"I needed to sell my home immediately and Ashley at Swing Real Estate was able to find an immediate solution that remedied a very stressful situation. He was very professional and very kindly walked me through the whole process. I would definitely recommend Ashley and Swing Real Estate." - June 2016Angela Johnson
Michael Reece"Thank you very much for everything. The bank was giving me trouble when my sister and I were trying to sell our late mother's house. Fair House Offer fought for us with the bank for 5 months and once everything was resolved they kept their word and purchased our mother's house. It was a stressful time but Fair House Offer was their to help us." - Michael Reece
Kenneth K.
"When my mother passed away, her house was in poor condition. I contacted one company that bought "ugly houses" and they offered an unacceptable low price. I received a letter from Fair House Offer and they agreed to look at. After some friendly negotiations, they offered a price that was almost double the previous company offer. The transaction was painless. Fair Housing took care of all the details. Even when some complications came up, they assisted and resolved the issue. We didn't even have to clean the house or dispose of things in the house that we didn't want. I highly recommend them. They were professional and courteous." -January 2016
Wendy Smalls"I cannot thank your company enough for helping me solve my real estate problems. I was behind on my mortgage payments, received a notice of default and needed someone to close quickly. Fair House Offer actually made up all of my back payments and continued to pay my mortgage which has helped me re-establish my credit. I cannot thank you enough." - Wendy Smalls
Kenya GordonI had a great experience working with Sir Ashley. He was on point and reliable. I would definitely recommend them. - Kenya Gordon

"I needed to sell my house fast and did not have time to have it sit on the market, nor did I have the money to make the repairs needed. I contacted Fair House Offer and they gave me a more than fair price for the house! I was able to get the money I wanted for the house and be able to be close to my mother. I recommend Fair House Offer to any one wanting or needing to sell their house quick. They are truly professionals." - February 2016James J. W.
John MichaelHighly recommend them! I usually don't write reviews but I got an email from Nicole with Fair House House asking if I would provide a review of my experience and how they bought my house last year. I was hesitant because I'm a business professional and a very private person but I decided to share my experience because it may help someone else going through something similar. So here it is… I was going through a divorce and facing foreclosure at the same time. I had received a few letters and postcards from Fair House Offer but disregarded them for months. But when I was really up against the clock and the foreclosure auction was a three weeks away I called their office and spoke with Ashley. He patiently listened to my situation and arranged for Nicole to come look at my house. Ashley assured me they would do their best to help and once I met Nicole at my property she was very pleasant and knowledgable, which put me at ease. She took notes and pictures of my house and the next day I received an offer from her. I heard of horror stories about drastically low ball offers from investors but I was very pleased with their offer. Once I accepted their offer they were able to get everything done at the lawyers office very quickly because I was up against the clock and foreclosure sale. My partner (now ex) realized this was the best option for us as individuals and allowed us to move forward with our lives without having a foreclosure on our credit report. Now that a year or more has passed, I look back on my experience with Fair House Offer as a blessing and it allowed me to start fresh and they provided help when things were seemingly falling apart. I realize now that everyone experiences tough times but you have to take advantage of opportunities readily available to you. I was looking for a way out of a trying situation but the answer was right in front of my face with the letters and postcards they had sent. Thank you Ashley and Nicole and I hope this helps someone else who is going through a tough time and need your help. - John Michael
Candise HelwichMr. Harrison was extremely helpful! He made sure we were kept in the loop throughout the entire buying process. He was very efficient and always responded quickly when it came to emails and phone calls. He was never late for a meeting and was always very attentive to my questions and/or concerns. If you ever find yourself in need of a company to not only sell your home, but also provide you with fantastic customer service, then you should definitely give Mr. Harrison a call! - Candise Helwich

Eric & Shelia HuntleyI was going through a pre-foreclosure and was online trying find anybody that could help us and I came across Fair House Offer. The first thing that intrigued me was their website name Fair House Offer and they had been on TV so I figured they can't be a scam. When I called and talked to Mr. Ashley Harrison, he told me he could buy my house outright or sell it for me where I could get more money. That really impressed me. He was not only personable but caring he wanted me to get the best deal for my house. At closing we walked away with over $14,000 more than the amount we discussed. I couldn't believe it! Mr. Harrison went above and beyond to get us the best deal on a house I thought we were going to lose and walk away with nothing. If you are going through foreclosure or just wanting to sell your home I highly recommended Mr. Ashley Harrison and Fair House Offer you can't go wrong. Thanks Mr. Harrison - Eric & Shelia Huntley
Richard S."My house was facing code violations and I kept getting letters from the code inspector so I found Fair House Offer online and contacted them. They met me at my house the next day and made me an offer. I have this property for years and it needed some work and updating. Fair House Offer made me a fair offer and handle the closing with the attorney. I'm glad a contact them and they relieved my stress of code violations and the monetary fees mounting up. Very professional and I recommend them to anyone wanting to sell their house fast."- Richard in October 2015
Tonya ParksWhat can I say? My experience with Fair House Offer was a great experience. I wanted to sell my house, in Fayetteville, NC, that had been unoccupied, for a few years. Sir Ashley was very helpful, professional, and friendly. I never got the feeling that was being taking advantage of. A fair offer was made and a settlement was made, within a couple of weeks. I am glad they made the process, of selling my home, "as is", painless and hassle free. - Tonya Y Parks
Harold Geiberger"I had a very stressful and complicated Real Estate problem whereby I owed much more than my house was worth and as a result could not sell my property. I could not afford to make the mortgage payments either. Fair House Offer stepped in and took over payments and allowed my family and I to get from under the stress that house was causing us. I am very appreciative of Fair House Offer and recommend them to anyone going through a similar situation." - Harold Geiberger

Rita StokesWe needed to sell our very run down and old property right away. I had searched on the internet for "We buy property as is" businesses and found the Fair House Offer website. I sent an email to them and Sir Ashley Harrison called back right away. He met with me at our property that very day and gave us a reasonable offer. He also answered each and every question as we asked them - along the way, was very forth-right, personable, professional, and easy to conduct business with. We closed on the property very quickly. I would highly recommend this business to others. - Rita Stokes
Lex CapitalI partnered with Ashley to help get a house sold. He provided his assistance every step of the way. The professionalism of this company is exemplary for our industry. - Lex Capital
"Quite often investors are willing to pay cash for a home and with the recent tightening of financial restrictions, coupled with the growing number of complaints about low appraisals, having a cash buyer has become even more appealing."
Talisha Wesley"I called Fair House Offer and they came over to look at the house right away. They gave me a very fair offer. I needed to sell quickly and we were able to close in 9 days. Ashley with Fair House Offer also arranged for them to help move my belongings since I did not have any many family or friends to help me with the large, heavy furniture. I highly recommend Fair House Offer and Ashley to anyone looking to sell their house fast and at a fair price." - Talisha Wesley
Kevin Farley"Use them! My wife and I contacted Fair House Offer and spoke with Ashley. He was very professional and heard our situation. He listened and we were able to sell our house in a couple of weeks at a good price. I recommend them and could not be more please with how responsive they are." - Kevin Farley

The winner of the Harold Holzer book is Simon M., who picked a very round number (1000) pretty close to the one generated by Random.org.
You know, I'd always assumed that one random number was as good as any, but Random.org assures me that it generates "true random numbers," as opposed to "the pseudo-random number algorithms typically used in computer programs." You can therefore rest assured that the numbers used to determine winners of this blog's book giveaways are as random as possible, spat forth from the gaping maw of an implacable digital entity who probably looks like the MCP from Tron.
We had more entries for this giveaway than the last one, so thanks to everybody who participated.

