MINISTRY of iTaukei staff need to continuously come up with new ideas, implement modern management techniques, get corporate plans done properly, find better solutions to problems and ensure prudent utilisation of resources.
Their permanent secretary Savenaca Kaunisela made this comment during the launch of the ministry's corporate uniform in Suva on Monday, stressing that wearing the new uniform was one thing but performing to the best of their ability was another.
"We must continue to work together as a team, to improve our image, to work smarter to motivate others and to overcome challenges," Mr Kaunisela said.
"I must say our concerted effort is an encouraging sign of progress that places emphasis on honesty, team work, integrity, professional principles and high standard of service delivery.
"Our uniform will be worthless if we do not demonstrate our profession's work ethics at all times."
He said staff members should show others who they were and what they could do with enthusiasm and joy.
"As we re-look at our various responsibilities we need to be prepared to tackle high expectations from the people we serve."

Nearly 66,000 individuals in our four county service area live below the poverty level and have difficulty meeting their basic needs. Over 23,000 working age adults are unemployed. Even those working multiple jobs may be unable to provide for their families. After basics, there is often no money left to save for buying a home, sending kids to college or retiring. Just one unanticipated expense – a car break-down, an uninsured illness, a week without a paycheck – can lead to crisis.
United Way's Economic Independence goal is to move these families to financial stability and eventually to self-sufficiency. The programs we fund help them increase their earnings and build financial assets to better deal with unexpected expenses and support long-term goals.

What is Hajj?
Hajj literally means, "to continuously strive to reach one's goal." The Hajj, or Pilgrimage to Mecca, is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for those who have the physical and financial ability to undertake the journey.
Performing the rituals of Hajj provides a reminder of how the great prophets and teachers of faith established a deep and personal relationship with God. As the pilgrim makes his supplications to God, he realizes that He is asking of the same God that answered the prayers of those before him. These reminders are an important part of strengthening one's faith, trust and dependence in God.
The faithful hope that the Hajj will bring about a deep spiritual transformation, one that will make him or her a better person. If such a change from within does not occur, then the Hajj was merely a physical and material exercise devoid of any spiritual significance. As all great religions teach, we are more than mere physical creatures in that we possess an essence beyond the material world. Indeed, this is why all great religions have a tradition of pilgrimage. In the Islamic tradition, Hajj encapsulates this spiritual journey toward this essence. Hajj teaches one to show sincerity and humilty in one's relationship with God. The result of a successful Hajj is a rich inner peace, which is manifested outwardly in the values of justice, honesty, respect, generosity, kindness, forgiveness, mercy and empathy.

Dark Chocolate Blueberry Muffins
Over the weekend, Brent and I went to a friend's lake house in Pickwick. I was asked to bring a dessert, or a dip, or something for Breakfast. But I brought all three. Lesson learned – don't give me options because I will find great recipes for each and end up not being able to pick just one. Of course there were no complaints of excess food. You are welcome :-).
For Breakfast I made these muffins from Jessica at How Sweet It Is. The things she posts constantly are added to my bookmarked list, so I was really excited to get these into the oven. For some reason I was surprised by how quickly they came together. But I was not surprised in the slightest by how good they were. And then I had two for Breakfast.
1 cup 100% whole wheat all-purpose flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp dark cocoa powder
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup soy milk
1 cup blueberries
1/4 cup chopped dark chocolate
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with muffin liners.
- In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, brown sugar, cinnamon and mix until combined. Using a whisk, stir in the egg, vanilla, melted butter and milk. If the dough still appears too dry, add another tablespoon or 2 of milk. Fold in blueberries and chocolate.
- Using an ice cream scoop, spoon muffins into liners. Bake for 13-16 minutes, or until muffins are cooked through.

I saw those on her site the other day. They looked a little odd, but seemed like they should be good. Chocolate is good. Blueberries are good. Why not put them together? Glad you liked them!
These muffins look delicious Erin! What a great combination of flavors!! 🙂
How Sweet It Is really is a great blog and you certainly did her muffins justice!
What a great muffin! I love have not been to her site – now I am going to have to check it out for sure!
On my blueberry kick this year I haven't thought to pair them with chocolate. I get a duh for that! These look yummy!
What an interesting combo! I bet they are delicious! 🙂

There are many reasons why one might want an instructor to teach you how to windsurf. There are a coupe of reasons for which I believe you should definitely hire a windsurf instructor, especially in the initial stages of your learning. Windsurfing is an extremely technical sport in which a lot of details can be gotten wrong and internalized, hindering our progress.
As I just mentioned, learning how to windsurf on your own can be detrimental to your progress as there are a large number of things that you can do wrong. Elements such as keeping the front arm straight, avoiding the monkey stance or bending our back to pull the sail out of the water are crucial to get right from the first lesson. They are also elements which are very quickly forgotten which an instructor will detect as they occur and correct.
Tailored progress
While learning you will get loads of well intended advice from your friends. However, they might not necessarily know which your next learning step should be. Depending on the spot you are windsurfing in you might be better off learning the beachstart before learning to plane or using the harness. I have heard of kids in Hawaii or Isla Margarita that have skipped the gybe entirely and jumped straight to the front loop (although this is probably just your standard adolescent "getting ahead of ourselves" :)).
Aside from knowing which your next step on the learning ladder should be, an instructor will be able to tell you if you are even ready for the next step. Countless times I have had students wanting to learn to waterstart when the beachstart was not solid, or wanting to learn how to carve-gybe when they weren't planing properly.
We are talking about an extreme sport in a potentially dangerous environment. Having someone next to you while you are trying out a new maneuver is a very sensible thing to do. Many times my task for the hours lesson would be to "keep company" to students who did not feel safe at a new spot. I would accompany them with kit that was a little bit easier to handle so that if they grew tired by fighting for a waterstart in non-flat water, they could take over my gear and up-haul to sail back to the beach safely without being washed onto the rocks by the current.
Also, arriving at a new spot that is more challenging than, for example flat water, might give you a hard time. You can save yourself lots of frustration by just getting someone to check out how you are coping with the conditions like shore break or gusty winds and give you a few crucial pointers on how to save your energy or improve your control over the kit, etc.
To conclude, a windsurf instructor is a very smart decision when wanting to learn a new maneuver, arriving at a new spot or going back on the water after a longer break to file at your technique. Hiring an expert will shorten your learning curve and solidify shaky elements of your technique.

