Glitchy/No Support
In this game you have three wishes (lives). Unfortunately, when I get to my third wish, the screen goes black and all the action goes on in the dark. It's amazing how much progress you can make just pressing where you know the buttons are. After I die, the only way I can see the screen again is to close the app and restart. There is no support for this game. The App Support button takes you to the a|s website where you are greeted by nothing more than a stale FAQ and no way to contact anyone.
I wish I could say something positive, but I just can't get far enough to tell you any more. Save your money.
Music won't play
One of the great things of gameplay ( especially for this game) keeps on crashing. I'm not sure what is causing the music to crash, but it ruins the rest of the experience. What is the point of downloading and paying for different songs if the songs won't play during gameplay?
I like RUA2 than than the original RUA, but in order to get the full gameplay experience, I had to revert to the original RUA.
Hopefully, this will be something you can fix with the next update.
Addicting App!!!
A lot of you are saying that Robot Unicorn Attack 2 is better; I agree. But the reason why the game is crashing for you guys is because you seem to have an older ios device. I have an iPhone 4S, and it works perfectly; music and all! Get a more recent model and then get the game!

SmackDown: If Your Drunken, College-Age Daughter Goes Back to a Guy's Room, Does it Indicate That She Wants Sex?
Filed under: Opinions
Stop Saying Women Asked to be Raped.by Amy Hatch
The debate over date rape is raging again, thanks to a provocative column by a student journalist at American University in Washington, D.C.
Author Alex Knepper says co-eds who get drunk and go home with a boy are "indicating that they want to have sex."
Yes, young Knepper says your daughter asked to be raped. She asked to be sexually assaulted. She asked for sexual intercourse simply because she had the poor judgment to drink too much alcohol at a party and pick the wrong boy to go home with.
In an interview with the CBS "Early Show," Knepper defends his viewpoint and declares that more often than not, the young lady in question wakes up the next morning, regrets her inebriated decision to have sex, and then cries date rape.
As the mother of a daughter, I am outraged. As a former college student who drank her share of grain-alcohol punch, I am outraged. As a woman who knows too many women who have suffered through sexual assault and the never-ending emotional aftermath, I am deeply, deeply outraged -- and you should be, too.
The most surprising part of Knepper's attitude is that he is an openly gay man. As someone who is part of a segment of our society that is often derided, devalued and abused, I would expect more compassion from him. And his new expression of the old "she was asking for it" excuse is a slippery slope, indeed.
According to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network, there were 248,300 reported sexual assaults in the United States in 2007, the most recent year for which data is available. On top of that, college-age women are four times more likely to be sexually assaulted.
Still think date rape doesn't happen? How about this little fact: Approximately 73 percent of victims know their attacker.
True, women of all ages need to exercise caution. It's my job to teach my daughter that she has personal responsibility and that taking risks can lead to dangerous outcomes. It also is my job to teach my son to respect a woman's body and that no means no. We still live in a culture that encourages men to think of women as sexual objects for the taking. Parents -- and especially mothers -- need to start teaching their sons to see women as whole people, and not just as pleasure objects.
That means talking openly about what they see in the media, modeling respectful behavior for them at home and acting swiftly and surely to stop any signs of that attitude in our young men.
Parents also need to educate their daughters about the sexual culture and their role in it, and encourage them to speak up when their rights are being violated. Stop warning women not to get raped and start telling our sons that no woman has ever asked to be sexually assaulted, no matter what she was wearing, who she was with, where she was or how much alcohol she had to drink.
Susan and I want to know what you think. Join in on the debate in the Comments section below.
Face It: You Get Wasted, You Get Stupid.by Susan Avery
Cyndi Lauper sang a cute little intro to one of her songs back in the '80s, where she opined about her boyfriend's smarts: "He goes to college and gathers knowledge. Oh, what that boy knows."
That's what occurred to me when I heard Alex Knepper, a junior at American University in Washington, D.C., defend his student newspaper column wherein he writes that women who have drunken sex shouldn't cry about it later.
His exact statement: "Any woman who heads to an EI party as an anonymous onlooker, drinks five cups of the jungle juice, and walks back to a boy's room with him is indicating that she wants sex, OK?" (For the record, I have no idea what EI stands for, but let's pretend it doesn't mean anything more than a typical college frat fest -- Epsilon Iota, perhaps?)
Why would this statement be considered insulting to women? If anything, it's a wake-up call to reality. (I find it curious that he uses the term "woman," followed by "boy," but that's for Mr. Knepper to parse on his own time.)
If a college-age woman chooses to get smashed at a party, then she's also choosing to give up good decision-making. You can't separate the two. You drink, you don't think clearly. It's the beauty and the curse. That's how alcohol rolls.
And, as any high-schooler knows from time spent in health class, five drinks is a lot. Too much, in fact, to make any decisions that could have life-altering consequences.
As I watched the college student make his point on national TV this morning, I wondered where my teenage daughter stood on this issue.
"I agree with him," she said.
Thank God.
Trust me, she didn't say it for my benefit. I have a daughter who will readily disagree given the opportunity.
But she, a non-drinker to this point, knows that you don't go home with someone when you're drunk unless you want to have sex. It's really that simple.
Knepper uses the word "indicating" perfectly. If the woman is willingly going to the guy's room, and not objecting, that would seem to indicate that she wants to get it on.
However, if somewhere along the way -- or once the fluorescent-bright, dorm-room reality hits -- she verbalizes otherwise, then that's more than an indication and the change-of-heart should be respected.
Now, to be clear, unlike Knepper, I do believe there is such a thing as date rape, a heinous crime that, sadly, is under-reported. Knepper calls it "an incoherent concept. There's rape and there's not rape," he writes.
Sorry, college boy, but life is not black and white, and rape can happen when one is on a date. It's the gray areas that require our sensitivity, maturity and willingness to move past knee-jerk "it-is-or-it-isn't" responses. On this one, he gets a F. (I was a college instructor, so I'm allowed to give him a grade.)
But when it comes to understanding how lust and alcohol and decision-making work, Knepper gets an A in my book.
Class dismissed.