Praful Bidwai
Has the Indian government established at least a degree of control over Naxalite activity? And has it got any wiser about how to contain Naxal-related violence after almost four decades of trying?
Going by the first meeting of the Standing Committee of chief ministers of Naxalite-affected states on September 19, and the October 5 conference of directors general of police, the answer isn't clear. The CMs' meeting happened barely a month after Andhra Pradesh reimposed a ban on a range of Naxalite groups followed by Chhattisgarh.
In both cases, the proscription followed violent incidents. In Chhattisgarh, the Naxals demonstrated their military prowess by blowing up a mine-proof vehicle carrying 24 Central Reserve Police Force personnel with a mine. This sent the vehicle flying 35 feet up in the air till it landed 90 feet away. In Andhra, they killed a Congress MLA on Independence Day.
PM assures help in tackling Naxalites
This deplorable violence formed the backdrop to the tough talk heard at the Standing Committee, itself encouraged by Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil's recent statements advocating the use of violence against Naxals.
Not many recalled the background to the violence, which was preceded by police brutality not just against Naxals, but ordinary villagers merely suspected to be their informers.
Even so, a consensus was reached on a 'two-pronged' approach: of 'firmly tackling the security threat, and simultaneously implementing programmes for socio-economic development of vulnerable areas.' Patil urged the CMs to 'act compassionately but in a determined manner; use force but properly and discreetly.'
The states agreed to appoint 'nodal officers' for coordination. A handsome Rs 2,000 crores (Rs 20 billion) was allocated annually to anti-Naxal 'police modernisation.' The Centre gave the go-ahead to the use of sophisticated weaponry like helicopters and armoured vehicles in anti-Naxal operations. In addition, Rs 2 crores per Naxal-affected district was granted to "accelerate socio-economic development."
This works out to a much smaller Rs 280 crores. The two "prongs," then, are unequal in length. Indeed, the conclusion that many CMs and policemen have drawn from the Delhi deliberations is that they must step up the use of force. Thus, Andhra Director-General of police Swaranjit Sen, known for his machismo, hubris and trigger-happiness, and for his threats to sue journalists who interview the CPI-Maoist says he'll use helicopters to "bring Naxalites out of forests," and transport men and material for anti-extremist operations.
Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand are considering the "Afghanistan Solution" — building a network of highways through forests to connect remote villages and create a "security corridor." (It's another matter that this hasn't worked in Afghanistan. Besides, destroying forests and disrupting village life would aggravate the Naxal problem.) Even more dramatically, Bihar is planning to use satellite imagery to track Naxal activities.
Such fancy high-tech schemes are fundamentally misconceived. They miss the point about the Naxalites' strengths and weaknesses. Satellite pictures might have helped if the Naxals had permanent camps or held large-scale gatherings. But they don't operate that way. Typically, they mix with villagers following Mao's dictum about guerrillas and people being like fish and water. Helicopter gunships would be effective in mowing down whole hamlets — as the US, for instance, did in Vietnam, or is doing in Colombia.
But that involves indiscriminate violence, which in turn can only foment Naxal counter-violence.
The key to the problem lies in breaking this cycle of violence-and-counter-violence, not in raising it on to a higher military-technological plane. This happens when the state tries to tilt the power balance decisively in its favour through tough measures, starting with a ban and using increasingly lethal force to "instil the fear of God in the enemy", as some policemen put it. But force can rarely deter counter-force. If states gain access to high-tech weapons, so can non-state actors, although they are much less dependent on arms than governments.
Past experience suggests that bans usually don't achieve their purpose. They cannot significantly expand the government's powers to deal with violence. Plenty of powers are available under existing laws, which cover a wide range of violent acts, and abetting, assisting or promoting them. Laws like the Public Security Act, used in many states, are draconian. They criminalise even acts of sympathy for Naxals, including giving them medical care. They punish people who might take Naxalites' help in settling land or monetary disputes, which the law courts take years to resolve. This Naxal role has been praised even by police officers.
Bans can be counter-productive too. Take the People's War Group, which merged a year ago with the Maoist Communist Centre to form the CPI-Maoist. It was proscribed in Andhra way back in 1992. Barring a short interval in 1996, it remained banned until July 2004. Through these 12 years, the group's activities and influence grew not just in Andhra, but in adjacent states like Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, Orissa, and most recently, even Karnataka, which now has some 600 Naxal activists.
The government's knee-jerk response to Naxalism is always to treat it as a law-and-order or "security" problem. Yet, Naxalism — the movement named after an armed uprising of 1967 in Naxalbari village in West Bengal's Darjeeling district — is different from other militant movements which typically remain confined to single states and to single issues.
Indeed, over 38 years, Naxalism has grown steadily, spawning 30-odd groups. Its core-areas first spread from the forests of West Bengal, Andhra and Bihar to their plains, as well as to Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh — and to contiguous states.
According to the Delhi-based Institute for Conflict Management, Naxalite presence expanded from 55 districts in nine states in 2003 to 156 districts in 13 states in 2004, and to 170 districts in 15 states this past February. In their strongholds — about 55 districts in 12 states — the Naxalites run a parallel government. The Centre's own figures are similar.
The reasons for the Naxals' success are fairly straightforward. Naxals flourish where there are huge disparities in assets and incomes, and where injustice and violence by the privileged are rampant. Prakash Singh, former Border Security Force chief, and author of a book on Naxalism, holds: 'The Naxal movement is irrepressible because it draws sustenance from the grievances of the people which have not be addressed by the government� Regarding land reforms, even the Tenth Plan document admits, "the record of most states in implementing the existing laws is dismal".'
Mr Singh is no 'softie.' In India, only 1.3 per cent of agricultural land has been redistributed through tenancy reform and land ceilings — compared to 43 per cent in China, 37 in Taiwan, 33 in Japan [Images], and 32 per cent in South Korea.
Former Bihar chief secretary Kamala Prasad has a more comprehensive explanation for Naxalism's success. He attributes it to numerous failures of the state. It began as a revolt of the landless poor who were defrauded of their rights and could find no justice. "There was gathering disillusionment among the youth about the quality of our democracy. Inherent also was a forewarning on the core issues of securing responsive, accountable and genuinely representative government. The adherents were still carried by the belief that the government would respect the force of their commitment," says Prasad.
He describes Naxalism through metaphors: the failure of law and order, ambiguity of social policy, failings of democratic processes, failure of the party system, and deficits of governance.
The Naxalite problem recently got aggravated because of the Indian state's withdrawal from public services, leading to their near-collapse, and the growing illegitimacy of governance in many regions, coupled with massive corruption. This has led to failing states in many parts of India. Agrarian distress, growing unemployment, and depredations of the forester-contractor mafia, have intensified popular discontent. As has unequal globalisation.
The United Progressive Alliance showed some comprehension of this. Its Common Minimum Programme said that Naxalism isn't a mere law-and-order problem; the social and economic grievances underlying it must be addressed. To do so, the government must redefine the balance between the two "prongs" of its dual-tract approach by emphasising redressal of peoples' grievances against inequalities and deprivation over law-and-order.
More, it must add a strategic third prong: giving the Naxals a democratic space for self-expression and encouraging them to come overground.
This approach worked in Andhra in the late 1980s. Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy raised hopes of its revival when he lifted the ban on the PWG-CPI-Maoist last year and held talks with them. The party got a roaring public reception on its way from the forests to Hyderabad. But the government didn't act honestly. It cheated the Naxals by tracking their forest hideouts in their absence and obtaining intelligence through coercion. And it refused to negotiate their reasonable demands about recovering public lands illegally grabbed by powerful interests. The talks failed. The government accused the Naxals of 'regrouping' and launched a major offensive. This brought on counter-attacks.
There's a lesson here. If the government is serious about controlling Naxal violence, it must address its structural causes and not resort to gimmicks like Salwa Judum (peace campaign) in Chhattisgarh. It must of course protect citizens' lives, but in lawful, Constitutional, humane ways. It must promote justice and equality. Or Naxalism will continue to spread.

