The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim (FULL) :
thanks skidrow (;
This (like "Update 7″) breaks the Creation Kit again; even updated Creation Kit "cracks" that made it work again after "Update 7″. If anyone has a fix for the Creation Kit (again), I would appreciate it.
here this fixed my kit after i updated put your skyrim installation in your steam common folder rename the skyrim folder if it has a different name to skyrim should look like this C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim minus the x86 if your not on 64bit system but any ways after that place this api in the folder http://www.mediafire.com/?t2n2868c74lcx5l and your done do not run steam wile your using the kit or it will crash just make new shorcuts to the launcher or use nmm what ever floats your boat
so this is version 1.5.26 right ?
mediafire link please, I really really need the resume capability of media fire :(
why there's all 8 updates??? it needs to install all updates, one by one?? I thought it only needs the last update (that would contain all previous updates)….
No I think u need only one ,the latest update. Don't have to install all of 'em .That worked for me .
Still beta v184.108.40.206 not 1.5.26
Somebody answer me pls. Do we need to install all updates one by one? or just the last update?
No dont need previous updates..jst the last one,I mean update 8 and its gud.
Do i need this update if i already updated using update-8-reloaded?
what is this update version?1.5.26.05?
so why skydrow made this version of the update "all versions"?
Good question Scafutto. I've been wondering about that, too. How come, Skidrow?
FYI all, uptade 8 does have an in-game fog lag issue. In fogy areas you will notice the problem. waiting for a fix. i personnaly re-download the uptade 5
where do I get the updated Creation Kit?
someone's getting trouble with MODS in this version???
how do download this..lol
Great hopefully this will help me update my game.
skidrow, what is the latest the 8 ?and this is only a compilation of all of them for backup porpoise?
after install the update every time crashed back to desktop
unbekannt , it works , but not if u have SKSE outdated
ahh thanks now it works
Bloody hell, how do i fucking download/install skyrim? They said i need a ini file. I would appreciate if someone help me :D
Just play first from the .exe (Located on your Skyrim installed folder), then you will get an .ini file automatically, so you can play from launcher next time.
I hope the next update comes soon and fix the graphic issues.
you dont need to wait … just install and realistic lighting mod .., all of them fix it
I'm using Update 8-RELOADED because I THINK it is the latest , I couldn't FIND what versions these are or anything .. it seems that Skidrow wants us to download twice 200mb and install twice to check versions.. Oh Yeah looks much more easy than to post the versions in tittle……… TrololoLoL
can anyone confirm the version of skyirm in reloaded 8? is it 22.214.171.124 or 188.8.131.52.5 cause i keep getting tons of ctd errors with 184.108.40.206 and i read that the ctd problems got fixed with the beta
does it fixes the sound problem ?
i did the sound fix but it does not help so how could i slove the problem with the footsteps and stuff?
Im sure that the problem is not the game, your problem is your sound card.. for example my Genius hs-03U sucks and they are the cause of sound errors every some minutes
is update 8 the latest skyrim update? (the 1.5?)
Does this patch come with the crack already or do I have to find it myself?
Only update 5 works for me… update 6-8 gives me CTD when I try to load a save game and everytime I try to start a new game it tells me of a error then I get stuck in the menu screen.
Can someone verify if this works with SKSE
These updates work for razor1911 version as well as the earliest one (retail dvd release) and also multi8-prophet version?
I have razor1911 from torrent and it has multiple issues, items not rotating in inventories etc, sound problem with Esbern, skill enchantments all work fine EXCEPT the two most important ones: smithing and alchemy (stuck at 22% with all perks and 100 lvl enchanting, whereas all other skill enchantments go to 25% without using potions), and few lesser ones.
Anyone else here had these problems and solved them with this or any other updates?? Thx for any responds!
For peoples out there that having problem with the sounds, its basically the problem with your sound cards. Some sound cards is not dealing well with Skyrim game. You probably need to update your sound cards but as far as I concern, some sound card may not work well even after you update it. Example of the sound card is realtek. The company that made Skyrim said that they haven't cooperate with realtek company yet therefore they may have not fix the sound problem yet.
Thanx skidrow :) waiting for update 9 …

Can someone post the latest 1.68……… version update?
Someone crack 1.6 PLEASE…. fuck diablo 3 its shit.

gee thanks.. love the mounted combat.. but somehow it conflicts with 1 of my mods (makes my character stand still on horse when i draw a weapon), not sure which 1.. anyways i uninstalled all my mods and it worked great.. thanks again..
@skyrim beta v18.104.22.168.6
i downloaded it from mediafire that you wrote above, but i cant unrar it from my winrar, it gives some errors that i havent seen (it is something like "progress cannot be recognized" )
and also PASSWORD that you have given is useless, because the file is not asking any password already.
Can you recheck your file that if it is corrupted or something? Cant wait for horse combat!
you have to download 7-zip if you don't have it already and decompress the file with 7-zip and not with winrar
It works fine with me
is that mediafire link above the official 1.6 crack update?
Use 7zip to open. If still get the error message, update 7zip. That worked for me.
1.6.87 is in BETA for steam which is why they aren't cracking it yet. they will release official patch soon.
Can someone please explain how to install this? I have no idea what to do and I don't want to screw it up.
is a tutorial included? if not, how do i install the update?
Does the 1.6 beta update work with cracked skyrim?
What is the password? I can't seem to extract the files without a password.

