    Merging Account Question

    So my friend and me want to do RAF since I have a few extra battle chests with the five dollar sale they always do. My question is if I add another account to my battle net already can I merge that account later so that all the toons are under one roof?

    Just to make certain that I know what you are going to do.

    You want to make an wow-license through RAF on your battlenet account which your friend will be using. And if at some point in future your friend stops playing you will merge the account by paying the transfer from his license on your bnet account to your wow license?

    Or am I just too sleep deprived and are not thinking correctly?

    Okay what we plan to do is I recruit him and he recruits me, but I don't want to make another b.net account and lose all the guys that I level to help him with his account. So if I put the RAF account as a second account under my same b.net can I eventually merge that account with my primary so I can get the guys that I leveled to help him with his primary account under one roof?

    You can have as many WoW licenses on your Bnet account as you want. No need to merge licences, because trust me, that is a huge pain the ass. Just keep it all under your main Bnet account.

    You can have two WoW accounts on one b.net account with no problem - after the RAF finishes though... You can't just 'merge' the accounts. You have have to pay to transfer the characters between the two WoW accounts. Or you can keep paying double sub fees, depends which you feel works better for you

    Did you actually play WotLK? He clearly states that he was testing the raid, and that we did a good enough job that he decided to make us into the most powerful group of scourge. If anything, it is the best explained encounter in the game.

    Dunno... your statement keeps bringing me back to the little dragonkin and Leroy... and that was pretty damn fun, to me at least.

    You mean apart from the fact that when we fight him is AFTER hes had a 50 foot hole blown through his chest by the worlds most powerful weapon charged with the power of 4 of the worlds most powerful beings and wielded by the worlds most powerful shaman, and in the actual fight we are assisted by 4 of the worlds most powerful beings who spend all the time infusing us with there power and suppressing him while we hack a couple of limbs off following which he is once again shot with the worlds most powerful weapon ?

    You mean apart from that ? We have similarly huge help for nearly every final boss in the game.

    Because of gameplay mechanics, its that simple. The game would not be any fun if bosses where impossible due to them slaughtering everything that pulls them without a chance to fight them.

    It's gameplay mechanics blended with lore reasons.

    If this game had the same combat system as Dark souls, then yes, you would have to be very careful on how you approach the bosses.
    However, since this game is clearly not Dark souls nor TERA, it's the gameplay that limits it's encounters more than anything.

    If taken clearly from a Lore only perspective, then yes, Deathwing, Lich King, Kael'Thas and Illidan would all stomp the raiders without much of a challenge.
    But that wouldn't be much of a fun game, nor would it make it any easier to make people "Get out of the fire" as it is.

    It's a niche thing Blizzard decided to stay out of, and for good reason. It would make game balance, latency and hitbox become far more important and difficult to maintain and to make enjoyable for a large audience.
    I love the idea of bosses one shotting you if possible, being punishable if you make mistakes, as they are to some degree in WoW, but it just would not be very attractive to the larger audience Blizzard is seeking.

    The problem with this game is the epic scale of bosses and enemies. The source of all problems is literally always some kind of ancient evil and never an overly aggressive state or certain third-party politician (like Henselt or Shilard in Witcher 2). Garrosh happens to be an exclusion, but he does all that for the sake of being a mustache-twirling evil rather than to make any sense.

The same can be said for most of all the other raid bosses. It does not say that they were defeated by adventurers. If they were to be these all powerful beings we would never succeed in any raid.

    We didn't kill Deathwing on our own, we merely poked at him compared to what the aspects and Thrall did (with the Dragon Soul).
    We actually got killed by Arthas and was being ressed as his ghouls when Tirion saved us by breaking Frostmourne.
    On Raggy we got help from 3 very powerful Druids, atleast one of them being a demi-god.

    And if you check at the stuff Wrathion is saying, we're considered the greatest champions of Azeroth (Also mentioned by Arthas when he's about to ress us, saying that Tirion lead the strongest fighting force azeroth has to offer right into his hands).
    So it's not like we're just some random dude with a shield and sword that happened to stumble into the fight. Rogue from Ascendance Draenor EU

    Everyone talks about how powerful Sylvanas is and seems to forget she had her rotting head exploded like a ripe watermelon by a shotgun blast, as inglorious as hunting a deer for dinner. Game mechanics aren't story vehicles. Deathwing is very strong. Sylvanas, for example, isn't. But if Sylvanas could be one shot by a hunter's aimed shot, undercity FTA raids wouldn't be very engaging...

The Chicken and the Alligators
- or -
How to Facilitate a Support Group Meeting

by Russ Hicks
from Texas, USA

I'm certainly not an expert at facilitating meetings, but the good news is that I don't have to be. Let me tell you a true family story from long ago that taught me a valuable lesson..

Many years ago when our kids were about 10 and 7, our family took a vacation to Florida. On the edge of the Everglades we came across an "Alligator Farm" that, of course, we HAD to see. We got out of the car and walked back to the huge pen where they kept the alligators.

This circular pen was about 25 yards across, bordered by a five foot high concrete wall. We all peered over the wall into a surreal scene. There were at least a hundred alligators in there lying around everywhere - perfectly still. All they were doing was staring at each other with the malevolent alligator grins on their faces. No movement of any sort. At first we thought they were still life statues as we watched for several minutes before we detected any movement at all. One alligator slowly moved his eyeballs to look at us!

Then the owner walked out of his house carrying a dead chicken by the feet. He casually walked over and unceremoniously tossed the chicken into the middle of the alligator pen. WHOA! You'd have thought he'd have tossed a hand grenade in there! You wouldn't believe the reaction! Before the chicken even hit the ground, there was an explosion of alligators that is hard to describe. Every alligator in the pen leaped into the air, thrashing, snapping, teeth bared, tails crashing on one another...!

We jumped back to get out of the way of this frantic alligator riot to save our lives! The five foot wall hardly seemed tall enough to contain the melee of writhing alligators all trying to get at that one dead chicken. It was a sight to behold!

