Despite the game's great sense of humor, respectable graphics, and well crafted child-friendly horror-themed atmosphere, frustrating and monotonous gameplay make HorrorLand virtually unbearable.
The controls in this horror-themed minigame collection are possessed by an evil spirit whose only goal is to drive you mad.
Despite a few fun excursions, the scariest thing about HorrorLand is its overwhelming mediocrity.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Max Fulton, a Cumming Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever for sale in Cumming, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever dog from a breeder in Cumming.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cumming already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Cumming breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cumming paves the way for another one to be saved.

Portraying various forms of action, Stephen Landau captures strong women in his rather obviously titled 'Action' photo series. Imbuing each image with a gamer aesthetic, his idea of action seems very violent and, I have to say, male-oriented.
Of course, Stephen Landau knows exactly what he's doing. The execution is impressive, if a tad stylized, and there is an undeniable sense of suspense. For even more images, visit Behance. He extends the series to also include movement and espionage.

I have a guest asking about purchasing a gift certificate for the bride. I would rather her "give" money to the bride instead of purchasing a gift certificate so the bride doesn't have to pay anything out of pocket. What's the best way to relay this in an email.
I'm not sure I understand your question... But perhaps you could have her give you money, and you could create a "gift certificate" that can be used only through you - that way the bride doesn't have to pay for direct shipping because she can just add that to her total when she closes out her show or you can add her order to another show.
She wants to buy a PC gift certificate instead of purchasing for the bride. Usually in the past I've had people who gave a check or money to the bride but never purchased a gift certificate. I hate PC gift certificates and def don't want the guest to purchase one on this shower only to have the bride go through ordering with it as you mentioned. She contact me via email and I was trying to figure out the best way to explain this to her.
Even if the buyer gave the bride cash, she might still end up spending her own money - you never know. Does the buyer have any idea what the bride might want to buy? If so, you could total up a sample order and give the purchaser that amount for the gift certificate. But don't use the one's from the company. Create your own, with a note that it's redeemable only thru you. That way you can guide the bride when she's making her purchase. I've found pretty bridal or bridal-looking card stock at Kinkos, Office Depot or Office Max. Use a pretty font and it will look professional and beautiful.
I know you know how the GC works, but you're looking for wording as to how to explain it to the customer, right? How about something like this: Thank you for getting in touch with me. I think it is wonderful that you wish to allow the bride to choose what she needs and wants the most by purchasing a gift certificate. I do want to let you know a tidbit of information regarding the standard gift certificates that you might not be aware of. The official gift certificates are only redeemable through Pampered Chef's website. What this means for Bride is that when she places her order, she will have to pay direct shipping charges, which can be around [$$ based on how much she wants the certificate to be]. As an alternative, I offer personalized gift certificates redeemable through me. Bride can then use this certificate to order products through her bridal shower, or at any time in the future through me, and she will be able to do so through a show, and save significantly on shipping (and I'm sure your intention with the gift is not to get her shipping services, but items for her kitchen). If you still wish to purchase an official gift certificate, I can process the order for you, but I wanted to make sure you had all the information you needed to make you decision. I would not take the option of a HO GC away from her, if she REALLY wants it, but make it very appealing to get a GC from you.
you may also want to add that when redeeming the GC through the PC website, the bride is not allowed to use any discounts at all, she cannot use her 10% discount and she is not allowed to purchase outlet items. Otherwise, Noora's response is terrific. Some people don't mind having to pay direct shipping, but they get downright angry when they find out they are not allowed to use the disoconts they earned.

