Sunday, April 19, 2009 | After the City Council voted to impose Mayor Jerry Sanders' last, best, and final offer on the San Diego Police Officers Association (SDPOA) my phone has been ringing incessantly with questions from officers about this imposed contract.
I, as well as the rest of the SDPOA Board of Directors, have grown weary over the last week of saying to them, "We don't know." Maybe somebody in San Diego can answer the following questions since nobody from the City Attorney's Office, labor relations, or Mayor Sanders' negotiating team ever answered them over the last two months and they are a large reason why there is not an agreement between the POA and the City.
1) If an employee is in the DROP program before the end of the fiscal year, are they allowed to remain in the retiree health care system that has existed for the past two decades or will they be forced into the new retiree medical plan with a capped benefit of $740.00 per month?
2) Officers hired before 1986 were promised lifetime retiree health coverage when they voted to allow the city of San Diego out of the Social Security/Medicare system. Officers voted this way, because they were told it would save taxpayers untold millions of dollars. Will they now be forced to have their health care payments capped for life at $740.00 per month when they retire, even though they do not have Medicare? An HMO purchased through Kaiser already costs a retiree well over $600 per month and the city has done virtually nothing to control the costs of its retiree health care plans.

Share the books you've read with your readers, family, & friends. Never receive a gift of a book you've read again!
DeadTrees is a WordPress plugin that allows you to share the books you've been reading with your readers.
It's slightly influenced by other "My Library" type of plugins, such as the whole Now Reading/Reloaded/Redux group of plugins, but is a complete re-write using WordPress's Custom Post Type features.
I wrote DeadTrees because I wanted to be able to post to my blog when I read a book, but I didn't want to be required to actually write a post about the book if I didn't want to.How it works
To post a book that you read, you'll go to the admin of your site and choose "Books" from the main menu. You can then enter the title of the book, the author's name(s), Amazon's ASIN, (likely the ISBN), and, if you wish, you may write about the book, but you don't have to if you don't want to.
Hit publish and the DeadTrees grab the cover art from Amazon and publish your book.
You can also tag the book, just like a post. The pool of tags is shared between posts & books.
Development is on GitHub at https://github.com/jbeales/DeadTrees

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Interested in picking up Lord of the Rings Online, but getting frustrated with the low-level grind? Kyle Horner over at the official Community site for LotRO has published a Leveling Guide for just such players! Check it out.
The newest update for The Lord of the Rings Online™ brings sweeping improvements to Evendim, a level 30-40 area within the game, which is great! However, for the many players who are still progressing through LOTRO's first 30 levels, reaching Evendim may feel like a daunting task.This guide is here to help: Below you'll find tips for questing, and a breakdown of the various quest hubs scattered throughout Bree-land, the Lone-lands, and North Downs – eventually leading you to the newly revamped Evendim area!
Read the whole thing here.
nice guide, but not rlly focussed on the F2P people i would think , not that i am one of those ofc.
You can get to 30 in LOTRO in just a few days. There's really no need for a guide for it. And the new Evendim content (which I just finished) really does help a lot in getting towards 40.
A guide for 40-65 is MUCH more warranted. Let's see it!
I'm glad any guides are being done for new players. You would be surprised how many gamers really have no idea at all the skills, virtues, and deeds they can be using. I love the new revamped Evendim region. It is 100% better and best of all, no more 'ever-swim'. I also got my new character to kindred status there a lot more easily than before.
I'm sorry, leveling grind? What? There are about three times as many quests available than you need to go from 1 to 30, and you're force-fed directions to them all. There is no grind. This "guide" is completely pointless. Very weird that they'd make something like this.
Why is it pointless? Maybe for people like you who already playing for years and don't bother enjoying the low level content and just powerlevel.
For a new(er) player this is an excellent guide!
If you don't like it, don't read it! And above all, don't bother replying!
great guide. I would say that now that this guide is here, there's one that is very much needed for 40-65 and there is a higher need for legendary items and how they work. It took me thirty searches online and chatting in global chat to find out that i needed to deconstruct a level 31 legendary in order to receive a scroll to switch one of the legacies i had on the legendary i was already using. seriously lacking information on this game.
I just started playing and the guide really isn't needed, Quest hubs are all over and players are pointed to most (if not all) of them.
I didn't play Evendim before the revamp, but it is great after.
The guide is pointless and if you were already at max level it does nothing for you, this also showing were turbine is aiming at nowadays.
And for those who asked why they wrote this guide it is quite simple. In with the new out with the old. Net even trying to keep those at max level in game now.
This guide was for the f2p crowd, to bad it took this many years to write one since that zone been in game for 3.5 years, even though its been reworked.

