This was the Making Of from the AVGN Volume One DVD from 2006.
Not to be confused with "The Making Of The Angry Video Game Nerd" which was Episode 102 from 2011. You can see that HERE.

Is this supposed to be muted? I hear no audio on this video, and the volumes all the way up.
Never mind. It's working for me now. Oh well. FIRST!!!
wow im ganna buy his avgn dvd boxset =D just for the making off and behind the scenes
[email protected] Gustafson Some of the extras are hilarious on these DVD's…I loved the 3D device they put on the website a couple of weeks ago…
Fucking stellar. I love this kind of shit. I'm definitely getting the 5 pack now. I just need to get paid again. :P
Make some more videos about your life, just like; The Dragon in My Dreams (Cinemassacre 300) and Cinemassacre 200.
They're nice to watch :).
hell yeah!
Keep up the good work James! Big fan
They deleted him from the Wiki page because they are so damn stingy on there
i saw Super Street Fighter 2: the new challangers on the tv in thee back yay! . this was a great short little sum up, altho i belive i have heard how you became avgn before ,:o not sure in which video tho.
you cheeky bastards
Classic Nerd at its finest. : )
As I said before, come next month, I'll be buying all 5 volumes and probably even a shirt or two. Stay strong, James, and don't give up. : )
Very cool! I gotta say James I have often said to some Fanboys "Uhm, you know the NERD is just a character right? James is a film maker and the AVGN though his most popular and well known character is just one thing James does" I have also pointed many to this site. Now instead of wasting my time I will simply direct them to this video, if they don't "GET IT" after that then i give up lol! Thanks for doing this.
Wonder how many other internet denizens have Youtube gold just sitting around on VHS?
Thanks for the videos, James.You're right. These videos are a lot of fun because so many of us have gotten so pissed at so many games (wow, lotta "so"s!). My older brother got so angry that he'd pound the living hell out of the console! We actually went through some 6 or 7 Nintendos because of that.Hope the movie's going well!
I like how he talks about the Nerd as just one of his characters and projects, instead of talking about the Nerd as himself.
If you think about it, this video not only documents how the style of the Nerd came to be, but it's also a part of the history of how the whole internet videogame review genre came to be like it is today, since the Nerd style influenced so many people.
[email protected] observation, and its as you say the style every reviewers use today. its nice to see how james helped forming this style of reveiwing, also james good luck with the movie i forgot to mention that
Yeah, I've already seen this video on the Volume 1 DVD, but there it's longer, it has 13 minutes. Here it got 10 minutes. Why did you cut out those 3 minutes? Mike was speaking there too.
[email protected] he didnt wanted to give away all the parts of this bonus from the DVD and let them discover that in the bonus when they purchase the dvd's
I remember when I became a fan. I didn't know about cinemassacre I just like how the nerd made fun of the games I played when I was a wii lad. Then I found the sight and checked out the reviews on all the classic movies and cartoons and it was good. Down with over convoluted cg movies.
[email protected] It's "site." I love how dumb the world is today.
[email protected]@Shadowtheman Maybe he means "The Sight" as in his eyes have been opened thanks to Cinemassacre! lol
[email protected] was a little bit uncalled for. You can find far more ignorant comments on YouTube. Leave him alone; it was probably just an honest typo.
he cud b 1 uv da ppl dat typ lik dis, fuk off u faget
[email protected] Sheesh I didn't mean to offend you and your boyfriend. It just baffles me how many people don't know how to write. I bet he is going to write "your dumb" next. (you're)
[email protected] down, you're parading yourself as an asshole. Stupid kid.
can't wait for the movie! Damn!
Love The review its always good back and to look how you started and James did a great job Its nice to see how the nerd originated. Love how doom is playing in the background the new song sounds great oh and that Jason mask is sweeet.
Haha it started as a trilogy and then he just couldn't stop! Sounds familiar…
James, I bought your AVGN T-Shirt and the Plush Toy. The Plush sits on top of my SNES Collection and I wear the T-Shirt around everywhere. Honestly, if I didnt have to bathe or wash that shirt, I would wear it constantly. Another thing that chaps my ass, you need to open up the Donations again! The Wife and I were waiting til PayDay, WE WANT TO DONATE!!! Dont hate, let us Donate!
I regret buying the DVDs now as the extras are now being released for free now.
you've come a long way as AVGN
you were thinking what was soon to be brilliance
It's very interesting to hear more about how it all got started. Let's hope that it goes on for years to come!
I was a fan at the start and I will be a fan tell the end
