Bacon-Wrapped Cream Cheese Jalapenos
posted on: 2.07.2012
What You Need:
1 lb. of bacon, slices cut in half
12 jalapeno peppers
1 package of cream cheese
What To Do:
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees then wash and dry the peppers. Slice them in half and scoop out the seeds and white membranes. The seeds and membranes hold the spicy goodness so if you're not into spicy food, be sure to scrape them thoroughly.
2. Fill the peppers with cream cheese and wrap a half-slice of bacon around each one. I used a toothpick to hold them together while baking.
3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (or foil) and place a wire rack on top. This helps the bacon fat drain as it cooks. If you don't have wire racks, you can place the peppers directly onto the parchment paper. The bacon will just be extra greasy (and maybe not as crisp).
4. Bake for about 20-30 minutes until the bacon reaches your desired crispness. I like mine extra-crispy so I left it in the full 30 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes then enjoy!

23 August 2000
The commercial fishing season for rock lobster in the Gisborne area is being extended by a month to the end of September 2000, Minister of Fisheries Pete Hodgson said today.
"The extension to the fishing season is in response to bad weather in the Gisborne area that has prevented fishing for significant periods in winter," Mr Hodgson said. "Fishers are very concerned that their catches have been much lower than in previous years, putting them under significant economic pressure."
"Opening the season for an extra month in September will give commercial fishers a greater opportunity to catch rock lobster from the CRA 3 area when prices for lobster are high, without jeopardising the sustainability of the stock."
Mr Hodgson said fishing would continue to be restrained by the Total Allowable Commercial Catch for the year of 327 tonnes.
The CRA 3 fishing area extends from Gisborne to East Cape. The regular open season for the fishery is from 1 February to 30 April and 1 June to 31 August.

SAP Consultant Certification
Offering in cooperation with SAP University Alliances
In cooperation with SAP, we are proud to offer a full consultant certification for students. While at most economic schools, pupils have the opportunity to learn SAP and do a users' certification, the consultants' certification is a proof that the person holding it is capable of customizing the functionality of the systems.
The certificate is well know and will help in an ERP career.
The joint goal of the SAP / university cooperation is to not only qualify students in a theoretical manner but also to provide them with hands-on experience. Therefore, for the certification there is a specific system available for training.
To participate in the certification, you will have to attend 183.607 Advanced ERP Systems which is also offered by INSO. While attending Advanced ERP, you will receive all the information about the certification.
Alternatively, you can come to see Mr. Zeilinger or Prof. Grechenig during their office hours (see Staff section) for detailed information.
For the system access and the certification, SAP charges us a moderate price. Depending on the number of students that want to become certified, the price varies, but you can estimate total costs of 300 Euro. If you do not succeed in the first run, extra charges apply.

perfect little saw
By Guy at the little cape cod house
from Euclid, Ohio
About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
Best Uses
Comments about Chicago Electric Power Tools 4 in. Dry-Cut Handheld Tile Saw:
Bought this little monster for a backsplash install, have since used it for a flooring install. I'd it were to ever die, I'd be lost. Great for precision cutting that a wet table saw just can't do.
Comment on this review
Great saw.
By Ben
from Colorado Springs
About Me Professional
I installed 2 large tile jobs with this saw. GO and Spend a little more on a diamond blade for ceramic. Works as fast as a low end wet saw just dusty. Ran for hours. still good.

What a surprise
By MorgansRule
from Glendora, CA
I'm working on a very small project. The tiles are 20". So to purchase a decent cutter would have cost more than the project itself. All I needed to do was trim 7 1/2" off the edge of 3 of them and I didn't want to go through all the trouble of renting a saw. First stop was one of the local stores and found nothing. Harbor Freight just opened a new store literally right around the corner. Bought this little baby there. For some reason I bought another blade. Glad I did as it doesn't come with one. The saw worked flawlessly and made great cuts. There was some slight chipping if I pushed to hard. Other than that it's well worth the price.

from Miramar, FL.
I bought this saw because i wanted to give it a shot. First used it was surprised on the speed on it. Makes really good cuts. Be careful this little thing has some kick back to it. just cut slow and you will keep your fingers intact. This thing is a champ! This the steal in the the store. best tool i ever bought from them.

