In the same park where Robert Nathan Martens grew up hiking and riding horses now stands a memorial to him and Arizona's 85 military members killed serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
A crowd of about 200 people attended the emotionfilled Veterans Day dedication Saturday morning for the Nathan Martens Arizona Memorial at San Tan Mountain Regional Park south of Queen Creek.
Martens, a 20-year-old Navy hospital worker, was killed after serving 10 days in Iraq when the Humvee he was riding in overturned.
The Queen Creek High School graduate was involved in FFA and played football and baseball. He married Erin Saben in 2004 and had a daughter, Riley Jo.
The memorial was made possible by donations and features a center plaque that has Martens' story inscribed in it and a 70-foot flag pole that organizers hope the family will be able to see from their home adjacent to the park.
"I think we'll be able to see it when the flag is lit at night," said Rob Martens, Nathan's father. "When we're looking over here, we'll be seeing Nathan."
Martens said he is touched by the effort that went into the $100,000 memorial.
"In addition to the donations, they've put thousands of hours into this," Martens said.U.S. Air Force Maj. Bryan Martyn of Gold Canyon organized the ceremony that included heartfelt words from Queen Creek Mayor Art Sanders, Pinal County Supervisor Sandie Smith and Maricopa County Supervisor Fulton Brock.
"It's a way to give back and honor all of the Arizonans who have given so much to the war on terrorism," Martyn said of the memorial.
During the ceremony, Erin Martens and daughter Riley Jo unveiled the plaque on the memorial and gave it a kiss. A flag was raised and a bagpipe playing "Amazing Grace" echoed throughout the park.
Erin Martens said Nathan would have been flattered by the memorial but also would be happy to see that everyone's name was included. "It's overwhelming — all of the support," she said. "You just smile and take it all in."

ohrwurm – RTP Fuzzing Tool (SIP Phones)
ohrwurm is a small and simple RTP fuzzer, it has been tested it on a small number of SIP phones, none of them withstood the fuzzing.
- reads SIP messages to get information of the RTP port numbers
- reading SIP can be omitted by providing the RTP port numbers, so that any RTP traffic can be fuzzed
- RTCP traffic can be suppressed to avoid that codecs learn about the "noisy line"
- special care is taken to break RTP handling itself
- the RTP payload is fuzzed with a constant BER
- the BER is configurable
- requires arpspoof from dsniff to do the MITM attack
- requires both phones to be in a switched LAN (GW operation only works partially)

Announcing The Happy Flag Project
I am tremendously excited to share with you a most special project in honor of His Holiness the Dalai Lama's upcoming visit to Birmingham, Alabama in October. Actually, I am rather stunned that we got the green light from the Birmingham Mayor's office on Monday...but we did. To be honest, this project is so much bigger than me that I have no idea what it actually even is and I am curious to see how it will unfold.
The basic idea of The Happy Flag Project is to celebrate His Holiness and this amazing event by blanketing the city of Birmingham and its many civil rights sites in handmade prayer flags which you will send in from all over the world. I grew up in Alabama and have had a long running interest in Tibet and Buddhism. I am so grateful and deeply honored to have the opportunity to be a part of such a holy and sacred creativity project and to work on it with my mom.
Please visit the website and also follow along on the Facebook page The Happy Flag Project. I can't wait to see the magical prayer flag creations you will make. Also, please consider hosting a prayer flag making workshop in your city and we will post it on the site. Share this with your friends. We welcome your feedback, thoughts, ideas and interaction on this very special adventure. It will be better if we do it together! Be a part of the love! And thank you.
See more here.

Oh, dear! I missed out on this wonderful giveway. I really like the designs everyone created. I like yours especially because of the vibrant colors you used. May you have a joyous time meeting the Dalai Lama. He is a very special person and even though I have never met him, you can feel his vibrancy of living for the moment. He exudes Peace.

Dearest Carrie,
sometimes you know before you know. Last night, inspired by your lovely and generous PAINT remnants, I made a 'happy' prayer flag for my daughter, who needs cheering. And today, this post. For once, not late to the party! Thank you for your good heart and continual inspiration. I want to be a part of this celebration.

Knowing the Territory
It was my friend's first camping trip with her husband, and they were lost. He tried all the usual tactics to determine direction—moss on the trees (there was none), direction of the sun (it was overcast), and so on. Just as she began to panic, he spotted a cabin in the distance. "This way," he said as he led her back to their camp.
"How did you do that?" my friend asked.
"Simple. In this part of the country, the satellite dishes point south."

Washington Post's Petrow on Inviting Hostile Parents to Your LGBT Wedding
June 10, 2014 by Hayley Miller, Digital Media Associate
This week in his advice column for The Washington Post, Steven Petrow took on questions regarding disapproving parents.
An anonymous reader wrote in to Petrow's column inquiring if the reader's parents should be invited to her same-sex wedding, even if they live across the country and do not approve.
Petrow recognizes the reader's emotions writing, "Now you're angry and hurt, and you're considering axing them from the guest list. I'm wondering whether this is because you don't really want them there, because you want to punish them for their bad behavior, or because you'd rather snub them than risk having them decline the invitation."
Petrow posed the question on his Facebook page, where he received a variety of responses. Some respondents validated the reader's emotion, while others pointed out that the wedding is an opportunity for the parents to grow and be included.
Petrow offers two other reasons to invite the hostile parents. He explains, "If you don't (send an invite), you're matching fire with fire, which is to say you're being just as intolerant as they are. Second, if you take the low road, you'll lose the significant moral ground you're standing on and forever be remembered as the daughter 'who didn't invite her own parents to her wedding.' Who would want that?"

