Francoise is named after Simon's father who actually went by "Frank" when he moved from Holland to Australia, So I doubt the name "Franky" would bother his parents too much if Francoise should chose to go by that.Originally Posted by Omar_X;3920901;
I honestly don't think the boy's names are all that bad. NY is so diverse that I'm sure that the kids there are used to many different names from different backgrounds and cultures. I would think there are probably kids at school with names that are even more "unique" than the van Kempen boys.

The Sierra High sophomore basketball team bounced back from a one-point loss at Oakdale over the weekend to handle the Kimball Jaguars Wednesday in a 44-32 Valley Oak League win.
Sierra had early troubles in its home matchup with the Jaguars, going into halftime knotted in a 19-19 tie. Sierra found its way offensively, outscoring Kimball by a dozen thanks largely in part to the second half defense.
Jordan Thompson led the Timberwolves with a 13 point outing and Devin Nunez was the only other Sierra play to land in double-figures with 10.
Sierra will be back on the court Friday when they travel to take on Weston Ranch.
Sierra 51, Kimball 34
The Timberwolves opened the contest on a 19-6 run and held the visiting Jaguars to single digits in the first two quarters on their way to the VOL win Wednesday.
Tanner Peterson was scorching for Sierra (8-0, 16-0), sinking four 3-pointers on his way to a game-high 28 points. Daniel Wyatt Chipped in with seven for Sierra.
East Union 55, Oakdale 34
The Lancers cruised to an easy win after outscoring the Mustangs 30-19 in the first half.
Nine different Lancers (7-1, 14-4) tallied points in the win, with Austin Miller leading the way with 14. Both Kevin Jacobson and Payton Lund finished in double-figures with 11 and 10, respectively.
Sonora 39, Manteca 33
The Buffaloes were able to make things respectable after falling back by a dozen after the first half, but they could not pull out the win in a six point VOL loss Wednesday in Sonora.
Frankie Lopez led the Buffaloes (4-4, 10-8) with 11 points, while Angel Perez (six points) and Tyler Graves (five points) followed him.
The Buffaloes will host East Union Friday in league play.

According to The Telegraph, Liverpool and Barcelona officials will meet today in London to open negotiations for signing star striker Luis Suarez. The very reliable James Pearce and Tony Barrett also confirmed the news.
#LFC will also use the meeting with Barca in London to step up their pursuit of Alexis Sanchez http://t.co/GEFt3cjHjC
— James Pearce (@JamesPearceEcho) July 1, 2014
A Barcelona delegation will arrive in London tomorrow to open talks with Liverpool over the proposed transfer of Luis Suarez.
— Tony Barrett (@TonyBarretTimes) July 1, 2014
Liverpool will also confirm their interest in Barcelona's forward Alexis Sanchez, as he could be used as a makeweight. Liverpool will also inform Barcelona that they don't want to sell Luis Suarez and a transfer will only happen if they activate his release clause.
Earlier, Barca sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta told the reporters of his admiration for Luis Suarez.
"Suarez has shown he is humble enough to admit an error, which is very important," he said.
"He has been humble enough to apologise to those he has affected because it happened in the middle of a festival of football. In this case it's the best thing a person can do.
"Everyone knows that Luis is an excellent player. Everyone knows last season he played in various positions in attack, but everyone also knows that he is a Liverpool player."
Croatia midfielder Rakitic added: "The fact he has had the character and the strength to go in front of everyone and say sorry says a lot about him as a person.
"I rarely say that I am wrong so this says a lot about him, he has shown the character and strength he has so he should be commended for that.
"Regardless of whether the club signs him or not, his quality is unquestionable. He has shown a lot of quality with Uruguay and scored more than 30 goals (last season) with Liverpool, so he has the necessary quality to play for Barca."
Earlier, FIFA announced that Luis Suarez has been banned for nine games and from all football for four months. Fifa also issued stadium ban against Luis Suarez. He cannot attend any football match and is fined 100,000 Swiss Francs. An appeal can be lodged. Its very likely Luis Suarez will appeal against the ban. Suarez and Chiellini clashed in the 79th minute of the game, television replays showed Suarez has headbutted the Italy defender before going down Chiellini then accused him of biting his shoulder. The referee didn't see anything, Chiellini kept showing him bite marks but the referee refused to take any actions.

Freedom of speech
I have been wondering all week about Gov. Paul LePage's "Kiss my butt" remark toward the NAACP. I've been wondering why the Bangor Daily News is making such a big deal over nothing. Do the editors of this newspaper realize that the LePage family took a young Jamaican man into their family and now consider him to be one of their own?
Gov. LePage on Monday was to attend the funeral of a fallen Maine soldier. That to me was more important than going to other events. That soldier gave his life so that this country can be free and safe, and the same can be said of Rev. King.
Freedom of speech applies to every citizen in the state and country.

Mental health choices
Public safety concerns renewed by the tragedy in Arizona are driving this latest discussion about mental illness, but this alone cannot direct public policy. Decency, compassion and the willingness to treat others as we wish to be treated should be valued as much as fear.
I have lived with my illness for nearly two decades. It has touched areas of my life and affected all those I love. My experiences should give pause to those who look for easy answers and mouth platitudes born of insincerity.
The economic downturn will likely bring changes to the state's mental health services. Money is tight as it should always be when public monies are used. The conversation of what to do must include this. It must also include doing what is important to us as individuals and citizens. There are decisions to be made about the types of treatment, about how to best provide them and who qualifies for care.
An open, honest discussion about choices needs to take place and it needs to be a dialogue free of characterizations. As a man who has thought of himself as being literally branded with the word crazy, I caution you about living and thinking within the confines of labels.

Too much to ask?
If the lawsuit challenging the Affordable Care Act, known by the Right's wordsmiths as Obamacare, is successful, the American government cannot require participation by the populace and it will mean the end of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Compensation, unemployment insurance and other government programs requiring participation by the American populace which established a safety network for hundreds of million Americans for nine decades.
And, yes, we all know some have abused those programs, and that needs to be addressed.
The American health care system costs were out of control. Far from perfect, the current law, the Affordable Care Act, is better than the situation America was facing. The delivery of affordable health care had been ignored by Democrats and Republicans alike for years, whose inaction created a crisis.
Congress needs to openly address its differences on how to pay for a system that covers all Americans, recognizing there is no free medical care and no free insurance. It was bankrupting the country.
Let's move America forward to a renewed greatness where "the people" are the focus — not political parties and not corporate conglomerates — but the American people. Is that too much to ask of Congress?

An ill-advised action
I am alarmed and deeply appalled by the ill-advised rush on the part of our House of Representatives to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act. If this were to be done, it would cancel out a very important step in the right direction on the part of thinking and concerned human beings.
This repeal would add to the national deficit that we already carry. Within our state, it would seriously curtail medical services for the 252,000 seniors like myself, the 69,000 struggling families who have inadequate health services and 3,300 young adults who have no health insurance coverage.
It boggles my mind that our attorney general has taken action to join with other states in a suit against this act. Surely, the funds spent to join in this action could be better spent for more worthy projects.
We have been too often fed a line of untruths by insurers and people with vested interests so that ordinary people trying to make their way through their daily lives are unable to have even the meager help that the Affordable Health Care Act would provide. Thinking that we have the "best health care system in the world" does not mean that everyone who needs care is going to be able to afford to receive it.

