UPDATE II: Jeff Rand Receives 57-Month Sentence for Million-Dollar Oil, Gas Scam
by Gwen Moritz
Posted 8/27/2012 08:44 am
Updated 2 years ago
Even after declaring himself to be "an honest guy," Jeffrey Scott Rand was sentenced Monday morning in Hot Springs to 57 months in federal prison.
The former Arkansas resident was ordered to pay $7.92 million in restitution to 138 victims of his oil and gas scam, and his prison sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release.
U.S. District Judge Robert T. Dawson rejected pleas by Rand's attorney for probation and instead imposed the highest sentence recommended under the federal sentence guidelines. Dawson also ordered that Rand be taken into custody immediately and rejected his request to report to prison at a later date.
"Jeff Rand's fraudulent scheme preyed on investors, and he has now been sentenced to prison for his actions. This case shows that we will actively prosecute individuals that defraud investors through misrepresentations and deceit," U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge said in a written statement issued after the sentencing hearing.
Rand, dressed in a red striped golf shirt and light colored slacks, made a brief plea to stay out of jail.
"I received my first subpoena in this problem on Dec. 24, 2001," Rand said, an apparent reference to a Texas investigation that ensnared most of his family. For years he followed his lawyers' advice not to say anything, but eventually he "pled to the problem to stop the train. I'd had enough."
"I'm an honest guy," Rand told the judge. "I accept responsibility for this mess. I'm just praying I don't get put in jail. I've accepted responsibility to stop the train."
Rand is the sixth member of his immediate family to be sentenced for similar crimes. He lived in Hot Springs at the beginning of his criminal enterprise. He continued the scam in Houston and now lives in Washington state and, according to a memorandum filed by his lawyer, works as a "successful consultant" in the oil and gas industry.
Judge Dawson said the Rand case was the oldest criminal case on his docket and probably the oldest in the western district of Arkansas.
It has been almost four and a half years since Rand, 49, was indicted on 25 counts of securities fraud and mail fraud, and almost six years since he was the subject of a cease-and-desist order by the Arkansas Securities Department.
He made a plea deal in June 2011 in which 24 counts were dismissed, but in pleading guilty to one count of mail fraud he stipulated that his crimes involved between $2.5 million and $7 million from between 10 and 50 victim. Judge Dawson commented that the plea deal worked to Rand's benefit.
"I think the actual number of victimes was more than 50 and the actual loss was more than $7 million," the judge said.
Rand faced up to 20 years in prison; federal sentencing guidelines recommended 46 to 57 months. Rand's attorney, Morse U. Gist Jr. of Hot Springs, asked Dawson to sentence his client to probation, suggesting that Rand's continuing employment as a consultant was so lucrative that he might be able to pay the court-ordered restitution in fairly short order.
"I know the court doesn't see that often... but I think that even if the court were to order the full $8 million, that would be something he'd be able to pay in the next year or two," Gist told the judge.
But Rand won't be returning to the oil and gas industry anytime soon. Even during his three years of supervised release following prison, Rand was ordered not to engage in the sale of oil or gas leases without the express permission of federal probation authorities.
On Aug. 16, Gist filed a motion seeking to delay the sentencing hearing until the conclusion of his personal and corporate bankruptcy cases in Texas. There is, Gist wrote, "still remaining a certain amount of funds in possession of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court," and he argued that the restitution paid to victims through the bankruptcy procedure should be considered before sentencing.
Eldridge, U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Arkansas, objected to the delay, pointing out in his response that Rand's bankruptcy and that of his Wave Energy Corp. were involuntary. No victims will receive anything from Rand's personal bankruptcy, and any money coming out of Wave Energy's bankruptcy is "unlikely to compensate the victims in any substantial way, would not compensate any victims who did not make claims, and cannot in any way be characterized as a voluntary restitution by Jeff Rand."
Pre-Sentence Memorandum
A pre-sentence memorandum that Gist filed in federal court on Friday noted that Jeff Rand was born in Conway to Tony and Mary Ann Rand on July 6, 1963, and that he has four brothers. It does not, however, include the fact that Tony Rand and all four of those brothers are currently serving prison sentences -- one in a Texas state prison and the others in federal prisons -- for similar oil and gas scams.
Gist wrote that Rand had resisted voluntary bankruptcy because he "still had hopes of repaying his investors without going into bankruptcy." When the involuntary bankruptcy cases were brought in Texas, Gist wrote, he "completely cooperated" and more than $29.5 million has been distributed from the Wave Energy bankruptcy and more than $6.3 million from Rand's personal bankruptcy.

