Got to soutwick just before 10am. Gave Phil a buzz and he was 6 minutes out so I waited for him to show before I unloaded and geared up. Right on time Phil shows up and we get signed in and he points out the important stuff, like where the track is and how to get on it properly. Sounds silly but even after him telling me I found it just a little confusing as how to get on and I hate to be the idiot thats going the wrong way, or the one they talk about "How the fuck did he manage to do that?"
I get to the starting gate and sit for a few, watch the bikes go around and get a general feel for the pulse of track. It seems everyone is pretty laid back and just doing what they want. Some are going hard at it, others are taking it easy. No one seems to mind what the others riding style is. This is good as I want to go out and just go around the track nice and easy the first time but was worried about being the slow noob on the track.
Starting line Brap Brap!!!
Here I am bikes running I'm geared up and ready to do my first lap on an official motocross track. I start off down the start line nice and easy and reach the funnell into the track.Stop and wait for some bikes to go, No one coming ok here I go... Pull out onto the track get ready for the first turn, get up on the tank lean that body over the front end....Wham I'm on my ass
.. WTF?!?!?!?! Oh wait this is sand...Damn It!!! Get back on the bike and get going again and prepare for the next turn. Stand up, ass back, no front brake and stay on the throttle, any unsteadiness means more gas...and... Made it through
Now mind you I was probably only doing 2 or 3 miles an hour but it felt fast
The track, which is all sand, was horrible and wonderful at the same time. Its been so dry there is nothing that could be done with it grooming wise. Some spots were probably 10 or 12 inches of loose sand I thought it was all soft but Phil claims he found the one spot that wasn't. He came to that conclusion after a get off that took him off the bike for the rest of the day. It seemed that most everyone could only do about 3 laps before coming back off to rest. You had to fight the bike everywhere. To me that was a plus as it made for a very steep learing curve. I learend to ride sand in a 1/2 lap and felt very experienced at it after just a handful of laps. By experienced I mean I sucked just as much in sand as I do at every other type of terrain or my riding was limited by me, not the track surface.
The rest of the day consisted of me doing between 2-4 laps and taking a water break and letting my arms un pump then going back out. Watching the videos when I got home I was happy with my progression. My first laps had me around a 5 minute lap time, yes I know I suck, and the last ones which was maybe half way through had me down to about 2.5 minutes, yes I know I still suck.
The best part of the day and I wish I had a picture or video of it was when my family showed up. the, wife, kids and dog decided to take the 90 mile trip and show me some support. As I came around one turn there they were on the other side of the fence each holding a sign. K E N. Made my day, !!!!!!!! Shortly after that I went down again but this time almost went head first into the bottom of the dryed up pond that you can see at the 10second mark of my crash video.. Feeling I was really tired out by this time, I decided it would be best to stop for the day. I didn't think I could gain any more experience as I could basically just sit on the bike and putt around.. So marked the end of MX Day
Lessons learned:
Phil was kind enough to let me try his YZ125 around the track and this helped me figure out somethings about my own bike, Most I knew but it confirmed my suspicions. Riding on the MX track itself led me to the initial discovery of the problems with the bike. My times on the YZ were probably close to the same but what I discoverd was that the YZ did not exhaust me like my 200 did. I could do a complete lap standing and pushing it vs the KTM where at about a 1/2 lap I was starting to get tired.
The shifter on the KTM requires me to lift my whole foot off the peg to upshift, I was aware of this but it never caused too much of a problem, I actually tried to adjust it down a spline but when I did it hits the frame before it will down shift.. Im going to try just replacing the shifter I hope its bent otherwise there is a chance the shift crap inside the motor is worn.
The new boots I got have left me searching for the brake pedal. More testing and investigation is required to determine if the pedal is bent in too much or if Im just un coordinated.
The bars are too low I need to raise them. When standing I am leaned over putting a bunch of weight on my forearms creating pretty much instant arm pump.
Grips. You can't hold on to old worn out grips... I now understand when people talk about bike ads that say never raced and you are better off with one that is. Stuff that you can get away with on a weekend rider you cant if you want to race and be any good at it. while on that subject the owner of REP who did my forks was at the track.. He told me why the bike felt so fucked up before. Somewhere along the line someone used a vice grip to work on the internals and stripped the crap out of one of the bolts.. the forks were filled with chunks of aluminum which got lodged in the valves keeping them stuck open... I pulled the rear shock off this am.. It's in a box and will be on the way to REP Tomorrow.
Again I learned just how out of shape I was. It continues to amaze me that I can reach a level of exhaustion in 2-3 minutes on a motorcycle that I cant reach jogging a few miles, doing basic exercises or even some of the pretty hard manual labor jobs that I often find myself doing. I need to ride more both for the experience and for the physical conditioning. I came off the track with a determination to do so. So Im giving up tagging and cruising and recreational riding. The hours I spend or should say used to spend doing that will be replaced with real off road riding. I'm all in .. 2012 Kenny61 is going racing
On the plains of hesitation lie the blackened bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory lay down to rest, and in resting died.
Go forth and be a force of the awesome!

