BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) -- Eighteen teams from area businesses and organizations, including WBKO gathered to compete in this year's Spell-a-bration tonight. The adult spelling bee raises money for Community Education which provides after-school programs for children, and continuing education opportunities for adults. As you can see, the teams are invited to be a little creative with their themes and costumes.
"They really get into it. We have several tables as you'll see here that are dressed up. We kind of encourage them to do their tables and their teams and just really have fun ith it, because that's what it's all about," said Community Education's Emily Ulber.
The team from Community Action won tonight's competition. They followed last year's winners from the Warren County Public Library.

Was looking for a reasonably priced wedding ring, and I needed it fairly quickly. I was able to compare several rings with this one on the Overstock website, and I am very, very happy with it. The diamonds have a lot of sparkle, the ring is very dainty and very pretty. I was a bit skeptical about buying a wedding ring on line, but it is exactly what I was looking for, and the quality is excellent.. Even though it states it is an anniversary band, I find it is very similar to other wedding rings also on this site, and I am using it as a wedding ring.Read More

"Ghostbusters": 10 Facts About the Franchise You Thought You Knew
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15 this Wednesday, it'd be all Image for me – starting with Nowhere Men #3 (Image, $2.99). The Beatles as a scientific supergroup, through the lens of Dr. Strangelove? Let's do this. I've been a big fan of Nate Bellegarde for a while, and this book finally seems to capture what's unique about him – his comedy, his stark scientific acumen, and his humanism. After that I'd get Glory #32 (Image, $3.99). Beautiful cover by Ricken here, and reads like a great manga building up to some epic battle. After that I'd get Brian Wood and Ming Doyle's Mara #2 (Image, $2.99). I tried to hold back my expectations before reading Issue 1, and I was blown away – so now Issue 2 has something to prove. Finally, I'd get Invincible #100 (Image, $3.99) (Cory Walker's cover, if you want to know!). I've said it before, but I'll say it again: I think Invincible is better than The Walking Dead. No need to compare the two really, though, because no matter how you cut it, this series is great … and what Kirkman and Ottley have planned for the 100th issue looks to be unique – both for the promised deaths and the promise of seeing what could have been had Mark Grayson chosen differently.
If I had $30, I'd make up for lost time and get Brian Ralph's Cave-In (Drawn & Quarterly, $14.95) . I'm reticent to admit this, but I've never read this book. I loved Daybreak, but never found a copy or the motivation to seek out more … but this Wednesday that will change.
For splurging, I already have most of this in the single issues, but I can't help but splurge on the new collection X-Men: Mutant Massacre (Marvel, $34.99). This was my first crossover in comics, buying back-issues before I discovered events like Crisis on Infinite Earths and Secret Wars. In my rose-colored glasses, it's an ideal crossover for not being too overbearing and relating to a conflict or situation that isn't superhero-specific. Love the Morlocks, love Uncanny X-Men and the associated books around this time, so I'm buying this and spending an evening enjoying it all over again.
To best understand a creator's project, I typically like to learn how the storyteller views her main character. In this week's interview, artist Ming Doyle immediately provided that insight into the star of Mara, her six-issue Image Comics collaboration with writer Brian Wood.
As she explained to me, while Mara is a volleyball player, it's the character's celebrity that "is the core of her being." Doyle clearly relishes the chance to draw "futurecity gridlock," and she does a good job conveying such scenes. In discussing her craft, it struck me that while respect for her work has been growing steadily, it appears she's just beginning to get comfortable with her storytelling talents (while continually striving to improve upon them).
Comic Book Resources recently ran a preview of Mara #2, which goes on sale Wednesday. Wood and Doyle together tell an engaging tale. If you missed the first issue, this week would be a good time to pick up two issues and see what you're missing.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, where we take a look at the comics, books and other things the Robot 6 crew have been reading lately. We kick off the new year with Brian Cronin from Comics Should Be Good! as our special guest. In addition to running our sister blog, Brian is also an author, having written two books on comics trivia. He also runs the blog Urban Legends Revealed, where he talks about sports and entertainment urban legends.
To see what Brian and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below …
Only a handful of comics were released on Wednesday, what with it being a skip week for Diamond Comic Distributors. What did come out, though, could be described as "event" comics — an anniversary issue, crossover kick-offs and several first issues and specials — including Mara, a new miniseries by Brian Wood and Ming Doyle.
"Mara is one of the most famous people on the planet, a superstar athlete with widespread name recognition, celebrity endorsements, her own broadcast network — not so shabby for a girl in her late teens," Wood told Comic Book Resources in September. "She is a member of a society that places their ultimate emphasis on physical achievement, whether it be in sports or the waging of war. So when she does start to manifest powers, this is pretty significant. Everything she's accomplished up to this point is immediately suspect. It looks like she cheated. It's hard to overestimate the implications of that in the world she lives in."
Here is what folks are saying about it:
Vince Ostrowski, Multiversity Comics: "Wood's goal is to clearly present us with a future world that is a magnification of our own. The NFL is the most watched programming week in and week out, and while there is no inherent harm in enjoying a sport, there is clearly a lot of ulterior stuff going on in the marketing and the business side of things. Athletes get paid salaries that are more and more outrageous every year and advertising seems to pervade everything, as certain sports see players covered in logos. Even playing fields and specific games are sponsored by companies who have a financial stake in the popularity of sports. Wood has always allowed a bit of politics or social commentary into his work, but is careful in doing so. The enjoyment of the sport itself is not condemned, and the satire of the business side of things is handled with subtlety and class."
This has been a year of change in comics — for creators, for individual titles, for companies and for the industry at large. For Brian Wood, it was professionally one of his most volatile years since he quit his day job as a designer to work in comics full-time. It saw Wood end his twin creator-owned titles at Vertigo (DMZ and Northlanders), end his exclusive contract with DC Comics, and begin a new era mixing creator-owned with an unprecedented (for him) number of work-for-hire books
As we stand on the edge of this year and peer into the next, Wood is looking to build on 2012 projects like Conan the Barbarian, The Massive and Ultimate Comics X-Men with a new creator-owned series, Mara, debuting next week from Image Comics, and then on Jan. 9 launching his highest-profile project to date: Star Wars, a highly anticipated Dark Horse monthly set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back and featuring familiar characters like Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and Han Solo. Brian Wood Month redux? Perhaps.
Comic Book Resources has interviewed Wood about each of his upcoming projects, so in this conversation I'm able to focus on the big picture, addressing his career and the context of his projects. Wood and I discuss changes at DC that led to his departure, what could have been had he stayed, and his plans both inside and outside of comics.
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. We've each picked the five comics we're most anticipating in order to create a list of the best new stuff coming out two months from now.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.

