TurpsterVision: Hands on with Chen Stormstout
So it's Black Friday for a lot of you guys out there -- Happy Thanksgiving for yesterday and yes, my Turkey was awesome thanks for asking! A day for picking up electrical bargains and stopping The Intersect falling into Fulcrum's hands -- I'll be honest, my knowledge of Black Friday stems pretty much directly from episodes of Chuck. I was lucky enough to have my latest purchase come through today and I am super stoked to be able to show you guys, Chen Stormstout!
This guys is many kinds of huge -- some say he looks like a fat Gene Simmons, I don't see that being a bad thing since The Demon is also pretty awesome (though he's no Starchild). Standing over 8" tall and weighing in at 4.5 lbs, this guy is built to impress. The detailing is beyond anything I've seen on my previous DC Unlimited figures.
Enjoy the video and pick one up if you haven't already -- I wonder how much mine is worth now that it's out of the box...

Celebrating 90 Years Young
June Masek has been taking the GSU water aerobics class for more than 30 years. Next Monday, October 20, she and fellow students will celebrate her 90th birthday with a lunch at Carlos Restaurant.
June says she looks at the water aerobics class as a job. Instead of pay, she gets good health. "She is the heart and leader of the class. One day we did 200 jumping jacks and she initiated 100. Oh, was she happy. She is our inspiration," said friend and fellow classmate Ruby Norton. The GSU Total Water Exercise class, as it's now called, is taught Monday through Friday from 10 to 11 a.m. in the GSU pool. The fee is $25.
"We have all ages in this class. We have some new freshmen and, of course, now up to age 90," added Ruby. For more information, stop by the Recreation and Fitness Center Sales Office at A1106 or call 708.534.4556.
New Student Programs: How's it going?
New Student Programs would like to know how the first semester at GSU is going for our new undergraduate students and how support for them can be improved. As part of this initiative, a survey is being conducted among new undergraduates about their early experiences at GSU. While this might be a busy time of year, the hope is that students will take a few minutes to participate in this brief survey.
The survey will focus on experiences with orientation, academic advising, student involvement and other areas that are critical for academic progress. The survey has been sent to new students' GSU email addresses and will be available until Friday, October 17, 2014.
Opening Soon: A New Way to Get to GSU
Get your I-PASS
The long awaited interchange to connect the Tri-State Tollway, or I-294, and I-57 is set to open this month. The new interchange will be all-electronic, with no cash accepted. You must have an I-PASS to use the interchange.
According to the Illinois Tollway Authority:
Customers who use the I-294/I-57 Interchange without I-PASS will have 30 days from the date of their unpaid toll to pay online – up from seven days on all other parts of the tollway system. This extended, limited-time offer will expire on December 31, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, customers without I-PASS who use the I-294/I-57 Interchange will have seven days to pay their unpaid tolls.
The regular toll rate will be $1.50 for customers who pay their unpaid tolls online with a discounted I-PASS rate of 75 cents. Tollway customers who would like to pay cash to travel between I-294 and I-57 can still do so at the 159th Street Ramp Toll Plaza (40) or via the 163rd Street Toll Plaza (41) – these are the routes being used today.
For added convenience, the Tollway is opening a new temporary Customer Service Center at the Secretary of State Office in Midlothian, 14434 South Pulaski Road, from September through November 2014. This three-month satellite center located in the heart of the Chicago Southland will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, and is intended to serve local residents who wish to obtain I-PASS, pay their unpaid tolls and receive other assistance.
For more information about how to obtain an I-PASS go to: http://www.illinoistollway.com/tolls-and-i-pass/about-i-pass.

A stemware cabinet behind the TV, stacking tables hidden in an ottoman and a Murphy bed all help to make a 325 square foot model apartment seem roomy at an exhibit called "Making Room: Models for Housing New Yorkers" at the Museum of the City of New York in New York, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013. The exhibit grew out of the city's PlaNYC, which projected the city's population will grow by about 600,000 people by 2030. (AP Photo/Seth Wenig)
NEW YORK (AP) — Sam Neuman jokes that he doesn't casually throw off his coat when he gets home at night — it would take up half his apartment.Such is life in his walk-up studio a few blocks from Manhattan's bustling Times Square, which at 280 square feet is barely the size of a one-car garage, with just enough space for a bed, a desk, a TV stand on one wall and a kitchen against the other."I've developed this weird Stockholm Syndrome, which you identify with your captors," said the 31-year-old publicist. "When I go to other people's apartments, I think, 'Why do they need more than one bedroom?' I'm really very happy here. There's not really time to let things accumulate because ... where would I put them?"The Big Apple is legendary for its legions of residents who live in really, really small apartments. Many of them are fiercely proud of it and can even find the humor in their cramped quarters. Now the city is about to see just how small New Yorkers are willing to go.With the population and rents expected to keep climbing, New York City planners are challenging architects to design ways to make it tolerable — even comfortable — to live in dwellings from 350 square feet to as small as 250 square feet.The city wants to incorporate those designs into an apartment complex to be built on Manhattan's east side next year featuring mostly "micro units." The aim is to offer more such tiny apartments throughout the city as affordable options for the young singles, cash-poor and empty nesters who are increasingly edged out of the nation's most expensive real-estate market.If the pilot program is successful, New York could ultimately overturn a requirement established in 1987 that all new apartments be at least 400 square feet. Smaller living is a concept already endorsed by some cities. San Francisco recently approved construction of apartments as small as 220 square feet. And Tokyo and Hong Kong have long offered tiny units.As a way to get New Yorkers to think small, the Museum of the City of New York is opening an exhibit Wednesday featuring a fully furnished 325-square-foot studio apartment that incorporates the latest space-saving designs. There's the bed that folds out over a couch, a padded ottoman containing four nesting chairs, a fold-out dinette table tucked neatly under the kitchen counter and a TV that slides away to reveal a bar.Neuman was amazed at how much more spacious and airy the demonstration apartment felt than his own flat."If they hooked up the cable and plumbing, I'd move in tomorrow," Neuman said during a walk-through of the exhibit with a reporter. "You could actually have a cocktail party in there without it feeling like the subway at rush hour."Other amenities in the 12-foot-by-24-foot model include a cute bathroom that is 5 feet 9 inches by 7 feet 9 inches, a refrigerator and separate freezer tucked under the counter, and the holy grail of New York apartments, a dishwasher. The Murphy bed, like most of the features, glides out with only a light touch of the hand.

