The Best Social Integration Plugins For WordPress Reviewed
There are over 350 WordPress plugins tagged "Share" in the WordPress plugin directory. But most of them, let's be honest, fall short, with the exception of a handful of excellent winners.
I'd say there are three facets to social integration: Engagement, Self Promotion, and Viral Value. Whilst you can force none of these, there are definitely great tools out there to make it as easy as possible for you and your readers to make noise about your site on social networks.
Without further ado, I present to you the mighty five of WordPress social integration.
Social by Mailchimp
The guys over at Mailchimp have made a considerable effort into bringing Twitter and Facebook to your WordPress website.
Social handles all three aspects of social engagement and nothing else. I really like this plugin.
Engaging The User
Social allows your readers to log in via a preferred social network and comment on the blog under that identity. Why is this good? People are comfortable with their Twitter and Facebook profiles, and don't necessarily feel like filling out a form. It also captures their information, which if you're a power user can be vital. Every logged in Twitter user gets added to your database and is also given the opportunity to tweet their comment!
Giving Your Content Viral Value
Social brings yet another commenting system to the table, which is a mashup of tweets, Facebook comments and of course WordPress comments. Whilst you may roll your eyes at someone reinventing the wheel again, it's not all bad news. Tweets stay on Twitter, Facebook comments stay on Facebook and it all gets brought into a beautiful feed of social buzz. It also allows you to filter the "social buzz" between networks by seeing who has tweeted and who has Facebooked about your content.
Promoting Your Content
When you publish a post, you have the option to "broadcast" the post to Twitter and Facebook- if they are your cup of tea. Quite simply, you link up a Twitter/Facebook account in the settings, and Social will automatically post to your accounts for you. Using various handles (i.e. {title} to show the title), you can even determine the structure of the post. It's no frills, and just works.
Score: 9/10
It's simple, does the trick, doesn't do more than you want it to and is easy to use. For social integration, this is really your one stop shop for everything except fancy share buttons. The way Social gets your readers to do the sharing for you via their own vanity (having their profiles all over the web) is ingenious.
AddThis is an excellent plugin for getting users to share your content in a very unobtrusive way. With the ability to share to over 300 services, this is certainly a catch all if you're after a "share this post" plugin. It automatically hooks into the_content(), and adds the button to the top and bottom of the post.
The cool part about AddThis, though, is that it provides analytics so you can track your content being shared across networks, and gives you detailed reports on your post's viral value. Google Analytics for social! Sweet!
Score: 9/10
Sharebar is a sweet plugin for those who like drop and go. It's entirely responsive, and highly customizable without giving you too much to think about, or control.
Probably the coolest feature of Sharebar is its ability to collapse from a vertical bar that can follow your readers down the page, to a horizontal bar that sits under the title of your post when the viewport is less than 1000px wide. That means for those out there who have (awesome) responsive themes, this plugin is a real asset.

The fact that it follows the reader down the page can either been seen as ingenious or annoying. Personally, I think Social Integration is all about coverage, and how many people share your s**t so to speak. Sharebar does a great job of giving your readers every opportunity they can to post your content to their social networks. In fact, you can set it up so there is always a share button visible, which is pretty powerful. All it takes is a single click and hundreds, even thousands of people, are exposed to your site.
You can also insert the Sharebar where you wish using the helper functions supplied, i.e. horizontal_scrollbar() can go under your meta information or at the bottom of your post. I love being able to customize every part of my site through code, so this feature I believe is there to make the developers happy. And really, it's not a tough thing to incorporate in a plugin! You can even put in specific buttons by using the sharebar_button() function. Another invaluable tool!
Score: 8/10
Despite its simplicity, this is a cool plugin. It's a plugin for the masses that is very easy to get set up and running. The fact that it follows a reader as they scrolls is cool. It could look a little prettier (as it stands out obviously as a plugin), but that's the designer in me getting frustrated! You can hack the plugin CSS, but I hate touching updatable files. As with anything, Analytics would be nice. The counters are some form of feedback I guess. Responsitivity is invaluable!
SexyBookmarks — erm "Shareaholic" had to make the list! In the past, it was called SexyBookmarks and I believe that was a very well fitted name. Plain and simple, it gave you sexy share buttons, complete with shadows, popup CSS stuff and… that's about it.
Nowadays it has a couple of extra features. It does have analytics! Which is nice, but I much prefer the analytics on AddThis. A "top bar" has been added (a la Hellobars) to share your site, and a related content widget. Not to mention telling your readers that "Sharing is Sexy!"
Score: 7/10
For a drop and go plugin, this is great. It looks good, functions well, has a relatively large amount of services you can share to and just works. That's about it though. I'd love to see some sort of SexyFollowMe addition.
Jetpack by Automattic has received somewhat controversial criticism. I reviewed it recently, and I quite like it. Some love it, some hate its reliance on the WordPress.com servers. Love it or hate it, a couple of the free modules will get you on your way to sharing and publicizing your content.
That said, it pretty much works in the same way that Social by Mailchimp does, but less. It's nice to have an "official" plugin that tackles a common problem, but I've heard of many people having troubles with consistent connections, issues with connectivity to the "mothership" i.e. Automattic's servers.
The other thing that is a bit of a pain, is that you have to activate three modules (Jetpack Comments, Publicize and Sharing) to get all the functionality that Social offers you.
Similar to Social, you can post your content right from the publish post page to a number of sites. It's actually got a lot more variety than Social, having the ability to post to Yahoo! and LinkedIn as well.
The share functionality is similar to Shareaholic, albeit not as sexy or as many services.
Score: 7/10
I was torn between 7 and 8, because it's a really nice plugin. The issue is it can rely on Automattic's servers at times, you need the whole Jetpack suite (unnecessary) and cannot have them as standalone plugins. If they were standalone, I'd rate them.
So which do I use?
It's up to you in the end. All five of these plugins do a great job at adding social functionality to your website. If you want to track viral value, AddThis is fantastic for all the stats it gives you. Social by MailChimp is my favourite for its simplicity and functionality. If you use Jetpack already, it would be silly to not use their social plugins. Sharebar and Shareaholic are two good solutions for those that like drop and go.
I'd choose Social though! What about you?

