Take Two Sues Jack Thompson
And the publisher comes out swinging with haymakers!
GamePolitics is reporting that the hunted has now become the hunter, as Take-Two has filed a lawsuit to prevent ol' JT from meddling with and potential blocking the sale of Grand Theft Auto IV and Manhunt 2 when they release later this year.
Take-Two outlines in the suit (PDF) that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has a history of blatantly threatening legal action (and also, losing) against publishers, developers, and retailers in the past. The legal document also goes on to state that JT is almost "a private attorney general on behalf of the State of Florida" given his attempts to censor Take-Two and Rockstar by having the games declared public nuisances.
This isn't a surprising move, given that Take-Two probably wants to streamline the legal process because you know JT would have sued them eventually. This just speeds up the process, and helps with the eventual disbarment of everyone's favorite bark, but not bite Floridan attorney.

Why isn't he disbarred yet?Posted: Mar 21, 2007 12:00AM PST by kazuo
Seriously, why the hell isn't he? Goddammit, I am sick and tired of reading about this bastard. Hell, people are even dragging his name into only semi-related topics. *sigh* That said, I hope that Take Two wins, as they have a hell of a case, thanks to He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named's own narcissism and apparent Tourettes* both in and out of court. Besides, Take Two has lost considerable amounts thanks to him, so I understand attempting to recoup that loss. *No offense intended to people with Tourettes. I just couldn't think of another word for it.
finally, somebody shut him upPosted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by gamedude894
hey Jack, you know about this thing called the First Ammendment? Its this thing that says people can publish anything they want! crazy, huh? well, apparently you never figured that out. if you could just give up getting games banned, you would save yourself lots of money and maybe get some friends at the same time, as you already have NO friends.
I feel sorry for Jack JohnsonPosted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
I'm not a big fan of his music, but his album sales have probably dropped since this cumshot gained publicity. Sorry to all you Jack Bronsons, Zack Thompsons, and Mac Ronsons out there.
You know what's even more awesome about this?Posted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by naznatips
Every gamer on the planet is united in hatred of this guy. No one cares what system you play, who your favorite company is, or what your favorite game is. Regardless of these factors: Jack Thompson is a douche.
WOWPosted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by Husky_Gamer360
Its about time somebody get rid of Jackass Thompson, karma can be a bitch. It can be a little sad cuz everything he does is hilariously stupid and all that will end. He'll probably end up in an looney bin and mumbles to himself about how evil videogames is.
It'll serve him right.Posted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by Serraxor
This guy has already had his legal license revoked in at least one state for unacceptable legal practices. Ouch. This time He's on the Business end of a lawsuit that will hopefully bury him for good. I'm behind Take Two 300% to kick his sorry ass.
AlrightPosted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by Inuyasha-SIT
That guy is more of an annoyance than anything Good job take two. I think they should file harassment charges too because hes pretty much harassed the company.
Sounds like a good casePosted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by DELTAsnake
There are a number of laws against filing malicious and nuisances law suites. R* should be able to at least get a restraining order.
definitley somthingPosted: Mar 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by GeorgieBoysAXE

take two suing JT is awesome. way to go guys! I don't understand why he doesn't just give up already, I don't think he's won a single one of his cases...
I concur bigred837Posted: Mar 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by PaskaPants
Make it look enough like the a-hole so we know who it is, but enough not like him so he wouldn't file a lawsu- wait! sorry, for a second, I forgot who we were chatting about...

Dun! Dun! Dun!Posted: Mar 18, 2007 12:00AM PST by Addicted-2-games
And the drama of the novel like real life of JT continues! Seriously, JT is like Voldemort, he whose name must not be mentioned, his antics are getting stale, it's not funny anymore after the first eighty Fucking times and he's being a pain in the ass.
the problem-Posted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by bustedknuckles
it is not the multi-billion dollar industry that jack is after. it is the smaller companies that are more like individuals with a lot of cash. Acclaim went outta buisiness quite quikly as cash dwindled. it is his hope this happens to those of whom he is against.
About damn time..Posted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by James_xeno
someone puts this idiot in his place!
Parents are retardedPosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by jexkjy5
Parents need to start setting limits and blocks on there consoles. If parents actually gave a shit and didn't let their kids play violent games, then there would be no reason to ban games like grand theft auto. Even though Jack Thompson is a fuck face it is still the lazy parents fault as well
Be CarefulPosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Knoopdog
I realize every gamer on the planet has a major beef with JT, but you're only proving him right if you go around saying you're going to kill him and just plain cuss him out. That's what he wants, to prove were nothing but anti-social freaks with murderous agendas. So while anger is an okay thing, keep it respectable so we can show him were good people. Some of you might say that he doesn't show us respect, so why should we? Well, think about it. If we are the ones coming out of this looking like hardworking, honest, and respectable citizens, then Jack with his ranting about crazy stuff like game violence will be potrayed as the idiot.
I know he's not going to be reading this, but..Posted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by GarrettW
I'll use my GTA and Manhunt skills to kill Jack Thompson if this keeps up! Honestly, though, why does anyone let this asshole into their courtroom? He's a waste of time, resources, and law school degree. You're a P.O.S., Jack Thompson, I hope you die in the comfort of your own dark corner of the earth. And may your entire family die of cancerous lesions of the face. Did I mention you're a P.O.S.? Yeah, I think we've covered that.
YES! finallyPosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by Predator1015
i really hope take two wins. good job of them taking the fight to HIM.
ThompsonPosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by JBR_Jabronie_Man
If you look at wikipedia you'll see all of the craptastic cases Thompson has filed and lost. If you have access to change the Thompson Wiki page, please delete everything and just post a picture of someone at the special Olympics, because Jack Thompson is retarded.
I'm confusedPosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by TBIRallySport
You guys (by which I mean 1Up) seem determined not to use his name, but then it's right there in the title of this article.
Jackass Thompson can go to hell!Posted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by N027
I really don't know what's up this guys ass, but Im really getting sick of him and his stupid video game laws. I really wonder if he was picked on as a kid, it would explain why he wants to take video games away. He's just another greedy lawyer looking to exploit a profitable company and take something away that so many people enjoy. #$@# off Thompson!

