A new method is presented for the manufacturing of flexible, not buried and thin-walled hollow microstructures from polymer films. This low-cost method seems to be especially suited for the fabrication of plastic microstructures for fluidic one-way applications in the field of life sciences. It is based on a thermoforming process adapted to microstructure technology and is called 'microthermoforming'. Inside a hot embossing press, a heated thin thermoplastic film is formed into the evacuated microcavities of a plate-shaped metal mould using a compressed gas. The film may be heat-sealed on to a thicker plastic film substrate inside the same press without demoulding the thermoformed film. To demonstrate the performance of the new manufacturing method, flexible capillary electrophoresis and cell culture chips from polystyrene, polycarbonate and a cyclo-olefin polymer with 16 and 625 parallel microstructures each, respectively, have been fabricated.

G-Land is a magical place and one of the surfing world's most incredible surfing destinations. For many surfers, it's been a very special surfing site of primitive beauty and perfect waves. Located at Plengkung on the southern tip of peninsula of Java is the legendary Grajagan. This remote little camp on the edge of Plengkung jungle conveniently situated in Banyuwangi. Eastern Java Province has earned a big reputation among nomadic surfers all over the world. Like the primitive magical sound of its name, the mentions of Grajagan is an Indonesia incantation that causes surfers everywhere gaze longingly at the horizon.
There're 4 main sections of the reef break, depending on tide and swell. Kong's-the outside reef is surfable at low tide up to the limits of your courage and is great for carving big turns and always provides waves even on small days. Moneytrees, is often the prime take off point along the reef, from the Moneytrees section the wave lifts to a fast down the line inside peak called Launching Pads. The final section if this incredible wave is known as Speedies, and works on bigger swells that pitch thick and square, before funneling intensely for as long as 300 meters over the reef. The waves at G-Land are suitable for most competent surfers. Big gaping barrels, long perfect walls reeling down this endless point allowing surfers to Carve huge turns on the face, and ride some of the deepest and longest barrels of their life. At high tide the waves are easy to surf, and break in deeper water, at lower tide the waves really start barrel, zodiac transfer service is available to take you out to the break mid to high tide, during low tide simply walk across the reef to paddle out

It's a GIRL!!! After 3 boys we finally got our baby girl! We are beyond thrilled!! I am sending pink dust to all you ladies waiting!!
We did sway a little bit but I didn't get too involved with it. I took a couple supplements (calcium, mag and b6) and we mostly just timed it with using ovulation strips. We did the deed on a Sat and Sunday evening I got a positive ovulation test so we did it about 2 days before I actually ovulated.
Quoting ajzuell:

Survey: Tennessee ranks low in commitment to local foods
Tennessee is often at the top of national lists for the best states in which to conduct business, but it ranks poorly in terms of its commitment to local foods, according to a national food advocacy group.
The state ranks No. 40 on the Locavore Index, an annual list published by Strolling of the Heifers, a Vermont-based nonprofit. The group uses census and U.S. Department of Agriculture data, along with a per capita comparison of farmers' markets, consumer supported agriculture operations (CSAs) and food hubs to rank states in the survey.
Tennessee may rank poorly in the survey, but Linnet Overton, director of advocacy and development at Nashville-based Community Food Advocates, said Davidson County would likely rank higher if it were evaluated separately. She said great strides have been made in in the local food market. Several neighborhood-specific farmers' markets have sprouted up, community gardens are plentiful and there are multiple area restaurants that feature locally sourced food, including The Catbird Seat, Flyte, Wild Cow, Miel and Sloco.
"We have an amazingly active and productive local food movement in Nashville," Overton said. "But when you look at the state as a whole, you'll find there are a lot of communities, particularly in rural areas, that lack access. It's a very long journey to make the changes necessary to improve accessibility."
The term "locavore," and the locavorism movement, are recent additions to the cultural vocabulary. "Locavore" made its first appearance in 2005 and was designated the 2007 Word of the Year by the Oxford American Dictionary. As a movement, locavorism advocates a preference for local food because that food is generally fresher, has shorter (i.e., more environmentally friendly) trucking hauls and is wasted less in distribution, warehousing and merchandising.
According to the survey, the top five states for locavorism, in order, are Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, North Dakota and Iowa.

November 28, 2015
At least 101 inmates died in the custody of the Harris County Jail between January 2001 to December 2006.
That's according to a Houston Chronicle review of state and county records published yesterday.
The newspaper said that at least 72 of the inmates had been awaiting court hearings and had yet to be convicted of the crimes that led to their incarceration at the time of their deaths.
Through records and interviews, the study found that one-third of the deaths involved questions of inadequate responses from guards and staff, failure by jail officials to provide inmates with essential medical and psychiatric care and medications, unsanitary conditions, and two allegations of physical abuse by guards.
Eleven of the deaths involved infections and illnesses that suggest sanitation problems and ten other cases suggest possible neglect.
No jail staffers were found to have directly contributed to any of the deaths.
As a comparison, there where 70 deaths in the Dallas County Jail in the same time period.
In written responses to questions Harris County Sheriff Tommy Thomas said jail officials conduct medical screenings on more than 91-hundred prisoners housed in the jail each month.
He says the "delivery of health care to inmates is further challenged by the fact that many inmates lacked preventative health care in the free world, many suffered from substance abuse prior to incarceration, and many come to jail with chronic, untreated medical conditions."

