Microsoft's Elite Controller for Xbox One is a fantastic idea for hardcore gamers who want to level-up their game with more precise hardware. There are just two problems, however - 1. They're $150, and 2. They're sold out everywhere. Luckily, third-party peripheral maker PowerA has a solution, the $80 Xbox One Fusion Pro Controller. It doesn't quite have all of the same features as the Elite, but it does come with customizable lights (seriously, I'm pumped about this feature) and handles pretty well when it counts. See all of the details here.

Features

The PowerA Xbox One Fusion Pro Controller has a lot of similar features to Microsoft's Elite controller. It has locks on both triggers so you don't have to pull them very far to register shots, which allows you to shoot more quickly. These are physical locks you just slide back and forth into place, so they work well.

It also has four programmable buttons on the back of the controller. Unlike the Elite or Razer's Wildcat controller, however, that offer paddles or extra trigger pieces to help you push these extra buttons easier, the buttons on the back of the Fusion Pro are almost flush with the controller (see the back of the controller here). They are also somewhat stiff and hard to actually press down consistently with your middle/ring fingers (especially the ring fingers, I didn't realize my fingers were so weak ...). You do get used to them eventually, and the more you use them, the stronger your fingers will get in the process. Programming the extra buttons is very simple - you just hold the "program" button on the front of the controller until the lights blink, then press the button you want to map (it can be any button and even the stick buttons), and then whichever button on the back you want to map it to. It is easy and fast to program and works like it should.

The Xbox One Fusion Pro doesn't have a couple of other key features, however. You can't swap out the d-pad or analog sticks for pieces with different sizes/shapes like on the Elite, which is a bummer. It also doesn't come with a fancy carrying case like the Elite or Razer Wildcat. It also is wired instead of wireless (it has a 9' cord). All of these things are also why it is a much cheaper $80 instead of $150 like the others, however, so it is hard to complain too much.

One feature it does have that the others don't is gimmicky lights on the front. I'm not kidding when I say this feature is actually appealing to me and part of the reason why I wanted to cover it (What? Wanting purple lights on your controller is a crime now?). The lights are turned on or off with buttons on the back of the controller and you can also change the brightness and color. The lights are in a "V" shape around the Xbox gem and navigation buttons in the middle, and also in circles around the analog sticks. They look cool. I like them.

The only thing I don't like is that the analog sticks are humongous compared to standard XONE controllers. The tops of the sticks got smaller on the official controllers from the X360 to the XONE, and I have found I prefer the smaller XONE sticks over the last two years. The tops of the sticks on the Fusion Pro are even bigger than the 360 sticks, which means they're MASSIVE. Maybe Microsoft has a patent on normal human-sized thumbsticks or something. I don't know why else PowerA would use huge sticks like this.

Bottom Line

The real question here, however, is whether the Xbox One Fusion Pro worth the $80. That is $15-20 more than a standard Xbox One controller, though that is still obviously significantly less than competing "Elite" controllers. Is it worth it? The thing about these "Elite" controllers from the start is that they aren't really meant for everyone. Frankly, most gamers don't need the extra buttons and bells and whistles and can play shooters just fine. These controllers are generally aimed at hardcore competitive shooter (you know, Star Wars Battlefront, Halo 5, Black Ops III, Destiny, Gears of War, etc.) players who actually can see some benefit from being slightly more precise and not having to move their thumbs for even a millisecond. Normal players (which the vast, vast majority of us are) won't notice a dramatic improvement.

With that said, however, the $80 price tag does make the Xbox One Fusion Pro an appealing impulse buy for those wanting to see if they can notice a difference. The trigger locks and extra buttons on the back (even if they're hard to press at first) work just as advertised and can potentially help your play. It is solid enough in comparison to the standard XONE controller and the extra features (lights, trigger locks, extra buttons) are probably worth the extra cash. I wouldn't recommend it over the standard controller for everyone, but if you're curious and have some extra cash you can do a lot worse than the PowerA Xbox One Fusion Pro.