As a rape survivor and feminist who marched to keep Roe v. Wade intact, the ERA to get passed and has seen the young women of America take apart every stride we made to have women be judged on our ability not our looks, I have to say there is a very large grain of truth in the young man's unfortunately worded belief.
Did I deserve to get raped? No. Did I want to get raped? No. Did I know I was with the wrong people, doing the wrong things, putting myself in the wrong situation? Yes.
I am responsible for my safety. I am responsible for my outfit. I am responsible for my alcohol and drug intake. I am responsible for my actions. I had a part.
I have seen young women on Girls Gone Wild and it breaks my heart. I live in LA and what young women wear is appalling. I look at music videos and it breaks my heart. Women now accept being degraded as an honor. We marched, we laid down our lives, our futures, our families to get today's young women respect and freedom and rights and they throw it all away so they can feel sexy or popular or important. Women today use their sexuality as currency in the most degrading, disgusting ways I've ever seen.
Men are responsible for their actions: rape is a crime of violence. We lobbied to get that straight in the US Supreme Court. It's not a crime of passion, that's for sure.
Do women get date raped through Roofies? Yes. Do women get jumped, beaten, tortured, raped in the most heinous ways at any and all ages? Yes. Is that their fault. Hell no. But that is not what this young man is talking about. Sadly, he is also not talking about men taking responsibility for their actions, their beliefs, their lack of accountability. It takes two to turn this situation around.

I was drunk last night reading this story and fell asleep shortly after. When I awoke I felt my rights as a male were verbally raped by Amy Hatch's story. I will be reporting this to the authorities.
4-04-2010 @ 10:15AMnoksutau said...
Simple and fair solution: If two people get drunk and have sex then
the next day both should be charged with rape, right? Both were
guilty of not being able to consent so punish both parties. Or, if
just one is intoxicated then charge the other,very simple,fair.
Remorse is no justification to destroy a life. If you get in a car
when drunk and then drive men and women are both convicted
at an equal rate, as they should be, so just keep it EQUAL.
Stupid is as stupid does.
4-04-2010 @ 10:53AMnoksutau said...
Also, I have a question, if a straight girl and a lesbian get drunk
and have sex, who's to blame the next day? In many states
for rape to occur penetration must have been accomplished,
but if they used "toys" does that also qualify? Do we only
charge the lesbian? Take personal responsibility people.
When we get stupid we lessen the impact of real rape and
sadly those women are hurt even more. Morning after remorse
is just that, remorse, not rape and these women who make
poor choices cheapen the act for women who have been violated when they file bogus charges.
4-04-2010 @ 12:15PMabtru said...
What everyone including the young reporter seems to be missing is it is only considered rape under the law if A) One of the parties spoke up and said no before or during the actual act and or used force to try to stop the act from taking place. B) One of the parties was unlawfully drugged (meaning they didn't know that they were slipped something) and unable to consent to the act. C) One of the parties was passed out at the time the act took place (for whatever reason, including drugs or alcohol). Other than any of those listed above then it is just a case of buyers remorse.

