I got the idea from the character description for training ground.
I'll start
Celeste Maiden of the Stars
Waist length strawberry blonde hair, saphire blue eye that seem to glow in the dark, medium hight 5'6, athletic build.
Apprentice healer that lost her lord to a dragon. She now travels to find a new one to learn from. Hopeful one better than the last, he was somewhat of a hack! She learned more from trial and error than him. She loves music and loves to dance. One last thing, she carries a purple bag with her everywhere she goes, but please don't look in it, it's magically protected.
Have a day!
Merry Meet, Merry Part and Merry Meet Again
Blessed Be,
*Celeste of the Stars*

Labban (LAY-bun) is a librarian by day, and minstrel by night. He's a hair shy of 6', has shoulderblade lenght curly red/brow hair, one green eye and one brown eye, and has an unrefined lumberjack build. More of genetics than actual effort goes into his stature. He is a librarian, after all. Not a small man, and not a big man (I suppose at the time 6' is pretty large). Just very capable. The kind of guy that would blend into any crowd, but would make you hug the wall if you met him in a dark alley. Quite gentle, and very unsure of himself. He's a goofball with his friends, and rarely stops talking.
He also has no idea what the hell is going on with his life.
(I pretty much just described myself.)
"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."

Highlander, tall for the times 6'1" with blondish red hair and a full red beard comes from a different time in search of ? His size and demeanor belies his caring nature.

Feargus Macerca
Mastersmith, bladesmith
6 ft. tall, sandy blonde hair, sky blue eyes, full beard with streaks of red.
Years of working at the forge has made him like a rock, the only soft thing about him is his heart, which breaks to the surface once in a while.
"Cuimhnich air na daoine o'n d'thaining thu"
Remember the men from whom you are descended.
I am Wolf.
It is my cry you hear in the night,
My eyes that gaze at you from the shadows.
It is my heart that beats in your Soul,
My strength that makes you whole.
I am Wolf. I am in you.
You are in Me. We Are Wolf.

Josie 3Ravens, Master Healer.
Short, 5 foot nuthin', pleasingly plump(ahem), of middle age. Grey hair, brown eyes, ready smile and quick laughter. Tendency to talk a lot. Sometimes uses a rather formal style of speech, prehaps a coverup for the speech patterns of her country upbringing. Has an innate talent for healing magick. Coming from good peasant stock, had no "formal" training other than from the local hedgewitch of the village. Functioned as hedgewitch in her own right, caring for people and animals, and presiding at birthings of all sorts.
After her daughters were grown and her husband passed on, decided to persue "formal" training at the nearest Healer's Hall in Highlander Castle. Much to others (and sometimes her own) surprise, and despite having to learn to read first, she was found to possess a quick wit and ready understanding. She had no trouble with her studies, and tested at a medium level in most healing magicks, and a high level in intuition and rapport with magical beings.
Having completed her studies and passed her testing, she was just made a Master yesterday, and now needs only her Master's Quest to complete all requirements for formal recognition.
If age is a learning experience, I should be a genius by now...

High Dragon Master Angel "Rider" Whitefang,
Her Body is built like that of an amazon, well built with long shapely legs. she holds her body in deeprespect, feeling that it is a temple and must be at it's peak performance at all times.
Having Long white Hair with a hint of bluishpurple color that she keeps braided most of the time for it would not do well to have her hair singed to the roots due to Dragon Fire.
Dark sable eyes that glow white when using her Dragon Magick. Unknown Birthdate but knows she has seen eons go by. a Mystic Dragon Sorceress, The last remaining of her kind, The red sometimes purple Gem is a mark of her status that glows brighter as she uses her magick more often. Standing a mere 5'7" she wears Battle armourment unless she is in her chambers then she prefers dark purple deerhide trousers with matching boots, a lavender Tunic & always wears her cloke of white and gold. A warrior at heart with the Blessings of Magick she was raised in a villiage dedicated to Dragons, Rider was chosen at Birth by the last High Dragon Master to taker his place. She will continue to live until she has found the appropriate apprentice and has trained them up to take her place. Being Hurt in the affairs of the heart she is wary of the opposite sex. Though she believes that every one has goodness in them. She currently resides in the Castle Dungeons which she transformed to suit her needs. A healer for Dragon related Injuries , she can only do so much and relies on Master Healer Josie to cure and mend when it is not Dragon related. Her knowledge of Dragons is vast but she has a faulty memory so relies on her scrolls and books to remind her. She carries a hip pouch which holds all of her herbal remedies and potions ( It magicked so alot can fit in it)
Good hearted and affectionate to those who mean the most to her. schooled well in the ways of the warrior a Master with a double bladed Staff and her Sword Dragon tears. She has a volatile temper and is emotional before thinking things through sometimes. Has a fondness for a certain Gentleman but has been hurt recently by him so has vowed to show her colder side to him........if she can.
Tries to see the good side in every situation, though often times the only good side is that she is still breathing, Plagued by nightmares that cause her to scream out. She is often thought of as a loner. They couldn't be more wrong.

Liriel Baenre Do'Urden
Comes from a distance land. She is not what she seems to be. She is 5'0, athletic build, long white hair somewhat braided into a netting of sorts, amber eyes with a mischievous glint. She has some magick training but mostly is a warrior. She dresses in black trousers, a white billowing shirt laced in the front, a long black cloak with a large hood that tends to shadow her face, fine soft and supple leather gloves and sturdy leather ankle boots. She carries a small crossbow, and a necklace that tends to glow when around other magicks.
She seeks her master, Drizzit Do'Urden, from whom she takes his last name until she is of age.
Her presents in the land is puzzling but will show through when needed.

