Many people have left AO over the years, for a plethora of reasons.
Funcom has had a soft spot for players like froobs, who bring a valuable commodity to the game by just being present. Without froobs, this game could have not continued the way it has in the past.
As much as it pains me to admit it, in these harsh empty times the s10 nerf hit and many farmers also rapidly vacated the game. Some say this needed to happen, others say it didn't. TBH, the farmers never really bothered me unless they were purposefully ripping my own farms from underneath me. For the most part, that was a rare occasion, and thats just a beef between players. Very little of it had anything to do with funcom, AO, or the direction of the game.
I approved it when my guildmates built toons for s10. I told them it was a valuable resource for people to get ahead should they not mind staying at the appropriate levels for a while. I also approved it when they went there in groups.
Over time, farmers in AO are like farmers in any game. You can't be rid of them without stripping from them what it is that they farm. Stripping the bounties and the CRU from cut deeply into a huge portion of people making money and tokens. The game feels already rapidly approaching a death rattle, and has been so for a long time. Is it really smart to divert it so much that you end up removing farmers from the game as well? I farm. I won't lie. Parts of this game are designed to allow farming of things, from money, to tokens, to rewards of rare drops and other things. It is kinda beaten into us. Now, I don't make it a daily habit to farm like a madman but these people do have a place in the game as well, just as much as froobs. Farmers pay to play too, though, not all of them are not on the straight and narrow so much. But, that doesn't remove their total niche in the game as much as anyone else.
If you wanna destroy exploiters, the fine. You won't hear any argument from me. Exploiters tend to be farmers, but its not always mutually inclusive. I'd mostly suggest an implemention that doesn't stop other people from farming what they choose or need to.
It takes work to make money in this game. It takes money to buy the higher end things like alien armor and the like. People feel a sense of accomplishment when their hard work, patience, time in, and subscription fees come to fruition. I'm not saying rollback s10 either. But, like the newbie island experience it should still feel like its a asset to the game.
That's called progress.

Okay, I'm ready to buy again, but which one??
AKG K67 or K618?
Both are on ear and both are $99.
Raw assumption, TIesto tuned for more details ala Tiesto line-ups. AKG for more raw bass prowess.
That's my assumption as well. Normally I would go with the one with the most bass, but my demand for bass is not the same as it was a year ago, and those sparkly thingy on the K67 is a bit of a turn off.
I'll probably go with the K618 since I plan to get the K267 in a few months.
slight different not by much and you cant compare $99 cans with $399 one
I decided to just wait for the K267 for my first AKG purchase, so I went with the PRO700MK2.
Recently, I haven't been posting on Head-Fi, but I thought that this might interest some people:
Tyll has the new graphs for the K619 up at Innerfideilty
Quite funny how experiences here go along with the charts nicely:
FR shows both a slight vocal boost and large increase in bass after a slight dip, and certainly could be an improvement over the Pro700MK2 for crazy Bassheads (though I can't say for sure without either graphs generated on the same system or extensive personal listening)...
overall, this pair is fairly clean compared to most headphones near its ~$100 price-point. The somewhat-middling distortion across the audible range is disconcerting, however.
AKG leaning to have less boomy, going deep & vibrant detail for their products nowadays.
It seems on < $100 segment AKG DJ quite competitive for many years.
Sennheiser didnt do much , still fighting with old rusty HD205-ii? Come on, give me an answer
Is it worth dropping the extra $20 on these vs the K518? My main concern is durability because it seems their sound signature's are quite similar
Is there any other place to order these from Canada other than razordogdeals' ebay? UPS slammed me with customs and brokerage fees last time I ordered internationally through UPS
can only comment on build quality: the k518 are a lot more sturdy than the k618. the hollow plastic headband will easily crack when bended.
seems that they do not get as much love as the k518 or did i miss any reviews?
Hope this would not be considered as hijack of the 618 thread =P
I'm typing this listening to the K67..........I've seen everywhere people asking for comparison between K618 and K167.......
While I haven't listened to K167 since the demos are not in yet, I dun think the K167 would make a good comparison with K618 because IT IS A MUCH BIGGER BEAST. It may not be apparent from the pictures but it is HUGE. On the other hand the K67 is about the same size as the K618 and it is reasonable to assume that it is indeed designed based on the K618. Do take note that the K67 is a noticeably bulkier package than the predecessors - K450, K518 etc, though not a big deal. The radius of K167 is about that of the K181 while the enclosures measures quite a lot thicker than the K181, which renders it a good bit less suitable for portable use.
I loved the K518s (NOT 618), and now the K67 is one complete step up from the 518s. Much better coherence between the frequency range is the key - one big gripe I have (probably the only one as well) against the K518 were the huge gap between the mid-bass and the mids, with the lower mids missing altogether, which caused some vocals and accoustic instruments sound unnatural. The K67 is a bassy can, but not overly so and got a great balance and good coherence across the board, and even the extremes are nicely extended despite being slightly (only slightly) on the dark side of neutral. And despite the clearly elevated bass, there is adequate low bass to balance out the mid bass so no obvious mid bass hump.
If the 618s are anything like the K67 then it's probably very good~~

