RAVAGED is a multiplayer vehicular FPS being developed by an indie studio that wants to make a fun game without publisher restrictions!
About this project
Update: Check out our FAQ at goo.gl/7425U for all your Ravaged questions! We're also building a WIKI at ravaged.wikia.com
Let's bring back the fun!
As video game developers we often get pulled into the land of publishers. While its good to have someone backing your game, it also tends to focus games towards trends, numbers and executive goals. This has sucked the life out of most games and killed off many good studios.
Well here is your chance to be part of a game where the fun is the focus. To do this, we are going to need your help to put the finishing touches on the game, join our beta and help us get the word out.
The Kickstarter funding will be used to
- Finalize marketing and publishing material for Steam
- Finish production of the game trailer
- Set up beta testing equipment
- Develop more vehicles and weapons
- Add finishing touches to gameplay and levels
The game is called Ravaged, a post-apocalyptic vehicular first-person shooter. Think Mad Max meets Battlefield where a group of resistance soldiers fight for humanity while scavengers look to control it all.
The game features over 30 vehicles and weapons, amazing post-apocalyptic maps and 10 classes to choose from.
Check out our Development Diary videos to see some of our vehicles in action!
Why is this different from other first person shooters?
Focus on Fun
- Vehicles are fun to drive
- Crazy melee combat
- Fast-paced mayhem
- Cool characters
- Great new game modes
Skill is Needed
- Vehicles and weapons require skill to use, noobs beware!
Teamwork is Essential
- Tactics required! If you go it alone, your team won't win. Many levels feature Capture the Resources game modes which requires teamwork and planning.
Amazing Levels
- Level have great depth, amazing places to climb and hide
- What if scenarios: snowed in cities, dried-up oceans and more
- Battles range in players from 16 (8v8) to 64 (32v32)
Focus on Community
- We care about your ideas and feedback and at every step of testing will be asking for your thoughts and working to make this the fun game you want to play!
We solemnly pledge 5% of the profits from the finished product
back to the Kickstarter community to help fund other people's dreams.
About the Team
Established in 2009, 2 Dawn Games is a team of AAA game and indie developers dead set on bringing the fun back to games. Our team is made up of passionate gamers who have worked on games such as Desert Combat, DCON, the Battlefield series and more. We want this game to be fun and without the restrictions of a publisher, we can support the community the way we want to.
Beta will be in Spring 2012 and Release in Summer 2012. We'll have more specific dates once we work out some details with Steam.

Best Bike Fixer (2005)
Jenn Dice
Everyone knows about the pernicious effect of money in politics: Fancy-cat lobbyists use gobs of cash to sleaze their evil corporate agendas into sweetheart legislation. That's exactly what Jenn Dice, the government liaison for the Golden-based IMBA, does...not. In place of the regular cocktail-party circuit usually plied by Beltway lobbyists, IMBA dispatches Dice, 33, to introduce legislative staffers to its bike-friendly agenda by convincing them to get outside and on a mountain bike. Each year, the organization sponsors spring and fall rides in Riverbend Park in Fairfax County, Virginia. A literal breath of fresh air, the muddy gatherings give the desk-bound policy wonks a saddle-side opportunity to see what mountain biking is all about. And it doesn't suck for Dice, a former lobbyist for Colorado counties, either. "It's really cool," she admits. "It lets me combine what I love doing with my government experience."

Typesetting with groff Macros
Just like the vi editor and gcc compiler, groff is one of the mainstay classics in the standard UNIX/Linux environment. We have seen just a few ways of using groff's extensive macro capabilities to define markup and page layout interfaces that readily turn plain text files into typeset-quality print.
The features covered here are by no means the whole story. For example, groff also includes native facilities for drawing lines, curves, circles, ellipses and polygons with shaded filling. And, this does not even begin to cover groff's suite of preprocessors for graphs (grap), pictures (pic), equations (eqn), tables (tbl) and bibliographic references (refer). As is customary with GNU and Linux software, groff comes with thorough and high-quality documentation. (See Resources for more information.) And there are, of course, active mailing lists for staying current with groff and interacting with its user community.
This article has been aimed at the creation of short documents, but groff is capable of printing works of any length. In fact, groff is likely the typesetter used in the publication of your favorite O'Reilly title. For tour-de-force examples of groff in action, not to mention some of the best books on UNIX programming ever published, see any of the series by W. Richard Stevens. (The late Dr. Stevens is quoted at the beginning of this article from his colophon to UNIX Network Programming, Volume 2, Prentice-Hall PTR, 1999.) Much like the C programming language born of the same era, groff has an enduring and powerful minimalism that continues to lend itself well to typesetting tasks of all sizes. And if you should hear of reports suggesting groff's demise, just remember, some folks used to make similar claims about UNIX as well!
Wayne Marshall (firstname.lastname@example.com) is a UNIX programmer and technical consultant currently living in Guinea, West Africa. He enjoys traveling, hiking, photography, Africa, strong black tea, popcorn and baking cookies.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

