Fuji X70 review
This compact camera's 16Mp APS-C sensor and traditional controls should make it a magnet for enthusiasts.
This compact camera's 16Mp APS-C sensor and traditional controls should make it a magnet for enthusiasts.
Don't forget me! Fuji's rangefinder-style mirrorless camera gets an update, and it's cheaper than the X-Pro2.
The S9900W boasts a 50x optical zoom, and the Wi-Fi equipped version enables remote shooting. But it's hardly an evolutionary leap from its predecessor.
The feel and control of the X-T1 with more appeal for novices, a slightly smaller body and a more attractive price.
Fuji's well designed and diminutive XQ2 handles very well and provides a good range of features for both enthusiasts and more casual snappers.
Super build and retro styling at an affordable price, but there's no viewfinder.
Fuji's XP80 is waterproof, freezeproof, dustproof and shockproof – but can it also offer decent image quality?
The X100T brings an improved hybrid viewfinder, high-speed electronic shutter and more
UpdatedThe X30 has the same lens, sensor and processing engine as the X20, but adds an EVF and tilting screen.

Posted on 07/13/2010 10:07:21 AM PDT by MissTed
A pair of illegal immigrants raped a 14-year-old Texas girl at July 4th party in Texas, where the teen was later found sitting naked in a bathtub, police said. The victim told police that she went to an Independence Day party with her cousin in Horseshoe Bay, Tex., about 40 miles northwest of Austin, where she was left in a room with Anibal Escobar, 19, and Anael Martinez, 22, MyFoxAustin reported. The two Honduran natives, who told police they are in the U.S. illegally, made advances at the victim and then raped her, she told police. The victims cousin discovered her in the bathtub and brought her home. Escobar and Martinez were arrested early in the morning on July 9 and face felony charges of aggravated sexual assault, MyFoxAustin reported. Local investigators contacted Texas Rangers to assist in their investigation and translate, as none of the witnesses at the party or the suspects spoke English.

Yeah, same here.
I couldn't think of anything to say that wouldn't get me banned.
Right? Right?
what do we do..these rapist are supported and defended by the President of the United States.
And yet another story about a crime committed by illegals. They all mention charges being filed—but none of them ever seem to mention the word "deport".
Sadly - the Texas GOP are a bunch of RINOs like the FL GOP. This is dusgusting but RINO scum like Perry, Crist, Jeb/Bushes plural, Kay Bailey, Cornyn, Rubio and McCollum support open borders.
From the article............Texas Rangers to assist in their investigation and translate, as none of the witnesses at the party or the suspects spoke English.
Not that it is ok to rape someone but one wonders if the victim may have also been an illegal!
I'm on the cusp of no longer giving a f-— if I sound racist or not.
Collateral damage on the "path to citizenship."
Columbian Necktie followed up with a 12 penny nailgun shot of their offending appendage to their frickin' foreheads.
We don't want these animals to be deported! Send them to prison for a long, long time. If they serve their sentences- then deport them (preferably after chemical castration).
They were only committing a rape Americans were too lazy to commit.
Obviously racial profiling.
Some recent Nafbpo information about Honduran illegal aliens.
El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 7/2/10
***********Some 500 Hondurans emigrate daily to the US
San Pedro Sula, Honduras At least 500 Hondurans leave daily for the US to seek the American dream, according to the regional human rights commission. The commissioner of the organization said that monthly, about 15,000 leave the country in search of jobs in the US. However, most of them are deported back, he added.
Some 20,000 Hondurans have left Arizona
Tegucigalpa, Honduras Some 20,000 Hondurans have left Arizona due to the threat of SB 1070. The Honduran government has sent authorities to the state to lend assistance to their people. The Hondurans are seeking refuge in neighboring states like California and Texas, although they prefer California. This is due to two things. Some Texas counties are seeking to implement laws similar to Arizonas which violate the rights of the migrants, while California is a state that is boycotting some of Arizonas commercial and economic activities in protest to the law.
El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 7/9/10
Honduran children return home
Some 1,300 Honduran children have been repatriated from Mexico after trying to cross the border en route to the American dream. The Honduran government this week entered into an agreement to protect minors who migrate to the US. Many of them travel with their parents, but others go alone or with with friends. Many are 6 and 7 years old and travel alone, according to a Honduran official who wants a program of awareness for parents.

