Talk to your child about their origins
If your child, or children, were conceived as a result of assisted conception, telling them about their origins can be a sensitive topic to discuss. However, if done honestly and if discussed at the right time, the issue need not be a difficult one to broach.
When to talk to your child about their origins
Evidence from the experience of adoption, as well as studies of donor-conceived people, suggest that it is best for donor conceived people to be told about their origins in childhood.
Finding out suddenly, later in life, may be emotionally damaging to donor-conceived people and their family. This, coupled with the donor conceived peoples' legal right to find out about their genetic origins, means that it is advisable for parents to be open with their children from an early age.
However, if circumstance or choice have led you to tell your child later in life this can still be done well with the right preparation and guidance. The Donor Conception Network can assist you in taking this step. Read more about the Donor Conception Network.
Donor information
Parents of people conceived on or after 1 August 1991 following treatment at an HFEA licensed clinic can contact the HFEA to find out information about their child's donor.
Being open and honest
Family secrets can undermine trust and lead to conflict and stress. They can also suggest to donor-conceived children that their parents are ashamed of how they were conceived.
If you, as the parent, are open about how your child was conceived there is no reason they should feel any different to any other child.
If donation has been part of the family story for as long as your child can remember, their genetic origins needn't be an issue.
Some donor-conceived children are likely to want to know more about their donor, while others won't be particularly interested.
Donor Conception Network – information booklets
The Donor Conception Network (DCN) has produced a series of booklets called 'Telling and Talking'. These aim to prepare and support parents of donor-conceived people to tell their children about their origins.
The booklets can be ordered online or downloaded from the DCN website.
The DCN is a self-help network comprised of:
- over 1,000 families created with the help of donated eggs, sperm or embryos
- couples and individuals seeking to found a family through assisted reproduction
- adults conceived using a donor.
Professional support
You may wish to seek counselling, or similar support services, on best methods of discussing donor conception with your child.
There are a number of organisations set up to offer counselling services and advice:

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by max, May 1, 2007.
From the Chicago Tribune What's Goin' On - Chicago Sports - Blogs.
I'm finding it hard to work up any hate for the Bulls. I really like their team and the way they play ...as opposed to the Heat who were easy to hate. I'll have to get on the Bulls forums and see if I can work up some emotion.
I will have no problem hating them the minute Scott Skiles starts screwing up his face like a little baby and throws a temper tantrum. Also, everytime Ben goes with cornrows over the Fro, that will totally tick me off. I also dislike his long socks. Some guys can pull it off, he cannot. Andres Nocioni looks like the devil in human form. Plus they wear those satin-ey red uniforms that look more like evening wear at a $20 bordello than a basketball uniform. There is so much to get my blood boiling. :D
Now that I think about it, the only Bull I like all of the time is PJ Brown. He plays pretty good for a senior citizen. Is Ben Gordon an imp or a Vulcan? Kirk Hinrich looks like his albino brother. Did I leave anyone out? Oh yeah, Luol Deng. Sure he's great. Everyone looks great against Antoine Walker.
Chris Duhon < Chucky Atkins!!!
Here is another take form a Chicago sports writer. Daily Herald | Sports
OK Micro and Max. I just went through the comments on blogabull.com and there are a bunch of anti Detroit things on there. Here is the best one... Now I'm starting to work up some hate...that's just ridiculous.
These Chicago writers are so modest. Let's shut 'em up, 'Sheed.
I'm sure Sam "The Sham" Smith will get things fired up... and Albom will try give his egghead reasons why Chitown has bad burgers and stuff. The guy I'm starting to dislike is Thomas... pretty damn cocky for a pup.
I got no problem hating on the bulls. This will be a tough battle and i think the key will be perimeter defence and rips performance. I wonder how hack-a-ben would go down...
Game on the line at the Palace and Ben's FTs to determine the outcome... this is gonna happen.
I certainly hope so.
I expect to see both Hack-a-Ben and Hack-a-Hamilton employed, with both coaches complaining about the other's strategy. Unfortunately, I think Hack-a-Hamilton may be more effective.
I am in Chicago this week, but have to busy to get a sense of the hype over this series,. I have had no access to sports radio during the day and the only paper I have read is the hotel supplied USA Today. I did hear two sportscasters on TV discussing it Monday night and both thought the Pistons would win because they were the experienced/favored team and one guy likened the current Bulls to the 1990 Bulls that played the Pistons tough in the 1990 ECFinals, before losing in seven. (I remember Jordan's comments: we want to be where they are). One guy also thought the Heat would beat the Bulls, so I am not sure what the confidence level is of the bulls fans are yet. Probably if they beat the Pistons, then they will probaly believe they can win the whole thing.
The 2 people I know in Chic both think the Bulls will beat the Pistons. They thought that before the Miami series, I can imagine now. Listen - If I saw Ben Wallace or any other Bull out on public I would definetly shake their hand and treat them with the utmost respect. On the court is a different story. Its ok to hate on these guys when the game is on, thats why they get paid the big bucks. Just don't throw any beers at em eh.. Overall they all annoy me. Dengs experssions after he scores, Nocioni, Henricks temper tantrums, trator Ben. About the only Bull that does not annoy me is Ben Gordan for some reason. If our Pistons cannot get up for this series then its time to bust the team apart and start over. They all think they can beat the Pistons. Especially after sweeping the champs Miami in the 1st round ( which has not been done since 1957 ). I am looking forward to this one more than any of the Indy or NJ series.
Well, that was very insightful. Lots of questions, no answers...
Here's an interesting quote................ "Detroit's the best team in the East," Bulls General Manager John Paxon said. "I know that this year they didn't win as many games as the previous year, but they're a better team overall. Their depth is more trusted by coach Flip Saunders." Ben Wallace.................................
I'm not feeling the big hype here in Chicago. Most of the Bulls fans I know think they have a chance, but are not overly confident. The Pistons have earned a great deal of respect over the past 5 years. I would say that the Bulls fans have about as much confidence in their team as we did in the Tigers last fall. They were really great, but you knew that you were just happy they were in the game. You don't get greedy the first year your team is in contention.
Here's an interesting quote............................. "I'm the one who made Rip Hamilton the best mid-range jumpshooter in the league". "Ask him about it when you see him, 'cause when I was with Detroit and he was with Washington, his first six layup attempts, I threw 'em." Ben Wallace .....................
Well said Tay, someone of the forum who actually makes sense half the time.

