A Garden of Cucumbers by Poyntz Tyler
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
At 964 5th Avenue today, you will find a dermatology office at the bottom of a large residential tower. The number itself is not to be found, but there are both odd and even numbers along the same side of the street, which faces the east side of Central Park. 8 East 78th Street is around the corner, number also unmarked, a four story building. They appear to have been there well before 1960. On the other side of 78th Street, is the James B. Duke Mansion, which since 1958 has been the home of New York University's School of Fine Arts, so the idea of a mansion at this location in 1960 is not altogether implausible, although there is nothing resembling the mansion shown in the film Fitzwilly, which is based on this novel.
I saw that film prior to 2003, when I moved to New York. I asked the Indianapolis Public Library to buy a copy of the VHS when it came out, which they did, which would have been around late 1990s. I found it in the Critic's Choice Video catalog not long after buying the early John Williams "Original Motion Picture Score" (which in those days meant that the music was rerecorded for the album rather than the performance used in the film) on a $2 cassette at Meijer that I played until parts of it were worn out (I have since purchased the Film Score Monthly CD).
The book is recognizably the basis for the movie. I did not remember Mr. Buckmaster from the film, although he was played by Cecil Kellaway (I have not had a chance to re-screen the film for writing this review–someone uploaded it to YouTube recently, but it's very pixelly and nigh-unwatchable). In the novel, Mr. Buckmaster is really the main character. Mr. Fitzwilliam is the romantic lead, but he doesn't get nearly as much page time as Mr. Buckmaster, although he is one of the novel's major characters.
The one review of this I found that was written recently found the humor dated, while I found myself laughing aloud at numerous points (no pun intended). There are some references you might have to look up, and the characters have some classical education and make casual references to mythology, but the most dated part of the book is probably the funniest–in order to pull off the the big Macy's heist (which is Gimbel's in the film and more directly involves Fitzwilliam) is to trap people in the subway system to distract from their crime by putting tokens in every turnstile slot in the IRT and BMT in Manhattan so that no one can exit. Since no one would expect a free ride, the insertion of their token would keep the turnstile perpetually locked for exit. I have exited a turnstile after someone swiped their Metrocard on the other side. They thought they lost their swipe and were unhappy until they got through, but sure looked at me like a jerk. Perhaps the people who set up the Metrocard system were aware of this book and thought it better to risk this than to have exiting customers crash into entering ones. They get the Boy Scouts from Garland's troop to do this in the local stations, who think they are making it easier for homeless people to get to family in the suburbs. That the homeless guy mentioned is an alcoholic didn't bother me so much since before Reagan, most homeless people were alcoholics.
The book has a lot of fascinating characters, who tell tales of interacting with real-life people (hence their inclusion in the character list–I didn't include simple name drops). The credits list shows Pierre and Garland in the film, too but I didn't remember them, although I do remember the entire household staff working together as a team. Pierre is a very important character in the novel, and his story is very amusing, especially given my experiences with Occupy's anarchists and my reading of the Engels/Lafargue correspondence and how anti-socialist laws were always in response to crimes committed by anarchists, rather than socialists.
Mr. Buckmaster is much greedier and less honest than Fitzwilliam in the film, who is presented there as the mastermind, but also tailors his crimes so that only rich people are affected, and any complaints they have would cause them to lose face, since it would involve publicly saying that they didn't donate to one charity or another. This element is barely hinted at in the book and may originate with screenwriter Isobel Leonart. Buckmaster began his career whining that in the Great Depression that only the poor had money. He comes across as a spoiled right-winger. Unlike Tyler, he is a Republican, and the right-wing element had probably crept quite a bit into the Republican Party by 1960. Republicans today deny it, but the party was originally very far left and opposed private property rights, not just slavery, at the time of its founding. While Fitzwilliam is charmed by Buckmaster's bible charity, even that resulted from a heist that was supposed to fill the household wine cellars but came from a subservient taking the wrong delivery truck. While in the film, Fitzwilliam is all about allowing Miss Woodhouse (her name in the film, probably because a socialist named Victoria Clafin Woodhull ran for President of the United States under the Equal Rights Party in 1872, and they thought grafting the charity aspect onto the character might offend people) to keep up her charity giving (again only hinted at in the book). Mr. Buckmaster is clearly in it to maintain the lifestyle. He doesn't mind being a servant in a mansion in which he has a big apartment and everything he could want. Fitzwilliam and Juliet (who is Miss Woodhull's maid, not secretary, in the novel) want to get out of the racket before they get married, fearing it might encourage their future children to steal. Many chapters are vignettes in which he persuades the well-defined other members of the household staff, or his brother Roderick, who has a front with a Philadelphia thrift shop called Saint Dismas (the penitent thief) to commit crimes, and demonstrating how he is the mastermind by having thought of so many possibilities for the scheme not to work, although sometimes they are still bungled, although, being a comedy, the climactic one with Pierre turns out to be all right in spite of all the complications, and things turn out for the better, anyway. The character was probably untenable as the lead in a mainstream comedy in 1967. Fitzwilliam and Juliet are sort of a Claudio and Hero re: Much Ado About Nothing by comparison to Mr. Buckmaster's role in the novel.
The book is tempered in its politics apart from its overt references to devotion to the Republican Party. Tyler does not want to politicize the scandal of members of the gentry regularly committing shoplifting, fraud, etc., so in may seem a little soft to contemporary readers who want a skewering of the rich. They may find it disappointing that Victoria Woodhull's biggest vice is having visited the 21 Club during prohibition. I thought the resolution in the film seemed too abrupt, but the plot about her dictionary for the illiterate (really a bad speller's dictionary, but the term appears enough times) and how it resolves, as well as the issues with Pierre, tie the novel up really nicely (and comedically), with the usual novelistic jabs at Hollywood schlock, and of course includes the wedding of the juvenile and the ingenue.
I've seen that this book is available as a print on demand. I had the fortune of reading a first edition, although the lack of a dust jacket made the plain yellow cover not worth scanning.
Quotes Scott Liked
― Poyntz Tyler, A Garden of Cucumbers
― Poyntz Tyler, A Garden of Cucumbers
Mark and I followed the tall guy chewing gum and the bearded guy onto the subway at the Jackson Avenue subway stop, shaming them as slumlords and child murderers every time more people got onto the train. Mark got off at 125th Street, leaving me alone with them. The tall guy got off at 96th Street, and the bearded guy got off at 42nd Street. I supplied them with plenty of details (unfortunately, I had not remembered Juan Sanchez's name–the little boy who ate the rat poison), but people were asking me to spell Aguila and typing it into their smart phones. The two men said nothing, but looked like they were having the worst day of their life as Mark and I (and later just I) berated them about things they knew to be true (although from some of their murmuring to each other, they weren't necessarily sure).
Aguila is merely the service provider to the shelter. The landlord is the Podolsky family, which got a big write-up in the December 2013 issue of New York Magazine: http://nymag.com/news/features/podolsky-homeless-shelters-2013-12/index1.html
Picture the Homeless will be having a sleepout in front of CEO Stuart Podolsky's $5 million condominium at 117 East 57th Street on Thursday, August 20. Please join us and get a big crowd. We will be there from 5 PM until some time in the morning (except those of us who live in shelters and have to be back by 10 PM curfew). You might get a glimpse of David Copperfield, who lives a floor below.