TUCSON - New this school year, there is a special place for students with autism.
Autism is a brain disorder that's impacting more and more families. In fact, 1-in-88 children fall somewhere on spectrum.
And for some of those kids a regular classroom doesn't work due to too much noise and other distractions.
It's why Intermountain Academy has started a program just for them which will serve students Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is operating out of Howenstine High School one of the closed schools in TUSD.
Kymonni Daniels was diagnosed with autism when she was three.
"We thought she was deaf, because she wasn't communicating, she wasn't talking," says Phoebe Daniels, Kymonni's mother.
Traditional classes aren't a good fit. She needs something different.
"There's not much in Tucson. I searched."
So they were exited to find Intermountain Academy. Cyndee Wing is the Education Program Specialist and she tells Kristi's Kids they have a customized approach.
"We have One-on-Ones in our school."
That means one paraprofessional paired to each student which creates a strong relationship.
"They feel the needs of the student really well. Like if the student needs a break, they can give them a break," Wing explains. "When they're ready to come back to work, they can come back to work.
It's common for kids with autism to shy away. They're often excluded in normal settings.
"Social interaction is really important for our students."
The small class size and one-on-one attention helps the students through meltdowns: those unpredictable mood changes associated with autism
"Getting them to play together in an experience like that after the fourth day of school, fifth day of school? Amazing! Amazing! Yes!" says Wing.
It's the ideal environment for Kymonni.
"That's my main concern because I know that, once we get past the behaviors, then she'll be able to actually learn," her mom says.
It is important to note this program is not meant to replace the system, of including kids with special needs in regular schools. It supplements those programs.
"We're all in this to do the best things that we can for children," says Wing.
And good things are already happening. August 1st was the first day at Intermountain.
Kymonni's mom already is seeing progress after the first week of school.
"They've also actually helped her to write the letter K and even say it which she hasn't done that. So that's a first."
She also tells Kristi's Kids Kymonni is a lot happier after school.
Intermountain Academy has room for more and they plan on expanding. Click here for more information.

I'm not actually brewing at home just yet, but I've been using a local U-Brew service instead (West Coast U-Brew)... Kinda nice to have someone else to clean up after you! Anyhow, I've gotten sick and tired of having bottles all over the place. The whole spend-hours-bleaching-your-bottles-out thing has gotten pretty old so the next natural progression is a home draft system! I started looking around online and found that pretty much all the cheap units are just that - cheap. I figured if I was going to end up replacing taps, regulators, lines, temperature controls and everything else anyhow I might as well just build my own! I decided I'd be happy with something that could handle 2 1/4 barrels and the search was on... Well, this popped up on Craigslist at exactly the right time: It's a Silver King commercial under-counter fridge. It's zero-clearance on the top, back and sides so it can be completely sealed in to a countertop or something in the future and it's BEEFY - this thing will survive just about anything. I've got all my lines/draft tower/drip tray/taps/etc on order, but in the meantime I decided to keep my cans cold: You know, gotta make sure the fridge is working properly!! Nice thing with this Silver King is the stock temperature controls seem to be able to take care of getting the liquid temp down where I want it. I haven't done anything to it yet and it's holding quite happily at about 36-38 degrees F. Perfect!! Picked up a hole saw that should be able to handle the stainless so that's been sitting here eagerly waiting. A friend (who owns a bar) gave me this stout tap and the handle too! This thing will hold a regular half barrel, 2 1/4 barrels or 3 cornies no problem along with a 10 lb gas cylinder. Had to get low profile Sankey couplers (my U-brew place can deal with Sankey just fine and has everything there to clean them properly), also got a dual regulator and dual tap tower. I'll update the thread as I get the rest of my bits and get my build done, but this is what I've got so far!
Bryn's Beer Review: http://vancruisers.ca/Members/bhughes/beer-review My Kegerator: http://vancruisers.ca/Members/bhughe...rator-is-alive
Looks pretty slick- gonna do a tower? Multiple taps I'd assume if you're interested in nitro. Edit- op says tower. Gotcha.
Yup, dual tap. For the time being it's going to run straight CO2 with dual pressure regulators - I change up my beer habits and like to fiddle too much to be happy with a single pressure reg. I've got an IPA coming up, but I gotta find myself a 1/4 barrel or two first. There's a local brewery or two that has 'em, just gotta choose what to christen the kegerator with! Right now I'm looking in the general direction of Russel brewing's Cream Ale or something similar. If we were in to the tail end of September or later I'd snap up their porter in a minute, just too warm right now! Trying to decide what to do to try and clean up the stainless on the Silver King. It's a bit ragged - so far I've opened up the back of the fridge and cleaned out the mouse house (it was in a barn when I got it - no sense burning out the compressor!) Cleaning the condensor out actually dropped my power usage by about 10% so far too... Serious bonus! I already did the evaporator when I first opened it up. I've got one of those plug in power meters - I always like to know how much I'm adding to the bill when I get something new.
so you're going to keg in quarter barrels? not a corny fan?
Yeah, I thought about doing cornies and even found a bunch at Princess Auto but a requirement I set for myself was the ability to hook up commercial kegs. My U-brew place transfers to Sankey kegs after filtration too so the ability to pick up my batch and just bring it home with no transfer is a huge plus. Usually though I put 50% in to cans for taking out of the house, so a quarter barrel is the perfect size. In the end I figured it's no big deal to convert later on... The fridge will take 3 cornies plus a 10lb CO2 cylinder quite nicely (or at least it does when I draw everything up!).
OK, so I'm still waiting for my taps/tower and things, but in the meantime I figured I might as well try and clean this thing up a bit! After a whole lot of reading I settled on wet sanding this sucker... I got myself a few different bits and pieces to try and clean it up but the wet/dry sandpaper really seemed to do the trick the best. Here's a "before" pic: ...and after! Coming along great!
That thing is SICK! Stainless always looks so good.
Primary: Edwort's Apfelwein Primary: Brewingcentres Pale Ale Primary: Brewcraft - Cheap 'n' Shiddy Bavarian WheatKegged: Brewcraft - Cheap 'n' Shiddy Bavarian Wheat Kegged: Brewcraft - Enhanced Dutch LagerOn Tap: Brewcraft - Irish Stout
Thanks! I'm really happy with how well that worked... I used an automotive scotch-brite pad in some of the "hard to reach" areas like behind the handle and things too, it worked OK but definitely not as well as the sandpaper. There were a LOT of deep scratches everywhere though...
looking good!
Couldn't help but notice the "PowerFist" brand from PA!!!!