I don't know about the buttstock or handguards, but the pistol grip is different between inch and metric. Try the sites Pookie gave you for replacement stocks. To remove the front handguards, just remove the screw that connects them at the front.

I'm lookin to get myself hooked up with a decent jet pack kit - how much should I be looking to spend, and are there any physical differences between the esb / rotj / aotc jet packs (aside from color)?
Printable View
I'm lookin to get myself hooked up with a decent jet pack kit - how much should I be looking to spend, and are there any physical differences between the esb / rotj / aotc jet packs (aside from color)?
very minor ones, and this is depending on what exhibits or reference photos you use. or the maker of the jet pack used.
Some people prefer to have a larger base to the jet pack so they have room for the greeblies that were including in preproduction photos and some exhibits. Also, the exhaust port has vertical slots on some versions and horizontal on others. other than that the jet packs are mostly similar and the main difference is colors and weathering
OK, that's good enough for me.
Now, the nasty part .... How much should I expect to pay for a kit (or is there anyone here that makes and sells em?)
I'd guess at least $250 for a GOOD one since I've not priced one in years I'm not the best gauge in the market..It will be worth it since you'll just wind up building and upgrading as soon as you see one better. Of course if budget constraints are in effect then go with what your pocket allows..
The cheapest you'll find for a :jet pack kit is probably $250.00 I bought one from a TDH member and was very happy with it, you have to paint and assemble. It was vacuum formed with resin rocket, jets, ect. when I got it I lined the inside seams with fiberglass and I am very happy with it. I got it from RT. :thumbsup
jet packs go for between $200-$400
200 would be the most basic rough kit, probably needs to be trimmed and sanded and assembled
and 400 would be mostly complete whether that means no assembly, less painting etc. etc.
unless you are in a big rush i'd wait on it for a bit, like mentioned above don't skimp on anything you are already willing to paY over a hundred dollars for because you'll just be upgrading and it'd be better to just save and purchase something oyu know you will be happy with
boba maker has a jet pack in progres. if you are interested in kits his stuff is usually awesome quality
Thanks guys.
Much appreciated.

Front clip help
I searched the threads in Body - Exterior, looking for some of the guys(gals) in my area that might have experience doing a SERIOUS front clip.
I didn't have any luck. I'm in San Jose, Ca. and am hoping that one or more of you folks in my area might have done a major front clip and might be willing to drop over and lend a little advise.
I have to remove the entire front - from the windshield post forward and section through the floor just in front of the rear door post.
BTW - I photo-shopped the Magnum 500 wheels on since I don't have a pic of the car after I installed them.
(thanks to the folks at National Parts Depot for making their catalog open to copying from the .pdf file)
If any of you have some experience with anything this radical, I would appreciate your posting here or PMing me and hopefully we can set something up.
PS. thanks for the good feedback in "no topic" Mooch. ( and everybody else too!)
Where are all the bay area folks?
I got an e-mail from a dude in So. Cal.
He says "Make sure to keep a pull on the cowl area to prevent and cowl/window frame misalignment, which will cause a ton of problems later"
I'm not sure what he means. While welding together? While cutting off?
I suppose I should have posted this in Body - Exterior but I'm still hoping to hook up with some expert advise from some of the rodders here in the bay area.
I'll ask him but does anybody know what he's talking about?
I wasn't able to pick up the clip today after all. The guy hasn't pulled the engine though it's sold. I took some pictures of the yard. You should see the piles of Mustang stuff! It's a REALLY small yard. He dis-assembles nearly every car he gets in right away.

Here is this week's installment of the "Canisius Men's Basketball Summer Series", a weekly feature that is taking look back at various aspects from the 2012-13 season before eventually a look forward to the 2013-14 campaign. These features will be posted every Monday throughout the summer until Monday, Aug. 26, the first official day of school for the 2013-14 academic year.
To take a look back at the first three weekly recaps, click Week 1, Week 2 or Week 3. This week, we scrap the top-five list and take a closer look inside the numbers.
The 2012-13 season saw a true offensive explosion by the Golden Griffins, just as head coach Jim Baron had promised when he was named the 23rd head coach in school history in April 2012. Baron often talks about his desire to play up-tempo and he has made no secret that he really likes his teams to be active from behind the 3-point line. Last season, Canisius scored 70 or more points 22 times and ended the year averaging 73.5 points per game, which ranked third in the MAAC and 45th in the nation.
2,499 - In 34 games (the most for the program since the 1994-95 season), Canisius tallied a total of 2,499 points, the most in school history. That number was the second-most in the MAAC and also ranked 45th nationally. The program's previous record for total points in a season came during the 1994-95 year when the Blue and Gold scored 2,441 points in 35 contests. The 2012-13 team is only the second squad in school history to score more than 2,400 points in a year, and it marks just the fourth time in school history where the Blue and Gold tallied more than 2,300 points in a single season.
313 – The Griffs knocked down a school-record 313 3-point field goals in 2012-13, which also set a new MAAC record for 3-pointers made in a single season (the previous mark of 312 treys in a year was held by the 2006-07 Marist team). Canisius set a school record with 17 makes from long range in the team's win at Marist Dec. 9, and the Griffs ended the year as the MAAC's leader in 3-point field goals made per game at 9.2 per contest, which ranked third in the nation behind Iowa State and Charleston Southern.
38.6 percent – Canisius led the MAAC and ranked 16th in the country with its 38.6 percent effort from 3-point land, which ranks in the top-20 all-time in MAAC history. On the season, Canisius took a school-record 818 3-pointers, the first time in school history where the Blue and Gold took more than 800 shots from 3-point land. The Griffs had four players on the 2012-13 roster take more than 120 3-point shots, led by guard Isaac Sosa who took 232 shots from deep.
1,172 – Canisius' 1,172 total rebounds in 2012-13 ranks fifth in school history. Four players had 120 or more rebounds, led by forward Chris Manhertz, who pulled down a team-high 297 rebounds in 34 games. Manhertz ended the season ranked second in the league and 55th in the nation with his 8.7 rebounds and he will enter his senior season with 574 career boards, which ranks 18th in the school's history.
584 – Billy Baron wasted little time showing Canisius fans and MAAC observers that he is an offensive threat. After scoring a total of 311 points in his previous 37 career college games, Baron scored 584 points in 2012-13, the most points for a Canisius player in 28 seasons. He scored 30 or more points in three different games during the 2012-13 campaign, highlighted by his career-high 33-point effort in a win at Niagara. Baron ended the season averaging 17.2 points per game, which ranked third in the league and 78th in the nation.
95 – Before transferring to Canisius for his senior year, Isaac Sosa ranked fourth all-time in career 3-pointers made during his time at Central Florida. He carried that long-range accuracy north with him to Buffalo, and he ended his only year in a Griff uniform with 95 3-pointers – the most in school history. His 2.8 3-pointers per game ranked second in the MAAC and 28th in the country.
12 – Canisius set a new school record with 12 wins in the Koessler Athletic Center, highlighted by back-to-back victories over St. Bonaventure and Buffalo in the first consecutive on-campus sellouts in school history. In 16 home dates, the Blue and Gold averaged 1,579 fans with three sellouts, four crowds better than 2,000 and 13 home dates with more than 1,300 fans in the building.
20 – For the sixth time in school history and the first since 2000-01, the Griffs won 20 games. The 20th win of the year came in a memorable fashion, as the team overcame a 22-point second-half deficit to defeat Youngstown State on the road in the second round of the CIT.Next Monday
GoGriffs.com will have a report on what the Griffs are doing to prepare for the 2013-14 season.

