I shot one down the other day with an old dried out rubber-band.
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementSpoonsV Jan 17, 2013 5:45 AM (in response to Evangelice)
The thing is, you can fly away with a dragonfire and attack from unexpected angles/places.
An AGR is slow and easy to avoid. And it only takes one EMP in my experience.
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementHarv72 Jan 17, 2013 6:23 AM (in response to SpoonsV)
One EMP will "stun" an AGR but not destroy it. I'm not sure if this varies in HC vs. Core mode, but I can confirm that a single EMP does not kill it in Core from prior experience.
@ the OP, I agree. What you can do to increase the lifespan of your Dragonfires is fly them low; this seems to go against instinct, as common sense tells you that a higher-flying target is more difficult to hit, but at low altitude you'll find you can kill enemies much faster with the Dragonfire and even "duck" behind obstacles or around corners to escape if you bite off more than you can chew. I just finished the calling card challenge for kills with the MQ-27 and was surprised at how much better I did by flying at just above head height for the entire time (I even had a few last the full time until auto-destruct).
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementthebigb82 Jan 17, 2013 6:25 AM (in response to Harv72)
you are correct, it takes 2 to destory the AGR
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementAceatron11 Jan 17, 2013 6:37 AM (in response to Evangelice)
I don't use the Dragonfire, purely because it is so easy to take out. I like using EMP grenades, and its nice easy point just lobbing one into the sky when the enemy bring one im. For me personally i'd hate it to be upgraded, but it definately needs to be.
AGR's atre much more difficult to take out, yes they can be avoided, but if your using them properly you can literally annihilate the opposition. I got over 15 kills with one the other day just through using it sensibly on HQ.
On a side note about the host migration, I've also had it where my stealthhelicopters disappear when it migrates host!!! That is bloody annoying & definately needs patching
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementTRU11 Jan 17, 2013 7:30 AM (in response to Aceatron11)
its because all score streaks have kind of a time limit after they selfdestruct and dissapear.
the game keeps running even though there is a host migration meaning the timer could be up if the game restarts.
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementAndrew_25 Jan 17, 2013 10:14 AM (in response to Evangelice)
In my opinion, the Dragonfire is a HC scorestreak. Like the M27 is a HC assault rifle. I can use the Dragonfire very successfully in HC as it is harder to find with no HUD and only 1 to 2 shots to kill an enemy. My strategy is actually to stay high above rooftops. Move above higher obstacles and use them as cover. Pop up and shoot someone, and drop back down and move over and repeat. Sometimes I just have a bad one, and get 0-2 kills. If you hear beeping noises, as in they are aiming down it with a launcher, drop down ASAP to the roof top or ground level immediately. I have used 19 Dragonfires, and have 116 kills with it. Not too bad.
In core, you're probably right on the AGR. That may be the better option as it is only a few points more. That and it can do work while you are not vulnerable. The dragonfire is, imo, a more trollish and fun option.
*As for the bug, I have never seen that and don't know what to add there.
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementYO_MOM_IS_NEXT Jan 17, 2013 10:59 AM (in response to Evangelice)
i routinely shoot down Dragonfires with my pistol. i think it's a bit easy to destroy.. then again, it is a small, remote-controlled model plane, basically. maybe it should be easier to achieve.
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementGerbera Jan 17, 2013 11:45 AM (in response to Evangelice)
Some things one can do...
1.) Move around a lot while firing, like normal. A lot of Dragonfire uses I've seen, the user barely seems to move it while firing at people, usually just strafing it to the sides. They're more or less idle in the air, thinking they'd be too small to hit accurately. I constantly move it up and down, side to side, and diagonally at random moments/amounts while firing.
2.) Take advantage of its smaller size and flight ability. There are quite a few places on some maps where you can take it where you can't go as a person that it can use to take enemies by surprise and/or use as cover.
3.) Rather than aggressively try to attack enemies, use it as a support gun for teammates. Like follow a teammate(s) around and if they come across multiple enemies, you can engage one while they hit the other.
4.) Simply be a distraction or marking tool. Draw enemy fire and allow your teammates to hit them by surprise or use your machine gun to "mark" where enemies might be camping or which direction they're approaching from and such. The sound alone will, hopefully, alert teammates.
5.) Use a Counter-UAV right before using the Dragonfire. When it comes to it and the A.G.R., a lot of people will, whether they admit it or not, look to the minimap to try to pinpoint their locations to either attack it or avoid it. By taking out their minimap for that duration, they'll have no choice but to use their eyes to try to locate it, coupled with some of the above tactics, will allow you to approach them from unexpected directions and/or allow teammates to also move in and take them out easier while they're scanning around for it, most likely up higher in the air (when it could really be down low).
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementEvangelice Jan 28, 2013 11:35 PM (in response to Gerbera)
I appreciate all the input guys. Firstly I'd like to mention that all the above said tactics I have been using... and yes there are games where people just dont take the time to care about the dragonfire and get steamrolled by it... but those are just noobs. The dragonfire itself isnt very fast its slower than a rc-xd without boost. the rc moves at about 110% base speed and jumps up to about i wanna say at the very least 120% whereas the dragonfire is about 105% and im not asking for it to be as durable as the agr. but 3-4 shots with a pistol is crazy you can go about 30 meters in the sky before losing signal which is the range of a longshot- the fact a pistol whose range drop off is tremendous only doing 18 dmg at the longest distances can kill a dragon fire is a little absurd. like i mentioned 200-250 so that players are more inclined to throw emps or shoot it down with a launcher. either that or make it cost less to access.675-850. the agr may be slow but its very versatile and resilient being able to shoot three rockets with inf reloads and unlimited chain gun fire with an amazing firing rate.
Re: MQ-27 Dragonfire Bug/ improvementAp0ca1yp3e Jan 28, 2013 11:39 PM (in response to Evangelice)
In the next patch the dragonfire gets a boost to its health and accuracy. Currently only installed on xbox but should come to PS3 before the DLC does.