Brusque, fresh air
David Farmer's column in the Jan. 20 BDN caught my attention in the plethora of media attention over the "kiss my butt" comment of the governor.
The "political truth of the matter," to use Mr. Farmer's own words, is that there is a huge difference between the political style of the current governor and the previous one whom Mr. Farmer served as communications director. Gov. Baldacci was the quintessential politician — glad handing, telling you what you want to hear, responding when the polls or special interests demanded but not always following up.
When SAD 37 marched on Augusta demanding attention to the rural school funding crisis, the governor and the education commission felt politically obligated to visit. Their performance was typical for politicians. They paid lip service to our plight, had not done their homework and did not take the time to find out what the truth was as we saw it.
Now, we have a governor who is clearly not the usual Augusta politician we have come to understand. He is blunt, un-political, often rude but a breath of fresh air and I have a strong feeling that the political climate in Augusta might just include the here-to-for ignored people of Maine.
Remember how many references he made to the "people" in his inauguration speech and the dramatic way he is reaching out to get feedback from the people of our state? His style, well, a bit brusque but fresh air. Sorry that your feelings were hurt, NAACP. Get over it. I truly think this man cares.

Distracted by 'butt'
Gov. Paul LePage's recent crude remarks have served him well by deflecting attention from his cabinet appointments. Given the assumption there is a parity of women to men qualified for these posts, the odds against his picking all men as his first 10 appointees were over 1,000 to 1. Does this reflect a new Republican attitude towards women in government?

Project: PS1 Emulator for PlayStation 3 Being Investigated
Over the weekend DemonHades and ifcaro, who not long ago brought everyone the PS3 USBLD Loader to play PS2 iSO back-ups on the PS3, have begun investigating the possibility of a PS1 emulator for the PlayStation 3 console.
Below is a rough Google translation from Spanish of their findings thus far:
We bring fresh new info to know a little more how the emulator PlayStation 1 works. The first thing to say that this information is solely and exclusively on the Web for an idea that you do... PlayStation 1 emulator consists of 2 blocks:
The emulator itself made up of:
- ps1newemu.self 810,016 Bytes
- ps1netemu.self 839,704 Bytes
- ps1emu.self 886,336 Bytes
- ps1_rom.bin 4,089,584 Bytes
Looking inside I have seen some interesting things:
[Register or Login to view code]
I say... actually it sounds PS2. The PS1 emulator is created to use the EE (PS2 processor) to run the emulator PS1... Of which there are all models of PS3 can run PS1. Recall that:
- Japanese PS3 emulate PS2 and PS1 for using ee and physical gs.
- European PS3 emulate PS2 and PS1 for Esar ee (emulated) and physical gs.
- 40gbs of the forward and continue to be emulated ee therefore can run the emulator PS1 as this set up to run in the ee of PS2.
In the short run PS1 emulator on PS2 in the heart of the model 60gbs and 40.80160. This means one thing... One could run the PS1 emulator via SwapMagic?
If a perfectly tailored and sequenced loader for this. And not only that but there is a curious thing as a kind of list where a strange text... SLPS_000.65 ummmmm and say it means?
FREE mcboot, there is nothing that does that... in the BIOS for PS1? And it will say that PS2 BIOS and you're confused... then no, each have different content. Besides I have seen and as you see displayed mc0 PS2, it seems to create a PS1 MC inside the PS2, but the emulator to have some independent functions... Slowly, things appear:
By adding the 3 gives me selfs size: 2.536.056 Bytes
But getting the inside of a rar ps1_rom.bin gives: 2.394.819 Bytes
This makes me think one thing... Sony could do the following:
- Put the file in a tar.
- Part-3 file into pieces.
- Signature-separated files (converts SELF) and used as an executable header which can be interpreted and then their union again (ELF).
If that sounds interesting... What I do not understand is that the executables are called "PS1blablabla". The list of modules for PS2 where you get that? of ps1_rom.bin? One thing, I think the BIOS of PS2 are 4mb... it is possible that there are two BIOS file?
I do not think the emu to be done on a PS1 BIOS for PS2. Especially after having verified that the BIOS has the same alleged osdsys out on PS2. While the BIOS dumper, so that the Japanese like to have another PAL osdsys different launching the game directly.
I don't know where this change has come, but I doubt that our lead PS3... just say what I think. I do not think the emu for PS1 is made within the PS2... change mind when you see any evidence (other than against this theory)
We pulled into the BIOS of PS2 and 60gb models are slightly modified specifically osdsys is different (the game launches directly). While in this supposed osdsys the BIOS is the same as a PS2.

Those 2.20 FW files are definitely for the PS2 emulation. It looks like PS3 core runs PS1 emulator directly while native PS2's OSDSYS launches rom0:PS1DRV in order to execute PS1 game disc. The OSDSYS file from 2.20 dump just reads network configuration from hard drive, validates hard drive state and launches a game (if it isn't marked as "incompatible" in XPARAM2's application list).
PS: OSDSYS refers to rom0:MBRBOOT module which is not available in archive. However the OSDSYS itself contains an IRX module to load encrypted modules from hard drive. So it appears Magic Gate feature was not removed from PS3.

ps1 emulator
does the ps1 emulator work well on the ps3?
04-27-2009 #6tommyc Guest
I really hope they figure out a way to emulate ps2 games on ps3. I have a stack of them I would love to play. But my ps2 console crapped out a few months ago.

PITTSFIELD, Maine — Town Manager Kathryn Ruth called the apron of the Ron Curtis Municipal Airport — the paved section of the airport that allows planes to refuel, taxi to hangars and come in for repairs — "the crucial center of the airport."
She was delighted, therefore, to learn Tuesday that Pittsfield had been awarded $1.04 million from the Federal Aviation Administration for an apron reconstruction project. "This is wonderful; very, very good news," Ruth said.
The apron is original to the airport and was constructed in 1955.
"This reconstruction is drastically needed. The apron is the hub of the airport and this is a great economic development project," she said. Ruth said many companies in central Maine use the airport as a business transportation center.
Ruth said construction would be done this summer. "The entire area will be dug up, proper drainage installed and then repaved," she said.
She said the project will have to be done quickly and timed so that the airport's operations won't be disrupted. It is the first step in a multiyear project that includes expanding the apron to allow for new hangar construction. "We continue to get calls for hangar space at the airport. All our existing hangars are filled," she said.
The grant award was announced by Rep. Mike Michaud, who simultaneously announced a $4.2 million grant for the rehabilitation of the runway at Houlton International Airport.
"The facilities in Houlton and Pittsfield are in great need of these upgrades. These are tough economic times and these grants supply needed investment in our communities' infrastructure," Michaud said. "Economic development and business attraction depend on sound infrastructure. The improvements at both airports will en-sure increased safety for customers and airport staff."
With this latest grant, Ruth has garnered almost $8 million in grant funding for the town of Pittsfield. She has more than $1 million in grant requests pending action.
These include a grant request to expand the Industrial Park and another to install a wind turbine at the Pittsfield Transfer Station and Recycling Center.