Review of Linda Tirado's Hand to Mouth:
Originally posted on REALITY BLOG:
As a lowly young man full of ideas that would have changed the world; and naively believing that I could implement them, I often wondered at how large corporations became so wealthy and attained such incredible amounts of capital for their projects, warehouses, office buildings, investments, and for their global expansion. Why were the tallest buildings in every city I visited always topped with a bank logo? Why were the names of every city's sports arenas and concert halls being replaced with oil/energy and other corporation names and logos, even though the taxpayers paid for their construction? And after many failed attempts to start up my own small business ventures that would revolutionize the world, I gave up trying to play in the big boy markets, because I couldn't get my hands on the big boy money. I realized that some unseen hand would not allow me to compete, though I could never figure out just whose…

Hello, I have a problem with my focal plane shutter on my Hasselblad 2000FC (1980).
The camera jams at times between 1 sec and 1/15 sec.
At C, B and times from 1/30 to 1/2000 it fires and closes at is should. But at slow times the shutter stays open, and is not closed until the lever is placed at B or in C position.
I have just replaced the battery to a new fresh one as I thought that the problem was low current.
And the curtain is in good order, with no dents. And have been working.
Does anybody have any suggestion what to do, or what could have happened?
Is there any DIYs to do (I suspect non)
The problem isn't that big as the camera is working with my C-lenses. But maybe one day I would like to be able to use my F80/2.8 (the only non C)

