Isildur = Viktro BLom? is that really you in these forex forums?
also trading and blackjack! you have to work the probabilities!
I use to be a good poker player, I haven't got back into the game for some time now but I love the game, maybe the journey how I have gotten into the forex market?.
I would say that it is about 70 % luck and 30% skill, there are only so many times you and bluff no matter how good your poker face is, if you have a bad run of cards you will eventually get caught out.
The way I use to play was to keep changing my game around so that I wasn't a predictable play.
I see this in the forex market to you should away be on your toes and ready to change your game at any time, because you can only play the cards that you have been dealt.
The forex market is not gambling if you know what you are doing, just as said earlier you should have good money management, as you wouldn't go all in on rubbish hand because you WILL get caught out and this become gambling,. Some times it pays off but in the end you will be broke.
I've been a poker player for quite a while until a bunch of thugs decided to shut it all down. Hopefully they don't after Forex soon.
Poker and Forex are very similar in psychology. In poker we can't go on tilt and lose our rolls. We can't also lose confidence and not be aggressive in +EV situations. It's a huge balance which can take a very long time for some players to get right. Some players have really good math, memory and reading skills but always lose money due to going on tilt from a 1 or 2 outer. Every player has this problem, the players who do this the less have a huge advantage. From what I noticed, you can't get shaken up in forex after a bad trade by either entering more trades, bigger trades and you also can't just avoid trading all together when there are clear good reasons to.
In poker we have to be glued to our screens all the time. In forex you can enter a trade and place you TP or SL and go take a poo or pee, feed your dog or do whatever. The traders that trade longer TFs can even go to bed while they are still playing. You can't be in the game and be away from the keyboard in poker which is a huge pain that I don't go through with forex. This is a huge upside to forex.
In poker there are clear paths to follow much like a video game and move up in skill. Players can start by buying in for 2 or 5 dollars in a table and slowly move up to 10, 15 and hopefully to the 100, 200 dollar tables within a few years. In Forex you are playing against the best and the worst from the start which is very frustrating.
Poker is truly 24/7 and Forex is not. For people who have a job and have time on the weekends then trading Forex will likely not work because it closes from Friday to Sunday morning; at least for US traders. I'm not even quite sure if Forex is something that is even beatable on a part time basis. Is it something that requires 100% devotion for profitability? In poker I could log on and play a couple hours a night and still be profitable as long as I'm playing within people of my skill level.
My biggest fear is that the govt will come after forex traders next and traders will be forced to either move out of the US or money launder. I don't want to spend years learning forex only to have it taken down. As of now, US poker is pretty much dead. Hopefully, we can see some poker players take on forex and see how they do. Any 2p2 people here?
In poker, it's an actual person with a screen name or face that's going against you so it can get a lot more personal unless you are multitabling 10+. In rush poker this was less of an issue. In forex there is no concept or feeling of getting hit by a 1 or 2 outer at the river again and again.
[QUOTE=Clint;251989]At the poker table, there are certain "distractions" which you don't have to contend with in forex trading:
True, but there are certainly other distractions:
I'm surprised no one mentioned this (or maybe I missed it), but there is also "bluffing" in trading as well; particularly by market makers. There are tons of "fake" breakouts and setups. And commonly you see the immediate reactions to announcements be bluff events as well.

there are games that cant even maintain a stable 30fps especially movie based games
30fps for a cinematic is stupid whoever says that completely have no idea FPS doesnt have anything to do with a cinematic experience.
60fps is the real life speed. Whoever says otherwise is just contented on 30fps and will continue to be a stagnated fodder.

wildog2006 posted...This topic is now about how many hamsters would need to be stacked on top of each other in order to reach the moon.
If you're going to be that pedantic you should know that 3.42x10^29 hamsters would be more than double the mass of Saturn sitting in between Earth and the moon. Pretty sure you wouldn't have to worry about wobbly hamster legs when there isn't a planet and moon left to measure the distance between.
Plus, it was a question of hamster height as a UoM, not which structure would be the most sound, measured in total hamsters used to generate said structure. Your first number was much more accurate.
You're talking about an amount of hamsters that would exceed the matter density limit and create a black hole. They would physically no longer be hamsters, and dissolve into fundamental particles, which would form a black hole. I'm far too lazy to figure out how big it would be, but my gut says somewhere between a golf ball and the size of a candlepin bowling ball, which is roughly the size of a bocce ball for you non-New Englanders.
3.42x10^29 is a mind bogglingly large number. If you multiplied 100 trillion by 100 trillion, you would still be two decimal places short. And then, you'd have to multiply that number by 3.4 to get there.
And if you had $100 trillion in $1 bills, stacked on top of each other it would reach to the moon and back 14 times. And that's just 100 trillion pieces of paper. You're talking about a number that is roughly 600 times that size, and then squared.
That number is like owning 600 trillion banks, and each one of those banks has 600 trillion dollars in it, and then trying to figure out how much money you have. One billionth of that amount is still 3.4x10^20. Which is something like 342 quintillion, if my brain is functioning properly. And when it comes to math this big, no ones brain functions properly. Woof.

Except higher FPS allows for better gameplay, so your last point is a load of meaningless crap.
Also you can't tell the difference so your entire opinion is meaningless. Someone who can't tell the difference between 2 things is the worst person in existence to given an opinion on them. Whats next, you gonna have a guy who can't the difference between 2 different musical genres tell us which is better? They're about as qualified to tell as about something they know nothing about as you are.

text: Most of Palolem's accommodation is of the seasonal beach-hut variety, though there are plenty of old-fashioned guesthouses or family homes with rooms to rent back from the beach for ₹600 to ₹1000. It's still possible to find a basic palm-thatch hut or plywood cottage somewhere near the beach for as little ₹500, but many of the huts these days are more thoughtfully designed using quality materials – the very best have air-con, flat-screen TV and sea-facing balcony. These rooms can cost ₹3000 to ₹5000 a night but the beauty of Palolem is that you can park your bags in a beachfront cafe and easily hunt around for a room that suits your budget; book ahead for peak season though.

