A surface trough is causing cloud and isolated thunderstorms over southwest WA. Another surface trough is responsible for low cloud over the Great Australian Bight and coastal areas of South Australia. The cloud band further west of WA is associated with a low pressure system. In the east, a high pressure system over New South Wales is directing a moist onshore airflow over the northeast coast of Australia, producing areas of patchy low cloud. The rest of the country is mostly clear due to a ridge of high pressure.

UT student Evan Matheney to attend 9/11 hearings at GitmoWritten by Jordan Finney | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Nineteen nongovernmental organizations have been granted "observer status" on an Office of Military Commissions list that defines the coterie of Americans who can travel to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and watch the upcoming military commissions hearings. The University of Toledo is on that list. And a 23-year-old UT law student is about to become one of the few Americans who will ever sit in the same room as a Guantanamo detainee. Evan Matheney will be a military commissions hearings observer at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, from June 14-21.
Matheney said he believes he will attend the trial of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (KSM), who was identified as "the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks" by The 9/11 Commission Report.
"I was super excited when I first found out that I could go because it's a big honor," Matheney said. "I view it like going to the Nuremberg Trials after World War II. For the rest of my life I can say that I got to attend the historic 9/11 hearings."
Matheney said he feels "personally intrigued" by the story of Daniel Pearl, an Israeli-American journalist who was captured by al-Qaida in Pakistan. During a 2007 military hearing, Mohammed stated that he had personally beheaded Pearl five years before.
"KSM is proud, not remorseful. Of all the people in Guantanamo, he deserves to be in there," Matheney said. "It's hard to grasp someone being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people."
Matheney was nominated to be an "observer" at the hearings by his former UT professor, Ben Davis. Davis attended the American Bar Association's annual meeting in August 2012 where he met U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, chief prosecutor for the Office of Military Commissions.
"I tried to be a straight shooter with him," Davis said. "I'm just an ordinary citizen who has been looking at this situation and I felt like he should hear someone challenge him on a few things in a heartfelt way."
Davis said he had "enormous respect" for Martins as a lawyer, but was concerned about the number of legal precedents being determined by allowing the Supreme Court to decide that only certain provisions of the U.S. Constitution apply in Guantanamo.
"I told Gen. Martins that this is a bulls*** process and I don't want him to get played," Davis said. "We don't know where the U.S. Constitution applies, yet these lawyers are citing all these federal and state criminal cases to build their respective cases. Those were all decided within the context of the U.S. Constitution. So are these really precedents or just an informal, interesting thing?"
Following their discussion, Martins told Davis that he was "welcome to come to Gitmo and see the hearings for himself." Two weeks later, Davis decided to accept Martins' invitation.
Following Martins' endorsement, the Office of Military Commissions promptly added UT to the exclusive list of organizations with "observer status" at the hearings. Davis, who could simply always nominate himself as UT's representative to Guantanamo, has instead sent about 10 of his UT students for a week each.
"This is a learning experience for them," Davis said. "The defense council and sometimes the prosecution will meet with observers and encourage them to ask any question they want. "That's an incredible opportunity."
Linda Amrou, a third-year law student, was the third person from UT to visit Guantanamo Bay via the nomination of Davis. She went for a week in October 2013.
"I'm a Muslim American woman who wears a headscarf, so going down there was particularly important not only for me but for all Muslim Americans," Amrou said. "We are part of the fabric of this nation so what happened on 9/11 affected us just like it affected your neighbor."
Amrou said she feels "really excited" for Matheney to discuss what he observes in Guantanamo with the prosecution, defense council and representatives from other nongovernmental organizations.
"Talking to them is single-handedly the best part of the trip," Amrou said. "These people aren't a second source of information — they deal with the detainees day in and day out. They told us very bluntly and openly about their experiences and that was extremely important and eye-opening for me."
Like Davis, Amrou expressed concerns about the legal precedents that are being set every day in Guantanamo and their implications for the future of American law.
"No matter what your politics are, no one can truly understand what's going on down there unless they're able to witness it firsthand. We're callous and removed," Amrou said. "We know what's happening on a pretty superficial basis, but because it's not in our face day to day we don't understand the impact on our justice system. When we're there, we can't deny it."
Matheney said he and his fellow law students frequently discuss the implications for U.S. law should the 9/11 hearings "translate" into the American court system.
"The scariest thing about Guantanamo Bay is how they're making up rules of a military tribunal as they go along," Matheney said. "Lawyers are scared about what the precedents being set mean for all of us here at home."
Davis said he remembers sitting in the observer box at a trial during his January 2013 trip to Guantanamo. The box's monitor feed suddenly went blank. Forty seconds later it flashed back on. Sometimes the judge will press a button to delay the box's monitor so that observers do not hear classified information. However, the judge had not pressed the monitor control button.
"That's when I realized things are worse than I thought they were," Davis said. "One of the intelligence agencies has a link to the monitor and they control the censorship on classified information, too. So the military judge really isn't in charge of his own courtroom. That's something to think about. Who are the actors off screen and what are their roles in these court proceedings?"
Davis said he remembers sympathizing with the reaction of the judge, who seemed "shocked and angry" that this intervention would happen in a U.S. courtroom.
Like all observers, Matheney will adhere to the daily instructions of a military handler regarding where he is allowed to go, who he is allowed to talk to and what he is allowed to photograph or discuss.
"I'm happy for him because this is such a positive and unique historical experience," said Kendra Matheney, Evan's mother. "It seems to encompass everything that he's interested in — the legal system, human rights and politics. There is that nervous aspect when your kids travel anywhere but it sounds pretty safe to me because he'll be on a U.S. naval base."
Matheney said his classmates have told him that Guantanamo is "super Americanized," complete with an ice cream parlor, shopping center, fast food and a gift shop where you can buy an 'It doesn't Gitmo better than this' T-shirt.
"It's been described to me as one of the most stark lines between heaven and hell," Matheney said. "You can look one direction and see a tropical paradise with beautiful beaches and forests. But it's a harsh dichotomy because 20 feet away is Camp X-Ray, where some of the worst human rights violators have walked."
Matheney will pay for his transportation to and from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland where observers fly out together. However, the U.S. Department of Defense will pay for the rest of his trip, including flights. After returning to the United States, Matheney has the option to write a one-credit research paper about some aspect of his experience.
"I want to give it a fair shake," Matheney said. "I want to give my country the benefit of the doubt. I want to believe we are good people at heart, that we have the world's best interests at heart and that we are hopefully setting good precedents. "We'll see."