Thats was up bro keep youre thang i aint mad at u lol
Im going to buy the DVD as soon as I have time, the problem is that I live in the Dominican Republic, so I ll have to wait for it.
yyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh! ♥
OH! My Wife wants me to mention that SHE bought the T-Shirt and Plush, I got carried away typing and was in a frenzie and didnt mention that tidbit. Do you need a bodyguard? I can kick some ass and I dont care if its a biker, Ill fight him! Also, uh this is my wife wanting to know this….We live in NC and we heard that you live on the East Coast, she was wondering if You and Mrs. Nerd would like to visit and have dinner? I can cook up some mean Ramen! Not really, we wont have Ramen. You can stay with us or Ill book you a Hotel. Ill give up my side of the bed anyday.
M. Herr III Wellington
Make more videos about your life James, they are very interesting, like The dragon of my dreams. Its one of my favorites
Very interesting James, keep up the great work! AVGN4life
I just finished watchIng this on your website lolz
I realized vocally Kyle Justin sounds alot like Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies. Anyone else agree?
where can i buy the dvds?
This is well and good, but when are the nerd videos starting again? It's been almost three months since the last one!
As one of the few humans featured in this video I must say I am honored. Congrats, James, on 150 great and funny films woo hoo! Keep 'em coming. Steve
Jeff, he's started work on AVGN movie, so no episodes until that's ready.
Really? Where did he say that?!
"Without my movies, im nobody really…"-James Rolfe (2002) :') keep it up James you are somebody!
On his website….he's posted alot of videos about it. You should check them out.
James = why the internet is great
Awesome, thanks for filming this
Brought back memories…
Its truly amazing how it all went uphill.
MFW watching this drunk o.O
James looks so weird.
great^^and now its the best internetshow EVER!!
You people forced me to sing about diarrhea. – can't stop laughing
James you sir are the best man on the internet
yay, thanks LJN for creating the nerd LOL
One of the most awesome 5-year-old videos I have seen and I reeeeaallly should get a DVD one of these days.
Thank you, James! Really awesome to finally hear that you don't really hate Simon's Quest. It's a fun game despite it's flaws.
[email protected]'s brought that up before. In the Castlevania restrospective I think.
I discovered you this year and what's now ?, cinemassacre.com is no more in shadow, well I support you and continue to give us greats videos like you know how !|!|! you love kick ass games, unique movies and your sense of humor is great ! Tu torche dé culs esti ! ……..from a fan of Québec tabarnak !
I didnt even finish the video to comment
James, over the years, your site became a part of my life
you introduced me to alot of great movies
I just want to say, thank you for all your videos
keep up the good work!
The AVGN videos NEVER get old, I've watched all of them…..to many times to count! Simply Awesome, keep up the good work
[email protected] thought I watched all of em… Just recently I found one I hadn't watched!
[email protected], I too have watched them all, including the secret one! I wonder if you have "unlocked" it too.
I've never seen him write anything down either.
i've seen him write a few things down, codes, passwords or the secret words from swordquest.
[email protected]_Jemima Yeah, but those came after the song.
[email protected] Fiorentino
maybe they would change that part..?
James is so modest. Not only did he create a successful character, but he spawned the entire genre of online nerd reviewing. Just look at Nostalgia Critic, Linkara, Nostalgia Chick, MarzGurl, Irate Gamer (sorry for including him I know he sucks), Pat the NES Punk and many more attempt it each day. Where would we be without James, our pioneer?
[email protected] sir…. nostalgia critic sucks… dont even include him
[email protected]@Staarscommando the critic is awesome what you talking about? I look forward to his videos just as much as james's
[email protected] youre wrong
[email protected] At first I thought that the nostalgia critic was waaaay over the top, always screaming and shit, but I gave him a chance, he is good in a weird way. I have tried to watch other reviewers…. but I guess some people have charm and others don't
[email protected] Agreed. The NC is annoying, but almost always watchable. I really don't like Linkara, I am not into comics and I disagree with him too often, though his videos are well made.
[email protected]
James is review King and this Video reminds me, that AVGN isn't really his most favourite creation.
I have to say, that though Cinemassacre brought me to my daily habits of watching internet reviewers, I really don't like their old self-made home videos. Building these sets and inventing things like on-screen text, before we all had computers, reminded me (perhaps too much) of my own youth.
Yeah, I might be a little jelous there…

