"Great week!"
The location of this home was great. The beach was very clean and quiet. Some of the comments mentioned the public parking next to the property. we never even noticed it was there. The upstairs of the home was great. plenty of windows and open space. If I had to pick a negative it would be the beds were uncomfortable. But, we weren't there for the beds! I would recommend!

"Great Location!"
This on-the-beach location proved to be invaluable for my daughter and her six-month old son and 5 yr. old daughter. The views were also extraordinary as we could see a great portion of the length and breadth of the beach from the upper deck. The sleeping accommodations were also just right for the size of our family!

"Wonderful, simply wonderful"
This was a perfect vacation experience. The reservation process was easy, the staff were very helpful and a pleasure to work with and the house was the best. The location was perfect, it had plenty of space, a great deck and everything worked as advertised. Check-in and check-out was a breeze and our deposit was refunded on time. I could not ask for a better vacation experience.

"Beautiful ocean view"
The home is beautiful and located right on the ocean. You can walk down the stairs and right onto the beach. We had a family of 10, (2 kids, 2 teenagers, 6 adults) and there was plenty of room for all of us. We were looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation and we found it. I only wish there were more of a variety of restaurants close by. The few we found were 20 to 30 minutes away and quite expensive. We will definatley be visiting here again.

"best week ever!"
We enjoyed our recent stay at 2928 Island Drive. What great views, and a beautiful beach. We found the house to be very nice with only a few things that I would have liked to have changed. We arrived on late Saturday evening and found no lights working under the house where we parked, and missing light bulbs in the lamps upstairs. The tv had been set up by someone so nothing worked till Monday. There had apparently been a party there recently, I picked up 2 trashcans full of beer cans on Sunday morning from all around the outside of the house, and there was the largest pile of broken beach chairs under the house i have ever seen, none of which would either open up or had a complete seat or back or legs. I also cleaned the concrete parking pad off to remove the sand so we did not track it into the house everytime we got in or out of our cars. The only other thing that was a little crazy, the kitchen looked like a blind person had put away the dishes pots and utensels. Being a real neat nut, i did reorganize the cabinets, made life real easy when i finished. Unfortunately, it looked like most of the cookware had been abused. But, we really had a great week, very comfortable, we found the realty people to be very helpful in getting the tv's working and lights on. We hope we left the house in better shape than when we arrived and would love to stay there again. Our Whole family really enjoyed the house and its' surroundings.

Dear Dennis,
Thanks so much for your kind review of this lovely home and Treasure Realty. I am pleased to hear you that you all had "the best week ever!" :-) I apologize about the lights and the trash in the yard; our inspector should have caught those things and the TV. It looks like our technician was able to get the TV working and the lamps taken care of for you on Monday. I apologize for the inconvenience. Had you informed us about the trash, we would have been glad to send someone to take care of that for you as well. We will share your feedback about the cookware with the owners. Sometimes things can get a little disorderly in the kitchens toward the end of the season. Again, we are always happy to address those things while you are here, so please don't hesitate to let us know when you need something during your stay. Thanks again for your patience and patronage. Please give us a call whenever you're ready to come back to Topsail: 800-762-3961. We look forward to seeing you again!

