Some wags at county hall have dubbed the gun-shaped, imagined city Miriamville. Others prefer Alonsoland. Its official name is West Dade.
The jokes refer to District 12 Commissioner Miriam Alonso, who lives within West Dade's proposed boundaries and represents the area. Alonso officially launched the incorporation process for West Dade this past July, just around the time rumors began to circulate (later confirmed) that she was under investigation by the public-corruption unit of the Miami-Dade Police Department. Those who oppose the incorporation believe it is nothing less than an effort by Alonso to provide a political future for herself, or a proxy, should she be forced from her commission seat by prosecutors. (Phone calls as well as faxed and e-mailed questions requesting comment went unanswered by Commissioner Alonso.) "This is it for her. She's facing possible corruption charges, and if she loses this, she loses everything," declared Sweetwater Mayor José Diaz. "This woman is trying to take away all of our futures for her own greed."
Diaz was speaking from Sweetwater City Hall on November 27, just after 10:00 p.m. Less than three hours earlier, the mayor and all seven of Sweetwater's commissioners were verbally attacked and physically jostled at a public meeting organized by Alonso, who claimed to have called the gathering on behalf of concerned residents to discuss a county commission resolution being sponsored by Commissioner Javier Souto. The resolution would instruct county staff to conduct two simultaneous studies: Examine Sweetwater's long-held desire to annex the Dolphin Mall area, and review the proposed City of West Dade's claim to the same property.
The Alonso gathering took place at Belén Jesuit Preparatory School, which sits in District 11, not Alonso's District 12. Joe Martinez is the county commissioner for District 11, and though he was not invited to the meeting, he attended anyway. Reached by telephone the next day, he characterized the evening as "an embarrassment." Said Martinez: "I apologize to the people of Miami-Dade County for what happened."
Martinez only learned of Alonso's meeting because a confused constituent contacted him about a flyer she had received. It was printed on Commissioner Alonso's official stationery. Written in English and Spanish, the leaflet warned of Souto's effort to "annex vital areas of our neighborhood to the City of Sweetwater."
The day before the meeting, Martinez wrote Alonso a note indicating he would attend. "I will be present and available to answer any questions pertaining to my district," he offered diplomatically.
Nearly a half-hour before Alonso's 7:30 p.m. meeting began, the second-floor Belén auditorium was already three-quarters full of anti-annexation protesters bearing Day-Glo poster board placards. By the appointed hour the room was packed with several hundred people. At least a hundred more spilled into the hallway. The mood was ugly -- and no wonder. For nearly two hours the audience was subjected to repeated efforts by Alonso to scare them: If Sweetwater succeeded in annexing their neighborhoods, taxes would go up and property values would go down.
"We don't want Sweetwater!" chanted Yvonne Gibbings, goading the incensed crowd from the stage, where she clutched a bright orange sign featuring an anti-annexation message. Gibbings is among the people Alonso has tapped to fill the West Dade Municipal Advisory Committee (West Dade MAC), created by the county commission at Alonso's behest to begin the process of studying incorporation. Also present and inciting the crowd were Alonso's husband, Leonel; her chief of staff Elba Morales; and Luis Rodriguez, another member of the West Dade MAC.
Municipal advisory committees have become an integral part of an emerging county policy that eventually will likely result in Miami-Dade's complete incorporation into municipalities. The push toward incorporation began with Key Biscayne in 1991. Through fits and starts, including a one-year moratorium in 1996 and several lawsuits by residents who wanted to incorporate, commissioners, under the guidance of former County Manager Merrett Stierheim, fashioned a makeshift policy on how municipalities should be created. Under the plan new cities must remain within the county's fire-rescue district and its public library and solid-waste-collection systems, and must continue to receive law-enforcement services from the Miami-Dade Police Department. They also need to prove they are revenue-neutral and thus won't financially penalize areas left unincorporated. Otherwise they must pay a "mitigation fee" to a county trust fund.
Following Key Biscayne's successful incorporation, the neighborhoods of Doral, Country Club Lakes, Palmetto Bay, Miami Lakes, Aventura, Pinecrest, Sunny Isles Beach, Destiny, East and West Kendall, the Redland, and Westchester expressed a desire to become autonomous cities. Of those areas Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Pinecrest, and most recently Miami Lakes have actually incorporated. (Last month the county commission allowed Palmetto Bay in South Miami-Dade to proceed with a vote by residents to see if they want to incorporate.) In 1999 the county created the Miami Lakes Municipal Advisory Committee, the first MAC under the new model, composed of area residents and appointed by the commissioner in whose district the incorporation would take place. MACs currently exist for West Dade, West Kendall, Doral, Redland, and Country Club Lakes.