I bought it for conceal carry because of the small size and slim frame. Eventually, I traded it away for a IMHO a better firearm, Sigsauer. I'll tell you what I tell anyone who chooses a S&W auto. If and when it breaksdown, you can at least send it back to the factory on S&W's free shipping label. They are good about repairing their products.

Hello everyone.
I am currently teaching in China. I have a BA in English Literature and, after this year, I'll have one years teaching experience and two years experience working with children in various capacities.
I have a question about taking a TEFL course. Many schools ask for a Tefl certificate, and my subsequent research in assessing the value of online courses state that a key part of any tefl teaching program is actual student interaction - a fact also stated by some school recruiters. Yet, considering my experience, would an online tefl course suffice to satisfy the job listings requirement for a "tefl certificate". I could show clearly on my CV I have plenty of experience with young learners in a classroom environment.
Thanks in advance for all assistance

Green Bay Closes Homestand Against Wright State
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Now winners of six straight games, the Green Bay women's basketball team (11-2, 1-0 HL) will wrap up a three-game homestand as Wright State (7-7, 1-0 HL) comes to town. Originally scheduled for a 2 p.m. tip, the game will be played at noon as part of the Back-to-Back-to-Pack promotion. The Phoenix will look to win its 22nd-straight matchup against the Raiders, and continue its streak of outstanding play from its nationally third-best defense.
Green Bay is coming off one of the most dominant defensive outings in program history, a 62-31 win against Detroit on Jan. 8. Green Bay held Detroit to just 26.8 percent from the field, marking the fifth time an opponent have failed to shoot better than 30 percent this season. The Titans' 31 points was the second-lowest total an opponent has scored against the Phoenix in nearly 30 years, and the win also marked the ninth time in 13 games this season an opponent has failed to reach 50 points.
In the win, senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) scored a game-high 19 points and recorded a career-high seven steals, while the Phoenix held the nation's second-leading scorer Shareeta Brown to just eight points on 2-of-4 shooting.
Wright State finishes up its Wisconsin road trip at Green Bay after defeating Milwaukee 71-61 on Thursday. In the win, Horizon League Preseason Player of the Year Kim Demmings scored 35 points on 13-20 shooting with a 5-of-10 mark from behind the arc.
WINNING STREAK NOTES: Green Bay has won six games dating back to a 55-46 win at Marquette on Dec. 8. During the streak, the Phoenix has held opponents to just 39.3 points per game while winning by an average margin of 21.7 points. The Phoenix has connected on 46.4 percent of its shots during the last six games and has outscored opponents by a mark of 206-64 in the paint.
INSIDE THE SERIES: Green Bay is 48-3 all-time against Wright State, including a 19-2 record under Kevin Borseth. The Phoenix has not lost to Wright State since a road setback on Jan. 5, 2004.
Notable Matchups

Printaissance #4 : The Fall of the American Empire is new available!
The fourth issue is a socio-political lit zine which uses historical accounts, modern day headlines, poetry, angry hippie insights and more to compile this ranty look at the parallels in the fall of Rome and the looming fall of the 'American' Empire. It is titled The Fall of the American Empire as a foreshadowing, and foreboding, hint at this possible future that it seems the United States is barreling towards. This issue is certainly an opinionated romp through the darker side of our country and is not for the faint of heart.
Issue 4 (41 half page pages / available for trade)
These are the two zines I created this year.They were each released already but have been repackaged and reprinted.
Brainscan #27
A tiny zine that reads like a snapshot. 1/12 legal sized (3"x4") 28 page mini zine, A single story wrapped in photocopier art. This zine takes place in an elevator between a 9th floor divorce lawyer and the ground and a bike ride home. It explores disappointments and the human inability to consider endings.
"We rode 9 stories down in silence like shedding 9,000 stories of our own"
Brainscan #28
1/6th legal (4.25" square) 28 pages with color covers and color fold outs. This is my 24 hour zine for 2011. It was created in 24 hours at the Independent Publishing Resource Center. The theme was to answer the question "what do you do?" I explored the fact that most people want to know how you make money. I have a sort of strange income to some people so this will answer the question. I also talk about the cats that live in my house and how I have learned to love cats, even though I always thought I was a dog person. I also answer the question "how long have you and Paul been together?" in a fold out time line that includes color photos of us from years past.
This was originally sent to the people who sponsored me in the 24 hour zine challenge. also made 50 copies to trade at the Portland Zine Symposium. After the sleep deprivation of creating a 24 hour zine I wasn't sure if wanted it to be an issue of Brainscan. I decided to go for it and after a bit of tweaking and reformatting I'm re-releasing it as Brainscan 28.

