I was going through old stuff and stumbled upon the holy grail itself, my old pog collection. I'm not one to brag, but my pog game is such fire my house almost burned to the ground. Here are the highlights:
You come at the king, you best not miss. Throwing star pogs always on deck incase things get heated. A shark eating an 8 ball, is that even street legal?
Three Simbas, two wicked witches, and a Fantasia? Dalmatians playing the piano unsupervised? That brown slut Pocahontas? I'm jealous of whoever owns these. O wait it's me. Sick life.
It's morphin time, bitches.
BTW, who is the best Power Ranger of all time? It's clearly between Jason the red ranger and Tommy the green ranger. Jason is the original leader. Tons of heart. The guy you want out there when the planet is on the line. The Charlie Conway of the bunch. But then you have Tommy. Has all the skill in the world and is potentially the GOAT when not working for Rita Repulsa. Adam Banks through and through. I'm a Red Ranger guy, but understand Green Ranger Nation.
Six slammers, each for six different situations. I remember buying my Orioles slammer at the mall kiosk for 5 dollars and it was the most expensive thing I ever paid for with my own money. Felt like a businessman hanging over that Lincoln that'd been in my velcro wallet since my birthday.
Boo, bitch!
Woops, didn't mean to scare ya.
And yea, that's a solid gold Lenny Dykstra slammer.
When you see the Dykstra slammer, you already know it's over. No chance, that's what you've got. First ballot Pog hall of famer, population me.
that slammer is badass. the rest are gay.
100% opposite of your pussy game
one of us
I need that Dykstra slammer and I needed it yesterday.
I like big cat, KFC, and feitletits the best
Tommy the White Ranger because White Power.
You just gained so much respect in my book with this one Nathan
WTF is pog
You've done worse
Hey Nate when are we going to watch The Wire together, maybe this weekend are you free? How is Baltimore such a shithole, im pretty sure the actor who played Mayor Carcetti could get the homicides below 200 whats going on down there
this is good stuff Nate, props.
Cool story hanzel
Blogs about tits are better
anybody have the slammer with a hourglass in it? basically my most prized possession as a 7 year old.
Your blog game is ridiculous.
Amy Jo Johnson, aka pink ranger, was the best.
That's it, you are officially retarded
I remember these vaguely, but most of the memory seems to have been suppressed like a lot of my childhood. What a shame
Respect the Pog game, it respects you back
They're called "cutters" not "star slammers" you blow job
What you fuck are you talking about? idiot.
Your collection sucks. Neil would make you his bitch in pogs and Pokemon.
LA: here's a free lesson. #shootermcgavin
The Dykstra pog is worth more than Dykstra the man right now.
Pimp pog game bro.
The Orioles one is a "chipper." Slammers were metal, choppers were plastic. Pogs (some psychos called them "milkcaps") might seriously be the most absurd fad of all time.
Dude Nate you are on the fucking come up. Whole LA thing really lit that fire huh?
I owned an OJ Simpson slammer. Game Over
your pog game is aight, but your missing an OJ Simpson slammer…
When I fly back home and rummage through my attic I will show you a real POG collection
So your mom made you clean your closet yesterday?
Is that gorilla twisting its own nipples? Fuck that's frightening.
crazy bones was my scene, dominated that shit back in the day.
Pokey-reese knows whats up
I had a pog that was lemon scented. It was sweet.
Best work yet nate
Nate kinda has a KMarko vibe going on. Big Cat and KFC have distinct voices that stand out quickly through their blogs. KMarko and Nate don't stick out as much but are both solid writers who you come to appreciate over time. When I first started reading the stool I thought Kmarko was average, now he's in the Big 3 with Big Cat and KFC. Despite all the shit everyone is giving him about getting off easy because of the LA thing, Nate actually has the potential to join that group of top bloggers.
I have a slammer with a no shit scorpion in it, a fucking scorpion.
This dude fucking gets it
I had a slammer with Kid Vid on it from the burger king kids club, thing had to of been an inch thick. no way it was regulation
Shark eating an 8ball line got me
This blog top 5. Unreal
I just had a panic attack
Barstool LA is the best thing that could've happened for Nate. He just got a free fucking pass
I really thought that you were black before seeing your hand.
I liked tricking other kids into playing slammer on slammer. Cleaned up the neighborhood.
One day, a long time from now, when we are all old & wrinkly & still bashing the young whipper snappers that Portnose hires, we will look back on this blog as the defining moment that Nathan started running with the pack, instead of against it.
You might be in my top 3 now…
"Going through old stuff" = lives with parents = does anal
Used to own a bigfoot slammer, i am going tobuy one onlinenow, thanks
Third grade me and you could have been best of friends
I worked at a store after school that sold pogs. There was a kid that worked with me who used to fart in the pog containers, cap them up and open them a few days later to see if they still smelled.
I had a O.J. Simpson slammer, I'm looking for it now
I had a slammer that was oj running from the cops. I need that back like yesterday
I was going through old stuff and stumbled upon…BULLSHIT u were planning this blog for months
Nate > Everyone right now
Pogs were invented so they could sell Pog holders in mall kiosks which could then be converted into bongs.
You have a shit collection. Kids who sucked at pogs had shit collections. I probably took you for every rat pack you had.
Nate you have officially arrived
Your best blog yet
Being born in 1991 I have no recollection of what a pog is
Wait, does that make this… A POG BLOG?
Shoot me in the face.
When I was 5 I went to the WWF Hall of Fame (it was a banquet dinner back then). They gave out awesome 1995-era WWF pogs. I think I still have the HBK and Undertaker ones.
Top 10 blog ever
No idea what a fucking pog is but this made me laugh anyways
Where's The Juice, In the Slammer
got my OJ slammer @ surf mall in ocean city, NJ. it had the mugshot of him and said OJ in the slammer.
this blog for nate is like ascending into heaven, except instead of heaven its scumbag commenter acceptance. you sir, are one of us now. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.
wowwwww you are a fucking f aaaagggot
Good work. Bet you're absolutely slaying vagine since you moved back in with your parents and started blogging full time.
I have one with OJ Simpson behind bars that says "OJ in the slammer" Beat that Neil I mean Nate
I don't want pong to come back I need it to come back! Fuck all that other gay shit Pokemon or dragonball z nerds
Feel really lame now reading all those OJ comments
Nate I want to like you but you're making me hate you
You can always tell how much of an awkward loser someone was by the amount of pogs they had. Seems about right.
nate, my friend, you have arrived!!
Fucking Nate, you gained respect with this one. Keep it up fuckboy
Lenny Dykatra would impregnante u
I miss my pogs
haha youre quirky as fuck bro. just keep being you.
this blog spoke to me.
pretty sure big cat wrote this blog and sent it to you