Farm names etc in Finland
I would like more information on the following farms. (1) do they still exist? (2) are they still in same families as originally? (3) Who lives there now? etc. Finnish folks would know more about this than I do, thus any other helpful information would also be welcomed. Forgive me if I have asked wrong questions.
Wahapassi (village of Khauhava or Hauhava) Jutila family
Lanta (think in Kivijarvi)Piispanen family
Tendolan(is this correct spelling?)Kahelin family
Seppala (village of Heinolaks?)Kinnunen family
Koila (Kivijarvia)Kotilainen
Names were at one point(my family living on/born on these farms
I'm sorry if I ask silly questions here, but I don't know a whole lot about this subject.
My grandmother was a Piispanen, her sister Impi married a Jutla, and others names extend back thru the family.
Thank you for any help untangling all this,.

You can connect an Xbox to any wireless router, but you need a wireless client adapter to plug into the Xbox. And router running DD-WRT can be configured as a wireless client adapter, or you can buy a dedicated wireless client adapters.
That device is a wireless router and won't run DD-WRT, so can't be used as a client adapter.

Once people have launched a site, the first question they generally ask is how do I get listed on Google? And the second one is how do I get people to visit my site? The answer to both of these questions is social media and a solid social sharing strategy. The web is full of millions upon millions of blogs, so simply launching a blog does not mean people are going to find it or read it or share it. The best way you can achieve reading and sharing on your blog is actually by sharing it yourself.
So after creating a blog, start sharing your content. When you write a post or find a video you like, go to that video or post, copy out your URL and paste it in to social sharing sites like Facebook and Twitter and get your friends to watch it and share it. Also, if people interact with you in the comments, make sure to always respond to the comments. Start a conversation, that way you ensure that people feel like you're a real person that they can interact with.
You can also engage people by asking them questions on Twitter, on Facebook, or even in your site. Ask them about what they want to see next, or ask them about other experiences they've had or their favorite videos and then share those with the viewers so that they will then feel that they're interacting with your site. The final thing I want to suggest is that you add a contact page. This is always a good idea because once people see your contact page, they have an easy way of contacting you.
Although immediate reaction to a contact page is to add your email address, but that's actually a really bad idea, because there are not just people on the Internet, there is also these computers that troll the Internet looking for email addresses, and once they find your email address, they start sending you garbage email. Putting in a form instead is a much better solution, because then people can fill out the form, and you get the email without all the spam in the process. I'll show you how to add a very simple form. I'll go to the back end of my site.
I need to add a plug-in, so I'll go Plugins and click Add New and here I'll Search for grunion, click Search. Here you have the Grunion Contact Form. I'll click Install Now, activate the plug-in, and now I can go to Pages and create a New Page, call it Contact, I'll say Contact me, and then I'll put in the form.
The form appears here because once we added the Grunion Contact Form plug-in, we got this new button. So I'll click on the new button, and this allows me to customize a form. The standard form is actually fine, and the email notification goes to the default email address you set up when you set up your site. So I'll simply click Add this form to my posts, Publish the post, and then I need to add the contact page to my menu. So I'll go to Appearance > Menus, go down to Pages and find Contact, add the contact page to my menu, save the menu, go to the front page, and now when I click on the Contact button, I'm taken to a contact page that has a form.
When people fill out the form and click Submit, you get an email with that form entry. And if you don't get the email, you'll see the form appear here under Feedbacks. Social media is all about engagements and even ignoring social media, engagement is always good business. So now that you have the site up and running, focus on a solid sharing and communication strategy, reach out to your fans, and most importantly, have fun.

Arby's Taps Ecova for Energy Plan
Arby's Restaurant Group is to work with energy and sustainability management company Ecova to create a strategic energy plan targeting short- and long-term energy savings.
Ecova will help Arby's identify opportunities, set goals, guide the development of a corporate energy policy, establish priorities for implementation, and develop a timetable for achievement, the companies said.
The relationship between Arby's and Ecova began in 2009 when Ecova began managing Arby's utility expenses. This new initiative deepens the relationship to cover demand-side energy management and allows Ecova to draw insight from data on the restaurant chain's existing energy use, gathered through the utility expense management work.
Energy represents Arby's fourth largest controllable expense. The company said its first step to cutting costs will be changing employee behavior and operational protocols. Any savings from these moves will be reinvested in capital expenditures for other efficiency projects.
Tools that Ecova plans to use to drive energy savings for Arby's include:
- Lighting, HVAC and water heating systems, restaurant equipment and building shell recommendations
- Rebates and incentives
- Equipment procurement strategies
- Demand response
- Energy management technology
The announced relationship reflects a trend of restaurant chains identifying and pursuing utility savings and environmental enhancements.
In June 2010, Burger King unveiled an energy-efficient pilot restaurant located in Germany. The restaurant uses renewable energy to power one-third of its energy requirements. Through the improvements, the trial "Burger King 20/20" restaurant cut its energy costs by 45 percent and CO2 emissions by more than 1201 metric tons annually.
The restaurant kitchen also features the Duke Flexible Batch Broiler, which cuts electricity consumption by 52 percent and costs by 90 percent. All Burger King restaurants in North America have installed this new broiler and the international rollout is expected to be completed by the end of 2012.
McDonald's rolled out a pilot restaurant in Chicago, Illinois, in 2009 that is estimated to use 25 percent less energy than a traditional McDonald's restaurant. In 2011 the chain worked with an EDF Climate Corps fellow to engage its estimated 700,000 U.S. restaurant employees in energy efficiency initiatives.
Arby's has a number of sustainability initiatives already under its belt. In 2009 it announced plans to build its first green restaurant in Magnolia, Texas. The restaurant draws at least 35 percent of its energy from renewable sources. In 2007, Arby's installed solar water heaters at 33 locations.
Reader Comments
Georgia and Atlanta (where Arby's headquarters located) are certainly woeful when it comes to sustainability efforts, reducing energy and waste, and enacting Green policies. Atlanta's the #9 "Dirtiest American City" by TRAVEL+LEISURE, and Georgia's #7 "worst" state in the American State Litter Scorecard, for poorest public spaces cleanliness and environmental conduct. Per day, each Georgian throws away several pounds above national average, of unrecycled, unreused items into landfills–one of the ten worst U.S. states for this. Georgia still has no comprehensive recycling nor container deposits laws that reduces both littering and energy use.

