Forest River Inc., Canada-based CanaDream Corp. and Australia-based Apollo Motorhomes announced Monday (Nov. 30) the emergence of AmeriDream — an RV rental venture positioned to capture significant market share and further promote the growth of RV tourism in the U.S.
"The venture provides an enormous benefit to our dealers and travelers here and abroad," said Peter Liegl, Forest River president and CEO, in a news release. "Dealers within our network will be able to better manage their domestic booking and gain exposure to the lucrative international market virtually overnight. AmeriDream dealers will be able to seamlessly integrate the advanced systems and access the extensive international wholesale network behind the continual growth of CanaDream."
Brian Gronberg, president and CEO of CanaDream Corp., said, "Being able to take advantage of the rapid growth of international RV travelers coming to America is the only way to maximize both utilization and nightly rates. Our systems, networks and Internet strategy will make AmeriDream the preferred RV vendor for the international audience."
According to a study by Ypartnership titled "National Travel MONITOR," 66% of U.S. leisure travelers now use the Internet to plan some aspect of their travel (versus 35% in 2000).
Industry forecasts indicate Forest River's entrance into the RV rental market is opportune. In what is considered to be a down market, the Recreational Vehicle Rental Association (RVRA), reports rental activity will be up 12% this year.
AmeriDream enters a market dominated by Cruise America and El Monte RV.
Forest River is a leading manufacturer of leisure vehicles in the United States, based in Elkhart, Ind. Founded in 1996 by Liegl, it has grown into a company of 5,500 employees and 71 facilities throughout the nation. In 2005, the company was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Berkshire Hathaway is headquartered in Omaha, Neb.
CanaDream is one of the largest RV rental companies in Canada. The company operates a fleet of approximately 700 units from nine gateway cities across the nation. CanaDream's leadership position has been achieved through a combination of substantial investments in proprietary technology related to its operations, its extensive international wholesale network and the upgrading and maintenance of its rental fleet. CanaDream is publicly traded (symbol: CDN) on the Canadian Venture Exchange.
Apollo is the largest privately owned leisure vehicle operator in the Southern Hemisphere with a fleet of over 3,000 vehicles and 300 employees. It has 10 branches in Australia, two in New Zealand and three in the U.S.

Filed under: Capitalism, China, Economy, Energy, Environment | Tags: 50% Higher Electricity Costs, Excessive EPA Regulation
The economy is still in the doldrums and unemployment remains at a troubling 8.9 percent, gas prices are high and creeping higher, consumer confidence is falling and nothing is expected to improve anytime soon. This would seem to be the ideal time to reduce rules and regulations on the economy that might threaten growth and new jobs. Not this administration. They simply do not seem to understand the connection.
So, naturally, this is the time that the Environmental Protection Agency has chosen to increase their regulation of greenhouse gas emissions. Like all EPA rules, the new regulations will adversely affect traditional power plants and prop up administration-favored renewable energy.
According to the EPA we will all be able to breathe easier, while up to 17,000 premature deaths per year will be prevented. This is absolute nonsense. "Reducing toxic power-plant emissions will cut fine-particle pollution and prevent thousands of premature deaths and tens of thousands of heart attacks, bronchitis cases and asthma attacks. The EPA estimates the value of the improvements to health alone would total $59 billion to $140 billion in 2016. This means that for every dollar spent to reduce pollution from power plants, we get $5 to $13 in health benefits."
When economist Christina Romer went back to Berkeley, she must have left her computer programs that came up with "numbers of jobs created and saved" to the EPA, where they are coming up with all sorts of mythical deaths prevented. I have never seen a single article that points out an epidemic of people dying from fine-particle pollution.
The EPA says the annual cost to meet the new regulation will be about $11 billion in 2016, and it will only increase customers electric bills by three or four dollars a month. Only.
The American Council for Capital Formation puts the cost of the EPA's rules at 46,000 to 1.4 million lost jobs and $25 billion to $75 billion in lost capital investment by 2014, along with a $500 billion reduction in GDP, while boosting gasoline and electricity costs by 50%.
Sen. Max Baucus has introduced a bill to exempt agricultural sources from the rules, which should take care of EPA's push to regulate farm dust. Sen. Mitch McConnell's amendment would strip the EPA of authority under the Clean Air Act to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. His amendment has a chance of passing the Senate, but it probably does not have enough votes to override a presidential veto.
Our commenter Rachel Jimenez suggested that the EPA should be defunded and sent to China. That sounded like such a good idea that I went to the EPA website to investigate. The interactive timeline they have of EPA activities certainly shows a big increase in EPA regulation and rules under Administrator Lisa Jackson, which seemed a little odd since reports of the quality of our air and water have been remarkably positive.
In prowling around a little more, I found that Administrator Lisa Jackson has a staff of 17,000 busy workers. Seventeen thousand! Some 30 EPA employees shared a Nobel Peace Prize in October, 2007 for their work with the IPCC on global warming. There are 15 Offices under Administrator Jackson, 10 Regional Offices, 7 Research and Development Labs, 3 Air and Radiation Labs, 4 Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention Labs.
There is a Chesapeake Bay Program, a Great Lakes Program, A Gulf of Mexico Program. There are 10 Labs supporting the 10 Regional Offices. There are 8 Science Advisory Organizations, and a Columbia River Basin Program, a Puget Sound Georgia Basin Program and a U.S. Mexico Border Program to start next year. That is a very large organization, and impressive.
Most of our nation's major environmental problems have been solved. The EPA in searching for something more to regulate, is down to very fine particles in the air, unnoticed up to now, and I'm sorry, but I don't buy all the deaths they are going to prevent. Sounds like bureaucratic busywork to me, and pretty ephemeral busywork at that.
China, on the other hand, has enormous environmental problems: thick smog, poisonous air, poisoned lakes, you name it. Their problems are so severe that other nations complain that their own good works hardly matter with China belching out huge amounts of noxious fumes.
China needs the Environmental Protection Agency to solve their enormous environmental problems. The EPA needs a real job to do.
This is what the EPA was designed for: fixing the environment. They're good at that. They could go on finding ever more microscopic particles to regulate, but it simply costs too much and is too damaging. Sell them to China.
Our economy improves from reduced debt and the absence of the EPA. The Chinese economy improves from a cleaner environment and healthier workers. It is a Win—Win solution for both nations.

