Summary of Alexander the Great
ALEXANDER THE GREAT (Alexander of Macedon)
* Who made the first western attempt to conquer Asia
* One of the world's greatest military geniuses
* Born in Pella, and was the son of King Phillip II
* Excellent, educated and was both brilliant in academic and military studies * He was taught by the famous Greek thinker Aristotle
* He was handsome, dynamic, strong and intelligent
* He's favorite book was Homer's Iliad
* Macedonia's best warrior
When King Phillip was assassinated, alexander took the responsibility to continued and carried out the first invasion in Asia. The reasons why alexander invaded Asia were as follows; to retaliate invasions of Greece, to establish an empire, to spread western Greek culture to the east. After annihilating the Persian army, returned to conquer the rest of Syria and Persia and killed the last Persian emperor, Darius III thus ending the Persian Empire. Longing for more worlds to conquer, alexander wanted to go beyond the Indus valley. But his troops mutinied and refused to go farther. They had been fighting for 10 years; they are tired and wanted to go home. Alexander returned to Babylon to devote his time in ruling, his empire his hectic life and hard military campaigns had sapped his energy. Then one morning, he developed high fever and could not be cured. Alexander died at his royal palace in Babylon at age of 33. As alexander was dying, his generals asked him to whom the empire would belong. He replied, to the strongest. He gave his ring to perdiccas, one of his generals. But perdiccas was not the strongest. Generals of alexander fought each other for many years that's why the empire of alexander was broken up into three parts: the ptolemic kingdom of Egypt, the Seleucid Empire of Asia, the empire of Macedonia, all these fragments were conquered by Rome later on. The conquest of alexander and his generals had far-reaching...

MIT Reports to the President 19992000
The Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity (LMP) is an interdepartmental laboratory in the School of Engineering with three major goals: the development of the fundamental principles of manufacturing systems, processes, and machines; the application of those principles to manufacturing enterprises; and the education of engineering leaders. With 11 faculty and senior research staff and 70 graduate students, the laboratory conducts research in the areas of design, analysis, and control of manufacturing processes and systems.
This research is conducted through industrial consortia, sponsored research projects, and government grants. LMPs major areas of interest include: Production System Design, Precision Engineering, Three Dimensional Printing, Rapid Autonomous machining, Reconfigurable Tooling, Droplet-Based Manufacturing, Automatic Identification, Continuous Casting Monitoring, Machine Elements and Systems, Tribology , Microcellular Plastics, and Composites Manufacturing. In addition LMP works closely with the Materials Processing Center, the Leaders for Manufacturing Program, and the Lean Aerospace Initiative. Many of our research projects are also with individual companies. In total, the laboratory works with about 50 different companies worldwide. Our government support comes from a variety of agencies including; DOD, NSF, NASA and DOE, and is often coordinated with industrial support.
The Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity enjoyed an excellent year in 199900 with a research volume of $3.7 million. A few projects contributed disproportionately to this volume. These included the work of Professor Ely Sachs (3D Printing), Professor David Cochran (Production Systems Design), Professor Sanjay Sarma (Automated Manufacturing) and Professor David Trumper (Precision Engineering).
The Laboratory for Manufacturing and Productivity hosted an international symposium whose theme was exploring New Manufacturing Processes and Systems entitled "The Future of Manufacturing: New Development in Technology and System Design" on April 18 and 19, 2000, at the University Park Hotel in Cambridge. It was attended by participants from industry and academia from many parts of the world.
In the past year we have seen the creation of the 1200 sq. ft. Ralph E. Cross CAD/CAM Instructional Classroom and Laboratory, which will provide state-of-the-art, hands-on experience linking the CAD/CAM System and the CNC tools within the LMP machine shop. Significant new and/or continuing research programs were funded, and several new educational initiatives were started. In addition our faculty and staff continue to be honored with awards and recognition by their colleagues
Professor David Cochrans successful new program in Production System Design continues to grow at a significant rate. This program has captured important new funding from industry, including major new funding from Ford at several sites, in the area of "Lean, Cellular Manufacturing System Design." In addition Professor Cochrans two new courses in production system design at both the undergraduate and the graduate level, 2.812 and 2.82 have been greeted with enthusiasm by our students. These courses allow students to develop manufacturing systems at local Boston area manufacturers.
This year Professor Sanjay Sarma, the Cecil and Ida Green Career Development Professor founded the Auto-I.D. Center with his colleagues, Dr. David Brock and Professor Kai-Yeung Siu. The centers mission is to create an intelligent infrastructure to connect physical objects to the internet and to each other.