Justin finally lashes out against Mariah on Twitter — and his Beliebers love him for doing it!
Justin Bieber never referred to Mariah Yeater by name during last year's big scandal — the 20-year-old woman accused Justin of fathering her three-month-old son — but now he's finally pulling out the big guns. On April 21, he tweeted: "Dear mariah yeeter [sic]…we have never met…so from the heart i just wanted to say…" followed by a link to a sequence from Borat in which he chants, "You will never get this!"
Justin's fans excitedly tweeted their support of his attack, and he even retweeted one of his most proud Beliebers:
"Today will definitely go down in belieber history," @KidrauhlYolo tweeted. "Justin not only tweeted random ass shit for an hour but tweeted Mariah. Damn I love juju."
We're not sure why Justin decided to tweet this — especially now that no one is even talking about Mariah anymore — but we kind of love that he did.
Watch the Borat clip below, then tell us what YOU thought of Justin's bold tweet:

This was honestly the stupidest thing he could have done. Everyone forgot about it, so why would he bring it up again? Really, now he just looks like a jerk. The case was dropped and I bet this chick has already been harassed for making the claim. Justin didn't need to add to her embarrassment. Not cool.

So valentines day was going great, and then it just spiraled out of control. A guy (who knows im gay) walks up to me and another guy in the locker room and says that he feels sick. We ask why, and he says its because he saw two guys holding hands. HOLDING HANDS! Thats it. The two continued on talking about how sick it was, and i was standing RIGHT THERE!
So I was going to write something about this anyway, but then I read this and decided to do it right this second than later. I thought I wrote about this before, but I can't remember - oh well, it's worth a double mention.
Today was great. I actually did something fun for once. My buddy Luke and I both needed to go to a candy store (Like bulk barrel for example) for our second period class. So since I needed to get a new hoody or two, well, not 'need' so much as want... anyway. I asked him if he wanted to come to the mall with me and Caitlyn. And this was the first time we ever hung out outside of school, so that's why I'm explaining the event of going to the mall with this guy.

BATON ROUGE, LA (NBC33) — Two people died and another is the hospital after an early morning crash on Carey Road.
The East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office reports that the incident occurred at roughly 1:00 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 7. We're told deputies arrived on scene to find a Camaro flipped in the front yard of someone's home. We're told the vehicle flipped for roughly 100 yards before it came to rest in the yard.
EMS pronounced Christopher McCoy, 27, of Baton Rouge and Jonathan Love, 26, of Central, dead at the scene. A third occupant was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries and is expected to recover.
The preliminary investigation reveals that the driver may have been under the influence of alcohol.

Police: Images of children at a BMX park were found in man's bathroom
POSTED: Monday, January 7, 2013 - 12:30pm
UPDATED: Monday, January 7, 2013 - 12:34pm
GRETNA, LA (NBC33) — A 65-year-old man was locked up for allegedly stalking children at a BMX track in Gretna.
The Gretna Police Department reports that several complaints were called in regarding a man known as "Uncle Don," who they say was repeatedly exhibiting unwanted attention to the children at the track. They claim the man was videotaping and photographing the children, then attempted to lure them to his home in New Orleans. Officials say the suspect was also observed caressing a child's hair.
An investigation was launched and the suspect was identified as Don Fernandez. Records indicate that Fernandez was previously arrested back in 1997 by the Harrison County Sheriff's Office in Mississippi for Unlawful Touching of a Child.
Police obtained a search warrant and found images from the BMX track located in his home. They say numerous images of the children were found in his bathroom.
Fernandez was arrested for Stalking and was booked into the Orleans Parish Correctional Center.

