2008 GTA Chinatown Wars details
GTA: Chinatown Wars - General News | @ 03:12 AM MDT | By Neil
The latest issue of Nintendo Power is arriving with subscribers at the moment and inside is a world exclusive preview of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars for Nintendo DS.
The magazine reveals that the game will have a cel-shaded look and action will be viewed from an isometric perspective. This results in a similar viewpoint to that included in the GBA port of Max Payne, which also developed by Rockstar Leeds.
The game's story is a tale of revenge and retrieval. A triad boss becomes the victim of a brutal murder and a precious family heirloom - a sword named the Yu Jian - is stolen. His son (and our protagonist), Huang Lee, must discover who did these terrible things to his father. He's not alone though - he'll be working alongside Wade Heston, a Liberty City police officer.
A "good portion" of Liberty City is included in the game, and fans will be pleased to hear it's based on the more recent and more detailed rendition of the city from GTA IV. Rockstar are keen for everyone to know it's a true GTA game, with the series' trademark sandbox gameplay and wide variety of weapons, pedestrians and cars.
Interestingly, the magazine reveals that the game will feature full integration with the Rockstar Games Social Club. The game's interface is based on a PDA with large icons which are easy to select using the console's touch screen.
One area where the game differs from its bigger brothers is in that there are a number of minigames included. These are said to be "tasteful" and make full use of the console's unique input features. The game also gives "subtle" steering assistance to the player, despite the console having a full D-Pad.
The game changes the rules a little where the police are concerned too. Your wanted level is no longer lost by simply evading arrest but instead it will reduce when you destroy your pursuers' cars.
The first screenshots are sure to be on their way very soon. Check back later for those.

Thread: RCP Electoral Map Thread
what I said about Pennsylvania a couple of posts ago? now I'm starting to believe.
and Bill Clinton is going to be there on Monday for FOUR stops. you don't send arguably your biggest surrogate to a state you think you got locked up for four rallies the day before the election.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
I have some new Ohio information to from a source watching the hard count of early voting:
"OHIO: GOP has increased their early turnout by more than 100k from 2008. Dems down 150k. That is 250k net (Obama won in 2008 by 260k)."
That's not a poll, that is the count from the state on party turnout. How many of those Democrats also voted Romney, and how many Republicans voted Obama aren't going to be here.
Remember something else, most all polling in '04 had John Kerry winning the state. And even on election day the exit polls were saying Kerry was going to win it. Bush won by 3%. This is why I have no confidence in the poll numbers right now.

Thought you had "no confidence" in poll numbers, Sting?
However, sending Bill Clinton to Pennsylvania all day? That means more than any poll out there. THAT tells me someone in the Obama camp sees Romney in a position they don't want him to be in.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
I am starting to feel a little better, though I am still not confident. The Michigan poll was a bit of a surprise. A nice surprise. Like Pennsylvania, it may not come through, but I think it indicates late momentum.
But about the 2004 Ohio polls, they actually did show Bush winning for the last week, by the margin he actually won (2.1%). That said, the only pollsters who polled that last week were some of the pros, not the news networks (who always seem a bit pro-Democrat). Note the CNN final poll. We are getting more CNN-like polls now, I am sure.
Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Romney spoke to 17,000 in Colorado yesterday as he keeps getting the crowds from OHio to Col.
Bite Me Biden spoke before just less than 1,000 at a Colorado school and then slightly over 1,000 at another school yesterday in that critical state.
The crowd numbers coincide with the early return numbers we're hearing.
Meanhile, the Trib poll has them now tied in PA and just about all the polls on Drudge Report including Rasmussen has them tied but Mitt is getting the crowds and early voting returns.
In reference to Dick Morris prediction of a land slide for Mitt, Ras said anyone who said he knows who is winning is lying. Well, Dick is just guessing like everone else.
The crowd numbers and early returns are bearing him out at the moment.

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Someone should get rid of this jerk off. This is the most disgraceful
thing said in the campaign. Rush would be crucified by every paper
and TV station in the country for saying something like this.
This is what they've given us - fear via the race card. They played it
in 08 and this year. McCain was scared to death to link OBY with
Jeremiah Wrong for fear of being called a racist.
I remember during the 60s when they burned the cities down from
Watts to Bmore. North Ave and Penn Ave were burned to the ground.
Afterwards in school I asked the blacks how could you burn down your
own neighborhoods? I was just trying to understand them.
They said we're coming out to your neighborhood the next time.
I said come on out.
I always got along with them, even broke up a fight with 2 white
guys beating on a black. I was one of the biggest guys in the school and
wrestled in the unlimited weight class at 175 lbs (no body fat) in the 10th grade.
I beat a senior by just falling on him and got promoted to the varsity.
If OBY wins, I cant wait for the next campaign. At least there won't
be this:

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
IN every state listed as a "swing state" it's now even or within the margin of error. IF obama won it by 16, 13, or 10 it's now even. Now if he won it by 3, 2 4, or 6 it's still a toss up.
That just doesn't make sense, how does someone lose 14 or 15 points in two or three states but only 2 or none (ohio) in others.
The only thing I can think of is, close elections mean big business and no one really knows what's going on sense most polls are done by landlines and no one has a landline and those who do don't answer their phones.
This election could be a toss up or a landslide in either direction....We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid. - Benjamin Franklin

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
This is why it will be tough for Romney to win such a close race with such early voting rules that are in place:

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
Based on all the recent swing state polls (in particular Ohio), this election appears to be Obama's to lose at this point. When even Gallup and Rasmussen start changing their national/swingstate polls from outside margin of error Romney leads to ties, you know the momentum has clearly shifted Obama's way. The only thing romney supporters can hope for is that the reduced early voting days/hours that has taken place in Ohio and Florida leads to less democrats voting and way more republicans voting on election day to tip it Romney's way...for folks that are into complex number crunching, Sam Wang from the Princeton Election Consortium, who accurately got 2008 and 2010 results down has Obama at 98%. Nate Silver, also accurate in 2008 and 2010 has Obama at over 85%. Their sites go into great detail how they arrive at those numbers so go there, read up, and then hit them up if you got questions/concerns. Sam has mentioned that he will eat bugs and show the footage if he's wrong so take that for what it's worth haha

