There are numerous times in life when it's not appropriate to storm off to the mountains for adventure and stress relief. Work, family, and co-dependent penguins often keep us committed to life in one place. The climbing center at Vertical Edge provides all the challenge and fun of actual mountain climbing without the distance and dangers of a real rockface. Under the skilled tutelage of trained instructors, you'll get a lesson on basic climbing techniques, including the fine art of belaying another climber (to avoid such accidents as witnessed on playgrounds when itinerant sumo wrestlers attempt to see-saw with toddlers). After your lesson, you can stick around the massive facility and belay or climb for as long as your want, then return for any full additional day with equipment and admission included. With over 8,500 square feet of climbable surfaces to choose from, including a bouldering cave and 20 leadable routes, there's no shortage of learning opportunities available.
The sound of swooshing nets fills the rafters of the PNC Arena as the NCAA women's basketball tournament shuffles into the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight rounds, pinning the Raleigh Division's top remaining teams against each other in a do-or-die sprint toward the Final Four. Rather than getting pelted with constant shots while reclining in the backboards' cozy round hammocks, hoops fans can perch in 100-level seats to witness the on-court madness, which has already seen the 13th-seeded Marist Red Foxes bust brackets by ousting fourth-seeded Georgia in the opening round. The Elite Eight game on March 27 will crown a regional champion, sending them on a trip to the national semifinal in Denver, where the Kingston Region's own victor awaits the chance to play rock-paper-scissors for a coveted spot in the title game.
In 1947, the North Carolina Museum of Art made its initial acquisition, hauling in 139 works of European and American art purchased with state funds. In the 65 years since, the museum's collection has continued to balloon, and today features pieces that range from Egyptian funerary art to sculpture and vase paintings from Greece and Rome. The 164-acre campus surrounds visitors with creativity around every corner, including across the museum park, where more than a dozen works showcase inspirations that were culled from the natural world or extracted from the brains of scarecrows who donated their bodies to science.
During summer months, the Arts in the Museum Park festival series organizes week after week of music and film events. On the weekends, rather than sewing their socks together, siblings can get closer with Family Fun Saturdays. Free guided tours weave guests through the museum's halls daily. Visits can be capped off with a stop at the museum gift shop or at the elegant Iris restaurant, which dishes out contemporary American cuisine with regional and international twists.
Triangle Rock Club's state-of-the-art facility houses more than 9,000 square feet of expertly crafted terrain with upward of 100 routes. During small-size classes, drop-in sessions, and rock-climbing camps, novice and seasoned climbers scale freestanding boulders, dodging manmade obstacles while gripping the wall's slanted surface. Founded by two former Marines, Triangle Rock Club offers customers a large fitness center where guests can complement climbing's full-body workout with weights, kettlebells, squat racks, and spontaneous arm-wrestling matches. Other amenities include a climate-controlled interior and a lounge with WiFi and an HDTV.
Formed in 2010 by merging the region's best opera talent into a single company, the North Carolina Opera pairs an internationally acclaimed cast with a full orchestra in its engaging, modern rendition of Gounod's Faust. Director James Marvel's innovative staging sets the stage aflicker in original video projections, which incorporate English supertitles that immerse audiences in the meaning of the French libretto. Tenor Dimitri Pittas, who has sung key roles with the Vienna State Opera and Metropolitan Opera, plays the eponymous scholar who trades his soul for the promise of youth, riches, pleasure, and unlimited soda refills offered by the devious Mephistopheles, devilishly embodied by Lyric Opera Center alumnus Christian Van Horn. The impassioned music and tragic action swirl around Mary Dunleavy as poor maiden Marguerite, who'll sing with formidable sopranic power. Meymandi Concert Hall's orchestra-level seats and warm, clear acoustics throughout afford prime views and excellent ear-views of the sweeping symphonic action.

Big Time, from 1988, was Tom Waits' second live album, but it was his tenth release. Waits did a tour called Big Time which was taped and became a little known movie of the same name, and there was an album of the songs released. There are two new songs on the album, but all recordings of old songs are new. Falling Down and Strange Weather are the originals, though the latter was from the stage version of Frank's Wild Years. This is an amazing album, with beautiful versions of already perfect songs. An excerpt from Big Time's-
Strange Weather Will you take me across the Channel, London Bridge is falling down Strange, a woman tries to save What a man will try to drown And he's the rain that they predicted, Its the forecast every time The rose has died because you picked it And I believe that brandy's mine |

Finding new particles usually requires high energies -- that is why huge accelerators have been built, which can accelerate particles to almost the speed of light. But there are other creative ways of finding new particles: At the Vienna University of Technology, scientists presented a method to prove the existence of hypothetical "axions." These axions could accumulate around a black hole and extract energy from it. This process could emit gravity waves, which could then be measured.

