Hartlepool will run the rule over trialist duo Michael Woods and Cameron Park when a young side take on Spennymoor on Monday night.
Midfielder Woods, 24, has spent most of the summer at Victoria Park but a groin injury has hampered his chances of impressing Pools manager Colin Cooper.
Winger Park, 22, was released by Middlesbrough at the end of last season and has been on trial at Rochdale.

First of all, you'll need to download a brush and a .JPG fleuron pattern for this tutorial. With the Photoshop abstract brushes and flower pattern, we'll be creating a unique flower fleuron text effect. In the first example, we'll be implementing the pattern and adding gradient colours, but in the second example we'll be creating only an embossed effect, but again with the fleuron brush - both examples are extremely flexible, so don't forget to show us what you've created so that we can compare. You'll be surprised what amazing effects you can create with such simple resources, most of which are laying around the internet for free.

Anyway, Boobie McBoothBabe and her friend, Buttz were both representing NCSOFT at the time they were asked to leave the convention. A first time convention, G-Star states that they have the ability to enforce morality through multiple citations, leading to cutting power at the booth for non-compliance. Well, NCSOFT did not defend their hot professional models, but rather blamed the modeling agency, which supplied the outfits, for the outrage.
Hot girls being thrown out of conventions for being too attractive? I barely believe it myself.

denim trends
White Skinny Jeans
In celebration of Memorial Day here in the states, we thought we'd highlight the best, white skinny jeans you could rock in honor of the holiday. The skinny jean trend has been around for a while now and doesn't look like it's going anywhere, any time soon, so you might as well stock up!
Yes, white is a very scary color if you are a messy eater like I am, but as long as you have your tide stick handy and access to some club soda, you'll be good. Pair these white jeans with a pop of color on top, a black tank or a blazer + pop of color combo. For shoes you can wear a nice heel or a cute boat shoe for the casual days. Now on to the good stuff, the white skinny jeans!
Do You Male Readers Prefer Distressed Or Plain Jeans?
I have noticed recently when I am looking online at denim that not many brands actually release distressed and ripped styles for men. Distressing is a huge part of women's jeans, and I remember some years ago that it used to be really popular among the men's denim as well. Brands like Diesel would be over populated with ripped styles and washes like 71J, 73J, 772 etc, which were insanely popular, they were some of the all time favourites.
When I was browsing the Diesel website earlier though, I noticed that there isn't one pair of distressed jeans for men on there… Times have really changed. In fact, when I was looking for a distressed pair of jeans to do the collage above, I had a tough time coming up with one.
My thoughts towards this have varied a lot. I got to thinking that maybe brands see men's denim differently to women's. Men in general are more likely to wear their jeans a lot longer and a lot more than women are and perhaps distressed jeans would just wear out too quickly. Then I thought that maybe men wear their jeans a lot harder and rougher than women do, so will probably end up creating their own holes or putting their foot right through one when pulling the jeans on (I've done this myself).
Then I got to thinking that maybe the times have changed and men just don't like distressed jeans as much as they used to, or the simple fact that designers have changed their way of thinking and have changed the times, even if guys still like the distressing. There are many many things that it could be, but my point to this post was to find out whether or not you guys prefer distressed denim over plain washes? And are you sad that they are really hard to come by now?
I know a lot of the times when I have a gorgeous pair of ripped jeans, either from AG or Rag & Bone, my boyfriend will ask me if the same wash exists for guys and I always have to tell him that unfortunately it doesn't and he's left disappointed. He genuinely loves the washes that Rag & Bone come up with and I agree, they have some beautiful ones, but it's a shame they don't come in men's cuts. I know recently they did release two ripped styles, so I truly hope they make more in the near future!
But brands in general, they definitely seem to have a more plain men's line in comparison to women's. I'm not saying that the non distressed jeans are no good, some of them are incredibly beautiful and look really nice on, it's just that I miss seeing the more ripped styles for guys. I know men love denim just as much as us girls do, sometimes even more, so I would definitely love to get your thoughts on whether or not you would like more inventive styles, just like they do for the ladies? Comment and let me know!
Brokn Legend Denim Hats
Contemporary hat brand Brokn Legend launched its debut Spring/Summer collection on their website. They have two caps made entirely from denim, a light wash and a dark wash. "The Great Escape" collection represents a man's companion in his journey through life; declaring a hat as not just an accessory, but also as an essential.
The designs of Brokn Legend are rough around the edges yet effortlessly stylish to symbolize the individual who wears them. With styles including "The Traveler ($135)," "The Midpoint ($115)," and "The Wildlife ($115)," the collection exudes the freedom that comes along with wearing these tastefully rugged caps. "A man shouldn't have to compromise, and by wearing Brokn Legend you won't have to. Being able to be yourself is the ultimate luxury" says founder, Anthony Capt.
The brand's mission is to provide its customers with the perfect everyday hat. This is achieved by a combination off vintage aesthetics, a classic shape and high quality materials to create an effortlessly stylish look for men that don't want to compromise on quality but still want to look casual. Whether demonstrated in the leather backstraps and underbrims, strategically placed slogans, or simply in the distressed detail throughout, expert craftsmanship and extreme attention to detail is apparent. The patches see on Brokn Legend hats represent souvenirs picked up throughout life's journey, while the high-quality denim used embodies one's favorite pair of jeans kept and worn throughout life.
You can take a look at some of the look book images in the gallery below and also see close up pictures of the denim hats. What do you think guys, will you be wearing these?
Acid Wash Jeans
As summer is pretty much here now, acid wash jeans are a great style to wear during the warmer weather. Many brands often bring out their acid styles around spring/summer and when I see them I always associate the grainy washed out tone with the beach and festivals. I think there is something about acid wash that just says 'I'm casual' and that makes them so easy to wear. They almost look like a really old pair of jeans which are so washed out and stained, you have been living in them for years.

