We're off to a FANTASTIC start kicking off Radiothon for Kids 2013! Please be a part of it!
Happy Sunday, y'all! Today, Grace and I will brave the thundering herds at the mall in order to take advantage of the tax-free weekend. Not sure if it's really worth it. But before we head out, I would be terribly remiss if I didn't remind
you that I want your money (
click here to make that happen
). Not all of it. Just a little bit. And, if you give me a little bit of your money, I will give you a lovely gift of thanks. I have more fun and exciting things to come, but let's see what we've already got!
You can have one of my personal recipes
. You could have an
all natural, sweet smelling candle
made by (you guessed it!) yours truly. You could have a beautiful and unique
piece of art
. You could have a lovely piece of
vintage costume jewelry
from my collection. But best of all, you could make a donation that helps save the lives of sweet little lambchops like Sage Pridemore, my partner this year. But only if you
click here and give me some money
. Not all of your money. Just a little bit. Thank you, my friends!

Game is a letdown to me and many others plain and simple.. I don't feel I had any sort of insane expectations at all, not even close.

I would love to be their also.. if there was another big sci-fi MMO out there I would be playing it but there isn't.

And even in doing this you only have a couple of actual animations so it's basically the same thing over nad over.. while it is slightly better animations than standard past MMOs it's really nothing to write home about.
Also the storylines are fine for a SRPG but don't add a whole lot to the whole MMO aspect of the game

why were many of my responses 1 sentance? Because unllike wow i dont need to put a wall of text out there to answer someones question. Why do people find this an amazing game? There are 17 pages here that answer this question!!!! We get it you dont like the game, I cannot say what has allready been said

Originally posted by Kanester It's hard to put my finger on, I loved leveling up and I wouldn't say there was lack of end content either. Just the fact I doesn't feel like a world, What I'm playing now is just like an instanced game like vanguard.
I was with you until the comment about Vanguard. Unless you're talking about the new end-game stuff they added that I haven't seen, VG's dungeons were open, part of the Huge-mongous world. I usually never use that non-word, but it's fitting.
So .. And I know this is off-topic, but how is Vanguard instanced now?
On topic - haven't played sweater, never planned on playing, prolly never will play. I have nothing against it, I just found something that's right for me and have no desire to look any further.
I *am* however glad that the OP found a game they like. After only a couple weeks(if i read it right), it's usually hard to tell though.. But I wish them the best of luck.

Join the military or become a cop. Trying to prove how "hardcore" you are in a "game" is an oxymoron. Star Wars universe has nothing to do with being hardcore... there are millions and millions of families who fell in love with the franchise and the STORIES associated with the franchise. If a game tries to deliver that same staple of the franchise, and you call it being "carebear" so be it.
BTW - this hardcore sandbox mentality of "I should be able to kill you in open world pvp and steal all your items so that you can farm more gear for the next year" is the DUMBEST thing i've ever heard. You're looking at the past with rose tinted glasses but the reality is, I play an MMO after 13 hours at work and only have an hour or two a night to get my Star Wars fix. Your view of what the game "should be" goes against what the majority wants.
It's the same reason some of you blew a gasket when you heard what the subscriber numbers were based on the press release. "How could it have so many subs, they MUST BE LYING. Any game that I don't like cannot be successful, that's a FACT."
Get over yourself.

I WAS one of the bigger supporters of SWTOR on this and other forums - was in Beta and bought 2 copies of the Deluxe Edition (my wife never made it past 30 before proclaiming it crap) so I'm not talking outta my ass.
Broken game - broken raiding - broken PVP - worthless crafting and an even worse Space Mini-game. BW hit a milestone LOW with this MMO.
Currently playing SWTOR and it's MUCH better than it was at launch.

I guess I could have just said " I like SWTOR because I find it not too instanced and enjoy the PVP". These elements ...like the math example...may not be true or add up for you..but they are still my opinion. ..I am merely babbling and ranting on the term "opinion" itself. I'll stop now since..as far as this thread is concerned , I've already stated I like the game regardless. The great thing is...after i play some more...I may end up hating the game. Opinions are not set in stone.

...and the other ended up working for the other side. Which I must say couldn't see that coming but considering they hardly used the character at all can't say I doubt anyone much cared. I didn't realize who the hell they were even talking about at first because he's hardly used at all but then you're supposed to be shocked I suppose when he ends up betraying you. It lacks any depth and very few notable characters. Not to mention there aren't any climactic builds at all.
It isn't like video games have the greatest wrap for storytelling anyways so not trying to take the game to task over it. I'll take a main story or plot driving the game and world over this though. Simply feels watered down because I guess they had so much to write for. I don't think the story telling in this game is noteworthy in the least outside of maybe a few 'haha hehe' moments for KOTOR fans.
Also, even though you did say it's "suspense" wasn't on the same level as Game of Thrones to even use the two in a comparison on any level other than to compare good story telling to well...you get the idea...is simply wrong on so many levels.
1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.

