Hey guys,
The menu isnt rock solid but Ill know ill be serving Brawtwurst, Merguez, Italian, a "French Garlic" sausage, Spanish, Argentinian, Guatamalan, and Salvadorean Chorizo and probably a chicken apple . . . and maybe even(shudder) a tofu link . . .
Any thoughts on what beers to pair?


text: Hello my name is Kevin and i am currently a college sophomore who is in pursuit of becoming an Active Duty commissioned army officer. My problem is that i have relatively low GPA (mid-upper 2's) in the current University that i am enrolled in with degree in Mechanical Engineering. I know there is no excuse about my low GPA and there is only myself to blame, but i'm set in my mind to transferring to another university which will not only transfer the credits have in prior institution, but start fresh on my GPA. And while in that institution, i hope to participate in their ROTC program. Also i am an active National Guard member in my respective state. So long story short, here is my question: How is the GPA calculated for OML Accession for transfer students? I am seeing different answers from forum to college ROTC adviser that only the GPA's from the new institution counts or only the first 6 semesters count. Thank you so much for spending your time to read my question and hopefully i will find an answer from this forum!

Although there's a questionable resolve in terms of money they owed some former employees, David's Cafe is returning to South Beach after shutting down both of their locations within the past few years. The Lincoln Road was shuttered due to high rent and the Collins location was shuttered due to a mixture of surrounding construction and the fact that they were selling the building they were located in for mega millions.
Well now, on the corner of 9th Street and Alton Road (also a super congested road under construction), in the former Avila-Tei space, David's Cafe will return once more to fill you South Beachers with their trademark Cuban food.
The David's Cafe sign popped up in recent sign and a photo was sent to the New Times that confirmed the news. Hell, pass by and you'll see it too.
More information soon on the new location and eventual grand opening.

Torrepani is a village in the Shamutanti Hills in Kakhabad, inhabited by Svinns.[2]
At the time of the events described in The Shamutanti Hills, the daughter of the village Chief Proseus "has been captured by a band of marauders and offered as a sacrifice to a powerful cave demon", where she is guarded by a Manticore.[3] It is said in Torrepani that "according to an ancient prophecy, a dreadful scourge will overrun the village if the chief's line ever ends", and since the Chief's daughter is his only child, "an air of depression" hangs over the village.[4] As a result, the Svinn of Torrepani are rather a desperate lot, and may become rather forceful in attempts to persuade visitors to the village to help them.[5]
The Svinn of Torrepani count among their number a healing-priest, who may be persuaded to "treat wounds, cure any diseases and lift curses".[6] Torrepani also has an inn, where a hot meal costs 3 GP and a bed for the night costs 5 GP.[7]

I cannot make the secure form work with PaypalAsked by AmberComputers on July 25, 2013 at 08:39 AM
The secure form is hosted here (see padlock):
PayPal error:
The seller accepts encrypted website payments only. You cannot pay the seller through un-encrypted buttons. Please contact your seller for more details.
The form does not appear to meet Paypal requirements. Can I realy trust that the Payment process is secure?
I have to turn off Encrypted Website Payments in Paypal for the form to work.
Paypal state
If you enable Encrypted Website Payments, all of your Buy Now, Donations and Subscriptions buttons must be encrypted via the following method: Using your own code, you encrypt all website payments before sending them to PayPal.
It does not appear that Jotform is encrypting the data before sending it to Paypal.
JotForm Support
Glad to hear it!
You can also check my findings here: http://www.jotform.me/answers/246610. I suspect it was just due to your unsecure logo since I couldn't replicate the problem with my paypal account.
Sorry I had turned off Encrypted Website Payments in Paypal and forgot to turn it back on. I have since turned this setting back on. I have removed the http logos, but the PayPal error has returned. The logos do no appear to be the cause of the problem. It still does not appear that Jotform is encrypting the data before sending it to Paypal.
JotForm Support
Turning Off Encrypted Website Payments from your Paypal Account Settings should fix the issue. The logo shouldn't do anything with the error, any non-SSL content to our form would result to another error if its embedded to a secure (https) website.
Do you have any other form that uses the Encryption settings from your Paypal Account?

Women take a stand against debt – use debt management!
DebtBusters would like to challenge women country-wide to take a stand again, but this time against the debt crisis using debt management, which is faced by many South Africans across all walks of life. Recent statistics tell us that of the 21 Million South Africans that are in Debt, 10 million are in arrears. A large portion of those in arrears are estimated to be women.