When I got pregnant for the first time at 27, pregnancy seemed like something that I had no control over.
It felt like an inconvenience at best and a really bad joke at worst, where the least eligible person in your circle of friends to become a functional parent gets to be the guinea pig of the experiment.
As I'm sure all of my friends thought at the time - and perhaps still think now - I seemed highly ineligible.
Of course, pregnancy doesn't just happen - it requires action, sometimes lots of it - but because of my life circumstances at the time, I didn't feel quite ready for it and, even worse, had no one to emulate or coach me.
Couple that with a 25-year-old, similarly overwhelmed fiancé, and the pregnancy became something scary.
Looking at it through other people's eyes, I saw what it might take away (youth, looks, career prospects, any semblance of a social life, all imagined travel plans) rather than the myriad pleasures it would bring.
Since I didn't feel or look particularly good, and since the pregnancy put a strain on my new engagement and relationship with my fiancé, the nine months went by in a haze of vomiting and nausea, acne and sweatpants, lots of hormonal screaming and crying fits, and me sitting on the couch grumpily, feeling defeated.
It wasn't until my baby - MY baby! - popped out that I felt normal again (which was crazy in itself because actually having the child is supposed to be the scary part!), and euphoric with bliss. I had finally found myself.
Well, five years and another baby later, and I'm pregnant again.
And I have a completely new-found respect for pregnancy and all that it entails: the discussions, the planning, the questioning (Are we ready to look after another child? Can we afford to? Are we sane enough?) and all of the tribulations and heartbreak involved when things don't work out quite as expected when you hoped they would.
This pregnancy has been different to my last two. I am still vomiting and still have my acne breakouts, but I'm not defeated.
While pregnant with my number two, Liv, I remember taking out the few cotton maternity dresses I owned at 12 weeks and wearing them on rotation for the next six months-plus, just because I felt tired and lazy and instinctively took myself back to the blah place I had been in for my first pregnancy.
I didn't realise that by doing that, I had resigned myself to another pregnancy where I would feel insignificant and unlike myself for another chunk of time, and where I wouldn't want to socialise or exercise or do much of anything because I couldn't muster up the strength or the energy, which I channeled into Diana (happily my two-year-old didn't pass judgement on my appearance or misanthropy with the general population).
So I've decided this pregnancy is going to be different - and it has been. Even though I'm being watched more carefully for potentially having an enormous baby (the joys of giving birth to a 10lb, 5oz-er - thanks Liv!) and am throwing up as ever, I'm still me.
I'm working hard, enjoying every minute with D and Liv, and still feeling energised enough to meet a friend or go out for a dinner. I'm also wearing my normal clothes - since my daily uniform is maternity-friendly and mainly consists of spandex leggings, it seems ridiculous to change that - and even the occasional chunky heels.
I'm Googling 'Blake Lively pregnant' pics to channel the vision of glowing pregnancy bliss I am trying to aspire to, without the effort, unlimited resources or full-time staff. But the Googling counts as some effort towards self-improvement, I think...
I know for some, this happens the other way around - pregnancy number three is the write-off - but I guess when it comes to baby stuff, I'm not doing anything in the right order.
And I'm perfectly OK with that now.

Should We Teach Standards or Children?
As a teacher, I am reminded ad nauseam to "teach the Common Core State Standards." Since I am a reading specialist, hiding inside the Trojan horse of English-language Arts in an underperforming middle school, I quietly administer reading, spelling, grammar, usage, and mechanics assessments to my students. It won't come as much of a surprise to most of you that the diagnostic data indicate that some students have severe reading and spelling deficits.
Here then is the crux of the issue. The underlying pre-suppositions, results, and practice of standards-based instruction can be diametrically opposed to assessment-based instruction, according to the diagnostic needs of our children. This is especially true in the field of reading instruction.
The underlying pre-suppositions of the standards-based movement accept a priori that education is solely a behavioral science. We critics of this assumption would argue that much of teaching, learning, and parenting is culturally-bound and intuitive. In other words, some of effective teaching is truly an art form. We critics are not above using the scientific method and learning theory to debunk the behavioral purists. For example, the standards-based-movement begs the vital question regarding its linear scope and sequence of grade level standards: Do we really learn that way? Many teachers in my fields of English-language Arts and reading would argue the contrary. In fact, anyone who has taught the basic parts of speech to sophomores in high school won't be surprised to learn that excellent teachers from elementary school-to middle school-to last year's freshman class taught the same parts of speech. In other words, some learning may be recursive, not linear. Teachers, students, and parents are the critical variables here. The Common Core writers recognize this recursive element and have included the Progressive Skills Review within the Language Strand to address this instructional issue.
As is frequently the case in education, an idea takes on a life of its own in practice. A conversation a few years back with a fellow English teacher was instructive, but chilling. In discussing the results of our informal reading assessments, he looked over the clearly demonstrated reading deficits in his testing data and then said, "I teach the grade level standards. I'm not paid to go back and teach everything that the students don't know." He accepted a job as an administrator in our district the next year. Now, I am not over-critical of administrators… They are held accountable to implement standards-based instruction and to increase the all-important state and/or district standards-based test scores. However, administrators have got to do better than the principal who refused to implement reading intervention programs at her under-performing school because "The elementary teachers are supposed to teach reading; that's their job, not ours. We teach the middle school Common Core State Standards here." Of course, the principal certainly needs to read the appendices of the Common Core Standards which recognize the need for assessment-based instruction.
It's easy to whine at the devolution of academic freedom and the sorry state of education that has been relegated to a series of standards-based grade level scope and sequence charts, with benchmarks or task analyses tacked on to provide the pretense of specificity. It's harder to offer solutions, but here are a few thoughts.
True educators need to teach both Standards and children.
1. Do teach the grade level Common Core State Standards. Really. However, control the time allotted to teaching these standards and insist on your academic freedom here. When challenged as to why you are teaching a lesson or skill that is not explicitly listed as a grade level Standard, cite previous or advanced grade level standards that address your remedial or advanced grade level instruction.
2. Patiently argue that some students need to "catch up, to keep up." Justify concurrent remediation or acceleration and grade level instruction by citing diagnostic data. Let data plead your case. For example, if instructed not to teach to diagnosed deficits, ask the principal/district supervisor to write a letter to the parents of students to alleviate you of this responsibility, against your informed judgment. They won't, but they won't bother you for awhile.
3. Explain that that any criticism is not about really about what you teach, but rather about how you teach. You are scaffolding instruction, according to the demonstrated diagnostic needs of your students in order to teach the grade level standards. That's why assessment-based instruction is so critical. You are making the standards comprehensible and in order to do so, you must differentiate instruction. How you teach is a matter of academic freedom.
The author of this article, Mark Pennington, has written the assessment-based Grammar, Usage, Mechanics, Spelling, and Vocabulary (Teaching the Language Strand) Grades 4-8 programs to teach the Common Core Language Standards. Each full-year program provides 56 interactive grammar, usage, and mechanics and include sentence diagrams, error analysis, mentor texts, writing applications, and sentence dictation formative assessments with accompanying worksheets (L.1, 2). Plus, each grade-level program has weekly spelling pattern tests and accompanying spelling sort worksheets (L.2), 56 language application opener worksheets (L.3), and 56 vocabulary worksheets with multiple-meaning words, Greek and Latin word parts, figures of speech, word relationships with context clue practice, connotations, and four square academic language practice (L.4, 5, and 6). Comprehensive biweekly unit tests measure recognition, understanding, and application of all language components.
Grammar, Usage, Mechanics, Spelling, and Vocabulary (Teaching the Language Strand) also has the resources to meet the needs of diverse learners. Diagnostic grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling assessments provide the data to enable teachers to individualize instruction with targeted worksheets. Each remedial worksheet (over 200 per program) includes independent practice and a brief formative assessment. Students CATCH Up on previous unmastered Standards while they KEEP UP with current grade-level Standards. Check out the YouTube introductory video of the Grammar, Usage, Mechanics, Spelling, and Vocabulary (Teaching the Language Strand) program.
The author also provides these curricular "slices" of the Grammar, Usage, Mechanics, Spelling, and Vocabulary (Teaching the Language Strand) "pie": the five Common Core Vocabulary Toolkits Grades 4−8; the five Differentiated Spelling Instruction Grades 4−8 programs (digital formats only); and the non-grade-leveled Teaching Grammar and Mechanics with engaging grammar cartoons (available in print and digital formats).