5 Mind Alteringmarkl72 | 31/07/2007 | See all markl72's reviews (9)I picked this book up before I went on holiday this year and almost didn't read it. I'm so glad I did! I started it at 8.30 in the evening and only stopped reading it at 1.30 in the morning when I had completed it!! I just couldn't stop reading it. I have never read anything quite like this before and the author has a real gift in being able to tell the story in the way that he did. It really blew my mind away in parts - not that there's much to blow away I'll admit - and I was baffled at how much research was needed for some of the diagrams etc. This is a real gem of a book well worth the time!
5 Extremely good readxPinkyx | 19/07/2007 | See all xPinkyx's reviews (5)Extremely good read... This book is a unique insight into Asperger's syndrome... There is a clear plot apparent from the first page with a twist... Obviously it is just the tip of the iceburg for understanding the complexity yet simplicty of Asperger's... Funny yet touching.
5 Recommended Recommendationfbly87 | 16/07/2007 | See all fbly87's reviews (2)I was recommended this read by my GCSE maths teacher a few years ago. He spent a while telling the class about it and he really sold it to me.When I came to read the book I was not disappointed. I never knew much about Autism, or Aspergers. This book is a complete eye-opener; narrated from the point of view of the young boy who is the sufferer it paints a clear picture of what exactly Aspergers is, and is very easy to digest.It is one of those books that you cannot put down and simultaneously do not want to finish. Once I had finished it, I couldn't start another for a while, I just wanted to keep its taste in my mouth a little bit longer!A very insightful, vicarious read.
5 Short but compelling read1AndOwnLeee | 01/09/2008 | See all 1AndOwnLeee's reviews (2)I brought this book offhand not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised because this book is brilliant. The curious incident of a dog in the night-time is a compelling and insightful look into the world of a boy with Asperger syndrome. The story is told in first person narration taking you on a personal journey, full of twist and turns. The book is moving, funny, bewildering at times and eye opening but most importantly a great read. It's an easy read not a strain on the brain, perfect for a lazy afternoon. I finished it in a couple of hours.
5 Eye OpeningBoocolate | 25/06/2007 | See all Boocolate's reviews (6)working with young people with Aspergers syndrome, i thoroughly reccomend this book for all people who's life may be affected directly or indirectly by this condition. Haddon paints a realistic and easy to understand insight into the thoughts and feelings of someone with Aspergers. Make sure you allow plenty of time when first opening this book - You will NOT be able to put it down!! Fabulous and a must have read.