"Our goal was a relaxing vacation and this was accomplished"
This house could be a terrific vacation place with a fresh coat of paint and a lot of TLC. We were looking for a relaxing time at the beach and we overlooked anything that deterred accomplishing this goal. We did call maintenance our first day to provide missing blinds, fix a bathroom window that wouldn't close and replace a missing light in the bathroom. The next day response was great, but when we called about a roach problem a few days later, nobody responded.
One thing I was concerned about was the public beach next door. Fri-Sun was crowded with people, some sitting in front of our house. Mid week was better.
Screens on doors would also be a nice addition as we got many flies in the house. Need more lamps that work, new pots and sharp knifes.
Pros: Great views, beautiful beach, beach chairs provided, comfortable beds, great hot showers
Cons: Needs to be painted...walls, kitchen cabinets, consider replacing carpets with more beach friendly flooring, public beach access next door, not enough outdoor furniture, huge roaches, inconsistent maintenance response
Overall this is a nice beach rental. Just give the house the attention and updating it needs.
The beds were comfortable and the showers were hot and strong.
Please do not excuse my comments by saying it is at the end of the season. I have rented in many vacation houses in many locations. A house should always be in good repair. If roaches are a problem, then traps should be kept in the property at all times.
Response from the , Treasure Realty - 09/06/2012
Dear Bumasan,
Thanks for your candid review. I am glad to hear that you had a relaxing vacation. I do apologize for the inconveniences you experienced. Our files indicate that we were able to take care of most of them for you pretty quickly while you were here.
With regard to the "roaches," these were likely the palmetto bugs that live in the dunes on Topsail. Most of the homes on the island are treated regularly to keep out these little natives, but on occasion, an extra treatment is required, apart from any kind of "traps," which don't usually stop these particular critters. Our records show that we sent an exterminator out to the property, but I am not sure if you guys were there when she came by or exactly what happened. I wish you had called us back to follow up about that. Had you had informed us of your need for additional lamps/bulbs, pots, and sharp knives or a knife sharpener, etc., we would have been glad to take care of those items for you as well.
I hear you and I agree with you about the upkeep of the home—that it "should always be in good repair." Unfortunately, when you rent at the end of a busy season after weeks of back to back renters, you will see some wear and tear that it is just impossible for us to adequately address in the five hour window we have on Saturdays between renters. I'm sorry if this answer seems like a put off, but I am sure you agree that painting and cleaning/replacing carpets are not jobs that can be done adequately in such a short time frame. Our only other option is to try to do these things with renters present, which would be a huge inconvenience for them. I hope that is helpful. Thanks for your understanding and for your patronage. It is our pleasure to serve you.
We sincerely appreciate your feedback, and we will definitely pass your suggestions on to the owners. Please give our office a call if we can assist you further: 800-762-3961.
Thanks again,
"Near Disaster"
Our extended family has been vacationing on Topsail Island for several years. We have usually stayed on the south end of town. We first rented Momma's Place and moved to Blue when more Grandkids required more room. The last time we rented Blue, its management had changed to Treasure Realty. We have rented in the names of Wilson or Dorn.
This year, a move prevented us from vacationing during the last week in June. We rented late and wound up at Royal Flush (2928 Island Drive). Only a good-natured and resourceful family prevented this trip from being a disaster.
Shortly after arriving, we called the "emergency" number to report that the cook top was disassembled and a can light on the stairwell was hanging by its wire. The return call came Monday morning. By then, we had gotten two of the burners working, the can light had not fallen any further and we decided we did not want to schedule maintenance.
Here is a list of some of the other deficiencies:
Two pickets from the deck rail were lying on top of the rail. We moved the picnic table in front of the hole to block a two-year old toddler and a seven-month old crawler.
Shower handle missing in bunk room bath.
Vertical blinds in lower bedrooms so tangled it was difficult to exit through the doors.
We tried to vacuum and found dead outlets.
Lots of burned out light bulbs.
Dishwasher bottom rack lacks wheels.
Lots of rusted, broken furniture outside on all levels.
Several stock kitchen items missing (cooking sheets).
Summary: This place is a disgrace.

Hi Julian,
Thanks for your review. I am so sorry to hear that you all did not enjoy your stay. Our records indicate that you did call our office on the first day of your stay at 7:20pm to report that burners were not replaced properly after cleaning. Unfortunately, most vendors will not come out to replace burners after hours. I am glad that you were able to get two of them working later on. I do apologize for the inconvenience, and I wish that you had allowed us to come out and fully rectify this problem for you during your stay. We would have gladly sent someone out to take care of all of the additional items for you had you let us know about them while you were here. I understand that it is an inconvenience to have maintenance come to the home while you are here, and you certainly reserve the right to refuse service. However, sometimes problems do arise, and we have excellent vendors who could have taken care of all of these issues without too much inconvenience to you.
Thanks for your feedback. I will share your comments with the owner and with our maintenance department. Although we have had no complaints subsequent to your stay, we do appreciate you letting us know about these things.
Thank you,
"Another trip to paradise."
We have been vacationing on Topsail for the last seven years. This is the first time renting with Treasure Realty. I found the check-in/check-out process to be very efficient. The house was comfortable and easy to find. The beach gets a little crowded in front of the house due to the public parking lot next door. We were very pleased to find that each bedroom has its own bathroom.