I do recall a military case where a superior got drunk and had a three way with a girl and a guy under her command, and the subordinates were charged with rape, and the "victim" was charged with fratinization. I don't remeber the details, but I got the sense that she was charged with frat first and pushed for a rape in an attempt to get out of it. I never heard the out come, but based on the punishments I've seen, chances are her career was ruined, and the others lives were ruined. Thats the sort of thing I think the writer is arguing against. No one but a rapist would agrue that if someone says no, the sex is over, I think its about being charged with rape when both parties are impaired and making bad decisions. Once a guy is charged with rape, even if he is aquited and/or the acusor is proven to be malicious or mentally disturbed,there will alway be people judging him.
4-04-2010 @ 1:27PMTracey said...
As a mother of 3 boys and one college aged daughter, It really ticks me off that the responsibility is put on the girls. Yes, they should make good judgments, but with alcohol judgment is impaired.
As a mother of 3 boys I am teaching them that if a girl has been drinking and is not a girl you have previously engaged in sex with as in not your girlfriend that is NOT the right time to do so. Their is a huge responsibility on the young men not to act on every urge or take advantage of a young woman who is impaired.
4-04-2010 @ 7:58PMelteepee said...
I find it sad that you would hold your boys to a higher standard than you girl. Is she not expected to be as smart as your boys, or as responsible. Do you believe that her judgment is more impaired by alcohol than your boys would be. Men and women in today's society are supposed to be equal and should share equal responsibility for thier actions while impaired. You should be ticked off that while there are men out there that wait for a drunk girl to come along and sleep with, there are also girls that get drunk and jump on some guy and decide in the morning that they don't want people to think they are a slut and cry rape. THAT IS WHAT THE ARTICLE IS ABOUT, REMORSE DOES NOT EQUAL RAPE. FORCE, ACTUAL OR THREATENED, EQUALS RAPE.

Just a note; in many states, a girl (or guy) cannot legally give consent to sexually activity when under the influence of alcohol
4-10-2010 @ 7:09PMJohn said...
Wow, the ignorance on display here is appalling. Also I bet that's the millionth time someone has uttered that statement - I should get a prize!
So a woman cannot drink, go back to a boys room, and spend time with him doing anything but sex? Wow, way to respect the rights and wishes of someone!
It doesn't matter if you were -stupid- for doing something, that does not justify the other party doing to you what they did.
Car unlocked in a bad part of town? What a stupid jerk right? Too bad the old "but it was waiting to be stolen!" defense doesn't work anymore: so the corollary "but she was asking for it!" isn't going to do you much good either!
Also, this whole "she woke up and regretted it" myth is just that: a total fabrication. Do you know the numbers for falsely reported rapes? they range from 2-8% of all rape cases. Wow, let's heap a giant pile of VictimBlame on the other 98-92% because everyone's most horrific male college anecdote is totally true!- for a hundred people out of thousands!
Also I think people are confused about something: alcohol makes you unable to consent. Everyone knows this. If you're sober, and she's drunk, then you @$%&ing raped her. You took advantage of someone else's vulnerabilities, just so you could get off and not care about the needs of the other person. You cannot jump or bob or weave around this fact, if she's drunk, and you $#&ed her, you raped her. QED.
Does this mean women cannot get tispy and screw someone they don't know, that's their choice to make. But we're talking about someone who is drunk, we all know drunk, where you half remember what just happened five minutes ago and every feeling is one of total unearthly joy - you cannot drive a car, or even perform a keg stand. What makes you think that when the victim wakes up the next day she's just "making up" an attacker?
To end, this is all the logical conclusion of the "she deserved it, boys will be boys" canard. Boys will be Boys wasn't going to be held true for forever, no one thinks they just cannot help it, but most people still believe that women don't want sex, that men want it all the time, and the women are the ones who must be pure bastions of morality. She was drunk, she should have known!
Or maybe She was drunk, he shouldn't have raped her! I like the ring of that better.
I am also suspicious of anyone who calls themselves a feminist and then defends this guy -RDAnn- given that anyone with rudimentary knowledge of this date rape, even the most basic knowledge, would not come out in support of furthering the patriarchy.
4-21-2010 @ 4:12PMSKL said...
So if the woman is drunk she is a victim - whether or not the man is also drunk? No, I think if the man is drunk he should also sue her for rape.

