After Devouring the Film. I actually watched the film nearly a month ago, but never got round to, er, 'reviewing' (?) it. Sometimes, my laziness amazes me. T'is me. Moving on. I went to watch the movie with beyond low expectations. Movie adaptations can either be ginormous farts or all confetti and glitter and awesomeness. Gone Girl was both, but the farts were the child-excited ones, because it was amazing. The actors played Nick & Amy perfectly and my friend, who hadn't read the book and had no idea what the film was about, was hypnotised by the mindfuck relationship and story line. I think the only thing I would change about the film was the music, which seemed to pop up at the most awkward times, and sometimes the music didn't sync to the scene. As in, echo-y, mournful music to an up-beat, angry scene. You know? It might just be me, but whatever. So yeah, 4/5 to the film! And my rating for the book is staying the same because I still want to shove a cactus up Nick's butt. Look at that smarmy face. I just want to punch it. DO NOT CLICK ON THE SPOILER TAGS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE BOOK. I'VE WARNED YOU. "There's something disturbing about recalling a warm memory and feeling utterly cold." Hi! I'm Nick Dunne, and I'm a fucking asshole. I guess that -- considering I admit that I'm an asshole -- it should make me less of an asshole. I have a cleft chin, which I like to mention in passing (don't women find it adorable? The cleft chin? The proper American-boy thing?) and I'm a goddamn asshole. I'm such a huge asshole that I took my wife away from New York, dragged her to my childhood town in Missouri and then decided to have an affair, rather than divorce her and give her a happier, better future, because I'm a fucking asshole. I'm a selfish mama's boy who likes to get his own way, much like my wife, because I've been babied and petted my entire life -- but I won't admit that to those who matter! Ho ho ho! Because I'm not actually the baby of the family, I'm older by a whole three minutes. Oh yeah, I have a twin sister, Go, and she thinks I'm an asshole, too. In fact, she thinks I'm such a huge dickweed that she likes to tell me this every so often. I'm also the asshole who treats my father, who has Alzheimer's, like shit because he's an asshole, who passed his stupid, annoying fucking genetics onto me and made me an asshole. So I hate him. I'm like a prepubescent child who hates everything and everyone and yes, maybe I did murder my wife, because why the fuck not. Dear Diary, I am scared. I am terrified. I am a calculating bitch. I know what makes my husband tick, I know his patterns; it's like studying an animal in its natural habitat... I even know how many times he pisses in a day. A fascinating study on how to make the Cheating Bastard pay. He doesn't know that, though. He thinks I'm dumb, too busy baking cupcakes and playing nice with our little shit neighbourhood, too stupid to realise he's screwing away, coming home with some slut's scent on his skin... He doesn't know that I am under his skin. I will RUIN him. Nick again! My wife is missing. I'm not bothered though, I never really liked her anyway. Like a broken toy. I played with her, I unscrewed her and now, poof! She's gone. I should really try to cooperate more, instead of wallowing in self pity, be an asshole and screw my mistress, but I shan't. Instead, I will get drunk, cry to my poor, poor twin sister then go balls deep between the legs of a girl who has fallen in love with me. I am an asshole. Dear Diary, In fact, I'm currently holing up in some cabin on a lake (very Hollywood!) where no one know's not'in and no one asks not'in. However, I have made friends with a poor, abused bitch and a weird fishy guy. Literally. We watch the Ellen Abbott show and cry over that poor, poor girl, Amazing Amy, mysteriously missing... and all the clues point to her cheating, philandorous husband! The horror, the shame! I love it. I am in trouble. I am a trouble asshole. Every clue, everything, points to me. I am the husband who murdered his wife and threw away her body in the river, thanks to a web search I did when I was thinking about writing a book... I say thinking, because I suck at everything and I never go through with anything. In fact, for four years of marriage, it was always yes dear, sure dear, anything you want honey because I cannot for the life of me do something decent with my life. In the shower, I have a wank, then I go to the kitchen and have a drink, go to The Bar (hurrhurr we thought we were BRAINY and COOL and possibly slightly HIPSTER so we could appeal to the younger public! Aren't we funny?!) and do a few hours work because I am a waste of space, then come home, bitch at my wife used to bitch at my wife and go to bed. If I didn't go out and screw my mistress. Anyway, I am in trouble. But I am innocent. I think. __________________________________________________ After reading the above, how do you feel? a) Confused? b) Angry? c) All of the above? d) All of the above and more? If you answered D, ding-ding-ding! We have a winner, because Gone Girl is a huge, confusing, messy clusterfuck of mini and large mindfucks. If you think you know, forget it, because you don't. I went into the book thinking, "Okay, okay. I can see where this is going. Very clever." But the truth is, I didn't see where this is going. It was a lie. Everything you read is a ginormous, stinking lie. There is literally nothing you can... let me rephrase that: nothing you read can be can be trusted. I am giving you fair warning. It's the day of Nick and Amy Dunne's 5th anniversary. There are crepes and mentions of love in the air... until Nick gets home and his wife is... mysteriously... gone. Much atmosphere, very ooooh. I hate Nick with the burning intensity of a thousand suns. He's an asshole, a prick and I would skewer him with a hot poker if I could. Right through the belly button and I'll even spin him around for a little bit, so he can get the full 360 feel of it. He is the exact reason why some women have commitment issues. He is the embodiment of the lying, two-faced man that will ruin your life. He's the man who will take take take and never give, never say thank you ... he will projectile vomit over your dreams, everything you love and he will isolate you from the world. He will hurt you. He is that man cockroach. Gone Girl is the book you cannot talk much about without seriously spoilering the life out of people, so I will keep the rest of this review brief. Gillian Flynn says she loves Nick so I am not sure whether she ever intended to make him such a dislikeable, horrible character, but if she did it worked incredibly well. I never felt an ounce of sympathy for him. Okay, maybe once. Once. That's it. All I'm going to say is: this book was worth the... four days it took me to get through it, and that's just because I didn't like Nick. I sometimes had to physically remove myself from the room where the book was, in case I did something crazy, like burn it. But this book is so, so, so worth the migraine at the end. It's worth the bottle of wine you will drink whilst rubbing your temples and thinking, what the shit? It is worth the emotional hangover you will have in the morning. SO worth it. This may be one of those situations were the movie is better than the book I was disappointed—not a bad book, but not one I'd go out of my way for. Listened to it instead of reading it, which may have made a difference. I was disappointed—not a bad book, but not one I'd go out of my way for. Listened to it instead of reading it, which may have made a difference. Yep, the odd broad read this bestseller pot boiler and I really liked it. I had assiduously avoided all spoilers before reading it and was impressed at how Flynn handled her plot and characterization. Enough has been said about this book so I'm not going to add much to the review-noise around this book, but I liked it so much I bought another Flynn title knowing little about it and am excited about reading it soon.
...Gillian Flynn's latest novel of psychological suspense will confound anyone trying to keep up with her quicksilver mind and diabolical rules of play. Not that there's anything underhanded about her intentions: she promises to deliver an account of the troubled marriage of Nick and Amy Dunne, who alternate as narrators, and so she does. The trickery is in the devilish way she tells their story. Flynn writes bright, clever, cynical sentences. Maybe too many of them in Gone Girl. The same facts and ideas seem to repeat themselves. But that's a minor gripe in a book that never slacks in tightening the suspense. The basic questions the mystery asks are these: did the journalist husband murder his well-to-do missing wife or is she setting him up to pay a creepy price? On Flynn's slick way to reaching the answer, she pulls the rug from under us readers three times. Or was it four? This American author shook up the thriller scene in 2007 with her debut Sharp Objects, nasty and utterly memorable. Gone Girl, her third novel, is even better – an early contender for thriller of the year and an absolute must read. Is contained in

