WASHINGTON – Chris Kearney was named the Landmark Conference Men's Basketball Senior Scholar Athlete of the Year on Thursday. Kearney, who helped lead CUA to its first-ever Landmark title and first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007 this season, was named an All-American by three outlets, including First Team honors from the NABC.
In addition to the NABC, D3Hoops.com and DIII News named Kearney an All-American. The Mid-Atlantic Player of the Year, Kearney became the first player in Landmark Conference history to be named the Player and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season in 2012-13.
The 10th All-American in the 102-year history of CUA Basketball, Kearney earned First Team All-Region and All-Conference recognition, in addition to being named an ECAC All-Star.
Kearney led CUA in scoring (16.7) and rebounding (7.0) this season, while helping to carry the Cards to a top-10 national ranking. Kearney shot 53.1 percent from the field and blocked 2 shots per game. The 6-7 post player ranked in the top 10 of five statistical categories within the Landmark, including scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage, blocks and minutes.
A native of Virginia, Kearney was named to the D3Hoops.com Team of the Week on two occasions, in addition to being the Landmark Player of the Week twice. He was also selected to the NABC Reese's Division III College All-Star Game, which took place on March 23.
Kearney scored in double figures 25 times this season, topping out with a career-high 32 points in a win over Scranton on January 19. He then dropped another 30 points at Scranton on February 9.
The third leading shot blocker in school history, Kearney posted eight double-digit rebound games this season, with a high of 15 at Merchant Marine Academy on January 26. That same day, the CUA tri-captain scored the 1,000th point of his career.
A finalist for the prestigious Jostens Trophy, which is presented annually to the top male and female basketball student-athlete in Division III, Kearney carries over a 3.5 grade point average in the classroom as a business management major.
He is a multi-year member of the Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll and was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team this season.

On Thursday, President Obama will make his way to Wall Street to lecture the financial industry and push for passage of the Democrat reform bill. Some might say that this is arrogant or hypocritical. As I have been writing the past few articles, a number of key members of the Obama administration have ties to Goldman Sachs. But, perhaps the most interesting member of the President's staff who has a direct connection to the whole mortgage bubble and shady derivatives market is none other than his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. As we shall see, Rahm is not the sort who would let a good crisis go to waste, even if it must be created?
A number of articles have appeared recently from such sources as Jane Tavakoli of the Huffington Post and Naked Capitalism which deal with a Chicago-based hedge fund company called Magnetar. Some of the articles base their information from a piece at Pro Publica. While their article does provide many useful details on Magnetar and it's involvement in the housing-derivative bubble, one does need to keep in mind that Pro Publica is sponsored by Herbert and Marion Sandler, those crazy 'kids' who once owned Golden West Financial before dumping their company to Wachovia in 2006, along with some $122 Billion is subprime mortgage trash, walking away smiling with over $24 Billion in their pockets. So, for them to solely blame Magnetar for everything is a bit of a stretch, but Magnetar certainly did play a key role.
In 2005, Alec Litowitz, formerly of Citadel hedge fund, started his own firm, Magnetar. An astronomy buff, most of the products he sold were named after constellations. By 2005, the housing bubble was bad enough that most banks and hedge funds were winding down their sales of mortgage-backed CDO (collateral debt obligations). Magnetar entered the market with a flurry of CDO deals. In two short years, they jumped from about $1.7 Billion to over $17 Billion dollars worth of them, accounting for between 1/3 to more than half of all mortgage-backed CDO products created. One could argue that without Magnetar, the subprime bubble might have popped sooner and with less 'pop'.
Litowitz was a major contributor to Democrats, including John Kerry's 2004 presidential run. From 2006 forward, the Magnetar CEO contributed ONLY to PACs that Rahm Emanuel was involved with. Tens of thousands of dollars flowed from Litowitz to Emanuel during that period. Rahm, as it turned out, had many supporters in the financial industry. One report places Rahm at the top of the list for contributions from hedge funds and investment banks, even beating out many Senators and the top 11 Republican Congressman combined! Rahm, himself, did quite nicely during his years at Freddie Mac following his stint in the Clinton administration.
So, if President Obama really wants to reform the financial markets and Wall Street, he might want to start with his own Chief of Staff. As it is, the Obama administration has already blocked a Freedom of Information Act request for Rahm Emanuel's activities while at Freddie Mac. Obama might even want to direct the SEC or Justice Department to take a look at Magnetar? But then, that might not go over too well with his pals back in Chicago, will it? The mortgage bubble and the financial crisis it caused has many fingerprints on it. Let's just make sure we get them all and not just those of one scapegoat.

text: What Do You Think of Red Light Cameras?Jonny Lieberman12/07/07 1:15pmFiled to: Question of the Day114EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkRecently my friend Brian got a letter in the mail. It said Dear Chuck D. We're suckers. Sincerely, the Government that he ran a red light and the city of Los Angeles needs $371 from him. What are the opposites of happy, calm and peaceful? Stompin', honkin', homicidally angry? That's my friend. I know the justification behind the bilking is safety, but having a whole city populated with pissed off angry people, well, that can't be good for safety. Also, an amphibious mammal, within city limits, that's not legal either. My point is, as I'm actually biting my tongue here and not saying how I really feel about red light cams (think Kinison talking about marriage), I invite all of you to not hold back. Well?

