Byond, a Better Game Maker Then Roblox?
Byond isn't new, but it's now as popular as Roblox. Find out what Byond is all about!
I've used Byond before, it's just that it was harder then roblox to make stuff. BUT trust me it's way better. When you make a game on roblox, can you sell it? No, but Byond does. You can even make the game into a demo, have some stuff for members and the rest for free members, almost anything. You might even make your own version of Runescape! It is also run on Unix servers. It's almost like the linux server that Runescape runs on if you didn't know what a Unix server was. Anyway Byond is a little tougher but the website provides a whole guide for ever thing you might ever need. Byond is almost like Game Maker though its completely free so no worries! Considering what you get this is amazing! You have to download it which isn't really bad since you have to download roblox and game maker too. Have fun creating games!
P.S. here is the link for Byond: http://www.byond.com/download/
BYOND is good. I've been using it for a while and am quite experienced in the coding language.
The only shame about BYOND is that it's full of anime, which essentially makes Roblox better.
Viruses, its full of viruses! Dont download it!Nobody listen!It will earase your hard drive! Nobody wants that! DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!
it depends where u download the file from. from my experience though i never go ta virus. i downloaded it from cnet but im not sure if they still have it. next best thing is softpedia. that is, if you do not trust their original website.
viruses i have byond and its awsome anyone who sees this add me my user name is swiftdeath14

The list of affected free agents
The NFLPA has always voiced strong opposition to the salary cap system, and has always insisted that the final year under each CBA be uncapped. The purpose of this is that if no new agreement is reached and a stoppage occurs, the status quo will be without a cap.
The wisdom or absurdity of the union's position is fodder for another time. For now, the key point is that when the owners brought in the cap system, the concession they offered as a trade-off was early free agency. Before the cap system, players had to have six years of service to become true (unrestricted) free agents. Until they reached six years of tenure, they could only be restricted free agents. But with the salary cap in place, unrestricted free agency began after four years of service.
The catch is that since we don't have a new CBA in place for 2011, 2010 stands to be an uncapped year. And when the cap goes, so does the early free agency. So all over the league, guys with four or five years in the league who would become free agents will find themselves RFAs (restricted free agents) rather than UFAs.
Their current teams will be able to tender (offer) them standard one year contracts. There are several levels of tenders. If the tender offer is a higher level, the team will get draft picks as compensation if another team signs that player away. At the highest tender level, the price tag is a first round AND a third round pick.
Also, the current team has the right to match any offer made to a tendered RFA to keep the player. It becomes that team's choice - match the offer and keep the player, or let the other team sign the player away and take the draft picks.
According to several reports, there are currently a total of 212 potential free agents that will be affected. These are players who would become true (unrestricted) free agents if we get a new CBA to restore the cap before March but will drop back to RFAs without a new deal.

the injuries are starting to build
The Falcons come off an 11-5 season under their new coach and new GM, and they start the year with a scorching hot 6-2 record.
Yes, I know they've only played five games and are now 4-1. That was a flashback to 2005. The problem then was that injuries were building up throughout that early run. And by midseason, a whole lot of backups (and in some cases, backups to the backups) were getting a whole lot of playing time.
The result... the Falcons won only two games in the second half of the season and finished 8-8, missing the playoffs.
This year's initial roster had much better depth. But you can only go two or three deep at any position when you're limited to a 53-man total and a 45-man game day active roster. So regardless of how deep you are coming out of the gate, if you get multiple injuries at one position, it's a problem.
This year, the Falcons had their bye in week four. Atlanta is now two weeks into a stretch of thirteen straight games without a rest. And the injuries are starting to pile up.
It didn't get as much attention as when Brian Williams or Jerious Norwood went out, but Atlanta also lost backup safety William Moore... again. Moore left the game with another hamstring problem. It's turning into the same situation the team had with Laurent Robinson last year. Robinson played well in 2008 - for a grand total of five quarters at WR. But he missed a lot of preseason and early season action with an injury, then tweaked his hamstring, and then re-injured it the moment he returned to practice. Now it's happening with Moore. Hopefully the Falcons won't give up on their second round DB and give him away in a bad trade the way they did their third round WR.
The catch - Antoine Harris is still out with his knee injury, not practicing at all last week. So the Falcons don't have a healthy backup safety on the roster at all. And the main guy who would sub at safety in an emergency... Brian Williams. Uh oh.
The usual practice is for the team to wait until Wednesday to talk about the extent of injuries, since that's when the first official injury report of the week gets released. It also fits the team's regular schedule, since the injured players would normally spend most of the day with medical staff. Smitty wouldn't have the latest info until after he meets with the media. (That's by design - it's simple to deflect questions when you really don't have any info.) And Tuesday is the team's day off, so the Wednesday afternoon Q&A after practice is the first time the word gets out.
But this week may be treated a little differently since the trade deadline is tomorrow. The team's own front office absolutely HAS to know ASAP if Norwood and Williams will be out for the year or an extended time so that they can have a day to work the phones and make a deal if needed. And if Smitty has that info (or if Daryl Ledbetter or another writer thinks about it and manages to corner Dimitroff), the team is usually pretty good about at least summarizing it.
So there's a chance we'll hear something after this afternoon's press time - especially if it's really bad news.
Now for a little what-if...
(a) suppose Norwood's hip flexor thing is major and he's headed to IR. The option that would probably be the fan favorite is that Thomas Brown is still available. While Mughelli is out, that would leave the team with a four-back group similar to last year. Verron Haynes would be the principal fullback with Jason Snelling doing double-duty as backup RB and backup FB. Brown would take Norwood's spot as a backup RB.
(b) if Brian Williams is gone, the CB situation isn't that much of a problem. The team is already carrying six CBs on the roster anyway. We'd be back to Brent Grimes, Chris Houston, and Chevis Jackson as the main three. That's what the team was planning to do all along anyway. And if those three struggle, it's still only a matter of time before Tye Hill is ready for action. Domonique Foxworth became a starter in week eight last year.
The real question is what to do at safety without Williams being available. Moore is banged up. Harris is banged up. William Middleton cross-trained at safety, but he's now with the Jaguars. Lawyer Milloy is now with the Seahawks.
At this point, it might be for the best if Moore's hamstring problem is serious enough for the team to put him on the shelf for the year. It's clear he won't be playing in the secondary anytime soon. If he's healthy, he can work special teams. But considering he missed all but one week of training camp, all of preseason, has had only three weeks of full participation in practice, and is out from practice again for the forseeable future, it's hard to imagine the team would give him the responsibility of being the last line of defense in the backfield anytime in 2009.
If he's on the shelf (by that I mean if the team puts him on IR), that would free up the roster spot for someone else who really could play the defensive backfield if necessary.
The three names that come to mind right away are the three Falcons who didn't make the final roster cut. That's intentional - it's not that I'm playing favorites, but that if you need a guy who could step in immediately, the obvious choice is someone who spent all training camp and preseason in your system. The good news is that they're all available.
Jamaal Fudge also knows Smitty's defenses after playing for Smith and DB coach Alvin Reynolds in Jacksonville. And he was the guy Smitty turned to last year when Lawyer Milloy was too banged up to play the final regular season game. He'd be the most likely candidate.
Von Hutchins is still available too. He wasn't healthy enough for full duty in the secondary during preseason, but he was getting really close. He's had two more months to recover, while everyone else in the league has had two months of contact to get banged up. If he's now back to about 90%, that would put him roughly on par with everyone else. He'd be capable of being a backup. Keep in mind that half his career starts were at safety rather than CB, and that he got more playing time at safety in camp this year than at CB anyway. He's had the reps. He'd be a strong choice - if he's physically up to playing condition.
The other issue was that he signed a pretty big free agent contract here before the 2008 season. It would have been tough for the team to carry his base salary purely as a backup role - especially if he couldn't beat out Grimes or Jackson for the nickel corner job. But that's out of the way now. The team is free to re-sign him to a smaller contract that will fit within the salary cap.
And I said there were three ex-Falcons... the third is Eric Brock, the camp walk-on who made the practice squad and ended the season on the roster last year. Even if the team re-signed Fudge or Hutchins or made a trade for another safety, they should still consider bringing Brock back to the practice squad ASAP. They need the depth.

