Looking for inspiration
Hmm.. About me.. I guess have a slightly off color sense of humor and am not easily offended..I have no problem speaking my mind and I find that scares some people off, but so be it. I've never been married and dont have any children yet but would like to in the near future.. no that doesn't mean I'm looking to jump into anything, just sayin' if you don't have that kind of thing in your realitively near future plans.. (I probably just scared off about half of the people reading this far..) If you're still with me... Things I enjoy: seafood, steak, pasta, gardening/flowers, cooking (and canning), coffee, tv and... SLEEP! Really I'd probably try just about anything, I'm not athletic and I'd probably be laughed at by anyone watching me throw/dribble/or ski...I've never been laughed at golfing but i've never tried it either.. I HAVE rolled down ski slopes and gone white water swimming..I mean rafting.. I'm a big fan of wine and miller lite, auctions, flea markets, day trips, festivals, traveling and acoustic music,- etc.. I like just about all music except rap and that screaming alternative rock.. those 2 just give me a headache. I would LOVE to travel but i'm a bit skittish about going solo to foriegn countries..if you are well traveled I'd love to hear about it. I should also mention if you are a big fan of narcotics and other recreational pharmaceuticals or need to be heavily medicated to maintain a normal mental state..I'm not interested... What am I looking for? I'm not sure exactly,a friend with a possibility of something more, i guess.. Physical attraction is important that's a given, but chemistry is just as important. Blue eyes are a real turn on..but not a must. I want someone who understands that it doesn't hurt to get to know someone before you try banging their head off the headboard, so to speak (if you've spent anytime in a bar- you probably know what I mean).. I'm a romantic, and fairly traditional, family oriented, so someone with the same traits would be nice. I used to be outgoing (now I'm more of a homebody..) I have a small group of friends and enjoy hanging out with them chatting over coffee, karaoke, dinner, campfires etc... I want to find someone who has their own interests/hobbies and enjoys weekend getaway now and then. I like being around people who inspire and motivate me.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Hobbies and crafts , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Other types of exercise
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Dogs
Middle of the Road
I usually stay pretty local, but I would love to travel. I want to travel to Italy, France, Greece and more eventually. I would love to have a travel companion who has the urge to just take a week to explore a beautiful foreign country now and then
Farovite things? Color BLUE. Ocean blue like the color you see in pictures of tropical places. Food PASTA. Buttered noodles and Mac-n-cheese, If your cooking skills are limited I'm easy to impress.Seafood and steaks on the grill are yummy too.
For fun at the moment I either go to a quiet bar with friends and karaoke or have casual conversation over lunch and coffee or curl up at home with a good movie or respond to calls with the local fire department.
I read Language books "for dummies", School books, and historical romance novels..I know it sounds cheesy but hey you can never have too much romance in your life. Right?

And, in the case of MMOs, when nearly all games will eventually die due to old age/technology marching onwards, it's important to plan for the 'endgame.' That doesn't mean it's what they're aiming for -- it means that they've got a contingency 'just in case' they can't cut it as a P2P game.
Again, F2P is where MMOs go to die. It's like the retirement home in Boca Raton, FL. Yeah, you might go visit granny and granpa there every year or two... but make no mistake why they're there: it's to die.

You also haven't given evidence of anything. You presented your opinion.
No F2p is not where MMO's go to die, and several with stable populations and making a profit have gone f2p.

You don't follow much the MMO industry.
EQ2 had 200K at its peak 4 years ago, since then its population declined drammatically, same for LOTRO, DDO ( which was technically dead), AoC and so on.
Every "Western" MMO that went F2P had less than 100K players when they switched to RMT transaction.
But you do not need to trust me saying that only "dead" MMO goes F2P in the western market (I am not talking about the Asians which are built on F2P model and they are successful indeed)
Look at Funcom.
AoC is F2P, so they have the technology, yet TSW is subscription based (for now, though I predict it will go F2P in 6 months time...................because it will lose subs)
If Funcom thought the F2P model was the winning formula they would have launched TSW as a F2P, but they didn't, because the Subscription model is still the more profitable if you can have a steady player base at least between 300K and 500K subs.
Problem with Western MMOs is that the majority of them, don't have more than 200K subs after few months from their release because they are so shallow that player simply refuses to pay a monthly fee for a WoW clone or even worse for an Online Game (Single Player game with MMO features)
F2P games could be very profitable, if they were built on the Pay To Win model like all the Asian MMOs.
But Western MMOs goes F2P because they aren't good enough and they fail to have a decent subscription base.
This is sad but it's the truth.