Regatta Budget
First the basics: The best way to manage your budget is to do a preliminary budget and then to regularly track your expenses and income against it. Monthly accounting will keep you aware of where you stand and help prevent your regatta from going into the red. With careful accounting and good fundraising, most regattas can manage at a minimum to break even and many can be profitable. US Sailing has a sample Budget Worksheet to get you started.
A regatta's budget includes but isn't limited to:
•Cash Sponsorship
•Sponsor Donations – i.e. Gifts in Kind that offset the expenses below
•Entry Fees
•Food! This includes:
•Race Committee Lunches
•Bottled Water or better still, water refilling stations
•Breakfast*, Lunch and Dinner*
*Optional for adults; required for juniors at US Sailing's championships (but not a qualifiers)
•Post racing entertainment
•Awards Ceremony
•Bow Numbers depending on the type of boat
•Sail Numbers depending on the event
•VHF Radios
•Safety Equipment
•Optional Gifts (for PRO, judges, host families or event chair) T-Shirts (Volunteers)
•Administration Costs (club waitstaff,rental fees, etc.)
•Photography – can sometimes be obtained for free in exchange for allowing the photographer to sell their work to the competitors.
•Shipment of materials back to sponsors or others like US Sailing – marks, banners and burgees
•Printing of an event program, sailing instructions, etc.

Cats, Needles, and Countries
I am writing while snuggling with a cat's bottom. The choice of snuggling ends is the cat's preference, not mine. Sadly, this is a rather excellent metaphor for the state of things. I am told some people come to the blog to feel cheery. If I disappoint, blame the cat. Her feline fanny does not allow my head to sit at any kind of normal angle. Soon, I fear, my chin will be forced into permanent fusion with my neck.
I don't know for what purpose, but spam comments like the following sometimes knock at the blog door.
Excellent article. Keep writing such kind of info on your site.
Hey there, You have performed an incredible job. I will definitely digg it and individually recommend to my
friends. I'm sure they'll be benefited from this website.
I imagine moments when the spam enemies materialize into something I could fight with. I meet a spam creator in a dark alley and tie them to a wall. I set up three record players. Three genres to play simultaneously: Bluegrass, Opera, Techno something or other. Every hour or so I turn down the volume and approach the captive, kindly holding out the means of release. When the captive believes me enough to hunger for release, I walk back to the records and turn up the volume.
Saturday the Pope said that a momentary outburst is forgivable but that rancour is really bad news. In my head the sun burst forward from the clouds. I wanted a sweatshirt. Momentary outburst equals forgivable offense, it could say on the front. I support a liberal use of the momentary outburst, would read the back. Rancour is not something I think of myself as struggling with. I like to imagine my offenses (by "my," I mean the other guy's) named, numbered, noted and then magnanimously forgiven.
My very first response to the rancour quote was not actually about sweatshirts. First thoughts were about how much I wanted to show it to a friend who struggles with rancour and finds outbursting people distasteful. After merrily working through slogan ideas for my sweatshirt, by way of small reproof I advised myself to find a bit of rancour (however small) within my own walls. Visions of rancour regarding entrenched institutions, technology abuses, and materialistic culture pressed quickly forward followed by faces of persons. The needle I thought I'd be looking for in the haystack turned out to be a densely populated country. Which kind of ruined the quote for me. I felt like I'd finally made it up to the front of the line after a lot of standing around waiting for deliverance only to find out it's the wrong stupid line. A sweatshirt with, I'm bitter about irritating people not changing, does not have the same victorious appeal. I'm not sure if it's a sign, but the aforementioned cat bottom continues to bow my head for me. So maybe not on the whole quote sharing with friend thing.