Hondurans resume tough trip toward the US
Arriaga, Chiapas, Mexico With fear and uncertainty, a little more than 800 migrants board the train to continue their trip to the US. They have been delayed by the torrential rains in the area that have suspended operations of the rail lines. To avoid the abuses and humiliations against such migrants, their trip has been monitored by a group of agencies that includes the Salvadoran Consulate, who will observe their trip up to the state line of Oaxaca. Before leaving Chiapas, the governor ordered water, food and medicine for the stranded travelers. Central Americans trip through Mexico is fraught with dangers of kidnappings, robberies, beatings and other abuses, noted a local priest in charge of their temporary shelter. [Photo relates.]
El Heraldo (Tegucigalpa, Honduras) 7/8/10
Seventy-one Central Americans detained
Mexican officials reported yesterday (Wed.) that law enforcement personnel had detained 71 undocumented Central Americans, almost all Hondurans, who were traveling clandestinely aboard the exterior of a freight train in Acayucan, state of Veracruz. Sixty-five of the detainees are Hondurans, 3 are from Guatemala, 2 from El Salvador and 1 from Nicaragua.
>> Im on the cusp of no longer giving a f- if I sound racist or not.
I'm just a little bit on the downhill side of the cusp.
I'm fed up with what has become the TRUE racism: coddling evil scum and looking the other way at minorities gone bad, simply because of their race.
I have a daughter the same age, if any animals like that did what they did to her.... I would be the one sitting in jail.
We can put them to work eating excess sewage at a Texas water treatment facility. Their lives will finally serve some useful purpose.
These guys should be deported after spending 25 years in prison.
The feds are setting up the border states for increased violence. When the people decide that their government is not protecting them and is in fact allowing injustice, the vigilante groups are able to recruit and commit acts of violence.
The KKK would never have caught on except for the perceived injustices of reconstruction policies. I don't condone the actions of the KKK in the least. But if you don't understand history and human nature mistakes of the past are repeated.
Are you talking to the occupant of the White Hut?
There are about 350,000 illegal Hondurans in the US, by conservative estimate. There are another 66,000 Hondurans in the US who should have left, but the OB administration granted them Temporary Protected Status in May, 2010, which allows them to stay until 2012. TPS was also granted to Nicaraguans.
Give 'em a good Roman scourging followed by a salt water bath
They are also supported and defended by Governor GoodHair! May they burn in hell!
This happened a bit too close to my home for me to be objective........
And our elected officials do...nothing.
Just shoot the bastards.
Or cap the tanker hole with them.
Chemical castration??? How about the real thing. Off with their balls
Can we trade them to Russia for Anna Chapman?
See post 18...about 500 per day are leaving Honduras for the USA.
I am ex texans and angry too
And to put a cherry on top of the irony here, the Honduran government is complaining to the Mexican government about the way Honduran nationals are treated in Mexico, as they are passing through. "Tu casa es mi casa."
At least through November 2012, surely.
TEGUCIGALPA, June 25 (Xinhua) -- At least 13 people have died of dengue fever this year as 10,200 others were hit by the disease, the Honduran Health Ministry said on Friday.
The ministry earlier in the week declared a state of emergency due to the increase of dengue cases.
Health Minister Arturo Bendana said that of the total reported dengue fever cases, 476 were of the hemorrhagic type.
It doesn't really make any difference. All they will do is extent TPS for another couple of years. They have been doing it for a decade now, at least.
If I were them, I'd use the "Roman Polanski" defense. Clearly it was consensual!
This happened not far from my home.
It's not about race. It's about tolerance of illegal behavior and intolerance of justice. I don't care what color your skin is, it's wrong and indefensible.
I think he's legal...just not legally qualified for his job. He can stay. Toilets need cleaning, lawns need mowing....
They should have shackles put on 'em and be put to work (along with other illegals as they're captured) building "The Great Southern Wall."
This is HORRIBLE, but it is why my 14-year-old goes to NO party without me or my husband.
We have our share of dirtbags up on the other border too.
Both Escobar and Martinez deserve to have their nuts cut off...
If they bleed to death, good ridance, MFers...
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Not to make light of this, but...just doing the raping Amercian citizens won't do.
Haven't you heard? Crime is down - they're just doing the rapes Americans don,t want to do ...
Meanwhile, our political elites want these people to have amnesty . . . . . no questions asked.