Works better than any pore cleaner I ever used. Still not the result I'm looking for, but the best I've seen.
The way I do it is pour some powder gelatin into a shot glass, add a bit of milk and stir till its mixed, add a few drops of honey to even out the consistency. Then I nuke it for about 5-10 seconds, depending on how much I am making. After it cools a bit I put it on my face with a butter knife. I wait till it dries and then I carefully peel it off.
Can be quite painful though when I get hair in it. I use it only on the center of my face, from my forehead to chin. I avoid the edges of my face because that is where I have more facial fuzz. It takes my mustache hairs off nicely though.
The best part of this method is that its so cheap. I'm never buying pore strips again.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I noticed that every time I tried to use this method in the past, it did not deliver great results. I realize now that many of us may be over cooking the recipe. My latest attempt, I heated my milk alone and then added the gelatin while stirring the mixture. This made the consistency much more even and when I applied it, the mixture spread over my skin much easier and smoothly. After it dried, the peel was consistent and there were few bubbles. Most importantly, the peel actually lifted my black heads out like a Biore strip- like it is supposed to. I also advise any users to exfoliate properly and steam your face so your pores are actually open. All masks and peels require a well prep'd face to do their job.
I have been making homemade masks for about a month. As an avid juicer, I've come to discover most the juices I drink are also great to apply to my skin. Tonight I made a juice (and a mask) of papaya, cantaloupe, lemon, spinach, kale and parsley. These ingredients have a ton of vitamins that are great for the skin. I added the gelatin at first solely as a thickening agent, but then discovered that it becomes a peel.
Like many others stated, peeling this off wasn't particularly easy, so I focused on peeling my most congested areas: nose, cheeks and chin. It removed blackheads just like a biore strip. I also dislike the fuzz on my face, so I was actually happy it took that with it. I rinsed the rest off with warm water.
My face has never been so smooth in my life. I followed it up with a serum of grapeseed oil, lavender oil and tea tree oil. I am anxious to see the results in the morning.
I plan on experimenting with other juices, including my favorite strawberry and turmeric mix. The gelatin was an unexpected, but awesome, addition to my home remedies.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was trying to find something similar to what I used here. Well I guess this is kind of right. I used Knox Gelatine to create a peel off mask (it's supposed to act like Bioré strips).
Basically you take the gelatin, add water until it looks chunky, heat it up in the microwave for 10 seconds, let it cool a little, and apply to your face (do not get on any hair you want to keep).
I personally did not feel like this did anything for me. My pores were not cleaned out. I broke out in acne the day after using it and have come to notice it's the only reason why I've been having pimples. Peeling this off is a pain and hurts like no other. You're taking all the hair on your face with the mask when you peel it off (feels like you're waxing your face but not as fast). The worst you can do is try this and see if it works for you. If it does it's cheap. A package of 4 envelopes of Knox Gelatine was not even a $1 at my grocery store.
All I can say is OUCH. I mixed some gelatin with milk and melted it in the microwave. Then, I applied to my entire face and let dry fully. Peeling off this mask was so painful - it tugs at your skin like a super strength band-aid and rips out tiny little hairs. Hurt so badly, especially on sensitive areas like the cheeks. My face was a bright red mess...and there was nothing on the strips. The gelatin also smells horrible, and I practically gagged the entire time it was drying. I tried again recently, washing my face and then applying it only on my black-head prone areas. I got the same results this time around - a lot of pain and redness, but my blackheads weren't removed at all. Won't be trying it again!
No need to use milk for this mask, water does the trick. After heating it up in the microwave I add 1 drop of essential oil (Lavender, tea tree, etc) to mask the smell of the gelatin. After applying I use a blow dryer on low heat to dry the mask faster. This mask pulls EVERYTHING out of my skin! I take a hot shower and use an exfoliator before hand to open my pores up. I'll never buy another biore strip again!

This mask makes a HUGE difference in my skin.
I mix 1 part gelatin/1 part milk and microwave for 10 seconds. I apply it in a thin layer, then quickly place a paper towel over it (to aid in removal). I allow to dry for about an hour, then remove slowly.
The results include removal of: gunk in pores, tiny hairs on my face, and dead skin.
I usually apply another mask or a peel afterward, as this mask allows other masks and peels to really sink in. (A serum would be a good idea as well.)
Be sure to let the mask dry completely, or, just like a pore strip, it will not remove gunk from your face!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The trick is your face has to be SUPER clean and dry. I do a bakingsoda scrub that removes all oil and exfoliates right before, then is nothing between the gunk and the mixture. Works amazing!
I wish it didn't goop up so quickly. :( You have to work Fast
Works great. I've master tweaked the recipe though!
Make a cup of hot green tea. (Milk smells bad warm in the recipe.)
Add gelatin. Use same ratios, equal parts tea and gelatin. Stir. Heat 5 seconds. Stir. Then I added a drop of teatree oil, which is also great for your skin and smells nice. :)
Apply thin to generous layer. Blow dry your face. :)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
It didn't really work that well for me. I mixed one tablespoon of milk and one tablespoon of powdered unflavored gelatin mix and heated in the microwave for 10 seconds. Applied on my nose and chin. I think it just removed some dead skin and no black heads. I also couldn't get all of it off and ended up using a warm washcloth to remove the rest of it.

