When Elizabeth Dixon started a blog to help people carry out their new years resolutions, she decided against a Jan. 1 launch date.
Instead, she wanted to wait until that time when even the best-intentioned resolution makers start to slip up, get frustrated even throw in the towel.
That time is about now.
We have big lofty dreams, and it might be attainable, but we have to do it one step at a time, and it can take time, said Dixon, who is the wellness director at Chick-fil-A but said her new blog (www.biteanelephant.com) is a personal undertaking and open to the general public. I want to help people stay on track, and right about now is when people are like, Ohhh, I dont know about this, and they can get discouraged. Dixons blog will offer tips for a range of goals, including weight loss, better marriages and becoming debt-free.
The annual ritual of a list of goals on a slip of paper doesnt face strong odds of success. In fact, 88 percent of all resolutions end in failure, according to a 2007 survey of more than 3,000 people conducted by British psychologist Richard Wiseman.
Experts say we often set ourselves up for failure by zooming in on big, lofty goals without a step-by-step plan for achievement. Can you go from couch potato to running a half-marathon in a couple of weeks? Probably not, but you can walk a little bit farther than you did the day before.
At the same time, it may be hard to overhaul your entire diet overnight, but you can take small steps toward a healthier diet, such as drinking water instead of soft drinks, and incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet. Dixon suggests reducing portion size as a good first step toward losing weight.
Experts say its important to remember changes, even good ones like going to the gym, dont necessarily feel good right away. It takes time at least 21 days. Thats about how long experts believe it takes to change a habit.
In other words, patience is the key.
Someone may say on Jan. 1, I want to lose 20 pounds, and by Jan. 15, they are down 2 pounds and it may seem so daunting, but really, they are on the right track, said Dixon, who lives in Hampton, Ga.
For Isha Edwards, 40, meeting new years resolutions is all about getting in the right mind-set. For her, that begins with calling them goals and not resolutions and avoiding the first of the year for getting things started.
She also likes to give her goals fun names such as 30 day spend fast to describe her money-saving plan. She took on the money-saving goal last September to boost her savings. For one month, she fought the temptation to buy new items for her wardrobe.
The Atlanta marketing consultant still made her weekly trips to clothing stores, including her favorite Loehmanns. But for one month, Edwards only looked at merchandise. She passed on what seemed like the perfect shoes and the perfect accessories. By the end of the month, she boosted her checking account by $500.
Edwards feels like she not only met her goal for September, but has seen a lasting impact.
A lot of times, I live in the moment, Edwards said. And I learned how to go into a mall and not spend any money. During that month, I built up my willpower. Edwards hopes to soon go on a vacation to Italy, and she said, shell have enough saved up to pay for the entire trip before she goes.
Meanwhile, shes just started a new goal for the year: learning Italian.
Steeling your resolve
Five tips for getting your new years resolutions back on track and staying there
1. Think big and start small. Will you be able to run a half-marathon next month? Probably not. But you can walk a little farther today than you did yesterday. Take those small steps, and they will build on one another.
2. Dont keep your goals a secret. Start spreading the word to friends, family and colleagues about your plans to improve your life. They can help keep you accountable and can be sources of support. Next time you are beating yourself up over slipping in your goal, they can remind you tomorrow is another day.
3. Keep a daily log. Getting your goals on paper is a good exercise. Track the changes you are making and analyze whats working and whats not.
4. Remember change can be uncomfortable. Even if its a good change going from the couch to the gym can feel downright weird. Give it time, and little by little, these changes will start feeling right.
5. Dont beat yourself up. No one ever sticks to a plan 100 percent. We all slide back into our old habits from time to time its human nature and imperfection at its finest. So just resolve to get back on track the next day. (One bad meal doesnt mean a 10-pound weight gain. One cigarette doesnt make you addicted. And one day of clutter does not put you back to where you started.)

While she always wanted to be a doctor, she first provided care as a nurse, and some of her early experiences helping cancer patients encouraged her to specialize in radiation oncology as a physician. Dr. Margaret MacDowell has been with Trident Health for the past 20 years since her residency, often teaming up with patients who are battling breast cancer. "I like having more of an ongoing conversation with patients, rather than me telling them what they need to do. I want them to be comfortable, and I want them to be able to say anything they want to me." Dr. MacDowell works from Trident Cancer Center through Radiation Oncology Associates of Charleston. Through the years, she has seen encouraging advances in radiation oncology and radiotherapy. "There are fewer side effects of treatment and less tissue damage because we can treat with smaller margins and still obtain good cure rates."

10 Best Low-Calorie Summer Cocktails
Want to keep your bikini body intact but don't want to spend the summer sipping light beer? You need to try these amazingly creative (and delicious) options
Pure heaven. The only downside? That piña colada has a staggering 664 calories.
Click here to see 10 low calorie drinks perfect for summer.
If we really wanted to keep our bikini bodies looking great the easiest solution would be to forgo those tasty summer cocktails altogether, but how boring is that? Very. Which is why we tapped a team of mixologists and nutritionists and asked them for best-of-both-worlds solutions: low calorie drinks that taste just as good, or even better, than your high-cal summer cocktail staples.
If these tasty, low-calorie sips sound too good to be true (we were skeptical at first, too), keep reading to see the recipes our team came up with. The secret? Instead of using calorie-filled mixes loaded with sugar, they swapped in fresh fruit and juices that give you plenty of flavor without all the extra stuff.
Consider these 10 summer drink recipes your key to diet-friendly fun. And if you want to go even further and try your own hand at mixology, keep these guidelines in mind:
•Use soda water as a low-calorie mixer.
•Add pieces of fruit for sweetness, instead of sugar.
•Try making summer cocktails with sake, shochu, or soju, they tend to have fewer calories than traditional spirits, like vodka or gin.
*Editors note: All calorie counts are approximate.

I do love cocktails and ways to decrease calories from them is a def plus.