Susan Avery:
i'm just a high school student in 10th grade. but i kinda agree
When girls get drunk (or guys) they do not know what they are getting themselves into or the troubles that will follow them after the "deed" is done. everyone has getting drunk atleast once (myself included) i kissed a boy without any reqards to what may happen in the morning (which when i woke up i remembered nothing of that night) i know that having sex is different from a kiss but its still the same aspect. i had no clue that i have done that. and im sorry but as for your daughter, im sure she has had a few drinks in her life even if it was just one. the point of making it out to seem that girls are "sluts" when they get drunk is something clearly over thought! girls and guys are the same way!!! no matter what happens. the girl doesnt only go to a guy and say give me sex now or else, or vise versa. they both agree to the sex, if someone has been into a postion where they have been "Raped" then im sorry. i have friends who have been. but i still dont understand! its not like you go into a room thinking your gunna play "candy land". you know that once a girl and a guy walk into a room together they will kiss, make out and so on. which will lead to sex.
once again, i dont care who agrees with me or not. i am voiceing my thoughts about "Teen drinking"
It takes two to have sex..
Thank you:

I first heard about Date Rape about ten years ago I think. I was in junior high and a speaker came in about substance abuse. Date rape I remember was his big line, nearly screaming it at the end of every sentence. I used to think holy crap, looking around the arena thinking someone in my grade is getting raped right now. Who is it who would do something like that.
My mom couldn't handle me when I in high school and I was sent to a group home because I had just turned 17 and was too old for a foster home. Women from the local sexual assault trauma center came in and gave a brief class about sexual assault. They told us 1 in 4 women are sexually assaulted in there lifetime. They told us that only 2% of women falsely report a sexual assault. I totally believed them.
Later when I was in the Army, serving overseas in Germany(I have been deployed to Iraq twice), we used to get these classes every quarter about sexual assault/sexual harassment/Domestic Violence. It wasn't really a problem at all in my unit because we were all combat soldiers(there were no women in my job). There were also non stop commercials on AFN(armed forces network).
AFN plays all the major shows including some pay per views to soldiers for free. Because its free they can't show commercials. So they show these awareness commercials. The ones about sexual assault usually shows two drunken soldiers going back to her barracks room. They enter the room and the door closes then it will say something about sexual assault then show the same thing over again where the male soldier opens the door for her then leaves.
These commercials were always at odds with what was really happening. Most female soldiers I knew of were just as promiscous as I was. The german girls were just as sexually promiscous. Some of them would even know who lived in half the rooms in your hallway as your were walking to your barracks room. The culture was party your ass off and since German nightclubs don't close until 5 am, my base was in a college town, and the legal drinking age in Germany is breathing(technically its 16 for beer and wine and 18 for everything else but I have never seen someone carded) the party didn't stop. German culture it seemed to me was party your ass off while young then get married later in your late 20's/early 30's. In fact most German women would remark to me when the subject came up about how we Americans got married so young.
So I told you all of that to tell you this. I was falsely accused of rape. The woman and I were both drunk at the time(btw I don't buy women at bars drinks she got drunk on her own dime) and she was going to be late to work. We had just gotten back from Iraq I was on leave and didn't have work in the morning. There is no such thing as being late in the military, nor is it being drunk and late. There are huge ramifications including an article 15 which is loss of pay, rank and extra duty. Extra duty is the thing most feared, thats cleaning toilets, walkways etc. You start when you get off of work and you stop usually at midnight, just to wake up in 6 hours and do it all over again. It does truly suck and I almost guarantee you won't do whatever it is you did again.
So I thought that was why she said I raped her. This was confirmed a few months later when she made that statement to CID. One part of her statement said something that carrys itself with me everyday, "I didn't think it was going to be a big deal".
So I started doing research and I found out that young women in America are being lied too. There told they can dress the way they want, act like they want, do what they want and nothing bad will happen. In a perfect world this would be true. However we don't live in a perfect world.
Date rape is classified by giving someone a substance without there knowledge that makes them intoxicated. It is not illegal to have sex with a drunk person, however it is illegal to ply them with substances and not take them yourself. For example give a girl a shot of vodka and you take a shot of water. Or have sex with a drunk girl and not be intoxicated yourself. However in almost all cases its a drunk man and woman engaging in consensual sloppy intercourse.
Telling young women that if they were intoxicated they were raped is horrible. I have had some truly wild nights, and waking up the next morning realizing that I had unprotected sex with a woman whose name I don't remember and looked good last night in the dimly lit bar but now looks like she might have herpes is not a good thing. However I never thought any of those women raped me, we both were young and horny and like young people do make stupid decisions.

