Apple on Friday released iOS 7 version 7.0.6 and iOS 6 version 6.1.6. Both are no available as over-the-air (OTA) downloads. Apple describes the 7.0.6 update thus:
"This security update provides a fix for SSL connection verification."
Update 1: Apple has posted the security update contents.
We'd hoped Apple would address the deeper issues, including the frequent re-springs suffered by many users on iOS 7, but that still seems to be waiting on the too-long-in-coming iOS 7.1 update on track for March. If you download and install the update, let us know how it works for you, and if you see any other changes, tell us all about them.
Update 2: Apple has released a matching update for the Apple TV, version 6.0.2.

In today's millennial-inspired economy, social media marketing is dead. I didn't say social media is dead — just the idea that social media marketing is the most effective approach to win over millennials.
Yes, millennials are heavy social media users and are 2.5 times more likely to adopt new digital, social and mobile tools. What drives social media activation for millennials, however, is content excellence.
Marketers are often pegged with questions related to the future of social media such as: Is Facebook still relevant? What's the next social platform? Which is most powerful — a like, a share, a re-tweet, or a favorite?
While these are all fair questions, attempting to grade the social landscape in this manner is counterproductive and missing the greater point.
Your approach to content is what will make or break your marketing communication efforts in the future. Social media is simply one way to activate your content strategy.
Re-imagine creative excellence within a content excellence framework
For more than 40 years, the great brands of yesterday were focused on creative excellence. They crafted the perfect message and then pushed those messages out via various shotgun methodologies, hoping to build brand awareness and regard for their cherished products.
Brand awareness and credibility alone will not correlate in any way to extraordinary and sustainable financial performance.
Think of content as an opportunity for your brand voice to live everywhere you are not. We used to think of advertising as a means of communicating a message to a certain audience. But traditional advertising messages are limited to their medium. People experience brands in fluid ways and we can no longer simply rely on creative advertising to make an impact. Content is about the message and the context.
Your content strategy should be about activating and engaging your digital community in ways that traditional advertising never could.
Focus on creating content that is "share-worthy"
Millennials share content that interests them, not content that companies want them to share.
The idea of content being "share-worthy" is nothing new. Marketers used to encourage sharing by word-of-mouth. Today we talk about sharing by word-of-mouse. The "share" is no anomaly — we've just shifted from a mindset of advertising ideas to creating ideas that are worth advertising. Treating content in that manner ensures your message is meaningful to your audience.
Remember the Seinfeld "Break Up" episode? George says, "It's not you — it's me." Sharing is rooted in peer affirmation and how millennials feel about themselves when they share content with friends, family and random strangers. The great brands of tomorrow will not simply push out social media messages — they will inspire sharing. Millennials share content that adds to their story, and bypass content that doesn't.
Unique content will drive sustained brand success
In the future, the most successful brands will get consumers who are active participants to create more content on behalf of the brand than the brand creates for its own benefit. The key to this content is maintaining a certain level of uniqueness and meaningfulness.
The most unique and meaningful brands will have the highest probability of sustained economic performance. Uniqueness will be a proxy for brand-pricing authority and meaningfulness will be a proxy for sales volume potential.
5 implications for brand strategy professionals:
- Build a content excellence strategy first.
- Think about content and social media as different players. Integration will drive performance. Social media marketing isn't a strategy.
- Inspiration is your brand responsibility.
- Useful is the new cool. Your content should be functional and inspiring.
- Participation increases brand value. Find ways for your most avid brand fans to join the movement.

The numbers are staggering: 37 seasons, 608 wins, 273 conference victories, 21 Ivy League titles, and 15 wins in 22 NCAA Tournament appearances.
But for all of the accolades Harvard men's tennis coach Dave Fish '72 has accrued in his career, there is just one number that continues to motivate him after all these years: five.
"As a coach, my goal is to find five elusive points in a match that we can win that we'd otherwise lose," Fish said. "If we find those five points, it can turn a 6-3, 6-3 loss into a 7-5, 6-4 win. So mine is a quest for those five points. It means that everything we do in practice matters. There's always something every day you have to get your teeth into, and if you don't bring that intensity every day, you don't make any progress. You don't find those five points."
It is Fish's commitment to excellence and drive to constantly improve that has contributed to the success of Harvard tennis over the past four decades. Fish may be the Crimson's all-time leader in wins and has led the team to unparalleled heights, but his desire for even more still burns strong.
"Every year, I want to do something better than I did it before. If you love what you're doing, then there's no such thing as burnout," Fish points out. "So I've never been burned out as a coach. To me, it's a privilege to do it. So I can't wait to come to work and strive to be better every day."
Throughout his decorated career, Fish has seen the times and the game change. But 45 years after arriving at Harvard as a freshman, he remains at the place where it all began.
Fish came to Cambridge in the fall of 1968 to a campus torn apart by student protests over the Vietnam War, but quickly found a mentor in Jack Barnaby '32, the legendary Crimson coach who coached Fish in both tennis and squash and whose Harvard records he has since surpassed.
"Part of the reason we were so fond of [Barnaby] is that he was the lighthouse while the rest of the world was spinning," Fish recalled. "He didn't care how long our hair was, how we felt about the war. He just gave us a set of values—to be a good person, to be honest—and didn't worry about the peripherals."
The young Fish excelled under Barnaby's tutelage, becoming captain of both the tennis and squash teams. During his time as an undergraduate, he led the squash team to three national championships, and played for two tennis teams that took shares of Ivy League titles.
But more importantly, the more Fish learned from Barnaby and saw how he had built two squads into national powerhouses, the more Fish himself was intrigued by the idea of coaching.
"I realized there was a kernel of me that really loved coaching," Fish said. "I would always ask, 'Who's going to take over after you, Jack? You've built a great program here, and someone's got to care about it as much as you do.' I wasn't quite admitting to myself that I was the person who would do it."
Directly after graduation, Fish did not initially stay on at Harvard to begin a coaching career. After spending a year traveling and coaching tennis, he came back to Cambridge and began his work as a pre-med student.
But as he embarked on even more schooling, he realized that he missed coaching.
Finally, over dinner one night, Barnaby asked Fish if he'd ever consider coming back and coaching the Crimson.

