"This hotel location really works for me, as I regularly visit an office near Victoria station. It's about 1 minute walk to Victoria, and 15 minutes walk to Big Ben. Staff are really friendly and social. Room is small but contemporary, clean and well thought out. Bed really comfy. I love the cheese and wine 'party' held every evening :o) Great value, excellent hotel in central London. I'll be back...again."

When booking i requested a high floor with a view as it was my wifes birthday ,[ You dont ask you don't get.] Surprise, we were upgraded to the top floor with a view of Tower Bridge. The hotel is very nice. The staff could not do enough for you from the doorman ,reception and restaurant staff. 4 Star yes."
"The hotel is centrally located beside the Tower of London and only 8 miles from London City Airport. The hotel's rooftop bar is worth visiting and boasts great views of London Tower and bridge."
"The bed was comfortable and the room was really spacious. The hotel is located in a nice district, although it takes 10-15 minutes to get to the nearest train station (Crystal Palace). There is a number of old-fashioned pubs and good-value-for-money restaurants. It takes a 30-50 to get to the city center, but there are direct trains to London Bridge and London Victoria."

Is Microsoft's Xbox 360 studio Rare next on the chopping block?
A couple of days ago I wrote a story about how Microsoft announced the closure of one of its first party studio, Ensemble Studios. The stated reason behind this decision to close one of its studios was due to lack of scalability. In other words, Microsoft execs felt that Ensemble as a venture could not grow profitably. This raises an interesting question; could the same fate fall upon Rare as well?
In the internal memo sent out by Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Game Studios, he said "it became clear to us that closing the studio and redeploying those resources to other more scalable ventures is the right thing for our business at this time." A scalable venture is usually when the effort remains relatively the same while the consumer demand increases exponentially.
Apparently, even though Ensemble's Age series was profitable, Microsoft execs felt it wasn't scalable enough. Age of Empires III was listed as the 8th best selling PC game and went on to selling over 2 million units. It seems the strategy to shift Microsoft's portfolio towards the casual market is clear. The redesigned dashboard for the Xbox 360 is telling of this move.
In an interview with the Guardian, Peter Moore, former exec of Microsoft Game Studios (MGS), said:
"I think the industry had passed Rare by, … It's a strong statement, but what they were good at, new consumers didn't care about anymore.. their skillsets were from a different time and a different place and were not applicable in today's market."
Moore makes it pretty clear in this candid interview what he thinks of Rare. One could assume if Peter Moore was still the head of MGS, Rare might be facing a similar fate as that of Ensemble Studios. However, Moore is no longer in charge of MGS, leaving Phil Spencer to make the decision.
In an interview with Shacknews, Greg Mayles, Rare creative director, revealed his feelings about the comments made by Peter Moore. He also talks about his reaction to the news of Ensemble Studios's closure.
Mayles seems to have taken a very neutral approach by indicating that he doesn't want to read too much into what Peter Moore meant in the interview. Also, Mayles revealed that the closure of Ensemble Studios was as out of left field for him as it was to everyone else.
When asked how he reacted to the news, he said:
"Surprise like everybody else. I mean we kind of don't know the exact details. There must have been a good reason behind it."
Mayles also revealed that he is a bit concerned about the future of Rare, but feels that could be a great motivational driving force for him to develop the best game possible.
He said:
"Eh, I think if you feel too secure that's kind of a–that's a bad thing, because you get into kind of a comfy mode. We're always trying to push what's possible and think of new ways of doing things, and kind of look at ourselves and the games we do. Whether people want to play them is ultimately how we'll be judged, and how people will look back on us in years to come."
With Rare's next big title, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, getting ready to launch in November it is understandable to be a little bit nervous, especially in light of recent events. We will be keeping a close eye on this upcoming title to see if this push will be the saving grace for Rare.