As an employee of a police department in a college town, I can confirm that rape victims almost always know their attacker, rape is widely under-reported, and usually when the victim is lying it's pretty clear from the beginning. More often than not, the County attorney declines to prosecute because they want an easy conviction. Yes, alcohol is frequently a factor in rape cases, but if a drunk girl (or guy for that matter) gets punched in the face, are we going to say she was asking for it? Even if she calls your mom a fatass, if you punch her, it's assault.
Lest we forget, men are also victims of rape. Does Mr. Knepper believe that a drunk guy going back to another males room is also tacitly constenting to sex? I sincerely doubt it.
4-19-2010 @ 1:07AMCathy said...
Being responsible for you own actions does not make date rape an incoherent concept. What bothered me about the article was that there are no exceptions to the "any woman" as you pointed to Susan, "However, if somewhere along the way -- or once the fluorescent-bright, dorm-room reality hits -- she verbalizes otherwise, then that's more than an indication and the change-of-heart should be respected." The impression the whole article gives me is that sex, ANY sex including date rape, is ok. Again, tacit consent doesn't justify date rape.
So, I agree with both of you. :)
4-20-2010 @ 10:40AMBreez said...
I have a problem with what most people don't seem to be answering this... the girl who goes back to the room after several drinks... and then the next morning says rape... maybe because she was semi-conscious or completely passed out while her clothes are being pulled off the being screwed? does it really matter if they are willing if they aren't conscious? I dunno..thats my personal experience and I get sick to my stomach every time I think of it and have serious issues with guys hitting on me now but maybe its my fault for drinking to much and going back to the room with a guy I had been on a date with because who cares that someone would want to have sex with a nearly lifeless body

Implied consent is not consent - a person has to say yes with words in order to give consent. Both parties are responsible for their drinking behavior and men should not assume and women should speak up.

"A Different Way of Thinking"


text:
Many politicians have breathlessly denounced Missouri Rep. Todd Akin as ignorant for talking about "legitimate" rape victims.
Elizabeth Warren, running for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, tied Akin's remarks to a "large Republican agenda" that seeks to define rape in a way that undermines women's control over their own bodies.
But that partisan card doesn't give her a strong hand, yet. Her GOP opponent, Sen. Scott Brown, after all, was quick to call on Akin to drop his Senate bid after the scandal broke earlier this month.
If Warren really wants to gain ground on this issue, she'll have to do more to set herself apart.
I have two recommendations:
- Ask all states to enact new laws that appropriately redefine rape as penetration without consent.
- Talk about Harvard's dangerous policies on campus rape.
In almost every state in this country, including Massachusetts, rape is defined as penetration without consent plus force. And the force used must be in addition to that which is used to commit the sex act.
If Warren really wants to establish herself as the candidate who cares about women's control over their bodies, she can start calling for all states to enact new laws defining rape as penetration without consent. When force is used, the crime can be called "rape with force."
Vital Clarification
Let's be clear about why this type of legal reform is so important.
If I steal your money without your consent, it's larceny. If I also use force, it's robbery. But if I take your body without your consent, it isn't a crime at all unless I also use force. So much for women's control over their bodies.
Maybe we should just have a crime called "larceny of the vagina." When force is used we can call it "robbery of the vagina." At least then people will compare theft crimes to sexual violence and realize that the law in this country should value the women we love at least as much as the things we own.
Warren has said nothing on this critical issue yet. She has no track record whatsoever of showing concern for the epidemic of rape in this country, where 1-in-4 women will be raped in their lifetime. Nor has she spoken out about our legal system's failure to do anything about it.
Only 2 percent of rapists spend even one day behind bars; a statistic that hasn't changed in 25 years despite the Violence Against Women Act.
These are the most important facts about rape that we should all hope a high-profile female politician such as Warren might raise, especially when someone like Akin creates such a perfect opportunity.