Jason Mraz and Ne-Yo Talk Christmas Songs and New Year's Resolutions (VIDEOS)
When it comes to Christmas music, it looks like two of the music industry's biggest artists prefer the pop tunes to the religious ones.
"Favorite holiday song? 'The Christmas Song,'" singer Ne-Yo told Celebuzz last Friday, before belting out a few lines from the Nat King Cole classic.
"I'm a holiday nut, I love 'Sleigh Ride,' I love 'Baby, It's Cold Outside,' I love 'Winter Wonderland,'"" soft rock crooner Jason Mraz said. "They're all inclusive, except for those in the southern hemisphere where they're not getting much snow, then I feel bad that I'm singing about snow."
"It's hard to place your heart in the right place."
The singers were just two of a slew of performers at the annual Z100 Jingle Ball show, which was held at New York City's Madison Square Garden.
For Mraz, the holidays are about turning everything off.
"I go off the grid. I go home. I've never played a New Year's show or anything. I love to just go back to Virginia, put on a scarf, be with the family. It's really great," he told us.
As for his New Year's resolution?
"Live the dream. it's all about living the dream 2013," the "I'm Yours" singer said.
On the other hand, Ne-Yo's way of coming up with resolutions involves as little work as possible.
"Here's the trick: you wait till the last hour or so of the year and then you make [your resolution]. So all the way up to that time, you can screw up as much as you want," he said.
Do you have any New Year's resolutions? Share them with us below.

What does in transit +1 hold mean?
So i got a book on hold and it says 1 out of 1 hold on first copy, the first copy of the book say in transit + 1 hold. What does this mean?
- Login to comment
Thu, 2011-03-17 09:32
When you get a message telling you that you are 1 of 1 on an item you've asked us to hold for you, it means that you are the only person with a hold on that book, and next in line to get it. If the message said 1 of 2, it would mean that there are two people on the wait list; you are the first, and there's someone waiting for it after you have your turn. The message that an item is "in transit" means that the book is in the library, but has not yet been processed, and so isn't ready to be placed on the hold shelf. When an item is on the hold shelf for you, the message in your library account will be "ready for pick up". Thanks for the great question!

A National Journal piece on Ted Cruz's edging towards a 2016 presidential run rubbed me the wrong way on a couple of levels.
The first was his looking for a "sweet spot" between the reluctance of Rand Paul to use military action ("Isolationism" is the overstated pejorative of choice) and the lets-bomb-the-bleeps neocon activism of John McCain. That sweet spot sounds quite a bit like the old triangulation of Bill Clinton, finding a politically winsome spot between factions.
The other problematic part of his prose was a disdain of national building.
"If and when military action is called for, it should be A) with a clearly defined military objective, B) executed with overwhelming force, and C) when we're done we should get the heck out," he said. "I don't think it's the job of our military to engage in nation-building. It is the job of our military to protect America and to hunt down and kill those who would threaten to murder Americans. It is not the job of our military to occupy countries across the globe and try to turn them into democratic utopias."
Our ISIS problem largely flows out of a lack of finishing the job in Iraq and letting friction between the Maliki Shia government and Sunnis in the west go unchaperoned. ISIS then swooped in to champion the Sunnis feeling hung out to dry by the US and Baghdad.
No, we can't shoot for a utopia, which is a cheap shot on Cruz's part. But we at least can try to shoot for places where people aren't losing their heads for being of the wrong religion faction.
For a guy who is supposed to be a "Value Voter" favorite, he seems to have a low value of the least of these overseas who could use our help. Our misadventures in Afghanistan and Iraq have created a bear market on neocon stock and should cause us to pick our spots much more carefully going forward, but merely bombing the worse actors back to the Stone Age and get outa Dodge may not be a workable answer to our foreign policy issues.
The piece makes Cruz sound a bit too much of a Pat Buchanan-style paleocon on foreign policy for my taste.