New players should want to explore, and in doing so they will find all the quests they could possibly want. I don't powerlevel at all. What on earth made you think so?
Great guide. Turbine and Sony and really coming along well.
i was a new player just a few months ago and i never had a problem finding quests or content, if anything the game holds your hand too much when it comes to that aspect. but then again i'm smarter than the average bear (not really)
the struggle to free myself from restraints becomes my very shackles
I agree that guide for doing quests is useless. Valid in game tutorial which LOTRO already has explains all basics and NPCs/quest tracker grab Your hand and guide You. If it's still too hard then maybe start with learning how to click mouse and type with keyboard.
Also revamp is too big word on what Turbine does at least compared with what WoW did in Cataclysm, adjust would be better word. Still same quests, same NPCs just more conviniently placed and some quest went thru soloization/level adjustment(making group quests soloable). Don't get me wrong changes to old content is needed and really helpful for all new players, I just don't get the hype and "300 new quests!" ad-like statemants.

Demolition of Houses by Israeli Occupation Forces in Beit Hanena-Jerusalem
A Palestinian child reacts moments after coming from school and realizing that his family house has been demolished by the municipality in the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina. The municipality says the building was constructed without proper permits and that its structure was not sound. The 33-member family says it was waiting to receive permits.
Bernat Armangue / AP
Video: http://www.youtube.com/
Israeli forces demolished a two-story Palestinian home in East Jerusalem on Tuesday, making 30 people homeless, official news agency Wafa reported.
Four families lived in the Beit Hanina home, which was constructed six years ago. The families had hired a lawyer to prevent the demolition.
Ibrahim al- Kiswani told WAFA that Israeli bulldozers, protected by Israeli police, entered the area at dawn, surrounded the house and gave the family of six members 10 minutes to evacuate the house before demolishing it over its contents.
Kiswani said he had paid more than $160,000 trying to obtain a permit for his 170-square-meter home, which houses him, his wife and his four children, whose ages fall between 8 to 12.
Kiswani's 10-year-old child said, "I am very sad because the Israeli forces destroyed our home where we grew up without giving us a chance to get out our stuff, clothes and computer, which we used for fun and school."
"We are refugees now, we don't have any shelter. Where should we, our children and elderly people go after our house was demolished?" Muhammad Castero, 52, a resident of the building said.
Last week, Israeli forces delivered demolition notices to 200 Palestinian families in Fuheidat neighborhood east of Anata village in northeast Jerusalem, residents said.

Im trying to decide which one to buy, main applications will me music, monitoring, and gaming. Would like for someone that owns both of then to compare their sound quality for gaming, Durability, and Comfort. Would appreciate any advice.
Shure SRH750dj Vs. Denon DNHP700
Gear mentioned in this thread:
I wouldn't go for the HP700 if comfort is important. I'm not usually one to whine about it but those were bad, unless you have baby ears you'll have trouble wearing them more then 45 minutes. And for such bass heavy headphones the bass quality wasn't that hot.
Haven't tried the 750dj, but I tried the 550 and the soundstage was kind of weird on those. Not sure how good it's going to be for gaming.
If you want a Denon sound I think you should check out the Creative Aurvana Live! Personally for bass + soundstage + midrange clarity under $100 I really like the Koss Pro DJ100, and if you don't need something closed and want to save a few bucks the Panasonic HTF-600 is solid too.