Hi. I am stuck. I'm putting a freshly rebuilt vnl3m (s/n 100.783) into my old VBB. The motor I got has no stator or fly and my old 6v VBB one doesn't fit (wrong taper etc).
So I thought well I have to spend some more money but then again now's a great time to upgrade to electronic ignition.
I contacted the seller who had bought some lot of parts and he said he believed he had a stator and fly from my engine. He found what he thinks was on it but it is points and possibly maybe even a circlip style flywheel. However he did say this flywheel (ducati) was compatible with both points (lobe) and cdi statora if I chose to get an elec stator).
Would love to but what kind? Ts is an uncommon model. Does it use older style or straight
Up modern p style stators and flys?
He offered the pair (points sator and fly) for about $80. Great price but I want cdi not points. (can this stator be easily
Meanwhile another contact offers me just the stator (p125 electronic
Kind) for $110. Sounds good but then ive already spent more than the first option and I still
Need The right flywheel. Which is what for a
And in the background I'm aware that scootrs sells complete kits for about 200. Just not sure which
Kit for a ts on their site?
So help: any info on the TS and how I can convert it to use electronic ignition?
For any info. Illuminating, or otherwise.

I've just started getting back into Allds as a part-time game, since I don't really have time to sink into my favorites anymore (EQ2, Vanguard, and WAR) what with work and all.
So, I'm now reading that people spend upwards of... what was it... 5000$ for runes in Allods? This really seems like one of those made-up numbers that people use for fearmongering. I can't see anything in the CS that costs more than about 20-30$.
So, in the grand scheme of things, how much would it cost to level up and participate in some endgame PvE and airship battles? I want real numbers from real Allods endgamers, not mmorpg.com trolls who will jsut say OMFG IT'S P2WIN YOU MUST SPEND 60,000$ TO BE COMPETITIVE.
So, please.
Real average cost?

MMORPGs are no longer about the mass multi-user
That $5000 might be a bit overdone, but the runes are a pain (in the wallet) indeed. IIRC, you can level runes up to 13. Each one needs more stones than the one before. Then you can add runes to weapon, shirt, blause and (I thought) gloves and boots. So for a total of 5 slots you can add lvl 13 runes. Lets say each level of a rune costs you $20, so your whole set on level 13 runes will be $1300 *shocked*
Sad thing is, there are actually ppl spending this much on a "F2P" game...

why would it matter if you needed to pay $1000 or $10000. the fact that you're willing to spend for f2p games to that extent is what's causing the companies to have such crappy CS. but anyway, you wouldn't even spend near that much for a p2p. say if you play a p2p every month for 3 years. thats like 15 x 12 x 3 = $540. the difference is that you acutally play a quality game.
Each level of runes doesn't cost $20, far from it. To make a rune one level higher you need 2 runes of the level below it and then combine those with more and more crystal chips. So roughly the cost is about 2,5 times the cost of the runes the level below (at bit less probably but not that much).
6 level 4 runes you can get for $30, 6 level 5 runes are about $75, you're looking at around $200 for level 6's, which is endgame requirement if you want to avoid being oneshot by the higher bosses.
You can see where this is going right? Each level will let you deal 10% more damage and healing and reduce the damage you take by something in the same order. So if you just forked over close to $500 for level 7's and you run into a 8/9 though luck you'll lose, though you might make it two to one. Now if your idea of fun is killing lowbies then you'll be plenty strong with level 7 runes, but you'd better run when some well runed guy comes to their aid. Even level 6 is good, but you'll just have to domore running when help shows up.
The highest level runes in the game are 11-12 at the moment. If you want to get into a game where you'll be forced to fork over an exponential amount of money to get and stay ahead, then this is it.
There are of course things like a larger bank and more bagspace, mounts and mount feed and what not. But if you really had to you could almost do without all that, the runes however are unavoidable.
These prices are just insane. The end-game is obviously the cash shop. What is the point of playing? To beat people up with your wallet?

So my question is where are these dollar figures coming from? I'm new to the game and trying to figure it all out... the rest of the cash shop items that I would be interested in (talent/skill resets, bag space) are all optional and i'd hardly use them, but the runes have my confused.
Just reading though this, there's the 525 Gpotatoes for the engraving kits (that's $5.25)
Crystal Chips and Gold Dust, are they obtainable ingame or only through the cash shop? Are the runes themselves ONLY obtainable through the cash shop? Or is there some point where you can only get certain level runes through the CS?
I guess my question is are these dollar figures you guys are spouting for people who want to put in 0 farming to get these runes? I read on another thread that you could get to level 6 runes without putting any actual cash into the game.