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

Amazon is currently offering post-launch discount for "Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch" and "Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch: Prima Official Game Guide"
I already have the game, but I'm debating on the guide.
The guide is okay, but not really essential since the game is so bloody easy. I can't really think of one thing I ended up using it for.
@Relientk77 I always, ALWAYS buy guides for JRPG's. Not because I need them, but because I always try to 100% them, without spoiling of course. Also, guides for JRPG's just 'feel right'. Who wants a guide for a shooter right? I have many guides for many JRPG's, all in pristine condition.
Oh, yea I would ONLY buy guides for like RPGs, or Legend of Zelda games, thats basically all my guides
You can find it on pirate bay.
I would love to get my hands on the Wizards book....

Based on an article originally published on UCSF News
The UC Board of Regents will consider approving UC San Francisco's new Child, Teen and Family Center during its meetings at UCSF Mission Bay this week.
The proposed center – made possible in part by an anonymous $50 million gift – will provide a child-, family- and adult-friendly environment that will allow UCSF to enhance and expand its offering of mental health services, as well as house the UCSF Department of Psychiatry's administrative and educational spaces.
In addition to outpatient clinical services, the approximately 170,000-square-foot facility will provide room clinical and dry research, as well as spaces for imaging, meetings, education, administration, and retail. By integrating clinical, training, and research facilities in one building, the center will allow patients and families the ability to participate in cutting-edge clinical research at a single location in close proximity to wet research labs on UCSF's Mission Bay campus and UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco. The building will also include an approximately 250-seat auditorium to host meetings, lectures, and presentations for the Department of Psychiatry and affiliated departments in the UCSF Weill Institute for Neurosciences and from across the university.
Located at 2130 Third St., one block south of UCSF's Mission Bay campus, the building will range between three and five stories – heights that fit into the current San Francisco zoning for the project site. It will feature two entrances, including one tailored for Child, Teen and Family Center patients and guests. Forty-one parking spaces for outpatient visitors will be located below ground, and the facility will be located close to multiple campus and public transit connections.
If approved, construction is estimated to begin in early 2018 and be completed in early 2020. Before construction begins, an existing three-story building and surface parking lot located at the site would be demolished.

