ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- From stress to diabetes, even back surgery. Many things can cause erectile dysfunction and there are many ways to treat it, but men, if you don't want to pop a pill or go under the knife there are other options.
It's easy to find commercials for drugs to treat it, but finding a man to talk about erectile dysfunction is not as easy.
The National Institutes of Health reports E.D. affects as many as 30 million men in the U.S. The risk increases with age. Doctor Zamip Patel sees patients of all ages.
"So basically, as young as teens to as old as 80s," Zamip Patel, M.D., an Urologist/Andrologist at Florida Hospital, told Ivanhoe.
A surgical implant like this is the last resort, but, as a first option, Dr. Patel says, "most patients want a natural treatment."
A Harvard study found walking 30 minutes a day is linked to a 41 percent drop in E.D. risk. Food can help fight it too. Dark chocolate contains flavinoids that can improve circulation issues that cause E.D. Nitrates in leafy greens like spinach and celery and a protein in pistachios can also help with blood flow, and studies show watermelon can have effects similar to Viagra.
"The idea is that these are high in antioxidants and that can help," said Dr. Patel.
A little muscle building can be beneficial too. Doctor Patel says, exercising the muscle at the base of the penis can help maintain an erection. It's easy to do.
"Every time you pee, start and stop the stream," explained Dr. Patel.
Harvard's Healthbeat reports a man with a 42 inch waistline is 50 percent more likely to have E.D. than a man with a 32 inch waistline. That's because fat creates estrogen and lowers testosterone, which can decrease erectile function. MORE.

Coronado Conducted a Siren Test Todayback
Contact: Janine Zuniga; (619) 522-7340
Coronado Conducted Test of Sirens
All Three Emergency Sirens Worked Properly
CORONADO, CA (April 17, 2014) – The Coronado Fire Department conducted a test of the City's Emergency Siren Warning System today and all three sirens sounded properly then turned off as scheduled. The test was part of a routine test of the City of Coronado's emergency sirens that occurs every year in April.
It is a good time for all residents and businesses to be aware of the sirens and other emergency procedures in Coronado. The test is conducted to ensure the City's three sirens are in working order. All three – one each at the Village Fire Station; Glorietta Bay Park; and the Coronado Cays Fire Station -- were activated at 10:30 a.m. to ensure they are in top working order.
The City of Coronado installed the system in 2002 to alert the community in the event of an emergency. The warning sirens are designed to be heard from all locations within the City of Coronado. Once activated, the sirens will sound from one to three minutes. In the event of an actual emergency, Fire officials ask the community to remain calm and tune the radio to AM 600 (KOGO) to receive specific instructions.
The County of San Diego's Office of Emergency Services is responsible for providing information to the local radio stations once they have received updates from the City. The use of our emergency sirens is just one of the notification systems the city will use in the event of a disaster.
In addition to the sirens, the City will provide notification to citizens in the event of an actual emergency using the AlertSanDiego system. Through the system, local authorities would send telephone notifications to residents and businesses that may be impacted by, or in danger of being impacted by, an emergency or disaster. This system is used by emergency response personnel to notify those homes and businesses at risk with information about the emergency and any actions, such as evacuation, they will be asked to take. The system uses the region's 9-1-1 database, provided by local telephone companies, to reach all land-line telephones and any registered cell phones or email addresses. You may register your contact information at ReadySanDiego.org under the Red Emergency tab.
The City of Coronado also has a Twitter account, @CoronadoCity, a Facebook page, City of Coronado, and uses Nixle (sign up at https://local.nixle.com/register/) that it will use to relay important information in the event of an actual emergency.

Hawaiians love their Spam. But if Spam isn't your thing, try some canned chili dog sauce with added botulism. HealthDay News reports:
Federal health officials warned consumers late Wednesday night that some canned hot dog chili sauce may be contaminated with a potentially deadly botulism toxin.Reports like this are a major reason I avoid processed foods and stick with wholesome fruits and veggies—oh! The phytochemcial revolution has something to do with it to.
The warning applies to 10-ounce cans of Castleberry's, Austex and Kroger brands of hot dog chili sauce with "best by" dates from April 30, 2009, through May 22, 2009, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in a prepared statement…
…The contamination by the toxin is extremely rare for a commercially canned product, according to Dr. Michael Lynch, a U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention medical epidemiologist. The last such U.S. case was back in the 1970s.
Robert Brackett, director of the FDA's Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, urged consumers to discard any of the recalled chili sauce cans without opening them.

A memorial for former Park City Council member "Sweet" Lou Hudson is scheduled for this Saturday, May 31, at 4 p.m. at Jack Green's Pavilion next to Miner's Hospital. Hudson died on April 11 in Atlanta, Georgia.
Hudson's widow, Madeline Mardi Smith-Hudson, says the memorial will be a "celebration of Lou Hudson's life."
Hudson was born on July 11, 1944 in Greensboro, North Carolina, where he grew up before attending college at the University of Minnesota.
Hudson was selected 4th overall in the 1966 NBA Draft. He was a six-time All Star for the St. Louis and then Atlanta Hawks and averaged over 20 points per game for his career.
"A 6-foot-5 swingman who could play guard or small forward, Hudson was known as Sweet Lou, not least because his jump shot -- quick out of his hands, released high over his head -- went down so smoothly," according to The New York Times.
After he retired, Hudson relocated to Park City, where he started a youth basketball camp and served on the city council in the 1990s. The council passed a resolution earlier this month honoring Hudson and noting that he was the first African-American to be elected to public office in Utah.
For Saturday's memorial, attendees are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets. At 5 p.m., there will be formal singing and remarks.