Subject: Archbishop recants apology over sex abuse....i.e. the Vatican practices
pedophilia and wealth accumulation while preaching the opposite, nice deception
to hide one's dirt!
By Steve M., No More Mister Nice Blog
Posted on February 8, 2012
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/?i ... g_wrong%22
http://www.alternet.org/newsandviews/?i ... g_wrong%22
Who's the worst person in the world? Right now I'd have to say it's this guy:
In 2002, at the height of the outcry over the sexual abuse of minors by Roman
Catholic priests, the Archbishop of New York, Edward M. Egan, issued a letter to
be read at Mass.
In it, he offered an apology about the church's handling of sex-abuse cases in
New York and in Bridgeport, Conn., where he was previously posted....
Now, 10 years later and in retirement, Cardinal Egan has taken back his apology.
In a interview with Connecticut magazine published on the magazine's Web site
last week, a surprisingly frank Cardinal Egan said of the apology,
"I never should have said that," and added, "I don't think we did anything
He said many more things in the interview, some of them seemingly at odds with
the facts.
He repeatedly denied that any sex abuse had occurred on his watch in Bridgeport.
He said that even now, the church in Connecticut had no obligation to report
sexual abuse accusations to the authorities. (A law on the books since the 1970s
says otherwise.)
And he described the Bridgeport diocese's handling of sex-abuse cases as
"incredibly good." ...
That's from Andy Newman at The New York Times, who's clearly trying to find a
judicious, objective-sounding way of telling us that Cardinal Egan is a lying,
evil SOB.
Go to the Connecticut magazine interview and you'll see that same point being
made by interviewer Tom Connor with no punches pulled:
Ten years ago this spring, the sexual abuse crisis involving hundreds of Roman
Catholic priests and thousands of young victims broke nationally in the media,
engulfing dioceses from Boston to Los Angeles but also the Diocese of
Bridgeport, where 23 lawsuits against seven local priests were working their way
through the courts.
Three years earlier, however, this magazine had reported on long-standing and
widespread abuses in the diocese ("Gods and Monsters,"May 1999; link opens a
.pdf of the original story), then under the leadership of Bishop Edward Egan.
In that article, Egan was portrayed as a wily, coldly-calculating defender of
the Church and abusive priests, more corporate lawyer than spiritual guardian.
The article revealed that he had let accused priests continue to work in local
parishes, authorized payments to victims in exchange for silence agreements, and
lied about those payments during a deposition....
And that indignation extends to the interview, as it appears on the site.
Here's the cardinal claiming he just cleaned up his predecessor's mess, and did
it so skillfully there were no further incidents -- which turns out not to be
quite accurate:
EGAN: You know, I never had one of these sex abuse cases, either in Bridgeport
or here (New York). Not one.... I took care of them one by one. None of them did
anything wrong. One of them spent four years in treatment at the Institute of
Living in Hartford.
I investigated this and at the end I put him in a convent as an assistant
chaplain in Danbury. Only once did I not use the Institute of the Living -- I
used Johns Hopkins because the man was in Baltimore.
CT Magazine: You mean Laurence Brett (a serial molester who was cycled through
eight parishes in the diocese and a family of ten in California before
relocating to Maryland, where he was accused of abusing more boys.
He was still on the run from the FBI when he died in the Caribbean in 2010).
EGAN: Yep. I sent him to the most expensive place and I did exactly what we were
told to do. And as a result, not one of them (the accused priests) did a thing
out of line....
The interview is all like that: Egan claiming nothing bad happened on his watch,
arrogantly denying any responsibility for suffering, whining about the fact that
people still ask him about this, and displaying not an ounce of compassion or
empathy for the victims.
Oh, and did I mention this?
Leslie Lothstein ... a psychologist at the Institute of Living, in Hartford, has
treated about 300 Roman Catholic priests, not only those with sexual problems,
but also those with alcoholism, depression and other mental illnesses....
He unwittingly found himself in the news almost 10 years ago, when it was
reported that the Catholic Church had sent priests to the Institute of Living
for treatment without always telling the doctors the full details of the
priests' transgressions....
What's more, the Catholic hierarchy often ignored the institute's
recommendations about the priests' fitness for service.
"I found that they rarely followed our recommendations," Dr. Lothstein told The
Hartford Courant in 2002.
"They would put them back into work where they still had access to vulnerable
populations." ...
And these priests are the people who lecture us about morality because we
support abortion rights, or gay marriage, or full access to birth control.

Monday, March 25, 2013
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Dr. Helen Boylan, Westminster associate professor of chemistry presented research at the U.S. EPA Hydraulic Fracturing Research Technical Workshop on Analytical Chemical Methods in Raleigh, N.C., in February.
Boylan presented "Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for Rapid Monitoring of Metals in Produced Water and its Precipitates." The work is a result of a collaborative undergraduate research project involving chemistry major Danielle Murtagh. The presentation also featured results from other undergraduate chemistry majors doing research on hydraulic fracturing with Boylan, including Lance Jubic, Brittany Majors, Gavin Steadman and Tyler Umstead.
Murtagh, a senior, is a daughter of Timothy Murtagh and a graduate of Mars Area High School.
Jubic, a junior biochemistry and molecular biology major, is a son of Gregory and Mary Jubic of Leechburg and a graduate of Kiski Area High School.
Majors, a sophomore, is a daughter of Mark and Debbie Majors of Wampum and a graduate of Lincoln High School.
Steadman, a senior, is a son of Jerry and Wanda Steadman and a graduate of Corry Area High School.
Umstead, a junior, is a son of Daniel Umstead of Butler and a graduate of Slippery Rock Area High School.
Approximately 50 professionals attended the workshop, including scientists from oil and gas companies, analytical industries, academia and government. The goal of the workshop was to bring experts together to discuss the challenges and real-world scenarios experienced with the chemical analysis of water associated with hydraulic fracturing. The workshop included short oral presentations, a poster presentation, and a significant amount of discussion about key topics related to that goal.
Boylan also was invited to present her research at the College of Wooster. She presented "Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: Challenges and Applications in Frack Water Treatment" for the chemistry department's seminar program in January.
Boylan, a Westminster graduate who joined the faculty in 2001, earned a Ph.D. from Duquesne University.
Contact Boylan at (724) 946-6293 or email firstname.lastname@example.com for additional information.

The Bogner Blue's have gotten killer reviews...more so than the Red's...that said between my current amps and pedals I really don't have as much gas for these as I thought I would. Still wouldn't mind picking up a blue though.

I have to agree with a lot here. You cannot go wrong with a Tubescreamer.
If you do pick one up, I can help you convert it to bypass DIY. I also have most of the PDFs for the guitarworld interviews they did with Robert Keeley where he give up some of the mods and how to do them.
Wampler Paisley Drive
Sky Blue Overdrive
I have way too many OD pedals...I've decided on three at the moment. I love the Fulltone stuff, but my Boss OD-3 (yes, a Boss pedal) just sounds so sweet!
OCD is my favorite ever. Will never get rid of that pedal.
That said, my next pedal will be a lovepedal Kalamazoo gold. The clips I've seen are stunning.