Joy Bauer and I (Pinch me, I still don't believe this happened!)
I have no idea where to start. I returned tonight from what literally has been the trip and the experience of my entire lifetime! Where do I begin the story? I had not even imagined such a trip to be a possibility, sixteen days ago I was unaware that I would ever be going to New York City to be on a national TV show and see and do so many things I had not seen or done since 1966 (when I was there last), if then.
WOW! On this Thanksgiving Day, when I did no cooking for the first time in my married life (42 years), other than a quick supper tonight for hubby & son, I have so much to be grateful for. I took over 500 pictures in New York, and rest assured I will be sharing many of them in future blogs, but for this night, I want to concentrate on how blessed I have been this year. How blessed am I? Let me count the ways. (These are in no particular order--I just wrote them down as they occurred to me.)
1. I got a chance to substitute teach this year. I had this dream that I could be a teacher when I went to college over 40 years ago, and this year that dream finally came true.
2. I have the world's greatest husband. He has loved me through thick and thin and it was mostly THICK. But he never made me feel fat or undesirable. He is my rock, my protector, my love. I could not have had such a wonderful life without him by my side. And on this NYC trip....he was SO WONDERFUL! He let this trip be for me. Our vacations in the past were about the kids: amusement parks, ballgames (well the ballgames were for hubby too), doing things that everyone else enjoyed and that I found fun, even if maybe they were not exactly the things I would have chosen to do if I were going on vacation by myself. I wanted to be with my family and doing what they wanted WAS FUN. But this trip, hubby made sure, was all about ME! He spoiled me rotten, let me sit by the window in the airplane every time, even though he really loves flying and seeing the view, he took care of getting us all over the city (I am map-challenged), he went to a Broadway play (Annie) and the Christmas Show at Radio City Music Hall with me. These kinds of things are not exactly his cup of tea, but he told me he loved them. He window shopped on Fifth Avenue with me, even going into the American Girl Store with me twice! And he hates to shop! He let me buy silly souvenirs in Times Square, and even appeared on national TV with me, and he hated that. But wasn't he cute??? I love that guy! I thank God every day of my life that He made me smart enough to latch on to this guy and hold on tight for the last 42 years!
3. My weight loss. The whole trip was made possible by the weight loss. But the trip would not have been possible without the weight loss. What I mean by that is losing the weight allowed the Today Show to choose me for the Joy Fit Club. But I could not have made the trip at 328 lbs. I wouldn't have wanted to fly, and would have been incapable of all the walking. Just in the Today Studio, you go up and down the stairs: up to hair and make up, down to the Green Room, and back up to the stage where you do the segment. Up and down, up and down. And NYC is all up and down. So many restaurants are small, but have an upstairs, so UP the stairs you go. We walked miles and miles. We only took a cab twice, once to the pier to take a boat ride to see the Statue of Liberty and we walked up to the 9/11 memorial from Battery Park, then took the second cab back to our hotel. Even that day, we walked miles. I will be interested to see the scale in the morning. I ate quite well on vacation. I choose salads with grilled chicken several times, once I had a grilled chicken breast entree, and only splurged at one meal. After Annie, we had a late dinner (like you always read about the Broadway people doing!), and I had a shrimp scampi dinner. It was delicious and rich and much too late to eat that much. I didn't finish it, even though I could have. But I knew I would have been uncomfortably stuffed. That was my one splurge meal. I didn't buy any of the junk food from the many street vendors, other than two bananas and a bag of grapes. We did no snacking, we were too busy. So I'm hoping the scale will be good to me tomorrow morning. We shall see. I have been at goal for 19 months now, and the weight loss just continues to bring me so much JOY!
4. My children and grandchildren are simply wonderful. I have three of the greatest sons in the world. My daughters-in-law are very sweet and my grandchildren....well you know how I feel about them. Someone mentioned how many of my before pictures were with my grandchildren. I never wanted my picture taken when I was fat, and the few pictures I can find are almost always with those beloved grandchildren. One of the pictures they used for the Joy Fit Club segment was from the day Amber was born. We are on a bench (I didn't fit in the chairs that were available in the hospital room), and big brother Duncan is standing over me, looking down at Amber, who I am holding in my arms. I love that picture and I hate that picture. Duncan is so cute, looking down at his new little sister. It is a picture of true discovery and wonderment on his part and utter love on my part. I hate the picture at the same time, because I am simply huge.
Just a few months after Amber was born, I seriously started my journey to get and stay healthy. I think she may have been a main motivator. I want to be able to dance at her wedding!
5. My regained health. I feel SO GOOD! I can walk for miles as I proved in NYC. I take one diarrhetic pill for my blood pressure and honestly feel I could go off that one little pill now. I'm going to approach the doctor about that at my next check-up. Everything on me is normal now: my BP, my blood sugar, my weight. Life is so happy when you are just normal. Even my EKG's are normal now!
6. This chance I have to retire from my mundane job, where I have been under-employed and underpaid for 35 years. Retirement will give me time to pursue teaching, spending more time with grandkids and simply doing things that I want to do.
7. A local reporter wrote a wonderful story about me that appeared in our newspaper last Sunday, the day I flew to NYC. She interviewed me on the phone Friday, and a photographer came to my house on Saturday. I love this particular reporter, she writes a human interest column a couple times a week and she can make me cry and she can make me laugh with her wonderful writing style. Her Thanksgiving column in today's paper was also wonderful. In her story about me on Sunday, she got every single fact right, and pretty much said everything I had told her in our phone conversation. Only she said it in such an eloquent way. Everytime I read the article, it makes me cry. here's a link to the lovely article. I even got to mention Sparkpeople.com in the newspaper, unlike on TV!
I'm going to fix Thanksgiving dinner for my family on Sunday. I thought about simply not having a celebration this year, but then I thought about all the wonderful things that have happened to me this last year and realized I needed to take time to truly give thanks for the blessings I have. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to God and my Spark friends, and my family and to myself for giving me the willpower to make the changes I needed to make so that I could once again enjoy living.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I love this! The story in the newspaper was wonderful, too. I like the fact that you keep saying how staying thin is so, so hard... but it's a hard you prefer to being fat. So true.