Pyrotechnic ProjectionComments15
this wiki
Redirected from Pyrotechnic Plasma
|Pyrotechnic Projection
Jubilee (Marvel) can instantaneously create a pyrotechnic display; fireworks.
Power/Ability to:
Generate fireworks
Power to generate fireworks. Sub-power of Volatile Constructs and Plasma Manipulation.
Also Called
- Firework Generation
- Pyrotechnic Plasma
- Pyrotechnics
The user's body attracts ambient electricity and gaseous chemicals to produce multicolored fireworks. The user concentrates to form the fireworks around their palms. By combining electricity and different gaseous chemicals to produce different colors. Though this is mostly cosmetic, and in any case users don't consciously choose what color their fireworks will be.
Can throw these fireworks like dazzling streamers. In its first stages it can only make blinding light and a deafening noise, making it only a useful distraction tool. Once the power develops further the fireworks add an explosive element. In theory the users may cause the user could cause explosive forces ranging from snap rocks to atomic bombs
At the basic level fireworks detonate either by contact or after a specified time, such as four seconds or more. At the advanced level users can control the amount of time before detonation and even force of the firework. Master level can mentally detonate the firework, and even affect the color of the fire work (by containing the gasses required for the color near their body until needed). Although the latter ability is arguably the most difficult ability.
- The user can create fireworks for display.
- User can create multicolored fireworks.
- Users can use this ability as an distraction to the opponent.
- Users can shoot up fireworks into the sky.
- Users can attract a person or a group of people or animals, by displaying fireworks hence, getting their attention. This may be the help of Beacon Emission.
- Energy Blasts
- Missile Generation
- Another application through practice or shear force of will is controlling the shot. Very rare ability, mostly achieved through working in concert with someone using Air Manipulation or Telekinesis.
- Can use fireworks to simulate flashbang grenades, temporarily disabling targets.
- Fox-Fire Manipulation
- Plasma Generation
- Sound Generation
- Volatile Constructs
- May be inaccurate until mastered.
- May cause unwanted side-effects, like an accidental fire.
- May need to beware of any mirrors or a reflective attack.
Known Users
- Jubilee (Marvel)
- Heatblast (Ben 10)
- Shen (Kung Fu Panda 2); via firework cannon

Virus, popularly understood in computer terminology, is that which has the corrupting influence. That which hinders, interrupts and sometimes totally destroys the files on a network files system which is accessed by another computer. Virus is a program that has the capacity to interfere and it can copy itself and infect a computer. When its host is taken to the target computer, it spreads from one computer to another. Once it seizes the computer, it proceeds to create its inherent nuisance value to the removable accessories like, a floppy disk, DVD, CD or USB Drive.
Some of the notable computer viruses are:
- Creeper (1971): This is perhaps the first ever noticed computer virus. It found its way to infect computers on ARPANET. This virus is mostly harmless.
- Elk Cloner (1982): Marketing Divisions of every computer company explains its 'fool-proof' systems to guard against viruses, but some viruses beat them all and establish their abodes within the computer systems. This virus is one of them that infected the boot sector of Apple II floppies.
- Jerusalem (1987): Discovered on October 1, 1987. On Friday the 13 1988, many companies and universities in a number of countries 'got acquainted' with the 'Jerusalem' virus. It destroyed many files when attempt was made to run the computer. Computers from Europe, the Middle East and America were affected. Its origin was supposed to be in a Hebrew University but in 1991 further light was thrown about its existence. Italy was the country of its first traces. It infects both .EXE and .COM files. It considerably slows down the machine. Identify the virus by noticing two lines on the monitor.
- The Morris Internet Worm (1988): This is known as the grandfather of computer worms. This infects the UNIX system and was famous for its "accidental" capacity to do extreme harm to the systems.
- Melissa (1999): This 20th century virus is the most dangerous one, being a Word macro category. It reaches out and spreads through e-mails sent to contacts from the address books of the infected users. With the single click of the mouse, thousands of e-mails are sent and this virus is capable of causing damage of colossal magnitude.
- ILOVEYOU (2000): "Beware, before you walk on the path of "I Love You", This virus has led many computers to the grave!" This is a fast spreading virus identified ever, and its channel is through e-mail. It arrives as a downloadable enclosure sent by a known person, from the contact list of the receiver of the mail. It was detected for the first time in Philippines on May 4, 2000. On the very first day, about 10% of the internet users were affected. Its arrival channel was through an e-mail attachment which said, "LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs". Upon activating, it quickly spread to all files on the host.
- Nimda (2001): This virus employs all sorts of methods to establish its authority and does its ill-conceived job fast and most effectively. Its area of influence is wide and it is one amongst the most feared viruses.
- Blaster (2003): Attacks the vulnerability of the Windows operating system. It arrives with a warning of shutdown and thus users have the clue of its presence
- SQL Slammer (2003): This spreads very fast. It causes infection in servers running Microsoft's SQL Server Desktop Engines.
- Sasser (2004): Sasser's playing field was a superfluous overflow and from there it spread by reaching out to port 445 on Windows systems networks. It created total chaos and the systems either crashed or restarted.
Computers provide platform for several 'actors' (devises) to play. With the devises lacking a fool-proof anti-virus system, the computer is mostly at the receiving end. It becomes vulnerable to virus attacks. Another major threat is the availability in abundance of duplicates of every computer-related product.

