Keeping with tradition, officials broke ground on a project that they say is already well on its way towards changing Pleasantville.
"This project has been long in the making, it sets the tone not only for Main Street but it sets the tone for Pleasantville, it's something we can all be proud of," said Mayor Jesse Tweedle.
The state contributed over seven million dollars in Sandy–related funds to the 38 million dollar project, and when it's all said and done, 135 units will be available for working class families.
"It's 80% workforce housing and 20% market rate, one, two, and three bedrooms," said Tweedle.
Officials estimate the city center will generate over 400 thousand dollars in tax revenue for the city. In addition to housing benefits, with its 18 thousand square feet of retail space, officials say the city center carries a large economic benefit.
"We calculate the economic output of this project alone to be over 61 million dollars to Pleasantville and the surrounding region," said Executive Director of the NJHMFA, Anthony Marchetta.
"There's going to be about 39 to 40 full time jobs, as a result of this, the impact from that though is going to be enormous, just that alone," said Executive Director of the NJDCA, Melissa Orsen.
Officials say this project will be unique to Pleasantville and will cater to those who routinely travel by bus and on foot.
"We're trying to attract retail businesses, things like Starbucks, something like that that's going to attract people that walk back and forth through Main Street," said the Mayor.
And as crews work towards a summer of 2015 completion, city officials hope this project attracts future development.
"I think you'll start seeing other investors that will come in and invest in our downtown," said Jacqueline Amado-Belton, Director of Pleasantville Economic and Industrial Development.
Officials say the city center project has already created roughly 400 new construction jobs.

RPM media coverage from across the stateNEWS ARCHIVE
In 2013, the Historic Trust accepted the donation of a perpetual
preservation and conservation easement on this landmark building in
Woodbury (Gloucester County). The Green Building was listed on the New
Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places in 2001 for its significance
in the area of community development and its architectural significance as
a vernacular example of the Romanesque style applied to a commercial
building. The easement will protect the unique historic architectural
features, such as the windows, cornice and historic masonry, that contribute
to the building's significance.
Constructed in 1880 by prominent businessman George G. Green, the
impressive brick block in downtown Woodbury originally housed
commercial retail space, offices, meeting space and a 1,000-seat opera
house. The Green Block was the largest building in Woodbury and the
center of civic and cultural activity. Green amassed his fortune first through
the manufacture of patent medicines and then through successful business
enterprises throughout the county. He utilized his wealth locallyy to spur
Woodbury's development and support community welfare.
The opera house was converted to a movie theater,
active until its closure in 1955. When the interior was
converted to a large retail space, an incompatible false
front was installed on the second story exterior (right).
The building was vacated in 2000, and deteriorated to the
point that it was scheduled to be demolished in 2012.
RPM Development, LLC, however, realized the potential for this once
grand building and proposed a reuse plan for the block. Under the
guidance of the National Park Service and the New Jersey Historic
Preservation Office, the developer completed the restoration and
rehabilitation project in 2013. The project relied on a complex finance
package including low-income housing credit and federal investment tax
credits. Senior housing now occupies the upper floors of the structure,
while stores at the street level will again contribute to Woodbury's
downtown commerce.
The NJ Historic Trust holds the preservation easement, which was a
requirement on the part of city when the building was sold to the
developer. The easement insures that the G.G. Green Building remains a
landmark far into the future.
The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency (HMFA) Executive Director Anthony L. Marchetta recently joined City of Woodbury Mayor William J. Volk, elected state officials, and RPM Development Group to celebrate the grand opening of GG Green Senior Residences, a 55-unit senior rental community in the City of Woodbury, Gloucester County. The HMFA, an affiliate of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA), awarded the redevelopment project federal Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) that generated approximately $11.3 million in private equity. RPM Development Group, the developer for the project, has a history of adaptive reuse of historic structures with a goal to provide quality housing while aiming to improve neighborhoods.

I couldn't stand Massachusetts either, and was very glad to get out of there. I live in the south now, and never EVER have to shovel snow again, LOL.
In had a young friend who worked in Boston, she was the editor of a small womans magazine, she and her dad had a terribly tragic life .. she fought through that to get her own busines .. helped form a clinic for drug addicted girls .. help numerous people with money problems .. sadly she too lost her life to cancer last December after only three weeks in hospital at the age of 38. And although I am an old guy in the UK we somehow found each other and became friends via emails, and were going to meet this spring when she and her dad visited the UK, sadly that didn't happen, I only wish I could have visited Massachusetts just the once before she left us.