Independence was a good show and a long day for some of the band. Flight issues made for an interesting day but eventually everyone arrived and the show commenced. Thanks to everyone who showed up and packed the house out. Juan DeVevo said "Lot of people showed up last night and im starting to get comments on the banjo during Spirit Wind. Maybe Mark will let me do a little Foggy Mountain Breakdown if people really start to beg for it." Chris Huffman said "Good show! Im glad you guys made it in time." Thanks Independence!!
Absolutely the best concert that I have ever attended! Every singer was at their best & every song was a spiritual event in itself. For example, during "Just Another Birthday", EVERY adult male in the rows near me had tears in their eyes & their wives had this profound look on their face as if saying "My husband DOES have a heart, he CAN cry & not care who sees him". Lindsay: You DO have a BEAUTIFUL voice & although I was not able to buy a CD last night to support you, I now regret it & recommend to everyone else who will be attending future events to get Lindsay's CD while you are there. Royal Tailor: WOW! What a performance, so much energy...oh to be young again. Casting Crowns & Matthew West: I wish that I had the money to send everyone in the world to one of your concerts because after attending there would be world peace & not one single child would go hungry.
My Bad...I forgot to mention that this was the Independence, MO event on March 22nd, 2012. To everyone out there: if a "Come To The Well" event is even remotely close to your city...please MAKE IT A PRIORITY to be there. I saw small children, tweens, teens, adults, gandparents, church youth groups, entire families,& father/daughter groups there. If you already have other plans...cancel them, this may well be one the best spiritual experiences of your life!
I agree with you Daniel. I am a firm believer that if everyone would open their hearts and listen "Crowns" or Matthew West, think about the message, then this world would see peace. If you listen to a "Crowns" cd, and do not get goosebumps and feel alive, then you have missed the message (just my thoughts)!!!!
The concert at Independence will be one that lives with me forever!!! So uplifting and rewarding to the soul, and spirit, I will be on the lookout for future events with Crowns and Matthew West nearby!!!
Thank you for a wonderful night of praise and worship at the Independence Event Center on March 22. You guys were absolutely awesome! Thank you for taking the time to meet your fans (us) after the show. That meant a lot to us. Through your music God speaks to my heart, especially Praise You in This Storm and Glorious Day. Lyndsay McCaul, Royal Tailor, and Matthew West were phenomenal also. Once again, thanks so much for the concert.
What an amazing worship experience! Thank you for coming to Kansas! (or close!)
I just wanted to express to everyone that this concert was the best!! I have been a "crowns" fan since the beginning, and seeing/hearing them in concert was the most uplifting experience that one could have. Their love for God, shows in each and every song they create. I cannot think of a better way to praise our Savior than with the music of crowns!!! Each song seems to speak to me, letting me know and understand that my plan is in His hands. I just want to take the time to say Thank You and God Bless you. If possible,I would travel with crowns on a weekly basis to hear their stories, praises, and music. God Bless!!!