It's clear that the sub model isn't going to work for most games here in 2012. WoW is losing subscribers and it's an old game. It'sPanda expansion isn't as much game for the buck as GW2 and both are hi fantasy mmo launching at about same time. In a year or twos time WoW will be free-to-play model too, and Titan Blizz's next mmo will use free-to-play model. That's the way it is with games folks the paid sub is a thing of the past now.

Yeah, and marketing technqiue usually works great when it is backed up by reality. Like in this case, as shown again and again, most F2P players never pay a dime.
Of course the masses come running. Heck, i come running too. Fun for Free. And i have been doing that for 2-3 years now.
In fact, after my WOW annual pass is up, i probably will never play a sub MMO again.

i really detest the non P2P model. The quality of the game and the the quality of the players one encounters is signifigantly different. Quite simply P2P games have a more mature and better skilled playerbase by a very large margin. Older veteran MMO players understand that the traditional sub model is the place to be to play with the type of people they have been playing with the last 15 years. Unfortunately each new game promising grenner pastures takes a chunk of players from our sub games. We get some back after people realize the new game of the months was not as good as the hype but they do damage to guilds and the playerbase of sub games.While I think the sub model is the only alternative for veteran players it is having a tough time with people lacking patience and jumping back and forth between their sub game and the new flavor of the month game.

Apparently I follow the industry more than you do. EQ2 has had a stable population of about 120-160k population for 3-4 years, same with CoH, Lotro had about 250k. I never mentioned anything about AoC and DDO because they were effectively dead.
No, the three that I mentioned had were doing quite well, stable and generating a profit.
I don't, I've played them too much, and seen too much data saying otherwise.
Pretty confident that TSW has between 300 and 700k subscriptions right now. Whether that is enough for them to generate more profit than with f2p depends entirely on their marketing strategy and the amount they spent on the game. TSW may very well go F2P within 6 months, and it will be because it crossed that line, wherever that line is. But that doesn't mean the game is dead or failing.
That line where f2p is more profitable than p2p is not a solid line for all games, it greatly depends on marketing and how much it costs to maintain the game.
Your truth is nothing but hyperbole.
edit - I don't think the player model has anything to do with maturity of the gamer either. Percentage wise I'm confident that both p2p and f2p have approximately the same number of jerks and good people. Look at WoW.

I'm not really sure. My brother is enjoying the crap out of LoL, which is a f2p game where skill matters. I'm currently playing Path of Exile (yeah I paid to be in the closed beta, but it is a f2p game) and having a blast so far.
Steam is releasing f2p games to their shop client.
Just because some noob programmers can make a f2p game, doesn't mean that some of them wont shine. Media is here for a reason. Even though I'm starting to doubt the media and making my own site for reliable reviews, there are also personal user reviews in some sites.
The kids growing up today are playing f2p games on android (because their hands can not yet fathom the PC beast, trust me, I know). Every new generation has lots of time on their hands while seeking job or being a school outcast. Older people have family and responsibility, and they have a job, and guess where most of the money gets put at? Food, ele, house building, rent, kids, etc..
The MMO industry is most likely most played around with by kids, jobless people and people taking cash out of social help banks (in Sweden we don't like that you be on the street because you may have some personal issues).

Really? WoW would like to have a word with you. Sure there's still 9.1 million subs, so you're going to have a lot more variance, but the pay model is not going to determine anything about individual skill or maturity. Asshats are asshats no matter what game they play. Skill within a game is more about familiarity of certain gaming mechanics and reacting to situations, skill varies greatly among all people regardles if they are paying or not. I have been playing mmos since Nov of 1999 with AC1, and played MUDs for about two years before that, so I am not a noob to the scene.
The only part I will concede is that with F2P or B2P gaming you're going to have more younger people (High School and College Kids) since they are typically more strapped for cash. Their age isn't going to determine their skill or maturity outright, but young people to tend to act....well young at times.
As a mmo veteran, I am looking forward to what the future will bring. If GW2 is as successful as many are predicting (and from playing in all three beta weekends, I believe the game will do very well), we could see the B2P business model become more of a norm over the next 5 years or so. Gaming Companies and their Investors are looking for a maximum amount of return on the investment, and subs have a pretty poor track record over the past 7 years or so. Look at how many mmos went F2P, it was either that or closing the project all together I am sure. Considering the uptick in revenue many of these failing mmos have seen when going F2P, investors will take notice. If B2P proves to be profitable, you'll see more of the same.
Personally, I'd rather drop $40-60 on a game once and then play it as I see fit, whether it be no-lifing the game or playing casually. If the game is good enough, they'll wind up making some money off me.