Banks' loans from Bangko Sentral up by 75%
Loans secured by banks from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas surged in the first two months of the year, as the historic-low interest rates encouraged borrowing activities.
Banks are expected to use the additional liquidity to serve the growing demand for credit from both corporate and individual borrowers.
Official data showed that peso-denominated loans extended to banks through the rediscounting facility of the BSP had reached P8.1 billion in January to February, up by 75 percent from P4.63 billion in the same months last year.
Dollar-denominated loans extended under the same facility reached $34.3 million, up by 72 percent from P19.9 million.
The rediscounting facility of the BSP is intended to support lending operations of banks. The amount extended to a borrowing bank is the discounted value of collectibles that serve as collateral.
The interest rates on the peso- and dollar-denominated loans stood at record lows of 3.5 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively.
The former was set equal to the BSP's key policy rate, which hit an all-time low last year following a series of rate reductions by the central bank's Monetary Board.
The rate cuts were meant to make loans cheaper, thus encourage consumers and enterprises to borrow. Policymakers said boosting domestic consumption and investments, which were aided by loans, would partly shield the Philippine economy from the adverse effects of global economic problems.
Last year, the Philippines expanded by 6.6 percent, exceeding targets, despite a weak global economy.
For this year, the government expects the economy to grow by 6 to 7 percent.
Officials said the banking sector would continue to support economic growth through lending. The BSP and industry players expect bank lending to post double-digit growth this year.
Officials said the substantial increase in loans tapped by banks from the BSP signaled the banks' intention to further boost their lending businesses. They said appetite for lending among banks remained significant given the favorable outlook on the economy.
The BSP earlier reported that outstanding loans from universal and commercial banks reached P3.24 trillion as of the end of 2012, up by 16.2 percent from P2.79 trillion a year ago.
In the meantime, robust lending activities in the country over the past few years have elicited concerns that the Philippine might be facing the risk of overheating.
The BSP, however, shrugged off these concerns, saying there remained a huge room for credit expansion in the country.
BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. earlier said that considering that banks were starting with a low base, they had the flexibility to maintain double-digit growth in lending without causing inflationary problems.
Credit-to-gross domestic product ratio in the Philippines, Tetangco said, stood at only about 30 percent (credit refers to outstanding loans from financial institutions). In some emerging economies, he said, the ratio exceeds 100 percent.

An award-winning Indian writer has been receiving threatening calls for criticising India's PM-elect Narendra Modi. A few months ago, UR Ananthamurthy had said that he would leave the country if Modi became India's PM.
The Kannada language writer told the BBC that he made the anti-Modi comments out of frustration, which he later retracted. After Modi's landslide victory in the election results, a Hindu hardline group, which calls itself NaMo Brigade, said Ananthamurthy should go to Pakistan.
The group added it had sent the writer a one-way ticket to Karachi for 17 May - a day after the vote count. Although Ananthamurthy denied receiving the ticket, he said he had received 'calls at odd hours threatening him and asking him to take the air ticket and go away to Pakistan'.
According to the report, Bangalore police commissioner Raghavendra Auradkar said the writer had 'orally communicated to them that he had received threat calls, adding that they have posted a police platoon at his residence for protection.

First Look: Alienware Alpha
11/30, 4:09am
Alienware Alpha punches well above its weight
The Dell Alienware Alpha is a micro-PC gaming console that has only just gone on sale recently. It was supposed to launch with Valve's Linux-based SteamOS, and is designed specifically as a gaming operating system to power "Steam Machines." However, the final release of the SteamOS has been delayed into 2015, and thus Dell has chosen to forge ahead with the release of its planned Steam Machine, running Windows 8.1 in the interim. As a micro-PC with console-style gaming in mind first and foremost, the system now ships an Xbox 360 controller rather than a Steam controller, and offers a makeshift Alien UI so that it doesn't require a keyboard and mouse to set up. Was it the right move to launch the Alienware Alpha without the vaunted SteamOS?

I am still in the Kindergarten Club
One Fine Day, Stepleton collection
Like a lot of struggles, the solution may just be a simple one. Organization is so simple yet if you waste time not putting things in order, then it can be exhausting to catch up. In painting, you need to collect yourself everyday. Just by doing it at the same time makes you conscious of bold habits, effective prayer time at the easel, virtually setting your mind to tasks. Some painters have joined the virtual social breakfast club, checking e mail and facebook every morning at the same time. I am one of them. I see that what they are up to and take note of the time, so I am calling us the "Early Morning Painters Club." Then we go into our studio and work, sometimes making posts during breaks, sometime posting problems paintings or just "lookeehere what I am doing" posts.
I wonder if they are still in their pajamas. I have been know to do some great pajama paintings.
Sometimes they post, "I am blank today, of ideas," then bingo sometimes kicks in, maybe after a walk. Creativity is endless, boundless, intensified by the doing. As the easel dance continues, idea and motifs form and give us clues to how to proceed. We can pat ourselves on the back after the day is ended and the wine is brought out. As I pour my glass, I wish I had a chart on my fridge like I had when my boys were little that contained gold stars for the doing of chores and tasks. I would give myself a red one today, very close the the old one of yesterday, just for an extra connection to the end of a painting.
I now can go to my social page and write about the stimulation and excitement, the beautiful calmness, a connection to the history of the past artists and the other early morning creators. We are connected by the task of cleaning up, by the smell of turps and mediums and the welcome procession of creative joy, If we stay organized we can have our mind working in perfect harmony with creating and cleaning up and doing it all over again each day. Like Kindergarten, they teach you do do your tasks everyday the same, and you complete your tasks well.... so much then, it becomes mindless. It's a miracle these days we can can proceed, and it is worth the aloneness. Oh..... and membership is free to the club.
"Boldness has genius, power and magic. Engage, and the mind grows heated. Begin and the work WILL be completed." Goethe