Condo Deals Die in Shadows of Financially Distressed Buildings
Posted by Mary Ellen Podmolik
Condo buyers who sat out last year's real estate market, waiting for prices to bottom or their own financial footing to improve, find themselves in an enviable situation.
Prices have plunged, and mortgage interest rates, while slowly rising, remain near 5 percent, creating the best home affordability in decades for consumers who qualify for loans.
There's just one problem. It's not just the borrower who has to be up to snuff, it's the building, too, and in the Chicago area there are plenty of buildings that lenders won't touch.
Among the deal killers: too many renters in a building, pending litigation, inadequate association reserves and delinquent assessments. Those are some of the criteria lenders must look at in order to sell the loan to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the troubled, government-sponsored entities, and the Federal Housing Administration, the first choice for many first-time homebuyers. Combined, the three agencies account for about 90 percent of the secondary loan market.
Real estate agents and lenders say they are seeing more developers, condo associations and individual owners in economic distress, and, as a result, so are buildings.
"Anybody who can't hang on anymore, that stuff is starting to come out," said Eric Rojas, a Prudential Rubloff agent in Chicago. "We have people who want to buy units and sellers who want to sell units, and it's not going to happen."
Added Gail Lissner, a vice president at Appraisal Research Counselors: "Someone told me it's called mortgage jail because you just can't get out. That's a scary problem."
There's no single list to check and no way to quantify the number of buildings in the Chicago area that don't measure up. Rather, real estate agents have learned from experience what buildings to steer buyers clear of, and in other cases they are investigating a building's health before they schedule showings.
Meanwhile, some lenders maintain a frequently updated list of "blackballed" condo buildings, where they know a loan won't get approved. They also are working with homeowner associations to improve their building's lending potential by improving financial reserves and limiting the number of condo units that are turned into rentals.
Several years ago, there was an assumption that every condo building would pass scrutiny, but that's no longer the case, said Jim Linnane, Northeast division sales manager at Wells Fargo Mortgage's retail sales group. Wells Fargo has a dedicated group of employees whose job it is to dig into the financial details of a condo development and work with borrowers and buildings to meet agency guidelines.
The situation is slowing any recovery of the condo market, often the housing of choice for first-time buyers. Owners in troubled buildings aren't able to refinance, and sellers who want or need to sell find thin ranks of buyers. Last year, 42.5 percent of all initial foreclosure filings in the six-county Chicago area were against condos.
The requirements are thwarting the plans of some potential purchasers, who have abandoned their searches and remain renters.
Others continue to pore through real estate listings after finding that the condo they thought was perfect for them isn't so perfect after all.
Two weeks ago, Mario Donini was ready to trade his Buffalo Grove apartment for a two-bedroom, two-bath unit, with a parking space, in Chicago's Lincoln Square area, a unit he couldn't afford when it was first listed last spring. When it came back on the market recently, with a $60,000 price reduction, Donini jumped.
"It was exactly what I was looking for in a place," he said.
Then he and Rojas, his agent, started asking questions and found that three of the seven units, or 43 percent of the building, are non-owner-occupied rentals.
Donini decided to pass on the condo.
"I wasn't comfortable moving into a building that's becoming a rental building," he said. "This is somewhere I want to live for a few years. I'm just worried if this stays as a rental building, it makes it hard for me to get out of there and make back some money or even break even on my investment."
Now, Donini is back in the market but asking about a building's health before he'll agree to see it.
Some lenders will look past a problem in a building and still offer to take the loan and hold it in their own portfolio, but that acceptance comes at a price. The borrower's credit has to be stellar, they have to make a sizeable down payment, and the loan will carry a higher interest rate.
Russell Martin, a loan officer for Perl Mortgage, questions why buyers would want to invest in what he terms "zombie buildings."
"Not only are the banks protecting themselves, but they're protecting the borrower," Martin said. "There's a reason the bank doesn't like that building."
Guidelines differ, depending on the agency and whether the condo is in a new development or an existing building.
For instance, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac require at least 70 percent of the units in a new building to be sold as primary or second homes before it will back a loan. In a lending environment where few lenders are willing to hold mortgages in their own portfolio, it's difficult to get to that percentage without an agency-backed loan. Fannie Mae also requires that established buildings have an owner-occupancy ratio of at least 51 percent; Freddie Mac has no such requirement.
FHA used to offer "spot" loan approvals on individual condo units, but now entire buildings need to be FHA-approved. With its attractive 3.5 percent down-payment requirement, new and existing developments have lined up to apply for that certification, for which they have to reapply every two years.
In Illinois since August, 61 buildings, from three-flats to high-rises, were denied FHA approval for reasons that ranged from outstanding litigation to the use of more than 25 percent of the building for commercial purposes.
Last fall an affiliate of developer Belgravia Group Ltd. acquired a "busted" condo conversion project near Loyola University in Rogers Park. The 20 units acquired have been turned back into rental units, and 18 have been rented, said Belgravia President Alan Lev. Also living in the building are five homeowners whose units would be difficult to sell or refinance, but Lev thinks the existence of renters in a maintained building beats the alternative.

Stick to your budget
April is National Financial Literacy Month — a month devoted to helping all Americans learn more about healthy financial habits. At University of Phoenix, we're committed to responsible student loan borrowing, and that's why our focus this month is on student loans and developing good student loan practices.
You're a college student, and your pockets may be feeling a little empty. You might think it's almost impossible to pay for college without taking out loans. But there are things you can do to minimize borrowing.
First, recognize that student loans mean future student loan payments. If you must take out student loans, create a budget that pays your current bills and needs. Then review that budget to see where you can cut back or reduce. Any savings you create can then be put toward college costs.
To start a budget, you'll want to write down all of your expenses and compare that total to all sources of income. Download this budgeting worksheet to help you budget more effectively. You will need to be logged in to eCampus to access the worksheet.
Extra credit if you take it a step further by tracking your spending for a few weeks to see how you actually spend it. You may find this helps you stick to a budget since you're more aware of where your money goes.

On June 13th, the California Coastal Commission voted 8-to-4 to deny the Pebble Beach Company's plans to cut down 18,000 trees in the Del Monte Forest.
This ended an eight-year battle in which the Pebble Beach Company had tried to circumvent the Coastal Act by taking the vote to the public. In a slick $1 million ad campaign, co-owner Clint Eastwood asked voters to "help save the forest." Failing to mention the fact that so many trees would fall victim to the development scheme, the voters approved the measure. The company also bought local officials and leaned on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to replace two pro-environment commissioners.
The development was extensive, and included putting an equestrian center on a conservation easement. In the end, the company couldn't negotiate - any changes would have to be put before the (now educated) public in another vote. This lock box killed the deal, and after 11 hours of deliberation in which Commission Sara Wan called it "wholesale destruction of the environment," the plan was denied.
Heroes abound in this story - Mark Massara, a surfer and attorney for the Sierra Club, spearheaded the effort to save the forest. Attorney Tom Lippe likewise rocked the vote, while the staff at the Coastal Commission, including Charles Lester and Dan Carl, was forthright and unwavering in their judgment.
On a personal note, as someone born who was born in that forest and is especially sensitive to the aesthetic beauty, I was moved to act on behalf of this fragile ecosystem. Whether developing a simple informational website, organizing a commercial shoot, writing letters to the editor a la Ansel Adams, attending meetings, or speaking at hearings (rather badly at first), I was confident that whatever the outcome, I had done what I could do in my little corner of the world. That in itself is a priceless experience.
Now where's the champagne?