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) FRANKFURT/LONDON, October 10 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed KAF Kaerntner Ausgleichszahlungs-Fonds' (KAF) zero-coupon bonds (XS1484645616 and XS1484645533) with an aggregate principal amount of EUR10.3 billion, due 14 January 2032, at 'AA+'. The zero-coupon bonds are explicitly, unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Republic of Austria (Austria; AA+/Stable). The affirmations reflect no changes to the guarantee mechanism nor dilution of support from the guarantor. KEY RATING DRIVERS The ratings on the zero-coupon bonds are equalised with that of Austria as the obligations under the guarantee constitute the sovereign's direct, unsecured, unconditional, irrevocable and unsubordinated debt. They also rank pari passu with the sovereign's all other unsecured and unsubordinated loan or bond indebtedness, except for obligations ranking in priority pursuant to mandatory provisions of law. KAF was established by the KAF Law in November 2015. It is a special purpose vehicle created by the Province of Carinthia (Carinthia) to acquire HETA Asset Resolution AG's (HETA) bonds that are guaranteed by Carinthia and the Holding Company of Carinthia (Kaerntner Landesholding). KAF was formed to take on risks stemming from liabilities assumed by Carinthia and the Holding Company of Carinthia through bond acquisition. The SPV also ensures Carinthia and its legal bodies have the capacity to carry out their designated tasks and prevent serious damage to the national economy. KAF submitted a tender offer to all HETA creditors on 6 September 2016 to acquire certain debt instruments of HETA. According to the offered tender HETA creditors were given the option either to settle their holdings by cash or to exchange for the zero-coupon bonds issued by KAF. The cash settlement option offered to acquire HETA's bonds at a haircut. This corresponded to 75% of senior creditors' outstanding nominal claims of EUR10.2 billion and 30% of subordinated creditors' outstanding nominal claims of EUR0.9 billion. The zero coupon bond exchange option offered senior creditors to exchange their HETA instruments for the zero coupon bond at a conversion rate of 1 to 1. Subordinated creditors had the option to exchange their HETA instruments for either a zero coupon bond at a conversion rate of 1 to 2 or unsecured assignable loans issued by Austria at a ratio of 1 to 1. As some of the subordinated creditors chose the second option, such a loan was issued as well. The tender offer was subject to the approval of a minimum of 25% of senior creditors and 25% of subordinated creditors, and two-thirds of all classes. To date, 99.55% of senior creditors and 89.42% of subordinated creditors and 98.71% of all classes have accepted the offer, so that the tender offer was successfully completed. The zero coupon bond had a repurchase commitment of the KAF. This means the issuer granted the beneficial owners of the bonds the right to require the issuer to repurchase the bonds at a fixed repurchase price calculated on a daily basis. The 180-day repurchase period started 1 December 2016 and ended 30 May 2017. On 30 May 2017, KAF repurchased zero coupon bonds with a nominal amount of EUR9,195,556,007 (89.24% of the zero coupon bond proceeds outstanding). To fund the repurchase, KAF issued bonds guaranteed by OeBFA (Oesterreichische Bundefinanzierungsagentur Ges.m.b.H.), Austrian's Treasury. RATING SENSITIVITIES An upgrade of the ratings of Austria would result in a similar rating action on the bonds, provided the guarantee remains unchanged. A negative rating action on Austria will be reflected in the rating of the bonds. Dilution of support from the guarantor as well as a change in or termination of the guarantee will result in a review of the rating of the bonds.

In issuing and maintaining its ratings and in making other reports (including forecast information), Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The manner of Fitch's factual investigation and the scope of the third-party verification it obtains will vary depending on the nature of the rated security and its issuer, the requirements and practices in the jurisdiction in which the rated security is offered and sold and/or the issuer is located, the availability and nature of relevant public information, access to the management of the issuer and its advisers, the availability of pre-existing third-party verifications such as audit reports, agreed-upon procedures letters, appraisals, actuarial reports, engineering reports, legal opinions and other reports provided by third parties, the availability of independent and competent third- party verification sources with respect to the particular security or in the particular jurisdiction of the issuer, and a variety of other factors. Users of Fitch's ratings and reports should understand that neither an enhanced factual investigation nor any third-party verification can ensure that all of the information Fitch relies on in connection with a rating or a report will be accurate and complete. Ultimately, the issuer and its advisers are responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide to Fitch and to the market in offering documents and other reports. In issuing its ratings and its reports, Fitch must rely on the work of experts, including independent auditors with respect to financial statements and attorneys with respect to legal and tax matters. Further, ratings and forecasts of financial and other information are inherently forward-looking and embody assumptions and predictions about future events that by their nature cannot be verified as facts. As a result, despite any verification of current facts, ratings and forecasts can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating or forecast was issued or affirmed. The information in this report is provided "as is" without any representation or warranty of any kind, and Fitch does not represent or warrant that the report or any of its contents will meet any of the requirements of a recipient of the report. A Fitch rating is an opinion as to the creditworthiness of a security. This opinion and reports made by Fitch are based on established criteria and methodologies that Fitch is continuously evaluating and updating. Therefore, ratings and reports are the collective work product of Fitch and no individual, or group of individuals, is solely responsible for a rating or a report. The rating does not address the risk of loss due to risks other than credit risk, unless such risk is specifically mentioned. Fitch is not engaged in the offer or sale of any security. All Fitch reports have shared authorship. Individuals identified in a Fitch report were involved in, but are not solely responsible for, the opinions stated therein. The individuals are named for contact purposes only. A report providing a Fitch rating is neither a prospectus nor a substitute for the information assembled, verified and presented to investors by the issuer and its agents in connection with the sale of the securities. Ratings may be changed or withdrawn at any time for any reason in the sole discretion of Fitch. Fitch does not provide investment advice of any sort. Ratings are not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price, the suitability of any security for a particular investor, or the tax-exempt nature or taxability of payments made in respect to any security. Fitch receives fees from issuers, insurers, guarantors, other obligors, and underwriters for rating securities. Such fees generally vary from US$1,000 to US$750,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent) per issue. In certain cases, Fitch will rate all or a number of issues issued by a particular issuer, or insured or guaranteed by a particular insurer or guarantor, for a single annual fee. Such fees are expected to vary from US$10,000 to US$1,500,000 (or the applicable currency equivalent). The assignment, publication, or dissemination of a rating by Fitch shall not constitute a consent by Fitch to use its name as an expert in connection with any registration statement filed under the United States securities laws, the Financial Services and Markets Act of 2000 of the United Kingdom, or the securities laws of any particular jurisdiction. Due to the relative efficiency of electronic publishing and distribution, Fitch research may be available to electronic subscribers up to three days earlier than to print subscribers.