The next industrial revolution
It's all about software, but it's a little harder than that.
If you Google "next industrial revolution," you'll find plenty of candidates: 3D printers, nanomaterials, robots, and a handful of new economic frameworks of varying exoticism. (The more generalized ones tend to sound a little more plausible than the more specific ones.)
The phrase came up several times at a track I chaired during our Strata + Hadoop World conference on big data. The talks I assembled focused on the industrial Internet — the merging of big machines and big data — and generally concluded that in the next industrial revolution, software will take on the catalytic role previously played by the water wheel, steam engine, and assembly line.
The industrial Internet is part of the new hardware movement, and, like the new hardware movement, it's more about software than it is about hardware. Hardware has gotten easier to design, manufacture, and distribute, and it's gotten more powerful and better connected, backed up with a big-data infrastructure that's been under construction for a decade or so. Read more…
Intoxicating machines
The revolutionary thing about desktop machines is that they'll make experimentation easier.
"Mr. Frankel, who started this program, began to suffer from the computer disease that anybody who works with computers now knows about," [Richard] Feynman later explained. "The trouble with computers is you play with them."
— George Dyson, describing the beginning of the Manhattan Project's computing effort in Turing's Cathedral.
I've been reading George Dyson's terrific history of the early development of the digital computer, and the quote above struck me. Even when they were little more than room-sized adding machines that had to be painstakingly programmed with punchcards, computers offered an intoxicating way to experiment. Most programmers can probably remember their first few scripts and the thrilling feeling of performing millions of operations in seconds. Computers let us take some abstracted human process and repeat it quickly, at almost no cost, with easy modification along the way. Read more…
Inside Solid: what won't drones do?
How Moore's Law applies to drones — a backchannel meditation on drone limitations.
Extrapolation is great fun — especially over technology, where Moore's Law has conditioned us to expect exponentially falling costs and fast adoption. Applied to drones, extrapolation might lead us to conclude that they'll fill the skies soon, delivering anything we want on demand. They are, after all, rapidly getting cheaper and smarter, and drone-related announcements get tons of press.
So, where will the drones stop? A few of us meditated on the limitations of drones last week on news that Facebook plans to use them to provide Internet connections to those who don't have them, and on DHL's announcement that it would begin making deliveries by drone to the island of Juist, in the North Sea. An edited excerpt of our exchange follows. Read more…
Stop hacking random stuff. It's getting trivial.
Once we acknowledge nearly everything is insecure, we can engage in a more nuanced discussion about security.
I was gratified to read Dave Aitel's rant about junk hacking last week [via Peter Lewis and abridged below]:
"Yes, we get it. Cars, boats, buses, and those singing fish plaques are all hackable and have no security. Most conferences these days have a whole track called 'Junk I found around my house and how I am going to scare you by hacking it.' That stuff is always going to be hackable whetherornotyouarethecalvalry.org.
"Yes, there is Junk in your garage, and you can hack it, and if
you find someone else who happens to have that exact same Junk, you can probably hack that, too, but maybe not, because testing is hard.
"Cars are the pinnacle of junk hacking, because they are meant to be in your garage. Obviously there is no security on car computers. Nor (and I hate to break the suspense) *will there ever be*. Yes, you can connect a device to my midlife crisis car and update the CPU of the battery itself with malware, which can in theory explode my whole car on the way to BJJ. I personally hope you don't. But I know it's possible the same way I know it's possible to secretly rewire my toaster oven to overcook my toast every time even when I put it on the lowest setting, driving me slowly but surely insane.
"So in any case, enough with the Junk Hacking, and enough with being amazed when people hack their junk."
Inside Solid: who will build the "god platform" for the Internet of Things?
Everyone is racing to build the topmost layer for home automation.
Everyone's racing to build the "god platform" for the Internet of Things: the highest, most generalized layer of intelligence and user interface that ties together connected devices and web services.
It's tempting to look for analogy in mobile phone platforms, where Apple was initially dominant and now enjoys an extremely lucrative and influential minority position against Android. There are some crucial differences, though. For starters, adoption won't be quite as easy; domestic appliances last for a long time, and nothing consumers have seen yet makes connected laundry seem appealing enough to justify early replacement of a washing machine. And even in cases where replacement is relatively easy, the grandest promises entail stitching everything into a seamless system — replacing just the easy stuff can seem pretty lame. Read more…
Talking to big machines
What "design beyond the screen" means for the industrial Internet.
Design beyond the screen is a much broader and more transformative concept than just that, though: it encompasses changes in the relationships between humans and machines and between machines and other machines. Good design beyond the screen makes interaction more fluid and elevates both people and machines to do their best work. The impact of good design beyond the screen could be huge, and could extend well beyond consumer electronics into heavy industry and infrastructure. Read more…
Why PayPal jumped the software-hardware gap
A software company reaches into the physical world with hardware.
PayPal is a software company, but when I met with Josh Bleecher Snyder, director of software engineering at PayPal, it was to talk about hardware. He's leading the development of Beacon, PayPal's new hands-free payment platform. At its heart is a finger-size stick that uses Bluetooth Low Energy to connect with mobile phones and confirm identity.
Paypal's move into hardware extends its software into the physical world — a key idea behind our Solid Conference. What was once a system confined to screens and keyboards is now part of a new set of interactions in brick-and-mortar stores.
Beacon is part of a vast PayPal stack, and Bleecher Snyder's team solved problems with a blend of hardware and software thinking — writing code in Go that was efficient enough for Beacon's processor to be underclocked and avoid overheating, and to anticipate attacks on PayPal's service that might come from compromised hardware. His entire system hews to PayPal's "don't be creepy" mantra by quickly and permanently discarding data that isn't used in transactions. Read more…
The IT-OT convergence
The key to brilliant factories lies in the combination of information technology and operations systems, says GE's CIO.
Solid is about the intersection of real and virtual — the idea that, through sensors, networks, and intelligent machines, information can move fluidly between software and the physical world. It's easy to see the technical implications of that intersection — thermostats that adjust themselves and cars that can drive autonomously — but there's also a crucial management implication as well. Just as design can be automated and optimized if it's encapsulated in software, a company's operations can be made much more efficient if they're modeled digitally before being executed.
Jamie Miller, senior vice president and chief information officer at General Electric, calls that "IT meets OT" and sees the combination changing her industry. "When you take these two disciplines that used to be separate and combine them, you can start to approach engineering and design differently, operate workflow differently, make factories brilliant." It's a philosophy that GE uses internally and builds into the products it sells.
Companies like GE have a lot of data — digital designs for manufactured parts, human-resources records, work orders from customers, service manuals — and this data tends to converge on human operators. A field technician might receive a work order to fix a wind turbine, visit the machine, consult documentation, call a colleague for specialized advice, order a replacement part, and finally make the repair.

