O'Malley: State Assessing Severe Storm Damage
Primary concerns are high heat coupled with more severe weather expected late this afternoon and evening and restoring power to 800,000 people.
UPDATED (2:19 p.m.)—Gov. Martin O'Malley said state officials are assessing damage across Maryland in the wake of a severe line of thunderstorms that has knocked out power to more than 820,000 customers statewide.
In a conference call with reporters, the governor and other state officials said they are assessing the need for cooling centers as the state faces expected severe hot weather over the next several days.
Power restoration is also a priority as emergency management officials say they are tracking a line of severe storms that are expected to hit the state as early as late Saturday afternoon.
"The utilities are taking the lead on this and the counties are supporting them," O'Malley said. "We're helping [the counties]."
Across Maryland there are still more than 800,000 customers without power including more than 400,000 in the BGE service area.
BGE and PEPCO officials said that power restoration "will be a multiday effort."
Residents were warned about downed power lines and taking breaks from the heat while cleaning up storm debris.
In Anne Arundel County, a man was killed when tree fell on an SUV in Edgewater Friday night, according to Edgewater-Davidsonville Patch.
Montgomery County police said a 71-year-old woman's body was discovered Saturday morning when Fire and Rescue personnel responded to a call for a tree down on a home in the 10000 block of Grant Avenue in Silver Spring.
She was apparently killed when a large Maple tree fell through the roof and onto her bed, according to Kensington Patch.
A PEPCO official said there was one death in northern Washington, DC related to touching a downed power line.
State officials hope to update power restoration efforts in a few hours.
"A number of substations are coming back on line in the next few hours and we'll have a better grasp of things," O'Malley said.
State transportation Secretary Beverley Swaim-Staley told reporters that state highway crews are focusing most of their efforts in Charles and Montgomery counties, where the bulk of the traffic light outages are.
State officials are also rerouting some bus routes to account for roads blocked by downed trees.
The Chesapeake Bay Bridge was re-opened today after being closed for four hours during the storm Friday night when high winds pushed an 18-wheel truck into a barrier.

The power companies are losers. take forever to restore power each time. Last storm we were out for 6 days...BGE. needs to trim trees in and near lines that keep falling on the lines...do your job BGE!
1:24 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012
THEY ARE!!!! Some left there families, still without power to work as the storm was ending, they are working in extreme heat, tired, and who knows when they will be home. As for the trees, I have seen alot of tree removal lately but u cant take out the woods.....really??? I know its hot but give them a break!!!! I would love all the crews to come home safely....

Leave BGE alone. They are working extremely hard to restore the power in the Maryland. If you think you could do any better stop criticizing, apply for a lineman's position and then go out in the storms and reinstall energized lines. Also instead of complaining, plan for these events so you are prepared. And I'll bet you are one of those people who complains about the tree trimming BGE does and tries to block their efforts.

At Times of emergency such as this, Human Meter readers are pressed into service to help remediate the situation and resore power.
Now that the BGE Wizards are rolling out the SMART GRID/METERS and are fixing to get the meter readers off the payroll, I would like them to explain here, how the smart meters are going to help them with the claim that they keep making, that SMART METERS will notify the utility ASAP when there is a power outtage!

Chris you sound like O'Malley. He's going to kick their a** if they don't get the power on. . Gov this was a storm of storms. How many of us wanted to go to Annapolis and kick your a** when you and Mike and Mike played all session with crappy bills and waited until the last days to get a budget done. And you still had to go back into session. Take care of your own house and let BG&E do their job.
6:32 am on Tuesday, July 3, 2012
BGE and Omalley don't know which end is up. Not even one bge truck seen anywhere in maryland by the many people i talked to yet thousands without power. All refrigeratoed food & med's tossed out.. Had sparking wires on my street til tuesday early morning. We all called BGE, police, State emergency crews etc and nobody came. Bordered our woods.. Its just a good thing the trees/woods remained wet or it would of been a helluva fire.. Gould lied like hell when he said they worked all weekend. He didn't want to call in bge workers and pay them double time so he ordered many from out of town companies. Cheaper at our expense. Who will pay for all the food lost. Who will pay for hospital care for those overcome by the heat and lost refrigerated meds? Omalley you really make bad choices.. Did you allow your new americans to work this crises?
1:15 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012
Right Chris, you want them to keep a staff on hand to be able to return power within 24 hours probably but then do not want to pay the increased electric rates that would result. Cut them some slack.

We deserve a break. Pepco has the lowest satisfaction ratings of any power utility in the country. They have and continue to request more money to provide reliable power delivery. No one should apologize for telling the truth which is pepco has a history of poor performance. Regardless of the platitudes people provide after a storm about the hard work, or the effort required to return service, pepco does nothing to make the long term infrastructure improvements required to provide superior service. They suck.
Brian Zongker
1:42 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012

Brian they already asked and received that rate increase twice. But interesting point. I repeat they have a history of poor performance and customer complaints that is over six years old at this point. They are also a utility which means on the delivery side they have no competition. Public complaints are the only thing that provides an incentive for them to improve.