Gunnar Bjorgvinsson, a graduate of the University of Iceland, spends his summers guiding sea kayaking trips and hiking trips in his native Iceland and in the winter teaches classes in wilderness skills. He has a vast knowledge of Icelandic culture and history, from its famous mountain trolls to the stories of its Viking seafarers.
Gunnar is a top notch guide. His knowledge and rapport with the group was superb. Having him show us his native land has left me with a admiration of Iceland.

Quiet-spoken, highly knowledgeable, confident, and an excellent leader.

You are not allowed to be Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl. Not even if there's a fire.
Why? Because he's infallible—like Mark Ruffalo or the Pope. He can do no wrong, and playing against him in that 8-bit classic isn't fair or fun.
Jackson isn't the only juggernaut of sports video games. Anyone who has spent any time screaming at digital athletes knows there are certain players (or creatures) in certain games that don't seem to operate by the rules.
The following are those video game athletes—the ones who are above the game, cutting through it like a carefully crafted cheat code. These are the most terrifying video game athletes, and a NATO treaty should be agreed upon to prevent their use and proliferation.

What a waste. These people spend thousands to modify how they look to "improve" themselves and none of these things changes who a person is, just how they look. Before you stick a ring in your nose to become a better you, park a book or two under it and actually become that better person on the inside first.

I loved it give the outlook on body modification warning not for the squeamish there some scenes that are completely graphic and will make you twirl for a while if you have a weak stomach : ) i rate this one a 10/10 very artistic and very educational and very groundbreaking documentary....
|Posted by KLOVELYK 4 years, 9 months ago
This is a great documentary. I was disgusted by some of the surgeries and body modification. However, we fear what we don't know. So, documentaries such as this allows a closed-minded person to be a little more open-minded and less judgmental. BLeSS. K~

moral of the story is everybody has done some kind of body modification. good doc tho. some of it is graphic heads up

Great documentary but extremely graphic! I couldnt watch the penis mods or the tongue one. It just completely freaked me out! But I really enjoyed the insight I got into the mod community. Really interesting stuff. Def worth a look, but if your sensitive I suggest you stay away! 7/10 for me.

I thought it was a great documentary. I have to say that I am intrigued at how many people think people are modifying themselves in order to somehow change what they are. This is to miss the point completely. Most of these people aren't modifying how they look to change who they are. They're modifying how they look in order to more closely match who they always have been. I was also happy to see the emphasis on how individual it is.
|Posted by lolirita 4 years, 9 months ago
Great documentary. Very insightful indeed. It felt pretty graphic, yet I could not stop watching. It's very interesting to hear/see the reasons why some people opt to modify their bodies.
|Posted by BeingUsedAlready 5 years, 5 months ago
One of the most graphic and compelling documentaries I've ever seen. If you can get through the few surgery scenes, definitely take the time to watch. My opinion on people like them has changed drastically, I no longer consider them freaks and jump to judgement. Very well put together film. 5/5
|Posted by adenjames 5 years, 6 months ago
wonderful documentary. very insightful and informative. gave me a lot of knowledge into the subject of body modification and every sense there is really. gave me ideas and realizations about my own body modifications. definitely a must see for any lover of the taboo or anyone who is into body mod 10/10!

Great documentary on body modification. Very graphic and insightful. Very nicely done. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to understand body modifcation or possibly toying with the idea of it for themselves.
|Posted by alena_gore 4 years, 9 months ago
i loved this. most people get ridiculed if they have tattoos or percings or if they just look different than what the "normal" people are used to seeing every day and this docymentary gives you a deeper look into the lives of those people and helps you understand why they modify their body, either if it's for religous reasons or for vanity. I myself have my ears streched and have a few tattoos coming my way and i don't think that people should be shunned or treated differently just because of their appearance. i give it 5\5

I find it rather disturbing (mostly the vanity industry), how certain companies spent a large portion of their advertising belittling, putting down people (mostly women (because they are so easily brainwashed by this industry)) individuals with regard to their physical appearance and, no matter what you do, the way you look, what you wear, what sexual behaviour you should have etc etc is not good enough unless you buy into their product. Nowadays, it is taking this to the levels of actual physical surgery to parts of the body because certain people (as mentioned, women) feel it ' does not measure up ', to the perfect body. Go on a diet, look like a stick, no tits (because they mostly comprise of fat), no shape.....but we'll shape you like a woman with silicon implants, botox implants, skin stretching, tummy tucks etc etc and you'll look totally artificial, false....but hey, they've made their money and you look awful....but as said, ' Women are so easily brainwashed and parted with their money ', so why should we care. surgey should only be allowed in extreme cases where it is needed (eg breast implant after the real breast has been removed due to cancer) and not to satisfy the vanity industry.....and no, not for, allegedly, so-called confidence building or any other psychological ailment due to or partly due to the vanity industry. Surgery on the body should be based on proper medical evidence and not on the ' I want to look like this because I think it will make me look better..... syndrome '.