After less than a minute, everything calmed down a bit and we ventured backto the wall and peeked over again. There was the still life scene once more. One alligator near the middle had more of a grin on his face than the others, and a slightly fatter belly, but other than that, everything was back to normal. The owner had gone back in his house and the alligators were patiently waiting for the next chicken.

To this day, our family still talks about the chicken and the alligators. Whenever we want to stir things up a bit, someone throws a dead chicken in the middle of the crowd and the riot is on again!

Facilitating an NSA meeting is a lot like throwing a chicken to the alligators. The dead chicken is no more a gourmet meal than a facilitation is a Shakespearean play. People tend to think that they have to give an academy award performance just to facilitate a meeting. Not true at all. A dead chicken - or a single thought provoking idea - is all that's required to start the riot. Then all the facilitator has to do is to stand back and watch - and be amazed.

Lee Reeves and I used to carpool down the our Dallas NSA meeting. About half way down there, we'd say "Well, what do we want to talk about tonight?" We'd toss an idea or two around and by the time we got to the Callier Center, we'd be ready to go. Total preparation time: 15 minutes, max. Total effort involved: hardly any. But the discussions were always very meaningful and we felt proud of ourselves for coming up with these profoundly moving topics.

It wasn't until several years later that it occurred to us (really to Lee) that the success of the show wasn't about our topics at all. All we did was to throw the chicken to the alligators. And humbling as it was, it wasn't even about us either. The alligators couldn't care less who threw in the chicken. Anyone can throw in a chicken and get the same results.

We tried getting other people to throw in the chicken each meeting, and sure enough, the results were the same. Huge successes. The show was about the alligators, not the chicken - and certainly not the owner. (Would the show have been the same if the owner had thrown in a old tire? Probably not. At least not for long. Or for very many times. But that's another story.)

Anyone can come up with a chicken. Look out on Stutt-L or any of the stuttering discussion groups such as Stutteringchat or Stutt-X for an infinite supply of good chickens. A recent topic on Stutt-L on "Stuttering Recovery" is a perfect chicken. Topics - chickens - such as relationships, families, stuttering at work, growing up, books such as Marty Jezer's, winning attitudes... the list is endless. And anyone can come up with one. See the bottom of this article for an additional list of chickens.

A simple chicken is probably better than a complex chicken. And a sweet chicken is probably better - in the long run at least - than a sour chicken. Upbeat topics, successes and triumphs and good attitudes, make the best ones. Downbeat topics, job discrimination, rejections, etc., even work sometimes, as long as they aren't overdone. But even then, positive alligators in the audience can turn those topics around.

Remember people come to your meetings to TALK, not to be preached to (says I). As long as a person can talk, stuttering or not, then the meeting is a success for him or her. If someone goes away from a meeting and hasn't spoken or hasn't been given a chance to speak or asked for his opinion on some topic, then the meeting is a failure for him. So the object of the chicken is to get everyone to speak, not for the facilitator to show what a wonderful chicken he has.

Size? To give everyone a chance to speak, an ideal size for a breakout discussion group in about 4 or 5. Any number over 7 is probably too big. If you have a meeting with 9 people, break up into two groups for maybe half an hour. When we get 30 people, we generally break up into 5 or 6 small groups. A small meeting of 6 people can probably stick together the entire meeting. But we've even tried 2 people "groups" and that generally works pretty well. (We do that in our "Small Talk" meetings.)

You may have to designate a person to facilitate your next meeting. The facilitation part shouldn't run over 15 minutes, max. Five minutes or less is all it really takes to toss out a pretty good chicken. One of the perks in our meetings is that the facilitator gets to wander from small group to small group, just listening to what is being said. That's so cool and amazing. Most of the time (much to the chagrin of the facilitator), the topic itself has been left behind and what is being discussed is something else entirely. No problem. The people are talking and that's what's really important.

Once a person has facilitated his first meeting, getting him to do it again is typically no problem. Facilitating is fun and contagious. It's another stretch of your comfort zone. Try it once and succeed (and you certainly will) and you'll come back for more!

Not Updated For Current Season

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.

Offense: 4

Honor Guard

Defense: 11

Utility: 15

Guide Top

The underestimated top

Lets face it, barely anyone plays Nunu top, surprising you even stumbled across this guide :/, however Nunu is a very strong AP tank top, in my opinion rivaling the AP top capabilities of Vladimir, Cho'Gath, Rumble and Mordekaiser.

Currently Nunu is almost only ever played support or jungle (mainly support) Though his 1 to 1 scaling on his snowball, and the awesome 2.5x scaling on his ult gives him amazing damage potential, his consume is also great for baiting summoner spells and ultimate abilities (like good old Karthus) Consume is a great way to bait a Karthus ult before Karthus actually builds a bunch of AP. Someone trolling a Karthus? Sounds good

Guide Top

Nunu has an amazing harassing tool (his snowball) which a good Nunu player is able to sustain throughout the laning phase with constant use of their passive, he has a massive amount of sustain with consume and his passive, so as long as someone playing Nunu has the mana he cannot be dislodged from lane (Free farm :D.) As well as Nunu's decent laning power, in the late game he becomes an absolute beast, not with his own damage, though it is respectable with some AP items, but through the use of blood-boil in the allied ADC. So by late game, a ADC that hasn't been fed has the damage potential similar to a fed ADC, plus the amazing move speed buff. Another good thing that AP Nunu brings to the table is his ult... Though generally difficult to pull off against a team with hard cc, a fully channeled Nunu ult on 5 people basically guarantees winning a team fight, though it is a big more difficult to pull off against in lane.

Guide Top

Skill Sequence

Max snowballs for that lane harass, then consume if team fights are occurring early, but usually just alternate between BB and consume. Take ultimate whenever it is available.