Pat is a bit too over the top goofy a lot of the time but one thing I damned sure make sure I do each year is watch all 24 hours of his NES marathon. Hopefully James does something similar one day in the future for charity starring him and Mike.
cool stuff
Charlie Parker! 6:52
No one comes close to you Mr. Rolfe. You are, without a doubt, the best, funniest, and most creative film maker of the 21st century, the AVGN movie is goig to blow the top off any roof, and all I can hope, is that I dont pass before seeing it.
Your awesome, your crew (this means you mike) and everyone on board should be more than stoked, watching and developing anything you do… i tip my hat my friend

Can't wait for the AVGN movie and the ET review, I'm sure it will be hilarious
Where Can I Get The Cinemassacre Gold Collection? Are They On Screwattack?
You have to make the cinemassacre gold collection available !! that'd be awesome , but wasn't the cinemassacre gold collection in the dvd collection thingy?
Hey James its nice of you to post some stuff people never saw BUT people who bought your DVDs (for much money) now have no reason to buy those because that exclusive stuff gets posted.
I dont think thats OK.
@AmbossDerRabiator Do you also bitch about them showing movies for free on network TV years after thier release?
[email protected]@AmbossDerRabiator What kind of argument is that? No I agree with him. I like cinemassacre a lot and I check it everyday, but I don't like them putting up all the exclusive content from the DVDs. That was an added bonus for buying something that you could watch free, so it's a little silly to also make that content free. Either way, I like Rolfe and Mike and Cinemassacre, and I will continue to like them, and I understand it is hard for them to put out new material at the moment, but it is a little irritating.
I got to say, I'm happy I finally got a job so I can support companies and people that I actually get enjoyment out of. Can't wait till the DVD comes out!
Ahhh James, life is crazy. You may have a lot of control with your first job, but the second will be off the wall and come from somewhere unpredictable. You, however, have a bright future in film making. While in California, be sure to get as many contacts as you can, and soon enough you will start raking in the big bucks on the big screen. Just be sure to remember what really launched your popularity, and make these videos when you can.
[email protected] i just have to ask do you think he quit the AVGN just by reading the title? It really does sound like u did.
[email protected] No, of course not. I have seen the updates mentioning that he had plans for AVGN for many years to come after the movie, or at least had plenty of games to talk about, and I also know that the video that was uploaded above was made in 2006, and released as part of a DVD collection of his works at that point. It was merely advice that, in all reality, he probably already knew. I am a TCOM minor, and a very important part of the film making industry is networking, and now that he is in California, it's a great opportunity for him to expand his contact list. I was just trying to say that once he gets some steady work in the industry, whether an editor working on other people's movies, a cameraman, or a directer bringing his own creations to life, he continues the AVGN series when he can. It beats the alternative of saying "Fuck your dreams, do AVGN forever!"
Do you make money of the Screw Attack DVD sales or is that all their money?
you inspired me to make movies my self, they aren't the best movies get a lot of good feedback. I hope you read this comment and know that you helped me, and also other people. Please check out my stuff and give some tips, search (on youtube) krukerproductions.
Did i just see some get there head knock of by a bra lol!
Keep rolling James can't wait to see this movie! to bad you didn't see the porn studio i anted to know if they reek!
Keep rolling James can't wait to see this movie! to bad you didn't see the porn studio i anted to know if they reek!
BOOO!!! Why the hell did he have to release such an unnecessary, up-it's-own-ass, retrospective behind the scenes look at AVGN already? This is a video that I would expect to come from a fan of AVGN. I feel like James's compulsive need to make films, as he mentioned in this video, has resulted in the assassination of the honest, sincere and overall relatable feeling that those AVGN review videos naturally induced through the nerd character. By deconstructing every detail of character and totally trivializing and demystifying every notable aspect of the process and method, he has left no room for imagination. Now I can't go back and watch those videos and genuinely enjoy them the same way I did before. The effortless, in the moment believability that was successfully achieved initially, has been replaced by this stupid commentating voice, insistently repeating "it's only a character". I know it is, asshole but, who wants to go see a movie where the director constantly interrupts the film to make sure the audience keeps ever present in mind how contrived the effort was?
For fuck sake, the whole thing came off as some premature, lifetime achievement award acceptance speech.
You ruined my experience with this bullshit. Thanks a lot, James
@SmoothJazzFingerBlast "Oh bitch, bitch, bitch!". – Abraham Simpson
[email protected] seeing something like this has ruined ANYTHING for you then you are truly, sadly and irredeemably retarded. Seriously you aren't watching this in the middle of other videos, and…. here is a little secret…. it is ALWAYS just a character. Sorry to ruin fiction for you. Have a dumb life.
[email protected] you are stupid man
[email protected] to break it to you, man.. but Santa Claus isn't real, either. Hope I ruined gift giving.
[email protected] Why are you even here with that attitude? You sound more like a AVGN fan than a Cinemassacre fan. You should be watching and re-watching AVGN episodes on Game Trailers instead of whining about how Santa Claus doesn't exist. James made this documentary in 2006 (which some have said were during his most creative days, not me) exclusively for the DVD, so apparently you're not a big enough fan to support James' work and you prefer everything to be free and tailor made exclusively for you. Well the truth hurts doesn't it? If your feelings are hurt because your fantasy about what James Rolfe should be in your mind is now ruined… good, you deserve to have your little imagination ruined! You're like a little child going up to Michael Keaton and continually referring to him as Batman. Grow up!!!
[email protected] Look, young Nicholas, James fucked up. Period. When movies do this sort of behind the scenes thing, it is ok because that project is over. You're done immersing yourself in the performance (which includes viewing it as a temporary "proposed reality") and you can move on from the story to the mechanics of the thing. To do this in the middle of an on going series, which is made to appear as a realistic review video series, is dumb and short sighted. The fact is, this is not a movie, it's the opposite really. What it has going for it is it's low budget quality, coupled with James's bad acting, hilariously cheap effects and clumsy monologue which feels very "amateur documentary", in a good way. In the moment, you want to suspend disbelief, you want to believe he hates these games, you want to believe you are watching a socially inept, potty mouth asshole venting impotent rage about a nerdy subject in his parents basement and to quote your God (me): "(It's only a character) I know it is, asshole but, who wants to go see a movie where the director constantly interrupts the film to make sure the audience keeps ever present in mind how contrived the effort was?" and who wants the actor to break character in the middle of everything and explain the boring details of the production? I understand that you lay face down in bed every night, ass up, praying that Rolfe's cock satisfies your cock craving asshole and for me to question anything he does is tantamount to the multitude of times you felt helplessly humiliated when people confronted you about being such a dick hugging waste of life but, you know, I did it, so continue hating people for being smarter and better than you, you're the champ. The rest of you fatherless rim jobs you cried about my comment should start a therapy group to cope with your irrelevance. Nicholas is your president. Heed your lord!!!
[email protected] if you don't like his shit then why are you here? dumbass
[email protected] Troll harder buddy
[email protected] cool story, bro.
[email protected] You might have been right if we were talking about theater or something that wasn't episodic, but since each episode is self contained only a fool would think that something like this breaks the character, the simple fact that the episodes come out every few weeks could do the same thing. I love how you attempt hide from the fact that you are wrong and that everyone disagrees with you with a thin veil of pseudo-intellectualism and words you think we won't understand. Your length of post simply furthers your failure. Keep on being stupid while trying to be smart, the rest of us "rim-jobs" will continue to enjoy the video series since we actually have the capacity to enjoy them AND enjoy a little behind the scenes, sorry your couldn't do both.

