CHICAGO - Will Bynum might have had to find his own way home if No. 3 Georgia Tech had let this one get away.
Luke Schenscher made a pair of free throws with 25.9 seconds left, B.J. Elder made three 3-pointers in the final nine minutes and the Yellow Jackets survived a scare from Illinois-Chicago with a 60-59 victory Monday night.
"If we don't have Will Bynum on our team, I'm not sitting in Chicago, trust me," Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt said. "But it was worth it. Obviously, I knew what we were walking into. But this is also the type of experience that can really boost your basketball team.
"To go on the road this early in the year against a very well-coached team and come out with a win, it can only help in the long run."
Bynum grew up in Chicago and was the Public League player of the year in 2001, and the Yellow Jackets (2-0) scheduled this game so his friends and family could see him play. Though he's played only one season at Georgia Tech - he transferred from Arizona - he's already made an impact, playing well throughout the NCAA tournament and hitting the shot that got the Yellow Jackets into the title game.
"I felt I owed it to Will," Hewitt said of why he was willing to play at Illinois-Chicago, where the Flames had a 15-game winning streak against non-conference foes. "I did tell him if we would have lost, I would have thrown him down in the locker room."
But Flames freshman Kevin Bond missed a free throw with six seconds left, and Justin Bowen's last-second jumper sailed wide of the basket to preserve Georgia Tech's win.
"I was worried," said Bynum, who finished with seven points, four assists and one steal. "I knew I couldn't go into the locker room if we would've lost. I wouldn't have been able to look coach in the eye. I'm glad we got the win."
Elder led the Yellow Jackets (2-0) with 17 points, and Jarret Jack and Isma'il Muhammad added 10 each.
Cedrick Banks led all players with 23 points, including five 3-pointers.
"I think we showed people in the city and around the country that we can compete against a top-ranked team," said Elliott Poole, who had nine points before fouling out with 25.9 seconds left.
The Flames (0-1) have won at least 20 games the last three seasons, and they've made the NCAA tournament out of the Horizon Conference two of the last three years. But Georgia Tech is in a different league, and we're not talking the ACC.
The Yellow Jackets are bigger, stronger and more skilled, and despite a rough first half, outshot, outrebounded and had the edge over the Flames in just about every other statistical category.
But for everything the Flames lack, they more than make up for it with spunk. When Georgia Tech rallied from a 33-29 halftime deficit to take a 47-39 lead, Illinois-Chicago came sprinting back.
The Yellow Jackets struggled offensively for a second straight game, but Bowen's alley-oop to open the second half seemed to finally spark something in them. Schenscher scored on a layup to start a 16-2 run, and the Yellow Jackets' fearsome defense kicked into high gear.
They held the Flames without a basket for almost four minutes, and Jack stole the ball twice in a 15-second span, taking it in for a bank shot each time.
"We didn't play well offensively," Bynum said. "But defensively we were consistent."
The Flames refused to go away, though. Bowen hit a baseline jumper, and White made a 3-pointer from NBA range to pull Illinois-Chicago within 50-49 with 7:52 left. It brought the screaming crowd to its feet, but Elder quickly quieted them with his own 3.
Banks made a jumper from the corner and Jovan Stefanov scored on a layup to tie the game at 53. But there again was Elder, knocking down another 3 from the left corner to put Georgia Tech ahead 56-53 with 5:58 left.
Banks then hit back-to-back 3s gave Illinois-Chicago a 59-58 lead with 1:59 left to play. But Poole hammered Schenscher on a layup attempt with 25.9 seconds left, and Schenscher made both shots to give Georgia Tech the lead for good.
Banks thought he was fouled on a jumper with about six seconds left, but there was no call. Bond then drew a foul and, despite a pep talk from Banks, missed the shot.
"I'm really not into moral victories," Flames coach Jimmy Collins said. "If the team is, and they come out tomorrow in practice and compete in the next games, then it's all worth it."

Purdue's Department of Building Construction Management has over 60 years of history on Purdue's central and regional campuses. It's one of the top programs in the nation, and more than 250 alumni have become presidents, vice-presidents, CEOs, and owners of construction firms across the U.S. This program has long been at the forefront of education in its field, preparing students for professional positions in all aspects of construction.
The Press is proud to support this innovative and longstanding program with the publication of Building Construction handbooks written by Purdue faculty and industry experts.
Demolition: Practices, Technology, and Management, by Richard J. Diven and Mark Shaurette
Created in partnership with the National Demolition Association, Demolition: Practices, Technology, and Management is written specifically with students of construction management and engineering in mind, although it will also be an invaluable reference resource for anyone involved in demolition projects. Since demolition has become such a central part of construction management, this audience includes practicing architects and engineers, general contractors, building and manufacturing facility owners, as well as government officials and regulators.
Disaster Recovery Project Management: Bringing Order from Chaos, by Randy R. Rapp
The scope of disasters ranges from man-made emergency to natural calamity, from a kitchen grease fire to a hurricane or volcanic eruption. It may be just one house that is destroyed, or perhaps a whole infrastructure system is threatened. While each type of event requires a very different scale and type of immediate response, the project management challenges that face restoration and reconstruction professionals after the emergency phase is complete are remarkably similar. Using insights acquired through decades of real-world experience, as well as from his academic research and teaching responsibilities, the author explains pertinent requirements and methods for the contractors and other professionals who bring order from chaos.
Construction Site Planning and Logistical Operations: Site-Focused Management for Builders, by Brad Benhart and Randy R. Rapp
This forthcoming title teaches muddy boots, site-level planning and operational management-especially how to organize the site and administer site processes to get the right resources to the right place timely and with maximum profitability. The book explains site-related activities from bidding to project closeout. Observations about leadership imperatives and techniques are included. Beyond only broad project managerial processes and practices, the book comprises such technical and operational issues as temporary soils and drainage structures, common equipment, and logistics. The book is strongly focused on the knowledge, skills, and abilities that are mastered by successful construction project superintendents.

The Power Management features are enabled by both the hardware's power-saving capability and the software provided with the Solaris operating environment. The exact nature of the power-saving mode your system goes into depends on your hardware and its compliance with Energy Star. To determine the version of Energy Star to which your system complies, use the prtconf -vp | grep energystar command.
Power Management-capable hardware provides the features discussed in the following sections.
The Energy Star 3.0-compliant SPARCTM hardware reduces power consumption by entering a low-power mode from which devices can resume full operation automatically. This hardware can turn off monitors and frame buffers, spin down disks, and drop the devices' power consumption significantly when they are idle -- all while leaving the system up and running, ready for use, and visible on the network. When a job appears on the system, either through a cron process, or an external demand through a network, the devices and other hardware snap back into full-power mode within seconds.
The earlier, Energy Star 2.0-compliant SPARC hardware does not have the capability of going into a reduced-power mode; after the designated minutes of idleness, the system completely shuts down. The exception to this are the monitors, which do have the capability of going into low-power mode and continuing to operate. Upon restart, the system takes a minute to reboot.
Systems that are noncompliant with Energy Star regulations perform power management for only the monitor; no other devices are power managed.

