"ArenaNet's official Guild Wars 2 Twitter says this post is misinformed:
I'm sure Kyle did his best to get the information as quickly as possible which may have resulted in him acquiring it incorrectly. Remember that he said "the contract is still in the works" which is why I still had hope that he could've been wrong.
Thanks for providing the link to the official twitter post! I will wait to see if pre-purchase goes through or not this April 13th.
I don't know whos fault this is or not, but Best Buy's management needs to step up to the plate and have better communication throughout the company. Communication is a big deal.
I spent a good 30 minutes during lunch trying to buy the $150 CE edition from best buy before giving up and heading to gamestop. Not handling an AAA titles like this is a sign of really bad lines of communication within the company itself.
I don't know how many prepurchases you guys lost to gamestop in a single day.
What amazes me is the continueing uncertainty in what is and will be offered. NCSoft and Best Buy really both failed big time on this on.
From Mike O'Brien himself:
NCSoft made sure that Gamestop would be ready for the April 10th launch of pre-purchases (as they're getting the biggest stock of CEs) so they got the ball rolling with them ahead of time while Best Buy was put on the back burner. It's unfortunate that they were unable to get the Best Buy pre-purchases ready on time but since Gamestop was given the priority in North America people will most likely be purchasing the Collector's Edition from them instead of Best Buy.
The wiki provided by Stephane Lo Presti:
Now Best Buy was added as a participant of the pre-purchase program for Collector's Editions just yesterday! This tells me that the publisher was slow in making the deal with them and therefore the program would not make in time for April 10th.
As far as conflicting reports of Best Buy being an actual participant or not is nerve-wracking to me, as I was really wanting to buy the CE at my local Best Buy. But all I can do is wait for April 13th to hear of any new developments.
So Arena net is saying that Best Buy will participate in the prepurchase. Best Buy representative says they talked with the publisher and will not be doing prepurchase but will do preorders without any beta or items. Best Buy goes on to say you can preorder CE on 13 April and can preorder SE right now.
Though Best Buy did get into the game late for the CE this still does not explain why they were on list for prepurchase of SE for a couple weeks and still have do not have those available to sell as prepurchase unless they never intended to do prepurchase at all.
In his post Kyle seems to understand there is a difference in preorder and prepurchase, that prepurchase comes with bonus and states specifically they will not be doing any of the bonus items at all. From what I"ve seen said I wouldn't be surprised if Best Buy does a preorder of the CE on the 13th but not give any codes for beta access or bonuses.
Considering there will be no box prepurchase items and in the US only a code given to people who prepuchase, if they haven't been able to distribute these codes by now to stores electronically I doubt they plan on it at all. Maybe come Friday I'll be proven wrong but I still wonder, how was it the SE codes were not ready on the 10th?
The same can be said about Amazon who was also on the retailer list for pre-purchases of the SE at the same time as Best Buy. Only certain contacts from NCSoft or ArenaNet may know for sure; we can only assume why it took so long. I think I read somewhere that Amazon was having trouble incorporating the pre-purchasing aspect of the program into their system, but don't quote me on that.
I imagine the publisher worked more diligently to have the main distributor of North American pre-purchases (Gamestop) be ready by April 10th if it came down to a time crunch. Why ArenaNet member Stephane Lo Presti added Amazon and Best Buy to the retailer list before it was confirmed by the retailer is beyond me. And why they haven't recently updated the list to reflect Best Buy's refusal to acknowledge said list is another stumper.
I will also be crossing my fingers on April 13th, but I am seeing this glass as half-empty.
Hello all,
I understand there has been some conflicting information out there regarding what exactly we are offering in terms of Guild Wars 2 so I will do my best to clear that up.
We will be/are offering pre-orders for the physical versions of Guild Wars 2 without any promotions attached to them. You can pre-order them on BestBuy.com or in our stores. The physical standard edition pre-order is currently available and the physical Collector's Edition pre-order will be available on Friday, April 13th.
In addition, we will in fact be offering pre-purchase for the digital versions of Guild Wars 2, which is a correction to my previous post. Those will be available on BestBuy.com soon. Pre-purchasers will receive a single code for the Beta access, 3 day headstart access, and digital bonus content to be redeemed on the Guild Wars 2 website (more detailed instructions provided upon purchase).
I think some of the confusion may be coming from the terms pre-purchase vs. pre-order, as they mean different things. Pre-purchase is paying in full for the game before it releases. Pre-order is putting some form of collateral down, whether it is a credit card linked to a BestBuy.com order or $5 down on an in-store pre-order, to secure your copy when the game releases, at which point you make good on full amount of the game.
I apologize for the confusion and previous misinformation. I hope this helps you to better plan out your Guild Wars 2 release experience!
Thanks for clearing everything up Kyle. Can't wait, now I can use all my reward zone certificates and Best buy gift cards to pre purchase Guild Wars and get into all the Beta Weekends. I am a happy camper now
That is indeed awesome, Kyle. Thank you for keeping us posted.
I guess that means pre-purchase of the Collector's Edition is out of the question then since those don't come in digital form. Oh well, I guess the standard edition is better than nothing.
In order to ensure we have the digital version all set up, we have to take down the physical version pre-orders and the timing of when they will be available again is changing. That means it is possible that the Collector's Edition may not be available for pre-order on Friday and, as I'm sure some of you have noticed, the standard edition pre-order is already off of BestBuy.com.
The good news in this though is that we are pursuing attaching pre-order offers to the physical versions.
Also, I am told we could have the pre-orders for the digital versions on BestBuy.com as soon as today so keep an eye out!
Thanks again for those of you sticking with us here and I will continue to keep you informed as I hear more.

Inglemoor can't complete comeback against Ballard | Prep boys basketball
By MATT PHELPS
Bothell Reporter Regional Assistant Editor
February 6, 2013 · Updated 10:12 AM
The Inglemoor High School boys basketball team has become good at making comebacks this season. The team lost its first five games of the regular season but still managed to take second in the Crest division.
The Vikings fell far behind Ballard Tuesday during the first round of the KingCo tournament but were unable to complete the big comeback, losing 55-52 at home.
A slow second quarter saw Inglemoor score just five points and fall behind 27-14 by halftime. But the Vikings did not give up and came out fighting after the half, outscoring the Beavers 22-8 during the third quarter to claim the lead heading into the final frame of play.
The Viking defense had a tough time slowing down the Ballard offense during the final eight minutes of play, giving up 20 points during the fourth quarter.
Inglemoor was led by Chris Bryant with 19 points and Brendan Lauk with 10 points.
The loss puts the Vikings into the loser-out consolation bracket of the tournament with a game at 3 p.m. Friday at Juanita High School against Woodinville. The Vikings crushed the Falcons twice during the regular season, 79-46 on Jan. 4 and 65-37 on Feb. 1.

