Someone really likes the original one
Posted 12 April 2012 - 16:08
I started playing alone when it came out, as Brick (though I never finished that playthrough). Then I started over with friends, playing as Lilith--we went through the second playthrough.
I just bought the expansion packs (wanted to finish them before the second game came out) but haven't touched the game in over a year, and since I no longer have my save on my HD, I had to play through the entire game again in order to play those. It went fast, since my boyfriend decided to give Willowtree a go.
I do really like the original. But I'm not obsessive over it, either . It's genuinely a great game! I usually play the hell out of my games, and that one just happens to have a lot of replay value, for me.
Posted 12 April 2012 - 17:22
I haven't bought the expansion packs myself, but I have played them. On another system.
As for the gameplay, I have finished it 1.5 times. Was almost in the middle when Battlefield 3 came out, and then Mass Effect 3 and now Max Payne 3 and .... the list goes on

Debut LP from these Colorado punk favorites! Straight from fellow indy label 1-2-3-4-Go!, comes the limited red vinyl version of this scorcher. This directly precedes their incredible Loose Control album on Alternative Tentacles. It's a gatefold with printed inner sleeve! Limited stock!
"Git Some is a band which has been around a bit and actually predates the participation of two of its members (Chuck French and Neil Keener) in the much vaunted group, Planes Mistaken for Stars (even though many will consider this a new band featuring ex-members of said well known group for which they would be wrong). Git Some is a bit of a different animal than Planes Mistaken for Stars. but the same fierce energy is present and for some reason "aggro" keeps popping into my head when trying to describe this outfit. Cosmic Rock is the first album from this four piece from Colorado in the U.S., and its eleven tracks bristle with a sort of coming out one's skin manic energy, a cathartic release of pent up aggression if you will.
Git Some surely give listeners a solid album with Cosmic Rock; lots of solid songwriting with flashes of real inspiration dash its "aggro" nature. You can definitely picture dudes with big burly beards rocking out to this in late nights at basement shows. Git Some is good and bring the fun with this record; just don't blame me if you decide to grow a beard after checking this out (which you should do if you enjoyed Planes Mistaken for Stars after they made the move to Colorado, not because Git Some sounds like them but rather that passion is evident) because that's on you."- Scene Point Blank
"Full disclaimer: I wasn't a huge Planes Mistaken for Stars fan. I've only heard a song here and there and honestly, nothing about them really grabbed me. And yeah, I know, it takes a lot of time and patience to appreciate and 'get' a band as complex as Planes, but my heart was just never in it for whatever reason. Thus, my comparisons in this review could be way off-base. Sorry.
All right, now that that's out in the open, let's forget the past and talk about the present. Namely, this new record from Git Some, a band that happens to feature Neil M. Keener and Chuck Fresh, formerly of PMFS. What are the similiarities between the two bands, you might ask? Well, they both rock, but in completely different ways; while Planes tweaked their sound a bit from record to record, it could overall best be pigeonholed as emotional post-hardcore. On the other side of the coin, Git Some is little more than a back-to-basics, dirty punk rock act, and on their debut Cosmic Rock, they pull it off rather well.
That's not to say there's a liberal sprinkling of different post-hardcore and even metal influence throughout the record; one listen to the the throaty yells and visceral instrumentation that adorn opener "Glowing Shadows" ought to confirm that there's more going on here than meets the eye. Not to mention the raw, bass-heavy "Nice Suit" and the sludgy, just plain ol' heavy "That's Just Eczema."
And the riffs! Tasty riffs are everywhere on Cosmic Rock. Said riffs help create an urgent feel in "Trixy Loves Misty," cause the listener to involuntarily throw up some devil horns in "Chainsaw Clothesline" and in "Falling from Grace" compose some lixxx that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Fucked Up's Hidden World. That's barely the half of it, though; just about each song on Cosmic Rock features a riff that will make you think, "I wish I could play that." Or in this reviewer's case, "I wish I could play anything."
The drumming here is impressive as well, and despite the raw production, every glorious, rolling fill is able to be heard. In fact, Cosmic Rock is the first record I've heard in a while where 'raw' production is done right; every instrument and nuance here is perfectly audible, but there's no sense that everything was wiped down with a squeegee before handing the master tapes over to the pressing plants. Thank goodness.
There are a few noticeable curveballs here, however. The brief, discordant "Buckle Up!" is all right enough, but doesn't seem to fit in well with the rest of the record. The band goes slightly off-time in the chaotic "Fabric Eyes" (the guitar work, especially) and there's a neat, slightly mathy drum fill in the aforementioned "Glowing Shadows," but it's all done well and in moderation, so no complaints.
It goes without saying that Git Some won't please every fan dearly missing PMFS (those fans may also want to check out Planes vocalist Gared O'Donnell's new project, Hawks and Doves), but Cosmic Rock is a fine debut nonetheless and one serious force of a rock record."- punknews.org