Product Details
Bahtinov Focus Mask for all newer Celestron 9.25" SCTs. Virtually all newer Celestron SCTs have the larger secondary holder for Fastar or they are "Fastar Ready." The FP412H also works without HyperStar. Select FP412H for newer Celestrons.
Farpoint Bahtinov focus mask for astrophotography - Manufacturer part number FP412H.
Farpoint Bahtinov Masks are by far, the easiest, fastest and most consistent manual focusing aid available to the amateur astrophotographer. In 2008, Pavel Bahtinov, a Russian amateur telescope maker and astronomer, published an ingenious new way to easily focus your DSLR camera, webcam or CCD camera for astrophotography. The method is simple, very intuitive, and the device has universally been named after the inventor: The Bahtinov Mask.
Prior to the innovative design of the Bahtinov Mask, astrophotographers could spend ten minutes or more just obtaining a reasonable focus. Problems with seeing, exposure length, and camera noise all increased the difficulty of and time spent finding perfect focus. With the Farpoint Bahtinov Mask, the process of finding the perfect focus whether it be through a DSLR, CCD or a WebCam takes a matter of seconds because the process is unaffected by seeing, noise and allows short exposure lengths!
Simply place a magnitude 4 or brighter star in the field of view of your camera, place the Farpoint Bahtinov Mask over your telescope's objective and focusing becomes as simple as centering an easy to see diffraction spike!
Farpoint manufactures this "lifesaving" astrophotography tool out of virtually indestructible ABS plastic, which comes in two major types (for refractors and SCTs) and in a range of sizes. The Farpoint Bahtinov Mask will ensure that you spend more time imaging and less time focusing for years to come! Whether you focus manually or electronically, the Farpoint Bahtinov Mask is an essential tool for any astrophotographer.

Ed, can't thank you enough for the post. That is exactly what I was looking for. What a great site. I would appreciate seeing Johns photo also.
If the purpose of this was 'heat insulation' from the muffler, what is the possibility that when they changed the exhaust configuration, and added the resonators forward of the muffler, that they also deleted this material? There would be more heat dissipated forward of that point, and less heat at the muffler with that change....Gary / 69Z28-RS

I have the fortunate privilege to not only be the owner of my graphic design company, Kristal Clear Graphics, but I'm also a full-time mom who gets to stay home with her two kids. So now as a mom of a four and one year, I have a fun variety of topics I talk about during my day from branding and design details to Barney and Bottles. A couple months after my son was born, I was feeling stumped in trying to come up with a topic for a newsletter that I was writing to my clients and contacts. I asked my daughter, who was 3 years old at the time, "What should I talk about in my business newsletter?" She replied with an obvious answer … "princesses!"
I don't know how she became obsessed with princesses as my husband and I tried our hardest to DIScourage the princess phenomenon, but it still came. So I thought to myself, "Ok, Kristal, you've got a creative mind for your design projects, why not put a creative spin on princesses for your newsletter. So this is how it turned out, and I'd like to share it with you:
Remember the last time you were in line at the grocery store looking at the tabloids and you saw that regular article about the celebrity that looked less than perfect. Maybe they gained a lot of weight, were caught by the photographer without their makeup and dressed in sweats, or just looked intoxicated. Whatever the mishap, it's our human nature to think what we're seeing on the celebrity is undesirable.
The next step of the process is to decide what to believe about the celebrity. Was their image taken out of context and you give them the benefit of the doubt or do you develop negative feelings from that image that make you dislike them and possibly even boycott their music/movie/TV show/etc. So the moral of the story is it's in the celebrity's best interest to always look like a princess (or a prince)!
How does this pertain to your business? Well, a celeb's face, personality, actions, etc are the brand and image they create for themselves. It's a little different from your business's brochures and web site, but both market to their audiences with these tools. Just as a celebrity could lose popularity and eventually money based on bad decisions they make with their image, businesses who don't put a "pretty princess" face on won't thrive amongst their competition either.
For instance, imagine you're a customer looking for a tailor to make alterations for that special "princess/prince" attire you need for a wedding. An acquaintance gives you a business card of someone from their networking group. The paper is flimsy with a random clip art image of a dress and suit on it. It has their company name in text but no logo and you can tell the owner printed it off their computer. It doesn't feel like a very professional establishment, but you go look at their web site anyway. It's quite obvious they made it themselves as well. It's very plain, hard to navigate, and little sense of design organization. Not completely comfortable with trusting your formal attire to this place you google other area shops. It's no surprise you didn't find the first shop in your google search, but you do find one nearby who's web site gives you a much better feeling. Their logo and design style is prominent, professional looking, plus it's consistent throughout the pages of the site as you discover it's quite easy to navigate. Your last discovery is that both shops quote you at the same price. Which company do you feel more comfortable going with? Obviously the one who's first impression was a professional one you could trust.
Now there's no reason both companies couldn't perform upright, quality service, but there is a reason they had to come up with the phrase, "Don't judge a book by its cover." It's because it's human nature to do just that, and in this day and age when people's attention span is so fast your business can't afford to not look its best. Instead, you always need to make your business look like a princess.
If you'd like more information about how you can give your business an attractive cover that will make your clients choose your product or service from amongst your competition, contact me today and let Kristal Clear Graphics turn your business into a princess.