No. 1 pick McDavid ready to focus on being hockey player for Otters
The fanfare won't seem quite as overwhelming when Connor McDavid returns to Erie in two weeks.
The OHL Priority Selection behind him, along with constant attention surrounding the league's most talked-about prospect in several years, McDavid can refocus on being a hockey player again.
He can regain a sense of normalcy on and off the ice, even for someone expected to be the face of the Otters' rebuilding effort.
"I'm really looking forward to that," McDavid said April 6, the day he was introduced as the No. 1 pick during a draft party at the Bayfront Convention Center. He will attend the Otters' awards banquet April 29 at the Bayfront. But this time, he will stand alongside the team's 2012 draft class. Even before that, he will join other Otters' prospects at a rookie orientation camp April 27-28 at Mercyhurst Ice Center.
"I'm just really excited for everything to start happening," said McDavid, 15, a native of Newmarket, Ontario.
Hockey Canada, the sport's national governing body, granted McDavid exceptional player status March 21. Since then, a spotlight has followed him everywhere.
McDavid faced a news conference about his newly appointed status that same day, even though he felt ill and was on a family vacation in Montreal. On April 6, he was the center of attention among roughly 150 of the Otters' corporate partners and season-ticket holders at the draft party. The next day, he faced the news media in Toronto after being officially announced as the No. 1 pick.
He was a hot topic on Twitter and an instant celebrity among Otters fans on Facebook.
Yet hockey always has been McDavid's priority.
"It's just his passion," his mother, Kelly, said, "and his drive keeps him going."
The Otters' first offseason workout allows McDavid to begin preparing for his first OHL season without many outside distractions. At this point, he said, he will feel more comfortable with hard work on and off the ice than the attention he will face around the league.
"I'll take care of the on-ice part," he said.
Sherry Bassin, Otters managing partner and general manager, is impressed with McDavid's ability to quickly refocus on honing his skills despite everything going on around him. McDavid adapts well to every situation, Bassin said.
"Everyone can tell you about his ability. I can tell you what I saw in his character," Bassin said. "That's why he's going to be the player he is, because of his character. When you put character together with ability, you usually get a star."
McDavid will start the 2012-13 season in September as the OHL's youngest player. Exceptional status allowed him to enter the draft a year ahead of his age-based draft year. "I'm sure the family was excited," Bassin said. "But I can tell you they weren't any more excited than we were."
Hockey Canada's ruling has made the worst season in Otters' history easier to bear.
"I'm glad that it unfolded (the way it did) in order to get this guy," Bassin said. "I'm not upset about our season because of the results."
Bassin said McDavid is "the kind of guy that can lead you to championships." Now Bassin needs to continue building a strong team because, he said, "we've got an honest chance to win something with him. We're not just getting a special player; we're getting a special person."
That's a lot of pressure for McDavid to face. Focusing on hockey will help him handle it.
"No one is harder on me than me," he said.

Source: Golden Boy Grabs 11/17 on Showtime, Not TMT
By Rick Reeno
A source with knowledge of the details has advised BoxingScene.com that Golden Boy Promotions has a hold on the date of November 17th on Showtime. According to the source, Golden Boy is planning to stage a significant event on the date.
This past Sunday, BoxingScene reported that TMT Promotions were looking to stage their first event on the date of November 17th, on Showtime. The newly formed company, run by rapper turned promoter 50 Cent, is looking to do a doubleheader featuring Yuriorkis Gamboa (21-0, 16KOs) and Andre Dirrell (20-1, 14KOs).
From what BoxingScene understands, a "deal is in place" for Gamboa to challenge Juan Carlos Salgado (26-1-1, 16KOs) for the IBF super featherweight title. Dirrell's rumored opponent, WBA interim-super middleweight champion Brian Magee (36-4-1, 25KOs), is not a lock.