You looked fantastic on tv-very relaxed even if you were maybe a bit nervous. My mom said the newspaper article was great-I'll need to look it up

It sounds like your spirit was renewed, a wonderful Thanksgiving gift.
You looked great on The Today Show! I'm delighted for you. Were you freezing on Liberty Island? We've only gone there in the summer. Then we would take the Circle Line and go up the Hudson. I'm so glad you got to see a Broadway play and got to go to Radio City, too. Isn't that great fun? Those theater seats are tiny, aren't they?
I've been very lucky in my almost 39 years of marriage, too. It truly is a blessing to have the love and support of someone who cherishes you. What a good sport he was, and he got to appear on The Today Show! I know how he feels about being on TV, yet, for you, he was. I'd say he's definitely a keeper.
You do have so many blessing to celebrate for your Thanksgiving on Sunday! Enjoy your children and your precious grandchildren and have a Happy Thanksgiving!
I forgot to tell you: you looked fabulous on Today--I loved the outfit!

I've made a couple of new friends, Joshua & Tiffany Svorinic, through my church. Josh is in the band Cloverton & they've put together a little video Christmas present for their fans. It's an adaptation of the great Leonard Cohen tune "Hallelujah," and it's absolutely beautiful. As I attempt to ratchet down my pace of life from now until Christmas, I'm finding this song helpful. Well done Cloverton – you've got some serious game. This is one of the more compelling xmas tunes I've heard in ages:

No matter the stage in personal evolution, we all seek attraction, attention, and eventually LOVE. For some connections, this is simply not possible. It can be rather frustrating not being able to have a good connection with someone over an extended period of time. Especially seeing other couples happy, frolicked and displaying public affection.

Kathy Willens, Associated Press
GREENBURGH, N.Y. — The same people insisting the Knicks gave up too much for Carmelo Anthony may have been in the crowd that was standing and chanting his name Wednesday night.
Anthony's Knicks debut was the kind of game New York might have lost a week ago. Amare Stoudemire had fouled out, forcing the Knicks to protect a four-point lead in the final minute without their leading scorer.
Before, that would have been panic time.
Now, it's Anthony's time.
And that's why the blockbuster deal with Denver was worth it for the Knicks.
"Now you've got two guys that can take over a game, and one of them took it over last night," team president Donnie Walsh said. "In the past, if Amare had fouled out, we could've won the game, but not in that fashion."
Anthony scored 27 points in New York's 114-108 victory over Milwaukee, 11 in the final quarter. His tough jumper in the lane with 26 seconds left was the biggest basket of the game, and he later added a pair of free throws for a six-point lead while "Melo! Melo!" chants boomed through Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks traded starters Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov, plus top reserve Wilson Chandler in the deal for Anthony. In the final days before the trade, there were strong objections in the media and from some Knicks fans — and reports of hesitancy from Walsh and coach Mike D'Antoni — that New York was simply giving up too much.
So Anthony appreciated Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri saying Denver "got killed" in the deal that also sent Chauncey Billups to New York.
"For Masai to say that, that meant a lot, because I've been hearing that, that New York gave up a lot just to get me and Chauncey," Anthony said. "That's people's opinions, so for Masai to step up and say that, that they took a huge hit, that meant a lot to me."
Actually, Ujiri did well with the players he got. The Knicks believe they did better.
Maybe not right away, but certainly in the playoffs, where they would have two explosive scorers with postseason experience, plus a cagey point guard who was the MVP of the NBA finals in 2004.
"We have different options now, no doubt about it," D'Antoni said.
The ex-Knicks were good players, but they were all streaky. None could be relied on consistently to carry the team without Stoudemire on the floor, forcing a heavy workload on the power forward in his first season in New York.
Yet when fouls limited him to only 34 minutes and 13 shot attempts Wednesday, the Knicks relied on Anthony and ended up winning for only the fifth time this season, and first since November, when Stoudemire scored fewer than 20 points.
And the Knicks may have to face some games without Stoudemire down the stretch. He picked up his 15th technical foul of the season Wednesday, one away from an automatic one-game suspension. He would then be suspended another game for every second technical he receives after that.
Walsh and D'Antoni have restored some credibility to a franchise that had lost most of it during the Isiah Thomas era. The Knicks have nine straight losing seasons, the worst stretch in their history, haven't been to the playoffs since 2004 and haven't won a postseason game in a decade.
Stoudemire's signing in July was a huge boost, yet in some ways was a bit of a letdown because the Knicks had spent two seasons clearing enough cap space to sign two maximum-salary players and only got one.
His superb play was enough to carry the Knicks into playoff contention, but now pairing him with Anthony, plus Billups, gives them better hope of actually winning a round.