text: Artificial Foot Recycles Energy With Every StepBrian Barrett2/17/10 7:00pmFiled to: BionicArtificial footprosthesesFeetmicrocontrollersPrototypesArtificial LimbsAnkles38EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Researchers at the University of Michigan have created a prosthesis that makes walking much easier on amputees than current options. The trick: an artificial foot that recycles the kinetic energy generated by walking. Advertisement The device works by mimicking the natural push-off of a human ankle, using a microprocessor to control the device and capture the energy normally dissipated by the leg:In tests on subjects walking with an artificially-impaired ankle, a conventional prosthesis reduced ankle push-off work and increased net metabolic energy expenditure by 23% compared to normal walking. Energy recycling restored ankle push-off to normal and reduced the net metabolic energy penalty to 14%.That means less cumbersome dragging of an artificial limb and a more natural walking sensation. It also only requires a small battery to operate, running off of less than one watt of power. Advertisement It's just a prototype for now, but assuming the current round of testing goes well, there's no reason not to expect a commercial application in the not too distant future.

Comments: This is the first tie I've purchased from "Bill's Private Stock", and I have to admit that I was a bit hesitant at first because of the price. However, after wearing it I have to say that it was worth every penny. It looks great, and it's formal without being too formal; great for business or pleasure. |

This review is from: MSI Gaming N760 TF 2GD5/OC G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card
Pros: -TwinFrozr cooler is very good at what it does. 100mm axial fans and the aluminum fin stack with 4 heatpipes keeps things cool; haven't gone above 60 C
-Very quiet. Fans run about about 50% speed during gaming and during normal use, about 34% speed, at which point it's virtually silent
-Decent factory core speed overclock
-Baseplate which will hopefully keep it straight for a bit longer (mostly, it is a heavy card after all)
-For those not inclined to manually overclock, MSI Gaming app offers easy one-click core speed overclocking and adjusts the fan profile accordingly
Cons: -Doesn't have a backplate (pretty much not necessary except for looks on this card)
-PCB is brown for whatever reason, guess MSI thought it was close enough to black
-Buzzing sound present when in-game (though it's only audible if you put your ear directly next to the card)
Other Thoughts: I was lucky enough to get working codes, so I actually got Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Splinter Cell: Blacklist with the card, making it an even better value.
Also note that the heatpipe finstack has the fins positioned horizontally instead of vertically like most other aftermarket coolers. This makes far more sense (to me at least) than vertical fins because the back of the bracket has vent holes. Due to the axial fan design, heat will always exhaust into your case, but the proportion that does is important. If the finstack is vertical (air moves up and down), ALL of the heat is thrown into the case, rendering the vent holes in the rear bracket essentially useless. If the finstack is horizontal (air moves left and right) at least SOME proportion of air has a CHANCE to go through the vent holes in the rear bracket which means there's that much LESS hot air your case has to deal with. Just my two cents on how airflow works with this cooler, so know that it may not be the correct interpretation
This review is from: MSI Z87-G55 LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros: -blue and black, the color scheme I like best
-Z87 chipset means all SATA III ports so it'll be speedy regardless of which port I plug into
-Plenty of PCIE for graphics cards and peripherals
-4 USB 3.0 ports in the back and one header onboard for 2 more
-UEFI BIOS doesn't look bad, not the best layout, but preferable to the BIOS of the past
-Can easily tweak (if you look for them, not easy to find, not hard to find) processor and RAM clocks and timings
Cons: -Wish there was even more onboard USB 3.0 but realistically, I've got 6 of those ports now so I'm not exactly lacking
-Wish 8-pin CPU power was closer to the edge of the board
Other Thoughts: SOMEBODY mentioned that this shouldn't be a board for anyone wanting to overclock and I will agree with them in terms of using OC Genie because it won't even get close to a decent overclock. But for those looking to manually overclock anyway and skip the genie, this board is fantastic on a budget. My Core i5-4670k is running at 4.5 GHz just fine because I set them myself and tested. Don't fear that those settings are "locked out" or anything like that

Pros: Does what an optical drive should at a good price.
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Optical drives are rarely necessary anymore, but I got this for those rare times I need one and from what I've seen so far, it's simply a solid choice for an optical disk drive

