There has been a lot of talk about animals in some form or other, and I got to wondering what sort of names people here are giving to their pets. There has got to be some good names (and stories) in this group. Or, it'd be fun to "hear" a few names you think would be great for a pet.
I think the most unique name in my family was made by my brother when he was very little. We had a female black cat named Tippetywitchet.
These days I've got a little manx named Cadfael (after the fictional Welsh Benedictine monk). My Cadfael is quite friendly, looks different than any cat in the house and since he came home from the shelter, he's, er... celibate.
My brother's cat is named Isis, and while it's a pretty name, we joke it would have been more appropriate to call her Menhit, another egyptian goddess who's name means "she who slaughters". His kitty is quite the aggressive little darling...
Does your pets names suit them, or have the nicknames taken over as their personalities emerged? I'd like to know.

Our cat is called Shah, since every cat knows that is is king of its domain. The name was also intended as a (feeble) pun on chat, a pun that would not work if we had used the feminine form of Shah. I am not looking to the time when I must use the expression from which checkmate derives.

Our cat's name is Fru-Fru. This was an attempt to appease my father when we got her - he hates cats. It's an informal Sardinian word for little cookies - I think they're called ice wafers or just wafers in English, although they are not as popular here as in Italy. The logic was - give the cat a Sardinian name - then maybe Dad, who keeps moaning about how wonderful Sardinia is, will like the cat. The choice of word was just because it was also a cute name for a cat. Note that it does anagram to Fur-fur, which is what I hate vacuuming up!
My new vet laughed when I told her the name. But she agreed that it suits her personality. (I'm not sure how she decided this.)
Her nicknames are mostly words which start with F. My current favourite is Fluffy. Also Fruf-Maguf was a stage I went through. Fru-Fru Della Ama was another one. Fru-Fru-ina (small Fru-Fru, using Italian suffix rules). Fru. Fru-ey. Fraggle. Fragola (raspberry, or is it strawberry, in Italian). It's never-ending!

smith, jones, beaujolais/boo [a real scaredy-cat], blossom, janey, teddy-bear (all cats, only two current); goldy (a fish) -- with one exception, my opinions in these matters carry no weight whatsoever.

Our pets are initially given common names, and inevitably end up with various nicknames. Currently, we have Peter, an orange tabby (ex-)tom cat; Zoe, a tiger cat; and Jeffrey (registered as Commodore Jeffrey), a Newfoundland dog. Peter has a very high voice, and is usually known as Pete-the-squeek, but he intimidates the dog, and is known to Jeffrey as The Great and Powerful Peter. Zoe is often Zo-Zo or Zoe-girl, and Jeffrey is Jeffersonian when he is not No, No, Get Down. Before we put her on expensive specialty food, Zoe had a digestion problem, and as a result her middle names are Eta Canari.

My white Bichon is named Pearl for her colo(u)r and her personality. Can't take credit it was her name when she was rescued.
My gal pal had a Maine Coon Cat, a huge cat, lots of fluffy fur and an attiude, who's name was Feziwig de Flouf. Fez for short.
One of the family's setters was named "Wheaties" because he loved the breakfast corn flakes of that name.

When I was growing up, we had a cat with identity issues... *he* was misidentified as a *she* initially, and so *he* started out as Mitzy. Ugh. It got no better when we discovered he was a *he* and we went for about a week to calling him Fritzy. (By this time, you understand, I had already embroidered *her* name on a satin pillow, and I figured it would be easier to just change the "M" to an "Fr" instead of starting over...) Well, that just didn't fit. Mom found him inordinately energetic and bouncy, so Tigger finally stuck (tigger also happens to be the Norwegian word for beggar, so a fit on both counts). I lost interest in the satin pillow, and he wouldn't have appreciated it anyway. In other ho-hum pet name news, a dog named Sparky came in and out of the household during Tigger's tenure.
I got to exercise some actual creativity when my aunt & uncle's new cat needed a name ~ an orange tabby, I decided he looked like Barkdust. And then there's my friend Margaret's cat, Spudgie. She has the softest fur you've ever felt!
Now I await the liberation from apartment living so I can install some cats (to be named Mugwump, Bernie, and Ert) as household fixtures.

We have a Bernese Mountain dog, a huge floofy fellow named Maximum (Max for short). We named him that when we got him because he was at maximum cuteness level and it was impossible to be any cuter. Pretty standard stuff so far, however
on occasion we revert to calling him poultry, or the only dog with white meat as he is the most chicken dog ever. Oh he barks up a good show when someone comes to the door all deep growls, resonant barks, angry slobbering and bristly hair, but the second the person walks in the door off he goes to hide under the dining room table. And with a backwards glance as he runs away, you just know he is thinking take the girl, take the girl, and the jewelry is in the top left hand drawer in the back under the lacy bras.

Well, my only pet (a chiuauah/rat terrier) is named Milo. I got the name from a movie about a cat and a dog entitled Milo and Otis. Milo was the cat. (I named him when I was 9. )
I've recently been wanting to get an Irish Setter and name it Potato.

trouble syncing music to sgp 4.2
Hey, this is my first time posting as you can see and I need help.
So I have never been a fan of apple, mostly because of the cultish folk that sling the catch phrases at me all the time. But I have always had an ipod, touch or other, but after buying my galaxy s3 I found the need to free myself from all apple products.
I bought myself the galaxy player 4.2 but it just hasnt lived up to expectations. First I tried dragging my music library to a folder and then into the player, after that it wouldn't play over half of the library. I figured it was because of the file type, so I downloaded mediamonkey and converted everything to mp3. Then I synced the player to media monkey in hopes that it would show up in the same order an categorized as on the media player. It doesnt and some of the songs displayed are not the songs that play.
Am I doing something wrong or don't have the right media player? I hope I don't have to go back to an Ipod.
Hope someone can help
start over, copy all your music to the device by dragging and dropping into the MUSIC folder on the player, then get the Poweramp 2 week trial from the market and see if it sees all the music (after giving it time to scan everything). I say this because out of my like 4k files I had 30 or so the stock music app and "media scanner" would not show, and from what I've read up on it, the problem is the stock scanner won't "see" music with "damaged" ID3 tags and MOST of the aftermarket music players get there list from the stock media scanner but Poweramp has its own scanner so try that first to see if that is the issue.

