Doll Bed Makeover
By: Jamielyn Nye for I Heart Nap Time
If your little girl loves her dolls, but you're not keen on high prices, personalize your own easy doll bed! Learn how to make a doll bed with Jamielyn Nye's Doll Bed Makeover!
- Doll bed from Ikea or other wooden frame doll bed
- Spray paint (white or any color of your choice)
- Fabric of your choice for bed cover
- Tulle
- Staple gun
- I started out with this Doll bed from Ikea. When I saw it, I thought it would be a cute prop for my daughter's new born shoot and also fun for her to play with when she's older.
- It was a little plain for my taste, so of course I had to fancy it up a bit. The first thing I did was spray paint it white!
- Then I sewed the pink bed cover to make it a little more girly.
- It was still a little to plain for my taste, so I thought I would add a tulle ruffle bed skirt. I ruffled up the tulle and then stapled it to the bottom of the doll bed. Then you're done!

This was a great idea. I love the picture of the newborn on the bed. What a great gift for when she is older. If you are sewing challenged just gather the tulle by hand using your staple gun as you go, it might not be as full as the one shown but it will work just as well. Fabric could be used like a dust ruffle as well. Hot glue would also work for the fabric, I am not too sure about the tulle it might melt. If you use pinking shears or decorative craft scissors you wouldn't even need to hem the blanket or skirt. This bed looks like it would fit an 18 inch doll.
some people do not know how to use a sewing machine and plus after the ruffles were made there was no picture posted showing what it was used for. More instructions would be nice. :-)

The Human Rights Campaign Foundation will unveil two new public service television spots aimed at curbing anti-gay violence and promoting a greater understanding of gay issues. The 30-second spots will feature the mother of slain Wyoming college student Matthew Shepard.
In the spots, Judy Shepard speaks about the love she and others felt for her son, and urges viewers to "choose to understand." "In a perfect world, because your child is gay, you don't worry about their safety. You just worry about them being happy," Shepard says in the first spot, entitled "Parenthood."
The public service spots, produced with the Matthew Shepard Foundation, will be distributed to every network affiliate and cable operator in the United States that uses public service announcements. The spots will begin arriving at stations the week of September 20th, and should begin airing in October on television stations that choose to run the campaign.
"Judy Shepard's message of unconditional love and support for her son is something that the entire country should hear," said Elizabeth Birch, executive director of the Human Rights Campaign. "Her strength and courage in the face of unimaginable personal tragedy serves as an inspiration to all of us. She has emerged as a powerful voice for fairness in this country."
"The theme 'choose to understand' was designed to inspire genuine reflection about what motivates animus toward gay people and suggest that it is time to dismantle it," said David M. Smith, HRC's communications director and senior strategist, who oversaw the project at HRC. "It is our sincere hope that this campaign will encourage greater understanding and healing."
Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming student, was savagely attacked and left to die, tied to a wooden fence in below-zero temperatures. Law enforcement officials have said that the two men subsequently arrested and charged with Matthew's murder acknowledged that they targeted the 5'2" student because they knew he was gay.
A team of advertising professionals assembled by ad executive Josh Kilmer-Purcell of New York produced the spots. The team includes award-winning directors Chris Reissand Amy Hill, who most recently directed a public service announcement for the Academy of Dermatology highlighting the dangers of skin cancer. Other team members include Laura Fegley, who along with Purcell served as creative director. Dominic Ferro and Kelley Fagan served as co-executive producers.
The Human Rights Campaign is the largest national lesbian and gay political organization with members throughout the country. It effectively lobbies Congress, provides campaign support and educates the public to ensure that lesbian and gay Americans can be open, honest and safe at home, at work, and in the community.