Angel Montero and April Parker are the couple that dancers love to watch- because of the vitality, passion, joy and playfulness that are expressed through their dance. They are the ones you see in milongas with big smiles on their faces while they are dancing to their favorite milongas. Their dances are constantly transforming, and their love for the dance takes them to explore and create new trends and to revere old trends of tango. April and Angel feel that the dance itself is always changing, and in its very nature, is improvisational. Dancing milonga is their specialty.
Angel has been teaching since 2006, while April started teaching local classes in early 2008; they have been regular teaching partners since 2007, and they have been invited to teach in the Southeast (Augusta and Savannah, GA; Charleston, SC; Durham and Asheville, NC; Birmingham, AL), Memphis, St. Louis and Kansas CIty, MO and Salamanca, Spain. Angel and April have been the fixtures of "Tango en Español", as part of the Spanish Immersion Program of Morehouse College in Atlanta for the past four years.
Their style of teaching addresses mechanics, technique and concepts, and they encourage themselves and the dancers in their classes to create their own unique style and way of expressing themselves in a dance. Both Angel and April believe that dancers need a very strong foundation of walking, turning, stopping and pivoting techniques and most importantly, awareness of comfortable body mechanics (posture, connection and embrace flexibility)- before dancers progress to the difficult advanced choreographic classes. Dancers with strong foundations make better dancers who can improvise with ease and create their own unique choreographies and movement.
Angel Montero
Known for his musicality and his milonga dancing skills, Angel always challenges his students to make the dance their own, instead of imitating a series of moves that can be easily forgotten. He emphasizes improvisation, fluidity and listening to their partners as the main foundations for the students' progression. He prefers to use more easy to understand terms in explanations, which helps the class understand better what parts of their bodies need to be used and how.
Angel started teaching in 2004, helping in Barbara Durr's local classes, and together with April, took over Atlanta Tango classes in 2010.
He started dancing in 2002, and discovered the social aspect of the dance soon after, after taking classes with several teachers visiting teachers in a short period of time (Brigitta Winkler, Alicia Pons and Susana Miller). After that fast start, Angel continued studying with milonguero legends like Cacho Dante, Ricardo Vidort and Ruben Harymbat, and followed some of the best teachers touring the US, like Robin Thomas, Brigitta Winkler, Alex Krebs, Tomás Howlin, Felipe Martinez and Eric Jørissen. You can see their influence in his dance. His curiosity for tango has taken him to study with teachers of different tango styles (Osvaldo Zotto, Facundo Posadas, Homer Ladas, Fabián Salas, Murat and Michelle, Oliver and Silvina, Chicho and Juana, Horacio Godoy, Mariano "Chicho" Frumboli), and he keeps exploring and taking any opportunity he is given to add new qualities to his dance.
In addition to teaching, Angel started DJing locally in 2004, and over the years he has become one of the most sought after DJs in the country. He has been the DJ of choice for many special events in the Southeast, and now he is being invited to DJ in festivals all over the country, like Denver, Ann Arbor, Austin, Kansas City, Tangosutra (Washington, DC), Puerto Rico, Tampa, Cleveland, Maratonazo (NYC), Dallas and Tango Element (Baltimore, MD). Angel usually favors rhythmic music (D'Arienzo rocks) but he pays close attention to the energy he gets form the dance floor. Most importantly, he does not believe in "killing the milonga", he always wants you to go home wanting more. For more details on where to listen to his music next, visit our TRAVELING SCHEDULE page. Angel was also the organizer of the in-haitus Atlanta Tango Festival, one of the best tango festivals in the US.
Angel is always available for private classes (individuals, couples or small groups). For more information, use our CONTACT page or call (404) 376-6732.
April began her journey into the world of Argentine tango in 2003 in Buenos Aires. She immediately fell in love with the music, and then the dance when she took her first class there. After taking classes for some time when she returned to the US, April joined Barbara Durr's class in 2005. She studied primarily with Barbara, and during this time, she began to develop her own dance.
April's ability to both lead and follow enables her to understand both sides of the embrace and the subtle movements within. She loves to challenge followers to become active with the abilites to contribute to and improvise within a dance-and helps followers gain the knowledge and confidence to dance with all types of leaders. She loves to challenge dancers to improve their fundamental technique and for advanced people, to try new ideas of movement in order to allow for a more improvisational dance instead of a 'body memory' routine.
She credits her dance as being an amalgam of several strong influences: Susana Miller, Brigitta Winkler, Robin Thomas, Eric Jørissen, Alicia Pons, Barbara Durr and Juana Sepulveda.
April developed the MUJER Y HOMBRE workshops, which is intense and in-depth investigation and practice of technique for dancers who are serious about progressing in their dance; she feels that mastery of technique is what truly helps improve dancers and helps them to become better dancers in a shorter amount of time.
April is also available for private classes (individuals, couple and small groups) and specializes in leaders' and followers' techniques, different movement techniques, and bodywork. For more information, please contact her using our CONTACT page.
Barbara Durr
Barbara Durr is the founder and original Master Instructor at Atlanta Tango. She has relocated to Washington, DC in 2010, and after taking a little bit of time to settle into her new home, she is teaching weekly classes in DC. Barbara's and Eugenia Park's new tango school in DC, Tango Seekers, is certain to be a very inspiring contribution to the DC tango scene.

A Tale of Two Kitties
Author's note: Love this! If only more people read cat stories. xD
ConfusionA young cat woke up with a start, his orange fur thick with sweat. He shivered as a frosty tingle ran down his spine. Where am I? What is this place? he thought, blinking his light green eyes to adjust to the bright light shining overhead. His head pounded with a beating pain and his heart leaped in his ribcage. He had no recollection of the past and no memories pointed to where he might have come from. He recognized things around him though. A human-made sofa, a wooden bowl, a plaster ceiling. But he couldn't remember anything else.
The cat let out a frightened meow and staggered to his feet. With a bright flash of white in his eyes and a sharp piercing pain in his aching head, he collapsed back onto the table he had been resting on. His head pounded worse than it had a few moments ago, and he closed his eyes to calm it. As he lay down on the table, he heard a far-away shuffling growing.
"I think he's awake," a human voice whispered. The cat peeked through his eyelids to find a hand with fingers like juicy sausages reaching down to stroke him. "There, there," the owner of the hand comforted him. "You should rest yourself. You're not fully healed yet." The chubby man grinned and stroked the cat's head.
"I wanna pet the kitty," a shrill, high-pitched voice squeaked. A smaller hand reached out and grabbed at the cat's fur. Why am I hurt? Why are these humans touching me? He had millions of questions that he wanted answered, but had no way to find out the answers. The little girl with the high-pitched voice turned her doe-like brown eyes to her father. "Can we keep him, Papi?" she asked.
"He doesn't seem too dangerous," the man, Papi, consented. "We gave him his injections. So he's free of worms and rabies. As long as he doesn't do anything too mischievous, you can have him. Mami will take care of him for you." The cat looked from man to child. Injections? Worms? Rabies? Are these the things that hurt me? he wondered.
"I will name him then," another boy voice shouted out. The cat shook his head. Where are all of these humans coming from? "I want to call him Roastcat. He looks tasty." The boy looked down at the cat and licked his lips. "Yumm." The cat gulped. They're going to eat me! He struggled to get up, but the hands restrained him.
"No, I shall not have Mr. Orange eaten, Natty," the little girl shouted.
"Mr. Orange? That's the dumbest name ever! You are so stupid ANN-A!" Natty yelled.
"Enough." Mami's voice flew through the small room like a gunshot. Both of the children went quiet, their heads turned down.
"I shall name him," Mami snapped, and she looked down at the nameless, memory-lost cat. "We shall call him…," she pondered, thumbing her chin and titling her head to the side as she squinted down at him. "We shall call him 'Survivor' because angels came and gave him to us. Whenever we say his name, we will be reminded of the blessing that God brought us." Mami's face lit up, and she crossed her hands over her heart.
The two children looked down at Survivor, their faces radiating. "Survivor," they echoed. Survivor purred. He loved that name.
"Hola, Survivor," Anna stroked Survivor's fur. Her eyes gleamed with hope, passion, and love. Survivor felt his headache subside and his heart beat ease into loud, resonant thumps. Although he couldn't remember anything, he had a feeling he was experiencing a new emotion.