Replace Impulse Sealer Heat Element
Replace Impulse Sealer Heat Element
On Monday, July 19th, 2010 at 9:13 pm, No Comments »
Impulse sealers are relatively low maintenance but occasionally you will need to replace the heating. element. The process is simple. Just follow the steps below:
1. Buy a replacement kit consisting of a heating wire (nichrome wire) with eyelets attached and Teflon tape.
2. Replace the old Teflon tape on your impulse sealer by completely unscrewing one of the metal plates that hold the old tape in place. There are usually two screws holding in each plate. Loosen up the second plate so the tape can be removed.
3. Remove the heating wire by removing the screw that holds down the far end of the wire. After the screw is removed lift up the wire and remove it from the tensioner on the other end.
4. Take the new wire, attach one end to the tensioner and gently stretch it out until the other eyelet matches up with screw hole. Screw the wire into place.
5. Take the new Teflon tape and slide it into place under the loosened metal plate. Line it up evenly and lightly tighten the plate. Roll the tape over with the other metal plate and lightly tighten that plate into place. Gently rub the tape down toward toward the metal plates. Tighten the plates down the rest of the way.
6. Now seal down the impulse sealer once to give the tape a shot of heat and your repair is complete.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – A National Emergency Grant worth over a million dollars will be used to assist workers who were laid off at five companies in Hampden County.
The U.S. Department of Labor announced on Wednesday that a $1,576,221 National Emergency Grant will be used to assist about 250 workers affected by layoffs in Hampden County.
According to U.S. Secretary of Labor Thomas E. Perez, "Workers in western Massachusetts may have worked for many years with a single employer, and, after these layoffs, they are looking for employment that require new skills and training."
The grant will aid the laid off workers by providing re-employment services that will help them find new good jobs, and that includes training. Also, employment-related services allowable under a National Emergency Grant will be available to those workers not eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance.
The Dept. of Labor office reports that most of the layoffs happened towards the end of 2013 and the beginning of 2014, in January. These workers were employed at the following companies: Avery Dennison Corp., Dow Jones & Co. Inc., Hasbro Inc., Exelis Inc. and Southworth Co.

The Nashville Predators will be on the road more often than not at both the start and finish of the 2011-12 season [1].
Nashville begins with a pair of road games against Central Division rivals and five of their first seven games will be away from home. Unlike last season, when a glut of home games at the finish contributed to the Predators' playoff push, only eight of the 18 games from March 1 on will be at Bridgestone Arena.
The home opener is Oct. 13 against Phoenix, and the final home game is April 5 against Dallas.
Along the way, the Predators will play the 1,000th game in franchise history, Nov. 12 at home against Montreal. That also kicks off the longest homestand of the season (five games), which is followed immediately by a five-game road trip.
"The announcement of the 2011-12 schedule is a great sign that another season of exciting Predators hockey is just around the corner" Predators CEO Jeff Cogen said in a release. "This is an excellent schedule and one that our fans will really enjoy as we look to build on our many successes from last season.
The NHL released its complete 2011-12 schedule Thursday afternoon.

Rick Santorum's victory in Tennessee strikes a real blow to Mitt Romney. The former Massachusetts governor wants to prove he can win in the South, despite his Mormon faith and rivals' complaints that he's too moderate.
Santorum, a former senator from Pennsylvania, campaigned hard for Christian conservative votes in a state sometimes called the buckle of the Bible Belt. This win helps keep him in contention.
-Connie Cass
By winning both Oklahoma and Tennessee, Rick Santorum has pulled off a significant double play tonight. It proves he can outdo his big-spending rival Mitt Romney in parts of the country with lots of social values voters. If Santorum should also win Ohio - where the race is so far too close to call - it would add a big industrial state to his scorecard, too.-Connie Cass

"What a great night. There are three states under our belt now and counting. We're going to get more before this night is over." - Mitt Romney to supporters in Boston cheering his wins in Massachusetts, Virginia and Vermont.
"You have not failed, you have a president that's failed you.
And that's going to change." - Mitt Romney's message to Americans who can't find
jobs or can't pay their bills.
He added: "You are not forgotten, we will not
leave you behind. ... Real change is finally on the way."

Craig was arrested in June 2007 by an undercover police officer conducting a sting operation against men cruising for sex at the Minneapolis airport. As his political career disintegrated, Craig insisted he was not gay and the officer had misconstrued his foot tapping.
-By John Miller
By extending his string of wins tonight to North Dakota, Rick Santorum strengthens his argument that he can best better-funded rival Mitt Romney in all sorts of places. Santorum won two conservative Southern states, Tennessee and Oklahoma. But he's in a near tie with Romney in industrial Ohio.
And he points to other states he'd already racked up this year in his effort to upset Romney as the front-runner: Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado and the non-binding Missouri primary.
"We have won in the West, the Midwest and the South and we're ready to win across this country," Santorum told supporters tonight.

Romney's losses in Tennessee and Oklahoma, coupled with his struggle against Rick Santorum in Ohio, will not change GOP operatives' conviction that he is the likeliest nominee. He still has the most delegates, money, organization and experience.
But this Super Tuesday turn of events underscores Romney's challenge in winning independent voters turned off by the long, divisive primary. Read more.