Bearcats and Boxers Play to 1-1 Tie in NWC Soccer
SALEM, ORE. -- Willamette University and Pacific University battled for 110 minutes before the teams finished their Northwest Conference game in a 1-1 double-overtime tie. Willamette moved to 2-5-1 overall, 1-2-1 in the NWC. Pacific ended the game at 5-2-3 overall, 1-0-3 in the NWC.
Nick Forbes (Sr., F, Carbondale, CO/Colorado Rocky Mountain School) of Willamette University scored for the Bearcats at 32:19. WU continued to hold a 1-0 lead at halftime and remained in front until Sean Mills scored for Pacific at 55:54. Neither team scored in the final 34 minutes of regulation or during either of the two 10-minute overtime periods.
The goal by Forbes followed a through pass from midfielder Casey Dineen (Jr., Portland, OR/Jesuit HS) that allowed Forbes to gain control near the top of the penalty area. Forbes moved left and dribbled into the area, where he was met by Pacific goalie Chris Grasso. As Forbes was about to shoot, Grasso lunged for the ball. He deflected it, but Forbes was able to regain control and shoot for the net.
Mills scored the equalizing goal for Pacific on a 26-yard shot from the left side. He placed the ball high into the right side of the goal.
Pacific outshot Willamette 18-10 overall, but held a slimmer 12-9 edge in regulation. The Boxers, who used 19 players during the game, earned a 6-1 advantage in shots during the overtime periods. In regulation, both teams had a couple of additional quality scoring chances, including two shots that hit the post by Willamette.
WU goalkeeper Mark Bennett (Jr., Salt Lake City, UT/West HS) made solid contributions for the Bearcats. He finished with 11 saves overall, and made three or four saves on solid strikes by the Boxers. Grasso earned five saves for Pacific.
The game featured many competitive battles for the ball and was physical without being dirty. A total of 56 fouls were called during the game, with 31 on Pacific and 25 on Willamette. Three yellow cards were issued, including two on the Boxers.
Willamette will play at Pacific Lutheran University on Sunday, Oct. 5. Game time is slated for 2:30 p.m. (PDT).

Officer Guide For Puzzle Pirates
A guide on how to be an officer and pillage for puzzle pirates, made by arron65.
Section 1- Introduction
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to read this guide. This guide will tell you how to successfully run a ship, the main task of an Officer. If you do not know what Puzzle Pirates is, and wish to find out more, visit
, free to play today.
Thank you, and enjoy the guide!
Section 2- Preparing for Cast-Off
This section will tell you all you need to do before leaving port. Failing to do this part will result in a horrible pillage, unsatisfied crew, and a lot of blame on your part, so I reccommend reading it.
Section 2.1 Obtaining the Badge(Doubloon)
The very first thing you need to do upon obtaining your officer rank, is if your in the Doubloon Ocean, obtain 8 doubloons. You can do this by buying them securely from www.puzzlepirates.com , or buy them in game at the doubloon exchange. To access the doubloon exchange, go to the 'Ye' tab, and click info by your pirate's head. Then click doubloon exchange, and post a buy offer of 8 doubloons, for however many poe you see is the cheapest over there, or if your willing to wait a bit, a little bit over the top buy offer.
After obtaining these doubloons, you need to go to the Ye tab again, to info, and then to the Palace Shoppe. Look through the list, click the button to buy the officer badge, and your all set. Congratulations, you now have the officer badge and are a certified officer in your crew! (NOTE: You need to be promoted to an officer by the captain or a higher rank than pirate first.)
Section 2.2- Finding a Ship
Now, before continuing, you need to find a ship. If you have your own, obviously you can use that. If not, look for the ship you want in the "Where are my vessels?" button at the dock, or just look in each port under "Vessels Ye May Board" and find one thats suitable. Also, next to the ship at the dock, if there is a padlock there and it's not yours, you cannot use it. That mean's its locked and unusable.
Section 2.3 Supplying a Ship
Now you need to stock the ship. Based on what ship your on, you need Rum, Grog, or Swill, and a certain type of Cannonballs to succeed. Go to the hold, and put in some money. Then you will need to go to Trade Commodities, and buy Some Swill/Grog/Rum, and if your on a sloop or cutter, Small Cannonballs, Merchant/War brig Medium Cannonballs, and any higher than that, large. I suggest about 50-75 cannonballs for the small voyage, and about 20 rum for a sloop/cutter, 40-50 for a merchant brig, and going higher in those sort of intervals. The higher standing the player, the more rum they use.
Section 3- The Pillage
Now, to the actual pillage itsself. You should be totally read to go now, and be jobbing pirates from the vessel tab. Also ask your crew to come in the crew chat, and try jobbing some friends with /job name. Once you are full or have the pirates you want, you can cast-off. Also clicking job pirates will make swabbies(computers with white names) come on board, which you can order to do any job but gun and navigate. If you look at the vessel tab, you will see 3 meters. One shows how much sail-power you have(speed), the second shows your damage, and the third shows bilge. Thats how much damage is done to your ship and how much water is in the bilge, the bottom of the ship. You need to have carpenters to keep the damage down, bilgers to keep the water out, and sailers to keep the speed up. Sails produce speed. Carpenters repair damage that fills the bilge. Bilgers remove the water that slows the ship down. A good balance of all 3 is necessary for success. If you need to learn how to battle navigate, there is a handy guide for that at www.puzzlepirates.com in the YPPEDIA.
That's it for this guide! Thanks for reading!
Once again I thank you for reading this guide, and good luck pillaging!
umm… you never said what size CB's for longships??
This guide was made LONG before longships came out.