Safepoints are required for 2 reasons, first to allow native threads proper pausing and second to make easier for the garbage collector identify what on the stack is a reference and what is not. The first one is a non-issue in this case, but the second one is, as precise "java stack" scanning is required for any moving collector (f.e. semi-space, train or mark-sweep-compact). The solution for the second problem is either have a tagged stack (we tag each slot in the stack is it's a reference or not), generate gc_maps for all bytecodes of a method (memory-wise, this is not pratical, with JIT'ed code even worse). > > For exemple, as I understand, JikesRVM implements gc safepoints (the > points in the bytecode where gc maps are generated) at loop backedges > and method calls. > > > The priorities that I set were (1) get the logic working > > without resorting to design changes such as multi-threading, > > then (2) optimize the implementation and evaluate > > improvements and architectural changes, then (3) implement > > improvements and architectural changes.

First, it's was not NPTL, but NGPT the project IBM created, my fault. The IBM site seens to be offline.From what I remember, it implemented userland threads with coordination of the kernel to do context switch and scheduling, basically using signals to perform the context switch. Anyway, I think it seens to be a good decision to switch soon to a native thread implementation, as it requires less code to have proper schedulling and good I/O primitives. > --- > > > As to your question about setjmp/longjmp, I agree that > > there are other ways to do it.

Samsung LC24F390FHE
FOR THOSE WANTING a better-than-basic gaming experience for as few coins as possible, the ViewSonic VX series is a must-see. It comes in three sizes — the 22-inch VX2257-mhd ($169), the 24-inch VX2457mhd (also $169) and the larger 27-inch VX2757-mhd for just $249.
At first glance, the VX screens may seem like run of the mill offerings, with 1,920 x 1,080 resolutions and a TN panel. But going beyond the nice low 1ms response time, the ViewSonic monitors include FreeSync support and have a 75Hz refresh rate. The tech operates from 47–75Hz, so is well suited to those with mid-range AMD cards who want a buttery smooth gaming experience, but are not chasing super high frame rates.
The monitor responds well to some OSD tweaks, but considering the price and spec, offers quite decent image quality and a uniform backlight. In testing, FreeSync did an excellent job of eliminating any tearing or stuttering. The VX2457-mhd has HDMI, DisplayPort and VGA inputs, but frustratingly does not include a DisplayPort cable, which is needed to actually use FreeSync.

Description: The four Gospels are filled with demands straight from the mouth of Jesus Christ. These demands are Jesusrsquo; way of showing us who he is and what he expects of us. They are not the harsh demands of a taskmaster. For example, the demand that we come to Jesus is like the demand of a father to his child in a burning window, ldquo; Jump to me!rdquo; Or like the demand of a rich, strong, tender, handsome husband to an unfaithful wife, ldquo; Come home!rdquo; What Jesus demands from the world can be summed up as: ldquo; Trust and treasure me above all.rdquo; This is good news! In What Jesus Demands from the World, John Piper has gathered many of Jesusrsquo; demands from the four Gospels. He begins with an introduction that puts the demands in a redemptive-historical context, then concisely examines each demand. The result is an accessible introduction for thoughtful inquirers and new believers, as well as meditative meat for veteran believers who want to know Jesus better.

London: Pakistan right handed batsman, Azhar Ali, who has been named in the Pakistan Test squad for the series against Australia in England, said that his dream has always been to make his international debut at Lord"s.
That dream could come true with Pakistan"s first Test being hosted at the home of cricket on July 13, provided he gets a place in the Pakistan playing XI.
"I have always dreamt of making my debut for Pakistan at Lord"s and as luck would have it, our opening Test is at Lord"s," PakPassion.net quoted Ali, as saying.
"I really hope that I am given the opportunity to debut at Lord"s, as it"s a ground steeped in tradition and history. I"ve always watched matches being played at Lord's and hoped that one day I would play there," he added.
Ali, 25, who has scored 11 centuries and nine half-centuries during his first class career, described himself as a player different to the modern day Pakistani stroke-makers.
"I like to play long innings and have no problems in being patient at the crease. I know the opposition will be tough in England, but I am confident that I can provide
Pakistan with stability and a degree of calmness and assurance at the top of the order," Ali said as according to ANI reports.
"I have experience of conditions in England having played league cricket over here, so hopefully I can use that experience to my advantage," he added.