It's our favorite day of the week: Moonday!
Usually, Mondays are a whole lot easier to get through when Teen Wolf is airing, giving us something to look forward to on what is usually our least favorite day of the week.
But we're not going to lie: this exclusive sneak we're sharing from tonight's episode of the MTV hit series is already giving us some serious anxiety and we're kind of nervous to see what else that evil mastermind Jeff Davis has in store for us.
Why? Because Scott (Tyler Posey) is being set on fire. You know, just your average high school problem. (These kids are never going to graduate, are they?)
In the episode, ominously titled "Perishable," Scott, Liam (Dylan Sprayberry) and the rest of our supernatural gang are targeted by an assassin at the lacrosse team's annual bonfire. And in the exclusive clip above, you can see the assassin is using some pretty shady tactics to get the job done. (Why are people in Beacon Hills still throwing parties?! Something bad always happens.)
Also, can we just point out that Mason (Khylin Rhambo) is totally becoming the show's Neville Longbottom and we kind of love it. Can we keep him?!
In case you missed the awesome news, Teen Wolf has been renewed for a super-sized 20-episode fifth season, which will be split into two parts, while Liam is sticking around as Sprayberry was upped to series regular.
Teen Wolf airs tonight at 10 p.m. on MTV.

text: What gear ratio would you choose for riding with a pack of roadies? I happened upon a big pack of roadies the other day on my fixie and I hung with them for awhile with 76 inches on rolling hills. Ultimately, however, it was very challenging keeping up. Natrually, group rides are faster than solo rides, and I was spining like crazy in the draft at about 25-27 mph and on the descents which got up to 34 mph at one point. I could have hung with these guys forever on my geared roadie, but I would definately need a higher gear with a fixie, maybe something in the low 80s. Any of you more roadie oriented fixie guys have experience riding fixed with fast packs of roadies?

kode, I like the new Game Emu Player plugin. It uses far less CPU when playing .nsf files than fastalon.
I have a question though, this plugin supports the new .nsfe format but it doesn't support the .rsn extention (which many SPC soundtracks are archived into lately), can this be added? This way a user could playback .rsn files in both winamp and foobar2000 without having to rename or extract the files from the archive. Sites like snesmusic.org distribute all of their soundtracks in .rsn. Its really not much more than a renamed .rar file, I'm sure getting foobar2000 to recognize them would be trivial.
The reason for the extention change is becuase there are some problems getting winamp to play archives without a lot of workarounds, so the author of SNESAmp came up with this simple solution.
Here's the link to SNESAmp if you want to try it out:

Oh, Christmas Tree
8 comments:
Hello Candice:ReplyDelete
How very different it all sounds to be and we can well understand a yearning, if only slight, for the Christmases of the past when you were in the United States. But, or so we believe, Christmas is in the heart, where most good things are to be found.
I like that star hanging on the doorknob. Couldn't find anything like it. Last year I had a live fragrant tree and some tiny terror(someone's child) knocked the tree down destroying all the ornaments bought on our travels. This year I have a potted AlbertaReplyDelete
Spruce just over 2 1/2 feet that I will post outside the door after the holidays. I decorated it and placed my three favorite teddy bears under it.there's no snow here yet.
Everyone misses you at the F.
Thank you Jane, home definitely is where the heart is, although our hearts are also in NY with our son and in Fl with our daughter and scattered around the globe with our friends ! :)ReplyDelete
cigale, I can't remember where I bought the decoration, I bought a bunch of them years ago in NY. I think it might have been one of those Marshalls stores. I have hearts with pearls and stars with sparkly stones, they are so pretty on a tree but work fine on the door knobs :)
Not only are trees pretty but they smell so good too ! I think teddybears under a tree sounds adorable !
I am sorry to say that I do not miss the F at all. But thank you anyway :)

We actually put up outside lites this year...and have wreaths coming out the wazzoo!ReplyDelete
Anony, one can never have too many wreaths :)ReplyDelete
Usually the best decorations are inside the houses, the normal christmas weather makes it hard to have tons of plastic ornaments outside I guess. My mom is a christmas freak, so in my house you can find a wreath, 3 pesebres (sorry, don't know the English word) and lights and Papa Noel all over the place.ReplyDelete
The only thing she couldn't do yet was decorating the 15 meter tall Araucaria in the back yard. I'm sure one day she will though.

We just bought the tramp and set it up. I'm please with the much higher quality than the typical tramp from Walmart but the instructions for setup were very generic. They really need to improve this. It took much longer than necessary because it was set up by trial and error. The instructions don't tell how to line up all the screw and bolt holes, you just have to guess and figure it out on your own. Very frustrating!!

Independence Baptist Church is a true New Testament church, under the sole headship of the Lord Jesus Christ and the sole authority of His word as preserved in the King James Bible. We endeavor to rightly divide and preach the whole counsel of God, whether popular or not, and we actively confront our culture with the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in these last days before our Lord's return. We believe that eternal life and salvation from the eternal penalty demanded for our sin is acquired only through faith in the blood of Christ, shed on the cross of Calvary in atonement for our sin. The Lord Jesus Christ was the perfect, virgin-born Son of God, God manifested in the flesh, who came to seek and to save that which was lost. After willingly offering Himself as a sacrifice for the sins of all who would receive him, and suffering a cruel death in our place, the Lord Jesus arose bodily from the dead three days later, victorious over death, hell and the grave! The Bible presents the only solution to the problems of this world. We believe our Church is the only King James Bible preaching, non-501(c)3, unincorporated true New Testament Church in Marion County, Florida. Visitors are welcome!