The United Nations has welcomed the upcoming launch of the Truth and Dignity Commission in Tunisia, calling it a step forward in addressing past human rights violations in the North African nation.
Tunisia will launch the Commission on 9 June at a seminar in the capital, Tunis, co-organized by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the country, the UN Development Programme (UNDP), the International Centre for Transitional Justice and the Tunisian Ministry of Human Rights and Transitional Justice.
"The Commission is a very welcome step forward in addressing the human rights violations of the past, establishing the truth and providing accountability, recognition and reparations to the victims," OHCHR spokesperson Rupert Colville told reporters in Geneva.
The UN supports a range of efforts to uncover the facts about gross violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, and to promote justice, propose reparations and recommend reforms of abusive institutions.
Over the past year, the UN has supported Commissions of Inquiry on, respectively, the Central African Republic, Syria and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as well as the establishment of the Truth and Dignity Commission in Tunisia.
Monday's seminar will be addressed by President Mohamed Moncef Marzouki and a number of other high-level officials.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay will address the seminar through a video message, as will Desmond Tutu, the President of the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The heads of several other such commissions from Poland, Morocco, Peru, Guatemala and Kenya will also be there to share experiences from their countries.

Health IT Certification
Like handpicking the top candidates out of a crowd, CHISP® professionals "stand out" with employers–even when they are new to the industry.
The Certified Health Informatics Systems Professional (CHISP®) health IT certification exam and credential designates a qualified professional capable to meet the needs of hospitals and physicians as they move to adopt electronic health care systems (electronic medical records – EMRs and electronic health records – EHRs).
Professionals with the CHISP® Health IT Certification have demonstrated skills and knowledge in technology, and the health care industry, including the unique requirements formed where these two trades meet. CHISP® tells the hiring manager that a professional understands Health IT and both the health care and IT industries. CHISP® professionals have certified skills that make them more secure and marketable. They "stand out" with employers and encompass a wide range of job positions that require expertise in the highly-specialized Health IT setting.
For hiring managers, certified staff are always more likely to ensure physician approval and CHISP® allows them to avoid hiring mistakes. The Certified Health Informatics Systems Professional (CHISP®) health IT certification exam was first offered in January 2010 to the qualified public after completing more than twelve months of careful development and beta testing. It was developed with strong industry guidance significant in expertise, stature, and credibility via the ASHIM Industry Advisory Panel. Read more about the ASHIM Industry Advisory Panel.
Physicians need to be able to trust health IT professionals. Our already burdened healthcare communities don't have time or money to waste while implementing immense changes. The CHISP® health IT certification mark tells them they can relax.

Tallahassee - June 2, 2012 - 6:43pm
Bianca Anselmeti is the proud of owner of two German pointers, Scotch and Soda. She makes sure to give them plenty of love and exercise and that they're prepared to evacuate with her if a hurricane should hit.
"We have canned food for them, we have a smaller container of food for them for a few days, " said Bianca Anselmeti
Haven Cook with the Disaster Animal Relief Team in Tallahassee says owners like Anselmeti are not too common.
"The thing that always surprises me is that many people don't own a carrier or a crate," said Cook.
A crate is just one of the many items a pet owner should have in their pet evacuation kit.
Other items include food and water to last three days, a collar and a leash, immunization records, a card with your vet's information, a toy, a blanket, even a brush for comfort. Cook also says you should include a picture of you with your pet in that kit. She says this is just one more way to ensure you can prove ownership. She also says you should write down your pet's microchip number and keep it with you.
"What really opened our eyes was Hurricane Andrew, there were thousands of animals left to stray," said Cook.
Fast forward to 2005 when Hurricane Katrina slammed into the Gulf of Mexico leaving thousands more pets stranded. After Katrina, Congress passed the Pets Evacuation and Transportation Safety Act.
"We set up emergency pet shelters right there next to the Red Cross shelter," said Cook. This helps keep the family close even in the worst of storms.

RIP Etta James (1938-2012)
Etta James, a woman with a delicious, complex voice that pioneered the modern R&B sound, has passed following complications from leukemia. She was 73. James' gorgeous version of Glenn Miller's "At Last" will forever be a wedding staple, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was no sentimental pushover. Troubled beginnings, a torn-up family, and battle with heroin that she won all dotted the feel of her music, and the massive boulder's weight of her stanzas.
NPR's Ann Powers brought this cover of Prince's "Purple Rain" to light, and it's exemplary of how she could take over even the most established of tunes for her artistry.
Many, many, many contemporary artists carry on the great tradition of Etta James. You can hear it in Adele's expression, and here's a local performance of "Fool That I Am."
And aside from that Flo Rida tune from last year, Etta's rightful place in hip-hop has spread afar. My favorite sampling of her rich voice is a snippet of the undeniable take on "My Funny Valentine" in Kanye West's "Addiction."
And again, this is a woman who wasn't going to just let the hands of time push her away from her rightful place in the R&B/soul pantheon. Notably in 2009, Etta James was took umbrage with Beyonce -- who portrayed her in Cadillac Records -- getting the nod to sing "At Last" at President Obama's inauguration. James said she could still sing it better, and any true artist holds onto that knowing pride as long as they're breathing. We lost a champion for that individual, no-nonsense spirit today, and she will be missed.

According to The New York Post, the reason that Stephanie McMahon-Levesque has cashed in over $8M in her WWE stock is that she is, according to a statement WWE gave to the Post, "selling a portion of her Class B shares for personal financial purposes that include building a house."
The story also stated that she cashed in about 1/3 of her WWE B (voting) stock to buy the home.
The family still controls WWE decisions as Vince McMahon owns 87 percent of the 10-votes-per-share B class.