Modise to pronounce on Bodibe leadershipComment on this story
Johannesburg - North West premier Thandi Modise will pronounce on a Bodibe traditional leadership claim soon, the provincial government said on Monday.
Spokesman Lesiba Moses Kgwele said a decision by the Commission on Traditional Leadership Disputes and Claims was expected within two weeks.
The claim was lodged by Keorapetse Prince Motlhako, who joined the Democratic Alliance at the weekend.
Kgwele said: "Motlhako lodged a claim to be recognised as a senior traditional leader of the Barolong Boo Modiboa on June 3, 2013."
He said the Modiboa clan in Bodibe near Mahikeng was currently not recognised as a traditional community.
The village was under the authority of Kgosi Rapulana Victor Matlaba of the Barolong Boo Tau Rapulana.
The commission was established to restore the dignity and integrity of traditional communities and the institution of traditional leadership across the country.
Kgwele said the North West committee on such disputes had since its inception finalised investigations into over 110 traditional leadership disputes and claims.
DA leader Helen Zille welcomed Matlhoko to the party on Sunday.
The Sowetan reported that he told Zille that his clan, that was trying to settle a number of land and mineral rights claims, had been left out in the cold by the ANC.
Last year, Motlhako and five headmen asked DA MP Hendrik Schmidt to help them settle the claims.
The progress made through Schmidt's help prompted him to join the DA.

It was never made but I wanted one. I had the X700 and hoped that Minolta would introduce a X900 pro camera but they went the Maxxum route. Just wondered if others had a dream camera that was never made.
An XD-11 with TTL-OTF flash metering. Perfection in a MF camera.
Found this pic of what appears to be an "X-900m"
Perhaps a prototype?
Anyway, are you aware of the Minolta X-600? It's sort of halfway camera between the X-series models
and the Maxxum 7000. It has an MD mount but also an AF sensor with manual focus confirmation. It was
made just before the Maxxum 7000 for the Japan market.
Good morning;
Thank you both for providing the photographs of those cameras. There are several Minolta cameras that we may hear about, but not often do we see something that tends to confirm that they actually existed, or at least a prototype did. And, there are a couple of accessories I know about, but have never seen. Finding them for purchase is a challenge.
I also have a couple of Minolta models that were available only in the Japanese domestic market. It does seem that Minolta-USA did exercise some restraint in selecting what they brought to the North American continent for our acquisition and use.
I'd have appreciated an X700 whose electronics didn't die young. I just pitched one newer than several Nikon FE, FG, and F3 bodies that are still going strong. I bought this last one cheap but won't be bothering with another.
I had not herd of the X600 or X900m but that is interesting. The X900m looks like a X700 with a permanent motor drive 1 attached. I still have 2 X700 and Motor Drive 1 for each. Never had any problems with them but I bought them new and took good care of them. I also wanted a XK but they were too expensive back then. In later years I did get a Maxxum 9000 and still have it. Most of my new cameras are Nikon but still enjoy the old Minoltas. I was working on the Outer Banks today and walked out on the beach and shot a few frames with my X700/Motor Drive 1 and I like that combination.
I have 2 X-700's that locked up but were repaired by me for less than $0.79 each. A few tools and a little solder did the trick. I could have just tossed them as junk but why waste good cameras?

After eating a sub-par muffin at a diner I really like recently, I realized that it has been far too long since I made a batch of muffins at home.

Tweet of the Day: Orlando Magic In Need of a Coach
Just 52 games into the NBA season — not yet at the All-Star break, and the Orlando Magic have unloaded a sizable amount of talent. That's coaching talent.