October Favourites 2009
Anyway onto my October Favourites. Ive been loving soo many products this month, but I decided to just pick out a select few, otherwise I'd be here all night ha. Ooops just noticed I numbered one product twice, so ignore that ladies, there is 8 products not 9, silly me.
1. Marc Jacobs Lola - I simply adore this! I'm so glad I bought it. The scent lingers on me for so long. I think its took over Dior Addict as being my favourite scent.
2. N-SPA Vanilla Shower and Bath Gel - This stuff is amazing! Its smells so divine. I use it as bubble bath and the smell fills the whole bathroom and even travels down the stairs. I also use another N-SPA product in vanilla which is a body scrub, I literally smell good enough to eat!
3. Lee Stafford Shine Head - I bought this trail size version a couple of weeks ago and I'm so pleased with it, Ill be buying the full size version as soon as this ones run out. It does exactly what it says on the tin and really does give my hair a really nice sexy shine.
4. Soap and Glory Super Eyes - I really like this product. I'm quite fussy with my eye gels and creams, but this has worked so well for me, as good as my other favourite which is Clinique All About Eyes. Its really fast absorbing and leaves no stickiness, so its perfect for applying in the morning, before I apply my make up.
5. Boots 17 Instant Glow Bronzer in Light - This is the perfect bronzer for me, I use it with a Kabuki brush and literally just applying it all over my face, it just gives me such a nice subtle hint of colour. Its not fake looking and just applies to my skin so well. Its so cheap aswell, under £3 I think. I'm not far off hitting pan on it, so guaranteed Ill be buying another one.
6. Rimmel Blush in Pink Rose - Ive been using this colour nearly all month long, and I really do love it. It gives me the perfect glow to my cheeks, so natural looking.
7. Nars Mekong - Well I recently posted about this after waiting for so long to get it, then I finally did and I'm not disappointed one bit. Its amazing! So gorgeous.
8. Barbara Daly Light Illusion Powder Highlighter - Ive been using this virtually non stop since I bought it. Its a really really light shimmery pink colour and is the perfect highlighter for me to highlight my cheekbones.
Have you ladies tried any of my favourites?
11 comments :

Hello everybody, I have a question about documenting the code with doxygen, and I really don't know that to whom I should ask it. Since I'm doing the same thing as the Max SDK commentaries, I hope that somebody here might answer (sorry if it is slightly off topic).
I followed the doxygen-comments of the cycling .h files, with @ingroup at the beginning, and some code inside the remarks (see example at bottom). But this is very badly interpreted, and the parameters are let as plain text "@param …" inside a box. I really don't know why it happens, and it appears to me that I do the same thing. Is there some parameter to be changed in the doxygen config file? Or what is wrong with my comment?
Thanks a lot, Daniele
And here's an example of badly interpreted commentary (it is right before the function prototype).
/** Fill an array of type char with a list of values. @ingroup math @param a The pointer to the first element of the array. @param count The number of elements to fill
@remark must be < = of the size of the array! @remark This is just a little wrapper to avoid using multiple lines to set each single element of the array. For instance the following code fills the array with 6 values: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Functions fill_long_array(), fill_unicodeChar_array() and fill_double_array() operate in the same way. @code char myarray[6]; fill_char_array(myarray, 6, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); @endcode */

Published by Houghton Mifflin Books
Maddie lives in a world where everything is done on the computer. Whether it's to go to school or on a date, people don't venture out of their home. There's really no need. For the most part, Maddie's okay with the solitary, digital life—until she meets Justin. Justin likes being with people. He enjoys the physical closeness of face-to-face interactions. People aren't meant to be alone, he tells her.
Suddenly, Maddie feels something awakening inside her—a feeling that maybe there is a different, better way to live. But with society and her parents telling her otherwise, Maddie is going to have to learn to stand up for herself if she wants to change the path her life is taking.
In this not-so-brave new world, two young people struggle to carve out their own space.
At the start of the book you met Maddie as she makes a rare venture out of house into the big wide world to attend a study group. Her parents, well her father in particular come across as very controlling not wanting her to attend what we today would see as an ordinary and everyday thing. It is there she meets Justin which is where the story really starts from. Justin doesn't like all the technology invading his day to day life and opens Maddie's eyes to the world without technology.
I will not go into detail about the plot of the story in too much detail but I did love several things about it. I loved the relationship that was built up between Justin and Maddie as the story went on. I love Maddie as a character and enjoyed seeing how she developed as the story went on. The whole anti-digital school movement was well done and was actually quite insightful in how the book portrayed the use of government sponsored propaganda in influencing the masses.
All in all an excellent debut with insightful ideas, awesome characters and a pacey plot which I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to others.

ATLANTA (AP) — The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) could lead to coverage changes in 2014 for as many as 400,000 Georgia residents who own individual health insurance policies, state Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens said Wednesday.
Hudgens spokesman Glenn Allen said the figures were based on internal estimates.
Insurance regulators aren't sure how many policies will be canceled outright, and how many will be protected from significant changes because they are "grandfathered in."
Insurers could keep other policies in force but change the policy terms or premiums, officials said.
Hudgens has been a strong critic of PPACA.

These aren't actually easy fruit tarts two ways. They're one way–two different kinds of fruit. I was inspired to make these after seeing a recipe for apricot tarts in Donna Hay's Fast, Fresh, Simple, one of my latest cookbook acquisitions. I like Donna's creative and simple recipes, but I tend to buy her books for the photos. She is an amazing food stylist and she uses some of the world's most amazing photographers. This book is shot by William Meppem, whose beautifully lit and composed food photos are an inspiration.
There is a photo to accompany every recipe–something that I've always appreciated in a cookbook. First, because I was a novice who always wanted to know what something was supposed to look like, and now because I study food photography as a way to learn to capture such images myself. As with many things, I'm learning that the simplest things look deceptively easy but are far from so.
These tarts are the opposite of that. They look stunning, and elegant, like you spent all day in the kitchen, when they actually just take a few minutes if you have some frozen puff pastry on hand. You need 225 grams to make six tarts. I bought a sheet of all butter puff pastry and used half, keeping the rest in the freezer for another time. I plan on doing a post on a variety of savoury tarts for spring, so stay tuned.
To make these lovelies, you need a can of apricots, drained and rinsed and patted dry with paper towel so as not to make the puff pastry soggy with its juices. Each strawberry tart requires one strawberry, hulled and cut into four slices. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured board so it forms a rectangle wide enough to cut into six smaller rectangles. For the apricot tarts, spread each tart with a tablespoon of apricot jam, and then sprinkle over top a tablespoon of almond meal. Almond meal is basically ground almonds. I love the one by Bob's Red Mill, but you can also just grind some almonds in a coffee grinder if you have them. Top each tart with three apricot halves and sprinkle with sugar. For the strawberry tarts, use strawberry jam and repeat the method.
I bake mine at 400F for about fifteen minutes. Basically, until the pastry is puffed and golden. Serve with ice cream or whip cream.
See. Easy peasy.