8:30 PM ET, February 25, 2013
United Center, Chicago, Illinois
CHICAGO -- Marian Hossa skated along the boards, pumping his right arm as the United Center roared its approval.
Go ahead and give two more points to the streaking Chicago Blackhawks.
Hossa scored 1:44 into overtime and the Blackhawks beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 on Monday night to stretch their NHL-record opening points streak to 19 games.
Powers: Blackhawks Keep Finding Ways
The Blackhawks trailed twice and were playing their third game in four days, but once again found a way to win, Scott Powers writes. Blog
Patrick Sharp set up the winning goal with a quick turn along the boards and a drive to the goal that led to two stops by Nikolai Khabibulin. Hossa picked up the second rebound and was again stuffed by Khabibulin before he poked it in for his ninth goal of the season.
"It is a great feeling, obviously," Hossa said. "It doesn't matter who's scoring and lately we have a lot of different guys scoring. We try to enjoy the streak, keep playing a simple game and try to find a way to win."
Patrick Kane and Viktor Stalberg also scored for Chicago (16-0-3), which has won six straight and nine of 10. Ray Emery made 17 saves to remain unbeaten in eight starts this season.
The Blackhawks have earned 35 of 38 possible points so far this season.
"It was a great third period," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "We had the puck in overtime, too. Great play by Sharpie going to the net, great patience and presence with Hossa to finish."
Nail Yakupov and Jeff Petry had the goals for Edmonton, which carried a 2-1 lead into the third period but couldn't hold on for its fourth consecutive victory over the Blackhawks. Khabibulin had 31 stops in the opener of the Oilers' franchise-record, nine-game road trip.
"Of course you feel pain, having the lead going into the third period," Edmonton coach Ralph Krueger said. "It's definitely something you dream and believe you can close it. But they are an amazingly powerful team. They are very strong on the puck and they never, never let up, at all."
Edmonton grabbed the lead for the last time in the second, taking advantage when Brandon Saad was sent off for high sticking. Yakupov, the No. 1 overall pick in last year's draft, one-timed a pass from Sam Gagner into the right side of the net at 14:17 for his fourth power-play goal and sixth overall.
Chicago looked listless for much of the second, but rebounded quickly in the third. Michal Rozsival was behind the net when he sent a pass in front to Stalberg, who poked the puck into the mouth of the goal as Khabibulin went to his knees to try for the stop.
The call on the ice was no goal, but replays showed the puck crossed the line before Khabibulin could make the play and Stalberg was awarded his fifth goal of the season after a short review.
The pace picked up after the tying goal, and each team had a couple of solid chances to move in front. Yakupov shot off the post on one power-play opportunity, and Khabibulin stopped Hossa on a short-handed chance.
"I think for us it would have been a big statement game if we were able to break the streak," Gagner said. "But at the same time, once we didn't do that, we wanted to find a way to get it in overtime and were unable to do that as well. So it was unfortunate we kind of squandered the lead there."
Edmonton moved in front in the first period after Duncan Keith lost his footing and coughed up the puck deep in Chicago's end. Lennart Petrell picked it up and skated in all alone on Emery, who stopped his backhand attempt. The rebound went out to Petry, who sent it over the prone goalie at 4:28.
Just over a minute later, Kane skated to the middle of the ice and beat Khabibulin with a slick backhander for his 10th goal of the season. It was his first goal since Feb. 10 at Nashville, ending a six-game drought.
"We keep finding ways to win," said Sharp, who picked up his 400th career point on the assist in overtime. "That's important at any time of the year. Those one-goal games, we're on the right side of them. We were thankful to pull it out today."
Game notes

just want to get opinions on the following pep cycle, I know in general the higher dose is going to be better, but wanting to know if the lower dose is too low, or if there wont be much difference in the long run
either 40 or 60 mcg igf des pre wkout Mon-Fri
either 100 or 150 mcg mgf post wkout Mon-Fri
either 2 times per day 100/100 modgrf/ghrp-2 or use it 3 times per day, that is every day
I always prefer conservative doses, just for safety and money, I am just doing this for fun and I am almost 40 so safety and health are very important, another reason why I am looking at peps as I think they provide good health as well as enhancement. having said that, I dont like to waste money and realize that there is a dosage where really nothing is going to happen, so want to know if the lower dosed protocal is worth it. I know that running the higher dose would be better.
thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

A lost year for Atlanta pro sports.....Falcons injuries lead to awful year.....ditto for the Hawks...and now the Braves appear to have pitching injuries that will destroy their playoff hopes.
The Hawks are flying under the radar and will finish seventh or eighth in the East. Their reward? Indiana or Miami in the first round. Bye bye Hawks.
Thanks to Medlen and Beachy for a brief glimpse of how good they might have been.

Tech has one of their alumni coaching a team in the Big Dance....Craig Neal at New Mexico. They should be talking with him now about coming back to coach on the Flats.
People are complaining about Hudson leaving for more money and showing "no loyalty," yet everyone is happy for McCann. I for one am glad to see McCann on another team but I'd like to have Hudson back.
Don't sleep on the possibility of Mercer beating Duke. It could happen.
Those four UGA players will get their punishment in due time. I'm sure they already feel embarrassed after having their mug shots plastered all over the internet.
I'm sure most venters agree with me when I say that it's time for Tech to rehire Hewitt.

Definition of oil palm in English:
A widely cultivated tropical West African palm tree that is the chief source of palm oil.
- Elaeis guineensis, family Palmae: several cultivars
Example sentences
- The minority view is supported by the fact that almost all the coconut palm's relations are American, the one important exception being the oil palm, which is African.
- Popular drinks include palm wine, made from the fermented sap of the oil palm, and home-brewed millet beer.
- Undoubtedly because of its multifunctionality, the oil palm and its bunches of palm nuts are a recurring feature in Akan royal arts.