Assistant coach James Borrego will take over as interim head coach. [Read more…]
Five Things To Watch: Orlando Magic
Despite the Orlando Magic becoming a better and deeper squad this offseason, a playoff push in the 2014-15 campaign still seems a step too far, even in the weaker Eastern Conference. GM Rob Hennigan has done a good job of moving on from Dwight Howard, creating a manageable payroll and rebuilding the Magic with young, exciting and athletic players. Orlando has 10 players on their rookie contracts, several of whom have already established themselves as legitimate NBA players. For now, those players
Chris Bernucca's Postseason Award Choices
Transparency is a two-way street. For years, NBA media members – echoing the sentiments of its passionate fan base – wanted more transparency from Commissioner David Stern and his executive staff. Whether it was a lottery drawing, a suspension in the playoffs or a referee scandal, folks felt like they were entitled to an explanation. And they were. Stern grudgingly came around. He arranged for the media to meet with referees prior to the season about rules changes. He allowed the media

Phil Jackson won't be awful as president of the New York Knicks. He certainly won't be as bad as Isiah Thomas was in running the club.

But Phil Jackson isn't Isiah Thomas, or David Kahn, or Bryan Colangelo. He's Phil Jackson, with a reputation of all things basketball that he touches turning to gold. And that's exactly what
Tweet of the Day: Free Agent Glen Davis Thanks Magic And Fans
Friday afternoon, a day removed from the NBA trade deadline, the Orlando Magic and general manager Rob Hennigan decided the team's future would be best without forward Glen Davis. The Magic and Davis agreed to a buyout that will enable the 28-year-old big man, affectionately known as "Big Baby," to pursue another team via free agency once he clears waivers. After the buyout had been formalized, Davis took to Twitter to thank the Magic and its fans for his time in Orlando.

The Orlando Magic on Friday waived Hedo Turkoglu, who likely will become a free agent. Turkoglu was in the final year of a contract paying him $12 million this season.

Runoff, pollution contribute to 'black' lake
The "black lake" it has long been.
But the reason the Odawa Indians called it Lake Macatawa is different from the reason the lake at the core of the Holland area appears murky today, more than a century later.
When the Odawa Indians called the lake "Macatawa," or black, they referred to the decaying leaves on the bottom of the lake, darkening its waters.
Today, the name still applies, but because sediment and nutrients wash into the lake any time it rains, leaving the water dark and muddy, and encouraging algae to grow.
Earlier this spring, despite chilly weather and a splattering of rain, some hardy folks showed up to the Macatawa Water Festival at Kollen Park to learn about the lake's animals, its water and the watershed.
There, Paula Capizzi of Annis Water Resources, one of the presenters on hand, showed children a "Secchi disk" — contrasting panels of black and white that researchers routinely lower into the water to measure quality.
At some Lake Michigan test sites, she said, you can lower the disk for a meter or more before the contrast lines on the disk are no longer visible. But when conducting the same test in Lake Macatawa, the disk disappears when lowered into the water a foot or two in some cases.
Longstanding problem
In the 1990s, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality formally found that levels of nutrients in the lake such as phosphorus were too high, but locals testing the lake water have known since the 1970s, said Mary Fales, watershed coordinator of the Macatawa Area Coordinating Council.
The problem, she said, is what to do about it. The DEQ, in 2009, found that phosphorous still was too high. One recent study found that about 130,000 pounds of phosphorus comes from "over land" rain water flows each year.
Ottawa County already bans phosphorous from lawn fertilizer. A new state law that takes effect in January will restrict the amount of phosphorous in commercial fertilizer.
When it rains, the area's landscaping and drainage systems allow the rain to enter the river too quickly, causing high water velocities that pull sediment and nutrients with it. Because Lake Macatawa really is a slow-flowing river, when it is given a long enough dry spell, it starts to clear up.
But the cause for the murkiness is obvious to those living on the lake.
"The water quality varies," said Judy Beltman, who lives on the lake's northern shore. "When there's a big rain, it's very muddy. When it doesn't rain, it's very clear."
And that's the problem: The nutrients are coming from streams and storm drains everywhere, every time it rains. Lake Macatawa's watershed covers a vast area stretching north beyond Port Sheldon Street in Ottawa County to south of 134th Avenue in Allegan County.
Page 2 of 2 - "It's not like there's someone that you can work on and get them to change what they're doing," Beltman said. "It's a whole water lifestyle."
Grassroots efforts
For now, Fales and others are trying to focus on grassroots efforts to cut down on watershed erosion. Macatawa won't be cleaned in a day, but several smaller efforts promise to make a difference down the road.
The MACC hands out free spray-paint stencils for marking storm drains, warning people not to dump materials in them.
Holland Township's David Smith has started a small business turning discarded commercial containers into rain barrels. A rain barrel, he explains, stops rain water from rushing out of a home's downspout, pulling sediment and nutrients with it into the storm drains — and eventually, into Lake Macatawa.
"Not only will it help with the runoff, you could use it to water your garden," he said.

