If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the East
Now that they're for sale, can we not print them off anymore? I had a nice little collage in my office of the first three.
Agree. Does anyone really know why OSU football isn't more profitable? Why are expenses so high compared to some of the other top programs?
I am stuck in the middle of PSU country and I constantly hear about how PSU football is the 2nd most profitable programs in the country (that and their high graduation rate are about the only 2 things they can talk about these days...). Why does PSU's program generate $12 more in revenue?
while we are on penn state, did anyone see the news that former psu-coach-in-waiting-if-paterno-ever-retires jerry sandusky was just indicted on over 40 counts of felony charges of sex crimes against minors. yikes.
Is that how other conferences (that have a true championship game) do it as well?
I just read the Routes to Indy column on ESPN. Can someone explain why Penn State would go to Indy if they win 2 of their last 3 games. Lets say that Ohio State beats Penn State, but Penn State beats Wisconsin and Nebraska. Lets also say Ohio State wins out. Wouldn't Ohio State be undefeated within the Leaders and Penn State would have 1 loss? Does the Big10 look at overall Big10 record or just within the Division?
Did Shannon ever sign that form at the end of the year that got Tressel in trouble? You know, the one that makes them represent that they are not aware of any violations...
Why didn't he alert the NCAA then? Haven't we learned that is what Coaches are supposed to do?
My wife and I have a deal that she got to name our kids and I get to name our pets. There is a 100% chance that our next dog will be James Patrick Tressel.
Poop - they are on the list because those schools finished the season in AP Top 25. The list is the APRs of the Top 25. Ohio State was the best.
I don't understand the story here. So the car dealerships give something of value to Ohio State coaches/staff (the use of an automobile) and in return they get something of value (tickets to Ohio State sporting events). Isn't this how any product is exchanged on a market?
don't know how many "and so forths" he's said, but he's used the phrase "the situation" about 600 times so far.
Anyone know if the 1pm presser is being shown live anywhere on the web?
Even though they played awfully, sweet jesus it was nice to see the basketball team out there!
Here's what I don't understand about the articles I've read concerning Tressel. Most of the sportswriters at the big media outlets are calling Tressel a "liar" and a "cheater" and I even read "slick little con man." They say that Tressel is smart enough to have known what he was doing. In my experiences, when you lie or cheat you do it for a reason. Usually a risk-reward analysis at some level is undertaken by the person contemplating cheating or lying. I'm failing to figure out exactly what he was hoping to accomplish if he did indeed lie and/or cheat. I don't think the national sportswriters have fully connected the dots. Here's what I'm thinking -
We know that Tressel was alerted that there was a federal investigation going on and that some of his players stuff was found as part of that investigation. Its been made pretty clear that at that point, Tressel had an obligation to alert the NCAA. It isn't likely that Tressel stayed quiet in hopes that it would all blow ever because Tressel had to have known (and he actually said during the press conference on Tuesday) that he knew this would come out eventually. Federal criminal investigations don't just go away quietly. They eventually wrap up and information comes out. Therefore, the argument seems to be that Tressel kept it quiet to preserve all of his players for the 2010 season.
That doesn't make sense to me either because there I am sure there is precedent out there for what punishment players have received for selling their gear. Even if there isn't precedent, Tressel had to know that it wouldn't be an entire season suspension for players selling their memorabilia. Turns out it would have been 4 games, which is what AJ Green got at Georgia and its what the Buckeyes would have received. If Tressel had thought it through and was deliberately keeping the info from the NCAA, does it really make sense that he'd save the 2010 season and risk the 2011 season? (Again, this is operating under the assumption that he knew the information from the federal criminal investigation would be revealed at some point). The players involved were all Juniors in 2010 and will be Seniors for the 2011 season. Players normally get better as they get older, so if he actually thought about it, why wouldn't he have sit out the first 4 or 5 games of their Junior season? Again, he had to have known that information was going to come out eventually when the federal investigation finished.
Concluding, if he really was a liar or a manipulative con man (as seems to be the consensus outside of Buckeye Nation), Tressel would have done a quick risk-reward analysis, at which point he would have realized that it made absolutely no sense to keep this information from the NCAA. This all brings me back to my original feeling that Tressel didn't keep the information from the NCAA for any deliberate reason. It seems like he just made a mistake.

Corpse Party: Suicide Silence (2): CatCorpse Party: Suicide Silence (2): Cat by Beware-Of-Cat
It's been two hours since I've seen Dan. I'm kind of worried about him; is he hurt? Is he in trouble? Is he getting chased? I feel like I'm a mother duck watching over my duckling, but Dan is the only friend I can contact from this closed space compared to the other closed spaces. Without him, I'd be lonely for a rather long time...too long...
"Dan?" I called out as I carefully walked along the wood of the rotten hallway, planks creaking under my weight. 'Where has he been off to?' I asked myself as I continued to stroll. "Dan?!" I shouted a bit louder for him to hear me better- if he's close that is. "Dan-" I stopped in my tracks as a spirit of a lonely girl in a red dress stared at me. Due to my shyness around new people, I avoided eye contact with her, but I did get a glimpse of her turning around a corner and disappearing completely when I tried to trace her tracks. "...I must be hallucinating, I usu

