I Hate Starting New Games In RPGs

"Forsaken by his people, he strode into the wasteland," the narrator intones in the intro to Fallout 2. 16 years later, and creator Brian Fargo has delivered that promise anew in a very literal way: by making Wasteland 2, a spiritual successor to his Fallout games that's also a...sequel to their predecessor. » 9/19/14 1:00pm 9/19/14 1:00pm
Want to get ready for Wasteland 2, or just enjoy perusing the numerous attributes? You can download the 99-page Wasteland 2 manual right here. » 9/12/14 1:52pm 9/12/14 1:52pm
I played through Fallout 1 and 2 multiple times, but didn't like the squad based complexity of Fallout Tactics. So this latest trailer for Wasteland 2 is bad news for me. The trailer spends several minutes explaining the seemingly infinite options in designing a squad, only to then show how a poorly designed squad… » 9/06/14 4:08pm 9/06/14 4:08pm

There's been plenty of gloom cast over Kickstarter recently, so let's focus on the good things: like how crowdfunding ended Brian Fargo's 20 year run of Wasteland 2 rejection. » 8/11/14 9:00am 8/11/14 9:00am
"There was this one moment in Fallout 3, when I came across a prisoner at some raider camp," I said. "She was still tied up, but all the raiders were gone. Maybe they were dead or something, I don't know. The game gave me a choice: I could take her supplies and leave her there, or set her free." » 8/05/14 11:30am 8/05/14 11:30am
Wasteland 2's general release creeps closer and closer. Here is the opening live-action movie introducing the game's heroic desert rangers: » 5/24/14 7:00pm 5/24/14 7:00pm

In a world with horse armor DLC, things that game companies sell as additional content never surprises me—but it's probably a bad sign that I clicked this particular button half expecting the "Red Boots DLC" to be real, huh? » 5/12/14 6:30pm 5/12/14 6:30pm
It raised a ton of cash during its Kickstarter campaign. Then Wasteland 2 got delayed because of all that money. But, rest assured, the sequel to the classic RPG is coming. And a new video gives a substantial glimpse at what the gameplay will look like. Get ready for clicking, folks. » 2/25/14 1:00am 2/25/14 1:00am
Wasteland 2 sure is looking nice. Here's a lengthy demo of a level from the game, which gives a good sense of a bunch of the different systems and encounters and how they all fit together. » 8/29/13 5:00pm 8/29/13 5:00pm
Wasteland 2, like Double Fine's adventure game, is one of Kickstarter's greatest video game project successes. And, like Double Fine's adventure game, it's also run into a snag because, well, y'all just gave it too darn much money. » 7/21/13 1:30pm 7/21/13 1:30pm
The Kickstarted game Wasteland 2 now has a publisher—Deep Silver, who will distribute the game but concede all creative control to the developers at inXile, according to inXile. » 7/11/13 5:30pm 7/11/13 5:30pm

Well, not just for you. Fans of Wasteland, RAGE, Borderlands or any other game set in a post-apocalyptic desert are more than catered for at Wasteland Weekend, which will be held in the Mojave Desert at the end of the month. » 9/06/12 2:20am 9/06/12 2:20am

Not that this is a new idea - it's where a lot of the appeal of AAA devs going indie lies - but it's nice to remember that as annoying as the endless stream of Kickstarter projects are, and as big as the risks are for both developers and consumers, there's an upshoot to the whole thing. » 8/24/12 2:30am 8/24/12 2:30am

about me
(This is kind of ridiculous. Are there any real ladies there that do not require a CC# to talk? If you are one of those ladies, DO NOT TALK TO ME!! Wasting my time!!) I like to have fun, but I am looking for something with a solid girl. Good times will be had with only serious girls. NO GAMES. Fun loving guy. CLEAN. Love to have a great time. Not a dirtbag or or a perv. But I know what I am doing in the bedroom. Looking for a good time and/ or a relationship. We must talk first and then see if we hit it off. I love to go out and have a blast with a beauty.
about my fling
I am looking for an outgoing, caring, not afraid to be herself kind of woman. Someone who knows what they want and knows how to please. I have a HUGE heart and need someone to share it with. Self Confidence and a smart ass are a plus. I am very sarcastic and need someone to laugh and play with. She has to be down to do what needs to be done :^) i am at mistao420 where the email is hot.