I've heard preachers say a lot of really weird things, but this takes the cake:
Televangalist Benny Hinn is threatening to sue the religious satire magazine The Door for putting online a video clip showing his wife Suzanne preaching at his former church in Orlando.
The clip shows her telling the congregation, referring to lifeless, backsliding Christians:
"You know, my engine is revving up...revving to go. It's revving up! How 'bout yours? And if it's not, you know what? If your engine is not revving up, you know what you need? You need a Holy Ghost ENEMA! Right up your rear end!
"Be God pleasers...don't be a people pleaser! Because if you're a people pleaser, you're a BUTT KISSER! If you're a people pleaser, you're a BUTT KISSER! And there's no other word for it!"
Check out the video clip for yourself!
Thanks to the Tampa-based Recess Time blog for the heads up!

I am loving hair chalks. They are such a great, fun way to add a color with zero commitment. They are super easy to apply and then they shampoo right out. They would be fantastic for kids and teens that want to experiment with color and they are fun for adults too. They are perfect for special events. For example, if you walking in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in Chicago on Mothers Day, why not add a pink highlight?
For this tutorial, I'm using Hair Shadow by Chopper's Kisses. I love this hair chalk because of the easy to handle tube. This product will not rub off after it has dried completely (wait 15 minutes). I even slept on it and there was nothing on my pillowcase in the morning. Additionally, it contains macadamia nut oil to keep your locks from drying out and it has the most delicious coconut smell. For more hair chalk options, visit my roundup on Babble.
Get the tutorial after the jump.
How to Apply Hair Color Chalk
- Hair chalk (I'm using Hair Shadow by Chopper's Kisses)
- rat-tail comb
- disposable gloves
- hairspray
1. Start by sectioning away the top layer of your hair at an angle using your rat-tail comb.
2. Clip that section out of your way.
3. At this point, you'll want to apply your disposable gloves.
4. Again, use your rat-tail comb to create a triangle shaped section.
5. You section will look something like this. If you have thick hair, you can take a smaller section.
6. Twisting the section will create a bit more texture and make it easier to apply the chalk.
7. Apply your chalk all the way up and down the strand. Be sure to color all sides of your twist.
8. Spray with hairspray to seal. (Chopper's Kisses Hair Shadow is self-setting after 15 minutes so this step is optional when using this brand.) You may also optionally add heat via a flat iron or curling iron if you'd like the color to last longer.
8. Gently loosen the twist with your fingers or softly brush through for a more diffused highlight.by

Find information about McGill University teaching associates, and registering for elective lectures and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. It may surprise you that it's possible to enroll for a full-time course load, without having any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and McGill University teaching assistant information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for McGill University.
Teaching internships provide the opportunity for current students to gain experience. A teacher's aide works in a classroom setting, under the supervision of an experienced teacher, including a number of weeks leading the classroom. The Praxis Exam, given by the Educational Testing Service, is required for new teachers in most states.
Each school district has particular application procedures in place, so you must know the teacher certification or licensing requirements of the state board of education in the particular state in which you are seeking a teaching position. Schools and other educational organizations may require a curriculum vitae (CV) instead of a resume. A curriculum vitae should be around three to four pages, as compared to a one-page resume. The average annual salary for high school teachers was $57,200, in May 2017, with teaching job growth due to larger class sizes and increasing student enrollment. Beyond consideration for McGill University teaching associates, you may think about Marshall University courses online 2017 for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Expectations Are Too High

When TLC's Extreme Couponing show first previewed in December 2010 many viewers were in awe as they watched $2,000 worth in groceries cost just $100 after applying coupons. Many viewers who never used coupons thought, I can do that! Unfortunately many of those same viewers missed what happened after the program aired.

Savvy couponers, also watching the program, quickly jumped on their blogs and pointed out all the coupon misuse going on, including redeeming coupons for incorrect items, redeeming counterfeit coupons and making exceptions to store couponing policies that the normal shopper would never receive. In other words, the show was a fake. Does that mean that diehard couponers cannot save thousands on their food bill? Absolutely not. But that kind of extreme couponing takes a lot time, work and dedication and even then most "extreme" couponers will only save an average of 60-70% each shopping trip.

I average an email a week from coupon clippers that are disappointed with their savings from using coupons because they are comparing it to the "extreme" couponers. They become discouraged because their expectations are too high. If you are a casual couponer, be satisfied with any savings that you get from using coupons wisely. If stick to it, your skills will improve as will your overall savings.

Buying Items Because You Have a Coupon

There are thousands of coupons for thousands of products and chances are you will not like all of them. Just because you have a coupon for an item does not mean that you must buy it. If there is a shampoo that you have used in the past that you did not like, it won't improve just because you got it cheaper by using a coupon.

A good rule of thumb to follow when using coupons is -- buy products you like, try to use the coupons when those items are on sale, and if the generic is cheaper, buy generic.

Clearing the Shelves

Smart shoppers stock up on items that they know that they use regularly, but clearing the store shelves of items just because you have coupons for all of them can be wasteful and also results in stores tightening coupon acceptance policies. In fact, since "Extreme Couponing" aired, many stores have already set new policies about how many coupons on one specific item can be redeemed per day.

If you know that you plan on buying a lot of a particular item, speak with the store management and ask them to order it for you. Also, remember that you will need room at home to store what you buy and you will want to use it before it expires.

Over-Spending

Buying an excessive amount of all the super good deals at the grocery store can end up costing more than what you had budgeted to spend. In fact, a study co-sponsored by Washington University in St. Louis found that coupon clippers often spend more money than the average shopper. Some couponers will tell you this happens because they are building up a stockpile.

A good rule of thumb to avoid over-spending and still build a stockpile is to do it over time and to stick to the allotted amount of money you budgeted for stockpiling.

Not Using Your Stockpile

While having a great looking stockpile may be impressive to your neighbors and friends, it is completely useless if you never use the items that you are stockpiling. I've known couponers that refuse to use, for example, a can of beans from their stockpile because they only have six cans and they want 12 cans. Huh? A good rule to follow is to shop first in your stockpile and second in the stores, that's if your goal is to save money on groceries.

Not Doing the Math

Couponers generally stick to the rule that using coupons on the smallest size of an item that the coupon allows will save you more than using the coupon on the largest size. While this is true most of the time, there are times when the opposite is true. That is why it is helpful to shop with a calculator so that you can figure out what the best price will be after applying your coupon.