Well, it looks like Will Ferrel has finally arrived.
In an interview with Coming Soon, Danny McBride of the upcoming films Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder couldn't resist dropping this little bomb: Will Ferrel is making his directorial debut with an episode of "Eastbound and Down," a new HBO Show which he is also producing with Danny McBride.
"This is going to be the beginning for him. It's going to be exciting," McBride gushed. "That dude has fucking insane instincts, and he knows his shit. Will would come up with ideas in the scenes, and we'd be like, 'God that's such a great way to do that' and I fully trust that he'll be able to come in and knock it out."
Will Ferrel is set to co-direct the episode with Adam McKay, who directed Will in Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and, most recently, Stepbrothers. Other directors for the show include Jody Hill (The Foot Fist Way) and David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, among other things).
"Eastbound and Down" is a dark comedy set to shoot in the fall and premiere on HBO in June (perhaps). Apparently it will follow the example of British comedies with its small scale and Apatow/ McKay comedies with its improv-based structure, and it will undoubtedly feature many, many guest appearances from A-List comedy actors.
Hmmm. An dark comedy on HBO with an improvisational structure and numerous celebrity cameos. Sound familiar?

BabelPad is a free Unicode text editor for Windows that supports the proper rendering of most complex scripts, and allows you to assign different fonts to different scripts in order to facilitate multi-script text editing. It also provides many useful features and special utilities, as described below. BabelPad supports the most recent version of the Unicode Standard, currently Unicode 8.0 (released June 2015).
See the BabelStone forum for details of bug fixes, enhancements and new features in the latest version.
BabelPad is distributed as a single executable file (no installer). Simply download the zipped file, and then unzip the file BabelPad.exe to the desired location on your computer. A help file is available, but is currently out of date.
BabelPad is free and fully functional for personal or commercial use, but you are welcome to make a small donation via PayPal to help support its continued development if you wish ($5 or equivalent suggested).
A portable version of BabelPad is also available for free download from PortableApps.com.
The latest version of BabelPad runs on Windows 2000* or later, but an unsupported old version of BabelPad that runs on earlier versions of Windows is available here:
* BabelPad requires GDI+ (gdiplus.dll), which may not be installed on systems running Windows 2000; if this is the case you may download it directly from Microsoft (here), and copy the file gdiplus.dll to the same location that BabelPad.exe is run from.
Feature requests, bug reports and general questions or comments about BabelPad or BabelMap may be made at the BabelStone forum or directly to me by email.
BabelPad uses Microsoft's Unicode Script processor, Uniscribe (filename usp10.dll), to format and render Unicode text. The more recent a version of Uniscribe you have installed on the computer the better support you will have for complex scripts such as Indic and south-east Asian scripts, Tibetan and Mongolian. The version of Uniscribe that BabelPad is using is indicated in the About BabelPad... dialogue box.
Uniscribe is constantly being updated to support new scripts and to add new functionality to existing script support, so it is important that you have the latest possible version of Uniscribe installed on your PC. Even if you do not use complex scripts, you will only get advanced features for Latin script such as ligatures with a recent version of Uniscribe (to see this try entering <s ZWJ t> with Code2000). You may run BabelPad with a particular version of Uniscribe by simply placing a copy of the Uniscribe file (usp10.dll) in the same directory that BabelPad.exe is located.
Uniscribe comes pre-installed on Windows 2000 and later, and should also have been installed if you are running Internet Explorer Version 5 or above on other Windows operating systems (i.e. Windows 95, 98, ME). If when you attempt to run BabelPad, a dialog box entitled "Unable to Locate DLL" with the message "The dynamic link library USP10.dll could not be found in the specified path" appears, this means that Uniscribe is not installed on your PC.
Some versions of Uniscribe may have bugs that may produce unexpected rendering behaviour, or even cause BabelPad to crash. Those that I know of are outlined below :

DALLAS Slippage began to appear in the soaring Ducks' game even as their winning streak reached four games. And Friday night, a slipshod first period finished them off … and their streak.
Trevor Daley and Jamie Benn turned two penalties by the Ducks' Brad Staubitz into power-play goals and the Dallas Stars used a 20-save effort by goalie Kari Lehtonen to score a 3-1 victory at American Airlines Center.
The Ducks (7-2-1) lost for the first time since Jan. 29 at San Jose. Goalie Jonas Hiller made his first start in three games but lasted only one period as he suffered a lower-body injury and was relieved by Viktor Fasth to start the second.
Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said he believes Hiller isn't seriously hurt. What pained him more was seven minutes of penalties from Staubitz for retaliating against what they felt was a spear by Stars defenseman Stephane Robidas on Corey Perry.
Staubitz was the only one penalized for roughing during a scrum and then got a five-minute major and game misconduct later for spearing Dallas rookie Brenden Dillon. Daley and Benn each cashed in.
"It wasn't a penalty," Boudreau said. "What do you want me to say? Good refs have bad games. Like good hockey players have bad games, good refs have bad games."
Perry was fuming afterward.
"When he sticks his stick up, lifts it up and pulls it, I don't know what you'd call that," he said. "That's spearing to me. You look at Staubitz. It's kind of the same thing.
"I don't know. You've just got to call the first one and all that (stuff) doesn't happen. But they're in their own league tonight, I guess."
Boudreau didn't like his team's overall play in their 3-0 victory over Colorado on Wednesday and it only got worse for about 20 minutes before they got their act together.

Researchers hot on the trail of the fabled creature "Bigfoot" have arrived in the Upper Peninsula.
About a dozen members of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization will be in the woods of Marquette County this week, with more extensive exploration planned for the weekend.
They plan to meet with witnesses this evening near the Gitche Gumee Campground.
The members have brought with them high-tech gear like night vision goggles, thermal imaging cameras and digital audio recorders.
Search organizer Matt Moneymaker says the public can help in the search for "Sasquatch" by sharing the stories of their possible encounters.

