Spawn creator Todd McFarlane has partnered with AngryFilms to develop a half-hour anthology series for the Fox network, called Twisted Tales. Fox TV Studios' alternative division is producing in association with Todd McFarlane Entertainment and Angry Films (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
McFarlane, TME president Terry Fitzgerald, Rick Benattar, Susan Montford and Don Murphy will executive produce.
Episodes will focus on tales of horror, fantasy or sci-fi and McFarlane himself will serve as host of the show, introducing each episode from a basement environment.
"There is nothing on television that is scary or creepy enough for me, week in and week out," McFarlane said. "It is my hope to be able to deliver a series that will keep the audience consistently off-balance and frightened."
Focusing on just one story per episode will allow for more chills-per-minute.
"Other series went to the easier fit idea of multiple stories in an hour, and inevitably one of the stories was bad," Murphy said. "Here it's one story, one episode, bang -- we gotcha."
In addition to creating the original comic book Spawn, McFarlane worked on a feature and an animated HBO series based on the franchise.

I mean THIS IS A BIG DEAL! Do you know HOW LONG elder scroll fans have been waiting to play a multiplayer version of our beloved game? Now instead of getting that, we're being handed a generic piece of crap by a group of developers/publishers/investors who think they know best. They are turning their back on the source material because they want to play it safe but imo that is more risky than making an original product.
It was the same thing with SWTOR. They shouldn't have make an MMO but a multiplayer version of KOTOR. They wouldn't have been held to retarded expectations or compromise the intergity of their product to satisfy what they think the players want. Now they are doing it to ESO, torn between an originality and conformity.
It's doomed to fail but not because of races restricted to factions, it's going to fail because it's a MMO. The popular formula that players are hard locked into limit this genre. These triple A publishers wouldn't dare deviate too far from the WoW standard. They keep pitching these 'new and innovative' ideas but at it's core it's the same thing reskinned.
People say that developers can't get too original with MMOs but who says that about other game genres. They've been allowed to grow in all sorts of directions but the MMO is still stuck on raids, gear and formality. The MMO market is stale and it will be many years before it finally starts growing again.
I hate the fact that this was Elder Scrolls chance for something amazing, the moment all the fans have been waiting for and it was wasted on this rubbish.

Lore questions are outright dumb in a question and answer session. I mean come on, I can make up lore on the fly too and it is just about as meaningless as these anwers.
Question and answer session should be about game play, not made up on the fly lore.
If you want someone to get interested in your game, lore is probably not going to do it. You have to wonder about the decision to put such on a website as a question and answer session. Makes you wonder about the game if they think this is important, especially since there is already tons of lore out there for readers perusal if they so desire.

Let me stop you right there, no it does not make sense lore-wise. They fed you crap from their writing department to alter the lore for it to make sense. In original lore none of this makes sense. Races that were friends are now enemies, races who do not get along are now allied and races that are loners are now jumping at the oppertunity to join others... they changed the lore to accomidate this 3 faction malformation.
The game should have never been focused around the war. Have a war in the background and leave the factions in assigned areas but you should have to choose a faction to join and fight for (in order to particapate in PvP). Make a questline to join a faction, make it hard for outside races to join a different faction, ignore the war completely and just explore the world even if you are mistrusted or treated as a hostile by NPCs in other territories... TES core concept is about freedom and this game does not give it to you.
Yes, I know it's an MMO and people are expecting certian things. I know it's easier to copy what other MMOs have done instead of creating new mechanics BUT that's the designer's job. It is completely possible to design a game in such a way that it would be closer to elder scrolls and have a persistant online world.

It's a catch 22 with game development these days. I can assure you these Devs have a design document written in stone and heavily planned. The hard part is they have a previous franchise looming over them that demands they make it like a true elder scrolls RPG.
I wish them the best, but don't envy the task ahead with a generation who demands change, but becomes upset if that change doesn't include near a decade of Wows content.

Those factions never would have worked, due to geographical restrictions. Maybe Breton's, Redguard, and Nord, but even that would have been an awkward fit due to having Orcs right in the middle.
High Elves and Wood Elves are at least corner of the world, but Dark Elves are in the opposite corner.
Argonian, Khajit, and Orcs don't share even a single border between any of them, not to mention their cultures are all completely different.
It sounds kind of like you have no real grasp of Elder Scrolls lore, which is fine. Your suggestion just makes no real sense as a result.