For me it's another entry-way into another room of freedom from control. If we truly believe in it, that it means exactly what it says, then for me, it begs the question, why would we want to get in the way to bring correction to someone who God is already working in? Would it not be more effective for us to just stay out of the way and let God work in the lives of all regardless as to whether or not they're living according to our personal standards?Our reflex to the idea of freedom is immediate, but when you start going deeper and begin to see just how far that freedom actually reaches . . .it's a little scary!! Just how free to I want to be? I want to fly . . .great. But what about the other guy? The guy who doesn't seem to measure up. Does he get the same freedom? Or does his freedom only go as far as your comfort zone allows him to go?When I say "you" I'm also including myself in that as well.
I think I'd have to agree cp, at the very least to a certain extent, because I see God as very involved, working things according to the counsel of His will, and ultimately in control.I guess I'd just suggest the 'especially' part of "Savior of all men, especially of those believing". Some choke on this, but I don't mean it in any sort of "better than" way - just different, with the rest to be brought in in the fullness of times. But there are many scriptures that talk of God working in and using many people and things, yet an intimate relationship with His sons - those He has called out for a purpose in this lifetime. For lack of a better way to say it (I'll think about is some more) I almost see it as an external working on all/everything, with an internal working through His Spirit with His Sons and Daughters.However, it's probably actually a really big discussion if we want to start breaking it down, i.e., how much, what exactly, to what end, etc. Good question.
Psalm 37:4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.Not that what I desire is what he gives but that my desires are given of Him.
I see it as a time where God is asking us to rest from all our ways and we are beginning to realize how often we had gotten in His way.The thing I wonder about is the evangelist ...is he still needed?
John 9:1 And, passing along, He perceived a man, blind from birth.2 And His disciples ask Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents that he should be born blind?"3 Jesus answered, "Neither this man sinned, nor his parents, but it is that the works of God may be manifested in him.
Hi Guys,Very good claypot. I agree that God is working in and through all things to bring about his plan that he has prepared from the beginning.To me, this exalts God instead of man which is most often the case. This is a subject that is closest to my heart, oh how I wish everyone could see this. CHB

Unlike what the previous poster believes, this the true name of one of the lead roles in the smash hit game Final Fantasy VII, this may have a connection to the "Mystil" spelling error in the game, supposed to be "Mithril".
just so you know, the character designer for all Final Fantasy gammes since Final Fantasy VII spelt the name aerith on his conceptual designs.

The way that Wapanese Final Fantasy VII fanfags pronounce "Aeris". This is not due to it being her actual name that was somehow mistranslated, but due to every FF7 fan having a lisp.

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over high heat. Add corn, and reduce heat to medium; simmer
until kernels are tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer corn to a plate; let cool. Slice kernels off cobs; place in a small bowl, and set aside (you should have about 1 1/4 cups).
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread tortilla wedges in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; bake
until crisp, turning once, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let cool, and set aside.
Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, juice from 1 lime, cilantro, jalapeno, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium nonstick skillet, brown turkey over medium heat, stirring frequently, until no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Stir in chili powder, cumin, and juice from remaining lime.
Transfer mixture to a large serving bowl. Add lettuce, beans, tomatoes, onion, mango, and reserved corn and tortillas. Toss to combine well. Drizzle with yogurt dressing; serve immediately.

I've read and respected those who think the game is "dead" and are "upset" with CRS. This is a good outlet for that kind of discussion and I respect your opinion. I hope you'll lend me the same respect in this post, where I describe what my draw to the game was in 2001, and still is today in 2013.
First, this is a WAR themed MMO with hints of realism. Of which even today doesn't exist (with reason), and might never again. The game has lasted 11 years and that is a major accomplishment for ANY MMO.
In this post, I'd like to explain some of the appeal to me. This is why I still love this game and will continue to play it.
1: The Community
The WWIIOnline community is like no other I have been apart of. People know each other, have met many members in real life, and formed bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime. Squads have found a side in which they are die hard and refuse to fight against. The developers are very involved in the community and ad memorials to player in game which are done simply as a sign of respect of their customers. That to me, is special.
2: The Scale
WWIIOnline continues to be one of, if not the, largest persistent game maps in the industry. Pretty impressive for a game that was made in 2001.
There are hundreds of towns, all slightly different, and many designed to model after the actual towns.
For those who haven't played and are considering, you can spawn and fly for an hour in one direction, never loading or respawning. It's impressive..
Have you hit the altitude ceiling or gone into a restricted area in Planetside 2? Try to do it in WWIIOnline, it's almost impossible.
3: The Realism
There simply is not another game that comes close to the realism found in this game. I play other FPS games and various WWII titles, all of which fall short of this kind of quality. The damage models alone are impressive, not utilizing HP but instead using full functioning damage models. This means when you shoot at a tank, there are certain weak spots you want to aim for.
When your are engaging a plane, you want to aim for the engine or the pilot.
4: The Skill Gap
The game isn't easy. People to not log on and instantly rank in the top 100 categories of any units. It takes time to master your craft. Players find what they like to do. Players literally become famous for their ability to use certain weapon kits. I'll never forget the first time I shot down a bomber or the first time I saw a tank go up in flames from my anti-tank gun. These are all draws for me, as a player.
5: The Graphics?
You might call me crazy but I think it should be noted. I love the graphics in this game. The progression on the same engine and code work is really fantastic.
The game has transformed from
to rich and immersive graphics like
Games don't always develop the way the players want them too. For many players through this games storied past, the game and company have gone a direction they were not happy with. For me, it's always been a game I venture back to and I have never come close to finding this level of enjoyment in any other games. WWIIOnline will always been on a hard drive until it no longer exist.
Thank you all for reading and happy gaming.

No hit points, no buffs, no artificial multipliers
This game is completely absorbing, a day one player can kill the enemy Commanding General with one shot. WWIIOL is the best game out there, I've been playing for 6 years and even now every session is different, and it still delivers amazing highs and lows that challenge you as a person as much as a twitch player. It's niche, it's not for everyone - as you'll see from the polar opinions.
But if you want a serious challenge, a game unlike the arcadey Diet-Sims out out there then give this a go. It might just consume you the way it has done many others.
SWG > Aces High > WWIIOL
Yes, this game can be frustrating as hell at times.
At other times it can be an unbelievable adrenaline rush.
It's the only game I come back to time and time again, the past 10 years.
If the game angers me, (which a player vs. player will do) I just take a step back for a few days or weeks.
Problem is I'm never away for any long periods of time.
Many games in this genre, may have flashy graphics, but the quality of gameplay just doesn't match this game.
For anyone thinking of trying the game for the first time, don't be persuaded by others bad reviews or agendas.
Have a little patience, join an active squad in your timezone,ask a lot of questions anf formulate your own opinion of the game.
Good luck and S!

