Best Uses
Loved this candle and will definately be buying more of them.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
The candles,themselves, look nice, but they used to come with 3 timer settings (4,6,or 8) hours. I noticed on the order from this year, the timer area on the bottom of the candle is still there, but blank/ inoperable. I wanted to add new candles with my orders from previous years, but I usually set them for 6 or 8 hours. The new 4 hour only candle will shut off before the others. Bummer. Please bring back timer setting options!
- Just like real candles
Best Uses
I have place the trio in a glass enclosure on a stand. They look lovely and they look like real candles. I ordered the white ones for every day and the red trio for the Christmas holidays.
- Won't Burn The House Down
- Timer On For 5 Hours
Best Uses
Like I said, it flickers like a real candle, but won't burn your house down. I love candles, but don't have anywhere to put them that doesn't put my house at risk!
The only thing I dislike is that the timer leaves the candle on for 5 hours. I'd like a shorter time, but maybe that's just me.
They make wonderful gifts!

GOSHEN >> Goshen Players opens its 65th season with "Lend Me a Tenor" by Ken Ludwig. Tenors and hilarity abound in this door-slamming, musical farce filled with double entendres, mistaken identities and cork-screw-like plot twists.
When Tito Merelli, aka "Il Stupendo" played by Scott Stanchfield accidentally sedates himself prior to a benefit performance for the Cleveland Opera Company, theatre manager Saunders (Ron Dukenski), goes to every length imaginable to ensure that the show will go on.
With Il Stupendo out cold, assistant theatre manager Max (Michael Accuosti) is forced into costume and makeup in an effort to take his place.
Voila! A second tenor!
Complexities ensue when Il Stupendo awakens — more or less. The groggy star also dons a costume and makeup for the performance.
Meanwhile, an ambitious bellhop (Alex Giacin) with delusions of grandeur wants nothing more than to make an appearance for Il Stupendo.
A third tenor? He would like to think so!
Add to this mix of musical misfits a cast of lovely ladies, each of whom complicate things beyond belief.
Maria Merelli (Colleen Renzullo) seeks revenge on the secret lover she thinks her husband is hiding (he is not); young Maggie (Tracey Brown) seeks to catch the superstar's eye, though she cannot even recognize him (or Max); soprano Maggie (Juliette Koch) seeks to "fling" her career forward by any means necessary, with or without her clothes; and grande dame Julia (Janice Connor) seeks to make the opera house succeed at any cost.
"Lend Me a Tenor" is presented through special arrangements with the Samuel French Company and is underwritten by Union Savings Bank. Continued...
The play will be presented at Goshen Old Town Hall, 2 North Street, at the Junction of Routes 4 and 63, Goshen on Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 5-6, 12-13, 19-20 at 8 p.m. and Sundays, Oct. 7 and 14 at 4 p.m.
All seating is reserved and can be purchased by calling the box office at 491-9988 or by visiting www.goshenplayers.org. All tickets to all performances are $20. Early reservations for the Cabaret Seating is strongly encouraged.

It wasn't too long ago that flight simulation joysticks were simple: Right, Left. Forward, Backward. But just like the advances in flight simulation software, joysticks have come a long way.
The Fly Away Simulation downloads directory is one of the biggest and most well organized file libraries there is. The library covers aircraft addons, scenery expansions including mods and downloads for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, X-Plane and many earlier versions.

Most of the expansions include installation instructions to help you install them, however if you are having trouble installing any aircraft or scenery, feel free to visit our forum - you don't even have to be a member to post.
You can download the files free of charge, however there is a speed limit applied to free users. If you're interested in registered for an unlimited account, there is more information here.