Awesome little saw
By Jack
from Methuen, MA
I tried this saw on inch and a half granite. I was really surprised it had the power to cut the granite. Fantastic little saw. I don't have to use my worm drive anymore . Thanks

Great tool for the job.
By Mamrocker
from SE Idaho
I bought this tool and a blade for less than the cost of renting a tile saw. It exceeded expectations. This small saw worked great for everything and was especially great for cutting out notches and heat vents. Don't force it, just let it go at its speed which is plenty quick. I bought the more expensive blade and am not disappointed. Now I can start thinkiing about doing more tile projects with my little saw.

The carbide wood blade doesn't fit
By BarryinSeneca
from Seneca, SC
I bought this saw because they listed under "Accessories you Need" the #68400 24-tooth carbide tipped blade. I needed a small saw for flooring which would run off my 800W inverter. This looked like just the ticket. Unfortunately, the company dummies recommended a blade with a 1/2" hole for this saw which has a 5/8" arbor. Because of the recommendation, I didn't doublecheck them. 2-hours wasted drive. Don't trust this site.I'm sure it will be fine for tiles.

The great object of life is sensation -- to feel that we exist, even though in pain. It is this 'craving void' which drives us to gaming -- to battle, to travel -- to intemperate, but keenly felt, pursuits of any description, whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment. [Lord Byron, letter, Sept. 6, 1813]
Hornkostel cites a Negro tribe that has a separate word for seeing, but employs a common term for hearing, tasting, smelling, and touching. [A.G. Engstrom, "Philological Quarterly," XXV, 1946]
Senses "mental faculties, sanity" is attested from 1560s. Sense of humor attested by 1783.

Yadkin County Farm Bureau met in June at the Yadkinville Farm Bureau office to honor and get to know the recipient of the Yadkin County Farm Bureau Agricultural Scholarship, Kayla Castevens of Hamptonville.
Farm Bureau's Agricultural Scholarship is awarded to two well qualified students each year, one from each high school district, that will be going on to a university or community college and will be pursuing a degree in an agriculture related field.
The scholarship has a total value of $4,000 to each student, it is awarded $1,000 per year for four years as long as the student continues to qualify and major in an ag related field. Forbush High School did not submit an applicant.
Kayla Castevens of Hamptonville and the daughter of Ken and Penny Castevens, was this year's recipient of Yadkin County Farm Bureau's Agriculture Scholarship. Kayla graduated from Starmount High School in June of 2012 and will start at NC A&T State University majoring in animal science in fall of 2012, and hopes to obtain a doctorate in veterinary medicine.
During high school Kayla was active in the Starmount FFA Chapter. She was selected to receive the Yadkin County Farm Bureau Agricultural Scholarship due to her passion and understanding of agriculture, involvement in organizations such as FFA, her success academically, being an example of a young leader in her school and community and her interest in pursuing a degree and career in agriculture.
Yadkin County Farm Bureau President Justin Somers wished Kayla the best of luck on her future endeavors and much success as she starts this next section of her life.
"Agriculture is a constantly changing industry, and we will need leaders on the cutting edge of their fields of expertise so that agriculture will continue to be the force that drives the state and national economy," Somers said. "Twenty percent of the American work force is employed in agriculture or agribusiness and 2010 total farm cash receipts in North Carolina totaled over $9.6 billion. It is an honor and privilege to award Kayla this scholarship, to aid her in obtaining her goals."

As part of a series, we are presenting riders' writing from log books located at each hut, tracking the adventures from creative meals to nearly missed spills.
Team Oracle
Day 1: 7/8/09 Bolam Pass
The eight amigos (seven California boys and one from Colorado) left the Starbucks at Purgatory around 8:25 a.m. The extra coffee was critical for the anticipated *** trail needed to be deposited to mark the way for the stragglers. Great climb up the mountain. Creek crossings were a surprise. We got to wash our shoes and the "Wizard" participated in a high-altitude baptism. Thought we had the hut at the Graysill mining site. If that's the hut we're in for a long ride. Made it to hut around 1:45 p.m. The Italians left the hut in great shape. The two cans of chili missing indicated their dinner was less than special. We started dinner early. "Kevlar" field-dressed a Marmot. We had pasta as a side dish.

