The year is 1856, 20 to 30 years before most of the houses on the south west side of Cuyler Street were built and before there was a Charlotte Avenue. As we head to the north toward E. Jackson there were no houses in the empty grove. The first building was an old ice house built in 1856 made of old wood and an eye sore to the location. Major George Cuyler made great issue with this unsightly building as it was nearly across the street from his fine house. Finally it was torn down much to the relief of the residents on the east side of south Cuyler Street. We are beginning on South Cuyler Street at the corner of what we know as Charlotte today. Back in this day there was no Charlotte Avenue. First the property was called �Hathaway Grove�, a beautiful Maple grove owned in the early days by Solomon Hathaway. His granddaughter, Charlotte Jenner Birdsall owned this old farm and thus the name of Charlotte Avenue was taken and a new street was built. The house built on the corner of Charlotte and Cuyler was built on a vacant lot and owned by Honorable F. W. Griffith in 1891. There were a few houses built from the 1880�s to the 1890�s having such owners as Ziegler, Leach and Winston the last house in this row of beautiful homes was in 1897 built for Mr. Hopkins with a large carriage house in back. This was a summer home for Mr. Hopkins who spent his winters in Florida and summers in Palmyra. In 1920 Mr. Mitchell purchased this place using it as a rental property where Chief Henry Hilborn lived for a few years. Many of us know it as the Allen house.
We are finally heading to the house of Mr. Charles Bowman who purchased this land in 1870 at the far north end of Hathaway Grove where he had a beautiful house built in 1871. Although the ice house was the first building on the west side of south Cuyler, this home built by Charles Bowman was the first home built here. The parents of Charles were William H and Lucy Lakey Bowman. The Bowman�s owned a grocery and drug store on East Main St.
Now the great stories and memories of this unique street often noted as the prettiest street in the Village because of the beautiful Maple trees that dot the yards are remembered only in history. Gone is the old ice house and gone is one of its famous workers Mr. Congo Grayson who was a freed slave who made his life in Palmyra and lived to 108 years. Congo cut wood in this very area and would help with the erection of the ice house. Gone is the Hathaway Golf Course and �Hathaway Grove�. And, gone is the circus lot entrance at the far north end of �Hathaway Grove� that served as a the stage for the famous circuses that visited Palmyra and kept her residents entertained. P. T. Barnum�s Greatest Show on Earth arrived by train with elephants, clowns, lions, and tigers heading up East Main Street turning on Cuyler Street to the entrance on south Cuyler Street. The crowds cheered as the circus came to town. I have never seen a circus train or a circus parade except in the photograph collection of Sibyl Phelps. One of the questions that I ask as you also may wonder is why this event was not held at the Fair Grounds but nevertheless � Hathaway Grove� was its stage.
Gone is E. B. Grandin at the end of Cuyler Street and gone is Major William Howe and George Cuyler as well as F. W. Griffith. Gone are Mr. Clapp, Walker, Durfee, Goldsmith, Zieglar and Charlotte Jenner Birdsall. But, today we can still remember with Walker Street, Hathaway Place, William and Cuyler Streets, and Charlotte Avenue, Goldsmith Road and E. B. Grandin Press. There are still Ziegler�s and Hall�s that live on the south end of Cuyler Street which is still looking like a park setting. Enjoy the memories and come see the home from 1871 owned by Bowman, McLouth, and Hall on the Historic Palmyra Homestead Candlelight House Tour Dec. 7. Don�t forget this weekend Nov. 21 and 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Nov. 23 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. is the holiday bazaar at the Alling Coverlet Museum. Come enjoy lunch, friends and good times.

Quick Binary Debugging in Linux with Strace System Call Tracer
I've recently come across strace, a debugging utility for Linux that "monitor the system calls used by a program and all the signals". It may not be that useful if you have the source code and can run other debugging tools such as gdb, or simply add printf to your code. But if you don't have source code of the program, or you are a system administrator who wants to check if the program fails due to file access reasons, for example, this is really a great tool as it may help you find out which file causes problem.
In my case, I was trying OpenGL ES on an ARM platform, and at least part of the code comes in libraries that are only available in binary form.
I got the following error message running es2_info (part of mesa-utils-extra):
UMP: ump_arch_open() failed to open UMP device driver
ERROR: In file: src/base/common/mem/base_common_mem.c function: initialize_memo
ry_system() line:1521
Could not open UMP memory system. Shutdown.Error: eglInitialize() failed
I don't have the source for src/base/common/mem/base_common_mem.c, and I've been advised to use strace to find out if the problem could be file related (missing missing, permission issue…). You may need to install it first (e.g. Ubuntu/Debian):
sudo apt-get install strace
Now time to give it a try:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
strace es2_info ... mmap2(0x406e4000, 8192, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED|MAP_DENYWRIT E, 4, 0x87) = 0x406e4000 close(4) = 0 mprotect(0x406e4000, 4096, PROT_READ) = 0 munmap(0x4011a000, 69638) = 0 open("/dev/ump", O_RDWR) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0664, st_size=22934, ...}) = 0 mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40 0a8000 write(1, "UMP: ump_arch_open() failed to o"..., 124UMP: ump_arch_open() failed t o open UMP device driver ********************************************************************* ) = 124 write(1, "ERROR: ", 7ERROR: ) = 7 write(1, "In file: src/base/common/mem/bas"..., 97In file: src/base/common/mem/b ase_common_mem.c function: initialize_memory_system() line:1521 ) = 97 ... |
This will output a debugging information each time a file or a socket is accessed. In this case, strace helped me identify the issue when it showed es2_info could not open /dev/ump device file due to permission issues. Running the program with sudo or changing /dev/ump permission fixed that particular issue.
This is just one example. If you want to know more about the options provided by this tool, simply visit strace manpage.

Amputation |
AKA amputation04/28/2008 |
my dad had an aka amputation a week ago. his stup is looking like it is becoming infected a little bit if bleeding through but some ares of pus betwee sutures.what are signs to look for regarding infection?
Systemic signs of infection would be fever and malaise. The wound would become erythematous (red) and there would be purulent drainage. It sounds as if this wound should be checked by the operating physician.