"Great getaway!!"
This is a nice house in a good location in North Topsail. I was initially worried about the public parking next door but it wasn't a problem and the trash can there proved to be handy after walking my dog :) !! The layout is comfortable, a bathroom in each bedroom would make it convenient for families, i am sure, although it was just me (and my parents for a few days). The owner is very responsive and Treasure Island was also very responsive when i needed help trying to figure out how to hook up my laptop to the TV. Highly recommend this house!!

Hey Emma's dad.....Thanks for your review. This is usually such a pleasant property and has a really good satisfaction level from previous guests. I am sorry you had a couple real issues. Usually a quick call to Treasure Realty will see most minor issues resolved within just a few hours after check in. I wish we could have had that chance. No worries! Thanks for coming to our lovely beach and this popular home. I hope we will get a chance to make it up to you sometime in the future. Bill. 888.223.8180
"Kid Friendly and Clean"
The owner was amazing at every turn, the check in was wonderful at Treasure Realty. However, the house was older than I expected (from the pics) and their was not a useable grill even though we were told there was. Had a great time as a family and that was the only goal for the week. Very kid friendly except for the stairwell...Make sure if you have small children you take a gate to block the stairs. Clean bathrooms as they seem to be have been redone recently. Tv's in the bedrooms were very small and one did not work but the one in the living room was just fine.

Hi Mimi,
Thanks for your kind and candid review of this charming property. I am pleased to hear that your family had a great time. I am sorry for the confusion with the grill; please be advised that Treasure Realty no longer advertizes, inventories, nor maintains grills. We have found that the best way to ensure that our guests have a clean grill that is ready to use it to help them rent one. We can help rent baby gates too. ;-) Just let us know what you need when you book your next visit to Topsail: 800-762-3961. Thanks for your patronage. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Magnificent location, beautiful oceanfront beach. House needs a lot of TLC and upgrading...outside chairs broken, dining room chairs broken, small appliances need to be replaced, lamps broken, needs paint and kitchen needs a facelift. Many stairs. Not our favorite house, but how bad can oceanfront be?

"Everything was perfect."
The location of this house is amazing. We were steps from the beach, and just steps out of the back to the inland waterway. This meant that we could put our kayak in easily. The house is a great size, and the kitchen, dining room, and living room areas are wonderful. There were views from every window!!

EU Awards Pounds 128m to Food Safety Research
THE European Commission is to award EUR192 million (pounds 126 million) for food quality and safety research in the second year of the EU's Sixth Framework Programme for Research.
These funds will go to 31 research projects and networks of excellence and 13 smaller support actions, which will tackle a range of consumer-driven issues with an impact on the 'fork-to-farm' approach.
The short-listed projects will tackle issues such as traceability, contaminants in food, emerging pathogens, diseases affecting animals and crops, food allergy, obesity and various aspects of nutrition.
The consortia behind these projects will now negotiate funding contracts for the next three to five years with the Commission.
This will bring to EUR402 million (pounds 263 million) the EU contribution to research in this sector over the first two years (2003 and 2004) of the Sixth Framework programme.
Pursuing its effort in this field, the Commission is about to publish the next call for proposals with research priorities and an indicative budget of EUR360 million (pounds 236 million) for the next two years. …

Nice pictures and tips, we passed through here and spent a short time here the beginning of this month. Must say the River Dee looked pretty fierce. Greetings from Budapest
Nice page! It's never too late to learn something new about the country you live in. Thanks for Castell Dinas Bran! That carol service in the Abbey sounds lovely.
It's so pretty! I have never been to wales but would like to one day. Something very special about a river in that kind of countryside too tho' I think I'd give the Kayaking a miss too!
My theory on Wales (never having been there), is that the more Ls there are in a place's name, the better. I must go and test my theory -- and ride that railway. (Closest I've been was Bristol, and I once saw the Welsh National Opera in Birmingham.)
Great little page on a great little town. :-))
Bore da, Maria! Oh, yes, Welsh isn't easy at all!
Thanks for looking at my Mull page. There's nothing like a river in full spate, looks wild and treacherous.
Looks like a beautiful place to visit :)
That carol concert sounds awesome - especially in such a setting! Must have sounded lovely to hear Silent Night sung in Welsh! We would love to have you here for our Gluehwein meeting next year! You know it is a tradition!! Merry Christmas!
Very nice page, I would love to visit Wales one day, the birthplace of my cutie :)