1994 Dodge Stealth R/T Luxury 2dr Coupe
Have had no problems with this car since I have bought it. I've owned it for about 6 months and it has been very dependable. Handling and power is impressive. Turns heads at every corner. Very pleased with performance. Needs few repairs done only because of its age and mileage. Really is a great buy for the money and performance. This style is very rare to see and I am a proud owner. I plan on keeping this car for a long time.

This has been a solid car since it was
new. It's fun to drive, looks good,
and built well. It's got 84,000. Yes,
I paid dearly for the timing belt and
new tires...but it's better than a new
car payment. The driver's leather seat

Here is a brief review of a number of outstanding online resources on prayer.
Catholic Prayersis,
to my knowledge, the largest library of Catholic prayers on the net.
If you are looking for a prayer for a specific occasion this is the
site to investigate. The organiztion of prayers under subject titles
makes it easy to find what you need.
Fr. Victor Hoagland, C.P. guides us in daily
morning and evening prayers.I also recommend his other pages on
prayer: Companion
in Illness; Little
Children Pray (prayers and simple catechesis on prayer for children
from about the ages of 3 to about 6); Meditations
and Prayers for Lent and Easter; ; Prayer
in Particular Circumstances.
Rev. Roger J. Smith, pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in the Archdiocese of Seattle has also produced a noteworthy web site called Art as a source of Christian Meditation. Catechists and Religious Education teachers who are interested in using fine art to help their students meditate (or art teachers who are interested in helping their students pray through art!) will appreciate Father Smith's commentary on a number of masterpieces by great artists. Resources for Catholic Educators also has a large number of links on Prayer. Past Reviews of Online Resources

text: Just thought I'd share with folks a nifty little brew I put together. I started with the Festa Brew West Coast IPA. My idea was to use this starting point to make a hoppy, heavy-bodied low alcohol bitter. On Friday evening, using the supplied Safale US-56 yeast, I made a starter (4 oz powdered amber malt in 1 quart water). This was bubbling away furiously by Saturday noon. Next I harvested half a bushel of hops from my yard. I don't know the variety, they came with the house. They had a spicy, earthy aroma and taste, so I figured they'd be good in a pale ale. I boiled up half of them in about 2 gallons of water for about 1 hour, which produced an excellent tea. Next I ground up about 2 lbs of malt (1/3 pale, 1/3 smoke, 1/3 cara wheat). I brewed this at 165 °F in about 2 gallons water for about ½ hour. This produced a tasty, heavy wort with low convertibility. Next I divided the Festa Brew into two primary fermenters, and added the hop tea and the mini-mash wort in equal portions. I then added 5 quarts of water to each fermenter, which brought the volume to 23L each. I then aerated for a couple of minutes using an aquarium pump, and pitched my yeast. I then put an insulating blanket around each fermenter. Starting gravity was 1.034. Twenty-four hours later the gravity was at 1.024. I had my son taste the beer, and he said it tasted finished. I was deeply impressed by the results, particularly the hops which were assertive, earthy, intriguing, delicious. I now have from one kit enough brew to fill three corny kegs. With the remainder of the hops, I made about 1-1/2 gallons of tea, which I bottled, and will add to my non-alcoholic beers: a few ounces of that stuff makes O'Doul's taste like craft beer.