Essentially this is an overpriced, somewhat interesting, serum. It isn't all that hydrating, so those with dry skin will definitely be left wanting (and needing) more emollients. This is best for normal to oily or breakout-prone skin.
Many of the ingredients in this serum help attract and bind water to the skin's surface as they replenish intercellular substances, and it contains niacinamide. The formula is not the most elegant, but it's a plus that, unlike many of PCS Skin's products, this doesn't contain fragrance (synthetic or natural, both of which are a problem for skin).
Contains components of the skin's natural moisturizing factor to replenish hydration for a healthier complexion. This incredible formula plumps the skin with moisture, leaving it younger-looking, healthier and more comfortable.
Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Extract, Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Fructose, Glycine, Sodium Lactate, Inositol, Sodium PCA, Sodium Polyacrylate, Gluconolactone, Urea, Sodium Benzoate
PCA Skin At-a-Glance
Strengths: Every SPF-rated product provides reliable broad-spectrum sun protection; several products are fragrance-free; good eye cream and retinol serum.
Weaknesses: Way too expensive for what you get; several products contain irritating fragrant oils; the toners contain irritants; there are too many serums and many contain irritating ingredients; the acne products contain problematic ingredients.
PCA Skin is a product line you may have seen at your spa, salon, or dermatologist's office. Founded by an aesthetician in 1990, the brand became relatively popular after developing a series of professional alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels marketed as "medical clinical aesthetics"; in other words, these products are sold to dermatology practices offering cosmetic services such as facials. More recently, PCA Skin has teamed up with a dermatologist and other medical professionals to develop skin-care products. The peels are for professional use only and, in fact, except for a facial scrub, PCA Skin does not sell exfoliants that consumers can use at home.
Not surprisingly, PCA Skin's medical and aesthetics background is supposed to be rooted in science. The company states that "we use rigorous research and science to develop safe, highly effective products that deliver healthy, beautiful skin." Although PCA Skin products contain many beneficial, research-supported ingredients, they also contain numerous problematic ingredients that cause irritation; somehow, that "rigorous" research overlooked those. Irritation is always a problem for skin, causing inflammation and collagen breakdown, and impairing the skin's ability to heal.
Chief among the irritants you'll find throughout the PCA Skin line are witch hazel, citrus and numerous other fragrant oils (whether synthetic or natural, fragrance is almost always a problem for skin), drying cleansing agents, and alcohol (we mean, really, alcohol?!). In our Cosmetic Ingredient Dictionary, we provide detailed information on why each of these ingredients is a problem; for all of their talk about science, chemistry, and research, PCA Skin should know better.
If you remain intrigued by this brand (or find the sales pressure from your aesthetician too intense to ignore), there are some worthwhile products. It's great that every SPF-rated product from PCA Skin includes reliable broad-spectrum sun-protection ingredients, and fans of facial scrubs should know this brand does offer a gentle option. Also, their eye cream and retinol serum are worth a look, and several products are fragrance-free, although you need to choose carefully because many of their products contain fragrant plant extracts or oils despite being listed as fragrance-free.
PCA Skin's science-based mission is admirable, but just because an aesthetician and doctor teamed up, the results for these products aren't going to be spectacular, or even all that helpful.

