1) Clean the Air, Inside and Out
All of the newest wood stoves are certified to strict EPA standards that cut emissions, both inside and outside, by more than 70% compared to uncertified stoves.
Natural gas and propane-fueled stoves and fireplaces are also some of the cleanest burning fuel options available.
Phase 2 certified outdoor wood hydronic heaters, units that burn wood or pellets to provide heat and hot water to homes, are 90% cleaner than unqualified models.
2) Purchase the Most Efficient Product
Most fireplace and stove products are efficiency-rated and assigned a score between zero and 100. Look for the highest efficiency rating — a higher score means the product can burn less fuel but still heat efficiently and effectively.
3) Heat in the Zone
People regularly use less than 40% of their home and using a fireplace, stove or insert to warm the rooms used most (zone heating) allows families to heat more efficiently by turning down their central thermostat, which also saves money — potentially 20-40% of their fuel bill.
4) Explore Renewable Fuels
Many of today's stoves, fireplaces and inserts are engineered to burn biomass. These fuels are derived from renewable and sustainable sources such as wood, pellets, corn, and other alternatives.
5) Burn Wood Wisely
Although today's fireplaces and stoves are cleaner than their older counterparts, using a newer product is only half the battle.
Burn Wood Responsibly: Don't burn trash or plastics, use only the recommended fuel for the product you have.
Maintain your properly installed product: To ensure a product's efficiency, consumers need to have their product properly installed and maintained.
1) Take Advantage of the Stimulus Package
If you don't have a fireplace or stove or want to upgrade the one you have, the recently- passed Economic Stimulus bill includes a 30% tax credit (up to $1,500) for the purchase of a 75%-efficient biomass-burning stove (details on which stoves qualify are expected soon from the IRS).
2) Do the Math and Compare Costs
As the cost of heating oil and natural gas rise, using an energy-efficient wood or pellet stove combined with the tax credit could help you save money. You be the judge: apply our user-friendly calculator to compare the costs of burning different fuels.
3) Keep Heat Inside Your Home
No matter the product, it is important to keep heat within your home. Make sure that seals around windows and doors are tight and that your house is properly insulated.

Area County Farm Bureaus at the "Ag in a Day" teacher workshops helped identify hands-on activities, grant opportunities, farm tours, and free resources for classrooms.
Area County Farm Bureaus at the "Ag in a Day" teacher workshops helped identify hands-on activities, grant opportunities, farm tours, and free resources for classrooms. The workshops were held in June. They were completely free to attend and even included lunch and refreshments both days.
The "Ag in a Day" program is available to all teachers and educators. Workshops were held in two central locations,
Monsanto Agronomy Center in Monmouth and Black Hawk College, East Campus, Galva.
Teachers were invited to attend all courses, where they received free teaching materials, participated in hands-on activities, viewed Ag in the Classroom educational kits, and took field trips to areas of interest in order to learn more about agriculture. Continuing education credits were available at each workshop. An Ag in the Classroom kit was given away at each location.
At the Monmouth workshop, teachers had the opportunity to tour Monsanto and learn about Biotechnology and GMO's. They also participated in a GPS demonstration and learned about "Natural" gardening. The final tour of the day was a tour of Consolidated Grain & Barge - Twomey's Group river terminal near Oquawka, Illinois.
In Galva, teachers learned about the resources available from Illinois Ag in the Classroom, toured a local dairy farm, participated in a Farm Quest Ag Trivia game, and toured Sunnyfield Greenhouse.
The workshops were designed for Preschool - High School educators who wished to expand their curriculum to include topics related to agriculture – the world's food and fiber system. The workshops focused on how to integrate available resources and hands-on activities about agriculture into an existing classroom curriculum.
Teachers interested in Ag in the Classroom may contact the Henry, Knox, Mercer, Peoria, Stark, and Warren-Henderson County Farm Bureaus.

Introduction to the Collections
The holdings of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, some 70,000 volumes, range from medieval documents to first editions of twentieth century authors.
The collections consist primarily of printed books and pamphlets, dating from the 1470s on, including over 100 incunabula. The sixteenth century/STC collections number over 1,400 volumes and contain books printed in sixteenth century Europe or listed in Wing's Short-Title Catalogue of English books, 1475-1700. There are individual books which are rare, and groups of books and pamphlets whose importance lies in the fact that they form a collection of related materials. Rare books include those selected for significant provenance, the quality of the text, historical value, physical features such as printing, binding, maps, and illustrations, or date of publication.
RBSC houses over 100 manuscripts, dating from the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries. Included are medieval legal documents, papal bulls, books of hours, monumental choir books and philosophical and legal codices. The most recent acquisition is a fourteenth century manuscript of the Quodlibeta of Godfrey of Fontaines, a detail of which is reproduced here.
The most significant special collection in the department is the Clementine Library, the remains of the library of the Albani family, whose most prestigious member was Pope Clement XI (1700-21). A large collection of Roman and canon law held both in the Clementine collection and elsewhere in the department includes early printings of Justinian and Gratian, together with records of councils and writings of jurists and canonists from the medieval and early modern periods.
Other collections include the Connolly Irish Collection of eighteenth and nineteenth century books and pamphlets; the Richard N. Foley Collection of modern literature; the Order of Malta collections; the Michael Jenkins Collection on the history of Maryland; and a collection on monumental brasses (the ornamental grave slabs of late medieval tombs). The department holds a growing collection of works on the book arts and history of the book.