Donations needed for Caged Hen Display at LGBT Pride
One of the most effective displays that we use at the BAVeg info booth is a life-size replica of battery caged hens, with a sign telling people why and encouraging them to stop eating eggs. This is a very striking display and people always stop to look and read the sign, and yes, take photographs.
The photo from the BAVeg booth at Pride 2007 shows what the display looks like with three stacked cages (the middle cage is the one we own, and the other 2 were borrowed). We no longer have access to the other 2 cages.
So, to recreate this display, it is costing us $237.40 to purchase 1 cage and rent the 2nd. If we can raise $400, we can purchase both displays to use on an ongoing basis. Any additional donations over this cost will be use towards costs for the booth space, booth structure rental, insurance, literature and other costs of the booth.
DONATIONS NEEDED — Please support this effort with a donation to help defray the cost. All donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law, as BAVeg is a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Donations can be made payable and sent to Bay Area Vegetarians, P.O. Box 371215, Montara, CA 94037-1215
We can also accept donations via credit and debit cards, as well as PayPal
SPECIAL REQUEST — The late Polly Strand, who originally donated the cage to us, enhanced the display with fake poop hanging on the top of the cage. It has fallen off over the years, and now we have a new cage. Is anyone artistically inclined to manufacture more fake poop that we can use? This simulate what happens in the real conditions (looking for visual image only, no olfactory recreations).

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Behind a well-rounded team effort, the Brandeis University volleyball team kicked off the Judges Classic in style, defeating Lasell College in straight sets on the opening night of the two-day tournament. The Judges improved to 17-11 on the season, while the Lasers fell to 6-24. Set scores were 25-21, 25-13, 25-7.
Brandeis jumped out to an 18-9 lead in the opening set behind kills from four different players. A sloppy spell let Lasell get back into the game. The Lasers reeled off an 11-2 run behind seven attack errors and a service error from the Judges. Up 22-20, Brandeis traded points with Lasell before rattling off two-straight points to end the set. Outside hitter Si-Si Hensley (Fullerton, Calif./Troy) led the team with four kills in the set.
From there, the Judges ran away with the match. Leading 9-7 in the second, Brandeis went on a 16-6 run to take the set 25-13. The team used three different 6-0 runs in the third set to close things out at 25-7.
Outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) led the team with 11 kills, while middle blocker Carly Gutner-Davis (Del Mar, Calif./Canyon Crest Acad.) had a career high with 10. Middle blocker Becca Fischer (San Antonio, Texas/Clark) had nine kills in just 14 attempts for an impressive .571 hitting percentage, and also led the team with three blocks. Setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) chipped in 38 assists.
The Judges had all hands on deck defensively, as 12 different players registered a dig. Libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./Southington) led the way with 18 of them, while defensive specialist Susan Sun (Acton, Mass./Acton-Boxborough) chipped in 12.
The Lasers were well balanced offensively. Heather Longley (N. Granby, Conn./Granby) led the team with four kills, while three different players finished with three. Jordan Seid (Rowland Heights, Calif./John A. Rowland) led Lasell with 11 digs, while Alyssa Nahigian (Coventry, RI/Coventry) finished with nine assists and eight digs.
The Judges finish off the home portion of their schedule tomorrow. The squad takes on Keene State College at 12:00 p.m. before closing things out at 4:00 p.m. against the Westfield State Owls. A ceremony will take place before the second match to honor Brandeis' three seniors: Lauren Berens (Boulder, Colo./Fairview), Fischer and Sun.