She was standing on my front porch, right where I would find her. I rushed up and hugged her. I was so happy, although she was dead. Her body was like ash in my arms, crumbling and decayed. She was dead, but I was not afraid or repulsed. She took me up, like in a flying dream, but not a flying dream. We flew into space, into the vast darkness and pulsing light. I felt celestial wind in my face. It was exhilarating.
I asked, "Is there a heaven?"
She said yes.
"What's it like?"
Like this, she said, like this.
My mother died on April 13, 2001. Seven years, and this is how I remember her.
It was an attribute of her deep Christianity and her final, modest confusion that my mother believed she was dying on Easter, and it was, for her. But for the rest of us it was in the small hours before Good Friday, the dark night after Maundy Thursday, the day commemorating the Last Supper, when Jesus gave his disciples a new commandment to love one another as he had loved them.
Not too long ago I chanced upon a telling of what has become a bit of family lore, that my mother, a devoted Lutheran and good churchgoer, had never known that I was Buddhist. She would not have stood for that, the reasoning goes among my relatives, who have mistaken the strength of her faith for hardness.
What is true for me, what I remember, is what my mother said when I told her of my first encounter with my Buddhist teacher and the peace that I had found. What she said then, 15 years ago, was what today I recognize as the ultimate sanction a mother can give.
"Now I don't have to worry about you anymore."
It's not that she was flawless. She did a lot of things I know she wished she hadn't, a few things I wished she hadn't, and some of them, like marry my difficult dad, she did more than once.
Still, none of that stays.
What stays is something else, something that is replenished with every recollection, with every blink and heartbeat.
When my father died four years after mom, he had just begun to keep company with a sturdy and decent woman. I told her of my dream about my mom and she made it real.
"When you can remember it," she said, "it's not a dream. It's a visit."
My mom brought me right back home, to the front door, and then she said something.
"There's only one thing I want you to do."
What is it, I asked. I would have done anything she said. I was filled with immense joy and thankfulness.
"Love Jesus," my mother said.
I will, I said. I will.
Only later, upon waking, did I wonder. And then I stopped wondering.
I am sorry.
I am sorry that I am too often clever, unkind, rude, and critical. Too snide and quick. Sometimes when I am like this it causes others to hurt. Even when it inflicts no outright pain, it causes confusion, and that is the most chronic and enduring pain of all. So for your sake, for my mother's, and for all of us, I'm sorry.
I offer this reparation not because I am a Buddhist. Not because I was raised a Christian. I say this because I am my mother's daughter. Being my mother's daughter is the only way I can know who she might have been, and the only way you can know her is through me. This is how I keep her alive. This is how I keep peace. By loving as she asked me, as she showed me, as Jesus loved.
There are many names, but only one love.
Rest in peace, Mom. You don't have to worry about me anymore.

Lovely post. It helps on this night of my eight-year-old being constantly angry at me for being too angry too often during his short life. It reminds me that there is something underlying and bigger than that, even as we figure this out, too.

Dear Sister,
I have had visits from Mom this month, too--in fact, I felt her presence last night. It made me long for her, for Texas...and even for Aunt Nancy, who is so like her. I remember what Mom said to me about your Buddhism--that she was happy you had found something to comfort you. I miss her every day... - April 30, 2008 at 8:51 AM

I'm catching up on my feeds and after reading your post I felt compelled to reply. Today is my first mothers day without my mother. She crossed over on July 7th (07/07/07). Your post had me in tears...good ones and sad ones. Thank you.

The building of Logan County's new public library, located on Armory Drive in Russellville, is on schedule, and if all goes as planned, should be finished by Nov. 14, 2013.
"We are on schedule," said King Simpson, assistant library director. "Depending on additional days, which the contractor can ask for, we should be in the new library by the end of this year."
Simpson said he felt most of the bad weather was behind and further felt the project would be moving along hopefully without any hitch. The actually move may take a couple of weeks to a month after the building is complete. But Simpson said it will be no longer than they have to.
"Everybody is very excited, me included," said Simpson. "We have heard a lot of positive feedback from the community since the construction began, and I think the public is going to be really excited as well to see all the changes the new facility will have. I think they will like the larger and better areas, as well as the additional parking."
Simpson said there have not really been any significant delays since the construction project first began this year. "There have been the general delays and issues like with any project, but it has pretty much gone smoothly," said Simpson.
Redlee Construction out of Louisville is serving as the contractor for the $3.9 million project. The library board sold $2.9 million in bonds to begin, with the rest donated and raised by the library.
The new facility will have 14,503 square feet, which includes future expansion prospects up to 20,000 square feet if needed.
As far as flooding issues, which some critics have said would occur in the area the new facility is being built, Simpson said there have been none out of the ordinary.
"Back when there was a lot of rain, we had a small amount of water like anywhere," said Simpson, adding the contractors put in a drains and built up the area to keep flooding for happening. "The area where the building is should be fine," Simpson said.
The idea of building a new library has been in the works for several years, said library director Linda Kompanik. The board of trustees have been collecting funds and applying for grants for some time now, in hopes of having enough start-up money to begin.
The library received a $500,000 grant from the Carpenter Foundation to add to the already donated $200,000 from Tilly Perry, an anonymous donation of $50,000 from a retired teacher, $5,000 from library board president Obie VanCleave, and a $100 donation per month from another anonymous donor, along with donations from the public at large. The library has received two Carpenter Foundation grants. They were awarded a $100,000 grant to help purchase the property the new library is located on.
The library is a taxing district and receives funds each year from the citizenry of Logan County. In the 2011-2012 fiscal year the library brought in $1,026,324 in revenues.
"We have all worked for a long time on this project. This is not something we could have done without the community's support. I commend our forward thinking citizen board and I admire them for thinking this project through," said Kompanik, adding she doesn't think one can measure the importance of a library.
When the library is moved, some of the circulation material won't be making the trip. It will be material that isn't used very often. New material will take its place, along with new equipment, said Simpson.