Recipe by PRINCESSKAROLY
"This is a rich, soft waffle with lots of taste. The batter is thick, will spread some on its own."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 1/2 cups
vanilla fat-free yogurt
1 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
baking powder
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 teaspoon
kosher salt
1/2 cup
I happen to be out of Crisco, I substituted vegetable oil in equal amounts. For me, the batter was a bit thinner than what I'm used to but the waffles were passable. We liked the flavor that the yogurt gave to these waffles. I think if I make these again, I'd take Sarah May's advice and cut back on the fat called for in this recipe by half.
As written this recipe is too greasy, I got a much nicer result when I subbed a little less than 1/4 cup of canola oil for the shortening. The waffles turned out very soft and fluffy.
26 Ratings
I thought the flavor was fine, but I don't think all the fat is necessary. I prefer waffles that are light and moist on the inside and lightly crispy on the outside.
Hard to rate this since I changed it a bit per other reviews. I used 1/4 cup oil instead of 1/2 cup shortening. I also added 1tsp of vanilla for more flavor. I whipped the eggs before adding everything else. These were the lightest, fluffy waffels i've ever made and we loved them!
This is a very good recipe. It is thick,but it spreads well.It was a very soft waffle. I only used 6Tbsp of melted shorting. They were not greasy at all. I will be making these again.
Love how easy and simple these were to make. I took the advise of reviewer Sarah-May and subbed out the shortening and replaced with a 1/4 C of oil. It was perfect, they were light, fluffy and not at all greasy.
Yum! I had some extra yogurt that was about to go bad so I decided to give this a try (I did not have high expectations). I was surprised at how delicious this was! I used plain yogurt, and 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/4 all purpose, and about HALF the shortening. This is my new favorite waffle recipe, thanks for sharing!
makes a little over 4 cups of batter. it took about a cup of batter to make 1 waffle. i would cut back on the shortening as it was a little greasy. but the little one gobbled them up so i will be making again.

Cute as a Button Tree Pillow
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.

It's as simple as black and white-decorative throw pillows from Shelley Detton are easy and fun! This Cute as a Button Tree Pillow is just the thing if you're looking for easy sewing projects. Find little buttons with leaves on them for a cute autumn design!
- 1 square of fabric, cut at 13.5"
- Fusible interfacing, cut at 13"
- Fabric covered buttons
- Pencil
- Xacto knife
- Hot glue gun
- 4 strips of border fabric, cut to 1.5" wide
- 2 rectangles of fabric, cut to 15" x 11"
Fuse interfacing to backside of fabric, leaving 1/4" border around all edges of fabric without interfacing (to reduce bulk when sewn together).
Place the fabric covered buttons where you want them to go, leaving at least 2.5" with no buttons all the way around or you'll have a terrible time trying to sew the pillow together later on. I used 2 different sized buttons and alternated them in rows.
Use a marker or fabric pencil and carefully put a dot beneath each button where the shank touches the fabric.
Moving one button at a time, carefully poke through the fabric and interfacing at each marked dot with a tiny Xacto knife or other very small tool. If the hole/slit is too big, you'll struggle later on. Gently push/coax the shank of the button through the fabric and interfacing. If the hole is small, the button will stay in place for now.
When all buttons are pushed through, carefully turn fabric over to access all the shanks poking through the backside.
Using a hot glue gun, squirt a small but generous blob of hot glue around each shank, making sure that the glue oozes inside the little loop of the shank to hold it in place and keep the fabric from fraying around the hole. Let harden thoroughly.
Stitch border fabric to sides, press, and trim.
Add 2 more strips to top and bottom of pillow. Press and trim.
Press backing (rectangles) under 1/4" of one of the 15" edges on each rectangle. Press under again to hide the raw edges. Stitch along that "hem".
Place pillow front face up on table. Place the 2 rectangles face down, aligning outer raw edges so that there is about a 3" overlap over the middle of the pillow. Pin in place all around outer edge of pillow.
Stitch 1/4" all the way around, clip corners to reduce bulk. Turn right side out, press edges.
- To create flange, "stitch in the ditch" all the way around the pillow where the border meets the main fabric. Insert pillow form and you now have one very cute pillow!