Additionally, they also get free unlimited nationwide calling, along with 18 popular features. All these services – cable TV, Internet, and phone – cost $29.99 per month each. Clearly, this is a huge savings package. You save $10 on your Internet subscription every month. Further, while the Spectrum TV subscription in Tyringham Massachusetts usually costs $59.99 per month, as part of the bundle, it now costs only $29.99 per month. Thus, you will be saving $40 a month on your cable TV and Internet. The fact that you also get unlimited national calling for another $29.99 is just an icing on the cake. Finally, you pay as little as $89.97 for all the three services together.
If you thought that this couldn't get any better, wait till you hear more. Charter Spectrum™ offers three Triple Play packages, and when you sign up for either of them, you get free HD services for an entire year.
The next bundled package on the offer is the Triple Play Silver. This package comes with more than 175 channels, with free HD channels and DVR service for 1 year. You get to enjoy all the channels offered under Triple Play Select, plus a lot of premium content with this package such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and more. Bundled with this are the Internet services with 60Mbps speed, and phone service with unlimited nationwide calling, and 18 popular features. This package is priced only $20 more than what you pay for Triple Play Select, which comes to $109.97 only.
Then, there is the third package on offer – Triple Play Gold. This is the highest package and offers everything that Charter Communications has to offer. That includes everything offered under Triple Play Silver, and more. For starters, that means more than 200 cable channels, including Free HD channels, and 1 year DVR service. Additionally, it comes with all premium content such as Encore, Starz, Cinemax, HBO, Showtime, and so on.
Then, there are the high speed Internet service with 60Mbps speed, and phone service with unlimited nationwide calling and 18 popular features. All of this comes at just $20 per month more than the price of Triple Play Silver. So, the Triple Play Gold comes to a total of $129.97, which is an excellent deal, considering what is on offer. When you sign up for any of these bundles, you get free installation, free Wi-Fi setup, and DVR service for up to one year.
With Charter Spectrum™ in Tyringham Massachusetts, you will truly experience the freedom of super fast Internet speeds. You will completely forget the days when you had to wait minutes to enjoy your music, or wait hours to download a massive file. All of that will now take seconds to a few minutes.

Transfer news: Aly Cissokho welcomes Liverpool link, but says no talks held
Valencia's Aly Cissokho has welcomed renewed talk of a move to Liverpool, but says no transfer talks have been held.
By Giscard Gourizro
Last Updated: 09/07/13 12:47pm
The France international has been regularly linked with a switch to England ever since he burst onto the European scene at Porto.
He has kept Premier League suitors waiting - taking in a three-year stint at Lyon before moving to Spain in 2012.
There is, however, every chance that a transfer could be put in place this summer, with financial difficulties at Valencia leaving them open to offers for their prized assets.
Cissokho admits he would welcome the opportunity to experience life at Anfield, but is reluctant to speculate on where his future will lie until a formal approach is made.
The 25-year-old full-back said: "I will not believe that I am going anywhere until I am in Liverpool and having a medical.
"Liverpool is such a great club, so to be linked with them is fantastic. But there is nothing concrete from anyone at the moment.
"If there is an opportunity to join such a club, I will take it. Valencia are a great club, in a great city, but Liverpool are a legendary club."

Slayingthehalcyon (bureaucrat)
— Slayingthehalcyon Talk Contributions Edit Count
With the Curse move happening pretty soon, it'll be the best for us to pick an admin, and a bureaucrat for that matter. Slaying has been a great user for as long as he's been here. He enforces the 25 edit requirement rule, pays attention to vandalism, and has been a great asset to the team. While he doesn't have the rollback flag, at this point we need someone who will be able to do all this. I don't want to jump ahead and have him go to bureaucrat without having gone from rollback to admin first, but things must be done.
I didn't want to do this so soon because I feel Slaying has some maturing that still needs to happen. But he is honestly the only person I trust at this point in time to become a user with rights. I feel Slaying has a good enough judgement so that when the time comes for needing admins, he'll pick them wisely and will be able to support/oppose with good judgement. --– Jazzi (talk) 19:23, August 4, 2012 (UTC)

Bermuda (demotion)
— Bermuda Talk Contributions Edit Count
Requesting for my own demotion; while I can demote myself, I would like to have others opinions. While I had a demotion ready for the near future (somewhere around December) as retirement from Wikia to focus on reality, I never knew it would come this early. I have a lot of personal things to handle right now and later on, especially since it is going to be a stressful year. Taking a break sounds nice, but frankly, I'm no longer feeling that wiki spirit. I haven't even been committed here or any other wiki lately (or in any case, never had been). I'm just feeling stressed and overly focused on reality as of now. I'm ready to take a very long "break" from Wikia.
To sum it up, I'm retiring from Pokémon Wiki and/or other wikis (or Wikia altogether). Sadly, this is my first stop onto retirement on Wikia.
I wrote this at midnight, so please disregard any confusion. :P Take care of the wiki and/or the new wiki. :) Bermuda • Triangle • 08:24,8/4/2012
- Comment: There's no way I can oppose this, as this is what you want. And there's no way in hell I'm going to support this. And as much as I don't want you to go, I understand why. It'll be weird not seeing you 'round. But, this is what you want. And I'm glad you're getting other opinions instead of going "LOL BUMP DIS". You were a great admin, a great user, a great asset to the team. I wish you the best with where you're going, and as much as I want you to stay, this is your choice, and you have to do it for you. Jäzzi 19:00, August 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: I appreciate your comment Jazzi. :) Now that I'm fully refreshed, I have remembered the actual reason for creating this demotion. I may pop up once in a while in either this or the new wiki to help edit and/or clean vandalism, but clearly not as an admin or a user with rights; however, I'm still undecided. My official retirement from Wikia should be around December (although things may change that). For now, I'm just making less appearances. Bermuda • Triangle • 00:32,8/5/2012
- Comment: Not that I have any real place to say much. But Bermuda, whatever you decide to do will obviously be the right decision. and as for me. I trust you to do whats best. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."17:28,8/10/2012 4,527