In order to develop a podiatric orthopaedic training simulator the obstacle of simulating podiatric bone surgery must be overcome. In order to simulate this surgery appropriately, it is necessary to be able to cut through a virtual representation of a patient's foot on-screen in real-time. We investigate several methods of cutting through simulated objects in general, and evaluate their usefulness in simulating real-time interactive bone surgery. We determine that none of these conventional methods are fully suitable and instead propose, develop and test a method using planar slicing of polyhedral mesh geometry.

As is often the case in life, the simplest things are often the best. This applies to exercise too. For example, one of the best forms of exercise,
running, is a direct outgrowth of one of the first things we learn to do—walk. Also running, often forbidden as small children (as in "I told you kids, no running!"), can reap great physical benefits as we get older.
Indeed, along with
swimming, running offers one of the best overall workouts. But running does have its drawbacks. Prolonged running, especially on hard surfaces, can wreak havoc with your lower body. Unless you have an indoor track available to you, extremes of weather and temperature can complicate or curb even the most ambitious running program.
Never one to overlook a potential market, the exercise machine industry has responded with all types of indoor running machines. One that continues to grow in popularity is the home treadmill. Why? Here are three key reasons:
One of the biggest decisions for prospective buyers is whether to purchase a motorized or a non-motorized treadmill. What is the difference? Basically, with a motorized treadmill, you have to keep pace as the machine's motor moves the treadbelt (at a speed you electronically set). With a non-motorized treadmill, you push the belt with your feet, so you only go as fast as you push.
There are other differences as well. For one, non-motorized treadmills are much more affordable. Most are under $200.. Conversely, quality motorized models start at about $1,500 and can go as high as $5,000, depending on the features you are looking for. Non-motorized treadmills also take up much less space and, theoretically, can help you burn calories more efficiently, since
supply the muscle power to move the treadbelt.
Alas, however, this last fact is not necessarily true. Because
supply the muscle power, unless you are in good shape, you tend to move slower and tire more quickly. As a result you may actually burn fewer calories. Non-motorized models also have other drawbacks. Aerodynamics dictate that to get a non-motorized treadmill going, it has to be tilted on an incline. This can make running difficult if you are out of shape or not used to running. So, you derive less benefit. Finally, as you tire on a non-motorized treadmill, you will tend to push harder on one leg. This can make the motion of the treadmill choppy and harder to run on.
What is the bottom line? Unless you are in very good physical condition, it is generally better to buy a motorized rather than a non-motorized treadmill. If you do go the motorized route, here are some variables you might consider:
In conclusion, here are three points: First, try to negotiate a month's free trial before purchasing a treadmill. Second, consider the purchase of a used treadmill. Check your local want ads and local health clubs (many upgrade equipment regularly and need to sell old equipment). Finally, as always, before beginning any new exercise program, get approval from your doctor.

Gratitude seems to be on everyone's lips these days, and not just because of the holiday. We are urged to keep gratitude journals, write letters of gratitude and deliver them on gratitude visits, and find ways to integrate gratitude into elementary school curriculum, and all for good reason. Being able to feel and to express gratitude has been shown to make us both subjectively happier and mentally healthier (Seligman, Steen, Park & Peterson, 2005). But does gratitude practice work for everyone?
A study published earlier this year by Chen, Chen and Tsai (2012) in the International Journal of Psychology explored "boundary conditions" for gratitude, conditions that might impede its effectiveness in promoting well-being. Using a sample of Taiwanese college students (median age of about 18 1/2 years) and a definition of gratitude by McCullough et al as a "general tendency to recognize and respond with grateful emotion to the roles of other people's benevolence in the positive experiences and outcomes that one obtains" (as cited in Chen, Chen & Tsai, 2012, p. 382), the researchers found that subjects who were ambivalent about emotional expression were less likely to experience the improved emotional well-being that gratitude is supposed to bring.