I know you're trying to speak to possible subscribers and sell the game in the best possible light. But the primary audience of this forum is past and present subscribers. We already know what the game is about and thanks to the F2P anyone can jump in and see the present state of the game. The audience you should be winning over is the masses on Steam, not this little insular community of grognards.

1- not part of the game. And when you have devs like DOC who belittle the community this detracts from the game.
2-The games scale was great, but 95% of it is unused. How many battles have their been over a hill in the woods? I can tell you the number of times in 7 years that I played the amount of fights, REAL fights in the middle of nowhere between towns not near a FB over some terrain feature was less than the number of fingures on one hand.
3-Realism..... It is good but not good enough. The .50cals had WAY flatter of a trajectory than they do in real life. HE rounds are a joke, and I wont mention bombs. Then we have the HEAT rounds, hahaha. HE was a better light tank killer than the HEAT round.
4-Skill Gap, well you get that in every game.
5- Graphics, well there where they should be for a 5 year old game.
So much crap, so little quality.

Huh I see the fanbois are here xoom must have promised them something maybe put thier names in all upper case or something.
But anyhoo, for those of you who enjoy the game right now, get used to it because its not going to change. No more updates. No more bug fixes. The same exploits that have been in there for the last 2 years will be there until the plug is pulled which must be soon at thier burn rate they have nobody left to lay off.
Maybe the freeloader players as xoom calls them do not stay because they are sick of getting killed by invisible EI or are easy drone targets of bar and other people. Do not be fooled by these fanbois they are here for an agenda. They want the game to go on because they know the freeloaders are easy targets and not aware of the bugs that are used by the veteran players as exploits. So they get used to pad the veterans stats then the go into the forum to brag how great they are compared to the 17 veterans left still playing.
Go ahead and play the game. Go ahead and subscribe if you want just dont say people did not tell you so.
Wow, you guys are quick.
You've already attacked a post less than an hour old.
Are you all the same poster?
I have no agenda. I have only been banned from this game for my conduct in the past. I get nothing out of thise besides watching players like you squirm with rage.

[mod edit]. The scale is large as far as area but fights are now controlled to give perception of a large playerbase and largely controlled by crs team members. It does have real damage models but many are still bugged and do not register the calculated hits correctly (for example hitting some units in the arm and chest registers as a foot hit and has been around FOREVER). As I stated before the sweeping that the skill gap is huge because you are either a day one die hard that cannot let go or a cannon fodder noob that is merely there for targets. Graphics=atari "Pitfall" days.

As you can see, I am a new member to this forum, that is because I saw the thread and wanted to provide a different perspective. I'm a new member to this forum because I am a new player to MMO games. That, in turn, is because at the end of last year, I found wwIIOL… and it is the FIRST game I've ever been able to play. This is an extremely important point. A real online FPS that will play effectively on less than stellar connections that some of are forced to use in rural areas, is nothing short of a needle in a haystack. There are good reasons for it working, some may be things that others consider drawbacks. This point makes the game perhaps one of the best ever for an international audience and for US players on rural connections. Lag is simply less of a factor in this game, I'm impressed with the efficiency of their net code.
There are other reasons. Even back as far as early 2000s, I had tried some games, even console FPS shooters. While I could almost play on an even basis with my network, I had no interest in being in a community of people that act like juveniles. That is nearly every gaming community. BGE has a few and they are vocal, but for the most part, it's a different planet as far as the maturity and teamwork you find in it's players. With BGE, I can expect an evening of tactical teamwork and a stiff opposition of tactical teamwork. That is what I consider immersive, and it's very difficult to not spend 5 to 7 hours a night fully engaged.
The game also rewards playing it in the true spirit of being in military factions. Not all players do that, you are always going to have those who play for k/d, but enough do, that if you operate as a military unit, you will succeed. As an example, in defense, either side will deny the other if enough players acting in role perform the functions you would expect, orderly patrolling, taking responsibility and defending a zone, being a floater who can be ordered to a hot spot etc. You can very realistically see the results of conformance to intelligent standard operating procedures and chain of command. In my opinion, this tendency is one of the most crucial aspects of simulation, and it's not all from game mechanics, but instead that the mechanics foster and reward simulating what real infantry, armor, air and most importantly, individuals, need to be doing.
In about 4 months, I've missed only two nights, both left me in a very bad mood. A good game is one you rapidly prefer over real life, this one decidedly qualifies.
It takes at least a week of hating it before you start being obsessed. At first, you are simply going to die, and you aren't going to know why, it's not for people who think they are hot, you have to be hot. When you start, it's important to remember that your perceptions of what is going on are wrong. Only digging in and playing it will change that, then you get hooked.

This game is one of the Best games I've ever played hands down! The Depth is staggering, whether you are a Tanker,Infantry,Flyboy,Attacker,Defender,or a Leader(High Command), the action can be as intese as anything I've ever played.
No matter what Kind of player you are, there is a role for you in this game and what you do affects everyone who plays to some degree. The Map is Huge, the war is real, and everyone matters, no matter who you are or what you're doing.
This IS a fun game and well worth trying !

Hello, some of you may recognize me. I started playing in 2006 and for several years I couldn't get enough of this game. The only things that stopped me were real obligations with work and college, so I haven't been on much at all in awhile, but continue to support the game. If any of you are looking for an immersive simulation, especially for tanking, this is the game to go with. No other game has tanking gameplay that parallels this; the modelling and accuracy of ballistics and effects exceeds, by some accounts of military tankers, the capabilities of even US army simulators. I myself have spent many weeks worth of hours in the StuG IIIG in support of my teams effort, and I've enjoyed even the calm moments when I have found myself waiting sometimes an hour for a coloumn I suspect will head down a road, just for a minute of that blood-pumping astoundingly exciting engagement at ranges that may exceed a mile. If you want the opposite of the recent CoD and BF games, this is it.

