Fair Haven summer concert lineup announcedBy Lucia SUAREZ
STAFF WRITER | February 05,2013FAIR HAVEN Although its still early to be thinking about summer, the organizers of the Fair Haven Concerts in the Park hope people will start getting excited about this years lineup.
I got people coming up to me asking what groups we are going to have, said organizer Fred Capron.
Capron and the Concerts in the Park committee recently completed the schedule for the annual event, jam packing it with a handful of returning acts and newcomers.
The 10-week concert series will run from June 20 to Aug. 22 with concerts at 7 p.m. every Thursday near the gazebo in the Fair Haven town park.
We have many, many people who are so excited, Capron said.
Kicking of the series is Yankee Dixie, a lively eight-piece band playing toe-tapping music of the American south. They will be followed by the Mellow Yellow on June 27 playing music of the 60s and 70s including the Monkees, Turtles, Rolling Stones, Donovan and more.
Returning this summer after drawing an audience of more than 1,300 people is the 40th Army Band of the Vermont National Guard. The band, led by Commander David Meyers, will play standard military music, traditional and contemporary Americana with a few surprises along the way. This concert, though, has been moved to Friday, July 5, to not conflict with other local Fourth of July celebrations the day before.
There are so many Fourth of July events that we didnt want to interfere with all that, Capron said.
Debuting this season is Snake Mountain Bluegrass featuring local musician Freeman Corey on July 11. It will be followed by the return of Dennis Wilmott and his band Left Eye Jump out of Burlington on July 18.
Also returning for the second straight year, are Burlington-based Possum Haw on July 25, Celtic rock band Prydein on Aug. 1, the Moonlighters Big Band from the Windsor/Hartford area Aug. 8 and the Albany-based cover band TS Ensemble on Aug. 15. They will play a wide-range of musical styles including a fusion of rock and bagpipes and classic big band music of the 1940s and 1950s.
The Starline Rhythm Boys, who were rained out at the last minute last year, will close the concert series Aug. 22, with a no holds barred Honky Tonk show.
Capron said all the acts were chosen by the committee with the input of concert visitors last year. He said they listened to the amount of applause an act got from the crowd to see if they would have them back this year.
We tried to refresh it a little bit (with the new acts), he said. We dont bring in groups that we have not listened to and that we feel would fit Fair Haven.
Throughout the concert series, local businesses and organizations will host free ice cream socials and each week there will be door prizes, food and a 50-50 drawing.
We are so appreciative for what everybody does for us, Capron said. Thank you for coming. Thank you for supporting us.

This is an outragous plug for my darling wife, Sharlene who celebrates a very special birthday today.
Because of our 'unusual' circumstances, I've only managed to share birthdays here in Tucson with her twice - but we only got married last year, so that's ok.
I hope you'll all join me in wishing a Very Happy Birthday, Sharlene!*
*Turquoise is very much a colour that is used over here in Tucson - I've come to associate it with the desert.

Small Lord of the Rings Crushed Stone Chess Pieces
Small Lord of the Rings Crushed Stone Chess PiecesBring your imagination to life with our wide range of figurine chess pieces. Each Chess Piece is crafted from crushed stone. This chess set depicts the major characters of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Each has been assigned to the role of a chess piece that most accurately portrays their nature. The light side of the set represents the good side and depicts virtues of goodness, loyalty, and honesty, whereas the dark side depicts evil, malevolence, and enmity.
Polystone is a compound made up of polyurethane resin mixed with powdered stone, which gives the chess pieces added weight and a porcelain or "stone-like" feel that is fairly durable. Additionally, polystone is slow to wear, making it ideal for collectors and casual players alike.
This is a full set of 32 Chess Pieces. Chessboard not included.
Please note that this item is special order, and may ship separately from the rest of your order. Please feel free to ask us if you have any questions about delivery.

The chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in the fund ten years ago or on commencement of operations (whichever is later). Figures include reinvestment of capital gains and dividends, and reflect the effects of the annual annuity charge and the underlying fund's expenses. Figures do not reflect the effects of any applicable redemption fees, maintenance charges, or surrender fees, which would lower these figures. This chart is not intended to imply any future performance of the fund.
The performance data featured represents past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Investment returns and the principal value of a variable annuity will fluctuate; therefore, you may have a gain or loss when money is withdrawn or received. Fund performance fluctuates and currently may be significantly higher or lower than stated.