Luck Distribution
Jan 10, 2013
General Nonsense
I realize that everything I say in this post can be explained by confirmation bias and selective memory. But that's the part I find interesting. So here we go.
I have a hypothesis that everyone is born with the same amount of luck, possibly because we are a computer simulation, but that's not my point today. My point is that luck doesn't appear to be spread evenly across a person's life. Some people use up all of their luck early in life and die young. Some people start out life in bad circumstances and finish strong.
For example, Lance Armstrong had an amazing life until the doping allegations. Steve Jobs was on top of the world but died young. Magic Johnson was frickin' Magic Johnson until he got infected with HIV. John F. Kennedy was the fornicator in chief until someone shot him in the head. If the pattern holds, I give Justin Bieber a year before he lands in jail.
On the flip side, Halle Berry slept in her car at one point in her early life. Later she won an Academy Award. Oprah had a rough childhood but finished strong. And so on.
You can probably think of lots of people who violate my hypothesis, apparently experiencing continuous good luck or continuous bad luck throughout their entire lives. But my observation is that people who have consistently bad luck with money, for example, are often having more than their share of sex and/or love, and vice versa. And famous people have more than their fair share of depression and mental illness. According to researchers who study happiness, money doesn't change your enjoyment of life that much. People who look extraordinarily lucky might be a lot less lucky than they appear to be.
Further complicating my analysis is the fact that people don't always grab the opportunities that luck provides. Some struggling folks might also be the luckiest, but it won't show if they don't take advantage of the luck when it wanders into their lives. Other people might be aggressive about exploiting the crumbs of luck they find, making it seem as though they have extra luck. Serial entrepreneurs come to mind.
Personally, I've been unusually lucky in my career, but if you factor in my childhood, and calculate the average, my total lifetime luck would be about average.
I'm curious about whether you perceive luck the same way. Taking into consideration your
life, professionally and personally, has your luck been about average?

emily, yes, if you have access to school, and if there are any jobs available where you live other than subsistence farming. That's the luck part, many people in other parts of the world don't even have the opportunity to go to school, by the chance of where and when they were born.

Much of success is not actually luck, but hard work, as you yourself must know since you spent long hours drawing out comics by hand in the old days before you could do them on a computer. Life is about how we use the cards we're dealt. Instead of being jealous that others got dealt better hands, we need to rise above our !$%*!$%*!$%*!$ Stay in school, study hard, do the best you can at whatever jobs you get, and you will get somewhere in life. You can work your way up if you impress others and make the right connections. But sitting in your cube complaining about how boring your job is, or at the fast food place flipping burgers, even if it is boring, is not likely to impress anyone.

Ryosuke, no it doesn't ring true, because probability doesn't work like that. You're basically saying that each type of event has a set number of times it can happen, so when it happens to one person it becomes less likely to happen to everyone else because one got used up. In fact probability places no limits. An unlikely event can happen lots of times in a row or all at the same time to lots of people for no reason. A likely event may not happen to you for a long time.

I've got a similar but more sinister theory. We live in a average world where things happen on probabilities. So, if someone other than you have something bad, your having the same bad thing ought to diminish, otherwise the probability would not be constant. It would make you a very very bad person, but does ring true, doesn't it ?

I could have written this post many times in my life, meaning I agree and have had the save theory. I started off with some very bad luck that would have been deadly multiple times over even 50 years earlier (I'm 39 now). But then I've had quite a run of good luck since my teens that would leave most people envious - so good that I sometimes think the world is a simulation meant to test and entertain (not please), with me at the center. It probably feels the same way to almost everyone.
Good post! Ha, confirmation bias.

I don't personally believe in 'luck'. My BS is in Math, I have an MBA, and I work on databases (creating, fixing, etc) for a living, so I'm a pretty much hard numbers kind of guy, and I'm especially tuned into patterns (I was an intelligence analyst during the VietNam War in the USAF looking for patterns). However, I sincerely doubt there's a 'randomness' to life that we label as good luck or bad luck or coincidences. I drive approximately 100 miles each day for work, and have been doing so for at least 20 years for all kinds of jobs in all directions on all different types of roads. I experience approximately 70% red/30% green lights regardless of time of day, roads traveled, direction, etc. It's been consistent since I started noticing the pattern years ago. Also my wife and I become quite unemployed in late 2008 at the depth of the recession. We should have lost our house, etc, but somehow, funds or income streams arrived that were for the most unexpected or unplanned, and I noticed that pattern too, I've always been able to pay my bills on time no matter what the !$%*!$%*!$%*! (I've had debt, of course, but I've always met at least the minimum payments). I play bridge a lot with friends and I understand the distribution numbers. My average bridge hand using strictly card value count (and not suit distribution which is a variable) is about 7.5 over hundreds of hands. Any bridge player who understands numbers should know it should average 10. Why am I averaging 7.5? It's not luck, it's not coincidence. But it's not long term average. Finally, I've learned how to flip pennys (or quarters too!) from my palm, where if I know which side is up, I can predict better than 50%(around 60-70%) which side will land up. Patterns, there's more to this than some simplistic concept of luck.