Lahatha, of wolfenkind, she has silver-blue fur and green eyes. She was born with a deep understanding and love of nature but until her early womanhood was unaware of her behavior as being curious. As she spent much of her time in the wood and was close to natures heart, she was chosen to have her abilities revealed to her. She was shown her wolven ancestry and now her preferred form is that of a wolf, she has found the human form to betray her in times past and reveals it seldomly. Her life has been one of turmoil and grief. Having lived in the wood for many years... centuries in fact... she can understand human, elven, and multiple animal languages.
When in human form Lahatha is short, 4'9", with silver blue hair streaming to her calves. She is a thin waisted young woman with defined muscles. She has found that if she remains long in human form her skin tone becomes a bit tanned and her hair gains some light red streaks. She prefers to avoid this for it shows more of what she was a very long time ago. She has guarded green eyes that reveal little about what she is thinking. Do not take offense if she avoids eye contact and beware if she stares into your eyes in both human and wolf form. She is calm and strategic. Do not betray her trust.
Lahatha has had a vision. A very disturbing one that reveals her need to accompany the travelers. There are many things she is unsure of but will not readily admit this. She is guarded in telling the others of her vision for she is directly involved in it and things will come to pass that will alter her ways. She carries with her some useful talents. She has stealth, strength, a deafening yowl, and the ability to track. She is able to confuse, divert attention, and call creatures to assist in her endeavors. She must take human form to take a human life and she must be in wolf form to take another creatures life.
She hates full moons. Do not be surprised if you do not hear her howling. It is during these nights that she shifts without choice... she will simply take leave into the woods or anywhere she can find to slip away to.

Lives in the forest and seldom comes out. A small creature, with a strong limp. Her voice even though hoarse, betrays her as a she, but it is not known what she really is. Her hands seem to be disfigured but all that can seldom be seen since she is hiding mostly and her features lie in the shadows of her cowl and cloak.
She is whispered of in the villages, known as the "hag" and sometimes comes out for the market day to trade her vegetables and herbs for a bit of meat.
Children are frightened to bed with stories about her, since one boy went into the forest to do mischief and came back and never spoke a word ever again. No one knows how long she has been there but everyone knows she has been there a long time.
Her hut is built out of stone, an old hermit's hut. In the Garden she grows vegetables and fruit but villagers often tell that she is growing herbs for more sinister purposes as well.

here I go, yet again with another character.. i sort of think that your group is a little short of people with no special abilities at all, so I thought I'd add a valiant catwarrior, being of the catpeople is the only thing about her that is different.
Mirre is not big, she is barely 5 feet and of a slim elegant built. Of course she moves with the elegance of the cat people and many are known to have longed for one of their kind. Her ears sit high on her head and can be turned into any directio to filter the slightest of sounds. The beard hairs have long since their development disappeared and are now a net of senses and nerves that can feel the slightest of changes of the pressure in air. Her green eyes are able to see well in the dark since that is the primary time to hunt for cat people. She is of a dark grey skin color, or what appears to be skin. It is infact very very short hair. She is "tigered" with black stripes that pass all over her body and has a beautiful long tail of which she takes great care.
The hair on her head is long and bound together in her neck by a bit of silverwire.
Her hands are formed like elongated paws, the fingers not thin and nimble but able to wield a sword to great perfection. She also uses her razorblade sharp claws, another very good weapon in battle. Her primary weapon as such is the scimitar which hangs off the belt of her armor. Primarily a leatherarmor but at vital places inforced with steel and adorned with the flowing symbols of her kind. She wears what appears to be a short leather skirt which is splitted to both sides to give free movement.
To her people she is known as a shadowwalker, those that walk alone and only will appear to the loose clan-meetings. She also can melt into the darkness, being invisible to those that do not know about shadowwalkers. And in fact not many do.
She is confident of her own appearance and of her skills and although not much of a talker she is able to cast decisions quick and without regrets.
She is quick to kill but not without having mercy on some.
Having had no mate as yet she is not welcome to return to her clan as yet. Catwarriors have to prove themselves in battle and find a mate outside their clans before they are allowed back in after their initation.

I'd forgotten about this part.
Grungahn is a dark Dragon. He was once Gron'egaun, a member of the Draconian Council, but never more than average in the hierarchy. He toiled for 3400 years to obtain a Lordship, but never achieved it. He grew bitter and turned on his people to find his own Kingdom. He has been a silent threat for over three hundred years, but has now finaly gathered his design up to the current point. If the Council did not grant him his ambitions, then he would rule the world of Dragons by force.
Generations of seers have trained his eye on a small but diverse group of misfitts who have been given the one task that he must foil.
His mercenaries and loyalists were out watching them at all times. Uninterferring until the right time. A time where he would have his future firm in his grasp.

The last of the clan of Renellan, she was part of a group many years ago who came to ease the burden of the village when the torment of the dragons began, and she has the scars to prove it, which she keeps hidden. With her on that fateful day, were the remaining few of her kin, so she has noone close to her now. In the village, she is seen as an outside magik woman. They have accepted her into the village, but not with complete trust, making her all but an outcast.
Physically, she is quite attractive, despite the scarring Standing tall, her strawberry blonde hair has regrown since the encounter to half way down her back. She is normally found wearing long clothing, even in the heat of summer to hide the evidence of her encounter, and the pain it brings her. She resents the dragon magick in the group for the same reason, it reminds her of her own party, and the pain in her life. Aaediwen felt her energies as they walked in, and convinced her to join the party to avenge her clan and perhaps end the pain.

