It's Onion Ring Day at Long John Silver's Benefitting CMN
Today is a big day for CMN and onion ring lovers! Long John Silver's is offering up their new onion rings for a $1 donation to CMN.

As a normal person you would think that this was the most ridiculous lawsuit. However, Wayne Watson just won a $7M lawsuit after he was diagnosed with "popcorn lung."
Bad news for fans of the porky substance that is McDonald's McRib sandwich. Instead of being sold beginning on October 22nd, as was initially planned, the limited time offering won't hit markets until late December. Bah humbug!
The rabid, post-Apocalyptic McRib frenzy that typically infects the American population each fall season around Halloween, is going to be pushed back this year.
When can you expect to enjoy it?
It was months ago that the words "Pink Slime" went viral. Photos, videos, description of this pink stuff that was going into our meat, were everywhere.
This month is Hunger Action Month for the High Plains Food Bank and they are hamming it up with Bakersville Cupcakes and Palace Coffee Company.
You can call them by their proper name, "Waffle Chip Dippers," all you want. Those, friends, are ice cream nachos. Baskin-Robbins is selling them at select locations for $2.99, which is significantly less than the cost of nachos that aren't made out of ice cream, last we checked.
Sometimes you want pizza and some days you just want cheese on that pizza and nothing else. That is why there is a National Cheese Pizza Day. Let's celebrate by having a cheese pizza for lunch. Well maybe not the whole pizza but a piece or two.
We're angry. Angry that somebody would take the time to make a cheeseburger so gigantic that it's actually kind of disgusting, and not even invite us over to have some of it. Well, Black Bear Casino, you can guess where we WON'T be going for vacation this year.
Labor Day in my mind means that summer is officially over. So why not celebrate today with a summer fruit that will be out of season soon. As you know I love watermelon, I posted a whole bunch of recipes recently. So today treat yourself to a tasty cool treat a watermelon Popsicle.
There are times when the dining area of a fast food joint looks more like the savage confines of an arctic wolf den with a pack of mangy inhabitants tearing a bloated caribou limb from limb.

The best part of a three night cruise, is you get to visit every restaurant once. Four night or longer and you start repeating, hoping not to get stuck repeating the one restaurant you didn't like.
On the other hand the longer voyages would give you an opportunity to experience all three rotation venues, and the chance to try Palo and/or Remy, or slum it at the quick service or Cabanas. Or when I get my 05E room with expansive Veranda I can order room service and eat on the aft deck and watch Castway Cay fade off into the distance.

This Holiday Season, Give A Gift of Lasting Change
CARE unveils e-catalog of gifts that help eliminate global poverty
CARE is one of the world's largest private international humanitarian organizations, committed to helping families in poor communities improve their lives and achieve lasting victories over poverty. The organization was founded in 1945, when 22 American organizations came together to rush lifesaving CARE Packages® to survivors of World War II. CARE quickly became a trusted vehicle for the compassion and generosity of millions. Originally located in New York City, we moved our headquarters to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1993. We are located at 151 Ellis Street, NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30303-2440 USA.
Keep learning:
In October 1993, the global poverty-fighting organization CARE moved its headquarters to Atlanta. Twenty years later, we held a celebration marking the special anniversary.
We seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security.
This week CBS Atlanta News is looking at CARE in our community. The nonprofit committed to ending extreme global poverty is celebrating 20 years in Atlanta, and there are Atlantan's focused on funding the work they're doing.
To honor and commemorate the International Day of the Girl, CARE, an Atlanta based humanitarian organization dedicated to fighting global poverty, held a celebration of art made by girls from around the world. The exhibition, dubbed "Through the Eyes of a Girl International Art Exhibit" was held Friday evening at the Mason Maurer Fine Art Gallery.
This week CBS Atlanta News has looked at how people in our community touch lives through CARE. The non-profit committed to ending extreme global poverty is celebrating 20 years in Atlanta. A group of volunteers recently went to Peru to see CARE's work firsthand.
For the humanitarian relief agency CARE, people are its tools. More than 10,000 of them work all over the world on everything from disaster relief to global health crises to women's empowerment to finding safe places for displaced refugees.

The former Hearts and Sunderland keeper, new manager Ronny Deila's only signing so far, was one of several changes to the side that won 1-0 against KR Reykjavik in their Champions League qualifier on Tuesday.
Captain for the day Kris Commons opened the scoring in the seventh minute with a drive from inside the box after being set up by Teemu Pukki.
However, the attacking midfielder was substituted just before the break, which may cause some concern ahead of the return game against KR Reykjavik at Murrayfield this Tuesday night.
Deila changed almost his whole side at the interval, but the home team levelled through Sylvano Comvalius in the 69th minute.
Celtic, meanwhile, have been promised an "immaculate" surface when they become the first to play on Murrayfield's new pitch on Tuesday in the return against Reykavik.
With Parkhead being used for the Commonwealth Games, the Premiership titleholders opted to take their European qualifiers to the capital to the home of Scottish rugby.
Murrayfield drew stinging criticism just a few months ago when, infested with root-eating roundworms, it made playing rugby extremely difficult during the Six Nations campaign.
The Scottish Rugby Union responded by laying a new £1.25 million hybrid surface, similar to that used by the likes of Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool, as well as at Twickenham and the Aviva Stadium.
Celtic will become the first to try out the Desso Grassmaster pitch but have been assured of a home from home they will be more than happy with after Scotland and Edinburgh Rugby backs Dougie Fife and Greig Tonks inspected the surface on Friday.
Tonks said: "It is immaculate. It's the same surface as the Liberty Stadium, that's shared by rugby and football clubs, Ospreys and Swansea FC, so it's proven to be well suited to fast flowing, elite-level football and rugby."

Up until a few months ago, I had been using my XBox to play DVD's because my standalone DVD player died. I'm using EvoX and have it set to autolaunch DVD's so I could use the XBox DVD remote and dongle. Since then, I bought a new DVD player and haven't played any in the XBox.
Last weekend I went away and took the XBox with me. I packed it in a padded case (similar to a laptop case) and secured it in the trunk for the long ride.
When I got it hooked up I tried several DVD's and couldn't get any to play. I get the ol' "Your XBox requires service" message with a number 21 in the top left corner.
I can play games (originals and DVD-R & CD-RW backups) and I can launch and use apps and emu's from the EvoX menu.
I disabled the autolaunch and tried XBMP and that didn't work either.
I recently upgraded the BIOS. I thought that may have been the problem so I reflashed the old EvoX 2.5 and still had the same problem (chip switches are set to flash BIOS from disc).
My chip is soldered to the alternate d0 on the bottom of the board.
Any ideas? If the wire came unsoldered or if one of the pogo pins isn't making contact then the whole chip would fail right? I made sure that my XBox had a nice cushy ride so I don't really think it got knocked around during the trip.
All that's changed since I last played a DVD is:
I set the chip switches to allow me to flash the BIOS from a disc
I upgraded the BIOS
I took it away on vacation.

