I have a confession to make.
One time … back in college … simply because my friends were doing it too … I joined a sorority.
While I only lived in the actual sorority house one semester and drew the line at wearing hair bows to class, I still remember the Greek name my Big Sis gave me at initiation.
And sometimes, when I'm having trouble sleeping, I try to list everyone from my pledge class (I usually get in four or five Jennifers before finally drifting off), which is about as active as I had been as an alumnus until last weekend, when I went back to the house to help the young women with rush.
Standing outside the beautiful brick mansion with its majestic white columns, I quickly traveled back in time 22 years as an adorable young woman holding a clipboard called my name before handing me off to my hostess, Erin, for a tour of the house.
As she led me to my old room on the third floor, she asked me what had changed since I was in college.
"Well, we had never heard of the Internet," I started, "and the house had three new Macs for all of us to share for writing papers."
She seemed impressed so I continued. "We didn't have iAnythings, tweets came out of birds and the Kardashians were just kids waiting for their dad to land a big client."
Just then we passed a framed composite from my sophomore year. I paused in front of it, scanning the rows upon rows of glamorously-curled, heavily made-up blondes in their matching black drapes before finding my photo: one very disheveled brunette who had, apparently, yet to discover highlights or tweezers.
All of this time I thought I had outgrown my awkward phase in high school, and that by college I was, relative to the bad perm and braces, rather presentable.
I have never been more wrong about anything in my life.
I considered faking it and telling Erin I was sick that day and there wasn't a photo of me from the early '90s to be found anywhere ever, but it was too late. She saw me point to my photo and did a triple-take.
"That's you?" she asked in disbelief, turning back and forth from the photo to the 40-year-old next to her with her well-shaped brows and undeniably salon-colored hair.
"And we had never heard of the flatiron," I winced.
"You look," she stammered for the right words to describe the transformation from 1991 to 2012 before settling for, "really different."
I took another look at my sisters with their gravity-defying hair, knowing there were pleated jeans just out of the shot, and decided we women really do get better with age.
"Yep," I replied, remembering the weekend this summer two of my sorority sisters visited for a wedding. We were the prettiest (albeit only) girls wandering into the Hawk after the rehearsal dinner. "I think we all do."

Johnson, heir to the pharmaceutical fortune and a major American realist sculptor, is organizing a new sculpture workshop that will use three-dimensional digital enlarging machines to send specifications to China for cheap casting of sculpture, according to a report in The Art Newspaper.
The workshop will replace the foundry established by Johnson near Princeton in 1974 to cast his own figurative sculptures and work by other artists including George Segal, Charles Ray, Joel Shapiro, Kiki Smith, and Beverly Pepper. Johnson has put his son, John Johnson, in charge of the new workshop project, the publication said.
Johnson closed the Princeton foundry in February after cutting the staff in December from more than 100 to 40 due to financial problems. The foundry is still operating to finish a few current commissions.
The multi-millionaire artist was reported to have been covering the firm's deficit with his own money. The foundry also served as a workshop in casting and stone carving.

EDITORIAL San Francisco's tech bus saga has proven to be a source of fascination to national and international media outlets. Blockades of Google, Apple, and Facebook shuttles have fueled the narrative that the city is gripped by class warfare, with evictees and low-income renters raging against well-heeled private shuttle passengers and the taxpayer-subsidized tech industry.
There's truth in that, to be sure — but another reason for this mounting tension has less to do with the passengers inside the shuttles and more to do with tone-deaf administrators and politicians inside City Hall.
At the Jan. 21 San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency meeting where the plan to regulate the Google buses was adopted, people filled a hearing room and an overflow room to capacity and sounded off for hours with their concerns. Some voiced support, but opponents felt the city wasn't demanding enough from the shuttle-sponsoring corporations in exchange for this privilege, and for the headaches they've already caused.
Yet the board of that supposedly independent agency just unanimously rubber-stamped the plan that had been crafted behind closed doors, without even bothering to conduct a broad-based study about the impacts the shuttles are actually having on the city.
There's a lot of anger in San Francisco right now. And no, it isn't rooted in envy over tech workers' generous salaries. Much of it is driven by a growing sense that city government routinely freezes out the public while doing the bidding of a small number of elite stakeholders with undue influence.
Despite dozens of protests, a media blitzkrieg, and passionate speeches urging the MTA board to come up with a better plan, the directors chose to endorse something that had been formulated without public input. That simply is not how government is supposed to work, particularly here in San Francisco.
Yet this episode is all too typical of how the people's business is being conducted these days. Important decisions are getting made behind closed doors and presented to the public as done deals, including the decisions by Mayor Ed Lee and his appointees to repeal Sunday metering, block CleanPowerSF, speed up housing development, and build a Warriors arena on the waterfront.
How would this have gone differently if city administrators took their commitment to big ideas like "civic engagement" seriously, and actually solicited ideas from the public from the start instead of treating the broader community as an afterthought?
As long as City Hall continues to be perceived as out of touch with city residents, and beholden to corporate interests alone, expect the tales of San Francisco's class war to continue dominating headlines.

