HD to know more about the damage, whether it will auto cast quagmire (with lvl 0 quagmire), does decent damage in ferry (for later on farming) and is comparable with SG/LoV

Posted 30 March 2014 - 03:21 PM
Mobileragnarok's info about Heaven's Drive:
Active, Cast an area-effective Earth spell around you. While the skill is in effect, all the enemies in its range receive damage per 0.5 seconds (7 hits at level 10) and have a 10% chance of casting Level 1 Quagmire on themselves.
Level ATK-Bonus Duration Cast-Time-(sec) Mana-Cost After-Cast-Delay
01 0% 1.5 1 75 5
02 10% 1.5 1 80 5
03 10% 2 1 85 5
04 20% 2 1 90 5
05 20% 2.5 1 95 5
06 30% 2.5 1 100 5
07 30% 3 1 105 5
08 40% 3 1 110 5
09 40% 3.5 1 115 5
10 50% 3.5 1 120 5
Active, Slow the enemy's Movement Speed, and inflict Poison damage equal to 25% MATK once every 1.5 seconds (4 hits at lvl 1). Cast instantly.
Level Duration Success-Chance Cast-Time-(sec) Mana-Cost After-Cast-Delay
01 6 45% 0.5 14 4
I'm too lazy to do the calculation so I'mma leave that to someone else lol.

SS is really really slow. And it lacks the 50% boost the other bolts get. Not to mention bonus to certain elementals.
HD damage is ok, awesome against wind mobs. You could try it during wind abyss, might be noticeable there. But anywhere else I think the damage will be a lot less compared to using the more common aoe. I haven't done many tests though so I could be wrong. But if you take HD then your farming/grinding at skels/ferry and dulla will hurt imo. It has a nice reach, but for bosses MS + bolt1 + bolt2 + bolt3, then repeat is the highest single target dps I believe.
Lvl 1 quagmire is kind of weak too, if it was lvl 10 quagmire that would be massive damage. ^^
Anyways free to try it out. I reseted a few times testing different things and this is just my opinion.
Posted 22 April 2014 - 11:36 PM
n bout SS, for player that only do da TESTING purpose...it unworthy....yup,it does hv long cast time than 4 bolt,but...thats y SS equip with napalm,that would stop ur opponent (3 sec appoximately). n SS hv da ability to knockoff ur opponent away from wiz,enabling wiz to cast napalm again.....but...it all of that seems useless against charge...so its all up to u to build ur wiz.
as for me...wiz need more firepower than vit...as wiz hv 2 layer of protection, da absolute physical dmg wall n sp reduction wall that proved useful if u kill da for solo...
my wiz hv 2k+ hp only but i can do my valder gc solo providin time isnt da main factor luring 3 mob at once..casting wall n MS (considering MS will kill in 1 cast)

