Wacom Tablet Issue (Can you replace the usb cord?)
Hey all. I have a wacom Graphire4, and whenever I plug it in I have to find the right place for the wire to hang off the side of my laptop in order for the usb port to recognize it. Otherwise, when its plugged in its an unknown device. It recognizes it sometimes but only when the wire is at different angles, so I don't think its a driver or BIOS problem, especially since I've installed the latest driver for it. Any ideas?

Ergh... I don't know if it would work, but you could try this: Start your laptop and wait till it ain't loading anything anymore. Only then plug your Tablet in the USB... Hope it works!

So, you have to hold the cable at a specific angle for the tablet to work?
Sounds to me like the wire in the cable is broken.

Well, I have the similiar problem, though mine is the USB plug itself. I solved mine by connecting it to another USB extension cable, which I got it from buying a flash drive.

Since Ryan Gosling is from Canada, it's peculiar that when he speaks publicly or on film, he sounds like he just arrived in a time machine from Brooklyn, 1939.
In fact, he credits his accent to Marlon Brando, telling W Magazine that, "As a kid I decided that a Canadian accent doesn't sound tough. I thought guys should sound like [Brando]. So now I have a phony accent that I can't shake, so it's not phony anymore."
While it comes and goes, it's been around a lot recently, as evidenced in the Ryan Gosling Accent-O-Meter, a video compilation by Vulture that measures just how deep into Brooklyn Gosling will go.

Every parent, has struggled with this problem at some time, do I send my marginally sick kid to daycare or school or should I keep them home? The boogery truth about this is most of us parents have probably dropped off our dosed kid to school wondering if they were going to be able to make it through the day or would we get a call from the school nurse saying that we need to pick up our feverish kid.
Most adults are likely to have a common cold two to four times a year. Children, especially preschoolers, may have a common cold as many as six to 10 times annually." ~ Common Cold, Mayo Clinic
We all know the symptoms, it plays out like a NyQuil commercial; runny or stuffy nose, itchy or sore throat, cough, congestion, slight body aches or a mild headache, sneezing, watery eyes, low-grade fever (up to 102 F, or 39 C) and mild fatigue. In lieu of the recent trend by pediatricians and toxicologists to put pressure on the F.D.A. to clear over the counter cough & cold medicines from the shelves, what are we left to do when un-medicated kids have symptoms that linger for days and sometimes weeks?
Illness can occur throughout the year, but tends to cluster in the winter due to flu season. These illnesses can seem to spread like wild fire affecting other students, teachers, and family members. Families and schools need to balance the child's school attendance with the risk of spreading the illness to others in the school. Sometimes even minor illnesses require the child to stay home just to prevent the further spread of a contagious disease." ~ Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, MD, FAAP, Pediatrics Now | When to keep kids home
So what symptoms are worthy of missing a day of school? Here's an at-a-glance list of the deal-breakers:
And of all the popular opinions I found they all mention enthusiastically the best deterrent of spreading germs and disease is to consistently and routinely wash your hands and practice go hygiene.

Unable to get permission from his daughter to box basketball behemoth Shaquille O'Neal, embattled former big leaguer Jose Canseco is preparing to take on someone his own size. His twin brother Ozzie. That's right, the 1988 (yes, it really was 25 years ago) American League MVP will be in uniform as a player/coach for the United League's Fort Worth Cats when they kick off their season Thursday against Ozzie Canseco's Edinburg Roadrunners. "I am excited to come to Fort Worth and mentor the young ballplayers," the 48-year-old Canseco said. "I love Dallas/Fort Worth and I can't wait to go up against Ozzie." Publicity stunt? Sure. But when all you have going for you is dollar dog nights and "Thirsty Thursdays", getting Jose Canseco to agree to potentially humiliate himself...heck, the tickets practically sell themselves!

Beautiful 1884 Quarter Eagle, PR64 Deep Cameo1884 $2 1/2 PR64 Deep Cameo PCGS. The 1884 quarter eagle proof comes with a mintage of 73 coins. It is a very rare issue, with probably 30 to 40 pieces known in all grades. A little more that 40 examples have been graded by PCGS and NGC, and another 30 or so are assigned the Cameo designation. To date, PCGS has seen only one Deep Cameo, and NGC one Ultra Cameo. Additional date collector pressure is placed on the 1884 quarter eagle, as only 1,950 business strikes were made.
The peach-gold surfaces of this near-Gem example display beautiful gold-on-black contrast, and the design elements are crisply and uniformly struck. Close examination reveals no significant marks. The only pedigree markers that we can discern are a couple of alloy spots below the I in AMERICA.(Registry values: P3) (NGC ID# 2887, PCGS# 97910)

