If self-care strategies and over-the-counter (nonprescription) products haven't helped, your doctor may suggest a combination of prescription drugs and other approaches. But even if you find relief from your signs and symptoms, repeat infections are common.
Oral antifungal drugs. Your doctor may prescribe an oral antifungal drug. Studies show the most effective treatments are terbinafine (Lamisil) and itraconazole (Sporanox). These drugs help a new nail grow free of infection, slowly replacing the infected part.
You typically take this type of drug for six to 12 weeks. But you won't see the end result of treatment until the nail grows back completely. It may take four months or longer to eliminate an infection.
Treatment success rates with these drugs appear to be lower in adults over age 65. And treatment success seems to improve when you combine oral and topical antifungal therapies.
Oral antifungal drugs may cause side effects ranging from skin rash to liver damage. You may need occasional blood tests to check on how you're doing with these types of drugs. Doctors may not recommend them for people with liver disease or congestive heart failure or those taking certain medications.
Medicated nail cream. Your doctor may prescribe an antifungal cream, which you rub into your infected nails after soaking. These creams may work better if you first thin the nails. This helps the medication get through the hard nail surface to the underlying fungus.
To thin nails, you apply an over-the-counter (nonprescription) lotion containing urea. Or your doctor may thin the surface of the nail (debride) with a file or other tool.
Laser and light-based therapies. More study is needed, but these methods — alone or with medications — may help your nails improve. One study tested the effectiveness of carbon-dioxide laser therapy combined with antifungal nail cream. Most of the 24 people in the study benefited from the treatment.
Laser and light-based therapies are not available everywhere, are expensive, and often are not covered by insurance.

Time to start planting
Now that the snow is melting, it's time to plant cool-weather crops outdoors, according to the experts at Wasatch Community Gardens and Utah State University Extension programs. Crops that can take a bit of cold include leaf lettuce, arugula and spinach; root vegetables including carrots, radishes, turnips and parsnips; onions; and early season peas.
It's also a good time to start seeds indoors. You can do this with tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, okra, tomatillos and basil. If you do it now, they will have six to eight weeks to grow before it's transplanting outdoors. The best time to transplant is after the last frost, which is usually in mid-May.

Wow, I cant believe Im even starting this thread. After five years of collecting Fett gear Im finally ready to start my build. My plan of attack over the years was to look, poke around, ask questions here and there and pin point my direction then pickup items from time to time when available. This quest and I have a love hate relationship but through it all I could always count on TDH to pick my spirit back up again and to give me the encouragement I needed to push forward. Every post or thread that is shared with fellow TDH members is and becomes someone ells pick me up and lets us know that we are not alone. Ok I didnt mean to get all sappy gee BTW my spelling/grammer sucks so sorry if bugs anyone
Direction: PP2
1979-80ish, Mom and my sisters took me to a Mervyns department store when I was a kid, they made a big deal about going I didnt understand why. We get there and theres a big crowd gathering and a helicopter is landing in the parking lot. The helicopter door opens and out comes holy **** Darth Vader!!! I believe this was promotional for ESB at the time. The signing was great! To be up close to Vader as a kid was nuts but that day I went home with two action figures, a Darth Vader and some guy named Boba Fett with a Yellow gauntlet. I saw ESB and ROTJ just like everyone ells but never understood why my Boba had a yellow Gauntlet. So after hanging around here for a while, I knew I wanted to build a PP2 Fett
Ok to the build
Over the years I have picked up many PP2 items and in the last six months I have been building, sanding painting and weathering items here and there. My hope is to bring everyone up to speed on where I am at this point and then to update this thread as I go.
The Collectiion so far and I do understand some parts still need to be altered for PP2.
Thanks for looking, please feel free to add your thought, Take care.

As you're posting this in the "New to handguns" area, I would assume that you are in fact, new to handguns. If such is true, I would strongly recommend the 9mm over either the .45 or .40S&W as far as "fist" handguns go in terms of center-fire pistols.
The 9mm typically has less felt recoil than either and costs less.
A lot of people that start with .40s and either A: Don't shoot enough. B: Don't seek out competent instruction. Or C: A&B end up developing very bad flinching issues with the .40 and when they move to something else, that flinch stays.
This is something I've been saying for years and I was quite happy to see a genuine professional state the same. As well as several other instructors I know of from various shooting backgrounds. Most of the professional instructors I know recommend the 9mm.
Now, as far as your two choices are concerned, I would opt for the .45.
But it really depends on what exact guns you're talking about. There are some guns I would prefer in .40, and others I would prefer in .45ACP.
Kahr - .40, preferably a K40
Sig - .45 in the P220 variants
Ruger - .45ACP in the SR1911
HK - .45 in the HK45 or 45C
Bersa - would have to go with a 9mm
Glock - .45 via the Glock 30SF
Colt - .45 (good luck trying to find a .40, they're out there but not easy to find)
I'd take a look at any "mid-size" 9mm.
Smith & Wesson M&P
Springfield XD/XDM
Glock 19
Sig 228/229
Try and find a range that has rentals, shoot a couple of models, find out what you like and don't like, then start looking at holster selection. Beware comments that include "Choose what feels best in your hand" or "I carry _____"
Just be an informed consumer, do your research including hands on, live fire testing of makes/models and stick the the major brands and you should be OK.