1. Performance and rankings reflect an annual annuity charge of 0.25%, the charge applicable to contracts purchased prior to 1/1/2009 and on or after 9/7/2010. See performance / rankings reflecting an annual annuity charge of 0.35% prior to 9/7/2010 and 0.25% thereafter, the fee structure applicable to contracts purchased between 1/1/2009 and 9/6/2010 or the performance / rankings reflecting an annual annuity charge of 0.10%, the charge applicable to contracts purchased on or after 9/7/2010 with an initial purchase payment of $1,000,000 or more. Returns are historical and include change in unit price and the automatic reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.
2. The subaccount inception date is the date the portfolio was first made available in the annuity product.
3. The Morningstar Category Average is the average return for the peer group based on the returns of each individual fund within the group, for the period shown. This average assumes reinvestment of dividends.
4. This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made in this investment product (and a benchmark or category average, if shown) from the beginning date shown or on the subaccount inception date (whichever is later). The product's returns may not reflect all its expenses. Any fees not reflected would lower the returns. Benchmark returns include reinvestment of capital gains and dividends, if any, but do not reflect any fees or expenses. It is not possible to invest in an index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This chart is not intended to imply any future performance of the investment product.
5. Any holdings, asset allocation, diversification breakdowns or other composition data shown are as of the date indicated and are subject to change at any time. They may not be representative of the fund's current or future investments. Some breakdowns may be intentionally limited to a particular asset class or other subset of the fund's entire portfolio, particularly in multi-asset class funds where the attributes of the equity and fixed income portions are different.
Under the asset allocation section, international (or foreign) assets may be reported differently depending on how an investment options reports its holdings. Some do not report international (or foreign) holdings here, but instead report them in a "Regional Diversification" section. Some report them in this section as an to the equity, bond and other allocation shown. Others report international (or foreign) holding as a subset of the equity and bond allocations shown. If the allocation without the foreign component (or round to) 100%, then international (or foreign) is a subset of the equity and bond percentage shown.

They told me these tires would not fit on Focus 2009. Told them find a way to put them on because those tires are the one I want. They are good on snow and ice (just like a winter tire as far as I am concerned). I love the light noise I hear from them. When those are done, I will certainly get the same ones. They are great. I have no idea what the size is though.

Just got a set put on my Z4 this past weekend and it was just in time. I work the night shift so if there is bad weather coming I usually drive my wife's Honda Pilot 4WD. However this past Sunday morning nothing of note was forecast (a light drizzle) so I drove my Z4 to work. At 4am an ice storm hit St. Louis and I thought I was stuck at work. I finally decided to give my new DWS tires a tryout in icy road conditions and they were unbelievable. I-64 was closed in one direction while I drove in extremely slick conditions going the other way. Only once did I experience a slight little slip on a big curve where all the accidents were occuring. I let off the gas pedal and drove a little slower the rest of the way home without a hitch. I think these tires work best for a small lightweight car like a Z4. For heavier vehicles they may not perform as expected. I only have 200 miles on them but so far they have been worth every cent.

Very pleased with the Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires. I oringally purchased these for our Honda Accord V6 Sedan when the original Yokahama tires finally needed to be replaced. I was immediately impressed with how well the tires performed relative to the Yokahamas. The tires felt more comfortable and performed noticeably better in both dry and wet weather. In the snow, I felt confident but can't say with any certainty how much better they perform than the previous tires (I try not to push the performance of my car or tires unnecessarily in the snow, ice or slush.) Despite being an aggressive driver and failing to properly rotate the tires, the front tires finally wore out after about 40,000 miles. The rear tires are still going strong. Based on my experience, I highly recommend the Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires and intend to continue buying them for years to come.

So far these tires are excellent. A little bit of a shake before they warm up but NOT SERIOUS at all. Dry handling feels a little floaty but for an all season very acceptable. Wet handling is INCREDIBLE. Couldn't ask for a more confident feel, even compared to Dunlop SP Sport 01's. Haven't been able to test in snow yet but everyone else with a WRX except for a few select people love them. Like I said, excellent so far. I'm very excited for winter. I love the predictable-yet-less-responsible feel of an all-season in the snow. This will be my first season with a high performance all season in the snow as well.