Thaveesinh Hotel
Not bad, but overpriced
What we say:
There's nothing wrong with the rooms at the concrete multistorey monolith that is Thaveesinh. It's just that they're a bit bland for the price and the bed coverings are of the same quality as the cheapie places in town – gaudy and dated. Rooms have standard Lao beds with poor quality sheets, old TVs, hot water bathrooms that could do with more light and some have old air-con units. Free WiFi is also available, but as with most places in town, it's patchy in the rooms. If the rooms were 20,000 kip cheaper, we'd recommend this alongside the likes of Friendship, but at these rates it's slightly overpriced. Kaupjai Guesthouse is the same price and far better. Thaveesinh is located directly opposite the Gibbon Experience office.

I would love to see Demo back in the playlists with an upcoming update.. or some time of bomb game with respawns perhaps?? This was easily my favorite game mode from BO2, and Sabotage my favorite from MW3. I know you're probably all like, wtf did he say.. Sabotage?! But once the other modes starting feeling redundant around August/September, a tight Sabotage match was a breath of fresh air.. and really got my heart pounding during a tight match! I just wish there was at least something comparable, other than SnR (which is also very weak compared to regular old SnD).
I understand Sabotage was dropped because at any given time, on average, I only saw 1,000 players max in the whole world playing it.. but Demo was/is still popular. I'll even share some sympathy for dedicated CTF players. It's a bummer that it was bumped for "community" type games(from MW3), which I feel belong in their own playlist right below clan vs. clan.. i.e.- Infected, Hunted, even Blitz and Cranked to a certain extent. I think they are too arcade-like(and some too low-scoring) to be in a normal playlist IMO.
I guess one positive is that it gives the past 2 titles more longevity..like if I wanted to go back and play my favorite game modes.. but I'd rather not. I'm the guy who puts the previous COD games back in their cases for good.
It could be they got rid of it to stop all the hackers. Just like in past games when they got rid of two maps to stop the boosters in one game mode.
You can still make that game mode in the squads portion and challenge people when your offline or online.
Ive been wishing for the same thing since ghosts launched. Games like sabotage, headquarters, and demo made me feel like I was in the middle of a war. Cranked makes me feel like I'm playing halo... and the thing that drew me to cod initially back in cod 4 was its realism. I don't get that sense at all from cod anymore which is VERY depressing...
I miss what old Team Tactical was.
No kill streaks
All gun play
Demo/Sab made for slower intense rounds
CTF for a quick burst of game play
SnD for hype moments.
id love to have demo back or even sabo at a push we need a decent bomb game mode
I loved me some Sabotage in COD4... would like to see it back in Ghosts... but Sabotage.... its so sad

Utility-sector policies can enable or hinder solar markets. Clear policy and regulation translation and implementation protect market stakeholders and reduces the "back and forth" during project development and at other times. Sandia is active in disseminating technical information to inform those who make policy and design regulations. One approach is through training. Educational seminars raise the level of knowledge among key organizations and decision makers involved in formulating solar-related policies, so that they have the necessary information to make sound decisions impacting the solar market place. For example, in late 2011, Sandia organized an intensive two-day Hawaii Public Utility Commission (PUC) seminar for the Hawaii PUC regulatory staff, the Consumer Advocate Staff and Hawaiian utilities.
Typically, information consists of
- Technical electric grid basics and renewable energy integration: Distribution and transmission
- Performance and reliability of PV systems in the grid
- Communication of research results on updated procedures for interconnection of PV on distribution feeders, and also cover transmission interconnection procedures
The recently published "Updating Interconnection Screens for PV System Integration" white paper is designed to be useful in the regulatory arena.
Work in this area is supported by the DOE, which maintains a Solar Energy Technologies Program: High Penetration Solar Portal at https://solarhighpen.energy.gov/.
Technical assistance is also an important role of the Sandia in supporting the market. Through design of studies and by making R&D results known to targeted audiences, we seek to support a sound basis derived from technology assessments.
Some of our work in this area includes:
- Kauai Island Utility Co-op (KIUC) PV Integration Study
- Multi-PV Inverter Utility Interconnection Evaluations
- Initial Operating Experience of the 1.2-MW La Ola Photovoltaic System
- Ota City: Characterizing Output Variability from 553 Homes with Residential PV Systems on a Distribution Feeder
- Simulation of One-Minute Power Output from Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Generation Systems
- PV System Modeling for Grid Planning Studies
- Multi-PV Inverter Utility Interconnection Evaluations
- Transmission and Distribution Deferment using PV and Energy Storage
- Grid-Tied PV System Energy Smoothing

"A paradise by the lake"
We travelled with our 2 children and found a really beautiful "cosy" house with gorgeous views. Very nice and peaceful garden. We had there several al fresco meals cooked in the BBQ. All breakfasts were taken in the balcony facing the lake's water.The house was very clean. Our children loved the canoeing. Congratulations and thanks to the nice couple. They were very friendly and very helpful. We will be back again.

