Douglasville, Georgia Car Accident & Workers' Compensation Attorney
The physical, emotional, and financial cost of dealing with a serious auto accident injury or workers' compensation claim due to an accident can be daunting. Mounting medical bills, multiple doctor visits, and dealing with the at-fault insurance company can be overwhelming and expensive, especially if your family doesn't have health insurance. The good news is you don't have to do this alone.
Coupled with over 20 years experience in helping victims in Georgia, Douglasville Car Accident Attorney, James Murphy, and the legal team at Murphy Law Firm, are dedicated to protecting your legal rights, and handling your case with diligence, compassion, and aggressive advocacy. Finally, there is a law firm that puts YOU FIRST!
We realize that without this accident, and the related injuries, you would be going about your daily life without interruptions, doctor visits, and the hassles from the insurance company and their adjusters.
You Have Legal Rights. We Can Help.
The good news is that you don't have to navigate the complicated insurance system by yourself. Did you know that something as simple as not completing an insurance form correctly or innocently misstating a fact to an adjustor could cause your GA car accident claim to be delayed or even denied?
Most people don't fully grasp the entirety of their legal rights after an injury accident, collision, or the death of a loved one. You may feel intimidated or confused by insurance adjusters who are focused on denying, delaying, devaluing or defending against your claim so they can pay out as little as possible.
If you hire a personal injury attorney, we'll help you understand your legal rights; we'll deal with the adjustor; and we'll fight to make sure your rights are protected so you are fairly compensated for your losses. Insurance companies will often attempt to settle a claim quickly for an amount that is far less than it is actually worth. Do not give in to the pressure. Know your rights. Speak to an attorney first. Contact us at 770-577-3020.
You may want to begin by learning how to avoid some of the common mistakes that could keep you from getting all of the benefits and compensation you need to return to your normal life.

After 20 years of experience, the Douglasville, GA lawyers at the Murphy Law Firm have earned a reputation for fighting the insurance companies both in and out of the courtroom.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an accident in or around Dougasville, Georgia, you only have one opportunity to take control and hold the party at fault accountable for their actions.

Forum overview
· Tuesday, 19. October 2010, 14:44 h ~ 3 years ago
A place where anything is possible, where scientists have free reign to perform experiments without that pesky moral compass. Without the need to worry about approval, lobbiests, or religious movmements explaining 'why' something shouldnt be done. This was the purpose of the research station Groomlake.
A hub of the greatest scientific minds of the known world. Human cloning, genetic engineering, bio-weapon research, super soldier programs, all with 100% backings from corporations and even some world governments. Nothing was beyond the relms of human possiblity on the Groomlake.
And then it vanished.
On an unused subspace frequency, Captain Maracheck, of The Hawking listens to space noise. Chatter. background interfearance from stars, occasioannly a radio transmission that gets caught up in the static. He is free floating in the Kuiper Belt, 'fishing' for satelites, debri from mining craft, anything worth something.
Marachecks ship, The Hawking, is a small craft, with most of that being engine compartments, fuel, oxygen gardens, and storage space. The living compartment is the size of a caravan, with a small cockpit control deck.
The cargo bay ,the largest area, has a basket ball hoop, and a miniature golf course drawn on the ground in paint-now faded from quite a few years of dragging cargo over it, or just playing. Through the cargo hold is a decon chamber, which leads to the airlock.
Through the chatter, he hears a clicking...a regular pattern. Resetting the reciever to hone in on the signal, he pilots his ship towards it...
Drifting past a huge collection of space dust, he sees a collosal ship. The engines are dead, and the ship is heavily damaged from bombardment by small, and some not so small objects in space. But it is definitely salvagable. Definitely worth quite a bit of money. Definately a good day for Maracheck!
The Hawking pulls up closer to the dead ship. The docking port seems undamaged, but obviously offline. The ship pilots itself along side the docking arms, and fires teathers across. The airlock opens, and Maracheck, in full salvage gear, floats across to the ship. It is almost completely black, except for the running lights from the Dortmunder, and the teather lights flickering on the unknown craft...
Using a cutting torch, he removes the protective panel covering the docking terminal, and attaches a control nodule to the craft. He tells The Hawking to interface with the computer, and opens the airlock...
The story of Stasis has been in my mind for a very long time. Initially it started out as an outlet for bored weekends...a 'universe' to create artwork for, in between jobs. Then I thought about taking it further. Creating a game, or at least, some game environments and mockups of what it *could* be like.
Being a MASSIVE adventure game fan, this seemed like the perfect genre for an exploration story, so I began to design the game on paper, and started creating artwork for the various puzzles, characters, and of course, the environments.
Im a newbie to Visionaire, but do have experience with other 2D engines. With the game design doc completed, and the environments well on their way, I thought it was time to dive forward. I know that I will have many questions with regards to the engine, so thought that I would put up some graphics, and mock ups from the design doc to hopefully get people interested in what Im doing, and more willing to help when I get stuck! Which will probably be quite often.
I will be focusing initially on the scenes inside The Hawking, with a few mini-puzzles to get myself familiar with the engine (which is fantastic by the way!)
Looking forward to hearing from you guys!
· Tuesday, 19. October 2010, 18:51 h ~ 3 years ago
The artwork looks terrific. Very promising.
· Wednesday, 20. October 2010, 09:51 h ~ 3 years ago