These sound delicious. I've been drinking light beer, but these would taste much better, and for roughly the same number of calories!

watermelon fizz sounds great
by LittleBunny Monday, August 6, 2012 at 09:27AM Report as inappropriate
I know its really basic but its a good drink and has a small amount of calories, VODKA SODA. To spice it up you can do a flavored vodka or freeze fruit and add it to the drink. Its refreshing and probably the least amount of calories in an alcoholic drink.

Miley Cyrus Twerking Video: Shakes Her Butt in Unicorn Onesie! (VIDEO)
Unicorns do exist — and they know how to twerk, too.
Miley Cyrus has posted a video of herself dancing and shaking her booty while wearing her unicorn onesie, and this is one video you won't want to miss.
The video is also notable because Miley can be seen wearing her engagement ring from Liam Hemsworth in it. She had previously been photographed numerous times without it.
If there was any doubt as to whether Miley knows how to get down, let those doubts be forever dismissed. Unicorn power!

IRVINE, Calif. - Cal State Northridge sophomore Olympia Jewett scored a career-best 5,040 points to finish third in the heptathlon at the Big West Championships Saturday at UC Irvine's Anteater Stadium. In the decathlon, the Matador men finished fifth, sixth and ninth.
Jewett, who's previous best of 4,878 points came at the season-opening Northridge Invitational, was fourth with 3,109 points after day one on Friday. She then finished second in the long jump, ninth in the javelin and seventh in the 800 meters to earn an additional 1,931 points on Saturday.
Jewett matched her season-bests in the high jump (5-5) and shot put (37-6.75) on Friday and set season-bests in both the long jump (5.57m) and the javelin (107-3) on Saturday. Her two-day points total of 5,040 ranks eighth in Northridge history.
Sophomore Jordan DuFault also competed for the Matadors and finished ninth with a lifetime-best 4,512 points. DuFault ran a season-best 15.82 in the 100 meter hurdles on Friday and also posted season-bests in the high jump (4-11) as well as the 200 meters (10.72). On Saturday, DuFault opened with a season-best 5.21m in the long jump before throwing a season-best 125-5 in the javelin and running 2:40.62 in the 800 meters.
Barbara Nwaba of UC Santa Barbara won the heptathlon with 5,709 points which is the most by a heptahlete since UNLV's Sheila Tarr scored 5,856 points in 1984.
In the decathlon, Derrick Harris finished a team-best fifth with 6,441 points while Kevin Finley was sixth (6,407) and Donovan Toban was ninth (6,257). Northridge scored a total of seven points in the event.
Harris was sixth after five events on Friday scoring 3,446 points. He then finished second in the pole vault (14-10.75) and was third in the discus (120-11) to highlight Saturday's events. Harris' total of 6,441 is just 24 points off his season-best.
Finley scored a career-best 6,407 points to capture sixth place. During the championships, he posted season-bests in the 100 meters (11.34), the long jump (6.45), the high jump (6-1.50) and had the top time among the nine competitors in the 110 hurdles (14.94).
Toban, who was second to eventual champion Derek Masterson after scoring 3,728 over five events on Friday, slipped to ninth after scoring 2,529 points in Saturday's final five events. Toban, who has missed the last month of training with an injury, recorded season-bests in the 100 meters (11.03) and had the second-best mark in the long jump during the championships.
The main portion of the championships gets underway next Friday, May 11. All events will take place at UC Irvine's Anteater Stadium.

Movie Description(Click Here To Hide)
In 1935, inmates at the Cold Mountain Correctional Facility call Death Row "The Green Mile" because of the dark green linoleum that tiles the floor. Paul Edgecomb (Tom Hanks) is the head guard on the Green Mile when a new inmate is brought into his custody: John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), convicted of the sadistic murder of two young girls. Despite his size and the fearsome crimes for which he's serving time, Coffey seems to be a kind and well-mannered person who behaves more like an innocent child than a hardened criminal. Soon Edgecomb and two of his fellow guards, Howell (David Morse) and Stanton (Barry Pepper), notice something odd about Coffey: he's able to perform what seem to be miracles of healing among his fellow inmates, leading them to wonder just what sort of person he could be, and if he could have committed the crimes with which he was charged.

Federal regulations require that all J-1 exchange visitors and J-2 dependents have health insurance that meets specified minimum requirements. Coverage must run for the duration of the exchange visitor's program in the U.S.
It is important to understand that failure to maintain insurance coverage is a violation of U.S. government regulations that results in immediate termination of exchange visitor status. Click here for more information about this regulation.
When looking for a doctor, it's always helpful to ask people you know for recommendations. Possibly, someone in your department at NYU will be able to recommend someone, or a friend who has visited or lived in the city may know of one. Also, the NYU Medical Center of NYU's School of Medicine is affiliated with a number of doctors and hospitals in the city.
NOTE: NYU's University Health Center on Broadway at the Washington Square campus is primarily a resource for students. Full-time employees can use the center at times for immunization shots or vision care.
You will need to make sure that you are covered by insurance that meets the U.S. minimum federal requirements. If you will be a full-time salaried employee at NYU, you will most likely receive health insurance through NYU and will be required to pay a monthly premium for that insurance out of your paycheck. If you are not sure whether you will receive health insurance through NYU, consult with your department.
If you will not be covered by NYU, then you will need to have health insurance either from your home country or from a company in the U.S. If you are using an insurance plan from your home country, make sure you contact the company before you leave home to understand the coverage you will receive and the procedure to follow while you are in the U.S. Before making an appointment with any US doctor, you should ask the doctor's office if it will accept your type of insurance. You may have to pay the doctor the full cost of the visit, and then submit a claim to your home insurance company later for possible reimbursement. Be aware that paying the full cost of the visit and any additional fees for such things as x-rays or laboratory tests may mean hundreds of dollars.

Movie Description(Click Here To Hide)
Gavin Nichols (Charlie Hunnam) is on the ledge. Hollis (Terrence Howard), who just learned that he is not the biological father of his children, is tasked with talking Gavin down. Their conversation eventually reveals Gavin's deep-rooted conflict with his fundamentalist Christian neighbor Joe (Patrick Wilson), whose theological opposition to Gavin was intensified by Gavin's gay roommate and later by Joe's wife's infidelity. The negotiations take a drastic turn when Hollis learns that Gavin has a deadline, and his life is not the only one hanging in the balance.

