The Dr. Pat Show: Talk Radio to Thrive By!: The New Spiritual Chakras and How To Work with Them with Author Elizabeth Joyce
02/02/2016 10:00 am PDT
In order to know how to "heal consciousness," we first need reliable means to know what it is to "heal" and to have "consciousness" or to become "conscious." A new energy arrived on December 21, 2012, allowing all humans to access the higher dimensions through the NEW spiritual chakras. We need to understand that new energies are available to everyone on this planet to raise our vibration levels, and hence, raise our consciousness. How can this be accomplished?

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) The long-dormant Chaiten volcano blasted ash some 20 miles into the Andean sky on Tuesday, forcing thousands to evacuate and fouling a huge stretch of the South American continent.
The thick column of ash climbed into the stratosphere and blew eastward for hundreds of miles over Patagonia to the Atlantic Ocean, forcing schools and a regional airport to close. Citizens of both countries were advised to wear masks to avoid breathing the dangerous fallout.
The five-day-old eruption is the first in at least 9,000 years for the volcano in southern Chile, according to volcanologists at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington.
Chilean officials ordered the total evacuation of Chaiten, a small provincial capital in an area of lakes and glacier-carved fjords just six miles from the roiling cloud.
Also emptied was the soot-coated border town of Futaleufu, about 75 miles from the volcano.
The gritty, gray-white blizzard covered houses, roads and even cattle. People wrapped cloths around their faces and wore surgical masks as they slogged through the mess.
About a 1/2 inch of ash coated the Argentine tourist town of Esquel, a Patagonian resort favored by backpackers and skiers at the foot of the Andes whose airport and schools have been closed since Saturday.
The fallout covered a third of Argentina's Minnesota-sized province of Chubut, provincial Gov. Mario Das Neves said.
While volcanologists around the world eagerly awaited data on the scope of the eruption, one local expert got an up-close look when he accompanied police and air force teams over the 3,950-foot mountain.
Volcanologist Juan Cayupi told The Associated Press by telephone that Chaiten's two small craters have morphed into a large, single crater, and "a large amount of ash, particles, gas" was pouring out.
Lava was rising within this crater but has not yet spilled over, said Luis Lara, another volcanologist with the government's Geology and Mining Service.
The few remaining residents of Chaiten were transferred to two navy ships Tuesday, a day after President Michelle Bachelet visited the town, pledging financial help for people whose homes were damaged or livestock died after foraging on ash-covered grass.
Experts said it is too early to say whether the volcano will affect the world's climate.
So far, Chaiten has emitted only a few thousand tons of sulfur dioxide, "which is very small," said Simon Carn, a University of Maryland-Baltimore Campus volcanologist who uses satellites to measure volcanic gases.
In general, a volcano must spew at least 1 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere to have a global effect on climate, said Alan Robock, a Rutgers University professor who co-authored a book on the subject.
After eruptions of unusual size, sulfur dioxide, converted into sulfuric acid, can form a thin white cloud in the atmosphere that reflects sunlight away from Earth.
The Philippines' Mount Pinatubo produced a brief cooling of the climate after spewing 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide in 1991.
But Robock said this volcano is so close to the South Pole that any cooling would likely be limited to the Southern Hemisphere.