Rinaldo Alessandrini (Harpsichord, Conductor)
Born: 1960 - Rome, Italy
The Italian conductor and harpsichordist, Rinaldo Alessandrini, studied music including serious research in Italian music from 1550 to 1750. After finishing his studies, Rinaldo Alessandrini embarked on his career as a harpsichordist, both as a soloist and as continuo player/leader of Concerto Italiano, a vocal and instrumental ensemble he founded. During the 1980's and 1990's Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano established themselves as the leading ensemble for Italian Baroque music from the music's home country. Alessandrini believes that, regardless of musical era, there is a set of "essential, but often elusive, expressive and cantabile elements of fundamental to Italian music." His aim is to find those qualities in music of the Italian Baroque period, which he regards "the most fertile and innovative in all Italian music." Rinaldo Alessandrini and Concerto Italiano have toured extensively in Europe, including many of the major musical festivals, especially the ones with interest in the era. He and the ensemble record for various labels and have won awards such as the Cini Foundation Vivaldi Prize, the Choc de la Musique, Grand Prix de la Nouvelle Académie du Disque, the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis, the Diapason d'Or (in three successive years), the Cecilia Prize, the Gramophone Award, the BBC Music Magazine Prize, and the Grand Prix de l'Academie Charles Cros. Rinaldo Alessandrini also conducts Italian Baroque opera widely. His is considered one of the world's leading specialists in the operas of Monteverdi, and also revives lesser-known Italian opera composers such as Cavalli and Vinci. He includes the Italian operas of George Frideric Handel in his conducting repertoire, and he and Concerto Italiano have recorded harpsichord concertos of J.S. Bach. These Gramophone Award-nominated performances are hailed for paying special attention to the direct Italian inspiration for the concertos. Other acclaimed CD's include his two volumes of One Hundred Fifty Years of Italian Music, featuring harpsichord music on the first disc and organ music on the second.

Yeah, it was my first build and I learned a lot through the building process. I'm excited about glassing. I've heard the west system is good but rock hard when it comes to sanding. Any thoughts?
If you've built a kayak you should be able to make a board pretty easily. Go light with your wood. I used 1/2" poplar in the frame and you can tell when you pick it up. I'm going for lightweight, cheaper materials next time.

2008-2013 Cadillac CTS General Discussion Discussion, 2008 CTS CEL on, code P2601 - HELP! in Cadillac CTS Second Generation Forum - 2008-2013; ...
2008 CTS CEL on, code P2601 - HELP!
CEL is lit on our 2008 CTS AWD DI. Code is P2601 coolant pump ctrl range/perf.
The aux water pump was bad (seized up, board burnt). I replaced it and confirmed it is working (heard/felt it running after the car was shut off).
Reset the CEL, it stays off for 3 days, comes back on. Found a bulletin that described the issue with a software update:
"2008 CTS Check Engine Light, P2601/P2610
Some 2008 CTS and STS models with the 3.6L Direct Injection engine have had the check engine light come on with diagnostic trouble codes p2601 or 2610 stored in the ECM. GM has issued a software upgrade that may eliminate this condition. Your dealer has access to service bulletin #07-06-04-024 which outlines the procedure for upgrading the software in the ECM. In the case of diagnostic trouble code P2601, your dealer should first check the operation of the auxiliary coolant pump, and if no problems are found, the software upgrade can then be implemented."
Had the local dealership run the update/reset the light (out of warranty, but they discounted the labor to about $70).
Three days later the light is back on again.
any advice?
thanks in advance!

Re: 2008 CTS CEL on, code P2601 - HELP!
Ugh!! Just wondering, did you buy the replacement part from Cadillac? If so, I would take your car back there and have them re-check the system. If you bought it elsewhere, I'd take it back off and return it, buy a replacement from Cadillac and then take the car back for them to re-check it.
Sounds like a pain in the arse! Good Luck, Marv - 06-21-13 04:26 PM #3
Re: 2008 CTS CEL on, code P2601 - HELP!
thanks for the suggestion. the pump was a genuine (new) AC Delco pump (the same one the dealership sells) that I purchased online (amazon).

Info for you from the service manual:
2008 Cadillac CTS | CTS VIN D Service Manual
After Boil Coolant Pump Malfunction
Diagnostic Instructions
•Perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
•Review Strategy Based Diagnosis for an overview of the diagnostic approach.
•Diagnostic Procedure Instructions provide an overview of each diagnostic category.
Circuit/System Description
The auxiliary coolant pump and cooling fan system provides a measure of prevention against fuel vaporization due to excessive engine temperatures. The engine control module (ECM) commands the auxiliary or after boil coolant pump ON when the engine coolant temperature exceeds a calibrated value after engine shut down. The ECM applies ground to the coil side of the auxiliary pump relay. This energizes the coil and applies voltage directly to the pump motor through the switch side of the relay. When the auxiliary coolant pump is activated, coolant is drawn from radiator and pumped into the engine through a tee in the engine coolant inlet pipe. As the colder temperature coolant is drawn into the engine warmer coolant is expelled from the engine and back to the radiator. Removing high temperature coolant from the engine after shut down helps prevent vaporization of the fuel that remains in the fuel injectors and fuel rail during a hot soak.
Diagnostic Aids
•The auxiliary coolant or after boil pump relay may be referred to as "ENG PUMP" or "FUEL COOL" on the underhood electrical center (UBEC) cover label.
•Low coolant level in the radiator may set DTC P2601.

