Ruby Sanctum
Ruby Sanctum
1. Throne of the four winds.
2. Naxxramas (level 80).
3. Dragon Soul.
Auchindoun EU
"If you say 'plz' because it's shorter than 'please', I'll say 'no' because it's shorter than 'yes'"
Tuch me
Dragon Soul
Heart of Fear
Terrace of Endless Springs
1) Dragon Soul. Maybe if it had been an intro raid, but to have this as the final tier was pathetic.
2) Naxxaramas Rehashed. Not having 40 people in the raid made the raids feel extremely Scooby-Doo like.
3) Firelands. Great concept, probably the hardest raid in Cata, but poorly executed.
Too all you haters saying MC or BWL, I have no idea how those were the "worst" given they set the standard for every other raid (and BWL moved the bar quite high).
Cmon people, put some effort and tell us why you don't like those raids. No one isn't interested in lists of names.
1 - Dragon Soul. I liked the concept of the raid instance a lot, but having tons of boring trash kills off a raid instance when you raid it forever. Also DW fights weren´t intimidating in any way, nor were they epic in any way.
2- Mogushan Vaults. Holy crap that place is boring. The interior is awesome looking, but most of the bosses are just not my cup of tea.
3- Ruby Sanctum. Again the trash mobs killed the fun to the raid imo. The minibosses themselves were cool, but too much time consuming trash.
I don´t see the problem with ToC. Allright the scenery was a bit meh but we got to fight "like" gladiators and I loved that. Also, no trash ! yay
1) ToC
3) Ruby Sanctum
1.) ICC. Raid locks, Yawn. Farming for a year? double yawn!
2.) DS. Too much trash. Kill trash for an hour, then poke the boss over in 10 minutes. Was too easy and too boring.
3.) ToC. Just meh. it sucked. Was rushed pushed raid. wasn't worthy of even being called a raid.

I think my least favorites will be:
Ulduar (Just didn't like the theme:/)
Dragon Soul (Need I say?)
Naxx 2.0 (Only cause it's a revamped raid and I used to raid it back in vanilla, so just wasn't new for me)
1) ToC
3) Naxx 2.0
Naxx 2.0 was simply an insult, could've been awesome but compared to the lvl 60 version this was just.... Meh...
Way too easy.

1) Anyone remember UBRS farming? all know Leeroy, but all forget trash mobs there Most boring vanila 10 man raid, cos you can reset that (anytime or 1 time per day - dont remember) and do, do , do again.
2) SSC - too hard for alot ppl from vanila, who not raided alot in vanila. You find guild, you gear up in Karazhan for that with ~same ppl, you have fun, Grull and Magteridon goes good and then you meet them there and you feel so bad there, alot wipes, feeling that your gear is shit or someone from raid must be kicked cos allways die... Its like a wall. Alot guild disbanded cos progress there was not so fast...
3) Sunwell - only for top guilds in big servers, rest farm ZA, do arenas and hate that they cant enter there and cant do nothing there... So boring time before Wotlk. Even if you join at that time guild who not cleared BT, you still have feeling like "damn this will take ages until we gear up for that".
Dragon Soul (boring, really pathetic effort considering it was the last big raid of the Xpack), Ruby Sanctum(nice little ad in right before cata, but good christ, the whole raid felt like the Olympics of pug killing), Revamped Naxx (no where near as hard as it should have been, and the first tier raid should not have just been a blatant rehash, even if most people didn't do it when it was content.
I actually liked ToC. The bosses were great, and Heroic Anub 25 was one of the hardest fights of the expansion. The champions fight was an awesome concept and worked out really well. The only real problem it had was that it was to small. Had it been released with another raid with 4-5 bosses in the same tier, it would be remembered much better today.
I can't figure why everybody is ranking DS. It was not a perfect raid but except for the "we don't design any new zone and just revamp old ones", I think the boss were quite entertaining. Too bad we spent 6 months on them and get sick of it.
1) Hyjal. I don't like The black morass, I don't like The violet hold, and definitely I don't like Hyjal. Caverns of Time was a great idea and there's really good things to do with it. But no more wave mechanics. Please.
2) Ulduar. Well, it actually is one of my favorite raid in the whole game. But still, I can't stand the whole Leviathan event. The fight against the Leviathan might be fun, but the whole event before is too long and boring like hell. I'm never happy to go to Ulduar with a clean id, as long as this event is not done I can't really enjoy the raid.
3) Malygos. I think I have a problem with vehicles mechanics too.
I was incredibly disappointed when they removed the chance to make the Onyxia scale cloak, thereby removing Nefarian's Shadow Flame tick. Even if that was back now, you'd have retarded high health pools. Extremely disappointing.
1. Onyxia: Level 80 (Rehashed; 0/5 stars)
2. Dragon Soul (Felt like a used car; 1/5 stars)
3. Firelands (Boring except for Ragnaros and a MC rehash in disguise; 2/5 stars)
1. Dragon Soul, never have I felt such boredom in a raid...
2. Ruby Sanctum
3. Gruuls Lair
1. Ruby Sanctum
2. Pre-Nerf SSC
3. Hyjal
Do no harm, but take no shit.
1. Sunwell
2. ToC
3. Firelands
Pretty much any tier that has had less than 8 bosses has been terrible imo. Dragon Soul comes in a close 4th, and Gruul doesn't really count because it kinda went along with Kara and segued into T5.
I know I'll get a lot of flak for putting Sunwell up there at #1, but a short raid that was only artificially long because you had to smash your face against the same boss fight for over 50-100 hours isn't fun. It's a chore. And yes, I killed M'uru and Kil'jaeden when it was relevant. It. Wasn't. Fun. The top guild on our server ended up imploding because of M'uru. They even recruited 5 rogues with glaive sets and still couldn't get it down.

