Trixie 14/06/2010 | 12:31 ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! kat 14/06/2010 | 2:40 you both are besperate! klerly bieberluver 14/06/2010 | 5:22 i agree wit u kat Dalia 14/06/2010 | 7:44 I AGREE MORE WITH YOU!! Trixie 15/06/2010 | 2:31 YOU CANT EVEN SPELL DESPERATE RIGHT… CORRECTION UR DESPERATE! JBlover 14/06/2010 | 3:30 Haile,you're just being plain stupid. You are SOOOOOO totally not a true fan. True fans would let Justin do whatever he wants to do and not send stupid death threats to poor Kim. Even if they were dating for real, which they aren't, you should leave them alone because that's what a true fan would do. And p.s. I wouldn't be talking because I bet you're not even as HALF as pretty as she is… Samyra 14/06/2010 | 4:34 JBlover I so agree with you it is Justin's decision. bieberluver 14/06/2010 | 5:22 i agree with u guys!! biebers gurrl 14/06/2010 | 8:38 exactly i completley agree with you. haile is being stupid if he wants her than he wants its his decision but I think there just friends Samyra 14/06/2010 | 6:21 BTW JBlover she probably isn't as pretty because i haven't met anyone even close to as pretty as Kim and it might sound pothedic but i admit i am not even as pretty as her. Effie 15/06/2010 | 3:28 THAT'S RUDE, AND IF SHE FEELS THAT WAY, OKAY! BUT U HAVE NOOOOOOOOOOO RIGHT TO SAY THAT ABOUT HER,A ND HOW CAN U SAY THAT SHE'S "probably not even as HALF AS PRETTY AS SHE IS"???????????? DONT YOU PUT UR COMMENTS ON THE COMPUTER? AND WHEN U DO, U DONT KNOW WHAT THE PERSON LOOKS LIKE RESPONDING BACK TO YOU!!!!! DONT KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE, I DONT KNOW WHAT U LIKE… WE ALL DONT KNOW WHAT WE EACH OTHER LOOK LIKE… ONLY ONE PERSON AND THAT'S JUSTN BIEBER! SO CORRECTION TO UR COMMENT: UR PROBABLY AS UGLY AS KIM!!!! I'M SORRY! JBlover 16/06/2010 | 12:14 Look Effie, all I was trying to point out is that she isn't a true fan if she gets mad over stupid stuff like that. It is a stupid subject to get mad over. I said that even if they were going out, who in the name of Jesus Christ cares? Justin Bieber is a normal person like all of you, so he has rights. You haters need to understand that. Even Justin got annoyed on Twitter about these so called "fans" who kept sending death threats to Kim. So, can you see my dang fricken' point? Okay? NOW GOOD DAY, MA'AM. hailey 14/06/2010 | 2:06 i wouldn't send death threats to her, cuz that's just stupid! but i don't agree with her kissing up to justin all the time! ilovejustin! 14/06/2010 | 12:09 I'm not hating on Kim or anything, but her dress is so freakin' ugly… I'm sorry, but I really can't stand that dress, looks like it just came out of a trash can!! But I wouldn't ever send her a message or tweet telling her that… Like, the beliebers have to stop sending death threats to any girl/woman that Justin hangs out with. He does have a life and he deserves to live it in peace without having his friends worrying about teenage girls coming to kill them. Like, all of the JB fans wish they could date Justin, right?? So imagine if he started dating you.. Would you like millions of girls telling you that they are coming to kill you if you hang out with Justin again… Of course you wouldn't so stop sending bad messages!! Justin wants a family and kids and one day he is going to find that one special girl that he will spend the rest of his life with and he probably will not appricate hate mail getting sent to her! Sorry about the heaps long comment, but think before you write stuff! And keep supporting Justin!!! 😀 nezy15 14/06/2010 | 1:06 you have the point,kim's attire looks daring and sophisticated.but 4 justin,its normal cuz he's liberated..if they've been together in the beach,well it doesnt mean that bieber wants her..they're just doing their job to make their fans more impressed to them. bethheartzJB 14/06/2010 | 7:17 I have to agree with everything you said from kim's dress to justin's future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bryanna 14/06/2010 | 11:39 i totally agree. i wouldnt send hate mail or threats. that probably make her feel sad and like nobody likes her. i feel bad 4 her cause almost every1 hates her just because she hangs out with jb. i mean come on. he hangs out with lots of other famous girls but u dont hate on them. plus justin is his own independent person, i think hes old enough to make his own desisions. so ppl just kinda clam down, they r probably just friends and nothing more. well i dont want to cause drama so im gonna go now. peace. jb fans r awesome!!!! hailey 14/06/2010 | 2:16 i agree! people shuld give justin a break! i know that his fans love him and all and i'm a fan and i love him too, but he has a life just like everyone else and it's his choice what he does including who he has a relationship with! for me if justin ever did get a girl, sure i would be sad that it wasn't me, but i would still be really happy for him! we all love you justin all the crazy stuff we do is becuase of our love for you! WE LOVE YOU JUSTIN!:) bieberluver 14/06/2010 | 5:23 i agree hailey!!! Mrs.Bieber 4 show 14/06/2010 | 7:10 the 1st commont is like so right what r we gonna do when he gets tht special girl Effie 15/06/2010 | 3:29 UR RIGHT! IT'S ABOUT TIME, PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO SPAEK THEIR MINDS LIKE TRIXIE… nezy15 14/06/2010 | 1:11 you have the point,i donk like kim's attire cuz it looks too much daring..,but for justin,its normal bec.he's liberated..if they've been together in the beach,well it doesnt mean that bieber really wants her..they're just making sweet scenes to make their fans more impressed to them.. vanessa 14/06/2010 | 1:52 Hey guys there is something in JUstin Bieber's hand a ball or something…. vanessa 14/06/2010 | 1:54 I am right… am I??