Hi, I have this message in the event viewer:

You haven't stated what version or edition of SQL you are using.
Could it be that you are using one of the entry level products, MSDE or Personal edition? These had resource governors to limit the amount concurrency.
If so, you may want to look into using the newer versions of these, namely SQL Server Express - this edition is not limited in this way.
answered Oct 20, 2009 at 08:18 PM
Kev Riley ♦♦
Yes, Kev is right. This error was specific to the MSDE and Peronal editions of SQL Server 2000. You should consider upgrading to SQLExpress 2005 or 2008.

I don't know what is mean't by "neoclassical economics" in that statement, but economic freedom does seem to explain the economic divide between Chile (which now has the highest GDP per capita in Latin America) and the other Latin American countries.
It is true that most Latin American countries have a hard time collecting taxes, but it is their own fault because they effectively keep small corporations from forming through regulation, keep low paid laborers from legally working through strict labor laws, and have a lack of attention to the formalization and respect for real property rights.
Up until recently many Latin American countries could barely keep their currency worth more than the paper it was printed on. Macroeconomic stability is now slowly being achieved (except in Venezuela), but that is only the beginning.
There are plenty of anti-economy regulations that Latin American countries now need to tear down. Does a more pro-property rights culture need to happen for this to occur? Maybe.

I've read about the custom of 'cousin marriage' in certain parts of the world as being an exagerated form of single affiliation society. I wonder how correlated the phenomenon is with economic advancement?

I lived in the Middle East for a while and my experience there confirmed Arnold's thesis. There was very little in the way of honest business practices. Everyone considered cheating the other guy to be a sign of business acumen and they took great pride in doing it. As a result, transaction costs are very high. As much as possible, people enter into business arrangements only with family members, because cheating family is frowned upon. The costs of searching for quality products and services is very high if no family member sells it, because there are no money-back guarantees or return policies or any kind of protection against fraud. Foreigners are at a severe disadvantage because locals know most of the ways that people cheat and can protect themselves in some way. Sellers hold all the information and do their best to keep it from the buyer in order to cheat him as much as possible.

Beautiful. I hope they rot in jail for a very long time.
Three suspected IS terrorists have been arrested in Pakistan over fears they were planning an attack in London on the 10th anniversary of the 7/7 bombings.
The trio were held during a shop raid after IS propoganda and maps of London were found on their computers.
Documents containing threats against the Pakistan Army were also discovered, but no weapons were found.
They were identified as Azmatullah and Abdul Rehman and Muhammad Ibrahim, according to reports in Pakistan.
The group were questioned over suspicions they were plotting a terror attack in London this week after an intelligence tip-off, the Daily Mirror reported.

Work with youth leads to honor
Published 8:00 pm, Wednesday, June 14, 2006
Neal Emerick, 42, of Port Hope, is this years recipient. He said he was surprised but very honored to be recognized by his peers.
I got a message from Gerald Prill, (Huron County Bar Association president-elect) telling me that I was chosen selected as the winner of the Liberty Bell (Award). Gerald (Prill) said the Bar Association chooses someone who helps in the community, who is a role model supporting the law, Emerick said. Im very honored to get it, and that my wife, Colleen, could attend. It was quite a surprise to both of us, I had no clue it was coming.
Emerick has been employed with the Bad Axe Post Office, starting as a window clerk in 1993. He became the post master there in 1999. Prior to working for the post office Emerick served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1983 to 1991 and worked for Cove Sanitation a short time after the Marine Corps. But it has been his work with area youth through a program called the Young Marines since returning to Huron County that caught the attention of the Huron County Bar Association.
Prill said when it came time to choose this years Liberty Bell Award recipient members tossed a few names around but it was Emericks name that kept coming up.
Neal (Emerick) is beyond a worthy candidate. Hes respected in the community for his teaching of the law and his commitment to law and order, Prill said. The Liberty Bell Award each year is given to someone I would consider a regular citizen not trained in law enforcement or an attorney an individual who respects the law and is an advocate to show others his respect for law.
And Emericks work with area youth stood out.
The bottom line is basically someones fondness for the law. He (Emerick) instills that in others, Prill said. We feel that he embodies that with the Young Marines program hes run for a number of years.
Emerick, a Port Hope native, started the Young Marines Program 10 years ago and estimates hes worked with and mentored about 300 kids through the years.
Emerick said he became involved in the Young Marines after a friend came across the program online.
Together we investigated the program, went to a convention and were sold on it, Emerick said. The Young Marines is a national organization, and we felt it was a good thing to bring to the area. My goal for working with the kids was teaching them self respect, to respect not only themselves but their parents, to be proud of who they are, and that everyone is equal no one is better than someone else.
Emerick said working with youth made him realize just how much he loves helping kids. That time spent offering the program even helped him connect better with his own two children Jacob, now 21, a student at Michigan Tech, and Tara, now 20, who is following in her parents footsteps in the Marine Corps.
They are so interested and each so different, each one is a unique challenge, Emerick said. My involvement made me as a young parent at the time, a better parent.
As parents I feel we are failing our children by not disciplining them. And for single parenting its harder than dual-parenting. Marriage and parenting are the two hardest jobs people are going to have.
Ive learned that kids want rules, guidelines and directions. If we dont give them that they will find it somewhere else. Thats where we often fail as parents.
Bad Axe attorney and bar association member James Woodworth is being credited with offering Emerick as a nominee. He said hes known both Neal Emerick and his wife since Neal returned to the county after the Marine Corps.
Its his heavy youth involvement I feel that characterizes the intent of the Liberty Bell Award, someone who is out working with the community who is not involved in law enforcement, Woodworth said. This has nothing to do with his work with the post office or his wifes work on a case that caught national attention. It has to do with his thorough involvement with kids and making them better people and making them future strong Americans. He does that through encouragement, discipline and involvement.
He puts forth time, and in this fast society people just dont have time to be involved. Hes involved with not just the Young Marines, but in sports and other community activities. He knows that these kids are the future and the most important asset that this county has. He makes sure they have self esteem, pride and goals. To see what just one person has done, its amazing.
Aside from his work with area youth, Emerick has been active as chairperson for the Huron County United Way, hes a member of the Huron Medical Centers trust fund board, helps with the annual Bad Axe Christmas Parade, worked with the late Dale Wertz on the Star-Spangled Banner sing along, announces each year during the Fourth of July festivities in Port Hope, is an AMVET member and referees both girls and boys sports throughout the year.
Everyone likes to be patted on the back by their peers, Emerick said. Im very honored that members of the bar association gather and are concerned about the community and take notice of positive things that are going on.
According to the American Bar Association, the Liberty Bell Award originated in the 1960s with the Michigan Young Lawyers, who established the award to acknowledge outstanding community service.
Emerick was presented with a plaque by the bar association. His name will be added to a list of recipients that includes James A. Tippett, Lisa DiCamillo, Brent Woodward, John Mooney, Joan Hofmeister, James Stahl, Linda Fawcett, Kenneth Toner, Mike Gage, Kay Balcer, Warren Ramsey, Lowell and Beth McDonald and Michael Moorman.