Talk to the average orphan in India or Cambodia about how everyone is born with the same amount of luck. Then go bathe in open sewers for awhile, because that's what many of them do every day. But I suppose they have lots of opportunities they're just not taking advantage of because, you know, they like bathing in open sewers. What a self-absorbed, asinine post.

To the extent that I agree with Scott's hypothesis, I think it can be explained in great part by reversion to the mean, whether intentional or accidental.

[Actually, the baseline happiness in those 3rd world nations is about the same as ours. -- Scott]
Happiness isn't an objective metric. People can adapt to to amazingly bad situations, and I don't know that a person's happiness has anything to do with their luck. If you ask a Muslim woman whether she's happy, unhappy, or average, she might answer in the context of being a Muslim women, and say average... whereas, it's possible she's endured a level of misery rarely imagined in industrialized western countries. Sold into marriage at 10 years of age -- basically enslaved, raped, and beaten at every disagreement throughout her life. Nonetheless, I've known Arab women that seemed to think "that was the way the world is" and maintain a sense of national pride, satisfaction with her religious, and joy in her family and culture.
(My father worked in Saudi Arabia for an oil company and I lived in that country for 9 years. While I won't pretend to be an authority on the Arab world, I have had many Arab friends and an uncommon level of exposure to their world.)

Scott, just a quick logical exercise.
You do not believe in free will so we cannot make choices, they are made for us.
If everyone has the same amount of net luck, then we would begin and end in the same place, the path can be different.
We are all born and we all die, therefore we all begin and end in the same place.
Your theory is logically possible, but my unfree-will chooses to think it is total bs.

I think this particular type of superstitious thinking is common enough among very successful people. Apparently Elvis got into a lot of spiritual mumbo jumbo in the 70s because he wanted to know why he'd been so successful - why the universe or God had chosen him to be 'Elvis' and not someone else. I suspect Dilbert's massive success is fueling a similar misfire in Scott's brain when he thinks back over his own life. Just my 2c of course...

It all depends on the definition of "luck".
If you mean what happens to us that is *completely* out of our control, then I agree: lifetime luck distribution is not even.

not sure what scott is trying to accomplish but i have to flat out reject the idea he actually believes what he is spreading.
the luck he describes is a combination of random external factors outside control merged with personal expectations.
i have seen plenty of dilbert cartoons mocking superstitious luck worldviews to know he doesnt think its that simple.
merging personal expectations (which fuels drive) with external things outside control into one magic "luck" factor seems more like a way to get blog hits by letting ppl swim in the dreck or point out its fallacy.
for someone with high expectations, low points in life transform them into their greatness. for someone with low expectations, low points in life set the room temperature.
the idea all ppl receive equal amounts of luck can only be satire (atleast from scott). even using the witchdoctor definition given in scotts post.
His final question "Has your luck been about average?" is more of a window into a responders soul than a erudite dialogue of some subject matter.
Once he knows your perceived luck all he needs next is your priorities. Then he sells your personal data to real estate agents or loan officers to mine your home equity based on your calculated net worth.
If you say your luck is amazing, and rate personal wealth as your top priority...
what would be a good blog subject to peer into ppls attitudes on the connection between wealth and someones value as a human being? I mean if a person doesnt have a million dollars in the bank they might as well kill themselves for being so worthless and wasting their life. Anyone with any sense and basic humanity will be a millionaire by age 30.
I wonder what an FBI team could determine about a persons blog history here. Especially someone who often gets into scrapes with other posters. I can see it now, Scott at home creating complete psych profiles on each blogger. Spinning his web of svengali magic.
Maybe today he woke up and asked himself: Do my customers think they are responsible for their own success? I have a cartoon idea and i want to be on the right side of the punchline to resonate with them.