text: While on my road trip recently, the tires on my DRZ400SM were going bald. They were alright before I left but the rear tire began to show a "scratch" line in the middle and it got longer and longer each time I rode. So my riding partner and I headed towards Idaho Falls to see if there were shops that might have the right tires. On the way, we saw a sign board Rexburg Motorsports. We stopped by and wow, we could not believe how helpful one of the guys was (name Cody). He called various nearby shops to see if they had the tires that might fit my bike since Rexburg did not have the right tire size. Then he said that Bott in Idaho Falls might have the tires. So we continued to Idaho Falls and found Bott. Immediately, the guys there started changing the tires since they knew we were on a road trip. Within an hour, everything was done. Thanks to these guys for their great service. We happily went on our way. The rest of the story is here: http://www.pnwriders.com/ride-reviews-destinations/76709-trip-nowhere.html

An apology to sharks
Think twice if fins are a menu item.
Copyright 2014: Houston Chronicle | August 15, 2014 | Updated: August 18, 2014 10:23am
Photo By Scott Butherus/MBRIn this photo taken in May 2014, Dr. Matt Ajemian, left, and Dr. Greg Stunz, right, of the Harte Research Institute collect samples and measurements from a 11-foot tiger shark while Naples Daily News journalist Scott Butherus, center, inserts a tracking tag at the base of its dorsal fin off the coast of Juno Beach, Fla. during the filming of a documentary that was featured on Discovery Channel's Shark Week this week.

Sharks inspire fear. But the absence of sharks in the Gulf of Mexico should be just as frightening.
The Gulf's population of great sharks has declined by 90 percent. Sharks are especially vulnerable to extinction because of their slow reproduction rates. "Without sharks, you cannot have a healthy ecosystem," Greg Stunz, a marine biologist at the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies in Corpus Christi said. "They are the top predators, so they really control what happens below them" ("Gulf's sharks may get the law on their side," Page A1, May 20, 2013).
Experts say that industrialized fishing of sharks is one factor leading to the decline in oysters, which sustain a large Gulf Coast industry and provide a marquee seafood for our region. Hammerhead, tiger and bull sharks eat the rays that prey on the oysters.
The U.S. Coast Guard on Tuesday seized more than 200 sharks from multiple Mexican fishermen off the Texas coast. Illegal fishing "is practically a daily occurrence on the maritime border," said Cmdr. Daniel Deptula, Response Officer at Coast Guard Sector Corpus Christi. State law limits fishermen to one shark per day, and federal law requires that sharks be landed with fins attached. But the ocean is vast and the laws are difficult to enforce.
Commercial operations kill sharks just to keep their fins, which command high prices. In Asia, shark fin soup is sometimes served on celebratory occasions.
According to the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit Animal Welfare Institute, as of June of this year, eight restaurants were serving the soup in Houston, as were 17 across the state.
Animal rights advocates highlight the cruelty of cutting off sharks' limbs, then releasing them back into the ocean to die from blood loss, suffocation or starvation. For these reasons, Texas lawmakers should act to enact a ban on the sale or trade of shark fins. Restaurant patrons should think twice when they see shark fin soup on the menu. Boaters should contact Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (800-792-GAME (4263) or the Coast Guard (361-939-6393 ) if they witness suspicious or illegal fishing in Texas or federal waters.
Meanwhile, we all continue to be fascinated with sharks. Houston Museum of Natural Science's exhibit "Shark!" opens Aug. 29. You can pet sharks, climb inside a shark cage and learn about shark tagging. According to the New Jersey-based Shark Research Institute, there's a real risk that one day sharks might become extinct.
However, if we act appropriately, perhaps museums won't be the only place that sharks can be found in the future.

the elevators came very quickly. The breakfast was as good or better than most hotel breakfast. The heating/air conditioning system in room was great
July 12, 2013
The king sized beds were hard as rocks, woke up stiff and sore from them. The complimentary hot breakfast should be skipped by all. The eggs were dry and you could tell came from a powder, french toast sticks were cold and could not find syrup to use, coffee was weak (thank goodness for Starbucks close by). Our room was on the top floor and the A/C had been turned off on a 95 degree day the room was so hot when we arrived. It took the A/C overnight to completely cool the room. The hotel uses low flow shower heads which are so low flow its wasteful since it takes a lot of extra time to rinse off especially if you have any hair on your head. Not pleased at all with this hotel, definitely not worth the money they charge. ...

The hotel was fine. The only complaint I have is that there was used soap and some hair in the shower from the previous occupant. Other than that the room was fine. We only stayed one night for a wedding in Virgina.