When was the last time you laughed at a rock show?
If it's been a while I recommend marking your calendars for Nov. 20 because that's when Beatallica will be performing at the Tractor Tavern. The group will also be performing a free in-store set at Silver Platters' Queen Anne location at 2:30 p.m. that same day.
The band, which features Jaymz Lennfield, Grg Hammetson, Kliff McBurtney and Ringo Larz, masterfully fuses together the musical honey and vinegar of Metallica and the Beatles. The songs typically contain original lyrics and their titles are often hilarious. "Blackened the USSR," "I Saw Her Thrashing There" and "Leper Madonna" are some choice examples of the humor.Check out the above video for "Fuel on the Hill" for a chuckle because it is as awful as it is awesome.
Sure mashups are so 2004 and typically aren't all that enjoyable unless it's something created by Dangermouse or Z-Trip, but Betallica does it really, really well. So well in fact that they've been endorsed by Metallica. Even Lars Ulrich, the biggest douchebag in rock, enjoys their music. In 2005 Ulrich offered the assistance of Metallica's attorneys when Sony, which owns the rights to the Beatles catalog, threated to sue Beattlica for copyright infringement.Tickets for the Tractor show cost $10 advance and $13 at the door. Opening for Beattalica is Stay Tuned, another gimmick band. This time the gimmick involves performing classic TV theme songs as rock songs.

Swallowed By Life
As time weathers all things, so too did it erode my ability to work on this project. No, hold your breath, this isn't a break-up speech. Following some rough personal turmoil, I relocated to a new area, and whereas I used to work-from-home, I now have a regular office job like everyone else.
To be brutally honest, that is where most of the delays have been coming from. I have vastly expanded responsibilities at my job now that I am there in person.
Once A STALKER, Always A STALKER
There is good news, however. My divorce tried to kill this mod, and that failed. My moving across the State I live in tried to kill this mod, and that failed. And finally, my aging rig (which blew a power supply and had to have some other components replaced) tried to kill this mod, and that, too, failed.
To celebrate not being "dead", I decided I would grab a new CPU (one which I believe will be much better at handling the extensive work needed in this mod) and that would jump-start a wholly new perspective on development.
Whereas in the past I must admit that a lot of things were half-organized and mainly driven by, "when I had time", I think I want to try a new approach to the development. One that is overall more organized, more streamlined, and easier to get into (as a developer).
Since returning to an office environment, yes - I may have less time than I ever had before. But the *good* news is, I also now have a much, much, much finer appreciation for what some good organization, an encouraging word or two from all of you, and a desire to see this project make it across that hallowed finish line that eluded so many STALKER mods before this one.
The Holding Of Breath, and the Calm Before The Storm
All-in-all, you are all wonderful for sticking it out. The one thing I am constantly reminded of is that we are *all* survivors. We are all STALKERs, and we are all part of a community that loves to keep the "Zone" alive. Every one of us who still enjoys these games does so because STALKER gave us what many games today still haven't; and that's a massive experience where our very survival depended on our quick wits, our ability to survive on-the-fly, and a game that nourishes our very will to live.
What does all of this mean? It means that, "it's time to get back to the business of making one of the best Clear Sky mods out there".
Look for updates coming in the next few weeks, and this time - barring a tornado dropping on my house, a flash flood sweeping my neighborhood away, or a real-life nuclear apocalypse - I'm pretty certain we'll be able to share some of the latest and greatest from our work we've been doing.
With this in mind, I am armed with new tools, and a renewed zeal for crossing that fairy-tale finish line - I believe we will see the Zone in ways we haven't seen it before by the time I am able to make M.I.N.E. yours.
Very sincerely, with heart-felt thanks for your time and patience,
-"Doc" Blizzard
In an open letter, M.I.N.E. Lead Developer DrBlizzard discusses the future of M.I.N.E. development.
The M.I.N.E. team gives a brief update on the progress of the mod, keeping the community informed.
After a brief break to relocate hardware, the Team Lead, and his family to a new place, we are ready to begin continuing development of M.I.N.E.
M.I.N.E. development will briefly halt while the team lead takes a short break to relocate.