According to a study from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, one in three teens delay getting their license until they turn 18, over a 33 percent drop since 1993. Don't assume to know how your teen feels about the matter. Talk about it. Ask if and why she wants a license. You might be surprised. Your teen may not be ready. By understanding what's motivating your teen to drive (or not to just yet), communicating on the topic later will be easier. You also shouldn't hold back. If you have concerns about your teen's readiness to drive, discuss it. |

When it comes to Super Bowl ads, there are two themes that come across loud and clear: women emasculating men and, of course, sex sells. Commercials during the big game notoriously toe the line of provocation. This year, Kim Kardashian will star in a sexy ad for Sketchers' Shape Up sneakers, because nothing says "bone me" like shoes with soles shaped like boats. While the ad itself will be a surprise, the company has teased that it shows lots of sweat-kissed skin. And they released this image of the ad that will premiere during the fourth quarter of the game. [People]
After the jump, more 10 racy Super Bowl ads that we bet Kim's new one will rival.

Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet By Jim Bessman Published August 18, 2008 Blowing away the cultural barrier between America and Asia, the special blend of Appalachian and Chinese music that propels banjoist Abigail Washburn's work with the Sparrow Quartet may have started out as a fluke, but now seems more natural a fusion than ever.
The group's latest album, Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet, also stars fellow banjo player (and the album's producer) Belá Fleck, along with the equally inventive cellist Ben Sollee and fiddler Casey Driessen, and very much clarifies the vision that Washburn sketched out two years ago on The Sparrow Quartet EP.
"I lived in Shanghai and Chengdu for some time," she says, recalling her earliest visit to the region, long before she became an acclaimed musician. "Once I came back to the U.S., I felt an almost unconscious need to find an element of America that I could make my own. I could hear the thread running between the American and Chinese rural traditions, and that idea of country music and folk music being universal is special. I think we're seeing more of that connection now as a function of living in a global world, where all of us have an opportunity to sample each other's respective cultures."
The Sparrow Quartet's music is itself an extension of the sound Washburn explored on her 2005 solo release Song Of The Traveling Daughter, which followed two albums with the old-timey folk-styled girl group Uncle Earl. "That was very much a band sound with mostly traditional songs," Washburn recalls of the latter, "whereas my record was inspired by traditional music, but was more about my songwriting and composition, with a big focus on my Chinese experience. The songs were also more in the 'verseverse- chorus' structure."
According to Washburn, the new album was a collaborative process: she'd bring in lyrics and melodies, but the arrangements were fleshed out by the group, with an eye on letting each musician attain the full reach of the instrument. "Ben is a classically trained cellist who was raised listening to folk music and R&B," she explains, "and Casey is one of the best bluegrass fiddlers, and a tremendous percussionist on the fiddle. All our compositions require tapping into our highest musical selves, but only to serve the heart of the song."
She takes the leadoff track "A Fuller Wine," which actually flows from the preceding China-flavored "Overture" instrumental (save for Washburn's yodeling), as an example. "I had a banjo part, and had to figure out how to have the other instruments accompany it with composed parts," she says. The big trick was for Fleck to create banjo rolls that wouldn't overwhelm her own playing, "so he had to find a part that emphasized the importance of the words— an emotional approach to instrumentation and composition in giving a sense of the poetic imagery. He came up with a roll to emphasize the searching quality of the lyric."