Walmart & Target in Germantown have power; the whole complex, including PetSmart and more, is up and running. I ran out for some supplies around 8pm and it was busy, but not a madhouse. Camping supplies such as stoves and airbeds running low, I assume the beds were for people taking in extra guests who lack power. Remember any lights out are 4-way stops--some people are blowing through them and have seen several near-misses. Stay safe, good luck, hope this helps!

some homeowners need to take resaponsibility to trim their trees back if over grown near bge boxes so they have access in emergencies especially if located on your property guess that is a lot to ask for like these whiney people asking to getting power restored after a terrible storm that hit in the dead of night have their power restored when ithey snap their fingers i guess these people at work get their work completed just as prompt as they expectbge to restore 400,000 people in less than 24 hours these men an women are workig in this awful weather while we sit at the pool in a resturant at home with a fan etc maybe the ones who whine should volunteer their help to bge then they would know how time consuming it is and how hard the bge people are working but as our wonderful world is get it done NOW NOT ONE SECOND LATER AND DO IT FOR FREE people need to stop putting blame on bge the county the state hell people look at some of the un-kept areas behind homes on waugh chapel over grown weeds grass trees an who knows what covering road signs making our community look run down yes the county should trim your over growth from signs but shouldn't you as homewners take pride in being a homeowner pride in your property and where you live bad enough property values are down do we have to have our neighborhood look run down

Here's an idea. If you live somewhere that the power goes out often, buy a generator. I also agree on the tree part. I called bge when i moved into my house and asked them about trimming treebin my front yard, the response i got was not friendly though. The lady told me that they have schedule and my neighborhood was not on it. Instead of arguing, i went to the store and bought a tree trimmer and did it myself. Take action dont just sit there and complain when someone working 20 hour shifts aren't working hard enough.
Zoe Cat

Gee not all places allow someone to have a generator but you are so typical of the "I got mine (F) You" mentality.
Yep you are comfortable and are taking joy in other people's pain. What a nice person.
3:05 pm on Saturday, June 30, 2012
You know what not everyone is able to afford or a generator, nor may they be capable of taking tree limbs down. So, I resent you saying some people just sit and complain. If you're such a bid deal why don't you offer your services to those less "fortunate" than you are. I mean ... really, you have some nerve!

Fact is: People argue about property rights and keeping it 100% private and off the grid from the state; yet, when a tree falls in their yard and crushes a power line, car, fence or house they start screaming for the state to come onto their property and fix the problem ASAP. Very hypocritical!

Any tree rooted on your property is 100% your ownership and responsibility, by law. The clearing of branches by BGE along major roads and such is technically a favor to landowners. They are preparing for the exact situation which hit last night. However, lightening strikes on trees, power lines, ect... cannot be controlled, obviously.

After reading so many comments about the latest outages, the frustration is not directed at the work crews assessing and restoring power. The problem is with the infrastructure of the power grid. Why is it that for the 25 years my husband and I lived in NYC area, for example, we had just one, yes one power outage that lasted one, yes one day. The NYC grid is mega compared to DC and its surrounds. In the 11 years we have lived in Montgomery County we have experienced at least one power outage a year BUT in the past 4 years the number and duration of these outages has skyrocketed. We are in community with underground powerlines. Our home in NYC was in a heavily wooded area with above ground lines. Problems with the Pepco grid? What do you think? Power reliability within the Nation's Capital surrounds, in my opinion, is equivalent to Third World country service. Honestly, there needs to be some serious reassessment of this grid. Yes, we can all go back to creating fires with flint stones and become hunters and gatherers once again. Fine...at least we would not be paying Pepco power service. Excuses abound but actions and effective restoration plans are needed. The Washington DC grid is an embarrassment.

There's no real reason to invest in upgrading the system. The millions that it costs over time for BG&E crews to constantly fix everything after storms just gets tacked onto our bills. They don't pay for it - we do. If it came out of their pocket, upgrades would have started 20 years ago.