- "I can pulp your flesh and snap your bones in less than a second and without so much as lifting a finger. What is the power of technology compared to that?"
- — Vel'Cona, Chief Librarian of the Salamanders
Librarians are the psykers of the Space Marines who survive an Adeptus Astartes Chapter's rigorous screening and training to bend the powers of the Warp to their will for the benefit of their fellow Battle-Brothers and in service to the Emperor of Mankind. Beyond their psychic duties, the Librarians of the Astartes are also expected to record the great deeds of their Chapter and maintain the Chapter's storehouse of ancient lore, the functions for which they are named. A Librarian is often estranged from the other members of his Chapter. This is usually because the psychic abilities he possesses are what his brother Space Marines are often expected to abhor and purge in most other beings. Space Marine Librarians use their abilities to serve the various undertakings of their Chapter; however, their actual place in the order of battle is always with the Librarium in a Codex Astartes-compliant Chapter. As the name suggests, the Librarium is a place within a Space Marine Chapter's fortress-monastery where the Chapter's vast knowledge base, gathered over millennia of hard-fought battles and participation in engagements the length and breadth of the galaxy, is stored.
Space Marine Librarians are generally classified in one of four ranks, each with its own duties and responsibilities within the Librarium. The Librarium is led by the veteran Space Marine psyker who bears the rank of Chief Librarian. The Chief Librarian is usually, but not always, the most venerable of his psyker brothers. The Chapter's most potent battlefield psykers are the Epistolaries, each a hardened veteran of many wars. The Chapter's psychic communications and the Librarium's records are maintained by the Codiciers and the Lexicani (sing. Lexicanium), respectively. These ranks and responsibilities may vary from Chapter to Chapter.
The Imperium is eternally vigilant for the taint of mutation. Space Marine Chapters are, if anything, even more careful to ensure that their gene-seed is not polluted. Apothecaries rigorously screen potential recruits for any sign of genetic deviation, but not all mutation is physical. Psychic talent is a mutation too, and is at once the most dangerous and the most useful. The training of a Chapter's nascent psykers is one of the many responsibilities of the Librarius.
Few normal Space Marine recruits survive the rigorous training, enhancement and indoctrination required to join a Chapter. Amongst Librarians, the attrition is far worse. The Aspirant must not only endure everything a normal recruit would, but also have a strong enough spirit to withstand the moulding of his mind. A recruit must be taught how to hone and wield his powers, and how to protect himself from the Empyrean's innate hazards. A Librarian faces a thousand enemies before he even goes to war –- to the creatures of the Warp, his mind is a choice prize. Each day is a walk along a precipice, and a false step can see him tumble into madness.
If a recruit survives the rigorous testing, he joins the Librarius as a Lexicanium, rising through the ranks to become Codicier, Epistolary or perhaps even the Chapter's Chief Librarian. He will use his abilities to pierce the Warp and provide the means for interstellar communication, as well as to identify others of his own kind. He will judge them as he was himself once judged, scrutinising potential candidates and peers for frailty of mind or spirit. A moment's weakness can unleash untold evils, and vigil must be kept against any wavering of purpose.
In addition to training psychic recruits, the Chapter's Librarius is also charged with recording the history of the Chapter. Librarians hold a functionary rank, describing their role within the Librarius as well as their position within the Chapter's hierarchy. Lexicaniums, for example, are responsible for preparing reports of battle for the Chapter's records, whilst Codiciers provide a strategic overview of the whole theatre of a war. After decades of study and book keeping, a Librarian will be well-versed in the history and lore of his Chapter, and both his wisdom and counsel will be highly regarded by the Masters of the Chapter.
Most Librarian battle-disciplines focus on enhancing their already formidable combat prowess. Many can use their psychic powers to throw powerful energy bolts, project force shields or increase their might to demigod-like proportions. Some can step outside of time, slow the enemy's movements or redirect bullets with the sheer power of their minds. Even so, the most skilled Librarians can master more subtle gifts, learning how to read the Emperor's Tarot and sense the movement of daemons through Warpspace. A Librarian can feel the psychic shock waves that herald the arrival of a voidcraft from the Warp, or the turmoil they leave in their wake as they depart realspace. These powers, and more, set Librarians apart from their Battle-Brothers, yet their presence is always welcomed on the field of battle. In all of the Imperium, there are few greater warrior mystics than Space Marine Librarians, with their potent combination of the prowess of an Adeptus Astartes with the unearthly powers of the Warp.
The Imperial records concerning the origins of the Space Marine Librarians are murky and mired in legend rather than hard facts like much of the history of the Imperium's early days. However, according to the chronicler Saphrus the Ancient, during the Great Crusade of the early 31st Millennium the Emperor of Mankind held a great Imperial conclave, the Council of Nikaea, on the newly-terraformed planet of the same name, to determine whether human psychic powers and the practice of psychic sorcery presented a danger to the newborn Imperium of Man and its people. Within the Imperium there were those, like the Thousand Sons Space Marines Legion of the Primarch Magnus the Red, himself a powerful psyker, who had an extremely high rate of psychic mutation and regularly used psychic abilities and sorcery to expand the growing Imperium's reach across the galaxy. Others, such as the Space Wolves Legion of the Primarch Leman Russ and the Witch Hunters known as the Sisters of Silence, held that all psykers, even those who were Astartes like the Thousand Sons, represented a grave threat to the human race. Some Primarchs had accepted the ideas of Magnus on the beneficial use of psychic abilities in their own Legions, while others like Leman Russ refused to deal with what they saw as dishonourable deception and unnatural witchery and outlawed all psychic powers as simply sorcery by another name.
The Emperor invited the advocates of both sides to attend the conclave and at the Council on Nikaea they argued each other to a standstill. It was only the intervention of a contingent of Space Marine Librarians from the other Legions besides the Thousand Sons that presented a compromise. Their proposal was that while the Imperial education of psykers to best serve humanity should be made a priority, the conduct of psychic sorcery would be outlawed as an unforgivable heresy, since psykers were simply tools who could serve Mankind for good or ill, but the powers of sorcery could only be gained by treating with the foul denizens of the Warp whose malevolent intentions were often manifest. This compromise was rejected by the Emperor once it was revealed that Magnus the Red had continued to explore the power of sorcery after the Emperor had warned him of its dangers. The Emperor disregarded the proposed compromise and ordered all of the Space Marine Legions to disband their Librariums and for Astartes Librarians to return to service as line warriors and never use their psychic abilities again. Unfortunately, after the outbreak of the Horus Heresy, it became clear that the Forces of Chaos could not be defeated unless the Loyalists were also able to draw upon the power of the Warp. Following the end of the Heresy, the original compromise proposed at Nikaea was adopted as law without a provision for rebuttal, and it has stood for ten thousand standard years as the official policy of the Imperium on the use of psychic powers. Today, in the 41st Millennium, each Chapter remains vigilant to ensure that new recruits will not taint the gene-seed of the Chapter through mutation. However, the psyker mutation is often encouraged, and these Astartes are then inducted into the Chapter's corps of Librarians.
The Librarium
At the centre of a Chapter's fortress-monastery there usually lies a vast sealed chamber known as the Librarium that is filled from floor to ceiling with books, scrolls, and data crystals. Overseen by the Chief Librarian and maintained by Lexicaniums and Codiciers (supported by a small army of Servitors and Chapter Serf scribes who work ceaselessly), the Librarium is the repository of all the Chapter's knowledge and history. Even within the Chapter, few are given access to this chamber and fewer still have the chance to study its texts. Even the most well-read Imperial scholar or Administratum Adept can only guess at the secrets and lore contained within one of the fabled Space Marine Librariums. This repository is a wealth of knowledge that the Chapter Master guards well, knowing that in times of need he may have to call upon the counsel of his Librarians and the lore they possess to guide him in battle.