Are the high temps caused by the fermentation itself ever taken into consideration? For instance, I have a beer fermenting in a room that has varied 65-67 however, shot with a heat gun, the Carboy is at 78*. It's in strong ferment mode 2nd day. But it's still temp. Just wondering if this is the norm or do I have to ferment at lower ambient temps?
Yes, most of us take that into account. You can get a cheap "fermometer" that will read the temperature on the carboy. And if you're using active temperature control, insulating the temp probe against the carboy is generally the best option. What yeast are you using? A beer temp of 78 can produce some pretty nasty fusels. Also keep in mind that those IR thermometers can be fairly inaccurate, unless you input the specific emissivity of the surface.
Yes, the yeast in their activity create a lot of heat. I don't know anything about heat guns, so can't comment on how accurate that is. You could get a stick-on strip thermometer and attach it to the carboy and that will give you a sense of the temperature inside it. I use a temperature controller and a chest freezer, and attach the probe of the temperature controller to the carboy - I stick it snugly underneath the webbing of the carboy carrier I use, so its held tight against the glass. For most of the ale yeasts I use, I start the fermentation temps at 60F and raise it up slightly as fermentation continues. Before my current setup, I used a big rubbermaid bin in my basement - ambient temps in the 60s - filled the bin with water and put the carboy in it, then swapped out 1/2 gallon frozen juice bottles. I kept a floating thermometer in the water and aimed for 58-64.
The yeast is wlp001. I was really surprised to see it that high also. I'm hoping the gun is just off. It's a good gun, but been around a while. Just in case, I moved it to another cooker area, and will be getting stick on thermometers real soon. Probably too late to worry about this one, but lesson learned.
Yes yeast generates heat. From my experience if the ambient temp is near or below the low end of the recommended range for that yeast, the temp rise is usually only a few degrees. If the ambient is near or above the upper end of the temp range the temp rise can be 10 or even more degrees higher. I always like to start off at the lowers end of the temp range. The ferment is much easier to control that way.
140 kcal/kg extract 10 lbs of grain is 4.54 kg, x .85 =3.86 kg extract which would yield 540 kcal. 540 kcal would raise the temperature in 19L (5gal) 28.4 °C ( 51.1 °F) So there is enough energy to heat 5 gallons by fifty degrees Fahrenheit. Which is to say if the reaction occurred in zero time, if it went off like a bomb, thats what would happen. I ferment in a water bath and in a well controlled fermentation the beer will be as much as 1.0 °F warmer than the water bath in the first few days. Thats measured with a calibrated thermometer in a thermowell. I dont know what it would be in air, my guess is 10 times that.

Blackberry Farm, Walland, Tennessee
Many of the most captivating chatterboxes on the subject of travel are the women behind one-off luxury hotels with national profiles. They've been everywhere, and nothing escapes their attention. Not the braid on the doorman's uniform at the five-star in Madrid, not the curve of the pool at the trendy place in Santa Monica, and not the cotton-to-linen ratio of the sheets at the London upstart. These ladies live to notice—and borrow.
Blithely breaking the mold is Kreis Beall, 53, the creator and co-owner of Blackberry Farm, snuggled on a quite stupefying 4,200 acres in Walland beside the Great Smoky Mountains, 25 minutes from Knoxville. A Tennessee gal to the core of her being, Beall knows what she knows. That is the South, where she lives in so many grand houses it is not always easy to be sure which one she is telling you about. Her idea of hell is attending a Relais & Châteaux conference in Marrakesh, which—Blackberry being a member of the association—she once did. Even the camel races didn't amuse her. All that dust. All she could think of was Walland.
Beall's focus, the gee-golly certainty that Blackberry is the center of the universe and that all you need is a night there to become a believer, pays off in one of the most satisfying and complete country-hotel experiences in the U.S. Opened in 1990, Blackberry is like a south of the Mason Dixon Line edition of a Currier & Ives greeting card. At Christmas, evergreen wreaths decorate the boathouse that projects into a pond stocked with catfish. White fences ribbon the soft hills. Regulation rockers are soldiered on the front lawn for the day's Big Moment: sundown and tumblers of Hirsch 20-year-old bourbon.
Beall was not to the plantation born ("My mother put the dinner casserole right on the table"), which only makes the high level of creature comfort she has brought to Blackberry that much more delicious, and compelling. A self-described former "feminist nightmare," she gave up plans for a law career to become a homemaker in an era that judged women by the puffiness of their Pont Neuf potatoes. Since then, Beall has become a breezy student of refinement, sounding off about Serapi rugs and old-wood reproductions of serpentine highboys with upholstered drawers (both of which she introduced to Blackberry). Her education was made possible by the little fact of her husband, Sandy, hitting the jackpot as founder of the restaurant chain Ruby Tuesday. It's a long way from RT's fried cheese with marinara sauce to Blackberry's snapper bouillabaisse with pickled-okra polenta. But it is just this distance that makes the Bealls such fascinating hospitality-world figures. They know high, but they also know low.
Blackberry makes it easy to choose among its 44 guest rooms, which are done in a plush Anglo-American idiom that relies on fringed swags and decorative pillows in fancy fabrics (lose the trompe l'oeil books and treacly flower paintings and the score climbs to 8/10). For views and to be in the thick of things, you stay in the Main House or the Guest House, both of Tennessee fieldstone. For privacy and romance, you stay in a board-and-batten Holly Glade cottage. Set in the woods, cottages have two units, each with a porch and a beautifully composed, reassuringly high pile of firewood.
The restaurant is as puzzling as the service throughout the hotel is wonderful. Blackberry's cooking school and inventive food-and-wine events bring in marquee industry personalities. And its trademarked (not a joke) Foothills Cuisine—regional ingredients, Southern influence, high-wire technique—has a big following. But every dish I tasted made me long for its unreconstructed inspiration—a cornmeal-dusted catfish, say, instead of one with a showy horseradish-and-potato crust.
Perhaps one day the cooking will catch up with everything else at Blackberry, where the extreme
professionalism of the personnel is free of the turgidness that often goes with it. Like Kreis
Beall, whose middle name might as well be "I am what I am," the young staff exhibit a smiling
hop-to-itiveness, and don't know what pomp is.