Wouldn't it be nice to know with a high degree of certainty if the presidential candidates are lying during a debate? Why not hook Obama and McCain up to lie-detector machines!
I recently read an article where there was such a proposal for Congressional candidates in Indiana. That got me thinking. Wouldn't that be a great idea for a presidential debate? I sure bet people would watch.
A polygraph debate could mean we just might get to the bottom of what the candidates think about the issues and what they REALLY want to do.
Now I'm not saying either candidate is lying to us But a polygraph debate just might be an eye-opening experience for all of us. Under the right conditions, polygraph tests are said to be 85 to 95-percent accurate. Compare that to the truth you think you're getting now.
Will we ever see such a polygraph debate? I really doubt it...unless it's a skit on Saturday Night Live!

Step 4: Time to Make the Armor...
Finally! The hard work is over and it's time to make our uber armor set! The first step in this process will be to make a crafting armor set. To do this, you'll need gather the ingredients necessary to make fortify echantment potions, a couple unenchanted helms, gloves, amulets, rings, about 10 filled Grand Soul Gems and any enchanted apparel with fortify smithing and alchemy. The type of apparel doesn't matter so long as you like the look, but quality has no bearing on the enchantment strength. I personally chose steel plate armor as I thought it looked cool for an armor set I'd never wear in battle. If you're having trouble finding rings and amulets without enchantments you can either continuously restock Belethor and look for them or travel via carriage at the Whiterun stables to Riften. Inside Riften is a merchant named Madesi that sells nothing but unenchanted jewelry. The filled grand soul gems can be bought from Farengar in Dragonsreach. The ingredients for fortify enchantment potions can be found in Arcadia's cauldron and are the following:
Blue Butterfly Wing, Hagraven Claw, Snowberries, Spriggan Sap
Once you have all the items above, head over to Dragonsreach. Once you're here, create a couple fortify enchanting potions. If the potions give +32% to enchanting you've hit the cap. I can't remember if it does right off the bat or not as I didn't know there was a cap until I couldn't get past it. I initially thought I could make +enchanting potions to make +alchemy gear back and forth for infinity but I was wrong. If the potion doesn't give +32% we'll need to make an interim set of +alchemy armor. Head on over to the enchanter and disenchant your fortify alchemy and smithing items. Back out, drink the fortify enchanting potion and begin making a plus alchemy armor using one helm, glove, ring, amulet and grand soul gems.
The cap for +% to alchemy and smithing is 29% per item
. Know that your time in the enchanter counts on the potion and you only have 30 seconds. This is usually only enough time to enchant two items before the effect wears off. If it does wear off drink another potion and go back to enchanting.
With your new set of +alchemy gear on (helm, gloves, ring & amulet) head back over to the alchemy table and make several + enchanting potions that give +32% to enchanting. Now head back over to the crafting table and make the following "ultimate crafting" set (be sure you have the extra effect perk from enchanting and drink the potion before enchanting):
Helm - +29% Alchemy
Gloves - +29% Alchemy/+29% Smithing
Armor - +29% Smithing
Ring - +29% Smithing/+29% Alchemy
Amulet - +29% Smithing/+29% Alchemy
Put on your new crafting set and head out into Whiterun. Once outside go to Adrianne, Ulfberth, Belethor and Eorlund Gray-Mane and buy all the leather straps and ingots you can. The type of ingot here varies depending on if you chose light armor of heavy armor. If you chose heavy armor you'll want ebony ingots if you chose light you'll want to make a glass armor set for now using malachite and refined moonstone. The light armor set that's best is dragon scale but that requires the dragon bones and scales you get from dragons. Since you haven't killed any yet, this glass set will hold you over until you do. On the heavy side, hopefully you took my advice and bought a lot of daedra hearts from Arcadia during the alchemy boosting process. A daedra heart is required for every daedric piece you smith.
Once you have all the necessary ingredients to make the armor and weapons of your choice, head on over to Arcadia's Cauldron. Here you're going to want to make a couple Fortify Smithing potions. The ingredients required for this potion are two of the following:
Blisterwort, Glowing Mushroom, Sabre Cat Tooth, Spriggan Sap
If you make this potions with your crafting set on you should end up with a +130% to improving weapons and armor effect per potion. With a couple of this potion type in hand head on over to Warmaiden's and make your set of armor. Do not take the fortify smithing potion while forging the armor. It's for improving the armor and weapons only. Once the armor and weapons are forged, head over to the workbench. Be sure at this time you have enough of the required ingot for each piece of your armor and weapons. If you do, take a fortify smithing potion and upgrade all the armor pieces. After this head on over to the grindstone and upgrade your weapons. All of your armor and weapons should now have (Legendary) next to them once this process is complete.
Voila! You now have the highest/best possible armor in the game. I went heavy with my smithing and with a heavy armor skill of 26 with two perks into Juggernaut, my armor rating with daedric armor is a staggering 582. As was said before though, the armor rating cap is about 567. This means that any number above that will not block anymore damage than the 567 rating (about 80% damage reduction). Keep this in mind so you don't waste perks to increase +armor %.
At this point it's up to you to add any enchantments you want to your "ultimate" armor set. Just be sure to drink your +32% enchanting potion before you add any enchantments to your ultimate set. For those that went light armor smithing, I wouldn't spend too much into your glass set (unless you prefer its look). Instead advance the story until dragons begin appearing and make an ultimate dragonscale set for yourself once you get the needed ingredients. Also, remember all those lockpicks you bought? Well they really have nothing to do with armor, but now when you go out questing you shouldn't have to ever worry about breaking lockpicks. I personally had over 400 lockpicks after completing those whole process.
I hope this guide was useful to at least one person. If so then I'm happy with the effort I put into this. I'll be as punctual as I can with any questions you may have. I'll also be sure to add any improvements or changes you all think would make the guide better. Thanks for reading!