Tuesday, October 9, 2012
The trial of Roger Anthony Williams began Tuesday in Moncks Corner.
Williams – accused of murdering his 2-year-old son Rodricus Fred Williams in 2010 – has maintained his innocence in the case, which captured the attention of the county and state.
The discarded body of the slain child was discovered in Orangeburg County two years ago.
Tuesday morning saw Grace Trotman testify. Trotman was the defendant's live-in girlfriend at the time of the murder. Trotman has pleaded guilty to one count of homicide by child abuse in the case, as well as one count of desecration of human remains.
Trotman testified that the story she and the defendant told the public about a missing child who fell into the water by the Charleston Battery in 2010 was untrue.
Trotman would eventually tell investigators a different version of how the boy died and led them to his body, which was wrapped in trash bags and put inside a trash can filled with cement and dumped in the woods in Orangeburg County near Bowman.
While Trotman is not Rodricus's mother, she and Williams have two other children in common.
Trotman testified on Tuesday that she pleaded guilty on Feb. 16.
She said she's testifying because, "he (Williams) didn't need to get away with it."
"I owed that to Rodricus and I had to get it off my chest," Trotman said.
According to Trotman, Williams would punch Rodricus in the back and the head, and throw his face to the floor.
The night Rodricus died, Trotman said she called Williams at work and he told her not to call 9-1-1 because Rodricus had bruises. She said she didn't call 9-1-1 because she was scared.
Rodricus had officially been missing since July 6, 2010, but forensic investigators later determined he probably died on or around June 6. His body was wrapped in plastic bags, encased in concrete, and left behind a mobile home in Orangeburg County.
The body was so badly decomposed it had to be identified through DNA testing.
Investigators believe Rodricus suffered some medical issue on or around June 6 at the Longbourne Way home in the Sangaree area of Berkeley County, prompting Trotman to call Williams.
Williams allegedly directed Trotman not to seek medical attention for the boy, nor did he do so himself when he arrived at the home later.
A series of events began rapidly unfolding the evening of July 6 at Battery Park in downtown Charleston. At that time Trotman reported to Charleston Police that she saw Rodricus wandering the Battery and said he had possibly gone through the rails and fallen over the seawall into the harbor. An intense search for the boy ensued but was called off the next morning when it was determined that Rodricus had never been at the Battery.
Rodricus was the son of Williams and Shaneeka Washington, of Columbia. The two had made an arrangement for Rodricus to stay with Williams and Trotman at their home on Longbourne Way in Summerville until September 2010.

Under the Lights, who brought Arsenic and Old Lace (1952) and You Can't Take It With You (1936) to the Athenaeum, is
now pleased to invite you to get caught in The Mousetrap (1952), Agatha Christie's tale of murder, mayhem, and
madcap hilarity. Join the guests at snowed-in Monkswell Manor as the persistent Sergeant Trotter
encounters a diverse array of the eccentric and the abnormal as he attempts to glean the truth and expose
the perpetrator of two murders. Motive can be misleading-who is guilty? Is it the forward and macho
Paravicini, or is it the straight-laced and reserved Giles? Perhaps it is the severe Miss Casewell, or maybe the
level-headed Mollie, the least likely of criminals? Please join the cast and crew of The Mousetrap (1952) at the

Moctoberfest is a month-long celebration of Chattanooga Mocs men's basketball. It includes historical moments, social media interactions and introduction to UTC's freshmen among the myriad of video tributes and stories.
Day Five is a video memory of one of the iconic plays in Southern Conference Tournament history. Despite it coming in a loss, Gerald Wilkins' four-point play in the 1984 SoCon Championship game is still talked about especially with the tournament's return to the Asheville Civic Center in 2012.
That game is considered the greatest of all time in the league tournament as Chattanooga and Marshall squared off. The hot-shooting Herd jumped out early and led by 15 at the break.
Down 13 with six-and-a-half minutes to play, the Mocs went on a furious run to cut the lead to two on a Gerald Wilkins jumper with 2:51 to go. UTC couldn't seem to get it back to even and was down 4 after two Laverne Evans free throws gave the Herd an 87-83 cushion with 39 seconds to go.
Enter Wilkins. One of the all-time Moc greats made a play for the ages. He nailed a three-pointer while drawing a foul from David Wade and hit the free throw to tie the game at 87-all and send into overtime.
In a game like this, one overtime just doesn't cut it. Eric Brown hit a triple late in the first OT period to send it to a second tied at 92-all.
The two teams then combined for 34 points over the final five minutes of clock time. Unfortunately, UTC landed on the short end of the 111-107 thriller.
The Mocs led just twice in the game. The first came on the first basket of overtime as Willie White put his squad up 89-87. The second was on Brown's trey at 3:08 in the second extra frame for a 97-96 lead.
Marshall had to play near flawless basketball to win. It shot 60.7 percent (37-61) from the field and 75.5 percent (37-49 ) from the free throw line while committing just 10 turnovers in 50 minutes. The Herd did not attempt a single shot from the new-fangled three-point arc.
UTC however did make six of 14 (42.9%) from beyond the arc with all six coming in the final five minutes of regulation and the overtime periods. White scored 28 points to go with eight rebounds, while Wilkins tossed in 24 including four very special one to provide 10 extra minutes to this instant classic. The Herd's Evans led all scorers with 38 points including a 14-14 effort from the free throw line.
Played in front of a capacity crowd of 6,864, it was an unforgettable game.
Chattanooga opens the season Monday, November 12, against Tennessee Temple in McKenzie Arena at 7 p.m. Season tickets for a school-record 18-game home slate are available. Call 266-MOCS (6627), go online here at GoMocs.com or stop by the Gate One McKenzie Arena Ticket Office.