Keeley. Sd1, tube screamer also the keeley overdrive pedal
I just picked up a Tc Electronics Mojo overdrive, love it and didn't break the bank.
I use :
Boss Metal Zone
Keeley fuzz head
Tc Electronics Mojo
^^ James, the TC Electronic Mojo Mojo Overdrive was the one I was gonna recommend... Very tasty tones from that one!!!
My personal favs...
Wampler Pinnacle Deluxe (just a great sounding box)
Suhr Riot
Analogman King of Tone (amazing pedal - worth the waitlist)
Analogman TS variant. OD-9 Silver w/ KWS (less drive, better tone than TS)
Fulltone PlimSoul works pretty well for me on the clean channel of my Fender Super Sonic 22 which is close to your DRRI. I also have a Gearmandude version of an 808 tube screamer which I love for medium OD stuff or to put put me over the top on channel 2. I'd also recommend the Xotic BB plus. That will allow you to set up a couple of different tones at in the same pedal which would give you more flexibility from just one pedal.
Gear: Fender, PRS, Orange, Budda
Visual Sound does a great version of the 808, and you can get it in tandem with a marshally drive with the Jeckyll and Hyde, or with a compressor. Or alone. Or 2 in 1 in the double trouble if you really want to have some fun.
-I'm no expert, but it seems to work and I haven't electrocuted myself yet. Which is pretty much the standard I live by.
S2 Custom 22 Semi-Hollow - SE Akesson+57/08's - SE Custom 24 25th Anniversary - SE 30 Head/Cab
I do... in fact I have 2. If you can find an old silver V1, the distortion side sounds much more like a Recto, and the TS side is really smooth and the overdrive sounds incredible, despite having less gain and boost on tap. The newest version is more Marshall like in the distortion, and the TS side still sounds fantastic, with lots more gain and volume boost. And then somehow I won an online giveaway from VS for a Double Trouble. Not that I needed it, but it's actually getting a lot of use on my board with the V2 J&H. I keep the V1 as an old favorite. Anyways, if I could only have 1 drive pedal from my current collection, the J&H would be the one.

S2 Custom 22 Semi-Hollow - SE Akesson+57/08's - SE Custom 24 25th Anniversary - SE 30 Head/Cab
Providence Flame Drive
I also want to try the Fulltone Plimsoul and especially the Bogner Blue.
2Tek'd to the MAX
so I posted this in another thread but it applies here...this is my current pedal board...I swap in or out the rm fuzz and the plextortion,,,,I was using those stand alone which is why they are currently off the board as opposed to being bumped from the board.
thought it could give some of you ideas....I've looked high and low for great pedals...the distortions, drives, boosts and fuzzes I use are the result of my search to date.
ETHOS TLE OVERDRIVE sounds like a DUMBLE amp,for a lot less dough!! It has a very broad range of tones to select from. Also, the GOLDEN CELLO at guitar center is a cost effective alternative. It combines a delay & overdrive in one small pedal. GOOD LUCK--- THE GAS NEVER STOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One more thing! when you wear out the pedal quest;cut to the chase scene and purchase an AXE EFFECTS 2 and sell all your pedals to pay for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since the days of the Republic, Texas has always supported her veterans in return for their military service. In the early days, it was in the form of land given by the state for military service in the Texas Revolution. In 1946, this tradition was formally recognized with the creation of the Texas Veterans Land Board (VLB) to administer benefits exclusively for Texas veterans. Since then, more than 200,000 VLB loans have been funded for Texas veterans.
For over half a century, the VLB has been keeping the promise to serve Texas veterans, for life.
Land Loans
The foundation of the VLB is to help Texan veterans buy their piece of Texas with low-interest, long-term land loans. Learn More
Home Loans
In 1983, the Legislature created the Veterans Housing Assistance Program to help Texas veterans buy homes with special, low-interest loans for home purchase. Texas voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment authorizing the issuance of bonds to fund the program. Learn More
Home Improvement Loans
In 1986, the VLB expanded the Veterans Housing Assistance Program, adding the Veterans Home Improvement Program to provide below-market interest rate loans to qualified Texas veterans for home repairs and improvements to their existing homes. Learn More
State Veterans Homes
In 1997, the Texas Legislature passed a law authorizing the Texas State Veterans Home program to provide long-term care services for Texas veterans. Since 2001, the VLB has built eight Texas State Veterans Homes, which offer long-term, skilled-nursing care for veterans. The homes are located in Amarillo, Big Spring, Bonham, El Paso, Floresville, McAllen, Temple, and Tyler. Learn More
State Veterans Cemeteries
In 2006, to augment the federal veterans cemeteries and allow veterans to be buried closer to home and family, the VLB opened the state's first Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen, followed by state veterans cemeteries in Mission, Abilene, and Corpus Christi. Learn More
Come see us!
The VLB conducts Texas veterans benefit fairs across the state to help veterans better understand their benefits. Free and open to the public, the benefit fairs are co-sponsored by the Texas Veterans Commission. Learn More
Have a story to tell?
The VLB Voices of VeteransTM oral history program interviews Texas veterans from all eras and all conflicts to save their stories of dedication, courage and sacrifice for future generations. Please visit the Voices of Veterans website to listen to these stories or for more information. Learn More