The Sultan's Pillow Copyright 2013 Bryan Rogers
Illustrations Copyright 2013 Lisa Garr
Available on Amazon!
Every spring the Sultan Kasib and his pillow, named Nahid, would throw the Perennial Patty-Cake Pajama Party. Whereas other sultanates might host a dance or ball, "Hey, look at me! I danced in a circle! Oh look, I just went around again!" The Perennial Patty-Cake Pajama Party was the most smashing of pillow fights!
Kasib would ask everyone over to his palace for the night. All the hotty-toddies and high-to-do's were invited. From she-pharoahs, belly dancers, baristas, palm readers, and cucumbers to kings, ambassadors, shopkeepers, frog princes, and other noble men whose only purpose was to strut around and twirl their canes.
They came to the party in chariot-rides, sporting their most colorful pair of polka dot PJs and fragranting their very best toilet water! Which, because it was called l'eau de toilette in French, they thought it cool to splash water out of the toilet and wear it like perfume.
Everyone brought their favorite pillows with them--pillows of every shape and size! There were square pillows, round pillows, throw pillows, catch pillows, teddy bears seconding-as-a-pillow pillows, pillows boasting superheroes like Sinbad and Ali Baba and the 40 thieves, rubber vanity flatulence pillows--"Oh, that wasn't me! It was my pillow!" Pillows stitched with porcupine quill and swan feather, which was some new kind of sleep acupuncture. Don Juan and His Night of One Thousand Fleecy Fibrillations pillows. A boot. (what? a boot? who invited that guy?) Swedish Swiss massage pillows with a kangaroo inside that really got kicking when you laid down! And bright orange pillows with pull knobs and nozzles that you could fill with air. After all, you never knew when a flotation device could come in handy in a desert. One old lady with more makeup than skin even brought her powder poofer for a pillow!
They would all gather in Kasib's parlor, nibbling on snippets of conversation and those delightful little sausage wieners dipped in barbeque:
"Have you seen the sand this week? I swear it's a new shade of yellow."
"You still live with your mother? Really, at 73? Is that part of the inheritance?"
Then somebody would say something outrageous, "I tell you my hat is bigger than yours! If a giant elephant with big curvy tusks mistook you for a seat cushion and sat on your head, it would still not be as impressive as my hat!"
They would get bopped in the face with a pillow!
And that person would get thwacked on the back!
Then all fluffy feathery fluster of chicken coop broke loose! And pillows and feathers tore through the air!
Kasib would tuck his chin down and put his arms up over his head, bumping and staggering through the lot of 'em. He looked like a sheep piñata bouncing on a string as they swat him silly with pillows--
In the case of one elderly guest, they would simply hold up their pillow so Kasib could run into it. Jumping into the pillow and falling back with a "Wow! You walloped me good! I think you shook a booger loose!"
There were so much fluffies, feathers, and floating fuzzies in the air that it was like a big bag of popcorn had swelled up and Ka-BOOM!! Pillow stuffing all over the place!
Then Kasib's pillow, Strong and Gallant Nahid, would slide to the rescue on a fibery horsehair rug. Swinging her tassels like nunchucks and trumpeting victory, "Toot Ta Loo! Toot Ta Toot Ta LOOOO!!"
And save her cotton-dusted sultan! Bonking anyone who brandished a pillow with a stiff thump on top of the head!

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Europe stock funds back en vogue
Sunday, August 18, 2013
NEW YORK — The world is warming up to Europe again.
— Expectations for a stronger economy. Europe's economy has shrunk for six straight quarters, but economists expect the recession to break this year. Deutsche Bank says growth may have resumed as early as the second quarter. The European Commission will release on Wednesday the first official estimate on Europe's second-quarter economic performance.
Mutual funds that focus only on European stocks are up 27.5 percent over the last 12 months, including dividends, according to Morningstar. That beats the 23.8 percent return for the Standard & Poor's 500 index over the same period. Germany's stock index is close to a record, and the broad MSCI Europe index is near its highest level since 2008.
He's focusing instead on companies that do much of their business within Europe, saying that they offer better values. He owns retailers like Kingfisher, a London-based home-improvement chain, and German retailer Metro, for example. |

Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and defender Kyle Bartley (both hamstring) are out but goalkeeper Michel Vorm has been cleared to play after overcoming illness.
The Swans will test midfielder Pablo Hernandez (hamstring) on Friday.
West Brom will be without several players due to injuries.
Steven Reid (knee), Claudio Yacob (hamstring) and captain Chris Brunt (knee) will all be absent after coming off in last weekend's 3-0 home defeat to Manchester United, with the latter subsequently being ruled out of action for five to six weeks having sustained medial ligament damage.
Diego Lugano was already sidelined with a similar problem - he faces three to four weeks out - and Billy Jones (hamstring) is not yet ready to return.
Striker Nicolas Anelka will begin his five-match suspension after both he and the Football Association declined to appeal against the sanction imposed over his 'quenelle' goal celebration against West Ham.

With a Bachelors and Masters of Science in Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics, Johanna focuses on development issues from the ground up.Her education has been built around understanding the fundamental relationships between agriculture and its ability to permeate all facets of development. Johanna recently defended her Masters of Science thesis in Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Guelph where see explored the effects of non-emergency direct transfer food aid on agricultural production throughout sub-Saharan Africa. Johanna is now working on expanding her knowledge of international public policy, human security, and challenges in policy implementation.
During her undergraduate degree at the University of Florida, Johanna traveled around the world learning how natural resource and agricultural markets function. Studying in a variety of locations as diverse as the coffee fields of Costa Rica, the Rungis Wholesale Market of Paris and the water processing facilities of Ukraine, she has gained a vast knowledge of the challenges we face in development, especially in agriculture and natural resources. During her time in the United States, she spent time in Washington, D.C. lobbying for farmer's rights and meeting with Senators, USDA employees, and other various stakeholders to discuss the future of the agricultural sector. In the summer of 2010, Johanna began working for the Food and Resource Economics department where her duties included engaging students with industry opportunities, recruiting industry representatives to speak in the department, and piloting a study abroad program to Ireland.
From agricultural production to consumer-direct marketing, Johanna has experienced all facets of the agricultural industry. She has extensive leadership training through the University of Florida and has held several key student leadership positions. Johanna spent two years as an Ambassador for the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Florida. During her tenure she flew around the United States representing her college and assisted in cultivating new leaders for the agricultural industry. In addition, she was the President of the Agricultural and Life Science College Council.
Johanna looks forward to growing under the Balsillie and CIGI communities. After graduating from the Masters in International Public Policy program, Johanna hopes to utilize her research and policy skills to persue a career in research and policy implementation.