Noteworthy plays from the Rams game
Smitty referred to the Lions game as "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". The second preseason game had more of the same.
Here are details for some of the significant plays. If you still have the video recorded (from either the Falcons feed live or the Rams feed via the NFL Network replay), please check them out...
The TV graphics and announcers all said that Todd McClure started but noted later that Brett Romberg had come in at center. Actually, Romberg was there from the beginning. The rest of the starting offensive lineup was the regular cast - Sam Baker, Justin Blalock, Harvey Dahl and Tyson Clabo on the front line.
The Falcons completely owned the Rams for the first two offensive series. The first drive had a heavy dose of Michael Turner, who then took the rest of the game off. The second was heavy on passes and used a lot of no-huddle offense.
The starting defensive line featured Chauncey Davis and John Abraham at DE with Babineaux and Trey Lewis at DT. Lewis did a fine job of drawing double teams.
The second defensive series had Peria Jerry come in to replace Lewis.
3:22 remaining Q1, Rams ball, 1st and 10 at STL 17 (first play of the drive) - this one got attention because Brent Grimes dropped an interception. He jumped too soon when he should have backpedaled a little more (he didn't recognize the pass was a total duck) and couldn't hold on to it in the air. Other details of the play: the Falcons only rushed the front four. Both DEs were collapsing the pocket, but Babs and Jerry were both beaten by single blockers. Side note - the intended receiver was a former prospect of ours, TE Daniel Fells.
2:44 Q1, Rams ball, 3rd and 10 at STL 17 - Atlanta blitzes, but it isn't effective. The mechanics of the failed pass rush: Abraham drops back into coverage. Coy Wire and Chevis Jackson both rush the passer. The other linemen do a twist, with each moving to their right while Jackson and Wire rush on the left side. All three defensive linemen are beaten easily by single blockers. The twist leaves the RT free to block Wire, and the running back picks up Jackson.
Meanwhile, Laurent Robinson (remember him?) beats Chris Owens for a 19 yard gain.
1:25 Q1, Rams ball, 2nd and 10 at STL 36 - John Abraham does a stunt, faking outside but then swings to his left to rush from the inside of the line. Babineaux breaks off into short coverage. HE HAS CONTAIN RESPONSIBILITY. Grimes is in zone coverage, shadowing Laurent Robinson.
Kyle Boller has no one open, sees space to his left (since Abe was coming in the middle) and breaks from the pocket. Laurent Robinson sees him take off and runs to the middle to block Babineaux.
Let that sink in for a moment... the WR who didn't fit into Atlanta's plans because he wasn't physical enough and couldn't block took on the starting DT and took him completely out of the play.
Grimes initially continued shadowing Robinson (that was his responsibility - Boller could still pull up and throw the ball) but then ran after the QB. He couldn't prevent him from turning the corner, and Boller picked up the first down.
The announcers made Grimes look bad, saying he was the one who lost contain. Cut the kid some slack - it wasn't his responsibility.
14:56 Q2, Rams ball, 3rd and 10 at ATL 40. The Falcons got really lucky on this play, which SHOULD have gone for a Rams touchdown. It was a play designed to attack the cover two, and the Falcons had a mishap at the start.
The Rams were in a 3 WR set. The Falcons were in their cover two nickel package with Chevis Jackson on the slot receiver on the same side (defensive right side, offensive left side) as Grimes, who was lined up on (him again) Laurent Robinson. Chris Owens (starting in place of Chris Houston) was on the receiver on the opposite side.
I have no idea what Jackson was trying to do, but he initially broke inside as if trying to jump a slant route. His receiver ran right past him, and Jackson chased after him all the way down the middle of the field - from five yards behind him.
On the other side, Owens released his man (also running deep) to the safety in the deep zone (Thomas DeCoud). When Robinson entered the deep zone, Grimes started to release him as well. But the safety on his side (Erik Coleman) wasn't there. Instead, he had run to the middle of the field to pick up Jackson's man.
Both safeties ended up on the defensive left side of the left hash mark, with no safety at all on the right half of the field. That's not supposed to happen.
Grimes chased after Robinson, but there's no way he was going to catch up. Fortunately the ball was badly overthrown. At the end of the play, Grimes looked back at his teammates as if asking what the heck happened.
The end result was good, but file that one under "The Ugly".
Baldinger pointed out the obvious fact that Booker should have caught the ball, but what we didn't see on the Atlanta broadcast was that Laurinaitis might not have made the pick cleanly. The ball definitely touched the ground as he came down with it, and it's questionable whether he had full control until after it touched. One shot looked like he momentarily didn't have it.
The guys in the St. Louis production truck showed it repeatedly on their broadcast, but Trent Green was busy rambling on about what a ball hawk Laurinaitis is and didn't get the hint that the play might be challenged. The Atlanta broadcast only showed the replay from the overhead camera, so Falcons fans had no idea the play was so close.
I mention it for two reasons. First, this was the longest completion for any Falcons QB so far this preseason - and it was wiped out by a silly penalty. Second, the coaching staff evaluates the film, not the box score. Shockley has had a bunch of passes that haven't counted as completions. The stats look horrible, but the film is much better.
The defensive line for the series had Sid and Jamaal Anderson at DE with Peria Jerry and Trey Lewis in the middle. Jamaal drops into coverage while Curtis Lofton rushes. (It's not a blitz since there were still only four pass rushers. Atlanta is mixing things up a bit so that the offense won't know who's coming and who's in coverage.)
Trey Lewis draws a double team. (He did that for most of the night.) Sidbury stunts, coming inside of Lewis while Lofton rushes around the end. Lofton gets there first but misses the sack. The QB steps up into the pocket and right into Sid Vicious, who beat his inside blocker with that spin move of his. (If you're not familiar with it, look up Sidbury on YouTube.)
2:12 Q2, Rams ball, 2nd and 9 at ATL 28. Follow that one up with one Grimes would rather forget. He didn't have his assignment and was out of position, leaving Burton wide open for a short catch. And then he too failed to make the tackle, allowing Burton to run for the first down.
Hey, at least our DBs were being consistent...
14:20 Q3, Rams ball, 2nd and 11 at STL 15. There had to be a mixup on the coverage assignments on this one. TE Daniel Fells was absurdly wide open. (None of the regulars were on the field for this entire series - Wire, Gilbert and James were the LBs with Owens and Middleton at corner and Harris and Brock at safety.)
10:13 Q3, Falcons ball, 2nd and 8 at ATL 29. This was the sack/fumble.
Ben Hartsock was the TE on the right side. He went out for a short curl route. The Rams overloaded that side of the line, with two rushers coming free.
Shockley had to know he had to throw it to the hot receiver. The big question is WHO was supposed to be the hot read? If you check the replay, Shockley looked immediately to Jason Rader (TE on the left side) and started a throwing motion. But Rader didn't turn around in time. Shockley tucked it and instantly got hit and stripped.
(Hmmm.... could the "Tuck Rule" have applied here?)
9:30 Q3, Rams ball, 2nd and 8 at ATL 20. Brock Berlin hits the 20 yard TD pass. chris Owens actually had decent coverage, but he had no safety help. Eric Brock was up short (probably by design, playing run support) and not in position to help on the play.
Shockley drops back to pass and no one is open. He sees daylight in the middle - and for the first time this preseason, he decides to run for it.
Unfortunately, he's playing behind the backup offensive line. The DT (Scott) sheds his block and tackles Shockley just as he hits the hole.
It didn't work out, but it was a pretty good decision. The opportunity was there, and it was safer than risking an interception.
This one is Fudge's play he'd like to forget. He's beaten by Bajema for a short completion and then can't make the tackle, allowing Bajema to run for the first down and keep the drive alive. (Hmmm... sound familiar? Same play, different corner, cheap movie...) William Middleton comes over to make the tackle, but only after a 16 yard gain on 3rd and 15.
14:55 Q4, Falcons ball, 3rd and 8 at ATL 25. John Parker Wilson is now in at QB. His first pass was off target, overthrowing Chandler Williams. This one was slightly behind Eric Weems, but close enough for Weems to make the play. Weems got his hands on it but couldn't catch it, instead tipping it up for it to become an interception. Maybe these things don't ONLY happen to D.J. Shockley...
Zinger has only played TE with the mop-up unit, but keep him in mind as a contender for the #3 TE spot. He has done well with what little opportunity he's had on offense, and more importantly he plays on every single special teams unit (including forming the wedge with Brett Romberg on kickoff returns).
5:34 Q4, Falcons ball, 1st and 10 at STL 32. Jason Snelling breaks off a 23 yard run to take it inside the 10.
The four Rams RBs had a grand total of 60 yards rushing for the whole game. Snelling had 61 all by himself.
Give due credit all around - Atlanta's defensive line and linebackers got it done on run defense. Oh, and we have some pretty darn good running backs of our own. Snelling's a beast, and he's competing to be the freaking THIRD STRING running back.
For those of us old enough to remember the days of Haskel Stanback and Bubba Bean, that's enough to give us goosebumps.
1:54 Q4, Rams ball, 1st and 10 at ATL 38. This is the one exception to the excellent run defense. 4th string RB Kenneth Darby (a fine prospect who was plucked off of Atlanta's practice squad last season) charged straight up the middle for 21 yards.
The Rams were in a 3-WR formation, with the Falcons playing their nickel package. It was EXACTLY the same situation as last year, when Grady Jackson would leave the field on nickel situations and teams could plow right through the middle.
Here's the breakdown of the play:
DT Tywain Myles (who wasn't expected to play in this game) lined up on the left guard. Vance Walker lined up just outside the right guard. The defensive ends (Sidbury and Willie Evans) lined up on the TE and outside the left tackle.
At the snap, the right guard let Walker get penetration on the OUTSIDE (away from the play) and moved downfield to block one linebacker (Tony Gilbert). The left tackle and tight end blocked the defensive ends, with the idea of allowing them around the outsides (again, away from the play) but protecting the inside. The right tackle was free to move downfield and block the other linebacker (Robert James).
The center blocked to his left, completely bulldozing Tywain Myles. The left guard pulled and sealed off the right side, preventing Walker from getting back into the play before the runner got through the line.
With the WRs either blocking or running the CBs away from the play and both LBs blocked by offensive linemen, the first guys with a shot at Darby were the two safeties (Von Hutchins and Eric Brock) - who were both lined up in deep zones for pass protection against the 3-WR set. They both made the play at first contact, but that was 21 yards downfield.
What they didn't mention was the call by Brian VanGorder. He sent seven rushers after the QB.
Yep... with the game on the line, the Rams in a spread formation (3 WRs plus TE split off on the right side) and his mop-up defense on the field, VanGorder dialed up the Gritz Blitz. WOW...
It would otherwise seem insane to leave Jamaal Fudge, Glenn Sharpe, Tony Tiller and Eric Brock all in one-on-one matchups in the red zone. Von Hutchins, the only experienced DB on the field, was one of the blitzers. (I'm sure VanGorder did that on purpose, just to throw the kids into the deep end of the pool.) But considering the opponent was a fourth string rookie QB, it wasn't a bad idea.
The QB (Keith Null, from West Texas A&M) got spooked and threw a bad pass for the pick. Two receivers had separation (Fudge was well behind his man on a short crossing route), but Null threw the ball straight to Eric Brock. Game over.