Ministers may increase direct payment exceptions
More people might be switched from direct payment of benefit under universal credit than ministers first thought, a civil servant has said.
Graham Mowat, of the universal credit directorate at the Department for Work and Pensions, said there has been a 'big shift' in ministers' thinking about the numbers of people who might struggle with direct monthly payments.
Under universal credit, due to be phased in from October, a number of benefits, including housing benefit, will be merged into one monthly payment paid direct to households. The DWP is however looking at alternative arrangements for claimants deemed to be unable to cope with direct monthly payments. These arrangements could include switching payment for housing costs to the landlord, splitting payments between partners or paying more frequently than monthly.
Mr Mowat, speaking at the National Housing Federation Finance Conference in Coventry yesterday, said: 'In terms of alternate payment arrangements, we always said we would fund these, the big shift in the past year has been moving on ministerial, special advisors', and secretary of state's thinking about what the acceptable level of volumes might be, particularly at the outset.
'[There is] also a recognition now from ministers that there might be some people who are on alternate payment arrangements into the longer term.
'The big change has been the volumes and we are working at the minute to try and get those volumes into the public domain.'
Mr Mowat also said he acknowledged the communications from the DWP on universal credit have not been 'up to the mark' and there will be more in the future.
He defended the aims of direct payment of benefit to tenants.
'In 1982, when people were still responsible for paying their own rent, before we started to pay it directly [to landlords], the vast majority of people paid the rent,' he said.
'One of the things universal credit seeks to do is to focus more on what people can do as opposed to what they can't - to focus on people's capability and to dispel this notion that everybody on benefit is vulnerable and incapable.'
Readers' comments (8)
Is this the start of the U-turn on UC?
And who will pay the admin costs for this - let me guess, it will be added to the rents.
Surely best way, if they continue with the mad cap scheme, is to let the tenants decide if they want the rent paying direct to the landlord - not much different to deciding to pay by Direct Debit. For people of limit financial resources it is time this was finalised for those currently receiving benefit every 2 weeeks to go to a 4 week payment (when rent is generally due monthly) will be enough of a complication and they will need time to organise their limited resources.
So there has been a 'big shift' in ministers' thinking about the numbers of people who might struggle with direct monthly payments. A quote from Victor - I don't believe it! On what planet do our Govt live on?
"One of the things universal credit seeks to do is to focus more on what people can do as opposed to what they can't - to focus on people's capability and to dispel this notion that everybody on benefit is vulnerable and incapable."
I don't think ANYBODY has been saying that EVERYBODY on benefits is vulnerable and incapable. I don't think anybody even had this notion.
What the government were warned about time and time again was that a significant MINORITY of benefits recipients would struggle with direct payments and would get into arrears.
It would be nice if the government and the DWP actually dealt with the REAL situation instead of inventing scenarios to try and make their soft-shoe-shuffle around the problems that they initially denied would exist at all seem less like a full-blown retreat.It's a great idea - give tenants the power to manage their own finances. Allow them to join the rest of the human race and see beauty in standing orders and the expense account.
What I don't get is having the sanction of direct payments removed, even as a last resort opt-in, when the only remaining option is to send in the bailiffs?
It's same old story. First they treat you like a child to inflate their own importance. Then they encourage you to stand up on your own two feet. And if you're not up and running immediately, they slap you down with a "I told you so. Now do as you're told". An unjust punishment for breaking the unspoken rule
However there is no attempt at rehabilitation it's all retribution, metaphorically speaking the act of corporal punishment is to be an execution - it's the short, sharp "Goodbye. You're the weakest link" of Anne Robinson. Bullies go for the weakest link to break the chain....well I didn't see that coming!
The con dems have already imposed £24 Billion of benefit cuts onto
the poorest people in the country , and many of these are repeating
annual cuts to cause massive shortfalls in these people meeting
their ever increasing costs of living , and then these people are having
to face the UC system of paying benefits at the end of a 4 week period
How are these people supposed to cope with these collassal benefit
cuts and then deal with "direct payment".
For example , social landlords want their rent paid weekly in advance
and do not allow any 4 week waiting period.
Meanwhile , Banks are getting their "mortgage relief " benefit
payments still paid direct to them , unlike social landlords who
are going to have to confrount their tenants about these due payments.
The Universal Credit system seems like another drastic benefit cut
ontop of all the recent cuts that the poor are being hurt by.

Hi dudes! It's been a while since I've seen a film where the special effects really surprised me. The thing is that these days everything is ordinary: it's absolutely normal to go to the cinema and see giant robots, extreme explosions, blah blah blah.
As a technician I thought that the fight with the Lizard in The Amazing Spiderman was wonderful, (have a look at the breakdown!), but the work done by our friends over at MPC for World War Z is just next level!
Whether you like or dislike the film (I've heard mixed reviews but in my opinion it's like a breath of fresh air in the Zombie genre), we couldn't say anything bad about the effects.
The level of detail in the simulations is so high that I got shivers thinking about the guys working on the project (and I don't even know if we can talk about simulation, given that watching the breakdown I've got a feeling that the zombies might have been animated MANUALLY, instead of using Massive or other simulation software/ If this is the case I'm sure that some real lives must've been sacrificed while making the human-column scene).
But don't just take my word for it, have a look yourself and prepare for your jaw to drop... not for real though... we are not zombies, quite yet.