Re: RCP Electoral Map Thread
The fact is, with early voting expansion, cell phones, Caller ID, an extra partisan electorate, and more polling being done by more pollsters with more methodologies, it is not a given that these polls can be relied on to the extent they are being relied on.
That said, the extra poll numbers combined with averaging them should even out the anomalous, bad apples, but it wouldn't catch a systematic failure/asumption that exists throughout the majority of the polls. Obviously, whether there is a systematic failure is clearly up for debate, and the burden of proof is on those claiming there is, and as of yet I have not heard great evidence, though I have heard some compelling speculation. We won't know until Tuesday.


text:
Since emptiness, from between positive and negative phenomena, is a negative phenomenon and, from between affirming negatives and non-affirming negatives, is a non-affirming negative, when it appears to the mind, nothing will appear except an absence of such inherent existence—a mere elimination of the object of negation. Thus, for the mind of a person realizing emptiness there is no sense of, "I am ascertaining emptiness," and there is no thought, "This is emptiness." If you had such a sense, emptiness would become distant. Nevertheless, the emptiness of inherent existence is ascertained and realized.
After such realization, even though whatever phenomena appear appear to exist in their own right, you understand that they do not exist that way. You have a sense that they are like a magician's illusions in that there is a combination of their appearing one way but actually existing another way. Though they appear to exist inherently, you understand that they are empty of inherent existence.
When phenomena are seen this way, the conceptions that superimpose a sense of goodness or badness on phenomena beyond what is actually there and serve as a basis for generating desire and hatred lessen; this is because they are based on the misconception that phenomena are established in their own right.

Town Square
Be a careful consumer when it comes to college
Original post made by Tim Hunt, Castlewood, on Dec 4, 2012
Did you catch during last weekend's selection of football games that Dr. Pepper was running a toss the football competition with a $100,000 in tuition award to the winners? Very generous and, in historical terms, an amazing amount of money for tuition.
Two items:
1. $100K—that's merely the down payment at most of the absurdly priced universities in the United States. For instance, the average price to attend at your average private university is now well north of $200K.
2. Yes, college educations have been the traditional way to middle class or better for graduates particularly those raised in modest circumstances or worse. College debt, which cannot be discharged by going bankrupt, now is in excess of credit card debt in this country. That's frightening.
Has someone been sold a bill of goods? Yes, and yes and yes.
Certainly, a college degree can be a pathway to economic success—if it's in a field that is employable such as computer science, engineering, health sciences. History, women's studies, African studies, philosophy, psychology, sociology (my degree from 40 years ago)—good luck.
What you study at the university/college level correlates directly with what you will earn during your post-graduate career. If you are in a technical field or most professions (be careful about medicine, the economics are much better for dentists or vets), then borrowing significantly may pay off. Although, you may want to chat with newly graduated lawyers over the past few years for how they feel about their education vs. debt equation.
The scam of the higher education system is that you need an advanced degree—yes, it's true for educrats and bureaucrats—but meaningless in the private sector after five years.
For those thinking they have to attend a top-tier university as a freshman, please check your math. Where you finish matters for a few years—it is irrelevant after that. Consider the cost—several times.
Remember, other than you and your parents and maybe grandparents—nobody is looking out for you but you. The universities are in it for your tuition and your gifts once you graduate—remember that.
Consider carefully the costs of the higher education and the opportunities that come with it in the field you are studying. I know a few guys who plumb for a living—they take no worries home at night, earn six figures plus as much as they want on side work and are pretty relaxed and enjoying life.
The same is true for others in the trades.

"The scam of the higher education system is that you need an advanced degree—yes, it's true for educrats and bureaucrats—but meaningless in the private sector after five years."
I don't know where this comment comes from or why you feel qualified to make such a blanket statement. Advanced degrees are prized by and sought after by many employers (just check some of the job listings at Intel, Boeing, or Genentech). In fact a former employer fully paid the cost of my MS degree in electrical engineering. Plenty of research jobs in various scientific and engineering fields require doctorate degrees. Where does this "five years" number come from?
Where are you getting your figures? Care to site any statistics or studies?

"The scam of the higher education system is that you need an advanced degree—yes, it's true for educrats and bureaucrats—but meaningless in the private sector after five years."
So my doctor and my lawyer both wasted their money and time earning their degrees? An M.D. and a J.D. both qualify as "advanced degrees" and both of those people work in the "private sector".
The figures on the cost of a university education are also vastly inflated. A California resident who attends community college for the first two years and completes AP courses in high school (which count as college credit), might only have to pay for 1 or at the most 2 years of university and can graduate owing little or nothing.
But calling higher education a "scam" reveals your agenda from the get-go. Seems you're running your own "scam" and you really should pack it in. Nobody's buying it and you shouldn't be selling it.

Mr Hunt,
Please say that you didn't mean to say that advanced degrees are a "scam". It was a mistake, right? Kind of like me spelling cite as site? ;-) You were kidding again, right?

BobB, I wouldn't look for any "facts" from Tim unless he gets them from FOX "news".
Here's something from that untrustworthy source, the left-wing radical scandal sheet known as The New York Times:
"According to rankings by U.S. News & World Report, Berkeley at No. 21 is the highest-rated public university in the nation, in the same tier as private institutions like Harvard, Stanford and Yale. State residents attending the University of California pay a small fraction — as little as 25 percent — of what students pay for tuition at similarly ranked colleges and universities.
Seven other University of California campuses are also ranked in the magazine's top 100, making them a relative bargain compared with most of the nation's other top-quality schools."
Web Link
That's some "scam" UC is running there, giving students a world-class education at the fraction of the cost of universities elsewhere. It's no wonder Silicon Valley giants like Apple, Google, and Yahoo packed up their entire operations and moved them to the free-thinking, low-tax state of Texas so many years ago.
I got the last paragraph from FOX "News". How's that for fair and balanced?

text: In this pure sky study Constable painted streets of cumulus clouds in a blue summer sky. As well as portraying the clouds, he captured the light at noon and its effects. There is good agreement between Constable's inscription and the weather records for the London area on that day, which suggest it was a showery day (Thornes 1999, p. 252). For this study and a number of others in 1822 Constable worked on a larger painting support than he had used for his 1821 sky studies.