Can't say my opinion has changed yet. Although I never thought this game was anything special or great to begin with. About the only thing that has changed for me is how amazed I am at how badly they have managed server populations and due to how low some are in people it just highlights how awful their lfg mechanics are.

Thread: CHOW #322 :: Leader of the Pack
March 24th, 2013 #1
CHOW #322 :: Leader of the Pack
Character of the Week #322
Leader of the Pack
Deadline - Sunday, March 31 10PM GMT
In the animal kingdom, there are packs/herds that travel together for optimal survival. Survival of the fittest is the natural instinct and no one will go back to save a single member. Each pack has a powerful and wise leader, but there is one group of animals that follows a pack leader, not of their species. A humanoid, that is wise, clever, and posses the strength of the animals, he is the fearless pack leader. Design the pack leader of a group of animals. The animal you choose is not limited to ground mammals. You can do birds or reptiles. Insects do not count.
A detail you must include on your character is a part of the animal, that the character represents, to be worn as a symbol of being soul bound to the pack.(ex: a skull, feathers, teeth, claws, etc. must be present on the character)
The Guidelines:
- Can be Male or Female.
- Must be Humanoid.
- Incorporate an animal part to be worn as a symbol.
- Do not combine half animal, half humanoid. You may, however, use physical features of the animal on the character (so if you want to give them frog hands, go for it. Tails, no problem. Hooves are borderline, as long as they are biped, it will be acceptable.)
- The character can be no larger than an average human, but can go much smaller. (ex: they could be the size of a fairy)
- Choose either the legs or arms and exaggerate them to fit the animal which is portrayed
- Create your character from a high angle point of view. Your horizon line will be higher.
The Rules
- Finals must be posted in the finals thread before the deadline
- Final post must include the CHoW number and the artists username at the bottom of the image
- At least 3/4 of the character must be visible
- Sketches or rushed artwork will not be accepted into the poll
- At least two wips posted with your final in the finals thread
- Background is optional
- Have fun!
Additional Notice:
- No photograph paint overs...ever... never ever ever never...for ChoW. Must be 100% original work.
- FOLLOW the brief, and DOUBLE check to make sure everything has the proper footer (name, chow#). Don't forget that 10pm GMT is the deadline! You all have been here long enough for me to truly enforce the rules.
Thanks guys, and good luck this week!

Nice topic!
I dont understand the first part of the focus challenge... what do you mean? For example if I take a wolf pack, so the humanoid must have legs or arms the size of a wolf?

as long as your character is a biped. So no mermaids, that would fall under half human half animal. Just remember that your character needs to remain a humanoid.

Love this theme! I did two rough design sketches- one of a crow-man and another of a hyena-woman.
Both of them I wanted to play around with morphing human and animal proportions. With the crow man I wanted to make his arms to reflect the wing structure, whereas with the hyena woman I stretched her proportions to fit the awkward proportions that hyenas have.
I'm not sure which one to go with yet.
Feedback & crits welcome.

Here's my start.
Not sure if my notes are readable.
But going with the idea of a dwarf lady to lead the female nellies and their offspring (apparently the males travel in 'bachelor packs' if not alone)
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
In a bad mood? Take it out on my sketchbook! All constructive critique welcome!

@Monorok: I took the chance that people might go into the whole "werewolf" type of design. And I can't really say no, because it is so damn borderline. I can only hope that not everyone goes that route, so we get a nice variety.
@Sid: For the hyena chick, I wouldn't stretch her neck that far to fit, but give her a more hunched spine. Think something similar to a gnoll.

I got confused about the angle thing and clearly got the opposite perspective. However I'll be sticking to this perspective as my dude is based on a bear (granted they don't run in packs) but I hope that can be overlooked...
I'll be giving him some big bear arms and hopefully making him look as big and grizzly bear-ish as possible
Some wonderful stuff coming from everyone! I'm excited for this topic
@animare I love your chosen subject matter, I do like the idea of an older woman, one that you can see is as tough as an elephant A tusked weapon would be pretty awesome

Cool stuff so far guys and as I said, the Focus Challenge is optional and you don't have to do both parts of it. It is there to push you to try something different than you normally would.

Rat King rough
Hello! I am literally brand new here as of just a few seconds ago! Lurked on the site long enough, and I needed and excuse to draw more things, and this is perfect. Hope this post's alright.
Here's my initial idea sketch that came to mind. Gonna keep playing with more ideas and thumbs... But the idea is he's the Rat king, living under the streets of the big city. After (accidentally) crushing the last rat king (whose skull he wears as a pendant now), the other sewer rats saw him as a great warrior and follow him everywhere, telling him the city's secrets.
I'll be pulling up references for rats, obviously, since I just kinda made them lumps with feet for now. xD Trying to make his upper legs/thighs bigger/more muscular, with thinner small lower legs, and larger feet/hands, like a rat.
I'm looking forward to my first official submission this weekend.