Google unveils maps, photo, music features
SAN FRANCISCO Google's sixth annual conference for software developers opened Wednesday with a chance for the company to showcase its latest services. Announcements included new features for online games, maps and search, a new music-streaming service and enhancements to its Google Plus social network, including tools for editing and sharing photos.
The audience of about 6,000 people at "Google I/O" included engineers and entrepreneurs who develop applications and other features that can make smartphones and tablets more appealing. Reporters from around the world were also on hand, giving Google a chance to generate more hoopla about its latest innovations. The keynote was also available live on a YouTube webcast.
Android already has been activated on 900 million devices made by Samsung Electronics Co., HTC Corp. and other manufacturers. Android devices are the chief rivals to Apple's iPhones and iPads. Android has helped Google make more money because its search engine and other services, including maps, are usually built into the devices. That tie-in drives more visitors to Google and gives the Mountain View, Calif., company more opportunities to sell ads.
The keynote kicked off at about 9 a.m. PDT and lasted about three and a half hours. The conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco goes through Friday.
Here's a running account of the event, presented in reverse chronological order. All times are PDT. Presenters included CEO Larry Page; Vic Gundotra, Google's senior vice president for engineering; Sundar Pichai, Google's senior vice president for apps and Chrome; Hugo Barra, vice president for product management for Android; Ellie Powers, a product manager at Google; Brian McClendon, a vice president who oversees Google Maps; and Daniel Graf, director of Google Maps.
12:30 p.m.
Page complains about how laws haven't kept up with the pace of technology. He says trying to create a Google Health service for keeping track of medical records hasn't been easy because of regulations.
He also says it's necessary to start earlier to get girls and young women interested in technology. And he says smartphones need to become more affordable in poorer countries.
Page closes the keynote with a remark about being able to use his phone for just about everything he needs to run the company. He says it's remarkable to think of what can happen when more people can have such access.
As Page walks off the stage, Google announces that Billy Idol is the featured performer at Wednesday's after-hours party.
12:15 p.m.
Google offers no new details on its Google Glass, which is an Internet-connected device and camera that can be worn on a person's face like a pair of spectacles. At last year's conference, Google co-founder Sergey Brin teased its potential by conducting a live video chat with a group of skydivers who were in a dirigible hovering above the convention. When they jumped, the skydivers' descent to the rooftop was shown live through the Google Glass camera.
Google Glass is now being tested by developers who bought a prototype edition, and Page doesn't know when it will be available to the general public. Page says Google is relying on developers to come up with scenarios on using the product.

In 1935, Edward A. Sparkman purchased two sets of dentures to stop a slight hiss that could have prevented him from receiving future work as an actor. (The second set was a backup so if one broke, he could still act.)
The courts ultimately said the expenditure was "nevertheless so purely personal in character" that it cannot be considered a legitimate business expense.
This is probably one of the most creative -- and shocking -- tax deductions out there.
Samuel T. Seawright and Carol A. Seawright had a little problem at their Columbia, S.C., junkyard: snakes and rats.
So the couple came up with a creative solution. They left out cat food to attract wild cats to the junk yard. Those cats would run off the snakes and rats.
So was the $300 they spent on cat food a legitimate tax deductions? Turns out it was.
Finally, we bring you one of the most obscure tax cases, which comes from Corey L. Wheir, a professional bodybuilder who tried to deduct high-protein buffalo meat, protein shakes and various kinds of body oils in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
Wheir ate three pounds of buffalo meat a day for muscle development. (If he had stuck to lower-protein beef, he apparently would have needed to consume six pounds a day.) He also consumed protein shakes.
He wrote off all that on his taxes as business expenses.
The court said "there is no doubt that buffalo meat is also consumed as food by nonbodybuilders, albeit not with the regularity and in the quantities consumed by petitioner." It ruled that his consumption was "inherently personal" and therefore not a legitimate deduction.
Additionally, Wheir used a number of oils to help him look better during competitions. The court found that the oils were a legitimate use for his business and, therefore, deductible.
So as you go through your taxes, consider some of these more unusual loopholes. As always, remember to consult a professional tax advisor. And the only reason we know about these deductions is because they all ended up in court.

With 91 days to go until the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ gets underway at the southern tip of Africa, we turn our focus to the number 91 in FIFA World Cup history.
Diego Maradona won 91 caps for Argentina and was a FIFA World Cup™ winner in 1986. Now coach of the national team, he is regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
Maradona is perhaps best remembered for his two goals against England in the 1986 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals. In the words of Maradona his first goal was scored, "a little with the head of Maradona and a little with the hand of God."
The Argentina captain quickly cast aside any doubt as to his pure football ability, when he scored a second goal by dribbling past five England players before sending the ball past Peter Shilton; the goal remains one of the greatest goals in FIFA World Cup history.

