Value of waterfront down, except for properties worth $2M or more
MEREDITH — Other than waterfront properties on Lake Winnipesaukee worth more than $2 million each, all classes of property diminished in value when the valuation was updated in anticipation of setting the 2013 property tax rate.
Assessor Jim Commerford reported that the aggregate taxable value of the town decreased by $116,115,857, or 6.25-percent, from $1,858,056,791 in 2012 to $1,741,940,934 in 2013. The percentage change was consistent with the 2012 assessment ratio, which measures assessed values against market values, of 106.1 percent.
While the value of all waterfront properties dropped 4.6 percent, properties on Lake Winnipesaukee valued at more than $2 million appreciated 11.9 percent, their steepest increase since values were last updated in 2009. By contrast the value of all property on Lake Winnipesaukee fell 5.3 percent, with those valued at less than $1 million experiencing the sharpest decline of 9 percent while the value of properties valued between $1 million and $2 million slipped just 0.2 percent. The value of island properties on the lake slid 3.5 percent.
The value of properties on Lake Winnisquam declined 1.8 percent, on Lake Waukewan 2 percent, on Lake Wicwas 4.7 percent and Lake Pemigewasset 12 percent.
The value of single family homes dropped 9 percent, condominiums 5 percent, and multifamily dwellings 5.4 percent. Manufactured housing units in parks suffered the greatest loss of value — 30-percent.
Commercial and industrial property depreciated by 3.2 percent and vacant land fell 17 percent in value.

At trial, band leader Eric Grant denies 2006 sexual assault of 10-year-old niece
LACONIA — After four days of testimony, Eric Grant took the stand in his own defense yesterday, telling the jury that he was not the "monster" is accused of being.
"I did not do this," he said breaking down into tears for the first time since his trial for aggravated felonious sexual assault began on November 12.
"I have lived for a year not thinking I could go home and see my little boys," the popular local band leader said. "I've waited a year to tell the jury — these people — that I did not do this."
Grant ex-wife's sister's daughter accused him of digitally assaulting her at a 2006 New Year's Eve Party at his former house in Gilford. The girl was 10 when the alleged assault happened and she told her therapist about it during a session with her therapist in 2012.
During her testimony, the girl was sitting next to Grant on an "L" shaped couch during the party when he allegedly slipped his finger down the back of her pants and touched her private parts. She said the alleged assault lasted "two minutes" and there was a room full of people that included her mother, step-father and her grandmother.
Grant's recollection of the night was similar in many way to the prosecution witnesses that included the girl's mother, Grant's ex-wife, and the girl's step-father, yet all who testified remembered different things happening at different times.
Under direct examination from his lawyer, Emily McLaughlin, Grant said the first time he was aware of any kind of issue with his niece was when his family went to visit her family in California about seven months later. He recalled the girl didn't want to be around him and the family sat and discussed what happened that night. He said yesterday he recalled the girl had farted in his face and that he had called her an unflattering name like "fart-face" or something and that he forcibly removed her from his lap by pushing her to the floor.
He said yesterday that he recalled having his thumb in her lower back and may have grabbed her pants in a "wedgie" way so she didn't get hurt on the coffee table when he put her on the floor.
He said she began crying and was undoubtedly embarrassed. He said when the two families were together in California he spoke to her an apologized for embarrassing her.
He recalled that his apology was triggered by the girl's desire to go shopping with his ex-wife and the girl's mother and the decision had been that the two sisters should have some alone time. He said the girl "had a fit" and she was acting "bratty" because she couldn't go.
That was when the families had their discussion, testified Grant. He said he didn't remember any talk of a "wedgie" but said he and the step-father disagreed about child rearing in general and how he thought that the alleged victim and her brother were ill-behaved and disrespectful to adults.
Grant also testified that when the two families vacationed together in Jamaica in 2011 the girl was sometimes acting like an overly dramatic teenaged girl but also recalled the vacation as one of the best he ever had.
Grant said it came to his attention that his ex-wife's side of the family may be treating the New year's Eve incident as something more when he and his soon-to-be ex-wife were having an argument regarding their business and their divorce.
He said he called her a "procrastinator" and then she retorted by saying, "well, at least I'm not a child molester."
Grant said about a year later, Belknap County Sheriff's Deputy Judy Estes knocked on his door and asked him about the event. Estes testified yesterday about his voluntary interview with her and the written statement he gave her.
Both Estes and Grant agreed he spoke willingly and was told he didn't have to talk to her and that he could get a lawyer.
During Asst. Belknap County Prosecutor Carley Ahern's cross examination of Grant, she pointed out some inconsistencies between his statement to Estes and his testimony yesterday.
Final arguments are scheduled for today at 9 a.m. Wednesday. The judge will give his jury instructions and the 9-man 3-woman jury will begin deliberations.