Everything was fine for the first few hours of having to be trapped in Heavenly Host Elementary, staying by Cat's side, cracking jokes to calm each other down, and solving puzzles together. How the hell did it end up like this? It seemed to all go wrong when we first witnessed a spirit taking the form of a young girl in the Infirmary devouring a fresh corpse of a boy whose appearance matched the unclaimed student ID photo of a second year high schooler named Ollie Roosevelt. Blood and gore were splattered all over the place including the walls and furniture as the sounds of the chewing that seemed to belong to an animal instead of a human echoed throughout the room.
Cat quickly pulled me away from the scene that was now a picture that would remain in my head for as long as I live and swiftly, yet quietly shut the door that stood in front of us. "Ughh," an exhausted and disgusted sigh escaped her lips as sh

or, enter your birth date.
Your parents were fighting again. This time, it was worse than the previous arguments since there was more sounds of glass shattering being heard from, objects being thrown around, yelling and shouting booming through the walls, and utter cries along with hands making abusive contact with skin.
It's been happening for the last couple days since the first time you caught them fighting, except it was more frequent since the first time. It would average to about three to four times a day, you weren't sure why they were so angry that they would cause a ruckus three or four times in twenty-four hours and why they would take it out on each other. You've asked Laura about it constantly, but she would always brush you off or change the topic, sometimes when your parents are in an argument, she'd put her hands over your ears or even take you out of the house.
"Hey, Laura?" You asked as you pulled her hands away from your ears by the time you both departed from your home.
"Hm?" She said as she removed your hands from your ears and placed them on your shoulders. Due to her height towering over yours, she looked down at you with her brown eyes locking into your [Eye Color] ones.
"Why does Mom and Dad fight a lot?" Question filled into your eyes as they gazed back at her like a mirror.
Laura sighed. "How many times are you going to ask that?"
"Until I get an answer." You said as you kept eye contact with her.
"...I hope you know that Mother and Father love each other very much." Laura stated briefly.
"Of course I know that!" You exclaimed.
"You might not think the same when I tell you the truth..." Laura lowered her voice as sorrow laminated her vocals, "Father's in huge debt due to betting a rather large amount of florins when he was playing Poker a few weeks back." she paused for a bit until she continued, "A few hours later, he became drunk and did undoubtedly bad things-"
"What kind of bad things?" You asked innocently.
Laura's lips formed into a flatter line of dismay. "Very bad things...you can make many terrible mistakes as Father when you're in a drunken state."
"But why are they fighting?" You questioned once again as you cocked your head a bit to the side like a cat.
She slightly shuttered by hearing those words. "The Templars did him a favor and kept him from being executed due to his lethal...and sexual actions," she hesitated before finishing her sentence, "but he'd have to pay a certain amount of florins within a week or else our family will be executed." she then added one more thing that sent you casting down into an abyss of despair, "He only has three days to pay full debt..."
The morning and afternoon seemed to go by pretty slow; it was misty for a few hours until the sun eventually started to rise while you were washing your clothes and made a few repairs to your pistol. You've seen Ezio pass by a few times, but he hasn't informed you on proceeding onto the mission yet, which made you serve no purpose in worrying, but for some odd reason, you were. You had a feeling you lacked allies by your side if anything went wrong, so you spent the last few hours drawing the troops together.
"Gentlemen!" you proclaimed, "I've gathered you all here for a specific reason!" you ambled between the two lines of soldiers as you tightened your black, leather gloves, "After we recently went to war with the Parthian Empire, I'm expecting all of you to comprehend something as simple as this."
"Ma'am, yes, Ma'am!" Your men answered by shouting as they were originally ordered to.
"Also," your tone softened as you stopped in your tracks, "please be careful, we've already lost plenty of our men."
"Ma'am, yes, Ma'am!" Placing their right arm behind their back, they saluted you with their left hand. You cared for your men as if they were your children; you rarely yelled at them roughly like usual military captains would do and always had all ears on the cadets when they needed to be heard. You were almost like a mother to them, a counselor even. Some of your cadets had depression or been traumatized in their past life from a member of their family's death, so you'd always talk to them or give them comfort about once a week (though you thought that wasn't enough for them). Of course, it was a lot of work to take care of, but you managed to make room in your agenda for weekly sessions. You did this because you knew how it felt like to lose someone so important to you.
"Alright then," you said, "you can now eat lunch, you may prepare yourselves afterwards." The soldiers then quietly took place elsewhere from their lines and chose what they desired from a rather large variety of food cooked by Claudia, the third eldest of the Auditore family. "I'd like to thank you, Claudia for sacrificing your time to cook lunch for my men."
"No need to thank me," she insisted, "it's my pleasure to help feed empty stomachs for those who survived the lethal war with the Parthian Empire." It was silent for a while between you two as you both watched the cadets eating their food and enjoying themselves with their friends, it was something rare for you to witness since they occupied most of their time in combat training or at war. For the first time in a very long time, you slightly smiled to the sight of your men finally being happy like they once where when they arrived back at home in Rome, Italy.
"What's with all these men eating in the garden?" Ezio inquired, in which surprised you a bit with him speaking so suddenly without making an entrance, probably a instinctive habit he has from being an assassin.
"These men are Miss [Name]'s soldiers," Claudia explained, "they're for backup on your mission."
"You never told me this." Ezio's voice dropped a few tones deeper as his brown orbs looked at you with an unnerving gaze.
"They don't have to come," you said, "either way is fine with me." You stood tall and strong, but due to Ezio's height, he still towered over you.
"It doesn't matter," Ezio spoke, "as long as they don't get in the way or tamper with the mission." He then sauntered away in the villa to prepare without hesitation nor urge on stopping as you followed along with him, doing the same.
"Shut up!" Your mother yelled in aggravation, "Just shut up!"
"What's the point of this argument?!" Your father retaliated, "We're all going to die without a doubt, can we at least be more kind to each other and spend more time with our children?!"
"Riccardo, please," Your mother's tone softened, as if becoming vulnerable, "not in front of them."
"What does it matter anymore?!" he erupted in irritation, "We can't keep this secret anymore, we need to apprise them!"
"That it's your fault!"
"You knew I've been drinking heavily, but you've never done anything about it!" Your father's remark kept her mouth shut.
"What's going on?" Marco asked in a perplexed manner.
Your mother glared at your father, "It's nothing to be worried about, Marco," she reassured, "your father's just going through some pretty heavy things."
"Lies!" your father loudly shouted, "It's going to be more than 'pretty heavy things' when the Templars arrive!" You immediately knew what he was talking about. Your sister was right, your family was going to die.
"Riccardo-" Your mother's yelling was interrupted by the sound of the front door bursting open.
"There they are!" A tall man dressed in a familiar attire of full suits of chainmail, covered in a white tabard with a red steel helm covering concealing his identity and a large, bold, red cross openly located across his chest called out, "Bind their hands and feet together!" In panic, you tried to flee out of the house as you quickly dismounting your chair, but before you could take a full step away from the chair, a Templar briskly grabbed the back of the collar of your shirt and maliciously threw you to the floor towards three other Templars who attempted to restrain you from freedom of moving away.
"Laura-!" Before you could say another word, one of the three Templars that gathered around you gagged you by tying a red cloth around your mouth, muffling your cries and screams. You glanced at your surroundings as you gazed at the sight of your family being harshly beaten and vanquished.
"The children!" your mother bawled out, nearly in tears, "Please free the children!"
"Children or not, they'll be disciplined no matter what!" The taller Templar shouted as he started to gag her from her screaming and binding her wrists and ankles together from her thrashing for escape. Your older brother, Marco, was slammed face first against the floor as his fragile skin collided with the cold, solid wood, bruising his right cheek with a purple mark, accompanied by a few hints of yellow and red along with the purple.
Taking your attention off Marco for a short period of time, your eyes slightly widened as your father rashly shoved a Templar onto the floor and promptly took the nearest object within arm's length in which was a chair, using all of his strength in striking the Templar with a chair. Only a few hits were made, but you could hear the sound of painful cries and bones cracking echo through the room, an utterance that will never vacate your memory. Almost immediately, the taller Templar impacted your father against the wall and rested a keen blade across his neck.
"Harm anymore knights and you'll be the first to have your throat slit." He spat as he pressed the blade deeper into your father's neck, deep enough to draw more than a few drops of blood. The room went completely silent for a few seconds, though it seemed like hours, while the Templar finally lowered his blade off your father's neck. Even though he let out a slight sigh of relief, he was terrified deep down inside the void of his heart.
"This is going to be fun." Another Templar said as he lightly smirked while pinning Marco to the ground. "What should we do with these brats?" He asked.
"Let them watch," the tallest man answered, "it's more fun that way." The Templar near Marco smirked wider, malice cascading in his dull, glassy eyes; the only hint of life that's left in him. Walking over to your mother, the taller man harshly kicked her to the ground showing no empathy and lethally punted her stomach with the head of his foot. As his foot made contact with her stomach, she gagged, blood seeping through the cloth tied around her mouth.
"Where are we going again?" You inquired as both you and Ezio strolled through the village of Tuscany.
"We're meeting with a friend of mine who could equip you with body armor and protection," Ezio spoke, "along with a possible upgrade for your pistol."
"I kind of need a few adjustments anyway," you stated as you felt your revolver, "it can get a bit stubborn to handle at times." You could feel Ezio smirk as he turned the knob of a door that seemed divergent compared to the other doors.
"Ah! You must be [Last Name]!" Leonardo greeted in his usual optimistic tone as he shook your hand, "If I could recall, you're Italy's military captain?"
"Yes." You clarified while your hand extended back to your side as soon as Leonardo's hand withdrew from yours.
"Amazing! I've always wanted to be a weapons engineer for the military's combat equipment!" He practically awed as he intertwined his hands together.
"Really?" You asked, a bit intrigued by his comment.
"It's been a dream I've had since I was seven!"
You slightly smiled, "I'm glad to hear that---" you remarked, "what did you have in mind on equipping me?"
"Would you mind if I could take a few measurements to see whatever fits you?" Leonardo asked as he acquired measuring tape from a nearby drawer.
Your muscles tensed up a bit; were you really sure you didn't mind a stranger that you've met only a minute ago touch you in undetermined places? He is a friend of Ezio's nonetheless and he (Ezio) is sitting on a stool a few feet away from you. It's only for measurements after all.
In panic, you let out a thunderous cry as you aggressively struggled through the bindings, though they were far too tight to loosen up the slightest. "Shut up, brat!" A Templar with a whip roared as he belligerently lashed your back brutal enough to tear through the threads of your shirt and strike the bare skin of your back. You winced in pain as you jolted upward in sudden shock while you felt a burning sensation within your spine along with a few streaks of blood traveling down the small of your back.
The tallest Templar nearest to your mother then gripped his hand around the midnight silk of her hair and forcefully yanked upward to crane her to face him. "I'm going to kill you along with this shitty family while your husband is going to lay there helpless and watch."
This was supposed to be the last part, whoops, there's only a few parts left until the story is finally completed, stay tuned!