Recommended places to visit in Jordan
The world-famous ancient city of Petra is just one reason to visit Jordan with beautifully preserved Roman ruins, other-worldly deserts starring in Hollywood films and remarkable natural phenomena competing for your attention. Here's a selection of our favourite destinations in Jordan.
Aqaba - Red Sea RelaxationView on map
While there are so many intriguing historical sites to explore and cultural experiences to be had in Jordan, sometimes all one desires is a little R&R. If this is the case then look no further than the laid-back Red Sea city of Aqaba. Fringed with palm-trees and sandy beaches with gorgeous warm waters brimming with colourful coral reefs, a few days of relaxation here certainly won't go amiss.
Dana Nature Reserve - Wildlife and trekkingView on map
The Dana Nature Reserve is the largest nature reserve in all of Jordan and sprawls across over 300 square kilometres. One of the main features of the park is the ancient village of Dana, which dates back to the 15th century and houses but a handful of residents. Despite its seemingly arid landscape, the Dana Nature Reserve is inhabited by hundreds of species of animal and bird and also boasts an impressive number of different plants.
Dead Sea - Bob Like a CorkView on map
Whether you fancy bobbing like a cork or lathering yourself with mineral-rich mud on the shore, a visit to the Dead Sea is an absolute must for any trip to Jordan. The rugged coastline and buoyant blue waters of this popular site have been attracting travellers for centuries that come in search of its beauty and healing properties. Wade in and have a read while lazily floating across the horizon.
Madaba - Mosaics and HistoryView on map
A charming town known for its thriving markets and stunning mosaics which date back to the Byzantine era, Madaba is both an interesting and hospitable stop on any Jordan itinerary. Throughout the city there are a number of boutiques and outlets selling tasteful handmade crafts, particularly tapestries and carpets. For those looking to get more familiar with Madaba's mosaic-related history, the Archaeological Park and Museum is a great place to start.
Petra - The Lost CityView on map
Hidden away in a secluded valley amidst the mountainous Jordanian landscape, it is no wonder why Petra was lost to the world for hundreds of years before its rediscovery in the 1800s. With the winding narrow passageway of the Siq, impressive Treasury facade, a beautiful hilltop monastery and numerous other monuments you'll need at least two days to explore.
Wadi Rum - Wild DesertscapesView on map
Renowned for its sandstone landscape of mountains and valleys, natural arches, towering cliffs, narrow gorges and dramatic ramps and caverns formed over millions of years, the Valley of the Moon is nothing less than spectacular. The best way of experiencing Wadi Rum for yourself is by witnessing the sunset over the vast silent horizon and spending a night under the stars.

See the best of Jordan with us
All our trips start in Jordan's vibrant capital Amman and we also include a visit to the Dead Sea as well as 2 nights in Petra, giving you lots of time to explore this amazing site. There's an amazing walk through the iconic Siq to enter Petra, and you're bound to stop in your tracks when you first catch glimpse of the Treasury - it's quite a special moment! After a full day at Petra, where the Monastery is another undoubted highlight, we also get a chance to see the Treasury at night when it is beautifully illuminated by candle light. A night camping the Wadi Rum desert, floating in the Dead Sea and a visit to Mt Nebo with amazing views over to Israel are other key draw cards.