Fourty years old, Still single, & no kids!
Oh, dear, Prince Charming, where are you? Beats me! Think I've been watching too many romantic comedy movies lately!
Oh, dear, Prince Charming, where are you? Beats me! Think I've been watching too many romantic comedy movies lately!
Not to self-promote, but I just blogged about this.
Stay strong, and have faith! I know it seems impossible, but God has a plan!
Hey Jennifer, I am not in me lower 20's. I understand from where you are coming. I recently read a good book for ladies such as you and I called "The Closet is All Mine." The book was came from a a lady in a similar situation as you and I who had a blog and compiled them into a book. Check it out.
me too jennifer. we all have our stories as to why? I am embracing this single life now because it's better than being tied down in a miserable relationship that was going no where but down. i broke free..now the next time around, I will remember the mistakes and i will not repeat them. i had poor sense of judgement. bottom line-i gave my heart to the wrong persons. but my heart is now open to love again and I'm having the grace of patience by my side. i pray. and i will say a prayer for you too. your friend on CM, Linda
I feel for you. Although I am not 40 I worry about being 40 and being in your shoes. But, here is what I would tell myself if I was in your shoes: don't put your life on hold waiting for Mr. Right. Try and go about your life the way you want to and with the blessings God has equipped you with. Travel. Make new friends. Try new foods. See new movies. Whatever it is that entices you--do it! If you want children, biologically speaking you are still able. However, if you are very serious about having kids, maybe adoption is a good option for you? There are a lot of children who need a good home--especially a good Catholic home. I will pray for you and that God will give you direction.God bless!
Jennifer, I know what you mean. I just turned 39, and I'm like having a reality check....I'm gonna 40 next year!! I feel like my bio-clock is ticking, and it feels like I'm running out of time. I keep praying to God that I need a man in my life who I can share the love that Jesus has given me. I need a man who I can go to church with...and go to church functions with. I wanna share my faith with that special guy. I guess I should just have faith that God does have plan for me. I just ask God...show me the way.
Thanks to both Tiffany & Susan! Knowing that you ladies feel similar to me, means a lot. I do tend to become upset because I see so many other people have spouses, children, & other things that I'd like to have too, but don't. I know it's wrong also for me to covet what my neighbors have, & that's not something God wants me to do, but I often wonder why God chooses to bless people in different ways.

4 Great!!...but repetitiveSkrtelboy | 09/07/2012 | See all Skrtelboy's reviews (38)I'm a big fan of the first prototype game and had an amazing amount of joyment out of it, however it did end up very repetitive and i stopped playing it, with the occassional time should i get bored of the other games i own. So I was hoping they would learn of this mistake for this game...it didnt.Yes Prototype 2 has a wide range of new enemies, the abilities are limited this time round and the gameplay is just as repetitive as the last game. But it still is enjoyable, limit the amount you play it or otherwise you'll beat the game quickly, you'll lose your enthusiasm for the game and you'll just completely give up on playing it.I got the game primarily out of the fact that you had to beat the vigilante from the first game Alex Mercer, but even when there was a climax to the ending mission it just didnt feel like there was anything there to ignite my spark for excitement or to ignite the grudge between the two lead characters. Also the last mission is the only real test of the game, the other missions were far to easy for my liking, and then this final fight seemed to upgrade in difficulty.The makers of Prototype should have learnt a lesson from the makers of Assassins creed and there evolvement of assassins creed 2, it wasnt repetitive, had a great story, and most of all it was enjoyable throughout the entire of the game.This game still beats infamous anyday, but the makers need to improve on the third game (fingers crossed) because there is too much repetitivity within the two games.Verdict:Prototype 2 has a great premise ready for the third game, however it did not learn from mistakes. The game is reasonably enjoyable, has enough of a storyline, great gameplay and controls.Prototype: 7/10Prototype 2: 7/10I suggest you stick with the first prototype as you gain more out of it, but thats just a suggestion. Or at least wait until the price for the game drops because it really isn't worth 24.99.
4 Fun but for how long!!!!!Gamesreviewed | 28/04/2012 | See all Gamesreviewed's reviews (1)I was thrilled when I heard Activision where releasing prototype 2 and with the trailer looking as awesome as the soundtrack I was Evan more buzzing for the release date Ive been playing prototype 2 for a few days now so ill try and sum up a few key points The storyline What I no so far anyway those of you who played prototype 1 will no the basics The character Alex mercer who gets infected with some sort of virus and then is on a hunt to find his girlfriend bla bla bla. Well not to give away too much prototype 2 starts with the new main character James Heller being infected my Alex mercer to show him the truth off black watch so you can both hunt them down and show everyone the truth of the plague and clear your names This presents the main objective off the game The gameplay once again is a sandbox game with the freedom to jump glide and run across a large variety of 3 different islands If your like me and find the simple things in life amusing then you will spend a lot of your first few hours on this game running up walls and jumping off tall buildings Its awesome The fighting has improved since the last game with a whole load of new weapons and upgrades at your disposal and all very simple to use with a very good tutorial on how to use each power/weapon The only negative I have so far is that I worry it might get a tad repetitive as the side quests seem not to change and most of the ways to get the upgrades is through these mini missions I also find the new sneak attack system can get very irritating when you have to sneak attack a large group But like I said I have only played this game a few days now and there is still so much more to do and unlock.
5 AWESOME!!Stan1712 | 15/08/2012 | See all Stan1712's reviews (15)So much better than the first! So much more you can do, so addictive! A must have!!!
5 A Must Buy!Nowtleft | 01/05/2012 | See all Nowtleft's reviews (11)Brilliant! I can't stop playing this game, good story with superb power upgrades and ability to cause mayhem! The Radnet thingy really adds something new every few days and the desire to try again for a Gold award is compelling. I can' keep off it...buy it now!
4 Very good and very up to dateDboy3101 | 24/05/2012 | See all Dboy3101's reviews (5)Very good game very good story only three things I found that let it down a bit. 1-the voice of Alex mercer (the guy you play as in e original) is not the same voice from the first game. The sonar hunt system can be confusing at times And James heller (main character) is very slow to start off with and this can become annoying at first. Apart from these 3 small issues the game is very well thought out and very modern, still stays true to the original. All in all a must buy if you've played the first one.

