As a kid I moved around a lot. I grew up...
As a kid I moved around a lot. I grew up mostly on an orange grove in Corona, California before moving to Laguna Beach for high school. Laguna Beach in the early 80s was just a small beach town before the glitteratti and the coastal commission entered the scene. I did a six-month road trip across the USA back in '96 and my favorite places ended up being Memphis, Key West and Savannah. I quit my software job and moved to Memphis and started a biomedical engineering degree at Memphis State. In short order I got bored and moved to NYC in 1997 during the internet boom/bust and sadly 9/11. I lived on the Upper East Side and the West Village and would still be there except I have two California kids here in Palo Alto. They inspire me with their optimism and simple joys and I think vice-versa. I've lived in a lot of beautiful places - Mexico City, Vail, the South of France, Cape Cod, etc. However, I truly love California. It is without a doubt the best road trip state ever - Yosemite, Mt Shasta, Napa, Tahoe, the Redwoods, Harris Ranch (the ghetto Palm Springs of the bay area), Pinnacles, Joshua Tree and Death Valley. In my twenties I would wake up early on a Saturday and randomly pick a place on the map. I do lots of sports - ocean kayaking, running, beach volleyball, sailing, golf, mountain biking, skiing, gymnastics, basketball, etc. On a warm day in the Summer I love to kayak out into the middle of the Bay and chill with my PB and J. I've climbed Shasta and Whitney a bunch of times and love to go camping. Oh and frisbee is a sport right? I always travel with my frisbee. There's nothing prettier than a frisbee in flight. I was a golf instructor at Club Med in Florida after grad school. I have incredible friends from all over the world because of it. During the OJ trial I called in sick for a week. I like smart people. They challenge me. I worked at Apple in product development for 15 years on some revolutionary products and am now working on digital textbooks for higher ed. Reinventing how college students learn is pretty rewarding. I speak fluent French and Spanish (although my nickname in Mexico was Gringote - the biggest of all gringos :). Italian and Japanese are next on my list. I have beautiful, bold, polite kids – a little girl Levi (7) and a big boy Otis (9). I have them 50/50. We are a team and have amazing adventures together. Now let's get to you… You're interesting, smart, fun, cute, sporty, sexy and independent. Simple things make you happy. You're well read and travelled. You have solid values and a deep appreciation for life. You aren't troubled by things you can't control. You don't flirt with anyone except your man. You like to sleep to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. You're happy on your own, but happier with me.

Unfortunately, a lot of truckers don't use the c.b. that much anymore. Of course, some still do. But these days it is not unusual that a trucker may not even have a c.b. in the truck. Some of that depends on what part of the country you are in, and the area you are driving in. If you are near a truck stop there will be more truckers on the radio.
Cops can monitor the c.b., but most do not. And if they do happen to hear you, the best odds are that they will not do anything. Of course, you may run across a "Barney Fife" who thinks he has to "nip it in the bud", lol. But most cops don't do anything at all. There are hookers advertising on the c.b. at truck stops, and guys selling drugs. It would be the easiest thing in the world for a cop to bust all the hookers (lot lizards) in a truck stop. But they don't even bother. The only time they will, is if the owner of the truck stop complains to the cops, and even then the truck stop would have to monitor the c.b. themselves, and call the cops when they hear illegal activity.
But as far as cops caring about your wife flashing a trucker, they don't. And yes, any drivers running a c.b. will give a shout to the other drivers if they spot something good. It would probably be fun for you to buy a cheap c.b., you can get a handheld one for probably 10-20 bucks. It won't have much range, but you can hear anything in about a half-mile radius. They just won't be able to hear you unless you are practically right next to them. But you will be able to hear the comments they make, and that might be a lot of fun for your wife.

Hey, wondered what had happened with you. Sounds like you had a little fun, and a lot more to be had in the future.
Check my post above, to ffdp. Might be some useful info for you. I would recommend getting some type of c.b., if wifey got motivated by the lights and horns, just think how hot she will get if she can hear what they are saying. H3ll, she may get so hot she will want to answer them.
Hope it keeps working out for you.

We had a good time. Thanks for your help. I will post after our next drive, probably late May.

wife is very mad, we went out and passed about 50 or so truckers and she only got a response from one of them and she was showing everything. I dont understand why, shes not fat and ugly, she is a very good looking girl with a very nice body(big breasts and nice round back side, and thin waist) she said she doesnt think she will do it anymore(I hope she will change her mind)
#425 May 4, 2011
tell her not to give up the first 20-30 we passed paid no attention. What I did was slow down to their speed then get 10-20' ahead then slow down and letter them catch. That still only worked on 4 out of 20. Good luck because she will enjoy when they notice, and you will enjoy later.
#427 May 4, 2011
So true , my lady friend loved ever minute of it and afterwards for me was just outstanding in pleasing me on the home with a mouth full of joy . While we were together we did this about every other weekend and it turn me on just as much as it turned her on . There was a time that I had ask her if she wanted to see his package since he got to see her , and for about 45 sec. of complete silence she ask how that could happen . I told her to motion for him to follow and she could ask to see for herself . Needless to say it didn't happen , however she did talk about it durning sex and I replied back with , it's you party so invite who ever you want . Wish she would call and ask if we could have another party , I sure do miss those days .
#428 May 4, 2011
the trick isn't to Pass them, but to ride a little ahead of them then back down to side by side. give the trucker a minute or two to realize you've intentionally slowed next to him. it's then that he will take his eyes off the road and glance down. trust me, once you catch his eye, he'll usually do everything possible to maintain the same speed as you for as long as he can. I've had some slow from what i felt was a dangerous 85mph to a leisurely 55mph on the highway because I was slowing down. the only thing they are thinking at that point is to look at the woman. Keep it up and you'll be having rushes all night from smiles, honks, lights flashing and a lot of waves and propositions. LOL I've been doing this for years and it never gets old. btw, for all you truckers out there, Im a 40H, natural

