I suggested running a second game to one of my players if I could find the time and they mentioned just alternating it with my Black Crusade game. But then it came down to what I would run.
What would tips and tricks be to include a Space Marine, A Rogue Trader character and then a Dark Heresy character. What would the ranks be for each if the game was at start? Any other helpful advice?

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Abraham's care for Isaac's marriage. (1-9) The journey of Abraham's servant to Mesopotamia, His meeting with Rebekah. (10-28) Rebekah and her relatives consent to her marriage. (29-53) The happy meeting and marriage of Isaac and rebekah. (54-67)
Verses 1-9 The effect of good example, good teaching, and the worship of God in a family, will generally appear in the piety, faithfulness, prudence, and affection of the servants. To live in such families, or to have such servants, both are blessings from God which should be highly valued, and thankfully acknowledged. But no concern in life is of greater importance to ourselves, to others, or to the church of God, than marriage. It therefore ought always to be undertaken with much care and prudence, especially with reference to the will of God, and with prayer for his direction and blessing. Where good parents are not consulted and regarded, the blessing of God cannot be expected. Parents, in disposing of their children, should carefully consult the welfare of their souls, and their furtherance in the way to heaven. Observe the charge Abraham gave to a good servant, one whose conduct, faithfulness, and affection, to him and his family, he had long known. Observe also, that Abraham remembers that God had wonderfully brought him out of the land of his birth, by the call of his grace; and therefore doubts not but He will prosper his care, not to bring his son thither again. God will cause that to end in our comfort, in which we sincerely aim at his glory.
Verses 10-28 Abraham's servant devoutly acknowledged God. We have leave to be particular in recommending our affairs to the care of Divine providence. He proposes a sign, not that he intended to proceed no further, if not gratified in it; but it is a prayer that God would provide a good wife for his young master; and that was a good prayer. She should be simple, industrious, humble, cheerful, serviceable, and hospitable. Whatever may be the fashion, common sense, as well as piety, tells us, these are the proper qualifications for a wife and mother; for one who is to be a companion to her husband, the manager of domestic concerns, and trusted to form the minds of children. When the steward came to seek a wife for his master, he did not go to places of amusement and sinful pleasure, and pray that he might meet one there, but to the well of water, expecting to find one there employed aright. He prayed that God would please to make his way in this matter plain and clear before him. Our times are in God's hand; not only events themselves, but the times of them. We must take heed of being over-bold in urging what God should do, lest the event should weaken our faith, rather than strengthen it. But God owned him by making his way clear. Rebekah, in all respects, answered the characters he sought for in the woman that was to be his master's wife. When she came to the well, she went down and filled her pitcher, and came up to go home with it. She did not stand to gaze upon the strange man his camels, but minded her business, and would not have been diverted from it but by an opportunity of doing good. She did not curiously or confidently enter into discourse with him, but answered him modestly. Being satisfied that the Lord had heard his prayer, he gave the damsel some ornaments worn in eastern countries; asking at the same time respecting her kindred. On learning that she was of his master's relations, he bowed down his head and worshipped, blessing God. His words were addressed to the Lord, but being spoken in the hearing of Rebekah, she could perceive who he was, and whence he came.
Verses 29-53 The making up of the marriage between Isaac and Rebekah is told very particularly. We are to notice God's providence in the common events of human life, and in them to exercise prudence and other graces. Laban went to ask Abraham's servant in, but not till he saw the ear-ring, and bracelet upon his sister's hands. We know Laban's character, by his conduct afterwards, and may think that he would not have been so free to entertain him, if he had not hoped to be well rewarded for it. The servant was intent upon his business. Though he was come off a journey, and come to a good house, he would not eat till he had told his errand. The doing our work, and the fulfilling our trusts, either for God or man, should be preferred by us before our food: it was our Saviour's meat and drink, ( John 4:34 ) . He tells them the charge his master had given him, with the reason of it. He relates what had happened at the well, to further the proposal, plainly showing the finger of God in it. Those events which to us seem the effect of choice, contrivance, or chance, are "appointed out" of God. This hinders not, but rather encourages the use of all proper means. They freely and cheerfully close with the proposal; and any matter is likely to be comfortable, when it proceeds from the Lord. Abraham's servant thankfully acknowledges the good success he had met with. He was a humble man, and humble men are not ashamed to own their situation in life, whatever it may be. All our temporal concerns are sweet if intermixed with godliness.
Verses 54-67 Abraham's servant, as one that chose his work before his pleasure, was for hastening home. Lingering and loitering no way become a wise and good man who is faithful to his duty. As children ought not to marry without their parents' consent, so parents ought not to marry them without their own. Rebekah consented, not only to go, but to go at once. The goodness of Rebekah's character shows there was nothing wrong in her answer, though it be not agreeable to modern customs among us. We may hope that she had such an idea of the religion and godliness in the family she was to go to, as made her willing to forget her own people and her father's house. Her friends dismiss her with suitable attendants, and with hearty good wishes. They blessed Rebekah. When our relations are entering into a new condition, we ought by prayer to commend them to the blessing and grace of God. Isaac was well employed when he met Rebekah. He went out to take the advantage of a silent evening, and a solitary place, for meditation and prayer; those divine exercises by which we converse with God and our own hearts. Holy souls love retirement; it will do us good to be often alone, if rightly employed; and we are never less alone than when alone. Observe what an affectionate son Isaac was: it was about three years since his mother died, and yet he was not, till now, comforted. See also what an affectionate husband he was to his wife. Dutiful sons promise fair to be affectionate husbands; he that fills up his first station in life with honour, is likely to do the same in those that follow.
Genesis 24:1-9 . A MARRIAGE COMMISSION.
1. And Abraham was old . . . take a wife--His anxiety to see his son married was natural to his position as a pastoral chief interested in preserving the honor of his tribe, and still more as a patriarch who had regard to the divine promise of a numerous posterity.
2. said unto his eldest servant--Abraham being too old, and as the heir of the promise not being at liberty to make even a temporary visit to his native land, was obliged to intrust this delicate mission to Eliezer, whom, although putting entire confidence in him, he on this occasion bound by a solemn oath. A pastoral chief in the present day would follow the same course if he could not go himself.
3. thou shalt not take a wife, &c.--Among pastoral tribes the matrimonial arrangements are made by the parents, and a youth must marry, not among strangers, but in his own tribe--custom giving him a claim, which is seldom or never resisted, to the hand of his first cousin. But Abraham had a far higher motive--a fear lest, if his son married into a Canaanitish family, he might be gradually led away from the true God.
Genesis 24:10-67 . THE JOURNEY.
10. the servant took ten camels, &c.--So great an equipage was to give the embassy an appearance worthy of the rank and wealth of Abraham; to carry provisions; to bear the marriage presents, which as usual would be distributed over several beasts; besides one or two spare camels in case of emergency.
went to Mesopotamia, &c.--A stranger in those regions, who wishes to obtain information, stations himself at one of the wells in the neighborhood of a town, and he is sure to learn all the news of the place from the women who frequent them every morning and evening. Eliezer followed this course, and letting his camels rest, he waited till the evening time of water drawing.
12. And he said, O Lord God of my master--The servant appears worthy of the master he served. He resolves to follow the leading of Providence; and while he shows good sense in the tokens he fixes upon of ascertaining the temper and character of the future bride, he never doubts but that in such a case God will direct him.
15-21. before he had done speaking . . . behold, Rebekah came out--As he anticipated, a young woman unveiled, as in pastoral regions, appeared with her pitcher on her shoulder. Her comely appearance, her affable manners, her obliging courtesy in going down the steps to fetch water not only to him but to pour in into the trough for his camels, afforded him the most agreeable surprise. She was the very person his imagination had pictured, and he proceeded to reward her civility.
22. the man took a golden earring, &c.--The ring was not for the ear, but the nose; the armlets, such as young women in Syria and Arabia still appear daily at wells decked in. They are worn from the elbow to the wrist, commonly made of silver, copper, brass, or horn.
23-27. And said, Whose daughter art thou?--After telling her name and family, the kind-hearted damsel hastened home to give notice of a stranger's arrival.
28. and told them of her mother's house these things--the female apartments. This family was in an advanced stage of pastoral life, dwelling in a settled place and a fixed habitation.
29-31. Rebekah had a brother . . . Laban ran out--From what we know of his character, there is reason to believe that the sight of the dazzling presents increased both his haste and his invitation.
32-49. the man came into the house, &c.--What a beautiful picture of piety, fidelity, and disinterestedness in a servant! He declined all attention to his own comforts till he had told his name and his errand.
50. Then Laban and Bethuel answered--The brothers conduct all the marriage negotiations, their father being probably dead, and without consulting their sister. Their language seems to indicate they were worshippers of the true God.
53. And the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and . . . gold--These are the usual articles, with money, that form a woman's dowry among the pastoral tribes. Rebekah was betrothed and accompanied the servant to Canaan.
64. she lighted off the camel--If Isaac were walking, it would have been most unmannerly for her to have continued seated; an inferior, if riding, always alights in presence of a person of rank, no exception being made for women.
65. she took a veil, and covered herself--The veil is an essential part of female dress. In country places it is often thrown aside, but on the appearance of a stranger, it is drawn over the face, as to conceal all but the eyes. In a bride it was a token of her reverence and subjection to her husband.
67. And Isaac brought her into his mother's . . . tent--thus establishing her at once in the rights and honors of a wife before he had seen her features. Disappointments often take place, but when Isaac saw his wife, "he loved her."