As we kick off a new school year, please remember to send officer contact information to the MD PTA office if you have not already done so! Membership cards can't be sent to you until this information is received! Most importantly, remind your members that once they get their membership cards, LOG In and find out what is new at National PTA. Only if they log in will they receive all the benefits from National PTA as well as advocacy alerts. In addition, members who log in will receive discounts from vendors, including a discount at Staples.
Different Ways PTA Members May Serve as Volunteers
Level 1- This member may not be able to volunteer in school but is willing to support the PTA as a member and in attending the programs that your PTA will offer this year. These members are also willing to do activities from home such as:
Level 2- These parents may be available to volunteer a few times a year in school. They will assist with at least one PTA program. They will participate in the programs and fundraising programs.
Level 3- This member is more likely to be an active volunteer in the school. They are more willing to chair a committee for the PTA and assist in developing and implementing PTA programs.
In order to grow your PTA membership, your PTA must actively reach out and include everyone in the activities of your PTA. Every member is a valued member. PTAs should be actively sharing what the benefits of PTA memberships are. Show your members and potential members what your PTA does to benefit your school community. Many locals are doing wonderful things on a consistent basis and your school community should be aware of this. Your PTA leaders should communicate on a regular basis with your PTA members about the volunteer work your PTAs are doing.
Join the Maryland PTA Membership Committee: The Maryland PTA Membership Committee is looking for volunteers to assist Maryland PTA with developing membership strategies in conjunction with the National PTA membership plan.