Yes, that is very good advice. It's important to remember that truck drivers are still just average guys, and there will be many of them that do not care to look. But a lot of times, it is just because they did not notice in the first place.
If the previous poster's wife, or any other woman, is uncomfortable exposing herself to any driver who may not be interested, she can simply get the attention of a drive while she is fully clothed. If she gives the driver a little wave and a smile or wink, she will be able to judge by his reaction if he is interested and then she can flash away.
But making sure that the driver is paying attention is key.
#431 May 21, 2011
We started having sex on the interstate where the truckers could watch. It got me terribly aroused knowing that they could see my vagina as my husband rubbed me to orgasm. They really liked watching me tweek my nipples too.
I could also orgasm from excitement as they honked their horns while I performed oral sex on my husband. They liked seeing the evidence left on my breasts and face when I sat up.

Trust me, ima driver myself, I always look for something but only have been successful maybe three times. I always watch for short short skirts and lots of leg and very low cut shirts. Not too often does it happen but when it does it sure does help the trip pass by faster. Usually if it looks Good enough and excites me too much I'll pull over n unload lol.

My ex-wife used to enjoy flashing on the interstate. I have always enjoyed her flashing truckers. We drove from S Florida to Dallas in two days. She was not allowed to wear anything in the car. She was only allowed to wear a sundress at rest stops and to eat. She was instructed to bend at the waist into the trunk at rest stops and flash the trucks that were parked closer to the interstate. I remember having a towel folded under her butt because I used baby oil to finger her almost all the way across Louisiana. I dont remember having even one truck honk the entire way. We did have a guy follow us to a hotel room after she flashed him her ass in the parking lot. I had her stand on an overpass in the dark stark naked and wave at the trucks going under the overpass. I enjoyed her being naked.
#434 May 29, 2011
Have read quite a few of these posts. I was out with my wife last night on I-25 between Denver and Colorado Springs. We must have passed at least 35 trucks and no one seemed to be watching. She even waved out an open window once to get attention. She has a great little body and was naked part of the time. I have a CB and did not recieve even one answer to calls. Must have been a bad night

Ohhh how excited I was to find this thread of conversations! This has been a HUGE fantasy of mine for years and this past year my husband and I finally got to do it for real. We were heading out of Florida to Illinois and had plenty of time to do some quality flashing and exposing. I wore a short red plaid skirt (hubbys request) with no panties and a very shaved smooth pussy..with just a little stripe of my strawberry blonde hair...on top I wore a white blouse...no bra and my very pink nipples bounced around the entire trip.
My favorite moment was when he had me get on all fours...roll the window down, and expose my little pink lips to all who drove by while i swallowed his cock. Mmmmm that warm air...and beeps from passers by got me so wet and turned on I was able to cum with little touching at all.
We had alot of fun on that trip...every chance I got I was showing off my goodies. Lots a waves and winks..it really turned me on. I was surprised how many lady drivers enjoyed the view. I also made sure when we stopped at rest areas...that I bent over just a little bit too much when tying my tennis shoes or unpacking our cooler of snacks and drinks...mmmm so loved being naughty...That trip was by far the best!

BELLINGHAM - More than two years after raising the concern, city officials still don't know whether an extra railroad track would be built along Boulevard Park and the waterfront to accommodate additional trains for a proposed coal terminal at Cherry Point.
City Council member Michael Lilliquist drafted a letter for the full council's consideration on Monday, July 21, that would renew the city's request for more information about the additional rail traffic that would result from the Gateway Pacific Terminal.
The terminal, now tentatively scheduled to open in 2019 if approved, would ship up to 48 million tons of coal a year to overseas markets. Up to nine trains a day would deliver coal from mines in Wyoming and Montana to Cherry Point, with nine empty trains returning daily through Bellingham.
BNSF Railway has told the city not to assume a railroad siding would be built through Bellingham to handle the extra trains. That was two years ago, and Lilliquist said he has heard nothing since to convince him otherwise.
"We have received no reassurances that that won't happen," Lilliquist said in an interview Friday, July 18. "All existing evidence is that when capacity is reached, that will be the preferred solution."
Council will discuss the draft letter at meetings at 1:10 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. on Monday at City Hall, 210 Lottie St. The draft has at least one new wrinkle compared to a similar letter delivered to Whatcom County officials in 2012: the mention of more trains delivering crude oil to Whatcom refineries.
"Travel times for freight trains along the Bellingham segment may be longer, and the capacity constraints more severe, than previously supposed," the draft says.
The letter would ask the county to require the terminal proponent, SSA Marine, to account for train-traffic impacts and any requirements for new rail construction in Bellingham, so that it could be included in a 13-month environmental review of the terminal that's about to begin.
County officials might in any case be required to do this according to their own code, the letter says.
The applicant of a major project must show that it won't "impose uncompensated requirements" for new services or utilities, the letter says.
The code was written, Lilliquist said, "to protect the taxpayers from what could be insurmountable financial burdens." More tracks could require the construction of overpasses, which could cost tens of millions of dollars, Lilliquist said.