Here is a shot right outa Visionaire. Its amazing how quickly you can something playable with the engine.
· Wednesday, 20. October 2010, 12:08 h ~ 3 years ago
Wow, absolute impressive... i do like science fiction scenarios very much. The story seems to be very thrilling and your artworks and ingame screenshots are awesome. Great work!
Btw. ... please write an official news abour your game time by time.
I already did it in the german area for you.
· Wednesday, 20. October 2010, 13:42 h ~ 3 years ago
Thanks man! Ive always wanted to see more 'serious sci fi' adventure games. The Dig had some of those elements, but Im thinking more along the lines of the 'serious' feel of Dead Space, but wrapped in the mechanics of an adventure game.
The first part of the game, The Hawking, is pretty much completed from a graphics standpoint. The ship has been designed to have a logical flow and placement of rooms. The actual 3D model of The Hawking has been fully worked out to be able to actually 'exist', with central plumbing areas, elevators and stairs that actually lead to other levels, oxygen gardens that allow for production of breathable air...and even a holographic stripper for some company on those long space journeys.
Ill be updating this thread as often as possible. I have quite a few puzzles planned, but have no idea how to implement them in Visionaire-but learning is half the fun!
· Wednesday, 20. October 2010, 23:12 h ~ 3 years ago
This looks pretty amazing! The shots remind me a bit of the classic roleplaying game Planescape:Torment (which was another setting, of course - what I mean is the lovely deep and dark atmosphere). Is Stasis goin to be a "pure" adventure game or will it have action/rpg elements? The ring around the character´s feet is a bit confusing when I think about a classic adventure game.
Confusing in a positive way that´s making me curious.
· Thursday, 21. October 2010, 07:36 h ~ 3 years ago
Looks awesome! Congratulations, the graphics are amazing.
Good luck. Hope to see more soon!
· Thursday, 21. October 2010, 13:01 h ~ 3 years ago
Hey aeyol,
I love Planescape: Torment (hell, I love pretty much every game that Black Isle had ever made!). If ever there was a game that NEEDS a sequel, its Planescape: Torment! Any game with a talking, floating, evil skull is just going to be awesome.
The sound in that game was fantastic. I would love to get some voice actors in STASIS (obviously WELL into development!), as it really adds another dimension to the game world. The music as well in that game...top notch!
From a design point, there are no action RPG elements to STASIS, and it really is a 'pure adventure game', with the obvious exception of it being locked to an isometric camera. Thats more of a personal choice...like I said, I love Black Isle games, and in general older RPGs. I love the Isometric viewpoint of these games, and really wanted to create something hearkening back to that style of graphics-which I fear is being lost.
Originally you were going to have multiple characters to choose from, each with a different skill set with which to tackle the puzzles in the game. So the 'intellectual' would solve situations with logic, the mechanic would solve the puzzles with a hammer, etc. But that really just opened up a whole bag of new issues, and I didn't think it added enough to the game to really warrant it being included.
HOWEVER, something that stayed was the ability to solve situations using multiple ways, dependent on a players style. Some adventure game players enjoy actual 'mini game' puzzles, like sliding games, or 'complete the circuit' games, whereas others prefer the 'try the inventory item' way, and some prefer to take chances on the ridiculous. The puzzles in STASIS are designed that most of them can be completed in a multitude of ways. Let me give an example:
When you first venture out into space to dock with The Groomlake, the airlock is sealed shut. Now one way of getting into the airlock is to return to The Hawking, where you have an acidic gel thats used to dissolve metal, come back outside, and dissolve the airlock hinges open, to get inside. Another way is to use your multi-tool on the electronic panel to the side, and complete a puzzle involving moving wires around to reset 'close' to 'open', forcing the airlock to release the locks. A third option is to explore the side of the ship a little, where you find a damaged panel that was struck with debris. Forcing the panel open exposes internal circuitry, which you use a piece of a chess set that you are building to short out the circuits of the airlock locking mechanism.
Each way has the same outcome, of getting into the airlock, but the ways of getting it done are completely different. This is just one example, with three different ways of moving forward. Some will be more straight forward, with just 1 way of getting something done, while others will have up to 5 different solutions to the puzzles.
Its funny you mention the selection circle. That was there because I wanted a lot of the game to be in quite dark areas, and was worried that the character would get lost. Ive taken it out for now, but it may come back at a later date.
Thanks mate!
Im a 3d Artist first and foremost, so its nice to know that even if the game sucks ass, someone will still think the art is cool.
· Thursday, 21. October 2010, 17:45 h ~ 3 years ago
hey, wow, this looks so cool!
good luck on your journey of completing it
· Thursday, 21. October 2010, 20:56 h ~ 3 years ago
Thank you very much for your detailed answer, Pyke.
I like the idea of different ways to solve the puzzles and I know that it´s possible with Visionaire (I just can´t help when it comes to solving visionaire-puzzles/questions since I´m only a concept artist who never tried touching the code/logic.
And I´m a big fan of PS:T, too, so I´d love to play an adventure game in iso view (maybe you know Sanitarium? Another adventure with iso view).

^__ Some animation tests of Captain Maracheck in his 'default' clothing. Since the tests, he has lost the computer on his arm. He will keep that device in the game to communicate with computers on The Groomlake, but his outfit will that of full salvage gear, and not this more 'casual' clothing.
aeyol, Ive heard of Sanitarium, but never played it. Ill take a look around eBay or some bargain bins and see if I can pick it up.
selmiak, Thanks mate. I need all the luck I can get!
· Friday, 22. October 2010, 11:42 h ~ 3 years ago
Watching your animations, I come to the conclusion that you must have done this 3D stuff before...
Very realistic.
This is gonna be a commercial game, isn't it?
· Friday, 22. October 2010, 11:46 h ~ 3 years ago
Thanks man.
Yes, I'm a professional 3D artist by trade. Luckily I get to do my hobby for a career.
Na-I have no plans to release the game commercially. It will be 100% free to download.