My journey began on August 19, 2013. Like most I was beaten down and desperate. Unlike some, I wasn't too sure if I had hit my bottom because by the grace of God my addiction did not land me in jail. I made a decision to put myself in detox. Knowing 7-10 days wasn't enough. I went to a 28 day facility where I began to learn about myself and my addiction. I then again decided to go further. On September 23rd, I was accepted to the Rea. Thinking I knew better I ended up leaving the Rea for a relationship to later find out they were actively using drugs. I called Haley and Marie begging to come back and telling them my situation. Marie told me if I wanted to come back I would have to prove some willingness. I would have to get out of there. So I did what they asked of me. That bottom I didn't hit while in active addiction, I hit at 45 days clean. I had to go to a shelter clawing and fighting to keep my recovery and get back to the Rea. For the first time in my life, I had to fend for myself and I was scared to death!
I will forever remember December 3rd because that is the day a guy hung himself and I walked in and helped get him down and tried to do CPR. Thank God we were able to get him to breathe again. He was also an addict. I saw that and realized if I was still using that could have been me. It was a very humbling experience for me that I am grateful for today. On December 9th I received a phone call that I was able to come back. This time I had a whole different outlook. I was willing to do whatever is asked of me so I didn't go through all of that again.
The hardest thing I dealt with while at the house was not being able to see my daughter. My family lives five hours away so every time I would get my hopes up something always happened and it would break my heart. I was just so hurt I just became a wreck. Marie told me to never forget that hurt or that pain because when I do get her back it will be that more precious and I will never want to lose her and feel it again. I graduated from the Rea in June and now I'm living in the apartments with my daughter. I now have over 2 years clean.
This program has made a huge impact on my life. I'm rebuilding my relationship with my loved ones. My daughter is learning who her "real" mommy is and it's absolutely amazing! It is truly a blessing. The Rea has taught me how to be a self-sufficient member. I never knew what it was like to be an adult and have responsibilities. I have been given a second chance to live my life and make something of myself! I'm proud of what I have accomplished in life. I'm clean and that alone is a miracle. One thing I never thought was possible was integrity; I never even could have imagined it. Today I care about doing the next right thing whether I'm by myself or if someone is right there. I'm very grateful for where I am today and for all that has been so freely given to me.
I'm going to tell you a little about how I ended up at the Rea of Hope. I come from a normal family with a few dysfunctional members, my mom and dad. I started drinking and using drugs around fourteen. But throughout my early twenties it remained recreational. It wasn't until I was 28 and had three children that I was introduced to Oxy's and Roxy's. It was then that I realized I depended on a drug. The second time my children were taken by CPS I decided to go to detox and get clean. No treatment, no program. I just didn't use for over a year. During that year I got my kids back, took care of them, cleaned house. Life was good again. But then the pressures of being a single mom got to me.
This time I turned to alcohol. I started out with a bottle of wine a day, and then progressed to a box of wine every three days. I didn't want to do anything. I didn't clean, I didn't shower, I took no pride in anything. I did the bare minimum with my kids. Eventually it all caught up with me. CPS took my girls for a third time. I went to detox and then my sister's house. Everyone told me that I needed long term treatment but I so did not want to believe it. I heard about the Rea of Hope and called. I was told that I had to go to do 28 days somewhere first. So I got into Pinecrest in Huntington. I absolutely hated it. I got a bed here at the Rea and expected to hate it just as much. Boy was I surprised to find out I didn't hate it at all. I actually love being here. I came here because I wanted to get my girls back. But now I'm here for me.
The state absolutely did not want to give me another chance. Back in June I had a hearing to determine whether I would get an improvement period. I had thought about ways to kill myself because I couldn't imagine a life without my girls. But now, one year later, I am through my improvement period and have regained custody of all three of my daughters. Everything is looking good. The promises come true for me every day. I am so thankful for the Rea of Hope giving me a chance. I graduated on December 30, 2014. Today, I am living in New Life Apartments with my girls. I have so much to look forward to. I don't know where I'd be if it weren't for the Rea of Hope. But I'm sure I wouldn't be living the amazing life I am today.
This will be the third Christmas I am celebrating clean and sober. Although I have put in the foot work the Rea of Hope has helped me immensely in becoming the woman that I am today. Just as a recap from last year, I am 26 years old and from Wheeling, WV. My addiction started in 2007 when I was injured during my first semester at WVU. The prescriptions I was given sent me into a downward spiral that I spent seven painful years enduring. My clean date is December 20, 2012 and my first day at the Rea of Hope was January 31, 2013.
This has been my second full year here at the Rea and I have been given so much. The staff and residents have played an instrumental part in my recovery. Never before have I had women to look up to and model my life after. That in itself is a gift I could never reciprocate. Being around women that have many years of recovery and women that barely have a month or two continues to show me that every single day is a miracle when you come from where we do. I am reminded on a daily basis that simply existing is a gift. Today I live a life that I would have never thought possible and it wouldn't be without the guidance, support, and family I have found here.
Within the last year I have accomplished many things. In March I was able to pay off my fines to get my license back and in June I was able to pay off my restitution, which ended probation and all of my legal issues. Without being employed at the Rea I don't know if I would have been able to meet these goals. In October I applied for a scholarship the Rea of Hope has to offer for New Life Residents upon successful completion. Being granted the scholarship I was able to have a down payment for a vehicle and pay six months of insurance and car payments. Having a vehicle is an absolute must with a baby on board. I saved the best part for last. I just gave birth to my very first child, a beautiful, healthy little baby boy named Vincent David Pazos. The women at the Rea have been very supportive throughout the entire pregnancy. This child and I have not needed for anything and I find great comfort in that. Being a new mother is by far the hardest and most overwhelming thing I've ever been through but with the help and support here I have great faith that I'll be able to make it as a mom.
In the last two years of being clean, living at the Rea and NLA, being a member of a 12 step fellowship, and participating in service work; I have learned how to love myself and how to love other people. Two years ago that is something I would have been completely incapable of doing. Without learning to be responsible and self-sufficient there is no way I could give my child the love and care he deserves. I have learned that here. Everything I know about being a productive adult I have learned here as I have chosen to follow by example. The Rea of Hope has opened many doors for me which otherwise I wouldn't have known were there. My son never has to know the pain and despair of active addiction as long as I follow the ways I have been shown here, and that is the greatest gift of all.
I know a lot of love and support goes into the Rea of Hope from you and the other board members. A million words couldn't express the gratitude I feel towards the Rea and everyone who plays a part in keeping this program up and running. This program saves lives, it surely did mine.
I have been free of drugs and alcohol for over seven months. Without the help and guidance of the Rea of Hope, that likely would have been impossible.
I fell in love with OxyContin at the age of twelve. I spent my adolescence doing a variety of drugs. At thirteen I learned how to properly light a crack stem. I lost many nights to alcohol and Xanax, but opiates were my first love. Despite my extracurricular activities, I graduated college with a promise scholarship. I had many trophies and awards for both academics and athletics. It would seem as if I was destined for great things, but I knew better. I knew that I was three months pregnant with my drug dealer.
I had always looked down on addicts. I had used drugs for many years without the sickness that they claimed. It only took a couple of weeks of daily use to learn the true terror of withdrawal. I soon found a new man who would support my growing habit. We spent the next five years intranasally abusing prescription opiates, but pills became more expensive and harder to find. Then there was heroin. I had only used heroin for a couple of months before the needle became more appealing. I had always looked down on intravenous users. I felt I was better than someone, until I wasn't anymore.
Within three months of using the needle, I stole from my mother, and she pressed charges. The threat of neither jail nor child protective services could deter me. I continued to use heroin until I was incarcerated for the first time, less than a year after first using the needle. I was lucky enough to be accepted into drug court, an alternative corrections program. Still, I smoked fake weed daily and used when I thought I could get away with it. I had wanted to stop living that way for years, but despite my opportunities, I continued to use. I went to jail a few more times for failing a screen or neglecting my responsibilities. The last time I was sent to jail I was told that I would not get out until I was accepted into a rehabilitation facility. I was resistant. I was upset. I didn't need rehab.
Two weeks into a 28 day program I had my first realization. I needed long term treatment, and if I wanted a better way of life, I needed to leave my husband with whom I had used for years. It is amazing what a little time and distance can do for an addict like me. I am so grateful that treatment centers are available to those that want to utilize them, and to those like me, who need a little shove into recovery.
I feel so fortunate to have gotten a bed at the Rea of Hope. While I haven't been in any other fellowship homes for recovering women, I can say with an almost certainty that none could have been as beneficial to me. I have formed relationships with the women here that I wasn't open to before, both residents and staff. I have a newfound appreciation for the fellowship that is growing every day. I have found a new way of life in the rooms, and an increasing optimism for a future centered in continued abstinence and recovery.
I have improved health and happiness evident in both my appearance and demeanor. It is so rewarding to receive positive affirmations from those who can see the change in me, sometimes more than I can see it myself. I can go to work every day without concern of having enough drugs to get me through a shift. I pride myself on a work ethic I never knew before. My coworkers appreciate my presence and my bosses value my dedication. I was offered a recommendation to take home with me. That never would have happened in my unemployable days of active addiction. I have a bank account, and it isn't overdrawn.
Today, I am capable of being honest with myself and others. I have the trust of my family and friends, and the foundation in recovery that will make completing drug court possible. Thanks to the Rea of Hope and an alternative corrections program, I will not be a felon.
I can be the person I was meant to be years ago, before my drug lust made me abandon all other interests and potential. I can be a good mother to my son, a proper example of adulthood, and a mother that he can be proud of. Even greater than improving my life, the Rea of Hope has given the next generation a mother, possibly ending the viscous cycle of addiction for my son.
I wish that I could fully express my gratitude for everyone involved in this miracle, but I have learned that the best way to do that is to pay it forward. I have big plans to do great things, and when I do, you will see me again, giving away what was so freely given to me.

For the pets (cetera)
Updated 2:03 pm, Wednesday, December 12, 2012
Urban dogs may be urbane and country dogs rough-and-tumble, but they both enjoy a good meal.

