The current balltegrid is just a rough. Graphics are very likely to change and nothing is set in stone. Perhaps some if not all that i type here is rendundant or already considered. I just like making suggestions... it's who i am. Call it the vision of a suggestionfreak, but do note it comes from a graphical background. ;/
I'm talking about this: http://tictactoe.apocoplay.com/
- Pick 1 Style. Wether it's for the borders / playfield / background / card backside / etc. It must all breath the same atmosphere: The Magical Fantasy World called Alteil. For inspiration look at Bioshock: weird mechanical w. cogwheels. Everything in that world has this distinctive feel. For Alteil you may want to look at the soft colorful tones and swirly patterns of Ragnarok, or create a darker 'gothiclike' feel with pointy scales and whatnot. Eitherway when people click Alteil you want it to feel like they've entered your Magical Fantasy World.
Current 'leafs' borderpattern looks like that from my grandma's chair (not a bad thing perse), but the neon playfield is as futuristic as "Tron". I advise you to take a second look and make it all feel consistent from the same universe.
- Take it to the next age. Look interesting. You don't want to go for boring. People must see Alteil and think 'hey wow, that looks amazingly cool'. If it looks interesting people take the time to learn it. If it looks boring they're quicker to cast it aside.
I know there's much to say for functionality over distraction, specially when you want to teach something. But even MagicTheGathering stopped making plain square borders around their cards ages ago? People can handle abit of chaos if it makes things more interesting. (logical placement and smart use of space help to set aside what's really important) This generation of high res gamers has no problems with focuss, while hell breaks lose left and right while **** grannies start dancing on the bottom of their screens. Don't be afraid to spice it up a little:
- Spherelvl globes could be (softly) pulsing with light. So could the sp meter get some sort of lightning effect around it.
- A spinning Magical Circle in the center. Tiny lightningsurges come from it and disappear into the borderpatterns.
- Background color changes with the time of day. (<- one i know you're already considering)
- A viarity of animations. Think about when cards enter different zones. (it could fly, flip, fade or incinerate into a designated zone)
- Smooth entering /exitting of popups with battle information. (click on card, and unit details slide out/appear from within border, or an Alteil 'pokedex' version gets closer into view)
- High res character Art that come into the screen to explain or say stuff. They could replace/add to the current assistant feature. Moving avatar layers would be nice like Cigarette smoke, Pixy pet going up and down, blinking star from a swords edge, etc.
- Basically hire an Art Director to dress up your game.
I lost my motivation to spend more time on this post. I typed this twice after my comp froze and already got it out of my system. If people are interested in talking about the new battlegrid, go ahead.

The recent "balloon boy" hoax that had citizens across the country glued to news outlets late last week brings Billy Wilder's 1951 film classic Ace in the Hole back to my mind, in a big way. Ignored in its time, the film predicted the modern-day "media circus" that persists around human interest stories - true or otherwise.
Scenery-chewing (and I mean that as a compliment) Kirk Douglas plays a shady reporter who unexpectedly comes across a man trapped in a cave before any local help has been summoned. Sensing that he's on to a big scoop, he decides to make it bigger by manipulating the rescue effort for maximum dramatic effect – bringing as much media attention to him as that paid to the hapless victim biding his ever-lengthening, nail-biting time at the bottom of the cave-in. Though the noirish theatrics push the boundaries of credibility, if you're familiar with the film Wilder made just prior to this - the sublime Sunset Boulevard - you know that OTT can be a good thing in the right hands.
Due to its unavailability in any video format until Criterion's 2007 DVD release, the film has been something of a rarity in Wilder's oeuvre, hardly as well-known as Some Like it Hot, Double Indemnity, or The Apartment. It didn't do well in its theatrical release (the studio changing the film's title to The Big Carnival without Wilder's approval), and many contemporary critics found it far too cynical to be believable – but it's that very cynicism that makes the film very of-the-moment, even six decades after its first screening. Ace in the Hole is no second-string Wilder production – it's a first-rate film that's simply ahead of its time.

Rescuers lassoed the animal and were able to drag it across the lake to safety.

