Updated: February 2, 2009, 7:24 PM ET
Associated Press
ALISO VIEJO, Calif. -- Ohio State offensive lineman Alex Boone was arrested after being subdued with a Taser during an alleged drunken tirade, authorities said Monday.
Boone, 21, was taken into custody late Sunday for investigation of resisting arrest after Orange County sheriff's deputies responded to a disturbance call outside of a home in Aliso Viejo.
When they arrived, the 6-foot-8, 312-pound tackle had been jumping on car hoods, yanking on a tow truck cable and trying to break ...

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Ukraine's Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Thursday that a decree making Crimea part of Russia was an illegitimate move and Crimea was and will remain an integral part of the country.
"This is an illegitimate decision and this so-called referendum has no legal grounds at all. That's the reason why we urge the Russian government not to support those who support separatism in the Ukraine," Yatseniuk told a news conference in Brussels following talks with EU leaders.
"Crimea is was and will be an integral part of Ukraine."
He also urged Russia on Thursday to withdraw its military from Crimea and said the current crisis must be resolved only through peaceful means.
The crisis in Ukraine escalated on Thursday after the parliament in Crimea, which has effectively been seized by Russian forces, voted to join Russia.

Florida No. 34 in beer drinking
- Staff Jacksonville Business Journal
The Sunshine State ships more beer than most states, but the hop heads haven't exactly taken over the drinking scene here.
New data from the Beer Institute ranks Florida No. 3 for beer shipments (12.9 million barrels), but only No. 34 in per capita beer consumption (27.4 barrels).
The state-by-state statistical analysis comes as the beer business gears up for the Fourth of July holiday, traditionally one of the strongest periods of the year for beer sales. Last year, during the two weeks surrounding the Fourth of July, beer sales totaled $1.36 billion nationally, more than any other food or beverage category tracked by Nielsen during that time frame.
Earlier this year, the National Beer Wholesalers Association issued a report breaking down beer's economic impact in each state. Florida's beer distributors have an annual economic impact of about $3.2 billion, ranking the state No. 4. Click through the photos at the right to see the top 10 states.
Nationally, beer consumption rose 1.5 percent in 2012. The Beer Institute said the increase was due, at least in part, to a rebounding economy and above-normal winter and spring temperatures. For the record, the Beer Institute said the state with the most per capita beer consumption in 2012 was North Dakota, followed by New Hampshire and Montana.
See where all the states rank.

payg tariffs?

Posted May 4, 2012 at 12:18PM
Used to have a payg a/c with t-mobile and topping up if and when in need. The good thing was that credits not used by end of month are carried over. I can't seem to find one now with any provider that will allow unused credits to be carried over at the end of the month. If you know of one pls post back. Would be much appreciated Reason I have a second phone that I would like to use on this basis. Thanks

Many people may think that Saleen started in the late 1990's but actually it was in the mid 80's! Saleen was tinkering with Mustangs on road courses throughout the country and the wheels on those tuner supercars were reproduced into the SC wheel. Mustang SC wheels are black, silver paint or bright chrome and are patterned to fit your 1979-93 Fox Body Mustang or even your 1994-04 Mustang! 4-lug or 5-lug you take your pick for an awesome Mustang wheel that is timeless looking and performs well with a 10.5" rear width. Take that you haters! SC Mustang wheels with a polished lip look so good, and the price is right!

Associated Press

The Belle Isle Park Advisory Committee is expected during its first meeting today to receive an overview of the island's lease agreement between the city of Detroit and state Department of Natural Resources.
Committee members also will review a short-term improvement plan for the park this morning at the Detroit Yacht Club.
The committee will advise the state on implementation of improvements, master planning and public safety for the park.
The state is taking over Belle Isle under the lease imposed by Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr. The move is expected to save the city between $4 million and $6 million a year. Starting Feb. 10, there will be a new $11-per-car annual fee to visit.
Detroit retains ownership of Belle Isle.