The automation of design
Physical and biological design are about to get much more digital, says Autodesk's CTO.
One of the core ideas behind our Solid Conference is that software can replace physical complexity, and that it's getting easier for it to do so because the relationship between the physical and virtual worlds is becoming more fluid. Input tools like 3D scanners and computer vision software, and output tools like CNC machines and 3D printers are essentially translators between digital and physical. They make it possible to extract information from physical objects, compute on it, transform it, combine it with other data, and then "rematerialize" it.
I recently spoke with Autodesk CTO Jeff Kowalski about this convergence between physical and digital, and its impact on design. In his view, computers are about to go from mere drafting tables to full partners in the design process. They'll automate the tedious cycle of trial and error, and leave designers to guide aesthetics and experience. "Decades ago, someone came up with the term 'computer-aided design,' but what we've had up to now is really computer-aided documentation," he says. "Design has been accomplished solely in the head of the designer, and then the computer is used to document the outcome." Read more…
A Solid preview
Design in the hardware era, how big companies and small companies should interact, and the importance of data privacy
Our new Solid conference is less than a week away. To tide you over, here's a Solid video from a combined SFIoT, SF Hardware, and Sensored (SF) Meetup.
On stage, along with myself, are three Solid people: Rachel Kalmar, data scientist at Misfit Wearables and member of our program committee; Mike Kuniavsky, principal scientist at PARC and speaker on Functional Forms at Solid; and Dan Saffer, creative director at Smart Design, who will speak about microinteractions (and has written an O'Reilly book about microinteractions as well).