Recommended Externally-Produced Podcasts
Here are some podcasts, by topic, I recommend considering for your classes or even checking out for your own use. I provide links to the sites but nearly all of these can also be found on iTunes. The topics are linked below with subtopics in each:
Writing || Tech & Design || Rhetoric || Informatve || Other
- Technical Writing/Communication:
These may be good for technical writing or technical communication students or classes.
- Business Writing with UpWrite Press: Tips and advice for workplace writing. This may have podfaded*, but the old espidodes could be helpful.
- I'd Rather be Writing/Tech Writer Voices: A podcast "about the latest trends in technical communication. I interview tech writing luminaries around the world as well as record STC presentations and other audio content" (from website).
- Musing of a Tech Writer: A more personal look at life politics, movies & tech
- Society of Technical Communicators East Bay Chapter Podcast (Northern CA) : Podcasts of featured chapter meeting speakers.
- The Public Speaker: Quick and dirty tips for improving your communication skills.
- Writing Issues:
These may be good podcasts to require your students to listen to a few episodes or even require subscription for the semester.
- Grammar Girl: Grammar information in a fun and easy form. A favorite.
- I Should Be Writing: A "podcast by a wanna-be writer for wanna-be writers. Let my stack of rejection letters and battle scars benefit you" (from website). This is for fiction/science fiction writers, but some advice may be helpful to student writers.
- Podictionary: A "word of the day" podcast where Charles Hodgson goes into the background for the word, often including interesting stories.
[Back to Top]
Tech & Design
- Design, Usability, and User Experience
These may be good for design and technical communication students or classes. I use these in classes where we focus on web design, document design, and/or usability issues.
- Design Critique: Products for People: "Encouraging usable products for a better customer experience."
- Screen Space: A podcast about web, blog, and new media design for the everyday and non-expert user. This is my podcast.
- SOUND IN THE MACHINE: "a podcast for technological sound." Focuses on sound issues. Done by a past student of mine: Brian Snead.
- UIE Brain Sparks: User interface engineering with Jared Spool (was SpoolCast).
- UXpod: "Designing for Humans"; user experience podcast.
- Web Axe: Practical web design accessibility tips.
- Social Media:
Since social media is such a new and quickly evolving area, podcasts can provide kairotic information. I enjoy using examples of social media when I teach social media, and use some of these podcasts as texts in graduate and undergraduate classes.
- Diary of a Shameless Self-Promoter: "Zen marketing for all self-promoters, from the timid to the fearless." This covers a lot on social media and networking.
- The Digital Marketer: Quick and dirty tips for growing your business with digital tools. Has ended, but the episodes are still good.
- "Making of a Podcast" Virgin Worlds #70: This is a great podcast on how to do podcasts. I require this episode as "reading" for all my classes that do podcasts. Normally the podcast is about gaming.
- Mind Share/Social Media Marketing Strategies: The psychology of social media: "Learn how to leverage human psychology and social media technology to become world famous… build social presence, get attention, and sell more" (iTunes). These are quick, interesting podcasts. So far there are only a few.
- SitePoint: "News opinion, and fresh thinking for web developers and designers. The official podcast of sitepoint.com" (from website).
- Social Media Podcast:
"The latest news and forthright opinion on what's happening in social
media, covering topics like Twitter, blogs, social networks and
podcasts. Featuring interviews, opinion and rants from some of the
leading names in social media" (from website). The podcaster is
from the UK and you may like the accent or not.
- Technology:
These podcasts may be good for technology-intensive classes, as semester subscriptions or single episode "readings." They also may provide good examples for critique and analysis. Tech podcasts show up in some of the other categories I have included.
- Inside Mac Radio: News and updates from the Mac community
- TEDtalks: From the TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference, these audio or video podcasts (most are available in both formats) include some of the world's "most fascinating people: Trusted voices and convention-breaking mavericks, icons, and geniuses" (iTunes). These are good examples and work well for critiques and analysis.
- This week in Tech: Latest trends in tech (Leo Laporte). "Winner of 'Best Video Podcast'" in the 2009 People's Choice Podcast Awards" (their website).
[Back to Top]
- Critical Thinking/Skeptics:
I often recommend critical thinking and skeptic podcasts for my rhetoric students. The podcasts are good for rhetorical analysis.
- Skepticality: The official biweekly podcast of The Skeptics Society's Skeptic magazine. "Our podcast is here to bring you relevant, under reported current events, as well as in-depth discussions from a scientific, critical, skeptical, and humorous point of view."
- The Skeptic Zone: "The Podcast from Australia for Science and Reason" (from website).
- Token Skeptic
A "weekly look at superstition, paranormal belief and the science
behind it all. The podcast covers a range of ideas and issues, stemming
from psychology, philosophy and ethics, science, critical thinking,
literacy and education. I really enjoy doing interviews!" (from website).
- Politics & Opinion:
These podcasts can make great readings, whether individual episodes or a semester subscription, in rhetoric classes. These can also make good texts for rhetorical critique and analysis. These would also work in classes that focus on speeches and oral presentations. Many have a political focus that fits well with classes or projects that focus on politics.
- Common Sense with Dan Carlin: Carlin is, according to the iTunes listing, one of the "leading thinkers among today's politically independent crowd." Also called non-partisan, fiscally conservative, and socially liberal, this may be a good choice for those looking for something neither left nor right.
- Democracy Now: Highly rated on iTunes and seems to do a good job at looking at a variety of angles. Noted as a good "independent" politics podcast. This is a radio show converted to podcast.
- Free Talk Live: Rated highly on iTunes. Calls itself "talk radio that ANYONE can take control of." Students in my 2008 Senior Seminar recommended this podcast to other students for their political podcast subscription.
- Great Speeches in History: This podcast also focuses on what are considered great speeches and often includes the actual speeches by the speaker.
- KCRW: Left, Right & Center: Rated fairly highly on iTunes and seems to do well including left and right points of views. This is a radio show converted to podcast.
- My history can beat up your politics: According to the iTunes blurb, this podcast discusses politics in the context of history. This is a fairly neutral political podcast. May also be good for those looking for something neither left nor right.
- Presidential Archives Uncovered: This series includes clips from the archives including conversations, speeches, and more.
- Rhetoric Nation: Reviews on iTunes say this is a "ranty" and opinionated podcast where listeners either will agree 100% or disagree 100%. The blurb says the goal is to "leave the listener informed and confused by the state of things big/small and everything in between."
- Slate's Political Gabfest: Rated highly on iTunes. The three hosts, from Slate magazine, discuss politics. This was the podcast I subscribed to in my 2008 Senior Seminar where I required a political podcast subscription.
- Say it Plain: Great African American Oratory: This podcast focuses on the great speeches of African American orators. I've had many students select speeches from this podcast for rhetorical analysis.
- The Speeches of President John F. Kennedy: The title is descriptive and the speeches are recordings of the actual speeches given by Kennedy. The podcast is produced by the John F. Kennedy library.
- Truth Seekers: Its blurb states, "The search for truth about politics, global affairs, sex, money, religion, gender & sexuality issues..in audio form!"
[Back to Top]
- Educational:
Educational podcasters have information and knowledge they want to share. These podcasters can be college professors, experts in their field, or "everyday people." Educational podcasts can be good supplements to class texts or good examples to critique and analyze or they may be used to inspire other educational podcasts. Many educational podcasts fit into other categories too, and many other podcasts on this page could fit into this category. I selected a few that are great examples, but outside our traditional writing, media, and rhetoric categories.
- Astronomy cast (a very popular podcast): "Astronomy Cast takes a fact-based journey through the cosmos as it offers listeners weekly discussions on astronomical topics ranging from planets to cosmology" (from website).
- Get-It-Done Guy: This is a time management podcast with quick and dirty tips to work less and do more.
- JapanesePod101.com: The "Fastest, Easiest, and Most Fun Way" to learn Japanese (from website).
- Jordanian Arabic Language Lessons: "A series of Arabic language lessons designed for Peace Corps Volunteers and students gives listeners the basics of the language. Peace Corps' Coverdell World Wise Schools provides free educational materials based on the Peace Corps Volunteer experience" (from website).
- Money Girl: Quick and dirty tips for a richer life.
- Legal Lad: Quick and dirty tips for a more lawful life.
- Mr. Manners: Quick and dirty tips for a more polite life.
- Nutrition Diva: Quick and dirty tips for eating well and feeling fabulous.
- The Math Dude: Quick and dirty tips to make math easier.
- Talking Traffic: "Traffic, Transportation, and Mobility Issues for the Everyday Person" (from website). Good information on how traffic and transportation work. [Disclaimer: This is my husband's podcast.]
- Instructions, How-Tos, and Tutorials:
These may be good for technical writing or technical communication students or classes or any class where writing to instruct is important.
- Building the Pod: A podcast on understanding Adobe Audition.
- Learn Excel from MrExcel Video Podcast: Learn Excel from Bill Jelen with this daily 2 minute video podcast.
- Rookie Designer: "Tips & techniques to secure and keep a design job" (from website).
- The InDesigner: (video) InDesign advice and help for designers.
- Tips from the Top Floor: Digital photography tips.
- Interviews:
Good in classes where interviews, whether podcast or not, are a component. These can also be used as examples for analysis and genre studies. If students could do an interview podcast for a project (or are required to), these may be good texts and examples.
- By Women. For Women: "These podcasts feature interviews with current Seal Press authors and the topics range from childbirth options to dealing with the death of a parent, from the issues facing transgender women today to training for a marathon" (from website).
- CreativeXpert Design Interviews: A "podcast series featuring interviews with web designers & other creative peeps" (from website).
- Dragon Page: Cover to Cover: "Conversations with the creators of the best in science fiction and fantasy. If you love SF literature, are an author or aspire to become one, you'll enjoy this podcast" (from website).
- 5 Minutes with Wichita: "Humorous Interviews with Bluegrass Stars and stuff" (from website). This series seems to have stopped but the short, quick interviews are funny and shows good interview techniques.
- Small World: Bazooka Joe interviews everyday people. This series also shows good interview techniques.
[Back to Top]
Other Interesting Podcasts
- Storytelling—science fiction, novels, and other forms:
- Escape Pod: A Sci-Fi short story podcast magazine. Very popular. [Disclaimer: I was a reader for one of these, with the (now) past editor, Stephen Eley. If you are interested the story is EP169: How I Mounted Goldie, Saved My Partner Lori, and Sniffed Out The People's Justice. It is rated R, so if that bothers you feel free to go with another podcast or other Escape Pod episodes (most are G or PG).
- Pseudopod: A short story horror podcast.
- Podcastle: A fantasy short story podcast.
- Infected: This is one of many podcast novels by Scott Sigler. The book is also in print form. The novel is in the horror genre, and language in the novel and site is not appropriate for all ages. Sigler was the first to podcast a novel, and has done so successfully, becoming a New York Times best seller from the audience he gathered podcasting and the resulting book contracts. This or one of his other novels may be good for classes where students analyze genre, remediation, the evolution of media, or writing for publication. Find out more and about his other podcast novels on Sigler's site.
- 12 Byzantine Rulers: "This history lecture podcast covers the little known Byzantine Empire through the study of twelve of its greatest rulers" (from website). This is a good example of a complete series and shows how even things that could seem boring can be made interesting.

