They don't allow people with IP outside of US to register, though. My account was registered on closed beta, and at that time they haven't blocked the outside IP yet.

I still don't get how that works. If you turn it off before logging in, what was the point of turning it on in the first place ? When you login you're connecting with your IP from whereever you live at.
And as for making an account, why can't you do it with a proxy ? What difference does it do for to do it through a proxy so that your IP is American, instead of someone inside NA doing it ? It's exactly the same o.O
And by the way, I registered to the game during OBT and I am STILL able to register.

And I get this when I try to register:
For some reason, I have no luck when using proxy to access their main page, so that's the best method I can think of.

That's still weird. Whether I'm the host or joining a party, I don't lag. There's slight lag sometimes where enemies look like they went right but then appear on left but not so much as to annoy me. I've asked others too when they were hosting the dungeon that do I appear to lag to them but they've always said no ..
Perhaps my bandwidth has something to do with it .. I don't know. I'm using cable for 200/10M connection. Anyway looks like P2P is the '' right '' way to go with games .. Or atleast I wish other games would do this too. LaTale is annoying because it's impossible to play with too much latency. Fortunately for me I'm able to play LT too with just slight delay but it's still enough so that I can't play Blader class . With that said, the fact the game is P2P doesn't equal to '' lag like shit '' if you live far away.
SaintessHeart : If proxies don't work, then I guess you'll have to ask a friend in US if you got any. Since I can register though for whatever reason, I could do it too ..

Register .. If you can't ; Your region is locked. If you can, no worries. Even if you can't register, you can have someone else to do it for you and then play the game using Hotspot shield .. But you would have found all of this info from this thread if you had read a bit.

Well when I say no worries, it only applies to current situation. The game is for NA only, that's for sure. Sooner or later all regions except NA will be banned but then we can still resort to Hotspot shield.
Speaking of combos, while you can chain combos together they don't work really well. For example, as an Elsword, if you do Z Z Z X combo and launch the enemy forward, even if you can run really fast you can't chain the combo by running to the enemy and continuing your assault ; The combo will be reset, sometimes even if the Combo counter is still visible. So I'd say the combo system should be worked on .. If you've played LaTale, that's a game which has a great combo system where you can actually chain them .. Dragonica is another one. I mean, are there any other games where you can reach over 50k combo ?

In PvE, it's probably a Rena's most damaging skill. You can just keep firing triple arrows against an enemy against the wall or a large boss and their HP will just dive.
The combo system works like this
1.) There's a hit counter. After an enemy is hit an certain number of times, they will automatically fall down. About 12-15 hits is the max before the opponent automatically topples over in PvP.
Certain strings knock down, while others launch. Elsword's ZZZX is supposed to knockdown, so don't expect to combo after that. You can continue after a launch. Just hit them before they hit the surface.
2.) Most classes gain their combo utility from advancing into their first and second subclasses. Advancing classes modifies your Z and X attack strings and extends them. If you haven't noticed, most of base Elsword's attack strings knock down.

Does no one play this anymore? The thread isn't very active. I could use some company on the game when starting and playing new characters - Since my timezone is obviously different from most players, I have hard time getting a party.

First post since 2010, and oh god this game.
They're procrastinating to the max. Raven not being out is ridiculous, and Eve should be close to being out. Chung, not so much.
But this game is really, really, boring after a while, as it's incredibly repetitive, and there's a huge change in difficulty at around level 9. The game has dungeons that can take up to 10 minutes, and you have to repeat that at a minimum of 4 times, which murders your stamina. The stamina bar is not slated to be taken out, as it's in the Korean version as well.

You're also playing Rena incorrectly if you need to spam her specials that frequently. Your basic attack and Siege Mode are more than enough, especially at Shadow Forest.

The knock on the Pittsburgh Steelers heading into this season was that they were too old to win a championship.
Their offensive line was banged up, receivers like Hines Ward were considered well past their primes and the defense had a slew of veterans that, if things didn't go well, could easily be labeled from experienced to just plain old.
An opening week loss to the Ravens certainly didn't help quell those rumors, as whispers of preseason concerns quickly became thunderous roars of desperation.
Yet here we are, halfway through the season, with the Steelers sitting atop the AFC at 6-2. Winners of four straight, Pittsburgh's early-season problems appear to have been solved and while they're still considered one of the older teams in the league, as the Washington Post notices, it's been the emergence of younger players who have helped turn things around in Steel Town.
In just his third season, wide receiver Mike Wallace has become one of the elite pass catchers in the league and quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's top target. Wallace is fourth in the league in receiving yards with 800 and sixth with 43 receptions. For his career, the former University of Mississippi receiver has tallied nearly 3,000 yards and 21 touchdowns.
Of course, with the boom of fantasy football and the fortune of playing a glamorous position, most are familiar with Wallace's emergence. But along the offensive line, a unit that is in constant shuffle, another young player has been stepping up.
While veteran Max Starks, in his second stint with the Steelers, holds down the left tackle spot, rookie Marcus Gilbert has flourished at right tackle. The Steelers' second-round draft pick in 2011, Gilbert has kept would-be sack artists in check. After surrendering four sacks to the Ravens in the opening week, Roethlisberger has been sacked only 11 times over the past four games, a significant improvement for the team's weakest unit heading into the season.
Yet, despite the outstanding play of some of the younger faces on the roster, it's the veterans like Roethlisberger and Troy Polamalu who will decide if a second-straight Super Bowl appearance is in the works. But if the rookies and young players continue to excel, it'll make the veterans' jobs a whole lot easier.