2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience
bvella68 Posts: 1Hello,
I just purchased a new Sedan EX-L for 22,800 Including destination of 710.00. We had a 93 trade that was worth 400.00 and they gave us 1,000.00. Our total was 21,800 plus tax of 1308.00 and fees for 412.00. We bought in NJ, total out the door for the EX-L was 23,512.20. I paid cash. You can do better than the 23,600. -

fishnamedwanda Posts: 3Thank you Edmunds and all those who posted on this thread!!
Thru Edmunds I asked 5 Dallas dealers to quote me a price on the 2010 EX-L V-6. Researched the incentive discussed here which was $900 for 4 cyl and $750 for V6. Most dealers were doubling that incentive until today, Jan 30th.
Here are the negotiated terms of my lease
Price $ 25300 (MSRP=$29815 with standard options)
12K miles/yr
MF .00132 or 3.17%
Residual $ 16696
Payment $263 per mo
I only paid TT&L $1986 + 1st mo $263 = $2250 -
zowzow Posts: 4Just purchased a 2010 Accord EX Auto Sedan (black) for $19,844 from Prime Honda (Boston, MA). This was the out-the-door price, plus vehicle administration fee ($290, whatever that is), plus title and registration ($126), plus sales tax (0.0625). I had a 98 Civic that I traded in for $500 (probably could have gotten a few hundred more for it, but was off my negotiating game by that point). Total out the door (including tax, including my trade, and of course including the incentives): $21,627.
I then paid for all-season floor mats ($167), wheel locks ($93) and remote autostart ($359).
Experience with Prime was very good. Would welcome feedback on how I did. Thanks to everyone on this blog. What a great resource! -
zgzhouyan Posts: 3I bought a 2010 (6 miles on it) EX-L I4 Auto 4 Dr for $23100+TTL yesterday (Jan 30). Here is the breakdown:
tax: $1443.75 (6.25% in Dallas, TX)
Dealer's Inventory Tax: $48.51
Government License and Registration fee: $77.30
Government Certificate of title fee: $33.00
Government Vehicle Inspection fee: $21.75
Documentation fee:$50
Total (out-of-the-door price): $24,774.31.
The vehicle does include the following dealer add-ons:
(1) Paint Sealant
(2) Fabric Sealant
(3) Accent Stripes
(4) Rear Mud Guards
(5) Window Tints(lifetime warranty
(6) Wheel locks
(7) Trunk tray
(8) Nitrogen Upgrade
(9) Door Edge Guards/Wheel Trim
This price used a honda loyalth incentive of $900. I might push one or two hundred bucks down, but need too much energy to negotiate. I thought the price is acceptable considering those add-ons, so decide to buy it at that price.
Finance part: No speical finance deals. got a loan of 4.65% from Honda Finance for 66 months, will get $500 from Honda finance from a coupon (they sent me a $500 coupon because I financed my car from Honda Finance before). . -
bmlexus Posts: 755Hello,
Congratulations on getting the new accord. I am a toyota owner for over 4 years now with 0 problems.
I've been looking for an upgrade for sometime now.
I have looked at a lot of luxury cars and am not sure if I could afford it.
Should I buy the cheapest 5 series as new which Iam not sure if I'll be able to, or maybe slightly used, or is the new accord a better choice? -

cincyaccord Posts: 19Dear, Accord LX-P Fan,
Congratulations on your purchase! I need to compare apples to apples ( I don't presently own a Honda). It sounds like your deal got better during the week, but unclear if the final price included destination and which rebates you got. I would appreciate it if you could let me know your final price within your original format which follows......"I am looking to buy Honda Accord 2010 LX-P in Cincinnati area. The best price I got till now is 19,600 + 710(dest fee)+250(doc fee)+33.50(title) + TAX. Is this a good price? I am not sure what rebates you are mentioning above"...........Also, not crucial, but if possible, can you name your dealer?
Many thanks....keep on truckin'...cincyaccord -
isellhondas Issaquah WashingtonPosts: 18,065Never thought honda will have this problem"
Why not, it's a car with wheels and tires.
You seem to be overeacting to what is probably a simple wheel balance problem.
Tires can flat spot but it doesn't take 1000 miles to stop. Probably more like ten miles.
A wheel balance problem is an easy fix! -
accord_lxp_fan Posts: 4
accord_lxp_fan Posts: 4Yes we already own a Honda and this is our second one.
This is what I have got: M.S.R.P. = $23,565.00
Discount = $4,305.58 (I am not sure what all added up here but my husband told me that this included existing honda owners incentive)
Dealor Coupon = $500.00
Price = $18,759.42 plus tax, title & fees
We purchased the car from Matt Castrussi Honda of Dayton. -