It's 2012, and if the conspiracy theorists are right and the world does end in a few days, well, at least we got a great year of games out of it. Here at Forbes, we found deciding just which were the best to be a difficult task. But in the end, after a lot of thought, we managed to narrow it down to five games. (Okay, six, but third place was a tie).
Without further ado, here are our picks for the best video games of 2012.
5. Mass Effect 3
Okay guys, we already know that putting this on the list will raise hackles, so take your fingers off the hate mail triggers, and bear with us. Obviously, the most controversial part of Mass Effect 3 is the ending, which caused an enormous amount of fan backlash and led Bioware to create an extended cut of the ending and subsequent DLCs partially altered the endings as well.
As Erik Kain noted, "it's a testament to player investment in the story that the ending has proved so rabidly divisive."
We're not going to sit here and pretend that Mass Effect 3 had a perfect ending, but despite the ending, there are a lot of great things about the game. Curing the Genophage, re-uniting the Quarians and the Geth, the excellent combat system and the gorgeous music were among the things that Alex Knapp said he loved.
The bottom line, as Paul Tassi writes, is this: "How much weight can you give an underwhelming ending? Is it enough to make you forget the 98% of an incredible game that came before it? Up until the closing moments, Mass Effect 3 was the best game in the series, resolving many longstanding plot points in a way that created some of the most powerful emotional moments in gaming. It's unfortunate the ball was dropped for the ending, and it was confusing as it completely went against everything that came before it in all three games, but despite how bad it was, it's not fair to dismiss the game in its entirety because the writers fell asleep in the closing moments."
4. Halo 4
"This is a gorgeous game," writes Paul Tassi. "Halo has never really made you want to write home about the scenery, but 343 has done a masterful job updating absolutely everything about the look of the game." It has "an entirely new level of graphical polish, exceeding anything the series has shown us before," says Dave Thier. It's "one of the best looking games to date on the Xbox 360," gushes Erik Kain.
"Some of the action was absolutely astonishing," writes Carol Pinchefsky when she first saw a demo of the game. "The intensity, the flow, the precision at which the enemies struck—none of it compared to the moment when O'Connor, at the controls, tossed a grenade at an enemy, only to see our opponent pick the grenade up and fling it right back at us."
The fourth game in the venerated Halo series may not have reinvented itself; it may be a "game for Halo fans more than anyone else," as Thier writes, but it has at its heart a beautiful love story. "It's the relationship between Master Chief and Cortana that makes this game special," says Pinchefsky. "No matter what happened, they took care of each other."
Even if the single-player campaign might not be to everyone's liking, the multiplayer should be. "In Halo 4, multiplayer is at its prime," says Erik Kain.
The bottom line? Paul Tassi says, "In the end, is it fun? Yeah, it's fun."
3. (tie) Far Cry 3
"Far Cry 3 is Ubisoft's near-perfect rendering of a tourists' blood-soaked vacation to a brutal paradise," Dave Thier writes. "It's a first-person shooter, it's an open-world game, it's a trip to a fully realized and endlessly captivating tropical nightmare."
"If you ever wondered what Assassin's Creed III would be like if it were a first-person shooter set in a jungle island full of maniacs, well Far Cry 3 is here to help," writes Erik Kain.
In other words, the gorgeous vistas and brilliant open-world gaming make Far Cry 3 a worthy entry in the franchise, and an obvious selection for one of the best games of 2012.
3. (tie) X-COM: Enemy Unknown
Eleven years passed between X-COM: Enforcer and X-COM: Enemy Unknown, but they were eleven years that resulted in "one of the most addictive games to come out in 2012," says Erik Kain. The turn-based strategy game was thoughtfully put together by Firaxis, even in its XBox version.
"Navigation is surprisingly competent on the Xbox 360 controller," says Jason Evangelho. "It even borders on intuitive. I found myself adopting a muscle memory for the console version much faster than the PC version."
"It's the video game equivalent of a page-turner, a game so impossibly difficult to put down that you'll want to clear your schedule entirely before plugging in. You'll want to bid adieu to sleep and loved ones," warns Kain.
2. The Walking Dead
Telltale Games' lean, episodic adaptation of the comic book series and hit TV show The Walking Dead was a favorite of virtually the entire Forbes games team. Hearkening back to the adventure games of yesteryear, this game nevertheless manages to capture a great deal of story and character that stand up to repeated playthroughs. It's "gaming almost as theater," writes Daniel Nye Griffiths.
Jason Evangelho elaborates, "It's no minor accomplishment that Telltale manages to craft characters dripping with humanity from the framework of a fictional apocalypse. Characters we empathize with; characters we loathe, love, admire within minutes. Whether you call it an adventure game or 'interactive fiction,' The Walking Dead makes a compelling case for games as art, and the studio sets a high benchmark for digitally delivered, episode content."
The bottom line? "Decidedly more George Romero than Zack Snyder, it makes a refreshing change from the glut of fast-paced, head-exploding zombie shooters (although the gore is plentiful and uncompromising, and the language realistically adult)."
And the official Forbes game of the year is…

Rated 4 out of 5Â by KATIERAIDER great shirt !!!! I was a bit nervous ordering this because it was called a "slip" I ordered the S because I am usually an XS in tunic tops but this looked a bit more fitted. When i got it it was wonderful !!! I ordered the black and it is a true mesh with the designs on it, but it is not flimsy. I LOVE it, but did hove to return for XS. I am 5;3" and this is too short to wear as a dress...looks wonderfull with skinnys, boots and any color cami you want to wear underneath 11.9.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bellaw pretty in pink This is a lovely textured mesh. Great quality. It will look lovely with a lace trim slip underneath. I think it will be a good look with tights and long boots or jeans tucked into boots. This is true to size and has a bit of sretch. Slightly A line but not too loose. Glad I got this one especially at the sale price. The black is a possibility for winter as well!!!! 2.7.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by kaht kinda cheap So I purchased the pinkish color and was a little disappointed... it's cute but It does look a little cheap in person. The embroidery is more salmony and not the soft pink pictured and the fabric has a yellow tinge. The sleeves are super cute though, the fabric is stiff so it hangs well. I sized up and can wear it as a dress instead of a tunic. Overall I might suggest waiting for it to go even more on sale. 1.27.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by AshleyK Well darn it! Very cute top, but my shoulders are way too wide for this! I wish I could wear it, as the fabric is super soft and it's a great length (I'm 5'4" and it hit at my upper thighs). Just a warning, I guess if you have wide shoulders. 12.6.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by dallasdiva False Advertising Wish I'd read the reviews before purchasing. The site says "lined" plain and clear. I bought this specifically because I'm done buying sheer items and being on my own to figure out a layering option. Surprise! No lining. The review that mentions this is dated 11-3, it's now the 27th. Why does the site still say "lined"? Beyond that, the material is a bit too "mesh-y" for my liking. It's going to rip... easily. The pictures look a bit more substantial than reality. The fit is TTS (for FP). If between, I'd go up as the shoulders are off a bit and the arms are on the tight side. I'm returning this. 11.27.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by piyakumar love it but with reservations Beautiful tunic. Looks exactly as it appears in the picture. Dont understand why its called a slip, as it is basically a sheer tunic. It has NO lining. You will need a slip underneath. I am 5'0 and a Sm hits me an inch above the knee. Taking one star off because of incorrect description regarding lining. Nevertheless worth buying. 11.3.2012