National Museum of the U.S. Army moves forward
April 22, 2011
By Julia LeDoux, Special contributor
FORT BELVOIR, Va. - The Army Historical Foundation is progressing in its efforts to raise money to build The National Museum of the United States Army at Fort Belvoir.
The foundation has raised $55 million of the $155 million needed to build the facility.
"We are getting closer to our goal," said retired Col. Dave Fabian, foundation communications director.
The museum's centerpiece will be a major exhibition facility where the stories of Army Soldiers will be joined with thousands of artifacts, documents and images, tracing its history from Colonial times to today.
"It really is going to be a unique destination. Visitors are going to be stimulated emotionally and intellectually," Fabian said.
A series of chronological and thematic galleries will show visitors what it means to be a Soldier in times of both war and peace. Fabian said ground will be broken when $117 million is raised. That is the amount necessary to construct the museum's initial four phases.
"We have 42 or 43 accredited museums across the country. None of them are as comprehensive as this one," noted Fabian.
The museum's interactive learning center will promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM education, with hands-on, education programs for students. A distance education program is also planned.
"The Army and Society Gallery is going to take into account the scientific, cultural and economic advances that the Army has been involved in," Fabian said.
In addition, the U.S. Mint is selling three, distinct, 2011 Army Commemorative Coins: the Army $5 gold coin, silver coin and clad half-dollar. Congress authorized the coins in 2008 to celebrate the Army's history. The coins' themes are "Army Service in War," "Modern Army Service," and "Army Service in Peace."
"Sales are going pretty well," said Fabian. "The most popular coin is the silver coin."
All three coins can be ordered at usmint.gov/catalog or by calling 1-800-USA-MINT.
"They are legal tender," continued Fabian. "They really are a unique, public recognition of the Army and its Soldiers."
Both Lockheed Martin and The Veterans of Foreign Wars have also recently made substantial contributions to the museum. Lockheed Martin pledged $10 million to sponsor the Education Pavilion and the VFW donated $500,000 to support the facility's Veterans' Hall, which will host a variety of educational outreach initiatives, including presentations, demonstrations and a lecture series.
Information on how people can make an individual contribution to the museum is available from armyhistory.org.

Minister Blaney Meets With Corporate Canada - Harper Government And Corporate Canada Working To Remove Barriers For Veterans
TORONTO, Jan. 29, 2013 /CNW/ - The Honourable Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs, today participated in events organized by the True Patriot Love Foundation, and the Veterans Transition Advisory Council (VTAC), a team of corporate champions committed to removing the barriers that Veterans face during the transition to civilian employment. "We are proud to work with corporate Canada to help Veterans successfully transition from military to civilian life," said Minister Blaney. "By working together with the True Patriot Love Foundation and the Veterans Transition Advisory Council, we will help ensure that transitioning Veterans have opportunities for new and rewarding second careers."The day began with a "From Battlefield to Boardroom" conference, which saw human resources executives from corporate Canada gather to learn more about the value and experience of military Veterans. The conference was followed by the inaugural Veterans Transition Advisory Council meeting. Led by the True Patriot Love Foundation, the Veterans Transition Advisory Council includes representatives from leading national companies who will raise awareness of the skill sets Veterans have to offer to the private sector. The Council will also provide strategic recommendations to Minister Blaney and to the broader private sector to improve the transition from military to civilian employment. "The True Patriot Love Foundation is honoured to partner with the Government of Canada in delivering support to military members," said Shaun Francis, Chair of the True Patriot Love Foundation and the Veterans Transition Advisory Council. "The inaugural From Battlefield to Boardroom Conference, along with the Veterans Transition Advisory Council, will help to create an environment where our Veterans will flourish in their new civilian roles." The Veterans Transition Advisory Council's work lends itself to the new initiatives the federal government has undertaken to enhance opportunities for Veterans to transition to the civilian workforce, including the Helmets to Hardhats Canada initiative launched in January 2012. The Council's work also builds upon the Veterans Transition Action Plan, launched last fall by Minister Blaney. The plan consists of new measures for cutting red tape for Veterans, enhancements to service delivery, post-military career opportunities for Veterans, ground-breaking research on the needs of releasing Canadian Armed Forces personnel, and enhanced cultural awareness.

Renewable Energy Could Be Stored in Facilities Deep Underground
Posted By Morgana Matus On May 23, 2013 @ 12:30 pm In Environment,Green Technology,Innovation,Renewable Energy,Wind Power | No Comments

A new study by the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Bonneville Power Administration [3] finds that two underground sites in the Pacific Northwest are ideal for storing energy produced by the wind. Compressed air energy storage plants could capture the wind [4] during times when breezes are more abundant at night and demand for electricity is low for use during peak hours. Able to switch between power storage and generation in a matter of minutes, the method could be an important means to assist states reach their Renewable Portfolio Standards [5].
Compressed energy storage plants function by using electricity when power is most available to operate air compressors to move pressurized air into a geological storage area. When demand for power is high, the air is released back up to the surface where it is heated and pushed through turbines to create electricity. Many of these plants can re-generate 80% of the electricity they capture. Only two currently exist in the world, and are located in Germany and Alabama and use man-made salt caverns to hold electricity. The PNNL-BPA study looked at porous rock in the Pacific Northwest as a possible alternative to the caverns. They identified two different methods tailored to two specific sites.
The first, called Columbia Hills Site is situated north of Boardman, Oregon. This location would take advantage of a nearby natural gas pipeline to heat the air allowed back to the surface, generating twice the power of a traditional natural gas plant. The second, known as the Yakima Minerals Site in Washington, has no access to a natural gas resource, so the facility would use geothermal heat to operate a chiller that would cool the air compressors as well as reheat the stored air.
Seeing as 13 percent of the Northwest's electricity comes from wind, the new technology could be a valuable method to storing energy and making renewable more viable. Since the facilities can hold energy for long periods of time, they would be able to capture electricity supplies during the spring in the Northwest when there is more wind and hydroelectric power than the existing infrastructure can absorb. The BPA is currently working with the Northwest Power and Conservation Council to investigate the feasibility of constructing the plants.

