Life's a Beach... in Nicaragua!
Trip Start
Jan 22, 2006
Trip End
Jun 23, 2009
After a horrible nights sleep, where I was woke up at 3 am by some guy, who showed up in the bunk above me and who wasn't there when I went to bed at 11 and took it upon himself to turn the overhead fan off... which means I was sweating like crazy! I was not a happy camper, but when I finally woke up at 8... he was gone! It was if I had imagined the whole thing. Anyway, I spent most of the morning getting organized to move out of the room with the horrible bed and into my hammock. Cause if I am going to be carrying around this big hammock, I had better use it when I can. Helen finally left too, that is after having a cry session to me about a guy she had traveled with for two weeks, and fallen in love with... the problem is that he doesn't love her back. So it was a big let down to have to listen too... but I did the good thing and listened intently. Massie, a girl Ben and Bex met in Guatemala, also showed up this morning. She is a really nice little English girl. Anyway, once we were all situated with our hammocks and tents (Ben and Bex camped), we headed down the road to another beach. After a while of being smashed by big waves (Bob and I got killed) we had a nice little lunch at a little place. We then walked up the beach to check out surf board rentals, however had a lot more fun playing with hermit crabs. Bob, Bex and Massie found a whole bunch of hermit crabs behind a sign trying to stay out of the sun until high tide came up. Bob had stuck a stick in to stir them all up... there were so many! We each then grabbed a few and had a hermit crab race on the beach. Bex's crab won and mine came in a close second. All the other crabs never even made it off the starting line. Later that night we all sat in awe of another beautiful sun set.
Well, sleeping on the beach in a hammock is not as much fun as it sounds. The wind was howling all night, which freaked me out, and my stupid little hammock (which is great for lounging and reading) is horrible for sleeping in. At about 2 am, after not sleeping a wink, I got up and asked Ben and Bex if I could sleep in the tent with them. They are such great people, they said sure and Bex actually got up and went to sleep in a different hammock.
After another night of bad sleep, I was ready to get away from the beaches and almost headed back with Bob (who had something wrong with his eye). However, Bex talked me into staying one more day in order to do some surfing. Even though I was really crabby. We changed over into the hotel where we had lunch the day before, where they have big hammocks that I hope to be able to sleep in. The four of us then headed down to the surf beach to test out our surf skills. However, when we got there we were told that the tide was out and there were too many sting rays in the water... YIKES! So after a while of sitting in the surf shop, we went in for a swim anyway. Bex had heard that in order to not get stung you need to shuffle your feet along the bottom... "Shuffle, shuffle"! While hanging out in the surf shop, we met a David (from Chicago) who was on a short holiday. Finally, late in the afternoon, we were able to get boards and give it a whirl. I had been surfing one other time about a year and a half ago, but I had forgotten everything I was taught. I was still able to swim out past the break and I could catch the waves... but they too were pretty big and I just crashed really hard. Bex was a bit worried about me, but like always, I came in with a smile on my face. I spent the rest of the day on the smaller waves that were closer in, which was just as fun. After watching another amazing sunset while walking back to our hotels. We all had dinner and ice cream before calling it a night.
The next morning, Massie, David and I jumped in the back of a truck to get away from the beaches. Thanks to David, I was ten pounds lighter. He was heading back to the states and agreed to take my hammock (since I can't sleep in it) and ship it to my sister. Thanks again, David!

This absolutely annoys me. Both my 920 and SurfaceRT do not have an option to prevent screen timeout/lock. So if Im sitting at home streaming music from my phone to my BT headset, 5 minutes in my wifi gets cut and Im switched over to my data plan. The other day im watching a cooking instructional video (youtube) on my SurfaceRT, every stinking few minutes i have to wash my hands, dry them and then swipe to lift the screen lock. This last scenario is the most recent and absolutely infuriated me.
You should blame OEMs for that.
I can set screen lock to "never" on my HTC Titan but only 5 minutes max on my 900. The option is there but it's up to the OEM to implement.Please read our Community Rules & Guidelines - 12-10-2012, 02:10 PM #4
Yeah, I'm not sure why MS would limit it on the Surface.
Please read our Community Rules & Guidelines - 12-10-2012, 02:12 PM #5
My 8X has 5 min max option. Radar at never too. So maybe this isn't Nokia or HTC.. Hmm
From the CO and my 8X - 12-10-2012, 07:10 PM #7
For your Surface, go to your desktop. Open up the file explorer and click on desktop, then control panel. In control panel, switch the view to small icons and go to power options. Tap on advanced power options and you'll see the option to turn it off after so many minutes. Change it from the default 2 minutes to whatever you'd like for it to remain on. You can do this for both battery and plugged in.
Don't forget peeps, for the most part, it works the same was as Win 7 so before you get frustrated, try the route you would take with Win7 and it will probably do what you want it to.
That's the beauty of the Surface! - 12-11-2012, 01:51 AM #8
Thanks for confirming the advanced power options. I have no RT so it's good to know it's there when I eventually get a Surface.