MMOs ARE evolving.
They are being made for consoles as well as PCs and now the phone app market has opened up with tie ins. The MMO world was already filled with F2P games making hand over fist like Atlantica Online, Runes of Magic and with Nexon being one of the largest gaming companies on the planet right now making almost half of their over 1 billion a year in profits coming from F2P games...
And now companies outside of Asia and Europe are seeing that the F2P market is bigger than the sub market and can be far more profitable. Only WoW has managed to top the biggest F2P games with its playerbase...once you remove WoW, no sub game has come close to the playerbases of the big F2P games and that was BEFORE consoles and apps came into the picture.
Now, you have the biggest game developers talking about NOTHING but how to open up the MMO genre to player generated content and microtransactions while making them mobile and more interactive when not even logged into the games.
Face it, you are a dinosaur and your outdated way of playing is ending.

I like how this post is just a big shot taken at TOR and how it has "failed" even though its still the second largest subbed MMO in the western market. lol fail..... sure.
All that SWTOR's switch to F2P proves is that this is definitely the future for mmos. Devs from numerous companies and many of the top voices in the industry have shared the same sentiment. SWTOR is a quality game, but WOW came out at the right time and cornered the sub market. The sub business model had to evolve for other games to compete and it has.
F2P IS the future and there really is no point in disputing that.... just too much evidence to back it up. It is a good thing too, this model forces devs to make good content worth paying for. Thats better than paying 15 bucks a month just to play a game cause lets face it most MMOs dont give us content each month for that 15 dollars.
(ps I personally guarantee RIFT, TSW, and TERA will all introduce a F2P option within the next 6 months. I also think WOW will open up a F2P option within the next year and TESO will be one of the first MMOs to launch B2P with a sub and no sub option.)
You may continue hating on games.

Personally, i am waiting for TSW to go F2P. I certainly will not play any new sub games again with so many F2P options. However, TSW interests me because of a very different setting.
I have also no doubt it is going F2P .. and i can wait. With D3 now, Borderland 2 and MOP coming (MOP will prob be the last sub game i played .. since i have the annual pass) .. and other SP games, i have lots of do before trying out TSW.

A new Ebola treatment hospital with ten beds, and with the possible expansion to 50 beds, has already been set and equipped with medical staffs, Dr. Keseteberhan Admassu, Minister of Health told reporters on Thursday.
The facility is designed to treat Ebola - for which there are no observed cases in Ethiopia to date - in isolation.
He noted that for contingency purposes, some 20 doctors and nurses are on standby and some are stationed at the airports to examine suspicious cases of Ebola. However, the minister said that Ebola is not at a state of emergency for Ethiopia currently and banning flights to and from West Africa is unnecessary. The minister also denied reports of two suspicious Ebola cases (one Chinese and the other Nigerian) as they were verified to be malaria patients.
So far, the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) has killed more than 1,000 in West Africa and the spiraling spread of the virus alerted the African Union Commission (AUC) into approving the use of what is dubbed "investigational medical interventions" by the World Health Organization (WHO) in affected countries.
During a press conference held on Wednesday at the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa, representatives of the AU and WHO told reporters that drugs and experimental vaccines so far have not yet been fully evaluated for safety and efficacy on human beings. However, the large number of people affected by the outbreak in West Africa and the high case fatality rate, promoted to use investigational medical interventions to save lives and curb the epidemic, they said. It was confirmed that ZMAPP - the experimental drug still being tested by institutes in the US - is heading to those affected in West Africa.
Mustapha Kaloko, AU commissioner for social affairs together with Pierre M'pele Kilebou, WHO representative, said that the experimental vaccines and treatments and other remedial measures are well under progress following a consultation held on Monday by WHO over the ethical implications of the use of unregistered interventions.
The commissioner argued that one of the fertile grounds for the spread of Ebola, first from Guinea to Serra Leone, Liberia and then to Nigeria, is the loose cross border movements across these countries. On the other side, it has become high time for AU member states to realize economic integrations via opening up borders for cross-boarder trade and investments. But unchecked cross-border relations have caused Ebola to spread quickly, Mustapha argued.
He mentioned that countries like Botswana have started to contribute financially and in personnel. The intergovernmental health organization WHO has stated that some 200 staffs have been deployed to countries at risk. Some of the weak points the two officials mentioned were weakened and poor medical institutions in West Africa, which made ways for Ebola to become a concern even for the international community. It is to be remembered that WHO declared last week that Ebola has reached a state of Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Both AU and WHO officials warned that the kill rate of Ebola is feared to reach 100 percent if efforts are not seriously delivered.
The commission admitted that interventions were weak since the outbreak was expected to be small and easy to control; yet Ebola spiraled. However, AU has contributed USD one million and WHO has availed USD 100 million additional funding for additional personnel and facility supplies. AU's medical services directorate has advised individuals to limit travels and direct contact with suspected patients and dead bodies. Since Friday, the deaths toll has reached 1,069 and 1,800 cases have been confirmed for the Ebola virus so far.
Making matters worse, recent reports of the WHO stated that neighboring Kenya is at high risk for Ebola following its dominance in flight routes from West Africa. Kenya handles some 700 in and out flights to and from West Africa. Other reports suggested that affected countries would soon be challenged by economic pressures. On Friday, the International Youth Olympic Committee banned athletes from the Ebola-hit countries from taking part in sporting events taking place in China from August 15 to 18, 2014.
Despite the EVD outbreak and unprecedented number of deaths, the AU is set to hold the upcoming Ouagadougou Extraordinary Summit scheduled to be hosted by Burkina Faso from August 26 to September 7. It has also been in the AU's plan that a pledge conference for Ebola will be held during the summit.
In related news, Ethiopian Airlines is pursuing the usual flights into West Africa, yet it has stated that it has no direct flights to most affected nations, so far. Ethiopian officials told The Reporter that the virus has no chance of infecting passengers on-board Ethiopian flights. However, according to the health minister, currently Ethiopian transports some 500 passengers from four Nigerian cities per day. "The virus has an incubation period of 21 days during which time the person could shows no signs of illness and cannot transmit the disease," the statement reads. Despite low risks, Ethiopian is said to be training front line staff on Ebola and is screening passengers from West Africa thoroughly at the moment. Ethiopian affiliate, Asky airline, said that it has suspended flights to and from Sierra Leone and Liberia due to an increasing concern with the spread of the deadly Ebola virus in the region.
The Togo-based airline also said it would no longer take on food in Guinea, where the outbreak was first detected in March, and that medical teams would be deployed to screen passengers in transit through its Lome hub.
The pan African airline operates 22 destinations in west and central Africa. It feeds passengers to Ethiopian Airlines.