The US government has said it is doing all it can to encourage the country's corporate entities to invest and export to African countries, particularly to Tanzania.
This was said yesterday by US Assistant Secretary for the African Affairs Bureau, Johnnie Carson, in a teleconferencing held at the country's embassy in Dar es Salaam that the main drive for the assistance is to help African countries meet the Millennium Development Goals.
Carson, who was speaking to journalists across the continent on the US policy on African countries, said, besides, they encourage US businessmen to look at Africa as one market they can benefit from.
"We encourage US businesses to embark on this strategy because Africa has enormous resources that can help it to move from where it is if it embarks on massive investments," he said.
The US believes that Africa has a significantly growing market in US because 18 to 19 percent of all imported products are sourced from the continent, he said. These include petroleum, minerals, agricultural produce and other products.
In terms of minerals from Africa, he said, the US doesn't import many finished products, noting that most of them are from South Africa.
He said he believes that trade between the US and African countries will continue to grow substantially because of the new American government drive that its firms should increase investments in African countries.
Apart from encouraging US firms to invest in the continent, the US government will continue to work in partnership with African countries to support them build democracy, support health services, boost agricultural production, he said.
He said it is now time to focus on Africa because the continent's economic potential is well known noting that in other areas, US will continue working with the governments on bilateral basis to improve good governance and help build judiciary systems."
Speaking on the Green Revolution, he said, President Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete will join US President Barack Obama during the five-day G8 Summit to discuss issues relating to agriculture and food security.
While in the US President Kikwete and other Africa leaders will discuss different issues agricultural sector development and how the continent can have enough food for export to the world and security within their respective countries.
They have decided to focus on agricultural sector because although Africa has enough agricultural potential, absolutely the Green Revolution has not yet come to the continent.
Also while in the US, the African leaders will sign a memorandum of understanding with G8 countries for initiating major development projects in Africa countries.
At the teleconferencing meeting, Ambassador Carson addressed a wide range of topics on US engagement on the continent, including recent developments in Sudan and South Sudan, Guinea-Bissau, Mali and Nigeria.

Comfort is paramount when you're learning to ride. Uncomfortable pressure points and sloppy fit not only hamper your fun on the slopes, but they ultimately prevent you from linking first turns or learning 180s. Progress your riding ability with the forgiving flex and easy lacing of the Vans Women's Extent Boa Snowboard Boot. A soft flex provides ample movement needed to perfect carves, yet it gives proper support when learning tricks.
Forget freezing your fingers when tightening boots outside. A Boa Coiler closure system is featured for a quick and secure fit. As simple as pushing and twisting a dedicated knob, tighten each boot in mere seconds. A TriFit liner is heat-moldable for a truly custom fit, and it features internal L-pads for solid heel hold. Providing a comfortable foundation for riding, a V1 EVA footbed has molded multi-arch support and airflow perforations. A Pro-Flex outsole with waffle tread pattern allows for superior traction and skate-like feel when strapped in.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Commissioners are one step closer to approving a fee to help keep Augusta above water.
Commissioners put a plan in action to figure out how much money they will need to collect from taxpayers to fix the problem.
Commissioner Grady Smith says, "You've got to maintain a system. And, as old as Augusta is, and our water system and stormwater and everything, there's a certain amount of repair that needs to be done."
Director of Engineering in Richmond County Abie Latson says, "If you look around town, we currently have sinkholes all over the place, not just in downtown but in all districts."
Commissioners have been battling for months over a proposed stormwater fee to help fix the drainage and flooding problems.
"This is something we've been sliding to the side, and it's time to do something," Smith said.
On Monday, commissioners approved a step-by-step plan to evaluate the current system.
"It has to be studied some more to actually get concrete numbers," Latson said.
Now the Engineering Department will take inventory of all the clogged drains and pipe issues to figure out how much money it will actually take to fix the problem.
"I'm a taxpayer, too. I don't want to just all of a sudden say, yeah tax me another $100 -- no, I want to say what's it going for?" Smith said.
But for families living in fear of the next rain shower, Latson says, "If we can't maintain it and we can't build new infrastructure, then of course the residents will suffer in the short term and in the long term."
We are told it will still probably be a year and a half or two years before the Engineering Department can decide on a proposed fee.