In addition, Professor Sachs is developing a new important course on the Development of Manufacturing Processes and Equipment (2.815).
Professor David Hardt has taken a principal leadership role as liaison faculty in manufacturing to the MIT/Singapore Alliance and to the concept of distance learning in general. He has developed an MEng in Manufacturing degree program for Singapore, which will be a highly integrated set of courses that cover topics from processing, equipment, automation, process control, systems and product design as well as basic business issues. These courses are being delivered in Singapore by MIT faculty in July 2000. Later, a revised version will likely be offered to MIT students as well. In addition, Professor Hardt has recently successfully demonstrated his research on Reconfigurable Tooling for Rapid Response Forming of Aerospace Structures to industry.
Professor Alex Slocum, who was honored by MIT last year as the Martin Luther King Outstanding Faculty Member for his work mentoring minority students and was chosen to be one of four MacVicar Fellows at MIT for 19992000, is currently on sabbatical.
Professor Jung-Hoon Chun who is the Co-Director of the Manufacturing Institute is responsible for developing several new projects with Korea and SVG. Professor Chun has also received funding from NSF on Micro-Droplet Deposition in Droplet Based Manufacturing (DBM). This work has led to a significant new process for electronics packaging with 7 worldwide licensees. In addition, other applications of DBM are being licensed in such areas as metal tooling, rapid prototyping, metal injection molding and thermal spray coating applications. He also continues to develop his new "CASTSCAN" Program based on high-energy X-ray tomographic imaging. The focus of the program is to study the mold filling process for lostfoam casting for automotive applications. His undergraduate course on Engineering Management, which is very successful, has recently been expanded to including graduate students. In addition Professor Chun is very active in the Singapore-MIT Alliance. This summer he delivered a new course in Singapore.

06 February 2017 | in Curling, Winter Universiade
ALMATY - Sweden's women's and Norway's men's teams have won the bronze medals on the penultimate day (Monday 6 February) of the curling competition at the Winter Universiade being held in the Almaty Arena, in Kazakhstan.
Following a 4-7 defeat to Canada in Monday morning's semi-finals Isabella Wranaa's team bounced back to beat Switzerland, 6-3, in the women's bronze medal game.
Sweden's win was helped largely by a steal of three points in the third end, which opened the scoring, after two blank ends. Three single points each were exchanged between the teams in the remainder of the ends, but it was the third end score of three that proved the difference between the teams.
Switzerland won a tie-breaker, 6-4, on Sunday (6 February) against Great Britain to secure the final women's play-off place, but lost out to Russia in the semi-final, 7-8, in an extra end.
Russia and Canada women will meet in the gold medal final at 09:00 on Tuesday (7 February).
On the men's side, Steffen Walstad's Norwegian team lost to Great Britain – who still have a perfect record at this championship – 8-9 in the semi-finals. However, a score of three points in the second end and two in the seventh helped Norway to a 7-3 victory over Czech Republic in the bronze medal game.
Sweden men beat Czech Republic, 8-6, in the semi-final. Sweden and Great Britain's men's teams will meet in the gold medal game at 14:00 on Tuesday. Times are Alma-Ata time, six hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time
Isabella Wranaa; skip, Sweden (after 6-3 bronze medal game win over Switzerland): "It feels great [to win bronze], because we've been fourth in a couple of championships before, so, finally a medal and the trend is broken. It has been a great event, with fantastic ice. The village has been fantastic as well and it has been fun being with other students and enjoying other sports."
Steffen Walstad; skip, Norway (after 7-3 bronze medal game win over Czech Republic): "We have had an up and down week and we didn't perform at the level we wanted to, so I'm happy to go home with a medal. The Universiade has been really good, it is such a valuable experience to be at an event similar to the Olympics."