Boutique Charm Historic Romance in Old San Juan
The Gallery Inn • San Juan, Puerto Rico
Escape Kit
- A Three-Night Stay for Two in a Colonial Room, Arriving Sundays through Tuesdays ($265)
- Or, a Three-Night Stay for Two in a Colonial Room, Arriving Wednesdays through Saturdays ($291)
- Dinner for Two (One Appetizer, Two Entrées, One Dessert, and Two House Drinks)
- Combine Vouchers to Stay for Up to Six Nights
The Destination
Puerto Rico is a playground for the senses. Daytime brings abundant Caribbean sunshine while rum dazzles the taste buds. At night, the bay waters light up and a chorus of coquí frogs provides the soundtrack. Trek through the mist of El Yunque National Forest, parting dense foliage to reveal crashing waterfalls, then take a nighttime kayak trip on Laguna Grande bioluminescent bay. Quench your thirst for culture while wandering the streets of Old San Juan, stopping for a look around Castillo de San Cristóbal and El Morro fortresses, then tour a distillery and indulge in a rum tasting at Casa Bacardi. Exhilarating. Magical. Jaw-dropping. You'd need a dictionary to describe an experience like this, but we'll bet the first word that comes to mind is "wow."
The Digs
Perched atop the Old City's north wall overlooking San Juan Bay, The Gallery Inn mixes boutique style with centuries of history, creating a one-of-a-king hospitality experience. Originally a colonial mansion built more than 300 years ago, the inn has been re-imagined by artist and owner Jan D'Esopo, who's left much of the original architectural elements of this labyrinthine property intact, including the stone floors, imposing archways, and ausubo wood beams. A grand piano graces the Venetian-style music room, books and art line the walls, the orchid garden beckons guests to sit and read for a spell, and the sculpture-lined swimming pool offers a respite from the heat. There's even a garden from which the on-site restaurant sources much of its herbs and vegetables.
At 23,000 square feet, the inn is divided into 22 spacious rooms, each uniquely decorated with original artwork, rich colonial-style furnishings, and beautiful rugs. Colonial Rooms are slightly larger than the standard Artist Rooms and feature a full-size bed, plus a patio, balcony, or terrace that opens onto the interior gardens.
The Diversions
• Tuck into dinner for two—which might include crab turnovers, braised pork, and caramel flan—in the atomspheric dining room
• Peruse the boutique shops of Condado
• Explore the military forts of Old San Juan
• Hook a big one with Sea Born Fishing Charters
"Nothing like this rambling, eclectic inn exists anywhere else in San Juan—or Puerto Rico, for that matter."-- Read Fodor's Review of The Gallery Inn

Laura Dekker is awaiting a court's decision on whether she can go ahead with her voyage. The Utrecht court temporarily blocked her departure in August out of concern for her safety, sparking a worldwide debate on how much children's freedom should be limited. "Before I made the plan I didn't expect [so much publicity] but now I'm trying to make the best of it," she told a television station.

Thanks for helping!
Stopped in with a few friends for a drink and light meal.service was good enough, food not the greatest or the freshest. Only had poutine so cannot speak for the whole menu.
Prices are OK, Older restaurant.
Worst Pizza Ever!!!!! Served to us with barley melted cheese cold toppings and raw crust. We could not eat it and were not given a discount. Never Never again.
Good breakfast, large menu, too large.
When we go there it is usually for breakfast, during the week you get onions in your cubed potatoes, however on weekends it is not a choice.
The club sandwich is good and has lots of bacon, the spaghetti gratine is one of my favorite dishes.
I used to travel from far to bring family and friends to this restaurant. It was a nice drive. The food and service were very good.
Then it was taken over by new owners. At first it was okay. But then it quickly declined. Prices went up and quality of food and service down.
I find it very sad to...
Terrible food and even worse service. It used to be very good a few years ago, but the new owners are more interested in making money than serving quality food.
Under new management for the last couple years and now they try to be good at everything,the menu is way too big for them(and anybody) Result : Food is mediocre even for a small village place. It used to be good,not great, good. But now its terrible and service was not that good either. Sorry.
I patronized this restaurant regularly for business reasons from May to August in the summer of 2011. The staff was always incredibly accommodating and friendly, and whatever I and my colleagues ordered was always good. For a restaurant in cottage country, the service was exceptional.
My husband and I have been going there for the past 20 years, and we've always enjoyed the food, the atmosphere (it's so cozy!), and the staff is terrific! They are friendly and will go out of their way to make sure your dinner is perfect.
We have a cottage nearby, and we always look forward to our dinner at...
This was a good place to go to for good food and good service. Not sure what happened. Kinda went down hill in the past year of so.
Prices went up, service and food quality down.
It's a shame.