Comments On Sep 17, 2012:Bought these for my Ktm 690 Smc supermoto on a whim to replace the Pirellis that were on it. I'd say they are pretty comprible in performance. And are around half the price. Lasted me about 3000 miles with 80% of those miles on twisty canyon roads. They stick to the ground well, all the way to the sidewall.

Comments On May 21, 2011:Fitted these tires to my GSXR1000 recently and have found them to be an excellent tire so far. I ride up and around our local mountain at speed, and with the conditions being cool my old tires struggled. These grip well even with damp patches still on the roadway in the shadows. The tires get to operating temperatures quickly giving a smooth ride with excellent tip in qualities whilst cornering. Recommend.

This past year, ONEplace increased its assistance and training with nonprofit boards. One of the insights from working with almost 20 boards is that there often is confusion as to what is and is not the board's role. We find this is true for experienced board members as well as newer members.
This is not surprising. As the world around us changes, the governance challenges shift as well. Concerns with funding, long-term planning, and public perception lead us into a labyrinth of ideas as well as stories of past successes and failures. As one person put it, "It's easy to get lost in the weeds."
To address this fundamental concern, ONEplace will offer a Board Membership 101 workshop three times over the next year. During this 90-minute workshop, participants will:
The next Board Membership 101 is scheduled for Tuesday, June 24 at 4 pm. Others are slated for October and April. Consider having two or more of your board members attend the upcoming workshop to see how this event may integrate with your onboarding and continuous improvement processes.

Friend charged with murder in Roseville man's death
By: Brad Smith The Press Tribune
Police have arrested a Roseville man early Monday in connection with his friend's murder. Lt. Michael Doane of the Roseville Police Department said during a Monday morning press conference that Brad Robert Miller, 46, of Roseville, was arrested for the murder of Eric Dale McGhee, 40. "Mr. Miller was arrested Saturday afternoon on a DUI charge," Doane said. "He was transported to the Placer County Jail. When detectives had pieced together evidence, they went to the jail and arrested the suspect sometime around 4 a.m." Doane said that Miller had been driving the victim's car Saturday. "Many people reported the suspect's erratic driving on Saturday," Doane said. "The suspect was asleep behind the wheel when officers located the car." Doane said McGhee and Miller knew one another. "They were friends," Doane said. "The detectives are still trying to learn more about their relationship." Dee Dee Gunther, department spokeswoman, said members of McGhee's family contacted Roseville police at 5:20 p.m. Sunday and requested a welfare check. "They hadn't heard from him for a few days," Gunther said. "They were worried about him and asked if officers could check on him." Doane said that one neighbor attempted to check on McGhee. "He did enter the house and found some things that didn't look right," Doane said. "He left the house and talked to the family." Officers arrived at the man's home at the 500 block of Farridge Drive and checked the residence. Officers searched rooms and found McGhee's body. "The victim was shot multiple times," Doane said. Doane said the officers secured the crime scene as quickly as possible. "We needed to get a warrant to thoroughly search the house," Doane said. Doane said that no one reported gunshots and no items appear to be missing from the house. "However, the investigation is just beginning," he said. "Something might turn up. We'll wait and see." Doane said that investigators have been in contact with both McGhee's ex-wife and current wife. He said that McGhee's current wife is away on a trip. "That's why our investigators haven't formally interviewed her," Doane said. Yellow-and-black crime scene tape and orange pylons cordoned off the victim's house as crime scene investigators, wearing white jumpsuits, carried cameras and other equipment into the McGhee house. Neighbors William and Anglea Strickler said this shocked them. "We lived here for 10 years now," Angela Strickler said. "We've never had anything like this happen in the neighborhood. It's always quiet here." The Stricklers said they did not know McGhee by name but knew him by sight. They said he seemed friendly but kept to himself. "He was always nice and pleasant, would always smile and wave," Angela Strickler said. "I feel so bad for his kids. This has to be a terrible time for them." The Stricklers had been out of town over the weekend. When they arrived home Sunday afternoon, they noticed McGhee's daughter talking to other neighbors. "She was upset," William Strickler said. "She hadn't heard from her dad in a few days and was worried about him." Strickler said when she later saw the police and crime scene tape, she felt sick. "It's something you see on TV," she said. "But you never expect in your own neighborhood." Gunther said the detectives were continuing their investigation. Miller is tentatively scheduled for arraignment in court at 1 p.m. April 20. ---------- Police are investigating a Roseville man's death after making a welfare check at his home late Sunday afternoon. Dee Dee Gunther, department spokeswoman, said concerned family members contacted Roseville police at 5:20 p.m. and requested a welfare check. "They hadn't heard from him for a few days," Gunther said. "They were worried about him and asked if officers could check on him." Officers arrived at the man's home at the 500 block of Farridge Drive and checked the residence. Officers searched rooms and found the man's body. In earlier media reports, Roseville police said they were treating the case as a homicide and could not comment on what their suspicions were or what evidence was found. Gunther said the victim's name was being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- Three people have been arrested after a man told police he and two friends had escaped from kidnappers.
Police said the alleged abductions occurred shortly after midnight on Tuesday when they responded to a report of a gunman chasing another man.
The other two victims were later found safe.
The suspects are identified as 29-year-old Joshua Takacs, 26-year-old Dustin Turner and 24-year-old Corey Garrett.
Police say they are seeking a fourth suspect who is wanted on a warrant in another kidnapping case.