▼▲A very liberating read, as well as one that will surely deepen your trust in God. Larry takes apart ten commonly held beliefs that dont make sense because they arent true! Russ Carroll, CEO OF MIVA MERCHANT
In Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe, Larry Osborne dismantles many ideas that have derailed the faith of sincere Christians for far too long. Larry has the rare capacity to communicate difficult truths in a way that ignites the imagination and disarms the soul. I strongly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper and more-nuanced faith. Scott Chapman, SENIOR PASTOR OF THE CHAPEL, ILLINOIS
Larry Osborne never fails to compel me to think with greater precision. Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe challenges us to reevaluate what we can so glibly believe and come away with a faith that we can deeply admire. Dr. Wayne Cordeiro, AUTHOR OF THE DIVINE MENTOR, DOING CHURCH AS A TEAM AND THE LIFE JOURNAL
I recommend anything Larry Osborne writes. Hes hit another homer with Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe! Larry unshackles our souls from things that threaten to destroy us. Im confident your life will be better after reading this book! Ron Forseth, VICE PRESIDENT OF OUTREACH INC. AND GENERAL EDITOR OF SERMONCENTRAL.COM
Larry Osbornes Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe will help new believers and seasoned Christians alike. People often believe what theyve heard without knowing why. Larry pierces through widely accepted spiritual legends with common sense and scriptural precision. Craig Groeschel, PASTOR OF LIFECHURCH.TV AND AUTHOR OF CONFESSIONS OF A PASTOR
This is Larry Osborne at his best: scripturally sound, brutally honest, and dripping with grace. He has the guts to blow up myths that have lingered for far too long. Whether youve been reading your Bible for years or just bought your first one yesterday, you should listen to this gracious but straightforward wisdom. Greg Holden, PASTOR OF WINDSOR CROSSING COMMUNITY CHURCH, CHESTERFIELD, MISSOURI
This book will liberate us from faulty assumptions about God and life that keep us trapped or looking like naive fools. Larry Osborne brings practical and biblical wisdom to bear on some beliefs that we never shouldve held and that have always confused us. His chapters on forgiving and judging alone are worth the price of the book. Mel Lawrenz, SENIOR PASTOR OF ELMBROOK CHURCH AND AUTHOR OF I WANT TO BELIEVE
For a long time the world has needed this very important book. With patience and clarity, Larry dissects erroneous beliefs that masquerade as faith. He helps us wade through the nonsenseinaccurate and misguided ideas we cling toand guides us to an understanding that results in a winsome, authentic faith the kind we all long for. Nancy Ortberg, FOUNDING PARTNER OF TEAMWORKX2 AND AUTHOR OF LOOKING FOR GOD
Larry Osborne blends pastoral experience and counterintuitive wisdom that will frustrate (in a good way), challenge, and encourage you as you seek to walk with God for a lifetime. Darrin Patrick, PASTOR OF THE JOURNEY, ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI
Filled with common sense from the heart, this book is a well-written and entirely biblical look at often-misunderstood principles in Scripture. I have found it not only helpful in my own life but also effective in discipling others. Great illustrations make the principles clear and easy to grasp. The game-plan illustration relating to Gods will alone is worth the price of the book. Steve Potratz, PRESIDENT OF PARABLE CHRISTIAN STORES AND THE PARABLE GROUP
I remember exactly where I was sitting during a visit to North Coast Church when I first heard my friend Larry Osborne explode the myth that faith fixes everything. I was there to learn the inner workings of the church but walked away with new insight into my faith. Since that time Larry has taught me much about the dumb things smart Christians (and even smart pastors) believe. Youll find one aha moment after another in this book. Im buying copies for all our small-group leaders. Nelson Searcy, LEAD PASTOR OF THE JOURNEY CHURCH, NEW YORK CITY
Larry Osborne takes us through misunderstandings handed down from generation to generation, from Sunday-school class to Sunday-school class. In todays jambalaya spirituality, Larry helps spiritual seekers and misinformed churchgoers sort through the true and the ridiculous. From the barbershop to the halls of traditional church, myths are circulating and now Larry brings the light and balance of Scripture to enlighten the misinformed. Stacy Spencer, SENIOR PASTOR OF NEW DIRECTION CHRISTIAN CHURCH, MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE
Larrys commonsense approach in addressing widely held but incorrect spiritual beliefs brings clarity and sanityfinally! The chapters on forgiveness and parenting struck a particular chord with me. Larry is a wise pastor, gifted in teaching Scripture in a way that makes biblical truth accessible and understandable. I highly recommend this book to those familiar with the Christian faith and to those who arent. Linda Stanley, DIRECTOR OF NEXT GENERATION PASTORS LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY, LEADERSHIP NETWORK
Larry Osborne pulls no punches in Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe. He brings clarity and biblical insight to commonly misunderstood ideas.

A great book for new and serious believers alike. Dave Travis, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF LEADERSHIP NETWORK AND AUTHOR OF BEYOND MEGACHURCH MYTHS AND BEYOND THE BOX: INNOVATIVE CHURCHES THAT WORK
Smart Christians can fall for a lot of dumb beliefs. I hadnt considered how many till I read this book, chock-full of sensible observations, disarming illustrations, and compelling scriptural insights. Larry makes you laugh while he makes you think. Ken Werlein, FOUNDING PASTOR OF FAITHBRIDGE CHURCH, HOUSTON, TEXAS
This is a great book. Its a life-changing message the world needs to hear. Everyone should buy a copy and read it. Carolyn Osborne, LARRYS MOM

Martha5 Stars Out Of 5September 3, 2010MarthaThis review was written for Ten Dumb Things Smart Christians Believe.Deeply thought-provoking, examining whether how we live and talk day to day really lines up with what the Bible tells us about the Lord. Ch. 8 and 9 especially, on the belief that "God brings good luck," really challenged some of my habits in how I pray, how I teach children to pray, and how I counsel with other believers. God really never did promise to fix all our problems, but we in the church keep talking as if He did. Ch. 10, on funeral platitudes, started out looking like a side issue but quickly turned to examine some central issues about evangelism. Yet his tone is always pleasant and friendly, occasionally humorous, and he's got Scripture to back up his points. And this is not just talk - Osbourne points out that these unthinking habits of mind can do real damage to one's relationship with God. My pastor borrowed this one.