So I talk to the talented Edward Juan at Jared Mees & the Grown Children show this last week and he gave me some very interesting news. He's been in talks with Jared to direct and produce a music video for the band. Edward and a couple of his co-workers at Laika ( Coroline) will begin production as soon as May. The conception drawings are awesome and the premise just blew my mind. I am super excited about this project and with any luck I'll be able to contribute some of my own talents. You can kept update on the project here
and I for sure will be chronicling the process on this blog.

Product Name: Cold Air Intake
Manufacturer: Sinister Diesel
Before we put our name on any part we manufacture, it has to beat the competition in 5 ways: Strength; Performance; Simplicity; Durability; and Fit. The Sinister 6.7 cold air intake meets all those requirements, and more.
STRENGTH: Sure, we could build our intake out of plastic like everyone else, but aluminum is stronger. For example, aluminum won't crack like plastic. Plus, unlike plastic, aluminum holds up to the wide temperature extremes common in every engine compartment.
PERFORMANCE: All the bends in our aluminum tubes are CNC mandrel bent and engineered for maximum air flow. Plus, our cold air intakes go all the way from the filter to the turbo, feeding your engine the cold air it needs. As everyone knows, better airflow means better performance.
DURABILITY: Rubber couplers may meet industry standards, but they don't meet ours. We use superior silicone couplers because they are best at providing years of reliable performance while resisting your engine's temperature extremes.
FIT: Your components are only as good as their fitment. Sinister cold air intakes are designed, engineered and fabricated in-house. That means we control the manufacturing process from concept to prototype to testing to production. The result is the lowest tolerances for fitment variability combined with the highest levels of quality control.
SIMPLICITY: The best ideas are simple ones. We believe the same is true of parts, especially when it comes to installation. Our air intakes install in just a few hours, with common tools and minimal experience. Plus, each kit comes with full color instructions and all the necessary couplers and clamps you need to get the job done fast.
MORE: Our 6.7 air intake is polished and powder coated in our unique Sinister gray, providing a clean, distinctive look under your hood. Pick up your air intake today and experience Sinister's 5 quality standards for yourself.
Q: I know it is stronger and looks better, but doesn't aluminum conduct more heat than plastic?
A: On a technical standpoint, aluminum would be a little more subject the heat because it is metal, but, it is thin walled tubing, and would also dissipate the heat much faster as air is moving. The issue with a plastic intake, while it takes just as much time to heat up, it takes a considerable amount more time to dissipate that heat build up, also known as heat soak. We could easily out source our intakes like most other companies, but instead we choose to spend more time and effort to make these out of a much better material, in house with our own welders and materials. We have been testing and running these for quite some time, and have out performed every other intake we have put it up against.

Every once in a while, an artist comes along with the intention of blowing things apart, only to somehow end up piecing it all together instead. Unfortunately—perhaps for rock and roll, but more likely for listeners of avant pop, bullet-bitten shot rock—Davey Dreamnation does not fit this category. He is an artist on the verge of exploiting himself.
He messes with freeforms, then strictly applies the eeriness of vocoders to what should be straight out rants or spoken word grumble jazz sketches. His recording careers – to now, shrouded in mystery but slowly coming to light by way of a series of Internet-only releases – posit him as a man with too much time, and perhaps only one idea worth following through.
This live set, however, will make more than one listener stand up and say: By gum, I think he's onto something. Live at Budokan is a recording of a single concert held at the Japanese venue that has been host to some very famous musicians, including Bob Dylan. Clocking in at 4 hours and 34 minutes, spread over four discs and coming with a set of drinks coasters of which the barmaid from Cheers would be proud, this album is something of a remarkable achievement.
The first disc, ironically titled 'Sound Check', sees Davey de-tuning each of his seven guitars in turn, so that by the time the disc ends, at roughly the seventy minute mark, the listener is being physically assaulted by the sounds of seven hideously pitched wails, quadrophonically separated and arrayed across the listening spectrum, pulsing in and across the pain barrier. Dreamnation goes further, however. Disc two ('Sound Check/Silence') continues in this vein for almost half its length.
The true effect of the sound is best achieved by playing the two discs simultaneously. At the half way point (note, we have now been subjected to over a hundred minutes of tuning), Davey suddenly switches off all the mikes, amps and foldback, and leaves the stage. We are then left in silence for the remainder of disc two, which again runs its full length. By this time, you can hear the fans screaming out requests, getting more and more pissed (off).
Disc three ('Lab') is where the listener first gets the sense that there's a real performance taking place here. From the blistering opening track 'lab', right through to the obligatory epic 'lab 25′, what we are presented with is not so much a series of discrete and well-crafted tunes, as 25 elaborations (no pun intended) on the same theme, namely: the sound a drummer makes with the sticks when counting the band in, used so famously on Nirvana's In Utero opener 'Serve the Servants'.
Thus we get 'lab 6′, all high-step fandango and sonic bleating, 'lab 8′ (a paeon to one of Dreamnation's favourite acts, Gamelan Orchestras of the Mind) and of course, 'lab 16-and-one-half', a thirty six minute, breakneck tour through what Coleridge might call caverns measureless to man – in other words, the interplay between a dozen Glenn Branca-trained ukelele players on speed, six percussionists with Georgia on their minds and the rock chameleon himself on vocals, mixing up razor-sharp commentaries on the current political situation ('don't vote/try instead the white rope', 'cowards sneer where dirty dogs fear to spread') with witty and fragile pop lyricism ('come give me shadows/ I'll play puppets with your ears', 'hey you/ in the third row/ what's so funny now?') reminiscent of the very best of Ginsberg, Kerouac and Che.
By disc three's end, then, one gets the sense that Dreamnation is finally warming to his task. What eventuates on disc four ('Death Traps'), therefore, might shock even the most die-hard avant-artist. How can I describe it, except in these words: Davey Dreamnation records the sounds of his own attempted suicide, cutting himself up into small quivering pieces on the cold Budokan stage, there to slowly fade out.
It is the screams of the dead and their watered-down blood, trampled beneath a stampede at a soccer stadium. It is the lever being pulled on a gigantic load of broken glass from a bull pen. It is the sinews of pain dripping down the speakers, only to be engulfed in the acid rain of feedback issuing from eight trumpets of doom, turned down to a dull shriek, and then turned off. And that's just track one.
'Death Traps' alone can be read as something of a prophetic statement, a manifesto of the artist's future intent. Since the recording of this album, Dreamnation has gone on to reinvent himself, coming back from the dead as it were. Let's hope he stays not dead. Because for all intents and purposes, this four-LP set should have been his funeral.
The fact that it isn't is credit to the man himself, and his sense of musical history.