NFL Picks Week 12 has a festive flavor to it with the usual staple of Thanksgiving Day games kicking things off.
Sunday's action features several conference clashes, including an intriguing match-up in Indianapolis.
The Colts put up a tough fight in Foxborough before falling to the Patriots in Week 12.
Meanwhile, the Chargers took care of business against the Broncos and welcome back star receiver Vincent Jackson this week.
According to reports, Jackson returned to the team in great shape and has shined in practice.
That's great news for the playoff hopes of both Philip Rivers and the fantasy owners of the star wide receiver.
Here's a complete look at NFL picks Week 12.

1) Give Rajai Davis Everyday At-Bats
This would usually be the default option when two players are in a time-share situation, that you would rely more heavily on the other player. Unfortunately, Davis was signed specifically because he would work out best in a platoon setup.
However, the discrepancy for Davis between hitting against lefties and hitting against righties is huge. Against lefties for his career, he walks 8% of the time, hits for respectable power (.13 ISO) with 40 more points in his average, resulting in a .343 wOBA. On the other hand, he only walks 4% against righties, his ISO is under .1, which all comes together to present a career .288 wOBA – basically making him worse than a replacement player in those situations.
The Tigers could look to give Davis AB's selectively against right-handers, perhaps those that he's shown particular success against, but they'd likely be setting themselves up for failure if they plan to just use Davis on a daily basis in left.
2) Existing Roster Options - Steve Lombardozzi and Don Kelly
As a switch-hitter and left-handed hitter, respectively, and with some background playing left field, both could theoretically fill the spot that was opened up by the injury to Andy Dirks.
While Kelly was a favorite of Jim Leyland's, his historical performance against right-handers isn't that strong, even though it's better than his lefty/lefty splits. He hits just .235 against lefties with a .292 wOBA, making him only marginally better than Davis. Having him already in the game on a regular basis also potentially limits his versatility value, a key component of what he brings.
Much like Kelly, Lombardozzi's potential is pretty limited. For starters, the Tigers have been having him focus his time on working in the middle infield to be a capable backup for Jose Iglesias, in addition to Ian Kinsler. Asking him to play double duty just puts more stress on a limited use bench player. In addition, offensively, he's in the same category – career .289 wOBA against right-handed pitching with a .269 average. So, Lombardozzi could bring his gritty style and a rather empty average to the slot, making him a rather undesirable option, as well.
3) The Call Up - Ezequiel Carrera, Trevor Crowe, Tyler Collins, Daniel Fields
The cast of players the Tigers could potentially rely on is mostly made up of non-roster invitees, along with Fields, who was recently added to the 40-man roster. Collins, like Fields, spent 2013 in Double-A Erie. Carrera and Crowe were both signed as minor league free agents, with the intent of providing depth to the upper levels of the farm system.
Carrera is the player that will probably get the first extensive look. He was a solid part-time player for two years in Cleveland in 2011 and 2012. He only has a few hundred career big league at-bats, but in that time, his AB's against right-handers are still no better than what we've seen out of everyone else - .255 average, wOBA of .291. He has been a threat on the base paths, but it's unlikely he'd be a better one than Davis would already be.
Trevor Crowe is a switch-hitter that has gotten most of his time from the left side of the plate against right-handed pitching. He's struggled even more than the other options, with just a .279 wOBA, making it unlikely he'd beat out the internal options and Carrera to earn playing time.
The final two come down to a pair of prospects that maintain big league potential, but might not be developed enough to be ready for consistent playing time in Detroit, at least not right out of the gate. Both hit from the left side which is an initial plus, but neither were even able to post an .800 OPS in a hitter-friendly park for Erie. Needless to say, they might be good options to be a platoon player in Detroit in left field SOME day, but that day is probably not today (or tomorrow).
The summary is that there's simply no good internal option. Every single one in fact would likely post a wOBA under .300 over an extended period of time, unless one of the two prospects comes on strong this spring and emerges as a worthy complement.
The Tigers are fine to have an open tryout and leave the position to be determined for the next few weeks, but it'd be advisable for them to start searching the waiver wire as we get later into spring training to see if a player that might fit gets put on the market or becomes available via trade. Given that this isn't simply a short term thing that the Tigers will need to make due on for a couple weeks of games, it warrants serious consideration to make a move.
In the event they don't, the final spot on the roster suddenly becomes a much more open competition, including a number of the outfielders mentioned above, along with infielders Danny Worth and Hernan Perez, either of whom could serve a valuable bench role and allow for Kelly and Lombardozzi to get more work in elsewhere, including left field.