In just the last week, back yards and busy streets of coastal towns in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island were overrun with river water and saw coastal flooding after experiencing record-breaking rainfall totals; well over five inches in a 24-hour span in some parts, while Boston saw nearly three inches on Sunday.
A report from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), released earlier this week, warns that while temperatures are not only rising faster than previously expected – at roughly 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit every year – but the probability that it is a man-made phenomenon also rose from 90 percent in 2007 to 95 percent in September 2013.
Although we didn't see any Superstorm Sandy on the east coast this hurricane season, forecasters are now predicting 11 named storms, five of which are thought to reach hurricane status in 2014, according to a Weather Channel report last week.
In addition to immediate events, the U.N. report also points to carbon emissions at the root of desolation in the agricultural districts of the country, taking a huge toll on food production, and predicting cuts to the world economic output by nearly 2 percent each year.
In an age when polar ice cap melting is no longer a myth, and storms are consistently larger and the cause for cataclysmic ecological and economic effects, lawmakers should take note what scientists have been saying for nearly a century and address the severity of climate change.
While steps have already been taken by an ambitious few, yesterday is the time for a citywide, and worldwide effort, to impose stricter emissions regulations, recycling standards and innovation for new incentives to convert ozone-damaging gasses to renewable energy.

This is a stupid post with no meaning.
Seriusly dudes, lets go play marathon...
P.S My mom forced me to post this.

I'm willing to accept this as a starting point, but let's see some reasoning.Contrary to you're belief, yes, there is a clique.
It's awful, if one of you doesn't like something, no one does, if one of you likes something, soon you're all raving about it, if one of you make something, its an instant hit and people can't think otherwise and get away with it.
"If you post in this topic, you will be banned. Not joking." Wow, how horrible of me to follow up on that very clearly-worded warning.you can do what the hell you want with out caring about consequence ie banning people for posting in a certain pigeon lounge topic, banning for not searching, banning for talking too much in a netgame, shunning users, putting users or their ideas down
The a1 community is probably one of the worst online communities I have been apart of. And no, no one is forcing me to come here, thats my own choice.
"I refuse to actually substantiate my claims, even though you've already done the same. You're still evil!"Firstly, I am not going to go quote hunting, I'm staying with my opinion, I'm not going to play games with you.
1000 members in this clique, no, you know well who is in the clique I'm talking about and no, they're not all in the #alephone room either.
It isn't against the rules to disagree. MoppyPuppy was "gunned down" because he had an opinion, and other people disagreed with him, and there was a discourse. That's how these things work. He was probably treated poorly because of his tendency to UNNECESSARILY ACCENTUATE PARTS OF HIS POST and because he believed that monsters teleporting in is a sign of bad mapmaking -- a direct jab at me. Why shouldn't I respond to that?This probably isn't the best example, and I'm using moppypuppy, but I recall of when he said that he thought RED was the best TC available and how he liked it allot, and got gunned down because RED apparently sucks.
Look, all I ask for is a small change, can't any one be nicer, and more welcoming? some new rules maybe?

Although I was wrong about the map, and seems like pfhotipfhy totally skipped a few posts in that topic. But finding a post of me insulting pfhortipfhy, shlonking it onto your 8 quote list of done-goods proves what?