Description and Operation
Cooling System Description and Operation
Scan Tool Reference
Control Module References for scan tool information
Circuit/System Verification
1. Verify that DTC P2600, P2602 or P2603 is not set.
⇒ If any of the DTCs are set, repair the DTC first. Refer to DTC P2600-P2603.
2. Ignition ON, command the auxiliary coolant pump relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. Verify that the pump turns ON and OFF when changing between the commanded states.
⇒ If the auxiliary coolant pump does not activate, refer to After Boil Coolant Pump Inoperative.
⇒ If the auxiliary coolant pump is always ON, refer to After Boil Coolant Pump Always On.
3. Observe the engine coolant level. The engine coolant level should be within the operating range, refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling.
⇒ If the coolant level is not within the operating range, refer to Loss of Coolant for further diagnosis.
4. Inspect the cooling system for the following:
◦Blockage or restriction in the auxiliary coolant pump lines and hoses
◦Blockage or restriction in the auxiliary coolant pump passages
5. If the cooling system tests normal, test or replace the auxiliary coolant pump.
Repair Instructions
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
•Auxiliary Water Pump Replacement
•Auxiliary Water Pump Inlet Hose Replacement
•Auxiliary Water Pump Outlet Hose Replacement
2008 Cadillac CTS | CTS VIN D Service Manual | Document ID: 1556771
Diagnostic Repair Verification
Note: After a repair has been made, some DTCs require the ignition to be turned OFF then back ON before the scan tool function will clear the DTC.
1. Ignition OFF.
2. Install any components or connectors that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.
3. Perform any adjustment, programming or setup procedures that are required when a component or module is removed or replaced.
4. Ignition ON.
5. Clear the DTCs.
6. Turn the ignition OFF for 60 seconds.
7. If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in order to verify the DTC does not set. If the DTC sets or another DTC is present, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle and perform the appropriate diagnostic procedure.
If the repair was symptom related, duplicate the conditions under which the customer concern occurred to verify the repair. If the customer concern reoccurs or another symptom is present, return to Symptoms - Vehicle and perform the appropriate symptom diagnostic.

Hi Just searched and couldn't find a topic like this so thought I would start one.
If you upload to your skydrive you can then go and get a public link to put in here.
I just found this by mistake a little while ago in Battlefield 4 single player.
I basically found a strange patch of land that should have had water on it then it all went weird.
It basically seems to be an outside map glitch.

Television audiences have loved David Letterman for years, and it sounds like his staff is smitten with the comedian, too. Vanity Fair writes that the adoration Letterman's crew has for him is "like a cult."
This "cult" like following is being spotlighted as editor Mark Seal writes of the vibe around the 'The Late Show with David Letterman' set following last year's tabloid scandal involving an alleged extortion attempt and Letterman admitting to having had multiple affairs with his female staff.
Seal spoke to Matt Lauer on 'The Today Show' and talked of Letterman staffers telling of an "almost Bill Clinton-like charisma" about their boss. "People want to be around him. People want to be close to him," Seal said.
Another former female employee admitted to watching the show, nearly 18 years after leaving, and hoping Letterman still likes her.
With a trial date in the alleged extortion case expected to be announced soon, word from a 'Late Show' executive producer that Letterman is willing to testify in court is certain to keep things interesting once proceedings get under way.

Concern is mounting in the Legislature over news that the Florida Department of Corrections let two convicted murderers go free based on what the agency says were fraudulent documents that passed through the county clerk's office in Orlando to prison officials.
Inmates Charles Walker and Joseph Jenkins, serving lengthy sentences for separate murders in Orlando more than a decade ago, were recently released from Franklin C.I. in Carrabelle. Both men, both age 34, are still at large and considered dangerous by Orange County law enforcement officials. Documents reportedly forged the signature of a prominent Orlando-area judge, Belvin Perry.
Gov. Rick Scott has not made a public statement about the case. Scott, who is up for re-election in 2014, frequently points with pride to the decline in Florida's crime rate.
Sen. Rob Bradley, R-Fleming Island, chairman of the Senate budget committee overseeing prisons, said he would demand that the Senate receive a "full understanding of how something like this could happen." But he said that must wait until after the two inmates are captured. "Now is not the time for that," Bradley said.
Rep. Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, was not quite as reticent and issued a statement that called for the House to hold hearings on the incident in the coming weeks.
"This is unconscionable, almost unthinkable ," Rouson said. "People have faith in government that it will keep the peace and justice. If these two convicted murderers were let go by the Florida Department of Corrections, something must change." Rouson is the ranking Democrat on the House appropriations panel that controls the prison system's budget.
Corrections Secretary Mike Crews issued a statement Thursday saying that his agency followed its policies properly, but that the documents had been falsified. If the inmates aren't captured quickly, Crews will have a lot of explaining to do in the Capitol. He enjoys cordial relations with lawmakers and makes himself accessible to them (Bradley said Crews telephoned him Thursday to explain how the two inmates went free). The prisons chief has been grappling with a persistent budget deficit in his agency and lawmakers are increasingly impatient that the agency has not yet switched to a more modern electronic time and attendance system for its 20,000-or-so employees.