Sources close to patron Thomas Di Benedetto have denied shock reports he is ready to walk out on Roma.
The rumours began to spread from gossip website Dagospia today, claiming Di Benedetto will not be at the Stadio Olimpico for tonight's Serie A match with Juventus.
According to Dagospia, American businessman Di Benedetto is frustrated by disagreements with the other investors and Italian bank UniCredit. "There is absolutely no problem with Di Benedetto," assured UniCredit sources.
He was further perplexed by the recent poor results and protests that saw fans wait for the Roma squad at the train station to complain after their 3-0 defeat to Fiorentina.
However, sources from within the Di Benedetto camp have rejected these reports. He also owns the Boston Red Sox and is in the group who bought out Liverpool.
Meanwhile, one of the four American investors who bought out Roma in the summer has outlined their plans.
"It's our role to build up the team's commercial business so it provides our football club the tools to compete consistently at the highest level while also developing a global media platform that allows our worldwide fan base to follow Roma in a highly engaged fashion," James J Pallotta told the New York Times.
"The building blocks for success include enhancing the game-day experience for our fans — particularly making our existing stadium more family friendly — developing a deeply compelling digital presence, touring the team to the Americas and Asia so fans globally can experience the club first-hand, and ultimately building a new purpose-built stadium in Rome."

In a recent research note issued to investors, Chris Whitmore of Deutsche raised his price target for Apple shares to $375, the highest target we're aware of.
Apple is beginning the strongest product cycle in the company's history, led by the iPad and iPhone 4 release later this week. Initial demand for the new iPhone is incredibly robust based on initial demand indicators including: pre-orders, search trends and supplier checks.
And in light of iPad sales surpassing the 3 million mark 80 days in, Whitmore also increased his 2010 iPad sales estimate to 12 million units, up from a previous estimate of 5 million. He also increased his estimate of 2010 iPhone shipments from 41 million to 44 million.
Regarding stone cold earnings, Whitmore anticipates Apple's 2010 revenue to come in at $71 billion and its 2010 EPS to check in at $16.

CBI questions staff of Kerjiwal's principal secretary
New Delhi, March 8 (IANS) The CBI on Tuesday called the staff of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's principal secretary Rajendra Kumar for questioning in connection with its probe into an alleged corruption case against him, an official said.
"Two-three members of (Rajendra) Kumar's staff were called for questioning," a CBI official told IANS on condition of anonymity.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had earlier said the documents seized from the office of Kumar "prima facie reflect criminal conspiracy and criminal misconduct and abuse of official position by the accused persons".
The CBI had conducted raid on Kumar's office on December 15 last year at the Delhi Secretariat.
Kejriwal on Tuesday tweeted: "The CBI summons Delhi chief minister's staff 'informally' on phone without notice. Staff of other ministers called earlier like this."
The CBI official, however, clarified that it had called only Rajendra Kumar's staff for questioning and denied that it called Kejriwal's staff for questioning.

On an early spring afternoon almost one year to the day before the outbreak of the Civil War , a large pine box was thrown onto the platform from a train at Seymour, Indiana. The impact caused the box to break and out fell a black man who was immediately arrested. As it turned out, he was a slave from Nashville, Tennessee. Even before the train had reached Seymour, the slave's owner had wired authorities in Louisville, Kentucky to be on the lookout for Aleck who, as he later told an inquiry, was assisted in his efforts to escape by Nathan James, a free black, Alf Savage, a slave who had lived relatively freely in the city for many years, and an unnamed "white man." Aleck, who attended the same church as James, had paid the white man $60 and a silver watch to cover the cost of his escape. James had procured the box and he and Savage made sure that the box, addressed to Levi Coffin in Cincinnati, got to the local office of the Adams Express Company. Aleck's bid for freedom may have failed, but its organization and the people involved in its execution had been a thorn in the side of the slave system for many years. The incident gives us a rare glimpse into the nature and workings of the Underground Railroad (UGRR) in the South: the slave, determined to be free, was aided by a fellow slave and a free black, both of whom chose to stay behind, and a mysterious white man, who from all ... log in or subscribe to read full text

