Correct curious what hell get for them. I still have my hate for yellow lights. I'm still working on how to disable the drls.
I think these are going to be the only route to take to remove DRL.
(I am not a DRL fan at all)
CTS LED front signals
AW - Amber - White
The Amber -White (AW) Switchback bulb has special circuitry inside that senses when there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit.
Whenever there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit, the bulb switches to amber mode.
The result is that in most vehicles, the switch back bulb will flash amber-white-amber-white, whenever the turn signal is activated and the headlights are on.
In some vehicles, the power to the (white) running light circuit is automatically switched off whenever the turn signal is activated.
In these cases, the AW switchback will flash amber-off-amber off whenever the turn signal is activated.
In most vehicles, the AW switchback will flash amber-off-amber off whenever the turn signal is activated and the headlights/running lights are off..
AO - Amber - Off
The Amber -Off (AO) Switchback bulb has special circuitry inside that senses when there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit.
Whenever there is voltage on the (amber) turn signal circuit, the bulb switches off power to the (white) running light circuit for 2 seconds.
The result is that in most vehicles, the switch back bulb will flash amber-off-amber off whenever the turn signal is activated, even when there is power to the (white) running light circuit.
The bulb will switchback to white if the headlights are switched on and the turn signal circuit is switched off for 2 seconds.
The bulb will switchback to off if the headlights are switched off and the turn signal circuit is switched off for 2 seconds.
Dont think it will work. Our cars use a 2 wire system for the turn signal drl bulbs. When turn is activated it flashes that drl.
…questions for the LPG conversion…isn't that easy for me to tell/write/explain in english (you know, I'm german… ;) ) so...sorry for misspelling...lets try:
Costs…well…gas prices in Germany…or (Western-) Europe are high…very high…
…1 L premium gasoline is something around 1.609 Euro (95 RON) to 1.649 Euro (98 RON) (and 95 RON "E10"-gas is 1.569 Euro at the moment)
...LPG is about 0.689 Euro converted on one liter gasoline here in my home town in Germany.
I'm living near the Dutch border...LPG in the Netherlands is a little cheaper…at 0.569 Euro…sometimes I get it there on the way to work...
Mileage…good question…I got a 12 – 13 L/100 km (whatever this is in mpg) on a rural/city mix…mostly there is an average LPG consumption from 1 - 2 L/100 km more than on gasoline…Autobahn (or your highways) a little better…(and only city drive…ok..hell…;) I think)
("AUTOBAHN"-drive on the german manner is another question…)
Performance is almost the same, I real don't feel anything in "normal" driving…the papers say there is a possible lost of about 14 - 22 KW running on LPG, depending on the engine-type the system is used…(e.g.: LP1: 14, LY7: 17, LH2: 22)
Odor…there is no…or almost no odor…only if you stay outside at the back of the car you can smell the typical LPG "odor" at the exhaust, when the engine is running…
Operation of the LPG system:
…the system arms…:D…ok, the system engages when you start the car…but there is an extra little "main"-switch to turn the system "on" or "off" completely (this switch is also a little "fuel gauge" for the LPG tank)…generally the switch is "on"…so there is nothing to do…you can always switch between gasoline or LPG…manually with the switch…no problem…
...system switches and starts to run automatically on gasoline when the LPG tank is empty… (but near empty you get an endless annoying "beep beep"…so you are automatically pushed to switch manual in the first…;)
…the car always starts and has to start on gasoline (regardless if the system is powered-on or not)…so when you start the car in the morning/cold…and the system is "on", the car runs the first 2-3 min or 1-2 miles on gasoline…when the cooling system/water has reached a specified temperature the armed LPG system automatically switches from running on gasoline to LPG…(sometimes you feel a little "bump")
…the complete LPG system is operated and controlled by its own ECU/computer system...in conjunction with the cars own system… (don't ask for details…;) :D )…the programming is made from the LPG system manufacturer…
...hmm...this CTS-DRL-mod is interesting...
I have to buy a Helms manual more once again...:D
__________________________________________________ ____________________________________
…and if I sell or change the car, I can change back and hold the SLS tails…
…btw…on Ebay (Germany) there is a used pair Euro tails for 400 Euro (about 517 US-$) each lamp atm…(but that's a little to much), a new set from a Cadillac dealer here in Europe will be much more and more expensive, too…
I know the prices in the US...and incl. shipping/tax/VAT/customs duty I will pay the same or little less for a new set like the ebay used above…
…I wish I also could get one of the GM accessory 3rd brake lights…:D ;)
(so…if anybody knows…;) )
…almost all export STS got DRL delete "T62 - LIGHTING DAYTIME RUNNING DELETE"
(…only Norway has a special version of DRL, which is completely different from the US/Canada-based system…the Norway-system incl. head or parking- and taillamps on start, iirc)
…I don't know how they managed it to delete the DRL on the export cars…but 3157/3757NA bulb and lamp housing are the same on export STS…also same part-# …and IIRC the harness/connectors are the same...
Done with tech 2 feature programming.
@1BadCadSTS - perhaps we need to bug ddalder to see if he can disable them? Or does one need to get an unflashed (BCM?? IPM??) and just choose to not set the DRL to ON?
@PontiacV8 - thanks for the detailed information.
This is just really new to me as I haven't heard of any Cadillac running on Propane.
Was this something you did to the car or did you buy it used and this was already done?
The CTS DRL mod would be interesting, I would expect that it could be done on the Domestic STS model too, not sure on the export model that doesn't have DRLs though.