Supreme Court suspended on July 10, 2014, the 42 million Br ruling in the Yonas Kassahun - Orchid case, following an appeal against it, filed by Orchid Business Group Plc.
This is a case that started on November 5, 2013, when Yonas, who says he has a catering business in Germany, filed a suit claiming for a payment of 42 million Br from Orchid for services he rendered to the latter in South Sudan in relation to the celebration of the country's Independence Day Anniversary, in 2011.
After the High Court's ruling in his favour, Yonas had the court decide to divert to him rental fees Salini Construction was to make to Orchid for use of its machinery at the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Orchid had that decision reverted by appealing to the sixth civil bench of the Court, leading to another appeal from Yonas to the vice president but, Orchid goes with reversal request to the president. Before the president could decide, however, Orchid took the case to the Supreme Court.
The appellate letter to the Supreme Court claims the lower court ruled in favour of Yonas without receiving and considering the weight of evidences and arguments it presented in its statement of defense.
Orchid, owned by Akiko Seyoum, is a family of companies engaged in road construction, the supply of construction materials, rental services of construction machinery and transportation.
Yonas claims that he had received a document confirming that he would get his payment in six months not from Orchid itself but from a company in Dubai, Sheldon International General Trading. One of the evidences Yonas presented included a payment agreement that was signed by Engida Workneh, deputy general manger of Orchid.
Orchid, nevertheless, denied not only having any deal with Yonas for the South Sudan celebration, but also that Sheldon is a sister company. Orchid's defense added that the plaintiff did not present any bank documents or pro forma invoices for the purchase of the items, and that the payment agreement signed by Engida could not represent the Company, adding also that the document was falsified.
This litigation, which seemed to end in favour of Yonas, met its challenge at the implementation, and now comes open to debate at the Supreme Court, following the decision of judges Desta Gebru, Adane Nigussie and Mekonnen Gebrehiwot, that the defendant has a case that it could appeal and suspended the High Court's ruling on July 10, 2014. The two are scheduled to debate their case on August 5, 2014.

Charleston, SC (PRWEB) August 19, 2014
Among the top trends in real estate today is the rising demand for communities with amenities that promote healthy lifestyles. Home buyers of all ages – from young families to retirees – are increasingly seeking homes located in walkable communities with direct access to trails, bike paths and other recreational amenities. This was a topic of much discussion at the annual National Association of Real Estate Editors Conference this summer, where editors shared the stories and topics they are getting the most reaction to this year. It's a trend that the developers of Carnes Crossroads, a new master planned community in Charleston, South Carolina, are addressing up front as the community begins to take shape.
Amenities that promote healthy and active lifestyles are at the core of the community that is emerging at Carnes Crossroads. The master plan for this 2,300-acre community carefully integrates traditional residential neighborhoods and retail areas, along with a system of scenic trails for walking, jogging and bicycling. Recreational amenities like parks, lakes, playing fields and a pool are also important elements of the community:
"Most people we talk with who are looking for a new home are just as interested in the lifestyle our community offers as they are the actual homes here," says Chuck Buck, Broker-in-charge at Carnes Crossroads Real Estate. "In fact, in a recent survey of our prospective buyers, 71% rated amenities like trails and parks, in particular, as 'very important' to their purchase decision," he added.
The Daniel Island Company, developer of Carnes Crossroads, is drawing upon its success at Daniel Island, an award-winning master planned community that has evolved as one of the top residential areas in Charleston, as they develop Carnes Crossroads. The success at Daniel Island is in part attributed to a comprehensive mix of homes, businesses, schools and world-class lifestyle and recreational amenities.
"We are community builders, and amenities that allow people to get beyond their homes and enjoy the greater community in which they live are what helps make the neighborhoods at Carnes Crossroads and Daniel Island so special," says Matt Sloan, President of the Daniel Island Company. "People want things to do nearby, ways to get out and meet and interact with neighbors and opportunities to stay active and fit. These are all integral elements of the community that is developing at Carnes Crossroads."
About Carnes Crossroads:
Carnes Crossroads, a 2,300-acre master planned community located in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina's growth, is evolving as a significant residential and commercial center for Summerville and Goose Creek. The traditional residential neighborhoods, southern architecture, parks, trails and lakes at Carnes Crossroads are being carefully integrated with retail businesses, corporate offices, medical facilities, schools and churches to create a small-town community where people live, work and play. The ownership and development team behind Carnes Crossroads is also responsible for the highly successful 4,000-acre community of Daniel Island in Charleston.

Re: nvidia 256.52 xorg-server 1.9.0 performance regression
This problem seems to be card specific since I have a GeForce 9600 GT (G94) and it is fine on 1.9.0 with AA fonts but with my GeForce 9500 (G96) it runs like a slouth with AA fonts. The issue is not with composition since I've tested it just running xterm (with Xft support enabled) and metacity and turning off composition in metacity makes no noticable difference.
The G96 runs fine on 1.8.2 with AA fonts. Both systems are using identical binaries from source compilation. I've attached bug reports from each systems. I would blame my system as it has a lot of old versions on it but as other people have reported similar problems I'm fairly certain it is somewhere in the render acceleration paths.