Welcome Azurega! Nice entry already!
I sort of had the same idea as lilybet, except with polar bears instead of grizzly bears. Now that I have a design I like, I will try the top view perspective to challenge myself.

Giraffe King :3
Just been working on constructing the body again. Some problems with the back foot and hands I'm still figuring out. I wanted to paint a black skinned character, I don't have much practice at the skin tones and I want to push it here. I thought having a lanky long figure would work well, still figuring out the overall design, but pose and physique are getting there.
Some cool stuff so far too, I really like Bear take and the Hippos should be awesome. Give the Hippo Man a huge gut! rofl.

I'm thinking of having a go at the Leader of the Jellyfish - flowing, almost ethereal humanoid, phosphorescent and translucent, with tendrils flowing from the arms and legs, as well as a stylish giant living jellyfish as a headdress. Thinking roughly human scale, possibly taller - still working out a ton of details, including color, facial features, anatomy, element placement, and such. Here's a really quick (~10-30m) super-rough sketch/reference composite to start things off.

Numerous exam-related and other goof-ups aside, the University of Mumbai has jumped to the 131st position, from last year's 140th, in the 2014 Quacquarelli Symonds World Ranking-Asia. A total of 17 Indian universities are in the list of the top 300 institutes.
The National University of Singapore (NUS) has topped, South Korea's Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology is second and University of Hong Kong third.
MU has got an overall score of 44.6 based on nine key indicators — academic reputation (30%), faculty-student ratio (20%), employer reputation (10%), citation per faculty (15%), research paper per faculty (15%), international faculty (2.5%), international students (2.5%), inbound exchange of students (2.5%) and outbound exchange of students (2.5%).
The news, however, has left everyone amused, including varsity's top officials. They usually defer queries on working days but on Wednesday, a holiday, they issued a press release to highlight the "achievement".
Students, senators and faculty, on the other hand, have accused varsity officials of complete collapse of almost all departments, particularly the exam house.
"The university system has collapsed. Hundreds of engineering students have been subjected to mental torture because of the faulty online assessment procedure. Many of us may lose our job offers too as we have been failed wrongly," said Zarin Sayed, a final year engineering student of Saboo Siddik College.
Sayed is among the 4,000 engineering students who were failed as most pages in their answer sheets were left unassessed in the online assessment system introduced in 2013-14.
A few months ago, 10,000 BMS students had failed a paper because the evaluators had been served a wrong answer-key. Long delays in revaluation as well as hall ticket fiascos are routine now.
Senator Sanjay Vairal has sought a separate senate session for the collapsed system alone. "Though the senate is conducted twice a year, students' issues haven't been highlighted amid other routine work.
That's why the system hasn't improved. We need a separate session to address students' issues."
It has also been alleged that varsity's top officials have never been transparent in case of any fiasco. "They continue to deny the issue and seek to defend the outsourcing firm until the governor pulls them up," said Vairal who also alleged large-scale malpractices in the appointment of teachers, non-teaching staff and approval of colleges.
Also, it is said that approaching vice chancellor Rajan Welukar, who still faces a charge of under-qualification, is tougher to reach than the prime minister. Even on Wednesday, his phone was switched off though he was in the city.
Pro vice chancellor Naresh Chandra, however, said, "The ranking has bettered and you must be proud of it. Why don't you see the positive?"

Well, for one week, one set of lights were set to blinking. Not sure if this was an attempt to correct the issue or not. End result, the double stop remains.
Dave (Guest)
At least, the city of Pontiac can set the lights to a blinking yellow after say 10 pm daily. IE. There is a double light situated about the same distance between each other in Auburn Hills for the Meijer and Target entrances and they seem to have the ability to have them both blinking yellow for late night hours.

johnniced (Guest)
Shelley I agree, but have not heard any fireworks around the area lately. Did you mean to post your comment about a firework complaint in it's own thread? I am just not sure what this has to do with the graffiti issue. As for the fireworks, their is a noise ordinence I believe, which would give you reason to complain to the police department about excessive noise after hours.