Here comes the sun
Hey there, Tech Savvy fans!
Well, happy summer to you all (finally)! It looks like the sun decided to come out and we can only hope that this trend continues for the rest of the season. In honor of this momentous occasion I thought this would be a good week to look at some random fun things for the summer weather. Whether you're at the beach, road-trippin' or just hanging out in the yard with the family, there are lots of great tech items to keep you entertained.
Summer needs a sound track. If you've read the column before you know I am a huge fan of Slacker Online Radio, and they keep making things better. If you haven't been using the service, they continually update their Specialty and Themed station options so there is a revolving door for options for you to listen to. The best part about this service? They have both free and paid services! I personally opted for the first tier subscription so then I have 100 percent music streaming with no interruptions.
The second part to this is a better vehicle to listen to the music through. Sure, cellphone and tablet speakers have come a long way but they are still not up to par with a high quality system. Enter Bluetooth enabled audio. I use two different methods to connect to my devices — Bluetooth gateway and Bluetooth speaker. I've used the Bluetooth gateway for years now. I can plug that into any speaker system with a headphone jack and then my audio plays right through. This works great in the car, at home and on the go traveling. My only complaint with this method is it involves cords — a power cord and an audio cord. While it's not the end of the world, I do find it a bit of an inconvenience to constantly trip over them.
And that's where option two comes in: Bluetooth speakers. Lately I've been using a Jawbone Jambox on loan from Verizon Wireless. Similar to the gateway the Jambox pairs with your smartphone or tablet and is connected wirelessly. That's about where the similarities stop. The Jambox is a self-contained unit that has speakers in an aluminum housing. There are rubberized buttons that control volume, pairing and power. You also have a micro-USB slot for charging and a headphone jack out. The controls are super simple to use and the pairing was effortless, meaning you are up and running within seconds. The headphone jack allows you to daisy chain them together to give yourself a surround-sound effect, which is really great if you're outside or have a lot of people. The speaker itself has great audio quality, crystal clear sound and works well for most genres of music (bass and drum enthusiasts may not be perfectly satisfied). On the go all day? Don't worry, the Jambox has held a charge all day and is a great option for a day at the beach.
Gas Buddy is another app I've been relying on this year. With gas prices so up and down I found myself increasingly frustrated at paying for gas only to discover it was 15 cents less at the station two blocks away. Gas Buddy eliminates that. They're not new to the game but they have been accumulating their database and users to the point where they now have an extensive following which means there are more prices reported in more locations. For me that means I know I will get the best price on gas in my area. They also have a cool program where you get points for reporting gas prices and you can redeem those points for entries in drawings for gas cards. Spend less of your money at the pump and more on ice cream this summer.
Urban Spoon is another great tool on the go. It is essentially a dining app but has some really fun features that work well for us. My family enjoys different kinds of food and we make a point when we travel to try and find something new if we can. With that in mind, it's sometimes difficult for us to pick a place to eat when we aren't too choosy and there are lots of great options. Not only do they have listings with reviews and information, they also have a cool "eeny-meeny-miney-moe" tool that helps people like us choose a place to eat. How it works is you take a slot machine interface, select to lock your location, type of food, price range and it will randomly select an option based on those criteria. This is a fantastic app if you're traveling in another city or if you just feel like trying something new.
Google Now is something I find myself using more and more each day. For you Apple fans out there consider this your Siri but with a little more backbone to it. Google Now incorporates the strengths of your Android phone along with the power of Google. Increasingly I find myself using it to answer questions, get directions and stay on top of my day. It's more than just voice recognition though. Google now also includes weather alerts, ETA to regular haunts and helps manage my day. There has been, and will continue to be, much debate on which is better — Google Now or Siri — but if you watch some video reviews what you find is that the results will vary depending on the task. Here's a rundown of some of Google Now's features: http://www.google.com/landing/now/
Parking apps are worth mentioning this week. It's not a problem every place we go but with three kids and all the stuff we haul around because of it the last thing we want to do after a long day of fun is try to remember where we parked. Especially at the fair, state parks or festivals where there are lots of people and crowded conditions. There are tons of different options for these apps and they are continually getting better but make sure you find one that uses GPS (they all should) and I find it helpful to have the option of taking a picture of my parking location too. Some of the apps will store the picture with the app but even if the app doesn't take a picture — especially if you are in a parking ramp and on a specific level.
Finally, here in the lakes area we have lots of wildlife and plenty to do outdoors so it's definitely time well spent to look up some of the apps used to identify animals or birds for reference. Audubon has a number of apps that vary be region which is nice and there is one called NatureShare which allows you to share great sightings with other people in your area which is really cool.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: when the weather gets this nice out, unplug and get outside. Consider this a PSA from Mother Nature. Don't get me wrong, I rarely go out without my phone just because it's also my camera but you're really missing out if you don't get out, get active and enjoy our short Minnesota summer.