Pack of 2 mini boosters available in bamboo or microfiber; fit all itti bitti diapers
A clever feature of the bitti nappies is the ability to add an extra microfibre or bamboo mini booster to the nappy to increase absorbency for extra heavy wetters, or for extended wear. These snap on boosters stay in place through the wash, so no need to fiddle around with extra pieces.
They can also be attached with just one snap and folded in half to the front for even more absorbency for boys and tummy sleepers, even with just one snap attached, they usually stay put during the wash.
They feature the itti bitti colour coded snaps for easy reassembly, should you wish to remove the boosters during the wash or on the off chance it does come off.
Adding a snap on mini booster does add a little bulk to the crotch, but the nappies still remain very trim. It is worth it for the extra absorbency - the mini boosters have been tested on the heaviest wetters we could find, with fantastic success.

How to Pay for a Free, Non-Racist Higher Education
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Corinthian Colleges is going out of business, and other for-profit rip-offs will follow. However, "The very existence of Corinthian, Phoenix, Ashford and the other gangster institutions proves beyond doubt that the vast bulk of the existing U.S. educational establishment is not serving" Black and poor people. Yes, America needs free higher education, but the excluded classes also need a new system that is not hostile to their very presence.
Justice in New Orleans?: The Real Crimes of Former Mayor Ray Nagin and the Entire Ruling Class
by Jay Arena
Ray Nagin, who first ran for mayor as the candidate of business, cops and whites, was only convicted of "the least of his crimes." The corporate-run, bipartisan gang that pillaged New Orleans ranged from President Obama to Governor Jindal to Melissa Harris Perry, and every high-living lowlife in between.

There is one point here which should be profoundly understood, and it is this: one who pleads to be led towards the right path is making no ordinary plea; it is extraordinary, because the plea itself is the basis of the help one needs to proceed towards the right path. This plea is extraordinary because our every intention, our every passion, our every desire, leads us to the wrong path - there is no need to pray, to plead for it. Nature has given us sufficient means for that; nature itself leads us there. If you want to go down, to degrade yourself, you need no prayer to help you. If you want to go towards darkness, nature is already helping you. Your own actions lead you to that path. Your own habits and past impressions are already leading you towards it. It is interesting to note that nobody has ever prayed to God to lead him to an unrighteous path. Here God is not required; man himself is strong and capable enough to go astray. There is no need of God's help in doing so. On the contrary, man has the capacity to lead God onto an unrighteous path!
The madness is that it is the unrighteous path which is full of dangers, yet no one prays for God's help to take it. It should be done thus: "O God, please help me along the unrighteous path, for it is full of dangers!" To walk this path is to enter into much suffering and misery and madness. It is inviting troubles to overwhelm us. In such circumstances God's help should be sought, but no one seeks it because everybody thinks he is capable enough to meet the challenge. Man is strong enough to follow an unrighteous path, but when the question of traveling the right path comes up, he suddenly finds he is unable to do so!
The reason for man's weakness is that all his desires and passions draw him downwards, and there is no such passion endowed by nature to lift him upwards. If he does nothing and stands still, he will automatically slip downwards, sliding and stumbling in his descent. The gravitational force of nature is enough to draw him down, and with every step he will think of going lower and lower. The whole life force will urge him downwards more and more. He imagines there is happiness down below, and if he meets with unhappiness in his efforts, he argues, "It is because I have not gone far enough."
When the so-called honest people meet me they tell me, "Have you seen how happy the dishonest people are becoming in this world?" I call such people so-called honest people because they cannot remain honest for long, since they see happiness in dishonesty. They cannot be honest from the depths of their hearts, and if they appear honest it is out of fear. To be dishonest requires courage and daring. They are weak and cowardly; they dare not practice dishonesty or treachery. But their belief that the treacherous are becoming happy and prosperous reveals the truth - the voice of their desires is warning them that they are making a mistake in being honest.
From within also, nature urges you to go down and down. Why? - because in descending you become more and more a part of nature. By the same token, as you rise higher and higher you go beyond nature. It is easy for nature to persuade you to descend still further because there is much rest there, and if you become like a stone there is complete rest. "Go down, leave aside your consciousness," say your desires and passions. "Give up consciousness; it is the cause of your unhappiness, so remain in a trance - in unconsciousness." That is why man takes to drink, to intoxicating drugs and a thousand other such tricks - so that he can descend easily and remain as if in a trance. There is a whole system of arrangements to help you to descend, but there is none to help you go up. And there is no bliss, no peace, without rising upwards.

Hi All,
These forums were a nice find! I was actually looking for a holster solution for my pocket piece when Google led me here!
Let's see ...I've had a CCW permit for a long time now, both in Oregon when I lived there, and now have a Utah one (since you don't have to be a resident and it lets you carry in 30 or so other states.) Now that I've moved back to Alaska however, our anti-terrorism bill has been passed and every Alaskan resident is hereby legalized in carrying concealed (and non-concealed) weapons. We still have a CCW permit, but it's only use now is in the skipping of the instant check phone call ...you still have to fill out the yellow form.
See you 'round the shop!