Geocaching is an entertaining adventure game that could be considered Treasure Hunting in the 21st Century. It is a simple, fun, family friendly, geeky hobby / game that anyone can play! A cache (or 'treasure chest') is hidden somewhere, its coordinates are recorded (in latitude and longitude), and published on a website (the most popular is www.geocaching.com). Using these coordinates and a GPS unit or a smart phone, someone else can try and find the hidden cache.
A typical cache contains "treasure" (aka trinkets) and a log book. When found, an item can be taken from the cache as long as another item (of equal or greater value) is left in its place. A message is written in the cache log book by the visitor (Typically: the date the cache was found, their name, and any comments they might have). The visitor can visit the website and post comments there as well.
Geocaching can be played by anyone, and the caches can be located anywhere on Earth (currently there are over 2.3 million caches hidden in just about every country in the world!) They are stashed near the Pyramids, floating in underwater caves, or they might be down the street at your local park! Team PodCacher has found hundreds of caches all around San Diego county. We often go searching for caches when we travel and have been brought to places that we would have not otherwise visited. All you need is a GPS unit or smart phone, Internet access, and a sense of adventure. Just don't forget to bring something to put back into the cache.
What is a GPS device?
A GPS (Global Positioning System) unit is a electronic device that can determine your approximate location (within 6-20 feet) on the planet. Once you input the coordinates of the cache, you can use the unit to navigate from your current location to the location of the cache.
You can purchase a GPS unit for under $100.
What kind of "treasure" is in a cache?
Although occasional caches may contain movie passes, DVDs, or prepaid phone cards, most contain inexpensive trinkets (keychains, action figures, rubber balls, etc.) The real reward is the journey, adventure and destination. Many people have found interesting spots that they would have not otherwise visited if not for the hunt.

Trial date set for Texas School Coalition lawsuit
April 18, 2012 at 4:04 p.m.
Updated April 17, 2012 at 11:18 p.m.
A judge has set a trial date for the 86 school districts challenging the constitutionality of the state school finance system.
Calhoun County school district is listed as the primary plaintiff in the Texas School Coalition lawsuit, which will go to court on Oct. 22.
The Refugio school district is also listed among the property-wealthy districts claiming the Legislature hasn't allocated enough money into schools to meet the constitutional mandate for an "adequate" education.
The schools contend that because so many districts are taxing at the maximum allowable rate, the school property tax has effectively become a statewide property tax, which is unconstitutional in Texas.
The state is "co-opting the school districts' taxing authority, so it's become a de facto state property tax," said Mark Trachtenberg, one of the attorneys representing the school districts.
State District Judge John Dietz is presiding over the trial.


text:
The office of the state attorney has until Jan. 14 to file the particulars in its charge against City of St. Augustine Commissioner Errol Jones that he tampered with a witness, according to a court order signed Wednesday by County Court Judge Alexander Christine.
Jones had been charged with resisting an officer without violence after an Oct. 22 incident involving a reported assault between two women about 11:30 p.m. at 60 Julia St.
Arriving officers said Jones interfered with their investigation as soon as they arrived, grabbing hold of an officer's wrist and then resisting when two officers tried to cuff him.
This week, he found himself facing a second misdemeanor - tampering with a witness in a misdemeanor proceeding.
But at a hearing Tuesday, Christine told Assistant State Attorney Ben Rich to refile the information on the tampering charge against Jones to describe better the actions that violated the law.
"Please provide more specificity about the time, place and individuals (involved)," Christine said at the time.
Jones had been scheduled for a pre-trial Thursday, but the date was continued to Feb. 7, according to St. Johns County Clerk of Court records.
Conviction on a misdemeanor can lead up to one year in jail, but it would not mean Jones would have to vacate his city commission seat.
His term of office ends this year.

This is Not Compliance
Sometimes you see a careless disregard for the rules governing private funds and investment advisers. Last week Krista Lynn Ward, the CEO/CCO of Calhoun Asset Management, settled fraud charges with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Her problems are probably common for start-up managers.
Calhoun and Ward entered into an Order Making Findings (.pdf) with the SEC, but neither admitted nor denied the facts. I'll assume the statements in the Order are true for educational purposes.
Assets Under Management
In 2006, Ward started two hedge funds: Triumph Multi-Series Fund (later renamed Calhoun Multi-Series Fund LP) and Calhoun Market Neutral Fund. Ward attracted capital to the Funds by aggressively marketing herself as an experienced hedge fund manager, despite having no experience in portfolio management.
In filling out a due diligence questionnaire for a potential investors, Ward state that the firm grew from $27 million in assets under management in 1999 to $200 million. However, the firm never had more than $3 million in assets under management.
I understand the desire of fund managers to puff up the AUM number. After all, that dollar amount often stands for measure of success. However, the calculation of AUM needs to be documented and defensible. Lies can easily be detected and puffery will raise red flags.
The fund marketing materials refer to a 10-year track record with 11+% average annual returns. Ward failed to maintain the documentation supporting this track record. Ward only maintained records dating back to 2007. In a PowerPoint presentation, Ward included a full-page chart of monthly and annual performance returns from 1999 through 2009. The legend at the bottom of the page states that "[t]hese returns represent our flagship fund, Calhoun Fund SPC, Ltd." Calhoun Fund SPC, Ltd. However, the fund did not commence operations until January 1, 2007.
The SEC rules are very clear that any statements in marketing materials about performance must be well documented. Calhoun's overstatement should be easily detected with a little due diligence by a prospective investor.
Due Diligence
Calhoun promoted its due diligence capabilities in its marketing materials. This included regular monitoring, performance reviews, and on-site visits. "We take every precaution necessary to complete thorough due diligence and research on every manager we recommend" (emphasis in original).
The truth was that Calhoun's actual due diligence was virtually nonexistent. Ward did not even perform the due diligence herself. Instead, she outsourced the due diligence to a third party, and that third party did little actual diligence.
Form ADV
Of course, lying to the SEC will really get you. On the Forms ADV she filed with the SEC, Ward repeatedly misrepresented assets under management.
Ward first registered Calhoun as an investment adviser on August 31, 2007. On Calhoun's Form ADV, Ward stated that Calhoun had $30 million in assets under management. In reality Calhoun had less than $6 million under management. On February 18, 2009, Ward filed an amendment to the ADV showing $79.8 million in assets under management. In reality, Calhoun had approximately $7 million under management.
Lying is bad. Unlike a fisherman's tale about the one that got away, fund managers are expected to document their tales in detail.
Ward has to pay a $50,000 fine and is barred from the securities industry for five years.