Spent the weekend chilling out and doing almost nothing related to free software, but that's okay. I needed the downtime. Instead, I bought fall/winter biking clothes, ogled shiny new bikes, and read The Fellowship of the Ring and half of The Two Towers.
My birthday was yesterday; went out to dinner and to the movies. Saw Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, which was good silly fun. Got Cirque du Soleil tickets from my SO, which I'm really excited about, and her fiance baked me a cake. It was happymaking.

Thompson sentence shocks Spokane Police
SEATTLE - As former Spokane police officer Karl Thompson spent his first full day behind bars in a federal detention center near Seattle, members of the Spokane Police Department are troubled by the former officer's 51-month sentence.
Because of his longevity but also Thompson's confident, charismatic presence, there are dozens of police officers who looked up to him almost like a father figure. Now he's beginning his prison sentence, a prospect that many officers find very unsettling.
Thompson walked into court Thursday facing a recommended two-year prison sentence, but before the day-long hearing was over, federal prosecutors successfully doubled that sentence, much to the satisfaction of Otto Zehm's family.Thompson in custody Friday
"Well I'm pleased with the judge's decision. I am just glad that somebody is finally accountable for my cousin's death," Dale Zehm, Otto Zehm's cousin, said.
The Zehm family said when Thompson's trial started more than a year ago all they were hoping for was the truth. Federal prosecutors feel the convictions and tough sentence are a deterrent to future abuses of power.
"When police officers abuse those in their custody and use their badge as a license to cover up unlawful or excessive force as the defendant did in this case they stop working for enforcement and start working against it," Assistant U.S. Attorney Victor Boutros said.
Prosecutors hope Thompson's case shows the public that laws are equally enforced in Spokane, but that message was almost lost when the court considered allowing Thompson to remain free pending his appeal. It was a motion that Judge Fred Van Sickle rejected.
"I think the community ought to take faith and confidence that the rules are applied to all of us the same way, and I think that is very, very important, and I think that's one of the most important decisions the judge made today and we wholeheartedly agree with it," U.S. Attorney Mike Ormsby said.
Thompson's sentence jolted the police department.
While some people thought Thompson deserved a life sentence, he was never accused of killing Otto Zehm and so police knew he would a face a punishment measured in years not decades. But he received more time than many of them expected.
The concern was so much that Police Chief Frank Straub attended roll calls to ask officers not to let Thompson's plight distract them from their duties.
"There were an awful lot of good things in Karl Thompson's life prior to this incident," Straub said.
One thing that happened in the wake of Otto Zehm's death was the argument for increased police oversight was strengthened.
"I think we need civilian oversight, I think we need a strong ombudsman. I would support the ombudsman having independent investigative authority," Chief Straub said.
Still, there is concern among the rank and file on the force that one of their own is now a convicted felon facing a four-year prison sentence.
"We have a good number of officers who were trained by Officer Thompson and so yeah it hurts. It hurts really bad."

That's when an across-the-board increase in food stamp benefits goes away. That means a family of four will get 36 dollars less per month. It doesn't sound like much, but hunger experts say that 36 dollars can buy 20 meals.
Food stamps are now officially called SNAP, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The name changed in 2008 and soon after so did the politics. A traditionally bi-partisan program turned into anything but.
We sent KCPT Special Correspondent Sam Zeff out to see how all of this is playing out in Kansas and Missouri.
This week, a House-Senate conference committee met for the first time to, among other things, talk about how much more to cut food stamp benefits. The Senate has proposed four-billion dollars in cuts. The House 40-billion.
Also, Governor Jay Nixon said he wanted to change the work rules in Missouri, but he back-tracked after an outcry from Democrats in the General Assembly.
And finally, Harvesters says it will continue its food stamp outreach program without the grant money turned down by Kansas. They plan to find the money somewhere else.