In October 2008, Dwight Duncan, Ontario's finance minister, received a call from Reid Bigland, president and chief executive officer of Chrysler Canada. He wanted to meet.
"It was the last Friday in October," the former Windsor-Tecumseh MPP said Sunday, relaxed and talkative, wearing jeans, three days after retiring from a remarkable 25 years in politics. "I remember it very well."
Duncan met Bigland at Chrysler's world headquarters in Auburn Hills, Mich. Bigland dropped the bomb.
"We don't think we can make payroll in December," he said.
"My jaw dropped," recalled Duncan.
"They said if they don't get $2 billion from the federal and provincial governments, everything will shut down.
"I'm from Windsor. Chrysler is Windsor."
Flying back to Toronto that night, Duncan looked down at the lights in people's homes.
"If these poor people knew what I know," he remembered thinking, "they wouldn't be sitting comfortably in their homes."
The Great Recession had hit. A month earlier, U.S. financial services firm Lehman Brothers had gone bankrupt, the largest bankruptcy in American history. Corporate tax revenue in Ontario began to plummet.
The U.S. wouldn't let GM go down. That would devastate the U.S. economy. It was also a matter of pride; GM was the biggest corporation in the world, a symbol of U.S. industrial dominance. But the Americans were prepared to let Chrysler fall if they didn't get a satisfactory deal.
In Ontario, 400,000 jobs were directly related to the Detroit Three.
"There was no way I could see letting Chrysler go down," said Duncan.
It was a heck of a time to take on a heck of a job.
Being finance minister is a lonely job, mused Duncan.
"It's very isolating, even among your cabinet colleagues," he said. "You're always the guy who says no. There are a dozen, two dozen decisions every budget that are very unpopular. When there's good news, the premier delivers it. When there's bad news, the finance minister delivers it."
He took on the tough stuff - the HST, public sector wages, the deficit. Not everyone in the caucus agreed with him.
"When we decided to do the HST, we were very cognizant of the fact that there had never been a government that had brought in a value-added tax and gotten re-elected," he said.
He managed to begin implementing restraint, though many would say too little, too late. Still, he also avoided catastrophic cuts to services.
He accepts responsibility for contributing to the $11.9-billion deficit. He warns that the interest payments on the province's overall debt are a "ticking time bomb." Still, he defends his government's spending. Before the recession, expenditures never outpaced growth, he said. When the recession hit, the government's decision to embark on the largest stimulus spending in Ontario's history was "absolutely the right thing to do," he said, creating jobs for the unemployed and investing in infrastructure.
"I loved the job, even in the worst days - though there were mornings I didn't want to turn on the news," he said. "There are a lot of good things you can do, provide money for this project and that project."
Along with former Windsor West MPP Sandra Pupatello, Duncan did that like no other politician from Windsor - the Herb Gray Parkway, the University of Windsor medical and engineering schools, college and hospital expansions, the casino expansion and convention centre, the aquatic centre, underpasses on Howard Avenue and Walker Road. He literally helped change the face of this city.
And he'll keep pushing for a new acute care hospital, he vowed.
"I'm going to be very active in this hospital," he said. "I can push it. I can help raise money. I've got a bully pulpit, and I'm going to use it."
Building the hospital, engineering school and other projects keeps people working and contributes to future economic growth and diversification, he said. But there are still too many unemployed people, empty factories and declining neighbourhoods. There is no one big fix, he warned.
"We are going through a fundamental change. I don't know where we're going to end up. But this community is a lot different than it was 10 years ago, and 10 years from now, it's going to be a lot different."
People said Duncan was done after his bid for the party leadership in 1996 finished in a fiasco. He ended up supporting rival MPP Gerard Kennedy, whom Duncan's supporters despised. Furious, they accused him of selling his soul and turned their backs on him in disgust. A documentary on the convention, aired on national TV, showed him whimpering for his then-wife, Windsor lawyer Laura Joy, and begging for forgiveness.
(He now calls it all a "wonderful experience.")
Yet, in the end, he won five straight elections as MPP, became the second-longest serving finance minister in the province in the postwar period, and deputy premier in a Liberal government that won a historic three consecutive mandates. Counting two terms on city council before becoming an MPP, he has represented every corner of the city.
"What's that saying," he said, quoting Rudyard Kipling, "if you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat these two imposters just the same..."
At 54, Duncan says he's quitting on his own terms. I don't know if I believe that. He wasn't going to run in the last election. He changed his mind because the party was behind in the polls and he was finance minister - "first mate." He didn't want to let his party down. Then, a year into the term, Premier Dalton McGuinty suddenly quit. Duncan said he thought about finishing his term, but he believes governments have a life span of about eight years, and his is up.
"The people of Windsor-Tecumseh should have a person who's doing more than just putting in time until the next election, someone who wants to be a part of the future," he said.
"You fight like heck to get this job," he said, "but short of being defeated by voters, there's no easy way to get out."
Former Windsor-St. Clair MP Shaughnessy Cohen died in office, and former Windsor West MP Herb Gray was kicked out by his own party.
"To be able to say it's time to go, not having lost or been kicked out by my own party, I actually felt pretty good about it," he said.
He'll take home a severance of $248,500 plus a pension. It's not the gold-plated pension for MPs, but "compared to the average person, it's a good package," he said.
He lost the staff and the driver - and the midnight calls and stacks of briefings. He's watched a couple movies, been to dinner with a friend and leaves for Florida today.
"I've been out of cabinet for almost a week, and it's been wonderful," he said.
He starts a new job as an "adviser" at a top law firm on Bay Street March 1, but he'll return to Windsor on weekends.
"It's a darn good place to live," he said. "My best friends and family are all here."
He continues to campaign for federal Liberal leadership candidate Justin Trudeau. Jim Flaherty went from Ontario's finance minister to federal finance minister, I pointed out. Duncan chuckled.
"I've left the door open. But I said I don't know if I'll walk through that door."