That is very kind of you.
· Monday, 25. October 2010, 10:55 h ~ 3 years ago
Some updated screens for you guys.
Here is the elevator control menu (which I spent the weekend setting up). When you hover over the buttons, the screen comes up with the information about each floor, and clicking on the button takes you to that floor (kinda obvious, i know.
Something I have had a bit of difficulty with is actually having the elevator door open when the character gets in, and close when he gets out. I got it working, but then the elevator stays OPEN when he returns to the floor (when it should be closed). I think its cos Visionaire keeps the level in the same state it was when you left it last, so that any changes you make still reflect when you return to the scene.
Gonna give the values a try to get around this, or just try more tweaking.
Second screen is from the living quarters on the Hawking. I wanted a nice small comfy area. Its still a work in progress, and will change with the puzzles (adding items, accesable work bench, etc). Im wondering if its a good idea to be able to interact with the toilet.
· Wednesday, 27. October 2010, 10:28 h ~ 3 years ago
Got the elevators working perfectly. Now you can INTERACT with the elevator, it opens, you walk in, choose you floor, it moves to the floor, the door opens, and you walk out, with the door closing behind you.
Probably simple to the veterans here, but for a new user, its pretty damned cool!
Next I need to figure out how to create a working radio. that you can tune into different channels. Fun fun!
· Saturday, 30. October 2010, 07:35 h ~ 3 years ago
I ilke your work!
keep it up. I follow closely
Have you website? Can I put in my blog?
I have a section for interesting projects and I would get this if you do not mind.
· Saturday, 30. October 2010, 20:26 h ~ 3 years ago
No need to hunt down Sanitarium on eBay...the website GoG.com has it available as a download for ten bucks. Worth it. It's not the game I thought it would be (I thought it was more of a Myst or Blackstone Chronicles adventure horror type of game and not an isometric classic adventure with some minor horror elements), but it was fun. There ARE some 'pixel hunt' issues, though...I had explored a map top to bottom at one point and couldn't figure out how to go further, and the hint guide I eventually resorted to didn't have me kicking myself since the answer was in a spot I know I had moused over several times, just not in THAT one spot.
But I like the look of the game...very haunting. And if you need voice work at some point down the road, I'd love to help. Story work and voice acting I love...it's all the practical programming and art aspects I have trouble with.
· Monday, 01. November 2010, 08:45 h ~ 3 years ago
Started playing around with some ideas for Marachecks salvage suit. Is has to be able to survive in space, and in some rather harsh conditions on the ship...so its like a streamlined space suit, crossed with a diving suit, with some military 'feel' for good measure.
Also Work In Progress shots of the cargo bay and airlock area, and the elevator control panel.
· Monday, 01. November 2010, 08:53 h ~ 3 years ago
Thanks man.
I don't have a website, but perhaps link through to this thread?
The next game on my list is FALLOUT New Vegas, but after I'm sure ill be in the mood for some retro gaming. Ive got Sanitarium on the top of that list.
"But I like the look of the game...very haunting. And if you need voice work at some point down the road, I'd love to help. Story work and voice acting I love...it's all the practical programming and art aspects I have trouble with."
Ill definitely be taking you up on that! I'm just doing quick scratch voices with my own voice, but getting some different voices in (that aren't mine!) is something I wanna get to when I'm further in production.
· Tuesday, 02. November 2010, 08:06 h ~ 3 years ago
Didn't have a chance to work on STASIS last night (sleep was my friend!), but I've been planning a few puzzles on paper. Im altering the 1st part of the game a little. I wanted to have a 'space walk' sequence early on in the game, but I've decided to shuffle things around a little..the space walk will happen, but later on.
Updates soon(ish).
· Tuesday, 02. November 2010, 09:38 h ~ 3 years ago
Very cool graphics, and good to see a games progress almost daily!
· Thursday, 04. November 2010, 12:31 h ~ 3 years ago
Ill try to update this thread on a daily basis, but work sometimes tends to get in the way of play.
Nothing graphically going on so far. Ive been heading back to the 'ol pen and paper, and have been spending some time working out the puzzles. I dont want them to just be 'puzzles for the sake of puzzles', but want them to have a logical reason for being in the game...a logical reason for the working the way they do. Puzzles in the game shouldn't take you out of the game-but suck you in.
So far, the puzzles I have come up with are pretty snazzy (I think at least!), and fit really well in the game world. I'm almost going at it backwards, with designing the levels, and then designing the puzzles to fit into the levels. But I think that if people wanted 'puzzle games', they would play puzzle games...adventure games are about the world, the 'feel' of the environment, the story...I think that puzzles shouldn't 'feel' like puzzles. They should feel like things that the character does in the world to move forward.
For example, a sliding puzzle (where you make a picture) should never appear in a game where it doesn't make sense to have one. Why would someone build a lock that could only be unlocked by sliding some pieces to form a picture. BUT, you could modify a sliding puzzle to be a puzzle that required you to re-wire a keypad.
Im also a fan of having to use a pen and paper and take notes during adventure games, so Im trying to incorporate the 'need' to write things down to complete some puzzles. A combination, or a circuit drawing, or something.
But Im rambling on here! Time to get back to the grindstone.
· Thursday, 04. November 2010, 23:16 h ~ 3 years ago
funny you should mention slider puzzles (I hate em with a passion!) Years ago I did a game with a 6 x 3 sliding puzzle( it wasn't my choice to have the bloody thing) and i reckon half of the people who played the game couldn't do it, I had a bypass button hidden while I was coding the game and even made a "get out of jail" SWF that someone could replace the puzzle to skip it.
BUT more meanful sliders are nice and interesting, the guy who designed that game had very little vision he even wanted a maze luckily the game engine started to break so I was saved from doing that lol
· Monday, 08. November 2010, 08:58 h ~ 3 years ago
Yeah-I have a particular hatred for slider puzzles! Even the actual 'make a picture' sliders that you get in cereal boxes and stuff annoy the crap outa me!
I think that if you MUST have a slider puzzle, it shouldn't 'feel' like a slider puzzle. Like I said, I've been thinking of modifying one to complete a circuit board or something...but honestly, I think I'm gonna kill the idea all together.
And mazes...they should be banned from adventure gaming!
Didnt get tons done this weekend, as I was away in the mountains:
HOWEVER! I did manage to get the inventory up and running. Instead of having a 'backpack' or something, Maracheck uses something called a HSD...a Hyper Storage Device. This device can demolecularize any item (assuming it has a certain mass), store it, and remolecularize it whenever it is needed. Some nerdy sci-fi'ness for what is essentially a backpack.
Game-wise its a normal inventory, but it has a really cool 'opening' animation, where it opens up and the inventory is holographically displayed. Havent added in the items yet, but the inventory 'opening' and 'closing' works perfectly.
· Tuesday, 09. November 2010, 08:31 h ~ 3 years ago
Worked more on the look of the hologram. The previous version was a little chunky, and didnt quite have that sleek techno feel to it. So I added tons of crap to it.
· Tuesday, 09. November 2010, 14:39 h ~ 3 years ago
Hi Pyke,
this is absolutely impressive! Can't remember when the last time I have seen such a well designed isometric perspective game. And the first adventure I know since the wonderful Sanitarium.
Really great stuff, also your new hologram inventory.
(Seems it's worth to visit the english forum frequently ... . Shame on me.
· Tuesday, 09. November 2010, 14:54 h ~ 3 years ago
Yeah, i think so, too. And i like the animation of the hyper storage device. Very nice stuff!!
· Tuesday, 09. November 2010, 15:40 h ~ 3 years ago
The animation is great, and the design of the invent... err, hyper storage fits perfectly in the futuristic style of the game.
· Tuesday, 09. November 2010, 15:49 h ~ 3 years ago
Hey guys, thanks so much. These comments are what get me to my computer to work on this, after a full day of being at a computer.
· Monday, 15. November 2010, 10:13 h ~ 3 years ago
Thought I would show you guys some of the interim designs and ideas I tend to throw together before settling on something solid.
I was setting up the SAVE GAME menu, and thought about, instead of calling them 'save games', being all sci-fi'ey and calling them CHRONOSPHERES...technology that owuld allow you to move back to a certain point in time. The chronosphere pack would clip into your salvage suit. It was still normal save games, but just in a clever way...or a way I thought was clever!
The more I worked on the logistics of it, I came into a few issues-the main one being that I can save the screenshots of the save games into circles.
Onto design 2!
I decided to go to the hologram way of doing things, and came up with a few interfaces for it, but really, it was losing a bit of that 'old skool' style of buttons, gauges, and 'heavyness' that I want. I have a few cool ideas for the menu systems in general...but they just werent 'flowing' for the save game system, SO...
I went to just a normal menu. Based on the same idea of the elevator control system. Its simple, and effective. I may still go back to the 'chronosphere' idea, but for now Im doing the 'KEEP IT SIMPLE, STUPID' was of game design. This works.
· Monday, 15. November 2010, 11:25 h ~ 3 years ago
Yeah, i think this should work very well.
I like all of your concepts, but the last one is clear and intuitive.
· Monday, 15. November 2010, 13:10 h ~ 3 years ago
I like the last one too
What software are you using for the scenes/menu?
· Monday, 22. November 2010, 16:34 h ~ 3 years ago
Hey guys, just wanted to drop in a little update.
The project is still very much alive and kicking, although most of the stuff Im doing now is all the background coding logic...nothing graphical-any any graphics I have in are literally stick figures and circles with writing in them!
Ive also taken a relook at the story, and rewritten quite a large chunk of the second act with a rather nice twist, and 'love interest' of sorts. Kinda love interest. And kinda a twist. I tell you, its so difficult to NOT tell you guys the story!
· Monday, 22. November 2010, 16:34 h ~ 3 years ago
Nigec, I use 3DSMax.
· Tuesday, 23. November 2010, 10:59 h ~ 3 years ago
my game is all quick renders at the moment, I have to model and furnish a house so I focused on getting the lighting, camera views and object locations first and the navigation, I'm glad I did it that way as the way I lit the rooms changed by time I did the upper floors.I'm more used to rendering single scenes with a focal point not stuff that follows on lol.
I use Sketchup, Carrara and Truespace, 99% is rendered in Thea .
keeping it simple to begin with def works

