Loving to hate RP descriptions {WoW}
Apr 20th 2008 9:20AM Ya know, for all the "bad" RP descriptions out there, there are also a lot of really good ones. So I wouldn't say "most players have horrible, awful descriptions"... =/ Heck I think I've only ever seen one vampire one.
I dunno, maybe the RP servers I play on just don't get very "creative". But I always hear about these horrible awful RP descriptions and I rarely see them... the worst I've seen are ones where people can't spell. =P

Breakfast Topic: Attractive men {WoW}
Jan 4th 2008 1:39PM Okay maybe I'm the only one here who thinks so but honestly I find ALL of the races and genders to be rather aesthetically pleasing. I like the way Blizz designed things, and that's that. I mostly play girls because I am a girl, but that doesn't mean I don't like the male models. *shrug*
When it comes down to thinking a certain character is "attractive" it's mostly in the voice for me. The undead vendor who goes "And you aarrrre?" ...yeah, I love that. Same with the male night elf vendor who says "My goods are of the highest quality." Heck even the male tauren who sounds like Worf from Star Trek: TNG. Mmmyep.

We have a deal with the pigeons. They get out of the way of our cars, and we look the other way when they defecate on statues.
But dammit, we draw the line on in-stadium defecation, especially when the pigeons assemble in vicious poop spreading hoards and attempt to drive away all human life. Welcome to Denver, where fans in one section of Sports Authority Field at Mile High have resorted to wearing towels on their heads as a sort of homemade pigeon crap umbrella.
No, seriously. This is happening.
The crap bombing is taking place in section 306, and it's not exactly a recent development either.
From the Denver Post:
Broncos fans who paid big money for their seats say pigeons living overhead are doing their business right into the crowd, and it's been going on for years.
Fans in section 306 say the birds have nested in the rafters of the overhang at the club level, and nothing has been done about their complaints.
Allison Harden and her husband Jeff say they were guests of a season ticket holder at Sunday night's game. Allison says before the first snap, she had already been hit with pigeon droppings.

You know that the way you speak and act can influence your kids, but how do you know what actions or behaviors may contribute to bullying? Because bullying isn't just between school kids on the playground or in the classrooms — it can occur between adults, too, whether it's online, in the workplace, or even sitting in traffic.
Here are some things you can do to curb your own bullying behavior:
Talk to your kids: One 2012 study by Children's Medical Center found that parents who communicate with their children are less likely to have children that bully others. Communication is as easy as asking your kids how their day was, what happened in school, or helping out with homework.
These conversations can be as simple as asking questions, like "Did anyone in your class have a hard time today?" If the answer is yes, ask your student if there was any way they could have helped, or what they do in the future. Even brief conversations present a good opportunity to come up with concrete solutions they can use later.
Making a concerted effort to spend positive, encouraging time with your kids is one of the most effective ways to ensure that your children don't bully others, and that they'll tell you if they're being bullied.
Be a good example: Kids model their behavior after the behavior of important adults in their lives — including their parents, teachers, coaches, and other community leaders. Which means that your own bullying behavior, like name-calling, aggressive speech, or forceful behavior, might seem acceptable.
For example, the next time you feel angry because someone cut you off in traffic, instead of yelling or gesturing, take a couple of deep breaths and say something like, "It makes me feel really frustrated when I see people driving unsafely. When that happens I really have to take a deep breath to calm down because I know I need to be calm to drive safely." This not only draws attention to your own feelings of frustration, it helps children see that there are constructive, safe ways to express similar emotions.
As Education.com points out, "Any time you speak to another person in a mean or abusive way, you're teaching your child that bullying is OK."
Help your kids understand what bullying looks like and how they can stop it: Bullying has a lot of manifestations, and some may be more obvious than others. Ask your kids to point out instances of bullying they see around them, whether it's on TV, in school, or even in the home. Then, try role-playing or brainstorming about what they might do if they encounter bullying. Make a list of actions that can help stop bullying, such as safely intervening, telling a trusted adult, or otherwise seeking help.
Not only will empowering your student to speak up and take action help you become a more positive role model, it'll also boost your child's confidence — which has been shown to reduce the likelihood that they themselves will be bullied.
Make tolerance and inclusiveness a family priority: Students who aren't being bullied hold the power to intervene and stand up for those who are – but only if they've been taught that it's the right thing to do.
Talk to your children about acceptance of those who are different, and the importance of helping others who are in need. Ask them questions like "Have you ever seen someone get bullied for being different? What did you do?" If they answer that they didn't intervene, come up with solutions for future events.
Another good way to lead by example is to volunteer at a local charity as a family. Not only will this expose your children to people who are different and in need, it will also empower them to help others.

COIMBATORE: Twenty three students of Government Law College in Coimbatore were arrested on Thursday by rural police for conducting a sit in protest and preventing other students and staff from entering the campus. Police have booked them under three IPC sections and students were taken by seven teams of rural police in their own vehicles to hand them over to their parents in their respective native towns.
On Thursday, at around 6.30 am, deputy inspector general of police (Coimbatore range) H M Jayaram, Coimbatore district SP, E S Uma and other police officers had entered the law college campus and removed 23 students from there. They were taken to the police recruitment school (PRS) campus and breakfast was provided to them.
Later, seven police teams were formed to hand the students over to their parents. Two students, hailing from Madurai, were taken to their home town by a police jeep. A police inspector, two sub-inspectors and three police personnel also went along with them.
Six students were sent to Gudalur in Niligris district, five were sent to Erode, Salem, Namakkal and Viluppuram in a tempo traveler vehicle along with an inspector and his team. A special team took three students to Pudukottai, Tiruvarur, Perambalur and three students were taken to Viluppuram, Cuddalore, Ariyalur. Two students had been sent to Virudhunagar and Tirunelveli in a police jeep along with police officials and a student was taken to Tirupur.
"The students will be produced before their parents and the police will get a written assurance from them that the students were entrusted safely in their custody. If the students were arrested and released soon after, they might get involved in another protest. So, officials handed them over to their parents," said a source.
When contacted, police officials refused to comment. Meanwhile, Coimbatore Government Law College principal S Ramasamy has suspended 31 students who conducted a sit in protest at the college campus from 24 July to 2 August. The college was closed indefinitely from July 28. The director of legal studies will announce the reopening date of the college.