One of the incongruities of the Illinois School Code in this age of high technology was that the only curriculum the state mandated for all four years of high school was physical education. That was changed last year with passage of the Education Reform Act that also increased high school graduation requirements for English, science and math.
Now the legislative oversight committee, spurred by complaints from some school districts, physical education teachers and their unions, is considering watering down the reforms. The P.E. teachers, of course, fear a reduction in jobs. The old law was sometimes known by wags as the ``Coach Preservation Act.``

The Vampire Diaries
Official Convention
Friday, Saturday & Sunday
November 30 - December 2, 2018
263 N Center St,
Mesa, AZ 85201
TIMES OF EVENT: Please note that our times are dependent on guest flight itineraries and because we are dealing with actors who are often filming we do not know these itineraries until much closer to the convention date. As a generalization, but not a guarantee this early, we usually will have preregistration on Thursday night for those coming all three days (not a necessity but a convenience). Friday programming begins around noon and ends at about 6 pm with autographs and karaoke into the evening. Saturday we usually start about 9am and run until about 7 pm with autographs and the Saturday party running until late evening. Sunday we usually start early and autographs, depending on guests, can run into the evening. We always suggest that if you don't want to miss any autographs on Sunday that you plan on staying late or staying over in the hotel Sunday night. Once again, these times are totally tentative as we do not yet know the flights of the guests. Thanks and enjoy your stay with us!
The Vampire Diaries & The Originals earned a place in all of our hearts with their deep characters, dramatic stories and captivating romance. The Vampire Diaries moved so many fans that it had the rare accomplishment of producing an amazing spin-off series in The Originals that has taken on a life of its own. Join us as we celebrate both The Vampire Diaries & The Originals at The Vampire Diaries & Originals Official Convention Phoenix!
See the stars of The Vampire Diaries & The Originals, off the screen and in person for three days full of excitement, music and fun! Meet your favorite actors and interact with them in ways you never thought possible. This convention is different from any you've ever been to before. We guarantee you a seat to see all the stars, so there's no camping out or hoping to just catch a glimpse. Your only concern is having the time of your life alongside them!

Creation Entertainment has the right to refuse service to anyone who interferes with the safety and well-being of other patrons, staff, actors, Creation Entertainment and the establishment itself. This includes, but is not limited to, harassment of any kind both in advance and/or at a particular event, illegal activity, unreasonable rowdiness, patrons lacking adequate hygiene and inconsideration to others. Refusal of service shall never be based on race or color, National origin or citizenship status, religion or creed, sex, age, disability, pregnancy or genetic information, Veteran or Military status, marital status, sexual orientation or gender identity, medical condition, political affiliations or activities, or status as a victim of domestic violence, assault or stalking. If you have any issues with anyone, please ask to speak to Adam, Gary or Stephanie immediately. One or more of them is available at each of our conventions and they can be reached through registration or by the convention MC/Host.
Regarding the issue of alcoholic beverages at the convention: we do not allow alcohol to be present in our function rooms including the main theatre. This includes daily panel events and the Saturday night concert. We kindly ask, for the evening event(s), you do not bring bags unless necessary. Water stations will be available in the room and, for those that have special medical needs, you can discreetly discuss those with security before entering and we will do bag checks. We regret that we've had to take this measure, but we must protect our audience and celebrities. We retain the right not to allow entrance into any of the events to anyone who shows up appearing intoxicated.
ADA Rules on service animals: This event welcomes service animals as per The ADA rules. Service animals perform valuable work or tasks and are trained to provide help directly related to a person's disability. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA and therefore are not permitted at our event.
All guests are announced when contracted, and all convention contracts include clauses allowing actors to cancel if they get film and/or television work. In the rare case of a guest cancellation we always try to do our best to replace performers. We cannot, however, refund tickets for a convention admission based on a guest cancellation, beyond of course specific autograph and/or photo op tickets which are not included in packages.
For those attending our conventions and making travel plans: please know that the majority of guests that appear on stage do so usually in the later part of the day (although that is sometimes different for actors working on a current series). Sometimes autographing runs into the evening or later when guests appear late in the day. Because we have to wait for guests to give us their flight information we cannot tell you in advance when these autograph sessions will occur until the convention schedule is posted at this website a few days before the event. For those out of towners that want to guarantee autographs of stars appearing on Sunday we do suggest staying over or planning a later leaving time. More recently both Jensen and Jared's autographs have occurred starting around 6:30pm Sunday though there is no guarantee of that for this particular show.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL! We do suggest buying tickets only from the original source: through this website. Because all tickets are scanned for use at the convention we can ONLY allow the first person in using each singular ticket. Autograph and photo op tickets are also scanned for one time use. WE'VE NOTICED A PICKUP IN BOGUS TICKETS and well-meaning fans being ripped off by those that have just resold copied tickets.
Flashes occur from phone and cameras often during stage presentations. If you are sensitive to such lighting please be advised to take the necessary precautions. For our attendees please keep flash photography to a minimum and try to learn how to get the best pictures in different lighting situations. Generally flash is not the best way to take photos at the convention. We will attempt to have a more detailed note page of getting the best pictures at conventions available soon.
Unlike other genre conventions, Creation Entertainment has a strict policy to not "oversell" tickets. Every attendee, no matter what ticket they purchase, will have a seat in the main auditorium to see the major guests and join the main events! We believe in a more personal convention for fans, by fans, that leaves you with memories that last a lifetime!