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about horror fiction is that it is all gore, all the time.
Not that there's anything wrong with that…But I'll admit that one can only sit through Saw so many times before the bloodshed gets a little pedestrian.
Not that I don't enjoy a good "popcorn movie" or "beach read" every now and then. But I can't help it if I sometimes look for something more from my horror.
Whether it's a dark and brooding piece or some dastardly mystery that needs to be unraveled, sometimes a girl just wants something more with her gore.
In Alan Ryker's The Hoard, I got that "something more" that I was looking for – in the from of a skin-crawlingly good creeper that made my pulse race.
Sure, there are some gnarly scenes and of course, there's going to be a little bloodshed. But The Hoard also offers a frightening atmosphere and action, giving the story some meat.
There's a reason this book is garnering 4 and 5-star ratings all over the place, and lucky for us because its publisher Darkfuse has signed Ryker to a 3-year deal which means 3 new novels & 3 new novellas in the next 3 years. WOW!
That is certainly good news, as I'd been hearing fantastic things about Alan's writing long before picking up The Hoard, a story about one compulsive hoarder and how her obsession grows into something unwieldy and with a ferocity all its own.
Hidden deep beneath its landfill lair of trash and filth, a strange new organism has come to life. When an accidental fire drives it out, the mysterious creature escapes across the drought-blasted Kansas prairie and finds the home of elderly hoarder Anna Grish. In desperate need of shelter, it burrows in, concealed amidst the squalor and mess.
When Adult Protective Services force Anna to vacate her junk-riddled home, she moves in with her son and his family. But there is something wrong with Anna, something more than her declining mental condition and severe hoarding disorder. Something sinister has taken hold of her, and it's not only getting stronger, it's spreading.
Amidst the wide-open Kansas plains, with endless blue sky above and flat, open vista stretching from one horizon to the next, there is nowhere to hide from…THE HOARD
In classic hoarder behavior, elderly grandmother Anna Grish's "collections" start to get out of control, but she does a good job of keeping friends and family at arm's length. No one sees the degree of her obsession or the deterioration of her mental state until she is injured and is forced to live on the farm next door with her son Pete and his family.
But like his mother, Pete, too, has a problem with gathering piles in the corners of his garage, so trying to tell her to straighten up is an act of futility. Not that it would matter anyway. Not only does The Hoard have a mind of its own, it manages to control and overpower anyone in its path, including Anna.
An infectious tale where the monster hides easily in plain sight, The Hoard shows off Ryker's talent for creating a sense of dread and fear that settles in and festers.
To find out more about The Hoard, check out Amazon, Goodreads or Darkfuse, or visit Alan's blog to keep up with his writing misadventures. And watch for a review of Ryker's popular Burden Kansas coming soon to Bloody Bookish.

Performance (40% of the final score) - now how do I score something that is seriously lacking in North American competition? I suppose I'll just wing it. This is a 1500W unit, rivaled by only one other power supply on this continent for sheer output capability. This is a power supply that was able to hold its own with the Enermax Galaxy Evo in terms of ripple suppression until it went and passed the output capabilities of said Enermax. This is a unit that put out some hundred and ten amperes of 12 volt current, all while regulating within 1% in the hot box. This is a unit that would not shut down in the hot box, even when confronted by temperatures well in excess of the specified operating temperature. When you get right down to it, this is quite simply the most awesome Enhance built unit I have ever seen, and in my view it is more than worthy of this here 10 I'm giving it.
Functionality (20% of the final score) - what more can a guy ask for here? This unit has all the cabling one could ever need for anything short of a thirteenth SATA device. But you know what? Those SATA connectors are 250mm apart on their cables. You could easily add more if you wanted. But that's also where the ST1500 comes up short... in those long 250mm stretches of cable. Like all big Silverstones, those connectors are all just too far apart for me. So, I'll have to go down to a mere 9 here.
Value (30% of the final score) - this is going to be a tough one. Why? Well... there's no real competition other than the big Ultra unit. This bad boy is currently going for $362.99 at Sundial Micro. The older Ultra X3 1600W can be found at just under $300, but that's only because the X4 is out now, and that X4 is currently not any cheaper. That's not even mentioning the fact that I don't currently know how either Ultra performs compared to this one. Really, if you need something this powerful, you can't do better for this price, at least not right now. 10.
Aesthetics (10% of the final score) - as usual, I love the matte black. But, I'm going to remove a point for the sticker frenzy on a surface I could see through the window of my Twelve Hundred, and for an embossed Silverstone logo I couldn't see in any case I own. 9.
I've been waiting for a long time to say this - Silverstone has a real honest to goodness class leading winner here. Not only is the ST1500 the second most powerful unit you can buy in North America as of November 2009, but it's among the best performing units I've tested at any level. Ripple and noise was well in check, efficiency was flat out awesome, the unit ran cool, and the unit ran quiet. Though not many people will ever need the amount of power this monster puts out, even as a 1200 watt unit it stands out. What are you waiting for? Go buy one.

The first day of October and it's so wonderfully cool with a little breeze and sunshine! I opened my window and put the dog's fleece coats on. Here they are trying to keep warm (mind you, it's only 60 outside this early in the morning). Italian Greyhounds are particularly cold intolerant as they are so naturally skinny and have no meat on those long legs and such short fur. The Min Pins aren't very cold tolerant either because of the short fur.
Capo, Italian Greyhound
Dresden and Persephone, I.G.'s (or Iggies)
Little Miss MoneyPenny. She is 11 years old this month. She is just starting to get a little white on her face and her eyes are worse. She can see, but there is a congenital defect that made her eyes cloudy. It's not cataracts, at least not so far.
Spunky Monkey, our red Miniature Pinscher. He is 8-9 years old now. Because he is red, he is turning white a little sooner than MoneyPenny did. He's getting a shadow of white on his little face.
Bits and pieces of my life. I am a lifelong Christian. I have been married for over 39 years to Stan. No children. We have 3 Italian Greyhounds: Persephone, Dresden & Capodimonte and a calico cat named Binky. We have 9 nieces/nephews and 9 grandnieces/nephews whom we love. My hobbies are genealogy, reading, digital scrapbooking, history, dogs, homemaking. This is a personal blog and not a business.