Military grade gadgets and accessories are known for their durability and practicality. If you are looking for the best that the military has to offer, now might be the time to upgrade your toolbox or outdoors kit. Below is a list of six must have military gadgets for recreational and everyday use.
Military Grade Survival Knife (click here)
A military survival knife is ideal for the outdoorsmen who needs a knife that can get the job done, whatever it may be. Not for the weak of wrist, a military survivor knife is perfect for a hunting or fishing trip. When kept fresh by a sharpening stone, this knife can gut, cut and carve as your go-to knife when out in the wilderness. A quality military knife should come with a sheath for protection, and leather-wrapped handle for a firm grip. Appropriate for adults, 18 and up.
Swiss Army Knife (click here)
A classic addition to any first aid kit, back pack, toolbox or even a jewelry box or purse, the Swiss Army Knife is an easy to conceal, practical tool for everyday use. The standard Swiss Army Knife comes with miniature scissors, a nail file, knife and a pick. This handheld gadget is a great tool for small projects and crafts, or teaching a young one how to whittle on a bar of soap. Use the nail file to keep your nails from getting rough and catching cotton, or cut away hangnails with the scissors. A Swiss Army Knife is often the first tool in a first aid kit, and will bring back sentimental feeling from your youth.
Entrenching Tool (click here)
An entrenching tool is a sturdy resource for digging holes for posts or other outdoor needs. A wide handle for extra grip helps you to get more power behind your dig, and the jagged edge provides a surface for hacking away or sawing small branches. Also compactable, an entrenching tool can be folded to fit conveniently into the trunk of a car or tucked into a backpack.
Military Grade Flashlight (click here)
It's time to get rid of that plastic, one-switch flashlight in the closet, because you need a flashlight that can withstand wear and tear, and light up the night. A military grade flashlight is the perfect accessory to keep you safe in the event that the car breaks down, or if you just need a light to close up camp for the night. Many military flashlights come with three settings: one for super bright, a second at 40% power and a third function for a distress, flashing strobe light. Military flashlights come in all shapes in sizes, but for the best portability, consider a smaller light with a fixed clip, like this one.
Military Watch (click here)
A military watch is a must have gadget for someone who wants the highest quality when it comes to owning a practical and versatile accessory. Many military watches on the market are made with a tactical approach. These watches go far and beyond just displaying the time, but can also measure altitude, barometric pressure, water depth, temperature and direction, down to the degree. Other military watches can also be used to dress up an outfit, and may include military insignia to showcase current or former service.
Tactical Backpack (click here)
A tactical backpack is one of the most versatile additions to any collection for outdoorsmen, students or for everyday, practical use. With multiple compartments of variant sizes, you'll be sure to find the right place to store whatever you need for a day, whether you are walking the halls or walking the trail. A quality tactical backpack should include plenty of secure straps for support and sturdy zippers that will stand the test of time.
All of these gadgets and accessories are available through sites like Medals of America online.

Cliff Owen, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Democratic governors are bullish on President Barack Obama's re-election prospects, citing the improving economy and a Republican nominating contest that has exposed deep divisions in the party's base.
Republican governors insist Obama is vulnerable, but they say they are concerned the prolonged primary race has alienated independent voters and may have badly damaged the eventual nominee.
Democratic enthusiasm and Republican apprehension were both on display at the winter meeting of the National Governor's Association, an annual four-day conference where states' top executives gather to discuss policy and trade ideas on best practices but where politics are always close to the surface.
In interviews, many Democratic governors seemed almost giddy about Obama's chances of winning a second term.
They pointed to the improving employment figures, which have helped raise state revenues after years of painful budget cuts. The national unemployment rate stood at 8.3 percent in January, down from a high of 10 percent in October 2009.
"These Republicans that are running for president, they're so depressing. Cheer up!" Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin said after Democratic governors left a White House meeting with Obama. "We've got some good news: a great president creating jobs, and governors who are seeing revenues rebound."
Even Democratic governors of some typically toss-up — or "purple" — states, said they like Obama's chances.
"In a purple state people want to see results and they also want to see a level of collaboration and teamwork. I think he is going to win Colorado," the state's governor, John Hickenlooper, said.
Meanwhile, virtually no Republican governors were willing to predict their party's nominee would prevail in November.
Many lamented the drawn-out nature of the nominating process, in which the early front-runner, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, has been weakened by the intense scrutiny of his wealth, business practices and shifts on issues as well as the unwillingness of conservative voters to rally behind his candidacy. Many conservatives have coalesced recently around former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, Romney's latest strongest rival as the contest moves to primaries in Arizona and Michigan on Tuesday and 10 contests on March 6.
"I don't know anybody who thinks if you started out to design a good process to pick a president you'd choose exactly what we have now," said Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels, a former White House budget director who explored a presidential candidacy but ultimately decided against a run.
Daniels said he would not consider jumping into the race even if Romney were to lose Michigan. Some Republican leaders have said privately that if Romney does not prevail in Michigan — a state where he was born and grew up and where his father served as governor — the defeat could serve as an opening for a party heavyweight like Daniels to join the field.
Daniels, who has not endorsed a candidate, said he didn't believe a potential Romney loss in Michigan indicated unremitting problems with his candidacy.
"The problem I would worry about, and have all along, is that our side might not offer a bold enough and specific enough and constructive enough and, I would say, inclusive enough alternative to America," Daniels said.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, who has endorsed Romney, refused to predict Romney would win Tennessee when voters go to the polls there on Super Tuesday. But he said he felt confident Romney was the strongest candidate to challenge Obama in the general election, in part because he could win unaffiliated voters.
"I think we'll be in for a long election night regardless. I think the race will be close," Haslam said. "That's why it's important for Republicans to do a great job expressing our case and reaching out to independents."

Chesterfield at Buford
BUFORD – Buford High School senior quarterback-defensive end Tripp Wright is making the most of his senior football season.

Chesnee, which ended the Lady Vols' playoff run last season, repeated the court feat with a 3-0 sweep in the Class AA Upper State championship match.
The 26-5 Lady Eagles, with solid court coverage, stopped the AJ playoff charge, which included three straight home sweeps of Pelion, Indian Land and Chesterfield.
RICHBURG – Four Lancaster County high school football players were honored at the weekly meeting of the Founders Federal Tri-County Football Coaches Association on Tuesday afternoon.
Lancaster High School players Kaderrious Jackson and Quinshun Evans were saluted for their play, along with Indian Land High School's Curtis Groll and Jimmy Locklear.

It's not as easy as it sounds. Basically I can move $A$ and check the distance to $B$. However there is a $\pm0.015$ error range , in other words if the real distance is $0.29$, it will get rounded to $0.3$. So the possible values are : $0.03$, $0.06$, $0.09$ and so on
I tried drawing two circles and finding the intersection but the thing in the square root is negative. I assume this is because of the rounding - the circles don't actually overlap.
Is there a method to find the coords of $B$ given the error margin? (note the coords need to be accurate in a circle of $0.05$ around the real coords) I can move $A$ at any point I want and get the rounded distance - can I increment until the value changes and derive the actual real distance from that?