Summertime -- for many children it is three months full of sunshine, swimming and fun. Unfortunately, for many families we serve, summertime is a struggle.
For 8-month-old Samuel and his big sister, Kia, summer is hard on their family. With Kia home from school, their mom had to quit her job because they could not afford daycare for both children, no matter how many hours their dad worked. With one less income during the hot months, they are constantly stressed about feeding their family of four.
The formula, food and diapers provided to Samuel at Infant Crisis Services will help ease the burden of their low-income summer. It will give the family the extra money they need to put food for all of them on the table.

[Home] [Site map] [Updates] [Why I Believe in an Old Earth]
I do not personally regard attacking Young-Earth Creationism (YEC) as a high priority, compared to attacking our common enemy, naturalistic (atheistic) evolution. But on my (now terminated) list CreationEvolutionDesign (CED) I was increasingly debating YECs, so I thought I might as well start including my arguments here under these headings to make them more permanent. I agree with this quote by Old-Earth Creationist (OEC) Alan Hayward, that "The things we" OECs and YECs "have in common are much more important than those on which we differ":
"In the next few chapters I shall be obliged to oppose the notion that the earth is young. But I shall not attack it; one does not attack one's own friends. If we must use a military metaphor, I hope my allies will view me as exhorting them rather than attacking them. I am appealing to them to stop using the strategy and weapons of a bygone age in our common fight against unbelief. For recent-creationists are my friends and allies. Let there be no mistake about that. The things we have in common are much more important than those on which we differ. We share a belief in an inspired Bible. We agree that Darwin was mistaken, and that God is the Creator of every living thing. Compared with this, the question of the age of the earth pales into insignificance." (Hayward A., "Creation and Evolution: Rethinking the Evidence from Science and the Bible," [1985], Bethany House: Minneapolis MN, 1995, reprint, p.79. Emphasis in original)
"Creationism. General meaning: affirms that the universe is a creation of God, and hence that a world-view such as naturalism is untrue. Young earth creationism: the belief that the earth and universe are less than about 15,000 years old. This is commonly connected with the calendar day interpretation of Genesis 1. Some adherents of the Calendar Day view, however, do not take a position on the age of the earth; and some adherents of the other views do not require that the earth be `old.' Old earth creationism: creationism that allows that the natural sciences accurately conclude that the universe is `old' (i.e. millions or even billions of years). Two sub-categories of old-earth creationism: - theistic evolution: belief that natural processes sustained by God's ordinary providence are God's means of bringing about life and humanity. - progressive creationism: belief that second causes sustained by God's providence are not the whole story, but that instead God has added supernatural, creative actions to the process, corresponding to the fiats of Genesis 1. Some confusion can arise because progressive creationists vary in the degree of biological change they are willing to countenance in between the creative events. The progressive creationists and the young earth creationists agree on a key point: namely that natural processes and ordinary providence are not adequate to explain the world. They both fall into the category of supernatural creationists or special creationists." ("Report of the Creation Study Committee," Presbyterian Church in America: Atlanta GA, 2000)Leading YECs Morris & Parker and Gish, have stated that creation is primary and the age of the Earth is secondary:
"The question of the date of creation is separate and distinct from the question of the fact of creation. The basic evidences supporting the Creation Model-for example, the laws of thermodynamics, the complex structures of living organisms, the universal gaps between types in both the living world and the fossil record-are all quite independent of the time of creation. Whether the world is ten thousand years old or ten trillion years old, these and other such evidences all point to creation, not to evolution, as the best explanation of origins. Unfortunately, evolutionists commonly confuse the issue, apparently believing that an ancient earth would prove evolution and a young earth would prove creation. The critics of the creation movement commonly focus their attacks not on creation in general, but on recent creation. The fact is, however, that the question of the age of the earth and the universe, while an important question in its own right, is quite independent of the question of creation or evolution, at least as far as the facts of science are concerned. For evolutionists to concentrate their criticisms of creationism mostly on this independent issue is merely an admission of the weakness of evolutionism. On the other hand, the concept of evolution does suggest an old earth. Creationism is free to consider all evidences regarding the earth's age, whether old or young, whereas evolutionism is bound to an old earth." (Morris H.M. & Parker G.E., "What is Creation Science?," [1982], Master Books: El Cajon CA, Revised Edition, 1987, p.253)
"Professor Burke mentions the age of the earth as evidence for evolution. While it is true that evolution demands an immensity of time, and thus any evidence for a young age for the earth or the cosmos would be fatal to evolution theory, evidence that the earth is old would neither prove evolution nor threaten creation. A vast age of the earth is a necessary - but not sufficient - evidence for evolution; and the fact that such a supposition is no threat to creation is self-evident from the fact that many special creationists do believe that the earth is old." (Gish D.T., "Response to D.C. Burke," in Burke D.C., ed., "Creation and Evolution: When Christians Disagree," Inter-Varsity Press: Leicester UK, 1985, pp.193-194)So where we OECs and YECs differ is on the important but secondary issue of the time-frame over which God created. This in turn has let to a number of other differences of how God created and the extent of Noah's Flood. My aim here will be to show the problems of Young-Earth Creationism (YEC) and offer solutions to those problems, so that a Young-Earth Creationist could become an Old-Earth Creationist. I am very concerned a Young-Earth Creationist, who gives up on YEC because of its many problems, does not `jump from the frying pan into the fire' and become a Theistic Evolutionist (as some YECs have done) or worse still, `throw the baby out with the bathwater' and give up on Christianity altogether, becoming an Naturalistic (Atheistic) Evolutionist (as some YECs have also done). There is neither reason, nor excuse, to do either. Nearly 40 years ago, I adopted as my bedrock position Progressive Creationist Bernard Ramm's principle that:
"God cannot contradict His speech in Nature by His speech in Scripture. If the Author of Nature and Scripture are the same God, then the two books of God must eventually recite the same story." (Ramm B.L., "The Christian View of Science and Scripture," [1955], Paternoster: Exeter, Devon UK, 1967, reprint, p.25)and I have increasingly found over the years that they do, but only as I have been willing to modify my faulty interpretations of both.