Let em put a slave ring thru u're nose u're prob not going to like where they're taking you. Think.
It is true f2p games cost more than p2p games. You have to watch you wallet. They suck you in the same way a slot machine in Vagas pulls in little old ladies. Be true to yourself and ask yourself often, "How much am I spending on this game?" "Is it worth it or is there a p2p game I passed up that I would rather of played?"
In my personal expirience I spent $40 on Fiesta (f2p) in less than two weeks and quit because of it. I will never let myself do that again. Now I subscribe to RIFT and really like the game. But I also play Mabinogi (f2p) and continue to buy pets. I feel Mabinogi was a very unusual game and I'm proud to help fund it because of it's unique music leveling that I've never seen anywhere. That was one case where f2p was worth the $$$ to me.
But f2p is never truly free.

thank you for this thread. I am avoiding these "free to play" models that cost more than pay to play.
i played a game once where they had a cash shop item where you would right click on the item and have the potential to get a godly item.
a friend of mine spent almost 900 dollars, got evicted and went into debt.
Pay to play games are safer and more reliable. I was looking into this game but will turn away solely because of this. Sad that companies are ripping people off with the "idea" of a free to play game. I played atlantica for a while and reliazed i spent 40 dollars in a month on it after that , i am really just avoiding these cash shop games.

Not being funny but all that some of these posts are saying to me is that people can't control their spending and can't hack just having fun even if it means being second best.
All these anecdotal quotes about a friend who spent loads and had problems etc, show me that if it hadn't been a game causing financial problems it would have been something else that hooked them.
I play Allods because its fun and because I like the feel of it. I haven't spent a single quid. More bag space might be in the offing and a mount maybe just so I can move around quicker. If it gets to the point where I no longer enjoy it for whatever reason be it financial or its just crap then I will just move on as there are plenty of other time wasters out there.
PC games cost about £30 a pop and I have played this game longer than anything I have bought from Steam. Allods saves me about £30 to £60 a month by stopping me from purchasing short term crap that passes itself off for a game these days.
People seem to forget that if someone feels thay have to spend hundreds or even thousands on a game, if that game vanished they would still spend the same amount of cash on something else.
Financial irresponsibility is not the games fault.

Personally, and this is just me, if it is going to cost above a certain limit I just walk away and find something else. A game is not my life and does not rule it. It is a temporary distraction that helps me relax and have fun for a finite period of time. If Allods end game is"truly" like that then I will play until I get bored and leave for something else.
Maybe if everybody did that instead of being "forced" to pay then the company would change its tune with regards to its cash shop model.
Again I state "Financial irresponsibility is not the games fault".

When I played it once 2010 you could play it for free but you needed atleast 5€ for something I cant remember right now. Some guys told me that you have to spent around 10-14€ in order to get along well.

Because of these idiots who buy into the idea of being #1 through money, as opposed to working for it, we all have to suffer. I mean honestly, if you were the owner of this game, and you saw how much bank you could make by exploiting stupid kids, you would do it too.

well I've pretty much stopped playing them for a while anyway. PC games seem to be of higher quality and I don't expect to ragequit on them.

There's a history to it, developer went bankrupt, game bought bu mail.ru, turned the game into forced2pay, around 80 percent of players ragequit. They saw they overdid it with the monetisation thing, made more and more things free again and the game is slowly recovering from this attempted hold-up turned into a near genocide.
With the latest patch gold is easier to obtain too, if you're high level. If you don't have a credit card, but do have lots of time on your hands, you should be able to make it all the way to endgame. Kirah and Isle of Revelation will make your life easier than it used to be when there was only GT or even Gipat (blech). There is more to do now, but a lot of that comes from dialy quests. If you also dislike dailies, well then levelling all the way won't be to your liking.