You've got amazing graphics, there's great detail that goes into everything and that tells a lot about the world of the game and the game developer. The feeling reminds me of great sci-fi films in space, Alien, Event Horizon, Sunshine. There seem to be so few sci-fi adventure games anymore, a lot of CSI kinda adventures involving crime and the right forensic tools nowadays. The days of the DIG and Space Quest are but a memory. Someone needs to make a stand for all the sci-fi fans out there with a great story, amazing characters and a memorable world. I think STASIS is going to be just that. All the best to you and may it be a smooth process.
· Monday, 06. December 2010, 09:24 h ~ 3 years ago
Thanks man. I hope I finish as well!
Thanks so much for the kind words. I am such a massive SCI FI fan, and really, the Adventure Game genre just fits in so well in a 'serious' Sci Fi setting that I'm surprised that it hasn't been done very often before. I think that The Dig did a massive amount of damage for 'serious' sci fi adventures-not that it was a horrible game, but just because of the development hell it went through!
Those films you mentioned are the exact inspiration for STASIS. In fact, I watched EVENT HORIZON this weekend when working on one of the cinematic sequences, to see how they filmed and lit their ghost ship!
Im really working hard on creating a creepy, believable world-a world that 'I' would want to explore as an adventure gamer. A world that makes you want to open up the next door-be excited to discover a piece of technology, or uncover the next piece of the puzzle. At its heart, the story of STASIS is a mystery, wrapped up in a survival adventure.
Keep taking a look back!