That's a shock. I read some of michael's interviews. He seemed pretty open and all that. I'm guessing that when gay men do str8 or bi scenes, they believe no gay male fans would know about their str8/bi work. They are assuming that gay men don't watch str8 or bi porn. Still stupid for michael to say it was not him when we can just pop in the dvd and watch him clear as day eating pussy!
HOOK: E-zine By, For, and About Men in the Sex Industry
Interview with Michael Brandon
By Daniel, NYC
HOOK: A lot of bisexuals, particularly bisexual men such as yourself, encounter disrespect (for lack of a better word) by both the gay community and straight society. Have you had any such experiences?
Michael Brandon: I haven't received much disrespect in the community at all pertaining to any of my sexual orientation. Putting it out there that I am BI sexual opens UP a whole market for me.
HOOK: Considering you are a prominent figure in gay porn culture, how has it been to meet or even date women?
MB: I don't date women. My bisexuality is only stated because I was married at one time. I don't have a problem fucking women. Much more attracted to a man though. The term that would fit better would be...."straight for pay."
HOOK: I assumed a male client, which leads me to ask, do you or have you had any female clients?
MB: I don't have any female clients. I had one approach me about providing Monster's
sweet nectar so that she could have a child. No strings attached she said. I could dump my load and walk. She would take care of the child. Hmmm....let me think about that for a moment...."NOT!"
Michael Brandon is clearly bisexual...