Chess - is it a purely logical game?
Some people complain that chess is not a 'pure' game, as it contains too many artifical rules, namely: castling, pawns initially moving two spaces, en passant captures, pawn promotion and the stalemate draw.
Well... with those folk in mind, I have created a playable chess variant which is completely pure, and I'm calling it............... 'Logic Chess'.
It is played on a standard chess board with standard pieces and straight-forward rules, so complaining will no longer be necessary.
Rules of the game:
Pawns move the same as in standard chess, but only one square at a time - this eliminates en passant captures. Also, pawns reaching the 8th rank will not be promoted.
Knights, Bishops, Rooks and Queens all move as in standard chess.
Kings move the same as in standard chess, but it is legal for them to enter or remain in check. There is no castling rule.
Each player takes it in turn to make a move and each player must move when it is their turn to do so. White always moves first, the same as in standard chess. There is no stalemate rule.
The game is over when:
1. A player captures their opponent's King.
2. A player successfully forces a pawn to the opponent's side of the board - i.e. - the 8th rank.
3. One player loses on time, the same as in standard chess.
4. Both players agree to a draw.
5. Both players only have a King remaining on the board and no other pieces - a draw.
And finally, here is the starting position of the game:
ProfObvious, you don't really need to ask these questions, because if you actually think about all the information on this page, most of the answers will become obvious. It's elementary, Watson.
A few questions:
(0) How many games have you played with these rules meanwhile? How well have they worked out?
(1) Have you tried to formulate the rules without reference to "standard chess" - i.e. as a purely logical system which can be understood without prior (chess) knowledge?
(2) Why bother with rules 2-5?
(2a) Who needs a draw? Alternative: a game could be defined as being "undecided", until/unless it's won according to rule 1; Play continues as long as -- or resumes as soon as -- legal moves are made (?).
(2b) Similarly, why bother with "time out"? This implies a time rule (and probably a clock) which you don't need in your rules (you could consider this a practical matter that the players should agree on, outside of your logical rules).
(2c) Why should there be special consideration of the 8th rank (there's no promotion, after all, so it would seem consistent to just say that rule 1 defines the end of the game)?
(3) Why the new starting position? It moves the pawns up to the third rank, which compensates for eliminating the 2-move opening moves - but they haven't always been a part of chess... I suspect you had other ideas when inventing your new starting position?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing as much as trying to understand and appreciate your thinking!
BTW: I found your rules while searching for a purely logical, i.e. symbolic, mathematical and/or formal version of the rules of ("standard") chess, something like the Tromp & Taylor rules for Go, but so far, I've come up with empty hands :-/ You wouldn't know of any other attempts along these lines, would you? ;-)
En passant seems logical to me. It represents the act of swinging a sword, and landing a fatal blow, even though the enemy pawn tried to run past and avoid the fight. But pawn promotion does seem a bit odd.
No thanks. I don't play chess variants, and that incIudes Chaturanga. I'm ok with the standard game - it's really hard to argue with 1500 years of evolution.
Your game doesn't seem logically. If you want a different kind of chess. Refer its origin game from my country: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaturanga
If you insist on being guided only by the laws of logic, then you would eliminate the English language.
Personally though, I like the cIassical game the way it is!

price, location
only had bacon available on one day out of the four for breakfast
Great breakfast.
View from the balcony
Air-conditioning was extra.
The only advantage is that the hotel is on the very first line, just a hundred meters from the sea.
Everything was awful, this hotel spoiled our holiday completely. As we arrived, the flush-down function of the toilet was broken, we had to wait till the next day before it was fixed, and they wouldn't give us another room. The room itself is pitifully small and rather dirty, sand all over the floor, the sanitary badly cleaned, the furnishing SO aged and partly broken: no knobs on the wardrobe-doors, all the hooks upside-down because some of the screws went lost, very uncomfortable beds and pillows, peeling paint on the walls and ceiling... The conditioner is for additional charge and don't even think of not taking it and hoping, that an open balcony will do - NO! It is SO noisy outside, that even with closed windows and balcony-doors it is impossible to sleep. There is no real shower-cabin in the bathroom, there is a shower-head protruding out of the bathroom-wall and around it you'll find a railing on which a curtain hangs, or in some rooms even no curtain at all and the water splashes all over the bathroom! One day we came back to our room after spending half of the day on the beach and wanted to take a shower, but there were no hot water!!! We waited for 6 (!!!!!) hours before they fixed it. Our skin got all raw from the sea-salt, and the applied sunscreen, and sand. We never got any compensation for all our suffering there. This place is a real wreck! Breakfast is very poor! Beverages are filthy. If you want some eggs or bacon, you have to ask the server for it, because the containers, where they should be, are always empty, fruit is only available very early in the morning, they simply don't refill the bowls during the breakfast, pastry is stale and over sugared - yuck! Be ready to wake up at 6:30 during your holidays, if you want to get some food (of lowest quality) for breakfast (which starts at 7). We stayed there for 5 nights and they never changed the bedding, the towels were only changed twice.
Everything was just perfect! We stayed in Hotel Mondial in the end of May. The appartment is very beautiful and comfortable. The place is gorgeous!! The hosts are very nice and kind people. We had a great time and are hoping to come back to Hotel Mondial one day;)
Breakfast, free bicycles, close to the sea, great personal, value
Shower room, no direct bus to the airport, noisy
the waiter is very kind hearted.the hotel's beach is very good.if i go there another time,i will chose it again.
it is very far from centro.
comfortable bed nice sea view clean rooms
We booked at the last moment using the app Tonight and we got the excellent price. The breakfast was OUTSTANDING, with home made cakes and really very rich choice!
The room was less than basic, more close to 1 star