It's already been a season of plenty of ups and downs for the Atlanta Thrashers. But once the team can get past the regulation 60 minutes, it is one of the NHL's most consistent teams.
The Thrashers don't lose in overtime and are also as dominant in shootouts. Marian Hossa scored just 19 seconds into overtime Sunday for a 3-2 victory at St. Louis, giving Atlanta a four-game winning streak after a four-game losing streak. The Thrashers are 8-1 when the game goes past regulation time, including 4-0 in overtime. Atlanta beat Montreal in a shootout on Saturday at home. The winning streak - the last three victories by a single goal - has pushed the Thrashers (18-17-1) back over .500 and they are tied for second in the Southeast Division with Florida at 37 points. After the NHL's two-day Christmas break, the Thrashers will play at Columbus on Wednesday, then host Florida on Thursday at Philips Arena. Apparently on the skids just a week ago, Atlanta is now very much back in the playoff picture. General manager and interim coach Don Waddell juggled his pairings and the moves have definitely paid off. Hossa and Slava Kozlov were reunited and have given the Thrashers a productive second line to complement the scoring of Ilya Kovalchuk, the NHL's leading goal producer. Kovalchuk, now paired with Mark Recchi and Todd White, scored his 29th goal against the Blues. The veteran Recchi, who had the other goal in St. Louis, has eight points (four goals and four assists) in seven games since being claimed off waivers by the Thrashers. The Thrashers have also received solid goaltending from Kari Lehtonen during their winning streak. He has a 2.00 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage in the four victories. SideBar: Thrashers at Columbus When: Wednesday, 7 p.m. Where: Columbus, Ohio TV/radio: SportSouth/680-AMMore like this story

With the Apple fanboys gearing up to queue up in front of Apple Stores on March 16 to grab the " the new iPad", serious buyers have something different to rejoice. With Apple deciding to continue selling the iPad 2 alongside "the new iPad", it has reduced prices across all variants.
Even after the launch of 'the new iPad" , iPad 2 is still a very capable tablet. It runs all business apps with ease and is perfect for Mails and web-browsing. Even for the entertainment junkies, iPad 2 has enough power under its hood to play the latest games and graphic-intensive apps as well. So you wont get the Retina Display and the 5 MP┬Āi-sight camera, but honestly not many tablet user need these features. Even LTE connectivity is not available in all markets. Considering the above points iPad 2 makes quite a strong case for itself. And the recent price-reduction just makes the deal sweeter by a few grands.
The price -reduction and savings are given below. The maximum discount is being offered on the 16GB┬Āvariant bringing it in the sub 25k category.
iPad 2 Variant |
Old Price (Rs) |
New Price (Rs) |
Saving (Rs) |
16 gb Wifi |
29,500 |
24,500 |
5,000 |
16 gb Wifi+3g |
36,900 |
32,900 |
4,000 |
32 gb Wifi |
34,500 |
30,500 |
4,000 |
32 gb Wifi+3g |
41,900 |
38,900 |
3,000 |
64 gb Wifi |
39,500 |
36,500 |
3,000 |
64 gb Wifi+3g |
46,900 |
44,900 |
2,000 |
As you can see the 16GB┬ĀWifi-only iPad gets a hefty discount of Rs 5,000 and puts right in competition with the Samsung Galaxy tab. This definitely gonna heat up the market.┬Ā
We at iPhonehelp think this is the best time to go out there and grab the iPad 2 as it's a very capable device. Let us know how many of you are gonna pick one up in the comments section.

Very pretty pair of Roses Bill but I think the strong pink of the bg overtakes the delicateness of the flowers.
Removing objects from their original bg is a difficult task & I think you have left behind some remnants.Try using a piece of plain card or even a good old piece of black velvet behind your subject at the time of taking the image,you could use a couple of clothes pegs to hold it in place or if you use card,cut a slit in it & drop it over the stems,that way you avoid any messy or unwanted bg's & you can choose the colour of the card to suit.