Continuing our structural mechanics tutorial blog series, we have created two more videos of different functionality existing in COMSOL's Structural Mechanics Module. The first post in the series introduced you to the Structural Mechanics Module via a linear elastic analysis of a bracket, and the following post included two supplemental videos for adding Initial Strain and Thermal Stress to the this model. Next up we have two more "mini-tutorials" — this time outlining the Rigid Connector feature and the Linear […]Read more ⇢

Swept meshing is a geometry discretization technique available in COMSOL Multiphysics for specific types of geometries, including thin geometries, geometries with bends, and models with little or no variation in a specific direction. A swept mesh starts at a source boundary and sweeps along to a specified destination boundary. In previous versions of COMSOL Multiphysics, the source and destination boundaries generally needed to be specified by the user. However, in the latest release, COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.3b, the swept mesh […]Read more ⇢

Our newest release, COMSOL Multiphysics version 4.3b, contains so many new modules and features, certain additions might get lost in the fray. One addition to the COMSOL Multiphysics base package we don't want you to miss is the ability to create 2D models from cross sections of 3D geometries. This easy-to-use feature allows engineers to simplify the model, gain understanding of and fine-tune parameters, and dramatically reduce simulation time.Read more ⇢

I will always remember a Geotechnical Engineering class I took during the pursuit of my Civil Engineering degree. It contained both the high and low points for that academic semester; the lab portion was a lot of fun, learning about (read: playing with) the different soils and clays existing in the state of Georgia. The final project, on the other hand, tasked us with designing a retaining wall to match certain specifications — a tough and lengthy assignment. A retaining […]Read more ⇢

Back in January, I presented a video tutorial introducing the Structural Mechanics Module here on the blog. The video described the steps necessary to perform a static linear analysis on a bracket geometry. Now, to help you better understand the extra functionalities that exist within COMSOL Multiphysics and the Structural Mechanics Module, we are also creating additional tutorial videos of this bracket. The first two "mini-tutorials" to accompany the static linear analysis video focus on adding initial strain and thermal […]Read more ⇢

Online engineering magazines, like Design World and Desktop Engineering, are great for anyone out there interested in emerging technologies. I especially liked a few recent articles: two in Design World's "CAE Solutions" section and one in Desktop Engineering's simulation section, detailing a couple of major topics important to finite element analysis, or FEA. First there is meshing, the foundation of FEA software. Second, there is optimization, which is all about maximizing efficiency and improving results. The key for any production […]Read more ⇢

Metamaterials are a new and emerging technology with vast potential to reshape our views on what is and isn't possible in this physical world of ours. Unlocking the mysteries and overcoming the obstacles associated with metamaterials would lead to a host of technological advances once thought impossible by even the most imaginative of individuals. From making computer chips smaller and faster than the most advanced current ones, to protecting structures from earthquakes, to developing imaging technology that doesn't harm tissue […]Read more ⇢

The electrical grid describes the network created for producing electricity, transmitting it and delivering it to the consumers. A "smart grid" is an electrical grid that gathers information on the suppliers and consumers automatically to improve efficiency and sustainability in the system. As the automated technology improves, the hardware that physically connects the electrical grid together must improve as well. This hardware, the "nuts and bolts" of the grid, is comprised of transformers, cable joints, terminations, bushings, and fault current […]Read more ⇢

Induction occurs when a metal object moves in the presence of a magnetic field inducing a current in that object. The induced current causes it to heat up (called inductive heating), as all current does. Yet, simulating these two coupled physics together can be difficult to do as they are intrinsically based on different time scales. COMSOL Multiphysics is able to cleverly simulate them through combining the frequency domain modeling of the magnetic field with a stationary simulation of the […]Read more ⇢

Ultra-precise optical components require blemish-free surfaces that often cannot be achieved by the machining processes that grind these components. Fluid jet polishing (FJP) is a new technology being developed by Zeeko Ltd to replace the hand polishing that was often required. With the help of COMSOL, Zeeko was able to create a product that polishes the optical components in only ten minutes instead of an entire day, and without waveforms.Read more ⇢

The 1800s
The City of Warren's first library and one of the first in Ohio began in 1814 and was located in the shop of local cabinetmaker Charles White. It was comprised of about 1,000 books primarily on history and biography.
In 1848, the library was taken over by a group of local citizens who formed the Warren Library Association. The books were moved to the second floor of the VanGorder Building on Market Street. Lecture fees and donations enabled the library to carry on until 1854 when declining revenues forced the library to sell its 2,000 volume collection at auction.
There was no library in Warren from 1854 to 1877 when Doctor Julian Harmon began circulating a small collection of books from his office. People who wanted to borrow a book paid a fee of $1.00 and this practice continued for eleven years. In 1888 a meeting took place in Doctor Harmon's office to consider the establishment of a permanent library for the City of Warren. An agreement was reached and the new library opened with 254 books and was open two afternoons and evenings a week. Lectures and fees provided the money to maintain the library.
By 1890, the library's founders felt it was time to incorporate under the laws of the State of Ohio and the Warren Library was created and had a collection of 1,738 books. In 1897 the library moved to the first floor of the new Court House. This new facility included reference and children's sections.
A state law in 1898 required the Warren Library to change from a subscription library to a free public library. Free meaning the new Warren Public Library was free to all persons living within the Warren City School District and was supported by a tax levy of 3/10 mill.
The 1900s
In 1901, correspondence was begun with Andrew Carnegie asking him to finance a new library building. In 1903 Carnegie approved the plans for a new library and contributed $27,000 for the new building's construction. The new library was dedicated on February 5, 1906. The City of Warren contributed $3,000 a year to help support the new library.
Finances were a continuing problem and in 1923 the Warren Public Library changed from an association library to a school district library to insure a more stable source of funding.
By the early 1930s the Great Depression made funds for library support extremely scarce. To help alleviate this problem the Ohio General Assembly passed the Intangibles Tax in 1933. This tax was levied on personal property such as stocks and bonds and until 1986 was the major source of funding for the Warren Public Library. In 1986, Ohio's libraries were funded by 5.7% of the state's income tax money, called the Library and Local Government Support Fund. In 2008, this funding source changed again. Permanent law was enacted by the Ohio legislature allocating 2.2% of Ohio's general tax revenue for the support of Ohio's 251 public libraries. This fund is called the Public Library Fund.
Over the next several decades the Warren Public Library continued to grow. By 1934 the WPL had 12 rural branch libraries located in places ranging from gas stations to hardware stores. Bookmobile service began in 1938. 1948 saw the introduction of circulating 16mm films and phonograph records.
In 1971, the present Warren Public Library building was completed, paid for by a combination of Federal LSCA funds, library trust funds and a large donation from the Warren Library Association.
In 1982, the Warren Public Library underwent another change becoming the Trumbull County District Library and was by law now responsible for providing library service to all citizens of Trumbull County not served by one of the other six public libraries in the county. The library's name changed to the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library (W-TCPL).
In 1996, Trumbull County voters approved a 4/10 mill continuing library levy to help support the W-TCPL. This levy generates about $800,000 per year. In 2006, voters approved an additional continuing levy of 6/10 mill that provides about $1.7 million in operating revenues each year.
The present Warren-Trumbull County Public Library is comprised of the Main Library on Mahoning Avenue, the Brookfield Branch, the Cortland Branch, the Howland Branch, the Liberty Branch, the Lordstown Branch Library, Bookmobile service and Homebound service. The Library's web site at www.wtcpl.org is open 24/7 to serve customers.
With a staff of over 100 full and part-time employees, the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library exists to serve the educational, cultural and recreational needs of the residents of Trumbull County.