In many games, my empire just gets way too big. If I find a problem that requires a certain stack of troops it can take 20 to 40 turns to get there. From one side to the other can take more than 60 turns. And these are WITH roads. Suggest implementing a "Gate" spell. Suggest two options:
I like this idea. Frogboy's version is sort of a really good one, but I also feel like there should be more stuff to make magic matter, and this is a good way to do that. I feel like it should be possible to make gates, although certainly only at a particularly advanced spellbook and level.
Seems to me, the easiest way to make this happen (by my perception) would be as follows:
Caster casts gate:
A gate is formed between caster's position and target tile, which must be on the casters land. That fits fluff easily because of the land rejuvenating. Then the gates exist. Sending units through costs some amount of mana. Anyone can use these gates. So it's not something you should go doing all the time, because you're spending a ton of mana to create something that your enemies could use to get straight into your territory, and it costs some massive amount of mana to create, and more to use.
Black-Knight, we get that you don't like teleporting, chill out. You don't need to worry so much about this particular implementation of teleportation spoiling things, because as long as it's properly implemented, establishing lots of gates should by both very costly, and strategically dangerous. Frogboys "you just sort o find them" model lacks this inherent limiter to their number, but the number could easily be limited directly, and their tactical viability is limited by random chance. They should still have a mana cost associated with use, I think. But maybe not! It'll need some playtesting to be sure.
Also, gates are not a sci-fi thing. They are very fantasy. They've been imported to sci-fi in recent years because of wormholes, but that's basically irrelevant.
One game that had non-game breaking magical transportation was Lords of Magic; all magical travel was a one way trip that required the units being transported to be in a specific building. Because the units had to get back to the "teleporter" it caused it to be a way of having a strategic reserve, rather than a way to take over the world with one army. Also for each of the structures (and there was never more than two on a map) you would only be able to move one stack per turn.
One structure was an "earth gateway" that would allow movement to any of the "great temples" (there was a max of eight) if you owned the temple. Units needed to be at full move to use the structure, the temple must have room in the garrison for them, and after arriving the units have no move.
The other the "teleportation shrine" which can work one of two way: you can move one set of garrisoned units to any valid location within a limited radius without expending move or there was a spell that would bring the units to the caster if the parties were capable of merging. I never got the second way to work, but the game said it could be done and had the spell for it.
THe problem I have with a high rate of movement for overland travel is that your vision needs to be extended too. The AI's units might as well materialize in front of your offensive unit if you can only see 4 and he can bring troops from up to 8 squares away, that just turns the whole tihng into luck and having stacks able to deal with any eventuality. Not much different than teleport in my mind.
And teleport is NOT just a sci-fi concept and repeating it over and over doesn't make it true. I get that you don't like it and slightly agree with you but that still doesn't make it sci-fi only.
What is needed is a system to build roads. That way you can travel through your "pacified" territories quickly but you cannot just zoom past the front lines. Perhaps a method of buildign roads from city to city but you must control both cities, that way you could get troops near the front lines but not actually into the frey in one turn.
I am just saying this worked for Alexander the Great, and he was considered pretty good at this warfare thing.
I'd rather see gates be something anyone can use and become strategically valuable.
I love this! portals that can be found and you don't know their destination like in HOMM, linking them to a tech adventure is a great idea that fits with elemental theme. There could be a mechanism to ensure portals to every island or non-reachable places are created. This would help the AI inmensely.
It would be great if there's a sorcery tech (with the "gate" adventure tech as prerequisite) to allow an improvement to be build on the portals, so you can redirect them. Then you can travel bewteen redirected portals with a new action button. It could have a mana upkeep or a cost to travel across it or both. It would be better without costs, because it will make cycling between portals easier, when there are more then 2.
Alternatively it could also be an upgrade for city levels, unlocked by a tech.
I posted it to provide ideas, not as a solution. Of course it would need to be modified to fit in Elemental, but it is one of the better systems that I have found.
Do you have any idea about how AI coding is done? Pathfinding is its own thing, but when you add in an extra dimension of a stack needing to examine
1) If it should move
2) Where it should move
3) Toward defense or toward attack
4) Toward which strategic points within 3) should it move?
5) To attack or defend within its local area movement reach or within its teleport movement reach?
6) How does it prioritize threats within its local area?
7) How does it prioritize threats within its teleport areas?
8) Is it move efficient to move a local army to a strategic point than to teleport? (which local army)
9) Is it more efficient to teleport a different army to a strategic point than this one? (which teleporting stack)
10) If not, does the strategic advantage outweigh the disadvantage?
That's just scratching the surface. Behind each of those subquestions is probably 100 different functions that each must be QA'd. And those are just the concerns I listed off the top of my head in 30 seconds. There's: your AI should know how to do this, and "you shouldn't design a program where an AI needs to do this." That's elementary computer science.
People that have never coded before should never speak about how easy it is or isn't for a computer to do something.
Personally, I think there's nothing wrong with strategic movespeed. Some more diversity would be nice.
Like I said, if the AI can't be programmed to use that spell (doesn't matter what spell it is) don't add it. It doesn't matter how much or little I know about programming. If the human uses something that the compueter doesn't, and this gives the human an overpowering advantage, then the AI is going to be easily beaten. Period. All posts about weak AI have supported this to some extent or another.
Adding additional (unecessary) spells are just going break the AI even further. We already have a teleport, why add a second teleport? I don't have a problem with adding spells, as long as the AI uses them as the human uses them & can provide a challenging game in so doing. If adding new spells is too difficult to program for the AI as you point out in 1 to 16, and the AI is unable to use them, then don't add the new spell. It's that simple.
By the way, I don't know who you're quoting: only the first sentence is mine and I stick by it 100% because it's 100% correct & spot-on.
Fair enough, except that most of your points are also true for regular movement, not just for teleport (where, when, prorities etc...)
I think that would be even more of a mess. If My game starts and I am close to a teleport I would just quit and restart: any time any superstack could pop out... I played all the M&M games the basic AOW game before the teleport revolution and I know how much that sucks!!
I agree completely! A little faster movement, not too much though, because by increasing movement the relationship between the area of vision and the movement would change: IE you could not see units before they reach you, which would make armies move "blindly" across the map. With higher speed should come higher vision, that's why I mentioned several times watchtowers that can be built anywhere except in enemy territory. Those watchtowers would also have a very tiny influence area around them which could help shaping the territory.