cincyaccord Posts: 19The following quotes have been acquired over the past several days on the Accord Ex Automatic. After much back and forth from some, but not all, Out the Door, itemized prices have been provided. These quotes are for self-financing, have not established a value for my trade-in, and some dealers appear hesitant to guarantee the color. The lowest quote involves a "coupon disount" for the first 50 customers for $750, and my request for a guarantee on that has yet to be responded to. The prices which follow are rounded off to avoid confusion, and are, Cost of Car including Destination Fee:
a) 19,900
b) 21,320
c) 21,420
d) 22,400
e) 22,420
f) 23,200
They are coming at me fairly fast and furious at this point (probably 20 emails and 10 phone calls) and I have made no counter offers. I have just been focused on getting itemized quotes from all (which reveals alot about how straight forward the dealer is). My time spent on Edmunds has been very helpful in knowing what questions to ask, and what is bs....The latest thing I learned on another forum, is when i get to the final negotiation, require the seller to provide the specific VIN number of the car.

RALEIGH, NC—On a Monday afternoon in March, members of a North Carolina nonprofit called Equality NC hunkered down for a two-hour stint in the comment section of a story on the Raleigh News & Observer's website.
It was an op-ed that Equality NC director Chris Sgro had written about tax issues facing same-sex couples in the state, which in 2012 added an amendment to its constitution prohibiting the recognition of same-sex marriages or civil unions. More than 100 commenters weighed in over the two-hour span, but almost all of them engaged in civil discourse, the opposite of what netizens have come to expect in response to divisive issues.
Comment facilitation, in which a reporter, editor, or third party moderates the comment section and interacts with readers, is a popular method for many news outlets trying to battle trolls and libelists. But it's a thankless job, and one that takes resources that many publications just don't have.
Now a nonprofit in North Carolina and researchers in Michigan have teamed up to see if a new kind of comment analysis technology can make things a little easier, and more effective.
The March experiment conducted on the N&O story was the first of may well be many Q&As conducted by SpeakUp NC, a project of the Raleigh-based AJ Fletcher Foundation that aims to elevate comment section discourse. And results of SpeakUp's first few experiments served as a testing ground for a new tool being developed by researchers at Michigan State University's Writing in Digital Environments program that analyzes and sorts language in comment sections to get a better idea of what kind of facilitation leads to productive engagement.
"We want to understand the problem, and [news organizations] want to solve the problem," said Bill Hart-Davidson, one of the MSU researchers. "That's what makes us good partners."
The research started when WIDE, as the MSU program is known, received several years of funding to work with science museums and educators around the country to improve the impact of their online presence. WIDE has developed a number of tools and training methods for museum employees to interact with the public online more effectively, and when the group's work at Durham's Museum of Life and Science caught the eye of SpeakUp director Shannon Ritchie, it became clear that the tools could serve a wider purpose.
WIDE's algorithm, which shows promise for improving news site comment environments, is still being tweaked and is expected to be in beta form later this summer. It works by gathering raw data in the form of words that make up comments (Hart-Davidson says names and usernames are of less interest and aren't stored) and pulls out phrases that have been "pre-coded" for their usefulness in directing conversation. The result is a collection of feedback showing which phrases seemed to draw productive comments and which brought in the trolls.
"We are less interested in the results that any one voice has than a kind of group or ecosystem-like approach, where we can say what conditions have to be in place for there to be a culture of learning to develop and be sustained," Hart-Davidson said.
After the N&O experiment, and another one at the Fayetteville Observer, Hart-Davidson and his colleagues used a preliminary form of their approach to gauge Equality NC's success.
"They analyzed the thread and determined what the best tactics were within the conversation, and showed how the facilitator within the nonprofit organization enhanced the conversation and made it valuable," Ritchie said. "We are able to compare it to similar op-ed comments pertaining to LGBT issues and marriage to show that this was more valuable to public discussion."
Hart-Davidson pointed out examples of "guiding," "staging," and "bridging," buzzwords for different rhetorical styles of conversation direction, showing SpeakUp how Equality NC and others in the discussion moved the conversation forward, sometimes without even realizing it. Examples included, "Let me see if I'm understanding this correctly," "Is there any reason for this other than opposition to marriage equality?" and "To clear up a few misconceptions…"
Being able to determine what is helpful and what isn't in comment section facilitation provides a level of understanding and control that the N&O and papers like it see as a potential boon to readers and reporters alike. Facilitated discussions have a lot of promise, said Eric Frederick, managing editor of online news at the N&O, but it's not clear quite yet just how useful they are, or how many cash-strapped news organizations have the means to devote resources to regular comment facilitation. Combining WIDE's new technology with a trusted moderator could be the answer news organizations are looking for.