Suicide prevention comes in all forms and formats. And why not comic book form, to reach kids and teens who digest comic books as easily as some digest video games?
Enter Captain America from Marvel comics.
I don't see how anything like this could possibly hurt. Appealing to those who are suicidal in every form possible and in every type of media just makes sense. I liked the short story — it told a story of hope in just 12 pages. Because suicide is primarily about hopelessness — about running out of the resources needed to cope.
The 11-page story "Captain America: A Little Help" is written by psychologist Tim Ursiny and illustrated by Nick Dragotta.
In it, a despondent youth is poised to jump off a building when he spies Captain America facing a bevy of villains on a nearby roof. The fracas keeps him from going over the edge, literally and figuratively.
There is no dialogue, save for the end, which ends with the boy saving both the hero and, in the process, himself.

Rich Homie Quan Feat. Problem "Walk Thru" Video
Rich Homie Quan and Problem provide the visuals for "Walk Thru".
Many wrote Rich Homie Quan off as a one-hit wonder after "Type Of Way" blew up, but when he followed it up with "My Nigga", it was pretty clear he wasn't going anywhere.
"Walk Thru" is currently getting the single push, and we've yet to see exactly how far it will get off the ground, but with plenty of club play, and a new high budget video, this could potentially lead to a release date for the XXL Freshman.
Quan was hospitalized during the shoot for the video, but he's since made a full recovery, ad the clip has not suffered for it.
[Update: We now have the HD version of the clip]

Rewriting the story of polarized debate: He got Tea Party and Occupy to talk
Weitzman says the process taught her that "everybody's story matters." Despite polarization, people can still find common ground and work together, she says: "That is what I wanted the audience to know."
Public debate typically isn't structured to include why people believe what they do about divisive issues. Civic dialogue would be more productive if this engagement gap were bridged, Laoudji says.
So he created The Mantle Project, combining the lure of a well-told story with his desire for deeper dialogue. The project's ethos is based on a quote from pioneering psychotherapist Carl Rogers: "What is most personal is most universal."
The program, named after the layer beneath Earth's crust, Laoudji says, is meant "to create a space for people to have a deeper conversation, to dive beneath the surface."
Laoudji's story about learning to accept his own identity explains his passion for reconciling opposing beliefs. He was born in Tunisia to a Muslim father and Polish Roman Catholic mother. His parents divorced when he was 6 years old, and he moved to the United States with his mother and sister.
Because his parents had fought about religion, he's always had an adverse reaction to people pushing their beliefs on him. "They say that you are most drawn to the work that you need to do yourself," he says. "Ideas of self-worth are ideas that I've struggled with; and in [helping people identify their values], I'm also doing some of this work for myself as well."
Laoudji founded The Mantle Project a year ago, just after graduating from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management. He has funded the program's two events out of his own pocket, and is working on a third event on guns and gun control.
Working out of the Cambridge Innovation Center, a collaborative workspace, Laoudji sets up his laptop at one of dozens of communal tables with other young entrepreneurs, researchers, and writers. He recruits participants – calling people and organizations and explaining what his project is about, looking for local events where he can find participants.

Flor De Oliva 7 X 50 Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 3 of 3 reviews
"Great value"
This cigar has a great maduro wrapper for the price. Oliva always does. Tastes like a much more expensive cigar. Some burn a little uneven but that is what torch lighters are for
Keith in Indianapolis May 7, 2014
"Great smoke!!!"
A buddy of mine and I were visiting a store, and although I was hesitant to try a maduro, the price was relatively cheap, so I went for it. The first one I smoked was smooth, and full of flavor. I couldn't believe I was smoking a $4 cigar. The second one was packed a little too tight, but I'm not letting that stop me from buying more. A great maduro for a great price.
Matt in Florida November 30, 2011
"Tasty, but canoes"
Good looking, perfect draw, nice taste. But the first 20 out of the bundle have all canoed and had flaky ash. Still, not bad for buck a stick at auction.

Porn Star Angel Baby is an Eastern European bad girl who flitted in and out of the Stateside hardcore scene in late 1998. A voluptuous, lithesome lovely with long brown hair and a sultry look in her half-lidded eyes, Angel Baby exuded youthful sexual zeal in each of her scenes. Angel Baby's fantastic natural curves were her main claim to fame, and they landed her roles in a heated handful of fiery flicks.
Angel Baby's first feature was the aptly titled 'Big Titties of Europe 2,' where she showed off her awesome assets for a couple of enthusiastic Eurostuds. Her hottest on-screen moments, though, have come in scenes where she's matched up with black superstud Sean Michaels.
In 'Pink Hotel on Butt Row,' Angel Baby shines in the climactic clincher, romping in a Budapest apartment with Michaels in a red-hot rendezvous. Even more scorching is Angel Baby's torrid trysting with Sean and buxom Asian go-getter China Barbi in 'Naughty Wife's Club 6.' The three of them really go for broke, and Angel Baby's energy drives the scene through the roof. She seems to have returned to her gig as a Budapest stripper lately, but something tells us that Angel Baby might just turn up again the next time a Stateside producer shows up in Hungary.