Avengers #1 (Marvel): Has Marvel NOW! already gotten enough attention? Maybe so, but that's partly the reason I'm highlighting this specific book. In the rising tide that's pushed all of the Marvel NOW relaun!ches, for me — as a fan and journalist — the marketing has dulled the unique appeal of every book. Flipping through Previews and giving this a deeper critical eye, it made me realize – this is Jonathan Hickman and Jerome Opeña doing Avengers, the de facto flagship book of Marvel since 2004. Opeña really turned a corner with Uncanny X-Force, and I'm interested to see how Hickman brings his meticulous plotting to a biweekly book with a cast larger than Circus of the Stars. And what's interesting is that he's done a version of this when he relaunched the "Ultimate" version of the Avengers in Ultimate Comics: Ultimates. I'm not saying this will be that re-heated over, but it'll be interesting to see how he takes roughly the same characters and bobs instead of weaves.
Hiroaki Samura's Emerald and Other Stories (Dark Horse): Samura's Blade of the Immortal was a major manga when it debuted, but when you have one artist doing a long, drawn-out story it tends to dull in the eyes of fans on the outside looking in. But his short-story collection Ohikkoshi was fun, modern and completely different – a great bite-size snack from the eight-course meal/buffet that is Blade of the Immortal. This collection looks to be like that, centered around Samura's western teen drama Emerald. I've heard of another set of stories called Bradherley's Coach about a family whose business is to ferry orphans to their new home, which I hope is in here as well.
Mara #1 (Image): I've been loving Brian Wood's work since he jumped to AiT-PlanetLar too many years ago, and seeing him branch out with another new series makes me wish for Brian Wood Month all over again. Besides swami Brian, it's the artist he's doing this with that really deserves some attention; Ming Doyle has killed it in her work featured on Project: Rooftop (shameless plug), and when she moved to doing shorts for Marvel in things like Fantastic Four she showed she could really play with the big boys. Seeing Wood and Doyle doing a sports-themed action series set in the future, this is a unique-looking story that'll be at the top of my stack when it comes out on Dec. 26.
Hip Flask: Ourborous (Image): In comics today there's a rare group of artists that are like J.R.R. Tolkien's Ents; an older race who were once masters of the world but now subsist on making rare, but eventful appearances. Alan Moore is this way; so is Art Adams. To that list I'd like to add Ladrönn. This has my money, even if I didn't know how great a story this is.
Orcs, Vol. 1: Forged For War (First Second): Speaking of Tolkien, am I the only one that felt compassion for the Orcs in Lord of the Rings? Well, this reprinted graphic novel by writer Stan Nicholls and artist Joe Flood brings the orc race to the forefront. Orc Stain was great, and this could be too!