Our cast of top pro coaches will show you how its done in the freeride playground that is SASS Argentina. Let these maidens of shred lead you around the backcountry of Catedral Alta Patagonia in small groups of like-minded women looking to advance their big mountain abilities and backcountry awareness. Learn from the best with this crew of unparalleled veterans of the ski and snowboard industries all passionate about pushing ladies to their full potential with constructive instruction and a whole lot of smiles…
We're proud to enter our sixth season as South America's original backcountry women-specific program. Join the SASS Argentina pro coaching and guiding staff with Robin van Gyn, Michelle Parker and Hana Beaman. Clients will ride with some of the industry's top pros, all while experiencing the best of Argentine culture alongside other like-minded women in a positive level-pushing environment.
While in Argentina you will be guided by SASS Argentina's expert staff and pro skiers and snowboarders into one of the most incredible backcountry environments in the world. We will get you shredding some of the most amazing terrain you've ever seen, let alone ridden, and do it in a customized progression that allows you to reach a new level in your riding. SASS wants to pull back the curtain of intimidation and let you experience how the pros ride and be a first-hand witness to how the industry works. Live the lifestyle with the pros and instantly become better.
You've heard me say it a hundred times, but I just can't seem to say it enough: SASS Argentina is always the highlight of my summer. Family, friends, epic powder and mind-blowing terrain in one of the most interesting cultural settings you can imagine. I've been fortunate to ride all over the world, and I can honestly say there is nothing else like it…anywhere. Get down here.
– Robin Van Gyn, past 8 seasons and counting…
New to the backcountry? Perfect. Always wanted to hit a cliff? Our staff is here to show you how. Want to try a backflip for the first time? Landing in pow is the perfect way to learn.

This team of unreal shredders makes up an unparalleled coaching staff for women looking to get into the backcountry, increase confidence and learn to shred bigger terrain.

They will be with you every step of the way, leading your group and making sure your days are filled with smiles and progression…

Robin has been a part of the Women'Session since its inception and is exactly the lady you want showing you around, giving you pointers and leading by example. Robin rides for Roxy, Levitation Project, NOW, Whistler Blackcomb, Voke Tab and I Heart Pom Pom. @robinvangyn.
MICHELLE PARKER – Ski Coach
Michelle is not only one of the raddest skiers out there, she is also easily one of the most fun. With a passion for pushing her limits on snow and eight years of experience in Argentina she brings some serious knowledge to the SASS Argentina Women'Session. Michelle comes from a racing background, then transitioned to slopestyle and has been on a big mountain kick ever since. This diverse background makes her an excellent coach no matter what your goals might be. Michelle will help you with line selection, air presence and avalanche awareness skills while she shows you around. Michelle skis for Red Bull, Atomic, Mountain Hardwear, Anon Optics, Squaw Valley and Tahoe Teas. @myshellparker

After years on the competitive circuit and three X-Games silver medals under her belt, Hana has been focusing on freeriding and backcountry trips as of late. Based close to Baker in Washington, she has a nose for deep snow and will show you to the goods pushing your skills to the next level.