Ladaerwen (pronounced Lah-DIRE-wehn): in common tongue, maiden of shadow
Kin to Lahatha, but where Lahatha has a silver hue, Ladaerwen is a black wolf.
She also can change shape to human form (in which she is fair-skinned with short black hair), but prefers wolf form.
Ladaerwen has no special fighting powers, but is a maester of the arts of sorcery, healing and tracking. She can sense beasts' true motives, but whether or not she tells you is up to her. She is quick to deceive and prefers solitude to company.
Although she looks evil, she shuns the dark arts, and has defeated many a black foe.
While Lahatha was raised human, Ladaerwen was raised a wolf. They found each other in the woods of Daurendin, and knew a special bond, for without speaking (wolf or human), they knew the others' thoughts.
Although they roamed the forests for many years and knew no sorrow, the Dark Lord Gron'egaun found them and was jealous of their friendship. He hated all wolves, but especially the race of Lurhath (Lahatha and Ladaerwen's great grandsire), who would not join with him in usurping power over the Yirnen Forest of the north many years ago, but fought against him instead. Losing that battle, he was exiled to the Eastern desert Narranh.
One day, Lahatha and Ladaerwen strayed from the Yirnen Forest, and although Lahatha's strength and Ladaerwen's magic greatly weakened him, Gron'egaun overtook the sisters, and split them apart.
Upon finding one another recently, they have sworn an oath to break the sword of Gron'egaun. The sisters have but one clue to his whereabouts: each hold half of an emerald from the Dark Lord's crown.
However, they know that they can not defeat Lord Gron'egaun alone.
What do you fear, my lady?
A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them, and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.

A man arrested after a baby boy was found abandoned in the toilet at Wigan's A&E department has been released on police bail.
The 31-year-old was detained by officers on suspicion of attempted murder after security staff at Wigan Infirmary discovered the newborn baby, who remains in a stable condition, just after midnight on Wednesday.
Greater Manchester Police have also said that the baby's mother is currently in hospital receiving treatment.

Detective Inspector Martin Reddington, from GMP's Wigan borough, said: "This is an awful situation, I am just so happy I am able to say that the baby boy is doing well.
"We have made an arrest and we will be thoroughly investigating how this happened.
"We are appealing for anyone who may have been in the A&E department between 7pm and midnight and perhaps saw a man and a woman in and around the toilets or saw anything unusual to get in touch with police as soon as possible.
"I would like to take this opportunity to praise the staff at the Royal Albert Infirmary, without doubt their heroic actions saved the life of this new born baby."
GMP said that enquiries are ongoing.

AirForce USA .20 Cal Condor PCP HPA Air Rifle Pellet Gun Spin-Loc Tank in Blue
The AirForce Condor delivers from 600fps to a rip-snorting 1450 fps and it's recoilless! Accurate (1" at 150 yards) and powerful, this PCP offers extreme flexibility. It has a 24" Lothar Walther barrel 1:16 twist. You can also buy 12" and 18" barrels. Change-outs are easy and don't require any special tools. Built in the USA.
NOTE: The .20 cal pellets are slightly longer than the .22 cal pellets of the same weight. Therefore, they drag in the barrel a little more and produce lower velocities. The quoted figures are actual test figures and are correct.
You'll need an adapter to fill the reservoir with air. The type of adapter depends on how you plan to fill your gun. A scuba tank will require a different adapter than a hand pump or carbon fiber tank. If you use a hand pump, the type of adapter you need depends on the brand of pump you use.
There are lots of ways to configure this gun, including rail-mounted accessories (coin-slot screws for each change out). You can choose the scope, laser, flashlight, night vision equipment, extra tanks, quick-detach fiber-optic sights and attachments for the type of refilling unit you plan to use. If you replace the barrel with a longer one, the gun will not be silenced.
The .177-caliber Condor has a special tank valve spring. If you plan to attach other caliber barrels to your gun, you may want to buy a tank made for the other calibers. If you use the .177-caliber tank with the other smallbore calibers you'll experience a drop of 50-100 fps in those calibers. However, if you buy the .20, .22, or .25 caliber but plan to also attach a .177-caliber barrel, you must buy a .177-caliber air tank. If you don't the tank valve spring will not close fast enough and all your air will be dumped.

10 Predictions for 2012
As we head swiftly into the new year, Livven gave us a look into the past 12 months for XDA. The tech world at large has had a great year, and there doesn't seems to be any signs of next year slowing down. With that in mind, Azrienoch and I have put together 10 predictions for the next year of tech.
10 – The Samsung Galaxy S III will not, contrary to many rumors, have 3D. Not only would 3D technology increase Samsung's precious device thickness, but the technology itself has a long way to go before overcoming the pitfalls it found in the LG Optimus 3D and HTC EVO 3D. We'd be surprised if a single mobile device bearing 3D pops into the lineup of even the remotest of companies in 2012.
9 – HTC will become the first truly GPL-compliant major Android manufacturer, following their recent move to unlock bootloaders previously locked by carrier demand, and their release of every available device's source code. This means that the Android kernel source code is released the same day as the Android device. After that, either Sony Ericsson, Motorola, or Samsung will make the commitment next. Both Samsung and Sony Ericsson are close to GPL compliance now, and when Google's purchase of Motorola is complete, Google will see to that schedule. On that note, Motorola will also begin unlocking bootloaders with the backing of Google.
8 – In the wake of lawsuits against Carrier IQ and the manufacturers and carriers who used it, Carrier IQ will go bankrupt. They may attempt a change in their company name, but Carrier IQ stocks will continue to plummet. Researchers and developers will begin work looking into Motricity, Verizon's analytics and diagnostic equivalent to Carrier IQ, but the reaction to whatever is found won't be as devastating.
7 – Apple will achieve minor victories against Android manufacturers for patents currently in suit. Depending on the changes to Android that come with the conclusion of Oracle's lawsuit, Apple will file suits against Google directly, either out of desperation or emboldened by those minor victories, already mentioned.
6 – Research In Motion ceases to exist as anything but a service provider. This outcome may or may not be pushed over the edge by a couple of RIM executives getting drunk, breaking into prison, breaking out again, and jaywalking across every intersection they can find before being arrested for defacing a twenty dollar bill.
5 – HTC will produce the Jellybean Nexus phone, using an OMAP processor. Scoring points with developers by unlocking bootloaders and achieving GPL compliance, switching from Qualcomm to OMAP on their Sense phones, and Samsung occupied with creating the Nexus tablet, will all play into Google's decision to contract HTC with the next Nexus phone.
4 – Sometime in mid 2012, Microsoft will release their highly anticipated attempt to revolutionize their OS with Windows 8. Whether or not it will be the wunderkind Microsoft hopes it will be has yet to be seen, but what it will do for sure is create a unified look and feel to all if their products. With users on PCs and Xbox 360s adopting to MetroUI, Windows Phone will be a comforting visual counterpart and cause a serious increase in sales. MetroUI support for cross platform functionality will mean a serious dedication to Windows Phone apps as well.
3 – As companies notice the growing disdain for carriers and contracts across the US and Canada, services like Republic Wireless will grow a serious following, forcing the carriers to eliminate 3 year agreements and return unlimited data. A happy accident of this situation will be a carrier-released, 100% CyanogenMod phone.
2 – Oracle and Google will continue to battle throughout 2012. It will become clear that neither organization is interested in a settlement or compromise. By the time Google finally wins, Android will be the last major project using Java, forcing Oracle to sell Java to Google.
1 – Samsung will leverage their existing relationship with Intel and Microsoft from the Windows 8 tablet to gain favor with Google to make a Google approved Tablet with an ATOM processor. This "Nexus Tablet" will be the first x86 Android Tablet, likely sporting Jellybean.
On behalf of all the staff at XDA, we'd like to wish everyone a safe and happy New Year!