CNN's Anderson Cooper at the cable news network's "Heroes" special event. (Photo : Reuters)
Anderson Cooper has become the latest celebrity victim of a prank called "swatting."
"Swatting" is a growing prank trend in which someone calls 911 to report a fake crime taking place at someone else's house, which then results in police and a SWAT team invading the home.
A storm of cops busted into Cooper's home in the Hamptons after someone reported a bogus shooting taking place at his house last month.
Like Us on Facebook
The New York Post reports that a 911 caller told law officials in Southampton Town that a man shot his wife at the CNN anchor's home in Quiogue. Cops from four departments surrounded his home, but found no signs of a shooting, sources say.
This is the first time that the hoax has occurred anywhere outside Los Angeles as a number of celebrity homes in LA have been "swatted" over recent months.
Back in April, TMZ reports that Justin Timberlake was "swatted" after an unidentified caller reported that four men broke into his LA home and fired two shots. The caller added that the intruders left a box with red blinking lights in the singer's home.
Other celebrities including Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Tom Cruise, P. Diddy and Rihanna have also fallen victim to the hoax.
Earlier this year, a 12-year-old boy admitted to plotting the "swatting" pranks targeting the homes of Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber.
The boy, who is being prosecuted as a juvenile and has not been identified, will be sentenced by a juvenile judge in his home county for making false bomb threats and computer intrusion counts related to "swatting." He is also being charged with a misdemeanor for falsely reporting an emergency in connection to a call at the home of Justin Bieber. The LAPD also say that the boy "swatted" small businesses.

McGregor, TX — A very special airplane is in the Waco-area this weekend, and you have a chance to fly onboard.
Rand Siegfried is in town from California this weekend.
He will be flying people around in a rare 1929 Ford Tri-Motor Airplane - the world's first commercial airliner.
For just $75 you can fly in the only one still in use.
"Most planes fly exactly the same," said Siegfried. "But this one, since it's all cable controlled and it's not a small airplane, you have to physically move your controls quite a bit. There's no power steering. It's an older Ford, not a modern Ford."
Siegfried then throttles up and takes off.
"She flies very sweetly. She's like a gracious older lady; She will do anything you ask of her with grace and aplomb. As long as it's what she wants to do."
As you can imagine in a plane almost 100 years old, the ride is pretty loud.
But the views given are still spectacular.
Siegfied said, "We've got plenty of availability. Come on out to McGregor Executive Airport and come for a ride."
The event, sponsored by Stanley Ford and the EAA, runs from 9 to 5, Friday through Sunday so go and check it out.

Sweet Briar College is a liberal arts women's college in Sweet Briar, Virginia, United States, about 12 miles (19 km) north of Lynchburg, Virginia. The school's Latin motto translates as: "She who has earned the rose may bear it."
The college is on 3,250 acres (13,152,283 m2) donated by the founding family of Indiana Fletcher Williams. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
The school is named after the former Sweet Briar plantation, the former plantation of Elijah Fletcher and his family. Fletcher was a 19th-century teacher, businessman, and mayor of Lynchburg. His wife, Maria Crawford, is credited with naming the land Sweet Briar. By the mid-19th century, Fletcher had between 80 and 100 slaves at the plantation. After their emancipation in 1865, several continued to work for pay and live at Sweet Briar. On Elijah Fletcher's death, his daughter, Indiana, inherited the plantation.
When she died in 1900, she willed the land and much of her assets to starting a college for women, as her daughter Daisy had died at 16 and, therefore, never had a chance to attend college.

The campus is situated on 3,250 acres (13 km2) in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The college's architecture is dominated by the work of Ralph Adams Cram, who also lent his architectural expertise to the campuses of Princeton University and West Point, among others. The campus property also includes the Sweet Briar plantation burial ground, in which upwards of sixty slaves are buried; according to some, an authentic slave cabin remains on the land, but this is probably not the case as the cabin does not follow building techniques associated with cabins of the day. The techniques used actually reflect modern techniques and may simply be an early reproduction. Archaeologists have uncovered many slave artifacts. Twenty-one of the thirty buildings on campus were designated as the "Sweet Briar College Historic District" by the National Register of Historic Places. Also listed is Sweet Briar House.356
The school functions on a semester system,7 and operates 50 undergraduate courses of study as well as 3 pre-professional programs: Pre-Law, Pre-Medicine and Pre-Veterinary and two graduate degrees. Both programs are co-ed and in the field of education.
- Sweet Briar College is the second women's college to offer an engineering degree.
- Sweet Briar College offers several abroad programs to its students, the two largest being Junior Year in France and Junior Year in Spain.