SLTM (the Podcast) Episode 249
Episode 249 : Short Cunt? Well, I've got the perfect dick for ya. Topic: Livesays Episode 2 Music on Episode 249: Nervecell – standard metal. And I mean that as a yard stick measurement and not to quantify the ability of this band. If I say speedy metal, fast drums, growled vocals, it's a qualifier not a judgement. That long growl at the opening of "All eyes on them", how the hell do people do that? To growl sing is tough enough but to hold it for any period of time seems impossible to me. I hate to use the title track from a release for the song on the show, it makes it look like I don't care, and that I just picked the most obvious song. But the title song has got the goods and shows the band in its best light. Good guitar opening. Double switched off vocals. Speedy but not out of control. I wish the rest of the album was like it. Listen from "Psychogenocide" on, best parts of the LP. Last part of the album is the best. An instrumental. A bit more flow. Triathalon – (Review Coming Later) Ides of Gemini -rock/metal bedding with dreamy female vocals. By dreamy I don't mean starry eyed left of center dew drop bullshit. Just floating, doubled. Hard to distinguish between the songs, they all sound the same. Bedrock of guitar & drums (mixed low)not intruding upon etheral female vocals. With some flourishes of harmony or doubling of vocals. That's all there is to say, really. Not bad, but kind of repetitive. I like what they are trying for, and I appreciate that it's not something you hear much of, but an EP of five songs would have been a good starter. Like I said, not bad or awful in any way, just a bit repetitive from song to song.

SLTM (The Podcast) Episode 248
SLTM (The Podcast) Episode 248 "I don't like the smell of my own balls" Todays Topic: Tired of hearing the same songs from the same bands on the radio? We list a few good bands whose songs need to be refreshed. Music From: Ivadell– First song starts out heavy, but wait around cause that's not what your getting. What did you order? The fish? The halibut steaks? Okay. Well this is a variation on that then. Sure it's not the steaks , but its still good and very filling. Try the chocolate mouse, it's to die for or something. "Unknown Divide" puts a upbeat kicky pop song around the powerful idea of seperation. Is it easier to swallow that way? I doubt it. Nice chiming guitars at the end. The divide is too far, we can never bridge this gap. In life, love, politics, whatever it is there is no hope. Sorxe – as if, at least for the first few songs, Faith No More released KING FOR A DAY, with Jim Martin still on guitar and Mike Patton forgetting the more subtle parts of his repitoire that made Angel Dust such a classic album. I can't really concentrate, there's a lady from down the block who's washing her car wearing only her night shirt. Wow is she getting soapy. You can't clean a car that way. Wait, what was I talking about? Faith No More's great album ANGEL DUST? No wait, Sorxe. "Make it so" This song makes me think of what would have happened if PIL had turned towards metal. Almost sounds like a different band. "Make it so" is like 3 different songs. How does that work? How do you decide to make a 9 minute song instead of three 3 minutes songs? What's best? Don't know. Toadies: what we would find almost mundane, but unfairly so, in early adulthood we embrace in our twilight years. The Toadies have been around since the 90's. They had a big hit, and while they may never reach those peaks again, who cares. Are they happy making music ? Do they enjoy what they do? That's would should matter. They are the kind of band that while you may not buy every single album, you find comfort in knowing they are still making music. And that you can pick up and leave, then rejoin when you want. A bit selfish, sure , but isn't that how we want life...