Great, just ****ing great, why can't we get a break? Ray going down almost the same day Amare returns...
I think Stat will be fine when he returns with kidd and pablo at point. I do however worry about kidd's minutes while ray is down. He did awesome last night against phoenix but I'm not sure he can do that every night anymore. Pablo should have gave him more rest minutes but he was playing so bad and turning over that he just needed to be pulled. I think we almost lost last nights game due to the poor offense running and i like the guy. He has to stop running into the air trying to lop passes in the middle every play and his hesitation to shoot worries me.
What's the status on Sheed?
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]RASHEED WALLACE: After missing the past eight games with a stress reaction in his left foot, Wallace and Mike Woodson hope the veteran forward can return to the court against Portland.
He participated in the morning shootaround Friday in Portland -- without the walking boot he'd been wearing in recent days -- and hopes to practice Sunday.
Wallace and Camby, who has given the Knicks quality minutes in their last three games, have provided depth when they're healthy as Stoudemire works his way back.
and another Senior Citizen goes down.
Camby out with left foot injury
time: TBD
Hey we signed a lot of older players. You have to know this was possible (injuries) and likely. We've been unlucky, no doubt
Alot of tweets saying Camby is limping very badly. Could be out til March.
I had a feeling that Camby was going to suffer an injury as soon as his playing time increased.Everytime I saw him on the court I was holding my breath and crossing my fingers.
The Knicks could use a guy like David Lee on their roster.The man might play softer defense than any Mike D'antoni coached team but he could give the Knicks the rebounding that they lack.I would trade anyone on the Knicks for him minus Melo and Chandler.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Dallas got off to a 24-5 start before Dirk Nowitzki got hurt, and Caron Butler went down for the season with a torn ACL. But the depth held up and the Mavericks finished with a 57-win season [Only registered and activated users can see links. ].
till Knicks wont be playing like they was with HEat [ but when all players will be available] they still can win with any1.
current avaiable roster is very limited for such teams like Bulls OKC Clippers
Melo wont be shooting allways 30+ he need support its too much on him + refs.
Mainly talking about KT and Camby --- I'm done fellas...These guys can't help us....Even before Camby pulled up lame---AGAIN!!---he didn't look good to me at all...He and KT just can't keep up with younger, quicker, stronger frontline players...That's it. Case closed.
Look at last night -- Hibbert for part of the game, West, T. Hansbrough, even Jeff Pendergraph --- Camby and KT can't match up with guys like this...And it's gonna be more of the same tonight AGAIN with Noah and Boozer. Seen it before and we'll continue to see it until Amar'e's close to 100%, Sheed finally makes it back (he's old but unlike KT and Camby, can still impact the game), and/or we bring in some younger/stronger/more athletic bigs to compensate and cover our frontcourt weakness, even if it's just for the interim. Ba fongooll!!! I can't bear to watch this anymore!!!!
Listen, if we could go out and trade for an Anderson Varejao (he's hurt now but you know what I mean, a high-priced NBA impact big), I'd say go for it...WE CAN'T!!! Don't have the trading chips for a guy like that and don't have the cap room to absorb salary...That's why I've been advocating going a different route --- import at least one young big from the D-League or the like (Europe?) on a league minimum deal that can help us compete up front!!! KT and Camby aren't getting it done. Period...Aren't capable of getting it done...Now Camby's hurt again, supposedly limping & walking around in a boot after the game...There's a shock..LOL....These guys are done, man....DO SOMETHING!!! We're throwing away games. First order of business -- open up at least 1 roster spot. Waive bye-bye to KT. HE'S DONE...I'd waive Camby too, thing is we gave this guy too much money where it wouldn't be feasible...And while we're at it -- buy out or waive Brewer and James White and bring in a 2G upgrade as well. I can't stand the sight of these guys anymore -- NO OF THEM CAN HELP US!!!! I can't believe mgmt. hasn't seen this and taken steps...Mark Cuban wouldn't put up with no productivity outta KT, Camby, Brewer, White, etc.., I can tell you that. Why's Gunwald putting up with it???
1 - Cut KT & sign K-Mart. He's supposedly open to a 10-day make good deal. Get it done. WTF are we waiting for?!? Not sure how much he's got left & what kinda shape he's in, but I GUARANTEE he'll give us more than KT & Camby. Was still playing above the rim last year for the Clips in a limited capacity. KT and Camby can barely walk---there's a difference.
2 - If K-Mart continues to play hardball, move on and sign a capable big from the DL like JaJuan Johnson (#1 pick in the DL draft), Arinze Onuaku, DaJuan Summers, Marcus Cousin (where's he been? he go back to Europe?), Chris Johnson (the 6'11" big from LSU with NBA experience), even a Luke Harangody who played great the other day -- Harangody's a little undersized but he hustles, is surprisingly skilled and always manages to have an impact..Harangody had something like 28 & 15 2 days ago down in the DL and is averaging close to 19 & 14....Love to have a guy like that over KT/Camby. Even Jarvis Varnado --- did Miami pull the trigger on him yet? I'd jump in and get involved on this guy. I'd be all over this guy if I were Grunwald!!! Guarantee him 20 mins a night for the forseeable future. Explain to me how Miami, the league champion last year and a team that is ahead of us in the EC, shows interest in a guy like this but we have none?? He goes to Miami, he may not even play...With our gapping holes up front, he'd play here (up to Woody of course)...I'd play him..This guy's shot-blocking and rebounding skills are NBA caliber...I even would've signed PF Kevin Jones over a month ago (Cleveland did)...Any of these cats would be a HUGE upgrade over KT/Camby. I don't see how anyone could even debate this.
3 - Address the 2G situation already, even if it's just on an interim basis...I was screaming for Chris Douglas-Roberts...20 games ago!!!! Would've been perfect...Dallas scooped him up...Still good solutions out there -- LOOK FOR THEM!!! Watching a lot of DL lately -- really like the look of this Chris Johnson outta Dayton. 6'6" lefty 2G who can shoot from deep and put it on the floor...I also like this 6'8" SG/SF Gary Flowers. Guy's a stat-stuffer that impacts every area on the court. Even a guy like Morris Almond's still around...Cut White, Brewer or both and upgrade the spot with one of these guys...Clear as day that any of these 3 would be huge upgrades over Ronnie Brewer. Wake up Grunwald -- Brewer's killing us!!!!!

It was noted that due to many scheduling conflicts, the council has not met officially since July. There was a meeting in September, but because there was not a quorum, it became just an informational meeting.
I. Minutes – A motion to accept the meeting minutes for the July 13, 2006 meeting with changes was made and seconded by Goss/Neel, all were in favor.
II. Old Business
A. Constitution-The council attempted to make changes to the draft constitution from the previous council's term. After some discussion about a few of the issues, we decided to table the issue until the December meeting so that we could get some clarifications on legal issues from Bruce Walker.
III. New Business-There was no new business on the agenda.
IV. Reports
A. Board of Governors- There were no new issues for the report.
B. Personnel Development- Lisa stated that applications are due November 20 and the committee would meet the week following the deadline to approve applications. She stated that there has been no communication about whether the loss of Title III monies will affect the approval process. She also stated that there has still never been any discussion about a budget for the professional development area.
C. ACCE-Fred was unable to attend today's meeting so he sent his report with Carol. She stated that he had received 48 of the ACCE surveys back. He was pleased with the response.
D. Flower Fund-Anita reported to Carol that the balance on the fund was $227.50. Because this balance is getting low, she would send out a copy of
the flyer that was used last time we solicited for funds as an all users and through campus mail.
E. Social Committee-Joan had to leave the meeting before this report. Carol stated that there are no social activities to report on.
F. Wellness Committee- Lisa stated that the committee is sponsoring a BSC version of the Biggest Loser. There are currently 23 people registered for the program. She said that water aerobics meets Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-5 pm but because they are having trouble getting an instructor for the class, it might not be continued next semester. A suggestion was made to see if the college might consider sponsoring a Weight Watchers class. Lisa said she would bring it up to the committee.
V. Next meeting/Adjournment
The next meeting will be held on December 7, 2006 at 11:30 a.m. at Ryan's Steakhouse in Bluefield, VA.
With no further business to discuss, the meeting was adjourned by Carol.