C# MVP Chris Woodruff posted the following from his
The keynotes for BUILD were also a sign of things to come. Steve Ballmer kicked things off and did most of the demos during the first day of the BUILD keynotes solo. It was a daring and exciting move for the Microsoft CEO to not only sit up on stage with so many Windows 8 and RT devices but he actually used his personal Microsoft account to demo the features and capabilities of the next flagship OS from Microsoft. I was surprised at the passion and enthusiasm Ballmer had while demoing and it really got the crowd going. He even joked around a little and made fun of himself which you always like to see from the CEO of such a large company. In addition to a great keynote, Microsoft also announced that each attendee to BUILD would receive 100Gb of SkyDrive space, a 32Gb Surface and a Nokia Lumia 920 developer phone (unlocked and build for most carrier SIM cards).
The second day of BUILD started with keynotes from the services side of the Windows 8… the other huge bet Microsoft has made in the last 4 years: Microsoft Azure. The highlight of the keynote was the announcement that Microsoft Azure Mobile Services would be opened up for use in Windows Phone 8. That along with other new features and updates to Azure for web developers and IT Pros made this keynote stand out. Nothing as exciting as the first day but still a great message.

Residents pitch designs for transportation center
SAN YSIDRO The multipurpose room at Willow Elementary School looked like a craft fair Wednesday night, but it was adults instead of kids playing with the markers, posters, plastic figures and even Legos.
SANDAG, Caltrans and the Metropolitan Transit System were hosting the second of four public workshops on the design for a new Intermodal Transportation Center at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. The meeting was part of an ongoing study to improve access and traffic flow at the transit center, which serves trolleys, taxis, buses and pedestrians at the busy border crossing. The transit center is separate from the recently revamped Land Port of Entry for private vehicles and pedestrians.
Consultants shared results from a survey conducted at the first public workshop in January before putting attendees to work on their own models of what the new center could look like.
Joe Charest, vice president of San Diego-based consultant Katz & Associates, said it is clear from the survey that residents are enthusiastic about the project and favor an open-air design. He shared quotations from the surveys that called for something "iconic and efficient for all modes of travel" that will be both "grand and functional."
"Across a wide section of community members, a good portion of you think this is an extremely essential facility," Charest said. "We're not just talking about essential; we're talking about extremely essential. That bodes well for the process we're going through and where that will end up."
He said 90 percent of those surveyed felt it was critical for trolley and bus services to continue, and most said they would prefer to keep the facilities at street level, rather than above or below ground. Three-quarters want an open-space design with a plaza, and the same number said the center should have restaurant options.
A 78 percent majority said they feel it is "extremely important" to have shops and other commercial space at the new center, and 74 percent said paid parking facilities are a must. Other amenities they hope see include public art, shaded areas and benches, Charest said.
Charest added that most said access to the freeway will be important for the center.
"That certainly is an area where, if you're familiar with the area as we all are, traffic congestion is a pretty significant problem to be solved," he explained.
BAE Urban Economics principle Ron Golem broke down the site's potential for retail, lodging, meeting and office space, based on a studies and surveys of the transit center over the years.
Traffic at the border should be able to support between 30,000 and 150,000 square feet of retail space by 2020, he said.
Most of the shops and restaurants would need to be small, he said, because the average traveler will spent between 50 cents and $2 per day.
His data also suggest a 75-room hotel with substantial meeting space could do very well at the site, he said, adding that other possible uses at the site include a Southwestern College campus, a charter school and small offices for companies involved in cross-border trade.