My own knowledge of computers and the Internet is actually quite new. I had a Performa 6220 in my room with AOL up until 2001 (it had a 14.4k modem), when I got a G4 tower for my birthday. With a more modern system, especially one with roots in UNIX, I could start experimenting with things like real Web browsers, programs (compiling from source code), and the like. It wasn't until college (2004), however, that I really started to learn about these things. I took a web design course in 2005 and then started playing Aleph One with the Marathon community that spring. I learned about Lua and wanted to start adding things like a carnage reporter and jumping, so I asked a guy down the hall to help me with the basics of computer languages. Once I knew a few things, I started looking up manuals and tutorials online. That's how Lua became my first computer language.
Later that fall, I took a Java programming class because I wanted to increase my knowledge in that field. I learned a lot from it and was able to apply a good deal of the new stuff to Lua scripts. In 2006 I took another course in Java, but I hated it, so that was the last of those. However, at the same time, I began to have an interest in making network maps for Marathon, so I used Forge and other familiar tools to do that. By fall 2006, I switched to Linux as my only operating system (I hate OS X now that they concentrate on adding useless features instead of maintaining a stable and fast OS), and I was frustrated that I couldn't do any kind of map editing. I found a really old document that described the structure of Marathon 1 maps and decided to look at it. I jokingly discussed a Lua-based editor with W'rkncacnter at that time, and then started working on something that would read maps and report certain information (using Lua). I found that Lua lacked a lot of what I needed, so I gave up.
In 2007, I decided to try again, this time with Java. W'rk and I teamed up and created the program now known as JUICE. During the summer, I decided to learn the Perl language in order to replace Lua as my "quick and dirty" programming language; Perl is mainly useful for dealing with text, which is what almost all my quickie programs tend to do.
Here's the funny thing: I see all this stuff as a hobby. I use programming every day now, mainly because it makes certain tasks easier (like formatting text into HTML, etc.) or because I get stupid ideas and decide to work on them seriously. I am a writer at heart, and I prefer writing to doing any of this stuff (except that writing is harder, so I get distracted easily). All of the knowledge I have I picked up piece by piece as I went along, either looking it up online (Google is a good help if you can give it the right search phrases), attending a college course, or asking people who already know (my own friends and room mates). You're what, 14? I was 16 when we finally got broadband, and 18 before I even started learning more than the basics about the modern computer/internet culture. In 3 years, I've learned all of what a lot of the Marathon community sees as my greatest set of skills. If you have the time and patience, it won't take too long.
Pfhortiphy annoys me a lot of the time. Even so, he, and others like him, have sent me personal messages or contacted me through e-mail, and I've addressed their concerns very nicely. This is mainly a lesson to some of the guys who feel less welcome: we're a lot nicer one-on-one than we appear to be "in public." When there's no one else around to spin things one way or another, and when no one else will understand the subtle jokes that drive guys like Zephyrus over the edge, we get down to business.
P.S.--Here's some funny stuff from the new Legends archive that shows how paranoid some people are:
We lost all of the best map makers in the big Bridges and Balconies crash of 2001.
What we have now is a self supporting clique of young map makers.
They rig map votes on FB and in contests.
Select the maps you like, reject the rest and hope we get new map making tools soon.[/quote]

Team's state tournament pranks land school on probation
An Iowa high school softball team's pranks at a state tournament have landed the school's athletic program on probation.
The Sioux City Journal says probation for the Lawton-Bronson High School girls program will last for a year.
The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union says that if there's misconduct during the probation, the school faces a year's suspension from all state and regional tournaments.
The pranks occurred in Iowa Central Community College dormitories, where the girls stayed during the tournament July 22-26 in Fort Dodge.
Lawton-Bronson district superintendent Jeff Thelander says the players covered a dorm door in plastic wrap and placed dozens of paper cups filled with water outside doors of opposing players. Thelander also says inappropriate notes were stuck to players' dorm room doors.

Embattled Kansas Bioscience Authority leader resigns
Tom Thornton, the leader of the Kansas Bioscience Authority, which is under investigation and been criticized by Gov. Sam Brownback, has resigned.
The announcement Friday came from KBA board chairman John Carlin.
David Vranicar, who has been president of the KBA's commercialization arm, was named interim president and chief executive officer of the KBA.
"The state can be rightfully proud of the organization Tom helped build," Carlin, a former governor, saidin a prepared statement.
"He assembled and guided a stellar team of professionals who represent an innovative, independent agency that is envied by many other states across the nation. Tom will remain in contact, which will be helpful to us in the transition process. We are grateful for his service and wish him well in his future endeavors," Carlin said.
Thornton has led the economic development agency since 2006.
This year, he came under fire from state Sen. Susan Wagle, R-Wichita, who complained about Thornton's $265,000 salary.
Wagle, chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, also alleged that Thornton had conflicts of interest. KBA officials said her accusations were based on incorrect information.
Wagle also revealed that the Johnson County District Attorney's Office had launched an investigation into KBA. KBA officials have said they don't know what the investigation is about and the District Attorney's Office has refused to comment.
Brownback had called on the KBA to conduct a forensic audit of its operation. Carlin announced last week that the agency would do that.
On Friday, Wagle said Thornton's resignation "resolves only one of the problems my committee has been addressing."
She declined to provide more details, saying there was a criminal investigation going on.
"There is clearly a problem within the agency," she said. "We have a lot more questions."
Her Commerce Committee is scheduled to continue meetings on the KBA when the Legislature returns to session on April 27.
In his resignation letter to board chairman Carlin, Thornton said "The KBA is hailed across the country as a model for bioscience development and the envy of other states."
Thornton reviewed some of the KBA's accomplishments, including helping secure the $650 million National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility, which will be built in Manhattan. He said Kansas has become positioned as an international leader in animal health research, while gaining national recognition in drug and bio-energy research.
He did not give a reason for his resignation and ended the letter with the state's motto: "Ad astra per aspera," which means to the stars through difficulties.
The KBA was formed in 2004 and Thornton was its first president and CEO.

To introduce our new vintage online clothing store- Outside the Box Vintage– Maria and I decided to explore the vast urban jungle of my backyard. Using found objects as props we decided to play dress up on one of the hottest days of the year so far this summer. We were melting, sweating, and oh so shiny. Why didn't we wait another day? We had finally shaken our procrastinating ways and were in determined work mode. This is our feminist take on Vogue fashion shoots.

BAY CITY (AP) -- A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to 14 months to 8 years in prison for driving a car through a crowd following the 2012 Bay City Fireworks Festival.
No one was seriously injured at the event.
MLive.com reports Bay County Circuit Court Judge Harry P. Gill last week told Kason M. Weems that he was "driving in an exceedingly dangerous fashion." Gill says that based on testimony in the case it was "quite remarkable" that no one was killed.
Weems told the judge he didn't intend to harm anyone. The Saginaw man says he was "scared" and trying to get out of the area.
A jury in June convicted Weems of two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon and 11 counts of misdemeanor assault.

Despite featuring perhaps the most skin-crawling consensual three-way in mainstream movie history and a rather messy third act, "Get Him to the Greek" is worth the price of admission.
The plot of "Greek" (from our corporate partners at Universal Pictures), such as it is, finds Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) tasked with fetching rock star Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) from London and bringing him to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles for a concert to commemorate his band's legendary live show at the venue a decade earlier.
Brand stole all of his scenes in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," the film that launched Aldous Snow and introduced middle America to the British comedian. In "Forgetting" Hill played a starstruck waiter incessantly fawning over Snow, but Green is a different, if somewhat similar character. Spinning the two off into their own film was an inspired move.
Brand and Hill have a nice rapport, developing a natural ebb-and-flow that works, both playing to the other's strengths. There's a great moment when the two are talking at a bar, with Snow saying "Hi" to every beautiful woman that passes by. When one misses his radar, Hill offers a quick, "'Ello, luv" in a cheesy British accent. Snow smiles broadly and points appreciatively at Hill. It works because they don't try get any more out of the bit than there is, never letting it interrupt the flow of the scene.
Brand, a real-life recovered drug addict with no shortage of unfortunate incidents in his own past, no doubt brings all his personal history as a petulant, pampered junkie celebrity to the part, and does so to great effect.
For all of the first act and most of the second, writer-director Nicholas Stoller keeps things moving briskly along. But when Hill and Brand find themselves in Vegas, the film starts to crawl a bit, as we are suddenly, inexplicably, sent down the path of personal discovery and character development.
Part of what makes a film like, say, "The Hangover" so great is the near absence of character arc -- they took a classic premise, and hit you with two hours of relentless laughs. When "Greek" is trying to be funny, it is, but when it tries to be something else -- at one point even dramatic (ugh) -- it's tedious.
Mercifully, Sean "Diddy" Combs arrives on the scene to improbably save the day, well, the scene anyway. In fact, Combs (Diddy?) is a pleasant surprise as a just-short-of-monstrously-tyrannical record exec. The part doesn't ask a whole lot of him, but it's right in his wheelhouse.
But then, with things apparently back on track, the whole thing goes pear-shaped again. Without getting in to detail, what makes the end so odd is that it's tone is completely different from the first 90 minutes and it doesn't appear to serve any larger purpose -- not even something as mundane as setting up a sequel.
Nonetheless, "Get Him to the Greek" is a rocking good time that wisely steers clear of its predecessor (though it does give a perfect "Sarah Marshall" a pitch-perfect wink of gratitude), staking out its own territory as truly funny comedy of a completely different flavor.