Guide Top

The runes I use are completely flexible, if you feel like you would perform better without he mana regeneration yellows and have them as armour and your blues be MR per level, that's completely fine with me, I personally prefer mana yellows for the lane staying power it brings, making Nunu able to spam consume and snowball like BAWS.

Guide Top

Again, same as runes, take my masteries as more a guideline then a must do thing, just because you look up guides doesn't mean you have to be mindless.

Guide Top

Liandrys is amazing on Nunu, he has a single target spell with an inbuilt slow( meaning 10% base magic dmg) per snowball, which you can spam, this generally Gives you a edge against other tank tops like Malphite and Cho'gath. You might wish to invest in an early Chalice of harmony if you're versing an AP top and running out of mana, if you're uncomfortable with your enemies kill potential on you. You need to build tanky on nunu, why? Because I said so... and consume is a lot more useful if they're having trouble shaving health off you in the first place, that and this "meta" thing told you so. Frozen Heart is another good item on nunu, why you may ask lets think about it, snowball reduces attack speed by 25%, Absolute zero reduces attack speed by 25%, frozen heart reduces attack speed by 20%. If the enemy ADC is effected by all of these, they will close to no damage, while your ADC is sitting with a +65% attack speed buff. Captain boots are fun too, when an ally with blood-boil is coming towards you for a hug, they get +25% move speed. But only get captain boots in the late game, or your lane will push and ganks will occur

Guide Top

Team Work

Blood-boil the ADC, please just do it, unless you can help save someone with a blood-boil, only use it on the ADC, and if you're in a pre-made, make sure they only go in when the ADC is blood-boiled...

Guide Top

Farming is fairly annoying with Nunu, his abilities are too expensive to spend on farming early, so he only has his auto attacks, which won't do much as you should have no extra AD. However you can generally compensate for this by zoning the enemy out, snowballing and moving back a bit if they come in for a minion, with your early AP your enemy shouldn't last too long in lane against you, unless it's Yorick :3.

Sony Vaio Flip 13 In-Depth Review
      #45620 - 11/14/13 04:23 PM

The Sony Vaio Flip 13 has the cleanest and most unusual hinge design we've ever seen. The display portion's aluminum back panel has a visible split and this is where the machine does its transformation from laptop to presentation mode to tablet. It's a better design than the Lenovo Yoga 13 and Yoga 2 Pro whose keyboards face down to rest on the table or your legs in presentation and tablet modes. At 2.89 lbs. the Flip 13 is also bearable to use as a tablet. The Vaio Flip runs on 4th generation Intel Haswell Core CPUs with 4 to 8 gigs of RAM and SSD drives. It has a lovely full HD Triluminos IPS display with wide color gamut and and an N-Trig active digitizer for digital pen. Better yet, it's also available in 14 and 15 inch models too. Is it perfect? Not quite, but it's definitely one of the best Windows 8 convertible designs on the market.

Seidio ACTIVE with Metal Kickstand Case for HTC EVO 4G LTE Review

Android Phone Case Review: Seidio ACTIVE with Metal Kickstand Case for HTC EVO 4G LTE Review

Editor's Ratings (1-5): 4

What's Hot: Good protection, easy to use, slim and light.

What's Not: No screen film included, the kickstand only works in one direction.

Reviewed by Tong Zhang

The Seidio's Active X case for the iPhone 4S had been one of our favorite cases because of the clever design and good protection it provided. Seidio has now released the Active case with Metal Kickstand for the HTC EVO 4G LTE Android smartphone with a similar design and concept: the case covers the device in two separate layers, a silicone case and a hard plastic back cover. The Seidio ACTIVE with Metal Kickstand for the HTC EVO 4G LTE comes in five bright colors including black, gloss white, garnet red, amethyst and royal blue. As with many other Seidio cases, the ACTIVE case also works with a holster for belts and bag straps.

The Seidio Active with Metal Kickstand case is very easy to use thanks to the design. The case wraps the HTC EVO 4G LTE in a soft silicone cover that fits the phone perfectly, and you can easily put it on and take it off. Outside of the silicone case, you get a plastic "exoskeleton" cover that latches onto the device with claw-like clams. The plastic cover goes on top of the silicone case, providing extra strong protection against scratches, nicks and bumps to the phone. The exposed parts of the silicone case are thicker than the parts covered by the plastic cover; and together they provide good shock protection should you drop your phone, though not so much for the screen as it's mostly exposed.

The soft silicone case touches the device and won't scratch the phone's surface, and the hard plastic cover has nice soft touch coating. The ACTIVE case feels soft in hand and it's not slippery. Even with two layers of protection, the Seidio case manages to stay slim and light, weighing only 1.8 oz. The color options only differ in the colors of the hard plastic cover while the silicone case remains black in all five color selections.

Much like the Seidio Surface Case for the HTC EVO 4G LTE, the Seidio ACTIVE case has cutouts for all ports and the rear camera and flash while keeping the buttons protected. The cutouts for the sync/charge port and audio jack are just large enough to use sync cables or headphones easily, and the cutouts for the rear camera/flash and speaker are large enough for the lens and flash to function fully and let the sound through. The case also has two small cutout holes for the dual mic. The power button, volume controls and the camera button hide under the silicone case; but the raised buttons help you operate them easily.

As with the Seidio Surface case, the ACTIVE case wraps around the sides of the Android smartphone and covers the edges of the front bezel and protects the screen when you put the phone face down. But unlike the Surface, the ACTIVE case doesn't have a cutout for the built-in stand on the HTC EVO 4G LTE, instead, the case offers its own built-in kickstand. While the case's kickstand is steady and easy to use, it only works in direction while the phone's built-in stand works in both directions in landscape mode.

The Seidio ACTIVE with Metal Kickstand case for the HTC EVO 4G LTE is for users who need more rugged looking case than the Seidio Surface case. The two layers of materials give the phone good protection from serious scratches and bumps thanks to the hard plastic cover and good shock protection thanks to the soft silicone and the plastic claws coving all corners and two long sides of the phone. The case is very light and works with Seidio's belt holster but doesn't come with any screen film.