"Horizon," glass/steel, each
|(Tobey C. Moss Gallery, West Hollywood) Costas Varotsos, a major Greek sculptor, has seen his reputation and recognition steadily grow in recent years on the international art stage. A subject of one-person exhibitions since 1978, he has, for the past four years, had his sculptures selected to appear at the Venice Biennale. For the 1999 Venice-based extravaganza, his country selected him as their sole representative, and his work fills Greeces entire pavilion.
Varotsos works primarily in glass and steel, materials which he transforms into works of art that radiate with spiritualized music and cosmic poetry. Working both indoors and out, Varotsos sculptures interact with and explore the specific sites they occupy. For example, he created a supernatural lake of glass atop a mountain in Italy, as well as a horizontal row of circular steel rings or rods within which he fit tightly stacked plates of clear glass. In the latter piece, installed on a beach in Greece, the glass rises to the center points of the concentrically positioned row of rings, creating a virtual horizon in itself as well as a visual reference point directing the viewers gaze over the water toward the actual horizon line of sea and sky. The glass, with its natural imperfections, sparkles as it catches the light like the blue of the Aegean sea itself, elevating the work into both a metaphor (for the symmetry and freshness of the natural world) and a lyrical celebration of the artist's materials in and of themselves.
|A piece called Horizon, a row of similar, partially glass-filled steel rings, occupies one of the gallerys walls. This time the artist sets these objects against or on opaque steel plates, which suggest a kind of rugged cloudy back-drop, or even the moody magnificence of a night sky hovering over the sea. The glass again erupts into lovely blue-green hues, and as the gallerys lights dance off of it one feels transported into a rhythmical, mythic dimension of aquatic wonder.
The artist utilizes another gallery wall to display Drops Here, rows of 12 square metal plates that catch molten drippings of metal as they cool into solid images. These drops seem to travel from one plate to the next, creating an Odysseus-like journey of process and product. The feeling is one of pure dynamism, as the energy, flow, and direction of the drops continue to express themselves even in their fixed shapes.
From the ceiling in a different part of the gallery Varotsos suspends irregularly shaped glass nuggets from thin wires. Similar in feeling to his multi-storied installation in the McCormick Center in Chicago, the work creates an improvisational cascading shower of glass, color and light, that, again, transforms the space it occupies into a symphonic artscape.
Varotsos works the space of a gallery as if it were a canvas, which, perhaps, explains why in an interview he described himself as . . .a painter, not a sculptor. Indeed, he values the illusion of three-dimensional space every bit as much as actual volume. This quality of illusionistic space finds further expression in a corner piece Varotsos creates for this exhibition. A rectangular tall column of glass plates angled inwardly snuggles into one of the gallerys corners, creating a sense of receding space far beyond the dimensions of the piece. More so, it offers an invitation to the viewer to enter through this work into a looking glass zone of endless imagination.

...because there is no clever way I can combine those two in a heading!
Here is a picture of the soap I made on the 27th of May. It finally hardened enough to unmould and cut a few days later.
After running it by the very clever women on my soaping list, I realised what the "problem" had been: I had soaped at cooler than usual temperatures, and so saponification took longer. The resulting soap is just fine, and here is how it (pardon the sort-of-pun) scrubbed up once wrapped and labelled.
Oh, and here is the ladybird costume I made for my 3yo girl's dress-up day at kinder.

Thanks nikkishell and Justine!
I do sell them, but only "casually" to friends and work acquaintances, mainly because I just haven't bothered with trying to sell them any other way. If you'd like to buy some, email me (I just put my email on my profile) and I'll let you know what I have available.

|Sighting Report
|Occurred : 6/16/1998 (Entered as : 1990s)
Reported: 12/12/2002 1:10:35 AM 01:10
Posted: 12/23/2002
Location: Broken Hill (Australia),
Shape: Rectangle
|regular sightings of massive "intergalactic" craft in or around Broken Hill NSW australia
This was reported on the well respected ABC National radio network several years ago which is where I learnt of it. It took the form of one on one interviews and I'm bringing it to your attention because the people of Broken Hill have withdrawn from the spotlight and you will not see the city which is a copper mine town, I think the largest in australia, on any ufo map. But its stories are the most rivetting I have ever come across in the past ten years.
The craft were described as common in the area, but not talked about because the people do not wish to be thought of as crazy. They are generally recognized as being massive by all witnesses including a world famous and respected artist who lives in the city, Pro Hart, and I quote , "about the size of sixteen football fields" ie each one or "about a mile long". And on a regular basis. This story might be old and the craft have probably moved on . Why stay near a desert town like Broken Hill forever, but I think it deserves to be put on the record. I believe these craft are Intergalactic , which would explain their great size. I was again reminded of them by your Rense show with a similar sized craft (or three) in Arizona.
These craft obviously know everything about us , see my earlier post about the searchlight phenomenon and continuous presence over Sydney Australia for several weeks with nothing in the media ,they have been studying us with superior technology for so long ,and are probably just waiting for us to grow up.Finally like my mother used to say "there is good and bad everywhere" and no doubt this applies to these extaterrestrials as well. In which case maybe some of THEM should grow up. I was just wondering, do these craft need copper? it doesn't hurt to take the discussion beyond 'Did you see that.It was..etc!' Finally I believe that maybe every star in the Universe may support life at some time. This concept gives glory to God so it is worth thinking about.
((NUFORC Note: Date is unspecified by witness. We have arbitrarily assigned a date so that the case sorts to the late 1990's. One of several reports from this witness. PD))

Photos: Odesza Electrifies Crowd @ The Independent
Friday night Seattle production group Odesza took the stage at the Independent in front of a sold out crowd that packed closely to the front to catch a glimpse. The electronic duo of Harrison Mills and Clayton Knight teamed up in 2012 while attending Western Washington University, and have a generated a style of flowing ambient melodies and electronic beats that are heavy on pitch changes. Like most acts that come off more mellow in recordings, Odesza's live takes their music to a higher, more immersive level. Both Mills and Knight would pump up their set by switching between a beat machine and drum pads to build the rhythms. The crowd's response brought the dance floor alive with dancers.
Check out Odesza for yourself and don't miss them when they come back to the Bay. Below is "How Did I get Here" of their debut album Summer's Gone. You could probably describe it to your parents as someone "remixing" that Pure Moods CD that sold millions on TV.

Although short-term memory fades during the mild and moderate stages of the disease, long-term memory remains. Some caregivers put this fact to use by encouraging individuals to talk about the past. This technique was developed in the 1960s by Dr. Robert Butler, who called it life review.
The reminiscence technique can be used by anyone willing to listen to a person with Alzheimer's who is willing to talk. Caregivers, and especially the grandchildren of individuals with Alzheimer's disease, are good candidates.
Advocates of the technique say that reminiscence builds self-esteem because it allows people with Alzheimer's to focus on things they can remember rather than be frustrated by what they cannot remember. Some believe that calling upon long-term memory stimulates memory function in general and may help a person's mind remain active for a longer time.
Suggestions for using the reminiscence technique include the following:
* Ask specific questions about the past that require more than a yes-or-no answer. Instead of "Did you like going to school?" ask " What kinds of things did you learn in grade school?"
* Pose follow-up questions to help the person continue his or her narration, such as " Was that a hard job?" or " How were you able to do that?"
* Encourage the individual to talk about his or her past achievements, talents, or skills: " I heard you used to be quite a dancer"; " Your apple pies were legendary in town"; " How did your flower shop outsell all the others in town?"
* Acknowledge and validate the person's feelings, both positive and negative. " It sounds like you had a wonderful time that day." " It was wrong of them to cheat you on that deal. I would be angry too."
* Remember that your job is to listen; keep your comments brief, and don't interrupt the speaker.
* Some memories may be painful. If the speaker looks or acts upset or uncomfortable, change the subject.
* Use sensory cues--old photographs, the smell of hot apple pie, foods he or she used to eat, old songs or music, the feel of a velvet dress---to assist in recall.
* Prompt the person by recalling specific events or dates in the past, such as their eighteenth birthday, the day they got their first car, their first job, their first kiss. Reminiscence sessions can be therapeutic for the person with Alzheimer's disease and informative for you and the other listeners.
They are excellent ways for the families of Alzheimer's people to learn about the old days, as well as allowing the Alzheimer's person to participate in family gatherings.