Day three of the murder trial of a Cumberland man continued in Harlan Circuit Court on Thursday.
Thomas Polson, 37, was back in court to stand trial for the murder of Lynch resident James Feltner.
Commonwealth's Attorney Parker Boggs and Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney and Jonathan Lee handled the case for the state.
Boggs called Justin Simpson to the stand to testify early in the day. Simpson had been charged with complicity in the murder until charges were dropped last week.
Simpson testified that during the time period in which the murder occurred he had become a daily user of pills, saying he was using "whatever I could."
Simpson said he used OxyContin and Percocet.
According to Simpson, he stopped buying pills from Polson when Feltner came back to town.
Simpson testified that he had attempted to contact Feltner many times in the days after Feltner went missing, and had arranged to get pills shipped to Feltner out of a post office box belonging to Feltner by having a fax sent to the post office by the sender allowing him to retrieve the box.
"I was supposed to go get Jay's (Feltner) pills and return them to the supplier," said Simpson.
Simpson stated there were no problems between him and Feltner at the time of Feltner's disappearance, saying the two were "best friends."
Attorneys Kellie Wilson and Katie Gilliam are handling Polson's defense.
A cross examination by Wilson brought testimony that Simpson and Feltner were "partners" in the business of selling illegal drugs, with Simpson being Feltner's primary source for transportation. Simpson stated he drove Feltner to meet his supplier on several occasions.
Simpson also denied selling or using any of the pills he retrieved from Polson's post office box.
According to Simpson, the last time he saw Feltner was on the day of his disappearance. Simpson had gone to Feltner to buy pills, but Feltner did not have any.
Kentucky State Police Sgt. Jackie Pickrell testified that cell phone information had been retrieved using a forensic device used to pull text messages from the phone that had sent or received the message.
According to Pickrell's testimony, the information obtained from cellphones indicate the last message sent from Feltner's phone was a text message to Miranda Halcomb (then Deal) that indicated he was with a person named "Tommy" and would get back with Halcomb as soon as he "got off the mountain." The message was sent from Feltner's phone at 6:04 p.m.
Pickrell also testified that Polson appeared suspicious because he had told police he had not been with Feltner on the day of Feltner's disappearance, but there were indications this was not true.
Testimony showed the last communication between Feltner's phone and Polson's phone occurred at approximately 1:30 p.m. on the day Feltner went missing.
Pickrell stated there were several messages deleted from Halcomb's phone that could not be retrieved.
Halcomb, the last witness of the day, testified that the messages she deleted were deleted before she turned her phone over to KSP because they contained "personal stuff," including possible drug activity.
During cross examination by Gilliam, Halcomb admitted she had a sexual relationship with Simpson, but did not with Feltner. Halcomb also stated Feltner would not have called the area where his body was found a mountain, but would have used the more common name "The Flatts."
Halcomb's final testimony stated deleted text messages documented a conversation between herself and Feltner in which Feltner said he may have to cut Simpson's supply of pills off.
Testimony continues Monday.

This week on the Florida Roundup, we discuss the week's news with the area's top journalists.
WLRN-Miami Herald News hosted a coastal-communities town hall on Nov. 7 as part of our more-than-weeklong multimedia series on the effects of sea-level rise, called Elevation Zero: Rising Seas in South Florida.
WLRN anchor Tom Hudson moderated the event, which included a panel of U.S. elected officials from East Coast districts gathered to discuss a response to the threat of rising seas. For more details on the premise, click here.
The folks in the Bahamas hamlet of Dunmore Town seem blissfully unaware of sea level rise. One resort hotel operator I called in Dunmore, which sits on Harbour Island, dismissed it altogether.
"I was just down at our beachside bar," she said. "I didn't notice the sea level rising." (Yes, she was serious.)
Standing at the water's edge on Florida International University's Biscayne Bay campus, Nicholas Ogle shows a crowd of teenagers what looks like a giant, rotten green bean.
"We don't want any mushiness anywhere, especially at the top," he says, then chucks the specimen to the side.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is no stranger to stirring up controversy. As the 50th anniversary of his uncle's assassination approaches, his previously secret diaries have brought forth more private revelations about him and his famous family.
But he may be more comfortable poking at the fossil fuel industry (which he calls "criminal") while also acting as a green technology entrepreneur.
A decade ago, sea-level rise from climate change was a political argument with very little external reality in the minds of most people.
But University of Miami professor Kenny Broad might have said then what he says right now.
"This isn't some future generation problem," Broad said. "It's in our lap right now and we don't have a lot of time to make some clear decisions."
Plenty of local realtors will describe South Florida's housing market as recharged. The latest reading from the popular Case-Shiller Index showed sales of single-family homes up 13.5 percent from a year ago in August.
There is continued demand for waterfront properties, fueled in large part by international cash buyers from countries like Canada and Brazil. In Miami-Dade County, for instance, the category of luxury properties selling at price points above $600,000 and below $1 million, saw growth in sales of almost 68 percent.
However, the question remains. If you add the threat of rising sea levels to the real estate investment equation in South Florida, are rooms with an ocean view actually a terrible place to put your money?
Growing up in landlocked Iowa may be precisely the reason that the lure of the ocean was so strong for Brian Soden.
It pulled him from the cornfields to the waters around the University of Miami with designs on perhaps being the next Jacques Cousteau.
Except for one pesky problem. He didn't care all that much for biology. No fish fetish here.
What did emerge was a curiosity about how the oceans got to be the way they are, how the atmosphere factors into that and how water vapor, clouds and rainfall play a role in the planetary picture.
Global warming has raised global sea level about 8 inches since 1880 while rising seas dramatically increase the odds of damaging floods from storm surges. In fact, a Climate Central analysis found that the odds of worse floods occurring by 2030 are on track to double or more for widespread areas of the U.S.
When it comes to climate change, one thing is certain: our oceans are rising. And South Florida is expected to be among the first regions on Earth to experience the impact. In fact, some initial preparations are already underway.
Originally published on Sun October 27, 2013 2:10 pm
One year ago Tuesday, Hurricane Sandy bore down on the East Coast, devastating shoreline communities from Florida to Maine.
Many of these areas have been rebuilt, including the Long Beach boardwalk, about 30 miles outside New York City. Officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new boardwalk Friday.
Ninety percent of the funding for the restoration came from the federal government. The Federal Emergency Management Agency paid $44 million to repair the devastation.
The high tide that floods South Florida streets this time of year are known within the scientific community as a spring tide, although another popular term is king tide, which is not tied to any particular season.
A spring tide lasts several days and happens a few times a year when the moon, sun and Earth align.
Originally published on Fri September 27, 2013 10:56 am
Declaring that "human influence on the climate system is clear," a U.N.-assembled panel of scientists reported Friday that "it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century."
Originally published on Tue September 24, 2013 10:53 am
Scientists and government representatives are meeting in Stockholm this week to produce the latest high-level review of climate change. It's thousands of pages of material, and if it's done right, it should harbor very few surprises.
That's because it's supposed to compile what scientists know — and what they don't — about climate change. And that's left some scientists to wonder whether these intensive reviews are still the best way to go.
With almost exactly forty days and forty nights left in South Florida's rainy season, now might be a good moment to consider the options.
Globally, four Noah's Arks have been either completed or started in the last few years.
As of last March, one-tenth of a life-sized ark -- 150-feet worth -- sat just outside Hialeah, part of the $1.5 million Hidden Ark project. (An update on that later.)