FORMER Aldershot journalist Jimi Reed died in hospital last week writes John Walton. She had been ill for about two years but faced her illness with typically gutsy determination and good humour. Last autumn she went to the West Indies and stayed there until she was taken ill again a few days before her death.
Jimi, who was in her early fifties, joined the Aldershot News as a young reporter back in 1967. With her infectious drive she soon began to brighten up the somewhat stuffy paper with something that would appeal to her generation.
Her "Young Ideas" column contained all of the latest news on the local pop and youth scene and she built up a network of useful contacts who provided a host of good stories over the next few years.
Jimi later moved onto a national woman's magazine and wrote a number of books. She always retained a strong affection for the Aldershot area and the many friends she made here.
Only last summer she chuckled when I told her that George Paparesti had been made Deputy Mayor of Rushmoor. She remembered him as an aspiring disc jockey named Tommy Terpin! Jimi will be sadly missed by many people.

Home Business Ideas: More Ways to Increase Sales
Home business is all about sales. If you don't make sales to a large customer base you will not be able to create the substantial income that all home business entrepreneurs are seeking. Customers are the foundation of any business. Google marketing online is a great way to introduce your product or service to a global audience; if you know how to get your site to the top of the search engines where more people will see your offers.
Welcome once again to my ongoing series of Home Business Ideas. Today we'll look at 10 hot ways to sell your products like crazy:
1. When creating ads for the products that you are promoting for your home business, turn your ad copy into a story or article. Your prospects won't be as hesitant to read your ad and will become more interested in your product.
2. Place a customer survey on your website and give your visitors a freebie for filling it out. Otherwise the vast majority of website visitors will not bother. Surveys will give you valuable intelligence for your business
3. Enhance the power of your ad copy benefits by using attention grabbing words, highlighting keywords, using color, bolding key phrases, underlining, etc.
4. Give your home business customers tons of choices so they don't get the feeling of being controlled. Offer them a variety of ways to order, contact you, navigate, etc.
5. Put yourself in your visitors shoes. Design your home business site for them, not for yourself. Create your product around your visitors – not because you would buy it.
6. Get free advice from successful online home business owners. Participate in business chat rooms and message boards to chat with them.
7. Use free bonuses to create an urgency for your visitors to buy. Only offer them for a limited time with your main product.
8. Offer your customers extra add-on products at the point of purchase. For example, if they are buying an electronic toy, offer batteries with it.
9. Make your visitors feel good about themselves by giving them compliments. If they feel good they will also feel good about buying from your website.
10. Add multiple streams of income to your home business website. For example: if you are selling business books, try to sell business services, business courses and business supplies as well. And don't forget to investigate the possibilities of Google Adsense.
In future articles we will look at other Home Business Ideas.

Kirov's recording of the Captain's log for Friday, June 13th, was disrupted when The Creature infiltrated the station. He made a direct call to the Ghostbusters for help. As the bust continued, Kirov began to lose faith in the team. Soon enough, he was shocked when Peter Venkman relayed the news they caught the entity. He then ordered Irahqua to request N.A.S.A. to cut a check for the Ghostbusters and deduct their transportation expense from it.

As of January 1, several ridiculous laws will be going into effect in certain states. For starters, we bet you didn't know that tiger selfies are about to be banned. After becoming a notorious (and dangerous) trend on Tinder, New York is making it illegal to pose for a photo with a lion, tiger or big cat.
(Read More: Sadie Robertson Debuts Shocking New Look)
Sorry, New Yorkers! No more tiger selfies!
In addition to the new tiger selfie law, it's about to be illegal not to recycle your computer. New Yorkers must start recycling other electronics, as well. They'll no longer be allowed to throw televisions or video game consoles in the trash.

Come with us for a fantastic journey under the Red Sea of Egypt, one of the most beautiful diver paradise around the world. Join in to get in touch the amazing underwater world to see and enjoy these marvellous animals (dolphins, sharks, giant turtles) in near connection. You can wonder the brilliant corall-reefs such an impressive environment you can not find any other point of the world expect in Egypt.
The Living Sea takes you to the world's oceans, traveling to Palau, Hawaii, California, Oregon, Alaska, Nova Scotia and the Red Sea. Explore the mysterious depths and come face to face with life-sized humpback whales when you dive into "The Living Sea." Swim with thousands of golden jellyfish and witness the bizarre spawning behavior of giant clams. Surf in Hawaii, deep-sea dive in Palau and test your courage with the Coast Guard in some of the world's roughest seas! Follow a remotely operated vehicle 3,000 feet down through the ocean depths to view strange creatures (one as long as a football field!) which live where sunlight never penetrates. "The Living Sea" celebrates the "world ocean"– its beauty, diversity and importance to all life on earth.
Oceans cover two-thirds of the surface of our planet. The seas, which are vital to survival, have remained an enduring part of our human story.
In June 2007 the Oceans team began a series of underwater scientific expeditions to build a global picture of our seas. Their search for answers took them on an voyage of discovery to the Arctic, Southern and Indian Oceans, the Atlantic, the Red Sea, the Sea of Cortez and the Mediterranean.
Explorer Paul Rose led the team of intrepid adventurers, including environmentalist Philippe Cousteau (grandson of Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau), maritime archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue and marine biologist and oceanographer Tooni Mahto.