I bought it on December 9th, 2011 at my Cadillac dealership...and sold my 1997 Seville STS) ...so the car was only 3 years "old" at the point I got it...:)
...now/today the car has about 53,300 km (approx. 33,130 mls) on the clock...
...as I told before, Cadillac Europe regularly offered these "Ready-to-install/Made-for-(some) Cadillac's"-LPG-kits for some years...incl. full warranty...as an "upgrade"...
...and IIRC, in the beginning, for a short time, as a sales discount...
...the first owner bought the car...and also the LPG-kit...the dealer has done the work/conversion a little later...
...btw...there are also other LPG-conversions in the market...but this system was the one which was regular/supplied for and from Cadillac Europe here...
...thanks for the chart... :)
...btw...here an image with some trunk parts removed (while installing the Cadillac SLS tail lights)
...so you can see the LPG tank in the spare wheel area...
...another (enlarged "testing"-) video will follow... :)

...and here the video...:

nice lights, Heiner ;)
Looks good. Thanks for that info.
I looked into our propane fueling here in the states... Hardly any stations here can fill them. I found about 3 stations within 100 miles from here. Which I think would be about 165km or so. So it would not be very practical here even if it would be possible to get the same setup done here.
The power fold would have been a nice option here.
Any plans on getting the locking fuel door?
...the locking fuel door...yes, I like it...but...no...I don't think so...it is to complex...(only) the fuel door shouldn't be a problem...but all the other parts...solenoid, pintle, fitting...the wiring/harness...the control/activation...how to do and other questions...all the parts have to come from China...also plans and so on...and an "aftermarket" solution...or parts from other cars....problematic...:)
I have to live with my lockable export fuel cap with key...:( ;)
After seeing pics of the SLS it makes me wonder why Cadillac North America "cheaped out".