57 year old woman | Overland Park, KS, USA | Seeking men 42-54 within 25 miles of Shawnee Mission, KS
Active within 1 week
Sassy woman seeking honest intelligent friend
A bit on the shorter side, sassy, outgoing, will make you comfortable, as I'm rarely at a loss for words. I'm a good listener and loyal. As far as what I would look for in a man, I would prefer someone who takes care of his body, exercise, eats healthy, or, is at least open to the idea. I usually prefer dark hair, but, find gray very sexy, and I was once married to a blond. See, I am open! Intelligence is a big turn on for me. Attractive, but then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Sports are okay as long as there are other interests as well. I would be attracted to a man who IS really into his kids, if he has kids. I am interested in meeting men who are emotionally available and open spending time with a woman should the connection be there for both. I don't play games, so trust me on that.... I will figure that out quickly. I am comfortable in my own skin and don't mind being alone. Actually, would rather be alone then spend time with someone I am not into. I will give you plenty of space, as I like to have my own too. Love to tell stories and have plenty to tell, as I am a mom to 20 and 22 year old sons. I tend to be attracted to mysterious men who come across as serious, but have a ornery side. I am not usually attracted to the life of the party type of guy. I would probably seek out the quieter guy takin' it all in. For me, finding the right man, there either is a certain level of comfort that I must have, or there isn't. Also, must love to kiss. Seriously, I mean it. One thought has come to mind recently, so I thought I'd add it. YES, I misspelled Greece and typed Grease. Seriously, do any of you men have a problem with the mistake? I may be a bit ADD at times. Wonder if most of you even know what that means. Having said that, I don't feel the need to go back and correct it. I am having more fun with you guys who feel the need to point it out. One man commentary said that I should correct the mistake. Weeeelllll.....don't think so. If you can't handle a mistake of this magnitude, there must be a reason why you are still single. Just saying.

Wide range of taste in music with the exception of Country, only like a little. Love Italian, Mexican and Sushi....love RA for sushi. Really am not a picky eater....just like good food. TV shows, Castle, Grays Anatomy, Discovery Health.
Open for about anything that involves being outside, First Friday, Festivals, Concerts, Museums, Royals, Chiefs, KU basketball. Eating outside when the weather permits, city market. Working out.
Honestly, the stock market on my Iphone...ick, but I read it anyway. All books by Malcolm Gladwell, Book on body language, and girl stuff you wouldn't care to hear. :)

A recipe for change
A busy chef banishes bad food from her diet and takes up a life-changing exercise program
It wasn't an unfortunate photograph or an upcoming class reunion. No thunderbolt struck out of the blue.
But last July, Deborah Scott could no longer ignore what the scale was telling her. She was carrying 192 pounds on her 5-food-9 frame, and it was time to do something about it.
"My clothes didn't fit," said the 55-year-old executive chef of San Diego's Kemo Sabe, Indigo Grill, Island Prime and C Level Lounge eateries. "I didn't feel good. I was tired. I didn't have clarity."
That was seven months and 26 pounds ago. In that time, Scott has logged countless hours at the gym and overhauled her eating habits, which now include no "picking" off the line in her kitchens, and "no fast food anymore!"
Bye-bye, In-N-Out Double-Doubles and KFC coleslaw. Hello, Saffron Thai chicken with peanut sauce, seared ahi and homemade salads.
Along the way, Scott starred in a healthy dining segment for a Core Rhythms infomercial and created a bevy of "spa" recipes. Her favorites will debut this month on the menu at C Level.
"It is so funny how you think about things you want to do, and then you kind of deliberate on it for so long that once you finally do it, you wonder what took you so long," Scott said, from her kitchen at Island Prime on Harbor Island.
"The fear of doing it or thinking it's going to be hard is much worse than actually physically getting out there and doing it. It's just not that hard."
Breakfast these days starts with a tall glass of filtered water with a couple inches of grape juice. "I don't want plain water in the morning," said Scott, who practices the art of compromise by no longer drinking her juice straight.
A bowl of shredded wheat or another whole-grain cereal with blackberries and a banana rounds out the morning.
Lunch, more often than not, is a salad loaded with arugula, spinach, edamame, bell pepper, cucumbers, raw pepitas, marinated skirt steak, blue cheese and olives lightly dressed in balsamic vinaigrette. This vibrant bowl has become such a favorite of Scott's that it is one of the dishes she is putting on the C Level menu.
Dinner can be another bowl of cereal, if she's so inclined, or a center-cut ahi loin coated with sesame seeds and seared rare, with a small scoop of black rice and grilled asparagus.
Her favorite drink is Diet Lipton Green Tea Citrus. "I love that stuff," Scott said. "I can drink it by the case."
Over the holidays, working out a little less and indulging in sweets she wouldn't normally eat, Scott gained back 3 pounds. Rather than beat herself up, she resumed her thrice-weekly, two-plus hour gym visits when the new year dawned, and the extra pounds melted within a couple weeks.
Her workout buddy from the start has been former C Level food expediter and friend Synica Sameh. The 23-year-old, a fitness buff who is entering the training program for Navy SEALs next month, started Scott off with circuit training – what he calls "body-shock treatment" – to get her muscles into the habit of working out.