The most important piece of equipment
Before we left Hawaii our friends in the Ala Wai had lots of advice about what we needed. One was even interviewed later, after we had been reported overdue at our destination, and told how he had advised us not to leave without a SSB set. Advice we chose not to follow for our own reasons. Most of our friends were concerned that we would not be able to call for help or check in with family and friends during our Northward crossing of the Pacific to Puget Sound. They thought we should carry a satelite phone, SSB or even a ham set or have some sort of email capability. But we considered an EPIRB and VHF adequate.
Our crossing should have taken 28 to 36 days. There has been at least one crossing by a sistership to our Lealea in just 26 days. We made our landfall at Tatoosh island on day 55. We had been reported overdue and some of our friends and relatives were concerned, especially when the Coast Guard called them for information about our plans and our vessel, but those who know us and our experience and our boat were not worried.
The most important piece of equipment? I had balked at the expense knowing that nearly all of the accounts I had read of past voyages by others in similar boats had been made without it. My wife and First Mate pursuaded me, however, and so I installed the Powersurvivor 40E watermaker a few days before we left. We carried 45 gallons of fresh water in the main tank and in five gallon jugs; a heavy load for our Vega 27. It would have been enough for a normal passage and possibly even for our longer-than-planned 55 day voyage. But the water maker made the difference between peace of mind and high anxiety or worse.
We arrived at Neah Bay with six gallons left in the main tank, never having had to conserve even a little bit on water use. In fact, once we realized that the watermaker would easily provide our needs, we made a point of using up the water in the jugs to lighten the load. We ran the watermaker for two to two and a half hours every other day to fill our day use tank without seriously draining our house batteries which were kept charged by solar panels and occasionally running the engine.
We do not regret not having nor do we plan to install any more sophisticated long range communication equipment. That does not mean that others should not do so. We do however consider the ability to survive on our own more important than the ability to call for help or talk to friends and relatives while at sea. Though my mother in law disagrees
I posted nother thread about our trip in the General Discussion forum but didn't mention the water maker there.

The U.S. economy still needs help from the Federal Reserve's low interest rate policies, Chairman Ben Bernanke said here on Wednesday.
Mr. Bernanke told the National Bureau of Economic Research that because unemployment remained high and inflation was below the Fed's target, the policies were still necessary. He also said the economy was also being held back by higher taxes and federal spending cuts.
"If you put all of that together, you can only conclude that highly accommodative monetary policy for the foreseeable future is what is needed for the U.S. economy," Mr. Bernanke said.
Bernanke's comments were his latest effort to stress that the Fed would continue to stimulate the economy, even after it began to slow its bond purchases. The Fed planned to keep its investment holdings constant to avoid causing long-term rates to rise too quickly. It also planned to keep short-term rates at record lows.
And, Mr. Bernanke has said 6.5 per cent unemployment is a threshold, not a trigger — The Fed might decide to keep its benchmark short-term rate near zero even after unemployment falls that low.
Unemployment is now 7.6 per cent.
On Wednesday, Mr. Bernanke didn't signal any changes in the Fed's bond-buying programmes, which have kept long-term interest rates low and encouraged more borrowing and spending. But he defended the recent comments he made after the Fed's June meeting .
Mr. Bernanke had earlier said the Fed would likely slow its bond purchases later this year and end them around mid-2014 if the economy continued to strengthen.

I use this as a shampoo, and my hair has never been healthier. I use maybe a couple teaspoons diluted with lots of water, and just pour it on my head, and then scrub. I have fine and thin hair that I almost never use heat on, and this cleans my hair well without leaving residue or weighing my hair down. Would definitely recommend for similar hair types.

I have been using this stuff more often than my regular bodywash. I love the warm scent of the almond. A little goes a long way with this stuff and it suds up really nicely. I use a just a little squirt on my loofa and its super suds. It cleans my skin nicely and doesnt leave it dry when I dry off.
I've used it as a shampoo in a pinch but it has a tendency to strip the hair yet leaves it super clean. I normally add a light conditioner to my hair starting at the base of the head and it makes it easier for combing.
This stuff has other uses such as cleaning which I havent tried yet. I do love it makes my skin clean and soft. I cant wait to try out the Rose next.

I just started using Dr. Bronner's Almond Castille Soap, and I wish I had known about it a long time ago!
I chose to go with the Almond one because Almond oil has great skin benefits.
Since I heard you should dilute it... I had an empty Dial foaming soap dispenser, and I poured just enough soap in, (about 2 squirts,) to cover the bottom. Then I topped it up with bottled water. It works amazingly perfect! It foams up even better than the dial soap did.
I tried it as a shampoo, since I read a review that it faded someones color - and that is exactly what I want to do... fade out my ends which turned black from hair dye. I love it as a shampoo personally :D I also didn't experience any tangles because I worked it into my hair very gently.
This product is going to last so long, and I'm going to be saving money and being better for my health. I'm so happy!!! (I also heard people use this soap to make natural household cleaning products, and I can't wait to try that either.)