AT&T pushing direct fulfillment orders ahead of store restocking
In an update to its website's iPhone 3G press area, AT&T has revealed that it is currently using all its iPhone 3G supply to complete direct fulfillment orders, and will begin restocking its stores as soon as possible. "As we receive new inventory from Apple, we are shipping it out immediately to fill customers' orders. We hope to begin re-stocking our stores as soon as we can, but first priority goes to those customers who purchased through direct fulfillment," the company said. The page also states that as of July 23, "direct fulfillment customers are receiving their iPhone 3G, on average, 13 or 14 days following purchase."

3. Being able to use the wide screen keyboard in native Apps.

I too am still waiting. Ordered mine on the 15th. Website says 'backordered'. Its 10 days out and nothing. I've seen posts by folks on other sites that say they can tell what number they are 'in line' but I have no idea how to find that out. Think I'll stop by the store where I ordered it and see if I can find something out. I hope its worth the wait.

I don't understand why this is "news." That's how they've always done it, with the old iPhone as well as everything else they've ever sold. That's the whole point of direct fulfillment, so that you're guaranteed one as soon as there's more stock.

a tine assembly mounted to and extending from a first side of the turf aerator; and
a manual actuation device including a treadle, the treadle mounted to the frame at an opposite side from the tine assembly, the manual actuation device being movable between a depressed position and an extended position, the turf aerator being operable exclusively at an approximate idle power when the manual actuation device is in the extended position.

The present application is directed to a turf aerator and more specifically to an aerator having three separate shafts in axial alignment with each other with the tine assemblies on the middle shaft being mounted for free wheel rotation and the tine assemblies on the left and right shafts being mounted for rotation with the left and tight shafts which may be selectively driven or simultaneously driven. Core-type aerators are well known in the art and are generally comprised of a walk-behind unit having a main frame with an internal combustion engine mounted on the top thereof. A transverse shaft is rotatably mounted adjacent a lower rear portion of the frame and has plurality of discs secured thereto which in turn support a plurality of radially extending core tines. A suitable drive arrangement is provided between the output shaft of the motor and the tine carrying shaft. A pair of adjustable wheels are pivotally mounted on opposite sides of the frame adjacent the rear thereof which may be adjustable in height under the control of an operator walking behind the aerator. Suitable controls are provided on the handle for controlling the drive to the shaft carrying the care tines. In most models of turf aerators, all of the tine carrying discs are simultaneously rotated since they are mounted on a single transverse shaft to which the drive is imparted. At least one turf aerator model is provided wherein the outermost tine carrying discs are mounted on the shaft for a free wheeling operation The aerator disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,102,129 is of the walk behind type and is provided with two independent tine carrying shafts which are axially aligned with each other for independent rotation relative to each other. Each shaft is selectively connected to an output shaft of a motor mounted on the frame of the aerator by two separate drive trains, each having a clutch arrangement therein. A pair of control levers is mounted on a handle assembly for operating the clutches in each drive train. Thus either or both of the tine carrying shafts may be rotated to facilitate a turning operation of the aerator or while traversing a sloping surface. The aerator disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,680,903 is provided with a series of tine assemblies spaced along a driven shaft driven by a motor. Each tine assembly has a plurality of tines for aeration extending in a substantially radial pattern about the driven shaft. The inner tine assemblies along the middle portion of the driven shaft are secured to the driven shaft to drive the aerator along the lawn as the driven shaft rotates. The outer tine assemblies adjacent the ends of the driven shaft are rotatably mounted on the driven shaft. This permits the outer tine assemblies to free wheel independently and thereby make the aerator more maneuverable and easier to turn. The present invention provides an improved turf aerator having three separate shafts in axial alignment with each other with the tine assemblies on the middle shaft being mounted for free-will rotation and the tine assemblies on the left and Might shafts mounted for rotation with the shafts which may be selectively or simultaneously driven. The turf aerator is provided with a platform upon which the operator will stand to operate the turf aerator. An internal combustion engine is operatively connected to two hydraulic pumps which in turn are connected to left and right hydraulic motors respectively, which will impact a drive to the left and right tine carrying shafts respectively. The hydraulic motors also provide a drive for the left and right main wheels of the turf aerator respectively. The foregoing summary, as well as the following detailed description of preferred embodiment of the present invention, will be better understood when read in conjunction with the appended drawings. For the purpose of illustrating the preferred turf aerator of the present invention, there is shown in the drawings, an embodiment which is presently preferred. It should be understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown. In the drawings: Certain terminology is used in the following description for convenience only and is not limiting. The words �right�, �left�, �lower� and �upper� designate directions in the drawings to which reference is made. The words �inwardly� and �outwardly� refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the turf aerator and designated parts thereof. The terminology includes the above-listed words, derivatives thereof and words of similar import. Referring to the drawings in detail, wherein like numerals indicate like elements throughout, there is shown in A platform 24 for the operator is mounted on the frame 12 substantially between the driven wheels 16 and the rear non-driven wheels 18, as best seen in Referring to Referring to The treadle 26 is pivotally mounted to the frame 12, preferably at a hinge 26 a, that permits pivoting of the treadle 26 between the depressed position (dashed in Referring to Referring to Referring to The left hydraulic motor 54 and the right hydraulic motor 56 are mounted on the frame 12 above a tine assembly 58, as best seen in The tine assembly 58, as best seen in Referring to It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes could be made to the embodiment described above without departing from the broad inventive concept thereof. It is understood, therefore, that this invention is not limited to the particular embodiment disclosed but is intended to cover modifications within the spirit and scope of the present invention, as defined by the appended claims.