Phones 4u joins Carphone in bundling free laptops

Phones 4u joins Carphone in bundling free laptops

Phones 4u has joined Carphone Warehouse in bundling subsidised laptops with mobile broadband contracts across all of its stores.

However, the free laptop deal is restricted to just Orange dongles so far.

The retailer launched the deals this month, offering a Fujitsu Siemens or a Samsung laptop bundled with a £30-per-month Orange mobile broadband deal.

The Fujitsu Siemens laptop, worth £349.99, will be offered free with Orange mobile broadband, and the Samsung R60 laptop, worth £499.99, will cost £74.95 per broadband deal.

Phones 4u marketing director Jim Slater said: ‘Phones 4u are offering all you need to get online.

In April Phones 4u launched a pilot scheme subsidising plasma TVs and laptops bundled with TV and broadband services from Sky and Virgin. The pilot scheme was trialled in six stores in Birmingham and six in Liverpool.

The company is currently only subsidising laptops with Orange mobile broadband.

A spokeswoman said that there were plans to expand the range and choice of broadband and laptop offerings in the near future, but said that she could not give any more details at present.

Carphone boss Charles Dunstone set out his stall at the beginning of the year to do for laptops what his company did for mobiles - make them free with laptops.

Earlier this month, Carphone launched its Wireless World proposition, which now sees the company stocking three Toshiba laptops, an HP laptop and an Acer laptop, with broadband from TalkTalk, AOL, Orange, T-Mobile and 3.

Industry sources say that Carphone is chasing up to a 10% share of the UK consumer laptop market, which is around four to six million sales per year.

Carphone is aiming to shift its laptop strategy up a gear from next month, with the launch of an own-brand model.

transfer photos from ipad to computer?

how do you transfer photos taken with an iPad onto a computer (mac)?

Add a comment

JanSt / MOD  Jul. 16, 2014 at 11:35

Connect your iPad with the USB cable. Open "Image Capture" on the Mac. It opens and should show all content of your iPad's camera roll.
Tick the image/s you want to transfer, and choose where on the Mac you want to save those images.

Syncios  Jul. 25, 2014 at 09:43

I use Syncios to transfer photos from iPad to my windows pc and it works great. You can find some tool functions as Syncios to transfer files from iPad to your mac computer.

Fast facts

  • Affected by stiffness of surface, load, tissue composition, geometry
  • Usually expressed in lb/in2 (psi) or mmHg
  • Bony prominences can be exposed to higher stresses/strains and therefore may be reflected in deep tissue injury
  • Combination of pressure with other forces may exacerbate issues
  • Pressure wounds tend to be uniform or circular in shape and tend to present with a neat appearance
  • Influence of time – high loads experienced for short periods of time can be as damaging as smaller loads experienced for long periods of time

Impact will strive to improve, coach Mauro Biello says at post-mortem

The Impact announced that Ignacio Piatti is the club's MVP for the 2016 season and that Hassoun Camara is the defensive player of the year.

Stu Cowan: Impact loss a heartbreaking end to a breathtaking game

Must have been a very quiet ride back to Montreal late Wednesday for the four busloads of Impact fans.

Championship teams take advantage of opportunities and the Impact failed to do that.

Bernier's wife was part of the AS Varennes club that won the provincial and national over-30 women's championships this year.

As it stands, the Impact do not have to win the return leg in Toronto to move on to the MLS Cup final, but Toronto FC does.

While not all 60,000 headed to the Big O are necessarily big soccer fans, the game has become an event in the city.

Cowan: Impact spread their wings at the right time

Mauro Biello's goal of coaching the first Canadian team to win the MLS Cup is only three games away.

Stu Cowan: Impact leans on Laurent Ciman to shut down Red Bulls

“Playoffs are big moments for big players," Impact coach Mauro Biello said about the Belgian defender. "Laurent's a big player."

Impact captain Patrice Bernier banks on more MLS playoff magic

But chances of Didier Drogba facing D.C. United in knockout match Thursday in Washington are "very minimal," coach Mauro Biello says.

Impact needs win over Revs and Orlando victory to secure home playoff date

Montreal clinched a playoff spot with a 2-2 draw against Toronto FC last Sunday.

Lloyd Barker: Evan Bush, Impact hit stride in timely fashion

The Impact will make the MLS playoffs, it's just a matter of placing at this point.

Containing Wright-Phillips is key for Impact

Montreal clings to the fifth spot in MLS East and has never defeated the Red Bulls on the road.

Impact at Red Bulls: Five to watch

Midfielder Ignacio Piatti leads the Impact with 14 goals this season, but has only one in his last six games.

Montreal Impact's Patrice Bernier, left, breaks away from Sporting Kansas City's Graham Zusi during second half MLS soccer action in Montreal, Saturday, July 27, 2013.

The payoffs of preserving history

E-mail Print
From the News and Observer
By Bonnie Rochman

RALEIGH -- Renovating a house can be an exhausting experience in the best of situations.

But when that house is vintage 1881, on the National Register of Historic Places and its overhauling must meet the exacting standards of the U.S. Department of the Interior, the ordeal can become even more taxing.

Not in this case, though. By voluntarily adhering to federal guidelines that govern rehabilitation of National Register properties, Raymond Rodgers and his wife, Peggy, can take advantage of a state tax credit that amounts to 30 percent of the renovation costs to their home in Raleigh's historic Oakwood section. That's about $80,000 back in the bank - "a nice piece of change," as Raymond Rodgers assesses it.

For sure, the tax credit was not the only motivating factor in tackling the project. "The kind of person who does this is crazy enough to do it without the credit," said Peggy Beasley-Rodgers. "But it stacks the deck in favor of doing it."

Federal credits have long been used as a means of encouraging owners of income-producing historic properties to invest in their upkeep. But since the state introduced tax credits for non-income-producing structures in 1998, interest in having buildings cited on the National Register has soared.