"Get Him to the Greek" opens nationally today

Ratliff, Schiro Receive Top Awards At Athletics Banquet
BALTIMORE – Loyola University Maryland seniors Scott Ratliff and Nichole Schiro were the 2012 recipients of the John R. Mohler and Ernest Lagna Awards, respectively, as the top male and female senior student-athletes who excel in athletics, scholarship and character.
These awards, and many others, were presented on Monday evening at the 2013 Loyola Athletic Awards Banquet held in McGuire Hall on the Evergreen Campus.
A two-year captain for the men's lacrosse team, Ratliff has been one of the best at his position in the game. The long-stick midfielder was the No. 9 overall pick in the 2013 Major League Lacrosse draft and has been one of the most versatile players in the game, excelling in the possession game, on both defense and offense. In his four years at Loyola, he is second all-time at the school in caused turnovers, and earlier this year, he accomplished something never believed to have happened in modern collegiate lacrosse. He scored four times against Fairfield, a record for a long-pole player. He was the 2012 ECAC Defensive Player of the Year and is currently one of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award.
In her time at Loyola, Schiro literally rewrote the school women's soccer record book. She set Loyola records for goals (52) and points (119) while earning three MAAC Offensive Player of the Year awards. She is the first person to earn that award three times on the women's side, and she was also Capital One Academic All-America First Team honoree this season. She helped the Greyhounds advance to the NCAA College Cup as a freshman and senior and also served on the school's Green and Grey leadership committee.
Several other awards were handed out to Loyola senior student-athletes, beginning with the Unsung Hero Awards.
The Men's Unsung Hero Award went to men's basketball senior Julius Brooks who helped the Greyhounds win 47 games over the last two years as a post player. Brooks was key in the Greyhounds run to the NCAA Tournament as a junior and the CIT Quarterfinals as a senior when he led the team in field-goal percentage.
Women's lacrosse senior Joanna Dalton garnered the Women's Unsung Hero Award after filling a variety of roles, all with a high amount of skill, for the Greyhounds. As an attack player, she helped Loyola advance to four BIG EAST Championships during her time, a tournament the Greyhounds won during her sophomore and junior season and enter as the No. 2 seed this week. She learned the center position for the Greyhounds as a junior and filled in as the main draw specialist that season.
Men's Leadership Award winner Kevin Curan of the men's soccer team was a four-year starter fo the program and played in every game of his collegiate career (78). He was a leader who led vocally and by example, helping the Greyhounds win 60 games during his time at Loyola. This season, as a captain, he helped Loyola win the MAAC regular-season title.
Alyssa Sutherland garnered the Women's Leadership Award and has been a ubiquitous figure at the school, with her women's basketball team and in the athletic department. She was a three-year president of Loyola's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, and she was one of two student-athletes in this year's Green and Grey Society, a school-wide leadership group. Earlier this year, she earned the Diane Geppi-Aikens Award for student leadership, the highest honor a Loyola student can earn for leadership and service to others.
The Men's Medal of Merit went to men's soccer's Hector Arellano. A two-year starter, Arellano earned high academic honors while helping the Greyhounds win the 2012 MAAC Regular-Season title. A stalwart on the Greyhounds' central defense, Arellano was selected by the United State's Navy to be part o their Civil Engineering Corps Officer School and upon graduation, he will enter a program to earn his commission as a naval officer.
Jackie D'Antonio of the women's track and field and cross country teams was the winner of the Women's Medal of Merit. She was a MAAC Champion and All-ECAC honoree earlier this year in indoor track and field. Although she was recruited to run middle distance, she became a top competitor at longer distances, as well as winning the 800-meters indoors earlier this year.
Men's lacrosse player Sean O'Sullivan was the recipient of the Diane Geppi-Aikens Inspiration Award. During the Greyhounds' 2012 run to the NCAA Championship, O'Sullivan's mother passed away from pancreatic cancer. O'Sullivan used her passing as an inspiration to a high level of play, and his teammates fed from his leadership and drive.
The women's rowing team and Head Coach Rick McClure was tabbed for having the highest cumulative grade point average among the Greyhounds' 18 teams, track and field's Noreen Petrash and golf's Jon Ross were the two senior student-athletes with the highest grade point averages.
In addition to the department-wide awards, student-athletes from each team received Most Dedicated and Most Valuable awards:

There is a nation of artists throughout the world. village of carvers in Bali;
a family of ceramists in Brazil who have handed down their craft
from generation to generation;
a farmer in the Andes who hand-weaves alpaca sweaters.
It is a community of artists who have been isolated
for centuries by distance, time, and geography --
isolated from the very community of collectors seeking
their unique, inspired, and undiscovered arts and crafts.
Now, finally, there is a bridge connecting our separate
communities into one worldwide nation --
this is The NOVICA Nation.
A nation of people inspired by the arts and
empowered by the Internet.
Novica offers everything from Sterling Silver Jewelry to Earrings to necklaces, unique gifts, and much more!
I received these to review:
Sterling silver half hoop earrings, 'Moon in the Forest'
.925 rating silver.
Made by:
Wadarat Supasirisuk
"Sawadee kha! My name is Wadarat Supasirisuk and I was born on April 19, 1941 in the southern province of Nakorn Sri Thamarat. I am married and we have two children. After graduating from university, I had the opportunity to work in a company that manufactured jewelry. I chose that company because not only did the products interest me, but also because I could tell there was a growing demand for Thai jewelry.
I began to save my earnings and eventually opened my own workshop. I believe that opportunities are everywhere, that is, for those who can anticipate and make the risky decision to invest time and money.
I purchased some materials and started marketing the products myself. It was then that I traveled abroad, to Europe and Australia. When I was in Bangkok I became aware of the potential for silver jewelry. I looked at the northern region of Chiang Mai and decided to expand my scope of products.
Earrings, rings, necklaces, and bracelets – I design all these products myself, sometimes adapting patterns I see in magazines and catalogues, sometimes simply through asking clients and professionals about the current trends. However, most of the times my clients already have in mind what it is they want and just ask me to actually make it.
My products are nice and of good quality. I feel confident that, regardless where you are from, you will like them."
What I like about these earrings and Novica:
1. I love the whole concept of this company!
2. I really enjoyed reading and seeing a picture of the woman who created earrings.
3. My experience w/ this company was unique!
4. Came w/ a handwritten postcard from Thailand thanking me for my purchase written in their language and English. Pretty cool!
5. Even the jewelry box was cool in that it is made from Sea Paper, a handmade mulberry bark paper that has been made in Thailand for over 700 years.
6. Quick shipping.
7. These Sterling Silver earrings were very pretty and delicate.
What I didn't like:
1. Nothing!