Toyota Replacement Gas Tanks
For years Toyota has engineered sturdy and durable vehicles that professionals can count on to get the job done. Toyota prides itself on engineering cars that are durable and gas conserving in order to surpass their customers' wishes. Toyota is a well-known producer of reliable vehicles that combine entry-level cost with optional upgrades. For lavish designs at a budget-friendly cost, consumers turn to Toyota to match their car requirements. The Toyota in your carport was made with quality and skill; it should get new replacement or OEM components of a similar high level of quality. Toyota Fuel Tanks are used to store fuel which the car or truck's engine requires to operate appropriately. Your car's Toyota Fuel Tank is a sealed metal storage container that transports your vehicle's fuel supply until it is needed by the engine. The Toyota Fuel Tank is a tank for gasoline normally located at the bottom of the car. Though they might not be crucially important systems such as your car or truck's brakes, the supporting features of your car may be key to having the full use out of the car you direct all that money and energy on. The minor elements of a car, though not critical to the continued operation of your vehicle, are nonetheless items you should maintain in tip-top functioning. Our top-notch aftermarket parts are a good investment for your favorite vehicle. Choosing a Toyota was a good choice, now keeping it in excellent condition is even smarter! If there are any concerns about our accessories, our customer service specialists are available during business hours - with the usual top-notch customer service!
I ordered this tank after I was told by the repair shop that it was going to be upwards of $300 for a new tank. They were skeptical when I told them the price I paid, but when it arrived, they found that it was better than what they would have gotten. The order arrived within 3 business days, so we were on the road quickly.
Thanks Partsgeek!

A collection of used take-out containers and other non-recyclable trash became food for thought in an art display promoting waste reduction, which is currently hanging in the Bioscience Complex. The display, made from trash found on campus, was the result of a collaboration between the Main Campus Residence Council (MCRC), the Society of Graduate and Professional Students (SGPS) and Masters of Environmental Studies (MES) students.
"We wanted to come up with a creative and positive way to get people thinking about ways to reduce the amount of waste they create," says SGPS Sustainability Coordinator Ivana Zelenika."
The SGPS amd MES made simple their message of waste-reduction, using easily-recognizable take-out trash gathered on campus to create a banner spelling out R-E-D-U-C-E. Members of the MCRC Green Team added to the display with sculptures built out of non-recyclable waste, such as electronics, plastics and lightbulbs, collected from the residence halls over a two-week time span.
"Every piece was made out of some form of trash we felt can be minimized or done away with," says Ms Zelenika. "The R in the banner was made of Tim Horton's paraphernalia, E from snack wrappers, D from plastic bottles and cans, U from discarded paper, C from styrofoam and E from electronics and general trash."

HI All,
I am running Widows 7 Home pro and need to install the Resynthesizer pluggin. I followed a link from here: http://www.instantfundas.com/2010/04/how-to-remove-watermark-from-image-... but it says that it is NOT for Windows.
Is there one for Windows please?
The current version of GIMP that I have installed is: 2.6
It also states that I need the smart-script (from Newslily) but the link is dead. (I would appreciate your help there too please, if you'd be so kind)?
Also on one it states the root as: gimp-2.0\lib\gimp\plug-ins\ directory. - I haven't got that, mine is: .gimp-2.6\plug-ins (and I also can't find a READ ME file on exactly what to do). And...
... On the smart-remove it says : gimp-2.0\share\gimp\scripts\ - I haven't got a "share" folder.
In fact I have taken a screeenshot of the folders that I have in my "gimp-2.6" folder:
Your help in all of the above would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,

The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny. As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. But according to investigative reporter Radley Balko, over the last several decades, America's cops have increasingly come to resemble ground troops. The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an otheran enemy.Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unitwhich in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Nixon's War on Drugs, Reagan's War on Poverty, Clinton's COPS program, the post9/11 security state under Bush and Obama: by degrees, each of these innovations expanded and empowered police forces, always at the expense of civil liberties. And these are just four among a slew of reckless programs.In Rise of the Warrior Cop, Balko shows how politicians' ill-considered policies and relentless declarations of war against vague enemies like crime, drugs, and terror have blurred the distinction between cop and soldier. His fascinating, frightening narrative shows how over a generation, a creeping battlefield mentality has isolated and alienated American police officers and put them on a collision course with the values of a free society.

Poor Hamid's religion becomes important after his death. He dies when the cut out of a corrupt politician falls on him. Opportunists discover that once upon a time he was Kishen and with many sheep available to make it an issue, his death spirals a riot in a sleepy town of coastal Maharasthra.
Welcome to the unapologetic satire of Feroz Abbas Khan. It shows a mirror to the socio-political reality that we endure and scythes through the hypocrisy of politicians, media and self-seeking religious leaders.
The comic undercurrent is sharp but not diversionary as Khan makes you feel the tragedy beneath the comedy. His gaze is incisive. When the mourning ladies pack up from Hamid's home the moment the water supply opens, it reflects the double standards we cope with. In between the religious conflict, Khan smartly brings in the caste angle and underlines how the young urban India is unaware of the multiple realties that co-exist in our society. So when the young and well-meaning police officer sells the village as postcard destination to his daughter, the irony hits us hard. When the editor of the local paper discovers that he will no longer decide what the public will read as it is the marketing guy who will sell the news, the bastardisation of values is hard to ignore. The ideologue's ideas remain only in the controversial books. When his colleague dies at his doorstep, he is literally not listening. The politician has a cap for every occasion and the religious leaders of both the saffron and green hues spew venom so that they remain relevant. The haplessness of the judiciary is cleverly spelt out. In between there is a love story brewing between a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl where the two address themselves as parties.
Khan is not generating heroes where there is none. In office, the Muslim journalist is told to do sher-o-shayari when he writes on Tamasha. When he questions, the hate speech of Maulana, he is called an outsider who doesn't understand Islam, somebody who doesn't live in ghettos. Through Riaz, Khan captures the dilemmas of the liberal Muslim, a rarity in the public discourse.
Imaginatively shot, Khan doesn't pull any punches nor does he tone down the sarcasm but in an attempt to balance out things some of the scenes get unduly lengthy. In Satish Kaushik, Sudhir Pandey, Tanvi Azmi and Vinay Jain he has the actors to deliver the punch but at times theatrics creep into the performances as you get an impression that the script was first written for the stage. It could have been avoided with scissors to keep indulgence and anger in check.
Still it is a potent document of the times we live in and should not be missed.
Genre: Satire
Cast: Vinay Jain, Satish Kaushik, Tanvi Azmi, Sudhir Pandey
Plot : When Hamid dies in an accident, his religious identity comes under cloud leading to a riot.
Bottomline: Slightly overwrought in tone but a compelling take on Indian polity that leaves you in disquiet.