Did the 3 factions have different races what were widely know for over 10 years through TES lore? which have different appearences and attributes? DAOC was no where near 1% the world TES is, so dont even go there.
The fact this game is 90% PVE with 10% PVP endgame like GW2, doe snot justify the racial/faction restrictions, in a mainly pve game i want to play who what and where i like, this aint fking wow or DAOC lore but they just had to make a wow clone faction system, which is wrong in the firs tplace for this game, i know in 20 years lets make the British Alqaeda and Taliban allies, dont make fu sense but im sure a politition can make some lore ofr it.
Originally posted by asmkm22
Just because the developers want this to be DAoC 2 doesn't mean they are right. Elder Scrolls series is considered one of the best rpg games ever, they don't need DAoC's systems to boost their validity.
Daoc had a huge world, easily as big as tamriel.
It also had ace lore, with the factions bound to Celtic, Viking and Arthurian mythology respectively.
So don't even go there ;)
I would have preferred if you joined one of 3 factions like in Morrowind, but there's nothing wrong with them picking RVR as the pvp model, as tes single player games DON'T HAVE PVP AT ALL! So they had to pick one pvp model.
So the choices were
1 ffa guild based pvp like eve and darkfall which I like, but would scare away all the pure pve types.
2 wow style instanced away minigames. I.e. pointless shite
Or 3 rvr with pvp and pve flagged areas of the world.
I think they made the right choice considering the budget / risk of the game. But like I said would prefer if you joined one of 3 imperial houses like the dark elf houses in Morrowind.
Also Adam, what makes you think its a 90% pve game? Where have the devs said this.
I think considering the devs worked on daoc and uo before, this is unlikely to be a wow style raiders first everyone else second game. I mean they've talked a lot more about endgame pvp than they have pve.
Originally posted by ShakyMo
because the zone in the middle is pvp? and the rest of the game world is pve and they are tsalkign constantly about pve pve pve public pve dungeons pve exploration pve mobs pve dynamics, are you retarded? this is mainly a pve game jsut like gw2, people will do pvp mainly endgame, dont be some pvp fanboy thinking one of the worlds best rpg games is goign to be mainly pvp.
I don't consider gw2 a mainly pve game.
Mainly pve games - wow, swtor, tsw, eq
Mainly pvp games - planetside, darkfall
Games with a nice balance of the 2 - eve, daoc, gw2 and probably TESO.
Let's take your "tiny pvp area" its the entire size of oblivion, its the whole province of cyrodil.
Now say you are a nord. You get the whole of skyrim and vardenfell for pve and the whole of cyrodil for pvp. So 2/3rds of your world is pve, 1/3rd pvp. But... quite a bot of that pve area will be leveling content, let's say for argument 50% of it, so at endgame half your relevant world is pve the other pvp.
The fact that they haven't gone with token tacked on mini game bullshit. The fact that being the best at pvp leads to the ultimate reward, getting crowned as emperor. The fact that they keep talking up this faction war despite all the howls of protest. the fact that all the lead devs are fans of and cone from games with a strong emphasis on pvp. All this points to your 90% pve "fact" being a whole load of bullshit made up on the spot.

I like how you say GW2 is mainly a PVE game, yet most people PVP ont he game, hence WVWVW and the structured PVP, guild wars is all about PVP even int he first game. GW2 has a lot of pve content to play though how you see it is opinion. Just because TESO has a end game pvp zone where you can become the emperor dont make it the main means of the game, why would they turn a pure PVE IP into a mainly PVP IP? when what we wanted for years and years is TES multiplayer?So TESO will be mainly a pve game with endgame pvp, but as myself am mainly a pvper, just like gw2 when they hyped WvWvW as the most epic thing ever and it turned out to be a fraking boring ass zerg fest of 100 peopel running around the map kiling groups of 10 people and caping a castle.

I agree that details about gameplay would be more interesting than lore questions. However, many of the people griping seem to be concerned with lore, so maybe the devs are trying to placate them.
As for complaining that you can't play any race and do whatever you want to with regards to joining different factions, etc...I think people are being ridiculous. The whole setup is to allow the end-game content to be RVR...much like DAOC. Allowing everyone to do whatever they wanted would essentially destroy the whole plan for the end game. The same folks saying they know better than the devs about how to guide gameplay would be the ones complaining that there isn't anything to do once they reaced level cap if they got their way.
From what I can tell, this is headed towards being an RVR game with a TES flavor. If that's not your thing, then perhaps this game won't be for you. If you want to play TES single player or co-op, the good news is that a new TES game is being worked on.