Then if you want to go to the coast from Patzcuaro its a short hop down to Playa Azul which is nice and quiet with a few hotels, I paid 120 pesos In Playa Azul.
Do you have Sjoerd Bakkers Hotels of Mexico?
Check in Mazatlan for a tire its a big place there is a bike shop on the Malecon near the Golden zone and when I stopped they were very helpful. Stay at the Hotel Belmar in Mazatlan, there are 2 types of rooms 150 pesos and 350 pesos the difference is 1 has just a fan and no hot water the other has A/C and hot water, I found the water coming out of the shower is not cold but refreshing.
Thanks Cal,
I do have SB's book but did not pack it...I know...duh!
I have decided to stick to my original plan more or less. The tire is good until at least Guadalajara and I found a Mitas dealer there. If I haven't worn out the first one I'll just strap a new one on top of all the other crap I have :)

New Apple ad on Seinfeld
An estimated 75 million Americans are expected to tune into the show, allowing NBC to reportedly charge around $2 million for 30-second spots.
For any company, ads during the last episode of a hyped and widely watched television show can sometimes result in a significant payoff--both in terms of brand awareness and sales. For Apple, the brief spot represents the latest in a series of image makeovers as the company strives to present itself as a vibrant, healthy PC company.
The "Think different" campaign, a brainchild of acting CEO Steve Jobs, started running late last year. It was the first new TV ad campaign the computer maker produced since fall 1996, when it created a campaign for the education market called "Bring learning home."
Apart from TV and expensive, high-profile spots in various print magazines and newspapers, the company has begun de-emphasizing the use of its famous "six-color" Apple logo.
According to an Apple representative, the company hasn't yet abandoned the traditional logo, as most corporate communications will continue to use the standard colors. However, Apple "may phase out the old logo over time."
On the new PowerBooks, for instance, the company is using a larger white Apple on a black background, and the upcoming iMac uses a larger "Bondi blue" apple on a white background.

Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:51 AM Title: Epilogue
Thanks for making Aura the chosen one and for sparing all the Cullen family from the fight! I love a happy ending!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:43 AM Title: End
What was that weird garkness that killed whatever it touched? Sure a handy talent to possess in a fight!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:38 AM Title: War
I sure hope that isn't Edward crying out in agony! So far the family is holding it's own!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:27 AM Title: Beginning
How about they are all a bunch of liars? I don't know who to believe now either! Too bad Edward can't sort this out for them!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:22 AM Title: Volturi
With that attitude, I guess they are all going to die!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:14 AM Title: Last Night
Well, as Bella said to herself, it may be the last night they ever have with each other!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 2:10 AM Title: The Passing Of Time
It's kind of nice they finally cleared the air about all that, probably past time, too!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:57 AM Title: Ancient
If they are telling the truth, that would be totally amazing!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:52 AM Title: Help
There are some talented vampires here, but Lance may be the most helpful of all, since he can use all the other's gifts! May I say how surprised I am that Maria is here, by the way?
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:45 AM Title: Not So Free
Maybe we all get some straight answers now!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:41 AM Title: Visit
Sure, sure, just a nice little family visit!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:36 AM Title: Conversation
Welcome to the supernatural world Charlie Swan! Wait until he finds out who Vanessa is and about her imprint!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:29 AM Title: Arrivals
It may not be what she wanted, but this might be the best thing for Bella!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:24 AM Title: The Essence
So, the fighters now consist of vampires, one half-breed, one shifter and a dozen elves! This ought to be really interesting!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:18 AM Title: Dance
This can't be good, if whoever it is smells good to everyone!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:13 AM Title: Power
Let's just hope that they all get through this in one piece! Vanessa has a talent that may come in handy, I hope and of course Jake can shift and fight!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:06 AM Title: Riposte
A very handy talent, if that is what she can do! Now all the family will be involved in this mess!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 1:02 AM Title: History
Where is mindreading Edward when you need him? I'm not sure who is telling the truth, Aura or Talwyn, but one of them is blowing smoke!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 12:54 AM Title: Additions
I wonder if Alice is right about not trusting Aura, or if, as Bella suspects, it's just jealousy?
Date: 10 Nov 2014 12:48 AM Title: Sister
Now that is a different twist, Bella with a half sister, who's half vampire and imprinted on Jake, to boot!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 12:43 AM Title: Revelations
What are the odds of finding Jake in this place?
Date: 10 Nov 2014 12:34 AM Title: Plans
Aura seems to be a party girl and amazingly, Bella is going dancing!
Date: 10 Nov 2014 12:29 AM Title: Shame
I'm glad that Edward went ahead and proposed, and hope Bella hasn't made a mistake writing to her dad!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:52 PM Title: The Truth
Maybe this is that "missing" part of Bella, that makes her okay with killing a human girl? It sure didn't take much for Aura to convince her it was a favor to her friends!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:45 PM Title: Surprise
What in the world is Erika up to, and why don't they all notice that she knows what they are?
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:41 PM Title: Wedding
Nice of Alice to tell Bella Eleazar and Carmen would be in the wedding party! Boy, that girl can spend money like no one else!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:35 PM Title: Shopping
It figures that will be the next item on the agenda. Of course, it might be nice if Edward were to propose first! I wonder now if Jasper's idea is the correct one, or if Bella is right?
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:26 PM Title: Secrets
Makes me wonder what is going to happen when they all go shopping, but more than that, when is Victoria going to show up?
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:17 PM Title: Aura
One class that isn't boring, that's pretty bad! Something fishy is going on with Talwyn and Aura, but I can't figure out what it is!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:09 PM Title: First Day
It is different for the Cullens to attend a school run by a vampire, let alone another one besides the principal!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 8:00 PM Title: Live In
So, neither of them is any longer a virgin! About time, too, I would say! Nice of the family to give them privacy, the best gift in a house full of vampire couples!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 7:50 PM Title: A New Instigation
I hope Carlisle is correct and there will be no repercussions from a vampire principal at their school. Bella is still feeling weird, too which probably isn't a good sign.
Date: 09 Nov 2014 7:42 PM Title: Hunting
So, the Cullens are going to live in Canada! I'm curious as to what is the cause of Bella feeling like a bit of her isn't Edward's.
Date: 09 Nov 2014 7:37 PM Title: Love
Damn Victoria, she killed Renee and turned Phil, probably hoping to get to Bella that way. Wonder what about Charlie? At least she knows Edward really does love her and always has!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 7:31 PM Title: Search
This should be pretty interesting, if Bella can manipulate her shield as she suspects. It sure didn't take very long to find his hiding place!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 7:12 PM Title: The Story
That next to last sentence, did you mean to say Emmett, instead of Edward?
Date: 09 Nov 2014 7:07 PM Title: Shock
I see Bella is still having self-esteem issues, thinking that maybe Edward really didn't love her!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 6:57 PM Title: Friends
Well, who would have thought? I'm not shocked to hear that Alice wanted to change Bella for Edward's sake. I'm also not surprised to hear he's miserable without his Bella. Too bad it's his own fault, for being alone and miserable, I mean!
Date: 09 Nov 2014 6:52 PM Title: Russia
Okay, what are the odds of running into Emmett in the wilds of Russia?
Date: 09 Nov 2014 6:40 PM Title: Prologue
Poor Bella! All due to Sam's caution, I suppose, so he better not take it out on her! Thank heaven she has Jake to stand up for her!
Date: 16 Feb 2011 10:54 PM Title: Epilogue
was acute little story

I think it should have been more to this lemon. It was unromantic and very quick. They should have spent more time getting into it being that they have been apart for so long and it was obviously Bella's first time. There were really no details.


text: http://techcrunch.com – Last week, I published a piece of speculative fiction about how I saw Google and Uber evolving as companies and taking advantage of new technology 10 years from now. That "Dispatch From The Future" got quite a lot of attention, in part because more than a few people got very excited about the prospect of driverless cars and the impact that they can have on the way we think about transportation. Since a lot of people read it as the future is now, and others have said that my ideas about what the world will look like in 10 years might actually be conservative, I thought it might make (IT news)