Example of When Buying Smaller is Cheaper

Without Coupon
Chock Full O' Nuts Coffee
33.90 oz, $15.75 or $0.46 per oz
11.30 oz, $5.65 or $0.50 per oz

After a $2 off coupon
33.90 oz, $13.75 or $0.41 per oz
11.30 oz, $3.65 or $0.32 per oz

Example of When Buying Bigger is Cheaper

Without Coupon
Folgers Medium Classic Roast Coffee, 33.9 oz, $8.58 or $0.25 per oz
Folgers Medium Classic Roast Ground, 11.3 oz, $4.58 or $0.41 per oz.

After a $2 off coupon
Folgers Medium Classic Roast Ground Coffee, 33.9 oz, $6.58 or $0.19 per oz
Folgers Medium Classic Roast Ground, 11.3 oz, $2.58 or $0.23 per oz.

Although you will almost always save more money by using coupons on the smallest size, it pays to take the time to do the math.

Not Reading the Fine Print

Most coupons have usage policies printed on the coupon. It can be minimum sizes that need to be purchased to use the coupon, specific colors, specific flavors, quantity limits and even regional coupons with zip code limits. Always take the time to read the coupon and follow the rules. Understandably couponers are not perfect and a coupon can be turned over, and then mistakenly redeemed by a cashier, to do it on purpose is not ethical or honest.

Not Getting a Rain Check

This is probably the one are that I get very lazy about because of the extra time that it takes, but my laziness has cost me a lot of money in the long run. Don't be like me. Take the time to ask for a rain check when an advertised sale item is sold out at your grocery stores.

Buying When the Price Isn't Right

Every couponer has experienced going through checkout and realizing either they misread a coupon or the sale price on an item, or the cashier/manager just refuses to budge on a price or accept a coupon, even though they are wrong. Either way, if an item is going to cost you more than what you thought you would spend on it, pull it out of the bag and nicely ask that the cashier remove it from your total.

Failing to do this can really get expensive. You end up with items that cost you more than what you would ever pay under normal circumstances. By doing this, it also helps you discipline yourself to pay attention to the scanned prices as the cashier scans your items.

Getting Angry

Using coupons can be exasperating at times. You have to deal with eye-rolling cashiers, customers muttering profanity at you, managers that are barely trained and employees that don't even know their store's policies. But you also deal with moms working a part-time job, students trying to pay their way through college, parents who work six days a week, 10 hours a day, then go home and take care of kids.

Just like everywhere, there are all types of people working in stores. When things fail to go your way with your coupons, just keep things nice and leave with as much savings as you can. It just is not worth getting into heated verbal disagreements.

Bahrain Bourse (BHB) officially announced the kick-off of the TradeQuest Challenge for the school year 2012-2013 with the attendance of Shaikh Khalifa bin Ebrahim Al-Khalifa, Deputy Director of the Bourse.
The kick-off meeting was held at Bahrain Bourse premises, where all participating students and teams' school advisors attended the event along with the financial advisors who will monitor and coach the teams during the programme.
TradeQuest is a simulated business-education partnership program that focuses on investment trading in world financial markets. The program aims at stimulating relevant learning through realistic experience by learning the rules and regulations implemented in financial markets, analyzing and selecting shares, and managing a portfolio of investment instruments listed at New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Bahrain Bourse.
During the meeting, the attendants were briefed about the program, its objectives and different phases that it went through since its commencement in 1996. The program's timeline was also presented, detailing the events, activities, and investment workshops that will be conducted over the coming 24 weeks.
Shaikh Khalifa Al Khalifa announced the kick-off of the TradeQuest Challenge for the 16th consecutive year, assuring the bourse's keenness to play an essential and active role in the preparation and implementation of the program, and the programs that link between the theoretical concepts that students study at school and the practical implementation of those concepts.
"Such programmes will contribute to spreading investment awareness among students in general, and high school students. This will also enhance the students' capabilities to collect and analyze data and information to use it in a useful educational manner," he said.
"Organizing TradeQuest along with other awareness programs comes in line with implementing the Bourse's approved strategy aiming at spreading investment awareness among all categories of citizens and expatriates that will benefit all parties," Shaikh Khalifa, added.
Shaikh Khalifa praised the efforts of the banks and financial institutions sponsoring the program, appreciating their continuous cooperation and support to the Bourse to make this program and other initiatives and activities adopted by the Bourse succeed.
This year's TradeQuest program includes 8 school teams, and they are Al Noor International School, Bahrain School, Ibn Khuldoon National School, Abdul Rahman Kanoo International School, Naseem International School, St. Christopher's School, and the British School of Bahrain. The total number of participants in the program is 75 consisting of students, coordinators, and financial advisors.
Various financial and banking institutions in Bahrain are sponsoring TradeQuest and taking part in the program by conducting lectures and workshops that are held during the program, and they are: Gulf International Bank (GIB), Securities and Investment Company (SICO), United Gulf Bank, Investcorp Bank, CFA Bahrain, Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), and Citigroup.
Bahrain Bourse will soon launch another similar program for university students, expecting to announce its kick-off in the coming period.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Database Archive
First off, this is not about archive logs. It is about archiving data. ie. moving data from your database to an offline
system or moving it to nearline storage (HSM, etc)
I was reading an article in Computerworld about this:
Or just go to computerworld.com and type in QuickLink 44949
What struck me about this article is twofold
I would think that given a decent database to work with (Oracle) and someone fairly knowledgeable to run it, achieving acceptable performance would not require moving data out of the database.
For instance, one of the databases referred to is 100G is size.
Many of us have tables larger than that.
Just wondering what others reactions to this article are.
I plan to write a letter to computerworld regarding this, but thought it a
good idea to weigh in here first.

2007 CWB Marius 140
Width is the best thing to hit wakeboarding if done right. Trevor did it right. Trevor rides with a style that makes his riding look effortless. Coasting into the wake and boosting a method back five eight feet skyward. The question is how can he get so high with such little edge? Width my friend. Lay your eyes on the Marius and the first thing you will see is that it is the widest board ever. This extra width means mucho surface area, which translates into lift, soft landings and great room for stickers. Wide boards are historically harder to edge, which is why most on the market are short wide boards The brilliant minds at CWB developed V-Tech to enable the first fully functioning wide, long board on the market. This deep V means rocker at the corner is nearly 3", but in the middle it is almost an inch lower. The V-Tech makes the long wide board switch edges incredibly fast, turning like a long narrow board. Gone are the days of sacrificing pop when edging hard. With V-Tech and the massive real estate packed into the Marius, bring on the pop!