I love this stuff!!!!! It smells like the original Jergens lotion. For people that say it is too drying---you need to dilute it. I know some people say it doesn't require diluting but it really does. I had a few chest and back blemishes and clogged pores from coming off bcp and tried all kinds of creams, cleansers, and natural methods to clear them. Dr. Bronner's soap has cleared up my back and chest like nothing else!

I had a bottle of this for ages purely because I loved the almond scent. I used it for everything (including laundry which did not work at all). I wasn't aware that you had to dilute this which is probably why I thought it was too harsh. I finished off the bottle by using it as hand soap, but it did dry my skin. I would definitely purchase another bottle but at least I know to dilute it now!

I thought I would like this scent but it has a really sickening after smell. I wouldn't buy it again.
EDIT: Ok to be fair, that review was because I cleaned my mason pearson brush with that and the rubber scent mixed with almond was bad. But alone, it's actually really good. Changing review to 5 stars.

- Free for Dropbox applications. Free for 2GB of space. Dropbox Pro: $9.99 per month or $99 per year for 1TB of space. Business: Price varies by number of employees ($15 per month per user, with a minimum of 5 users).
Effortless file synchronization. Excellent array of apps for various operating systems. Dependable servers (no downtime). Easy to install. Supports file-sharing. Shows history of actions. Allows access to deleted files and earlier versions. Tight OS integration.
- Cons Can't collaborate on files synchronously with others. Can hard to understand where files are actually located.
Bottom Line
Dropbox is a well implemented, cloud-based, automatic, file-syncing service that's ideal for working with files you can store in a single folder. It lacks the sophisticated collaboration tools found in Editors' Choice Google Drive, however.
In terms of free space allotments, you'll get much more with Box, which offers 10GB to start. Box does limit uploaded files, however, to 250MB for non-paying members. For $10 per month, you can increase your Box storage allotment to 100GB, and your maximum file upload size increases to 5GB.
Microsoft OneDrive offers 7GB of free space for U.S. users, which is more than Dropbox but less than Box. Google Drive gives you 15GB to start, but the math gets tricky with Google Drive. That 15GB is spread across Google Drive, Gmail, and Google+ Photo, and it doesn't count all files. Anything you created with Docs, Sheets, and Slides (i.e., Google Docs) doesn't count, and photos smaller than 2,048 by 2,048 pixels and videos shorter than 15 minutes don't count. See Google's help page on Drive storage limits for even more confusing details.
File History
Dropbox preserves 30 days' worth of older copies of your files, meaning you can restore a file from the past month to a prior version. If you want version histories going back further, you need to pay for a Pro account (prices below) and tack on $3.99 per month for a feature called Packrat.
When Dropbox detects a change in a file, it only uploads and downloads the parts that have changed. If you edit file that's 125MB, Dropbox might only needed to transfer 2 or 3MB of data to successfully update it everywhere else. That's a decent bandwidth savings that keeps the program lightweight when it's in action.
Dropbox offers a few ways to share files with others. Don't confuse "file sharing" with "collaborating." More on that in a moment.
One way to share files is via the Public folder. When you install Dropbox, the app automatically creates a subfolder called Public. Files placed there aren't immediately visible to anyone, but by right-clicking on one and choosing the Copy Public Link, you create a Web address of a permanent, public link to the file (and only the file; it doesn't work on the entire Public folder) that you can publish on the Web or send to friends or colleagues—even if they don't use Dropbox. You should use this feature only for files you don't need to restrict to specific users, because there's no password protection.
A similar feature with another subfolder called Photos lets you send a link to a Public Gallery that anyone can use to view any photos you've copied into it.
A slightly different feature uses invitation-only shared access to folders, rather than single files, that you create anywhere in Dropbox, not just the Public folder. Right-click any folder you want to share, and the app will send you to the Dropbox website where you can enter email addresses of people who should have access. Your friends and colleagues can now add, edit, and delete the files in the folder. They'll need a Dropbox account, but they don't need to install the client if they're satisfied with accessing the folder online. If they do install the Dropbox client, the shared folder will automatically download to their My Dropbox folder.
One of our favorite little features is that when you invite someone to join a folder, you receive an email notification when the person has actually accessed it. [Note: Inviting another person to join a folder is different than sharing a single file; an earlier version of this article incorrectly outlined this feature.] When you're delivering important materials and you need to make sure the other party has retrieved them in a timely manner, this little confirmation is invaluable. If you send files by email, you don't typically know when or if the person has actually received them, or if the attachment came through successfully. With Dropbox, you know the precise date and time the recipient got access to the folder—it's recorded in the Events tab on the website and appears as "Person joined the shared folder Folder Name [date, time]."