High School | 9-12
Waldorf graduates share qualities like intellectual flexibility, motivation, initiative, critical thinking, a global consciousness and limitless curiosity, all supported by a solid foundation of academic excellence. In other words, Waldorf graduates are ready to contribute meaningfully to tomorrow's world.
The Santa Fe Waldorf High School guides students through an experiential curriculum organized around themes. It is an education that encourages real perception, honors the creative arts, and challenges students to consider their gifts in the context of the greater world.
Get a glimpse into our High School program below, or schedule a visit with Admissions Coordinator, Brent Poole.
The Waldorf High School Day - A Three Part Structure
The academic focal point of a Waldorf High School is the main lesson, a two-hour class that begins each day. Each main lesson block lasts three to four weeks and focuses on a major academic subject, including literature, mathematics, history, or the sciences. In the course of a main lesson block each student creates a personal portfolio, that includes essays, drawings, maps, poetry, and lab experiments. Main lesson books are crafted with an eye for beauty and excellence.
Skills lessons follow the main lesson. Skills requiring ongoing practice and development, such as mathematics, language arts, world languages or science.
Artistic and movement lessons include practical and studio arts, and physical and outdoor education classes. These lessons are offered in single or double 45-minute periods, usually after lunch, and are led by experts in each respective field. Painting, choral and instrumental music, gardening, physical education, woodworking, ceramics, and forestry have all been a part of the SFWS high school experience—each one creating a holistic synergy with the Main Lesson.
Ninth Grade
In emphasizing the powers of observation and description, ninth-grade courses seek to answer questions that focus on what: "What is the world like?" As ninth graders begin to experience their own thinking and individuality, and as their former certainties are called into question by the chaotic buffeting of puberty, they need confidence in the physical grounding of their existence. Ninth grade studies include organic chemistry, geometry, and earth science. Students also study history through art, becoming aware of evolutions in architecture, depictions of nature, and portrayals of the human form over the centuries.
Tenth Grade
Tenth-grade courses emphasize the powers of comparison, discrimination, and judgment. By tenth grade, adolescents attain a more harmonious inner life, and are better suited to ask how: "How do the processes of the world bring contrasts into balance?" Tenth-graders study mechanics, with its laws of balanced forces and motions. They also study Euclidian proofs and the elements of poetry that have evolved in the English language. In history, tenth-graders turn their attention to ancient cultures and an appreciation for the evolution of consciousness that began in ancient times and culminated in the epitome of harmony and form represented by ancient Greece.
Eleventh Grade
An important change occurs between tenth and eleventh grades as adolescents turn to their individual internal worlds. Eleventh grade courses emphasize the powers of analysis and the ability to discern meaning and purpose. The student now embarks on a lifelong quest for knowledge of self and others. The central question that underlies the offerings this year is why? This year introduces the stories of Parsival and Hamlet and examines the philosophy of Descartes. In the sciences, the physics of electromagnetic fields exemplify the possibility of knowing that which cannot be perceived directly. Students choose work internships to reflect their emerging interests as they begin to experience the adult working world.
Twelfth Grade
Twelfth grade nurtures the powers of synthesis and a capacity for comprehending the evolution of the human being and the natural world. The twelfth grade confronts questions of who: "Who am I?" and "Who are you?" Twelfth-graders explore a range of ontological concerns through studies of American transcendentalism, Goethe's Faust, evolutionary theory, and modern economic history. Independent senior projects reflect the emerging individuality of each student and incorporate personal research and service, culminating in an artistic, oral and written presentation.

|Art of Casting Analysis, refinement of the cast
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Rather than using complicated databases, let's try a new approach here. I have created "sub forums" under art of casting.
These will not be open forums, in other words we won't be able to post into them directly. Instead it will serve as a reference library, read-only except for Editors and librarians to manage.
It will be searchable, and be kept updated.
Fly Cast Glossary Project
The Flyfishing Forum is currently building a Fly Cast Glossary for 2005. You may either start a new thread to begin describing a cast, or reply to someone else's thread on the cast. Please lets do our best to keep them sorted out for future reference.
There will be an 'official' glossary made on the main pages with room for videos, images, and of course the best descriptions from members with credits and additions from interviewed pros and instructors from around the world.
For now feel free to begin discussions on casting to get things rolling; in fact we already have some good content to capture in the glossary started.

I'm bidding on some Droids and Ewoks figures now. I didn't like these toy lines AT ALL when I was a kid, because I didn't like the cartoony look; but I've developed a new appreciation for the figures, and the TV shows, recently.
Also, original animation cells for both cartoons are showing up all over ebay now; so, being the big animation fan that I am, I've been snatching up as many as I can afford.

Posted: 17 April 2005 at 7:55pm
Every year by estimates of the United States State Department, between 14,000 -17,000 children and women are brought into the United States for what Bush (whose own family has been involved in this trade) has called "modern-day slavery." Some estimates run as high as 50,000-100,000 per year. The victims come from various foreign countries from Russia to Vietnam. According to CBC documentary shown tonight its a US$3 billion annual business (still moderate as compared to US$1 billion in Israel which has a population of only five million) just second to drug-trafficking.

In the '80s and '90s, some of us would rush home from school and pop in our favorite tape until it was totally worn down, of course here that tape was probably one of the Star Wars films. Granted, times have changed, home video formats have largely changed, and even Star Wars has changed, so this new poll asks how often fans watch the Star Wars films, and applies to any or all of the Star Wars films, prequel or OT.

I like the game grey shadow best...
Would be nice if the "Tannehill" stitching wasnt off centered and aligned with the "17".
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
i think they are horrible, i almost got a black marino jersey way back when, but they look horrible. and im a fat guy, the black works alot better for me than the white or aqua. just get the authentic or a legit replica. unless youre a big guy then dont invest in the new jersey, they bug the belly and dunlap a helluva lot more than the old style
of course they are fake.... don't you see "Tannehill" is not even centered, and it looks fake.