Being too fast would also spoil the sense of epic I was talking about. I would say that infantry move by3 cavalry by 4 and so on. The game should allow to build more units not to have a unit that can be everywhere. Strategy is mosttly about positioning, if you go too far you can't come back in time, period! Essential for multiplayer!
Fist time I saw Moon gates were in the Ultima games and then in Ultima online. There were a number of moon gates around the world. When you stepped in, your destination would depend on the phases of the two moons. You had to look at a map and figure out the phases required to take you to your desired location. Was kind of neat.
I was hoping he was joking... Well having the Moon in the name is very appropriate Brad, since teleport is a SCIENCE FICTION FEATURE NOT A FANTASY ONE!
I have been giving it some thought and here is how I think castable transportation should be changed:
- There is a one per faction structure that acts as a teleportation terminus.
- The low level teleport will take the caster and only the caster to the terminus.
- The high level teleport will allow the caster to bring a unit for the terminus to them.
- The cost of teleportation increases each time a unit is teleported.
- When a squad or other size larger than an individual is transported, it cost and increase to teleportation cost are the same as teleporting each member individually.
- To teleport, a unit must have full move and will lose all its move after teleporting.
- Casters that bring troops to themselves loose their move, preventing them from escaping. This means it you send a caster into enemy territory to bring in an army, you have to risk them.
- "Caster" refers to a unit with the ability to cast spell that is selected as an end point for travel, as strategic spells will be caster independant in 1.10.
- Optionally the terminus could be as structure that is only buildable on special tiles, in which case you would select one rather than just having the one.
This way teleportation is not as useful for jumping around the map, and is instead more of away to make moving on a large map easier.
However magic travel is done, it should leave the transported units without move so that enemies have at least one turn to counter.
Both science fiction and fantasy are about things that are not in the world as we know it. The diffrence is not in what they do, but how it is accomplished. Fantasy = magic, sci-fi = techonology.
In addition, it would probably be the case (and it should be!) that people couldn't use gates that were within the territory of someone else. Thus you could not get super stacks appearing on top of you.
You say that a lot, so let me point out that there are 2 types of science fiction: "hard "sci-fi and fantasy in space. Teleport is in the fantasy in space camp, and is a longtime staple in more traditional fantasy as well, mostly as gates and sometimes individual casters. So to sum up: teleport IS an accepted fantasy feature, both in Tolkien-esque worlds and fantasy-in-space, so please stop saying this over and over.
That said, you make a good case for excluding teleport in general and either excluding or heavily limiting gates. I'd kind of like to see them for both the 'wow' factor and the reduction in late-game cleanup tedium, but they do seem very abusable.
I'd love to see the introduction of paved roads (as an upgrade which could reduce movement cost to .25), but I'd hate to see it as another caravan tech. Caravans automatically creating roads is cool and reasonable in that there's now traffic so it creates a natural dirt path, but anything better should require investment and / or upkeep (as roads do - just check your neighborhood potholes). In other words, I'd love to see either an option or a special unit to upgrade existing roads for a cost in materials, and probably an upkeep cost in gold.
For that matter, I'm not clear on why a super-awesome magic empire can't create roads as civic works to wherever they want (so long as they keep them up)? I can see why it would be harder, slower, and cost more than improving an existing trail, though.
There's definitely a reason why the great empires throughout history were known for their awesome roads.
I would say it does not have to be useable by the AI to be acceptable in the game. What is needed is for it to not be so powerful (high cost and/or limitations) that no other tactic makes sense, and it needs to be counterable both by the AI and players.
And this reminds me of the Migh and Magic RPGs, a typical fantasy game... until in the endgame you find out some magical items from an ancient race are actually laser guns. It was a mighty WTF back then, but enjoyed it. Of course fans always heavily cirticixed the introduction of technology in the game...
I could also mention a novel series Darksword involving both genres for an epic surprise, too bad I ruined it, if you haven't read it.
So the point is, sometimes you can't even differentiate between both genres.
Also on an unrelated note, talking about realism in science fiction or fantasy theme is inane, unless you created the lore yourself. ANything can be explained in those settings, you're only making assumptions on how things work.
Black-Knight> Regarding portals appearing next to cities, it could be changed so they appear in neutral territory only. They won't show st the start, as they're tied to a tech requirement, you missed that part. I liked this idea a lot as I'm reading "Well of Darkness" right now, which features one of those magical gates.
Great point. So have a tech to upgrade roads, but not a caravan tech. Done!
I have another idea to go along with my previous 6, but this one takes some thought.
7. +1 movement in one's own territory. It makes sense because one should know his/her own backyard. I just worry about the balance when running or chasing an opposing army.
Make that a strategic spell that takes sufficent casting time, mana cost, and mana upkeep and it is good to go. Age of Wonders: Shadow Magic has a spell like that called "haste domain" that give all friendly units in your magical domain the benifet of the haste spell.
Black-Knight, your 'teleporting is not a fantasy thing' thing is purely a matter of taste; I love teleport-free Tolkien-land, but I also appreciate many other fantasy settings where movement mojo is a minor detail and/or a major plot element.
What we are really lacking here is the cosmology for the world of Elemental. There is no description of what magic in the game really is, much less how it differs from and/or relates to 'realistic' physics. Lacking any sort of meta-rules, it is pretty hard to make serious claims about what the best set of game rules ought to be. At least if you don't want to exclude everyone who plays to play as much or more than they play to win some zero-sum thing.
While this thread has clearly advanced, just for the record I'd like to say that I quoted the wrong post.
I want movespeed options like :
Turtle (current)
Slightly faster turtle (current + 50%)
Normal (double current)
Fast (3 times current)
WTF (4 times current)
Autowin (enables teleport)
Though perhaps we need new numbers and some people may complain about the honest naming of teleport mode.
I think the fact that it can take upwards of 40 turns to go from one end of the map to another is a good thing. It makes it much more difficult to go around with a single stack of death and steamroll everything in your path, and forces you to actually think about deploying your troops ahead of time. Given the build times of units (ranging from 10 turns on the low-end to 50+ turns on the high end) move speeds are perfectly in line with the other factors in this game.
I'd actually say the bigger problem is that (like far too many TBS games) that all battles in elemental take exactly one turn. This means there's basically no such thing as a delay tactic. In practice, this makes a scorched-earth strategy devastating. One poorly protected city can easily be taken down in a single turn, and razed the same turn.