Celebrate the Earth's Gifts: Experience Vegan Recipes That Are As Easy to Eat As Prepare
"This is more than a vegetarian cookbook," Feral says, "It's a tribute to
the compassion of those who buy it, enjoy it, and share it. The vegan
philosophy -- meaning free of animal products -- embodies an ethical
commitment to live, as far as possible, in harmony with the planet and all its
Feral notes how it's a lot easier to maintain a vegan lifestyle with food
that not only is good for you, but tastes good as well. For example, the key
step in a traditional recipe for applesauce is sweetening it with natural
agave nectar. It's also easier to go beyond the tried and true with
entertaining, with such dishes as the Walnut Pear Salad with Celery Seed
Dressing, or a Tempeh London Broil.
Dining With Friends also draws on global influences, from Tofu Hummos with
Toasted Cumin Seed to the aromatic Arroz y Habichuelas (Puerto Rican Rice and
The book also caters to those intrigued by the raw foods movement or just
looking for something refreshing to drink, with such items as Spicy Hijiki
salad and Mint & Mango juice.
As noted in the Foreword by John Robbins, author of the bestsellers Diet
for a New World and The Food Revolution, "you can prepare and serve these

to bringing your meals into alignment with your sense of compassion."
But Feral maintains Dining With Friends shows this doesn't mean you have
to give up desirable foods, including lasagna, pesto and classic desserts,
like chocolate marble cheesecake and Key lime pie.
"It's also the best ethical response to human hunger, to our current
environmental predicament, and to respecting the other living beings with whom
we share the planet," Feral says. "Pure vegetarianism is an ethic without
borders -- between species or between peoples."

Did I mention I have a ton of cookbooks? LOL! For real though, I'll sit and browse through these before bed every night. I love to cook and these particular ones have soooooooooooooooo many family friendly and quick recipes. They're phenomenal! My stepson rolls his eyes when he sees me coming through the living room with my pile of cookbooks, because I look at them so much!
I have yet to get another one that I like, and it's "The Everyday Vegan".. or wait.. is it just the one that's titled "Everyday Vegan".. Hmm.. do any of you have that one errr,, those? How is it?

Book BlitzEarly reports indicate that 2008 will be a very vegan year. To wit, there are two vegan books in the top five of The New York Times bestseller list. As previously mentioned, Skinny Bitch in the Kitch is sitting pretty at number five, while the writing duo's first effort, Skinny Bitch, is right at the top at number one. While the Bitch's
successes are certainly noteworthy, they are hardly alone in the
record-breaking-and-making category. (See below for how to win your own
copy of Skinny Bitch in the Kitch!)Fellow VN columnist Robin Robertson's book Quick-Fix Vegetarian was recently awarded the title of Best New Cookbook
in PETA's 5th annual Proggy Awards. The book, which was published last
March, contains 150 dishes that are ready-to-eat in less than 30
minutes. In a year busting with vegan cookbook publications, this is a
big-time achievement. Congrats to Robin!Speaking of successful cooking manifestoes, there are three vegetarian cookbooks currently in the top ten bestseller list of Amazon.com.
If this isn't a harbinger of vegan greatness in the year to come, we
just don't know what is. Now that the market is primed and ready for a
deluge of fantastic animal-free feasts, it's the perfect time to get
out and pen that cookbook you've always wanted to write but never
thought would sell. Kudos to all the amazing authors, and here's to
more to come! For a quick refresher of the bounty of vegan
cookbook publication goodness that graced us in 2007, check out these