Office Holiday Gifts?
Looking to send out nice gift baskets. Tired of Harry & David, hate Snookies Cookies. Sent out Dean & Deluca gift sets last year. Are there any other places I should check out that delivers in the LA area?
Thank you!
We've been getting a lot of baskets from City Bakery at our office. Make sure to have them put in the pretzel rolls as just cookies are kind of rich. They're certainly an improvement over the horrible Snookie's and Mrs. Beasley's.
Also Beverly Hills Cheese Store makes amazing baskets -- the best I can remember getting at the office.
re: Chowpatty
second City Bakery. i was in NYC last month, and my cousin took me here. It's good eats.
There are many national purveyors of mail/web order food that deliver all over the country, which includues Harry & David and Dean & DeLuca which you mention. So if your criteria is just "will deliver to L.A. area" you might want to post a query on the General Topics board, where web/mail order is frequently discussed.
Most of the mail order sources are pretty terrible. I would be pleased to get gifts from Clementine, Joan's on Third, K Chocolotier, L Artisan du' Chocolate, cheese store, or interesting wine or booze.
Hell--I'll take meat from Harvey Guss too.
Beverly Hills Cheese Store. I can't imagine anything better than getting one of those. I might just give one of those to myself. It'll make me feel popular.
re: Francesca
Send cookies and milk from
located right here in LA!
My favorite cookies are
cinnamon sugar and chocolate decadence! But you should call them and ask about their special holiday cookie selection!
although i find their cookie quality to be somewhat uneven, (it is always good, or very good, or excellent)
maison du pain
on pico east of hauser.
Folks, please help us keep this board focused on finding great chow in the LA area. If you've got suggestions for non-LA mailorder sources, or general gift ideas, please post to the threads on the General Topics board. Thanks.
Boule does local delivery, and does package things very nicely.
Jin Patisserie also ships things, but it's too late if you want to get things out before Christmas.
re: jacinthe
Boule... Even though their sweetie snackems are extra good, service is terrible. I really need to send couple more gifts but they are out for good. I do not like to be negative specially in this season but... Just a fair warning.

Ganni Spring Summer 2015
Copenhagen Fashion Week is a feast for the style-hungry - especially for the Spring / Summer shows. Can you think of a better city (supposedly the happiest city to live in, on earth!) than this Danish one: warm, sunny and green, filled with tall, tanned blondes nipping from show to show on their bicycles? And all clad in supremely sexy, scandi-cool ensembles, androgynous Acne pieces and teeny-tiny minimal jewellery. We fell a little in love, and here's just a few reasons why...
1. Ganni SS15 (pictured above)
After following a concrete hotel staircase and emerging onto a fresh, clay tennis court we were greeted by handsome Danes, dishing out sophisticated (read: vodka) slushies in paper cups. We took a courtside seat as ushers in tennis whites beavered around seating bloggers, editors and journos. The collection was a sports luxe fantasy: mod-ish zippered jackets in crisp white, navy cotton pencil skirts and paper thin trenches were offset by models in floating garden print gowns which were as pretty as they were nonchalantly cool. These clothes weren't about trends - they were about luxurious basics that looks effortlessly cool: the definitive Danish look we soon learnt.
2. We went Peanuts for Peter Jensen
One of our favourite designers - London-based, Danish-born Peter Jensen - took us out for a long and languid dinner at the Nordic restaurant Kjøbenhavn. We ate a menu of Peter's favourite foods (fresh spring peas were a recurring feature), with each dish based on a different element of the city from its bridges to its numerous rivers. We were all there to celebrate his new collaboration PJ x Peanuts: a range of clothing, accessories and homewears all adorned with adorable girls from the cartoon strips, with Peter's trademark touch of quirky cuteness. We totally wanted to steal these pretty little plates.
3. Designer's Remix SS15
Designer's Remix Spring Summer 2015 [pics: theurbanspotter]
We were introduced to the wonders of Designer's Remix. These golden maidens stalked the catwalks like modern day Vermeer muses in soft organic linen, cotton and the odd pair of leather dungarees. We couldn't envy these milky skinned beauties and their minimal utility wear any more...
4. A tea party with Kranz & Ziegler's STORY jewellery
Meanwhile, at the Frederiksborg castle on the other side of town, a tea party fit for a queen (or, perhaps, a Dauphine who likes cake) tempted us somewhat. Between spectacular cakes and patisserie confections stood punky, boyish-looking models festooned in the new collections from Danish brand Story jewellery. Our favourite pieces were the delicate black diamond-like rings, and mini hoop earrings fit for a rock chick.
5. Flats, glorious flats!
Backstage at Ganni & Designer's Remix [pics: theurbanspotter]
Whilst we were most definitely impressed by the editors cylcing in their heels - we, and the catwalks, couldn't get enough of flats. Every kind of chunky sandal and sneaker imaginable helped to sum-up the modesty of androgynous chic that was huge in Copenhagen, both on and off the catwalk. Embrace the comfy flat! You don't need to tell us twice...
6. Baum und Pferdgarten
Baum und Pferdgarten Spring Summer 2015
More luscious sports luxe came in the shape of the Baum und Pferdgarten show. Soft neoprene sweatshirts looked adorable with floaty girly skirts whilst track pants came in the most sophisticated silks. If anything could convince you to add a few mannish touches to your look, it's these glossy girls in their messy up-dos. Chic.
7. Danish design (+ our uber cool hotel)
Hotel SP34
We gorged on Danish design and mid-century furniture at our beautiful little bolt-hole, the Hotel SP34. Every corner was elegantly rounded and we just couldn't get enough of the rough-hewn pottery. Can we go back now please?