Harrison's writing is full of the messy contradictions of life. It is raunchy, uninhibited, and exquisitely sensitive. Nature and humanity, youth and age, love and appetite and their inextricable tensions are both mundane and transporting. Harrison is an American classic who deserves his place alongside Hemingway and Faulkner." - Sara, VP of Book Purchasing and Promotions

Honey Bees and Malaria
You don't usually see "honey bees" and "malaria" in the same sentence.
That won't be the case, though, when Joseph DeRisi, a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator and professor and vice chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, University of California, San Francisco, comes to the UC Davis campus to lecture on Monday, Jan. 9.
His presentation, "A Seminar in Two Acts: Honey Bees and Malaria," is from 10 to 11 a.m. in the main auditorium (Room 2005) of the Genome and Biomedical Sciences Facility.
The seminar, open to all interested persons, is sponsored by the Biological Networks Focus Group of the Genome Center. Host is Oliver Fiehn, professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology and the Genome Center.
DeRisi, a molecular biologist and biochemist, was named the recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Grant (also known as "the genius award") in 2004. In 2008, DeRisi won the Heinz Award for Technology, the Economy and Employment. Among his many accomplishments: he designed and programmed a groundbreaking tool for finding (and fighting) viruses -- the ViroChip, a DNA microarray that test for the presence of all known viruses in one step.
The DeRisi lab drew international attention last year with publications in Public Library of Science journals.

Among those working on the honey bee research and co-authoring the PLoS One paper was insect virus researcher Michelle Flenniken, a postdoctoral fellow in the Raul Andino lab at UC San Francisco and the recipient of the Häagen-Dazs Postdoctoral Fellowship in Honey Bee Biology at UC Davis.
Among DeRisi's collaborators on malaria research is UC Davis molecular biologist Shirley Luckhart, professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and an advisor in the Entomology Graduate Program.
DeRisi, who received his Ph.D. in biochemistry in 1999 from Stanford University, does amazing work.
He's a genius, to be sure.

Tackling Malaria
Those malaria mosquitoes may have met their match--with researchers at the University of California, Davis.
UC Davis entomology doctoral candidate Ashley Horton, recent winner of the 2010 Arthur J. and Dorothy D. Palm Agricultural Scholarship, focuses her research on how mosquitoes transmit malaria.
Horton studies with major professor Shirley Luckhart, professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology and researches how the immune system of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, affects the transmission of the Plasmodium parasite, the causative agent of malaria.
Malaria kills more than a million people a year, primarily in Africa.
"Ashley's work that was recently published in Malaria Journal, together with our co-authors and collaborators Dr. Yoosook Lee and Dr. Gregory Lanzaro, is the first to identify mutations in immune signaling genes that exhibit associations with natural infection with Plasmodium falciparum in field-collected Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in Mali," Luckhart said. "Plasmodium falciparum is the most important human malaria parasite in Africa and this work is necessary as a foundation to assess whether genetic control measures to block transmission of this parasite will be possible in malaria-endemic countries."
The research, titled "Identification of Three Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Anopheles gambiae Immune Signaling Genes that are Associated with Natural Plasmodium falciparum Infection," appears in the June 10, 2010 edition of Malaria Journal.
Horton, who received her bachelor's degree in public health studies at The Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, joined the UC Davis Entomology Graduate Program in 2005. In 2008 she received a William Hazeltine Student Research Fellowship, an award in memory of a noted California entomologist.
The Palm scholarship supplements her fellowship support from a National Institutes of Health T32 training grant that is managed by director Lanzaro and associate director Luckhart.
Arthur Palm, an alumnus of UC Davis, received his bachelor's degree in agricultural economics in 1939. He and his wife established the endowed fund to support undergraduate and graduate students.
The Palm family and others who fund scholarships not only support our university students; they support public health issues.
They, too, are tackling malaria.