Looks great and classy- true Brian Bailey! This tank top fits me well, true to size Large. I bought taupe, orange, charcoal, and teal (the teal looks more a real green).A bit see through because they are a knit not a t-shirt type rayon.Fit is a bit tailored, but do fit my 40 inch tummy. Don't buy if you are larger there.Buy these while you can!!! An excellent addition to the wardrobe!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

SCP The Fear Pre Alpha Code. DL -1.0Nov 15, 2012 Demo 9 comments
First Release: Pre alpha testing. Feedback from community highly requested
The game you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this game, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
SCP – The Fear is a game project based on the still non-published SCP story called "The Fear". It is heavily inspired by SCP: Containment Breach, as the game takes place in Containment Area No. 563, where all hell breaks loose. You have had contact with almost every type of SCP, and the result is a new fear you develop. I don't really know what to say yet, the concept is still being built (very slowly), and the story is still being written. The game is still in Pre-Alpha development phase, which means you can't "Play" yet. I put up some DL so you can test it if you want to, but don't expect a triple A game. Not yet!
1 comment by Poctra on Nov 15th, 2012
Now lucky enough for all of you a while back we made up an alpha for some people to give insight upon.
This alpha as old as it is, will be released to you all as of now.
Along with that this is in no way a representation of the full game. This level was made for alpha testing and as such will not be a in the full product; as we are keeping those aspects of the game in a tight seal. With that said, the story has also been left out.
We strongly suggest sitting this out, if you are expecting anything more then a spooky warehouse simulator.
Notes: As this alpha was created previously to my arrival, my soundtracks WILL NOT be featured.
Refer to previous update before posting feedback.
All feedback will be received and reviewed at this inbox: email@example.com
*Check 'Downloads Page' for release*
First Release: Pre alpha testing. Feedback from community highly requested
I liked that secret. And the music plays if you go in-front of it. I guess he wanted to give credit to regalis (creator of SCP:CB and SCP-087-B) for the idea.
Looks great but yeah the flashlight should be brighter
Also, you need to make the flashlight a lot brighter, and make it possible for the flashlight to die, and add batteries for that.
True, but like I said..........
The darkness works very well, but there are a few problems that made me not want to leave the first room. You definitely need to make the voice volume a little louder, Try to make the hand appear onscreen so that you can tell if you can pick up an object, and finally and most importantly, FIX THE FRICTION, You walk unbelievably slowly, and then you slide like you are walking on ice. you barely move when you walk, then you slide like a ballerina that decided to go figure skating. ok that was a bit dramatic, but you still slide like the ground is ice. Let me know when you've tried to fix this, then I'll try it again.
You need to realize that the creator of this game, might be canceling the game.
What application should I run this with?
its an execuatable, just click the .exe and run the game

Vanderburgh County likely to begin 2012 with money in the bank
It was tough — and required the tapping of a reserve fund — but it appears the Vanderburgh County coffers had a little money left over at the end of 2011.
James Raben, council finance committee chairman, thanked county employees for their efforts while tough financial times that led to extra scrutiny by the council of most additional appropriation requests, including filling vacant positions.
"All the county departments and office holders realize, and have for the last couple years, and have worked close with us knowing that money's tight," Raben said. "They've seen it in their budgets that they submit to us. They're not asking for all the extra items and the extra people that they were accustomed to for years and years."
Raben expects 2012 to be a tough year as well. Three major factors are contributing to low revenues. County Auditor Joe Gries has said the county will receive millions less this year because of a combination of the state-mandated property tax caps, lower county-option income tax collections and less interest earned on investments.
"It's going to be a pretty tight year for next year," Gries said last week.
The council passed a $64 million general fund budget for the year that awaits final approval from the Indiana Department of Local Government Finance. That agency will also set the county's unallocated general fund level, the pot of money that funds additional expenses during the year.
The council warned department heads last January that there will be little extra money available in that pool, which ended 2011 with about $23,000. Raben called that amount "dimes and nickels," compared to some past years.
Though next year's budget proposal is slightly more than this year's $63.4 million plan, Councilman Tom Shetler called it the leanest budget he's seen during his tenure. Unlike this year, only employees due step increases will receive raises next year. In addition, despite a higher overall price tag of $10 million, the county decreased health insurance benefits and added a deductible for the first time due to skyrocketing premiums.
In fact, rising insurance costs caused the council to transfer $400,000 from one of three reserve funds.
The county originally budgeted $9.5 million for health care costs this year.
That reserve money came from money tucked away for construction of the new county jail, which was ultimately funded by bonds. After the transfer, which was the first time council dipped into its reserves for a general fund item, that fund has nearly $2.2 million, according to Gries.
Vanderburgh County also has a $4.9 million "rainy day" fund and a smaller reserve pool of $129,000 made up of excess county-option income tax collected during more lush times.
Gries predicted the council will need to tap into the county's reserves again this year. But he said taxpayers should not view the more than $7 million the county has in those funds as a primary funding source for county operations.

And whew, what an ultimately satisfying conclusion to VF.com's one-day-long, high-velocity coverage of trouble in Boy Scout–land: the kerchief-wearing, badge-sewing, cozy-tent-sharing elders of the self-serious after-school program (cooler than orchestra; lamer than yearbook) have voted to indeed allow their ranks to include gay scouts. "The move ends a ban that's existed throughout the organization's 103-year history," The Chicago Sun-Times reports, "but the reversal does not extend to openly gay adults, who are still not allowed to serve as scoutmasters or participate in other leadership roles."
Openly gay scouts who grow to scoutmaster age and still enjoy practicing outdoor survival skills among like-minded friends can instead join . . . the United States military? the Estonian military? the Taiwanese military?—all of which allow gays.
The Boy Scouts of America: less progressive than the Taiwanese army.

This should be no surprise what so ever.
As far back as the SWG-NGE, SOE took away all the different racial bonuses/penalties, because they do "shallow" gameplay, starting them, continuing to the present. At the beginning, the different races all help create the deep texture that made original SWG great: different languages for each race, different armor abilities, racial effects and bonuses. But then, SOE decided that all of their customers were stupid, and took that all away.
And here it is again.
This is just another example of "simplified everything", the new motto of SOE.

What happened was that it was easier for developers to balance the factions by homogenising them. Same with the class homogenisation in both EQ2 and WoW. Now every tank and every healer can do exactly the same thing.
It has nothing to do with the subset of PvP players, or subsets of PvE players who wanted their classes to be viable, its just lazy developers who put it in the 'too hard' basket for balancing and made everyone the same.

The goal of not letting folks' uninformed choices screw up their later gameplay seems pretty reasonable to me. Quality of implementation of this idea may, of course, vary.
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.
The more ambiguous the 'Great MMO Hope' is, the better it will be thought of, as it is just the mirror of each heart's desires. No real world MMO can survive contact with the players in comparison.