But they have chosen, they have chosen to think that sexuality is bad and brahmacharya is good. They ask me, "If I become a witness will I become brahmacharya, will I become celibate?" They are missing the whole point. I am saying, "Don't choose," and they have already chosen. They want to use witnessing as an instrument for their choice. You cannot use witnessing that way.
A man came to me. He was a seeker, a serious seeker, but stupid. There are many stupid seekers - serious. And when I say stupid, I mean they can't understand what they are doing. That man came to me and I told him.
The man was suffering from sex - everyone is suffering because of sex. The suffering has gone so deep that you don't only suffer because of your own sexuality, you also suffer because of others' sexuality. This seems to be madness. You suffer because of your own sexuality and you also suffer because of others' sexuality, because of what others are doing.
Enough misery can be created by your own sexuality. Why be concerned with others? But that misery doesn't seem to be enough for you, so you go on collecting what others are doing: who is doing wrong and who is being good. Who are you to decide? From where have you got the right? Who are you to become a policeman?
The man who came to see me was a policeman. He was suffering because of what everyone else was doing. But I told him, "Don't be worried about others; the real problem must be within you. You have not yet come to terms with your sexuality - that is the problem. Why suffer because of others? Why create other problems? Just to escape from your own? Just to be occupied? Who has appointed you to be a policeman? Why waste your life? Somewhere you must be deeply sex-obsessed, that's why you are concerned with others."
So he said, "You have touched the right wound. I am now sixty-five, and I am still suffering. As I become older, I suffer more. It seems that sexuality is growing with my age. The energy is less, but the sexuality is more. As death is coming near, I feel to be more and more sexual. My whole mind, twenty-four hours a day is obsessed with sex."
I told him, "You have been continuously fighting sex." He was a great seeker; he had remained with so many saints, so many gurus. I told him, "They have destroyed you. You have reached nowhere. Whatsoever you have been doing is wrong. Now, don't fight sex anymore."
The man became afraid. He said, "I have been fighting sex. And this is the result: even with fighting I am so sexual. Now you say, 'Don't fight it!' Then I will become completely mad."
So I told him, "You have tried fighting - now try the other. You have reached nowhere. Now, don't fight!"
"Then what," he asked, "am I supposed to do?"
I told him, "Be a witness."

First, I find IWB carry uncomfortable, but would like to find a IWB holster for my Walther P99c. Because I am continually coming and going and don't carry when I am at home, I want a clip on type holster that I can put on and take off quickly. And, as importantly, I am looking for the thinnest leather holster around that my P99c will fit. I know that Kydex is thin, but I would also like one in leather.
I realize that "comfort" is very subjective, so with those two criteria, easy on and off, and thin leather, I am open to all sugggestions.

I know I'm a sinner, I ask you to come into my heart, and save me, and forgive me of my sins, I repent of my sins, I accept you now as my Lord, and savior In Jesus name amen)