Knight Pokémon University is Going YouTube—Help Needed!
by, 25th January 2011 at 02:43 AM (1562 Views)
We're finally going public—the Knight Pokémon University RPG is being adapted as a CGI YouTube series!
With this epic move, an all-new animated Pokémon series will be available to older fans who don't care for the official anime. Though many of the lighter elements remain, they are now balanced out by darker/more mature elements which the more kid-oriented official show avoids like the plague.
But this project won't get off the ground without help. That's where you come in.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is fairly straightforward. Currently, we are in need of:
- Concept Artists/Storyboarders
- Voice Actors
- Modelers (requires Blender animation software)
- Animators (requires Blender animation software)
- Sound Designers/Musicians
- Editors
The Screenwriting department has everyone it needs.
Before making your decision, please bear in mind that we have no budget. Absolutely nobody is getting paid—this will be purely for fun.
If you would like to participate in making this dream a reality, send me a PM stating which department you would like to join and, if possible, please include a sample of your work. You will then receive an invitation to join the social group I've set up for this project's development.
Help is always needed, so don't be shy! If you want to help out, don't hesitate to contact us!

Type 2 Diabetes May Have Link to Alzheimer's
Aug. 25, 2010 -- People with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes may be at increased risk for developing telltale brain plaques that are closely linked to Alzheimer's disease, a study shows.
The new findings, which appear in the Aug. 25 issue of Neurology, may give more evidence of the connection between diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.
In insulin resistance, the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, becomes less effective in lowering blood sugar. People with insulin resistance are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
"Type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease are two epidemics growing at alarming levels around the world," says study researcher Kensuke Sasaki, MD, PhD, with Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan, in a news release. "With the rising obesity rates and the fact that obesity is related to the rise in type 2 diabetes, these results are very concerning."
Checking for Signs of Alzheimer's
In the new study, 135 Japanese men and women underwent diabetes screening tests in 1988 and were followed for up to 15 years for signs of Alzheimer's disease. Overall, 16% showed signs of clinical Alzheimer's disease before they died; 65% of people in the study also showed evidence of plaques in their autopsied brains after death.
People who had abnormal results on their blood sugar tests were more likely to have plaques in their brain, the study shows. This relationship was more pronounced among people who also had a form of the ApoE gene that's been linked to a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
There was no link between insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes and risk for developing brain tangles, another brain abnormality seen with Alzheimer's disease, the study shows.
"Further studies are needed to determine if insulin resistance is a cause of the development of these plaques," Sasaki says. If it is,"it's possible that by controlling or preventing diabetes, we might also be helping to prevent Alzheimer's disease."
The new study "supports the hypothesis that insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes is causally related to a higher risk of dementia including Alzheimer's disease," writes Jose A. Luchsinger, MD, MPH, in an accompanying editorial.
More studies are needed to figure out precisely how the conditions are connected, he writes.
"This is urgent considering that over half of the U.S. population in the age group most at risk for cognitive impairment has prediabetes or type 2 diabetes," he writes.
Some current trials are looking at how available insulin-sensitizing drugs affect cognitive impairment.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

A small group of North Dakota Army National Guard soldiers assigned to the Valley City-based 231st Brigade Support Battalion have received an alert notification for possible mobilization, said the unit's commander, Capt. Nicolette Daschendorf. More in Thursday's issue of the Times-Record.
A novel by Arizona resident Judith Grout is partially set in Valley City, which she calls Felicity, N.D. in the book. The novel, called, "Chasing the Strawberry Moon: Hitchiking (for girls)," is based on the true story of Grout's late mother-in-law's journey with her friend across the western United States during the summer of 1939.
More in Thursday's Times-Record.
Valley City will hold its annual tax equalization meeting on Tuesday, April 8 at 4 p.m. in the commission chambers at City Hall.
Local concerns over a lack of mental health and addiction services in Barnes County will be addressed April 8 when city and county residents will have an opportunity to share their concerns with an Iowa consulting company. More in Thursday's issue of the Times-Record.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
One of the major reasons for the trepidation with moving to the cloud is security. Data security breaches have garnered a lot of attention in the media and rightly so. Breaches are expensive to remedy and, if the breach involved personal identifiable information, a company needs to restore the confidence its customers may have lost because of the breach. This is why before moving to the cloud you need to do your due diligence on the provider to determine the security measures the provider has in place.
Reputable cloud providers will have gone through an information technology security audit such as SSAE 16 (which has replaced the SAS 70), but has your company done the same? The fact is that a company's data may actually be more vulnerable to a breach than if it was stored in the cloud. After all, data security is ancillary to the business of most companies whereas it is part and parcel to most cloud computing businesses.

The panelists expect housing will once again be a standout performer with residential investment growing at an annual rate of 12 percent next year. Builders are expected to break ground on 930,000 new homes in 2013, up 21 percent from this year, while home prices are expected to increase 3.5 percent, after an expected 3 percent gain this year.
But the panelists look for business investment in equipment and software and structures to slow in 2013. They are also looking for after-tax corporate profits to show an increase of 5 percent, down from an expected 8.5 percent gain in 2012. Both years are below the 10.2 percent average increase over the past 20 years.
Among the other predictions in the latest NABE survey:
—Employers will add an average of 165,000 jobs per month next year, a slight improvement from the 150,000 monthly job average so far this year.
—Inflation will remain modest with the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge rising just 1.8 percent. That is below the Fed's 2 percent target. Oil prices are expected to average $93.20 per barrel in December 2013, only a slight increase from $86.70 currently.
—Longer-term interest rates will rise slightly with a 10-year Treasury note at 2.25 percent at the end of next year, up from 1.70 percent currently. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep short-term rates unchanged at a record low near zero for all of next year.