Money is main obstacle as solution to Meredith traffic woes nears consensus
MEREDITH — Improvements Routes 3 and 25, including the junction of the two, to ease the flow of traffic through the center of town could get underway by 2017, according to a schedule presented by officials of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) to the Board of Selectmen at a workshop yesterday.
The so-called US3/NH25 project began in 2005 with the aim of moving traffic in "a slow, steady, safe efficient manner," mitigating congestion, while configuring the corridor to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists and promoting the local economy, preserving the natural environment and highlighting the cultural assets of the community. Initially the scope of the project reached some four miles from the junction of Route 3 and Rte. 104 through the intersection Rte. 3 and Rte. 25 and along Rte. 25 to the Center Harbor town line.
Between 2006 and 2009, personnel from DOT, together with an advisory committee of local officials and residents, held 26 meetings and solicited public comment, exploring what Gene McCarthy of McFarland Johnson, a consulting engineer, called "anything and everything that could possibly be considered." In a report, issued in 2009, the myriad of alternatives were winnowed down to a number of preferred options.
Since then, McCarthy explained, for want of sufficient funding the scope of the project has been reduced to the stretch between the junction of Rte. 3 and Rte. 104 to the intersection of Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street, with the US3/NH25 intersection the centerpiece of the project.
"It's a smaller, confined project," he said. The next step will be to select the preferred alternative.
Don Lyford of DOT told the board that the current budget for the project is $5 million, with federal funds representing 80 percent of the total. He said that "the finite amount of funding" would shape the scale of the project.
The report presented four options corresponding to the reduced scope of the project. Three would add a center left-turn to Rte. 3. One would upgrade the traffic signal at Routes 3 and 104 and construct two-lane roundabouts at Routes 3 and 25 and Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street while another would construct single-lane roundabouts at both locations. A third option would include a two-lane roundabout at Routes 3 and 104 as well as at Routes 3 and 24 and Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street. With the fourth option, Rte. 3 would remain a two-lane highway with seven roundabouts — at Rte. 104, Terrace Avenue, Mill Street, Church Landing, Lake Street, Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street.
McCarthy said that while a one-lane roundabout at Routes 3 and 25 could be constructed with minimal impact on surrounding property, a two-lane roundabout would impact all four quadrants, including two buildings on the northern corners of the intersection, but provide greater capacity to ease the bottleneck.
"One lane roundabout doesn't accomplish anything," said selectman Lou Kahn, who questioned if there was enough money in the budget to acquire the necessary land. McCarthy said that apart from reconfiguring the intersection of Routes 3 and 25, the project required little land acquisition. In particular, he said that a third lane could be added to Rte. 3 within the state-owned corridor with only minimal takings.
At the recommendation of the DOT, the Selectboard agreed to convene an advisory committee of nine consisting of the town manager, community development director, a member of the Planning Board, one selectman, representatives of the Greater Meredith Program and Chamber of Commerce and three residents to work with DOT on selecting a final plan by 2014. DOT anticipates the design to be completed by 2016 and construction to begin the following year. Originally the more expansive project was scheduled to begin in 2012.

Man accused of burglarizing Gilmanton home on same day he was in court to answer to another charge
GILMANTON — A local man who had appeared in circuit court earlier in the day has been charged with breaking into the home of one of his relative's neighbors.
According to Gilmanton Police affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, John "Jack" P. Geddis, 23, now of Pine Hill Road in Gilmanton but formerly of Mountain View Terrace in Belmont entered the Foss Road home on November 7 through a sliding glass window.
Records show Geddis had appeared in circuit court in Laconia earlier that same day and had pleaded innocent to drug possession — a charged that stemmed from an arrest on September 18 by the Belmont Police. He had been freed on $1,000 personal recognizance bail.
"I think he still had his court clothes on," said Gilmanton Police Chief Joe Collins, referring to the November 7 burglary.
Affidavits said police were notified by Geddis's uncle who lives next door to the victim's home and who said he saw his nephew go into the house. He said he tried to approach Geddis but said he fled into the woods.
Collins's court affidavit said he interviewed the homeowner and learned some money (about $80) was missing from one of her bedrooms. She also told him Geddis didn't have permission to be in her house.
After his appearance in circuit court on November 12 for the most recent burglary, Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $10,000 cash-only bail. As of last night, Geddis is still incarcerated in the Belknap County House of Corrections.
The Daily Sun has learned that Geddis also allegedly broke into his uncle's Foss road home on September 14 and stole money.
He was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury last week for one count each of burglary and theft by unauthorized taking for the September 14 allegation. The indictment said the amount stolen was greater than $1,500.
Geddis is scheduled for arraignment in the Belknap County Superior Court on Thursday.

Need: Circos for Women Weave the Web Campaign
World Pulse would love to make an infographic using Circos to track the amazing voices contributing to our Women Weave the Web campaign. Is there an expert in Circos out there who would be willing to volunteer his or her time to help us to create a visual aid for our report on all of the crowdsourced wisdom we've gathered during the campaign?
If so, please contact the Leana Mayzlina, Digital Action Campaigns Manager at email@example.com or message her at her World Pulse homepage, LeanaM.
Thank you!
Hey Kelly- What a great idea!
Hey Kelly-
What a great idea! Love those circular graphs. Wondering if we could contact the developer and see if they could directly help with this, donating their time, etc. I can private message you with further thoughts. I hope we get some responses here!
[for reference to those using Circos: "If you are using Circos, please cite us: Krzywinski, M. et al. Circos: an Information Aesthetic for Comparative Genomics. Genome Res (2009) 19:1639-1645 | download citation"]
best to you-
Let us Hope together-
aka: Cali gal
I was not familiar with Circos until now...Brilliant idea, and I know this project will come out beautifully in that format!
Wish I could be of more help...
I'm sorry I don't know anyone who is well versed in this software. I do think contacting the developer is a great idea. If he can't take the time to help (he is a genome researcher, after all) he might be able to refer you to someone else who can. Meanwhile I'm totally intrigued by Circos and hope to find time to familiarize myself with it at some point in the near future. I love the idea of turning a dataset into an easy-to-digest infographic...in the round!! That could wind up becoming an important educational and social media campaigning tool, and simply by virtue of being round, it has a more feminine appeal (or should I say it would appeal to the right brain of anyone. Maybe both apply equally well). Thanks for turning me on to it!
Good Luck!
Good Luck!
I will! Wish me the time to
I will! Wish me the time to look into it soon...

This is my favourite gaming website, so it means a great deal to me. However, I doubt anyone will understand it unless they've played a recent Call of Duty.
I think.
Anyway, I want to sit here and be proud and pretend I did something for once in my life.
But more importantly, go have a look at some of the brilliant responses from others – and please contribute your own. It's hilarious and cuts to the heart of the stupidity of #Gamergate. The power of satire can always be useful.
UPDATE: Caitlin White has a succinct yet remarkably accurate write up of its history in Bustle. Great piece.
UPDATE 2: There's a write up at Salon that's excellent.
UPDATE 3: I also tried to respond to some #Gamergaters on reddit. I got some reddit Gold for trying, so there's that.
Brianna Wu faces a lot of scorn and abuse right now from Gamergate. And also this.