In the heart of the Librarium there is also a smaller inner chamber, carefully sealed and protected, known as the Librarius. This is where the Chapter stores its artefacts, trophies, and proscribed texts, many of which are taken from the corpses of Heretics and aliens—unfit or too dangerous for the eyes of any but the Chief Librarian. It is often a point of friction between the Ecclesiarchy and the Adeptus Astartes that its Chapters possess such items or take them from their foes in battle. Of course, not even the most reckless Imperial Cardinal would dare consider confronting any Space Marine Chapter over this matter.
Psychic Abilities
- "The power of a psyker is darkness, fire, and death, given life and purpose to rend souls and break minds."
- — First line of the Litany of Lies and Truths
Psychic powers are the physical manifestation of a Librarian's abilities, and mark him as distinct from any other individual within a Space Marine Chapter. Librarians of Codicier rank and above make use of their psychic abilities in combat. These include the ability to project their consciousness above the battlefield so that they can get a bird's-eye view of the combat in a ritual that commences with the recitation of the Litany of Sight Beyond Sight. Doing so opens a wound on their forehead exposing their psychic Third Eye, which allows them to view locations that would normally be obscured. Librarians can channel psychic energy (often through Force Weapons) to deal greater damage than a normal melee attack would allow. They can also read the minds of others, unless they are protected by psychic shields. Some Librarians are sensitive enough to determine the last thoughts of the dead before their souls were absorbed into the Immaterium and can even see the emotions that have strongly influenced a place. Librarians are capable of telepathic communication across vast distances and can also read the ever-shifting tides of the Warp, allowing them to sometimes demonstrate the capability of foreseeing probable futures through limited displays of precognition. Other psychic combat abilities commonly used by Librarians include the following powers:
Telepathy Powers
- Astrotelepathy - Librarians can use their gifts to send psychic messages and communications across the vastness of the void in the same manner as an Astropath. It is, however, a task that is undertaken sparingly, as like much of the rest of the Imperium's forces Space Marines make extensive use of Astropaths, reserving their gifted Battle-Brothers for more vital tasks. Any Librarian can use Astrotelepathy, provided he has enough time and skill—yet sending a message across the stars is a far cry from communicating with someone on the same world or even a vessel in orbit.
- Compel - This power allows the Librarian to force others to briefly act against their will.
- Dominate - The Librarian may take over the mind of another, controlling his victim with his will.
- Inspire - A Librarian can bolster his Battle-Brothers by sending out waves of reassurance and calm.
- Long-Range Telepathy - This ability functions just the same as Short-range Telepathy, but with an extended range. In addition, once the psyker learns this power, such is his mastery of telepathy that he no longer incurs a chance of invoking an unwanted psychic attack or other phenomenon from the unpredictable eddies of the Warp when using either Short- or Long-range Telepathy.
- Mind Probe - This power allows the Librarian to peel back the layers of another's mind to read the basic surface thoughts and then penetrate beyond.
- Mind Scan - A Librarian can extend his mind to contact and identify other sentient minds within range, even if they are out of sight, enabling him to garner impressions and information about the consciousnesses.
- Short-Range Telepathy - A Librarian can send his thoughts into the minds of those around him for a short distance, making a generalised broadcast to every mind within a short range indiscriminately.
Divination Powers
- Augury - By reading the Emperor's Tarot for a specific individual, the Librarian can grant insight into what troubles lie ahead. During the reading both the Librarian and the subject must remain in physical contact and no other actions may be taken by either of them. The psyker must then ask a specific question. After making their specific inquiry, the Librarian is able to read the Emperor's Tarot for the subject as they both concentrate on the question asked. At the end of this time the psyker interprets the Tarot and garners the results. The Warp is a capricious thing and seldom gives straight answers, often wrapping truths in riddles and lies.
- Divination - The Librarian can use this power to locate and track down a single object or person in his immediate vicinity. He can find anything, but there must be some degree of familiarity such as touching an object. When seeking an individual, the Librarian must have seen the person he wants to find, or the subject's true name.
- Lifting the Veil - Lifting the Veil is an extension of the art of Psychometry and allows a Librarian to look beyond individual psychic traces and relive the past of a place or item.
- Possibility Shield - Using his understanding of future events and his perception of the flow of time, the Librarian is able to surround himself and nearby allies in a possibility shield which makes certain events more likely and others, such as being injured or slain, less so.
- Psychometry - Learning to read the Emperor's Tarot is in part the act of learning to divine the Emperor's word from psychic impressions. Refining this skill allows the Librarian to learn more about others from the crude psychic traces they leave behind on objects in the world around them. In this form, the Librarian can gain rough impressions from a personal object such as an article of clothing or a weapon. The level of information he gains depends upon how potent his individual psychic abilities are.
- Reading - Librarians that have the abilities of Diviners can read a person's aura, the unconscious projection of his soul into the Warp. This is a very pale shadow, unnoticed by most beings, but a diviner can study this aura to learn about the person. When the Librarian activates divination, he can attempt to read the aura of any person he can see.
Codex Astartes Powers
- Avenger - The Librarian summons up the ancestors of his Chapter and shapes them into a flaming, vengeful avatar of death. The construct then billows forward to incinerate those in its path.
- Force Dome - Summoning up a shimmering field of force, the Librarian fashions a shell around himself and nearby allies. The shell is a sphere extending up to the radius around, above, and below the Librarian and protecting him and any within it. This shell provides protection against all kinds of ranged attacks or hazardous environmental effects, even trapping air and water within it. However, it will not stop melee attacks or creatures (friend or foe) that may pass through it without restriction.
- The Gaze of Infinity - Rending the veil between worlds, the Librarian creates a rift through which he and his allies might pass. The size of the rift depends on the power used to create it. The rift will remain open for a short amount of time or until the Librarian himself passes through it, at which time it will instantly close. This power is incredibly taxing and requires at least 12 hours of recovery time before it may be used again.
- Iron Arm - The Librarian sheathes his arm in an impenetrable field of energy with the power to ward off powerful melee attacks. Unfortunately, this power prevents the Librarian from using his arm for any other purpose, such as wielding a weapon, climbing, and so on.
- Machine Curse - The Librarian calls down a terrible curse on nearby machines and vehicles. The Librarian can either target a single vehicle (such as a battle tank or Land Speeder) or a number of mechanical devices (such as guns or Servitors).
- Might of the Ancients - Tapping into the deadly powers of the Immaterium, the Librarian infuses himself with psychic energy, increasing his psychical prowess and strength of arms to exceptional levels, to vanquish the foes of the Emperor of Mankind. This ability is most useful to the Librarian when used during melee combat.
- Smite - The Librarian conjurers up lethal bolts of lightning that leap from his hands to burn and blast his enemies into ash.
- Veil of Time - The Librarian attempts to predict the near future, seeing the flow of events and the actions of others. While this power is in effect, the Librarian benefits from this foreknowledge.
- Vortex of Doom - In a moment of pure desperation, the Librarian unleashes the full force of his psychic talents. With an utter disregard for reality, the Librarian opens up a flickering vortex in the fabric of space-time. The vortex is 2 metres in diameter and may be placed anywhere within range of the psyker. Once created, however, the Librarian has no more control over it. Having an open rift to the Warp is dangerous to the souls of anyone present. The Librarian making use of it can easily lose control of the Warp vortex the first time any creature comes within 10 metres of it, unwittingly unleashing it on friend and enemy alike until it has run its devastating course.