A 79th-minute goal helped lead Rider past the Canisius College men's soccer team on Wednesday afternoon, 2-1. The loss drops the Griffs to 6-9-2 on the season and 2-6-1 in MAAC play, while the Broncs improve to 8-8-1 and 3-5-1 against league foes.
"Outside of the first 20 minutes, I thought we played well today," said Canisius head coach Dermot McGrane. "After missing a penalty, we did a good job of getting ourselves back in the game and tying it up. We were then unfortunate to give up Rider's second goal as it was against the run of play and we had them pinned in their half."
Canisius was awarded a penalty kick in the sixth minute of play when the Rider goalkeeper was called for a foul in the box. However, the goalie made up for his mistake and saved the ensuing kick to keep the game knotted at zero.
The Broncs then took advantage on the other end with a goal in the 17th minute of play when Christian Flath finished from close range for the 1-0 Rider lead.
The Griffs squared the contest at one in the 32nd minute of play when freshman Thomas Teupen netted his first collegiate goal. The rookie defender headed in a long throw-in from senior Andrew Incho, tying the game.
Rider, however, would again reclaim the lead in the 79th minute of play when Justin Veltri netted his second goal of the season to give the Broncs a 2-1 advantage. Canisius was then unable to find the equalizer in the final 11-plus minutes as Rider secured the victory.
The Broncs finished the game with a 17-12 advantage in shots and an 8-3 edge in corner kicks. Freshman John Hollinger stopped a career-best six saves for the Griffs, while David Pastuna recorded five saves for Rider.
Canisius wraps up the 2013 season on Saturday, hosting Monmouth at the Demske Sports Complex. The Senior Night contest is set for 7 p.m.

I'm playing a derv right now as my first character, but I read a lot of stuff about how its not very sought after in PVP.
Can anyone recommend a character that is valuable in PVP and fun in PVE as well?
I'm playing a derv right now as my first character, but I read a lot of stuff about how its not very sought after in PVP.
Can anyone recommend a character that is valuable in PVP and fun in PVE as well?
honeslty the basic classes from prophecies, if your playing a devish and like it, stick to it. as for a class that does well in both, i would say warrior, monk, necro.
I was a derv/monk and I owned in pvp. You just have to have the right skill set up
Never go all attack, you have to be able to provide on partially your own health without a monk. As a derv, I could do pretty well in the game pvp, pve, plus its fun.
I was also a warrior/monk , and could solo trolls and stuff, they are pretty tough and are good in pve and pvp.
Firstly, what PvP are we discussing here? You won't find a dervish a much sought after profession in high 'tier' PvP (GvG, HA) unless the monthly skill balances swing to their favor. However if you are going for casual PvP such as AB or RA, basically anything goes as most of the time winning is always dependent on your luck of having good team mates and stupid opponents.
As for PvE, any profession is as good as the next. You would be better off H/Hing than looking for PUGs to PvE since majority of them are too thick to improvise their builds and are as disorganised as a bunch of nursery children.
Dervs are sickkk in PVP. Just stick to indirect damage earth prayers and wind prayers. wind prayers will help you catch kiters and provide healing. Earth prayers has ebon dust aura, dont know how good it is now, but its still a nice spell. You want to aim for spells that do damage, but still raise your defense.
If you are serious about playing a Derv in pvp, avoid the necro's. Shatter enchantments will ruin you 50 ways to sunday.
(゚、 。 7
l、 ~ヽ.
じしf_, )ノ
Some Derv's are really hard to kill in PVP...and I'm a Mesmer!!! So if I say they're hard, they must be :P. It's not about what class you choose, it's about what skills you have. If you really enjoy playing as a certain class, than stick with it. My main is a Mesmer/Monk, and I do good in both PVP and PVE. I love being a Mesmer.
No class is really stronger than the other, so just pick one that suits your play style.
Bump old topic for Dontkillmydreams, am currently playing a 15 Me/Mo and am having a VERY hard time figuering out how the class works (it's my first GW toon).
Could you tell me which setup works best Inspirition, Domination or Illusion magic ?
Currently got all my skills in Fast Casting and Illusion Magic but I tend to do very low dps and go out of energy/health fast.
Tips are appreciated!
Playing Counter-Strike:Source / League of Legends
Waiting for Guild wars 2 / Diablo 3
Addicted to World of Warcraft
I was a Archer/Monk. For me, it was very fun cus' I'm a long range/ healer fanatic. You get to lay back and debuff, mess around with people and switch to Monk when you need to to heal up your m8s.
It's also fun in PVE as long as you have a party.
hmmm well I played as monk for almost everything ... not healing but a verry powerfull smiter ... I can run gate of madness with my monk heroes verry easely and earn my money by that (8K per person)
for the build u need to do this: start>my documents>guild wars>templates>Right click anywere and select new textdocument (from notepad) open it and copy/paste 'OwAT44HDHqeANymElgfQNy6zkAA' into it> save>name the file> start guild wars> create a monk> and get ur skills and u be so lovely powerfull ^^
u need to edit alittle bit to use it for PVP but u need to d that by urself (I only PVE)
For damage builds though Domination, Illusion, or Fast casting Fire work best. Domination uses Empaty Backfire, and Visions of Regret to destroy PVE mobs. Illusion uses powerul degen spells, and combines it with speed reductions on enemy attack, cast and movement speeds. Fast cast fire takes Fire magic spells with long cast times and speeds up your casting rate, using inspiration magic to power your energy (Lyss's arua is crazy!)
Now for clases for both pvp and pve. First remember that this shouldn't matter, if your doing pvp you should keep a slot open for a pvp character that you can delete and remake at a moments notice.
If you want to use a pve character for GvG(again not recomended for anyone who is not insanely well equipt), your going to want to play Warrior, Ranger, Mesmer, Elementalist, Curses Necros, Monks, or Ritualists.
For Heros Ascent, you can thow in assassins.
For Hero Battles only Assassins and Monks are really playable.
Alliance Battles are the best area in the game for learning to play a monk, though absoluetly any class is viable there
Team arenas, Warrior, Monks, Necros and Rangers are viable, sometimes assassins.