We're happy to welcome talented Micah Parker as the convention host/MC for the entire convention including Friday Night's Karaoke Party.

1) Reserved Seats:
Reserved seats of your choosing in the Gold section of the main theatre where all of the major guests appear and events happen! These seats are yours exclusively all three days, no fighting for a good seat or having to defend your domain!
2) In-person Autographs:
Included in your Gold Package are in-person autographs from amazing celebrity guests! JOSEPH MORGAN, IAN SOMERHALDER, PAUL WESLEY, CLAIRE HOLT, DANIEL GILLIES, MICHAEL MALARKEY, MICAH PARKER, DAVID ALPAY and CHASE COLEMAN are included in your Gold Package. Autographs for everyone included purchased separately would cost almost as much as this package, and that's without the amazing Gold benefits!
3) First In Line For Autographs:
Be among the first in line to get autographs from the stars included in the Gold package!
4) Preregistration:
Gold gives you priority preregistration before other guests so you can beat the rush, plus get first dibs on exclusive merchandise and any remaining autograph or photo op tickets! Preregistration generally takes place the night before the convention starts and isn't a necessity, but can help make your weekend be as smooth as possible.
5) Collectible Badge Credentials & Special Wristband Access:
Special color-coded wristbands and collectible lanyard credentials only for Gold Package holders! The wristbands get you fast-tracked into the show without waiting at registration, and the badge credentials show off your Gold status to everyone else at the show. These keepsakes will make your friends jealous and remind you of your amazing time for the rest of your life.
6) Saturday Evening Celebrity Concert:
Your favorite celebrities in a night of performance like you've never seen before, and Gold gets you in! Tentatively participating are our house band SAMURAI FISH featuring David Alpay, Mercy Mode with Chase Coleman and Micah Parker, and a special performance by Michael Malarkey.
7) Early Merchandise Area Access:
Our vendor area is overflowing with official Vampire Diaries and The Originals products to offer attendees! Plus, you get early access to the area during preregistration!
8) Two Gold Exclusive Panels:
Enjoy two Gold Exclusive half hour panels! Saturday's panel features Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley, and on Sunday see Joseph, Claire, and Daniel on stage together for the first time ever on one of our tours! Both panels are more intimate events where the celebrities can interact more directly with you, the fans, and are in addition to their regular appearances.
9) Karaoke Friday Night Party:
A karaoke party like you've never seen, hosted by Micah Parker and featuring Chase Coleman and David Alpay! Have a bewitching moment on stage and sing your favorite songs with some of the stars of The Vampire Diaries & The Originals as YOUR backup singers! Admission is FREE!
Please note that this is a GENERAL ADMISSION EVENT, so you do not keep your same seats you had during the day.
10) Like your seats? Keep Them!:
If you love your seats for the weekend, or want to try and upgrade to even better seats for next year? You get early access to registering for the 2019 TVD show in PHOENIX, AZ so you can do just that! (If applicable)

Here is another great way to make your vacation to sun-kissed Phoenix extra special! By being a SILVER WEEKEND PACKAGE HOLDER at the convention, you'll be able to personally meet many of the shows' top stars as well as all these extra benefits listed below. This is what you get when you choose the "SILVER WEEKEND" for this convention:
1) A special reserved seat in the main theatre where our guests will appear, along with where all the events and contests occur! This seat is YOURS, and you are free to come and go, throughout all three days. Your seat is directly behind or (at some conventions) to the side of the Gold Weekend Package seats!
2) You get to pick your actual seat in the theatre with our ticketing chart system!
3) Complimentary in-person autographs with these great guests, including JOSEPH MORGAN, PAUL WESLEY, DANIEL GILLIES, CLAIRE HOLT, DAVID ALPAY, MICAH PARKER, and CHASE COLEMAN. If you bought these separately, the in-person autographs would cost a very large percentage of the actual total price of the package, therefore "Going SILVER" is an outstanding offer! Take advantage of this awesome deal and pick your specific seat today! The stars included in this packages are tentative and subject to change.
4) Be among the first to get autographs with those featured in #3! During the Gold and Silver designated autograph sessions, we call row by row with Gold Patrons first, then Silver Weekend Patrons.