A perennial shrub, the Vaccinium Macrocarpon is an evergreen plant that is native to the United States. It is also known as the Cranberry or Large Cranberry. Today, a number of cultivated varieties of the Vaccinium Macrocarpon are commonly grown in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey and Cape Cod in Massachusetts. However, cranberries are commonly grown throughout the U.S. including Washington, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, and Michigan. The original name of this plant was derived from the resemblance of their petals and anther to that of the crane, a wading bird. Eventually, this name changed to the current one of cranberry. It was also known as Bearberry in parts of the U.S. and Mossberry in the eastern part of Canada.
A member of the Ericaceae family, this evergreen plant is related to the huckleberry and the blueberry. While two other varieties of the cranberry exist (Vaccinium oxycoccos or northern cranberry and Vaccinium microcarpus or small cranberry), the large cranberry is the variety that is primarily used in commercial production.
Growing close to the ground, the Vaccinium Macrocarpon is seen in dense masses that may reach to a height just under one foot. The native habitat of the Vaccinium Macrocarpon includes boggy areas, swamps, peaty locations, mires, and coastal areas. The plant does best when the soil is wet rather than moist and shady rather than sunny.
The Vaccinium Macrocarpon produces small leaves that are leathery in texture and glossy in appearance. They offer a deep green coloring that turns into various shades of red and brown in the spring. The Vaccinium Macrocarpon produces tiny white to pink flowers that appear in small clusters during the spring and summer months of May, June, and July. These tube shaped flowers eventually produce a small, deep red fruit that is edible. These berries are ripe enough for harvesting during the fall months.
A number of studies regarding the efficacy of using cranberries to treat disease have been undertaken, but definitive results have not yet been presented. Cranberry is considered by herbalists and others as a treatment for UTIs (urinary tract infections). However, antibiotics should still be the primary course of treatment for this condition due to the lack of consistent evidence. Studies have also investigated the use of cranberry for the treatment of the H. pylon infection, which is responsible for the development of dental plaque and gastrointestinal ulcers. Conclusive results have not yet been discovered.
The fruit of the Vaccinium Macrocarpon is edible in many forms. Cranberries have been used to make juice, jellied cranberry sauce, and whole cranberry sauce. They are also eaten fresh or dried and have found their way into a number of recipes including those used to make bread, muffins, cakes, and cereal. Cranberries offer an excellent food source. For one thing, they score higher in antioxidants than many other types of fruits. They are fat free, cholesterol free, and low in sodium. Results of studies suggest that eating cranberries helps to protect the body's heart and immune system.
Cranberries are also valued for their seed oil and extract, both of which are important components of several different skin care products. Cranberry extract is taken from the seeds, skin, and pulp of the fruit. It is rich in several different trace minerals including potassium, phosphorus, and iron. It contains high levels of polyphenols, flavonoids, vitamin C, and fatty acids. All of this creates an extract that provides potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. Since the pH is quite low, the extract acts as an effective astringent. Moreover, it delivers antibacterial benefits due to its high phenolic content.
Particulates taken from the seeds and placed in exfoliating products for the skin act as tiny exfoliating machines as they help to remove dead skin cells and restore the skin's clarity. Cranberry extract is credited with having potent anti-aging capabilities that slow down the skin's natural progression of depleted stores of collagen and elastin.
Cranberry Seed Oil contains fatty acids, giving it exceptional capabilities as an emollient and providing a good reason for it to be included in moisturizing skin care products. Due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capabilities, Cranberry Seed Oil is quite beneficial when added to acne treatments or other problematic skin conditions.

Claims of bribes of $150,000, mystery men lurking ringside, an apparently failed drugs test before the fight, a controversial unanimous points decision - is this really what Sonny Bill Williams wants?
His desire to be one of the world's best athletes is a lofty, even laudable, one, but this farce - hard on the heels of a dreadful week in Australian sport amidst claims of match-fixing and performance-enhancing drugs - could cause irrepairable damage to the 27-year-old's image.
After the chaos inside and outside the ring at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre, Williams sat exhausted and relieved in his dressing room between two of his greatest allies - trainer Mick Akkaway and Quade Cooper.
His other, manager Khoder Nasser, was keeping a close watch on the half dozen or so journalists allowed to interview Williams (one, an ABC reporter, was not allowed entrance as Nasser didn't like his attitude in the aftermath of the WBA International heavyweight fight).
Williams appeared humbled by what he had experienced. The realities of the fight game appeared to be catching up with him and he was thankful he had received a unanimous points decision despite having received the beating of his life at the hands of a 44-year-old. Still groggy from the fight, he thanked the two New Zealand reporters for making the trip to Brisbane.
Nasser was thinking about other things. He had calmed considerably after his shouting match with the Botha camp in the South African's dressing room, but was at his controlling best still, cutting the interviews short and hustling journalists out of the room.
Williams, who this week reported for duty at the Sydney Roosters for the first time, appeared lukewarm at the prospect of fighting again. Nasser will have other ideas, but SBW should give serious thought to his next move as the farcical fight and revelations afterwards - a late change from 12 to 10 rounds, failed drugs tests, alleged bribes - is harming his reputation. His exploits for the Crusaders, Chiefs and All Blacks had won him a new legion of fans after he walked out on the Canterbury Bulldogs and the NRL but, five years after that scandal, his stocks are back in the basement and through no fault of his own.
Williams' loyalty to Nasser is complete and he won't leave his manager any time soon. He feels he owes him after Nasser's help in the wake of his Bulldogs exit midway through the 2008 NRL season to play rugby for Toulon in France.
He had just signed a new five-year contract, with the Bulldogs getting the better of the deal in terms of money, but it was seen as a treacherous act. Williams has a Bulldogs tattoo on the inside of an arm but for fans of the club he is a marked man for different reasons.
Apart from his obvious talent at the three sports - and he showed on Friday night that he can box extremely effectively - and physical gifts, Williams' reputation is important to him.
That's why he should think carefully about putting the gloves on again. A re-match with Botha in Cape Town has been suggested by both camps and would be very lucrative but, after the fallout from Brisbane (and no doubt there are will be more revelations), Williams should think football club rather than fight club.