As in previous elections, The Herald recommends that voters study the measures and not rely on the campaign ads, which tend to be misleading or worse. One good way to assess the propositions is to look into the recommendations of various organizations, even those with whom we generally differ.
Would raise about $6 billion annually for five years for public schools and colleges and, to a lesser extent, public safety. Would raise state sales and use tax by a half of a percent for four years and increase state income tax on annual earnings over $250,000 for seven years.
The alternate is automatic and wholesale reductions of state aid to public education, already severely underfunded. YES
Establishes a two-year budget cycle for the Legislature, sets limits on state spending without corresponding cuts, allows governor to make unilateral spending cuts in emergencies, creates performance goals in state and local government, and imposes various other administrative changes.
This is so complex that few laypeople could decipher it. It is a solid example of the type of changes that should be handled by legislators, not the public. We recommend that you ABSTAIN.
Bars campaign contributions funded by union dues made by payroll deduction. Would allow only voluntary contributions from members who sign written authorizations annually.
While some public employee
Pay no attention to the ads in favor of this one. Though it purportedly would allow car insurance companies to offer discounts to drivers who have maintained insurance overage for years, it actually is an underhanded attempt by Mercury Insurance Co. to enable it to raise its rates in California. Virtually all the money in favor of 33 has come from Mercury officials. It won't save you money. NO
Repeals the death penalty in California and makes the maximum penalty imprisonment without possibility of parole. Many who traditionally have supported the death penalty agree it is time to end it because of the tremendous taxpayer cost for and the long delays between sentencing and execution. YES
Expands definition of human trafficking and increases penalties. It could be abused by overzealous prosecutors in simple prostitution cases but could strike a real blow against those who exploit children for profit. YES
Prevents life sentences for third time offenders convicted of relatively minor crimes. Continues to impose life sentence if third strike conviction involves firearms and serious or violent crime. Would eliminate unfair prosecutions and save prison system $90 million annually. Supported by many key prosecutors. YES
Requires labeling on food made from plants or animals with genetic material changed in specified ways.
Prohibits labeling or advertising such food, or other processed food, as "natural." Exempts foods that are: certified organic, unintentionally produced with genetically engineered material; made from animals fed or injected with genetically engineered material but not genetically engineered themselves or processed with or containing only small amounts of genetically engineered ingredients. There are flaws and loopholes in this measure, heavily opposed by food processors and distributors, but the issues can be overcome. People deserve to know what they're eating while the science is unsettled. YES
Like Prop. 30, it raises income taxes to provide more money to schools, but it isn't nearly as well crafted. If Proposition 38 passes by a bigger margin than Prop. 30, it would invalidate 30. NO
Requires multistate businesses to base their California income taxes on their actual sales in California rather than on a formula that benefits businesses with property and payrolls elsewhere. Eliminates an unintended loophole and sends a portion of the additional tax income to projects creating energy efficiency and related jobs in California. After early opposition, even some of the beneficiaries of the current system recognize the wisdom of this change. YES
Certifies the new state Senate districts created by a bi-partisan citizens redistricting commission. The new districts are a good thing, and there is no opposition. YES

I love the price of the Grono set but not the harsh light. This is a beautiful solution! It almost makes me want to learn to crochet. ;)

I like the use of crochet for this lamp. Note, however, that the tool for crochet is not referred to as a crochet "needle," but a crochet HOOK.

Early Morning Snowmobile Accident Leaves One Person Dead
By: Audra Streetman
Updated: March 7, 2013
The Whitley County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call at approximately 1:45 Wednesday morning about a snowmobile accident in a field near the 2000 block of West County Road 200 N.
WFFT learned two snowmobiles were traveling west-bound near County Road 150 W. One of the snowmobiles left the roadway and continued West through an open field. After traveling a few hundred yards, the snowmobile struck a wire fence enclosing a livestock pasture.
The driver of that snowmobile, 21 year old Justin Hinen of Columbia City, was pronounced dead on scene by emergency personnel. It appears Hinen died of blunt force trauma to the neck. An official autopsy will be conducted later today to determine the exact cause of death.

Thanks for rating this design!
A great idea for a business card concept that use a real world object, in this case playing cards, to help the card make an impact.
The concept and strong use of contrast would really work well to grab the attention of any prospective clients.

Gamo Extreme CO2 Air Rifle
The offender in most likely the top LEO in whatever town, an appointee of the mayor or council. I can't imagine an elected Sheriff doing something like this, although who knows, much stranger things have happened.
File a formal criminal complaint with the Sheriff if the offender is in the city, or with the PD if the offender is the Sheriff.
Otherwise a lawsuit, vigorously pursued, is next.
Curious ? Are the New York Sheriffs going to kowtow to this intimidation ? Or are they going to act like men with guts and sue for threats and harrassement against their efforts to enforce ONLY constitutional law ?
Shouldn't be too hard to a stop to this. Local officials who refuse to comply with State Law regarding imposing additional restrictions on Florida Resident's 2nd Amendment Rights with regards to where concealed carry is allowed and restrictions on shooting ranges already face the prospect of fines & jail time. I see no reason why new laws should be needed – just jail the policeman(en) and their respective supervisors and responsible local elected officials,slap them with the fines mandated by state law – and no problem – their firearms will be returned to their owners pronto.