Forget the candle.
Nathan Pryor, 37, of Vancouver, Wash., has successfully come up with the coolest, most entertaining new way to light up a pumpkin.
Behold the Pumpktris. It's a remake of one of the most popular video games of all time, inside a pumpkin.
"Pumpktris is a fully playable version of Tetris built into a pumpkin, with 128 LEDs for the display and the stem serving as a game controller," the video's description explains.
Pryor remains humble about his piece of work though, despite its video going viral in less than three days. "I just have a thousand different ideas," he told ABCNews.
And surprisingly, he records them all in a notebook to keep track of his sporadic thoughts. So in early October when he was flipping through his notebook, he came back across his original idea for pumpkin Tetris from about a year ago.
"My original idea about a year ago was to try to grow pumpkins into Tetris shapes, wrap a mold around a pumpkin as it grows. But I didn't follow through," Pryor said. "About a month ago I saw that little note in my notebook. I thought, 'It's too late to start that project, but why not make a Tetris in the pumpkin that you can play?' And it just went from there."
And his friends are so glad it did. He brought the pumpkin to a party last Saturday and it easily stole the show.
"I went to a party on Saturday night and didn't have much of a costume because I spent so much time working on the pumpkin. The pumpkin was cool enough, I didn't need the big costume," he joked.
Altogether, the Pumpktris took him about 12 hours to make; he worked on it for about a week and a half in the evenings after putting his son to bed.
Pryor has an entire blog detailing the elaborate step-by-step process he took to build the pumpkin, but here's a much shorter version:
"There are 128 lights in there. The first step was to solder all those together into a grid so each one connects to the light next to it. Then those all connect to a couple of LED matrix controllers. Then that just tells the LEDs to turn this one on, this one off," Pryor explained.
As for the joystick, he continued, "the joystick wasn't even in my original plan. As I started fooling around with it, I thought, Wow, I can make a joystick out of the stem."
And despite all the technicalities, the hardest part of Pryor's process was looking for the pumpkin with the right shape and stem. He went through three pumpkins that "just didn't quite fit right."
But once he found the perfect pumpkin, he cut off the stem and drilled a bolt into it that attaches to the joystick. The joystick is held into the pumpkin with drywall anchors. And although he's pleased with the way the game turned out, there's unfortunately nothing he can do about the pumpkin's rotting.
"It's already started deteriorating. There's some mold growing across the face of it. It's getting a little squishy," said Pryor.
He enjoyed the project because he likes to "keep busy and keep learning and entertaining," but next year, he says, he's just "going to carve the simplest, most grinning face you've ever seen."
"I certainly don't want to try to top this in any way," he said.

Light meals perfect for summer diningThursday, June 13th, 2013 Issue 24, Volume 17.
Although warm weather may bring to mind backyard barbecues, there is much more to seasonal dining than heavy meats. Looking for fresh, seasonal choices on menus can be not only tantalizing, but set well on the stomach. When the temperature climbs, few people want to fill their stomachs with heavy, hot foods. Instead of thinking about soups that are overly-filling and heavy with meat, many chefs offer delightful chilled soups in the summer. Café des Artistes owner Michael Calvanese is a genius in the variety of freshly prepared soups he offers. With both hot and cold selections throughout the week, the café is an Advertisement Salads of all varieties make for great summer dining. Local menus feature a bevy of choices that are topped with grilled chicken or fish, and more. Many of the compositions include fresh berries, grapes, and/or raisins to lend both flavor and texture to the dish. While cream-based dressings like ranch, blue cheese, and thousand island are popular in the American culture, to lighten up on the calorie count, try a restaurants vinaigrette choices which can add both sweet and tart flavors to a salad. More and more restaurants are offering vegetarian entrees including in sandwiches. Look for selections that feature Portobello mushrooms in sandwiches as well as other grilled vegetables. Warm-weather dining can be perfect for exploring different flavor options and reducing calorie consumption. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Giving feedback (2)What to give feedback aboutThe feedback that students seemed to feel most valuable addressed the content and the organization of the assignment, and the extent to which the assignment addressed the topic. You may certainly want to point out a limited number of characteristic language difficulties, and refer the student to a resource like Language and Learning Online , or to language and learning support staff for further assistance. But while detailed grammar corrections throughout the assignment may be appreciated as confirmation that the work has been closely read through (see above), they are unlikely to contribute much to language learning, and may obscure feedback comments that are of greater utility to the student.