How Can You Honor That Special Volunteer?
Every year, PTAs around the state begin to think of ways to honor that one special volunteer. You all know the one; they give countless hours, are there when ever you need them, and look for nothing in return. How will you say "Thank you for your outstanding service to our children"? Give the award of a lifetime. Give the Maryland PTA Lifetime Achievement Award, which supports the Maryland PTA Scholarship Fund.
The Maryland PTA Lifetime Achievement Award is the highest honor Maryland PTA can bestow to the person who daily lives out his or her commitment to children. Recognize and thank that special person you know who goes above and beyond for all children and youth.
The recipient of the Maryland PTA Lifetime Achievement Award will receive a certificate of recognition and a congratulatory letter from the Maryland PTA president. The award will be sent according to the direction on the application and a sample press release will be provided for use in your local media.
The fee for presenting the Maryland PTA Lifetime Achievement Award supports the Maryland PTA Scholarship Fund. Since the early 1950's, Maryland PTA has designated that the fees received for the Maryland PTA Lifetime Achievement Award be used to support the fund. The scholarships provide the opportunity for seniors across the state, who wish to pursue a career in education, a chance to make their dreams a reality.
If every local/council honored one member each year, Maryland PTA would have the potential of awarding over $40,000.00 in scholarship money.

Only the Blind See
POSTED BY: Millet
The gospel of Jesus Christ is the grand news, the glad tidings that through our exercise of faith in Jesus Christ and his Atonement, coupled with our repentance that flows therefrom, we may be forgiven of our sins and justified or made right with God. Our standing before the Almighty has thereby changed from a position of divine wrath to one of heavenly favor and acceptance; we have traveled the path from death to life (see Romans 5:9–10). "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ" (Romans 5:1). Or, as Peter taught, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you" (1 Peter 5:6–7; emphasis added). Surely it is the case that we can cast our burdens upon the Lord because he cares for us—that is, because he loves us. But I sense that more is intended by Peter in this passage. We can give away to Him who is the Balm of Gilead our worries, our anxieties, our frettings, our awful anticipations, for he will care for us, that is, will do the caring for us. It is as though Peter had counseled us: "Quit worrying. Don't be so anxious. Stop wringing your hands. Let Jesus take the burden while you take the peace." This is what C. S. Lewis meant when he pointed out that "f you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way" (Mere Christianity, 130–31; emphasis added).
Following his healing of a blind man, Jesus spoke plainly to the self-righteous Pharisees: "For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind." What an odd statement! And yet it goes to the heart of that which we have been discussing—our need to acknowledge our need. Those who have accepted Christ and his saving gospel come to see things as they really are. They once were blind, but now they see. Those who choose to remain in their smug state of self-assurance, assuming they see everything clearly, these are they that continue to walk in darkness. Thus Jesus concluded, "If ye were blind"—that is, if you would acknowledge and confess your blindness, your need for new eyes to see who I am and what I offer to the world—"ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth" (John 9: 41).
It was Jacob, son of Lehi, who wrote that those who are "puffed up because of their learning, and their wisdom, and their riches—yea, they are they whom he [the Holy One of Israel] despiseth; and save they shall cast these things away, and consider themselves fools before God, and come down in the depths of humility, he will not open unto them" (2 Nephi 9:42; compare 1 Corinthians 3:18; 4:10; 8:2). On the other hand, "the poor in spirit," those who consider themselves spiritually bankrupt without heavenly assistance and divine favor, those who come unto Christ and accept his sacred offering, inherit the kingdom of heaven (see Matthew 5:3; 3 Nephi 12:3).
Let's be wise and honest: We cannot make it on our own. We cannot pull ourselves up by our own spiritual bootstraps. We are not bright enough or powerful enough to bring to pass the mighty change necessary to see and enter the kingdom of God. We cannot perform our own eye surgery. We cannot pry our way through the gates of the heavenly Jerusalem. We cannot make ourselves happy or bring about our own fulfillment. But we can "seek this Jesus of whom the prophets and apostles have written, that the grace of God the Father, and also the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost, which beareth record of them, may be and abide in [us] forever" (Ether 12:41). Then all these things will be added unto us (see Matthew 6:33). That's the promise, and I affirm that it's true.
A Patriot's Dream
POSTED BY: holzapfel
Guest blog by Robert C. Freeman, professor of Church history and doctrine at BYU.
Strike up the band, fire up the grill, and get to your favorite fireworks show. This month American Latter-day Saints will join the rest of the nation in celebrating the birth of the United States. For the past fifteen years, I have been involved in collecting stories of Church members who have served in the military (Click here to learn more: www.saintsatwar.org).
Latter-day Saints have a long history of patriotism to their individual countries, including the United States. Sentiments of loyalty to the principles of the U.S. Constitution were espoused by Joseph Smith himself. He said, "I am the greatest advocate of the Constitution of the United States there is on the earth. In my feelings I am always ready to die for the protection of the weak and oppressed in their just rights. The only fault I find with the Constitution is, it is not broad enough to cover the whole ground" (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, comp. Joseph Fielding Smith [SLC: Deseret Book, 1976], 326). The Prophet's perception of the Constitution's need to be broader is insightful when one considers that he died well before the addition of such crucial constitutional additions as the civil rights amendments (thirteen, fourteen, and fifteen) and the nineteenth amendment, which extended the right to vote to women.
Today, American Latter-day Saints are as red, white, and blue as ever. Brigham Young University's hometown of Provo boasts one of this nation's biggest Fourth of July celebrations—the Freedom Festival. Of course, the influence of the Church stretches across the earth, which prompts us to consider some important questions—for example, what does patriotism mean in view of the global church? Certainly, we are obliged to maintain a proper perspective on patriotism. We celebrate because this is the land of our fathers and the land for our children. We embrace all that is good about our country and hope to make a difference in matters of freedom both at home and abroad. We espouse the principles of liberty and equality anywhere they are under attack.
Several decades ago, at the time of the bicentennial of the founding of America, President Spencer W. Kimball spoke of the militant tendencies of modern mankind: "We are a warlike people, easily distracted from our assignment of preparing for the coming of the Lord. When enemies rise up, we commit vast resources to the fabrication of gods of stone and steel—ships, planes, missiles, fortifications—and depend on them for protection and deliverance. When threatened, we become antienemy instead of pro-kingdom of God; we train a man in the art of war and call him a patriot, thus, in the manner of Satan's counterfeit of true patriotism, perverting the Savior's teaching" ("The False Gods We Worship," Ensign, June 1976).
Elder Dallin H. Oaks also warned of other risks of overzealous patriots when he said, "Love of country is surely a strength, but carried to excess it can become the cause of spiritual downfall. There are some citizens whose patriotism is so intense and so all-consuming that it seems to override every other responsibility, including family and Church" ("Our Strengths Can Become Our Downfall," Ensign, October 1994, 17).
Such teachings remind us of the need to refine our patriotism to ensure it is genuine and within the Lord's bounds. True patriotism brings honor upon any nation in which freedom and liberty are embraced. Such liberties are needed in order for the kingdom of God to flourish among the Lord's people. There is much to be celebrated about our blessed country and other countries that strive for freedom. Let the fireworks begin!