I just got a phone call from Paul and Mandy. Paul say's that the somebody needs to get to Home Depot quick and pick up some castle grey paint! He call's the new color a "faded salmon color" and say's that people should be worried! Mandy say's she likes it and it's more of a "pale peach stone color". There you have it folks! No more confusion now! Mandy is going to send a photo to my cell phone after they finish riding PotC. Have I mentioned today how much I hate the two of them?!?! Just kidding! Love them...hate that they are at the MK without me!
They just called again....they were standing in front of the castle and Paul is taking this pretty bad. I just received the picture on my cell and I have to say....it isn't pink, but unless they are going to finish painting it all the way down I don't think it will look good. The top of the castle looks mismatched to the bottom. I would call the color maybe.... terra cotta. I do not have a cable to hook my cell up to my computer or I would share the photo with you guys. I told Mandy to be sure to upload a photo when she get's home.
Hahahahah, all this commotion is cracking me up. It's like a CIA op getting ready to unhatch. Shh....
Thanks Melis for posting for us...guys...it's really bad...whoever said that you can hardly see the color...yeah...is blind!!! It is not Walt Disney World's Castle....it is some representation of ALL OF THE OTHER CASTLES!!! I left another voice message for my guy in charge of this project and I'm trying to find out if it's permenant or not.....THIS COULD REALLY HURT MY BELIEF IN THE COMPANY...that they could do something this hidious!!! Everytime we passed it today all i could do was hyperventilate and think i was in Maeficents nightmare (Dream along with Mickey) Guys...I am thinking up a plan of action but cannot do anything until I hear back from the engineering team (THATS RIGHT I CALLED THEM ENGINEERS INSTEAD OF IMAGINEERS!!!! AFTER THIS THEY LOSE THEIR TITLE!!!). Oh my gosh...deep breaths....it really hurts to look at it!!! I will keep you posted!!!
Reading all this - which has been fun - makes the castle look really bad!!
I am eagerly awaiting some photos from somebody - anybody - so that we can see what is going on!!
"Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.I have never been able to confine that fun to office hours." ~ Walt Disney
I just can't believe they just snuck the color in. I don't want just any other Disney castle-- I want CINDERELLA'S BLUE CASTLE!!!!
And I laughed pretty hard at the Malificent's Nightmare comment- SO TRUE.
I read on another board that the "peach" is primer for a dark blue overlay....
Lou can you.......all mighty trivia king.......please find out if that's true????

i think we all know who the talent is in this motley crew. ttfn!
give me the red arrow all you want but the truth is, behind all the perez hilton exposure, unicorns and music production is an average-looking lass from blackpool whose covers sound like they belong at a *cough* low budget wedding.
to a friend i once described lady gaga as "(christina aguilera + ugly stick) – talent". it seems for little boots i can just slightly alter this musical equation to look like this…
(christina aguilera + ugly stick) (- talent) – mainstream success = little boots.
agreed man and let this be the end of it. nathan's music is what it is and i, for one, dig it. when everything being piped into your ears is over-polished, chart-hungry-bullshit, i crave nothing more than 90s-tinged garage rock. wavves were just one of the few bands that get put on a pedestal every year by certain music press and it's clearly a lot of pressure to take, especially with douches like us scrutinizing their every note,
i bet ed stringfellow, his booking agent, must be pretty pissed right now!
why was ida maria watching natasha khan skateboard through a planetarium whilst a completely superfluous wolf looked on, angrily?
cheers emi!
it's been a great few days for fans of rihanna's boobies.
thanks for the clarification.

DORAL, Fla. (AP) - Venezuelans living in the United States are reacting with cautious optimism that there will be change in their homeland following President Hugo Chavez's death.
In the Miami suburb of Doral, Venezuelans watched on television as the country's vice president, Nicolas Maduro, announced Chavez had died Tuesday. At a popular restaurant, one person cheered at the news, but the rest watched quietly and refrained from any celebration.
Doral has the largest concentration of Venezuelans in the U.S. Dora's mayor and police chief prepared a security and contingency plan in the event of Chavez's death. Many Venezuelans are expected to gather at restaurants and meeting spots in Miami, though few people immediately showed up.
There are nearly 190,000 Venezuelans in the United States. Many are strongly anti-Chavez.