@PaulRyanGosling (and the Mouthy Housewives) Stand Up to Twitter Police
By Mouthy Housewives on October 19, 2012
BlogHer Original Post
Through all of this, we knew we were having fun and we were psyched that people were responding to it, but we didn't anticipate that our tweets might be seen as any kind of threat to people inside the Romney/Ryan campaign. Truth be told, we will never know for sure who it was that complained to Twitter that we were violating their rules regarding impersonation. Maybe it wasn't anyone associated with Paul Ryan. It does sure seem unlikely that it could have been anyone else.
Hey girl, I hope you're middle class because I'm totally ready to screw you.
— Paul Ryan Gosling (@PaulRyanGosling) August 11, 2012
Which brings us back to Tuesday night when we got suspended by Twitter, and engaged in a most inane back-and-forth with a Twitter safety patrol officer. We changed our bio to clearly state that we were a parody account (it had only said "The Better Paul Ryan" before that), but we held firm that we should not have to change our username to clarify that we were not impersonating a real person. We also realized this might be a blessing in disguise, the perfect moment to come out as the Mouthy women we are, using humor to express our views on politics. And, hopefully, the news would prompt Twitter to realize that only an idiot wouldn't know @paulryangosling was a parody.
We never did hear back from Twitter following our lengthy emails detailing exactly how we were in complete compliance with their rules for parody accounts -- but as of now, we have not been suspended again. We get to keep our name. We have less than three weeks left until election night, and we are as fired up as ever to continue making people laugh at the insanity swirling around this campaign. We hope you'll join us for the rest of the ride, and most important, don't forget to vote!

Derrick AdriaanseReplyShocking bad service!!! We ordered 3 of the Beer tastings. 2 arrived after quite a long time. We waited for the 3rd one to arrive and after 20 min we enquired about the 3rd one and the waiter said they do not have enough glasses, sorry.
I cancelled my order and needless to say the remaining 2 orders were warm and were not consumed. I requested to speak to the manager and after 10 min he arrived (after I requested a second time to speak to him). I said I would like to bring the following to his attention merely to make him aware of the shortage of glasses for him to address in future and I was told that I must remember that they are busy and do not have enough glasses. Honestly poor communication skills and a general lack of enthusiasm.
Food arrived and I think that if someone orders ribs, that one should get more than 2 pieces, merely my opinion.
While we were having lunch they were busy with construction and plastering of walls.
We asked twice for tomato juice and once it arrived it did not have a cap on, but a piece of tin foil.
Next to us was a baby chair with an ashtray on it. Out waiters clothing was dirty, not ironed and had pen stains on the pocket.
I've taken photos of this and are more than willing to send this through.
This surely is an establishment that will not see me or my 4 guest ever again

Robyn WallaceReplyA long awaited Tappas style restaurant in the Winelands! Get there at sunset to soak in the views of the mountains across the colourful scarecrows in the strawberry fields!
The menu has a delicious selection of Tapas and pizzas. A novel addition is the interesting desert Tapas, which we have not tried yet.
The calamari,serviche and pulled beef sandwhich/burger were all beautifully presented and delicious.
The pizzas are generous and for Tappas, ideal to share. Unusal & interesting toppings include local cheeses and nuts.
The wine-list is short and fairly well represented, but we would like to see more of the neighbouring producers represented. The list of local miro-brewery beers is interesting, we tried the beer tasting where 8 generous sample glasses were offered in 2 flights of 4. A tasting was an adequate accompaniment to the tappas. Try the 'real' ginger beer, deliciously refreshing, but a little sweet to accomany the food.
The service staff are friendly and professional, but the service from the kitchen is unacceptably slow. On a warm night mosquitos were a problem, so arm yourself with some repellant! Despite the latter negatives, we'll be back as 'regulars'!