I doubt this is about saving money or time, its about appealing to a particular section of the gaming community, namely the NON MMORPG gaming community.
Funny thing is, while many MMOs are throwing out the RPG part many FPS games are adding more and more RPG elements.
What we know to date from what the devs have said
1. CLASS allowing all people to be all things but makes NO class/combination needed.
2. RACE changing the visual for your toon is the biggest difference between a Dark elf a gnome or an Ogre.
3. FACTIONS that will have NO lasting impact on your character, because if it did you may find yourself locked out of using that paladin or necro or cleric class.

Ohh yea of little minds. Why do you take thing to such extreames? They only said that the Race you chose at the start should not be a limiting factor in your ability to learn new classes. That was all. They did not say that faction would not be important. They did not say that your choice of race would make the game any easier. In fact it is entirely possible that chosing a stupid race to start may make it extreamly hard to learn any skills or classes dependant on Intelligence; not impossible but very hard. Likewise for a weak race trying to train to be a warrior. Or a slow race trying to a rogue. You can learn the other classes but you may not be very good at them without serious training.

In ye oldy days (you and the other derp talk about) it was easier to have diversity because MMOs weren't that hard to build in the first place ( even EQ 1's 3D environs hold no candle in terms of complexity to something of today when it comes to coding) but nowadays major shifts in design mid way through the production phase (nevermind something like a NGE) would be either impossible or extremely costly. The developers today have more tools but also have to meet far more stringent numbers in terms of profits and this is EQN, whoever invested in it wants it to be between EQ 1 and WoW levels of popular and you as the developer have to make sure that you're doing your best to meet that goal while also keeping in mind that your game needs to be different to stand out otherwise people will plug in, play for an hour then leave bored.
I am not defending SOE here or any developer in particular I just find it pants on head retarded to ask for realistic graphics then for complex gameplay then for meaningful choices from first log in all within a world that has to be massive or else it sucks. This sort of toxicity from people is what caused WoW clones to be made for so long and what is making most developers outright ignore the more dedicated part of the community because almost everyone in it are numptees who couldn't decide what they wanted as a group and catering to everyone would put GTA V's budget to shame.

I would expect most people posting here have an interest in the game and are hoping it may be a game they can enjoy
Discussing how it is evolving and expressing positive or negative criticism is what forums are about.
The effort by artists and creatives to build the complex art assets needed for any modern game can not be underestimated.
However this has little to NO impact on the effort put into developing a good game system and mechanic.
The developers CHOICE to make race a cosmetic option is just that... a choice made for the reasons they outlined and I quoted some pages back.
Hope by some here that race will have some in game effect on classes and abilities is just that HOPE, the devs have not given any details on this yet since the round-table where they admitted the original plan was to have class/race restrictions and they have now dropped that for reasons that may well make them drop any previously mentioned plans to have race/faction impact on classes and effectiveness

Criticism (the constructive kind at least) is objective and thus far you have nothing to objectively critique beyond words and some (possibly alpha) footage.
You do show a amazing lack of knowledge when it comes to programming though and how it is growing ever more complex which each generation of games. To use a comparison try and create a website template using Word (however rudimentary you want it to be) then try to do the same thing with php...then HTML5. Those art assets created by the 3D guys, those animations, everything has to be put in the game and has to work right unless you wanna see people's head unscrew themselves, water flowing sideways and other delightful things all of which require coding, allot of it and just for realism, if you want deep gameplay, more code gets put in, if you want meaningful choices that impact the world around you add in another gigantic portion of code, it balloons rather quickly out of control in complexity and all this code is what gets changed or tweaked in patches and if you're not careful or you built it to be extremely efficient you will get a butterfly effect due to changes.
You and all the other toxics can continue missing the obvious in front of your eyes and continue demanding the earth and the sky while also neglecting to check facts such as "they could do it back in the day! why not now!" but all you're doing in the end is proving to already stressed developers that the community as a whole isn't worth listening to.
Addendum: I am not a fanboi, my next MMOs will include Albion Online (whenever it hits closed alpha or beta) Gloria Victis ( same as Albion, though also waiting for the crafting system to get put in), EQN, War Thunder (once land combat and the persistent element gets put in), UWO and gonna take another dip in GW2. This in addition to Xenonauts and Gnomemoria which I plan on getting this coming week. Will I play all those MMOs at the same time? Unlikely unless I find a group to wander between them but I'll likely stick with 1-2 and drop in to the others I liked when bored to keep burnout risks low.

You are coming form a position of ignorance on so many levels its breathtaking.
The only point I will bother making is no game these days is made in the monolithic spaghetti way you suggest
Art assets, animation assets, logic, data and much more are handled with a high degree of abstraction.
EQN is NOT making race cosmetic because its too hard or takes too long to design races with difference.
They have stated quite plainly its a game design decision.

The devs said that they never wanted to put players in the position where they'd make decisions they'd later regret.
With over 40 classes, multi-classing, and all of the items in the world, the team felt that players would not be able to be informed enough to pick a race in the beginning if it would be restricted, class-wise, down the road.
Another issue is if the team added new races and classes in the future, they'd be forced to arbitrarily restrict some people from playing them due to information the players didn't have up front.

Design decisions are made because of multiple reasons but again you avoid the point I made, go look up the number of lines of code required to make EQ1 run then look up the lines of code in something more recent like say Dragon's Prophet or if you wanna be P2P only FF XIV.
Btw it's no coincidence that sandbox titles became less popular for developers as well around the time 3D graphics became allot more prevalent and sophisticated than the pre-EQ1 era ones.

The strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free.
Even if it is a bit unrealistic I can live with a game that makes all races functionally equivalent. It is a game after all. And I never have liked hard factions. What I really want to know about the races is if they will have separate starting areas as they did with EQ back in the day. Having a single starting point for everyone is the single worst design choice that most developers have made in the last decade. It may save money, but then cheap graphics, cookie cutter design and never trying anything new also saves money. Somethings are worth the extra effort and content is one of them. I want 20 races, each with their own unique home. Vanguard was another great example of this. Before they screwed that one up too.
All die, so die well.

What wondrously wicked webs we weave...
I joined the forums so that I could respond to the course this conversation has taken. While programming has become more complex throughout the years, you don't pay people for shoddy work. If they are incapable of utilizing the new technology and providing a product that we, as the consumers, want...then they shouldn't be paid for a half ass attempt geared towards doing nothing other than making a disposable product with drastically watered down mechanics. These aren't flash games.
I long for the day that developers stop being lazy and actually work towards a product that topples all of these watered down MMORPGs coming out. There's so many good ideas out there, and yet...they just don't deliver on their own dreams, let alone ours.
I've a heart of pure black jade, beating forth the ebon ink of shattered dreams. So spread those thighs my darlings, and let me hear those lustful screams... For twisting coils and silken strands, my venom coursing through your veins. It's my bliss you seek, to ease those troubled pains...