I am part of a team who writes the "It Looks Like A Feminist Blog".
Our idea is to comment feminism, feminist issues and how each of the team interprets it, the daily lives and what have made an impact with us and our views.
ILLFB is a secondary blog of mine, with means that I already have a username.
Unfortunately we desperately need to have a massusername, from which to post important news or things that are not someone's opinion or view, but something from all of us and we can't.
I have tried to register just a username illfb but wordpress denied it on the logic that illfb already exists (that's us!).
Can you help or at least provide some advice?
I have tried to find a work around but to no avail.
Thank you very much in advance guys and gals and... you are awesome, both for your work and dedication. ;)

DENY Designs Wood Wall Mural

Mystic Dream Pastel Wood Wall Mural
Home & Lifestyle Photography
I just got this art piece from DENY Designs…and I'm in love!! We've used it as a focal point in our bedroom, and it's like having a mountain sunset in my room all.the.time. With a pretty room, it seemed like the perfect time to take photos of my little {bed-headed} monkey jumping, reading, and generally goofing on the bed, because pretty + cute = amazing. But, I'm obviously biased!!
There's currently a code for 30% off wood wall murals this month: SPRING30.
Also, can we talk about succulents and copper accents?!?

Bloggers outraged at Asus
Bit of a stink
IRATE BLOGGERS are up in arms at Asus after a blogging competition at electricpig.com turned sour.
A while back, Asus decided it would save itself ooodles of cash on marketing and advertising by picking six people from the ranks of the unwashed masses and asking them to 'blog' about certain products they'd been given for review. Readers, said Asus, would be able to vote for their favorite blogger and the winner of the popular vote would be able to keep their Asus review kit. But alas, it wasn't to be.
Readers, in their naive ignorance, voted for a particularly honest - read, not entirely Asus kissing - blogger by the name of Gavyn Britton, a choice Asus wasn't so keen on. So the Taiwanese computer maker decided to change the rules of the competition.
It announced that the readers' vote was all very quaint and democratic, but that, instead, the six bloggers had to vote for each other and that would decide the competition. This sudden change in the rules led to a different blogger, Emma Hill, winning three out of six blogger votes.
With much pomp and ceremony, Asus announced that Ms Hill had won 50 per cent of the blogger vote which, while accurate, was also seriously misleading. Therefore, while she didn't win the popular vote, Emma Hill got to keep her Asus Eee Top ET1602 whilst poor old Gavyn Britton got shrugged off with an Eee PC for his troubles, instead of the much more expensive G71V 17-inch laptop that he had reviewed.
Over the last week, the INQ has been inundated with complaints about Asus' competition and its winner selection process, with many feeling Asus cynically used bloggers as a cheap way of generating buzz in an ad campaign that cost it very little.
When we confronted Asus, we were told by a spokesperson, "It was certainly not our intention to play dirty in the blogging campaign."
A statement from the firm bizarrely reads "Certain aspects of the voting system meant that we felt it was no longer not a level playing field for all of the bloggers. Some might argue that people were simply using the power of the internet. We felt that the fairest way would be to ask each blogger to vote for their favourite."
The double negative in that statement is an unintentionally comedic but devastatingly telling Freudian slip.
So, Asus didn't mind using the "power of the internet" to promote its products, but allowing readers to vote for a favorite blogger whom Asus didn't want to see win was not okay apparently.
Asus also told the INQ it had "upgraded the Eee PC model supplied to each blogger to thank them for their time," but neglected to say what it had upgraded to.
But despite the firm's insistence that "there was no intention to worm out of awarding the rightful winner their prize," we still find the whole affair more than a little odious. µ

We Need Your Support
to Make Change Happen
We can make nuclear power safer—but not without you. Your generous support helps develop science-based solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future.
Following the 9/11 tragedy, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted what it termed a "top to bottom" re-evaluation of security measures for our nuclear power reactors. Through a series of advisories, orders, and rulemaking, the NRC required security measures to be upgraded.
The 2005 Energy Bill contained potentially billions of federal subsidies for new nuclear reactors. But amid all the talk about building new nuclear power reactors, the majority of NRC's Commissioners voted against requiring new reactor designs to explicitly consider intentional aircraft crashes. Thus, new reactor designs have been developed accounting for bad guys who arrive on foot or by boat, but not by aircraft. It's as if the Wright Brothers never invented the aircraft or 9/11 never happened.
The 2005 Energy Bill also extended federal liability protection under Price-Anderson to new nuclear reactors. So, if the next 9/11 tragedy involves a nuclear reactor target, the nuclear plant owner(s) will be protected from liability claims from the Americans unprotected by the NRC's short-sighted stance.
The NRC knows better. In 1980, a panel of industry experts evaluated existing reactor designs and outlined changes that would reduce vulnerability to sabotage. Their findings are contained in a 800-plus page report issued by the NRC in 1981. The "advanced" reactor designs already certified by the NRC and those currently under review fail to incorporate the sabotage-resistant features identified by the industry panel more than a quarter of a century ago.
The US Congress needs to prevent the NRC from licensing new reactor designs that fail to account for the threat from intentional aircraft crashes. The US Congress must protect the American public from nuclear Katrina, because the NRC seems adverse to doing so.
UCS released an issue brief titled "Nuclear Reactor Security Design: 18th Century Ready" about the problem and its solution.
We can make nuclear power safer—but not without you. Your generous support helps develop science-based solutions for a healthy, safe, and sustainable future.