First of all, thank you for your feedback, what you said about the HP700 not having the best comfort, I have heard has been true, but i have also heard that you need to stretch the headphones on a box or something to relieve the stress on the headphones. I am more concerned about the difference in comfort between the Shure and the Denon. You say that you have tried the 550, can you tell me more about it's comfort?
I forgot to mention that size is also a factor that I consider, and would like something that isn't HUGE, but at the same time, large and sturdy. For that reason, I don't like the Koss Dj100.
Adding more preferences, i would like a tangle-free cable, coiled or braided, im fine with both. A detachable cord would also be nice, but i will consider it if the other aspects are good. I like the DJ styles for their ability to collapse, and the wide range of movement they offer. My budget is about $100 on Amazon. I am willing to extend my budget to 120 if that is required.
I was using the 750djs pads with them, and I thought were Shures were a lot more comfortable since the pads are deeper and fit around your ears better. I didn't like them for a portable though, they're the exact same size as the DJ100s only the headband is ridiculous. You can pretty much stick your arm through the gap it leaves on the side of your head!
If you can put up with the comfort the HP700s aren't bad at all, they're pretty small and sturdy and fold up well. You could check this thread out too, might be something else decent out there.

The new nominees
Four first-time Oscar competitors show humility in the heat of the campaign.
Thu Feb 10 2011
Matthew Libatique, director of photography, Black Swan
When you were filming Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis having ballerina sex, did you ever think you'd be up for the big prize?
Absolutely not. The work was effortless this time with Darren [Aronofsky, director and longtime collaborator]. I think that makes my nomination a hundred times more gratifying.
Do young cinematographers dream of Oscars?
I used to equate them with the Grammys! [Laughs] Cool bands never won. But as I got into cinematography, I realized that this wasn't the case.
And are you entertaining thoughts of winning?
I've spent the last ten years convincing myself that awards didn't matter. So this thing has hit me like a two-by-four. As time has gone on, I've realized that Oscars aren't the goal.
What is the goal?
The goal is to become a better filmmaker—and to be in the canon of cinematographers, when all is said and done.

Like Balboa discovering the Pacific, we returned from our pioneering discovery of the online newsletter medium expecting to reap the accolades and doubloons accompanying such trailblazing efforts. We were lucky to avoid Balboa's fate. A few years after casting his European eyes on America's West Coast, Balboa was found guilty of treason and was decapitated.
It may well be treasonous to suggest the old way of doing PR is over. And yet that dark continent of e-zines and online newsletters, much of which is zoned commercial, is certain to change the practice of public relations. A lot of people have already discovered its power. For now, however, to find really good publicity programs leveraging this massive medium you probably have to look beyond the agencies and PR departments to the e-commerce entrepreneurs.
Small wonder. For PR professionals, to seek publicity in online newsletters, discussion lists, and e-zines is to enter dangerous and uncharted territory. (There be dragons out there.)
The reward for hacking out a path through the tangled wilderness of online newsletters can be considerable. Today's conquistadors of clips can cart off all the gold, parrots, and spices that pillaging pioneers usually get. In this case, the prize is (relatively) virgin territory for contacts, clicks, and market penetration.