I have decided to ditch my 2 40Lb tanks and swap for two 20's, keeping one on line and one spare.
Now for where to put them. I have a 1986 DC model and was wondering where and how to route my LPG line into the boat. My latest thoughts are to put the LPG tank on the Fly Bridge and route the gas line down through the existing hole along with my steering cables. This would get the line into the boat and down into the engine compartment and up into the forward head. From here I can go through the bulkhead and make my connection to the stove from possibly the cabin under the stove.
This takes care of my stove. Now for item No. 2. Can I get a "Y" or "T" connector and put it in the forward head so I can connect to both the stove and instant-on hot water heater? Or, do I have to run 2 separate lines from the Fly Bridge? I haven't checked yet so I am not sure if either or both of these items requires a regulator or not. If both do or both dont I have no problem and I'm back to original question about "Y" or "T". If one does and one dont require a regulator, then I have no choice but to go with 2 separate lines.
Although this is a 'pointy fron't houseboat, these questions are somewhat generic.
Thanks in advance.

2. Building a Literary Community
3. Asking Questions
4. Facilitating Discussion
5. Seminar Discussion

you are a classroom or preservice teacher, teacher educator,
content leader, department chair, or administrator, the materials
below can assist you in implementing the practices presented
in the video clip.
Popcorn Reading
Many teachers like to use popcorn reading (metaphorically
named for the way students pop in and out) when they want
to hear from a number of students, without reverting to the
row-by-row (or around the circle) tedium of round robin reading.
Without naming anyone specific, a teacher invites students
to begin reading. When that person finishes, another student
is expected to follow, again without explicit direction from
the teacher. The process continues until everyone has taken
a turn. With popcorn reading, students have the responsibility
of participation coupled with the choice of when to do so.
In addition, attention to the readings is enhanced when students
are prompted to listen to peers for the opportunity to link
their contributions to what has come before. Popcorn reading
can be used with any text-even with students' own writing.
Quick Writes
Quick writes have many names (journal jottings, freewriting)
and multiple uses. Briefly, quick writes afford students the
opportunity to pause momentarily during reading or discussion
and record their thoughts and feelings in writing. Teachers
can then ask students to share their writings, confident that
every member of the group has had the opportunity to grapple
with the issue at hand and has something to offer.
Responding Visually to Literature
Many language arts teachers have come intuitively to use visual
activities to support their literature instruction. Non-verbal
activities provide an opportunity for students to develop
and display their growing understanding and enjoyment of the
literature in informal ways as they develop visual representations
of their thinking.
his preface to Phyllis Whitin's Sketching Stories, Stretching
Minds: Responding Visually to Literature (for the complete
citation, see "Additional Resources" in the Library
Guide), Jerome Harste reminds us that "literacy is much
more than reading and writing" (x). He tells us that
literacy is "the process by which we mediate the world"
which "means to create sign systems mathematics,
art, music, dance, language" which "act as
lenses that permit us better to understand ourselves and our
world" (x).
we take what we know from one sign system and represent it
in another as when we take a written text and represent
it graphically we are using transmediation, a process
that "is both natural and basic to literacy" (x).
Such transmediation has enormous value in the classroom. As
students resee, they rethink. Rethinking, they understand
in fresh ways, and their pleasure grows with their developing
less able readers, the very act of focusing on a brief passage
or scene and doing what more skilled readers seem to do invisibly
helps them develop the visualization powers to process texts
effectively. Not only are they developing their understanding
of a specific text, they are expanding their skill as readers.
Using Overheads in Discussion
Give each group an overhead transparency and a pen and ask
them to record the results of their discussion for sharing
with the class. Then, when it is time to report out, they
can use the overhead to guide their contributions. This strategy
has several benefits. First, the overheads can be saved, and
referred to again days or weeks later to remind students of
observations made earlier. Second, the use of a prop offers
support for students who may be anxious about standing and
speaking in front of the group. Finally, the use of the technology
itself has a grown-up appeal that students respond to positively.
When ordering materials, be sure to get clear transparencies
that can be written on. Those intended for copy machines or
printers don't always receive ink well. Also, overhead pens
come in a number of colors and students like to choose a color
to represent their group. The transparencies can be rinsed
off after use and reused for years.
Using Webbing To Keep Track of Student Discussions
Often it is difficult to remember who said what during a lively
discussion. Even harder when teachers have multiple
sections of the same subject is remembering which class
or which group raised which issues. Following Mr. Hoonan's
example, teachers can web the content of a discussion to create
a concrete record of what topics were raised in each group.
Assessment and Evaluation: Some
Useful Principles
The terms assessment and evaluation are often
used as synonyms. Distinguishing between them can be helpful
as you plan instruction. Assessment means looking at what
students can do in order to determine what they need to learn
to do next. That is, assessment, whether of individual students
or an entire group, is done in order to inform instruction.
Typically assessment is holistic, often recorded simply as
"credit" or "no credit."
occurs after a concept or skill has been taught and practiced
and is typically scaled, indicating the level of achievement
or degree of competence a student has attained.
Using Personal Writing
To Extend Literary Envisionments
Look here for suggested ways to help students respond
to their reading.
Sketch to Stretch
Based on ideas developed by Phyllis Whitin and presented in
her book Sketching Stories, Stretching Minds: Responding
Visually to Literature, the basic premise behind Sketch
to Stretch is that creating a visual based on a literary work
stretches student thinking, helping them to see the text in
new ways. Visit the Sketch to Stretch page for ways
to use this in the classroom.
Save the Last Word for the Artist
After a student (or a group) has completed a visual representation
from the literature, it is shared with the class. In Save
the Last Word for the Artist, the visual is displayed
so everyone can see it, and the class is invited to comment
on what they see and their understandings of how the visual
connects to the text. When the group has finished, the artist
is invited to offer his or her thoughts, validating what the
group has said and suggesting other possible interpretations.
Often the artist will be surprised that the group found things
about the work that were there, but were not consciously intended.
Text Pairings
As you begin to plan literature experiences for your students,
consider offering text pairings, so that students have a rich
palette of text background and reading experiences to draw
upon in their literary conversations. While Mr. Hoonan has
chosen to link the texts in this lesson thematically, you
may wish to offer students other works by the same authors.
If you do, some texts that may complement the ones used in
this classroom lesson plan include:

Here's a very old quote supporting russian
[quote=Ilk]I'm obviously not Russian but I can answer the thing about RP as it's been affecting a lot of us.
Russian had an anti-TRI RP...he would stage various attacks on strategic targets (eg nuking sol core) even knowing that technically he can't win that kind of RP (cos TRI pays insurance yadda yadda).
However instead of the GM's playing along and saying "Another futile attemp by dissidents to damage infrastructure failed miserably, TRI officials are on the alert" they shot down his RP and then rewrote the "RP rules of conduct" to specifically exclude what he was doing.
Almost every attempt by major PvP squads to work RP into conflict with the help of GM's has been shot down due to it being too much work. With only one coder apparently working on Jumpgate the amount that can be done by GM's is extremely limited.[/quote]

damnit! i just knew i'd get noticed...and all just because i wanted to let
know i'd repaired the hyperial storyline post he'd linked to in the fiction FAQ. bleh.
; don't tease them. i've no intention of returning...i quit TRI forever. though i'll be quantar and UMEC for the same duration. (i've still got the game installed so i can get you folks updates on patch files and gear...things i do best)
And yes, i am curious about EP2, though it's a nobrainer that it won't fix anything...even though the lot of us are convinced ND thinks so. heh

Well, this thread wasn't too bad yet, a few others were worse.
I just don't really see the point. On the one hand Muffy apparently wants to build up an image of knowing what he is talking about, on the other hand he destroys this very same image by calling the people he argues against smartasses, morons etc. at every turn (yes, I know, not that much in this thread, more in others as far as I can recall).
he was complaining about me flaming some troll cum-bounty hunter/ruleslawyer/weekendwarrior. (who wouldn't get the hint to STFU and decided instead to provoke Muffy)

You know, it never ceases to amaze me how many idiots love to call me a pottymouthed troll with politically correct crap that is THE spitting image of a troll. I don't lie. I make mistakes, embarrassing ones, but at least i've got the guts to correct them and admit where i was wrong. I think it's the lack of humour, the absolute kiss ass (not always the devs) routine most of these fools undergo. It's politics. pure brutal politics.

Muffy, I wonder where you got your technical information about a feature that doesn't exist and isn't even planned (/pod command) from.
What on earth gave you the idea that there would be some kind of a popup? The much more likely alternative is an interface like /wing today. Anyway, interface questions like that are secondary problems and have very little bearing on the actualy functionality of the command, which would be a more appropriate subject to discuss here.

"A witty saying proves nothing."
(ie. wit=opinion while proof needs argument based on facts)
it amazes me how trolls can impress merely by being constantly witty...reminds me of pissing contests and one-up-manship games. One doesn't really need to wonder where all the bullies went
It's funny how the worst trolls always seem to label me as someone who "flames someone everytime they disagree with you" (gets to be silly because they always say they "merely point out the facts")
Kymon (1st post on boards; 2nd account farmer anyone?)
I find it laughable that a person who avoids pvp at all costs would have the audacity to write up a combat rules guide. It's almost like a child molester writing up day care policies. On the other hand, I am reminded of the poster's IQ and silence myself.

Fascinating, yes? Apparently the "fact" in this case is that i avoid PvP as much as possible, and that i avoid PvP as much as possible.
hmm Let's see now, exactly what do this fact imply? Well, taken at face value it means Muffy lacks direct experience in PvP, and since this "Coin of the Realm" is worth it's weight in gold, it goes to show that i lack understanding of PvP as well.
Hey! that's a pretty major conceptual leap there, pal. Let's see now, i've been accused of not only lacking objectivity, but also of suffering from some kind of debilitating subjectivity to the point of egomania.