GARDEN CITY, Kan. (AP) -- Pioneering rap artist, author and motivational speaker Chuck D will be the keynote speaker at Garden City Community College's Martin Luther King Jr. Day events.
The Garden City Telegram (http://bit.ly/WsebsF ) reports the Jan. 21 speech is free and open to the public.
Now 52, Chuck D was the co-founder of the rap group Public Enemy from 1987 to 2009. The group toured worldwide, focusing on social justice and political activism, and was chosen last month for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Colin Lamb, co-sponsor of the college's Student Government Association, says the Martin Luther King Day program always features a speaker with ties to the civil rights movement or a motivational message for young people. Lamb predicts Chuck D will connect not only with students but the entire audience.

ok people,
i think i had enough... came here to complain basicly. in the past 3 months, i deposited 432 USD ( might be plus - 20 USD for exchange rate ) so lets say, 400 USD, 133 USD a month. i dont seem to get returns, or even break even for a long time now ( im playing for about 3 years now ). currently, im on the 10k shinkbiba iron challenge, and it seem, well, BAD. i hunt with no armor, using a maxed vivo t-1 to heal myself if needed, and using a maxed opallo for the hunt. yes, i know, its SLOWWWWWWW. but, i dont think you can get more eco then this. on the next 200 ped cycle, i am planning to write down each mob i kill ( shinkbiba/argo , since there are some argo in Amethera outback land #64 ) and will write down here the results. i wish, at least, to get to 85%, which i dont think will happen. |

What's wrong with eco hunting is that it will not lead you to profit or break even anymore but to lower your costs in the hope that you can get the 90% return in the long run. Playing eco for me is about playing smarter than the average person, I like playing as an eco hunter it's a nice pace/challenge for me. What makes being so eco hard is finding the right mobs to hunt. Eventually if your not finding the loot with markup & spending to much on markup. Then eco doesn't really serve a purpose in your plans. So imo there is nothing wrong with eco hunting, you have to keep in mind that it'll not lead to profit, markup will.
1) eco is to essentially lower playing costs. 2) therefore increasing your ability to play for longer. 3) giving you the possibility of finding good markup or nice loot. 4) based on the amount of mobs you were able to kill with your peds. 5) which amounts to vast amounts of grinding 1 mob to do all the above. 6) hopefully leading to a time of self sustainability ingame doing what u like. 7) and ultimately becoming a non depositor like most successfull ppl in EU . Nothing wrong with eco just in how you apply it. If you want reduce your deposits, I suggest a pedcard of 10k to 20k for low-mid level activities, enabling you to collect large stackables to sell for MU. 1 example is having a 200 ped amount of explosive projectiles & selling at 102.5% works great. ~Mark~ |
09-14-2011, 00:14 | #4 | ||||||
your kidding right ? 10k ped ??? thats half of my monthly salary...
before i will do such a deposit, i need to kill my kids and wife, so i could sustain myself. i think you forgot this is only a game. and even if i played it for 3 years and constantly deposited, will leave the game and find a new one way before i will starve to death. there are similar ** NO DEPOSIT ** games that can be played, and i can have almost the same fun that i have in EU ( like wasting 3 hours a day for hunting the same mob.. to complete an insane big IRON MISSION... ). if this game is for rich people, EU should say that on the frontpage and also pop up an alert message everytime the game opens. |
09-14-2011, 03:46 | #6 | ||||||||
It might seem like an arm & a leg to have that much ped but it is what most serious players do. I don't play this as a game, I play it as an investment to myself & avatar. I have deposited alot but I'am still in the black after so much hunting & grinding & I'm really proud of that. My goal is to reach combat sense without ever depositing ever again & I think I can make it, I believe I can do it. Here are some pointers. Opalo+A101 is not really eco, only reason why it maybe considered eco is because you pay no markup on that setup. But there are other weapon configurations that are much more eco in terms of dam/pec that you could be using. The shinkiba iron challenge is about the worst mob in EU to hunt to be able to get a decent return or even break even. Their loot is just crap nothing can be done about that. Have you even read the Alice Entropia Guide yet? How it explains how hunting eco using best dam/pec allows you to kill more mobs than the person using non sib ul weapons & those who don't use finishers? It's pretty basic hunting stuff man. I use p5a+A105 on shinkiba's people might think that is a little overboard but it honestly isn't, it's the most eco pistol you can get at my level, shooting shinkiba's with it will save me a lot of peds vs using opalo, that's something I personally believe. Like I said you don't have to deposit 10000ped in one go. But that kind of ped balance will balance out any loot variance, like it or lump it. I don't think you will leave any time soon since you've been here 3 years, me only 2 years. But if people are not willing to make that sort of financial commitment then that's no problem. Deposit your $50 per month & watch it disappear before the month is over as you progress up the mob ladder. So if your tired of 70% return or less you need to change somethings about how you hunt, because hunting on taxed land to me isn't an eco hunting style. Did you read my tips properly? I said an eco hunter will lower his costs at all costs. Avoiding taxes is one of such costs . ~Mark~ |