In fiscal 1997, before the credits took effect, 38 projects in North Carolina sought admission to the Register. Two years later, after the credits became available, the number of applications had jumped to 57, said Claudia Brown, who oversees the branch of the state historic preservation office that processes nominations.

The relationship between tax credits and the increase in interest is pure cause and effect, said David Brook, deputy state historic preservation officer. His office shepherds nominations through to the national level.

"It has had a healthy impact on our economy," said Brook of the millions in rehab dollars being pumped into public and private coffers.

Throughout the state now, 45 projects are seeking the credits. The state also offers a 20 percent tax credit to owners of income-producing properties.

Hulene Hill knew all about the tax credits because she's a certified public accountant. Even still, when she and her husband bought the 1920 bungalow on Cameron Avenue in Chapel Hill in June, she didn't know she was eligible for them. Only after the closing, they found out their new home was on the Register. They recently began renovations and should recoup $30,000 in tax credits.

Jerry Roberts and his wife are taking advantage of the tax credit too. They were looking for something "quiet and nice and relaxing," preferably on the water, when they retired to North Carolina from California last year. Their search led them to a Georgian house built in 1785 and finished in the early 1800s in Merry Hill, near Edenton. By the time they finish restoring the house, they expect to shave $75,000 from their taxes.

The credit works this way: Before owners can begin work on a historic property, they must first submit plans for review by the state's preservation office to make sure their ideas are in line with those of the Interior Department. When the work is completed, they dispatch photos as proof that the end result matches the intent.

Then, it's rebate time: If, for example, the owners spend $100,000 in qualified costs, they are entitled to a $30,000 credit on their state income taxes to be spread over five years, or $6,000 a year. If they owe $10,000 in taxes in a given year, they would be able to subtract $6,000 from the total.

Not everyone is happy with these incentives. Some historians say tax credits encourage too many people to apply for historical status, chipping away at the exclusivity of the designation.

"No one believes in historic preservation more than me," said Dan Morrill, a professor of history at UNC-Charlotte and the director of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission. "But the problem is the tail starts wagging the dog. In my opinion, the danger is that people will seize upon the means of getting a tax credit and not be as concerned about whether it truly is something that is important to the legacy of our country."

Dan Becker, the director of Raleigh's Historic Districts Commission, doesn't see it like that. "There is no evidence that they are compromising the standards for designation," he said. "Sometimes I feel they're too rigorous."

In reality, the Register is national only in name. Only 5 percent of listed properties are of national significance. A quarter have state historic stature, Brook said, and the remaining 70 percent are of local importance.

Yet as the Register expands, the definition of what's historic is evolving. Historic properties used to be associated primarily with presidents or governors; today they represent the lives of more ordinary people.

But there are some who still cling to tradition.

"They say, 'We understand why Mount Vernon ought to be on the Register, but all that stuff here couldn't be historic because it's associated with us,'" Brook said. "Some people are just not comfortable with designating something historic that doesn't have columns or isn't associated with General So-and-So."

Some historians think the interest in historic preservation transcends the tax credits. As a new century looms, some, such as Margaret Skinner, see the heightened interest in historic preservation as a way to cling to the romanticism of the past.

Skinner is the marketing director for the Carolina Inn, a graceful Chapel Hill landmark that recently gained a spot on the Register. In her job, she has noted that guests seem to be embracing what she called "heritage tourism" now more than ever.

"Folks are feeling a little bit dissociated because there's not a real sense of community like there used to be," Skinner said. "I, for one, would rather stay in a historic hotel that has a story to tell than, for instance, a hotel in Las Vegas or Disney World. I don't want to go to a place where they create the small town. I don't want something fake."

The Rodgers are going for the real thing. At 4,700 square feet, the Rodgers' two-story house, known as the Briggs-Aycock mansion, is one of the largest homes in Oakwood.

The house, located at the corner of North Bloodworth and Franklin streets, was the first in the neighborhood. Gov. Charles B. Aycock once lived there. Before that, Thomas Argo, a Civil War colonel and judge, died there.

The Rodgerses and their daughter, Austin, 14, moved in a year and a half ago, using the old servants' quarters as an all-purpose room as construction and demolition swirl around them. Renovations should be complete within two years.

Meanwhile, the work is painstaking. "If it takes a permit to get a pistol, it ought to take one to get a paintbrush," said Rodgers, standing on the heart pine floors that former tenants painted a dull gray. The Rodgerses are stripping the floors down to the wood. "People really murder houses."

The most immediate challenge was the absence of a bathtub or shower. "It has to be historically accurate, but this house would not have had indoor bathrooms in the 1880s," said Rodgers, Chef Rameaux of Chef Rameaux's School of Cooking and Louisiana Market. The end result: old-fashioned clawfoot tubs coupled with modern tiling.

Wherever possible, the state historic preservation office expects the owners of historic properties to strive for authenticity. So lamps are antique-style, wallpaper is floral Victorian and original wooden floors and banisters regain their original splendor. "If we wanted to put in garish Danish modern stuff, they'd probably balk at that," Rodgers said. "Not that they can stop you from doing that, but they can withhold the tax credits. That's the carrot."

If the recollection of an elderly woman serves, the Rodgerses' house apparently once had a sweeping porch that was the envy of the neighborhood. A former resident of the area, she stopped by to reminisce when the Rodgerses lived across the street. "Lordy mercy, that house had the most beautiful porch in Oakwood," she exclaimed.

Since then, the Rodgerses have unearthed photos of the ornate Victorian structure with its elaborately-hewn balusters and are setting about its restoration.

It's history come full circle in more ways than one.

"At first you're only thinking about your own personal interest in turning this old, ramshackle-looking house into a beautiful home, but as you get into it you realize your motives are exactly the same as the preservationists," said Beasley-Rodgers, principal of Powell Elementary School. "It's like recapturing a moment in time."