"The Best Defence is a Good Offence!" Ya know who said that? Mel the cook on Alice. Take Two gets a power-up for that move.
i love this-Posted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by bustedknuckles
the fact that this "lawyer" is getting sued for being so damn sue happy and trouble stirring makes me soooo happy. this should have happened long ago.
Put him in a gamePosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by aplusjimages
When will we see JT as a big boss in GTA?
Good Move!!!Posted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by FireEmblemMaster
This is definetly a good move for Take-Two, JT is a bad lawyer anyway and he thinks he can sue everyone just because he's a lawyer!!! Too bad Jacky boy, you can't sue everyone
RE:AszsithPosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by MicroGates
That is an awesome idea! Maybe in the mission you have to run him off the road and then set him on fire, then the camera pans away as you hear your character pissing on him to put him out. That would rock! ;)
Good movePosted: Mar 17, 2007 12:00AM PST by ArtiZt
The video game industry has all the right of artistic freedom as any other form of media entertainment out there. These people might as well sue everyone else that create violent, sexual or offensive content considering there will always be people who'll blame their dumbass actions on them.

Can lick my you know what! I say every gamer, in the world, has the right to pwn teh n00b known as JT! I heard he has level 4 armor, so beware!
TazJere has a decent theory BUT...Posted: Mar 16, 2007 12:00AM PST by sharktastic
... A better, more competent lawyer wouldn't waste his or her time pestering game developers/publishers/retailers/etc. He or she would more likely concern themselves with more authentic lawmaking. They'd have bigger fish to fry, or in this case, bigger ambulances to chase.
The problem with this is...Posted: Mar 16, 2007 12:00AM PST by TazJere
(And Penny Arcade has pointed it out a couple of times) that JT (Not to be confused with the other JT who's bringing sexy back...) is very incompetent. His removal would only allow someone who is possibly intelligent to take his place and start beating gaming companies. So far, idiocy has prevented the gaming industry from losing anything... and in all actuality, JT has helped the gaming industry (namely Rockstar and Take-Two) because people want to play "forbidden" and "naughty" games. If you're not supposed to see/play something, it makes most people want to even more. How many GTA III and Vice City games were sold because this idiot tried banning them?

Thats the old fashioned style "stickin it to the man". It just sucks that he-who-must-not-be-named is from Florida. I live in Florida and the dude is giving us a bad rep. We already get all those damn old people jokes, we dont need JT also.
JT?Posted: Mar 16, 2007 12:00AM PST by Huricos
I don't like the fact that He-who-shall-not-be-named is now referred to by his(make that "its") initials. I prefer initials that cannot link back to its name. Like AF or CM and even then I would prefer the initials to be lowercase to demean it even more. So yay, cm is being sued!
Yay!Posted: Mar 16, 2007 12:00AM PST by eminus_jewett
Now if EVERY company pitches in and helps sue He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named-On-1up.com. lolz.

"Bellemare's beyond-her-years vocal work-evoking the fragile,elegiac croon of Billie Holiday."—Eugene Weekly
Verve Records is set to release Genevieve Bellemare's debut EP Live And Die on August 5. Bellemare collaborated over a 10-month period of time writing with well known producers Mitchell Froom (Paul McCartney) and Tony Berg (Lucius, Nicklecreek). Listen to the premiere of the title track "Live And Die." Listen Here!
Berg said of working with Bellmare, "Genevieve approaches writing—and music, in general—from a uniquely spontaneous and soulful place. She has an unerring sense of what feels right for her, so collaborating is strangely (and often hilariously) devoid of indecision. She says 'yes' or 'no' and that confidence informs everything she does. It's refreshing to meet someone whose melodic and lyrical instincts are so completely her own." Froom says XXXX.
The French Canadian born Bellemare has told the Eugene Weekly that she grew up with "church music all the time" until her older brother introduced her to the classic sounds of mid-seventies FM radio artists. She was also introduced to jazz by her mother and began to hunger for more. After settling in Oregon, at age seventeen Bellemare won a "Next Big Thing Eugene" contest and formed the band Voodoun Moi. Local music director, Brandon Lieberman at KBOO in Portland said of the band, "If I could have only called a broker to buy stock in Genevieve, I would have immediately grabbed all the shares I could!"
She moved to Los Angeles to work on new solo based material. She has said, "the writing process for nearly all of her songs is the same." After going through drum loops with the producer, Bellemare says, "I go into the booth and I record a bunch of mumbles and shrieks…then I go back into the room with the producer and we pull out things we like."

The limited display space on the iPhone presents an concerning quandary for developers. One way of doing it is to take a lot of the control away. Naturally, you run the risk of switching your game into a spectator sport, but if you handle to pull it off you can end up with a fun, intuitive game.
That's the approach that Noodle-cake Studios has selected for Lunar Racer, and when there are however some niggles with game play the control system creates for some exciting, moon-depended shenanigans. The game is a 2D slope-on racer that pits you against three other competitors in low gravity dashes about some of the most famous moons in the solar system.
Your forward momentum is controlled for you, hence all you require to worry about are tricks, boosts, and using your gravity drive to suck you rear down to on the lunar landscape later you've performed an enormous leap. You press the left-hand slope of the display to activate your gravity drive and the right-hand slope to activate your nitro. Leaning your device allows you perform rear flips and front flips, which allow you surplus nitro, even correcting your landing position.
You will receive rockets, shields, mines, and surplus nitrous boosts from stations positioned about the moon, and you can use these by tapping a button in the middle of the bottom edge of the screen. Races are fast and furious, with a good deal of forcing and thrusting from your computer-controlled opponents. You have to equilibrate out your nitro-fuelled bursts of speed with flips and long jumps to create sure you don't run out of cherished rocket fuel towards the end of the race.
In terms of content, there are ten different tracks, every with an amateur race and a much tougher pro race to beat. Every track even has three different tasks, and if you complete them you're taken to a bonus level full of Moon Bux, the game's currency. You can spend your Moon Bux on climbs for your vehicle, becoming it into a lean, mean, race-winning machine. There's local multiplayer also, which allows you and up to three friends race it out above wi-fi or Blue-tooth.
When Lunar Racer is a good polished creature, it doesn't rather acquire its balancing right. There are some cruel trouble spikes, and the AI characters are a little also underhand from the begin, going away novel players queered and win-less.