China Vs. My Husband
DONGSHIGU, China -- On Aug. 20, the Yinan County People's Court in Shandong province sentenced my husband, Chen Guangcheng, to four years and three months in prison on charges of "intentionally destroying property" and "assembling a crowd to disturb traffic."
Local officials punished my husband because he provided advice about the law and human rights to village women who were forced to undergo abortions. Officials in charge of birth control were afraid that they would be disciplined as a result of his peaceful activities.
I have not seen my husband since March, when he was formally detained after we both had been under house arrest and residential surveillance for six months. I have been banned by local government officials from visiting him, first at the detention center and now in prison. I never received notification about the date and location of my husband's court hearing. When I finally learned from a fellow villager about the hearing schedule, naturally I wanted to attend. But I was physically constrained by local officials, so I could not go.
Instead of attending his trial I was detained at the local police station. Officers threatened me, saying that unless I stopped speaking up about the case, I could also face charges and prosecution for intentionally destroying property and assembling a crowd to disturb traffic.
I did not receive any legal documents from the Yinan Court until almost a month after the court announced its verdict in my husband's case. When I had a chance to read the verdict, which was sent to me through e-mail by someone who took the trouble to record every word, I was overcome with indignation and grief. But I must hold myself together, for I have to take care of our two small children and my mother-in-law, who is ill from the fear caused by threats from officials. I left the house and buried myself in farm work. Security guards hired by local officials to follow me came along and kept an eye on me in the fields from just a few yards away.
Three fellow villagers who had been detained and who faced the same charges as my husband were released on Aug. 20. They were each sentenced to seven months, with the start of their terms deferred for one year. I asked them about what they had been through. They felt embarrassed, but they told me that they simply could not endure the torture during interrogation. And so they repeated back to authorities what they were ordered to say, and it was later used as evidence against my husband.
The police threatened them with death if they did not testify against him. They said that police officers had bound their hands behind their backs for at least three days. They were deprived of sleep for 15 days. The police pulled their hair and beat and kicked them whenever they fell asleep. One of them told me: "I was terrified of death. My kid is very young." I begged them to testify to Chen's innocence at the appeal. They refused. They said, "We were set free because we said and did something against our will and conscience. That was the price we paid for our release. We dare not do anything that has to do with Chen Guangcheng from now on. Our families have to survive."
I sympathize with these villagers and understand their fear. I can only lament the miserable situation of my fellow peasants in China.
Before I married Chen Guangcheng I was an English teacher. My parents disapproved of our marriage because Chen is blind. Now they want me to move back to live with them, but I have declined. Since I am still under residential surveillance, however, I have no choice but to let them take care of one of my children, who can then attend school there. I have no regrets at having chosen Chen Guangcheng to be my husband.
In September 2005, the local government set up a guard post in our front yard to monitor our daily activities. Since the police took Chen to the detention center in March, the guards have been watching and following me around all day long.
I want to send a message to my husband: One day the truth will come to light. Even though they put you in jail, they cannot imprison your thoughts and spirit. You must take good care of yourself so that you can continue your unfinished work.

Community College of Rhode Island alumna Mai Donohue will discuss her experience with domestic abuse, escape from her native Vietnam and new life in Rhode Island in "Memoirs of a Bad Luck Girl" at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 22, in Room 1134 at the Knight Campus in Warwick.
In her first book, "Crossing the Bamboo Bridge – Memoirs of a Bad Luck Girl," Donohue tells her inspirational life story of poverty, rebellion and war.
Donohue grew up in a country at war. Her small village, Thong An Ninh village in the Quang Ngai Province in the central region of Vietnam, was torn between north and south. From age 7, too small and frail to work in the fields, she cared for her nieces and nephews, winning their hearts with stories and delicious meals.
Donohue left Vietnam in 1970 to move to the United States with her husband, Brian. She is a 1997 alumna of CCRI and received her bachelor's degree from the University of Rhode Island in 2002. After raising her seven children, Donohue worked with students in the Alternate Learning Program at Barrington High School in Rhode Island for 15 years.
The CCRI Gender Equity Initiative, CCRI Alumni Association and CCRI Office of Institutional Equity are sponsoring Donohue's presentation.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, but this one (the second one) is even better. I loved the main character of Alexa. She is one of the toughest alpha female warriors I have ever read about. And the fight scenes that Starrling writes that feature Alexa are breathtaking. Plus, I appreciated the fact that unlike a lot of movies and books these days, there were a lot of bullets that actually missed the intended target. I don't think people really appreciate how hard it is to hit a running target with any shot that's not point blank! I find myself rolling my eyes every time I read a book where the hero or heroine gets shot by the first round that the bad guy squeezes off, or vice versa.
I also loved the interaction between Jackson and Alexa, and how over time he thawed her frozen exterior. The following excerpt was probably my favorite scene in the book, and it made me laugh out loud. It may have a tiny spoiler in it, but it's one you can see coming from a mile away. Or at least I could :)
Alexa scowled. "I want everyone out. Now," she ordered icily, holding the sheet to her breasts.Also, if anyone read my first review of "Soul Meaning," Book One in this series, you will know that I had an issue with the over use of adverbs and descriptors in the dialogue. I am happy to say that while there were still quite a few in this book, it was not too many to be distracting, and I was able to thoroughly enjoy the story without any interruptions.
Jackson straightened when her gaze fell on him. "What, you mean me too?" he said incredulously. "Don't tell me you're feeling shy, not after everything we did last night?" he added.
Reznak rose from the chair and headed stiffly for the door. Schmidt turned and followed her godfather, his stance rigid.
"I mean, there was some stuff I can honestly say I've never done before," Jackson continued drily.
Schmidt grimaced and slammed the door behind him.
Alexa could not help feel that Jackson had deliberately been taunting the immortal.
"It was the best night of my life," continued the Harvard professor. "My hips are still sore --"
A sai thudded into the wall next to him. The smile never left Jackson's face. He strolled toward the door at a leisurely pace and opened it. He walked out, stopped, and peeked his head around the corner. "By the way, would it be terribly wrong to say that you look very sexy this morning and that I want to crawl into that bed with you again?"
His laughter sent a quiver along her spine. The second sai hit the wood inches from his face. He grinned and left the room, his bag in hand.
Alexa glanced at the deck. The monk had disappeared. Despite her best attempts to suppress it, she could not stop the smile that crossed her lips.
I definitely recommend this series to anyone looking for an action packed suspense adventure. I can't wait for Book Three!