The Aspirants and newly-implanted Neophytes of all Space Marine Chapters are screened by the Chapter's Librarians for signs of psychic capability. Those who possess the potential to become a Librarian are then forced to undergo the same trials and sufferings all other Space Marine Neophytes of their Chapter face, but they also have to learn to harness their powers and protect their minds from the daemonic dangers of the Warp. As Space Marines are far stronger mentally and physically than an ordinary man, their flesh is ideal for daemons to inhabit as a daemonhost. For a Librarian, each day is a long walk along a narrow path which, should they stumble or stray, leads only to madness, possession and the deaths or destruction of all that they hold dear. The training within a Chapter to become a Librarian is very difficult, as new Librarians must not only be strong enough to survive the rigours of their training, but possess enough mental discipline to fend off the daemons and entities of the Warp, as these creatures see the enhanced form and mind of a Librarian as a great prize through which they could work much evil in the material world.
Codex Librarians
Each Chapter selects its Librarians in its own way, either from seed worlds, as it does with the bulk of its Initiates, or from the ranks of gifted psykers brought to the Scholastica Psykana. Most Chapters train and test chosen psykers following the ancient ways laid out in the Codex Astartes. Librarians of the Ultramarines, Blood Angels, Dark Angels, and Storm Wardens are all trained in this way, and, with few minor traditional variances, have been taught to live by the word of the Codex. There are, however, a few notable Chapters that do not follow the Codex Astartes and its laws regarding the treatment and control of psykers, including:
- Black Templars - Deeply religious and reverent of the Emperor, the Black Templars are zealots with a deep and abiding hatred of the witch. Such is their disdain of those with psychic powers that they count no Librarians amongst their number lest they foul the Chapter's pristine gene-seed. The tasks of the Librarian, such as record-keeping and the study of lore, are divided among scholarly Battle-Brothers without the taint of the witch within the Chapter. Often an individual Black Templars Space Marine or Chapter Master will be responsible for maintaining a record of his own deeds—inscribing them on his armour so that nobody may doubt his courage or lineage.
- Space Wolves - There are few things that are "standard" about the Sons of Leman Russ, and so it is no surprise that they treat their psykers differently than the rest of the Adeptus Astartes. The Space Wolves do not have Librarians or even a Librarium, scorning such dusty and lifeless collections of knowledge. Instead they adhere to the ancient Fenrisian traditions of their ancestors, and those with psychic gifts become Rune Priests—skalds and storytellers who keep the Chapter's practices and history alive through millennia-old oral traditions. While Rune Priests use their own powers and train in their own way, they function much as other Space Marine Librarians do, tapping into the Warp and drawing forth power to create psychic effects and reshape reality.
- White Scars - The Zadyin Arga or "Stormseers" of the White Scars perform the same functions as other Chapters' cadre of Librarians, though the Stormseers emerge from the deeply-ingrained mystical traditions of the tribal shamans and holy men who rode the plains of Chogoris with their Primarch Jaghatai Khan before the coming of the Emperor to Mundus Planus. Since the time before their Chapter's inception, when they were the shamans who first named Jaghatai Khan the Great Khan of the nomadic tribes, the Storm Seers have been called upon to continue to induct Neophytes and newly elevated Khans of their Chapter. The other responsibilities of the Storm Seer include teaching Aspirants the core beliefs of their Chapter. They firmly believe it is the manifest duty of the White Scars to destroy the enemies of the Imperium, awaiting the day that that Emperor will rise again, signaling the return of their lost Primarch and the beginning of the next Great Crusade to unify all of humanity. The Storm Seers believe that their powers are connected to the animistic spirits of the land and the air, and that as long as these natural forces fight alongside them, the White Scars will always be victorious. These elemental, animistic beliefs and the highly stylized Force Staff used by Storm Seers tie these warrior-mystics to their shamanistic past on the steppes of Mundus Planus.
- Grey Knights - All Grey Knights possess a degree of psychic ability which is further developed and enhanced by their years of training on Titan. While only a handful of Grey Knights Battle-Brothers ever achieve the levels of power commanded by the Chapter's Librarians, they are all capable of manifesting certain powers and abilities, especially in the company of other Grey Knights where they can combine their gifts to create great effects and more devastating psychic attacks. However, those who prove to have a strength of mind far greater than that of their fellows will go on to join the ranks of the Chapter's Librarians. The Grey Knights have many abilities that standard Space Marines lack. These powers are psychic in nature and work on a gestalt principle much like that of the Orks in which the more Grey Knights that are present in one location, the more powerful their psychic abilities become. Besides these powers, the Grey Knights are highly-skilled close combat fighters. Most Grey Knights who are masters of melee combat are able to win against even the most seemingly impossible of odds. Unlike Space Marine Librarians or other psykers, their power is deemed free of the taint of the Warp and they are the only psykers allowed, for instance, in a Crusade army of the Black Templars Chapter.
Deathwatch Service
Many Librarians are known to serve the Long Watch with the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos, better known as the Deathwatch. Most of the Librarians called to serve in the Deathwatch hold the rank of Lexicanium, the most junior of the four ranks of the Space Marines' combat psykers. They are nonetheless warriors of fearsome ability and renown. However, a small number of higher-ranked Librarians do serve as the Watch Commanders' most valued counsellors. Within their own Chapters, Librarians may have different titles and unique methods of utilising their powers but they fulfill a number of similar roles within the Deathwatch. Chief amongst them is that of the combat psyker. By focusing his prodigious psychic powers, the Librarian is able to unleash withering blasts of searing Warp energy at his foe, reducing them to ashes with but a thought. Often, the energies are directed and multiplied through the blade of a specially crafted weapon such as a Force Sword or Force Halberd, with which even the mightiest of foes will be cut down as wheat before the scythe. Death can be unleashed from afar as well, for the Librarian is able to project his powers at distant enemies, launching deadly bolts of psychic energy from a staff, an outstretched hand, or through his very gaze. Unlike conventional weapons, a Librarian's psychic wrath cannot be parried and does not run out of ammunition. The only limit on a Librarian's powers is his own will, and this is as strong as that of any of the Imperium's mightiest heroes.
Librarians are also the guardians of the secrets of the Deathwatch. Within each Watch Fortress is to be found the sealed Vault which stores weapons and relics too dangerous to be allowed to fall into the hands of Mankind's enemies. Also within the fortress' Vault is an archive of forbidden knowledge. Not even the Watch Commander has access to these archives -- only the Deathwatch's Librarians are entrusted with their access codes, and only they are judged strong enough to withstand the sanity-shattering secrets sealed within. It is only in the direst of circumstances that a Librarian will enter a Watch Fortress' Vault archive, for each time he does so he is exposed to the whispering voices of long-dead alien beings, tempting him with the power to rule the whole of humanity in the name of ancient and blasphemous gods. Nevertheless, so terrible are many of the horrors faced by the Deathwatch that the Librarian may be required to consult the archives in order to discover some previous record of an enemy's weakness. Such knowledge can spell the difference between a mission's success and failure.
Another role carried out by a Watch Fortress' Librarians is that of providing the Watch Commander with counsel. Given their access to forbidden knowledge and their innate understanding of arcane matters, the word of a Librarian rarely goes unheeded in the Watch Commander's plans. In addition to this, many Librarians are gifted with some degree of prognostication -- whether by way of visions, meditation,consulting the Emperor's Tarot, or seeming intuition, Librarians can often discern something of what will come to pass. Though such a premonition is rarely clear enough to provide complete certainty, it often provides clues that enable an experienced Librarian to make a sound judgement concerning potential dangers that may be faced in an upcoming mission, and to advise the Watch Captains accordingly. Often, the premonition focuses upon the actions of the Librarian himself, telling him that his own presence will be required if a mission is to succeed. Many Deathwatch Librarians have foreseen their own death at the hands of some alien monstrosity, and gone proudly and stoically to their fate, with certain knowledge that their death will sow the seed of their Battle-Brothers' victory.