- Comment: I see. This is going nowhere. :P I guess I'll leave this decision up to me when it's the right time. I appreciate everyone's comments, really. So... just close down this demotion I guess. Bermuda • Triangle • 00:22,8/28/2012
- Comment: Erm, you know admins can remove their own rights, right? – Jazzi (talk) 00:28, August 28, 2012 (UTC)
- Comment: Yes, I am aware. If I didn't make my previous comment clear, it means when the time is right, I'm just going to remove it myself. I created this to hear others opinions on whether I should keep the rights (while being less active) or get rid of it since I don't see the point in keeping rights if I'm going to be that character who appears once in a while with no major role. But, apparently, this didn't go anywhere. :P So now, I'm just going to take this on my own measures. Bermuda • Triangle • 01:28,8/28/2012

Your ban on requesting for rights ended on December 9, two days go by and you request for rollback again. You didn't even bother to put in an actual reason as to why you would like rollback rights. The reason you have for this one is the same reason you have for the last one. I think you need to wait longer. – Jazzi talk 20:19, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
KidProdigy (rollback)
— KidProdigy Talk Contributions Edit Count
I like to volunteer to be a rollback editor around this wiki. I am extremely sharp to pages that are vandalized by different contributors around this wiki. First though about gaining rollback rights was for me unnecessary because as a normal editor I can also undo the edits of pages that has been vandalised. But to make a hard work to be simple as example: if a page has been vandalized repeatedly by the same contributor, then it would be simple for me as a rollback editor to undo the edits with one simple click, instead of searching throughout the history of the vandalized page at the point when it was about to be vandalized which can cause for me confussiona lot of time. I hope that you understand my reason why I am volunteering myself to be a rollback editor, and I hope that it is enough reason to become a rollback editor. Thanky you for your time, Regards, KidProdigy (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 13:47, January 22, 2013 (UTC)

I was a bureaucrat on the Marriland Wiki after the split and I would like to have my rights transferred overt from that wiki to this one. I'm a very consistent editor and while I do need my breaks, as everyone does, I mark when I'm leaving. Unless it is short notice. I've done countless work here such as cleaning up images which are low quality. Making sure articles are not copied from Bulbapedia. I've also replaced the low quality images. I've done a lot of formatting and a lot with template clean up. I feel I have the right judgement to be able to be a bureaucrat of this wiki. Wikis need more than one bureaucrat and I feel that I could be the second one. I do my job very well, as proven by my work as an admin under the account name Jäzzi. And this isn't a "oh I'm the rightful admin here". This is a "I know how to do the job of a bureaucrat, and I can help share the weight of it." I would like to be given the chance to be a bureaucrat here and I hope you consider it. – EnemyPeacemaker 23:39, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

I make good quality edits and I'm pretty sure this wiki is running down and need of editors, I'm requesting rollback rights for fighting of vandalism in the wiki.

KidProdigy (Administrator)
— KidProdigy Talk Contributions Edit Count
I would like to make a request to become a administrator of the Pokémon Wiki. I know that it is too early to make another request because I got promoted like a week ago to rollback user. But the reason for this early request is because I want to make this wiki grow, not only me because for that I need a lot of help from other editors who also want to make this wiki shine. I dislike to see this wiki crumble and that many users are fighting with each other. I am a extremely active contributor with already over 1,000 edits around this wiki and almost 50,000 around the entire wikia network. Also I am also polite against other users which can start from a problem but I can solve it into a good going conversation. I would like to help a lot more and want to achieve this wiki's dream in becoming also a number one source of Pokémon information just like Serebii and Bulbapedia and I would never let this wiki crumble because of the lack of information because it needs a lot of patience to achieve it. I would like to help everyone out with solving their problems and different kinds of issues they are facing. Maybe it is too early to ask for another promotion but I really want to show this entire wiki what I've got and I will give it my all to make this wiki long awaited dream come true also with the help of many Pokémon fans. I hope that you'll accept my request because I will never let this wiki fall. Thank you for your time. Regards, KidProdigy (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 20:50, February 1, 2013 (UTC)