Young people will get the chance to participate in important archaeological field work, study space debris, help develop a junior music academy and express views on genetics, ethics and online storytelling thanks to first-round funding awards from the Beacon for Wales.
More than £70,000 has been allocated to projects at the University and the University of Glamorgan by the Beacon, which will draw on the experience of university experts in astronomy, maths, music, archaeology, genetics and social sciences. They will explore innovative approaches to feed back into academic research, as well as help develop closer links in local communities around issues that affect people's daily lives.
Seven projects, ranging in value from £6,000 to £17,000, will benefit from the first wave funding of £73,000, which is part of a total £1.2M secured by the Beacon for Wales.
The projects are:
Bruce Etherington, Beacon for Wales Manager, said: "The great thing about the successful projects is that they are designed from the start to be a partnership between young people and university staff so that they can work and learn together to increase knowledge and understanding.
"The Beacon for Wales is working to help institutions reach out even further into their communities and share their knowledge, helping both the wider community and the academic communities make more informed decisions that are relevant to the 21st century."
Colin Johnson OBE, Chair of the Project Advisory Group, was enthusiastic about the response to the first call for funding. He said: "We've had a fascinating range of project ideas submitted already. The quality and creativity we've seen so far will get the Beacon for Wales off to a flying start."
Applications for the second round of Beacon for Wales funding will open soon to people from all over Wales who are involved in or who have plans for partnerships between universities and their communities. Projects will be considered under any of the four themes below:
o Our Place In The Future - 14-19 year olds
o Climate and Sustainability - Rural Communities
o Health and Wellbeing - Communities First
o The Welsh identity in the 21st Century - Cultural Minorities
The Beacon for Wales will be running sessions across Wales to help strengthen links between the public and their universities. For further details, please contact the Beacon for Wales team at email@example.com
The Beacon for Wales, officially launched in 2008 and based at Cardiff, is a partnership between the University, University of Glamorgan, BBC Wales, National Museum Wales and Techniquest, which aims to help universities in Wales engage more with the communities of which they are part. Part of the UK-wide Beacons for Public Engagement scheme the Welsh Beacon also encourages people to play a more active role in the work of higher education institutions.

This is sort of a thank you to PuF. I was playing UT the other day and there was a guy camping at the top of a tower, and he was really raking in the frags. Some people were getting pretty angry, and I was all like, "Hello? This isn't a caravan park, good sir!". But he was from some clan that I've never heard of, ~(DHS)~ or something like that, and there were some of his friends there from the same clan, and they started to hunt me down and single me out to kill because I said that. Typical behaviour for clans in my experience. I was going to leave, but the these people from clan PuF noticed what was going on, and they stepped in and took care of these people. Soon the DHS goons had left after being fragged numerous times, and the PuF people, two who had the PuF tag and two others who said they were from PuF, laughed a bit then left. I never got to thank them for salvaging the game though, it was turning out to be one of the least fun games I'd ever played but they turned it into one of the most fun
Anyway, afterwards I dropped into #utgames on IRC and asked "Who's PuF?" and people told me that they were from planetunreal.com, so I came here to thank those people, I just wish I could remember their names, but unfortunatly I don't take much notice of names during games. But, you are a clan All the clans I have encountered online were all cocky bastards who gang up and kill people then laugh at them and rubbish on about how they're the best clans online etc. etc. I hate all the clans, I have only had bad experiences with them, the only reason I'm bothering thanking PuF is because there was something different about their attitude, and they saved my arse. ------------------ "Hey, I'm on your team you... Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise that you were using a skin cheat, please forgive me." Cytaur |

Glad to hear that you had a good experience on line while playing with fellow PuFers.
One correction...PuF is not a "clan" per say. It was orginally started as a way for us to find and identify each other on line. Since then they have (i say they because I have not been part of the matches)participated in friendly contests against variouse other clans. Nothing too seriose. You can check out the PuF web site at http://go.to/PuF *there is another web site that does not produce the annoying pop up window but I can't remember the url* [This message has been edited by C¥BER PETE (edited 06-28-2000).] |

I have ran across alot of |PuF out there and have always had a good match and a seen a level of maturity that would be nice from everyone. Unfortunetly all clans are not like them ( clan or just id tag, doesn't matter ) I'm glad that you had a good experiance with th |PuF's and I hope that wont be an isolated incident!

Ya....that Clark_Kent|PuF...he is really something He's like, a superman....
Anyway, ya, as mentioned, PuF is not a clan, although many PuFs are IN clans ([MUTTS], ]LoL[, |AoC|, |C|, [Ci] too name a few). I might also mention we don't all wear our PuF tags all the time, especially once people get to know each other. And finally, not all tags are clans... Like HFB (Hooray for ... it'll get censored =P) #utgames.........hee hee hee hee...oh lordy. ahem. How do I make my words big? anyway. Join us at #planetunreal ... judging by your words, you're someone whom we definitely wouldn't mind playing with, and you are most welcome there. You might even get a free pass to #stripbar from [OwneR]WAnk but please remember to check in all weapons with Blender... and bring plenty of $1 bills for Kristina...er...i mean $20's. Ya....

As for your blatant hate of clans - dude, lighten up.
Not all clans are like that. All the clans you find on PuF (As they've said - PuF isn't a clan, it's more like a society) are honorable and good sports (least they better be). Btw, if a clan ever treats you like shît again... just tell me who they are and Clan |C|ondemned will challenge them in a CTF game. See how they like them apples.