Another task at which many Librarians excel is the sending of psychic messages. Most Librarians are skilled enough to send telepathic messages from the surface of a planet to a vessel in orbit, and more powerful Librarians might even be able to contact a fellow Librarian in another sector. Generally, the further the message is projected in realspace, the less clear it becomes. However, in several cases, a Kill-team that has been considered to be lost has been recovered due to the efforts of a Librarian, who managed to invoke a simple insight from the mind of a Battle-Brother light years away. Given the nature of some of the places into which the Deathwatch must go, such an ability is invaluable, and has saved the lives of many of Mankind's mightiest warriors. While many Deathwatch Librarians are, in effect, part of the Watch Commander's officer cadre and not permanently assigned to a single Kill-team, in reality most come to associate themselves with one group of warriors. Such is the bond between the Battle-Brothers of a Kill-team that to separate them is to degrade their considerable combat effectiveness. Deathwatch Librarians are able to make a significant contribution to a Kill-team, lending their singular abilities to the eternal war against the alien horrors of the galaxy.
Librarian Ranks
Within the Chapter, all Librarians hold a rank based on their level of training and their standing amongst their peers. In part these ranks indicate their principal role, be it on the battlefield or in the Librarium, but they are also used to establish a clear chain of command from the Chief Librarian down to the lowest Lexicanium.
- Lexicanium - A Lexicanium (plural: Lexicani) is a young Librarian who has generally not yet seen combat and is still learning to fully control and make use of his psychic powers. This is the lowest rank amongst a Chapter's Librarians, awarded to those who have passed their trials and who are now deemed fit to serve the Chief Librarian. Reporting to the Codiciers, it is the Lexicanium's role to aid in the endless task of maintaining, studying and cataloguing the vast amounts of texts within the Librarium. In time of conflict, however, Lexicani will leave the Librarium and take to the battlefield alongside their Battle-Brothers, using their powers to smite their foes. In time, and with training and study, a Lexicanium will eventually rise in rank and take on a more active role within the Chapter as a Codicier. As Codicers they are often given more significant combat assignments, able to harness their powers with greater clarity. Lexicani are often distinguished by their lack of a Psychic Hood and helmet, and they usually appear very similar to their fellow, non-psychic Battle-Brothers except for the blue Power Armour that all Librarians are required to wear by the Codex Astartes as a sign of their status.
- Codiciers - Codiciers, like Lexicani, spend much of their time within the Librarium. They are tasked with organising and overseeing the efforts of the Lexicani, while reporting to the higher-ranking Librarians. By the time a Librarian reaches the rank of Codicier, his command of his powers is almost fully realised and only the truly gifted will advance beyond this point. However, a Codicier's powers far outclass almost any other kind of psyker within the Imperium, and their psychic abilities are more than sufficient for the Chapter's purposes. These Librarians have enough control over their psychic powers to go into combat. They usually receive further training to become Epistolaries, so they can use multiple psychic powers in combat. They also usually do not wear a Psychic Hood to augment their abilities, but rather devices more useful than that of their Imperial Sanctioned Psyker counterparts who serve in the ranks of the Imperial Guard.
- Epistolaries - While most Librarians never rise above the rank of Codicier, a few continue to develop their gifts and grow in strength until they attain the rank of Epistolary. Epistolaries fulfill two main roles within the Chapter: firstly as potent battle psykers who can combat the deadliest of foes, and secondly as psychic communications officers for their Chapter's fleet. In this role they form the basis of the Chapter's strategic command and control, directing fleets, coordinating mass planet-drops, and providing vital intelligence during invasions and assaults. These Veteran Librarians are powerful and their primary role, when not making use of their gifts on the battlefield, is that of the chief psychic communications officer of their Chapter. Even on the battlefield an Epistolary can send and receive psychic messages. Epistolaries have more mastery over their psychic powers than other, lesser-ranked Librarians, which allows them to use their abilities more often in combat than Codiciers or Lexicani. Epistolaries wear a Psychic Hood to augment their defensive abilities, carry a Force Weapon into combat and also have access to the full Armoury of their Chapter.
- Chief Librarian - The Chief Librarian is the strongest and most powerful psyker within a Space Marine Chapter, who all other Librarians in the Chapter report to, take instruction from, and respect. Few, if any, of the psykers within the Chapter will ever become the Chief Librarian. If there are no suitable candidates within a Chapter, the position is often left vacant. So rare are these psychic lords that many Chapters have but one or only a handful of psykers able to one day assume the responsibility of these mighty warriors. The Chief Librarian is the Master of the Librarium and the keeper of his Chapter's lore, as well as a member of the guiding council of the Chapter's senior officers with encyclopaedic knowledge of his Chapter, its enemies, and the Imperium. The Chief Librarian presides over the training and selection of all new Librarians, as well as the cultivation of psykers within the Chapter's ranks. He is also the closest of the Chapter Master's advisors, providing him with wisdom and knowledge. His abilities to divine the future are vital to his lord's decisions. Chief Librarians very seldom take to the field of battle, as their abilities are far more valuable to the Chapter in other ways. However, when they do take part in a battle, it is a glorious and terrifying sight to behold. With the power of their mind, they level fortresses, reduce entire armies to rivers of molten flesh, and split the very sky with fire and lightning. Chief Librarians often lead forces or assist the Chapter Master in battle. Chief Librarians also spend a great deal of time training their lesser Codicier and Lexicanium Battle-Brothers in the dangerous ways of the Warp.
Combat Doctrine
Librarians are psychically-charged Astartes who are trained to use their abilities on the field of battle, as both weapons and as precognitive tools. The Librarians use a device known as a Psychic Hood to suppress their enemies' use of psychic powers and to augment their own; the hood's wires tap directly into the brain and act as an extension of the wearer's consciousness, allowing him to detect nearby manipulations of the Warp and to channel them through a series of crystals designed to augment the Librarian's willpower and thus make him more resistant to an enemy psyker's manipulations of Warp energy. When deployed, a Space Marine Librarian's psychic might exceeds even that of the Eldar Farseers in sheer brutality, though their abilities lack the sheer mental grace and accuracy that defines the fey Eldar species. Librarians wield potent Force Weapons, which are psychically-charged Power Weapons that allow the Librarian to enhance each strike with rippling psychic energy.
A Librarian of a Codex Astartes-compliant Space Marine Chapter wears blue Power Armour with the Chapter badge on the left shoulder plate, while on his right he has the Horned Skull or Open Book of the Librarium -- ancient and potent icons symbolising the power and knowledge that the Librarian possesses. Most wear a white robe over their torso which typically bears a stitched symbol of their rank (usually that of a Codicier or Epistolary). He will often wear a tabard or cloak of yellow bearing a black band, which is embellished depending on his rank. A Lexicanium's band is untouched, while a Codicier's has spikes or lightning bolts added to it, and an Epistolary has both spikes or lightning bolts and the addition of a skull placed below the band. Chief Librarians are a special case and often display symbols that reflect their own personal powers or honours dictated by their service to the Chapter. Most Librarians carry scrolls and copies of ancient texts with them, either as badges of office or as references of wisdom. Almost all Librarians above the rank of Codicier wear Psychic Hoods, the arcane apparatuses which contain crystals that can amplify the wearer's abilities and strengthen their control over them, as well as enhance their resistance to the psychic abilities of others.
Some Librarians go to battle in Tactical Dreadnought Armour -- better known as Terminator Armour -- which is painted and decorated in the same manner as their fellows clad in normal Power Armour, and also includes a Psychic Hood. Because of the sheer size of Terminator Armour, those suits worn by Librarians are modified to carry special Warp-sensitive crystals (similar to those fixed within Psychic Hoods) inside the finger tips and palm, so that a Librarian can still use his powers while encased within the protective suit. However, a Librarian in Terminator Armour may wish to simply use his Force Staff to manage and exert his power, and wield a ranged weapon in his free hand.
- Power Armour
- Bolt Pistol
- Force Weapon (of any type)