Malta's Walter Fitzgerald, veteran of two wars, honored
Published Nov. 25, 2012
BALLSTON SPA — Walter B. Fitzgerald served in the U.S. Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Reserves for 33 years during World War II and the Vietnam War before retiring and serving his local community.
"I'm overwhelmed," Fitzgerald's daughter, Carol Dowen, said after her late father was honored by Saratoga County officials in a ceremony this past week. "I thought it was just going to be a small ceremony."
Dowen said the first thing her father taught her was the proper way to fold a flag.
"He was a quiet, gentle man, and all these people," Dowen waved her hand at the people attending her father's ceremony, "they meant the world to him."
Fitzgerald and his wife died within 10 weeks of one another, and their daughter said their neighbors rallied around them and the family while they were ill.
Fitzgerald served his country during World War II and the Vietnam War and retired as a chief warrant officer. After his service, he worked in the Southern Adirondack Library System until retiring in 1984. He was a communicant of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Ballston Spa and served on the Ballston Spa Central School District board of education.
He was also a devoted New York Yankees major league baseball fan.
Malta Supervisor Paul Sausville said he was Fitzgerald's neighbor for 30 years and told those gathered Tuesday about how Fitzgerald once helped him pump out his flooded basement. "He put a lot of stock in the value of family. He was always watchful and a good citizen of Malta," Sausville said.

Not since Dean Lombardi got his own quotation page has any person earned his or her own dedicated place on this site. Not even Terry Murray received this honor, although I had one all planned out two days before his anything but on the horizon firing…
What possessed me to write this? I didn't. It was the spirit of Jamie Kompon that brings you this prose. Jamie's career accomplishments speak for themselves just as the L.A. Kings' powerplay under his command and control does so each and every night. Today's 0 for 8 performance did a lot of talking.
Take a few minutes and appreciate Jamie Kompon like Surly & I have since he was rightfully promoted to powerplay coach.

Norman Rockwell's America
September 16, 2012 – January 6, 2013 // Jemison Galleries // $15 Click to Purchase tickets
This fall, the Birmingham Museum of Art will host Norman Rockwell's America, an in-depth look at the life and work of America's favorite illustrator. Rockwell's six-decade career coincided with one of the most eventful periods in American history, spanning four wars, the Great Depression, the space race, and the Civil Rights Movement, all vividly depicted in his work. The exhibition includes 52 original paintings and drawings, and all 323 Saturday Evening Post covers Rockwell created between 1916 and 1963. Organized by the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island, the exhibition premiered to critical and popular acclaim at London's Dulwich Picture Gallery in December 2010. Visitors to the exhibition will also enjoy a supplemental exhibition focusing on Norman Rockwell's work for The Coca-Cola Company, as well as an exhibition of illustrations from the BMA's permanent collection, including works by Frederic Remington, N. C. Wyeth, and Maxfield Parrish.
Norman Rockwell's America was organized by the National Museum of American Illustration in Newport, Rhode Island. Local presentation is made possible by Regions Bank. Additional support provided by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama, Vulcan Materials Company Foundation, the City of Birmingham, the Members and Corporate Partners of the Birmingham Museum of Art, the Alabama Tourism Department, the Alabama State Council on the Arts, and The Friends of Rockwell.
Please note that the last entrance into the exhibition is one hour before the Museum closes (4pm; 8pm on First Thursdays).
Dial in to Norman Rockwell's America
What do an astronaut, a congresswoman, a filmmaker, and a recent college graduate have in common? They are among the special guest speakers featured on the Museum's original audio tour for Norman Rockwell's America. A variety of voices engage Rockwell's iconic images from unique points of view, helping visitors to consider not only the works' historical contexts but also how they relate to today's world.
The audio tour is free and can be accessed from any cellular phone, smartphone, or internet-enabled device. We ask that visitors wishing to access the audio tour using the QR code scanner on their smartphones bring their own earbuds / headphones so as not to disturb other visitors. All other visitors should access the tour using the dial-up instructions posted throughout the gallery. Thank you.
Two tour options are available for groups of 10 or more:
"Norman Rockwell's America: Get the Picture" looks at how the artist used line, shape, color, form, and other techniques to build his compositions into American icons.
"Norman Rockwell's America: Then and Now" explores how artworks in the exhibition relate to contemporary world events.
One-hour group tours are scheduled Tuesday–Friday at 9am and 10am; other times may be arranged by appointment.
Have a large group? Complement the exhibition with guided visits of the Museum's collection!
Group tours are included with admission; call Nicholas McLaughlin at 205.328.7628 to book a tour for your school or group today.