By refusing to consider the consequences of their actions, those who created the financial crisis exemplify the banality of evil, writes Shoshana Zuboff.
The financiers at AIG were awarded millions in bonuses because their contracts were based on the transactions they completed, not the consequences of those transactions. A 32-year-old mortgage broker told me: "I figured my job was to get the transaction done ... Whatever came after the transaction - that was on him, not me." A long list of business executives have reaped sumptuous rewards even though they fractured the world's economy, destroyed trillions of dollars in value, and disfigured millions of lives.
Most experts now blame a lack of regulation and oversight for this madness. Or they point to misguided incentive programs associated with the push for shareholder value that tied executive rewards to a firm's share price. These factors are surely important, but they ignore the terrifying human breakdown at the heart of this crisis.
Each day's economic news leaves me haunted by Hannah Arendt's ruminations on Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann as she reported on his trial in Jerusalem for The New Yorker 45 years ago. Arendt pondered "the strange interdependence of thoughtlessness and evil" and sought to capture it with her famous formulation "the banality of evil." Arendt found Eichmann neither "perverted nor sadistic," but "terribly and terrifyingly normal."
Remoteness from Reality
He was a new type of criminal, a participant in "administrative massacre" who committed his crimes "under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or to feel that he is doing wrong." Eichmann had no motives other than what Arendt described as "an extraordinary diligence in looking out for his personal advancement…he never realized what he was doing.That such remoteness from reality and such thoughtlessness can wreak more havoc than all the evil instincts taken together," she concluded, "…was, in fact, the lesson one could learn in Jerusalem."
The economic crisis is not the Holocaust but, I would argue, it derives from a business model that routinely produced a similar kind of remoteness and thoughtlessness, compounded by a widespread abrogation of individual moral judgment. As we learn more about the behavior within our financial institutions, we see that just about everyone accepted a reckless system that rewards transactions but rejects responsibility for the consequences of those transactions. Bankers, brokers, and financial specialists were all willing participants in a self-centered business model that celebrates what's good for organization insiders while dehumanizing and distancing everyone else - the outsiders.
This institutionalized narcissism and contempt for the "other" found its ultimate expression in the subprime mortgage industry, and the investment business derived from those mortgages. In far too many cases, the obvious risks to borrowers and investors were simply regarded as externalities for which no one would be held accountable. If there was a family forced to relinquish its home or a retiree exposed to unfathomable risks in her pension, these human beings had not been imagined. Their suffering was invisible to those on the inside: it was so remote that for all practical purposes it did not exist.
No Feelings of Empathy
As in war, that emotional distance made it easier to operate in one's own narrow interests, without the usual feelings of empathy that alert us to the pain of others and define us as human. The narcissistic business model provided the modern day "circumstances" that enabled individuals to ignore the poisonous consequences of their choices. This paved the way for a full-scale administrative economic massacre.
Despite Arendt's deep understanding of the Nazi system to which Eichmann conformed, she insisted that the central moral issue - not only of the trial but of all time - came down to the nature and function of individual human judgment. "What we have demanded in these trials, where the defendants had committed 'legal' crimes, is that human beings be capable of telling right from wrong even when all they have to guide them is their own judgment, which, moreover, happens to be completely at odds with what they must regard as the unanimous opinion of all those around them."
Eichmann's trial sent a message to the world that individuals must be held accountable for their judgment, even when they have "thoughtlessly" conformed to toxic institutional circumstances. This message is not restricted to the unspeakable horrors of mass murder. It is relevant to the relationship between individual judgment and institutional processes in any situation. It's a message that says: you can't just blame the system for the bad things you've done. Yet to the world's dismay, thousands of men and women entrusted with our economic well being systematically failed to meet this minimum standard of civilized behavior. They did not capably discern right and wrong. They either did not judge, or they did not act on their judgment. This failure defines the raw heart of the public's outrage at each fresh disclosure of outlandish bonuses. It is less a thirst for revenge than it is a rebellion against this banal evil.
The public's indignation reflects a sense of morality that points deeper and truer than the laws devised to protect self serving business practices. The call now is to take back our community, to return to a place where people are capable of telling right from wrong because they recognize themselves in one another. The public demands - no, commands - that our leaders reassert their capacity, their duty, to judge what is right, even if that means standing up to lawsuits and angry bankers.
Vacuum of Moral Leadership
Edward Liddy, the Paulson-appointed chairman of AIG, initially recommended that the bonuses given to its employees go forward, though he found it "distasteful and difficult." Mr. Liddy missed what could have been the shining moment of his career by failing to insist from the start on what he thought to be right, despite "the unanimous opinion of all those around him." Neither Mr. Liddy nor anyone in the Obama Administration has demonstrated that kind of moral leadership, as they now scramble to respond to the public's demand that AIG employees return their bonuses.
By now the existential security of millions of people has been threatened or destroyed. No one is safe from the waves of value destruction set into motion by the banal evil of this self-centered business model and the unquestioning participants who failed to assert their own moral judgment. The urgent lesson for capitalism's heirs redounds through every headline: There is no "other"; there is only us. The damage that was supposed to be "theirs" is now shared misery on a global scale.
Since the days of Eichmann in Jerusalem, our understanding of human rights has evolved to include economic, social, and cultural rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the U.N. includes "the promotion of social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom." The U.N. Commission on Human Rights has called the business community to account, stating that "transnational corporations and other business enterprises, as organs of society, are also responsible for promoting and securing the human rights set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."
The economic crisis has demonstrated that the banality of evil concealed within a widely accepted business model can put the entire world and its peoples at risk. Shouldn't those businesses be held accountable to agreed international standards of rights, obligations, and conduct? Shouldn't the individuals whose actions unleashed such devastating consequences be held accountable to these moral standards?
I believe the answer is yes. That in the crisis of 2009 the mounting evidence of fraud, conflicts of interest, indifference to suffering, repudiation of responsibility, and systemic absence of individual moral judgment produced an administrative economic massacre of such proportion that it constitutes an economic crime against humanity.