I still dont see why we cant pick a race and e.g. get to lv 10 and thean pick a faction to fight for in pvp, not only does it mean me and friends cant play together because i dont liek the races they play and they dont like the races i play but it means its going to be more boring exploring the worls as we will always see the same 3 races.
We NEED to be able to pick race and then perma pick faction, theres no excluse fo rit and its easier lore wise to make it fit and allows people to play the race they want, imagine for a moment how man people will be forced to play the race they dont want to just to play with friends? do you think that is fair at all?

I've been a big fan since Daggerfall, and I love the lore. I just think you are making a bigger deal out of this than it needs to be. You act like they somehow changed everything about the races, and reconned TES history to support it.
They really didn't though. A lot of the ES races have always had a pretty vague history aside from the Imperials. Khajit and Argonians get filled out a little more each game, usually through the books lying around the games, but that's it.
What's funny is that the one major lore question they've raised/dodged that I never see anyone complain about, has to do with the Orcs. Orcs were basically considered monster living in caves during the time ESO takes place, so they probably shouldn't even be a player race anyway. They didn't have their first city for a good 1000 years after ESO, if I remember correctly.
Aside from that, the rest makes sense. At least enough for the time the game is set in. Still, people get frothing at the mouth over this stuff.

And just because you disagree with them, doesn't mean you are right. Personally, I prefer to have restricted factions because it creates identity. Who you fight for doesn't mean a whole lot when you can just change sides with a questline. What race your character is doesn't mean a whole lot when you can just choose whatever faction you want. If you strip it down too much, the factions become meaningless. Look at TSW and see how meaningful factions really are when there's no reason to choose one over the other. Imagine WoW, where players can change factions and keep their race, and imagine how much less meaning it would have to be Horde or Alliance. Look at GW2 and tell me with a straight face that the game is has more depth and complexity due to making racial factions irrelevent beyond character looks.

Interesting pick = dumbass pick, GM will be fired at end of next season
high motor, coach on the field, great work ethic, and gym rat = unathletic white player. As soon as I saw Tank Carder get picked, I said watch them call him a coach on the field. 10 seconds later Mayock calls him a coach on the field type guy.
tweener = not good enough at any position to have been drafted...so we're saying we picked him up as a vital cog for our special teams
"A project"=a player who might make a Canadian Football League roster
A knockout special teams player = a guy who can run fast in a straight line but can't do $#@! else.
Can do a little bit of everything = Not very good at any one thing
High motor is the most $#@!ing annoying new term ever. It's worse than the NBA's "wingspan".
So-called experts start using "high motor" as a crutch from the 3rd round on because they don't know $#@!all about the actual player.
And with their fourth round pick, The Cowboys... = massive reach coming your way
Overachieved- I was wrong about this guy, but I'm not going to admit it.

Donna lets Bill know how she feels, Brooke confronts Donna about what she heard, and the Hope For The Future fashion show is held.
At home, Brooke tells Bill that Eric felt it would be too much of a distraction for her to attend Hope's fashion show at Forrester. Donna enters the house and surprises them. Brooke explains that Eric didn't think it was a good idea for her to go to the fashion show. Brooke steps out and Donna asks Bill if he knows what he's doing. Bill says he's moving on with his life. Donna muses that she loves both her sisters, but Katie belongs with him and Brooke will never change. Brooke listens as Donna goes on telling him to think about Katie and his son before he does anything. Bill leaves. Brooke reappears and tells Donna she heard every word. She insists that she and Bill fought for Katie's marriage, but this isn't a casual fling now. They're in love and making plans. She shows her the engagement ring.
Eric and Pam greet Thea Andrews behind-the-scenes at the fashion show. Caroline introduces herself and promises the show will be dazzling. Nearby, Quinn tells Liam about the power of the diamond. Liam informs her and Wyatt that it sounds as delusional as Wyatt's quest to get Hope from him. Wyatt grimaces as Liam walks over and kisses Hope. They all gather with Thea and Jarrett to answer a few questions about HTFT and Quinn Artisan jewelry. Rick appears, carrying the diamond, and makes a speech about giving the audience what they've come to expect from Forrester. Wyatt and Hope share a moment and a hug before the show starts and Rick introduces Hope. She steps onto the runway and speaks about what the line represents, giving a nod to Caroline as the designer. Hope joins Liam in the crowd and a model in a teal green gown struts out. Everyone monitors the audience reaction carefully. Hope locks eyes with Wyatt before snapping her attention back to Liam. Rick and Caroline exchange smiles. Eventually, Hope makes her way backstage to dress in the showstopper. Wyatt is there to put on her diamond necklace. "Rock n' Roll, Hopie." Quinn tells him not to give up on her. He heads out front as Rick introduces the showstopper and the Hope For The Future diamond. Hope appears in a cobalt blue strapless evening gown with the diamond around her neck. Everyone applauds wildly. Backstage, Quinn hears a sound and picks up a tablet. She sees the video montage Liam made of him and Steffy.