Rest between each set is exactly 30 seconds. Keep the same weight for each set of a given exercise. For example, when performing the dumbbell bench press, if you are using 50 pound dumbbells, use the same weight for each set. And as to add more weight to this
Focus T25
review, he will write about his whole experience, and me, being the fitness addict and having tried all of the exercises in the Focus t25 workout, will just add my occasional comment as to compare the Focus T25 workout with the rest I've completed.
The Focus T25 workout created quite a stir in many fitness circles. If you've heard about Beachbody and their products you are already familiar with what it is ¨C a dvd workout program designed to give you a great looking body. Focus T25 workout review - If, on the other hand, you've done some of their workouts over the last couple of years, as I did with the Insanity Workout and the Insanity Asylum, it is justifiable to have big expectations for this one as well. So writing the Focus T25 review from my perspective would have been wrong for couple of reasons. First, any results I would have witnessed could have been easily contributed to my previous investment in fitness, and second I will never get to know the full scope of what the
Focus T25 workout
is capable of.
If you continue to run this program, your rate of overall weight loss will slow during the second and third cycles. You have already flushed out quite a bit of excess water weight, so from this point forward the majority of your weight loss will be fat loss. Men should lose about 5 to 10 pounds during the second cycle, and women 3 to 6 pounds. These 21 day cycles are perfect for individuals who gained extra weight during the past 6 months, and need to drop just a little fat to get back to a more normal weight. I don't recommend running these cycles more than twice, maybe three times max. As a guy who has loved the gym for as long as I can remember, that's a definite sign of continued legacy.
One day I was waiting to use the 90-degree bench for my set, but it was in use so I jumped on the incline bench and went to work on my set. Instantly, I knew I had found a winner. It felt sick and I was blown away with the effect it had on pretty much my entire upper body. While I was competing in powerlifting, I became almost obsessed with this movement, as its benefits were immense. In my mind, I had found my own golden ticket when it came to the perfect accessory movement to boosting my bench press.
I eventually worked up to an impressive six reps using 115-pound dumbbells and the carry-over was huge. The reasoning behind why it helped was evident to me. The stability this movement gave my shoulders, pecs, triceps and upper back was remarkable and my pop out of the hole ¨C usually a weakness for a raw lifter ¨C increased significantly.