eLearnSecurity - Early Look at New Low Cost Training
I know you've seen mention of eLearnSecurity in a few places on EH-Net, so I thought I'd share a little more info. Armando Romeo is putting the finishing touches on their new online hacking courses. They plan to offer both the Student Course and the Professional Course both for only $485.
That price point will put it in direct competition with the offerings of Offensive Security. They have a sample module available right now that will give you an idea of their training process. Take a look and offer some honest feedback. I'm a firm believer of competition, so the more low cost, high quality options available to the ethical hacking community the better.
While you're on their site, you might as well sign up for a 5% discount available for EH-Net Members. Take advantage of this pre-release offer now, as I'm not sure how long it will remain.
Just in case, here's a little more info. They describe their efforts as:
eLearnSecurity is a joint venture of 3 well known researchers who are going to hit the market of advanced IT Security training for the first time with a Penetration Testing Course for Professionals.
The course covers 3 main domains: Web Application Security – Network Security – System Security.
An interactive e-learning system will provide you with 1600 slides, self assessment tests and 4 hours of video training. Dozens of real world examples and a hacking lab will let you practice your acquired skills.
Other than the most advanced attacking techniques, Methodology and Reporting matters will be covered in depth.
The eCPPT Silver Certification exam will finally assess your pentesting and reporting skills.
Other instructors involved in this project are:
Brett D. Arion - U.S.A
Brett has 16+ years of experience in the IT industry, with over half that experience dealing with IT Security. Brett has worked to create IT Operational Security processes, procedures, and methodologies. Brett also has extensive experience with a number of Regulatory Requirements such as Payment Card Industry (PCI), Federal Information Systems Management Act (FISMA), and DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP). Brett continually works to keep abreast of the security industry and fully believes that an educated user community is the only way that Internet Security will ultimately prevail. Brett also participates in security related organizations such as ISACA and Infragard, and currently serves on the Board for the local FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association.
Brett is Author of "Penetration Testing Course - Network Security" and co-founder of eLearnSecurity
Nitin Kumar | Vipin Kumar - India
Nitin and Vipin are two of the brightest talents in IT Security research.
As independent researchers they are constantly involved in the System Security field.

I found a little mantra to help with my frustrations - its an ATC so hope it counts! LOL
Mandy Stewards Smattering Collection - Thanks for looking!
I didn't mean to get rid of Chris at all - just meant to get rid of the box of frustrations!
Sara, this is wonderful! I love your quote - just perfect! And the collection you used is super and so colorful. I like the way you journaled in the box and the border all around - especially the word art at top. Great layout.
Great quote from Deepak Chopra! I find it a bit hard to get rid of the box...What a statement! I like your border, color choices and pretty touch stones! Wonderful concept.
What a great quote!! And you have scrapped it very dramatically and forcefully.. I like that! Wonderful testament to your mantra. Love the bright colours and paint and drips... you did a super job :-)
Awesome quote! And great job of placing it in the layout. Love the touch stone border.
Hahaha that is original. I love the quote. Love the card too.
What a perfect Mantra! Glad that you took the time to scrap it, and you did it so well, too. That border sure locks in that positive statement!
Sara, I just caught that you had added this to the Oct 1 challenge. It's wonderful! That is a great quote, and your ATC is full of emotion. it's going into my favorites. I'm really honored you put so much into this challenge. I hope it has been helpful for you.

Where I stayed
Then we relaxed on the public beach for a few hours. It was H O T !!! Thank goodness we had an umbrella above our beach chairs. I pretty much stayed underneath this the whole time, and it will not take much for me to burn here, and I don't want to be miserable. The color of my skin is pretty much white or will turn red, and I will choose to stay white, if I must.
We met up with a mutual friend, Shannon, who moved down here from the states two weeks ago. We went to a Tappas bar, Salsipuedes, drank guaro sours and watched the sunset! AMAZING
Today, we are doing a zipline canopy tour through the rainforest and will probably go back to the beach after that. I'd like to buy some "touristy" souvenirs.
Sweat update: Yeah....I pretty much walk out of the door and sweat from the start. The humidity is unreal, but at least everyone else is the same way.
Cold update: Shannon (bless her heart) went to the pharmacy yesterday and bought me some Zithromax, which you can actually get over the counter here! It has helped me feel better, but I still just don't feel "up to snuff." At least now I can breathe through my nose, but I'm also coughing up nasty gunk. But hey....I'm in a beautiful country with great people, so I can't complain. :)
Hasta luego!

38% fewer calories • 52% less fat • 55% less sat fat than the original recipe. Check out this healthified spin on a classic Italian favorite – it lost the fat but not the flavor!
We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the originals.
To reduce the fat, we used extra-lean ground beef, light cheeses and only 1 egg instead of the 2. Basil and a touch of ground red pepper enhance the flavor.

Adriatic LNG is building an offshore gravity-based liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal of the same name offshore Italy in the northern Adriatic Sea. ExxonMobil Italiana Gas and Qatar Petroleum's Qatar Terminal Limited subsidiary each own a 45% stake in the project while Edison SpA owns the remaining 10%.
The Adriatic LNG terminal will receive natural gas produced from Qatar's North Field. It features a concrete gravity-base structure (GBS) that contains inert ballasting material. The GBS rests on the seabed in approximately 30 meters of water. The platform is 188 meters long, 88 meters wide, and 47 meters tall. It is oriented with its shortest side parallel to the coast.
Inside the GBS are two LNG storage tanks made of 9% nickel steel. High-resistance concrete double walls protect the tanks; there is sand between the two walls. Atop the structure are the regasification process and auxiliary plants, equipment, control room, and lodging for personnel.
LNG carriers capable of storing up to 152,000 cubic meters of LNG will be able to unload their cargoes at the terminal's berthing and mooring systems. The topside facilities will be able to vaporize approximately 775 million cubic feet per day (8 billion cubic meters per year), and Adriatic LNG anticipates that two LNG carriers will arrive at the regasification terminal each week.
Regasified LNG will be sent to shore via a 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline buried under the seabed. The pipeline will make landfall south of the Levante Po River delta near Scanno Cavallari. From there it will continue underground onshore to a metering station that will connect it to Italy's national gas grid.
Built in Algeciras, Spain, the Adriatic LNG terminal arrived at its final location on Sept. 15, 2008. On August 10, 2009, the first LNG cargo arrived at the terminal, which sent out its first gas to the Italian national gas distribution network on Sept. 6, 2009. Adriatic LNG was formally inaugurated approximately six weeks later.