Grae's Rating:
You'll love her...er, him.
Glenn Close first met the character of Albert Nobbs when she portrayed him in the stage play 30 years ago and she's tried hard to bring him to the big screen ever since. Watching her adaptation with director Rodrigo García, it's clear why she worked so hard to share him with us. It seems like her journey bringing this to the screen parallels Albert's experience, and the film serves as a bittersweet testimony to both of them.
The story is nothing particularly new. It feels a little like Gosford Park with more emphasis on poor, expendable servants that pretty much lived a half step ahead of death at all times. I didn't realize that there were women dressing up as men in order to hold jobs and keep themselves alive in 19th century Britain, but it certainly makes sense. This is the lesson Albert learns as a 14-year-old who doesn't know her given name, much less who her mother was, so she does what she has to in order to survive. And it works--the story opens with her as a middle-aged "male" butler in a hotel, having achieved her primary goal of staying alive, but saving money and secretly wishing for more. Glenn Close uses the material to her full advantage, with her eyes working overtime to convey everything you need to know. Her performance is nothing short of spectacular.
She's not alone in making this tale memorable. Everyone else in the cast is a sturdy link in the quietly hopeful story's chain, including the always interesting and staggeringly talented Mia Wasikowska as the young, spirited Helen, the object of the man Nobbs' affection. Brendan Gleeson is gruff and lovable as Dr. Holloran juxtaposed against Pauline Collins as the deplorable hotel owner Mrs. Baker. Janet McTeer surfaces as a painter who is less convincing as a man than Sarah Jessica Parker was as Josh Duhamel's love interest in New Years Eve. However, for a movie brimming with personality, I was willing to forgive its faults.
The heart of the movie beats like a drum, and got me in step from the start. Albert has found a way to maneuver through the perilous system, but that's not the end game for him/her. The meticulously accounted-for wages that s/he squirrels away for a tobacco shop can still never buy a partner to share it with. The movie skirts around directly addressing same-sex relationships but doesn't feel worse for it. Close spends the movie yearning for a reason to unleash her true spirit, but must keep it locked inside, the only evidence of it in her brightly burning eyes. When you see her innocence being taken advantage of, it's just that much more tragic. I haven't seen a character more deserving of happiness this entire year.

We're delighted to have you join us on this great Friday night/morning. This year's Preseason Rankings were tough, because there were many evenly matched teams, but the rankings have finally been decided. WL 2016 Preseason Rankings 1) Red Jody is the master at selling the other captain's on the round he should have to take himself. This team is the favorite, because Jody's coaching and leadership always bring out the most of his roster. If any other captain drafted the teams Jody did, they wouldn't win half the games. This year, the players that Jody doesn't have to teach are what makes this team so dangerous. Hannah Cole is an animal out there, and combining those two with Wax and Corey Duncan gives them a great core group to build around. 2) Green This team looks deeper than this Red Baron Deep Dish Pizza I'm currently munching on right now. Taylor did an excellent job of drafting this time, going for value over JBU. I picture Klus swinging it to Vikki, and her ripping it deep to Bustin and Taylor Stamps quite a bit. The rest of the roster is a bit of a mystery to me personally, but that core just looks too good to not put here. This team can move their Core Team to different positions all over the field too. I really like Taylor Stamps game as a Middle. I think the best Middles are those who can make the "In-Cut" and have good enough throws/decisions to send it or continue the disc, but can also "go deep" and read the disc. Taylor is a good example of a well rounded Middle, that a newer player should watch and learn from. 3) Black Did anybody besides myself make money on the night of the draft by betting that Will would pick the color Black? Will took two speed demons in Drew Hutchinson and Marcus Payne, and combining that with April and Whitney makes this team intriguing. I could see this team being a better Summer League team than Winter League team, due to the need for speed being less, and the need for cutters who can throw being more valuable. Drew Hutchinson is that next guy to develop into a force to be reckoned with, however I don't see as big of a difference in his game and Sam Franklin's as others might. If Drew Hutchinson can play to the Superstar ranking he was given, then this team should have no problem this league, but I have a feeling Drew's talents are more beneficial to Summer League, unless he improves as a throwing cutter. 4) White This team has Pat (and his friend), so I am calling it "Team Sexy". This team has one of the best chances of combining winning and having fun , thanks to John Schmuecker. There's nobody else I would rather play on a team with on a Sunday. Jacob Moore's backhand is one of the prettiest in the league, and is a real benefit to a Winter League team. Combining Jacob's backhand with Cameron's forehand could cause problems for teams that like to force Cameron's team backhand to eliminate those dirty, dirty flicks. I heard Cameron is going for the award of Comeback Player of the League, even if he has to make the award himself because it doesn't exist. 5) Orange Mary and Matthew were not a package this year...she just picked him anyways. This team has to be the fastest team in the league. If it's windy this team will have more of an issue. Going down there whole roster I don't see anyone that can shred a zone in the wind. I just see athletic players/cutters that can continue to work the field play after play. Sometimes you need a good Bjax/Vikki/Boy huck to flip field position, and that could be a downfall we see from this team if it's a windy league. 6) Navy Casey K didn't draft the deepest of teams, but Bjax, Carrie and Casey K could carry this team to some wins. Players like Cody McGuire will have to really step up to the cutter role to help this team consistently move the disc. 7) Purple This team has a good handle core, but could have issues matching up on defense. T-Rav and Treanor are very fast, but besides those two individuals I don't see a lot of speed anywhere else. This team is the exact opposite of Orange. One of these teams will be 7th, I just am not for certain which skill set will win this battle. Pink This isn't Kaplan's team......he didn't sign up. Someone else has chosen the role of the Last Place Pink team this year, and that man is Barry. Barry went with some other variable for drafting other than value, as he picked people on several occasions that could've been selecting on the way back the next round. That really adds up when you compare each matchup you select, and you will see this on the field. On a bright note, this team most likely will have beer....and other activities to enjoy. Sam Franklin is still under-rated although improving a lot in recent years, he could really take another step forward on this team, getting lots of action each point. Along with several others, he should probably do RUB this year, which is our competitive developmental club team (had to get that advertisement in there). May the force be with your team this season! See y'all Sunday!_________________Don't ask "can i?" Ask "i can." Back to top MonsterJoined: 06 Apr 2003Posts: 2946 Posted: Sat, 01.23.16 6:55 pm Post subject: Dude, where are the starting 7?