For around $99, you can get your own black (or blue or green or red or orange or whatever color you want) Xbox 360 that, in our opinion, looks even better than Microsoft's matte paint job. As you can see from the gallery, not only can you have Colorware color your console, but they'll even paint the controllers as well. You have to ship them your console for the process—unless of course you buy an entirely new one—but it's sure to come back looking better than ever. Then, if you really want a 120GB hard drive, you can go ahead and install your own hard drive and save $100. As for HDMI, there's supposedly a faux HDMI cable due out for non-Elite Xbox 360s soon. No 1080p, but you do get to use HDMI. Check out the gallery to see all the gorgeous details. Gallery [Gizmodo] Advertisement Advertisement Product Page [Colorware]Reply22 repliesLeave a reply

On March 21, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision effectively broadening the circumstances under which parties may go to court to seek review from final agency actions. The decision – Sackett v. EPA, 2012 U.S. Lexis 2320 – involved review of a compliance order issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to the Clean Water Act (CWA), but could have implications with respect to the review of agency actions under other federal statutes as well.
The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) provides a basis for review of many final agency actions, but Section 701(a)(1) of the APA states that judicial review is not available under the APA to the extent that judicial review precluded by other federal statutes. For purposes of this provision, it is well-established that statutes may preclude judicial review by implication as well as by doing so expressly. For many years lower courts had concluded that the CWA – which provides for judicial review of penalty orders but does not provide for judicial review of compliance orders – should be read to preclude judicial review of compliance orders. As a result, there has been no means to challenge CWA compliance orders in court until EPA files suit itself to enforce them, at which point EPA would typically seek penalties for noncompliance with the order. The harshness of this result is illustrated by the facts presented in the Sackett case.
The Sackett family owned a vacant residential lot in Idaho, and had added fill to a portion of the property in preparation for construction. The Sacketts then received an administrative compliance order from EPA alleging that the parcel was a wetland subject to CWA protections, and ordering them to remove the fill material and restore the parcel in accordance with an EPA-created plan, or face penalties of up to $75,000 per day. The Sacketts filed suit in federal court pursuant to the APA, challenging the order as unlawful. The U. S. District Court dismissed the suit, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the dismissal, holding that the CWA precludes review of compliance orders before EPA actually seeks to enforce them. As a result, the Sacketts were left with no means to challenge the EPA order without incurring the risk of substantial penalties for noncompliance with its terms.
The Supreme Court's Ruling
The Supreme Court reversed, holding that the EPA compliance order was a final agency action, and that the implication that the CWA precludes judicial review of such orders is not sufficiently compelling to overcome the APA's general presumption that final agency actions are reviewable. The Court distinguished three prior decisions in which it had found an implied preclusion of judicial review in other statutes, but articulated no clear basis to draw the line between statutes that should be read to preclude judicial review of agency actions and those that should not. What the decision does suggest is that the lower courts have been drawing that line incorrectly for many years in CWA cases, and may have been doing so under other statutes as well. Accordingly, parties subject to administrative compliance orders or similar agency actions may now have better opportunities to challenge those actions in court.

This project will provide high quality inputs (livestock, etc.) and training to improve agricultural production, introduce integrated farming in the target communities to diversify production and income that will further increase resilience to inevitable shocks such as when a household member gets sick, and emphasize the community as the focus of the intervention of improving food security through improved livestock, crop and horticulture production and enhancing coping capacity of families.
Over time this project will build socio-economic self-sufficiency of the community through the multiplier effect of the 'passing on the gift' of animals , practical skills and knowledge, best practices in community-based animal management, integrated agriculture, HIV/AIDS care and support, sanitation and hygiene and pro-poor enterprise development.
This project has provided additional documentation in a PDF file (projdoc.pdf).

The jackets have a drawstring through the hood which can pose a strangulation hazard to children. In February 1996, CPSC issued guidelines about drawstrings in children's upper outerwear. In 1997, those guidelines were incorporated into a voluntary standard. Then, in July 2011, based on the guidelines and voluntary standard, CPSC issued a federal regulation. CPSC's actions demonstrate a commitment to help prevent children from strangling or getting entangled on neck and waist drawstrings in upper outerwear, such as jackets and sweatshirts.
Consumers should immediately remove the drawstrings from the garment to eliminate the hazard or return the garment to Ram's Imports Inc. for a full refund.
Ram's Imports toll-free at (855) 346-5950 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or online at www.ramsimports.com and click on "product recall" for additional information.

Transitions and uncertainty become the new normal for the Alzheimer's caregiver. But perhaps no transition is as monumental as when the person you love and have shared a life and home with moves to a care facility. The decision marks an irrefutable passage of a chapter in time.
We met Carol in the last blog post as she spoke about transitions and shared her story as a wife, and in more recent years, a caregiver to her husband, Alan. Here's more:
"Alan was having more incontinence episodes both during the day and night. He was beginning to wander outside. In the shower he often became frightened and then his knees would buckle and he would slowly collapse to the ground ... he was afraid to sit on the toilet. I was beginning to have trouble getting him to sit down in the car.
"When I got the call that there was a room available at the care facility, I cried for hours. I had already declined the opening twice before when the call came. But this time, I knew in my head it was time. Alan's needs were getting too difficult to manage at home, and yet, I was totally unprepared emotionally.
"I had a few weeks to process my decision. I thought he would get better care and felt that he would be safer in the care home I had selected. However, I couldn't suppress my feelings of guilt and sadness. I kept telling my adult kids that I needed a sign that I was making the right decision.
"The evening of the move our kids and I sat with Alan in the living room of his new home. One of the staff members said to Alan, "Let's go get ready for bed." He went with her without turning back to look at any of us. My daughter said, "Mom, that's your sign." It was the best sign I could have gotten!
"Alan's adjustment went smoothly. I soon realized that the home was a better place for him because he could live at his own pace and have more interaction with others. Undeniably, my lifestyle had become too much for Alan.
"As a caregiver, perhaps the hardest transition I've had with Alzheimer's is facing just how long and exhausting the journey is. And when Alan moved to a care facility, my role as a caregiver didn't abruptly end, it just changed.
"It's easy now to become complacent with where Alan is at in the disease because things have slowed down, so changes can catch me off guard. But I find that I do better once I've adjusted to the change — not that Alan gets better.
"Through it all, I could not have survived as well without the friends I've reached out to in my support network, or without our kids. Our kids live out of town and even though I do the caregiving for Alan, my kids do the caregiving for me. They let me know that they don't want to lose both parents from their dad's Alzheimer's."
I often say that when you've met one caregiver, you've met one caregiver — each of you walk the path and experience the journey in your own way. Carol's story is uniquely hers, but I know many of you identify with her in your own situation.
Carol's story is about anticipating what lies ahead, accepting what she can and can't control, advocating tirelessly on behalf of her husband, and continuously adjusting to her next new normal. Moreover, Carol's story is about loving and letting go at the same time.
"Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain." — Anonymous