I have to say, While Rift isnt the most perfect mmo on the market, I do think it is most stable and most likely in 5 years to still be around. Know I know this is all pure speculation but if you look at the trend of the last 3 big mmo releases in the last year (SWTOR, TERA and TSW), All starte out big and fizzled quickly or never took off the ground. Rift on the other hand, while didnt take off like Wow did, at least did moderately ok and has a stable population (I think) and has a its first expansion coming out in a few months. Out of those 4 games, Rift is still a sub game (but like Wow, has a" lvs 1-20 free trial thing") while the other games :
SWTOR> 1. Launched with huge hype, sold 2.4 million copies
2. Ok story but lacked even basic features that mmos years ago had
3. Horid engine with 2004 graphics and shoddy CS
4. Ignorant and clueless devolopers
5. Within months, offers free trials like candy, and in 8 months annouces F2P by Nov
6. Went from 1.7 million subs to maybe at best 500k?
7. With EA on the box, wouldnt trust my time with it (even if it was good) they have a bad track record of shutting down games)
Tera> 1. Much better graphics and animations but dull, tiresome, quest hub, standard themepark gameplay
2. Bad handling of the EU version due to Frogster
3. Lack of endgame
4. Not sure on numbers but prob never had beyond 700k to start now, I think its less than 300k
5. Pretty sure it is going to F2P soon if not already (know it is in Korea)
6. Only one leveling path to lv60, this is what killed Tera for me imo.
TSW> 1. Graphics are meh
2. EA once again, wouldnt trust them with a 10 foot pole
3. Heard the game is already bleeding subs badly
4. Played the game for a few hours then quit, thought it was a total bore.
And now compared to Rift:
1. Graphics arent the greatest, but at least it feels more alive than SWTORs
2. Standard quest-hub themepark but its is just like Wow (it can be a good or bad thing) but didnt bore me so fast like it did in TERA.
3. Great CS support and Trions Worlds really does pump out content quick and listens to players.
4. Is still P2P and with a full expansion otw (looks veyr interesting btw), its future looks good
5. Last I heard isnt bleeding subs and has a stable population of around 500k?
I think Rift, by far, will still be the game most likely to be P2P in at least 2-3 years. I know the F2P market is getting huge and P2P is looking long in the tooth but if the game is good and has good support then P2P is still viable. This is just my opinion and not trying to state these points as fact. I have played all 4 of these games and other than Rift, I could not possiblly see myself ever going back to playing SWTOR, TERA or TSW. Just my 2 cents.
P.S. Also, I dont mean to dog anyone that enjoys SWTOR, TERA or TSW, just imo they were a total letdown really quickly.

I seriously doubt it's anywhere near 500k subscribers. I have nothing against the game, it's jsut too close to WOW for my current tastes.

With the exception of a two month span in jan/feb its been bleeding subs since it launched, but all MMOs have lost subs in that time span. We do know it started with 56 active NA servers, and now its down to 16 NA servers, of which half of them are basically dead servers. 2 months ago it had 5 medium and one high pop servers, now its down to 4 mediums and zero high pop. I dont think anyone knows how Trion tracks this anymore because it used to be dynamic tracking, now its static-there are low pop servers that certainly have enough people to classify as medium at prime time, but they remain low on the tracker.
That said, the expansion will probably bump it back up to the level it was two months ago and if expansion has good word of mouth could grow Rift again.
I don't see the point of comparing Rift to TERA and TSW, neither of these were expected to be major factors. TSW got some late hype because it was different and better than expected, but neither game was hyped anywhere near to the extent that Rift was. If Rift is considered AAA than really TSW should be considered AA and TERA is A (no Korean game has made even a ripple in the NA/EU region, let alone a splash). None are 'B' titles, but there was certainly a signficant difference in expectations.
As far as SWToR, well that was obviously expected to make a significantly bigger impact than Rift, and it obviously hasnt. Still, I dont see it shutting down anytime soon. EA will find a way to make it profitable enough to recoup their investment.
I do think its funny you mentioned SWTOR offering free trials like candy in a pro Rift post though, especially as they are in yet another free weekend.

OP may be right that it will be the most stable but it certainly isn't clearly "better" than the games you listed at much of anything.

Whatever Rift is or isn't, it's fun and players stay with it. It feels like a world and not a single player rpg with a sub attached.
I think it's easy to assume Rift will be around since it has of the ones listed been around the longest and is right upon releasing its first expansion.
Irregardless, this sort of conversation doesn't really discuss the game at all and is nothing more than....speculation. At this point, one could make a case for all that are listed for various reasons. But then what's the point?