Considered the most beautiful costume in the world, the Panamanian pollera is a colorful dress that exudes splendor, distinction, and elegance. Artisans execute every detail involved in the sewing, art, design, and style of each variety, the most well known being: white gala attire (Pollera Santeña); chintz peasant dress (Pollera Montuna); with openwork darning,embroidery, or cross-stitch (Pollera con Labores); household blouse (La Basquiña); and with colorfully striped ribbons (La Pollera Tireada).
The pollera consists of two major pieces, a blouse and a long skirt, both decorated in fine cloth.
The Azuero Peninsula, comprising the provinces of Herrera, Los Santos and part of Veraguas, is where to today artisans conserve the authenticity of the delicate and laborious process of tailoring polleras.
The pollera can be made from the following fabrics:
Linen: Tela de Hilo, El Coco, La Crea de Hilo, El Holán de Motitas
Cotton: El Percal, La Tela Confusa, El Opal, El Anjeo, La Zaraza
Every Panamanian woman dreams of wearing a pollera, which makes her feel proud of the customs and traditions that enrich this isthmus.
It's important to note that the pollera can come in any color, as with the hair adornments and shoes, all depending on its style, type, and category.
Panama proudly showcases the many customs and traditions that make up its rich culture, from diverse dances to colorful clothing.
Today we will focus on the national costume called pollera and pay homage to the seamstresses and artisans who play a fundamental role in creating such important articles that have gained world renown for their beauty and singularity.
The essence of the people in each region of the country is reflected and highlighted through the history behind their individual pollera ensemble.
The 5.6% growth in tourism activity in Panama during 2013 is considered "very satisfactory" to the Deputy Administrator of the Panama Tourism Authority, Ernesto Orillac, according to official reports.
Known as one of the beaches with the most tourism development and infrastructure in the country, excellent hotels, supermarkets, restaurants, banks, private homes and housing projects, and all sorts of commercial services have been attracted to Coronado.
Following the Pan-American Highway and after passing the well-known hill called Cerro Campana, you will be en route to this beautiful beach with large waves. The national decree passed in 2014 makes it now part of Panama's tenth province named West Panama.

After a period of cruising through what was for most their first experience of the Finnish Archipelago, the warm welcome received from the NJK in Helsinki set the tone for what has been a great weeks sailing, relaxing and exploring this beautiful region of the Baltic.
ARC Baltic fleet Parade of Sail
Situated on the small island of Blekholmen in the middle of Helsinki harbour, the NJK marina with its prestigious yacht club added to the rally atmosphere whilst moored in the centre of the town. A crew dinner organised in the yacht club gave chance for new crews to orientate themselves and gave chance for reflection as Hans Hansell, skipper of lead boat Working on a Dream reminded the fleet of their achievements and highlights of the rally so far. A bus tour of Helsinki marked the last day before leaving the following morning to cruise through the remainder of what the Finnish Archipelago had to offer.
ARC Baltic fleet in Helsinki
Departure from Helsinki and the NJK marked a significant event of the rally as the fleet left together in the first ARC Baltic parade of sail. A parade of the southern harbour exiting via its narrow entrance created a spectacle with all yachts displaying flags overall whilst in the heart of the city.
As the fleet took their time sailing and navigating through the challenging yet rewarding Finnish Archipelago, many met on the island of Kokar where there was chance to visit the medieval church and prehistoric sights where seal hunters resided, dating back to 1000 BC. Those that chose the anchorage were welcomed by live music from the small bar ashore who entertained the locals and crews late into the evening.
ARC Baltic, Helsinki
The sail through the archipelago next lead the fleet to the town of Mariehamn bosting a marina with full facilities, close proximity to town and overlooked by the impressive ex trade ship the Pommern which crews had chance to look around. The weather has continued to spoil the fleet with temperatures up to thirty degrees Celsius and favourable winds for sailing through the islands. All factors combined, the fleet rewarded themselves for their successful navigation with sundowners on the dock on yet another warm evening in the Baltic.
ARC Baltic fleet sails from Helsinki to Stockholm
Leaving Finland behind them, the fleet have now arrived in KSSS Saltsjöbaden Marina, Stockholm. Situated just a short train journey away from Stockholm City Centre, the fleet will visit the Vasa Museum and Skansen Museum before returning for a crew barbeque in the evening marking the start of a free cruising period to Kalmar on the Swedish coast.

Not like I need to prove myself to anyone or my reasoning behind being a full time gamer but being retired from a career working 70-80 hours a week having no life with my family and no form of entertainment at all, my life was my work which nearly killed me. My studies at college included culinary arts(yes I'm a chef), linguistics, study of foreign languages such as Mandarin, Spanish, and Thai just to name a couple(yes I'm multilingual). I also Traveled to south east asia to study culinary arts there as well. So Thank you very much for your concern but I think I haven't wasted my life, I think the life I had before I retired was, aside from my studies, a complete waste.
I now get to spend 24/7 with my wife and family doing something I truly love within my limitations. My retirement / disability has forced me into a position to enjoy what ever form of life I can and if its limited to what it is, what gives anyone the right to judge another person without knowing their circumstances let alone gives them the right to judge in the first place...
Just hope to god none of you ever experience having everything you worked so hard for in life ripped form you by an unexpected disability..
Simply put, my family and I are happier now then when I was able to work and are able to enjoy what ever we have left together doing something we can do together not me off at a job spending nearly most of my time away from my family, away from my friends doing something that just provided money.
So ya go ahead judge me :P