Orson Welles ate 18 of these hot dogs in one sitting, and you, too, will be tempted to order more than one. The chili dogs are the main draw, but the menu has expanded to include a Martha Stewart Dog (a 10-inch frank topped with mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, sauerkraut, bacon, and sour cream). Since 1939, Angelenos and tourists alike have been lining up to plunk down some modest change for one of the greatest guilty pleasures in L.A. Pink's is open until 3 am on weekends.
709 N. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, California, 90038, United States

There is never a time, day or night (including late at night) when there isn't a line halfway down the block to this little hot dog stand. I personally don't like hot dogs with the casing on, but I'll make a slight exception with Pinks. Locals and tourists love this place. It is a Hollywood institution and a City landmark. For those visiting Los Angeles in the summer, keep in mind that if you go to the Greek Theatre for one of the concerts held
there, you do NOT have to wait in the Pink's Hot Dogs line on La Brea -- you can get one (or two) at the Greek.
No Thanks

We just returned from a trip to Italy, concentrating on the provinces of Puglia and Campania close to Naples. It is a region that we enjoy because of the diversity of the foods and wines available.
We visited several new places but returned to one of our favorites, La Caveja, a country restaurant with eight rooms, in the village of Pietravairano. It is owned by Antonietta Rotondo and Berardino Lombardo. They hosted us two years ago, when we had a remarkable experience that lasted past midnight, observing just-picked olives being crushed into olive oil.
However, since our last visit, they have remodeled their farmhouse into a wonderful villa. It is a bed and breakfast, and includes six additional rooms. In Italy, it is called an agri-turismo.
We enjoyed a delicious dinner that they cooked in their newly restored kitchen, and for dessert, Antonietta served us honey-glazed fritters fried in olive oil. She called them Scavatelle and said they were made from a traditional recipe that was handed down from her grandmother.
I couldn't help but think how perfect these fritters fried in olive oil and dipped in a honey syrup would be to serve for our Chanukah celebration. She was happy to share the recipe with me, when I told her that I would like to serve them to our family.
This pastry is easy to make, and it is a project that you can share with your children or grandchildren. Baking helps teach children to follow directions, how to measure and weigh ingredients, tell time and other useful skills. So, let them help in the shaping and dipping of these delicacies.
The dough can be rolled out several hours in advance and covered with a dry towel. Fry and dip in the honey syrup just before serving, so they will be warm and crisp.
Remember, Chanukah begins at sundown on Tuesday, Dec. 7. Happy Chanukah!
Scavatelle (Fried Pastries)
Adapted by Judy Zeidler from Antonietta Rotondo at La Caveja.
Antonietta said that these pastries are traditionally served on a large lemon leaf.
1 cup, plus 2 tablespoons water
1 cinnamon stick
1 tablespoon olive oil
Peel from 1/2 of a lemon
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup flour
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon sugar
Peel of 1/2 a lemon
1 tablespoon water
Olive oil for frying
In a saucepan, place water, cinnamon stick, olive oil, lemon zest, sugar and salt. Boil for two or three minutes. Remove zest and cinnamon stick. Add flour all at once, and using a wooden spoon, mix until dough comes together. It will be lumpy.
Spoon dough onto a floured board, punch down and knead into a flat disk to remove lumps. Pull off pieces of dough and roll out into thin ropes.
Cut into 6-inch ropes and working with one rope, bring one end of rope around to form a loop, crossing over the other end (leaving 1/2-inch ends) and pinching to resemble a bow tie. Place on paper towels and cover with a dry dish towel.
In a saucepan, place honey, sugar, lemon peel and water. Mix well and simmer over low heat.
In a deep fryer or heavy saucepan, heat oil and fry pastries until browned. Dip in honey syrup and serve at once.
Makes about four dozen.

I'm using two string vectors to store two text files. I need to compare both and change the word to "*" of matched words. I have got all that working for strings that match 100% ('bat' to 'bat') but I need it to also include battle as it has the string 'bat' in it. I have tried to use strcmp but have had no luck! If anyone can be helpful and try and point me in the right direction. Thank you. The testlist vector contains all the word list and the inputlist contains the raw-data (sentences and words).
Here are the codes:
for (int j=0; j < testlist.size(); j++)
for (int i = 0; i < inputlist.size(); i++)
if (inputlist[i] == testlist[j])
inputlist[i] ="*";