Episode Title: "The Last Supper"
Writer: Tom Kapinos
Director: John Dahl
Previously on "Californication":
Hank Moody (David Duchovny) had his day in court and it was a f***ing disaster. His best friend Charlie Runkle (Evan Handler) delivered an idiotic masterpiece on the stand that made Hank look incredibly bad in front of the jurors and Hank's former girlfriend Karen (Natascha McElhone) didn't help much either. At the very least, Mia (Madeline Zima) defended Hank and admitted that he didn't know her real age when they slept together and conceded that she had manipulated the situation.
However, Mia's father, Bill Lewis (Damian Young) dropped a bombshell on the court: Hank briefly met Mia before they hooked up in the bookstore. Of course, Hank couldn't remember it because he was so drunk at the time, but Karen was furious at him for that. Even Hank's lawyer, Abby (Carla Gugino) was pissed off because it created doubt in the jury that Hank had no idea he was sleeping with a teenage girl. The damage was done and the outlook for his case seemed grim...
Sometime later, Karen checks her laptop and sees that Hank has been found guilty. She reluctantly shares the news with their daughter, Becca (Madeleline Martin), but Becca would rather brood alone. Outside the courthouse, Abby and Hank are stunned. She and Hank end up drunk and in bed back in her place. Around town, Charlie hears the news and sobs into the shoulder of Stu Beggs (Stephen Tobolowsky). Even Charlie's soon to be ex-wife Marcy (Pamela Adlon) is noticeably unhappy about Hank's verdict.
The next morning, Abby catches Hank trying to sneak away and encourages him to face the music. The first stop on the Hank Moody pity tour is Charlie's house, where he encounters Charlie's latest girlfriend, Peggy (Melissa Stephens) who wants Hank to rape her in a home invasion fantasy. Gross. Charlie gives Hank the 100k for working as a script doctor and he immediately buys a new Porsche to replace the one Becca totaled. He also takes Becca out to stare at planes and escape from reality, but she yells at him for not being a better father and for letting his life go to s***.
Hank finally encounters some sympathy in the arms of his hooker friend, Trixie (Judy Greer). He then has a bizarre dream that places himself and his family in a "Father Knows Best" or "Leave It To Beaver" setting. Waking up alone, Hank gets fed up with his current reality and decides to drive off forever. On his way out of town, he gets a frantic call from Marcy and immediately backtracks to Karen's home. There he finds Karen, Becca, Charlie and Marcy waiting to throw him a surprise party. Charlie remarks that this would have been the "Hank's innocent" party, but they work with what they're given.
The five of them enjoy a last meal together and Becca tells them how good the four adults are together while reminding them that they all blew what they had. After she goes to bed, everyone but Marcy shares a joint and gets high. For a while, things are good between them again. Then at the end of the night, Marcy and Charlie leave. Karen offers Hank one last time in bed, but he turns her down on the idea that it would be incredibly sad. Hank admits that he was going to make a run for it, but now doesn't see any other way forward but to face his immanent sentence.
This was a lot more solid than the last two episodes of "Californication." The humor is still MIA, but at the least the characters were acting like human beings again.
Any episode that doesn't involve Evan Handler taking his clothes off and making me puke is a good thing. Plus, I'm actually starting to detest Peggy more than Charlie at this point. And is that even possible? Every single one of her sexual role-playing outings with Charlie has been disturbing and her latest rape fantasy was also uncalled for. I know this is a Showtime series, but does it have to try so hard to be Cinemax?
Hank's storyline is at least getting interesting again. I wasn't expecting the guilty verdict to come down, especially when Mia was so open about setting him up. Aside from Bill's revelation last week, I felt that Charlie's testimony was what really put Hank away. And that's really sloppy writing from Tom Kapinos. I could have bought everything else about the trial. But that was the bridge too far.
So it was a welcome relief when most of this episode centered on the last night together between the four central characters. It was more than just a reunion, it was like the "Californication" from previous seasons finally showed up. It was undeniably fun to watch Hank, Karen, Marcy and even Charlie just hanging out and enjoying each other's company. When the show works, it's because we like the characters. And for those all-too-brief moments, everyone was likable again.
Hank himself is at his most compelling when he's miserable. And his almost pathetic attempts to get a sympathetic ear even led Trixie to refuse his money! That was a nice touch. The fantasy sequence had some chuckle worthy moments but didn't quite deliver the laughs we needed. Obviously, it's hard to mine comedy out of a statutory rape conviction, but this show badly needs to lighten up. It's becoming a chore to watch.
I'll admit to being curious about how the case will ultimately play out. I can't picture Hank Moody doing any real time. And if he only gets a slap on the wrist than what was the point of this story in the first place?