Trust that God always knows what is best
Has the Lord ever spoke to you and told you to do something that made little or no sense to you? Did you do it? Were you blessed?
If we understood everything the Lord told us, there would be no need for faith.
We are blessed every time we place our faith in Him and trust Him with our whole heart. But there are those times in our lives when it is hard to trust Him. This is especially true when our head tell us one thing and our heart is telling us another.
We all have been in these kinds of situations. We want to follow our hearts and do what the Lord wants us to do, but all conventional wisdom tells us to do something else.
Friends may tell us what they would do if they were in our situation, but they are not us. And what they would do if they were in our shoes may not be what is right for us.
Every person is different, and what may be right for one is not necessarily right for us or in our situation.
In Joshua 6, we read of how the Israelites took the city of Jericho.
The Lord gave Joshua His battle plan on how He wanted it done. For six days they were to march around the city carrying the Ark of the Covenant and seven priests with ram's horns.
Each day they were do the same thing once. But on the seventh day, the Lord told His servant Joshua to do the same thing, but on this day they were to circle the city seven times.
I am sure this battle strategy made absolutely no sense to a mighty soldier like Joshua. However, Joshua had faith in God and followed the Lord's plan just as He gave it. He did it just as the Lord had instructed him, and on the seventh day the Lord gave them a great victory.
The Bible says in Joshua 6:20, "So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and took the city."
How did this work? There must be something more than marching around the walls of Jericho with the Ark of the Covenant and blowing of the ram horns that brought the great walls tumbling down.
I don't know and I would not want to speculate. All I know is Joshua followed what the Lord had told him to do, and as a result of his obedience, the Lord gave him the city of Jericho.
This should be a lesson to all of us that the Lord can do exceedingly great things if we allow him to. Joshua and the Israelites were just originally people like we are.
If God can bring down the walls of a city like Jericho for them, just think about what He can do through us if we are truly submitted to His will and plan for our lives.
Our "can't do's" can become our "can do's" under His power working in and through us. Suppose what would have happened if Joshua did follow God's will.
Suppose that Joshua said in his heart that God's plan would not work.
Joshua had a choice just like we do. He could have done things his way or God's. He himself would never have thought up this plan. God told him how to do things and he had enough faith in God to trust Him and His Word.
Like so many people today, Joshua could have turned a deaf ear to the Lord.
But he listened to the Lord and did what He asked him to do. The Lord sometimes asks us to do things that don't exactly make sense in our own mind's eyes, but it is always best to trust Him.
We need to be mindful of the fact that He can see what we can't. He always has our best interests in mind, doing whatever it takes to care for us and protect us from harm.
Just as the people of Jericho, we often build walls to keep people from hurting us and causing us pain. But in so doing, we can keep those out who help and bless us in so many ways. We build walls of isolation and separation that are not good for us in the long run.
However, God does not want us to be blocked from the rest of the world. He can help us to tear down these walls that we so often erect in our lives and to set us free to live life to the fullest.
The Bible says that we are sinners by nature. We are separated from God's blessings ... from the best God has for us because of our transgressions. This is why Jesus came. He came to "break down the middle wall of partition between us" (Eph. 2:14).
He died that we may live. Put your life in His hands. You do this by asking Him to forgive you of your sins and come into your life as your Lord and Savior. You will be so glad you did.
Until next week -- God bless.

Body shops repair, renovate and enhance automobile frames and chassis. Frequently, they also paint vehicles. Because of the many chemicals and solvents used in this work, some states and counties require body shops to hold HAZMAT permits. Additionally, state, county and city auto repair and body shop licenses are often required.
Being one of California and the nation's major cities means San Diego is home to many businesses. However, the city's licensing systems are fairly decentralized requiring business owners to apply to numerous departments including the city treasurer, planning and development and the police. Additionally, licenses from San Diego County, the state and sometimes the federal government are required in certain industries. San Diego's major industries include defense, international trade, shipping, tourism, manufacturing, research and real estate. The city's close proximity to Mexico and large natural harbor make it a gateway to commerce with Asia and Latin America.

AngelVision Reaches Milestone with 1000th Customer Success Story
AngelVision Technologies reached an unusual yet impressive milestone when it announced that it has received its 1000th customer success story since the company was launched 12 years ago.
"It's quite an achievement to receive this quantity of feedback," said Stephanie Reck, AngelVision vice president of development. "One thousand times, customers took time out of their busy days to tell us how positively we impacted their companies, employees and lives. That's pretty cool."
Jingozian credits their success to a superior messaging model. "We choose selected elements of storytelling, solution selling and Neuromarketing. This is in contrast to most other marketing firms that rely on just one philosophy. AngelVision utilizes a combination of tools to connect with and educate their customers' target audience," said Jingozian.
"This achievement is confirmation that our approach is working and that we continue to be on the right track," said Dirk Boekee, AngelVision vice president of operations. "Obtaining so many customer success stories clearly indicates that our products work across a wide range of industries," said Boekee. "Every company thinks their sales challenges are unique, but if 1000 other unique companies took the time to tell us how happy they were with the results, then rest assured we can find the right solution for you."