My poems may not follow any norm of poetry. But all the same, I cannot call them 'prose', because those lines were born out of my heart at the very moments that I have described and I have written them as they were born, without editing or altering any thought.
I always love poems, which are stronger than pages of prose and touch our hearts so easily. Striking the right chord is more important than meeting grammatical standards. I am not a great poet blessed with the art of expressing thoughts as also stunning the readers with excellent grammar.
However, I do want to write poems. Poetry can never be created on purpose. That's the whole beauty of this medium. It is an expression originating at a wonderful moment when the heart is perfectly in harmony with the thoughts that churn the mind. Every soul is a poet. Only few of them put their thoughts in writing.

Friday 27 Feb 2015
By Javier Pes. Web onlyPublished online: 19 July 2012
A summer of discontent rumbles on in Los Angeles with a spate of high-profile resignations at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MoCA). Since the beginning of July the museum has seen the departure of its chief curator Paul Schimmel, after 22 years with the institution, and four artist-trustees.
In a press statement the museum praised the curator's numerous exhibitions and acquisitions and announced that an exhibition space in its Geffen Contemporary building will be named in his honour. But Schimmel and the museum's director, Jeffrey Deitch, have stayed tight-lipped about the factors that precipitated their parting of ways. The Los Angeles philanthropist and MoCA life trustee Eli Broad, who was instrumental in luring Deitch from New York but has no voting right on the board, told the Los Angeles Times newspaper that "[Schimmel] was from the old culture and was not getting along with the director." Speculation that there is tension within the museum over its curatorial direction and style of governance has been fuelled by the resignations a fortnight later of the artist-trustees Catherine Opie and Barbara Kruger, as well as John Baldessari. In their joint letter to the board and Deitch, Opie and Kruger made a point of calling for improved communication between all the board members "not just a select few". They added: "Parties and galas are ok, but sometimes these things called 'museums' have to have things called 'exhibitions'." The artist Ed Ruscha was the next to resign, describing the museum's course as "different than I imagined". He wished the institution well, as did the other departing trustees. Recent additions to MoCA's board include the philanthropist Wallis Annenberg and Steven Cohen, the art collector and billionaire hedge-fund manager. Under Deitch's leadership the museum's attendance has risen to 400,000 last year, having dipped as low as 147,000 a year in the recent past. Schimmel will become an independent curator and he will continue to co-organise "Destroy the Picture: Painting the Void", which is due to open at MoCA on 29 September (until 7 January 2013).

It's a sad day for Saturday Night Live fans. The male half of Two A-Holes is following in the footsteps of his gum-chewing better half. The what? Yep, Jason Sudeikis is officially leaving SNL.
On Wednesday night, the actor and comedian appeared on CBS's The Late Show to promote his upcoming movie We're the Millers, co-starring Jennifer Anison. When David Letterman asked him about his long run on SNL, he made a sad announcement. "I'm definitely done," Sudeikis said. "I'm going to leave. Yeah, I'm not coming back next fall." This marks the end of an era for the comedian, who spent a decade on the show, first for two years as a writer and then eight as a performer. But Sudeikis looked back on his time there fondly. "It's been really, really amazing. I was very, very lucky."
But what will Lil' Blaster do without DJ Supersoak? What will Jonathan Cavanaugh-san and Rebecca Stern-Markowitz-san do without their outraged Japanese Studies professor Sansei Mark Hoffman? How will we get The Devil's hilarious take on current events?
Well, we thought SNL would have a lot of big shoes to fill after the departure of Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen and Stefon (oops, we mean Bill Hader). Now, they can add another sizeable pair to the mix.