Well, I'm late posting, so this will be shorter than I had planned.
Several years ago I was at Con Carolinas in my home town of Charlotte. I had just released my first fantasy novel, Act of Will, and was dipping my toe into the convention scene for the very first time. It was all a bit strange and intimidating since I knew no one, wasn't really up on the genre, and knew nothing of the social dynamics of conventions.
But I got lucky.
I met three people there, David Coe, Faith Hunter and Misty Massey. I don't remember how. Maybe we were on a panel together. Maybe we were hawking books in the same hallway. Anyway, we got chatting and hit it off. A month or two later I did my first guest post for Magical Words. A few months after that, I did another, then I was invited […]

Apologies for the late posting. I just got home after a mini book tour in Northern Michigan and have been playing various kinds of catch up. I'm also mired in grading and in working through line edits on Darwen III, but I wanted to tell you a little about the last few days because it was, well… just cool.
The multi-city book tour in which authors fly from place to place and are chauffeured from fancy hotel to book store and back just doesn't make financial sense to most publishers. Sure, it's a way to raise visibility, but unless you have the kind of profile which will guarantee hundreds (or thousands) of sales at each signing, it isn't going to work, and I've heard countless tales of Huge Name Authors showing up at stores to find—for whatever reason—that no one has shown up.
So I was delighted and a little […]

In a couple of weeks the new Hobbit movie will open worldwide, and I have to say, I'm anxious. It's not the kind of thrilled anticipation I felt over the release of the first Lord of the Rings movie (the making of which I had monitored closely for months). That was sheer excitement, this is something closer to simple worry, with a little skeptical bafflement thrown in.
Let me begin with two disclaimers before the goblin hordes start pelting me with angry e-comments:
1. I loved the LOTR movies; I thought they were wonderful imaginings of the novel and remember emerging from the first one ready to line back up to watch it all over again. I was speechless, and felt the kind of deep satisfaction I rarely feel after movies, the kind that makes you want to immerse yourself in the world of the film and live in it. […]

First, thanks to Faith and Misty for switching their schedules with me so I can post on release day!
Today, the second in my middle grades series, Darwen Arkwright and the Insidious Bleck, hits shelves, and I thought I'd tell you something about the high wire act which is writing the second book of a series.
To be clear, this is a second stand alone story in the Darwen universe. There are larger plot lines being developed from book to book, but each volume is its own story with a beginning, middle and end. They are probably richest read in order, but they don't have to be.
Book 1, Darwen Arkwright and the Peregrine Pact, introduced the core characters (Darwen, Rich and Alex) and established their world (Hillside Academy in Atlanta) and the key issue: there are […]