Ha, you call that a play? Lawrence Frank sticking with this lineup expecting anything different -
well, its nice to finally see the coach on board with tank mode. No more of this tryin to win crap...he isnt even trying to make it look like a effort. Hope the league doesnt see all the minutes Bynum got in this one.
You mean the Bynum that was 7 for 12, 15 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, 1 blocked shot, and plus 13 in 26 minutes?
at the expense of Brandon Knight? yes and this plus minus crap is just that....crap. It doesnt tell what that individual does or account for anyone else on the floor. total crap stat.Bynum and Bengo are both wasted space and I couldnt care less about the numbers they put up. Gordon is a 1 trick pony with a broken trick, and Bynum is a undersized bad shot selection 2 guard that doesnt defend as well as he used to and seems to pick and choose when he'll try. This is the same guy that I used to love when he got his first try and went ballz to the wall every second he weas out there on both offense and defense. Now, he seems to have relaxed and I wish we could just give the minutes to daye and get some time for mack. I wondered why GM was pulled in favor of Ben last night and tonight BK was pulled for rarely used Bynum. Is it " bring your seniors to work week"? I thought the point of a youth movement was to play the young players?
Whether you like him or not, Bynum had a good game tonight. More often than not, Coach Frank holds guys accountable and rewards players that are doing well.
Did anybody watch this one on league pass? For some reason, I couldn't locate it and came to the conclusion that they just cut Det out of the LP rotation. Looks like I saved a few hours of my life.
Bynum typically has statistically 'pretty' games. Doesn't mean he didn't try to make the game the Will Bynum show going 1 on 4 against a set defense. Doesn't mean Jeff Teague didn't leave him standing still like the human traffic cone he was all night on the way to the rim. For a defense-first coach, that needed to be priority 1a and 1b for Frank, but it apparently was less important than riding the so-called hot hand - only Brandon was 5 for 8 with 2 3s today. Greg was hot last night too. I've very rarely disagreed with this coach this year, but the last two games' rotations have been questionable at best. Both Monroe and Knight have gotten hooked pretty damn quick after defensive lapses, hell, even Stuckey has on occasion, but Bynum and Gordon are apparently exempt.
Per 36 Stat: BK/ WB Pts: 13.7/ 13.6 Reb: 3.5/ 3.8 Ast: 4.0/ 4.0 Yikes. Very similar. The big difference is that WB's efficiency is in the toilet with his low shooting this year.
For those with League Pass outside Michigan, the game was blacked out on the Piston Fox Sports station and was broadcast on NBA TV. This was the only nationally televised game for the Pistons this season, (ESPN cancelled the one scheduled vs the Bucks next week). We had to sit though the Hawks announcers some guy and Dominique. They weren't as bad as some other homers.
The game was on NBA TV for me. I guess this was their one game in the "limelight".
As far as the game was concerned, the Pistons had two big runs...a 14-4 one in the middle of the second qtr, only to see the Hawks come back close the 2nd qtr on 20-5 run as Jeff Teague was able to slice up the middle continually for either a score or he got the ball in the rim area where one the Hawks bigs was there to grab a rebound and put back. The Pistons put together 17-3 run between the end of the 3rd and midway thru the 4th to go up 83-80....and then they died tanked. Nobody went to the hoop but Bynum and there was one slam dunk by Tay, but other than that they took jumpers and let Teague loose again. I guess the coach left Knight out because he was being beaten by Teague in the first half. Monroe was held to 8 and 8....its a shame that Tay and Stuckey would probably beat Monroe in an all Piston dunk contest...
The Atlanta announcers were raving about how horrible the Pistons internal D was the whole game. In the second half they went from complaining to laughing at the defensive play by the Piston bigs. I think it was a good move by Frank to stick with the bench guards and give Wallace some run since starting guards couldn't stop Teague at all. As Bill wrote, he holds the players accountable for their game and I believe that helps the young guns more in the long run than a couple of extra minutes in a game where they are getting destroyed. Also, we managed to pull off the L anyway so all good.
Its hard for me to criticize the team when they are giving maximum effort like this game. Watching them it's simply a lack of talent as to why they are not winning games like this.
There definately is a chemistry element to it as well. Its really hard for a 'young team' to put it all together against veterans like the Hawks. Having players like Ben Gordon certainly doesn't help. On a side note, Bynum's stats certainly look great but I don't like him on the court as much as Knight.
If Monroe were half as active on D as he is on offense, the Pistons would probably be a lot better. He never stands around when the Pistons have the ball and is beastly going after the ball on the offensive glass. He is the total opposite on D.
Generally, if I had to split PG minutes up between the two guys, I would say 48 minutes to Knight and 0 minutes to Bynum. Last night, however, Bynum was doing less worse a job of stopping Teague than Knight.
This is the first game I have missed all season because I stupidly thought it was on Sat not Fri. I realized my mistake late, and tuned in in the middle of the fourth quarter, way too much will bynum for me, I can just barely hack him, couldn't figure out why he was staying out there so long, and where was George and Greg, and hey, we just might win, then no we didn't. I was waiting for Dominique to say something about his nephew, did he mention anything early?
In the second quarter he mentioned after Damien had sat down that he had helped the Pistons with that run the allowed them to take the brief lead. I didn't hear him say much else about him afterwards as I was watching later on DVR tape, talking on the phone with sound down.

Hi there fellow Fett-heads! Got a question for ya.
Has anyone ever used MMD's Green Putty as a filler for scratches, holes etc on a helmet? What kind of results did you get? Any advice or precautions on using it? I'm working on a slush-cast resin helmet, if that matters. Progress pix to follow later this week.
Thanks everyone.