Okay, with higher end bikes, are the rims or tires any better at handling rolling up onto curbs or over other obstacles without getting damaged?
One of the LBS staff told me that the best way to go up a curb is to simply ride into it and let the bike go up. I would have thought that it would be better to give it some lift than to just ride into it. I do keep my tires at a fairly high pressure (6-70 psi) for road cycling so wonder if he was thinking of doing this when the tires are not as hard ?
Either way, I would think it could bend the rims if you did it wrong.

The G-minor Fuga
In the fugue … [Bach] stands quite alone, and so alone that
far and wide around him, all is, as it were, desert and void.
Never has a fugue been made by any composer which could
be compared with one of his. He who is not acquainted
with Bach's fugues cannot even form an idea of what a true
fugue is and ought to be.
On Johann Sebastian Bach's Life, Genius, and Works,
by Johann Nicolaus Forkel (1802), trans. possibly by
Augustus Frederic Christopher Kollmann (1820)
Bach's era accorded fugue a highly honored position among compositional genres. Around the time Bach composed his solo-violin works, Johann Joseph Fux, a peasant's son who had become Capellmeister in the imperial capital of Vienna, was preparing a lavish edition of his Gradus ad Parnassum (Steps to Parnassus), the most long-lived composition text in the entire history of Western music.1 We commonly respect Gradus for its masterly treatment of species counterpoint, but it is fugue that occupies the highest step to which Fux leads his student. In the very same decade, Jean-Philippe Rameau published in Paris his Traité de l'harmonie (Treatise on Harmony), launching the modern study of harmony. To demonstrate his new harmonic system, the sole composition of which Rameau includes an analysis is one of his own vocal fugues.2
And in Cöthen, Bach at age 37 took pride in a major achievement: the first volume of the Well-Tempered Clavier. His ceremonial title page proudly surpasses that of a respected musician who held the prestigious musical post that Bach shortly assumed: Johann Kuhnau (1660–1722), cantor of the Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) in Leipzig. In the 1680s and 1690s, Kuhnau had published two sets of partitas in the major and minor keys. The title page of his first volume reads:3

I may not be entirely right. But considering there isn't a program that can do this for you, you'd have to find the HEX/ASM routines (whichever it be) that contain the information for this, and then you'd probably just have to change the item offsets for them to which ones you want. But unless the pick up ability is a major factor in your hack, I wouldn't really worry to much about it as it's not something people look into when playing a rom hack.

Next generation pastors, those under age 40, are leading their churches full-force into multisite ministry, community service, global impact and church planting. Their churches may look different from those of the past but they look to previous generations and each other for guidance. They are less interested in dominating the stage and more likely to share weekend teaching with a team. These young leaders downplay buildings and money, but acknowledge their importance to advance their rapidly growing ministries. Next generation pastors may be moving full steam ahead but they take the time to balance their professional and private lives as well as reaching out to other churches and organizations to increase their impact.