Grant for Agricultural Extension Services in Ethiopia
As part of its 'Building Climate Change Resilience' initiative, the Rockefeller Foundation has provided a grant of US$ 323,000 for the training of trainers on weather and climate information and products for the Agricultural Extension Services in Ethiopia. WMO's Agricultural Meteorology Programme of the Climate Prediction and Adaptation (CLPA) Branch of Climate and Water Department will implement the project. The objective of the project is to support the National Meteorological Agency of Ethiopia to engage with and provide training to agricultural extension agents and agricultural experts and to assist them in providing better practical knowledge of agro-meteorological services and applications to farmers. Such training will improve farming practices and increase or secure agricultural production. Ethiopia has great agricultural potential given its vast areas of fertile land, diverse climate, generally adequate rainfall and large labour pool. Agriculture is the most important sector in the Ethiopian economy, accounting for over 40 per cent of GDP and 80 per cent of exports, and engaging 80 per cent of the labour force. Many other economic activities depend on agriculture, including marketing, processing and export of agricultural products. Around 75 per cent of Ethiopia's 74 million people are dependent on agriculture, which is almost entirely rain-fed and small-scale. Coffee and, more recently flowers, are the only major commercial crops. Ethiopia is Africa's second biggest maize producer. Its livestock population is believed to be the largest in Africa, accounting for 10.6 per cent of Ethiopia's export income in 2006/2007 - with leather and leather products making up 7.5 per cent and live animals 3.1 per cent. Both farmers and pastoralists are highly dependent on the climate for their livelihoods. Agricultural extension personnel play an important intermediary role between developers of agro-meteorological products (National Meteorological and Hydrological Services, universities, research institutes) and farmers. A key reason for low-level use of agrometeorological services in African countries is often the lack of effective liaison between the institutions providing information and relevant advisories and those responsible for their transfer to the farming community. This challenge is compounded by insufficient education and training of the user community, including the farm advisory services that provide specific agricultural advice from general weather information. It is against this background that WMO proposed a program of Training of Trainers through Roving Seminars in Ethiopia for the Agricultural Extension Services in different regions of Ethiopia to familiarize the Services in use of weather and climate information and their applications in operational farm management. Seminars will be held in each chosen district that will bring together the agricultural extension workers and local farmers to give the extension officers "hands on experience" in transferring weather and climate information to the community. Towards the end of the project phase, a survey of other delivery channels to disseminate climate information for small-holder farmers in Ethiopia, such as SMS messages through cell phones, local radio, etc., will be undertaken, with the preliminary results published in the final project report. About the Rockefeller Foundation's Initiative: The Rockefeller Foundation's Building Climate Change Resilience initiative seeks to help poor and vulnerable communities prepare for, withstand and recover from the devastating effects of climate change. This work is targeted towards insuring that resilience strategies are a more integral part of agricultural research, development, planning and implementation in African countries, strengthening, in turn, the resilience of smallholder farmers to climate variability and change and making current investments in improving African agriculture more successful. The Foundation is investing in efforts including: helping agricultural research and development organizations in Africa integrate climate change resilience measures into their practice; testing interventions that could be implemented more extensively in African countries to build resilience to climate variability and change; and developing the necessary scientific evidence base and policy environment to promote agricultural resilience-building in Africa. |

[Paid] Project Puzzle Devil - Seeking Professional Programmer(s) for iOS, Android, C
I'm looking for programmers that are fluent with developing for iOS, Android, and the web (as well as C# and perhaps some cross compatible game engines like Unity). Read the post to find out more. This is a PAID FOR position and I hope we can negotiate.
firstname.lastname@example.com Hi there! My name is David Vitas (daVIDVItas!). I'm a musician and audio graduate that has worked on a couple independent games in the past. I feel it's time to start tackling my own projects. Who'se with me? My first true project is small/medium (an iOS game to be exact). The genre is puzzle, with a whole host of rhythm and music thrown in for good measure. The player moves blocks and such; I can't explain much more without contact. If you're interested I can definitely send you everything you need to know post Non-disclosure agreement. Today, I'm seeking programmers that are fluent with developing in the iOS and android environment. Generally speaking, I'd like for the game to be on both platforms. To simplify things, the use of a cross-compatible engine could work very well. Additionally, I'm also seeking someone that has a good understanding in anything web related, as well as C#. The programmer would be responsible for gluing all the pieces together in a timely fashion, including: - The actual gameplay mechanics - Store for downloadable content on the app itself - iAD's - A WHOLE lot more! So far, I have completed a pretty extensive design document. I have also mocked up the entire app, so the planning is all complete. The final artwork for the game is about 95% complete (minus some unexpected tweaks and such). I hired a brilliant artist and it looks spectacular. Of course I'll have examples to show you upon contact. Since I come from an extensive music background, I will also be handling all the audio myself. You can check out some of my work on my [URL="http://www.davidvitas.com"]website[/URL]. Finally, I'm in the process of throwing up an official website for the company I am starting. We have a mascot and everything ! The site will be up in 1-2 weeks time. What I need from you are some examples of your work, and how much you charge. I'm either looking for what it would take for the whole project, or what you charge hourly. If you are charging by the hour, I'd like your professional opinion on how long (hours) it would take to complete the project. I require these values for budgetting of course. Thanks, I look forward to working with you! David [URL="http://www.davidvitas.com"]http://www.davidvitas.com[/URL] firstname.lastname@example.com |