Agree. Luck/randomness plays vital part. Hindu philosophy says, Pain comes after happiness and vice versa, where as chinese says, pain and pleasure are inseperable, pain contains pleasure and vice versa. Unfortunately, we seldomly look beyond people who have some wherewithal, millions of people struggle to survive, for them, luck means survival. Context change with !$%*!$%*!$%*!$ Few outliers can always be spotted from crowd, but if you believe in theory of karma, You are supposed to work without anticpating the return, the root cause is luck. So yes, normal people in late 20th and early 21st century have higher luck as compared to the previous generations. Except biological events/physionomy/major calamity you may increase your luck by being exposed to more random event. Unfortunately knowledge to use intellegence comes from tad luck and more experience. And till the end of life, one can not determine whether he is lucky or not, only we can provide some statstical reasoning, an average or standard deviation but not certainity.

When we see Tom Clancy's name attached to a military shooter, we automatically start to think tactically. Stacking up to breach doors, using gadgets to spy on enemy patrols, and swiftly taking down threats as a team plays a huge role in Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. But Ubisoft takes a small step towards the mainstream than say, the Rainbow Six series, and provides an accessible tactical shooter. You won't be ordering teammates to take cover, flank enemies, or give you cover fire (the AI does all that itself), unless you're coordinating with some co-op buddies through a headset.
Future Soldier comes in three meaty chunks, all with a huge emphasis on playing well with others. The entire story campaign can be played with four other buddies, Guerrilla takes your entourage through horde gameplay, and cooperative emphasis in multiplayer is a beast all its own.
The story takes place in the near future, in which soldiers have holographic HUDs, optical camo, and as many vision modes as any skull-polishing Predator. The (insubstantial) story leads to some real world locales, from Russia and the Middle East to snow covered mountains, deserts, and secret military installations. Though, for all the variety in the environments, the lack of any future elements conveys more generic sterility than a unique future world. It doesn't go as far as putting flying cars into cities, but it certainly doesn't push for visuals that look next-decade, which is a total letdown. Any technological advances outside our time-period are centered on the Ghost soldiers themselves, which shows in their gear and abilities.
Played alone, the campaign places you as the point man on an AI controlled four-man Ghost squad. Running from cover to cover, taking pot shots and tossing grenades is made easy with the intuitive control scheme, and the detailed animations combined with the shaky-cam cover transitions immerse you in the action. The computer-guided squadmates usually pull their own weight as they drop spotted enemies and generally avoid being a pain to deal with. There were a few annoyances, like AI forcing a good thirty second-long wait for one team member to stack-up for a door breach or the character collision getting screwy in narrow passageways, but they were few enough not to hinder the flow too much.
Ultimately, Future Soldier's campaign is best played with a full four-player party. Providing covering fire, using class specific gadgets, and synchronized killing all come into play. It's really gratifying to pull off coordinated enemy takedowns in stealth missions. Future Soldier makes this easy, with the "Sync Shot." Players tag up to four enemies to which each member of the squad targets. Once everyone is locked-on, the first person who shoots activates a short, slow motion window where the other players can squeeze off a kill shot. If it's done right the four enemies drop simultaneously, leaving your group to go along their merry way. It is extremely satisfying.
The campaign stays interesting by using a combination of gameplay styles mixed throughout. Stealthy "no alert" sections demand the most tactical planning, but there are also plenty of impressive setpieces that stoke that "videogame as action movie" feeling. So, you get a little bit of everything, and once you get through the eight-plus hour campaign, Future Soldier still has plenty to offer.
If you've played Mass Effect 3 (namely its multiplayer), Guerrilla mode feels similar. Up to four players capture designated areas and defend them against multiple waves of enemies. If enemy characters capture the headquarters or kill your entire team, the game is over, but completing the ten rounds provides with a hefty experience bonus that contributes to character customization unlocks for multiplayer. Guerrilla is a quick and fun alternative to the campaign and multiplayer modes, but lacks the enemy variety and challenge you'd get from other games, making it the weaker of the title's main modes.
Competitive multiplayer is a hefty piece of the Future Soldier pie, if not the heftiest. There are four game types: Conflict, Decoy, Saboteur and Siege. Every mode focuses on a variant of capturing objectives, which emphasizes the need to work as a team. Conflict finds opposing teams fighting over randomly spawning objectives, whereas teams must find the one true objective out of three in Decoy, and arming or disarming a bomb is the primary goal in Saboteur. Siege feels like playing an old school game of Counter-Strike, since teams are either defending or attacking an objective and there are no respawns. You could run out and try to score some kills before biting the bullet, and spend the rest of the round spectating as a result, but using gadgets and squad tactics really run their paces here.
Success in multiplayer depends on how much you can reveal about the other team and coordinate with the three soldier classes. Engineers equip themselves with multiple gadgets, like sensor grenades or UAV drones to spot out enemies and make them visible through walls. Stunning an enemy with a taser and hacking their data feed also reveal all other enemy squad member locations. Snipers get the expected long-range rifles, but also have unique, enemy-revealing scopes. Rifleman classes can get some impressive multi-kills simply by flanking spotted players with their assault rifles or provide cover fire with light machine guns. All these options offer gameplay alternatives that focus heavily on teamwork – an element that's lost with many other contemporary shooters.
A primary motivator for doing well in multiplayer is earning experience. Gaining levels allows you to purchase attachments and weapons in the robust character customization feature, Gunsmith. In Gunsmith, primary and secondary weapons stylishly explode apart showing the various parts that can be swapped out for parts that fit your specific playstyle. Gunstocks can be replaced to add greater control or mobility; short barrels provide mobility while longer ones are more accurate, even the gas systems can be switched to affect the rate of fire. The level of customization gives a strong sense of ownership over your preferred weapon and being able to have complete control over the look and function of your loadouts makes you feel like a unique soldier on the multiplayer battlefield.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier feels like a welcome relief from the run-of-the-mill, run'n gun shooters. Co-op involves actual team coordination with the delightful full co-op campaign and horde modes, the team-focused multiplayer is a blast to play with friends and earning unlocks in the in-depth Gunsmith customization system is incentive enough for you to stick with these online modes. Although Ubisoft missed the mark in creating a genuinely unique, futuristic setting, the tactical, slow-paced gameplay and unique squad-based experience sets Future Soldier apart from the typical shooter.