This is the first board I have owned since the '03 Absolute. Its amazing to see how boards have come along. The Marius is pretty much perfect for me, as I am a rider who prefers a more skatey feel on the water (I ride the board finless), and this helps for rotating on to sliders aswell. It is also surprisingly fast and willing to turn, unlike the LF Substance I have been riding for a while. The board has a solid pop and is firm but easy on the landings. It does seem to abrade on obstacles but less than some boards I have ridden. It does everything the company said it would so I am impressed and would recommend it to anyone.
Reviewer: J Nickle
02/20/2008 12:00am
As many have said, the board feels slow at first. Don't let this one negative taint your view of the ride. Once settled in, the pop and landings on this board far outweigh any negatives. I don't do sliders, so no opinion here. With proper form, the pop is super easy with a melow style. It matches my style well.
Reviewer: E - Rock
11/06/2007 12:00am
This board is so slow and heavy feeling, landings are rough cuz you can't land with speed, inverts and raleys are weird cuz it's so heavy, ollies are hard to dig your tail in, and edges get ripped up on rails or just an accidental drop, hard to lay on edge. Pop is pretty good not that it matters after all the negatives this board has. With experience of 2 CWB boards (transcend), I would never buy a CWB again.
Reviewer: Doug Cantrell

Board has great pop and spins well! fells alittle slow at first, but that is quickly adjusted for. Landings are super soft

im a heavy rider on my premier if i land in the flats it hurts my knees but on this board its like i never left the water the landings are so smooth. and the pop the first time you tit the wake on this board watch out because you might be rolling the windows down, this board throws you. i love it

I think this is a great board, I ride alot of sliders and ramps and this is great but, it seems to fall apart faster that i can buy new ones. If the molded fins were a bit bigger and the board was made stronger, this would be the best board on the market in my opinion.

I have both print and screen options for CSS. The print CSS file sets some aspects to hidden so they don't get printed (header/footer, menu etc).
As part of this I have an expandable/collapsable search box (using javascript). Now when the page loads the default state for the search box is hidden (this is outside of javascript) and sure enough it doesn't appear on print preview or the actual print.
However when I toggle the search box to become visible, the print CSS file seems to get ignored as it always prints out. I have to manually hide it again for it not to show on the print out.
Is this by design (i.e. current state overwrites print CSS file), a bug in CSS/JS or something i'm doing wrong?

Natural Treatment for Arthritis
by Nicole Henry
Arthritis is 'inflammation of the joints'. With weather turning more cold, people suffering from arthritis happen to visit clinics regularly. This disease starts with lasting pain and stiffness of one or more joints in the body, and eventually affects almost all joints of the body.
This degenerative joint-disease can be addressed with a few effective natural remedies that can soothe the pain and help you continue your normal routine activities, even during cold weather. Working out also triggers the joint pain frequently.
This disorder is common in aging people. It is important that you pay immediate attention to this disease, before it turns out to be severe to cripple you physically and mentally. However, it is possible to ward off the unwelcoming signs and symptoms of this disease and let the joints be healthy for long.
Here are some natural remedies to treat arthritis.
Natural Remedies to Treat Arthritis
Obesity can trigger various problems. Moreover if you have joint disorder, you should be more cautious towards weight gain. Every pound that you lose puts less pressure on your knees and ultimately less joint pain. Even some people have experienced very few or no symptoms at all of arthritis, after losing 10-20 pounds.
Increase the Intake of Organic Anti-Oxidants:
Arthritis is common in aging people. Free radicals cause damage to the body tissues and cartilage and cause inflammation of the joints. Dietary intake of anti-oxidants can fight back the ill effects of free radicals and treat arthritis.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in anti-oxidants. Everyday 5-6 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables is recommended.
Fruits such as oranges, apples, papaya and grapes are good to help in preventing cartilage breakdown as well as to stimulate components necessary to manufacture cartilage tissues.
Drink Juices and Be Hydrated:
Vegetable juices and fruit juices are good to keep arthritis pain at bay. Carrot juice, cucumber juice, beet juice, potato juice, cabbage juice and ginger juice separately or all mixed together can be beneficial to prevent joint destruction.
In fruit juices, black cherry juice is an effective remedy for arthritis. During joint pains, you can take two glasses of this juice. Each glass of juice should be mixed with 4 ounces of black cherry juice and 4 ounces of water.
Howsoever, controversial it may sound, but it is better to exercise a little during pain as this will relieve the joint pain. However, do not do rigorous exercise and go for light work out. Walking, biking, swimming or aerobics can be just right type of exercises to treat arthritis.
Sunbathing can prove to be promising in treating arthritis pain. To fight knee joint pain or pain in any other joint, you may expose the affected joint in sun during the morning hours, for 15 minutes. Sun exposure forms synovial fluids, which increases joint friction and relieve pain.
Hot Compress:
For quick relief of pain, giving hot compress to the affected area with the help of electric blanket, hot water bag, heating pads, etc. can be effective. Apply hot compress for around 15-20 minutes. Even a hot water bath or soaking in hot water can help relieve joint pain.
Many people have experienced the fruitful effects of massage in arthritis that they can even swear by it. Massage alleviates the symptoms associated with arthritis inflammation and facilitate blood circulation. Thus, massaging can improve the mobility of joints, increase the flexibility and relieve the soreness and stiffness of the joints.
Using warm mustard oil, or eucalyptus oil can be beneficial to relieve the inflammation and pain, as these oils are known for their pain relieving qualities. After massaging the joints, do not expose them to the cold air out by keeping it wrapped in a warm cloth.
Glucosamine Sulphate:
Glucosamine sulphate is a naturally occurring chemical compound produced in healthy joints. This chemical is used by the body to repair cartilage damage and keep it healthy. Thus, supplementing glucosamine sulphate in arthritis can help boost the cartilage health and reduce the arthritic pain in mild to moderate cases.
Tai Chi:
This is amongst some mind body remedies for arthritis. Many people have experienced benefits of tai chi in arthritis pain. Movements of tai chi are graceful and gentle, thereby making it safe for people suffering from arthritis. The spiritual component of this exercise helps the mid to divert attention away from pain. Tai chi offers improved range of motion and increased joint flexibility.
Arthritis is one of the major causes for morbidity in many elderly people. This disease has several types and is common in women. It is a chronic problem that causes joint inflammation and persistent pain. Above given remedies are natural, without any side effect and which have been proven to be promising in treating arthritis disorder.

Normal Lake Level is 322.00 feet
above Mean Sea Level.
Current level for Cedar Creek Lake is:
Water Temperature:
62 degrees - top
62 degrees - bottom
Football, volleyball
practices begin
By Kerry Yancey
Monitor Staff Writer
CEDAR CREEK LAKE–Never mind that it's 104 degrees in the shade. It's
time for football.
Area football and volleyball players kick off two-a-day practices for
the fall season Monday morning.
Football players will be starting early – some very early, at least for
those of us who haven't been teenagers for quite some time – in a bid to
avoid some of the August heat.
Volleyball players, who compete inside, won't be starting quite so
early, but they'll have scrimmages starting right away.
The Eustace Lady Bulldogs will host a number of teams, including Mabank
and Athens, in a round-robin volleyball scrimmage opening at 4:30 p.m.
Friday, Aug. 8, while the Kemp Lady Yellowjackets will be hosting
Mildred for a scrimmage Friday, opening at 10 a.m. with a freshman
All three local teams will continue scrimmages Saturday, Aug. 9, as
Mabank heads to Wills Point, Kemp hosts Kerens and Eustace hosts both
Athens and Malakoff. All three scrimmages open at 10 a.m. with freshman
Kemp's Lady 'Jackets open practice at 8 a.m. Monday at Yellowjacket
Stadium, where they'll be doing some running before hitting the weight
After closing for a break at 12:30 p.m., the Lady Jackets will resume
practices from 2-4:30 p.m. under coach Peggy Swierc.
At Eustace, veteran coach Chuck Powers will be holding practices from
8-11 a.m. and return for a second round from noon to 2 p.m.
In Mabank, coach Stacy Shelton – who is looking to rebuild after losing
12 of 14 players on last year's back-to-back district champion squad to
graduation – will hold morning practices from 9 a.m. to noon, and return
from 2-4 p.m.
Official matches begin Tuesday, Aug. 12, for all three teams, as Mabank
hosts Wills Point and Ennis in a dual match, Kemp will host Brownsboro
and Eustace will travel to Grand Saline for a dual match against the
hosting Lady Indians and the Malakoff Lady Tigers.
Mabank's football Panthers will be looking to remain competitive in a
brand-new district after being bumped up to Class 4A in February's UIL
Back in November, 2005, the last time the Panthers were in 4A, they had
a shot at making the third-place playoff spot in one of the strongest 4A
districts in the state.
In the final game, they dropped a 42-41 decision to hosting Lancaster in
double overtime, which is about as close to making the playoffs as one
could get.
To beat the heat, the Panthers will open practice at 6:30 a.m., and
continue (with a break) until noon.
Kemp's Yellowjackets, who will be looking to better last year's 1-9 mark
with most of that very young team returning, will start nearly as early,
7 a.m., and will continue until 12:30 a.m., with a break around 9 a.m.
or so.
Kemp freshmen will open practice at 9:30 a.m. Monday.
At Eustace, the Bulldogs will be hoping to build on last year's
successes when they open practice at 7 a.m.
The Bulldogs will take a break at 8:45 a.m. and resume practice at 10
before wrapping up the morning's workouts at 11:45.
Football players will be practicing in shorts and T-shirts until Friday,
when they can don pads for the first time.