Why thank you kind sirs! The last time I posted on a clan message board, all the replies I got were like, "Gonna p4ck3t j00, *****" and "w3 0wn j00" followed by death threats etc. (I admit that I wasn't thanking them though I was kind of angry with them, I'll tell you why sometime )
Well, you people have somewhat curbed my hatred of clans, it's good to see that there are some good clans out there, but it seems that they are all part of PuF Seriously, you people are the first decent clanners I've ever, ever come across, so you'll have to excuse my initial caution. Admitedly though I do not get much time to play online as I am doing difficult subjects at school this year and have heaps of homework, so I don't really get to see all clans to make any proper sweeping judgments And thank you Jing for your kind invitation to #planetunreal, I am kind of getting sick of #utgames: "Hey anybody looking for a clan to join???" "Hey I need help someone help me!!!" "Hey anyone know of any good clans???". I'm sure you get the picture. But don't expect me to be some kind of UT buff, as I mentioned before I don't get to play it that much so I suspect that I don't have the "m4d l33t 5k1llz" So please oh gurus of UT who rack up thousands of posts here, share your knowledge with ignoramii such as I And also it's good to know that clan |C| are there to lay the smack down if any more bad guy type clans treat me badly. And I always though clan ]LoL[ stood for clan laughs out loud. Oh well (Hmm, I seem to have included too many smilies there... just... just try to ignore them.) Thanks again, I've been trying to keep away from the online UT communities but I like this place, so I'll post again sometime or look into that chatroom... I guess. PS: I'm impressed by the UT smilies "Hey, I'm on your team you... Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realise that you were using a skin cheat, please forgive me."

I don't want to seem inmodest, but that may have been me and Morgan. We had a similar experience on a face map. But, of course, I could be wrong. I didn't remember the names. If it was someone else, sorry...I give the credit to you. Thanks PuF for promoting good sportsmanship.
Again, Cytaur, we are not a Clan (PuF) we just use the tag to help us and everyone else identify us. If you want to join PuF, just post and add the tag. Of course we expect all PuF to be decent and not Lamers (which you seem not to be...a lamer ). So, please join our happy family. We could use more people like you.

I would be delighted to join your merry band, I thank you heartily for the invitaion
However, changing my SN to incude the tag will reset the three posts I have already racked up with this name! Oh well, we all have to make sacrifices at some point in our lives Prophetus, if it was you and your pals who took care of things in that game, thanks a million I guess I'd better go sign up again, although I just registered this name this morning!

Just to throw my 2 cents in here....while all the PuFer's I've come in contact with have been very kind....they are not the only ones....I have run into many clans that aren't associated with PuF who are very honorable and great fun to hang around....you just have to know where to look sometimes....so keep your hopes up...not all clans are bad....and not all of the good clans are just PuFer's...not that these guys aren't great too....cause they are...
29th Jun 2000, 12:59 PM | #16 |
Hey cytaur,
you can go here to change your username and still retain your posting totals. But as you can see a lot of people don't post with the tag. I am beginning to use it online though, if I have time to play there, that is. And further, I am so looking forward to the Llama hunt, it's just that I have a party saturday night, too bad. -+- I am the SlachterUnit3000 -+- |