The downslope of the mountain is becoming clearer as we have ripped off every piece of '71 metal off the Back To The Street Camaro and have begun to slowly replace the old with the new. Last we left off, we repaired the floors and had the Camaro completely stripped naked. The front and rear suspension hit the paint booth and were over at Mike Cramer's Automotive Service class getting the final assembly before installation.
At this point, we are ready to dive into bodywork and molding this 'Maro into a streamlined butterfly. National Parts Depot stepped up in a big way and dug us out of a huge hole we buried ourselves in with deadlines approaching. It supplied everything we needed to complete the exterior sheetmetal work from the fenders, nose, valance, hardware, and everything in between. We added a steel stock-style hood while we were at it, and transformed the plain grille/one-piece bumper to an RS-style grille. Having the help of 15 students eager to learn was a huge advantage as we were never short of hands when it came to grinding and smoothing.
Countless man-hours have been spent on our Camaro and we could not have asked for more out of teacher Bob Gonier, the entire Votech staff, and the students. At the end of the day, we had both fenders ready for Dupont primer, a shell primed, blocked and ready for the first coat, a hood being massaged on, and all eyes ready to check out that beautiful deep blue paint we had sitting in jugs, armed for the first coat.
Our beastly ZZ454 stirred up some excellent controversy in the power department and proved our little Camaro was making waves on the pages. In a few weeks, the Back To The Street Camaro will be on all fours and powered by the ever-rugged foot power until the delivery of our dyno-proven ZZ454 GM Performance Parts crate engine. We are making a point to get the motor over to the Sypek Center before the kids head out for the summer simply because I had no less than five students ask me, "where is the motor and when can we see it?" They have put some serious man-hours in this car and I am making a point to get the motor over there before the final bell rings on June 16th. Follow along as the puzzle pieces have been laid out and we start the resurrection process.
The shell of the Back To The Street Camaro is where we performed most of our work. First and foremost, we taped up the doors, and front and rear glass. Paul Heston of 3M works closely with the Mercer County Vocational School to ensure that the students have the proper supplies while learning the trade and is constantly bringing in painters tape.On the pieces we were reusing, including the shell, quarter panels, tail, and trunk lid, we sanded down until we had penetrated the clearcoat and were down to paint. The new pieces from National Parts Depot were sanded down to bare metal using hand grinders and then sanded smooth. This is a tedious process, but as usual, the students were happy to jump in and get some hands-on experience. This is how you learn.

On that last image I can see the option "Internet Settings". Could you screenshot that page please?
Also, you might want to try 18.104.22.168 and 18.104.22.168 for DNS. They're Google DNS and don't have all the special OpenDNS redirects when things aren't found.

Your never going to get anywhere without an internet IP.. So your saying you have internet access from a client connected to this router if you use google or opendns??
Sorry but that is BS plan and simple from what your showing - the router has NO INTERNET CONNECTION, it has NO IP -- it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to route traffic to the internet - dns has nothing to do with this.
So if they put your superhub into modem mode - did you reboot it? And then connect and power up your router? Until your router shows it has an IP address on its WAN interface there is no possible way for it to route traffic.
As suggested already let see the internet setting page.
Are you getting an IPv6 address??
disconnect your router and unplug it from power. Power Cycle your "modem/superhub" Now connect your router via its internet and port that is active on your superhub, you sure your using the correct port? Then power up your cisco router -- what does it show for internet IP? If nothing - then what your saying is impossible. It is impossible for you to have internet access through this router if it has NO internet IP address.
So your ISP told you that your router should be in dhcp mode? Or do you need to use PPPoE or something?
Posted 03 October 2012 - 19:29
Posted 03 October 2012 - 19:34
And you sure your not wireless on the network next door?
For it to work you HAVE to have a internet IP it is NOT possible for you to connect through that router if it does not have an internet IP - come do we really need to go over that.
Now is it possible your router is NOT showing you what its internet IP is, sure that is possible I guess. Seems unlikely to be honest, it would make more sense that your actually wireless to some network across the street and getting internet that way
Connect your PC to the superhub in modem mode - what does your PC show you for your IP? You will most likely have to power cycle the superhub when connecting a new device with different mac, etc.
Posted 03 October 2012 - 19:37
Posted 03 October 2012 - 19:41
The super hub automatically reboots when modem mode is active.
Your Cisco should have the super hub connected to its wan port. You must use port 1 of the super hub iirc.
Your Cisco should be configured to use dynamic or dhcp on its wan port.
It will then pull DNs and such automatically
Posted 03 October 2012 - 19:41
Posted 03 October 2012 - 20:12
"SuperHub" is not sending the IP to the Cisco router"
If that was the case it would be IMPOSSIBLE for you to have internet, if you say your wired to the router and you have internet access while pointing to the cisco as your gateway. Then the only possible way that could happen is that the router does really have an IP and is just not showing it to you.
I would suggest you connect your PC to your superhub just like you would your router - and then look at IPconfig /all -- what do you get? Do you have internet access?
edit: If your router is flaky, ie not showing you its wan/internet IP - then couldn't hurt to do a HARD RESET on it!! Maybe that will clear up anything weird in its settings that is not showing you its wan IP and its dns forwarder not working.
As stated router should be getting your ISP dns and listing those and then that is what it forwards too, but if something flaky with it and its not showing IP, maybe its not using/getting those.
Which is why I suggest you connect a PC to your superhub while its in modem mode and verify you are getting IP and dns from your ISP in this mode, etc.
The super hub automatically reboots when modem mode is active.
Your Cisco should have the super hub connected to its wan port. You must use port 1 of the super hub iirc.
Your Cisco should be configured to use dynamic or dhcp on its wan port.
It will then pull DNs and such automatically