About this project
About this project
Dark Nova Games is a small game company based out of the Woodlands, TX dedicated to bringing innovative games to the oft-monopolized market. Pen-and-paper roleplaying games and miniature wargames that can stand alone or tie into the RPGs are our specialty.
About the Game-
Our flagship game- the Dark Nova RPG- is a table-top roleplaying game set in the early 24th century. It is an innovative game with nine races and thirty occupations to choose from. Rather than join in the homogenized D20 market, the DNRPG uses a unique system that hearkens back to the Golden Age of RPGs, described more in-depth within the FAQ. With a rich, in-depth setting and a realistic approach to advanced "space opera" sci-fi, the DNRPG creates a world for GMs and players alike that balances fun and adaptability with technology based on real-world cutting-edge theoretical science. The DNRPG main manual is a 2" thick, 8 1/2" x 11" hardcover game manual with extensive artwork by several up-and-coming artists that is 500 pages in length, and contains all of the material needed to run the game. A sample of the DNRPG main manual can be found here.
About the setting-
The setting of Dark Nova is based around the Terran Alliance of Nations. This swath of Human-settled space consists of dozens of major nations, including many independent systems and corporate or guild-run worlds. Central to the Terran Alliance are the Core Worlds. These worlds are the most heavily-settled planets in the human sphere, each having a population in the billions. The majority of these were the most habitable of the colony worlds settled during the first rush of settlement in the 22nd century. Some, however, are clusters of heavily populated capital worlds in distant territories such as the Andali Confederation and Tarsus Corridor Alliance, nations of Humanity born entirely among the stars. Core Worlds include the star system in which they exist, and are considered to be very safe and secure systems that are often the seat of governmental and industrial-economic power. Core World systems are heavily patrolled, both by law enforcement- local and Inter-System Police, the 24th century descendant of INTERPOL- and military patrols.
If the Core Worlds are the seat of civilization, the Fringe is its near-anarchic counterpoint. Defined by poorly equipped, oft-primitive, dangerous and sparsely-populated colonies, the Fringe is the outermost edge of human settlement. Some Fringe colonies are little more than shanty towns built from the freighters that landed the colonists there, while others are fortresses; armed camps that must repel constant raids from predatory aliens. Fringe space is dangerous, with diseases and ailments virtually extinct within the rest of the Alliance, and medical care is a century or more behind that of the Core Worlds. Adding to the dangers are the lack of terraforming on many worlds, the predations of pirates and alien raiders, civil unrest and uprisings, and many, many other challenges. With no Inter-System Police (ISP) presence, and military patrols measured in weeks rather than hours, colonial militias are often the only defense against these threats.
In between the civilized bastions of the Core Worlds and the Wild-West-like chaos of the Fringe lie the colonial territories. These areas make up the majority of the human sphere, comprising 88% of settled worlds. Like a sliding scale, the colonial territories vary in makeup from populous worlds with hundreds of millions of colonists to rough-and-tumble colonies only one or two steps up from a Fringe colony. The colonial territories are- as a rule- far more dangerous than the Core Worlds. Inter-System Police response is limited, usually reactionary rather than proactive, and military patrols are spread thin. In some ways, the colonial territories are far more dangerous than the Fringe. Great wealth exists within this region- both in the form of industrial and technological products and rich ores- and many factions exist who are more than happy to take it by force.
The universe of Dark Nova is populated with hundreds of races, dozens of which are starfaring species who have discovered jump technology (FTL). The players can choose races that are commonly found in known space- the genetically-enhanced Ahruga, lupine Garoudans, ubiquitous and adaptable Humans, the feline K'Thari, the arboreal Kyaren, the strange and charismatic Lyncrathi, the militant indigo Namaran, the Machiavellian Sarza, and the hyper-intelligent saurian Teek. Ahruga ("an Athrugadh" in their native tongue) are a race of genetically-engineered warrior-poets who descend from Gaelic settlers of human origins. They exiled themselves from humanity at the beginning of the 22nd Century, and made contact again during the Capellan War in 2258. They are boisterous, aggressive, yet also charming in a devil-may-care live-life-to-the-fullest manner.
One of nature's expressions of irony- like the platypus- the Garoudan appear to be large bipedal wolf-like creatures, similar in appearance to a werewolf in many ways at first glance. However, closer inspection and biological analysis shows that they are actually more feline than canine despite the appearance. Predatory hunters who evolved technology through intertribal warfare, they are still very feral. The Garoudan recently had a religious civil war, splitting them into two groups- the Garouja and the Angji. The Angji vehemently disagreed with the Garouja that it was acceptable to hunt and eat sentients, spurring a civil war that the Angji lost, forcing them into exile. Very religious, they hold the act of hunting as a sacred rite.
Humans are a bit of a mystery in the universe, as there are three parallel-evolution Human species- the Terrans, Khurians, and Naradi. No one has ever been able to explain how the same species could evolve separately on three different worlds, thus spurring speculation of genetic seeding or manipulation by a long-gone race. The large number of near-human species in existence- such as the Namaran and Kyaren- lend support to this argument, but it is still hotly debated in anthropological and philosophical circles. Humans are pretty much galactic average on most accounts, except for their incredibly stubborn wills, adaptability, and cunning.
Imperialistic bipedal felines, though much more human-looking than the Garoudan by far, the K'Thari are one of the first races humanity encountered, and the first they fought against. Now staunch allies of the Terran Alliance of Nations, they have adopted many Terranesque traditions and traits, especially those of the Nippon Empire, with whom the K'Thari share many philosophical, cultural, and political ideals.
Kyaren are semi-arboreal humanoids that closely resemble Humans, but with prehensile tails and some felinesque traits. They were rescued from the Capellans by the Ahruga during the Capellan War, and have become staunch allies and members of the Ahrugan Tribal Confederation. Thus, they often incorporate Gaelic art and design principles into their own native ones, creating some of the most beautiful works of art and architecture in known space.
Lyncrathi are a charming and exotic species, and one of only a handful of non-predator species to have achieved sentience. The weirdest race in the whole shebang, they are descended from an herbivore not unlike a horse or deer. Lyncrathi are the epitome of hedonist, being obsessed with (and oddly immune to the negative effects of and addictions to) every vice they encounter. They are also masterful diplomats, being able to bridge the gap between cultural divides and get disparate races to sit down and negotiate.
Warlike and aggressive, even compared to the Garoudan and Ahruga, the Namaran are noted by humans for their phenomenal beauty and their incredible military prowess, despite being primitive technologically compared to their enemies. Possessing technology roughly comparable to Terra during the mid-21st century, they nevertheless defeated invading forces of both the Khurian Empire and the Kraegarym, acquiring jump engines from the former and grudging respect and admiration from the latter. Their culture is a very militaristic one, similar in many ways to that of Sparta during its heyday. As a result, many Namaran not in positions of power try to flee the dictatorial culture they live in.