I don't like to think of myself as a spoilsport. I wouldn't dare question the veracity of Father Christmas, the Tooth Fairy or even the Easter Bunny. But I draw the line at Derren Brown.
Brown's Mind Control television series on Channel 4 has been one of the biggest hits of the year, and has just won the 2003 Montreux Silver Rose. His 28-date national tour - which ends this weekend - sold out weeks in advance, he is set to conquer America and later this year he will play Russian roulette on live television.
His mass appeal relies on his uncanny ability to predict and control human behaviour. He can read your mind, tell if you are lying, plant ideas in your head and mess with your subconscious.
The audience is told that this is all down to Brown's stunning understanding of psychology. However, I believe that his amazing demonstrations of mind reading and control are based on little more than clever magic tricks, and that he is giving science a bad name.
So why is this a big problem? Let's take an example. In one television show, Brown starts by exposing a simple card trick, then states that the rest of the show will be different: "That is the only trick you are going to see in the next hour," he says. "These are not magic tricks. This is mind control."
Throughout the rest of the show, he demonstrates his ability to divine people's innermost thoughts. It all seems like impressive psychology, but my suspicions were aroused when Brown apparently mentally manipulated somebody's choice of cards in a game of poker.
He meets three men and picks one, because "through watching the three of you, I think that your signals are the easiest to read".
Next, Brown shows him 10 cards, just enough for two poker hands. He shuffles the cards, then deals the top card to himself and the second card to his opponent. He then holds up the remaining cards, two at a time, asking his opponent to choose one, keeping the remaining card for himself.
After four such decisions, both Brown and his opponent reveal their hands. Time after time, Brown's hand beats his opponent.
It seems that Brown subtly controls his opponent's choice of cards. As with many of his demonstrations, he provides hints about his methods.
Brown says to the man: "Are you aware of your own signals when you play a game of poker? You're telling me with your nose which one you're going to go for. This time, I am going to rearrange the cards into an order that I can sort of influence you with."
I watched this demonstration repeatedly and became increasingly suspicious. It is nothing to do with psychology or body language. It is a magic trick. Brown selected his 10 cards very carefully - three aces, three kings, three sevens and a queen. This combination ensures that whoever has the queen will lose the game.
Imagine you have the queen - the best hand you can have is three of a kind (three aces, a king and the queen). Not bad, but you will still lose because Brown will have three of a kind and a pair (three sevens and two kings). At the start of the game, Brown merely has to deal the queen to his opponent, and then he will win, no matter what cards his opponent chooses.
In the same programme, a boxer and a woman (Brown's assistant) face each other. He places his hands under her arms, hoists her easily into the air and returns her to the ground. Next, Brown stares into the boxer's eyes and defies him to lift the woman, having apparently sapped his strength. The boxer finds it impossible to lift her off the ground.
Previously, Brown had said in narration: "Some athletes use the mind to try to improve stamina and strength. Can I use my mind to take it away?", clearly implying that this is a psychological effect - presumably, the power of suggestion.
Although the power of suggestion can affect people, I am convinced that it does not explain this dramatic demonstration. In fact, this stunt is most easily explained using GCSE physics.
If the woman stands four inches from the boxer, then the boxer can lift her. If she stands eight inches away, then the force required to lift her doubles. It is the physics of levers. Nobody notices that she moves a few inches back or forth, but the results are very dramatic. Once you know what to look for, it is obvious.
What is pernicious about these demonstrations is that the audience is left with the impression that they have watched genuine psychological effects.
In one interview, Brown said: "It's very easy to get into somebody's mind. I can do it in a handshake or a look. Everyone is very open to suggestion and can be manipulated to get the response you want. It's a mixture of logic, psychology and mind games." In fact, many of the demonstrations are based upon well-known magic tricks.
You might ask: "What's the harm? Leave the poor guy alone. It's only a bit of fun."
There are three problems. First, any television performer has an unspoken contract with the audience. In this case, Brown's contract is based on a claim to perform effects based only on psychology, but I believe that, often, this is simply not the case.
Repeatedly, his psychological explanations do not stand up to scrutiny. Viewers are left with a false understanding of psychology and an exaggerated idea of what is achievable through the power of the mind.
Brown says: "Giving explanations, which we do some of the time, is not about patronising people. It's about playing to people's intelligence." I believe that it is actually about misleading people. Having spoken to several very bright people, it is clear that they are completely taken in by the explanations. When the truth is revealed, they feel cheated.
I surveyed 16 people as they left one of Brown's recent stage shows. Eleven people believed that the entire show was based only on psychology, as opposed to magic tricks. In fact, it was nearly all magic. When asked how they would feel if a particular demonstration turned out to be a trick rather than deep psychology, they all said that they would be annoyed.
The second problem is that Brown's show taints the science of psychology. He makes statements about psychology and what can be achieved with the human mind, but they directly contradict scientific knowledge.
Professor Chris French, a psychologist at Goldsmiths College, says: "If Derren Brown really has successfully developed techniques to discern the contents of people's minds in the way that he claims, he has single-handedly achieved more than the collective attempts of psychologists over many decades.
"It may be of some relevance that Brown already had a successful career as a conjuror before he started claiming that he was producing his effects in a different way."
In one of his stunts, Brown appears to claim that he can spot if people are lying, using body cues or sometimes just the voice. He succeeds every time.
Portsmouth University's Professor Aldert Vrij, an expert in methods for identifying deception, says: "People think that you can use body and voice cues to spot lies but, in fact, it is much harder than it seems. There might be some excellent lie detectors but I don't know anybody who can consistently and reliably spot a lie. It is beyond current scientific knowledge. Even polygraph machines are not reliable."
The third and most serious problem is that this programme taints factual television. Channel 4 makes dozens of brilliant programmes each year, but this series misleads in that it appears to elevate magic to the level of science.
If the television audience reacts like the theatre audience, then the response is: "It's all science", or "Oh no, it's not magic. If I wanted to go to a magic show, then there are better magic shows than this".
Of course, magic does involve psychology and psychology is science. But Brown suggests that he is using a branch of psychology that is distinct from the psychology of, say, magical misdirection.
The ultimate insult appears at the end of each show, when viewers are encouraged to visit the Channel 4 science website, even though the series is not made by the channel's science department.
On the website, you will find Mind Control alongside programmes about the space station and the SARS virus. Putting Brown alongside genuine science serves to elevate his status and degrade the other programmes.
And the problem goes beyond Channel 4. Brown performs his mind reading on numerous chat shows, but again the audience often doesn't get the full story.
Brown recently appeared on ITV's This Morning. He was allowed to do a couple of mind-reading stunts and explained them by saying: "People have patterns of behaviour that you can identify, and once you've identified them you can manipulate and predict them."
In particular, Brown could tell that Philip Schofield was thinking about the death of his childhood pet hamster, because he could see "how you're responding and how you're agreeing and disagreeing and pupil dilation and so on".
Presumably, if Schofield had been thinking about the death of a pet goldfish then the pupil dilation would have been somehow different.
I am sure that Brown's This Morning performance was not psychology. If I am wrong, then I would like him to repeat this demonstration in a laboratory and publish the results. It is always nice to have a British Nobel laureate.
Brown annoys me because he so often presents false explanations for his magic tricks, thereby misleading the public and making a joke of serious psychology. And the television executives annoy me because they willingly provide a forum for his stunts, not seeming to care that factual television is a precious commodity.
Please do not misunderstand me. I love magic. I hate it only when magicians pretend to be psychologists. By the way, I apologise to magicians for revealing the poker trick, but in my opinion, giving away one secret seems a small price to pay to highlight the problem.
My fear is that this is the start of a nasty trend. Reality magic is becoming increasingly fashionable, but television executives need to be honest about what they are actually delivering.
Finally, I suppose I should put my money where my mouth is. Derren Brown performed two stunts on This Morning. If he can repeat them - read my childhood thoughts and replicate a drawing that I make - then I will happily donate £1,000 to charity.
Derren, if you are happy to accept the challenge, then just contact the Telegraph offices.