Like most teenagers, Justin George devours pizza and often neglects his dirty laundry or half-empty bags of Goldfish scattered throughout his bedroom – his electronic oasis is perfect, blissful order.
He loves snow days (because it means no long bus ride to Richmond for school), spends entirely too much on the computer, and … he has his hobbies.
But, perhaps, while the more unruly 16-year-olds are more intent on breaking the rules, Justin sees them as holding the universe together, in immaculate cosmic order. It was the just the way this Enon resident was programmed to perceive the world.
"That is typical Asperger's behavior," said Bill George, his father. "The rules are the rules, and when you don't follow the rules, people are put in jeopardy."
When he was five years old, Justin was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, a very high-functioning form of Autism. Now, 11 years later, Justin begins his journey and is starting to come to terms with his special abilities, characteristics, and "gifts," as his father calls them.
A former Air-Force serviceman who now works for the state, the elder George first observed his son's unique traits at a very young age. Justin was two years old and wanted to convey something very important to his parents during a walk around the neighborhood one day: one of first "obsessions."
"It was his first word – he spelled it … He just turned to me and [my wife] Kathy one day and said 'S.T.O.P. stop,' " George said.
Also, around that time he noticed his son could take a group of concentric cups and stack them together faster than he could himself.
Asperger's is named after the Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1940, observed and studied children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills and demonstrated limited empathy with peers. People with Asperger's Syndrome experience difficulties with social interaction – sometimes having challenges making eye contact with people or forgetting socially-appropriate "rote" behaviors, such as shaking hands upon meeting someone – and have restrictive and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.
His dad describes many people with Asperger's as being egocentric, often having challenges perceiving the world through another's eyes. As all people are different, Asperger's often impacts individuals in different ways, often presenting people with combinations of these characteristics.
Though Asperger's is often described as a "disability," George, who said he himself has Asperger-like traits, couldn't see it any differently.
"Asperger's is not a burden, it's a gift. It's not an anchor, it's wings."
People with Asperger's also experience excellent auditory and visual perception, often demonstrating enhanced perceptions like discerning small changes in patterns such as arrangements of objects or well-known images. These unique kinds of people also tend to have normal or above-average intelligence.
However, according to his dad, despite his exceptional abilities, Justin was for the longest time in a bit of a denial about sharing this fact with other people. But due to all the experiences in the past few years he has become more confident in telling people he recently attended the Faison School for Autism in Richmond.
"At first, it was like I had to fix myself; now I'm like, these are tools to help me," Justin said.
Soon after leaving Chesterfield County Public Schools in 2008, where the difficulties to grow and learn about himself became more frustrating for Justin by the day, the George family discovered Faison to be the setting he needed.
Two years down the road, Justin began attending I'm Determined youth summits and other youth forums designed to assist in the development, empowerment, and overall understanding of adolescents with their unique challenges and abilities. In the last year or so, he has met numerous state leaders (Senators Jim Webb and Mark Warner and Governor Bob McDonnell, among others), learned about the history of disabilities and the culture running along with it, and has come to understand who he is and where he's going, all while attending various forums and conferences all over Virginia.
Last Friday, Justin graduated from the Virginia Youth Leadership Forum (YLF) after he had spent a week with teens similar to himself, all with a broad range of challenges, staying in the VCU freshman dorms. It was the longest time he had ever spent away from his family.
Teri Morgan, sponsor programs manager at the YLF, said the greatest thing students learned was self-empowerment and their role in the world.
"They really walk away with the feeling that, 'I'm okay the way I am and even if I have a disability, or if I don't learn or process things the way somebody else does, it doesn't matter – it's who I am and that's fine.' … They learned that they're part of a bigger thing than just themselves and their disability. They learned pride."
Only after attending the summits did Justin realize he had experienced a "life-changing experience."
"Before, I would give up on some school lessons and assignments because it would feel too hard," Justin said. "But now, with all these youth summits it's been different. I learned that other people overcome stuff that more intense that what I've gone through; so hearing other people's stories really makes a difference."
His mother, Kathy, said it all has helped him cope, in a way, aiding in him concentrating on his abilities, not his disability.
Now he's doing well in his classes, making SOL scores well into the upper 500-range – the advanced level of testing on what he has learned in the classroom. Since first attending the summits and conferences, Justin has become a licensed FCC amateur radio operator and is enjoying learning some accountability and independence.
"My parents are here for me, and all these people I've met are here for me, but I'm the one – in terms of self-advocacy – I have to do it."
From here, the family sees Justin as having the potential to do whatever he wishes, in terms of his future and discovering his vocation in life.
"He wants to succeed so badly. He wants to be appreciated so badly," George said, "he wants to be liked so badly. I see no difference between that and any other human being on the face of the planet – none."
I was very lucky to have been one of Justin's teachers in 5th grade. It was easy to see what a special person he was and what potential he had. His parents have done an excellent job of advocating for him. It made my day to read this article and if you are reading this Justin...I am as proud of you now as I was when I was lucky enough to be your teacher. Mrs.W
This article really made my day. I was one of Justin's teachers back in elementary school and he was always one of my favorites. It was easy to see how smart he was and what potential he had, so teaching him was easy and fun. His parents were a huge part of his success as they advocated for him. I am also familiar with the Faison School and the great work it is doing with students. I wish Justin and his family continued success and if you read this Justin .....thanks for letting me be a part of your amazing journey in education......Mrs. Wilkinson(5th grade)
I have known Justin for several years and had the pleasure of working with him and watching him grow and learn. Justin has come so far in just this short time. He is a remarkable young man, with such ambition and promise. The future holds great things for you, Justin, and I am so proud of you!
I am so proud of who Justin has become. I have really seen his true colors shine! I am a young leader for both I'm Deteremined and YLF. I have seen him change through big steps and little steps over the past year. He is why I continue to share my story as a person with dyslexia. I love forward to seeing him during the I'm Determined Summit in the Fall.

The Global Intelligence Files
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. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

I asked the source today if Clinton was going to throw another SCS
bombshell. He said that he wouldn't be surprised, but if I read his
reaction correctly, he expects/knows that there is going to be another big
announcement regarding the importance to the US. He also said this is one
of the most important issues that the Committee is watching.

ARF, Indonesia
Top Issues:
* Increasing tension over the disputed Spratly islands - however,
while the US wants nothing less than to bring hard security issues
to the table a** including free navigation and the avoidance of
hegemonic dominance over the SCS a** China will do anything to avoid
this - They will insist on bilateral solutions.
* Regional Issues:
* the Korean Peninsula
* the Thai-Cambodia dispute
* maritime issues including SCS
* terrorism
* piracy and joint ventures
* To a lesser extent:
* transnational crime
* pandemics
* natural disasters
* Clinton's meetings:
* Will meet with Indonesian Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa to
discuss key bilateral, regional, and global issues.
* Following their bilateral meeting, Secretary Clinton and
Foreign Minister Natalegawa will co-chair the Joint Commission
of the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, representing
President Obama and President Yudhoyonoa**s long-term
commitment to broadening, deepening, and elevating bilateral
relations between our two countries.
* In Hong Kong on July 25, Secretary Clinton will meet with Chief
Executive Donald Tsang and with members of the Hong Kong
Legislative Council.
* Later that day, she will deliver remarks underscoring U.S.
economic leadership in the Asia-Pacific.
* Will also hold a trilateral meeting with Japan and South Korea,
and Hillary Clinton will hold a number of bilateral meetings
with China and others.
South China Sea Issue (top of Agenda)
* China will do their best to keep this on a bilateral platform and I
can tell you that track two bilateral dialogues have already been
taking place between China and SCS actors.
* During the forum, they will avoid any confrontation and will make an
obvious effort to talk about what they will do in the future rather
than focusing on what has happened, especially the latest incident
with the Chinese boarding the Viets. vessel.
* Basically the usual official shit about non-interference and the
bilateral emphasis will be the standpoint. Don't expect any amazing
revelations from this.
* I know you guys aren't retards and you know this, but it's good to
keep in mind that these official meetings are largely irrelevant in
terms of policy.
* Vietnam and the Philippines will be loudly protesting the issue, and
with claims by two other ASEAN members, the group will not
automatically be seen as neutral.
Latest Mil. Exercises:
* July 12: The Royal Thai Navy Counter Piracy Task Unit will continue
with a three day drill in the Gulf of Thailand focusing on
anti-piracy. The task unit will then join the combined maritime
forces (CMF) led by the United States for a half year anti-piracy
mission off the coast of Somalia.
* July 15: A guided-missile destroyer, the USS Chung-Hoon, will dock
at Tien Sa port in Da Nang province in Vietnam. The visit will focus
on the increasing of friendly relations between the navies of the
two countries.
* July 15: The navies of Vietnam and the US will hold joint naval
exercises in Danang, Vietnam. Activities will focus on search and
rescue drills, damage control, dive salvage training.
* June 28: Three US warships will anchor in the Philippines to
conduct annual joint US-Philippines naval exercises.
* 13-July 1: A multinational peacekeeping training exercise will
continue in Prachuap Khiri Khan in Thailand. Thirteen countries will
continue to participate in the exercise, including Australia,
Bangladesh, Cambodia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, the
Philippines, Rwanda, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and the United
* July 1: China will conduct sea trials with its first aircraft
carrier. It will not be officially launched until October.
* July 7 a** July 9: Japanese and Australian air forces will conduct
their first joint exercises in history. The exercises will be
carried out in Alaska and will use Japan's F-15 fighters and
Australian F/A-18 Hornet fighters.