The Noble Art of Hopscotch. Or how to get from one scene to another when you don't know what comes between them.
I have recently emerged from a massive structural edit of my third DARWEN ARKWRIGHT book, and I have to say that it was a tough one, maybe the hardest I've ever done. There were some substantial rethinkings of plot and character which I'd come to, thanks to my excellent editor at Razorbill, but which felt so immense that for a couple of weeks after getting the memo and coming to terms with its rightness, I felt utterly paralyzed.
In the end I think I rewrote about a third of the book entirely, throwing out (or rather cutting and pasting into a separate file) a good 25,000 words and replacing them with the same number of new ones plus another 10,000 for good measure. Even sections I didn't significantly alter got moved around, sometimes dramatically, so that at times the process felt like being in a massive hedge maze, where turns […]

As many of you know, earlier this year I published a novel based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, co-authored with David Hewson. The story was originally released as an audiobook voiced by Alan Cumming and saw print in May. On Friday, November 2nd, David and I will be participating in an event at UNC Charlotte which will feature a staged reading of portions of the book followed by a conversation about collaboration and adaptation. It's free and open to the public, so if you are in town, you should come by.
What this means is that I am currently taking portions of what was once a play but became a novel and turning it back into something like a play, only a very different one. I'm not sure of the format of the event itself yet, but a staged reading is a kind of halfway house, a hybrid of narrative and […]

In the military, one's mandate is to follow the commands (and sometimes the "countermands") of the officers. Doing their bidding is not particularly commendable - it's simply mandatory. The Latin verb mandare, meaning "to entrust" or "to order," is the authority behind "countermand." It's also behind the words "mandate," "command," "demand," "commend" (which can mean "to entrust" as well as "to praise"), and "mandatory." "Countermand" came to English via Anglo French, where the prefix cuntre- ("against") was combined with the verb "mander" ("to command"). It has been a part of our language since the 1400s.

Arizona Cardinals
Kurt Warner: 'Very, very difficult' to gauge quarterbacks
Sorry Arizona Cardinals fans, Kurt Warner is not walking through the proverbial door to save the team.
"I could not do anything for you; I've been sitting on the couch doing nothing for three years," Warner told ESPN Radio's Mike & Mike Friday. "Although people remember me on the football field I know I couldn't do any of that right now."
Warner, who now works as an analyst for the NFL Network, threw for 8,336 yards and 56 touchdowns over his final two years with the Cardinals. He led the Cardinals to a pair of NFC West titles as well as Super Bowl XLIII in his final two seasons as a player.
He retired in January of 2010, though, and the team has struggled mightily to replace him ever since.
Matt Leinart, Derek Anderson, Max Hall, Rich Bartel, John Skelton, Kevin Kolb and Ryan Lindley have all gotten an opportunity to be "the guy", but none have succeeded in the role.
Arizona's failed quest to find a quarterback has led to struggles on the field. The Cardinals, who went 24-18 with Warner as a starter under head coach Ken Whisenhunt, boasted one of the NFL's best offenses with him under center. Since he's left the team, the Cardinals have gone just 17-26.
"That's why it's so difficult to replace top quarterbacks when you expect a certain type of play," Warner said. "We've seen it around the league, when Hall of Fame quarterbacks leave it's very difficult to find that next guy.
"I think one of the reasons is because the expectation is always so high."
The team's struggles to replace Warner underscore the challenge a team has in finding a quality passer. The Cardinals have added options through free agency, the draft and trade, but have yet to find an answer.
"It's a very, very difficult position to gauge before you see somebody behind center in a football game," he said. "You can take a guy in a practice or you can evaluate a guy going into the draft and think you're getting something, and when you put him behind center and put him in some different situations they react completely different than what you expected."