Art 4 All People: Oceanic Art Sanctuary~Malibu's Hidden Gem
My sister and I had an incredible experience at the sanctuary of expression and creativity! The vista from the deck, right outside of our room is truly Oceanic Bliss! We saw dolphins,seals, and a whale! The moon on the water was transcendent! It is really place of healing, balance, and clarity.
The two woman that run this place are amazing. Uberly friendly and professional! And their Art gallery featured some fab and powerful Art!
We also tried YogArt (a workshop with Yoga and Art that they offer)with them and Wow!truly a beautiful experience for both us! Also, loved the complementary coffee and homemade olive batard~ my morning was Heavenly! Staring off into the Ocean...

|Key Info
Richmond Bridge was, until a couple of years ago, a historic vicarage, a eulogy to faded grandeur, but no longer. Its new owners stripped it back, preserving the best of its original features, and then nursed it into the new millennium, with bespoke furniture, the highest spec gadgetry and some sumptuously gorgeous interiors. Now, it would be no overstatement to call Richmond Bridge a dream home. And with the Thames just a handful of minutes away, a park (including a listed English Heritage house) at the end of the garden and all the space you could possibly desire, this is one dream that could just become your reality.

Woman claims porn company trashed her Airbnb rental
November 30th, 2015
A woman has filed suit against a porn company for allegedly filming a hardcore gay porn at the historic mansion she rented on Airbnb.
The Smoking Gun acquired a lawsuit filed by Kristina Knapic, the owner of Acacia Mansion in Ojai. Knapic's lawsuit claims she thought she was renting the property to a "group of friends" on summer vacation. Instead, the suit alleges that gay porn actor/director Michael Lucas (real name Andrei Treivas) used the property as a set for a pornographic film.
The details of the suit are, for lack of a better term, pretty gross:
On August 16, 2015, after Defendants vacated the Property, Plaintiff entered the Acacia and immediately noticed that the Property was filthy (enema kits were found throughout the house — on the floor, in the beds, in nightstand drawer and in the trash; various sexual devices were found in the beds and in the trash; the hot tub water was brownish in color; and the linens were stained brown.)
While cleaning the property, Knapic says she found a business card for Lucas Entertainment, Treivas' production company. She googled him and found his Facebook page showing him filming "on location" at Acacia Mansion.
The suit seeks compensation for property damage, emotional damages and breach of contract, among other things. It lists "extensive damage," including semen and fecal matter on linens, carpets, walls and ceilings, that resulted in lost revenue while the property was decontaminated. The suit also seeks to stop Lucas Entertainment from distributing any photos or videos filmed on the property.
Treivas issued a statement to Queerty refuting all of Knapic's claims and alleges she is a "professional extortionist" who maintains a "fairly well-equipped sex dungeon in the basement, complete with a sex swing, whips, chains and miscellaneous bondage paraphernalia."
"Simply stated, there is no basis whatsoever to this claim, and we have photographic evidence to prove that," Treivas says in the statement. "Ms. Knapic was a resident in a guest house on the premises during our entire stay. Our windows faced her windows, we shared the yard and garden, we shared laundry facilities. If there were any activity which would have resulted in the damage she now claims, it would have been evident."

Twitter trends now local – microblogging goes high streetPosted By Grant Simmons On In SEO,Social Media | 3 Comments
Twitter began slowly rolling out geo-targeting functionality for its microblogging platform and earlier this month launched to the global "Twitterverse." From the Twitter Blog [1]: "As Twitter evolves, and more people share what's happening in their own world, we want to provide another way for people to discover topics that may be relevant to them.... Local Trends exposes what people are talking about on the state and city level." What people are talking about? That's not all! Geo-targeted connections offers insight into what people are buying, doing, considering, researching and *desiring* on a local level, truly taking opinion and purchasing decisions to the virtual and actual high street. Looking for customers? Tweet local! Looking for businesses? Tweet street! Excited to see how hyper-local tweets will kick local retailers and service providers into high gear. For local business, a Twitter strategy is no longer optional.