Creators | Brian Wood and Ming Doyle talk about their new comic Mara, which will debut from Image Comics in December and features a volleyball player with superpowers in a world where sports and warfare are no longer so far apart. While Wood is not really a sports fan, he is fascinated by the portrayal of athletes in popular culture: "'This is tied into the superhero thing, recognizing parallels between the two,' Wood says. 'I think there's a lot to talk about there and part of me feels I'll need more than one comic series to do it in. We'll see.'" [USA Today]
The first Image Expo kicked off Friday in Oakland, California, with a keynote speech from Publisher Eric Stephenson that emphasized creator relationships as the company's foundation, and laid out more than a half-dozen titles that will be announced this weekend for release later this year:
• Happy!, by Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson, a mysterious title the writer says is "in a genre I've never really tackled before — but with a bizarre twist, of course." It's the first of several potential Image projects from Morrison. [iFanboy]
• Confirmation of a third volume of Phonogram, by Kieron Gillen, Jamie McKelvie and Matthew Wilson, called The Immaterial Girl. Gillen says the six-issue miniseries, which will likely debut in November, is "primarily about the war between coven queen witch Emily Aster and the half of her personality she sold to whatever lies on the other side of the screen. It's about identity, eighties music videos and further explorations of Phonogram's core 'Music = Magic' thesis. There is horror. There are jokes. There are emotions. There may even be a fight sequence. It also takes A-ha's 'Take On Me' with far too much seriousness – which, for us, is the correct amount of seriousness." [Kieron Gillen's Workblog]
• Chin Music, by Steve Niles and Tony Harris, described by the artist as "a 1930's Noir, Gangster, horror story." [Tony Harris]

2008 A Cry for Help (And an Answer)
posted by September 24 at 8:15 AMon
Received via email yesterday afternoon:
In 2004, I tried to get into to Chop Suey on election night in order to be with like-minded folks, but it was too full. This year I've never been so hopeful, yet never been so scared shitless of getting my heart broken again by this country. I am already planning on taking November 5th off from work in anticipation of a complete mental breakdown. Any chance you're planning a big (bigger than Chop Suey) election night party or a post-election celebration/commiseration?
Kristin, your angst is our command. Behold:
Everyone: Mark you calendars. Kristin: Hope to see you there.

More than half of the top 200 U.S. housing markets saw foreclosure numbers rise, according to a new report, but not where you might expect; investors should take note.
A mortgage analyst says, "The thought is that there are a bunch of homeowners on the fence who haven't refi'd who will all jump in thinking they will miss out. The theory is 100 percent nonsense."
Signed contracts to buy existing homes fell 4.3 percent in December from the previous month, according to a monthly index from the National Association of Realtors.
Adam Slater, managing director at Laxfield Capital, tells CNBC that their program will lend outside of prime central London but will focus on good quality properties with resilient valuations.
Faced with heavy competition from a hot rental market, some of the nation's home builders are turning some of their resources to building multi-family, rental apartment buildings.
"The greatest concern in the market is the inventory situation," said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Associate of Realtors.
New rules could make mortgage servicing more expensive, especially for those specialty servicers and level the playing field between them and the big bank servicers.
For nine straight months, national home prices have been in the positive, and the gains are only getting larger.
This new asset class could offer all kinds of investors a chance to get in on an old and well-tested source of revenue.