BIS won't work
- Hey there.
So... I'll try to explain everything and hope anyone here will be able to help me out.
Here's whats happening:
I got my torch 9860 about a month ago.
First thing I did when I received it was an OS update, once it was all set I got a 15 days BIS data plan (just to try it out, see if there wasn't anything wrong, etc). After a few mins I got a message saying it should be working within the next 4 hours. Did a battery pull and it was already working, the BB maps app icon appeared and I was able to set up my e-mail account, use bbm, bb protect, etc. So far so good, it workeked perfectly for the 15 days.
Now the weird stuff starts.
So after it expired, I waited about a week or so to try to renew it since I wasn't really using it.
2 days ago I did the same procedure, but instead of the 15 days BIS data plan, I got the 30 days one.
After a few mins I got the message, but the e-mail settings wasn't working at all, it kept giving me errors while updating and stuff. I waited until next morning, tryed to register in the wireless network but got no response. Did a battery pull but it still wouldn't work.
So I decided to call "Claro" and ask for support, some woman answered and said it wasn't working like it should, that she would make some adjustments and I should do a battery pull in about 30 mins.
30 mins later, did a battery pull and it seemed like nothing changed, except now when I tryed to register in the wireless network I got the message saying my handheld has been registered in the wireles network and stuff. But still, nothing would work. The e-mail still failed at updating or whatever.
Since now it would register in the wireless network I thought maybe I was doing something horribly wrong.(even though it seemed easy to get going in the first time)
So I reinstalled the whole OS, like I did when I first got the phone. Turned it on, registered it in the wireless network, got the OK message and did a battery pull. Still nothing...
That even wiped out my old e-mail settings, so now I get the BES login page instead of the update error when I try to set up an e-mail(just like when I first got the phone and had no active BIS).
The maps app icon is gone, the bbm won't connect, the blackberry protect gives me an error saying my service plan does not support this app. (so obviously the BIS is not working at all)
when I go to http://claro.blackberry.com and try to login, the website asks for my pin and IMEI(again). But when I type in my IMEI and PIN it gives me an error saying "the provided information could not be verified".
By the way, I already had the website thing all set up, it began to ask for my PIN and IMEI once I reinstalled the OS, not sure if it is directly related or the guys at Claro did something during the many times I called them.
Also, during my 15 days of working BIS, I accidentally deleted the Social Feeds app, along with other mistaked I just decided to reinstall the OS once again, but I had no trouble setting the BIS back up.
So yeah. Its a huge text and probably badly written, sorry for that.
So, just to resume it a little.
>BIS won't work
>Carrier says service is fine and should be working
>Able to register in the wireless network, get OK message but the service status says BIS is not connected.
>Tryed hundred of Battery Pulls under many circumstances
>Completely reinstalled OS
>The coverage thing says EDGE. (It used to be H+ with the little bb icon on the side)
>E-Mail setup won't work
>Internet won't work
>BBM won't work
>Nothing works
>Phone still works
I read alot of threads regarding all kind of BIS issues and tryed all kinds of useless stuff, so I'm probably forgetting to list something.
I truly believe the dudes at Claro don't know what they're doing, but I decided to try to solve it by myself before calling them again. Any help would be appreciated.01-31-13 09:44 AM
- That didn't happen at all. The best stuff used to show up when I had no data plan. Once my 15 days data plan kicked in the email setup went from BES to the BIS setup.
I called the blackberry support and they said it's got to be something wrong with the carrier.
I'm on the phone with them right now, gonna get them to solve this thing.01-31-13 10:50 AM
- I too, have tried everything, from umpteen battery pulls, SIM pulls. I even tried buying a new phone (now that was a stupid waste of money). My last-ditch attempt to get my BB working this morning at the Digicel store with a new SIM failed miserably. I know how you feel. And, I am sorry to say, after having researched this issue online a lot over the past few weeks, I think there is something that Claro and Digicel have to do at their end, but they don't have the technical know-how to understand what the root of this problem is.
I am sending my new BB back for a refund, as it doesn't seem as if this problem is solvable, at least not in Latin America... If you do get a fix for yours, please could you post back here?
Thanks.01-31-13 01:00 PM
- Yeah, apparently their stupidity is overwhelming. They do not understand how the blackberry works, therefore are having issues not only on fixing it but on acknowledging that there is something wrong at all. They keep claiming that their system is working fine and it's got to be something with my phone. They asked me to take my phone to one of their stores to "set up the internet".
They just don't get it that the data plan is not active at all. My service status says its not connected to BIS, but that doesn't seem to be good enough. And I'm not taking my phone all across rio de janeiro so they can take a look at it and say "oh you were right there is nothing to be done here, we're terribly sorry that we made you waste your day coming all the way here".
I'll just keep calling them and requesting for innumerous attemps of whatever they can do to fix it.
I'll post a solution once I get it running, I'm not giving up on my phone because these people are to lazy to do their job.01-31-13 04:52 PM
- Hi there. After weeks of frustration, I finally found out the real cause of my registration BIS problem. After endless Internet chats with Digicel, store visits etc, I tried setting up mail from my BB by visiting www.Blackberry.com/MailIntegration from my phone where I received the message 'Your carrier is not supported at this time'. I checked on the Digicel Panama website and, sure enough, the most up to date BB they sell is the Torch 9800. So, my approximately two and a half year old piece of tech (9860) was simply too new for Digicel!
I verified this by inserting my SIM into my old BB bold 9700, where the registration with BIS occurred without a hitch.
So, I bought a new SIM with a Blackberry data plan from a different carrier here -Movistar - after checking that they actually sold the 9860 in Panama (meaning they would provide coverage).
And - at long last - it set up on the new carrier without a hitch!
So you might have to do this as well....
Good Luck02-04-13 12:57 PM
- Yeah, I tryed to get them to do this, but they say they cannot cancel the data plan(???) so I will have to wait until the end of the month for the plan to expire...
I'll just go for a full refund and switch carriers.
Anyways, the issue is not device based, so I suppose the mods can close this thread.02-07-13 11:45 PM

I was just visiting the Tech-Sight website. They have several models available for the Mini-14. They do look like an improvement, especially for my old 1990s Mini (not a Ranch Rifle). They appear to be easier to adjust. I would think that they would add accuracy to my 2 rifles (one older style, one newer). The prices are not totally out of range. Does anybody here have any experience with these replacement after-market sights? Would they help my poor old tired eyes?