This is what the greatest GM of all time, with $10,000,000 in cap room, has given Brady. If I were Tom Brady, I'd demand a trade.
You'd demand a trade even though the old and one dimensional WR group from last year is now younger, bigger, faster and appears just flat out better?
The starters on the o-line are back and the RB group is solid and perhaps deeper than last year.
I get the concern about inexperience but I'd be excited about this offense if I was Brady.

Her Best Role: Angelina Jolie Gives Powerful Speech at G8 Summit (Video)Sunny Chanel
Angelina Jolie has had a whole bunch of great roles; the tigress in Kung Fu Panda, Jane Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and who can forget her as Laura Croft. But her best, and most important, role is that of activist and champion for those who are struggling and suffering around the world. At the G8 Summit in London, Angelina Jolie addressed the horrific act of rape during wartime.
Addressing the crowds of politicians she stated that, "hundreds of thousands of women and children have been sexually assaulted in the wars of our generation. But wartime rape is not inevitable." She added that, "this violence can be prevented, and it must be confronted. I have heard survivors of rape from Bosnia to (the Congo) say that the world simply does not care about them." But she did offer hope saying, "but today I believe that their voices have been heard, and that we finally have some hope to offer them." And with a voice like Angelina's on their side, they will be heard.
Watch Angelina Jolie's powerful speech below:

Members of the La Grange City Council will soon appoint a new council member to fill a seat vacated by the late James Beaumont.
Beaumont died Dec. 12. He served two stints on the council and was the city's first African-American council member.
Mayor Elsie Carter said she plans to present the council with a letter of interest from Denise Watts Wilson at the council's regular meeting on Monday.
Though others have expressed interest, Carter said Wilson is the only candidate who had submitted a letter of intent as of Dec. 31.

The Blick 906 Etching Press is an economically priced press, ideal for home studios, art fairs, and schools. Every 906 etching press is hand built especially for us using only the finest quality, American-made parts.
The 906 Press is gear driven for easy pulling of etchings, drypoints, engravings, collagraphs, linoleum block prints, and paper plate lithographs. Calibrated pressure adjusters let you see exactly how much pressure is being applied. The 4" (10 cm) diameter, lathe-turned upper roll can be raised to accommodate mounted linoleum up to 22 mm thick. The total clearance without a blanket is 32 mm (1¼").
For the secondary school classroom as well as the individual art studio, the 906 is an excellent choice. Its maximum print size is 12" × 24" (305 mm × 610 mm) with the 26" (66 cm) bed plate, and 12" × 34" (305 mm × 860 cm) with the 36" (91 cm) bed plate.
Printmakers have found that the lightweight 906 press travels nicely to art fairs and workshops. Removing the bed plate makes carrying the press easier.
Bed plates and one gray ¼" cushion blanket are sold in a separate package from the press body. We recommend the additional purchase of a catcher and a pusher with your press.
For Your Information — We recommend that you use three blankets — a cushion, a pusher, and a catcher — to equalize the pressure and lessen the strain on the upper roller shafts of your press. You will need a catcher and a pusher. The catcher blanket should be placed directly on top of your damp printing paper, the cushion blanket on top of the catcher, and the pusher on the very top. The catcher blanket should be washed regularly so that it doesn't become stiff from the sizing.
906 Etching Press Bench — Made of sturdy steel construction for the 906 press, regardless of its date of manufacture. It has a convenient storage shelf below. Stands 29" high × 50" long, and is 15½" wide.
Wool Blankets — These blankets, especially for the 906 press, are made of fine quality, dense wool felt.