'Follow Me' to be notified of new patterns and project updates!
My name is Elena Nodel, and I am a mom to a very industrious, busy, ever curious and adventurous little girl. She is my ever present inspiration for all my creative ideas. As she grows, she becomes more and more involved in my creative work, and actually does have a say in a final look of any given project. I have a Girly Girl, thus most of my designs are very feminine. However, lately I have started working on more unisex projects.
I was born and raised in Russia, a place where knitting is a part of the lifestyle. I now live in British Columbia, Canada, one of the most beautiful countries in the world. I am a trained microbiologist/immunologist , and have spent years doing scientific research. I am married to a like scientist, and his name is Peter. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful and supportive husband, and Maya is very lucky to have a father who constantly encourages her natural curiosity, and teaches her about the world around her - she has him wrapped very tightly around her little finger!
I love working with natural fibers such as cotton or wool, and always try to use them.One thing I don't like doing is seaming, therefore I knit in the round as much as possible. It is great for me and comfortable for kids. And as a result, I usually design my garments to be worked in the round from the top down.
Dare to follow?
Sea Princess jacket is part three of my "Back to the Sea" collection of all season garments.
The jacket is entirely seamless and is knit from top down. I have provided links to all the relevant tutorials and techniques, so if you are not familiar with any of them, here is your chance to try, and succeed.
The back length is determined by the cable set for each size, and is measured from the top of the collar to the end of the hemline.
You will have lots of options to choose from: Short or long sleeves; elaborate or simple cables; garter or seed stitch bands and hem; wide or narrow button bands. Choose your options then follow the instructions for your style.
This pattern has two different versions (both are included):
Pages 1-18: DK: 6m - 9 year old (17-26" chest)
Pages: 19-36: Worsted: 1-14 year old (20-30" chest)
Pages 37-56: Cable Charts (print only pages for your size)
The pattern itself has a variety of options as well as detailed cable charts for each size.