Targeting Malaria, Working Toward a.Vaccine
Peter F. Billingsley (right), senior director of Entomology and Quality Systems at Sanaria Inc., Rockville, Md., will speak on "Development of a Mosquito-Derived, Attenuated Whole Parasite Vaccine against Malaria" on Friday, Dec. 3.
His talk--from 12:10 to 1 p.m. in the UC Davis Genome Center Auditorium, 1005 Genome and Biological Sciences Facility, 451 Health Sciences Drive--is part of the UC Davis Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology Seminar Series, "Emerging Challenges in Microbiology and Immunology." It's also affiliated with the UC Davis Department of Entomology fall seminar series.
Host is Shirley Luckhart, associate professor of medical microbiology and immunology, who studies the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae. Luckhart's many roles include serving as a graduate student advisor in the Department of Entomology.
Sanaria? It's a self-described "biotechnology company dedicated to the production of a vaccine protective against malaria caused by the pathogen Plasmodium falciparum."
Billingsley has more than 20 years experience in medical entomology and malaria transmission research. He directed research teams at Imperial College, London, and the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, examining diverse aspects of insect biology related to disease transmission, especially midgut and salivary gland biology, and more recently the molecular physiology of aging in mosquitoes.
Billinglsey, who earned his doctorate at Queen's University in Canada, is a former head (chair) of zoology in the School of Biological Sciences, Aberdeen University.
Since 2006, he has devoted his broad expertise to the unique challenges of developing and deploying a live attenuated Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite vaccine at Sanaria Inc.
Billingsley's talk is generating a lot of interest, as well it should.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), malaria kills more than a million people a year: "In 2008, an estimated 190 - 311 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide and 708,000 - 1,003,000 people died, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa."

Malaria-Proof Mosquito?
Research news coming out of the University of California, Davis and the University of Arizona labs recently drew international attention; the scientists have genetically engineered mosquitoes that are resistant to malaria parasites.
Now one of the co-authors has received a coveted research fellowship from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
who studies with noted malaria researcher and major professor Shirley Luckhart (left), has received a NIH research fellowship aimed to promote diversity in health-related research.
Luckhart is an associate professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, UC Davis School of Medicine, and a graduate student advisor in the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
Drexler, who joined the Luckhart lab in January 2008, focuses her research on the roles of the human blood-derived insulin-like growth factor-1 and the role of insulin signaling in the regulation of malaria parasite transmission by Anopheles mosquitoes.
The UC Davis student is a co-first author of a paper on malaria parasites published July 15, 2010 in the journal Public Library of Science Pathogens (PLOS). Titled "Activation of Akt Signaling Reduces the Prevalence and Intensity of Malaria Parasite Infection and Lifespan in Anopheles stephensi Mosquitoes," the work is a collaborative effort between UC Davis and the University of Arizona.Co-authors include Luckhart and UC Davis researcher Ed Lewis, who has a joint appointment with the Department of Nematology and the Department of Entomology.
The paper, with more than 4200 article views in July alone, has drawn extensive news coverage. BBC science reporter Victoria Gill, in a July 16th article headlined "Malaria-Proof Mosquito Engineered," wrote that the scientists "have succeeded in genetically engineering a malaria-resistant mosquito."
In a July 17th piece, "Malaria-Proof Mosquito Created," ABC News science writer Eric Bland wrote that scientists have created a malaria-proof mosquito by engineering "a genetic 'on switch' that permanently activates a malaria-destroying response."
"If these mosquitoes," Bland wrote, "are successfully introduced into the wild, they could prevent millions of people from becoming infected with life-threatening Plasmodium--the parasite that causes malaria."
Drexler, who grew up in Washington, D.C., received her bachelor's degree in integrative biology, with an emphasis on animal biology, from UC Berkeley in 1999. She earned her master's degree in physiology and behavior from San Francisco State University in 2006.
The competitive NIH fellowships are available to provide funds to qualified students for stipends, research supplies, and research-related travel under an existing parent research grant.
The applications are evaluated on multiple criteria, including career goals, prior research training, research potential and relevant experience, and evidence of educational achievement.
This research is so important: targeting a killer that causes more than a million human deaths a year worldwide.
Malaria Mosquito
'The Treacherous Scent of a Human'
It's a killer, pure and simple.
But the issue is as complex as it comes.
The malaria mosquito, from the genus Anopheles, infects some 350 to 500 million people a year, killing more than a million. Most are young children in sub-Saharan Africa.
Female mosquitoes "bite" because they require a blood meal to develop their eggs. They detect their prey via olfactory receptor neurons found on their antennae, the insect equivalent to the human "nose."
When Anopheline mosquitoes are infected with a parasite that causes malaria, the insect-host transmission occurs. The result: a deadly killer.
Identifying exactly how malaria mosquitoes detect their human prey is crucial to developing strategies for mosquito control, says chemical ecologist Walter Leal, professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis.
Leal, recently asked to write a "News-and-Views" piece on a Yale-Vanderbilt study for the international science journal, Nature, did so eloquently in its March 4th edition. He praised the scientific report as a "milestone discovery in our understanding of the malaria mosquito's sense of smell."
In the article, headlined "The Treacherous Scent of a Human," Leal zeroes in the widespread threat of malaria, a disease that threatens half of the world's population. It's "an accessory to the deaths of about one million humans every year," Leal wrote. "Globally, the number of people who get malaria each year is greater than the population of the United States."That's putting a number on the numbers.
The Yale-Vanderbilt team, headed by John Carlson of the Yale Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, examined 79 of the malaria mosquito's odorant receptors, finding that some are well-tuned to detect specific human odors and others aren't. Certain odorants activate some receptors but inhibit others, according to their comprehensive study published March 4 in Nature.
Indeed. The Leal lab back in 2008 published groundbreaking research that revealed the secret mode of the insect repellent, DEET. The scent doesn't jam the insect senses and it doesn't mask the smell of the host, as scientists previously thought. Mosquitoes avoid it because it smells bad to them.
Leal advocates more molecular studies in the war against malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. But that research can't stand alone. As he succinctly points out: "The development of effective malaria control will require a multidisciplinary approach that includes, but is not limited to, improvements to social infrastructure in countries affected by disease, vaccination programs and vector management."
New mosquito attractants or repellents, he says, could be developed through reverse chemical ecology, determining which odorant attracts and which repels.Mosquitoes don't like the scent of DEET. What else do they NOT like?
The study, as Leal correctly observes, "offers a fresh strategy for controlling the unwitting accessories to one of the world's most prolific killers."