Week in Review/Preview: Hall of Fame planning for 2012
By Friday, we'll have Hall of Fame inductions in the three major sports out of the way after Artis Gilmore and Dennis Rodman give the Spurs two more former players in Springfield, Mass.
We've had a colorful group this summer. Roberto Alomar, known as much for spitting as playing; Deion Sanders, the best dancer and center fielder in the Pro Football Hall of Fame; and a hair-dying, camera guy-kicking, rebounding machine in Rodman.
Here's a look at some of the candidates for next summer.
The finalists who didn't get in this past year were players Jamaal Wilkes; Maurice Cheeks, who has been a finalist twice now; Ralph Sampson; contributor Al Attles, who played for the Warriors in Philadelphia and coached Golden State's 1974 title team; coach Dick Motta; and official Hank Nichols.
Remember that Cheeks spent 50 games with the Spurs in 1989-90, so there could have been three former Spurs going in on Friday.
But the biggest name to many who wasn't a finalist this year is Reggie Miller.
The Pacers great falls under basketballreference.com's Hall of Fame monitor, but so does Chris Mullin and he'll join the Hall this week.
Foreign names to watch after Lithuanian great Arvydas Sabonis, who won Olympic gold with Russia, enters the Hall on Friday will be Sarunas Marciulionis, Vlade Divac and Toni Kukoc.
The highest vote-getters who missed out this year are Barry Larkin (62.1 percent) and Jack Morris (53.5 percent). A player needs 75 percent to get in, and if Larkin doesn't jump up in his third year on the ballot, there's some fear that no player will.
Morris, a marginal bet for entry, will be in his 13th year on the ballot. It will be interesting to see if the Astros' Jeff Bagwell makes much of a jump from the 41.7 percent he received in his first year.
The reason for fear that no one gets in comes from the lackluster class of first-timers who are five years from retirement.
Bernie Williams, Vinny Castilla, Javy Lopez and Ruben Sierra top the bland list.
Two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Parcells will be eligible for the first time, and the only first-ballot player who might be a shoo-in is 12-time Pro Bowl guard Will Shields of the Chiefs.
That opens the door for finalists who missed out this year — Jerome Bettis, Tim Brown, Cris Carter, Dermontti Dawson, Chris Doleman, Charles Haley, Cortez Kennedy, Curtis Martin, Andre Reed and Willie Roaf.
Any of the trio of Dawson, Kennedy and Roaf could keep Shields waiting, while Brown, Carter and Reed could make 2012 the year of the receiver.
Chasing 20 triples
Until a left hamstring strain put him on the disabled list at the first of July, Mets shortstop Jose Reyes was close to becoming just the eighth player since 1950 with 20 triples in a season.
He had 15 when he got hurt on July 2 and he sat until July 19. He had been on pace for more than 23 triples, something no one has done since the Pirates' Kiki Cuyler had 26 in 1925.
Reyes hit his 16th triple on July 21 in his third game back, but has played in 11 games without one. It's not hard to imagine him stepping off the gas in his run to history to avoid getting hurt again.
Here are those who have reached 20 since 1950:
• Curtis Granderson, 23, Tigers, 2007
• Willie Wilson, 21, Royals, 1985
• Lance Johnson, 21, Mets, 1996
• Willie Mays, 20, Giants, 1957
• George Brett, 20, Royals, 1979
• Cristian Guzman, 20, Twins, 2000
• Jimmy Rollins, 20, Phillies, 2007
Throwing more than five shutouts
On Thursday, the Phillies' Cliff Lee threw his fifth shutout of 2011. That's significant because no one has surpassed five in a season since the Dodgers' Tim Belcher had eight in 1989.
Lee is the seventh to reach five since, and he entered this year never having more than two in a season.
The desire for lower pitch counts is one reason we don't see as many shutouts. Lee's gems this season have had 99, 117, 126, 112 and 106 pitches. Shutouts Nos. 2-4 were in consecutive outings from June 16-28.
Rangers lefty Derek Holland has four shutouts with 112, 119, 118, 95 pitches.

The bride chose her sisters as Matrons of Honor, Lindsay Larsen of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Hayley Schick of West Des Moines.