Undefeated World Boxing Association (WBA) lightweight champion 'Bam Bam' BRANDON RIOS will make the first defense of his world title when he takes on two-time world title challenger and current Top-Five-rated contender URBANO ANTILLO, Saturday, July 9, at The Home Depot Center in Carson, CA!
Rios (27-0-1, 19 KOs), a native of Lubbock, Tex., now fights out of Oxnard, Calif. Arguably the division's most exciting fighter, he returns to the ring on the heels of his biggest professional victory, a 10th round TKO of defending champion Miguel Acosta, on February 26, to capture the WBA lightweight title. An all-action fan-friendly fighter, Rios, who is trained by former IBF junior lightweight champion Robert Garcia, possesses a self-described "throwback" style and a warrior's mentality that screams excitement as proven by the fact that eight of his previous nine victories have been by knockout. Highlights of that streak include victories, all inside the distance, over Acosta (28-3-2), Anthony Peterson (30-0), Jorge Teron (23-1-1) and Omri Lowther (14-2), who had a combined record of 95-6-3 when they were defeated by Rios.
Antillon (28-2, 20 KOs), of Maywood, Calif., has given sensational performances in recent fights, most notably his last one, against World Boxing Council lightweight champion Humberto Soto last December, the consensus "Fight of the Year." Though he lost to Soto by one point on two of the judges' cards due to a controversial point deduction by the referee, Antillon emerged from that fight a certified world-class contender. Trained by Abel Sanchez, 10 of Antillon's last 11 victories have been by knockout. Notable scalps hanging from Antillon's belt include Rene Gonzalez (27-1-1), Tyrone Harris (23-4), former world title challenger Daniel Attah (24-4-1), and Bobby Pacquiao (28-13-3), the younger brother of Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao.
Promoted by Top Rank, tickets for The Home Depot Center's Rios vs. Antillon World Lightweight Championship fight card, priced at $125, $75, $50 and $25, go on sale Next Tuesday! May 31 at 10 a.m. PT. They can be purchased at all Ticketmaster outlets and online at www.Ticketmaster.com as well as The Home Depot Center Box Office (open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.). Suites are available by calling 1-877-604-8777.
Most media outlets see this title fight as a great match up that is going to produce fireworks.
Last Fight
"I'm personally looking forward to seeing this fight because I love an all-action fight. I personally predict that when all is said and done and we're sitting around discussing fights of the year, this fight will be right up there as one of the candidates as 2011 Fight of the Year."

Richmond Street will now come alive each month with residents and vendors joining together to celebrate the River Wards' unique spirit.
A new neighborhood-wide free event will kick off next week.
"I fell in love with the neighborhood a while back," Pizzola explained of his motivation for organizing Second Saturday.
"I was tired of going to NoLibs or Fishtown for stuff to do on the weekends," Pizzola said at the PRCG meeting, when asked why he and Mason teamed up to help create the event.

I found it sad that the Theramore survivors seem to die in random AE when the raid attacks the overlord.
I found it sad that the Theramore survivors seem to die in random AE when the raid attacks the overlord.
Rouges are so overpowdered, they keep fainting.
Agreed, though here she and the Sentinels are curbstomping Korkron which is something I want to see more of.
It won't happen. The horde playerbase isn't allowed to feel punished more than the siege itself.I still hope there are some demands by Varian at the end/some consequences for more than just the "bad orcs" (Kor'kron and Garrosh) and also the rebels
If it's not an elf, leave it on the shelf.
The bitch formerly known as Moon Blade
Night Elf Liberation Front N.E.L.F.
Something mean about trolls.
Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.
you know I just realized. The timeless isle reveal showing all the horde and alliance leaders stood over Garrosh, it also has Taran zhu there, the one actually standing over his corpse.
If I'm right, Taran will be the one giving a speech at the end about the consequences of both there factions, putting Thrall and Varian at a stand off, but he being the one using his line of 'just walk away'.
I wouldnt see that likely
Varian is all 'tame' now.
But if you replace him with Jaina...........
- - - Updated - - -
Choosing his 'side' dsnt mean you completely 100% believe in everything he does/says
Like Nazgrim, many of these Orcs can be defending Org because...well......its their god dam city, its their homeland, and its there people, and god forbid they stand by while all that shit burns
Its like WW2, with the German Generals and the Nazis. Not everyone in the military was an advent Nazi, but they sure as hell are not gonna go home instead of lending their skills to fight for their nation, and to make sure it dsnt suffer and burn in defeat
- - - Updated - - -
Horde players shouldnt feel bad for fighting Alliance anymore than Alliance players should feel bad fighting Horde
We have faced trials and danger, threats to our world and our way of life. And yet, we persevere. We are the Horde. We will not let anything break our spirits!"
Bring in the Mankrik for rebuilding the Horde!
Guild Housing Suggestion
Individualizing our characters:
I guess we'll never find out if Thathung is really that hung.
A tragic loss to the Horde.
Entire cities you say? You mean... Theramore... where all the important NPCs either died, or fled and are alive.
or Gilneas.... that has all it's NPCS survive and spread around the world.
Yes, the Alliance really lost out on having more space than the Horde prior, The Alliance totally got shafted when the game was made MORE EQUAL.
- - - Updated - - -
Ironically, it seems Alliance players like to push, but never get Punshed Back.
"What do you seek within the mountain?"
-Zaela eventually dies during childbirth
-Thrall adopts baby Hellscream.
Calling it now! Baby Hellscream for Warchief 2014
On a side note though, now i may not be a medic but falling from a dragon due to machine gun fire seems like a good way to terminate a pregnancy. I mean puts the whole falling down a staircase cliche to shame
Man, imagine if Thrall, Eitrigg and Saurfang all die. That would be some heavy losses Horde side.
I for one have also related the orcs to being based off the Klingons. Still need a Worf cameo/parody though. And a Data cameo...ah hell, and entire TNG cameo would be wonderful.
OT: Seriously, these pictures just have me wanting to explore the city and see what they did with it. All kinds of stuff. I love it when they take what you've been seeing for years an involve in major confrontations...as long as it's done right. Dragon Soul is NOT an example of it being done right....

Is Choice the Correct Primitive? On Using Certainty Equivalents and Reference Levels to Predict Choices among Gambles
Choice is viewed as a derived, not a primitive, concept. Individual gambles are assigned subjective certainty equivalents the choice set "X" has an associated reference level [RL("X")] based on the certainty equivalents of its members; the outcomes of each gamble are recoded as deviations from the RL("X"); and new certainty equivalents are constructed. The gamble having the largest new certainty equivalents is chosen. The certainty equivalents are described by the rank- and sign-dependent theory of Luce (1992). The concept of RL is studied axiomatically. The model predicts many behavioral anomalies and is tested with data sets of Mellers, Chang, Birnbaum, and Ordonez (1992).