The business case is attractive. In addition
to aiding recruitment and retention (thus reducing training,
hiring and relocation costs), EAH can help reduce tardiness
and absenteeism, revitalize the surrounding neighborhood,
improve employee performance, strengthen families by addressing
their debt issues and enhance the company's reputation.
"It provides stability for the community
and the business," says Michelle King of Fannie Mae's
Community Lending Center. "When businesses get involved,
it enables employers to retain their workforce as well as
provide a very much needed asset: housing. It's a great exchange."
Fannie Mae started its own EAH program in 1991.
Employees must work 180 days to become eligible and remain
with the company for five years to receive full forgiveness
of the loan. So far, more than 2,500 employees have taken
Fannie Mae up on its offer.
Many employers choose to outsource the EAH program,
often to a lender or counseling agency better positioned to
offer home-buyer education and guidance. Some employers offer
time off to attend home-buyer classes or will pick up the
cost of such programs. Some offer both.
The cost of an EAH program to the employer is
more than offset by the savings accrued from reducing turnover,
recruitment, relocation and training. Fannie Mae estimates
that a 1-percent reduction in the turnover rate for a company
of 5,000 employees can save the cost of hiring and training
50 new employees.
MPC helped convince the State of Illinois to
sweeten the incentives for employers by offering to return
50 percent of the costs of a company's EAH program in the
form of tax credits. Nonprofits such as public universities
and hospitals that do not need the tax credits are free to
sell them. At least two other states, Missouri and Connecticut,
also offer tax credits to companies that invest in employer-assisted
MPC housing associate Samantha DeKoven says
the tax credits make a good deal even better.
"Typical industry numbers will say that
replacing someone costs about the equivalent of their salary:
If someone makes $30,000, it will cost that to advertise,
recruit and train their replacement. If you invest say $6,000
in an employer-assisted housing initiative for that person,
the company gets $3,000 back through tax credits and saves
$27,000. It's a huge win."
MPC-initiated EAH programs run the gamut in
terms of benefits. Its largest program, the University of
Chicago, offers $7,500 forgiven over five years. Most offer
in the $2,500 range, but one employer located in a very expensive
housing market offers $15,000, some of it forgiven, to employees
who stay for five years.
There is a very real infrastructure component
to EAH in Chicago, where old high-rise public housing projects
such as Cabrini Green are being replaced with more mixed-income
housing. There are new initiatives on the drawing board that
would help working people purchase new housing in these new
developments, in the hope of avoiding the "projects"
stigma that afflicted Cabrini Green.
"This is sort of a one-shot deal to overhaul
and recreate public housing into good-quality, well-designed,
well-maintained housing that is integrated into the community,"
DeKoven says.
Employers would certainly prefer that their
employees live within walking distance to the office, but
in some locations that is unrealistic.
"There are two different views on this,"
says DeKoven. "In expensive housing markets, employers
recognize that their employees probably can't afford to own
a home there. But some, like the University of Chicago, have
a different angle. For them, it's more of a community development
initiative. They may be in a community that is in transition
and would like to see their community be stable places. If
our employees will live here and invest here, that will be
good for the employee and good for us."
DeKoven estimates that somewhere between 5 percent
to 10 percent of employees will take advantage of EAH programs,
making it impractical for very small employers. But for most
medium and large businesses, the benefits can greatly outweigh
the investment.
"This isn't health care. This isn't something
that everybody needs. We think of it more like daycare, which
you may need at various stages of your working life. Fifteen
years ago, employers said daycare was the employee's problem.
Then they found out that if they offered it, their employee
base became more stable, and they had less issues with tardiness
and absenteeism. This is heading in the same direction."

XP tracker
Redirected from XP Counter
this wiki
The XP tracker (formerly known as the XP Counter or XP ticker) was originally released by Jagex to members along with the Bonus XP Weekend on 12 March 2010. Exactly one month later, the XP Counter was released on 12 April 2010 to all players. It didn't get very much attention because it was displayed on the same announcement that unveiled the highly-anticipated skill, Dungeoneering.
Access and placementEdit
The settings for the XP tracker are under the "Metrics" tab of the RuneMetrics menu. The on-screen location of the XP tracker can be changed from the options menu as well, by first selecting Edit mode, and then selecting Gameplay HUDs editing.
When opened, up to three counters will be shown on screen. Each displays the amount of experience a player has received since they last reset that counter. Logging in or out does not affect the counter whatsoever. Every time a player has the counter out and receives experience in one of the tracked skills, the additional xp will show up briefly, and the total in that skill be updated correspondingly.
To reset a counter, choose "Reset Counter to Zero" option at the bottom. This is not reversible, so be sure that you want to reset the counter before you do it.
XP pop-upsEdit
Also included in the update was an XP Pop-up option. Once the player begins to train a skill the pop-up will be displayed in the top-middle of the game screen. XP rises from the player and into the pop-up, displaying the type of XP gained through the skill's respective icon. A loader that encircles the skill icon will proceed to load based on remaining xp until the next level. Once it's full and the level has been achieved the icon alerts the player with fireworks, plus tells you any new unlocked milestones. The advantage to this is that player is told when a new level is reached but the character doesn't stop working (if Fletching or Smithing, for example). Before the player would have to click continue to have the character resume work. Additionally, if one wants to check how much exp if left before level-up, the player can simply hover over the globe rather than navigating to the skills panel.
If the pop-up is clicked on it will take the player to the Skill Advance Guide, which helps the player track milestones and allows many sorting/filtering options. The XP Pop-up can be toggled by right-clicking on the XP Counter button.
- The XP Tracker was moved from the Interface menu to the RuneMetrics menu on 22 February 2016.
- The button for the XP Counter was originally a circle with the text "XP+". On 13 April 2010, a day after the main release, the XP Counter icon was changed slightly and the "XP+" was simply changed to "XP".
- On 25 May 2010, Jagex changed the XP Counter reset button and made it so that a player had to right-click the XP Counter button and choose "Reset XP Total". This cleared up previous frustration, as players were able to unintentionally reset their counter by an accidental left click on the box.
- On 25 August 2010, the font for the XP Counter was updated.
- On 24 November 2010, commas were added to the XP Counter making the shown experience easier to read.
- An update increased the allotted counter space as digits of experience increased.
- On 22 November 2011, as part of the RuneScape Revolution Update, the XP Counter button received a graphical update (but only when viewed with Resizeable or Fullscreen modes). The new style had a more metallic and modern feel.
- On 16 January 2012, the XP Counter was revamped. Two optional counters were added, which allowed players to setup three separate counters to track total XP and/or XP gained in a specific skill. The counter box was removed, and the graphics and layout of the counter were changed.
- The release of Runescape 3 changed how the xp track was accessed, but the overall function remained the same.
- Jagex originally had no priority to release the counter, but many players made threads on the official RuneScape forums for the XP Counter to remain after the Bonus XP weekend. Jagex then confirmed that they would look into releasing the feature.
- Before 25 May 2010, the Alt Text, when the mouse was hovering over the XP Counter icon, was "Click". This did not tell anything useful about the XP Counter itself. Other buttons have more informative Alt Text, such as "World Map" and "Turn run mode on". Afterwards, the text was changed to "Open XP Total", and later on, "Toggle XP Total". The text is currently "Toggle XP Display".
- The allotted space for the XP Counter seems to only be 8 digits. Before an update, if a player received over 99,999,999 experience, the ninth digit was placed over the colon, near the right side of the "P". Now, the allotted space simply increases.
- When the experience on the counter reaches over 214,748,364.7 experience, the counter will display the word "Lots!". A higher number cannot be shown because RuneScape uses 32-bit signed integers, which cannot store numbers higher than 2,147,483,647. Since experience is stored to the tenth of an experience point, the maximum experience on the counter is one-tenth of this.
- There is currently a glitch where the XP counter quickly shows a very large amount of experience (usually the total xp earned in that skill) upon opening. This may happen for one or many skills. No experience is gained or lost when this occurs.
- The XP Counter is together with the Stats tab on fixed screen the only interface where the total level icon is still .
- Once players have achieved level 99 in a skill without getting the maximum amount of XP, the pop-up globe no longer appears for that skill, but the experience still appears. Unless virtual levelling is used, then it will still pop-up.
- If a player gains experience in two skills simultaneously and the player is wearing XP-boosting gear for both skills (such as burning wood with the inferno adze while wearing flame gloves/ring and lumberjack clothing), the XP pop-up will not show the amount of bonus XP but instead will just show the total experience earned.