Patented Sept. 8, 1970 v 3,527,220
INVENTOR GEORGE DONALD SUMMERS ATTORNEYS IMPLANTABLE DRUG ADMINISTRATOR This invention relates to a device which can be implanted within an animal body for administering drugs or the like.
It has been proposed to implant a reservoir containing a drug or other medical preparation within a body cavity for purposes of administering the drug. to an animal. In such arrangements, the drug is generally permitted to escape into the body through perforations in the container or by diffusion through the container itself.
The prior art devices for this purpose have only attained limited utility principally because of their lack of reliability due, at least in part, to clogging of the container, and the obvious inconvenience of replacing an implantable container every time its drug supply is exhausted. Further drawbacks are the inability to situate the container in any desired area of the body while releasing the drug in a distant area ofthe body, and the lack of a practical monitoring device for assuring the proper operation of the system.
The present invention provides an improved implantable drug administration system which avoids the foregoing drawbacks and therefore is more reliable, easier to use, and of wider utility than known devices of this type.
Briefly, according to the invention, a drug is pumped from an implanted bladder by means of an implanted pump which is powered by an extra-corporeal magnetic field. The bladder includes a self-sealing port through which it can be refilled whenever desired. An implanted light source indicates the rate at which the drug is being pumped and thus can also be used to indicate the total dosage administered.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic view showing how the invention typically would be implanted within the body ofa human;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the invention prior to being implanted;
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram of the indicator circuit used in the preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 4 is a detailed cross-sectional view of the inlet tube of the invention illustrated in FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a detailed broken sectional view of the switch and the pump ofthe invention illustrated in FIG. 2.
In the specification and claims, the term "drug" is used in the broadest sense and includes all therapeutic and diagnostic agents such as hormones, vitamins, antibiotics, anticoagulants, cancericidal and spermicidal agents, vasoactive agents, and all other substances used to control, treat, or diagnose, or otherwise affect, physical or mental conditions (normal and abnormal) existing in and/or on an animal body.
Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention is shown as comprising a bladder and a pump 12 having an inlet line 14 connected to the lowermost point of bladder 10. The bladder 10 and pump 12 may be sutured in place within the abdominal cavity 16 of an individual, with a pump outlet line 18 leading into that portion of the body where it is desired to administer the drug.
Bladder 10 includes a port 20 which is self sealing and readily accessible from outside the individuals body although the port may be underneath the skin. A miniature light source 22 is sewn to bladder 10 within abdominal cavity 16, and, when energized, can be observed through the individuals skin. As explained below, light source 22 provides an indication of the dosage or amount of the drug within bladder 10 administered by the pump 12.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, pump 12 is of the type disclosed in the May/June 1967 issue of The Journal of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, in an article entitled A New Miniature Pump for the Treatment of Hydrocephalus" by Summers and Mathews. As explained in that article, pump 12 includes a rotor assembly which is coupled through a gear train to a rotatable magnetic disc. The rotor contains three peripheral rollers which cyclically compress a length of tubing between the pump inlet 14 and outlet l8 with a peristatic action, thereby forcing fluid from inlet 14 to outlet 18. Since this construction is known, it is not illustrated and described here in detail.
The pump is driven by a rotatable magnet 24 located outside the body and rotated by a motor 26 suitably coupled thereto. The rotation of magnet 24 rotates the pump magnet by the pull of its magnetic field thus pumping the drug from bladder 10 through pump inlet tube 14 and outlet tube 18. This particular pump is highly desirable since it can be powered without penetrating the skin (exclusive of implantation), the advantages of which are self-evident. The specific pump per se, however, forms no part of this invention. The manner in which the invention is employed is obvious from the preceding explanation. After the bladder 10 and pump 12 have been implanted, the drug to be administered is injected into the bladder by means of a hypodermic needle and syringe or the like inserted through the seal-sealing plug 20. Thereafter, whenever it is desired to administer the drug, the motor 26 is energized to rotate magnet 24 thus driving pump 12 as explained above. The operation of the pump will cause the drug within bladder 10 to be administered through the distal end of outlet tube 18 wherever it is positioned.
The light source 22 may be energized a predetermined number of times during each revolution of the pump rotor to indicate that the pump is operating and to provide a measure of the dosage administered.
FIG. 2 shows certain specific details of the bladder 10, pump 12 and the energizing means for lamp 22. The pump is retained within a sealed stainless steel (or plastic) casing 30 which includes a flange 32 having apertures 34 by means of which the pump may be sewn into the body. A coil 36 is wrapped around a diameter of casing 30, with the coil leads 37 and 38 coupled, respectively to a miniature switch 40 within casing 30 and to the-lamp 22. Switch 40 (shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3) is a single-pole, single-throw (normally open) switch which can be closed in any suitable fashion each time a roller of the pump rotor traverses the pump tubing between inlet 14 and outlet 18. The operation of a preferred embodiment of switch 40 is explained below with reference to FIG. 5.
When the magnet 24 is rotated by motor 26, the resultant rotating magnetic field intersects coil 36 inducing a current in the coil. Accordingly, each time the contacts of switch 40 are closed, an energizing current is coupled to the light source 22. Thus, the energization of the light, which can be seen through the skin, indicates that the pump is operating properly. Since the volume amount of the drug displaced between successive rollers by rotation of the pump rotor is known, the flashes of light source 22 can be counted to measure the total administered dosage of the drug.
The bladder 10 includes an inner layer 50 coated with an outer layer 52 which is compatible with animal tissue. Various silicone rubber compositions are suitable for use as layer 52, representative examples being given in US Pat. No. 3,279,996 of Long. Since diffusion may occur through a silicone rubber layer, the inner layer 50 must be impervious to and not degraded by the drug used. Standard latex rubber is suitable for many purposes as the material of inner layer 50. The use of the silicone rubber layer provides a degree of selfsealing in the event the bladder is accidentally punctured during filling.