Courtesy of Lum comes Adam Martin's frank discussion about Tabula Rasa. Worth a read.
I agree with Lum's conclusion that Tabula Rasa failed because it took too long, spent too much money, and became incapable of meeting its own expectations. But let's not beat that dead horse — I'd rather beat the dead horse that Adam brings up:
Re-reading this as I go, I remember there was another big excuse that I never gave credence to: "I'll bury my head in real work and make *my* parts as good as I possibly can, and hope if everyone else does the same, it will All Come Together In The End". This one wasn't voiced so much, but is simply what people did, in some cases.
Hope is not a strategy. Whenever your attempt to avoid disaster revolves around the H-word instead of a concrete averting action, you are doomed.
In my experience this happens an awful lot. Is this you? Are you doing this right now? Hoping that by working harder you will be able to stave off the doom you see coming? Take a step back and look at what you're working on. "This is going to be the best monster ever. It will save my shitty game." "This new twist on crafting is going to keep people distracted from the tedious combat!" "With enough back story I can distract players from the lack of content!" Come on. That's not a plan. It's hoping for a miracle.
It's easy to hope against hope that it will all work out, and it's so hard to rock the boat, risk your job and friendships, and push to make the critical changes happen. But if you can't or won't do that, then you need to at least leave. I know it's hard to leave now, you're bailing out on your doomed comrades, you're sealing their fate, you're… yeah yeah. Whatever. Down deep you know your game is going to die no matter what, and yep, it's going to hurt like hell knowing that you wasted years of your life. But what would going down with the ship achieve?
I'm not speaking from a higher position, I've been plenty guilty of this. And I gotta tell you, changing everybody's opinion about something they care strongly about is not my idea of a fun time. I have never signed up to change a company, I sign up to make a game! Yet most MMO companies are rudderless ships of overworked, desperately hoping, doomed people. It really hurts me to think about some of the failures I've not been willing or able to avert. (This is why I haven't signed up full time on a new MMO. I would love to work on a live game again more than anything else. But I can't bring myself to jump back into the doom yet.)
Hope isn't a strategy, and you and I both know when we're hoping instead of strategizing. You're a professional game developer, and you got to this point in life by making sacrifices. You made these decisions in order to make great games. Are you making a great game now?
You're a brilliant person, and I expect more from you than keeping your head down and hoping for a miracle.

They may look like ordinary fifth graders, but these six 10-year-olds are members of the Cedar Key Safety Patrol.
They, along with about 8 other students and teacher, Miss Janeice Smith, are tasked with ensuring that things are safe at school and they had to eat well for the job on the first day of school.
The cafeteria ladies at Cedar Key School may be the some of the proudest ladies you have never met.
With student enrollment at Cedar Key School expected to be on the rise this year, Principal Sue Ice was under even more pressure to make sure students were clear about what's expected of them.

I think there will be a run on QBs. You also still have some big names left in the draft like Manti and Lacy that may push Tank down
I disagree completely. Picks in round four through seven aren't going to do is much good. This team is already stocked with decent mediocrity. We need impact players. If you can trade and get three tonight, do it, depth be damned.
Any of the following guys would be excellent additions at our pick: Jonathan Cyprien SS/FS, Florida International Tank Carradine DE, Florida State Margus Hunt DE, SMU Arthur Brown ILB/OLB, Kansas State Jonathan Banks CB, Mississippi State David Amerson CB/S, NC State Jamar Taylor CB, Boise State Jesse Williams DT, Alabama Jonathan Hankins DT, Ohio State Johnathan Jenkins DT, Georgia I mean, we are fine where we are at.
^ Exactly.. No reason to move up, let's just take 1 of the many talented players at a position of need still on the board.
If I could trade all our remaining picks and walk out of tonight with hunter, teo, and tank, I'd do it. Those three would help us more than the 7 picks in three through seven would.
Carradine is the guy I want and I think we stay where we are and get him. Like to see us trade back into the 2nd round and get another impact player
Exactly. The Titans are getting to the point where need quality, not quantity. We have a solid roster of good football players. We need a few playmaker to get to the next level.
I think tank falls to the Titans but if he doesnt there are other good players like Jon Hankins who is a first round talent. My worry is that Tank is available and Titans still pass on him

After multiple bans that isolated Japan from the outside world, the Tokugawa shogunate was weakening. Inside the country, political unrest and administrative division were taking their toll on the Tokugawa. The breaking point though was the arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry and his fleet in 1853. By allowing Perry into Japan, the Tokugawa showed the weakening of their influence. Finding that they could no longer enforce their ban on outside contact, the Tokugawa signed a treaty in 1854, which ended Japan's isolation.
Despite the signing of the treaty, a couple of domains within Japan, namely the Choshu and Satsuma domains, tried to remain isolated, which was a direct violation of the Tokugawa's decree. Leaders of these domains were called tozama, or outside daimyo. It was then that those domains, as well as others demanded a form of government that could effectively dispose of the unwanted foreigners. Their "slogan" was: "sonno joi", or "revive the emperor, expel the barbarians." To dispel the growing unrest within the country, the Tokugawa began to import Western technology and weapons.
After years of organization and planning, in 1868 the tozama staged a palace coup, expelled the Tokugawa from power, and granted power to Emperor Meiji. With the reinstatement of an emperor, the capital was moved from Kyoto to Edo, which was renamed Tokyo. In addition to that, Japan underwent administrative, economic, social, legal, educational, and military reforms. These reforms were instated to improve the society and economy. The new slogan for Japan at this time was: "fukoku Kyohei", or "enrich the country and strengthen the military."
There was an additional reaction to the Meiji Restoration that was felt throughout Japan. Japan began to embrace the teachings of the West, with the hopes of becoming a world power. Many Japanese traveled to Europe to learn about current technology, that they might take back with them to Japan. This outside education proved useful throughout the Sino-Japanese War (1895), and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905), from which Japan emerged victorious. After those wars, Japan was considered to be equal with other powers of the time.