I had the same problem, but read in a baby book that its just because when you are laying down, the uterus settles deeper in your abdomen. don't worry, it didnt last long, and as soon as you start gaining more weight you wont be able to have a flat tummy anymore--enjoy it while you can!posted 03/30/2010 by redsoxwife

Even over martinis, he seemed very different. More mellow, actually interested in me, talked lovingly about his wife. Still, he accepted my invitation to come back to my hotel room, we took off our weapons, and eventually got into a mad makout session on the couch. I kept feeling his big, hard cock through his slacks, feeling my pussy getting very wet. Memories of our affair were bombarding me. I had his shirt unbottoned and loved the feeling of those washboard abs. He was breathing heavily. At any minute, I expected him to throw me to the floor, hike up my skirt and fuck me from behind. But he didn't.
"Come over to the bed."
"Linda...no...I should go..."
"I'm not the morality police, Mike. I can feel your cock. I know what you want." I sure as hell knew what I wanted.
I took his hand and pulled him toward the bed.
He grabbed my shoulders and looked at me a long time. I could see him wrestling with himself. Then he gently sat me on the bed and pushed me down. Getting on his knees, he stoked my legs and took off my shoes. Then he pulled off my panty hose without creating a single run. I was shivering with arousal as he sucked my toes, licked the tops of my feet and ankles, then started kissing and licking up each leg. Just when I thought I would feel his tongue on my pussy, he just brushed it with his face.
"I love your scent," he said. "I never forget that."
"I want you inside me," I commanded, but it probably came out more as a begging whimper.Instead, he just kept teasing for the longest time. Then I felt his tongue lightly tracing along my vulva. I almost came right then. He could sense it and pulled back, nibbling on the inside of my thighs. When I was cooled down a little, he would lick me again. I had the beginnings of a massive orgasm, my feet burning and seeing colors through my closed eyes. And he backed off.
His tongue came back again, so lightly. I was clawing the sheets, reaching for his hands, but he kept them on my ass, holding my firmly in place. His entire face was hidden by my skirt.
Suddenly, it felt like my whole body exploded. I could hear some woman screaming. It was me. Pulses of orgasm radiated out as he just kept it going and going. When I was completely spent, he tongue-fucked me into another orgasm. Then he licked me gently for a few more minutes as I lay whimpering.
"Fuck me."
"I can't, Linda." He didn't even call me "Sue," as he used to do to irritate me.
I reached for his zipper, but he just took my hand and kissed it. Then I heard the door closed. For about an hour, I just dozed, completely satisfied. Well, not completely. But it was pretty damned sweet. His wife is lucky.


text: I upgraded to the XT Shadow from LX this winter. It has been nothing but a pain in my ass. I set it up, and it shifted great until I put a load on it. So I put an inline barrel adjuster on and that allowed me to adjust the tension. The problem is: I'll adjust it correctly, or so I think, and it will work wonderfully for about an hour or so, maybe more, then it will start to jump gears, usually to a higher gear, and make that sound that says the chain is rubbing in the cassette. I have no idea what can be causing this. Has anybody had this problem? Any solutions? Thanks

SECRETARY CLINTON: And therefore we strongly support and encourage the government of Nigeria's efforts to increase transparency, reduce corruption, provide support for democratic processes in preparation for the 2011 elections.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Al Qaida has a presence in northern Africa, in the Sahel. There's no doubt in our mind that al Qaida and like organisations that are part of the syndicate of terror would seek a foothold anywhere they could find one, and whether that is the case here or whether this is a home-grown example of fundamentalist extremism, that's up to the Nigerians to determine.

A federal proposal to limit greenhouse-gas emissions from coal-fired power plants touched off an avalanche of testimony at a Wednesday hearing in Denver.
The day-long "listening session" by the Environmental Protection Agency drew more than 300 people, according to agency officials.
It also led to competing rallies in the city.
"This is a battle for America's energy security," Stuart Sanderson, president of the Colorado Mining Association, told a rally of more than 100 on the steps of the state Capitol.
The EPA proposed standards to limit carbon-dioxide emissions for new coal-fired power plants in September.
Carbon dioxide is a key man-made greenhouse gas linked to climate change in scientific studies.
The EPA is soliciting comment at 11 listening sessions around the country on the idea of some limit on carbon from operating plants.
"This is preliminary to something being drafted next year," said EPA spokesman Richard Mylott.
Still, the session brought out strong feelings from supporters and opponents of certain carbon rules.
"Don't create rules that are unattainable," said Richard Oates Jr., a vice president of Wyoming Machine Co.
Oates voiced concern that carbon capture isn't "economically feasible" or "technologically achievable."
Justin Wilson, executive director of the Denver-based Western Clean Energy Campaign, urged the EPA to adopt "aggressive yet achievable" rules.
"This is not a new issue," Wilson said. "It has been raised for decades."
The morning session was dominated by testimony from Wyoming businessmen and miners, arguing that regulations would cost jobs and raise electricity prices.
"This is unsustainable and just plan crazy," said Mike Durand, a miner from Gillette, Wyo.
Graham McCahan, attorney with the Environmental Defense Fund, an environmental group, countered that there was a price for not acting.
"Communities are already paying for the impact of climate change — in things such as wildfires, crop failures and Hurricane Sandy," McCahan said.
At a pro-regulation rally at the Tattered Cover Bookstore on the 16th Street Mall in Denver, Boulder County Commissioner Elise Jones told a crowd of 60 that the massive flood that hit the Front Range in mid-September was a sign of climate change.
"If we are having biblical floods, we ought to get religion," Jones said. "We have to stop putting our weather on steroids."