Heres a shot pf the Space Walk sequence, when you first get into the Groomlake.
Originally this entire sequence was going to be a cinematic, with an in game 'cut scene' of the captain going towards the airlock-but after going back to my original story treatment, I realized that half the fun of sci-fi ghost ship stories is the initial discovery....the building of excitement BEFORE you enter into the ship-and having that as a cut scene is taking a lot of that away from the player. SO! Here we have the first piece of the spacewalk sequence.
You can also see the Hawking in the bottom right, for those wondering just what you ship actually looks like.
The scene has some really nice little animated touches....running lights blink on The Hawking..the captain in his salvage suit is animated to kinda 'dangle' his legs, and I've implemented a particle system to have bits of 'space dust' randomly drifting around. Combined the the 'hollow' sound of Marachecks breathing, the sequence is quite...cold, for lack of a better word!
Something that may be of interest to some people is a piece of sound design from the game. Im trying to make the game sound 'empty' and kinda freaky, so Im thinking of dropping a musical soundtrack, and just building up the soundtrack of the game with ambient sounds and noises.
This is a collection of the sounds from the Nursery sequence, with some other interface sounds layered over it. Just trying to get a feel for how layered to make the sounds, how loud the ambient sound will be, and to see if it will actually work. Tell me what you think? Freaky? Or just kinda stupid?

Root Beer Salt Water Taffy: 3LB Bag
Pin It
The invention of root beer goes back to the 18th century, when American farm owners used to brew the beverage for social gatherings and special events. Interestingly enough, the drink's classic sassafras flavor is exclusive to North America. Other versions of root beer exist in the UK, Philippines, and Thailand, but each has a significantly different flavor from the American version.
Enjoy the classic root beer flavor we've grown to love in delicious chewy taffy form, lovingly crafted by Sweet Candy Company. One of the oldest family-owned and operated candy companies in the United States, Sweet's has been making quality taffy for almost 120 years.
There are approximately 65 pieces per pound.
Unit Price = $3.30/lb.
Bag contains 3 pounds of Brown & White Root Beer Float Taffy Candy.
Made in the USA.
Shipping Weight ~ 4 lbs.

No Front LEDsPros: Great cooling, room for a second 120mm fan in front. Lots of internal room for cable routing and screwless everything except mb of course. Cons: My APEVIA logo on the front does not come on when plugged in. The LEDs in the front pannel were out on arrival. Did you find this review helpful? |
LemonPros: Seems like a solidly built case, probably a very good bang/buck with plenty of room. Cons: I have to get an RMA on this case and tell the business that there is going to be a massive @@@@@@@@@@@ delay on their server because the case is defective. Other Thoughts: Since I am unable to even stick a logic board into this case, this gets no props from me, I will have to order a new case to save time and newegg will hate it when I call. Did you find this review helpful? |
Solid CasePros: For the price, solidly built and plenty of space Cons: The drive bays were a bit of a tight squeeze for me, but so far only one drive in there so not a serious con at this time. Other Thoughts: Blue lights could be considered a little tacky, but you can just not plug in the front one. For the price, no regrets. Did you find this review helpful? |
door needs workPros: really big fan is keeping the motherboard @ 28 C Cons: door opens and closes hard Did you find this review helpful? |
Decent case for the moneyPros: Cheap, pretty sturdy, good looking Cons: The side fan is so wide, than it would prevent using an aftermarket cpu fan, if the cpu radiator is too tall. I have a big OCZ fan that I use on my cpu, it touches the case side fan, luckily not the fan blades but the fan chassis, so I could close the case. Also, the fan has a little wobble. The cpu and hdd thermometer gadget is crocked and does not display straight. Also, absolutely no cable management, which is a must considering the huge side fan. Other Thoughts: For $30 + $15 shipping, it's a good deal. But the quality made me drop an egg. Still, if you are not in a hurry to get a decently priced case, I would recommend to wait for a shell shocker deal and get a brand name such a corsair or thermaltake. Did you find this review helpful? |
Perfectly finePros: - It's relatively spacious - has upwards of 3 inches of height and tons of width remaining after putting a 6850 in, which isn't a big card necessarily but it is relatively hefty. Cons: - Entirely aesthetics, but the outer casing smudges up pretty badly. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cool CasePros: Really Nice case, much room for expansions, overall Just a really nice case for the price, I would pay up to $80 on it Cons: 250mm Fan can get loud time to time Did you find this review helpful? |
Built like a TANK!Pros: This case is built with strength and structural integrity. One of my biggest concerns when I build a computer is having a case that is nice and firm, not flexible and wobbly....this case does not disappoint. It feels heavy and rugged. Aesthetically the case is VERY pleasing. Comes with a HUGE fan on the side, and an exhaust fan on the back panel. Both work fantastically. The tool-free mounts for your drives actually work and are pretty intuitive. At least one other review mentioned the door covering the drive bays....you have to give it a good push for it to snap closed. Cons: Bah. Other Thoughts: I'm impressed. If you need a nice sturdy case to put your computer goodies in where they'll be safe and sound, look no further. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A good, solid workhorsePros: I've had this case for little over a year, and I have to say, it has served me quite well. Granted, there are nicks and scratches, but otherwise, the finish is holding up quite well. Installation was simple, and although fitting my 9800GTX was a bit of a pain, it all worked out. The toolless interior is great, especially if you plan on swapping out parts. Cooling is excellent; the 250mm side fan moves a lot of air without any noise whatsoever (due to its slow spinning, which is not a bad thing), and the 120mm in the back, although slow, does a good job at regulating temperatures, although it wouldn't hurt to replace it with something more powerful. Cons: As I said, there are nicks and scratches, although this is more from general wear and tear rather than poor craftsmanship, of which there is none. Size wise, yes, it could have been slightly bigger, as fitting my 9800GTX was tricky, and the wiring inside is a mess. I also think that there should have been a fan mounted in the front as standard; currently I have an Aerocool mounted there but it would have been nice if there was one there before. The temperature gauge and knob have since broke, leaving the side fan to blow at 100% (which I don't mind, but I liked the temperature gauge). I have since put electrical tape over the LCD screen, but if there was a way to replace it, that would be nice. Other Thoughts: For the money, you can't beat this. You have a large side fan bringing in a great amount of air; the toolless construction aids installation of components, and it does look classy when lit up. Now there are some things about it that are a bit annoying, such as the case being on the small side, the lack of a front fan, and the faulty LCD display. However, those are really only trivial, and if you are looking for a case that keeps your components cool, is sturdy and can take abuse, and that looks cool without going way overboard, this case is for you. Now, yes, there are some more desirable options, however, those are much more expensive. This case is a great value, and it looks plain classy. Manufacturer Response: 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Freakin sweetPros: Big, great color. LED blue and the case itself match great together. plenty of room for drives. Great deisgn. Plenty of air space even with the monsterish parts i have in it. Cons: a 9800 gtx+ fits in the case with about a few mm to spare. I could have gone bigger. Other Thoughts: If you are planing on building a freakin beast, then be ready to get a little crowded in the case. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Scale modeling may be highly addictive