Entire home/apt
3 guests
1 bedroom
1 bed
Norma's retreat in Costa Rica has over 10 acres of property to lounge and relax. We have three pools, and now a stronger wifi connection than ever before! We're a gated community hidden in a very typical Costa Rican town. La Garita is also near major bus lines, so the city is within reach if you need it!
The space
**Note: Starting in March, we will have the fastest Internet Costa Rica has to offer!**
Welcome to Norma's! We have five studios, 3 1-bedroom houses, and 2 2-bedroom deluxe spaces.
Who stays at Norma's? Norma's is a community—some folks work in Costa Rica, some come to write a book or learn to paint, or teach themselves to hula hoop. If you're looking to stay in a quiet town and have plenty of space to roam around, Norma's is the place for you! We provide a relaxing space where you can swim, meditate, learn, or just pick mangos!
Norma's is right on the way to Jaco, and near the Poas Volcano and Braulio Carrillo National Park. We are a fifteen-minute drive away from SJO international airport, and the Coca-Cola bus depot is one bus ride away.
Folks staying for a couple of weeks, a month or more enjoy Norma's. If you're having a house built in Alajuela, or you're looking for a "home" while you explore Costa Rica, we are centrally located in a quiet Costa Rican town. We're also a good place to get away from it all! Artists and creative types always enjoy Norma's. There are muses here, as well as a large rock that is supposedly haunted! But you tell me if that's true...
My grandma is the best. But don't take my word for it :) She's been renting out space in her house since the 90s, and expanded and built little houses on her property several years ago. There are three pools, a tennis court, and a space for events (dancing, yoga, etc) on the property. There's enough space that you can avoid everyone if you'd like, or drop by the communal kitchen/pool area to socialize with the rest of the guests.
The communal area is also where you can plug into the Internet while you're there!
The Space: 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, living area, private washing machines, parking space, kitchen and living area. Comfortably fit four (two people in each bedroom). Additional small beds upon request.
There are some restaurants (known as "sodas" in Costa Rica), the soccer field, karaoke and a winery within walking distance. Small shops and a pharmacy also nearby. Very quaint, very small Costa Rican town. Calm, tranquil.
A major bus line right in front going to and from San Jose every day. Other buses going to the beach, to Alajuela, also very convenient!
Norma's Villas is situated in the small town of La Garita. Here are some TripAdvisor reviews from people who have stayed with us:
"If you want to experience true Costa Rica - stay with Norma in La Garita. There are those vacationers who stay at the resorts on the beach and see a "tourist" Costa Rica, and then there are those that truly want a Costa Rican vacation - THOSE people - should stay with Norma. Located in La Garita, we spent a week eating at the local sodas and experiencing the reality of Costa Rica. Our villa was safe, secure, and TRANQUIL. Mangos off the tree just feet from our front door, and all of the amenities we needed to relax (pool, hammock) right on-site."
"The Villas is located on a main road. Making access to public transportation quick and easy. The Villas as maintained in excellent condition. They are well appointed. The large grounds offer boundless access to the beauty of nature. From Norma's I was able to see much of the Central region, San Jose and also travel, using transportation, to Limon and as far south as P. Viejo."

Guest access
Three pools, a communal kitchen/internet/phone area (this is where people usually gather to socialize, even though they may have their own kitchen!), a tennis court, open grounds to collect fruit, a public kitchen and washing machine as well as private ones, a kitchen and bar available for rent for special occasions.
Interaction with guests
Norma is always willing to help you out with directions, things to do, or share a cup of coffee and some cookies. There's a lot of space at Norma's, and the common kitchen/pool area is a common meeting spot. Mingle or go off on your own, whenever you please!
Other things to note
We recycle at Norma's, so please separate your glass, plastics and paper into the marked bins!
We expect everyone at Norma's to respect other guests and the space.
Please no pets --- if you have a service animal, please send us a message. If you happen to see a stray animal, please do not feed it. This just encourages them to stay long after you have gone! If you have a question about an animal, please inform Norma before touching or feeding it. We also want to make sure our guests are comfortable.
Every guest gets a key to the main gate. We ask everyone who comes in at night to lock the gate and not leave it open overnight. During the day, the gate usually stays open unless Norma is not around. Basically, if the gate is locked when you come inside, please ensure it is still locked after you've come in!
While most rooms have their own kitchen, we also have a communal cooking/kitchen area and a communal washroom. Please clean up the community spaces if you use them. Costa Rica has lots and lots of wildlife and insects, and food that sits out will attract other guests!
Please smoke outside and please, no recreational drug use.
***Guests are expected to comply with Costa Rican laws.***
Cancel up to 5 days before your trip and get a full refund. Cancel within 5 days of your trip and the first night is non-refundable, but 50% of the cost for the remaining nights will be refunded.