Because in England, just hundred years before, every thief was hanged in the main square of the city, naked, and beaten. And a crowd of thousands will gather to look at him. This was thought to be a teaching lesson to the people, that if they do stealing, this will be the result. But finally they had to stop it because they found that people became so interested in looking that other people were cutting their pockets. What teaching? You are teaching by beating a thief and thieves are having a great day because all the crowd was so much interested in the kill, the punishment, they forget all about their pockets. Only when they looked afterwards their pockets were gone. So it was not only one pocket that was stolen, many pockets were stolen. So many people were doing stealing exactly on the spot. That's why the practice was stopped.
And my feeling is all our legal punishments are of the same kind. They don't stop anybody, they don't change the person, in fact they make the person more criminal. If you send a person for five years to jail there he finds more expert criminals. You are sending him to a university of crime. And after five years when he comes out, he is more clever, more cunning, and it will be more difficult to catch hold of him.
My approach is, a crime is something wrong with the psychology of the man. He should be treated just like any sick person. And unless you feel that he is healthy he should be kept isolated from the society, but no disrespect to his personality. It has to be made clear to him that, "Your act is just because of something is wrong with your mind and we are trying to change it."
So these people come here. I am perfectly available. They will not get their posts back, but they can be part of the commune. But the commune is not going to protect them against law. On the contrary, the commune is going to help the law against them. But we will plead to the courts that, "These people are mentally sick and punishment is not enough; it does not change anybody. Send them to psychiatric institutions, treat them."
So it is a little bit complex, but life is complex.
Bill Crown,
Associated Press, Portland.
Osho,I'm on kind of a tight deadline if you could give me a fairly brief answer I would appreciate it. I'm wondering whether the heavy security can end now, if you can disarm Rajneeshpuram?
Why not?
You want a small answers? Then just no!
That's it? Thank you.

Credulity Test – EuroGamer Edition January 19, 2011Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, polls, Sony Online Entertainment.
Tags: EuroGamer, Planetside, PlanetSide Next
With DC Universe Online launching, EuroGamer seems to be trying to suck up to Sony in general and SOE in particular in the grand tradition of online gaming journalism.
I already quoted the gem from the first interview.
The second interview… well, calling it an interview stretches the term… it is more "Quotations from Chairman Smed"… contains a look at what else might be coming out from SOE in the near future. And while it galls me a bit that EG wants to play along so badly that they count FreeRealms on PS3 as a new title (wasn't that supposed to ship concurrent with the Windows release originally?), for me the jaw dropper was this quote:
"And we haven't announced a release date for it but you can expect it… We're looking at late first-quarter, early second-quarter [2011]."
My first thought was "typo."
Surely they meant 2012 at the earliest.
But, no, the title of the whole interview is "Expect PlanetSide Next Q1/Q2," which I initially read as a date of "Next Q1/Q2″ but which I realized really meant 2011… this year… since the title of the project is "PlanetSide Next."
So somebody at EuroGamer thinks we'll be playing PlanetSide Next by, say, the end of May.
Really? They just took that statement and asked no questions? Journalism at its finest.
This, for me, flies in the face of the marketing ramp time requirements to launch a new title. Not that I would be shouted down if I suggested that SOE isn't the sharpest spoon in the drawer when it came to marketing. But still, the SOE of the last five years has been more about announce and delay, hype and silence (think The Agency), and not about hitting very aggressive dates.
When do you think we'll see PlanetSide Next?
- 1. Stabs - January 19, 2011
How were they even thinking of releasing it against their other Q1 release, DCUO, I don't know. So if we take Q1/Q2 to mean Q2 then it's possible, distinctly possible. They released DCUO practically without telling anyone, the TV advertising campaign Smokejumper has been talking about since November doesn't seem to have materialised, so sure, why not go for a hat-trick and screw up Planetside 2?
It's disappointing, they have some really good games developers but they couldn't sell food to the starving.
- 2. Old Tom - January 19, 2011
This leads me to believe that the changes for Planetside Next are minor in the extreme. Perhaps a quick repackaging and some server-side upgrades?
Would like to be wrong but …
- 4. redheadedtim - January 19, 2011
I've seen DCUO ads on TV. Not sure if that constitutes whatever "TV Ad Campaign" Stabs think hasn't happened. Perhaps there was talk of something more extensive than ads on tv? I don't recall the channel off hand. Probably USA, Spike, CBS, or SyFy if I saw it recently.
- 5. Jaggins - January 19, 2011
I loved Planetside in its prime. Maybe SOE will surprise us with a well executed new massive online FPS! (I can dream, right?)