It would definitely do everyone good.
Besides, I really like what you're doing at the UMEC forums, even though you're a real arse sometimes (nothing to be proud of, really).
*Shrug* i pride myself on my FAQs and my love of what amounts to "help desk" volunteer work...And what business is it of yours to judge my opinion of myself?
Well, okay, maybe being an OP will temper my temper so i might one day be able to work IRL as a "help desk" employee for a computer services company. who knows? (yes, it would be an honour)

i think it's just because i'm gaining on

To answer the question. yeah. i'd accept, even if it meant retiring half my vocabulary. I'd do it in a heartbeat. (i personally hate having to crack heads in public. it's bad for my rep as a FAQ "help desk" dude)
kinda hard to get people to take you seriously when yer a pottymouthed punk...especially when it always appeared that i was ignored 99% of the time when i didn't use foul language.
ahhhhhh!! i'm editing my posts already! that bastard!
PLUS OMG MY NEXT POSTS DIDN'T HAVE ANY FORMATTING NOR POTTY LANGUAGE. aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
EDIT (followup):
sadly, i think the real motivation for isky to make that invitation was "i'm sick of this unfounded suspicion. let's get him an OP tag so he understands what really happened with our facts [read: our 'facts' are holy writ]" instead of a "hey! that last post kinda hit the spot with me, i think this guy might be a good addition to the team's Think Tank [read: our 'facts' need a reality check]"
3rd EDIT: the real reason i didn't leap at the chance and give a definite YES/NO answer was because i didn't consider this to be a "gift horse". to me, my freedom to be pottymouthed and the habitual formatting is valuable to me -- something i would have to tone down, if not eliminate all together. Thus, having value i will bloody well LOOK the freakin horse in the mouth and check it's legs.
4th and final EDIT: i think they've decided that i am to watch the watchers like
mentioned ages ago when the invite first appeared.
1) Muffy the Op would be a bad thing IMO. It's always good to have some external voice out there shouting at you and Muffy excells at that role. Make him an OP and he'd loose some of his ability to be that.
BTW, the famous line was used by the first commission that wasn't supposed to expose the iran-contra fiasco in 1986 during President Reagan's administration. It was their motto/epigraph. noone thought they'd be anything but a whitewash. (
see here
) The motto/epigraph was in latin and used an old Roman proverb.

it was also connected deeply with a graphic novel called, "watchmen"...i remember that comic. confused teh hell outta me so i didn't buy it. (see

Oh dear...
No, Muffy, neither of these "motivations" you suspected or would have liked me to have was true. How about
"This guy knows how to use his brain and how to make a point. He could do a lot more good (or a lot less bad) as an OP."
It had hardly anything to do with that thread or, for that matter, your posts in it.
Admittedly, asking you in a public discussion was not the wisest thing to do, but I was curious about how you and others would react.
In hindsight, i think you're better off here. You're doing great - apart from your "pottymouthed punk" side, maybe, on which you seem to pride yourself just as much as on your real achievement, the FAQs and archives...

yeah. i take pride in appropriate vernacular AND i am embarrassed when i go OTT with my "potty-mouthed" attitude. I'm not perfect. i screw up and i'm certainly not a charmer.
I'm human, thank you very much, and fully aware of my passion for this game's community. That's saying alot more than some people who think "winning" is more important than "fun"
I do thank you for speaking your mind publically, because it showed
to be hypocrites for all the times they called me a troll. (my friends laff ingame when it's
who look the fool for all the crap they throw at me in retaliation for showing them for what they are. trolls.)
Good thing i'm not an OP for i'd have to witness the crap they pull on others who don't have such a thick skin as i. oh wait, i do have to witness their crap ingame and out. Only reason i think they've avoided bannage is because they've evolved as trolls into something worse than your lowest common denominator griefer -- only reason i think they shouldn't be banned permanently is because they are an excellent case study to what true trolls are capable of.
Besides, you're not out of the woods yet. I still have yet to work up a decent "sents shouldn't kill n00bs" argument yet so i'm going to be grumpy until that happens...But, ingame with n00bs i still have "The patience of Jobe""
I don't think you realize how protective i am towards n00bs. Of course i wouldn't have allowed any newbie to travel into harm's way without their knowledge (sents wouldn't be near my n00b in the first place) but if any
n00b is ganked for ANY reason whatsoever i'll attack with teeth barred anyone up to and including you folks
that someone who accused me of being patronizing and condescending has never seen me ingame. If you want to get cute and say i coddle n00bs then do so anywhere but to my face. (
see #7 forum ruling
**-A true n00b [i]isn't
someone who violates RoC or knowingly exploits said RoC to the detriment of others, plus those who use 2nd accounts for blatant RP reasons. (this excludes those smart enough to exploit the RoC without abusing others, since if you need to exploit anything beyond XP in order to get to lvl10 you
a newbie!)[/i]
la la. anyways, thanks for visiting UMEC's humble forums and showering me with attention.

Another followup
rofl whoa! i know silence speaks volumes, but this troll sure reads waaaaay too much into absolute vacuum. They sure form a decent support group for each other though, so i'll bet they won't even notice how they really work at being worthless. *boggle*

Whatever your intentions are, its all irrelevant. You just irritating people and in the end you cant expect to be treated with respect if you arent, yourself respectful enough to acknowledge other peoples points of views and ideas, rather than trying to find whats wrong with them. Truely your becoming the definition of "pessimist" Sort it out.
Let's see now. sometimes i don't want any respect, and i especially don't need it from someone who spends the majority of his post to lie, flame and be a hypocrite. (It seems as though this sort of person decides that making a point involves flaming others.)
if he'd just said that last bit without the flames, lies and hypocrisy it would have been an excellent post. *shrug* But, i think that
his flames it becomes a magnificent post because it shows the irony.
unfortunately, i don't believe
knew he was being flammable, untruthful and hypocritical...sadly.