Darkthrone IGN: Why would I tell you that? I hate being attacked.
Anyone that says this or that is better than other is a noob.
Some classes are easier than others example W/M is simple to play.
But a R/N takes more skill, so individually they all do good in pve, pvp all depending on your style
^ Oh really? Try and get 5 consecutive wins in RA 3 times with a dervish and we will have something to agree on.
Sure. But we are talking about dervish as a good profession for pvp. If it can barely last out in RA, how will it last in HA and GvG? 70 base armor, over reliance of enchantments to generate energy to fuel attacks and zero utility skills. In fact I can even go on to include ritualists as another profession as being a slight but still unfavorable in the current pvp meta as well. Go around HA and GvG, tell me if you see any serious guilds are running a dervish or ritualist in their team.
As for rt there like a jack of all trades they can do it all but aint good at a specific thing, so just because some random guilds are noobs dont mean the classes suck.
Tyvm but I think I know more than enough to come to conclusion that your "all professions are equal in pvp" is a fallacy conjured to soothe your ego. And it is not difficult to net 10 consecutive wins in RA if you are willing to play either hybrid monk or interrupt ranger or domination mesmer. I think you are in dire need of 'l2p' if you started
Clearly you haven't been pvping much to see that some professions are clearly better than others.Anyone that says this or that is better than other is a noob.
I really hate to get involed in this flame fest, but nero, you need to support your claim. Name any time in the past six months when dervish has been meta as a primary in gvg or HA. The issue isn't that the class is bad (hell E/D's are still good as a split build), its that it not adaptable to the frontline position it fufills. The class has no method of knocking down targets (the basis for kills with both warriors and assassins), does not have high single target damage (fails on spikes), requires enchantments to be effective in most situations (meaning that rend/strip/any other enchat removal shuts down the class), does not have any significat caster shutdown, does not have any significant melee shutdown unless the dervish himself is being targeted, and if the dervish is healing, it is inferior to N/Rt's in total healing output, and is inferior to monks in damage prevention. (IE. it has none)
Now, for why the class isn't bad.
1. Dervishes hit three enemies with each attack if they are adjacent in the direction you are facing. This might not be useful against any pvp player with half a brian, but in pve, alliance battles or jade quarry it works wonders.
2. Dervishes are extremely hard to take down without good enchantment removal.
3. Dervishes aren't bad healers and the fact that enemies often don't look for dervish healers, and the ability to spam enchants makes the class fairly effective in random arenas.
Comparthe pros to the cons, and I believe theres a farily good reason you will not be seeing dervish primaries in gvg or HA any time soon. (Hell, not in TA either)

Warren Buffet is already paying 7-12 MILLION in just INCOME TAX.
Speaking only for myself, I'm sick and tired of living in debt since Reagan and the Republicans took over. I would vote to use any new revenue to pay down the debt the Republicans have been accumulating all these years. If you're an average Joe or Jane, busting your butt everyday, you pay 25% or 28%. So you're paying almost double the tax rate as the big dogs. Fair and balanced? You tell me?
i just want to know what the left wants to do with the extra money they want to get from the rich. they always talk about taking it. how do they want to spend it?
Heck, I would gladly work for free for a ton of stock options. When that stock is then held for more than a year, they get taxed at 15% whereas the tax rate for "normal income" in that bracket is 35%.

Posted by Diego Lo Giudice on June 28, 2013
I just finished my new report on the Agile testing tools landscape. I'll point Forrester readers to it as soon as it publishes. But there are few things that have struck me since I took over the software quality and testing research coverage at Forrester and which I would like to share with you in this preview of my findings of the testing tools landscape doc.
My research focus area was initially on software development life cycles (SDLCs) with a main focus on Agile and Lean. In fact, my main contribution in the past 12 months has been to the Forrester Agile and Lean playbook, where all my testing research has also focused. Among other reasons, I took the testing research area because testing was becoming more and more a discipline for software developers. So it all made sense for me to extend my software development research focus with testing. But I was not sure how deep testing was really going to integrate with development. My concern was that I'd have to spend too much time on the traditional testing standards, processes, and practices and little on new and more advanced development and testing practices. After 12 months, I am happy to say that it was the right bet! My published recent research shows the shift testing is making, and so does the testing tool landscape document, and here is why:

Commuter Information
For most commuting students, The Concordia Experience involves making the college campus their "home away from home". Here, commuting students discover that relationships with classmates, friends, faculty and staff are vital for taking advantage of all their college has to offer.
Concordia has a strong tradition of campus involvement by
the commuter population. Commuting students participate
in all aspects of campus life, including choirs, athletics,
dramatic productions, yearbook staff, clubs, daily chapel services, community service events, off-campus adventures, and activities planned by the Residence Life Staff. They hold elected or appointed positions in the Student Government Association (SGA), honors societies, and various other clubs and organizations.
A Commuter Council meets weekly on campus to address issues related to commuting students; all commuting students are welcome to attend.
Between classes, The Schoenfeld Campus Center and the Commons are popular places for commuting students to socialize with friends, study, and get something to eat. Each of these locations has WiFi for commuting students' convenience.
The Krenz Academic Center provides quieter study areas, assistance from the librarians and computing stations. All commuting students are provided access to the College's computing network and email, so even when they are home, connections with campus are never more than a click away!
Commuting students who drive to campus must register their vehicle with the Manager of Public Safety, obtain a permit, and park on College property. Lockers are available in the Schoenfeld Campus Center, and can be arranged through College Services.