Mark Currie of Overland Park, Kansas, was his brother's Best Man. Groomsmen were David Currie, brother of the groom from Fort Collins, Colorado, Thomas Down from Oxford, Iowa, Jeff Siebrecht from Des Moines, and Nick Fischenich from Maple Grove, Minnesota, friends of the groom. Ushers for the couple were friends of the groom, Tyler Hogue from Ankeny, Paul Bloyer from Onalaska, Wisconsin, Josh Ness from St. Louis Park, Minnesota, and Tyler Schick, brother-in-law of the couple from West Des Moines. The wedding party processed to Fanfare by Lemmens played on the pipe organ and trumpets by Doug and Jeff Currie, uncle and cousin of the groom.
The bride was escorted down the aisle by her father. Johanna Carey, relative of the bride from Marion was the flower girl. The ring bearer was Axton Miller, relative of the groom from Odebolt. A duet of When I Say I Do by Matthew West, was sung by Hayley Schick and David Currie while the couple lit the unity candle. Readers for the service were Brent Larsen, uncle of the bride, from Houston, Texas, and Susan Fisk, aunt of the groom, from Frederick, Colorado. Hostesses were Laura Vander Tuig of Des Moines, friend of the bride, and Angie Currie, from Overland Park, Kansas, sister-in-law of the couple.
Following the ceremony, a reception dinner and dance was held at the Edina Country Club, Edina, Minnesota. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii and now make their home in Plymouth, Minnesota. Mr. and Mrs. Currie are employed by Ernst and Young in Minneapolis. Chelsey is an auditor and Steve is in Information Security.

BOSTON, Mass. - The men's cross country team finished 17th in the 47 team field this past Saturday at the New England Championships at Franklin Park in Boston. The Engineers were the top NEWMAC squad in the five mile race. Brown University cruised to victory with five runners placing in the top 20. Senior captain Owen Washburn led the way for Brown with a first place finish in 24:56.
Fivos Constantiou, who has already garnered NEWMAC Runner of the Week honors twice this season, led the way for the Engineers. Constantinou completed the race in 26:01 en route to a NEWMAC best 38th place finish. The other participants for MIT did not place in the top 60.
The Engineers next travel to Albany, New York for the Albany State Invitational on Saturday, October 15.

Bioware at Comic-on .
To resume :
So .
1 - Well i don't mind as long as the story/characters/development/gameplay are amazing .
2 - Hope they put more "Tactical choice"
For console users , dunno if it's a good thing to change the battle system .
"Dialogue has been simplified so that you only have up to three choices. Each choice is represented by an icon that indicates whether or it's a "good," "nasty," or "badass" choice. Good choices are represented by an olive branch, nasty by a Greek comedy mask, and badass by a red fist. This is an easy way to gauge what response your dialogue choices will produce."
Eh ? does it means that we only got 3 choices for every dialogue .
Like .
Leliana : "Do you like my song?"
Warden's choice :
- "Yes i really do"
- "Na , it stinks , better listening my dog"
- "Hell yeah i want to be in the group too"
And the color effect , i find it too easy to be a saint now .
"The title screen already has a "Downloadable Content" option."
Really not surprised .

It was interesting to mold your character as you saw fit, at least with the other roleplayable replies available. This feels like a step back.
But if the conversations are well-written, then I guess that's what really matters in the end.

I'm not sure what to make of the character design so far. I mean, it looks good... but it also looks highly unique, as if that's the only piece of armour available for him.
Perhaps, Bioware is just going to make it customizable ala Mass Effect 2?
Man, I hope not! Surely, with other classes available to the player character, there will also be different kinds of equipment available.

My most anticipated game aside from me3, 2011 can't come soon enough. I do hope that they give more thought for the female players this time around tho. The armour designs were really ugly in the first, they ought to try harder to make it more appealing/sexy for the females. I don't mind the me style wheel or the voice, but it's all gonna make the game so much shorter. I heard that the game will be about 50% shorter than origins? Though that might be a good thing. I was kinda annoyed how long the main quests to get the whole alliance together took, especially the dwarfs and the fade thing. I just wanted to die, too much fighting and squatting around, and too little story telling between. Thanks cheese there is a mod for the fade, I could never do that labyrinth again. I really hope they won't tone down the characters interaction on the expense of all the new fighting tweaks, but I am happy that mages are also getting the slow motion killing blow, can't wait to see that.
Can't wait for the trailer either, hopefully we will get to see more companions in it.

I'm actually glad that Origins didn't have sexy plate. The whole 'armor for ladies should be sexy' thing has always been a pet peeve of mine. It's perfectly fine if the game intends to be fanservicy from the start (like, say, Queen's Blade) but in a game with a serious story, it just looks horribly out of place.

I'm not really talking about Queen's blade sexiness plate either, lol. But just, you know, a little more attractive mage robes and armour wouldn't hurt. Or at least more sophisticated, with belts, feathers and other accessories. I liked Morrigan's default outfit for instance, it was pretty neat, just the right balance of skin exposure, with her top more revealing and legs covered with awesome pants, so it didn't scream desperate. I might have a slight occupational psychosis tho, but it really would be nicer to have more womanly gear not just a tin can and some coloured cassock. And I know a lot of girls who played da agree with me as well. Clothes are important, just ask Leliana

Looks like they're really taking this 'change in art-direction' thing forward with the new qunari designs. Now it's revealed that a 'few' of them are naturally born with horns, and don themselves with red tribal body-paint, akin to red indian tribals more than who they seemed to represent in the previous game.
Not sure how I'm feeling about this to be honest. On one hand, they're trying to make the difference in races more visually distinctive than just 'big large man with grey-toned skins', but it also seems like they're just going with whatever the hell that works, and just 'tweak' the lore a little bit to fit whatever the team is doing.
Kinda like how in Mass Effect 2, some people are in possession of new security droids and thermal clips when they aren't supposed to, being castaway for decades.