Take for instance, Nervo. They started off as twin sisters Miriam and Olivia Nervo, both models turned songwriters, who didn't get their big break until they performed on Ultra's main stage in 2010. Scroll through this gallery and see some of today's top spinners on the decks pre-fame. -->

Five things I already miss about election year 2012
Undecided voters are among the most misunderstood voters out there, and election year 2012 was not only stressful for them, but also for me because I was white-knighting them. Registered voters who had already made up their minds on who to vote for with more than a couple of weeks to spare were flinging all sorts of disparagement and insults at undecideds, accusing them of being ignorant, lazy, stupid, detached from the American political process, and being coddled by politicians, thus causing the election discourse to be unnecessarily dumbed down to the level of a preschool classroom complete with naptimes and little boxes of milk.
That was just rude.
These undecided voters were being unfairly targeted for ridicule by folks who think they are so superior because they took the time and effort to research the candidates, their platforms and past voting records, and wanted to properly and thoroughly assess how current and future domestic and foreign policy leanings could potentially affect their lives and those of their families and friends.
Every chance I got I made sure to tell those bookish, uppity, intellectual types that undecided voters deserved the utmost respect for being involved in the political process at all, and Google-searching presidential candidates takes time away from really important things like watching people pop zits on YouTube, downloading porn and old Adam Sandler movies -- and chilling. Politics is confusing, what with all those people on cable news channels talking about what candidates wanna do rather than what they are wearing and who they are sleeping with, and it's just easier to wait until the last minute to make important decisions like who to vote for, and which diet vitamin water makes you fart less.
1. The swift kick in the ads.Who is this guy? He wasn't president for the last four years or anything.
I was thinking to myself in late 2011, "ZOMG! I sure wish that there were more political advertisements to enhance my mental stimulation and emotional well-being!" And like a fairy-wish granted to me on a massive 'shroom trip, they appeared. There were candidate and issue ads on the television, radio, on the sides of buses and taxicabs, on T-shirts, hoodies, bumper stickers, ballpoint pens, pet toys, frozen dinners, yard signs and on the caps of my Grammy's IBS medication bottles.
And then the ball dropped on 2012, and it got really crazy.
Apparently the surfeit of political ads enhanced the well-being of everyone around me as well. I found it charming when neighbors on each side of me had opposing yard signs -- one had "Obama/Biden" and the other "Romney/Wossisface" -- and every day one sign would be defaced in some way, and the next day the other one would have a steaming pile of fresh dog crap in front of it. When Halloween came around and parents in my neighborhood were ordering their children not to trick-or-treat at houses with window signs of candidates they didn't support, I thought that was adorable. And when I had to watch hours upon hours of television ads I found them very helpful, because otherwise how would I have heard that Mitt Romney had lamps in his houses made from the skins of poor people, or that Obama wore togas and wanted to hook up vacuum cleaners to rich peoples' wallets?
I heard some people complaining that there were just too many ads, but I thought there weren't enough ads, because how else was I going to learn about President Obama's secret plan to use helicopters to drop birth-control bombs and free abortion coupons on urban centers, or Romney's secret plan to bathe in the blood of poor people under the serene light of every full moon so that he could achieve immortality? I'm going to miss all the ads, most of all because now my emotions are in check, my neighbors are back to complaining about the price of cold cereal at the supermarket, and none of the things each presidential candidate said would happen actually happened. I'm bored now. I can't wait until the 2016 election -- or early 2014, when the ads will start up again.

with "Downton Abbey," as well as Oscar film. Watch Non Stop online nominee
Lupita Nyong'o)? How about the nice woman (Julianne Moore) inside Top Notch
using the surgical procedure scar tissue and the kind terms for any
nervous-about-flying Invoice?
From 61-years-old after work associated with sad dramas, Liam Neeson provides
Non Stop reinvented themself as a possible actions hero. His most recent and
greatest post-Taken thriller, Non Stop, sees the particular actor or actress
implementing his "particular pair of skills" with forty,500 feet above the
ground. Whilst aircraft hijacking films aren't anything new, the filmmaker's
have shrewdly incorporated any whodunit factor to set this one separate - not to
mention that the leading man with the motion picture is the one who hijacks the
plane. The movie works as both a good Agatha Christie type homicide secret and a
race in opposition to time thriller - although the particular plot is actually
ludicrous, Non Stop is consistently enjoyable.
Non Stop Because the film unwraps we all satisfy Invoice Signifies (Liam Neeson),
an alcoholic who needs a beverage prior to they can muster up the braveness for
everyone their obligation since oxygen marshal of your international flight
coming from Ny in order to London. It's divulged which "Non Stop" Expenses
features a questionable past as well as obviously come up later on within the
motion picture. We also satisfy the some other people on the plane, every
character shadier than the subsequent so we have reason to think in which any
person of these will certainly find yourself is the fantastic on-ship.
Mid-flight, Non Stop" Bill receives a good private message coming from an
individual on the flight threatening in order to eliminate a voyager each and
every 20 minutes except if $150 million will be transferred into a off-shore
bank account. From now on and because the name promises, the motion picture
delivers Non Stop pressure regarding which at fault occurs when the victims
start piling up. movie. Watch Non Stop online free Maybe it's the hot-headed
NYPD cop (Corey Stoll), or perhaps the babbling visitor (Scoot McNairy) or even
the brusque enterprise commuter (Nate Parker) or even the grumpy co-pilot (Jer
Butler Harner)? The options are usually apparently limitless, which can be of
absolutely no Non Stop" assistance to Expenses, since his unexplainable
antagonist will be making great upon his threat in order to destroy a traveler
every twenty minutes, actually inside hermetic area.
I personally loved "Non Stop", understanding that offers quite a bit related to
Liam Neeson. This individual provides plenty of credibility to the majority of
from the characters he or she performs, even if Expenses Represents is simply a
minor variance regarding Taken's Bryan Generators or perhaps the Grey's John
Ottway. You buy your pet like a badass air marshal as well as can't help but
grin whenever he's throwing ass. This individual actually is entirely "Taken"
setting the following, as well as it's great. I also loved many of the various
heroes on the flight, and while a lot of them fit an evident stereotype, we get
some good a silly joke from it. The actual film features a solid forged which
includes Julianne Moore, Corey Stoll, and Lupita Nyong'o, yet it's all about
Overseer Jaume Collet-Serra adds several good details for the flick. From your
approach text messages tend to be given to the climate on the airplane; you're
feeling absorbed straight away, even though points obtain kind of silly. The
actual dialogue isn't too razor-sharp and I needed to postpone my shock more I
believed I should in this form of flick, nevertheless it do keep myself
speculating (mostly). I used to be individually disappointed with that it
actually happens to be, and located the actual determination to be incredibly
foolish, however it was a good ride up to that time.
Movies arranged completely in a single can be tough to pull away but the
intelligent screenplay offers adequate figures as well as suspenseful
circumstances to carry our interest. It's the sort of film where you'll perform
any speculating sport along with Neeson's character, trying to keep a record of
the actual hints as well as dubious conduct through the passengers in the make
an effort to find out the particular think. Yet between the constant
creativities and also fatalities regarding characters which team you might have
pinned since the criminal : the show does a good job regarding tossing off your
own theories.
Neeson once again turns out to be any formidable action hero and the man gives a
few gravitas to be able to their performance as a possible psychologically
damaged/unstable protagonist. His habits within wanting to save the people is
quite hostile, usually leading to him or her ironically toughing most of them
upwards. Credit score is due to get a razor-sharp distort on an aged method as
our own excellent man accounts for hijacking the airplane to save lots of this.
Due to the passenger's obliviousness for the circumstance on board and Neeson's
hostile habits, most of the figures believe Neeson to become a theif that
contributes any mistaken id characteristic with a motion picture previously full
of difficult tale dynamics.