Not Quite a Book Review Featured

In a speech she gave to the National Society for Women's Service, Virginia Woolf commented on how strange a thing it was that "there is nothing so delightful in the world than telling stories." This quote made it's way into a recently released memoir called The Rules Do Not Apply, recommended to me by a coworker at Sunpreme (that's the bifacial solar panel supplier in Sunnyvale).
The Rules Do Not Apply was written by Ariel Levy, an LGBTQ staff writer at the New Yorker. It is a memoir with all the wisdom that 38 years can supply written by a woman of privilege who felt that she lost it all. It is fast, delicious narrative. Most of all, it is shamelessly entitled, so much so that it speaks volumes of how the wealth of the American coasts have created large swaths of microcultures that cling to the notion of misfortune because of its scarcity. Here was a bright, fast living New York woman, receiving food deliveries, writing for a living (a privilege in itself), enjoying the bubble of densely populated coolness that minions like me can only yearn for. She was/is a lesbian and financially independent. Between all the words glowed the pride of her freedom from the shackles of the female past. "Daring to think that the rules do not apply is the mark of a visionary," she writes. "It's also a symptom of narcissism."
For those not familiar with the significance of the New Yorker magazine, it is the intellectual high-brow rag for New York insiders. So much so that the jokes are hard to understand. It is also one of the glowing crowns of arrival for a creative writer to have their kind words formed into print by that rag. It is the epitome of elite New York literati.
This takes me back to the Virginia Woolf quote about telling stories. I have a story about meeting the fiction editor of the New Yorker once. My late professor, Leonard Michaels, had one of his books reprinted by the Arion Press, probably the last functioning printing press in our country. This editor was there. We exchanged a few facts about how we knew the writer (she, obviously, published him) and it turned out that she was a Comp Lit major from Cal. I was an English major from Cal. In age, we might have been one year apart. I left the immediacy of the moment and saw this woman as the path not taken, the pinnacle of the power I could have achieved if I had slogged it out as a writer and settled for editor instead. "What do you think about Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," I asked her.
"I don't," she said. And there it was, the arrogance of the literati, living off the last of the intangible perks the dying industry has used to make up for poor compensation. "What do you do?" she asked.
"I work at a hedge fund," I said.
"You probably make a lot less than you used to," she said (this was after the financial crash.)
I didn't answer. I thought it best not to engage in this one.
The party was in an old, lived-in apartment in the Upper West. Moisture trapped books lined the wall. Antipasti and soft drinks were offered up in the kitchen. I took my plastic plate and put it down in a spot with more oxygen. In the time it took for me to greet someone else, a German cockroach might have crawled on and off my plate and scurried back down into its netherworld behind the baseboard that didn't quite accommodate the slope of the floor.

My First Marathon ~ 26.2 Virgin Part 1
Why I Chose to Run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon ~Honoring a Sister Friend and Fellow Runner
This gallery contains 1 photo.
*The name of the person involved has been kept anonymous out of respect for privacy*
I had first heard of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon while on vacation in 2012. I met a fellow runner in the lobby of the resort I was staying at. During our conversation it was discovered we are both runners and we remained in that lobby at least 2 hours discussing races,trainings; the works. We both had only run half marathons at that point. We made arrangements to go on a run together the next morning. Before we parted ways he mentioned a trip he took to Chicago for his birthday. He had made the Chicago Half Marathon and Marathon a part of his birthday trip. At the time I had never thought about running a marathon. I was still keeping to my 13.1 mile races and 10Ks. We finally went on our separate ways and met up for our morning run.
It was a short 3 mile run but was torture because of the grueling desert heat. It felt like my insides were on fire. He didn't have water so I gave him one of my bottles along the run. We hung together for part of the run. He began to fall back. It seems he had a bit much to drink the night before and the heat combined with the alcohol, had completely dehydrated him. He began to walk some. He told me to go on ahead and he would catch up. Ultimately, I completed the run and had to go back for him. I had a nice tall bottle of water in hand. We laughed about it later on. We still keep in touch and have even met up for a race once. I love meeting new people especially runners. Runners are in a class of their own, a different breed. In any event, that is how I first heard of the B of A Chicago Marathon.
As I said earlier, running a full marathon, let alone Bank of America Chicago Marathon, never crossed my mind. It hadn't until this year. It was brought back to my attention by my sister friend, my soror who is also a marathon runner and body builder. My soror and I met on the National Black Marathoner's Association Face Book Organization Page. We soon after met up for a track workout. I admit she kicked my butt. I could tell this was something of a walk in the park for her. She has a very strong core and power house leg strength from body building. That was a good workout. I needed someone to run with to make me step up my game. She most certainly made that happen.
A couple months went by before hearing from her again. I was glad to receive the call. What I didn't expect was the request. She asked me if I would run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon with her. (By this time I had run my first full marathon in December 2012, Rock 'N' Roll Vegas Marathon). I actually was honored as well as surprised she thought of me. Remember we hadn't spoken for a while. She began to tell me that she had recently been told by her doctor that she would have to give up running because of a heart condition. That she wants the B Of A Chicago Marathon to be her last race of the 2013 year. She went on to tell me that she is still in training for body building competitions and would begin training for B of A soon after the body building competitions were over. I immediately said yes! This meant giving up my 10 medals from the Rock 'N' Roll Marathon series. I was going to run 5 marathons to earn not only the 5 medals from doing all the races but the extra 5 for completing so many within a year. However, running with my sister friend and soror, in what would be her last race forever,is more important.
Both of us eagerly waited for the first day of registration. Knowing it would be difficult to do so with the thousands of runners that would be registering at the same time. Bank of America Chicago Marathon is a Boston Qualifier (BQ). It is said to be a very flat and fast course. Some of everybody from everywhere would be waiting to register.
Well we were right about the huge amount of runners registering all at once. There were so many, that the system crashed. Before it crashed runners were being doubled billed or bounced off the registration site. Despite the attempts of the registration host, the system could not be brought back up. Then the email came from B of A registration host. Registration could not be open until further notice. Those who were doubled billed had their money refunded and were able to keep their registration. A second email quickly came that said the only fare way to fill the left over 1500 slots was to do a lottery. My sister friend and I were unsure how this would play out. We were not just running together but rooming together. We talked and decided to go for the lottery with hopes we both get in. Soon after the lottery opened we quickly put our names in so not to miss the deadline. We waited. I still didn't know if I would officially register if I made it. What if I got in and she didn't? I was also worried about being able to afford to go. I had to quickly remind myself this is for her. Make it happen. Pray on it.
Eventually everyone was contacted by another email. I got in! I was so excited. I didn't register right away. I wanted to call my soror first to see if she made it in also. There was a deadline given to sign up. So I had time. I called; luckily she was available to answer her phone. THANK GOD! She made it in also. We were both happy we could exhale. Next, find a hotel closest to the start and air travel.
I never knew when I would run another marathon. I knew I wanted to. It seems this one is meant to be. I'm so glad she asked me to run the Bank of America Chicago Marathon with her. I wouldn't have thought of registering if it wasn't for my sister friend...my soror and fellow runner.
Since she asked me to do this with her, I have ran 2 more marathons; totaling 3 marathons under my belt; in this case, compression tights. All of them completed between December 2, 2012 and June 2, 2013; December 2012 - R'N'R Vegas, May 18, 2013 - Rohring Rock, June 2, 2013 - R 'N'R San Diego. Two more scheduled this year, The Ventura Marathon in September 2013 and the grand finale…Bank of America Chicago Marathon October 2013.
Even though I rejoice in this news, I am saddened that my soror will no longer be able to pound pavement or kick up dust on the trails. I will use my legs to carry her with me on the roads, trails and all weather tracks. I don't know if I could handle not being able to run again. I love it so much. The sun on my skin, wind in my hair, cool night breezes, early morning fresh air and the waves and smiles of other runners as they speed by me. Running is as much a part of my life as breathing. It is one of the very few things that make me happy and comforts me at the end of a long day or restless sleep.
Thank you and runner's love to my sister friend, my soror and a true runner...An athlete.