America's military and their families can benefit from a new social media campaign. (NAPS)
(NAPSI)—A new way to honor America's veterans and
military families can be at your fingertips. That's because Fujitsu
General America launched a Facebook campaign to help military families.
How It Works
A leading provider of energy-efficient heating and cooling systems for
residential and commercial use will donate $1 to Operation Homefront for
every "like" it receives on its Fujitsu General USA Heating
& Cooling Facebook page.
How It Helps
Operation Homefront is a national 501©(3) nonprofit whose mission is
to build strong, stable and secure military families so they can thrive-not
simply struggle to get by-in the communities they've worked so hard to
protect. For over 15 years, the organization has provided programs that
• Relief-through critical financial assistance and transitional
housing programs
• Resiliency-through permanent housing and caregiver support
• Recurring Family Support-through programs and services that help
military families overcome short-term bumps in the road so they don't
become long-term chronic problems.
Recognized for superior performance by leading independent charity oversight
groups, 92 percent of Operation Homefront expenditures go directly to
programs that support tens of thousands of military families each year.
Said Andy Armstrong, vice president of sales and marketing for Fujitsu
General America, "We hope everyone will join us in our quest to raise
as much money as possible to enhance the lives of our most deserving American
"This is an exciting campaign because anyone can get involved
through social media to support military families," added Jill Eskin-Smith,
senior director of corporate and foundation partnerships for Operation
Homefront. "Many Americans care about our men and women in uniform but
they may not know how to show their appreciation. Fujitsu General America is
making it easy for everyone to participate, and we are grateful for their

Hemingway used to refer to the times when depression held him to the very brink of self-murder as "black ass days." Comments in the past week have brought this topic to the fore of our attention in a very personal way, and I feel compelled to address what is often taboo, but must be spoken.
A 1991 Canadian study looked at MS patients who died between 1972 and 1988 and found that people with multiple sclerosis died from suicide at a rate seven-and-a-half times higher than age-matched people in the general population. According to a 2005 Danish report, people with multiple sclerosis committed suicide at a rate twice as high as that in the general population. That study looked at 10,174 people in whom multiple sclerosis was diagnosed between 1953 to 1996; a significant finding was that the suicide rate was three times higher than in the general population in the first year after an MS diagnosis.
Keep in mind, however, that many of the people in these studies were diagnosed in the era before disease-modifying drugs were available.
We've discussed doctor-assisted or supported ways to end life on more than one occasion in these cyber pages. I see these two topics as very different!
Let me explain…
"Death with dignity" is what some call doctor-supported suicide (I say "supported" because many of the states that allow for this course of action do NOT allow any actual assistance by a doctor, or any other person, for that matter; this is the case in my state of Washington). The processes by which a person can end their life under these circumstances are well outlined and the patient's mental state is checked along the way.
Depression must be diagnosed and treated before end-of-life medications can be prescribed.
I have supported death-with-dignity laws for a long time. Not because I feel I need one, but rather because it might get "that bad." These laws can offer a peaceful hastening of an inevitable (and sometimes painful) end, and a way for family to help a dying loved one let go.
Suicide, on the other hand, I find to be a tragedy!
Alone, in pain, seeing no other options, and usually leaving a trail of suffering and blame behind them, suicides are forever a messy thing.
If, by some stroke of fortune, you are reading these words as you contemplate ending your life because of multiple sclerosis I implore you to stop!
Life may get "that bad" due to MS; I'm not saying anything contrary to that. If, however, you feel like it's so bad RIGHT NOW that your only way past it is out of it… and this hasn't been part of a plan you've shared with and constructed with those around you, STOP!
There are treatments and medications that can help you get past many of the things our disease flings at us, but not all of them.
Everyone has their limits; everyone has their "that's enough" point… I would not think to judge what those are for anyone. I only ask you to judge that for yourself (and those you would leave behind).
This topic has been burning my brain since it woke me for 3:00am. I don't know if I've done it justice, but I hope that our community will jump in and help expand the topic.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Your messy workspace is crimping your productivity. Your neighbor's kid is playing his tuba. You're lonely as hell. Head to the local beanery for a change of scenery. But don't forget these essential rules.
So, you've finally decided—or, through layoffs, been forced—to ditch that day job and join the ranks of full-time freelance writers. Good for you. No more bosses. No more neckties. No more staff meetings. Health insurance is for weenies!
Writing at home gets pretty boring pretty quickly. Coffee shops, on the other hand, get you out of the house so you can still pound out a story while retaining what remains of your social skills. Try these tips for getting the most out of working out of a coffeehouse.
1. Make sure there's free Wi-Fi
You'll need access to email, search engines, and reference sites. Few coffee shops these days don't offer it, but it's good to make sure before you plunk down to work.