As the UK Conservative government celebrates its shock victory in last week's elections and Prime Minister David Cameron begins to appoint his new cabinet, campaigners and green business groups are urging the government to show early support for the low-carbon transition.
With the Conservative manifesto pledging to end public subsidies for onshore wind power, maximise the recovery of UK oil and support shale gas development, commentators warn the party's election victory could serve a severe blow to Britain's green energy industry.
Meanwhile they warn the potential re-negotiation of the UK's position in Europe could leave the country distracted, "weakening their ability to drive a strong climate agreement in Paris".
Nick Mabey, chief executive of E3G warned:
If the UK votes to leave the EU then expect a complete revision of UK climate and energy policy. If the UK does not vote for 'Brexit' then the Eurosceptic majority in the Tory party will remain a drag on attempts to create a single European energy market and strengthen delivery of EU clean energy and climate change goals.
There is too much legal, business and political momentum invested in decarbonising the UK economy to expect major shifts in domestic policy, beyond immediate cut-backs in support for onshore renewables and energy efficiency. However, over the course of a Parliament there is a real risk the UK could drift seriously off track in delivering carbon budgets, precipitating an intense political fight over maintaining targets
Campaigners have urged the government to offer early support for the low carbon economy, to ensure jobs, protect UK citizens and ensure success at the UN climate talks this December.
However, the unexpected appointment of Amber Rudd as the UK's new energy and climate change secretary has been welcomed by campaigners.
Quoting Margaret Thatcher ahead of the election Rudd, showed her support for the green agenda, saying: "'The core of Tory philosophy and for the case for protecting the environment are the same'… Her words are as true today as they were then."
Simon Bullock, senior climate change campaigner at Friends of the Earth said:
Amber Rudd has already acknowledged the need to boost renewables and increase investment in energy efficiency – and importantly she recognises the devastating impact that climate change will have without action. Her department now needs to make urgent decisions to get the UK off fossil fuels, not least by phasing out dirty coal, and reducing our energy demand and carbon emissions through major investment in energy efficiency and clean renewable power.
Green groups see the promotion of "really green and no-nonsense" Rudd as a "hopeful sign that the Government remains committed" to its cross-party pledge to uphold UK carbon targets, push for an ambitious UN climate deal and phase out unabated coal-fired power stations.
There is as yet no date set for a phase-out, and campaigners say and "early priority [of the new government] should be the systematic and phased closure of the UK's coal-fired power stations."
Emma-Lucy Pinchbeck, head of climate and energy at WWF UK said:
As a signatory to The Climate Coalition Leader's Pledge, David Cameron is committed to progressing policy in line with the Climate Act, fighting for a global deal on climate change, and driving forward the low carbon transition. We will support the Prime Minister and his new Government to make good on these pledges, so that Britain may realise the economic benefits of acting on these ink-and-paper promises.
Ending coal would send a strong signal ahead of the UN climate talks in Paris in December, reduce the UK's dependency on imported Russian coal, and be one of the cheapest ways to quickly reduce carbon emissions, in line with the Conservatives commitment to "cut emissions as cost-effectively as possible."
The new Conservative government will represent the the UK at the UN climate talks in Paris at the end of the year and at next month's G7 meeting in Bavaria, where climate change will be high of the agenda.
With 2015 such a crucial year for climate change, all eyes will be on the government to ensure that it continues to drive climate momentum, that it keeps the UK at the forefront of action and that it plays a key role in securing an ambitious outcome at the Paris climate talks.

Swine flu fears have caused Capron Elementary School to call off its plans for a "kiss the pig" contest.
Swine flu fears have caused Capron Elementary School to call off its plans for a "kiss the pig" contest.Swine flu facts
What is swine flu? Swine influenza is a respiratory disease caused by Type A influenza viruses that normally affect pigs. It also can be found in humans. How does it spread? The virus spreads between people, but health officials do not yet know how easily. Flu viruses usually are spread between people when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Someone also might get infected by touching something with flu viruses on it, and then touching his or her mouth or nose. What are the symptoms? Symptoms are similar to regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, diarrhea, vomiting, chills and fatigue. Severe illness including pneumonia and respiratory failure and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. How can you prevent swine flu? Wash your hands. Get plenty of sleep, exercise, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food. Avoid surfaces that might be contaminated with the flu virus and close contact with people who are sick. For more: Visit cdc.gov/swineflu; wchd.org; boonehealth.org or call the Boone County hot line at 815-547-8570 or the Winnebago County hot line at 815-720-4242. Source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Agriculture experts say it's a good thing, because they wouldn't want to put the pig in harm's way.
The H1N1 flu strain has been dubbed "swine flu," but no cases of hogs with the virus have been discovered in the United States at this time. That means Illinois Department of Agriculture spokesman Jeff Squibb says that if anyone was at risk to catch swine flu during the contest, it was the pig.
"Right now, you could make the argument that the fundraiser shouldn't be held for the pig's sake," Squibb said. "If anyone is at risk, based on what we know at this moment, it would be the pig."
The would-be swine smooch was planned for May 8, but was called off because of growing concerns over the virus that has killed dozens of people in Mexico and recently spread into the United States.
"We have to play it safe with students," Capron Principal Matt Klett said.
The kiss the pig contest was part of a program to encourage students to read. Students who completed reading challenges, based on how many hours of reading they complete, would be entered into a drawing to choose the teacher they wanted to pucker up with a pig.
Capron students will still get their reading reward in another form, Klett said. It might be a pie in the face for a teacher, or administrators could bring in a different farm animal.
The H1N1 strain can be passed between people the same way a typical flu virus is transmitted.
It does not affect pork products and cannot be transmitted through food, Squibb said.
"The latest reports I've seen is that no connections to hogs have been established," Squibb said. "Right now, swine appear to be an innocent victim, so to speak."
It's been disheartening for pork producers who have seen prices fall as they scramble to explain that food is safe, said Tim Maiers, spokesman for the Illinois Pork Producers Association.
"It's our job to continue educating folks on the safety of pork and the fact that this is not linked to pigs at all," Maiers said.
Prairie Hill Principal Michael Michowski said he understands Capron's decision because of the public opinion. Prairie Hill had hosted its own "kiss the pig" contest in 2004 to raise money for the American Heart Association.
"There's probably going to be a lot of lonely pigs," Michowski said. "It's going to be slow going for the pigs for a while."
Capron's lucky pig was going to come from a student's father, who is a local farmer, Klett said.
There is no reason to believe the farmer's hogs were infected in any way, Klett said.
"He was not worried at all, but he was very supportive of our decision," Klett said. "We're just playing it safe."