In 2011, the Department of Homeland Security's Blue Campaign initiated a project to help law enforcement more effectively identify human trafficking victims, traffickers, and accomplices, in collaboration with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Human Smuggling and Trafficking Center.
In the aftermath of the devastation caused by severe weather in Moore, Okla., the support and generosity shown by the American people for those in need underscores our compassion and resilience as a nation. Unfortunately, cyber criminals and hackers often exploit tragedies and other high profile news stories, reminding us of the importance of staying safe online.
(Originally posted by FEMA) Yesterday evening a large tornado touched down near Moore, Oklahoma, leaving massive destruction in its path. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the families and communities affected by the tornadoes.
Every day, we see paramedics or firefighters, but many of us do not actually stop to think about what they do or thank them for their service until a crisis occurs. National EMS Week is the perfect opportunity to recognize and salute every man and women serving in emergency medical services for their tireless service.
As we celebrated National Police Week, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) honored the men and women of the law enforcement community and remembered those who have given their lives in the line of duty.
Yesterday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) held the Valor Memorial and Wreath Laying Ceremony at the Woodrow Wilson Plaza in Washington, D.C. The ceremony honored five Border Patrol agents who died in the line of duty during 2012 protecting the U.S., as well as the men and women of CBP and its legacy agencies who previously gave their lives while serving their country.