Wu has faced and is facing harassment, was chased out her home and continues to fight against abuse – despite good reasons not to. So while facing a horde of misogynists and other horrible people, now is certainly a good time to take your big boy pants to her work! Totally!
@tauriqmoosa I don't care about her personal life, but professionally, she is making us look bad.
— Alexander (@Bane_Alex_Uk) November 3, 2014
Aside from the fact that saying a person who develops isn't a "real" developer – which No True Scotsman cuts across like a train – it's just… pointless.
It's just unnecessary.
I have numerous problems with Sarkeesian's work, not least her views on sex work. But the world isn't coming to an end because my opinions haven't been voiced. I don't see why it's necessary right now to do so. I also have other concerns.
But mainly: Sarkeesian, Wu, etc., are facing a mob of hostility from the internet and adding to that – no matter how well intentioned – is a jerk move.
Instead of using my limited time and resources to target Wu or Sarkeesian, I use it against the mob hating them.
And I do this for people who make racist Tweets about brown people like me and non-white people who live in Africa (like me).
If I can focus my criticism and use my finite time and finite energy to respond to an online mob attacking racists, I'd think gamers could do something similar for game devs and critics they don't like. Oh, so you think Brianna Wu is a crap or fake game dev: yes, now is the perfect time to Tweet about that and make that your response (consistently in his interaction with me). And way to dismiss concerns of her safety as that being her "personal life".
Sorry but I defended people who might hate me for my skin colour. What is so important about vidya games that it needs brave defenders targeting harmless women who everyone knows is being harassed and targeted? You have the freedom to criticise them, just as I have the freedom to tell you that's pretty vile.
I don't know but it seems to me more moral – ITS ABOUT ETHICS, AFTER ALL! – to use your finite energy where it's most needed, instead of being another person trying to score points against a harmless woman on the internet.
So I've done a fair amount of work in ethics. I studied it as an M.Phil at a centre for Applied Ethics; I wrote on it for Big Think, write on it for Daily Beast, the Guardian and elsewhere. I teach it at a local university, to first-years, medical students and, once, even accountants. I've reviewed papers for major bioethics journals. I'm not an expert in it: but I can safely say I've "done" ethics more than most people.
And this is one reason (of many!) why I find Gamergate, this supposed movement concerned with "journalism ethics", so insulting, so demeaning, and so contrary to ethics. I care a great deal about media ethics – particularly gaming media, as someone who also writes in that sphere – so I would love for more people to care.
Gamergate, however, makes my job a thousand times harder.
It's clear from my hundreds of interactions with Gamergaters that, for a movement that is ostensibly about "ethics", it sure has a lot of people that have no idea what that even means. I want to outline some various problems Gamergate has with ethics, aside from continuing to exist in the face of creating toxicity and harassment. [Read more…]
I seriously don't understand this one narrative thread in Gamergate about how it's giving "voice to the voiceless".
This is the Internet. Make a blog. Pitch articles. By definition, you have a voice.
But let's look at this idea of clutching the megaphone of Gamergate.
There's no denying they are being heard: almost every major media outlet has covered it, from the New York Times to the Boston Globe to the Guardian. None of it favourably, all of it looking at the toxicity and abuse that is its outer, wider, flailing parts. [Read more…]
So Boston Globe's Jesse Singal had a write-up about Gamergate. It's a short account, but one that he obviously researched and is a good overview for those wanting to know WTF is happening who don't care about games. (I mean, if you want meat and fat and all sorts of details, read Kyle Wagner's epic piece at Deadspin.)
Anyway, someone in proGamergate reddit was not pleased, labelling their link as "Another poorly-researched hit-piece, from the Boston Globe".
Singal, praise Cthulu, decided to comment on reddit itself and it's incredible to behold.
Me: I don't think this is really about corruption as much as it's about discomfort with feminism. After all, a lot of the heat seems to be aimed at small female devs/commentators of a feminist bent.
GamerGaters on Twitter: Not true! So unfair! Go to KIA!
[Goes to KIA. Suspicions appear to be mostly confirmed.]
As someone who cares about ethics in media, I'm still waiting for what exactly Gamergate wants. So far, I've seen childish nonsense or completely debunked assertions. [Read more…]
A harmless woman became the target of bullies online. It must be a day ending in "y". Except of course she was involved in games and the harassers were proud supporters of Gamergate.
After bullying her, they then claimed to be victims themselves – of trying to curb bullying. See, after harassing someone, they then try say "Hey, this person feels harassed!". I wonder why?
Then the gaters wonder why we don't trust them when they claim to be "helping". No doubt some are. But again: it depends on who, at that second, is using the hashtag.
You want some two-faced morality? Here you.
Chloe Sagal is in a bad space. Gamergate is doing well in its two-faced response. pic.twitter.com/NULndv85Ab