Water Fight
Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

A radionuclide cisternogram is a nuclear scan test. It is used to diagnose problems with the flow of spinal fluid.
CSF flow scan; Cisternogram
A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) is done first. Small amounts of radioactive material, called a radioisotope, are injected into the fluid within the spine.
You will then be scanned 4 to 6 hours after getting the injection. A special camera takes images that show how the radioactive materials travel with the cerebrospinal fluid through the spine. The images also show if the fluid leaks outside the spine.
You will be scanned again 24 hours after injection. You may need additional scans possibly at 48 and 72 hours after injection.
Most of the time you do not need to prepare for this test. Your doctor may give you a medicine to calm your nerves if you are very anxious. You will sign a consent form before the test.
You will wear a hospital gown during the scan so the doctors have access to your spine. You will also need to remove jewelry or metallic objects before the scan.
Numbing medicine will be put on your lower back before the lumbar puncture. However, many people find lumbar puncture somewhat uncomfortable. This is often due to the pressure on the spine when the needle is inserted.
The scan is painless, although the table may be cold or hard. No discomfort is produced by the radioisotope or the scanner.
The test is performed to detect problems with flow of spinal fluid and spinal fluid leaks.
A normal value indicates normal circulation of CSF through all parts of the brain and spinal cord.
An abnormal result indicates disorders of CSF circulation. These may include:
Risks associated with a lumbar puncture include pain at the injection site, bleeding, and infection. There is also a very rare chance of nerve damage.
The amount of radiation used during the nuclear scan is very small. Almost all of the radiation is gone within a few days. There are no known cases where the radioisotope has caused the patient harm. However, as with any radiation exposure, caution is advised if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Very rarely, a person may have an allergic reaction to the radioisotope used during the scan. This may include a serious anaphylactic reaction.
You should lie flat after the lumbar puncture. This can help prevent headache from the lumbar puncture. No other special care is necessary.

He studied in Germany, France, and the US, and has previously taught at the University of Hildesheim in Germany. He is the author of No Place Like Home: Locations of Heimat in German Cinema, winner of the MLA Scaglione Prize for Best Book in German Studies. Combining his interests in German, Film, and Cultural Studies, he has published widely on issues in German Cinema, Critical Theory, and 20th-century German culture. Articles on Siegfried Kracauer and Theodor Adorno, the work of Alexander Kluge, the role of melodrama and affect in recent historical "event television," on New German Cinema, the phenomenon of stardom in Germany and Hollywood, representations of Jewishness, the culture of Americanization, and popular culture in postwar Germany, and more have appeared, among others, in Criticism, New German Critique, Screen, Cinema Journal, Germanic Review as well as in numerous edited volumes in the U.S. and Germany. Together with Julia Hell and Andreas Gailus, Johannes von Moltke currently serves as executive editor for The Germanic Review, and together with Gerd Gemünden he is the series editor for Screen Cultures: German Film and the Visual at Camden House. He is the organizer of the biannual German Film Institute, was recently elected to the Board of the German Studies Association, and serves on the executive board of the University of Michigan Press.
Professor von Moltke's current research concerns Siegfried Kracauer's role as a cultural theorist at the intersection of the Frankfurt School and the New York Intellectuals. The monograph he is completing is titled "Manhattan Transfer: Siegfried Kracauer, Critical Theory, and the New York Intellectuals." This work has also led to the recent publication of essays by and about Kracauer, respectively: together with Gerd Gemünden (Dartmouth College), von Moltke assembled an interdisciplinary anthology of essays entitled Culture in the Anteroom: The Legacies of Siegfried Kracauer (University of Michigan Press, 2012); and together with Kristy Rawson, who received her PhD in Screen Arts & Cultures at Michigan, he compiled Siegfried Kracauer's American Writings: Essays on Film and Popular Culture (University of California Press, 2012).

text: The Shun Blue Steel series was developed in partnership with award-winning chef Chris Cosentino, known for his "nose to tail" philosophy of using the whole animal. These traditional Japanese knives feature a core of blue steel – a fine-grained carbon steel favored by professional chefs for its blazing sharpness – encased between two layers of stainless steel. A smaller version of the sobakiri (soba noodle knife), the menkiri has a long, straight edge that creates stability when cutting straight down.