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY)– The level of dissatisfaction from teachers at Ashley High School in Wilmington is growing.
WWAY recently told you about the initial, and dismal results of those teacher satisfaction surveys.
Monday we learned about a second survey sent out in response to the initial survey. What it shows is the school seems to be concerned about the initial survey results.
Seventy-five percent of teachers responded to the 2014 teacher satisfaction survey compared to 47 percent in 2012.
Their concerns stem from what appears to be a lack of school leadership.
Questions from the survey include:
Teachers feel comfortable raising issues and concerns that are important to them? 20 percent agree. That's down from 68 percent two years ago.
There is an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect in this school? About 19 percent agree, down from 59 percent in 2012.
The school leadership makes a sustained effort to address teacher concerns about leadership issues? Twenty-seven percent agree, down from 69 percent in 2012.
Teachers have sufficient access to appropriate instructional materials? Thirty-nine percent agree, down from 70 percent in 2012.
After airing our initial story about concerns at Ashley teacher, concerns poured in via email.
In one email, a teacher said Ashley High School is, "a scary place to work."
"It has been the worst year at Ashley ever this year. Our principal is a bully and is retaliatory," wrote another teacher. That teacher added that everyone is afraid of losing their job if they speak up.
WWAY has tried twice to get either the New Hanover County Schools Superintendent Dr. Tim Markley or Ashley High School Principal Jackson Norvell to speak with us.
Markley said no both times. Norvell just left without responding once and has yet to respond to our second request.
Someone is responding to teachers though.
In an email to WWAY, a teacher sent us a copy of a survey that appears to have been sent from school administrators to staff in response to the survey.
The problem is teachers say this survey would not have been anonymous so some were afraid to respond.
In the interest of full disclosure Chris Brown, the reporter on this story, graduated from Ashley High School in 2004.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Cha-Cha and his partner Hazel are psychotic neo nazis who seem to really enjoy their jobs at the Temps Aeternalis as assassians. They were sent to kill 00.05 of the Umbrella Academy. They did not care who they killed, as long as they had some form of sweet available for consumption. This went so far as cutting off the arms and legs of a chef to get his apple pie recipe...they then forgot why they had captured him in the first place. Their next step was to get someone close to 00.05. They found Séance, who was drunk and trying to talk to the dead Pogo. They captured him, and tortured him horribly. He did not know the location of 00.05, but was forced to give away the location of several nuclear missiles. Once they got all they wanted out of him, Hazel and Cha Cha shot him in the head, killing him. But Séance was not going to stay dead. Kicked back to Earth, he possessed Cha Cha, and blew out first Hazel's brains, then Cha Cha's, before returning to his own body and helping Spaceboy rescue 00.05.

I was thinking about getting an OTTB for jumping but I also want to do long trail rides or maybe even endurance riding. My concern about an OTTB is don't thoroughbreds have weaker legs compared to other breeds ( I could be completely wrong with this thought)? I do have a soft spot for OTTBs but I also like Saddlebreds and other gaited horses, which do you think would be a good horse for both of these sports and why?
Another thing is I like is a taller horse atleast 15.2hh, perferrably taller.

Single exhaust to duals
Hey guys, got a 2012 outdoorsman that use to have a single exhaust out. Converted to a magnaflow dual cat back last year with a single in and dual out muffler. I'm pretty happy with the performance but was looking and getting into a DI/DO setup. Will I need to Cat's for this setup? Or can I use a DI/DO muffler and y-pipe off the Cat?. Looking to get the best performance for the best price.
Your truck already has two cats on it. One on each side just down from the exhaust manifolds. All you would have to do is cut off the Y-pipe and then run the dual pipes to your muffler.
You aren't going to gain much by doing that though... You'd be better off just swapping out the stock Y-pipe with an aftermarket Magnaflow one and keeping your SI/DO muffler. The other option would be to go to a true dual set up with an X-pipe but that will involve a full custom exhaust from the cats back.