U.S. Salary Increase Budgets for 2011
- Authors:
Publication Date:
July 2010
With a median increase of 2.5 percent in 2010, salary increase budgets remain historically low but projections for 2011 show a modest increase to 3.0 percent—an indication that the economic recovery has not yet picked up enough strength to significantly raise salary budgets. Pay for performance rather than general increase remains a dominate trend. The data analysis in this report is based on the responses of 313 organizations and includes four employee groups: non-exempt hourly (non-union), non-exempt salaried, exempt, and executive.

If i recall correctly, you must submit:
1) One picture of the character in swimwear.
2) One picture of the character in evening/winter/formal clothes.
3) A brief description of the character's skills and qualities.
For this one it can be either a few lines of text or a short comic introducing the character.
4) The character must answer 3 questions. Clever and amusing answers are normally the key to gain lots of votes.
When i used to run this show, i had a completely oblivious newbie giving me the questions. It was king of amusing to pick someone randomly in the chat and demand: "Give me 3 questions that would fit in a personality test! I can't explain you what they are for, just gimme the questions!"
Here's an example from Miss Comicgen 2007
Sgt. Sanja Kay from SDXF
Swimsuit and winterwear pictures:
Skills and abilities:
Sargeant Sanja Kay is a field medic, trained to provide first-aid in the middle of a battle. She's proficient in the use of light firearms, proved to be more than capable at driving most ground wheeled vehicles (from bikes to armoured trucks), knows how to operate small boats and is also an excellent scuba diver.
Her major skill is, however, her impressive ability to talk some sense into the overly-impulsive and overly-agressive Cpt. Lynx.
1) If you could have one superpower what would it be and why?
2) If you could listen to only three songs for the rest of your life what would they be?
3) What are your three most favourite things to do?

Seed caches
4 comments:
- Tape worm said...
Thank you!!!! I've seen so many seeds or spawns that where obviously just tossed out to "use" the seed. I have found a few where that is not the case, but the majority of them are this way. Plus for some reason they seem to be placed far from where the cacher is lives, and maintenance on them isn't very good.
Two thumb's up from me. :)

This brings up an interesting point. With the emergence of sites like Garmin's OpenCaching, is Geocaching.com still going to unilaterally decide what the "rules" of geocaching are going to be? And if they do, should they?

- IowaAdmin said...
Geocaching.com can and does set rules for using their listing service to publish geocaches. To me, that does not mean they unilaterally decide what the rules of geocaching are, because, as you pointed out, if someone doesn't like the rules at Geocaching.com, they can use a different listing service. So far, based on numbers of caches listed each day, geocachers continue to heavily favor the value and quality they receive from Geocaching.com.

Very well put Ken!!!
We all know I use a few different cache sites for my listings. (Won't name them here out of respect for Ken). Some times I come up with a cool idea but no matter how I shape it, it just won't fit into the guidelines. Ken has always been more than helpful when I come into one of those and had a question. Very quick to answer them for me, and he's given me ideas on how I could make it fit. GC.com doesn't make up all the "rules" in the game, they just make up for there web listing service. Most of them are for good reasons, and have been developed over time just as the game has. A few things I wish they would clamp down on, and a few things I wish they would loosen, but that's a whole other topic. But I always do have that decision that I can list it on a different web listing service. I guess my main point is I agree with Ken, you can always list it on another weblisting service. And yes I do believe the sites can coexist without bickering, pointing fingers, and people just plain old ripping one of them apart because they don't like it. Cache how you want to cache, just remember respect other peoples property. (land owners rules and property, cache containers, and SWAG or other cachers property)

Find the perfect Bookshelf Speakers for just about any room.
There's no better way to get quality audio in a tight space than a pair of nice Bookshelf Speakers. Floor standing speakers are great when you have the room for them, but sometimes all you've got is, well, a bookshelf. Luckily, there are tons of options for small speakers that can produce some pretty remarkable audio while tucked beside a row of hardcovers.
Bookshelf speakers also make great rear surround sound speakers, and are often timbre-matched to larger speakers to make a sonically-seamless set. Shop Abt's entire selection of bookshelf speakers, from top brands like Bowers & Wilkins, MartinLogan, Klipsch and more. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to give one of our Sales Specialists a call at 888.228.5800.
In addition to being a proud retailer of Appliances and Electronics, Abt offers custom audio and video installations. Contact Abt's Custom Audio / Video Department by phone at 847.544.2307 or send an email to email@example.com for more information about the services we offer.
Bookshelf speakers are available to fit any budget, starting as low as under $100 a pair. They're generally less than 18 inches tall, and usually only 6-8 inches wide. You can put them wherever you've got shelf space, and some manufacturers also make special Speaker Stands, which are perfect for positioning surround sound speakers behind a couch. A pair of bookshelf speakers and a simple receiver are also an ideal way to listen to music from your iPod, smartphone or tablet, especially if you're not satisfied with the sound from small speaker docks.