Rubberized Abrasives
Cratex rubber-bonded abrasives are used in widely diversified list of industries, on production and assembly lines, in finishing operations, in tool and machine shops in production of basic tools, instruments, components parts and for maintenance and repairs.
Grit textures
Each Cratex size and shape is make in four standard grit textures or compositions which differ in accordance with the mesh size of the abrasive grain used:
- C - course (green)
- F - fine (reddish brown)
- M - medium (dark brown)
- XF - extra fine (grey green)
Cratex standard bond
The Cratex bond common to each of the four grit textures is made with premium grade oil-resistant chemical rubber. In contrast to conventional grinding wheels the Cratex bond has unique cushioned action; cuts freely, smoothly and softly without gouging or digging into the work surface. It resists clogging or smearing, and is ideal for a broad range of applications where metallic or non metallic surfaces must be smoothed and polished without loss of dimensional tolerances or control.
Cratex hard bond
The Cratex hard bond increases the cutting action when compared to the Cratex standard bond is is designed for use only in specialization applications. The hard bond removes burrs on hard metals like stainless steel and can also be used for light grinding on applications where light metal removal is essential. All Cratex flexible abrasive finishers, in each of the four grit textures are available in hard bong. Hard bond is not available in kits and minimum quantities are required.
Cratex abrasive type
The abrasive type used in Cratex rubberized abrasives is premium-quality silicon carbide that has been washed, dried and treated to remove impurities and then carefully screen to U.S.department of commerce standards for size. Although silicon carbide is more expensive than other abrasive materials, it is used because it has a high level of purity and has been found to be best for the broadest range of light deburring, smoothing, cleaning and polishing applications on ferrous and non-ferrous alloys as well as many non-metallics, such as glass.
Shapes and sizes
The Cratex small wheels, large wheels, points, cones, blocks and sticks listed in this catalog are all available as standard products. The occasional need for non-catalog shapes or compositions can usually be solved by adapting or modifying standard shapes and compositions to meet special requirements. Several wheels can be mounted in series for added width. the abrasive action of the wheels can be softened by using lower operating speeds and lighter work pressures. Cratex rubber bonded abrasives can also be dressed or shaped to special contours using conventional abrasive wheel dressing tools and methods. Contact a customer services representative for further information.
Quality control
All Cratex rubberized abrasives are made and safely inspected to the requirements of American National Standards Institute (ANSI) publication, B7.1 safety requirements for the use, care and protection of abrasive wheels. This publication should be made available to all operators of Cratex products. Copies of this publication are available from:

sbc_pd10: Sir; it is tough to recommend to a friend. Check these out. Good quality, in your price range.
Ruger SR9 in NC $399.00
Stoeger Cougar 8000 $359.00 A Beretta renamed.
Quality is there with either. It is harder to research the Cougar 8000 because Stoeger's marketing strategy; it sucks but that shouldn't throw you off in any way. Beretta is the service center for the 8000
Ruger has a history of taking care of there customers. Which ???
Accuracy: Cougar is more accurate; Ruger is quite accurate.