The aircraft, a Cessna, had problems on takeoff and tried to
return to Charleroi to make an emergency landing but crashed
on the side of the runway, airport officials said.
"There was a problem on takeoff and they tried to come back,
but unfortunately the plane crashed," said Melissa Milioto,
an airport spokeswoman. "Five people were killed."
Firefighters sprayed water on the plane that was reduced to a
wreck of twisted metal, with only the tail still visible, TV
images showed.
The airport was closed immediately after the crash, which
happened just before 10am (local time), and reopened at 4pm
after an investigation on the runway was completed.
Ryanair, which is the heaviest user of the airport, said it
cancelled four departures and diverted inbound flights due to
the accident that happened at the start of the Belgian school
half-term holiday, when many families go abroad to ski.
Charleroi airport, also known as Brussels South Charleroi,
serves as the country's second international airport after
Brussels' Zaventem airport and expects to handle 140,000
passengers over the half-term holiday period.
Airport officials said the five killed were three young
children, their mother and grandfather - who was also the
pilot of the private aircraft - and were all Belgian
Belgian Prime Minister Elio Di Rupo offered his condolences
to the family of the victims via his official Twitter

Faculty and Staff pledge $200,000 toward new Library and Graduate Center
Pizza can be a strong motivator. Still have your doubts? Just ask the 152 members of the St. Catharine College faculty and staff. On March 14, SCC President William D. Huston issued a challenge to SCC faculty and staff to raise money toward the construction of the Emily W. Hundley Library and Center for Graduate Studies. The challenge consisted of eight teams - each racing to be the first to have 100-percent participation among their members. With a goal of $200,000 over the next four years and the promise of a pizza party for the first team to have all of their members sign-up, team captains wasted no time recruiting.
The March Madness campaign was designed to kick-start the fund drive for the new $8 million project. President Huston was hoping to have 100-percent participation from all SCC faculty and staff. On April 1, at the end of the two-week campaign which President Huston dubbed "March Madness", faculty and staff were told the results of their effort.
"I can't tell you how many comments I've had out in the communities and across the state about the ambitious goals we have at St. Catharine College," Huston told the crowd. "It's a huge price for progress and that huge price is taken in many, many small steps. I don't want anybody to think that we take change lightly at St. Catharine. It doesn't just happen. It's something that each and every one of you has embraced, you believe in and support each day you come to work. I thought hard about whether to challenge the faculty and staff. I wondered. 'Well, what if it's only partly successful or not successful at all?' But you have provided the momentum to take this project forward."
"We wanted to raise $200,000. That was a pretty ambitious goal," said Jenna Copple, Vice President for Advancement. "I have run many employee campaigns and I have never had 100-percent participation before, but we achieved 100-percent participation for a grand total of $205,464. This is the first time in my career that we reached 100-percent. You are very special people. Thank you very much."
"I don't know what to say after that," added President Huston. "I want to express my deepest appreciation to everyone for their consideration and thoughtfulness that you gave in considering a gift to this campaign. There is not another college in the state of Kentucky, or probably nationally, that has the commitment like we have at St. Catharine. This reiterates to me one more time how you feel about this institution, your job and what we do every day. This is going to send an extremely clear message to the Board of Trustees and I plan to take Jenna's report to them and ask them to add a zero to the end of that number. I think all of you should give yourselves a big round of applause."
So which team finished as the first to have all of their members contribute? It was The Dynamites led by Evelyn and Jim Silliman. Their team members will receive special incentives; however, since 100-percent participation was achieved, Copple told the assembled crowd that everyone would enjoy a pizza party.
Most of the College's employees opted to contribute through payroll deduction stretched out over four years.
For their effort, not only will SCC employees receive a few slices of pizza, but now they have a piece of St. Catharine College they can call their own.