I am a mobile hairdresser and have owned my yaris for over 6months. I love this car. It as loads of space for all my stuff. Its reliable and cheap to run. I fill the tank right up everytime I go to the petrol station. It lasts about 2 weeks, I use this car everyday and its really worked hard. But it copes well with me and its like my best friend. Only fault I would say is its sluggy up hills. But I have a 1 litre version with 5 doors. I also travel with a boot full of my hairdressing stuff.
Due to money shortages I sadly had to downgrade from my 1.4 2002 T3 Corolla. The replacement was a 2001 black Yaris with 65000 miles on the clock. I paid what I felt was a lot for it (£2600 after I got £400 knocked off the price), but then it is a much higher quality product than so many of its rivals.
In black and with a chrome grill with no scratches or dents it looks very smart. Alloys and a spoiler would complete it but I don't feel its worth spending the money.
Inside, there aren't any overly noticable rattles or squeaks. Everything feels very solid and good quality. I love the digital read outs from the dashboard. I bought a CD player for it and the sound from the speakers isn't bad. Space and comfort for 5 passengers is good for a supermini, helped by the sliding rear seats.
1.0 engine is excellent round town and gives between 43 and 52mpg depending on where and how it is driven. Acceleration isn't very good, and it is best kept below 60mph on longer journeys for best fuel economy, though it will do 70mph if you need it to.
Running costs are outstanding. Insurance cheap and petrol costs 10p per mile, which is very good considering today's fuel prices.
After 2500 miles there have been no problems, and I know of at least 6 other Yarises owned by family and friends that have never had a problem. I am pretty confident that I will have a trouble free experience until I can afford to upgrade again- most likely to another Toyota.
I have had this yaris for 5 years now, and overall it's been a success. Not one fault - the clutch started squeeking after about 25,000, and although the garage suggested replacing it, 12,000 miles later it still lives! The interior is good - well laid out with the mpg counter very handy and strangely addictive. If your careful in general driving then you can get around 60mpg - in the park with a 20mph speed limit, in fith gear I got 99.0mpg over a three mile stretch! Speakers are awful, and worth replacing if you like your music. Boot can be expanded by moving the back seats forward, though it is still very small. Being 6ft 5", I'm not the smallest driver but I just fit, remarkable for such a small car. The steering is fairly dull though, with other smaller cars much funner to drive.
Overall, a great buy and I recommend to anyone looking for a small second hand car.
I have now had this car for 5 years, bought just before its third birthday, during which time it has been ultra reliable, with no MoT failures.
The 1 lire engine lacks power, and whilst it will merrily doing 70mph on the motorway, accelerating after reducing speed for whatever reason is a touch lacking. Planning an overtaking move needs just that... planning, because it will not be accompished quickly.
The main failing has been the road-holding in the wet, which has been very unsettling. My wife and two sons, all accomplished drivers with a lot of experience under their hats, have had the odd 'hairy' moment when cornering in the rain. Compared to the other cars each of them drive, the Yaris' speed by comparison has to be kept very low indeed to avoid the front "washing-out", with the ensuing four-wheel drift heart-stopping. At this is at a respectably low speed that holds other traffic up. Tyres? Third set and plenty of tread, but maybe a more 'premium' name will be used next time if the car is kept that long.
50mpg is typical on a long run, never less than 45mpg, with 66mpg seen on one occasion along gentle A-roads. But more power and more secure handling are the main things missing, although more power with the present handling on offer is not really recommended..!
Order a brochure, find your nearest dealer or book a test drive
I have owned this car for almost 2 years, bought from a used dealer with 60k on and later found it was a ex rental car.... the insurance was cheap…
Ive had this car for one year now and so far has exeeded my expectations. The car is great at overtaking lorries on the motorway and handles very…

Fellows Find: Scholar studies playwright Tom Stoppard's wit
Bill Demastes of Louisiana State University spent June 2011 at the Ransom Center on a fellowship reviewing material from various collections, including the Tom Stoppard papers, for his forthcoming book, The Cambridge Introduction to Tom Stoppard. Demastes's fellowship was funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Research Endowment.
When playwright Tom Stoppard's name comes up in conversation, most people will recognize him (with a little help) as the author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and the (co)author of the award-winning movie Shakespeare in Love. People who follow live theater will recognize him as perhaps the most important (certainly the most…

Ann Romney, Breast Cancer Survivor, Spreads Word on Awareness
The Bloomfield Hills native not only has rallied for her husband Mitt Romney's presidential bid, but Ann Romney also has thrown her support behind breast cancer awareness.
While Ann Romney has taken to the presidential campaign trail to support her husband Mitt Romney, she also has rallied her efforts for another cause: breast cancer awareness.
Ann Romney, a native of Bloomfield Hills and a student at Cranbrook, is a breast cancer survivor.
In 2008, Ann Romney had surgery to remove a precancerous lump from her breast, according to the Boston Globe. Mitt Romney told CNN that Barack Obama, at the time the president-elect, called to offer his prayers to the Romney family.
So while Ann Romney has campaigned for her husband this month, including a stop in Bloomfield Township on Oct. 12, she also has focused her attention on breast cancer awareness.
Both Ann Romney and Michelle Obama wore pink dresses at the second presidential debate on Oct. 16, perhaps in a nod to Breast Cancer Awareness month.
On Saturday, Ann Romney took part in a breast cancer 5K walk/run in Orlando, FL, according to WPEC-TV. Earlier this month, she visited a cancer center in Florida.
"It was inspirational," Ann Romney told MySuncoast.com about her trip to the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa.
TELL US IN THE COMMENTS: Who are the breast cancer survivors who inspire you?

While I think it is commendable that Ann Romney is promoting Breast Cancer Awareness because early detection saves lives,. As one who has undergone 2 lumpectomies and then a bilateral mastectomy, I take umbrage with her being portrayed as a Breast Cancer Survivor for having a pre-cancerous lump removed. I am a 10 year Breast Cancer Survivor!
If her husband is elected and "Obamacare" is repealed than I would be denied medical insurance for a pre-existing condition! I think the Romney campaign is trying to garner support by using Ann for sympathy.
Amy (a true Breast Cancer Survivor)

Thanks for your umbrage. I used that as a reason to research Ann Romney's cancer. From what I found, she was diagnosed with a ductal carcinoma in situ, which is defined as a non invasive type of breast cancer. In addition to the lumbectomy, she also had radiation treatments. She obviously is under care to watch for recurrence or development of other cancer, and her tests continue to show that she is cancer free, although she does have increased risk of recurrence. If her intent was to heighten awareness about breast cancer in all its forms, not only has she done that but your offense to her being called a breast cancer survivor has certainly done that for me as well. As a family member of people who survived breast cancer, but died from lung, bone and other cancer, congratulations on being a 10 year survivor.

You are wrong. Go on line and read the bill. The" pre-existing' condition is shadowy to say the least and if you are over 50 Obamacare may limit the amount of treatment you receive. You may be voting for the wrong person for the wrong reason. Please stop getting your info from pun-dents on Talk shows and go and read the bill for yourself before you vote. To take umbrage with a person who has had so many health issues and has been a role model is just very small of you. Go and read the bill before you offer the rest of us advice