FIFA Vice President Jack Warner resigned on Monday before the results of a bribery investigation came through, leading all ethics charges against him to be dropped.
Both Warner, 68, and Asian soccer chief Mohamed bin Hamman were suspended by the sport's governing body last month when American executive Chuck Blazer accused them of offering $40,000 in cash to Caribbean soccer officials during Hammam's bid for FIFA's president. Warner stepped down after some of the Carribean officials were interviewed by former FBI agents enlisted by FIFA for the investigation, according to The Associated Press.
In a statement, the Zurich-based organization said Warner, also a member of Parliament in Trinidad and Tobago, was immediately stepping down from all FIFA posts to focus on his political career and "on his important work on behalf of the people and government."
"FIFA regrets the turn of events that have led to Mr. Warner's decision. His resignation has been accepted by world football's governing body ... Mr. Warner is leaving FIFA by his own volition after nearly 30 years of service," the statement said.
Warner said he would continue to help with FIFA's wider corruption investigation, which includes the conduct of Bin Hammam, Bloomberg reports.
"I reaffirm my offer of cooperation with the FIFA ethics committee in the resolution of the ongoing investigations into alleged irregularities pertaining to the recent visit of Mohamed Bin Hammam to Port of Spain to meet with CFU [Carribean Football Union] delegates," Warner said in the letter.
Hammam quit the election just hours before he was officially suspended, and president Sepp Blatter, was re-elected unopposed, according to Bloomberg
Warner has been a FIFA executive since 1983. Seven years later, he was elected to lead the Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Assoication Football, or Concacaf.

If you are specifying a length in LaTeX, but do not specify the appropriate units, you will generate the error below:
main.tex, line 5
<to be read again> \vskip l.11 \vspace{6} Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc, cm, mm, dd, cc, nd, nc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one! I'll assume that you meant to say pt, for printer's points. To recover gracefully from this error, it's best to delete the erroneous units; e.g., type `2' to delete two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)
See here to learn more about lengths in LaTeX.
Forgetting to include the appropriate unit when specifying a length:
The most common cause of this error is simply forgetting to include a unit when specifying a length in LaTeX. An example of a mistake is shown below
The below image should be 5 centimetres wide \includegraphics[width=5]{image}
The mistake here is that the the width of the image is written as
width=5. LaTeX does not understand whether the image should be five inches, five metres, five millimetres etc. The correct specification is
width=5cm. This lets LaTeX know that the image should be five centimetres wide.
Using a unit which is not allowed in LaTeX:
Another common reason this error will appear is if you have used a unit which is not allowed in LaTeX. An example of this is shown below, where it was attempted to specify the image to be one foot wide:
The below image should be one foot wide \includegraphics[width=1ft]{image}
This will generate an error, as feet are not allowed units in LaTeX. The correct way to write this would be to write the image width as
width=12in, which gives a one foot wide image. Below a list of available units in LaTeX:
|a point is approximately 1/72.27 inch, that means about 0.0138 inch or 0.3515 mm (exactly point is defined as 1/864 of American printer's foot that is 249/250 of English foot)
|a millimeter
|a centimeter
|roughly the height of an 'x' (lowercase) in the current font (it depends on the font used)
|roughly the width of an 'M' (uppercase) in the current font (it depends on the font used)
|math unit equal to 1/18 em, where em is taken from the math symbols family
Having an unexpandable token in the wrong place
The above is actually a case of this. TeX parses lengths as any number of digits followed by an optional dot followed by any number of digits followed by an optional space followed by any valid unit. While TeX searches for a length it expands every expandable token (macro) until it finds the first unexpandable token.
Having a linebreak \\ followed by square brackets:If a linebreak command
\\ is ever followed by square brackets
[...], it will be taken as an optional argument, and thus a number with a unit will be expected inside the square brackets This is even true if there is whitespace and newlines between the
\\ and
[...] commands. This problem often appears in tables, as shown below:
\begin{tabular}{c|c} [t] & s\\ [I] & A\\ [m] & kg \end{tabular}
x. The correct way to write the above table is to include the square brackets inside curly braces
{...} as shown below or, if the grouping effects of the braces is undesirable, to put a
\relax before it:
\begin{tabular}{c|c} [t] & s\\ {[I]} & A\\\relax [m] & kg \end{tabular}
Using the subfigure package:
subfigure package is long outdated, and will generate a 'Illegal unit of measure' error when there is no error present. An example of this is shown below:
% In your preamble \usepackage{subfigure} % In the body of your document \begin{figure} \centering \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.3\textwidth} \includegraphics[scale=0.2]{image} \caption{A gull} \label{fig:gull} \end{subfigure}% \end{figure}
This will generate an error, as the subfigure package does not recognise
\textwidth as containg a unit, when it is in fact a predefined measurement (equivalent to the constant width of the total text block on a page). The way to resolve this is to use the more updated
subcaption package, which has replaced
subfigure. Writing the same code as above with
\usepackage{subcaption} in the preamble instead of
\usepackage{subfigure} will give the desired result without any error.