A Kicker Faces His Former Team...
The media has already jumped on the story of Jason Elam and Domonique Foxworth facing their former teams. (Tyson Clabo also started his career with the Broncos, signing with them as an undrafted free agent in 2004. Jamaal Fudge is likely to remain on the inactive list, but he's also a former Bronco.)
But the best story of a player coming back to face a former team goes the other direction... A Falcons staffer told me in preseason that our Birds would probably have won four more games last season if we only had a kicker. I always get a chuckle out of that idea, because we actually had several of them.
First we had Aaron Elling, but we cut him in camp to go with Billy Cundiff. Cundiff kicked extremely well in camp and was rock solid in the first three preseason games. Then, in the final week of preseason, Matt Prater became available. Special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg had been watching the kid for a while and liked what he saw, and he had GM Rich McKay invite the young kicker in for a workout with the coaching staff.
Petrino never even had him practice with the team. He didn't even watch a complete workout. He simply had McKay sign the young kicker, had Prater kick the final exhibition game (when he had the entire first unit take the night off), and unexpectedly cut Cundiff the next morning in favor of the kid with the tribal armband tattoos on BOTH arms.
Falcon fans remember the rest of the story, though hardly any can even remember the kid's name. Prater was working through a brief period with some mechanical issues. He had pulled one of his three kicks in that final exhibition game. He also pulled one of his two attempts in the first regular season game against the Vikings - but hardly anyone cared, as the game wasn't particularly close, and the Falcons had many other problems to occupy everyone's minds.
But in the second game, against Smitty and the Jags no less, he shanked both of his attempts. Both were from short to middle range, and the Falcons ended up losing the game by... six points. The ever-so-patient hog caller released him immediately, and by that Wednesday Atlanta had once again dragged Morten Andersen back into action.
Meanwhile, the Broncos had a tendency of carrying a second kicker strictly for kickoffs in order to save Jason Elam's leg. (This was what I had hoped the Falcons would have done with Cundiff and Prater.) In midseason, they picked up Prater as their second kicker.
He worked out the mechanical problem he had during his whopping 17-day Falcon career and became their full time kicker after Elam's departure. Today, many Bronco fans claim he's better than Elam.
Mike Shanahan was asked if he's looking forward to seeing Jason Elam again. Shanahan joked of course not - he's kicking against us. I feel the same way about Prater. Rosburg was right. The kid has astounding potential, and Petrino cast him aside after just one bad game.
I'm glad things worked out well for him, and I'm looking forward to seeing him in action again. Considering that Petrino did more damage to Atlanta than General Sherman, Prater was probably lucky to have been set free so early. He missed the misery of the next 12 weeks that followed here in Atlanta (which many of the players compared to a form of purgatory - except worse), and he landed on his feet in a great situation for a young kicker.
Unfortunately for us, the kid has a cannon of a leg. If the Broncos choose to have him kick deep, expect to see the Falcons starting at the 20-yard line after any Denver kickoff. And if anyone in the league right now is capable of kicking a game-winning 60+ yard field goal, my money would be on Prater as the guy most likely to do it.