Here's how I see it, the first person to start capping a point should get the most points, those that come in and just right click (The capture isn't even affected by them clicking) should get 5 points if any), if they actually help the capture they should get 15 points or so, the people warding off the enemies should receive 15 points also. Rewarding someone points for right clicking just for points is asinine.
I don't see why this would make the system complicated. Dominion is control points. Team fortress 2 has been scoring control point defense for years with a simple formula. Are you standing on the point while the enemies are trying to cap it? You're defending it. Dominion could be something very similar. Are you "in combat" with an enemy champion while standing on/around a point your team already owns? Did you interrupt the enemy trying to neutralize? You're defending it. Why is this complicated?
Brick Warrior
Only skimmed the thread myself, but I believe I have a simple and elegant solution - award points based on how long one stays alive.
Perhaps set up a threshold based on a point somewhat higher than the average player life-time, where anyone who dies before that threshold gets no bonus points, but those who survive past it begin to earn periodic extra points - small amounts, at first, and gradually increasing as the player's time alive pulls further and further away from the norm. It would of course cap out at some point, either a flat total cap per life or (preferably) a cap on the rate at which you gain larger bonuses over time.
People engaged in intense fighting with high rates of turnover and short lifespans never get the bonus points, but still get points for their contribution through frantic combat. Defenders, deprived by playstyle necessity of those same combat points instead earn these life-timer points.
Just my two gold,
One thing I've noticed is that if you interrupt someone capping a point you get +5, but if they stop capping .1 seconds before you attack them you get nothing, even though in the end you achieved the same result.
Might be hard to code up a fix. How do you know when you made someone stop early?
Masamune Ryuu
Adding exponential scores to cancelling a capture in a determined timeframe seems the most simple way to reward defense. (i.e. in 1 minute, first cancel 10 points, second 20, third 30, and so on...). The timer could reset after u complete a combo, say, 5 cancels.
After you cancel a capture, if you kill the canceller right after, you should get more combat points.
The martyr bonus should depend on how many you were against and how much time you stayed in the point, after you engaged in hostility (after the first cancel is probably a good way to code), the more you hold, the more it should reward you.
There you go.
I am consistently top scorer and I always lose.
I'm starting to wonder if it's because of me, and the score system is just as useless as KDA.
Soren Kaleth
It all depends. Do you actually capture towers or is your score based on kills VC?

Jorge from Austin, TX– Verified Buyer
The lamp is modern and it is very clean and sleek. It has a nice weight, feels very solid and high quality. I have two in my bedroom and they look very nice together. Please note the picture is a little off. The lamp should have been staged and photographed in a room or with a back drop as the lamp body is "crystal clear" and the base and everything neck up are chrome but thats just nit-picking. I recommend this product.