I strode down the street with confidence. Today was the day! A new shipment of bleeders was coming to the arena later tonight. I heard that Sleazy Jack lost a few of his men to the finale. The city roads have been transformed into people's homes and personal crappers. I avoided stepping in anything that looked suspicious because of my new Converse. They were rainbow striped and the onlypair left in that store. I lifted them on last weeks raid. It was chaos, people running through the mall frantically looking for anything they'd want. I ran straight to the best teen stores and got some new jeans and graphic tees.
I pushed open the arena's double-doors and walked into the seating. I took a seat in number 43 and cozied myself. Crazy M and his partner Elise were practicing for tonight's show. A bleeder was "chasing" after Elise and she dramatically fell to the ground. The bleeder was almost all bone. Leftover from last night's show. The bleeder was wearing no clothes, but there wasn't much to see. It growled and snapped with the mangled mass of flesh on its head. She covered her face letting out a fake whail just as Crazy M cracked open the bleeder's head with a broom. Yes, a broom. This thing was in the most pitiful condition I've ever seen. It collapsed to the ground and Elise got up and wrapped her arms around Crazy M and gave him a big ol' smack on the lips.
Elise was the spitting image of a sex goddess. She was tall and curvy, blonde hair and icy blue eyes. She was wearing a short black mini skirt and a red bikini top and 6 inch heels. Crazy M is Manny's stage name. He got it because once during a show, Manny took on a 6' 8"-former wrestling-monster and came out with nothing but a shit-load more pride and raging testocerone. He was one of the more attractive members to our little speck on the map. He was Elise's height, muscular, and tan. He always had the sides of his head shaved and a thick red mohawk in the top. Two dragons were tatooed on the shaved parts of his head. The rest of him was tatooed too. I started to slowly clap my hands and they both looked up at seat 43, where sat me.
"What are you here for, Sweetheart?", she smiled at me.
"Just enjoying the show. And I'm not talking about Snappy down there.", I gestured and the dead bleeder. She kissed Crazy M on the nose and shooed me away. I groaned and stomped out of the arena. I pulled my hair into a pony-tail and buried myself deeper into my jacket. I walked around, bought a little bit of bread, and went to my place. My roommate Eddy was sprawled on the dirt floor with an empty can of "cherry soda" in his hand. I kicked him in the side and he woke with a yelp.
"Shit Maggie, what do you want?", he mumbled more to himself.
"I want your drunk ass out of out floor you moron!", I yelled a little and bent down next to him. I put my hand to his cheek and gently kissed his nose. He wreaked of alchohol, but I didn't care. He smiled a little and I got him under his arms and managed to get him up onto his bed. Eddy lost his whole family to the bleeders. I didn't have anyone so I didn't know how it felt. He survived until he found our speck on the map and settled reality of his life sunk in and he gave his life away to the bottle. Drowing out his sorrows with alchohol.
I got him to sit up and I wiggled him out of his sweater and shirt. He was burning up, so I took the blankets off his bed and folded them up. I next took off his boots and washed his face up a bit with my sleeve. I was getting up when he grabbed my wrist. Eddy looked up at me, "I'll quit. For you.". I sat there half crouched and nodded. Thats what you said last year ass-hole. I got free and walked back out into the street through our make-shift door.
The town works like this:
There is a total of 100 old buildings that Sleazy Jack and his friends rid of bleeders. Sleazy Jack and pals secured the 100 buildings and created Bleeders. Thats the 100 buildings may I clarify. He and his men set out and have since then created this heap. The 100 buildings are now full with his workplaces, stores, living spaces, etc. The town also has small tin houses outside lining the streets where the venders set up and the poor live. Thats me. Everyone that lives in the Rear-tin houses- have to either have a family to fill one house, or a roommate. You are assigned a roommate and house by I.O.U. He runs the Rear and can do whatever he wants with whatever is inside. Like me for instance. He could call me into his office and him and his pals could have some fun. A lot of fun, sleaze. Once assigned a living space, inside or out, you are assigned a job that you must work until seen fit.
The jobs include:
Venders-sell food and small items
Business men-run Sleazy Jack's whore-houses and other businesses
Prostitutes-usually the prettiest women that come to Bleeders
Dares-they are the idiots that are basically bleeder bait in the arena and do all the dumb shit like being locked in a cage with the Finale
And then there are the people like me who really don't give a damn and steal for a living
Now for THE ARENA. The Arena is a crack house where the over-active people go to see gore.
This "gore" includes the following:
Bleeder .vs. Bleeder: this is where two extremely aggressive bleeders rip each other to shreds
Bleeder .vs. Bystander: a person from the crowd get to beat the hell out of a restrained, feeble, bleeder
Bleeder .vs. Spy: this is a rare and very popular case with the crowd. If a spy from Fort Oxx is found, they are put into the ring with the finale. They have no weapons and are chained to the floor with just enough chain to avoid the finale for about 10 minutes. Then its bye-bye.
The Finale: this is my favorite. This is where the meanest, largest, and most violent bleeder is brought out. The finale only happens once a week. And they re-use the same bleeder for maybe 5 weeks. It just becomes worse in that time. Bone Crusader is the biggest and meanest guy in camp. Him and a couple other guys alternate with the fighting of the finale. It gets gruesome.
Theres a rumor that Sleazy Jack keeps a whole warehouse full of bleeders for upcoming shows. I proved that rumor correct when me and my now ex Jason were snooping around the place.
I headed back to my tin abode and found Eddy dumping all of his alchohol into a bucket. He was finishing up the last one when he saw me. He picked up the bucket, handed it to me, and motioned to the street. I nodded and dumped it out. He sat back down on his bed and put his head in his hands. I cautiously walked over and sat down beside him. He started to shake and I rubbed his bare back.
"Rain was crying for me, Maggie.", he started to cry. "She yelled for me. Her big brother, I couldn't protect her!". I felt my eyes well up, for fear of my friend. He gripped at his scalp and his body was wrecked with sobs. He looked up at me. His brown eyes red and swollen. His lips chapped. I knew what those lips were like. Innocent. He didn't deserve what happened to him and his family. Eddy was a very tall, very muscular, and very smart guy. He was everything every guy wanted to be. The best football player, smartest kid, nicest personality. But I hardly know that Eddy anymore. I know the drunk-off-his-ass Eddy, that cries for his family. Cries for no one but his family, never himself. Hating himself and no one else.I wrapped my arms around him and ran my hands along his toned arms. He cried and I comforted him.
I woke up with Eddy's arm draped over my hip and spooning with him. His light brown hair was draped across his face as I craned my neck to get a look at the peaceful Eddy. Eddy is very handsome, he has very soft features that would pull any girl to him. With full eyelashes and soft pink lips. I turned myself around and stared at his closed eyes. They traveled down his face until they rested on his lips. I touched my index finger to those lips. Those soft lips that could kiss away any problem. I stood up and pulled on some sweat pants and a black, PISS OFF, hoodie. I slipped on a pair of Sperrys and walked out into the frozen night. I could hear the shouts from the arena, so I went to the arena, bought a ticket, and sat in my designated row.
The makeup of the arena is a small warehouse with a big caged in area in the middle. The caged area has loops coming out of the floor for people and bleeders to be chained. The area where people can sit goes outward instead of up like a football stadium. Then there is a big open space where people can get right up to the fence and scream in and shake the fenceing. I threw my ticket aside and shoved my way to the front. The act that we are on now is Bleeder .vs. Bystander. Some punk-rock chick was taking a baseball bat to some tiny bleeder. Its brains were all over the arena and on her face. Once she was done she was carted away by guys to get cleaned up to prevent infection.
The intercom came over and Crazy M strolled into the center of the arena followed by a topless Elise. She was pressed against Crazy M, holding his arm."Ladies and Gentlemen! I am pround to present to you... THE FINALE!", they hurried off the stage and a bleeder that was 6' 8" like I said, came out. It was in the nude, and had everything to show. The crowd went crazy! I started to yell, and people threw scraps of spoiled meat at the thing. It got down and gorged itself with the rotted stuff. "And now for the finale's opponent... A SPY! I think.", the crowd went wild at the mention of the spy and laughed at Crazy M's uncertainty and indifference. I felt like pissing my pants I was laughing so hard. "Oh, and did I mention hes good looking. And if he survives the show withouta bite, he'll be on sale after the show.", now there was screaming. People were up on the fence, shaking it as a VERY large guy was brought out with a black sack on his head. The finale was being restrained at the moment, growling and dripping bloody goo from it's mouth.
The bagged figure was about the same height as the finale, but not as muscular. Still large and as mean as hell looking though. "We're gonna mix things up tonight folks. There will be no chains involved tonight-", the crowd booed. "Calm down. Calm down. But heres the twist. The Fort Oxx spy shall have his hands tied around his back!", the crowd liked this. Free to move around, but making it difficult to fight back. He looked like he was gonna win still, so I began to pick-pocket around the whole crowd as the show started. When I got to about $100 I quit and went to look in. The cloaked guy was ravenous. His whole body was covered in a blackish fluid and he had the ropes off. From what I could see, he was stunningly attractive. Sharp angular features that threatened you just by being there. He had blue eyes that were almost white, and short raven black hair. Military-style cut. The finale was limping towards the guy, his leg bent funny, chunks of his rotting flesh ripped off. The crowd was now silent. Watching in awe at how scray this guy was. In one quick movement the guy had the finale on the ground with his boot through the things head. It twitched for a moment then ceased. The guy ripped his foot out of the things head and shook off the excess brain matter. Some guys came out with a hose and sprayed the finale's blood off from a distance. Shit, this guy is crazy. I gotta have him. The guys with the hoses left and the guy was left in the middle of the ring dripping water everywhere.
Elise came out and yelled, "The bidding will start now!". The room was dead silent. She waited a few minutes and announced, "Come on guys, hes not really a Fort Oxx spy. We just found him about.". Still nothing. I guess no one wanted their throats ripped out in their sleep. If I didn't bid now, he would be killed behind stage. I rushed to the fence and shoved in $50. Elise bounded over, her breasts bouncing with each step. She got my money, motioned her hand, and the guy was brought back stage. I shoved my way out of the crowd. Getting stares that said, Is she crazy?, Does she want to die?, This bitch is whack. I went around the building to the back where I found Elise and the guy. He looked so pissed, I knew I might get shredded. But it just made my heart poind faster. Her huge boobs stood out in the night. She shoved the guy at me, "Jesus Maggie! You really shouldn't take him. He'll kill you and Eddy!". I smiled and nodded. Then I took the guy's shirt and led him around.
He didn't say or try anything. I guess he knew he'd be screwed if he did. I went to a stall that sold drinks and I ordered two teas. My mug was handed to me and I wrpped my frozen fingers around the warm liquid. "Every time I get this I feel like I'm gonna be drinking piss.", I laughed and he just stared at the mug. I uncomfortably pushed it towards him. He turned his head away. Okay, silent type. I finished my tea and paid for the two. I walked home and stopped at my door. He looked at the door, then at me and I opened it up. Eddy was in his bed reading The Hobbit. I strode in and Eddy looked up. He smiled then noticed "Rocky".
Hope anyone that read this enjoyed it. Sorry for all the crudeness. I was trying to capture and image of a less civilized zombie-run future. Maggie is a personal favorite of mine. She is BA, and doesn't care about very many people. Well, hope you enjoyed, I'll be putting up a second chapter soon :) Bye!