Funding Canceled
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on April 16, 2014.
Fly high in the sky and hijack other players' vehicles mid-air. A fighter hi-jacking game from the creators of No Time To Explain.
Funding for this project was canceled by the project creator on April 16, 2014.
Hi everyone!
Some interesting news which we hope is as exciting for you as it is for us.
During the Game Developers Conference (GDC) and the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX East) - We found an investor to assist tinyBuild in expanding our development and publishing efforts. Because of the time it will take in bringing our new partners up-to-speed and hiring on additional people for JetGetters we have decided to cancel the Kickstarter. The main reason for this is because we feel strongly that if we promise something, we better damn well deliver on it and with the few month delay we won't be able to deliver JetGetters this year.
We have a reputation to uphold and don't want to be lumped in with all the other kickstarters that have been delayed and or abandoned. Being up front and honest about everything is always what we strive for.
As mentioned above, JetGetters will still be coming out, but with a 2015 release date. What this means to you as backers is that you get to keep all your money and will still get to play JetGetters in the future!
We've also gone one step further and will be rewarding everyone with the $51 tier (all 7 of tinyBuild's games). Three of them are already released (No Time To Explain, Not The Robots and SpeedRunners). The rest will be awarded as they get released. Please use link you got in your backer e-mail up to claim them. We'll e-mail them to you in the next couple of days as Steam keys.
Speaking of No Time To Explain, during PAX East we also made a deal with Xbox to bring a remake of it to Xbox One. We'll have more on that later.
Super excited about all of this. Thanks everyone for your support! It's not really a standard situation, and while we'd like to take your money, there's an opportunity to give back to the community after our first Kickstarter, and we'd love to take it!
Team tinyBuild
Luke, Tom, Alex
A game about jumping out of jets, and surfing on other jets. A fastpaced 3D multiplayer shooter, where teams of players fly high in the sky and hijack each other's vehicles in midair.
Coming to PC/Mac/Linux on Steam
We are proud to announce that because of a partnership with Ouya, we will be able to release both on Ouya and Steam at launch, and have lowered all the console stretch goals by $10-15k. Ouya is a great partner and subsidizes development costs, making our network code more cross-platform and enabling JetGetters to go to consoles easier.
Ouya will match $50k of pledges, most of which we want to invest into a solid network back-end, and towards making easier console versions of JetGetters.
Having class-based multiplayer is a good opportunity to show off a fun list of characters, and spread a deep list of features and player abilities out across separate, digestible play sessions instead of asking players to learn everything at once.
JetGetters is a new type of game, and right now we're considering 4 game modes. This might change and evolve, and we hope the community will help us decide what to keep, add, or remove.
Two teams fight each other until one reaches a certain amount of deaths/kills.
Both teams need to crack open the other's base, steal their golden jet, and escort it back home in one piece.
There's one flag. Everyone needs to grab it. Everyone needs to kill whoever has the flag. You get points for holding the flag longest.
Blue team holds a giant flying stronghold, Red team must destroy it from the inside! The blue team must defend their base with mounted turrets, traps and cannons.
Any user can jump into a deathmatch game and fly around shooting down as many of the other team as possible. For players with a better understanding of how to play, though, there would also be scripted levels available with more engaging rule-sets and twists.
Example scripted level
The game has been in pre-production for a year. We have worked out all of the design in prototype, and how it'll look. Think a very tropical Team Fortress, over the ocean, with red and blue fighter jets. We do not yet have a final "visual" for the game. As you can see, the trailer doesn't have shadows and is more cartoony, while the .gifs on this page have shadows and are a bit more serious. We hope the community will help us decide what's best during development.
More concept art and behind the scenes stuff will be released to backers.
$10 Treasure Chest
$25 High Bounty
$26 Speedy Secret Stash (only 500 spots!)
$50 Secret Stash
$51 Speedy Treasure Island (only 500 spots!)
$100 Treasure Island
$500 Pirate King
Also artist & developer on No Time To Explain, artist & animator on SpeedRunners. Previously developer of 30+ hilarious web games. Tom moved to the Netherlands from the UK after the release of No Time To Explain.
Also producer on No Time To Explain and SpeedRunners. Previously creator of www.A10.com, a site for web games; was a games journalist for 8 years before moving from Latvia to the Netherlands.
Doug worked at Guerilla Games for the past decade and was the senior game designer on titles like Killzone 2, Killzone 3, and most recently Killzone Shadowfall.
In june he is going indie and if we are funded, will join the team as the consulting game designer!
Luke previously built Casual Connect - a leading games conference currently known for the IndiePrize Showcase. He is experienced in keeping everyone else on the team sane-ish.
We will use the Kickstarter funds to hire development & 3d animation talent. Currently 3D animations are done by Matthijs Verkuijlen who is interning with us, and we'd love to hire him. Meanwhile Wytze de Groot is porting No Time to Explain to Unity and will switch to JetGetters when that's done. We need several more in-house people to pull it off, along with external contractors.
We've got a large office space in Hilversum, heart of the Dutch film industry. Amsterdam is 20 minutes away, Utrecht is 15 min.
The dev team is located here, while Marketing is handled in Seattle. Luke's in Seattle full-time, while Alex travels back and forth.
With No Time To Explain we learned a couple of things.
1. It's extremely important to invest into solid technology. This is why we're using Unity - it's a very powerful cross-platform development environment with great support for multiplayer games. We have already built a prototype that proves we can pull it off.
2. Distribution is king. We have a good relationship with Valve right now, and have already discussed this game concept. Unlike No Time To Explain, JetGetters will launch on Steam and will be integrated from the get-go.
Some technical details on JetGetters:
Arguably the best part about No Time To Explain was the soundtrack. Our composer MrFuby is back to create an original soundtrack for JetGetters! We already have plenty of unreleased drafts for it might sound like, and $50-tier backers will get to hear all of it, and hear our thoughts on why some of it is great, some isn't.
JetGetters is a game that hasn't really been done before. We're not trying to follow a trend, or have any proven examples of similar games. Just Cause 2 is a single player game (with a fun yet hectic multiplayer mod), meanwhile Battlefield 3/4's crazy stunt moments are done by accident. Nobody really designed a game around stealing each other's jets mid-air. It's also a big game with lots of 3D animation/modeling/rigging work.
We feel like Kickstarter is the best place to make JetGetters possible, because it was built to make crazy, ambitious projects happen. JetGetters is both crazy and ambitious.
NOTE -- Game design is iterative, so classes may change, game modes might change, etc. Bringing out the best in JetGetters is important to us, so we will cut ideas that aren't as fun in-game as they are on-paper. This is one of the reasons we are not doing stretch goals. It will be great to get more funding for the project, but we learned from past experiences that it's always best to leave space for iteration.
Double Our Fun(ds)!
We're participating in OUYA's #FreeTheGames Fund, created by OUYA to support developers making new and creative console games. OUYA will match your pledge dollar-for-dollar up to your goal amount (and a max of $250,000), so help us get there and make a great game for everyone! To be eligible for this match, we commit that this game will be an OUYA exclusive for a period of time. To learn more about OUYA, go to www.OUYA.tv.
Like with any game development project, there are risks. Fortunately this is not the first time we're doing a Kickstarter for a game, and not the first game we're developing. There's experience involved.
The biggest risk is network code stability. We have done several online games and prototypes before - just to get a hang of how it works, and hired a dedicated person for online coding. What we don't want is have a choppy, laggy experience. This means timelines might shift. Right now we estimate a 6-month development cycle, since most of the ground work is done. However if it takes longer, we will not rush, and make sure it shapes into a good game.
We have several games live on Steam - No Time To Explain (developed by us) and SpeedRunners (co-developed with DoubleDutch Games), Not the Robots (from 2DArray), and more coming up. Our business model is based around own-development, and teaming up with other indies.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
The game will cost around $20 on release
As a placeholder, we will put 20 player matches. It may be slightly more, or slightly less, depending on how the beta tests go. We expect the beta testers to help make a lot of tough game design decisions.
We expect a 6 month development cycle for the game, so launch around this Holiday Season. This is of course optimistic and can shift.
With the closed beta though, we expect to start that as early as summer. We want to deeply involve the community in it, and showoff the game with glory at PAX Prime.
We're using Unity and JetGetters will release on Windows/Mac/Linux on Steam
We came up with the idea back in 2012, right before releasing No Time To Explain on Steam. It came from Tom playing Just Cause 2, and Alex playing Battlefield 3. Both were sharing gifs from their respective games and decided to merge that into a game of our own!

Cummins immediate playing future doubtful, injury strikes again
Submitted by Rajiv Dhoot on Thu, 11/01/2012 - 07:42
Sydney, Nov 1 : Teenage pace sensation Patrick Cummins has admitted his immediate playing future was "up in the air" after he was sent to have scans on a possible back injury that again threatens to sideline him during Australia's Test summer.
Cummins, 19, had scans on Wednesday after reporting soreness upon his return from South Africa, where he played a key part in the Sydney Sixers'' Champions League Twenty20 triumph.
He was not chosen for the Australian squad of 12 for the first Test against the Proteas in Brisbane next week.
Cricket Australia selectors were thinking of including him for the third Test in Perth, The Sydney Morning Herald reports.
Cummins said: "The scans aren''t too conclusive at the moment,'''' Cummins said. ''''We''ll know more in the next couple of days . at this stage it is still up in the air . I''ll go and see the physio but I think we''ll know more by Friday.
"I had a pretty clear goal for the season this morning but right now it''s kind of changed and I''m not sure now, but I want to play some red-ball cricket. I haven''t done that for a while and I''m really keen for it. Right now [in terms of goals] I want to play as many games as possible and just enjoy playing."
Cummins was not able to play throughout Australia's campaigns against New Zealand and India at home last season after injuring his heel during his remarkable debut Test in Johannesburg.
Cummins has been plagued by injury in the past year and was flown home from Australia's one-day tour of England in June after sustaining a side strain in the first match at Lord's. (ANI)

Family friendly
I have lived at Mussey Grade Village park for the past few months and by far my stay has been the best time of my life. Every one in the park is supper friendly and willing to help a nieghbor in a time of need. The management fixes any problem that i have in a timely manner. They are very big on family friendliness and do a great job to screen out all the bad apple to make the park very kid friendly and safe. I would highly recommend this park to any one looking for a safe and friendly place to live.
Hidden Gem
This is a great RV park, with all the amenities you need, tucked into the beautiful hills of San Diego County. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the park is well maintained with mostly permanent residents. We stayed for a month (we're two professional athletes who were looking for an RV park close to the riding, running and swimming areas of Poway) and we loved it! Nice, long-term places to stay are few and far between in the area, and Mussey Grade is a real find!