Performing Artists (Click on Artist for Reviews and Previews
Fahim Anwar
Fahim Anwar is a Los Angeles-based standup comedian, actor and writer. He has performed as one of the "New Faces" at the JUST FOR LAUGHS FESTIVAL in Montreal. A regular in the L.A. comedy scene, and a finalist at NBC-Universal's Stand-Up for Diversity Showcase. In 2010 Fahim made his television debut with a large guest starring role on NBC's CHUCK. Most recently, he's recurred in season 3 of FOX's LIE TO ME. Fahim was a series regular on season 2 and season 3 of MTV's DISASTER DATE, appeared on Comedy Central's RUSSELL SIMMONS PRESENTS: STAND UP FROM THE EL REY THEATRE and in season 4 of CALIFORNICATION on Showtime. He also recently provided commentary on various CELEBRITY OOPS! specials on E! Entertainment. Fahim continues to write and star in his own series of internet shorts and has had multiple shorts go viral, with many being featured on Break, Digg and Reddit.
Brent Morin
As a polished stand-up, singer and all around charmer, Brent Morin can do it all.
After a memorable set at the "Just For Laughs" New Faces show, Brent's quickly made a name for himself with appearances on Chelsea Lately, Conan, Adam Devine's House Party and by inking his own development deal with 20th Century Fox to write and star in his own sitcom. This took a backseat when Brent landed the lead role in Bill Lawrence's NBC series Undateable. His decision panned out, as season two premiered to great ratings on March 17th.
Brent hosted the 2015 NACA Kick-Off Event. Last year he played the biggest comedy festival of all time, Funny or Die's Oddball Festival. Brent currently tours colleges and clubs all across the country.
Mike Lebovitz
Mike Lebovitz's comedy career began at the age of six with clowning classes at the local JCC. He's been delighting and confounding audiences big and small ever since with his offbeat yet accessible brand of humor. An accomplished actor, director and writer as well, Lebovitz draws from a broad range of disciplines in constructing his act, using outlandish
viewpoints and subversive turns of phase to highlight the inherent absurdity of being. He doesn't point out life's quirks; he revels in them. After earning a BA in Theater Performance from Oberlin College, Lebovitz trained at both the Annoyance and iO Theater, where he was member of the house teams Ned Beatty and Roadster between 2002 and 2007. He is a member
of Comedians You Should Know, Chicago's premiere stand-up comedy collective, whose debut CD recently topped out as the #1 selling comedy album on iTunes.
Halli Borgfjord
Halli Borgfjord grew up in Kalamazoo, Michigan in a well-rounded family where he enjoyed the comfort of suburban life. Being the middle child, Halli was naturally inclined to be in the spotlight and initially had childhood dreams of becoming an actor, but as a young teenager Halli fell in love with the show "Friday Night Stand-Up" on Comedy Central and from that moment on knew someday he would be a comedian himself. All through grade school and into college Halli was the biggest student of stand-up. While his friends were buying the latest pop albums, Halli was listening to George Carlin and going to see legends such as Jerry Seinfeld and Mitch Hedberg in concert.
Due to his relentless study and passion for comedy Halli was a natural on stage. Starting his comedy career in college, Halli became an instant success with his quick wit and ability to point out the insanity of everyday life. Shortly after beginning his stand-up career, Halli obtained some success by becoming a finalist in a local stand-up competition and from there he began to perform in the bigger clubs in Chicago and across the midwest.
Halli now resides in Los Angeles, CA and is a crowd favorite all across the country. Halli appears regularly in Las Vegas opening for comedy legend, Louie Anderson and he also appeared briefly on the 2010 Green Card Tour with Russell Peters. In Los Angeles, Halli runs his own regular show, "A Comedy SmorgasBorg" at the World Famous Comedy Store and is a regular on the hottest college show in the country, "Comedy Juice." Halli has been featured in Life Magazine and in August 2010 Campus Activities Magazine named Halli to their "Hot Comedy" list as one of the top comedians of 2011. In September 2010 Halli released his first full-length comedy album"Have You Been Borgfjorded Lately?" The album debuted at #2 overall on the iTunes Top Comedy Charts. Halli continues to tour nationally and his comedy album is currently available on iTunes and Amazon.
Danny Bevins
Danny Bevins has been called many things: juvenile delinquent, soldier, flight attendant, patient, husband and lately "disturbingly hilarious". Though the term that best describes him is SMARTASS. His mouth has gotten him arrested, fined and fired from every job he's ever had, but for the last ten years it's propelled him to tour the world and perform on some of the most prestigious stages in comedy. The son of a Jesus freak and a Green Beret, Bevins straddles the line between temptation and authority. He's loud, audacious, opinionated, cocky, animated, charming, irreverent, sarcastic, facetious, ridiculous and dangerous. He is an AMERICAN SMARTASS! Credits include: Winner of the 2000 San Francisco International Comedy Competition Comedy Central's Premium Blend Paramount's The World Stands Up Producer and Star of the comedy documentary-Comics on Duty: We Love You, Mrs. Bevins Twice a Featured Comedian at the HBO US Arts Comedy Festival in Aspen, Co Featured Comedian on The Jameson Comedy Tour Comedy Album - Danny Bevins A Different Kind of Bad !
Fantasy Comedy is a show that will feature the best comics in the business and will also be catered to Baseball/Football fans.