If you're like me and you just found out about this you're probably jumping up and down with glee.
I'm super excited to share with you the Target Beauty Box! You can only get it HERE on their Facebook page for a limited time and the best part?? It's $5.00!
Yes, I can't believe it either! It seems like two of my favorite things have come together in one little box of potential awesomeness!
Okay so here's the catch, this is a trial run by Target to see how well the public will respond to this. The box is made up of samples like Birchbox, or Beauty Army. But you won't know the contents of the box until it arrives at your door step, so this has the potential to be totally awesome or totally flop. My fingers are corssed for the awesomeness!
So go get your beauty box before they're gone!
xoxo - Hillary

When Lily Michaels-Ryan ditches her ADHD meds and lands in detention with Abelard, she's intrigued-he seems thirty seconds behind while she feels thirty seconds ahead. It doesn't hurt that he's brilliant and beautiful. When Abelard posts a quote from The Letters of Abelard and Heloise online, their mutual affinity for ancient love letters connects them. The two fall for each other. Hard. But is it enough to bridge their differences in person?
"Gibel's expressive narration expertly conveys characters and tone. With these high-contrast performances, Gibel skillfully communicates the emotional depth of characters and story." - Booklist
"Narrator Rebecca Gibel gives unique voices to neurodivergent teens Lily and Abelard. Having ADHD makes Lily's brain run in fast-forward mode; whereas, Asperger's makes Abelard's run slightly slower than everyone else's. This debut audiobook by #ownvoices author Laura Creedle is worth a listen." - Audiofile

Do you meal plan? It's something I've done on and off but I'm not always very good at sticking to them. As January has arrived, meal planning is one of the organisational things I am doing to help make my life a little easier. Ava can't have dairy and is also fussy, which makes planning meals even more difficult for us as a family. We don't always eat with the children as I find 5 ish too early, but we try to eat with them a few times a week and I also try and make a larger batch the evenings of the days I work to take for lunch the next day.
This is our weekly meal plan of dairy free meals and adaptions.
This week is a little different as James goes to America on Friday for the week so for some of the plan it's just me and the kids.
- Kids- Omega3 fishfingers (breadcrumbs), chips, tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Adults- Cod and chorizo fishcakes and chips with sweetcorn.
- Pasta bolognaise with added veggies (slow cooker) cheese grated on top once taken out for those that want it.
- Kids- chicken stiry fry with rice noodles, peppers, onions, carrots, mangetout and baby sweetcorn.
- Adults – Thai beef salad – recipe from Lean in 15 Sustain.
- Kids – Tuna pasta with veggie tomato sauce, cheese for the boys.
- Adults – Gnocchi and chorizo with spinach and cherry tomatoes
- Kids and I – Pizza (salad)
- Ava – chicken goujons, mini potato waffles (salad)
- Fusili with stir in pasta sauce, chicken and peppers. (Just Ava and I)
- Roast chicken dinner with roast potatoes, parsnips and carrots.
If you are looking for more dairy free meal inpsiration, check out my days of meals.

Job Title: Technical Director
Company: Active Transducer Research Ltd
Status: Member
Member since: 2003
Technical Committee: Loudspeakers and Headphones
Primary Section: U.K.
I began my career with the BBC in London, working on a wide range of projects in sound radio. I moved on after a couple of years, not without with regrets, although career development mandated a change. My next post took me into industrial electronics, developing high performance industrial motor controls and servo systems with S.R. Drives Ltd - then a university spin-off.
I've remained with S.R. Drives through its acquisition by U.S. multi-national Emerson Electric and subsequently Nidec Corporation of Japan, and am now U.K. Technical Director with responsibility for engineering in both R&D and production. I'm privileged to work with a team of about 60 staff in the U.K. as well as many Nidec colleagues in the USA, Japan and world-wide.
Although I've formally been working outside of the audio industry for some years, I've retained my life-long passion for the field, and am able to indulge this with a well-equipped home lab. I've been researching active control of loudspeakers - a topic actually not so very far removed from my day-job (just a different kind of motor...) and received a PhD in 2010 as a result of this work. I also enjoy recording classical and other live (mostly acoustic) music. The history of audio and broadcasting is another strong interest of mine, as more recently (and unfortunately — at least for the space in my study!) is collecting, transferring and restoring historical 78 rpm discs.
For those who may want to know such things, I have an honours degree in electrical engineering and 19 patents in the fields of motors, electronics and controls. I have published a number of papers, mostly in the field of motor control but also at AES Conventions. I have a diverse range of technical interests and design experience, from low noise and power analogue (using both solid-state and vacuum tubes), through embedded digital control and DSP, to switched-mode power at hundreds of kilowatts. I'm a U.K. Chartered Engineer, a member of the IET, IEEE and AES, and have a PhD concerned with active control of loudspeaker motors.

Before completing the UNC Business Essentials program, I did not know anything about the business world. I always felt like I was at a disadvantage when I attended career fairs and did not have any business background.
When I stumbled upon the Business Essentials program, I was thrilled to find out that it was not too late to learn business jargon! The Business Essentials program was a great way for me to learn the fundamentals of business at my own pace and on my own time. I completed the program over the summer in addition to taking summer classes and being a summer resident advisor. I was even able to work on the program during my spare time between flights and in the hotel while on my vacation.
The activities, quizzes and discussion boards for each section were incredibly helpful in making sure I understood the key points and allowing me to apply the concepts, as well as providing real-world examples to further my understanding. The tutors were also helpful in providing feedback to my discussion board responses and answering any questions I had about the material promptly, enabling me to do well on the final exam of each module. My favorite module in the program was business operations, which included detailed videos of how Kenan Stadium is operated and managed before, during and after home football games.
No matter what you obtain your degree in, I believe understanding fundamental business jargon is essential for every career. I am incredibly thankful to have gained this knowledge from the UNC Business Essentials program.

So I am still a law student so obviously I can't help potential clients. I had a woman I gave my number to awhile back give me a call today about an issue with guardianship of her granddaughter. She wasn't asking me for advice but she wanted me to refer her to an attorney.
Basically, I called one attorney I know who does a solo practice in her area who I think deals with that type of law on occasion but I am not 100% sure. I contacted her just now but she didn't pick up so she is probably out doing something.
I am also thinking about contacting another attorney I know who also does that kind of law on occasion. He is another solo practitioner in her area. Should I contact him before the first attorney gets back to me or is that not a good idea. I don't want to take potential business away from attorney #1 in the event she does want to take the case.
My instinct is telling me to wait for attorney #1 to contact me back before I contact attorney #2. But I am not really sure on the etiquette of this kind of thing. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Appropriate/Etiquette for referring potential clients if I am still in law school? Random question
You've probably already resolved this, but in the future, just give the person the name and number of the attorney you recommend and let the potential client contact the attorney directly. There is no reason to be the middle man.