Released: Jul 01st, 2001
Running Time: 86
Director: Jim Powers
Company: Heatwave Gold
Mark Vega, Sabrina Jayde, Mickey G., Allysin Chaynes, Claudia Adkins, Joel Lawrence, Summer Storm, Rick Masters, Brett Rockman, Brian Surewood, Billy Glide, Pebbles, Scott Lyons, T.J. Cummings
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
A study guide for carnal college studies.
Jim Powers lets loose Chrissy on the campus of carnal pleasure that was once the exclusive domain of Kelly (of Kelly the Coed), with satisfying results for strokers into the school girl kink.
Chrissy (Sabrina Jayde), as a new pledge in the Pi Pi sorority, is worried about all those things freshmen girls in college wonder about, like what's the best position to fuck in, and how deep can a girl take a cock without gagging and what's the proper height for the perfect 69? Luckily, Chrissy figures out that those questions are more hands-on than theoretical and does her first lab session in a real frat house with partners Allysin Chaynes and Mark Vega.
Claudia Adkins adds to the superb selection for your strokers who like their sluts in skirts. She gives a good overall performance as a confused coed looking to raise her grade by raising the cock of her instructor, Mickey G. Extra points to G. for humor, who asks Adkins, "Is this the A you were looking for?" before plowing into her ass.
In what is, no doubt, an homage to Rebel Without a Cause, Powers racks a few points with his sex scene in an observatory, and gets an A for originality. Powers get a few points off though, for trying to pass Rick Masters and Joel Lawrence off as undergrads, when they're closer to grad students.

A challenge of quantitative analysis of complex protein mixtures using isotope coded affinity tags is to correctly identify and obtain accurate quantitative information for ICAT reagent pairs on a spectrum generated by mass spectrometry. Because MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry can easily generate peptide mass fingerprint profiles and relative quantitation, it can be used to quickly screen the ICAT reagent pairs representing the up- and down-regulated proteins from complex mixtures. The challenge lies in how to distinguish true signal from noise present in the analysis.
Accuracy of the quantitative results and dynamic range depends on peak detection, data processing, and interpretation strategies. We describe here the software implemented for ICAT reagent analysis using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (Figure 1). Examples of ICAT reagent data analysis using this software are demonstrated and show the experimental accuracy and dynamic range.
Key Feature
ICAT reagent experiments can be performed on a MALDI-TOF instrument to achieve reliable quantitative results.
Experimental Conditions
We performed ICAT reagent experiments on proteins such as BSA, a complex 10-protein mixture using the ICAT reagent kit for protein labeling. The purified biotinylated peptides were generated from a mixture and further fractionated by reverse-phase separation and analyzed by MALDITOF mass spectrometry. Data was submitted to a software program written in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications available for use with mass spectrometry software. The software offers intelligent features such as intensity-based peak selection based on a userdefined mass range increment. It contains mass filters that automatically remove sodium and potassium adducts and user-defined common contaminants from ICAT reage

I ordered two injectors for my early 03. Fordiesel one of the few company's that sells items for early 03's. They were shipped very quickly via standard shipping. Installation was easier than excepted. Truck runs much better
Posted by Robert Roa on 9th Mar 2013
The website was great, actually showed step by step instructions which was appreciated. Service was great and delivery and tracking also. Once the injectors were here, and the cores were sent back, the website was always responding and showing updates.
would absolutely do business with the company again.

2010 VW Polo Three-Door: Don't Call It A Coupe
The three-door 2010 VW Polo may not be the most exciting small car to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show (ahem, Mini Coupe), but it seems stately by comparison. Also, it's actually going to be built.
Watch 35 Years Of Volkswagen Polo Evolve Before Your Eyes
The 2010 VW Polo represents the fifth generation and 35th year of continuous production of the German subcompact. Below, walk through the big evolution of this little car.

Under pressure to extend revenues, functional food manufacturers are looking for new channels to sell their products and opportunities to raise consumer acceptance. This report examines the possible options available and the strategies required.
Functional food and beverages have moved beyond an emergent concept to become an established market, with the market benefitting from a widening appeal. This report identifies key target segments, growth drivers and strategies for success.
This report was presented by Datamonitor at the inaugural Vitafoods Asia event that took place in Hong Kong in September 2011. It explores the emerging and highly-lucrative market for functional foods in the Asia Pacific region.
Over the past decade, consumers have become more concerned for their health and are increasingly inclined to self-medicate. These factors are reflected in the current market for ingredients in the health and nutrition sector worth $4bn in 2009.
Ingredient development has become central to product innovation in the growing functional drinks market. Using multiple metrics, this report highlights the key ingredients across the energy, sports and nutraceutical drinks segments.
With regulators demanding well-designed clinical trials and substantial supporting evidence, the cost of developing nutraceuticals is increasing. Protecting the intellectual property surrounding these products is a critical issue.
The market for functional foods is growing & adding nutraceuticals to processed foods can be challenging. The ingredient must be delivered to the customer at an acceptable level, in a form that tastes good, feels good and is stable and bioavailable.