Having never played DF, I have to wonder what the Ganker/Griefer factor will be? Some of the things I heard about the origional Darkfall in that regard kept me from ever giving it a try. I actualy like Open World PvP but I prefer factional based PvP where you don't have to be concerned that EVERY player you meet is a closet sociopath just waiting till your back is turned to stab you. The thing I like about factional PvP is that you have a built in set of Allies that have an enlightened self-interest to work with you against a common enemy. The problem with FFA PvP, especialy for new players, is that it's really more like PvV (Player vs Victem). The engagement is so dispropotionaly stacked against the new player that they essentialy have ZERO chance of avoiding defeat. It actualy PREVENTS them from learning to play the game rather then teaches them to do so, and prevents them from finding some way to become a part of the game community. It's a little bit like spawn camping in a FPS. If the player gets blown up before being able to take a step repeatedly...then the only thing they are learning is "DON'T Spawn". If it's the only spawn point and it happens PERSISTANTLY over the course of multiple days all the new player is really being taught is "DON'T PLAY THIS GAME." |
I wish you would have asked how they would handle the launch distribution of the game, as in how will they be dealing with charging of it. I'm aware that they said they wouldn't be charging existing owners of DF, but that was when they were just developing an expansion; not an entirely different game. I'd really like to know if they plan to give UW to people who already purchased DF or if we'll be required to purchase this game as well. What concerns me most is that the game is supposed to launch in two months, and the thing they keep concentrating most on is that it's a "new" game because of things like dynamic lighting. Even when asked about how the gameplay changed between the two games they respond with dynamic lighting. I'm really confused how visual upgrades have anything at all to do with gameplay. I'm having a bit of deja vu here. They used to go on about 3d sound, and how sound will be a big part of the original DF, now with UW I'm seeing Tasos going about Dynamic lighting and how much they worked on sound in the game. You would think that two months before the launch they would be talkinga bout more then visual, sound, and UI upgrades; especially when this is supposed to be a new game. I have a feeling everyone will be required to pay for this new game, when they're really not doing anything that other MMO's will give you free as an xpac. CCP comes to mind when I think of a sandbox MMO that releases xpacs that include a lot of graphical overhauls, as well as entirely new gameplay, and they've never pitched an expansion as a new game or charged anyone for an xpac. I'm also not fooled by your "a lot of people here know very little about DF" comment Bill. I remember very clearly what you guys said for the reason why you had so much coverage on the original DF. :) Controversy drives traffic. |
Originally posted by goflish Your statement is untrue. Tasos himself even said that they hoped to have addressed this issue with melee mechanics with UW. He said in the video that they had resolved the sprinting in circles and swinging wildly as the way melee combat is resolved. There is absolutely no reason to continue defending this when the developers own actions and statements clearly indicate that it was poorly done and so addressed in the new game. |

I would want more info on the sandbox part of the game and not news on how more awesome the pvp part of the game will be. This game is advertized as a sandbox yet all the comments I see are that pve sucks majorly. |
Originally posted by Flex1 my worries too, make me think if this game is a sandbox or a excuse for a FPS PVP arena. |
Originally posted by Flex1 Even better would be for the developers, two months prior to it's release, to talk about something other than graphics and UI. |
Originally posted by 123443211234 Well based on the dismal performance of DF... I'm going to guess DF UW will probably not be for many people. |
Either way definitely lookin forward to this! Bring it on!

Originally posted by TsaboHavoc Exactly. Right now all I see is a Guild centered player vs player exclusive game. That is not sandbox, that is pure team pvp. A "sandbox" game needs both to be called that, player versus enviroment and player versus player. If a player wants to be an explorer and find secret places and fight mythical beasts then he should be able to do so, if another player wants to be a bandit trying to rob that explorer he should be able to do so too BUT the explorer doesn't exist here. |
Ask broly's father to do the QA next time.

Originally posted by Flex1 I would agree. I even made a thread when the original game launched about it not being a true sandbox because of pretty much this. Tasos said that they made UW with people who were hesitant to try the original DF in mind, yet they have have to say if they even bothered to address the PK system they have in place currently. The PK system that was easily exploitable, and nonconsequential. There was so much ganking in the game because the PK system didn't adiquetely discourage people from killing other players. And having people constantly running in front of you while you're fighting a mob off in the hopes that you'll hit them twice and turn grey so they can kill you without penalty was beyond annoying. |

Originally posted by Uhwop i'd agree on the graphics part. but the UI was probably THE #1 dealbreaker for most people with Darkfall. i had a number of personal friends that said the gameplay and world itself was great but they just refused to get used to the quirks and all the needless complications/clunkiness of the UI. and i couldn't blame them, even tho i personally found it worth getting used to.

I just want a skill cap in tha game, I dont like that you can max out all the skills. I know its hard to do but still., I want myself and others to have to make a choice on maxing out one thing and not getting another skill type.

Originally posted by Flex1 i've subbed the game for 4 or 5 months (spread out over 3 years), and exploring its vast and extremely immersive world has been probably about %70 of my reason for being in the game. i spend more than half my time LONE WOLF exploring the world (and PVE'ing/questing). and i've STILL explored only maybe %33 of it. and now that the grind has been reduced by a factor of 20x, you have the means and skills/stats to do it pretty safely as long as you keep watching your back.