Xīnjiāng Hóng Mǔdān Mùsīlín Kuàicān information
This extremely popular Xīnjiāng restaurant beside Sìchuān University is a great place to sample the Uighur speciality dàpánjī (literally 'big plate chicken') – a massive portion of chicken, potatoes and peppers stewed in a savoury, spicy sauce. Even the 'small' plate (Y30) will serve two or three. When you're part-way through the meal, staff dump a pile of handmade noodles into your dish, perfect for sopping up the sauce. Lamb skewers (羊肉串; yángròu chuàn; Y1) and grilled naan bread (烤馕; kǎo náng; Y4) are good accompaniments. If you're eating solo, the dīngdīng miàn (丁丁面; Y6 to Y8) is a noodle dish worth sampling.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2013)
The Brahman or Brahma is a breed of Zebu cattle (Bos primigenius indicus) that was first bred in America from cattle breeds imported from India. Brahma cattle were produced by cross-breeding Kankrej, Gujarat, Ongole, and the Gir (or Gyr) strains. The Brahman is one of the most popular breeds of cattle intended for meat processing and is widely used in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, United States, Colombia and Australia among many other places.
The American Brahman was the first beef cattle breed developed in the United States. It was bred in the early 1900s as a cross of four different Indian cattle breeds: Gyr, Gujarat, Nelore and Krishna Valley. The original American Brahman cattle originated from a nucleus of approximately 266 bulls and 22 females of several Bos indicus (cattle of India) varieties imported into the United States between 1854 and 1926.
The Brahman is mainly used for breeding and the meat industry. It has been crossbred extensively with Bos taurus (European) beef breeds of cattle. It has been used to develop numerous other U.S. beef breeds including Brangus, Beefmaster, Simbrah and Santa Gertrudis.
Brahman cattle are known for their extreme tolerance to heat and are widespread in tropical regions. They are resistant to insects due to their thick skin. Brahman cattle live longer than many other breeds, often producing calves at ages 15 and older.[1]
In Oman and Fujairah, Brahman bulls are used in the traditional sport of bull-butting. It involves two of these bulls engaging in a ferocious round of headbutts. The first one to collapse or concede its ground is deemed the loser. Brahman bulls being readied for this sport are kept on a special diet of milk and honey for gaining superior strength.[2][3]
The American Brahman Breeders Association was formed in 1924 as the official herd registry to track and verify cattle bloodlines. This organization is now headquartered in Houston, Texas. The name "Brahman" was created by the American Brahman Breeder's Association first secretary, Mr. J. W. Sartwelle.[4] The first president of the Brahman Association was Mr. Linton "L.S." Harris of Kissimmee, Florida.
Some of the Brahman bulls in a paddock, Tipperary Station, Northern Territory, Australia
Heat Tolerance. Studies at the University of Missouri found that Brahman and European cattle thrive equally well at temperatures down to 8°F. They found that European cattle begin to suffer adversely as the air temperature goes above 70°F, showing an increase in body temperature and a decline in appetite and milk production as 75°F, is passed. Brahmans, on the other hand, show little effect from temperatures up to and beyond 105°F. Although heat tolerance is only one factor in environmental adaptation of cattle, it is considered the most important. These are some of the other factors that allow Brahmans to adapt to adverse conditions.