Getting from our cushy cubicles and posh home offices into the slithering morass of online newsletters requires a chart. So packing up our drafting equipment and giant vellum pad, we headed for the offices of our favorite PR agency, the South Park headquarters of Beatus & Buzzhead (B&B), to start mapping the terrain.
Bad Times on South Park
Except for the joyous crowd around the B&B Really New Media (RNM) desk, a general air of gloom pervaded the once-sparkling poster child for PR dot-comdom.
- "What's up?" I asked Heywood Beatus Jr., assistant forking officer.
"Oh," he sighed, "same old, same old, except clients just aren't as generous these days. We've had to" (and here he lowered his voice) "cut out the free cafi macchiatto and start making new-business pitches again."
"But your Really New Media desk seems to be cooking… " He looked over, depressed by the flurry of activity, phones ringing, bright-colored balloons bobbing, and dedicated server cranking out stories.
"Yeah, I guess. They're covering the agency nut and bringing in whatever riffraff business is out there. But, really, how much talent does it take to put the client's URL in an email sig line? You don't see them landing magazine covers… or maybe they do, we had to let our subscriptions lapse… "
And with that, as if inspired, Beatus suddenly sat down at his computer and briskly tapped out "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE." We took our cue and sauntered over to the real action, the RNM desk run by Susan Servem who could type 90 words per minute and had a framed certificate from Kansas's Brown Mackie School of Business on her desk. By taking careful notes, we came up with the three specific tactics used by the hottest RNM group in town.
- Include the client's URL in the signature file of every posting to every online medium.
- Create one 300-word story daily for each client and blast it to every A-list newsletter and e-zine covering the client's area.
- Check to make sure the URL is in the sig line.
Crying for Content
Online newsletter publishers of every stripe have one thing in common: They have to offer something to get surfers with itchy mouse fingers and privacy paranoia to subscribe and stay subscribed. That something is content. And in a business where payment for content ranges from nothing to not much, you can expect a content crisis… and some recycling of material. For example, the September 27, 2000, issue of HotWired's Webmonkey – one of the best tech e-zines around – features a May 1999 tutorial on Personal Hypertext Protocol. It is the rare, very rare, e-zine or newsletter that doesn't ask for submissions, articles, or reader contributions.
Just to nail the point home, content, based on an online survey for an upcoming Publish magazine article, is the biggest concern for newsletter publishers, by a margin of two to one. And content is what PR is all about.
But Does E-Zine PR Work?
Brian G. Clark in Austin, Texas, put together an e-zine of his own, Juxtaposeur. For content, he compiles and summarizes movie reviews written by film critics.
"At the beginning of this year, I went about contacting e-zine publishers. Not with press releases or other marketing hype (sic), just friendly emails to the folks who run e-zines. Through these friendly efforts, Juxtaposeur was featured in Lockergnome (180,000 subs), Internet Tour Bus (90,000), Film Threat (90,000), and several other titles. From those mentions, my site was picked up and mentioned in scores of other e-zines, and – guess what – Entertainment Weekly, Sight and Sound magazine, The Washington Post… "
Aside from online exposure and offline pickup, Clark reports "response from e-zines dwarfs that from a mention in magazines or newspapers."
So what's it going to be, clips or clicks? The best bet to keep that free cafi macchiatto flowing is to build both into your PR campaign.