The Frozen Rabbi: Week 10, Part 1
Abandoned by his mentor, Bernie falls back on old habits
You couldn't have called it eavesdropping, since Bernie was standing by the open French doors in full view of his father and the rabbi in their parallel chairs. Still, he felt as if he were listening to things not meant for his ears. The experience revived the sense of being invisible that had plagued him for much of his life, though the self-inflicted curse seemed lately to have been lifted. Now, however, ignored by both father and mentor, he was hurt, resentful at being excluded from a project concerning which the two of them appeared to be suddenly as thick as thieves. How had this happened? And for that matter, how could Rabbi Eliezer plan to give away (for a price) the secrets that Bernie had struggled so hard to learn? He realized he was being selfish: The old holy man was a resource whose wisdom should be available to all. Certainly Bernie appreciated that the tzaddik was a repository of worldly as well as sacred learning, his knowledge recently expanded to include a lively critique of the modern age. Still, he couldn't shake his attitude that Rabbi Eliezer ben Zephyr belonged to Bernie Karp alone and that the worshipful spiritual program he'd imparted to the boy should stay in the family. Moreover, though he couldn't put his finger on it, Bernie felt there was something unkosher about marketing enlightenment in the same way a person might trade in used automobiles.
Days passed, and in the face of the frosty treatment by his mentor, Bernie fell back on old habits. Slothful again, he took to the rumpus room sofa; he abandoned his reading and thought often of abusing himself, though the admonition against Onan, who had "threshed on the inside and cast his seed without," stayed his hand for the time being. But now that school had resumed, he was eyeing the girls with a fish-eyed yearning, as fearful of them as ever. He was more fearful, in fact, since, now that he'd lost his flab and his acne had subsided, his face had taken on a little definition, and the girls for whom he'd been beneath contempt now looked at him with only mild disfavor. Now, when he stared at their blue-marble thighs beneath the hems of kicky skirts, their midriffs and jeweled navels, the butterfly tattoos fluttering out of low-slung waists, they might look back with a measure of curiosity. They noticed him in a way that caused Bernie to feel he'd finally shed his mantle of nonentity, which made his condition all the more disquieting and aggravated the desire, which in turn increased the ache.
Though Bernie's high school was situated in a tree-lined suburban neighborhood, its population comprised mostly of white kids from affluent families, it was nonetheless a purgatorial place. Neanderthal bullies built like brick incinerators body-checked you into lockers without warning, while preppies sporting the heraldic insignia of fraternal orders skewered you with a look. There were golden girls with their coteries of drab hangers-on; hipsters with dreadlocks and tie-dyed accessories reeking of weed, with spiked hair in primary colors, hardware piercing nostrils and lips like fish who've been caught and thrown back again. Young seductresses lured willing boys into the stalls of lavatories whose mounted cameras were rendered sightless by chewing gum; fledgling satyrs, their mouths shredded from entanglements with orthodontia, dragged dewy girls into the office of the guidance counselor, she herself having been sacked for inappropriate behavior with students. Having sleepwalked those chlorotic corridors from his tenderest years, Bernie, now in the eleventh grade, was alert to menace everywhere.
He no longer sought the company of those sad cases who fastened their belts just beneath their armpits and, belonging nowhere, belonged by default to each other; there was no refuge for an unaffiliated type such as Bernie Karp—not in homeroom, where the frazzled teacher's imminent breakdown was the subject of wagers, nor in the library study hall, where monitors patrolled the aisles like prison guards. On this particular afternoon in the library not long after the rabbi's return, Bernie was browsing—for want of Mosaic texts—aboriginal photos in a National Geographic magazine to avoid his Household Mechanics homework. (Tracked as a dullard on account of his feckless academic performance, he'd been sentenced to the gulag of vocational training.) As he glanced about in his boredom, careful not to make eye contact, Bernie's gaze lit on the notorious Patsy Bobo, seated at an adjacent table chewing the segmented tail of her peroxide braid. Her legs were slightly splayed under the table's surface to accommodate the spidery fingers of Scutter Eubanks, which were inching up her tender thigh beneath her skirt toward the juncture that was mystery incarnate.

Rep Power:
Even if its cast iron its still worth a few hundred. Thanks for the hint though. But the real value to me is the two good winches, four opening ports, anchor and rode, the mast is the exact same length as mine so if its in good shape i will switch since my masthead fitting is junk... i hate cutting up an old boat, but the decks are rotten the rudder is gone and there is no motor or sails... so there is no way she will ever be worth fixing. Especially with the reputation for poor build quality to start with. I can move her with my pickup and trailer and they are going to load her for free so hopefully i will not have to much into her. I have actually run across 2 other free boats in my area but they were both to pretty and rare for me to cut up... this one is way past gone though

Is life sweet? Yes, it is, according to Mike Leigh, the director of the award winning 1991 British film, "Life is Sweet."
This film is not about the genteel Britain of "Upstairs, Downstairs" or Jane Austen, but is a raw, edgy and darkly comedic film about a working class family in contemporary London suburbia.
Each family member is highly quirky, from the chirpy, continuously joking mother, brilliantly played by Alison Steadman, to the suffering, disturbed and confused bulimic twin daughter portrayed by the award winning actress Jane Horrocks. In between are the cheerful and fuzzy brained dad Andy (Jim Broadbent) and the very together other twin daughter played by Claire Skinner.
The food themes that run throughout the movie are metaphors for their lives and relationships. Andy, a chef in a large hotel, is persuaded while under the influence of his regular pub mate, to buy a completely derelict food van.
Meanwhile, Wendy, the mom, who already teaches little girls dance and works in a used children's clothing store, takes on yet another part time job helping out at the family friend's new French restaurant, which offers one of the weirdest menus ever concocted in a bizarrely decorated premises.