Energy X (rollback)
— Energy X Talk Contributions Edit Count
So, hi! My name is Jakov (aka Energy X) and this is my request for rollback. As most of you know, I edit the anime articles - usually KidProdigy corrects grammar (Special thanks for him!). What I am really annoyed at is that vandals cause trouble - once I even saw one vandalising a template (!), so reverted it. The reason for the rollback is that I want to deal swiftly with reverting the vandalism. That and the fact I want to become an admin to deal with vandals on spot. In any case, I think I have written an essay of this request, so this is it.
- Oppose: It appears that what you want is administrative rights. You even admitted that you were going to ask for admin straight out. This is a no. Perhaps when your motive isn't just to be an admin. – EnemyPeacemaker 23:55, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose: For the same reason that Jäzzi stated. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."18:45,2/10/2013 4,527
- Comment: Well, it is not that I want admin tools. It is only the reason that I want to deal on vandals when nobody is around with the ability to do it. We need more admins and I can tell you already I know what the duties of the admin are - deleting unnecesary pages, blocking vandals and be helpful to others. If you are not convinced either way, then see this. Energy X ∞ 10:37, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: We don't exactly need another admin, and we may get vandals when others aren't on, but the admins we have are capable of doing the job. – EnemyPeacemaker 13:38, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: I never said that any admin here is uncapable, it is just that there aren't many active ons. Still, if you think that this site has got many (active) admins, why voting no on the rollback request as it is not an admin request? Energy X ∞ 16:51, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: the only reason that you are asking for rollback now, is because you couldn't directly get to admin, which cuts you short from the power that you wanted. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."18:45,2/10/2013 4,527
- Comment: I might have used the wrong words in the user request, but I think we all miss the point here - to enable for me to deal more swiftly with vandals. Energy X ∞ 19:32, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Undo works fine. – EnemyPeacemaker 20:34, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Maybe so, but takes certainly more time then pressing one button. Energy X ∞ 20:42, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
KidProdigy (administrator)
— KidProdigy Talk Contributions Edit Count
Hello everyone, my name is KidProdigy, and I would like to volunteer as one of the administrators of the Pokémon Wiki. To show faith, I am a extremely active and loyal contributor to the Pokémon Wiki, I've added useful images, templates and am undoing vandalism and evenly reports to the administrators when it becomes a very big problem, but normally I am trying to solve the problem myself. I also have 3,000+ edits made around this wiki and over 40,000+ in total. I know how to use administrator rights properly as that I am a administrator at countless wiki's as in deleting, blocking but most important helping other contributors. But also loose from that I want to make this wiki much better than expected. This wiki loses their editors and is a popular attraction for vandalisms. I don't want to see the wiki fall apart, that's why I am working very hard to make the Pokémon Wiki looks new and original and want this wiki to achieve their goal to become popular like Bulbapedia or any other popular Pokémon website evenly if it is going to take a lot of patience to achieve that goal. I hope you all can trust me with administrator rights after my reason why I want to become a administrator. Thank you all for your time. Regards, KidProdigy (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 08:12, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Neutral: For now, I am going to ride the fence. No offence to anyone, What I'm thinking is that we wait a bit longer, about 2-4 weeks, and wait... Wait for what. I know not. but as of now, I feel that we put this off for a while, because at the moment, we only need three admins. we don't have the need for anymore than that. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."21:29,3/3/2013 4,527
- Oppose: While I was going to support, I rechecked your warnings to users. I'm opposing because you seem to be to excited about the warning. That's the only good term I have. But what I mean is you're quite: "If you continue to do this, I'm going to contact an admin! DO NOT take content from Bulbapedia!" Or an exactly quote being: "STOP TAKING EXACT THE SAME CONTENTS FROM BULBAPEDIA!!" You're a really good editor, you're just not good with community yet. – EnemyPeacemaker 14:32, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: If I can explain the situation, If you check other users that I warn it is regular, but Lucasmoura is the person that I am warning constantly also after that I am undoing his edits. Sorry that it comes rude to you but you must better check what kind of warnings I gave to him in the first place. Regards, KidProdigy (Local Userpage ⁝ Local Talk) 14:38, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: It doesn't matter the amount of times you have to warn someone, you have to remain calm when warning users. – EnemyPeacemaker 14:41, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: I have my doubts about having 3 admins. This is one of bigger wikis, with a lot of visitors. Each day we face vandals, and having 3 admins is just not enough to keep track of them all. Energy X ∞ 22:34, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Need I remind you, that we have about 5-10 active users, and its not that hard to keep up with all the editing. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."22:36,3/3/2013 4,527
- Comment: Maybe so, but what happenes if vandal makes a page with an obvious vandalism? Only admins can delete that, and if not checked, the page stays for a some time (example here). And not to mention the fact that if the vandals continue to harass the site, with nobody able to block them. Posting a message on talk page seems good, but who can promise that the admin is logged in at that time and will block the vandal(s)? The vandals need to be dealt swiftly and quickly, so the conclusion is to have more active admins. Energy X ∞ 22:47, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: We can't have an admin lacking in community skills who doesn't handle warnings calmly. – EnemyPeacemaker 01:17, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: Energy: You seem to have the problem, of not warning the anon's that what they are doing is wrong. And so asking me to ban them is not cool, Anons need at least a two time warning before they are eligible to be banned. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."21:13,3/4/2013 4,527
- Comment: That depends on the severity of what the user, not just an anonymous user, but what the user has done. And I personally go by three warnings, and they should be on the talk page. But I don't know why we're discussing Energy X's warning styles when it's not an RfA for him? – EnemyPeacemaker 21:18, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: It needed to be addressed, and energy the conclusion is not to have more admins, the conclusion is to have users that are willing to warn and tell an admin about vandalism and whatnot. Slay Talk "Shadows wonder why we scream."21:20,3/4/2013 4,527
- Comment: I see no discussion when dealing with vandals. Their goal is to harass and troll us. The warning could only be to a user who is a veteran at editing, but even then he/she'd have a good reason for removing content. To warn a vandal not to vandalise is something like saying a bank robber shouldn't rob a bank. Energy X ∞ 21:48, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Comment: This really isn't the place to discuss how to deal out warnings, it's to discuss KidProdigy's request for rights. – EnemyPeacemaker 21:54, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
Energy X (rollback)
— Energy X Talk Contributions Edit Count
After my previous request, I learned that I cannot afford the user rights on this Wiki just because I want to. Yesterday, however, after that vandal attack (a long and tedious one), however, I want to ask if the community wants to promote me. Even if I do not pass, I will still be here, as my duty is to share my knowledge and fix other issues.
- Support: I'm okay with this, another user with rollback rights would be beneficial to the wiki. You've proved the you won't do anything wrong and that you're aware of what needs to be done and what doesn't need to be done. I trust you with these rights. – EnemyPeacemaker 10:06, March 29, 2013 (UTC)