Some so-so about something…
June 25, 2010 in World 043 News
You know you want to…
Welcome back!
It's good to be back, been quite busy of late in my life, had some drama's with my car (I know what your thinking, and you're right… I *do* drive a 1985 Volvo) and other things that have kept me occupied. But don't think for a moment I'm not watching you. I'm always watching you.
Well now, the war is certainly getting interesting isn't it? It's getting interesting by… Not being really interesting at all. One side of the war has taken a good lead over the other, though of course having the lead before even half-time is not an assured victory at all, though it does put you in a good position to set-up the knock down against the opposing team in the second.
The Current War Stats:
The Current Rankings:
I thought today i would take a look at some other aspects of World 43, Turning out eyes away from the war in the south and the east, and looking towards to the north, and the going-on's there, starting with the biggest tribe in the north, Nuts!.
Interview with Slingzaar (Duke of Nuts!)
harbinger297: Well hi there, thanks for agreeing to this interview. Could you please explain a little about yourself, your history, and your position in World 43?
Slingzaar: I have played since the dawn of time…I still play in W5 as a baron of ~TSE~. But I've played in several worlds from 11, 28, 39, 40, 43, and 50. I have been in just about every tribal position from tribe peewee to duke.
I am currently the duke of Nuts, a small tribe of bandits that I'm molding into swamp ninjas, like myself.
harbinger297: That's quite a history, I'm sure you have experienced alot in that time. As we know, Nuts! formed after the disbanding of BORED!, and includes some former BORED! members. Do you believe Nuts! will be different than BORED!?
Slingzaar: It is very different. I kept the members from Bored that I knew had potential or I had brought over from the original Nuts. When we started, we were a pre-made…we got a little too big too fast, and had to regroup. Since we started alongside Bored, that was the logical choice.
harbinger297: Do you regret the merge between NUTS, BORED! and NwN?
Slingzaar: I'll admit, we took on a few too many people without proper integration…because of that we had inadequate participation. However, I can't say I regret it. We were able to scalp some excellent talent and pick up some easy inactive targets in that time-frame. Since Nuts was reformed, we try to only look forward, and to only use the past as an example of where we came from, and what we don't want to revert back to.
harbinger297: And what do you think the future holds for Nuts!? What are your plans for the upcoming weeks and months?
Slingzaar: Well, everyone should know that FRST and Nuts will one day go to war. The journey there isn't quite known. As for current plans, our diplomacy is pretty limited and we are working operations and exercises, as well as team-building…as lame as that sounds. I think it's important for us to be as cohesive as possible.
We are neither at war or at peace with anyone really, right now, we're simply co-existing and will flow with the tides of war where they may carry us.
harbinger297: The last war involving FRST and several of the players currently in Nuts!, resulted in victory for FRST. Do you believe it will be different next time?
Slingzaar: Yes, that is why we're doing what we're doing right now. We're tightening up our Ks and working better as a team.
The last war between Bored/FRST wasn't a war at all…it was a few players being singled out because they had gotten too big for their britches. When the going got tough, the quit or jumped ship. That will not be tolerated, and that certainly will not be how it goes this time around.
However, make no mistake, this war is a long time away. WMD and whoever Nuts makes as an enemy will be first. I'm not sure where AAA fits into the picture.
harbinger297: If Nuts! intends to war with FRST in the future though, why did you not side with WMD in the current conflict? What was your reasons behind the decision to stay out of it?
Slingzaar: WMD is a large tribe. Regardless the skill of FRST, it will take some time to eat their way into all of WMD. You must also consider that when Mario left, I talked with leadership of FRST. Given that most of the hostility towards us was spurned from El Chapo and Mario, they decided to a ceasefire. They intended to move one direction, and were thrown off that with conflict with Bored. Once those players were gone, they continued on their original path (WMD).
FRST has been honorable enough to let us get back on their feet and let me organize the tribe how I feel it should be. I have put people in place where they need to be, and look forward to sharpening our skills. It would be very un-manly of me not to return the same courtesy to FRST.
Given the size difference, a war with FRST will be a daunting task, which is why we need to grow as players and grow as a team if we are going to make any sort of impact.
harbinger297: Nuts! is still the largest tribe in the north though, at the moment. Do you think other tribes in the area, such as MANIC, Ni, or PK would help, or hinder you against FRST?
Slingzaar: That is a touchy subject. On one hand, they could be made allies, which would benefit. But, historically, it wasn't that effective to have allies against FRST.
However, unless some sort of NAP is offered, it will leave a rather large front open.
It is something we have pondered and taken appropriate steps in the case that they become one or another, but have no desire to worry about that otherwise at this moment.
harbinger297: I suppose it could either lead to a North Vs. South endeavor, or a surrounding of Nuts!. But what of the current issues, such as the skirmishes we have seen with MOAR !. What is happening there?
Slingzaar: They are what they are. Skirmishes. They have proven to be skilled players, which is perhaps why we've only engaged them in skirmishes. They deserve to be in W43, and they have helped us test our mettle, hopefully as we have done for them. There is no real hostility towards Moar…at least since this current leadership group was put into place.
harbinger297: And what of the fake war declaration on the external forums? Do you have any idea who this "s1ingzaar" is?
Slingzaar: LOL, no but I am very entertained and intrigued. People seem to think he is a member of WMD. Although I can't be sure, signs would point to that. This was certainly the first time I've seen anything like this, and I'd have to say that I am quite flattered that someone would pose as me.
harbinger297: Well it certainly sparked a bit of lively activity at least. Thank you for the taking the time to be interviewed, i hope you have had fun doing so. Do you have any final words to say about Nuts!?
Slingzaar: It was a great interview, very engaging.
I appreciate sharing this information.
Interview with N.DeMolay (Duke of PK)
harbinger297: Thank you for agreeing to being interviewed, could you tell me a little bit about yourself, your history, your tribe and your currrent position in World 43?