Marvel Heroes 2016,[3][4] originally known as Marvel Heroes, is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online action role-playing video game developed by Gazillion Entertainment and Secret Identity Studios.[2] Characters such as Iron Man, Captain America, Deadpool and Wolverine serve as characters that players can unlock in the game. Players who pre-purchased a game pack received early access to the game on May 29, 2013. The game was then officially launched on June 4, 2013, on Microsoft Windows. An OS X version is planned to follow post-launch,[5] and in November 2014 was in an open beta.[6] The game was renamed to Marvel Heroes 2015 on June 4, 2014.[7] The game was rebranded again in January 2016 to Marvel Heroes 2016.
The gameplay is an ARPG (action role playing game). Marvel Heroes is free-to-play with micro-transactions used to fund and support the game. Players can unlock most of the things that can be bought via real money with currencies earned in game.
As characters gain levels, they gain a passive stat (statistic) increase for stats that help that particular character and gain power points, allowing the player to further define the abilities of that character. Each character has three power trees in which they can spend points. Each of the trees generally focuses on a certain mechanic or play style, such as the Assault (melee), Firepower (guns), and Demolition (explosives) trees for Punisher, or the Archery (ranged), Fighting (melee), and Trick Arrows (special ranged) trees for Hawkeye. As the character gains levels the player has access to more skills to spend points on and is able to put more points into existing skills. Each skill has a level cap, so more points cannot be put in a skill until a certain level is reached. Each skill has a maximum of 20 power points and a maximum of 50 points can be reached from gear bonuses. Currently, the game has a maximum level of 60 per hero.
Several updates since launch have rebalanced many of the game's systems. Story Mode may now be used to fully level any hero, and defensive stats have been consolidated and simplified. Players may obtain any playable character using the 'Eternity Splinter' system. These timed drops can be used as currency with Adam Warlock so that players can get the heroes they want to play (faster than the previous random hero drop system) and without spending money. In addition, the splinters can be used to get a random Cosmic item, to upgrade the character's Ultimate ability, or to purchase a Team-Up companion.
The relaunched Marvel Heroes 2015 version of the game is also the first ARPG to feature a raid. In raid encounters, 10 grouped players attack a series of unique bosses. Each encounter features a timer and a death limit. Current raids allow players to take on Surtur and his minions in Muspelheim, and also Red Onslaught in Genosha.
Each location in the game is composed of several "instances" at any one time. This allows the game to run on one huge virtual server, rather than the game being split into different servers. Many missions take place within smaller instances. These instances are reset if the player leaves and returns.
|This section needs expansion with: Chapters 2-10. You can help by adding to it. (May 2016)
In the beginning, Doctor Doom obtains the Cosmic Cube. After responding to a theft at Queens, the player travels to the Raft, where Madame Hydra and HYDRA have broken out all the supervillains. The player manages to reactivate the security system, lock down the cell blocks, and recapture Green Goblin and Living Laser, but many villains escape. When meeting with Doctor Doom, Madame Hydra is given a sort of chip. After the breakout, Daredevil manages to recapture Rhino in Hell's Kitchen, while the player recaptures Shocker in an abandoned subway. Doctor Octopus tries to steal a special tablet from the Blood Rose nightclub, but he is stopped and recaptured, and the tablet is obtained by the heroes. However, Hood appears and steals the tablet. Afterwards, the player travels to Industry City.
The supervillains try to prevent the heroes from interfering with Doctor Doom's use of the Cosmic Cube. After stopping Doctor Doom, players unlock the Bifrost Bridge to Asgard where Loki has summoned a horde of Dark Elves, Frost Giants, and other monsters in an attempt to seize Asgard's throne while Odin slumbers. The heroes defeat Loki's minions before confronting Loki himself in Odin's throne room where he reveals that he has stolen the power of Doom's Cosmic Cube only to be ultimately defeated. Before judgement can be passed on Loki, the heroes learn that the dark god Surtur has reforged the Twilight Sword and plans to use the chaos caused by Loki in order to launch his own invasion of Asgard. The heroes defeat Surtur in his home dimension of Muspelheim at which point Odin awakens, enraged at Loki's crimes. Loki claims that he simply wanted to be acknowledged as a hero, and Odin decides that his punishment shall be to prove himself as a hero by trapping him in an endless time loop covering the events of the game.
Shortly after Surtur's defeat, Professor X suddenly goes missing. While investigating his disappearance, the heroes discover that Red Skull has merged himself with Onslaught, becoming Red Onslaught, and has launched a genocidal campaign of destruction against the sovereign mutant nation of Genosha. In order to combat Red Onslaught, the heroes are forced to enlist the aid of supervillains through the Thunderbolts program, including Magneto and Green Goblin. The hero and super-villain alliance are able to defeat Red Onslaught and save Genosha. Red Skull is imprisoned and Onslaught is destroyed.
Sometime later after dealing with an invasion of New York by Ultron, the heroes are confronted by Doctor Doom who explains that he had been captured by Thanos following his initial defeat. He reveals that the Skrulls are planning a massive invasion of Earth. The heroes are summoned by Nick Fury to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier only to discover that its a trap and the entire base has been infiltrated by Skrulls. After defeating the Skrulls, the heroes meet up with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s counterpart S.W.O.R.D. who escort them to the real Nick Fury's base in an abandoned toolshed in Madripoor. From there, the heroes combat Skrull activity throughout the world until discovering that the leader of the invasion, Super-Skrull has established his base in Madripoor's Hightown. The heroes confront Super-Skrull and defeat him. As he is taken into custody, his ship manages to escape where Super-Skrull claims that the heroes should be thankful that it has due to its cargo. Sure enough, the ships is revealed to be carrying several Infinity Gems which has caught the attention of Thanos.
The game takes place in several well known Marvel locations, including the Raft, Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, Madripoor, the Savage Land, Mutant Town, Doomstadt, Latveria and Asgard. Additional locations will be added in the future updates. The Avengers Tower, the X-Mansion, the Helicarrier, and Odin's Palace serves as the game's main hubs. Additional locations with missions, known as One-Shots are also available. It includes the Vibranium Mines in which players must battle Man-Ape in Wakanda, the Bronx Zoo where players battle Kraven the Hunter, Lizard, and Mister Hyde, and March to Axis in which players battle the Red Skull and Hydra. More One-Shots will be added in the future.
Each location can be fully explored. There are often citizens with special missions and side objectives. There are often clusters of enemies scattered around the map. Enemies include A.I.M. soldiers, HYDRA soldiers, Hand Ninjas, Maggia gangsters, Brood hybrids, Demons, and more. If the player defeats a group of a certain type of enemy, XP is spawned. Occasionally, a Sentinel will spawn on the map and can be destroyed for XP and items. Each location has its own resident bosses like Black Cat in Hell's Kitchen or Venom in Industry City, who can be taken down for XP and items, although they respawn often. Every few minutes, there is an event, which often spawns special bosses and/or has a certain objective, which can also often lead to a boss. Special bosses often come in groups, such as the Frightful Four or Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. Manholes, which occur often, can sometimes be lifted, which will spawn a group of Hand Ninjas who can be taken down for XP.
Marvel Heroes features more than 100 characters from the Marvel Universe. Players can choose from a large and diverse cast of superheroes and villains. Each playable character is a different archetype, either Melee or Ranged with each having unique sets of attributes and talent tree.[8] At the game's release, there were 21 playable characters. As of February 2016 there are 55 playable characters. These characters range from well-known and iconic such as Iron Man and Spider-Man to lesser-known and obscure such as Squirrel Girl. Several villains, such as Loki and Venom, also appear as playable characters. Additional playable characters will be added in future updates like Beast. The game adds an average of one new character every month.
Every player can play all heroes at the start, up to level 10, with the exception of the latest added hero. Players may continue to level up the heroes of their choice by spending in-game dropped items called Eternity Splinters or by purchasing them with real currency via the game's store. Players can also unlock Team Up characters, a concept based on the Marvel Team-Up comic book series. These characters are not playable, but act as sidekicks or bodyguards, providing assistance and passive boosts to the playable character. They can also be acquired through Eternity Splinters or via the game's online store.
Costumes to change the character's appearance can also be purchase in the game's web store or can be acquired through drops from enemies. Four costumes (consisting of Iron Man 3-inspired Iron Man armor, a Weapon X outfit for Wolverine, Hulk's future form Maestro, and Spider-Man's black symbiote costume) are exclusive to players who purchased the limited edition character Ultimate Pack for nearly two hundred American dollars, under Gazillion's Founder's Program. The packs were released prior to the game's launch and also included beta access, early game access for the final game, immediate access to additional characters and added in-game currency.[9] An "enhanced costume" is an iteration of a playable character, but is based on a completely different (though usually related) character. For example, Beta Ray Bill is an enhanced costume for Thor; although he has his own unique appearance and voice work, he has the same exact powers, talents and abilities as Thor.
Enhanced costumes may also be a variant of the same character, but requiring significant extra animation or voice over work, such as Thing's Angir: Breaker of Souls form from the Fear Itself storyline.
Cryptic Studios[edit]
Marvel Heroes was originally known as Marvel Universe Online and later Marvel Universe. Marvel Universe Online was the original working title of Champions Online. The massively-multiplayer online (MMO) game was developed by Cryptic Studios and was to be published by Microsoft Game Studios exclusively for Microsoft Windows using a license from Marvel.[10] The project was changed on February 11, 2008 due to what a Microsoft spokesperson referred to as "an inability to compete" with the current MMO marketplace. Less than a week later, Cryptic Studios announced that development would continue using a new IP license related to Champions, a superhero role playing game.[11]
Confirmation of the project's cancellation arrived on February 11, 2008, although rumors of the possible cancellation had existed since November of the previous year.[12] Shane Kim, the head of Microsoft Games Studios, stated in an interview that the cancellation was primarily due to the competitive market for subscription-based MMOs, and that while one current MMO was successful, "everything else wouldn't meet our level or definition of commercial success".
Gazillion Entertainment[edit]
On Tuesday, March 17, 2009, it was revealed that Gazillion Entertainment had signed an exclusive 10-year deal to develop Marvel Entertainment games, of which Marvel Universe is one. The first title released was Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, which targets younger audiences. Marvel Universe was eventually renamed Marvel Heroes and started being developed as a massively multiplayer online-action role-playing game rather than a massively multiplayer online role-playing game like Cryptic's canceled version of Marvel Universe had been. Gazillion Entertainment has chosen to use Epic Games's Unreal Engine 3, instead of the Unity 3D engine used for Marvel Super Hero Squad Online, with studio director Jeff Lind stating "We love Unreal Engine 3's streaming system. It's made our entire technical approach possible and is easy to work with. We also love the flexibility we get from the actor components, which have empowered us to make all kinds of customizations without sacrificing the built-in features of the engine."[2] During a live stream session David Brevik, the President/CEO of Gazillion, further detailed the game's engine. He noted that while Unreal Engine 3 powers the game's front end visuals and audio, much of the components that make a massively multiplayer game were written using entirely new code that interfaced with Unreal Engine 3.[13]
During development, Gazillion used an internal team of 75 people working for three and a half years, with others assisting with support and marketing. Gazillion has raised more than $80 million to fund the game's development, but it hasn't disclosed exactly how much was spent.[14] In contrast to other MMO developers, Gazillion always planned to use the free-to-play model.
Marvel Heroes originally received mixed reviews; on the aggregate review website Metacritic the game attains an overall score of 59 out of 100 based on 38 critic reviews.[15] IGN gave the game a 5.7/10, praising the story but criticizing the combat and limited customization. The game was relaunched later with the title "Marvel Heroes 2015", following various improvements and new content implemented over time. On Metacritic, the game attains a score of 81 out of 100 based on 10 critic reviews and 8.1 out of 10 user score based on 506 user ratings.[16] On Jan 10, 2015, Marvel Heroes 2015 was awarded "Most Improved MMO" by MMORPG.com, as decided by site visitors.[17]