Originally posted by Vidir I'm generally not a PvP kind of guy, but that's mostly because of how MMO's tend to impliment it with immersion-breaking FPS holdovers. Stuff like Capture the Flag or Control Points or whatever, all in nice little instances with balanced maps so that each side more or less mirros the other. I'm reserving judgement on TESO for now, but if they avoid that, then I might be interested. |
Originally posted by Kalstark And then theres the people who are just plain cluelees about anything thats going on. Theyre even better! When the game was announced, it sounded like TESO is nothing like TES games, theyre just using the lore. None of the mechanics / features that are the reasons why many people enjoy TES games. The initital reacton by many was: "WTF, its WoW with TES lore, not Skyrim Online. Horrible" But after getting over that initial feeling of them screwing up the IP, and taking a look at some of the other details theyve released, some are starting to realize that while it isnt "Skyrim Online", that doesnt make the game itself bad, and it also isn't just like WOW. Its shaping up to be more like a mix of GW2 and DAOC set in the world of Elder Scrolls. Thats called giving it a 2nd chance and not blowing the game off purely because it wasnt what was expected for TESO. |
Originally posted by kaiser3282 I have yet to see anything, having read/watched every single piece of coverage on this game, that would make me give it another chance. Still hoping though... Regardless, everything that came around after that initial blitz and horrible reaction was marketing spin, trying to backpedal and put out all the fires. During the initial phases they couldn't talk enough about how much like WoW it was, then during E3 every other sentence was "just like single-player TES games." Idk what was more cringeworthy, the abject truth of the initial blitz or the shameless lies of the follow-up. Now they are gearing up, I'm sure, for a third attempt. This will either include new marketing language regarding stuff they've already told us, now spun to make it sound more TES-y, OR they'll actually have something to show, like actual gameplay. Either that or they'll announce its cancellation, hahaha! |
Originally posted by asmkm22 Considering they're basing it off DAoC, it will be nothing like that. |

Originally posted by IIIcurrier Well, I guess it's a good thing that they aren't allied with the "good elves" in TESO then. I'm assuming you mean the altmer when you say "good elves", who aren't all that good if you are familiar with the Elder Scrolls lore. Actually for that matter, in Elder Scrolls, there are no good and bad races, just good and bad people. You know what's fun about chaos? I do, but I won't tell. |
Originally posted by kaiser3282 Sounds like someone doesnt even practice what they preach. Check my sig, plenty of content that is TES stylized. Of course the MMO version isnt going to be a "Skyrim Online" because that would be foolish because many of the elements do not work, or dont do well in the MMO market. From the boring TES combat, zero gear/skill progression and feelancing style gameplay (i.e. putting baskets over NPC's heads to steal their wares, or Killing NPC's that may or may not offer a storyline quest) Theres even a guy here with the a sig showing Ulfric Stormcrow laying dead on the floor. That shit doesnt work in an MMO when hundreds of thousands of players not getting to see content due to douchebaggery behavior. Many of the elements that make TES style games fun have been incorporated into the MMO version with some changes to accomodate online play. Seriously think about it, why hasnt there NEVER been an official TES mod to allow multiplayer? Because it doesnt work. The ONLY thing I am saddened about TESO is the removal of player housing, but they have already stated they would incorporate it into the MMO, just not at release. |
Originally posted by DavisFlight And the best thing about TESO PvP. NO BATTLEGROUNDS! IMO the #1 killer of world PvP in MMO's, PvP or better yet RvR is considered the best form of MMO PvP todate. |
Originally posted by GreenishBlue I have to agree. I personally would prefer a real DaoC 2 and to let Elder scroll game be more Elder scrolls (I would like a version of Daggerfall with other players) but I will still have a good look on the game and give final judgement when I actually see it, not base it on a few things Firor said during development. |
Originally posted by Zylaxx Are you 100% sure of that? I really hope you are right, while I dont mind arenas (which I think actually should be played in an open world arena so we can watch) BGs really kills RvR. But I fear they will wuss out like WAR did and add them anyways. |
Originally posted by Zylaxx Zero gear / skill progression... really? Did you even play the game? - Refining gear to increase stats - Leveling up your crafting to be able to craft better types of gear (starting with Iron, then steel, etc) as well as refine them further - Spending points into your crafting and choosing wether to go with things like Orc vs Glass, etc - Leveling up of skill types (ie: archery, 2h, 1h, destruction, restorarion, etc) increasing their effectiveness. I suppose stuff like leveling up your Pickpocket skill didnt give you better chance of pickpocketing succesfully either. - Spending skill points to improve your skills within the above categories, make them cost less, or add additional effects to them. Clearly certain things, like permanently killing NPCs, wuld not work in an MMO. The combat style has been used already and its proven it can work, they just used the excuse of "technical limitations", which is simply not true. Darkfall, Mortal, Planetside 1 & 2, now War Z, etc. Now. Tell me, what features are they directly taking from TES single player games? Nearly everything known so far is taken directly from other games. The combat system and skill design are nearly identical to GW2, they even use the exact same combo system with Synergies. The RvR is taken from DAoC. The "Finesse" system exists in TES games where? There is nothing that stands out so far and says "This a TES game", aside from the setting / lore. Does that make it a bad game? No Just saying that it is not at all what was expected by most in a TES game. When you play Morrowind, Oblivon, or Skyrim, you KNOW youre playing a TES game. TESO sounds more like it will feel like playing GW2 / DAOC with maybe a mix of some other things int here. |
@OP unless i miseed somthing the game is not even out yet how are you going to give a game thats not out a second shot?