I'm trying to get a measurement for the hole on the LH side of the receiver for the camming piece (aka trunion). I'm doing mine up via Pirate's build method, and before I screw something up, I'd like to get a 2nd opinion.
What I'm unsure about, is how tight the camming piece fits into the hole, or if the hole has enough front-to-back play to give the camming piece some wiggle room. Therefore I'd like to simply get a measurement of that hole's front-to-back dimension.
I'm working from an Angola 3-cut receiver, the middle cut is directly through the hole.
On the RH side, the barrel removal door is said to "lock down against the camming piece"... on mine, I cannot see a wear mark on the camming piece and the end of the door isn't worn. That leads me to conclude that there is a slight amount of clearance, about as thick as a business card, between the door and the front of the camming piece - is this correct?
I'm posting here since I figure I'll get a faster response than the MG42.us forum
FYI, Pirate's build info is really helpful. I'm documenting mine to have some pics for the 'ol album.

Passover (Pesach) 101
We Also Recommend
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is one of the three major pilgrimage festivals of ancient Israel. Originally a combination of a couple of different spring festivals, it is a commemoration of the Exodus from Egypt–especially the night when God "passed over" the houses of the Israelites during the tenth plague–and of the following day, when the Israelites had to leave Egypt hurriedly. Centered on the family or communal celebration of the seder (ritual meal), Passover is one of the most beloved of all Jewish holidays.
The origins of Passover lie in pre-Israelite spring celebrations of the first grain harvest and the births of the first lambs of the season. Within a Jewish context, however, it celebrates God's great redemptive act at the time of the Exodus, leading the Israelites out from slavery in Egypt to freedom. Together with Shavuot (the Festival of Weeks) and Sukkot (The Festival of Booths), Pesach is one of the ancient Israelite pilgrimage festivals, during which adult males journeyed to the Temple in Jerusalem to offer sacrifices and bask in the divine presence. Since the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE, the focus of Pesach celebration shifted to the ritual meal, called the seder, that takes place either in the home or in the community.
At Home
In anticipation of Pesach, it is traditional to engage in a thorough spring cleaning. During the holiday, Jews' food reflects the major theme of Passover, reliving God's great redemptive act, albeit in a vicarious manner. Because the Israelites had no time to let their bread rise, Jewish law forbids eating (or even possessing) any food that can contain leaven.Therefore, a major part of the preparations for Pesach consists of removing all traces of leavened foods from the home and replacing them with unleavened foods (though many Jews prefer to "sell" their unused leaven products to a non-Jew for the duration of the holiday). This necessitates both a massive cleanup and the replacement of one's ordinary dishes with special Pesach ones. It also requires a shopping expedition to stock the kitchen with special Passover-kosher foods.