His second relationship lasted 3 years (and consisted of even more drugs). They weren't careful at all, and she still never got pregnant. Then he met me. Single mother of two.
He cleaned up, got back into the oilfield and is the best father my children could ever possibly have. He's been absolutely sober since we got together and now that we've been married a few months, we'd love to try and have a baby.
He's convinced he can't have children. I told him it might have been the drugs and the horrible life he was living ...but who knows. I've managed to convince myself that when I remove my iud in two days, we'll get pregnant shortly after. (It only took a few tries with my ex husband before I got pregnant both times)
Overall, how do I cope with the fact that we can't have a child together? I would love for him to be able to experience that joy of having his own ...but he says he's just fine with the two kids we DO have if all else fails. Me, on the other hand, four of my cousins are pregnant and I'm dying to have another! Lol
Any positive advice would be absolutely wonderful. Thanks!

I think we go to the same places.
Sure. the road ( bad one ) continues towards lake Zipringa. There is a bridge, and if yu continue over that, you will be on the way to Olanga National Parka and further south Pääjärvi village etc. There is a fence across the dam, and you need a permission from the power company to get the fence open.
Thank´s I was lucky to be there at that right moment :-)

Maybe I used too small a chicken but this was a fairly tasteless, dry result. I might try again with a larger bird but otherwise nothing to commend it.
I must say this is a juicy bird. We let the skin sear a bit before placing the brick on, we marinated the bird in VOO and garlic over night. I have done beer can chicken(dry) , this is easy and moist but stick to temperature. we did 20-25 min then 10-15 on flip side.
This is fine if all you want is grilled chicken. But you don't need a brick; it will be just fine without it. I have had incredible "Chicken Under A Brick" in fine restaurants, done in a cast iron pan and served with pan juices. Done on a grill, it is pretty ordinary. Just had it the other night in an Italian restaurant with a great reputation and was sadly disappointed because they grilled it, leaving all the wonderful juices to just drip away. Maybe if you don't know how to cook, you'll think it's good, but if you've ever had the real thing? Not so much.
Go easy on the salt before frying!! Remember they're already brined.
This was awesome. I'm so glad I didn't go searching the buzz box because I wouldn't have given it a chance based on the low fork numbers. However, with a little 4-3-2-1 rub (I think those are the numbers) it turned out beautifully. All four of us (including a 3 and a one year old) inhaled it...which is saying something.
I'd always wanted to try this technique and this summer I did. While this is a very BASIC recipe, it lends itself to countless variations using herbs, spices, seasonings, flavored oils,etc.... So, my advice is to use this recipe as a springboard to delicious and creative menus using this method, both with a brick, or heavy cast-iron skillet or cast-iron grill pans, or in an oven, or on the stove-top. It is a great technique, and gives a beautifully crispy skin and juicy meat.
For those that are looking for a more interesting version of chicken under a brick, try this one: Chicken Under a Brick with Avocados and Chiles. I tried it for the first time last weekend. It was YUMMY! (I also used a cast iron skillet).
I've done the same in a fry pan with cornish hens. Then just halve the chickens right down the center and place 1/2 hen on each plate.
@fifi9 I've done something similar with a cast iron skillet in the oven, using a second skillet to weigh it down instead of a brick. I think it works better in the oven, actually, as the chicken fat that gets pressed out fries the skin and makes it very crispy.
Anyone tried this on a cast iron grill in the oven? I don't have an outdoor grill, thought I could try in the oven. I know it won't get the nice smoky grill flavor. Don't know what temp to set it for and approx. time.

Quarterback Raphael Ortiz scored two short rushing touchdowns while Darnell Laws' 26-yard run in the third quarter put William & Mary up 21-3. In his first start, Georgia State quarterback Ronnie Bell was intercepted four times while completing 13 of 26 passes for 157 yards. Donald Russell led the Panthers with 107 yards rushing. Bell's fumble on a sack was one of three lost by Georgia State.

They hired 25+ people in Feb 2012 and by Aug 2012 only 5 were left. They either fired people or people left the company. Some didn't even have another job lined up- they had to get out though!
Advice to Management
Improve the product! Add more social media and pay your MC more than below average starting salary in their area. SM has a bad name and not only will people buy from you but you're not even paying your MC's a good salary.

Established company. Has many customers that have been using their advertising products for over 10 consecutive years or more.
Company closes at Christmas time and doesn't open again until after New Years.
You can make decent money if you're good at up-selling your current client base that is given to you. (Decent if your single, without any major debt obligations)
Unrealistic new customer acquisition goals. They only want 1 new customer sold each week, but in the Irving office. I was one of the top 20% of new customer sales and I was not hitting that objective.
Management is old and not up with the times. They are teaching old sales tactics and other than helping their outside sales by giving them IPads to look more "sexy" that's about all the help they have done to catch up with the times.
Product fulfillment is TERRIBLE!!! This has probably got to be the worst. Whether you sell a web site, a pay per click package, or a social media package...the fulfillment makes the customer very irritated. This is because fulfillment is slow, and more often than not something is done wrong and to get their problem resolved takes at least a week if not more.
They change their compensation plan a lot. They changed it 9 times in my 4 years there. Crazy right? Most of the time it didn't really effect how much money I was making, however 1 comp plan change helped me make more money actually, but depending on how they change it would mean you have to make changes on how you're doing this. I put this as a con, because changing the way I make money so often is not a good thing.
Advice to Management
Out with the old and in with the new. I have seen young sales managers with much more impressive sales teams out perform the old timers both on inside and outside sales. Both of those young sales managers are now gone...There was a reason those young sales managers were succeeding, it's because they weren't relying on old tactics to succeed, they were always thinking outside the box and consistently looking for ways to improve. In summary - Quit keeping people around just cause they have been with the company for 20-30 years. They are not beneficial anymore nor do they have the drive and creativity of the 25-35 year olds you let go off to other companies.