@Seventy - i do not use an amp.
@M Rufen Power : Quote:
about the overall deposit, you are right, spreading it over a year does give me the option to sell loot at MU, and that is what im doing. overall in the past 3 years, i have spent around 4k USD, so, im doing exactly as your saying. i do not sell loot to TT, but keep it in storage and sell it on auction as soon as auction fee's and % are covered. Quote:
i actually set down last month, calculated the costs per shot for each gun, comparing the overall ammo/decay costs, opallo has the best results. by best result, well, HL11 for example has even less cost per shot, but on the other hand, it an L item, and the shots are TOO STRONG for the shinkbiba, Too strong = one shots kills the mob, but a lot of ammo is getting wasted ( comparing the health of the mob to the gun damage ). Quote:
about shinkibiba being the worst mob, well, it is right, but only since Daikbiba were changed to Shinkbiba. You are totaly right about hunting on taxed land, but on the other hand, there is no other place with a good spawn of the shinkbiba. after all, i do want to finish the challenge (2k/10k atm). When i did the Argo iron challenge ( next to Twin Peaks ), I was allways breaking even, So it gave me a good push to continue. Quote:
Avoiding taxes... well, i will try that, but MA should really think about creating a better spawn of Shinkbibas then in Cape Corinth. ** EDIT ** after thinking about it, taxes are %3.5 which will not make a big diffrence anyway. **Comment** - i am not a native english speaker, sorry for any misspells, or bad senteces. hope you understand me Last edited by dementic; 09-14-2011 at 08:45. |

Wait, you say you are doing ONLY Daikiba & Argo Iron and burned 400$ during the last 3 months ?
This is indeed bad and when i compare it to my own figures for Argo Iron or my wife's results it was easily obtainable on 10$ depos for my wife and i didn't need to depo at all ( though i did to raise my ped card balance for a purchase ). So either you are very, very unlucky or you do something wrong. Basically it's hard to determine what exactly you might doing wrong because there is info missing: Did you exclusively hunting Shinki/Argo on that budget, or did you any other hunting runs between, or crafting, purchases ... ? The 400$ are really burned and not any forgotten stackables, etc. in storage ? Do you hunt exclusively on taxed land ? Do you TT your loot, or use auction ? Do you try to get the best MU, or serve orders etc... ? Do you use an amp for your Opalo ? ( Which maturities are on that OLA ? ) What are your profession levels (Main Weapon & Defense )? How much TT return(%) equals your loss ? What is the relation between your offensive cost versus defensive cost ( without armor is not always the best bet, nor is the TT-vivo always the best option especially in combat situations ). Without those informations it's hard to give you hints to tweak, however a few points which should already help a bit: avoid taxed land for shinkiba & small argos. They hardly have enough MU drops to justify the tax. Analyze where you exactly lose money, keep an eye on your defense cost. They should never be more than 5% of your total hunting bill ( at least on those mobs ), but try to get it as close as possible to zero. |

Ok, I did the Diakiba/Shinkiba Iron challenge and overall after recycling loot to the TT it cost me around 300 PED for the 16,600 mobs.
First thing I bought was an Opalo, then an A101. I tried this combination and it wasn't eco on Daikibas with returns below 80%. Around 1,600 youngs killed using this combination. Second I tried an Isis cb5(L)+Bull Tac10(L). This was a lot more eco even with the M on the L guns, I bought the amps from AH @ 9.5PED. It looked like the whole thing would cost me around 500-600 PED to complete. So I got an UL CB5. Around 4,000 youngs using this combination retrun > 80%. Third I tried Breer P1a(L)+A101, this was the combination that worked for me giving an average return in excess of 85%. The rest of the Shinkiba Iron challenge completed using this combination. I did runs of 20/40 PED ammo regardless of weapon only shooting the youngs at Cape Corinth. The amped CB5 and P1a(L) appeared to give an average 4 shots to kill a young, maybe a bit better with the P1a. This involved a lot of running around and initially a lot of healing, but as the mission progressed I was able to shoot the youngs continuously without resorting to the Vivo T1. I then did the Merp Iron using the CB5/P1a(L)s as above and a Kesmek Slo(L) approx 5,000 using each weapon and the balance using small MF chips.. Overall that Iron mission @ TT recycling cost me 600 PED. At no time did I get any globals in any of the hunts. I figure if I used a bigger PED buffer and sold loot like the large number of oils/paints/wools with markup I'd have probably done both missions at zero cost or a small profit. I also noticed shooting differing maturities could give larger variations in return percentage compared to sticking to just Youngs. Miss rate on Shinkibas appeared to be 2% higher than Daikibas, returns however did not appear to be affected. 16,600 Daikiba/Shinkiba youngs is probably not a high enough count for some to use statistics on, but the numbers I used enabled me to get the cost of hunting Iron missions down considerably. |

The courses (VFX and Compositing) are delivered online over 38 weeks and are mentored by our world class tutors. Every week you'll get an assignment and feedback so you won't just be left to your own devices, studying alone. The e-Learning platform is socially integrated so you can communicate with fellow students studying along side you as well and being able to switch between Facebook, YouTube and Vimeo whenever you'd like to share your latest creations.
Here are the webinar details, so sign up to reserve your place.