Going into Saturday's match against Iowa State, the Nebraska volleyball team held a 79-1 record advantage in its previous matchups against the Cyclones. They also had never lost a game in Ames, Iowa.
That made the result of the game a surprise for Husker and Cyclone fans alike.
After beginning the season 8-0, the No. 1 Huskers were handed their first loss by No. 25 ISU (23-25, 22-25, 25-20, 21-25) Saturday in four sets. The win marked the Cyclones (6-4) first victory against NU (8-1) at the Hilton Coliseum and their second win all-time against Nebraska.
NU coach John Cook said there wasn't just one factor that caused the loss on the road.
"We just didn't play well," Cook said.
In order to beat the No. 1 team in the AVCA Coaches Poll, the Cyclones had to play with more poise than they had all season. And they did.
The Huskers began the match with a service ace by senior Lauren Cook, which led to an 18-14 advantage in set one. However, NU's largest lead all night would not hold up against a hungry ISU lineup. The two teams would go on to tie six more times before the home team snagged the first set, 25-23.
The back and forth match would only continue in the preceding sets.
After beginning set two with a deficit, NU came back to tie it at 11-11 after a kill by Hannah Werth. The senior then assisted her team with another kill to give them their second lead in the set. Back-to-back kills by Gina Mancuso would then give them a 19-18 lead. However, just like in the first set, ISU did not back down. Despite cutting the lead as close to 23-22, the Huskers were blanked the rest of the way and lost their second straight set, 25-22.
The Huskers hit .158 in the first set and .163 in the second.
But it's not like the Huskers couldn't have captured its first two sets, according to Cook.
The NU players let every bit momentum they had slip through their hands.
"Every time we got two points, we missed a serve," Cook said. "We just didn't put any pressure on them. We kept letting them off."
After two sets Nebraska had three service aces, but committed 11 errors.
However, the team turned things around in the third set.
Junior Morgan Broekhuis nailed a kill to put the Huskers up 4-3 against the Cyclones. After two kills by junior Hayley Thramer to put NU up 16-12, Mancuso added another kill to take a 19-13 advantage. Nebraska never looked back and came out of the third set victorious against ISU, 25-20.
But that's as far as the winning would go for NU that match.
ISU put any hopes of a possible five set match to rest by beginning the fourth set 5-0. The Huskers could not get anything going offensively as Iowa State's lead grew to a 11-4 after 15 swings. The Huskers then came back to trail, 23-21, and looked to the momentum it was once looking for.
But it wasn't enough.
"We were outworked," Werth said. "They did a great job and fought every single point."
ISU's Tenisha Matlock sealed the victory with the last kill and sent Nebraska away with its first loss of the season.
Mancuso finished the match as the Huskers leading attacker with 18 kills, while Werth finished with 16. Nebraska was held to a .211 hitting percentage, its lowest all season.
ISU hit .182, but what made them have the upper hand on its counterparts were its total digs.
Iowa State out-dug Nebraska, 84-78, and also had four different hitters with double-digit kills.
So what does this match do for the Huskers?
Werth said NU's first loss provided more positives than negatives.
"We're glad it happened at the beginning of the season than the end," she said. "We're going to be watching a lot of film and understand the concepts it takes to get better. We can sit back and be victims or go out and make a change."
The team chooses the latter, Werth said.
"This team will do what is needed to succeed," she said. "We will have the confidence to make sure to not let this defeat beat us down."

I worked at Southwest Water full-time (More than 3 years)
Learn a lot about the water and waste water industry. Good benefits and will pay for your advancement in licensing paid for me to go to college to further my education Lots of overtime in the field
poor implementation of MRP and ERP software long hours company took a huge hit in 2011, many people lost their jobs during hurricane Ike disaster, I worked every day for 4 weeks, little recognition or bonus for my time away from my family. Was stationed at a facility with no resources and strict orders to not leave the facility. Some people brought me food, but I had to rely on my family to bring me essentials. Had to sleep in my truck for 3 days. Another higher ranking operator had a tree branch fall through his window, and they ordered me to swap company vehicles with him so I was driving around with a large hole in my windshield and a damaged truck. As a dispatcher management lead by the "fear for losing your job" attitude. Always coming up with procedures that made the job difficult. Upper management in the field "pawned" the West Regional Water Authority" monitoring system on to the dispatchers who were untrained to monitor the system. Any time there would be a major problem that occurred, dispatchers were targeted and fired.