Nickolas: Well, first of all, thank you for providing me this chance of showing a little bit more about me and PK, which noone seems to know anything about. Starting with me, then. I am originally from World 1. Have played a lot there, and almost everything I know I learned there, with my tribe, which started with the name of SoTP. I have quit the game for some personal issues and came back day 31th of December. Soon PK was formed with me and 4 more players. We grew defensively as we were always a very small tribe with OwP and its "continuations" all around us. A tribe of our continent merged into us, giving us twice strength and we kept growing. The second merge was with DOW. With that and some more happenings we started our first war, with UTW family. Almost no losses, except of 2 inactives and many winnings. With the disband of Nomad we expanded more and with some new mates that joined, great guys like nk60, Apophas and Paeffgen.
We are working in consolidating our territories. And we keep few skirmishes with UTW(which has been changing names a lot..). In an overall thats pretty much it.
harbinger297: PK has been very quiet on the global scale, and hasn't been involved in any world wars, or wars involving top tribes as of yet. Is this something you were/are aiming for, or just chance?
Nickolas: Looking at the world maps of Nickjer you may see that we have Nuts!'s and FRST's villages on our maps. This shows our situation. We have been always on our own. And having relations with any of both of these two great tribes would put us in a ever harder position. World Wars, we were really small on the first and we can't hit WMD Family from here… But if the war comes to us, well, we will fight.
harbinger297: You are, as you pointed out, between two top, larger tribes who are lined up to go to war at some point, a tough position. Do you think you will follow LighT.'s footsteps, and try to ally with one or the other, or will you continue to stay neutral, and attempt to avoid becoming a target?
Nickolas: I really can't say. It depends on several things. Noone doubt both are great tribes and I really don't know who would win the fight, if the Nuts! or FRST declared on each other. "Attempt to avoid being a target" is not a way to play… We remain neutral while we can but we don't live with this goal.
harbinger297: You also share territory with CM who are being nobled by several tribes, and ~TDP~ who appear to be at war with MANIC, or skirmishing at least. Do you plan to war, support, merge, or doing nothing in regards to these tribes?
Nickolas: ~TDP~ is UTW. ~TDP~, NK and some of CM are former members of UTW who ran, trying to get away form the fighting. TDP is an enemie of PK. About CM, if they are on our territory, they will be pushed out. Actually you may see I guess one player have already been pushed out.
harbinger297: Oh i see. It is difficult to keep track of all the name changes. Are you confident that your tribe will be able to survive and prosper in World 43?
Nickolas: We survived until now, why wouldn't we prosper?
Yes, I can say I am confident of our survival and prosperation in this world.
[4:45:23 AM] harbinger297: What are you most proud of your tribe for accomplishing?
[4:48:31 AM] Nickolas: For remaining as united as we are when small, even now when we are the Rank 6. I have seen to many good tribes fall beacuse of the lack of such great partnership.
harbinger297: PK members are quite quiet on the external forums and in the public eye. Was this something you decided, or simply because the members don't wish to?
Nickolas: We rather keep our opinions to ourselves. I do post one time or another but just because we don't post don't mean we don't read it. Unfortunently the mate which was posting with me quitted, which make even less posts from PK there.
harbinger297: Well thank you for agreeing to this interview, and giving us a little bit of info about PK. Good luck in-game!
Nickolas: My pleasure.
Blast From the Past Interview with Scott (former co-player of chocolate bear/duke of FRST)
harbinger297: interview?
Scott: Sure
Let me get naked first
Ok nothing to hold me back now
harbinger297: /includes in interview
Scott: : D
harbinger297: so, whats it like without Tribal Wars now? Like a breath of fresh air in an open field, or like a breath of fresh air when being tossed off a building?
Scott: Which one is worse? Because that's what I would say. I have not completely dropped Tribal wars, but trying not to completely re-addict myself to the game. It is a great game
harbinger297: Well i think most of 43 wants you to come back and play with us again, are there any plans for this in the future?
Scott: I have tried for weeks to find a worthy co player. James and I (my old co player) share a pretty similar online time otherwise I would still be playing w43 actively. Last several times I looked into world 43 it seemed to be suffering from inactivity…which is unfortunate.
harbinger297: So your saying we need to force James to become nocturnal? That can be arranged…
Have you been following W43? What do you think of how FRST has done since you were gone?
Scott: James is a big time lawyer now. We cannot mess with his schedule. He has england football to worry about as well.
I have followed w43 as best I can. I was disappointed to see that Frst had not been so impressive against WMD the past 2-3 weeks, but I think it's due to inactivity. I still think Frst will come out on top (as usual) but it's not the best Frst is capable of. They seemed to be bored at present and I can't blame them.
harbinger297: Do you think there are any partiuclar tribes on W43 right now that could take them out?
Scott: I don't think anyone would disagree that Nuts! has the potential to do a lot of damage. They are the only tribe I think that would have a good chance of cutting Frst down. If they were smart they would hit WMD to remove that threat and then focus elsewhere.
harbinger297: AAA has done quite a bit of damage against WMD, what do you think would happen with FRST and AAA after the war?
Scott: Not quite sure. No offense to AAA but I don't think WMD has focused on them as much as they have against Frst. AAA is slightly blocked in their area and will need to make a huge push against WMD in order to improve their situation. They made a good move in working with Frst, they can really improve their position
harbinger297: Player-wise, mageknights (Nuts!) is still holding rank 1, and FRST have 13/20 top 20 spots. Who do you think are the "MVP's" of 43?
Scott: Players currently playing?
It is hard to say really. I think that Frst players are united and work well as a team. Looking at the others listed their in the top 25 a lot have got by on tribe hopping or laying low.
harbinger297: Last question. Will you stop being a nubcake and come back to the forums at least?
Scott: I check the forums regularly : P
With the falling activity levels there hasn't been much to comment on. I miss the active days of w43 and can honestly say I'm happy where I left off. Frst was amazing. Would play with any of them again at the drop of a hat….just need a coplayer : D
harbinger297: im sure we'll find you one, get back here nubzor : D
*Interview dissipates into spam.*
I hope you have enjoyed this weeks blog, check back next week for more interviews and goodies <3