After reading the majority of reviews, I was convinced this would be a great addition to my guest room. Boy, was I ever wrong. Obviously, I didn't receive the same product as those who were impressed with this duvet cover, because I was thoroughly disappointed. The fabric was similar to that of a sheet with an extremely low thread count. In no way does it have the look of a duvet cover - it looks like a sheet on top of your bed. And while the image on the web site displays somewhat of a shiny/satin-like texture, it was very dull and rough. Unfortunately, I returned the product the next day after receiving. Now... I have ordered from overstock.com in the past and will continue to do so, but if you're on-the-fence-in-the-least , consider yourself warned -- and keep on shopping. Overstock has several other great items from which to choose!
I was disappointed when I pulled it out of the box. The fabric is soft, but looks a little cheap. The stitching is large and cheap-looking on the edges. The scale of the pattern is too large for my taste. So large, in fact, that it makes the duvet appear more masculine in person. Online, it looked feminine and flowery. In person, it looks more modern and more like giant coral. The queen size was also too small for my queen bed. It didn't cover the sides.
This duvet looks great. The fabric is a little burlap-y, but still comfortable to sleep under, especially if you usually end up too warm. The real problem for me is that because the button closure is not on the end, it's about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the duvet and the buttons are widely spaced apart, both me and my husband get our feet caught in it. You go to turn over in the night and you get trapped toes. Even though I love the way it looks, I have to get rid of it.
I thought this was black and white. It is black and cream...it didn't go with my white sheets so I must return. The material looks like a linen blend...cute with the design. Kinda earthy.
Duvet was just as described except a full/queen does not fit a queen bed very well. It was extremely short in width and a little short in length. Since this was for my daughter's bed and the bed is pushed against the wall on one side (and I already had a queen feather comforter) I kept it anyway. I figured the king would have swallowed my queen comforter.
Fabric is not a sateen cotton; which is what I'm use to. Othe than that....it's very beautiful and inexpensive.
I found this douvet on OS a few weeks back and LOVED the way it looked online. I was concerned it wasnt going to POP like it did online, but as soon as I got it, it looked fabulous ... just the way it does online. It is a very comfortable material and for such a great price!! The only downside, is because the top side is all black, it shows every piece of white lint that is flying in the air as well as dog hair that clings to the surface. Very happy with this purchase .... it was exactly what i was looking for!
I'm very impressed with the look, feel and quality. It attracts dust and hair a bit, but cleans off easily. Please note it is dry clean only!
I love this duvet cover. It's perfect. Contemporary - and the quality is very good. There are only 2 cons: first, if you have a pet. The black shows all lint and pet hair immediately! The cotton seems to also attract lint, etc. The second con is that the material is not the highest quality. It's OK - maybe like 250 threadcount sheets. But for the price - and the great look - I do love this duvet cover set.
While this duvet looks great online, the quality is poor and every piece of lint sticks to it! The color faded the first time I washed it and no matter what I do, I collects lint like a magnet. Do not buy it.
I really like my duvet set... It's comfortable, and really makes my room pop. I ordered a king size and it is actually too BIG for my king size down comforter... so just keep this in mind when you order!
This is a really different and pretty duvet set. But I just put it on a queen bed and it barely comes down the sides of the bed. If you have a mattress that is thick at ALL, I'd recommend maybe getting a king size. Other than that, the fabric is nice quality and the pattern is very cool and unique.
love it and it looks so luxurious. i finally found something that looks like a million bucks
Loved how this fit and the style of the leaves on it.
The print was beautiful but the sheets were so thin you could see right through them.
Love it! Very soft, nice fabric.
I really like this cover. It looks great and has worn well. We've had it for over a year.
my daughter ended up with this cover she loved it
They are pretty but didn't really fit very well.
Was disappointed by the fabric, LOVE the pattern, but would not have made purchase had I had felt it first. Not soft, collects lint VERY easy!

Half yes half no.
I don't not need to be a hero or chosen one in a MMO. SWTOR clearly overdid this, because just being a simple Creature Handler or Dancer in SWG was just as fun.
However, I want my quests, if anything, more personalized even. I really have enough of generic quests. Sure some part of the quests can be generic. Maybe half of it. But I certainly want some sort of personal recognition. SWTOR did this WAAAY too less in my book, because whatever you do or decide, almost nothing of it ever came back to you (contrary to what Bioware promised!).
I do not need to be a hero, but I want the game to react to me and my doings. I want choices and consequences that come back to me in the game and make some different in my experience.

I am mostly with you. I would like more open worlds that felt like worlds not themeparks just minus any ffa pvp. Aside from the botters and multiboxers DAoC to me was a wonderful game until Atlantis. Even the Original EQ was decent until Scars of Velious.

I don't Forum PVP. If you feel I've attacked you, it was probably by accident.
The main issue I see with storyline gameplay in MMORPGs is that the world is completely static. Nothing stays dead. No achievement stays achieved, tasks all reset. It's difficult to be the "hero" when what you did doesn't change anything.
The problem is that if permanent changes were possible, the first players woul get to do them and everyone after would be stuck standing around with nothing to do.
Time doesn't move. It's like the grounhog day movie with the same events happenening over and over.
As much as I dislike phasing, it seems to be the means to an end where time does move forward allowing storyline to progress and changes to be seen as permanent from the character's perspective.
So the good side is that technology exists to offer storyline mode. The drawback is that it chops up a full world into time slivers making the world feel disconnected and discouraging grouping for players who are not in the same phase of a given area.

My favorite is when I get called a Hero endlessly and cheered by everyone around me like I'm some kind of god.
Looking back at the history of MMOs, they really have become pathetic these days.

I think with my heart and move with my head.-Kongos
I've often wondered if a game where players progress through theme park story content first, and then live in the sandbox world at end game would work. Players could 'retire' as farmers, or they could continue fighting the good fight in PvE or PvP content, just without the tightly scripted quest content.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

Why yes, I DO like healing and the Trinity!
I would say the tendency to be the hero/heroine constantly (ie, the special snowflake) in games is a trend that follows the tabletop genre almost perfectly. You could practically graph them out and lay them atop one another with virtually no distinction, starting with the sandboxes/OD&D all the way to SWTOR and the rise of the storygame while long-lived games like WoW match more up with modern D&D (including its evolution of simplifying character interactions/choices and D&DNext).
I wouldn't find any of this surprising, really.