I wanted to make a LEGO game on unity but I dont know how to get LEGO bricks into unity and I would use blender to make LEGO bricks but I want to be able to actually get real bricks into my game but i dont know how to do it.
asked Jun 30, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Just build a lego brick in a 3D app, such as Maya, 3Ds Max, Cinema 4D ...? Then import it into Unity
Jun 30, 2012 at 11:11 AM oliver-jones
What do you mean by "real" bricks?...
@oliver-jones.html is correct. You need to create them yourself in a modelling application. Btw, LEGO has really tight copyright restrictions, without their permit you can get in trouble even when you make a free game. I suggest to not use the trademark "LEGO" at all.
Jun 30, 2012 at 11:24 AM Bunny83
just make it based on lego not actually lego and never reference that your trying to make a lego game, but rather trying to make a game based on its mechanics. if its for personal use and never released i doubt you would get into any trouble

There would certainly would be copyright issues. You can read more here : LEGO FairPlay Guidelines.
That said, if you are doing this a personal product and intending to release it or infringe in anyway on LEGO's IP, there are many ways to go about getting various LEGO parts into blender (and then Unity). You can use the LEGO Digital Designer to build models and export them to an ldraw format, and there are many tools that let you convert from that point. You may have to use use intermediate formats and tools depending on your OS and what you are going to do with them. There is plenty of info available on LDraw's site.
However they are primary designed as a tool for prototyping LEGO models and share building instructions and things that nature. They were not intended to be used for games (well... actually LU worked closely with LDdraw and their work was used in LEGO Universe.). So generally speaking if you actually want to use them in a game or animate them, you will have to clean up the exported parts A LOT. They normals are usually off, ploys not actually connected, some parts incomplete or missing, etc. But worse case scenario, they are great for giving a great starting point and reference, even if you have to completely rebuild them using the exported assets as reference.
Hope that helps! ZG

Destiny Solutions released the first in a series of reports looking at the business needs of modern higher education institutions. This report, titled "Enhancing E-Commerce to Reach Market Potential," determined that in order to optimize success, postsecondary institutions must provide students with the advanced e-commerce experience they have come to expect as consumers.
The report examined existing literature on the current state of e-commerce and applied it to the higher education industry in order to determine that by expanding e-commerce capabilities, higher education institutions are able to improve student and prospective student satisfaction and increase market penetration.
"Today's non-traditional student behaves much like a consumer, searching for education options and comparing them side-by-side," said Shaul Kuper, president and CEO of Destiny Solutions. "The Internet provides one of the most important touch points between the student and the school—and an advanced e-commerce solution allows the school to make the most of this medium."
Destiny Solutions is issuing this series of reports in response to the drastic changes recently faced by the higher education industry. Each report tackles one pertinent business challenge and provides perspective on how to meet each challenge. This report looked at the high expectations non-traditional students bring to their e-commerce and course selection process as well as how institutions can meet these expectations in order to increase revenue in the face of an increasingly competitive market landscape.
The report found that an e-commerce system must include the following four main capabilities:
The report indicates that recent market shifts have created a wealth of opportunity for institutions to reimagine how they conduct business and how they achieve success. In order to capitalize, schools must provide their students with a searchable, intuitive, personalized and secure shopping experience.