Reviews of this property
The reception was pleasant and friendly. All appointments unfolded perfectly. Our room was obviously one of the biggest three rooms of an apartment. Spartan, huge black wall unit, black desk large bed and another small. To eye level of charwoman clean, slightly higher a layer of dust on the ceiling old cobwebs. No mirror in the room, no radio, no TV. WiFi works fine, there is even more networks whose data will be communicated.
The bathroom carelessly with suspended on wires plastic curtains in the bathtub - funkional but useless if these guests hang out! This is no fault of the host, but in such cases should be at least a wiper in the apartment to be. We were in any case on the last day in the water. There is also no trash can in the bathroom to dispose of the Haarkneuel the prior user of the bathtub. As an aside: There is a shelf in the bathroom - a superscript, pasted with paper wooden pallet. Here cleans the cleaning lady only where their work unit fits in between.
A corner of the hall was converted into a kitchen. A mini window into a kind of fireplace is the only ventilation, incidentally, also the toilet is accessible just in the kitchen area. The ventilation of the bath is probably in there, but not working. I do not want to imagine what's going on when the apartment is occupied with 9 people.
The host provides a lot of information about Prague is available and the location of the apartment could not be better, but I would still not stay this apartment.
Der Empfang war angenehm und freundlich. Alle Verabredungen klappten perfekt. Unser Zimmer war eines von drei Zimmern einer Wohnung, offensichtlich das größte. Spartanisch eingerichtet, riesige schwarze Schrankwand, schwarzer Schreibtisch großes Bett und ein weiteres kleines. Bis auf Augenhöhe der Putzfrau sauber, etwas höher eine Staubschicht, an der Decke alte Spinnweben. Kein Spiegel im Zimmer, kein Radio, kein TV. WiFi funktioniert einwandfrei, es gibt sogar mehrere Netze deren Zugangsdaten mitgeteilt werden.
Das Bad lieblos mit an Drähten aufgehängten Plastikvorhängen in der Badewanne - funkional, aber nutzlos, wenn Gäste diese außen hängen lassen! Das ist keine Schuld des Gastgebers, aber für solche Fälle sollte wenigstens ein Wischer in der Wohnung sein. Wir standen jedenfalls am letzten Tag im Wasser. Es gibt auch keinen Mülleimer im Bad um die Haarkneuel der Vorbenutzer aus der Badewanne zu entsorgen. Nur am Rande: Es gibt ein Regal im Bad - eine hochgestellte, mit Papier beklebte Holzpalette. Hier putzt die Putzfrau nur wo ihr Arbeitsgerät dazwischen passt.
Eine Ecke des Flurs wurde zur Küche umfunktioniert. Ein Minifenster zu einer Art Kamin ist die einzige Belüftung, übrigens auch der Toilette die genau im Küchenbereich zugänglich ist. Die Belüftung des Bades geht vermutlich auch da rein, funktioniert aber nicht. Ich will mir nicht vorstellen was da abgeht wenn die Wohnung mit 9 Leuten belegt ist.
Der Gastgeber stellt eine Menge Informationen zu Prag zur Verfügung und die Lage der Wohnung könnte besser nicht sein, aber ich würde trotzdem diese Wohnung nicht mehr buchen.
Nice large room, super central, but quiet; bathroom and kitchen are shared with two other rooms. Very reliable contact!
Did we liked, we would book again!
Schönes großes Zimmer, super zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegen; Bad und Küche werden mit zwei anderen Zimmern geteilt. Sehr zuverlässiger Kontakt!
Hat uns gut gefallen, würden wir wieder buchen!
Top and stay so central. Simple, clean rooms. The kitchen was well equipped. We were surprised that we shared the apartment with others. I am unsure if this came tydleig enough forward on the website. Otherwise, a nice apartment with friendly and helpful hosts in a beautiful city!
Topp og bo så sentralt. Enkle, rene rom. Kjøkkenet var velutstyrt. Vi ble overrasket over at vi delte leiligheten med flere. Jeg er usikker på om dette kom tydleig nok fram på nettsiden. Ellers en fin leilighet med hyggelige og hjelpsomme verter i en vakker by!
It was a simple and peaceful accommodation in the middle of the city with everything you need for a short trip to Prague (kitchen, bathroom, city maps ...). Lindsay and Vincent were very nice hosts who had some information for excursions and shops in Prague for us.
Everything was great. My friends felt very welcome and they loved the room. It is right in the city center, great location for visiting Prague.
Communication was great and I hope to visit the apartment myself in the future!
Appartamento comodo, letteralmente a due passi dal centro, stanza spaziosa e perfetta anche per un soggiorno di una settimana. Cucina e bagno sono in comune, ma li abbiamo sempre trovati puliti, sebbene i nostri coinquilini cambiassero spesso. Vincent e le sue assistenti sono molto socievoli, cordiali e disponibili per consigli e altro. Assolutamente consigliato

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is right in the heart of the city. You don't need train or tram. It takes about 20 minutes walk to Old Town Centre. It's very safe as there is a police station right opposite of the apartment. The bedroom is so big and clean but the only thing was the bed, the mattress was too soft and deep inside and I got backache when I woke up. Toilet and kitchen is so clean. The price i also very reasonable. Hope we could visit Prague again soon and will definitely come back to stay!.
We had a great time in Prague. Viola let us in and showed us our room and gave us a map. She pointed Some Nice things on the map which we did, and it Where fun things that were not Very touristic. The room was nice, only the light did not work, but there was a small lamp that worked. The kitchen was organised and sometimes Viola was there so we could have a Nice chat, and ask her anything. Thank you Vincent and Viola.
The apartment was good, the room spacious and very close to the old town (not even 5 minutes to walk). Lots of restaurants and bars around. Vincent's assistant is a very nice and friendly person, always willing to help and answer all our questions.