August 26, 2012 – December 2, 2012 // bOhOrFOush gAllery// FREE
Taken from the Museum's permanent collection, Intimate Interiors presents portraits of intimate moments and spaces including places of religious worship, bedrooms, and entertaining. It is within these spaces that we are at our most comfortable, and oftentimes most vulnerable. The works showcased in this exhibition are alternatives to the racist images of blacks encountered daily in the global visual culture. As cultural critic bell hooks states: the image is not about good or bad, but about "transforming... creating alternatives, asking ourselves questions about what types of images subvert, pose critical alternatives, and transform our worldviews and move us away from dualistic thinking about good and bad." By exhibiting alternative images, we encourage dialogue about the similarities we all share while celebrating black cultural experiences.
This exhibition is made possible by the generous support of Cadence Bank.

View items...Arctic Beauty: Inuit Art from Canada
May 20, 2012 - January 20, 2013 // Native American Galleries // Free
This exhibition presents 87 works of art made by the Inuit people of Canada. Formerly known as Eskimo, the Inuit are descended from cultures that have inhabited the Arctic regions of Canada, the United States, Greenland, and Russia for over a thousand years.
Works in the exhibition reflect traditional Inuit ways of life and culture, particularly their close observation of Arctic animals, with whom they share the frozen environment. Although contemporary Inuit no longer rely solely on hunting for food, in the recent past, land and sea mammals provided not only a main source of food, but fur and skins for clothing, and sinews and bone for tools. A wide variety of animals and birds are represented in the exhibition, including bears, walrus, seals, muskoxen, wild hares, and loons.
There are also sculptures of people, families, hunters, fishermen, and an igloo with an interior scene. Some sculptures depict transformational figures, spirits, and shamans—religious practitioners who are responsible for maintaining the proper relationship and balance between the human community and spirits that inhabit and govern the natural world.
The works of sculpture and prints, created by men and women, date primarily from the second half of the 20th century. As modern culture has increasingly encroached on Inuit communities and ways of life, sculpture and print-making have emerged not only as a way to augment family resources, but to guard history, stories, beliefs, and life-ways, and transmit them to younger generations and the broader public.
Modern and contemporary Inuit art is sought after by collectors and museums, and is exhibited internationally. Artists in the installation include Pauta Saila (1916–2009), Lucy Tasseor (b. 1934), Barnabus Arnasungaaq (b. 1924), Karoo Ashevak (1940–1974), John Kavik (1897–1993), and Andy Miki (1918–1983), among many others. The exhibition, installed in the Museum's Native American gallery, is drawn from a single, internationally recognized, private collection in Alabama.

From the arrival of Spanish settlers in the mid-1500s to their forced move to reservations in the 19th century, the Navajo people have a long history of adapting their resources and practices to changes in their environment. The practice of weaving, in particular, has been an important part of Navajo identity since its introduction by their Pueblo neighbors in the 16th century. This historic art form has survived many changes in Navajo life. The Navajo people adapted the art of weaving, both in design and materials, in order to better suit their needs.
Woven Splendor showcases 17 rugs and five chief blankets from the Museum's permanent collection, dating from the late-19th to the mid-20th centuries. The chief blankets represent designs popular before American traders established trading posts as the main public outsource of Navajo textiles. These "blankets," worn by Navajo men and women, were also traded to neighboring tribes and Spanish settlers, who considered them symbols of high status. After the arrival of American traders, the chief blanket was replaced by the rug, which was highly desired by the American market on the East Coast. The variety of rugs shown in this exhibition depicts a small selection of the vast array of designs that the Navajo people created for their new Anglo-American customers.