On the altar of gunsMarch 25,2013How many lives must be sacrificed on the altar of the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, an amendment that appears (although clearly not to all) to connect the citizenrys right to bear arms to the existence of a well-regulated militia?
And why has the concept of a well-regulated militia been lost in the national debate raging over gun control? True, the U.S. Supreme Court seems to have overlooked that particular phrasing in the amendment, but that only adds to the mystery (and frustration).
Finally, in the wake of so many horrendous killings by individuals armed to the teeth, some Americans why not all? finally are standing up to demand that something reasonable be done to modify our gun culture.
Beginning today, New York Citys mayor, Michael Bloomberg, launches a $12 million advertising campaign that he hopes will change the minds of certain United States senators so theyll now support some form of gun control. The advertisements will appear in 13 states represented by senators he has judged may finally grasp the critical importance of legislation that, if nothing else, would require universal background checks for all gun buyers.
The ad blitz will blanket those senators districts during the Easter congressional recess that precedes a scheduled debate over gun control legislation.
Bloomberg said he is leaving aside the debate over assault weapons for now because he realizes that the chances for any kind of significant gun control reform might be seriously jeopardized by making the assault weapon issue central to his cause.
You dont want to lose everything in the interest of getting the perfect, Bloomberg told an interviewer, although he expressed his disappointment that a ban on assault weapons seems so unlikely in the present political environment.
The advertising blitz will thrust Bloomberg to the forefront of the national struggle to counter the powerful political influence enjoyed by the National Rifle Association, which is rigid and relentless in its take-no-prisoners approach to preserving the Second Amendment, come what may.
The NRA has just had this field to itself, Bloomberg said as he announced his own campaign. Its the only one thats been speaking out. Its time for another voice. These ads bring the voices of Americans who overwhelmingly support comprehensive and enforceable background checks into the discussion to move senators to immediately take action to prevent gun violence.
Appearing on NBCs Meet the Press Sunday, Wayne LaPierre, the head of the NRA, accused the New York mayor who recently lost his highly publicized bid to ban the sale of certain extra-large containers of soft drinks in his city of trying to buy America with his new campaign, but he predicted the effort will fall short.
He cant spend enough of his $27 billion to try to impose his will on the American public, LaPierre said. They dont want him in their restaurants, they dont want him in their homes, they dont want him telling what food to eat. They sure dont want him telling what self-defense firearms to own. He cant buy America.
But isnt that exactly what LaPierre and his loyalists have been doing and with considerable success all along with their heavy financial support of politicians? Elected officials of both parties have accepted NRA contributions, and it is only reasonable to assume they will vote the way the NRA wants them to vote.
Bloomberg will spend part of his own fortune in a bid to balance the scales. Good for him, good for us. But whatever happened to that well-regulated militia?MORE IN CommentarySure, you can buy your uncle a necktie that he wont wear, or your niece an Amazon certificate...

Cramer Quick Take: Buy The Banks? Not So Fast
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Should investors be piling into the bank stocks now that shares are off to the races and the analysts are finally upgrading some names?Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet.com that investors need to take a pause first and think before they pull the trigger.
Cramer said he's definitely a big fan of the banks, and even owns Wells Fargo (WFC) for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, but that doesn't mean he's willing to jump in and buy at the end of a big two-day rally.
Cramer said his trading discipline over his many years has shown him the tail end of a big rally is the time to trim positions, not add to them. He said he likes Bank of America (BAC) , but that doesn't mean the stock can't drop a quick $1 over the next day or two as at least some investors lock in their big gains.
Cramer's advice: Look for value and wait for a better entry point. This may sometimes cost you, he noted, but sometimes it's better to say "I missed it" than to pay too much buying into a rally that's already happened.

So, how dead is this game??
Posted 08 October 2010 - 09:21 AM
Release dates?
After this amount of time most games are doomed to fail or never hit the market.
So whats the story.
Hey, don't get me wrong. I love all things WWW2. I play Secrets of the Third Reich, Dust(soon) and AE-WWII.
And I love the Warlord rules.
I just found this forum. Seems like a good community. Hope to spend some time here.
Posted 08 October 2010 - 10:39 AM
I hope never to be a giraffe named Marius in Denmark.

I just found this forum. Seems like a good community. Hope to spend some time here.
It's dead....like a kroid.
The game rules are good. Very cool....but the delays and the "in-crowd" just kill it. Last time I saw it, I thought it was ready to go, it was better than A LOT of other stuff out there and that was for the rules in progress, but, for whatever reason only the insiders know....it's still a dead game.
I hope Ed gets it up and running some day since his ideas and concepts are awesome...some of the more creative stuff I've seen in awhile. It's a fresh shot in the arm of the typical supernatural/spooky/occult WWII games. If he had pushed it back when he came out with it, I think he'd be rulling the market nowdays....sadly SotR and AEWWII fill that role. He snoozed and he lost it.
Posted 08 October 2010 - 11:27 AM
How much would Reaper have invested in this versus how much would they return? If the niche market for this is so small, what would be the point in owning it?
I'd rather not see Reaper gamble on another game right now. Warlord is expanding, and CAV is back to the drawing board. I don't want their reach to exceed their grasp, so they can take their time on this one.
Posted 08 October 2010 - 11:36 AM
Posted 08 October 2010 - 12:03 PM
Perhaps they give the rules up for free, like Rackham, and just focus on selling the figures
That sounds like a reasonable suggestion. The CAV game is in open beta right now, so maybe it's a sign of things to come.
Posted 08 October 2010 - 01:15 PM
There definitely seems to have been a shift in Reaper's attitudes towards their games, which while frustrating for some of us, has been a good call on their part - they're being more tightlipped about what's going on and not announcing things prematurely anymore - FREX, the announcement of Warlord 2 caught a lot of us off guard, but once it was announced, suddenly made their prior silence and non-commital attitudes make sense. I get the feeling they've adopted the same attitude towards anything else they have in development as well. This, IMO, is a good plan on their part, save for the left over frustrations about things they announced before they adopted the new policies. But quite frankly, they can't do anything about that - what's done, is done.