Well thought out post, and I totally agree with you. Good job, but please stop changing fonts within one post. Its killing my eyes.
There always has, and I believe, always will be an unattractive social stigma attached to being a Nerd. Society has often shunned these usually misunderstood peoples as being Shy, anti-social, obsessive weirdoes who lack a focused life-goal and strong work ethic. They are looked down upon as being sluggish oafs who simply do not belong with the crowd, no matter what that crowd may be.
Before I continue any further, allow me to explain to you exactly what I believe a Nerd to be.
A nerd is somebody who will hawk a videogame website on a daily basis, just hoping for that one time he or she will log on and read HALO 3 PREVIEW: Will Halo 3 be the greatest installment yet? Read our highly in-depth preview to find out. [Oh man, I kind of get all tingly all over just thinking about it.]
A nerd is that guy/girl who knows not only the lyrics, but also choreography of both Knights of the Round Table and The Manly Men songs.
A nerd is the single nicest, considerate, and consistently helpful individual you could ever meet. A nerd will never exclude you from our Counter-Strike LAN Parties, we would never consider leaving you out of a discussion of Light/Dark side powers while waiting in line for the next installment of Star Wars, and we are always there with a smile on our faces and a controller in our hands, just ready to whoop some monkey-ass at some Marvel vs Capcom. A nerd will not sleep with your girlfriend/boyfriend.
However, what truly stands as the most shining paragon of nerdiness, the one facet of this lifestyle that stands as the benchmark of the nerds character, is their immovable and unerring dedication to being Just another nerd. To further support my argument, I would like to display to the world the following philosophy, which is a code by which every nerd lives by in his or her own unique fashion: There is but one goal in life, and that is to be as happy as possible, with only one exception: This happiness cannot interfere with another beings state of happiness.
Now that you fully understand just what a nerd is, it is time that I take the cards you have so painstakingly set up concerning your opinion of these misinterpreted persons and strike down upon them with great vengeance and furious anger. The first thought that always crosses mind when discussing nerds would easily be their life. To be more precise, society's idea concerning their lack there-of. Ive heard it before, "Well, at least I have a life/girlfriend/friends!" or "Shouldn't you be outside instead of stuck in here like a loser? Go outside every once in awhile you hermit crab" or maybe my favorite, "I feel sorry for you, it must suck only having videogames to make you happy" Okay, since when did I say ONLY videogames make me happy? Why is it that I must be labeled lonely or "life-less" because my hobby is chilling on my bed whilst enjoying owning noobs and eating pizza instead of shopping at the mall wondering which nail polish will match my earrings
Tell me, why can't I be a girl gamer who isn't fat and pimply, who can wear normal clothes, and who can enjoy a chick flick AND an action-packed mindless macho movie? Even more so, why can't those girls who ARE fat and pimply be left alone to her gaming world??? What is so wrong with that? Why can't I, Marisa, appreciate a high-score more then a diamond necklace? Just because I don't like talking on the phone for hours about boys does not make me a traitor to the girl world. I was born and raised a gamer and damn it, I'm sticking to it.
Just because everyone says that over the age of 20 you have to have a 9-5 job and live a mediocre life, does not make it true! If anything, we are the exception. We are that last bit of light and fun in a world filled with up-tight butt wads. Maybe we don't want to be just another spot of gray in the colorless sea of boring, maybe we want to be who we are truly inside. If being normal means conforming to having a life zapped of fun and eating dinner at 6:00 every night while watching the news, then, YOU CAN HAVE IT! I DON'T WANT TO BE NORMAL IF THAT'S THE CASE! Call us weirdos all you want but if you ask me, someone who can't enjoy the sweet taste of life and live it to the fullest is the TRUE weirdo.
Let me get this straight, because I happen to enjoy videogames more then the other girl, or because a good time with me is watching re-runs of Star Trek with the mute on so that me and my friends may ad-lib the lines in a humorous manner, or even because I opted to stay home one night to play online Co-Op Smash TV on XBL, I dont have a life? Wrong.
Us nerds are capable of showing a guy/girl to a homemade romantic candle-lit dinner, just as capable as I am of taking him to play Laser Tag and blowing 40dollars worth of quarters at an arcade. To me, either situation is equally appealing. Simply because I have a poster featuring Solid Snake adorned with a crocodile cap creeping through a swamp posted proudly upon the most visible position on the western wall of my room does not mean that I am no stranger to any situation, especially to that of dating. We can flirt, woo, seduce, and make love just as good if not better then you. My 100 uper Mario 64 completion has no deterrence on this fact.
I apologize for the temperamental presentation of the prior segment, but as a nerd, I have to struggle to prove to people that I can be a human being, with that so called "life" you so obviously flaunt, while also being one hell of a Super Smash Bros contender, without either one of these displays of character clashing.
So you probably would like to ask, Why do you liken yourself to these sorts of activities even though you are often chastised for indulging in them? The answer is very, very simple. I ENJOY THEM. The nerd culture provides such an immense intellectual and personal stimulation that I could not help but be lulled by its ironic sense of comforting, forgiving, and often times humorous presentation. Even if we are perceived as being anti-social trolls, I would never even consider living by any other code then by that of a nerd.
This convenient segue also resurrects another smelly stigma, the anti-social tendencies of nerds. Individuals with severe depression or public anxiety are anti-social, not the chubby guy wearing the 1-Up shirt chatting up with the manager at EBGames. Also, despite popular belief, nerds are not afraid to try new things, even in social settings. Granted, although I do often times revert to armchair warfare with a few of my pals, I would never refuse the opportunity to expand my horizons and broaden my own knowledge of the world around me, whether Im being treated to a metal/ska/punk/whatevertheHell concert, a romantic date, or even an alcohol-fueled party. I, as a true card-carrying nerd, would never refuse the opportunity to try something foreign, and any other fellow nerd would never allow the thought of doubt to cross his or her mind when this opportunity reveals itself along the winding path of life. Everything in life has its own quirkiness to it, and any nerd can see the beauty in the oddity of all things, and to discover this beauty, we must not be afraid to seek it. When a nerd has accepted this philosophy, he or she is truly then personally free of all negativity that society staples on to the proud and honorable title of Nerd.
We do not wish to enforce our way upon society, yet ask only that society accepts us as we come, for we could never jeopardize our unmistakable and unchangeable lifestyle. It is in this that the truth of a nerds character is revealed. A nerd is made not when he hits a new Pac-Man high score, nor when he has finished watching Office Space for the 100th time, or even when he has finally found Issue #1. A nerd is created through all of the personal, mental, and emotional choices and actions that have lead up to those aforementioned achievements. Nerd is not a culture, nerd is a lifestyle, and I am here to say to the world, Hello Planet Earth, I am a nerd