Wow they really sound that good with metal and rock? I was kinda worried as these seem to be perfect for me with the clarity and soundstage but my fear was the lack in rock-department. Have you amped them? Do you think it would be a good option for adding bass?
Can't wait to get my Q701 and amp which will arrive 2 weeks later[ ;( ]. :D I'm coming from K501 so I'm not expecting anything spectacular in the improvement-section but still expecting something awesome. I will let you know once I get 'em!
These headphones are gonna work well with any genre. I think its quite misleading to say that headphones don't work well with a particular genre because of some particular trait. It's more so about what YOU want your headphones to sound like. I only say this because the bulk of my music is hip-hop and any headphone without big bass its described around here as "not for hip hop", which is wrong. I want my music to be true to source, so i went with these Q701's and a transparent amp i knew could drive them well. If i'm in the mood for a bass heavy sound, i switch headphones... I'd say the second most music in my collection is Metal/Nu-Metal/Rock, so i agree that these headphones sound great with those genres aswell.
Sorry to vent, i just feel like alot of opinions can be judgemental based on your music taste, rather then the type of sound you're looking for.

Hello Trekkies! I'm Antonio. I watched DS9 until the end for the third (or fourth?)time through syndication on Space Canada this summer. And I finally decided that I missed the series enough that I read Andrew Robinson's A Stitch in Time. I loved it, and decided to dive into the DS9 relaunch novels. I've already read the Avatar Duology, and Abyss. I haven't been able to find ANY of these books in stock, so I've been getting them as Ebooks for my Kobo. My problem is, according to the reading order I found online, the next title in order is "Divided we Fall," a four part miniseries comic book series. AFAIK, I can't download comics anywhere online. My Question (without spoilers, please): if I skip the comics, and go straight to the next novel, am I going to miss anything significant in the grand story arc of the relaunch? Should I wait until I can order them, or go on to the next novel? Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions! I will hopefully have more insightful posts in here in the future!
The books are written with the understanding that not everyone who reads them will be familiar with the comics. So while there is some continuity with a couple of comics stories, you won't have any trouble following the novels' narrative if you don't read the comics. The writers aren't deliberately trying to confuse or exclude people. The goal is to write every book so you can understand it as a self-contained work, regardless of what other works it may refer to.
Nah, you won't miss anything too important. Tiris Jast from Avatar book one first appeared in the N-Vector comic, and the civil unrest mentioned in WoDS9: Trill was established in the Divided We Fall comic, but the comics don't really add more than that to the novels.
Thanks guys! In that case, since I already asked my local comic book shop to look into ordering them, I'll go ahead and start Demons of Air and Darkness, and go back to the comic miniseries should I be able to find those. Much appreciated!
Yeah. I've read the entire DS9 Relaunch in novel form, but none of the comics, and didn't feel like I was missing anything and everything still flowed quite nicely.
Divided We Fall was never collected Trade Paperback format (except in German), so you will need to track down the individual issues. They are well worth the hunt as they were co-written by Trek novelist and BBS poster David Mack.
Well, you already missed reading "n-Vector", a DS9 comic mini-series that introduced the Bolian female, Tirus Jast, prior to her involvement with "Avatar" Book 1! IDW does downloadable comics, but for previous ST comic publishers you need the "Star Trek: The Complete Comic Book Collection") DVD-ROM (excluding only the "X-Men" crossovers) from gitcorp. Just recently, people were saying it's still available from online sellers.
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Symbiose-John-Ordover/dp/3897485664 There was another translation, too: "Divide y vencerás" (Spanish). See Mark Martinez's site: http://www.startrekcomics.info/wildstormtngtpb.html
I highly recommend getting the Star Trek Complete Comic Collection DVD. It's got the DS9 relaunch comics as well as almost everything else ever. I got mine from an Amazon seller.
Yeah, it's an awesome collection. My wife picked it up for me for this past Christmas. Amazon is still selling it new for less than $14 and free shipping on orders $25 & over. Check it out. - Byron http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Com...KYR2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1312914883&sr=8-1
Thanks all. I'm gonna wait to hear back from my Comic book guy, but if that doesn't pan out, amma definitely look for the DVD. What format are they in, out of curiosity? JPGs? PDFs? Or some sort or proprietary thing I need to view on the disc?
Honestly, the disc itself is pretty primitive, but the content more than makes up for that. That reminds me, I really need to pop that thing in and read some more Trek comics.
I found my comics DVD at Chapters in the bargain section for about $5... couldn't pass it up at that price! Hey, antonio107, you're at the SDMB too, aren't you? I posted a few times in your thread there. Glad to hear the relaunch is coming along!

Without the benefit of scuba diving classes and a collection of rented equipment, most children will not grow to see the coral reefs of the world in person. Brought vividly to life in the imaginations of children through the major animated film Finding Nemo and the short, live action segments that make up "Come See the Sea" on children's television programming, the coral reefs of the world serve as a sticky point of interest to delve into the life cycles of the creatures who make this fascinating ecosystem their home.
In Coral Reef – part of the One Small Square series for six to nine-year-old children, an in-depth, vividly illustrated journey travels through a small portion of the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia. Focusing in on an three-dimensional section of reef measuring four feet to a side and extending down in a rectangular column roughly twice that in length, series author Donald M. Silver guides young readers through the intricacies of reef flora, fauna, reproduction, nocturnal creatures, inter-species cooperation and many other fascinating features of this vibrant ecosystem.
With such a treasure of interesting animals and plants to work with, Silver unearths a plethora of fascinating trivia, facts, and foundational premises for life in the reef. From fish that cover themselves with slime at night to mask their aroma, to those who masquerade as friendly helpers in order to steal a bit of flesh, a wealth of memorable encounters are brought vividly to life through the visual pictures crafted through a vivid use of descriptive prose.
In Silver's trademark style the dangers in currents around reefs for divers is briefly pointed out, as well as some short safety tips. Although Silver realizes that children aren't likely to be making a hands-on exploration of the reef themselves, the series-wide emphasis on appropriate safety precautions makes its presence known in this title as well.
Due to the improbability of children exploring reefs in diving equipment Silver has substituted hands-on observational activities and experiments that illustrate the scientific concepts explored from the perspective of reef life. For example, after the observation of nocturnal reef life through the pages of Coral Reef, Silver encourages children to record their own findings regarding nocturnal plant and animal life in their own backyards. Instructions for a simple reef diorama, building a reef with Lego, observing the grooming habits of domestic animals and many other educational activities are also provided to turn the book into a multi-sensory educational experience.
Patrica J. Wynne's incredibly detailed illustrations draw children into the exotic world of the reef – filled with colour, motion, and incredible complexities. Her work is realistic and stands out as the work of a truly talented artist in the school of natural observation. Though created for children, her elaborate reconstructions of reef life on the page can compare favorably with the work of any other naturalist.
Our entire family, young and old, admired the artwork; my three-year-old was particularly taken in by the visual glossary of each creature mentioned in the text at the back of the book. We read the book in bite-sized chunks – though written in a form more narrative than textbook, there is still a great deal of information to be digested.
Whether your child's interest in reefs has been sparked by a famous film or visit to the fish section of a local pet store; whether you are preparing for a visit to a public aquarium that feature displays which recreate life in the reef or planning a unit study on coral reefs. No matter how you approach it, Coral Reef is sure to fascinate.