Oh, bullying a person who is considering suicide? Please tell me more about ethics…
But if you wanted some more awfulness from Gamergate, look no further than another of its spokespeople, Mike Cernovich. (HT @stillgray)
(If unable to view Storify, find original link here)
I make the case for why opposition to social agenda discussion in game reviews is wanting unethical media practice.
I wrote this as a comment on gaming site I write for – on Anita Sarkeesian and the topic of disagreement in game culture. Thought I'd post it here so I could curate proper discussion, because this is an issue I'm grappling with as a game and culture "critic" – and as a person trying to be decent. [sic] all around.
I'm not a fan of her work, but don't see why a woman facing death, rape and bomb threats, who is at least bringing conversation, requires me to do in-depth criticism, 300 youtubes of how she's wrong about Hitman, etc.
Frankly, I'd rather defend her right to be part of the culture and focus on her and others' safety, than how they don't get my favourite game is actually super important and the best thing ever. Games matter less than people's safety.
Second there are plenty of people who deserve more attention for how wrong they are about games, such as those who say it "causes" violence, journalists who flout their swag, show off and show little engagement with material of games, developers who screw their audience, Kickstarter failures, etc. All these are actually detrimental. One person's YouTube criticism is not.
I'm actually not interested in people's criticisms of her work. First, because I have my own; second, who needs to hear it right now? Will the industry die because your voice wasn't heart against Sarkeesian?
Imagine meeting an astrologer who's got death threats and demanding he pay you attention, from a screaming mob, so that you can deliver criticism of his pseudoscience. I don't care that you're right about astrology; I care that you're using time and energy to criticise him when you could be using it to defend him against bullies threatening him.
I also want to add: If we want to develop a culture that handles criticism properly, we need to care about people first. For example, those wanting "social issues" removed from game reviews are wanting solidification of the current state; the state that allows so many people to reach this level of anger at harmless women. Games can't be removed from social dynamics anymore than cars or paintings can be. How you examine such items devoid of the contexts and identities that gave rise to such things in the first place is beyond me – except that you'd be delivering the most neutral, bland inhuman aspects of it. Imagine describing the Mona Lisa by listing the colours and direction of brushstrokes – that's what it sounds like to me when you plead for objectivity. (No I don't think every game write-up should analyise the race/sex aspects and what the second tree really means; but I do think such things can be written and should be done without cries of it being not part of gaming – or that it's "ruining" games.)
You want to criticise Sarkeesian – Great. Work on creating a culture where doing so is done maturely, civilly and with sensitivity to the other person as the default. By pushing through with your criticism, you're making it clear you don't care about the current context a harmless person is facing for merely trying to make games better. Whether she's right is debatable; whether she – and others – should have her life and safety threatened is not. Right now, I know what my priority is in this particular instance.
Maybe one day we can debate the merits of her video – and I might actually agree with you on some points. But now is not that time and, as indicated, there are other targets more worth your criticism. Otherwise you just become part of the climate that is already a room of knives.

Healing, like forgiveness, is a gradual process. Give yourself all the time you need... and play some good music while you're at it. Music is a big part of the healing process, as you will see from some of these famous quotes on healing.
"All healing is first a healing of the heart." - Carl Townsend
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it." - Helen Keller
"Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it." - Tori Amos
"Eventually you will come to understand that love heals everything, and love is all there is." - Gary Zukav
"I'm touched by the idea that when we do things that are useful and helpful - collecting these shards of spirituality - that we may be helping to bring about a healing." - Leonard Nimoy
"Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity." - Hippocrates

Time for Gay CEOs to Take a Stand: Opinion
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Ever since Felix Salmon wrote about Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook's sexuality for Reuters last year, I have been thinking about the subject.
Salmon framed Cook's homosexuality as common knowledge in Silicon Valley. Cook himself has never spoken about it publicly.
The article hit about a year after the death of Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Brian Burke's son, Brendan. Brendan died in a car accident shortly after coming out in a very public way.A hockey guy from a hockey family put himself out there -- big time. That remains, by and large, unprecedented in sports. Though Brendan never played in the National Hockey League, he has strong ties to the sport at several levels. In particular, hockey people know his Dad, Brian, as a no-nonsense, tough-as-nails Irish American. When Brendan appeared on national television to discuss the issue, Brian was right there next to him. As a member of this collective called humanity, I felt pride and had hope for society while watching the elder Burke stand by his son. But he did not stop there. As this excellent GQ article explains, Burke has become an advocate for open, no-strings-attached acceptance of gay athletes. He participated in Toronto's gay pride parade this year. He regularly speaks to colleges, youth groups and other entities. Brendan's death led his brother, Patrick, a scout in the Philadelphia Flyers organization, to conceive the You Can Play project. Since its formation, Patrick has enlisted the support of the NHL, all of its franchises and a whole host of its most high-profile players. Promotional announcements air online and during NHL telecasts. Brendan didn't have to do it, but he assumed a massive responsibility when he came out. Simply put, he answered the call. After he died, his father and brother carried the torch for their son. Both men took on considerable personal and professional risk, but, as Brian Burke explained, he felt like it was something he needed to do. He told GQ that he's not very good at being an activist. He doesn't have the same "poise and natural charm" that Brendan possessed:
I'm very proud of Brendan. If I had to pick, I would have picked him to go second. Let someone else go first. It's not the message that he has, which is a wonderful one, but pioneers are often misunderstood. You don't wish this on your son. You wish that someone else carries that burden first, but this is what he wanted to do, and we support him.... It takes a lot of jam to take this step. He's obviously a fearless kid. But he's a real bright kid and a sweet kid, and I'm very proud of him.