text: Hi Everyone- I am 25 years old and for about 9 months I've been dealing with severe pelvic pain (mainly my uterus and right ovarie) bloated at times. My worst fear is it is something cancerous because I have a history of Melanoma. I had ultrasound, blood work, CT scans all done within the 9 months. I've been back and forth with my family doctor and my OBGYN. My OBGYN said I have nothing at all to worry about, none of this is cancerous by any means (ovarian cancer is the same symptoms) she did a pelvic exam and when she pushed on my right ovarie I was in so much pain. She said surgery will be my best bet but she is sure she won't find anything. Just want to do it to rule it out. My periods are fine. Moderate flowing, pain in my pelvic region doesn't change when I have my period.

The Loan application can be very intimidating to the new home buyer. Well, you do not have to fear this process. All the form is requiring you to do is to provide the necessary information required by law to assess whether you qualify for the mortgage loan. The only drawback is that it can be time consuming and it takes a lot of patience to gather the information that is required.
By taking a few steps you can be on your way to owning your new home. Before starting the process you will have to gather the required information that is required by law. If you have been keeping your financial documents up to date, the application process can be quite easily done. Common documents that are required are pay stubs, work history, places you have lived, banking statements, past loans and credit history, investments you have, social security numbers and other pertinent details. The loan application will also require the property information, type of property, debt to income ratios etc.
After your lender review this information they will determine if you are qualified financially to obtain the home mortgage loan.
Providing that you have met the other financial requirements in the loan application the time to buy a home may be timely when the interest rate is low. A low interest rate can allow you to pay off your mortgage loan faster than if you had a higher interest rate loan. The monthly mortgage loan payment will be lower as well. There is more to the loan application form as you shall see.
One strategy to obtain a lower interest rate than the prevailing rate is to pay a fee to the lender. This fee is called "points" So, for a loan of $100,000 the fee would be $1,000 so the points would be 1 percent point. The more mortgage points paid on a home loan application at the time of the mortgage funding the lower interest rate on the loan. Other fees may include appraisal, application underwriting, credit report, origination fees, survey, title search, and other relevant fees the lender may request.
Depending on your personal financial information and forecast for the future you may choose to get a mortgage for a short term or long term. A short term could be 15 years while a long term may be 30 years. If you are stable in your job and your outlook financially looks promising and you intend to stay in the home for a very long time then you could take the 30 year term. However, if you plan to move elsewhere in the near term, you may want to consider the shorter term. There are other considerations to determine this choice. Another option would be an adjustable rate mortgage. You should discuss these choices with your financial advisor or real estate professional to make a decision fitting to your circumstances.
With the long term choice, your monthly payments would be smaller while for the shorter term you monthly payments will be higher. As you have seen, the loan application form is not as intimidating as you thought.

DFM reports
DFM reports
I'm looking for ideas on how to make reports generated in DFM viewable to folks that don't have DFM access. I know it can email the reports to people, but to some of those asking for the data, well, walking them through opening the zip file, saving the html files (needed so they can see the graphs), and then opening said html pages in a web browser is a bit more work than they want to put into it.
It would be great to have either a way to make DFM save the html report off to a web root somewhere, or have some account the email could be sent to that would post-process the email, unpacking the zip file and saving the contents to a dir.
Anyone messed with this?