Learn about scale modeling
from the experts
The North Olympic Peninsula Modelers Society
Peninsula Model Show & Contest 2010
9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday, June 12
Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend
$5 adults, $3 junior (age 17 and younger)
Additional information: Show theme is "The Fantastic Sixties." Admission allows entry to nearby Coastal Artillery Museum for half-price.
Larry Speelman has an eye for detail.
His hands are as steady and delicate as they are large and strong.
He's a grown man - a husband, father and grandfather - but his enthusiasm for scale modeling is that of a child: intense and compelling.
"I've taken over a whole bedroom," Speelman said with a youthful chuckle.
"Now, we have a two-bedroom house with an air brush station."
His specialty is model airplanes, military aircraft to be specific. He builds replicas of the steel birds he worked with as a radar technician in the Air Force years ago. Each model is so realistic that even the serial numbers match. To the untrained eye, a photograph of a model easily could be mistaken for a picture of a historical aircraft.
As a member and show chairman of the North Olympic Peninsula Modelers Society, Speelman prides himself on precision.
"We aren't just building models," Speelman emphasized.
"We are duplicating something that exists in real life, using great detail."
Roger Torgeson, a past president of the club and retired Navy mechanic, recently finished a scale model of the USS Phoenix. Coincidently, he plans to enter the ship into the 2010 International Plastic Modelers Society National Convention in Phoenix, Ariz. from Aug. 4-7.
Torgeson assembled and painted the ship himself, making everything except the wood base from scratch. Even then, he routed out the solid base to build an aircraft hangar in the ship, complete with a model airplane.
"I went crazy on this one," Torgeson said.
"It was a challenge is what it was, but I have a tendency to push my skill regularly."
While he's in Arizona for the competition, Torgeson plans to visit family in Tucson, Ariz., where he'll meet his youngest grandson - 3 months old - for the first time.
Torgeson, who is known in the club for his high-quality models, has won numerous awards.
Not all models are built from scratch, though. Model kits are available online from all over the world and at most hobby shops. Airplanes, ships, trucks, tractors, trains, science fiction figurines - you name it and you probably can find it on the Internet, Speelman said.
Closer to home than the national convention is the annual model show and contest at Fort Worden State Park Saturday on June 12. More than 250 scale models are expected to be on display, sitting on the same stage where Louis Gossett Jr. gave his farewell speech at the end of the movie, "An Officer and a Gentleman."
In addition to its annual show, the North Olympic Peninsula Modelers Society hosts a "Make 'n' Take" at the Sequim Irrigation Festival each year where members help children create scale models of their own. Sponsored by First Federal, the kit this year was a 1934 Ford street rod.
Members also gather scale model kits to send overseas for troops.
Building scale models isn't something Steelman has done all his life.
"I made models as a kid but stopped," he said.
"Then, at 45, I got back into it when my dad asked me to make a B-24 Liberator model like the one he flew in the war."
According to Speelman, it's never too late to start or resume an interest in scale modeling. In fact, the hobby only grows in detail, selection and quality each year that passes.
It's not uncommon for members to be a little fanatical about the hobby, Speelman said, sharing a story about a member who was traveling to an out-of-area show when he dropped his model on the airplane and it shattered into tiny pieces.
"He picked up the pieces from under people's feet, put it back together at the hotel that night and still managed to win second place," Speelman said.
Though several members of the society have a military background, it's not a prerequisite. Members of all ages, backgrounds and skill levels are welcomed with open arms. The only requirement is an interest in scale modeling, often coupled with a passion for history.
Building miniature look-alikes
The North Olympic Peninsula Modelers Society, a chapter of the International Plastic Modelers Society, meets 7-9 p.m. the first and third Thursday of each month in the downstairs community room at the Odd Fellows & Rebekah Lodge, 11323 Rhody Drive, in Port Hadlock. The club was founded in 2004 by a group of scale modelers searching for an outlet to share ideas, tips and information about scale modeling. Members travel from as far as Bremerton and Port Angeles. Membership costs $10 per year, a fee that's often waived for youths. All ages and backgrounds are welcomed. For more information, e-mail

Get a ChilBox Bluetooth speaker for $49.99

Poor air quality in Michigan is not limited to areas of industry
If we asked you to name the areas in Michigan most likely to have poor air quality, chances are pretty good you'd start with the Detroit area, or southeast Michigan. Certainly with all of the vehicles, the industry, and the dense population, it's not too surprising that the Detroit area most often has the most polluted air.
But some of the most beautiful, most scenic areas of Michigan also suffer from poor air quality.
MLive meteorologist Mark Torregrossa joined us today to help is find out where and why this is happening.
Listen to the full interview above.