Welcome to Fly Away Simulation. We cover many aspects of flight simulation on this website including the popular series released by Microsoft: Microsoft Flight, Flight Simulator X, FS2004 and of course X-Plane by Laminar Research.
Before you are able to become a virtual aviator, you need a package for your PC or Mac. We feature some great free flight simulation packages that users may download including X-Plane, FlightGear and Orbiter. However, for a true simulation experience with maximum features and expansion options, we currently recommend Microsoft Flight Simulator X or X-Plane from Laminar Research; both can be purchased from our store, SimShack.net with worldwide delivery.
Before you can enjoy virtual aviation, you will need to get yourself a flight sim package. There are many out there, but currently the best and most expandable are Microsoft Flight Simulator X or X-Plane.
Microsoft's flight simulation packages have always been the most popular, and not by chance. They feature complete world scenery and many stunning aircraft out of the box. Microsoft FSX is the latest of their simulation series that offers "full world" simulation with a complete experience. This differs from the newer 2012 "Microsoft Flight" game, as this is not a complete package out of the box; it's more of a quick, fun game with no third party add-on support - so for those who want the full experience, we recommend FSX.
X-Plane has always been the professional's choice, it features many advanced functions and ultimate realism. Just released is X-Plane version 10, which is quite possibly the ultimate package there is available. X-Plane runs on Windows and Mac so you don't have to worry about what operating system you run. Out of the box, over 20 aircraft are included and highly detailed world scenery with thousands of airports and airfields.
The first step is to register for an account with us so that you have full access to the downloads sections along with a full profile in the forums and any comments you make on the website. You don't have to register to post in the forums or comments sections, however to access all of the expansion add-ons and downloads, you will need to register.

Going to be starting up a new Role-playing campaign as GM. This time Legend of the Five Rings, on of my all-time favorite games for ease of playing, flexibility and fun. Coure it's tough to geta really good crowd of people that really know how to roleplay the Samurai and Japanese cultural mentality. For those not familiar, L5R the RPG is based on a still-popular CCG of the same name. It's set in a fantastical world called Rokugan, which is filled with Sword-wielding Samurai, Spirit-calling Shugenja, Sharp-tounged Courtiers and Horrific Oni, demonic beasts from the darkest Hells. Rokugan culture revolves around Seven great Clans/Houses and their vassal-families as well as several Minor Clans.The Crab Clan - Brave defenders of the Empire and Rokugan's first line of defense against the Shadowlands. Considered the rudiest, most disgusting an barbaric of the Clans and they could care less, they havea Duty to perform.The Crane Clan - Beautiful but deadly. They count the Greatest swordsman in Rokugan amongst their numbers, their skills at the blade are exceeded only by their Skills at court. Often considered the epitome of Samurai culture.The Dragon Clan - Enigmatic, wise and introspective. The Dragon are know for their enlightened ways, deadly swords skills and the Keen eyes of their Magistrates. The Dragon also have some of the finest Swordsmen in Rokugan and are best know for their two-sword technique.The Lion Clan - Aggressive, haughty and brilliant. The Lion are the masters of the Battlefield and have amongst their numbers the brightest tactical minds in all of Rokugan. Universally reknowned for their Brashness.The Phoenix Clan - Masters of the Five Elements, the Phoenic are best known for their Magical Prowess, few can stand to face the might of an enrage Phoenix army. Their Samurai are some of the finest Bodyguards in Rokugan.The Unicorn Clan - Masters of mounted combat. They become one with their steeds and are a froce to be reckoned with on the Battlefield. They are also only recently returned to Rokugan in the last 200 years, having been gone to explore the lands outside of the empire. They are considered barbaric and uncivilized.The Scorpion - Assassins, Saboteurs, Spies, Courtiers and generally, dirty, underhanded and deceitful. what can you say about a clan that is universally know for the masks that it's members wear? Despite what the rest