No sense in reinventing the RAGE wheel. Between archers and soul cannons it shouldn't be that hard to wrap up stats for these guys.
Then do the same with the super heroes/villians game and let all three easily flow/overlap cause yes, I DO want my
super heroes to have stats that are compatible/balancable for squaring off against zombie hoardes or my GI Reapers
to fight super villians.
Posted 08 October 2010 - 01:31 PM
If Reaper puts out a dozen models a month, that looks to be a whole year of effort to do what SoTR did. That is an insane commitment for a company of Reaper's size. Considering they have Warlord to produce and promote, and CAV to reboot, as well as staying on top of the fantasy ranges that are their bread and butter, I don't see how they could have snoozed and lost on this.
It would have been too risky.
People seem to forget that Reaper employees have to eat and pay bills like the rest of us.
Posted 10 October 2010 - 08:58 PM
It's dead....like a kroid.
Like all things at Reaper it is in the queue and advancing along. When it happens, it happens... You guys will be the first to know.
I am not familiar with the other two games mentioned. If they really rule the niche as stated then they deserve the title and we will roll a doughnut. Wouldn't be the first doughnut I have rolled and definitely won't be the last one I roll.
Best wishes,
Ed Pugh

I have a full time job that has nothing to do with making minis and games. Yet, I still manage to work out tons of game rules and even make some of my own minis (but mostly terrains) in the tiniest fraction of spare time I have.
Granted, I've yet to complete any rule sets to my satisfaction for turning out to the public. But I've made it to the testing stage a few times. And I still get models done and occasionally sell one or two at the cons I go to.
If I actually had a full time job that had everything to do with making minis and games, I'd be hard to stop. And I'm just one guy. Reaper has a bunch of guys.
Speaking as a creative person, what is happening with RoTD looks to me more like what happens when we lose enthusiasm for an idea or concept, but are just not ready to let it go yet. There's no shame in that. It happens to the best of us. Sometimes we just can't follow through on an idea because we lose the juice for it.
Yes, I will be flamed. But that's just how I feel.

Speech EnthusiasmAriella Foss | April 24, 2009
A personal bit concerning the beginnings of my interest in speech and rhetoric.
Perhaps the seed for this reading group was planted several years ago in my Baltimore home. I was sitting on the white couch in my living room, when my father turned on our record player and pushed play. Martin Luther King began to speak through our stereo. He was not saying "I have a Dream" or "I've Been to the Mountaintop," but "If I had sneezed." "If I had sneezed," repeated King, "If I had sneezed . . ."
In February of 2008 a friend and I wanted to hold a student event in honor of Dr. King's birthday. In my mind, I wondered if I could recreate the atmosphere of my living room, where it felt as though King were just a few feet away from me. We went to the library and watched films that showed King delivering speeches in a variety of settings. We saw his "How Long, Not Long" speech in which he engaged in a call-response rhythm with his audience. We saw him at the March on Washington. We saw him at the pulpit in church and we saw him walking in peaceful protest.
The evening of our event, we showed some of these clips and then ended with the "If I had sneezed" speech which I had heard as a child. In this section of the speech, which culminates in the eerily prophetic moment of "I've been to the Mountaintop," King tells a story. King was in New York City, autographing his first book, when a woman came up to him and asked, "Are you Martin Luther King?" He said yes. Before he knew it, this woman had stabbed him in the chest. The next day, as King tells us, the New York Times had written "that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died." He describes a letter that a girl wrote to him after this incident.
I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering. And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.
King then continues, "And I want to say tonight — I want to say tonight that I too am happy that I didn't sneeze."
After a semester abroad in which I brainstormed with peers, professors and advisers, I decided to begin a reading group in the fall semester to further explore speech and rhetoric. I submitted a proposal to the Hurford Humanities Center, and the steering committee accepted my application, providing me with the funding, support and resources to make the group happen.
So perhaps the sneeze initiated an interest which developed and finally culminated into a tangible project. Beginning in November, six other students and I began to meet throughout the semester, looking at a variety of speakers and supplementing their words with a diverse set of texts. The speech group has continued into this spring semester, with six new students participating. We have looked at a wide range of speeches, and broadened our exploration of oration to films as well. From Roosevelt to Obama, from Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird" to Spencer Tracy's portrayal of Clarence Darrow in "Inherit the Wind" the opportunities for examining speech and rhetoric, in all its forms, are truly endless.
I am extremely appreciative of the support and funding I have received from the Humanities Center. A special thanks to James Weissinger for encouraging me to go through with this project, and providing me with his creative and insightful ideas. And of course, many thanks to the reading group participants who have dedicated their time and energy to this activity.
* Excerpts come from King's "I've been to the Mountaintop" speech, delivered April 3, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Brayden is doing great with trying to breastfeed, but we have some issues. The feeding tube is out, but yet when i nurse milk is drooling out of the corners of the mouth. He doesn't have/keep a tight seal. The nurse says it's not nipple confusion but that he is a preemie and just needs to learn. He is constantly falling asleep at the breast...another preemie issue.
He also sucks...sucks...sucks..forgets to swallow and then just breathes and bm comes out of his nose and he gags. I am constantly having to suction him.
Is this just something that will resolve with time?


text: I have been breastfeeding my son for almost three months now and still have very sore nipples. He tends to "chomp" lots of short choppy motions instead of long efficient sucking strokes. I have been to a lactation consultant two times ( one time spending three hours there) and she states I am doing the best that I can and commended me for giving such an effort. She ruled out Thrush. I do have some vasopspasm and it is very evident when baby unlatches that baby is clamping down on my nipple - sometimes worse than other times. I am still uncomfortable to some degree during nursing even after three months time and son takes a long time to get his fill. My situation is that he has a tongue tie and receeded lower jaw. I'm just wondering if anyone has undergone the tongue tie release or frenectomy surgery for their child and if so did it change their nursing success for the better...more comfort and more efficient nurser? It's the last resort for me. I have started to give some formula but will try to pump as long as possible - pumping is hard to find time for when you have a needy baby who wants your time. I figured I would pump during his morning nap and after he goes to bed. At least he'll get a few onces of EBM each day along with formula. I'm heartbroken because I feel like I'm slighting him of better health and higher IQ. I will mention he is also taking medication for GERD. I just wonder if I put him through the tongue tie release procedure if his receeded jaw is still going to make for a difficult nursing relationship. Any Advice? Encouragement? Thanks ladies!