Very hot posts---love seeing when a gay porn star fucks/eats out pussy. Thanks again!
Thank you for finding those videos. I wouldn't have known about some of them. I've heard of the Blake Harper bi movie for years (I think he had on MFM and one MFF?) but had never seen it. He looks like a natural. I think that was one of his last movies, sadly.
@eggsel: at least you got a glimps of michael brandon's true nature, i learned long ago not to join a porn actor's fb, myspace, or twitter pages or friends list. I learned this from jim bentley's yahoo group, "Never again"! Most are evasive and good at eluding their fans questions. They tell you to ask them anything but they blame you for getting too personal. Believe it or not- there's still self loathing and some hatred among openly gay actors. I used read the "ASK"! section of atkol forums where porn stars open themselves (no pun intended) to questions from fans. i remember Grant Woods being evasive about the bi scene he did with his boyfriend dino dimarco. he completely skipped the question. just like so many others. i'm not saying these are mean people but for some reason they won't discuss any str8/bi work. its as if they are distancing themselves from it. alot of gays hated on Jack Wrangler including me at times, but he seemed the most honest. and he used the same name for all his gay/str8 porn work.
Why do you find that hot? Do you believe his being gay is somehow wrong or not complete?
Logan McCree Broke Up With Vinnie D'Angelo And Now Has A Girlfriend. Will He Leave Porn For Good? - QueerClick
This gay porn actor, Logan McCree broke up with his boyfriend and has moved in with a woman and admits to being a gay guy fucking a woman^
Hmmm I actually understand Logan here..
I saw a few short clips of Brandi Belle (I think that's her name) and the titles suggested she was helping a gay guy who wanted to be with a woman (the first was her trying to get him hard, the second he was fucking her). But in the clips the two of them never mention his being gay, he just at the end thanks her for making his dream come true, and she says, "yay, team," or something. I went to her site and didn't see anything which matched this description. Did she ever actually do anything like this or did someone who put the preview clips up just add that element all on their own?
"It's strange to have a creation out there, a deeply mutated version of yourself, running loose and screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel." Dexter Morgan
How does that even work? I mean, if you are 100% gay why would you have sex with a woman? how would you even get hard? Then again, I suppose it's all just fantasy and I'm over-thinking this.
"It's strange to have a creation out there, a deeply mutated version of yourself, running loose and screwing everything up. I wonder if this is how parents feel." Dexter Morgan
Been a while, any updates?
The very gay Dustin Reeves now does transsexual porn. He was in an orgy scene with Cherry Torn, but they did not interact.
VERY hot thread
But that only applies to you and those who share such perceptions.
You know, I find the idea of watching other gay men having sex with women to be a turn-on (but that's all it is for me, and I personally tried to picture myself having sex with a woman... it didn't do anything for me, only when I pictured other gay guys doing it - so I can't say I have a personal desire to get it on with a woman - besides, while I can socialize with women, I just don't see them as sexually appealing in a manner that would make me want to have sex with them).
As for orgasms... they are pretty much the same for me whether I masturbate on heterosexual porn or gay porn - I do enjoy seeing a bare penis going inside a hole, making all kinds of gooey mess and cumming inside (but hearing the woman loud and clear can be an annoying distraction).
Other than that, the notion that a 'man' is somehow less than what he is or 'incomplete' because he doesn't do vagina/women is quite frankly, ridiculous.
Then again, I don't ascribe to society's ridiculous notions of 'masculinity' or 'macho'. Granted I can find such aspects a turn on in another guy, but its not a defining characteristic of being a 'man' - and a guy is certainly not 'diminished' in any capacity if he is into men only and breeds them instead.
I agree with you about the whole concept of maculinity deksman2. I mean, having sex with a man does not change how I feel as a man. In fact, I felt even more masculine and powerful when I do it (as a top and a bottom), being able to control their orgasms with my skills! haha! That's the icing on the cake (pun intended).
Sex with women on the other hand, is just sex to me. I don't feel any different except from the fact that the female anatomy is much softer and self-lubricating. I can safely say that I'm mostly gay but when the time comes a pussy can still enjoy what I have to offer.
And yes, gay guy fucking women in porn? Hell yeah it is fucking hot!
"... You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you ..." - Colours of the Wind by Vanessa Williams
I was delighted to see a whole thread devoted to this fantasy, which is one that I find hot. I mainly date cis-women and transwomen, but definitely have a taste for cute, androgynous gay or bi twinks, so if anyone could specifically recommend scenes where the male partner is a young, smooth-skinned pretty boy, that would be fantastic. I did check out a few of the films mentioned, but the guys were pretty masculine and bearish, and not really my type. P.S. Several guys in this forum expressed a real-life interest in fooling around with a female partner, but said it was difficult to find someone who was down with the idea. It may not be much consolation if you live in a tiny town with limited networking opportunities, but there ARE women within the LGBT community who get where you're coming from, and who would love to explore and experiment with you under the right circumstances. I've been the go-to girl a few times with my own curious male friends, and the experiences were fantastic
Can relate to that the first woman i fucked when i was 40 after over 10 years of her and her husband trying to get me to fuck her. We are both clean and she badly wanted to have my warm cum in her pussy. found out later that she was not on the pill and they planned it that way and she got pregnant to me! And only recently did they tell me. She latter suffered a miscarriage.
See my other posts for pics of that night under any gay men and pussy thread.
"Gay guy fucking a woman" porn? That too much of an anomaly to me. There'd have to be a story behind
such a scene. Like if that was the basis in an adult movie, having some sort of plot that led up to that,
but otherwise it doesn't make sense to me.
I do like the idea, however, of a straight woman watching gay men fuck, like how straight men like watch-
ing lesbians. I really like the idea of women being aroused by that sort of stuff.