Dag Evert's "American Classic"
As mentioned on the forum, heres a picture I took some time back, with natural winter daylight.
A 2100, and a 1377, both guns have been recrowned, and had their trigger parts shimmed for play,
contact surfaces stoned, and trigger springs somewhat reduced within safe limits.
The 2100 has had its barrel shimmed with tape to remove play.
Both guns give great accuracy for the money if they are given good pellets!
The combination of pellets and guns in the picture represents something close to my boyhood dreams:-)

This was my first Overstock purchase and I was so excited to receive my rug. I thought it was going to be perfect for my slate blue, brown, taupe color scheme in my living room. Boy, was I wrong. The rug is fabulous quality but the colors were not as they appear online or in the description. This rug would be perfect for a room with warm tones since it's primarily gold, rust, and brown. I am sending it back but I do have to mention just how impressed I was with customer service. They were so helpful and attentive. I will not hesitate to make another purchase with Overstock.com.
This is the second rug I've purchased on O.co. I learned with the first that color accuracy can be a crapshoot, so my expectations were in check. The rug is beautiful. I think the rug would be much more beautiful if the background was actually ivory and not grey, but as I watched my terrier rub himself across the wool like it was his job, it occurred to me that this dirt-friendly color might be a blessing in disguise.
The colors are darker than the picture and the blue is not as predominate but it actually went well with the dark oak furniture and blended well with the hardwood floor opening into the family room with a beige carpet. Although the dimensions are slightly less than the 8' x 11', it still is the best fit for the dining room. I had looked for a long, long time and had not been able to find this size I needed for this area especially at a reasonable price. It does shed quite a bit at first but after vacuuming it a few times, I see very little shedding. This rug is under the dining room table so it doesn't get much traffic. Their might be more shedding if it was in an area where people were walking on it a lot. I think it worked out well even though it wasn't exactly as described and I like it.
Usually I am happy with Overstock. This rug is an exception. I do not understand the positive reviews. The rug smelled like oil for two weeks and it has continued to shed... big gobs of wool... for more than two months. I have it in a bedroom where it looks lovely. However, the constant shedding makes really a nuisance. I am hiring two men to lift the bed, roll it up and throw it away. I hate the thing and it was a was of nearly $400. I would return it except that it is more trouble than it is worth.
The rug is very high quality. It is very plush. I do have to complain about the colors. Don't be fooled by the picture, areas that look brown are more like an orange rust color. I was going to return this, but my husband convinced me to keep it since he liked the rug. In the room the rust does not bother me as much as I expected.
This rug is thick and lush. I bought the hearth one and got another one I liked it so much. I may buy another one in another size too!
I was a little scared that the gold trim would be too loud for my living room but it's perfect for my space. It's not as bright gold as in the picture. It's more of a pale gold. Design, color and quality are on par. You won't go wrong with this rug!
I bought both the 5x8 area rug and the large runner. I love medium to thick pile wool rugs. These rugs needed to soften a bit with age/vacuuming, and they now feel great under my bare feet. Note that the pattern size scales with the rug size, so the pattern is smaller with a smaller rug. The colors are very similar to what is shown on the webpage. I would buy this rug again and again!
Love this rug! Goes perfect in my blue/beige formal living room. High quality, beautiful colors, well made. Of course it will shed for the first few vacuums, but that's normal with wool rugs.
We got this rug in the oval style....love that. The only thing I don't like about it is that it is constantly shedding or pilling. Maybe that will stop with time.

Lichborne: 5 Abilities death knights could lose in Warlords of Draenor
On Twitter a few days ago, Technical Game Designer Celestalon asked on twitter what abilities people would hate to see cut in the great button bloat purge. Interestingly enough, when I saw the tweet, the first thing that come to my head was abilities I would LOVE to cut. Still, the tweet was inspirational enough that today I figure we can talk a bit about some abilities. What active, button pressing abilities could death knights stand to lose? What abilities would we like to see stick around even if they seem perfect for chopping? Here's 5 skills I think the devs may be taking a hard look at. Feel free to add any you think I missed in the comments.

The server you're playing on has to have online mode set to false. You need to make a .bat file with the following code and just launch it.

Make sure you put a username in there. This forces Minecraft to run with whatever name you chose. You'll probably get that message in the top corner of the screen about not being a premium user, or some crap.