Tampa Bay's Kazmir feels good after rehab start, eyes May 3 return
VERO BEACH, Fla. -- Rays ace Scott Kazmir felt good after his first minor league rehab start on Friday, and is on target to return to Tampa Bay on May 3.
The left-hander gave up one unearned run and one hit in three innings for Class A Vero Beach against the St. Lucie Mets. He struck out three and didn't walk a batter.
"I got all my pitches in, worked on all my pitches, and it felt good for the most part," said Kazmir, who has been sidelined because of a left elbow strain since Feb. 25. He reported no pain Friday.
Kazmir's first two pitches hit the dirt, even with Rays' catcher Dioner Navarro behind the plate, also making a rehab appearance. But the next three fastballs were for strikes, and he got out of the first inning after facing just three batters.
He threw 30 of 47 pitches for strikes. The only run against him was in the second inning, when St. Lucie's Luis Rivera doubled, advanced to third on an error, and scored on a fielder's choice.
The 24-year-old came back strong in the third inning, striking out two of the three batters he faced.
"I was just worried about my fastball command, and as the game went on, the last inning it felt great," Kazmir said.
Kazmir threw just 14 off-speed pitches, and his fastball topped out around 92 miles per hour.
"My game is working off the fastball, and I feel that's what I need to work on before I get back to the major leagues," Kazmir said.
He likely has two more rehab starts before his target return date. He'll pitch next for Vero Beach on Wednesday in Jupiter.
"It's frustrating," Kazmir said. "You see all my teammates out there already playing and you just want to go out there and contribute. I want to get out there as quick as possible."
Navarro, who sliced open his hand April 4 at Yankee Stadium, went 0-for-1 with two walks and a hit-by-pitch. He is scheduled to play again Saturday. He is eligible to come off the disabled list on Tuesday and could rejoin Tampa Bay that day, when they open a three-game series against Toronto in Orlando.

The founder's of Hildred's Planet thought they had designed a foolproof socioeconomic system under which virtually no one could fail. Dunstan Malvern proved them wrong, as he was informed by Uncle Grump at a not very congenial family dinner. In a society where no one is supposed to fail, failures are not well received. However, Uncle Grump had arranged a job for Dunstan, his last chance to save himself. But what should have been Dunstan's salvation begins a cascading series of disasters that leave Dunstan homeless, broke and on the run.
Some years prior to these events, on the Planet Arasmin, the firm of Jephsen, Hembrecht, Emmersohn and Associates, manufacturers of androids, had created the near perfect android servant in their Electronic Butler System, known as Jheebs.
Fate and a midnight ocean swim bring Dunstan and Jheebs together. With Jheebs' aid Dunstan redeems himself and in the process discovers there is much going on around him that is not as it seems.

Just Beta Ray Bill? No, it is BETA ************* RAY BILL, the guy who beat up Thor, took his hammer and gained all the powers of Thor, but Odin was all "Oh **** , this shouldn't haooen, but it did, so Death Match" so Thor and Bill fought on a lava planet to the death, where they destroyed the planet and knocked each other out. They were riding a boulder on lava going into the core when Bill woke up and saved Thor. Because of this, Odin issued his workers to make an enchanted hammer just for him called Stormbreaker which gives powers like Thor. Then Bill went on to **** **** up, even taking on Galactus.

Did the black team deserve to win?