The wealthiest Americans have been in the spotlight for reasons ranging from public outrage over lavish lifestyles during the recession to executive bonuses in the midst of the financial crisis. The Occupy Wall Street movement was perhaps the most visible culmination of these concerns, broadly protesting against the divide between the majority of the U.S. population and the ultra-rich, referred to by the protesters as the "one percent."
The question arose: Who are the one percent, and where are they from? In fact, the composition of the group variesfrom business people, doctors, lawyers and financial professionals to celebrities, farmers and even government workers. But where do these high-earners live? Even that is a tricky question since many have multiple residences. However, Wealth-X,a global wealth intelligence firm, compiles data on ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individuals, including net worth, but also characteristics such as philanthropic interests, politics and affiliations. A UHNW individual is defined by Wealth-X as anyone with at least $30 million when accounting for a range of assets, including shares in companies, real estate, cash, art collections, private planes and other investable assets.
According to Wealth-X, the United States is home to 57,860 such individuals, and when this number is compared to the over 114 million households in the country today, this group would represent approximately 0.05 percent of the nation. Although still only a fraction of the one percent, it is one of the closest estimations of this income group and is a proxy for high net worth individuals under the $30 million mark. For individuals with a net worth above $1 million, this group accounts for about 5 percent of the population.
As it turns out, some cities are magnets for UHNW individuals, and the cities with the most of this wealthy class average approximately one in 3,075 people, according to Wealth-X, while the 27,540 UHNW individuals in the top 10 cities have a combined net worth of $3.6 trillion, or 6.2 percent of the total U.S. net worth. "Certain geographic clusters generate and attract wealth," said Wealth-X co-founder David Friedman. "A concentration of UHNW individuals is certainly indicative of an area's overall economic health."

Ok, So I've shown the boss that we can upgrade newer software while keeping our current hardware by doing some virtualization.
NOTE - This is not a huge corp - LOL like 20 to 30 Users at MOST. I know we could do it all on Server 2012 Essentials or SBS 2011 but we need full fledge SQL for the new database we are gonna be running and SBS doesn't do Hyper-V I think. ESXI I guess could work there but still
We have 2 machines running Windows SBS 2003 R2 (#1) and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise (#2):
#1 Roles:
AD/DHCP/DNS/SharePoint(including SQL built in)
#2 Roles:
SQL 2005 for a program we use and File Sharing.
#1 runs on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Dual (2) Quad Core Xeon 5405 - with 4GB now (Max is 32/64GB - can't figure out which!) 3x 15K SAS 146GB in RAID 5*
#2 runs on a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Single Quad Core Xeon 5430 - 8GB now. 3x SAS 15K 300GB in RAID 5*
* = I know RAID 5 sucks for write performance so that's already being switch to a RAID10.
Ok So what do you guys think about my plan to switch everything to #1, stuff some more RAM in there up to 20-30GB and virtualize?
So it would be like this:
#1 = Windows Server 2012 - AD/DHCP/DNS/File Shares + Program we use now but using SQL Express it comes with (has to be 2005!!)
#1.1 = Windows Server 2012 - Exchange 2010 and IIS for the web and ActiveSync stuff.
#1.2 = Windows Server 2012 - SQL 2008 SP3 + NEW Software for new database we getting.
#1 = 4 - 8GB Of RAM
#1.1 = 12GB of RAM
#1.2 = 8GB of RAM
Sounds do-able or am i just dreaming?
I am running #1 and 1.1 now on another (older) 2950 with 9GB and been part of the domain for like a week too and seems stable (other than known issues ).
Any tweaks or changes you guys think would make it run better? Thanks!
Question 2 - Storage is an issue if you ask me, boss being cheap! I wanted to get 4 x 1TB SAS 7200RPM drives for $150 each to build the RAID 10. Now my plan is to use 2 x 146GB in RAID 1** and the 4 x 300GB 15K SAS in RAID 10.
So I know it's not recommended to run Exchange on a dyanamic VHD - but what if I ONLY put the Windows Install there but put the Information Store and other data that Exchange writes to (log and such) on a FIXED VHD of say 60GB while keeping the Windows/Exchange Install to a dynamic C drive to cut down on space usage (only like 20-30GB VHD then)?
** - Should I do RAID0 instead of RAID1 for the 146GB drives (OS ONLY, no Data) for more performance since we backup to a USB Drive + (PLUS) OFFSITE backup evernight? Shadow Copies - which they (offsite people) test by booting it in a VM to see if it works.
Edited by SHoTTa35, 11 October 2012 - 17:40. Reason: Added clarification to the RAID0 question.