DENVER — Image if the slider was working for Evergreen senior pitcher Dane Kapande on April 23 at D'Evelyn Junior/Senior High School.
Kapande could have very well thrown a no-hitter in the Class 4A Jeffco League game against D'Evelyn. Instead, the Cougars' ace had to settle for a 5-0 victory throwing 6 and 2/3 innings, giving up two hits while striking out 14 batters.
By Chelsy Woods Klein — For the Courier
EVERGREEN — Much like waxing and waning moons, Evergreen's boys swim team has a long and somewhat muddled past, only allowing onlookers to see how brightly it shines when it's in a particular phase.
Construction again is under way on a bike trail along I-70 from Genesee to El Rancho, after a winter hiatus.
The trail is expected to open in early June.
The fencing has been moved, the path is graded, and concrete paving is scheduled to start in the next couple of weeks, said Bob Wilson, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Transportation. Most of the trail will be on land owned by the city and county of Denver.
By Craig Harper — For the Courier
EVERGREEN — It's pick your poison for opponents when it comes to facing Conifer's boys lacrosse team.
The 2016 Lobos returned five players who scored 22-plus goals (three with 42) from the program's first-ever playoff team last season.
Bahl and Kisiel off to The Show
Evergreen's girls basketball coach Amy Bahl and senior Samantha Kisiel will participate in The Show (prep all-star) basketball game 6 p.m. Friday, April 29, at Colorado Christian University in Lakewood. Bahl, who guided the Cougars to the Class 4A state title game, will coach the Blue Team with Lakewood girls coach Chris Poisson. Kisiel was one of 22 girls selected to play. The senior, who averaged 15.3 points per game last season, will play for the Blue Team.
Shutout wins for Cougars
GOLDEN — At first glance, it looked like it might be a rough day at Applewood Golf Course on April 13.
All the Jeffco League girls golf teams descended on the par 71 course for the third conference tournament of the season. With the greens having just been aerated, putting would be a challenge with more sand than grass visible on most greens.
EVERGREEN — After graduating 17 seniors, Evergreen's boys lacrosse coach Toby Gerard carried no false illusions into the 2016 season.
"Two-thirds of (last year's) team is gone, so we knew it was going to be tough," Gerard said.
EVERGREEN — Tony Barnett is enjoying what might be the most successful school year ever for Evergreen High School's athletic programs.
Across the board, the Cougars are sending Barnett out the right way. Evergreen's athletic director will retire at the end of the school year from the Jeffco School District after 14 years as the Cougars' AD.
(Reprinted from April 8, 2009)
The ice went out of Evergreen Lake faster this year than I have ever seen before. One day it was honeycombed, with a few openings along the north and west shore, and the next day it was all open. The long spell of warm weather had weakened the ice, and a windy morning set up water movement, and the ice began to break up fast.

text: Our weather couldn't have been more typical for our first official day of summer. We made it to 89 at Key Field, and Heat Indices were in the mid-and upper 90s this afternoon, with no relief in the form of showers or thunderstorms. Tomorrow's weather looks like a carbon copy of yesterday and today's, and I do think just about all of us will stay dry tomorrow as well, with just a few clouds out there during the late morning and afternoon hours. Rain chances go up slightly for Sunday as our atmosphere will moisten up a little bit, but I think many of us will stay dry, as afternoon showers and storms should be pretty widely spaced. That pattern will continue through the first couple of days next week, and for the foreseeable future, as no organized active weather nor tropical activity is in the forecast for at least the next week. With very little rain in the forecast, our high temperatures should be able to climb into the mid 90s by the mid and later parts of next week.

Teaching voice is one of my favorite activities—learning about the voice, meeting new people, exploring an endless variety of music, experimenting and collaborating to help others find joy and success in making music. I am thrilled to work with such a wonderful group of musicians as those at WCT and look forward to meeting you this year!

My concern is that they specifically say they are using SHIPPING services in their Expedited SHIPPING
CLASS and they charge you as though you are using UPS or FEDEX, then you find out they are using priority mail and charging you 2 times to cost of mail to send packages to you.
1] case in point ordered a scope that weighs less then 12 oz boxed to address in Virginia . they said package would cost 17.00 for expedited shipping. Package was actually sent Priority Mail at a cost of less then 8.00 which included delivery confirmation. Customer is NOT ADVISED of this change by vendor and VENDOR FULLY CHARGES CUSTOMERS CREDIT CARD BEFORE SHIPPING PACKAGES.
2] case in point customer orders item to be sent to CANADA . item weighs less then 9 oz . Item is mailed NOT SHIPPED at a cost of 20.00 plus a additional charge of 20 for miscellaneous fees. Customer is not advised of the fee charges before shipping only of the initial SHIPPING fee of 20.00
Customers are getting systematically ripped off by a vendor who does NOT disclose their practices until AFTER your package is enroute then they tell you they have no way to stop the shipment once they have executed what must be an IN HOUSE POLICY to use mail services for all shipments.
No where on their shipping page on their website is the word 'mail' used. Optics Planet has 141 complaints with the better business bureau over the past 3 years. Yet the 2011 abcnews story proved you can get a A plus rating from the better business bureau by merely paying theur 425.00 fee yearly and on time.

Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy, a 4X board game ported to the iPad by Big Daddy's Creations, is now available from the app store. A deep strategic battle for dominance among alien races, Eclipse is a robust and challenging affair that translates well to the touchscreen.
Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy Pros:
- Fantastic presentation with tons of info at your fingertips
- Interesting soundtrack that matches visuals nicely
- Tap and drag controls are very easy to use
- Local and online multiplayer options
- Deep strategic challenge
Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy Cons:
- Learning curve can be a little steep
- No log of opponent activities makes it difficult to understand what has transpired on opponent turns
As a 4X game, your goals are to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate the competition in turn-based fashion. You can choose to play locally or online against the AI (with multiple difficulty levels available), against human opponents, or against a combination of the two. There are a half-dozen unique races to choose from, each with specific strengths. Games play out over nine rounds, with each round ending only after each player has successively passed his turn. When you do decide to take action, there are six types in which to engage: Exploring, Adding Influence, Researching, Upgrading, Building, and Moving. Exploring allows you to place a new hex on the board adjacent to one of your currently-placed hexes. Hexes can contain color-coded planets, ships, and/or ancient artifacts that allow you to acquire a nice bonus item. Each hex also has a number of wormholes that allow passage between tiles when matched up against wormholes on other tiles. You can spin a dial to alter this orientation when placing a tile. Researching allows you to purchase some form of technology that can later be applied to your ships during an Upgrade phase to enhance their abilities in battle. Building allows for the creation of new ships, of which there are varying types and limits to the number of each that you can have in your fleet. Moving puts your ships in a position to battle other ships once a round ends.
Each action requires the use of money, with a certain amount earned each round based on various factors. You can also earn science and materials resources by colonizing planets. These allow for tech purchases and ship creation. The available research is randomized for each game and new options are added after each round, with way more available than could be fully utilized during a game. Beefing up your ships with cool tech is a great way to add replay value. Each move increases your influence, as does controlling a variety of sectors (hex tiles). The more influence you have, the more money you must pay at the end of the round. It's a form of tax that pushes players toward more balanced play. You can trade in resources or revoke influence from sectors to avoid bankruptcy, as necessary. Battles play out between foes when ships of differing races occupy the same hex. You can choose to attack or retreat. Attacks play out as dice rolls, with high numbers equating to direct hits and low numbers creating misses. Retreating will force you to back out of the occupied sector to an adjoining one. Simply engaging in battle will earn you reputation tokens, while battle success will earn more. These vary in value and contribute to overall Victory Points. The goal of the end game is to come away with the most Victory Points, which includes any sectors controlled at the end of the game, too.
Graphically, the game looks terrific, despite being a bit cluttered given the wealth of options available. The UI does a nice job of tucking away many of the elements in slide-out trays around the screen edges. The color-coded bars for money, science, and materials reside at the screen top, with the influence bar below. Your main action buttons are along the screen bottom, with a slide to pass/end turn ability that incorporates this section nicely. The minor animations are a nice touch (orbiting spheres when colonizing planets, battle scenarios) that could have been static options, though they add a little flavor in an organic way. The space theme looks terrific and there is just a ton of info available at your fingertips at all times. The celestial soundtrack also adds a nice backdrop with music that matches the theme nicely. Controls are tap- or swipe-based and were found to be responsive. They are generally intuitive, and tapping on items will often bring up additional info to assist the player in making decisions.
That's what I gathered, at least, from my first encounter with the game. It can be a little daunting to the newbie, but seasoned Eclipse players should feel right at home. I can see that there is a great game here once I get the hang of it all. I had the same problems with Neuroshima Hex when I first tried that, as its ruleset was also quite involved. Today, it's one of my absolute favorite games and a first-screen staple on my iDevice. In time, Eclipse could share a similar role. Replay value is outstanding and the entire package is very impressive. Eclipse: New Dawn for the Galaxy is an iPad-exclusive title. This 4.5-Dimple title will set you back $6.99, a bargain compared to the physical board game's triple-digit price tag.