Cheats, Codes & FAQs
Finding buried treasure
A Sim can only use the Metal Detector in direct control mode. It is possible to find money, Dangleberries, monkey idols and bottle caps.
Avoid being fired
If you accidentally miss your ride to work on your second day of missing work, before it says you have been fired, quickly find another job by looking in the newspaper or the Internet. Once you have avoided the call to get fired, you can change back to your previous job without being demoted and getting deducted skill points.
Forced friends
If you need friends, get a Hot Rock Hot Tub, or move to Tranquillity Falls where they already have one. Invite over who you want to be your friends and get them in the hot tub. Then, put objects around it so they cannot get out. Leave them in there long enough and they will become your friends. REMEMBER: Get out before your hunger goes all the way down or else they will die.
Getting married
Bring your Friendship up to 80 or 90. If the background is very red and blurry, select "Be on" the socialize menu and go to a bed. Select "Relax" then choose the bed again. Select "Woo whoo" once then press Square to get out of the bed. Select "Socialize" and if you are in love, select "Propose" and hope that the other Sim says yes.
Energy boost effect meal
Dangleberry, Yogurt, Strawberries and Cherries; or Ostrich, Eel, Strawberries and Mangosteen (expensive but works the best). Sandwiches that boost energy (also is a love dish) are Ostrich, Pork, Strawberry, Wheat Bread.
Skills boost effect meal
Chicken, Onions, Eggs, and Milk. Carrot, Egg, Milk, White Flour. This will give your Sim a +3 boost on all skills, but it will go down after awhile.
Sick meal
With any meal you make using Llama, no matter what the effect, any Sim that eats it will vomit.
Raising motives
To raise your Power, Fun, and Comfort at the same time, power nap on a couch with a television or radio on nearby.
Easy money
When you need some money and own a "Defective Arcade Genie Lamp" you can keep making wishes and you will get money eventually. However, the genie can also cause fire and make all the characters in the area of the lamp to pee themselves if you make him mad. When he is mad he will come out of his lamp with red colored smoke beneath him. However, if he is giving you something good the smoke will be purple or pinkish. It is best to perform this when you first get a house so that you can get your money and not risk losing any items you have purchased. REMEMBER: If you talk with the genie, he gives you small advice and hints occasionally.
Saving money
Objectives that require buying furniture can be easily purchased on low ends. Just buy it to complete the goal then delete and get your full money back.
Business career bonuses
When you get to level 6 in a job you can ride in a limo. You will get to fly in an helicopter at about level 9.
Food locations
Dangleberries can be harvested in the Sproutch Couch. Other fruits are harvested on a Frood Tree. Golden eggs can be received from Chicken Checkers game. Fish can be harvested from the Manilla 1000 Aquarium Some vegetables can be harvested from the GenoLife Garden Hutch.
Hidden food
There is more than just the food you can make. For example, there is food that give your skills a boost, food that helps you in love (romance Sims only for their goals), and food not in the list. For example, you can make a pizza.
Free harvested food
Use the following trick if you are in need of food and have very little money. Buy an item that can have food harvested from it. Harvest the food from it, sell it back, then buy another. This will keep you from having to spend money on food. Unless there is more than one sim in your house, you do not have to worry about the other Sim wasting money buying non-harvested foods.
Hunger satisfaction
The more expensive refrigerators carry more foods. They also add a bonus amount of hunger satisfaction. The more cooking skill you have, the higher the hunger satisfaction. Hunger is the one need that if left unmet can kill your Sim. To quickly fulfill your Sim's hunger even with low cooking skills, make a meal using Beef, Pork, Lamb and Potatoes. If you are low on money and do not have enough to eat, sell your refrigerator, stove, etc. and buy a Fruit Punch Barrel. It will satisfy your hunger about 98%. You can just go to "Drink From Tap" and it will do the rest.
Aphrodisiac effect meal
Ostrich and Passion Fruit; or Carrots, Lime, Pork and Passion Fruit. Most things made with Ostrich or Passion Fruit will have the aphrodisiac effect, although some have a very negative effect (black hearts) that will lower your Sim's mood.
Controlling a dead Sim
Kill your Sim. There are a lot of ways to do this, but starting a fire is the fastest. Once your Sim is dead switch, to direct control (if not already in it). As a dead Sim you can walk through walls and talk to Sims. Terrorize, Wail, and Possess are social options dead Sims can do. Unfortunately you cannot actually possesses Sims out of social mode. These social options have no effect on other Sims, but are funny. You can also challenge the Grim Reaper in fiddle challenge. You have an unlimited number of chances to try this. If you win, your Sim will become alive again. You can also pay the Grim Reaper 100 Simoleons for a Back To Life Ticket.
Business career
To master the Business career you must have Body at level 9, Logic skill at level 9, and Charisma skill at level 7.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries will be sponsoring the 30th Annual Wildlife and Forestry Festival, a Celebration of National Hunting & Fishing Day, Saturday, September 25, 2010. Open to the public, the event will run from 10:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m., in the Tom Merrill Recreation Area Campground at the Bayou Bodcau Dam and Reservoir, located on Bodcau Dam Road, off Interstate I-20 from Highway 157 in the Haughton/Bellevue area. Go to http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/lakes/la/bodcau/ for a map of the area.
Join us in celebrating the original outdoor challenge - National Hunting and Fishing Day. It will be a family-oriented event, with fun and educational hands-on activities that everyone will enjoy. This is a great way to introduce youth and newcomers to outdoor sports while teaching them about the important role that hunting and fishing play in Louisiana's wildlife conservation programs. It's a perfect opportunity to create a better public understanding of hunting and fishing and to create a better public awareness of the important role that hunters and anglers have played in conservation and improving our natural resources.
A few of the fun and challenging hands-on activities you can try will be archery, duck and turkey calling, shooting using shotguns, B-B guns, muzzleloaders, and others, canoeing or kayaking, fishing, and nature hikes, among many others. Kids of all ages can try your hand at any activity, listen to country music with the Dusty Boots Band, and you may even win a great door prize or the casting or calling contests! Many sportsman's and conservation groups will have exhibits to share valuable outdoor activity information. There will be displays of hunting and fishing equipment and demonstrations of outdoor skills. For more information about the event planned for Bayou Bodcau, contact Ranger Suzanne Odom at 318-377-2673 or email her at email@example.com.
National Hunting and Fishing Day, formalized by Congress in 1971, was created by the National Shooting Sports Foundation to celebrate conservation successes of hunters and anglers. From shopping center exhibits to statewide expos, millions of citizens learned to appreciate America's sportsman-based system of conservation funding. That system now generates more than $1.7 billion per year, benefiting all who appreciate wildlife and wild places. National Hunting and Fishing Day is observed on the fourth Saturday of every September.