Well I think I kinda figured it out as seeing from win8 desktop showing up fine on the laptop --- it was a case of User is an idiot and did not run the proper boot for win8 on key ...
for everyone else that is having issues you can follow these steps to create a boot key (Secure boot for new win8) --- Note: same steps for x86/64 however, for x64 you need a 64bit system to create the USB - I think
Step 1. Open up command prompt (CMD) but with admin privileges (otherwise some steps will not work)
Type the following (Enter after each command):
SELECT DISK # (select your usb flash drive - careful as formatting will be involved don't cry if you wipe clean your pr0n stach)
Convert GPT
SELECT PARTITION (in this case is only 1 partition, however as this can be for drives in general, you can add the lartition # by sending LIST PARTITION and then select th proper #)
FORMAT FS=FAT32 QUICK (of course you can also choose NTFS but the secure boot will not work --- could be wrong)
ASSIGN (use this only if the newly formatted drive does not appear in (My) Computer)
EXIT (will exit diskpart but leave the CMD window open)
Step 2. Load win 7 into your dvd
Step 3. Now go back to cmd if you left it open or reopen a new cmd (run the CMD as admin)
Type the following:
cd D: (whatever letter your cd/dvd drive is assigned - it can be virtual don't matter, if you open the ISO with winzip extract all in 1 folder)
CD BOOT (go to the folder BOOT on the rom media)
BOOTSECT.EXE /NT60 J: (J = usb flash drive in this case)
now that is done go copy all the files from the ISO to the USB drive but if you can remember this command (I almost never do- use it)
XCOPY D:\*.* J:\ /E /F /H (where D = media drive, but if you copy from folder better cd your way to it and use *.* and J is the USB drive ... all other stuff don't care much)

Lucifer's Court: A Heretic's Journey in Search of the Light Bringers, by Otto Rahn, translated by Christopher Jones
Inner Traditions, 9781594771972, 242 pp. (incl. bibliography and translator's bibliography), 2004, 2008
Otto Rahn (1904-1939) was a German medievalist. His Crusade Against the Grail (1933) "attracted the attention of Karl Maria Wiligut, better known as Weisthor Heinrich Himmler's esoteric "lord" of runology". In 1936 Rahn formally entered the SS, attached to Weisthor's department. Denounced for possible Jewish heritage and homosexual behaviour, Rahn committed suicide in March 1939.