What Rift has that sets it apart fromt he other games listed is great after launch support including robust and frequent content updates.Whilst other games can claim to have plenty of updates sicne launch the content released int hose games has been shallow and quickly consumed especially in comparison to Rift updates.

I've played all the games on your list and currently im playing TSW. I do like Rift and most likely will resub in Nov when the expansion comes out maybe sooner.
You can actually also look at some good in these too. In Tera the combat was almost perfect if they added a bit of range. I love the idea that i could miss.
SWTOR- played itself
Tera- was too cartoon for me
WOW- never again panda's or no panda's

Rift did crash, during its first few months. It just came out before the others, and more people have forgotten, but sold upwards of a million, and then nosedived. I think it bottomed out, somewhere below TOR but above Tera and TSW. Looks stable now, because that was quite a while ago, and Trion has done a great job of keeping the game going, instead of just giving up, like a lot of other devs seem to do, when they fail to be the WoW-killer they seemed to be hoping for.
Also, @grimal, "irregardless" isn't a word. You just mean "regardless" :p
When I want a single-player story, I'll play a single-player game. When I play an MMO, I want a massively multiplayer world.

People need to get it in their heads..EA Partners distributed copies of TSW only..they had no hand in it's development at all. EA Partners only help as a 3rd party distributor for a fee of course. If anything its one of the better services EA provides that can help games reach markets they otherwise might have missed for lack of greater funds or infrastructure. Not that it seemed to help TSW much...great game ...just too many free games out there that are pretty decent imo and more to come.

Now that tsw,tor,tera,and gw2 are out and off their pedestals rift really starts to come to the forefront as ne of the best themeparks onthe market. The expansion is adding tons of open world content and player housing. I will level from 50-60 without doing a single dungeon or quest hub. Ill be running around exploring and hunting rifts. My downtime ill be cooking fishing camping cafting trading and working on my house.
Its cool because you still have the quest hubs dungeons and raids but also will have this almost sandboxy playstyle available as well.

The strong are sometimes wrong but the weak are never free.
The difference between Rift and SWTOR, Tera and TSW is that all the later are niche games. Let me explain before you blow a fuse.
I think most would agree that Tera and TSW are niche games. Tera brings a good clean implimentation of action combat to the MMO space. Not that there are not other action combat games out now and they are becoming more common but Tera does do a good job in this regard. For most people it will not be enough to keep them interested but for a certain group it works. The question is, will this group be big enough to support the game. My guess is that it will be big enough in Asia to keep going and the west will be able to generate enough revenue to keep getting updates ported over, but just barely. We wil see.
TSW is also niche, both in the game design and in the subject matter. X-files and horror fans will keep this title alive. It also plays unusually well even if you are not a conspiracy fan. I think it is a good game overall, it just needs to connect with conspiracy fans and they are not primarily mmo players because there has never really been anything out there for them. I think this title will grow over time but only modestly. It will never be huge and funcom needs to figure out how to bring conspiracy fans into the mmo fold. No easy task.
SWTOR? a niche game? Yes, but only because that is what it ended up becoming. Let me explain. SWTOR is basically the Star Wars flavored, lateral expansion of WoW. They wanted to be WoW in space so they did everything just like WoW and except for dialing up voice over and story to 11, SWTOR really does nothing to differentiate itself from WoW. The problem is that stories always have an end and once you work your way though as many of the stories, or alts as you care to do then you are more or less done with the part of the game that shines the brightest. Once you are done with your story(s) what is left? A raiding end game that is anemic compared to WoW. Basically, from the perspective of the endgame SWTOR doesn't give players any good reason to not return to WoW. So many went back to be with friends, to have a more varied endgame and to enjoy the things that they might have collected over the last several years like titles, mounts and pets. In other words SWTOR was an interesting diversion but it didn't give WoW players enough to over come their inertia. So even though SWTOR did everything it could to be WoW and mainstream, it backfired and now the only real reason to stick with SWTOR is because you love Star Wars. That is their niche. If you just want to be a Luke or Darth or Han Solo then its your game. And don't underestimate the power of that. Only an IP like Star Wars could possibly keep an MMO afloat all by itself. Of course that was not what EA had bargained for which is why they putting the F2P beat down on the title but that is something else again...
Rift is different because it is doing exactly what blizzard once did with WoW. They are simply doing what has proven successful so far, bringing together what works well from dozens of different games, adding a few ideas of their own and doing it all very very well and polished. Rift has taken all the advantages of being newer while delivering things so fast that you forget that they are still new. Rift has the newer look, the newer feature set and a new story to dig into. Basically, it gives people from WoW a new place to go without feeling like they are taking a step down in the endgame. Rift has 3 solid raid tiers now and has built up a very loyal raiding community. I don't think any other company has been able to pull this off to the same extent. That is not to say that they are just like WoW in terms of size, gain WoW has the advantage because of inertia but it has still positioned itself well as a viable alternative to WoW for those who are tired of the same old thing but still want something fundamentally similar.
All die, so die well.

On and off I see people posting about how many subscribers a game has. I never see anything from the makers of the game expcpet Blizzard now and then, nothing recent. I could be wrong and maybe I am missing the post that say how many subscribers a game has. But I would like to know when some say X game has X amount of subscribers where do they get the information from? I am really just wondering.

Rift's combat i decent. It is however non laggy and very fast responsive. It is also a very easy game to get into and actually offers a wow endgame - light version.
Where they failed to me however is the class balance. They are even more clueless that aion, wow or swtor in regards to balance.
Even though I love the game I would most likley not play it again even if they fix the class balance. They kinda prooved to me that they are way to clueless to make it work. So if they fix it it will most likley be cause of luck, and in the next patch 2 months later they will be back in square 0.

Rift has the worst character animation and models you can find among major MMO titles. Only worse is LOTRO and that was released quite a while ago.