I got everything ready except an idea.
Been thinking of building a program that calculates your BMI but that probably wouldn't suffice.
Finished writing a quick little c++ abstract undo\redo system a couple of hours back. Apart from having difficulty working out the implementation details I finished it up and tested it out. It worked, first go! So there's probably huge bugs everywhere I haven't noticed yet.
It also gave me another excuse to do some template-fu which I think will be quite handy.
I think you're far too late -- I'm not sure of the exact dates but IIRC someone posted that the registration for app vendors closed a couple of weeks back and I think the deadline for applications (if you're already registered) is coming up pretty fast too.
As long as he was registered by 15th Feb, he has until 2 March to fire out an app.
Got Steam sign in working in my app ~properly~ this time, turns out WebViewClient only sends shouldOverrideUrlLoading() for certain types of redirects, so now I just stop it before it shows the 404 page. Syncing with the TF item schema is also ported over after figuring out sqlite, and boy do I miss Core Data.
Also, anyone who has an actual device, does the android runtime run apps at 1024*600 like it should, or 1280*768 like the simulator? I'm hoping it's just another simulator bug, like the dodgy rendering.

It auto-updates every 10 seconds, and events range from newest to oldest. If you can't understand what it says, it's because I'm following a package in Norway right now, so the tracking site is giving me information in Norwegian.
It's a really small and quick program, but I'll do anything to pass the time
Just because I'm bored, a virtual cookie goes to the first person to state the source of the colour palette I'm using here.
What tracking services does it work with?
Windws 95 classic theme?
dat teal
I think it's clearer the way it is. Dummy nodes or another way to manually lay out the wires would be good though.
Pretty much, yeah. It's the default 16-colour CGA compatible palette used by EGA, VGA and Windows.
Dunno why I chose to make everything with those colours but, as I stated, I was very bored.
Here's your cookie!
Currently it's only set up to parse the data from "Posten" in Norway, but it shouldn't be too hard to set it up with other web based services.
My friend wanted my code for homework and I told him "Nah, not this time, you need to figure it out on your own"
He's like "I just want to see the concepts!" and I'm like "Are you serious?" If you can't design a concept for a program in a 2000 level programming course, you're an idiot. Retake the beginner course.
Some people.
I know that feel, bro. (inb4 said friend comments on this post )

An E.Leclerc Supermarket Automates Its PricingThe store has installed thousands of Altierre's electronic shelf labels, enabling it to instantly change the prices of goods, via RFID readers.
Jun 15, 2012—When prices are updated at the E.Leclerc supermarket in Saint-Jean-du-Falga, France, as many as 30,000 labels can change automatically, bringing an end to a time-consuming process by which staff previously had to manually print and swap out printed labels on store shelves.
In March 2012, the Saint-Jean-du-Falga store installed the Electronic Shelf Labeling (ESL) system, which employs radio frequency identification (RFID) to communicate pricing information to the labels. With the system in place, says Patrick Sobraquès, the store's owner and the president of E.Leclerc's IT Infomil subsidiary, "We don't need to have employees update the prices in the store at all anymore." This, he says, provides a significant cost savings for the store, though the exact amount of savings has yet to be measured. Click here to view a larger version of the above diagram. The RFID-enabled electronic labels, along with readers (access points), software for the read data, and integration services, were provided by Altierre, a technology firm based in San Jose, Calif., while the software linking the read data from Altierre's hosted server to E.Leclerc's back-end management system was supplied by Infomil. Sobraquès says he first met with Altierre to investigate a possible ESL solution that would enable the store to update prices easily (the store's prices may change daily, based on sales and promotions). Without an electronic system, he explains, the store needed to have its staff make those changes manually, which was a very time-consuming process in the approximately 5,000-square-meter (53,800-square-foot) store. The retailer needed price labels for 30,000 different products—including some stored in refrigerators or freezers, in which case the labels would be located within the coolers themselves. Thus, the store required a solution in which the active RFID tags could operate at -20 degree Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). Login and post your comment!Not a member?

Gordon Alan Marlatt Ph.D. (November 26, 1941 – March 14, 2011)[1] was Professor of Psychology at the University of Washington and Director of the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at that institution. Born in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1941, he received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from Indiana University in 1968. After serving on the faculties of the University of British Columbia (1968–1969) and the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1969–1972), he joined the University of Washington faculty in the fall of 1972. He conducted pioneering research in three areas: harm reduction, brief interventions, and relapse prevention.
In 1996, Dr. Marlatt was appointed as a member of the National Advisory Council on Drug Abuse of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). He served as the President of the Society of Psychologists in Addictive Behaviors from 1983 to 1984; President of the Section for the Development of Clinical Psychology as an Experimental-Behavioral Science of the Society of Clinical Psychology (Division 12 of the American Psychological Association), 1985–1986; and President of the Association for the Advancement of Behavior Therapy, 1991–1992.
Marlatt's books include Alcoholism: New Directions in Behavioral Research and Treatment (1978), Relapse Prevention: Maintenance strategies in the treatment of addictive behaviors (1985, 2005), Assessment of Addictive Behaviors (1985; 2005), Addictive Behaviors Across the Lifespan (1993), Harm Reduction: Pragmatic Strategies for Managing High-Risk Behaviors (1998), Changing Addictive Behavior (1999), and Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) Manual (1999), The Tao of Sobriety: Helping You to Recover from Alcohol and Drug Addiction (2002), and Therapist's Guide to Evidence-Based Relapse Prevention (2007). In addition, he published over 200 book chapters and journal articles and served on the editorial boards of numerous professional journals, including the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Addictive Behaviors, and Journal of Studies on Alcohol.
Marlatt received continuous funding for his research from a variety of agencies including the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the ABMRF/The Foundation for Alcohol Research, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. In 1990, Marlatt was awarded The Jellinek Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to knowledge in the field of alcohol studies from the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism. In 2001, he was given the Innovators in Combating Substance Abuse Award by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and in 2004 he received the Distinguished Researcher Award from the Research Society on Alcoholism. He received the Distinguished Psychologist award for Professional Contribution to Knowledge from the Washington State Psychological Association in 1990 and the Distinguished Scientist Award from the Society for a Science of Clinical Psychology in 2000.
Marlatt died on March 14, 2011 of kidney failure in Seattle, Washington.