NotW bosses fight back over hacking claims
Never done nothin' or nothin'
Tory communications boss Andy Coulson has assured MPs that he played no part in either condoning or facilitating phone hacking while editor of the News of the World.
Coulson quit as NoTW editor in 2007 after the paper's royal correspondent, Clive Goodman, and a private investigator accomplice, Glen Mulcaire, were jailed for hacking into the voicemail inboxes of Royal aides. Coulson told the Commons' Culture and Media Committee of MPs on Tuesday that he resigned even though he didn't know about Goodman's illegal action, because as editor he bore "ultimate responsibility" for what his staff did.
"My instructions to the staff were clear - we did not use subterfuge of any kind unless there was a clear public interest in doing so," Coulson said. "They were to work within the PCC [Press Complaints Commission] code at all times."
He said he gave reporters freedom and resources to do their job and that he didn't micro-manage stories. Coulson further stated he never met Mulcaire and that payments made to the disgraced private eye, although large, didn't stand out as exceptional.
The Goodman mobile phone hacking scandal was reopened late last month after The Guardian reported that News International made payouts of £1m after getting sued by Gordon Taylor, head of the Professional Footballers' Association, and two others, since identified as PFA lawyers. The Guardian further alleged in a series of articles that 3,000 celebrities and sportspeople had their phones hacked, and that many journalists used private eyes to hunt for gossip by obtaining illegal access to driving records, police and tax databases.
Coulson denied knowing anything about either the paper's botched investigation into Taylor or the subsequent privacy breach settlement, which it emerged on Tuesday was approved by James Murdoch, News International's executive chairman. Proceedings took an odd turn when the former editor turned Tory spindoctor claimed that police warned his own mobile phone might have been hacked into earlier this month. Coulson told MPs there was more evidence that he'd been the victim of phone hacking than former deputy prime minster John Prescott, who complained loudly about alleged invasion of his privacy by NotW reporters when the story re-emerged earlier this month.
The Guardian produced copies of a contract between the NotW and private investigator Glen Mulcaire, as well as copies of emails containing transcripts of hacked voicemails when its journalists appeared before MPs last week.
However, current News of the World editor Colin Myler maintained there was no evidence of "systematic illegality" at the paper, sticking to the company line that Goodman was a rogue reporter acting illegally without the knowledge of management at Wapping. Myler said new safeguards had been established since the Goodman case to prevent further illegality.
"These [safeguards] include the introduction of strict protocols on cash payments, and on the level of justification, authorisation and auditing of cash payments," Myler said, the BBC reports. "Since I took over as editor, cash payments for stories and tip-offs have been reduced by between 82 per cent and 89 per cent," he added.
During a combative committee session, News International lawyer Tom Crone questioned whether Labour MP Tom Watson ought to be permitted to ask questions.
Watson is suing The Sun, which like the NotW is published by News International, for alleged libel. Committee chairman, Tory MP John Whittingdale, said he'd taken legal advise from the Speaker's office which cleared Watson's attendance.
News of the World managing editor Stuart Kuttner called foul on the presence of Tory MP Philip Davies on the committee over commentary he was made to the media on the case, arguing he'd pre-judged matters. Whittingdale said the Commons committee wasn't a court of law, where stricter rules on alleged bias apply, in allowing his colleague Davies to remain at the hearing.

We've had a few protests over our upcoming hiatus from the athlete run-in stories. We're flattered that you like them so much, and we promise they will be back after the new year. We just don't want to rely on them, that's all. We're still taking your great ones at firstname.lastname@example.com. So send 'em on over.
Today's last one is about everybody's favorite Spur — he's on the Spurs now, apparently — Nick Van Exel.
A few years back when I was living in Denver, I was at the local neighborhood liquor store grabbing a few beers to watch football. I was walking down towards the check out line when I noticed a guy with a cart full of Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Corona, and ton of florescent green bottles of what looked like some type of wine cooler. I started walking towards him, and he — Nick Van Exel — turned around with a huge grin on his face and looked at me looking at the green bottles. He said, "You need some of this...dis is the shit that makes all the girls horny!" I laughed and kept on walking.
Yeah, thanks, man ... but what was in the green bottles?

It All Adds Up
There's nothing like mealtimes to help us get creative and get together with people we love. Saving food does a lot more than just saving money – and every single slice of bread, potato and chicken breast saved makes a difference. It's good for our communities, our country and our planet, as well as our pockets.
Here in Scotland, many of us are already doing our bit to use more of the food we buy each week. Between us, we saved £92 million on our household budgets by reducing what we binned from our homes by 7% between 2009 and 2014. Not to mention saving 140,000 tonnes of CO2 a year - that's like saving the climate change emissions from driving around the world 14 times. Just imagine how much we will all save when we meet the 2025 Scottish Government food waste target of reducing food waste by 33%! So, keeping good food out of the bin really does make a difference.
What's next? How does it all add up? And how can we make sure we're working together to drive an even bigger change? Take a look at what others are doing and think about what you can do to make a difference where you live – from the people going the extra mile, to the schools doing their bit to inspire a new generation.
"Between us, we're saving £3.3 billion a year compared with 2007."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's volleyball team hits the road once again this weekend as it travels to Penn and Princeton for a pair of crucial Ivy League contests. The Crimson will first face the Quakers Friday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. before taking to the court against the Tigers Saturday, Oct. 19 at 5 p.m.
Both matches will be streamed live on the all-new Ivy League Digital Network. Live stats will also be available for each match at the links above.
Ivy League Digital Network