It helps people to overcome their inertia and realize that perhaps its time to try a new game. But If those other games turn out to be too niche. Too odd for a certain group of people then those people, still wanting something new but at the same time something that lands closer to home may well give Rift a try and realize that it suits them. An MMO market that is in flux will play well for a title like Rift even if it has meant loosing some of its own customers for a time.

Want to see what this recipe costs at different supermarkets? Compare in one place here:
Chabichou du Poitou
Flattened cone-shaped cheese from the Charente – the most important goat's-cheese-producing area in France. Soft, creamy taste with velvety rind.
- Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Split the chicken breasts almost in half from one long side and open them out like a book. Bat them out a little with a rolling pin to flatten them. Season on all sides. Put half the goat's cheese on each piece of chicken and sprinkle with the thyme leaves. Fold the chicken over to enclose the cheese, then wrap each one in two slices of the bacon.
- Lightly oil a shallow gratin dish, then arrange overlapping rows of courgettes and tomatoes over the base. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme sprigs. Sit the chicken on top.
- Bake for 40-45 mins until the bacon is crisp and golden and the courgettes are tender. Serve straight from the dish with new potatoes or good bread.

Comments, questions and tips
We make this quite regularly because it's a full evening meal with minimal effort. Pancetta works much better than bacon which doesn't cook through properly and is too thick. I scatter a few tomatoes on the vine over the courgettes rather than slicing larger ones. I also find a harder goat's cheese log, sliced, works better than one without a rind which seems to bubble out everywhere. Baby potatoes served on the side - yum.

Robert and Loretta Giancroce of Mr. Central Air Conditioning have donated $4,000 to the Aiken County School District providing 80 Kroger gift cards that will be donated to 80 teachers.
During a Board of Education meeting Tuesday, Aiken County Schools Superintendent Dr. Beth Everitt and Board Chair Rosemary English expressed their thanks for the Giancroces assistance. Robert Giancroce had previously donated gift cards for more than $2,000 in 2010.
As I listened to the School Board discuss the financial strain facing educators and the restrictions on spending, it gave me an idea, Giancroce said. As a parent and business owner, it felt necessary to show my personal appreciation to teachers.
School officials will use the gift cards to reward teachers with outstanding performance in and out of the classroom, and for being a positive role model for not only students but their peers, as well.
This generous gesture is a pleasant surprise and reminder of our supporters in the business community, Everitt said. Teachers will be awarded gift cards periodically after nominations by their school principal are reviewed and selected. Mr. Giancroce has shown unwavering support for our educators over the years, and we appreciate his effort to enhance their experience in the school system.
Its important to recognize extraordinary teachers through the school year, said Ansley Bennett, a Kroger associate.
We were happy to assist Mr. Giancroce with his generous gift to teachers in Aiken County, she said.
Giancroce said he appreciated the opportunity to do the right thing in honoring teachers.
Success in our schools is success in our community, he said. My goal is to keep education at the forefront of the business community. I hope more businesses take part in teacher appreciation projects this school year. We all need to say Thank You to our teachers.
For additional information on the gift card program, call Tammie Newman at 641-2639 or email email@example.com.

Real Housewives of New York: Aviva Says the Other Ladies Showed a "Lack of Character"
The Real Housewives of New York Season 5 hit a goldmine of drama when the gals went to St. Barts. The biggest conflict was between Aviva Drescher and Ramona Singer, with Sonja Morgan taking Ramona's side, of course.
In this sneak peek of Season 5, Episode 16 (airing September 17), Sonja and Aviva sit down for a meal back in New York, where they rehash the drama, again. Guess what? It doesn't go well.
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

Poll: How would you feel if Apple released a second new iPad this year?
Can you not wait for Apple to release a second, Retina Display equipped iPad 3 (or iPad 2 HD/Pro/Plus) this year, or does the mere thought of it fill you with unbridled geek rage? The rumors keep getting stronger, and TiPb and many others have heard that Apple is seriously considering adding a new iPad to the already chock-a-block fall lineup.
If you just paid $500-$900 for an iPad 2, it's understandable that that would set you off. You wanted top of the line for 2011 and you expected your investment to be top of the line until at least next spring. How could Apple try and obsolete your beautiful new iPad 2 just 6 months out of the gate?
Some of you might look at your iPad 2 and really be annoyed by the lack of Retina Display, and want Apple to address that asap, damn the costs. Or maybe you skipped iPad 2 because it wasn't a big enough bump and have been waiting to go Retina for a while already, and the sooner the better. Hey, maybe you haven't even gotten on the iPad train yet and this is the model you've been holding out for, and now is not a problem.
Apple has already sold over 20 million plus iPads and while that's a good chunk of potential upgrades, they likely have their eyes set on a much bigger prize -- the over 100 million iPhone uses who don't have iPads yet, and beyond them, the hundreds of millions of consumers who don't have any iOS devices at all yet.
Apple has us, understands we'll upgrade when and if we can, but it wants them. Would a more expensive iPad be the way to increase their already market leading share of the tablet market? Maybe a little. The bigger share will be, of course, at the lower end of the market -- a place Apple has eschewed in the past for everything but iPods. But an iPad Pro to fit the MacBook Pro square in the product matrix is interesting... if the standard iPad 2 gets a price drop to better address the lower end at the same time...
Either way, how do you feel about Apple potentially releasing a second iPad this year?