Hello everyone, its been a while .

Do any of you have any suggestions?
I remember this being discussed not long ago and if I remember correctly, Eden apartments seemed to be leading the discussion
www.canaryforum.com/2 for Travel Services
Are the Eden apartments all inclusive now?

MELWALES1 (25th May 2012)
Although a more expensive option the R.I.U. Vistamar is tops for everything especially the kids. The animation team there work so hard to keep them all entertained, they have a kiddies only pool that is well supervised also they have their own purpose built playhouse with all the toys, crayons, paints etc etc. They even have their own kiddies sun lotion too, it's great watching them all getting on together so well hopping and skipping around the place.
I have been back and forth with the idea of one of these 2 hotels (altamar and eden)
I contacted a lady through a trip advisor who had just been to eden- she said food was great, entertainment was fab and it ticked all the boxed for kid but it does NOT have a kids club, altamar have a kids club(as far as I know)
if you want cheap and chearfull the edem aptments should suit but be worned the Apatments are very basic the food is honest fare though ok at best. The Play area is a good size but not realy ok for a 3 year old. We stayed in these last year but spent very little time in them. Good Position for the Europa centre and getting down to Amadores beach other wise if you want 1 star its for you.
Never stayed at the Eden but we have stayed at the Altamar, tbh it's quite a big complex which offers A/I, it is a nice friendly place plenty of families and for us situated in a better place than the Eden. It's a short walk to the Europa but at night it is peaceful enough to get some sleep and when you wake up in the morning you have fantastic views. Shop and laundry on site, my kids are too old for kids clubs, so can't comment sorry. Colinamar not a bad one either but would say rooms and views a lot nicer at the Altamar, my mate recommends Riosol. What a choice you have to make, that's a good few hours reading on the Internet.
Last edited by victor64; 28th May 2012 at 04:10 PM. Reason: Sentence not finished
I have also not stayed at the Eden, but have a few times at the Altamar, if i had the choice of either i think it would be the Altamar tho..Altamar has a kids club, really good for A.I, great views and they have been refurbishing all of A side, this was last year so not sure if the B side has also been done. I think a couple of years ago Eden were getting bad reviews and this is possible as to why i was put off, however on checking trip advisor the comments recently have been pretty good..
Have a fab holiday for whatever decision you make..

Establishing New York Residency
The Colleges and Universities that comprise the State University of New York system were established to provide a quality education at a reduced rate for the benefit of qualified residents of New York State. As a matter of policy, the State University provided the benefits of higher education at a reduced cost to those students who are domiciled in New York based upon the quality and length of their presence in the State.
Under State University of New York policy, legal residence means more than simply living in the state. More specifically, it means establishing a domicile as opposed to a temporary residence or physical presence incidental to enrollment in a college or university in the state. Students who are defined as New York state residents are those who, prior to the beginning of the semester, have established a permanent domicile in New York state. One does not acquire a new domicile merely by attending an institution of higher education in New York State.
Procedure for Establishing New York State Residency for Tuition Billing Purposes
The initial residency determination is assessed during the admission application process. Students who have missing and/or conflicting information on their application are coded as non resident for tuition billing purposes. Also, any student for whom proof of residency is requested will have their status changed to non-resident until their residency status has been documented and approved.
Once a newly admitted student has paid their admissions deposit, any inconsistency with their residency status is conveyed along with the admission deposit acknowledgment. This acknowledgement also provides instructions on the steps required to have their tuition billing status updated if they disagree with the initial assessment. It is the sole responsibility of the student to follow-up with the appropriate residency documentation with the Student Accounts Office.
All students can view their tuition billing status when the bill is viewed or paid on-line. The deadline to resolve any residency issues and have their billing status changed is the end of the second week of the term for which the residency application is submitted. Any submission after this date will be reviewed and acted upon, however a successful determination will not affect the current term but the immediate future term of enrollment. There are no retroactive refunds as the student's status was appropriate for that semester.
Determinations of residency status, both approved and denied, are emailed to the student's campus email account. If the documentation is denied, the explanation for the denial is explained in the email along with how to appeal the decision. If the student decides to appeal the residency decision, from the Office Student Accounts, the appeal will then go to the Residency Appeal committee for review. The committee's decision is final and is noted as such. The Student Accounts Office is not involved with the appeal process except for forwarding the student's residency documentation to the committee.