by Mark Krug, NJCAA Assistant Executive Director
NOTE: As part of the ongoing celebration of its 75th Anniversary, the national headquarters of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) will release nine insightful articles during the 2012-13 academic year that will make up the NJCAA 75th Anniversary Feature Series. Below is the sixth in the series, which can also be found in the February issue of NJCAA Review.
Each month during the collegiate sports calendar multiple glossy pieces of paper are printed, saddle-stitched and then shipped to the campuses of over 520 member colleges of the NJCAA. It is the end product of a month's work at the organization's headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo., entitled, NJCAA Review.
The title gives its contents away. There is no hidden agenda or tease. The publication aims to report on and highlight the accomplishments of the organization's member colleges and student-athletes. Now in its 64th year of continuous operation, the publication has been and continues to be the heartbeat of the NJCAA. As eras of the association have come and gone, and advancements in technology and communication have shifted, the official publication of the NJCAA has been steadfast in providing its membership a vital product.
The origins of the NJCAA's official publication can be traced back to its defining era. After the NJCAA emerged following World War II, leaders within the NJCAA recognized the need for publicizing the activities of the association. Stephen Glover of Rochester Business Institute (N.Y.) was tabbed by NJCAA President E.P. Coleman to produce a monthly bulletin that highlighted the activities of the association. In September 1948 the first issue of NJCAA Monthly News Bulletin was distributed. However, by March of 1949 the bulletin ceased and Glover resigned from his post at both RBI and the NJCAA.
Newly elected NJCAA President Reed K. Swenson appointed Mike Mason of Compton College (Calif.) as the organization's public relations director in May of 1949. Mason immediately volunteered to revive the NJCAA's efforts for a monthly bulletin, which was to be mimeographed and mailed to the president and athletic director at each member college, beginning in September of 1949 with the name N.J.C.A.A. Bulletin.
While producing what would end up being the first volume of the organization's official publication, Mason researched whether a full-scale magazine was needed. He concluded that N.J.C.A.A. Bulletin would suffice the organization's goal to having a vehicle for the exchange of ideas as well as promote its activities. Thus, an elaborate magazine was unnecessary. However, by the end of the 1950's the bulletin he started matured into a full-fledged magazine.
Throughout the 1950's the bulletin was devoted to presenting information on national and regional legislation and activities, outstanding athletic achievements and philosophical positions of the NJCAA in relation to various issues affecting its member colleges.
In the fall of 1954 the publication appeared for the first time as The JUCO Review under the dutiful guidance of Laurence J. Burton of Weber College (Utah). No documentation exists as to why the title was changed but the content and scope of the publication did not, with the exception of the cover. Writing and content improved, but the format did not. Pages were filled with just text and little flair.
Burton changed this in the fall of 1959 when the publication finally looked and read like a true magazine. Formatting changes, including multiple column texts and large print headlines, gave the publication a professional image. Burton also went to great lengths to include pictures, which was very difficult during that era. A significant improvement beginning with the September '59 issue was an impressive photo of an athletic facility from a member college's campus featured on the cover. In addition, inside several pages highlighted the member college featured on the cover. This concept soon evolved into the 'College of the Month' feature that is still an essential piece of the magazine today and is set to return in the fall of 2013.
Just as soon as the publication matured into an impressive magazine, plans were made to scale it back. During the 1950's, as well as 1960-61, The JUCO Review was published 10 times per academic year. Beginning in September of 1961plans called for the magazine to be published just four times. This action stemmed from an agreement with a new, upstart publication entitled, Junior College Sports based out of Grand Junction, Colo.
Junior College Sports was to be a newspaper-style publication and was to feature comprehensive reporting of news pertaining to athletic competitions and accomplishments within the NJCAA ranks. Working in harmony with the Grand Junction publication, The JUCO Review was to focus on NJCAA policy matters, legislative initiatives and calendar announcements.
Before the media strategy was implemented, Joseph Much, editor of Junior College Sports, sent a letter to President Swenson in August of 1961 stating that financial problems caused him to shut his publication down. Burton was forced to quickly alter his plans for the 1961-62 academic year and publish The JUCO Review under its previous format.
Assisting Burton as Associate Editor of The JUCO Review, George E. Killian was not disappointed when the partnership with Junior College Sports collapsed.
"I didn't have an interest in that," recalled Killian. "I knew it would take away from the valuable piece that we were doing for the membership. Our people never jumped on board with that publication (Junior College Sports) because our schools were asked to purchase it; meanwhile we were providing The JUCO Review for free."
Burton continued as the editor of The JUCO Review until he resigned his post in 1962 to pursue public office in Utah. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives as the Representative from Utah's first congressional district, taking office in January 1963. He was reelected three times before an unsuccessful bid for the US Senate in 1970.
"I have put a lot of blood, tears, toil and sweat into filling 24 pages of copy for the magazine every month for years," said Burton in the pages of the spring 1962 issue. "I have enjoyed it. But no one knows better than me that it's time for new ideas and new leadership."
New NJCAA President Gerald Allard of Farmingdale Agriculture & Technical College (N.Y.) tabbed Killian as the publication's new editor.