Assisted death bill hits bumps in roadThe Associated Press | February 13,2013MONTPELIER — A bill to allow doctors to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients could be heading for trouble as the Vermont Senate prepares to debate it.
The Senate on Tuesday rejected a Judiciary Committee recommendation that the bill be defeated. But now as the bill comes up for preliminary passage Wednesday, there may be more efforts to introduce big changes or delay action.
Sens. Peter Galbraith and Robert Hartwell — two key votes who've been undecided on the measure — have introduced an amendment that would replace the entire "end-of-life" choices bill with a measure granting immunity to physicians and caregivers when a terminally ill patient uses prescribed medication to end her or his life.
There also may be a motion Wednesday to delay action for more study.MORE IN This Just InMANAMA, Bahrain Drawing the U.S. Full StoryDANVILLE Police said a Concord man was jailed for violating an abuse prevention order.

"Oh last day. I wanted to give Doris a big hug because I've been coming to the truck and here, how long? A long time. Years," said Scrappy Lipton, a longtime Tsukenjo customer. "Roast pork without a doubt and the potato salad -- fabulous!"
It was a time for old friends to say goodbye. For Doris Nabarro, the lines are much appreciated, but way too late.
"I haven't seen these lines in years. Business has been so bad. Then I said, maybe it's time I cut my losses and close out already," said Nabarro. "There's so much competition in this area and, I think, on this island alone. There's about 1,000 wagons, lunch wagons."
Nabarro's family has operated Tsukenjo on this very spot on Cooke and Queen Streets since 1959.
But, the parking has gotten worse and many of their best customers have moved out of the area. A far cry from the past.
"We had three wagons, plus this," said Nabarro. "Yeah, that was the good old days."
Doris' mom and dad Mitsuko and Tetsu Tsukenjo opened the Lunch House when Doris was just a kid. Older sister Sako was there from the beginning.
"When we first started we didn't know how it would go and so my mom had her job to go to. She cooked everything for my dad. They went to their jobs," said Sako Matsumoto. "I took over when it started to pick up business. They quit work and we all worked here."
But, it would be Doris who would end up mastering mom's recipes. She's been at the helm for the past 20 years or so.
Both agree on the one thing they'll miss the most.
"All those we were in business, we had good customers. Loyal customers, you know, so thankful they made everything what we were, what we became," said Matsumoto.
Customers like Lynndyn Chung, who has been coming to Tsukenjo for at least 30 years. He says they treat customers like family, right down to bossing them around!
"I ask for bacon egg sandwich. I said I gotta go to work. She said, well, you know what to do. The eggs done so make your own sandwich!" said Chung. "So, I made my own sandwich. You can't beat it. It's so loving over here!"
So, with the final roast pork with gravy served, and that final lau lau plate, regulars have to find someplace new to fill their opu, or stomachs.

It hurts because it's a game we could/should have won. That's not such a bad thing when you factor in how awful this team has been in years past.
Heartbreaking loss, but so encouraging
this loss transported me back to the 90's and it made me feel that same pain i felt when we would lost to chicago courtesy of a mj pass to wennington......but this pain feels good because it's the first time in a long time that the knicks or sports for that matter made me feel..........i hope we go out and destroy the heat on friday.....oh yeah and **** paul pierce
It hurts because it's a game we could/should have won. That's not such a bad thing when you factor in how awful this team has been in years past.
Heartbreaking loss, but so encouraging
Good post, I agree to disagree. I don't think we have to sacrifice offense in order to play better D, we need better substitutions when team is lacking D. Not giving Turiaf or Moscov a shot at stopping the rape in the paint by Garknee was frustrating. I agree with all you said about being an incomplete team, but I feel we have an incomplete coach who is running the team ragged with short rotation, and not teaching essence of D (guarding perimeter and paint). Perhaps we are a player or two away from being the best we can be, but that onus is on Wheelchair Walsh to get us the players we need to make the team complete, and help 'Antoni compete, completely.
WHAT A GAME!!! that was seriously the best game of the season so far and it should of been a WIN (check the thread called the (crazy) night that was)
D'ant doesn't think this is an elite team yet, but i think he's wrong. This team can compete with anyone in the league. Boston only escaped by the skin of their teeth on this one. I want to see more games against quality opponents and with miami and chiago coming up i'm expecting the knicks to bring their A game and find out where we really stand up aginst the best teams in the east.
Then we have a west coast swing against some very difficult teams. so this is getting into the hard part of the schedule and i'm hoping that the performance against the celtics carries us through the next little while and the players stay pumped.
This was a great game...we should of had the W though. Basically the only thing that separates us from these great teams is the intelligence and experience to finish teams off.
Also, i noticed that we were playing at their tempo most of the game. Thats something we can't do in future games.
This game supports my argument to just wait for Melo next year if we have to. I don't want to give a Gallo or Chandler, or even Fields at this point.
Denver has no cards, I say call their bluff. Give them maybe Curry's contract and a low bench guy or two, or let them squirm.
It hurt wakin up to that loss, but feels good knowing we are relevant. Ray put it best-
"Everybody has their own opinion. Real basketball players and people who understand the game know we have a good team and we can play with anybody. We lost a tough one against possibly the best team in the league"
damn i didnt realize we got screwed outta this one until now. That picture shows it was clearly .8 seconds left on the clock. I hope the scumtics respect us more now but they are the least humble team in the NBA. I hope Bynum stays healthy this year so the Lakers can eliminate bumson in 5 or 6 games instead, and then next year they will be too old to make it past the 1st round
Hopefully after seeing felton Bumston fans realize how overrated rondo is now
If you think Chandler and Fields are playing well, imagine what Melo would do.... Imagine..
smokes already has a double platinum thread...about 50 more responses until this thread is triple plat
The one thing i think Carmello coulda helped with is guarding Pierce. Hes a great defender when he wants to be. Hes taller and stronger then Pierce, hes like Pierce but better. But the one thing Pierce does do better is shoot 3's
yup, just like I thought. The Celts showed why they are the best in the East (atm). They didn't have Perkins, Delonte, or either O'Neil in the game, plus Rondo was injured... and they still came back and stole it from us in the end...at our home. Pierce has always been clutch, I never like the Celts but I always liked and respected Pierce.
This was an entertaining game to say the least, but we beat ourselves. Our defense is still suspect, we still give too many easy baskets due to parimeter double teaming. If we can just ease the opponents scoring, there will be less nail biters and our players would be able to reserve some energy for the long haul...its still a long season to go. The Celts were undermanned and used their experience to beat us. With that said, I really enjoyed our intensity, it was hurting the Celts and I remember seeing the shock and pain on Peirce's face toward the end of the game. The Knicks are looking way better then I expected...even Gallo stepped up after a weak first half ( a pleasant surprise). This is the type of B-Balling this city missed. I almost forgot just how good it feels to see the Knicks compete in big games...win or lose. I just hope they keep this up because the upcoming schedule is brutal...
This game will always be a victory in my book. We got robbed.
Oh if the Knicks can come out a Friday with a win and crush Wade and Pippen (Lebuhon) that'd make us feel better about yesterday's loss.