In terms of retail sales, they are going to provide a proper classification from April onwards which will clear the air.
And in terms of use of products, I don't think anyone who wants to loose weight will continue to drink protein shake for life. Health freaks can do it but others are likely to return to their normal diet once they have achieved there weightloss goals.
Regarding Pyramid scheme, try to understand Koscot test. It will help you and read Vander Nat's paper a couple of times. It's not difficult but takes time to absorb and understand. Unfortunately Ackman's analyst couldn't do it in 18 months :)Feb 24, 2013. 08:33 PM | 5 Likes |Link to Comment
P in Peter Vander Nat's paper is the price at which product is actually sold. It is same as suggested retail price SRP of 0.65x(Label Price) which Ackman suggested in his presentation.
Please read second part of Vander Nat's paper and it won't take much time to figure it out.
Anyways P gets cancelled out in the equation while determining ARC. ARC is the fund left with the organization from retail sales which is available for paying distributor rewards. As long as it covers more than half of distributor rewards, the organization is said to be primarily based on retail.
You are a smart guy, read the paper. Try to understand the concept. It won't take long.Feb 24, 2013. 08:29 PM | 9 Likes |Link to Comment
Willy, its silly to talk about negative mark ups. People are not that crazy.

Ackman himself has assumed 70% sales is outside the company's distributors network
Liberman research has indicated 92% sales outside the network.
The truth is somewhere in between.
Frankly, after the company classify "discount customers" properly Ibeleive it will reach a point where 90% plus sales will be outside the network.Feb 24, 2013. 06:08 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment
Well that sums it all! Doesn't it William.
Look, I understand you don't like the fact that Herbalife hired Kellog professor Anne Coughlan (http://bit.ly/YuWRnt) and not you to defend it. You are renting your frustration by spreading misinformation, calling others work nonsense and dismissing Anne as paid consultant. Its amazing how well you lied calling US retail sales to be 31% despite of Bloomberg anchor asking you twice about it. A simple glace at your twitter page will indicate your actual motto is in line with that nuts Herb Greenberg who thinks he is a financial analyst.
You are calling even the 31% sales data which company shared with the public wrong/unverified. You want audited data for that. Which auditor can verify data on millions of end user customers? Does FTC has resources for that? No matter how much detail company will share, you will always dismiss it as unverified.
No one is questioning requirement of more transparency. It always help analysts not only in MLM industry but in other sectors as well. Who wouldn't want more clarity on the toxic assets on a Bank's balance sheet. No harm in that.
But here a short seller is misrepresenting facts and claiming something wrong to meet his ends. You are not commenting on it because you are biased.Feb 24, 2013. 04:08 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment

Fanime was such an awesome convention this year (as per usual, I know). Here are some of the highlights!
1. Angel Tadashi Reactions
I brought Tadashi with me, and I wore wings with him on a whim. Best. Decision. Ever!!!
I found this Baymax walking across the con entrance and asked for a photo. This prompted a mass of photographers to swarm us. Suddenly, one of the photographers stopped, stared at me, and said, "Wait…. you have wings…." Simultaneously the rest of the photographers stopped and sighed in horror in sync. The first photographer then told me that I was "terrible", awesome, but terrible.
This GoGo cosplayer was amazing! Her cosplay was awesome and well designed (the roller blades were a great touch), and she was really in character! The first thing she noticed was my Baymax, and then she saw that Tadashi was accompanying Baymax. Well… I think the pictures speak for themselves.
2. Fairy Tail Gatherings
Please note the plural in this bullet: gatherings. It's been tradition the past couple of years to host an unofficial Fairy Tail gathering after the official one, but that wasn't enough for people this year: we held a third one, too!!! That… was awesome!!!
I went as Avatar Gray (AKA walking spoiler) to the first two gatherings and as Dead Gray (AKA other walking spoiler) to the last one. It was so much fun! Thanks to everyone who showed up!!!!
3. Fans
Fans? I have fans? People actually follow my stuff??!!!
Apparently people do! I had a group of girls track me down after I posted my Fanime line up, take my picture and fan girl over my cosplays and tutorials!
Then, when I was walking to my gate in the airport, a group walked past me, and then turned around and flagged me down after recognizing me as Xac from Wil o' th' Wisp (it helped that I was in full Tadashi cosplay still). I don't know what to say! I have so much fun cosplaying and making tutorials, I'm so happy that y'all enjoy it!!!!
4. Tales of….
I attended the Tales of gathering this year. I had taken a year off after a disappointing gathering, but this year was AMAZING!!!! I had so much fun geeking out with my fellow Tales fans! I was supposed to bring Will from Legendia, but I wasn't happy with his tunic, and brought Aquatic Ape Guy instead. I'm really glad that I did! I was the only Guy to show up, and there was no Zelos. I wish that we had a Jade to complete our party, but that's okay. It was epic all the same!
Sunday night I was waiting to board my plane, and the group behind me started talking about Tales of. It turned out that they were some of the cosplayers from the gathering! Small world, huh!
5. Rave Master Shenanigans
At the top of the night we were in full Rave Master attire, myself as Gale with two Haru's, when we came across three Rave fans. They honestly made my night! Not only did they recognize who we were (even me!), but we got to fan out with them! They were super awesome, and I can't wait to run into them again in the con circle!
On that note, the Rave Master shoot was so much fun! I had a blast running around as Gale with two Haru's!!! It's such an under appreciated series, and I'm stoked at how our Rave cosplay group is growing!!!
As per usual, the people at the con made it for me! I got to meet up with my fantastic cosplay buddies and met a whole slew of new ones! Cosplay is such an awesome hobby. It really brings people together. I mean, you can't really take yourself too seriously when your running around in green-and-yellow spandex or ridiculously colored wigs. It's an opportunity to really cut loose, relax, and have fun. Even when bad and stressful things happen, cosplay buddies have a special way of making it better.
I really miss them all already and can't wait to have fun times with y'all again!!!
Keep having fun! Don't sweat the small stuff!!!