About Destiny Solutions
Destiny Solutions is the leading innovator of lifelong learning business solutions. The company's flagship product, Destiny One™, is a software platform that manages business processes for non-traditional higher education units in order to enable them to reimagine their market potential, increase their business agility and enhance their operational integrity.

Hola! Happy Wednesday everyone!
Yesterday came and went without too much trouble- with exception of the crazy storm that just had to hit when I was in the middle of the interstate. We're going to pretend that didn't extend my commute home by at least 15 minutes.
Other than that, I was in a good mood. And in an even better mood when I acquired this package from Annelies at Attune Foods:She asked if I'd like to try Uncle Sam cereal and I'll have to say I was quite envious of all you kids who have already. So I said of course! Many of you already know about my mild cereal obsession, so it should come as no surprise that I'd be willing to try a new one to eventually add to the collection…
This one is probably one of, if not the most, healthy cereals I've tried. It's a whole-wheat flake cereal with flax seed. That means it's 10 grams of fiber per serving. 10 grams. That will keep your insides clean…
I didn't waste any time using it. First thing's first- the sweet stuff. :)
I made chocolate granola!
After looking over a few different recipes, I just decided to throw together my own. Seriously- granola may be the easiest thing to make ever. Because you can't really screw it up. You just throw in whatever your preferences are.In my case, I went with a pretty sweet mixture:
– 2 cups rolled oats
– 1 cup Uncle Sam Original
– 1 cup Kashi Go Lean
– 1 cup sliced almonds
– 6 oz of chocolate chips (in my case, half the bag)
– 1/2 cup coconut (a last minute edition)
So while you've got all that chillin' in a big bowl, heat on medium low about a 1/2 cup of brown rice syrup and a heaping tablespoon of brown sugar. After the sugar's dissolved, add around 3/4 cup of peanut butter (I didn't measure so much as guesstimate on it) and take off the heat. Once it's all melty melty, dump it into the big bowl of yumminess. And mix. A lot. Don't be too good to use your hands if you have to. The chocolate's going to start to melt. And just let it- because it's supposed to. :)
If it's not the right consistency (really, that's up to you), continue to add more cereal/oats. Since I was mostly winging it, I ended up having to add more cereal.Spread out onto a foil-lined cookie sheet and throw it in the refrigerator. It won't look overly pleasing to the eye- but no worries. After it's chilled an hour or so, just stick it in tupperware and keep in the refrigerator. Try not to sneak handfuls. It's like crack. Once you start, you won't stop.
I'm sure if you wanted, you could just press it all tightly together to make bars, but I prefer to keep it in crumbly and add to my breakfast: Fab. It honestly reminds me of a version of "no bake" cookies. I'd imagine it would be tasty with ice cream, too. Probably a good thing I don't have any in the house at the moment.
Tonight I'm using it with my dinner. Get excited. ;)
And before I forget…
I was passed on a few awards over the last week or so that I have yet to post on! The first was from Genesis and Megan– thanks ladies! One of the rules is to answer the question: If you had the chance to go back and change one thing in your life, would you and what would it be?
That, for me, is a pretty simple answer. There are a few things I regret- but I would never change what I did. Because no matter how you look at it, every decision I've made up to this point has made me who I am. Every selfish or bad choice, every hesitation or missed opportunity, each thing I should have or would have said… etc. As much as every one of these things have sucked, they've still contributed to shaping the person I am today. And I happen to like who I am now. I guess for every downside to the things I've done, there's also an upside?
I think I'll send that paragraph in for the plot of a Hallmark Channel made-for-tv movie. It's golden.
Secondly, I got tagged with this little sucker by Shanna:So now I'm supposed to talk about a few things that make me happy. Which would probably be a nice change of pace since I've been known to rant. ;)
*And to spare you, none of these will be workout/food related. I'm throwing that little twist into it…
1. A new pair of high heels. Yes, this is severely materialistic. But I'm not huge into accessories. I'm not overly trendy. I shop the sales/clearance rack first before even looking at the rest of a store. Rarely do I buy anything without a coupon or promotion code if I can swing it. The mall stresses me out. So please excuse my vanity when it comes to a gorgeous pair of stilettos that elongate my disproportionately short legs. Trying on the perfect fit makes me squeal like a little girl. Just ask my friends.
2. A good neighborhood bar. Sure, I like my dressy nights out with the girls every once in a while (where else will I wear my new sassy heels I just mentioned?). And sometimes I just need a place where I can dance my unrhythmatic booty off. But more often than not, I am found most comfortable and happy dressed down, sitting at a table, surrounded by my friends, beer and sports highlights.
3. Movie nights in. As I type this, I realize all my happy things contradict each other. Weird. Either way, when I'm not feeling overly social and don't want to wear my new sassy heels, I like to dress up in my finest pair of sweats and check out the newest red box selections. Preferably, I'm sharing this experience with another person, but solo is cool, too. It's rare for this to happen at any time other than the weekend- during the week I always feel like I have to be doing something. So when I get to (or want to stop moving), it's just fabulous.
Whew. That was a long one. Hopefully I didn't keep you too long from something important… like work or something… ;) But you totally deserved the break anyways. Totally.
Have a good one!

too much white still
negged for caring that he cares about his rep.
ok no negg but i kind of wanted to
the site is looking like it did way way way back in the day when i used to just troll around on the front page chat box
my eyes!!!!!!!!! Do you know how many drugs I did this weekend at a burn to come home and first thing, watch UFC 162 (hehe) and secondly log onto here...ARRRR. I did no drugs this weekend thankfully otherwise my eyes would MELT.