KABUL: Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai called for NATO troops to leave Afghan villages after 16 civilians died in a shooting rampage by a US soldier, underscoring Afghan fury over the massacre and clouding US exit plans.
In a near-simultaneous statement, the Taleban said they were suspending nascent peace talks with the United States seen as a strong chance of ending the country's decade-long war, blaming "shaky, erratic and vague" US statements.
Karzai, in a statement from his office after meeting US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, said as a result of the weekend massacre, "international security forces have to be taken out of Afghan village outposts and return to (larger) bases."
The soldier accused of carrying out the shooting was based at a small special forces compound similar to others around the country which underpin NATO's counter-insurgency strategy ahead of a 2014 deadline for most Western combat forces to pull out.
Karzai said the incident had harmed relations between Afghanistan and the United States and said "all efforts have to be done to avoid such incident in the future," warning it also had hurt the trust Afghans had in foreign forces.
The killings in Kandahar province on Sunday have raised questions about Western strategy in Afghanistan and intensified calls for the withdrawal of foreign combat troops.
The Taleban statement — delivered in English as Panetta left the country — was another blow to NATO hopes of a negotiated settlement to the war.
US and Taleban negotiators were believed to have had preliminary contacts aimed at establishing an office for the Taleban in the Gulf state of Qatar to launch peace negotiations.
"The Islamic Emirate has decided to suspend all talks with Americans taking place in Qatar from (Thursday) onwards until the Americans clarify their stance on the issues concerned and until they show willingness in carrying out their promises instead of wasting time," the group said in a statement.
The Taleban also said talks with the government of Karzai's government were pointless and none had taken place.
Earlier on Thursday, a senior US commander defended moving the American soldier accused of the Kandahar village killings to a military detention center in Kuwait, saying it would help ensure a proper investigation and trial.
Furious Afghan civilians and members of parliament have demanded the staff sergeant be tried in Afghanistan over the shooting, one of the worst of its kind since US-backed Afghan forces toppled the Taleban in late 2001.
Panetta, in Kabul on a two-day visit to try to soothe Afghan anger, discussed the massacre with Karzai at his heavily guarded palace and faced demands from the Afghan leader that any trial be transparent.
"I assured him first and foremost that I shared his regrets about what took place. I again pledged to him that we are proceeding with a full investigation here and that we will bring the individual involved to justice. He accepted that," Panetta told reporters before leaving Afghanistan.
Tension has risen sharply since the killings and the burning of copies of the Qur'an at the main NATO base in the country last month, adding urgency to Panetta's visit.

I am done with Xbox LivePros: The only good thing about Xbox Live is that you can chat for free "for now" Cons: I have been on XBL for almost 10 yrs when it was just xbox and over the last few yrs things have really gone downhill. There are so many cheaters on live now you might as well go play PC. By the way that is where I am going. I really dislike that you have to pay $50 to watch Netflix that you're paying 8 dollars a month for REALLY MICROSOFT!!!!! The windows media interface does not work. I set it up on my gigabit switch and it lags out on startup this is more of a testament to the very cheap components in the xbox360 its self. If you ever have to call into the XBL hotline you better bring a good novel because you're going to be on hold for hours. My last big complaint is that Microsoft charges me $50 a year to use their service but when you ask them to do something about the cheaters or all the Glitching they say to you that it's not their servers you're playing on it's the game design company's server. SO THEN WHY AM I PAYING YOU $50 A YEAR TO PLAY?????? Other Thoughts: Do you remember when Microsoft made good products? They need to get past this arrogant streak they are on and get back to good customer service. Xbox Live and windows 8 how many disasters will they really be able to handle? Did you find this review helpful? |
Satisfaction in minutes.Pros: I got my key within minutes & was ready to go. Not only did it cost less than most other retailers, no wasted gas or time going to buy one. Cons: None Other Thoughts: This is the 2nd one I've bought Did you find this review helpful? |
Best Deal AnywherePros: Best bang for your buck here on Newegg. No one else comes close to the price when these go on sale. Enter the codes into your Xbox the same day of purchase. Digital codes to the email and on a printout was nice. Cons: 5 limited per customer. None really unless you want to complain about long codes to enter. Did you find this review helpful? |
We are LIVE againPros: email delivery...no trash to throw away, good price Cons: none Other Thoughts: Other people have stated that is took upto 2 days to receive that codes. It took mine THREE minutes! Yep, that's minutes folks. I am not sure if I bought at a non busy time or if Newegg has just speed up their online delivery services. When we buy in the future, I won't expect it to be as quick. And if it is, well that's just a bonus. But seriously, you can't go wrong with buying from Newegg. We looked around at stores and online and no one was cheaper than Newegg. Did you find this review helpful? |
12 month of ... well xbox live!Pros: 12 month of Xbox live service delivered to my e-mail. Cons: the ls Is and 1s look the same Did you find this review helpful? |
Works Great!Pros: -Code was delivered quickly and worked just fine Cons: -Xbox live gave me a bit of a hassle to re activate my account. Other Thoughts: Getting it digitally was a great idea. No trash to throw away after activating. Did you find this review helpful? |
BEST VALUE ANYWHERE! i did researchPros: It's xbox live that's cheaper than buying from Microsoft. WINNING! Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: Turn off your automatic renewal with Microsoft, you will thank me later. Did you find this review helpful? |
Slow deliveryPros: If you want to wait 1 or 2 days for something most would expect in minutes, then Newegg met their delivery obligation Cons: I spent the average price for a full year's membership (~$50 US) and chose Newegg because it is my favorite retailer. I bought this for my son expecting to get the digital code fairly quickly but finally after 20 hours I received the code. Don't believe that Newegg is like other online retailers when it comes to downloadable content - it may be hit or miss. Other Thoughts: Had I known that there would be this much delay, I would have bought this at a local retailer. Did you find this review helpful? |
PerfectPros: What can be wrong about a full year of XBL? Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |

This is why I suggested a spider diagram. It really is worth the effort to start with this. You can knock one up in a minute or two, with the points you wish to cover and it easily saves you that time later on, since you can be sure that each point is covered in a systematic way, without the need to keep re-reading your work.
It doesn't have to be colour-coded or anything, just a quick & dirty shorthand scribble with a line drawn around points that you wish to group together to form paragraphs.
BTW It's also a useful tool if you need to speak on some subject at short notice. You can quickly lay out the relevant points and their relationships, allowing you to deliver a cogent and succinct presentation, apparently off-the-cuff, with just a scrap of paper in your hand.

Paste your result in a note here in this thread, and you'll get great feedback, I guarantee. I, at least, and I'm sure others here, will be happy to help you.

I work with students to prepare them for other tests with similar essay sections. Some thoughts:
1. I'm not too sure about the GED, but most prompts accept equally arguments for, and against, the position. The key is to pick a side and argue for it vigorously and convincingly.
2. The best way to improve essay writing is (almost always) to write essays. Write one every night, if you can find the time. The best way to improve your language skills generally is to read good books. One of my students attributed a 100 point boost on his SAT score to reading
The Scarlet Letter
3. Carefully work through examples of graded essays. Why did each essay get the grade it did? What level of vocabulary and grammar is associated with each? What is the level of complexity of thought involved in each?
4. Since you have a few weeks, it might be a good idea to review your grammar, particularly where it overlaps with "good writing". There are lots of websites for this.
5. Use the broad format that DPW describes, but don't be wedded to the specifics. All of the following are better than the standard 3-idea format, in the correct context: 2 well-developed main ideas, 1 strong idea and 3 illustrative examples, and 1 strong idea split into three pieces and 1 example. The introduction and conclusion are essential, but writing them after you've written the rest of the essay is probably best, since you won't really be sure your ideas until you've written them on the page.

Also-- don't ever let your personal beliefs get in the way for a formulaic essay on standardized tests.
If the prompt was "burning coal is actually good for the environment" just agree with it and come up with two/three main points that agree with it. Nobody will ever connect you to the BS that goes on that page except through the passing score you get!
Side note: I got a crappy score on the writing portion of the GRE because I didn't like the prompt. Don't let that happen to you.

Without reading the info in Jack_Ian's links, a brief outline could take the place of his spider diagram. For an assignment like this one where you get the subject and have less than an hour to write it, you'll have to keep it simple.
I Introduction
II Main idea 1
A Subpoint 1
B Subpoint 2
III Main idea 2
A Subpoint 1
B Subpoint 2
IV Conclusion
Add main ideas and subpoints as necessary (but given the time alotted, you'll be hard pressed to do too much more). Include a thesis statement in the introduction that clearly states Main idea 1, Main idea 2, etc., and a corresponding statement in the conclusion.
Put simply: Tell them what you're going to tell them, Tell them, then Tell them what you told them.