Mashav is Israel's Agency for International Development Cooperation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Mashav is responsible for the design, coordination and implementation of the State of Israel's worldwide development and cooperation programs in developing countries. MASHAV believes that its greatest possible contribution to developing countries can be made in fields where Israel has relevant expertise accumulated during its own development experience as a young country facing similar challenges.[1] MASHAV's development programs are conducted through workshops and training in the fields of agriculture, education and medicine and are funded jointly with multinational organizations such as the OAS, the Inter-American Development Bank, the UN development plan, UNESCO and the Food and Agriculture Organization.
Since its inception in late 1957, Mashav has striven to share with the rest of the developing world the know-how and technologies which provided the basis for Israel's own rapid development. Mashav started as a modest program, focused on grassroots-level human capacity building at a time when Israel itself was still very much a developing country. It has since blossomed into an extensive program of cooperation throughout the developing world, with the aim of promoting sustainable development and social equity.
MASHAV grew gradually and organically in response to repeated requests on the part of the peoples that freed themselves from the yoke of colonialism and were seeking practical and political means of ridding themselves of poverty, hunger and disease that was the heritage of that era.[2]
Since its establishment, over 270,000 professionals from more than 132 countries have participated in Mashav's training programs. Mashav promotes the centrality of human resource enrichment and institutional capacity building in the development process – an approach which has attained global consensus, and implements this principle by offering professional training courses in Israel and in host countries and short and long-term professional consultations.
Mashav's philosophy is to encourage professionals from the developing world to find their own solutions to development issues and adapt them to the reality of their countries own specific needs and potential, guided by the international agreed principles of aid effectiveness such as demand driven programs, country ownership, improved coordination and more.
Mashav operates according to the needs and demands originating from the partner countries, as opposed to supply driven programs initiated by Israel that might not be relevant and effective elsewhere.
Mashav updates its professional training programs in face of current global challenges such as adaptation to climate change and food security, concentrating on human capacity building in developing countries by imparting know-how and transferring innovative technologies and tested methodologies adaptable to developing country needs. In events of natural disasters Mashav provides humanitarian assistance and participates in reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts.
Mashav's approach is to ensure social, economic and environmental sustainable development, joining the international community efforts of implementing the Millennium Development Goals. Since its inception, Mashav's activities in the developing world have been guided by the basic approach that development work is organic in nature. It is impossible to concentrate efforts in one area, such as food security, without providing proper attention to health care, community building and education. Only through a sustainable and comprehensive development program can measured results be obtained and the desired impact felt by those who need assistance the most.

Guild Information:
Hello, there <teamLUST> is a 12 hour a week semi-Hardcore Mythic raiding guild on Mal'Ganis. We are currently recruiting exceptional DPS to bolster our roster, our spots are competitive.
We are interested in talented players who will mesh well into our tight-knit group.
Server: Mal'Ganis *Central Time*
Website: http://www.teamlust.shivtr.com/
WowProgress: http://www.wowprogress.com/guild/us/...ting.tier16_10
Logs: http://www.warcraftlogs.com/guilds/3077/
Recruitment as of 3/29/2015
Restoration Druid
Balance Druid
DPS Warrior
Restoration Shaman
Raid schedule:
All invites start 15 minutes before raid start time, we pull as soon as we have a full group
Tuesday: 5:30PM - 9:30PM PST | 7:30PM - 11:30PM CST
Thursday: 5:30PM - 9:30PM PST | 7:30PM - 11:30PM CST
Monday: 5:30PM - 9:30PM PST | 7:30PM - 11:30PM CST
How we operate:
We do a type of loot council which takes into consideration who has received loot recently, performance, attendance and disposition.
Attendance is very critical, our raiders are expected to maintain 90% raid attendance but we understand that sometimes things come up and stuff happens; in such a scenario you are expected to post in the "Attendance" thread on our forums or contact an officer in advance.
We're all adults *20-30* and as such we like to joke around about a wide variety of stuff and things while we raid, as such we are looking for members who aren't easily offended by crude humor but know when it's time to get serious.
Raid Performance:
We expect our raiders to have immense knowledge of the class you are playing and perpetually be up-to-date with new and cutting edge information pertaining to your class; nothing other than full mastery of your class will be acceptable. This game has been out long enough and there are an innumerable amount of websites that one can utilize to gain further knowledge of ones class.
You are expected to provide your own 125 stat food.
We expect pre-potions as well as secondary potions on every pull.
You need to have Healing Tonics, we don't drop Healthstones
Flasks, that goes without saying.
All gear is expected to have the highest possible enchant for the slot.
Guild History:
We have been raiding with each other since TBC *most of us if not all have been raiding since vanilla* and are looking for more like minded individuals to acclimate into our clique, we're not interested in anyone who just shows up to raids without socializing at all.
Some past achievements include:
Obtaining 16 Amani Warbears, as well as a few of us having killed M'uru pre 3.0 nerf.
In WotLK we raided on Kel'Thuzad where we obtained Horde 3rd Black Proto Drakes as well as obtaining Plagued Proto Drakes. We then helped create <Intent> which is currently a ranked 30 US guild. *last tier they were top 20* Most of us took a break from the game at that time while some of us continued raiding going on to Kill Algalon, completing a Tribute to insanity, as well as killing Heroic LK prior to the 30% buff.
During Cata most of us were still on hiatus, a few of us cleared all relevant content Heroic Al'Akir: US 42, Sinestra: US 72, Heroic Ragnaros: US 53, Heroic Deathwing: US 26.
Upon our friends returning to the game we decided to form a 10man which happened during ToT and ended MoP with killing Heroic Garrosh in April, not the quickest kill but our roster was unstable at the time which has since changed.
While our raid schedule would be considered casual that's where the causality stops we make the most out of our time while raiding and try to progress as quickly as we can with the time we allot ourselves. We're all competitive players trying to drive each other to play their best.
That being said we're looking for stable, competitive players to join our group and help us push for a higher server/US rank.
-Irilis, <x00ry#1110> This is so you can contact me for preliminary questions, this does not substitute an application...