Two policemen have been fired and another could lose his job after the death of a New Zealand man in a Samoan prison cell last year.
Hans Dalton was found dead upside down in a 166 litre drum of water in Tafa'igata Prison outside of Apia on Boxing Day last year.
While initially ruled as a suicide, 21-year-old prisoner Jonathan Patrick Crichton was charged with his murder late last month.
A police investigation found the officers were "negligent" in carrying out their duties while Dalton was in prison, the Samoa Observer reported.
"They were dismissed last Wednesday," said assistant police commissioner Le'aupepe Fatu Pula.
"One other policeman has pleaded not guilty so he is waiting for a day to appear in front of the Tribunal."
"They have been dismissed [from work]."
Another officer is awaiting a decision from the tribunal.
The officers have not been named.
Crichton is serving a life sentence for killing a taxi driver at gunpoint last year.
He is yet to enter a plea over Dalton's death and will appear in court again next week.
Dalton was in Samoa visiting relatives when a mental health episode led family members to seek support from the authorities.
He was in jail at the time of his death because he had become violent and police needed to restrain him.

In the beginning of the game last week, Eli was motioning that he couldn't hear the play call. The announcers assumed his radio wasn't working. Then the sideline reporter chimed in a few plays later saying that the radio was working fine but they had to turn the volume up.
Incidentally on the one play that Eli clearly didn't get a play from the sideline, he stepped to the line of scrimmage and called a shotgun draw. Hilarious.
They might modify it game- to-game to include/exclude "set" and "hut" in a panic/hurry snap situation.
It's not the "how" they use this that bothers me (as you say every team does it in their own way) - but it's the amount of times they use it in a game that is alarming. Renders useless whatever the snap count they determined inside the huddle.
2) Agreed - whenever this offense is rolling along, everyone's all line up with about 7-9 seconds on the clock.
3) Usually happens when ^^^ - time left to work with.
I think it was as early as the first drive that Eli had his hands up in the universal sign for "WTF" towards the sideline. Maybe we try scripting the first 12-15 plays, **** that's 4-5 drives worth of plays!!

you guys clearly don't understand key words ......and I really don't care to sit here and explain how they work to you
Omaha is a part of Eli....as well as many other QBs in the leagues cadence
like I said go watch some Packer highlights ....on every single snap you will here ....and I quote
"3-19, 3-19 "
two times in a row.....every single snap
Giants break out of the huddle late compared to other teams. For a scheme that influences sight adjustments, I don't get what's beneficial about breaking so late, unless they think they're gaining an edge by not showing their look until the latest possible moment (and preventing the D from making adjustments).
Maybe this is Gilbride/Coughlin's thinking, and they care less about the snap count and Omahas.
IMO, a mix would be nice. Mix of tempo, snap counts, show your hand early, don't show your hand early, a game of cat and mouse.
Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience. MB Rule # 1

Disagrees with 'gun-grabbers'
Disagrees with 'gun-grabbers'
Sunday morning I watched Rick Nolan make a complete idiot out of himself.
When asked if he would support anti-gun legislation he said something to the effect he's been a hunter all his life from northeast Minnesota. He goes on to say we don't need these so called "assault weapons" to hunt ducks.
Really, Rick, you hunt ducks with a rifle? That's illegal, you know.
Just goes to show how stupid these gun-grabbers are. God help us!

Message from the Galactic Federation of Light 6/1/12 'Overcoming Delays'
Website: Ascension Earth 2012
Ascension Earth 2012
Farewell from Ascension Earth!
I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you for visiting Ascension Earth over the past few years and making this site, what I consider, such a wonderful and very surprising success since my first post way back in January of 2011. I never dreamed this site would receive just shy of 10 million page views since then, and I want to thank you all again for stopping in from time to time for a visit. I hope you have found some of the content interesting as well as educational, and I want everyone to know that I only shared content I believed to be factual at the time of publication, though I may have reached differing understandingsconcerning some of the subject matter as time has past. All of the content that has been shared here at Ascension Earth was shared with the goal of provoking contemplation and conversation, leading to a raising of consciousness, an ascension of consciousness. That's what ascension is to me.
I have made a decision to move on from here, but I will always remember and always cherish the friendships I have made along this twisting journey since launching this site, what feels like a lifetime ago now. I wish all of you the greatest success in each and every endeavor you shall undertake, and I hope each of you are graced with peace, love & light every step of the way as you continue your never ending journey through this incredibly breathtaking and ever mysterious universe we share together.
Conversation with
A Man Who Went to Mars
by Morgan Kochel
…And there you have it! This was the end of our discussion about the Mars mission, but I have remained in touch with Chad. At this point, I hope to be able to convince him to do a video or TV interview, but of course, there will be more than a few obstacles to overcome, the main one being that he may currently be in some danger if he goes public.
Furthermore, there is always the barrier of peoples' understandable skepticism.
As I said in the beginning, I cannot verify this story for anyone, nor is my intent to convince anyone of its veracity. My goal is only to help him get his story heard, because if this story IS true, the people of this planet are being lied to on a grand scale, and perhaps this will eventually help the UFO Disclosure Movement. It's time for the lies to be uncovered, and time for the truth -- whatever that may be -- to be known once and for all.

This has been a very strange year.
I divided a hive on April 14.
I installed a queen on April 18.
The queen was released on May 1.
When I checked the hive last week, the queen was there, but no eggs or larve.
When I checked the hive yesterday, I found a supercedure cell almost completely drawnout. There were no other eggs or larve in sight.
My understanding is that supercedure cells are only drawn out from queen cups when there is a larve in the cell. True or false?
Where could this egg have come from?

Neuroscience Institute
The brain is the final frontier of biology. Scientific inquiry has produced remarkably detailed knowledge of the physical world and much of the life sciences, including details of the human genome. However, our knowledge of the brain is far from complete. The nature and mechanisms of consciousness, thought, perception, learning, memory and many diseases of the nervous system are poorly understood. Neuroscience is now at an exciting threshold of discovery and unprecedented growth. The resulting explosion of information is rapidly increasing our understanding of the basic mechanisms of brain structure and function. This emerging knowledge is helping us discover effective treatments and even cures for some neurological diseases.

I read about Anne Turnham right here on Beesource.She is a beekeeper and owner of Custom

Thanks to all on Beesource for the positive and negative comsumer postings, with the economy as it is nobody needs to deal with anyone who is not curtious of your dolllar and time.
Thanks Anne Turnham, now my very first honey harvest is complete.