Your Property
OPINION: Last night's episode of Mitre 10 Dream Home was chock-a-block with tools, tears and tantrums while the contestants faced disaster after disaster setting up their lounges.
Last week was the teams' first turn on the tools, and that was pretty evident. Luckily they've got experienced builders on hand or I imagine both houses would collapse at the first sign of one of Christchurch's many wee shakes.
The Orange Team, Marty and Sarah, have a tribe of six kids and want to build a new house after theirs was badly damaged in the quakes and they found themselves underinsured.
The Black Team, Jay and Amanda, have three children from Amanda's previous marriage and admitted on the show last night "we're not tradies, we don't know what we're doing". Inspiring confidence from early on, ladies.
In last week's master bedroom episode, the girls in black said they got "nailed"... Building puns are great.
Marty and Sarah were coming in hot off their win and had a lot of enthusiasm to take out the lounge challenge this week.
Jay and Amanda knew the room was a "must win" for them to catch up to the Orange Team, as the seemingly ageless host, Simon Barnett, pointed out every chance he got.
However, they hit disaster after disaster from early on. They weren't allowed a wetback on their fire, then had some tense times when they were possibly not going to be allowed a fire at all.
Simon seemed to relish breaking that news to the girls, and, as he said himself, this sort of thing makes for good TV.
That made me wonder about the whole issue of getting an engineer to verify that they could cut into a beam for the fire flue.
After building ground to a complete halt for quite some time while they tracked down an engineer to "look over" the beam, they managed to get approval over the phone.
Surely an engineer would need to have a look at this beam if it was causing so much drama?!
Throughout this saga, Jay kept saying she was "going to throw a tantrum like a little kid".
She was pretty annoying throughout the whole episode, so a Simon-enforced time-out in the corner would have been quite nice.
As it turned out, she stormed off into a container at one stage and seemed to have her meltdown in there, which was definitely preferable to doing it on camera - I was envisaging one of those awkward moments at the supermarket when you have to navigate your trolley around a toddler throwing a hissy fit.
Except in this scenario, the toddler is an adult, and the trolley is a wheelbarrow full of building supplies.
Meanwhile, the Orange Team were so under control they were out shopping for a television and playing with paint test pots.
Marty picked a television that is only about a foot (30 centimetres) less wide than I am tall - a colossal 55 inches (140cm) that had the thumbs-up from all the guys, if not necessarily his wife.
Sarah worried that the "Moroccan spice" colour they picked for their feature wall would have viewers thinking they were taking their team colour too literally - she took the thought right from my head, but it actually ended up looking quite snazzy on the wall, and not like the inside of a pumpkin as I originally suspected.
The two teams had to come together for a DIY challenge, which was putting gib on a wall.
Amanda broke down while watching the instructional video, and Jay said she wanted to slap her head - fitting, considering that was how I felt about Jay for most of the episode, although I did agree that there didn't seem to be any reason for tears over a plasterboard how-to guide.
A bit more attention could have been paid to the video as it turned out: Amanda discovered the old "measure twice, cut once" only works if you actually measure accurately.
Despite Sarah managing to knock a whole corner off the Orange Team's sheet, Marty managed to pull it together for them and they took away the $1000 prize for the second week running.
Back to the lounges, and Black Team builder Zach isn't having a bar of another all-nighter like last week and says he can't be babysitting everyone all the time.
Tensions are obviously high with a lot of work still to be done, so Amanda does the sensible thing and sits Zach down for a haircut.
When he sees she has put blue chalk in his hair, he tells her to build her own house and rinses the colour out with freezing-cold water from a hose.
A night of little sleep ensued for both teams, although Orange seemed to be country miles ahead.
In the light of day, Black Team's troubles continued when a coffee table made out of bits of an old boat that Jay was obsessed with hadn't turned up (cue tantrum), and a "custom-built bookcase" was way too big for the space it had been "custom-built" for.
With half an hour to go, the Black Team still hadn't hung the wallpaper in the lounge, while the Orange Team were relaxing next door watching the new television with Simon.
When it came to crunch time, the judges were impressed with Jay and Amanda's lounge and said it showed their personalities.
By comparison, Marty and Sarah's was quite sparse, and I think they lost points for the noise that will come down from the floor above due to the much-agonised-over exposed beams.
The Black Team took out a narrow one-point victory, which the girls were clearly chuffed about. Less than stoked might be their bank manager - the Black Team spent $34,182 on their lounge, compared to the Orange Team's $19,151.
Next week it's bathrooms, so I'm bracing myself for some more waterworks. (Can't get enough of the building puns.)