Well I would for starters do a sniff of the traffic as you get an IP to verify that they are not providing you dns -- this is going to be an option in the dhcp offer.
So for example here on my work box.
Its quite possible that they are in the offer and your router is just not taking them? Never heard of an ISP that does not provide DNS. So if they are not offering it in the dhcp offer - then I would for sure call them on it!
On a client its not that big of a deal you can set to be dhcp but set a static dns, not so sure on router? Could you go into your internet settings and look to see if that is an option. I know I can do it on my pfsense box, but not sure about that cisco - I do believe you can do that on 3rd party firmware. Maybe you might want to go that route? If you verify that they are not handing it out and can not get them too?
Just fire up wireshark on your client PC you have connected to the modem - then do a ipconfig /release and then renew and you should see your discover go out then the offer then the ack, etc.

Some retailers are seeing double the number of pre-orders for next-generation consoles as they have for the previous launch
With roughly 4 months still to go, some retailers are reporting that pre-orders are twice as high as last-gen (PS3, X360) consoles.
Could this mean the gaming community has expanded vastly since the current-gen launch? Maybe Wii U flop has pushed Nintendo gamers towards PS and Xbox?
Yes for both I believe. The Wii was successful because it was cheap and it brought in something which was new and exciting (Motion Controls).
Its no longer so cheap and the motion controls aspect has been surpassed by both the PS and Xbox. It also brought in something no one wanted, a giant gameboy-like controller.
For the gaming community expanding its maybe because of products like the Wii bringing in more casual gamers, or smartphones like the iPhone bringing in even more casual gamers. Regardless of the cause the evidence is clear, Everyone's a bit of a gamer, be it COD or Candy Crush, BF or Just Dance, maybe even GTA or Solitaire; Gaming is bigger than it ever was and is still getting bigger.

Friends' first NXT design
Recently, a couple friends of mine got a NXT, and they've really got going with it! The two of them, Josh and Josiah, built this awesome car. It's powered via two motorized wheels in the back, and steers the same way that real cars do. They even added the driver with his steering wheel! I especially like the way they installed the US sensor to look like headlights. They also used an ingenius way of doing rack-and-pinion-type steering without any gears:
A motor rotates the top white beam, which in turn steers the axles sticking out on the sides, to which wheels are attached.
View more pictures of it here
Anyway, this was a great first project, nice work guys!

Fantastic model - and great to see how well it drives. During the development of the NXT box we discussed whether or not to add two extra wheels and tires in the box (we only use two in the bos models). The MUP guys begged for more wheels and tires and convinced us that a true robotics toolset must have four wheels. Your car is a great example of this. Please put your project on the NXTlog on mindstorms.com.

Wow! I loved the look of this item on line, but it failed the initial test. First the seal in the lid was not put in right and it leaked. I took care of that after getting coffee in my lap. Then the design around the center is poorly applied. The plus is that it is stainless steal and keeps my coffee warm. Wish it had been executed better as I love the look and idea.