I purchased a solar hot water heater from this company and was promised an energy rebate check from the state of Florida. After calling for months about my rebate check, I was told that the stated had run out of money and that I would not receive an energy rebate check. This was the only reason that I agreed to install a solar hot water heater into my home. The contract that I signed with this company also stated that if I did not make payment, they would come and remove the solar hot water heater from my home. Instead, when I refuse to make payments, the company unjustly placed a lien on my home. Currently, my home is in foreclosure and had a pending short sale date of March 1, 2013. This company refused to lift the lien on my home and the buyer has walked away, even after Chase Bank offered to settle the lien for $2,200. Now, my home is going to be sold at auction. It is amazing how many complaints and lawsuits there are floating out there in regards to this company. Why is this company preying on consumers using propaganda such as an energy rebate check and not following through on their promises. I also plan on exposing this company to the Florida Attorney General's office.

Assumptions are as follows:Operating Margins at 68%NVS mLov revenue at $250 M/quarterQ1-2012 Profit Share 45% = $76.5MQ2-2012 Profit Share 45% = $76.5MQ3-2012 Profit Share 11% & 45% = [(135*0.11)+(170-135)*0.45] = $30.5MQ4-2012 Profit Share 45% = $76.5 M

President George W Bush yesterday appealed for Pope Benedict's help in turning Cuba away from communism once Fidel Castro is dead.
The United States wants the Pope to act as an "honest broker" between it and Cuba, helping to defrost decades of enmity.
President Bush arrived for his first audience with the pontiff yesterday morning, choosing to slip into the Vatican through a back entrance to avoid any confrontation with anti-war protesters in St Peter's Square. As he arrived, he was greeted by an escort of Swiss Guards in their striped orange, blue and red uniforms.
President Bush caused raised eyebrows when he addressed the Pope as "Sir" instead of the expected "Your Holiness". The two men sat at a small desk in the Pope's private library to discuss Cuba, as well as the war in Iraq and the plight of Christians in the Middle East.
On his way into the library, the Pope was heard asking President Bush whether his meeting earlier in the week with Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, had gone well. "Umm. I'll tell you in a minute," the president said, eyeing reporters.
Mr Bush's appeal over Cuba came after a leaked memorandum put together by the US State Department warned that the death of Castro could lead to huge instability on the island, as hundreds of thousands of Cuban exiles make the 90-mile journey home from Florida. The Church would be the only point to which all Cubans could look for guidance. Eusebio Mujal-Leon, the head of a pro-Cuba project at Georgetown University in Washington, said: "Bush sees in the Church a way of dragging Havana away from communism, just as it helped in Warsaw."
On Friday, Castro accused the American president of "trying to deceive the Pope by pretending that the war in Iraq does not exist and is not about oil".
Before he set out on his European tour, President Bush said that he and the Holy Father both shared "the value of universal liberty" and insisted that he would be "in listening mode" during his half-hour papal audience.
The Vatican declined to comment specifically on Cuba, but said the two men had discussed "the large ethical and social questions concerning people worldwide". Before the door was closed on their meeting, bystanders heard Mr Bush tell the Pope that the G8 summit had been "a success".
The president gave the Pope a "Moses" walking stick, made by a former homeless man in Dallas, Texas, who engraved it with the Ten Commandments.
The Pope used the meeting to discuss what the Vatican called "the worrying situation in Iraq", telling Mr Bush he would like a "regional and negotiated" solution to Middle East conflicts, including the war in Iraq.
According to the Vatican, the two men discussed Africa, particularly the conflict in Darfur, and Latin America. They also covered "ethical and religious issues", including human rights, freedom of religion, "the defence and promotion of life, marriage and the family, the education of new generations and sustainable development". The president's itinerary in Rome was revised because of fears for his safety as thousands of anti-war protesters filled the city.
President Bush had planned to walk around Trastevere, after hearing about its charms from his daughter Barbara, but the American embassy persuaded him to abandon the trip, pointing out that the presidential cavalcade of more than 40 vehicles would not fit in the area's tiny cobbled streets.
About 30,000 carabinieri, or military policemen, were mobilised to protect the president. Helicopters and fighter jets patrolled over the city, while boats cruised up and down the Tiber.
Relations between Italy and America are low after Italy's withdrawal from Iraq. Washington is also upset at the trial in their absence of 26 CIA agents in Milan for kidnapping a Muslim cleric and at protests over its new military base in Vicenza.