Perfectly situated between Dallas and Fort Worth, the City of Arlington, Texas, offers its inhabitants the best of all worlds, and ARLINGTON MUSIC HALL possesses some of the richest performing history in all of the Metroplex.
Built in 1949 and opening in 1950 as a movie theater, this beautiful facility was considered the "go to" place for entertainment (both live and on film!).
Opening night featured the movie "Seabiscuit" with Shirley Temple and Barry Fitzgerald that followed a memorable performance by a local band – The Flying Ranch Hands (aka The Light Crust Doughboys).
Burk Collins purchased the Hall in 2006 and implemented a series of major upgrades to the facility resulting in a total renovation costing $7 million. The stage size was doubled and the seating capacity was increased to nearly 1,056 by the time the Hall re-opened in November 2010 with Ray Price serving as the headliner.
A remnant of the original curtain is on display inside and marquee on the front of the building is also the original!
Willie Nelson, The Platters, Loretta Lynn, Eddie Money, Rick Springfield, Clint Black, KANSAS and Wynonna Judd have all graced the stage of this historic venue. In fact, Leann Rimes got her start as a child at ARLINGTON MUSIC HALL!
Today, ARLINGTON MUSIC HALL is the perfect host for a wide range of experiences for all ages – Country, Pop, Rock, Classical, Comedy and Musical Theatre. We're also the home to SYMPHONY ARLINGTON, performing a series of monthly concerts throughout its annual season.
Constantly searching for both classic artists and rising stars. ARLINGTON MUSIC HALL is quickly becoming one of the most sought out entertainment venues in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex.
Watch for regular updates to this site and join us as we continue the proud tradition of quality entertainment in this historical setting.

China's auto industry is some 10 years away from being able to compete in the global market, says Sanford C. Bernstein.
Sandford auto analyst Max Warburton told Bloomberg this week that the likes of General Motors (GM), Volkswagen (VLKAY), and Toyota (TM) are still vastly outspending Chinese auto companies in research and development, which enables them to hold on to their lead in the global market.
"The Chinese are 80% of the way there; 20% doesn't sound very hard, but it's probably the most complex bits to get right," said the Singapore-based Warburton, who has a Neutral rating on Chinese automakers. "They'll be spending until they make it work and eventually they'll end up with Chinese carmakers on the world stage."
The Chinese car company with the greatest breakout potential, Warburton reckoned, was SAIC Motor (SHA:600104). Through its China joint venture with GM, SAIC has learned a "huge amount," Warburton told Bloomberg. SAIC also has more seasoned engineers compared to other Chinese automakers.
Here is this week's business news:
Baidu (BIDU): It's been a tough week for Baidu, with its shares having fallen more than 6% this week following a series of analyst downgrades.
Goldman Sachs got the ball rolling on Tuesday, lowering its price target on Baidu to $89 from $135 while also cutting its 2013 earnings-per-share estimate by 22% and its 2014 earnings estimate by another 30%. Goldman said that "mobile cannibalization and competition with Qihoo (QIHU) will pose structural threats to Baidu's high profit margins."
Meanwhile, both Credit Agricole and CLSA have also downgraded Baidu this week, citing increased competition from Alibaba's new search engine. Credit Agricole cut Baidu to Underperform from Outperform, with a price objective is $105. CLSA moved the stock to Underperform from Outperform, setting a $105 target.
Citi analyst Muzhi Lee also does not like the stock, even though it's fallen some 16% in the past month. Lee notes, according to Barron's:
"We recommend investors to sell Baidu now and thereafter monitor whether its competitive edge is improving; We do not recommend investors bottom fish based on price chart or valuation trend; We do not recommend investors analyze Baidu by assuming it is or will become Google (GOOG) in China. The management never intended to do so."
Microsoft (MSFT): Microsoft has thus far declined to release concrete sales figures for its line of Surface tablets, with CEO Steve Ballmer saying in an interview this week that "in an environment in which there's 350 million PCs sold, I don't think Surface is going to dominate volume, but it's a real business."
According to estimates from research firm IDC, sales in mainland China have gotten off to a sluggish start, with a mere 30,000 units of the Surface RT shipped in the fourth quarter of 2012, reported The Next Web. Microsoft had heavily promoted the Surface RT debut in China, with local retail partner Suning (SHE:002024) even holding midnight launches at some of its shops.
The number of units of Surface RT shipped represented 1% of China's tablet market. In comparison, Apple's (AAPL) line of iPads dominated the fourth quarter with 1.4 million shipments, or 62% of the market. Android held a 36% share in the same quarter.
Though sales were lackluster, IDC analyst Dickie Chang told The Next Web that "he believes Microsoft is playing the long game here and is using the Surface RT as a demo for OEMs to show the potential of the Windows RT operating system."
Sina (SINA): The owner of Weibo, China's Twitter-like microblogging service, posted an unexpected fourth-quarter earnings beat. Net income came in at $9 million, or $0.13 per share, far exceeding the consensus estimate of $0.05 per share. Revenue of $139.1 million also surpassed analysts' projection of $133.9 million.
Like Baidu, however, Sina continues to face mobile monetization challenges, with more of its over 400 million Weibo users now posting from mobile devices than from desktop computers.
"Weibo needs a lot of development and money, especially for the advertising-promotion system," Ma Yuan, a Hong Kong- based analyst at Bocom International Holdings, told Bloomberg before the earnings announcement. Ma has a Neutral rating on Sina.