For Matt Barkley, the lure of NFL riches was simply outweighed by the chance to return to USC to win a BCS title after enduring two seasons low-lighted by an NCAA's post-season bowl ban. And despite what the NFL economics may suggest, Barkley deemed it as having "unfinished business."
"When you look at the team that we have coming back," he said, "and see how the story lines up--from us going through the darkest points of USC's history and now how we're on the rise, I feel like this lined up perfectly and feel like it is something I couldn't have turned down."
Barkley made his announcement just about 10 feet from the spot where less than two years ago, he calmly fielded questions about USC's future a few minutes after hefty NCAA sanctions rocked the Trojans program. On that June, 2010 afternoon, Barkley spoke about how fortunate he still felt to get to play at USC and what a "privilege" it is.
No doubt, USC coach Lane Kiffin must feel pretty fortunate too these days: "Many times guys who are thinking about leaving for the NFL asks themselves, 'Am I really ready?' But this wasn't about that," Kiffin said. "Matt is ready to leave for the NFL. He is ready to play right now, but he wants to come back, and it's not just to blow away the records, it's for something more than all that.
"No one is going to have the story he can have. Think about it: He grows up a USC fan. Comes here after they go to seven straight BCS bowls. He probably think he's gonna go to three more and then he's leaving for the NFL. Instead, the coach leaves. The AD leaves. The school president leaves. The sanctions come. . . . This could be really remarkable.
"He can really have a legacy and go down as the greatest Trojan of them all."
With Barkley, the leader of this year's 10-2 Trojan team that finished the 2011 regular season with a flourish that included a win at No. 4 Oregon, USC figures to be a pre-season top-five team, and perhaps No. 1 overall. Barkley will have quite a talented cast around him, including the country's best receiving duo in Robert Woods and Marqise Lee; along with a 1000-yard back in Curtis McNeal. USC's left tackle Matt Kalil, a likely top 10 draft pick, did opt to jump into the NFL draft but the rest of the offensive line returns. In addition USC also gets back standout safety T.J. McDonald, who announced he was coming back for his senior season earlier this week; the Trojans' top two tacklers were both freshmen linebackers (Hayes Pullard and Dion Bailey) and the Pac-12's best CB, Nickell Robey was just a sophomore. The team also redshirted four blue-chip defensive linemen and just signed two junior college all-Americans on defense. On top of that, the Trojans schedule sets up quite well with Oregon and Notre Dame having to visit the Coliseum in 2012. But it's the return of Barkley that transforms the group from a top-25 team to a serious national title contender.
In 2011, Barkley blossomed, especially in the last two months of the season, throwing 29 TDs and just four INTs as USC went 7-1 over its final eight games as the team averaged 40 points per game.
The notion that USC could be a legit national title contender less than two years after the NCAA sanctions were announced may seem vexing to many. The Trojans did lose a handful of players who were allowed to transfer per NCAA rules and Seantrel Henderson, the No 1 offensive line recruit in the country two years ago, backed out of his commitment to USC in the wake of the NCAA sanctions.
Truth be told, the real teeth of the sanctions are likely to grind at USC after 2012, when the effect of losing 30 scholarships over three seasons (that part of the penalties begin with this recruiting class) start to really take hold, affecting the team's depth and their margin for error in recruiting. Lane Kiffin and his staff has been very strategic in trying to map out a structure in their roster building to keep positions well-stocked and this is a program that did not have a lot of seniors. Kiffin's decision to redshirt 19 scholarship players this season, a lot more than usual at USC, is part of his plan to cope with the long-term stress of the sanctions.
In the short-term, the return of Barkley is huge for this program and on Thursday afternoon, USC sure was in celebration mode. The Trojans had all six of their Heisman Trophies out of their cases flanking a podium that stood in front of a large Christmas tree. A portion of the USC band was on hand to perform. Some of the USC Song Girls stood off to the right of the podium. Despite all of that, and the "unifinished business" mindset, Barkley and Kiffin, though, were quick to try and downplay the notion that 2012 now sets up as a "National Championship of Bust" season.
"I didn't say a word about the national championship out there or the Rose Bowl or the Heisman," Kiffin later explained. "It's just about the team getting better every day, us getting to work and also challenging Matt to keep improving. . . . This is a really special college student-athlete story. And for us to be a part of this story is unbelievable for everyone involved."