Originally posted by rungard As long as you don't think of the game as Elder Scrolls, there is not reason you can't enjoy it for what it is. Much of the dissapoinment about the game is. People were really wanting an Elder Scrolls game for a long time. To get our hopes up, telling us there is going to be an Elder Scrolls game, then being told, except for lore, it is nothing like what makes the Elders scroll great, is what has people disappointed. It is like bait and switch. We are making an Elder Scrolls game. Yay! Oh one more thing; we are getting rid of everything Elder Scrolls and making it just like DAoC. Huh? (I guess I have just gotten to the acceptance phase) |
Originally posted by Johnie-Marz I have accepted that this is going to be "just another MMO" and am no longer interested in the least, ES name or not. |
Originally posted by DavisFlight I've learned a long time ago not to believe much of anything game dev's claim. When they release it, I'll judge it. |

Originally posted by kaiser3282 if by clueless you mean thought we should wait until we saw some gameplay/got more information than just the fact that we know its an ES MMO, yes, we are clueless, any you my friend, are a b itch, literally b itching about something you have no idea about and are in fact clueless about, ironic |

Originally posted by Bathnor If you have played an MMO before, you know why instancing was "invented". Before instancing, you ran into a dungeon and literally sat in a line to do anything. Or you left because there were 200 people jammed in a cave with 10 things to fight. So while you have a romantic view of the old open world games, they have very severe problems that people like to look back on with rose colored glasses. I remember this distinctly from "Vendo Caverns" in the low level area in Midgard in DAOC. I used to go in, check the line, and ask people to message me if the line got shorter. When you were in a group with a room camped and someone left, you just ran to the entrance to pick up someone waiting in line. Now I think I understand what you meant and agree with the sentiment of stumbling upon strangers and making friends with them (or enemies). I actually think that is what has caused most of the recent WOW clones to fail in my eyes. Newer games are overdone with instanced content. Everything is too sanitary and there are too many "single serving" friends (Fight Club!). You run by, automatically join someone for an area quest, and you never even say so much as "hi" or "bye". Is it really grouping at this point in MMO's? A much less sexier term would be concurrent single player, not really multi-player. The MMO space has basically went from one extreme to the other. I'd rather see a middle ground where there is only 1 "instance" for a dungeon that is designed for 10 players. When an 11th solo player or group joins that would push the area past 10 players, spin up another copy. Seperate the chat channels so no one breaks immersion by realizing there is an alternate space out there. So I think instancing has a purpose and we need to be mindful of what it is. I do think it is overused today as a "positive feature" rather than what it is, a work around for the platforms limitations. |

At the same time, EPA officials and environmentalists note the worrisome release of persistent bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals (PBTs), which increased by 50 million pounds or 11 percent in the latest reporting year. These include dioxins, mercury, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
"PBT chemicals are of particular concern," reports the EPA, "not only because they are toxic, but also because they remain in the environment for long periods of time and are not readily destroyed (they persist) and build up or accumulate in body tissues (they bioaccumulate)."
In 2003, for example, mercury and mercury-compound releases jumped 41 percent. Mercury is a highly toxic substance that can poison wildlife and cause brain and nervous-system damage in children and fetuses. Unlike most other pollutants, mercury tends to concentrate in dangerous "hot spots."
"Although it is good news that overall releases are back on track, it is a major concern that some of the most hazardous chemicals have increased so dramatically," says Meghan Purvis, an environmental health specialist with US Public Interest Research Group in Washington.
Meanwhile, according to the watchdog group Environmental Integrity Project, the 50 dirtiest among the nation's 359 largest power plants generate as little as 14 percent of the electric power but account for a disproportionately large share of pollution emissions: up to 50 percent of sulfur dioxide emissions, 42 percent of mercury, 40 percent of nitrogen oxides, and 35 percent of carbon dioxide.
"A huge share of these emissions comes from a handful of unnecessarily dirty power plants that have not yet installed modern pollution controls, or which operate inefficiently," says Eric Schaeffer, director of the Environmental Integrity Project and the EPA's former chief of regulatory enforcement.