So apparently SBCL CVS is back up. Please get it, and test that it's
not completely broken; also, please put into action all the
carefully-crafted plans to back up developer CVS, offer ${VC} mirrors,
and so on.
The observant will note that the CVS is not quite as bleeding edge as
planet.sbcl.org would like it to be. I've submitted a support request
but I suspect that the only response I will get is "yeah, sorry, the
hard disk failed before those commits were backed up", which is fair enough.
(There are reports that syncmail is not working yet; people might want
to track the other recent open issues for a little while before
committing too enthusiastically...)

Do you have proof of such claims (esp. the lag switching?)
Re: spawn trappingJASEFC1878 Nov 16, 2012 7:49 AM (in response to rlbl)
Happens loads on Hijacked on Domination. B & C were taken and then they trapped us at A - even had two guys behind us at the back of the board, two up on the bridge too... I've also been spawned 4 times right at the position I got killed..
Re: spawn trappingr_flinchy Nov 16, 2012 7:52 AM (in response to JASEFC1878)
Oh yes - Hijacked is a spawn trappers delight! Thank god there is a quit button right. What's the point of staying when it occurs. Might as well get the whole team to quit and forfiet the entire map to limit the number of points they can earn.
Re: spawn trappingJASEFC1878 Nov 16, 2012 7:53 AM (in response to r_flinchy)
Shame as it is a great map when you are winning! But don't get left with A against a good team!