Topic: Pain of Salvation for Summers End fest,UK
Posted: March 25 2007 at 10:32
The Summers End Festival is pleased to announce the second group of three bands to be confirmed for this years event, to be held at The Robin, Bilston on September 15th and 16th.
We are very excited to welcome our first headliner, Swedens PAIN OF SALVATION. Fronted by the talented and charismatic Daniel Gildenlow, the band this year celebrates a decade of recording with their sixth studio album Scarsick. Combining varied and dynamic progressive rock with strong metal elements, the band make thought-provoking and emotional music, and are well known for their inspirational and imaginative live shows. This appearance marks a rare chance for UK fans to see the band in concert, playing a full set.
Our next confirmed overseas artists are YESTERDAYS, Hungarian nationals based in Romania. This remarkable 8-piece band plays dynamic, melodic progressive rock with its inspiration firmly in the 1970s, spiced with a touch of traditional Hungarian music. Stunning female vocals from Kinga Janosi combine with flute, guitar and analog keyboards on their excellent album Holdfenykert (Moonlit garden), which is often reminiscent of Yes and Renaissance.
We are very happy to welcome to the festival former Enid guitarist Nick Mays band WHIMWISE, which also includes keyboard player Gonzalo Carrera (Karnataka) and multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Alquemia, among others. Their unusual music combines a strong classical structure with rock and electronic instrumentation, while still remaining fundamentally accessible.
Other bands announced:
Solstice (UK) http://solsticewebsite.com
Abarax (Germany) http://www.abarax.de
Tinyfish (UK) http://www.tinyfish.org
Further details including a pre-show event, ticket sales and the festival schedule will be announced in the next few weeks.

It was intended to be a "throwaway" song, the seldom-played B-side of a 45-rpm record produced in a New York recording studio in 1969.
Instead, it became an A-side No. 1 hit single for a band called Steam, a song whose simple but catchy chorus became an enduring sports anthem chanted by sports fans around the world to taunt an opposing team:
"Na Na Na Na. Na Na Na Na. Hey Hey Hey. Goodbye."
Paul Leka, 68, a composer who co-wrote and produced "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," died of lung cancer Oct. 12 in a hospice near his home in Sharon, Conn., said his sister, Evelyn Kreta.
As a songwriter, producer and arranger, Leka was the co-writer and producer of the Lemon Pipers' 1968 No. 1 hit "Green Tambourine."