So you have been forced by a foolish human-android to acknowledge the insanity of this so-called society ? Don't worry, bud, we'll work something out as always :)
The purposes and aims of this experiment are two folds: First, we want you to avoid being mentally harmed while being forced to take antipsychotics drugs. Second, we want you to find a way to functionalize the degradation of the psychoactive compound into a non-psychoactive, and safe racemase.
Design philosophy
- broad spectrum specificity : The degradation of the optically-active racemate must accept many substrates. (ie: pines and dones)
- Fast, safe, and side-effects free bioremoval of the metabolite.
One Step Transamination and Degradation of Paliperidone to PLP
- Approach 1: racemization of paliperidone to 5'-pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) via MTRR(ATP) synthase, a B-glucuronide (B-galactosidase) analog. This is an experimental method to neutralize the active metabolite to a more safe mono-aminase, which should hopefully provide a wet blanket for glutamate-induced neurotoxicity.
Starting Material
- paliperidone: an atypical antipsychotic derived from Risperidone. see Risperidone.
- clozanpine: another atypical antipsychotic
- citric acid : refer to "Citric acid cycle"
- racemate:
- racemase:
- racemization:
- ketoacidosis:

Oh, how I love this!! Sparkly, clean, and uplifting. I get a lot of ginger, orange, peony, and cedar at first. Lovely! Then I detect nuances of lily, freesia and soothing musk which bind the energetic notes for an overall comforting experience. A hint of amber makes an appearance, injecting just enough warmth to knock this formula into the realm of awe and beauty. I discovered this works as a great stress reliever and has good longevity to sustain this effect. Wonderful in summer. Can't wait to see how this works in colder weather. I not only have come to love this but NEED this in my collection. Very unique. Pure love!
This opens citrus-tangerine and floral peony then goes very rosy on me. It's very clean and sparkling especially up top, and maintains this uplifting quality. It leaves a prominent scent trail of girly rose and peony, without being cloying. However, there's something in this that is so strong, maybe musks, that makes me a little bit nauseous if I wear it too close to my neck. The drydown is powerful, expensive hair product. Madison Soiree is a more sophisticated version of this uplifting floral idea with (IMHO) a better drydown.
This is more of a masculine scent than I usually go for, but I like this. It is a little soapy but not in an unpleasant way. It's kind of clean and spicy at the same time. I think this would be a great summer scent.
I love this perfume. It's like Spring in a bottle. Feminine and floral, it's fine for all ages, young and older. Peony is prominent to me. It's very fresh, sparkling and happy. Pink! Very pink. Every time I wear it, I get compliments. Long lasting, great sillage, very pure ingredients. One of my favorite Bond No. 9 scents, it's my go to fragrance for every day wear.
Well, I gave it a chance and I still don't like it. I wanted to wash it off 5 minutes after I applied it. I think you'd have to be in love with ginger and cardamom to get anything out of this.
The opening has a sour, almost astringent sort of "zing" that doesn't complement the florals at all. When the basil shows up, it doesn't help either - it feels intrusive, like it was just randomly thrown in there.
After a few days, when my nose got accustomed to it, I smelled the light, grassy "Picnic in the Park" floral described below, but I wouldn't ever wear it again - it's boring both ways.
I just started wearing this one, and I really don't like it. It's just a boring, annoying little scent, totally un-sexy. I'll try to stick it out for my usual 5-day trial to see if it grows on me.
Opened with almost masculine burst of ginger, bergamot and the huge chaos called "fruity notes". When it settles a little bit it starts to get soapy, but the cardamon keeps everything under control and the perfume starts to smell better, starts to develope some class and so.
What do I dislike about the opening? It reminds me a bit of shaving foam, because of the ginger, citruses and whatever makes everything so masculine here.
At the heart cardamon goes on and it starts to get smoky. The first flower which welcomes me is peony. There is still the aftershave foam feel to it, but it get's better.
Its actually enjoyable. Very cold, refreshing. It's veru citrusy, so would be suited well for the summer.
Bond no 9 NEW YORK FLING opens with a pleasing melange of ginger and citrus, along with a light touch of cardamom. This is a refreshing yet not bracing combination which should appeal to men and women alike.
To my nose, the development trajectory moves next straight to the drydown, a slightly woody, lightly floral, brownish-green grassiness. The flowers are more garnishes than a focus, in NEW YORK FLING, which reminds me a bit of some high quality vetiver frags.
I think that from the name I was expecting something loud and flamboyant, but given its understated demeanor, perhaps a better name would be NEW YORK SPRING PICNIC IN THE PARK. Recommended for (and tested in) hot weather!
This is a citrus, ginger delight from the beginning that drys down and develops beautifully with floral, basil and a nice cedar note. The name, New York Fling, is perfect for this perfume. I'm testing 39 bon bon samples and this is a really good one.
It is a wonderful spring or summer scent. It make me feel so clean. The white flowers in the fragrance are just so natural. It begins like a unisex fragrance (maybe because of the ginger and cardamon), but in a short it becomes so feminine, I like the soapiness: it is a different one! The fragrance make me feel really feminine, innocent and in a mood for sunbath! I love it and I`m sad that I have a 50 ml bottle, the fragrance is so expensive in Europe!
Finally New York Fling is here in the database so I can review!
When I first tried this I tried to conjure the New York night-life image as the name suggests, but no. This fragrance feels like spring!
At first the top notes are very strongly of citrus and ginger. Sparkly and bright. But after a short while it's personality changes completely. Imagine an early spring day when the leaves and grass are the beautiful light, bright green of new growth, cherry blossoms cover the trees, there's a soft warm breeze, and you are eager to shed the dark colors and scents of the past winter. You choose a light floral dress and this fragrance!
It is a beautiful feminine floral that dances so lightly. Perfect for a Sunday brunch or a casual afternoon with family. Never heady or cloying, just perfect!