The self-sealing port 20 comprises a ring 54 made of a tissue compatible material such as a polycarbonate resin or stainless steel filled with a silicone rubber material 56 to a depth of about .25 inches. If necessary, an inner layer (not shown) of a material impervious to the drug may be used. The raised ring 54 enables the doctor to locate the port 20 through the skin. Where ring 54 is made of magnetically permeable material it can be located by a common stud finder or the like.
A stiff plastic or metal striker plate 58 is bonded to the interior layer 50 opposite port 20 as protection against accidental puncture of the bladder during injection of the drug. To ensure injection of the drug into the bladder, the inner surface of the port may be made concave so that there will always be a space between the port and striker plate 58.
As noted previously, the invention is not limited to any specific drug, and the drugs may be administered directly into tissue, organs, muscle, or body fluid (including blood). The
particular function in this respect will determine the size and construction of the needle or other termination of the outlet tube 18. As a specific example tube 18 may terminate in a rounded end 62 having side slots 64 through which the drug is dispensed. This construction will tend to prevent body fluid from entering tube 18 without interfering with the exit of the drug. A woven tube 66 (for example, of Dacron) may be bonded to the exterior surface of tube 18. Animal tissue will grow into tube 66 to help anchor the tube in the desired area of the body and to seal the penetration site against flow of body fluids.
The light source may comprise a diode made of gallium arsenide phosphide, requiring a forward bias of about 1.5 to 2.0 volts. It is less than a tenth of an inch in diameter and has an overall length of about an eighth of an inch, including the lens cap. It is rated at 50 foot-Lamberts brightness at a forward bias of 1.65 volts and forward current of 50 milliamperes. At that voltage it has a continuous forward current rating of 100 milliamperes.
In order to achieve maximum optical transmission through the skin, it is desirable to choose a wavelength in the zone of greatest skin transparency. However, this wavelength would be unsuitable as maximum transparency lies in the near-infrared region and is not visible to the human eye. On the other hand, the region of maximum sensitivity of the light-adapted human eye, about 570 millimicrons, is poorly transmitted through the skin. The wavelength of the selected lightemitting diode, in the 600-to-700 millimicron region, provides a compromise. The skin is reasonably transparent at this wavelength and the eye can easily detect the rich red color.
Some data on the depth of penetration of optical frequencies into the human have been reported. Penetration depth varies with skin pigmentation and is in the range of about two millimeters maximum. Data for transmission outward is not available, but in experiments the diode-emitted light was easily visible in a darkened room through chicken skin and tissue for depths of more than 8 millimeters. I
The energizing circuit for light source 22 is shown in FIG. 3. It is a simple series circuit and also includes a protective diode 70 which prevents the application of excessive back voltages to the light source 22.
In place of the coil 36, the power to operate lamp 22 may be provided by a battery or photo-voltaic cells. Also the coil 36 may be made responsive to an inductive or RF electromagnetic field.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the electrical leads are covered with an insulating material 72 (FIG. 4) such as Teflon and the solder joints coated with an epoxy (not shown). The wires are then bonded to the inlet tube 14 and the entire construction coated with a suitable silicone rubber composition 74.
A preferred construction for switch 40 is shown in FIG. 5. The pump includes a steel ring 80 within the pump casing 30. The pump rollers (one of which is shown at 82) compress the tubing 84 between inlet and outlet tubes 14 and 18 against ring 80. Switch 40 thus comprises the ring 80, a pressure sensitive paint 86, and a terminal 88 which is insulated from ring 80. The switch leads 37 and 37 are mechanically coupled through casing 30 (and suitably sealed) into electrical contact with ring 80 and terminal 88, respectively.
Paint 86 is ofa type which undergoes an increase in conductivity upon application of pressure thereto. (A suitable paint of this type is manufactured by Clark Electronics Laboratories of Palm Springs, California and sold under the trademark Micro-Ducer (type 9A).) Thus, each time a roller 82 passes over the terminal 88, the resultant increase in pressure closes" switch 40 to energize the light source 22.
Obviously, other switch constructions may be employed with the invention. A magnetically actuated mechanical switch would be of particular utility since it would enable a simple means for testing whether the signalling system was in proper working order by applying an external magnetic field to latch the switch in its closed condition. If, because of the magnetic fields required to operate pump 12, such a switch could not be employed in place of switch 40, a normally open switch of this type could be located at the bladder 10 and placed electrically in parallel with the contacts of switch 40. Such a switch is shown in dotted lines at in FIG. 3.
The visual signalling system of the invention would have utility in other applications apart from the specific case herein illustrated. For example, it could be used to test the continuity of circuits where breakage or interruption of leads is a problem (as with cardiac pacemakers).
Use of the invention is specifically contemplated in the treatment of diabetics or for chemotherapy of a carcinomatic condition. It could be used for the daily administration of a contraceptive, in the treatment of Hansens disease and in the administration of some hormones..The invention, however, is not in any respect limited as to its utility in special situations.
It is intended that the various parts of the invention will be sealed and coated with a tissue compatible material (such as silicone rubber) to whatever extent is required. Since silicone rubber is not a sealant, it may be necessary or desirable to coat the parts with a sealant (e.g. an epoxy) prior to applying the silicone rubber coating.
The invention can be used in many different ways to inject varying amounts of a drug ranging, for example, from microliters per day to milliliters per day. It can be used continuously and, conceivably, actuation of the pump may be made automatically responsive to a measurable body condition (e.g. oxygen partial pressure in the blood) or responsive to a programmed time schedule. The pump rotor can be made to rotate in both directions whereby a single pump can be used in conjunction with two bladders (and suitable valves) to selectively pump drugs from either bladder.