About Us
"Flaxseed oil is now used by millions of Americans for its spectacular health benefits, thanks to a young man who overcame many obstacles to bring it here."
Less than 20 years go, flaxseed was known as "linseed oil." The federal Food and Drug Administration reasoned humans couldn't use it because a distant cousin of the same name was sold as a paint additive.
This is the true story of how that changed in the 1980s...
Mike Minarsich, founder in 1986 of BioNatures, read a book about Dr. Johanna Budwig and her amazing work with fats, oils and proteins. Eager to know more, Mike unsuccessfully searched for the product she described—raw, cold-pressed linseed (now flaxseed) oil—at health-food stores and mail-order companies. He contacted William Fischer, publisher of Dr. Budwig's story, and discovered the German-born publisher had used "edible" linseed oil since he was a child. Furthermore, he was still getting it in tin cans from Germany, a very expensive process. Eventually, Mike found a Canadian company that produced "linseed" oil according to the standards of Dr. Budwig. And so BioNatures was born; it became the first company in America to import and sell linseed oil for human consumption.
After changing the name to "flaxseed or flax oil" to avoid confusion with linseed oil for paint, BioNatures went on to create companion products to help the bioavailability, or absorption, of the omega 3,6 and 9 found in the oil. This effort gave birth to EFA Companion Nutrients and Vita Flax Complete . Then we thought, why stop there? Over the years we have carefully developed an entire line of product formulas designed specifically to maximize "bioavailability" of the primary nutrient. Today we have the finest, most absorbable nutritional supplement line available anywhere, giving you exactly what you need to maintain optimum health. Remember the most expensive vitamin you will ever buy is the one that doesn't do anything. Remember that when you see those discount vitamin companies' "buy 2 get 4 free" deals. BioNatures gives you 8 reasons to trust us as your nutritional supplement source:
1. Every product we carry has an independent assay and analysis on file, proving what is on the label is what is in the bottle.
2. We use scientific studies and professionals to formulate our products with one goal in mind, maximum absorption.

4. We only sell directly to consumers, eliminating the wholesale layer and passing the savings to you.

Lesotho neither hosted nor produced significant numbers of refugees at the end of 1998, but violence temporarily uprooted several thousand people in September.
On September 22, a military intervention by South African and Botswanan forces triggered a violent upheaval in Lesotho and set off a wave of looting and destruction. Several thousand people fled the capital. At least 1,000 sought temporary safety in neighboring South Africa. At year's end, most of the displaced population were believed to have returned home.