BGE should be more prepared for emergency situations. The fact is that they were not, and there is some question as to how restoration was prioritized. Much of the City did not get attended to until Monday, including senior facilities, and there are still folks here without power. O'Malley granted BGE a rate increase last December for infrastructure improvement, which we have been paying for and for which we've not seen improvement in services. So let's be real here - BGE should be more prepared for situations like this. Yes, the men and women who are working the lines are working hard, and are working in crappy conditions. I appreciate that, but this is their job, it's part of what they signed up for. If you see them out working, offer them a cold bottle of water or whatever they need to make them more comfortable, but know that they are doing their job. I'm not upset with the line workers, I'm ticked at the corporate entity that is the only ticket in town for service, that we rely on for just about every need in our lives, that each one of us pays thousands to each year, and which can't seem to get its act together in an emergency. BGE's customers deserve better. This was not the first Derecho to hit Maryland, just like last year's storm wasn't the first, and whatever storms to come won't be anything BGE hasn't dealt with before. Weather is not new, nor is the lack of preparation from BGE.
8:28 am on Tuesday, July 3, 2012
I heard a very interesting piece of information on the radio yesterday, which might explain why it seems to be taking so long to restore power.
Last summer, after hurricaine Irene, there were approx. 750,000 lost power over 48 - 60 hours. Since the hurricanie was anticipated, BGE had already brought in hundreds if not a thousand or more extra technicians, with their trucks and equipment, put them up in hotels to await the storm.
This time, something like 600,000 lost power in 2 hours. It was not anticipated, so it has taken some time to get the extra hands here.
Also, if you saw any of the news coverage on the clean-up, there are thousands of large trees, which must be removed very carefully, so as to avoid any additional damage to existing houses, walls, phone/cable wires etc. that might be under the trees. The trees don't just fall onto flat fields.
So it would help if everybody kept their nasty thoughts under control. If you have power, see what you can do to help someone without. If you don't have power, I'm sorry, please take care.
Hats off to the workers doing this strenuous work in the sweltering conditions we now have.

I heard some more stuff about the storm itself.
NOAA released some statements on the storm. They are saying this was a hundred year storm of this kind. Very, very rare. It formed suddenly in Iowa and moved across dozens of states within a few hours. The whole time building steam and size. The killer aspect of the storm was: 1) Extremely fast moving 2) Extremely high atmospheric temps 3) Very fast moving jet stream 4) The higher dew point levels on the east coast
All of these factors combined to make the perfect thunderstorm with winds 80+ mph. When the storm hit the east coast it was like a plow on a truck. The pressure and winds were pressed downwards towards the ground.
NOAA also said, "its was impossible to be prepared for such a storm".

Oh, Al, I am so sorry for derailing your rant! I am also sorry for your discomfort, and wish I could help. But sometimes, the truth just has to come out.
The storms were caused by a Dereche (certainly an illegal hispanic), which usually are stopped, or at least broken up by the Appalachian Mountains as they travel very quickly from the west. This time, however, the weather was so hot here that it just poured over the mountains and hit us full force. This weather pattern is also responsible for dust storms in the west and midwest, as their weather as of late has been very dry.
Call it global warming, call it climate change, but I'm afraid we are in for more of the same in the future.

Troubled Troubadours – 27 Tales From The Dark & Strange Side Of The Tracks 1965 to 1973Various
CD (Item 497197) Omni (Australia), Late 60s/Early 70s — Condition: New Copy
A batch of late 60s & early 70s Nashville nuggets that turn honky tonk and Nashville Sound cliches on their ear – 27 tales from cult heroes, unjustly overlooked singer/songwriters and some of the stranger material from past, current, or soon to be superstars! It's fascinating, compelling, flat out fun stuff regardless of the bleakness of some of the subject matter. Marty Robbins turns death row into a string laden, sweetly soaring paradise, Waylon Jennings sounds more like The Animals than a hardcore outlaw country pioneer, Dolly Parton sings about heartbreak interpreted as insanity, Lorene Man sings a Chet Atkins produced/Jordanaires backed weeper about abortion and those are but a few examples! Includes strange, but, hummable numbers by Porter Wagoner, Henson Cargill, Homer & Jethro, Roger Miller, Bobby Bare, Burl Ives, Lester Flatt, Stonewall Jackson and others. 27 tracks in all: "The Chair" by Marty Robbins, "Delia's Gone" by Waylon Jennings, "The Bridge" by Dolly Parton, "The Animal Of Man" by Roger Miller, "Teddy Bear Song" by Norma Jean, "Four Chrome Wheels" by Trooper Jim Foster, "Your Credit Card Won't Get You Into Heaven" by Bobby Bare, "The TImes They Are A Changin" by Burl Ives, "I Crept Into The Crypt And Cried" by Homer & Jethro and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I got myself a used NXE pack on Craigslist for $20 and it's been great. NXE makes great stuff for the price, and I would definitely buy used if you are on a budget.

Ans has an nxe 4 pack for 22 I just ordered one. It should be here on the 7th that's the best deal I could find while still having quality in mind. It comes with 4 free pods also. Which is nice. Brand new is always good.
Posted 03 November 2012 - 01:54 PM
nXe, valken, empire, and critical all make great packs. I have owned 1 of each, and liked them all. Personally, the critical is the most comfortable though.
Posted 04 November 2012 - 07:42 AM
lol i still use my JT Slammer pack, and ANS has them for like 15 bucks new
Posted 05 November 2012 - 11:12 AM
An NxE pack will last you as long as you play if you treat it right. It'll fit you no matter how fat you get as well
Posted 05 November 2012 - 03:07 PM
You can find a lot of good, lightly used pod packs for around 40 shipped in BSTs, Just keep your eyes open and look around.