It helps to know what the examiners are looking for.
I had never heard of the GED, so I looked it up.
Language Arts: Writing
Part I
The "Language Arts: Writing" test portion is divided into two parts, of which the first covers sentence structure, organization, usage, and mechanics. Test-takers read text from business, informational, and instructional publications and then correct, revise, or improve the text according to Edited American English standards (or equivalent standards in Spanish and French versions). Test-takers have 75 minutes to complete the 50 items in Part I.
Part II
This part of the "Language Arts: Writing" test requires the student to write an essay on an assigned topic in 45 minutes. Persons who finish Part I early may apply the remaining time to their essays. A passing essay must have well focused main points, clear organization, and specific development of ideas, and demonstrate the writer's control of sentence structure, punctuation, grammar, word choice, and spelling. There is no minimum word count.[citation needed] The essay should be long enough to develop the topic adequately. Assigned topics are always an opinion or perspective that does not require special knowledge, such as the influence of violent music on teenagers or the advantages and disadvantages of living without children. Essays need not be true or based in reality as long as they are developed around the assigned topic.
To help formulate your ideas before pouring them onto the page, use a
spider diagram
. Draw large "circles" gouping points that belong together and each "circle" will form a paragraph. This way, your essay will follow a definite structure and will not "jump around". This will also give you an idea of how much time you should allot to each paragraph, since you can estimate how long it would take to portray each of your ideas. Also, the diagram itself might convince your examiner that your thoughts were well-formed even if you were unable to complete the essay in time.
In addition, the tips
seem pretty good to me.
Good luck!

New Prestige Emblems....
Like (1)
where can i see the new prestige emblems?
yeah,but would rather of seen 10 diffrent ones,not just a diffrent roman numeral,looks like laziness to me
Are you sure those are the prestige emblems? Because there are ONLY 5 new prestiges coming out..
sorry the 1st five are confirmed.
there sh$t man there all the same i wanted the last one to be the one like the black ops final prestige the one with the scull that 1 is sick
well I think it is nice, sorry you don't like them.
Generic, 12 year old emblems.
Man im only on 6th prestige T_T. The new emblems are not that creative anyway. There better be something more.
dude, you got be saying that with sarcasm. HOT, NOT
lol how can u call any of them hot man i wont rate them even above 3
lol well I like the wings behind it.
Added 400 new ranks of 5 new Prestige levels in Modern Warfare 3 on PC in latest patch. Expect the same on consoles soon for everyone! #MW3
Those images are fake.
good caz the ones that r shown is just telling how many times the player got F*CKED
no they are definitely not. here's another website to prove it. http://www.mw3nation.com/
man these prestige lvls are sh*t
They are real. 'nough said
Where's your proof?
right here. http://www.mw3nation.com/
These emblems arent real, you are getting your information from an unreliable source. They are only adding 5 more prestige's why would there be 10 new prestige emblems?
they are real, the exact same ones the pc has, 5 prestiges extra now followed by a further 5 more
I think they're real... sadly because they look like sh$t! This is pure lazyness! How could any of this pass visual and graphic quality tests in the studio!?
C'mon... if you're going to add 5 or 10 new prestiges then please make the effort to create new ones! Not just hide a layer or two in Photoshop and add a roman text layer on top of everything!
I highly prefer Black Ops emblems. I never had a clue of their meanings and they have nothing do to with military badges/ribbons but at least most of them are nice. I also liked the ability we had to recreate them in the emblem editor provided.
But these new MW3 emblems suck... who made them anyway? Even their secretary could do a better job!
they look like crap i can't believe how lazy they are being.. get a graphic artist in there and make some new fresh designs it wont take more than a day because i know these took about 2 mins
It won't take long before some ppl do a 15th prestige hack to get them all. I bet they're trying now on P.C.
This is bullsh*t, i reset my stats cuz i got bored with thi game, now they are adding more prestiges? wtf, if they do this they better reset me back to 10th or something.
I thought those symbols were a wind up .. this just shows the contempt that IW and Activision have for their customers. They cant even be bothered to come up with new symbols !!
11th - Xbox Logo
12th - Halo Logo
13th - PS Logo with a Xbox Logo over it
14th - Bobby Kontick laughing
15th - Xbox for life logo
Yay, more skulls! They are soooo not overused and lame!
They couldn't have went with the CoD4 10th for old times or made a cool symbol without a skull?
I am tired of skulls.
Exactly the reason why MW2 I only went to 9th prestige and 14 on BOps.
Skulls are for emos. Overused and boring.
It would have been a nice addition if they gave us gold clans for going over 10th and if they didn't go full retard with the prestige emblems. Now it's just something to make ppl bored of the game on 10th buy elite / map packs.