"We've got stuff that we won't let the grower dig even if he wants to," Boushey said.
One of Boushey's growers, George Cariveau, has been using digger chains normally reserved for mud in an effort to "shed loose dirt" during harvest, Boushey said.
"The chain has a cavity with links wide enough apart that I can slip my hand between them, and in return, he's leaving the real estate (dirt) in the fields but also some Cs and Bs," he said.
Some growers halted digging for a time and were "praying for rain" to give the potato quality a boost, Boushey said.
Growers say the crop they have been able to harvest has the quality they want, and when the deal is done it likely will be at normal volume.
"Yields are better than expected. It's a pretty fair crop, actually," said Cory Seim, a salesman with Hoople, N.D.-based Northern Valley Growers.
Prices could be higher
Most growers, on the other hand, say prices are less than ideal.
"The market's is a whole lot lower than we'd like to see it, but it is what it is," said Keith Groven, a salesman with Black Gold Farms, Grand Forks, N.D.
As of Oct. 1, tote bags of about 2,000 pounds of U.S. No. 1, size-A round reds from the Red River Valley were priced at $9-10.
A year earlier, the same product was priced at $22-23 — a result of shorter supplies because of too much rain, according Dave Moquist, a partner in and sales manager of O.C. Schulz & Sons Inc., Crystal, N.D.
"We had such a horrible year last year, anything would be better than that," Moquist said.
The strong market of last year began to slide toward the end of the crop, around February, Groven said.
"It's been a fairly continuous decrease in price since then," he said.
The reason? Too many potatoes, he said.
"There's going to be more potatoes not only in the Red River Valley but Idaho than there has in years past," he said.
Kreis described the market as terrible in late September.
"The prices for reds are better than for russets and, thankfully, 98% of our fresh crop is reds, but prices could be better," he said.
An ideal return would be closer to $14-18, Seim said.
"It's common ground that everybody is making some money in the process and the consumer still has a good buy," he said.
All in all, though, Boushey said he isn't too worried.
"It seems like it's a decent crop. We really could use some rain. Other than that, we're OK," he said.