I guess this can all be accomplished using a contact form script with database integration and jquery confirmation message.

Earning acceptance into the graduate school of your choice feels good. Attending that graduate school free of charge, while also receiving a stipend, may seem too good to be true.
It is true, though, and we have the graduates to prove it. In just the past few years, we've put students into funded Ph.D. programs at prestigious schools like the University of Wisconsin, Michigan Tech University, Rutgers and North Carolina.
"I'm really pleased that our graduates with a passion for biology have had incredible success being accepted by some pretty high-powered programs," says Paul Pickhardt, Lakeland's Associate Professor of Biology. "If you pursue a masters or Ph.D. in biology, and you're applying to good programs, they will pay you to go to school."
We can help you get there
Whether your goal is to attend graduate school or land a job with your biology bachelor's degree, we will put you in position to succeed. We cover all the academic bases, guiding you through a wide array of classes ranging from genetics to molecular biology to chemistry and physics.
Lakeland's signature approach to education involves hands-on teaching and interactive learning. Our biology program is a testament to that, with application-based lab work that breaks the mold.
"In our environmental science courses, for example, our students go out in the field and do science as if they were actually professional biologists," says Pickhardt, a 2011 Underkofler Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching award winner. "And across the curriculum, we try to emphasize that our labs aren't cookie-cutter like they are at other places. They're certainly not being taught by a grad student or teaching assistant."
Biology at Lakeland
From the ponds on our picturesque campus to the jungles of Belize, your biology journey at Lakeland University will provide you with opportunities near and far.
Every other May, a group of 10-15 Lakeland students travels to Belize for an interactive tropical biology course that emphasizes investigative research in a tropical rainforest. Students live in a lowland forest for nine days, plus study coral reef ecology on the reefs of Belize for a few days.
"If you asked all of the students who have made this trip, I think the response would be unanimous that it's a life-changing experience," says Pickhardt.

The Easiest Xbox Achievements of All Time
Who doesn't love gamerscore?!
Home » Galleries » Features » The Easiest Xbox Achievements of All Time
With only 16 achievements for 1000 gamerscore, 6180 The Moon is incredibly easy and takes no time at all to complete. Especially with the help of a guide.

You can get all 1000 gamerscore within the tutorial level by standing in a corner and pressing B 50 times. No… seriously.
12 achievements make up the 1000 gamerscore and with the help of a guide to know when to look out for things, you won't have any problem grabbing all of them in a single playthrough. Expect this to take no longer than 10 hours.
Child of Light is a great little RPG with 27 achievements making up the 100 gamerscore. Many of these you'll pick up naturally during a playthrough, but grab a guide for some of the side quests to help polish the list off.
To grab all 22 achievements in Contrast, simply play through the game and grab all of the collectibles as you do. There are a couple of achievements that require you to do certain actions, but it's nothing you can't finish in an evening with a guide by your side.
Taking about four to six hour to complete and having no online achievements, Costume Quest's 200 gamerscore can be earned incredibly quickly with the help of a roadmap so you don't miss any on your adventure.
With two less achievements than its predecessor and 750 more gamerscore, Costume Quest 2 only really asks that you complete the game and complete a few challenges or tasks. What's more is there are plenty of video guides and the game is generally quite easy too.
If you're not bothered about grabbing the full set, Crash Course can net you a smooth 150 gamerscore in about an hour. It's best to go through and do each level twice. Once for the gold medal on each course, and another to grab the other course-specific achievements.
With a majority of the 25 achievements being story related, and the rest requiring you to do incredibly easy tasks such as performing five "Drafting" skills, Fast and Furious is an easy 1000 gamerscore for car lovers.

With the help of the Konami Code, you can grab all of Guacamelee's achievements in one playthrough. It'll take you a while and you'll need to go through on hard difficulty, but take your time, use a guide for the collectibles, and you'll have a great time while grabbing 1000 g's
Simply grab a friend and play through the story. Use a guide for each mission's exclusive achievement and you'll have 1000 gamerscore in no time.