State politicians get 5.3 percent boost
With budget in surplus, commission OKs increase to partially restore reductions
SACRAMENTO State politicians were granted 5.3 percent raises on Wednesday, now that California government is enjoying an infusion of cash from November's voter-approved Proposition 30 tax increases.
The pay hikes were approved on a 5-1 vote by an independent commission and will take effect in December. California lawmakers are already the highest paid in the nation, but the commission noted that the increase is simply a partial restoration of pay cuts imposed during the economic downtown.
The decision by the California Citizens Compensation Commission also increases the pay of Gov. Jerry Brown, Attorney General Kamala Harris and other constitutional officers.
Brown is set to receive $173,987 a year, Harris will make $151,127 and legislators will be paid $95,290, plus tax-free daily expense stipends that can work out to about $30,000 a year.
Do you think California lawmakers should receive a 5.3 percent pay raise given the state's budget picture has brightened?
Yes 5% (70)
No 95% (1246)
1316 total votes.
Commissioners argued the state's improved financial picture makes this the right time to offset cuts imposed two years ago as state workers faced furloughs. Panelists in defending the raises noted that Brown has agreed to give many state workers a 4.5 percent boost over three years.
Commissioners had voted to reduce salaries for the governor and lawmakers by nearly 23 percent over the last four years.
Chairman Thomas Dalzell, pointing to salary comparisons of state and local governments, said the data strongly supported restoration of the most recent reduction. Brown and Harris are paid less than their counterparts in several other states, Dalzell said, and their salaries are less than the chief executives and top prosecutors make in several cities and counties in California.
"The data, if that's all we looked at, would be to go probably above where we were in 2008," said Dalzell, a labor attorney appointed by Brown.
Commissioner John Stites, an appointee of former Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said it was misguided to compare salaries of politicians and officials from different areas. Stites, the lone dissenter and a retired sergeant from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, also took issue with the characterization that the panel was merely restoring past pay reductions.
"Restoration to me suggests entitlement," he said. "I don't believe that any reductions we have taken are entitlements and that we are obligated in any way to restore them."
Although California legislators have the highest base pay in the nation, a recent study indicated that they earn less than their counterparts in New York when one considers various assignment pay and pension add-ons, a point that seemed to sway some commissioners.
While lawmakers have seen their paychecks shrink over the past several years, the state budget picture has brightened, mostly because voters passed Proposition 30, which temporarily raised the sales tax and income taxes on the wealthy. The measure was sold as aid to ailing school budgets, but by creating new money for schools it freed up other state funds.
On Wednesday, the commission also voted to increase heath care contributions for state politicians by about 10 percent, restoring roughly half of what was cut four years ago.
The Legislature is set to receive a funding boost in the budget proposal awaiting Brown's signature, and state officials said that money could be used to pay for lawmaker raises.

Though all of this is pointless for two reasons:
1. Jones said he turned down the fight due to lack of preparation, not the legitimacy of Sonnen. So, no, you don't get to substitute Jones' explanation with one you prefer.
2. Jones got his title shot with no legitimate top-10 wins. Period. He was a phenom even then and we all saw it. But he didn't earn it. He got it because no one else stepped up and DW saw something in him. The LEAST he could do is humor DW when the same situation arises while Jones is the title holder.

Official Website
Launch Trailer
It is developed by Drinkbox Studios, a little development outfit from Canada who made a little game called Tales From Space: Mutant Blobs Attack.
Based on the fact they have a pretty decent track record with that game, and this game itself was getting a decent amount of buzz, and especially because I was looking for something new to play on my Vita, I decided to pick it up.
Key Features
- It is $14.99, $11.99 for + subscribers.
- The first great thing about the game is it supports Cross-Play, so purchase it once and you get it for both the PS3 and Vita.
- Apparently it supports Cross-Save, although I have yet to check that out to see how well it works.
- It also has drop-in/drop-out CoOp Play on the PS3 version (supports the Vita as well), which is supposed to be a lot of fun.
- It has an awesome visual style IMHO.
Write Up From Official Website
Guacamelee! is a Metroid-vania style action-platformer set in a magical Mexican inspired world.
The game draws its inspiration from traditional Mexican culture and folklore, and features many interesting and unique characters. Guacamelee builds upon the classic open-world Metroid-vania style of games, by adding a strong melee combat component, a new dimension switching mechanic, and cooperative same-screen multiplayer for the entire story. The game also blurs the boundaries between combat and platforming by making many of the moves useful and necessary for both of these.
The game features a down on his luck Mexican named Juan Aguacate, who sets out to save the world when El Presidente's Daughter is kidnapped by an Evil Charro Skeleton. The story takes place in and around a small village in Mexico, and has the player travelling through alternate dimensions: "The World of the Living" and "The World of the Dead" on his quest to rescue the girl he loves.
I have to say, the game is pretty damn awesome so far. I am playing it on the Vita right now, and it looks gorgeous. The visuals really do look outstanding on the Vita itself.
The amount of references and the homage it pays to other games and internet memes is also brilliant.
There are so many, Kotaku actually did a full article on just that aspect of things.
The Many Memes, References and Homages of Guacamelee!
Initial reviews are overall very positive, averaging a 85% on Metacritic.
I personally love platformers, so I was going to pick it up regardless, but I have to say I am truly liking it more than I thought I was going to. I only planned on quickly checking it out last night, and I wound up playing it for over 2 hours and went to bed way later then I normally do.
Definitely recommend it to Vita owners, and also recommend it to anyone who likes platformers looking for something a bit different.

With over 7 hours of battery life, a large and bright display, great-sounding speakers, and a Blu-ray drive, the HP Pavilion dv7-4165dx is an excellent entertainment laptop. But poor overall application performance says this isn't the go-to laptop when it's time get your work done.