Financial Aid: Applying for Aid
The FAFSA is the only application required to be considered for financial aid at the University of Portland. However, there are several steps in the application process. Not all steps are required by all students but you should review each step and determine which is required for your situation.
- Complete the FAFSA - The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is available January 1 for the following academic year. You must submit the FAFSA annually in order to apply for federal, state, and some institutional financial aid. Once we receive your FAFSA, we will send you an email confirmation. You can prepare to file your FAFSA by completing the FAFSA on the Web Worksheet. This worksheet is simply a guide and is not required. If you need help with the FAFSA please refer to the FAFSA Help section of our website for additional resources.
- Complete the Oregon Scholarship Application (Oregon Residents only) - If you are not an Oregon resident, check with your own state to see if there are scholarships you can apply for and bring with you to the University of Portland.
- Review your Award Letter and the Financial Aid Handbook- Here's what a Sample Award Letter looks like. Yours will be customized to your unique situation. You can also review your award in Self Serve.
- Submit Additional Requirements - Please submit only what is requested of you. If you have questions about what is required, please contact the Office of Financial Aid.
- Complete Verification (if selected) - The Office of Financial Aid will inform you of what forms and documents are required. Please submit only what is requested of you.
- Apply for Loans - If you decide you need to use the loans that were offered to you on your award letter, there are several more steps to complete before the funds will be disbursed to your student account. More information is available at Apply for Loans.
- Complete a Special Circumstances Appeal, if applicable - We recognize that the FAFSA may not always portray a clear picture of your financial situation. Although considerations for specific situations are limited, we may be able to give additional consideration for certain situations.
- Complete a Proxy Access, if applicable - If you would like the Office of Financial Aid to be able to release your financial aid information to someone else, such as a parent, spouse, or scholarship organization, go to Self Serve and complete the Proxy Access set up. Select the Proxy Access tab and following the instructions. Additional information regarding Proxy Access can be found by visiting up.edu/parents.
- Apply for Outside Scholarships - Students should apply for outside scholarships each and every year they are at UP. Outside scholarships are a great way to minimize what you have to pay out of pocket or borrow to pay for school. If you need help getting your search started, check out our Step by Step - Applying for Scholarships help sheet or Fastweb 12 Tips for Winning a Scholarship.

Tap Into Business Solutions! This is just part of the article. Want the complete story, plus a host of other brand-boosting articles to make your job easier? Sign up!
In mid-August, GCI magazine hosted a successful webinar on the global skin care market. It was great, because our guest speakers were well-versed on the subject and they came ready to share their knowledge of this phenomenal category, despite the fact that neither one had ever presented a webinar before that day.
As business professionals, they understand the importance of delivering products their customers want through channels both comfortable and convenient, so adapting to the webinar format was just their acceptance of another tool of the modern business world. Linda Marshall, president and owner of Elysée Scientific Cosmetics, runs a successful 85-year-old skin care company, selling its products through television home shopping and the Internet. Her relationship with HSN is just seven years old, but as she told the webinar audience, it has been a great one for her company and for her customers.
Virginia Lee, a senior research analyst with Euromonitor International, is in the business of following trends and knows full well the changes brought on by global consumer acceptance of the Internet as an information resource, a point of recommendation tool and a retail channel. She sailed through the webinar like a pro, because she knows her business and her market inside out. The rise of the Internet may be the single biggest consumer force ever, and has fueled business trend discussions for more than a decade. Companies finding success on the Internet, in home shopping and with other new channels were following trends, but were successful first because their products answered a consumer need.
Want the rest of the story? Simply sign up. It's easy. Plus, it only takes 1 minute and it's free!
Our new Web site, still at www.GCImagazine.com, launched in September and takes the delivery of information a big step further, by making years of industry information—including the very latest—available to users in the most intuitive way possible. Now, one search can deliver to your browser everything on the GCI site pertaining to your area of interest, including articles, news, announcements, event listings, photo galleries, videos and more. No longer do you have to wade through a site developed around a magazine metaphor—features, columns, departments—to find what you're looking for. The site was built based on ideas from a representative group of customers, and their participation is evident. If you haven't rediscovered the GCI brand through the new site, I hope you will visit soon.
It is important to stay current with the trends affecting your customers, and for most of us, that means adapting our messages to the Internet and other points of sale—changing old ways for new ones as dictated by customers. In this issue, the GCI magazine editorial team presents an update on a few of the intriguing trends bringing you new ways to serve your customers.

Greater Vancouver Hike – Sea to Summit
The Sea to Summit Trail will inevitably be compared to the Grouse Grind, but they are nothing alike. The Grind is an gruelling workout, the Sea to Summit is a real day hike, with fabulous viewpoints, varied terrain, and spots to take enjoyable breaks. The only similarities with the Grind are the licensed patio at the top and the gondola waiting to bring you back to the bottom. Continue reading