Fat Beats LA Store on Melrose Closes Today with a DJ Instore Farewell Celebration at the Longtime Hip-Hop Meeting Place
Evidence "To Be Continued" live @ Fat Beats LA on Friday Sept 17th 2010
Two weekends ago the Fat Beats retail store in New York City closed shop for good and today the Fat Beats store in LA will follow suit. And while the shuttering of this longtime SoCal meeting ground for hip-hop fans and artists is most definitely a sad day, the good folks at Fat Beats are going out on a high celebratory note rather than a just a downer tearful farewell. Today's final day for the LA Fat Beats on Melrose is the culmination of a week and a half long series of music industry panels and energized instore performances that included Ras Kass, Dilated Peoples, Evidence (solo, as in video above from Friday), Bishop Lamont, Kurupt, Mellow Man Ace, and 2Mex (as seen in video below from last weekend), with a day long DJ showcase featuring J Rocc, Rhettmatic, DJ Revolution, and other turntable manipulators throughout today.
Don't miss it if you are the LA area! Allow time to get in, as the relatively small space will quickly get crowded. Two weekends ago at the September 4th closing of Fat Beats on Sixth Ave in Greenwich Village, NY, it was so crazy that myself and another two or three hundred fans, who arrived late in the afternoon, got stuck outside listening to the music blaring out the windows of the second floor store. Like the closing of the NYC Fat Beats, the closing of the LA store is more than simply some retail space closing down. It is the loss of an important community common ground, a local hip-hop institution that lovers of the genre gravitated towards and where, it seemed, there was always some must-see instore performance.
Hip-Hop Rap Up 08:27:10: Messy Marv, Berner, Cut Chemist, Tha Dogg Pound, Timeless, B+, J-Rocc, Park Jam, Ava DuVernay
1) Messy Marv and Berner Blow (Blocks and Boat Docks) (Bern One Entertainment)
2) Exile Am/Fm (Traffic)
3) Camu Tao King of Hearts. (Fat Possum/Def Jux)
4) Cut Chemist Sound of the Police (A Stable Sound/Soul Kitchen)
5) Tha Dogg Pound 100 Wayz (Gangsta Advisory Recordingz Inc)
I would not be surprised if you were to look up the word prolific in the dictionary -- at least in the Bay Area rap dictionary -- and a picture of Messy Marv popped up beside the definition. The longtime Bay Area rapper has been consistently releasing new material at such an astonishing rate that it would appear that he never sleeps, never leaves the studio. If you recall just two short weeks ago the new Messy Marv overseen SF collection Thizz City was on the Amoeba Top Five chart. Now this week Marv is back with another new collaborative release, Blow (Blocks and Boat Docks), which shot straight to number one at the San Francisco Amoeba. Released on Bern One Entertainment, this collaboration with Berner features Messy Marv on every track, and is a sequel to their joint project Blow, released late '09. As the title and album cover above implies, this more of that drug slanging school of rap music.


text: Hello, Long time reader and first time poster. I have found the information on these forums to be invaluable and has helped me make many good purchases. I have searched this site and the Internet for some sort of idea as to the answer of this question and have nothing. So I apologize if this has already been addressed. I understand this sites feelings toward the quality and branding of Superdry. I am looking for shirts and jackets. I no longer wish to have so much branded apparel but I haven't found anything that comes close to the fit superdrys products provide me. Slim tailoring and long arms. Does anyone know of any other places I may looks for something similar? Preferably ones that wouldn't require heavy alteration. I have tried Brooks Brothers, J crew, nordstroms, basically I look everywhere. But arms are always too short and if I can size up to get the arms to fit then the body size is way too big. Any info anyone can provide would be helpful. Maybe I need to look to more English style designers. But I don't know where to start.