Re: DFM reports
Re: DFM reports
When you schedule automatic report generation,a copy of the report is saved in <DFM_ROOT>/reports directory. This directory is not managed (AFAIK) so you may need to manually manage its contents and size. The file names are not descriptive (765_4_2009_3_4_15_19_30.html as an example) so you may need to parse the files to figure out what you are looking for.
Sending the email to a user and parsing the output is also workable solution, but getting the reports from the above approach is probably the easiest way to do this.
As always comments welcome..
Re: DFM reports
Re: DFM reports
Thanks Jesse.
I've messed with this for a while now, but it turns out the html reports stored in that dir are a bit more 'dynamic' than the ones that are emailed out in a zip file. They contain links to all kinds of dfm scripts and such so that you can change the view of the graphs from 1 day, to 1 week, etc.
Configuring a second web server to work with this has been a bit harrowing to say the least.
It would be better to find a way to work with the static info sent out in the email (no direct dependencies on dfm) if at all possible.

text: So, I am running Debian Squeeze and I know I should be running LVM (at least I think I should so I can add physical volumes later on if need be). I am new to LVM overall and have everything up and going, but I ran the volume report and found this: Code: Filesystem Type Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/server1-root ext3 322M 133M 173M 44% / tmpfs tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /lib/init/rw udev tmpfs 7.9G 156K 7.9G 1% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 ext2 228M 16M 201M 8% /boot /dev/mapper/server1-home ext3 1.4T 198M 1.3T 1% /home /dev/mapper/server1-tmp ext3 368M 28M 322M 8% /tmp /dev/mapper/server1-usr ext3 8.3G 961M 6.9G 12% /usr /dev/mapper/server1-var ext3 2.8G 464M 2.2G 18% /var So basically my /var mount is 18% full and the /home partition has all the space. I will not be using the /home partition for users as this is a web server. What is the best way to reassign that space to the var partition or will it auto expand as needed? Thanks and apologies but I am a quasi-noob to certain parts of linux especially when using it as a server.

Symptomsof Paraskavedekatriaphobia - Fear of Friday the 13th: breathlessness, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, feeling sick, shaking, heart palpitations, inability to think clearly, a fear of dying, becoming mad or losing control, a sensation of detachment from reality or a full blown anxiety attack.

Those of you looking to play, create, and share during LittleBigPlanet's October 21st bow will be able to do so... mostly. According to a post on Sony's official forums, Media Molecule's title won't ship with online level creation. You'll only be able to create levels with friends in the same room until the first product update brings the online creation mode. The reason? According to the post, Media Molecule wasn't 100% happy with the feature, and wanted to fine-tune it.
It won't affect other online features. You can still play through both the story and downloaded levels with friends. You can still share levels, too. If you want to make a crazy level with your buddy across the country, however, you'll have to wait for the game update.

subtitled: An Introduction to the Free City
From the publishers website:
This 48-page introduction to the Free City of Zobeck showcases its clockwork magic, its gearforged PC race, and many highlights of the city, such as the Kobold Ghetto. Includes a beautiful city map and other distinctive elements of the setting. As a gazetteer-size treatment of the city, it provides enough that the shared world can truly be shared, without overwhelming a DM who wants to match the city to their own homebrew setting.
From the back of the book:
A city of wonders, and a city of corruption and despair. Zobeck is home to gypsies, kobolds, powerful guilds and seductive devils, a crossroads city where the people of all corners of the compass come to barter, cheat, and deal.
Some come with plans to conquer, for the city's freedom is a fragile thing: nobles seek to restore their privileges, devils seek souls, and evil gods seek converts.
Zobeck is defended only by the wit and the steel of its heroes. While the Crossroads City is an island of light and reason,a dark history gnaws at its foundations. Old cults, dark pacts, and the recent bloodbath of the Great Revolt have all left their scar on the city. To remain free, Zobeck needs brave hearts, powerful masters of the arcane, and bright swords!
Learn the secrets of clockwork magic, the kobold ghetto, fiends, criminals, barkeeps and gods. Includes full details of:

When it comes to Journal, we've been there, done that, now serving 97 tips in 18 categories ranging from Alternative Journal Ideas to Wedding Journals/Notecards.
Remember to add the date, time and location, if possible to your journal entries. It will help you remember the context for writing your entry, if and when you decide to reread it. It's also nice to see where your journal has 'traveled' over time, whenever there is a significant gap between entries.
Want to make someone in your life smile and laugh out loud? Start by buying them a journal as a Christmas gift. Pick one that is either similar to a date book in that each page contains the date of the month and day of the week or buy a blank one and number each page with the day of the year. Then begin to write little sayings, ideas, and thoughts at the top of the page randomly, throughout the book. For example on January 12th you might write, "Remember to smile today," and then skip to February 22nd where you might say, "Stand up no matter where you are or who you are in front of, throw your head back, close your eyes and sing at the top of your lungs. Do it NOW!" As they go through their days, they will run across these sayings, think of you, and more often than not, they'll call or email to say thanks for making them laugh! It's a great reminder to keep in touch!
Children love animals and often end up asking to bring home a fish, dog, cat, hamster, gerbil, horse, etc. Whatever pet they own, try getting them a pet journal in which they can keep all the information about their pet or pets. You may want to seek out an interactive pet journal that includes specific questions they will have to answer. A journal of this type encourages your child to take responsibility for their animal. The more responsible they are, the better equipped they will be to answer the journal questions. They can write a description of the animal along with a history of how that pet came to be a member of the family. Take a picture of the animal and paste it inside with information about its favorite treats and toys. Encouraging your child to write both descriptive information and factual information allows them to enhance their writing skills. This type of journal persuades children to look closely at details which are extremely beneficial for developing their writing and for noticing important things in life as well.
A Poetry/Photo journal is a good way to explore your vision of the world. Start with one word; try writing about "water". Let your thoughts explore all of the associations you have with water. Do you think about drinking a cool glass of water on a warm day? Or do you think about how raindrops sound when they hit the surface of a pond? Write down whatever comes to mind and then close your journal. Return to it the next day and begin to mold the sentences and words into a poem. Every poet has a distinct style and voice; work with your words, try to let your own voice come to the surface. Once you have finished your poem go out and take pictures, gather any old photos or cut ones out of magazines that that relate to the idea of your poem. Take those photos and create a border around your picture or use the next page of your journal to create a visual collage of your poem.
When the holiday season has drawn to a close, remember to send thank you notes for the gifts you received from family and friends. Handwritten notes are meaningful because they can be saved. They say to the person you are writing to that you appreciated the gift and wanted to take the time to say thank you. When you write the note, be sure to mention the gift. For example, if someone gave you a journal you might try saying, "The journal is so beautiful that I cannot wait to spend time writing in it." If it is a monetary gift, you can simply say, "Thank you for your generous gift." At the end of the note, be sure to express how much it meant that they thought of you.
After your wedding and honeymoon, sit down and begin to work on your thank you notes. Do not send preprinted notes to your guests. They took the time to get you a gift and attend your wedding so give your thank you notes the personal touch. Handwriting your notes and addressing them to each person individually says that you not only appreciated their gift but you valued the thoughtfulness behind their attendance as well. Even if you did not like the gift, you should still send a note to say thank you for the thought. Remember to include a special thank you to those friends and family members who helped in setting up the wedding as well.

Helmets offer cutting-edge comfort, style and protection. They can be so ultra-lightweight that you barely notice that you're wearing one, they are super stylish to match any of your bikes and offer a high standard of safety.
Cycling helmets come in 3 basic styles: sport, road and mountain. Sports helmets are an economical choice for recreational, commuter, road and mountain bikers. Road helmets are preferred by road enthusiasts for their low weight, generous ventilation and aerodynamic design. They are also a good choice for someone who suffers from whip-lash or other neck or shoulder injuries. The price goes up as the weight comes down. Mountain helmets are built to ventilate well at low speeds; distinguished by their visors, enhanced rear-head coverage and a firm, secure fit for tackling rough terrain.
Buying a helmet is the first step; the next is having it fit properly for the optimal protection. We are more than pleased to help with the fit of your helemt, even if you haven't purchased it from us.
Buffs are so versatile and colourful. Soak one down and have it around your neck for an instant cool down during the summer or use it as a cap under your helmet to keep you warm in the winter.
- Replace your helmet after 5 years as it wears out and becomes less effective to absorb the impact from a crash. If you've had a crash, it's time to buy a new one.
- Nutcase helmets use a magnetic chinstrap attachment instead of a buckle. This can help adults with physical limitations (or kids) to securely fasten their chinstrap.
- Buff headwear can be worn as a bandana, sun-guard, thermal scarf, beanie, balaclava, headband, scrunchie, wristband, helmet-liner, muffler or dust screen.