Poll: How would you feel if Apple released a second new iPad this year?
Annoyed I suppose. Only got my iPad2 a few weeks ago. Such is life for an apple fan though I suppose.
ha imagine being an android fan...
I bought and iPad 2 the day it come out and have enjoyed the heck out of it. If it is "merely" and upgrade in display to retina I'm not sure that would be nearly enough to go buy a new one.
I bought iPad 2 the day it came out. If this is just an iPad 2 with a retina display, and they add another couple hundred to the price of each model, then I won't care. If it has retina display plus other upgrades (more of an iPad 3) then yeah I'll be pretty annoyed that iPad 2 only lasted six months.
Judging by the fact apple just got the shipping times down to 5 days, I somewhat doubt this
I would be a little outraged. Like others, I just bought an iPad 2 a little over a week ago and will not be a happy camper if a new iPad comes out a measly few months later. Although, if it's an iPad 2 HD/Pro with just an upgrade in display, I think I will get over it quickly. If it happens to be an iPad 3 with a complete upgrade, I will be pissed!
I would be happy IF that meant they dropped the price of the current iPad. I know that's usually procedure, but I wondered if maybe they would leave the current iPad at its price point and just charge more for the new one because of its "HD" or "Pro" status. I want an iPad, and was actually trying to find an original to buy. So I would wait and buy the iPad 2 this fall if the price dropped. I don't need a pro version, so that option would be a great chance for me to get the 2.
I say be grown up about your purchases and don't buy every darn version of a product that comes out. I still use the iPad1. Would I like the the iPad2 but guess what? ... I don't "really" need one as my iPhone4 handles facetime fine. Now when IOS5 comes out, that may be a game changer. Use bit of restraint people! If the iPad3 comes out, then great. Bury the competitors!
Technology changes every 3-6 months. Just because they released new versions every year previously, doesn't mean that's the way they would always continue to do it. They have to keep up with the competition, which has gotten much more fierce in the untapped Tablet market. Some of the new offerings in the Tablet market are very valid contenders. Apple didn't get to where they are by sitting on thier hands, just to make thier zealots happy. They released under a timing that worked for them, given the market conditions and thier product cycle. The tablet arena is a whole different animal.
As well, they realize they have a lot of people following like blind lemmings. Why not let them capitalize on it? I bought an iPad 2. I'm happy with it. I may look at the Ipad2+, but I'd have a hard time justifying the purchasing after spending the money on buying my 64GB 3G a few months ago. Difference is, some people have the patience to wait, others don't. If you happen to be one that doesn't, then I don't understand how you can be mad at Apple. That's your problem. Be happy with your purchase, and upgrade when it makes sense for you. Not just because Apple releases a new version just to have it. Apple isn't in the market to make you happy (Heck - Jobs' comment on "hold it differently" proved that last year). They are in the market to make money. End of story.
Well said. You hit the nail right on the head! People who were or are annoyed that their iPad 2 doesn't have a Retina Display shouldn't have bought one.
I will be shocked if they come out with another one. It just really doesn't sound like something apple would do. I bought an iPad 2 two weeks after it came out so I will be a little annoyed if they come out with another one already. I dont think there is a reason to put another one out already
If they market it as a premium iPad 2 (identical but better screen and maybe more RAM) and price it significantly higher (unavoidable, 10" Retina will come at a price) I don't think anyone can feel annoyed. If they introduce something better than the iPad 2 at the same price point, a lot of people have the right to be annoyed, but doubt that will happen.
I just bought my iPad 2, a product that is less then six months old, a few weeks ago so no, I don't want another iPad this year. I know these mobile devices have absurdly short lifespans, but this is just insane.
I have an iPad 1. A higher resolution iPad 2 "pro" (or whatever) would be appealing. On the other hand, I am tempted to wait until 2012 for personal upgrades to both iPhone and iPad. I am interested in LTE but doubt Apple will have an LTE mobile device until 2012. In the meantime, iPad 1 and iPhone 4 are plenty functional.
The iPad 2 meets my needs, so I see no reason to worry about a new one now. I don't need the latest and greatest. That game is too expensive.
I have never once looked at my iPad or my iPad2 screen and thought, "if only the resolution were better, then I'd be happy." The screen is beautiful and games and movies look great, and this from someone with formal University training in photography. Apple will have to do something better than fixing a non-problem to get me interested in an upgrade.
Here is another consideration: if Apple releases a "pro" iPad, it will likely push down prices on the "mainstream" line. Good thing.
If you own an iphone4 that you look at all day, then come home and look at your iPad you are disappointed at the screen. I didn't buy the iPad 2 just because of that. Can't wait for an iPad Pro.
I've only had my 2 for a short time, and I bought it AFTER the "better one is coming soon" rumors started. I'll admit it made me pause a bit, but the 2 had what I thought was lacking on the 1, and (except when you put an iPhone app in double size mode) the screen is gorgeous as is. I looked at how I will normally use the iPad, bet that the 10" retina screen model with real HD cameras and 64 GB will NOT be going for $699 (and that battery life will probably take a hit) and went ahead and bought now, rather than wait.
Next year I'll get the iPhone 6, and the year after I will pass my iPad 2 to my son and get an iPad 4 (October will bring an iPad 2+, not an "iPad 3"). The mind boggles as to what the feature sets on those babies will be. And yes, a few months later, the iPhone 7 and i Pad 5 rumors will start and I'll deal with it then too. A "better one" will ALWAYS be coming soon.
I couldn't care less. I just bought an iPad 2 this past weekend knowing that a fancier one is around the corner. I'm in love with this device and it should suffice for the next couple of years.
I am enjoying my ipad 2 but didn't enjoy what I had to do to get it ;-) I'll let the fury die down and decide on the next one. If it's a higher res screen and a higher price,I'll pass.
I think they would have included the high res screen on the iPad2 if they could have got the quantity and price they wanted. But, since neither the quantity or price was there they did what they could and released the iPad2 with the standard screen. Offering a premium screen version for a higher price is a good idea. It keeps them ahead of the competition. If they had released both at the same time I would have gone for the lower priced version anyway, some with greater resources will get the better screen. I would also like to see them offer more screen sizes of the iPad, there are lots of applications that bigger or smaller screens would be ideal.
I do wish they had included better cameras, I don't use my iPad2 for a camera often, but when I do I always wish it had the same camera as the iPhone4. I am sure this was a cost factor as well and I understand that. The other feature they could include in the PRO version is better cameras.
I definitely have an interest in the higher resolution. The iPad 2 really want not enough of an improvement over the original so I see no reason to upgrade. In fact, because even the second generation iPad still had the same limitations as the original I have gone to an Android tablet. It works for work! The iPad was great at home and ok for work but I needed more than merely ok. Maybe the next one will address more issues...

has anyone ever cut a barrel from 21 to 16 inches how hard is it
yes just get a cutting torch and cut where you want, dress with a file and to recrown just use a drill bit thats bigger than the hole but woller a lot when you do you may have to touch up the place where you cut it
Cutting torch, drill bit? Someone's leg is getting pulled I think.

yea everyone knows you use a chop saw and bench grinder to reconture the muzzel. to take the front site and then ark weld it on with some 6011 rod.
seriously you reall should cut it off and turn the end to the proper Id with a lathe. the crown should be done with a proper tool but there are ways to do it on the cheap.
You can expect the chrome to start flaking at the crown degrading accuracy.
A hack saw will work. It's best to press a bullet in the bore at the point of the cut. Cutting through the bullet will help keep the chrome from flaking which isn't a big deal anyway. Use the heaviest .311" bullet you can find. The length will help insure the bullet is at the point of the cut. Also can measure inside and out to line up everything.
MIght be cheaper to buy a used 16" Saiga.
You'll definitely come out ahead on the flaking chrome.