In Michigan, today, you can always buy coverage through Blue Cross with a pre-existing condition. Of course, they can charge you whatever they want, and for most, it's unaffordable. But, the Michigan House just passed a bill to change the non-profit status of Blue Cross, and they'll no longer be forced to accept everyone. When that happens - Obamacare is your only recourse. If it's repealed, you will not be able to find coverage in Michigan. If it stays, not only will you be able to buy coverage, but the insurance companies will be prevented from charging you more because of your health status, nor will they be able to drop you because you're costing them too much - all of which happens today.
Joyce Black has no idea what she's talking about. The "over 50 limiting treatment" comment is a veiled reference to the GOP "death panels", which has been proven over and over as the lie of the year.
If you are sick, are worried about getting sick, or care for someone that's sick - Obamacare is the best thing to ever happen to you. Whether you know it or not.
1:16 pm on Sunday, October 21, 2012
I agree with Amy.
I honestly would like to see her put more of a public focus on MS. She is a shining example of how treatments that have become available in the last 30 years have resulted in huge improvements in the day to day lives of those afflicted (treatments that all carry other health dangers). MS doesn't get anywhere near the studies, donationations or PR of other medical conditions. She is in a very unique position of being able to put a public face on MS.
2:38 pm on Sunday, October 21, 2012
I really hate to see when people imply that someone's situation doesn't matter as much or what they went through somehow doesn't count as much. You can't fault Ann Romney because she had early diagnosis and a successful surgery. I'm sure she was just as devastated and just as scared as any other women who hears that news. She WAS diagnosed, she HAD surgery, she SURVIVED. She is still someone's wife, mother, & daughter. It mattered to her family just as much. Belittling her "survival" defeats the overall good of what having a high profile woman out supporting the cause does. As women, we should be supporting each other and lifting each other up. Ann Romney is going to make a fine first lady.
Christine Orman
5:25 pm on Sunday, October 21, 2012
The you Rachel for eloquently saying what I was about to say. I applaud Ann for all she is doing. I believe she will make a fine first lady. And you are absolutely right, as woman we should be supportive to each other with out giving that support a quality level. I can't believe how vicious some people can be towards Ann Romney. Like when Ann R. spoke about working women, she was attacked by other women no less, because she's never worked a 'real job' in her life.

Honey, ive read lots of the bill, and lobbied the hill with patient advocacy groups and professionals. I know EXACTLY whats in the law for those with life threatening medical conditions. If obamacare is repealed, and you have a have a serious medical condition, and wind up in the private health insurance market, say through job loss or your employer deciding not to offer benefits, you will not be able to even purchase health insurance, at any cost, in this state when this blue cross thing goes through.

You've read the law, so i'm sure this "lie" will be familiar to you. I know more about the law than you EVER will. Which part of this would you say is "shadowy", there Annie?

And here's a link about the blue cross Overhaul, which will end their requirement to cover everyone. If obamacare gets repealed, and this goes away - those with prexisting conditions will be totally shut out of the private, individual insurance market.
Anything else you "think" you know about obamacare I can correct you on, or would you like to just call me a liar again"?
Joyce Black

The article you refer to has quite a bit of mis-leading info. First it is written by an Obamacare supporter from the AP...... and you say your such a well informed activist but you base your whole view a article in the newspaper.LOL Like I said enough is enough you believe what you want just stop using your scare tactics on others.

Uh huh. I forgot about the vast right wing media conspiracy. You've made me laugh out loud. Fact is, it has zero misleading information.
Fact: Blue Cross is currently the provider of last resort for those with pre-existing conditions, due to their tax exempt status. Fact. Blue Cross will no longer be required to offer coverage to those with pre-existing conditions if this bill, which has already passed the Senate, passes the Michigan House and is signed by the governor. Fact. If mandates in Obamacare go away, those with pre-existing conditions will not be able to buy coverage in this state - at any cost.
Have you tried to purchase medical coverage with pre-existing conditions? I have. My family is uninsurable in the individual market. If I were to lose my job - I'd have no coverage, and be quickly forced into bankruptcy. Millions are in the same position.
Let me guess. You're on Medicare, so you have NO IDEA what the real world insurance market is all about.

Joyce do you have anything of substance to add here? You keep saying read the bill and when someone says they have you accuse them of lying. "Read the bill" is the standard tea party response on this as if has some deep dark secret buried on pg 943... I suspect you haven't read the bill and are simply following the fox news talking points...

Medicare is (mostly) a successful program run by the people (the government) for the people. Its something we ALL pay into and not an entitlement. The insurance plans that our congress has, their retirement plans, that is an entitlement. Btw, the plans they use are single payer government based and somehow they don't feel we are good enough to have access to the gilded benefits they use.
hartland eagle
5:02 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
It's partially an entitlement.
Not everyone pays into Medicare. Any citizen qualifies at age 65, even if they've never paid a dime in Medicare tax. You pay a premium if you've never worked.
No one has paid into Medicare what their benefits actually cost. Medicare tax rates haven't kept pace with the increasing cost of health care, and there was zero increase when the massive new prescription drug benefit came into being.

Fox news talking points? Did you read any of heartlands many talking points? Oh boy. Over 2000 pages and you want me to do her homework. All I intended to do was to let the readers know that she was using scare tactics. Michigan and Detroit are in trouble because you keep electing the same people over and over and over again because you scare people with nonsense. Have a nice life. Enough!
3:42 pm on Monday, October 22, 2012
"Michigan and Detroit are in trouble because you keep electing the same people over and over and over again"?
So Governor Engler = Granholm = Snyder? Mayor Archer = Kilpatrick = Bing?

Bye Bye, Joyce. Typical response.
These facts are scary, Joyce. I provide facts and sources. You make sweeping statements, which are patently false - with no backup, and when challenged, your response is to call the other person a liar and run off. You're entitled to your own opinion, Joyce. Not your own facts.