Subscribers to the network can watch matches both live and On-Demand at their convenience, and will have access to live and On-Demand content for all home Harvard athletics events throughout the duration of their subscription.
Follow Harvard Athletics on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to stay connected with all the breaking news from around Cambridge and to get inside access to your favorite Crimson programs.
Last Time Out
The Harvard women's volleyball team completed its weekend sweep of Cornell and Columbia Saturday afternoon by taking out the Lions in straight sets, 3-0, at the Malkin Athletic Center. The victory came by set scores of 25-16, 25-21 and 25-21.
With the win, Harvard has moved into a tie with Brown for second place in the Ivy League and moves to 6-1 at home on the year.
Caroline Walters matched her season-high of 11 kills and hit .500 on the night to help lead the attack. Kathleen Wallace also reached double-digits with 10 kills while Grace Weghorst contributed nine and Caroline Holte seven. Corinne Bain and Hannah Schmidt one again split the setting duties, dishing out 19 assists and 18 assists, respectively. Harvard's offense also benefited from seven service aces, including three from Bain to move her into a tie for fifth place on the program's single-season list.
Kristen Casey paced the defense with a season-high 21 digs as Columbia was held to a .131 hitting percentage. Bain notched eight digs to go with four blocks from Holte.
Where We Stand
Harvard heads into the weekend tied with Brown for second place in the Ivy League standings with a 3-2 conference mark. Yale sits atop the standings with a perfect 5-0 record while Penn, Cornell, Princeton and Columbia are all evenly matched at 2-3 for fourth place. A pair of victories this weekend for the Crimson over the Quakers and Tigers will help to separate the pack.
Home Court Advantage
With last weekend's sweep of Cornell and Columbia, Harvard has improved to 6-1 in the friendly confines of the Malkin Athletic Center. This marks the team's best home record since 2004, when the squad won six straight to begin the year en route to a 7-1 record at the MAC.
The Crimson women have posted a 19-10 record at home over the past three years while the men's team has gone 25-7.
Serving Up Aces
Freshman Corinne Bain has recorded 35 aces on the year, tying her for fifth place on Harvard's single-season list and putting her just six shy of Lolita Lopez's '98 school record of 41. Bain currently ranks fourth in the NCAA with 0.63 aces per set while the Crimson as a team ranks 37th (1.54).
Harvard scored 13 aces in a straight set victory over UMass Lowell, marking the most aces for a Crimson squad since 2003, the last year for which match-by-match statistics are available. Bain single-handedly tallied seven aces in the victory, again the most for the Crimson since 2003.
Tripling Up
Freshman Corinne Bain recorded the first known triple-double in Harvard history when she led the Crimson with 15 kills, 33 assists and 11 digs at Brown. Bain finished the evening with a .333 hitting percentage, and rounded out her stat line with three block assists and four aces.
Bain owns a team-best seven double-doubles on the year and has just missed out on a triple-double three times, including her collegiate debut when she turned in 10 kills, 31 assists and nine digs.
High Percentage
Kathleen Wallace hit a career-high .778 in the team's 3-1 victory at Boston College, registering 15 kills on 18 attempts with just one error. Wallace's 15 kills were one short of her career-high of 16, set last season against Middle Tennessee State, while her hitting percentage topped her previous best of .667 set last year against Providence (12-0-18).
Wallace currently ranks 13th in the Ivy League with a .267 hitting percentage while classmate Caroline Holte is fifth with a .322 mark. As a team, the Crimson ranks third in the conference with a .200 percentage and has hit over .300 in a match three times this season.
Protecting the Net
Harvard dominated the net in its first two matches of the season, posting 17 total blocks against both Holy Cross and Hofstra. The Crimson has turned in double-digit blocking totals five times this year after having done so nine times last season.
Caroline Holte posted a career-high 12 blocks in the team's 3-1 win over Hofstra, marking the most blocks in a match for Harvard since Sandra Lynne Fryhofer '12 totaled 13 at Georgia State on Sept. 3, 2011.
Caroline Wallace ranks fourth in the Ivy League with 1.02 bps with Holte's 0.98 bps putting her sixth in the conference. Harvard has combined for 2.18 bps as a team, the best average among the Ivies, while the Crimson's .183 opponent hitting percentage ranks second in the league.
2013 Double-Doubles
Career Double-Doubles
Feeling Honored
Grace Weghorst earned Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors on Sept. 24, marking the second time in three weeks the award was bestowed upon the Crimson. Weghorst helped Harvard to a 2-1 week with a team-high 2.62 kps. One of those victories came at Boston College, a foe the Crimson had not beaten since 2002, when Weghorst turned in a career-high 11 kills with five digs and two aces.
Coming Out Party
Corinne Bain was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week on Sept. 9 after leading the Crimson to a 2-0 record at the eighth annual Harvard Invitational.
Bain made an immediate impact in her collegiate debut as the Crimson came from behind for a 3-2 win over Holy Cross. The freshman finished with 10 kills, 31 assists and nine digs, narrowly missing out on a triple-double. She also scored three aces and three blocks against the Crusaders while hitting .333. Bain and her teammates returned to the court the following day to defeat Hofstra, 3-1, thanks in part to her eight-kill, 28-assist, nine-dig effort which also included four aces and three blocks.
Fast Start
Harvard opened the year with a 4-2 mark, marking the program's best record to start a season under head coach Jennifer Weiss, who is in her 21st year at the helm, and equaling the program's best start since going 7-1 to open the 1984 campaign.
Corinne Bain (2.00 kps, 6.56 aps, 2.00 dps), Kathleen Wallace (2.22 kps, .255 hitting percentage) and Caroline Walters (1.33 bps, 1.78 kps) were each named to the Harvard Invitational All-Tournament Team after guiding the Crimson to a pair of wins. Wallace and Walters were also named to the all-tourney team a year ago while Bain, a freshman, received the honor for the first time.
Wallace earned all-tournament recognition at the Holiday Inn Mission Valley Aztec Invitaitonal after notching 2.15 kps while hitting .299 on the weekend.
Scouting Penn (8-8, 2-3 Ivy)
Penn is tied with Cornell, Princeton and Columbia for fourth place in the Ivy League with an 8-8 overall record and 2-3 conference mark after splitting its matches last weekend at Yale and Brown. Despite ranking in the bottom half of the conference in all statistical categories, the Quakers own a 3-1 record when playing at home in the Palestra.
Penn boasts a balanced attack led by Kristen Etterbeek (2.41 kps) and Jasmine DeSilva (2.34 kps). Alex Caldwell and Ronnie Bither have shared the setting duties, dishing out 5.78 aps and 4.76 aps, respectively. Alexis Genske sports a team-best 3.31 dps with Arielle Winfield's 0.72 bps leading the way at the net.
Penn has dominated the all-time series between the teams, 42-11, but Harvard has won three of the last four meetings between the teams. The Crimson and Quakers split last year's series with each team winning at home, while Harvard took both matches from Penn in 2011.
Scouting Princeton (6-9, 2-3 Ivy)
Coming off a pair of losses last week at Brown and Yale, Princeton enters the weekend tied with Penn, Cornell and Columbia for fourth place in the Ivy League with a 6-9 overall record and 2-3 conference mark. Princeton's attack ranks fourth in the conference with 12.26 kps and a .198 hitting percentage, but its defense has allowed a league worst .230 opponent hitting percentage.
Kendall Peterkin leads the Ivy League with 3.59 kps while Cara Mattaliano ranks third with 3.13 kps. Lauren Miller has dished out 8.00 aps, good for third in the conference. Defensively, Nicole Kincade sports a 1.10 bps average which ranks her second in the Ancient Eight with Sarah Daschbach's 3.74 dps putting her fourth.
Princeton owns a 48-10 advantage in its all-time series with Harvard and has won each of the last four meetings between the schools. The Crimson has not won in New Jersey since 2002.
Welcome Back
Harvard returns 10 letterwinners to the court in 2013 including co-captains Kristen Casey and Natalie Doyle. Casey, who played outside hitter as a freshman but made the transition to libero as a sophomore, will return to the outside as a six-rotation player for the Crimson. Doyle, meanwhile, will be relied upon in the back row after averaging 2.39 dps a year ago.
Also returning for the Crimson is Caroline Walters (1.06 bps), an All-Ivy League second team performer in 2012, Erin Cooney (2.14 kps), Caroline Holte (1.00 bps), Hannah Schmidt (4.78 aps), Teresa Skelly (0.88 bps) and Kathleen Wallace (2.81 kps).
New To The Scene
Earlier this summer, head coach Jennifer Weiss announced the addition of five freshmen for 2013; Corinne Bain, Whitney Hansen, Jane Labanowski, Danielle Leavitt and Grace Weghorst. This group, which represents California, Florida and Texas, has combined for three state championships, eight district championships and seven league championships.