If a teacher does not want cameras in a classroom, I wonder why? The video would instantly clear an accused teacher of misconduct. It seems like these senior teachers just do not want their performance and teaching abilities recorded. , or perhaps it is the way they treat students in some cases. I cannot see one good reason to keep cameras out of classrooms. It protects the innocent and clearly shows the guilty, so what is the harm? Me thinks they doth protest too much !!

The British people are, I believe, more civil, socially concerned, giving and open than any others I have ever met. You have endured hundreds of years of changing history with grace and dignity, have defended the rights of the downtrodden worldwide, and deserve the very best government that a nation can muster.
You seem a bit perplexed and helpless to an observer; too polite to raise hell and get changes, too timid to demand rather than request that you are the masters of your own destiny. Eternal optimism may not be a desirable trait for your future.
That is a mistaken assumption and will lead us into the same quagmire you are now in: Once rights are taken, they are NEVER returned. The average American at least has enough weaponry and ammo to make it difficult, if not impossible, to make us a police state in the worst sense, and believe me, when push comes to shove the average American will lock and load if it comes to defending the basics of our homes and lives. You all do not have that option anymore. You now HAVE to be a docile and obediant population as only the cops and the crooks now are armed.
You are watched, taxed, listened to, measured and filed away in some database somewhere..the finest people in the world being treated like suspects at all times by an authoritarian and uncaring elite. It is a crying shame that the nation that basically civilzed the world, that established new and successful nations worldwide, that defines the very essence of intelligent and civil discourse in politics and business and has done so for hundreds of years, is being sold down the primrose path to total control and subjugation of the people by the same globalist billionaires that are ruining my country. What a shame. But at least we will be able to make a last stand and fight back if push comes to shove. And that fact may just be the reason that we keep a few basic rights while yours keep getting swept away with each phony terror attack or govt. sponsored ' event '.
I fear for us all but remember that you are the cream of the crop of civilized humanity, you carry the banner, and when that falls, the world will be a place I might not want to live in anyway. Good luck.

When Indians reliever Joe Smith entered Thursday's game against the Tigers with one out in the seventh inning, things did not look good for the Indians. Despite a solid performance from Tribe starter Zach McAllister, the Indians were down 3-1, and the Tigers had runners on first and third. To top it off, none other than the feared Miguel Cabrera was at the plate.
Cabrera took the first pitch for a ball. On Smith's second pitch, Cabrera hit a grounder to Indians third baseman Jose Lopez, who fielded it cleanly, and threw to Jason Kipnis at second to force the runner on first. Kipnis threw the ball to Casey Kotchman at first to complete the 5-4-3 double play and to end the inning. Two pitches from Smith, two outs.
While it was nice to see the Indians halt the Tigers in that fashion, they were still down by two when they came to bat in the bottom of the seventh, and Tigers starter Justin Verlander was still on the mound. Up to that point, Verlander had been in command, giving up only three hits and allowing only one run. It looked as though he was well on his way to beating the Indians.
But Indians catcher Carlos Santana hit Verlander's first pitch of the inning over the right-field wall, making the score 3-2. The next hitter, DH Travis Hafner, did the same thing to Verlander's next pitch, tying the game. Two pitches, two runs.
Verlander doesn't rattle easily, but he clearly wasn't happy with the direction the game had taken. Lopez, the next batter, rapped a single to right. Verlander got the next two batters to hit routine flies to the outfield.
But the Indians had more hitting to do. The next three batters—Shin-Soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera, and Kipnis—each singled off Verlander. Lopez and Choo scored, and by the time Verlander retired Michael Brantley, the ninth Indian to come to the plate that inning, on an infield pop-up, the Indians found themselves on the sunny side of a 5-3 score. And thanks to Vinnie Pestano and Chris Perez, that's how the game ended. Perez made things more interesting than they needed to be, as he gave off a leadoff double and walked a batter. The Tigers had the tying runners in scoring position when Perez struck out Quintin Berry to end the game, and to record his 29th save in 31 save opportunities.
It was great to see the Indians get some timely hits. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's the first time Santana and Hafner hit back-to-back homers all season. In fact, for ANY two Indians players to hit consecutive home runs is something that hasn't happened very often in 2012.
For some reason, Verlander doesn't beat the Indians the way he beats other teams. He's 13-13 lifetime against the Tribe, compared to 105-50 against all other teams. Don't get me wrong, if the Indians had to play the Tigers in the postseason, I'm sure Tigers manager Jim Leyland would have no qualms about sending Verlander to the mound. But it is satisfying to know that the Indians can hold their own against the best starter in the league.
By winning the game, the Indians gained half a game over the idle Chicago White Sox and a full game over the Tigers. The Indians now trail the division-leading White Sox by 3.5 games, and the second-place Tigers by three.
Incidentally, thanks to the seventh-inning rally on the part of the Indians offense, those two pitches Smith threw in the top of the inning got him the win, boosting his record to 7-2. You can make the case that there's something unfair about a pitcher throwing two pitches and recording a win, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a debate for another day. For now, I'm content to bask in the glow of victory, no matter who gets the credit for it.
Thanks to the generosity of an old friend, a man I've known since we were in seventh grade together, I got to see the game from a field box seat about 20 rows behind home plate, by far the best seats I've ever had at Progressive Field. Thank you, Stan. Even though I didn't know the word back in 1969, you were a mensch then, and you're a mensch today.
I tweet. Do you? If you do, please follow me, and I'll probably follow you.