It is nice to be insignifigant, at least until the end of the leveling process, because i want to feel as if we are all forging our own legends in the game. If you are already a legend at level 1, then there's really no room for growth. Rand al'Thor was an insignifigant backwoods ant before discovering that he was the Dragon Reborn in the Wheel of Time series. He wasn't a world burner until like book 5.
I like a slow build with an epic finish. That's just me though. Others may feel differently.

Some of it would be hard and other things would just be a different way of developing... some are even being done as we speak.
If a complex system is programmed really, really well at the beginning it should mean less work later. Notice in the quotes below the concept of "Dens"... pretty well what I described in one of my posts above except these "orcs" don't travel as far... they do however behave in a more organic non-respawning way... or in GW2 speak, actually "dynamic"
(from Game Features - Nations)
Growing a city will cause NPCs start to appear in the city, and as players open shops other NPCs will appear to run those shops. Since the mission system we offer is dynamic, it will be able to make use of the NPCs in the cities and the surrounding wilderness area for job offerings. Another important part of the wilderness is spawning areas we refer to as dens. Dens are a physical object that can be destroyed and that will stop critters from spawning out into the world. If the dens go unchecked, the area will start to crawl with critters and eventually they will start to grow in size as well as numbers. Critters offer economical value for crafting, like many other games. They provide all sorts of needed components that can be extracted once they are dead. The critters and dens can also be targeted during missions offering PvE elements from the cities and additional resources for crafters and adventurers both.
(from Game Features - Missions)
The generated mission system works on the concept of templates and roles. Missions are created from templates which can specify a variety of criteria. Each of our NPCs has a variety of settings that make them eligible or ineligible for certain generated mission types. This includes a mix of static and changing traits. Their Profession and Personality for example are static traits. While their Mood and Dilemma are mutating traits. Mutating traits can be altered by yourself or other players completing missions. For example, if you double cross an NPC with a Vindictive personality, they may seek revenge. Each Dilemma has a cause, and that cause can be either a player or an NPC
These guys are trying to do The Repopulation as a "sandbox done right" (AKA "hybrid".) I wish them all the success because they have some great ideas:

And now, all of a sudden, there are no enemies to fight near the town and players stop coming to the town and the NPC's stop spawning and populating and you get yet another failed ghost town.
The Repopulation devs need to do some research into the history of UO and specifically their whole dynamic ecology system.
I appluad them for trying something new, but systems only work - no matter how complex or how simple - if players follow the rules.
I've probably been lurking for way, way too long.
Originally posted by BadSpock
I hear you but let me point out two things: these are player created towns with shops, houses etc. owned by players and once they reach a certain size, neutral structures such as cloning facilities (player respawns) etc. And many resources are not mob-dependent. Those will stil be there.
Also, dens themselves spawn producing different mobs (semi random types) in other nearby locations. They'll be re-spawning dens for game play purposes instead of individual mobs. How they manage it will be the key in maintaining a replenishing interesting ecology balanced against the types of artificial game mechanics most MMOs use now.
I think these guys have indeed done their homework.
Originally posted by BadSpock
Well actually UO ecology system was not even tried to be saved, at least not for long anyway. Unless my memory fails me, ecology system failed very fast (no animals, mobs especially weaker ones because players slaughtered them way too fast than anticipated) and because it needed to be "fixed" fast. It was replaced with standard spawn system.
Now wonder 'what if' someone would try to adjust and change this system knowing how players behave?
It was one try and scrapped fast. Imho not enough to know that idea is impossible to implement.

Gaming should be about fun, not gender equality.
I agree with you OP and that is why I have a hard time getting immersed in quest driven, story based MMORPGs.
So you want me to kill this bad ass NPC, even though I know he has been killed by a thousands of other players before me in the same "world"?
Sorry but no. Single player quests in MMORPGs is a big fail.

Yeah systems without punishent for breaking the rules does not work. Examples can be found in real life and also in games. In games - in example - the more anonymous and automatic game is the more asshatery there is.

Except that's where you and others falter.
Your not supposed to think beyond the story and infer that others have killed the same bad ass NPC; that thousands of other players have done the same deeds. That's where the "role play" part comes in and that's where many players mess up because they are too stuck in the "literal" reality of what is happening.
And that's why theme park mmo's don't work for everyone.
Because, if I play a game of skyrim and I kill the Ulfric Storm Cloak that's not stopping thousands of other players from doing the same. The only thing that maintains the illusion is that it's a single player game. He's still being kill by thousands of other players. In an mmo with other players inhabiting the same space, you still have to adopt that "it was only you who was approoached to kill "Thurm the Tall". You are supposed to adopt a role play reason and immerse yourself in the quest that is given.
But players can't seem to do that.
Originally posted by fenistil
Exactly. It just needs to be done with some anticipation and contingency plans. I think what we all hate and have gotten increasingly bored with is the system that regenerates the same 6 mobs you just killed, including the one veteran level mob, 2 minutes after you killed them in exactly the same spot... it's just the same "ride" restarting for the next customer.
There is a lot of room between that extreme and the empty zone. The area should be kept alive and interesting but better mechanics need to be used... In real life ecologies evolve and open niches are taken over by the next species in line. All it takes is some acceleration of natural processes and we have a more immersive and believable changing environment. All a developer would need to do is increase or decrease the rate as needed.