It's been a while since i've peeked in on this thread. Omg! this thread took on a whole new format....almost. It seems every body here is still gay since no one wants or desire to date, marry, or live with women. any wayyy... I think i have a couple of new up dates. A gay czech model named George Basten did a bi scene, he goes by the name "Jerry Bee". the movie is called Bareback bisex tv channel. gay model Scott Andrew did a straight scene in a movie called Young Models#6. Scott Andrew is the husband of gay star Sebastian Rio. Scott is not as popular as Sebastian so you may have never heard of him. 80's and 90's canadian gay hunk Danny Brown did a few bi flicks too. he is gay. Dominic pacifico did a straight for pay scene at kink.com, or one of those femdom sites. I heard that the late Joey Stefano did some bi work, but i guess it's out of print so we will never get to see it. Well bye bye for now.
I also read some where that Jesse Santana was thinking about doing a straight for pay scene.
There is a clip of Joey Stefano from one of his bi movies where he is fucking Sharon Kane (like most gay men did) and he does not use condoms. Go to xhampster then bisexual then page 24 or click on pages till you come till 8th may 2012.
has a lot of clips from other bi movies and has 3 clips of Michael Brandon in his bi movies.
And, of course, Joey got rimmed by Madonna!Joey Stefano did some bi work, but i guess it's out of print so we will never get to see it. Well bye bye for now.
BS.you're offensive and anti-gay. Pathetic. Homophobic trolls.
this thread is dying ;(
Well let's stop theat Yaoi. Do you guys have any new porn of gay guys and girls together? I cant find any really. I wish I could. Have any of you gay guys made morn of your own with girls?
xhamster bisexual may 22 2012 Curious cd1 &2. about gay guys fucking lesbians.
Why do gay guys find this appealing?This is wrong, on so many levels, and kind of offensive to both women, and gay men.
I've watched some of Buck Angel's porn and I have to say it is pretty hot seeing him get double penetrated by two men.

Zipper Front Contrast Dress
Beautiful Dress, Runs A Bit Large
I bought this dress for new year's eve with a chunky black necklace and got tons of compliments. It is a beautiful dress, however runs a bit large. I am 5'4", and a muscular 160lb with 36DD bust, 41" hips, and 31" waist. I ordered a large to be safe and the waist was a bit loose on me, as well as the rest of the dress not being quite as form fitting as the picture shows. Despite this, I loved the dress enough that I still wore it! You may want to size down if you order this for yourself.
January 17, 2013
Love it
This dress looks simple but it's so cute on. It is stretchy and very flattering. The black faux leather waistband gives even more definition to your curves. I'm 138lbs, 36-27-42... I tried the only size they had left and surprisingly it fit amazining.... it was an XS. I couldn't believe how perfect it fit, granted it was very form fitting but the length was just right, not too far above my knees so it was still classy. The only thing I would say is to watch your waist and the smaller sizes as the band on the waist doesn't stretch much. Overall, I loved it.