I just want to make this quick update to tell about something that happened to me yesterday and probably to say why I wasn't here on Wednesday
Since this weeks Monday morning, I started to have a pain in my stomach that always came and then went away only to return later. The same thing was happening on Tuesday, where I didn't go to school and went to a medical check as my mom was worried that I would have Appendicitis. I didn't have the symptoms of it, but because the doctor was in doubt, he said that if the pain gets worse it was better to go to emergency. Next day, I decided to go to school and if the pain would get worse, I would call so my mom could pick me up. It did got worse, so I called her and went to an hospital that was closer to my grandparents house. They made me a blood text and I waited till they could do me an x-ray text of the sector that I was having the pain. When they did it, the doctor found out that I had the appendix swollen, but it wasn't sure if it was Appendicitis, so they called for a surgeon to see if it was that. When he came, he checked the part that had the pain and it was truth: I had Appendicitis. They said that the only cure for that was doing a surgery to extract the appendix before it could get worse, and although I was a little nervous, I accepted to do that and my mom and I weren't afraid as she had surgeries before and one is sedated on a surgery and they were doctors that knew what they were doing (the main surgeon was very friendly). After we accepted, a nurse change me to patient gowns and sent me on a wheelchair to the operation floor of the building. After a good luck from my mom and from other people he called about the news, I entered the building to get my operation (not without going to the bathroom first). After they put me on the surgery room, they strapped my arms and sedated me untill I fell asleep. And just as quicly as I fell down for the sedative, I woke in what I thought were 5 minutes later and discovered that they doctors finished the operation of the extraction of the appendix and two hours passed (the operation started around 8:30 pm and finished at 11:00 pm). I looked at my stomach and found a white bandage covering the part where I got my appendix extracted. After some minutes and a pain I had if I moved my body, they sent me to a room where my mom was waiting for me and I would sleep with her during the whole night at the hospital. Surprisingly, I sleept very well and had a good conversation with the nurse where she came in one of her times to check me.
The next morning (aka: today) I woke up at 7:00 o'clock very fine and I saw that my mom slept in the sofa of the room and my uncle, Raul, came to visit and brought one of those juices in box that I had to drank very slowly, because I just got from an operation. After having breakfast, the main surgeon came in to ask how I was doing and said that the operation was a succes and I would leave the hospital around 12:00 o'clock. I slept for another hours and when it was 12:00 pm (not in the night of course) I dressed up and left the hospital. Now i'm here typing this long wall of text.
Like I said, even if I was a bit nervous, I wasn't afraid and in the end, the operation was quite short. During the time when I was waiting to do the x-ray exam, I used my mom's tablet to navigate the internet, but because the connection wasn't that good, I mainly used it to lurk wikipedia and investigate about some bands I want to hear more sometime like The Verve and Los Campesinos! and one I haven't heard of any song, but plan to do (The band is Happy Mondays if you're asking). I probably should have used Youtube to hear some songs to relax myself, but it didn't matter that much and after and before the operation I had Supergrass's famous song Alright blasting in my head to tell myself that everything was going to be fine. Really, who wouldn't be relaxed with a happy songs like this one:
Also, this morning to relax myself I heard these two songs on my Kindle Fire my mom's boyfriend brought me from my house:
Really, sometimes music is a great companion for moments like the one I had.
Although I still need to get better from the operation and I have an annoying pain in my throat due to having a tube in the operation, i'm altleast at my house and I expect the throath pain to dissapear tomorrow.
I also would like to tell here that last week I got two new games that I'll probably talk about them later. The games are:
To keep it short, i'm enjoying both games so far. I'm interested in the combat and social links in Persona 3 and the paint brush mechanics seem interesting in Okami (even if the combat is kind of messy so far).
That's all for today. Sorry if it doesn't have anything to do with gaming (except the ending) and that I had spent much of this blog talking about my removed appendix. I just wanted to get that out of the way, and I know some people might care.

BreitBurn announced today they were suspending their distribution until ??? Probably at LEAST through the rest of the year.KWK own 40% of BBEP units. Non only will the value of the KWK investment go down, but KWK will also loose an appreciable cash flow coming in annually from BBEP. KWK own 21.3 million units of BBEP. At the recent run rate for BBEP's distribution ($2.08/year), KWK will loose $44 million in incoming cash flow they were counting on.Monday is going to be very grim for BBEP, and KWK will feel the pain too.
I can't feel too bad for KWK, which happens to have a frivilous lawsuit against BBEP.
Good Call
Well, today was grim for BBEP (-34.32%), and "merely" ugly for KWK (-22.68%). But KWK's tumble today had two separate causes, which combined to create a "big bad news" day. Not only did the BBEP distribution cut announcement happen after the close on Friday, but KWK also announced before the market today that their interest rate range on the revolving credit facility went up. Perhaps the two events were actually related somehow (banks reacting the BBEP cut effect on KWK?? I don't know the timing), but I think the market's knee jerk reaction was to see two bad news items and say OH NO.
first off, I reported both these issues in a previous post, but second.... this ISSSSSSSS bad news!terrible news.the IR increase can go 4 times as high, from .006% to .024 , and thats on a current balance of over 900 million dollars!!!!!say 16 million for that, 44 million a year for loss of distribution. how to pay for these shortfalls? increased production, or use MORE of the line of credit?arggggggg
KWK pointed a gun at their OWN head by filing the frivolous lawsuit with BBEP. Unit price went down as a result.Now, by "temporarily" eliminating the distribution, BBEP has called KWK's bluff and pulled back the hammer on the pistol.Go ahead. Make my day!