When you wish upon a falling star, your dreams can come true. Unless it's really a meteorite hurtling to the earth which will destroy all life. Then you're pretty much screwed no matter what you wish for. Unless it's death by meteor.
Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"
Eagles may soar but weasles don't get sucked into jet engines.
Girl, that was mid-nerd either, I like games, im attached to em a lot Wich makes me a nerd.
I dont have a console since 2 years which not make me a nerd
I love metal (dont think nerds do)
Most people ho like vid-games are not nerds... are just rational, like me... I dont like to go partys to dance idiot music all the night (here in my country I love the USA music)
I dont like to be near a person whos a nerd and a veeeeery idiot guy, that he is always afraid.

No Asking For Rep
A nerd is just a term derived from 80s pop culture. Its just another name that people call other people just to make themselves feel better. When some people see someone that has a characteristic that they don't have feel intimidated, so they make up a name to call that person so they feel better about themselves. Like if you see a smart person you call them nerd, or if you see an athletic person, you call them a jock, or if a woman sees an attractive woman walking down the street and the men seem to notice, she calls her slut. The List goes on and on and on. In order for this to stop, we as human beings need to learn that even though people have diffrent characteristics and abilities, we are all the same.

Transform those dollar store vases into these stylish Upcycled Flea Market Glass Vases from Mitzi Curi, great for spring decorating. With these pearly pastel colors, you can create a look that's perfect for spring, weddings, baby showers and more.
- Spray paint (matte or satin) or multi-surface craft paint and paint brush (optional)
- Sanding sponge (medium grit)
- Assorted embellishments
- Hot glue gun
Two thin coats of spray paint worked well on these pieces:
I thought I'd try some of the pearly Martha Stewart craft paints too:
Here's the first bottle I painted with Martha's pearly paint in a green color. It required two coats, and to be honest, it was much more difficult to apply than the spray paint:
After the pieces are dry, take your sanding sponge and sand the piece to bring out the design:
Now they are ready to embellish.
Now comes my favorite part: selecting the embellishments! I have a humongous stash to choose from, but didn't want to overdo it. I chose some vintage millinery flowers, cameos, and newer trim for my vases.

These are wonderfully creative. Who would ever think they came from the dollar store? I am thinking of a lot of uses for them too.i belong to a ladies club and these would look great on the center of each table. At the end of the meeting we could give them to winners from each table. The allowance for each piece is plenty to cover these beauties. Thank you for sharing..

Never thought of this. Always tried to find painted glass. I did not think the paint would stay on. Super cheap,super easy and so adorable.I love the different types of paints you used. Gives each vase a different look. I have so many clear vases in all sizes laying around the house and so many beads left over from making jewelry. These vases will make cute gifts and also to use at parties or weddings. Thanks for idea. Anyone use for wedding table?

Well there was seriously substandard housing and it was Black people that lived in it, and there wasn't a whole lot happening to change that or was there?
Well, there, there were Black people living in the s- in the slums. There were White people, fewer numbers, living in the slums. They weren't all, they weren't all Blacks by an- by any stretch of the imagination. Ah, the area on the near side where there was some Italian communities, ah, was called little liddi- little, little Italy, ah, and twenty-five years later the Italians discovered they were living in a slum. So the, the, those weren't the only areas. Ah, I think, ah, ah, the mayor participated very, ah, enthusiastically in every federal program which had been initiated to improve housing in the city. Ah, I, ah, I visited some of these slum buildings. Ah, I visited a building, for example, that was going to be torn down to make room for a public housing project and there were kids swarming on the back porches, ah, running up and down. It was a spring day. And I started walking up the steps and my guide said, "Don't go up those steps." And I said "Why?" "They're unsafe." But yet these kids were running up and down. Well, those buildings went down. So there was a, a considerable amount of slum clearance and the building of new buildings like public housing projects, ah, the large scale, ah, ah, lo- middle income developments along the lakefront. They were put up by, ah, men like Fred Cramerp--

Mass screening surveys for various types of major disease have been increasingly used and found variously useful in recent years. It is generally agreed that a simple, inexpensive, reliable screening technique for the detection of heart disease in mass surveys would be valuable. Such a technique should ideally yield a very large percentage of "positive" results in those with heart disease (whether known or unknown) and a very small percentage of "false positive" results in those without heart disease.
Coronary heart disease, especially in the older age groups, forms a very large percentage of all cases of heart disease. Master and others found that "at least 40% of patients with coronary disease do not present any objective evidence of heart disease." Their examination included a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram. White has stated that "nearly one fourth of all cases of angina pectoris show an apparently normal heart by all methods of

New feature: The politics of office dressOctober 11, 2011
The spate of SlutWalks around the world have highlighted a powerful message: no matter what we wear, no matter how we present ourselves, we have the right not to be touched without our consent. For me that statement has a peculiar resonance because it is a much-needed, long overdue reaction to one small subset of a much bigger problem: that we are all, as women, judged every single day by what we wear.