The issue at hand revolves around the U.S. Department of Justice's belief that the Cleveland School District continues to practice a form of segregation by operating separate middle schools and high schools, which are nearly 100 percent black schools .
Davidson, who visited the Cleveland School District before making his decision, did not order consolidation of the high schools and middle schools.
"The Court notes that the predominantly African-American junior and high schools —East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School — are actually housed in newer and probably superior facilities than their counterparts located on the west side of the former railroad tracks," wrote Davidson.
"Upon touring the facility at East Side High School, the trophy cases for athletic achievement reminded the Court of what you might see at the University of Alabama. The president of the School Board, who is a graduate of East Side High School, testified at the hearing that there exists a long prideful legacy among the alumni of this institution."
"We were very pleased that Judge Davidson came to Cleveland and toured the school. We wanted him to come," said Cleveland School District Attorney Jamie Jacks. She explained he visited all the school and peaked in classrooms and the cafeterias.
Davidson noted that magnet schools were a positive force in the school district and that he was pleased with the organization of the schools and their ability to attract students of all races.
"Cleveland School District is encouraged to continue developing and expanding its magnet school programs, specifically with its proposals to establish magnet programs at D.M. Smith Middle School and East Side High School," wrote Davidson in his judgment. "In the opinion of the Court, the District has clearly demonstrated with its two magnet elementary schools, Bell Academy and Hayes Cooper Center, that magnet schools can result in increasingly racially integrated public schools."
However Davidson did order the district to make some changes.
"The Court is of the opinion that although the District has demonstrated some success with its magnet programs, it is now time for this Court to intervene and state its opinion as to a plan that will fall within the parameters of prevailing constitutional and case law," he wrote.
"The Court is of the opinion that the attendance zones, as defined by the former railroad tracks in Cleveland, perpetuate vestiges of racial segregation. The high school and junior high school students should have a true freedom of choice to attend either high school and either junior high school.
"Accordingly, the Court orders that the heretofore-established attendance zones shall be abolished, thus establishing an open-enrollment procedure."
Jacks said, "Beginning next school year, every child will have the choice where they want to go school." Bell and Hayes Cooper will maintain the admittance programs and elementary schools will remain neighborhood schools.
"The District shall now work to establish procedures for pre-registration to ascertain the projected enrollment at each high school and each junior high school for the 2013-2014 school year. This pre-registration should be concluded by April 1, 2013. In the event that the existing facilities are inadequate to meet the projected registration, the Court will then address the matter with the parties as to an appropriate utilization of existing facilities," continued the opinion.
Davidson also ordered that the majority-to-minority transfer program, which allows a student of majority race at one school to transfer to a school where the student's race was a minority be abolished.
"The requirement for his race to be a minority in the transferee school is eliminated, thus permitting any child within the District to enroll in either of the high schools or junior high schools, regardless of the racial composition of the student body at such schools.
"The Court is of the opinion that this arrangement will permit a true freedom-of-choice enrollment as to both the high school and junior high school grades. In the opinion of the Court, this true freedom-of choice arrangement will meet the constitutional requirements."
Jacks said this Davidson's order allows for an expansion of the student's ability to choose where to go to schools.
"In the event transfers under this system result in a significant numerical imbalance in the high schools, Cleveland High School and East Side High School, and/or the junior high schools, Margaret Green Junior High School and D.M. Smith Middle School, the Court will address this problem accordingly," Davidson wrote.
This case began on July 24, 1965, when numerous individual plaintiffs sued the Bolivar County Board of Education, including the Cleveland School District, which was known at the time as Bolivar County School District Number 4. The plaintiffs argued that the board had white-only and black-only schools.
In 1965, Judge Claude Feemster Clayton ordered the board of education to submit its first plan of desegregation and then in the 1967-1968 school year Clayton ordered the board to desegregate faculty.
Judge William C. Keady was assigned the case on Sept. 9, 1968, and ordered that by the 1970-1971 school year students would be assigned to attend a particular school in the district based on the zone of residence that the student lived within.
In his signed order Keady wrote, "the district should employ or assign not less than one of six classroom teachers of a different race … in each of its schools ."
The district has been under the supervision and jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi since 1965.

I use Pam cooking spray. Snow slides right off.
Not recommended. It can stain your dish after a while.

I am lazy. But my cheapness far outweighs my laziness.

Why would you be so Cheap when once you do it you are done and you are able to get HDTV thruout the winter months without the pain of having to go outside and clean the dish off???
Amazing how cheap some people can be!!!

We had 2 or 3 inches of wet snow overnight and the dish had snow on it this morning.
It looks like there might have been a freezing rain before it changed to snow.

What would be considered a snowfall signifigant of interfering with the signal? I am in Maine as we can have big Nor'easters....next to nothing yet this year though.
I am not against adding a heater but not if its not nessesary. But i will not climb on the roof after every dusting of snow either.
Posted 26 December 2011 - 07:17 PM
I just had a DirecTv Slimline SWiM8 with 6 receivers set up today. The dish had to be located on the corner on the grage roof due to line of sight. This is a 30' climb as well. Snow never crossed my mind until reading this thread.....

Wet heavy snow blocks the signal.