Jet fuel prices continue to rise
Although airlines have seen a 5.6% increase in revenues in the third quarter of 2012 compared with the same time last year, Heimlich said that the 10 largest Unites States airlines have also faced costs that are 6.2% higher, reducing profits to a margin of 0.2% -- or about 50 cents per passenger.
Without passengers paying an average of $8 each in ancillary fees on domestic, round-trip tickets, airlines would have been losing money, Heimlich said in a morning conference call.
The price of jet fuel is a key factor in higher costs, he said. It has averaged $3.08 per gallon, more than last year's record high of $3 per gallon.
Airlines have cut the number of flights and grounded some aircraft to reduce expenses. Those cuts in domestic service are likely to continue into the new year, with Airlines for America predicting a 2.4% cut in the number of domestic airline flights and a 1.3% cut in the number of domestic airline seats for the first quarter of 2013, compared with the first quarter of 2012.

This device painlessly decongests sinus cavities to improve your breathing and mitigate sinus discomfort without medication. Developed by an ear, nose, and throat specialist, the system uses the same principles as jala neti, a millennia-old Indian yogic tradition in which a neti pot is used to pour a saline solution through nasal passages, removing mucus build-up caused by allergies, colds, the flu, or sinusitis. More effective than jala neti and painless, the unit delivers a gentle, low-pressure pulsating stream of saline that irrigates sinuses. Clinical tests proved the pulsating stream facilitates the movement of sinus cilia--microscopic "hairs" that move like oars to rid sinuses of mucus--that are slowed by post-nasal drip and sinusitis. Fill the reservoir with warm water and the included saline mix (or table salt), place your head over a sink, and insert the wand's nozzle inside a nostril. The solution flows in one nostril and out the other, removing nasal impurities in the process. Use once a day for one to two minutes. Plugs into AC. 7" H x 6 3/4" W x 5 3/4" L. (3 lbs.)

Ahhhh, relief.
By Breathing Easy
from The Americas
The sinus relief system is great. It is easy to use and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. My physician suggested trying sinus rinsing as part of my daily routine to deal with my chronic sinusitis, and it does prevent the need for steroidal nasal sprays. This winter I also had two sinus colds and am now in the midst of the spring allergy system. In the past I have gone through bottle after bottle of drugstore sinus rinses and have made my own saline solution to refill the bottles or use with a neti pot. The sinus relief system is quicker and easier to use than the neti pot or plastic squeeze bottles and the gentle controlled stream is very effective. I use it daily before bed to reduce the symptoms of chronic sinusitis and three times per day if I have a cold or feel my allergies beginning. (When I get up in the morning, when I get home from work and in the evening before bed.) I no longer use steroidal nasal spray, I no longer snore, and I no longer have a chronic cough from post nasal drip. Sinus rinsing made my life better and the Sinus Relief System from Hammacher Schlemmer is a better way to rinse.

Just what I was looking for
By Tina
from CT
I have battled tonsil stones for a long time and just could not clean them out. This product gets them out of my tonsils and leaves my breath fresh. The only drawback is that when I use it for sinus irrigation, I find it difficult not to swallow as an instinctual motion (not swallowing liquid, just the motion of swallowing) and it leaves my ears feeling like the pressure is not balanced. Take a few days to correct itself. Otherwise great product!

Sinus relief
By Joel
from San Francisco, ca
I had a runny nose for 2 months and self diagnosed it as dust mite allergy, hoping this device would solve the problem. So far it has not helped. I used it with lukewarm water and a teaspoon of salt. The device is very comfortable to use.
Love it!
By Kadels
from Dallas, TX
I LOVE this product. It works great. I have used other sinus irrigation systems, and this is by far the best. I have allergies, have had sinus infections, and even a sinus surgery, and was so glad I had this. Regular use seriously diminishes my allergies (unfortunately I'm not always so diligent).
I liked it!
By Katy
from Ontario, Canada
I found this product really effective. I really like it. I am using it every day.
I would purchase as a gift.
By Phil

A well designed and effective tool to alleviate sinus congestion. It was worth the purchase.