Stinson has definitely not made the team yet. This is their preseason roster. I think it is a longshot that he makes the 12 man roster to open the season.
Stinson put up good #'s last year with the Energy
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
He will most likely be D-League again..
He tore up the D-league. Hopefully he can make it.
The transactions in the Register this morning listed him as being waived by the Bulls.

Cell Survival Assays for Individualised Chemotherapy in Primary Glioma Cultures—Colourmetric or Luminescent?
Dawson, Timothy P., Ashton, Katherine, Golash, Aprajay , Davis, Charles H. G., Iyer, R. Venkat, Roberts, Philip, Harris, Frederick and Lea, Robert William (2011) Cell Survival Assays for Individualised Chemotherapy in Primary Glioma Cultures—Colourmetric or Luminescent? Neuroscience and Medicine, 02 (04). pp. 376-383. ISSN 2158-2912

In vitro chemosensitivity testing of short term primary glioma cultures derived from brain biopsies is still in the research phase and has not yet found a place in clinical use. The main reasons for this slow progression are the small amounts of tissue available and the lack of a suitably sensitive assay capable of use in the clinical setting. This study examines whether the MTS and ATP cell survival assays, which determine cytotoxicity via colorimetric and luminescence analysis respectively, could potentially fulfill this role. Primary glioma cultures were tested for chemosensitivity using the MTS and ATP assays and were found to be generally sensitive to cisplatin and paclitaxel but relatively resistant to carmustine and etoposide. For both assays, LD50 values lay in the range 2 - 130 μg/ml but in the vast majority of cases, those obtained by the ATP assay were markedly lower those obtained by the MTS assay. Moreover, at cell numbers less than 2000 in the cases of paclitaxel and carmustine and less than 4500 in the case of cisplatin, these drugs were generally indicated as ineffective against the glioma cultures tested by the MTS assay but effective against these cultures by the ATP assay. These data clearly demonstrate that the ATP assay is more sensitive when estimating small cell numbers generated by primary glioma cultures from brain biopsies and more reliably detects higher kill rates by anticancer drugs. This study also supports the feasibility of using the ATP assay for chemosensitivity testing in a clinical setting.

Transat Jaques Vabre - Mini Transat
Bad luck for Pella: All that went for the shore searching for wind had bad results and Pella was no exception. During the night he lost 2.5nm that he recovered again and is now at 34nm from the 1st (Rogues) with 367nm to go.
I hope to be mistaken but its position regarding wind direction seems worse to me than the one from Rogues, anyway they have a patch with very unstable and weak winds ahead that can decide everything.
Rogues had already showed in the doldrums that is a master in this kind of strategic sailing. Let's see if he confirms those qualities.
Regarding that particular race between Alexandro and Tanguy overtook Alexandro (again
) and he has now an advantage of 4.6nm with 47nm for the finish. The boats are very close and that will probably enough for Tanguy to win over Alexandro.
Alexandro is not smiling for the first time on the videos and that shows how hard the situation is for him: he was leading over Tanguy and then they felt the boat strange and slower, they went inside and found 1 ton of water sloshing around. One of the ballast tanks had a bad leak and the water come out to the bilges. They have been repairing the boat since the start but this problem comes really in a bad time on the last sprint to the finish....
Instead of taking care of the sails for extracting that extra decimal knot, they are busy taking the water out of the boat. Really hard, they did not deserve that
Jour 21 - Team Plastique (IMOCA) - Transat...
Cartographie Transat Jacques Vabre 2013 | Suivez la course en direct !
On the mini race Pedote continues to increase the distance over Benoit Marie that is now at 27nm while the third (Remy) is already at 115nm. Deslene in 5th is slowly closing on the 4th (Garcia) and his at only 9nm. These two are about 150nm from the leader while the 6th is already at 469nm.
On the series Aymeric continues to make an incredible race and if he was racing with the protos he would be 5th. He has already an advantage of 138nm over Justine that on that overall race would be 6th and has an advantage of about 64nm over koster that on that overall classification would be 7th.
The two of them are making a great race and it seems we have on Justine another fast solo sailing woman that with some luck will join at top level the few women that race on equal terms with men.

Hello fellow Tacoma folks,
I live in Texarkana, Ar. This is my second compact Toyota truck. My first was a 1981 (I can't remember the model name) truck. It was an awesome little truck with close to 200k miles and still ran like new. I moved to El Paso Tx. and wanted air conditioning so I traded for a new S10. I realized right away that it was a huge mistake!!
After several years I finally own another one. This one is a regular cab 4 cyl 5 speed manual trans. I use it to drive 32 miles one way to work everyday. I wanted the most basic Tacoma available that came with air. Come to find out, air is standard now, along with some other things. Some of them that I wish it didn't have. Like touch screen audio, bluetooth and loads of airbags. I think that other options would have been more useful like a cargo light, a place to hook tow chains and a trailer light connector. But it sure feels good to be back it my Toyota truck. I actually have something to look forward to when I Drive to work now! Does anyone know of any online or other parts places where I can get a rear sliding window for this truck? I have scoured the internet and can only find them at places like ebay. I don't want to set up an account just to occasionally buy things. Thanks and I look forward to hearing everyone's stories about Tacomas and hope to learn a few things from all of you.