I don't understand how can i change offset of my buffs and move, for example, to my left like the picture.
BuffHead2 is a complete redesign of the original BuffHead, allowing for a more advanced configuration and faster performance.
BuffHead adds buff and/or debuff indicators above the heads of players and NPCs, allowing you to keep track of active effects on multiple targets.
For AoE abilities however, BuffHead can only keep track of the effect on your current target. This means that indicators can only be shown on units you have targeted. Group members however can automatically have their indicators updated without the need to target them.
LibSlash is needed to use the slash commands.
LibAddonButton is needed to use the configuration button
BuffHead can be graphically configured. You can bring up the configuration window using
Settings can be restored to their default values using
/buffhead reset or /buffhead default
Layout settings can be restored to their default values using
/buffhead reset layout
If you have low FPS, the best performance settings are
Due to how sorting is handled, disabling sorting can actually decrease performance depending on how many effects there are.
These lists contain the name or ID of the ability's effect. The lists can be set globally under the general settings or individually for each unit type under the tracker settings.
The name of the ability's effect is not always exactly the same as the ability itself. To find out the name, mouse over the effect (buff/debuff) to see its tooltip and copy the name exactly as it is shown (case sensitive).
The effect cache can be shown by using the command
/buffhead cache
Caching will never be enabled by default and must be manually enabled after each login or interface reload. The cache will allow you to see and search through every effect that you have come across during your play session, allowing you to find the name or ID of a buff/debuff.
This is the interval between draw updates of the effect's duration. By default, the update is set to 1 second, which will always show an effect as having a duration of #.0. If changed to 0.5s, the duration will always be shown in 0.5s decrements.
When the effect's duration is less than x, the indicator will receive updates at a faster interval. If x is set to 0 (or priority updates are disabled), you will never see the 1/10th second updates, whereas if you set it to 60 (default maximum threshold), you will always see them.
This is the interval between draw updates of the effect's duration when the duration is less than the "Start priority updates" value.
This form of indicator compression can be used to compress different effects into one. The only limitation is that the effects must be within the same category (always show, buff or debuff). Advanced Compression can also be used to modify the icons for effects.
When adding effects, more than one can be added at once by using a comma, such as "1,2,3".
The name for the effect can be overridden to display a static name. If left blank, the name of the top-level indicator will be shown instead.
The icon for the effect can also be overridden. Two types of texture are supported. An existing ability icon can be used by entering a numeric value, or a custom texture can be used by entering a string.
For Black Orcs and Sword Master, the "Da Biggest!" / "Nature's Blade" problem can be fixed by doing this.
The look of indicators can be manually configured using the built-in layout editor which works the same as the interface's layout editor (except locking a frame will make it unmovable during the session). The layout manager can be accessed here which allows you to save, import and export layouts.
To configure a specific item, right click it and select properties.

Finally, the clouds are lifting. At last, my mood seems to be climbing up again having been really low over the past month or so. I have been irritable, grumpy with those I love and sleeping an incredible amount. I have also wondered, to be honest, if I was depressed and contemplated meeting a doctor and going onto anti-depressants. I used to be on them, and in fact, only came off in the early Summer after being on them for over twenty years. Because I am a manic depressive, I do have a very sensitive antenna as far as my moods are concerned so when my mood started turning on Sunday I was concerned lest it was a blip of happiness in a TV screen of darkness.
But, it appears to be settling in and staying. And that sense of energy and activity has helped me start to tackle the everyday problems around me, and that, my friends, is what continues to keep me going. My house is a mess; a maelstrom of books, animals, children and the detritus that each leaves. Given that I have had two and a half years blighted by eight months each year on 'Cancer leave', the house, naturally, has been neglected. The leaks and the urgent things have been done, but the stains on the plaster, the chips in the walls, the holes in the floorboards remain unplugged.
Time for that to change. I have the number of a builder, I have the number of someone to build cupboards, and I have even started trying to empty my glorious junk whirlpool of clutter and left overs of my previous days. It is slow; I freely admit that, but the stone has been nudged, and once the impetus begins, it does get harder to stop.
I have also signed up for a course writing fiction starting in May. I have never had much confidence in my prose before, and I don't think I 'do' characters and plotlines but I have always wanted, as you know, to write that book. I know now, after my experiences of the last two years, that if I don't start now, the opportunity may never come for, despite my good news, Cancer is a hard and implacable enemy daunted, it seems, by nothing.
It could always come back. But, until it does, I am going to get out there, create the house I have always wanted and start putting my dreams into action, right now, right here, today.

Hooray for the sunshine and the first glimmers of brightness. Make the most of it but don't be held hostage to having to be cheerful and doing everything right away.
About the writing now let me think ..... it was some years ago that a certain blogger came about my blog and gave me confidence in my writing skills. How can you not have confidence in your prose?! However, joining a group is great for the technicalities and encouragement. Go, girl go! - 2/26/2008 7:27 pm

Min, I'm cyclethymic/ they say boarder line bi polar, and I go through times like you've been through and a lot of times it even happens when things are going good.
Those irrational feelings of doom hit and I have to keep telling myself, "This will pass, feelings are transitory..."
I'm glad you are cycling back around, it is a breath of fresh air when that happens.
I don't do meds anymore either, been on too many that made me even more crazy, and the one that seemed to work, they doubled my dosage and then they made me crazy too. I may get on something this summer, but I can't go through the experimentation during the school term, it's just too much.

Hi, just passing through and read your blog. Hope things improve for you. I understand about being bipolar. I have PTSD among a few other things and going through stress AND dealing with another type of illness AND having to contend with thoughts is majorly hard. I wish you well.

SO glad to read this post.. I have been in a bit of a slump too lately, and wonder....
You remain in my prayers and in my heart.

I'm so glad to hear you are starting to "move" again. After the rollercoaster you have been on, one foot in front of the other, will certainly get you where you want to go. My husband has a saying he uses with the baseball teams he coaches, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time." Some projects must seem so big right now, but piece by piece they can be finished...even that book. When you write from your heart, your words are beautiful and moving. I know you have it in you. Be patient with yourself and stay in touch with what is going on inside; that above all else is so very important. Happy thoughts and prayers are always coming your way - 2/27/2008 6:04 pm
BEGIN TO WRITE THAT BOOK NOW...IT WILL BE A LITERARY BEST SELLER I'M CERTAIN. - 2/27/2008 11:20 pm

Dear Minerva...so nice to hear your lovely voice again!
I, for one would love to visit your "messy house"
I will never forget the time that my little sister, Gracey who had lost her husband from cancer when he was only 28 and Gracey was only 24, and she was left to raise her four little children.
Someone reported her to the Childrens' Aid because they said the she had a very messy house.
When the lady came to visit Gracey, she sat on the couch and looked and looked, seeing all of the good books hanging around and a bird singing in the cage with bird seed all over the floor and the big piano just overflowing with music books,and Gracey's violin hanging on the wall.
She sighed and told my sister. "My how could anyone complain about this. Your children are living in an absolute paradise. Books , birds music and love. Oh to be so lucky as them to have a mother like you!"
Ha! That lady looked at the "messy" house with the eyes of a child and saw only the good!
I would really like to sit in your messy house Minerva and enjoy it...especially with those naughty kittens and the children and that doggie of yours! And YOU!
When you write your books, I will be first in line to buy them!!!
Love Terry
PS Gracey's house was always filled with classical music or hymns playing on the stereo and the whole place smelled of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven! - 2/28/2008 11:30 pm

Hello, Minerva: I've been away for a bit, but wanted to drop by before I drop off to sleep myself here.
There is a certain satisfaction that comes with de-cluttering the house. A friend once told me he enjoyed this because it was something he had control over and he was left with a sense of accomplishment and contentment. Plus, "Spring cleaning" for a new life. All Warm Thoughts Sent Your Way, Minerva!!:) - 2/29/2008 5:00 am