Reasons for the big-three boom

by |
Most Canadian markets are stagnating but three, in particular, are booming and one major economist has laid out five reasons for this “puzzling” trend.

In his housing report, “Canada’s Housing Boom: And then there were Three,” Sal Guatieri, senior economist for BMO, lays out five explanations for why Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver – Canada’s hottest markets – have enjoyed such significant gains.

“First, the Hot-3 all have rapidly growing populations, led by Calgary’s stellar 4.1 per cent y/y clip,” Guatieri writes. “Even relative laggard Toronto is growing faster than the rest of the country (1.8 per cent vs 1.0 per cent) and the second largest city, Montreal (1.2 per cent).”

The combined population of Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto has risen twice as fast as the rest of the country in the past decade, recording 23 per cent population growth compared to 11 per cent.

“Second, young people are driving demand in the Hot-3, especially condos,” Guatieri writes. “When baby boomers flocked to Toronto in the late 1980s, sales and prices bolted skyward. Today, their older children are one of the fastest growing age groups.”

The third reason, according to Guatieri, is the solid job markets in each of these three cities. All three are set to enjoy more growth, year-over-year than any other cities in the country.

“Fourth, cheap financing matters more in cities with poor affordability,” Guatieri writes. “The typical family would need to spend 62 per cent of gross income on mortgage payments to buy a Vancouver bungalow, and this jumps to 75 per cent if rates rise two points.”

The final contributing growth factor – especially in Vancouver and Toronto – is foreign investment.

“Many new residents and foreign investors pay cash, and some of the more affluent investors don’t even bother leasing their units,” he writes. “They are motivated by wealth diversification—and Canada ranks high on the list of countries that are politically stable. Vancouver continues to be a favoured destination of Asian immigrants.”

Motherhood Stuffs: Make your home an ash free

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Make your home an ash free

I have nothing against people who smoke. That is the choice of lifestyle they picked. They should be responsible for the things they do. However, sometimes there are people who just don’t care. That’s why, at home for me. I make sure cigar ashtrays are available. Since you can’t predict if you have visitors who do smoke cigar whether inside or outside the house. To keep it my premises clean and cigar ashes free, I have to get one. There are plenty of nice designs you might want to get too. To be more stylist even though it’s something you don’t see that often

  1. Very good idea. I need to be smoke free in my home

  2. I still smoke-but have plenty of ashtrays around! Have not had anyone visit yet who smokes cigars---something to think about.

  3. I am a horrible host, no smoking in, or around my home. I know it is not nice but I have a child with health issues so it is not allowed. Nice of you to be considerate of your guests though.

Really Appreciates your perspective towards my entries. Thanks for sharing and the time to leave your message to let me know you are here to support me too.

Rest assure that I will be visiting you ASAP, and will do the same favor as you did for me.

Thanks, Novah!

Best Street Bike 2013: Ducati Multistrada S

December 27, 2013
By Motorcycle USA Staff
Videos Our Sponsor

Motorcycle USA recaps the best and brightest of the 2013 riding season in its annual Best of Awards Street video – including best street bike, sportbike and coveted Motorcycle of the Year.

The Ducati Multistrada has thrilled MotoUSA testers ever since its complete overhaul in 2010, but the Italian marque continued to refine with its 2013 model. Ducati’s Adventure-Touring platform is a street bike first and foremost, and a high-performance one at that. The latest edition only enhances its on-road performance.

For 2013 the Multi’s Superbike-derived engine platform gets a 5% boost in peak torque for 2013, not that it needed any help! The Testastretta L-Twin already ripped on the street, but now gets a smidge more gusto with those extra claimed 4.5 lb-ft. The electronic package allows riders to dumb things down from 150 to 100 horsepower via the selectable engine maps. Only 100 hp…

But it’s the new electronic addition of Ducati’s Skyhook suspension system that raises the performance bar. Electronically-adjustable suspension is the latest big-ticket technological development for performance bikes, and Ducati’s Skyhook system takes the concept to a new level – updating the already flawless handling of its predecessor.

The arrival of the Multistrada has forever altered the so-called Adventure-Touring segment, with its raw performance forcing both BMW and KTM to power up with their latest “Adventure” mounts. While we have consistently taken shots at the Ducati’s off-road durability as a true Adventure bike, there’s no match for the Duc on the street – making the Multistrada S our selection as Best Street Bike of 2013.

DeSalle and Suzuki Win Hawkstone MX1

Rockstar Energy Suzuki World MX1’s Clement Desalle raced to victory at the Hawkstone Park International Motocross – the second year in succession that the Belgian has topped the MX1 class at the popular UK pre-season event.

Desalle – who also put his Suzuki RM-Z450 on the top step of the podium at the Valence International in France last weekend – won both races at the famous and historic former GP venue in Shropshire on Sunday.

After recording Pole Position in the morning’s qualifying, the 22 year old grabbed the holeshot in the first MX1 race, closely followed by main rival Gautier Paulin (Kawasaki). The two swapped places briefly, but Desalle managed to pull away and take the flag. In the second race, he accidentally went off the track while leading, but he managed to recover and close back on the Frenchman, get ahead again; and bring home his second victory of the day – and the overall – by six points.

In the joint MX1-MX2-class Superfinal – where the top MX2 competitors were given a five-second head-start from the MX1 riders – Desalle finished in second place behind Swiss Arnaud Tonus (Yamaha).

Desalle’s World MX1 team mate Tanel Leok was a non-starter at the event: The Estonian was injured in a mid-week training session when he collided with another rider. X-rays showed a small tear in his ankle tendon and after consulting with team Doctor Sam Vermeiren and specialist Toon Claes, it was decided not to race as a preventative measure and to allow the injury to heal in time for the opening round of the World MX1 Championship on April 9th at Valkenswaard in Holland.

Said Desalle, who was injured whilst leading last year’s World MX1 series: “The race was a good preparation for the season. Together with Paulin, I think we had some exciting races. I feel good on the bike and I’m happy that my shoulders are doing well: I found some issues, however, that I can still work on in my preparation towards the first GP in Valkenswaard.”