I was sick daily.' Most of the time without warning and no control over vomiting.' I constantly felt like something was wrong with the pregnancy.' Being that it was my first time I had no idea what but, I found myself in the office of our midwife almost weekly.' They would check the babys heartbeat and tell me everything was ok and send me on my way.
We had decided to do the additional testing for Downs syndrome at the week 20 check up / ultra sound.' Again everything came back normal. however they were concerned about the babys small growth.
On April 27th, (week 22) the day went on as normal.' I worked, went home and ran through our normal routine.' Shortly after we went to bed I started to get a sharp pain in my stomach.' Not wanting to bother with my doctor I called the nurse line.' They of course encourage you to call your doctor immediately.' My midwife asked a series of questions and because I could not decide exactly where the pain was located she thought I had just eaten something bad.' At one point my husband looked at me and said your lips look big.' I of course heard nothing of it.' I even looked in the mirror and saw no difference so I went back to bed.' The pain continued.' I called my midwife again.' She said my only other option was to go to the emergency room so they could have a look.' By this time in my pregnancy I had been to the emergency room twice.' I was not interested in going again if nothing was wrong.' We waited a couple of more hours but, the pain worsened.' At one point I was not able to stand up straight.' That is when my husband put his foot down and took me in.
We arrived at the hospital and they ran their battery of tests.' Within minutes a nurse was back in the room and said we are going to keep you for a while and your doctor is on her way in. The nurse had no other details. Shortly after that our doctor was in and she had said something was wrong.' Several of my test results were off the charts and being that she was a midwife she could not longer provide me the medical care, due to the extreme change in my pregnancy.' She encouraged us to contact a close family member because we were being transferred to another hospital.' We called my mom and she immediately took the phone and stepped out into the hall way.' A few seconds later she came back in the room and told my husband where we were going.' She let us know that I would need to be airlifted because they were concerned if I went by ambulance I would not survive the hour trip.' Still we had no idea what is going on.' When the helicopter arrived she grabbed my hand and said, you have elevated blood pressure and protein in your urine. They are going to have to take your baby.' She said there is a chance you may not survive the delivery.' I dont think the information had even hit us as my husband had to take off by car to get to the next hospital before me.
Arriving at the next hospital several specialists were in the room sharing information with us on my condition.' I didnt understand any of it.' I was against letting the baby die.' I begged my husband, parents and doctors to let me fight for a week or two more and he could raise the child.' The doctor stopped me in mid sentence and said your child will not survive delivery and there is a chance you may not either.' But we know you will not survive past the weekend if we dont deliver your baby.
Several hours later I give birth to a beautiful baby girl Eva Ixchel Tobon (pronounced Ava).' She was 13 oz.' and perfect.
Several weeks later at our follow up consultation we are told I am high risk for future pregnancies.' I had survived a disease called Preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome.' It was an extreme case because it progressed rapidly and I was lucky to survive. They also informed us it was likely that I would have this awful disease again in future pregnancies.
In 2008 my husband and I decide we are ready to try for another baby.' The pregnancy was again normal the first couple of months.' Shortly after the third month I again began to throw up daily.' My feet swelled and I was uncomfortable.' Because we were able to plan and consulted with our doctor in advance, they are prepared to care for us weekly.' I had weekly checkups, and starting at week 18 I had weekly ultrasounds.' Ever y couple of weeks I did the 24 hour hour urine test to check for protein in my urine.' At week 30 our specialist informed us that they had decided it was time to plan for an early delivery.' They were happy that I had made it to week 30 but, they didnt think they should risk it any longer.' Three days before I was scheduled to deliver at week 32 I felt my blood pressure spike.' Being that my specialist was an hour away I head to the nearest clinic.' I shared the story of my pregnancy about Eva with the doctor.' She confirmed my blood pressure was high and abnormal but, she sent me home to rest anyway and told me to go see my specialist the next day.' When I called the next morning my doctor had me in the office immediately and encouraged me to consider induction.' After several hours of debate (with my husband and parents) decided it was time.' I was in labor for over two days (my husband and mom by my side) to try and avoid a C-section but, my baby boy was having nothing of the sort.' On April 13th, 2009 (week 36) our son was born, Santiago Edgar Tobon.' He is perfect.'
After the delivery I started to swell.' I gained just over 60 pounds of water weight.' The doctors informed me that it is called post Preeclampsia and can be just as dangerous.' After 13 days in the hospital, 60+ lbs of water weight and a dry kidney, a kidney infection we are discharged and sent home.
I have survived Preeclampsia twice, lost a child and almost lost my life.' When I saw my moms design of Evas Angels I thought it was gorgeous.' They carry different meanings for all of us.' ' But for me it has been away to remember Eva with my family.' Eva will be in our hearts forever.' We grieve and miss her every day.' Evas Angels are meant to remember all our babies who have died.' Because they are all angels.