(ABC 6 News) - The Olmsted County Sheriff's office is showing off a new piece of technology that should make its job much easier.
The department received 4 license plate readers about a month ago. The readers scan license plates as deputies drive... meaning the devices can check the license plates in an entire parking in the time it takes to drive up and down each line of vehicles.
When the readers were tested last week, two vehicles were discovered to be illegal. One had a revoked license, the other had been canceled.
Better yet, the technology didn't cost tax payers a dime. They were paid for through a grant.
ABC 6 News reporter Katie Eldred is taking a closer look at the license plate scanners today. She'll show you what she found this evening on ABC 6 News.

In Redistricting, Where Do 50 Million Latinos Fit?
By editor
As states across the U.S. are redrawing their district lines to account for changing populations, some groups, like the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, are pushing for majority-Latino districts. MALDEF says such districts will boost Latinos' political power, but others say it'll bring limited influence. Host Michel Martin speaks with MALDEF President Thomas Saenz and Center for Equal Opportunity Chair Linda Chavez.

In this important book Tim Jeppesen investigates environmental regulation in a federal system and addresses the underlying question of whether regulation should be decided centrally, by EU institutions, or de-centrally, by individual member states. While simple economic reasoning presumes that transboundary externalities require central solutions and local externalities need local solutions, the author finds that the real answer is much more complicated. Part of the problem is the fact that EU institutions are complex organizations and their rationale and decision making is not always in t

Future development in the Arctic and Subarctic region requires careful attention to the possible consequences of the development activities themselves, in relation to their environmental, socioeconomic and cultural impacts.

Read Poems by
Rebel Poet
Day one,
My eyes met her smile,
As she welcomed me with class and her unique style,
So I decided to talk to her for a while,
Realizing her vibe might was true
To stimulate her mental view
Is what I wanted to do!
I became the night glow,
And so I let her know,
That I'm not like those
Average foes,
Who just want to take her treasure,
Although to me that would be
The highest of pleasures!
The utmost measure!
Is Love you see,
Which is the purity
Of two souls in unity,
Connected with the Almighty.
Not wanting to rush this,
Because in the past I have lost interest
I am wiling to sacrifice and invest,
Everything to bring her happiness
If she deserves the best
Why would I settle for nothing less?
Instead of many days we are now equivalent to one,
No more of her radiation in my Sun!
So no need for me to go on,
With these words I recited like a song
To this Queen that played me at the end like a pawn,
Not knowing I was a King all along
Since day One!

text: My upper arms seem to burn and get tired very fast when I do things like fold laundry or comb my hair in the shower. I don't know if I should bring this up to my rheummy or not. I might just be REALLY out of shape...and I don't want to seem like a hypochondriac. I am 36 and I just feel really wimpy to not be able to do much with my arms w/o getting tired. I am still quite "strong", meaning I can lift heavy things...I just feel tired in these muscles. I've read about myositis, but I'm not horribly debilitated...I sometimes wonder about having TOO much info. in my brain...how do you tell if you are overreacting or have information overload hypochondria?Anyone know much about this(the muscle thing)?