Can someone help me with this?
The last digit of a credit card number is the check digit, which protects against transcription errors such as an error in a single digit or switching two digits. the following method is used to verify actual digit card numbers but for simplicity, we will describe it for numbers with 8 digits instead of 16.
--> Starting from the rightmost digit, form the sum of every other digit. For example, if the credit card number is 4358 9795, then you form the sum 5+7+8+3=23
--> Double each of the digits that were not included in the preceding step. Add all digits of the resulting numbers. For example, with the number given above, doubling the digits, starting with the next-to-last one yields 18 18 10 8. Adding all digits in these values yields 1+8+1+8+1+0+8=27
--> Add the sums of of the two preceding steps. If the last digit of the result is 0, the number is valid. IN our case, 23+27=50, so the number is valid
Write a program that implements this algorithm. The user should supply an 8 digit number, and you should print out whether the number is valid or not. If it is not valid, you should print the value of the check digit that would make it valid.

DMB takes Europe
Dave Matthews Band may be one of the biggest touring acts in the nation, but across the pond? Let's just say they don't have quite the draw. The band may be hoping to change that with its 2007 tour. After two weeks in Australia in late March and April, DMB will rest up for a month before heading to Ireland, Portugal, and Belgium. The grand finale: a May 30 performance at famed Wembley Arena in London.
Waldo Jaquith, founder of the award-winning DMB fansite nancies.org, says the band's last effort at attracting European crowds– for the album Everyday in 2001– was a disaster, after their label attempted a marketing campaign consisting of signs asking, "Who is Dave Matthews?" The problem, Jaquith says: "Nobody cared."
Now that DMB is freed from their Sony/BMG contract outside of the U.S., Jaquith believes the upcoming European tour could mean "they decided that they're ready to take their global promotion into their own hands."
"Last time they were playing clubs," he says, "so Wembley is a big step in the right direction."
Reaching out to new English speaking audiences makes good sense, says Jaquith.
"They've peaked in the U.S.," he says. "How do you get any more popular than the Dave Matthews Band?"

I agree that they have an uphill struggle here in the Uk. I'm booked to see them play in Oxofrd (solo gig ) and in Wembley. you have to remeber that The UK is predominantly an indie based country , loving everything that looks great but sounds shocking. I for one think that DMb are the best bunch of musicians and songwriters around the World and they desreve to be bigger than all the rest of the band in the UK put together. I hope it catches on, but it is very American sounding , which is not necessarily a good thing in this day and age (i'm afraid).
Still, they infulence me massively and I am a songwriter as well.