My name is Lisa Marie and I help my grandma run her AirBnb.
Grandma lives in the quaint, Costa Rican town of La Garita. She has over 10 small houses to rent on over 10 acres of property. If you're looking for a comfortable, real Costa Rican experience, I would have to recommend Norma's!
Grandma Norma has been renting out space in her house since the 90s, and expanded and built little houses on her property several years ago. There are three pools, a tennis court, and a space for events (dancing, yoga, etc) on the property. There's enough space that you can avoid everyone if you'd like, or drop by the communal kitchen/pool area to socialize with the rest of the guests.
My grandma's nickname is "the umbrella" because she is always lucky. In Spanish, that's 'paraguas.'
I'm currently studying to receive my MFA in creative writing. I graduated from NYU with a degree in Philosophy.
I can't live without:
* chocolate-covered coffee beans
* King of the Hill and Jurassic Park
* iced lattes
* 24-hour delis
* snarky blogs
My life motto is the typical Costa Rican life motto: PURA VIDA! It means "pure life," but translates better into "life's good."

Team notes
National League Central
Chicago Cubs
Corey Patterson appears unfazed by manager Don
Baylor's indecision regarding his role. After telling Patterson in late
February that he would start in center, Baylor said last week that he would
"re-visit" the situation.
"If you worry about that, it can distract you from what
you're trying to accomplish," Patterson said.
But did the manager go back on his word?
"Maybe so," Patterson replied. "But I respect his position;
he's the manager and he has to do what's best for the team."
Patterson is trying to make minor changes in his swing
in hopes of boosting his spring average, which stood at .209 through Sunday.
"I'm not hitting the panic button," he said. "My main thing
is being selectively aggressive, swinging at balls I can handle in the strike
Baylor's other option in center is Roosevelt Brown,
who won the Pacific Coast League batting title last season but has never been
viewed as a quality defender and has little experience in center field.
Brown is hitting .367 in 49 at-bats.
Darren Lewis also is capable of playing center but
is seen as a backup or possible platoon partner for Patterson.
Shortstop Alex Gonzalez has been sidelined with
a strained right groin, and third baseman Bill Mueller is rehabilitating
his left knee after arthroscopic surgery.
Until Mueller returns sometime in April, Mark Bellhorn
and Chris Stynes are expected to platoon at third. Bellhorn, a switch-hitter
obtained from Oakland over the winter, would face right-handers.
Cincinnati Reds
Jose Rijo, who was out of baseball for five years before making a comeback
last year, is on the verge of squeezing into the rotation. In his last two spring
appearances, he has pitched a total of five perfect innings against the Phillies
and Pirates.
"I've retired 17 in a row," Rijo said, including the last two hitters he retired
three appearances ago. "One more and I break my own personal record. Man, what's
going on? It ain't supposed to be this easy. And it ain't.
"I'm throwing mostly sliders, but all different speeds and all different locations,"
he said. "They know it's coming, but they don't know where and they don't know
how fast."
"I never once said Junior was the problem in Cincinnati,
never once," Reese said.
Griffey said: "I could have told you that. Why do you
think I didn't get mad? You know how things get twisted around."
With no setbacks, Williamson should open the season with
the club, working an inning at a time in relief until he builds arm strength
and stamina.
Larkin was expected to play again March 20.
Houston Astros
Rookie Morgan Ensberg now is the leading candidate for the third base
job. His main competitor, Chris Truby, was traded to Montreal for utility
man Geoff Blum.
The switch-hitting Blum provides a much-needed left-handed bat. The Astros
don't discount the possibility that Blum could get considerable playing time
at third, too.
"Whether that ends up as some sort of platoon or whether (Blum) ends up playing
every day, that's to be determined," general manager Gerry Hunsicker
Blum can play all four infield positions and the outfield.
Ensberg has played in only four big-league games. He hit .310 with 23 home
runs and 61 RBI for Triple-A New Orleans last season despite missing almost
two months with a broken bone in his left wrist.
The hope is that Reynolds will be ready for the start
of the season. He was scratched from his latest start as a precaution.
Milwaukee Brewers
The rotation is somewhat unsettled because of injuries and other lingering
problems. Ben Sheets is the likely Opening Day starter. He has not given
up a run in 11 innings through Sunday and is one of the few starters without
health issues.
Jamey Wright was scheduled to throw off a mound early this week to test
his strained muscle in his left side. Wright is not expected to be ready by
the opener.
Ruben Quevedo was to be examined because of chronic fatigue and a drop
in velocity. Nick Neugebauer is returning from shoulder problems and
a virus. He was scheduled to make his first start March 20.
Lefty Glendon Rusch has been moderately effective through weekend games
and looks to have the No. 2 spot wrapped up. Paul Rigdon and Francisco
Campos are other candidates for the rotation.
Mark Loretta played shortstop in his absence.
The Brewers still are looking to trade Loretta.
Pittsburgh Pirates
Three seasons after finishing third in the NL Rookie of the Year voting, Warren
Morris was released March 13.
He hit .288 with 15 homers and 73 RBI in 1999, but his numbers declined in
2000 and he lost his starting job to Pat Meares last spring. Morris was
buried on the depth chart when the Pirates signed Pokey Reese this winter.
Two days after his release, Morris signed a minor league contract with Minnesota.
The Pirates also released reliever Gregg Olson, who has 217 career saves.
Olson allowed four runs in two innings in two exhibition appearances and was
slowed by a strained hip flexor.
He could have become a free agent but would have had
to forfeit the $2.4 million in guaranteed money left on his contract.
Non-roster invitee Mendy Lopez, an infielder,
broke the tip of his right thumb March 14 and probably will miss the remainder
of the exhibition season.
St. Louis Cardinals
Catcher Mike Matheny was so disturbed with his .218 average last year
that he considered taking up switch-hitting.
He worked this winter on trying to hit left-handed, with help from former major
leaguer Andy Van Slyke. Matheny's swing from his natural side improved so much,
though, that he junked the experiment.
After 29 at-bats (batting strictly right-handed this spring) he is hitting
Stephenson allowed just one run in nine innings over
his first two spring training starts.
Ankiel, who has made just one appearance, won't be ready
for the start of the season. Kile pitched two perfect innings in his first
spring training start and is projected as the fifth starter until he regains