Giants' Burress is cuffed, booked in N.Y.
Published 4:00 am, Tuesday, December 2, 2008
New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress was arrested and handcuffed like a common criminal Monday, and now two others could be charged for trying to cover up the incident: teammate Antonio Pierce and a hospital official who ignored the law by not calling police, several law-enforcement sources said.
"We are investigating both the hospital's failure to report the shooting and Antonio Pierce's role that evening," Deputy Commissioner Paul Browne, the NYPD's top spokesman, said after Burress surrendered and was charged with gun possession for accidentally shooting himself at Manhattan's Latin Quarter nightclub.
Day 3 of the Burress saga started with his morning surrender at 17th Precinct, with Burress stepping out of a Cadillac Escalade and showing no sign he had incurred a bullet wound to his thigh early Saturday.
"Plax!" an onlooker screamed. "You're a bum!"
Later, with tourists and passers-by gawking, Burress was led to Central Booking and then escorted into a courtroom, where, with his wife Tiffany in attendance, he was arraigned on gun-possession charges and released after posting $100,000 bond.
By day's end, Burress was back at his New Jersey mansion, but his troubles are far from over.
Burress, who caught the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl XLII win over the Patriots, faces a grand-jury probe and the possibility of at least 3 1/2 years in jail. He also might have played his last game with the Giants, as both the team and the NFL contemplate taking action against him.
Pierce, meanwhile, seemed confident he did nothing wrong. "I don't see myself getting arrested," he said Monday in an interview on WFAN Radio.
Police said neither the NFL nor the Giants are fully cooperating.
The NFL, Browne said, reneged on its promise to make Pierce available Monday and a similar promise to produce two Giants trainers went unfulfilled.
The trainers, police sources said, might have been among those contacted by Burress and others to discuss treating him without police knowing.
By late Monday, one member of the Giants' medical staff did talk to detectives, as did a players' union official.
"You have a series of events, and there is a universe of silence after this shooting," Browne said.
Previous reports described Burress as alerting club security to his gun and accidentally firing it as he tried to hand it to a security member. Police, however, said that was not the case.
The shooting happened as Burress was being led to the club's VIP room, about 10 or 15 minutes after Burress' 1:20 a.m. arrival time, and that at least one member of the security staff knew Burress was armed, police said.
"He has a drink in one hand and the gun in his waistband," Browne said. "The gun begins to fall and he goes to grab it and it discharges."
The cover-up, police sources said, began almost immediately. The .40-caliber Glock was placed in the glove compartment of Pierce's Escalade and the teammates drove off, with a number of phone calls made before Burress arrived at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center at 2:04 a.m., the sources said. Burress gave an alias, sources said, and the hospital did not call police, though it was required by law to do so.
Burress left the hospital at 1 p.m. Saturday, and when police called a short time later - alerted to the shooting by a television news report - an administrator claimed confidentiality laws prohibited her from discussing patients, Browne said.
Later, a high-ranking police official called the administrator and told her she was wrong, at which point the administrator acknowledged Burress had been admitted, sources said.
The hospital said it is cooperating with police and is doing its own investigation.

Carol Alt is claiming victory despite losing a legal battle with her ex-husband, because the end of the bitter saga has left her free to get on with her life.
Earlier this month the 47-year-old former supermodel was ordered to pay ex-spouse Ron Greschner's legal fees, after failing in her attempt to make him pay a share of an investment made during their marriage.
Alt has been left more than $30,000 out of pocket, but she's happy it's all over.
She tells the New York Daily News, "The first thing I said when I came out of the courthouse was 'It's freedom'. Regardless of what the outcome was, I understand who this man is, and it's freedom for me."
And she insists business is booming: "I'm working like crazy. I have four books out, a skin-care line. I'm shooting movies. I'm working like nuts."

w00t! I'm loving these last couple of chapters, Gaz! Really, this is so much better than the first couple of chapters.
Oh, the story, Arosol has been updated. It now has four chapters...you know, "Untitled and Unfinished!". It's fuckin' beautiful!
| howdoesonedeleteonesprofile chapter 10 . 1/23/2005
This story is really messing with my head. I should probably stop reading it, but it's so damn good! It's addictive! Argh...
| Safety Canary chapter 4 . 1/1/2005
Well, first of all, teachers don't send you to the nurse for 'being mentally insane.' The principal or the school board would surely not allow a picture of Lauri attacking the school nurse to be put on the front page of the school newspaper. And the nurse would not tell Lauri she was insane and she needed to lie down. I'm actually not sure what everyone would do in a scenario like this-you see, it doesn't normally happen in American schools, to my knowledge-but these seem pretty implausible. I don't know. This story seems a little strange. I'm not sure if I can get into the whole "Lauri-and-Lauri-X" thing.
| Safety Canary chapter 3 . 1/1/2005
Huh? Andromeda? Lauri X? I don't know. I do like Lauri, though. She's a neat person. And I guess if she's into drilling pencils into her finger, she's into cutting as well, and all that other quote "Goth" unquote stuff (:D). I wish I had her hair. Me. With electric blue hair. I believe some heart-attacks would be in order.
| Safety Canary chapter 1 . 1/1/2005
I didn't really feel it was necessary to review this, seeing as how it isn't really a chapter, but then I read the last line you'd typed: 'Enjoy this story, and remember, temptation is exactly what we can't resist, especially when we don't want to resist it.' That is so very true. I couldn't have put it better myself. Now that I finally have the power to review (I can't usually, only at my mom's house), that's all I should be doing for the next day and a half. Hope this story will give me something to do.
| Illastic chapter 4 . 11/25/2004
Dude, I'm sorry, but this is FASCINATING. It's not going down an overtrodden storyline, like most of the stories I read (& write). Cool..Gosh, I need to go. But I WILL be back to read the rest, okay?
| Illastic chapter 3 . 11/25/2004
Interesting. -rubs chin-
| Illastic chapter 2 . 11/25/2004
Oh. My God. Those poems were amazing. Let's see what's next...
| BerryVomit chapter 1 . 11/11/2004
Perhaps it's just because I know you, but here's the real thrill for me in the story: Is that I can find atleast one person in my life that relates to every single character. That you can see things through every character's eye so perfectly, and now matter the character's personality, they always have something intelligent to say-in Cassidy's case, I guess it just justifies her personality. XD
Anyway, some people are not very good at reading into stories that are very subtle. So most people upon first glance would probably think "Oh this story's going to pity me into liking the main character or something." But when you divuldge into the dialogue and explinations behind the flashbacks, it all becomes very clear.
With that said, write more. I love it. I love you. The comic character designs are being worked on but I suck. JD has an aura of fat.