When I was just a little girl my family lived in a tenement house where we were not allowed to even step on the grass in the tiny yard and we had no place to play. In those days my Dad was most often out of work but there was a brief period when we had an old car and I remember how grand it was for my brothers, my sister and I when we went for a ride in the countryside on Sundays. You can't imagine what it was like for us when Dad parked the car by the side of the road and let us climb out, free to jump and roll down the green hills of grass laughing until our sides hurt. It's one of my fondest memories bcause the absolute joy we felt in the freedom was like heaven to us.
I tell you this story because I've been thinking of you rolling down a hill of green grass laughing and feeling free from any expectations beyond the hill. Thee are always hills to climb but those with green grass to roll on are the best. - 3/02/2008 4:29 pm

Such a beautiful story Lyn!!
I can imagine our dear Minerva doing just that..rolling down the grassy hill with her three daughters and her students!!!..
How nicer could THAT be?
love Terry
God bless you Minerva! - 3/04/2008 2:49 am

I am sorry I've been away so long. I lost my mother to cancer on the 14th of February and for awhile I've barely had tme for Reconstitution let alone checking on my other stops in the world of blogs.
This is most excellent news. The world, you can gradually re-inhabit as you get used to breathing freely again. I am so happy for you. - 3/05/2008 4:24 pm
Memories from the corners of our minds that bring a smile can last long enough to chase away the clouds and make even a most difficult day seem brighter. It's a bit like waking up to smell the roses in the midst of a winter storm and somehow you can even smell the beautiful aroma that's therapy for the soul.
Dear sweet Minerva...I'm wishing you a day of memories filled with roses and smiles. - 3/07/2008 2:38 pm

Sounds like a GREAT Plan, Minerva...I know how things can get away from you when other more important things take precedence....I wish you ALL the good luck in the world with the house needs and especially Great Good Luck with writing'that book'..!

Dear Minerva...I hope that all is well with you. Maybe you have been on a bit of holiday,eh? I know that the schools here had their March break this week. The poor kids had nothing but a big pile of snow to face.They couldn't even find bare ground to get up a friendly game of marbles or find an open field to fly a kite or two! Oh they had the wind alright but no where to go! I can't ever remember having a March like this Minerva. It will be spring shortly and we are still covered in the white stuff!!
Take care dear friend. I miss hearing your voice...Love Terry - 3/18/2008 3:55 am
If I knocked on your door, would I find you at the top of a stepladder hanging curtains or painting the walls....or might you be dancing around the house to a favorite old song playing in every room?? Perhaps you are doing a little of both, but whichever it may be, stop long enough to step outside in the warm sunshine, smell the fragrance of spring and let the love that surrounds you find it's way into your heart today.

Hi again Minerva...If your nice friend Lynn would send some of that spring weather here, I surely would be grateful!
No warm sunshine here nor pleasant smell of the tulips, lilacs, or daffodils that usually are here about this time...nothing but cold air and icicles!!...Brrr......love Terry - 3/18/2008 8:58 pm
This comment is for Terry.
I don't know where in this big world you live but I do know that millions of folks here across the U.S.have seen enough snow and ice and cold winter weather for this year.
So to borrow a line from an old song, "Imagination is Funny, It Makes a Cloudy Day Sunny"... always works for me when I need to let some sunshine in. I know that's a simple answer but when I think of alternatives, it makes the sun shine for me. Maybe it can work for you. - 3/19/2008 5:17 am
- Terry said...
Ha!! you go me there Lynn!
When I was a little kid the Beatles were out and I always liked this song
"Here Comes The Sun"
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
and I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes...
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun,
and I say it's all right
It's all right
But it WILL be nice when the sun comes out again and stays for a while! How do you expect our darling Minerva to go rolling down grassy hills if the sun doesn't make the grass green??
I live in Southern Ontario Canada...11 miles from Niagara Falls...Brr....and 30 miles from Buffalo New York..even burrier!! - 3/19/2008 8:47 pm

I love your attitude, Minerva. I'm certain it's why you're able to lead your life today, for lesser people wouldn't have had anywhere near your drive.
Can't wait to see how you do in the writing course. Part of me thinks you could teach it! - 3/21/2008 12:11 am


text: I get it from secondary markets (craigslist, ebay, etc.), but from the team, really? $155 to start seems kind of steep. I know this will be the most special opening night in Kings history, but it is still a regular season game after all. I always knew on my budget I wouldn't be able to go to any playoff games, but I was holding out hope that I could experience at least some of the Stanley Cup euphoria at the banner raising on opening night..... well so much for that one too. Especially on the heels of the lockout where billionaires and millionaires are trying to squeeze every last penny out of each other, and when all is said an done, we get to foot the bill for the festivities and the rest of the season. Rant over. Have fun if you are one of the lucky 18,118.