Cornett: LGBT community welcomes Legends and Mojo, bids farewell to OUTSKiRTS, Ripcord, BlushWritten by Rick Cornett | | firstname.lastname@example.com
As the old saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The Toledo LGBT community is undergoing some major changes within its social scene at three local bars.
Toledo's only lesbian bar, OUTSKiRTS, will close for good May 17, leaving a void in Toledo and the surrounding area. The next closest lesbian bar is Stilettos, in Inkster, Mich. OUTSKiRTS opened July 19, 2008, on Laskey Road in the building that once housed Gilda's lesbian bar. Gilda's had a three-and-a-half year run before OUTSKiRTS moved in. In July of 2011 OUTSKiRTS moved to its current location at 5040 Lewis Ave. in West Toledo. Owners Lexi Staples and her mother, Johanna Staples, said they are proud of their six-year run with OUTSKiRTS but they are ready to move onto other ventures.
Lexi and her partner are planning to get married and want to have a baby this year. Recently, Lexi was hired by the Collingwood Arts Center as office manager and events coordinator and she still serves as the president for Toledo Pride Foundation and is director of Pride Center 419. Best of luck to Lexi as she continues to serve the local LGBT community with a spirit that is unmatched. We thank you for OUTSKiRTS and all the fun times that created many memories and friendships.
Back in February, the Ripcord bar at 115 N. Erie St. and connecting Blush Showbar were sold by owner Terry Hymore. New management is now in place until all the legalities are finalized and the new management takes ownership.
Major changes are underway to revamp and rename both bars as they remain gay establishments.
On March 29, Blush Showbar threw a farewell party ending its four-year run as Toledo's only drag club. It was announced at the closing that the new name will be Legends Showclub and it will continue on as a drag performer venue.
Many exciting things are planned for this new contemporary club, which is upscale, inviting and warm. The club is decorated in hot pink against a black background, with all new tables with black leather padded seats, chrome accent lighting focused on the new stone bar top, new dressing rooms for the performers, newly remodeled restrooms and updated sound and lighting systems.
New bartenders Brent Rabie and J.R. Jones are young and energetic faces ready to welcome the new customers who will make this the premier drag venue in Northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan. The showclub also features new televisions, allowing video enhancement capabilities for the performers, club TV and movie nights plus a house DJ.
Once a month Legends will offer Racy, Raunchy Drag Queen Bingo with all proceeds going to a local charity. A new selection of draft craft beers and margaritas "on tap" have been added, plus specialty cocktails inspired by the legendary Marilyn Monroe. Legends Showclub opened to the public April 10 with a big grand opening weekend featuring entertainers from "RuPaul's Drag Race" TV show. Legends will be open Thursday through Saturday evenings from 8 p.m. to 2:30 a.m. with shows starting at 11 p.m. presenting national, regional and local drag entertainers. Sunday evenings will feature an early show at 8 p.m. with doors opening at 7 p.m. Reservations are accepted for large groups by calling (567) 315-8333 and there is usually no cover charge except for special events and fundraisers.
Now that Blush has been revamped into Legends, the new management will start to focus on transforming Ripcord into a new bar named Mojo. The next phase of the renovation will concentrate on the patio area, giving it a face-lift just in time for summer.
Both bars will receive new fronts, giving them much-needed curb appeal that they currently lack. By midsummer they plan to close the Ripcord side and start a heavy renovation to update the dark and outdated bar. Once completed, the new complex will be the hot spot in Toledo for the LGBT community and allies.
With growing mainstream acceptance of LGBT people, gay bars not only in Toledo but around the world are quickly vanishing from a culture that once heavily depended on them as their only social outlet with other LGBT people. A sluggish economy and smoking bans have hurt the gay bar scene. The Internet, cellphones and all the other social media outlets today have also contributed to the gay bar slump. Young gays and lesbians today feel less threatened going into straight bars with allies and socializing beyond the gay bar scene.
Besides Legends Showclub and Ripcord becoming Mojo, Toledo currently has two other bars serving the LGBT community. Bretz at 2012 Adams St. opened in 1987 and is Toledo's oldest gay bar still in operation. R House bar at 5534 Secor Road in West Toledo opened in 1995 and operates seven days a week.
Uptown in Bowling Green goes gay every Tuesday night with drag performances.
The number of Toledo gay bars peaked in the early 1970s and many have come and gone over the years, including Caesar's, Box Office, Key West, Scaramouche, Old Plantation, Silver Slipper, Westgate Lounge, Joshua's, Gay Pussy Cat, Pendulum, Scenic, Copacabana, Twilight Zone, Club 1901, Blendz, Club Distractions, Warehouse, Club Escape, Blu Jeans, Hooterville, Ivanhoe, Rustler, Club Bable'on, Fascination, Madison Bistro, Camelot, Seahorse and the very short-lived Adamz Lounge that opened last year and closed within three months.
Legends Showclub and Mojo will be a breath of fresh air for the local LGBT community and we welcome you! For the latest news on Legends Showclub and the progress of Mojo, follow them on Facebook.
Rick Cornett is a historian, activist and promoter of the Toledo LGBT community serving on the Holiday with Heart Charity and Toledo Pride committees.

Apple Hiring Gaming Engineer for iPhone Team
Apple is looking to hire an experienced multimedia engineer for the iPhone and iPod touch, who's a passionate gamer and has shipped at least one "AAA" game in the last few years.
While first-party titles are a mainstay, and main point of attraction for dedicated gaming platforms like Nintendo (Mario), Microsoft (Halo), and Sony (Little Big Planet), so far all Apple has offered its "funnest iPod ever" is Texas Hold'em back in 2007.
Just what could Apple be brewing now? Anyone imagine what a first-party Apple gaming franchise could be?