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini joked this week about the priority listed at the top of his game plan for Minnesota. ''Not get behind by 14 at halftime, that's first,'' he said. The No. 16 Cornhuskers (8-2, 5-1 Big Ten) have reached this point of the season in unconventional fashion. They've come back from double-digit, second-half deficits to win four games. Because Nebraska has come out on the right side of the drama, the conference's Legends Division title is in sight. The Huskers would assure themselves of playing Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game Dec. 1 in Indianapolis with a win Saturday over Minnesota (6-4, 2-4) and another next week at Iowa. ''They understand what's at stake,'' Pelini said. ''We've got two tough games ahead of us, and we just have to stay the course. I know this: we are going to get what we earn over the next two weeks.'' Nebraska and Michigan are tied for the division lead, but the Huskers own the tiebreaker because of their win in the head-to-head meeting...

Fyi, if I open and close the tab, upon closing the "Recent Posts" text does becomes centered, the problem just seems to be once the page is first loaded.
Thanks for any help :)

SWG spoiled me, I suppose, as I now have high expectations of a roleplay community with each new game that I venture into.

Pre-cu SWG was so immersive, I always forgot I was playing a game!
I am not an RP'er at all, but in SWG that went completely naturally. That is what made the game so good and addictive ( I often got out of bed at night just to logon for a bit! ).
Since then, not one MMO has been produced that made roleplaying so easy that everyone automatically participates. I've tried dozens ... and all they do is tell me " Go here and do that ..."
But in all honesty, SWG was bad for my health ;) ... leading a guild for creature handlers chewed up all my free- and not free time.
I don't believe Roleplaying is dead ... it's only almost impossible to find a good game these days that caters for it.

Yep, I lived in a rp community on Starsider, we had several rp cantina's going on and a fairly large town. Unfortunately I was a creature master and of course was devastated by NGE. I tried to continue to play but the town became a ghost town within a month. The change was just too radical for everyone, it was no longer the great rp environment of the past.
I have been back several times, I still maintain a station account. Despite what some posters say, Starsider is dead, deader, deadest of all the servers. Trying to find anyone to play with is almost impossible and finding a crafter is even more impossible.
Maybe someday a developer will actually get off the Wow clone bandwagon and make an environment that actually attracts the rpers back.

your right that current games dont do anything to aid in roleplay.
but even with this all you have to do is try to droleplay just a bit and more often than not people will at least try to roleplay back.
your right about the themepark commercialization on most games that are all about volume and to hell with any quality.
they create games that are dumb and easy alot like a arcade game they have little if any chalange or suprise for me and I can see a future where I dont play MMOs any more.
developers seem to think that quality roleplay worlds cant be profitable, but there wrong,, a well designed world actually builds game loyalty that rarely exists today.
I would really love it if they got awayfrom the shooting gallery games or fighting arenas and created alternate universes.
some of the bigest things I look for in a new game is if food and water are important to the game world,, imagine just crossing a desert in most MMOs also I look for weather and climate blizzard cold, burning heat, rain, wind storms, after this are chaotic acts of nature,, crop blights, floods, volcanos, earthquakes, fires, ect all add to the the immersion of a universe.
I would love a game where you are droped on a world with limited supplies and know nothing about it at all, where you have to cooperate with others to build a society and learn about the new world your in, hopefully a world that is organic and not hemed in so if you see a lake you can fish in it or swim it or build a boat and cross it.
I dont mean where the game excludes grind players just have choices, and example is a garden a war monger can drop seed and water and go off adventuring and return to a default crop,, but a roleplayer can tend his crop and he will get a higher yeald for the extra work.
that is my wish.
make a world, not a game, we dont want another game.

"It puts the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again..."
I understand totally. I have always been disapointed at the lack of roleplaying in the MMOs I haave tried (SWG, pre-NGE being one of them). Sometimes you get a good group who will facilitate it, but more often than not ... nada.
I recently uninstalled my WoW from my PC for just that reason. When WoW came out I wanted to be part of the world. I love the history and lore of the world of Azeroth. The relationships between characters like Arthas & Lady Sylvanas. The history of the Orcs and their time with the Demon driven burning crusade. I wanted to be a character in that world. I wanted to play an Undead Warlock who recently broke away from the Lich-King's control and was trying to find a new existance in unlife, a noble Orc warrior trying to make a name for himself among the tribes, a Human descendant of those betrayed by Medivh, who was trying to cleanse the world of the unclean forsaken...
I'm sure you get the idea.
Instead ... I was surrunded by people discussing the mathematics of the combat modifiers in open chat, constantly challenged to duels by 12 year olds who do nothing all day but play the game and scream "Noob!" , and insult your mother when you'd rather actually READ the text of the quests your taking instead of fight their Rogue...
Again, you get the idea.
And yet, I am now trying Warhammer: Age of Reckoning. Will it be any different? ...probably not. Why do I still try? Because I have hope ... I have hope, and I'm hopelessly addicted to the MMO experience. I have literally been waiting for MMOs since I was a kid. I remember coming up with the idea for a computer based virtual/perpetual world where you could play your (at the time I was playing pen & paper games like D&D, R.I.F.T.S. and Shadowrun) character among thousands of other players. Now here it is, and I have gone through more than 20 MMOs to find my favorite one. SWG (pre-NGE, although I didn't mind the Combat Upgrade too much ... no more robotic doctor buff lines!), WoW, and EQ have come the closest. Now I'm trying W.A.R. for my fantasy fix, and I'm waiting for Stargate Worlds for my Sci-Fi fix.
I still have hope...