But they didn't fare as well in the coin flip Wednesday afternoon to determine seeding for the Region 2-AAAAA Tournament, which Jones County will host next week.
The Greyhounds wound up as the third seed – Warner Robins is first and Northside second. The Jones County boys will play at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday in the opening round against the second seed from the east subregion – likely Lakeside-Evans or Grovetown, depending on the outcome of their games Friday.
Freshman Jerry Stephens, who finished with 16 points Tuesday, hit two key 3-point shots in the final overtime to build a lead for the Greyhounds, who had to play the final four minutes without star center Jarquez Smith, who fouled out.
Smith finished with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 11 blocks for his third straight triple-double.
Brandon Wimberly led the Greyhounds with 19 points, and Dominique Collier played great defense on the Demons' best shooter, Juvuan Shine, holding him to 11 points.
The Jones County girls lost to Warner Robins 44-33. They are the fourth seed from the west and will play east subregion top seed Evans in the opening round of the region tournament at 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday in Gray.

Illumination of the Check Engine Light can be caused by a loose or worn gas cap.
Car problem reports
Problem with your car? See what our experts say or submit your own.
Newest reported 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass problems
Check Engine Light Due to Gas Cap Issue
Intake Manifold Gasket May Leak Coolant or Engine Oil
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
Corrosion At Ignition Coil Towers
Corrosion may develop at the connection between the ignition coil tower and spark plug wire resulting in an engine misfire. The Ignition coil and spark plug wire should both be replaced to correct this condition.
Oil Pump Drive O-ring May Leak Oil From Rear of Engine
An engine oil leak may develop from the rear of the engine. This is commonly caused by a failed oil pump drive o-ring seal. The leaking o-ring should be replaced to correct this concern.
Overheating due to heater core leaking coolant
The heater core may leak coolant which could cause the engine to overheat and steam to fog up the inside of the windshield.
Loss of One or More HVAC Blower Motor Speeds
Front Brake Rotor Wear Can Cause Pulsations
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians often recommend replacement of the front rotors and brake pads as the best option to correct this condition.
Coolant Leak & Engine Overheating
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
Engine Starts and Stalls Due to Secutiry System Fault
The engine may start and stall with the security light flashing. This is commonly caused by a failed passlock sensor which is part of the ignition lock cylinder. A secondary cause could be the ignition switch itself. Worn contacts inside the ignition switch can cause voltage drop issues which can affect the passlock system. Proper diagnoses should be performed before replacing any parts.
Transmission Fluid Leak From Cooler Line
An automatic transmission fluid leak may develop from the rubber section of a transmission cooler line. In some cases the rubber section of hose can be replaced. In others, the complete cooler line must be replaced to correct this type of leak.
Stuck Key Due to Failure of Transmission Console Shifter/Wiring
The transmission console shifter or wiring may fail causing the key to become stuck in the ignition.
High Pressure Power Steering Hose Can Leak Fluid
The high pressure power steering hose will commonly leak fluid; it should be replaced.
Poor Ride/Handling Due to Worn Suspension Struts
The front struts may show signs of wear, or be excessively bouncy ride at freeway speeds. This may begin to occur at around 75,000 miles.
Power Window Not Working Due to Window Motor
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
Turn signals will not cancel, faulty switch
The turn signal switch may fail causing the turn signal flasher to continue to click after the turn signals are turned off.

(HIAWATHA, Kan.) A lot of eyes have turned their attention to Hiawatha, Kan. over the last year mainly thanks to the Redhawks' resident Division I prospect.
"The process, especially over this last year, has gotten absolutely crazy," senior defensive lineman Peyton Newell said. "Just as far as the attention to a national level as well as in the community."
"We're starting to draw people that maybe weren't a part of that crowd or just people out of town who come to see if the kid's the real deal," head coach Chris Diller said.
Newell, the number two prospect in the state, has spent over a year courting suitors for his services as a college freshman next year. He recently narrowed his choices down to Kansas, Kansas State, Nebraska, and South Carolina.
He also anchors a front seven for Hiawatha that includes six seniors and sits at the ready to terrorize opposing offenses."My class has actually been the core the last two years, so I'm really excited about this year," Newell said.
"They've all been playing since they were sophomores, so I think the confidence comes from the fact that they've been there," Diller added.
For a Redhawks team that finished 8-3 a year ago, strong defense will be needed to back up some of the inexperience under center. After graduating three-year starter Brad Chilcoat, junior Ryker Smith and freshman Joseph Kunkel are battling for snaps
But Diller says the team expects to lean on their ground game."All three of our running backs are returning. We've got a little bit of inside run and a little bit of outside run, so it's nice to have those options."
"I feel like it can help more than anything," senior RB/LB Parker Hasenkamp said. "I'm just trying to help the underclassmen, talk them up, get their confidence up."
For Newell, it's one last season with his teammates away from the hype and clamor of recruiting trips. He plans to announce where he'll play collegiately next Friday at Hiawatha High School so that he can focus on his senior campaign, for which he has one goal.
"Definitely a state championship," he said. "Not letting any of the hype, any of the newspapers, anything like that get into our head. We've got to keep grinding and doing as well as we can."
Hiawatha opens the season Sept. 6th hosting Perry-Lecompton.