Apple Hiring Gaming Engineer for iPhone Team
If it's just acting as a controller for something being output to AppleTV then you can usetge entirety of the screen and the compass/accelerometer and not care- that's the comment above that I was addressing. Do you have hardware controls that can turn into dfferent hardware controls as needed? No? Then by definition the device that can mimic any control setup is probably more versatile. As fun to use? Not in all cases, but definitely more versatile. Arnold Terminator vs. Liquid Metal T-1000.
Um...the thing is...you don't need it to "transform" and such because the actual controller can be made to do anything you want.
Who picks up a controller for a Wii/PS3/360 and go, "Dang, I can't use analog if I wanted or digital" =|
And Wii even one ups it by having the option of full motion with most games. With PS3 and 360 of course trailing behind.
There's nothing innovative that Apple can do in the game market.
They set it afire with making the iPHone/iPod a good gaming device. But it won't penetrate past that.
Maybe they aren't going to launch their own gaming titles.
Maybe they just realized they have nobody on staff who can even speak the same language as Carmack and the other big-name gamers, and wouldn't know a triangle mesh if it bit them in buss.
If you read the blogs, those guys have been begging for Apple to beef up it's API set so that really good games need not be so limited, or so slow and fugly.
"Um…the thing is…you don't need it to "transform" and such because the actual controller can be made to do anything you want."
Right, as long as "what you want" == havethe physical buttons that it already has. Look, I'm no saying it's going to replae consoles - I love my console and even more I love my PC gaming. I'm also - and I'm repeating myself here - not saying thatbits ideal or every situation. But... as with mp3, the FLIP Mino and a million other things "good enough" can outsell ideal for a lot of uses and situaions. There was a recent WIRED article that wbt into great depth pnthe subject. I agree with Icebike, also - Apple met with Carmack a while back and realized they didn't have anyone who could, as JC did, walk in and say immediately - "Well, this this and this are where we are going wrong.".
I agree with Icebike. Can a one man job be just for developing games or is it to help developers develop games.
We will probably see the result of his work in March when the 4.0 beta is revealed. Deffinately new game APIs are comming. Maybe some that will allow for a addon gamepad controler to work across all game apps
I hope icebike is right. A single public engineer from a public job posting on the iPod/iPhone team is not going to help them pump out quality first party game titles.
A dedicated engineer inside Apple working with game developers to improve game-related APIs and platform issues -- now THAT could give the iPhone the sort of credibility and developer relations the Mac lacked and which banished the Mac to 15 years in a gaming wasteland.
Unfortunately, the job description does not read that way :(
It does make sense that This person will not be designing games but making api for the games. In order to make games that can compete with what is already in the app store such as doom and cod you would need a team of engineers and even experience. Apple doesnt have intentions on making a game, just making games on the iphone that much easier, This also leads to one more thing thought. Apple has plans to make their other products better at gaming, they wouldnt just do it on the iphone and nothing else.
Apple's Mac Pro computers were a prime candidate for automation, with their long life cycles and relatively stable demand, which meant the same production line could be used for a long time without requiring an overhaul. The company brought some Mac Pro production lines back to the U.S. this year following political pressure to reduce reliance on China-based contract manufacturers who have come under fire for labor practices.
But the bulk of Apple's products can't be adapted to automated assembly lines quite so easily. All of Apple's iPhones and iPads are still assembled in China, and are not likely to move out in the near-term, analysts say.
Which brings us to engineers. Apple's close cooperation with suppliers to develop new products means that it is wedded to its supply chain in China. It needs engineers and managers on the ground to continuously monitor developments at its component suppliers and manufacturers. And as it plans a wider array of products, it needs more engineers in China than ever before and has been aggressively trying to hire them in Shanghai and Taipei.

Eating My Way Around Puebla, Mexico

THE COLORFUL MEXICAN city of Puebla offers more than enough to keep a visitor enthralled over the course of a long weekend.
If you're smart, however, you'll arrange a much longer stay.
Puebla is a great place to stop and smell whatever's cooking in the local restaurant's cazula.
Take time to sip tequila bandera-style as you watch kissing couples cruise the Zócalo (Pubela's central square).
Here are a few highlights from my recent visit to the home of such classic dishes as mole poblano, chalupas, cemitas and chiles en nogada.
El Mural de los Poblanos is located within walking distance of the Zócalo.
As the name El Mural suggests, the restaurant features vibrantly painted art works–including a new Cinco de Mayo-themed piece. Service is friendly and well-paced.
Owned by the president of the Puebla chapter of the national restaurant association (Luis Javier Cue de la Fuente), El Mural's staff offers guests drinks from a rolling Mezcal cart.
In addition to Mezcal (a distilled drink made from the maguey plant–a form of agave), El Mural's wine selections include Barón Balché (well-regarded for intensely flavored reds).
The kitchen sends out colorful dishes topped with crispy, purple sweet potato chips or painted with Mexican flag-colored sauces.
Dessert was a highlight –molten cake oozing rich chocolate goo – and a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream – served on a sleek alabaster platter.
IF YOU'RE READY to try less traditional Mexican food (including riffs on Thai, Japanese, French and Greek cuisine), take a ten-minute cab ride from downtown to Chef Angel Vázquez's hip intro.restaurant.
If you time it right, the restaurant will be rocking – the house DJ spins tunes as innovative as the chef's fusion cuisine.
Dining here on separate occasions, I devoured two dishes that rank at the top of what I've eaten in my lifetime
1) Red snapper sashimi with fava bean puree, crispy artichoke hearts and lemon conserve and,
2) Shrimp breaded with chicharrón (Mexican-style pork rinds).
The combo of textures and taste in Chef Vázquez's sashimi has already influenced my home cooking — I whipped up a poached salmon with lemon butter and artichokes last night.
I can't wait to play with the idea of pulverized chicharrón coating anything from chicken breasts to lobster tails or bay scallops.
Puebla is home to hundreds of historic churches, excellent museums, Talavera pottery makers and unique sites like Barrio del Artista and the Ciudad Mural in Barrio Xanenetla.
If you're food-obsessed, like me, however, you'll be more excited about getting your hands dirty!
Intro Restaurant's talented chef offers fun, hands-on classes in mole truffle making — and you can eat your coursework while sipping a glass of full-bodied, red Mexican wine.
If you're more of a traditionalist, Chef Alonso Hernández Juárez of Mesón Sacristía de la Companía Cooking School (located in downtown Puebla) offers basic Mexican cooking classes where you can bone up on the classics including chiles en nogada.
Hotel La Purificadora has an upper floor bar overlooking the convention center and parts of the Church of San Francisco (best seen at sunset).
One of the attendees at a recent conference nicknamed this trendy bar/hotel "La Snob-afidoria."
If you can get past the off-putting reception and service, La Purificadora's open-air bar serves killer cocktails including cucumber-jicama or Hyacinth margaritas.
If you're staying at the hotel, don a bikini and swim a few strokes in the bar's tiny lap pool (or veg out – for all to see — in the jacuzzi).
Although Hotel Puebla Antano's ground floor lobby bar is sedate, the second floor open-air bar is party zone central at night. (Potential hotel guests should keep this in mind when looking for a quiet place to sleep.) Views of the city at sunset make the relaxed, couch-filled space a pleasant place to hook up with friends before heading out to dinner.
Calle de los Dulces is the place to go if you have a weakness for candies, cookies and sweet liquor.
Only a few blocks long, this "Sweets Street" is home to at least a dozen sellers of Tortas de Santa Clara (tarts made with lard-based pastry topped with sugar glaze), piggy-shaped molasses cookies (cochinitos), sweet potato candy (camote) vendors and rompope distributors (with many offering free tastings).