Push mowers may not need much gas, but even a little gas and yearly oil and blade sharpening adds up. A can of WD-40 and a wrench was all I ever put into the reel deal. |
Just received the reel mower and this unit throws the grass to the back, toward your feet/shoes/pants which I don't like at all. The other two models, Plus and Max, throws the grass foward after being cut.
I'm sending this back and getting the StaySharp 18" Max. The videos on that product page was deceiving making it look like it would spit the grass foward but the video was actually showing either the Plus or Max model. It worked well but had trouble cutting thick and tall grass like others have mentioned. |
If anyone is in the Newburgh, NY area (zip12550), I have the 18" Staysharp Max model that I'm selling, with the basket catcher. Will give a better deal for it to slick dealers, as I've got it on Craigslist at the moment.
It's been taken care of and maintained. But I overestimated my free time and cannot keep the 1+ acre properly mowed with this. It is very pleasant to use though if you have a level lawn. Hearing the reel spinning, grass clippings flying and the birds singing all at the same time was pretty awesome. |

Oily Rags: The Fire Department and Department of Public Works are frequently asked the question- How to dispose of oily rags? Oily rags have a long history as being a source of fire. Let's first look at what elements are needed to have fire. There needs to be heat, oxygen and fuel for fire to exist. Oily rags that get folded or balled up and then tossed on the floor or other surface can spontaneously combust and catch on fire due to a process that starts with oxidation. Oxidation takes place as the oil is drying on the rag and this produces heat. Air gets trapped in the folds or balled up portions and normal breathing air contains approximately 21% oxygen. Rags are typically made of some type of combustible cloth that is a great source of fuel. Although there may be many recommendations on how to best dispose of an oily rag the fire department has narrowed it down to two. 1. For the continuous user of oil soaked rags, such as on a daily or weekly basis, it is recommended that a listed oily waste container be used and emptied by a private contractor that is in the business of this sort of disposal. 2. For the less frequent user it will be acceptable to dispose of the rags during a city sponsored hazardous waste collection day. In the meantime until those days arrive, it would be advisable to either dry the rags unfolded on an outdoor clothes line or keep them in a non combustible container, such as glass or metal, with a solution of water and an oil breakdown detergent that completely covers the rags.

We stayed in spot 188, next to larger of the 3 pools. We had chosen another spot, but were informed once we arrived that our 1st choice had already been booked! The Staff was very friendly and helpful in getting us another spot, which turned out to be better! The area was well kept up and very neat. The place is near the Board walk and short drive to other attractions, Galveston Island. The only Down side was no shade, and ants in the Grass. We could not sit in chairs without them getting on our feet.

Northgate stuns McIntosh in region tournament
In what could be considered the biggest upset of the region 4-AAAAA boys basketball tournament, number one seed McIntosh High School lost to the Vikings of Northgate High School in a low scoring game 40-33.
The Chiefs, who previously beat Northgate twice early in the season, struggled offensively all night and were held to under 40 points for the first time all year.
"We slept walk throughout the whole game, I told my team last night that it's hard to beat a team three times in a season," said McIntosh head coach Jason Eisele. "I knew that Northgate we do everything they could to win, they deserve to go to state and we do not."
Northgate's Wendell Watson had a game high 16 points and Adrian Tolbert added 10. Freshman Jordan Lyons was the leading scorer for the Chiefs finishing the night with 14 points.
McIntosh had an early 15-9 lead but Northgate's zone defense began to give McIntosh trouble. The Chiefs perimeter shooters couldn't knock down open shots and Northgate took advantage going on a 12-2 run to take the lead 21-17 with 2:52 left in the second quarter.
"We just weren't aggressive at all we were too passive, no one wanted to take the big shot or drive a gap," said Eisele. "We usually shot the ball well but we didn't tonight, you live by the three and die by the three and we died by it tonight."
Despite the Chiefs rough shooting night McIntosh had a chance to tie the game in the waning moments. Down 35-32 with 53 seconds left Lyons recovered a missed three pointer for an offensive rebound but missed the subsequent layup forcing the Chiefs to foul, ending their state playoff hopes.
"If you hold your opponent to 40 points you figure you're going to win the game but not when you only score 33, hats of to Northgate they deserve every bit of it," said Eisele.

NEW YORK CITY -- In one corner sat a house built with 300 used aluminum cat-food cans, each stuffed with insulation. Another house, made from discarded foam panels and wood, looked like Swiss cheese.
These were some of the entrants in the "Architects for Animals: Giving Shelter" contest, held in New York. Leslie Farrell, who works for Francis Cauffman Architects, founded the contest three years ago to raise awareness and funds for the half million or so cats that live outdoors in the five boroughs.
"No animal should have to live on the streets," Farrell said. "They need food, shelter, medical care."
The architects, working with caretakers for feral-cat colonies, came up with designs for practicality, aesthetics and cat-friendliness.
Zimmerman Workshop built its entry out of a cooler wrapped in sheet moss held together with chicken wire, designed to blend in with a garden environment. M Moser Associates' "Cat Coop" is a series of elevated pods of birch plywood, insulated with compressed foam and carpet. The contest winner gets no prize, only gratitude and "bragging rights," Farrell said. All the projects will find a place somewhere in New York City's gardens, parks or back yards.
A video camera will air a live feed of the eventual feline inhabitants, for researchers and general-public voyeurs.
"I grew up with animals and really value them," said Farrell, who became more aware of urban feral cats after moving to an upper Manhattan neighborhood. She discovered the nonprofit Mayor's Alliance for NYC's Animals, a rescue group that offers advice on living with feral cats humanely.
No one seems to know how many feral cats roam New York's parks and gardens. The Mayor's Alliance says the number of "community cats," a population that includes feral as well as domesticated abandoned felines, is between 500,000 and 1 million.
"They are adept at hiding and they are adept at reproducing," said alliance President Jane Hoffman, adding that two cats can produce 62 cats in just two years.
The alliance's Feral Cat Initiative helps with programs to trap and neuter or spay outdoor cats, then return them outdoors. Cats are vaccinated for rabies and "ear-tipped," in which the left ear is painlessly trimmed so the specimen is easily identified if trapped again.
The designs in the contest will provide some lucky cat colonies with warm, clean homes. The entry from Pilot Projects is a simple schematic for constructing "cat forts" out of materials found in Central Park, such as tree branches and discarded plastic bags, based on American Indian shelters.
Pilot Projects spokesman Scott Francisco wouldn't say exactly where the cat tepees will be placed because the Parks Department doesn't want to draw attention to the shelters, fearing they might encourage humans to abandon more cats.
Francisco said the shelters, designed to be built by children, are meant to not only help cats but also mitigate "the over-digitization of childhood life." The younger generation is being dulled by virtual realities rather than real ones, he said. The cat project is "a small opportunity to give kids a chance to break out of that and engage in the physical world."
The "trap, neuter, return" program is touted as an efficient solution because with neutered and spayed cats there's less fighting and caterwauling and no smelly marking of territories.
For those who don't mind living near an outdoor cat colony, there's an upside. "You are not going to have a vermin problem," Hoffman said. "There's a reason why the ancient Egyptians let cats live in their granaries."