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Greg GelpiAn overhaul of the Clayton County Alternative School will extend school from noon to 4 p.m., among other changes. The school system unveiled a comprehensive plan that will be phased-in during the coming months and fully implemented by August. Assistant Superintendent Luvenia Jackson reviewed the alternative school and identified five areas of concern. She listed professional learning, teaching and learning, organizational structure, student services and the school's staffing and facility as areas she intends to improve. To address these concerns, the system is lengthening the school day, including a lunch break; adding life skills and behavior management training for students; modifying the curriculum; increasing staff; and adding a counselor, parent liaison and on-site family center to address the academic as well as all aspects of each student. The school system is also revamping the way in which it tracks students at the alternative school and monitors their progress, according to plans presented by Jackson to the school board. The overhaul will seek to accomplish five goals as stated by Jackson, including goals of reducing chronic disruptive behavior, providing collaboration between government agencies to increase emotional and social services for students and establishing a process of integrating students back into the traditional classroom setting. "I know that the alternative school is one of the concerns that the school board has expressed to me," Superintendent Barbara Pulliam said. In 2001, the state adopted a policy that allowed alternative school programs to hold class for half the duration of a regular school day, which is what Clayton County has been doing. "Why would we give less time to kids who need more time?" Clayton County Juvenile Court Judge Steve Teske asked. "What the school system is attempting to do in the alternative school is based on sound evidence-based practice to help those children who have issues of delinquent behavior and constant juvenile problems." Juvenile crime spikes in the hours after school, he said, commending Pulliam and the school administration for taking actions to overhaul the alternative school. "This is tremendous," Teske said. "I'm in awe of what they're trying to do." The alternative school was established for students with poor behavior and constant discipline problems, he said. Many of those students are also on probation with the court system. Letting them out of class at noon provides time for unsupervised activity, because many parents are working during the afternoon hours. "This will help to reduce gang activity," Teske said. "I don't care what anyone tells you. The only thing that works to reduce gang activity is structured supervision and after-school activities." He went on to say that this is one of many actions by the school system that he applauds. "I'm beginning to see a lot more attention being focused on these children by the leadership of the current superintendent," Teske said. "That means that [Pulliam] truly believes that no child should be left behind." The changes also garnered the approval of Michelle Jackson, a Clayton County parent, who has asked the school system to address the length of school for more than a year. Aspects of the overhaul began being implemented in October, and the complete overhaul is expected to be in place by August.

Thanks again to all!
If Envato will be interested to support this the idea of an animated show by sponsoring the show with some $ it could be helpful.
"THE ENVATOS " (awesome name Daniel!) could be a weekly/monthly show.
I even got a few rough ideas to promote Envato (that's the mine idea of the show):
- Every webisode, will have display: "SPONSORED BY ENVATO " at the beginning of the animation just like any other professional show out there. - There will be links to the marketplaces or any other Envato's websites on the description so people will follow.
Feature guest for every webisode: - Every webisode we should have a special guest (one of our Authors as a character). and the cool stuff, the guest's voice will be played by the Author itself hehe. - Every show will promote one feature/item from Envato.
I start to understand that people like "weird" animations, I mean… if my cheap animation got about 25 subscribers in the last 12 hours… Just imagine what Envato show could do
I got so many other ideas, and also you guys who reads this typed so many cool ideas and I bet you've got plenty more. it doesn't have to be in "cheap animation style" I can animate other styles (cheap style is just a faster way to animate), it doesn't have to be Dirty or Creepy, it could be anything else, so when I'm talking about this idea, it's in General and not a specific style.
But I guess it's up to Envato's Decision, if it will support this idea, I'M IN !
if I could make a POLL , I would do it to see who's interested in this.
Sorry about my bad English.
hehehe greeat ideas…. make a poll on http://polldaddy.com and share it here
Great idea Daniel, Thanks
I'll create a Poll soon probably in my blog, then i'll open a thread with a link in a hope that people will vote for this idea.
Its absolutly awsome!
It's wicked! Great job Krazy
Thanks All
Maybe you'll like THIS IDEA (maybe not).
lol..Awesome work there
KrazyKartoons, simple and straight to the point… thumbs up!
But please help me understand something, I think I might be going crazy or seeing this the wrong way, but shouldn´t the character who says "wanna see something cool?" be the one who does the killing?