Here is an excerpt of a message, which makes the above points, which I posted to my now-terminated Yahoo discussion list, CreationEvolutionDesign:

You mean well but you are simply *WRONG* if you think the Universe and Earth are only ~10,000 years old. If they were, then *all* the age data would be pointing to it (when in fact *no* age data is). Then the `signal in the noise' would be *deafening* because: a) it is *one* date; and b) it is so *recent*. It is not good enough that YEC picks on problems with radiometric dating. YEC needs to produce its own evidence showing *all* the age data converging on ~10,000 years ago. But in fact *none* of it is. [...] -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Se: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/message/5921 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/message/5742 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/message/5469 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/message/5457 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/message/3935 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CreationEvolutionDesign/message/3931 [...] =================================================
"The Biblical [i.e. YEC] account of history not only accommodates such rapid changes in body form, but actually requires that it would have happened much faster than evolutionists would expect. As the animals left the Ark, multiplying to fill the Earth and all those empty ecological niches, natural selection could easily have caused an original `dog kind' (e.g.) on the Ark to `split' into wolves, coyotes, dingoes, etc. Because there are historical records showing some of these subtypes in existence only a few hundred years after the Flood, this means that there had to have been some very rapid (non-evolutionary) speciation. So it is encouragingly supportive of Biblical history when some such rapid changes are seen still occurring today. And this is being repeatedly confirmed. But since evolutionists mistakenly interpret all such adaptation/speciation as `evolution happening', they are left stunned when it happens much faster than their traditional interpretations of the fossil record would allow." (Catchpoole D. & Wieland C., "Speedy species surprise," Creation Magazine, Vol. 23, No. 2, March 2001, pp.13-15. Emphasis original. Answers in Genesis, 2006)
"Creation scientists teach that all animals ate only plants until Adam and Eve rebelled against God's authority. Because carnivorous activity involves animal death, they presume it must be one of the evil results of human sin. Accordingly, they propose that meat-eating creatures alive now and evident in the fossil record must have evolved in just several hundred years or less, by natural processes alone, from the plant-eating creatures! The size of Noah's ark and the limited number of humans on board (eight) present an equally serious problem for them. Even if all the animals aboard hibernated for the duration of the Flood, the maximum carrying capacity by their estimates for the ark would be about thirty thousand pairs of land animals? But the fossil record indicates the existence of at least a half billion such species, more than five million of which live on Earth today, and at least two million more lived in the era immediately after the Flood, as they date it. The problem grows worse. Shortly after the Flood, they say, a large proportion of the thirty thousand species on board dinosaurs, trilobites, and so on-went extinct; so the remaining few thousand species must have evolved by rapid and efficient natural processes alone into seven million or more species. Ironically, creation scientists (quietly) propose an efficiency of natural biological evolution greater than even the most optimistic Darwinist would dare to suggest." (Ross H.N., "The Genesis Question: Scientific Advances and the Accuracy of Genesis," NavPress: Colorado Springs CO, 1998, pp.90-91) [top]Bear in mind that YECs claim that all supernatural creating was completed by the sixth literal day of creation, so all that they have left after that is natural processes. So it is therefore inconsistent of YECs to criticise the same natural processes of speciation that evolutionists propose when YEC itself depends on them!
"Light has been thrown upon the whole problem of animal distribution and adaptation-or what may be called `a true evolution.' After the Flood each species began to `mutate' and new forms began to arise. Among the cattle varieties were produced having short hair, such as is found in the Zebu of India or the Red Africander. Such a coat being better adapted to a hot climate, these varieties migrated to warm, equatorial regions. Other varieties were produced having long, warm coverings of hair, such as the West Highlander and Galloway, or the prehistoric wild ox of northern Europe called the `auroch.' These varieties migrated northward. Natural selection, working upon Mendelian or `genic' variations, produced all the evolution there is. Such evolution is strictly in accordance with what is taught in all Scripture." (Nelson B.C., "After Its Kind," [1927], Bethany Fellowship: Minneapolis MN, Revised edition, 1952, Nineteenth printing, 1967, pp.119-120) [top]So again it is inconsistent of YECs to criticise Darwinian random mutation and natural selection when their own position depends on it!