We're considering a move (not immediately, but within a year or so) and are considering possibly the Texas Gulf Coast...also open to other ideas. What I'm looking for is very, very warm weather, approaching or in the 80's even in the winter, and I think that area would be like that. (We spent years living overseas by the equator and it's what I prefer.) Actually I also loved Miami/Kendall when we were there for a time, but my husband doesn't want to be right in that city. Any thoughts?
Houston/Galveston does not have winters that warm - more like 60's a lot of the time and 40's pretty often. And when it's cold it's a damp, clammy, windy cold that cuts right through you.
I don't know if it's possible to get far enough south on the west side of the Gulf to have winters that warm and still be in Texas, but hopefully someone familiar with the Corpus Christi/Brownsville area will chime in.
I think to get that warm anywhere in the mainland US you are looking at about as far south as Miami, but I am curious what Fort Myers, Naples or West Palm Beach are like. Looking forward to the Floridians to chime in.
"I am a degenerate art supply junkie" - Jane Davenport
Palm springs is nice but not always 80.
I like Tucson too but then again not 80.
Perhaps other places in FL. Smaller towns.
Maybe somewhere is south america. We like Brazil and Argentina but the plane ride is so long.
Singapore!!! My absolute favorite place in SE Asia that has the weather you're seeking.
------I'm finally a blogger!
If you are looking for an area that has any population really at all. you would be looking at Corpus Christi.. Not too small.. not too large.
But you would need to check out the insurance in that zone. We lived there for a while.. its where I met DH.. I would go back if it weren't such a drive from the kiddos..
The nice thing about Corpus is its a short drive to San Antoine. And the outlets at San Marcos.
I loved Miami but hubby didn't. And I love the humidity. Weird I know.
Maybe north of Miami, Jupiter is nice.
I think from some reading I've been doing, you're right....maybe the Corpus Christi area, and otherwise, Florida. As you say, it needn't be Miami exactly...there are other nice and hot places in FL. I'm glad you shared that about Houston/Galveston. A damp, clammy, windy cold is one of the exact things I'm trying to eliminate. Thanks!
I have a feeling it may be FL, as you mention. My only thought about Arizona is that it's going to be dry heat, whereas I'm ideally looking for humid heat (I know, that sounds odd, but I do...). S. America...maybe another country someday. But we have children and they still need college, so...we need to be here. Thank you!
Oh Ming, I love SE Asia! But for now, it's the mainland, as my children still will need college in a few years, so, must be here. I follow a bunch of blogs from gals in SE Asia, though. One can dream, eh?
Corpus Christi sounds like what I might be looking for, in Texas! I will be sure to check out details, like insurance...There are a lot of details to check (something I learned the first time we bought a house...when I didn't know better). That's good to know that Corpus Christi is in a good proximity to some other areas like San Antonio. Thank you!