Seagate NAS Device Worth a Look
The Maxtor Central Axis NAS device from Seagate shows promise, particularly for small businesses. However, there are issues with the storage management and backup software of the Seagate product that need to be negotiated.At first glance, the Maxtor Central Axis NAS (network-attached storage) device seems like a godsend for small businesses. Providing 1 terabyte of plug-and-play storage for $319, the Maxtor Central Axis from Seagate Technology goes a long way towards meeting the storage needs of most small businesses. However, inconsistencies in the provided backup and management software, along with heat concerns, keep the Maxtor Central Axis from being a real storage savior for small businesses.
But that's not to say that the device isn't an attractive option. To get the Maxtor Central Axis up and running on my network. I simply had to plug in an Ethernet cable and turn it on. To find the Central Axis NAS, I could install the Maxtor software, which had automatic discovery capabilities, or simply check my DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) records to find the device on my network and navigate to the browser-based administration interface.

The Florida State Constitution declares that the
powers of state government be divided into three separate and
relatively independent branches -
Each branch is sovereign in its own area of responsibility,
but it is also influenced by the checks and balances from the
other branches. It is basically the same governmental model found
at the national level and in all 50 states. The Office of Program Policy Analysis and Government Accountability provides an organizational chart of Florida's government structure.
The EXECUTIVE branch is the law-administering
and law-enforcing branch of the government. It is patterned along
the lines of a large corporation with the governor serving as
chairman of the board and the three independently elected cabinet
members serving as directors. The governor is elected for a four-year
term and may serve two terms in succession. The lieutenant governor
is elected as running mate of the governor. Members of the Cabinet are elected to four year terms with a two-term limit. All of the many agencies and departments
that are responsible for programs in Florida State government
are also part of the Executive Branch.
The Governor is responsible for day-to-day
operations of the state and is the chief law enforcement officer.
The governor appoints not only the heads of departments under
sole oversight of the governor, but also the heads of departments
that are under both the governor and Cabinet's oversight, although
at least three Cabinet members must agree to the appointments.
The governor also appoints members of several regulatory boards
and commissions.
By executive order, the governor may suspend from
office any state or county elected official who is not subject
to impeachment. The governor cannot suspend the lieutenant governor,
Cabinet members, Supreme Court justices, appellate judges, or circuit
court judges. They can be removed only by legislative impeachment.
The office of
Lieutenant Governor was authorized
in the 1968 revision of the Constitution, but duties of that office
were left to the discretion of the governor and the legislature.
The only Constitutional chore of this office-holder is to become
the governor should that office become vacant due to death, impeachment
trial, or incapacity. The Lieutenant Governor is elected on the
same ticket as governor and is chosen by the gubernatorial candidate
as running mate.
Florida's Constitution states that in addition to
a governor and lieutenant governor "there shall be a
composed of :
The Constitution declares that each Cabinet member
"shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as may
be prescribed by law." In effect, that gives the Cabinet
officers powers equal to the governor. This system violates a
basic rule of government. That is, giving an elected official
the authority to perform a duty and then be officially fully responsible,
for under this system the governor is held responsible but does
not have the authority or means to fulfill that responsibility.
The Senate and House affect every Floridian's life
through legislation relating to how cities and counties operate,
through appointment of state officials, through investigative
and budgetary matters, and through taxes. The legislative branch
is considered to be the most powerful of the state's three branches
of government.
SENATE has 40 members, each elected to
a four year term. Half the senate members are elected every two
years, providing for staggered terms. Senate districts are based
on population with each senator representing approximately the
same number of residents. To do so, some senators may represent
only one county or a portion of a county, while another senator
may represent multiple counties. The senate like the house is
reapportioned every 10 years when the federal census is released.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES has 120 members.
All are elected every two years during the general elections held
in even-numbered years. House districts are based on population
with each member representing approximately the same number of
residents. To do so, some members may represent only one county
or a portion of a county, while another may represent multiple
counties. The House like the Senate is reapportioned every 10
years when the federal census is released.
The JUDICIAL branch is the law-interpreting
branch. Its powers are exercised primarily through courts established
by the State Constitution. Florida's judicial branch consists
of a series of courts with differing levels of authority and jurisdictions.
They are:
Supreme Court
This highest of state courts consists of seven members,
each appointed by the governor, and confirmed by a vote of the
people at the next general election. Each is appointed for a six-year
term. Justices select one of their own to be the chief justice for
a two-year term.
The Supreme Court hears appeals directly from trial
courts in criminal cases when the death penalty has been imposed,
and in civil cases when the trial court's decision passes on the
validity of a state or federal law, a treaty , or a provision
of the state or federal constitution or in cases concerning the
validity of revenue or general obligation bonds. All other appeals
must be processed through a district court of appeals.
District Court of Appeals
The state has five appellate districts. More than
50 judges sit on the five appeals courts, each elected to six-year
staggered terms. They have jurisdiction of all appeals not directly
appealable to the Supreme Court or to a circuit court. An appeals
court also may issue writs of mandamus, certiorari, prohibition,
quo warranto, and habeas corpus.
Circuit Court
The Circuit Court is the state's highest trial court,
and has the most general jurisdiction. The state is divided
into 20 judicial circuits and circuit judges are elected to six-year
terms. In each circuit the judges choose from among themselves
a chief judge of that circuit.
Circuit courts have exclusive original jurisdiction
in all actions of law not vested in county courts, including all
civil actions involving $15,000 or more. Circuit courts also cover:
County Court
At least one county court judge is specified for
each county and is elected to a six-year term. County courts
handle misdemeanor cases over which the circuit court has no
authority, violations of municipal ordinances, and civil actions
involving less than $15,000.