Engineering Technicians are the highly trained, professional backbone of the Royal Navy Engineering Branch. They're the engine room, making sure our cutting-edge kit stays in optimum condition – anywhere in the world, 365 days a year.
If you have a hands-on, can-do attitude, Royal Navy engineering puts you at the front line of world-class technology, with fast-track, on-the-job training. You'll get to see the world, make friends for life, and have money in your pocket from the day you start training. Are you ready for a life without limits?
Depending on whether you choose to specialise in air, marine or weapons engineering, this is how the first few years of an Engineering Technician's career typically develops, though this will vary according to how you specialise. It also depends on how ambitious and driven you are; fast-track opportunities are possible for selected candidates.
This begins your journey to a fully-fledged, fully qualified Royal Navy Engineering Technician. Based at HMS Raleigh, one of our shore bases, you'll learn the discipline, teamwork, organisational, weapon-handling and firefighting skills that will serve you throughout your career. You'll need fitness for practical exercises and mental agility in the classroom.
This is where you start to get stuck in and work with our cutting-edge technology.. It's very hands-on, and could mean understanding hydraulics or electronic systems, through to weapons and explosives – and everything in between. You'll be tested and supported throughout.
Now it's time to put what you've learned in the classroom and workshop into practice, first-hand, on board one of our ships or submarines. Putting you in at the deep end means you'll learn your trade, on the job. With mentoring from us, you'll always be working towards your next qualification, be it a C&G Diploma, NVQ, more GCSEs, or an Advanced Engineering Apprenticeship. Whilst you will be assigned to your ship for 4 years, you won't spend the whole time at sea, and will still spend time in the UK, which allows you to take leave and enjoy downtime.
Once you've completed this stage of your on-the-job training, further technical training means a mix of time in and out of the classroom, to develop your specific engineering skills and qualifications even further – and to get you climbing the ranks.
Following further training, both in the classroom and at sea, and if your performance is hitting the right targets, you could climb through the ranks to eventually become a Warrant Officer, leading a team of engineers just like you.