It's just about time to stock up on a few of those miracle products designed to keep our poor skin soothed, moisturized, and protected from the dry weather. Our favorite thus far has been Gly-miracle Skin Humectant ($29 combo deal). It's silky smooth and doesn't leave a greasy film on our hands and feet. The glycerin helps repair our irritated skin and the chamomile and Irish moss calm redness and splotches. We're pretty fond of the subtle herbal scent, too.

After nearly twenty years of research into baby formula safety, the FDA has decided to enact new policies and standards for manufacturers. The new standards enforce rigorous testing of the products before they are shipped out. While most manufacturers already adhere to these standards, the FDA has placed a new and very descriptive rule book on manufacturers' desks.
While this information was made known to manufacturers quite recently, the data has only reached the public in full as of February 6, 2014. Many parents have called out the FDA stating that the laws came far too late in the game and that without rigorous testing, they didn't/don't know what they are giving their babies. After the melamine scare in China in 2008, parents in America were on high alert for recalls or other safety concerns regarding infant formula. This melamine scare led to the death of 6 infants and the hospitalization of nearly 54,000 more.
Why the new standards? Studies have shown that a quarter of infants rely on formula from birth and that over two-thirds use formula for at least a portion of their nutrition after three months. Having such a large portion of infants rely on the product for extended periods of time called for more intensive testing and higher standards.
Not only must there be greater testing for contamination, but the manufacturers must also provide proof that their formulas would support normal infant growth as breast milk would. It was already law to provide elements such as fats, vitamins, minerals, and proteins, but the new law will ensure that the companies are adhering to the laws sufficiently.

Today we drove and hour away from Maribor to a town called Mslinja. We were all pretty pumped because we didn't leave the hotel until 12 which meant we got to sleep in. when we got there we stopped by an elementary school. Three 5 year olds showed us their super sweet dance moves-that was cute. When we left the school we went to a nearby restaurant for lunch. We had noodle soup that was very good, rice, potatoes and three different kinds of meats. After that we drove to these huge ski jumps. The coaches went down them on sleds, which was extremely entertaining to watch. We have it on tape so if there's such a thing as "Europe's Funniest Home Videos" we have a shot of winning the grand prize. When that was done we went to the gym. We know now what it feels like to be famous because we were surrounded by little who followed us everywhere, shook our hands and took pictures of us on their camera phones. They were everywhere! We won all five games that we played. It felt good to end with a win. Then we went to eat dinner (tons of meat of course) with some the girls from the other team. It was a lot of fun getting to know them. We came back to Maribor for one last night, and now we're about to get some sleep before our big day in Vienna tomorrow.