The Baltic Wars were a series of wars between 1648 and 1714. Although there were, in fact, five, they are generally counted as a single war, as both sides were the same, as were their motives.
Angland entered the First Baltic War due to the Treaty of Dublin, which obliged it to do so. Unlike Brandenburg, Angland no longer had any economic issues, thanks to its recent gaining of Eire and Loither. Using their economic resources, Angland as able to launch a short term war in the Baltic. Though its economy was not war-focused at this point, the sheer amount of resources and men they threw into the FBW, along with Brandenburgish and Saxon talent, were part of the reasons that the war turned.
Saxony had joined the war as a result of the Instrument of Secession, signed in 1602 by Saxony, Brandenburg, and numerous other Northern German Schismist states. The treaty pledged a mutual defence pact; by 1648, however, as a result of civil wars within the HRE, of the original states only six survived. Three of them affirmed their pact, but two others remained neutral in the wars and one (Mecklenburg) sided with the Baltic Alliance. Saxony was possibly the strongest of the Grand Alliance at the start of the war, as Brandenburg was still plagued by the civil wars in Germany and Angland was destitute.
Brandenburg and Russia were the initial combatants in the war. The war came about due to the trading conflicts that emerged in the Baltic between the Gewerbe trading league of North Germany and the Torgovaya trading league of Russia. Tensions began when Russia banned Gewerb ships from their ports; Poland and Finland (this was before the unification of Scandinavia at the Treaty of Oslo) did the same, while Norway, Islafold and Sweden did the same. Danemark refused to, because the Gewerbe ships brought them trade from the Mediterranean sea. However, after the foundation of the Danish Handel League, Danemark began placing restrictions on the Gewerbe League, which was now unable to find port in the Baltic. When the Treaty of Oslo ended with Scandinavian unification, the Gewerbe ships, afraid that they might now lose their trade route out of the Baltic, struck first and attacked Copenhagen, destroying the port and almost all the Handel league ships.

Consequences two, Down Under Sun.
Nabiki smirked in delight as Grant kissed at her neck, delightful shivers rising up her spine at the actions.
In part she was thankful as the last half an hour of make out with the handsome Australian young man had left her lips rather tender, but unable to look at Grant's face took much of the enjoyment out of fooling around with him. He was damn pretty for an Australian, but he was far from intellectually stimulating.
The dimmed apartment thumping with the music of the party going on next door was enough privacy but Nabiki smirked as again the hormone filled young man tried to get to her bra after previously being declined, this time his hands deliciously hot on her skin rising up the back of her blouse to the strap across her back. Nabiki wasn't interested in more than making out tonight, but didn't move to stop Grant's hands.
The sound of chips being eaten drew Nabiki's attention to the diminutive figure sitting on top of the television set, big white toothy grin bright despite the dimmed lights.
Glaring at the aged Happosai, sent down from Japan in her luggage by her vindictive sister and brother in law, Nabiki willed him to shut up and leave but new that would never happen. Still unsure how to chase the old pervert off without alerting Grant, she failed to pay attention to his hands still trying to unclasp the back of her bra.
Munching on more chips, Happosai spoke up in English, "How long till he works out the clasp is on the front?"
Grant looked around suddenly for the voice, not seeing anyone immediately, only for his partner to yell rapid fire Japanese at the TV unit.
"Launguage my dear," Happosai chuckled back keeping to English."I know your mother didn't teach you those words."
Grant peered at the diminutive figure sitting on the TV, "Hey Babe, is that statue talking?"
"I'm no statue, pretty boy, I'm the guardian of Nabiki-chan's underwear. WAHH!" Without moving Happosai's battle aura swelled forward like a giant hand reaching for the wavy haired young man.
The surprisingly feminine screech of terror from Grant ended when the door to the apartment barged in, the statuesque Vicky, Nabiki's flatmate looking in, her hand slamming the wall switch for the main light, a beer in her other hand.
"Nabiki, you okay?"
"Vicky-chan!" Happosai yelled jumping on the girl in the camisole top and denim shorts, her hands trying to fend of the groping pervert, still managing not to spill her beer.