Pardon the ignorant canadain here, but what is obamacare? Is it better? From what I read it is a ridiculous amount of money to have a baby, or even decent insurance in the United states.
oh my gosh this thing sounds kinda freaky. It sounds like it was a half assed attempt to move more towards universal that didn't work. :(
I don't understand the fight against universal, it kind of boggles my mind.

They will be offering one plan that has a 10,000$ deductible- and you have to pay for every doctors visit (250$ or so for a simple check up) until you hit that.
^^I think there's mis-information here. On my part or what I don't know. I thought part of Obamacare was mandating insurance companies to cover check-ups and well visits - no co-pay. Businesses have to offer "affordable" plans to their employees ("affordable" meaning less than 10% of their income or the employee could go elsewhere to get insurance.)

We have private health coverage now through my husband's employer (to cover things like dental, eye care and prescriptions). This includes $300k of life insurance each, critical illness (we get a lump sum payment if one of us becomes critically ill), and long term disability.
It works out to about 4% of his income. About 2% of our combined income. For both of us.
Being able to seek medical assistance when you are ill is not a privilege. It is a basic necessity of life. Depriving people of that based on a fear of longer wait times or old equipment disgusts me.
The "Best" healthcare system is the one that offers equal care to every citizen, regardless of social economic status.
Just my opinion, of course.

"I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you ..."
I think I'm reading the chart right. If you're making 400% above poverty level there's a premium cap of 9.5%. If the home income is $88,000 a year for a family of 4, you qualify for an insurance "exchange" and would pay $8300 in premiums.Health insurance exchanges are established, and subsides for insurance premiums are given to individuals who buy a plan from an exchange and have a household income between 133% and 400% of the poverty line.[118][121][122][123] Section 1401(36B) of PPACA explains that each subsidy will be provided as an advanceable, refundable tax credit[124] and gives a formula for its calculation.[125] A refundable tax credit is a way to provide government benefits to individuals who may have no tax liability[126] (such as the Earned Income Tax Credit). The formula was changed in the amendments (HR 4872) passed March 23, 2010, in section 1001. To qualify for the subsidy, the beneficiaries cannot be eligible for other acceptable coverage. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on May 23, 2012, issued joint final rules regarding implementation of the new state-based health insurance exchanges to cover how the exchanges will determine eligibility for uninsured individuals and employees of small businesses seeking to buy insurance on the exchanges, as well as how the exchanges will handle eligibility determinations for low-income individuals applying for newly expanded Medicaid benefits.[127][128] According to DHHS and CRS, in 2014 the income-based premium caps for a "silver" healthcare plan for a family of four will be the following:
|Income % of federal poverty level
|Premium Cap as a Share of Income
|Income $ (family of 4)a
|Max Annual Out-of-Pocket Premium
|Premium Savingsb
|Additional Cost-Sharing Subsidy
|3% of income
|4% of income
|6.3% of income
|8.05% of income
|9.5% of income
|9.5% of income
|9.5% of income
a.^ Note: In 2016, the FPL is projected to equal about $11,800 for a single person and about $24,000 for family of four.[132][133] See Subsidy Calculator for specific dollar amount.[134] b.^ DHHS and CBO estimate the average annual premium cost in 2014 to be $11,328 for family of 4 without the reform.[129]

Im not quite sure how obamacare will affect medicaid, but that is what I have right now. The only reason Im on it is because im single by law and now longer covered on my parents insurance because I chose to stop going to school while going through the pregnancy and ealry childhood. I have to go to a certain hospital/doctor that is covered but I have had no problems so far. Its covered all my basic labs for the first visit but it wont cover the tests for downs syndrome and other possible dissorders. Which is fine with me because both me and daddy are young and healthy with no bad family history. I dont know what else may not be covered later on but im willing to face that bridge when I get there. I just dont understand and strongly disagree with how our country cant help but rather hinder working class citizens who contribute to this society in very significant ways but has no problem covering the full pregnancy of someone like me (low income food and bev. job, no complete college education, etc) I dont agree with it but I figure the government takes my money via social security (which I will never see by the time Im ready retire) and other taxes so I might as well take adavantage of these systems. I do believe that some major changes are needed in our healthcare and other government systems. It doesnt make sense to me but its all we got right now.