MX1 Class Overall Result: 1 Clement Desalle (Rockstar Energy Suzuki) 20+20 – 40 points, 2 Gautier Paulin 17+17 – 34, 3 Xavier Boog 9+15 – 24, 4 Kevin Strijbos 11+13 – 24, 5 Shaun Simpson 15+7 – 22.

Superfinal Result: 1 Arnaud Tonus, 2 Clement Desalle (Rockstar Energy Suzuki), 3 Mattis Karro, 4 Marc De Reuver, 5 Jake Nicholls.

 Ducati burns the history books with new 1199 superbike | MCN

Ducati burns the history books with new 1199 superbike

Published: 01 June 2011

The first spy shot of Ducati's 1198-replacing new superbike confirms the firm is a lot less sentimental about traditional Ducati characteristics than many fans. The result is the most extreme V-twin ever, but with its RSV4-alike tail, Kawasaki-style side-mounted shock and Buell-pattern belly-mounted exhaust it's without question less distinctively Ducati.

But the fact is the firm can't afford to care. Ducati knows it must be associated with performance more than any particular means of achieving it, and this picture confirms their new flagship is a machine conceived almost entirely by head, not heart.

Gone is the steel trellis, underseat exhausts, vertical shock. The single-sided swingarm and desmodromic L-twin architecture (still 90 degrees but canted a few degrees back) are the last remaining shreds of Ducati DNA, and both of those have been pushed to their limits. Insiders have told MCN the bore/stroke is so wildly oversquare (bore is likely to be up around half a centimetre on the 1198) that the only way to keep growing power would be to add more cylinders, finally leaving the core Ducati superbike characteristic behind.

Thankfully for the firm, the test – only the second track outing for the new bike – was positive enough to confirm there will be no back-pedaling on the monocoque chassis design, which like the GP bike joins forks to engine with a rigid 'stressed airbox'. Coupled with the advances made with Rossi's more rider-friendly GP12 - with which it was sharing test time - the 1199's second outing was a major relief to Ducati, whose heart has been in its mouth since it decided to listen more to its head.

Bentley celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation

Buckingham Palace Gardens

Bentley Motors wills be helping to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen’s Coronation at Buckingham Palace Gardens by displaying some of the most historical and many of the most current Bentleys at the event. The British luxury carmaker, which designed and hand-built the Queen’s state limousine, will sponsor the Coronation Festival Gala that forms part of the coronation festival. The event will showcase some of the UK’s most creative and successful businesses and organizations, and celebrate the best of UK companies.

Bentley’s luxurious flagship sedan, the award-winning Mulsanne, will be joined by the world’s fastest four-seat, open-top car the 323-kph Continental GT Speed Convertible. The iconic R-Type Continental that was at its pinnacle during the original coronation celebrations will also be on display. Richard Charlesworth, Bentley’s director of royal and VIP relations said “the opportunity to build, and now support, the state limousine is a great source of pride for everyone at Bentley and many of our customers. It is perhaps one of the most recognized and photographed cars in the world.”

Bentley Motors employs approximately four thousand people in Crewe, which is home to all its operations, including design, R&D, engineering and production. The combination of fine craftsmanship, using skills that have been handed down through generations, alongside engineering expertise and cutting-edge technology is a unique example of high-value British manufacturing. Bentley’s exhibition area will allow visitors to take a rare glimpse inside the company’s headquarters in Cheshire, where some of the world’s best luxury cars are created using a unique combination of traditional hand craftsmanship skills and leading-edge automotive production processes.

The Coronation Festival is an exciting and unique event which is hosted by the Royal Warrant Holders Association, will bring together for the first time on this scale over two hundred companies who hold Royal Warrants of Appointment. Promoting the very best of UK plc, the Festival will celebrate innovation, excellence and industry through trade and craft.

The Festival will be open to members of the public who will be able to buy a ticket for the daytime event; giving visitors the opportunity to explore the Gardens and buy, sample and experience the wide range of products and services from the exhibitors. There is also the opportunity to buy a ticket for a magnificent Gala evening of entertainment, a celebration of music and dance over the past sixty years.

BMW Servicing: Benefits, Service Packs And MOT Protect

BMW servicing: BMW Service Inclusive, Inclusive Plus, MOT Protect, plus benefits of manufacturer servicing

BMW argues: You didn’t compromise on your choice of car, so why compromise with its servicing? The motor manufacturer – that produces popular models such as the 3 Series Saloon, X3 and 4 Series Convertible – claims there are countless benefits to trusting its Franchised Dealer Network in preference to the alternatives.

Technicians are trained for at least one-hundred hours, have access to approved diagnostic equipment, and only install manufacture parts backed by a two-year, fitted parts, warranty. Work is on a fixed price basis and costs less than some motorists assume. “Think we're expensive? Think again”, BMW claims.

BMW Service Packs: Service Inclusive & Inclusive Plus

BMW Service Packs: Service Inclusive & Inclusive Plus BMW Service Packs cover maintenance for the first five years from registration, or sixty thousand miles (whichever is sooner).

BMW's website number plate search confirms which cars have such cover. This particularly benefits used buyers that might otherwise not recognise their entitlement. Not everyone knows Service Plans remain with vehicles when sold, after all.

The BMW Service Inclusive pack incorporates engine oil and filter (including top-ups between services), microfilters (air-con/charcoal container), air filter, spark plugs (petrol models only), fuel filter (diesel models only) and brake fluid. BMW Service Inclusive Plus adds: renew front/rear brake pads and discs, renew clutch and replace wiper blades.

BMW MOT Protect Cover

BMW Service Inclusive and Inclusive Plus incorporate MOT Protect for year one (for cars registered since January 1st 2009). Those registered since January 1st 2013 have second and third-year cover too.