this is not horribly dated at all! it has a feel all of it's own.
people do not call a stadivarius dated..well this is just as well crafted and actually in the scheme of our universe it is still a very young machine...i mean you would not call a 24 year old human old?...would you? think of all the great classics by all the great composers no one cals them "dated" "old fashioned" this machine is still far to useful to be terible i love it i see why so many still do wanna use it and why so many did!, it will come back to use like lots of other instruments...if not then why are so many software versions of every synth imaginable made?
it has great stock sounds it is easy to operate...takes a little time to get round the creation part like measures and lengths etc but it is a great drum machine i highly recommend to any one who can find one as they are quite a rare item now but do not get ripped off i paid £350 for mine...it is mint it used to belong to syco systyms..the people who used to sell fairlights in the uk a yonk ago as it were!!
and it has been looked after and has not a scratch on its surface rally every thing so far! works good it has great sound quality too
Objectively if you want real drums sounds with the best feel, you can't do better than this. Prince still uses his LM-1 for this reason, and substitutes sound chips to give it the necessary cheezy Roland sounds that have been in vogue for so long.
my brother owned the scond linn drum with sound chips to change the samples and i was fasinated by it he sold it i could slap him severly as i wanted to own one badly for myself still do but hey thems the breaks!!!!!

Thanks wowhead :)
Old Draenor? This I can get behind. I kind of want to go read the old books again, now...
Would've wanted a whole new game but this works. Can't wait! Hopefully it won't be a year from now, though.
So? no new races? no new classes? I think they are kind of in a hurry, but I will not judge until I play it, the lvl90 boost seems funny. Another thing, more orcs? well, at ñeast they are "twilighting them up" jajajajaja. I like the idea of finally killing Garrosh, let us hope we can!
I can't wait for this expansion now. .-.
... Everyone knows it's easier to review something than to create an entire world of nothing! So.... no new races then? I would like to play as a half dragon.....
Finally i'm gonna meet Ner'zhul!
Garrisons are literally the only thing that I care about in this announcement. Wow, such a wasted chance.
I love the proposed itemization changes; I don't like having an otherwise well-geared character way over the hit and expertise cap before reforging. The notion of adding fun or other useful stats (cleave!) to items sounds great, as managing stats nowadays feels almost chore-like and sort of intangible. Making gear more like the current talent system -- where choices are determined more by play style than absolute necessity -- is a change that I would welcome.I'm really looking forward to more story details. As much as I like the concept of this expansion, Draenor isn't new to Warcraft veterans (and I'm sure some will love it nevertheless). I want to see unfamiliar characters and places, not the Caverns of Time on steroids, so I hope that Blizzard handles the overlap of old and new well.I like the free boost of one character to level 90, but now the grind from 1-90 will seem like even more of a hassle if we're allowed to skip it once. On the other hand, I can't imagine that new players starting at 90 will be able to ease in comfortably; it's hard enough to master a class the old-fashioned way of hours and hours of grinding.As for new character models: finally! I'm not eager to hear that perhaps only some will be available at launch (they've had how many years to accomplish this?), but something is better than nothing.
Garrosh's new friend makes a lot more sense once you've finished all those Timeless hourglass quests!
No justice for Cairne so soon!
i'd like to know the release date :)
Looks awesome soo far
This is certainly a cool xpac. Excited to see what they'll do with the perk idea. Hope they don't stagger the 10 model updates, though.Keep up the good work informing us, Wowhead. You're doing great.
Does look like a very strong expansion.
No more hit and expertise? Sign me up!
awesome live blogging!
Definetly i won`t quit wow ! I was about to! Great job Blizz!
Shut up and take my money! Seriously, I can't wait to go out and level up to 100!

Star Wars cookie cutters?Looked on eBay for awhile and I havent seen any but doesnt mean they arent out there,waiting for me :D I would assume they would have been 'back in the day'...or not at all.
Hmm... I don't know if cookie cutters were made but it wouldn't surprise me. I do know that Wilton, the cooking-hardware company that still makes cake pans and decorating supplies, did make Star Wars aluminum cake pans in the 1980s. Wilton still produces cake pans for popular characters such as Spongebob Squarepants and Scooby-Doo.
Wilton made four different cake pans shape of Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and C-3PO's heads, plus a full-body R2-D2. Wilton pans can be used over and over and stand up to most abuse. You can still get them on eBay relatively cheaply. There were also cheaper cake pans (similar to frozen pie pans) too but they weren't as durable. I'm not sure if those were made by Wilton or not.
I am pretty sure they had them awhile back, but dont hold me to it.
I know for a fact that they made little Play-Doh shapes and cutters so if push comes to shove you could always use them. The Jabba one we had would make about a 10 pound cookie though.;)
Oh yeah, the Play-Doh molds would work I suppose. Forgot all about those. I have the Jabba one that still has some ancient cans of Play-Doh in the box.
Play-Dog would work,never thought of it actually,Thanks :)
I know about the cake pans,and candy molds(have some :) ) which lead me to believe there might have been Star Wars cookie cutter out there.The play-doh sounds like a much easier solution :D
I still have the Artoo and Threepio cake pans and 2 or 3 of the candy molds. If those damn little candies weren't so expensive, I'd be making them all the time!
I've never seen cookie cutters though.
But I do remember Star Wars cookies back in the Jedi days. They were packaged in a bag like Goldfish crackers (maybe the same company). They were chocolate flavored and shaped like Vader, Chewie, Artoo, Threepio, ect.
They were tasty too!
Mmmm...chocolate Vader...
Here they are Rocketboy...
I have a 7" knock-off af vader from the "Galaxy Empire" line, he's a perfectly scaled-up version of the POTFII "He-man Vader", an exact duplicate in every respect.. except that he's a rich, chocolate brown colour... you'd love him, RBQuote:

There is some reason for their enthusiasm. Sales have been great in California, the company's home base and the largest U.S auto market. The California New Car Dealers Association on Monday reported sales results for the first six months of 2013, and Tesla's Model S was the third-best selling luxury sedan after Daimler's (DDAIF.PK) Mercedes-Benz E Class and BMW's 5 Series models. In fact, this particular piece of news sent shares of the electric vehicle manufacturer to a new all-time high of $173. When the company's stock price surged past $172.75 during that rally, its market capitalization hit $20 billion.
"Justified or not, the expectations for this company are now very high," Baum & Associates automobile analyst Alan Baum told Bloomberg. He likened the electric vehicle manufacturer to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), saying the company has "managed to cross the automotive and technology fields to become this hot commodity."

text: JOHNNY ON THE RUN | HIDE AND SEEK | TERRY ON THE FENCE For Over 30 years the Children's Film Foundation produced quality entertainment for young audiences employing the cream of British filmmaking talent. Newly transferred from the best available elements held in the BFI National Archive these much-loved and fondly remembered films finally return to the screen after many years out of distribution in this specially curated DVD release from the BFI. Johnny on the Run a superb early work by illustrious British director Lewis Gilbert (You Only Live Twice Education Rita Alfie) follows orphaned Polish refugee Janek who runs into trouble in the shape of two scheming thieves. Starring Sydney Tafler (Carve Her Name with Pride The Spy Who Loved Me) as a cunning spiv and featuring an appearance from John Laurie (The 39 Steps Dad's Army) Johnny on the Run is an action-packed adventure with a remarkable performance from its young lead. Hide and Seek stars a teenage Gary Kemp (The Krays) as do-gooding Chris who becomes entangled with a borstal escapee known locally as the Deptford Dodger. With friend Bev Chris traces the ungrateful Dodger's disreputable dad. With Roy Dotrice and Robin Askwith in supporting roles this thriller is among the best of the Foundation's 1970s output. In Terry on the Fence when our 11-year-old protagionist runs away from home he only intends to put the wind up his parents. But a gang of older bullies led by tough-nut Les soon draw him into their daunting world of break-ins and stolen goods. Based on the book by author Bernard Ashley Terry on the Fence goes far beyond the concept of goodies and baddies to the ambiguity at the heart of Terry's moral dilemma.

In spite of the landslide victory, the ldp was hardly in a celebratory mood.
The ldp lost many of its veteran pols in recent years; some retired, but many others defected to form splinter parties.
"I believe they voted for the ldp not because they wanted nuclear plants," she says.
But as the president of the ldp, Abe is in a position where he must say something.
Last year, the ldp accused news organizations questioning the Secrets Act of breaking the law.
The Special Secrets Bill is based on a failed anti-spying bill proposed by Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone (ldp) in the 1980s.
Furthermore, the ldp has lost many of its heavyweight politicians in recent years.
In spite of their image as bland, geriatric pols, the party elders gave the ldp a sense political heft.
The group demanded that the ldp punish the person responsible for the remarks by June 25.
The conservative ldp politician Shinzo Abe is expected to be the next prime minister.

On the day after the recent massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., police in Newport Beach, Calif., took a man into custody for allegedly firing more than 50 rounds from a semi-automatic handgun in the parking lot of a shopping mall.
He aimed into the air and no one was hit, though one person was hurt slightly while running away. Police say 42-year-old Marcos Gurrola was destitute and frustrated with his circumstances. Firing dozens of rounds at the sky was his way of venting.
If there is a more apt metaphor for where this nation now finds itself than some fool standing befuddled as bullets rain down about him, one finds it hard to imagine.
Come, then. Let us weep for the 20 children shot to pieces by the young man who invaded their elementary school wielding semiautomatic weapons. Let us mourn for the six adults who could not save the children, could not save themselves, who died as the children died, shot multiple times at close range. Let us whisper our sorrows and shed our tears. Let us stagger against one another in our mountainous grief. Let us light our candles and leave them at makeshift shrines to be cared for by the uncaring sun and rain.
But let us also understand these as acts of moral masturbation, in that they satisfy some need, yet have no chance of producing anything of lasting consequence. Let us not pretend our sorrow in this moment means a damn thing or changes a damn thing, because it doesn't and won't. Not until or unless the American nation is finally willing to confront its unholy gun love.
The parameters of this argument have not changed for generations. On the one side are people who enjoy hunting for sport or sustenance and people who, when bad guys come through the door, want to have more in their hands than just hands. They are, by and large, decent and responsible individuals who know and respect guns and resent any suggestion that they are not trustworthy to own them.
On the other side are equally decent and responsible people who think we ought to take reasonable steps to ensure that children, emotionally disturbed individuals and violent felons have no access to guns, people who believe no hunter requires 30 rounds to bag a deer and no homeowner not expecting to be attacked by a band of ninjas has need of an AK-47 to protect her property.
There is, you will notice, nothing about one side of that argument that precludes the other. Such people are, unfortunately, in woefully short supply.
What are rather more plentiful are lawmakers in thrall to the gun lobby and to an ideology which finds more to fear in a paranoid fantasy (jackbooted government thugs coming to seize your guns) than in an objective reality (innocent people repeatedly, senselessly, unnecessarily, dying).
Our choice could be not be more clear. We can continue with acts of moral masturbation. Or we can finally agree that the problem is obvious: too many people who should not have guns, do.
Unless we achieve the simple courage to reach that consensus, nothing else we do will change anything. Let us weep, let us mourn. Let us whisper sorrow and shed tears.And bullets keep raining down.