What's your Grim Fandango excuse?
How did you first hear about Grim Fandango?
I said other
(not because it is none of your business)
but because:
a friend had a lucasarts game,
pod racer. I liked that game
and still do
*even though I hear people knocking it*
and while there his room mate had
a copy of GF, well they had all played it
and the room mate guy said I could have GF
as a trade for Age Of Empires Gold edition,
I had 2 of them at the time.
(he however) wanted to keep the OST
that came with GF and I at the time not
knowing the OST was so good said okay.
and then I lost or missplaced GF
and it sat in a desk drawer
for a long time before I remembered
I had it. (actually 2002):eek:
anyway when I finally started playing it
and realised it was the greatest game
in the world, it was way too late
to get the OST. and going to the
lucasarts store, I found the GFOST
was no longer available.
I did finally get a copy of the OST,
(but I would gladdly and willing
buy an actual copy Mr Lucas.
please take note,
I am an eager consumer.)
Okay, so I used to be a avid subscriber to PCG. I always read the backspace colum where they interview someone relevant to the gaming world. I forget who they were interviewing, but they asked him what his favorite game was and he said Grim Fandango. You know what? I'm going to find out who that was a I'll find what he said to. I just have to go through my towering stack of PCGs. I'll post it eventually.
Other, and I'm making it your business. I found the GF demo on a PC User CD. I played the GF demo, the C&C Red Alert demo and the Half-Life demo over and over for months on my old 486dx100. Have you ever played Half-Life on a 486 with no 3D graphic support? It makes for an interesting slideshow.
I played the demo first and came to the conclusion this was a pretty darn good game! :D
after playing the demo i was practically clawing at my face in anticipation of the full game.
Where the hell did that mysterious tunnel go?! ARGGH!
What a game
It was the first adventure-game I played, and after I played the demo I just loved the characters :)
I eventually snapped it up after I'd finished CMI and when I finally had a computer that could run it, which was a while after it came out.
I didn't get to play the demo, but I knew that it would be great based on the fact that it's a LucasArts adventure. I'd also seen some excellent reviews in games magazines, and I was quite annoyed that it had little chance of running on my tired old p100 with a wopping 8mb of RAM (Which at the time, I had no idea I could upgrade). Still, good things come to those who wait.
I guess it was sort of rude to post the question, but not my excuse. Truth is - it was the wife. She played the demo after hearing how fantastic the game was. I think she got tipped off to the fact from Secret of Monkey Island, but that's another story.
Thanks folks.
I think 'Played the demo' should definitely be an option on this poll, it seems most people got into it that way.:p
my excuse to finish year 4
well I like to savour a game,
rather than just rush through it
so this weekends to do list
begins and ends with:
play year 4 Grim Fandango
Actually, I hadn't played many AGs before that one(or maybe none at all I don't remember) but even they weren't real AGs. My mother knew that I liked that type of game though, so when she was out buying stuff she happened upon it.
(I tried asking her where she found it lately, but she doesn't remember).
So I installed it that night, but didn't get to play.
The next day I started it, and really loved it, but I got stuck at the most unbelievable point! I doubt I should even bother putting it in a spoiler.
When we go to the land of the living, with the un-raped soul(Bruno) in it, I couldn't reap him! I think this was because I was sure that I tried to use the scythe, but anyway, I took a break from the game and tried againg every once in a while. I didn't know I could find a walkthrough or post in a forum at that time, so I just tried again sometimes, and only accidentally used the scythe after a month!
Feel free to laugh at me.:rolleyes:
But anyways, what makes me angry at myself
is that I used a walkthrough later in the game, in parts in Rubacava, because I was inexperienced with AGs and puzzles. But there might be a way to fix that.:)
I won't detail the technique here, this post is getting to long anyway.:p
P.s. I'm new here.:)
Did anybody actually get through the game without using the walkthrough or help forums at all? I think everybody must have used them for some puzzle or another.
I must admit, I needed help in quite a few parts; which was at hand as I happened to know someone who had played the game. Even luckier, he was the not the annoying kind of bastard who tells you that Bruce Willis is really a ghost in the Sixth sense, he dispensed only hints, until I was truly stumped, in which case I had to beat the answer out of him ;)
The pigeon egg puzzle was annoying.
I didn't realise that I had to download the patch for the elevator puzzle. Hair was sharply removed from my aching head after I spent hours trying to figure out what the hell to do, and then was informed that I needed a patch the following day.
I actually can't remember most of the puzzles and places I got stuck in Grim Fandango, which is why I want to play it again. Sadly, not possible until I upgrade Operating System; or just system. :(
I'm exactly the opposite, I can't manage to forget anything no matter how mush I try.
I did play it about 10 times when I got it(around 1998-1999), but only played again a month ago, which is enough time to forget, but I can't.
I did find a technique called lucid dreaming, which is not meant for this, but I believe that if it's possible to remember something thanks to this, then it might be possible to forget something aswell.
I hope so.;)
I only got to play it once, and then it was played in teeny segments over a long period of time :( - Still, it has its advantages - hopefully when I finally fire it up again, I won't remember the puzzles.
I bought it blindly. I saw it on the cover of a magazine and I just knew I had to have it. Only after mail ordering it did I look at a trailer for it - not the demo though. :D
when it was released i wasn't as big of a lucasarts fan as I am now, but i had played all the lucasarts adventures up till then..
when i saw it in a store i thought the box art looked so cool, but my oldest brother said the game was probably very bad and that lucasarts had gone downhill. he advised me not to spend my money on such a bad game.. i listened to him
until years later i became the big lec fan i am now and i realised i missed out on grim fandango. i was destined to get a boxed copy, sealed. and i found one from a swedish seller, great! the game is english but the backside of the box has swedish text, but that doesn't matter, the box art is so beautiful! he even had another copy so i bought another to keep one sealed. after playing the game i immediatly bought the original soundtrack from the lec store, luckily it still sold back then. shortly after i got the soundtrack it was taken of the store. wow, i was lucky to be just in time to experience grim fandango to the fullest. yes and now, now im the big man of adventure games in the house
typing capital letters was really too much work
Did you ever manage to convice your brother to come over to the forces of Grim Fandango goodness and light?
Bought it blindly.
Got my dad Tomb Raider for his birthday once. It wasn't the one he wanted. He took it back to get a new game, and ended up bringing home Grim Fandango, it looked interesting. I thought it just looked weird. He never got to play it the rest of us were hooked.
Other... friend raved on and on about it, and eventually loaned me his copy just recently.
My cousin had it and I thought it was great. A month or so later I bought the game and finished it just over a year or so later. Perfecto Mundo gaming in every way. I also love LucasArts adventures, especially Sam and Max and Day of the tentacle.
But as I learned English I started loving them :D Anyway, he doesnt play any games anymore now. Deus Ex and Hitman 2 are the last games he played I think.
I still want him to play Grim Fandango, CMI, (optionally EMI), GK3. :)
My dad got it for me, since I love everything lucas related, he guessed I wuss gonna like dis one too, and I did ;)
I really liked Sam & Max & Day of the tentacle too, the tentacle was impossible to figure out without walkthru tho O_X
and me being 7 when I played it didn't really help, lol
I used to sit in the basement with my dad and just play it for hours :D
I got stuck on getting the fire started in the colonial times, and getting into Dwayne's room.
Sam and Max was easier, and had more swearing (If you can call it that)
Actually, I've never heard Grim Fandango earlier. But meanwhile I was under holiday back to Moscow where my cousins, grandmother, mothers sister etc. One young guy I know was giving me Grim fandango in Rus & Eng version. He didn't need it, so now I own it.;)
My friend told me about it (this was before i knew anything about LucasArts adventure games), so I played the demo, and then bought it (then I played all the other LucasArts games and liked them too).
Other than my absolute love of the fact that you play as the Grim Reaper(well, not THE Grim Reaper but you know what I mean) I also wanted to really get inside that Calavera bastard's head!
Anything interesting in there? His head, I mean.
Don't waste your time, Gendo. "Being John Malkovich" is more interesting. His head's just got a load of Mercedes(Colomar that is)-craze and self-righteous smarmy nonsense. I did find the magnet combinations for his roulette table interesting though. I'll have to gamble at that old Casino of his at some point.
I was a huge Monkey Island fan. I figured if MI advertised it, it must me good! :D
hello all
I had seen it in my cousin's place and plaied it till the poisoning and i fall in love with it instantly. From that day(ok from some months later:P ) i needed it like air :)
We feel you, brother. Let's hope and pray there will one day be a GFA (Grim Fandango Anonymous) to give us our lives back. Until then, we must struggle through as best we can.
Grim Fandango 2
Just playing every LucasArts Adventure
that is released ... I somehow knew i would miss
something , when not buying this game ... and well ,
I was right ^^
I love LucasArts ;) and :manny: rulez :D
Just waiting and waiting for FT2!!!
Every time for the past 3-4 years when I walked into the gaming store I saw this game while I browsed over the LA titles. Saw the skeleton [Manny] on the front and thought, "What the hell kind of game is that?" Paid no attention to it and had no interest in it ... I doubt I ever picked up the box to read what was on the back.
Then at the beginning of May, Just Adventure + posted a review about it and gave it a good review. Sure, whatever. But the more I posted on the JA+ forums, the more people kept recommending this game to others and the more it seemed that people had played the game themselves. So I thought, "Well, why not?" picked it up at the store a few weeks ago.
Now look at me. Posting away at this forum like there's no tomorrow. :)
:manny: :meche:
I played the demo first. I thought - Well , this game is great. After that I read some reviews in polish magazines. Grim Fandango was rated as the best adventure game in year. Becuase I am fan of adventure games , I realised that I have to buy Grim Fandango. I paid 200 PLN ,but I was very enjoyed. And I am still enjoy.