Carlos Beltran: The Cardinals' Dr. Jekyll, the Mets' Mr. Hyde
Blame Beltran for the Strikeout, but the Problem Wasn't His Play in October—It Was the Mets' Lack of Octobers
One of the three best postseason hitters of all time spent the prime of his career in New York. And yet somehow, what supposedly defined his six and a half years in town was a single moment of postseason failure.
There was always a degree of unfairness in the way some Mets fans judged Carlos Beltran for his infamous strikeout to end the 2006 National League Championship Series. But the past two weeks have shown just how absurd it was.
Freed from the misery of Flushing, Beltran has reestablished himself as one of history's great playoff performers. He almost singlehandedly won Game 1 of the NLCS for the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday, driving in all three of their runs, including the walk-off single in the bottom of the 13th inning. He also made a perfect throw from right field to home plate that saved a run.
This was the Beltran the Mets saw in 2004 when he was with the Houston Astros—the version they got only a fleeting glimpse of when he played for them. And yes, the Adam Wainwright curveball that froze him on Oct. 19, 2006, had something to do with that.
But watching Beltran with the Cardinals now, one thing becomes pretty clear: The problem wasn't what Beltran lacked in October. The problem was a lack of Octobers. Had the Mets surrounded him with more talent—or at least, less injury-prone talent—chances are they would have seen what the Cardinals are seeing now.
One of the best ways to measure offensive production is on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS). It represents the sum of a player's ability to get on base and his ability to hit for power. Beltran's postseason OPS is 1.188. Among players with at least 100 playoff plate appearances, only two have been better: Babe Ruth (1.211) and Lou Gehrig (1.208). Not Reggie Jackson, not Derek Jeter. No one else.
And that's only one part of Beltran's value. It's hard to assess the fielding ability of players from the 1920s and 1930s, but it is highly likely that Beltran, a three-time Gold Glove outfielder, has been of greater defensive value than Ruth or Gehrig. On that basis, you could plausibly argue that he is the greatest postseason position player of all time.
In the batter's box this month, Beltran has been a marvel to watch. Some hitters fidget. Some twitch. Beltran inhabits the batter's box as if a Mozart concerto is playing in his head—still, calm, like the game moves slower for him than it does for others.
When the Mets traded him to the San Francisco Giants in July 2011, Beltran left as a supposed symbol of a failed era in Queens. But how much of that failure was his fault? The Mets failed him far more than he ever failed them, whether it was issues with the rest of the roster, picking a fight with him over his decision to have knee surgery or grumbling about him missing a team hospital visit.
Yes, he failed in a huge spot in 2006, blowing a chance to send the Mets to the World Series. But that Wainwright curveball was pretty close to unhittable. And if the Mets had returned to the playoffs in the years that followed, would anyone still be talking about it?
If anything, Beltran is a symbol of a time when people in New York cared enough about the Mets to be angry about them. He's a symbol of a time when things were good enough that you could nitpick about something like his lack of outward emotion. Nobody grumbles about the Mets' outfielders these days, mainly because very few people could even name them.
To be sure, some Mets fans liked Beltran and appreciated his immense talent. And those who didn't might be coming around.
"I think fans who were conflicted or unsure of Beltran's legacy with the Mets have predominantly begun to recognize his place in team history since his departure," said Eric Simon, who runs the excellent Mets blog Amazin' Avenue. "The simple fact is that Carlos Beltran is among the handful of best position players the Mets have ever had."
Simon recently launched the website BringBackBeltran.com ahead of Beltran's upcoming free agency. It makes sense, given the Mets' outfield needs. And who knows? Maybe it's possible.
Asked about it during the All-Star break, Beltran said he didn't think it would happen, but added, "Honestly, I would consider anything."
In all likelihood, Beltran's legacy is already sealed. Wherever he ends up next, he will go down as one of the most underappreciated athletes ever to represent New York.