Actress, designer and model Milla Jovovich and her fiancé, director, producer and writer Paul Anderson, welcomed their first child, daughter Ever Gabo Anderson, on Saturday, the couple's rep tells PEOPLE.
The baby, born at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, weighed in at 7 lbs., 8 oz.
"Parents and baby are doing fine," says their rep.
Anderson, 42, produced and wrote three Resident Evil movies starring Jovovich, 31.
The couple met in 2002, when Anderson, whose films also include Alien Vs Predator, directed Jovovich in the first Resident Evil.
They announced their engagement in March 2003, but have not yet announced a wedding date.
In terms of fashion, the Ukranian-born Jovovich and partner Carmen Hawk have their own label, Jovovich-Hawk, which recently unveiled a collection for the European retail chain Mango.
After her pregnancy was announced, Jovovich told PEOPLE: "I'm gaining weight, which is fun. "I've been craving lots of bad stuff but I've been cooking a lot. I did this amazing slow-roasted tomato dip the other night, and steaks, and, oh, I've been eating my mom's potatoes – I know how to make my mom's potatoes – like crazy. It's awful. I have to stop."

Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project, told the TED conference in Oxford that a functional artificial human brain may only be 10 years away. Markram has already built components of a rat brain.
The technology hinges upon "recording the electrophysiology of neurons," which sounds quite impressive and probably is.
The details of this technology are best left for those left-brainers who understand such matters; the crux of it, though, is the goal: to give researchers transparency as to how a brain perceives the world. Animal rights activists will be pleased as well, since Markram notes that building animal models to minimize animal experimentation is a practical application for the technology.
And so we award a Fantasy T-Wearer Award today to Henry Markram. May he enjoy the cheeky "Never Underestimate" T-shirt, at right.

, the first solo album by former
Black Crowes
Rich Robinson
without knowing who it was, it'd be easy to peg that it's the work of a guitarist who has finally been given the chance to do whatever he wants on record. There are layers and layers of guitars on each cut, so much so that it's hard to tell exactly how many overdubs are on each track, and they're all pushed to the front of the mix. Even when there isn't a specific guitar solo, each guitar part is busy enough to show off the guitarist's considerable chops, and each tune has been written to give him plenty of room to roam. It's not like
Rich Robinson
was ever held back in
the Black Crowes
-- from their first album his playing was as much a part of their sound as his brother Chris' voice, but here he's allowed to indulge himself to a far greater extent than before, and he seizes it. If you're a guitar nut, that's not a bad thing, since
is a good guitarist, but he would have benefited from a producer to reign him in a bit, or at least edit his performances so they pack a punch instead of just ramble on. He also would have benefited if he had hired a vocalist; he's written a couple of hooky, vaguely psychedelic choruses, but his voice is too thin to carry over the dense, murky layers of guitars. In short, it seems like the first solo album from a talented guitarist from a notable band -- some good riffs, some good hooks, some good playing, but it never gels, since the guitarist is having too much fun enjoying his freedom to figure out how to present it to a larger audience, even an audience of his diehard fans.

While the new platform Cedar Trail Cedarview Intel Netbook is expected in 2012, one discovers information about his successor for 2013.
According to our colleagues from CNet, Intel is working on a new architecture based on Atom Technology Tri-Gate transistors 3D presented last week. This allows, among other to maximize performance while consuming less power than the current generation, especially if the chip that operates at the base consumes little energy, which is the case of Atom.
Dubbed Silvermont, this new generation of Atom chips is scheduled for 2013 SoC (system-on-Chip) and thus incorporates both a processor part and graphics. It will benefit from an engraving in 22nm technology and 3-D Tri-Gate. Performance should therefore logically be increased while energy consumption and heat dissipation are they down compared to previous Atom.
Clearly, with an Atom Netbooks Silvermont be more powerful, more autonomous and will require probably no fan where a silent operation.Tablets may also benefit from this new generation of Atom engraved in 22nm technology with 3D Tri-Gate.
It must be said that the firm of Santa Clara is somewhat shaken in the area of Netbooks with one hand, the rise of AMD's platform and his Brazos APU Zacate and Ontario and the other starting to ARM waves. It must therefore offer an attractive alternative compared to the competition.

Sacramento is likely to hit 70 degrees by the end of the week, but for Wednesday, temperatures will hover in the mid-60s.
The KCRA 3 First Alert Weather Team is forecasting 66 degrees for the region.
Sacramento will wake up to temps in the upper 30s before getting a dose of filtered sunshine and light winds Wednesday.
A weather system moving by to the north will sweep clouds our way, and will help cool down after temperature a bit. Winds, unlike Tuesday, will be on the lighter side.
Sacramento might hit 70 by Friday. It came close on Tuesday with a high of 68. Normal for this time of year is 65.