If Plainview girls' basketball coach Danny Wrenn has a conference with a player, he makes sure there's another coach with them. When Johnny Cobb was handed girls' wrestling to add to his boys' program, he felt it necessary to have a female assistant.
Greg Slover, Panhandle principal and former girls' basketball coach, doesn't recall ever putting his arm around a girl - for a reason. Amarillo High swimming coach Tim Estes said it was several years before he even hugged one of his swimmers, and, now, he says, "it's sideways and real quick."
And as far as the lockerroom, either avoid going in, or send a female in first to make sure the environment is safe. Those are just some of the precautions taken by high school male coaches responsible for girls' programs.
"The main thing," Estes said, "is to not let anybody have the opportunity to even think that something improper is going on."
Slover's father, Cecil, was a principal, and his mother, Marie, a homemaking teacher. He followed their career paths, and he said he was taught to do what is necessary to stay out of compromising situations.
The Buddy System
"They prepared me for stuff like that from the time I was old enough to understand," said Slover, now boys' basketball coach as well as principal.
"You do not put yourself into a situation that can compromise your character. If there was a one-on-one meeting with a female player, I might have an assistant coach or another third party at the meeting. It didn't matter if it was male or female - I just needed another third party."
Estes has been a coach of boys and girls in the Amarillo Independent School District for 30 years. The experience has taught him some dos and don'ts. He said he almost never has one-on-one discussions with his girls, and if he absolutely has to, it's no longer than 10 minutes. He does not make bed checks on road trips by himself.
"I make sure somebody else is making the check with me," Estes said. "I don't walk into the girls' room without knocking. If the girls come to my room, I make sure someone else is in there with me. If there is an injury that needs taken care of, the whole team is there."
When Cobb took over girls' wrestling at Tascosa, he was able to get Donna Welch as an assistant even though she was a wrestling novice.
"She did not know anything about wrestling," Cobb said, "but has developed into an excellent coach."
Cobb said the nature of coaching wrestling means he has to come into physical contact with girls - as he always does with boys - to show them holds, escapes or takedowns, but he has other methods as well.
"What I'll do a lot of times is have a male wrestler as an aide and use him to demonstrate," Cobb said.
Wrenn has won consecutive 4A state basketball titles at Plainview. His three assistants are female, which he said was not necessarily by design, although he wanted at least one female assistant.
"Absolutely, I use them as a buffer (as a third party or entering the lockerroom first)," Wrenn said. "I don't think it's mandatory for a man to have a female assistant, but you definitely need one. Our situation just happens to be all of them."
What coaches said needs to be avoided most of all is an allegation of "he-said vs. she-said," or the appearance of wrongdoing.
"I may not have shown girls enough affection, but I was guarded against that," Slover said. "The whole deal there is perception. People in the stands just see your arm around a player. They don't know what you're saying. If you give the wrong perception in a small community, it doesn't take but a hint for a guy to get into trouble."
Don't Go It Alone
Wrenn, who is single, can't recall a confidential conversation with a player when it was just the two of them. Usually, it's just the three of them.
"It's just good policy to have somebody with me. If it was a situation where one of my assistants wasn't there, I would try to get the boys' coach there," he said. "You always need someone there to confirm your story."
Or as Slover says, "Being a male, you're at the mercy of females because, whether it's true or not, exaggerated or not, to most people, you're really guilty unless another person is there."
What about instances where a young girl may have a teen-age crush on a coach and may send signals herself that's she interested in more than playing off-guard?
"I have seen some girls have crushes on younger male coaches," Cobb said. "It would be a fallacy to think that doesn't happen. I'm too old, but I've seen that, yes. It's up to that coach to get that straightened out and deal directly with it while remembering the girls are fighting adolescence and immaturity and try not to hurt their feelings. But it's going to happen."
Slover said sometimes a crush may exist by the position the coach holds, and if it happens, it's important to remember who is the person in charge.
"The coach needs to stop it," Slover said. "He doesn't need to encourage it by flattering himself.
"A lot of times, the girl is infatuated with the fact that the guy's a coach, an authority figure. It's not the guy himself."
Wrenn said it's important to know your players, and know which ones are prone to exaggerate. Also, not being some new guy in town seems to help, he said.
"I've been here for quite a while now, so I go down and work with kids in junior high. We already know each other, so that aspect seems to help," Wrenn said. "To me, this doesn't come down to the position, but the people. Like anything, it's people who make poor decisions."
And there have been enough coaches make regrettable decisions that have cost them a job, a teaching license, or landed them in prison or on probation.
"I don't think it should ever happen," said Jack Turner, girls' track coach at Palo Duro. "It's not just in athletics, but teacher/student relationships in general. I can see how, from a student's point of view, a crush might develop, especially with a younger coach, but it should really never happen."
Slover can see where something combustible between a coach and an impressionable girl could explode.
"I'm understanding of how it could happen because we're all human," Slover said. "We all have weak points throughout our life.
"You take a coach at a weak point who maybe doesn't think much of himself, I think it's possible. A coach could get thrown into a chemistry situation he needs to stay out of."
Cobb, who has coached and taught at Tascosa for 15 years, said it's inevitable that infatuations are going to occur.
"Situations are going to arise," Cobb said. "But if some coach is so egotistical that he needs that shot, he needs to grow up. It's totally inappropriate. There may be some gray area, but you better color it in as quick as you can."
Sometimes, ignorance or naivety is bliss.
"When I first came here, I was 25 years old and I was married. I can only think of one case where a girl did something," Estes said. "I had this girl, this was many years ago, who one day just kept standing there staring at me.
"She'd say these things like 'Your eyes are so beautiful.' I had no idea what she was doing. It wasn't until later that I started thinking about it that it dawned on me that she might have been flirting.
"Now if my wife had been there, she'd have noticed immediately and said that the girl was hitting on me. But I'm not really good at noticing things like that and I just went on doing my business."