I'm looking to find a free program that allows me to edit my images. Ones I have used so far are very limited, so if you have any ideas please let me know. Thanks Rachel |
GIMP and Paint.net are two very good ones, as John has pointed out. While somewhat limited, Picasa and iPhoto are two other alternatives (the latter being Mac only), which are pretty good. |
There are a few, but two of the best are: The Gnu Image Manipulation Program (quite powerful) Paint.NET (not as powerful as the GIMP, but very good) |
XnView. It is good because it is also a photo organizer, has batch editing, scripts etc. Regularly updated. |
I want to put in a a plug for picasa. I know it's simple, and doesn't adequately "respect the RAW," but it gives me good results for web-based viewing or smallish snapshots (I'm not sure I would want to blow up the prints, but I haven't tried it). What I really like about Picasa is the ease of use: the controls help you see the changes as you go, and give you a good sense of what they do. Just for making your pictures look better on screen, it does a great job. |
I haven't tried it myself, but Adobe offers a free online editor at photoshop.com I assume it's not as cool as their for-pay software, but maybe worth checking out. |
If you need to edit raw files consider also RawTherapee or Photivo (wich works also with some not raw file type) |
I have to agree with everything that's been said so far. I've been using Picasa considerably and find it to be great for working with simple edits and jpeg images. Lately I've been using a demo version of Lightroom 3 to see if it might fit my needs better (but it's expensive-ish). Generally new Nikon and Canon cameras come with their own software, like View NX http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Imaging-Software/NVNX/ViewNX.html for Nikon. Canon also seems to have lots of free tools for viewing and tweaking their RAW format. |
I really like Microsoft Office Picture Manager...Simple, fast, and just some basic tools for those who don't need a full blown program. |
I started from Picasa, later moved to GIMP. I love working in GIMP and there is plenty of GIMP tutorials on the web which is very helpful. |

Perfect DVD drive for Macbook Air Users

Useful Drive
I have a MacBook Pro and you have to have one of these things because the new model MacBook is too thin to have one internally. Personally I could do with a computer that's a little bit thicker, but this thing isn't that expensive and in my experience works well. I've not burned any disks but have used the drive to install software and watch DVDs. Works fine for these two purposes. …

By Car
via Autobahn A29 until the exit WILHELMSHAVENER KREUZ (WHV-Süd).
At Wilhelmshavener Kreuz (5) towards the direction Wilhelmshaven. At the 4th traffic light turn right and follow the Peterstrasse (follow the sign "Bahnhof").
Follow the PETERSTRASSE until you see the theatre on the left side. Then turn right into the VIRCHOWSTRASSE and follow the signs BAHNHOF. Pass the shopping centre with the bus station and turn left at the traffic light into the EBERTSTRASSE pass DEWI's office building and turn right to the DEWI-yard. Ring at the orange box left of the barrier to enter the parking area.
By Plane / Train
The next airport from DEWI is Bremen/Germany (BRE), which is about 100 km away from Wilhelmshaven. Between Bremen Airport ("Flughafen Bremen") and the main railway station ("Bremen Hauptbahnhof") the tram No. 6 is going. The tram stop is located directly at the airport exit, about 50 metres from the check-in desks of the airlines. During the main travel times the trams run every 10 minutes. A single ticket costs € 1.85. The journey from the airport to the main railway station takes about 17 minutes.
Get a ticket to Wilhelmshaven. You have to go to Oldenburg, which takes about 30 minutes, and leave the train there (some trains at the day goes directly to Wilhelmshaven - don't leave the train). The next train going to Wilhelmshaven normally goes a few minutes later from the same platform, opposite site, and takes about 45 minutes. Wilhelmshaven is the last station.
You should leave the railway station Wilhelmshaven through the doors at right hand sides and will find the street named "Ebertstrasse" directly in front of the stations' exit. You directly will see the Hotel Valois in the opposite, located at the corner of the Ebertstrasse and a place called "Valoisplatz". To come to DEWI follow the Ebertstrasse in left hands direction and pass a crossroads with traffic lights. DEWI is located directly at the corner (about 300 m from the stations' exit).