On Sunday, Uma Thurman gave birth to a baby girl. On Monday, Uma bundled up her hours old baby and ventured out to get some pressed juice. Apparently, Uma is such a fan of the pressed juice offerings at Press + Blend in Woodstock, NY that she can't go a day without getting her fix. So, despite the fact that she had *just* given birth to a baby the day before, she made her way out to her favorite juice bar to grab a drink.
Just one day after giving birth, supermom Uma Thurman was already out and about in public holding her newborn daughter at a cafe in upstate New York. With her one-day-old bundle of joy safely in her arms, the 42-year-old was spotted at Press and Blend in Woodstock, New York. We're told Uma is a regular at the shop and ordered cold pressed juices. A new mom needs her nourishment! On Sunday, Uma gave birth to her first child — whose name has yet to be announced — with boyfriend Arpad Busson. She has two children with ex-husband Ethan Hawke, while Arpad has two children from his previous relationship with supermodel Elle Macpherson.
LOL! Well, when you gotta get your juice … you gotta get your juice. I don't think a single person on Earth would fault Uma for leaving her just born baby at home while she runs out to get her daily fix of pressed juice but nope, that's not how this mama rolls. I'm not sure what they put in their drinks at Press + Blend but if this isn't a huge endorsement for the juicery, I don't know what is ;)

We just purchased our first GM product, a 2004 Suburban. 3rd child, constant trips to the baseball fields and something to tow the boat and the 5 of us to the lake necessitated the purchase. So far we really like The Burb as we call it. There are a few issues, non working voltage meter, power seat motor not working, worn out key fobs and a few cosmetic fixes that need to be made. But I've found lots of great info on these forums and now know that these are easy fixes and am looking forward to taking them on and possibly posting some write ups.

Leer Family Honey Farm-Shannon Leer
Great! You think the anti-neonic folks would be happy about this. Bees are being saved from a source of scientifically repeatable neonic deaths.
Oddly quiet though. I guess it's that Big-Ag solved a problem they created and some folks find it's simply too bitter a pill to swallow to say anything nice. Truth be told, no matter what's done or found that helps bees some folks will not be happy until Bayer, Monsanto, etc are out of business.
Ninja, is not in the dictionary. Well played Ninja's, well played...
Honey Hive Farms,
This sounds a little promising.
If they don't kill all of the bee, how will they implement nanotechnology? If this every happens we are in big trouble.

Dr. Annie Dandavati, professor of political science and director of women's studies at Hope College, has been invited to speak at an international conference focusing on "Gender Dynamics and International Regimes," taking place in Tokyo, Japan on Saturday-Monday, Feb. 20-22.
The title of her talk is "Gender, the State and Empowerment: Reflections from Latin America."
Dandavati asserts that while civil society has made gains in achieving women's empowerment, women's organizations must consistently pressure the State to create and maintain institutions and processes that are gender-responsive. Using Chile as a case study, she contends that both civil society from the bottom-up and international regimes from top-down must compel the State to establish not only a political discourse that is amenable to gender but must also hold the State accountable to adopt policies that help to create "substantive" democracies in Latin America.
Dandavati's invitation to the conference developed through contacts she made while serving as a visiting professor at MeijiGakuinUniversity during the fall semester. Hope and Meiji Gakuin have maintained ties since the 1960s, beginning with student exchanges and since 1994 including faculty exchanges.

This *** more then a game to me.. I care very deeply about the giants, probably more then i really should, and i think its pathetic thats what hes posting instead of sorry i su-cked yesterday and the team did...
Last edited by Die-Hard; 11-14-2012 at 05:39 PM. Reason: Profanity
My "it's just a game" comment obviously was referring to the people who go way overboard on their comments on players FB's, I.E Telling Steve Smith that they hope his entire family dies, or calling him the N word when he went to Philly.
Did you even read my post?
FB can give you hell. Just ask ex-giant (soon to be ex-NFL athlete) Steve Smith.
After he moved to Philly his facebook page was torn to shreds so badly it was deleted. Us New Yorkers have no sympathy for such BS.
An awful....AWFUL showing like we saw Sunday and Cruz is posting about what hat to wear???
Its fine to be picking hats, lets not get that wrong, and life is more than football. But he needs to understand his FB audience. We are fans and want to see the Giants win. When we lose that miserably the absolute last thing we would like to see is what hat Cruz is choosing. lord save us
No one remembers who came in second.
Again, a lot of you are taking the whole thing too seriously, to the point where it's quite disturbing.
He knows he's been playing badly lately. He knows the team has lost 2 in a row. He knows the fans are probably upset
So he has a Facebook account in order to connect with the fans. Yes, he should expect good AND bad things on there, and I can all but guarantee that he does. However, it still doesn't mean that going bat **** crazy on the guy for asking about a hat after a loss is ok, and that he deserves to be lambasted because you dont have the tact to know when you've gone too far. Like Harooni said earlier, I think a lot of you guys want to see a video of him bashing his head against the wall, instead of moving on with his life and working on getting his game back on track. He doesn't owe any single one of us a single thing, so get off his back, will ya? I'm quite sure that playing badly isn't part of his master plan.
By the way, the fans set the rules on how they react, not anyone else and certainly not Victor.
No one remembers who came in second.
Not being the least bit sarcastic or facetious. I'd really like to hear your solution.
These guys are trained to have short memories. You can't dwell on the mistakes or the bad games, because you'll never be able to get past them, and it'll carry over to the next one. Thats what I see Vic doing, and thats what I was taught when I played ball years ago. Forget it, and move on.