By 1793, when the Providence at last delivered its Tahitian transplants, the days of the slave trade were already numbered. The sentiment of ordinary Englishmen, long opposed to the practice, was being felt in their boycott of West Indian products. While Bligh's own views regarding this institution are not known, the official view of his commission was enshrined in the name of his first ship; when purchased by the Admiralty from Duncan Campbell it had been named Bethia, but was rechristened for its fateful mission—Bounty. Although the breadfruit tree flourished and spread across Jamaica, more than 40 years passed before its fruit was popular to local taste, by which time, in 1834, emancipation had been declared in the British Empire.
Today, the breadfruit is a favorite staple of the Jamaican diet. A mature tree produces in excess of 200 pounds of fruit a season. One hundred grams of roasted breadfruit contains 160 calories, two grams of protein, 37 grams of carbohydrates, as well as calcium and other minerals. Breadfruit is eaten roasted, grilled, fried, steamed, boiled and buttered, and as chips and fritters; over-ripe, the liquid fruit can be poured out of its skin to make pancakes, and mashed with sugar and spices it makes a pudding. For its longevity and self-propagation it is perceived as a symbol of perseverance, a belief, according to the Encyclopedia of Jamaican Heritage, "encoded in the saying, 'The more you chop breadfruit root, the more it spring.'"
Its indelible association with William Bligh, then, is appropriate, for he had persevered through two momentously arduous voyages to fulfill his commission. Other ordeals were to come; back in England, families of the mutineers had been spinning their own version of the piratical seizure of the Bounty, recasting Bligh, who had departed England a national hero, as a tyrannical villain. Weighing anchor in Bluefields Bay, Bligh had no premonition of the trials ahead; he was mindful only of what he had accomplished. "[T]his was the quietest and happiest day I had seen the Voyage," he wrote, as a private aside, in his log, on the day he discharged his plant cargo at Bath. He had done his duty and believed that all that remained was to sail home.
Caroline Alexander wrote The Bounty and the forthcoming The War That Killed Achilles. George Butler's films include Pumping Iron and other documentaries.

Secrets of Using GTAW for Tools and Dies
One retired fabricator share the basics of how he added this services to his shop
Tool and die welding can be a very lucrative service for a fab shop. However, tool and die welders are about as rare as brain surgeons because of a general lack of knowledge about the process and because of the extra expense it brings to a shop. This article offers a basic understanding of what's needed to add this service to your fab shop.
Tool and die welding can be a very lucrative service for a fab shop to offer. However, tool and die welders are a rare breed because of lack of knowledge about the process and the extra expense for a shop.
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) frequently is used for tool and die welding applications because of the high quality required. Two secrets of this specialized welding have been proven continually for 40 years. These secrets, which were passed on to me by a retiring metallurgist, are:
1. The importance of understanding hardness.
2. Economical selection of welding wires.
Welding Wire
I first learned of a modified stainless steel filler metal called 502 while working with different kinds of exotic tool steels while welding small military missiles that were later blown up in hydrostatic testing. This 502 could be used on a variety of tool steels for heat treatment because it performed similarly to the parent metal welding wires.
When welding tools and dies, it's preferred to have a thermostatically controlled furnace for pre- and postheating the part to be welded. Ideally, you also should have a welding filler metal on hand for every type of tool steel coming into your shop. The tool steels vary from water-, oil-, and air-hardening to high-speed, shock-resisting, special-purpose, mold, and high-carbon steels.
Standard practice says the filler always should match the parent material. This extra shop expense and a general lack of tool and die welding knowledge often have precluded the average one-person shop owner from adding this lucrative service to his or her business.However, it is important to remember that the metal stamping company with a worn or chipped $10,000 punch may be more than happy to pay more than your hourly shop rate to save that tool.
I used only three 1/16-inch-thick by 36-inch-long welding wires in my business--4130 rod, 502 modified stainless steel, and Eureka 2. The 4130 filler metal provided an as-welded Rockwell C (RC) hardness scale of 45. The 502 filler provided 58 RC. Eureka 2 provided 62 RC, and other 62-RC filler metals are available to replace this now-obsolete filler metal.
You always should ask the diemaker what hardness is desired, because he or she knows the application for which it will be used.
These three as-welded hardnesses were sufficient for all of our customers' requirements. One customer stamped small and large artillery shells using deep drawing; another made stamped hardware parts, such as washers, for the aircraft industry. My favorite customer kept us busy with commercial products like hinges, drawer slides, restaurant hardware, and table bases.
It is helpful to use temperature-indicating devices. I often used 500- and 600-degree temperature-indicating sticks. You can use a large oxyacetylene Rosebud torch, an air-powered natural gas torch, or a less-expensive propane weed burner torch found in local hardware stores for heat treatment.
Our shop used all three in a 2-foot-square box lined with firebrick.
The part should be preheated until the 500-degree stick melts when wiped on the tool. Then, lessen the heat until the temperature has soaked in. We used the 600-degree sticks for larger parts--15 pounds or more.
You should stop frequently during welding and add more heat to maintain the temperature closely. After welding, the temperature should be increased to 500 degrees and the part allowed to cool on the back of the weld table, away from drafts. It also could be put back in the firebox. I once worked with a mold so large that it was placed on the shop floor and surrounded by firebricks.
We used GTAW exclusively for this type of tool and die work because of the infinite foot control of the amperage and because we easily could add or withhold the amount of filler rod as needed.
Small stringer beads were the norm because they caused less thermal shock and stress to the part. The sequence of weld beads was important. We always staggered 2-inch weld beads as far apart as possible. For example, on a shear blade, the first small bead should be placed in the middle, the next beads on each end, and the next halfway between the previous beads.
This sequence should be used until the job is completed, always lightly peening each weld with a ball-peen hammer. This method never loads too much stress in one area, and eventually the final welds are on a previous weld bead, meaning less stress.
Figure 1: This is a punch welded with 502 and used for stamping. Note the welding sequence. |
Sometimes, a transverse crack appeared at the end of a weld. Such cracks always should be ground out, and the part should be brought back to temperature before repairing this area and continuing the normal welding application.
Most of the tool and die welding I did was performed with 502 for various reasons. Most tools to be repaired are used for shearing or punching, and 502 is tough yet ductile. It can be used to join most dissimilar metals, a handy characteristic because many diemakers build composite tools (for example, a 4130 body to a cutting edge of D2).
Type 502 is compatible with many heat treatment requirements. Sometimes a diemaker wants something soft to be used on a mold. After asking him or her more questions, I'd either use 4130 if the diemaker was pressure-molding metal, or I'd use triple deoxidized mild steel wire.
The wire producing a 62 RC rarely was used unless it was specifically requested. It was used on hundreds of multifluted milling machine cutters that were worn down and then reground after welding.
Figure 1shows a punch welded with 502 and used for stamping 1/4- by 10-inch disks. The customer bought scrap, and sometimes 4130 was mixed in. It was rewelded several times through the years.
Also, my customers never requested postwelding heat treatment, and I don't feel that it's necessary in most cases.
Some might say that this is an oversimplification of a unique and difficult process, but these were the guidelines that we used, and they can provide a good starting point for fab shops that want to initiate tool and die welding services.