Hotspot Hits for December, 2004
Page 1 of 1
Week of December 20-24, 2004
Week of December 13-17, 2004
. —December 13, 2004
SBC FreedomLink will be moving into several new locations: the company has a deal to install the hotspot service in 144 Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf locations in California, Arizona, and Nevada. They expect all the venues to be unwired by early 2005, with some live before the end of this year. Service is $19.95 a month for unlimited access at all FreedomLink locations, or $3.95 per day.—December 13, 2004 BT OpenZone is now an open zone for subscribers of the iPassservice. BT's 1,500 hotspots throughout the UK in everything from airports to rail stations to hotels and beyond will join the iPass Global Broadband Roaming network. iPass says this gives the company access to 12,554 active hotspots in 46 different countries around the globe.—December 13, 2004 All 25 buildings on the campus of South Carolina's Charleston Southern University have been connected using a new wireless network powered by equipment from Proxim. In 2001, the school first installed APs in dorms, and included a Proxim Wi-Fi PC Card as part of the residence hall package for its 3,000 students. The success of that program led to installing the network campus-wide. An under-construction science building will also be outfitted with Proxim AP-700 units for next year, and outdoor hotspots are in the offing for common areas.—December 13, 2004 The battle for what town has the biggest big-city Wi-Fi network continues, and it looks like Atlanta is in the lead. MSNBC says the city hall is ready to launch, and by March other downtown and airport areas will be live. It will evolve from there. The city isn't putting this in themselves, though. While it's labeled "Atlanta FastPass," the network is being installed by Biltmore Communications, and they even link in other third-party hotspots, including those on the Georgia Tech and Georgia State campuses, to create the overall network.—December 13, 2004 MuniWireless.com is reporting that the city of Madison, Wis., is going to put in a citywide Wi-Fi cloud that will cover the city, the airport, and other municipalities. They're currently looking for proposals from vendors. Wisconsin, however, is one of the states now with a law on the books restricting towns from competing with telecom companies, but there are some loopholes, such as not providing service directly to users—instead, the city could allow multiple providers to use whatever network they install. —December 13, 2004 Some locations with citywide Wi-Fi networks will soon be getting the benefits of voice over that wireless. Ecuity has teamed up with Azulstar Networks (a division of Ottawa Wireless) to be the primary VoIP provider in the cities of Rio Rancho, N.M., and Grand Haven, Mich. Both should get access to voice services sometime in 2005.—December 13, 2004
Week of December 6-10, 2004
Palm Springs International Airport joins the FreedomLink network run by SBC this week. There are six hotspots at the airport, installed by local payphone provider Q3 Telecom. Service is free until April 15 of next year to SBC DSL customers, then goes to $1.99 a month. Regular FreedomLink subscribers pay $19.95 per month for unlimited access to all of the network's locations. Day trippers can try it for $7.95. SBC also runs hotspots at Bob Hope International Airport in Burbank, Evansville-Vanderburgh Airport in Evansville, Ind., Cleveland International, Little Rock National, and Northwest Arkansas Regional. —- December 10, 2004 Latest partner for Connexion by Boeing is Vodafone, which plans to start a trial this month on Lufthansa flights. If it all works out, Vodafone customers will get to roam onto flights using Connexion, and have the billing appear on their Vodafone account.—Friday, December 10, 2004 The Seattle Times says that Wi-Fi on the various passenger ferries in the Puget Sound area will be taking off soon, adding the Edmonds-Kingston route soon and the Seattle-Bainbridge Island route by the end of the month (it's already live on the Townsend-Keystone run). However, due to the inability to get antenna rights out on Blake Island, the Seattle-Bremerton ferry—the longest route—won't get any Wi-Fi. The service will be free for a few months to trial it, and if it works out, the ferry service will pass administration on to a third party which might be able to get the rights on Blake Island. Or, then again, it might not.—December 10, 2004 Kista Mobile Showcase is apparently a citywide showcase of just what mobile wireless can provide. It's located in Kista Science City, outside Stockholm. The network consists of 110 access points covering areas like the Gallerian shopping mall, IT University campus, Kista Science Tower, and others. Visitors get a Wi-Fi device, and the showcase uses location tracking to serve up info depending on where they are—you get menus when near restaurants, timetables when near the train station, etc.—December 9, 2004 TowerStream continues to deploy in big cities. The pre-WiMax fixed wireless broadband provider says it has secured space on the top of downtown Chicago's John Hancock Center. Combined with their presence on the Aon Center and elsewhere, this gives them "a wireless ring high above the city's skyline," the company says. TowerStream also has service installed in other big cities, including New York, Boston, Providence/Newport, and Los Angeles. —December 9, 2004 Wi-Fi Networking News is reporting that Truckstop.net's Wi-Fi service has, apparently, stopped. The network of hotspots at highway truck stops was powered by Sprint, but reports from Omaha World Herald say that Sprint cut off service after Truckstop.net filed a lawsuit claiming the equipment doesn't work properly. The court paperwork says Truckstop.net went from 45,000 subscribers down to 6,000 due to inconsistent connections—this after it paid $6 million to Sprint. Sprint says it can't replicate the problems.
Truckstop.net has to wait for a court ruling before it can contract with another provider. Some truck stop venues are going directly to Sprint, asking to get service turned back on.
Meanwhile, Flying J, which operates its own truck stops and runs a Wi-Fi service out of them, says it will let truckers use the balance of what they are owed by Truckstop.net—some paid for a year in advance—to get access through the Flying J TON service, which has 285 active hotspots. —December 8, 2004
Connexion by Boeing spelled out its current service offerings in an announcement today. Basically, Lufthansa has flights from Munich to Charlotte, Tehran, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, plus another from Frankfurt to Denver, all in service. All Nippon Airways has service between Tokyo and Shanghai. Coming this week on Japan Airlines will be the Tokyo to London flight (basically, you can't go too wrong out of Tokyo), and next week, Lufthansa adds Munich to Miami and San Francisco. Scandinavian Airlines has various routes out of Copenhagen. This isn't counting recent announcements of future partnerships like the one announced yesterday with Singapore Air.—December 8, 2004 America West Airlinessays that three of its America West Clubs in the Phoenix, Ariz., Sky Harbor International Airport have been set up with hotspots as a club member amenity. —December 8, 2004 A faster Sprint is coming—they've renewed a contract with Nortel Networks to get updated equipment across their current Nortel-powered footprint that would include 3G wireless and potentially CDMA2000 1xEV-DO technology in key markets. The company is shooting to have it in several areas by 2005. The contract is worth $1 billion over the next three years. —December 7, 2004 SMC Networks is shipping new hardware for hotspot owners. The EliteConnect 2.4GHz 802.11g wireless Hotspot Gateway Kit includes AAA services on a router with SPI firewall, and comes with a point-of-sale (POS) ticket printer and a DSL/Cable modem gateway. The package sells for $900. Wireless School Days:
- Chantry Networks' BeaconWorks equipment is powering the entire WLAN of Colorado's Adams 12 Five Star School District, which has 36,000 students, staff and faculty across 47 schools. Not only do they use it for wireless Internet connections in classrooms and labs, the lunch ladies use it to do POS debit transactions in the cafeteria.
- Benedict College in Columbia, S.C., is using Proxim APs and a Tsunami long-distance radio (to connect with off-site offices) to cover its campus of 3,500 potential users. Local service provider Conterra deployed the network.
- Trapeze Networks says that Institut Le Rosey, Switzerland's oldest private school, will be using its Mobility Points and Switches to unwire the school's campus in Rolle where students meet in spring and autumn, and also for winter classes held near the ski resort in Gstaad—where skiing is required. Those poor students. The network, installed by Telecom Systems, will be used mainly for surfing, however, which is much safer. —December 7, 2004
If you're visiting the Dubai International Film Festival as press, guest, or moviegoer, look for the wireless network. It's being provided by Single Digits. Hotspots in the area will have extra information for those attendees that log on, so they can find all the movies on the schedule as well as extra information on the city of Dubai. —December 7, 2004 Singapore Airlines has signed an agreement to offer Connexion by Boeing in-flight Wi-Fi. It will use the network to bring "live international TV on board, beamed through Connexion by Boeing to the passengers' laptops" by mid-2005 (starting with news channels, later adding sports) in addition to the usual e-mail and Web surfing. Internet pricing will be $30 for six+ hour flights, $20 for three to six hours, and $15 for less than three hours. —December 7, 2004 The Charlotte Arena, future home of the NBA's Bobcats and the WBNA's Sting, is using an in-building wireless system from InnerWireless to cover the 780,000 square foot building with signals for Wi-Fi and cellular, shooting for (get it?) no dead spots. The teams plan to offer fans such applications as ordering food and drinks on PDAs, Web surfing, and video instant replays on screen while in their seats. The wireless will also let the arena staff handle building controls such as temperature, lighting, and security. News media will be able to use the network to file stories while covering events in real time. —December 7, 2004 The Princess Cruise Line—that's right, the Love Boat!—now offers wireless hotspots on all 14 vessels. Access is 35 cents per minute. Some of the ships, including the Sun Princess, Dawn Princess and Regal Princess, have installed Internet Cafés, so if you don't have a Wi-Fi device, they'll give you some access. The networks are installed with V-Link Solutions as integrator.—December 7, 2004