Of all the races out there, Sarza are the most like humans in their society and culture. Physically they are humanoid, but not altogether humanlike. While not exceptionally strong, agile, or tough, being roughly Galactic Average, Sarza are noted for their intelligence and their ability to understand complex social situations. Sarza are very similar to Humans in their social customs and organization, albeit a great deal more Machiavellian in their thinking. Sarza are very intelligent, perceptive, and cunning, always watching for betrayal or opportunity, and planning several steps ahead of an opponent, or possible opponent. While it has been said that the Sarza mind is one of the most paranoid, manipulative, and plotting minds of any sentient, it can also be said that Sarza are rarely taken advantage of or surprised in politics, economics, or battle.
Teek are a diminutive saurian race that hails from a world with continent-wide jungles. They evolved to sentience and tool-use in order to survive, and that drive has led them to become instinctual inventors and tinkerers. Obsessed with technology and machinery, they are masterful engineers and techs. Oddly, they have no true central government, but have proliferated throughout many other races' territories.
The technology level of the game includes relatively fast FTL (average of 75 C/hr speeds for ships, but with limited flight time), advanced nanotechnology and genetic engineering, various types of energy weapons and systems, gravity manipulation, terraforming and other high technology descended from today's cutting-edge theoretical science. Starships ply the spaceways like trucks on long-haul routes, or ships of the 19th century (albeit faster, and with greater risks of pirates and alien marauders). The profusion of this technology depends upon where one is, however, so one can encounter worlds ranging from something similar to Coruscant to something out of Firefly, and everything in between.
Initial Release-
The game was released in a limited local distribution within Texas in May of 2011, debuting at Comicpalooza- a sci-fi/comic convention in Houston, TX- to rave reviews. This initial print run was funded out of pocket at a loss due to the small amount of books we could initially afford to print. The larger the print run, the cheaper the books become per unit. We are seeking to do a second, far larger print run for national distribution, as well as to commission art for the next two expansions of the game- Fortune and Glory and WAR!
What We Need-
We need an additional $3,250 above and beyond what we have already invested in order to meet the minimum printing costs for regional distribution. Any additional money beyond this goal will go towards the printing costs of the two expansions coming up until they, too, have reached the minimum for regional distribution. Our hope is that we will at least double our goal by the target date so that we can do a full distribution print run of both the RPG and the first expansion, however the more we manage to get pledged, the larger we can make the print runs and the greater market saturation we can achieve.
The core system of the game is a dice-based random generation vs. a target number that is adjusted according to situational modifiers. This takes three key forms in the game, combat resolution (which uses a more familiar d20 roll vs. a modified target number), skill, resist, and other similar checks (which use a roll of 3d10 vs. a modified target number), and percentile checks for various situations and generation tables.
Combat- Combat in Dark Nova is turn-based, using initiative to determine who attacks when. Attackers roll a D20 versus a target number for a hit-or-miss adjudication. If an attack is successful, damage is rolled on varying dice depending on the weapon type and applied to shields first, then armour, and finally the soft, squishy parts of a person, vehicle or ship.
Attributes and Ability Scores- Dark Nova utilizes three overarching attributes- Physical, Mental, and Social- with three ability scores in each category. Physical encompasses Strength, Agility and Endurance, Mental encompasses Intelligence, Willpower and Perception, etc. Attributes are determined by finding the average of the three subsidiary ability scores, and are used for a variety of purposes, but most specifically skills.
Skills- Dark Nova is a very skill-oriented game. Much of the success or failure of a character's non-combat career is determined by what skills they possess and how proficient they are at them. Similar to skills are weapon proficiencies. Unlike skills, which require a skill check with various modifiers to determine success or failure, the level of proficiency with a weapon can grant bonuses to Targeting, additional attacks, etc.
Characters are created by rolling 4d6 and adding the highest three dice for each of the nine ability scores (assigned as the player wishes). These raw ability scores are then used to determine what races are available. Since many races have ability score minimums, not all of them will be available to a player based on what he or she rolls. Once a race is chosen, ability score modifiers are applied. All races modify ability scores to some extent, as none of us have ever been fans of Humans being the throwaway race with no benefits. This will then create modified scores between 1 and 30, with 3-18 being the "Galactic Average" range. After race comes the character's occupation. Dark Nova contains thirty loose occupational classes divided up into five categories- Combat Arms, Adventurer, Tech, Academic, and Socialite. Each of these five categories further adjust the aspects of the character- hit point modifiers, resist modifiers, attacks, etc.
Combat is turn-based, but fast-paced, with the average combat situation being resolved in seconds of game time, and only a few rounds of attack rolls in real time. Most single combat scenarios last under a minute, barring complications or the use of creative tactics, heavy armour or the like. This keep the game fast-paced and prevents it from bogging down into a marathon session of dice rolling, while simultaneously allowing for a great deal of strategic and tactical cunning on the part of both the players and the GM.
There are thirty occupations, six each in the categories of Combat Arms, Adventurer, Tech, Academic and Socialite. Occupations are based around many professions, ranging from military and mercenary combatants to diplomats and courtesans, with everything in between. Most of the occupations are adaptable, giving a great deal of flexibility for GMs and players alike to modify and shape the character to a predetermined idea. No two Freetraders are alike, for example, and even more professionally lock-step characters such as Soldiers will have a wide range of adaptability available.
Many games are developed as a response to another successful predecessor whom the developers wish to simultaneously emulate and usurp. Dark Nova is built around a setting-first, system-second principal, and as such the universe of the game was the focus of the system's development. We built the game to stand on its own merits rather than in order to compete with existing games. It was never intended to be fair, and there are no such Utopian concepts of class balance or the like. As in the real world, there are inherent pros and cons of just about everything- the Ahruga are undisputed masters of combat (especially close-quarters), but are probably not the best diplomats or negotiators, for example. The game is built around the pseudo-realism concept of "how would this work in the real world?" in everything from characters to technology.
Our system is complex enough to allow for a great deal of creativity on the parts of the players and GMs, while at the same time remaining simple enough to allow for quick and easy play. The basic system is adaptable to just about any genre, and I have already started writing background material for an urban fantasy setting that is planned in the future. Though not as adaptable as a truly generic system such as GURPS, it is much more so than many other systems. Above and beyond the system- and the most popular thing about the game with those who have purchased it thus far- is the rich, comprehensive setting that it was built on. The first eighty pages of the main manual is purely history, setting and background material, with dozens more pages of setting spread throughout the remainder of the book. This brings the universe of Dark Nova to life for the players, and gives the GM a huge universe with a lot of detailed and blank-slate environments to work with.