RANGOON — Japan will lend Burma US$504 million and will cancel $1.74 billion of Burmese debt as part of a series of weekend deals that included a pledge to push development of a proposed port and commercial zone at Thilawa, a half-hour drive from downtown Rangoon, Burma's commercial capital.
Making the first visit by a Japanese prime minister since 1977, Shinzo Abe arrived on Friday and spent three days in Burma. He led a 40-strong business delegation that included heads of some of Japan's biggest companies—another signal that Asia's second-biggest economy wants a lead role in Burma's fast-opening economy. Over the past year, Burma President Thein Sein and National League for Democracy (NLD) leader Aung San Suu Kyi visited Japan, while Abe's Finance Minister Taro Aso was in Burma in January.
Key to Japan's growing engagement with Burma is the proposed Thilawa Special Economic Zone, a 2,400-hectare site likely to include manufacturing and textile operations, says Masaki Takahara, director of JETRO, Japan's overseas trade mission in Rangoon.
"Construction should start in the fall this year at Thilawa," Takahara told The Irrawaddy. "We hope that it will be operational by early 2015."
Building industrial zones is central to attracting large-scale Japanese investment, said Takahara, who cited Burma's on-again, off-again electricity supply as another deterrent to doing business. "For now, there is a lack of infrastructure in Myanmar. Power shortages make it difficult to establish large-scale manufacturing for now, but we are hoping these issues can be solved."
During her recent trip to Japan, opposition leader Suu Kyi fretted that Japanese investment to Burma could stall unless Burma upgrades its antiquated road and telecommunications networks.
Japan's new half-billion-dollar loan to Burma is aimed at addressing some of these infrastructure gaps, Takahara added.
As well as boosting aid and loans to Burma, Japan is writing off $1.74 billion in debt arrears owed to it by Burma—the weekend announcement coming just over a year after Tokyo said it would cancel the bill if Burma continued to reform.
"Since both governments acknowledged continuation of Myanmar's reform efforts, the Government of Japan has decided to clear said overdue charges," said a Japanese Foreign Ministry press release. In January, Japan and other creditors canceled or softened repayment terms for much of the total $15 billion debt that Burma owed to donor countries and institutions.
Prior to Abe's visit, Japanese firms announced several deals in Burma in recent weeks, including one high-profile infrastructure deal—with Japan's Sumitomo and NEC saying they would work on improving Burma's telecommunications network.
And although large-scale Japanese manufacturing operations have yet to come to Burma, Japanese businesses see an untapped consumer goods market in Burma and want to establish a foothold ahead of Western competitors.
"More and more are thinking of entering the market in Myanmar and establishing a dominant position ahead of everyone else," Takahara said.
Japan is moving fast to establish itself in Burma ahead of Western investors, now relatively free to set up shop in Burma after the US and EU governments removed most of the sanctions that had curtailed investment in recent years.
Yuki Akimoto, director of BurmaInfo Japan, told The Irrawaddy that the scale and breakneck pace of Japan's re-engagement with Burma is an attempt "to make up for lost time," after Japanese investment stalled in the latter years of military rule in Burma.
During that time, investment in Burma from other Asian economies, particularly China and Thailand, raced ahead of Japan, but now Tokyo sees an opportunity to boost foreign investment in a long-lost market and, perhaps, help jump-start Japan's own sluggish economy.
Chinese investment has largely been in Burma's natural resources sectors that, no matter how profitable, do not typically provide large-scale employment.
And overall, foreign investment into Burma jumped almost five-fold in 2012, compared with 2011, President Thein Sein said recently, with much of the increase said to be in the labor-intensive garment sector.
With high youth unemployment in an estimated 50-60 million population, Burmese politicians such as Suu Kyi have said that the country needs to attract investment that provides jobs, and Japan's aid and investment could contribute to job generation, says a Rangoon-based business consultant, who asked that his name be withheld. "By developing light and light-heavy industries with Japanese assistance, Myanmar hopes to increase exports and jobs," he told The Irrawaddy.
With Japan and China at odds over disputed islands in the East China Sea, Japan's blossoming business-based relations with Burma mean that Tokyo can push back against Beijing, in the Southeast Asian nation that until recently was increasingly looking like a Chinese satellite state.
The United States seems to have similar unspoken ambitions in Burma, and the recent thaw in relations between the United States and Burma—with Thein Sein visiting Washington, D.C., last week—has given Japan the go-ahead to re-establish its own dormant ties with Burma, said Akimoto.
"During military rule, however, the Japanese government felt it had to suppress that desire because it was under pressure from the US government and it wanted, to a certain degree, to go along with the sanctions regime. Now it is like a dam broken."
Akimoto warned, however, that "local communities in Burma still lack concrete legal tools to prevent or mitigate negative impacts by development projects," something she says Japanese investors should be mindful of.
Japan's drive to invest in Burma is being watched closely in neighboring Thailand, where Japanese auto manufacturers are a mainstay of an economy that also relies on Burma's gas for power generation, and depends on 2-3 million low-wage Burmese migrant workers. The Thilawa SEZ is one of three large-scale industrial zones planned for Burma in the coming years, with the others slated for Maday Island and Kyaukphyu in Arakan State—the starting point for oil and gas pipelines that will cut across Burma into China's Yunnan province, and in Dawei/Tavoy in Burma's south.
The Dawei project, if it goes ahead, will link a huge SEZ on Burma's coast with Thailand's capital Bangkok.
Speaking in Japan last week ahead of Abe's visit to Burma, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra pitched for additional Japanese investment into Thailand, with Thai Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul saying Japan would benefit from Dawei, due to the proposed "linkage of the Indian and Pacific Oceans through the East-West Economic Corridor, which would lower logistics costs and allow tighter supply chains," according to a Thai government press statement.
Yingluck's brother, former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, recently visited Burma and met with Army chief Gen Min Aung Hlaing, prompting speculation that Dawei was one of the issues discussed.
However Japan's and Burma's focus on the Thilawa project has likely increased concerns in Thailand about Dawei, an $8 billion project for which Thailand is seeking large-scale Japanese and other private foreign funders.
"The Abe visit to Myanmar and Japan's intensifying interest in developing Thilawa as opposed to Dawei should prompt the Thai government to rethink its strategy," said Thitinan Pongsudhirak, a Thai political analyst from Bangkok's Chulalongkorn University.
Burma's loss is Thai's gain. Don't let it happen again. It should be the other way around.
I don't think Japan will be the only nation "making up for lost time". Various nations and their representatives are pushing and shoving to join the queue to "invest" in Burma. Yes, the current ruling party (either in longyis or in army uniforms) and their cronies will no doubt get rich but whether the ordinary Burmese citizen will actually benefit from these investments is another matter.
Look at the investments of Chinese money in dams, off-shore drilling and gas pipelines — all the resulting hydro-electrical power, oil and gas go straight back to China. The people who were forcibly relocated, their villages and lives destroyed to make way for these projects — what did they get? Where are they now? They were never compensated for their homes and jobs that were supposed to come with these projects never materialized because the Chinese brought their own labourers and workers.
No, the current government, just like the previous ones, will have no compunction in selling off Burma's natural resources to outside interests so long as their pockets are lined with gold and their friends and family are taken care of. Sod the people and their problems — that has been the default position of the successive Burmese governments for the last half century. If I were a betting man I would bet my house on them screwing their own people as they always do.
We , all poor Burmese welcome with all oversea investments if it benefits ordinary Burmese people. However, than shwe and thein sein can stop all businesses anytime with any reason ( see hydropwer case with China). Dawie is not safe place compared to Rangoon and Mandalay because Dawei is owned by ethnic as well. The safe place to invest is Nay Pyi daw for the time being.