All the way through its E3 debut last year, LucasArts was cagey with details about the story for its gritty shooter, "Star Wars 1313." Well, it seems like part of the reason for that was because behind the scenes, as recently as that May, George Lucas was signing off on focusing "Star Wars 1313" on fan favorite bounty hunter Boba Fett, according to a report from Kotaku.
The concept art above, shared by a LucasArts source, offers the only proof that the Mandalorian clone was to be the protagonist in "Star Wars 1313" which was set in the bowels of the space metropolis of Coruscant. If true, this would be the second "Star Wars" game with a Fett at the lead following 2002's "Attack of the Clones" tie-in "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter."
Making Boba Fett the lead was apparently one of several rethinks for the shooter which appears to have suffered some creative turmoil at LucasArts before its cancellation with the closure of the studio yesterday. That confusion lead one of Kotaku's sources to express doubts that "Star Wars 1313" would ever continue development at an external licensor: "They ended up with movie tech that wouldn't fit in a game, and game tech that wouldn't fit in a movie... '1313' was always in danger of not being made."

Timeline: Pseudomonas outbreak in Londonderry and Belfast
Four babies have died from an outbreak of pseudomonas aeruginosa in Northern Ireland.
One died at a Londonderry hospital, three others in Belfast.
Here is a chronology of events, according to the Regulation and Quality Improvement Authority which has carried out a review.
Altnagelvin Hospital, Londonderry
26 November 2011 - A urine sample from a baby is sent for testing. Two days later this is reported to be positive for pseudomonas aeruginosa.
2 December 2011 - The baby is transferred from Altnagelvin to Belfast for treatment for another condition.
4 December 2011 - Blood cultures are reported to be positive for pseudomonas and this information is passed by phone from Altnagelvin laboratory to the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital in Belfast.
6 December 2011 - The condition of a second baby, who had been at the Londonderry hospital from birth, deteriorates. Blood cultures are taken and two days later reported to be positive for the infection.
10 December 2011 - This baby dies. Meanwhile, a third baby at Altnagelvin develops signs of infection and is treated for a presumed diagnosis of pseudomonas infection. Blood tests two days later confirm this.
12 December 2011 - The Western Health and Social Care Trust declares an outbreak at Altnagelvin. Three babies are confirmed as having been infected there. The Public health Agency (PHA) is informed.
14 December 2011 - A Serious Adverse Incident form is submitted to the Health and Social Care Board by the Western Trust.
15 December 2011 - An infected tap and mixer valve are replaced.
19 December 2011 - The Western Trust starts screening babies for both pseudomonas and MRSA.
21 December 2011 - A temporary relocation of the neonatal unit at Altnagelvin takes place to enable a completed disinfection of the water system.
Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital, Belfast
8 December 2011 - A medical microbiologist informs the Belfast Trust that there are two babies in the Royal Victoria Hospital with pseudomonas.
9 December 2011 - The samples from the two babies are sent to the HPA Reference laboratory in England for typing due to concern that there had been two cases of pseudomonas within one week in the unit.
14 December - A nurse from Altnagelvin advises the Belfast Trust of the outbreak there. The Altnagelvin nurse advises that a sink is the possible source of the infection.
15 December - Preliminary results indicate that the strains of pseudomonas for the two babies at the Royal are different. As there is no evidence for a spread of infection between the babies, the infection in the baby born in the Royal is considered to have been "sporadic".
16 December 2011 The PHA advises Belfast Trust of outbreak at Altnagelvin.
5 January 2012- A baby in the Royal develops respiratory symptoms and a specimen is sent for testing. That baby dies the following day. Two days later it is confirmed that that baby had pseudomonas.
14 January 2012 - Another baby dies at the Royal, having been transferred from Daisy Hill Hospital in Newry. The following day pseudomonas is confirmed in blood cultures.
17 January 2012 - The Belfast Trust declares an outbreak at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Unit.
19 January 2012 - A third baby dies.
20 January - A press conference is held which involves the Health Minister Edwin Poots, the Belfast Trust and the Public Health Agency. A helpline is established.
30 January 2012 - Health Minister Edwin Poots calls for a review of the circumstances leading to the incidents
4 April2012 - An interim report is published with a final report due by 31 May 2012