There are many majors that require students to complete an undergraduate Accounting course or two. Accounting is a very exact and precise tracking system for businesses. Taking a course which leaves no room for errors can be quite daunting for many students.
Financial Accounting will include the basic concepts and principles underlying the preparation and use of financial statements: basic accounting theory, transactional analyses, income determination, asset and liability valuation, and the preparation of financial statements.
Managerial Accounting will include topics related to the manager's role in making business decisions: cost classification, behavior, and allocation, cost-volume-profit analysis, operating and capital budgeting, variance analysis, performance evaluation and responsibility accounting.
Cost Accounting will discuss the accumulation and analysis of cost accounting information for the valuation of products and services, internal decision making, and measurement of financial performance.
International Accounting, an upper level course, will provide an understanding of accounting issues arising from the increased globalization of today's business: comparative cross-national financial reporting; efforts to harmonize cross-national accounting standards and practices and to develop international accounting standards; taxation and transfer pricing issues; and managerial control of global operations.
No matter the level of the course, we have tutors with degrees in accounting and many related fields. Most of our tutors that assist students in their accounting courses hold an MBA, Master of Business Administration, or are CPA's, Certified Public Accountants. Our goal is to always provide a tutor that has direct experience within the field of study that the student specifically needs assistance.
Is your high school student college bound? Does every grade count towards a scholarship or a college application? High school students are inundated with grades, sports, work, volunteering, activities, and sometimes a little old fashioned teenage fun. When a high school student shows signs of struggling it is important to get them the help they need as soon as possible. Our high school tutors are available when and where you need them the most…in-home and on your schedule! Whether your high school student simply needs a boost of confidence with study skills, some test preparation and encouragement, or on-going semester long subject help, we have just the high school tutors that can help.
As the 5th largest city in the United States, we are prepared to provide the most professional tutoring services available to Phoenix's residents and students. As the population of Phoenix continues to grow, only 2nd to that of Las Vegas, we will continue to grow with it maintaining a database of highly qualified and experienced tutors to meet the people's needs. We have tutors available for early elementary learners up to and including graduate students attending Arizona State University, Grand Canyon University, Argosy University and the other college campuses sprawling across Maricopa County. Our reputation as a premium service is evident in the hundreds of testimonials we have received from parents, students, and schools across the state of Arizona.
We believe that the most effective tutoring occurs when you have the undivided attention of a highly qualified and experienced tutor by your side. Our exceptional tutors are not only experienced and educated, but are experts in their field and passionate about teaching others. We will always provide you with a tutor specifically qualified and experienced in the subject matter you need. And for your peace of mind, we conduct a nation-wide criminal background check, sexual predator check and social security verification on every single tutor we offer you. Before you invest money and time into tutoring sessions, be sure you have selected the right tutor for you.

Creativity and Reason in Cognitive Development
Edited by James C. Kaufman John Baer
Format: Paperback
Checking availability...
Creativity and Reason in Cognitive Development by James C. Kaufman
Book DescriptionTo what extent do creativity and imagination decline in childhood? What factors might influence a decline? Theories of cognitive development show only uni-directional progress (although theorists may disagree whether such progress occurs steadily in small continuous improvements or comes in stages separated by plateaus during which developmental gains are consolidated). Declines in levels of skill are quite uncommon, yet many have observed just such an unusual pattern with regard to the development of creativity and of the imagination. Is there something about the development of one kind of thinking that undermines imaginative and creative thinking? Is it perhaps the process of schooling itself, with its focus on the acquisition of knowledge and the production of correct (rather than imaginative) answers, which promotes this decline? This book explores these questions from a variety of perspectives. Essays from psychologists and educators from diverse backgrounds discuss the relationships among creativity, reason, and knowledge.

He received his B.A. in Psychology from the University of Southern California and his Ph.D. from Yale University in Cognitive Psychology, where he worked with Robert J. Sternberg. Kaufman's main area of expertise is creativity. With Sternberg and Jean Pretz, he developed the propulsion model of creative contributions, outlined in The Creativity Conundrum (Psychology Press, 2002). He coined 'the Sylvia Plath Effect', based on an analysis of female poets, in a paper in Journal of Creative Behavior, and his recent work on poets dying young has been featured in the New York Times, NPR, BBC, CNN, and newspapers and magazines across the world. His other books include International Handbook of Creativity, Intelligence, Applied Psychology and Free Will, Creativity Across Domains: Faces of the Muse, Gender Differences in Mathematics, and The Evolution of Intelligence. John Baer (Ph.D.) is Professor of Educational Psychology at Rider University. He earned his B.A. at Yale, where he double majored in psychology and Japanese Studies and graduated magna cum laude. He received his Ph.D. from Rutgers in developmental and cognitive psychology. He won the American Psychological Foundation's Berlyne Prize for his research on creativity in 1993, and in 1997 the Eighth National Conference on College Teaching and Learning presented Dr Baer with its annual Award for Innovative Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Technology. He has published seven books, including Creativity and Divergent Thinking: A Task-Specific Approach; Creative Teachers, Creative Students; and Creativity Across Domains: Faces of the Muse (with James C. Kaufman).