Is there a rough release date, like april etc, nothing concrete just so i can get excited, so i can finally play clear sky?
Unfortunately, no, we don't have a release date. Mostly due to my general inability to come through on anything, and my insolvent ability to wreck project plans and completely (and with vinegary ire) miss dates nearly on purpose.
In short, when I am able to salvage what little dignity I have, I will finally be able to close the lid on this project and release it. Sometime in 2035.
Or, perhaps, when it's done. Which could be sooner than 2035. Or later.
Really? in 20-24 years?
Well i'm happy waiting, quality takes time anyhoo.
In all seriousness, sooner rather than later. There's only a few more things I am capable of doing that I could add, and those are getting fewer and fewer.
I have things I'd LIKE to do, but would delay the mod until I learned how to do them - which doesn't seem very fair or likely.
So answer me this: If you won't give a rough release date could you at least tell us if it will be released sometime in 2012?
Newest video will have to come in pieces.
The first is up, and processing.
Part 2 of 3 will start upload in approximately 8-9 hours, when my internet usage is back down to low (mostly due to self-induced voluntary unconsciousness).
Part 3 of 3 will then be uploaded when I resume consciousness on Friday morning (01/13/11), starting around 6AM CST (GMT-6).
Don't just stand there... come in!
I just realized that I completely forgot something. What's the current status of weapon mods in M.I.N.E.? I don't mean statistic buffs and stuff like that; but attachable silencers, grenade launchers, scopes, etc. Are we able to attach these to more weapons? Like, say, attaching the low-powered NATO scope to the base SIG 550 through use of a modification, and making the sniper variant have an actual high-powered rifle scope?
And what about weapons that don't have grenade launchers, like the Viper/MP5? Can they have something other than a grenade launcher attach to the underside, like a foregrip or laser pointer? Is that even possible?
Anyways, now-emergent questions aside, looking forward to the next video.
Also, you guys have the Mosin Nagant, right? Just wouldn't be the Zone without one. Bonus points if you can either buy a version with an integral scope, mod the weapon at an engineer and then attach it yourself, or find a unique version with an integral scope as an alternative to the first option.
What self respecting STALKER mod that adds new weapons would pass on the M1891 Mosin Nagant? Not this one.
As for weapons and their attachments, I'll leave that to Separation | Anxiety to answer when he next stops by, even if I have to e-prod him over here to answer.
Oh man! Wouldn't you know it? Here I am, at work, doing my usual, and alluva sudden I feel a sharp jab in the spleen!
E-prod... what a tool we have these days.
The current M1891/30 Mosin we have doesn't support a scope, but I do recall seeing meshes that did. I can't recall exactly, but it seemed like I was getting CTDs on the model that did when we tried to remove the scope in-game; as if the mesh didn't support it.
That's something we'll definitely have to thumb through again.
On the good news, the footage was taken for the newest video. The bad news is, it ended up being around 30 minutes of intense gun battles proudly showing off Fluffy22's new NPC damage code. Bad news, because at anything less than 4kB/sec it looks wretched, and at anything above 3kB/sec it gets file sizes that exceed the limit on ModDB.
The short end of a long stick is, I have to chop the video into threes again, and I will try to encode it again (a third time, after trying various codecs and compression tactics) and hopefully post it this week.
Sorry to keep you all in stitches; it's been a while since I had to do my encoding and it took me a little bit to nail it all back down. Expect some good-looking 720p footage coming your way soon.
*Oh man, my spleen!*
It wasn't me - I'm still waiting for my e-prod to arrive. That's what happens when you shop online - waiting for delivery.
As for a scoped Mosin, I have a rather pathetic scoped version somewhere, but is better than nothing.
Wow thats some heavy temp.
Glad to see you guys are still alive(can't say the same on stalker 2 but oh well).
Really like the npc damage especially because a bandit leader shouldn't take a shotgun full on.