Of Course a Decision Striking Down the ACA Would Be "Judicial Activism"
Orin Kerr outlines a five-part test for whether a decision can be called "judicial activism" as a means of assessing whether the label could be fairly applied to a decision striking down the Affordable Care Act. Roughly, the criteria are: 1) whether the decision was motivated by the policy preferences of judges; 2) whether it expands judicial power for future cases; 3) whether it was inconsistent with past precedents; 4) whether it struck down a "law or practice"; and 5) whether the decision was "wrong." On three of the first four criteria, Kerr essentially agrees that a decision striking down the ACA would be "activist." On points No. 3 and No. 4, he concedes explicitly (while arguing, plausibly enough, that No. 4 isn't a useful criterion in a country with firmly established judicial review). On No. 1, he all but concedes, arguing that "if the votes line up in the predictable political way, then claims of activism based on argument #1 will be common." Given this, we can go ahead and just say that the decision would be "activist" on this basis—if there are more than five votes for a decision striking down the ACA, I pledge now to donate $100 to the Federalist Society in Professor Kerr's name. And while there may be some cases where it would be hard to "know with any certainty what the Justices subjectively wanted," given the oral arguments in this case I think we can make some pretty safe guesses. One crucial and important point of disagreement I would have with Kerr would be on point No. 2:
As for meaning #2, I think accusations that a decision striking down the mandate would be activist in the #2 sense would be pretty weak, at least assuming the decision tracked the arguments made by the challengers. The main reason is that the argument made by the challengers would be very easily circumvented in a future case. The challengers agree that a future Congress could reenact the same law simply by clearly labeling it a tax, or by structuring the law as an entitlement. As a result, the challenge to the mandate isn't making it impossible to enact health care reform: It's merely trying to invalidate the one way that Congress happened to have enacted health care reform, without blocking others.
I have one minor and one major objection here. The minor one is that I'm not convinced that a decision based on the "inactivity" distinction could be cabined quite as easily as Kerr assumes; the signal from the Supreme Court that it will start scrutinizing economic regulations in a way it hasn't since the New Deal could well have broader effects. But even if we assume that this ticket will prove to be good for that day and train only, I have a bigger problem with No. 2, which ignores how congressional power actually works in the current system. Since control of any veto point is enough to stop Congress from acting, to say that Congress could just pursue the same goals by tweaking the system is highly misleading; this would be practically impossible for the foreseeable future. And since the liberty interest involved is ipso facto trivial (if Congress could pursue the same ends by enforcing the mandate as a "tax" rather than a "penalty," how serious can the invasion of state sovereignty or individual freedom be?), this is exactly why striking down the ACA on these kinds of grounds would be so disturbing.
There is another side to this—the fact that the coalition that passed the ACA could not be reassembled anytime soon is one reason that I think the Court could strike down the ACA with little threat to its legitimacy. But this is a political warrant for judicial activism, not an argument that the Court wouldn't be engaged in judicial activism. So I think that the only way the a decision striking down the ACA wouldn't be "activist" would be under criterion No. 5—the argument that no decision that one agrees with can be "activist." Since, as Kerr implies, this standard is worthlessly tautological, it doesn't get you very far. Which brings us to the other question: Particularly since the fifth criterion is the one most popularly used, is there any real value to the term "judicial activism" anymore? Kerr argues that abandoning the term would be "unjustified"; I'm less convinced. But to the extent the term is meaningful, a decision striking down the ACA would be "activist" in the sense if the term is at all meaningful. The only question is whether this activism is justifiable.

Of course , it is an OUTRAGE to expect the justices to READ THE LAW they plan to opine on! Onerous and unacceptable to those like Scalia and roberts!
Additionally, we are to believe that the justices are non-partisan when their examples in argument are right wing talking points!??

A few points about judicial conservatism, especially since people as ostensibly well informed about constitutional controversies as the president seem unfamiliar with the basics. The first is that the accusation of judicial activism presupposed a baseline of what constitutes constitutional fidelity. In the paradigmatic case of the term's usage, a judge is accused of departing from this baseline in order to strike down a law that is compatible with the Constitution but that the judge opposes because it offends his sense of justice or sound public outcry
Sat, 2012-04-14 20:14
I heard a pod cast on the New Yorker's The Political Scene that began with a recording of Scalia saying:
"There is no way that this court's decision is not going to distort the congressional process. Whether we strike it all down or leave some of it in place, the congressional process wll never be the same".
The podcast, which was a discussion of the Court and the ACA, did not mention the quote at all. I would love to hear comments on it. It certainly sounds as if he, for one, has his mind made up already, but what exactly did he mean about the congressional process changing?

Thu, 2012-04-19 00:33
I do think they will strike down the mandate part and might decide to strike the entire ACA down. It seems they were only arguing one part of the law, but from some of the comments I think it is in danger.
I for one hope it will be all struck down. It will give the Democrats a chance to call for Medicare to be open to all. Will any of them be that brave and call for a single payer system to be expanded to cover anyone who wants it? They can then let the private health insurance companies do as they please.