|The integration of scientific knowledge and military power began long before the Manhattan Project. In the third century BC, Archimedes was renowned for his research in mechanics and mathematics as well as for his design and coordination of defensive siegecraft for Syracuse during the Second Punic War. This collection of essays examines the emergence during the early modern era of mathematicians, chemists, and natural philosophers who, along with military engineers, navigators, and artillery officers, followed in the footsteps of Archimedes and synthesized scientific theory and military practice. It is the first collaborative scholarly assessment of these early military-scientific relationships, which have been long neglected by scholars both in the history of science and technology and in military history.The book begins with the innovation of gunpowder weaponry in both Christian and Islamic states of the late medieval and Renaissance eras. Other topics include the cultural resistance to scientific techniques; the relationship of early modern science and naval power, particularly the intersecting developments in mathematics and oceanic navigation; the efforts by early practitioners and theorists of chemistry to increase the power and consistency of gunpowder; and the application of advanced scientific knowledge and Enlightenment ideals within the military engineering and artillery organizations of the eighteenth century.

Photographer Justin Poulson promotes his services using a realistic-looking thumb-shaped USB drive made from a mold of his own digit.
The software and server company says Intel itself maintains that the server chip family is "nearing the end of its life," though Intel and Hewlett-Packard say Oracle is dead wrong.
At San Francisco conference, chipmaker is offering a peek at the processor code-named Poulson, whose improvements include better power management.
As the processor underpinning Hewlett-Packard's Integrity line, Itanium remains an important component that can't be easily replaced.
Chipmaker delays a high-end server processor originally expected as long ago as 2007.
Everyone's favorite whipping boy, Intel's Itanium server processor, is still on the road map well into the next decade.

Coach Josh Pastner vows to keep Memphis Tigers basketball strong
Josh Pastner had already turned in the car that came with his old job at the University of Memphis, and all that remained was one more trip to the office to pack up whatever was left before heading to Kentucky.
Then the phone rang. And just like that, his career and this city's college basketball program were changed forever.
Unaware he was even a candidate to become the 17th head coach in school history when he woke up Monday morning, Pastner, 31, was introduced Tuesday as the new face of Memphis basketball and promised to maintain the standards of excellence set by his predecessor and former boss, John Calipari.
"When you get an opportunity like this, what the University of Memphis has given me, it's humbling," Pastner said. "And I 100 percent realize, totally realize, the responsibility that's been given to me. I believe in myself. I've prepared myself my entire life for this."
Pastner agreed to a five-year contract for a total of $4.4 million, a significant raise from his $200,000 salary as an assistant last season, his first at Memphis. Before joining the Tigers, Pastner was part of the University of Arizona program as a player (1997-2000) and assistant (2000-08) under Hall of Fame coach Lute Olson.
A native of the Houston area, Pastner inherits a Memphis program coming off a four-year run of unprecedented success, including a trip to the NCAA championship game in 2008. While acknowledging the possibility of tumult in the wake of Calipari's departure, Pastner said he was confident in his ability to bring in talented players and keep Memphis competitive at a high level.
Athletic director R.C. Johnson called Pastner "one of the most successful Division 1 recruiters of all time," a major reason he handed the reins to someone with no head coaching experience. Pastner is now the second-youngest head coach in Division 1, older than only Dane Fife of Indiana-Purdue Fort Wayne.
"Age is overrated," Pastner said. "It's about production. The guys I've been around have been winning. The level of program this is, I've been around that."
Pastner's hiring was met with praise by the current group of players, many of whom were thought to be headed elsewhere after Calipari took the Kentucky job.
Freshmen Wesley Witherspoon and Angel Garcia confirmed their commitments to Memphis — "We all signed to play at Memphis, and that's what we're going to do," Witherspoon said — while others will spend the coming days evaluating their futures.
Freshman star Tyreke Evans was likely headed to the NBA regardless of the coaching situation, but junior forward Shawn Taggart said playing for Pastner would be a factor in his decision to return if he is not projected to be a top-35 pick in the draft.
"I'm happy with the hire because he knows what we like, what we don't like, how the system was last year," Taggart said. "He knows the personnel already. He's been with us a year already. He's been an assistant coach for a lot of great players, and so this is a good hire."
It's still unclear whether any of the four recruits who signed with Memphis last fall will stay on board.
Pastner promised to play a high-energy, up-tempo brand of basketball that would combine elements of his Arizona background and his time under Calipari. Part of Pastner's recruiting pitch, he said, will be to give players freedom on the offensive end if they are willing to defend and rebound.
Pastner promised to help Memphis reconnect with the local talent base in recruiting, something Calipari failed to do during his nine-year tenure. At the same time, Pastner said he would not back down from recruiting the kinds of elite players Calipari brought to Memphis.
"Coach Cal or coach (Bill) Self (at Kansas), do they have better track records than me? Of course," Pastner said. "They've been head coaches longer than I have, but part of it will be developing relationships with the kid, and I've got to work like an assistant coach would work recruiting the kid. That's what will have to separate me is that trust where the kid wants to play for you. That's what it boils down to."
For Pastner, who is engaged to be married later this year, his ascendancy to the Memphis position was a confluence of circumstances nobody could have predicted a year ago. In fact, it was just last spring that Pastner interviewed for but was not offered the head coaching job at Conference USA rival Rice.
Pegged as a rising star in the profession, Pastner had his pick of assistant coaching jobs last year and chose to come to Memphis instead of Marquette. It was a decision designed to enhance his credentials for a head coaching job, but he could not have imagined the way things would work out.
After Memphis was rebuffed by a number of high-profile coaches last week, Pastner was offered and accepted the job on Monday in a matter of hours. Suddenly and unexpectedly, the duty of maintaining the program Calipari built into a powerhouse was his.
"It's a transition period," Pastner said. "It's not going to be easy for anybody. Nobody expected this to happen, but now that we are where we are, we have to go with it and stay together."