Originally posted by corpusc I was in the minority. I didn't think the UI was very good by any measure, but it never actually bothered me. It did bother me that a lot of people were using stuff like autoHK to do things in the UI at inhuman speeds, like looting. Concerning your previous post. I'm not really sure what you mean by DF being 3yrs ahead of every other game as far as PvE went. It was literally the same kind of PvE that Lineage 2 had minus interesting dungeons and quests. The game is actually very much like L2, except that guilds have much less impact on the surrounding world when they owned a castle. Especially when you consider that they're changing dungeons and adding more quests and lore to the world, according to DF. If the PvE was years ahead of every other game, they wouldn't be changing, and people wouldn't have been complaining that it's just griding on mobs to raise stats so you can PvP. It's not like guilds were fighting each other to kill the dragon in the middle of the map on a regular basis, and a lot of people were complaining that many of the harder mobs in the game weren't worth killing at all. Not to mention the level of mob exploiting in the game that I'd never seen in any other MMO. The AI was actually pretty good, but the PvE as a whole was still just grinding the same mob in the same area for incredibly long periods of time to raise stats. It's a little hard to be years ahead of other games when that's how old MMO's worked. MMO's have been evolving away from that for a reason. |

Finding Out What to Do On Pass, Day 0
Waking to a booming sound, I forgot I was in Qatar. My heart raced, pumping adrenaline, as I anticipated hearing the sirens that signal mortar attacks. There were voices in the hallway, then another boom. After about 40 seconds I remembered I where I was, figuring out that more people had arrived for pass and had moved into the room next to mine. The boom was just their door slamming. I dozed off until my alarm sounded at about 08:30.
I got ready for the day, not knowing how I would spend it. I stopped in at the chow hall and caught the news on the BBC while I ate breakfast. I recalled hearing British accents on the radio on the bus the previous day, shortly after landing in Qatar. Signs of colonization are still evident.
After breakfast, I caught the bus to the USO. As at every USO I've visited, it was a place for troops to relax. There was a rule that shoes be removed before entering, and the contemporarily decorated interior boasted multiple video-gaming systems, an area for reading periodicals, and a home theater where soldiers could lounge on bean bags and overstuffed pillows. It was comfortable and a good place to decompress, but designed for the younger members of the military.
Next to the USO was a cafe, Green Beans, where I purchased a coffee before finding my way to the computer lab, where there was unrestricted free Internet access. Next to the computer lab were rooms filled with DSN phones, on the military network. They allow you to make free calls home. I phoned my parents and brother.
After my call home, it was time to check the venue sign-up sheets. People on the R&R Pass program could sign up for small inexpensive activities, called venues, ranging from a tour of downtown Doha to a trip to a local mall. Every day, people on pass got to sign up for venues, even though the program only guaranteed participation in one. I decided to go on as many as I could since it might be my only time in Qatar. (I encourage anyone going on the Qatar pass to do the same. Participation in the venues really made a difference; it was better than sitting around the installation for four days.)
I waited in line for almost an hour, and to my surprise when I got to the front there was still space on the day-long cultural trip to Doha. It cost $20, including lunch at a local restaurant. I had a plan for the following day, but what to do next?
I decided to venture to the post pool. I went to my room to change, picked up a towel and went to the bus stop. While waiting, I realized the weather in Qatar was as hot as it was in Iraq, but the humidity was markedly higher. A thick haze hung in the air as I sweated on the bench.
I found the pool and a Chili's restaurant, too. Though a chain, it was a little bit of the U.S. in a not-so-American place. I put returning for dinner later in the week, on my to-do list. I enjoyed the pool until sunset, swimming, reading and people-watching for about three hours. I felt really far from Iraq by this point.
Time came to meet up with a fellow soldier from the 224th at the bar. We purchased our three beers over the course of several games of darts and exchanged stories about home. Before long, the last-call horn blew and we headed home. I had to be up for my trip into Doha the following morning.

4 Day R&R Pass, Qatar

Next: Trip to Doha, Qatar, Day 1
Unbelievable. Bert is taking 2 four day passes while he is on his 6 month tour. I have known of military folks who have done a year in Iraq without one pass let alone two. I have also read about Berts comments on the laundry. My gosh man how much more do you want. You complain because you think they soak it hot water and its not clean enough for you. When was the last time you had to wash your clothes in a bucket because there were no other options? Juast two short years ago thats what some had to do in Iraq. You are trying to get internet in your living space. Big deal, go to the internet center like everyone else. You complain about walking through the dust coming back from the shower and have to wash you feet again. What about the grunt on the ground who doesnt have the chance to shower daily? I guess your main concern is for yourself. If you ever happen to look and see how bad things were in Iraq not to long ago and how bad some still have it maybe you would try to find something positve about your time in Iraq instead of all this whining and crying you are doing now. Suck it up and stop being such a baby.