Has your child ever had a friend...
Has your child ever had a friend who was in an unusual situation?
When Mini was in second grade she befriended a really sweet girl. The girl was in and out of foster care, her mother had issues and the brother had issues with drugs and violence towards each other. When my daughter met her the little girl was back at home, the brother was away at some type of job corp and mom was clean. After awhile things unraveled and the little girl was suddenly put back into foster care. It was really heartbreaking, the whole situation. It was especially hard to explain this to my daughter, she of course was incredibly naive.
Have you ever found yourself in a situation, parenting wise where you had to explain something to your child about their friend like this?

Foster City, California – (The Hosting News) – June 22, 2007 – The first Editor's Choice Award for Service Catalog contributions, from the Open Source Service Catalog Community (OSSCC), has been bestowed upon the service offering definition, "Dedicated Hosting Environment," for its completeness, relevance, and usefulness.
The OSSCC Editorial Board is comprised of an independent team of ITIL experts, consultants, industry analysts, and practitioners. With more than 2,100 members, the Open Source Service Catalog Community is the most popular forum worldwide for IT practitioners to leverage best practices and proven examples as they get started with their Service Catalog initiatives. The vendor-neutral community includes areas for members to download Service Catalog templates, and encourages members to upload their Service Catalog examples to share among the community. The site also includes free resources, articles, community forums and links to relevant blogs.
Rodrigo Flores, CTO of newScale and Chairman of the Open Source Service Catalog Community Editorial Board remarked, "The phenomenal response to the new Open Source Service Catalog Community demonstrates the growing hunger for information and best practice Service Catalog content."
The winning Dedicated Hosting Environment service offering describes the end-to-end delivery and back-end management of a Windows or Linux application hosting environment. Unlike other entries that were focused on IT services provided to an end user or business unit, this particular service offering is an Infrastructure service provided to other IT groups or application development teams in a large enterprise. As a result, this service offering would ultimately be included as a component within a bundled service under the category of Application Services or Application Management.
The editorial board consists of chairman Rodrigo Flores, newScale, Inc.; Loy Allen, Perot Systems; Charles Betz, author and IT practitioner; Eric Borboen, Blue Infinity; Kris Brittain, Gartner; Troy DuMoulin, Pink Elephant; Martin Gandar, Butler Group; Brian Grafsgaard, QBS; Chip Gliedman, Forrester; Char LaBounty, LaBounty and Associates, Inc.; Michael Nieves, Accenture; Don Ottomano, Column Technologies; and Kirk Rothenberger, IT director. Detailed bios of the editorial board members are available at: www.servicecatalogs.com/Config/IntroText/AboutUs.

Growing up in Bakersfield Ca, there isn't a lot of opportunity for jobs in the action sports industry. After spending some time in Southern California I decided to sell everything and move south and enroll in The Art Institute of Los Angeles to peruse my goal of working for a action sports company creating video/photography content. Growing up I was always the guy filming all my buddies and making little videos and snapping pictures all the time. It is my passion to document the amazing skills and lives of individuals and share them with the rest of the world. I know by looking over my resume I may not be the most qualified candidate, but I can reassure you that my drive and willingness to learn and be a great team player and addition to your team will change your mind. I'm very familiar with Mac systems, Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Outlook Express, and basic knowledge of computers. I want to continue to learn and expand my skills and knowledge in the video/photography world and work in the action sport industry.