Medical and Public Health Law Site
Opinions of the Office of Legal Counsent - DOJ
Section 208 of title 18 prohibits a government employee from serving on the board of directors of an outside organization in his or her official capacity, unless the service is authorized by statute or the employee obtains either a release of fiduciary obligations by the organization or a waiver of the requirements of section 208.
November 19, 1996
You have requested our advice as to whether Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") personnel may serve on the boards of directors of non-federal nonprofit entities in their official capacities. Specifically, you have raised the question whether 18 U.S.C. Ï 208 would prohibit such service. Section 208 prohibits any officer or employee of the executive branch from participating as a government official in any "particular matter" in which an "organization in which he is serving as officer, director, trustee, general partner or employee . . . has a financial interest." 18 U.S.C. Ï 208(a). We conclude that this broad prohibition against conflicts of interest within the federal government would prevent a government employee from serving on the board of directors of an outside organization in his or her official capacity, in the absence of: (1) statutory authority or a release of fiduciary obligations by the organization that might eliminate the conflict of interest, or (2) a waiver of the requirements of Ï 208(a), pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Ï 208(b).
Our conclusion follows inevitably from earlier opinions of this Office on the scope of Ï 208. Specifically, we recently found that Ï 208 would prevent an executive officer or employee who was also serving as the director of an outside organization (in a state that imposed fiduciary obligations upon such directors) from participating in any particular matter in his or her government employment in which the outside organization had a financial interest. See Memorandum for Kenneth R. Schmalzbach, Assistant General Counsel, Department of the Treasury, from Walter Dellinger, Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel (June 22, 1994) ("Connie Lee opinion"). In the Connie Lee opinion, we made clear that the inherent conflict of interest between the government employee's loyalty to the federal government and his or her fiduciary duty to the outside organization under state law could be overcome only if such service were expressly authorized by statute, or if the outside organization waived applicable fiduciary obligations.(1) Neither of those exceptions applied to the situation in the Connie Lee opinion, nor are we aware that they apply to the question you have raised.
Although our focus in the Connie Lee opinion was with how this conflict of interest might influence the government employee's official duties in his or her government job, that conflict is no less troublesome in its effect upon the employee's official actions as director of the outside organization. The prohibition in Ï 208 extends to any official action by a government employee that affects the employee's financial interests or those of other specified persons or entities, such as an organization for which the employee is a director. In the instance you have asked us to address, the employee performs official duties for the FBI in serving on the board of the outside organization. Thus, Ï 208 would apply to any action the employee takes as a director that affects the financial interests of the outside organization.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We have attached for your reference both the Connie Lee opinion and a memorandum from the Office of the General Counsel of the Department of Defense, which you may find helpful in further clarifying this issue.
Beth Nolan Deputy Assistant Attorney General Office of Legal Counsel
1 This would require that applicable state law permit a waiver of fiduciary obligations.

he Gettin' Place Ministries, INC. and the Gettin' Home, INC
C3 organizations lo
ted in Oklahoma.
The plight of women coming out of prison has always tugged at
heart. The programs women participate in while incarcerated help them gain knowledge to make wise choices and plans, however only few women succeed once out. Over the years we have seen many incarcerated women released from prisons only to find themselves in the same impossible situations that inevitably lead to their re-incarceration. Upon returning to jail women would verify that they were fine until they faced reentry challenges and home life together. This one indicator proved to us how the system currently in place is lacking where ex-offender women's needs are concerned. Our desire was to see these women succeed when returning to life outside of incarceration. Thus birthed a vision for the Gettin' Home.
The Gettin' Home is a Women's Re-entry Training Center Home and Campus. A home such as this helps women released from incarceration in many ways. This home gives them a safe place to live while applying the re-entry training they receive here. Here they have the means to get back on their feet, arrange to pay fines and get an ID or a driver's license. They can gently make transition back into society by scheduling visitations with their family and finding jobs. Here the women find encouragement and many of the resources needed to help them make it as productive citizens on the outside while living in a drug and alcohol free environment. It is unfortunate that many of the facilities laid out for those returning to society are most often full and mostly facilities for men.
The Gettin' Home
has opened
of the first Women's Reentry Training Center Home of its kind in Northwest Oklahoma. Having researched facilities throughout the US we have developed a plan providing ample space for 12 women. Because jobs are limited in Northwest Oklahoma, we will implement cottage industries (home based businesses) to help the women learn to create jobs if they cannot find one. Through volunteer sources, the home provides vocational training, new experiences in "giving back" through volunteer work in the community, as well as family enrichment for a portion of the program. Because The Gettin' Place Ministries is a Christ based organization, Bible Training is a significant focus in the home. This home teaches family values and responsibility; something that we take for granted but many of the women coming to us have not yet experienced.