Is the dish way up there due to line of site, or did tech just put it up there. A dish relocation is $49, if it can be placed where you may clean it off while standing on the ground. Pam a big no-no folks as over time it get sticky and will cause snow / ice to stick. Rain-X or DuPont Snow/Ice repellant far better solutions.
i really need some help with a issue i have with snow building up on my direct tv satilite dish when it snows. When it snows i have to climb 30ft to get to my satalite and clean the snow off of it with a broom. I just went to lowes and bought a 30ft extension ladder, and a pole with a soft broom attached to it, to clean the snow off of the dish. Now its getting a little dangerous to be up that high to try to keep the dish clean. Also a worker from lowes told me about a product called; du pont teflon snow and ice repellent. They say it helps prevent snow and ice build up on many things such as snow blowers, shovels the underneath of your car, and snowmobiles. Will this product work or harm my direct tv dish, or is there anything else i can use besides water now that my water supply for the outside is froze now. And i used a black trash bag to cover the dish but the signal wasn't the same. And the heaters are to expensive to buy and run new electric to the roof to be plugged in all winter long. Can any one please help me with this issue?

Sooper Soaker squirt gun filled with warm water.
That is what I use...

Posted 08 February 2012 - 03:33 PM
I use Super Soaker filled with RainX winter formulation. Not just good for melting snow, but gives that RAINx micro-layer so future water/snow will bead off the dish. Problem with spraying pure warm water at the dish is that you do melt off what's there, but you end up with a water layer on the dish that will freeze right back up again.
Was about to post a squirt gun of some type and windshield washer fluid. the -30° kind.

You can spray Pam cooking spray on dish.
Yea, if you want the dish to collect every drop of sap and dust in the air once it gets sticky in the sun. Nu finish (for cars) http://www.amazon.co...duct/B000BPSW7C works pretty well, but a dish heater is the correct answer if you have so much snow it sits in the dish.

MORRISSEY: Campbell isn't Cutler's equal, win or lose Monday
BY RICK MORRISSEY firstname.lastname@example.com November 18, 2012 7:14PM
Chicago Bears quarterback Jason Campbell (2) is seen on the field during warmups before an NFL football game against the St. Louis Rams in Chicago, Sunday, Sept. 23, 2012. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)
Article Extras
Updated: December 20, 2012 6:26AM
Imagine for a moment that Jason
Campbell leads the Bears to a victory Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. It won't take much imagination, given that many of you true believers imagined the Bears going 16-0 before the season began, the way you have every year since you were swaddled in a blue-and-orange blanket in the neonatal unit.
But work with me here. Our imaginary scenario has Campbell leading an improbable victory and, more than that, playing well. He completes 19 of 25 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns. No interceptions, no fumbles and body language that says, ''I love life, my teammates, football, the officials and especially you, the viewing audience!''
How soon before you people think he should be the Bears' starting quarterback for the rest of the season? My guess is, by the third quarter of the game against the 49ers. Crazy talk? Not if you've paid attention to how NFL fans react to successful backups and how Bears fans tend to go all in at the first whiff of victory.
You could feel all of this coming on like a fever last week. At least one of the radio talk shows attempted to make the case that Campbell might be a better fit than Cutler for coach Lovie Smith's philosophy, even when Cutler's concussed head is defogged. The thinking is that Smith puts such a premium on no turnovers by his offense that the more buttoned-down Campbell might work better than the tie-dyed Cutler, who throws the ball with no fear and little discretion.
Sure, if you say so.
If the Bears upset the 49ers, I expect a crowd to meet Campbell at O'Hare and carry him off on its shoulders. I say this with history as my backup. Before a Monday night game in 1989 in Washington, John Elway got sick after eating chipped beef on toast at the White House. Gary Kubiak started in his place that day — Nov. 20 — and led the Denver Broncos to a 14-10 victory against the Redskins.
Kubiak was a fine backup, a guy who knew the offense inside and out but was limited physically. And by that I mean he couldn't hold Elway's mouth guard. But it wasn't long — say, by time the gun went off signaling the end of the game — before fans began sending letters to the Broncos clamoring for Kubiak and agitating for the overthrow of Elway.
This was pre-email but post-Pony Express. Kubiak was more than sheepish about the attention. He, more than almost anyone, knew how gifted Elway was. He saw it every day in practice. Kubiak rolled his eyes and tried to smother the noise. But that didn't stop fans from calling the talk shows and calling for his ascendancy.
That, friends, is what I anticipate should Campbell pull off the upset against the 49ers. Many of you will say that Campbell takes care of the ball better than Cutler and that, given how good the Bears' defense is, a game manager is exactly what the team needs. Some of you are tired of Cutler's inconsistency.
Allow me to head you off at the forward pass: Forget it. The chances of Campbell taking Cutler's job are about the same as Michael Jordan swearing off all worldly possessions. The Bears are paying Cutler a lot of money. They have backed him through thick and thin. Campbell has started 70 games in a seven-year career. He has been above-average but not special.
That won't stop the talk, of course. This is the NFL, where the second-string quarterback is a combination of hope, promise, dreams and yearnings. He is everything the frustrating starter isn't.
Until he has to play regularly.
The best thing that happened to Kubiak was when Elway returned to the starting lineup the next week. The backup returned to the sidelines, where the Cult of Kubiak lived on. In nine seasons, he started a total of five games.
Elway is in the Hall of Fame; Kubiak is the head coach of the Houston Texans. All is right with the world.
Cutler is no Elway, as he has been reminded over and over again. Campbell is better than Kubiak ever was. But unless the last seven seasons have been a mirage, Campbell is no Cutler.
So control yourselves, people. Get a grip. And, should the Bears beat the 49ers, I'll see you along the Jason Campbell parade route Tuesday.