So, in case you don't know, I'm going it alone with my monthly movie reviews from now on. This is my first solo effort. It's mostly the same review I've been doing with some minor changes. I'd love for you to leave comments or responses to any of the questions I pose. Thanks for sticking with me through this transition.
If anyone is interested in my experience of watching Zootopia, click here to see my notes.
This review will consist of me asking myself 10 questions and answering them to the best of my ability.
1. What is this film about?
In an animated world where mammals are the peoples of the world, mammals have evolved. Predators and Prey live together in harmony, mostly. At the center of this utopia is the great metropolis of Zootopia. It's a city, a jungle, tundra, and more where a bunny has a chance to live out her dream of becoming a police officer. When the country bunny hits the big city, she quickly learns that Zootopia isn't the Mecca she hoped it would be; plus, there's a mystery to be solved to which no one believes a bunny can do.
It took me a while to realize that there were no reptile, bird, or other talking animal characters. At least I don't think so.
2. What did I think of the title, poster, and or trailer?
I'm really disappointed that I missed this in the theater. It just wasn't in the cards for me. I remember thinking the movie looked cute; plus, I love animals and figured that there was probably some great social lesson to be learned in the end. But if I'm being totally honest, the main reason I wanted to see this was because of the Sloth clip.
3. What did I think of the main character(s) and how the actors performed them?
I thought the voices fit the characters well. I especially thought Bateman, Idris, and Slate fit their characters perfectly. I know there must be a lot that goes into making a voice come alive and match up with an animated image, but for me, it's hard to judge whether or not they really performed well. I either like the match or I don't.
4. What did I think of the direction and cinematography?
Again, when it comes to animated movies, I don't know how much cinematography makes a difference, but in terms of direction, I get it. Someone has to decide if the voices sound right and match up, someone has to make sure what's going on the background applies but doesn't detract, etc… I'd say Byron Howard and Rich Moore did a great job conveying so much emotion in such a lighthearted setting.
5. What did I think of the soundtrack and score?
I enjoyed the soundtrack and score. They seem to go together well; songs coming in at the right moments that were built up by the score. I liked the use of popular music and the original song performed by Shakira.
6. What did I like about the story as a whole?
I thought the best part of the story were there not-so-hidden social messages that overflowed in this story. I could see small children missing some of them, but any adult who didn't pick up on these messages were in denial. Themes of racism, bullying, discrimination, stereotypes, and more filled this story and I truly appreciate that.
7. What did I not like about the story?
Even though I saw it coming, I didn't like who the villain ended up being. I understand that it was all a part of teaching the lesson that we humans still haven't learned. Oppression will eventually make some people angry and desperate in dangerous ways. We have to stop keeping people down.
Without giving too much away, I wish the movie had addressed some ways in which the Zootopia community was going to keep other "underdogs" from doing crazy stuff like the villain did.
8. Would I recommend this movie to others and what would I rate this movie?
Yes, I would totally recommend this film. Even if viewers don't get the social messages, it's very entertaining. I did actually LOL a few times.
On a scale of 1 to 5 movie reels, I give this film 5 reels.
9. Is there anything I would have changed or done differently?
I think I would have tried to include the entire animal kingdom, but who knows; there may be a very good reason Disney didn't go there with this story.
10. Was there anything in this movie that could be related to me or anything I have written?
I have not yet attempted a tale with talking animals as the main characters, but I'd love to give it a try. In any case, I do often slip in some sort of social message in my writing; sometimes I do it without even realising I'm doing it.
Watch, rent, or buy this movie here.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. If you like it let me know and share it with others. See you next time, Toi Thomas. #thetoiboxofwords

When I got pregnant with T I was completely horrified. I wasn't ready to be a mom, I wasn't sure I wanted to be a mom; I wanted the whole situation to go away. Eventually I came around, although I never enjoyed actually being pregnant.
The day we found about this baby I was so excited I didn't know what to do with myself. I kept running up to Z and chanting, "I'M PREGNANT! I'M PREGNANT! I'M PREGGIE PREGGIE PREGNANT!" Later that night he told me it was so awesome to see me happy about the baby, it was such a relief to him. It really made me pause. I was so selfish about my reaction to the first pregnancy. I never thought about the impact it had on Z. I can't help but feel like the loss of this baby is punishment for my attitude about the first pregnancy.
Motherhood is another example of how I so often have no idea what is good for me. Much to my surprise I love being a mother. Even more surprising, I love being a stay at home mom. I look at T and I know I am supposed to be doing this.
I wanted this baby so much. Part of my need for another baby was undoubtedly hormones. What with the preeclampsia and left behind placenta I initially thought I was done after one. So many people told me I would forget about the pain of childbirth, forget about the discomfort and humiliation of pregnancy and want to have another. Man that burned me up. Those terrible experiences were etched with crystal clarity on my brain, there was no way I was forgetting a single detail.
But those women were right. The memories of pregnancy, of being nauseous 24 hours a day, of peeing all the time, of not being able to sleep on my stomach (the only way I can get a decent night sleep) faded. If I don't let myself think too much I don't remember the terrible time I had in labor. I don't know about you guys, but I like to think I am different. No one is going to know how I'm going to react to a situation, damn it! But the reality is I am not different at all.
All weekend I've been waiting for Tuesday so we can stop being in this limbo. Now that it is here I feel like I need more time. In a few hours I might have definitive answers, which means the fantasy of everything being OK, of the pregnancy being viable will be taken away. Suddenly I am OK with the fear pressing down on my chest if it means there is a tiny chance I could still be pregnant. I don't know how I am going to pull it together to get dressed and make it to the doctor office. I want to hide in my house, on my sofa wrapped in my old blanket forever.
If the miracle happens and I am still pregnant I'm also worried about the stress I've experienced this weekend. I've had an anxiety attack in addition to the constant symptoms like increased heart rate, upset stomach, and lightheadedness. That stuff can't be good for a fetus. But I didn't know how to get through this weekend without freaking out. For the last 6 weeks I have told myself I don't need my chill pills because they would hurt the baby. But man, I can't pretend I don't need one now. I guess that is the trade off. Lose the baby; gain the ability to drug myself up. Suddenly the drugs don't seem worth it.

The media field should use the same list of default file types as the media browser.
I just tried using a fresh install of Media 2.x-dev and it worked as expected (maybe this was fixed at some point), so you might want to update to the latest development release of media and see if new fields receive more sensible defaults.

LDAP support can be almost trivially added to NetBSD's nsswitch, probably without changing any existing program which does A&A, not even /usr/bin/login or ftpd, etc. (though without knowing more details about how the authentication information is stored in a M$ LDAP database I'm not 100% certain of that last claim -- but perhaps what's left can be hidden quite easily in passwd.conf(5) et al and crypt(3)). I also suspect the code from the PAM LDAP module could be adapted to fit, though I know nothing of its relative quality and maleability. In an ideal world the patches to add the nsswitch API hooks could be fed back to the PAM LDAP authors for ease of future re-integration too. The immediate major benefit of such integration over use of PAM (other than the fact that it can be done today in released NetBSD code) is that it guarantees full LDAP support in even static-linked programs (something that cannot be done with PAM even if PAM were ported to any existing NetBSD release from, say, FreeBSD). -- Greg A.