Hi-Tech simply turned off a valve on the boiler in the apartment that shut off the heat in the apartment instead of properly repairing it and they charged the landlord a large amount of money for the repair work (The landlord was unaware what Hi-Tech did to shut-off the heat and believed HI-TECH properly reparied the boiler).
When winter came, the tenant complained to the landlord that she could not turn on the heat in the apartment via the thermostat. The landlord called HI-TECH and complained that their negligent repair work caused the boiler not to turn back on via the thermostat when needed. HI-TECH INTENTIONALLY AND KNOWINGLY concealed from the landlord that it merely turned off a valve on the boiler and the landlord merely needed to turn it back on for the purpose of fraudulently billing the landlord for additional work on the boiler. [continued below]....
Tenant's Text Message to the Landlord on October 23 2013:
"Bert said the new company you hired was very good. They saw that Hi Tech had turned off the valves so no heat could go through. So they opened them up and waited for the heat to go on. Maybe that was how Hi-Tech solved the problem last year when my heat wouldn't go off, which isn't much of a solution. Anyway thanks. We now have heat."
When the landlord demanded that HI-TECH repair their negligent work to allow the boiler to turn back on or the landlord would file a legal action against HI-TECH, Steve of HI-TECH refused to perform the work and continued to conceal that only a valve needed to be turned on. Steve told the landlord that he had to pay COD for a HI-TECH employee to come out to repair the boiler. This is clear fraud, misrepresentation and negligence on the part of HI-TECH. Steve then engaged in email communications with the landlord that amounted to blackmail and constituted the criminal offense of "Aggravated Harassment" under NY Penal Code 240.30 when he falsely informed the landlord that the boilers were illegally installed and he would report the issue to the Dept. of Buildings if the landlord sued HI-TECH (Notice how Steve states in his email that he was working on the boilers for 7 years).
In the lawsuit being filed withing the New York Supreme Court agaisnt HI-TECH, a claim UPON INFORAMATION AND BELIEF is being pled that HI-TECH had engaged in repeated fraudulent repair work on the boilers within the landlords building over the years. The tenant boilers that HI-TECH had worked on would repeatedly break down within a short period of time while the landlords identical boilers in two apartments rarely needed repair work (This is an issue of fact to be proven within the Court of law under discovery).
The following email communications from Steve of HI-TECH proves he engaged in acts of fraud, misrepresentation, aggravated harassment and HI-TECH was negligent in the repair of the boiler, which are the claims being asserted against Steve and HI-TECH within the New York Supreme Court lawsuit:

Subject: LEGAL NOTICE (26 Bond Street)
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the boiler in apartment 1R was previously failing to shut off in 2013. Your company had previously repaired the boiler in apartment 1R in 2013 where you shut the boiler down. At this time, the boiler will NOT turn on. I have requested that your company repair your negligent work. HOWEVER, the female individual who answered the phone refused to repair your negligent work unless we provided additional payment. She also made an irrelevant statement that my mother, _____, and my sister, ______, never complained about your company (My mother always complained about your company to me). Your employee also stated that I should just sue your company.

I stand by all the statements I made in the above complaint against this company and I have proof. And his reply proves he even knew who I was.
In fact, if the statements I made against HI-TECH above are false, why have they NOT sued me for defamation? I dare them to.....on the other hand, they just gave me another claim for defamation against them by stating I committed fraud.

I am now going to sue the Contractor for defamation in accusing me of committing FRAUD. I have all the email communication from this contractor. I also have a tenant witness and another boiler repair company who will testify to the above claims I made about this contractor.
This boiler repair company did try to cheat me in repairing my tenants boiler. He knows exactly who I am since I have spoken to him and his employees many times in the past years for my mother, which I can prove and now for me as the new landlord and owner of the building. NEVERTHELESS, that is irrelevant. In addition, the contractor's response above is not that of an intelligent person. As you can see, the writer doesn't even address the correct facts or issue in dispute. For example, he ignores his emails to me, the witness statements from the tenant and the other boiler company, which will be presented to the Judge.
That contactor was dishonest and they did try to cheat me and then one of them tried to blackmail me by threatening if i sued them, they would file a report to the Dept of Builings that the boiler was illegal after they have been servicing it for awhile and never mentioned anything about an illegal boiler until now. Now they have falsely accused me of FRAUD to the public, which constitutes DEFAMATON PER SE and allows me to receive damages against them without proving any loses. I am preparing the lawsuit against them that will now include defamation. I will post everything here for you to read inlcuding their response.
You are about to find out that the contractor is a liar and they attempted to cheat me. Plus, there are facts available that may also prove that they were cheating the prior landlord. For example, there is a bill for over $2,000 for the contractor simply turning off a valve on the boiler to stop the heat from automatically turning on. This is the same valve that stopped the boiler from turning on and they wanted to charge me an additional fee to come out and repair the bioler while never telling me they had turned off the valve. I have all documented evidence and witness.
I will post the Summons and Verified Complaint with evidence against this contractor here for your own personal review so you can see that I am telling the truth that this contractor cheated me and he most likely was cheating my mother who owned the building before me.