The Thursday night session is only for our weekend package customers. Not only do you get to register early, you are among those who get first crack at exclusive merchandise, available autographs and photo ops!

8) Admission to the vendors area!

The show schedule is finalized the week of the convention to accommodate flight itineraries and filming schedules of our celebrities. Convention activities usually start around 10:00 a.m. but may begin earlier depending on schedules. Stage programming also usually ends around 6:00 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. and some autograph sessions begin after stage programming is complete for the day. This can run until 10:00 p.m. so PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY! Signings start later on Sundays, so we recommend that you plan to stay late or stay overnight. The final schedule is always posted one day PRIOR TO THE CONVENTION on either WEDNESDAY (for our three-day conventions) or THURSDAY (for our two-day conventions).
Our best advice is to plan for these time variabilities and check the schedule as soon as it is available.
All guests and scheduling are tentative and subject to change.

By attending Creation events you agree to allow your image to be used on our website and in news documentaries or stories, either filmed by Creation Entertainment or other entities.
All ticket prices are subject to change, please order as early as possible.
In the unlikely event of a cancellation of the convention, or a date change, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for refunding airfare or any other costs other than the payments made directly to Creation Entertainment for ticketing. Also in the unlikely event, due to weather, transit issues or last-minute illness or other reason given by celebrity, an advertised guest does not make their appearance at the convention, Creation Entertainment is not responsible for any refunds other than separate specific to the guest autograph tickets or photo op tickets. In the extremely rare chance that a guest does not finish his or her autographs or photo ops (which has only happened in a handful of cases over 40-plus years, always due to something out of our control) Creation Entertainment will only be responsible for the refund of the separate autograph or photo op ticket.
In the extremely rare case (which has never happened before) that our computer systems accept more tickets than we have allotted for, we would refund ticket money to the last several people (in order) who did manage to get a confirmation or ticket. As we've said it has never happened but we want to have a fair scenario in place it if does occur.
Flashes occur from phone and cameras often during stage presentations. If you are sensitive to such lighting please be advised to take the necessary cautions.