RIM lures app makers with Marmalade software
Published on Sep 19, 2012 9:25 PM
(REUTERS) - Research In Motion Ltd (RIM) said software development kit maker Marmalade will offer licenses to mobile applications developers to bring their games and apps to the BlackBerry 10 smartphones and PlayBook tablets.
RIM, which has been trying to boost its library of apps to better compete with rivals such as Apple Inc, said the offer is expected to bring up thousands of new apps before its BlackBerry 10 hits market early next year.
"Together with Marmalade, we're working to make it as easy as possible for mobile developers to bring their apps to the BlackBerry platform," said Mr Alec Saunders, a vice president at RIM.
The company is looking at BlackBerry 10 to claw back some of the market share it lost over the last few years to rivals such as Apple and Samsung Electonics Co Ltd.

Last summer, I lectured on a cruise around the British Isles. (We stopped off at various ports in the Channel Islands, the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, England, and even France.) During that cruise, we spent a day in the vicinity of Liverpool and Preston with Peter Fagg, a professional English tour guide who does mostly non-LDS guiding but who is also the Church's historical consultant for England. (I didn't know that there was such a cool calling.)
Our group so thoroughly enjoyed him, and we found him so very knowledgeable, that we immediately began thinking of a land tour combining both mainstream English historical and literary sites with places of importance to Latter-day Saints. (I had led two tours to the general area of Preston way back when the new temple there was having its open house, and so I was rather familiar with the place, but Peter took us to fascinating sites that I hadn't seen before.)
A description of the trip that we've planned is now up online:
It's planned for 5-16 July 2013. Peter Fagg will be the local guide, while — if enough people come along to justify it — I'll join the group for some commentary of my own, and perhaps a lecture or two (or three or four).
I'm told that ten people have already signed up for the tour.
There will be a maximum of forty-five. One bus-load. If you're interested, I would suggest getting online, looking at it, and making a decision rather soon.
As a life-long Anglophile and a Church history enthusiast, I'm really looking forward to this one.
And now I'm headed off to Cedar City for a performance of Hamlet.

Alexander Johnson is back in the NBA.
The former Dougherty and Florida State star said he signed a contract with the Houston Rockets on Tuesday that will last the rest of the regular season.
Johnson leaves for Houston on Thursday and, pending a physical, can play for the Rockets in their Friday home game against Charlotte.
"I'm great, man," Johnson said Tuesday.
"I ain't felt this good in three years. I'm back to where I want to be," Johnson said.
Johnson, who led Dougherty to the 2001 GHSA Class AAAA title, starred at Florida State and then was drafted by Indiana (45th overall pick) in 2006 and played parts of two seasons with Memphis and Miami.
Injuries hampered the 6-foot-9, Johnson's performance and he spent time playing basketball in Europe. Training in the offseason at Tony's Gym, Johnson made it clear earlier he did not want to play in Europe again.
Therefore, the D-League was an option. While playing for Sioux Falls, he was named the league's Player of the Month after averaging 24.5 points and 10.9 rebounds while shooting 60 percent from the floor.
Happy his injuries are healed, Johnson said, when healthy, "I know I can make an impact there. (Houston) has given me guaranteed money and feel I'm the best big man in the D-League. My foot is in the door, now, and I want to work during the offseason and stay on the team."

Benches scattered around Samford University provide plenty of opportunities for people to relax and take in the picturesque beauty of the campus, thanks in part to a Samford Greek organization and a local civic club.
Samford's Theta Alpha Zeta Chapter of the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity generously donated two benches located in front of Samford Hall and two more located outside Ingalls Hall.
Samford's Lambda Chi Alpha chapter contributed the benches in honor of Howard College's move from the East Lake campus to the Homewood campus in 1957. The benches have been situated on campus since shortly after the relocation, according to Samford director of stewardship Jim Hamil, Lambda Chi Alpha's advisor.
The benches would have been a welcoming decorative feature as well as a convenient one. Around the 1957 move to Homewood, mud was a predominant feature on campus in the aftermath of the construction of the new buildings. The green, luscious campus of today began taking root in the late 1950s.
Also, a Homewood Lions Club provided additional benches that offer additional spots for a few minutes of rest and contemplation. The Lions Club benches are located on the quad and outside Chapman Hall.
These benches are visible reminders of the impact Samford's students leave and of the University's good relations with the Birmingham community.
Editor's note: This is one in a recurring series on "hidden gems" on the Samford University campus.