Atlantis and the seven-member crew left behind the station's new European Space Agency (ESA) Columbus laboratory and ESA astronaut Leopold Eyharts to prepare science experiments inside for operation.
After undocking, Atlantis Pilot Alan Poindexter completed a full fly around so his crewmates could obtain video and digital still imagery of Columbus docked to Harmony's right-side port.
The crew is performing a final inspection of the shuttle's thermal protection system in preparation for return to Earth. The Orbiter Boom Sensor System is used to search for any evidence of damage from orbital debris. That data will be reviewed by engineers over the next day.
Astronaut Daniel Tani, who has been in space since his launch to the space station in October, exercised to help prepare his body to feel the pull of gravity again.
Atlantis is targeted to land at the Kennedy Space Center Wednesday at 8:07 a.m. The weather forecast is favorable.
Today the crew is scheduled to go to sleep at 3:45 p.m. and awaken at 11:45 p.m.

Tamra Barney wants everyone to know that her changed appearance on this past season of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is not because she went overboard with the Botox and fillers. In her Bravo blog entry posted on Tuesday, September 2, Tamra implored the show's fans to stop making fun of her appearance, which she claims is due to going through a very painful period in her life.
Throughout the season and especially after the reunion show aired, many viewers wrote on various blogs and on social media about how bad Tamra looked. Many thought that she had gone too far in her pursuit to look young, resulting in a face that looked worse than before. Specifically, her cheeks looked too full, which in turn made her eyes look more squinty.
However, according to Tamra, she's not purposefully turning into the cat lady. In her blog, she admitted that she looked particularly bad at the reunion. As for why, it's because she was "physically exhausted and emotionally drained." She said that her face and eyes were swollen all season long from crying every night. "So before you want to make fun or say I have had tons of work done (which I have not) consider my pain," she wrote. Obviously, she reads what "The Real Housewives of Orange County" viewers write about her on the Internet!
As for the cause of Tamra's pain, Tamra didn't specify. She only said that it's something that she hasn't talked about publicly. Since Tamra is currently going through a nasty child custody battle with her ex-husband, Simon Barney, it may have something to do with that. Or it may have something to do with her relationships with her teenage children.
During her appearance on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," a fan asked Tamra Barney what she did to her face. After playing coy for a bit, she admitted to using fillers. Perhaps she should stop using them and just go natural?

Burton is a dynamic organization that offers an excellent benefits package. Enrollment dates for each of the benefits vary; please contact Human Resources for specific dates.
Health Insurance:
CIGNA administers the health insurance program for Burton employees. There are three plans offered: a PPO (Preferred Provider Network), an EPP (Exclusive Provider Program, similar to an HMO) and HRA (Health Reimbursement Arrangement). The PPO provides the flexibility to go in or out of network, with a financial incentive offered to stay in-network. When staying in the network, a doctor's visit costs $10 / $20 (preventative/specialist) and all other services are provided after a $200 deductible ($400 family). The EPP Program offers comprehensive health services at $10/$20 (preventative/specialist) a visit. The HRA option is a network plan built on the PPO platform. It combines a high deductible ($2,000 individual/$4,000 family) plan with an account ($1,000 individual/$2,000 family funded by Burton) that will help cover a percentage of the deductible. You decide how to use the dollars in your fund. And the dollars remaining in your fund may roll over for you to use in future years. All preventative care is covered at 100%. This plan will cost you significantly less per paycheck. All three plans include a prescription drug coverage with a 3-Tier plan at participating pharmacies.
Dental Insurance:
Dental ranges from 50% to 100% reimbursement depending on the procedure. Dental deductible is $25 individual and $75 family. Plan maximum is $2,000 per person per year.
Eye care Benefit:
All eligible employees can sign up for vision coverage offered through VSP. The VSP coverage allows for $10 eye exams at participating providers. Glasses or contacts are covered every 12 months.
Burton 401(k) Incentive Savings Plan:
Burton encourages employees to save for their retirement; all eligible employees may participate in the Burton 401(k) incentive Savings plan. The 401(K) Retirement is made of 401(K) and discretionary company match.
Domestic Partner Benefit Coverage:
Burton offers Domestic Partner coverage to employees who have been in a committed relationship for at least one year. This benefit allows employees to purchase health insurances for their partner as well as some other benefits.
125 Flexible Spending/Premium Plan:
As allowed by the Internal Revenue code, employees may elect to have their medical premium contributions taken out on a pretax basis. This will reduce the amounts being withheld by Federal, State and Social Security taxes. Employees may also elect to set money aside on a pretax basis to pay for foreseeable medical and/or dependent care expenses.
Daycare Benefit:
This benefit allows parents who are eligible and who participate in the Dependent Care Reimbursement Plan (DCRA) to receive a 100% match contribution by Burton (IRS dollar limits still apply). If you choose the maximum IRS limit as your annual goal amount ($5,000); you will set aside $2,500 a year (tax free) in the DCRA and Burton will match you $2,500 a year (tax free) in the DCRA.
Short Term Disability:
Employees meeting eligibility requirements are covered under Burton's short-term disability policy. On the 8th day of absence due to a non-work related illness or 1st day of absence due to a non-work related accident or injury, employees may receive 60% (up to $1,000) of their weekly pay for a maximum period of 26 weeks.
Long Term Disability:
Employees meeting eligibility requirements are covered under Burton's long-term disability policy. On the 26th week of absence due to non-work related illness or injury, employees may receive 60% of their monthly pay up to $5,000 a month.
Life Insurance:

Accidental Death and Dismemberment:
Employees have a two times base salary AD&D insurance benefit with the premium paid in full by Burton.
Fitness Program:

Employee Assistance Program:
All employees are eligible for confidential counseling services through the Employee Assistance Program. Employees and their family members can receive up to three free visits per occurrence.

Emmys: Aden Young on Sundance's 'Rectify'
Aden Young shares what drew him to the play the lead character in Ray McKinnon's drama and what we can expect for the second season. On playing a guy that was put on death row for 19 years and then released from prison he added, "Even as an actor you wish to imagine, to understand but you really can't. Daniel was an idea, a projection of what it might be like. To go into the real thing, I don't think we can have an understanding."

FGCU Delivers Men's Soccer a 1-0 Loss in OT
Box Score
Photo Gallery
PRINCETON, N.J. (9/29/13) - Florida Gulf Coast University's second shot on goal of the game was the game winner as Will Suedois scored the lone goal in the 94th minute as the Eagles defeated the Princeton men's soccer team 1-0.
Princeton dominated the last 48 minutes of the game, with a 12-4 advantage in shots in the second half. The Tigers had a number of scoring chances but couldn't put the ball away.
The first shot on goal of the game didn't come until the 81st minute when Cameron Porter had a back heel on a pass from Josh Miller get swallowed up by keeper Danny George.
FGCU's two shots on goal came from Will Suedois and came in the 93rd and 94th minutes. Suedois first shot was stopped by MacMillan but the second would end the game as it swept into the left corner. Felipe DeSousa flipped the ball forward to Suedois for the game winner.
"We had a really, really tough first half and put ourselves in position to lose a close game because we started so poorly," Princeton head coach Jim Barlow said. "I don't know why. FGCU looked sharp in the first half, but we weren't ready to play. We had a good second half, but in college soccer you can't play well for 45 minutes and guarantee yourselves that you're going to win the game.
"It was the same the other night against FIU. I don't know why were starting so slowly and taking so long to get into it. A bunch of guys that we thought we were starting to be able to count on didn't play quite as well as they have been and we paid the price."
The game started slowly with FGCU controlling the pace the first 20 minutes. After a shot by sophomore Thomas Sanner and two substitions in the 23rd minute turned the tide. The Tigers followed up with two shots by Myles McGinley that went high, and did not allow a shot on the other end
"The second half was better, and we created chances and didn't put them away," Barlow said. "There is so much parity in college soccer, to play well in spurts like that gives the other team to win the game on one play.
Porter nearly had a 1x1 before he was called offsides in the 64th minute and Nico Hurtado had a shot go just wide in the 73rd. One of the better scoring chances came in the 78th minute when Porter had a shot blocked and the rebound set just wide by Miller. Miller had another opportunity in the 86th minute when he aimed just wide off a corner kick. Hurtado delivered the final shot in the 88th minute with the ball again skimming just wide.
The Tigers came out in overtime and continued to control ball as the the defense and midfielders were delivered excellent balls into the box, but just a shot wide would result.
Goalkeepers George and Seth MacMillan made one save apiece for their respective teams. Princeton finished the game with 16 shots to FGCU's 10, and had three corners to FGCU's one.
Princeton, now 2-5 on the season, opens the Ivy League schedule at unbeaten Dartmouth on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 4:30 p.m.

The first trip we see is made by Tim on New Years Day, immediately upon being informed by his father that he can travel to his own past. He chooses to travel to the party of the previous night, and being there with foreknowledge of how he made a fool of himself at the party he adroitly avoids doing so the second time through. This becomes our first real information about how it works and what happens.
It should be noted that to do this, Tim enters the hall closet, makes the jump, and exits the from the hall closet into the party; when he has finished his visit, he re-enters the closet and returns to the same closet in his own time. Some of those details will be important later; what matters for now is that he leapt to the past and returned to the future, and that when he did so he altered his own history such that he never made a fool of himself at the party the night before. We, though, must trace that history.
In the original history, Tim made a fool of himself at the party, and still regretted it the next day. Then his father told him that he could travel to his own past and alter it, and although he did not believe it, his test scenario was to undo the embarrassment, at which he succeeded. He then skips the intervening events and returns to New Years Day.
However, he does not cease to exist in the past. Rather, the version of him for which it is still New Years Eve apparently abruptly finds himself in a closet with no knowledge of what has happened for the past ten minutes, the very ten minutes when the countdown reached zero and the new year began and everyone celebrated. He did not embarrass himself, but he probably decided something was wrong with him. The next morning he is not thinking about how he embarrassed himself the night before, because neither he nor anyone else remembers him having done so. His father tells him of his unsuspected ability, and if he has any reason to go back to the party it is to find out why he had that blackout, and what he was doing at that time. He cannot, however, undo the cause of his embarrassment, because he is unaware of it--although probably he would be less enthusiastic about the New Year and more circumspect in trying to observe the events around him, so probably he would not embarrass himself if he made the same trip.
The complication is that it is not very likely that he would do so. There are probably hundreds of times he might prefer to revisit, and the specific impetus for him to travel to last night has been erased. That means there is no reason for him to make that trip, and so he does not make it (he makes some other trip instead), and thus his doppelganger, not having the benefit of foreknowledge, stumbles into the embarrassment he had undone. We are probably at this point trapped in an infinity loop, and that means the movie has ended. Of course, as we noted, there have been hundreds of such trips made by his relatives, most of which will have suffered the same fate as this one, and so we cannot have reached the present.
One way to save this is to use the common understanding of Niven's Law, and so to suppose that once a time traveler has altered the past he need not in the new version of events make the trip to alter the past, because once he has changed it it remains changed. Objections to this view have been made elsewhere, but if we allow for the moment that in this film that rule applies it becomes an issue to which we will have to return later.
There is another significant issue with this particular alteration to the past that we will have to consider next time, pertaining to Tim's memories.