Gas Prices are Rising in Sioux Falls
Did you notice the gas prices when you filled up your car before this cold weather arrived?
If you don't turn your head as you drive, you may miss it rising again.
Depending on where you go, for 89 grade octane with ethanol, prices have risen about 21 cents a gallon in the last week. The increase has been three to five cents in the last day.
Also, prices will likely continue to rise into the summer travel season.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that prices are not expected to top $4 or even average more than last year's prices.
Gas prices spiked because the cost of fuel and crude oil has increased, which has forced gas stations to raise their prices.
Marilyn Buskohl, a spokeswoman for AAA in South Dakota, said gasoline prices have increased throughout the state.
A variety of factors contribute to the increase, but the primary factors are higher oil prices from positive economic news and issues with regional oil refineries, she said.

In June of 2011, The Grand Rapids Bar Association (GRBA) announced the signing of its Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative Agreement, a formal commitment between 12 major Grand Rapids law firms and the GRBA, to work together to promote and achieve greater diversity and inclusion in the West Michigan legal community through education, hiring, retention and promotion.
The agreement is available online here.
The Action Plan, finalized in 2012, addressed pipeline issues, recruiting, and retention and will include alternatives, targets and time frames against which progress will be measured during the 5-year period.
This effort, the first of its kind in the state of Michigan, was developed by the leadership of the signatory firms with facilitation and guidance from the GRBA and its Diversity Committee, as well as the American Bar Association's Center for Racial and Ethnic Diversity. Similar agreements in Columbus, OH and Kansas City, MO served as inspiration for the agreement, and the GRBA and the signatory members hope to build on the success of those programs.
In March 2012, the GRBA Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative unveiled the action plan of the Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative to increase diversity in the legal community.
More than 10 months in the making, the action plan details how the GRBA and the Collaborative' s 13 signatory firms will work to "achieve diversity and inclusion in the education, retention and promotion of Michigan's attorneys." The five-year plan, which will be released during a 5 p.m. signing ceremony at the University Club in downtown Grand Rapids, establishes committees that will address three critical issues facing the Bar Association and members firms:
"Much thoughtfulness and hard work went into developing this action plan, which will provide a five-year roadmap for the Bar Association and area law firms as we work to increase diversity," said Mark Smith, GRBA President. "Through many discussions, the managing partners of West Michigan's leading law firms realize that together we can accomplish much more than we can individually.
"As a legal community, we recognize the importance of collaboration to bring about changes that will increase our diversity and ensure we are open and inclusive. This action plan is another significant step in that process."
The Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative was formed in June 2011 after a series of productive discussions on ways that medium and large law firms can improve diversity and inclusion. The action plan establishes three committees focused on pipeline development, recruitment and retention, then lays out specific steps that each will take.
Some of the actions recommended include:
3/22/2017Willis Law Selected as one of the 101 West Michigan Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in 2017
2/6/2017Neil L. Kimball Selected as 2017 Leader in the Law

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/NSF) – A proposal that envisions Florida marching point in a state version of the post-World War II GI Bill sped through the House on the opening day of the annual legislative session.
The Florida GI Bill (HB 7015), a priority of House Speaker Will Weatherford and Senate President Don Gaetz, was approved unanimously Tuesday in the House. The issue now will move to the Senate, where it also is expected pass easily.
The bill would increase educational aid for veterans and National Guard members, increase funding to upgrade the state's National Guard facilities and buy land around U.S. military bases. Also, it would set up a non-profit to attract more veterans to Florida.
The House proposal would cost the state at least $33.5 million in the next fiscal year.
Rep. Jimmie Smith, an Inverness Republican and Desert Storm veteran who has spearheaded the House version, said the legislation is intended to attract more veterans who will eventually become business owners and community leaders, similar to the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944 —– better known as the GI Bill of Rights — that was crafted to help those who served in World War II assimilate back into civilian life.
Within a decade, nearly half the 16 million World War II veterans took advantage of education or training programs made available through the GI Bill.
"They drove the nation for generations of success and I say with this piece of legislation the next greatest generation is going to start, and it's going to start right here in Florida," Smith said.
The House measure is expected to cost $12.5 million for ongoing upgrades of the state's National Guard facilities and $7.5 million to purchase land as buffer around MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Naval Station Mayport in Jacksonville and Naval Support Activity Panama City.
Meanwhile, state universities and colleges are expected to take an $11.7 million hit for the waiver from out-of-state tuition charges for all honorably discharged veterans — called the Congressman C.W. Bill Young Veteran Tuition Waiver Act.
The federal GI Bill allows veterans to only receive reimbursement for the listed cost of in-state tuition, which is seen as a deterrent for out-of-state veterans applying to Florida's schools. In-state tuition is thousands of dollars cheaper than out-of-state tuition.
The bill also creates a nonprofit corporation, Florida Is For Veterans, Inc., to encourage veterans to make Florida their home and promote the hiring of veterans.
The Senate version (SB 860) goes before the Appropriations Committee on Thursday. The committee appearance is the bill's only scheduled stop before reaching the Senate floor.
"The News Service of Florida's Jim Turner contributed to this report."

- Freehand sketch a largish heart lightly in pencil. Slightly wonky is charming. Lightly sketch initials and hearts inside. Or you can use your computer to draw it/type it, but print it backwards on your paper since you won't be able to erase your sketch lines.
- Use Xacto blade to cut out letterforms and hearts. Keep any counters you cut out (like those pieces in the middles of Os and As).
- Erase your sketch lines if you did it in pencil.
- Use hole punches to add interest. I used 1/4 and 1/8 inch in clusters.
- Cut out large heart with scallop scissors and glue to a colored piece of cardstock. Glue on the missing counters, or leave them off for a more Rob Ryan feel.

Yeah, Ground has been done, but it is a good type combo nonetheless. I have a feeling Chespin will have a bulky build, so I think a more defensive type combo would be better for it, like Grass/Steel. Grass/Dark definitely isn't a good choice here, although I'd probably love the design of Chespin's evo if it was Grass/Dark.
The resistances to Water and Electric are good, but they existe thanks to the Grass-type, not Dark. Dark gives a Psychic-type immunity, which is good, but no worth if you consider the weaknesses it brings together. Bug Pokémon aren't popular, but Bug-type moves like X-scissors and Megahorn are quite common actually. Even if its stats are oriented to a more defensive build, it wouldn't work if the type have terrible resistances. It is like giving defensive stats to an Ice-type Pokémon, it will still be terrible defensively because it has a lot of common weaknesses. Grass/Dark may sould cool (it does, everything with Dark sounds cool), but it isn't really a good combo. By the way, I am all for a Grass/Steel evo for Chespin. :P