Well, here's my selection of a few of my favorite songs at the moment. I've been going through a bit of a punk phase lately so I had a really hard time leaving an Adolescents song off of here. Anyways, I really dislike rap and most of today's latest and not so greatest. I would rather listen to a dog bark than hear Lil' Wayne sing. In fact, he sounds kind of like a sick dog. This is what I will be listening to this weekend in lake Santa Barbara.
"Hope" by the Descendents
I've been listening to this song a lot lately to get psyched to surf, especially before a heat. It has a pretty catchy little sound to it.
"Look Back and Laugh" by Minor Threat
If you drink a big cup of coffee and then listen to this song, you will probably crap your pants but you will be so amped that you could go fight the crowd at Rincon. Oh damn, I just gave away my secret! This whole CD is insane. I was in Bali with Rob a few weeks ago and I never would have thought in a milliion years that he would listen to Minor Threat, but we agreed that they are mental and blasted it before every surf.
"Kiss Off" by the Violent FemmesThis is a really weird creepy little drawing in this video, but it is a great song. I really enjoy this band because there music is really different and raw sounding. Some of it sounds kinda shitty and individually, they play some odd notes, but the way it all comes together is really unique. I dig it.
"When the Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash Johnny Cash is a legend. He has so many good songs, but this one is one of my favorites. It's one of those songs that puts me in a good mood and is uplifting. A nice one to listen to when your on a drive and it's a sunny day. Cash's twist on country is amazing but some of the country music today I can't stand. This will definitely be one for the weekend if the sun decides to make an appearance.
"No Class" by Motorhead These guys are bad ass and so is Bruce Irons. Every
time i hear this song i picture bruce getting blown out of pits at back
door and pipe. He's the man out there and that section in the Bruce Movie
gets me so pumped to surf. Surf movie parts need to bring back this kind
of music. I'm sick of all the electro dance techno whatever you wanna call
it bullshit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EIIthiGLlA
"Fade To Black" by Metallica I couldn't leave this one off. Metallica will always be one of my favorites. This song is insane. Kirk Hammett's solo at the end of this song is out of this world. I really like Metallica's contrasts between mellow and slow to super heavy. I used to idolize these guys and only listen to them, but then when I started having anger problems- I decided i should mix it up a bit. Haha.

We recently upgraded from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 and I just noticed that the object created in AD when the server was joined to the domain is in the Computers OU. I want to move the object to a different OU so that it can be managed via Group Policy but I'm concerned that doing so will break something as Exchange relies heavily on Active Directory. Has anyone done this before?
There is absolutely no problem with moving the Exchange server into a different OU. It's not relying on that computers OU for anything and not getting anything from it. The only GPOs it is getting are the ones applying to then entire domain and its site, which it would receive anyways. Just make sure you don't drop it in an OU that has funky policies you wouldn't want applied to your Exchange server.
My recommendation, actually, would be to move it out of the Computers OU. You want your AD organized, sane, and manageable. You're not going to get that by leaving computers in the default Computers OU.
I've had mine in a separate OU for ages, and it hasn't caused me any harm.
The Computers container is the default location for the Exchange server object, just as it is for any non-DC workstation or server. I don't generally recommend moving the Exchange server object and my suggestion would be to leave it where it is, create a new GPO for the settings you want to apply to the Exchange server, link the GPO to the domain, and use Security Filtering to make sure the GPO is applied only to the Exchange server.
On a side note: The server is being managed by Group Policy. The Default Domain GPO as well as any site level GPO's or other GPO's linked to the domain are being applied to the server in it's current location in the Computers container.