Hutt News
Fruit that would otherwise rot on the ground is boosting the larders of local foodbanks.
Auckland woman Di Celliers came up with the Community Fruit Harvesting concept in 2011 and now the idea has ripened in an least nine other centres. In greater Wellington, Julie Harris has taken the initiative.
Owners of trees laden with grapefruit, lemons, apples, pears, feijoas and the like in Wellington, Porirua and Kapiti are calling up, but "not a one" from the Hutt Valley.
"We're getting into pip fruit harvesting season now and I'm keen to get support from the Hutt region," Ms Harris says.
Picked fruit ends up with the Kaibosh Food Rescue (which distributes to Wellington City Mission, Salvation Army Hope Centre, Women's Refuge and others) and Kiwi Community Assistance (helping foodbanks in Wellington and Porirua).
Ms Harris says she has no problem with fruit picked in the Hutt Valley going to local foodbanks.
But it needs local pickers to step foward. Every volunteer who picks gets the option of taking away a bag of fruit. They can give away the fruit to a foodbank or choose to turn it into jam and donate it to a charity of their choice.
"The whole object is rescuing and using fresh fruit [that could otherwise go to waste]. Whatever channel it goes through to get to families in need, I'm not too concerned. As long as I can track it and record it."
Everyone knows fruit is a key to a healthy diet, "but look in the supermarket trollies of many families getting food grants from [Work & Income] or coming under Budgeting Advice and paying off bills - the fruit just isn't there," Ms Harris says. "It's too expensive for them."
Community Fruit Harvesting can also be a service to the tree owners.
No-one wants the unsightly mush of fallen fruit on their lawn, and for some elderly people picking the fruit is now beyond them.
She is liaising with real estate agents over empty houses/those on the market where fallen fruit, and the flies it attracts, can turn buyers off.
Ms Harris says she has just been offered a pear tree in Tawa "the height of a telegraph pole.
"There is at least 60 kilograms of fruit but I need a team of volunteers to pick this very challenging one and be very confident on high ladders - in fact it is almost cherry picker stuff if it wasn't for a difficult backyard access. "
Plums, stone fruit and most berries have come and gone with a hot summer bringing on an early harvest. She expects apples, pears and the like will come on strong in early March.
There are teams of pickers on her roster, who are alerted on the charity's Facebook page that there is an hour or two of picking needed to be done.
Ms Harris says she has enough people to turn fruit into jam and preserves, "but I always need more pickers".
"Picking can be healthy outdoor fun for families, kids, caravanners, neighbourhood picking bees . . . Neighbourhood Awareness Week is coming up."
The Facebook alert will let pickers know if the site is too steep for children, or the owner doesn't want dogs on the property.
Awareness is only starting to spread but quantities dealt with are already large.
A Waikanae family recently delivered to Ms Harris' garage 45 kilograms of grapefruit they'd picked from just two trees in their back yard.
"We're now talking truck loads of fruit."
Calls are coming from former orchardists in the Wairarapa "so I've got fruit coming from over the hill. It seems strange to me there's nothing from the Hutt Valley".
Contact pickfruitnthwellington @gmail.com, visit pickfruit.co.nz or ring Ms Harris 027 240 6606.

About MeI just model for fun. I will shoot nude but only with people I'm comfortable with, and only for compensation. I'm not looking for this to become a career, it's just recreational. I prefer working with really chill laid back people, if you're too uptight or to serious then the shoot isn't fun. Everyone performs better when there is no pressure that's just a fact of life. I don't mind trying new things to help your portfolio. I don't mind TF shoots (obviously since this is primary recreational). I'd like to do some couple shoots, I think it'd be a fun experience. I'd also really like to do some body paint shoots, they look like a lot of fun!My life's kind of Crazy. I keep weird hours. I'm up from 6AM-2AM most nights. My availability changes on a weekly basis however I'm almost always available to shoot after 6:30pm. I'm usually available on Sundays. I can shoot during the day sometimes during the week message me for updates on my schedule. We can shoot at my apartment most of the time, I have a design studio downtown with a couple back drops and some amazing graphiti, and I love shooting outside. Whether I can shoot at various locations is based on my roommates schedule so message me and I will see what I can do Lists