Though it'll take you a few playthroughs to grab all 1000 gamerscore, Korra can be a fun and fast fighter and won't cause too many problems especially with the help of a roadmap. Just don't miss a single tutorial step or you'll have to reset your progress.
Limbo's dark aesthetics and puzzle gameplay is great fun and takes less than 10 hours to grab all 1000 gamerscore. A guide is definitely preferable for this.
All 1000 gamerscore can be grabbed in under 10 hours and requires one playthrough, a quick nip to the garage, and then clearing up two other achievements. Even if you just grab the story related ones, you'll still be 570 gamerscore better off.
Max is only a short game and will only take you less than 10 hours to grab the full 1000 gamerscore. There are 93 collectibles, however, so we do recommend using a roadmap or guide to make sure you don't miss any along the way.
Because of the open-ended nature of Minecraft, you'll often just pop these achievements as you play. You may need a guide to help you work out where to find a horse, or how to exactly your enter an End Portal, but as long as you don't mind pouring in some time, Minecraft's achievements are simple and fun to get.
Simply play through every episode of Telltale's take on the popular crafting game and you'll earn all 1000 gamerscore. It's as simple as that.

Another game you can easily grab all 1000 gamerscore from in less than 10 hours. You'll need a guide to make sure that some of the achievements you go for won't prevent you from getting the "Number 1 Dad" achievement, but other than that there isn't anything that should stump you.

Rare Replay is on this list not necessarily because it's easy to get all of the achievements, but because you can do very little and still come away with a huge chunk. It has 200 achievements for 4000 gamerscore. There's a few achievements for simply starting games, too.
Rocket League's achievements are easy to get simply because you'll unlock them when you're casually playing with friends and family. The season ones can be boosted relatively quickly, and the only one that may take some time can also be cheesed with the help of a few elastic bands.
A good 825 gamerscore is available for those who want an easy ride, but the final 175 may take a bit of practice and extra work. Still, the game can be perfected in less than five hours dependent on how good at it you are.

A simple game and an even simpler achievement list, all you need to do is complete the game and pick up the achievement pickups along the way. These aren't too difficult to find, but if you are struggling simply use a guide. You're looking at less than five hours to grab the full list.
Three Fourths Home is a short narrative-driven game and due to this you don't need to do much to grab the achievements. You will, however, need to play the main game twice to unlock the "20 Miles Out" achievement. This shouldn't take you much longer than a couple of hours to complete.
Though you'll need to play Tower of Guns 100 times for one of its achievements, it's still possible (with the help of a guide) to grab all 1000 gamerscore in under 10 hours. Focus on completing the game first, then unlocking perks and weapons, and then any others such as killing 350 enemies in a single level etc.
Unmechanical not only has very odd values assigned to its achievements, but a bunch of them can be missed, too. It's best to use a guide, but in a single playthrough and a couple of chapter selects to unlock the alternative ending, you'll have this done in roughly five or so hours.
With 20 achievements totaling 1000 gamerscore, Valiant Hearts' achievement list can be grabbed in one playthrough.

Simply play through every episode of Telltale's story of Lee and Clementine, and you'll earn all 1000 gamerscore. It's as simple as that.
Just like its predecessor, all you'll need to do is follow the story of Clementine and Co. through all of the episodes and you'll be 1000 gamerscore better off.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #31
My God, how wonderful thou art,
Thy majesty how bright!
How beautiful thy mercy-seat,
In depths of burning light!
How dread are thine eternal years,
O everlasting Lord,
By holy angels, day and night,
Incessantly adored!
O how I fear thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears;
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears.
Yet I may love thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as thou art;
For thou hast stooped to ask of me
The love of my poor heart.
No earthly father loves like thee,
No mother half so mild
Bears and forbears, as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.
How wonderful, how beautiful,
The sight of thee will be,
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power,
And aweful purity!

Washingtonians have an innate fear of the Californian invasion. While the state was long ago overrun by Golden Staters heading north in search of the good life, when it comes to the wine industry, things are just getting started.
Earlier this month California-based Trinchero Family Estates entered into an agreement to handle sales, marketing, and distribution for Charles & Charles. This winery is a joint project with K Vintners/Charles Smith winemaker Charles Smith and Charles Bieler. The Charles & Charles lineup currently includes a rosé (which landed a place in the Wine Spectator Top 100 list in 2012) and a red blend. Bieler and Smith produced 75,000 cases of their wines in 2012.
Trinchero is no stranger to wine lovers with over 30 brands, including Sutter Home, Bandit, and Ménage à Trois. They capture nearly 5% of U.S. wine market share. In an article in Shanken Daily News, Trinchero President and COO Bob Torkelson noted how the company took Ménage à Trois from 20,000 cases in 2004 to over 2.5 million cases today. Could the company be looking to blow up production of the Charles & Charles wines?
In a word, yes. The Washington brand is increasingly strong with consumers across the country and Trinchero - and others - are looking to get in on the action. This comes on the heels of E.&J Gallo and Co. purchasing Columbia Winery and Covey Run last year. Rumors abound of many more California-based companies looking to get involved in the Washington wine industry in various ways.
What does this mean for the Washington wine industry? It means that there are now a number of large (large) players operating in the state. These companies bring a considerable amount of capital and clout to work at economies of scale and place Washington wines on shelves around the country. And do not expect the influx of California companies to end here (can The Wine Group be far behind?).
While some natives might lament these changes to the industry, there is no turning back now. And truly, the Californian invasion is only a sign of Washington's growing influence and regard as a wine region. Now if we could only teach them how to drive.
The Californians are coming! The Californians are coming!