Voting next time—and in 2020
[Please note: This comment originally appeared on Rick Hasen's Election Law Blog as part of his Fixing Election Administration series.]
Election reform should embrace a long-term perspective and include non-partisan administration of the voting process. Meanwhile, eliminating unconscionably long lines at the polls is a short-term imperative, as is the need for more data on which to base long-term reform.
It is too soon after the casting of ballots this year for any definitive pronouncements on exactly what reforms the new Congress should adopt in order to improve the voting process. Many of these ballots still remain to be counted. Although there already are calls for legislation that would revamp voter registration, for example, we are likely to learn much more over the next month about the way voter registration actually worked in 2008.
Several significant elections remain unsettled as of this writing, including the presidential election in Missouri, the U.S. Senate elections in Alaska and Minnesota, Ohio's 15th congressional district (which arguably is "ground zero" for the law of provisional voting), and several other U.S. House races. How these races are resolved is likely to tell us much about the practical significance of various voter registration rules: Election Day Registration (EDR) in Minnesota, compared with Ohio's five-day limited version of early voting EDR, versus Missouri's more traditional model.
Moreover, even in elections that are no longer in dispute, the process of reviewing provisional ballots in different states—as well as the analogous process of evaluating the eligibility of absentee ballots that are disputed for various reasons relating to voter registration—will reveal valuable insights about the accuracy of voter registration lists, the challenge of adopting sound practices to maintain those lists, and the obstacles to voter participation as a consequence of suboptimal administrative practices.
As our Moritz-authored book From Registration to Recounts discussed, voter registration is one part of a larger system of interrelated voting administration rules, which also include voter identification, provisional ballots, polling place challenges to voter eligibility, the recruitment and training of poll workers, and many other components. As we documented, it is necessary to understand each component in the context of the state's overall "electoral ecosystem." I suspect—although don't yet know because the data is not yet available—that the problems that voters encountered in 2008 concerning the disqualification of both absentee and provisional ballots will tell us something important about administrative practices concerning voter registration (and vice versa).
Having made this cautionary observation about avoiding a rush to judgment on the specific voting reform legislation to put before the 111th Congress, I do think the following observations are not premature:
First, short-term versus long-term. It is worth distinguishing between problems that are imperative to fix before we vote again as a nation, in contrast to currently identifiable problems that nonetheless would benefit from a more long-term solution. One of the lessons of our experience with the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) may be that Congress moved too quickly to replace the wretched punch-card machines with expensive-yet-inadequate touchscreen technology, which subsequently needed to be jettisoned or imperfectly retrofitted. At least on the issue of vote-counting equipment, the next Congress might do well to set up a decade-long process that, starting in 2010, will lead to the use in 2020 of a new voting infrastructure of which our nation truly can be proud.
"2020 Democracy: Developing and Implementing a Vision for our Nation's Voting Process" we might call this decade-long agenda. Consider it a gift to the children born in 2000, that year of the hanging chad. For the first presidential election in which these first-born citizens of the 21st century can vote, we will bequeath to them a truly state-of-the-art electoral process. If the nation could actually achieve that objective, it would be worth waiting for; and if the 111th Congress sets in motion the process that yields this result, it will deserve the historical credit. (Putting into place the data collection necessary for Heather Gerken's "Democracy Index" would be an important first step in this decade-long agenda.)
Second, the immediate imperative of reducing waiting times to vote. Even if one agrees that Congress should take a long-term approach to many aspects of electoral reform, there is one aspect of the process that cannot wait—and that is the truly unconscionable amount of time that many voters, particularly African-Americans, needed to wait in line this past Tuesday in order to cast their ballots. There are profound non-partisan reasons for all Americans to celebrate the vindication of democracy in our nation that occurred last week, as the world rightly took notice. But in the midst of this well-justified celebration, we should not lose sight of the fact that the historically unprecedented nature of this year's election masks the degree of disenfranchisement that these excessively long lines would have caused in any other election.
Since Tuesday, there have been reports of voters in several states—including Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Virginia—waiting five, six, or seven hours to vote! There was even one CNN report of a Pennsylvania voter waiting 11 hours! Missouri's Secretary of State has expressed the fear that some voters were unable to withstand the excessively long lines in that state, and since the presidential election in Missouri remains undecided, it is conceivable that disenfranchisement caused by the inordinate waiting times may end up being decisive on which candidate won that state. (If so, one shudders to think what would have happened if Missouri's Electoral College voters had been necessary for either candidate to reach 270.)
The consequence of the problem would have been much worse if voters, particularly African-Americans, had been unwilling to endure the unconscionable waiting times in order to vote this year, no matter how long it took. But voting should not be such an ordeal. Congress should set a national standard that no voter should have to wait more than one hour to cast a ballot and then work with states on ways to implement this standard. A change from Election Day to Election Week, at least for presidential elections, would seem a sensible place to start.
This move would differ from "early voting," as currently practiced in many states, where only one location is available for voting in each county prior to Election Day. This year we saw five-hour and longer lines at these single "early voting" locations. The different concept of Election Week, by contrast, would consist of multiple "voting centers" dispersed throughout a county, which would be open twelve hours per day, for seven days. Surely, voters could find a time within their busy schedules to visit one of these vote centers and cast a ballot without having to wait more than one hour. It would be more expensive than our current practice, but this year demonstrates that there is a constitutionally minimum level of expenditure necessary in order to prevent voters from having to suffer unreasonably long lines at polling places.
Bottom line on this point: certainly by 2012, when the United States next votes for President, Congress should have put in place a solution to the long-line problem we saw this year.
Third, rules versus institutions. One truth that this year already confirms is that it is not enough for Congress, or the states, to write new legislation that purports to set the rules for operating the voting process. To be sure, those rules are important, and it is highly desirable that those rules be clear and straightforward, whatever policy judgments they reach concerning the balance between facilitating voter participation and protecting the integrity of the voting process. But even with well-written rules, unexpected issues will emerge, and in this intensely competitive environment candidates will be looking for ways to exploit unforeseen gaps in the legislative scheme. In this situation, the identity of the administrator who implements the legislation is crucial.
We have seen the inevitable problem whenever a state's chief elections officer, charged with implementing the voting rules, is an elected partisan official. This problem is structural, and it exists whether the officer is an elected Democrat or an elected Republican. The problem merely may be one of appearances, rather than reality, but that is enough in the elections business. The dynamic now exists in which the other political party attempts to undermine the credibility and legitimacy of the state's chief elections officer, so that it can win back the position.
This dynamic has been most acute in Ohio, where Republicans have looked for ways to attack Jennifer Brunner's every move (and she has regrettably given them some openings), in an apparent payback for the Democratic attacks on her Republican predecessor, Ken Blackwell. But the same dynamic has occurred to a lesser extent in Minnesota, where Republicans have looked for opportunities to trip up Mark Ritchie in a tit-for-tat response to Democratic criticisms of his predecessor, Mary Kiffmeyer. This childish behavior would be inconsequential except that it erodes public confidence in the fairness and integrity of electoral process. Even worse, the maneuvering makes it even more difficult for local administrators to do their jobs properly, as they endeavor to keep their heads down while the partisan bombshells are hurled back and forth. We'll see, too, whether this dynamic interferes with Ritchie's ability to conduct the impending Minnesota recount in a way that both sides perceive as impartial and fair, even assuming the best of intentions on his part.
It may be difficult for Congress to mandate that for federal elections, including presidential elections, states employ a non-partisan chief elections officer. That issue is one that needs further examination, including an analysis of relevant constitutional considerations. Nonetheless, there will be no truly successful reform of the voting process—whether for 2020 or any other year—unless and until our nation figures out a way to rid itself of this structural defect in our system.
The new Congress thus should not have the attitude, "We're fine with states having elected Secretaries of State running their elections, as long as they are Democrats." Instead, Congress should look for ways creatively to eliminate this institutional problem. Since it won't be easy, even though it is essential, tackling this topic is another reason to set our sights long-term.
Fourth, the ticking time bomb of the Twelfth Amendment. We now have had two presidential elections in which we've escaped another disaster like the one in 2000, and the odds are in our favor that we will have many more escapes until the next disaster hits. But these escapes do not mean that we are safe.
At some point in our nation's future, there will be another incredibly close presidential election, where the winner of the Electoral College depends on the outcome in a single state and the result in that single state depends upon the resolution over a dispute over the counting of ballots for presidential electors there. When that occurs, all the reform of the voting process will not matter—including the institutional reform of non-partisan chief election officers in each state—unless Congress has also reformed the institutional mechanism for resolving this kind of dispute over presidential ballots.
In the aftermath of Bush v. Gore, it is unclear whether as a practical matter the institution that will resolve a future dispute over presidential ballots will be the U.S. Supreme Court again or, instead, Congress according to the arcane and imperfect procedures of the Electoral Count Act, which was adopted in the wake of the crisis of 1876. This institutional uncertainty is unsettling—and undesirable. It is the result of the Twelfth Amendment failing to specify what should happen when this kind of dispute arises, a defect noted presciently by Joseph Story in the 1830s but we have yet to rectify.
While it might not seem the most pressing reform given the odds each year against another meltdown scenario, as a nation we have suffered considerably the two times that this deficiency has mattered: 1876 and 2000. It would be preferable that, whenever this kind of situation happens again, we have already taken the steps to be better equipped with a clear and fair method of resolving this kind of dispute.
Thus, as long as we are itemizing the elements of a state-of-the-art electoral system for 2020, this particular item should be added to the list.