finished quilt
It's a Hoot Baby!
Just popping in to let you know I am sharing a tutorial over at Moda Bake Shop today!
Check out more of this sweet quilt and leave a comment – please – over at Moda Bake Shop!
Doll Quilts
Hi there! To round out the dozen Christmas gifts I made this year, are three doll quilts! Nieces and my cousin's daughter were the happy recipients.
Sophia helped me with the pictures before Christmas –
Diamond in a square alternated with squares, in It's a Hoot fabrics, and quilted on a diagonal.
This one is random size strips of Freebird, and quilted with random diagonals.
Diamond in a square alternated with squares again, in Sweet Divinity, and quilted on the diagonals. I cut both of these on my Go! Cutter, and have been thinking I could cut kits if any of you are interested in making your own. They would be different fabrics some more scrappy like the first, and others more planned like the second. What do you think?
The girls all loved them, and were excited to … Read More »
More Christmas Presents!
Hi there! I have a bunch more table runners to share with you! Up first is one I made for my mom.
I used Dream On and my Go! Cutter to cut all the HST's. They sewed up in a hurry, just what I needed! I quilted with straight lines to compliment the geometrics.
This one I made for my Grandma -
The fabric is Botany, because my grandma loves to garden And I knew she would love the piecing details with the stars, so I took the extra time to piece all the flying geese.
My Aunt Karen has collected blue/white dishes for as long as I can remember -
Fabric is A Breath of Avignon, and the traditional stars suit the fabric perfectly, … Read More »
Teacher Gifts!
With our last day of school yesterday, I'm free to share some of the sewing I've been working on this last month! Teacher's are hero's in my eyes, and my girls' – they adore them. Last year with the book…we baked cookies and shared, but I had really wanted to give something quilty. So this year I've done it!
Freebird by Momo in simple strips, quilted with random diagonal lines.
Lollipop also in simple strips, quilted with random perpendicular lines.
Love in 4 1/2″ squares, quilted on diagonals.
My girls helped with cutting and layout of the pieces for each quilt, and Emmalie was particularly certain of which fabric group was for her teacher! (that was lollipop!)
There's more to come next week! Enjoy your celebrations ~
Lily & Will Commission Quilt – Complete!
These fabrics were begging for a traditional design, and so, I looked through traditional blocks to find the right combination for this quilt. In the end I decided on these:
It looks as though it is set on point, when in fact it is not! The blocks between the stars are four patches, with triangles in the corners to rotate. The blocks finished at 6″, and the quilt overall is 40″ square.
I just love the colors in this group!
I quilted tight, around a few of the stars. I really wanted it to be comfortable and not too quilted for the most part, but the straight lines were not enough between the blocks.
The borders also got special treatment. Swirls and loops to fill the space!
I am loving this quilt! I had so much … Read More »
Doll Quilt Finish
Much earlier in the year, as I was working on my Doll Quilt Swap, I made a bunch of disappearing 9-patch blocks. I was considering them for the background to the dresden plates, but decided on the plainer background, because the plates were lost on this busy background. I put it aside and didn't really even share it here. I wasn't sure how I wanted to finish it…but did begin collecting perle cottons for appliqué maybe, and hand quilting. I decided last week (inspired by the Festival) that hand quilting circles was my plan!
I used a variety of colors, from the colorful top, and a variety of circles from the kitchen. I learned how to properly hide knots, and really enjoyed the process!
Do you hand quilt at all? I'm curious to know if it's … Read More »
My Festival Quilt
The Festival continues to be amazing and well viewed! I hope you all are enjoying a bunch of traffic and comments on your posts. I finished my quilt I was hoping to share with you this week!
Spinning Pinwheels:
I had so much fun designing and making this quilt! It had been one of many designs in my arsenal waiting for just the right fabric, and when Sweet Divinity popped up – I jumped at the chance to make it!
I carefully cut and pieced triangles and strips for each block. I think my favorite part is that there are so many different places to look – each fabric offers a different focal point! Also, after nearly a year, I stippled this quilt! I had a block on free motion quilting, but this was just the right size to … Read More »
Boxed Charms Quilt
Hi there! Look what I pulled out of the dryer this morning – just in time to share over on Amy's blog! What I'm calling Boxed Charms Quilt in Amy Butler prints and Shot cottons. In an attempt to put some favorite prints in a quilt (novel idea – huh?) and an easy sewing project, I put this together.
It measures 40″x54″, perfect for a baby or toddler, and I lightly quilted it so that it's super snuggly!
The beauty of it being 40″ wide is the single piece of fabric needed to back it…I haven't made a quilt this size in a while! I am linking up to Amy's special Amy Butler Sew & Tell, and have listed it in my etsy shop.
You should check out all the Amy Butler … Read More »