Lower Tension

Yep, the only thing with tuning your ball pocketing capability of the string/racquet combo is that your racquet head speed also plays a part in that, so depending on the speed of the strings pocketing an incoming ball and recoiling it back off the string bed, you must NOT over accelerate beyond that specific sweet point. If you do, you'll have no power and the shots may be off a bit from where you wanted them to go.
It's hard to put into words, but have you ever swung faster than normal and not had more power into a shot than you did when you didn't try so hard? That's overdriving the capability of the string/racquet setup. If it's not a smooth properly timed motion, it won't work right. This is actually one of the main reasons why pros with very hit RHS will string higher... to make sure that the responsiveness is there from the string bed on faster strokes.
Something to think about... tension based on your swing speed, not what the racquet manufacturer wants you to string at for the specific stick.

Oh, I'm not myself
My God, what have you done?
Oh, the memories of them keep coming home...
Oh, I'm not myself
My God, what have you done?
Oh, the memories of them keep coming home...
Writing this blob thingy when I should be working on my essay but I don't want to do that it's boring. I need seven pages yet only have four done at the moment. Why I felt the need to post this is beyond me but please anyone who reads this can make up their own crazy theories. Wait! Did someone say Resident Evil? Oh I could write a billion pages on that which I think I may do one day especially since Rebecca and Barry are DLC now…which reminds me I need MS points and a Gold card…blame it on college textbooks.
So I'll leave with a picture of Chris Redfield and his big fish.
As of today I have unlocked 50 out of the 50 achievements for Resident Evil 5, I am not counting the DLC ones. So what, right? Well it is my first game that I actually set out to unlock all of the achievements for, that is why I am so excited. Trust me if it was not a Resident Evil game I would not have even bothered.
Resident Evil at one point was more than just a game it was my life. It's sad but I liked it that way, of course I was younger and didn't have as many responsibilities like I do now. Enough of this boring crap, let's get to the point. Why Resident Evil is awesome and I dare say one of the best video game series.
The first Resident Evil (RE) game I played was RE Code Veronica X for the PS2. I don't even know why I picked it up maybe I was curious to try one of these so called "survival horror" games. It didn't even dawn on me that Code Veronica X was actually the fourth game in the series. What I do remember is being in awe at the awesome opening video with its awesome graphics and music. For those unfamiliar with the game you start out as Claire Redfield who is imprisoned on Rockfort Island. Was I scared? Hell YES! I don't think I even finished the game for a while I had to have my braver brother finish it. Was I actually scared? When I think back I would say I wasn't. I think my apprehension comes from the surprise element and not knowing what to do or where to go when some monster suddenly pops out from behind a wall.
What this game did though was start my appetite for more games like it. So naturally I hunted down the older games and played them. I soon became engrossed with the rich universe that Capcom created. I wanted to know more about Chris Redfield and how Umbrella came to power. Raccoon City even became a place I wanted to go too (It's alright you can think I'm crazy because I was). I guess the reason why I became close to the series was that it was there when I needed to escape from my personnel troubles (I know what troubles could a 14 year old be having?) Oh and to top off my craziness I even wrote fan fiction, no genre was safe from my creative mind. Yes there were stories about Wesker and Rebecca going to Burger King and Chris Redfield and Barry Burton admitting their love for one another. No one was safe.
Fast forward a year or two and it happened. I got my GameCube for Christmas and I went to my local Blockbuster and bought Resident Evil (the remake). I didn't have a memory card, which I stupidly forgot to buy. Anyway I played some of it and boy was I scared it was like revisiting an old friend only to find out they changed and add some new rooms. When I did get a memory card I was too scared not scared but it should felt like fear to actually play the game. I did eventually and it was awesome. I soon got addicted to speedruns. Many nights wasted trying to beat my record of 1:45:38 seconds. I know it's not the fastest but I'm proud of my time, so there! Next were the Outbreak series. They were okay nothing too great as I never had the chance to go online with them, which I'm sure would be fun.
Now came my hate Resident Evil 4 for the GameCube. I wanted the original one that was scraped not this flashy Hollywood cheese fest that it was. Now I played these games for story. Yes that is true they happen to have a very though provoking stories up there with Metal Gear Solid. Now I never actually played four I've seen it completed enough times to say the story sucked. My real complaints were with the controls. They weren't the greatest like some would say but instead horrible. The GameCube controller is not the greatest to begin with anyway. Ada Wong returning was a good twist for a while, but the whole game was far fetched. The castle was the size of Spain, the locations didn't fit the game at all and there is so much more which I will save for another time maybe in the next blog I will try to go into more detail. This brings me to Resident Evil 5, which I will save for another time as my time with it was filled with awe and disappointment.
"That's right! JonRedfield is proud to present Jon the blog man Redfield!"
Now what to write about. I don't have many friends on here. I believe I have three but again that's my fault still new to the site even though I've been here for what eight months.
First I have to give a shout out to da Plumma for getting me off my butt and into the world of Xbox Live (although I tend to suck at all forms of multiplayer games).