Eyewitnesses Get It Wrong: An Argument for Data-Driven Decision Making
A nighttime murder took place in 1991 in Linwood, California. Half a dozen teenaged eyewitnesses picked a man out of a lineup and he was eventually convicted. No gun was ever found, no vehicle was identified, and no person was ever charged with driving the vehicle.
For two decades, the convicted man – Francisco Carrillo – maintained his innocence. Eventually, forensic psychologist Scott Fraser got involved. He reconstructed the crime scene with a focus on the lighting. He convinced the judge that the eyewitnesses could not possibly have seen the shooter in the dark well enough to identify him; the witnesses' color perception would have been limited and depth of field would have been no more than 18 inches.
As a result, Carrillo's murder conviction was overturned and he was released from prison after nearly 20 years.
Scott Fraser told this story in a TEDx talk posted in September 2012, "Why Eyewitnesses Get It Wrong." Fraser described how even close-up eyewitnesses can create "memories" they could not possibly have experienced. He explained an important characteristic of human memory: the brain only records bits and pieces of an event or experience.
The different bits are stored in different parts of the brain. When we recall those bits and pieces, we have partial recall at best. From inference and speculation and observations that took place after the event, the brain fills in information that was not originally stored there. Our memories – all our memories – are reconstructed.
Reconstructed memories are a combination of an event and everything that has occurred after the event. They are reconstructed every time we think of them. As a result they can change over time. Therefore, the accuracy of a memory can't be measured by how vivid it is nor how certain we are that it is correct.
In this TEDx talk, Fraser made a couple of recommendations for the criminal justice system. As I was listening to him I thought that these apply to business decisions just as much as to the law. Fraser identified two things are really important for decision making:
- Hard data. Fraser urged us all to be cautious about the accuracy of the memories we know deep in our hearts to be true. Memories are dynamic, malleable, and volatile. When it comes to workplace decisions, these decisions are very often made based on eyewitness accounts, in essence – on the experience and persuasiveness of people. If all our memories – all our experiences – are reconstructed, our business decisions are just screaming for a more objective rationale. And that rationale is the evidence that comes from hard data.
- Analytical skills. Fraser advocates for bringing more science into the courtroom by emphasizing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in law schools. After all, it is law school graduates who become judges. The same is true for business decision making. The volume of data available for use in decision making is ballooning and analytical skills are required to make sense of it. By this I don't mean we all have to become data scientists. But we need to be able to apply logical thinking to the gathering and assessment of information. We need to be able to ask the right questions.
Which initiatives should we invest in? Where should we open a new retail store? What is the best way to retain our most profitable customers? How can we reduce inventory costs? By using analytical skills and basing decisions upon a combination of hard data and experience we are best positioned to avoid big mistakes – some of which could be as significant as sending the wrong guy to jail.

What a fantastic connection! Conyeying the importance of evidence based decision making, decisions driven by fact, data and analysis, may seem like a no-brainer to some. However, it can often be hard to get past the organisation's "memories" and "eye-witness" accounts. After all, this "knowledge" comes from the very people who have lived and breathed this organisation for years and years.
I find it is always helpful to have a "non-data" analogy up my sleeve when faced with these speed-bumps and I will certainly add this one to my set!

Fangirl Plz by Friskit-The-SmartWatch
One night, an innocent girl named Crystal ran away. She was confident at first, but soon realized that she had nothing to be confident about. She was weak, thirsty, and starving. She was soon kidnapped by a murderer and was killed brutally. Now, her spirit roams the earth, searching for the most unlucky people. You must send this to 5 people in the next hour to save your life. Hurry up!
Tim had a normal life, until he got this message. Poor Tim. If only he was smart enough to send this. He slowly went insane, and soon ran away. He suffered the same fate as Crystal. Now he is dead and alone forever.
But Lucy sent this message, she lived! She lived a great life, she grew up to have a husband and kids! We all want a good life like Lucy, don't we?
Now, go and send this message around. We don't want you dead!
especially cuz i now have a chibi Edward Elric icon...