Also, let's not forget the great Donnie Sadler, the designated pinch runner for Griffey.
I also remember many thought it was worth a shot due to his high OBP and getting more chances to bat.

There's a reason Bob isn't managing anymore...
...actually, there are many reasons!
* Sunday, July 27, 2003. Boone's last game. REDS beat the Mets 8-5.
* Monday, July 28, 2003. A businessperson special. Knight fills in for one game as an interim manager before Dave Miley takes over. REDS beat the Phillies 6-5 in 10 innings on a Kelly Stinnett bases loaded single.
> Jose Guillen hits a HR in each of the games and then is traded to the A's on Tuesday, July 29, 2003. Also the same day that Scott Williamson was dealt to the Red Sox.
Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
What I could never figure out is how could someone who caught more games than anyone in MLB history be so absolutely clueless when it came to managing a game. I would think by the time Bob's 2,000th game behind the plate rolled around, he would have gotten a clue as to how a game should be managed,

One thing that always made me laugh was when Bowden traded Espinosa (sp ?) to the Tigers for Brian Moehler, and the Tigers threw Matt Boone into the deal, and Bob Boone said something like "Matt Boone could end up being the key to the whole deal."
I don't know why, I always found that really funny.
BTW, I had no problem batting Dunn leadoff; it's not like anything else was working at the time.

I stayed in the hotel end of March for a Bankers meetings and the hotel had just opened. A total disappointment for a Waldorf Astoria. Here are a few notable comments:
1. Location. Weird. While central and close to Ave. Balboa and happening Uruguay street, the hotel is in on a side street surrounded by middle class residential buildings built in the 80s. Not the location you would expect for a Waldorf. No fancy shops, no fancy restaurants, just an abandoned kindergarden and a carwash.
2. Decor. The hotel is brand new and it looks OK... if you are used to Sheratons and Crowne Plazas. It has nice furniture, but not luxurious. While they have used some granites and marbles, they have cheap looking plastic walls in the lobby and restaurant.
3. Service. Staff is extremely cordial and well mannered... but as many new hotels, they are just lost. Restaurant service the first day took two hours to get our main meal (we were a table of 10). Check in took 20 minutes (but at least they had a smile).
4. Food. Salt, Salt, Salt. I ate there two times. Both times with large dinner parties. Food is so ridicuosly salty, both times more than half the people in our parties had to send the food back because it was so salty (it happened with different dishes, including my very dissapoiting cobb salad).
5. Rooms. Nice and spacious. Liked the bathrooms a lot... but the views are terrible. You are overlooking into other people´s apartments.
6. Pool area.The pool once again overlooks these terrible older apartments and the pool itself is a cream color (?). Looks aweful.
Overall, the hotel looks like an apartments building that the Waldorf Astoria name was forced upon. You if you are looking true good hotel experience in Panama, there are so many better options nowadays. Le Meridien or Trump are the best in town, and even the older Bristol or InterContinental offer a much nicer product than this Waldorf wannabe.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- The Waldorf Astoria Panama is conveniently located on Calle Uruguay, a vibrant street known for its entertainment and restaurants, and only within steps from the financial banking center. This new hotel jewel will feature 248 guestrooms, suites and luxury residences as well as an array of culinary options to serve the most exquisite palates.

Your guests will certainly enjoy inviting facilities with sophisticated furnishings and an ample number of restaurants and activities within the hotel, as well as experience the sincerest definition of personalized service while living the True Waldorf Service, which aims to offer guests luxury attention during a memorable stay in Panama. ... more less

Who's ready for those rope climbs? We all love to hate them, but they are a great whole body exercise that enables us to build strength in our grip, forearms, biceps, shoulders, and back. It's an overall butt kicker, but definitely worthwhile. Last week there were a few athletes that made it to the top for the very first time, Congrats!! Who will it be next? There's many variations to the rope climb, so try and push yourself to the hardest adaptation.
Ever see people roll out there hips/glutes/quads, but hardly ever see any of that same sort of "smashing" to their triceps and shoulders? Well it's very simple to do, and very effective. With very light and ample pressure one can smash someone else's triceps to loosen them up and help enable them reach a more efficient range of motion. Give it a shot and you should feel better and less tight immediately as well into the next day!