Regulars come one last time before Noank landmark closes
Groton - A woman poured her own coffee and another customer helped clear plates at Carson's Store on Tuesday, one of the Noank store's last days in business after 106 years.
The store had nearly run out of food by 11 a.m. The store will be open from 6:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. today so people may stop in for the last day, even if it has little or nothing to serve.
Customer Elisa Coppelman said after she heard the store was closing, she drove from Massachusetts to Noank on Monday night, arriving at midnight.
"When I was driving there, my feeling was I just had to be there," she said Tuesday. "I felt like I owed it to myself, for all that Carson's has stood for."
Coppelman owned the Bernese mountain dog, Maya, that was often tied to the pillar outside the store.
The business opened in 1907 but over the years became more than a diner. It was the place in Noank folks went to get their news: What movie was playing in town? Who died? Who caught the biggest fish at 4 a.m.? Who won the sailboat race?
Christine McGuire, who runs the store on weekdays, said it was hard to say goodbye to everyone.
"People are just sad. It's a sad day," she said.
Dave Blacker has owned the store for decades and declined to comment Monday on why it was closing.
McGuire said Tuesday it was a combination of factors. "It was just time," she said, without elaborating. She said she didn't know if it would reopen.
McGuire was the only one officially working at Carson's Tuesday, but she wasn't alone.
Dorothy Drucker of Ledyard wiped counters, picked up plates and rang people at the register. She said she'd known Blacker for years and he was a friend.
"It just doesn't seem possible," she said of the closing. "But that's life, right, in the big city?"
Customers' cars lined both sides of Main Street and nearby Pearl Street. Parents brought children in for one last ice cream, and people stuffed dollar bills into a cup by the register.
Michael Noel sat at the counter, waiting a good 15 minutes for scrambled eggs and toast. He said he hoped the restaurant would come back.
"I'm sure it'll probably be reopened," he said. "Hopefully, by the summer."
Barbara Servidio of Noank fought back tears after visiting the store. She remembered working as a waitress at Carson's at age 16, and said, "I've been going there all my life."
She sent an email to her friend, Coppelman, as soon as she heard.
Coppelman said her dog, Maya, introduced her to the diner. Coppelman and her husband had rented a cottage in Noank one summer, and as she walked Maya early one morning, she saw the store and stopped to look.
The dog clunked down on the porch as she got coffee. And for seven years after that, it became their routine.
Maya died in May.
On Tuesday, Coppelman poured her own coffee, split a corn muffin with her friend, then left so others could also enjoy a memory.
"It was a sadness you can't put into words," she said of her drive home.
"I touched that pillar where my Maya would have been and I realized that yet again, (it) is another ending."

Man suspected in triple murder arrested
PUEBLO COUNTY, Colo. - The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office announced that Harry Mapps was arrested in Roland, Oklahoma Saturday night.
Deputies with the U.S. Marshal Office developed information that Mapps was at a motel near Interstate 50 in Roland. Deputy U.S. Marshals and Task Force Officers from the Eastern District of Oklahoma Violent Crimes Task Force arrested Mapps with the help of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol and the Roland Police Department.
"The successful outcome of this large-scale manhunt is a testament to the combined efforts of law enforcement across numerous states and jurisdictions," said District of Colorado U.S. Marshal John Kammerzell. "I am honored that the Marshals Service could assist in bringing the alleged perpetrator of this horrific crime to justice."
Mapps was wanted by the Pueblo County Sheriff's Ofiice in the murder of three people, Kim Tuttle, Reggie Tuttle and their daughter, Dawn Roderick. Investigators believe he shot them while they were sleeping in their Rye home, then set the house on fire.
"There are a lot of people who will breathe easier knowing Harry Carl Mapps is in custody and our gratitude goes out to the law enforcement agencies nationwide," said Pueblo County Sheriff Kirk Taylor.
Mapps was wanted on three charges of first-degree murder, and additional felony charges of theft, identity theft, forgery, and arson.
"While our work isn't done, there is certainly satisfaction in knowing we can begin this next phase of the case and that Mapps will soon return to Pueblo to answer for the crimes he has been charged with," Sheriff Taylor said.

Herald News: Time for marriage equality
ON TUESDAY, three more states embraced marriage equality. It is time for New Jersey to be added to the list.
Voters in Maine and Washington supported referendums that backed those states' legislature's approval of same-sex marriage. Voters in Maryland acted without a legislative precedent. When the dust settles, nine states, plus the District of Columbia, will recognize same-sex marriage.
These victories are huge. Never before has same-sex marriage been approved by voters — equality had been granted by courts or legislatures, but denied at the ballot box. Before last week, even supporters of marriage equality would not have publicly said they would be victorious in all three states. And in Minnesota, a referendum that would limit marriage to heterosexual couples failed.
America's views on same-sex marriage have changed. In New Jersey, change has yet to arrive. The Legislature passed a marriage equality bill that was vetoed by Governor Christie. The governor has said he believes civil unions are working and if New Jerseyans want same-sex marriage, let them vote on it. No doubt, Christie will be able to trot out this excuse again, pointing to the successful same-sex marriage referendums as a sign that voters may endorse equality in New Jersey.
We understand that it is unlikely that a Republican governor with national aspirations would come out for marriage equality. We note Christie has been careful not to denigrate same-sex couples who want to be married. We have said this before and we restate it now: Christie is not homophobic.
But civil rights are not dependent on majority approval. Gay and lesbian couples who want to be married in civil ceremonies should be allowed to do just that in New Jersey. A public referendum on the issue is an excuse by legislators who do not want to take a stand on what they know is the right thing to do.
Now, not later, is the time to override Christie's veto. Now — before legislators look at 2013 races and state Republicans look at primary challenges from more conservative Republicans — is the moment for Democratic leaders in Trenton to pressure a few Republicans to stand up for all New Jerseyans.
While we do not expect the governor to support such a vote, we encourage him to publicly state that every Republican member of the Assembly and the Senate is free to vote his or her conscience.
These past weeks, New Jerseyans have seen the very best of their governor — a man of strength, compassion and boundless energy defending every citizen of this state. If there is a Republican capable of raising a bigger GOP tent, it is Christie. In tragedy, we all look to our families and our loved ones. There are no partisan politics when it comes to spouses and children. There should be no partisan politics preventing men and women who have formed families from calling themselves husbands and wives.
No one should have to wait for voter approval for such a legal union. As we have seen with Superstorm Sandy, lives can change in a moment. No one has a luxury of limitless time to form families or protect those families when tragedy strikes. From the ability to seamlessly follow a life partner to a hospital to knowing that survivor benefits will care for that partner if you are gone, these are rights that are not shared by all couples and that must change.
The Defense of Marriage Act bars legally married same-sex couples from receiving any federal benefits that are currently available to married couples. DOMA will change when enough states have changed their laws on same-sex marriage. Every state that embraces marriage equality brings full equality closer to every citizen.
This is New Jersey's time. Override Christie's veto.

Kids menus in Restaurants
I think something should be said about Kids Menus in restaurants. In most places you will find some processed chicken nuggets, fries and processed scampi etc... And think it's shame that adults will get some nice fresh food while the kids will eat some processed C....!
I should start with the restaurant I'm working in at the moment. I'll speak to my boss as soon as possible.
Thanks Jamie! Thanks everyone!