Oh dear. Nelson has turned into Muffy.
You don't fly, just turn up on the forums now and then to spout trolling BS. Here you claim that you are right and anyone who thinks otherwise must be a moron. This is despite the fact that you admit don't use the sim, therefore can have little knowledge of it.
Great. Where's my popcorn?
ahahaha 10 pages of the most inane babble/flame/wynar mode evar with sexist "injokes", lies, damned lies and tesrend's honesty *cough* and it takes someone taking my name in vain to get it locked. ROFLMAO
Interesting though how the feeding frenzy on easy targets in the game translates to easy targets on the forums when some poor n00b gets "uppity" and bucks the almighty PVP protocol. *rollseyes* Reminds me of D&D ruleslawyers -- Specifically the griefers. The sad thing is the JG pvp rules are so FUBAR one can hardly blame the aggressor's griefing activity. The point is the pvp system's counter-intuitive and just begs to be exploited by those who know a "bit" more than the hapless victim. (course, then there's the airhead carebears who see griefers everywhere and are determined to join PvP squads for some holy crusade without rhyme nor reason *cough*masochists*cough*)
i'm sure these noble souls sing "i shot the sheriff", by bobmarley, are on vegan diets and think of themselves as jumpgate's 'Rosa Parks'

At a recent update provided by Kansas State Extension agronomy specialists, county agricultural agents were provided with the latest research tips for controlling weeds in the winter wheat crop that I'll share in today's column.
Wheat planted in southwest Kansas is in much better shape to date than one year ago, due to occasional moisture events. Last winter, the soil remained extremely dry.
There are several herbicide options for controlling winter annual broadleaf weeds in wheat. Generally, fall applications will provide the best control of winter annual weeds with any herbicide, as long as the weeds have emerged. The majority of winter annual weeds usually will emerge in the fall, although you can still have some emergence in the spring, especially if precipitation after planting is limited in the fall. However, winter annual weeds that emerge in the spring often are not very competitive with the crop, assuming that you have a decent crop.
Some herbicides can work well even when applied during the dormant part of the season, while others perform best if the crop and weeds are actively growing. The key difference relates to the degree of soil activity provided by the herbicide. Herbicides that have good residual activity, such as Glean, Finesse, Amber and Rave, can generally be applied in January and February when plants aren't actively growing and still provide good weed control, assuming you have proper conditions for the application. Most other herbicides, which depend more on foliar uptake, will not work nearly as well during the mid-winter months, when the wheat and weeds aren't actively growing, as compared to a fall or early spring application.
Spring herbicide applications can be effective for winter annual broadleaf weed control as well, but timing and weather conditions are critical to achieve good control. Spring applications generally are most effective soon after green-up when weeds are still in the rosette stage of growth, and during periods of mild weather. Once weeds begin to bolt and wheat starts to develop more canopy, herbicide performance often decreases dramatically.
Huskie is a relatively new herbicide that can provide good control of a variety of broadleaf weeds with excellent crop safety from the two-leaf to boot stage of growth. Huskie is a premix herbicide of pyrasulfatole and bromoxynil. Pyrasulfatole is an "hppd" herbicide, and can be effective to control ALS-resistant broadleaf weeds. Because Huskie has limited residual activity, it works best when applied when weeds and wheat are actively growing and with milder weather.
Another important consideration with herbicide application timing is crop tolerance at different application timings. For example, 2,4-D should not be applied in the fall or until wheat is fully tillered in the spring. On the other hand, any herbicide containing dicamba can be applied after wheat has two leaves, but should not be applied once the wheat gets close to jointing in the spring. Herbicides containing dicamba include Banvel, Clarity, Rave, Pulsar and Agility SG.
There has been some discussion about wheat tolerance to herbicides, especially when applied with fertilizer carrier. The best advice regarding crop safety with herbicide-fertilizer combinations and application timing is to follow the label guidelines. We generally see very minimal crop injury and no yield loss from topdress fertilizer/residual herbicide applications during the winter months. However, these combinations can often cause considerable burn to the wheat if applied when the crop is actively growing and with warmer weather. The foliar burn is generally temporary in nature and the wheat usually will recover if good growing conditions persist.
Research at Hays several years ago found as much as 47 percent injury to the wheat four days after treatment following a late March treatment of Amber plus 2,4-D, but wheat recovered and yields were not reduced. However, research in Nebraska did show some yield loss from Ally plus 2,4-D applications with fertilizer applied in late April to more advanced wheat and with moisture stress conditions. Crop injury with herbicide-fertilizer combinations will depend on the total amount of fertilizer applied, dilution with water and the addition of surfactant. Again, the herbicide label provides the best guidelines regarding if, when and how herbicides can be applied with fertilizer.
Tips for gardeners
Following are several tips that can help home gardeners in growing transplants.
* Use fluorescent lamps, not incandescent bulbs. Often a south-facing window does not provide enough light to grow strong transplants and, therefore, supplemental lighting is helpful. Fluorescent lights produce much less heat than incandescent bulbs. This allows fluorescent bulbs to be placed very close to the plants (two to four inches), increasing the intensity of light received. Additional light produces stronger plants.
Leave fluorescent lamps on long enough. Young plants do not react to day length, so lights can be left on as long as desired. Sixteen hours of light each day usually is sufficient. A timer can be used to automate the process.
* Re-wet a peat-based media with hot water. Though moist peat will absorb cold water easily, dry peat will not. Hot water overcomes the hydrophobic nature of dry peat. Small batches of media can be mixed with water in a sealable plastic bag to cut down on the mess.
* University research has shown that young seedling plants react to movement. Brushing your hand over the tops of the plants each morning and afternoon will cause them to become stockier. Use about 10 strokes each time. Strokes will not compensate for lack of light. Plants grown under inadequate light will be spindly regardless of stroking.
For more information or assistance on this or other topics, please call the Extension office at 272-3670, located at 501 S. Ninth St.