It is almost 1.5 months since the last status report, so I apologize for my tardiness.
1.5 weeks ago the pilot site was send for review by an internal team, to check whether it matches the MeeGo branding, etc. It also tested its readiness for release. The outcome of the review was that the site was not ready for release and lacked content. It also had some usability issues.
Since the review the development team has been working on the issues raised during the review, and hopefully the site will be in a condition for re-review this week. For those that are interested, access can be arranged to the pilot site.
There is a prototype drupal site that will be used to create the necessary themeing etc. This week the plan is to improve the quality of this site and set up access for additional testers.
The Drupal implementation work has started and a pilot site with some functionality is expected this week. The initial reference guide for the MeeGo API has been produced, mapping the MeeGo architectural services to lower-level APIs, to make the MeeGo API a conceptual whole. This needs theme-ing to match the rest of the site, this work has started, and is ongoing.
The wireframe design for the developer.meego.com site have been approved by the Maemo UI Lead. There was one comment: the 3rd level landing pages might be too heavy for continuous maintenance. The response to this comment is to use the pilot test site for checking the level of drupal experience required to edit content.
There is a draft information architecture available for review and feedback here, this has been bounced around between Nokia and the maintainers of the www.meego.com site. There will be wireframe designs for the top level of the hierarchy available for review soon (scheduled for FW28, but it's the holiday season).
One outcome of the discussion is that this site will lose its marketing focus and become more like other development sites, such as developer.android.com, so there will be less emphasis on attracting new developers.
We have a partner for the development of the developer.meego.com site, ActiveArk. In addition to ActiveArk, there is another company involved, Datafisher, that specialized in online pedagogical design. Both companies have a strong Drupal background, and during the selection process, both companies had clear ideas on how to differentiate from other developer sites.
So far this week we have had some meeting about the way of working (basecamp has been chosen as a project management tool), and are putting together the project team.
The current status is that Nokia has contacted several design agencies who are capable of creating web site design with additional material. The initial offers have been received, and Nokia is now choosing which subcontractor to use for this work.
The key criteria for choosing the subcontractor:
The deadline for the decision on the subcontractor will be FW22-23.