Watch: Trailers for the 9 Shortlisted Best Foreign Oscar Contenders (Now With Convenient Subtitles!)
Features By Scott Beggs on January 23, 2012 | Be the First To CommentA little over a year after jailing and banning their most famous filmmaker from making movies, Iran might win an Academy Award for Best Picture. It would be a first for the nation whose government seems to strongly dislike creativity and freedom of speech, but its entry this year, A Separation, almost seems like a sure thing. Come February, writer/director Asghar Farhadi and Iran might be standing on the winner's podium. But it's not a done deal yet. A Separation and 8 other films were announced last week as part of the Oscar shortlist – just one step away from becoming an official nominee. They include a Danish comedy set in Argentina, a masculine drama about the underground world of illegal bovine growth hormones in Belgium, and something marvelous from Wim Wenders. It's, to say the least, a varied group. Except that almost all of them are dramas from writer/directors. So, yeah. Subject matter-wise though, it's a full spectrum. The final 5 will be announced tomorrow morning, but here first are the trailers from each of the 9 shortlisted movies from far off lands (like Canada):

So many colors to choose from! No back-seams and fine enough around the feet to keep your toes in. The spandex keeps them snug around your curves and narrow spots. We found them to be quite comfy - they wear well and look awesome!
One size:Label says one size fits most, 90-160 lbs. However we've found that many colors comfortably fit a 25 inch thigh and 45 inch waist with plenty of extra length in the torso!
The Beige seems to have less stretch than the other colors, drop us a line if you want to make sure they'll work for you.
Plus Size: Label says fits 150-200 lbs. They had plenty of stretch for 25 inch thighs and 46 inch hips, though more sensitive tummies might not like the waistband. Double seam in the rear. The maximum inseam and hip stretch combo we found these fit was a 32 inch inseam with a 50 inch hip.
Additional Info: Thanks to Roller Girl B-17 for the image of the royal blue fishnets! She gives them very high praises for being almost as tough as she is, and not snagging for anything!

Dr. McDougall's Organic Tortilla Style All Natural Soup rocked my word hard last week when I tried it for the first time. Since then, I've set out to try and review as many of the varieties as I can, including the low sodium ones like the Dr. McDougall's Garden Vegetable Low Sodium Soup.
I've accepted that I might not find anymore as good as the tortilla soup, but this vegetarian friendly low sodium Garden Veggie soup was pretty good too. There's quite a vegetable medley going on in this soup - I spotted tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, celery, peas and green beans, all in plentiful amounts. The broth is soupy with a light tomato flavor and surprisingly, I didn't miss the salt - I didn't need to add any (something I did to the tortilla soup which has twice as much sodium).
Best of all - each 1 cup serving of Dr. McDougall's Garden Vegetable Low Sodium Soup provides only 6o calories, no fat, 290 mg sodium (12% of the daily value), 2 grams of fiber (8% of the DV), 2 grams of sugars and 3 grams of proteins. There is also 40% of the DV for vitamin C, 22% of the DV for calcium and iron, plus 26% of the DV for vitamin A.
The ingredients in this vegan and gluten free soup include filtered water, vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, peas, cabbage, green beans, garlic, parsley), potato starch, yeast extract, basil, sea salt, spices. I received samples of Dr. McDougall's Garden Vegetable Low Sodium Soup for review, but it's available on the Right Foods website for purchase at $17.94 for a case of 6 (18 ounce (510 gram) cartons).
This is something I will definitely be buying in the future - low calorie, all natural ingredients list and tasty too.

It seems nobody has lost any recordings, and not being able to record more shows is only happening to those with close to 200 hours of recordings.
I won't try to guess as to how many customers this will be affecting, but it just can't be that many.
Watch and delete some of your recordings and you'll be back to "normal" use.
Even if you do that, u will never be able to use as much disk space as before. 1 of the main reasons I paid to get the HR34 was for its amount of disk space for recordings, now they slashed it after they got my money. That is NOT ok with me and shouldn't be with anyone. That is false advertising! at the very least they could have warned us about this loss of space so we could prepare for it or let us have the option to opt-out of the software update

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency.