Salle de bain
We stayed for 4 days over new year. Cozy studio in a nice area of Cannes. Convenient shopping just across from the studio. 10 minutes walk from La Croissette which was awesome. Everything with the host went like clock-work, we were warmly welcomed on our arrival and shown around. We were always able to find a parking space close to the studio. The kitchen was well equipped and there was plenty of wardrobe space. All in all a lovely few days in Cannes, highly recommended ! Thank you Marleidi and Vivianne !
Todo Excelente!!!
We had a wonderful time in Cannes living like a local in Marleidi's studio. The studio was as described, clean and equipped with everything we needed.
Close to La Croisette and with a great grocery store right across the street. Although the studio is on a busy street, we didn't hear anything and slept like babies.
The studio apartment was perfect for me, clean and in a good location. Marleidi was prompt and fixed any issues when they arose. I had a good experience.
Marleidi's studio was a very cute little spot and very well located. The studio itself was just as you saw on the photos - well designed and tidy. Super close walk to the croisette - free parking right in front of the road and very accessible. There is a lovely bakery right next door and a super market right across the street. We had a great couple of days.
The studio is perfectly located, carrefour supermarket is just 2mins walking away, shopping /dinning center is 10-15min walking. 5min walking you will reach the sea. The studio is small but enough for just 2 person with all necessary things supplied. The only problem is you need to climb up and down to bed with attention not to hit your head when wake up in the midnight:) but you can also choose to sleep in the couch. For a short stay I would recommend this place.
There are four of us and we love staying at this place! It is safe, quiet and convinient. There's also a postbox outside the house(if you would like to post postcards). Walking to the beach less than 20 mins. We also walked to the centre. The bus stop is right in front of the house. Carrefour(supermarket) is opposite to where we live. Street parkings are always available. The host and the cleaning lady both nice and friendly. I would definately go back next time!
The room is okay for four of us. Five would be abit crowded for adults.
tips to open the gate: push the gate downwards before you open the gate. tips to close the house door: pull it harder until you heard "click"

There is not enough evidence to assess the risks vs. benefits of using the ankle brachial index to screen asymptomatic adults for peripheral artery and cardiovascular diseases, according to a draft report by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. USPSTF Co-vice Chair Michael LeFevre, MD, said despite the uncertain evidence, how he manages patients to prevent heart disease likely would not change based on results of the ankle brachial index test.

I could never get into the clans/guilds whatever you want to call them. I hate it. I want an MMO where *YOU* contribute as a player instead of relying on a guild etc. I will admit, back in the day, the thing I most loved about WoW was infiltrating an enemy city with a rogue and just ganking people at the AH. It was fun, yes I died a lot and gained nothing from it, but it was FUN. So many MMOs these days have some sort of guild social network. I mean no offense but I do not care about socializing with other people. I want MY skill to reflect on what I do. I understand socializing is a huge thing with the human race, but I just cannot associate with such terms. So I am asking, would anyone like a game where it's you vs. everyone? I am not sure if this has been in a game before, but it seems like every game these days relies on some sort of cooperative play. And I really hate that. I don't care if you are better or worse than me, i just want to see what I can accomplish on my own. I hope this makes sense and was posted in the correct forum. |
Even the Lone Ranger had a companion. Tonto. I know this opinion is not politically correct now a days but dammit why play a multiplayer game solo. |
You dont need a guild in Guild Wars 2 believe it or not...you can run solo with everything other than the dungeons or group PvP. Everything in the game auto places you into a group with anyone in the area for shared xp/loot and you can pretend you are doing it alone. However, needless to say...MMOs are enhanced when playing with others that you like. |
Seems to me that most games nowadays are catered to solo style gameplay. There isn't much forced grouping or "guild required to complete objectives" . I guess dungeons and some DE's are the only content that require a group...other then that it's a lone ranger solo fest for most games.
You should be having a feild day with all these MMOs then. they're all catered to not being social and single player. Especially GW2. You can play that game from start to finish without talking to anyone ever. In fact, it seems like most players are doing that. it's the most anti-social MMO I've played in 14 years. The only time I've personally seen people speak is to talk about Obama in the map chat or when I'd msg someone to team up and 10% of the time they'd reply no thanks. The other 90% was no response. The same goes pretty much everygame, though some have slightly better communities (better as in they actually bother teaming up). TERA, TSW, etc etc |

At least in my case I like to go through content solo, but I'm still in the guild chat(obnoxiously so sometimes), and aiming to collect personal favors. Practice doesn't make perfect, practice makes permanent. "There are still vast swaths of our planet's surface in which it's surprisingly easy to lose things.