Skip to comments.60% of Russians would vote for Putin if elections were held now
Posted on 03/19/2014 12:44:42 PM PDT by goldstategop
MOSCOW, March 19, /ITAR-TASS/. 60% of respondents would vote for President Vladimir Putin if elections were held on the nearest Sunday, according to a poll conducted by the Public Opinion Foundation on March 16.
Three thousand respondents in 204 towns in 64 Russian regions took part in the poll. The margin of error was 3.3 percent.
Analysts say that the results of the poll indicate that Putins electoral rating remains stable and exceeds that before the presidential elections in 2012. Putins rating increased by 7 percent in the last week and by 15 percent in the last month.
Political scientists and sociologists believe that Putins current electoral rating suggests that in a real election he would won the first round with a landslide vote of more than 80 percent.
Dmitry Abzalov, President of the Centre of Strategic Communications, told ITAR-TASS that the growth of Putins rating reflects the public understanding of the degree of responsibility assumed by the head of state when he was making the decision on Crimea.
The rating was also boosted by the success of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Sochi.
As for Crimea, it is responsibility which, in the minds of people, the head of state assumes, Abzalov said, adding that the rating was also pushed up by foreign policy success which is perceived as the personal decision of the president and his personal responsibility.
The Sochi Olympics are also regarded by people as Putins personal project. The Olympic Games added some 7-8 percent [to the presidents rating]. Crimea game just as much and this was before March 19. Clearly, yesterdays statements and events [admission of Crimea and Sevastopol into Russia] would increase it further, Abzalov said.
Pavel Danilin, Director-General of the Centre for Political Analysis, also attributed the growth of Putins electoral rating to the success of the Olympic Games and the incorporation of Crimea into Russia.
He believes that Putins electoral rating may grow to 84 percent.
Obummer has only a 43% approval rating here.
What was that Osama Bin said about people naturally gravitating to The Strong Horse? There is some truth in that, even though strength is not always in indicator of wisdom, or even fairness.
What were the Chancellor's poll numbers like when he retook Alsace?
Pretty high, I'd bet.
A clear reflection in polls of one politician that supports the homosexual agenda and one who advocates Pro Family Values.
60% of Russians would vote for Putin if they were truly allowed to vote.
Ummm, from the polls I've seen, O'Crapper is down at 39%
Obama is a strong horse. That's why every one lines up to show him respect.
Just kidding!
Adolf Hitler was extremely popular too - why don't you praise him as your "conservative" hero?
That's because Russia is full of serfs, and Americans have had their fill of the clown in the White House.
Can't help wondering if Putin wouldn't pull more votes in the US than Obama...
Our adversary has a record of real accomplishments.
Can you name one that Obama has?
Is that 60% in Russia, or the US?
In Russia.
And compared to Crimea - Obamacare is so overrated.
Apparently, Godwin's Law is still in force.
Since he won two years ago with 63% of the vote, his popularity is actually down.
I prefer Obama's ineptitude to Putin's out-of-this-world pure evil. If you consider driving the world towards nuclear Armageddon a worthy accomplishment - you probably should join your comrades in Russia.
I guess you want Jimmy Carter. The 70s are calling again for your foreign policy.
People gravitate to a strong leader who stands up for his country. That's what Putin is doing.
Why don't you get back to licking Obama's boots?
I remember when this was a pro-western, pro-American, pro-conservative website. Now, the "it's Obama's fault" conservatives want to be quislings. Sad. But some are just superficial.
Ol NK Kim is 100% /s
Do you need a point-by-point comparison? Putin fits every definition of a fascist dictator. Just Wikipedia:
Fascist movements shared certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism as a means to achieve national rejuvenation[5][8][9][10] and asserts that stronger nations have the right to expand their territory by displacing weaker nations.[11]
Why don't you just suck on something besides Putin's little pu?
No, I want a strong and assertive USA to kick Putin's little nazi ass. Along with his domestic admirers.
Let me know when 0zer0 hits 35%.
His approval will never equal H.W. Bush's approval, before we voted him out of office.
Obviously, America is not the only country with low information voters.
Apparently a number of Freepers would vote for Putin, too.
Russia lost over 20 million people fighting Nazis.
If our illegal alien from Kenya were running today against Putin (just as legal as obama) I wonder how that would come out?
Yes, the single handed destruction of the world's foremost superpower to banana-republic status in five years.
I'm looking for someone like Putin. Who is feared.
Read your Machiavelli.
And if you STILL think all of the destruction that our AntiChrist in Chief has wrought is a matter of ineptitude, your voter registration card needs to be recalled.
You should understand that polling and voting under United Russia is a big joke.
No one believes it's even mildly honest. The outcome is pre-determined.
That said, he's undoubtedly popular for doing this. Have heard many Russians tell me "we're gonna get the land back".
The question is...going back how far?
Do they think the border ends in Budapest or Berlin?
Which would you rather have, thug Putin kicking sand in our face, or our president Owormtongue stabbing us in the back? Fortunately you don't have to choose as you get to have both for only a modest fee (tax).
Heck, a good % of Americans would vote for Putin—if he was runnin' in the US. Do we even have anyone like him out there? So old general or something? Who?
If Russia's voting laws are as lacking as our own I might even vote for him.
That's BS. If Putin is so popular in Russia then he wouldn't have any need to screw with the vote. Face it: Russian are serfs who voted in their new master and want him to remake their evil empire. Russians are an inferior people and have always will be an inferior people who will never understand the true nature of freedom and personal responsibility.
Yeah, the same idiots who elected Obama.
So what? Stalin and Hitler were allies waiting to stab each other in the back, but Hitler struck first. Russia didn't fight Hitler out of the goodness of their commie hearts.