Administrative Procedures Manual
Policy Title: Residency, Establishment of for Tuition Purposes
Document Number: 7810
Effective Date: September 20, 2005
This policy item applies to: State-Operated Campuses
This policy summarizes and clarifies the State University of New York's (University) definition of residency for purposes of determining eligibility for in-state tuition at University campuses.
An emancipated U.S. citizen or permanent resident whose domicile has been in the State of New York for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the time of registration for any period of attendance shall be considered a New York State resident for the purpose of determining the tuition rate payable for such period. Generally, an unemancipated student's state of residency is considered the same as that of his or her custodial parent(s) or legal guardian(s). All other persons shall be presumed to be out-of-state residents for such purpose, unless domiciliary status is demonstrated in accordance with guidelines adopted by the University and in 8 NYCRR §302 (Tuition and Fees). Certain holders of non-immigrant visas may qualify for in-state tuition, as discussed in section V below.
I. In General
A. Standard
Students enrolled at University campuses are considered New York State residents if they have established their domicile in New York State. A domicile is a fixed, permanent home to which an individual intends to return whenever absent. Determination of a student's domicile will be based on the factors set forth in section III.
B. Classifications
1. Persons domiciled in New York State for twelve months or more: Emancipated individuals who have maintained their domicile in New York State for a period of at least twelve months prior to registration shall be considered New York State residents. Persons who have been physically present in New York State for at least twelve months but have maintained a fixed, permanent and principal residence outside of New York State shall not be considered New York State residents.
2. Persons domiciled in New York State for less than twelve months: Emancipated individuals who have maintained their domicile in New York State for a period of less than twelve months prior to registration shall be presumed to be out-of-state residents. These individuals may challenge this presumption by presenting sufficient evidence to prove that they have made New York State their fixed, permanent and principal home. (See section III.B, below)
II. Implementation
A. Applying for New York State Residency
Students who have not established a New York State domicile for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the time of registration and who wish to be considered eligible for in-state tuition must submit to the campus a standard Application for New York State Resident Status for Tuition Billing Purposes. The campus may require that the application be notarized. Additionally, in situations where the campus seeks to verify a student's claim of residency, campus officials may request that the student complete this (or a similar) form. Any student who fails to complete the residency application, including the submission of all supporting documentation, after being requested to do so by a campus official, will be charged out-of-state tuition.
B. Initial Determination of Residency
The initial determination of residency status should be based on the information provided by the student during the admissions process. For this reason, the University Common Application Services Center's ("ASC") undergraduate application for admission includes a description of residence as follows: "If your principal or permanent home has not been in New York State for a 12-month period immediately prior to the date you intend to enroll, you will be considered an out-of-state student for tuition purposes. Please note that if you are financially dependent and your custodial parent lives in a state other than New York State, you will be considered a resident of that state." To promote consistency, all other application forms (graduate, professional, or any other non-ASC) should be revised to include this definition. In addition, all application forms should solicit information relative to a student's principal or permanent home for the previous twelve-month period.
C. Submission of Residency Applications
Completed residency applications should be submitted to campus officials prior to registration for the semester in which tuition is due. The term "registration" shall mean the "last date" for registration at each campus.
D. Determination
A written residency determination and any supporting documentation shall be placed in the student's permanent file.
E. Appeals
Each campus shall establish an on-campus procedure for the appeal of residency determinations. At least one copy of the appeals process must be filed with the campus admissions office for student accessibility purposes. Other copies may be filed with the campus office responsible for administering the residency policy. All decisions rendered by the campus appeals officer or board shall be final.
III. Guidelines for Determining Residence
A. Domicile
In order to determine residency status, the campus must ascertain whether the student or the student's parent has established a New York State domicile. The following principles govern the determination of a student's domicile:
1. A domicile is a fixed, permanent home to which a person intends to return following an absence.
2. A person may have multiple residences but only one domicile.
3. A person retains a domicile until it is abandoned and another domicile is established.
4. A person does not acquire a New York State domicile only by being physically present in New York for the sole purpose of attending a New York State campus.
5. A person does not acquire a New York State domicile solely by being physically present in New York State for a period of twelve months.
6. An unemancipated student's domicile is that of his or her custodial parents or other legal guardian. (Factors to be used in determining emancipation are discussed in subsection D below.)
7. An unemancipated student of divorced or legally separated parents will acquire a New York State domicile if:
a. The custodial parent is a New York State resident; or
b. The student resides with a non-custodial parent who is a New York State resident and the student intends to continue to reside with that parent throughout his or her attendance at the University.
B. Proof of Domicile
Proof of a New York State domicile is demonstrated by documents that support an applicant's contention that his or her permanent home is located in New York State. For unemancipated students, the campus shall review documents pertaining to at least three of the following factors relevant to the determination of a New York State domicile by the parent or legal guardian, including but not limited to:
1. duration of the student's physical presence in New York State;
2. state of residency of the student's family (i.e., parents, spouse or children);
3. New York State voter registration;
4. New York State driver's license or non-driver identification card;
5. New York State motor vehicle registration;
6. proof of ownership of New York State real property;
7. residential lease for property in New York State;
8. New York State income tax returns; and
9. New York State bank accounts.
An applicant need not submit all of the above documentation in order to demonstrate a New York State domicile; however, the campus should examine the totality of the circumstances in each individual case.
C. Exceptions to the Domicile Rule
Members of the U. S. Armed Forces who provide documentation showing that they are on full-time active duty and stationed in New York State shall be charged in-state tuition regardless of the actual location of their domicile. Spouses and dependents of full-time active duty personnel stationed in New York State shall also be deemed New York State residents for tuition purposes. (Refer to NYS Education Law §355 (Regulation of Tuition Generally) and 8 NYCRR §302 (Tuition and Fees).
Dependents of a parent or legal guardian who is a full-time active member of the U.S. Armed Forces stationed out-of-state will qualify for in-state tuition provided that the parent or legal guardian submits proof of a New York State residency, referred to as a "Home of Record." Such records are on file at the person's military base.
1. Civilian employees of the military and their dependents are not eligible for exceptions
1 and 2 above.
2. Certain non-resident students may be eligible for the resident tuition rate if they meet the following requirements:
a. are not non-immigrant aliens within the meaning of 8 USC §1101(a)(15), and
b. attended an approved New York State high school for two or more years, graduated from an approved New York State high school and applied for admission to the University within five years of receiving a New York State high school diploma; or
c. attended an approved New York State program for a General Equivalency Diploma (GED) exam preparation, received a GED and applied for admission to the University within five years of receiving the GED; and
d. if the student is without lawful immigration status, the student submits to the campus a notarized affidavit stating that the student has filed an application to legalize his or her immigration status, or will file such an application as soon as he or she is eligible to do so. (See NYS Education Law §355(h) (8)).
3. Students enrolled in institutions of higher education located in counties identified in FEMA Disaster Declarations 1603 (Louisiana), 1604 (Mississippi), 1605 (Alabama) who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 shall be charged the in-state tuition rate for the Fall 2005 semester regardless of the actual location of their domicile.
D. Emancipation of a Student
A student whose parents or legal guardian reside out-of-state may claim to be emancipated in order to qualify for in-state tuition. A student claiming emancipation must present evidence of both emancipation and a New York State domicile in order to be designated a New York State resident for tuition purposes. Proof of emancipation must include documentation demonstrating the student's financial independence. Emancipation does not occur automatically when a student reaches18 years of age. Students under the age of 21 must provide evidence of one year of independent living in order to be considered emancipated.
Factors relevant to the determination of financial independence include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. employment on a full- or part-time basis within New York State;
2. sources and extent of financial support from parents or guardians
3. sources and extent of other income;
4. parents' federal and state income tax forms which do not claim the student as a dependent (if the student continues to receive financial support, the student shall not be considered emancipated);
5. student's place of residence during the summer or other academic term recess;
6. student's status as financially independent for purposes of federal and/or state financial assistance;
7. independent filing by the student of federal or state income tax return; and
8. student's assets and liabilities.
Emancipated students are totally responsible for paying all of their educational costs. The amount of income claimed by the student must equal or exceed educational expenses, including those expenses associated with living in non-University housing. The term income includes any financial aid received as an independent student. The students should not have any joint or custodial accounts with their parents or legal guardians and any income claimed must be accompanied by source documentation (tax returns, Form 1099, Form W-2, bank statements, trust documents, etc.).
IV. Immigrant Aliens
Immigrant aliens may lawfully reside in the United States on a permanent basis. Students claiming to be immigrant aliens must present proof of their status by providing the campus with a valid Alien Registration Receipt Card (commonly known as a "green card") prior to registration. Once a student's immigrant status has been verified, the student may then establish New York State residency by meeting the criteria set forth in section III. A student may also provide a valid application for permanent residency status and upon verification that the application is pending; the student may apply for New York State residency status. Proper documentation indicating that a valid application for permanent residency is pending is a receipt for USCIS Form I-485 (Adjust Status), which must include the petitioner's name. (The receipt for Form I-485 may also appear on Form I-797 or I-797c, Notice of Action, and must include the petitioner's name.) In cases where a dependent student's parents have established immigrant status but subsequently abandon their New York State domicile, the student also loses New York State residency status and the in-state tuition benefit.
Refugees and asylees may also reside permanently in the United States. Students submitting proof of refugee or asylee status should be treated as immigrant aliens and permitted to provide evidence of a New York State domicile (See Related Information for Acceptable Documentation).
V. Non-Immigrant Aliens
Non-immigrant aliens are those aliens who enter the United States on a temporary basis for a specific purpose. Non-immigrants are grouped in categories depending on the type of visa presented at the port of entry. Non-immigrants admitted to the United States in categories which prohibit them from establishing a United States residence would not be eligible for in-state tuition. Non-immigrants included in categories which permit them to establish a United States residence may be eligible for in-state tuition if they meet the criteria set forth in section III (See Appendix A in Appendices for a list of non-immigrant alien classifications). To seek in-state tuition, persons included in non-immigrant alien categories permitting establishment of U.S. residency must provide documentation of residency in accordance with section III.B, above.
VI. Undocumented Aliens
Pursuant to the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. §1623), students who are unable to present valid documentation of their alien status are not eligible for in-state tuition rates. Effective July 1, 1998, aliens not lawfully present in the United States are not eligible on the basis of residence within a state for any postsecondary educational benefit unless citizens or nationals of the United States are eligible for the same benefit without regard to state residency. Certain undocumented aliens may be eligible for the resident tuition rate pursuant to section III.C (2) above.