- Krak Grenades

- Storm Shield (if in Terminator Armour and using melee weapon)
Notable Librarians
Each Chapter has a Chief Librarian, the strongest and wisest psyker in the entire Chapter. A psychically-powerful Astartes often becomes the Chief Librarian by virtue of experience or by demonstrating exceptional self-control and willpower, both vital traits for an Imperial psyker. Below are named some of the most well-known Chief Librarians of the Space Marine Chapters of the Imperium of Man:
- Chief Librarian Tigurius - Tigurius is the Chief Librarian of the Ultramarines, a masterful telepath rumoured to be the most powerful of all known Adeptus Astartes psykers. It is said that he touched minds with the Tyranid Hive Mind and survived - a feat previously considered impossible, as the psychic weight of the Hive Mind would overload the telepath and subsume his soul. His equipment enhances the power of his psychic abilities, doubling their maximum range.
- Chief Librarian Mephiston - Mephiston of the Blood Angels not only survived the Black Rage, but also greatly benefited from it. His gaze is so terrible even the most disciplined heroes would quiver in his line of sight, and he possesses the ability to fly with his own power. He is a close-combat-oriented Librarian, and is perhaps the greatest Space Marine swordsman in the known galaxy.
- Grand Master Ezekiel - Ezekiel is the greatest of all Dark Angels Librarians and has the ability to traverse the minds of his enemies, predicting their moves before they even think of them. His Mind Worm psychic power can cause an opponent's brain to literally melt and the destroyed brain matter then leaks out through the ears.
- Hestion - This Librarian of the Salamanders Chapter played a valuable part in the first major conflict between the Imperium and the Dark Eldar in the 35th Millennium. He served on the Strike Cruiser Forgehammer when it was crippled by Dark Eldar raiders and taken through the Webway to Commorragh. With no means to call for aid, he saved the ship's complement by sending a psychic signal to the Astropaths of the Salamanders with the stricken vessel's coordinates. During the battle that followed in the Dark City of Commorragh, Hestion smashed many Dark Eldar gunships with a psychic storm and bought time for his Battle-Brothers to destroy the gravitic salvage spars holding the Strike Cruiser in captivity, allowing the Forgehammer to fly free again.
- Rune Priest Njal Stormcaller - While not officially a Librarian, Njal Stormcaller serves the Space Wolves Chapter as their most senior Rune Priest, the non-standard Chapter's closest equivalent. Njal earned his surname for his ability to summon potent storms through the power of his mind and the observation of the most ancient of Fenrisian shamanistic rituals.
- Jonah Orion - Jonah Orion is a powerful psyker who served as a Librarian of the Blood Ravens Chapter under Captain Gabriel Angelos, Commander of the Watch and leader of the Blood Ravens' 3rd Company, since the Tartarus campaign. During the First Aurelian Crusade, he was one of the Chapter's Librarians tasked with battling against the Tyranid Hive Mind of the encroaching splinter fleet of Hive Fleet Leviathan who had entered Sub-sector Aurelia intent on devouring all of its worlds. This bought time for Captain Gabriel and his Company to make their way towards Aurelia. While traveling through the Warp, Jonah would end up being the sole survivor of the dozen Librarians, Navigators and Astropaths accompanying Captain Angelos. Following this ordeal, Jonah's powerful psychic abilities would play an instrumental role in rooting out several pockets of Tyranid bioforms left over from the original invasion over the following year. During the Third Aurelain Crusade, Jonah would sell his life dearly, battling against the daemonically ascended and Chaos-corrupted Chapter Master, Azariah Kyras, upon the Dead World of Cyrene.
- Ahriman - Although not a Librarian of the Loyalist Chapters, the Chaos Sorcerer Ahriman was infamous for his journeys throughout the galaxy, ransacking vaults and looting any Chaotic or sorcerous artefacts he could get his hands on that would increase his own power or knowledge of the arcane. This caused many custodians of such artefacts, including several Space Marine Chapters, a great deal of paranoia and has resulted in the preemptive destruction of many artefacts to keep them out of Ahriman's hands. Ahriman is also responsible for turning the entire Thousand Sons Traitor Legion into mindless automata whose souls have been fused with their Power Armour through the use of the infamous spell known as the Rubric of Ahriman.
- Sarpedon - Sarpedon was the Chief Librarian and later, Chapter Master, of the Soul Drinkers, a Renegade Chapter of Space Marines that is currently considered Excommunicate Traitoris by the High Lords of Terra. Sarpedon possesses the unique psychic power known as The Hell that allows him to psychically enter and then project his opponents' greatest fears along with a recent physical mutation giving him extra appendages, manifesting in the form of chitinous spider legs which were unwillingly bestowed upon him by the Tzeentchian Daemon Prince Abraxes.

Voter fraud charges fly, but NYT reporters failed to verify
An article in the November 1 edition of The New York Times passed along Republican accusations of voter fraud without making any apparent effort to verify them, even though journalists at other newspapers have raised serious doubts about the accusations.
In the article, titled "Complaints: Charges of Fraud and Voter Suppression [1]," reporters Kate Zernike and William Yardley stated:
Florida Republicans on Thursday said they had determined that at least 925 felons had either already voted illegally in early voting or had requested absentee ballots. And Ms. [Mindy Tucker] Fletcher [adviser to the Florida Republican Party] left open the possibility that the party intended to challenge ineligible voters at the polls on Election Day.
However, as an article [2] in the October 29 edition of the St. Petersburg Times reported, the Florida Republican Party based this conclusion on "two controversial and flawed state databases" which had been rejected by the state's Republican secretary of state, Glenda Hood. [3] In addition, the St. Petersburg Times noted that its reporters "quickly found" two people on the list who were, in fact, eligible to vote:
Records show Neal D. Bolinger, 57, of St. Petersburg had his rights restored in 1974, two years after his conviction for grand larceny, and has been voting ever since.
He used an absentee ballot last week to vote straight Republican.
It's the second time in four years his name has been flagged. He had to convince Pinellas County election officials in 2000 that he was qualified.
"If every four years I come up on the list and have to have myself reinstated, that will become a problem, and I'll have to start shaking some trees," he said.
Tampa resident Jeffrey Arnold, 44, said he received his clemency more than a dozen years ago and has been voting ever since. The exact status of Arnold and others could not be confirmed Thursday by the Times.
The New York Times' Zernike and Yardley also uncritically passed along claims by an unnamed "official of the state Republican party" in Pennsylvania that 10,000 of 130,000 letters sent "congratulating newly registered voters" were returned. No proof was offered that 10,000 letters were actually returned; in fact, when reporters for the Philadelphia Inquirer asked for a list, Republicans provided only six names, as an October 31 article noted [4].
In addition, the New York Times article stated that the returned letters, assuming they exist, indicate "that the people had died or that the address was nonexistent." The article failed to note that the letters could have been returned for several other reasons, especially if, as Republican parties in other states such as Ohio have done, they were sent as registered mail; voters may not have been home when the letter was delivered, or they may have refused to receive a mailing from Republicans.

text: Yes. Sorry rjblue, but it sounds like you are part of the problem. And I KNOW some teachers are a-holes and define "bad behavior" as "won't listen to my stupid and irrational rules" but there is a point when people--kids--need to learn to cooperate and adjust, not always seek their own way. You aren't helping your son, you're making excuses for him and yourself. How did you "reinforce the teacher's requests to improve behavior"? And for how long? And did you ever suggest to him that if he behaved as the teachers asked, he would avoid punishment at school?

I'm come in to work, and the shirt's already sold out. Wow. I guess I'll have to get it when it hits the reckoning chart.
Ok, I like cute things and all, but this??!???? AND ITS SOLD OUT?!????! Where is the veggie gang I thought that would be #1 since it was so cool.
What exactly do people have to gain for writing mean comments about the shirt? I think it's cute and if you don't like it, just keep it to yourself. Negativity is contagious and may come back around to you.
What the Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966) is this . . . don't you people want some variety in your wardrobe?

Welcome to woot . . . expression of outrage is encouraged on the forum.
For all the whining about this shirt, it sold out awfully fast...
62% > one year old
...by mostly older wooters. Hmm.
I didn't buy one, turtles aren't my thing, but its still amusing for how much angst every entry generates woot is making a mint. Looking forward to some adorable bird shirts next derby Also fingers crossed for the Gorgon shirt. Ahhh mythology.

crazy how there is always so much discussion about how ramy and seki rig the voting, yet it sold out?
who'd have thunk?
Oh for the sake of art!??!
wait... this is a shirt... on a website that is called woot.com
wow, you all almost convinced me that a shirt should be a work of art... would you buy a shirt that had the Mona Lisa printed on it? I wouldn't.
And for all you people who aspire to create beautiful art with style and perfection with every detail painstakingly analyzed... wouldn't you prefer your pieces to be on display in a gallery or something?