Louise Commits Defamation
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, May 13, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, May 13, 2014
The statement above from Louise is absolutely ridiculous, it makes NO sense and it is a dafamatory statement. I have communicated with Hi Tech many times for my mother in the past and Louise admits he knew my mother who owned the building and now I do. NEVERTHELESS, whether he previously knew me is irrelevant. As the new owner of the building, Hi Tech did attempt to cheat me and I have the emails and witnesses to prove it. In addition, I have evidence that may prove they were cheating the previous owner too.
Louise is merely attempting to hide the crooked acts of his company and now he has defamed me by accusing me of committing fraud. I will be suing the company and adding a new defamation cause of action against them. I will also post all the documents on the Internet and you will see the truth and that Louise is a liar.

The statements by Louise above are false. He knows who I am, who my mother was and my sister. He has also defamed me, which creates another cause of action. Hi Tech did try to cheat me and that is the truth. Plus, there appears to be evidence that they may have been cheating my mother too.

This gentleman is NOT even a customer and we have NO idea, where his claim comes from. We never did work for him, nor did we ever speak to him prior to the 1 day he called our company. His mother and sister were our customers (for over 8 years) and after his mother passed he was in dispute with his sister over the property in his claim against us. His claims are fraudulant and lies!!! Nothing he says is true...not one word. I think this website should ask for some type of proof , for claims against a business, other than a persons word for it. Its so sad that this post was allowed to happen without confirmation or cause!!!
This is nothing more than slander against an honest, hard working small business, with an EXCELLENT reputation!!!

Purim Sweets: Chocolate-Dipped Orangettes
Photos by Gayle L. Squires
Orangettes are candied orange peel dipped in dark chocolate. Rather than just using the bright-colored zest, they use the slightly bitter pith, tamed by several dunks in boiling water. I add orange blossom water to the candying syrup to complement the pith. You can substitute for the extract two tablespoons of Cointreau (a cousin to orange blossom water, using the peel rather than flower of bitter Seville oranges) for a boozier snack.
Makes about 100 candies
2 navel oranges (organic and washed well)
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons orange blossom water
½ pound dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa; I like Callebaut or Ghirardelli)
Peel. Cut off the tops and bottoms of the oranges. Score the skin vertically into quarters down to the flesh. Using your fingers tips and a large spoon, wiggle off the skin (rind and white pith) of each segment in one piece.
Slice. Slice the peel into very thin (approximately 1/8-inch) slices. Each orange should yield 50-60 slices. Use the tip of a paring knife to trim some of the pith from each slice.
Boil. Place the peels in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Drain the peels and rinse with cold water. Clean the saucepan. Repeat the boil-drain-rinse-clean process two more times. Each boil removes some of the bitterness from the peels.
Simmer. Add sugar, water, and orange blossom water to the cleaned saucepan and boil until the sugar dissolves into thin simple syrup, about 5 minutes. Add the rinsed peels and lower temperature to medium so that the syrup gently bubbles to the surface. Be careful not to burn the sugar. Swirl the pan every 20 minutes, but do not stir, which may introduce sugar crystals into the syrup. Simmer gently for 45 to 60 minutes until the peels are translucent. Be careful – the syrup is very hot and can scald.
Dry. Allow the syrup to cool for 10 minutes or until you can handle the peels. Space the peels out on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet (to catch drips) and allow to dry out overnight. Reserve any extra syrup and use to sweeten iced tea or cocktails.
Dip. Temper your chocolate (using this method if you have a candy thermometer and this one if you don't). Dip each candied peel half-way into the chocolate and place on parchment or a wire rack to dry.
Store. Store orangettes in an airtight jar at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Not tried it yet but I'm about to pop the download on, will do a proper write-up when I've looked it over. Only thing that concerns me is the 'episodic' nature really - it could be great, but only if they don't take an absolute age between episodes.
Wing Commander Saga is a corker and absolutely massive, I've still not finished it. The voice acting is a bit cringeworthy at times but that barely registers as it's a fan-game, not a proper studio. Well worth the time setting the joystick up if you're a fan of the old WC games. I have similarly high hopes for this - I'll let you know