When ever I start up certain games. Say Raven Shield or Oni. I can't see the game because my moniter won't draw the image and I get an out of range issue. Anyone know how to change the resolution of a game when you are not in the game. I would change it from inside the game. But it doesn't draw to the moniter. Any other ideas?

(Washington, DC) — DC Police are seeing an increase in the number of purses being stolen from the backs of chairs in area clubs and restaurants. An alert was issued yesterday, warning people in the Second District about the thefts. Investigators say the thieves very skilled and have apparently practiced their techniques. Police say in many cases, the thefts are carried out by teams who distract customers and employees and divert their attention from their purses, wallets and cellphones. The victims often don't know their items have been stolen until it's time for them to pay their bills.

Four in court for panga murderComment on this story
Cape Town - Four men accused of killing a Saldanha woman with a panga appeared in the Western Cape High Court on Friday.
Prosecutor Romay van Rooyen asked for another pre-trial conference next month for Marlon van Wyk, Sharif Padayachee, Ricardo Williams and Jerome Januarie.
They would appear again on May 23.
Padayachee was out on bail. The rest remained in custody.
They stand accused of killing 32-year-old Sinodia Schutt last February by smashing her jaw and slashing her with a panga.
Schutt had reportedly been in the process of trying to evict people from her home at the time of her death.

Chapter out! Enjoy it!
wuhu spoilers at last! cant read jap so i had to bare with google translate.... mentions "mother" alot so i think its about big mum... somebody please translate it!
If it mentions mother then they most likely are talking something about otohime....
nah mostly while "mother" is mentioned in the google translate next is hodi's name so and the last part translates "Her identity was found in Ho Di Jones"
Ho D. Jones, ROFL
Nah// got some translation.. seems like hody has some tragedy in his past /// things are looking interesting and spoiler sounds promising
Hodi was molested during his childhood, so he swore to show 100 diffrent rape faces to us when he grows up.
The truth is :It doesn't look promising at all to me.
I've had enough of this arc, and things aren't moving fast enough. This chapter seems like it describes what happened during 30s.
And from the looks of it, there could be another flashback coming again .... sigh
wtf, another chapter where nothing happens.... i don't really care about hody or FI in general , i just want this arc end as soon as possible or at least see some good fights .
Im preparing myself for a big gamechanger looks like this weeks cliff hanger is gonna kill me, anything that can make Luffy slow his desire to defeat Hodi is important on another scale
A Hody Jones tragedy? Ah crap. Maybe he is going to be the next crew member. Lol
wake me when we are in the new world. Last thing I want is Hodi's backstory hahaha
Damn.I just wanted to see the new forms of Chopa,and now i'll see the annoying Hodi.This is not Oda that we all know... :(
rofl as if hodi's past is something to end as a suspensful chapter on. bhahaha
A back story is needed, Hodi's story must be told because so far he is the main villain, just like Lucci was. I don't know if he is going to be the next nakama but it could happen because the SH's need a fishman. I once saw a theory about the pandora's box opening and making jimbei younger so he could join but that's a stretch too.

In a recently published study, scientists at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute invented a technique for imaging nanoparticle dynamics with atomic resolution as these dynamics occur in a liquid environment. The results will allow, for the first time, the imaging of nanoscale processes, such as the engulfment of nanoparticles into cells.
"We were stunned to see the large-ranged mobility in such small objects," said Deborah Kelly, an assistant professor at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute. "We now have a system to watch the behaviors of therapeutic nanoparticles at atomic resolution."
Nanoparticles are made of many materials and come in different shapes and sizes. In the new study, Kelly and her colleagues chose to make rod-shaped gold nanoparticles the stars of their new molecular movies. These nanoparticles, roughly the size of a virus, are used to treat various forms of cancer. Once injected, they accumulate in solid tumors. Infrared radiation is then used to heat them and destroy nearby cancerous cells.
To take an up-close look at the gold nanoparticles in action, the researchers made a vacuum-tight microfluidic chamber by pressing two silicon-nitride semiconductor chips together with a 150-nanometer spacer in between. The microchips contained transparent windows so the beam from a transmission electron microscope could pass through to create an atomic-scale image.
Using the new technique, the scientists created two types of visualizations. The first included pictures of individual nanoparticles' atomic structures at 100,000-times magnification – the highest resolution images ever taken of nanoparticles in a liquid environment.
The second visualization was a movie captured at 23,000-times magnification that revealed the movements of a group of nanoparticles reacting to an electron beam, which mimics the effects of the infrared radiation used in cancer therapies.
In the movie, the gold nanoparticles can be seen surfing nanoscale tidal waves.
"The nanoparticles behaved like grains of sand being concentrated on a beach by crashing waves," said Kelly. "We think this behavior may be related to why the nanoparticles become concentrated in tumors. Our next experiment will be to insert a cancer cell to study the nanoparticles' therapeutic effects on tumors."
The team is also testing the resolution of the microfluidic system with other reagents and materials, bringing researchers one step closer to viewing live biological mechanisms in action at the highest levels of resolution possible.
The study appeared in the April 14 print edition of Chemical Communications in the article "Visualizing Nanoparticle Mobility in Liquid at Atomic Resolution," by Madeline Dukes, an applications scientist at Protochips Inc. in Raleigh, N.C.; Benjamin Jacobs, an applications scientist at Protochips; David Morgan, assistant manager of the Cryo-Transmission Electron Microscopy Facility at Indiana University Bloomington; Harshad Hegde, a computer scientist at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute; and Kelly, who is also an assistant professor of biological sciences in the College of Science at Virginia Tech.