"In those days there were guys that volunteered their time to do this kind of thing," said Killian. "Gerry (Allard) saw that I had an interest in the magazine and trusted me with it."
Killian was then elected President of the NJCAA in 1967 and the duties of the magazine were briefly entrusted to Donald Schmidt of Hudson Valley Community College (N.Y.). However, when Killian was asked to become the organization's first Executive Director in 1969, duties of The JUCO Review were in question.
"People back then were leery of giving one person too much authority," Killian stated. "But putting the magazine together was tough and by that time it was getting too difficult for a volunteer to do on their own."
On top of his many duties as Executive Director, Killian was the Editor of The JUCO Review from 1969-2004. Over the course of 35 years, he was devoted to making sure the publication stayed true to its roots while also improving its content. Regional activities, national legislation, outstanding athletic achievements, in-service training, and philosophical positions of the NJCAA as well as updates on its partnerships with other athletic organizations were the bedrock of the publication. In addition, Killian made sure The JUCO Review continued to serve as a free exchange of ideas, especially for coaches. For much of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, the publication featured articles submitted by head coaches of NJCAA member colleges.
As many coaches served as faculty members on their campuses during this time, Killian explained how important this opportunity was for them. "Everybody in my day that was a coach was also in a faculty position. There were no coaching-only jobs. Any coach or any person that was involved with athletics was a faculty member. You needed to be published to get tenure. If you wanted to put yourself in the good graces of your president you needed to be published."
"Football coaches especially took advantage of this," Killian explained with a grin. "They would run around their campuses yelling at faculty members saying, 'I'm published!' I always got a laugh out of that. Yet, at the same time this was very important for these coaches to keep their positions."
The magazine went through several changes during Killian's reign as lead editor. When the association's women's division came into existence in 1976, pressure mounted as to what sports would get more attention in the organization's coveted publication.
"I was always juggling the publicity of men's sports and women's sports," he explained. "If you took a full page to highlight football then you needed to do the same for a women's sport. I understood that. However, there were football coaches that obviously didn't! I was always juggling that issue each and every year."
Looking back on his work with the magazine Killian believes his top objective was to convey professionalism for the association. "Everything I did, or we did, was for one purpose only – to gain respect. Junior colleges had the worst reputation of any organization that I have ever had anything to do with. Our junior college representatives would have fights with four-year colleges all the time. We were always fighting these perceptions."
"I enjoyed working on anything that highlighted student-athletes as well as the 'College of the Month'," said Tagliareni. "Being able to showcase the hard work of the student-athletes, from national championship wrap-ups to those giving back to society, was a great feeling. It was exciting to work with a different college each month, giving them a national spotlight to showcase their institution."
Tagliareni served as editor from 2004-08 and is now the Assistant Athletic Director at AIB College of Business (Iowa) of the NAIA. Following Tagliareni's departure, the magazine emerged in September 2008 as NJCAA Review, along with significant graphic design improvements. The title change was an ode to the publication's previous N.J.C.A.A. Bulletin name and merger with its long-standing 'Review' tagline.
"The time felt right for the change," said NJCAA Executive Director Mary Ellen Leicht. "Our goal over the past five years with the publication has been to keep it relevant, modern and something the membership can be proud of. The magazine is one of the most important things we have as an association. It can make a great first-impression to a potential student-athlete, coach, administrator or president of a two-year college looking to start an athletic program."
Throughout its history, the NJCAA has attempted to use its official publication to showcase the very best of its organization. It is the one item that gives the best snapshot and purpose of the NJCAA that one can hold in their hand. It's a tangible, living product that serves as a public relations initiative, membership communication tool and historical archive.
"It is a fantastic part of who we are," said Leicht. "The NJCAA Review will always be a part of the strategic plan of this association as it was intended some 64 years ago. I wonder what the originators would say if they could see how far their concept for a NJCAA magazine has come."
"I loved the magazine. I loved working on it. From the beginning, I was always costconscious. In my day to print a full-color magazine would have been an enormous expense. Today it is not. The more I read it today, the better I like it. Yet, what is most important is that the membership likes it and uses it." — George E. Killian
"I think the magazine represents the best of the NJCAA, both current and historically. It is a strategic communication tool, highlighting the many positives of the NJCAA. With a membership as geographically large as the NJCAA, it's an excellent way to give a national snapshot of the organization. My goal was to update the look of the magazine and its contents. I wanted to make it a more eye-catching piece that would benefit both the membership and the sponsors/advertisers."
— Amy Tagliareni
"Being the current curator of the association's magazine is something I take seriously. It is an honor to be tasked with the responsibility of producing a product that represents the NJCAA in such a formal and public way. Like Laurence Burton said back in 1962, there is a lot of blood, sweat, toil and tears put into this publication, but it is something I love doing and will continue to do with great passion." — Mark Krug