Great run for me. Omitting the first mile, which was a warmup, overall average pace was 9:25; right about what I'm targeting for my race.
Easy jog. Half marathon is in five weeks, so I really can't excuse myself from running based on the weather anymore. :P it was dreadful today but I made it out there anyway. Gotta keep up the momentum!
last 5k race for awhile, whew! This was fun though; over 7000 runners/walkers, including people dressed as Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer, and even a polar bear.
After swimming like crazy in November, my goal of swimming 100 miles for the year is well in hand: total is 96.39 miles after this swim.
Big variety of strokes and speeds; a nice change from my usual alternating of free and back that I've been doing to squeeze in the most yardage per time lately.

No question, being in Washington DC for an event as historic as a Presidential Inauguration is a wonderful and memorable experience. But, there are a lot of things you need to know before embarking on the trip. Travel protection brand, Protect Your Bubble, shares tips for travelers heading to Washington DC this weekend.
1. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes District of Columbia is a fantastic city. Its covered with history, monuments, museums, gardens, Arlington Cemetery and more. So, be prepared to walk a lot. For those planning to watch the Presidential Inauguration, its going to be a long day of walking to the location, getting a place on the Mall, waiting for the ceremony, and once its complete, walking back to the Metro or ones hotel. Ensure that your shoes and clothes are broken-in, breathable, and comfortable.
2. Plan the route early Planning early will alleviate stress and make for an enjoyable day. Be sure to know where the nearest Metro stop is located and which stop you need to get off. There will be millions attending the Inauguration, so its advised to get started early. Leave plenty of time for walking and waiting for the Metro.
3. Establish a meeting place The reality is, when there are large crowds its easy for someone in a party to become separated and lost from their group. Before setting out for the day, establish a designated meeting place, should someone become lost. Make sure its a place thats easy to find and not over-crowded. Keep in mind that when large gatherings occur, many cell phone signals become lost, so having a meeting place assigned is a wise idea.
4. Avoid pick pocketing The sad reality is that its common for people to get pick pocketed in large crowds. Thieves know that many tourists will be in Washington D.C. this weekend, so take precautions. Do not keep your phone in your back pocket thats such an easy target for criminals. Keep it out of sight and under clothing, if possible. For women, make sure you keep your purse clutched close to you. Smartphone theft is on the rise in the U.S. Protect Your Bubble offers smartphone insurance which covers loss and theft, in addition to damage. Visit ProtectYourBubble.com for more information.