Apple Stock Is Dead; Sell It on a Bounce
Last week, in 3 Stocks to Sell If They Crash on Earnings, I urged caution ahead of Apple's report, in part because of the iPhone transition, however, I added:
But strong sales of reiterations of existing product lines only tell part of the story. If iTV does not knock the public's socks off, it will plant the seed that Apple's future might not be so bright. And at day's end, isn't that the reason why AAPL has stagnated? There are concerns about the company's ability to out-innovate going forward.
Simply put, AAPL bulls, for months, have underestimated the loss of Steve Jobs. I know they're sick of hearing that, but it's the elephant in the room. It has been for some time. That became apparent when Tim Cook caved on the dividend and rumors began to swirl that Apple might, against Jobs's better judgment, release a mini version of iPad.
Consider the trend here. Don't discount it. Don't ignore it. While still superior to the competition, the gap between Apple and everybody else continues to close in the Tim Cook era.
Cook Isn't Jobs
Under Steve Jobs, Apple did not play by the rules that govern everybody else. It should scare AAPL bulls that, all of a sudden, China -- which, just three months ago, was supposed to be the clear difference maker according to so many -- contributed to a weak Q3 and expectations of a soft Q4. Are the Chinese sitting back and just waiting for iPhone 5? Please.
Macro pressures that Apple once skirted now hurt them enough to produce an earnings miss of epic proportion. And let's be clear, these macro (and company-specific) issues are real; it's just that, for quite some time now, Apple has been above it all. As a few analysts said after yesterday's report, "Apple is no longer immune" to macro headwinds. For the record, I have never and would never argue that Apple the company will die. Instead, Cook will lead them from greatness to something else. That something else could very well be better than what the competition puts forth. With the exception of Microsoft's (MSFT - Get Report) forthcoming Windows 8-related offerings, there's not much out there in the way of formidable competition. And, for Microsoft to perform better than slightly above average, Steve Ballmer needs to keep his foot out of his mouth and his head down. His history proves that that's a tall order. But the uncertainty that surrounds Apple competition -- or lack thereof -- will not save AAPL from falling. It's key to separate the company from the stock here. Apple, the company, set a bar for its stock that could very well have been too high.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

text: Judge overturns North Dakota law banning most abortionsBy Carma Hassan and Dana Ford, CNN Updated 8:26 AM ET, Thu April 17, 2014Just Watched'Heartbeat' abortion ban struck down replayMore Videos ...'Heartbeat' abortion ban struck down 01:21Story highlightsAbortion was legalized in all 50 states in 1973 by the U.S. Supreme CourtThe North Dakota law would ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected It was signed into law by the state's governor last yearThe ban "cannot withstand a constitutional challenge," a judge writesA federal judge ruled Wednesday that North Dakota's abortion law, considered one of the most restrictive in the nation, is unconstitutional.The law banned most abortions after six weeks, when a fetal heartbeat can be first detected."The North Dakota strict ban on abortions at the time when a 'heartbeat' has been detected -- essentially banning all abortions as early as six weeks of pregnancy -- cannot withstand a constitutional challenge," U.S. District Judge Daniel L. Hovland wrote in his decision."A woman's constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy before viability has been recognized by the United States Supreme Court for more than 40 years. The United States Supreme Court has clearly determined the dispositive issue presented in this lawsuit. This court is not free to impose its own view of the law."The law, thought to be the nation's toughest anti-abortion measure, was signed by the state's governor last year."Although the likelihood of this measure surviving a court challenge remains in question, this bill is nevertheless a legitimate attempt by a state legislature to discover the boundaries of Roe v. Wade," Gov. Jack Dalrymple said then.He called the constitutionality of the law "an open question," saying the Supreme Court has never considered the "precise restriction" of the fetal heartbeat aspect.The governor was not immediately available to comment on Wednesday's decision.The Center for Reproductive Rights cheered the ruling."The court was correct to call this law exactly what it is: a blatant violation of the constitutional guarantees afforded to all women. But women should not be forced to go to court, year after year in state after state, to protect their constitutional rights."We hope today's decision, along with the long line of decisions striking down these attempts to choke off access to safe and legal abortion services in the U.S., sends a strong message to politicians across the country that our rights cannot be legislated away," said Nancy Northup, that group's president and CEO.The ruling was also praised by the director of the Red River Women's Clinic, the only clinic providing abortions in North Dakota. "The decision is a sigh of relief for us and the women we serve. It's not a surprise. We fully expected the decision to go our way but it's always nice when it finally happens," said Tammi Kromenaker.Abortion was legalized in all 50 states in 1973 by the U.S. Supreme Court. Statutory time limits on when abortions can take place, however, vary from state to state.Under Roe v. Wade, abortions are generally permitted until the fetus is considered viable, or able to live outside the womb. Some states have no time limit, while others allow abortion up to the end of the second trimester, about 27 or 28 weeks into the pregnancy.More from usRichardson: Reunification may have motivated attackFerguson resident: My car was stolen by Ferguson policeVirginia teen accused of being ISIS recruiterPowered by Livefyre