Another fascinating game is the Fiji game at Rochdale. Who knew there was a decent sized Fijian disapora in Rochdale dating back to the Joe Levula era of Fijian players at the Hornets. Not me certainly but that is an opportunity to market the heck out of that fixture in and around Rochdale and the fact that Fiji were semi finalists in 2008 is another crowd puller. I think that game could sell out.

He's a cretin who has trashed RL in the past and sees RL as a sub-sport. Let him stick to whatever it is he writes about, there are other writers to do it. He won't even acknowledge the RLWC anyway.
Like him or not (and I happen to be a big fan of his writing) he's exactly the sort of person we want to have writing about the event. One of the most widely read (and most wide) journalists out there - if he writes some positive stuff about RLWC 2013 it can only help.

I think we are pretty much in the same place on this tournament to be honest. I'm an absolute optimist and think it will be a brilliant tournament, but I'm not into taking a Field of Dreams approach - people won't just turn up without an awful lot of hard work, we need to remember that.
I may be a cock eyed optomist but I think this tournament has the makings of a resounding success for out game and I refsue to be negative about it.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:08 PM
In terms of attendances I would say anything over 90% of capacity for the whole tournament would be a success. Sell outs for the semis and final should be a given along with the England games.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:15 PM
I was talking about the important ones
England's ones. BBC show Scotland, Ireland and Wales.
Posted 18 November 2012 - 10:23 PM
Agree with your first line. For people to have the attitude that big crowds are a given is very dangerous IMHO. They won't just happen.
Not sure about the sell-outs. The record for an international in this country is 73,631, which was for the 1992 World Cup final at Wembley. Not sure we should just assume we'll beat that on three occasions for 2013 world cup.
I think I read somewhere that the RLWC2013 team were aiming for a 70% fill of stadia. 90% would be great, but the 70% and 500,000 speccies they are aiming for seems more sensible.
Posted 19 November 2012 - 12:24 AM
I don't think that is a priority at all. RLWC 2013 should be about attracting a new audience to watch international rugby league. We can't build international league up to a good level on the back of existing season ticket holders. We need to expand the audience, not keep going to the same people more often. One of the things Richard Lewis identified early on was the huge potential to grow the international game - think how many people go and watch an international union match, but have never been to a club game, or those who went to the Olympics to watch a sport they had never seen live before and are unlikely to ever see again.
Once we turn the international game into an event, then existing rugby league fans (who already enjoy the game) will jump on the bandwagon and make it even bigger. We need to be able to get to the situation where we know we can half-fill big stadia for our big events with people who want to watch big league "events", the other half we can sell to existing league fans, not only selling out the stadia, but also creating a demand for the tickets, so we get sell-outs for our big events some time before the day of the match.

Talking of RLWC success.....
Should England be gloriously successful and beat Australia at Old Trafford, has anyone thought about the route for the obligatory open top bus victory tour?
Will it start at the western end of the M62, take a detour up the M6 and then pull into Hull a couple of days later? Or will it start at Red Hall, go to Hull and then westwards back towards the scene of the glorious victory?
Posted 19 November 2012 - 02:05 PM
Getting a bit ahead of yourself there but if such a thing did happen the bus should definitely park outside Stephen Jones' house at 2.00am blowing it's horn loudly.

Have you seen any figures about how big the diaspora is?
I lived and worked in the Rochdale area for over thirty years, and the only time I saw a Fijian face was at Hornets v Leigh when they both were riding high in the old second division. If there is a sizeable Fijian community then it keeps itself fairly well hidden.
That said, the Fijian-Hornets link does provide a decent 'hook' on which to market the game. The only obstacle to a sell-out is that there isn't a great recent history of Rochdale people attending sporting events in the town in any great numbers.

In terms of the higher crowds at WC finals being games that involved England, well that was sort of my point. This game should be in massive demand no matter who gets there, yet this isn't guaranteed.

You are of course entirely correct, the BBC will have Wales, Scotland and Ireland's autumn internationals and will doubtless be presenting them in a high profile manner.

I cannot find any information on numbers but
the Liverpool Daily post on an article re the WC bid 3.12.10 talks about the sizeable Fijian and irish community in and around Rochdale.

I predict a good atmosphere at that game, and sociable times before and after.

Why is that key?
The key for me is of the 50000+ tickets sold so far how many persons have bought 3/5 tickets each.
Posted 20 November 2012 - 02:52 PM
The key for me is of the 50000+ tickets sold so far how many persons have bought 3/5 tickets each.
My guess is that around 12/15000 persons have actually bought tickets so far.
If the RFL are relying on SL season ticket holders to buy the bulk of the RLWC 2013 tickets then IMHO they are barking up the wrong tree:) One only has to look at the crowds to the play-offs to see that a large number of SL season ticket holders who have been brought into the game on the back of cheap season tickets wont fork out anymore extra cash over and above the season ticket and maybe a visit (for the lucky few clubs) to a final.
It is going to take one hell of a marketing push to be able to shift 500000 tickets good luck:)