More FTL last night, I can't stop playing the bloody game, it's absolutely brilliant.
Got my basic tactics down pat now, try to use a combo of weapons to take down shields and weapons then keep attacking the weapons so they can't shoot back.
Obviously this doesn't work as well if they've got a teleporter or drones, being boarded is scary stuff.
IdleThumbs love FTL, will definitely give this a go.

Hmmm, wonder what this could be!
From The Chairman:
If you�ve made it here, you probably know who I am. Maybe you have heard of Wing Commander and its sequels, or perhaps Strike Commander, Privateer or Freelancer.
If not, you�re still welcome!
I grew up making video games. I sold my first game at the age of 13 and created Wing Commander when I was 21. But 10 years ago, at the height of my career I took a break. Not because I stopped loving or playing games but because I had become frustrated with the limits of the technology at the time to realize my vision.
I decided to pursue my desire to create detailed worlds and tell sophisticated stories in film.
I always said the moment I became interested in making games again was when I was going to come back.
With the power of today�s computers and the reach of the internet I finally feel I have the tools to build the connected experience that I always dreamed of. A world that would be more satisfying and richer than any film I could work on.
With films you tell stories but with games you create worlds.
If you�ve played my games, you�ll know that�s what I love to do.
I�m here to tell you that I have been working on something for just under a year, something that embraces everything that my past games stood for but takes it to the next level.
I hope you�ll be as excited by it as I am.
My new endeavor is still in its early stages but I invite you to take the journey with me.
If you register below you�ll become an insider that will not only give you early access to the game�s website and forums, but you will also get the opportunity for rewards and privileges that no one else will get. It�s my way of showing how important your early involvement and support is.
The full announcement will be at 10am Eastern Standard Time (UTC -5) on the 10th day of the 10th month of this year.
My name is Chris Roberts.
And if you would indulge me I would like to create a world for you."
Whatever GDC Online is, it'll likely be awesome.

I never realised he directed the Wing Commander film.
Looks like this chap could teach David Braben a thing or two about pitching a space sim on Kickstarter, he's got my backing.
May switch my pledge to this from Elite.
That's damn impressive... what a talented little shit! I might even have to fund that too...

Well I just reinstalled Freespace2 and Freespace open and a few mods for that. I've basically been playing it all week. It's looking beautiful these days, and I have to say that Diaspora seems pretty spectacular after I had a little trouble persuading it to recognise my joystick. It works beautifully with TrackIR and somehow has 6DOF which the rest of Freespace Open doesn't seem to support.
There may be hardly any space games of it's ilk available to buy, but damn, Freespace has still got it.
Just heard about a new kickstarter for what looks to be a pretty amazing game, sadly I doubt it'll make the money at this stage, but it deserves a look.