This website is a must for those trying to discover the fate of Jewish ancestors who perished during World War 2. There is the Shoah Victims Database, an online photo archive, educational material and much more.
I understand that the website was used in the making of the Stephen Fry WDYTYA episode. Not an easy area of research for genealogists, but one that may help family answer questions that have remained unanswered for several generations.

I just threw this recipe together and i thought it was pretty amazing.
I used:
3 teal (hole)
2 cups sweet chili sauce
2 cups peach juice from canned peaches
1 gallon milk
1 box turkey stuffing
rinse duck well to remove blood.
Soak ducks in 1 gallon of milk for 4 hours.
preheat oven to 300F.
Place ducks on a rack with large drip pan.
Mix chili sauce and peach juice well and brush on generously. cook for 4 hours (brushing chili sauce every 15-20 minutes)
After 4 hours is up pour the remaining chili sauce over ducks turn oven to 400 for 10 minutes.
When they come out of the oven they will have between 1/16 - 1/8 inch of sticky crust. they will be very juicy and flavorful.
*note* stuffing is optional.

text: Commonwealth Virtual Schools On January 3, Gov. Deval Patrick signed legislation authorizing the establishment of up to 10 Commonwealth Virtual Schools. The bill directs the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to draft regulations by October 1. Proposals will likely be due on that date. Key provisions of the bill include: Teachers in virtual schools must be licensed in Massachusetts. Proposals may be submitted by school districts, education collaboratives, colleges and universities, nonprofits, teachers or parents. For-profit businesses or private and parochial schools may not apply. Total number of virtual schools operating at one time is capped at 10. Total number of students attending is capped at 2% of the state's public school population, or approximately 19,000 students. At least 5% of students enrolled must be from establishing school district. Tuition paid by sending districts will use the school choice formula of $5,000 per student. Up to three certificates will be awarded between 2013 to 2016. (The Massachusetts Virtual Academy in Greenfield [MAVA] may no longer operate as an innovation school and must apply to continue operations under the new virtual school provisions.) The plan calls for up to three more certificates to be issued between 2016 to 2019 and up to four from 2019 to 2020. Joint Committee on Education Summary of the Bill Establishes Commonwealth Virtual Schools, which are public schools that operate under a certificate of organization issued by the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education and are governed by a board of trustees. School districts, education collaboratives, institutions of higher education, non-profits, teachers or parents may apply to open a Commonwealth Virtual School. For-profit entities and private and parochial schools are prohibited from applying for a school. Requires the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to issue a request for proposals to establish a Commonwealth Virtual School, and enumerates what must be included in the RFP. The Board makes the final determination on selecting proposals, and may award a certificate to operate a school for between 3 and 5 years. Caps Establishes a cap of 10 Commonwealth Virtual Schools that may operate at any one time, which shall be phased in over the course of several years. For the first 7 years, only school districts and collaboratives may apply to open a Commonwealth Virtual School (through the 2018-2019 school year). However, virtual schools established by a single school district or by multiple school districts, through an inter-district agreement or an education collaborative, shall not be counted towards the cap if the virtual school only enrolls students who reside in the district(s) that established the school. Also caps the total number of students attending Commonwealth Virtual Schools at 2% of the state's public school population, or approximately 19,000 students. Requires the Board to give a preference to proposals that focus on certain students, including students who have dropped out, students with special medical needs requiring a home or hospital setting, or gifted and talented students. Requires students in Commonwealth Virtual Schools to meet the same performance standards and testing requirements as students in other public schools. Teachers in Commonwealth Virtual Schools must be licensed to teach in Massachusetts. Tuition and Funding Caps the per pupil tuition paid for by a school district to send a student to a virtual school at $5,000, the school choice rate. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education may, in consultation with the Operational Services Division, approve alternate tuition amounts proposed by applicants. The Department is authorized to retain up to $75 per student enrolled in a Commonwealth Virtual School for the administration of the virtual school program. Requires Commonwealth Virtual Schools to annually report information about their net assets, and authorizes the Board to set limits for the amount of excess funds a school may retain before having to return it to sending districts. Requires Commonwealth Virtual Schools to conduct independent audits of their accounts. Reporting Requirements Each school must submit an annual report with information about courses, students, and other activities. The Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education must report annually on the implementation and fiscal impact of the virtual school program. Requires the Commissioner to provide information to school districts about online courses that are aligned with state academic standards. If a single school district plans to operate a virtual school that enrolls only its own students, it is not subject to these requirements, provided that such district must submit a summary description of the proposed school to the Commissioner for review and comment. Authorizes the Board to promulgate rules and regulations. Digital Learning Advisory Council Establishes a 15 member digital learning advisory council to advise the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education on all matters related to virtual education. This council will provide an additional level of oversight on the state of virtual education in Massachusetts. Massachusetts Virtual Academy (MAVA) at Greenfield The Achievement Gap Act of 2010 established Innovation Schools, which are districts schools with increased autonomy and flexibility. A provision in the Innovation Schools statute allows an Innovation School to be established as a public virtual school. There is currently one Virtual Innovation School in Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Virtual Academy in Greenfield. This bill strikes the language in the Innovation School statute which allows for a Virtual Innovation School, and requires the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to grant Greenfield a certificate of operation to continue operating MAVA, provided Greenfield submits the information required to apply for a commonwealth virtual school.