I know there are theories and maybe even some truth in the probability that voting is swayed by the anti-adder [funny] vote, the just because I know it will piss you off vote, etc. But that can't really be proven. Even if you quote someone that says "I am going to vote for this shirt just because you hate it." That doesn't mean they did.
I think one vote per IP is a good start to maybe legitimizing the vote. Personally, I am not too keen on having woot select the winners. I was drawn to woot to begin with because it was completely popular vote.
I agree about fighting the fight and not giving up but at what point do you finally pull the plug ? Never ? OK. Then I guess we'll just see what happens.
Actually, I have emailed woot on a few occasions... and they were very responsive.

People buying X-Mas presents... for recipients around 12 or something...
The shirt is on theme... but I don't like it. To give you an idea of what I like... I bought the Krampus shirt and the extreme national park shirt. So these cute animals do little for me.
There is clearly a large portion of people who like cute shiny animals... These are the type of people that own cats, btw.
Tomorrow will be that squirrel design and who knows what will get three.. maybe the dot eyed dinosaur one.
I mean, I shouldn't complain, I don't have the time to design stuff myself, but if I was one of the designers on this site, I would start to get pretty fed up and stop making things since the same style wins every week.
Don't blame the artist, blame the voters I say.
Where do these voter come from... I can't imagine they are wooters that all have the same personality. The designs aren't bad... but defiantly not good enough to win every week. Maybe I am crazy.
These cute designs make me not want to wear them. I like the concept, but the baby like animals is a big turnoff on a purchase. Make them grow up!
If ya aint first, you're last!

that's the only thing that makes any sense. this thing is garbage. the cutsy situational 3d animated character thing is so old, tired, overdone and lacking creativity.
Just as I had predicted... welcome to Woot, your choices are either pokémon or Hello Kitty.

Because as much as it leaps into the vacuum to see the same two people win over and over (and over and over...), we still see quality entries from other artists every week, and still want them to win. In the hopes that ramy and seki will either leave or improve, we stick around in order to give the other artists a fighting chance. Sometimes those artists win; sadly, most of the time they don't.

They put zero effort into their designs, why would they put that much effort into buying their own shirts?
SOLD OUT?! It's not even 11 a.m.!
Utter disappointment Woot voters. This shirt has no balance, the two characters are floating in the middle of no where, and worse off, it shouldn't have even been in the fog. let alone in first place ahead of In Addition To Your Radishes, Outside the Lines, or Distractive Frolic. How many horribly composed shirts can you actually buy? Stop voting for cute unless you really intend to buy, if not go to DA and fawn there . Guh.
That write-up is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I HAVE EVER READ!!! *sob... sob.....
edit: I removed my graphic because ehhh, whatever. Not worth it for this shirt. Not even for the lulz.
I missed it. Do they ever reprint shirts?

....You have tragically misunderstood.
it's "SLOW AND STEADY",
not "FIRE WHEN READY"!!!!
I'm with you Jenopy.
The fact this design won and shirt sold out makes a statement about our society that saddens and depresses me. I guess it could have been worse. The turtle could have had an american flag on it.

I am writing this as a teacher who already has some experience, and knows the way job recruiters should and shouldn't organise themselves.
I am giving this as a general warning concerning my own experience with the education recruitment consultancy, Oxford Vision. They mainly deal with organising university placements in the Uk for foreign students, and in sending British teachers to other countries, in partiucular Turkey, Kazakstan,and U.A.E.
My own experience occured after applying for a kindergarten positon in Turkey. I already have experience teaching kindergarten in Russia, and was contacted almost imediately by their booking assistant who, having seen my CV, felt I was a good fit. I asked straight away about start dates, as due to prior commitments (including work) I was not available to start work until October 11th- the assistant said he would have to check with the school. I was delighted when he emailed me three days later and said that my date was fine, and arranged a skype interview between him and myself. Having been interviewed he said he was able to give me a firm offer, I checked once more that this was to start on the 11th October, he said yes and asked me to travel to their offices in London (I live in Norfolk) to sign the contract in person and to present my documents for copying.
When I arrived he wasn't in the office (dispite knowing I was coming on the day arranged) and his colleague saw me. He copied all my documents and certificates and then asked me to sign the contract, in doing so he said (you're starting on the 1st October, right?" to which I replied that I'd agreed with his colleague to start on the 11th. He just shrugged and said "Oh then I'm sure that's okay".
Feeling a little concerned I relayed this in an email to the assistant, and he assured me that "any date I want is fine".
Then I had an email asking for a scanned copy of my PGCE Certificate, as he needed proof of everything on my CV, and that he also needed confirmation that I would be starting work on the 1st October ?!?!?
I sent the copy, but also mentioned that his colleague had seen, verified and copied the original so had proof of it's existence! I also queried why he thought I was starting on the 1st, when I had confirmed with him on three occasions that my start date was the 11th. He sent me an email saying he would "have to check with the school", the next day I had an email saying the school wanted teachers to start at the beginning of SEPTEMBER (so ironically even the 1st October wouldn't do!) and that we'd have to "find a new school".
By this point I was furious and asked why I'd signed a contract when it was clear he hadn't confirmed my start date. I was treated to a tale of how the school had messed up, but I don't entirely buy it, and have refused to let him find me a job- I'd rather apply else where. I am now in the long drawn out process of trying to claim back my travel expenses for my wasted trip to London, complicated because the company can't issue cheques, and given my previous experiences of internet fraud I refuse to send my account details in an unsecurred email. I have suggested paypal or a postal order, but these seem to be far to much effort, although all he has to do for a postal order is go to the nearest post office- there are several in central London!
I appreciate that all cases are different and he may well successfully find jobs for a lot of teachers, but I just find that they are incredibly badly organised, and I began to distrust everything they said. First and formost the man in question refuses to except any responsibility for misleading me, and thinks that jobs falling through after a contract is signed is normal, in my experience it's not!

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- No. 16 seed Indiana pulled off its second consecutive upset to move on to the College Cup Friday night when the Hoosiers downed No. 9 seed UNC, 1-0, at Fetzer Field. The Hoosiers beat No. 1 seed Notre Dam to reach the NCAA Quarterfinals.
Sophomore forward Eriq Zavaleta claimed the game winner in the 60th minute when he headed his own rebound past goalkeeper Scott Goodwin.
Indiana's Patrick Doody sent a ball into the box where freshman defender Jonathan Campbell was battling Zavaleta for position. Goodwin charged toward the cross before putting on the brakes and retreating to the net.
Zavaleta connected on a header and Goodwin was in position to get a hand on the ball to keep it out of the net. The rebound went directly to Zavaleta who headed the ball past Goodwin and into the back of the net.
The goal would be all the Hoosiers would need on the night, despite the Tar Heels putting pressure on the IU backline most of the second half.
Carolina dominated the first half of play and nearly struck on a pair of opportunities for junior forward Rob Lovejoy.
Lovejoy took a pair of shots from inside the box on the right side of the field but both times Indiana goalkeeper Luis Soffner was in position to make the save.
The Tar Heel defense held Indiana without a shot in the first half but the Hoosiers made up for it early in the second half with a flurry less than 10 minutes into the second session.
In the 55th minute, Zavaleta had a shot blocked by Campbell to force a corner kick before Nikita Kotlov put a flick on target. Kotlov's effort was heading far post but sophomore midfielder Mikey Lopez was in position to clear it off the line.
The Tar Heels were not as fortunate five minutes later when Zavaleta struck for his 18th goal of the season.
Goodwin stopped the next attempt by the Hoosiers immediately after the opening tally. A.J. Corrado found the ball at his feet at the top of the 18-yard box and fired one on frame but Goodwin was there to make the stop.
Carolina settled down after allowing its seventh goal of the season and built possession in search of the equalizing goal.
Down to the final 15 minutes of the contest the Tar Heels pushed forward and sent nearly every one into the attacking third.
Jonathan Campbell forced Soffner into a save in the 78th minute when Danny Garcia whipped a cross to the far post. Campbell was unable to get enough on the header and the IU goalkeeper made the save.
The Tar Heels continued to put pressure on the IU backline but were unable to put any of their final seven shots on frame despite narrow misses from Rob Lovejoy and Josh Rice.
The setback is the first for the Tar Heels at Fetzer Field since Sept. 3, 2010, a string of 40 matches, snapping the second-longest streak in NCAA history.
Carolina finishes the season 16-4-3 on the year and fall short of the College Cup for the first time since the 2007 season.
The 2012 senior class finishes their careers with 69 wins in four years, three College Cup appearances and the 2011 national championship.