The Klus 00235 LED proximity motion sensor switch features hands-free control for your tape light fixtures. Just turn on the power load, and wait three seconds for easy light control. The LED motion sensor operates on either 12- or 24-volt systems to match whichever type of tape light you choose. While this proximity switch is perfect for applications that require high hygiene standards, such as laboratories and hospitals, it can also be used in a bathroom, where turning the light on with wet hands is usually avoided. Do not install this motion sensor above a stove top or near curtains, where air drafts can trigger the sensor. The Klus 00265 proximity switch includes a 5-foot cable to attach the switch to an incoming power source. This switch is typically mounted at the end of a run and can be used with all KLUS linear housings.
The Klus 00235 requires in-field soldering to the power supply and the LED tape light load.

Highways & Byways: A weekly photographic report
As the cast members began filling the stage for the beginning of "Copacabana," the Warrick County Summer Musical at Castle High School, 32 young stagehands were backstage pulling open the curtains, handing off props and preparing to shuffle set pieces.
Between scenes, they could hardly be seen as they scurried across the stage, dressed in black. It was easy not to give a second thought to the shadows going about their business. But the kids who chose to stay out of the limelight made it possible for audience members to relax during a two-hour journey to another world.
About 120 area students participated in "Copacabana," but only 88 were in the cast.
As the actors learned their lines and the musicians mastered notes, the set crew was busy measuring, cutting wood and hammering nails to piece together the sets.
"We spent most of the last seven weeks building," said Rachel Garrett, 18, one of the stage managers. Garrett is no stranger to the ins and outs of behind-the-scenes work: This was her third summer musical production.
"We were even building tonight," she said as she and fellow stagehands built the final curtain to rope off a backstage hallway Wednesday night before the final run-through.
"Now that we aren't building, we are sweeping," stagehand Cathleen Brumback, 15, said with a laugh. "Our real title should be 'The Sweep Squad.' We are constantly sweeping up tiny little sequins that seem to multiply every night and tons of feathers from the showgirls' dresses."
"I don't think I ever want to see another sequin again," said first-year stagehand Leigh Grimes, 15, with a laugh.
Garrett and the other crew members love theater as much as the performers.
"They (the actors) love to perform and be on stage and we love being the hands behind the curtains," Garrett said.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 10/29/12
Joel Sherman of the New York Post, spoke with several major league executives who said they believed that the Mets and Phillies will be very interested in outfielder Melky Cabrera, who will be a free agent this offseason. There's also a good chance that the Giants will try to re-sign Cabrera, especially if they are unable to work out a deal to keep center fielder Angel Pagan who is also set to be a free agent. One executive thought Cabrera could get two years in the $10 million to $12 million range, but the others mostly believed Cabrera would most likely get a one year "prove it" deal. Such a deal could range anywhere between $2 million to $5 million dollars and could be very attractive to the bargain-hunting Mets. Cabrera signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Giants before the 2012 season. The 28-year-old outfielder was in the midst of a spectacular season – leading the NL in batting and posting a .346/.390/.516 slash line with 11 homers and 60 RBI in 113 games this seas...