A man authorities think robbed one bank in the east after workers at another local bank foiled his efforts is under arrest after police caught up with him on the other side of the state.
Brian Lancaster was arrested at a motel in Asheville around 3:00 a.m. Wednesday. As of Thursday morning, jail records show that Lancaster is back in Halifax County now.
Lancaster is accused of robbing the Southern Bank and Trust on East 10th Street in Roanoke Rapids, and attempting to hold up the Heritage Bank in Fremont in Wayne County last Tuesday.
Previous story:
Lawmen say a bank robbery this morning is connected to an attempted bank robbery that happened Tuesday three counties away.
The Southern Bank & Trust Co. branch on East 10th Street in Roanoke Rapids was held up around 10:40 a.m.
The gunman pointed a gun at employees. He is described as a white man, wearing a dark hoodie and a ski cap.
Yesterday a man tried to rob the Heritage Bank in Fremont in Wayne County just after lunch. Chief Paul Moats tells WITN that after comparing photographs they say the same man robbed the bank today in Roanoke Rapids.
Moats says the man is wearing the same hooded sweatshirt in both surveillance photos. He says his department is now working with Roanoke Rapids police on the two cases.
Click on the image above to view additional pictures of the bank robber.
In the Fremont case, police say the man tried to get into the bank through a locked door. Bank employees foiled the attempt by activating additional security measures.
The North Carolina Bankers Association offers a reward for information leading to the arrest and indictment of any individuals who were involved.
Anyone having information concerning the robberies may contact the FBI, confidentially and toll-free, at 1-800-209-2293.

Europe and Central Asia
During the summer of 2010, forest fires ravaged parts of Madeira, a Portuguese island and home to Europe's rarest seabird, Zino's Petrel. However, BirdLife supporters around the world rallied to help.
Staff from SPEA (BirdLife in Portugal) and the Parque Natural da Madeira – PNM keep working to restore the areas destroyed by the forest fires.

Comments On Nov 24, 2012:I have used this pack for a year now. I crash, rub trees, used it for a heavy hunting bag, and swim with it. no frays anywhere not faded at all, and all the zippers work well. the bag tightens downs well with the pull straps on the sides. and with the support straps around the waist it does not bounce around when i am ripping down jerseys garbage trails. 5 stars will buy again if this one ever breaks down.

Comments On Oct 17, 2012:Purchased for large capacity. Tank is located behing your back and will only fit backwards, this means you have to remove the pack and dismantle to reload the bag. Should be able to have someone open the zipper and refill, nope, take it off and apart. Really dumb, also has a short hose, barely gets to my mouth, off to the hardware store to find a connector and fix, as the dealer does not stock Camel parts. Also has a small delivery opening, have to draw hard and for an extended time to get a couple good drinks. Don't buy this if you are a racer, does not work, poor design