I hadn't even thought about the sand burning Leah's feet, but then I seldom go to the beach, and when I have been to the beach, it's generally been in much cooler climates than Florida. I thought perhaps she was just uncomfortable with the feeling of a shifting surface under her feet--but if it was a hot, shifting surface, that would be even worse. I have noticed that the only time Leah isn't fussy appears to be when she's not in direct contact with her parents. She was more relaxed at daycare on her first day than she is with them, perhaps because the daycare situation isn't as tense and loud.Originally Posted by Debb70;4033392;
I never understand how people can go on vacation when they're hard up for money either. There are things they could do closer to home that are less expensive--free, even--to relax. I haven't taken a non-work related trip in years, so I've decided to start saving money every month so I can go somewhere fun next summer--and I am gainfully employed full-time and make a decent salary. I'm just more comfortable saving up for something before I do it, so I don't have to pay it off in installments later or dip into the money I have set aside for emergencies or, heaven forbid, my long term savings.
Maci has clearly grown up quickly in order to be the best mother she can be for Bentley. Caitlin and Tyler still have a ways to go in terms of growing up, but they're dealing better with their situation than one might think they would, given their messy family situations. I agree that they probably need to see other people or, at the very least, need to stop being so dependent upon one another for all their emotional needs. Even if they just started spending time with their own friends, that might help.
I don't think Farrah has a clue what it means to be a mother to Sophia. She often seems to treat her like some kind of little doll she can play with when she wishes and ignore the rest of the time. She also treats Sophia to things like a pedicure--which Farrah enjoys--without thinking about what Sophia might enjoy. I realize Sophia seemed okay with the pedicure, but Farrah never gets down on the floor and plays simple games that Sophia might like, because Farrah's not interested in doing that. It's about what Farrah wants, not what Sophia needs. And I agree that Farrah and her mother are going to tear that little girl apart if they don't start trying to get along for her sake.