Don't Redesign Your Website Yet
I spend so much time talking about how nonprofits need to improve the usability, design and performance of their websites, that you'd think I'd be a huge advocate for website redesigns. And, I am but...
I just read The 7 Deadly Sins of Website Redesign by Shabbir Safdar of Safdar Analytics and it gave me pause.
According to Safdar, there are seven grave errors (sins) that many nonprofits and their consultants commit when engaging in expensive and time consuming redesigns.
For example, in Sin #1, Safdar asserts that if you aren't careful, you may break all the links to your website when you launch your new site. This is a NO-NO as it can seriously damage your Search Engine Ranking. When people can't find your site it damages your traffic and credibility. All the "link-juice" you've built up over time is gone to waste.
In Sin #4, Safdar explains that a redesign, while it may improve the aesthetics of your site, can actually make it HARDER for prospective donors, volunteers and clients do what they come to your site to do! The answer: Be sure to do some basic usability testing BEFORE you launch. IMHO the best and most accessible book about usability testing for novices is Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug.
Your website is your home base on the Net. It is still a critical tool for helping you to achieve your organizational goals. As such, you should continually refine and improve its' performance.
However, read Safdar's new FREE e-book BEFORE you engage in a full-fledged redesign. (Heck, share the e-book with your designer!) It will save you lots of heartache.

I have also read ' Dont make me think' and after reading that our own company website is based on the those principles. Organizations need to present their material in such a way that it grabs the users attention with just 15 seconds.
My 2 cents.

(KMOV) – Some people are reportedly scamming the system to get their pets declared as 'service animals' so they can get their pets into places they aren't normally allowed.
News 4's Sharon Reed spoke to people who genuinely need an animal to get through day-to-day tasks as she learned more on the possible legislation changes to protect those who truly need the service dogs.

Bon Jovi Gets Permission To Extend Curfew At Gillette Stadium
Monday, July 15, 2013
Fans can plan to stay later at Bon Jovi's concert at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts on Saturday night (July 20th). The Foxboro Board of Selectman has decided to extend the band's curfew from 11:15 to midnight.
According to My Fox Boston, Bon Jovi requested the extension after Boston-based J. Geils Band was added to the night's lineup. Town officials will reportedly be stationed at the soundboard and outside the stadium to measure the decibels and ensure that everyone is compliant with the agreement, which includes turning the sound off at 11:50.
Bon Jovi faces stiff penalties if they opt to play beyond the midnight hour. They will be fined on a sliding scale, ranging from five cents per attendee for a five-minute violation to $1.75 per attendee if they play beyond 1:00 a.m.
In other Bon Jovi news, the group's current Because We Can tour is currently ranked as the highest-grossing tour of the year, raking in $142 million over the course of 60 shows this year.

To the Editor:
The fact that a week has gone by since the ceasefire ended hostilities in the Gaza Strip in no way negates the lingering horrors of the vicious attack on our homes and businesses. The assault and isolation of Gaza damps the forehead of humanity, made many times worse by the desertion and silence of the international community.
The occupation of Gaza continues to fester on the chest of Palestine and its children while the halt in fighting deflects the world's attention from the magnitude of the suffering a week of aerial bombardments inflicted on the civilian population. I personally suffered the loss of Yusra Shawwa, my beautiful young relative who only recently began her college education. What a loss! The pain and bereavement inflicted by her tragic death can never be relieved by the implementation of a ceasefire agreement.
Such losses do not know borders. All violence must end. We call on Palestinian leaders of all factions, the Arab states and international powers to carry out their duties and put an end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip, aggression against its people and their protection from all forms of violence.
The Shawwa family deplores and condemns the targeting of our home in the Rimal neighborhood, which was reduced to rubble last week. And we deplore the killing of innocent civilians by the occupation forces and its attempts to destroy our beautiful Gaza.

Brewing world-class beer starts with the right ingredients. We import all our ingredients from the country of origin, according to the style of beer we are brewing. In today's global economy, we are blessed with the opportunity to obtain the finest ingredients from all over the world. Being able to order a traditional Belgian yeast strain, fresh picked hops from Germany, or the finest malt on the planet from England makes our finished product stand out above the rest. It costs more to brew beer that way, but our reputation rides on every pint. Maybe that's why Emmett's has been recognized locally, nationally and internationally with prestigious awards for our fine handcrafted beers.
Distinct, traditional recipes created with only the best ingredients produces a superior product. Our goal is to ensure that product reaches you in absolute pristine condition. On our brewery tours we always say, "From grain to glass is 40 feet". What that means is, the entire process of brewing, fermenting, conditioning, filtering and serving our beer all happens in that short distance. It can't get any fresher! Beer is always best at its source, and brewing in small batches assures you that every pint of Emmett's Ale House beer will be fresh, traditional and delicious.