"In Sketching User Experiences, Buxton gave a compelling argument as to WHY sketching is so important to design. In this excellently-designed companion, he and his co-authors show HOW. I have been haranguing students for years with the message that they should be doing a lot of sketching, and this is the first guide I can really use to show them what it means and how it works."--Terry Winograd, Professor at Stanford University and founding faculty member of its 'D.School' and author of Bringing Design to Software
"As an interaction designer who teaches, I've waited a while for a book like this! Sketching User Experiences – The Workbook is a design-by-doing guide for practitioners and students on how to integrate design practice, techniques and thinking into the practices of human-computer interaction and interaction design. As the companion piece to Bill Buxton's Sketching User Experience, this book is a one-two combination for learning and doing design in a world of interaction."--Ron Wakkary, Associate Professor at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology, Simon Fraser University and Co-Editor-in-Chief of ACM interactions magazine
"Don't be put off by the title. This is a book for non-artists, albeit those developing user interfaces who recognise how much visual communication helps clients and colleagues understand design concepts. If, as a non-artist, you already produce 'visuals' you probably use software with a library of images and preformed shapes…This is a very positive book for the non-artist. It is profusely and relevantly illustrated and has a 50:50 balance between print and illustrations, which makes it very easy to dip into for ideas. The layout of the 250 pages is a demonstration of how uncluttered layout combined with simple design produces a highly effective teaching tool. To reinforce the point, there is also a detailed index."--<

Steven Hill: So when the authorities say "a recovery is under way" or "stimulus rather than deficit reduction" or "deficit reduction instead of stimulus," remember: These are the same experts who are unsure of how to measure, who too often substitute ideology and partisanship for broken theory, and usually have been flat wrong in their assessments.
The New Employment Numbers: Things are Worsening More Slowly
So let's be grateful that the economy is getting worse more slowly than it was. But don't be lured into thinking we're ever going back to where we were. Most of the jobs that have been lost are never coming back.
Obama Rescuing Capitalism: That's a Lot of Weight for One Brother
Back in December, when it was obvious that the economy was in bad shape and before we knew how precarious it could get, Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International and columnist for Newsweek and the Washington Post, wrote, "For Obama to be remembered as a great president, he has to do nothing less than rescue […]
The $3 Trillion War
What's the true cost of the war in Iraq? The total, long-term cost of everything from tanks and jet fuel and the interest on the money Washington is borrowing to the cost of caring for a double amputee for 40 years? It's probably a lot higher than you think, but try about $3 trillion. That's […]

If you're ready to be swept away on another whimsical adventure with indie director Wes Anderson, you don't have too much longer to wait. The trailer for Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel" was just released.
Bilbo, Gandalf and the merry band of gold-seeking dwarves are back in action in the new trailer for Peter Jackson's second "The Hobbit" installment.
Daniel Radcliffe is returning to his literary roots, but this time he's playing the writer and not the writer's invention.
Mary Poppins is one of the most beloved Disney characters and if you're only familiar with the Julie Andrews' film, you may be unaware that first, Mary Poppins was a popular novel by author P.L. Travers. The road to turning that novel into a Disney classic wasn't an easy one, as the author didn't want to see her character tarnished or warped into an unrecognizable cartoon. And now that difficult journey is a film called "Saving Mr. Banks."
The new trailer for Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" is out and in it some good girl actresses go bad.
Oscar buzz is already surrounding Daniel Day-Lewis' performance as Abraham Lincoln in "Lincoln." Now you can get your first glimpse at what the fuss is all about. The official trailer for Steven Spielberg's historical drama about President Lincoln's final days in office was revealed Thursday during a Google+ chat.
After 3 films based on shaky cams, doors closing and startling camera cutaways, the big question with "Paranormal Activity 4" is if there are any scares left for this fourth film? Things look pretty promising with this new trailer.
The Lee Daniels' film is based on Pete Dexter's 1995 novel about a reporter investigating the wrongful conviction of a sleazy inmate on death row.
Generally, video games turned into film adaptations tend not to work that well, but we really enjoyed the first "Silent Hill" movie and have high hopes for the sequel…especially since it stars our beloved Jon Snow…err Kit Harrington. Plus, the trailer for "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D" looks pretty awesome. Check it out below.
David Mitchell's ambitious novel, "Cloud Atlas" has been adapted for the big screen and the first trailer has just been released. The exquisite teaser runs close to 6 minutes (the film is about three hours).