I know this is pure vanity but...
What are the requirements for a blue name? I heard it was 6000.
I am wondering because I believe that I have surpassed them.
someone has a dubble standard oh yeah got to neg you now but you don't care so it should not even make you mad
Why you mad this time? I think you're still mad that I negged you a month ago. Petty!
There is a difference between whining about getting negged in 4-6 threads as dimebag did and my asking for a blue name when at the time the assumption was that it required 6000 rep. If you cannot discern the difference, God help you.
Every human being contradicts their past behaviour because people evolve. Everyone has been a hypocrite when compared to their past self. Your pointing out something you deem hypocritical does not bother me. It did make me laugh that you thought it would.
As for your judgement of who I am... I was not aware we had met. You think you have enough info on me from my posts to understand who I am? I don't think you are that keen a psychoanalyst. I mean, they require university and the ability to use punctuation.

Funky comfortable shoes
These shoes are awesome. They put all the focus into the sole and that makes them very comfortable. The frayed seams are ok for a causal look, reminds me of our 60's - 70's hippie days. Barefoot though they make your feet sweat a little, but make fantastic indoor slippers worn with socks.

Other sites claim to have hacked into girls online accounts like Facebook, Photobucket and Myspace, but only Watch My GF seems to be actually doing it!
WatchMyGF.com was the first on the scene when it comes to ex-girlfriend sites. They set the bar high and pretty much none of the cheap competitors has been able to match it. If you join Watch My GF, and God forbid, one of their competitors you would notice something peculiar happening. Watch My GF updates with some never before seen pics and videos, and then days or weeks later the other site updates with the same content!
Why is that?
Well, it is because Watch My GF was the site that hacked the accounts and the other sites literally get their own content by joining Watch My GF and stealing it from their members area! So if you want up to the minute updates of the hottest self shot candid photos and amateur porn videos you really need to go to the source: Watch My GF!
The categories and sub-categories that are covered in the members area are mind blowingly extensive. They have young hotties in their real cheerleader uniforms. They don't use models posing in uniforms. These are real girls in high schools and colleges from all over the world! They have young hotties in bikinis at the beach, by the pool and getting out of the bikinis in drunken frat house party orgies!
Don't get scammed by sites that can't deliver the goods! There are plenty of amateur and professional Porno videos at FreeFuckVidz.com. Hardcore HD porn shouldn't depleat your wallet. So don't let it. You are the only one not using it!

Legos by Color
Now that the kids have gone back to school it's time to get your house organized and back in tip-top shape. You can start with our solution for that pile of Legos you tripped over this morning. You know, the ones your son dumped on the floor when he was looking for that one elusive flat red piece.
Well we've come up with a solution for this daily rug hazzard. Take a tip from the Lego Store and organize them all by color. Use several clear containers all the same size and actually separate all those Legos by colors. Yes it takes a while but you could do it while your watching a little TV --
Now we know what you're thinking...why can't I just put them all in a large plastic storage container in one corner of my family room? The room may look better, but trust us, that container will sit there untouched for weeks at a time.
But sort your Legos by color, and it's like magic. Suddenly they will be popular again as your kids are attracted to the display of bright colors.
Not only is it easy to find the pieces described in the individual project instruction sheets, but this new display actually prompts more creativity now that all blocks on display become options. Soon you'll have a new collection of Lego creations to proudly display on a designated shelf in the family room.
Sometimes all it takes is a little reorganizing and toys, books, blocks, etc. can have a "new" feel and generate fresh interest -- kind of like pulling out your favorite sweaters after a long hot summer.

Looking myself before,
Cute and innocent in the picture,
I remembered those days with a smile,
Reminisced the unforgettable part of my life
Looking myself at the camera,
Standing outside our old veranda,
With a dress so white but tiny,
Fit for a naughty little baby.
My hair tied separately in pony tails,
Not wearing any shoes or slippers,
Legs apart under the heat of the sun,
Childhood memories are so much fun.
Chubby looking pretty Mary,
Showing her natural beauty,
Smiling with toothless mouth,
Clapping hands heard by the happy crowd.

general description
La Mer is a luxurious villa perched high on a hillside on Bordeaux Mountain. It offers outstanding views of Jost Van Dyke, Sandy Cay and to the North to Virgin Gorda and all the way down the string of pearls known as the Virgin Islands.
Entrance is into a lush courtyard complete with a pair of bronze herons. The interiors offer tiled floors and a rich color scheme set off by light bamboo furnishings.
The master suite has a king sized four poster bed and a gorgeous stone shower large enough for two as well as views all the way to Virgin Gorda. The other three bedrooms are equally appealing with tasteful furnishings and magnificent views.
The kitchen is a gourmet's delight and has beautiful custom ash cabinetry, a center island and granite countertops. Dining may be enjoyed in several areas as well as alfresco.
The inviting pool offers a cool retreat after a day at one of the island's glorious beaches and is, also, a wonderful spot for stargazing.
Due to La Mer's cliffside location and separate bedroom pavilions the home is not suitable for young children.