I have not used the cup, but have used a product called always, looks like a very thin diaphragm and is inserted the same. It's intended for one time use, but I have used one for one period cycle washing with soap and water after emptying it. Usually only need to empty once or twice daily. If you keep it clean, could probably use it for more cycles, very much like the cup, I just like the fit of this better. Should be able to find at most drug store.
|Ah, the joys of menopause
I've been cruising the last five years ... from Mexico, east to the Med. I have NOT had a problem getting birth control. Keep the packages, so that you have the drug names rather than brand name. I usually carry a 12-18 months supply and keep in a dry spot in the bilge (cooler there). It's amazing how affordable it is outside the states (I'm buying it without insurance). If you are willing to carry 12-18 months and depending on your route then you'll be able to buy it in bigger countries (ie NZ, AU).
Talking with your doctor before you leave is Key ... my doctor and I went over every type of bc; we decided against the IUD because I was leaving soon at this point and we wanted longer to "test" it before I headed off to lands unknown. The patch didn't sound good with hot & humid climates, and so on. In the end we figured the pill was best. Also there is now the Seasonal pill - or you can take your normal pill, skipping the sugar pills such that I now only have my period 4 times a year)-- on a boat this is GRAND! Also I arranged it with my doctor so that I could email him if needed ... if I buy a different b control that I'm not sure about I email him the contents just to be sure.
I've found most countries to be well stocked in types, brands, and styles of pads (and mini pads) but NOT tampons. Especially if you want a plastic applicator. I bought a HUGE supply from Costco before leaving, and have just now (five years later) had to look at buying more .. tampons do NOT take up much room - there is always a nook or cranny to fit them into.
We did have to use extra protection during the months we were on anti-malarial pills - so you have to keep stuff like that in mind.
Flying home every year would be grand, but it's expensive - something we couldn't afford. Depending on your age you may not need yearly exams ... in a lot of countries (EU, NZ, AU) women only get exams every 2-3 years (again depending on your age and history).
Seems like the original thread topic is pretty well covered. My man is snipped so we can avoid all the pill complications. This seems like the best method to me. No meds to stock up on or worry about, no implants to go wrong, and most of the surgical options now days are reversable if you decide it's time to add a second mate. However, it might be hard to convince a doctor to do the procedure if your young and don't have kids. I think it's more difficult for a woman to have it done than a man right now. Too many legal issues...
However, on the other topic brought up... I just got my first menstral cup in the mail. If it works the way it's supposed to, I've got a minimum of five years low maintenance, no bulky tampons aboard. Bought mine from MoonCup which you can find on line if curious.
|Hint on storing things like pads, tampons or toilet paper... use a vacuum sealer... they take up a lot less space and will stay dry until needed. Also works for spare parts, like filters, impellers, etc.
I am a woman and I have been cruising and travelling around the world most of my adult life. In countries where contraception is legal, you should not have any problem seeing a doctor and filling your perscription. You MIGHT not be able to get the exact same perscription and that could be an issue. Often you can find a family planning clinic that is staffed by foreign (read western) medical staff.
In any case you will want to talk to your doctor in advance. Be open about your travel plans as you will need to discuss other perscription medication for your emergency first aid kit too. Normally they are able to go a long way in helping you get a good supply on hand up front. Carry an alternative barrier method as well for backup.
Plan ahead, if you do plan to spend time in countries where contraception is illegal. For example, if you plan to sail to Africa, then stock up on contraceptive supplies in Thailand or Israel or another country along the way. Talk to cruising women on site, they will know about availability.
Same with tampons or pads. Take as many as you can before you leave. Empty them out of their cardboard packaging and double pack them in zip lock bags. They will take up less space. They are readily available in western countries as well as many other countries. When you find what you want stock up.
Another quick thought. IUDs work for many women but I would want to try it out for a few months BEFORE going anywhere. The last thing you want to be dealing with are possible bleeding problems at sea or in a foreign country. Just my opinion, as a RN.
Sue K.
Flying home is a good idea - you can see your Gynecologist/Family MD and get your annual checkup, any needed exams (mammogram etc.) and any needed bc pills or other meds. Before you fly home check out if your brand/type is available and whether they need a prescription (which I have been asked for, in Mexico, for example.)
Flying home also has these other benefits: you get to see your family and friends, you can deal with any legal/paperwork matters that might be easier to deal with in person, and you can go shopping and bring back those needed boater bits and electronics, as well as gourmet food items, new books, new shoes etc.
So, budget for it in advance and take advantage of a trip home!
Sue K.
|IUD. Sits there, requires no service, keeps everyone happy for a long long time. There are a few types in US and many more in Europe.
|I have a copper IUD and I love, love, love it! Never have to remember anything and it's good for ten years! No hormones either!

Posted by Cheryl McKinnon on June 27, 2013
A few weeks ago I read a blog post by Seth Godin and it hit me like a ton of bricks: Records management is a skeuomorph. I confess, I had never heard of the term "skeuomorphism" until just a few months ago. I learned the word via blogs and tech articles discussing design trends in mobile.
What is a skeuomorph? A simple definition (courtesy of academic George Basalla, via Wikipedia) is "an element of design or structure that serves little or no purpose in the artifact fashioned from the new material but was essential to the object made from the original material."
In other words, every time we pick up an iPad and download our digital "book" on an electronic "shelf" painted with virtual wood stain – we are engaging with a skeuomorph – like this one:
Image Source: Apple.com
Since joining Forrester this year, I've had the opportunity to get briefed on the RM offerings of many ECM and information governance vendors, and with just a few exceptions, there are some unmistakable common threads I see across products. Top of that list? A user experience that has lifted the paradigm of paper and plopped it on top of an electronic records repository.