I have a tiny "problem" which is a bit sensitive, so please be kind to me. I want to tell you the whole story but I will also try to keep it short.
I have been working with web since I was 14 years old, I am now 30. I started making web sites in wordpress to other people for some years ago. I only made web sites for friends (often friends with their own companies) or acquaintances so I could trade web site for a favour.
Recently I made a web site for a customer I didn't knew before. I went to my favourite furniture store and asked them if they needed help with their web site. And they did. The owner of the store was kind of hard to work with since she used to talk "bullshit/slander" about her former web developer. She used to talk about how easy it must be to make a web site: "it's just to push some buttons and then it's ready" and "my last web developer wanted so much money for his site when he said he used tools for making my web site" and so on. She also kept talking about how bad the last developer was, since the web site was hacked. Every time when I talked with her about installing plugins, she kept worrying about being hacked again. Over and over again, even though I told her I made my best securing the web site.
However, at first the plan was to make a simple web site with presentation only. For this I said I wanted $1007. She said she has no cash but I could get furniture from her. I said that is completely ok, and I told her I wanted a bedstead (worth $2 444) and a big chair/throne (worth $1 438). She said that was ok (and I thought she ment that's my payment). Then she talked about wanting a web shop too and we did not really discuss the price. I had never made a web shop before, and I told her that. I should make a try first, I said. And I made it work, so we released the site.
I also managed some newsletters and taught her how Facebook Pages works. Most of the time went to convince her about things she kept asking over and over again, like security, bad things about her former web developer and so on. I tried to be pedagogic and to not involve my feelings, even though she got on my nerves all the time.
However, now the web site is released and online and she asked me what I want as payment. I answered I want the bedstead first and then the throne. She asked how much the site is worth and I answered that I haven't thought of that. I said that a plain site is worth about $1007 and then there is the web shop which is worth a lot too. She asked "But the web shop isn't working..". I didn't understand what she claimed. "Yes, it does? That's what I have been trying to get to work for a while", I replied. Then she said: "Well I cannot give you the bedstead since it's worth much more than your web site, you can have the throne". I replied that I need a bedstead first, since I have none at home. "Well, I can't give it to you, you will have to pay the difference ($1 006)". I said I do not have the money and she said "Oh it's not expensive! One customer told me that the bedstead costs $3 594 in other stores!". I didn't knew what to answer. "Well, I still do not have the money, I thought I would get it", I replied. "I cannot give it to you, but you can have the throne", she said.
I got confused and I didn't want to answer anything to make her angry and just perhaps hanging up or telling me I cannot have anything at all or something like that. So I said that I will take the throne and she said that's ok with her.
Then I said I did not know when to get it, since it's real big. She said she could transport it to me in her truck. I told her that would be wonderful. Then she started.. "Hmm, but I don't know.. how much is your web site worth? How many hours have you been working..?". I didn't understand anything. I didn't answer and then she said "Ok, I can transport it to you on wednesday", and I replied that's ok with me. Then we hang up.
I feel so bad right now. I feel like being taking advantage of. I feel like I have done totally wrong. I have spent so many hours making this web site. I am very happy to get the throne, but I thought we agreed about the bedstead too. I thought she could show a little humility.
I know I should have made an agreement with her. I know I should have told in the beginning that the web shop is worth at least $2 875. I should do like my male friends do, exaggerate the price and effort.
No, I want to know from you what I could have done better. How do you work with bothersome customers like this one? What should I have done?
And.. what will I do now?
I do not want to fight, and since I have accepted the throne and we have no agreement, I guess there is nothing for me to do?
She asked me if I could help her continuously with the site: sending news letters and more. I replied that I absolutely could do this.
Now, how will I do this, best? Should I tell her "I take $143 an hour" or "I want the sofa" or something like that? How do I act smart?
All your tips and tricks are welcome and please be kind to me. I already feel bad for this.
Thank you for your time!

State reveals area district rankings
Like all school districts throughout the state of Mississippi, both New Albany and Union County School Districts learned the results of the school accountability rankings this week and the reactions are mixed.
While Union County schools have generally seen improvement in their test scores and rankings, New Albany remained somewhat stagnant compared to last year.
Under the new rating system, revealed in the fall of 2009, schools receive a ranking based on a scale, ranging from from "Star" to "Failing." The system was designed by the Mississippi Department of Education for the purpose of increasing student scores on state standardized tests and examining which schools had individual students who showed improvement over the previous year. The system also judges high schools and school districts by graduation rates.
Union County showed an improvement in its Quality Distribution Index score, from 166 in 2008-09 to 169 in 2009-10. Both Ingomar and Myrtle Attendance Centers became "High Performing" schools this year, with Ingomar increasing its QDI by to 173 and Myrtle to 171. West Union, for the second year in a row, was named a "High Performing" school with a QDI of 175.
"We're really excited about the results," said Union County School District Superintendent Ken Basil. "Ingomar went up nine points this year, which we're very proud of."
Not all the news was good for the school district, however, as East Union Attendance Center is once again listed under "Academic Watch," with a QDI of 160.
"Their tests scores did improve by two points," Basil said. "But we didn't meet growth in some areas. We've already got a plan in place that will hopefully help us improve our results next year."
Meanwhile New Albany School District Superintendent Charles Garrett said there were mixed feelings about his district's standings.
"Our overall QDI went down from a 181 last year to a 180 this year," Garrett said. "It's the first time in five years that our scores have not continued to improve. On the one hand we were a little disappointed that we didn't see an increase, but, on the other hand, we still are among the top 15 or so in the state, in terms of our scores.
The high school's QDI, which Garrett said is one of the higher in the state, remained at 192 for the second year in a row, which once again gave the school a "Successful" ranking. Though the elementary school's score dipped three points to 188, it remained a "High Performing" school. The middle school dropped two points to 169 and missed its growth achievement by a thousandth of a percent, Garrett said.
"Our actual score is higher than some of the school districts that received a higher accreditation than us," Garrett said. "But the problem is that when you make the same score basically two years in a row, you lose ground under the new system."
In fact, the new scale was designed with the idea in mind that ratings would increase year by year. Therefore, schools are required to consistently improve in their QDI numbers every year in order to achieve the same rankings.
Garrett said that the schools have plans in place to make sure that they see improvement next year.
"We are actually carrying forth with the plan that we have in place," Garrett said. "The principals have all presented their plans to the school board. We are acclimating a lot of newer teachers into the system, because we had a lot of retirements last year. The major thrust of the plan, though is that we continue to have consistent growth every year."