US team to brief cautious Turkey on alleged Iran plot
A US team will travel to Turkey soon to brief Turkish authorities on what
the US alleged a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United
States on American soil.
A US team will travel to Turkey soon to brief Turkish authorities on what
the US alleged a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United
States on American soil.
The US has decided to send interagency teams after some countries have
asked for additional information on the plot, denied vehemently by Iran,
the Associated Press reported, citing a State Department official. In
addition to Turkey, the US teams will also visit Russia and China, two
countries that have reacted with caution to the US statements on the Iran
That the US officials will provide further briefing to Turkish officials
is a sign that Turkey may be viewing the US and Saudi accusations against
Tehran with some skepticism.
No Turkish official has publicly commented on the issue since US
authorities announced on Tuesday that they broke up the plot by two men US
linked to the Iranian government to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in
the United States.
"We've laid the facts before them," US President Barack Obama said of
world leaders. He said once they analyze them, "there will not be a
dispute" over what happened.
However, the State Department conceded on Thursday that the response from
foreign governments was initially skeptical.
"When you look at these details, it seems like something out of a movie,"
said department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. "And that's always the first
reaction. That was the first reaction when this effort was briefed to some
senior folks in this government," she said. "But as you begin to give more
detail on what we knew and when we knew it and how we knew it, it has
Washington is seeking a "vigorous response" from around the world, on top
of increased sanctions and pressure against Iran from the United States
The US says the Iranian plotters hired a would-be assassin in Mexico who
was a paid informant for the US Drug Enforcement Administration and told
US authorities all about their plot.
US diplomats have given their host governments information about the
alleged plot.
At the United Nations, US Ambassador Susan Rice also briefed top envoys
from the 14 other Security Council nations on Wednesday. Allies said the
evidence she presented clearly showed the involvement of Iranian officials
but left unanswered the question of whether Iran's top political and
religious leaders knew about the plot.
Russian and Chinese diplomats, on the other hand, reacted cautiously when
asked whether they found the evidence presented by Rice and other US
officials to be credible.

Miller Park Drunk's Finest Hour
Off-Base August 30th, 2010
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Miller Park Drunk's Pants Party was a huge success. It seemed like everyone who came wanted to have a good time and I think that everyone there got exactly what they wanted and more. There were little problems here and there, but none of it ended up having an effect on anyone's good time and that's all you can really ask for.
The party started right when people were allowed in the park at 10 AM (nearly half the party showed up right at ten on the dot) and didn't stop for some until about the third inning when a combination of the kegs being empty and the cops telling us to go inside did the party in. (Honestly, this was probably for the best.)
While lasting at most four hours, the party (not including the game which was also nice, Braun was 4 for 4 with a homerun and a broken arm) had a little bit of everything and in some ways was a perfect representation of this site and what we try to do around here. If you wanted to talk about baseball the whole time, you could do that. If you wanted to get really drunk, you could do that and if you wanted stuff your face with ballpark food, you could that too. There was a little something for everyone and great times were had. I honestly can't picture it working out any better than it did.
I'd like to thank everyone that came and participated. I just brought everyone together, but you all did as much to make it fun as anyone else. I can't thank you enough. Everyone had their party pants on yesterday and the party was better for it. I'd also like to thank a few people specifically:
- Ryan: For being an amazing cook and keeping the food flowing throughout the park. This party wouldn't have been half as good without the spread he created and executed.
- Larry from wezen-ball: Who did just as much to promote this party and get people to come as I did. I don't know why he did it, but I'm glad he did.
- The girls with the personalized shirts: For bringing the fun and keeping everyone involved. Lucky guy I am to have friends like you.
- Tyler Maas: For being an endless source of comedy, intentionally and unintentionally, for the entirety of the party.
I put in a lot of work to pull this party off, but in the end the entire thing came off completely effortless and fun. It was just a good time for everyone and that's why I can't wait for next time and neither can anyone else. (Coming in 2011, Pants Party 2: Electric Boogaloo.) There will be a next time next season and when it happens I expect at least 90% of the people who were there yesterday to return for the squeakquel and in the end that's the best thing I can say about it.
Also, this happened. Read the rest of this entry »

As much as I used to hate when KMart had all their cards locked up and you had to get the manager to open the case to get a pack (that was back in the early 90s when 1989 Upper Deck and 1990 Leaf started the trend of packs selling for more than $1 each), nowadays I would rather see that come back. As I can't imagine a pack searcher blatantly searching or opening product with the manager standing there.

I think what happens in a lot of stores is they are so busy they don't have time to watch them.

I guess you have to pick your battles! Great luck though with the luck...

I don't agree with pack searching and frankly don't care about it, but it is sad when folks come to buy a few packs of cards and can't get anything because of that. Only reason why when my kids ask to get a few packs of cards I normally will get the from the LCS (gotten more hits from LCS than Target it seems). Only problem is that the LCS doesn't sell many packs of single cards, and thier selection is limited. I'm stuck getting blaster boxes or hanging rack packs to ensure they are good packs. I guess I'm lucky enough to not have that big of an issue with blaster boxes being cut open and stolen and such, at least not that bad at the local stores I go to. I'm not a huge Press Pass fan, but may try a blaster box to see what I think of them. Cheaper cards maybe, but some may still yield some good hits..

Field Museum Snake Types Collection
The Field Museum has imaged all of its primary snake types. A "type" is a preserved specimen that the published description of a new species is based on. This interactive map will allow you to zoom in and see the location where all of our type specimens were originally collected around the world. Hovering over locations will tell you the current species name for the type and provides a link to the museum's database for images and more information. The image shown here is the holotype of Atractus obesus, endemic to Colombia, which was described by the late Hy Marx in 1960.