That sucks. A lot. And I've got great news, Tee...there will be plenty of 20 minute Shane vs Steph promos to come over the next several months! And here we are, yet again, promoting McMahon drama as the focal point of WWE television. Awesome.
I just wish if Zayn was coming back to get revenge on KO, that he would've gotten the upper hand this time instead of falling victim to another power bomb. But, you're right, they'll fight forever. I agree on giving the women an extra segment or two on RAW. There can be two storylines going on with women at the same time, one of which does not include the title. Perhaps we can eliminate some Goldust/R-Truth backstage promos?! To be honest, unless it's a smart crowd, I've noticed that Sasha sometimes gets kind of flat reactions. This is simply because those who do not watch NXT haven't been show the full scale of what Sasha can do. They really need to give her plenty of time to shine, because she can be a star in WWE and beyond. Side note, did you know that when she does that little hop swing and extends her arms, she's "pushing everyone else out of the way"? Everything makes sense now. You're right about Bayley. Crowds who don't know her will fall in love with her immediately. I don't see her coming up any time soon, though. It seems like they're building to something long-term with her kayfabe injury in NXT. I'm thinking they're going to work towards another "against all odds" thing with her. Enzo's injury kind of ruined Owens/Zayn for me, because I was hardly focused on the wrestling and more about checking Twitter for updates. I need to go back and watch it tonight. The dude may be out for a while...let's say he's out of action for a month. Would you try to push Big Cass in the meantime, or leave him off since his mic skills are mostly dependent on Enzo setting him up?
Quick Payback thoughts during my work break: "The Chicago screw job" was a cheap, lazy, eye-rolling way to end a match that was very well-contested from two talented women. Also, crowds need to start respecting the action in the ring during these matches instead of cheering for Sasha. I'm actually becoming less of a fan of hers because of these crowds. Corbin losing was stupid, stupid, stupid. He better destroy Ziggler on RAW or at Extreme Rules. Neither Ambrose nor Jericho were elevated as a result of their match, IMO. Ambrose needs a kick-start. Money in the Bank winner? Zayn and Owens was a great match, but why have Zayn attack Owens if he's not going to get the upper hand? This makes Zayn look like a sore loser AND weak. You lost clean, man. I actually like keeping the belt on The Miz. He gets great heat and it's more fun to watch Cesaro and others chase him right now. The main event was a fantastic bout. Top 5 of the year so far for me. The finish was interesting--they should've just restarted the match once. Twice was contrived and predictable. AJ's forearm through the announce table spot was amazing. And on Monday we have...Shane vs. Steph. McMahon soap opera continues...some things will never change. It was a good PPV, though. I enjoyed it overall. Thank God Enzo is okay.
Cameron Artis-Payne Arrested for Speeding
Lomez replied to Lomez's topic in Carolina PanthersNo, not everyone has a burning, insatiable desire to crack the century mark on their speedometer. I agree that he should be given another chance, but I won't shrug it off just because everyone does it, because that isn't true.
Cameron Artis-Payne Arrested for Speeding
Lomez posted a topic in Carolina PanthersWell, okay then.
The crowd lost their poo. Pretty cool moment. I would love to see Balor debut at Payback and get involved in the main event. I just can't decide how he should get involved.
Manziel, cocaine, shrooms, and a rental home
Lomez replied to cardiackat88.'s topic in Carolina PanthersThis whole thing has 30 for 30: Johnny Freefall (working title) written all over it...for release sometime around 2021.
Bray Wyatt injured at a house show in Milan.
Last night was a very good episode of RAW. Great action in the ring, new and interesting feuds getting started, and an anticipated debut finally taking place. Right now, Payback is lookingsolid as hell: Reigns vs Styles Ambrose vs Jericho New Day vs (my prediction) Vaudevillains Cesaro vs Miz Natalya vs Charlotte KO vs Zayn Bullet Club doing something, Enzo & Cass doing something Do want.
RIP Will Smith (former saints DE)
Lomez replied to arieslibra1's topic in Carolina PanthersAnd then this is particularly sad:
I didn't know who he was until Thursday, either. He was probably annoyed that I didn't recognize him immediately. After about30 seconds of casual conversation, he points out: - He's got a blue check next to his name on Twitter - Nakamura replied to his tweet earlier in the day - All the "fuging losers" around us have had tickets for months, and he was able to get front row just yesterday - My second row ticket in the same floor section he was sitting in was clearly inferior to his seat Once he was done, his buddy said to him "You feel better now?" fug that guy. He probably made a good heel, though.
Tee, do you know who Jonny Fairplay is? I met him in the beer line and he's a total douche. Great observation about Reigns. Nuclear heat for the guy and he wasn't even in town. Speaking of that, I liked his promo on Smackdown this week. It seems like they're letting him teeter on the brink of becoming a heel. There was a BIG opportunity missed when AJ talked about how he's won world titles before, and Roman smuglyshrugged it off. I wish he'd said something like: "Little League championships don't matter when you're in the Majors, son!" Of course, they have plenty of time to let it develop. There's no way that the crowd turns against AJ at this point, though. Just cut Roman loose and let him work as a heel...at the very least in this feud. It's the only way to get him over.
Sidenote: I was a little disappointed that Asuka didn't totally squash her opponent, whoever that was. She still made fairly quick work of her, but I was hoping for a longer barrage of stiff kicks.
Well, last night we just watched Shinsuke Nakamura wrestle his second match ever for WWE in front of an intimate crowd in Concord. I have a feeling that statement, while already robust, will meaneven morein the coming years. This show was loads better than TNA'sBound for Glory, save for the absence of Billy Corgan this time around. Pretty cool knowing that Baron Corbin won the co-main event at WrestleMania on Sunday, then turned around and worked in front of 3K people on Thursday. American Alpha is the real effing deal. The sky is the limit for those guys. But the star of the show was clearly Nakamura. I know that not everyone is crazy about the term "superstar," but few words would better describe him in person.
Sucks about Bayley, but I wasn't expecting to get Nakamura. That's going to be incredible.

Here's some creenshots of the 2nd minigame:
How it works:
By repeatedly clicking on the charge buttons, the respective Pikachu charges the bar in front of it. When your not clicking on it, it gradually loses it's charge. Pokemon will be coming from the left, heading directly towards the bars and Pikachu. If the particular bar isn't charged enough, then the Pokemon will get past and damage Pikachu, or if it is charged enough, then the Pokemon 'evaporates' into points so to speak.
Different Pokemon have different speeds, and require differing amounts of charge to defeat. For example, Gyarados is extremely fast but doesn't require much charge due to his double-weakness / Dragonite is medium speed, but due to his Dragon-type negating his Flying weakness, he requires a lot of charge to defeat.
Also, each Pokemon has a random chance of being catchable. To catch them for bonus points, you have to repeatedly click them - which can be difficult if you need to be charging a bar at that particular time.