Its purpose is to minimise cost and inconvenience should there be a failure. BMW claims: “MOT Protect will ensure repairs, replacements and labour are covered on a long list of key items from electrical and lighting equipment to steering and suspension.”

Furthermore: “Any issues will be addressed promptly and completely free of charge so you can land your MOT certificate with the minimum of fuss.”

BMW Service Icons Explained

BMW has systems that confirm when servicing is required. Part of the benefit of such work is that it proves to future buyers that cars have received the “best care”, the company says.

Newer vehicles with iDrive have Condition Based Servicing (CBS) that monitors components such as engine oil, brake pads, brake fluid, spark plugs and the diesel particulate filter.

A red triangle confirms when these items require attention based on their condition. Older cars have the Service Interval Indicator (SII) which recommends care according to how many miles have been covered. Icons include oil, front brake pads, and rear brake pads.

IRL: Hornish earns historic win at Phoenix

PHOENIX, Sunday, March 18, 2001 -- Sam Hornish Jr. was only 16 years old and a high school student when 24-year-old Buzz Calkins won the first Indy Racing League race at Walt Disney World Speedway in January 1996. Sunday Hornish, now 21,...

PHOENIX, Sunday, March 18, 2001 -- Sam Hornish Jr. was only 16 years old and a high school student when 24-year-old Buzz Calkins won the first Indy Racing League race at Walt Disney World Speedway in January 1996. Sunday Hornish, now 21, became the youngest winner in series history and probably the youngest in major North American open-wheel racing history as he dominated the Pennzoil Copper World Indy 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. He scored his first victory in only his ninth Indy Racing Northern Light Series race. Hornish, driving his first race for the Pennzoil Panther Racing team, took the checkered flag in his yellow Pennzoil Panther Racing Dallara/Oldsmobile/Firestone car 1.3786 seconds in front of A.J. Foyt driver Eliseo Salazar, who is the league's oldest driver at 45. Hornish earned a check for $124,300 check from a total purse of $1,077,500. Finishing behind the front two were Lazier, Sharp and Billy Boat, all completing 200 laps. Felipe Giaffone was the top finishing rookie in sixth. In recent racing history, the late Greg Moore of Canada won a CART race at Milwaukee at age 22. Also, the late Troy Ruttman won the Indianapolis 500 at 22 in 1952 and is the youngest winner there. Hornish stepped into the Pennzoil car after 40-year-old Scott Goodyear departed the team at the end of last season. Goodyear ended on a winning note, capturing the 2000 season finale at Texas Motor Speedway. On Sunday at Phoenix, Hornish grabbed the lead from MBNA Pole sitter Greg Ray in the first turn of the initial lap and wound up running up front for 140 of 200 circuits on the 1-mile desert oval. He averaged 125.072 mph. "This is great," Hornish said. "What else could you ask for? To come to the first race and get all the jitters gone, it's great. I hope we have a lot more of these." Hornish admitted Saturday that he became "chicken" in Turn 1 during qualifying after spinning in that turn during practice. He certainly showed no fear in that turn when the green flag dropped to start the race. Starting on the outside of the front row, Hornish roared right around and away from Ray in the first two bends. That's when he knew he had the car to beat. "I think about Lap 1 when I got in the lead by passing on the outside," Hornish said of when he thought he was the driver to beat. "I knew we were going to have a good day. "I was trying as hard as I could to concentrate (in the closing laps). The Pennzoil crew gave me a great car all day long." Hornish, a native of Defiance, Ohio, joined the circuit last season as a 20-year-old. His family's business, Hornish Brothers Trucking, provided early sponsorship as he drove for PDM Racing. His best finish was third at Las Vegas. He also showed lots of ability, especially at Kentucky Motor Speedway by leading 38 laps. "We were a little bummed out after our race at Pikes Peak last year," Hornish said. "Didn't do so well (19th), and heard that John Barnes (Panther Racing co-owner and team manager) was interested in talking with us. I gave them a call, went down there and met with them, went and did our test. Everything went really good. "I kind of progressed from there. It took a little while to get everything done, come to the first race and get all of the bugs out, the jitters gone. If this is the learning stroke, hopefully we're going to have a lot more of these this year." Salazar hung among the leaders throughout the race that was marked by five cautions and three accidents. He worked his way up to second but could not close the gap on Hornish over the final laps. "I told my wife that I've finished every place but second," Salazar said. "I had to get second. That's nice enough." Hornish pulled out to a comfortable lead through the first quarter of the race, leading the first 68 laps. But then Ray caught back up and flew by Hornish in Turn 1 to finally take the lead. Nine laps later, Jeret Schroeder hit the rear end of Roger Penske driver Gil de Ferran's car as de Ferran slowed to make his pit stop. This carried both of them into the Turn 4 wall, also collecting Mark Dismore. de Ferran had led laps 74 through 77, and teammate Helio Castroneves led the next four before Kelley Racing driver Scott Sharp moved to the front. This period proved critical for Hornish. During the flurry of pit stops, Hornish wound up behind the Pace Car in fifth but nearly a full lap behind leader Castroneves. But a new rule announced Saturday allowed all cars in front of the leader and behind the Pace Car to circle the track and attach to the end of the pack. Ray was back charging away on Lap 82, but 37 circuits later coasted into the pits with smoke pouring out of his engine. That handed the lead to Frenchman Stephan Gregoire. Gregoire's good fortune disappeared nine laps later when Indy Racing and race defending champion Buddy Lazier had trouble shifting gears entering Turn 2, causing Gregoire to spin to avoid hitting him. He hit the wall instead. That turned the lead back to Hornish on Lap 128, and he never wavered the rest of the way to the finish. ""I think the track changed twice, once at about 40 laps when it got loose and then at 180 when I started feeling every twitch in the car," he said. "The track just kept getting greasy. I think my advantage is I was the best in traffic. I could put my car anywhere I wanted." The Indy Racing Northern Light Series now moves to Homestead-Miami Speedway for the Infiniti Grand Prix of Miami presented by Americatel on April 8.