PARIS (Reuters) - Small details can be cruelly decisive in big matches as Simona Halep discovered after losing her composure following an umpire's call in Saturday's French Open final against Maria Sharapova.
The fourth seed from Romania was serving at 4-4 in the deciding set when umpire Kader Nouni awarded the first point to Sharapova after overruling a linesperson.
The Russian had hit a shot that was called out, but only after Halep had failed to return the ball back into court.
Halep felt the point should be replayed as she had made contact with the ball, but the umpire disagreed.
"I thought that we have to replay the point because I touched the ball," Halep explained.
"But the rule is, no, if I don't put the ball on the court we cannot replay the point. So I think that ball was very important at that moment."
Sharapova moved 15-0 up and went for the throat as Halep struggled to keep her emotions in check. She won the game to love and served for the match, winning 6-4 6-7(5) 6-4.
"I couldn't manage my nerves maybe and I couldn't stay very focused for the next points," the 22-year-old Halep admitted.
"That's it. That's life."
Sharapova won her fifth grand slam title and her second at Roland Garros.
Halep, however, showed she can be a force in the future, having reached her first grand slam final after making the last eight at the Australian Open earlier this year.
"(I learnt that) I can play at a very high level," she said.
"I saw that I can play well in grand slams, because before (at other majors) I had pressure.
"Before the tournament, in grand slams I could not play my best tennis. But here I did, and I'm really proud of this."
She showed her mettle in the second set tiebreak when Sharapova moved 5-3 up and two points from victory.
When Halep won the next point she started to believe that anything was possible.
"At 5‑4, I had a feeling that I can win the set. It was really tough at that moment," Halep, who had not lost a set before the final, said.
"I believed in my chance to win the second set and to try to win the match in third set. I did very well. I tried everything at that moment and it worked for me."
In the end, however, Sharapova was too strong and the experience she had gained from her previous eight grand slam finals prevailed.
"She is very strong mentally. She's a strong person. And also in important moments she's hitting very strong," said Halep, who last season won six titles to be named the WTA's most improved player.
Halep has clearly improved this year as well and on Monday will move up one place to number three in the rankings.

Reusing Shrinkwrap
Boat shrinkwrap will provide good protection for your boat in storage, but it's not cheap. Bill Toth has found a way to counteract that.
If done correctly with care given for removal, storage, and re-installation, one can get many years out of one wrap job. I am on my sixth year. I'm not sure how the numbers would shake out, and I know boatyards don't want to hear this option, but if each boat reused the shrinkwrap for three years, the positive environmental impact would be substantial.
Here's what I do:
Take pictures in and out of your shrink-wrapped boat and save:
Find the termination point:
- Normally shrinkwrap is started in the bow and terminated in the stern; Center consoles, around the engine, inboards around the transom. Either way, there should be a point starboard and port aft where the drawstring is exposed.
- You need four pairs of vice grips. Securely clamp one at each point the drawstring exits the wrap in the stern. There should be a foot or two of exposed line. Cut in the middle. The vice grips are there to ensure that once cut, the drawstring is not pulled back into the wrap (like losing a thermostat wire down the wall!).
- Now tie four loops (bowline knots preferably), then with two pieces of scrap line tie them to each loop with slack.

It seems like it has rained an awful lot this summer. Now Environment Canada has made it official. We (Toronto) are the wettest part of Canada. We even beat traditionally soggy Vancouver..
So don't tell we that we haven't completely screwed up the earth's weather patterns, We just came out of a winter with record snowfalls and we are on pace to break all rainfall records this year.
Last summer here in Toronto was particularly dry; however, the really strange thing is that we've had about the same amount of sunshine as last summer. You never really know how to dress or when to carry your umbrella!
People get up in the morning and see it's raining and alter their plans accordingly; they cancel day trips, tee off times etc.; then bang out comes the sun!
Nonetheless, we remain the ONLY city in Canada where rain records are being shattered! There are still more than four months to go in 2008 and we've almost had our normal annual quota of precipitation! We have already surpassed the 2007,l 12 month total of? 592.7mm of rain!
What is the forecast for the next two days? There is a 60% chance of rain today and the possibility of thunderstorms. Tomorrow it is predicted that their will be a 40% chance of rain!
There has been an upside to this strange weather. Thus far, the city has been spared the tortuous heat and humidity that is the norm for Toronto summers. And, believe us, that is no small grace!

Run a speed test and compare your connection with Test My Net.
Don't be fooled. Other speed tests, especially tests offered by your Internet provider try to eliminate routing factors. This can make your connection appear faster than it really is.

TestMy.net is not a best case scenario connection test and will test your Internet under real world conditions. [read more]

I'm a former newspaper reporter-turned corporate and organizational communications pro for companies and organizations ranging from Playboy Enterprises (yes, I've been to the Playboy Mansion, but only during daylight hours) to the Nevada System of Higher Education.
I have wide-ranging of experience, including in crisis communications/issues management, blogging, employee/stakeholder engagement/organization and media relations.
My book, Hell AND High Water: The Battle to Save the New Orleans Times-Picayune, was published in late 2013, and is the recipient of three national awards to date, including a Gold Medal in the 2014 Independent Book Publishers Awards. It's about the communitywide, grassroots efforts to save the 175-year-old, four-time Pulitzer Prize-winning publication, and the changes that have continued to roil it and 13 other daily newspapers from Portland, Oregon, to Mobile, Alabama, owned by the nation's second-largest privately held media company, Advance Publications.