Best of the Rockets Bounce for 2013
Shaking and stirring while always recommending Hans Bier Haus for quality liquid refreshment. And even some bocce in the backyard. The Association dribble-drives on even with Rocketball out after the first round. And still that one and only playoff series win since 1997. A stunning stretch on so many levels. [Remember remember to follow along @keithcalkinshou and google+.] […] [Read More]
K-Mart and Fisher bounce back to Houston to bounce out Rocketball
Rare is the night at the OKC corral when the dominate Kevin is not the deadly Durant. All too often is the Rocketball postseason when Derek "Effing Fisher" is the ever-irritant, the protagonist and enemy provocateur. Together the terrible twosome delivered the latest death daggers to silence a Rockets' playoff run just getting all revved up. […] [Read More]
What we've seen and will see Game 6 from Rocketball
Shaking and stirring while always recommending Moon Tower Inn for quality liquid refreshment and wondering if we'll see the next installment of "The Never Before Seen Roundball Rescue (perhaps). To be released in OKC as "The Never Before Seen Roundball Wreckage (perhaps). Otherwise known as the death-defying Rockets completely and unexpectedly throwing a severe threat […] [Read More]
Golden St. gives Rocketball the golden blueprint
Shaking and stirring while always recommending Witchcraft Tavern and Provision Company in the Heights for quality liquid refreshment … and wondering if Rocketball can rip a page from the Warriors gun-and-stun playoff playbook and shake some thunder into this series with OKC. If not, then it's a just-as-all predicted four (or five) game set, thanks […] [Read More]

Rocketball returns to the playoffs and we have questions … and answers
Shaking and stirring with eight answers to eight hell-raising questions for Rocketball riding behind the less-than-magical No. 8-ball seed in their suddenly less than lofty return to the playoffs.

Decent Netbook, though I have nothing to compare to.,
October 9, 2012Bydrwelch (Seattle, WA) –Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)This review is from: Acer Aspire One AOD270-1824 10.1-Inch Netbook (Espresso Black) (Personal Computers)
This netbook is quite fast to boot up and handles home use well. Mine was defective, screen flickering with lines and dimming, occasional blackness here and there. Amazon has a great return policy. There is one misleading thing about the add, it says "Windows Office Starter 2010," this is NOT usable Office, it is just an installed version that needs to be purchased and activated before it can be used. Luckily I had a number laying around and was able to transfer from an old computer no longer in use. If you are thinking of getting this because it already has Microsoft on it you should now that it will cost another $80 to activate the software.

Same as AOD270-1410 but with 3 cell battery,
September 4, 2012ByMWebb (Berkeley, CA) –
This review is from: Acer Aspire One AOD270-1824 10.1-Inch Netbook (Espresso Black) (Personal Computers)
For a complete review of this netbook, see Acer Aspire One AOD270-1410 10.1-Inch Netbook (Espresso Black). The 1824 is actually the one I purchased for myself, and reviewed under the 1410 heading months ago – Amazon only recently started carrying the 3 cell version itself. Other than the battery capacity and about $10 difference in pricing, the two units are the same. This remains a sturdy little classic 10.1″ netbook which should have a vastly improved video driver when Windows 8 is released in a couple of months. The cost of upgrading this unit to Windows 8 is only $15 under the Windows 8 upgrade program – just go to "Windows 8 Upgrade" at the Microsoft website to register for the upgrade. Contrary to early fears, Windows 8 is actually EASIER on processor and system resources than Windows 7, shocking for Microsoft, but great for us.

I love the Acer Netbook,
October 17, 2012ByThis review is from: Acer Aspire One AOD270-1824 10.1-Inch Netbook (Espresso Black) (Personal Computers)
I've used several Acer Netbooks. I bought mine because I needed a low-cost, highly portable PC. I've installed the Adobe Suite, Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk 3ds Max. Yes, it's as slow as you would expect this CPU to be, but it's fast compared to my five year old desktop. I love it. It's small enough that I actually take it with me. I can work on files locally when I need to. It works over Remote Desktop to my server farm. I haven't found anything it can't do.

Using a single focal length does two things to refresh your creativity. First, it makes things simpler. You have much less to think about because you have fewer options. Secondly, it forces you to really understand what that specific lens is good for, and what parts of the scene it can best be utilized in.