This build has been archived as of 20 March 2008, for the following reason:
This build had been designed for the following use:
This build was in the category Great before being archived.
This is a Ranger that trades the conditional Degen and Mobility/Defense of a standard Bow Ranger template for massive ranged damage. This build, or variants thereof, is commonly referred to as a Turret Ranger or Machine Gun Ranger.
Attributes and Skills Edit
<pvxbig> [build prof=R/W Expert=12+1+1 Marksmanship=12+1][Distracting Shot][Penetrating Attack][Sundering Attack][Prepared Shot][Flail][Read the Wind][Lightning Reflexes][Resurrection Signet][/build] </pvxbig>
Equipment Edit
- Survivor Insignia's on your armor.
- Flatbow with +15% damage over 50% health, +5 armor, and Vampiric mod. This will be your main bow for attacking. (Sundering Bow also works and should be used for co-ordinating spikes in GvG. You will do more damage per attack with that bow, although your non-skill attacks will be much slower and you won't have as much range)
- Flatbow with +5 energy, +30 health, and Sundering mod. Switch to this bow when you don't want the degen from your Vamp bow or when you need a quick bit of energy to do an attack. (again, Sundering Bow instead of Flatbow can also work. One set as Flatbow and one set as Sundering may even be ideal.)
- In your inventory, but not as main weapon sets, you'll want Recurve Bows of these same types in case Read the Wind gets hit by Diversion or shut down in some other manner. Flatbows have extremely high arcs when not under the effects of Read the Wind.
- Clarity and Superior Vigor runes.
- Equipment code: Pk5xcOzzjkawj5VNqMhpIfxUjpIDLvipIbRlgpIDr3hpI9E
Usage Edit
- Keep Read the Wind maintained at all times.
- Use Prepared Shot and Sundering Attack to dish out quick bursts of damage to targets.
- Use your interrupt wisely! Shutting down opponents' skills can frequently be more powerful than raw damage.
- Use Flail to increase your damage output.
- Use Lightning Reflexes to block attacks and/or for an attack speed buff when adrenaline isn't built to use Flail.
Counters Edit
Variants Edit
- Hunter's Shot
- Savage Shot
- Debilitating Shot
- Pin Down
- Precision Shot
- Various utility skills (Rend Enchantments, Favorable Winds for GvG, Purge Signet for TA, etc.)
- For PvE good idea is to take "I Am The Strongest!" instead of Lightning Reflexes to dramaticly increase damage output.
- For single target Asuran Scan is deadly too.
- Remember to switch Resurrection Signet to Sunspear Rebirth Signet
- For single target Asuran Scan is deadly too.

NEW YORK (AP) Anyone can do Sarah Palin's voice, says comedian Tina Fey, who has done a pretty good job of it herself. "Not since 'Sling Blade' has there been a voice that anybody can do," Fey said. "Anybody can take a swing at this voice."
Appearing on CBS' "Late Show with David Letterman" scheduled to air Friday, Fey shared her formula for having spoofed the Alaska governor in recent "Saturday Night Live" sketches.
"It's a little bit 'Fargo,' it's a little bit Reese Witherspoon in 'Election,'" said Fey, adding she also borrowed the Midwestern accent of her friend Paula's grandma, "a sweet, sweet old lady from Joliet, Ill. She would always say, 'Ohhhh, this and that and stuff like that!'"
Fey, the star of the NBC comedy "30 Rock," was formerly a writer and cast member at "SNL," where she has made a splash with guest appearances this fall making sport of her resemblance to the Republican vice presidential hopeful.
She explained to Letterman other ways she captures Palin's distinctive speaking style: dropping g's and loading sentences with r's."
"She's digging those r's," Fey said. "I think she thinks there's oil in those r's -- she is digging deep!"
As spoof made way for reality, Gov. Palin was scheduled to appear on "SNL" Saturday. There was no word on whether Fey would be on hand.

We are coming to the close of 2015, and I know you're probably doing what I've been doing this past week…looking back; thinking about the things that you could have, should have, or wished you would have done. We can't go back and change it no matter how much we want to. But while you're pondering the things that didn't happen, have you stop to celebrate all the things that did happen? Why is it we reflect upon our failures first? Why do we want to think about the things that cause us pain more than we think about the things that bring us joy?
There will be times things won't happen when we thought it should or the way we wanted, and we think the Lord has failed us. Yes, there are times we think the Lord let us down. Yet, here we are, we are still standing; that means He supplied everything that we needed. So, why aren't we reflecting on those memories.
If you are going to look back, then you must also remember how the Lord has kept you. If you are going to look back, look back on the blessings, not the curses. Remember the things that are true; God wants you to prosper and be in good health. Remember the things that are honest; His promises, He will never forsake you. Remember the things that are just; His righteousness. Remember the things that are pure; how the blood of Jesus that washed away your sins. Remember the things are lovely; His goodness and mercy. Remember the things that are of a good report; His word can't return to Him void. Remember to think on these things and never forget, it's not over until the Lord says it's over.
In less than 48 hours a new year begins, and we are not going to bring what happened yesterday into the new year. So, let's talk about remembering your blessings