Why should we argue that a non subscribtion game really should help people NOT having a life. When the big quality is that you can be part of it without falling behind other players - and still manage to have life. I am well aware that there are plenty features in GW2 you could use a hell lot of time on. And i wish you good luck with that.
And i know people retired, with a pension that have a great life with alot hours of gaming each day , but i also know people dropping out of studies , loosing jobs and relationships, while gaming 10+ hours a day.
I see a point in arguing why GW2 had alot of going for people wanting a great hobby (this thread was a response to all the crying out of "whats the endgame - what to do at max lvl ? that we was flooded with weeeks ago"), but i don't feel like being called restricted because i see real problem for people actual being addicted to gaming and loosing out in real life while thats going on

A great deal are young and likely have other responsibilities that would keep them from playing that much (and 10-15 hours a day every day is an enormous amount of time). I did use the phrase "waste time" but its socially subjective in implication. It would heavily depend on circumstantial content anyway. I certianly don't consider time that I play with my son wasted.
You should have "judged my words" :) in the context of me having no personal context into your personal life. I made broad generalized statements because thats all I could do given the information. I said nothing that should have offended you, it simply didn't apply. I can't believe that you would advocate most people playing as much as you do.

If you have the time and you want to spend it that way then go for it. If you don't have the time then you have to insert moderation and do the things that need doing. It's called being an adult. Something some people also fail at. It's not our job to run around telling people how they should spend their time.
That being said. I get to play maybe 20 hours a week and I miss the times before kids where it was a lot more.

If only it wasn't so consolized at release, I might have gone back to it since I put it down. It just needs so many mods to correct the problems (what I classify as problems), that the thought of spending the first 20+ hours finding, downloading and installing them, puts me off.
But to the thread at hand, I have just one question: Is "offcause" an internet meme that I missed? I saw it used yesterday too and don't know why.

The rest though, on the PvE side... I could spend an absurd amount of time in game alone but would eventually get bored, just like I do in every other game out there. Fortunately it's a MMO and doing these PvE things with other people is not nearly as boring as soloing. I noticed during the BWE that it was incredibly easy to find people to do stuff with... you just look around, see someone doing something and follow them. Add guilds and real life friends to the mix and I can see PvE outlasting other MMOs, especially with healthy PvP and WvW breaks from PvE.
All in all, i think that GW2 is a great value for $60.

For the real Role playing games fans thats the biggest issue with Gw2.You see in games like wow the grinding proggression is indeed a boring proccedure. But the further progression in strength of character is the most ethistic factor in every rpg.
Wow choosed the grinding way which is dull and boring and has nothing at leats nowdays with rewarding players skills.
GW2 choosed to eliminate character progression when u hit lvl cap.
Both ways are wrong. There should be always a way to further progress your toon either from pve or pvp awardind player skills and from what most ppl agree both pve and pvp in gw2 can be challenging so there wouldnt be any grinding since its fun.

In SWTOR the motivation was the story, i.e. seeing what would happen next. With the game being very utility skills focused there wasn't a sense of growing in power when you leveled. So in my play through it pretty much led to me only doing quests I found interesting storywise. That led to problems and is a problem later when the character has nomore stories to tell.
Edit: General spelling,grammar, and punctuation.
This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!

Patriots' running back Jeff Demps is a track and field guy who plays football and Bill Belichick isn't much into that at all. Belichick has always stated he wants players that football is important to them. So when Demps spoke on Sports Talk Florida stating he wanted to do both, but track is his top priority, he sealed his fate in New England. Playing professional football part time? The notion of coming into football in November is crazy, Demps couldn't last one game last year, suffering a leg injury. He'd do everyone a favor and hang it up now, including himself before he gets seriously injured. Don't worry because he won't be on the opening day roster, or in November either, it's not how Belichick works. However, that's Demps dream, no matter how delusional it is. "If I'm not able to do football anymore, it's kind of like I'm opening up a different chapter in my life if it's on the track and field side," he said, via Sports Talk Florida. "I'd be a rookie in the (running) game, I still have a lot to learn, even though I did it four years in college and throughout high school but I still haven't seen or ran with any of the big name guys or the top guys in the world, so I'm looking forward to it; I'm definitely looking forward to it." - See more at: "'Listen coach, I want to do both but in order for me to get where I want to be on the track and field side, it will take a full year of preparation, and after the (track) season, if you guys are willing to let me come back probably midseason and work out and train and get ready for the season I'll be able to do that, but if not then I guess I'll focus on running,'" var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

*** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
I missed out on the beta but from the video series below, it looks really fun.
I'll be honest, I haven't played a sim city since the original one on SNES/PC so I'm feeling a bit intimidated but everyone who has played it says that there is no hardcore micromanagement needed to enjoy the game and a lot of the nitty gritty stuff is streamlined.
The always on DRM, assuming their servers are robust enough to cope with the network load (which I have no doubt they will be) doesn't really bother me too much.
Anyone else excited about this one?
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
I'll be getting this. Should be fun to play around with for a while.
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
I have really mixed emotions on this one. I loved 2000/4000. However, I was much younger with much more time. In addition, the DRM bull**** is a bit too far for my level of comfort. Reminds me of the Ubisoft style that had backlash two years ago. I spend too much money on video games to be treated like a ****ing criminal.
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
should be delivered today from amazon. Will be late before I get to play it so maybe if there are any server issues, they'll have started taking care of them by that point.
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
Francis is upset about Simcity.
Seriously NSFW like all of his clips.
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
Heres my impressions from yesterday night's session;
Logged in to Origin, downloaded game, download was fast. Started the game, said there was an update, started updating, kept going and going. So went to watch Person of Interest. Came back and was ready to play, was connected to the Europe server. So I checked the server list and selected USA East. Kept spinning for 5 minutes and finally connected. Clicked play, could hear the intro music but screen was blank. After 2 minutes, connection dropped and back to the launch screen. Click play again and finally in. It asks me to play the tutorial.
City loads, takes another 2 minutes to load. Once in the city, it asks me to build a road. An arrow shows where to click but theres nothing there. Invisible menu items. Hover over and then click blindly and yay road selected. Go through a few more things laying down zones. Each time menu item is invisible. Next it tells me to get water from nearby city, and to click the region map. Click. Blank screen. 3 minutes later connection dropped and back to home screen. Now tutorial option is gone. All I have is play and I can select other peoples cities or whatever. Click quit.
To be continued tonight....
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
I had a 3 and a half hour wait to play on wed night so I just played path of exile instead. Last night at first it let me in but would hang up trying to load my region and then a little later I tried again and it let me play with zero dropped connections.
From what I've heard from my coworkers, everyone else had no problems playing either and everyone I think in my office is playing on a different server so if maxis can keep it up then my hats off to them for turning this around so quickly.
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
What a giant cluster bomb of **** this release has been. They decided to go long on social experiences and starve the buyer of single player on a game KNOWN to be loved by nerds.
They took a risk. I hope it fails. I just wish there was a true Sim City 4000 successor for us nerds.
Re: *** Official Sim City (5) Discussion ***
Loads pretty quickly and works fine for me. Got a 3 city area, first city is getting quite large, second one is buying in everything from the first, so its tough to build anything including roads... Long
Trying to make it a tourist town, and then have people commute to my mining town.

Paintings and Drawings by Jesse FillinghamJuxtapoz // Friday, May 10, 2013
Pasadena-based artist Jesse Fillingham works to explore themes of "myth, introspection, creation, and wizardry." We like those themes, and his series of drawings depicting "an alternate creation myth composed of trees of strife, knowledge and life, as well as ephemeral libidinous pritis - robed men ponder and wander through graphic landscapes."
Photographs by Robin SchwartzJuxtapoz // Friday, May 10, 2013
We are really enjoying the photographs of New Jersey-based photographer Robin Schwartz this morning. Schwartz, as you probably gathered from her photos, is an animal person and her daughter has been the subject of her body of work stretching over eleven years. Schwartz is a professor of photography at William Paterson University.
Photographs by Ruben BrulatJuxtapoz // Friday, May 10, 2013
Photographer Ruben Brulat has traveled via land only, through Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Japan and Mongolia for his latest series entitled Paths. "The bodies of people become friends, performing - not without difficulties - leaving wounds, marks, and souvenirs from a time before heading towards different paths, (after sharing one for a while). The Bodies of these people become a part of the accidental and dramatic landscapes, like the trees, the rocks or the black sands of gunung bromo."
Chandelier Casts Shadow of a Forest of TreesJuxtapoz // Friday, May 10, 2013
Collaboration between the artists Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz has produced this wonderful light sculpture, Forms in Nature, that likens a ball of tree branches. The light source in the center illuminates the ball and casts a forest of trees onto the floor, walls, and ceiling! Hilden & Diaz describe the piece, "The shadows engulf the room and transforms the walls into unruly shadows of branches, bushes, and gnarled trees. Mirrorings are thrown out upon the walls and ceilings provide weak Roschach-like hints of faces, life and flow of consciousness."
Pair Re-Creates the Camera Lucida, the first in nearly a centuryJuxtapoz // Friday, May 10, 2013
The Camera Lucida is an optical device that was designed by Sir William Hyde Wollaston and used a prism to project an image onto paper for tracing. Some claim that many of the Old Masters used them but they now are only found in antique stores and on EBay. Come Pablo Garcia and Golan Levin who recently teamed up to design the NeoLucida with the belief that it will "profoundly change how people see, how they draw, and how they think about art."
What's The Time?: The Beastie Boys on The Joan Rivers Show in 1987Juxtapoz // Thursday, May 09, 2013
With the Beastie Boys issue now available in our webstore, arriving in our subscriber's mailboxes and hitting newsstands next week, we look at the hilarity and nostalgia that is a 1987 appearance on the Joan Rivers Show. From Joan calling it Licensed to KILL to Adrock doing a Pee Wee Herman impression, MCA taking over her desk, girls in leather mini skirts dancing, a DJ Hurricane turntable encore...we've already watched it several times.
Horfe, January 2012Vault // Thursday, May 09, 2013
This weekend in NYC, one of our favorite graffiti artists, Horfe, will be joining others in a group show at Klughaus Gallery. One of the reasons we have always admired the works of the Parisian artist is his mixture of classic animation and illustration to a public medium, creating a unique and prolific body of work on the streets. Here is our interview with the artist from January 2012.
Needles and Pens 10 Year Anniversary show @ Luggage Store GalleryJuxtapoz // Thursday, May 09, 2013