Jonathan Lucroy staying behind the plate
Catcher has no desire to move to first permanently
Jonathan Lucroy has no interest in doing a Joe Mauer.
When Mauer had issues staying healthy behind the plate, the Minnesota Twins decided to move him to first base to keep him available more in the long term. And while manager Ron Roenicke has started Lucroy eight times at first base to give his legs a periodic rest, the Brewers' No. 1 catcher does not care to change positions on a permanent basis at any point in the future.
"I feel like I'd go from an above-average catcher to an average first baseman," said Lucroy, who returned to the lineup Saturday night after missing a game with right hamstring tightness. "I don't really want to do that.
"To be the best at something, you've got to do that all the time. Some guys are freak athletes and can do that, but I'm not one of those guys."
Lucroy has evolved into one of the better defensive catchers in the league and often is praised for his ability to frame pitches (for strikes) and block balls in the dirt. After doing all the work it took to get there, he's not interested in shifting positions at this point, though the Brewers have had trouble stabilizing first base since Prince Fielder left three years ago.
"I can go over there and hold my own, but I think the way we're doing it now is the best option for me," he said. "I feel like I catch for a long time at high level. I think I can. It was harder for Joe because he's a big guy, and a lot of guys that size don't last as long back there because it's so hard on them."
Roenicke said he has no plans to play Lucroy — who has started 96 games behind the plate — more often at first base but will continue giving him a start there on occasion.
"I think when we see the need to see Maldy (Martin Maldonado) and Luc off his feet, but we have to have his bat in the lineup, that's the time to do it."
Roenicke said there has been no serious internal discussion of possibly moving Lucroy to first base in the future.
"We know he can really hit, but he does such a good job defensively (behind the plate) I don't think we're there," Roenicke said. "We really like Maldy back there every day, if he had to do it, but you take Luc out from behind the plate — I know he's going to hit no matter where you put him — we're not anywhere close to talking about that.
"We talk about everything so we have talked about that because I think he actually could become a good defensive first baseman. He's got great hands and I don't think anything is getting by him. So, he's got the tools to go out there and play, but he's too good back there right now."
Parra makes impact: Newcomer Gerardo Parra already has made an impact with his bat and glove since joining the club, and when he doesn't start, Roenicke said the Brewers' bench is that much stronger.
"We know he's good on defense, but he's got some big hits," Roenicke said. "Any time a guy can join you and do that, it's great."
Roenicke also has been pleased with the work of utility player Elian Herrera, especially when he fills in for shortstop Jean Segura. Herrera is known more as a second baseman but helped shut down a Los Angeles rally in the seventh inning Friday night with a diving catch of a liner and flip to second for a double play.
"He charges the ball outstanding and he's got a really good arm," Roenicke said. "I love what he's doing out there.
"That's the one position he's played the least. When we put him there, it was like, 'I'm not sure.' Then you see the way he plays, and I feel good any time I put him out there."
Rolling a seven: When Mike Fiers started Saturday night against the Dodgers, he became only the seventh pitcher used in the rotation this season, an indication of how stable it had been beforehand. Now, with Jimmy Nelson taking over for Marco Estrada, who was moved to the bullpen, and Fiers filling in for injured Matt Garza (strained oblique), Roenicke was asked if his rotation was stretched as thin as it can go.
"I don't think it's as far as we could go, because we know we're getting Garza back and we know we have Marco down in the bullpen, and if something happens, we still like Marco in there starting," Roenicke said.
"So, I don't think it's stretched to the point where I say, 'Wow, we've got to keep them healthy or I don't know where else to go.' We do know where else to go."
Roenicke still hopes Garza can return after his 15-day stint on the DL is done, but he's halfway through it and hasn't begun throwing again yet.
"Until something happens where I'm led to believe that's not the case, that's my assumption," Roenicke said.
"He was doing pretty good; they've been pushing him with the exercises and today he's a little sore. So, today is a day with no exercise."
As for whether Garza would need a minor-league rehab assignment, Roenicke said, "I don't know. We'll see where he is and see if we think he needs one."