Hi there! I've been working behind the scenes here on my challenge for the week – I hope you have gotten started on your challenge too! Today I am enjoying the last day with my girls, before 1st and 5th grade begins. How is the summer gone already!?
Over the weekend I received my Doll Quilt from Marilyn, aka Spiced Coffee on Flickr!
Look at this beauty–
I even hung it on the wall in our living room – the colors are a perfect compliment. Oh, and look at her beautiful hand quilting, and appliqué –
Marilyn also sent stickers for my kids, this fun book and adorable pot holders –
One of the potholders says, "When I learned to sew, I forgot how to cook!" and the other, "A clean house is the … Read More »

Balanced Connections Quilt & Pattern
Hi friends ~ I've had a full few days, getting this pattern ready, de-stashing, and upgrading my blog! What do you think? I'm really excited to learn more about this blog and all that it can do. I am also excited to show you my Balanced Connections quilt, I really love this design!
It's a little hard to see in this picture, but the binding on the right, that's my favorite part. I pieced one strip of each of the colors into the binding – the little bits of color are just what it needed! The throw finishes at 60″x72″ – officially my favorite size quilt.
Ella was "helping" me, and was popping her foot in when possible…I just love how the quilting shows up in this photo, and … Read More »

Purchase a couple of those air tight sandwich boxes and keep them in your fridge at work. Then go to ADSA or somewhere and buy a load of stuff for the week.

Then every lunch time simply make your sarnies or rolls. Same cost as "home made" without the bother of doing them at home and bringing them in which lets face it is a crap hobby.

How many terrorists were there? Did they number 20 as Maharashtra Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh told a press conference on Thursday? Or did they number many more? If two or three terrorists attacked the CST, how many terrorists were present at the Taj and Trident? Did the CST terrorists drop a grenade/explosive device at Dockyard Road on the way to the station? Or was someone else responsible for that act of terror which claimed three lives?

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - An explosive device found inside a backpack along a downtown Martin Luther King Jr. Day parade route was a credible threat capable of causing multiple deaths, the FBI said Tuesday.
The device was successfully disposed of by the FBI's explosive unit after the backpack was found on a park bench by a Spokane city employee about an hour before the parade was set to begin.
Frank Harrill, special agent in the charge of the Spokane FBI office, wouldn't discuss what specifically made the bomb so dangerous. But he said the investigation has become a top priority.
"It definitely was, by all early analysis, a viable device that was very lethal and had the potential to inflict multiple casualties," Harrill told The Spokesman-Review.
Harrill said the timing and placement of the device wasn't coincidental.
"I think the link to the Martin Luther King celebration and march is inescapable," he said. "At that point, it falls directly in the realm and sphere of domestic terrorism. Clearly, there was some political or social agenda here."
Ivan Bush, who works for Spokane Public Schools and has helped organize the march for more than 20 years, said he was pained by the news.
"Man, that's a sad testament," he said. "Here we are in the 21st century and these types of things are still happening. It just hurts."
The bomb was discovered at 9:25 a.m. in a Swiss Army-brand backpack that also contained two T-shirts.
Another explosive device was found March 23 beside the Thomas S. Foley U.S. Courthouse in the eastern Washington city. No arrests have been made in that investigation, Harrill said, adding that agents didn't know if the two incidents were related.
The FBI is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people responsible for placing the device found Monday.
Harrill said the people who discovered the backpack and brought it to the attention of police were the heroes of the day. Police quickly rerouted the parade and called for the bomb disposal unit, he said.

Grizzlies' Sam Young gets personal with visually impaired students
- Written by Kelley Evans

Second-year Memphis Grizzlies player Sam Young on Monday visited five visually impaired students at Treadwell Elementary School as part of the Read to Achieve Program.

"My brother is blind. He was born when I was around five or six years old. I had to deal with the fact that he can't see. I'm the oldest child of five. I had the responsibility that I had to take care of my younger siblings. And now that I'm older, and I have the chance to see how well he's done, I can help other kids and show them that there's hope."
Young read the Braille book, "The Black Book of Colors" by Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria. He also celebrated Valentine's Day with the students, handing out cupcakes along with Grizzlies backpacks and a copies of the book.
Before Young arrived the students practiced their sign language and discussed different aspects of their visual challenges with their teacher Vivian Redmond, who has been an educator for 31 years.
"I have been teaching the visually impaired here at Treadwell Elementary for seven years," said Redmond. "I make sure I work hard to provide my students with the tools they need to become self sufficient in this society."
When Young arrived smiles graced the faces of the students. They individually introduced themselves and then began reading the book together.
Young told the students about his younger brother, who is now a college student and has trained a Seeing Eye dog. The students' showed their interests with free-flowing questions. Young promised a return visit.
Along with Young came a walking-and-talking surprise, Memphis Grizzlies account executive, Jeremy Smith, who was one of Redmond's former students. Smith told the students that he had an accident as a child, which resulted in him being legally blind.
He offered words of encouragement as he explained that he finished high school, college and now drives.
"One day you'll be here talking to another class saying what I'm saying today," Smith said.

I also remember being like 4 or so getting really far on Donkey Kong at an old laundry mat down the road from my house when my parents took me with them. I feel pretty old when I see people saying a Pokemon game was their first game to beat lol. By the time Pokemon Red/Blu came out I had already beat multiple FF games, Zelda, ElderScrolls:Arena and all kinds of other games in between lol.