IT complexity hurts business. This is even more the case when a company has global markets and global operations. Essential business needs such as a single integrated view of global customers, or consistent product or service portfolio become impossible to achieve.
Managing IT complexity to support business strategy is a big challenge for enterprise architects at large companieswhen a company has global operations, as is the case for Telstra, an Asia-based telecommunications firm. However Telstra's enterprise architecture (EA) team addressed its challenges by focusing on customer engagement, improved agility, and global business strategy enablement. Because of their success, they were one of the six firms to win the InfoWorld/Forrester Enterprise Architecture Award in 2012.

Home > News & Events > Events Calendar > Israel, Iran, and the West: Diplomatic Challenges
The Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs will host a Director's Lunch with Yehuda Yaakov, Consul General of Israel to New England, in the Belfer Center Library (L369).
Yehuda Yaakov brings to the position of Consul General of Israel to New England more than two decades of experience in public diplomacy and strategic affairs. He has been a member of Israel's Foreign Service since 1989, previously serving outside of Israel in New York and New Zealand.
For more than a decade, Yaakov has played an important role in formulating and implementing Israel's diplomatic approach to managing strategic challenges. Since 2008 he has focused on the public-diplomacy aspects of the Iranian crisis, work for which he received the Israeli Foreign Ministry Director-General's award for excellence in 2012.
Beforehand he led the department for the prevention of non-conventional weapons (2004-2007), a position he assumed after establishing and running the counterterrorism & homeland security desk (2001-2004).
From 1997-2001, Yaakov served as Consul for Media and Public Affairs at the Consulate General of Israel in New York, where he oversaw the operation of Israel's extensive public affairs and media relations apparatus. He left for the Consulate General of Israel to New York after a stint as arms control adviser (1995-1997), serving prior to that as deputy ambassador in the Israeli Embassy to New Zealand, in Wellington (1992-1995).
His career has also included the academic world. In the spring of 2013 he published the updated, translated version of his Haifa University master's thesis on the implementation of coercive diplomacy in the Iranian nuclear crisis; from 2003-2007, he taught a Bar Ilan University MA course he conceived and wrote on the relationship between peace negotiators and the media.
Yaakov's views have been widely sought out by elected officials, diplomats, security figures, academics and the media. He has been interviewed by leading television networks, given numerous briefings, been cited in a variety of articles, and has also published op-eds (including the Boston Globe).
Yaakov was born in Brooklyn, New York. He received a BA in journalism and international relations from Syracuse University in 1982. The following year he immigrated to Israel where he served in the Israel Defense Forces. He and his wife Ofra have already celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, and they have two adult-age daughters.

|lara's mum
We've narrowed down the places we walk her to one where there are less dogs - a heath. But because we live in an urban area (& the UK is more populated!) it is not easy. We can see dogs coming so can move out of the way, but it still doesn't help when owners let their dogs run over to us from a long distance.
However we had a really great day today. Lara was so in to her ball she ignored cows & 2 other dogs. She's also had really positive meetings with people now. She was much less vocal when we parked the van up & I went into a shop. Hubby said she gave a little woof then sat watching people. She seems to have relaxed more.
|Where are you going that other dogs are able to approach her? I would limit the places you go and let Lara know you are the one who has her back so she can relax and trust that she won't have to take action.
|lara's mum
thanks for the replies. We initially kept her on a lead, but we met a dog trainer on a walk who owned 3 GSDs. He assessed her & said it wasn't aggression but inexperience & that we should let her off. We did & she was good although didn't seem to know boundaries. He said we'd be making things worse by keeping her on the lead. To a certain extent that has been the case. We don't let her meet other dogs, it's other dogs whose owners won't listen when we ask them to keep their dog away. She will focus on us, but when a dog is jumping all over her & I've tried to keep the thing away but it's determined to still get to her, it's then she doesn't like it & nor do I!
I guess I'm frustrated that other owners won't listen when I ask them not to let their dog approach. I always put distance between Lara & other dogs, but other owners will let their dog run over from a distance. I should have explained that better. We did initially let her meet dogs until we realised she was not ready. Now it's other dogs which are coming over to her.
in three weeks it is not possible to really know a dog which has had 13 months of life that
the dog has too much freedom . It is not possible to fully know a dog that has had 13 months of life and experiences with some one else. Too many unknowns. On the other side, in three weeks the dog hasn't bonded and doesn't know you . Letting her go running with other dogs is a big risk. This "She will charge the other dog with a snarl, we then call her, she comes straight back" . One day she will meet a dog who will take exception to her rushing up and then it will be gloves off , big mess of a fight , and you , new to the dog , won't have control.
OP "even though she hasn't done any damage at all, the other owners obviously don't like it" and rightfully so. See how many other posts there are with people so fed up that they carry irritating sprays anywhere from vinegar to pepper spray.
Start with good control . Basic obedience . FOCUS, because if she is focused on you she can't be focused on the dog. Teach her the command , "quiet" .
Well it sucks that you can't find a trainer! But post 8 has some good information, I highly recommend "Who pet my puppy or dog."
And I'm not clear on it but if your putting strange dogs in her face stop doing that, teache her to ignore other dogs... makes life much simpler!
|She probably has not had much experience with other dogs. An obedience class and a well-controlled environment with other dogs is a great start. She can be gradually desensitized and overall obedience will help this behavior as well.
|lara's mum
Please could you help?
Lara our 14 month old bitch has been with us for 3 weeks now.I know it's still very early days for her, but as we cannot find a trainer who has experience with GSDs, we want to make sure we are doing the right thing while we look further afield. The trainers we've spoken to so far say "Well it's the breed".
So Lara is very vocal on the lead with other dogs. So we have let her off & sometimes if the other dog is quiet, so is ok. We've even walked with two quiet labs & she ended up ignoring other dogs because they were.
She will charge the other dog with a snarl, we then call her, she comes straight back. But because the other dog will usual yelp, even though she hasn't done any damage at all, the other owners obviously don't like it. We can stop her from going to the other dog by telling her to leave. She will also be distracted by her ball.
She's also very vocal around people on the lead. Last weekend our daughter & her dog visited. Lara was perfect in the garden with him, they played all day without any aggression.
Do you think she'll ever stop doing this? What can I do till I find a training class to help her improve?

I was able to a week ago but for some reason cannot do so now. I get a HTTP 500 internal server error message.
I have tried to upload pics from my computer, changed the size to a smaller file size & changed the file type. I even tried to upload froma photobucket account & my wife's computer (in case mine was buggy).
None of this has worked & I am out of ideas. Has anyone else been experiencing the same problem? I have contacted admin but haven't had a response so far. Any help would be appreciated.