New: X-FlightServer.net IFR World Tour 2012
Yesterday I tried to repair the server - admin tool - which is not usable since last year. The result ----> Crash :-)
I am almost ready with the new installation. I think at least you will be able to login again tomorrow.
Once again:
We do not accept multiple logins!! It's really not necessary to fly with more than one identity.
In the future, we will fix this in the servercode. As a quick fix (perhaps today or tomorrow), we will not count a second identity in the logger.
Due to many whishes ... The forum is back.
We have installed a new forum software.
The new beta clients for windows and linux are available there. Mac will follow hopefully soon.
Have fun ...
Next World Tour, I will donate a price. For the best comment.
This tour, the winner would have been Sebu:
- had to overnight in Kuwait due to an angry wife :( -
Made my day ...
... Bernd Sieker!
Glückwunsch Bernd zum Dreamliner!

Monthly Ministry Focus
What is the Monthly Ministry Focus?
Our desire is to help meet the needs of our members, offer hope and encouragement, and explore Christian worldviews and perspectives. Each month, OCF will feature a ministry focus that will be used to shape and guide ministry messaging and communications to that end. The ministry focus is intended to be broad, yet relevant to the military society while also carrying spiritual significance and speaking to the foundational pillars and mission of OCF.
2016 Monthly Ministry Focus topics
Here are the monthly ministry focus topics for 2016. We encourage you to engage with us on Facebook and Twitter with your thoughts, ideas, and comments related to each topic.
Who are you? Who do you want to become? What does God say about you? What is your life's purpose? Often at the beginning of a new year, we ask ourselves, and God, these questions. During this month, let's build our foundation and discover what God has to say about us.
The first half of this month is usually centered on romantic love, but what if we dive a little deeper and focus on connecting with Jesus and other believers? What about the love Jesus has for us and the ultimate sacrifice He paid to show us? The Bible tells us that we are called to be in fellowship (1 John) and to love and pray for those who mistreat us. As we center on scripture and equip ourselves with Truth, we will be able to develop our faith and share it with others.
A quick search in the books category on Amazon reveals more than 180,000 books written on leadership. It's arguably the most written about subject in our time. With so many authors clamoring to regale you with their brilliance, you'd think that anyone aspiring to become a leader would have ample help. Unfortunately, we continue to hear about leadership failures. The world is hungry for real leadership based on solid, proven, biblical principles.
As we enter April with the elation that He is Risen, how do we become more like Christ? What does it mean to be a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians)? How can we grow and build our faith to mature into the person God has created us to be?
Change can be exciting yet difficult. Some absolutely dread it. How one handles it can be truly telling. There are so many examples to draw upon in the Bible—we will have no shortage of things to discuss.
Not just your spouse, children, parents, or siblings but what does it mean to belong to the body of Christ?
No one knows better than those who have served or are serving in the military what freedom really means. As Christians, our ultimate freedom is in Christ alone (Romans 8:1-2, Living Bible version) who rescued us from eternal death. We will explore what Christ meant to be free (1 & 2 Corinthians; Galatians).
Prayer is how we communicate with the one true God, who loves us and desires fellowship with us. This month, focus on Paul's admonition in Romans 12:2 and "be…faithful in prayer."
In times of uncertainty, where do we turn? What do our actions reveal about our heart? We will discuss several issues close to this topic.
October: Service
Initiative, Courage, Self-discipline, and Generosity are a few words that come to mind. How does serving affect those around us?
November: Gratitude
Gratitude cultivates generosity (2 Samuel 9). By this time next year, we hope to be closing out the Growing and Building Campaign. What a great time to praise the Lord and thank everyone for their part in fulfilling God's desire for this part of the OCF ministry!
December: Fellowship
As Mary and Joseph witnessed the entrance of our Savior, fellowship was born. Wise men and shepherds arrived to rejoice and give thanks to God. Like those humble beginnings, true fellowship reveals vulnerability and honesty as only God can orchestrate. Let's invite others into authentic fellowship this month and in the year to come.

The article considers, in a historical setting, the links between varieties of nominalism—the extreme nominalism of the Quine-Goodman variety and the trope nominalism current today—and types of idealism. In so doing arguments of various twentieth century figures, including Husserl, Bradley, Russell, and Sartre, as well as a contemporary attack on relations by Peter Simons are critically examined. The paper seeks to link the rejection of realism about universals with the rejection of a mind-independent "world"—in short, linking nominalism with idealism.