ADO's new season got off to a start at home to PSV Eindhoven which turned out to be quite a feisty affair. After last seasons hammerings, a 1-6 home defeat and a 7-0 drubbing in Eindhoven, I think most supporters were just hoping to see a closer game.
From the kick-off it was clear to see this was not going to be boring. Both sides pushing forward and the tackles were flying in hard from the off. Referee Bas Nijhuis again seemed to be favouring the opposition over ADO, something that seems to happen on an all too regular basis. Both sides were tough in the tackle, there was no real dirty foul play, yet three yellows to ADO and one to PSV.
ADO put a lot pf pressure on the PSV goal, Cabral and van Duinen having efforts, whilst from free-kicks and corners Beugelsdijk and Jansen were putting themselves in hard on the keeper Jeroen Zoet hoping to force errors, it was good determined play from the home side.
Despite the fair share of play, ADO fans began to watch yet another PSV disaster materialize in front of their eyes as they took a three goal lead with thirty minutes.
In the twelfth minute the visitors took the lead after Stijn Schaars beat two defenders before passing the ball on to Georginio Wijnaldum to beat Coutinho, 0-1.
In the twenty fifth minute Wijnaldum crossed the ball into the ADO penalty area. ADO captain Danny Holla rose to head the ball clear but only succeeded in looping the ball high over Coutinho into the back of his own net, 0-2.
On the half hour ADO went further behind after Jetro Willems was allowed time to pick his spot to make it 0-3.
The good thing to come from this was to see that the heads of the ADO players did not drop. They continued to fight and in the forty third minute from a cross by Ninos Gouriye on the right, Holla swept the ball right footed into the corner of the net, making up for his earlier error, 1-3.
At the start pf the second half, Mitchell Schet replace Gouriye; now ADO had two quick wingers on the pitch, both Schet and Jerson Cabral twisting PSV defenders inside and out. ADO went looking for another goal but PSV were strong and withstood a concerted effort by the home side to get a vital goal.
Due to a pause for players to take on water and some minor scuffles between players the referee added an extra five minutes of play. In the first of these an attempted clearance by PSV's Jeffrey Bouma was completely missed, the ball falling to Mike van Duinen who kept his cool and slotted the ball into the far corner, 2-3.
Crowd favourite Beugelsdijk was roaring at the fans to get behind the players, the supporters responded with passion. ADO had four minutes to grab and equalizer and pushed PSV until the final whistle.
After the game manager Maurice Steijn said he saw some great stuff from his team, great spirit and against a team as good as PSV he was not too down hearted, there were a lot of positives to be taken from the game.
ADO man of the Match: Tom Beugelsedijk
Attendance: 13,120

Posts Tagged 'Avis'
I don't typically agree with Canadians, nor do I have much affinity to things Canadian. Their health care system is deadly, it's too cold, they play hockey rather than baseball, etc.
Good things from Canada? Vince, my favorite rental car guy who owns the Avis franchise at Bell and 3rd Street in north Phoenix; bacon that goes well with pineapple on pizza; a less restrictive atmosphere for film-making and T.V. production; Evangeline Lilly (Kate on the awesome-ist T.V. show Lost).
A new thing I like from Canada is this commentary about DHS Secretary Napolitano, entitled "The Border for Dummies." Ouch.
Can someone please tell us how U. S. Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano got her job? She appears to be about as knowledgeable about border issues as a late-night radio call-in yahoo.
In an interview broadcast Monday on the CBC, Ms. Napolitano attempted to justify her call for stricter border security on the premise that "suspected or known terrorists" have entered the U. S. across the Canadian border, including the perpetrators of the 9/11 attack.
All the 9/11 terrorists, of course, entered the United States directly from overseas. The notion that some arrived via Canada is a myth that briefly popped up in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, and was then quickly debunked.
Informed of her error, Ms. Napolitano blustered: "I can't talk to that. I can talk about the future. And here's the future. The future is we have borders."
Just what does that mean, exactly?
What does she mean? That is a great question, but don't expect a straight answer.

Get your free e-book at this Digital Book Signing
Now here's a deal! Anyone who wants a free e-book of the new US edition of Findependence Day — or three books by other authors — can do so at a "Digital Book Signing" next Thursday. Just click here to register, then join us Thursday, July 18th at 3:30 pm EST. I'll be one of four authors featured. Everyone who signs in will be emailed a BookStub [see illustration] signed by me (or other authors), immediately following the event.
For those for whom the concept of a digital book signing may be novel — it was to me as well! — click here for a short introduction to the concept or this 2011 New York Times article, Would you sign my Kindle?
In the case of the US edition of Findependence Day, readers who have already bought the hard-copy Canadian edition can now get the e-book at no extra cost. The story is much the same as the original but it's all set in the United States, the financial terms are all American, there's a new glossary and it includes end-of-chapter summaries of the key financial concepts learned. Apart from the Kindle, you can get the book on the Nook, iPad and most other popular e-book formats, or indeed in a format readable on laptop or desktop computers.
Of course, you don't need to have previously bought the book to take advantage of this short window: those who have happened on this web site and were curious can now satisfy their curiosity without spending one thin dime: Canadian or American! Guerrilla frugality at its finest — hoist by my own petard!
The other three authors and their featured books are:
L.D. Nascimento; The Curse of The Golden City and The Path to the Fallen Stars
Andrew Bernstein; California Slim
Daryl Edwards, The Guardian Corps and Book One—The Argent
Obviously, we all hope to create a bit of word-of-mouth for our respective books and ultimately to stimulate actual sales. In the case of Findependence Day I'd encourage anyone who does download the book and enjoys it to post a short review at Amazon.com, which is one of the main ways the book can be purchased (whether Kindle, paperback or hardcover). Here is a sample of half a dozen recent mini-reviews of the new edition at Amazon (click on Newest reviews first).
Recent Reviews of US edition of Findependence Day
Here is a link to several other recent reviews that appeared in and around the American Independence Day. This is a link to the Reviews tab elsewhere on this site: they appear four lines down and are grouped together to distinguish them from older reviews of the first edition.
Finally, below is the summary of key concepts covered in Chapter 4 (see earlier blog posts for the first three; others will be posted over the coming weeks):
Chapter 4: Baby You're a Rich Man
The concept of Human Capital
• A "Frooger" is a Frugality Guerrilla.
• Froogers make frugality a lifetime habit: first to eliminate debt; later to build wealth.
• Part of being frugal entails tracking expenses and making a budget.
• If your employer has a pension plan, you'd be wise not to pass up the "free money."
• Teachers and government workers like Sheena enjoy "Cadillac" Defined Benefit (DB) pension plans where you know exactly how much you'll receive in retirement.
• Younger tech firms like Jamie's employer are more likely to offer 401(k) retirement plans that go up or down with the stock and bond markets.
• Once you're free of all consumer debt, employees should start an IRA or Individual Retirement Account. Uncle Sam gives you a generous tax break as an incentive – as long as you're not also covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan like a 401(k) or 403(b).
• You can save $5,500 a year in an IRA, or $6,500 if you're over 50.
• You're richer than you think means young people are rich in "human capital" – millions in future earning potential.
• To get diversified long-term growth in the stock market, consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or index mutual funds.
• ETFs and index funds are cheaper than most mutual funds because they track broad stock market indexes like the S&P500.