A.Word.A.Day--contangocontango (kuhn-TANG-goh) noun A premium paid by the buyer to the seller for deferring payment. [From alteration of continue or contingent.] "Gold markets are generally in contango because there is an infinite supply of gold in the vaults of central banks or in private hands." Jim Jones; Hedging: It Takes Two to Tango on the Market; Business Day (Johannesburg, South Africa); Feb 08, 2002. "In addition, the one-year contango, or the difference between spot prices and forward prices, has narrowed to $3 an ounce, from $15 a few years ago." Bernard Simon; Gold Producers Are Split On Whether to Hedge; The New York Times; Jan 24, 2002. Before coming to the Seattle area two years ago, we organized a moving-sale to dispose of our furniture and other household goods. It seems it was our then-kindergartener Ananya's first direct experience in the world of commerce but we didn't realize how much she had picked up until we'd settled in our new home.
There's a knock on the door of my home office downstairs and Ananya enters
with a smile on her face.
A little later, there's another knock-knock on the door.
One look at the bright crayon rainbow in her tiny hand and my heart overrides
my head. I'm ready to splurge just to acquire that masterpiece for my
collection. A few more such business deals and Ananya has sold out. But that doesn't deter a determined entrepreneur, as I soon discover.
"Would you like this penny for four cents?"
I take her comments at face-value, that there is some value in this exchange.
I dig into my wallet only to discover that my buying spree has taken
toll on my bottom-line. Thanks to a generous credit-line extended by the friendly banker at our very own First National Home Bank, I'm able to borrow emergency funds and close the sale.
"So what are you going to do with all this money?" I ask her. Sometimes it takes just a few hours to get a lifetime's instruction in the school of business and life. This week in AWAD: words from the world of money and finance. X-BonusWrongs are often forgiven, but contempt never is. Our pride remembers it forever. -Lord Chesterfield, statesman and writer (1694-1773) |

Plot Summary:
On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality. Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one--in increasingly gruesome ways--Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination. The film marks the latest in the highly popular "Final Destination" series, and its first 3D installment, giving horror fans an especially visceral thrill ride.

Zero sympathy for residents of NY, NJ, IL, or MA, as they voted Democrats into office. Of course, there isn´t much alternative, because GOPs in those states are practically indistinguishable from Dems. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
Good to see CBS Chicago actually noticing how bad the situation is.However I see no way out except bankruptcies for many local governments and other agencies such as sanitation districts. And every state handles those differently.Every possible bail-out scheme will be proposed first. Getting money from others is a popular lifestyle.

I like the way article is written, you´d think the various agencies had mysteriously some how overspent on paperclips and bottled water, but by the way, there´s those pesky unfunded pension liabilities, they might by a factor but we´re unsure and we´re so confused.

The whole issue of taxes is in a weird situation right now.Obama started this ridiculous redistribution theme to reel in a huge block of voters and it sure as hell paid off for him in both the elections.Obviously it hasn´t worked with more people in poverty,wage gap getting bigger and millions of un and underemployed people,not to mention $6 trillion in new debt. The left uses debt as an excuse to raise taxes after they go on spending sprees.There´s institutional liberal debt due to overly generous government unions benefits.But there´s also a subterranean angle on taxes which is leading to population shifts to lower tax states like Fl. and Texas.We know cal. is the best example of a people and business exodus.Blue state liberals are so addicted to tax and spend policies,they can´t see the self destruction going on right before their eyes.You have to love the hilarity of Obama supporters getting tax increases while rich people barely got slapped and you have to make $400,000 to even qualify for that.I can see people in this income area asking for pay cuts rather than see Obama get their extra taxes.The disconnect I don´t get is there´s a lot of outrage going on across the country on taxes but republicans are still scorned by the public even though they´re against taxes up until the cliff cave in.My guess is the government will see less than half of what their projections will supposedly bring in from the cliff deal.The other disconnect I don´t get is Obama is the head snake on tax increases but still has a 50% approval and the media calls him a popular president.

Stock XJ rear bumper, broken gas tank, non-HO cylinder head.
One stock XJ rear bumper, black, has two small rectangles cut out for backup lights. In decent shape, mounts still attached but they are tweaked and reasonably rotted, end caps are still attached as well.
Also have a stock XJ gas tank with a crack in the bottom, good for scrap. And last but not least I have an extra non-HO cylinder head from an '87 block kicking around that had 250,000 miles on it. Didn't smoke, came of a running engine, just want it gone. FREE or trade for a 12pk of Mountain Dew LiveWire. Last edited by 1988JeepXj; June 8th, 2010 at 05:34 PM. |