Rocky Trudgeon, head wrestling coach at VMI, has been moved to an administrative position at the Institute and will not return as the head wrestling coach. His assistant, Chris Skretkowicz, has been named interim head coach for next season. I'm assuming its probably his job to lose. I wish Coach Trudgeon well, but the program as been in decline for the last decade. Prior to Coach Trudgeon's arrival Ike Sherlock had a 46-7 dual meet record in his last four seasons at the Institute. Coach Trudgeon never came close to that type dual meet performance, although to his credit he did have a couple AAs.
Yes, recruiting talent to a place like VMI can be challenging, but I look at the Citadel's recent success as an example of a similar program getting it right. I worry that VMI may be another university on the verge of dropping wrestling. I've seen little energy or support from the Institute leadership for the program as evidenced by the poor state of the wrestling facilities. The thunderdome was always a great place to wrestle and the cadets came out in force to support the squad. Its unfortunate that VMI didn't give them more to cheer about over the last few years.
We used to get plenty of Ohio and PA kids in the room as well. When I look at the roster now the percentage of VA kids is a lot higher. I'm guessing its a funding issue and an in-state recruit is a lot cheaper than an out of state recruit. Opening the doors to Co-ed education and the impact of Title IX was probably a huge detriment as well, although like I said the Citadel is finding a way to be successful (although their record of success is relatively short).
I'd like to see VMI put a hard press on Robie at VT or Weber at Christiansburg, but I don't think either would be interested. Bruce Shumaker at the Apprentice School would also be a great choice and was there in the early 80s as an assistant. Maybe a current VA AAA HS coach like Martin at Western Branch.
Vais any ideas on a new head coach?

I stopped playing it due to the spawn gear changes
All the people promoting the spawn itemless are the same ones camping people with sniper rifles and assault. They are happy for changes cause they have even less risk of dying.

I don't keep up on the forums much so I don't know what rationale they are kicking around but I don't see how this helps the game at all.
I'm having a hard time getting into a game right now, the servers I usually use are still not fully updated. I did get the SixUpdater app to work, much easier to find games and keep updated.

Definitely, definitely!, agree with night in-game. Holy hell, that is a mess.
And the dehydration thing for me was already hard. Lost my last character because I was getting desperate for fluids - ended up aggroing zombies.
I understand he wants it to be hardcore but taking the spawn weapon away is crazy. At the very least just tweak the starting pistol a bit - I'd be fine with that.
Posted 19 June 2012 - 23:45
Id be fine with the no weapon thing if spawns were all over the place randomly, not just 6 locations along the coast
Heck set it for say, 60 points you can spawn randomly at anywhere along the 225km2 location

Watching the TotalBiscuit play through with Rocket himself. Unfortunately, they started the video with them already having weapons. Rocket did explain why he changed the starting spawn to no weapons: he wants to create a group atmosphere and see if people band together to survive. TB said when he initially spawned he robbed an AFK player for his items
Anyone from neowin going to be playing later? Want to group up?