Politicians in a Panic

You can almost see the panic on their faces. The politicians, central bankers, and court economists seem to be thrashing around like bad swimmers caught in a riptide. Despite all attempts -- stimulus spending, increased borrowing, the Fed Reserve's low-interest-rate policy, presidential jaw-boning -- the economy refuses to recover. Unemployment remains over 9 percent, investment is stagnant, and even the previous paltry growth is fading. People increasingly see the government as impotent.
If it weren't for the innocent victims, this would be satisfyingly entertaining. After all, these are the reputed best and brightest, who assured us they know how to fix and run an economy. Now they are at wits' end, and they're running out of time. The election is next year.
Had they heeded those who said no government can run an economy but it can run one into the ground if it tries, neither they nor we would be in this mess.
Of course the policy elite try to maintain a façade of confidence. If government stimulus spending hasn't worked, the "experts" say, it's only because government hasn't spent enough. If you believe that, you'll believe anything. The government already owes about as much as the economy can produce in a year.
Political-economic faith resists evidence. There's always a reason -- other than government itself -- for its policy failures. Those of us who believe that markets (when allowed to work) are morally and economically superior to bureaucracies are called "market fundamentalists." It is true that when markets seem to fail, we point to the government intervention responsible. If that is market fundamentalism, what should we call those who believe government never fails and prescribe more government whenever it appears to do so?
President Obama's most ardent government-fundamentalist supporters say that focusing on the deficit and debt is a mistake. The only thing the president should be thinking about, they say, is jobs. That means more government spending, along with a few tweaks of the tax code. Debt and deficit be damned.
But haven't our overlords already done that, with nothing good to show for it? The ruling elite don't appreciate such skepticism. Leave them alone. They'll get it right next time. They promise.
Despite what Obama, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, and the rest of the ruling elite say, their policies are the poison not the antidote. Monetary, financial, and housing policies created an unsustainable boom and set the stage for the bust we continue to suffer. Since the bust, the Bush-Obama policies have worked against the emergence of a vibrant economy. Instead of getting out of the way and permitting the liquidation of policy-induced bad investments, government has piled intervention on intervention in a foolhardy attempt to recreate the pre-bust world. That is idiocy: The boom was a politically generated series of economic distortions. Restoring that situation makes no sense. Rather, the mistakes must be revealed through market revaluation of assets, insolvent firms must be allowed to fail, and we all must adjust to reality. Then the economy will grow. To date, the government's policies have been aimed at denying reality. No wonder they have failed.
"What should be done?" is the wrong question The right question is: What should be undone? The answer is: Lots of things. A good start would be for the government to stop sucking scarce resources out of the private economy. Every penny government spends -- whether taxed or borrowed -- is a penny taken from potential private investment. Government spending -- particularly welfare and warfare -- must be zeroed out and its borrowing must stop. That should be accompanied by an end to all subsidies, privileges, and barriers to competitive entry. The tax code, which aims to manipulate our economic activities as well as raise money, must be repealed.
But, the policy elite say, if no one is investing their money now, why would they invest if they could keep more? Investors are afraid to move because of uncertainty about what government will do next. The policy unknowns -- sources of which include rules yet to be written for Obamacare and Dodd-Frank -- make waiting on the sidelines the smart bet. Credibly ending the threat of government intervention would do wonders for the economy.

What is your favorite cereal?
Due to Val's vast selection, it is tough to choose but I would have to say Golden Grahams. They are nice with a subtle amount of sweetness and taste good in combination with any of the other cereals.
What is your spirit animal?
The otter! Fun fact: they hold each other's hands when they sleep so that they will not float away; I love that.
Where do you want to live when you grow up?
I would love to live in Colorado when I grow up … or somewhere in Europe.
Who/what caused you to become involved with community engagement?
I fell into community engagement by wanting to spend more time doing activities I loved with young children. Sports have been an integral part of my life and development and I wanted to share and help others get started with that experience as well. I was often encouraged by coaches and teachers to share my knowledge of and enthusiasm for skiing and field hockey and through that I fell into various other engagement roles simply because I loved interacting with people.
Why do you think community engagement is important?
I feel community engagement is important, especially in the Amherst Community, because it allows students the opportunity to get outside of our college "bubble" and really see/experience the area we are living in. Through engagement we are able to foster relationships with organizations and people in town and, in return, feel more connected to the area where we live and prosper. In addition, I think it is really important for people to take time out of their lives to prioritize someone or something else besides themselves. This is healthy for the mind and helps people to gain perspective, especially when we are so lucky to be at a school that provides us with so much.
What would you say to someone who is "too busy" for community engagement?
I would say to that person to think about the feeling one gets when they help someone out or make someone smile. Everyone has time to do that. It helps to motivate you to get your own work done when you know that you made or can make someone else's day a little brighter.
What is your favorite community engagement moment/project/activity?
My favorite engagement activity is an event I have participated in the last 5 years. Relay For Life has allowed me to meet, interact and bond with so many people over something almost everyone shares; we have all been touched by cancer in some way. Attending the event at UMass last year was a special way for me to see my teammates off campus and allow them to experience and participate in an event that is very, very close to my heart. After walking a lap to signify that I have been a caretaker to someone with cancer, it was so powerful to have my teammates embrace and join me on the following laps. Not being able to participate at the event back home was really hard and strange for me and it was very powerful to feel so incredibly supported by my teammates last spring.
What have you learned about the Amherst community through your engagement projects?
I have learned that the Amherst community really appreciates and respects our campus, student body and public events. The community really enjoys when we reach out and allow them an "in" to our lives and time here at campus. In addition, I think many adults enjoy when we work with their children because so many kids look up to us a role models and feel that we have qualities and characteristics to be admired. The community wants to experience activities with us and are not looking for us to do things for them. There is a genuine interest in giving back to us as well, whether it be through watching our sporting events or just checking in with us to see how we are doing and/or how our work is going.
What have you learned about your teammates through community engagement projects?
I have learned through engagement projects that my teammates and I share many interests outside of field hockey and the color purple. It is especially fun to work with teammates who I do not normally see outside of practice or around campus and work with each other in a new way. I have also learned a great deal about teammate's personal connections to certain engagement activities and in turn more about their life and their personal passions.
What impact do you think community engagement has had on your life?
I think community engagement has made me learn a great deal about myself, my personality, my strengths and life interests. Engagement has provided me with a platform from which I can say I now know I want to spend the rest of my life helping people reach their best potential. It has also allowed me to interact with friends and teammates outside of a normal environment/context and, as a result, I have gotten to know them on a more personal and intimate level. This closeness has led to stronger friendships and team chemistry.