You can tell that we're getting close to election time by all the political signs and television ads. Personally I've never liked political signs but I suppose that they are a necessary evil. Did you ever see one that's been on a tree for so long that you've forgotten who the guy is?
Another thing I don't care for are TV attack ads. It's like saying, "I don't have anything good to tell you about myself so I'll tell you about my opponent's shortcomings. Real or imagined." Come on guys! What are YOU gonna do?
The fact of the matter is we have to look at our candidates for office with whatever media is available and make the best decision we can. If possible, talk to the candidate. Look at his or her track record. if he or she had a political record. There are a lot of political newcomers in the upcoming election. In this case you have to look at what makes them uniquely qualified to represent you. Ask yourself, "Is this the person who speaks for me?"
And remember, you don't get the government you pay for, you get the government you elect.

Software to pick basketball champs
Can an algorithm predict winners more accurately than a person? With the US National Collegiate Athletic Association's basketball tournament starting this week, contestants in the second annual March Madness Predictive Analytics Challenge aim to find out. The contest, organised by PhD student Danny Tarlow of the University of Toronto, Canada, invites people to build algorithms to predict the outcome of the 64-team tournament. Some entrants analyse results from preceding seasons and find equations that match game outcomes. They then use these equations to predict results. A simpler method boils down a team's strengths and weaknesses to a single number, then picks the team with the higher number in each match-up. The competition ends on 4 April.

IT'S a triumph for malaria treatment, but bad news for farmers. A synthetic version of the world's most effective antimalarial drug, artemisinin, can now be made in just three weeks rather than 18 months. The advance could help to stem the rise of drug-resistant malaria.
Amyris, a California-based biotech company, has developed a way to get yeast to pump out artemisinic acid, the precursor to artemisinin, rather than extracting it from the sweet wormwood plant (Nature, doi.org/k72). Drug firm Sanofi then turns the acid into a drug.
Despite artemisinin's success, the malaria parasite is developing resistance to it. One way to delay resistance is by offering artemisinins combined with other drugs. However, the World Health Organization says 25 countries still allow artemisinin to be sold on its own, with 28 companies manufacturing it.
Jay Keasling, co-founder of Amyris says he hopes that the synthetic approach will lower prices, nudging out competitors selling monotherapy artemisinin. Farmers who sell sweet wormwood to manufacturers will be encouraged to switch to food crops, he says.

Risotto Milanese
Serves: 4
- 1/4 cup fruity olive oil Add to list
- 1 large shallot, minced Add to list
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice Add to list
- 1/2 cup good dry white wine Add to list
- 5 to 6 cups flavorful chicken, mushroom or vegetable broth Add to list
- 1 cup finely minced wild or domestic mushrooms Add to list
- 3 tablespoons fesh basil, finely chopped Add to list
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves Add to list
- 1 cup freshly grated aged Parmesan cheese Add to list
For the garnish:
- Whole basil leaves and additional Parmesan Add to list
These ingredients are:
Corn-free Egg-free Gluten-free Peanut-free Soy-free Tree nut-free Wheat-free
In a heavy pot, heat the olive oil and cook the shallots until translucent. From this point on the pan will need constant watching.
Over medium high heat, add the grains and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir until absorbed into the grains. Pour in 1 cup of the chicken broth, add the mushrooms and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Add an additional cup of the stock and stir, once again, until fully absorbed. Proceed in this fashion with all the remaining broth except 1/2 cup, until the grains are cooked al denté.
As the final step, stir in the basil, thyme and 1/2 cup of the stock. This should make the grains a little bit juicy. Immediately stir in the Parmesan. The cheese will melt into the stock and form a creamy sauce around the grains. Serve immediately, garnished with sprigs of basil and Parmesan cheese.