Turner Prize-nominated siblings Jane and Louise Wilson have worked together since 1989, when the non-identical twins presented identical BA degree exhibitions at separate colleges. Since then, they've gained access to spaces normally off-limits to the public - like the former Stasi headquarters in Berlin and an old H-bomb testing facility in Orford Ness, Suffolk - to create highly theatrical film installations soaked in political and cultural history. Their new exhibition brings together photography, film and sculptural work about the fallout of Cold War-era tensions between East and West and our Big Brother society. Highlights include 'Face Scripting: What Did the Building See?', which focuses on the 2010 assassination of a Hamas operative in a Dubai hotel, the haunting 'Atomgrad' series of photographs taken in Pripyat, the workers' town devastated by the Chernobyl nuclear accident and 'False Positives and False Negatives', in which the twins camouflage their faces to confuse CCTV technology.
Why have you turned the lens on yourselves?
Jane 'The gift of us being twins was too good to pass up. Especially as the "False Positives and False Negatives" portraits are about identity.'
Louise 'We've used paint to scramble facial recognition software.'
Move over, David Bowie...
Louise 'It's not quite "Aladdin Sane." It's totally military. If you go back to the First World War, they started painting planes with dazzle camouflage.'
Jane 'It's a nod to that idea - it's designed to confuse biometric readings of the face.'
Your show features many works concerned with surveillance. What intrigues you about that?
Jane 'We live in a very monitored culture.'
Louise 'And, as artists, we're interested in the act of looking and being looked at.'
What did it feel like visiting Pripyat?
Jane 'You feel the despair of the place, it's quite unremitting.'
Louise 'But nature has started to reclaim it. The trees are growing through the buildings and it looks in some respects oddly pastoral.'
'It's a complete, unified vision.'
Many of your photographs include a measuring device, a yardstick. Where did that come from?
Louise 'We first encountered one when we looked at the Stanley Kubrick archive. He used them on the sets at Ealing Studios. We just thought these are great because they look almost forensic.'
Jane 'The yard stick became a real focal point for the images. It shows you how a space can be constantly measured and examined.'
You've positioned them in unusual places...
Jane 'It became a bit of a challenge to see where we could put them - like on top of a diving board.'
What's it like working with your sister?
Jane 'It's quite intuitive because we're so close.'
Louise 'You can trust one another to take care of the work. It's a complete, unified vision.'

Jake Gyllenhaal, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, and Others Almost Starred in The Hangover
Thomas Haden Church as Alan?
Skip to content, or skip to search.
Thomas Haden Church as Alan?
And presumably crotch humor. But also death.
Not that hangovers aren't thrilling.
The Hangover it ain't.
About two guys going on a "Tour de Pussy."
Famous last words ...
The Hangover it is not!
Finally, life can go back to normal.
It's his secret teen party project.
"You're out-of-control wrong all the time!"
"My idea is serious. Deadly serious."
Plus: Ryan Seacrest shares the somewhat sad secret inside his briefcase, on our regular late-night roundup.
Let director Todd Phillips tell you.
"I can't, however, comment on Ken Jeong's cocaine use in the film," jokes director Todd Phillips.
It was all a dream, says 'Hangover' director Todd Phillips.
"I have never had any trouble with a studio, with a network, with a producer, with a director, with a star; I have only ever had trouble with the Writers Guild."
But director Todd Phillips said Gibson was totally bummed out.
This isn't awkward at all.
Plus: Judd Apatow is so not punk rock.
Plus: Will Ferrell, shoplifter.
Downey's pitch-perfect deadpan and the seemingly delusional Galifianakis put the movie over.
By calling director Todd Phillips "the worst Jew in Hollywood." With love, of course.
Who will take on the role?
From the director of 'The Hangover.'
Plus: Chris Brown's visa request denied by country of Europe.

Rescuers say Ace is in good shape, and he'd like more than anything to put his years of cat-human relations experience to good use with a loving family. He just wants a safe, comfy spot to enjoy his sunset years.
But that's not to say he's a geriatric -- no, sir.
Ace likes to climb to the top of his kitty condo, waiting for you to lob soft toys his way so he can bat at them and catch them. At ground level, he chases balls at top speed and hunts down feathers, showing them who's boss by kicking them with his hind legs. Ace also adores watching birds and could do it for hours, particularly if he has a perch looking out on a birdfeeder.
Ace is an accomplished cuddler. He'll saunter over, wind himself around your ankles and jump up to say hello. He likes petting, head rubs and chin scratches so much that not only does he purr, he drools. He's no Saint Bernard, but the more content Ace is, the more he lets the slobber fly.
After all of that, he'll either snuggle up against you for more quality time or go off on his own for a little personal space, striking a balance between affectionate and independent.
Rescuers say Ace is a sucker for Temptations brand cat treats, and they hope his new owner will keep some around just to make the old guy happy.
Ace is a good, undemanding companion looking for one last home. For more information on him, contact R.E.S.C.U.E. at (480) 598-9410 or www.azrescue.org. The cost of adoption is $125 for cats and $150 for dogs; the fee includes spaying or neutering and some inoculations.

Mecum says Hall needs to plan for fast-moving future
By Jerry Gunn
GAINESVILLE - Hall County Commission Chairman Dick Mecum says he believes the biggest issue facing the county during the new year is planning for a fast moving future.
Mecum commented at Thursday night's commission meeting, previewing his State of the County address he's scheduled to deliver Saturday morning at the Hall Republican Party's Conservative Forum at Denny's Restaurant on Browns Bridge Road.
Thats my thing now, Mecum said. Were going to have to plan, get our strategic plans together as to what were going to do, how were going to address it and where were going to be in 20 or 30 years. Everything is going to come at us and its going to come at us rapidly over the next few years. I think right now we need to plan for that and get ready.
Mecum observed that the county is in sound financial shape as 2014 begins, with increasing revenues and spending below the budget.
Were about five percent under budget through the second quarter and were about 11 percent over our projected revenues right now but that may change as the year goes on. Were seeing some positive changes, not great, but theyre moving in the right direction.