Game of Thrones S1E9 recap
Are you *sure* there's not another bridge? A boat, maybe ...
[Spoilers follow]
Summary: Ned faces another important decision: an honourable death, or a compromised life that might just save his daughters. Robb Stark wins his first big battle and gets a fabulous Lannister trophy for his effort. Tyrion gets to lead his own army of the Hill People into battle; Khal Drogo is still sick, but nobody suspects a guyliner overdose (except for me!)
Lord Ned gets a visit from Varys the Spider, who believes that Ned will be allowed to live out his time on the Wall if he confesses to treason, and as a special bonus, they might not bring him Sansa's head on a plate.
Robb is stuck at the Twins; the Stark army needs permission from Walder Frey to use his bridge ('the Crossing') to cross the Trident and intercept Jamie Lannister and his 35,000 troops. Lady Cat offers to negotiate the terms. (Hey, Frey! It's Argus Filch from Hogwarts, and he's kind of a grody slobbering perv.) Filch pledges 20,000 men, and will allow the Stark army to cross the river, in exchange for just a couple things: a Frey squire for Robb; a Frey son to marry Arya, and a Frey daughter to marry Robb. Yikes. (This is a great opportunity for an entrepreneur, say, a bridge builder or a boat builder - seriously, is there no free market economy in Westeros? Build a barge, and store it anywhere near the crossing; then ask for money instead of marriage ties to Filch. I bet you could get paid!)
Jon Snow saved Mormont from a zombie-wight-thing, and gets an awesome Mormont family heirloom sword as a reward. Jon faces his first crisis of honor - does he desert the Watch to help his brother Robb? Maester Aemon reveals that he was a Targaryen; and that he had to refuse the Iron Throne himself because of his vows. Suck it, Lord Snow.
Khal Drogo is sick, and falls from his horse, putting his leadership in jeopardy. Also detrimental to his street cred is the fact that sweat makes his eyeliner run! (A Khal who cannot apply eyeliner is no Khal!) Dany calls on the wicked black magic of Mirri Mas Durr to save Khal D. and we are treated to another gruesome horse execution brought to you by the good people at HBO. The black magic (or the fight with Khal D.'s bloodrider Qotho) sends Dany into premature labor, and the midwives refuse to help her.
Lord Tywin is going to send Tyrion forward with the vanguard - the front lines. Tyrion is upset about the fact that his dad is sending him to his doom, but is cheered by the camp follower waiting in his tent. Judging by her half-a-dress and remarkable accent, Shae puts the 'camp' in camp follower. In a drinking game with Bronn and Shae, Tyrion reveals that he used to be married and tells the story of Tysha. The next morning he calls the Hill People to arms and does well - go Tyrion! Of course, he gets knocked out by one of his own before the battle starts. The Lannisters win, but realize that Robb only sent 2000 men against Tyrion while the rest of the 20000 joined forces in a surprise attack against Jaime and his army. Lady Cat watches (sweet, proud-mom cries); and Robb takes Jaime prisoner.
Arya is catching pigeons in the city, trying to trade them for food. She gets caught up in the people running to see Lord Ned's trial at the Sept of Baelor. Lord Ned goes on stage at the Great Sept of Baelor, points Arya out to Yorin of the Watch. Then he gets up on stage and confesses to a bunch of outlandish treason in the hopes of preserving his family's safety. He announces that Joffrey is the rightful king; to ginormous smirks from Cersei and Joff. Cersei and Sansa have begged clemency; Joffrey puts that down to their weak girly girlishness, and demands Lord Ned's head. And gets it.
Holy Sept of Baelor, Batman! WTF? Who is the central character of this show, anyway? I love a show that surprises, and that doesn't pull any punches. And Lord Ned's death works on so many levels. He didn't win the game of thrones, and the tagline of the show isn't "You win or you go to the Wall." Plus, Lord Ned made lots of bad, dumb decisions; and he pays for it. But isn't it a bit early to let loose the moral center of the show? I guess, following all the different characters has created a solid-enough ensemble to carry it without Ned Stark ... it was still a super ballsy move. I hope this ends up being the Tyrion show.

Sky Ladder Scarf
In Chinese mythology, the sky ladder connects heaven and earth, enabling gods and humans to travel between the two. The "ladder" may take the form of a high mountain, mythical tree, tower, rainbow, or cobweb. Appropriately, our February project is a squooshy piece of heaven to knit in a variety of shapes—scarf, (petite/tall wrap)baby blanket, throw— from mountain-raised merino for lightweight warmth on chilly spring days. Natural yarn colors will enhance the finer details in the cable and lace textures throughout, while richly-dyed colorways will bring their openwork and depth into focus. With all shapes knit in one piece, the repeating motifs are surprisingly easy to work on larger needles, making for a relaxing and satisfying project to snuggle up with on winter evenings.
Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size and drape.