Hello Artists of MLKFAA! The voting is open for the
25th contest,
but that's only half the reason for posting this. I'd really like to ask each and every one of you to take advantage of this contest by submitting anything you draw next week. There's a need for more artists and more submissions these days. Remember, the winner gets a beautiful userbar made by Simba, and their art is recorded in the hall of fame at the beginning of each submissions thread. All you have to do is draw something and post it in the submissions thread once voting closes. It's an easy way to get your art out there and appreciated by the forum. I hope some of you take me up on this invitation ^.^

Just a reminder to everyone that coloring another artist's line-art and uploading it to the FAA is against the
Uploading Rules
. While it is good for practice, it should only be for practice, and not for displaying publicly. Even if the artist allows coloring of their art, the FAA won't accept it because the submission is not entirely your own. Thanks!

A Few Updates
- Posted
November 8th, 2009, 9:56 am
I've been wanting to do something like this for a long time. With the new 5 star rating system, it was finally possible. At the home page of the FAA, you will notice several changes. The most obvious being: it shows the most popular pictures as default. It computes which pictures are most popular by the average star rating (soon will be taking faves, number of hits, and number of comments into consideration for more accurate popularity). You can also set time periods to choose from: Today, This week, month, year and all time. I will say again,
I would highly encourage everyone to search deep in their favorite artists' albums and rate their artwork so the oldies can be rated fairly with the new art.
Without everyone's help with rating, the most popular pictures are hard to discover!
5 Star Rating System!
- Posted
November 1st, 2009, 7:30 am
I have incorporated a new rating system into the FAA. It seems to work pretty good, but if anyone is having issues please tell me ASAP. As with all new features, it still needs lots of work - but, I encourage everyone to start rating artwork. I also encourage people to go back into older artworks and rate those as well. Future features might include: changing the artwork shown in the FAA index to "newest and
most popular
", artists can disable ratings if they want, combining the two 5 star blocks as one (hopefully), etc.
Thumbnail Error Fixed

A few of you were having troubles with your character thumbnails (but no one told me). That error has been fixed. Notify me if there are any problems with the FAA, because as I've said before, the entire FAA is still in beta phase and some things aren't done and some things simply don't work.

New Feature
- Posted
September 18th, 2009, 7:44 am
It was very difficult, but I was able to add a new feature! When uploading a new artwork, MLKFAA will search your artwork title and description for character names (your characters and canon characters). If it finds a match or several matches, it will suggest that you tag them in your new artwork. You select which ones are actually IN your art, and then you click submit and it automatically tags them for you. Of course, you can always manually tag them one by one later (and remove tags). Since this feature is very new, there may be some issues with it that I need to fix over the next few days. Please PM me if something doesn't seem right. Enjoy!

Moka's kindly given me access to the updates so I can involve more of you great artists in a little forum competition that I've got set up. For the last four weeks I've been gathering submissions from artists, and letting all members of MLK vote on their favorites. The winner gets a victory userbar, and it's been a great success so far with about 7-15 entries per week. I'm inviting you to enter the competitions, vote weekly for your favorite art, and get more involved in the forum community here at MLK. You can find the submissions thread for week five
I hope to see you all there. =)

Artists can now choose what content they want to show or
show in their albums. There are currently 7 "modules" you can turn on or off. Of course, many artists probably won't remove modules yet because they are general modules, but, when I continue working on new features, there may be some modules that artists may wish to show or...not show. Anyway hope that was confusing enough. You can play with the new feature by going to "Edit Account" and...well you'll see it. I'm planning to add more options to these modules. As for "Artwork Thumbnails", I plan on choosing which thumbnails to show (newest, popular-est, or choose your own..?) and whether or not the artist wants to show a bigger thumbnail of their most popular one. or most recent one. Anyway, I'm gonna be working on album features so people can customize their albums hopefully just as much as they could on deviantArt! I'm not trying to compete with the biggest art community ever...just stealing ideas from it :)
Better Thumbnails