What is your favorite cereal?
Captain Crunch! It's heavenly. Crunchatize me cap'n.
What is your spirit animal?
A bear.
Where do you want to live when you grow up?
Ideally, I'd live in Palos Verdes Estates, California. It's a beautiful suburb in southern California overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Great views, great weather, and great people – can't get much better than that.
Who/what caused you to become involved with community engagement?
I was privileged to attend a private school my whole life that emphasized the importance of community engagement. Aside from the mandatory community engagement hours, many students went above and beyond the minimum dedicating hundreds of hours at an organization of their choice. It was in this type of community in which I fostered the belief that community engagement is not an option, it's the norm.
Why do you think community engagement is important?
Community engagement is important for self-growth and cultural understanding. Community engagement expands your horizons to new people, places, and ideas. Connecting with your community allows you to help others, but it also serves as a catalyst to self-learning. Gordon B. Hinckley, author of Standing for Something: 10 Neglected Virtues That Will Heal Our Hearts and Homes, once said "One of the great ironies of life is this: he or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served."
What would you say to someone who is "too busy" for community engagement?
Everyone can make a difference and every little bit counts.
What is your favorite community engagement moment/project/activity?
I love working with kids! I grew up in a family of educators so the classroom is my second-home. Coming from Milwaukee, I've seen firsthand how important education is for the future of our children, especially in areas rampant with poverty and crime. Personally, I enjoy getting kids excited about the little things—finishing a homework problem, reading a difficult book, or volunteering at a local animal shelter. Ultimately, investing in a child's education is the most effective means of reducing poverty. Community engagement in our schools fosters a better, safer, and happier life for many students and their families, which is why I love working with kids.
What have you learned about the Amherst community through your engagement projects?
Becoming involved in community engagement activities in the Amherst area has given me the opportunity to synthesize much of my academic coursework with real life experiences. For example, as an adamant supporter of anti-human trafficking initiatives, I was introduced to the Freedom Café, a local café that donates 100% of proceeds to charitable causes working to end human trafficking. The Amherst community has a plethora of ideas and opportunities to offer, you just have to dig a little to find what you're passionate about.
What have you learned about your teammates through community engagement projects?
Community engagement gives people the opportunity to make a difference about something they care a lot about. One of the most exciting things I've learned about my teammates through community engagement projects are the various topics they are passionate about. The Varsity Field Hockey team has a wide range of interests, including (but not limited to): cancer-awareness, mental-health disabilities, education, mentorship, and anti-human trafficking.
What impact do you think community engagement has had on your life?
Community engagement has had a huge impact on my life. Not only have I gained more knowledge, skills, and friends, but I've gained a deeper appreciation for the opportunities I have. When working with kids, I'm reminded of all the family, friends, and mentors who have consistently kept me on the right track. When working in food or homeless shelters, I'm thankful for the simple things in life that sometimes we may take for granted. My community engagement experiences have been both helpful and humbling.