The big news in our industry from the U.S. Green Building Council at last week's Greenbuild Conference in Chicago was the official unveiling of the LEED for Retail and LEED Volume designations.
These programs have been in the works for years as retailers and developers have helped shape the guidelines. The programs will now make it much easier for retailers to gain LEED designations. The LEED for Retail sets up standards designed for the retail sector that take into account the way retail spaces are used and how they differ from other building types. Perhaps more importantly, the volume program will enable retailers to have a design concept certified and then every subsequent store built with those specs will automatically be LEED certified without having to redo the entire LEED process.
The LEED for Retail rating system recognizes the unique design and construction needs of this market sector, enabling forward-thinking retailers to integrate green building design, construction, and operation into ground-up construction, retail interior and build-out projects. Nearly 100 national and independent retailers and franchisees, including Bank of America, Best Buy, Chipotle, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Kohl's, LL Bean, McDonald's, Pizza Fusion, Starbucks and Target, have participated in the pilot program since its launch in 2007, providing valuable feedback to inform the rating system's development.In today's market, savvy retailers see the value in building designing and constructing environments that enhance the customer experience, nurture a more productive employee base, while saving precious resources,: said Scot Horst, Senior Vice President of LEED, USGBC. "LEED for Retail builds on the strengths of other commercial LEED rating systems while taking special care to address the distinct needs of retail spaces, from occupancy demands to waste streams, energy and water use."
Also launched at Greenbuild was the LEED Volume Program, a certification program that was created to streamline and make the LEED Certification process faster and more manageable for high-volume property developers such as national retailers, hospitality providers and local, state and federal governments. Utilizing a prototype-based approach, the program enables large-scale organizational builders to deliver a consistent end product, thereby earning LEED certification faster and at a lower cost than would be possible with individual building reviews.
"With a more cost-effective, streamlined process, the largest users of LEED are now able to make a larger impact on their building portfolio without compromising the technical rigor LEED has come to stand for," continued Horst. "This program enables us to move further faster to our goals of green buildings for all within a generation."
Our sister publication "Retail industry leaders recognize the powerful financial and environmental impact to be had through their sustainability activities," added Adam Siegel, vice president of sustainability & retail operations for RILA. "The increasing emphasis on building LEED is emblematic of the industry's expanding and ever-evolving sustainability efforts." The previously available LEED designations were never a great fit for retailers. So now having specifically designed designations for the sector should help speed the pace of the industry's adoption of green building standards, something that is increasingly important to both landlords and tenants according to an annual Green Building Survey conducted by NREI, the U.S. Green Building Council and Retail Traffic. It's also key because now developers and retailers each have their own set of guidelines to work against in gaining LEED certification. Developers can work with the existing programs for New Construction, Commercial Interiors, Core & Shell and Existing Buildings: Operation & Maintenance.

Product Info
You know a treat truly reigns supreme in the sour candy world when your eyes start watering the second you see the package. With some candy you never know really how sour it is going to be until you buy it.
You don't have this problem with Sour Patch Kids. You know as soon as you see that bright yellow package that your taste buds are going to be blasted with a bold sour flavor, but then they will be rewarded with a sweet, fruity finish. Frank Galatolie may have been chasing the sour fad when he developed Sour Patch Kids in the 1970s, but he truly ended up dominating the market with them.
Sour Patch Kids are soft, chewy, and sanded gently with a sweet and sour coating. Each of these individually wrapped bags contains an assortment of colored kids that represent a different flavor. This includes yellow (lemon), red (raspberry), green (lime), and orange (orange). These candies are fat-free, and they contain no gelatin, so they are suitable for vegetarians.

Bibby offers advice to former assistant
February 13th, 2013, 9:14 am by By RICH HAMMONDHenry Bibby is now in his second stint as Bob Cantu's mentor, albeit unofficially.
Bibby, who coached USC's basketball team from 1996-2004, is an assistant coach for the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies but is cheering for Cantu, his former assistant, to get his old job at USC.
Cantu is the Trojans' interim coach, with no promises that he will even get a formal job interview at the end of this season. Bibby has been in a very similar situation before, and has offered advice to Cantu.
''You have to know the pitfalls when you go into these situations,'' Bibby said.
Bibby, a three-time NCAA champion as a player at UCLA, had been a USC assistant coach for only nine months when Coach Charlie Parker got fired in Feb. 1996. The Trojans went 1-9 during the rest of that season under Bibby's watch, but Bibby got the full-time job in March and led USC to solid success.

Weekly challenge: Think about what brings you happiness, and how that's changed with age
I was happy to see that the U.S. ranks a respectable 17th out of 156 countries for happiest people on earth in a new ranking released by the United Nations. For all those doubters who think the results are skewed in favor of pleasure-seeking hedonistic folks—which America may have a lopsided percentage of—the pollsters defined happiness as life satisfaction, rather than how good a person feels at any given moment.
Life satisfaction was measured by having a healthy life expectancy, close friends or family members to provide support, perceived freedom to make life choices, generosity, and living in a society free of corruption.
Those can certainly increase your level of happiness, but this week you also may want to consider how your personal satisfaction—or dissatisfaction—with life has changed as you age. I read a great article in the September issue of Health magazine arguing that "calm is the new happy" for anyone over age 40.
"Happiness stopped being the high-energy, ecstatic experience of a wild night out with my friends and morphed into the more peaceful, relaxing experience of an overworked parent who dreams of putting her feet up and enjoying a good book," Heidi Grant Halvorson, a psychologist at Columbia University's Motivation Science Center, wrote in the piece.
She said the happiness metamorphosis is actually quite common and results from a shift in motivation that occurs as we head into middle-age. We move from being largely motivated by "promotion" or self-advancement to being motivated by "prevention" or a maintenance of whatever it takes to run our lives smoothly; we're looking to feel in control as well as financially and emotionally secure. It's what makes people finally settle down with the house in the 'burbs.
This week, take a few minutes to contemplate what brings you the most happiness in life. Are you motivated by promotion or prevention? Are you meeting the goals that promise to fulfill what you desire?