I've updated the thumbnail script so it loads the thumbnails quicker. Hopefully this will make it easier to browse the albums ^^
Caught Up
- Posted
May 22nd, 2009, 8:09 am
Ok everyone, I'm caught up around MLK with new posts and such. I'm ready to begin working on MLKFAA again. I should be able to start tomorrow night :) Expect to see some changes with characters. I'm trying to focus on them.
Internet Explorer Issues
- Posted
May 21st, 2009, 1:37 pm
Hello everyone! Just to let you all know - I should be back TONIGHT at MLK. I had some internet problems and couldn't get online. Through the various computers I've used to see what's going on at MLK, I have noticed that MLKFAA is very disfigured when viewed in Internet Explorer. I'm pretty sure the functionality works fine, but the layout is all messed up. I will work on fixing this within the next month. It's difficult for me because I don't have Internet Explorer 6 on my computer. If you have Internet Explorer 6 or 7, you should upgrade to the new version: IE 8. I believe Microsoft finally fixed Internet Explorer when they updated it this time. Thanks, and sorry!
Delete a Character
- Posted
May 11th, 2009, 11:52 pm
You can now remove characters. You will find the delete links in your character's profile page or your Account -> Characters. :]
"Tag" a Character!
- Posted
May 5th, 2009, 8:07 am
There is a new option you can do with artwork: Tagging characters! You can now match (or "Tag") a character with your artwork. Tagging characters is simple! To learn how, read
this document
. Some of you may notice that some characters have been tagged in your artwork already. That was just me playing around with it :] Enjoy! Please report any bugs you find.
Characters Fixed?
- Posted
April 26th, 2009, 5:25 am
Ok I think I fixed the characters. People who have submitted characters can edit them and upload new portraits, it should work :] Thanks EVERYONE for telling me it was broken *lol* If there's a problem with the FAA you should PM me! I think I'm friendly...O_o
Some Updates
- Posted
April 23rd, 2009, 9:47 pm
Hi! Sorry I've been gone a few days xD I've been busy. I managed to put in a new color picker (yes, yet another one). This one is actually a good one and it's really easy to use. It's just like the one in Photoshop and it works great. I fixed a problem with the edit artwork table thing in your "edit my account" page. Thanks to Zeke for noticing this. I made it so you can type in your species when you make a new character (which allows for all characters). You don't need scientific names. Names like "Lion" or "Meerkat" will suffice. Thanks to Majordomo for suggesting this. I also fixed some problems with character portraits. If an artist has submitted characters, their characters will appear on their album page as tiny thumbnails :] More updates with characters coming soon!
- Posted
April 18th, 2009, 2:42 am
Alright, for the most part, characters are ready to be used. You can start by making your very first character
by clicking here
. Once your character is submitted, it will appear in the Character tab of your album. When viewing your character, you will see the information you have sent as well as a section titled "Featured In...". This is where you can link art and characters together, by "tagging" artwork with your character in them. This particular section is not quite ready yet, so for now please ignore the "Featured In..." section. For an example of what tagging is, visit
Simba's Character Profile
, where I have "tagged" Simba in some of your art. I plan on adding a "Favorite this Character" option as well as a "Delete this Character". Characters are in their very beginning stages, so obviously some features won't be available. Please be patient! I'm done with them for tonight =P

April 17th, 2009, 12:35 am
Everyone now has the option to reply to comments made anywhere in MLKFAA. You'll see a "Reply" option at the lower right hand corner of comments within MLKFAA. Completing this was the most difficult thing I've had to do yet, so it might have some errors that I haven't noticed yet. If something looks wrong, please tell me so on my
journal post
. Thanks to RikoDuroska for the idea!
Favorites Work
- Posted
April 9th, 2009, 7:38 am
They're such a pain...but I think I got them working just fine. I'm sorry, again.
Favorites are NOT Working
- Posted
April 8th, 2009, 5:43 pm
LOL! I just found out that artwork and artists cannot be fave'd more than once anymore. I will try to fix this today or tomorrow. Favorites are really frustrating...
Favorites Are Working
- Posted
April 5th, 2009, 7:58 am
Well the favorites should be working now. If anyone has duplicate favorites, remove them and favorite that artwork or artist again. If anyone is having problems with it, please notify me immediately by PM. Thanks, and sorry for the mishap :]
Favorites Disabled Temporarily
- Posted
April 3rd, 2009, 7:57 am
They are horribly messed up. I'm working on getting them to work. Sometimes, for some reason, it would add two favorite things into your favorites instead of just one. Fixing this simple error may take a while, please bear with me.
I took out replies...
- Posted
April 3rd, 2009, 6:46 am
I thought they were sort of annoying so now artists just have to post a new comment. Replies are still saved so you can still see them. You just can't make any artist replies. >.>

March 28th, 2009, 7:58 pm
MLKFAA is getting pretty big! This is great I never expected it to get this big this fast :] Thank you all for registering and participating! Unfortunately, it grew faster than I had originally thought. I need to remind everyone that MLKFAA is a project that is still deep in development. The final product will be much better than it is right now, please check out my
To Do List
to see what's happening/going to happen at MLKFAA.
BBCode Problem Fixed

March 19th, 2009, 3:32 am
Hi everyone, I have fixed the problem with BBCodes. You should be able to edit things and have BBCode work.
Congratulations, Annie!