Sean Mannion tosses 4 TDs as Oregon St. pastes Cal
CORVALLIS, Ore. -- This was quite the return for Sean Mannion.
Mannion passed for 325 yards and four touchdowns, and Oregon State (No. 16 BCS, No. 15 AP) routed California 62-14 on Saturday night in what could be Jeff Tedford's final game as the Golden Bears' coach.
Markus Wheaton had seven catches for 99 yards for the Beavers (8-2, 6-2 Pac-12), who improved to 5-0 at Reser Stadium and will face Oregon in the Civil War next weekend. Terron Ward ran for 128 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Beavers rack up 559 yards of offense. The defense also forced three fumbles and an interception.
"We've been waiting for a game like this all year, with both sides clicking," cornerback Rashaad Reynolds said.
Isi Sofele had 104 yards rushing for the Bears (3-9, 2-7), who were hampered all season long by turnovers, penalties, missed assignments and sloppy tackling. Allan Bridgford was 18-of-31 passing for 132 yards.
Tedford, two-time conference coach of the year, has been at California since 2002, but the program has been in decline. The Bears are 15-22 in the past three seasons. This was the worst campaign for California since it went 1-10 in 2001.
"This is definitely a very disappointing season," Tedford said.
The high point of the year was back-to-back wins over UCLA and Washington State in October, but the Bears lost their final five games. They fell short of the postseason for the second time in three years.
"I don't know," Tedford said when asked if he would be returning as coach next season. "My job is to develop players. We have work to do. I'll go back to work tomorrow and get ready to keep going."
Oregon State got off to a 6-0 start for the first time in school history, but had dropped two of three before the easy victory over the Bears. The Beavers lost 27-23 at Stanford last week.
Mannion finished 24-of-34 passing in just over three quarters of work. A sophomore who took over as starting quarterback last season as a redshirt freshman, he led the Beavers to 4-0 start before he was sidelined by a knee injury that required surgery and caused him to miss two games.
He returned against Washington and threw four interceptions in a 20-17 loss. He was on the bench by the end of that game and backup Cody Vaz started against Arizona State. But Vaz was hurt in the final seconds of the loss to Stanford.
Mannion returned to the starting role this week and, other than an interception on the first drive of the game, he looked healthy and confident against the Bears. He had all four touchdown passes in the first half, tying a school record and helping the Beavers to a 35-7 lead at the break.
"Sean obviously prepared very well," Oregon State coach Mike Riley said. "And he had a look in his eye this week."
California's touchdowns came on a 9-yard run by Sofele in the first quarter and a 1-yard run for Bridgford in the third.