On The Sidelines
Head coach Jennifer Weiss returns for her 21st season at the helm of the Harvard women's volleyball program. Weiss owns a 251-293 record on the sidelines and guided Harvard to its only Ivy League championship in 2004. She has mentored 48 All-Ivy honorees, five Ivy League Rookie of the Year recipients and coached the program's first two-time Ivy League Player of the Year in Kaego Ogbechie '05.
Weiss is joined this season by first-year assistants Arturo Rivera and Jeffrey Aucoin.

Inspired by the lusty, busty pin ups from the '70s, John designed the Raquel for that 'nature knows best' look. Hidden platforms for comfort, custom roller buckles for fit adjustment, tunite heel lifts and soles, and an additional serrated rubber topy for traction combine to provide better support than an unzipped polyester jumpsuit.

In Christ, Alone: Most Believers Say They Don't Need Others for Discipleship
(Worthy News) - Over the past decade, more believers are heeding the scriptural call to "grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior"—but they're often doing discipleship on their own.
A wide-ranging survey by LifeWay Research found that while US Christians had made improvements in areas like reading their Bibles daily, prioritizing obedience to Christ, and avoiding temptation, their connections with fellow Christians have weakened.
Hispanic and African American churchgoers may represent an exception to the overall trend, showing even greater progress in discipleship while deepening community ties. [ Source: Christianity Today (Read More...) ]

Credit union total assets passed the $1 trillion mark for the first time in March 2012, ending the month at $1.02 trillion, according to CUNA's economics and statistics department.
Overall, assets grew 2.4% during March and 4.1% over the past year. Credit union assets have more than doubled since year-end 2000.
Reaching $1 trillion in assets is an impressive feat—but one that demands perspective, says CUNA Senior Economist Steve Rick.
JP Morgan Chase Bank, for instance, has $1.8 trillion in assets, and banking industry assets total $13.9 trillion.
The average bank has $1.9 billion in assets, versus $137 million for credit unions. The median-sized credit union, however, has just $19 million in assets, Rick says.
According to the Rule of 72, credit union assets could reach $2 trillion in slightly more than 14 years, Rick says.
Other measures:
• Loans. Credit union loans outstanding remained constant during March 2012, after a 0.2% decrease in February. Fixed-rate mortgages led loan growth with a 1.5% increase, followed by used auto loans, 0.8%, and new auto loans, 0.2%.
On the decline were unsecured personal loans (1.2%), adjustable-rate mortgages (1.1%), home equity loans (1%), and credit cards (0.7%).
• Savings. Credit union savings balances grew 2.5% in March compared to a 2.1% increase in February.
Growth was highest in share drafts, at 6.9%, followed by regular shares, 4.7%, money market accounts, 1.9%, and individual retirement accounts, 1.5%.
One-year certificates declined 0.6% during March.
• Asset quality. Credit unions' 60+ day delinquency rate dropped from 1.6% to 1.5%.
• Liquidity. The loan-to-savings ratio fell from 68% in February to 66% in March.
The liquidity ratio (the ratio of surplus funds maturing in less than one year to borrowings plus other liabilities) grew from 21% to 22% during this time.
• Capital. The movement's overall capital-to-asset ratio remained at 10%. The total dollar amount of capital is $102 billion.