Lake of a Lifetime by S. James Miller
photos-courtesy of the author
My lifelong relationship with Laurel Hill State Park began in 1959 during the US Steel strike when my Dad decided we should go camping. On that trip, when I was nine years old, my Dad taught me to fish.
The author (foreground) at age 9, fishing at Laurel Hill State Park in 1959.
The mist rises around us in the dim, gray early morning light as our canoe glides across the mirror-green lake. The bubbling of the trilling motor is the only sound as we near our favorite spot at the mouth of Laurel Creek. It is late May, and although the days are sunny and warm, the mornings are still cold. We can see our breath, but we barely notice because we anticipate catching trout.
This is only the second year my wife, Debbie, and I have fished together, although we have been married for 18 years and she has turned out to be a pretty good, enthusiastic angler. I am only too happy to share Laurel Hill Lake with her, a lake that has been a part of my life since I cast my first worm in the water.
Laurel Hill State Park is located in Somerset County. It contains a relatively small, 65-acre lake that was built by the WPA (Works Progress Administration) in the 1930s. The federal government gave the park to the state of Pennsylvania in 1945. My lifelong relationship with the park began in 1959 during the US Steel strike when my Dad decided we should go camping. He borrowed an umbrella tent and bought some basic equipment, including a stove and lantern, and the adventure began. On that trip, when I was nine years old, my Dad taught me to fish.
He started me off with an old rod and baitcasting reel, with what must have been 50-pound line and a plastic bucket for my catch. I remember distinctly his standing beside me and telling me to be patient.
"Wait until the bobber goes all the way under," he said.
I also remember how hard it was to cast the bobber out more than 15 feet with that old rod and reel, and how I just knew the bigger ones were just a little farther out.
It wasn't long before I was reeling in sunfish and bluegills along with the occasional crappie. I'd toss them into my bucket and run back up to the campsite to show off my catch before running back down to the creek to release the monsters. Even my two younger sisters were impressed. I spent hours along the creek concentrating on those fish, and I tried a little of everything for bait, including corn, doughballs and grasshoppers. My Dad would occasionally walk down to give me encouragement. It turns out he wasn't much of a fisherman himself, but from his limited experience fishing the river, he always said nightcrawlers were the best bait.
"When in doubt, use a nightcrawler," he said. "A nightcrawler can catch anything."
We swam in Laurel Hill Lake, we picnicked along the lake, we hiked around the lake, and I fished the lake. For many summers the lake was the center of our family's activities. We met lots of nice people and bought our very own tent the next year. We never had a boat, though, and I still remember watching the few boats on the lake with great envy. My fishing was always limited to the shore or below the spillway. Even at an early age, I believed the boat fishermen were somehow a notch above us lowly shore fishermen. After all, out there was where the big ones were.
College interrupted my fishing obsession. The excitement of living away from home for the first time and the demands of trying to learn something during the Age of Aquarius, the late 1960s and early 1970s, left little time for fishing. During the summers, I worked to earn money for tuition, so for four years fishing took a back seat.
When I graduated I had a new fishing experience. My brother, Dave, is 11 years younger than I am, and suddenly the little guy I'd harassed and knocked around had become a fishing buddy. If anything, he was crazier for fishing than I was. After fishing together for trout and bass in streams and creeks for a few years, we went together and bought an old canoe, complete with trolling motor, paddles, life jackets and homemade anchors. The entire outfit cost us $350. We headed straight for Laurel Hill. After years of wishing, I was finally out on the water in a boat and with my brother to boot.
We were amazed at the variety of fish we caught at Laurel: Bluegills, crappies, perch, smallmouths, catfish, and of course, our favorite, trout. We learned every inch of Laurel Hill Lake, from the weed bed along the beach to the channel leading to the spillway. Every fallen tree became a familiar friend, and we even had names for some of our favorite spots, like "Bass Alley" and "Perch Point." On one of our early trips, I was fishing a small spoon when my ultralight was almost ripped out of my hands. After a long fight I landed a 25-inch northern pike!
Yes, there are pike at Laurel, too, and now when we get bored during the heat of the day, we troll for pike. The biggest we ever landed was almost 36 inches, although most are much smaller. It doesn't matter because nothing attacks a lure like a northern. We've lost enough lures to prove it.
We've caught some good-sized carp, too, fishing with live bait and bobbers. That's another fish that's no small challenge to land with an ultralight and 4-pound test.
As time went on, we brought others to Laurel on our combination camping and fishing trips. The park has a beautiful, modern campground for trailers and tents, and we've taken nephews, nieces, cousins and friends out on Laurel Hill Lake in our trusty canoe. Knowing the lake as we do, we have always been able to find the right spot for every 9- to 10-year-old in the family to catch a fish. Somehow watching them lets me recapture the anticipation and excitement I felt nearly 40 years ago as I sat on the bank with my plastic bucket.
In recent years, we started going fishing for a weekend in June with Mike and Doug, our brothers-in-law. We also take an annual fall camping trip in early October. Fishing all day and sitting around a crackling campfire at night is a great way to become a tighter family.
Like any other fishing spot, Laurel can run hot and cold. Dave and I have fished all day without a bite, and we've also had some legendary trips in spring when everyone has limited out.
Today the fishing is kind of slow for Debbie and me. We've tried lures and mealworms without success and the sun's getting hotter.
"What should we try now?" Debbie asks.
"When in doubt, use a nightcrawler", I advise. "A nightcrawler can catch anything."

"Framed" is an interdisciplinary graduate conference organized and sponsored by the Cinema Studies Group of CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. This conference seeks to investigate the diverse ways in which film images are framed—both literally (by the camera lens, by the director) and figuratively (by critics, by academic discourse, by popular culture).
We invite proposals for 15-20 minute presentations that engage with these cinematic issues. Particular consideration will be given to panel submissions.
Possible topics might include (but are not limited to):
• Absences and exclusions
• Analysis of a single director and/or single film
• "Auteurs" and "cult" directors
• Awards, prizes, and festivals
• Canons/canon formation
• Cinematic collectives/manifestos: Left Bank, Dogme 95, Neorealism
• Distribution: theatrical, YouTube, iPods, digital streaming, digital exhibition
• Genre: conventions, revisions, hybrids
• Minority subjectivities: gender, race, sexuality, postcolonialism
• "Movies" versus "films"
• The national, the transnational, and the global
• Off-screen space: fourth walls, fields of vision, credit sequences, diegetic and nondiegetic sound
• "Other" media: television, music videos, web films
• Periodization of film history courses: how and where do we divide it?
• The place of film studies in the academy
• Syntax: Hollywood, independent, avant-garde
• Technologies: celluloid, high definition, digital cinematography, nonlinear editing (FinalCut Pro, etc.)
Submit 300-word abstracts by January 15, 2008 to Elizabeth Alsop and Kelley Kawano at email@example.com.
Please include your name, affiliation (where appropriate), telephone number, postal and e-mail addresses with your submissions, as well as any audio-visual requirements you may have.