Still I think, "what should I blog about?" My answer is "I don't know" I could blog about how awesome Resident Evil 5 is. Ok I think that's what I will write about. Resident Evil was my first love and will defend it against those RE4 noobs (the ones that complain about the older games cause of the "bad" camera. Ha! I dislike RE4 so all you RE4 noobs can go back to playing your Leon Kennedy wet dream (WTF? It just sprang up in my head) It's late while I write so forgive the craziness. Back to RE5, it is sex, pure and simple I want to make babies with it while on Chris Redfield's biceps. The story of past games may have been weak but not for me. In school when I had nothing to do I would write about the different viruses and what they did and who made them. Obsessed? Yes I was and still am.
RE saved my life. Not really but in a way it did (why do I write these blogs when no one will read them is beyond me but it makes me feel good). Back in middle school and to this day I don't have many friends I have a few, like two (you know who you are. Well, one will know the other doesn't even come to GameSpot and was sadly a high school acquaintance though we did go to Bravo Burger once before they tore it down). Anyway so I was never much of a gamer sure I had the n64 and what not, never owned a PSX did get a PS2 and Resident Evil thus saved my life and brought me into the world of hardcore gaming.
Back to RE5, at first I was disappointed at the fact that appears to play exactly like RE4 (ugh) I didn't care for RE4 but whatever I'll live as long as Wesker is still badass and Jill is a sandwich. Another thing for the love of god someone please bring back BARRY!!! He is a lovable bear that was misunderstood and needs to appear to redeem himself to us gamers. Rebecca I could do without but she is a RE character so she can come back (for a bit). Sherry? What happed with her? And Steve? Will we ever know? I shiver with antici...pation at the thought of these answers.
Should I write more? Maybe tomorrow in the mean time it's off to read A Clash of Kings (damn you Lannisters!!!! And long live the King in the North!!!!) Damn I'm such a nerd.
I'm Bored right now so I thought I'd write this blog about the MGS4 soundtrack. From the tracks I listened to so far I can say that this OST is great! That's right might be the best one so far. The Love Theme is a slow but emotionally driven piece that tugs at the heart strings, it's so beautiful and they way it sounds makes it appear that someone will die. Snake? I hope not. The other pieces are great most of them I listened to are from past trailers but I have listened to some newer ones and they are epic in scope. I'm I listening to a video game soundtrack or a Hollywood blockbuster soundtrack? The pieces are that good. Where these tracks are in the game is what I want to find out. As with the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack, the MGS4 OST can present the story through music. Well I'm done for today lol. I expected it to be longer but I'll probably just keep saying how great it is.
I love Metal Gear. Duh. Its sad for me to admit that i probably watched all the MGS4 trailers like 20 times each, I can't help it! They're so good! Last night I finally remembered how I came to love MGS. It was August of 07 and my brother was watching the first MGS4 trailer I on the other hand was playing a game. What caught my attention? The music did that sad Middle Eastern sounding music gave me goose bumps. Afterwards I logged on to Gamespot and watched all the trailers desperate for more. I had to play this series from the beginning, though I did watch my brother play MGS2 and I could not get the graphics out of my head; at the time I thought they were the greatest I have ever seen.
Truthfully I don't have friends; I guess I could say as Naked Snake once said "I've never been interested in other people's lives." Sad but to some extent true. I can bear to be alone for so long but I do get depressed quite often, no I am not emo. A funny story that I will save for another time. Playing games though takes my mind off of these troubled times. When I play MGS I can escape into a world with larger than life heroes and out of this world villains. The cut scenes are another reason I love MGS. These movies are great, we just need more of these and less codec ones. I don't hate the codec parts it's just that they can drag on. I even dress up as Snake for ummm no reason in particular. I did dress as a RPD S.T.A.R.S member from Resident Evil at school one time. Back to MGS the motives for the characters hit close to home with me especially with Solid Snake and his reasons for fighting we all need to fight for what we believe in.
June 12th is fast approaching and I cannot wait to get my hands on MGS4 like many others. Hopefull everything will be revealed and I hope Kojima-san leaves a plot twist after the end credits are finished.
This blog is shorter but more personal than I expected but there will be more to come...
I, like many others love the Metal Gear series of games. Metal Gear is great no better than great the games are art. That's right ART! My love for Metal Gear is somewhat new I first found the series or should I say the series found me in September of 07. I played and completed MGS: Twin Snakes in a day and the next day started MGS2: Sons of Liberty. I cannot believe how awesome these games were. The next week I started MGS3: Snake Eater. This is my favorite game ever! First game to make me cry (not afraid to admit that). For the curious it was the torture scene with Volgin and Naked Snake. The character development in that game was great, it made me care about the characters. It was the best eleven hours of my life. I hate to admit this but I played all MGS games on Very Easy (I play for the story!) Call me noob I probably deserve that.
What I like most about MGS? I ask myself. The best part is its complicated story and awsome characters. Who could forget Sniper Wolf or Liquid Ocelot or The Joy! If you have no idea who these people are you need to go PLAY METAL GEAR SOLID! It also provided a nice distraction from high school. Am I a Raiden hater. No I am not, I happen to enjoy the addition of Raiden who has no idea of what to fight for.
I don't even know why I am writing this? Who is even going to read this? After all I am just a Level 5 noob! I hate writing on forums I don't why but my love for MGS has compelled me to come here and write about why I love Metal Gear! Maybe I will even meet fellow fans or not. Back to Metal Gear. MGS also covers topics that are relevant today such as nuclear weapons, censorship and even PMCs from MGS4. I was speechless after listening to codec segment in MGS2 when Rose talks about "truth" which what you tell yourself to be true. Rose you are so right! I could go on and on about why Metal Gear Solid and all other Metal Gear games are great but I guess I will continue this discussion at a later time.
Please ignore the grammar mistakes commas and such scare me.