I saw these stuffed animals in a stuffed basket at a store in Gamla Stan yesterday night after my supposed date night with the bf. Although they looked realistic in real life, US$80 is a tad too much to pay for sleeping beauty, don't you think?
Everything About Me is Fake And I'm Perfect
Cat is so cute. ^ ^
How cute! But I prefer real animals… even if they can be annoying, they are irreplaceable :) http://www.modeuncover.com
they are really funny,my friends used to have one in their house, looks so realistic!
i rather have my own huge 65 kg. dog sleeping in his basket! he eats too much, he snores too much, he looses too much hair, he catches hedgehogs and he can smell like a wet dog! but i love him and i cannot get enough of his huge puppy eyes

If you're looking for gorgeous sports bike styling but without the extreme performance and running costs, the Kawasaki Ninja 250R is just what the doctor ordered. Featuring a perky little 250cc engine, there'll be no feeling that the bike is trying to throw you off like a raging bull, but you'll still have all the fun of responsive throttle and swift acceleration. If you're needing something a little more attractive to do the daily commute on, this is the ideal contender as it's not too bad on the fuel and it's far lighter and easier to navigate through the twists and turns of the city centre. So whether you're an expert or a novice, this is a great little machine for the everyday slog.
As you would expect of a bike that is ridden every day, there will be a heightened chance of wear and tear depending on how hard you ride the bike. The elements will also play an important role in how quickly your machine's parts last, since corrosion is one of the most common causes for parts to end up disintegrating. If these factors are allowed to thrive and get worse, you'll end up having to deal with both malfunctions and break downs that will see your bike costing you a fortune in garage repairs. The best way to prevent this from happening is by keeping on top of your maintenance routine before your machine can get to this stage.
For those that don't have the cash to be spending on a professional garage service, the only remaining option is home maintenance. Now, this may sound far more difficult than it is, and you'll soon realise this after reading through the manual. This is a guidebook that will show you the basics of motorcycle maintenance all the way up to the most complex engine repairs, all without confusing you in the process. You needn't have had any previous experience with motorcycle maintenance either, as you'll find all the information you need and techniques laid out in a simple, yet thorough manner.
After a few months of carrying out your bike's services at home with the manual, you'll begin to get the hang of maintenance and repair so that your machine is running like a dream. This will enable you to cut down the amount of time you spend waiting for your bike to be repaired and more time to ride. On top of this, you'll be saving a considerable amount of cash each month from simply removing the garage service from your life, so what better reason do you need to invest in the Ninja 250 manual today?