Very 1st video game I played and beat. I think I was around 7 or 8.
I played so many games when I was young I wouldn't be able to tell you for sure even if I tried. The first game I can remember beating would have to be the original Need For Speed: Most Wanted though.
I was a casual through 1989-2000. Never finished any game, then year 2000 made me a hardcore pro player from the mists of babylon. And, the first game ever I did beat was...
HIDDEN AND DANGEROUS. I was 10-11 at that time. At that point I probably had played hundreds of other games but never ever beat one. And it wasnt because I tried to beat them, it was more like, no I dont give a fuck about your hostage, Im gonna shoot that bitch anyway.
Umm. I can't recall the name of it. It was for the original nintendo. You played as a dragon and it was a vertical scroller. You got power ups that would give your dragon two heads or would turn him white and invincible.
What a great game...I would play that for days and days.
You now stand before the Countess.
A story of Firsts from around the world:
it was probably a SNES game cause NES games were near impossible, but i am proud to say i beat Contra without the konami code

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif insisted Wednesday that the Obama administration mischaracterizes concessions by his side in the six-month nuclear deal with Iran, telling CNN in an exclusive interview that "we did not agree to dismantle anything."
Zarif told CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto that terminology used by the White House to describe the agreement differed from the text agreed to by Iran and the other countries in the talks -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia, China and Germany.
"The White House version both underplays the concessions and overplays Iranian commitments" under the agreement that took effect Monday, Zarif said in Davos, Switzerland, where he was attending the World Economic Forum.

The hatred toward Israel by Mullah B. Hussein Obama, our Marxist Muslim (Sunni kind) from Kenya, has been the cause of his temporary "peace" deal with the Shia Iran. After Israel "has been wiped off the surface of the Earth" he will then deal with Iran. Obama's intended arming of the Al-Qaeda led Sunni rebels fighting Syria's Shia government is a part of Obama's war against Israel.
Rich; I think much of what we are calling stupid actions by the Obama cadre, are actually intended consequences.
Much of what is being done is designed to bring us down and put us under control of a very strong central government.
Just surprising and terribly disappointing that so many in this country support what they are doing.
John Fraud Kerry launched his political career by selling out Vietnam Vets . . now he's sold-out America and Israel.
obama desperately needs a 'win', but this sell-out leads to a disaster only the 12th Imam, vacationing in a well for 1,200 years, would approve of.
At some point, Simple Incompetence just doesn't cover their inbred stupidity.
Where is the money coming from to get 10-20 million to DC or to maintain 1-2 million for an extended period.
It all comes down to logistics and we're not like the people on the left. When they march on DC less than a hundred out of a million miss work.
I have a small business and haven't taken a vacation since 2002. To attend this would cost a couple thousand dollars cause I'm to old to sleep in parking lots like unemployed nerds in the occupy wallstreet movement.
A large camp with at least cots will be a necessity for older folks, which most of us seem to be.
The truckers that were to tie up highways around DC failed because they didn't have the resources to drive heavy trucks for days without being paid. Somebody should have thought of this before hand and not just tried to run on emotion.
All us are hated by many of the lefties and security would be an issue for short and long term, Permits and many other things need to be covered.
Show me how we will do this without me having to sell a business that I've worked at since 1981 and I'm all for it.
Until then I will take what I can afford and spend it on the political campaigns that I think will do the most good.
What will it take to get ALL Patriot organizations to coalesce toward ONE concerted effort and make a statement to be heard around the world? I belong to many, and support even more with my dollars and my voice. Col Riley's OAS (Operation American Spring) is set for May 16 in DC. His goal is 10-20 million on the sixteenth with a force of 1-2 million to remain in non-violent, non-confrontational occupation of the city until our demands are met: immediate removal from office of all senior executives (starting with the POTUS) and representatives with a record of violating their oaths of office, betraying the trust of the People, and many other high crimes and misdemeanors. Can we all unite in this one push to save our Republic?
Why would they dismantle anything when they're being supplied with all they need to finish off their evil scheme? Besides, who would believe anything coming out of Obama's mouth? They are moving too fast with this lifting of sanctions not to have not had something previously in play. If you notice anything about evil, this is the way it works. It never gives you the whole story, it always leaves something out.
Who would ever thought that we would believe and Iranian diplomat over our elected president? Note I said elected not our.

Kerry needs a "coup," any kind of coup, for job justification. It doesn't matter who will be compromised. Israel's security is as trivial to the "regime" as Ambassador Steven's life and the three other lives were who perished with him in Benghazi. Now "they" want to blame him for being there. (to clean Hillary's slate)
If a collection of urine specimens was taken of Democrat politicos, the test results would reveal ice water.
Obama keeps looking at weather reports and his wrist watch....maybe the weather will warm-up and allow him to practice putting somewhere...anywhere. There's always Air Force 1, you know.

I bought 6 for my dining room and they look great! They are also very cushy and comfortable. People always ask where I got them.
Great chairs, really comfortable. Highly recommend.
This product is working well for the space. It is not of excellent quality but I expected that because of the price. The style is excellent. The chairs are looking good in the space.
These chairs have made a wonderful addition to our dining room. We ordered 6 and when we put them together the legs on all the chairs were slightly uneven (but it was a minimal issue) so we just added scuff pads to the legs and all was well. They are a wonderful accent piece and we have received numerous compliments on them. Love them and they were worth the price we paid!