exercises in international waters in the Western Pacific.

After 31 years of service in the Mexican military, Mayor Jorge Vargas Morales retired and was ready to begin a new chapter in his life. A few years later, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and would soon return to serving his community in a different wayby helping to bring comfort to ostomy patients throughout Mexico.
It was a gift from God, said Mayor Vargas, who after spending many years with discomfort, pain and limited mobility, could finally return to his active lifestyle, which includes traveling and spending time with his wife, Ofelia, four children and nine grandchildren. He also was able to return to teaching math at a local high school and math/physics at the Civil Engineering School of the University of Colima.
I remember a time in my life when mobility was almost impossible for me, he said. I now feel like I can do anything and want other patients to feel encouraged and empowered.
Mayor Vargas also became committed to helping fellow ostomy patients and, in 2001, founded the Ostomy Association of Colima or Asociación de Ostomizados de Colima, the first support group for ostomy patients in Mexico. The organization is now represented in 31 Mexican states and its Federal District (Mexico City), and provides counseling to patients and families. In addition, he speaks to ostomates about body image, intimacy and the importance of not being embarrassed by their stomas.
At the age of 69, Mayor Vargas, who was recently recognized by Ostomex, the Ostomy Association of Mexico City, for his dedication and passion to demystify ostomy surgery through education, said he has never felt stronger, younger or more alive.

For years, VW Bugs were simply cheap transportation: fuel efficient, easy to work on, a boon to young families and college students. Then something about the quirky little car caught the imagination of a generation, and the low-cost, utilitarian Bug was suddenly sporting a custom paint job and fancy wheels--and tricked-out engines.
This ... provides a fantastic overview of customized Bugs. It shows the scene from which the demon bug emerged, and focuses on specific styles, from the mild to the wild. Cruisers and dragsters, sleepers and monsters--all are captured by Stephan Szantai's unmatched photography.
Accompanying these remarkable pictures is the how and why of each cars build. Painted, re-equipped, modified to taste, these are the Bugs of a generations dreams, a most humble vehicle suddenly and magnificently transformed.

Quoted from Symbi Thanks Heidi, Wonder if this superpower could save the world from mould or something like that?Your new picture is great!
Quoted from Amazone I. hey Madl Symbi, how can you support such medication as being an explorer No side effects in your case.... and how many time did it took for you to go off such a medication....I do have a lot of clients coming to me for advices how to come off those meds; I only use aminoacids and phyto's..... and of course the diets... also here I saw that often people aren't aware at all what they really do on such a pill ....
Quoted from paul clucas Having checked with DW first, the advice that she received was "Pre-eclampsia is very rare in second child."
Quoted from SoulfulLori Dr. D has me taking Cortiguard at 11am (2 pills) and the same 2 pills at night along with Methyl B-12 (2 pills at night). He also has me taking his licorice pill with potassium at 11am too. All of this is for my stress and adrenals...just like you. However, I'm not saying to do this per say as I'm not a doc...just sharing what he did for me. He actually removed my magnesium go figure. I am really focusing on yoga, breathing techniques and learning to set healthy boundaries. It is really a learning curve but I come to find I'm really good at it!
Quoted from SoulfulLori Symbi, I know with Florinef it is given with Potassium because the drug leaches Potassium from your system. Licorice works on the system just like Florinef so my guess is that you need Potassium for the Licorice as well.
Quoted from Munchkin76 Hey SymbiGood on you for getting off the Zoloft! I was on it for about a year when I was 16 (had a lot of problems at home) and ended up taking myself off it. As Possum says, you really are much better off managing serotonin issues naturally if you can!Remember that you have love and support here with your virtual family .Fellow-Brisbanian cheering you on from afar !((((hugs)))) Andy