25 Insanely Beautiful College Chapels
Whether you met your fiancé in Psych 101 or you're just a diehard fan of your beloved alma mater, going back to school for your wedding can be as meaningful as it gets. We rounded up twenty-five jaw-dropping campus chapels — some exclusive to alumni of that college and some not, and some that welcome all religions and some that limit ceremonies to one faith — that are as gorgeous as they are significant. Did we miss your university's amazing chapel? Let us know in the comments!
Baughman Center at the University of FloridaContrary to rumors, this extremely coveted ceremony space is not booked five years in advance -- the chapel only accepts reservations a year out as a matter of policy. And though it only fits 96 people, the Baughman Center is nothing less than a showstopper. Plus, anyone can get married here.
Stanford Memorial Church at Stanford UniversityAll faiths are welcome at the incredible Stanford Memorial Church -- as long as you're affiliated with the university somehow. Built in 1899, it's the stunning mosaics and arched doorways that make this chapel so beautiful.
The Immaculata Parish at the University of San DiegoYou don't have to be a USD alum to wed at this gorgeous chapel (though you do have to be a baptized Catholic). It's said that the perfect time for a ceremony is 6:30, when the setting sun, plus some candles, will give the room a soft glow.
Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre DameThe Basilica has been a gem on Notre Dame's campus since its construction in the late 1800s. Only students, alumni and faculty can wed here, and naturally, the church doesn't accept wedding dates on any Notre Dame football weekends.
Cadet Chapel at the U.S. Air Force AcademyMade of aluminum, steel and glass shaped like a pyramid stretching toward the sky, the Cadet Chapel is unlike any other sanctuary on this list -- or that we've ever seen.
University Chapel at Princeton UniversityJust like you'd have to apply to study at Princeton, you'll have to submit an application to wed at University Chapel, which includes writing about how you're connected to the university (you should be a student, alum or staff member) and why you'd like to marry at the chapel. But the space is so gorgeous -- so let's hope the acceptance rate for the church is a bit higher than it is for the school.
Battell Chapel at Yale UniversityAll faiths (but only Yale affiliates) are welcome to wed at this awe-inspiring chapel. Its history at Yale reaches back into the 1700s, and that age shows beautifully in the stunning old-world architecture.
Perkins Chapel at Southern Methodist UniversityWe love the quaint Southern charm of Perkins Chapel. The beautiful Georgian architecture makes it hugely attractive for weddings of SMU alumni and community members -- we hear the wait list is years long.
Madonna Della Strada Chapel at Loyola UniversityAfter the Archdiocese of Chicago approves your bid to get hitched here (you've got to be associated with Loyola), you can start planning your ceremony inside the amazing 70-year-old Art Deco-style chapel.
St. Paul's Chapel at Columbia UniversityAnyone can wed at this enormous chapel (it has room for up to 450 guests). Couples say "I do" beneath the 90-foot dome, surrounded by intricate Roman brick and terra-cotta and exquisite stained glass.
The Memorial Church at Harvard UniversityThe aptly named Memorial Church houses tributes to soldiers who fought in World War I and II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The crisp white paint and classic architecture makes it perfect for weddings -- but only for Harvard affiliates.
St. Ignatius Church at the University of San FranciscoThis gorgeous Catholic church is a San Francisco landmark. We can't get enough of the Baroque-esque design complete with Corinthian columns, arches and coffered half-dome that's as stunning a ceremony backdrop as any.
Provincial House Chapel at the University of Missouri at St. LouisAlmost 100 years old, the Provincial House Chapel is not only gorgeous but also incredibly unique -- just look at that vaulted wooden ceiling.
Duke Chapel at Duke UniversityTo be eligible to wed here, you have to be a Duke student, alum, a child or grandchild of an alum or a staff member. It's crafted in neo-Gothic style out of North Carolina volcanic stone -- yeah, you read that right!
Bowdoin College Chapel at Bowdoin CollegeThough it's decorated with biblical murals, this chapel welcomes non-denominational ceremonies. And who wouldn't want to wed here? The intimate sanctuary seems spacious and, dare we say it -- heavenly -- thanks to the blue and white paint.
St. Francis Xavier College Church at St. Louis UniversityThis circa-1841 Catholic church is beautiful and convenient: there's a ballroom attached for wedding receptions so you won't even have to leave the building.
Alice Millar Chapel at Northwestern UniversityOnly Northwestern affiliates have the privilege of marrying at Alice Millar Chapel, where monumental stained glass windows on all four walls of the sanctuary fill the room with dappled, multicolor light.
Chapel of the Holy Spirit at Duquesne UniversityThe people who can wed here is a small crowd -- only Catholic students, alumni and staff of the small Pennsylvania university are eligible. The lucky few are treated to an awesome domed ceiling and spectacular natural light.
United States Naval Academy ChapelOnly Naval Academy alumni can exchange vows under that domed roof -- and a military sword ceremony often follows.
Chapel of the Immaculate Conception at Seton Hall UniversityThis alumni-only chapel, which is considered the heart of Seton Hall's campus, was dedicated in 1870.
Thompson Memorial Chapel at Williams CollegeMore than 100 years old, this majestic chapel is only open to Williams College affiliates.
Stauffer Chapel at Pepperdine UniversityDepending on how you look at it, the stunning stained glass wall of Stauffer Chapel looks like Vincent Van Gogh's "Starry Night" or an imitation of the Malibu sky that lies just outside.
Vassar Chapel at Vassar CollegeVassar Chapel is home to the college's Catholic, Episcopal, Jewish and other congregations. Meryl Streep (Vassar class of 1971), Jesse Jackson, Tom Hanks and Billy Joel have made appearances beneath that vaulted ceiling.
Sage Chapel at Cornell UniversityDimly lit and cavernous, century-old Sage Chapel can host your romantic wedding ceremony of any religion -- if you've got a connection to Cornell.
Interfaith Chapel at the University of RochesterWe're mesmerized by the rainbow stained glass of this riverside chapel.