I am pretty much on my own out here in western ND. I suspect I am the only hobby beekeeper for at least 4 hours in any direction!
... but they are all commercial beekeepers. My past experiences with them have indicated to me that they are not very interested in hobby beekeeper concerns (they generally aren't interested in selling 1 hive, for example). I can't say that I blame them, they are running a business and trying to make a living, my guess is that it isn't worth their time.

A new game is in its beta phase II and it's awesome!
The game is kinda ''arena'' PvP game.
About the Game:
*Bloodline Champions is a PVP game with short, intense matches for up to ten players divided into two teams. Every player plays one of several different bloodlines with 7 unique abilities each.
Different bloodlines in a set up complement eachother, different maps and gamemodes need different tactics, so good teamwork is a must for success.
Chance is not a factor, spells and abilities do a set amount of damage. Random elements such as critical hits and passive abilities do not exist.
Spells travel to where the player aims and can be avoided by enemy players, making every ability dependant on individual player skill.
Without mana and creeps, the game has almost zero downtime and is instead based on short cooldowns, this coupled with no grind or farming ensures that every match is full of action.*
I'd like this game added on this site if possible. Here's the link for the game tho: http://www.bloodlinechampions.com/home.php
If you want a beta key, go sign-up! And ''fan'' them on facebook!!! When they reach 5000 fans, they'll give out beta keys again! http://www.facebook.com/BloodlineChampions
Thank you for your time

Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington, a successful athlete on both the collegiate and international levels, has translated that athletic excellence into a high degree of proficiency in the coaching ranks. Parrington has received countless honors within every conceivable realm of the diving community and begins his 21st season coaching Vol divers.
Parrington arrived on Rocky Top in 1990 and got right down to business. In the first decade of his tenure at Tennessee, he coached Vol divers to 17 Southeastern Conference championships. His wealth of experience and teaching ability was displayed in the successes of his athletes.
The Harare, Zimbabwe, native owns an impressive resume. The SEC has named Parrington Men's Diving Coach of the Year (1994, '96, '98, '99, 2000, '01) and twice the SEC Women's Coach of the Year (1997, 2003). Since arriving on The Hill, Parrington has produced 73 men's and women's All-America selections, six NCAA champions and 29 SEC champions. His divers have combined to break school records 83 times, and he has coached eight USA Diving national champions.
At the 2011 SEC Championships, Michael Wright became the fifth Vol to win the 1-meter diving event during the Parrington era.
Tennessee divers during the Parrington era have competed at the Olympics, World Championships, World University Games, World Diving Cup, Pan American Games, the Commonwealth Games and the African Games a combined 25 times. In addition to international success, Parrington's divers have earned SEC diver of the year honors 10 times and five times he coached the SEC's freshman diver of the year-- including current UT diver Ryan Helms. During the 1999 and 2000 SEC championships meets, Parrington coached Gabi Chereches to an SEC Commissioners Trophy, awarded to the swimmer or diver with the highest point total at the meet.
Parrington coached Zimbabwe's Olympic team in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics as well as the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Other Olympic service includes two stints (1998, 2008) as a judge at the U.S. Olympic diving trials and a selector for the USA Olympic team selection camp hosted at the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center. He also served the United States' diving team as a coach for the 1997 World Cup qualifying and championships rounds and was rewarded with the USA Diving Coaches Award of Excellence.
Before he arrived in Knoxville, Parrington spent seven years as the head diving coach at his alma mater the University of Houston.
As a student-athlete, Parrington competed in the 1980 Moscow Olympicsrepresenting Zimbabwe in both he three-meter and platform events. Parrington also played for Zimbabwe's national diving and water polo teams.
In August 2008, former UT head football coach Phillip Fulmer endowed $250,000 for the Dave Parrington Tennessee Diving Scholarship. The gift was a token of gratitude for Parrington's many years coaching Fulmer's daughter and former Lady Vol diver Brittany.
In the summer of 2009, Parrington married UT swimming and diving massage therapist Marie Wilson. She has been a part of the program for nine years and is a Knoxville, Tenn., native. She has three children Jeff, Brent and Derek and five grandchildren Emily, Zachary, Camille, Blake and Maggie.

I was pleased with how this product looked and felt. It was comfortable to wear, but the skirt fit a little tight and i am a pretty small person. I only wear a size 4/5 in Jeans. This product needs size options.