Concussions also are incredibly strong. Lasting 10 seconds completely immobilizing people. Flash don't last that long and you need to hit them in front and even then you can possible still see well enough to still fight. Concussion lands anywhere around you and you're paralyzed. Plus you know what type of affect you have when concussion hits, I don't know what I'm getting with flash grandes.
Just run around with tactical wild card and load up x2 flash and EMP, and just launch them all over the map. with scavenger it's one of the most annoying things in the game...I love it.

Dragonfire doesn't, AGR can survive 2. At least it kept coming after I fired 2 locked on missles at it.
Considering you can naturally equip 2 EMP and that is enough to destroy virtually any kill streak that isn't in the air (not including dragonfire) that's pretty damn powerful.

I think the EMP is well balanced.
Seeing as how you cant just sneak up behind a sentry gun and knife it to disable it....the EMP is the next best way to disable enemy electronics.
Concussions are the same way they have been in every single other CoD before this. Theres nothing wrong with them and if you honestly are going to complain about them its because Treyarch removed all other "Broken" things and so you've ran out of things to complain about therefore you chose to complain about concussion grenades.
in BO1 the back up complaint was Ghost/Flak Jacket

I never run anything that can be destroyed by an EMP grenade so they don't bother me at all.
xReflectingGodx 4 years ago#8
Do you know what EMP means? A wall isn't going to stop it. It works how its supposed to. It fries electronics, rendering them useless. And missiles taking down planes? Hmm... Maybe because it explodes on impact and those planes are full of gas, which is highly combustible.

The only thing I hate about concussions is that you can't see your teammates name above them, so you can't tell who's on which side without looking dumb.

BCK Real Estate enters into merger
BARRE A Barre-based real estate company has joined forces with a property management firm from St. Johnsbury in a merger that representatives of both companies say will help them better serve their clients.
The deal involving BCK Real Estate and Northeast Kingdom Property Management was announced Tuesday.
Our combined companies and collective talent have unprecedented strength and resources to serve the residential and commercial property management and leasing market in the Northeast Kingdom, said Aine Baker of Northeast Kingdom Property Management in a news release. It is a win-win for the clients of each company, as they can expect the same outstanding service they are accustomed to and deserve.
John Biondolillo, chief executive officer of BCK Real Estates growing family of companies, agreed.
This will be a seamless transition since BCK and NEKPM are firms with shared values and the highest standards of professionalism, he said in a news release.
BCK already had a foothold in the Northeast Kingdom, where it operates as Quatrini Real Estate a company that was started in St. Johnsbury in 1968.
Now a wholly owned subsidiary of BCK, Quatrini Real Estate is one of nine real estate brokerage offices BCK operates in Vermont. The others are BCKs headquarters in Barre, as well as offices in Essex Junction, Montpelier, Northfield, Rochester, Mendon, Morrisville and Stowe.
BCK also operates property management and leasing businesses in Stowe under its Stowe Realty brand, as well as in central Vermont as BCK Property Services.MORE IN This Just InHarwood Union graduate Haley Spittle was named North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week after...

The 2013 Lights of Love campaign soared past its goal of $50,000 to raise more than $70,000 to benefit the Phoebe Cancer Center according to a release from Phoebe.
The 2013 donations will be used to renovate the radiation oncology clinic waiting area, including new, comfortable seating more conducive to the needs of patients.
"The Phoebe Cancer Center is extremely grateful to the Junior Woman's Club and Phoebe Foundation for their dedication to improving the quality of life for cancer patients in Southwest Georgia," said Linda Van der Merwe, vice president of oncology services at Phoebe
Putney Memorial Hospital. "The waiting area has remained the same for more than 10 years, and we look forward to the changes that will make the space a more inviting place for those fighting cancer."
A collaboration of the Junior Woman's Club of Albany and Phoebe Foundation, "Lights of Love" is an annual fundraiser that gives the community an opportunity to honor or remember their loved ones while giving a special gift to cancer patients and their families. The Lights of Love tree, located outside the main entrance of the hospital during the holidays, holds symbolic white lights representing those honored and remembered.
"Our relationship with the Phoebe Foundation is very strong," said Bonnie Hardegree, president of the Junior Woman's Club. "I am pleased with what we have been able to accomplish with this year's campaign through our combined efforts, as well as the work of our tree lighter, Patsy Martin. We look forward to this relationship continuing in the future."
The $70,000 total exceeded the highest total previously raised, which was $66,823 in 2004.

The Cleveland Browns started the season with a quarterback plan: Josh McCown is the starter, Johnny Manziel is his backup.
They're going back to it.
McCown was cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol Wednesday to practice and will start against Oakland, moving back into the lineup ahead of Manziel, who threw two touchdown passes and led the Browns to their first win on Sunday.
"It's obviously disappointing," Manziel said Wednesday. "I'm not going to sit here and say that I love the decision."
Browns Coach Mike Pettine considered several factors before deciding to go back to McCown, who was...