Community & Alumni
There are many pathways for admission into CDU, which has campuses all over Australia, including Darwin, Melbourne and Sydney plus many regional centres in-between. We offer most of our courses on an external basis to reach anyone ready to continue their education journey.
Depending on your chosen course, our flexible semester entry means you may be able to start in Semester 1 (Feb), Semester 2 (Jul) or Summer Semester (Nov). All important dates are available for you to become familiar with the annual University cycle.
For guidance on where to start contact our professional staff at Student Central.
Admission criteria
Entry Pathways
Applicants with higher education study
Previous students who have completed at least a 0.5 year of full-time study (or equivalent) can apply based on their GPA. The minimum GPA is 2.24 for most courses at CDU.
Completed bridging or enabling course (18 yrs and over)
For students who don't meet course entry requirements or need a hand to get into the swing of study, we offer a free Tertiary Enabling Program (TEP) or Preparation for Tertiary Success (PTS) for Indigenous students. With TEP or PTS, you'll have the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence you'll need to succeed at university.
You can complete the program online or on campus in as little as 16 weeks, and you'll then meet the requirements to apply for entry to most CDU undergraduate degrees. CDU also accepts similar bridging programs offered at universities around Australia.
Applicants with vocational education and training (VET) study
Applicants who have completed a national qualification at Certificate IV or above meet the minimum entry requirements to most courses CDU.
Applicants with special tertiary admissions test (19 years and over)
If you are applying for a CDU course that accepts special entry, you may choose to sit the STAT or be considered by your previous STAT result. A result of 135 or more received after 2009 or 145 before 2009. Students who have completed more than 12 months full-time study in the last three years are not eligible to run on STAT.
Applicants with work and life experience
Applicants that successfully completed year 12 receiving an ATAR (or equivalent) can continue to compete with that qualification until they have completed more than 18 months of higher education. If you have not received an ATAR (or equivalent) or other qualifications you can submit a Personal Competencies Statement and/or Employment Experience. This provides applicants with the opportunity to demonstrate that they meet the following criteria:
- Tertiary Preparation and maturity
- Independent Learning Strategies
- Interpersonal and Communication Skills
- Achievement and experience
- Skills and Knowledge
Further information on how to write the Personal Competencies statement according to the guidelines can be found on the SATAC website.
Applicants with recent secondary education (within the past two years)
You will meet the entry requirements to most courses with a minimum ATAR (or equivalent) of 60, however, some courses are more competitive than others and may cut with a higher score. Visit Find a course and check the course detail page of your chosen course to see the ATAR cut-off score.
ATAR related adjustments
CDU offers two bonus point schemes:
- University Equity Scheme for Year 12 completers from selected schools.
- Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Bonus Scheme. Offered to Year 12 completers who studied specific subjects at school.
|Bonus type
|Number of bonus points
|Universities Equity Scheme
|Universities Language, Literacy and Mathematics Bonus Scheme
|2 or 4
|Total Maximum bonus Points
Any bonuses applied by the universities will be added to the university aggregate (not the ATAR) from which selection ranks are calculated.
Criteria that may apply in addition to ATAR
Bachelor of Clinical Science
It is expected that applicants will need to achieve an ATAR of 90 or above, 85 for indigenous students (after the addition of any Universities Equity Scheme) to be competitive for a place in this course. Ranking for offers of places will be based on an entry score combining ATAR (90%), and Undergraduate Medicine and Health Sciences Admission Test (UMAT) - derived score (10%).
All courses in the field of education
Applicants must complete a non-academic assessment to demonstrate their motivation to teach, their strong interpersonal and communication skills, willingness to learn, resilience, self-efficacy, and strong organisational and planning skills.
Special consideration
Special consideration may be given to applicants who have special circumstances, including a long-term medical condition, that may have disadvantaged them in their studies and which they wish to be taken into account in the assessment of their application.
Applicants who seek special consideration as part of the application process will be able to download a confidential questionnaire and information on the supporting documentation that will be required.
Current year 12 students cannot seek special consideration through the SATAC process.
In South Australia and the Northern Territory, year 12 students who have special circumstances should seek consideration from the SACE Board. Information is available from their website at www.sace.sa.edu.au.
Year 12 students studying elsewhere in Australia (not South Australia or the Northern Territory) who have special circumstances should seek consideration from the board of studies in their state/territory or directly from their school.
Additional information
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
Applicants that do not meet the University's minimum entry requirements are invited to enrol in the free of charge Preparation for Tertiary Success Program which has been specially designed for Indigenous students.
If you have not studied in a while or completed year 12 and are unsure about whether you can succeed, our PTS program helps you to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence you need to be successful at university.
Successful completion will give you the minimum entry requirements for most Diploma and Bachelor programs at the Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education (ACIKE), Charles Darwin University (CDU) and universities in South Australia.
Diploma of Yolngu Studies
If you do not meet the minimum entry requirements, you may still be considered for entry into this course if you are:
- a native speaker of a Yolngu language
- recognised by the Yolngu advisors to the school as having basic literacy skills or experience in research or education
- in regular contact with Yolngu and can demonstrate a sound knowledge of culture and language proficiency.
Domestic applicants with overseas qualifications
Overseas qualifications deemed to be equivalent to meeting the minimum entry requirements by (NOOSR) are eligible to apply based on these.
English language proficiency
IELTS remains the principal English language proficiency qualification (equivalent courses accepted). All tests are valid for two years from the date of the test to the date of commencement at CDU, unless otherwise specified.
How to apply
If you are a first-time applicant or didn't complete your previous study with us, you should apply through SATAC to gain a place in the course.
If students have successfully completed one of the following courses at CDU, they can apply directly to CDU via MyNextCourse:
- a completed TAFE/VET Certificate IV or above qualification

In determining the form of a business entity investors should always consider the effect of state taxes. In this regard, it is important to note that certain pass-through entities (i.e. entities where the income is taxed at the investors' level) that are not subject to income taxation must nevertheless pay certain minimum state-level taxes.