Hi, Im new to wiki so this is my first post.
I think that MiB is really the protector of the island, not Jacob. Mother had a plan all along to make MiB the protector but fooled Jacob in the process as well. Mother said she favored MiB but he wanted to leave the island. So she lead Jacob to believe he was the protector so he could throw him into the light, turning him into the smoke monster, the protector. I think the light is the way the candidate turns into the protector. So mother must of been a smoke monster as well. Thats how she destroyed MiB's village. So when MiB killed her she said thank you because she was relieved of her duties. Jacob was just a pawn in her plan. Thats why MiB cant leave the island but Jacob can because he isn't the protector. Dharma did call him the security system, which kinda makes sense now. So whoever the next candidate is, they will kill MiB and go into the light, turn into smoke and become the next protector of the island.
THanks guys! --Man In White 06:39, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Succeeding With Speech Recognition
With Dyslexia Awareness Week 2014 approaching in November, it puts a spotlight on the reading and writing challenges faced by people in business who have dyslexia, or far more severe and debilitating conditions. As a Disability Needs Assessor, I carry out assessments for full and part-time students who have been granted a Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA).
I am also an Assistive Software Trainer, dividing my time conducting assessments at Cardiff, Swansea and The Open University (OU) and training OU students on assistive technology. The people I have assessed range in age and have a wide range of conditions spanning from specific learning difficulties (e.g. dyspraxia and dyslexia) to medical conditions and mental health. I estimate that I assess up to 120 people a year and train approximately 50 of them.
Of the students I assess at the brick-built universities, about 80- or 90% have a specific learning difficulty such as dyslexia or dyspraxia. They can range from an anxious 17 year-old who had not attended school for many years due to his condition, to a 74-year-old studying law because it was something he always wanted to do.
There's no doubt that today's desktop speech recognition technology for PCs continues to help many of the people I meet, giving them equal opportunities in the workplace in order to perform at their best. For many people, there's no doubt that new technology is helping to unlock previously closed doors both in education and in the workplace.
Painting A Picture
During an assessment, if a student has not heard of desktop speech recognition or seen it in operation, before demonstrating it I often introduce them to its benefits by creating a personal scenario for them, so that they can visualise how the technology will aid them.
For instance, if a someone has a back problem and has difficulty sitting at a workstation for too long before having to get up and move around due to pain, I explain that, with the wireless version of desktop speech software, he can stand up, walk around and still dictate. By creating this kind of scenario and outlining some of the basic principles of the technology before demonstrating it, I can give them a good idea about how easy it is to use and how it will benefit them.
Life After Training
Although I do not see students post-training, I do however often hear success stories. I once assessed a 70-year-old who had pain in his wrists due to dystonia and this impacted on the amount of work he could produce using a keyboard/mouse input method. I recommended speech recognition as a strategy for him. Once my recommendation had been approved by the finance body, I re-visited him and carried out the training.
Some months later I received an email from him thanking me for my support and telling me how much the technology had changed his life. In his email, he told me that not only had he submitted his first essay to the Open University but he had done it all using speech recognition. He even created the email using speech recognition technology.
The Route To Independence
Today's speech recognition technology can even benefit people with heavy accents. I assessed a quadriplegic who was starting a part-time degree in Spanish with The OU. I introduced him to the idea of using speech recognition to aid him in producing written work more easily – previously he was using his knuckles to access the keyboard. Understandably, the suggestion of this greatly improved strategy for producing work excited him.
We agreed on him using the Spanish-language version of the software. When I went to his home to commence training on the recommended software, it was speech recognition technology that he wanted to try first. During training – and even with his very strong Welsh accent – he was able to dictate a large paragraph in Spanish without one recognition error. The software has changed this his life and has given him back some independence and enabled him to become more proficient in producing essays as part of his studies.
Speech Today Challenges Yesterday's Perceptions
I always tell people that speech technology has been on a long road to improvement and it has come a long way in the last five years. I explain that it has improved greatly and that I have a long list of success stories that prove that speech recognitions works and can change their lives. I am confident that it can be recommended to anyone – students or employees – who, for whatever reason, struggles with a keyboard and mouse, not just during Dyslexia Awareness Week, but all year around.

A Fox? Really?
It was a cold day to sit on an aluminum bench for the kind of outcome that gives non-soccer fans the chance to lecture: "See, soccer is boring." Ninety minutes of regular play and three minutes of stoppage time tagged on and the result of the Dynamo home opener against Los Angeles Galaxy was a goose egg tie. The biggest cheers were for Ryan Cochane as he walked majestically off the field after he got a red card for grabbing the jersey of Robbie Findley as Findley was on his way to what appeared to be a sure fire goal.
Add to that was one of the lamest halftimes ever. Last season the Dynamo promoted local kid players during the break, bringing teams on to battle it out at Robertson Stadium. This time they had Dynamo Diesel, the team's mascot in the form of a fox. A fox? WTF? And he was boring.
Still, there was some good soccer played along the way as both teams came close to scoring a few times and Dynamo goalie Pat Onstad was back in good form making some key saves. And it was great to see the Galaxy's Landon Donovan up close as he cut through the Orange men. Although one fan was less than thrilled, yelling periodically: "Donovan you suck!" and "You suck Donovan!" and "You'll never make the U.S. team again!" and the somewhat random "Gain some weight Donovan! You're too light!"
Topping it all off were the relentless Texians. In addition to the drums and tubas and pirate flags and cheers in two languages, one of their leaders periodically waved a Che Guevara flag whenever it looked like the Dynamo might score. Again, huh?
Next home game is 7:30 Saturday against Chivas. – Margaret Downing

Cadillac Le Mans Prototype Hitting the Auction Block
When you think about Le Mans Prototype racers, Cadillac is probably not the first name that would spring to most people's minds. In fact, it might be one of the last.
Back in 2002, Cadillac campaigned the LM-02 racer. After two years of dismal results, this car, LM-02-002, was a lone bright light for the team's efforts, placing 9th at Le Mans and landing on the podium four times in the American Le Mans Series.
Powering the racer a 4.0-liter, V8 that produces 600-hp, thanks to a twin-turbo set-up. It also has a six-speed paddle-shift gearbox, just like in a Formula-One car. It also gets carbon brakes on all four corners.
And now all this goodness can be yours, because model number LM-02-002 is going on the auction block at the Amelia Island Concours on March 12, 2011. The auction portion will be handled by RM Auctions, a company that specializes in moving exotic machinery.
So if you fancy yourself a new track-day toy, this fully functional racer might just be what you're looking for.