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by allezfred, Aug 20, 2011.
Anybody else watching?
Since it seems no-one else was , here are a few of last night's auditions:
Janet Devlin from Norn Iron
Frankie Cocozza Avoid if you don't want to see male bum
Kitty Brucknell This year's Katie Waissel minus the likability.
Goldie Cheung
I'm determined not to get drawn in this year... but saw the Tyrone girl's audition on youtube - wasn't that impressed.
Too early to make any judgements on performance or how they'll do but
Frankie what a big head He reminded me of a young David Essex
Girls love him already
Kitty I disliked immediately .Great voice but there was something about her .She seemed over confident .Telling people they could sell her autograph on Ebay
Little Janet what a sweetie Reminded me a little of Diana Vickers but better.
Thanks for posting.
Couldn't watch last night but have mixed feelings about this year's show. To be left with Louis out of all the four judges is a bit
Did Goldie make it through by the way?
Even though I think Gary Barlow is totally I think he is completely as a judge. It doesn't help that he speaks slowly and sounds like a simpleton. Also he's apparently a really nice guy in real life, so trying to play at being Simon Cowell really doesn't suit him.
Kelly Rowland was a surprise - she seemed brilliant as a judge.
Tulisa seems nice enough, but i had to laugh at a scene from a "coming soon" where she appears to criticise someone's singing ability and they reply with something like "that's rich coming from you" as I'm inclined to agree
I have to say that overall I really liked the show, the audition stages are the most boring episodes to me, but they seem to have dedicated the larger part of the show to the good people, especially the ones that are mentalists that seem like the will be utter crap and then have a passable voice (I'm think the mental blonde girl whose eyes are scarily close together) rather than the car crash awful ones which just annoy me.
I may get sucked into this series yet.
thanks for links Fred.. I really liked Janet Devlin - what a lovely voice and tone and quite unique.. keep us posted please
I'm going to enjoy watching Janet grow in confidence.
They are right...she doesn't know how good she is, or can be.
She will, though, by the end of the process.
It was a pleasure to hear her.
The second coming of Diana Vickers I found Diana to be a bit annoying but i really liked Janet's audition.
No X Factor for me this year
What do you mean by this? Not available in your country or you're purposely not going to watch this season?
Louis seems slightly likeable this year, and Gary seems like he has a pickle stuck up his you know what.
Kelly Rowland is the best judge evah!
I just wish they got rid of Louis.
And if there was still anybody who didn't realise that Gary Barlow is an ass, there's your confirmation.
All the contestants on the first show (other than the amazing Goldie Cheung ) were so annoying.
Frankie and Kitty seemed like total assholes and Janet's heavy breathing, that she wasn't controlling whatsoever, made it impossible to focus on her singing. Yes, she has potential but needs loads and loads of work. She should come back next year.
I've watched a bit just to see how Kelly Rowland is doing as a judge and I think she's great so far. She should replace Jennifer Lopez or Randy Jackson or both on American Idol.
Catching up catching uuuuuuup!
Oh damn, too bad I can only watch a few editions. Kelly R. is fab Gary B. speaks my mind They have replaced everyone but Louis? Louis of all people? No clue who Tulisa is
Four weeks into the show and I finally managed to catch some of the action.
I'm surprised at how quickly I got used to the new judges. Kelly is a natural and she's completely taken over the panel. I'm also rather amused by the constant smirk on Barlow's face.
Here are some of the high (and low) lights of this week's show.
Samantha Brooks: http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECJegEdcja0
Kendro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NMCOuuqGB0
Lascel Wood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hntQthPMOdA
Twisted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhDJ2Q4r4vs
Kelly c r a c k s me up! Fabulous!
Rumours of Cheryl coming back to the judging panel (possibly in Tulisa's place) emerged a couple of days ago:
I'd imagine that's the winner.
I do too which means we're probably both wrong.
Love, love Kelly Rowland.
I wouldn't mind that Love Cheryl. Tulisa is a bit boring.
Can't wait for the next DVDs. Fred, tell me they are on the way!
They are in the post. Sent them on Monday this time.
Hope so, love his voice
If she does, then this was always the plan from the very beginning.
I'm inclined to believe it's true on the basis that Cheryl's new L'oreal advert has started airing in the breaks on X factor.
I'm guessing there would be no replacement but simply another category invented. Maybe boys under X age, boys over X age, same two categories but girls, and then groups.
I've certainly not missed Cheryl being on the show
I'm not sure how many more Wagners, John Adelye's, and Storm's this show needs. There's some good older people in Australia this season actually. I can't remember too many good older people in the UK from this season though, and certainly not last season....
Actually last season the original "over 25s" category would have been, I think, the strongest category and it also held the ultimate winner - Matt Cardle. When they changed it to over 28 (presumably because the boys and girls categories were not as strong as expected), Matt cardle and at least one of the girls who originally auditioned for the overs group then became part of the boys/girls category.
Oh right, I forgot the age limits change. The format is frustrating sometimes because some categories can be stacked with great talent and then others are crap, but you have to have 3 (or 4) of each only. I'd have much preferred Gamu and Tom Richards to John A. and Storm. Although Cheryl really didn't need to pick Katie Waissel and that would have helped the situation. Many times, the groups are really horrible too. There should be a way for a mentor to say to the groups, sorry but most of you suck, I'm going with that other mentor and taking some of the acts they don't want. OR like The Voice, the mentor could choose which acts they want to work with, regardless of category. Just keep it open to groups and older people so at least they have a chance to compete if they're good enough.
Kendro is like Johnny times 2
Did anyone catch the previews to next weeks bootcamp after last nights show? Kitty Brucknell looks as though she goes into total meltdown. Hopefully the panel will put her out of her misery and not do something as stupid as invite her to judges houses, or worse yet, the live shows
Innit. Although I fear the worst.

Hey, everyone. First off, let me apologize if I am bringing up a thread subject that could be better dealt with in another section of the forum OR has already been handled.
I am building a custom mando suit. I have reached an impasse in the footwear area. I originally intended to imitate the jango fett boot / shin pad on flightsuit style. However, after looking at it more, I would REALLY prefer to make a knee high boot style.
My first plan was to attach just shin plates directly to a comfortable pair of boots. Then, after watching CLone Wars again and seeing all of these cool clone suits, I decided that imitating the clone trooper shin/knee armor like the jedi generals did would be best!
(this is NOT exactly the style of shin armor i'm planning to build, but it does illustrate the basic idea.)
My plan is to build the shin/calf/knee armor, then use a comfy boot as a base to mount the armor on.
Does anyone know where I can find templates for the clone trooper leg armor?
p.s. and if the same location had some templates for the forearm/bicep armor, that would also be great.