We know, we know: It's a total cliché to say a beauty product smells good enough to eat. But with this body butter's variety of dessert-worthy scents, we really can't help ourselves. Thanks to 30 percent shea butter content, this anything-but-ordinary moisturizer soothes skin but doesn't leave a filmy layer of residue behind. And it even helps relieve rashes, dry skin, eczema and psoriasis.
There is nothing I can say to state how much I love this creme! It smells wonderful (Bananas & Baobabs), wonderful feeling when applied, lasts a long period of time and doesn't make you overly oily - which is always the downside of body creme. I have used this for my hands, knees, elbows and even for my nose during the tissue assault of the wintertime! (Though not recommended for facial use).
I have not had to reorder a full size, because my sample has lasted me for so long - I received my sample 3 months ago.
This is by far my favorite hand cream. The sample was larger than I expected and you really need just a small amount. It has lasted me over a month. I am requesting my husband order this for me for Valentine's Day :)
It smells amazing and does an excellent job of nourishing my winter wind chapped hands.
I am a little squeamish when it comes to body lotion and have been coming up lately as a sort of "Goldilocks" of Body creams. However, I really enjoyed this one. It smells like Bubbleyum gum that I loved as a kid and works well on my dry elbows. I am used to body creams having a sort of whipped texture but this lotion is very thick. It does the job and does not take much of the product at all. I got one as a sample and I still have several uses left. Great product!!5
This creme is awesome. It is so concentrated you only need a small amount. It smells like a banana Laffy Taffy which is a bonus. My husband is a Diesel mechanic and suffers from severely dry hands. He uses this everyday after work and instantly feels hydrated. It's a great buy!5
I live in CO and we've been having really dry, windy, and below freezing weather. I definitely used the cream, feels nice on - even on my lips, the smell is kind of strong, but in time - you get used to it. The cream is very luscious that I even rubbed a little on my ends, a little static bc of dryness in my hair. The container could be different, but I was using a sample size - so if you try to use your fingertips, definitely in my nails. I'm sure a full size would've been easier, but if it was in a bottle or tube like container - it would be just perfect!!4

Blu-ray Review: Fun Supernatural Drama of Engaging 'The Fades'Submitted by BrianTT on February 27, 2012 - 12:16pm
CHICAGO – Sorry SyFy fans and those of you addicted to CW goodies like "The Vampire Diaries" and "Supernatural," but if I could have only one network for genre TV it would be BBC America. "Doctor Who," "Torchwood," "Being Human" — all rule. And the latest addition to the arsenal of this great network is "The Fades," the first season of which was recently released on Blu-ray and DVD.

CHICAGO – "My only friend is either a lunatic or Heather Langenkamp." It's clever lines like that keep BBC's "The Fades" from becoming yet-another teen supernatural drama (the Brit's "The Vampire Diaries," if you will) along with a relative consistency of tone and with some strong performances.

Great Service
They serve all you can eat/drink; fresh toast, jam, cereal, milk, orange juice & coffee. Their breakfast room is kinda small so you might have to wait a little bit for a seat. Great service, they gave us a small suite with sofa, fridge, plates & utensils for double price room.
You get what you pay for
For the price that we paid for this hotel, we get a decent accomodation with a private bathroom.
The room is small but clean, the bathroom is clean, it's got television and telephone, and there is no charge for using the phone for a toll free number. They cleaned our room everyday and we got clean towels everyday. The staffs are friendly and helpful. The breakfast area is cozy. We got a free breakfast in the morning which consist of toast with butter and jelly, breakfast cereal, milk, coffee, and orange juice.
There is no air condition in the room, so we have to open the window to cool off the room. The trouble came when it started to rain which happens a lot in London. The rain would come in through the open window, but if we close the window, the room could become rather warm.
The location is not too great especially in the evening. It is not recommended for a woman traveller to walk alone at night around this area. But it is relatively close to a train station where many tube lines stop. It's about 10 minute walk from the hotel to the King Cross Station.

"ListingSpark has been a huge part of our real estate business. We buy and sell multiple properties a year, and Listing Spark provides a low cost alternative to selling our properties while still delivering the service required to close the deal. I use them for all my listings."

"ListingSpark sounded like they offered the service of a realtor at the fees of "For Sale by Owner". I Heard that they do that along with provide professional photos, contracts, for sale signs, digital lock box, and counsel for around the same price and thought it made a lot of sense to try if the service costs practically the same.
2.5 days after listing my house with ListingSpark, I received a full price offer. I would highly recommend this service to anyone that wants to use them and is looking to save on realtor commissions.