This is the NRA, Come Join Us The primary purpose of the NRA is to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, with a primary focus on the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights, which guarantees your individual right to keep and bear arms. However, there are many who want to severely restrict or eliminate your gun rights. Their two- pronged plan attacks both you and your gun: To Combat Attacks on Your Rights, NRA is: To Combat Attacks on Your Rights, NRA is: • Fighting gun registration and licensing schemes as ineffective against crime, an invasion of privacy and a precursor to confiscation—what happened in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. To Combat Attacks on Your Rights, NRA is: • Protecting private gun sales by exposing the "gun show loophole" fallacy. Imagine not being allowed to legally pass your guns down to your son or sell one to your friend. To Combat Attacks on Your Rights, NRA is: • Protecting our individual right to own a gun against the growing influence of the U.N. and it's efforts to pass global treaties that would disarm individual citizens everywhere in the world, including the United States. To Combat Attacks on Your Rights, NRA is: • Fighting reimposition of the "Assault Weapons Ban" as well as expanded legislation that would ban semi-automatic shotguns, detachable magazine semi- automatic rifles and pump-action shotguns and rifles. To Combat Attacks on Your Gun, NRA is: To Combat Attacks on Your Gun, NRA is: • Proud to have won passage of the protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to protect gunmakers from reckless (and taxpayer funded) lawsuits designed to hold manufacturers and dealers liable for the criminal acts of third parties who are totally beyond their control. To Combat Attacks on Your Gun, NRA is: • Working against new schemes such as "Ballistic Fingerprinting", which requires markings on bullets and cartridge cases to be entered into a national database. "Microstamping" laws would require cartridge cases be marked with serial numbers and registered to the purchaser. Both systems are extremely costly for manufacturers and have already proven unreliable. To Combat Attacks on Your Gun, NRA is: • NRA is working against so-called "Smart" Gun technology which would require guns to have expensive, unreliable features, such as grips that read your fingerprints before the gun will fire. The Strength of NRA The Strength of the NRA • Putting an end to the claim that the Second Amendment only protects a state's right to maintain a militia, in 2008 the Supreme court ruled 5-4 in District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment is an individually-held right to keep and bear arms. The Strength of the NRA • Do you believe you have the right to defend yourself, your family and your home? Amazingly, many states don't, so NRA is pursuing passage of the "Castle Doctrine" legislation. This law establishes your right to use appropriate force to protect yourself and those you love. The Strength of the NRA • NRA has played a key role in the passage of Right to carry laws in dozens of states and continues to push for more. By the way, the 40 Right to Carry states have a 26% lower violent crime rate. The Strength of the NRA • The NRA has successfully promoted "firearm preemption laws" in 43 states. These laws prevent local jurisdictions from imposing more restrictive ordinances than the laws of the state. The Strength of the NRA • You've heard of employees being fired for having a gun in their locked vehicle. Now NRA is supporting legislation at the state level to prevent employers from restricting employees' self-defense and firearm rights with respect to guns in parked vehicles. The Strength of the NRA • Population growth has moved new groups of citizens closer to existing shooting ranges, resulting in hundreds of lawsuits and complaints by the newcomers against the established ranges. NRA has been promoting Range Protection Laws at the state level and has been successful in 46 states. Always Vigilant to Protect Your Gun Rights, the NRA is Also the Leader in Firearm Safety NRA is Also the Leader in Firearm Safety • Did you know NRA's 55,000 Certified Firearms Instructor and 12,000 Law Enforcement Instructors reach 800,000 people annually? • Did you know NRA's Eddie Eagle Gun Safety Program has been used by more than 26,000 schools, law enforcement agencies and civic groups to reach more than 21 million children since 1988?