That is exactly how not to play the game. Rage quitters are the worst players. Get good and get kills.
Re: spawn trappingRyanHague Nov 16, 2012 7:54 AM (in response to JASEFC1878)
Me too! Yesterday my team was gang raped by the oppossing team, one guy on the loadstar shooting at spawn on Nuketown killing everyone as they spawn, and the rest of his team lightning striking the spawn and camping at the spawn, it was a joke! We never had a chance to even spawn! In the end i had 10 kills and 65 deaths, the worse score i have ever ever had in any FPS game... Very unfair... Spawn protect please Treyarch?
Re: spawn trappingErr0r_6_ Jan 18, 2013 5:55 AM (in response to RyanHague)
why would you stay in? im with you that spawn killing is cheap, but if its that bad, you should just quit.. all your doing is giving them kills on your behalf killing your kd.. your gonna lose anyway.. i dont get it when i see a player that stays in a game and will go 2-55 against a team of players spawn killing
Re: spawn trappingReaper9286 Nov 16, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to rlbl)
yes i do have proff. i'll be trying to find someone and when i do i'll shoot at them and they will all the sudden teleport to a different spot and kill me. i know for a fact its not my connection cus i always have full bars cus my ps3 is right next to my wifi thing.

Re: spawn trappingel2kay Nov 16, 2012 8:03 AM (in response to Reaper9286)
For the 10millionth time now:
Spwntrapping is how games like DOM are played. The isnt called domination because you ARENT supposed to dominate the map. DOM is even split into two rounds now so if your team is terrible you still have a chance to not let it happen again.
Waaaaaaaaaay too many people want to defend their home flag which lets another team cut off the middle of the map and before you know it....trapped.
Spawn KILLING on the other hand is different. If youre somewhere that youre watching them actually spawn and youre killing them...thats how its NOT supposed to be. Demolition has been known to be particularly bad for this.
Your comment about all the lag switching draws me to the conclusion that you just dont know what you're posting about.
Re: spawn trappingReaper9286 Nov 16, 2012 10:06 AM (in response to el2kay)
i've been running around on say carrier find someone aim and shoot at them then all the sudden they teleport to a different spot and kill me. and what your saying about spawn killing is one thing that i was talking about without directly saying it.
Re: spawn trappingoDubZHD- Nov 16, 2012 10:08 AM (in response to Reaper9286)
It's a method of playing the game.. How people get clips and such for YouTube or w/e
Re: spawn trappingBasedLorD Nov 16, 2012 10:10 AM (in response to Reaper9286)
Spawn trapping is a way to play. It is like rushing, camping, defending, etc. The way to not get spawn trapped is to get scorestreaks early(UAV, guardian, CUAV) to prevent them from pinning you down. If they cannot find you, then they won't spawn trap. You need to play the objective and... NOT DIE
Re: spawn trappingdeluge220 Jan 17, 2013 8:02 PM (in response to BasedLorD)
No it is not the way you play! You get at least 5 guys on the same team to get tac inserts, go past the b flag and rush to the edge of the other teams spawn.... Then just lay waste to them the whole round is not playing! I have video of teams doing this and not just on Hijacked or domination. Certain maps not all will keep you spawning in the same little area as long as the other team stays just on the edge of the spawn. There is no skill in that! Its using a glitch with your buddies to make your KD ratio make look like your better then what you are. Now if its one guy or maybe even two that manage to spawn trap you the whole game that's skill! You get what I am saying. Spawn trapping is not the issue its a whole team is doing it when it gets just stupid. If you don't want to play the objectives, play team death or free for all. Is it the gamers fault no, Treyarch needs to fix the spawning to prevent that from happening on certain game types. Even though there is a code of conduct, some people screw over others to make themselves feel better. You are right about backing out, but this is become so common, eventually backing out of public matches will be the only way 1 or 2 people can play.
Re: spawn trappingdeluge220 Jan 17, 2013 8:24 PM (in response to Reaper9286)
Now my two cents about lag switchs... Yes they are real and yes people use them! Mainly in games like capture the flag, but gamers use them. Its cheating, not skill and there is not a thing we can do but try and get Treyarch to track these players and boot them! If you have a game you played and a gamer used a lag switch. Go to the theater and save it. Figure out a way to get it to Treyarch. I have not done this yet but I have only encountered laggers 2 times and usually they jump out at the end of a game. If you know how to report that with proof then share it.
Re: spawn trappingCrimsonTideMonk Jan 17, 2013 10:14 PM (in response to deluge220)
On Dom its only bad on a few maps. Hijacked and Nuketown for sure, but normally i dont get into those scenarios. What sucks is demolition..i played a team of tac inserting, lay down near spawn and shoot you as you spawn. THATS BS. In dom, holding two flags and killing them off at high traffic areas is fine, it sucks but its fine. The spawn killing is what sucks. I played demo on nuke, (see previous) so i put on a lmg target finder layed in the back and shot them through the garage walls and went 35-38, they were pissed as hell at me and called me a p----- and what not because they werent geting cheap free kills...i though it was hilarious and anger inducing at the same time, but hey i prevented them from getting their precious easy kills and streaks. Normally it is smart to leave but i knew i could ruin their day by doing it so i stayed. I raged for sure, but they did too which made me at least halfway pleased against their douchery. (even got a lightning strike and helicopter) They for sure should do something about that crap. Spawn you behind them or something. If they can fend you off that way AND still do well then so be it, they deserve it.
Re: spawn trappingdragon_zero101 Jan 17, 2013 11:25 PM (in response to Reaper9286)
I honestly think that when you spawn you should have a couple of seconds of invicibility so you can turn around and kill the people spawn camping. Or while you have invincibility, if they shoot you, they die and you automatically get the kill. I know it is kinda cheep, but it will stop it in it tracks.
Re: spawn trappingpandarain Jan 18, 2013 2:01 AM (in response to Reaper9286)
Dom is ment to be played that way,to trap the other team on their flag is the right way of playing it.
As for lag switchers, i know they are about,but few and far between, I had an encounter with a player using a lag switch on dom on raid about 20mins ago, we spawned at c flag and then i happend to notice as i was capturing C falg, that one of our players had teleported to B flag as we captured C. Now this sort of cheating in this day and age should be stopped...
So now we have prestige glitchers that have not been delt with,red bar lobbys,out of hand lag comp,No support from the games developer. I have played cod since cod 2, and maxed out to the highest prestige in every cod this however will be my last call of duty that i will buy, as it seem's cod is dying a slow and painfull death.
Re: spawn trappingTRU11 Jan 18, 2013 2:35 AM (in response to Reaper9286)
spawn trapping is taking advantage of bad programming and is a form of cheating.
i highly doubt the game was designed for this.
or the programmers had in mind to make spawns point so that spawn trapping possible.
its nothing more then partys/clans taking advantage of bad programming lol
seriously whats the difference with lag switching or the prestige glitch BS.
All could argue the game makes it possible
My solution if you are in a game like this , is to just back out.
The only reason people will call you a rage quittter is because there is 1 less person for them to padd the stats.
Re: spawn trappingrlbl Jan 18, 2013 5:20 AM (in response to TRU11)
This is not entirely accurate (in fact, that IS how the devs have suggested the game be played...has been on COD wikis for years, and was also feature on EliteTV)
In some games (like demolition) it can be quite ridiculous because depending the defending team has to spawn near the bomb site or the game would be a blowout. But because they HAVE to spawn in a certain place, the other team can infiltrate the spawn area and people cannot always safe spawn.
In Domination (in theory)*: You will spawn at your base flag unless someone is there, then the spawns can either flip or you can spawn in a neutral position (depending where the rest of your team is). If a team does not push to the middle of the map and the enemy captures B and does not push to far past, your team will always spawn at your base flag. This is how you can get trapped. it sucks, but it is your own teams fault for not pushing (often happens when a team is made up of random people who do not communicate).
What often happens in this case: 1 or 2 members of the uncoordinated team tries to push and they get slaughtered while the rest of the team stays safe at the base flag waiting for someone to try and cap it (which never happens against a team that is coordinated and knows what they are doing). This essentially is a trapped team. And that is how to guarantee a loss at domination
When I play DOM, if I see I am the only one trying to cap B while the rest of the team goes to find some place to build a camp fire somewhere... I quit because I know what is going to happen.
Bottom Line: If your team gets trapped, it is not your individual fault... but it is your team's fault. And that is how to lose at domination.
* On some maps (like hijacked) it is possible to get very close to the enemy spawn making it so an aggressive team can easily trap the enemy... almost to the point of spawn killing them.
Re: spawn trappingGaryfromscotland Jan 18, 2013 5:47 AM (in response to Reaper9286)
lag switching?
Care to explain what you mean and your proof? or have you just been watching too many YouTube videos and listening to kids throwing accusations around?
Re: spawn trappingphxs72 Jan 18, 2013 6:11 AM (in response to Garyfromscotland)
I saw something just the other night that made me wonder if it was a lag switch or just some crazy lag moment. A guy on Slums was running from the middle opening to the B flag from the A side and turned to go into the little building that looks at the B flag. He was moving rediculously fast and blinking in and out the whole way. If I hadn't been staring at that area, I would have missed him completely. I still don't know which it was but he messed up and stopped. So I shot him in the back and felt pretty good about it