The Great River
By: Budgeford
Region content is the backbone of The Lord of the Rings Online™. What would our game be without a landscape to explore, monsters to kill and quests to reward you for your tireless efforts? This content is the primary way to advance your character, and everything else in the game is arguably extra. (It's all still very important, but extra nonetheless.)
New art assets for this zone began pouring in not long ago, and we had the pleasure of watching the formation of an entirely new territory in Middle-earth. The Great River not only offers something fresh-feeling and new, but also some fairly epic eye candy. This region delivers the first established Rohirrim-run town, a settlement called Stangard, with interiors and exteriors unlike all others in the game. As you roam through this zone, you will likely feel a rekindling of your early sensations as an explorer of Middle-earth.
The Purpose of the Great River
We occasionally release updates that contain interim regions between major expansions. The Great River is an example this interim regional content, much like Enedwaith or Lothlórien. Enedwaith was a taste of Dunland before the Rise of Isengard expansion came out, and the Great River is a little taste of what's to come in Rohan.
The devs here always have many, many things going on at once, so while half of us are in pre-production for exciting things to come, the other half works on making sure the game feels alive and vibrant between major releases. If you've been with us for a while, you may notice that our releases between expansions offer all kinds of things: instance clusters, raids, festival updates, end-game regions such as the Great River, etc. These content types are meant to cater to all of the types of players we expect to see in our game: casual gamers, soloers, groupers, and the hardcore audience. While folks may get frustrated when an update comes out with nothing to cater to their preferred style of gameplay, chances are high that there's another team of devs right in the middle of building something to look forward to.
Our hope is that the interim regions will scratch the "Gimme something new!!!" itch for a lot of player types. The Great River is a level 75 end-game region, designed mostly for solo or duo gameplay.
For solo and duo players, there is a new reputation faction with notably better barter items than the rep stuff found in the Rise of Isengard release. Quests will also give upgrades to the level 75 quest rewards found in Dunland/Isengard. There is plenty of content to help you earn these rewards without having to grind, and that's a major goal of these interim region updates: keeping things fresh.
If you prefer to do more challenging content in groups, there is a new landscape division just for you: the Limlight Gorge. There is a separate reputation faction just for the brave folks who want to tempt their fate against terrifying trolls and enraged huorns, with higher-end loot to barter when you earn rep with that area.
There is also a long-term benefit to having regions such as this in the game, even if it doesn't directly contribute to leveling your capped character at this time. For non-capped people still going through the game for the first time or on an alt, this will be prime content for getting those last couple of levels. These zones are wonderful alternatives to the longer regions in expansion packs; there's nothing quite as satisfying as getting high enough level in the tunnels of Moria to go out into the sunlight of Lothlórien. Progress through Middle-earth becomes much more exciting when you have diverse alternatives, and the Great River will likely be a welcome change of pace to anyone who hasn't finished the Dunland/Isengard content yet.
Process of Region Development
In case you're interested in a little look into our process, feel free to keep reading!
In the beginning, a really crude map is made, and the terrain is loosely built by one of our most senior worldbuilders (who happens to also be our main Tolkien expert). This ugly, unhelpful map (no offense to he who made it) is shown to the region content developers, usually while they're still very much immersed in other work. This is our first glimpse into what we'll be doing over the next few months. This part of the process is always so strange, because we're generally so distracted when this is going on due to our full attention being fixed on another feature.
Awesome ugly map, right?
At this first stage, we all try to call dibs on the divisions we want to make based SOLELY on this crude map. Usually we're yelling over each other like a bunch of kids fighting over candy. "I want the swamp!" "I want the one with the creepy name!" "Please not the Brown Lands!" Before long, we're all assigned to our divisions.
Over the coming weeks, our amazing worldbuilder/Tolkien-expert holds a very large meeting for our whole team and gives us an impressively thorough verbal Tolkeinpedia presentation from memory, explaining anything and everything Tolkien ever recorded regarding some of these very remote areas. We all really enjoy these meetings, though we often leave gaping after the overwhelming and inspiring amount of fodder crammed into our heads.
Before we get a chance to see what this place looks like, it's time to request art and set aside what monsters will appear. These deadlines always make us a little crazy, but planning really does have to start early. At this phase, I always feel like I'm an embarrassment of a designer – just guessing, and it makes me feel very guilty. "Uh…orcs! And, um, bears! Yeah, bears and orcs. This will make a good division."
In actuality, though, the seeds are planted here. The brain really starts chewing on all of the pieces, and before we know it we're jotting down or discussing little bits of actual ideas and plans. At this time, we're usually just finishing up the previous feature.
This is the early map of the Great River, and we received this around the time that we began writing our specs. Zooming down into this zone usually gave us just enough insight to start thinking about monster camp layout, quest hub locations, and even a little bit of our quest flow. We start making strange abstract-seeming flow charts indicating quest flow through each division, and they seem quite perfect and reasonable at this blind stage. We flesh out our plans for quests for each area, and try to remain loyal to our optimistic flow charts. (We also rag on each other relentlessly for flow chart color choices during this phase, which is very important to the process.)
Next comes the fun part: building the puzzle pieces and assembling them. For the next several weeks, the various teams within dev work together to build a beautiful world, make things to do in the world, and create rewards to make you want to come and play in this exciting new region.
The trickiest part of this phase is not to get lost in polishing and perfecting. Forward momentum on the structure of the division is crucial, and it won't do to have one quest arc be flawless and bug-free while the rest of the content isn't even built yet. Polish could go on forever because perfection is impossible, so we have to go forward even when things are a little rough around the edges, and cringe at reviews when we get to show some of our clumsy phases to the rest of the team.
See? Very sad business.
Eventually we have the satisfaction of seeing it all come together. We've collectively learned so much over the years about making region content, both from LOTRO's own successes and failures, and also from those of other games in the MMO/RPG genre. There is never a shortage of inspiration for our new regions; Tolkien's lore is getting more exciting as the fellowship marches ever forward through the pages. It was really fun to work on the Great River, and it's gotten us very excited to move forward into Rohan.