A few weeks ago a forum member posted a question asking everyone which brand of shooting sticks they prefere. Shaman posted a do it yourself link showing you how to make your own set of shooting sticks. I always wanted a set of shooting sticks but never wanted to pay $50 or more to have them, so I decided I'd try my hand at it. I took the straightest two tobacco sticks from the barn that I could find and cut them to 36" to where they were square on both ends. I put a nail in the bottom of both of them to keep them from slipping when I put the gun on them, and I put a bolt about 6" from the top of the sticks to hold them together. I wrapped the sticks in camo tape and finished it off with leather straps for the gun to rest on. Total cost: $4 for the camo tape.
After tackling that little project I wondered what else I could do myself. I watched a video on youtube that showed how to make a wrist sling for your bow, which I have also needed. I used two different strands of 550lb. paracord to make my sling: dessert camo and black. I took it out yesterday to shoot with it for the first time on my 1999 Hoyt Accel and loved it. I can't wait to take it to the woods this fall.
I recently just started coyote hunting, and I learned quickly that it's hard to carry all the calls around without them banging together and also I'm scared I may mess up the reeds if I stuff them in my pocket or something, so I decided to make myself a lanyard. I love the look of it and I love how much easier the calls are to get to. Total Cost: $10 for 100ft. of paracord, which I used for both the sling and the lanyard and I still have plenty of it left over.
I've never posted any pictures in any of my posts before so I hope this works.