In Strands of Fate, most player characters are created with ten aspects.
Wait a sec… Let me back up… If you aren't familiar with Fate, here's the 38-word rundown: Aspects are simple phrases that sum up everything that is important about your character. These phrases come into play quite often as a simple, major component of the game mechanic, while simultaneously explaining your character's concept and background.
"Yeah, but how do I come up with those 10 little phrases?"
Easy. Just follow the Aspect Alphabet. The Aspect Alphabet is a nice little package that helps you invent your aspects one at a time, with each one leaning a certain direction. Using this alphabet is entirely optional, but even many veteran Fate gamers will use all or most of this tool, as it simply helps to make a well-rounded, rich character.
The Aspect Alphabet is divided into two parts: Character Aspects and Specialty Aspects. Today we're going to talk about Character Aspects. As the name implies, these aspects describe who your character really is:
- Defining Aspect
- A = Ambition
- B = Background
- C = Conviction
- D = Disadvantage
We've already talked about our Defining Aspect (Resurrected Valenar Warrior of Legend), so let's jump right into our other Character Aspects, starting with Ambition. After we figure out what they are, we'll look into how we can use them in the game.
2. Ambition
What is it that my character, "Desolation" Amearus Omaron, seeks? What is he trying to do? What is his goal?
Well, I know that as a Resurrected Valenar Warrior of Legend, he once attained immortality (figuratively speaking). Others revered him as a great warrior, chanting war cries about him after his death. That's quite an honor in Valenar society, and made his family proud. However, now that he has been resurrected (especially as a revenant), he has lost that distinction. The Valenar elves revere their greatest dead warriors, not their undead. Granted, Amearus isn't undead, but as a revenant, he's not alive, either. This has isolated him from his people, who don't really know what to think of him. They certainly don't respect him like they used to, and in truth, they now just barely tolerate him. This is all more than he can bear, and wants nothing more than to regain his glory. He must regain his glory. That's it, I've found my Ambition:
I will regain my glory
3. Background
What is there about my character's background that will influence his future? What, from his past, is going to have an effect on this character's story?
In the 100 Years War, Amearus had fought in over 100 battles. As a soldier, he was certainly skilled enough, but it was an unnatural power that followed him into battle. Almost all of his opponents have died from their injuries, even those opponents who surrendered or retreated – they still died from their injuries inflicted by Amearus. His fellow soldiers eventually noticed this, and used it to help drive fear into their enemies. He quickly earned the fitting moniker "Desolation," which in turn furthered his reputation, status, and rank. Few (if any) questioned this rumored "cloud of death" that followed Desolation into battle, because (in a time of war) he and his men produced continuous, solid results. Until recently, even Desolation didn't question his place as death's right hand. That's it, I've found my Background:
Death's right hand
4. Conviction
What does Desolation believe in? When is he going to stand his ground? When he has something important to say, what is it about?
Elsewhere I mentioned that I wanted this character to be (at times) at odds with his morals and convictions. I wanted him to have strong ideals about honor, loyalty, and duty to country, though because of his taint with "Death" (Death's right hand), he's starting to lose touch with his former, ideal self. Death's right hand has an effect on him that will be subtle at first, then more pronounced as he continues to do Death's work. So, for his Conviction Aspect, I think that Honor is my middle name will work great.
Honor is my middle name
5. Disadvantage
To give my character some great inner conflict, I'm going to make my Disadvantage pretty much go directly against my Conviction. I think The end justifies the means will do just fine. This aspect is not exactly dishonorable or evil, but it's going to be useful in balancing out his Conviction. It's a great way to justify doing things that he might not normally do. It's more or less a sneaky tool that Death is using to corrupt Desolation, to help him cause more death and destruction. In Desolation's story, there is now potential for a tug-of-war between Desolation's Conviction and Disadvantage. He's naturally an honorable person, but his Disadvantage will slowly start to blur the lines between right and wrong, order and chaos, and maybe even destroy his sanity.
The end justifies the means.
How Can I Invoke My Character Aspects?
(Remember, you invoke an aspect when you (the player), want a part of your character to influence the story, scene, or action. Spend a Fate Point to get a +2 bonus to a single action, perform a re-roll, or to invoke an effect)
- Defining Aspect – Resurrected Valenar Warrior of Legend
- Ambition – I will regain my glory– I will most often invoke this aspect any time that my character is going to do something flamboyant, difficult, or very challenging – especially if others are present to witness. This is my "show off" aspect. This is my character trying to "be the man" so that others will revel my awesomeness. Only as a glorious warrior will I once again achieve immortality among my people.
- [Bonus] Should we get ambushed by orcs, I'll take on three at a time.
- [Effect] I could bait the biggest, toughest foe to attack me (or all enemies).
- [Bonus] Should I try to intimidate the orc chieftain in front of his men, I'll do so with style.
- Background – Death's right hand – Death is hanging over me, following me wherever I go. I'm a great warrior, but even more so because I have the touch of death, and can call upon it to aid my blade. This is an aspect that I would invoke in combat, but only under certain conditions. I think this fits well when facing living opponents. It doesn't usually work against constructs, demons, devils, objects, or elementals (or any chaos monsters that are hell-bent on death and destruction), and it probably doesn't work using ranged attacks (it's an up close and personalkind of thing).
- [Bonus] Any soldier worth his weight in dirt should know not to face me (or so I feel). Death will certainly back me up on this with a +2 bonus.
- [Effect] I could invoke Death's right hand on an injured opponent (who I wounded) who runs away. Perhaps rolls to heal him take a -2 penalty, or he doesn't heal at all, and ends up dying?
- Conviction – Honor is my middle name– What can I say? I'm an old-fashioned, honorable kind of guy.
- [Bonus] Should some spell effect me to do something dishonorable, I can use this aspect to fight that spell.
- [Effect] Should I ask the Duke to help us in our quest, he might be more inclined to help an obviously honorable man.
- Disadvantage – The end justifies the means – As this is my Disadvantage (and because of how it is worded), I'll be invoking this rarely. This aspect will come into play more often when compelled by either me or the GM. Later on in Desolation's story, I might start invoking it more often to reflect him becoming more of an agent of Death and destruction (if that's how his story plays out). For now, I'll invoke this aspect any time I'm working toward a goal, but my method is not exactly honorable.
- [Bonus] Should we ever need to get information out of an unwilling subject, this will work quite nicely as I "encourage" him to talk.
- Really, any action I take that can progress me to my goal (and is not exactly an honorable action) can benefit from this aspect.
How Can My Character Aspects Be Compelled?
(Remember, you and the GM compel an aspect to create conflict for your character, instilling complications into his story. Gain a Fate Point to take a -2 penalty, be forced to re-roll, or make something bad happen)
- Defining Aspect – Resurrected Valenar Warrior of Legend
- Ambition – I will regain my glory– I imagine that this will be compelled when my character is trying to do something on the down-low. My character is trying to accomplish great things to regain his immortality, not subtle things to just "get by."
- [Effect] I've been tasked by the party leader to sit tight and watch our back. However, the GM can compel me to go off on my own and search that other room instead.
- [Effect] My character could be badly injured and retreating, but the GM can compel me to go after more enemies (or the toughest enemy).
- Background – Death's right hand – Death IS hanging over me, following me wherever I go.
- [Effect] Any enemy that I fight, that I'm trying to capture, might get hit with a killing blow accidentally. Or, he simply might die from his injuries after the fight ended.
- [Penalty] Perhaps I take an action in an attempt to save an ally. Now I have a penalty to that action.
- Conviction – Honor is my middle name– Sometimes honor can get in the way of things.
- [Effect] When the situation calls for it, strong arm tactics are the only way to go. I could be compelled to not let that happen.
- [Effect] The GM could pull this one whenever I try to tell a much-needed lie. "Ok, it was us who killed your brother."
- [Penalty] Sometimes intimidation is not in my nature.
- Disadvantage – The end justifies the means– This is simply great because it can easily represent my past coming back to bite me in the ass.
- [Effect] "Damn. In one of my previous battles in the war, my men and I set up an ambush in a village to trap an advancing enemy. The enemy was beaten, but the village was leveled. These people are those displaced villagers, and they do remember me."
Coming soon: Your "Specialty Aspects"
12 Responses to "Playing with Fate: Your "Character Aspects""
That's a nice concept for devising aspects. In general, how do other Fate games do this? Is it similar?
And the FATE system continues to intrigue and impress. The way you're putting this together and presenting it, I really, REALLY want to play. And yes, I can absolutely imagine applying these to every other game system.
Really good of using Aspects to define a character. I like it. I think it would make it pretty simple for folks new to FATE to understand it and apply it.
Yea, I could almost see using the FATE system with D&D 4e as a tack on to a character. Just using the Aspects and FATE points as something similar to Action points but from the side of plot and story rather than combat and nitty gritty rules and actions.
After reading your past articles I got the brilliant idea to add Aspects and Fate points to my currently running 4E D&D campaign. I always ask my players to write a backstory for their characters so I have something to pull from when I really want to engage the players and so they have better defined personalities for their characters. The problem is we're all college students and writing a backstory really isn't a top priority when we all just want to play a game, so Aspects are a good substitute in my opinion. At least with Aspects you can define your personality and use it to actually affect the game, which is a really great concept – I'm upset that I didn't come up with it first. I linked my players to this post and it's been really helpful in providing a guide for creating Aspects. Thanks for helping us improve our game.
I have question about compelling Aspects of GM's characters. Is it possible by player?
Yes, you can. You can give a GM character one of your fate points to compel one of his aspects to:
1. Force a -2 penalty on their roll.
2. Force a re-roll.
3. Compel for effect
Not only do I now want to play Fate, but I also want to play your character!
So we implemented Fate into our game, and everyone really likes the idea. We're not quite used to how it works, but we used this post to help guide us through the process of creating aspects. We don't quite have the hang of them just yet, but I'm sure we will eventually. One character who has "I'm bullheaded" as one of his aspects decided to compel it to try to bash through the wall of a cabin instead of going through the door during combat because there were enemies in the way. We're just trying to find a balance between being too specific and too general with them (especially our wizard). We do like the idea of them, so hopefully we'll be able to really test them out in later sessions. I have to say, this post really did help us figure out how to make them.
[…] glad to see are things called Triggers (Ins and Outs). My guess is that they're like aspects, in a way. You get bonuses for having bad crap happen, and you can use them for die rolls or to […]