Andrew from Ecco Caffe kindly sent me some of the first batch from his "Experimental Espresso Program."
This was a 50/50 blend of two gorgeous Brazil CoE coffees.
The 2006 Fazenda Serra do Bone from Carlos Sergio Sanglard is one of my favorite SO espressos. This is a Catuai varietal from Matas de Minas - and took 4th in the Brazil CoE with a score of 91.93 points. As an SO shot is has incredible body and a lovely honey/caramel finish.
The 2006 Fazenda Pedra Preta from Guilherme Dias De Castro is a Yellow Bourbon from Carmo de Minas. It took 3rd in the Brazil CoE with a score of 92.24. As an SO shot this combined a lovely sweetness with intense floral/citrus high notes.
It took an enormous amount of courage (IMHO) for Andrew to create this blend. These are expensive and valuable CoE coffees and are very limited in supply.
Andrew's brewing instructions were very clear... 19grams in an LM double basket; 1.75oz double at 201.5F in 24-28 seconds.
I started by following these instructions and found that it produced a very dense shot with strong chocolate and burnt honey notes and a rich nutty, syrupy body. This was really pretty stunning in short milk drinks - but I felt that I could probably create an espresso that was more to my (personal) taste by tweaking these parameters a bit.
Initially I started by changing dose and brew temp, looking to coax out some of the high notes. With some experimentation, I found that a brew temp of a little over 200F and a dose of 17.5grams produced a shot that I found really lovely as a straight espresso. It had great sweet pink grapefruit high notes and a body of honey roasted pecan, powdered dutch cocoa and a lovely vanilla tone that reminds me of aged Flor de Cana rum. This extraction wasn't ideal with milk - but as a straight shot.... stunning.
I figured that there had to be a way to get the rich, syrup and caramel body of the first extraction with the sweet citrus and Flor de Cana notes. After a fair amount of trial and error - I discovered that going with the Synesso triple basket (with its rounded side walls); slightly down-dosed; and a brew temp of 200.5F yielded a 2.75oz shot that was - to put it bluntly - fucking glorious. Rich, dense, clean, transparent, sweet tangerine, candied nut, burnt honey, bittersweet chocolate, tropical flowers... and that lovely Flor de Cana finish. Lovely as a straight shot - with near perfect balance - and equally awesome as a cappuccino.
Life is good!

Dykking & Marinbevaring - Frivillig Arbeid i Thailand: Månedlige Oppdateringer
Månedlige Oppdateringer fra 2011
There was plenty of jolliness and tons of merriness all around the conservation project during the month of December! We found ourselves getting into the Christmas spirit early on as we began planning a festive theme to our activities. This included diving in the warm tropical waters wearing santa hats and working out ways to bring the joy of the season into the local community and schools whilst continuing to focus our efforts on environmental education.
November has been an incredible month for us here in Thailand, we have done so much that it's hard to know where to begin! We have really felt a sense of being part of the community as the volunteers got involved with the local people and their traditions this month. We worked together on conservation activities, organised events with local schools and celebrated together during the ancient Festival of Light.
On 1st October we officially moved into our new premises, an eco-resort named the Dawn of Happiness. Set amongst a tropical garden, the conservation team and volunteers have set up home in simple bamboo bungalows on the beach at Ao Nammao.
Wow... what a month! September 2011 was nominated as International Clean-up month by environmental agencies worldwide. The conservation volunteers, together with our dedicated team, have been out there cleaning the beaches, the reefs and the ocean. In addition, we have been working on outreach projects, educating the local community and school children.
We have had an amazing month here and, as always, our volunteers leave with a sense of pride, achievement and knowledge that they have made a difference.
It's been a busy summer here at the conservation project in Thailand. So let me begin by filling you in on all the cool stuff that has been going on here...
January and February were busy months in Ao Nang with up to 18 volunteers on the marine conservation project. Even though we are supposed to be in the middle of the dry season, the weather has been very wet and windy which made it difficult for us to access the dive sites that we wanted to and some days it was impossible to dive at all!

Claim Your Vengeance
Oaths of Vengeance Is Now Available for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game
"After the Battle of Griffon Pass, Alith Anar captured seven hundred Dark Elves and had them nailed high upon the white cliffs overlooking the narrow valley, where they hung until they died." –Warhammer Armies: High Elves
Claim your vengeance with Oaths of Vengeance, the second Battle Pack of the Eternal War cycle for Warhammer: Invasion The Card Game! Oaths of Vengeance is now available at your local retailer and online through our webstore.
The Eternal War cycle draws new focus to the battlefield and its changing tactics with the Ambush and Raider keywords, which allow your units to surprise your opponents with guerrilla tactics and gather resources from their actions in the battlefield. Of the ten new units in Oaths of Vengeance, six of them feature the Ambush and Raider keywords. Additionally, the pack introduces new supports and tactics that enrich the battlefield phase, adding greater strategy and dynamism to the game's fast-paced warfare.
In the confusion of battle, the High Elves rally around their legendary Shadow King of Nagarythe, Alith Anar (Oaths of Vengeance, 21). One of only two High Elves to have invaded Naggaroth and escape unscathed, Alith Anar is an extremely elusive figure and a master of ambushes who is driven by a constant thirst for vengeance. Oaths of Vengeance brings this legend to life and allows him to lead his followers on numerous deadly skirmishes from the shadows. However, the High Elves aren't the only ones ready to launch surprise assaults with the new cards from Oaths of Vengeance.
Heeding the Summons
While the Old World's other races hatch ambushes and launch raids with their new cards from Oaths of Vengeance, the hordes of Chaos pursue a different approach to their conquest of the battlefield – brute strength.
What the "brute strength" approach lacks in subtlety, it can more than make up for in brutes. Oaths of Vengeance summons the Shaggoth Champion (Oaths of Vengeance, 33) to the battlefield, a unit that can potentially burn a zone in a single attack all by itself. Shaggoths are among the most ancient of monsters and infused with the power of Chaos. They bartered with the Ruinous Powers before the dawn of man and, as a result, can grow truly gigantic, increasing in power and vitality with each card your opponent has in his hand.
Of course, the "X" value that defines the Shaggoth Champion's power and vitality also defines its cost, meaning that this behemoth of destruction may also be a prohibitively expensive addition to your ranks. Fortunately for you fans of Chaos, Oaths of Vengeance also includes the Epic Spell, Summons of Chaos (Oaths of Vengeance, 34), which allows you to play your heavy hitting Shaggoth Champion for merely two resources…and the offering to the Ruinous Powers of a chunk of your deck. Thus summoned, the Shaggoth Champion – or a Bloodthirster (Core Set, 92) or similarly powerful unit – can surprise your foes with its sudden ferocity. When you play multiple Summons of Chaos and burn through your deck to pay their costs, you may teeter on the brink of decking yourself out. Still, you shouldn't need many turns with massive brutes like these crashing into the battlefield!
Seek Your Vengeance
With its new Ambush and Raider units and battlefield-focused tactics, Oaths of Vengeance provides the races of the Old World more reason than ever before to take to the battlefield and vie for dominance.
Head to your local retailer to pick up your copy of Oaths of Vengeance today, or find yours online on our webstore!