I have been dating "Larry" for a little over a year. During this time he has been in and out of work. Anytime we go anywhere or do anything, he never offers to pay. Even if he has money in his pocket, he'll look the other way when a check arrives. Other times, he insists on "Dutch treat."
Larry says we were raised differently. I say he's cheap. When the holidays come around, I never receive a gift or a card.
I am a hardworking woman who is currently holding down two full-time jobs. I don't see why Larry feels he is entitled.
Am I out of line for thinking a man should "treat" a woman? I just don't think Larry is morally correct. — PAYING DEARLY IN NAPLES, FLA.
DEAR PAYING DEARLY: I agree that you and Larry were raised differently. I also agree that he's cheap. However, the idea that a man should ALWAYS treat a woman is outdated.
You signed yourself "Paying Dearly." The question is, are you getting what you're paying for — and is it enough for you? If the answer is no, then scratch Larry.
DEAR ABBY: My wife and I were sorting through some old things of mine and came across a wallet containing some pictures of my old high school girlfriend. Normally, I wouldn't think twice about tossing them, but in this case, she was someone I had stayed very close with (platonically) until her untimely death several years ago.
What is the protocol for throwing away things like this, when it's someone you were close to who is now deceased? I'm sure her parents wouldn't want them.
It feels disrespectful to toss them in the trash, but at the same time I don't really feel I need to keep them. My wife doesn't care either way if I keep them or not. — TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP
DEAR TO KEEP OR NOT TO KEEP: Offer the pictures to your former girlfriend's family because they might surprise you and consider them treasures. However, if they're not interested and you can't bring yourself to put them in the trash, put them in the box in which you found them and let your family deal with them after you're gone.
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 10 years, together for 15. When we met, he was in a band and we did a lot of socializing, drinking, partying, etc.
Over the years and two children later, I enjoy these activities less as the demands of parenting and full-time careers take top priority. My husband frequently makes the comment, "You USED to be fun." I find it incredibly hurtful and have told him so, but he continues to repeat it. Sometimes I'm tempted to lash out and say, "Then go find yourself someone who is!" Is there any other way I can address this? — "PARTY-POOPER" IN NEW YORK
DEAR "PARTY-POOPER": Yes. The next time your husband says, "You used to be fun," rather than become defensive, ask him to explain what he means. What EXACTLY does he miss? The freedom? Not having the responsibilities of a full-time career and two children? The drinking?
If he misses the carefree woman you used to be, find a sitter and schedule some regular adult time together. If it's something more than that, you may need a marriage counselor.
DEAR ABBY: My sister sent me an email asking what I was getting our mom for her birthday because she had very few ideas. I told her I was planning to get Mom a gift card so she could buy a book for her e-reader.
Two days later, my sister emailed me back telling me she liked my idea so much she used it and mailed Mom the same gift card herself. She said it's "no big deal" if we got Mom the same thing.
It's a big deal to me. I think it was rude and inconsiderate. She says I'm being "ridiculous" because "it's only a gift card" and it doesn't matter if Mom got two of them. To me, if you ask what I'm getting someone as a gift, it's rude to run out and buy that item yourself. Who do you agree with? — LEARNED A LESSON IN LEWISBURG, PA.
DEAR LEARNED A LESSON: I agree with you. But rather than hold a grudge, take the lesson to heart. The next time your sister asks you for gift suggestions for a relative, tell her, "Gee, I haven't decided yet."

"Misfits" (2009) – Best show on TV right now
"Where DID this show come from? Though it's not the most original concept (freak lightning storm strikes and gives a ragtag bunch of community service workers special powers) this show rises above Heroes and the many clones by bringing enough freshness to the table. Now I'm judging this show having just watched the first two episodes. At first it looks like your average Skins type rip-off but it very quickly establishes an intriguing plot with lovable characters and unexpected twists aplenty. The script is sharp like a razor and offers laugh-out-loud moments and witticisms to rival the best episodes of Friends or Fraiser. All the misfits are perfectly cast and brilliantly acted with just the right amount of cynicism and pathos and the situations don't seem forced like Heroes often does but emerge logically and organically from the characters. Even the powers themselves extend from the character's personas. Fantastic show. I cannot recommend it enough! "

For Cold Virus, Zinc May Edge Out Even Chicken Soup
"Scientists still haven't discovered a cure for the common cold, but researchers now say zinc may be the next best thing.
A sweeping new review of the medical research on zinc shows that sniffing, sneezing, coughing and stuffy-headed cold sufferers finally have a better option than just tissue and chicken soup. When taken within 24 hours of the first runny nose or sore throat, zinc lozenges, tablets or syrups can cut colds short by an average of a day or more and sharply reduce the severity of symptoms, according to the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, a respected medical clearinghouse."

Watson hammers humans in second round of Jeopardy!
"Humanity just took one hell of a beating. The Homo sapiens contestants managed to answer just five questions between them during the second night of the man-versus-machine Jeopardy! challenge. Unless former champs Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter can make up a $30,000 deficit, IBM's Watson supercomputer will be crowned the interspecies champion.
Watson played almost flawlessly. It bet big when given the chance, wagering $6435 on a question about the British city of Cambridge. The strangely precise amount drew laughs from the audience, but of course Watson does not mind being the subject of ridicule. It correctly answered a question about the architect of two of the town's colleges – Christopher Wren – and surged ahead of Jennings and Rutter.