I think Nintendo's rule about not implementing 3D only features is stupid.
There is so much possible with the 3DS since it is the first mass market console with built in 3D. It's not like the PS3. So they can do a bunch of crazy 3D stuff, but it seems like they are backing away from 3D before even starting.

without having to render 2 images for the 3d effect, they could squeeze about twice the power out of it. So at some point i would want them to release non 3d games that make use of all that extra power left over from not doing 3d.

HAZARD — An indictment was returned Friday against a former employee of the Perry County Sheriff's Office who allegedly stole more than $500,000 in franchise taxes over a four-year period.
Lana Dean, 66, of Hazard, is facing a maximum of 20 years in prison on one count of abuse of the public trust over $100,000, according to the indictment.
A state audit released in 2008 revealed that well over $500,000 had been discovered missing from the tax accounts of the sheriff's office from 2002 to 2006. The indictment returned on Friday alleges that Dean, who formerly worked in the sheriff's tax collection office, had stolen approximately $590,000 "in franchise tax collections and appropriated the money for her own personal use."
Former state auditor Crit Luallen in 2008 called the scheme "one of the largest in the history of the State Auditor's Office."
The audit was eventually referred to the Kentucky Attorney General's Office, where an investigation into the missing money resulted in Friday's indictment. Greg Wolf with the AG's investigations unit is listed as the grand jury witness.
The case will now move to Perry Circuit Court, where the prosecution will be handled by Commonwealth's Attorney Teresa Reed.

The company linked to a deadly, nationwide outbreak of fungal meningitis announced Friday it has filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11.
"In papers filed with the court, the company said its goal is to provide a greater, quicker, fairer payout to its creditors than they could achieve through piecemeal litigation," New England Compounding Center spokesman Andy Paven said in a statement.
The statement added that the compounding center "seeks to establish a fund to compensate individuals and families affected" by the outbreak, which has been linked to 39 fatalities among the 620 cases tallied in 19 states as of Monday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Patients contracted fungal meningitis -- which results in inflammation of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord -- after their spines were injected with a contaminated, preservative-free steroid called methylprednisolone acetate, health officials have said. The steroid is used to treat pain and inflammation.
According to health agencies, the compounding center did not follow proper sterilization procedures and distributed its products without knowing whether they had passed sterility tests.
In addition, it distributed vials containing a steroid that was contaminated with "visible black particulate matter" later identified as fungus, according to a report from the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Pharmacy.
The company also announced the appointment of a chief restructuring officer, Keith D. Lowey, to establish the compensation fund.
"We want to assemble a substantial fund, and then distribute it fairly and efficiently to those who are entitled to relief," said Lowey, a financial consultant. Claims are to be addressed in federal bankruptcy court.