I'm ok with ML (rMBP 15"). It's my fist Mac though, so I never used SL. No performance or stability issues so far. It's fast and responsive, and no kernel panic since august (never had any in fact)

Its so weird that people have such issues with ML. I find that it just flies on my mid-2009 MBP. I don't necessarily find it any faster or slower than Snow Leopard though.
Can't say I blame you. If ML was lagging on my computer I would probably revert back to Snow Leopard too!
If you still have ML and still having lagging issues try this: create a new user profile and log into it. On OS X Lion I had something corrupt in my profile. After troubleshooting it for awhile, my wife logged in and was using my MBP and I noticed it wasn't lagging when she was logged in. I created a profile, and sure enough everything was "buttery smooth" (to steal lingo from the android fans...). Just created a new profile and migrated my files and stuff over to it, then deleted the original.
Worth a shot, but if you have already loaded SL back onto your computer and are happy with it just stick with that. I like full screen modes and reminders. Don't really care for the notifications center or the messages app in ML.
Posted 11 December 2012 - 01:37
never really cared for that Messenger app on ML. It has never really worked well since day 1. It sucks.

Hey all.
Being an aussie from victoria, where the game originated from it makes sense i love this game. playing it, even if at amature level is so much fun and i would always walk off the field sore
so for those of you who dont know what aussie rules footy is, well let me try and explain.
first of all we play on an oval so its not square like soccer, rugby, american football.
There are no set dimensions for the playing surface, although the recommended size is 150 to 185 metres (164 to 202 yards) in length and 130 to 150 metres (142 to 164 yards) in width.
There are 18 players on the ground from each team for a total of 36 players. Each team has a further 3 players on the bench and 1 substitute. The 3 players on the bench can be rotated onto the field as many times as the team wishes similar to basketball. The substitute player must sit out of the game and can be activated to join the team in exchange for one player being removed from the game. Once this player joins the ground he can be rotated on and off the ground as freely as the team wishes. The player who was substituted off the ground may not rejoin the game (similar to soccer) This new substitute position is new in 2011 and makes learning the rules even more complicated for people new to the game. For more information on the positions:
AFL Positions @ Wikipedia
now.. we dont play with a round ball, we play with a ball similar to that of rugby or american football.
how to pass to a team mate:
kicking the ball is the primary way to dispose of the ball to a team mate. this is done by dropping the ball from you hands and kicking it in mid air. seems easy enough but it takes a lot of skill to kick that shape ball 60meters onto the chest of your team mate. the ball should spin end over end and not wobble in the air.
after a player kicks the ball if another player from either team catches the ball it is called a mark. this allows the play to take his time with the kick and not worry about being tackled. here is the kind of makr u can expect to see.
hand passing (handball) the ball is where you have the ball in one hand and with a closed first hit the ball with your other hand to send it in the direction of your team mate. typically you will do this so that the ball spins end over end.
How to score:
first here is an image of the goals (obviously not real image) there is a painted line joining the sticks on the ground as well as a boundary line around the entire ground
please note these goal posts are actually very large.. this image does not do it justice, lol
Goal = 6points
A goal is scored when a player kicks the ball through the big middle 2 posts. if he can achieve this without any1 else touching the ball he will score 6 points
Behind = 1 Point
A behind is scored when i player kick the ball between a bick and small posts, that is not through the middle 2. i behind can also be scored it some1 touches the ball b4 it crosses the line after being kicked. when this happens it doesnt matter if it goes through the 2 big posts it will still register a behind. if the ball crosses the line in any way other than being kicked it will register a behind, 1 point.
how play continues after this...
when a goal is scored the ball is taken to the centre of the ground and there is a basketball like jump between the 2 teams but they run up and jump.. not stand still.
when a behind is scored the opposition team kicks it out form the goal, just like soccer but they kick the ball always from their hands.
there are many rules.. far too many to explain here.
i will point out this is a contact sport and that is what makes it great fun. if you want to find out more please visit these sites:
Official Australia Football League Website
believe it or not our code of football is played in around 61 countries.. so check out this site and get involved if you find this sport interesting. hopefully there is a developing league near where you live. remember that only australia has the professional league of this sport and other countries are at a very amature level at this stage. but still great fun
Internation Australian Football Council
Finally a HUGE mark:
any questions, comments please do reply