Avocado redă elasticitatea pielii
"Avocado este una dintre cele mai bune surse de grăsimi sănătoase atât pentru buna funcţionare a organismului, cât şi pentru strălucirea pielii, spun specialiştii în dermatologie. Potrivit acestora, nivelul ridicat de grăsimi mononesaturate din acest fruct protejează celulele pielii şi previne formarea ridurilor. "Asemenea acizilor graşi, grăsimile mononesaturate sunt încorporate în pereţii celulelor, făcându-le mai puternice", spune dr. Joshua Zeichner, medic dermatolog. Specialistul precizează că persoanele care au o dietă bogată în grăsimi "bune" au mai puţine riduri, pielea este mult mai elastică şi hidratată."
Fructele de pădure scad riscul de Parkinson
"Fructele bogate în antocianină (un antioxidant care se găseşte în mere, citrice şi fructe sălbatice) previn Parkinsonul, arată un studiu al Şcolii de Sănătate Publică din Boston (Statele Unite). Studiul, care a inclus peste 129.000 de subiecţi, s-a desfăşurat pe o perioadă de 20 de ani şi a arătat că bărbaţii şi femeile care au consumat fructe de pădure au şanse cu 25% mai mari să scape de Parkinson.
În cadrul studiului, a fost testat şi efectul unor băuturi bogate în antocianină (cum ar fi ceaiul, vinul roşu şi sucul de portocale). Rezultatul: bărbaţii care le-au consumat au fost cu 35% mai puţin expuşi bolii decât cei care nu le-au băut. În schimb, la femei nu s-au observat diferenţe notabile. Dr. Xiang Gao de la Şcoala din Boston recunoaşte că nu ştie de ce apar diferenţe pe sexe în cazul băuturilor şi susţine că e nevoie de alte studii.
Cum ne scapă antocianina de Parkinson?
Dr. Cristobal Miranda de la Universitatea Oregon, care nu a participat la studiu, a declarat pentru MSNBC că Parkinsonul este cauzat, în principal, de inflamarea creierului şi de stresul oxidativ (afecţiune cauzată de sedentarism, de stres şi de lipsa fructelor şi a legumelor din alimentaţie). "Antocianina are efecte anti-inflamatorii si antioxidante. Prezenţa ei în organism împiedică distrugerea ADN-ului şi privarea celulelor de oxigen", conchide Miranda. (Mihai Schiau)"

Watson on Jeopardy, Part 2
"Interestingly, where Watson failed was sometimes more instructive than when it succeeded.
Clue: It was this anatomical oddity of US gymnast George Eyser….
Ken Jennings' answer: Missing a hand (wrong)
Watson's answer: leg (wrong)
Correct answer: Missing a leg
What Watson failed to realize was that the word "leg," by itself, wasn't actually an answer to the question. This is common sense for people, because "leg" is an anatomical part, not an anatomical oddity, though Watson did realize that legs were involved somehow. What happened here might have been something more profound than a simple bug. David Ferrucci, Watson's project leader, attributed the failure to the difficulty of the word "oddity" in the question. To understand what might be odd, you have to compare it to what isn't odd—that is to say, what's common sense. A problem with Watson's approach is that if some sentence appears in its database, it can't tell whether someone put it there just because it's true, or because someone felt it was so unusual that it needed to be said.
A computer that lacks common sense, unfortunately, isn't an oddity. Maybe it should be."

CEO of HTC, Peter Chou, got a little excited at the company's end of the year party in Taipei today . The video below is not of the best quality, but it starts off with Chou yelling out, HTC! The crowd responds with HTC! Chou then yells out, M7! In which the crowd does the same. This goes on for a little bit, and then we see him hold up the M7. Teasing us Chou? We do not get a good look at the phone, but it something to get a little exited about. Check out the video below, and just yell with them like I did when I watched it earlier.

Re: Flight Simulator X Full Version Feedback Thread
Congratulations Steve you deserve the recognition, your repaints a quality items...so your doing some 'painting' for OZx as well eh? ... nice
The holiday was good thanks, only Cornwall, but we had stunning weather, which is great when you have a three year old who likes to play on the beach.
The thread where Chris talks about the weather engine and him having to quit full time developing is here.
It's a real shame things have turned out this way for all concerned, that includes those that have bought and supported FEX, but I guess these are tough times for everybody.
I have found I get to fly stutter free by locking the frame rate to 26, any higher and things get jumpy - I like to fly around FTX with an unlimited rate, but find locking in non-urban areas is now a must...it's a real bugger that putting any limit knocks the frame rate so drastically...around towns it's fine running 'unlimed' as the lower frame rate seems to stop the wild ups and downs.
Hoping the so called 'big bang' 180 drivers [big bull**** more like] will return things to the way they were