How to win a Grapple easily!
Im not really sure if this is supposed to be a joke or not, but this website is full of articles like this. It looks like the warnings part was written by someone else. This article will get you beaten very badly in a real fight.
Laughing out loud!
How to Win a Grapple Easily
If you do end up having to defend yourself in a fight (or in a wrestling match), grappling is a good way of getting your opponent into a vulnerable position on the ground. Follow these steps and you'll have a better chance of coming out on top.
1. If the person is bigger than you, use a kind of rugby tackle to take him. Don't try to use headlocks or armlocks unless you are familiar with them. Aim to pull your opponent's legs away from him. If he doesn't have legs to stand on, he can't stand, can he?
2. Once you have your opponent on the ground (assuming you are on your feet), either run or kick him in the upper body and chest.
3. If you have fallen to the ground on top of the opponent, and you don't want to risk trying to get up, put your full body weight on your opponent's shoulders. This makes it harder for him to get to his feet. If you are on hard ground such as concrete or wood, hit his head back into it -- not too hard though, as there is a risk of death.
If you are fighting more than one opponent, pick one and concentrate on him first, then pick another and so on.
If you happen to find yourself on the ground during a fight, cover your head with your hands and kick out with your feet until you get an opportunity to get to your feet
Don't fight unless you have to.
This article will get you beaten very badly in a real fight. If you place all of your weight on the opponent's shoulders, it will be easy for them to roll you over them because your weight is not equally distributed.
Also note that trying to take a slightly experienced wrestler or grappler to the ground in the manner described by the author will result in them gaining control of the situation and putting you in a very vulnerable position.
Taking a wrestler or grappler, with minimal experience, to the ground in a fight is probably the worst move you could attempt to make. If you're not more experienced than your opponent on the ground, don't attempt to take them there. For that matter, just walk away if possible.Mauro: Coming into the ring now is Giant Silva. 7 foot 2, 385 lbs, making his debut in Pride.