Supposed you were asked to do the final moments of Garrosh Hellscream after the final fight in Siege of Orgrimmar. How will you handle it?
My idea is that Varian and Thrall kneel beside the dying Garrosh as the latter realizes how wrong he was in his war. As Varian and Thrall talk with Garrosh, Varian decides to offer some food to Garrosh to ease his soul. In the end, his act of kindness finally ends the rivalry between Varian and Garrosh. Before his dying breath, Garrosh tells Varian that "The Burning Legion will be the ultimate test as leader of your people. Show them that this planet is not to be messed up. LOK'TAR OGAR, Varian Wrynn." before passing away. Varian replies with a silent "Lok'tar...ogar." before allowing Thrall to mourn the passing of Garrosh in silence.

Narconon Georgia Salutes Graduates During National Recovery Month
Narconon of Georgia Gears Up for National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month
Narconon Freedom Center Sees 50 Percent Increase in Heroin Drug Rehab Sign-ups
Narconon Georgia, with a
success rate of 76%, salutes their stably recovered graduates in observance of
National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month (Recovery Month). They are sharing some their graduate's
successes while spreading the positive message that treatment is effective and
that people can and do recover.
Recovery Month, now in its 22nd year, highlights individuals
who have reclaimed their lives and are living happy and healthy lives in
long-term recovery and also honors the treatment and recovery service providers
who make recovery possible. Recovery Month also promotes
the message that recovery in all its forms is possible and also encourages
citizens to take action to help expand and improve the availability of
effective recovery services for those in need.
"We are dedicated to observing Recovery Month and are saluting our
graduates in the hope that parents, loved ones and even addicts themselves will
see the stories and learn that recovery is possible," says Mary Rieser,
Executive Director for Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia.
"We are so proud of our graduates and the
productive lives they are now living and hope that these few success from the
myriad we have will help encourage others to seek recovery," says Rieser.
"Last holiday season, my life was a mess. The Easter before,
I had shown up to my family's dinner totally wasted, nodding out over my dinner
plate. As a result, I had officially been uninvited to all future
holidays until I decided to clean my life up…
A lot has changed since then, I am no longer a slave to drug
addiction. I have been at Narconon for four months. I haven't been
strung out and every day I wake up happy and healthy. I'm not dope sick
anymore. I feel better than I ever have since I started using
drugs. I talk to my family all the time and they are happy that I am
doing so well and am healthy."
"Before I came to sauna I was lost and
in a constant daze. When I first got there to be honest I thought it was
going to be pointless and wasn't going to help me. I had no energy and no
spirit really. All I could think about was dope. After a week or so
I could feel the weight of drugs lift and the fog in my head start to lift...
For the longest time I had lost the feeling in my fingertips. Somehow the
sauna brought the feeling back. I felt better than I ever had and had
energy and really a lot more hope I had in myself. Now I am clear minded
and I never think about drugs anymore …"
"When I got to this fine establishment on January 23rd, I was an absolute mess. I had given up
on everything; I had a very serious addiction to Xanax. By using the technology
I've learned from the program I will never see the day the way I saw it on Jan

Choosing a home security company is not an easy task. Thanks to securitysystemreviews.com homeowners have access to the latest reviews of the top security system companies for 2014.
Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) February 18, 2014
It doesn't make any sense for consumers to go blindly into a deal with any security system company without properly or even cursory research beforehand. The Internet has a wealth of information readily-available and for free. From client and user reviews, starred rankings and even interviews with experts, the web has a lot of resources to help consumers in making their decisions.
After 2013, experts at SecuritySystemReviews.com have compiled the available home security system companies and predicted who is going to be the best at the start of 2014. These service provider systems have been scrutinized over their performances these past few months and how they have fared in the fast-paced industry.
Consumers who are researching on possible service providers should try looking online for the best security system companies. Lots of user reviews are available and helpful tips in choosing so now is the best time to get a security system. The fastest-growing home security systems companies are competing fiercely and that only means consumers win as these companies make their systems better, cheaper and stronger.
Good research and informed buying should be the foundation of any client's security system. The best security system companies can address every security need with a tech-savvy but user-friendly solution. Price point and technology level should not be the only consideration for clients looking for a great buy. Potential users must take into consideration the user-friendliness, stability, power requirements, dependencies and network support available for the specific system they want.
Keep in mind that any home security system company that offers Wi-Fi or internet-based systems are shortchanging clients. Security companies that offer these are probably just getting rid of old stocks that cannot keep up with the sophisticated ways intruders are gaining entry into homes and offices. The best security system companies offer cellular wireless systems instead of online ones. Their main units come with self-supported cellular network capabilities that ensure the integrity of the security system as well as the low requirements to keep the network running.
Aside from cellular systems, a good home security company offers DIY options. For homeowners who want full control and understanding of the security system they want installed on their property, self-installation and maintenance is the solution. If consumers prefer this kind of setup, research is even more important. SecuritySystemReviews.com has a separate list for this kind of system based on different companies' offers. Consumers are urged to purchase systems on a trial basis to determine the best fit for their home and family. Good systems are the ones that are so user-friendly that anyone with minimal competencies in hardware and software can operate them but are stable enough to withstand intrusion and tampering.
Another great reason to look online for help with making a decision on home security system companies is the presence of great expert and in-depth articles on the subject. Consultants and security professionals have been tapped to give their opinions on the kind and type of system best for the small business owner or homeowner. These professionals look at security company records for the past year and compile them to give the best practices and optimal equipment available for the average homeowner.
About SecuritySystemReviews.com
Backed by a panel of security experts and a good knowledge base and insider information on the security industry, SecuritySystemReviews.com is one of the best resources for buyers and security professionals.