Getting some credit, having plenty of fun
Published 8:00 pm, Thursday, May 26, 2005
This year, the Huron Intermediate School District once again is offering the program Reach Out for College Credit at the Huron Area Technical Center. The program is for young adults in grades seven through nine, and the classes are designed to move at a faster pace to enable students to explore topics and areas of interest. Each completed class earns students one college credit hour from St. Clair County Community College. Transferability of credit to other colleges is subject to individual university approval.
This year, Reach Out for College Credit is offering six courses. The instructors include Michelle McIntyre, Linda Lenar, Tom Claar and Scott Whipple.
The first classes begin on June 13, and the classes include Drawing Basics and Primary Painting. These classes continue until June 17. Primary Painting is from 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday and Drawing Basics is from noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Simple Machines to Robotics will run from June 20 to 24 from 8:45 a.m. to noon.
Entomology (study of insects) and Modern Applications of Mathematics will begin June 27. Entomology will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Wednesday. Mathematics will be from 8 a.m. to noon Monday through Thursday.
Rocketry (design and flight) will begin June 29. The class will run from 1 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday.
The classes are a great way for students to experience fun learning while opening the doors to their college career, organizers say.
Shelley Herrington of Bad Axe said Reach Out for College Credit is a very good program and she recommends parents sign their children up for it.
"Both of my children (Cameron and Charlie) got a lot out of it," she said. "It truly helped (in) personal development."
She said Cameron took the entomology class and another science-related class. Charlie took entomology and an art class.
"The entomology class with Scott (Whipple) helped them have a leg up in their high school biology classes," Herrington said.
She said Charlie's art class was beneficial because he wouldn't have had the chance to take art otherwise, and he enjoys the subject.
"The work he produced in the class was very impressive," she said.
She said while the classes are in the summer, the program doesn't have the typical mandatory summer school feel.
"It's only a few mornings a week, and it's lighthearted," she said. "They had a good time. It's taught in a fun manner, and they got a lot out of it."
She said on top of all of the benefits her children received from the program, the college credit was a bonus.
"It's a fun, valuable program," she said.
Tuition for the classes is $101.25 for one college credit. A small materials fee for some courses also is required.
Students must register for courses beforehand.
For more information, contact Peggy Randall or Grace Blair at the Huron Intermediate School District at (989) 269-6406.

Emmy Hell Postmortem: The Only Thing Worse Than the Hosts Were the Ratings
Fallout is almost always a certainty in the corrosive cosmos of awards-show aftermaths, but rarely do we spend the next morning sealing our windows as painstakingly as we have since the end of the Emmys. From the botched opening — which even Jeremy Piven was actively (and publicly) scrubbing from memory less than 30 minutes into the show — to the nightmarishly accelerated climax, this year's Emmycast found creative new ways to alienate pretty much everyone in three hours or less. You essentially know where we stand on the damage scale, but others were not so lucky; keep your oxygen tanks and penicillin handy for a brisk survey of the casualties.· Early reports indicate the Emmys suffered their worst ratings ever: Roughly 12.2 million viewers tuned in, a 7% percent drop from 2007 and about 100,000 fewer than the previous low in 1990. Explanations range from primetime NFL competition to the Kimmel lead-in getting blown out by 60 Minutes, but let's be honest: If Katherine Heigl wasn't coming, why would America? · No one was more disappointed than beat writers at the Nokia Theater, who waited in vain for winners who never arrived. The culprit: The long elevator detour to the press room, as opposed to last year's nearby tent at the Shrine. But, reports Variety: "There's no question that the buffet laid out for the hungry scribes was far better than any Emmy nosh in years." · As such, the Academy's generosity paid off in karmically complimentary reviews like USA Today's:
The lesson ABC's Sunday slog seemed to be striving to impart is that the Emmys are a joke — and a bad one at that. From Josh Groban's musical montage to that monumentally terrible, time-wasting quintet — Ryan Seacrest, Tom Bergeron, Heidi Klum, Jeff Probst and, in particular, a dithering Howie Mandel — the show seemed designed to convince us that we shouldn't be watching. Not just the Emmys, mind you, but television itself.
· Dry cleaners around town were inundated this morning, taking in hundreds of soiled tuxedos belonging to broadcast brass terrified over cable's incursion into their big night. The name "Bryan Cranston" is the new Brown Note. · Remember that bomb scare to which Eva Longoria alluded in her interview with Ryan Seacrest? False alarm! It was a BB gun in some attendee's trunk, forcing everyone to get out and walk when their limos couldn't approach the red carpet. · Making matters worse, non-celebrities attempted to use the celebrity metal detector. This from the director of John Adams, who couldn't even outmatch Jay Roach in his own category. Pot, meet kettle. [Photo: Getty Images]

What about Eternal Life?
That's the most important question you will ever ask. The answer can be given in 4 simple truths...
1 Remember God loves you
The Gospel of John in the Bible says,
For God so loved the world
(John 3:16). You are part of that world. He loves you and wants to give you eternal life. But there is a problem...
2 Recognize your need
Sin separates us from God. The word sin in the Bible means to miss the mark. Romans 3:23 says we have all missed the mark:
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
We have broken God's law and thus there is a sin problem between us and God. God's law declares that the penalty of sin is death--eternal separation from God in a place called hell. All of us sinners have earned this death sentence,
For the wages of sin is death
(Romans 6:23). You cannot escape this sentence on your own...
3 Realize Christ has met this need
But there is good news, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, paid the full penalty for sin on the Cross. Remember, God loves you. Romans 5:8 tells us,
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us
His death satisfied the penalty for sin--He paid in full the price for sin. His resurrection guarantees eternal life. In John 11:25 Jesus said,
I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, he shall live
Now the decision is up to you...
4 Rely on Christ for salvation
God asks you to trust in Christ
as your only way to heaven. In one of the simplest verses of the Bible, Jesus Christ says,
Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life
(John 6:47). The word believe means to trust in, rely on, or depend on. The moment you believe in Him you have eternal life. That's all God requires for you to have eternal life. So that leaves one question...
Do you believe?
Have you relied on Christ for salvation or have you been trying to get to heaven by your own ability?
If you have not trusted Christ to get you to heaven, why not do it now?
Providing you eternal life cost God everything? He punished His Son in your place, but receiving eternal life costs you nothing. Because of what Christ did on the Cross, God now offers you this free gift if you will simply trust His Son to save you.
You might like to express your faith to God like this:
Dear God, I come to You now. I know I am a sinner. Nothing I will ever do can get me to heaven. But I beleive Jesus Christ died for my sins. Right now, I put my trust in Him alone as my only way to heaven. Thank You for the free gift of eternal life. In Jesus' name, Amen.
What happens now?
If you have trusted Christ, you have eternal life. God guarantees it in His Word:
And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

Comments about Radial Engineering ProD8 Eight Channel Rackmount DI:
This thing is a tank and sounds beautiful. If you're on the road but without your soundman and need to know that your line-levels are silky smooth to a moron behind FOH, this is it. Just kidding, this is always it. Ground lifts and polarity reversing are epic. Radial is the best. Cheers.

are two local musicians who recently received The Recording Academy's "Memphis Heroes Awards." Brown was cited as being a "living monument to the melting pot of American music," while The Recording Academy said Chilton's band, Big Star, "took some of the most compelling elements of the British Invasion era and wed them to the soul-influenced Memphis Sound" with inspired results.
The Xavier University Preparatory High School Marching Band
recently won a first-place honor at the prestigious All-American Music Festival in Orlando, Fla. The 64-member all-girl band was cited by judges for displaying excellence through its strong sound, polished uniforms, and straight lines. The judges were also impressed by the leadership and marching abilities of senior Joy Collins, who won an outstanding drum-major award.
The Marc Morial administration
is under fire by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, whose audit says ex-city officials misspent $7.7 million of a federal loan for the now-defunct Jazzland Theme Park. The city may be forced to repay the money, says HUD, which accuses former officials of making ineligible and undocumented expenditures, maintaining inadequate controls and management of Jazzland, and possibly engaging in contractual conflicts of interest.
Samuel J. Green Middle School administrators
have been asked to explain a decision to distribute a printed prayer last week to students taking the state LEAP test and the national Iowa Test. The prayer, which identified both standardized tests as "enemies," was handed out with exam booklets and was rife with errors in grammar and punctuation. Green is among 14 Orleans Parish schools facing state takeover if its LEAP scores don't improve.