Luau Party Game Ideas
We went to the experts for luau party game ideas... the ones that actually play the games! They had some great ideas! Here are a few that can be adapted for any Luau Party, Beach Party, Pirate Party or just about any kind of party.
Hukilau Musical Chairs
Set up chairs or cushions in a circle, put in some
Hawaiian music
, show the kids the basic hula move and let the fun begin! The game is played by having one less chair or cushion than you have players. When the music stops, eliminate the standing player and remove another chair or cushion before the music starts again. The last player in the chair wins a prize!
Hawaiian Luau Scavenger Hunt
A few days before your party, come up with a list of items (Luau related) for your party guest to find. If you are wanting to keep your party-goers within the boundaries of your property, make sure the items can be found there. Using a
(pre-printed) or background(some software has tropical backgrounds available) available on your computer, print out several forms so that each group can have a list. Set a time limit or just let them go. The group that brings back all the items first wins and you can give them each a small prize or even print out forms that say that they won.
Luau Fishing Game
Find a stick, tie some string to the end and tie a magnet to the end of the string. Set up a small child's plastic pool or a bucket. Inside the bucket, you can place magnetized items or
luau favor
treat bags with small goodies inside with a magnet placed in the bag tie. The kids can them fish for treats!!
Hawaiian Makeover
Dress up your guest in their favorite island attire or have a tacky tourist contest!! If your budget is limited, you can purchase one
hula costume
and do a makeover (buy some inexpensive make-up kits for kids at your favorite discount store), dress each child up, one at a time, and do a photo of them as they model their new look. If you have a digital camera and printer, you can give them a copy to take home as a favor. You could even make a special area with your decorations for your photos to be taken at. You can also ask the kids or adults to dress up in their best "tacky tourist" concept and do photos of those with a small prize for the winners.
Have some great luau party games of your own?
Feel free to email your idea to
and we will list them on our site.

I love Snapper
Have been using my Snapper card for a few weeks now and I have to say I love it. Not every bus is accepting it yet but most of them are, and it really is easy – just swipe on and off.
What I really like is one can login to the Snapper website and see your transactions and account balance. You can also top the card up online wih the right interface. And it emails or texts you when your balance is low.
The 25% on bus fares is good, but could be better. In London for zone one you pay 1.50 pounds using the Oyster card on the tube and 4.00 pounds if cash. On a bus it is 90p vs 2.000 pounds. If you really want customers to start using Snapper, you need that sort of margin. Oyster also has a daily price cap over all forms of public transport.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Declaring "the time for excuses is over," President Barack Obama is trumpeting the economic benefits of an immigration overhaul, arguing that a bipartisan bill picking up steam in the Senate would put the nation's loathed deficits and fragile entitlements on better footing.
A recent analysis from the Congressional Budget Office, lawmakers' nonpartisan scorekeeper, was Exhibit A in Obama's weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. The report shows deficits would fall nearly $1 trillion over two decades after the bill becomes law.
What's more, Obama said, the influx of immigrant-driven investment, technology and businesses would give the economy a 5 percent shot in the arm.
"This bipartisan, common-sense bill will help the middle class grow our economy and shrink our deficits, by making sure that every worker in America plays by the same set of rules and pays taxes like everyone else," he said.
Confidence that the overhaul could pass the Senate by impressive margins is growing, and leaders scheduled a test vote on the bill for Monday, with a final vote expected by the end of next week. Although the heart of the bill is a 13-year pathway to citizenship for millions living in the United States illegally, it was a military-style surge to U.S.-Mexican border security, added this week to placate wary Republicans, that was credited for giving the bill a much-needed boost.
Obama didn't specifically address the border amendment Saturday, but he did note that the bill "would continue to strengthen security at our borders." Despite concerns from some Democrats that the security provisions — 20,000 new agents, 350 miles of new fencing, 18 new unmanned drones — are overkill, Obama spokesman Jay Carney said Friday it would constitute a "breakthrough" that the White House applauded.
"The bill isn't perfect. It's a compromise," Obama said, reprising a line he's used throughout the process when Democrats have complained the bill has become too conservative. "But it's consistent with the principles that I and others have laid out."
In the Republican address, Rep. John Kline of Minnesota says Obama must show leadership to avoid an impending hike on student loan interest rates. He said it's fortunate that Obama and House Republicans agree on the issue and have both proposed plans that would tie interest rates to the market. He accused Senate Democrats of blocking each plan.
"If I didn't know any better, I would say they are content to let rates double," Kline said. "This eleventh-hour scrambling is a perfect demonstration of why we need to take the politics out of student loans once and for all."