URBANA — A Champaign teen turned himself in to police late Tuesday night hours after an Urbana man was shot in an apparent robbery attempt in Urbana.
Gabe Chaney, 18, who listed an address in the 200 block of Hessel Boulevard, was charged Thursday with aggravated battery with a firearm in connection with the shooting of Curtis Mosley, 28, of Urbana.
Police are still looking for a second man, Ardis Fenn, 23, who they believe fired the .22-caliber rifle that delivered a slug to Mosley's thigh.
Urbana police Sgt. Dan Morgan said Mosley was in the parking lot of a business in the 700 block of East Main Street about 4:45 p.m. when Fenn allegedly approached him with a gun and demanded what Mosley had.
"According to the victim and witness, the suspect approached, made comments to the effect of, 'Give me your stuff.' The victim stood up and started running and that's when he got shot," said Morgan.
He said medical officials left the bullet lodged in Mosley's leg and released him from the hospital a couple hours after the shooting.
Morgan said the pair had arrived in the 700 block of East Main Street earlier in Chaney's car and were visiting at a nearby home where relatives of Fenn live.
"They had arrived in the car and were at the building next door. Then Fenn approached Mosley. The shooting occurs and they jump back in the car and leave. Chaney is not identified as being an active participant in the robbery but apparently drove him to and from," Morgan said.
If convicted of the Class X felony, Chaney faces a mandatory prison term.
Judge Richard Klaus set his bond at $150,000 and ordered him to be back in court Aug. 7.
"fired the .22-caliber rifle...approached him with a shotgun"
A .22 caliber rifle is not a shotgun. FYI.
.....I was just thinking the same thing. World of difference between the two....and Urbana's current state of thuggery gone wild is the reason I learned the difference. 'Nuff said.

On Monday, the GW Law student chapter of the Federalist Society hosted a debate on judicial activism versus judicial restraint between the Institute for Justice's Clark Neily and me. Of course, we didn't actually call it a debate about judicial activism versus restraint. Neily rebranded the debate "judicial engagement versus judicial abdication." And not wanting to be left out of the rebranding game, I re-relabeled the debate as a choice between "judicial arrogance" and "judicial awareness." If you want to watch my argument for judicial awareness — and Neily's spirited case for judicial arrogance — you can watch the video here. From the page, just click "play," and then you can click to maximize the size of the picture. Neily starts at about 9:50; I start around 28:20; we then go back and worth starting around 44:00; and the Q&A starts at the 50:30 point.
It was a fun event, and we were particularly honored by the appearance in the audience of our own Randy Barnett and friend-of-the-VC Ilya Shapiro.

What Is An Emergency and Critical Care Specialist?
A board certified specialist in emergency and critical care is a veterinarian who has obtained intensive, additional training in treating life-threatening conditions.
An emergency and critical care specialist can help in the following kinds of cases, among others:
- Traumatic injury (including fractures, bite wounds, burns, lacerations)
- Respiratory emergencies (including cases in which the use of ventilators is needed) Animals in need of blood transfusions Animals that are in shock
- Animals with life threatening neurologic disease, such as coma or severe seizures
While your general practitioner veterinarian can diagnose and treat many health problems and handle many routine emergencies, certain situations may require the care of a doctor who has had specialized, intensive training in handling emergency and critical care for your pet. An emergency and critical care specialist typically works in tandem with your general practitioner veterinarian on a referral basis, as well as with any other needed specialists, until the emergency is resolved.
When Does My Pet Need Emergency Care?
Any of the following situations can be considered an emergency:
- Difficulty breathing
- Ingestion of a foreign object or unknown substance
- Bleeding
- Vomiting blood
- Blood in the feces or urine
- Swollen, hard abdomen that is painful to the touch
- Serious wound
- Suspected broken limb
- Any injury to the eye
- Loss of consciousness
- Seizures
- Inability to move or sudden weakness
- Unusual or erratic behavior
- Signs of extreme pain, such as whining or shaking
- Straining to urinate (especially a male cat)
- Labor that does not progress
- Signs of heatstroke
What Is Critical Care?
While an emergency is unfolding, or throughout recovery from a serious illness or accident, ongoing diagnostic and therapeutic care and constant monitoring of your pet's condition may be required. Many emergency and critical care facilities offer 24-hour supervision of critically ill pets and, just as in human hospitals, may have dedicated Intensive Care and Critical Care Units (ICU/CCU). Such facilities are equipped to provide oxygen therapy, cardiac monitoring, blood transfusions, and nutritional support. Such facilities also typically have advanced diagnostic capabilities onsite, such as ultrasound and echocardiography.

Why Did the Killer Whale Cross the Ocean?
Because he wanted to slough off skin but not experience the heat loss that doing so would have caused in frigid waters.
Researchers tracking killer whales in Antarctic waters discovered that they would simply take off, seemingly at random, and make the 5,800-mile round trip to the subtropical waters off Brazil and Uruguay. The trips weren't seasonal, and didn't seem to be tied to patterns of mating, or unusual feeding. The trips could also be exceedingly fast: One whale completed the round trip in 42 days….