One of N.H.'s most elite state police officers to be honored at memorial service
Wednesday, October 2, 2013
DEERFIELD — A 27-year veteran of New Hampshire State Police and one of its most elite officers, will be honored this weekend at a memorial service here.
In 1965 following the Labor Day riot at Hampton Beach that nearly destroyed the beachfront, Gov. John W. King ordered State Police Col. Joseph L. Regan to form an elite unit of his top 20 troopers to take up fulltime residence at Hampton Beach to restore order and eliminate undesirable elements. Cray served three years with that unit until it was disbanded. In 1968, he was one of five troopers selected for a unit assigned to participate in the inaugural parade of President Richard Nixon, leading New Hampshire parade entrants.
Major Cray retired in August 1987 after 27 years of dedicated service. A spokesperson said he was "widely known in law enforcement circles in both the state and regionally through his involvement with New England State Police Administrators Compact (NESPAC) and was respected for always doing the right thing, in the right way, at the right time." |

Finally a Perfect Balance of Tone
June 29, 2014
I've been experimenting with different strings on my Martin for a couple months. I love the feel and projection of Elixirs, but find them too bright on my Martin. Especially when plugged in, it completely changes the warm, Martin tone into a wanna be Taylor tone. I loved the warmth of D'addario EXP's, but found the tone to die off very quickly and become too muddy. These Lifespans are the perfect blend of both. They feel great and are smooth on your fingers and have a very warm tone, but also have a nice brightness that itsn't overpowering. These strings give my Martin a growling bass with crisp highs. Awesome tone. After a couple weeks of continuous play they still have their new string tone and you can't see any dirt or grime build up. It's easy to say that I have found my strings and will no longer try anything different.
Pros:-Fair price -Balanced tone -Ease of play -Retains new string tone over timeCons:-Packaging of the strings |

solid strings
June 28, 2014
For most folks who play phosphor bronze strings, you'll likely land in either this camp, or the Elixir one. The tone and feel of these is much more like what you'd expect from a standard, non-coated string, but with that Martin flavor. That said, I'm more of an 80/20 guy, and the Martin Lifespan 80/20s are my current favorites for their deeper, woodier tone. For phosphor bronze, I still prefer the sound of Elixirs because they squeak significantly less, and they do last a long time, but many won't like that slippery feel, and for those folks, these Martins would be a great choice! Also, it's worth noting that I also prefer the 54 low e Martin uses vs the 53 Elixir uses.

I have been using these strings since 2011 when visiting the Martin factory These strings were put on my guitar during a string change. I have used these strings exclusively since. I had used some other brands of strings looking for the tone I wanted from my guitar. I have been pleased to no end with these strings.
Pros:Last a long time I love the toneCons:None |

SP Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Coated Strings
December 28, 2011
I've purchased five sets of these now for my Martin SWD and I can not recommend these. Initially they are a bit 'brighter' than the SP Marquis Phosphor Bronze that I have been using, but the Lifespan's bass strings do not have the warmth and resonance of the SP Marquis. And the brightness and force of the Lifespans fade quickly as does the string luster. I actually feel that the old SP+ held up longer than the Lifespans, but overall, coated strings do not give you the balance and warmth that the Martin Guitars are noted for. I've tried even major string maker over the past 40 years of playing and the Martin SP's are the best buy for the money; the SP Marquis are my favorite and beat all the rest for the money; you can get three sets for the price of a coated string and they mellow out with nicely as they age. Stay with the SP Marquis and skip the coated strings.

Martin SP Lifespan
December 6, 2011
As coated strings go... these are the best I have tried. I cannot tell they are coated. Very clear tones. They made me fall in love, again, with my 00-28 Martin. Purchased last week, so the longevity is TBD.
Defiinitely bettter than the D'Addario 'extended life' and Elixer Nanoweb strings.

Good but not great
September 21, 2010
If you don't like the feel of other coated strings, but you want the longevity of coated strings-then these are for you. These strings do not feel slick like other coated strings, and they sound warm to me as opposed to overly bright. To me, they're good but not great-I think I will stick with Elixir Phosphors as they sound better to me.

Lifespan PB lights
September 18, 2010
I've always been a fan of standard SP's but not so much the SP+'s. They didn't have a smooth feel to me. Thankfully the Lifespan's are a big improvement there. They look and sound like standard SP's but feel very smooth. Since I've only used them for a couple of weeks I can't speak to longevity yet but so far I'd put them in the win column.
Fast shipment, nice strings........thanks ... read more

They have passed in the past. Just for kicks, I will create a BDB repo and play around with some commits and such. More to follow. I still feel it is safe to update the book with the new version. Especially if we place a note that there is a *possible* issue with current versions of BDB. I would like opinions on this.

The finding that chewing gum can moderate stress and mood changes following a multi-task cognitive stressor (Scholey, Haskell, Robertson, Kennedy, Milne, and Wetherell, 2009) was re-examined. In a repeated measures cross-over design, thirty participants completed a 20-minute multi-tasking stressor on consecutive days, both with and without chewing gum. Both prior to and post stressor, participants provided salivary cortisol samples and self-rated measures of stress, state anxiety, calmness, contentedness, and alertness. Contrary to Scholey et al. (2009), chewing gum failed to attenuate both salivary cortisol levels and the increase in self-rated stress. Self-rated anxiety, calmness, and contentedness were not impacted by chewing gum. This suggests that the stress effects reported by Scholey et al. may be constrained by particular features of that study (e.g. morning testing). However, consistent with Scholey et al. (2009), chewing gum was shown to increase alertness following the stressor. The mechanisms underpinning heightened alertness are unclear; however, such increases may be linked to greater cerebral activity following the chewing of gum (Fang Li, Lu, Gong, and Yew, 2005).