The Rapidly Changing Culture of a Modern Myanmar
Bagan is home to Myanmar's precious "Valley of a Thousand Temples". It is a place quite unlike anything you've ever seen, a landscape that is both barren, and vibrant, and host to an ancient culture that is in the midst of modernization.
There are many questions left to be answered regarding this modernization, especially with regards to the new youth of Myanmar, many of whom are now working in the tourism industry, a business that didn't exist when their parents were their age. Many Burmese people, both young and old, have acknowledged that as Myanmar opens itself up to the world, it is inevitable that change will happen. However, both have expressed sentiments that aim to preserve as much of their traditional culture as they can. As I walked around the plains of Bagan, meeting with locals and travelers alike, I asked myself, how will Myanmar look in 10 years? It was then, that I met a young Burmese girl, who introduced herself as Ma (younger sister in Burmese). She approached me, with a stack of foreign money in her hand, and asked me where I was from. I told her the United States, and she promptly spoke to me in English. Perfect English, not a word wrong, her accent was impeccable. She reminded me of a highly intelligent young girl in junior high. So what was she doing with a stack of money from all over the world?
"I can speak all of these languages" she told me.
"Every single one?" I looked at the stack, there were bills from all over the world. France, Brazil, England, Chile, China, everyone was accounted for.
I tried Spanish with her, she nailed it. French, again, perfect. Her Portuguese was good enough to get her a job in Rio. I couldn't believe it. We walked for some time, and she told me how she learned so much.
"Tourists are my teachers" she said with a smile. Ma has been a tour guide for 5 years, literally starting as soon as the borders opened. In that time, she has worked all around Bagan, hiking from one temple to the next, with a bag full of postcards, and foreign currency. From sunrise to sunset, this has been her life. As the tourists come in larger and larger numbers, Ma has seen more and more business. So, how is this influx of global culture affecting young people like Ma?
In a recent study published by Routledge, a publishing company that specializes in providing academic books and journals regarding humanities and social sciences, researchers went to Bagan, and conducted interviews with locals, who described the three biggest changes that they had seen since the opening of the borders. People of all ages agreed on three major areas; the consumption of alcohol, the way thanaka (traditional make-up of the Burmese people) is worn and the perceived importance of marriage (Rich and Franck 334-44). Although, tourism in not alone to blame for these changes. Free access to the Internet has also helped foster a developing mindset in the minds of many young Burmese people, especially with regards to drinking alcohol, and relationships. According to the study, it is in conjunction with modern media formats that Burmese people have been exposed to and have assimilated new cultural identities.
There are undoubtedly benefits to tourism, and most locals do agree that those benefits are very important to providing new opportunities for the next generation. Many young men and women are now able to afford luxuries that their parents could not have thought possible at their age, and many more are able to attend schools now. Whatever future these changes hold in store for Myanmar, it is important to learn from the successes and failures of nearby destinations like Thailand and Cambodia. Will Bagan's Valley of a Thousand Temples someday have backpacker ghettos lined up across it's plains? Will the environment suffer the way it has in some parts of Thailand? These questions are left to the people of Myanmar to manage, and to hopefully, resolve. Either way, it is a fascinating time to be young in Bagan ;a time when the new generation is setting out to define itself, and decide what direction it wants this new Myanmar to go.