200,000 euros per square metre: Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat leads the current ranking of the world's most exclusive residential addresses
- Engel & Völkers publishes its first-ever world ranking
Hamburg, 18 December 2014. The most expensive residential address in a global comparison is on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula on the Côte d'Azur. It is followed in the ranking by prestigious residential locations in Hong Kong, East Hampton, London and New York. These are the results of the ranking of the world's most exclusive residential addresses just published by Engel & Völkers. The company has recorded the most expensive property transactions worldwide based on its own brokerage deals and on market analyses carried out over recent months.
A villa on the Avenue Claude Vignon on the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula was sold for approximately 120 million euros, with an interior spanning some 600 square metres. This translates into a top price per square metre of 200,000 euros and therefore the highest priced sale of a residential property registered by Engel & Völkers.
The Chinese special administrative zone of Hong Kong occupies second place. In the new "Twelve Peaks" building development on Mount Kellett Road in The Peak area of Hong Kong Island, penthouses sold for around 83.2 million euros, which converts into approximately 190,000 euros per square metre of living space.
East Hampton, situated at the eastern end of Long Island in the US state of New York, comes in third place. An estate situated on a generously sized parcel of land with its own private lake on Further Lane sold for around 147 million US dollars (approx. 118 million euros). This is equivalent of around 168,600 euros per square metre of living space.
"Top prices on the global residential property markets are most apparent where the availability of homes is exceptionally scarce due to unique locations with extremely restricted land space, where demand is nevertheless very high", said Christian Völkers, CEO of Engel & Völkers AG. "With high-end properties, the critical factor is always the micro-location, which might even be the right side of a road or the unforgettable views. Properties in these locations very rarely change hands," he continued.
Spectacular new building projects are enhancing top locations still further, leading to record prices. Even in Germany, where in global terms the most expensive addresses rank lower down on the list, new developments in Munich, Hamburg and Berlin are still reaching price highs.
The British capital London ranks in fourth place. For a two-storey penthouse in the residential complex known as "One Hyde Park" on Knightsbridge, one square metre costs in excess of 150,000 euros.
The property market in the metropolitan area of New York is one of the most expensive in the world, and is characterised by a high level of international demand. Apartments around Central Park in Manhattan have traditionally been considered as some of the most desirable in the world. On the corner of 59th Street and 5th Avenue a penthouse with breathtaking views over the city was sold for approx. 120,600 euros per square metre. This value puts New York in fifth place.
In sixth place is Avenue d'Ostende, which overlooks the marina in Monaco as well as affording unobstructed views of the Prince's Palace. Particularly high-end residential property here sells for around 100,000 euros per square metre.
Sardinia, where there have hardly been any transactions in recent months in the highest priced locations such as Romazzino Bay due to the sheer lack of properties on the market, comes in seventh place in the ranking list. In several very isolated cases, prices of as much as 95,000 euros per square metre were recorded in Romazzino Bay.
On the world-famous Boulevard de la Croisette in Cannes (eighth place), up to 70,000 euros were paid for premium properties where everything from the location to the interior meets the desirable standards.
Another very sought after region is the southern Atlantic coastline in the US state of Connecticut. In Greenwich, Indian Field Road is currently setting the benchmark in terms of price highs. In March of this year, the "Copper Beech Farm" sold for around 120 million US dollars (equivalent to approx. 96.1 million euros). This works out at a value per square metre of around 69,000 euros, bringing Greenwich on the ninth place.
Palm Beach is a popular and well-known luxury holiday destination in the US state of Florida. Residences situated directly on South Ocean Boulevard are realizing top prices of around 52,400 euros per square metre. This ensures place number ten for Palm Beach.
Prices per square metre in the upmarket Swiss ski resort of Gstaad and the Swiss city and congress venue of Geneva reached as much as 50,000 euros, securing eleventh place in the ranking list.
It is followed in 12th place by Moscow with its prime residential district of Kropotkinskaya. This area boasts a central location, not far from the Kremlin on the Moskva River. The highest price per square metre was achieved by a property in the residential road known as Butikovskiy per., at around 44,500 euros.
The island and city state of Singapore ranks in 13thplace on the list. On Paterson Hill, one of the prime residential addresses above the city, a new high-rise building recorded top prices of 44,000 euros per square metre.
Tokyo occupies 14th place on the ranking list. The most expensive residential neighbourhood in the Japanese capital is the Minami-Azabu district, where this year a price of approx. 41,000 euros per square metre was paid for one exceptional apartment.
Paris and the renowned ski resort of St. Moritz feature in 15th place on the ranking list. The most sought-after addresses in the French capital belong to apartments in the famous Avenue Montaigne, where top prices have reached up to 40,000 euros per square metre. The residential road is not far from the majestic boulevard Avenue des Champs-Élysées, home to many well-known international fashion designers.
Prices of as much as 40,000 euros per square metre are being paid for premium properties in St. Moritz as well, on the famous Suvrettahang hillside on the Via Suvretta.
The North Sea island of Sylt is still where the most expensive houses in Germany can be found. Addresses such as Hobookenweg in the desirable mudflat region of Kampen attract prices per square metre of up to 35,000 euros, taking it to 16th place.
Los Cabos, a community at the southern tip of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, lies in 17th place. Here, in the exclusive "El Dorado Golf & Beach Club", prices per square metre have risen to as much as 31,900 euros.
The highest priced residential property in Vienna is situated on Tuchlauben in the 1st District, where prices in 2014 peaked at 30,000 euros per square metre for upmarket penthouses. This puts the Austrian capital in 18th place.
In the premier locations of Majorca, prices per square metre reached approx. 27,000 euros on Calle Castanyetes in Port d'Andratx. This puts the popular holiday island in 19th place.
Premium prices are also being paid in the prime locations of Miami (placed 20th). Exclusive properties with ocean frontage on Star Island, a private island off Miami Beach, are particularly desirable amongst the international clientele. On the reputable residential road Star Island Drive, the price per square metre has reached around 25,200 euros.
Holmby Hills is one of the best residential districts in the west of Los Angeles and ranks in 21nd place. Together with the famous district of Bel Air and its easterly neighbour, Beverly Hills, Holmby Hills forms the so-called "Platinum Triangle", home to many celebrities, including many from the entertainment industry. Here the unique "Fleur de Lys" estate changed hands in 2014 for around 25,100 euros per square metre.
This will be followed by the Müllerstraße in Munich, the Appelzakstraat in the Belgian holiday resort of Knokke-Heist and the HafenCity in Hamburg, in joint 22st place with 25,000 euros per square metre.
In 23rd place comes the Seeuferstraße on Lake Starnberg with a price per square metre of up to 22,900 euros.
In Berlin (ranked 24th), a penthouse on Hausvogteiplatz in the historic city centre was the most expensive address, with a price per square metre reached of up to 22,000 euros.
The Gold Coast of the Swiss banking metropolis of Zurich makes the final section of the list in 25th place, with prices per square metre of up to 21,500 euros.
"The residential property markets in the locations surveyed by Engel & Völkers are barely dependent on the economic situation of individual national economies, as the international demand in the premium market segment is very high. More and more people, especially newly affluent buyers from Eastern Europe, Asia and South America, are looking for international luxury properties around the world as a secure capital investment," insists Christian Völkers. "Wealthy buyers are looking out for unique and iconic properties at the best addresses in cities and second home destinations, which often become collectors' items. The highest prices per square metre will continue to be realized where scarcity ensures that properties are set to remain exclusive".
Not every property in a prime location will sell at the maximum prices quoted in the ranking list. The analysis by Engel & Völkers focusses on absolutely exceptional locations and properties, which meet the very highest standards in terms of location, fittings and comfort. Only a fraction of the property transactions in the individual locations achieve the top prices cited in this analysis. Since properties in this highly exclusive market sector only rarely come on the market, these top prices naturally cannot be confirmed or exceeded year on year.

Old National Guard Armory is demolished
A contractor demolished the old Texas National Guard Armory on College Street to make way for a new city of Beaumont health department.
A pile of rubble is all that remains of the 50-plus-year-old building, which had asbestos removed from it before demolition, similar to the now-gone Oil City Brass Works building in downtown near the Event Centre that had once been considered as a new home for the Texas Children's Museum.
The health department, on Washington Boulevard, will be able to collect all of its functions under one roof when it's built.
It also will be close to major medical centers on College Street and on Calder Avenue.