Jun 17, 201310A total "wow!". This film touches the deepest of emotions when it comes to family and love. This is unforgettable in every aspect. Best performance from Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. Excellent screenplay, cinematography, sound, and editing. Possibly the best film of 2012 and the-one-to-beat for the decade.
movienotesbook.blogspot.com -
Jun 9, 20139Intense & riveting story of survival. Bayona recreates the punishing & deadly tsunami in visually impressive & gut-wrenching fashion. Watts is extraordinary, but Holland's heroic performance is captivating. -MN
May 5, 20139Bring your Kleenex this film will have you an emotional mess. To imagine in the blink of an eye your swept up by water and you have no idea where your family is or if their even alive would be scary. This is a great movie that is really hard to watch.
Feb 15, 201310I had low expectations going in but this movie was phenomenal. Such powerful storytelling found in very small moments and superb acting. The disaster scenes are not overdone and this movie does not contain all the cliches that you would expect from a movie of this subject. I don't know why Naomi Watts isn't considered a front-runner for her performance. It was breathtaking.

Jan 22, 201310The movie was gripping from the start. The acting was so incredible. I could easily connect with the characters. Definitely a must see movie, one of the best I have ever seen.
Jan 21, 201310This is my first movie review I have ever done. I watched the film looking for a "normal" movie. Instead of that I Realized that this is one of the best movies I´ve ever seen in my life. Very touching and breathtaking.
Jan 20, 20139"The Impossible" had me so emotionally invested that I felt I was witnessing the 2004 tragedy first hand. J.A. Bayona has successfully directed the greatest disaster film to date.
Jan 16, 201310
Jan 15, 201310
Jan 15, 201310I am not to mourn, and this movie tears me out. With a message of love and family, this film proves to be a jewel of the tragedy and drama; giving us harrowing scenes with Naomi Watts, proving it is an Oscar nominee.
Jan 13, 201310Very Gripping movie, will bring tears to your eye's ! i was hooked from start to finish. a must watch for 2013 !!!!! its unbelivable this actually happened to this family
Jan 9, 201310WOW! 10/10 Such an emotionally evocative film.. I love all the actors! by watching this movie you can feel that your lucky that your in safe now and you should value every moment in your life..perfect for me 10/10...
Jan 9, 201310Director J A Bayona's vision for this film is simply spectacular. It manages to be extremely emotionally enticing, authentic, visually brilliant, and rooted in showcasing humanity at its finest. The entire acting assemble was flawless, but it was the scenes between Naomi Watts and Tom Holland that made this film so beautiful and real.

Jan 7, 201310The Impossible is one of the best films of 2012. Never has a movie been so depressing and at the same time so uplifting. Naomi watts does an incredible job, but Lucas, her son, is the star of the film. A movie that should be seen, remembered, and not forgotten.
Jan 6, 201310Best movie i have ever seen. It's has a lot of heart touching moment that can make you cry . it's was so real that can make you believe in that movie
Jan 3, 20139
Dec 23, 20129"The Impossible'' is a true story very intense story of family's survival against the odds.worth checking out for the acting and effects ,and is not a remake movie.
Dec 23, 20129Por mucho que sepas lo que pasará sigue impactando. Parece realmente imposible lo que sucedió. Es difícil no llorar o al menos que se te ponga la piel de gallina. Espectacular, dramática, grandes interpretaciones. Arriba el cine español.
Dec 22, 20129
Dec 21, 201210The best Spanish film of the history of cinema.
50Movies are good at this sort of brute physicality, but the trouble with The Impossible is that is also tells a rather banal story. [28 Jan. 2012, p.81]
80This is an affecting and emotional drama about the strength of the human spirit.
88Yet as fine as she and Ewan McGregor are as the parents, Tom Holland stands out as eldest son Lucas, a slightly sullen teen who learns to put other people before himself.