If you were to pay for it outright, a fully upgraded ship(called goliath) with fully upgraded equipment will cost you thousands of dollars on this video game even with these thousands invested it will take a player due to production time maybe a few days to get 'ready to play'.
Very few people if any go this rout.
There are two other routs that people take:
1. they spend those thousands over a few months in an event called 'mega happy hour', and get fully upgraded at a third the 'regular price' this way will still cost you over 500 dollars
2. the free to play way(well I spent very little in this last 1.5 years) in-fact I have spent the last year or so only spending money (which I regret) on a premium package and a piece of equipment(less than 100 dollars). I figure with my course load and other duties it will take me another year to get fully upgraded. This can be done for free but due to the 'bait and switch' I did pay for a premium advantage pack.
The most recent complaint 'bait and switch' is about a piece of gear in the game that gave the individual player a great advantage that would have made significantly faster their road to 'fully upgraded'. This is where a LAWYER MIGHT WANT TO PAY ATTENTION. In order to use this gear called kamikaze effectively the player needed to purchase premium advantages. The general consensus is that the effect that gave people such great advantage was a flaw with the original gear and should have been fixed from the outset. This did not happen. In fact I was skeptical that this kamikaze would continue unfettered, so I waited to see if it was fixed. It wasn't, in fact it took months for it to be fixed. My contention and please bigpoint correct me if I'm wrong is that the statistical distribution of premium purchases was falling off (on the right side of the curve) when the 'flaw' was finally fixed. This is fine. They wanted to milk this for all it was worth, I get that, and I enjoyed the benefits from it. When it came time for me to get a pro-rated refund on the remaining time on my premium package I was told no because of the nature of the premium advantages not being affected; this is clearly wrong as I only purchased the premium advantages for the kamikaze gear.
This is the complaint: After their inaction in fixing a 'flaw' the result being the purchase of premium, they wouldn't give me a pro-rated refund when they finally did fix the flaw. This practice was inept at best or devious at worst, I do not know, nor do I care which it was. I only want a pro-rated refund on my premium advantages.

Ok that was the most recent complaint.
The general flavor of the game for some time has been that of a 'skinner box'. It sounds crude, but does have a significant impact on people who play games. Positive reinforcement on a schedule that keeps the compulsion to play going. On a small level I have no problem with this but when it comes down to it, my opinion of this is that it is straight out gambling. Please remember that this is a space shooter and as such CHILDREN play it whether or not the rules say they can.
For instance there is a device in game called a galaxy gate generator for which you get a 13% chance of getting a gate part. The most parts in any single gate is 128 pieces, and if you get a piece that has been already put on the board you get a multiplier. What this does is take that 13% and turn it into something like 4% on average.. nothing definite with multipliers because of the nature of them. In the end this galaxy gate will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of 1270 to 2600 spins to complete, it really plays out like a slot machine. Where a spin could cost you anywhere between 1 and 3 pennies per spin depending on how you purchased your uridium(its usually 1 penny to most shrewd consumers).. It might even be free if you 'worked' for it for a few hours. The following link is a statistical analysis of galaxy gates done by one of our more bright players: http://en.board.bigpoint.com/darkorbit/showthread.php?p=2469445#post2469445
The next instance of what in my opinion is gambling is booty keys. It does sound odd and like something out of a pirates of the Caribbean movie, but it is real and does cause a significant amount of angst in the community of players for Dark Orbit. This key costs 1500 uridium(12.5-50cents) per and it takes somewhere around 100-250 of them to get a piece of equipment necessary to achieve that 'fully upgraded' status. You need anywhere from 35-45 of these pieces to be fully upgraded. The disturbing thing about this seeming gamble is that there are no odds. It seems that the odds can be changed up to suit the needs of the business at any time.
The final bit of what I think in my opinion is gambling is just plain old bonus boxes. These little beasties seem to have no set probability distribution with respect to uridium, and can change just like the booty keys with the needs of the company. The great thing about bonus boxes is that it only costs time to get them. There is still a dark side here other than the reinforcement of addictive behaviors. It seems that if you collect a set sum of these bonus boxes in a set amount of time a 'cheater' script will catch you and will cost you possibly thousands of hours or dollars in game benefits depending on whether or not you paid. The net result is that bonus boxes are looked on by honest players as fruit of the forbidden tree and are picked up with great care and most of the time not at all.
I have outlined for you in this complaint that the company BigPoint has some big problems, but still has a game that is worth playing because of the community and the players involved. I would caution anyone getting into this game to be very careful with what they spend on it. If you get into this game its like jumping into a snake pit(you may get bitten), but other than that its fun:)