In celebration of this awesome accomplishment they are throwing a massive group show with over 70 participating artists, a book release, and live bands at the opening reception. Party! The opening reception goes down tomorrow, May 10, at the Luggage Store in San Francisco and we strongly suggest you come out to this very special event.
Jane Alexander "Surveys (from the Cape of Good Hope)" @ The Cathedral of St. John the Divine, NYCJuxtapoz // Thursday, May 09, 2013
Juxtapoz will be headed to NYC this week for all the festivities around Frieze and the surrounding art fairs. But one thing we will definitely be checking out is Jane Alexander, cover artist of our Contemporary African Art survey in November 2008, and her installation work with Museum for African Art that is residing at The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine on Amsterdam Avenue.
Thinkspace curates "LAX / PHL" @ Gallery 309, PhiladelphiaJuxtapoz // Thursday, May 09, 2013

Nashville, TN – As winter tightens its grip on the Volunteer State this week with hazardous sub-zero temperatures, the State Fire Marshal's Office reminds Tennesseans how crucial it is to keep fire safety in mind as weather conditions worsen.
"Brutally cold weather can drastically increase fire risks during what is already a peak season for residential fires," said Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak. "It is crucial to make fire safety a priority in and around our homes to avoid the devastation that can accompany frigid temperatures." «Read the rest of this article»
Nashville, TN – A smoke alarm installed through the Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office "Get Alarmed Tennessee" smoke-alarm distribution program is credited with saving the lives of two people in Arlington, TN in the wake of a Wednesday house fire.
Floor mats kept too close to space heater ignited in a bathroom at the home at 11810 U.S. Highway 64 in Arlington on Wednesday and caused the blaze, which was extinguished by fire crews.
But a potentially tragic situation was avoided because the two homeowners who were asleep in the home at the time of the fire were awakened by their working smoke alarm and escaped the house unharmed. «Read the rest of this article»
Nashville, TN – The State Fire Marshal's Office is urging cooks across Tennessee to practice good safety habits in the kitchen during the hectic holiday season.
Unattended cooking ranks as the leading cause of U.S. home fires and home-fire injuries and can take a devastating toll. During 2009-2013, Tennessee fire departments reported 9,847 residential structure fires involving cooking equipment. These fires resulted in 33 civilian deaths, 249 civilian injuries, and $37.6 million in direct property damage. «Read the rest of this article»