March 18th, 2009, 1:06 am
I just have to make a small announcement congratulating Annie on her 100th picture uploaded here at the albums. She is the first to get to 100 pictures! Congratulations, Annie!
Journals Fully Functional
- Posted
March 5th, 2009, 10:49 pm
People can now comment on journal entries. If there are any bugs, please tell me because I haven't tested it out fully.
Also, I changed up the look of the front page. There are now 2 scroll boxes that have these announcements and the most recent journal entries. I may change it up again later, but for now enjoy the journals!
Journals *Almost* Functional
- Posted
March 5th, 2009, 8:53 am
Hey guys! I'm sure you'll all be glad to know that the journals are working now. The only thing I have left to do is comments. It will just take me a few seconds tomorrow and then people will be able to post comments on your journal entries. Sorry I couldn't finish it tonight, I'm sooo tired...
- Posted
March 4th, 2009, 8:23 am
I just realized how dumb it was to have journal entries without the ability for people to comment on them. I'm gonna work on getting these to work. For now, journals are disabled. I will have everything back to the way it was (except people will be able to comment!) Sorry for this delay...again. I'm really busy too. XD
Comments can be Edited!
- Posted
March 2nd, 2009, 8:11 pm
You can now edit the comments you make for artwork. Just look for the "edit" button at the top right of each comment!
Journals Completed
- Posted
February 27th, 2009, 8:08 pm
Hi everyone, I have completed the Journals. You can now use them and manage them within the FAA. Just go to Edit Account -> Journal to get started.
TO-DO List
- Posted
February 18th, 2009, 10:47 pm
Journals - allow artists to post journal posts and display these posts in their album.
Characters - allow artists to make their own characters and fill out information about their characters and make a new tab everywhere in the FAA for characters (like newest characters, most used characters, etc). Artwork will soon have a new feature that you can use. You will be able to tag characters in your artwork such as Simba and Nala or your characters or even someone else's if they allow you too. Then, on the artwork's display page, thumbnails of each character tagged will link to that character's display page. Like I said a long time ago, Characters will take me a long time to finish (lol). But I WILL finish them. I've added canon characters into the database. I have to add characters like Kopa, Chumvi etc too.
Post a summary of the newest journal posts on the index page. (In that "Something Else" box).
Notify the artist of new comments made in their album. This notification will probably up on the very top bar. Like, "Hello, Artist. You have 4 New Comments in your album." Hopefully in the future I will be able to link right to the new comments. This might be tough, I have to figure out how to do this before attempting anything.
If you have any questions, suggestions, comments etc. post them
in this topic
Artwork Previous/Next Buttons
- Posted
February 16th, 2009, 11:15 pm
I've added some nifty Previous and Next buttons on the page when it displays a single artwork. This lets you browse through someone's gallery without having to click back and find the next thumbnail =)
Artwork Descriptions
- Posted
February 12th, 2009, 7:30 pm
Everyone's descriptions of their artworks should be fixed now. I have fixed every single one. If someone finds an error, or still has a blank description in one of their artworks, please PM me immediately!
Artist Comments
- Posted
February 12th, 2009, 4:15 am
The "Artist Comments" portion of your album will work now if you edit it. I don't know why, but smilies don't work. I might leave it like this, though. If anyone's artist comments are not appearing, please PM me right away. Your comments were not lost, I will get them back for you.
Artwork Descriptions
- Posted
February 11th, 2009, 10:47 pm
A message to all artists: Some of your artwork may or may not display the artwork description that you have written. Nothing was lost I just changed the way of displaying the description. I will fix the problem tonight so don't panic if you see a blank description.
New Thumbnail App
- Posted
February 7th, 2009, 9:52 pm
I have added an application that automatically creates thumbnails. This application causes a slight delay the first time a thumbnail is accessed because it has to create the thumbnail. Other than that, it should make MLKFAA faster and better. Because of the new application, I can now allow GIFs and animated GIFs to the Albums. I have also raised the max file size to 4 megabytes by request from a few artists.
Album Colors Article Added
- Posted
February 6th, 2009, 7:40 am
I have added a new article to the Documentation section. It concerns the new feature: Album Colors. Please read it by clicking
Please Ignore the Journals
- Posted
February 1st, 2009, 6:30 pm
Many of you have noticed a "Journal" section in your album. For the timebeing please ignore this. I am still working on getting these to work. In the future, I hope to have these "Artist Journals" be a place for artists to post announcements and whatever they want to post. I could be a blog or just an update log for them - its totally up to them. So please stand by while I work on these.

Holy crap! Twin dragon fight?