This is a great bellydance outfit. I really like that the skirt goes full circle and is stitched up the back. I do wish it came in more sizes, though, because the fit is rather small on me.

Okay, I'll bite the bait. It's now my turn to show off what I've done to convert a Hasbro Clone Trooper helmet. Click here to see the full blog.
But, the whet your pallets, here's what I wound up with...
I intended for this to be a copy of the Obi-Wan Kenobi helmet from the Clone Wars figure. Sadly, the actual helmet wasn't used in the movie, so I may change it eventually to copy either Commander Cody (yellow) or Commander Fox (red). But, for now, my son is very happy with my results.
By no means was I going for screen-accurate, and I don't intend on doing much more to it other than the color. If I do eventually decide to go for a more accurate version, I'll go with SPC or SGB.
So...tell me what you think!

Led Lcd Tv Review
Review Of Technology Samsung Televison 3D TV LED UN55C8000
Samsung is a company that has created many kind of television type. sharpness and Voice clarity of the image makes television from Samsung is very trustworthy people. The UN55C8000 Samsung 3D TV is a 55 inch screen 3D ready, which is part of Samsung, Äôs 8000 Series LED-based LCD HDTV. While the 8000 series have fewer bells and whistles on some ships from the series 9000 (Including the lack of a revolutionary touch-screen remote control) this TV has very good 3D feature set with ultra-slim profile to look beautiful and great picture quality.
This LCD television uses conventional technology in conjunction with Samsung, Äôs edge LED backlighting lights up the new system. LED backlighting allows manufacturers to push the limits flatscreen thickness as evidenced by this 3D TV. Samsung UN55C8000 screen is 55 inches in size. V is sure to turn heads in your living room looks beautiful with ultra-thin and metal LED backlit panel.
The lack of etel halo effect ofvision is halo effect that has been reported by several buyers when viewing 3D content. This of course can be teething problems with new technology and there is a good chance that Samsung will fix this complain before sending their latest models into production technology TV.Tepi lit backlighting may cause a little uneven across the entire screen. This is a small sacrifice, you have to make when going to the panel with a slim profile as the UN55C8000. However, this should not be a problem unless you prefer to view movies in the dark. After the TV was launched, should become clearer whether this is really going to be a problem.
Samsung has used a technology-based Active Shutter 3D. Refresh rate of 120Hz per eye would allow for immersive and smooth 3D viewing experience. In addition, the screen will allow enjoyment of HD 1080p content on UN55C8000 Samsung.The Television 3D UN55C8000 Samsung has a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

For a complete listing of academic advising staff, click here.
Academic Advising Philosophy
Northern Michigan University is committed to the academic and professional development of its students. While a student's academic program is ultimately his or her own responsibility, the university, through the academic advising process, provides the student with information about career options, educational programs, courses, resources, policies and procedures.
The academic advising process is a shared responsibility that involves administration, faculty, staff and student peers. However, a key element is the student-adviser relationship. In this relationship, a faculty or staff adviser and student work together to select, plan and accomplish the student's academic and professional goals. This relationship also provides students with an opportunity to affiliate with professionals in their chosen disciplines.
Orientation and Initial Course Registration
New student orientation programs are provided before each semester. All newly admitted freshman students, undergraduate transfer students and fall/winter semester guest students who will be enrolling for classes are required to participate in an orientation session. At the orientation session, students receive academic advising and information regarding university policies and requirements, learn about the campus community and complete their course registration. Questions regarding orientation should be directed to the new student orientation program or the Academic and Career Advisement Center, 906-227-1707 or 800-682-9797.
Adviser Assignment
After selecting a major, students are assigned to an adviser in the department that offers their major. Students should maintain close contact with their advisers and keep their own personal file of their academic progress. Students are ultimately responsible for meeting the academic requirements for their desired degree.
Students who are undecided about a choice of curriculum and who are not ready to declare a major are assigned advisers from the Academic and Career Advisement Center. These students should work closely with their advisers to build course schedules satisfying general graduation requirements and also providing some exposure to new fields of interest. Undeclared students should work with academic advisers in the Academic and Career Advisement Center to discuss potential majors. They may also take advantage of career planning activities coordinated by the center.
Students who plan to enter pre-professional and other interdisciplinary programs are assigned advisers from the appropriate academic departments.
There are many resources available on the NMU campus to assist students in obtaining an excellent education. Students should become familiar with the staff, faculty and other resources available to them and seek these resources out in a timely manner.
Any undergraduate student who would like to discuss an academic and/or career advising issue at NMU may schedule an appointment with an academic adviser in the Academic and Career Advisement Center.