Radical Dreamers
by Jason Johnson
Illustration by Daniel Purvis
Timothy Leary isn't remembered for his contributions to videogames. The controversial pop theorist's body of work consists of exactly one game and a handful of prototypes. For Leary, the trouble with making finished products was a matter of self-restraint. Leary had lofty ideas about the role and function of games. He wanted them to be intimate experiences. He thought they could exhibit the ultimate potential of the mind. As a result, overambitious ideas sunk most of his projects before they ever got started.
Once, during a seminar on Mind Mirror, Leary's one and only finished game, which was published by Electronic Arts in 1985, an attendee expressed disappointment with the outcome. Leary promptly apologized, explaining that "the next version will feature such dimensions as psychic sensitivity, telepathy, psychedelic excellence, mastery of your own brain, the ability to jump levels, inter-neurological gymnastic skills, and, oh yeah, the erotic."
It's a baffling, nonsensical statement about a game that-- for obvious reasons-- was never made. But coming from a man who conducted research on LSD at Harvard in the '60s, escaped prison and went on the run with Eldridge Cleaver and the Black Panthers in the '70s, and evangelized cyberpunk and the oncoming information age in the '80s, it's almost convincing.
"He wanted to make games that people could touch and, for whatever reason, smell. But even more unexpectedly, he thought games of the '80s should be more like they are today."
Leary's foray into games came near the end of a long and eventful life. He began his career in the field of psychology, studying personality disorders, and later played the role of hippie counterculture's personal shrink. Leary's prescription for the ills of the generation, such as discrimination and the Vietnam War, was drugs-- namely, acid. He built a persona writing and speaking on the virtues of getting high. In the 1970s, while the Summer of Love faded from public consciousness, Leary was busy reinventing himself in prison. He reemerged as a futurist, wildly expounding on the technologies of the future.
As anyone who has heard Leary speak on space migration or life extension can affirm, he was a radical dreamer. Though they drew crowds, his theories were generally dismissed as quackery. Likewise, his ideas about videogames went unchecked by reality. He wrote that "computer screens [had] a powerful, hypnotic ability to create altered states in the brain," and he saw videogames as a medium for it. He built broad game concepts around brain implants and Jaron Lanier's data glove. He wanted to make games that people could touch and, for whatever reason, smell. But even more unexpectedly, he thought games of the '80s should be more like they are today.
"In my software movies, you decide on who the hero will be and what attributes he or she will have. The script keeps coming up and you have choices. At the end, the movie is your unique version," Leary said in a 1987 interview for Computer Language magazine.
At a time when Ultima and Wizardry were role-playing standards, Leary envisioned games like Mass Effect and Alpha Protocol where players give their characters a personality and make crucial decisions in the plot. He pictured environments similar to the open worlds in Oblivion, where players set off after their own ends. Leary was an outsider to the world of videogames, so it didn't bother him that such things had not been done. He didn't realize his ideas were twenty years ahead of their time.
"The environment we were working with in 1985 was a screen resolution of 320x200 pixels, a choice between two sets of four colors, speaker beeps, and a floppy disk. Needless to say, our imaginings outstripped our capabilities," explains Bob Dietz, a programmer who developed software alongside Leary.
Games that can't be made are hard to document, and turning up proof of their conception can feel like searching for the proverbial needle. Only scraps of Leary's unfinished projects remain: a reference to his software company in a Rolling Stone interview here, a mention of a deal with Infocom in a People write-up there. The history is composed of missing links, and its underlying mores are nebulous.
Mind Mirror, Leary's highly compromised yet only completed game, sheds light on the ambitions of the game designer. Mind Mirror is the strangest kind of game, one that is impossible to understand without context. It's a text adventure, a mandala visualizer, and a psychiatric tool all rolled into one. It's also a role-playing game. Not the type where players slay monsters and grind to level up, but the kind where they assume a role and act on it.
The game begins by gathering metrics. The player can be anyone: his ex, his mechanic, his cat, the guy next door he can hear yelling through the wall; anyone. He answers a series of questions about that person, defining their personality. Then, he role-plays through a situation-- say a party, or a job interview-- as that person.