Anonymous Says:
Having worked in finance for a good part of my career, I've seen first hand that capital goes where there is the greatest perceived return. From that perspective alone, it's easy to see many more big houses entering Washington over the next few years. First, there's the reality that the Ste. Michelle family of wineries are producing 100,000+ cases of multiple really good wines that sell for $20 or less. Second, the costs of entry are much lower. Third, there's available land for new vineyards (water rights being a constraint). Fourth, those big players already have the national distribution horsepower (and experience) to roll out new brands. I just hope that the smaller wineries aren't squeezed out as this evolves.

Freed activist won't stop 14-year hunger strike
NEW DELHI (AP) — India's most famous prisoner of conscience has walked free after nearly 14 years in jail but vowed to continue the hunger strike that landed her in prison for attempted suicide, her brother said Thursday.
Irom Sharmila, 42, has not eaten a single morsel of food voluntarily since November 2000, when she began her protest against an Indian law that suspends many human rights protections in areas of conflict. She was arrested three days later on charges of attempting suicide — a crime in India — and prison officials have force fed her through a tube in her nose.
On Wednesday evening, Sharmila, looking frail and holding back tears, walked out of prison after a court order threw out the charges against her.
"She says that she will continue her fast until her demands are met," her brother, Singhjit Irom, said in a telephone interview from Imphal, the capital of the tiny northeastern state of Manipur.
"She is emotional," her brother said, describing her reaction to the court order, "but her willpower is still strong. She says she will continue to fight."
The court order is a huge moral victory for the activist, said Babloo Loitongbam, the head of Human Rights Alert, a local rights group that has been involved with Sharmila's campaign.
In its order, the court said that Sharmila was not fasting to kill herself but to protest against the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. During her years in incarceration, Sharmila was kept in a government hospital in Imphal and by law was released once a year to see if she would start eating. When she did not, she was taken back into custody and force fed.
"The state still has a responsibility to ensure that her condition does not worsen and the court has said that if she continues to fast she can be fed through a nasal tube but she cannot be charged as a criminal for her hunger strike," said Loitongbam.
Sharmila "has never resisted being fed by the nasal tube and has never said she wants to die," Pradip Phanjoubam, a local journalist said.
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act is in effect in Indian-ruled Kashmir and in northeastern areas wracked by separatist insurgencies. The law says troops have the right to shoot to kill suspected rebels without fear of possible prosecution and to arrest suspected militants without a warrant. It also gives police wide-ranging powers of search and seizure.
The law prohibits soldiers from being prosecuted for alleged rights violations unless granted express permission from the federal government. Such prosecutions are rare. According to official documents, the state government in Kashmir has sought permission to try soldiers in 50 cases in the last two decades. The federal government has refused every one.
Sharmila has also vowed to not visit her home and village until the law is repealed so for now she is staying in a hut erected outside the hospital where she was watched by police guards.
In India, hunger strikes are part of a respected protest tradition made famous by independence leader Mohandas K. Gandhi, who coined the term "Satyagraha," or nonviolent resistance, and fasted repeatedly against British rule.
Since then the "fast unto death" — which almost never ends in the protester's death — has become an established route to getting any point of view heard in the chaotic din of Indian politics.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Luke Skywalker lived and worked on his uncle's farm on the remote planet of Tatooine—and he was bored beyond belief. He yearned for adventures out among the stars, adventures that would take him beyond the farthest galaxies to distant and alien worlds.
But Luke got more than he bargained for when he intercepted a cryptic message from a beautiful princess held captive by a dark and powerful warlord. Luke didn't know who she was, but he knew he had to save her—and soon, because time was running out.
Armed only with courage and with the lightsaber that had been his father's, Luke was catapulted into the middle of the most savage space war ever...and headed straight for a desperate encounter on the enemy battle station known as the Death Star...

Do Rockies owe Todd Helton one final run at playoffs?
Todd Helton has given the Rockies 17 seasons and nearly 2,500 hits. The best way the Rockies could honor Helton and tell the Toddfather thanks for the memories? Games in September 2013 that matter. A playoff run.
So I say the Rockies should go out and get Helton, not to mention all the other players on this team of over-achievers, a starting pitcher. Giving Helton some help to make a final playoff push would be a far cooler farewell gift than a rocking chair or a pick-up truck. Peter Burns of Mile High Sports Radio, however, disagrees. He says the Rockies have paid Helton more than $150 million in salary through the years, and the team owes their veteran first baseman nothing more than that. Listen to us argue it out here:
What do you think: Should Rockies ownership care enough about Helton to help him make the playoffs one last time? Or is that foolishly sentimental?
Kick it with Kiz and Peter Burns by joining the discussion on Mile High Sports Radio Monday through Friday from 7-9 a.m. At 93.7 FM and 1510 AM.