Home ⋅ Graduation Party Invitations & Graduation Cards ⋅ Studio Basics ⋅ $ ⋅ 0 Photos
"These cards turned out beautifully! We wanted to personalize them to use for our son's high school graduation party and it was so easy. We uploaded our favorite picture, tweeked the text a little, and we were done. I asked to change the font to match the font on our return address envelopes, and they did it no questions--fast and easy. I loved all the editing options and found them very easy to use. There are plenty of opportunities to review the final version before you order and to get proofs before they go to print. Customer service was prompt and so friendly, and shipping was really fast. Our invitations arrived in perfect order, packed with care. I'll definitely order again. We were thrilled with the beautiful quality and excellent service provided by Tiny Prints."
"Easy to build a nice invitation with several options in fonts to chose from. Quick turn around time and the invites look great as far as color and quality. Looks exactly like my design. No disappointments. The price was better than other sites and I recieved my invites when the site said I would."
"The invitations arrived well before the anticipated delivery date!! They looked fantastic, I would recommend these to anyone!!"
"I was looking for an invitation that was fitting for my sons Trunk party (going off to college). Since, I couldn't find anything like that I decided to go with his school colors and this was perfect."
"I receive my order on time and I am pleased with the results as well. The card invite is perfect and color combination is also nice and give a sense of casual-formal invite. I got a lot of nice complements and asks where and who made this card. I definitely recommend this Dapper Diploma Postcards!!"

And they'll have a number of different formats from which to choose.
First, HD Digital (both 2D and 3D versions) will be available for download on multiple platforms starting September 3. Fans who want a physical version have to wait until September 24, when Marvel will unleash several different versions of the film, including a 3D Super Set, a Blu-ray Combo Pack, a plain old DVD and an On Demand version.
The DVD and Blu-ray copies of the Marvel threquel both include digital dopies and are chock full of bonus features, including an exclusive Behind-The-Scenes Look at Marvel's upcoming Phase 2 film "Thor: The Dark World."
The discs also include the featurettes "Deconstructing The Scene: Attack On Air Force One" and "Marvel's Iron Man 3 Unmasked," featuring cast and crew interviews.
Also included will be a gag Reel, deleted & extended scenes, and an audio commentary with screenwriters Drew Pearce and Shane Black, who also directed.