Jef, I take off my hate...I mean, hat. This is a great article, perhaps the best I have read concerning SWG in ages. I would play along with the roleplayers when I happed to cross their city on Tatooine (the one with the really nice cantina, what was it's name, you also did the krayt skull quest nearby). They scared the hell out of me the first time I came upon them (4 months after launch). I eventually played along only to find my toon in jail for the evening. In GC, everyone was laughing their asses off at my misfortune, we had a policy not to insult RP, and to play along when it came about.
I think that city was the first place I visit every time I go back to see what the game is like. My core guildies are strangely still there (we were a space faring guild). The RP is nowhere to be found...
Played (more than a month): SWG, Second Life, Tabula Rasa, Lineage 2, Everquest 2, EvE, MxO, Ryzom.
Tried: WoW, Shadowbane, Anarchy Online, Everquest, WWII Online, Planetside
Beta: Lotro, Tabula Rasa, WAR.

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
"Even without the abortion that was the early NGE, roleplayers tend to burn twice as bright and live half as long, as the play style is a full time job if done correctly."
A good article with only one item I disagree with, that provided above. I believe Role-Players are play on much longer than of the typical gamer. The reasons for this is that Role-Players can spend time doing something which really serves no purpose for playing the game; and example, having two RP'ers sit down at a table and begin plotting out loud; or start up a bar fight, while hurling one-lines at each other. So there is that added bit of fun.
RP'ers tend to be more loyal and passionate about the game they are involved with. They like communities and as long as the communities are there, they will stay even if the game mechanics have bugs.
However what Role-Players need that the majority of MMO's do not provide is dynamic story content by developers. Sure it is a good thing for players to provide content, but they also need the developers to provide content and to let the player have impact to the story. After all, role-playing games allow players to change the outcome of the campaign. Yet in MMO's this is not possible. SWG is an example of a static theme-park. Players cannot change the story-arc of Star Wars. Oh wait, there is the Secret Rebel Base... but it is still at the same spot that everyone knows about. So why hasn't the Emperor conducted a strike?
The technology to allow players to impact the story-arc is available, even in a massive environment. A problem I see is that a number of game developers have never played table-top RPG's... Technically growing up on C-RPG's where as long as there is level advancements, then the computer game is a RPG.
And that is why...
Conservatives' pessimism is conducive to their happiness in three ways. First, they are rarely surprised -- they are right more often than not about the course of events. Second, when they are wrong they are happy to be so. Third, because pessimistic conservatives put not their faith in princes -- government -- they accept that happiness is a function of fending for oneself. They believe that happiness is an activity -- it is inseparable from the pursuit of happiness.

I agree with Melsinda (:waves:)
I was on the same server with the same group of people for ages, and the RP community had it's ups and downs. The biggest problems I had was each "community" seemed exclusive of any other, so there were always conflicting ideas of what was going on. Would have been nice to have a server wide concensus and even maybe an overarching server "storyline"
But yes, the update to the game killed it for me as it did for many.