Yup... I like when you can make a name for yourself. People come onto the forums and cuss you out, that's a good day ;P It's great in open world pvp, but I loved rocking solo in the old frontiers in DAoC and even to a lesser extent Aion and AoC. Nowadays... meh. It's hard to have your contribution in GW2 even noticed during a siege and not just be another face in the crowd. |
Originally posted by kb4blu Some want others to watch them play. Its an epeen thing. |
I'm with you OP. I enjoy seeing what I can do by myself. Usually this is done through ambush-style PvP in modern MMO games that have open world PVP. Outside of that, lone ranger gameplay is dead. I think the next few years, with all these sandbox titles coming out, will allow this type of gameplay again. To the people who say MMORPG are games meant to be played with others and not by yourself, to me that is a very close-minded outlook on what an MMO is. To have a living, breathing world, you need the roadside bandits and rangers protecting their grove in the forest. MMOs need life again, and the solo adventurers (or small gangs) breath life into their respective games in such immersive ways. Serious death penalties makes every close call an adrenaline rush, and every minor achievement a major victory. This alternative rule-set should be in all MMORPGs. |
I enjoy the solo assassin type too in games that support it. Once the Jurassic parks die off maybe we will have this again.
I'm a unique and beautiful snowflake. |
I haven't joined a guild since Aion..and before that Dark age of camelot. Mainly for siege related things. Beyond that I don't really care for them, or the content designed around them (tedious raiding/gear grinding). I do however love PUG'ing. I like getting to see new characters/people and their playstyles. I obviously make a few friends if we happen to end up grouping/running into each other a lot, but otherwise I can't stand the idea of having to log in at a certain time of the day to grind with the same people and what not. Theres hundreds of players in these games, why get tied down to a handful of them? Soloing is usually terribly boring in an MMO, I cannot fathom the enjoyment anyone gets out of it given that they are extremely dumbed down/unchallenging compared to almost any singe player game, but to each their own I guess. |
Originally posted by kb4blu This is very erroneous thinking. It's said so often that it has become a stale mantra for people who don't seem willing to take things one step further. However, this probably belongs in the group vs solo thread. There is a difference between playing a single player game and playing a game with a thriving community as "a lone ranger". I would challenge you and anyone else who think this way to take a step and ask "why, with all the solo games out there would a player want to play as as lone ranger type characer?" What experience might they have that is different from a single player game. Now, having said that I'm not for everything in an mmo being solo. I strongly believe in content that requires the efforts of many. But in "a living world" there is room for groups of people as well as those who live in a cabin in the woods. |

I enjoy both but my mmo gaming roots come from FFXI so I am built on group play first.
The dude acts like there isn't other players like him around.
Originally posted by kb4blu He said "you vs everyone". There is no "everyone" in a SP game. |
If you do not want to socialize online why post a thread about it in a community forum? Clearly you want us to communicate with you about MMORPGs (but not in MMORPGs?). My opinion: I do like guilds and communicating with guildmates. However, I've never been in a raiding group or something because I play when I want to and not at fixed raid or pvp dates. |
Im not sure i understand, but I think I might.. there is a difference between playing solo and being a lone ranger/lone wolf.... The latter terms reflect the ability to do by himself what others are forced to do in groups... for most online games, at least those that are not console based, that would be impossible.. the game mechanics don't allow for one to be so skilled that you can complete group content solo.. that being said that statement isn't absolute.. but for the most part... that ability is determined by the character archetype u pick.. on another note.. I would love to be the lone wolf... its my favorite role/ RP to be... and at the same time just cause u can be the lone wolf doesn't mean u will all the time... cause if u are capable of solo ing group content... odds are a group would recognize how great u are and the OPs wishes would be fulfilled.. |
I think the best example of this would the the imagined role of The Terror of Death fomr .hack//GU
If you truily want to play the "lone ranger" you should do it in a game designed for groups and guilds not change the game to fit you. Else go play a single player game.
I will not play a game with a cash shop ever again. A dev job should be to make the game better not make me pay so it sucks less. |