It's a pleasure to see the renaissance continue in downtown Pensacola.
On Sunday, we reported two items we believe will contribute to the evolution of the city's main entertainment corridor - Palafox Street south through Palafox Place to Plaza de Luna.
They are:
» The opening last week of The Palafox House at North Palafox and Gregory streets. It's available to rent for parties, business meetings and other events. It's part of the growing Great Southern Restaurant Group, co-owned by community leader Collier Merrill, who told reporter Carlton Proctor that The Palafox House is part of an overall design to keep people downtown after work and attract others.
"The more places that we can create, that aren't typical office buildings and that get people downtown, the greater downtown we can build," he said.
» The public piano program about to begin downtown. The brainchild of University of West Florida music department, pianos will be placed at different locations, allowing the public to tickle the ivories. They will become an attraction much like our whimsical pelican statues that are popular with locals and tourists.
"We want to help instill a love of music and culture throughout the city," Hedi Salanki, a UWF distinguished professor of music, who is leading the campaign, told reporter Troy Moon. The piano have another benefit: They will be painted with Pensacola-related themes, which will showcase local artists.
The latest improvements are just part of an effort by enterprising people who want to create an atmosphere that caters to just about any taste. They follow the opening of the Vinyl Music Hall and the reopening of the renovated Saenger Theatre as part of the welcome revival downtown over the last 10 years. A key component of this transformation came in April when the Blue Wahoos baseball stadium opened, providing entertainment to hundreds of thousands during the spring and summer. Holiday events, including public skating, also attracted healthy crowds.
It's a welcome sight to see it bustling seven days a week, especially on nights where there is no major draw. After all, it wasn't always that way. Because government and professional offices populated many of the buildings 10 years ago, the downtown corridor would close down about 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. On the weekends, the foot traffic was sparse at best; the opportunities to enjoy lunch or dinner were few and far between.
Downtown Pensacola is moving in the right direction.

LOS ANGELES -- Just one day after Steven Tyler announced he was leaving "American Idol," host Ryan Seacrest has confirmed that Jennifer Lopez will also be departing the show's panel.
"Just confirmed with @JLo she's made up her mind...will leave idol. :( gonna miss her," he tweeted.
The singer made the announcement when she did an interview with "On Air With Ryan Seacrest" Friday morning.
"I really was dreading this phone call with you," Lopez told Seacrest. "I honestly feel the time has come that I have to get back to doing the other things that I do that I've put kind of on hold because I love 'Idol' so much. ... I could keep just doing 'Idol' for the rest of my life, but that would be giving up a bunch of other things and I just ... I don't know. We had an amazing run."
Seacrest offered to be her assistant to give the time to do all she wants and convince her, but it wasn't enough for the superstar.
"I just don't know if I could be there every single day, all the time, the way we've been doing the past two years. ... You know how it is!" Lopez responded, confirming to the "Idol" host that she had made up her mind to leave.
"The time has come," she said.
Fox has not responded to a request for comment.

What is happening in Syria is an increasingly deteriorating situation that looks like a total stalemate between the Syrian Government and the Syrian Population. The violence and bloodshed continues and other human rights abuses in spite of the peace plan and sanctions imposed. Bashar al-Assad has shown no willingness to step down or put an end to the mass killings and the rebels are not prepared to put down their arms because they fear to do so would only allow Assad to stay in power and continue killing the Syrian people unchallenged. Thus it has become very obvious that a peaceful solution will not be possible given the current situation. How many Syrians have to die before countries within the United Nations agree to setup no fly zones within Syria to attempt to stop much of the killings happening in Syria. (make sure to read until end of the article)
I see no fly zones being the best way to stop the mass killings in Syria. I realize compared to Libya Syria's government has a much more advanced and much larger military. I realize as well Syria has an air force and much in the way of anti-aircraft weaponry. Thus such a venture will be significantly more dangerous and costly but I do not see how such is avoidable if the UN is to intervene through its member countries. Coordination with the rebels on the ground will be essential as will be adequate intelligence gathering. Assad's government has substantial stockpiles of chemical weapons that must be kept from being used by the Syrian government, moved by the government to undisclosed locations, or hijacked by terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and Hezbollah. A further thing to consider is how densely populated many areas in Syria is so care must be taken to avoid civilian casualties. In spite of these risk for carrying out such a mission as no-fly zones I see setting up a no-fly zones as the surest way to prevent as much mass killings as possible. No-fly zones in themselves are not going to solve all of Syria's problems alone but they along with intelligence gathering, communication with rebel forces, and keeping up with diplomatic pressure on the Assad regime will be a major leap forward in improving the situation in Syria.
I am well aware of the international politics at play and understand the fears of getting militarily involved. I am aware of the economic problems many of the member nations are facing and unrest and division at home. I also understand the hesitancy to get involved in another conflict after all the problems in recent conflicts. I know Russia and China are probably not ever going to accept no fly zones unless they can be guaranteed they are only for defensive and not offensive purposes and are offered some kind of, pardon my bluntness, bribe. I always prefer things being done through The United Nations and getting an international consensus. However unless and until more pressure and diplomacy are used on Russia and China I see little hope of a UN solution being feasible. Russia especially so seems to reject any military or aggressive diplomatic option and I do not see this dynamic changing given the current situation. I am not sure if Russia ever can be won over but I do not think other nations besides the United States and Britain have put adequate pressure and used enough diplomacy to communicate with Russia. Rather most nations have used Russia's opposition as a get out of jail free card by not getting involved more directly. Rather then stepping up to the plate they blame Russia and the UN Envoy for nothing getting done. It's time for the nations of the world to step up and work on ending these crimes against humanity in Syria. Ending crimes against humanity in Syria should be the sole purpose of any action in Syria. No other political issues should be brought in as they will only make the diplomatic talks that much more fragmented and ineffective.
All who still wish for a diplomatic solution I believe are being too Utopian in their views. Yes a diplomatic channel always needs to be open and a diplomatic solution is part of the solution but it in this situation can not be the whole solution. I think Russia could play a major role in the diplomatic part of the solution as they besides Iran have trust within the Syrian government. Russia can work on the diplomatic talks and political solution while the United States and other European and Middle Eastern Nations set up defensive no fly zones to protect large population centers within Syria. I believe fighting this situation on these two fronts has the most chance to succeed. It should not be a diplomacy or military solution but a diplomacy and military solution. Even if Assad were to step down many problems will still remain in Syria that can only be solved diplomatically. Those who write off diplomacy and only want a military solution are being too hawkish and those who write off a military action of any kind and only want a diplomatic solution are being too unrealistic. The divide between those favoring a military solution and those favoring a diplomatic solution can be bridged if both sides are willing to give and take. The diplomatic supporters will need assurance that a military solution will take the utmost caution to avoid civilian casualties and will be defensive in nature not offensive. The military option supporters will need assurance that the participating nations will live up to their commitments and be willing to participate in setting up no-fly zones, communications with the rebels, and help with intelligence gathering.
The world for the sake of the Syrian people needs to come together at the diplomatic table and work out a solution that has a good shot at stopping or greatly eliminating the crimes against humanity occurring in Syria. These talks and diplomatic negotiations and deal making need to take place immediately. All the talk in the whole of the world though is not going to save one Syrian child from being tortured in a Syrian prison, not one Syrian woman from being raped, not one Syrian man from being killed by sniper fire, not one Syrian family from having their house bombarded with artillery fire. It is time for solutions not just talks of solutions. Enough time has been spent trying to stay the course which has not showed even a little sign of making significant progress. Yes the former course was the best course and was the best chance to avoid cost in terms of life and treasure but the course is not taking us where we need to go. When you realize you have taken the wrong path on your journey do you keep walking on the same path or try to find another path to get you where you are going? I say it is time for a new path, a path that has a good chance of creating the desired result which is ending crimes against humanity, and a path that actually has a chance of getting international agreement. Let us begin traveling this path today because the Syrian people literally have their very lives hanging in the balance.