I picked up a new and very unique patch for the police collection today. It is a shoulder patch for one of the United States Coast Guard Police Departments!
These patches are very hard to come by, and in fact, this is the first one that I have actually seen or had the opportunity to pick up. The US Coast Guard has five police departments, and each of the departments is very small, something like 12 officers each. The Police Departments are staffed by USCG Officers and Petty Officers who have undergone specialized police training.
The five departments are located at:
USCG Base Kodiak Alaska
USCG Training Center Cape May, New Jersey
USCG Training Center Petaluma, California
USCG Yard Baltimore, Maryland
US Coast Guard Academy, New London, Connecticut
All of the departments basically use the same shoulder patch, with the exception of the USCG Academy. The academy patch looks the same, but it has "Academy" in the lower area of the star text.
There also appears to be a few other variations of this patch, as you can see in the first USCG Police photo in the last album.
Here is the photo album of this new USCG patch:
Here are a few USCG Police photos to show the uniforms and vehicles:

They're all wonderful, but number 3 looks like a postcard (and I mean that in a good way). What better backdrop could you have!! JoanMN/FL |
Great pics Konrad. As always, thanks for sharing. |

WOW!! Excellent photos and such beautiful country!! I really like those type pictures, with wildlife and scenic views. Reminds me of some years ago, I used to go deer/elk hunting in Colorado and we would see snow similar to that but not near that beautiful scenery. Oh, and here's a little secret. I went hunting on many occassions, but never killed or even shot at a deer or elk. Don't tell my fellow hunters, but I went just for the beauty of the outdoors. The only shooting I did was with my camera and I always came home with countless photos. Kt |
Kt, your post reminds me of a guy in Minnesota who said he gave up the gun for a camera. He even sits in a blind to get good photos. Here's a link to his pics, they are beautiful! |

Discountvouchers.co.uk - is it ok?
Hello - there is a 'deal' on discountvouchers.co.uk
and I don't know if it is a legit site etc... Does anybody know?
Please and thanks :)
Top Voted Responses
- Hi, yes, it's just the same as Groupon, KGB Deals etc :)
- Fab... Thank you :)
- SyzableHi, yes, it's just the same as Groupon, KGB Deals etc :)
In which case - not legit. Hateful companies the lot of them. - Oh... **** :(
- catOh... **** :(
Syz isnt leading you wrong, Milkfloat is just referring to the poor service and checking that groupon/KGB does on their providers of service. Google up a few reviews on here or the wider internet and you will see the issues.
KGB/Groupon - Poor service of suppliers, refund time delays, major clauses etc etc
Edited By: Nailez on May 28, 2012 13:14 - Well im glad someone else has asked this question as im getting real concerned now.i purchased what seemed an incredible offer on the 16th july 2012,the money has been taken out of my bank account the same day and as yet no items have arrived and its now the 2cnd august. there is a section that says contact us but im getting no replys to my many emails.it said please allow 10 days from the date of purchase so i should have recieved by now,infact by the 26th July. i just cant seem to get in contact with any one now. im wondering if i should put a stop to any more payments being taken out a si rememebr reading they took money out only the end of each month! i asked why each montha sive only ordered and paid for the one item,ive had no reply!

How no one has looked into this Company by now and their ***** from people who work hard for their money is beyond me. (DO NOT BE FOOLED) they are *****. Absolutely disgusted at myself at being taken in and thinking I could get a bargain. I would have been aswell throwing my money away. Cazza

Hi Susan,
I have just replied to your Facebook message to confirm iQue's emails from yesterday that your order has been dispatched. I can assure you that we have nothing to do with the £700 being taken from your account, nor the site Wonga.com that you quoted on your previous email. You will need to investigate this yourself with your bank. We also never send any viruses as they are always scanned before they are sent.
and guesse what arrived in the post to, yes my much awaited parcel. persevere and be patient buyers. - I keep getting spam from them, even though I've unsubscriped 10 times.
- Spam is very annoying I know, but some people havn't even received their items. i was one of the lucky ones! don't know what to suggest about the spams,, have you tried emailing them direct? im still getting emails from them too, but I havnt bothered to unsubscribe as yet. looks like it wont get me any where if I do!

Discount Vouchers Customer Service Manager - I have just read everyones comments and i totally agree, i have been waiting 3 weeks for my item and still no sign. I must admit i have been receiving email replies from the company all telling me my item has been dispatched but still no sign. I find it a shame it cant be delivered as quick as them taking your money out of your account, i was informed it would take 7 working days!! If the company are having delays for whatever reason it would of been nice to of been informed. I would not recommend this company to anyone, unless your in no rush for your item. This was a present which is now nearly 2 weeks late, not happy

Station Annapolis, Maryland, works for Sector Baltimore and is about 25
minutes south of the Coast Guard Yard in Curtis Bay, Maryland.
Like most things, the station evolved into what it is today. In 1886, when
pilings were driven for the most famous screw-pile lighthouse on the East
Coast - Thomas Point Light - the scene was set for the station's eventual
The station was first located at the small lighthouse keeper's barge in
Fishing Creek, Maryland. It later moved to a smallboat station that still
has some responsibility for the now automated light. The present station was
built in 1972 on the site where the lighthouse keeper's barge was moored.
Annapolis was settled in 1649 by 10 Puritan families from Virginia who were
offered asylum from religious persecution.
If the American Revolution interests you, then the city has much to offer.
Its quaint streets are alive with history. Dubbed the sailing capital of
America, the city was also the temporary national capital when the
Continental Congress met here from November 26, 1783, to August 13, 1784.
Today, it is Maryland's state capital, and the capital building is the
oldest still in use today.
The peace treaty with England, ending the Revolutionary war, was ratified in
Annapolis. You can also stand where George Washington did the day he
resigned his commission or sit at the Middleton Tavern and enjoy some grog
just as he did in 1776. The downtown area is very popular with tourists and
its restaurants are well-known for Maryland's famous succulent crabs.
Annapolis responds to approximately 200 search-and-rescue cases each year.
Station boarding officers keep very busy conducting an average of 400
boating safety and law-enforcement boardings. A 45 ft. RBM and two 29 ft.
RBS II's make up our small boat fleet.
Station Annapolis is truly a multi-mission unit capable of handling Search
and Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement as well as Port Waterways and Coastal
Security. Much of the summer activities revolve around a heavy marine-events
schedule, such as the annual Annapolis Boat Show, Annual Bay Swim and the
Naval Academy graduation events.
The station's area of responsibility stretches north to the Magothy River
and south to Chesapeake Beach. This area includes the pristine eastern-
shore town of St. Michaels, Maryland, - a major destination for cruising
boats from around the world.
Annapolis is also a popular destination for all boating traffic transiting
between Maine and Florida during the year. And, with the nation's capital so
close, we see our share of dignitaries throughout the year.
At the station there is a morale boat, weight room, cardio room, volleyball,
basketball courts, and a Multi-use sports field. Station Annapolis is
surrounded by American history.