Nashville, TN – If you woke up to a fire in your home, how much time do you think you would have to get to safety?
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), one-third of American households estimate that it would take at least six minutes before a fire in their home became life-threatening. Unfortunately, the time available is often much less.
Nashville, TN – Commerce and Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Marshal Julie Mix McPeak reminds Tennesseans to change the batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors this weekend when they change their clocks Saturday night for daylight saving time. McPeak also urges everyone to consider the age of their smoke alarms.
"Alarms, even those that are hard-wired, should have their batteries replaced regularly and should be tested monthly to ensure they are providing the proper protection," McPeak says. "It is also important to note that any smoke alarm that is 10-years-old or older should be replaced entirely."
Nashville, TN – The wave of harsh winter weather rolling through the Volunteer State is leaving a trail of destruction in its wake that includes home fires, frozen pipes, and power outages. The State Fire Marshal's Office wants to remind Tennesseans how crucial it is to keep fire safety in mind during the winter months.
"The brutally cold conditions we have experienced this week can drastically increase fire risks during what is already a peak season for residential fires," said State Fire Marshal and Commerce & Insurance Commissioner Julie Mix McPeak. "It is crucial to make fire safety a priority in and around our homes to avoid the damage that can accompany frigid temperatures." «Read the rest of this article»
Nashville, TN – Knowing what to do in the event of a fire is particularly important for older adults. At age 65, people are twice as likely to be killed or injured by fires compared to the population at large.
Presently, adults aged 65 and older make up 12 percent of the total U.S. population and that number grows every year. The Tennessee State Fire Marshal's Office urges older adults across the state to take the necessary steps to stay safe and encourage and educate their families to do so as well. «Read the rest of this article»
Nashville, TN – According to the U.S. Fire Administration, an estimated 900 portable heater fires in homes are reported to U.S. fire departments each year and cause an estimated 70 deaths, 150 injuries and $53 million in property loss.
"We cannot stress enough the importance of following safety precautions when using portable heating devices in your home," said State Fire Marshal Julie Mix McPeak. "Keeping fire safety in mind can help save lives and property." «Read the rest of this article»

Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf sat down for an interview with "Good Morning America" co-anchor Chris Cuomo Sept. 23, 2009. The following transcript of their interview has been edited for clarity.
CHRIS CUOMO: Mr. Musharraf, let's start with you and your future. Have you given thought yet to returning to Pakistan, returning to power?
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Well -- I give thought to what is happening in Pakistan. And I give thought to what the people of Pakistan are desiring, and I also give thought to whether I can do anything for Pakistan. Collectively -- I have to take a decision based on all these three elements.
CHRIS CUOMO: Is a decision coming soon?
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF:I wouldn't be able to say that --
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: One has to look at this environment, and the issue of timing, of course, is -- very, very important. So if I was to say it's coming very soon, or a little later -- I think the -- I'm very conscious that the timing is extremely important -- but one thing is -- very sure, that I will return to Pakistan.
CHRIS CUOMO: Are you concerned that if you return, you may be arrested. You may be put on trial for treason.
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Well, these are realities which one has to face. But however, I am very sure of one thing, that whatever I have done till now, constitutionally and legally, there is no charge against me. So if at all, anything happens against me, it will be not according to the constitution and not according -- to legal (UNINTEL).
CHRIS CUOMO: With time and the benefit of looking back on your time as president, do you regret having removed the supreme court judge and the other jurists?
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: I would -- I would say that -- I put it like this, that it was a correct action. I do not regret that it was a wrong action. It was very constitutional, whatever I did, and very legal. But however, the fallout then was bad. (UNINTEL) fallout, which led to upheaval that we've seen, and therefore, one would like to rethink if, with hindsight now, whether it was wise to do even a legally and constitutionally correct act.
CHRIS CUOMO: Would you have done it again?
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Well, that's a difficult question, yes. With hindsight, one would say -- were not to show pragmatism even on right things. But I am a strong believer of doing -- of doing the right, (UNINTEL) the constitution and the law to now, when you are asking me with hindsight, yes, one of -- it's more easier to say that maybe you're gonna -- one needs to show pragmatism. But if I'm confronted with another situation where I would, again, see the legality and constitutionality and right and wrong, and then -- take -- action in favor of right.
CHRIS CUOMO: In the decision to return to Pakistan, there is legal risk, political risk. But do you consider physical risk, given what's happened to leaders in the history of Pakistan, most recently Benazir Bhutto.
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: That risk is there. And -- one has to accept that risk, and there's a saying, "No risk, no gain." One has to risk something to gain something.
CHRIS CUOMO: Mr. Sharif is seen as a political opponent, another potential leader in Pakistan. You criticize him. You believe that there is something that Americans should know about Nawaz Sharif.
PERVEZ MUSHARRAF: Yes, they should know a lot about Nawaz Sharif. First of all, I think he's -- I call him a closet Taliban.
CHRIS CUOMO: Strong charge.

A Shulamite is a person from Shulem. It is the ascription given to the female protagonist in the Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible. In the King James Version and other Bibles, it is the Song of Solomon or Canticle of Canticles.
Many scholars connect the demonym with Shunamite ("woman from Shunem") and believe the terms are interchangeable. It is a name of a maiden or a title. It has been suggested that Abishag could be the Shulamite bride from Song of Solomon since she was a Shunamite taken to minister to David in his old age according to the Bible scriptures (1 Kings 1:1-4,15,2:17-22). The wealthy woman who provided a room for Elisha was another Shunamite woman of the Bible, according to 2 Kings 4:8. The meaning of the root word is "perfect one, peaceable one, or pacified".[1][2]