Lore:People U
[edit] Sage Ugaridge (?b - ?d)
Sage of Emperor Uriel VI famous for saying, "Uriel V conquered Esroniet, but Uriel VI conquered the Elder Council".[1]
[edit] Baron Ulfe Gersen (?b - ?d)
Baron of Winterhold, married the sister of Emperor Uriel VI, Morihatha, and aided Uriel VI in wrestling power from the Elder Council.[1]
[edit] Ulfgar the Unending (?b - 3E 427)
Ulfgar the Unending was a Nord warrior from the Second Era. He and four companions embarked on a quest to find Sovngarde. However, his companions Nikulas, Erlendr, and Hunroor were betrayed by the wizard Grimkell, who turned them into stone pillars at Brodir Grove on Solstheim. They were avenged by Ulfgar, who killed the wizard. Five hundred years later, Ulfgar was somehow still alive, and still searching for Sovngarde. In 3E 427, he met the Nerevarine, who agreed to help him find the Nordic paradise. Upon investigating, the Nerevarine informed the ancient Nord that the only way to reach Sovngarde is to die an honorable death in combat. Ulfgar challenged the Nerevarine, hoping to meet such a fate. The Nerevarine accepted his challenge, and the two engaged in mortal combat. In the end, a fourth pillar appeared at Brodir Grove, and Ulfgar met his old friends in Sovngarde. For more information, see the lore article.
[edit] Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak (?b - ?d)
Ulfric Stormcloak is known as the rebellious Jarl of Windhelm who started the uprising against Imperial rule known as the Stormcloak Rebellion. An incredibly divisive and controversial figure, Ulfric brought the Empire to its knees and pitted Nord against Nord in a bid for religious freedom and political independence for Skyrim. For historical information on Ulfric, see the lore article.
[edit] Umaril the Unfeathered (?b - 3E 433)
Umaril the Unfeathered was an Ayleid sorcerer-king who once ruled Tamriel and enslaved the human population. Umaril was a "half-Elf", born of an Ayleid mother and a divine father. His alliance with Meridia granted him immortality: upon death, his spiritual form would live on and inevitably return. Thus, Umaril would "never know death". Umaril was similar to Meridia's Daedric servants, the Aurorans, though much larger. He favored "ruin-from-afar", preferring to send minions to attack and weaken his foes before he would risk direct combat.
Umaril was defeated by Pelinal Whitestrake at the start of the First Era during the human uprising against the Ayleids, their "Slavemasters", and the fall of the White Gold Tower. While Umaril escaped death, he was cast adrift in the "waters of Oblivion", and many thousands of years passed before he could return to Mundus. His return at the end of the Third Era was to seek vengeance upon the Divines who had brought about his fall. Aurorans under his command desecrated the chapel of Dibella in Anvil, and later the chapel of Mara in Bravil. He was finally defeated by the Divine Crusader before his plans could come to fruition.[2]
[edit] The Underking (?b - ?d)
The Underking is a title of uncertain origin that has been attached to a number of supernatural beings throughout history. Individuals who bear this moniker include:
- King Wulfharth (Ysmir), avatar of Shor, who fought the Tribunal at Red Mountain, was an ally of General Talos (then advisor of his son, Pelagius I) and lived and died three times.
- Zurin Arctus, who either betrayed or was betrayed by his master, Emperor Tiber Septim. He also destroyed Numidium twice.
The controversy on the identity stems from the fact that although most sources call Arctus the Underking, there are some sources, such as The Arcturian Heresy, that call Wulfharth the Underking. For more information on the two, see their respective Lore articles.
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim I (?b - 3E 64)
Son of Empress Kintyra, Uriel I became the fourth Emperor of Tamriel after his mother's death in 3E 48. Uriel was the first of several emperors to use the name Uriel. He was the great lawmaker of the Septim Dynasty, and a promoter of independent organizations and guilds. The Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild increased in prominence throughout Tamriel during his reign. His son Uriel Septim IIassumed the throne upon his death.[3] The level of Tamrielic unity he fostered would not be seen again until the days of Emperor Pelagius Septim IV.[1]
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim II (?b - 3E 82)
Uriel Septim II became the fifth Emperor of Tamriel after the death of Uriel I in 3E 64. Tragically, the rule of Uriel II was cursed with blights, plagues, and insurrections the likes of which wouldn't be seen again until the reign of his grandson Emperor Antiochus. His tenderheartedness inherited from his father did not serve Tamriel well, and little justice was done. Uriel II died in 3E 82 after 18 years of rule and was succeeded by his son, Pelagius II, to whom he left many problems due to his poor financial and judicial management.[3] He was a character in the popular historical fiction The Wolf Queen.
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim III (Uriel Mantiarco) (3E 97- 3E 127)
Uriel III is the first cousin of Empress Kintyra II and son of Queen Potema of Solitude. Uriel III accused Kintyra of being a bastard, alluding to the famous decadence of the Imperial City during her father's reign. When this accusation failed to stop her coronation, Uriel bought the support of several disgruntled kings of High Rock, Skyrim, and Morrowind, and, with Queen Potema's assistance, coordinated three attacks on the Septim Empire. The first attack occurred in the Iliac Bay that separates High Rock and Hammerfell. Kintyra II's entourage was destroyed and the Empress was taken captive. Uriel III later killed Kintyra II in 3E 114.[3]
Uriel III was eventually proclaimed Emperor of Tamriel in 3E 121. Empress Kintyra II later died in captivity. In the third major and final attack against the Imperial City itself was relatively quick taking only a fortnight to secure.[3] He named himself Uriel Septim III, even though his true name was Uriel Mantiarco from his father. Uriel III was captured at the Battle of Ichidag in Hammerfell in 3E 127. En route to his trial in the Imperial City, a mob overtook his carriage and burned him alive within it.[4] In Skyrim during the late Third Era, there was an strong underground movement called the Hörme which believed Potema and her deposed son were the last of Tiber Septim's true blood and under that principle led raids against Imperial interests in the province.[5] More details of his life can be found in Biography of the Wolf Queen. Also, he was a character in the popular historical fiction The Wolf Queen.
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim IV (Uriel Lariat) (?b - 3E 247)
Uriel Lariat, child of Empress Katariah and her Imperial consort, left Wayrest in 3E 202 to reign as Uriel IV upon the death of his half-brother Cassynder. Legally, Uriel IV was a Septim: Cassynder Septim had adopted him into the family, when he had become King of Wayrest. Nevertheless, to the Council and the people of Tamriel, he was a bastard child of Empress Katariah. Uriel did not possess the dynamism of his mother, and his long forty-three year reign was a hotbed of sedition.[4] Uriel IV's reign was a difficult and long one. Few of the Elder Council could be persuaded to accept him fully as a blood relation of Tiber. The Council had assumed much responsibility during Katariah I's long reign and Cassynder I's short reign, and a strong-willed alien monarch like Uriel IV found it impossible to hold their unswerving fealty. Time and time again, the Council and Emperor were at odds; and time and time again, the Council won the battles. Since the days of Pelagius II, the Elder Council had consisted of the wealthiest men and women in the Empire, and the power they wielded was overpowering.[6] Uriel IV died in 3E 247 with the throne going to a cousin more closely related to Tiber Septim, his cousin Cephorus II.[6][7] During his reign in 3E 246, the Elder Coundil, in an attempt to clear up some questions of property rights in Skyrim and discourage absent and foreign landlords, decreed that any man without a liege who occupied a castle for more than three months would be granted the rights and titles of that estate.[8]
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim V (?b - 3E 290)
Uriel V was crowned Emperor in 3E 268 and turned opinion back toward the potential power of the Empire. Turning the attention of Tamriel away from internal strife, Uriel V embarked on a series of invasions.[6] In 3E 271, he conquered Roscrea (which would remain under the Emperor's direct control until the late Third Era, when it was annexed by Solitude.[5] He is said to have been influenced in these early years by the Psijic Order.[9] In 3E 276, Cathnoquey is conquered; in 3E 279 Yneslea; and in 3E 284 Esroniet was conquered. In 3E 288, Uriel V invaded Akavir, which was ultimately a failure. He was killed in Akavir in 3E 290 on the battlefield of Ionith. Nevertheless, Uriel V holds a reputation second only to Tiber Septim as the great warrior emperor of Tamriel.[6] Uriel V was succeeded by his son, Uriel VI.[1] Despite his ultimate failure, his many successes along the way earned him a reputation as a military genius.[10] He employed a battlemage named Hethoth who fought in Akavir, though he was never formally appointed as Imperial Battlemage.[11] Details of his defeat in Akavir can be found in Disaster at Ionith.
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim VI (3E 285 - 3E 320)
Uriel VI was crowned when his father, Uriel V, was killed in Akavir on the battlefield of Ionith in 3E 290 when Uriel VI was but five years old. In fact, Uriel VI was born only shortly before his father left for Akavir. Uriel V's only other progeny, by a different woman, were the twins Morihatha and Eloisa, who had been born a month after Uriel V left. The consort Thonica as the boy's mother was given a restricted Regency until Uriel VI reached maturity. The Elder Council retained the real power, as they had ever since the days of Katariah I. The Council so enjoyed its unlimited and unrestricted freedom to make laws (and profits), Uriel VI was not given full license to rule until 3E 307, when he was 22 years old. He had been slowly assuming positions of responsibility for years, but both the Council and his mother, who enjoyed even her limited regency, were loath to give him reign. By the time he came to the throne, the mechanisms of government gave him little power, but the power to veto.[1]
Uriel VI's power to veto was regularly exercised and by 3E 313 he could boast with conviction that he truly did rule Tamriel. He utilized defunct spy networks and guard units to bully and coerce the difficult members of the Elder Council. His sister was his usual ally, after her marriage to Baron Ulfe Gersen of Winterhold brought her considerable wealth and influence. Uriel VI died in 3E 320 when he fell from his horse and could not be saved by the finest Imperial healers. His beloved sister Morihatha took the throne.[1]
[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim VII (3E 346 - 3E 433)
Uriel Septim VII was the reigning emperor during 3E 368 – 433. He was the son of Pelagius IV and was the twenty-first emperor of the Septim Dynasty. During his rule he had three legitimate sons to Empress Caula Voria: Crown Prince Geldall, Prince Enman and Prince Ebel.
When Pelagius IV died in 3E 368 after an astonishing twenty-nine year reign, Tamriel was closer to unity than it had been since the days of Uriel I. Uriel Septim VII, son of Pelagius IV, succeeded him. He had the diligence of his grand-aunt Morihatha, the political skill of his grand-uncle Uriel VI, and the military prowess of his great-grandfather Uriel V. For sixty-five years he reigned and brought justice and order to Tamriel.