Rams Finish Third at Quiz Bowl Competition
March 5, 2014Greene Central High School
By Sadie Nash
Greene Central competed in the Neuse Regional Library Quiz Bowl at Kinston-Lenoir County Public Library on Saturday, February 15th.
The six competing teams included Bethel Christian Academy, Arendell Parrott Academy, North Lenoir High School, South Lenoir High School, Kinston High School, and Greene Central High School.
After defeating Bethel, North Lenoir, and Kinston High School in a hard-fought competition, Parrott Academy took first, as Bethel Academy came in second, and Greene Central placed third.
In the first pairing of round one, Parrott Academy defeated Greene Central 160-150, although Greene Central came back for a win against North Lenoir with a score of 80-70 in the second pairing of round one.
In the second round, Greene Central defeated Kinston High School 130-60 while Bethel defeated North Lenoir 130-30. In the semifinals, Parrott defeated Greene Central 115-65.
In the first pairing of the final round, Bethel defeated Parrott Academy 160-140, but Parrott Academy won the second pairing against Bethel with a score of 205-160.
Dr. Martha Welch, advisor of Greene Central's Quiz Bowl team, said she "is real proud of how the students did."
Welch added, "I think the level of questions this year were a little higher level than last year's questions."
The Quiz Bowl is very similar to Jeopardy. The students are asked a range of different questions that refer to anything and everything.
Junior Jeffrey Bubak said, "We came in third, and we were all disappointed in ourselves, and we felt like we could've done better."
Greene Central fought hard against Parrott Academy in the semifinals. "I think we competed about average. There were some questions I thought I did really well to answer them correctly, others I had no idea about, along with the rest of the team," commented senior Alex Gilbert. "I was disappointed in myself, but there's nothing you can do about it when you have no clue and it's extremely trivial."
Gilbert went on to say that the team did extremely well to place third after having to compete against Parrott Academy twice.
Katie Jones said, "I would tell future Quiz Bowl members to not procrastinate and to study." She also mentioned that she "enjoyed learning and being with friends the most. I will miss the people and the experience as a whole. It was nice to meet a lot of different people as well."
Greene Central's team included sophomore Bruce Howell, juniors Jeffrey Bubak and Lucas Upham, and seniors Katie Jones, Alex Gilbert, and P.T. Harrison.

How mean?
I recently set a class the following puzzle: "Write down four positive whole numbers less than 100 and then write down their average: choose the original numbers so that overall the five numbers written down use each of the digits 1 to 9 exactly once."
Three Scandinavian lads in the class were successful. Hola came up with 9, 15, 36 and 48, with average 27. Frack was more cunning - his average was not a whole number - it involved a fraction in its simplest form, like 27¾. Dessie was devious, too, and his average, which was lower than Frack's, was not a whole number - it involved decimals, like 16.25.
What averages did Frack and Dessie write?

First Known Use: 1501
noun sat·ire \ˈsa-ˌtī(-ə)r\
: a way of using humor to show that someone or something is foolish, weak, bad, etc. : humor that shows the weaknesses or bad qualities of a person, government, society, etc.
: a book, movie, etc., that uses satire
Full Definition of SATIRE
: a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn
: trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm used to expose and discredit vice or folly
See satire defined for English-language learners
See satire defined for kids
Examples of SATIRE
- His movies are known for their use of satire.
- The movie is a political satire.
- By contrast, Martial's friend, Juvenal, learned to transmute Martial's epigrammatic wit into savage satire. Juvenal's fierce, if occasionally obscene, tirades against immorality fit easily into the propaganda of the new era. —G. W. Bowersock, New York Review of Books, 26 Feb. 2009
- Unlike late-night talk shows that traffic in Hollywood interviews and stupid pet tricks, "The Daily Show" is a fearless social satire. Not many comedy shows would dare do five minutes on the intricacies of medicare or a relentlessly cheeky piece on President George W. Bush's Thanksgiving trip to Iraq … —Marc Peyser, Newsweek, 29 Dec. 2003 - 5 Jan. 2004
- Saturday Night Live alum Bill Murray stars in this film about Army basic training, and it features Second City TV veterans John Candy and Harold Ramis. Director Ivan Reitman co-produced Animal House. Do not, however, expect a devastating satire on the military; this film is so innocuous that the Defense Department let Reitman use Fort Knox, Ky. to make it. —People, 27 July 1981

Origin of SATIRE
Middle French or Latin; Middle French, from Latin satura, satira, perhaps from (lanx) satura dish of mixed ingredients, from feminine of satur well-fed; akin to Latin satis enough — more at sad