SAND POINT - Authorities in Sand Point have resumed the search for a diver who disappeared Tuesday night while doing contract work for a local cannery.
Co-workers said John Shannon was performing tests on the dock at Trident Cannery when he told a supervisor he was taking a break and didn't return.
A check of his room the next morning discovered he hadn't spent the night there.
His supervisor, Carl Bryson, tells Sand Point radio station KSDP there was nothing wrong with Shannon before he disappeared.
Volunteers and cannery workers have looked for him since at the dock, harbor, airport and town.

"Naftogas" refused to buy Russian gas and delivers a Supplement to the suit
The head of "Naftogaz" Andrey KOBOLEV said on air of the Fifth channel of Ukrainian TV that the company on 26 August will submit to the Stockholm arbitration a Supplement to the claim to "Gazprom". These additions will relate to the circumstances of the reduction of pressure by Russia in the transmission system. Earlier in "Gazprom" explained the reduction of Russian gas transit through Ukraine a temporary reduction due to weather conditions and to minimise the requests of European consumers.
KOBOLEV also said that "Gazprom" does not want to sign the additional agreement to the contract, and without this document, "Naftogaz" refused to buy Russian gas. KOBOLEV said that earlier "Gazprom" has signed such a rider, and now suddenly refused.
KOBOLEV hopes that after arbitration "Gazprom" will change his position or be forced to do it.

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I'm here, you have no idea!
The beginning was a little rocky. I had class on Friday, so I went and took a quiz that I failed quite miserably. Not a good start. But Jaimee, Katie, and I went to Taco John's afterwards and had some good conversation and sustenance for the day. Katie and I left about 3 and arrived at her place about 5. We hung out for a little while and prepared ourselves before heading to the airport. She lives 15 minutes away, so it wasn't a big deal. Got there about 6:00 and went through security. It was actually really efficient when we went through. The line filed through pretty quickly for the amount of people there in my opinion. But I have no experience, so what do I know? I was nervous about going through security and found it overwhelming because I had to make people wait for me to do things, but it wasn't as bad as I thought! Just went on through, no problems.
After that we were in the airport. I was still super nervous about the flight and had a mild anxiety attack, but I contained it with Katie's help. She's a great friend to have. I'm so glad she came with! We had to wait a short while before getting on the plane. The plane was much less glamorous than I thought it would be, but I guess I only had movies to base it off of. What really surprised me was that I thought walking in, you wouldn't even realize you were getting on another craft. I thought it would be a seamless transition, but it was really like a tarp on the outside of this hulking machine. I should know real life never fits my ideals.
Anyway, everyone gets on. It takes a little while, a bit passed our planned departure time, but soon we're all seated and ready to go. The pilot says that, rather than a 2 and a half hour flight, it will only take an hour and 45 minutes, which I find incredibly exciting. I'd get to be there sooner than I thought! Woo! We prepared to leave, but then another plane cut us off, so we were stuck on the track for a bit. Then we go to get the plane de-iced and get stuck behind 3 other planes. Then, when we finally get to the runway, we are stuck behind 5 other aircrafts. It was so stressful! I just wanted to get in the air and get it over with, but we were stuck on the runway! Apparently, that does not happen often. So, we were stuck at the airport until 9pm. I was so upset, because Connor was going to meet us there and I told him we'd be there at 10:20pm. Considering the time zone difference, that was 20 minutes after we actually left. We ended up getting there at 11:45pm. If only we had left on time! Could have been there at 10pm! sad But what can you do? Oh, the flight itself wasn't that bad, but apparently they are usually better. For example, there was turbulence throughout and I guess that usually doesn't happen. I brought a puzzle book to distract myself (after take-off, when I'd closed my eyes and squeezed the crap out of Katie's hand), so I ignored it. Like I'd thought, once I was in the air, my nerves went away. I was just sad that Connor had to wait and I couldn't contact him. The other annoying thing was that my ears popped every time I swallowed. It didn't hurt, it was just that one minute I could hear clearly and the next Katie, who was right next to me, could not be heard at all. It was obnoxious. But I made it and I even looked out the window at the city lights below. It was really neat! I kind of like airplanes! But I'll still be nervous about take-off next time, I'm sure!
Ok, so the flight ended and we met up with Connor. I was so happy to see him! I was smiling the whole way back. He put his arm around me and everything felt right. I was also overwhelmed by the city and a total goober. Acted like I was 7 years old, but Connor just smiled and held me tighter.
Since it was so late, we went right back to his place and chilled out. We had a tour of the Capitol scheduled for the next day. We got up at 8 and took transit to D.C., which took about an hour and a half because they were working on the metro tracks, so we had to take shuttle buses part of the way. But I didn't mind. The tour was pretty fun. They walked us around and talked to us through headphones. We only got a general view and Connor was really disappointed that we didn't get to see where the Senate and Houses convened, but we still saw some interesting things and took pictures. We took a LOT of pictures. Then I dragged everyone to the Folger Shakespeare Library, because I wanted to see the stage inside so bad! It was pretty amazing! I wish I could have seen a show there but, alas, it was not meant to be. Then we decided to go to the Botanical Gardens, because it seemed like a place Katie would like to see. It was really cool; there were so many varieties of plants to look at and I really enjoyed the experience! After that we found one of the many art museums. It was not very impressive (none of us really care for modern art), but it did have a cool sculpture circle of the Chinese Zodiac. After that, we went to the Museum of Natural History, but we didn't stay very long. There were a lot of kids and Katie and Connor found it really obnoxious (I didn't even notice). We went to sit down for a bit and plot our next moves. We had been very indecisive all morning about where to go. Connor was getting irritated about that, but I didn't come to see the sites, I came to see him. Katie was just tired. While we were sitting, in fact, she fell asleep. Connor and I debated, because I still wanted to see some memorials, but Katie was obviously too tired to keep going. Plus, our original plan was to spend the whole day in D.C. and go to clubs later that night, because St. Patrick's day was the next day. We debated while Katie slept and decided that, if she could, she should go back and sleep and then meet us back in D.C. later. We woke her up and asked what she thought and she believed it was a good idea, because she'd gotten next to no sleep for the prior week. So we went our separate ways. Connor and I went to the Holocaust Museum, which I found unimpressive as a lot of areas were closed. But Connor enjoyed himself, so that made me happy. Then we looked for our memorials! We went to the WWII, Lincoln, Vietnam War, Korean War, and Martin Luther King Jr. memorials and also saw the expansive reflecting pool. We even got a glimpse of the Jefferson memorial across the Potomac river. It was all really neat and, as mean as it sounds, I was glad to get some alone time with Connor. With Katie, we try really hard to include her, but that means we have to avoid a lot of hand holding and other silly things, which I really missed. Plus, she was so tired that it dragged us down and made us tired, so it was good on all sides that she went back. After seeing all those sites, we went to check out the White House, which was much smaller and localized than I thought it would be! We then went on a little date at some restaurant I can't remember and waited for Katie to call. When she didn't, we called her and she said she did not want to go partying. I didn't mind, because I'd walked around in flats all day and my feet were killing me, but Connor was really disappointed. However, we both agreed partying wouldn't be as fun without Katie, so we didn't go. We went back to his place, watched a movie, and fell asleep.
Sunday was a really chill day. Connor and I woke up about 8am. Not wanting to bother Katie, the two of us grabbed our headphones and watched some TV shows we had been watching together online. It was nice to actually watch them with him than to watch his face and the show on a screen. We hung out together until about noon, when Katie woke up. Connor told us there was an Indian buffet somewhere nearby, so we ate there. I'd never had Indian food, but it wasn't bad, I just couldn't eat very much of it. I'm very nervous about trying new things, but I did try it! Afterwards, we went grocery shopping so Katie and I had something to eat for when he was off at work. After that, we chilled at his place until 5. Katie had a Skype interview, so Connor and I decided to buy some liquor. It was St. Patrick's day, so we assumed there would still be partying to be had, even though it was a Sunday. We got our stuff and walked around a bit. After we thought enough time had passed, we went back, but Katie was still talking. Connor dropped off the booze inside the door and we walked off again for a bit. We ended up at a CVS looking at and discussing condoms xd But it was fun! We then went back and got ready for the night, by that I mean I got gussied up and Connor and Katie pre-gamed. Connor was pretty drunk before we even got on the metro, but he hides it well! We rode out to DC and got off at DuPont Circle, which is where most of the clubs are at. We stopped at a bar right by the metro solely because Connor had to go to the bathroom, but there were only a handful of people dancing, so we moved on. Little did we know that would be the most happening place of the night. We walked to the club Connor wanted to go to and it was closed! We walked by a few other places and there were people at the bars, but no one was dancing! Fed up and disappointed, we decided we'd try to save the night by going to a strip club. Even that was relatively boring. You sat at a table in a tiny building and craned to watch a girl dance on a tiny stage; plus a drink for each of us cost $30 (they didn't even make me the right kind, Katie drank it)! It would have been cool if they knew how to pole dance, but only one girl was really impressive. The other ones just kind of shook their butt at you. And since there was only one stage, it was hard to see, even though there were mirrors on all the walls to help. I mean, it wasn't sad and depressing, the club was pretty high class, but it was still boring. The most exciting thing was a woman who kept going up to whatever dancer and giving money and interacting with them. We decided to head out and try the first bar we'd been to before going home. It was more packed then before! We didn't have much time until the last train left, but for that last hour or so we danced our asses off. I had a really great time! Katie looked like she had fun and so did Connor. My God, Connor is the worst dancer I've ever seen, but he was so ******** cute and he was trying so hard, I couldn't handle it. On that high note, we went home.
After we got back, Connor and Katie wanted to go dumpster diving. I was freezing and just wanted to go back, but I tagged along because I didn't want to be a buzz kill. I had drank very little while they were plastered, so I already felt bad for that. When that turned out to be fruitless, we returned. The two of them drank some more and, goddamn, I worried I'd be a buzz kill. They are the saddest drunks. I barely said anything because I was so caught off guard. I know Katie can be self-defeating, but she was acting like she'd rather be dead and Connor acted the same way. They acted like their lives had no meaning. Well, they have meaning to me! It was just really depressing. And then I realized how similar they were and how they barely noticed me and wondered if maybe the two of them should be dating instead. They have a lot of the same perspectives and ideas. Connor often says she's pretty and tries to talk me into three ways with her (I thought he was joking at first, but now I'm not sure). I went to bed upset because I couldn't stand how they had been talking. I didn't even hold Connor or anything. I should have, but he also had work in the next 4 hours, so I figured sleep might be a good idea.
Waking up this morning didn't make him any happier. He hated that he had to go to work. He always put up a strong front when I was in MN, but he really hates his job. And I feel really bad, but there isn't much I can do. I can only wait for him to come home. While he was gone today, I tried dying my hair pink, but it did not work, which made me really sad. Now I'm just kind of chilling while Katie does her research project for school. But Connor should be back soon! It seems like this is ending on a sour note, but I'm still really happy I came out here! I like being with Connor, it's just had some rocky points. No point sugar coating it. But I'm sure there will be more fun to report in upcoming days! Also, to be fair, we had a lot of wonderful conversations and moments that seem small that I didn't mention, but those little things are just as important as the big ones and there were tons of them! So the good is really outweighing the bad here, it just doesn't seem like it.
I'm so excited for him to get home.