A tsunami victim looks through albums for her photographs on Monday.
OFUNATO, Japan -- In a large, bright room not far from the ocean that raged through this coastal Japanese city nearly a year ago, a handful of people with magnifying glasses pore over boxes of photographs of friends or loved ones.
The massive March 11 tsunami that leveled buildings and flattened towns along a wide swathe of northern Japan, including Ofunato, also took a more subtle toll, with hundreds of thousands of photographs lost to the churning waters.
But now these memories are slowly making their way back to their owners, thanks to the painstaking efforts of a team that cleans them of mud, dirt and oil.
"I got one photo blown up, and I was so thankful for that. I put it in a frame, and it brought tears to my eyes," said 77-year-old resident Yoshiko Jindai, looking through boxes of photographs.
Toru Hanai / Reuters
Recovered photographs are hung to dry after cleaning.
Ofunato has enlisted a team of seven part-time staffers to help sort though the over 350,000 photos that have accumulated after being brought in by police, firefighters, rescue workers and average citizens who were looking through the rubble.
In charge of cleaning and restoring the photos is paper conservator Satoko Kinno, who said her job is the second stage in the marathon of returning the photos to their owners after they are found.
In the immediate aftermath of a monstrous earthquake that triggered a tsunami, fires, and nuclear power plant warnings, Dateline NBC reports on the current state of Japan and its people.
Zen priest battles 'invisible demons' of radiation
"I try to remember that people found these photos in the midst of rubble, and that I have to take the baton from them. So that's where I get my motivation," Kinno said.
The photos are frozen once found to prevent bacteria and mold from growing on them until they can be properly cleaned and packed for display.
The facility holds the photos in its industrial-sized freezer bins until they can be dealt with. Once cleaned, they are packed into photo albums and taken around to temporary housing complexes in the hopes of finding their owners.
Other people choose to sort through boxes of photos themselves for hours on end, looking for snapshots of their lives thought lost to the forces of nature.
Seven months after the earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, debris from the disaster was tracked slowly moving across the Pacific Ocean toward the U.S. NBC News' Kate Snow reports.
Some laugh and chat as they search, as if at a casual social occasion. Others grab the books and flip through quickly, almost desperately.
But even those who don't find anything are grateful for the chance to sort through albums filled with thousands of photos of children, graduations and even scenery of areas struck by the tsunami, now devastated. "I have some photos and videos at my home, but it's still very nice of them to do this," said 79-year-old Kimiko Tanaka.
If somebody finds photos that might belong to another person, a member of Kinno's team will make the rounds of temporary housing to take the memories back to them.

Report: Japan withheld scary nuclear scenario
Thousands have made their way back to grateful owners, but many thousands more remain unclaimed -- or still frozen.
Kinno vows to continue until the last photo goes home.
"I've really started to realize the depth and meaning that each and every photo has to it, and as such I want to do what I can to return as many photos as I can," she added.

Wisconsin consumers are getting less likely to be charged the wrong price for merchandise at supermarkets and other retail stores.
In the past five years, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported the percentage of items that scanned incorrectly at the register has shrunk 42 percent -- from 4.8 percent to 2.8 percent. That's according to figures the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection released to the newspaper.
State officials attribute the improvement to enforcement against stores that overcharge and better education of store employees. An industry expert also credits savvy shoppers.
A Wisconsin store must charge customers the lowest price it has advertised in stores or in its ads. A store that leaves a sale price posted after the sale ends still must honor that price.

The 'devil's work' in the XL-Pipeline
[I'm writing] concerning the silence coming from our nation's executive branch concerning the apparent construction of one of the worse environmental disasters in the making—the Keystone XL pipeline. Its continued construction will only create additional pollution in the hydrological and geographic zones of its transgression. Scenic landscapes and natural resources such as rivers, streams and aquifers, all stand to be contaminated by this worst form of oil. Native Americans in Canada are already suffering health effects. This [would be a] "giant step backwards" [led] by corporations whose only interest is the continued exploitation of oil resources, despite known consequences to human and planetary health and safety.
This XL pipeline can only be described as the "devil's work." Not only will this destroy our American landscapes, it also will allow continued energy waste consumption. After being refined, much of this dirty tar oil will be for export overseas, for short-term corporate profits, [which will go to] the same uncaring detached conglomerates that no longer pay their fair share for the common good of the nation.
If President Obama does not stop this great wrong from occurring, if the common good is forever subordinated to the corporate realm of economy (however which way they chose to operate), then we are truly a rogue nation, an "evil empire."
Money is worse than any drug.
Please, stop the XL pipeline for the future and for the safety and health of all life.

UPDATE: NVIDIA Corp. has corrected statement in regards the number of vertex processors in the GeForce 6600 and GeForce 6600 GT GPUs.
Internet site that revealed some preliminary details about ATI's code-named RV410 visual processing units days ago now reports that the Markham, Ontario-based graphics chip designer will formally launch its future-generation mainstream product on
A report over HKEPC.com suggests that ATI's graphics processor internally named RV410 will be called RADEON X700. The new mainstream chip from ATI will have 8 pixel pipelines, 6 vertex pipelines and native support for PCI Express x16 bus. The technology will inherit feature-set of the RADEON X800-series products and will sport such technologies as Shader Model 2.0b, 3Dc and other.
Markham, Ontario-based ATI usually offers two or three product versions based on its mainstream graphics chips. Currently higher performance iteration of the RADEON X700 product is rumoured to sport 500MHz and 1000MHz core and memory speeds respectively.
Earlier this year it was reported that ATI RV410 visual processing unit would be made at TSMC using 0.11 micron fabrication process. Thin manufacturing process enables lower cost and potentially higher clock-speeds of complex chips, such as graphics processors.
To be unveiled in mid-September, ATI's RADEON X700-series will compete NVIDIA's mainstream GeForce 6600 family of graphics processing units formally announced in mid-August and proclaimed "the Doom III GPU". NVIDIA's GeForce 6600-series is also manufactured using TSMC's 0.11 micron process technology, feature native PCI Express support, pack in 8 pixel and 3 vertex pipelines as well as inherit feature-set of the GeForce 6800 family of chips.
Graphics cards based on the GeForce 6600 GT and GeForce 6600 will be available in September 2004. Recommended retail price for the GT flavour is $199 for the