I was thinking of putting some blueberries or raspberries in the ale I currently have in my primary. I would add the berryies to the secondary. Should I use fresh or frozen and how much should I add?
Frozen ones have all the interior cell walls desroyed and tend to be juicier. As for how much, I've seen recipes calling for as much as 10 pounds. It's really up to you. If you can find the oregon canned fruit puree, you may want to try that, since it's very consistant, and supposedly works very well.
Once the wind has been broken, it cannot be fixed.
I've not experienced myself but I was told that if you decide to cook some of the fruits that the pectins can be troublesome. Todate, I've always gone with the frozen ones in primary after the activity has begun to slow and I haven't tried to add any to the boil or mash; maybe someday just to see what happens. 2 lbs. of frozen raspberries gave me a pretty cool brown ale a few months back.
I made a stout using fresh raspberrys that I picked at an orchard. I used 3.5 pounds in the secodary and after 3 weeks is has a wang to it. I am gonna let this one mellow for awhile before drinking.
I did <3# fresh rasberries. I reduced them in a pan. If you do this, do not allow them to boi, as this is when you run into pectin issues. You only need to get them to about 140*F and hold them there for a bit. As stated, frozen berries will yield juice more easily as the freezing process destroys the cell structure.
What's the best way to sanitze if you freeze? I would think freezing then heating wouldn't be a very good combo.
vodka works well.
I used 2 lbs of dried (rasin like) blueberrys in my wheet and it's ok, if I make it again I would probably double that. It took about 6 months of ageing b4 it was something I really liked to drink . . . well that and for the purple head on the beer to turn white.
Once ya put them into the secondary expect to get another krausen, thats a lot of sugar you're adding, your going to need to throw the brew into a 3rd fermenter to let it settle out again

There are a few nifty online options too, although with the scant numbers of PS3s out in the world, it can be pretty tough to find a decent match. Here's hoping that, as more units flood our collective living rooms, the community at large will come ready to roll. What few multiplayer matches we did get rolling were wickedly entertaining - another serious improvement from last time.
While it's got a couple of nagging problems - the animation quality drops when there's too much action going on, for one - it's pretty clear that Battlelines is one of the better early PS3 titles. If you can handle the challenge, there's a whole lot going on under the hood that'll get your motor running and guns blazing.

"What a great alternative for a small Thanksgiving gathering. I was planning to make a 12 lb turkey until I saw Ina's turkey roulade. I substituted my traditional cornbread stuffing and it was just great. A big hit with my guests and the best part -- no turkey carcass to clean and discard!"

Scion Accessories & Modifications
licavoli Posts: 2Thanks for the info! I never considered the suspension mods that probably were done to the xB's I have seen pics of. I guess I will just have to visit my local tire and wheel shop to find the right fit? Thanks for the info... you've saved me a lot of research time!
- Jason
If you found a tire shop that does it's own alignment and front end work, they would probably be the best source of advice. I have a shop that actually lets customers (well, good customers) drive a new tire around the block to see if it's going to fit.

i just found out that "scionsport" has two new grilles available for the xb.one is all chrome and vented and made to fit the car. the second is imported from japan (made by Toyota)and was manufactured for the "open deck" which is a different version of the box car in japan. that is the grille i bought, it is sweet!
smooth panel with tinted chrome finish. definately dresses the car up and gives it a custom finish. made by toyota so it took me like three minutes to put it on and it is a perfect factory fit. i'm hoping that since the front grille is all smoothed out now that it may help improve mileage a little by decreasing wind drag. either way it looks sweet!
though i would pass that on...
it is called the open deck grille :shades:
Hey jimw0238...long time since we exchanged information...anyway, it looks like you're working hard on your xB, I wish I could see a picture.
Have a question for you if you don't mind. I remember that you told me you purchased wheels for your box with the TCM color (or very close to it) and paid less than $500.00. Can you give more details...where...what's the wheel spec.
http://www.americastire.com/dtcs/findWheelDetail.do?rcz=92201&mk=SCION&rc=CAPINT- &yr=2005&wd=15&c=1&dVeh=dVeh&pc=57987&rw=&bp=&vid=008416
go to this link to see wheel page...
specs are= Enkie "j10"
cloor= "silver machined" (silver powder coat with clear gloss)
size= 15x6.5 4-108/10038sm
americas tires' regular price is = $115.00 each.
would send a picture to you if you could tell me how
oh...by the way , i also just put a solid tinted chrome front grille on my xb that is made in japan for a toyota "open deck" ....looks really sweet. perfect fit and cost $250.00 (ouch) :shades:
look here to see the "OD" grille:

Dunno...checked all the options lists and it's not standard on any of them. it bears option # YQ4 in the xB, and V3 or S8 in the xA and in the tC it's eitherV5, S6 or YQ4 depending on region...
Definitely was an option on my 2006 xA and I didn't want to spend $469 for it. Perhaps they just threw it in and charged you for it on a "package price" of some sort or maybe here in California there's a different options list...that happens sometime. We could compare MSRP's but what the hell it's not a big deal.
I was just wondering how these aftermarket kits work, and how you install them. I figure you can just add a relay/solenoid to the central door lock mechanism---that probably what they do at the dealer anyway when they install the keyless option.