Lethargic HHS tops St. Albans, 55-42
HUNTINGTON -- For the last two weeks, Huntington High guard Kiana Evans couldn't wait for the first game of her final year with the Highlanders.
Even though things started out slow, the Highlanders ended with a 9-0 run to earn a 55-42 win over St. Albans on Tuesday night at Lucas-Archer Gymnasium.
"I was so excited that I couldn't even sleep last night," Evans said. "We were a little nervous and we were out of it early, but we came on at the end and got the win."
Evans finished with a game-high 21 points, including back-to-back layups off of steals during the closing 90 seconds to push a tight contest into a double-digit win for Huntington High (1-0).
The final two minutes were a complete contrast to the rest of the fourth quarter for the Highlanders, who had just one field goal in the opening six minutes of the frame.
St. Albans used its defense and a leg-weary Highlanders squad to claw back within 46-42 on a basket by Katelyn Propst with 3:40 left.
"It was like we couldn't get the gears shifted," Huntington High coach Lonnie Lucas said. "Instead of shifting up into third gear, we shifted back into neutral and waited for someone to push us."
It would be the Red Dragons' final points of the game, however.
"I just said, 'We can't let them score anymore. We have to play good defense and get runs. That's what we do," Evans said. "That's who we are, that's what we do. We run the ball. That's what we needed to do."
Until the final burst by the Highlanders, the game had been a slow-paced, nip-tuck affair.
St. Albans' tandem of Propst girls -- Katelyn and Breana -- kept the Red Dragons at arm's length of the Highlanders throughout.
Breana Propst led the way with 15 points while Katelyn Propst finished with 11.
The game might not have been so close down the stretch had the Highlanders been able to knock down free throws. Huntington High finished just 9-of-27 from the foul line.
"Oh, goodness, I don't even want to know what the percentage was," Lucas said.
After being told the actual totals, he gave a smirk and looked for the positive in the matter.
"Well, I guess the good news is that we got to the line 27 times," Lucas said.
Dominique Gibson finished with 14 points and nine rebounds for the Highlanders, including five points and four key rebounds in the fourth as Huntington High started using its size to dominate the smaller St. Albans lineup.
The Highlanders outrebounded St. Albans 42-24, led by Ericka Budd's 11 boards.
Freshman Dazha Congleton added 10 points for Huntington High, who plays at Lincoln County on Friday.
ST. ALBANS 14 13 9 6 -- 42: Wilson 9, B. Propst 15, K. Propst 11, Cooper 2, Fields 2, Davis 3.
HUNTINGTON HIGH 17 14 11 13 -- 55: Williams 6, Congleton 10, Evans 21, Budd 4, Gibson 14.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bravura performance!,
kellytwo "kellytwo" (cleveland hts, ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Men, Women and Pianos: A Social History (Paperback)
If you love music, especially that of the piano, then you should definitely make room on your musical bookshelf for this wonderful and comprehensive book. The author, Arthur Loesser, was a well-known concert pianist who was also a gifted writer, critic and annotator--shades of that earlier duallist, Berlioz! This dandy, thick book, detailing the history of keyboards, also includes many of the personalities involved in music-making through the centuries. The hard-cover edition--originally published in 1954--is long out of print, making this trade-paper version even more welcome. Once it's yours, you'll be in possession of nearly everything you ever wanted to know about these keyboard instruments--and then some! And, once you begin reading, you'll find it difficult to put it aside, even for a moment.
Each major country had its own beginnings with music and the keyboards that brought that music to life. This book is, therefore, a geographical as well as a musical tour. Beginning in about the mid-1500s and continuing to more recent times, Loesser informs us of the musical progression in Germany, Austria, England, France, and finally the US. Whether you begin with the English in the 1500s or the Germans in the 1600s or the French in the 1700s, you'll be intrigued by the variety of instruments unveiled in these pages for your delectation, as well as his humorous side trips into more human endeavors. (There's an entire chapter [Section Three, Chapter Eighteen] on the use of music in the novels of Jane Austen, for example.)
Loesser skillfully utilizes his dry and frequently wry wit in detailing the history and usage of keyboard instruments, as well as those who merely were the players of them. It's quite obvious that, to Mr. Loesser, the instruments themselves were the more worthy, and he skillfully educates the reader in the evolution of today's piano, including the advantage gained by the availability of steel framing.
There are many types of keyboard instruments, some more well-known than others, but none are slighted in this comprehensive retrospective. In addition, social history is also brought into prominence, as well as those artisans who have moved us with their performances.
Another bravura performance from this noted musician.

4.0 out of 5 stars A History of the Piano for the True Aficionado,
By A Customer
This review is from: Men, Women and Pianos: A Social History (Paperback)
This book can be tough going at times -- over 600 pages of text alone, densely written, finely detailed, full of endless descriptions of how early pianos were built in the great days of Cristoferi and Silbermann. Then why read this book? Because it is, simply, fascinating. There are chapters on the role of the piano in the works of Jane Austen, the piano as an aid to courtship, on Beethoven's paean to his Broadwood, on the quest for "brilliant but not difficult" music, long descriptions of 19th century mechanical devices of pianistic torture -- there is a great deal of interesting esoterica here, and much to learn. The book is a classic, and I'm glad it's on my bookshelf.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all here,
By A Customer
This review is from: Men, Women and Pianos: A Social History (Paperback)
When it comes to the history of the piano, if it's not in this book, you don't need to know it. Loesser writes this "biography" of the piano with accuracy, detail, plenty of anecdotes, good judgment, and an abundance of humor. You'll be hooked after a few lively chapters--even if you thought you had only a passing interest the pianoforte.

Thermoregulation: Body temperature plays an important role in athletic performance. If the body cools down, the muscles do not receive a sufficient blood supply. As a result, accidents and deterioration in performance can occur. The materials used for temperature control are highly wicking on the inside, offer ideal insulation and are extremely soft to the touch. Rapid escape of perspiration prevents the body from cooling down due to evaporation and the fabric from sticking to the skin. In this way, you can keep your body warmer and drier.
- Fabric:
85% Polyamide, 15% Elastane