This is best suited for people who don't watch anime much, I've gotten quite a few friends into this who normally stay away from anime. Its really easy to jump in anywhere and enjoy. I would call this afro samurai before afro samurai. The stroy isn't that important (until the end) most episodes are stand alone. Some are wacky, which is important to take all the pressure off of the action, which brings me to my next point.
The best action I have EVER seen in an anime! Smooth, well thought out, fast, and very visually appealing. The music is very important to the flow of the anime and shows where it gets a lot of its influence from.
Personal favorite, please watch (best watched in friends!) 9.5/10

The Library of Babel
David R. Godine, 2000 - Fiction - 36 pages
Not many living artists would be sufficiently brave or inspired to attempt reflecting in art what Borges constructs in words. But the detailed, evocative etchings by Erik Desmazieres provide a perfect counterpoint to the visionary prose. Like Borges, Desmazieres has created his own universe, his own definition of the meaning, topography and geography of the Library of Babel. Printed together, with the etchings reproduced in fine-line duotone, text and art unite to present an artist's book that belongs in the circle of Borges's sacrosanct Crimson Hexagon - "books smaller than natural books, books omnipotent, illustrated, and magical."

The Buchtelite's Adam Ferrise sat down with coach J.D. Brookhart and asked him to give a midseason critique for each part of the team.
Unlike many Zips fans, he admires Luke Getsy's play so far.
Many Zips soccer players -- men and women -- originate from the other side of the pond.
The Buchtelite's Michael Beaven wrote about how they are coping with the United States' lifestyle.
Men's basketball
I have a major announcement.
I formally name Romeo Travis as the University of Akron's first-ever Big Man on Campus.
I explain why in my column...
Romeo Travis is big, friendly and successful. The power forward's fame exceeds that of any athlete in University of Akron history.
Today, I name "Rome" the University of Akron's first-ever Big Man on Campus.
Consider that UA is a loosely knit commuter campus without a huge amount of fan support for the sports teams.
Everywhere Romeo Travis goes on campus, people know him. Ron Burgundy's leather-bound books are nothing compared to the notoriety Travis receives walking around the Student Union. He's kind of a big deal.
Blame his height, at least partially. At 6-foot-7, he is unmistakable.
You might confuse Zips quarterback Luke Getsy with another 6-2 schmoe carrying books to class. Not Travis.
But it takes more than height to achieve the BMOC label. And Travis has got it.
Almost every college basketball magazine picked Travis as its preseason Mid-American Conference player of the year. Those same publications believe Akron will win its first MAC Championship in men's basketball.
The prominence of this team and its leader extends beyond the MAC, however. According to CBSSportsline.com's magazine, the Zips are No. 20 in the nation.
You might assume this kind of attention would give Travis a big head. You would be dead wrong.
Travis always seems to be friendly. If Facebook.com is any indication, he will befriend anyone. He boasts more than 1,300 Facebook friends at UA, and will join basically any group that invites him (See "Travis Hafner once ripped a Bigfoot in half" and "I wish there was more white defensive backs in the NFL.").
Saturday night, Travis considered my proposal of the BMOC label, and he smiled. His humility quickly kicked in.
"I'm just another man on campus," Travis said. "A lot of (the attention) is from before I got to Akron."
True. The initial reason you knew Travis' name was his connection to LeBron James. The Cavaliers' superstar grew up with Travis and Zips teammate Dru Joyce. They won numerous trophies, cups and championships together at St. Vincent/St. Mary's High School.
Problem is, almost anytime a newspaper story mentions Travis and Joyce, the writer also drops James' name. Travis and Joyce have been synonymous with the guys "who were high school teammates of LeBron James." The Zips seniors are truly proud of James, who has ambitions of becoming the world's richest man. But, like any human beings, they want some spotlight, too. That's what this season is about.
"Finally, we're trying to step outside the LeBron's teammates label," Travis said. "We're trying to establish a tradition (at UA). We want a great legacy."
The program's first trip to the Big Dance in March could create that.
Looking forward, though, Travis and Joyce hope to follow in their former teammate's footsteps. Travis hopes to make an NBA roster by specializing in defense and rebounding. His solid mid-range jump shot shouldn't hurt either. Joyce, being one of the nation's leaders in assist-to-turnover ratio, will try to latch on as a point guard.
A key to being drafted is attention. And winning is the best way to get it, coach Keith Dambrot said.
"They realize that if the team wins, things will be good for them," he said.