What to Get Your Psychiatrist for the Holidays
This is an update of a Shrink Rap post that originally was posted in 2006. Seems like a good time for a re-run.
Sarebear mentioned some time ago that she didn't know what to get her psychiatrist for the holidays. I thought about this and decided the answer is easy:
Give your psychiatrist a holiday card and write something meaningful and kind in it. Say, "Thanks for helping me." Or "I'm glad you're in my life." "You're the best psychiatrist in the world" works nicely, too. If you hate your psychiatrist and for inexplicable reasons feel compelled to get them something anyway, then skip the note and just give a generic Seasons Greetings card.
Don't get your psychiatrist an expensive gift. And don't, not even as a joke, give your psychiatrist money-- unless you're paying an overdue bill-- and don't make comments about a holiday "tip."
So gifts and shrinks are often an unsettling combination. As psychiatrists, we're taught that treatment is offered for a fee. End of discussion and anything more represents a violation of boundaries. Psychiatrists-in-training are told not to accept gifts, and psychotherapists as a whole are taught to try to understand behaviors that skim the usual boundaries. So, theoretically, the psychiatrist should refuse the gift and explore with the patient what meaning the gift, the refusal, the whole exchange, has to the patient.
When residents ask me what to do when patients want to give them gifts, I say "Tell them the program has rules that say you're not allowed to accept gifts." This is the truth and the resident risks getting in trouble if they do accept gifts. If you can't take a pen from a drug rep anymore, why should you be allowed to take a timeshare from a patient? Okay, I made that up, I've never heard of a patient gifting a resident with a timeshare, but we can all have fantasies, right?
I'm in private practice, there's no program director, I make the rules. When a patient gives me a gift, I accept it and say, "Thank you." Why? Because it seems intentionally hurtful to do otherwise-- I assume it has meaning to the patient, that their feelings will be hurt if I refuse the gift, that the patient has taken the time, effort, and money to pick out a gift and this represents something meaningful to him and that it might be painful to have this refused. While the act of giving a gift might have a multitude of meanings, depending on the gift, depending on the patient's illness, depending on the circumstances, I just can't find a way to say No that would feel anything other than rejecting. So I accept the gift and thank the patient, and if the gift is edible, I eat it. This is the thing though: while I've decided that this is the way to go, at least so far for me within the realm of my own practice, I always feel like I'm doing something wrong by accepting a gift. Training issues remain in the back of my head, and I'd really rather just have a card that says I'm the best psychiatrist in the world.
Disclaimer in honor of other non-shrink physicians: Doctors in other specialties have no such concerns with accepting gifts. They probably don't want anything that taxes your budget. Food is usually good, a bottle of wine, a plant, candles, all will do nicely, and no doctor expects gifts from their patients.

Manchester turning back the clock for middle, elementary students
MANCHESTER — The end of the school day will come 15 to 20 minutes earlier for elementary and middle school students next fall.
The changes to the start and stop times for the 2014-2015 school year are the result of an agreement between the school district and the teachers union, the Manchester Education Association.
For the most part, the new schedule reverts to the school hours in the 2012-2013 school year, before the district switched from a day-based to an hour-based calendar to meet state standards.
The final bell for elementary school students will be 2:35 p.m., 15 minutes earlier than last year. The end of the day for teachers will be 2:50 p.m. In the middle schools, students will get out at 2:00 p.m., 20 minutes earlier than last year. The end of the day for teachers will be 2:25 p.m.
In both the elementary and middle schools, teachers' days will end 15 to 25 minutes later than the students. This past school year, principals strongly criticized the hours-based calender because it left little time in the teachers' days to supervise students as they boarded buses and left school grounds.
At a school board meeting Monday, Assistant Superintendent Karen Burkush said she believed that the principals were "in agreement" with the plan.
The start and stop times for the high schools will remain the same for teachers and students, 7:45 a.m. to 2:42 p.m. (Teachers begin the day seven minutes earlier.)
The start time for middle school students will be 7:35 a.m., five minutes earlier than last year. The start time for elementary students will stay the same, 8:20 a.m.
The agreement with the MEA came about after the union rejected a contract that would have governed the length of teachers' workdays.
The new schedule is to be in force "until a time when a change is negotiated" with the union, according the document.
Superintendent Debra Livingston said on Monday that the union's president had been "very forthcoming in working together."

According to Wikipedia the book was published in 1927 in England and in 1935 in the USA. I believe that does not put it in the public domain. I know that logos has an Oswald Chambers collection as well as the devotional; perhaps there is another route for the e-text.

Great quote from Oswald that I'm using in a sermon on Galatians 1 tomorrow:
There is a certain pride in people that causes them to give and give, but to come and accept a gift is another thing. I will give my life to martyrdom; I will dedicate my life to service I will do anything. But do not humiliate me to the level of the most hell-deserving sinner and tell me that all I have to do is accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Just here to add my +1 to hoping for this in Accordance some day.

This seems to be an old thread, but I would definitely pay for this classic in Accordance.