Mind Mirror aimed to help players understand different types of people. It could be used for personality reconditioning, too. As players react to on-screen prompts, they are scored on how well they fit their role. Say they want to be a rock star. Did they trash the hotel room, or make the bed for the cleaner? The score shows up in a graph that rates their performance. The concept is comparable to morality meters, the current trend that allows players to choose the Dark Side or be the hero of the Wild West.
Leary had a good track record when it came to predicting future game trends. Mind Mirror was also a self-help game, a genre that would eventually develop into games like Brain Age and My Stop Smoking Coach. Things Leary planned on doing with Mind Mirror, but couldn't pull off, were dead-on too. He had originally wanted Mind Mirror to be online, to be a virtual world, and to be open-ended.
"We began to imagine a city that players could enter as avatars, and where they could interact with other avatars. They could move through the city, going where they wanted, making their own choices, and being evaluated for consistency in a role," Dietz says.
"In my software movies, you decide on who the hero will be and what attributes he or she will have. The script keeps coming up and you have choices. At the end, the movie is your unique version."
These features are valuable commodities in today's games, but at the time, they were practically unheard of. While virtual worlds were on the horizon, and online games gained prominence in the early '90s, open-world games wouldn't arrive until the next century with Sega's prodigal venture Shenmue. Leary had the prescience to foresee these trends and meld them into a game concept in 1985. Regrettably, but also expectedly, the complexity created an impasse.
Online gaming presented a logistical problem: The player had to be able to get online in the first place. Most people simply didn't have access. A few primitive online games existed at the time. MUDs, or multi-user dungeons-- such as Island of Kesmai, the forerunner of massively multiplayer games like World of Warcraft-- had been doing online play for a couple of years prior. But these games were reserved for nerdom's innermost circle, the section of a Venn diagram where D&D players and aspiring computer scientists overlapped.
Lucasfilm's Habitat provided one of the first casual-focused virtual worlds a few years later, but it was more or less a virtual hangout, and Leary wanted Mind Mirror to be more than that. He wanted it to be a social network and a game. His team wrangled with ways to integrate game rules into a free society.
"We talked a lot about what the goal should be, and decided the player should choose his own goal," Dietz says. "This got us thinking beyond the limitation that each realm had to be scripted. We had alternate situations so that the choices the player was presented with were random. But they were still predefined. How could we set it up so that people's actions wrote their own scripts?"
The team never found the solution.
"The Sims created an effective environment about ten years later," Dietz admits.
Hindered by the constraints of lumbering mid-'80s-era PCs, an Internet that wasn't ready for primetime, and questions that took nearly two decades of experimentation to answer, their vision, like a desert mirage, turned to vapors.
Mind Mirror never got graphics or made it online (although the latter will soon be remedied, as Dietz and others are readying a Facebook Application of the game). Its hypothesized sequel, at times referred to as Mind Adventure and Head Coach, never happened. Leary's stint in gaming went down in history as a failed experiment. Mind Mirror is considered a piece of Leary memorabilia instead of the truly influential game it could have been. And, according to Dietz, it fell "woefully short of [Leary's] vision."
Still, if there is a consolation for the remaining members of Leary's team, it's in knowing that they had been right all along.

I also think that the
Maverick Center seems like a much better fit the Blaze. I would think the rent
would be cheaper. If not, then West Valley City is shooting themselves in the
foot by overpricing the facility.

There is more to an arena than the rent. I'm not sure what West Valley charged, but the ESA is a better location fit for the team as has been proven by the Blazes short stint out West. Also the marketing has been horrible this year for the Blaze, and face it, games are not as fun as they used to be. As a sponsor and STH this will be our last season unless there is another ownership change and ownership reduction. Too many owners as it sits and they all think they know it all, but as evident by poor marketing this season, they don't. The team has made some real poor choices, and it's very surprising considering at least some of the current owners backgrounds. Hopefully they can bring back those that helped them in 2012 and turn the team around, or offer the Garff's the chance to buy it back and run it how it should be.