Recent FIS NewsBelow you will find a listing of recent FIS News Find your newsKearney and Colas claim overall Freestyle titles After 64 successfully completed competitions, the FIS Freestyle Ski World Cup came to an end last weekend in Myrkdalen-Voss (NOR) and La Plagne (FRA). Organizing competitions at 22 different locations in 14 nations requires a lot of work and planning. There were no cancellations due to poor weather or major delays, neither were there any serious injuries. All competitions enjoyed live TV productions except USA, and the TV distribution has increased significantly. The successful season owes much to professional organizers and experienced teams. Several athletes were in the fight for the globes to the 'bitter end', including the overall World Cup title which was only decided at the very last event. For Guilbaut Colas (FRA), it was his first overall World Cup title after finishing second the last four years. Hannah Kearney (USA) extended her collection of globes after having won the overall World Cup in 2009, and finishing third last year. was clearly the dominant nation this season, and the interest around this spectacular sport is still increasing in the Asian region. Talented European athletes should be mentioned including Olga Volkova from Ukraine, who finished third, and last year's winner, Anton Kushnir (BLR) as well as the established Renato Ulrich (SUI) who all made it to the top 3 in the aerials standings. By having more nations on the podium, potential for developing the sport and recruiting new athletes increases.In aerials, both crystal globes went to Chinese athletes. China also grabbed the Nations Cup globe, leading with over 700 points with Ukraine as the runner-up. China The Canadians have a long tradition when it comes to moguls skiing, which once again was evident with Canadian athletes finishing second and third in both ladies and men's overall moguls World Cup title, in addition to winning the Nations Cup in moguls. The moguls star of the year, however, was Hannah Kearney of the USA. Out of the 10 competitions she competed in, she won no less than 9 and finished second in the remaining one. The 25-year-old said: "I should set more goals. I wanted to win both the moguls and the overall but I didn't know I was going to do it by winning nine events. It is really, really satisfying." With the Canadian challenger Jennifer Heil ending her outstanding career this year, Kearney will aim her sights on a triple of moguls titles next season. Ski cross which was first added to the FIS Freestyle World Cup in 2002 has attracted massive interest since the very beginning. An exciting fight for the World Cup further contributed to growing interest this season: On the ladies side, a tight fight between Heidi Zacher (GER), Anna Holmlund (SWE) and Kelsey Serwa (CAN) was not decided until the last competition in Voss-Myrkdalen last weekend. Holmlund, who won all her starts there, celebrated both the final victory for the season as well as the ski cross globe. An extremely good season by Zacher allowed her to climb a whopping 28 ranks on the ski cross ranking compared to last year. On the men's side, Andreas Matt (AUT) scored a comfortable victory in season rankings although the circuit missed the title holder Mike Schmid (SUI) who was out of action due to injury. With a margin of 200 points Matt won the ski cross globe ahead of Christopher DelBosco (CAN) and Jouni Pellinen (FIN). The last World Cup event of the season took place in La Plagne, to settle the battle for the halfpipe globe. Canadian stars Sarah Burke and Rosalind Groenewoud shared 1st place in the rankings. Virgine Faivre (SUI) finished third, only 15 points behind. On the men's side, Benoit Valentin and Xavier Bertond from France took 1st and 2nd, respectively, closely followed by David Wise (USA).

President Barack Obama fired back at Mitt Romney in his first post-debate stop in Denver Thursday, contrasting the Romney he saw at the debate with the Romney seen on the campaign trail over the last year.
"We had our first debate last night, and when I got onto the stage I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney," Obama told the crowd of roughly 12,300. "But it couldn't have been the real Mitt Romney."
The "real" Romney, he said, has traveled the country promoting tax cuts for the wealthy, education plans that would hurt teachers and was a pioneer of outsourcing jobs overseas.
However, Wednesday night, Obama said Romney reversed those views because he "doesn't want to be held accountable for the real Mitt Romney" and "what he's been saying for the last year."
The president's comments echoed much of what his campaign has been peddling since the showdown, largely in response to criticism Obama did not bring his A-game to the first debate.
But at the campaign event, Obama said he spent the 90 minute event "trying to hit him down."
He also took on a much talked about moment, when Romney said eliminating funding for PBS, among other programs, would help drive down the debt.
"Thank goodness somebody is finally getting tough on Big Bird. It's about time," Obama said. "We didn't know that Big Bird was driving the federal deficit, but that's what we heard last night. How about that?"
Responding to the crowd, Obama said "Elmo too?"
The event attendees were on the receiving end of a will.i.am DJ fest before hearing from former Transportation Secretary Frederico Pena, Colorado Sen. Mark Udall and then the president.

Apple makes news every year, and ever since Steve Jobs returned to the company in 1997, the news has mostly been good. But any big company will make a few missteps, and Apple is no exception. No company can escape the occasional misstep, but with Apple, the stumbles get the same kind of "generous" coverage that the successes do. Apple is hardly a shy, retiring company that prefers to hide from the spotlight -- even people who've never owned an Apple product can probably name several, whether because of the clever ads, the generous news coverage, or just word of mouth. Here's the 10 Apple moments that made big news this year.

Love this case
POSTED ON 6.27.12 • BY Andrea
I love the Incase slider cases. It fits my Iphone 4 perfectly, and the slide feature doesn't make me feel like I am going to break my phone when I put it on. It doesn't slip at all, but is still easy to remove. I've had it about 3 months, and it doesn't show any wear. The pink is sparkly and girly like I wanted.

I'd be very interested in this. Being a Brit means I can't be playing with shack tac but I'd love to play with ACE/ACRE etc.

I didn't finish my dissertation on time for this =P =(
So next wed, is it literally only ACRE being used ? Or you thinking of eventually expanding it to ACE etc?
I unfortunately will not be able to attend this week's session. Hope it goes well and you get more people than last week.
This is still on this evening, correct?