"If you are fighting more than one opponent, pick one and concentrate on him first, then pick another and so on."
Yes, they'll just stand around waiting for the rugby tackle. Speaking of which, how many rugby tackles allow you to stay on your feet?

Fat people disgust me in every way imaginable. I was at Freindly's with my girl tonight and saw a bunch of fat fuckers. I felt sorry for the pavement they were killing and the people who had to see them. .

Arizona Cardinals
Analyzing what gives Cardinals 'the best chance to win'
As I watched (mostly through my fingers) the Arizona Cardinals lose their eighth straight game -- this one a 7-6 offensive debacle at the hands of the woeful New York Jets, a certain phrase kept rattling through my head.
It was something about playing the quarterback who gives the Cardinals the best chance to win.
The reason why it was rattling around the noggin is because over the last three football seasons, I've seemingly heard it a million times. Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt has repeated it ad nauseum since Kurt Warner announced he was retiring at the end of the 2009 season. Whether that quarterback was Derek Anderson, Max Hall, John Skelton or Kevin Kolb, one thing has been constant -- none have given the Cardinals a very good chance of winning. Arizona is 17-27 since that fateful January day almost four years ago and have had losing streaks of seven, six and eight games.
The Cardinals' offense, led by rookie Ryan Lindley in his second career start, was in a word -- offensive. The Cardinals managed just 137 yards of offense, and 40 of that total came on a fourth-down fake punt run by Rashad Johnson. Arizona went 0-for-15 on third downs in the game. Lindley completed 10-of-31 passes on the day.
Those who know me or have followed what I've written on ArizonaSports.com or said on Arizona Sports 620 know that I'm not a believer in John Skelton as an effective NFL quarterback. But if Coach Whisenhunt truly believes in playing the quarterback who gives his team the best chance to win, then Skelton should have been in the game.
Lindley is a sixth-round pick who has been abominable on the field this season, but it's not all his fault. The simple fact is he's not ready to play at this level. Whisenhunt pulled a quick hook on Skelton after he missed a wide-open Larry Fitzgerald in the first quarter during a loss at Atlanta -- a game they were leading at the time.
So why this show of patience with Lindley? Between Whisenhunt and Jets' coach Rex Ryan, whose quarterback, Mark Sanchez, was equally ineffective, Sunday's game became a bizarre contest of pride.
It's almost like Whisenhunt and Rex Ryan are playing a game of starting QB chicken, and neither will flinch.— Vince Marotta (@Vincemarotta) December 2, 2012
Ryan finally relented, benched Sanchez and inserted Greg McElroy. The former Alabama star and seventh-round pick led the Jets on the only touchdown drive of the game while Lindley continued to struggle.
Whisenhunt was asked by sideline reporter Paul Calvisi after the game whether he considered making a change at the QB position, and that familiar response surfaced again.
"We talked about it, we talk about everything," Whisenhunt answered. "You're trying to put your team in a position to win and you consider everything -- that's the job that you're faced with.
"You consider all those things and ultimately you go with what gives you the best chance to win."
If Ryan Lindley is indeed the quarterback that gives you the "best chance to win", two thoughts come to mind. First, your team's chances of winning are nil. Lindley has been blessed with a bushel of turnovers (nine in all against Atlanta and New York) and couldn't take advantage of the miscues and turn them into points.
And secondly, maybe the guy making the decision on who gives the team the best chance to win isn't that good a judge of quarterback talent. Three months ago, Whisenhunt anointed Skelton as the starter after a less-than-inspiring preseason battle with Kolb. Three months later, he can't step on the field to unseat a rookie who is struggling mightily.
And I know there's that faction of people who say "let's play the kid and see what we've got -- maybe he's another Tom Brady-like diamond in the rough."
Can we please, please, please stop holding out hope of catching lightning in a bottle with a sixth-round pick or an undrafted journeyman like Warner? Brady is the very definition of an anomaly and has had the benefit of playing under arguably the greatest coach in the league's history and there is a good reason why they'll be making Warner's life story into a movie in the very near future -- it's because longshots like that don't pan out.
The majority of quarterbacks who succeed in the league are high draft picks. Yes, teams miss all the time on first-round QBs, but the vast majority of successful quarterbacks in the NFL are first rounders.
Maybe that can be the basis of future decisions on which QB gives the Cardinals the "best chance to win."

You've probably noticed that Picasa Web's storage counter shows that you have more free space than a couple of days ago. It turns out that this is not a bug.
"We recently made a change whereby any pictures 800 pixels and under don't count towards used PWA storage. The new GB numbers you're seeing are the result of quota recalculations that were made," informs a Google employee.
The new feature encourages users to upload smaller images. If you use Picasa to upload your photos, there's a setting that lets you pick the dimensions of the photos that are uploaded. The "small" option is recommended "for publishing images on blogs and webpages". Blogger users who resize their photos before uploading them will no longer have to buy extra storage if they're prolific.
Another important change is that "all videos under 15 minutes also don't count towards used PWA storage". That means you can now upload short videos to Picasa Web Albums without worrying about the file size.
Update: "Photos less than 800 pixels x 800 pixels and video less than 15 minutes long that are uploaded to Picasa Web Album, Blogger, or Buzz don't count towards your storage quota." (Picasa Web's help center)

issue with it coming off, otherwise perfect
Date : September 17, 2012
"My son found this helmet to have outstanding comfort and **great** ventilation. It had the best concussion rating for the price, which was why we purchased it. Our only complaint is it appears to come off very easily. He has had it ripped off his head 4 times in 5 games. (He is a running back and linebacker.) Only one other player on the team has lost a helmet during that same time. I am not sure if it has something to do with the chin strap design or what, but the helmet appears to fit properly, it is just easy for the defense to rip off. The comfort and safety ratings are so good though, I'd still buy it again."

In this fantastical realm known as Stormhold, Tristan discovers that the fallen star is not at all what he expected but a spirited young woman (Claire Danes) injured by her cosmic tumble.