Updated! – Cisco Mobile Visual Networking Index
Over the past several years, Cisco introduced and has regularly updated and expanded its well-received Visual Networking Index (VNI), which projects IP traffic trends based upon independent analyst forecasts, mobile data usage surveys from operators and other primary research.
As part of its VNI initiative, Cisco also developed the Global Mobile Data Traffic Forecast, and the most recent update has just been issued.
The updated forecast includes findings such as:
- By 2016, global mobile data traffic will reach 10.8 exabytes per month (or 130 exabytes annually). Global mobile data traffic will increase 18X from 2011 – 2016 (78% CAGR from 2011 – 2016). The 130 exabytes is 4.5 times more than all IP traffic (fixed and mobile) generated in 2005 (29 exabytes).
- Based on Cisco VNI research, global mobile data traffic increased 133% from calendar year-end 2010 to calendar year-end 2011 (CY2011 = 597 petabytes per month or nearly 149 million DVDs per month).
- In 2011, global mobile data traffic grew 3.4 times faster than global fixed broadband data traffic. From 2011 to 2016, global mobile data traffic will grow 3 times faster than global fixed broadband data traffic.
Other pertinent points include:
- In spite of uncertain economic conditions in many parts of the world, the demand for mobile services and content has in fact grown in every global region.
- An increased amount of mobile traffic being offloaded to fixed networks, and the implementation of tiered mobile service pricing and data caps have not had a significant dampening effect on global mobile data traffic growth (the top 1% has been throttled to some degree).
- In 2011, global mobile data traffic more than doubled (2.3X growth) for the fourth year in a row.

I have written thousands of blog posts on my own site and for countless others all over the world but this post is a first for me. I am writing this blog post about Osaka, Japan and I have never been there before. I will be going early next year with Azamara, but for now it is one of the few major cities on Earth I have not been to. That said, I think this will be fun and I definitely look forward to writing another after I visit Osaka.
I do know that Osaka has a rich cultural history and has a ton of old and modern sites. I am most looking forward to visiting Osaka Castle. I am also looking forward to seeing the legendary nighttime skyline of Osaka; which is actually the seventh largest metropolitan economy in the world, but second in Japan to Tokyo.
Osaka is best known for food and for shopping. I've had friends come back from Osaka raving that the authentic food is better than it is in Tokyo. I find this hard to believe because the food in Tokyo is so good but I can't wait to find this out for myself. Udon is one of my favorite things on earth.
While I am not a big shopper, the Japanese have a flair for it. Not only do they love shopping but they also love making spectacles of their shopping districts. As Ginza in Tokyo is one of the most recognizable in the world, I can't wait to visit the Dotonbori area and see all the bright lights!
As a sports fanatic and baseball at the forefront of my fanaticism, Osaka is home to four professional sports teams. This includes the Orix Buffaloes; the former team of current New York Yankee and future Hall of Famer, Ichiro Suzuki. I hope to get to one of their home games at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka.
Osaka is also home to Universal Studios, a famous aquarium and is supposed to be a great city to just get lost in and explore. That's exactly what I plan to do when I visit in 2015 with Azamara.
Azamara has four upcoming voyages to Osaka.
- The 16-Night Indonesia to Japan Voyage embarks on February 17, 2015.
- The 16-Night Japan, China & Vietnam Voyage embarks on March 5, 2015.
- The 16-Night Asian Kaleidoscope Voyage embarks on March1, 2016.
- The 16-Night Great Cities and Asian Waters Voyage embarks on March 17, 2016.

5-Year-Old Mayor of Minnesota Town Loses Re-Election Bid to 16-Year-Old
This year's brutal campaign season has claimed another incumbent casualty, but the ousted mayor of Dorset, Minnesota, still has decades to plot a comeback.
According to the Associated Press, Bobby Tufts, who is just 5 years old, lost his bid for a third term as mayor of the tiny tourist town to an older candidate - 16-year-old Eric Mueller, this past Sunday.
Despite the loss, Bobby stepped down from his post gracefully - and even endorsed a future candidate.
"It was fun, but it's time to pass on the vote," Bobby told the Associated Press. "I'm gonna let [my brother] James do it. He's 2."
During his time as mayor, Bobby's major achievements ranged from raising money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Red River Valley in Fargo, North Dakota, to moving ice cream to the top of the food pyramid.
Bobby was first elected in 2013 at age 3 when his name was drawn from a ballot box at the annual Taste of Dorset festival.
Dorset, which praises itself as the "Restaurant Capital of the World," and has no formal city government, traditionally appoints its mayor at the festival.
In the election leading up to the event, the town's citizens are allowed to vote as many times as they want for $1 per vote, and the proceeds of the election go toward funding the festival.

Healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson played "Russian roulette" with patient safety by ignoring high failure rates and surgeons' complaints about its once-popular artificial hip, a Los Angeles jury was told during closing arguments at a high-stakes medical trial for the company.
Jurors heard arguments from both sides Thursday in a case that pits the world's biggest seller of medical products against Loren Kransky, a 65-year-old former prison guard in Montana who claims he suffered metal poisoning and other health problems from the company's ASR XL hip implant he received in 2007.
The company "knew this hip was defective long before Mr. Kransky got it," Brian Panish, one of Kransky's attorneys, told the 12 jurors and one alternate. "They wanted to play Russian roulette with patients. This defendant didn't care about patient safety."
J&J has denied Kransky's claims that it designed a defective hip implant and failed to warn patients about the risks. Attorneys for J&J have said that Kransky's ailing health was due to his diabetes, kidney cancer and other long-standing medical problems.

Some of the most eye-catching architecture in Franklin Lakes is actually made of stone.

Wow this looks awesome! Listen I know it is the job of all of us Call of Duty enthusiasts to blast the first trailer we see for every edition of C.O.D. that comes out, but this time I just can't do it. I am amazed how much like a blockbuster film the latest installment looks, and it's not just because Actor Kevin Spacey is starring it it. That's right you heard me.
Everyone plays the game different , I am not much for the campaigns I usually put the game in and go straight to multi-player and never look back, but this time for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, I think I may have to enjoy the campaign mode.

Dylan Stableford writes occasionally about tennis for Deadspin. It's called "Droppin' Deuce With Dylan Stableford." It's that time of year again. A time when swaths of Serbians, blistering backhands, awkward celebrity interviews and nimble ball boys invade Queens. A time when tennis—tennis!—takes New Yorkers' attention away from the Mets, Yankees, Bret Favre, blogging and the Hamptons for two weeks. Here's what to expect during this year's Flushing fortnight.THE MEN Federer-Nadal A Federer-Nadal final will not happen. Tennis thinks it has its new rivalry. (When Nike hires Don King to trumpet Federer-Nadal like Tyson-Holyfield as "Grapple in the Apple," you know the sport is banking on a sustained battle—maybe without the ear-biting.) The problem is, Rafa—as he's known for some reason—just isn't that good on hardcourts. He complains about them. He wraps his knees like Tom Berenger in Major League. And for all of his supposed fitness, he tires at the end of the summer like a Dick Enberg montage. But Nadal's historic late season malaise isn't the only problem with anointing the next Agassi-Sampras. For the first time in five years, Federer has looked … human. He lost in the Australian Open semis, revealed he had contracted mono, got manhandled by Nadal at the French, and, of course, lost the seven-hour, five-set epic with Nadal in the Wimbledon final which, if it weren't for a rain delay, wouldn't have been so epic. At the Olympics, Federer lost in straight sets to perennial disappointment James Blake before Blake was ousted in the semis. (More on that in a minute.) Not to mention Federer's lost twice—twice!—in opening rounds this year. Still, it's hard to pick against a Nadal-Federer final in any major tournament. Especially when the rest of the men's field has its set of own problems. The hot girlfriend box Most male tennis players have them, holed up in their boxes, with USA cameras fixed on their every reaction. And two of the top seeds on the men's side—Serbian jokester Novak Djokovic and Andy "Sleeve-Picking" Roddick—have two of the hottest: Djokovic and Paraguayan Olympic javelin thrower Leryn Franco (sample tennis blog headline: "Djokovic Wins the Girlfriend Olympics"); Roddick and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker. Why does this matter? It's about motivation. And you have to question whether or not dudes with girlfriends this hot are motivated enough to win. Blake James Blake will shock everyone and win. There's no reason to expect this. None. He's had an uneven year—and that's being charitable. His biggest win came against Federer in Beijing, and Blake promptly went out the next day and lost to someone named Fernando Gonzalez 4-6, 7-5, 11-9—complaining after the match that Gonzalez didn't call a ball out on himself. And at the Open, he's on Nadal's side of the draw. Sleepers. Juan Martin Del Potro and Fabrice Santoro. Del Porto's Argentinean, he's 19 and he's won four straight tournaments, 19 matches in a row. Granted, he hasn't faced a top five player in that span, but who cares? He's got two first names and a "del" thrown in there. Santoro, the pesky French "Magician," is like playing against a human backboard. Roddick gets him in the first round. The Women
Sorry, fellas. There's no chance of Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic all making out and rolling around on stadium court again this year. That's because Sharapova is out with a shoulder injury that her father Yuri no doubt blames on the lack of bananas in her diet. That leaves Ivanovic, the world's shakiest number one (she won the French but failed to get out of the third round at Wimbeldon). In an odd but refreshing bit of seeding, the Williams sister can't meet in a final this year. They'll have to settle for an unwatchable quarterfinal. Sleepers I found one! Five-foot-three Dominika Cibulkova, who ESPN calls "a tiny Slovak with a big heart," has registered upsets over Venus Williams, Jelena Jankovic and Elena Dementieva this year. And China's Li Na, who can claim the shortest name on the WTA Tour, beat Venus in Beijing. Note to Deadspin tennis fans: I'll be out at the U.S. Open all week. Drop me a line if you'd like to share a $12 beer or ogle Serbian women on the practice courts!