Dancing On Ice star Vanilla Ice has revealed that he dated Madonna when he was a 24-year-old.
She was 33 at the time and Vanilla Ice admitted it was "exciting" to have a relationship with an older woman.
However, he ended the romance when Madonna published her 1992 book Sex, which featured intimate photographs of the pair and images of her with other men.
He told the News of the World: "Going out with Madonna was exciting.
"She was older than me and a great lover. She's still the oldest person I've ever been with, so it was an experience."
He added: "But I broke up with her after she printed that book because I was hurt to be an unwitting part of this slutty package. It was disgusting and cheap. We were in a relationship yet it looked like she was screwing all these other people.
"I thought she was taking pictures and running round naked because she was like that. Then when the book came out I was so embarrassed and ashamed. It was a porno.
"She threw me in like I was a product off a shelf and I didn't appreciate it. That was it and I ended it. She said she didn't have sex with these men but it looked like she was."

Feel free to shoot me down with harsh words if I'm wrong, but I think this GPS unit might well be aimed at the ladies. No, no, hear me out. It's been designed to work straight out of the box and the blurb says "never mind all that techie stuff", which sounds to me like the original draft read "don't you worry your pretty head about all that techie stuff". Plus, it comes in a "lovely little pouch so it doesn't get damaged in your handbag". Oh, and it's pink with butterflies and flowers decorating it. Hot detective work from me there, no?
Not sure how much it is, who makes the GPS technology innards, what maps are included, or who's selling it, but while I try to find out, you try not to worry your pretty heads about it.

The Sierra Nevada in southern Spain is the second highest mountain range in Europe, behind the Alps. The mountain range was glaciated most recently during the Little Ice Age, but evidence of previous glaciation is common in high elevation valleys. This region has been impacted by the Tartessians, Visigoths, Romans, and Moors as well as the modern Spanish nation.
The research is an international collaboration between researchers at Northern Arizona University (R. Scott Anderson and Dr. Gonzalo Jiménez-Moreno), the Universidad de Granada (Dra. Carmen Pérez-Martínez, Dr. Regino Zamora), the Sierra Nevada Natural Park (Dr. Javier Sanchez, Park Director) and the Universidad de Murcia (Dr. Jose Carrión). In August of 2006 the research team took its first sediment cores from high elevation lakes and bogs within the mountain range.

USD 489 might face budget shortfall

By JUDY SHERARD
Final enrollment numbers are in, and the Hays USD 489 budget could come up short.
The full-time equivalent enrollment of 2,830.2 is 90 students fewer than the projected 2,920 FTE, Dean Katt, interim superintendent, reported at Monday's USD 489 board of education work session.
The difference in students results in $546,531 less revenue than the published general fund budget.
The local-option budget revenue, also based on projected enrollment, is $189,377 less than what was published.
Since none of the numbers are final until an audit is made by the Kansas Department of Education, Katt said he's going to ask for an early audit.
"I don't want to make it sound like we're going to have to cut $735,000."
When the budget was prepared by former deputy superintendent Richard Cain, he "probably used about half of what they over-projected."
Katt plans to meet with Cain this week and find out how the budget was built for the year.
After that, Katt said he will suggest options for cuts. Some cuts, such as capital outlay items that were budgeted for but not approved, already have been considered.
Board member Lance Bickle asked what accounted for the difference in numbers.
"I know they had formulas and used these things to project enrollment, and it just didn't happen," Katt said of the enrollment growth.
Board members also discussed the superintendent search. Separate focus groups for teachers, administrators, classified staff and some community members likely will meet with Kansas Association of School Board facilitators in November.
An update from district architect Terry Ault on Victory Road resulted in a request for more cost estimates and an additional meeting with Thomas More Prep-Marian Junior Senior High School officials.
President Greg Schwartz was absent, and vice president Darren Schumacher presided. Danielle Robben also was absent.

BakerTweet is a product developed by Poke London to help busy bakers broadcast their latest hot scrumptious fresh wares to the world. The original project was produced for The Albion Cafe.
The way it works is simple: If you want to send out a tweet about the latest piping hot bloomers, simply spin the dial until it displays 'Bloomers', and press the button. BakerTweet handles the rest! In order to update the tweets and the products, simply log into the content management system, make all the changes you want, and select the Update option on BakerTweet and it will download the latest product list from the server.
Hirsch & Mann worked closely with Poke to develop the next version of this wonderful product – a completely re-engineered version inside and out – resulting in a smaller form factor, more reliable circuitry and extended Wifi range.
BakerTweet 1.5 was shown in the Talk To Me show at MOMA in New York.

"Prima Vista" by Andy Gilmore
Black Math is the name of a new show of work by Andy Gilmore whose kaleidoscopic digital images bring to mind mandalas and spirograph drawings. Gilmore's colourful lines weave together to form circular whirls of movement that seem to hover over their black backgrounds. As a musician as well as an artist, Gilmore is drawn to the physics of sound and acoustics, so it is no surprise that the vibrations and sound waves are reflected in these works.

Black Math opens July 11 at the Pool Gallery in Berlin and runs through August 22, 2009.

Microcapsules loaded with a material that seals cracks
A self-healing protective coating for concrete
By American Chemical Society Chan-Moon Chung, Ph.D. February 20, 2013Comments| Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
Scientists are reporting development of what they describe as the first self-healing protective coating for cracks in concrete, the world's most widely used building material. Their study on the material — which is inexpensive and environmentally friendly — appears in the journal ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
Chan-Moon Chung and colleagues explain that protecting concrete roads, bridges and other structures from developing tiny cracks has been a major technological challenge. Cracks allow water, salt used for deicing and air to enter the concrete. During winter weather, water in the cracks freezes, expands and the cracks get bigger, with road salt speeding concrete's deterioration. "Although several reports of self-healing anticorrosive coatings for metal protection have appeared, there have been no reports on self-healing protective coating for concrete," say the scientists.
They describe development of such a coating, one that contains microcapsules loaded with a material that seals cracks. Cracking ruptures the microcapsules, releasing the healing agent. Sunlight shining onto the concrete activates and solidifies the sealant. "Our self-healing coating is the first example of capsule-type photo-induced self-healing system, and offers the advantages of catalyst-free, environment-friendly, inexpensive, practical healing," the report states.