Euphoria Technology™
Improve your Life
The modern world is fascinated by the constant progression of technology that each day expands the boundaries of our limitations, giving us a new insight to the past and also to the future. Technology is developing faster and faster in many areas of life. The technicians at IPC believe that the development of the strongest life improvement technology should evolve from the study of Mother Nature.
IPC has invented a new and amazing technology which is named Euphoria Technology™ . This completely new and unique technology development simply has no comparison or competition on the planet from any individual or company. This condition of an aligned PVA field (Proton Vibration Alignment Field) which Euphoria Technology™ creates is a phenomenon which rarely occurs in the natural world. There are only a handful of locations on earth where a PVA Field is naturally present. In these few and select locations all living things thrive healthily and abundantly. In these "phenomenal" areas the PVA Field presence is uncontrolled, inconsistent, and subject to tectonic activity. This makes any naturally occurring PVA Field completely unreliable for any industrial use. The beauty of Euphoria Technology™ is the ability to generate a PVA Field that is both capably designed and stable upon activation. This has opened up a vast range of application possibilities and has enabled IPC to explore potential uses in many different areas, with no negative side effect ever being reported.
IPC products do not contain any materials or substances that are radioactive, toxic or corrosive, which means they are completely sustainable and safe to use.
Although there are many individuals and companies working on improving the life on this planet, Euphoria Technology™ reliably supports the development and protection of nature's most valuable creation – humanity.
13 years ago IPC began to develop Euphoria Technology™ using the platform of quantum physics to realign extremely small particles and control the phase of natural particle vibration.
An atom has 3 main components – Protons, Electrons and Neutrons. Inside the atom protons and electrons move randomly. The Euphoria Technology™ aligns the vibration and movement of protons and electrons from an uncontrolled movement into an aligned movement in a PVA Field (Proton Vibration Alignment).
It is a change from the condition of chaos into harmony. In this new state of alignment the structure, efficiency, and quality of the atom is fundamentally enhanced. Within limits which are continuously expanding, IPC can control the duration, strength, and space of this improvement.
Euphoria Technology™ is based on quantum mechanics operating on the scale of pico technology. Most of the world's scientists and companies are working with NANO technology. However IPC works on the level of PICO technology, which is much more efficient, refined, complex, and 1000 times smaller than NANO technology.
All areas of life can be improved because everything on the planet shares the common denominator which is that their existence, performance, and natural properties are all based on atoms.
Euphoria Technology™ was first applied in the field of medical imagery to improve the resolution of ultrasonic scanning and since has been restructured by IPC to develop and commercialize a range of products to make the best use of its unique technology.
This new Euphoria Technology™ invented by IPC is an extremely effective and successful technology. It is a completely new approach for which there is no comparison anywhere. It has been successfully applied to products in many different industries.
Since Euphoria Technology™ controls the behavior of extremely small and basic particles such as protons and electrons in the atom, this makes the range of applications incredibly unlimited. It can be effectively applied to handle among others: harmful EMF (Electro Magnetic Fields) and managing the actual problems with cell phones, improving the microblood circulation in our bodies, pain removal, sleep enhancement, imaging and video resolution enrichment, improving acoustic performance of audio equipment, speeding up enzymatic activities, improving combustion efficiency in all types of engines resulting in reduced fuel consumption and reduced harmful emission while increasing horsepower and torque, enhancing animal and plant growth, doubling the shelf life of food, speeding up sewage treatment, lowering the cost of bio-fuel production, improving drug absorption, strengthening the taste and smell of food, increasing the nutrient value of fruit, improving the potency of nutrition and nutritional supplements, improving the sound of musical instruments, improving skin condition, and more.
Nano-Technology versus Pico-Technology
While Nano-Technology is known and accepted by scientists and the various industries as the most advanced micro technology, IPC works on the level of Pico-Technology. Hardly anyone knows that this technology exists, and in fact there are only a few people who have even heard the term PICO-Technology.
PICO refers to the manipulation of matter on the scale of trillionths of a meter (1012), which is 1000 times smaller than a nanometer (109), and is much more advanced than traditional Nano-Technology. Individual atoms range in size from ten to hundreds of picometers. As a proton is of an equally charged state to that of an electron, the aligning of positively charged protons also aligns equally the negatively charged electrons. The natural properties of all existing matter are enhanced through this re-alignment process.
To this point Nano-Technology has represented the smallest particles one can work with. Nano = 1 billionth of a meter 10-9
However IPC works with Pico-Technology which is 1000 times smaller than Nano Technology. Pico = 1 trillionth of a meter 10-12
This is QUANTUM PHYSICS at its finest.
Quantum Physics knows no time or space.

Sears Holdings Corp. made two big announcements as it continues its attempts to reverse its flagging fortunes. It will sell 11 anchor pad locations to General Growth Properties in a $270 million deal. In addition, the company has announced plans to separate its Sears Hometown and Outlet Businesses and certain hardware stores through a rights offering.
In the anchor deal, Sears will sell Sears full-line store locations at 11 General Growth Properties assets to the mall REIT. The transaction is expected to close in the next 45 to 60 days, subject to customary closing conditions. The stores in the transaction include Sears-owned properties at the Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville, Iowa; The Woodlands Mall in The Woodlands, Texas; West Oaks Mall in Ocoee, Fla.; Fashion Place in Murray, Utah; Quail Springs Mall in Oklahoma City and Provo Towne Centre in Provo, Utah. The leased locations are in Ala Moana Center in Honolulu; Bellis Fair in Bellingham, Wash.; Mall of the Bluffs in Council Bluffs, Iowa; Apache Mall in Rochester, Minn. and Market Plae Shopping Center in Champaign, Ill.
The stores will continue to operate as Sears locations into 2013 with final closing dates to be determined and announced later this year.
"This portfolio represents a significant opportunity to recapture valuable real estate within our portfolio," General Growth COO Shobi Khan said in a statement. "This acquisition also enhances several expansion and redevelopment opportunities including re-tenanting the anchor space and adding new in-line GLA."