Vulcan salute
this wiki
(covers information from several alternate timelines)
The Vulcan salute was a hand gesture used by Vulcans. It involved holding the palm of one hand outwards while placing the fingers in a "V" shaped by separating the middle and ring fingers, while keeping the others together.
The salute was part of both Vulcan greetings and farewells. The formal phrase associated with the salute in both cases was "Live long and prosper." (Star Trek: First Contact; TOS: "Amok Time")
When parties took their leave of each other, one party could use the phrase "Peace and long life" and still receive "Live long and prosper" as a reply. (TOS: "Is There in Truth No Beauty?", "The Savage Curtain"; TNG: "Sarek", "Unification I") Alternately, each party could simply state to the other "Live long and prosper, (name)." (TOS: "Amok Time"; VOY: various episodes)
In Vulcan language, "Live long and prosper" was pronounced "Dif tor heh smusma." (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)
In diplomatic situations, the greeting used was "I/We (depending on situation) come to serve," possibly prefaced by the statement of the initiators' name. The response was "Your service honors us." (TOS: "Journey to Babel"; TNG: "Data's Day", "Sarek", "Unification I")
In 2151, an ornament of Surak performing the Vulcan salute with both hands was displayed aboard the Vahklas, a Vulcan civilian transport ship. Unlike other Vulcan salutes, Surak's hands were not held upright. (ENT: "Fusion")
Several Humans greeted Vulcans with this gesture, including Captain Jonathan Archer in 2154 (ENT: "Kir'Shara") and Captain Jean-Luc Picard in 2368. T'Pol taught Trip the salute when she took him to Vulcan to meet her mother, T'Les (TNG: "Unification I"; ENT: "Home") Zefram Cochrane tried and failed to perform it in 2063 at First Contact; he settled on a handshake instead. (Star Trek: First Contact) The saying was quite well-known among those in Starfleet – in 2375, trapped in the Delta Flyer under layers of rock, two minutes before the air would run out, Tuvok told Tom Paris that "In accepting the inevitable, one finds peace," to which Paris responded that, if this was another Vulcan axiom, he would stick to "Live long and prosper." Fortunately, Paris had barely finished the sentence when he was interrupted by the sound of Voyager's phaser drills breaking through the rock, and those on board the Flyer were safely beamed back to the ship. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time")
As a practical joke, Tom Paris and Harry Kim once reprogrammed Tuvok's security console so that it said "live long and prosper" whenever he accessed the internal sensors. They also reprogrammed his replicator the same way. (VOY: "Revulsion")
In 2258, in the alternate reality brought about by Nero's incursion, Spock, after speaking with his younger counterpart, made the hand gesture but said "good luck" as he felt it would be "oddly self-serving" to say the usual phrase to himself. (Star Trek)
Mirror universe
In the mirror universe, it was not safe, even behind closed doors, for Vulcans to perform the Vulcan salute for fear that they might be seen by a Terran. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part II")
The first Vulcan to step on Terran soil used the traditional greeting before being shot by Zefram Cochrane after he failed to duplicate the gesture. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly")
Background information
The Vulcan salute was devised by Leonard Nimoy, based on a gesture made by various Jewish denominations, including Orthodox and Conservative. Nimoy learned the gesture, which takes practice to do, from visiting his grandfather's synagogue as a child. According to Nimoy in the 1984 television special Leonard Nimoy: Star Trek Memories, the original script for "Amok Time" called for Spock to walk up to T'Pau and then they would exchange brief greetings. Nimoy thought this might be a good chance to bring something unique to the Vulcan people. When he spoke to the show's director, Nimoy remarked that as an example, like most people will shake hands, how military officers salute each other and Asians will bow to each other, perhaps Vulcans will do the salute that he remembered from his childhood and the director agreed to try it. According to Nimoy however, they ran into a problem when the actress playing T'Pau, Celia Lovsky, couldn't do the salute. According to Nimoy, they used a simple camera trick where her hands were below camera frame and she used her other hand to get her hand in the proper position and the salute would be born.
The gesture forms the Hebrew letter "Shin" and represents the name Shaddai, which means "Almighty (God)." The hand gesture is traditionally used by the Kohanim (Hebrew "priests"), Jews of priestly descent, during a blessing ceremony performed during the prayer service of certain Jewish holy days.
The Jewish blessing is done with both hands, with arms extended upward at roughly a 45-degree angle, rather than one hand held upright as in the Salute. The blessing is found in Numbers 6:22 of the Old Testament where God tells Aaron, Moses' brother, the first High Priest, to bless the Israelites and say, "May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." (There are numerous common translations).
The grammatical format of the salutation is very similar to (and probably based upon) the Hebrew greeting, "Shalom aleichem" (peace be upon you) and its usual reply, "Aleichem Shalom" (upon you be peace). There also the Arabic version (As-Salamu Alaykum) and the Yiddish version (şolem aleyxem) of it, with roughly the same meaning.
William Shatner appears unable to produce the Vulcan salute. If you look closely at his hands in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock when he performs the salute, it appears that fishing line holds two of his fingers together. On the video William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy: The Twenty-Five Year Mission, Nimoy and Shatner joked about this with Nimoy saying "It took me years of diligent practice and self-denial to be able to do that." Shatner then quipped "So that's why I can't do it!"
In TV Land's The 100 Greatest TV Quotes & Catchphrases, Shatner described the salute as a benediction, comparing it to the Sign of the Cross. During a June, 2009 appearance on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, Shatner demonstrated his inability to perform the salute, to which O'Brien responded with a perfect salute of his own.
As an in-joke, one of the gestures of the M-9 sign language is similar to the Vulcan salute. (Star Trek Encyclopedia)
The first Vulcan to fail to perform the salute on-screen was Sarek in TNG: "Unification I", being terminally ill.
The Filipino greeting "Mabuhay" can also be roughly translated as "live long and prosper" (it literally means "Live", but the expression is meant to convey a wish for someone to have a long and prosperous life in order to truly "live"). [1]
In Act 5, Scene 3, line 42, of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Romeo says to Balthasar, "Live, and be prosperous, and farwell good fellow." [2]