Just because you are the son of Dale Murphy doesn't mean you are going to be drafted to play professionally. Ask Jake Murphy, the Utah Utes tight end who left school early, how that all went for him at NFL Draft 2014.
The short answer is it didn't go well at all. Murphy wasn't drafted by any NFL team. Only two of his Ute teammates were drafted -- Keith McGill went in the fourth round, Trevor Reilly in the seventh -- and not one of them will receive a guaranteed contract to play football at the next level until they have proven themselves, first at mini-camp and then at pre-season training camp.
Only then will they be able to make an NFL team. The one good thing is that because Murphy signed a free agent deal with the Oakland Raiders he still is free -- as the title implies -- to pursue any team he chooses. That doesn't necessarily make things any better for the son of a baseball legend, but it will have to do.
Murphy expressed his feelings quite outwardly about being an NFL Free Agent in the Deseret News on Sunday, May 11 -- which was kind of interesting considering most athletes shy from public sentiments. You could really sense from Murphy's responses on his Twitter page that he was hurt by the process but that he knew he had to move on.
That Murphy was 24 years of age probably had a lot to do with him not being drafted. But, McGill is 24 and he was drafted by the Raiders, and Reilly is 26 yet the Jets finally called his name in the seventh and final round.
"Obviously you want to go drafted. But dwelling on the past will do no good. This is the best situation I could be in and have no regrets," Murphy tweeted.
The same goes for fullback Karl Williams, who was expected to go late in the draft but instead didn't hear his name. He signed a free agent contract with the Raiders as well.
Other Utah Utes signing free agent deals included tight end Anthony Denham (Houston Texans), defensive tackle Tenny Palepoi (San Diego Chargers) and offensive lineman Vyncent Jones (either the Pittsburgh Steelers or the Kansas City Chiefs).

In 2005, home improvements were providing an 87% return on investment. In 2010, Remodeling Magazine quoted a 60% return on investment on a kitchen or master bathroom remodeling project. Hardly worth the effort, right?
Not so, in many cases, these projects make more sense now, than they did at the height of the real estate boom in Northern Virginia. If you are planning on staying in your home for five or more years, your home is a smart place to invest your money now.
Here are 8 reasons why:
1. Materials have come down in price. Since the mid-2000's, the cost of building supplies have tumbled, too. Plywood is down 23%, drywall is down 29% and framing lumber is down 35%.

The Manhattan Optimist 14-and-under Bullets competed this weekend in the "Bite Out of the Lil' Apple" softball tournament, finishing in second place. Key injuries continued to handcuff the team for the second weekend in a row.
After going 1-1 in pool play, the Bullets would finally have both starting pitchers return to compete Sunday in single-elimination bracket play. Because of their injuries, neither girl would be able to run or bat. This would sideline two of the team's leading hitters for yet another tournament.
The team defeated the Topeka Magic 6-1, and the Topeka Cyclones-Storm 7-0, to clear the way to play the Nitros for the tournament championship.
Going just one day without another major injury was not going to happen. The Bullets catcher and team captain would sprain her ankle in her first at bat, and have to come out of the game.
The offense was simply unable to get in rhythm, and the Bullets would leave eight girls on base. The Bullets placed second with a 3-0 loss to the Nitros.
The Optimist Bullets are Mady Trujillo, Rachel Duer, Ashlynn Bledsoe, Malary Tajchman, Allie Jo Hiatt, Alex Hoelscher, Savanna Cavanaugh, Gabrielle Nelms, Raegan Wilcoxson, Meg Auten, and Alexandra Maulsby.
The Bullets record for the summer season currently stands at 19-8.

Strong First Half Propels UMass Past URI, 3-1
Oct. 6, 2012
AMHERST, Mass. - Matching its highest goal output of the 2012 season, the UMass women's soccer team posted three first half tallies to down Rhode Island, 3-1 on Saturday afternoon at Rudd Field. With their second straight win, the Minutewomen improve to 7-6-0 overall and 2-1-0 in Atlantic 10 play, while the Rams drop to 7-6-1 and 0-3-0 in the conference.
UMass wasted no time getting on the board as junior Grace Coombs' strike from 25 yards out found the back of the net just 31 seconds into the match. Coombs ran onto a pass from sophomore Moa Mattsson, who corralled a centering feed from junior Brittany Moore.
However, URI managed level the score at 1-1 in the 18th minute. Off a corner kick from Jennifer Barrientos, Dariann Sellitti battled through traffic and knocked the ball past goalkeeper Emily Cota near the far post.
The Minutewomen quickly regained the lead, though. Mattsson headed down sophomore Tori Sousa's corner kick from close range for her team-leading seventh tally of the season at 25:47.
UMass then closed out the scoring in 32nd minute as sophomore Emily Benjamin finished off a cross from Sousa, her first collegiate goal.
Cota logged two saves and picked up the win (5-2-0), while Chelsea Broghamer had three stops in net for the Rams. Shots were even in the contest at 11-11, while Rhode Island led in corners, 4-3. Fouls were 16-13 against the Minutewomen.
UMass returns to action next weekend, Oct. 12-14, making its first Atlantic 10 road trip of the season. The Minutewomen are set to take on Saint Joseph's on Friday night at 7 p.m. in Philadelphia, Pa.