Halle Berry Opens Up About Her Pregnancy: "This Has Been the Biggest Surprise of My Life!"Shana Aborn
Now that the secret is finally out – yep, she's having a baby! – Halle Berry is speaking out for the first time about expecting her second child (and her first with fiance Olivier Martinez).
At 46, the Oscar-winning actress is at an age when infertility is more often than not a barrier to a woman's hopes for a baby. Knowing this, she was amazed to find that she was expecting. "This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth," she tells CNN.
"I thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."
What's also a surprise (for now): the baby's gender. Despite reports that she's expecting a boy, Halle says that they haven't found out for sure.
The mom-to-be, who reports feeling "wonderful," isn't planning to slow down her schedule. In fact, she has just taken on a new project, joining with designer Michael Kors to participate in Watch Hunger Stop, a United Nations-sponsored effort to feed needy children worldwide.
She plans to join Kors traveling to nations such as Africa and Syria where meals will be delivered. "I hope we go when I'm pregnant, so I can talk about prenatal care," she adds.
It's inspiring of her to want to help other children while she's nurturing new life herself. But we're sure she'll follow doctors' orders when it comes to her health, too.

10 Bank Acquisition Targets
TheStreet) - Using market and regulatory data provided by SNL Financial, TheStreet has developed a list of ten actively traded bank and thrift holding companies that are cheaply priced and face earnings weakness through 2011, which could facilitate decisions to merge with larger competing institutions. With so many bank stocks trading below book value and smaller players facing continued weakness in the economy and other earnings challenges from new regulations limiting overdraft fees and a coming torrent of new rules based on the banking reform legislation passed in July, it's only a matter of time before bank M&A heats up.Here are the criteria we used to develop our list of likely targets that are actively-traded:NEW YORK (
Closing price below tangible book value as of Aug. 27.
Total risk-based capital ratio above 10%.
Nonperforming assets (NPA) below 6% of total assets.
Consensus full-year 2011 net loss per share estimate among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters.
Three-month average daily trading volume of at least 50 thousand shares, according to data prepared by SunGard and provided by SNL Financial.
Despite reports that "the bargains are over" for failed banks, the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation's gravy train continues: Most buyers of failed institutions are still getting 80% loss-sharing deals from the agency, and most premiums paid for acquired deposits are relatively small.
With this set of criteria, we have excluded the banks that are likely to fail, since potential buyers would save themselves a lot of risk by waiting for failure and bidding on a government-assisted acquisition.
We have also excluded holding companies that expected to post positive earnings per common share for 2010 or 2011. While there are certainly many attractive merger candidates among profitable holding companies, boards of directors of companies expected to post negative earnings per share for 2011 might face extra pressure from shareholders to sell, as patience runs out. This approach excludes companies like
BOFI Holding
(BOFI), which has remained profitable through the crisis, and has traded around book value for years.
We also chose not to exclude companies owing the government for bailout funds received via the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP. While having preferred shares held by the government is considered by some to be a barrier for merger deals,
Toronto-Dominion Bank
(TD) agreed in May to acquire
The South Financial Group
(TSFG), with the Treasury agreeing to a big haircut on TD's redemption of TSFG's TARP preferred upon completion of the deal. Although it's not really a target since the company has a pending merger agreement in place, we've kept TSFG in our group of ten, since the deal hasn't been completed.
The following are the ten holding companies that met our criteria sorted by total assets, with the smallest companies listed first.

Over 50 years of experience! I have taught all levels, all ethnic backgrounds, all intellectual capabilities and physical capacities. I pioneered in individualized instruction, team teaching, group processing, networking, Glasser, Gestalt and General attempts at improving teaching techniques. I am available for individual questions or problem solving. Sometimes you just can't seem to find the right answer for a particular student, let me help you brain storm. Give me the particulars of your problem or desired outcome, and I will furninsh you with ideas and resources to help you reach a desired outcome. I have a M.A. in Educational Psychology from the University of California in Riverside, under the direction of the eminent Dr. Harry Singer. I specialize in Reading Instruction with a minor in Special Education. I have continuing credits and experience in Administration, Testing, Resource Teaching, ESL and Continuing Education.
I am an eclectic and pragmatic teacher. I take from everyone and everywhere and adapt it to my personality and teaching style. I believe than anyone can learn, giving them respect as an individual and for the progess they have made. It's not how well I teach, but how much I can help my students learn. I also believe that anyone can teach; we learn something from everyone we are exposed to and become a better person from all our acquaintences , whether they be good or bad experiences. I don't know everything, but I do know how to find anything!
None worth mentioning since it was my students that 'shined' and learned. They deserve the credit for trying and progressing.
From humble beginings in parochial schools to the world of hard knocks. A mediocore student to a avid learner. I completed my undergraduate work and my B of E after interrupting it with three years in Military Service. I taught for a time and came to the realization that I was a lousy teacher. From the Institute for Teachers of the Disadvantaged (that's what they called the underprivileged inner city shcools in the 60's) led by Dick Larsen and Marty Haberman, University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, I learned how biased and prejudiced I was. From "Teaching As A Subversive Activity" to a Master's Degree in Educational Pshycology, I finally became a Special Educator. In California I pursued a career as an Educator of Special Needs Students: any age, any level, any persausion. From physically disabled children to incarcerated adults, from mentally challenged to gifted individuals, from emotionally disturbed to hospitalized inmates, from babies to adults, from immigrants to college students. I enjoyed the opportunity to help individuals learn and prosper. When my patience wore out, I retired to my horses and reading. I continue to this day studying teaching methods, exploring new techniques and learning from my students.