The thought of not having any NBA action this year is both frustrating and surreal. The players and owners are set to continue negotiations today, but with little progress made to this point, things are not looking good.
As we enter some kind of NBA bizarro world, let's take some time look at some of the most bizarre individual players in league history. I'm not basing this roster solely on weirdness. Rather, this is an endeavor to present a roster of the most talented weirdos the game has ever seen.

Shortyz Crosswords
Robert "kebernet" Cooper
- March 15, 2016
( 12,642)
Shortyz is a crossword puzzle application that downloads a number of free puzzles, and with a paid subscription, the NYT.
Circle +Shortyz on Google+!
Great for crosswords I've had this app for a few years now, and I've always really liked it, especially because you can get lots of puzzles without being nagged to subscribe to keep using them. One feature I do not like as far as functionality goes, is the double-tap zoom feature... Because double-tapping is also how you switch between Down/Across clues. So sometimes it just keeps zooming out further and further, when I just want to switch clues. Other than that, no complaints about this app.
Good but times never worked right This is a great program that has liked many hours of waiting time in offices, dr appts, but it didn't deserve the title because times crossword is always stuck on one and same crossword every week. This needs to be fixed to deserve Dr. Will Shortz name on it. Yes it says Shortzy but that's an obvious implication to the NYT crosswords! The hardest and most fun of them all.
I've been using Shortyz for year, and this app is great for doing the NYT Crossword. However, it still doesn't handle rebus puzzles, which is only an occasional issue, but it makes it tough to do them when they show up. Also, I would love to see it keep cumulative stats (best time for each day, etc.)
I love this app I do crosswords to tire out my brain at night so I can sleep. I love the variety of puzzles and options to turn hints on or off, use keyboards, resize the board etc. I just wish there was a night mode option so it doesn't hurt my eyes so much to play in the dark. My screen filter can't make it dark enough without making it impossible to read anything.
I love this app. Q: for the mobile phone (I have android) would you consider following the phone's settings for keyboard sounds and the haptic feedback please. Regards, Allen UPDATE - got a new phone - Galaxy S7 and put your app on it. I put in my NYT credentials but it does not download the NYT Crossword now. I do not get an error message like I do if I put in the wrong credentials and I can download other puzzles that do not need authentication. :-( Hope you can help.
Was higher rating Was a better app but latest updates caused me to be less excited. As many have said, a simple fat finger or typing error before a word is finished shouldn't be counted against me. If I correct the mistyped letter before moving on, that should not add to error count. Some puzzles have answer boxes shortened. Clearly a mistake in conversion. The author has clearly stopped paying close attention to the app.
What's New
New setup screens. Lots of cleanup.

after ordering a set of knock offs from flea'bay (trying to save a couple dollars) they exploded in my rim.. i found this site and ordered another set (front and rear) shipping was fast, nicely packaged the installation was simple (pregreased bearings). I've put a couple hundred miles on the bike since then and the bike rides so smooth, i wish i would of done it sooner. . bottom line, buy a set for your bike.
Jim (Bedford )
Where's the love for vintage RM's?
Dave (New York Mills )
Excellent replacements and easy to install.
FRed (Royal Oak )
Installed the first bearing and was disappointed at how long it took. Watched an install video and the rest fell right into place. Seems to be a good product.
Victor (Bensalem )
aside from the shipping fee...it is a good set of bearings thus far. The shop that put them in had no issue and it went smooth.

Consumer Skin Care Products The company supplies and licenses to skin care contract manufacturers and materials suppliers certain of its proprietary cosmeceutical peptides for inclusion in their acne treatment, anti-aging skin care, color cosmetics, and specialty body care products. The company sells its proprietary skin care products through distributors and directly to consumers. The company's license agreement with Goldschmidt GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Evonik GmbH (Evonik), a supplier of cosmetic ingredients, provides Evonik with exclusive rights to certain of its peptides targeted towards skin care and personal care applications. Evonik launched a second Helix BioMedix peptide in October 2010 under the name Tego Pep 4-Even. Helix BioMedix Branded Products The company launched its proprietary skin care products under the Striking brand 2008. The product line, which was positioned for the market of perimenopausal and menopausal skin, introduced its exclusive Helix BioMedix SmartPeptide Heptapeptide-7 technology that helps nourish keratinocytes to support skin renewal. The Striking Skin Care line consists of four products: Multi-Vitamin Creme Cleanser, Multi-Peptide Serum, Rejuvenating Eye Creme and Restorative Moisture Creme. The company's products are distributed through its ecommerce Websites at www.apothederm.com and www.strikingskincare.com, as well as through spas, select catalogues and skin care Internet retailers. In addition, in 2010, the company launched the Cerakine Anti-Aging Skin Care product line, which includes a multi-vitamin cleanser, eye cream, moisturizer and serum that form a core daily cleansing and moisturizing ritual. Helix BioMedix Private Label Products The company supplies private label products to strategic partners with expertise in certain market segments.

Rx Programs The company develops a topical anti-infective for the treatment of skin and wound infections and the prevention of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) infections including those caused by Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). These programs are based upon a family of molecules known as lipohexapeptides (or small molecule peptides) that the company developed to specifically combine the attributes of small molecule natural products with the advantages of antimicrobial peptides. The company's topical Rx product development activities are focused on acne anti-infectives, MRSA, and fungal infections. Strategy The company's business strategy is to develop its peptide and small molecule portfolio to derive revenue from a broad base of opportunities, including licensing rights to third parties to use select proprietary peptides in specific fields of application and commercializing its own branded products.