A Birthday Gift From The Other Side! May 18th, 2010 So normally I don't post unless it's the monthly inspirational message, but this story is so incredible that even as a medium, I was completely shocked! So I thought I'd share… Today is my mother's birthday and I was planning to see her over the weekend. During that time I was going to give her a gift and I wasn't planning on sending anything in the mail. However, I was woken up by a message early this morning (around 8:30am) that told me to buy her a dozen roses. I saw the image of the roses in my mind — and "knew" that this was her best friend who had passed a few years ago. She has come to me...Read More
More About Lexi – Testimonial from Guest May 22nd, 2008 Good Evening, I just received an e-mail testimonial from the guest I wrote about in my blog post below about events happening while a gallery is taking place, only to be validated later. Of course I don't remember all the details, so it really helped that Pat sent me her version of what transpired after the session. I wanted to share this with all of you so that you could see that even if you don't understand information while you are having the session, wonderful validations could happen somtimes many months later. In my opinion, these moments make the experience all the more...Read More
Don't Hesitate to Validate! May 21st, 2008 Hello Again, Wow, I'm double dipping today. Hopefully, this will make up for all this time that I didn't write. Either too much or not enough right? As most of you know (or may not know), the difference between mediums and psychics are vast. Performing readings at group events can be physically draining at times. A medium not only receives messages but must also be a translator for the messages coming through. The ability to interpret the language correctly becomes very instrumental in attempting to relay the message to the living person. Last Friday, we had a gallery at The Crowne Plaza Monroe, near East Brunswick NJ....Read More

7 out of 7 people found this review helpful:Down the rabbit holeA fantastic adaptation of an awesome manga. It honestly ended too soon, without really beginning to delve into the true story. But it makes for a stunning introduction to the larger tale, with a memorable cast of unusual characters and music by the legendary Yuki Kajiura.
Nothing is what it seems, and a much darker story lurks beneath the charming exterior.
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful:OMFG!!!!!!! CRUNCHUROLL FINALLY HAS THIS!!!!!!!!This was a GREAT anime! The manga is like 50 times better and is still going on, so i highly recomend looking it up. Especialy if your not satisfied with this anime's crappy ending. (It's so bad) It follows the manga about half way in, but after that it's ot worth watching. Guys, once you get to about episode 12 or 13, LOOK UP THE MANGA. It's so awesome!
5 out of 7 people found this review helpful:VERY nice, an instant favoriteI found this anime from Black Butler, and I think its a tiny bit better. It has a slowish start, and I got confused a lot, but the characters are so life like, their experiences and stories are realistic, not like some anime where the stories are unrealistic.Read more

And I'm surprised not a lot of people mentioned it in the reviews. So I'm warning you now, you'll be confused. Maybe it's because I didn't read the manga but I had to take my time watching this one (maybe two episodes a day or so) because I felt lost a lot of times.Read more

Only one problem the anime is short and in my opinion should have been longer. Go watch it if you haven't.

That said, I started this anime because the cover looked interesting and had elements of things I liked: magic and fantasy elements + it didn't look like any of the characters were overtly sexual.

For those complaining about paying money to watch it, how about you stop complaining and look elsewhere online for the show.

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Terrific~!! (However, something is missing...)I enjoyed watching Pandora Hearts from start to finish. I would love to read the manga so I could better understand some of the details I never quite understood. I think the show had a decent amount of episodes, considering that this was possibly made to promote the manga (however, I wouldn't mind seeing more episodes if there are going to be anymore).Read more
But as much as I liked the show, something ...