Sweet Spot: Low-Fat Lemon Yogurt Cake
I may have found the most versatile, low-fat cake recipe available. But to be honest, it's not really much of a recipe, but, rather, a guideline for how to make this low-fat cake.
The base for this type of cake starts with three simple ingredients: cake mix, Greek yogurt and water. That is all you really need to make this creamy, moist and — perhaps best of all — low-fat dessert.
You could stop at those three ingredients and be done with it. But for this Lemon Yogurt Cake, we have added lemon zest and juice for a refreshing kick of real lemon.
A sprinkling of powdered sugar and a dollop of light whipped topping add a little something extra to this dessert, but the shining star certainly is the moist cake you'll find underneath those extras. The creaminess of the Greek yogurt takes the place of the egg and oil that you would use in an ordinary cake mix cake.
The flavor possibilities are almost endless with this ingredient trio. Try it with vanilla cake mix, orange juice and orange zest for a dreamsicle cake. Or for a fresh strawberry cake, try adding chopped strawberries. You could even try using flavored Greek yogurt in place of plain yogurt.
Now with the cake mix boxes in my pantry I have a lot of flavors to experiment with.

I posted this over on The Chain Gang forum
I was looking for some good info on upgrades to the XChallenge and really didn't find much info about gearing, heated grips, etc. so I thought I'd post my experiences for others.
Heated Handgrips:
I ended up going with the cheapo $25 snowmobile sticky heated elements. A couple issues came to light.
1) There is no good place to mount the switch so I ended up fabbing a bent metal piece to bolt onto the upper left instrument cluster bolt.
2) The accelerator tube under right grip has a crazy contour to and hence the heated element doesn't adhere smoothly.
3) The left grip has much thicker rubber than the right grip AND I ended up placing the heated element right on the aluminum bar. The result is a less hot left grip. I have a KTM friend who did similar grips and used insulated tubing on the metal of the bar and adhered the heated element to that. He says that makes the grip much hotter due to the insulated metal.
The bottom line: For $25 and some time it could be worse :) All in all I think that insulating the left bar and using different equal thickness grips would make the install work perfectly. Right now it's just okay.
Lower gearing:
I decided to lower the gearing to get a little more squirt and a lower first gear for the slow tight stuff. I ended up buying the 14T front sprocket from Touratech-USA. The installation is easy to do if you have the few necessary tools. (3) bolts to remove the front pinion cover, a breaker bar or big ratchet to remove the front pinion bolt, a smooth screwdriver or hub puller to ease off the front sprocket, and a couple wrenches to loosen/adjust the rear wheel. It took about 20 minutes of futzing and thinking about it as I had no instructions as to the exact process. Easy.
The results are just as I expected. Generally quicker feeling, nicely lowered gearing for slower speeds down hills. My only negative thoughts on it is that the bike of course is a little more wound up at 75-80 mph on the freeway, and that my TKC 80 Continentals may not have enough grip in the loose and muddy stuff to warrant lower gearing. All in all I'm happy with the upgrade and it's easy enough to swap back and forth that I'd recommend it for anybody that wants a little 'more'.