Re: Kids menus in Restaurants
I agree Raphaelle. Why do most places think we want our kids to eat crap when we go out, especially as it's not the type of stuff being offered on the adult menu. Yes some children are fussy, and I can see the idea of offering "typical kids food", but in so many places that's all there is to choose. Why can't they just do scaled down versions of the adult menu. Most kids are much more adventurous than we give them credit for. When it was my 40th we went to lunch in a Michellen stared restaurant, and the whole family loved the meal, including my then 7 and 8 year olds! Now we tend to just go for something off the adult menu, (well they eat more than me in anycase!).
Here in Finland there is a hotel chain called Scandic, which has a wonderful childrens menu, designed by guess who?.......................yes good old Jamie. It's got lots of traditional stuff, but with his own unique twist. It's just a shame others chains don't follow his lead!
Also, welcome to the forum!

Re: Kids menus in Restaurants
Hi! I had a word with my boss and he agreed. We will change the kids menu. And we also agreed to get some fresh/organics vegetables (from some small farms around) delivered every week ! That's good!
It's true that most kids eat normal stuff. At the restaurant most of the kids eat from the "real" menu.
Yeah yeah we can all change a few stuff around us, and that's how we can really start a revolution!

Re: Kids menus in Restaurants
When we take Mr.4 out to eat we usually order from the main menu and ask for an extra plate, utensils for him. He then eats a selection of what is on our plates.
That way he eats what he wants, no fuss, and no junk.

Re: Kids menus in Restaurants
You can put what you want on a kids menu, but they are not likely to order it. Then you will get stuck with dead stock. Most parents don't want to spend their restaurant experience fighting with their kids over eating veg. I know its not right, but more often than not, it is so. Sorry to sound so pesimistic, but I've been at this for quite a while and have tried just about everything. Kids want something they can't get at home, which leads them to the deep fryer. Restaurants are "treat time" so usually they order something fried. The current kids menu at my kitchen has pasta with tomato sauce, sandwhiches(grilled and plain), salads, cold plate (with raw veg, boiled egg, black forest ham, bread, apple slices). And......chicken fingers with fries. Guess what our biggest seller is?? Pass the ketchup...If we don't offer it, they will likely go someplace else. It's the parents who have to be responsible.

Re: Kids menus in Restaurants
Yes. I think my kids, if I have them, will simply learn consistently from a very early age that the fried or rubbish food is not an option, and why it's not, no matter where they're eating. Going to a restaurant can still be a treat without eating rubbish.

Re: Kids menus in Restaurants
None of my children will eat "kiddie food" so eating out when they were small was hard, then I starting doing the same as Shammy, just ask for a plate, knife and fork and give a little off mine, then as they grew i would buy an adult meal and split between them.
It all came to a head one holiday when one evening they all wanting something different, I asked the waitress if they did child portions, no. So after a lot of pushing I managed to speak to the "man in charge" who agreed that certain meals could be reduced in size. They got the benefit in the end as we went back there every night for the rest of our holiday. Now I don't worry, the 2 boys eat adult meals now anyway, but for my daughter I just ask and most places will.

not all restaurants can be tarred with the same brush!

Here sweet ripe nectarines and salty prosciutto ham are arranged on a crust slathered with basil pesto and sprinkled with assertive blue and provolone cheeses. If you haven't tried pizza on the grill, you're missing one of the joys of outdoor cooking. Once you've mastered this technique, use it with any selection of toppings that float your boat.

Serves 6
Prep Time 35 min
Total Time 35 min.
Step 1
Preheat grill to low.
Step 2
Mix provolone and blue cheese in a medium bowl; set aside.
Step 3
Sprinkle cornmeal onto a pizza peel or large baking sheet. When you're ready to get your pizzas on the grill, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Dust the top with flour; dimple with your fingertips to shape into a thick, flattened circle—don't worry if it's not perfectly symmetrical. Then use a rolling pin to roll into a circle about 14 inches in diameter. Transfer the dough to the prepared peel or baking sheet, making sure the underside of the dough is completely coated with cornmeal.
Step 4
Slide the crust onto the grill rack; close the lid. Cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 5
Using a large spatula, flip the crust. Spread pesto on the crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Quickly sprinkle three-fourths of the cheese mixture on top. Top with prosciutto, fruit and the remaining cheese.
Step 6
Close the lid again and grill until the cheese has melted and the bottom of the crust has browned, about 8 minutes.
Step 7
Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the pizza and season with pepper just before slicing and serving.

Arapahoe High attack plan revealed
CENTENNIAL, Colo. - New details revealed by the Arapahoe County Sheriff show a plan for a much larger attack at Arapahoe High School.
The Sheriff's Office says the shooter, 18-year-old Karl Pierson, had written on his arm five different letters and numbers that correlate with the library and different classrooms. Investigators believe they were a reminder of where to go next as he hunted for librarian and debate team coach Tracy Murphy.
After entering the school at 12:33 p.m. Pierson immediately and randomly fired the shotgun. His second blast causing serious injury to 17-year-old senior Claire Davis who investigators believe was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The gunman also had "Alea iacta est," on the inside of his forearm, which translates to English as "The die has been cast." That saying is attributed to Julius Caesar, who said the words as he crossed the Rubicon River with his troops to start a civil war…essentially a point of no return.
Frank DeAngelis, the principal at Columbine High when Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold killed 12 students and a teacher. He told our partners KDVR that the images of kids walking out of the school with their hands up brought back memories of that day 15 years ago.
"What I hear a lot of times is well the sooner we get back in school and we get back in classes we get back to normal...things will never get back to normal," DeAngelis said.