Here's what a deep-fried iPhone and iPad look like
A new York Arist by the name of Henry Hargreaves has recently unveiled a new installation appropriately dubbed Deep Fried Gadgets, featuring an iPhone and iPad coated in greasy goodness. Unlike some people, artists don't have much of a budget for destroying gadgets, so the ones in this exhibit are just scale models, but it could have easily fooled me. Other subjects include a Macbook, iPod, Game Boy, and an external hard drive. Even if they aren't real gadgets, what could possibly compel someone to toss gadgets to the deep fryer? Hargreaves explains:
I'm really interested in cultural mash-ups; what results when two things that usually wouldn't talk do, and what the outcome is... I liked the unlikely connection between electronics and fast foods: how they are fetishised, consumed and then discarded.
This is reflected in some of his other work, including celebrity portraits made of toast and fancy typography made from bacon. While Deep Fried Gadgets isn't as controversial in the art world as, say, a taxidermied cat turned into a helicopter, it's good to see artists getting creative with their iPhones and and iPads, and not just by using apps on the devices to do their work. Just a few days ago, a promising new project aimed to create composite images by having a bunch of iPad owners coordinate with one another and pose under a camera.
So, who's hungry?

Here's what a deep-fried iPhone and iPad look like
You're comment, unlike those burned up gadgets, is art.
I cannot believe how low artists have gotten these days. A deep fried gadget? Are you kidding me? Even a retard can do that, you virtually need no skill and can do it with a minimum amount of work.
Plus, it doesn't mean or say anything, it doesn't express anything. The amount of hype this received is even more absurd then the fact that it's called art.
Seriously. What is or isn't art is debatable, but this is clearly crap.
clearly this is a stab at the fact that americans spend billions on consumer electrionics, especially apple products, and the artist is comparing that with the digusting fried nature of fast food, which is pushed on us in advertising just as heavily.
americans are stereotypically fat stupid consumers who buy what they are told, whether its fried crap fast food, or the new iphone, and the artist is making fun of that.
by not recognizing this you have proven your ignorance, and validated the artist point in making this work.
ummmmm.... this is art? I wonder how many of my hard earned tax dollars went to this load of crap. :/
I can't wait to try one of these when the state fair opens in the fall! Much better than fried butter!
stupid and not very creative. I rank this with dropping one out of a window.
If you guys were reading this right it said that it was a fake iPhone made from food. Do you not see how the iPhone looks like a chocolate cookie type thing? One of those napolitan ice cream sandwiches?
And I quote "so the ones in this exhibit are just scale models, but it could have easily fooled me. Other subjects include a Macbook, iPod, Game Boy, and an external hard drive. Even if they aren't real gadgets, what could possibly compel someone to toss gadgets to the deep fryer? "
See? No need to get your panties in a bunch it's all fake fried gadgets -_-
It's about time Apple is doing something about this. I can't even count the number of new "ultrabooks/zenbooks" that look exactly like the MacBook pro. They blatantly rip off the aluminum body/color scheme and even have the nerve to use black keyboards that bear a more than casual similarity to Apple's notebooks.
As far as the "Apple can't innovate so they litigate" BS so many people talk about on these blogs... In all honesty, if "other" companies would actually take the time to "innovate" themselves and stop blatantly ripping off someone's else's designs Apple wouldn't waste the money to apply for patents like this. They could save all those legal fees and put those resources towards other areas of R&D. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I mean... How many of Apples current products "borrow" liberally from other gadgets/electronics on the markets? I don't see companies rushing to copy any of HP or Acer's product designs. Why? Because nobody cares about their stuff. The truth is, Apple's products are widely successful in part because of the time and care they take in fine tuning their products. Until some other company steps up and really starts to "innovate" I don't blame Apple one bit. If you were in their shoes you would do the same thing.
Lastly, before everybody starts to rip this comment with "iSheep" and "Fanboy" remarks I can assure you I swear no allegiance to any of these tech companies. In my opinion, they are all out for the money. But, it still doesn't change the fact that in recent years Apple has been one of the most copied/emulated companies in the world. After a while, we'd all get sick and tired of people "ripping" off our designs. Unfortunately, the only way they can stop this from happening is to maximize their protection using the tools available to them under the current system in place.
It's easy to bash someone else when your at the bottom of the totem pole. Instead, try to remeber all the hard work and resources that go into designing these things. If you do that, you wouldn't blame them either.
Oh... Here come the "trolls." haha
Who's 'A new York Arist' at all? Or is there a bunch of typos?

Hello all,
Today around the time that my 24 hour protein check was almost complete I started having some sharp pains on my right side. Nothing strong enough to make me bend over in pain. The location that hurts off and on in directly under my right breast towards my side. It feels like it's my ribs that are hurting. The part of my ribs just under my breast. Right quadrant pain ia a worry, but I'm wondering if this counts. It's a sharp-ish pain that generally only lasts for a few seconds. And most of the time when I switch positions it goes away completely. I have been EXTREMELY gassy today, so I'm wondering if that could be a culprit. My 24 hour came back with a protein count of 210, so it's high, but not at the limits yet. My BP is fine, and I had a full panel of labs checking liver and such on Friday at about 3 am in the morning. They came back fine. I'm really hoping that my pain isn't even in the right spot, but now I'm all concerned that things could have gone south at the tail end of my hospital stay. Would a liver test be fine at 3am, only to start having problems a little over 24 hours later? But most of all, is my ribcage, directly under my right breast even the location of URQ pain? Or is it normally closer to the top of the uterus? I have been having terrible heartburn, but that's nothing new. I've been suffering from it for about 4 months.