The Superior Court's recent decision in Vietri v. Delaware Valley High School, No. 648 EDA 012 (March 22, 2013), brings into sharp focus the intricacies of Pennsylvania post-trial practice and the need to proceed cautiously in preserving appellate rights.
The case features a complicated procedural history, initially stemming from the plaintiff's incorrect filing of a post-trial motion after the trial court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendant. The plaintiff also filed a timely notice of appeal. By letter to the plaintiff's counsel, the Superior Court expressed concern over its jurisdiction, noting that the post-trial motion remained outstanding and that an appeal may not be taken until a valid post-trial motion has been decided. The letter did not address whether the post-trial motion had in fact been properly filed. The appellant's counsel failed to respond to the Superior Court's letter, and the Superior Court quashed the appeal.

Forecast: Cold start turns into pleasant day, but rainy weekend ahead
It will be a cold, frosty start to people in East Tennessee Friday morning, with some portions of the upper elevations in the Great Smoky Mountains even under a freeze warning.
Those cool temps should give way to a beautiful day, however, with sunny skies and a high in the low 70s.
A line of showers will move into the area Friday night, though, bringing a 70 percent chance of rain on Saturday and an 80 percent chance of rain on Sunday, with thunderstorms possible.
Temperatures both days will peak in the low-to-mid-60s, with overnight lows in the mid-to-upper-50s.
The chance of rain diminishes at the start of next week, when highs will start to approach 80 and lows will be around 60 for the last few days of April.

Alice Albinia, through Indus, tells one of the most fascinating stories in history — the journey upriver and the myths and legends that are interwoven into its winding path. As she follows the river upstream, it becomes a journey back in time.
In Empires of the Indus: The Story of a River, each chapter deals with a particular historical period and begins with an apt quote from a text from that period. We come across stories of Buddha, Alexander the Great, the Chinese traveller Xuanzang, and even people from the Stone Age.
Albinia also highlights the significance of the river in India's history.
Albinia's descriptive writing and style adds more colour to the book. It gives us a glimpse of history through the story of a river.

I was wondering if anyone is aware of any existing literature on the arithmetic function defined as $$f(n):=2^{\omega(n)}\tau(n).$$ Here $\omega(n)$ is the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$ and $\tau(n)$ is the number of divisors of $n$. In particular, I am interested in the behavior of $$\sum_{d \mid n}f(d)$$

How did Murkowski win? Go figure
Lisa Murkowski is the first to win a write-in campaign for the U.S. Senate in more than half a century. But that's not the important part.

That's the explanation Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski gives for why, against her party's wishes, she waged a write-in campaign to hang on to her U.S. Senate seat.
Bachmann steps aside, avoids House Republican-Tea Party tussle
There will be no showdown at the GOP corral. (For now anyway).
Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a Tea Party potentate, decided to step out of the ring . And so evaporated the potential for a high-profile internal duel for House Republican Conference chair, the fourth highest position.
Will spelling count in Alaska write-in ballot count?

By most definitions, AMD's Radeon HD 6900 graphics cards are powerful, but for those who are looking to push huge resolutions, a little more oomph might be desired. That's where multi-GPU configurations come in, and to see what AMD's latest are capable of, we've tested out both the HD 6950 and HD 6970 in CrossFireX.
While Futuremark is a well-established name where PC benchmarking is concerned, Unigine is just beginning to become exposed to people. The company's main focus isn't benchmarks, but rather its cross-platform game engine which it licenses out to other developers, and also its own games, such as a gorgeous post-apocalytic oil strategy game. The company's benchmarks are simply a by-product of its game engine.
The biggest reason that the company's "Heaven" benchmark grew in popularity rather quickly is that both AMD and NVIDIA promoted it for its heavy use of tessellation, a key DirectX 11 feature. Like 3DMark Vantage, the benchmark here is overkill by design, so results here aren't going to directly correlate with real gameplay. Rather, they showcase which card models can better handle both DX11 and its GPU-bogging features.
Rounding off our performance here, the CrossFireX configurations deliver quite nicely. AMD's HD 6800 series boosted up tessellation performance a fair bit, and in CrossFireX, we managed to see extremely nice framerates even at 2560×1600.

Catch it and they will cook it better than you ever could! We took 9 small Rainbow Trout in for dinner last weekend. They have three different ways to cook them, so we elected to split them up so we'd all get one of each. OMGosh, they were DELICIOUS! Fried, Grilled and Blacken. The fried was cooked in a very light, but flaky batter. Grilled had the smoky flavor, while the Blacken was seasoned just right. MMMMMM Good!
You pay for a regular meal and get soup or salad, Baked potatoes, rice or a medley of veggies.
I had the salad and veggies with my meal. All were excellent. Service was great. People around us actually came over to see our catch all cooked up! Staff up front were sweet as can be and very helpful to ensure we were satisfied.
They three of us were pleasantly surprised and very happy with our selection of sides to go with the outstanding Trout we had brought in.