Oedipus - Son of Laius, King of Thebes,
and Queen Jocasta
Prophicized by an oracle that King of Thebes,
Laius, was doomed to perish at the hands
of his own son
Oedipus, son of King Laius and Queen Jocasta, was placed on a mountainside, with his feet pierced and tied together. He was later found by a shepard and taken to the childless King and Queen of Corinth; he was raised as their son
Oedipus was informed by the Oracle at Delphi that he would kill his father and marry his mother; he decided to leave Corinth and never return.
On his way to Thebes, Oedipus encountered King Laius (his true father) and killed him in a quarrel over the right-of-way of the road.
After correctly answering the riddle of the Sphinz,
What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?
the Sphinx killed herself, permitting Oedipus enternce into Thebes.
He was made king for his feat in destroying the Sphinx.
Sphinz answer: A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age. (metaphors)
He married the widow, Jocasta, his birth mother, thus fulfilling the prohesy.
Oedipus and Jocasta had four children: Antigone, Eteocles, Polynices, and Ismene.
Upon learning the truth about the patricide (killing his father) and the incest (Jocasta being his birth mother), Oedipus blinded himself before going into exile. He later was released from his earthly existence by Eumendes and Jocasta hanged herself.
Creon, Jocasta's brother is sent to the Oracle at Delphi to obtain an answer to the pestilence and infertility rampant in Thebes.
The oracle informs Creon that the end will only come when the true murderer of Laius is found and either killed or exiled.
Oedipus sends for the blind prophet, Tiresias, and learns that he was the killer.
In a final battle for the control of Thebes, Oedipus's two sons kill each other. Creon issues an order that no one is to bury Polynices upon pain of death. But Antigone is determined that her brother's body will have the proper rites of burial.

GERARD Beale is out by a second. Knows it too. "Watching tapes of that play youre talking about, Im a metre off, " he shrugs.
"The difference probably falls within a footstep, maybe less."
Chatting now with News Limited inside WIN Stadium, Beale is walking you through a move which, even with the season only a week old, has already been dissected by Peter Sterling, Matty Johns and every coach
in the NRL.
An orchestrated play where this new St George Illawarra fullback — a boom Brisbane recruit boasting 64 NRL
appearances — sweeps around the Dragons backline, receives the Steeden and . . . well, someone grab the kicking tee so we can convert.
When Darius Boyd wore the Red V, he owned this piece of the playbook like Donald Trump does ridiculously
tall towers.
So good that when St George Illawarra beat the Roosters for that 2010 premiership, their fans chanted about a ''team of Darius Boyds'' to the tune of Yellow Submarine.
But when Boyd took that seed, so often from playmaker Jamie Soward, he had already swept around and straightened his run.
Hitting that defensive line and —boom —away. Beale, however, is catching while still looping on his arc.
Did it in the Charity Shield against Souths.
Against Melbourne in the season opener too. A difference so small, you could measure it within a footstep.
''So it's not far away,'' the Dragons No. 1 insists.
''On the field, a metre can mean so much to the way you execute a play. But when it clicks . . . and watching
on the tape you can see we're close . . .you'll see the difference.''
And make no mistake, this is why Beale is here.
Making his NRL debut with Brisbane back in 2009, Beale used the ensuing three years to become something of a
mainstay in the Broncos backline, but rarely in his preferred position at No.1.
So when the club re-signed Josh Hoffman for a further three years, Beale wanted out.
With Boyd following coach Wayne Bennett to Newcastle last year, the Dragons alternated between NSW Origin
flyer Brett Morris and Kiwi Test winger Jason Nightingale at the back.
''And while those guys did a great job for us,'' insists Dragons playmaker
Jamie Soward. ''I think everyone knows how important it is to have a specialist fullback, a guy who really wants to play there, combining with them instead.''
Beale is that man for the Dragons. Asked what he likes most about Beale, Soward continues: ''Silky hands.
And by silky I mean nothing looks forced. He catches and passes in the one motion, it's all so fluent.
''Obviously it's going to take him time to settle into the fullback role because he hasn't played a lot of footy
there. But you can't doubt the talent. Gerard Beale will be a future leader of this club.''
But can he be Darius Boyd?
Having already played four Tests for New Zealand, can this 22-year-old revive the Dragons fortunes under rookie coach Steve Price?
Already Beale has dropped down to 92kg. He has also impressed teammates by posting improved numbers in both agility and 40m drills.
''But I'm here to be my own man,'' Beale says when the Boyd comparison is put.
''Darius is a great fullback and, during his time here, proved a great example of how to execute certain plays. But I also watch plenty of Billy Slater, Greg Inglis, guys like that.
''Right now, we've got a number of new plays we're working on. Things that will be different to when Darius
was here. And we're just putting the finishing touches on everything now . . .just looking for that final 'click'.''

Living close to pipemaker icons like Hans Former Nielsen and Jess Chonovitz he accidentally met these two guys. Since then they have guided him guides in to the art of pipemaking. Recently Jon started a dialogue with Tom Eltang as well, so he is well covered in terms of experienced teachers. Jon started up with selling his pipes by us in 2013 and today he is represented in China, USA, Germany and of course here at The Danish Pipe Shop. From the first of January 2016 Jon decided to go all in on pipemaking and is today a full time pipemaker. In 2017 a short documentary about Jon was produced. You can watch it here.