Can you please help on REMOVING LAST CHAR from 4 decimal value, WITHOUT ROUNDING decimal value?

ThomasRushton ♦♦
can you give us a sample of the source data and how you want the target data to look like?
May 21, 2012 at 09:03 AM Håkan Winther
It would be easier to give you the right answer if we had an example to work with, but the truncate function of the round function may give you what you need:
The third argument of the ROUND function allows you to specify that the rounding should be done by truncation rather than 'normal' rounding, so you can use this to truncate the value to a decimal with 3 decimal places, and then re-cast that, otherwise the ROUND function returns the same scale as the value passed in.

Kev, Great solution..just without last digit, while I have all records with 4 decimals, I got a simple solution,
Thank you very much for your effort.
May 21, 2012 at 10:27 AM Gogolo
The method depends on the source data type. Some will round others will truncate. You seems to be looking for a method that truncates.

How long will it take to beat Prophecies? I just finished Factions last night. Gold hovering around 40k...
I skipped right to the last four Prophecies missions. it takes a lot of walking to get there, but it's faster.
2 days remaining and trying to figure out a quick 3 points i can get for 90k =P
Added in the one i got as it hasnt updated. http://hom.guildwars2.com/en/#page=d...AAAAAAAAABAAAA
Any advice would be nice
Get Protector of Tyria and Cantha. Shouldnt take too long.
Unless you have money, in which case buy yourself Luxon/Kurzik armour and another set.
Just starting out - can i play thru the campaigns in order (prophecies, factions, etc) and still make decent progress towards 10/50?
i don't own Eye of the North yet, i'll get that on digital download. Do you have to have that to unlock HoM or something?
My bf and I have been tinkering around with the idea of trying to get 30 HoM points for the GW2 rewards. I never played GW1. He has a copy, but never got very far into it. So, basically we amount to a couple of n00bs. I've read supposedly it can be done in a weekend, although, other people have said more like 100 hours. x_X Honestly, we'd only be in it for the GW2 goodies, so this is not something we're looking to devote excessive amounts of time to achieving (especially when we'd rather be playing GW2).
I guess what I'd like to know is what kind of realistic time investment we'd be looking at (assuming we follow the quickest/easiest path to 30 points) and how much difference would it make playing together? I ask in case there's some powerful class duo we could make that would speed things along or if having two people means more 'hirelings' or whatever. I have no idea what I'm talking about here. :P
You can't get it in a weekend. You need at least a month of solid play time to reach 30 points.
If you plan to do it, do you have all of the campaigns and EotN?
If you do then one of you should definitely play an SoS Ritualist (a spirit spammer character). The other could be anything really but an elementalist is a solid choice, it's what I eventually got GWAMM on.