Sep 15, 2013Ok this game would be ok on pc or apple device because most simulators work best on those but on Xbox?! Now the reason I am giving it a 4 because its not the worst game out there but simulators work best on PCs (my opinion!). If you want a bad game try big rigs over the road racing.
Dec 13, 2013At 30 bucks, Farming Simulator 2013 mainly reminds us why the expression "bought the farm" has such negative connotations.
Oct 18, 2013Thank God our daily bread and cereal is not dependent on this game.
Oct 18, 2013Farming and breeding must be a very boring and repetitive activity, or at least this is what Farming Simulator 2013 makes us believe. Giants Software made a pretty impressive reproduction of the farming activities and tools, but they totally forgot that a game needs to entertain or at least involve its public.

Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown said his Republican opponent has "fallen far short on the honesty and integrity quotient."
GOP state Treasurer Josh Mandel called the incumbent a liar who represents everything that's wrong in Washington.
And then things got ugly.
"Josh Mandel, as we know, has trouble telling the truth," Brown said. "We just can't trust Josh Mandel to tell the truth. We can't trust Josh Mandel to do his job. We just can't trust Josh Mandel to show up for work. We can't trust Josh Mandel not to hire his cronies...."
Mandel responded, "The senator was just asked about bipartisanship. And instead of answering the question, he went on the attack on me. ... He did not offer one bipartisan proposal."
Both candidates offered pointed comments during the second of three debates Thursday in Columbus in what has become one of the most heated statewide races in Ohio.
They were asked about trade and tax policies, the federal auto bailout, Obamacare and other issues that have been common themes throughout the campaign.
Read some of what they said in Friday's Vindicator or on Vindy.com.
Mandel has been groomed for consistently higher public office in Ohio by the most rabidly right-wing forces in our nation. As a puppet for the parasitic 1%, Representative and Treasurer Mandel were disasters for Ohio; a warmongering US Senator Mandel would be a catastrophe for We The People.
I am glad I got to see the debate last night. Mandel was clearly the winner. To vote for Brown is clearly a vote for the same old policies that he has previously approved. We need a change in D.C. and Mandel is clearly the man to chose. Lets hope to see a change in Washington and a turn around for the economy in the U.S.
Mandel...just a puppet on a string
I gave Mandel a vote last time just because of his military service. I didnt know anything else about him. That was it seems the dumbest vote I ever cast. I wouldnt vote for Mandel for any position.
With Brown and Obama all we see is more spending, bigger government and more regulations, which requires higher taxes to pay for it all.
Not only has our income been impacted by these policies, we are being faced with new health care rules and regulations, which will impact our employers. Some of our employers have already begun the process of reducing costs in order to pay for these increases and tax proposals. You will see many people being moved to part time employment status, because these moves are already in discussion in businesses across the nation.
If you vote for Brown and you vote for Obama you will see employment drop and many, many employees getting their hours cut to 20 or 30 hours a week. This would be a drastic cut in pay for many of us.
There is only so much money going around. If you increase taxes to businesses, they will have to reduce costs somewhere in order to pay for the increases and payroll is the easiest because consumers will not accept any further price increases.
Think before you vote. Are you really helping yourself or your family, or have you succumb to the rhetoric of a 4 year old failing policy, which requires more borrowed money to keep it going?
VINDYAK is the only poster that makes sense here. A vote for Brown is a vote for Obama. Haven't you guys had enough?
We need jobs, we must get the economy out of the gutter, & most of all, we must begin to reduce the Natl debt.