Natural Balance rolls will work
David Winners
|If we need to change a routine we just change it . And I agree with David, quality of time not quantity.
|Charlie W
I work full time and my husband works for 8 months of the year. For the four months when he doesn't work, the dogs get used to having him there pretty much round the clock. When he goes back to work they revert to being alone for about 9 hours, 3 or 4 days a week depending on how our shifts fall. They seem to just adapt, they have a lot of exercise and attention when we are there and I have never seen any sign that they are in any way stressed when things change.
I think the handmade dog treats might be a hard act to follow though
|David Winners
I would have a plan and schedule worked out before bringing him home. If you could exercise and do some training before work and then right after work, with some quality time before bed, he should be fine. The dog walker could be a good idea if the dog is of the right temperament.
Changing his routine is fine as long as things are as clear and predictable as possible when the change happens. Some would advocate the 2 week shut down. I have no experience with this but it has many supporters.
I find that quantity is not as important as quality when considering the time spent with the dog.
David Winners
Any tips for drastically changing a dog's schedule/routine?
I apologize if this isn't in the correct section.
In October, my current job gave me an assignment that required me to travel extensively. Sora was 8 months old at the time, and since my husband works 80 hour weeks, we thought it was best to place Sora temporarily with my parents. My parents have been very, very graciously watching him for us.
Well, now that my work assignment is drawing to a close, I am preparing to take Sora back to our home, but I am feeling a little anxious about it. My parents are retired and spend all day at home. Sora is never alone. He has access to a large, fenced backyard, and he gets countless hours of playtime and potty breaks. My parents also haven't been crating him. In short, he has been absolutely spoiled rotten (Did I mention that my mom is a retired chef and also makes him handmade dog treats? I have some SERIOUS competition here!)
I work full-time. For the first 8 months of Sora's life, he spent most of his day alone (I would come home at lunch to let him out.) Our backyard is very large but not fenced, so he will be on leash for exercise once again. I also have plans to crate him because I find that it helps him relax and sleep much better (but I do feel that we might have to reintroduce the crate!) We spend every minute of our weekends together, of course, and every free minute of our work day mornings and evenings!
Anyway, I am concerned that he is going to react very poorly from having someone always in the house with him 24/7 to having no one in the house with him for quite some time. I was hoping that someone could provide some insight and tips to facilitate bringing him home and helping him adapt to the 'old routine'. He is not yet neutered per our vet's recommendation, so sadly, anything like dog daycare would be unfeasible at this moment in time. My work breaks are pretty short, so my other option I was considering was hiring a dog walker, but I'm still not sure if that would help him adjust at all. Thank you in advance!

Debt Busters is the condensed version of Concord's Principles & Priorities exercise. Unlike Principles & Priorities, this activity takes only about forty minutes to complete. In that time, participants will learn the basics of budget reform and will encounter the same tough choices that make solving the deficit so difficult. Debt Buster categories include discretionary spending, health care, security, entitlement spending, and various tax policies. As participants move through these categories, they can track and sum the effects of their policy decisions on the tally sheet provided.

I'm going to set off on my teaching and travelling career in Janurary, and if anyone has any advice on a lightweight small and portable laptop I'd love to hear it, the smaller/lighter/more robust the better as I'll be lugging round dive gear aswell! (and I know some compromise to meet those specs with no CD drive, but I reckon I'll need one for acessing teaching materials and the like).
The budget is definately under a grand, the more change left over the better!

"This is not a deal to fix the problem, it's a deal to diffuse the fiscal cliff," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, a bipartisan think tank that favors a balanced budget. . . .
"The bigger problem is the basic unsustainability of our entitlement programs versus our tax income," Bixby said.
Many who receive benefits such as Medicare and Social Security bristle at the term "entitlement," arguing that they paid for them. But they didn't, at least not fully. The benefits they extract, especially from Medicare, far exceed their contributions through payroll taxes.
While lawmakers have vowed to reform entitlements and taxes next year, it's not clear that they have the political will left, giving the grueling fiscal cliff showdown, Bixby said.

Hi Lucy. I was given a class on saturdays at 8 in the morning. For three teenager two boys and one girl. they are among 14 and 15 years old. They have had 4 lessons all of them with different teachers. They are supposed to be upper intermidiate.
My problem is that they don´t want to be there. They´d rather be sleeping at their homes. They´re going to the institutes because their parents told them. They told me the previous class that they are tired of studying english! They weren´t that bad, but they just wanted the time to pass by and go home.
I was supposed to made a review and they had a quiz the same day. They told me we already have seen that topic with the other teachers, but they don´t manage well the topics. They have an idea...
Well, I don´t know how to motivate these students and furthermore, I don´t think they want to review those topics again, because they didn´t very well in the quiz. Am I supposed to be more flexible with teenagers? I have never work with them.
By the way, I´m in a spanish country and I´m not a english native teacher. So. if you find some mistakes and you don´t mind please feel free to correct me.

University of Delaware Womens Golfers Move Up One Spot, Finish Eighth at 36th Annual FIU Pat Bradley Invitational
LAKEWOOD RANCH, Fla. -- The University of Delaware women's golf team carded a 300 score on Tuesday as the Blue Hens moved up one spot to finish in eighth place out of 17 squads this week at the 36th Annual FIU Pat Bradley Invitational.
Delaware, which posted team rounds of 303 on Sunday and 296 on Monday, finished with a score of 899, the lowest three-round total in the program's three-year history. Missouri captured the team title with an 873 score, while Daytona State finished second just one shot back at 874. The host Panthers came in third place at 876, Maryland finished fourth at 878, and Memphis rounded out the top five at 892.
Blue Hen junior Amanda Terzian carded an even par 72 on Tuesday on the par 72, 6,275-yard Cypress Links course at Lakewood Ranch Country Club, and tied for 16th place in the individual standings with a four over par 76-72-72-220.

text: I knew they scheduled their own non-conference opponents (and the date and venue of those games), but I didn't know they decided WHEN they play their conference opponents. That seems to me like an idiotic (NOT gutsy) move by the athletic director. I looked at the schedule and figured their season would be over after that gauntlet of games. But it makes me ill to think that the Spartans CHOSE to do it that way. They will be lucky to go 2-2. But it probably doesn't matter because they look pretty bad, anyhow.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says voters want leaders who "stand up and make tough decisions."
Walker spoke late Tuesday to a crowd of supporters at his campaign headquarters in Waukesha. During his remarks, the crowd erupted into chants of "Thank you, Scott!"
Walker defeated Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to become the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election.
He says he wants to invite lawmakers to gather over burgers and brats as soon as next week to talk about ways to bridge the political divide that has gripped the state for more than a year.