I doubt it. CAI and exhaust swap can't amount to more than a few HP, (exhaust, maybe 1-2 HP, and CAI maybe 3-8 HP)and besides, with all that extra neat noise you'll probably put your foot in it more and negate any increases. :P

autogenome Posts: 1Hey guys, i am sure u guys may look for some gauges for Pro looks or performance, recently i bought some gauges from the company call Evil Auto Style which i never heard of it, i thought they are bunch of home made copies....anyhow my friend went to SEMA last year and they bought some gauges form them because of the looks and functions are a lot better than Defi and AutoMeter....you guys may not agree with me now, but try to go their underconstruction web site to download the catalog...
Please reply me of what you guys think about it, later i will post some pictures of the gauges installed in my XB
I just got my TC. I had to wait a month. It was worth the wait. Considering that i did have to take the bus for a month. I was thinking of puting on a tint on my rear break light and lights. I really havent seen how it looks on a TC, but it seems it would look good. Has anybody put a tint on their rear lights? The car is already black. Plus i got a free 9 month subscription to sirius satellite radio (From Longo). Listening to Howard Stern do roasts make traffic forgetful.
I received Sirius Satellite on my TC as well. You might have the one that is the family plan. I got a free 9 month subscription. The dealer told me that i i could upgrade to standard, which ment i could listen to howard stern. I don't think it was a mistake. They are trying to market Sirius. I suggest you call sirius and upgrad it to standard plan. It should be at not cost. It's basically a trial so when the subscription does expire you might be interested in getting it.
mss Posts: 12I believe you do get a 9 month free subscription, but it's only for a limited amount of stations. I enrolled with Sirius online and choose a 3 month package, but I just looked and it now seems like they tacked on the other 9 months to end (1 year total). The added bonus in my case is that I never paid for a Satellite receiver to begin with, I was on my way home and to my surprise noticed the antenna on the windshield (it was at night). I hit the Satellite button and Bingo. Howard Stern and the tC has made my hour long commute enjoyable once again!
curious54 Posts: 47I HAVE A 2006 SCION TC WITH 300 MILES ON IT. I INSTALLED TEIN H-TECH SPRINGS ON THEM. EVERYTIME I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT WHILE MY VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THERE IS A HIGH PITCHED SOUND COMING OUT. I DONT KNOW IF ITS MY SPRINGS OR IF ITS THE POWER STEERING. THE SOUND IS GREATER WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. ANYONE KNOW WHAT IT IS?
karmica Posts: 1I purchased on e-bay a set of Elegante by TYC rear stop lights and thought it wouldn't be such a big deal to install them, they don't come with any schematics so I'm stuck, any advice? I've tried to tear down the panels in the trunk of the Scion tC doesn't seem so difficult until you are there. Scion dealer in my area wants $167.50 plus to do the labor. if I could find a website that would sell the schematics to do that I wouldn't mind doing that.
xrae Posts: 1As I wait patiently for dealer to locate my new 06 Scion xA (Flint Mica, manual) I am browsing through the dealer installed accessories booklet. Wondering if I could get some suggestions/recommendations on which items experienced Scion owners feel are worth having installed? I am far from being an auto expert but I would like to get the best ride, acceleration and sound quality from my new toy. The items I'm looking at are: TRD Cold Air Induction, Bazooka subwoofer, Rear Swaybar. Thanks so much for any input!
tundradude Posts: 588First: Get the front strut tie bar.
Second: If you want more from your radio. They have a amp + speaker upgrade. Having said that, I think the stock is fine.
Third: Get a cargo mat so things won't slide around. I know if you get a bazooka, you just lost what little cargo room you have. However, its not much.
Fourth: Fog lights
I own a xB, but the xA is still relative.
the ARM REST is a great option. I'd stay away from the Bazooka...it ain't that great and takes up precious room in the xA. Rear swaybar is definitely a good idea. CAI is of marginal benefit and it's my understanding you can't get it for a 2006 xA from TRD at any rate. Front strut tie bar also a good idea but it may interfere a bit with removing your air filter (makes it harder to get at).
You might also think about the lowering springs along with the sway bars.
As for performance, I think the only addition that will make any real difference is the Blitz turbo kit.

bommai Posts: 1I just test drove a tC and I remember the sales guy saying the keyless remote (built into the key itself) is standard. It says standard in the book also. But it also says Scion Security is a $469 option. I did an online chat with someone at http://www.scion.com and he told me that it is an option! What gives? I wonder if someone at Scion decided that they can make more money and made it an option! Urgh!!!

Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Serbia has room to cut interest rates more as inflationary pressures ease, the National Bank of Serbia said today, citing the International Monetary Fund.
Any loosening of monetary policy should be "gradual" and "cautious," the Belgrade-based Narodna Banka Srbije said, citing an IMF press release of its latest report on the Balkan country.
"Reduced inflationary pressures may create room for further policy easing, but the National Bank of Serbia needs to remain vigilant to achieve its objective of bringing inflation back into its target band," the IMF said.
The Washington-based lender's board of directors confirmed on Sept. 30 a new 18-month precautionary loan program for Serbia, worth 1 billion euros ($1.33 billion).
The central bank cut its benchmark two-week repurchase rate half a point to 11.25 percent on Sept. 8 as inflationary pressures eased and concern shifted to weakening growth outlook.
The bank targets an inflation rate of 4.5 percent plus or minus 1.5 percentage points at the end of 2011 and 4 percent plus or minus 1.5 percentage points at the end of 2012.
This month's Serbian survey compiled by Bloomberg shows inflationary expectations have subsided, with analysts seeing inflation in October next year at 7 percent, a full percentage point below their forecast for September 2012.

You'll know John Clowder if you've played Middens, and especially if you backed the Kickstarter for the upcoming Moments of Silence, or perhaps you read my extensive interview with him all those months ago. Whatever the case, John Clowder makes some of the most interesting games I've ever played. His latest, Gingiva, is no exception.

The above was taken from a review of Earthbound---a game largely considered to be one of the first truly postmodern examples in gaming. From the vantage that the title is regarded as one of the most esteemed in history presents something of a challenge to your statement.
Gingiva was not created with the intention of being a part of any particular art movement as you implied. It merely a story of fantasy. Barely different than the folk tales told hundreds of years before the term modern or post modern were ever uttered.
I recommend that you go into the game folder titled 'Fonts' and double click the single file there named 'batang'. Gingiva uses this font to display text. This should correct the error. Let me know if you continue to have trouble uploading the game.
I thank you, for this has deeply inspired me