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- Pitkin County authorities have arrested a third suspect in connection with the murder of an Aspen socialite.
The Aspen Daily News reports 56-year-old Katherine M. Carpenter was arrested Saturday in the death of 57-year-old Nancy Pfister. She is being held on charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
Pfister's body was found in an upstairs closet at her home Feb. 26.
On March 3, authorities arrested 65-year-old William F. Styler III and 62-year-old Nancy Christine Styler at a lodge in Basalt, where they were staying after apparently moving out of Pfister's home Feb. 22. They are expected to be formally charged Monday with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.
Pfister was the daughter of the late Betty and Art Pfister, longtime prominent Aspen residents who co-founded the Buttermilk ski area.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) - A person familiar with talks says the Buffalo Bills are close to completing negotiations to sign free-agent quarterback Kevin Kolb. ESPN.com first reported that a deal between the two sides was close Saturday. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of discussions. Kolb has six seasons of NFL experience and spent the past two injury-filled years with the Arizona Cardinals. He managed to start only 14 games in Arizona, and was released March 15. The Bills are in need of help at quarterback after releasing starter Ryan Fitzpatrick this month. Kolb has struggled with consistency. He has completed 59.5 percent of his passes, while throwing 28 touchdowns and 25 interceptions in 34 career games.

Breakfast Topic: Does your guild membership depend on guild perks? {WoW}
Dec 20th 2010 10:24AM I love the new guild perks but I run a very tiny (5 members with about 30 characters with alts) family guild. We're not even Level 3 yet and I don't think we really care. We are the epitome of casual, no raiding (obviously with our size!), but we run dungeons together and are slowly levelling characters up to 85.
Like the other recent debate, I wish guild levelling was based on achievements rather than personal questing xp. We enjoy doing things together, even silly things. I don't think we'll ever hit Level 25 but as long as we keep having fun, I'm ok with that.
Tuesday Morning Post: Altoholics Anonymous edition {WoW}
Nov 30th 2010 12:39PM I am an alt-aholic myself. I promised that I would just make a gnome rogue (yes I realize those were always available but its one of two classes I don't currently have) so that I could see the new starting quests. Just level 5, that's all I intended. 30 levels later, oops! The newness and enhancement to so many of the zones was just too much to resist. Loved Westfall, loved Redridge and Wetlands is proving to be a lot of fun as well. And then a worgen on Tuesday, and there goes 10 characters on another server!
Breakfast Topic: Will you be buying either of the new vanity pets? {WoW}
Nov 30th 2010 11:20AM I have resisted buying in-game items thus far, but the moonkin is way too cute for me to ignore, especially since my main is also a moonkin. I'll also be buying one for my husband and my sister so we can all enjoy the extreme cuteness.
Do whatever makes you happy, neither of these pets are in any way an advantage or requirement to enjoy the game.
If the Singing Sunflower is any indication, Blizz is still willing and able to deliver a quality pet without additional out of game expense.
The Queue: Dala-ran out of portals {WoW}
Sep 27th 2010 12:56PM Question - We can use Stonekeeper's Shards to buy heirlooms right now, but since they will be converted, will any heirlooms be "purchaseable" with the new honor based currency(ies)? If so, still in Wintergrasp?
Officers' Quarters: Patch 4.0.1 -- An officer's perspective {WoW}
Sep 27th 2010 12:48PM On the topic of guild achievements, are we certain that the reputations will be in fact be retroactive upon Cata's launch?
I run a teeny tiny guild, and it would be fun to work on getting exalted with some of the more obscure reputations, BUT I'm leery that Blizz won't count anything we've achieved prior to launch. The mantra seems to be that nothing beyond the legendary weapons will be counted retroactively.
Are we safe to get exalted or not? If we do it and it doesn't count then we've lost the opportunity on that particular character. When you've got less than 20 characters to work on these, it does matter.

Sep 23rd 2010 12:42PM Question --> I've got a level 69 alt on a server with no other characters. I'd like to be able to buy 1 heirloom piece for my anticipated Worgen character. With EoT and Stonekeeper's Shards being converted to gold or points, will there be any option to buy the current version of heirlooms with justice points or honor points, or will I be out of luck if I can't make the purchase before the conversion?
Cataclysm Beta: Guild achievements {WoW}
Aug 31st 2010 12:22PM I've been wondering this as well. I'm hoping you can take a crew of 80+ characters into the old world raids and have it count. Obviously you won't need the full complement of people to get it done, so if you take 4 guildies (total raid) into MC, will that work?
The dungeons would be easier as people level new worgens/goblins, but I think most people don't have guilds full of random 60s, 70s and 80+.

Super tasty and really easy. This was my first time cooking. Seriously, I'd never made anything more than a bowl of cereal. This turned out delicious and couldn't have been easier for a first time cook.

This dish taste a lot like my neighborhood restaurant's gumbo. Really tasty. I didn't have seafood stock so I used chicken instead. Also, didn't have any beer on hand and noticed the sauce wasn't soupy enough, so I added a small can of tomato sauce. Used turkey andouille for a healthier version. Very good. Will make again and add in different seafood and play with the ingredients some more. A good method for quick gumbo.