Only a year after Tesla Motors and CEO Elon Musk extracted themselves from the $465-million taxpayer stimulus loan that brought critical scrutiny to the company's performance, the electric automaker has once again put itself under the spotlight that comes with taking government corporate welfare.
Today the company will announce its plans to build a battery manufacturing plant near Reno. The new gambit was the culmination of competition that pitted at least five states against one another for the "privilege" of hosting Tesla's "Gigafactory" – named so because of the amount of stored power they plan to produce. Cost to build the plant is estimated to be $5 billion, and Musk said he expected the winning bidder to cover at least 10 percent of that, according to the Associated Press. That means at least $500 million in some form of incentives or conciliations from Silver State taxpayers.
After three years and $1.4 billion in stimulus subsidies from U.S. taxpayers, you'd think the technology and performance of the all-electric Nissan Leaf would have improved rather than worsened by now.
You'd be wrong.
Whereas once the Leaf enjoyed a favorable review by Consumer Reports (despite an extremely unpleasant test experience by one of its researchers and the identification of several negative features), the magazine has yanked its recommendation. That's because of the Leaf's dismal safety performance in crash testing of small cars by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, where it received a rating of "poor," along with three other models.
NLPC has extensively documented how Tesla Motors has taken advantage of market distortions to reap revenues – including government mandates, subsidies, and taxpayer support – not the least of which have been so-called "zero emission credits" from the state of California. But much of the revenue Tesla enjoyed last year – which often meant the difference between profit and loss – was credited based upon theoretical technological capabilities and not ones actually put into practice.
CEO Elon Musk has also relied on accounting gimmicks to enhance his bottom line over the last 18 months, during which a couple of quarterly earnings reports even showed a profit – albeit under non-Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Those handsome returns were achieved in part thanks to a scheme administered under the California Air Resources Board in which additional zero emission credits are awarded to vehicle manufacturers based upon the ability for models to "fast fuel." In the case of Tesla and other electric vehicle makers, the faster a car can recharge to the point it can drive a longer distance, the more credits it receives.
Months have passed since the saga about the fate of Fisker Automotive ended, which was the stimulus-funded electric vehicle flop that always seemed on the verge of bankruptcy but had a long existence as part of the walking dead.
The inevitable finally happened in November, after Fisker's executives spent many desperate months traveling the world trying to find a buyer for the struggling company. Apparently blunders and stumbles that included fires, recalls and bad reviews for the only model Fisker ever produced – the Karma – made the business untouchable for outside investors.
Last week AAA released findings from tests it had run on three models of electric automobiles, and announced that the heavily subsidized vehicles suffer dramatic driving range loss in both cold and hot temperatures.
The news wasn't new, but apparently the broader media noticed because the pronouncement from the nation's largest consumer automotive club made it official. NLPC (beginning with a Consumer Reports experience) has reported from time to time on such problems since late 2011. The Tulsa World reported that AAA found driving distance for electric vehicles can be diminished up to 57 percent in extremely cold temperatures, and by one-third in very hot temperatures.
Last week bankrupt Fisker Automotive was sold to a Chinese company, and Tesla Motors experienced another fire in one of its Model S electric cars.
The Obama administration Green-stimulus losing streak continues. The two luxury electric automaking companies, where the Department of Energy deemed taxpayer "investments" should be placed at risk, don't inspire confidence.
Were the late Saturday Night Live cast member Gilda Radner still with us today, Tesla Motors might look to her character Emily Litella for its latest public relations campaign to address overheating and fires with its Model S charging systems.
"Never mind," the Weekend Update commentator would say.
That's was also essentially the response from Tesla on Friday when the company announced – after it had vehemently denied any culpability about overheating systems or power cords just three weeks earlier – that it would send all Model S owners new cords to replace the defective old ones. This followed a garage fire in Irvine, Calif., which local authorities blamed on either "a high resistance connection at the wall socket or the Universal Mobile Connector from the Tesla charging system." New charger connectors will be mailed in the next two weeks, according to a Bloomberg report.
Last year at this time NLPC reviewed 2012 as "The Year of Taxpayer 'Green' Waste," and that description applied to 2013 as well. But additional trends of government opaqueness and inattention to safety and security – often related to stimulus-funded programs and their corporate beneficiaries – were also revealed.
There's that uncomfortable juxtaposition of words again: "Tesla" and "fire."
This time was quite an accomplishment by the electric automaker's publicity department: they kept the Irvine, Calif. garage fire quiet for over a month. The secrecy expired on the November 15 incident when the Orange County Fire Authority attributed the incident to the EV's re-powering set-up, according to a report obtained by Reuters.
Thirteen of Fisker Automotive executives made more than six figures in the past year, despite manufacturing zero cars.
The news was first reported Wednesday afternoon on the automotive Web site Jalopnik.com, and later in the evening by the Delaware Journal. Jalopnik often gets the scoops when electric cars catch fire. For those unaware of the ugly saga, Fisker declared bankruptcy at the end of last month after squandering more than $1.4 billion in private investment and losing $139 million of taxpayers' money.


text: I'm vegetarian so I can't take fish oil for my EFAs. What I'm wondering is why flax is sold as the solution rather than algae oil? It contains no EPA but from what I understand the body will produce this from DHA via retroconversion? And considering the ALA in flax oil would have to be converted to EPA/DHA inefficiently anyway? Fish are a good source of EFAs because of the algae they eat, so why not us?

When ESPN NFL Insider Mel Kiper Jr. released his list of the top 100 NFL draft prospects last week, he ranked the top tackles in this order: Auburn's Greg Robinson (4th overall), Michigan's Taylor Lewan (5th), Texas A&M's Jake Matthews (7th), Notre Dame's Zack Martin (10th). Lewan's stock has continued to rise in recent weeks to the point that he has leapfrogged Matthews and could even go ahead of Robinson.
Can Bills secure a top OT via draft?