18 dead, many trapped in Lagos building collapse
Another building went down in Lagos on Tuesday night.
One of the men on rescue mission told our reporter at about 10.30p.m. that no fewer than 18 bodies had been recovered and taken to Agoro mosque in Idumota, Lagos Island.
About 40 people, including children, rescued from the debris were injured – some of them seriously.
Some residents were wailing from under the rubble, as rescue operation continued, more than 10 hours after the four-storey building collapsed.
Neighbours said house No 6, Mogaji Close, Idumota, went down during the rain, which began at about 8.00p.m.
The building was said to have been erected about 10 years ago. It is joined by a fragile platform to the next house, No 4, where the landlord's wife, who died in the incident, was said to have had a plastic shop.
A trapped woman was crying: E jo, e tete gbe wa, o tin re mi (Please, get us out of here quickly, I'm getting tired ... We are many here.) Her voice was faint.
The whereabouts of the landlord, identified simply as Eletuwashe of Lagos (a.ka. Tao Let), was unknown.
Rescuers comprised neighbours, the Nigerian Red Cross, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Lagos State Physical Development Authority (LASPHYDA), Lagos State Ambulance Services (LASEMBUS) and many others.
A resident, Mr. Adeogun, who was said to have travelled overseas, was lucky. His wife, Iya Risi, and his two sons were rescued alive with their mother, the residents said.
Another resident, Mr. Tajudeen, popularly called Coach, leader of the Community Development Association (CDA), Idumota was getting set for a good night sleep with members of his family when he was suddenly hit by one of the falling pillars.
His wife, a witness said, suffered broken bones while she was being pulled out. She is in a coma. 'Coach', who was dragged out of the building around midnight, was injured. He is admitted at a private hospital.
A new couple, Mr and Mrs Taofik, moved into the house on the fateful day. They died.
Their remains were pulled out last night.
Another resident, Mr. Oluwa, was trapped under the ruins with two of his children – a boy and a girl. Rescuers pull the boy out but the girl died.
Another woman, Mama Ahmed, who neighbours described as a very helpful and pleasant, was under the debris with her husband and four children. She died at the time she was being rescued but her husband and the children survived.
Commissioner for Physical Planning and Urban Development Mr. Toyin Ayinde said: "We got the information as early as 7.30-8.00am yesterday, and we immediately deployed our men from the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and LASPHYDA, to the scene. The building is not under construction. It is an old building. And it is one of those listed as decrepit and the owner had been advised to vacate the building because it was identified as unsuitable for habitation. The standard rule for now is that the owner of any collapsed structure forfeits such properties to the government.
Lagos Police spokesman Sam Jinadu, a Deputy Superintendent, said policemen were deployed immediately they received the distress call to join the rescue efforts and ensure that looters did not take advantage of the situation to carry out criminal activities.
The building, it was learnt was built about 10 years ago, by a property developer, one Chief Taofeek Eletu.
Residents said the sudden collapse of the building indicated that substandard materials might have been used for its construction.
Businesses and vehicular movement were stalled in the area as a result of the incident.
A survivor, Oliver Nzubeikeja, who is a trader, said he was in his room with his sister when the house collapsed.
"The building collapsed on us. We were trapped until the youths rescued us. We were on the third floor," he said.
As he spoke, a woman simply identified as Mama Lad, was brought out of the rubble dead.
An eyewitness, Ahamed Taofik, told The Nation that rescue operation started immediately after the house collapsed and that before morning, five dead bodies had been recovered.
Another survivor, Stephen Egede, a commercial bus driver, said the grace of God saved him.
According to him, he had just entered the bathroom to take a shower when he noticed that the building was shaking.
"My brother, I abandoned what I was doing and jumped out of the house. It was God that saved me. I do not know how to thank Him. My wife and my two-month old daughter also escaped unhurt" Egede said.

How frustrating! you need to threaten them with the bowel disrupter. This seems to be happening rather a lot. S
I fucking hate when people do that to me. Threatening them with the bowel disrupter is too good for them: hitting them with shat into unconsciousness should be the punishment for a first offense and escalating from there.

Using suggestions made by Director Leach (based on his years of working with gold at San Francisco), the Philadelphia Mint changed the way they milled the coin blanks. These alterations allowed coins to be struck with almost no fin and met with full approval from Roosevelt, "The President was greatly pleased with the sample of the lot now being struck off on the Medal press." Although the coins were noticeably superior to earlier pieces, engraver Charles Barber was concerned: "All the coins now made are the same, which gives me alarm, as they are so well made that I fear the President may demand the continuance of this particular coin."
Ultimately, cost and low productivity prevented more extensive coining of the high relief version. According to Roger Burdette, approximately one-third of the 12,367 pieces struck were of the finless variety. As with other High Relief twenties, they were shipped to sub-Treasuries in small bags that contained 250 pieces with little done to prevent nicks and scrapes. Only 58 High Relief coins were included with the Treasurer's little hoard of gold in 1912. All had been sold by February 1913 for an average of just $23.00 each.
Of all the variations on the initial double eagle design presented to the President in December 1906, the High Relief, Flat Rim coins are closest to a golden realization of Saint-Gaudens final design. Detail, execution and overall appearance are closest to the sculptor's last Very High Relief models of March 1907. Although the much-exalted Extremely High Relief experimental pieces get more publicity, it is this--an almost accidental coin--that truly embodies the artistic collaboration of Theodore Roosevelt and Augustus Saint-Gaudens.
This is a magnificent, Gem example of the Flat Rim variant. The surfaces have thick, satiny mint luster and are sharply defined, as one would expect from a coin that was struck three times with a hydraulic press. The MS65 grade, of course, precludes any noticeable or mentionable contact marks. Simply magnificent quality.

Customer Reviews of Guillemot Thrustmaster Ferrari GT Experience Racing Wheel - Cable - PC, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3
This is a great wheel for the ps3. I have burnout paradise, blur, split second, need for speed shift, and motorstorm. It works great with all of them. It has a feature to where you can map any of the buttons to different buttons. The gas pedal is automatically mapped to the R2 button as the brake button is automatically mapped to the L2 button by default. It has different sensitivity settings and a great feel as well as button placement. I also have the logitech gt wheel which is also a great wheel but I find myself using this wheel more. Mainly because it works on all racing games, the gt wheel only works with some games. It doesn't have force feedback which is the only real drawback I have to say about this wheel. I bought this wheel before I bought the gt wheel and I'm glad I did. I have never had any problems with this wheel so far, just make sure you plug it in before you turn on your ps3 with the wheel switched to the ps3 instead of pc. With that said I have plugged it in after I turned on my playstation in the middle of a game while paused and it still worked. Overall great wheel, very universal as far as compatablility with other games, and wheel and pedal unit just feels great while driving.
Great While it Lasted3/22/2012
Which was about 30 days before the paddle shifter quit working. The shifter is not physically broken, it just quit working. For less than 40 bucks this seems to be a pretty fair wheel assuming the replacement wheel lasts. Certainly this is not an expensive high quality, and accurate wheel but it looks and feels to be pretty good overall quality. You get used to the only 180 degree wheel turning radius. Sent it back to buy.com for exchange / replacement so we'll see how well Buy.com's 45 day return policy works out.
Great Product & Excellent Service1/4/2011
This is a great product for someone who is looking for something that replaces dual shock to play racing games. I have used this for over a week now and I would definitely recommend this product. Took few minutes to figure out how to use to use this control for the Formula1 game as it was only recognizing dual shock and I had to turn it off for the wheel to work. Once done and changing the sensitivity it worked great. The buy.com service was outstanding as the product was delivered within 3 days of ordering (even with budget shipping)
Love It12/28/2010
Wife bought me this for Christmas. Connected easily, software downloaded quickly and I have been racing ever since. I have been using this with Dirt 2 and love the feel of the road through the vibration. I have had absolutely no trouble getting this working and using it.