Momma's Boy is a mission in The Ballad of Gay Tony that protagonist Luis Fernando Lopez does for his mother, Adriana Lopez.
Luis learns that his mother, Adriana has amassed a debt after losing her job and has turned to a shady loan shark named Mr. Santo. Santo is pleasant with Luis' mother, but when alone with Luis, threatens to burn her house and belongings. Mr. Santo creates a plan to fix an underground fighting match with the L.C. Cage Fighters - a group Luis was affiliated with before his prison term - and earn a hefty sum off the betting, enough to pay off the debt. Although wary of the loan shark, Luis reluctantly agrees.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Follow Santo
- Beat up the chef
- Beat up the ruffian
- Beat up the hobo or get your heath below half and take a dive
- Kill Santo (This objective only needs to be completed if you do NOT take a dive in the third round)
100% Objectives
Complete the mission in under 3:10
Take less than 10% damage
Use the crowd to hold an opponent for easier attacking.
Use a counter attack to knock out an opponent.
- Fighter 1
- Fighter 2
- Fighter 3 (optional)
- Mr. Santo (optional)
Santo will walk Luis to the ring's entrance, which is in an alleyway one block south of his mother's house. Luis gains free entry into the fighting area for this mission. The player will then receive an overview of the fighting area, and the betting booth outside the ring, which can be visited once the mission is completed. As the match begins, the player will receive the standard tutorial for melee combat as he is fighting. The right shoulder button is changed from cover to taunt, and Luis can punch fighters against populated walls to get help from the crowd.
Luis is instructed to defeat the first two fighters: the first fighter is a bulky chef, and the second is a muscular ruffian. Santo will tell Luis to take a dive against the third fighter, who is a scrappy hobo that has fought him in the past. Should Luis proceed to take down the third fighter, Santo scolds him and threatens to burn his mom's house and pulls a knife on him, and Luis will be able to kill him. If he takes the dive, Santo will acknowledge his mother's debt as paid and never physically show up again.
Video Walkthrough
After the Mission
Should you take a dive in the third round (allowing Santo to live), a call later in the game will indicate Santo is still social with Luis' mother, but she no longer owes him any money. Luis will be able to return to the fighting scene to brawl for cash and the Bear Fight achievement for a $100 entry fee, or spectate the fight and bet money on other fighters for a $50 entry fee. Luis' mother's next mission, Corner Kids, will be unlocked.
This mission doubles ammunition of Luis's weapons.
- Mr. Santo (optional) - If Luis doesn't take a dive during the third fight, Santo will pull a knife out, and Luis must kill him.
- The player will not be able to use Luis' cellphone while fighting Santo. This is probably due to being unable to use it during cage fights, and is still in effect during Santo's fight. It is unknown if there is any trick to counter the glitch.
- It is suggest by many fans of the GTA series that winning the fight and killing Santo is canon to the GTA IV era with many reasons being for this topic, one of the reasons are that after killing Santo, Luis's mother will criticize him for his attitude which would be more common in his story than for her to criticize Luis for not sticking up for her and his pride (Taking a dive during the cage match and letting Santo live). Another reason is that you need to keep your health up to get a 100% in this mission (losing half of your health to take a dive loses the chance to do so).
- There is a glitch in this mission that gives an infinite loading time after the first cutscene, or after you win the cage fights and about to fight Santo. This also happens during High Dive.