Lairy wrote:Very new to knitting --- have only been doing it for a couple of years -- after my girlfriend and I taught ourselves how to knit. I immediately jumped on the bandwagon for the crochet as I have been doing that since I can remember! I thought the KAL would be a good way to reinforce what I already know and do some new stuff too!
Now here is the question I have when reading the pattern -- "Rep last 2 rows for pat until Block measures 9½" [24.5 cm], ending with a 2nd row of pat." I am having trouble reading this section. I know "pat" means pattern --- but what does it mean to repeat for pattern, and what does it mean to end with a 2nd row of pattern? Or Ending with 2 rows of pattern does that mean 2 rows of knit or 2 rows of the K1below row?! Or simply ending the square with the K1 below row?
Any help for this knitting newbie would be greatly appreciated!
It means that you repeat those 2 rows over and over again, until your knitting length is 9 1/2"
When your piece measures to that length, make sure your last row is Row 2. Then, bind off.

I am pleased to report that this fall the W.T. Hoag Educational Center continues to be at full capacity for another school year. Over the summer months, the building received a face lift with the replacement of windows, concrete work and restroom being re-configured, now meeting ADA code.
The Lake Shore Community Education office loves the new location and is easily accessible to our community members. If you need to register for a class, have a question or wish to suggest a new offering, stop by and see us. The District Copy Center has also been moved from the SHS basement.
The building will continue to house the following programs for the 2012-13 year. Universal Pre-Kindergarten offered through the Southtowns YMCA program continues to teach the necessary academic, social and emotional skills needed to ensure a successful transition to kindergarten. Last year, the YMCA expanded their educational program to include a before and after school program. The Wrap Around Program offers developmentally appropriate learning opportunities to enrich and expand the regular program offered by the YMCA.
The Buffalo Hearing and Speech Center moved a portion of their educational program to the Hoag Educational Center. Buffalo Hearing and Speech occupies eight classrooms. The goal of the Buffalo Hearing & Speech Center is to improve the quality of life for adults, children and infants with communication disorders by delivering cutting edge diagnosis and treatment of hearing and speech impairments and related special education services.
The Boys and Girls Club of Lake Shore is alive and thriving. The organization leases three classrooms, as well as utilizing the gymnasium and cafeteria to facilitate this outstanding after school program. The Boys & Girls Club is a not for profit organization that provides diversified activities that meet the interests of all youth.
The Lake Shore Central School District Family Support Center offices and program space is located at the W.T. Hoag Educational Center. The mission of the center continues to assist Lake Shore families, students and individuals by increasing the accessibility and acceptability of prevention and intervention services.
The Adult and Community Education Division of Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES moved the Adult Education LPN program to the Hoag Annex last spring. One class graduated in the summer and a new class recently commenced. The Adult and Community Education Division offers Career Training Programs (Licensed Practical Nursing, Commercial Driver's License and other Vocational Training Programs), Business and Industry Trainings, LPN Program, Literacy Programs and Pathways to Success throughout Chautauqua and Southern Erie County.
The District Special Education offices moved last fall from the Hoag Annex to the W.T. Hoag Educational Center.
So rest assured, the building continues to be at full capacity.
If you have any questions or concerns about the happenings at the W. T. Hoag Educational Center, please contact me at 926-2210 or email@example.com

Punch Shots: Penn State Nittany Lions need to keep Bill O'Brien in their pride
I was tempted to write something about the Eagles, but I think we can just agree they're terrible and move on with our mornings.
Instead of talking about a coach that needs to be fired, let's talk about a coach that needs to be retained at all costs.
A few hours northwest of here, Bill O'Brien has the Nittany Lions amid a winning season. Normally, Penn State fans wouldn't expect anything less, but given the turmoil that's enveloped the program over the last year, it's nearly a herculean feat.
It's also something the school dearly needs.
I don't mean to imply the school or the football program are among the victims of the Jerry Sandusky scandal. They're not. But the students, alumni and fans were betrayed nonetheless.
O'Brien's Lions have gone a long way toward putting the "Happy" back in Happy Valley, and you better believe that NFL teams are taking notice.
When asked about whether he'd be the coach next season, O'Brien avoided the issue. He didn't say he'd be back, and he didn't say he wouldn't — not a particularly reassuring response for Penn State fans. Letting him get away would be a big mistake.
O'Brien's success this season, in the Sandusky aftermath, shows why the football program needs to hold on to him. He's given Penn Staters something more important than wins. He's given them pride.