Investor Tax Heterogeneity and Ex-Dividend Day Trading Volume
We propose that ex-dividend day excess volume is motivated by tax heterogeneity among investors, and thus is increasing in investor tax heterogeneity. Institutional ownership is our measure of heterogeneity. Since investor heterogeneity is a concave function of institutional ownership, we hypothesize that ex-day volume is a concave function of institutional ownership. Cross-sectional tests support the tax-motivated trading hypothesis. Additional tests, using trade size and pension ownership as proxies for institutional trades, yield similar results. We contribute to the literature by considering the interaction between payout policy and ownership structure in explaining the cross-sectional variation in ex-day volume.

mauvebird: Ashlin, or maybe Cassie.
ursa-minor: Leona
I am 5'0" or 5'1" depending on who you ask, and I have dark blonde hair that goes to my collarbones but is usually tied up in a ponytail. I have gunmetal blue eyes and have only recently started to change my personality for the better and be more friendly. I love the bands Panic! At The Disco and Fall Out Boy, and most of my wardrobe consists of t-shirts and dark colorful jeans. I tend to go from happy and confident to depressed at the snap of a finger. I love photography and science and half of my life is spent on Tumblr and I should really knock that habit. I like the cold and get sick when it's really hot out.helena . cassian . forrest . lise

I tend to be nerdy, I love reading, especially name books and Jane Austen, and I have a deep love of Shakespeare. I'm fairly tall, but curvy. I love anything romantic, and I've always wanted kids, ever since I was about 2. I like unusual names, or softer sounding names, nothing too 'in your face'. I tend to be a bit sensitive, but I always stand up for what I believe in. I'm also boy crazy - and I tend to fall for guys with British accents and blue eyes, and I love boybands.dreaming of a little Kennedy Juliette or Aaron Jacob one day...

So I'm 5'6" and have very short dark hair and brown eyes. I wear glasses and have a propensity for mismatched socks. I live in jeans and t-shirts, most of which have amusing sayings or superhero logos on them. I adore reading and go through a dozen or more books a week. I'm a self-described nerd and have a wicked sense of humor. I love being around kids and want to be a child psychologist one day. Um, I skipped my junior year of high school to go to college earlier, I did tech for marching band, and I watch way too much tv. My favorite shows are anything by Joss Whedon, Castle, and Phineas and Ferb. Also, I love platypuses and ducks. (especially ducks)Teenberry and writer

Written by Gregg Brekke
The proposal to institute a town hall meeting on justice issues one day before each General Synod was postponed indefinitely when it came to the plenary floor Tuesday afternoon with its committee recommending no action.
The resolution was brought by the Pacific Islander and Asian American Ministries, and Ron Fujiyoshi of the Hawaii Conference urged the committee to support a biennial gathering of justice advocates who would create a two-year justice platform for the UCC.
However, the committee had problems reconciling the wording of the resolution with the goals Fujiyoshi presented. Tuesday morning Margaret Irribarra of the Pacific Northwest Conference, the committee chair, summarized the group's thinking in voting to take no action. "We were in favor with what we were hearing but not what we were reading (in the resolution)."
"We didn't hear the covenantal connections between the groups (PAAM and Justice and Witness Ministries) for an idea that we agree is useful," another delegate said.
John Gregory-Davis of JWM observed that Justice and Witness "sees themselves as already moving in that direction."
Fujiyoshi said he was sanguine about the committee's decision but "if we're not focusing on the justice agenda, it won't happen. I want the UCC to continue to be the Just Church."

The Ford Motor Co. Fund will award a $1 million grant for scholarships commemorating William Clay Ford's contributions to the automaker's design legacy.
The scholarship program was announced Friday.
Five college sophomores or juniors pursuing degrees in automotive design each will receive $10,000 per year. The fund is committing $50,000 per year over 20 years.
William Clay Ford died Sunday of pneumonia at his Grosse Pointe home at age 88. He was a grandson of automotive pioneer Henry Ford and owned the Detroit Lions.
He spent 57 years as an employee and board member of the Dearborn-based automaker, also serving 32 years as chair of Ford's design committee.
Ford was 23 when he joined the company's board of directors in 1948. He remained a company director until 2005.