There are only 10 kinds of people in the world. Those that understand Binary and those that do not.
SWG has a place in my heart. It was one of my 1st mmo's, briefly trying EQ before that. Once I found out there was a Star Wars game, I was hooked, even before I had read what it was about or that it was an MMO. As a day 2 swg'er I found many days and nights of roleplay over 4years, with these highlights:
Agamemnon-NST-Kauri, loner, crafter, travelling salesman, got interested in bio-engineering field, made millions, lost it all on cheap girls in Mos Vegas, pan handled for a while in Mos Eisley when he was down on his luck. Worked his way back into the medical profession, joined the rebellion after seeing the Imperials slaughter the townspeople of Anchorhead. Became a covert operative, scouting out imperial bases and coordinating terrorist attacks against said bases during cover of night with a small special elite team of Agents. Watched an assasination happen during a wedding, wounded severely during the battle of Ruestess. Retired with full medical benefits. Opened up a Bio-engineering lab with a chef friend that had grander ideas. Took over general management operation of a strip club.
Indagadadaveeda-NST-Kauri-Crafter, part time dance enthusiast. Became a pretty busy chef, opened up a shop near anchorhead which spread to several chain stores across the known galaxy. Opened up several houses of ill-repute, with full time wait staff, illicit drug use, band gigs and nightly shows/dancers, manager of the strip joint. Arrested by Imperial Investigator for criminal activity, charges included racketeering, spice smuggling, prostitution, and illegal gambling. Completed 6months incarceration at Naboo Correctional Facility and reprocessing before returning to Tattooine to re-open a single strip joint with a few tasteful dancers....last seen being shoved into a speeder by suspected Jabba henchman.
Mordacacca-Smuggler-Chimera-Escaped trandoshan slave captivity, bummed around Mos Eisley doing odd jobs and muscle for hire. Was picked up in Mos Entha during a run in with local law enforcement, who ironically found smuggled spice in the saddlebags of his firends(borrowed) speeder. Was arrested, detained temporarily at the transfer point in Mos Eisley Imperial Detention Center. Caught a flu bug from a fellow prisoner, was transferred to Dathomir Prison only to escape during the aftermath of a Rebel Raid on the prison. Returned to Mos Eisley, accidentally helping spread an epidemic on 2 planets, and started working in the underworld circles for Lady V, had a run in with Jabba henchmen and forced to go to work for Jabba smuggling items to Talus from Tattooine for the Hutts. Had a legit front man business partner who helped fund expeditions but also sold items for him on the blackmarket.
Bilcli-Merchant-Chimera-a former jazz musician, played some small gigis in the Bestine/Anchorhead/Eisley scene. Peddled a little contraband now and then. Got clean in rehab after an overdose of spice, nearly died of an epidemic in Mos Eisley due to a low immune system from spice. Attended a funeral of a close friend that was actually interrupted by sand people. Ran away screaming like a coward. Went into collectibles and opened up a shop called "Needful Things" just outside of Mos Eisley. Hired staff and made a nice little profit selling certain "hard to come by" items on the market that we're of questionable sources.
I had countless others, 5 accounts and 8 characters per account, all but 3 leveled to max by the time I had had enough of the NGE. It was a really great game, I loved it, but it changed to much for me and after losing a guild of 478 people to just 3 online...I could no longer login and enjoy the roleplay. The new enhancements didn't help me much in that regard either, I do not like fps's which essentially that's what it became, it was far to difficult to roleplay any longer. I'm a long time roleplayer from Chainmail, to DND/ADD, Gurps, SW, Shadowrun, Traveller and Hero. I miss those days as well and especially the sci-fi ones. Now that I have an opportunity to develop a game, I give my all to get just a bit of that "ole roleplayer" mentality back into my game as we design it from the ground up. It's always in my mind.
Long live Roleplay!

Come to LotRO RPP'ers.
If you're in North America, I recommend the Landroval server (unofficial RP server). Avoid Brandywine, saw alot of the leet kids there.
The world isn't as involved as old SWG, but it's getting there. At least it has some of the world sim feel of SWG.

Nice to see there are still some roleplayers out there. When I am in game, no matter which game it is, I am in character. Perhaps my "in character" doesn't completely fit the genre of the game but I am in character. Each of my characters have their own personality. Some are witty, some grumpy, some curious and adventurous.
I have a character that is currently exploring a vast world and is very inquisitive about the things she finds and the people she meets. I sit here behind my keyboard giggling my arse off at the reactions she gets.
"I have a level 70 main." random player says.
"You have a main? Like, in your pocket or something?" I would say.
"Um, no I have a level 70 Warrior." he replies.
"You own a warrior, and he is level 70?" I said.
"Where is he?" I say while looking around.
And so on...
Anyway, I find it fun. SWG, was a great place for this type of play. Unfortunately the many changes drove me away.

I am looking forward to an MMO set in the star wars universe to role-play in.
SWG is Star Wars flavored, not Star Wars.

Awesome Shorts!
I bought these shorts right before a trip to the caribbean , looking for something light and breathable. I wore them almost the entire trip, except for when I was in the pool or on the beach. They are the most comfortable pair of shorts I have ever owned, look good for every no matter where you are whether you're chillen on the couch, hangin on the beach, or out on the the town and they really do everything said in the description. I plan on buying two more pairs of these in different colors, they are just that awesome!

Smashin' Satin #3287
A hard one to find, as are all of these Francie® doll's outfits from 1972! The pieces mixed and matched or could have been worn all together! The beautiful blue satin was accented with raspberry suedecloth. The waist-length jacket and dress had turquoise shank button detailing, as did the purse, made from matching fun fur with the suedecloth. Suedecloth trimmed hot pants, unique sheer blue pantyhose and light blue square toe shoes completed the set.

As of Monday morning nothing has been started.
There are a few more locating marks on the ground
but thats it!
Hard to believe Centralia will be on line by month's end.
For now there is the level 2 at Wendy's and a level 2 in Castle Rock
( 240/30A) and there is an automated SPEED TRAP at the school on the
south side of town.
They won't start on it until the one in Burlington is finished. Don't count on it by the end of June. More likely the end of July.
There's also a Roadster charger at the Burgerville in Centralia if you've got an adapter or are part of the adapter sharing program put together by v12 to 12v at teslamotorsclub.com.
I thought they said end of July anyway?
Goneskiian - Thanks, has anyone got intel on the contractor? They may be doing the Woodburn Oregon install as well.
I have a single charger so Burgerville won't do for me but the
Wendy's will work in a pinch.
bbryant - The word is that it is the same contractor for all three, ADK Electricians I believe.
There are threads over at teslamotorsclub.com on Burlington and Centralia...
Epley - Yes, you're right. With the 4th Holiday coming up that sounds about right. Although, folks that have talked to the crew in Burlington have said they're ahead of schedule and that the Burlington one should be functional before the 4th. Maybe they've learned something on this first install and can bang the Centralia and Woodburn ones out quicker. Here's to hoping!
Would be sweet if the Centralia one was ready for the BC2BC rally on the 29th!
Centralia was finalized by L & I today. Will most likely be announced at tomorrows Burlington ribbon cutting.
XrstalLens plugged in Wednesday (7/17) at Centralia and was there long enough to get a full charge.
Both are now on the supercharger list, although neither shows up on the map yet. That was a nice surprise that they both became official at the same time.
We're on the map now! Woohoo!
I'm still waiting for them to show on the list on my car's Places.
Others have probably already discovered this, but Burlington and Centralia do show up on Places now. I just wished they would show driving distance rather than "crow fly distance" though. If you didn't know any better you would think you could make it to Burlington on a normal 85 kW-h charge.
Touch the supercharger icon on the map, select navigate, and it will tell you the road distance from where you are.
Thanks DTsea. I'll try that tomorrow.
Crows do not usually fly in straight lines....