40 Nazareth Photos: Where Joseph, Mary, and Jesus lived
***Disclosure: All ads on this site are affiliate links, to help April buy nice things…***
We have 4 posts left in this Israel series: Nazareth, Capernaum, the Sea of Galilee, and What to Wear When Touring Israel.
Today let's see Nazareth!!
Alan was able to join me for one last day of touring. We could not have been more excited to hop on that bus and head to Nazareth.
This part of the town where the churches are located was a largely Muslim area. There is another part of Nazareth where the Jews live.
My day was off to an uplifting start. Our first stop was a gift shop, where the store manager instructed his employee to give me a special discount for having such pretty blue eyes.
Yes, flattery does work on me. I thoroughly enjoyed the compliment, but I didn't actually buy anything. I usually count my photos as my best souvenirs.
The Church of the Annunciation, also in Nazareth, had these beautiful murals of Mary with Jesus. Countries from all over the world each sent one.
from France
Why was Nazareth important?
Nazareth is where Jesus lived with his parents after they returned from hiding from King Herod in Egypt.
It is also where Mary received the news that she would bear a son, the child of God, who would be called Emmanuel.
Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see." John 1:46
Did you know that Jesus visited Nazareth twice in his ministry, and was unwelcome both times? In fact, once they tried to stone him there, but he got away.
"And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples followed him. 2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? 3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us?
And they were offended at him. 4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. 5And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. 6And he marvelled because of their unbelief." ~Mark 6:1-6
The importance of the church of the Annunciation is that it is where Gabriel visited Mary.
"Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city in Galilee called Nazareth," Luke 1:26
Y'all, this area is extremely hilly, mountainous, and most of all BUMPY! My Fitbit gave me credit for like 200 flights of stairs. No, I didn't climb anywhere near that many, but apparently if you ride on an extremely rough road at a slow enough speed, the Fitbit believes you are mountain climbing.
The Sermon on the Mount mountain wasn't actually in Nazareth. We saw it during the van ride.
You can imagine my dismay when my camera couldn't handle the strong Israeli outlets. My real camera was my photography tool of choice. I was extra careful to charge it before we left the hotel. The powerful outlet charged it super-fast, but it wasn't actually charged.
My camera battery died as soon as we reached the churches at the top of the hill. This may sound overly dramatic, but I totally wanted to cry over the fact that the rest of these photos are iPhone quality, indoors. Sad, sad, sadness!!!
More Nazareth Photos:
I do not recall much more to tell you about these, but I this is what it looked like:
"And there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, 24Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
25And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. 26And when the unclean spirit had torn him, and cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 27And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this? what new doctrine is this? for with authority commandeth he even the unclean spirits, and they do obey him. 28And immediately his fame spread abroad throughout all the region round about Galilee.
Mark 1:23-28
The next place we went was Capernaum, and y'all, it was our FAVORITE. The synagogue, referenced in the Bible, where Jesus taught and performed miracles, is still there. You can see it.
Yes, there's a newer synagogue on top of it, which is so old, even it is from the 4th century AD, but they've excavated so that you can see the ruins of the entire town from the days of Jesus and his disciples.
Capernaum was the town that was the most spiritually moving to me, and I'm going to tell you all about it. Look for that post next week.
If you want to be sure to not miss it, comment below or send me a message, and I can tag you when I post it on Facebook, or you can also sign up to receive allll my posts, in my sidebar, but I do warn you that I post every week. Ha!!
Want to see more of my Israel trip? Here are a few of the other Israeli places I blogged about:

Our First Dreamer's First Major Milestone
On Monday, July 5th, our first dreamer – Miss Stella Maxwell of Austin, TX – landed in Denver for a week of scheming and dreaming.
For over a decade, Stella has honed her creative voice as a songwriter and lead vocalist for Cruiserweight, while also cultivating the next generation's creative community through after school programs, summer camps and overnight retreats. These two passions are now colliding. Stella'sdream is to celebrate Austin's creative community through a truly extraordinary youth performance. In June 2011, Stella and an all-star staff of local musicians, visual artists, film makers and more will host Camp Bull Shark—a four week summer camp for children ages 6—17. The festivities will culminate in the world premier production of Adam and the Bull Shark, written and directed by Stella Maxwell.
Stella is now a playwright. This week she began and completed a hilarious 32-page musical theater script – something she has been dreaming of doing for over six years! It is a HUGE accomplishment for Stella. Big things are happening!