Valve Introduces Steam Tags System - NewsBrent Galietti, posted on 13 February 2014 / 1,243 Views
Valve has added a new tagging system to its mega-popular digital game service, Steam, called Steam Tags. This feature allows users to "tag anything, your way" by creating your own tags that you feel best represent the game. This will allow users to search the Steam store for games based on popular tags, tags that Steam recommends for you, or filter by specific tags of your choosing.
Valve's goal is to help users find out more about games that may not be readily apparent on the game's Steam page. The Steam Tags FAQ tells developers that "tags can be a good indicator of when there is a mismatch between how you perceive your game, and how your game is perceived by customers. Often this is simply because there is some piece of information regarding the game that customers feel is missing from the store page."
That said, the internet has been known to abuse power bestowed upon it or take the opportunity to make a joke. The tags "Bad" and "Garbage" have been applied to many games such as Fez and seemingly every Call of Duty title, while the tag "Praise the Sun!" (named after a quote from Dark Souls) has found its way on to other unrelated games. Time will tell whether Steam Tags will become as useful as Valve hopes.

Picture: Ed Sheeran 101.9FM The Mix presents Miracle on State Street at the Chicago Theater in Chicago. Illinois, USA - 14.12.12
Ed Sheeran has been given the title of baron by the self-styled independent state of Sealand, which lies just off the coast of East Anglia.
The singer/songwriter who hails from Framlingham in Suffolk, has been bestowed with the title of Baron von Edward Sheeran of Sealand by the state's 'ruler' James Bates. The Sealand rulers/owners are hoping that the newly endowed Sheeran might make the trip to the sea and perform a concert there, but it is unknown whether Sheeran has yet committed to performing a gig.
Sealand (we'd never heard of it either), is a former defence platform, also known as Roughs Towers, and was built by the British government during the Second World War to house anti-aircraft guns to fight off a potential invasion. In 1967 the platform was declared an independent country by Roy Bates, who moved over that year to claim the unused base as his own. His grandson, James Bates, 26, who doesn't actually live there but instead resides in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, is the so-called current Prince Royal of Sealand and the one who bestowed Sheeran with his title.
Sheeran is clearly over the moon with his new title, as he took to Twitter upon hearing the news to post a status literally brimming with excitement and glee. He wrote: "So I am a baron. Awesome s**t."
So, maybe it should be Ed Sea-ran from now on then (sorry).
After battling the dating scene and finally finding love with Mark Darcy, Bridget Jones is...
In July of 2015, Ed Sheeran played his biggest gigs to date, selling out Wembley...

Made It Through the Weekend!
Pheww! Didn't think I could do it, especially when my girlfriends needed a frozen yogurt stop during a walk this weekend, but I resisted. So far that means five full days with no frozen yogurt expenses, and at this point I'm not compensating the fro-yo loss with any kind of consolation prize (like extra coffee or a candy fix), so that means almost five full days of savings, totaling about $20. I could get used to this.

Recently I've been let down way too much by the public transport so I've decided to cycle to school/work instead. I've got a single speed bike but I'm not too sure if its good for a 30 mile round trip but if I was to purchase a new bike, my maximum budget would be around £250. Which type of bike would be the best bike for this commute given my budget?
I have no idea on the benefits of different types of bikes and was hoping someone could shed some light on this.
Thanks for any help.

In north-west Western Australia, the Pilbara region encompasses over half a million square kilometers of arid country where some of the earth's oldest rock formations can be found.
Pilbara rock is estimated to have formed about 3500 million years ago. Zircon found in the Pilbara is estimated to be 4276 million years old.
With less than 50,000 people living in the small towns that centre on the mining industry, the region is mostly wild and deserted with spectacular natural features protected within its national parks.
Karijini is the largest of these parks, the second largest in Western Australia. Its banded iron, shale and dolomite lined gorges offer some of the most unique and spectacular scenery in Australia.
On the coast is the Ningaloo Marine Park protecting a 260km long coral reef that almost reaches the shore at Coral Bay permitting diving and reef exploration right off the beach.
This book features stunning landscape photographs of the Pilbara region serving not only as a fine photography coffee table book, but also an inspiring travel guide.
Ancient, diverse, unique and magical - this is The Pilbara.

When I turn the key in the ignition it will not turn over. Radio will come on. Sometimes if I push the brake pedal in and try to turn the key it will start. This does not always seem to help. After multiple trys it will finally start. Also noticed that light for seatbelt and air bag started flashing more than normal. What could be causing my issue?