For me," said Pacino, "it was always the opportunity just to be able to explore the whole idea of a zealot.
Clad in black, Al Pacino tells Gina Piccalo he loved playing Jack Kevorkian because he was a "zealot."
None other than Reza Aslan, the author of the nonfiction book zealot, about Jesus of Nazareth.
c.1300, "member of a militant 1st century Jewish sect which fiercely resisted the Romans in Palestine," from Late Latin Zelotes, from Greek zelotes "one who is a zealous follower," from zeloun "to be zealous," from zelos "zeal" (see zeal).

It's Holy Thursday, and Greek restaurants up and down South Halsted Street have less than three days to roast hundreds of young spring lambs, dye thousands of eggs and simmer gallons of special Greek Easter tripe soup.
"It's a really busy day," said Yanna Liakouras, manager of The Parthenon
restaurant, which has been serving Greek Easter feasts for nearly four
decades. Orthodox Easter falls on April 8 this year, with preparations
beginning the Thursday before.
The Greek Easter feast, featuring a lemony tripe soup (called mageritsa)
made from innards, spit-roasted lamb and red eggs, marks the end of fasting on
Easter Sunday. It's a huge day for Greek restaurants, which serve the meal to
thousands of Greeks and non-Greeks alike on both Saturday and Sunday. It's
such a busy weekend, diners should prepare by making reservations.
The preparations are many. Part of Holy Thursday is spent dyeing eggs red,
Liakouras said. The deep red color represents the blood of Christ, she said,
while the egg represents life. Crates and crates of eggs piled high will need
to be dyed to have enough to set on restaurant tables this weekend.
"We have these big humongous pots on the stove boiling away with the red
dye," she said.
While the eggs are rolling around in the dye on the stove, cooks will begin
preparing the mageritsa, a traditional Easter soup often made in the United
States with tripe, liver and greens, Liakouras said. In Greece, the soup
typically is made with intestines.
Thursday is when cooks wash the greens and clean the tripe, she said. The
rest of the soup will be finished Saturday.
As will the roasted young spring lamb, the centerpiece of most Greek Easter
meals, she said.
On Saturday, the baby lambs from Colorado -- each 18 to 22 pounds -- are
cleaned, washed and filled with salt, pepper and Greek oregano before being
impaled on a spit, rubbed with seasoned olive oil and roasted for 2 1/2 hours
each, she said.
"Crunchy skin and nice, soft meat," she said. "Baby lambs are fatty. That's
what makes them delicious."
By Saturday evening, non-Greeks will be filling the restaurant to enjoy the
mageritsa and lamb, she said.
But it's not until after midnight mass that the Greeks arrive, streaming
onto the streets of Greektown until the early morning hours of Easter Sunday,
many carrying candles from church still lit with the flame passed around
during mass.
On that night, most families will have eaten and left by 2:30 a.m. It's not
a mob scene, she said.
"We get our fair share," she said. "It's not like the old days. Not that
many people eat after midnight mass."
"Sunday is the big day," she said. Families begin showing up around 1 p.m.,
she said, filling every seat in the nearly 500-capacity restaurant until about
7 p.m.
And all through the day, families will arrive with giant pots in which to
carry mageritsa back home. Others will come for cooked spring lambs for their
own home feasts. Liakouras said one customer ordered nine young spring lambs
for pick up Sunday morning.
The bustle of Easter Sunday brings back memories for Liakouras, who gets a
dreamy look in her eyes when asked what her mother served her to break the
Easter fast when she was young.
"Fried baby lamb chops and fried eggs," she said. "Doesn't that sound

30 year old man | Cicero, IN, USA | Seeking women 24-32 within 20 miles
Wanting to make a friendly and long lasting connection!
I am a family man first and foremost and my kids are everything to me. I enjoy meeting new people whether in a job or by friends' introduction. I am a reserved and a little bit shy of an individual for the most part and happily will listen to someone else talk about their life then talk about my own. I am looking for somebody that I can have a good time with and talk about anything. I am looking for a woman whom I can become good friends with and of course also be that special someone.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Other types of exercise, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Horses, Other
I will say that I am a cat person above all else. Although I don't mind and have been known to befriend all kinds.
Middle of the Road
My favorite places I like to go are to my friends' homes to hang out, have bonfires and small parties. I also enjoy just going for walks in "serene" locales, i.e: parks, nature paths etc.
I enjoy most music although have no real preference. I enjoy lots of tv shows, most of which comedy and or drama lol. Love most kinds of food and will try most others at least once.
Spending time with my two kids when I can usually by going to the zoo, or some other location like a park. When i'm not with my kids I enjoy hanging out with my friends watching some movies and going out to eat.
It is unfortunate to say that the last book that I read was a fantasy novel by Terry Brooks, The High Druid of Shannara. It has been some time since I have found a book that I could sit down and really get into.