Across the street from CHIJMES is another historic building, the grand Raffles Hotel. This historic colonial hotel is beautiful especially in the evening, with its facade lit up. Long Bar located on the 2nd flr of the Raffles Hotel, is a place that you visit just because.
Well, because there is so much history attached to it. It's where the Singapore Sling cocktail was originally created. Ah yes, the Singapore Sling is actually created in Singapore. Unlike the ubiquitous so-called "Singapore Fried Noodles/Rice" found in Americanized Chinese restaurants in the US that have no roots in Singapore.
The most visible character of Long Bar is the concept of in-shell peanuts served to guests. You crack open the shell, pop the peanut into your mouth, and throw the shells on the ground. There is also a live Filipino band that performs and during our visit, the performing band is more of a golden oldie type rather than one who plays their rendition of current hits. Most guests are non-locals and I can understand why. Long Bar feels a little lackluster for those looking for a trendy place. For those with a colonial nostalgia, Long Bar is where you can spend a couple hours at in the evening. The Singapore Sling is S$27. That's a bit steep but hey, it's not the Long Bar for nothing.

All three will shoot minute of venison from the jump. Of those three I am partial to the Ruger. But there is a all three are still top sellers. If the Ruger is the model with the safety on the bolt, you will find the trigger is much improved over the M77 with the tang safety. My order of preference, 1) Ruger, 2) Remington, 3) Winchester. YMMV. Pick the one that you like best.
The one that is more accurate is sometimes more about the luck of the draw. Add savage to the group and buy that Or add montana rifles and buy there american rifle.. Ruger seems to be makeing a sold rifle to day. Remmington can turn out a great rifle and a complete turd. Winchester ,not today. Old yes. Flip a coin over savage and ruger. But do look at montana rifles- american rifle.
I hope Ruger has a better sight mounting system than they used to have. I have a Remington. Had a Ruger once, but got rid of it. Traded it back to the dealership for the Remington, and I have been happy with the .300 RUM ever since.
Wonder why you had problems with your ruger when so many of use don't . You could also use leupold ,reffield , burris or millet rings for ruger.
I still won't buy a Ruger. They had accuracy issues that could only be fixed w/ a re-barrel. I will say the newer rifles really are a throw back to a classic Mauser. That is a positive.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
I'd buy a Rem 700 or a Win 70 long before I'd ever touch a Ruger 77.I just never had one that would shoot very good without doing a lot of work to them. But,I'd really look at Tikka,CZ-USA,or Savage before any of the above,they are just better rifles in my opinion.

I noted something and I wonder whether it is a coincidence or there is something about it. I noticed that girls from Asia ( China, Korea, India ) are much mroe social than guys from there. I've been in ski clubs, other sport clubs, some classes and other social gatherings, and there are always plenty of asian girls in there, but not guys. It's not that I am complaining, it leaves us more available girls per capita, still, I am wondering whether there is something in the cultures that would explain that?

Heck I have a killer deal for you I will sell you a hi-point 9mm for $250 and still double my money. I also have some ocean front property in Arizona.
High angle hell. Death and destruction from above.
Yeah, what they said. Don't spend 300 on that gun, its simply not worth that much. Check out their site, it lists the MSRP.
The cheapest msrp is 285... I'll look at some gun stores but I doubt I'll find one new for less than 225..
That's a pistol.. I'm only 20 and dont have a permit yet in nys... Sry I might of confused u guys.. I was talking about the carbine 9mm model..