Also bhaw, if someone would have outed you what was your plan for that person, it probably wouldn't have made a ton of sense to eat that person the next night as the village may have caught on
I would have ate one of you two then kept the other and tried to convince people that the wolves set me up by eating the first one. It really depended on who all bought into it. People had short timers - for example, Kovy and NAN all of a sudden weren't even thought of for a couple rounds towards the end. I was sitting there like "hello! anyone remember the 8 pages of them trying to kill each other?"
mumbob, IrishEyes, Nuge - all killed because they had no enemies. IrishEyes had a couple, but they both died. Moral of the story... make more enemies.

text: So I supered my Warre. At first the work was slow. I gave them a comb as a ladder. They fully drew that out then began work on a second. They had an empty at the bottom and I wonder if they were drawing that because I checked on them and that top box was just full of bees. I wondered if they had built out comb as there were so many bees that I could not see from the top. So I tried looking from the bottom and realized that all of these bees were chaining! A clump fell and moved into the lower box. So I closed things up and moved on. The first two combs have been straight along the comb guides. So it seems to be doing well. I plan on taking a quick look today to see what is going on in the top and bottom box. They have been doing a bit of bearding so I wonder if that bottom box is full. If it is, I will have to add a 6th box.

Is that not how it works?
Doesn't even matter. Sac Pac is vastly superior. 1m cooldown for a 570k+ bubble. Ice Barrier is a 25s cooldown for a 100-120k bubble. On top of that, they have Soul Leech which gives them plenty of absorbs.

Also note that comparing a tier of warlock talents to a tier of mage talents is a fairly senseless and meaningless comparison. You have to look at the whole package.
Regardless, I'm not necessarily comparing talents. If you want, I'll throw in the utility, RIDICULOUS damage reduction, self healing, and all the other shit they have.
Whole package: Warlock flat out destroys Mages in PvE, and I don't think there's a single person who knows about both Warlocks AND Mages that would disagree.

back to the subject.
At 35k spell power,
Ice Barrier -- 120,080 damages -- 4803.2 HPS
Flame glow (20%) -- 7,000 damages of 23,333
Flame glow (15%) -- 5,250 damages of 17,500
First conclusion : it will be capped more easily.
In raw damage's absorb :
It takes 17.2 damage's event (> 23.3k) for FG(20%) to absorb the same amount than IB.
It takes 22.9 damage's event (> 17.5k) for FG(15%) to absorb the same amount than IB.
In HPS equivalent :
FG(20%) need 0.69 damage's event by second to provide the same HPS than IB (4803.2/7000).
FG(15%) need 0.92 damage's event by second to provide the same HPS than IB (4803.2/5250).
For a DOT that tick every second, FG will absorb the same amount than IB (25s) in 17.25s (at 20%) and 23s (at 15%). 25s*0.69 and 25s*0.92.
In PVE, FG (20%) was superior to IB if a channel's damage (ie Jin'rokh/Megaera) do damage for more than 17.25s. but it will be increase to 23s at 15%.
It make it completely useless !!!!
In PvP, FG (15%) is still better than IB against DoT but less than before.
I would have prefer that they reduce the damage's cap. For example, with a 15% cap, the damage need to do more than 46.6k for being capped and a 23.3k DOT will only be reduced by 3500. A reduced cap to 22.5% will result in only absorbing 5250 damage against at 23.3k spell ....
Conclusion : reducing the cap to 22.5% will result in the same PvP nerf but won't impact PvE.
And there's always the possibility to add a debuff against player like bomb.
The answers is 42
I don't know that much about mages anymore, but in terms of survivability I would probably agree. I'm almost always the last one to die on my warlock in a wipe.Regardless, I'm not necessarily comparing talents. If you want, I'll throw in the utility, RIDICULOUS damage reduction, self healing, and all the other shit they have.

---------- Post added 2013-05-14 at 10:16 AM ----------
They should just remove it and add a flat 20 - 15% damage reduction passive ability.
Maybe a better talent would be something that revolves around our Armour spells or that combines their defensive effects.
Elemental Armour: Your Armour spells share their defensive effects. In addition, all spell damage taken is reduced by 10% and all physical damage taken is reduced by an additional 4%.
More interesting than Flameglow, in my humble opinion.
20% would be an overkill, but 10% maybe 12,5% overall reduction, would be something we really need atm
I think it's absurd to have a talent that defends well against dual wielders really well, even if it also nerfs dots. I also don't get why, as D has pointed out, the "fix" manages to not even address the issue. Clearly the cap would need to shrink.
I think the talent was poorly thought out from the get-go. Things like rogue autoattacks and poisons are the weakest tools in pvp, and should not be punished further. The talent is 100% passive, which seems likely too strong, and on top of that has a name that requires an animation, which they simply don't provide. I could buy "Ironskin" or something, but if your name is "Flameglow", you need either flames, or a glow, or both of those things.
I believe that talents are more miss than hit. I would be comfortable deleting about half the tiers in the game, and I believe it would improve the game (with appropriate baseline, spec ties, and deletion). Some classes, such as druid, clearly had more effort put into balancing the tiers, while others, such as rogue, are largely halfassed. Then some, such as mages and hunters, got dps moves stuck in there, with ended up providing essentially no choice (or a choice tied to spec).
Talents suck.
Usually I want Cauterize for derp protection. But on Jin HM (ionization) and Council HM (frostbite) I want Coldsnap. On Meg HM I really want Greater Invis. And ofc swapping ice barrier and temporal shield all the time as you say. The choice between cauterize / cold snap / greater invis is a really interesting one imo, having a good time figuring out what to take for our remaining progression
The bombs I don't switch tho :P Nether tempest does it all atm though maybe next patch there'll be more swapping again.
As for glyphs, I'll take molten armor if there is physical aoe dmg, ice block for the fights I have cold snap for when I can, cone of cold for Tortos, evocation when there's space for it, invis for meg...
I actually like a lot of the talents / glyphs quite well, wish I could take blazing speed more often but as fire PoM just seems too much of a must. The last tier talents are idiotic ofc but I guess Blizz has given up on those and hopefully they'll be gone in next expansion :P
Last edited by Summer; 2013-05-15 at 05:59 AM.
IB and TS is just personal preference, as is Cauterize and G Invis.
Also, yeah, Glyphs are garbage for Mages. Frost has some small level of choice, Fire is set-in-stone, and Arcane doesn't even get any real choice. It's pathetic.

Which is even more funny, because IW (which is shit) is being nerfed even further as well.
(All 'opinions' of mine are PvE-based)
For what it is worth, I believe the mage tier 90 is the worst tier of talents in game. A hard won prize, to be sure. It's basically "which new mechanic do you want to bring to the fight" in PvE, and in PvP it becomes "you take IW, because the others are outright absurd in PvP".