Triple HPaul Michael Levesque
- Birthdate: 07/27/1969 (age 45)
- Height: 6'4"
- Weight: 255 Ib
Hunter Hearst Helmsley is an American business ...
Those that are close to Triple H have stated that as he gains more power within WWE, that they expect more effort put into tag team wrestling, and less put into the Divas wrestling.
Triple H has been said to never be very high on women's wrestling, but feels that a solid tag team division is very valuable. While WWE has added female talent to developmental, the feeling is that Triple H will focus on having a few solid workers in the Divas division and keeping the attention on them.
Furthermore, it is said that the days of signing female talents from modeling agencies and magazines are said to be gone. This is something that took place under the reign of John Laurinaitis in charge of talent relations. Triple H wants to more as far away from that way of doing business as possible.

New Year's Eve DIY: Resolution Party Horns.
Here's the thing — those glitzy crowns and party horns that we all buy for New Year's — they're super corny, but so very necessary. I like the annual challenge of finding new ways to update these simple party-store finds into something a little bit more special. Last year I used glitter letter stickers to write out messages on simple paper party horns — and this year I took the same concept and revamped it. With some metallic Sharpie markers and a little bit of patience I carefully hand-wrote silly New Year's resolutions on a set of big party horns. I plan to pop them all in a vase for some table-decor, and let my guests pick a resolution that matches their personality (and sense of humor!).
Gold foil polka dots.
With all of my recent wedding planning tasks, I nearly let the opportunity to do some decorating for the rehearsal dinner slip through my fingers. Until of course, I stumbled upon these pink, red, and orange napkins with metallic foil polka dots and decided they were begging for a spot at the dinner. And the kicker? They're on sale, a set of 4 for $5. You can get them here, and you'd be crazy not to.
The perfect pair.
Be still my polka-dot loving, metallic obsessed heart; could these two be a more perfect pair? A little tiered hem and a peter pan neckline make this Modcloth top absolute perfection; and the Caitlin Wilson pillow exudes the same level of cuteness in home decor form. One of each please!
Sprucing things up.
I spruced up our bedroom recently with a few new accessories that were under the Christmas tree! We have slanted ceilings in our bedroom which can make decorating a challenge — but my parents gifted me the perfect little gold starburst mirror that fits perfectly in the in the spot above our bed that I've been trying to fill for a year and a half. And I added a new Dwell Studio citrine zebra pillow that has been on my wishlist forever; it's the perfect pop of color against the poppyseed walls!
New Year's Eve Tinsel Trees.
A poor selection of flowers at my local Trader Joes this week inspired me to whip up a sparkly centerpiece for our annual New Year's Eve party. I hit the Christmas sale section at the craft store and gathered up some tinsel garland and metallic tissue papers. With a hot glue gun in hand I wrapped some tinsel garlands around foam cones to create two tree-like pieces. With the silver and gold mylar tissue paper I layered strips of hand-cut fringe around the third cone. I topped all three with sparkly drink stirrers that I also found in the Christmas clearance bin at Target to finish them off!
And of course I couldn't pass up all of that discounted tinsel, so I used the extra pieces to outline some cardboard cut-outs of 2013 and strung them up on the wall — it'll be a perfect backdrop for some festive photo-ops!
5 Under $50: Winter Classics
I'm overdue for an installment of 5 under $50 — and this week I have a bit of a mish-mosh of items, but they all have one thing in common: they're classics! (Oh and they're nice on the wallet too!) How about those bow heels and the blazer with metallic threads? I want both to wear to holiday parties!
Fairisle mittens ($15), metallic accent blazer ($31), moss stitch hat ($28), leopard cuff bracelet ($38), patent nude bow heel ($32)
Shindig inspiration.
I know that this is a major faux-paus, but while everyone is excited about decorating their tree, my mind zooms straight past Christmas and to my favorite holiday: New Years Eve. While my annual New Year's shindig may be a month away, I already have my wheels turning gathering inspiration for some fun little touches. Tinsel and drink toppers are on the DIY to-do-list, and I'm seriously eyeing those numbered rocks glasses — aren't they cute?

Macarons & Tinsel.
The snow started falling in Boston on Saturday and it made me feel like the holidays were officially here. I snagged some really cute metallic wrapping paper and tinsel bows while I was out shopping — I can't wait to start wrapping presents with these. And Sunday I found the holy grail at Trader Joes: Peppermint Mocha macarons in a bright shocking pink — this box was just a 'test' to make sure they lived up to expectations for some holiday entertaining — and they certainly did!
Holiday Gift Guide: Good as Gold
Have you started your holiday shopping? I'm kicking off a series of gift guides today organized in my very favorite way: by color! First up, a little bit of sparkle with gifts as good as gold.

Handmade Holidays: Glitter Hangers
Next up in the Handmade Holidays series is a set of glitter coated hangers, the perfect gift for a stylish friend!
In my opinion, you can't go wrong when you coat something in glitter — am I right? I started this project with inexpensive wooden hangers, and painted them with a layer of mod podge. Quickly, before the glue dries, sprinkle glitter until you coat the wood. After this layer dries, go back over with another layer of mod podge to coat the hangers and seal in the glitter — you might need more than one coat depending on the thickness of your application. And there you have it, some sparkly gifts for your favorite clothes horse! (I love these so much that I might save one to hang my wedding dress on this Spring!)