of the Clans think the Scorpion are most dedicated to the health and well-being of the Empire, why? Cause it's their Duty. At any rate part of the set-up for the game I'm going to run is that all the Characetrs are members of the Scorpion Clan. This way I can run it as a Spy Campiagn set in medieval Japan. Lots of fun to be had. I recently aquired a nice little supplement from the Spycraft game a random mission Generator...and WOW does it have some good ideas. I got about a third of the way through the sheets I have and already have ideas and notes for around 15 seperate missions! Only took a little creative thinking to tweak them form a modern-day setting to the world of Rokugan. I am SO looking forward to running this game!
Wow! I haven't been in here in like.. forever! Sowwy. *hangs head and goes to catch up on reading*
anyone see monday's something awful article?
No it wasn't getting cheaper Peter. I merely said that I wasn't going to wait until it did. Especially since the shelves in our stores aren't buckling under the weight of the game now that it IS highpriced.yalahii.
Yep, that's the problem with games made in Germany and distributed by an Austrian publisher. They aren't nearly as popular anywhere outside the German speaking countries...From your recent posts in the Mint I would assume you like it and have been spending way too much time playing it? :)It's all my fault... sorry :))
Still playing through Diablo II right now, started up another new Character that I'm so far doing pretty well with. Really liking the Barbarian, simply due to it being low-matinence, ie- not a lot of Hot-key action to monkey with like I do with the Assassin. But I'm doing my usual Scatter-shot approach and balancing out the things I want, which may be less effective. About the only hting I've denied almost is entirely are the Warcries. The exception being Potion Find and Item Find...or will be Item Find when I gain a level. Most of the websites I've been to keep saying how useful these are fro keeping monsters from resureccting, but I find Ice weapons do the trick just fine in most cases.
Playing online or offline?
Don't worry Peter, it's an addiction I love. I haven't even been able to spend way too much time on it. :( This pesky thing called social life has kept on dragging me away from it. No matter how hard I try not to have one, it keeps right on coming at me. ;p Right now I'm in level 3 or so (on my way to Shiel). And I already noticed it was German, some of the texts weren't in English even though the spoken text was. :)Yalahii.
Offline...still not liking the idea of playing online, but will if I can find someone I trust and don't have to eb on a server with tons of other peoplesPlus I can do the make a copy of the save folder and gamble to my hearts content...8)Would like to arrange a weekend day to do spend some online time maybe.
Well, as I said before, Renfield, just mail me if you want to play. If you don't get a reply within a few minutes... I'm offline ;)
Well what's a good day for you? And time? heck what is our time difference anyway? I know we've played Starcraft Online before but i was up fairly early for that as I recall, which doesn't bother me much as I'm usually up around 6am on the weekends anyway.
My time zone is GMT+1 and I should have time. I don't tend to organize that kind of thing, so just ping me if you want to play and see if I'm on and available ;)
*nods* we'l see how I feel tomorrow morning or sunday...8)
Wow. It's the first time I've posted in Renfield's Game Lab. :)Anyone else here play Magic: The Gathering?I've got a PS2 and a Gamecube. Here are some quick observations:Gamecube: Is really worth getting, even if you only decide to buy a few games. The games themselves are usually cheaper than XBox or PS2, and you can get generic memory cards for as little as $4.00.I've only got a few games for GC, but for me it's been well worth it.If any of you are planning on getting The Sims for PS2, don't. All you can do is live with your nagging mother and be her slave. Not my idea of fun. PC version is so much superior, in so many ways.
I used to play Magic and the L5R CCG and quite a few other CCG's. Fortunately I've given up the flat-crack habit and have saved a lot more money, which is good since I need it.I still have one magic deck I kept after I sold off my collection of goodies two years ago. It's a colorless and blue multi-player deck built around the Urza's lands and Tolarian Academy and LOTS of Artifacts. Also includes the Chimeras and Phyrexian Dreadnoughts and many, many fun tricks.