I haven't checked GW1 in a while but the hirelings thing isn't really an issue, there are a couple of team builds that work really well but one person can pull them off. The reason two people are handy is due to sometimes you'll want more of a certain profession (necromancers for instance) which are sort of "hard" to get.
Time investment wise it really depends. A decent guide does it in something like 50-80h played depending on how good you are and how much you focus. (that's for 30/50)
The second major factor is whether or not you know other people. If you know someone who can run you to the place to get max armor it'll be a lot easier to beat the previous missions (armor is very important in gw1 and that's also the reason why most casters run around with spear/shield but that's another story).
The second reason why knowing runners is handy is due to how you get elites in GW1. You basically have to bring a "clone" skill which you use after defeating a certain enemy and then you get the elite. Of course some of the more powerful elites are found further in the game.
The third reason is mats. Certain classes need more expensive armour than others (iron costs a lot more than cloth) so if you can trade with your SO you can get your stuff faster.
I might boost an account of my brother so we may be able to team up.
@doozer Heroes run SoS pretty good. Imo either a nec or mes is better due to how well their spike/burst/aoe works SS everywhere!
Multiboxing is pretty hard due to macros not existing. If you have multibox hardware it's a lot easier but basic commands that are handy don't exist like /follow or /assist (although you have targeting buttons like in gw2). That's the bad news the good news is that in zones 6ppl zones (parties vary in size depending on difficulty) you can just set an account idle and do everything with another toon.
I think I did mine in August. Took me 3 weeks I think (playing everyday pretty much). I've got 30/50 and I think I did in 130 hours. I've had the account forever but had to pretty much start fresh, no gold, no nothing. I also had the "skill packs" they sell on the store (it was 50% off when I bought) so my heroes were fairly easy to make the builds happen.
Also I was very lucky and made lots of "friends" there. I got for free alot of mats/2 of the HoM weapons/and many more stuff. But also so many people were doing the HoM stuff that the mini-pets price were sky-rocketing (not sure how it's now)
I ran a SS Spiritualist and it turned out really great, few missions were hard.
Our multibox "hardware" consists of turning his monitor around and me commandeering his keyboard/mouse. :P It's infinitely handier if there's a /follow command or the ability to open two clients on my PC, but it wouldn't be the first time I've just had to use both our PCs separately.
All we would need is the Guild Wars Platinum Edition, correct? Apparently he only has the very basic game and upgrading may end up costing just as much as buying that edition. >_<
Last edited by Lane; 2013-02-09 at 01:56 AM.
That just gives you prophecies and eotn. You can get it done with just those two but it would certainly be easier if you have the other two campaigns as well.
I'm sure that would be ideal, but unfortunately it doesn't seem NCSoft has any sort of inexpensive "battle chest" like Blizzard issues with their games, so buying 2x everything is going to get quite expensive just for some GW2 fluff.
It's not possible to borrow items for completion. Once you use something for your character it will be dedicated to you alone (Some people even sell their mini-pets after dedicating for a much lower price but keep the look out for those, cause you can't use it towards your HoM points).
Well, there's a guy who runs a service to get 30/50. It appears to be legitimate and reputable, but since it may be against the rules I won't link it. Regardless, all he says he requires is Prophecies/EotN and a warrior with secondary profession of ranger. All of his customer feedback says they had their 30 points within 24 hours. So, I don't know what he's doing, but there obviously must be a way.
Oh yes boosting people is something completely different though (can you pm me the site or something, i might be able to make some money )
So, with someone boosting it can be done in a weekend? Because that would be awesome.


text: Going Green in 2013 Now's the time to upgrade your lighting and start reducing your facility's energy costs By Ray Abouhassan Mars Electric N owadays, being environmentally responsible and energy efficient are positive side effects of increased comfort, control and productivity gained from implementing up-to-date electrical products and systems in the facilities in which we live and work. Quite simply: most times, as a result of implementing the new system, the reduced electrical bill can dramatically improves one's cash flow situation! Two of the easiest places with the fastest paybacks are lighting and occupancy control. of the old lamps and other hazardous waste generated by the upgrade. Unless you've been under a rock or disconnected from society recently, you've noticed the market for efficiency products have grown dramatically over the last several years. Consumers are demanding more economically priced products that perform as well as the comparable premium items available. This trend has already made its way to the electrical product manufacturers. Several companies have made signifi-cant financial investments over the last couple years, developing value-priced items to satisfy the demand for easy-to-install, long-life products tailored to work seamlessly with existing electrical equipment and infrastructure. The cost of these newly developed products varies. Typically, the more the product offers in the form of capability/ flexibility, the higher the price. The more common the lamp/fixture retro-fit situation, the lower the price. For example, the common six-inch recessed incandescent can fixture has numerous LED retrofit possibilities for the 65-watt BR30 shaped incandescent reflector lamp now banned from production in the U.S. under the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA2007). There are several quality products now avail-able, starting at $25 to $30, that save over 50% on energy use and last over 25 times longer than the short circuit in a vacuum, we refer to publicly as an incan-descent BR30 lamp, currently screwed into the fixture. The quality and affordability of LED lighting has improved dramatically over a very short time. To put it into perspec-tive, the same LED equivalent screw-in lamps a year ago had less light output, weighed more, typically had poor color rendering, and cost $60 a piece. I know what you are thinking – "it's still $25 for a light bulb…" – but before you finish that thought and say "no thanks," take a moment to forget everything about the short-term consumable light bulb you know, except for what the room looks like when they are in use. Forget about the lamps only lasting 1,000 to 3,000 hours, prompting frequent replacements. Forget about the fact that the technology the lamp is based on is over 100 years old. 3URSHUWLHV | December 2012 As more homes and businesses are forced, compelled, told or just plain smart enough to evaluate and update their antiquated, wasteful lighting systems, many turn to their electrician or lamp/ electrical parts supplier for help and guidance. There are several incentive programs available that can help with the cost of a lighting project. At Mars Electric, for instance, we offer lighting project design, support and guidance for no additional fee when we provide the electrical supplies for the project. Mars Electric's Green Solutions Department can also help with the tax and utility incentives as well as handle the recycling *6473,;,-09,796;,*;065:,9=0*,: f;f;f;c;f; f; s Fire Extinguishers, Fire Alarms, Fire Sprinklers, Exit/Emergency Lighting, Kitchen Fire Suppression, FM-200/Halon/ CO2 Systems s Division 10 fire extinguishers and cabinets to construction trades s Fire protection contracting services to property owners/ managers ^^^JV\U[`ÄYLJVT (2965*3,=,3(5+*63<4)<:;63,+6 72