Innovate or die. Whether you're a dinosaur, the New York Times, Microsoft or any company, it's impossible to survive without adapting to a changing environment. It's easy to become complacent and stop taking bold risks once you're successful. Making things tougher — as a company grows, so does its bureaucracy. The more levels of management, the more opportunity for one person to shoot down an idea that was guaranteed to thrive.
Steve Case, AOL co-founder and Revolution chief executive, frames this problem as a divide between companies that attack, and those that defend.
"Most people and certainly most large companies — incumbents are generally focused on defending the status quo. Attackers are focused on ushering in a new way," Case explained to me earlier this year. "Fortune 500 companies generally are defenders, trying to grow but in a measured incremental way and most of all trying to focus on not losing what they've got. A prevent defense in sports."
Businesses need to find more ways to encourage innovation, risk-taking and creative thought. Nolan Bushnell explained to Forbes how Atari and Chuck E. Cheese's, two companies he founded, celebrated failure by giving out a Turkey Award:
If you really want people to empty their pockets — with all their passion and ideas — then they have to know that judicious risks are rewarded, and failure is allowed. There isn't a business plan or strategy map that can predict every single variable. So, this is when you recognize people with a Turkey Award.
Bushnell shared the example of Chunk E. Cheese's trash cans designed to make cleaning up fun for kids:
The cans had a slight vacuum that would suck dirty napkins into it. And, they had a place to return your pizza tin in exchange for a token so you could play another game. It seemed like a great idea. But, it turned out to be a disaster. Families at Chuck E. Cheese's would often order their pizza, eat some, go play games for a while and then come back and eat some more. At normal restaurants, when people leave their table, everyone assumes they are finished. So, other kids would be swooping up pizza tins to feed to Mr. Munch for a quarter.
Despite the resulting "disaster," Bushnell still felt the work was great thinking, and worthy of recognition. It sounds counter-intuitive to reward failure. But failure is such a strong deterrent that it can prevent us from embracing opportunities. Because no one bats 1.000, great successes can't happen without some failures. So next time someone you work with fails at something, consider congratulating them for being brave and taking a chance.

We're pleased to announce that the Skyview G1 has undergone a bit of a facelift with their newest iteration. The new styling is curvier with a better font choice than before. The timestamp in the sample videos have changed a bit but overall the biggest change is with the mount. In the past we've griped about how the Skyview G1 had a bulky mount but the latest iteration comes with a ball-in-screw type mount which is shorter and more robust than its predecessor. Video quality seems just as sharp as before and it's worth noting that the Skyview G1 is one of the most reliable dashcams we carry.
Those that are looking for an upgrade from the Skyview G1 should look no further than the Koonlung lineup of single channel dashcams. With the code "KOONLUNGINTRO", customers can get special introductory pricing on this high end line of dashcams offering some of the best video quality on the market particularly in low light settings. The Koonlung A76 and C74 are a fair bit smaller than the Skyview G1 and come supplied with neat adhesive cable clips that make wire tucking a breeze. Below are some pictures of our customer's Mazda Miata running the Koonlung A76!

Drawing and Painting Courses on Udemy
You can get access to my drawing courses on Udemy as well as the art files to study from. As a digital artist trying to make a living with my new studio setup I was looking around for better ways to do this. I love to draw commissions but I never seemed to get enough of them to stay busy. But I noticed through my Youtube channel that I was getting a lot of people wanting to know how I do what I do. I was first approached to do online teaching by Tuts Plus of Envato and though it was a very amazing opportunity to work with those guys the work started to slow after a few courses. They started to make cut backs and I needed to keep pressing forward.

So as I searched the endless space that is the internet I found Udemy. I also found a bunch of others but I ultimately settled on Udemy because they do so well at helping you to promote your content and they have an extremely active Facebook group that all seem happy to help the newbie's which is huge.
So I started making course content for them and because you retain rights to your work I also offer the same content through my Gumroad as well. The best thing about Udemy is that students are going there specifically for learning so they are willing to spend to gain that instruction. I don't have to try to sell them on anything because they are already there with that intention. I don't mind the occasional sales pitch but it does conflict with that I would rather be doing and that is creating art and teaching others how to better create their art.

So Here are a few of my courses on Udemy. I hope you enjoy them if you decide to take them and fee free to ask any questions if you have them. They have a great question and review setup as well. I want to know if you find something that could have been better. I am continually trying to improve what I do so please let me know!