Sydney is a mystery dog. Though she looks a lot like a German Shepherd, she weighs under 30 pounds. We'd love to know what she is mixed with but have no idea because she was a stray when we adopted her. Her vet says she is very smart, she learned most of her tricks when she was just 3/4 months old and is pretty obedient except for her barking when people walk by "her property". She is very friendly and lovable.View Profile

While there is still a months-long waiting list for the Corvette C7, GM has done a pretty good job of getting its latest supercar into the hands of eager customers. In turn, these customers are turning to their preferred tuning shops, like Redline Motorsports, in order to extract the maximum performance potential from their already-powerful rides.
The obvious choice for a supercar of this magnitude is to strap a supercharger to the LT1 engine, which is what GM did with the 2015 Corvette Z06. Redline Motorsports followed the same path in the pursuit of more performance, but choosing an East Coast Superchargers Novi 1500 over the Eaton unit in the 2015 Z06. The result though is still the same; tons of power, and plenty of torque.
The sexy Laguna Seca Blue C7 gets strapped to the dyno in this video in a bit of shop showmanship, using a camera slide to really heighten the production values. Unfortunately the sound isn't as good as we'd like, and the whine of the supercharger is overshadowed by the throaty roar of the 6.2 liter LT1 engine. First world problems…
By now you're probably wondering what kind of power this supercharger C7 makes, and Redline didn't disappoint, delivering a massive 580 horsepower at the rear wheels. Given a conservative 15% drivetrain loss, that means the supercharged LT1 engine is making somewhere in the 660 horsepower range at the flywheel. Torque settles in at an almost-as-impressive 539 pound-feet, which should easily send this Corvette down the drag strip in the low 10s, if not the single digits.
We'd like to see how it lines up against GM's own take on the supercharged Corvette. Who would you put your money on?

Ehh no tanks is to much of a clusterfuck for me. I didn't really enjoy scenarios but maybe next expansion they might improve.
To me the current class role model is outdated but the system itself is not. What I dislike at the moment is that Tanks and healers are given the most importance in a group while DPS are just cannon fodder. Sure tanks and healer cant deal good damage like dps's but the fact that they can outlast them is my main issue; Survivability. Tanks and healers have excellent survivability through heals and defensive CD's or the combination of both while DPS's only have some medicore defensive CD's apart form Warrior's and Rogue's who have decent survivability in the form of high parry/Die by the sword and high dodge/vanish respectively.
Such a defensive system is flawed and will only favour some classes/spec's while leaving the rest to rot. What I am trying to say is that the balance of survivability should be redistributed and overhauled toward Dps's to make the class and by extension make the class roles more balanced. the class role division is to great and therefore diversifies the class too much. the way I see survivability and damage are the main factor that define a class role. Melee Dps's such as non-tank warrior's, DK's and Paladin's should have a degree of tankiness while non-plate's such as Enhancement shamans and WW monks should have less but be more tougher then their Caster/healer counterparts. I think that the best way to make the class role more effective in regards to melee survivability and balancing tanks and healer survivability would to be for the overall survivability of the class roles/Spec's to be like this: Healer -> Caster -> Melee -> Tank . The Idea of still having melee's that could fill in for brief time as "sub tanks" would be the first step in giving melee DPS more survivability. Right now I Meless are all as fragile as cloth casters or rouges which is not right and should be allowed to stand as it is, Speaking of Rouge the current Raid set-up is more in favour of them, having to deal damage form behind and having the nearly the same level of durability as other melees while being able to vanish/stealth. the main goal of the class is to deal extreme amount of DPS in a short period of time but lack a lot of durability, check. the whole melee DPS role to more or less based on rouge but in a fundamentally lazy and flawed way.
But tanks should not be removed from the game. but if they get all of the defensive power while all the other roles get scraps then I believe there is something wrong with the role balance. Having tanks being the last line of defence while protecting 8-23 healer's and DPS's who barely have even a quarter of they toughness is not right to me. The roles now are all about doing the best Tanking, healing or DPS, the best specs are the ones that can do their job the best while the worst are the ones that can't do alot of healing/DPS or tank well, Spec's are being forced to carry out the main task of the chosen role and nothing else. The roles of spec should be able to have a bit of hybridization, for example Enhancement shamans should able to do a bit of healing, range dps and tanking, While arms warrior's should able to tank better then and enhacement shaman due to plate and better close-combat abilities but should not be as good as and prot warrior. Being able to do more and having more freedom to do more damage, healing or tanking based on their class and spec.
P.S Sorry for the messy typing. It was late when I posted this and I got tired.