The Open Office
The Fairmount Group
are offering a 12-week program to help anyone with a business idea turn that concept into reality. The Results Are Better program is designed to give prospective business owners -- or struggling owners -- the tools they need to be successful.
Megan McKenzie, a partner with The Fairmount Group, a marketing and communications firm, will lead the classes. McKenzie has 15 years of experience working with small businesses.
"When they leave they will have all the things they need to launch a business or refine it," she says. "The reason people don't succeed is they don't know the right steps to do at the right time." In addition to covering the basics, like how to create business and marketing plans, there will also be a segment dedicated to social media strategy.
The Open Office will provide the right environment to get the basics, as well as network. Participants receive free Open Office membership throughout the program. "Being able to go to one place to secure knowledge, mentoring and peer interaction is very synergistic," says McKenzie. "The Fairmount Group and The Open Office are firmly committed to making sure small businesses succeed."
Three time slots will be offered on Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning Wednesday, Jan. 9. McKenzie will also offer free counseling during her Open Office hours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesdays.
When the workshop is over, Open Office and The Fairmount Group plan to continue promoting the businesses that participated. "We will have ongoing support and additional programs," says McKenzie. "We would like to keep the groups together for at least a year."
Four people have signed up so far. McKenzie would like to see at least 10 people for each of the three sessions. McKenzie will hold an information session on Wednesday, Jan. 2 from 8-9 a.m.

The Entertainment Consumers Association is urging gamers to stand up and be counted for Net Neutrality.
In an e-mail circulated yesterday, the ECA issued a call to action:
Now is the time for you to stand up for your rights and join millions of Americans of every political persuasion in the fight for Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is the principle that ensures that gamers are free to go where they want, do what they like, and connect with whom they choose onlin. Congressmen Ed Markey (D-MA) and Anna Eshoo (D-CA) have introduced H.R. 3458, the Internet Freedom Preservation Act of 2009.
Take action now and tell Congress to make Net Neutrality the law of the land. Without Net Neutrality, your Internet Service Provider is free to: charge you extra for playing World of Warcraft, to interfere with Xbox Live, or to completely shut off your ability to access for favorite web sites. Net Neutrality effects your entire online experience…
This is our best chance yet in making sure that Net Neutrality is passed by Congress. The head of the FCC supports it, the President of the United States supports it, and we're asking you to make sure to tell Congress you support it. Take a moment to send them the message to make Net Neutrality the law.
A suggested letter to Congressional representatives is available from the ECA website.
GP: Gamers, this issue may not inflame passions in the same way that the censorship debate does, but it's just as important in the long run.
FULL DISCLOSURE DEPT: The ECA is the parent company of GamePolitics.

Barletta tours Tunkhannock, talks about accomplishments and goals
TUNKHANNOCK - Nine months into U.S. Rep. Lou Barletta's first year in office, disaster struck his district.
Mr. Barletta, R-11, Hazleton, took office in January 2011. But at the end of that summer, Hurricane Irene hit on Aug. 28, and, a week later, Tropical Storm Lee led to the worst flooding of the Susquehanna River since 1972, wreaking havoc throughout the 11th District.
His district has been completely redrawn since then, but several parts of his new one - including Tunkhannock, which Mr. Barletta toured on Wednesday - received substantial damage.
Now homeowners who struggled to rebuild face a new flood-related expense.
The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 calls for changes to the National Flood Insurance Program, including raising rates to reflect flood risks based on new maps drawn up by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"Adding more people with the new flood maps, the thought was that it would help subsidize those who had flood insurance, who were flooded multiple times," Mr. Barletta said. "However, people became trapped in their homes, because in many cases, the flood insurance has tripled."
The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2013 would delay the Biggert-Waters insurance hike until a flood map study is done. Mr. Barletta is one of the 180 bipartisan co-sponsors of the bill.
Business loan reform
In the aftermath of Irene and Lee, business owners chafed at interest rates on federal Small Building Administration loans.
"What I found was, is that if you couldn't get credit elsewhere, we could offer a loan through the federal government at 6 percent interest," Mr. Barletta said. "That was no help at all."
To draw attention to the problem, Mr. Barletta voted against the continuing resolution to fund the government.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told Mr. Barletta he would be given an opportunity to vote again. He consented, under three conditions.
"One, that I had it in writing that FEMA would have enough money to help the people back home; two, that the speaker himself would come back to my district and see what happened to the people there; and three, I want to change the way our country deals with natural disasters," Mr. Barletta said.