Ex-servicemen: Hearing Impaired
Andrew Murrison (Shadow Minister, Defence; Westbury, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when and how ex-servicemen and women waiting for digital hearing aids due to service-related hearing loss will be informed of their priority status.
Derek Twigg (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Ministry of Defence; Halton, Labour)
Advice regarding entitlement to priority treatment from the NHS is referenced in Leaflet 2 which is sent out by the Service Personnel and Veterans Agency with the war pension disablement acceptance notification letter.
Regular reminders about priority treatment for war pensioners are circulated by the Health Departments to senior NHS managers who are tasked to ensure that relevant clinical staff are aware. Reminder action, due this year, will reference this issue. Priority for assessment, treatment, aids etc is decided by the clinician in charge based on clinical need.

Office of Residence Life Mountain View Apartments Housing and Meal Plan Contract - 2011-2012
This contract covers the academic year in which the student is enrolled and classified as a fulltime, international (as defined by Averett University), resident student. All Resident Students are required to have a meal plan and sign a housing and meal plan contract. Students who have roommates or share an apartment or suite may be required to sign a shared responsibility agreement in conjunction with this housing contract.
Mountain View Apartment contacts begin on August 1 and end on May 31. Occupants may move in anytime between August 1 and the start of classes, with a scheduled move-in appointment. Occupancy is required by the University's first day of classes. Rooms not claimed by this date may be reassigned, unless the Dean of Students has granted permission for late arrival in writing. Any student who arrives late without prior notification must accept whatever room is assigned, if any. Early arrival to campus at the beginning of each semester, before your assigned check in date or the start of this contract (Aug 1), is not permitted unless you have prior approval from the Director of Residence Life. Mt. View housing closes at 7:00 pm on the evening of May 31; residents who have not signed a Summer Contract to remain in their current apartment for June and July, are expected to be checked out by 7:00pm. Residents of Mt. View Apartments are permitted to remain in campus housing during break periods; but are expected to notify the building staff or Residence Life prior to the break, that they will remain in housing.
A change in room assignment is the prerogative of the University. Students may not change rooms/apartments without prior authorization from the Residence Life Office. The University reserves all rights with respect to the assignment and reassignment of the room accommodations. Room consolidation is a process all students are expected to adhere to. Those students, who do not secure a private room/apartment by payment, will be expected to consolidate to a double room. Students may be administratively removed from their housing assignment if they demonstrate an inability to function appropriately in a residential environment or for non-payment.
Visitors and guests to University housing and student rooms are permitted only as authorized by University regulations outlined in the Student Handbook 2011-2012. The right of the student to live in reasonable privacy supersedes the right of a roommate to entertain guests. Common sense and mutual respect should be the primary determinants for the invitation of guests to campus. Residents are responsible for the conduct of their guests at all times, and guests must abide by all University policies during their visit. Guests must be escorted at all times by the resident student they are visiting. All overnight guests must be registered with the Residence Life Office and Campus Security.

View, Davenport and Danville only). Floor unit air conditioners may be used in Main Hall, if approved by the Office of Residence Life.
Prohibited items include: hot plates, electric frying pans, open flame/exposed heating element cooking appliances, non-portable electric appliances, halogen lamps, fireworks/firecrackers, immersion heaters, candles, firearms/ weapons, space heaters, accelerants, and gasoline driven devices. The University reserves the right to prohibit and/or confiscate any item found within University residence facilities if judged unsafe or hazardous.
PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES INCLUDE (but are not limited to):
RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITY: Students are responsible for keeping their apartments/rooms in a clean fashion. Also, they are responsible for any behavior, activity, or item in their room or common area which they could reasonably be expected to know and could be subject to disciplinary action and penalties as a result. This includes, but is not limited to noise, possession of alcohol or drug paraphernalia, misappropriated furniture, etc. Students are responsible for guests while they are on campus and in residence halls/apartments. Resident students must register all overnight guests with a residence life staff member.
Damages to common spaces may be billed collectively to residents of that particular hallway, suite, apartment in instances by which a responsible party on that hallway can not be identified. Students are responsible for obtaining personal property damage or property loss insurance to cover loss, damage, or theft of personal property while living on campus.
INSPECTION OF ROOMS: Routine inspection of rooms for health, safety, or maintenance reasons will be made monthly and during vacations, and may occur at any time with advance notice. Room and/or apartment searches may be conducted with authorization from the Dean of Students, the President of the University, or their designee.
ROOM AND BOARD RATES (See Meal Plan Options/Cost Below):
Room and board rates are paid by the semester. All residential students are required to maintain a dining plan. In the case of withdrawal from the University, while school is in session, there is no refund of room or board charges for the semester. Room and Board Rates are as follows:
Summer Housing in Mountain View - A summer housing contract for June and July (2012) can be obtained during the 2012 Spring Semester for students who wish to remain in their room/apartment for the additional 2 months.
Each student is required to have a housing-key deposit in the amount of $150.00 on file with the University prior to selection of room and/or prior to move in. The housing-key deposit will remain on file until such time that the student terminates their enrollment with the University due to graduation, transfer or withdrawal. Once an official termination of enrollment is processed, a credit of the housing-key deposit will be processed back to the student's account.
A refund of the housing-key deposit will be dependant on receipt of the room key at checkout, room damages/charges, and the account balance at the time the deposit is credited back to the account.
CONTRACT RELEASE of Housing Requirement: Once this contract is signed and returned to the Residence Life Office, it is a legally binding document and will require you to make full and complete payment for the residence hall or apartment room as set forth and to abide by and comply with all the rules and regulations for occupancy and those other rules and regulations as set forth in the various University publications.