Some of them I actually don't remember completely so I'll do the best I can in review form. As always the best part of the reviews from me are after the show.
Here's The Review:
I got to Station 4 roughly a half hour before the doors opened. and I was 3rd in line. So I guess you can figure out how the turn out was. I got inside and I had front row center the entire time.
At 6:15, The Absence started. They played 5 songs, I really didn't know them before the show, but I was really impressed by them.
Then came Blackguard, who due to technical difficulties could only play 4 songs. Firefight, Fear Of The Flesh, and 2 older songs. They had a fill in guitarist for the rest of their tour as their lead guitarist was not able to due this tour.
Then came Powerglove, who gave out Free Starbursts between songs, and of course the Inflatable Swords. I caught the purple one, and a girl net to me caught the pink one. I can't remember the names off hand but they played in very close order:
So Sexy Robotnik
Mario Minor
I hung out with the guys after the show, and While they do understand the hate they get. They are just playing to what they grew up on. They still plan on doing an original album of their own music at some point.
Then came the mighty Sabaton, who almost the entire crowd came there to see 9I'll get to that later) And I realize now that I was wrong, the promoter, Swordlord, picked out Sabaton's set which was:
Ghost Division
Primo Victoria
Coat of Arms
The Art of War
Cliffs of Gallipoli
40 to 1
Metal Machine
They were fucking amazing. Never before have I seen a band at Station 4 get the crowd going THIS MUCH. At the end of their set, (Thank God I'm 6ft 4in) I caught a drumstick mid-air. Everyone behind me was pissed, but fuck them I needed this because I don't know the next time, if ever, they will come back.
Then.....the entire crowd left.....seriously! Before Evergrey came on it was just people hanging onto the rail.
When Evergrey came on....there was 3 rows of people behind me....THAT'S IT! But Evergrey despite 95% of the people leaving played an amazing fucking set, the same set as the Cleveland show:
Leave It Behind Us
The Masterplan
Rulers of the Mind
Solitude Within
Mark of the Triangle
As I Lie Here Bleeding
Monday Morning Apocalypse
Watching the Skies
I'm Sorry
When the Walls Go Down
Recreation Day
Broken Wings
A Touch of Blessing
After the show is where all the usual fun started.
I immediately had to sit down for 10 minutes after and down some water because I was dying. Station 4 is one of the hottest venues around, literally, they need some more fans in there or air conditioning or something.
After I got energy again, I met up with Tom outside and had a great conversation. He had more then his fair share of Alcohol. I wish I could have recorded the whole conversation. I apologized to him for most of the crowd leaving before their set and he said 'Fuck man, if I had known Sabaton was that big here, we would have played before them...well not really but you know what I'm getting at."
Then we talked about their Iced Earth tour and they are actually trying really hard to come back in 2012. "It's not really up to us at this point, but we are trying. We want to come back, we love it here." Then I brought yup Maiden33 and he he immediately remembered him "Oh yeah I remember him saying he went to both shows. He was a really cool guy. Knows his shit" Then I got his Station I.D. and picture with him and let him carry on with drinking. haha.
Then I talked to two of the guys in Blackguard. They were kinda upset about the technical difficulties but the singer, with a great sense of humor said "Fuck it, we've been here 3 fucking times in 2 months, people know our songs here by now."
And again they are coming back in 2 weeks! But I got their station IDs and let them carry their stuff out to their trailer.
I then hung out for a bit with Jamie from The Absence and Chris from Powerglove who were talking about music with a good friend of mine who I might be recording drums for in his Power Metal band. After a good long talk with Chris and Jamie, they laughed their asses off at my radio show name because they know exactly where it was coming from. On a previous tour Chris said that one of the opening bands for them was simply known as Drummer...nothing else...just Drummer.
Powerglove of course will be coming back in 2012, hopefully on some bigger tours, nothing official yet. The Absence, they are trying as well but I guess they are having a harder time landing spots, but they aren't giving up hope. I want to see them again.
I would have loved to have hung out with Sabaton, but they left immediately after set set. So I got nothing from them except one of their sticks. The other went to the promoter Swordlord.
Overall, it was one of the best shows I have ever been to. I got to meet my 3rd biggest musical hero, Tom Englund and hang out with a lot of cool musicians. Overall VICTORY!

GOP "Southern Strategy" is not working
The Republican Party's infamous "Southern Strategy" is dying out, and that's a good thing.
The re-election of Barack Obama as president with a multiracial coalition from all sections of the country is evidence that the appeal to race is finally becoming a losing hand.
Richard Nixon was the first to implement the Southern Strategy.
The idea was to get whites to vote Republican by appealing to their racial impulses. Lyndon Johnson had predicted that the traditionally Democratic South would go Republican after he signed the Voting Rights Act, and that's what happened.
George Wallace, the arch-segregationist from Alabama, was key to the strategy's birth. Wallace, who ran for president in 1968 on a third-party ticket, gathered 13 percent of the vote. But Nixon was still able to win half the Southern states, while Wallace won the other half (except Texas). In 1972, Nixon won the entire South.
Over the years, the Southern Strategy evolved.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan announced that he was running for president in Philadelphia, Miss., the same city where three civil rights workers had been murdered in 1964 during Freedom Summer. Reagan spoke about states' rights in his speech. The racial message was obvious.
In 1988, George H.W. Bush surged ahead of Michael Dukakis by using the notorious Willie Horton ad. The campaign spot played to white fears by using the release of a black man on parole from prison.
In April 2010, then-Republican Party chairman, Michael Steele, an African-American, acknowledged that the party had pursued the Southern Strategy for 40 years.
In this latest presidential election, the strategy was present again.
During the GOP primaries, candidate Newt Gingrich rarely passed up an opportunity to refer to Obama as the "food stamp" president. Mitt Romney even managed to sneak in two references to food stamps during one of the presidential debates — actually, the one on foreign policy.
In August at a campaign rally, Romney joked to an audience there that "no one ever asked me for my birth certificate." That was a crass reference to the unfounded controversy surrounding Obama's birthplace.
John Sununu, an adviser to the Romney campaign, commented that Obama needed to "learn how to be an American."
In the end, the country rejected these low appeals, just as the vast majority of Americans are rejecting the new secessionists who have surfaced after the election.
These are tremendously positive signs for the United States. Now, almost 150 years since the end of the Civil War, we are at last putting the stain of race behind us.