Senate Document Number 3506S
of Senate Approval
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Statement of Faculty Senate Action:
Adding CHEM 406, 407, 408, 418;
Change course description and credit hours for CHEM 428, 429
Effective Date: Fall, 2006
1. Add: On page 79, new course, CHEM 222:
222 Organic Chemistry Laboratory (2)
An introduction to modern organic chemistry laboratory techniques including contemporary synthesis, isolation, purification, and characterization methods. Course is intended for students pursuing a degree in chemistry or a career in the health professions. Prerequisites: CHEM 111, 145, and 231. Fall.
Impact: More flexibility for students and more efficiency for the Chemistry Department.
Rationale: The curriculum currently has the organic laboratory and lecture administratively built into the same course. This means the allowable limit on laboratory enrollment necessitates limiting the enrollment in the lecture. With the lecture and laboratory contained in one course, students must currently withdraw from the entire course, even though they are performing satisfactorily in the laboratory, and only need to withdraw from the lecture. Requiring the first semester of organic lecture as prerequisite for the lab allows students to be more efficient and perform better. It also allows them to gain experience in the lecture before committing to a lab experience that they may not need if they decide to no longer pursue their original area of study. More information regarding this addition is provided in a comprehensive rationale at the end of the document.
2. Add: On page 79, two new courses, CHEM 231 and CHEM 232:
231, 232 Organic Chemistry I and II (3, 3)
An introduction to modern organic chemistry, including contemporary discussions of structure, properties, synthesis, and mechanisms. These courses are intended for students pursuing a degree in chemistry or a career in the health professions. CHEM 231 prerequisite: CHEM 132. CHEM 232 prerequisite: CHEM 231. CHEM 231: Spring. CHEM 232: Fall.
Impact: More flexibility for students and more efficiency for the Chemistry Department.
Rationale: The curriculum currently has the organic laboratory experience for each organic course built into the same course as the lecture. This means the allowable limit on laboratory enrollment necessitates limiting the enrollment in the lecture. This change allows students to take the organic laboratory at a later date, after they have gained a substantial background in organic chemistry. It also allows the department to advise students to take organic chemistry as their second chemistry course without overburdening the department's limited resources. More information regarding this addition is provided in a comprehensive rationale at the end of the document.
3. Add: On page 79, new course, CHEM 236:
236 General Chemistry II (3)
A general chemistry course with topical coverage including, but not necessarily restricted to chemical equilibria, electrochemistry, acid-base theory, oxidation-reduction concepts, aspects of chemical thermodynamics, and chemical kinetics and reaction mechanisms. Emphasis is placed upon quantitative problem solving. This course is intended for students pursuing a degree in chemistry or a career in the health professions. Prerequisites: Completion of a high school chemistry course, and a satisfactory score on the Chemistry Placement Examination; or CHEM 132. Pre- or corequisite: MATH 167. Spring.
Impact: More flexibility and a better pedagogical experience for the students.
Rationale: The second semester of general chemistry, CHEM 144, is currently taken after CHEM 132, and immediately before organic chemistry. Although this has been a normal order of coverage for decades in chemistry departments around the country, the order does not make good pedagogical sense. The material covered at the end of CHEM 132 is ideally suited to be covered immediately before enrolling in organic chemistry, while the material covered in the second semester of general chemistry is ideally suited to be covered directly before enrolling in inorganic and physical chemistry, two junior-level courses. Equally important is the recognition nationally that organic chemistry is more applicable to the majority of the student audience, biology and environmental studies majors, and pre-health students than second semester general chemistry and should be incorporated into a student's education at an earlier point. The addition of the course allows this to happen. The course being offered at three credit hours also brings this lecture in line with what is done elsewhere around the country. More information regarding this addition is provided in a comprehensive rationale at the end of the document.
4. Add: On page 79, new course, CHEM 237:
237 Analytical Chemistry (2)
A laboratory-based course with emphasis on quantitative analyses including gravimetric, volumetric, electrochemical, and spectrometric analyses. Laboratory experiments are evaluated on technique, accuracy and precision. Topics covered include sampling and sample preparation, acid-base and redox equilibria, thermodynamic properties of ionic solutions, and experimental statistics. Prerequisite: CHEM 145. Pre- or corequisites: CHEM 236 and MATH 191. Spring.
Impact: Strengthens a current weakness in the educational experience of UNCA chemistry majors by bringing their analytical chemistry experience in-line with national trends.
Rationale: The analytical program at UNCA is inconsistent with current modern analytical chemistry. Our new analytical chemist is modernizing and strengthening the analytical experience by adding this course to the curriculum.
5. Add: On page 80, new courses, CHEM 406, 407, and 408:
406, 407, 408 Chemical Literature Research I, II, III (1, 1, 1)
Directed library research and independent study in a specialized area of chemistry, which results in a comprehensive, written report and formal research seminar at the end of CHEM 408. Students submit reports and make presentations documenting their progress at the end of CHEM 406 and 407. CHEM 406 prerequisite: CHEM 415. CHEM 407 prerequisite: CHEM 406. CHEM 408 prerequisite: CHEM 407. CHEM 406: Spring. CHEM 407: Fall. CHEM 408: Spring
Impact: This change provides a more appropriate research experience for BA students, who typically are going into careers where active undergraduate laboratory research is of minimal benefit to them. It will decrease the number of students working in the department's research laboratories, improving the experience for those who are doing undergraduate laboratory research.
Rationale: Many of the students seeking a BA in the major resent having to do research and treat it as just another requirement that must be completed. Moreover, they often do not have the skills to be overly successful in the laboratory and require a substantial amount of extra time and effort from their research advisors. This typically results in frustration for all involved, including the other students working in the lab. This is not what the department wants for its students. This change allows students to participate in a scholarly activity that is more in line with their desires and skills and is more likely to produce a productive result.
6. Delete: On page 81, the entire entry for CHEM 416, 417:
Add: On page 81, in place of the deleted entry:
416, 417, 418 Chemical Research I, II, III (1, 1, 1)
Directed laboratory research and independent study in a specialized area of chemistry which results in a comprehensive, written research report and formal research seminar at the end of CHEM 418. Students also submit reports and make presentations documenting their progress at the end of CHEM 416 and 417. CHEM 416 prerequisite: CHEM 415. CHEM 417 prerequisite: CHEM 416. CHEM 418 prerequisite: CHEM 417. (An IP grade may be given). CHEM 416: Spring. CHEM 417: Fall. CHEM 418: Spring.
Impact: There is no negative resource impact for the department associated with this change. However, there is a positive impact on student morale in that they receive credit for their research effort that is more commensurate with the department's expectation of effort and time. While the department still has the ability to give an IP grade in extraordinary circumstances, the third research course allows the department to move away from the normal issuing of IP grades, which prevent students from receiving semester honors for excellent academic performance.
Rationale: A quality undergraduate research experience takes time, usually more than two semesters. Currently, many students take 416 as a first semester junior and receive an IP grade because their research has not progressed to the point where they are ready for the final research course. Adding CHEM 418 and reintroducing CHEM 415 back into the requirements will allow students to officially take a research- oriented course in five consecutive semesters and avoid the need for an IP grade. This change also brings the amount of academic credit and departmental expectations more in line with each other.
7. Delete: On page 81, the course description and title for CHEM 428:
Add: On page 81, in place of deleted entry:
428 Computational Chemistry (3)
An introduction to the theory and practice of computational chemistry, including molecular mechanics, semi-empirical and ab initio molecular orbital theory, density functional theory, and molecular dynamics. Prerequisite: CHEM 335. Fall.
Impact: Dedicating an entire class to computational chemistry will have a positive impact on the student's education. It also has no resource implications in that the department now has three highly qualified computational chemists capable of teaching this course whenever it is offered.
Rationale: Computational chemistry has been an exploding area of chemistry for the past several years. In the current curriculum, coverage of this area is limited to part of a two-credit course. This change brings the coverage of the material more in line with the importance of computational chemistry in today's world of chemistry. UNCA also has three excellent young computational chemists on staff, giving the institution more expertise in this area than many research institutions. Students need curricular experience in computational chemistry for research with any of these three faculty members.
8. Delete: On page 81, the entire course description for CHEM 429:
Add: On page 81, in place of deleted entry:
429 Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (3)
Covers an array of inorganic chemical concepts including stereochemistry, structure and reaction chemistry of coordination compounds and selected compounds of representative elements, ligand field theory and electronic absorption spectra of transition metal complexes, structural and mechanistic aspects of organometallic compounds, introduction to cluster chemistry, group theory, and aspects of bioinorganic chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 335. Spring.
Impact: No negative impact for the department. This course is already being taught and has simply been expanded by one credit hour to accommodate the inclusion of group theory.
Rationale: The coverage of group theory and computational chemistry were combined into a single class a number of years ago because the department's only computational chemist at the time was its inorganic chemist. Since then, two additional computational chemists have been hired, and the teaching of a computational chemistry course is not limited to one faculty member. Although group theory is applicable to many areas of chemistry, it is most appropriate to have it taught in an inorganic course and the additional credit hour is to accommodate this inclusion.