Nihilism is not the end but the beginning of what is real. Making something out of nothing.Yeah I'm an Asshole but I'd rather be critical as fuck than to sugarcoat everything in fear of offending people. Get tough and endure.There IS a difference between an Arab and a Muslim and not all muslims are uber religious, too bad people are too afraid to say in fear of being branded a racist.
There's a reason why every game that tries to get rid of the trinity ends up as a clusterfuck or a failure. Because it's a key aspect of the genre. There are elements to MMOs that will always be there: Quests, Raids, Dungeons, Tanks, Healers, DPS etc. They might take on different names but they've taken decades to develop over many different games and theres a reason why they work so well and why trying to avoid them doesn't. Because that is an MMO. Now if you were to argue that vertical progression is outdated versus horizontal progression, then yeah that's true. But class roles will always be an aspect of any successful MMO.
You don't need the trinity in PVE. You just design your mobs and encounters around other teamwork concepts.
The greatest barrier is getting people to be willing to learn a new system of organized PVE. A lot of people could not adjust to GW2 and just gave up quickly. I believe EQN is ditching the common trinity as well. The hardest job for each dev that tries this is to introduce new concepts and get people to observe, learn and value them.
There's nothing particularly more tactical about the trinity. In fact, I feel WoW began reusing fight ideas years ago and the encounters started to get stale. You can do new things and new ideas without the trinity. It's really just a matter of encounter design and getting people to open up their minds.
I don't think they're outdated but I do think that single role classes are in the current game in its current design.
"If you have to believe it on faith, you have no reason to believe it at all." Aron Ra
Honestly, I think a I'd like to see a new game gravitate more towards the original EQ model where there were like 7 different roles, instead of to no defined roles.
EQ had yank, healer, damage dealer, puller, buffer, debuffer, crowd control.
Obviously it makes it more difficult to organize, but I think that having some sort of defined role inherently encourages strategy and makes combat a more interesting and more managable experience.
I'm not sure we would get very far if we didn't have tanks or healers
I was the healer in that case, which was frustrating because in my main DPS spec I'd have been doing literally five times what the group's DPS was.
Not having any class roles, can't imagine that. It's not outdated, it's a low guideline as well. Though needed, I find.
Stuff can be fixed, just get enough glue or duct tape!
Roses are red, mana is blue. Suramar Guards, Will always find you!
There is a place for a tank-less genre of MMO gaming. I don't believe that WoW should spearhead that charge because they have a very defined system in place and they do it really well. Yes, there is the issue of a lack of tanks and how much groups have to rely on having good tanks. That is a challenge for Blizzard to overcome though.
I personally love tanking (and healing, but mostly tanking) and I have been nothing but supportive of the move towards more active and less passive tanking. Removing stats such as Defense back in the day, following with Dodge and Parry (on gear, not as a concept) and focusing more on short, on-use abilities and spatial awareness has been a lot of fun. Tanking shouldn't be a subset of jst DPSing - I think the worst of it was around Wotlk/Cata.

I'm all down for convenience to have a significant role in RPG's, but at some point you have to realize how damaging it can be. LFR/LFD allowed people to que for dungeons/heroics w/o having to go out of their way to find a group, but it also significantly damaged realm communities. There's always going to be a pro/con to changes regarding convenience and it's up to blizzard to make sure they determine which ones are more beneficial than bad.
Most likely the wisest Enhancement Shaman.
I find class based games more interesting. When people are given the freedom to do whatever they want, things tend to muddy up and it becomes less interesting. There's no cooperation, because you're generally just nuking whatever you want to kill. You don't have to work with a healer or a tank, you just nuke. That's boring to me. Class roles force people to play a certain way.
That being said, I'd like to see a game that allows people to mess around with how particular classes work. Say you want to play a warrior, but you want to be really fast and agile, you are allowed to wear light/leather armour and dual-wield which increases your movement speed. However, the same class could also wear plate armour which would give more protection at the cost of speed. Maybe a mage that uses a staff can do better AoE damage while a wand is more accurate and does better single-target damage. Allows players room to mess around within their role. I know some games do this, but I'm yet to see any do it in an interesting way.
This one's demonstrably false. The raid encounters, and dungeons even, have gotten more and more complicated every expansion. There was even a list on this forum showing how they add up.In fact, I feel WoW began reusing fight ideas years ago and the encounters started to get stale.
While that's true, it's also the way the game works. You're taking Baseball and saying "Why do we even have basemen?"It's really just a matter of encounter design and getting people to open up their minds.
Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
[What's half of minor?]
"Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."
A check and balance system that force role-interdependency in the game.
If you look at Vanilla, you can see there was a lot more diversity, especially with the hybrids at at the time.
The problem becomes, you end up only bringing the classes you need and in cases where abilities could trivialize content, you picked those. We see that happen in top tier guilds all the time.
So for control factors, a foundation to base most of the game design upon, the concept of the Trinity came out and then you had hard specs created for each part of the trinity. While they can change how the role is fulfilled with different underlying mechanics... Dodge vs Block vs Parry vs High Armor vs Stagger, they only have to get 5 specs in line for tanking and 5 for healing and the rest DPS.
GW2 suffers the opposite problem, there is so much "freedom" on the class-side that their encounters are horribly boring and there are no real defining abilities in the game for fear that something might be released that would be a scale-tipper in the favor of a particular profression.
They can get rid of it for all I care, but only if the combat turns into one as in a spectacle fighter or at least action adventure. As long as my character just slashes the thin air in fron't of him to down a dragon there is no reason to change the system. It would only turn the gameplay in the already mentioned clusterfuck and would actually limit the mechanics more than they already are currently.

these logicals without the source code?
To recreate indexes on logical files without having the source, you can do a RMVM on the logical file and then an ADDLFM. Keep in mind that the logical file member could be different than the file name. If you have a lot of files, I prefer to do this process with a CL program that will does a DSPFD type(*MBR) to an output file and then have the CL program read that file and do the appropriate commands.

I realize I left off one of my favorites, "Aliens in America," in my previous post. I still enjoy this show, but it hasn't been as clever as the first two episodes. I did like the rocket club episode where Raja goes to buy parts for a model rocket and is accused of terrorism. For now, it's still on my list.
"Bionic Woman," though, is taking up huge chunks of space on my DVR. The show's pilot was solid but not spectacular, and it hasn't found its way since then. The best thing they could do for that show is kill the lead and make Katee Sackhoff the star. Every time she's on screen, she's got my attention.
I gave up "Prison Break" after a few episodes this season, and despite putting "K-Ville" on my worst list, I watched it for several weeks. It got better, but eventually I gave it up.
My other worst shows were: "Women's Murder Club," "Journeyman," "Viva Laughlin," and "Cavemen." "Viva" is gone and "Journeyman" and "Cavemen" are on the bubble. "Club" is doing fine, though I still can't stand it.
Anybody else have any season reflections?
As for Christmas favorites, "The Year Without a Santa Claus" is my favorite.

Jimmy Dorsey to Gold Rush – You are a Joke!
On the evening of the season two finale of Gold Rush Alaska, Jimmy Dorsey posted on his Facebook account the following comments:
"I made $30000 gold mining last summer in four months! Gold rush… you guys are a joke!" found on his wall.
"I made 30k last summer in four months, Gold mining. Dorsey won." posted on the Gold Rush wall. He then went on to say in the comments of that post "Did they censor me yet? There is the proof."
He even wrote to Greg Remsburg: "I got more gold and more money than u did mining this last summer. U lose"
As a friend of many of the players on Gold Rush Alaska, and as the webmaster of oregongold.net, I am not playing sides and I always enjoy people finding the gold. The Hoffman crew did much better from the previous season. Personally I want to say "good job". I have been following everybody from the show the best I can and Jimmy Dorsey has improved himself as gold miner. The fact that he made $30,000, while the Hoffman crew made $8,000 per share shows just that. It probably makes Jimmy Dorsey feel a lot better after they basically made him look bad in season one of the show. I don't blame him for wanting some vindication.
Jimmy Dorsey claimed he would get "more gold" in the coming summer, when he was interviewed in the now famous interview with OregonGold.net claiming the show is scripted. It was Greg who broke his ribs in his final episode.