@Ren: It sounds like you have one killer deck! :) The latest Magic editions and expansions are all extremely artifact-heavy. I expect the next set will be anti-artifact.I've got 7 decks, only a few of which are built around artifacts. My best deck is a Green/White Cat Equipment Deck, with lots of leonin-themed stuff, a few Cat Legends, (and 4 serra embraces, for flying). Very similar to that one is my White Griffin Deck, which also has lots of equipment and 4 Whispersilk Cloaks (rendering the griffins unblockable), but obviously no flying spells.I've got a Red Artifact 'cheese' deck that's good at picking off enemies slowly until I get out my big artifact creatures that have artifact-affinity. Then I have a Black/White Life/Death deck with a pestilence theme and lots of plague rats, along with 4 Life Bursts. I also have several decks that have never performed very well: a Green Dog deck, a Red/Green creature deck, and a Red Burn deck.I don't play Blue. Just never could get into it.

racist. :)
I never did either, hated all the counterspell crap. So No Counterspells...8)The blue helps with some of the trick cards I have to bounce artifacts back to my hand etc...I do have direct damage via 4 Rocket Launchers...with the Tolarian academy I have more than enough mana to use them even at a 2:1 ratio, but for real fun I put in a Karn the silver Golem Legend to animate all my artifacts and lower the activation costs of the rocket launcher. So I use my mana to blow up someone's creatures, then swamp him with my now-living artifacts...8)It's a multoi-function deck.hey, if you can do it, get your hands on all the Legends from the Weatherlight Crew and build a deck around it. Including the Legacy Weapon, the weather ligth adn the Predator. Sure it'sa 5-color deck, but WOW the fun I had with that deck. The trick is in color changing artifacts and creatures, ie that change one color into another, used a bunch of item I can't recall the name of but worked very well...and were colorless to put out!
Sounds like you had some really neat deck ideas, Ren! :)I'll look into seeing if I can build a deck along those lines. We'll see. It seems like the best cards get snatched up at the local card shop, and no one ever lets them go.
heh if you liked that...of the last few decks I had assembled my favorites were the nigh-creaturless multi-player deck that could kill everyone else at once...the creature in the deck was obstiante familiar, only draw as many cards as you like, no matter how many you are forced to draw...Horn of Plenty; Play a Land, draw a cardCauldron of Storms; Tap a land for mana bounce it to your hands and can play one extra land per turn.Sphere of Protection:Green; All damage from green sources reduced by two.FastBond(green card): Play as many lands per turn as you like, take a point of damage for every card beyond the first.Soul Drain (?): 1 Black, 1 White + X. Do X damage to target oppnent, gain X life.with Obstinant Familiar Draw as much as you want, play as much as you want build up your mana pool until you get the Soul Drain...blast somebody for however many Mana you've built at that point..."Eat 4 million damage!"The other fun deck was the Animated Land Death deck.Dingus Staff; take 2 points of damage every time you lose a land.Burning Sands(?); Every time you lose a creature, you lose a land.Various ways to animate lands. Animate all of an opponent's Lands, zorch one of their newly animated lands...watch their man go poof! AND they take damage for each land they lose! other cards to cleanse other creatures from the board so they can't hurt you and enough life-gain to stay ahead of the opponents damage curve....8)
Gamers Wanted:Hey gang, the Legend of the Five Rings RPG I wanted to run here at home is not happening due to lack of playerage so I am contemplating running it as an online game. I would utilize IRC/IRQ one of which has a bult in die-rolling utility, or will when I set up the game. The idea for the online si that it would be LIVE not via e-mail. Grnated there will be some e-mailing back and forth for characetr Sheets and subplots. If anyone is interested in this let me know. Later on I will post more requirements and set up for the story etc...I do require a commitment of time so we can sit down and play once a week for several hours at a time. I will try to arraneg this at the most convenient time for everyone to be able to show up at the same time and be realtively awake...8)So if you have an interest in Japanese Culture and fantasy RPGing and have the time to commit feel free to post. There will be also a requiment to purchase the Core Rule book for the system so we're all operating from th same info. I already have 3 potential playes and would like to see between 2-4 others as well.This will NOT be a hack-n-slash game, in fact if things devolve to the point of Combat then people will die. Not to say there WON'T be combat, but it's a muc more politically-oriented game.

Configuration Notes:With the extended PROFINET diagnostics it is possible to have functions like the diagnostics and parameterization of integrated Ethernet interfaces (e.g. fiber-optic diagnostics and topology configuration). The PROFINET IO-Devices that support extended PROFINET diagnostics are configured in the Hardware Configuration in STEP 7. They are available in the hardware catalog and have additional ports e.g. interface modules as subslots in Slot 0.
Example: ET200S with and without PROFINET diagnostics
Fig. 01
The following IO-Controllers support the extended PROFINET-Diagnostics:
The following IO-Devices can use the extended PROFINET-Diagnostics:
Double AS-i master: 6GK1 411-2AB20
The PROFINET IO devices that support the extended PROFINET diagnostics can only be operated on PROFINET IO controllers that likewise support the extended PROFINET diagnostics.
There is a migration GSDML file for some of the PROFINET IO devices listed above for operating the PROFINET IO device on a PROFINET IO controller that does not support the extended PROFINET diagnostics.
Example:PN/PN coupler
Fig. 02
Note:The following applications provide a detailed description, including sample program, of the diagnostics options available in a PROFINET IO system.

According to new data presented at SABC, adding Avastin (which stops the growth of blood vessels that help tumors grow) did not improve a patient's survival.
Sadly, researchers have nothing extra to add to standard chemotherapy for early, triple-negative breast cancer, said Dr. David Cameron, professor of oncology at Edinburgh University in Scotland, who presented the data at the conference.
Just over a year ago, the FDA withdrew its approval for Avastin for treating breast cancer patients because a review of various studies showed Avastin was not shown to be safe and effective for that use in this type of cancer.
Avastin is still approved for treating certain types of colon, lung, kidney and brain cancer (glioblastoma multiforme).