SD Trust Bank sold to Pacific Premier
San Diego Trust Bank agreed Wednesday to be sold to the parent of Pacific Premier Bank of Orange County in a cash and stock deal valued at $30.6 million -- continuing the trend of local banks being gobbled up by larger institutions.
Pacific Premier, which has 10 branches in Southern California, expands its footprint into San Diego County by adding San Diego Trust Bank's branches in Point Loma, Downtown and Encinitas. It also gets San Diego Trust's $188 million in deposits.
Pacific Premier's Steven Gardner said the bank intends to retain all local branches and their personnel, aiming to grow market share by offering larger and different types of loans than San Diego Trust Bank did, such as U.S. Small Business Administration loans.
"This is an attractive way for us to expand into the San Diego marketplace," said Steven R. Gardner, president and chief executive of Pacific Premier. "We believe San Diego is a logical extension of our franchise."
Run by long-time San Diego banker Michael Perry, San Diego Trust had no delinquent loans and maintains a hefty cushion against loan losses – well in excess of federal requirements. It has been profitable for 33 straight quarters.
But the bank also has struggled to grow its loan portfolio. It relies on investments in low-risk securities for the bulk of its income. At year end, San Diego Trust had $242 million in assets but less than $40 million in loans.
With interest rates at record lows, the gap between the bank's securities income and its operating expenses has shrunk.
"They sidestepped some the landmines that hit their local peers, but they did that by not growing loans," said Timothy Coffey, a vice president and research analyst with FIG Partners. "It's difficult enough for banks to make money in a low-interest rate environment. But it's more difficult when you don't have many loans."
Perry said the bank was handicapped by its size. "One of the frustrating things for us over the last couple of years is a lot of the opportunities that came our way were $10 million to $15 million credits, and we weren't able to facilitate those credits because we only had a $5 million legal lending limit."
Perry said the merger will enable the bank to make loans of up to $35 million in a single transaction.
Pacific Premier will pay San Diego Trust's shareholders $13.41 in cash or 1.114 shares of Pacific Premier's stock – or a combination of both. The cash outlay for Pacific Premier, however, is capped at half the total consideration, or about $15.3 million. The rest must be paid in stock.
On Tuesday before the deal was announced, San Diego Trust Bank's shares ended trading at $14.50 on the over the counter bulletin board. They fell nearly 8 percent to $13.36 in trading Wednesday.
Perry said investors in San Diego Trust Bank, founded in 2003, will receive a "meaningful return on their initial investment of $12 million" and could see more gains through ownership of Pacific Premier's stock.

St. Edward's University Named to the 2010 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll
For the fifth consecutive year, St. Edward's University was named to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. This distinction recognizes the university's commitment to volunteering, service-learning and civic engagement.
During 2010, in recognition of the university's 125th anniversary, St. Edward's conducted the 125 Service Challenge in which all members of the university community were challenged to generate 75,000 service hours by the end of 2010. The challenge was as success with 92,048 hours completed.
Students volunteer across many areas, some are classroom assignments and others are experiences outside the classroom through special programs and student groups. At
St. Edward's, students participate in programs such as Campus Ministry's Alternative Spring Break and International Immersion which provides opportunities to work with and learn from those in need. Other programs that provide volunteer opportunities include Social Justice and Service Outreach projects, numerous service-learning courses and S.E.R.V.E. Austin, a St. Edward's program that facilitates weekly service projects.
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS), which administers the annual Honor Roll award, recognized 641 colleges and universities for their impact on issues from poverty and homelessness to environmental justice. Honorees are chosen based on a series of selection factors including the scope and innovation of service projects, the extent to which service-learning is embedded in the curriculum, the school's commitment to long-term campus-community partnerships, and measurable community outcomes as a result of service. View a full list of recipients and descriptions of their service.
On campuses across the country, millions of college students are engaged in innovative projects to meet local needs, often using the skills learned in classrooms. In 2009, 3.2 million college students dedicated more than 307 million hours of service to communities across the country according to CNCS.
CNCS oversees the Honor Roll in collaboration with the Department of Education, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Campus Compact and the American Council on Education. More information

OOOOpsie! Nominate Poohcarrot for "gotcha" of the year.
Okay, to my very feegle (pun intended) defense, there's a big difference between stating that a place is the "hub of the universe" and that it is the best place to live in.
For example, there are many who state that New York City is the greatest city in the world, and I wouldn't necessarily argue against that claim (even though, as a Bawstonian, I'm a lifelong anti-NYer). But, unless you've Trump-rich, it would be hard to say it's the best place to live.
Likewise, unless you're into prohibitively high real estate prices, horrible winters, corrupt state government, losing presidential candidates, funny talking people and battling the world's scariest and selfish drivers on pot-hole line roads, the cerebral attractions of Boston may be far outweighed by the challenges living here poses to the average mortal.