Apple has been attempting to create a marketing hysteria based on its iPhone 5 by pretending that its pre-orders are sold out. A familiar tale, then…
Cupertino needs to have long lines of people queuing outside shops to buy the phone to create the illusion of interest in the lack-lustre product.
The iPhone 5 was greeted with a large yawn from the normally faithful tech press which sees it as behind Samsung and other smartphones.
The whole pre-orders sell out is just bizarre. As the Sydney Morning Herald points out, Apple gets two stories out of the supply fiasco – 'pre-orders sellout' and 'queues around the block on launch day'.
Aussie journalist Matthew Powell said Apple CEO Tim Cook was one of the smartest operations guys in the business so "would have known exactly how many units were required and where they needed to be allocated".
In other words, it is all a game. To make matters worse Apple has a nack of making sure that its pre-order system is slower than the queue.
Powell said he would never pre-order again after he ordered an iPad 2 that was supposed to be delivered on launch day but took three weeks to arrive.
Apple actually wants to sell 6 million or more units globally by the end of its first weekend and 58 million by the end of the year.
Not only does the phone do less than its rivals, most of the functions which the iPhone 5 actually has are not available outside the US. So one would have to be a pretty daft Brit to actually queue for a phone which does half of what it says on the tin.
Iain McDonald, founder of digital marketing agency Amnesia, said that it's all part of the spectacle that Apple loves to create around its products.
It was an old marketing trick first used by nightclub owners who make people queue up outside even though the club inside is half empty.
He said that Apple's queues outside at launch has has become part of the company's brand. If there were no lines, that could be considered a failure to launch and may have a huge impact on subsequent sales.

Re: JOHN J MCEVOY AND ANNASTASIA LAWLAR
I am hoping that this may reach you inasmuch as you posted in 2001. I am Ken Cates; my mother was Helen Elizabeth McEvoy and my paternal grandfather was Daniel Kenneth McEvoy and went as
D. K. McEvoy. He was born in 1854 in Brooklyn, N. Y and died in 1949 in Brooklyn. I am aware of him having a brother Joseph but little else of his early history. I have additional family data about D. K. McEvoy and will be happy to share it. My e-mail address is firstname.lastname@example.com. I am interested in the history of the family in Ireland - when they came to the U. S. and such. I have searched for over 10 years for family info and hired a genealogist in Brooklyn without much real success.

Luckily Mercedes put their 3.2 into everything and the V8's even share parts with the V6's so it was cheap. #WishMeLuck&UnbloodyKnuckles

text: Today I get a call. Woman says " yesterday, there was this flyer thing at my house, do you put them in mail boxes? On the door or what? We use door hangers. I say, it is a "door hanger" it goes on the door, we don't mess with mail boxes at all. I was thinking she was going to attack me for messing with the mail box. Then she says, where do you put them, front door, side, back? By now I am irritated and say, on the front usually, but why? What can I help you with? She then says well, I have a problem, yesterday I get home in a real hurry and leave the keys hanging in the door cause I had to go to the bathroom, now she can't find the keys but found the door hanger. Pisssssssssssssss me off see! So , of course keys missing, door hanger there, it HAS to me the lawn spray guy! It was my Pest control technician hanging door hangers, they were for Pest Control, the woman even got that wrong, she said she had a flyer for lawn care. I told her I've been in business in this town for 17 years and don't really need to be stealing keys, but I do have about 25 sets of keys to several customers houses that they have given me to get in when needed. But I thank you for accusing me of being a thief, so is there anything else I can do for you? Wellll, I guess not, and she hung up. Anybody else get accused of what just happened to go on after you left a property?

Hi Folks, A couple of weeks ago I raised the topic: which approach is to be favored - design by subclassing or design by composition. There were numerous responses, largely in favor of subclassing. Since that time I have gone off and done some thinking and researched how this design issue is approached in the Object-Oriented field. As a result I have now convinced myself that composition should be the favored approach (as it is in the OO field). I have written up this issue and posted it on the BestPracticesHomepage: http://www.xfront.com/composition-versus-subclassing.html Any comments on this would be appreciated. The paper addresses most of the issues that were raised a couple of weeks ago. The one issue that it does not address I do so here: > I think that design-by-subclassing has one killer advantage, > namely that applications can use information about the type hierarchy > in order to provide common processing for all elements of a particular > (high level) type. My response to this is to quote from the Design Patterns book by Gamma et al: "Delegation is a way of making composition as powerful for reuse as inheritance. In delegation, two objects are involved in handling a request: a receiving object delegates operations to its delegate. This is analogous to subclasses deferring requests to parent classes." /RogerReceived on Monday, 15 April 2002 08:37:59 UTC

To begin the season, New Mexico guard Demetrius Walker was a back court starter for the head coach Steve Alford.
Now however, it appears that Walker could end the 2012-13 season on the bench with the news and report that he has been suspended indefinitely for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Walker, who is a transfer from Arizona State, has not played in a game for the Lobos since Feb. 13. He was kept out of the past four contests due to an unspecified violation and now that appears that that will continue.
On the season, Walker is averaging 5.0 points and 1.2 rebounds per game. After a terrific start to the season, Walker has seen his numbers drop dramatically and that's not just because he has not been playing much. The 6-foot-2 guard has only scored in double-figures once since mid-December.
The loss may certainly affect the back court rotation and depth of the Lobos, especially considering the fact that Walker was once a starter on this team, but it probably isn't anything that New Mexico hasn't become accustomed to recently. The Lobos have won all four games since Walker was first held out by Alford and have eight of their past nine games overall.
In fact, New Mexico wrapped up the Mountain West Conference regular season title just this past weekend and will look to now garner even more momentum heading into the league tournament.
The Lobos will make the trip to Nevada on Wednesday night.