Sydney's New Year fireworks display might be one of the most talked about in the world, but Brisbane also offers its locals quite the show when the big ball drops. In fact, nearly 50,000 people take time out of their New Year's Eve parties to bask in the colorful explosions occurring over the Brisbane River.
If 15 minutes of a glorious lights display is not enough for your New Year's Eve celebrations, the following list of Brisbane New Years Eve events should help you plan the big night.
New Year's Eve Dinner Cruise
Since the river literally runs through the city of Brisbane, it is no wonder that a river cruise is one of the more popular attractions for visitors in Queensland's capital city, let alone on the big night of New Year's Eve. For a spectacular evening, dinner cruises on the Brisbane River allow you relax away from the hustle and bustle of the town and then watch the fireworks with a perfect vantage point.
Brisbane's New Year's Eve Ball
The popular New Year's Eve Ball occurs each year in Brisbane at the RNA Showgrounds, and this year's theme is Heroes and Villains. With your ticket, gain access to free booze and food, and even get entry to an after-party at the Jubilee Hotel.
South Bank Surf Club – Tiki Cocktail Party
Each year, the South Bank Surf Club hosts a cocktail party for the big night of New Year's Eve, and this year's theme is Tiki Cocktail Party. In this case, the Tiki refers to a Hawaiian Luau, and party goers will be able to partake in drinks and a feast according to Hawaiian standards. Learn more and grab tickets early.

This category embraces a wide range of periods and styles from the complex turnings of William and Mary to the carvings of Chippendale and the rich grains of Federal. Painted furniture includes high-style 'fancy' decoration (a style trend of the early 19th Century) as well as the less refined painted finishes of country pieces. We distinguish painted furniture from our Ornamental Painting category by the function of the piece so stylistic overlaps might occur.

Tuesday's quake was just a tune-up for what's about to hit us -- maybe.
Packing winds in excess of 120 mph, Hurricane Irene swatted the Bahamas yesterday and is expected to hit North Carolina today before veering north to the Garden State shoreline on Sunday.
Even a grazing blow could sock New Jersey with heavy rains and winds in excess of 75 mph, meteorologists are saying.
Officials in Hoboken, a city that floods if someone spills a carton of milk, are already warning residents they might have to split town. Perhaps nearby Union City, Weehawken, or Jersey City will take in the Mile Square City refugees.

After Sandy Hook Shooting, Is It Time for More Gun Laws?
Just about everyone in the country knows that 26 people -- incuding 20 children -- were shot and killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut last week, before shooter Adam Lanza killed himself.
The question is: now what?

-Fully-Auto vs. Semi-Auto: The Dividing Line in Gun Control
As you can imagine, after the nth mass shooting in recent memory, some folks are calling for more regulation on firearms.
Our colleague Stephen Lemons pointed out a few of these developments yesterday, including an editorial written by Democratic Congressman Ron Barber.
"There are many other factors that can produce a violent tragedy," Barber wrote in the Arizona Republic. "But we do know that the availability of certain weapons coupled with mental illness is a recipe for disaster."
If you read through the whole thing, he's very cautious in going after the guns, but is adamant about mental-health-related legislation.
Mark Kelly, the wife of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who has slammed Governor Jan Brewer for her comments on guns around the time of the Tucson shooting, was more direct in his comments after the most recent shooting.
"As we mourn, we must sound a call for our leaders to stand up and do what is right," Kelly wrote on Facebook. "This time our response must consist of more than regret, sorrow, and condolence. The children of Sandy Hook Elementary School and all victims of gun violence deserve leaders who have the courage to participate in a meaningful discussion about our gun laws - and how they can be reformed and better enforced to prevent gun violence and death in America. This can no longer wait."