Then I hear a roar and I smile: I get to test my new weapons on a dragon. Then i look up and my smile disappears. TWO blood dragons were flying at me each one spitting fire as they got closer. That sight, seeing TWO huge dragons flying at me.... I crapped a brick. I'm STILL fighting them now, this fights has taken like 15 minutes straight, they keep working together! One lands and when I go to slash it his brother snipes me with cover fire. Is this a glitch? Is the game supposed to allow two dragons to spawn at once? --- "Everybody has an opinion. Just some people try harder to shove it down your throat than others." | |
The dragons can do what they want they have some sort of fake a.i. they can just appear out of nowhere and tear stuff up | |
That sounds like a fun battle. --- GT: zxTigerxz | |
Keep following the main quest and you'll eventually get to battle 2 dragons at once. --- Sikx VI | |
This happened to me too just a few hours ago so I don't think it was a glitch TC. Kicked their asses with my army of followers and ghosts and whatnot though... even my horse was fighting them lol. | |
I just had that happened to me the other day. Wasn't too bad because the giants helped with one of the dragons, then between me and Lydia, there other went down without too much trouble. I only died twice :) --- "Mah name IS Bolo SantoZEE. I am da LEADER of the REVolutionARY arMY known as da ReEEePeRZZ!!" | |
Yeah they can spawn more than one dragon at once at random, you know without the main quest, etc. So watch yourself! I wonder if you end up fighting even more than that...? Like would there ever come a point where the game might spawn 3 or more. The horror. --- Follow me on Twitter: @TheKiriyama | |
i almost had that happen to me as well. I was fighting one in the wild when another one i spotted close by started roaring at me. Luckily the second decided to fly away or i would have been screwed | |
same thing happened to me after i completed a side quest where some thugs were preventing a town from using the mine there. fast traveled out of the area to sell loot, realized i forgot to turn in. went back, turned in to hear the roar, and see the two dragons spawn... one of the townsfolk died in the battle... i wish i had a res button... he was the quest giver. thankfully i did get the turn in though. --- I will not hesitate to put my life on the line to keep myself out of harms way. Now Playing: Skyrim, WoW, Skyrim, whatever-distracts-me-this-day, Skyrim | |
It was crazy! It was in winterhold after the town was attacked so there were dead bodies everywhere. I had just improved and enchanted a BEAST elven bow I called Lethality. 12 points of absorb health per shot, with 61 shots before out of charge. I planted it and 30 elven arrows on a dead body and dual casted a Reanimate Flesh spell. My zombie minion took full aggro and was able to tank thanks to the replenishing health from each shot of the bow. Thanks to all the perks I have in necromancy he was around for forever and was really buff. He practically killed of one the dragons alone! I put on the amulet of akatosh, my custom made 25% magicka regen ring and my apprentice robes of destruction and sniped the other dragon down with lightning bolts. They both crashed down next to each other. I sprinted in between them, and channeling a fire cloaking explosion scroll. Slow channel... and BOOM two simultaneous dead dragons for the finish. The most epic fight I've ever had, period. --- "Everybody has an opinion. Just some people try harder to shove it down your throat than others." |

Monthly Average Futures (formerly LMEswaps) are designed specifically for members of the metal community who need to hedge against the monthly average price. They are the first of their type in the world to be traded on-exchange and available for all LME non-ferrous metals.
Tradable on LMEselect and the 24-hour telephone market, Monthly Average Futures enable participants to enter into a fixed price and settle the difference against the floating price (the Monthly Average Settlement Price or MASP) at the end of the averaging period – all in one simple trade.
Monthly Average Futures are traded on-exchange, so pre- and post-trade prices are transparent and trading is regulated. Participants also benefit from the counterparty protection associated with contracts traded on-exchange – namely default protection and member-to-member counterparty risk elimination via LME Clear.

Obama on Gay Marriage
Here's Obama's answer to Brian Williams question about gay marriage during part two of the NBC White House special. Though he skirts the marriage vs. civil union issue a bit, he does say that the the government should not be defining marriage, straight or gay. His answer isn't terribly satisfying, but I think that it does move the debate in the right direction.

According to Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX):

The kids got some new construction paper for a Christmas gift last night, so we made finger puppets this morning. You can see on their faces the excitement and wonder they had for the tiny puppets. They had a great time acting out really funny scenes and stories. A super fast craft with fun results!

I made the finger puppets out of construction paper and magazines today. At the moment my 2 year old is having a nap with finger puppets on his hands. he loved them so much! Thanks for the ideas.

Michigan Officers Attacked by Dogs During Raid
CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP, Mich. --
The Chesterfield Township Police Department said some of its officers were forced to use a Taser and guns on two pit bulls that attacked them while executing a search at a home on Tuesday.
Police said detectives entered a home at 50024 Degas St. about 10:30 p.m. in search of a fugitive they were tracking and encountered five men and two pit bulls.
One of the pit bulls bit a detective on his left arm and also went after another detective who fought it off with a single shot.
Animal Control took the dogs in while police recovered weapons and drugs from the house, police said.
The injured detective was taken to Mt. Clemens Regional Medial Center, where he was treated and released.
Christopher Norris, 23, who was the subject of the search warrant, was arrested and charged with operating a drug house, possession of marijuana and the purchase of a pistol without a license.
Also arrested was:

LA rock quartet Dawes took to the Ed Sullivan Theater at the request of David Letterman himself Wednesday, April 22, to perform "Things Happen," the first single off their highly anticipated forthcoming full-length album titled All Your Favorite Bands (HUB Records, Tuesday, June 2).
The Newport Folk Festival may not be a monster fest on the order of a Bonnaroo or a Coachella, but it has rejuvenated itself over the last half dozen years into a premier summer stop for a broad range of alternative, indie, country-rock and folk acts. Much of the rejuvenation has been the result of a conscious decision by festival organizers to loosen the definition of "folk" to include a much wider swath of bands – really anybody who could plausibly include an acoustic guitar at least somewhere in their set list.
There were four standards for the bands on the bill at The Fox Theater in Boulder on Monday night: each band must have at least one member with an afro (or big hair, at least), each band must hail from somewhere on the western seaboard, each band must maintain a packed house and each band must rip shit up during their set.
'89 Bronco clunking noisily over the Bay Bridge as San Francisco's skyline shimmers in silver and gold, a cold breeze reminds us that behind Sunday's idyllic serenity lurks a killjoy Monday morning. But that's tomorrow!
Greeting San Francisco's The Independent with wide smiles and affectionate waves, country/folk quartet Dawes blessed the Saturday night crowd with golden vocals, sultry finger picking, and radiant, molten country jams evocative of Workingman's Dead. Riding rave reviews of their performances at Lollapalooza and Barnstormer,
"Hear ye, hear ye! From deadhead hippies to electro pop hipsters," screeched the harlequin gliding on rainbow roller skates, "come one, come all." And did they ever! Over 50,000 audiophiles packed into San Francisco's Golden Gate Park for Outside Lands Festival to sample a delectable smorgasbord of rock immortals, indie stalwarts, and rookie sensations. Directions? No need, just follow that sweet, pungent aroma!

Others have a rich history of rough-and-ready off-road performance that isn't exactly conducive to a serene driving experience. Within these seemingly polar opposite groups sits the GX 460, a luxury SUV that tries to offer the best of both worlds.
Based on the 4Runner, the Lexus GX 460 is built on a body-on-frame architecture with a live-axle rear suspension. That gives it the robustness it needs to survive off-road, while traction is assured thanks to its four-wheel-drive system with low-range gearing and a high-tech adaptive suspension that also aids the GX around town. Still, for daily use, there are many competing seven-passenger luxury crossover SUVs that are more fuel efficient or have more comfortable rear accommodations. As such, you'll have to appreciate its multipurpose nature in order for the GX 460 to be ideal.
Current Lexus GX 460
The Lexus GX 460 is available only with four-wheel drive, a six-speed automatic transmission and a 4.6-liter V8 good for 301 horsepower and 329 pound-feet of torque. There are two trim levels: base and Luxury. Standard features on the base GX 460 include LED headlights, a sunroof, faux leather upholstery and a nine-speaker audio system with Bluetooth, satellite radio and iPod connectivity.
The Lexus GX 460 Luxury adds an adaptive variable suspension (with rear adjustable height control), parking sensors, a navigation system, leather upholstery, a heated wood-trimmed steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, power-folding third-row seats and rear air-conditioning. Options include wide-front and sideview cameras, adaptive cruise control, a blind spot monitoring system, a rear cross-traffic alert system, Crawl Control and a premium 17-speaker Mark Levinson surround-sound audio system.
Inside, the GX doesn't quite live up to the Lexus reputation for top-notch materials quality. Nevertheless, controls are easy to use, thanks to intuitive placement. The 60/40-split-folding rear seats and power-folding third-row seats help add convenience for most everyday suburban affairs, though we've found the second-row seats are hard, flat and not particularly comfortable. Another drawback is the GX's swinging rear cargo door hinged on the passenger side. The design complicates curbside loading, though a flip-up rear window allows for stowing of smaller and lighter packages.
On the road the Lexus GX 460 isn't as nimble as most car-based luxury crossovers. Still, the GX manages to impress with a refined, smooth ride and respectable handling. Acceleration from the V8 is fine around town, but with about 5,300 pounds to lug around, the GX 460 can feel winded during highway passing maneuvers. Off the beaten path, the GX impresses with plenty of ground clearance. The optional Crawl Control feature allows the driver to climb steep slopes and rugged terrain without having to apply the throttle or brakes, thereby allowing him to focus purely on steering.
Used Lexus GX 460 Models
The Lexus GX 460 was all-new for 2010 when it replaced the GX 470. The 470 was produced from 2003-'09 and shares many of the GX 460's pros and cons.
The most significant changes to the Lexus GX 460 took place in 2014, with a styling update to bring it in line with the rest of the Lexus family. Other improvements included standard LED headlights, a larger touchscreen interface, a blind-spot monitoring system and rear cross-traffic alerts. Features on the base trim were also scaled back to reduce the price, with one of the more notable downgrades being premium vinyl seating surfaces replacing genuine leather.