Balfour Beatty is set to take over the county's highways' management
Monday, December 3, 2012
Civil engineering giant Balfour Beatty is set to take over the management of Suffolk's roads next year.
Next week's county council cabinet meeting is expected to approve awarding the contract to Balfour Beatty Living Places.
The company will be responsible for the design and implementation of highway maintenance and improvement works, winter gritting, street lighting, traffic signals and bridge works throughout the county for at least the next five years.
It will also take over the work currently undertaken by Ipswich council in the borough itself.
The procurement process identified Balfour Beatty Living Places as the contractor best placed to meet the needs of the county council and deliver high quality service to Suffolk residents and visitors.
The county's key objective is to achieve £2m or recurring revenue savings in year 2013-14 and to help the council's transport department achieve efficiency savings of 1.5pc per year.
As well as continuing to providing a highway service, Balfour Beatty Living Places will improve the availability of information about work on the highway, improve Suffolk's environmental performance and contribute to the local economy through use of local companies, commitment to apprenticeships and action to raise skill levels.
Guy McGregor, Suffolk County Council's cabinet member for roads and transport, said: "We are committed to ensuring the best service is delivered to residents, businesses and road users across the county throughout this contract.
"As preferred bidder, Balfour Beatty Living Places is the company which submitted the very best bid both in terms of price and quality. It will provide excellent value for money for the residents of Suffolk."
If the proposals are approved, approximately about 200 Suffolk County Council and Ipswich Borough Council staff will be transferred, under TUPE rules, to Balfour Beatty Living Places in April 2013.

I just made a couple of these. Very easy and quick. Went with brown for the stem since they usually aren't green.
omggggghgggggggggg i freaking love this pumpkin its soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute i just have to make it so i will make many for my family and friends
I suggest doing a needlepoint star a combination of an X and a + in place of the black beads with black yarn and then giving them each a sort of smiley face. I think that would be cuter.
Hi - I am not a crocheter. but I do crochet now and then. I am a charity knitter. I saw this pattern and ended up making 11 of these pumpkins for my physician's little (and younger) patients. When I delivered them, well - all the nurses were thrilled. They were gone in a day, I was told. I did glue black felt faces. It's an easy pattern. If I can make them, anyone can. They weren't as perfect as I don't crochet that well. They were fast to make. They each had their own body shape and face. It was fun to see them all together.
I am confused - do you sew into each sc, ch1 space to increase each row?
@suereitersj 2725884: Unfortunately we do not have the pattern for the smaller pumpkin at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience. -- Editor of FaveCrafts

Just as pictured - very nice, and, anything to help consolidate the baseball collection!!!
My two grandsons needed a way to display baseballs awarded to them during the season. I found this display case and had them shipped to the boys. Their mom reported that the cases were excellent in all respects. The boys put their special baseballs inside right-away and proudly display them in their rooms. Great price for such a nice product.
I would highly recommend this case. Holds up to 4 baseballs and displays your collection perfectly. More durable than the 15 ball case due to being smaller in size.
Great product, great customer service, im very satisfied and pleased with the transaction.

I'm a new starter to researching my family and would be grateful for any information relating to the McMichael family in the Liverpool area. I believe the faimly moved to Liverpool from Scotland in the mid-1800's. There were only 6 McMichael's in the Liverpool telephone directory in the 1970's so while the name is relatively common it wasn't in that area. |

Nine Grunge Songs that Stand the Test of Time
7. Green River - "Queen Bitch"
Green River may be the most eminent Seattle band grunge novices have never heard of. The group holds a special place in grunge history more for the fact that its members went on to become rock stalwarts in other bands -- the band's vocalist/guitarist Mark Arm and guitarist Steve Turner formed Mudhoney, and bassist, Jeff Ament to Pearl Jam -- than its actual musical product. "Queen Bitch," however, is a frolicking number that accentuates the dirty-yet-poppy vibe that populated the Northwest in the early '90s.
6. L7- "Pretend We're Dead."
Chord changes? Who needs chord changed when you have as nifty of a hook as heard on L7's Butch Vig-produced track "Pretend We're Dead."
5. Veruca Salt -"Seether"
This radio-friendly number from Chicago-based quartet Veruca Salt perfects the jagged pop-meets-punk aesthetic. Quick, sharp guitar assaults and sassy saccharine vocals, a great combo to get any party hopping.
4. Blur - "Song 2"
Woohoo! Yes this number from extraordinaire Brit-pop act Blur received much radio love back in the day. But we have to give our Limey boys a nod for venturing into the grunge landscape. Forever proving that grunge is not an entirely American commodity.

Rose Red (German: Rosenrot), or Rose-Red, is a character in the fairy tale Snow-White and Rose-Red, recorded by the Brothers Grimm. She is the sister of Snow-White, not to be confused with Snow White. Of the two, Rose Red is portrayed as the more rambunctious of the two devoted sisters, associated with the summer as Snow-White is with the winter.
The story of Rose Red and Snow-White features evil dwarves and a bear who becomes a prince. Snow-White marries this prince, and Rose Red marries his brother. The story also features a kindly mother who tells the two sisters that they must share between the two of them all that they have. This story is unrelated to the Snow White tale popularized in modern times by the Walt Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