300K is a big target for some no-mark developer, but it'd be great to see it get made.
Interview with Notch here:
Don't expect 0x10c any time soon (if ever!)
Fellow spacecadets,
I've been mucking about with X3 Terran Conflict lately and have been playing around with adding a variety of Sci Fi multiverse ships into the game. None of the ships were made by me, and most of them came from links on the Egosoft forums - if you grab Cycrow's excellent package manager you should see the names of the authors, and you will need this program in order to add the ships to the game. Grab Cycrow's package manager from here.
What I've done is edit the ship files so that the new ships replace existing ones, and I have tried to balance the ships to the vanilla game, as far as possible. I've replaced the vanilla races with the following:
Argon - Battlestar Galactica Colonials, plus ships from Firefly, Space Above and Beyond, and a few Babylon 5 ships
Boron - The Dominion (well, kind of), which features non-Federation ships from Star Trek, such as Klingon, Cardassian, and Romulan ships
Paranid - The Empire from Star Wars, including TIE Fighters, Star Destroyers and stuff
Teladi - The Rebel Alliance from Star Wars, so X-Wings, Y-Wings, A-Wings and that kind of thing
Terran - The Federation from Star Trek
Xenon - The Cylons, so Raiders, Heavy Raiders, and Base Stars (not sure the Base Star is working properly)
Yaki - Random Star Wars ships that I had left over
The ships are all zipped up into individual folders for each race, and are generally clearly labelled, so you can pick and choose which ones you use. You might need to install them in smaller batches, rather than in bulk, but I can confirm that I have tested all of them and they are working with my (Steam) version of X:TC.
I had grand plans for modding the universe, re-naming planets, creating missions, and so on, and I *might* get around to doing that one day, but I thought I would share what I have done so far in case anyone fancies playing around with it. Let me know if you do, and if you have any tips for improving things.
Ships are available here as a rar archive (198MB)
Many thanks to Cycrow, all of the ship creators (Jorkin, Deadly_DA, HawkBS, Tenchin, Arachno, and anyone else I have missed), the community on the Egosoft forums, and Egosoft themselves. One day I will play a proper game of X:TC, rather than just mucking about with modding it!
Edit - added file size of the .rar file to the post

Browser Wing Commander game under development. Going to be according to the devs. Looks like it could be a lot of fun.
Love me a bit of free . You can even fly on planets!
If you're in a Wing Commander mood, get Wing Commander Saga. It's also free (and really quite good):

U.S. Investigates Michael Moore
Posted on May 10, 2007
The Treasury Department is investigating documentarian Michael Moore over a recent trip to Cuba that the government says may have violated the trade embargo. Moore brought a group of ailing 9/11 rescue workers to the island nation in making his latest film, "Sicko," an exploration of the healthcare system.

Okay, so has the government sent a letter to Rush Limbaugh to ask where he gets all those Cuban cigars that he boasts about? I assume he pays for them, thus helping bolster the Cuban economy and violating the trade embargo.

Michael, this is lovely stuff of genius, but I wish you could go sit safely enough in another country and point out the 9/11 coverup.

The United States position on Cuba is so antiquated and hipocritical! It is used as a cornerstone issue by the Republicans to claim some kind of "moral high ground" because Cuba is still run as a Communist system and is not "democratic." Last I checked the cold war is "over" and Cuba poses no threat to the United States. It will take a progressive Democratic President to finally end the fear and paranoia about Cuba generated by Republican/Anti-communist hysteria. Three cheers for MM!! He's making the point that the 911 workers actually received better healthcare in Cuba than in the U.S. The Treasury Dept is wasting its time and only helps to promote Moore's film. Moore is a genius at self-promotion.

"Investigates" in the article's title seems a little over the top and sensationalist. Yes, the embargo is the stupidest long-term foreign policy we're currently engaged in. Yes, the law that requires that you have a special license or permission to travel to Cuba is both stupid and counterproductive. But it's a pretty clear law, and it's pretty clear whether you're in compliance or not (you either obtained the required permission in advance, or you did not). I have no problem with someone breaking the law (I intend to do it myself later this year, although not publicly like Moore - apparently - did). But if you do so, don't sensationalize the goverment's enforcement of the law—after all, don't we want the government to enforce the laws fairly and evenhandedly? Isn't that what the Gonzales scandal is all about? The issue shouldn't be whether Moore is being "investigated" - it should be that Moore is likely to be punished under a pointless law that our elected leaders ought to change. And we ought to be electing people with the courage to make that change—not sensationalizing when the government reasonably asks someone "did you, or did you not, break the law"??

Incase you do not know, Cuba has some very good health facilities (basically 2) with some of the best european MDs running it. The thing is, this is for visitors of the country. The Cuban government provides this service to earn money, the cuban people have farce healthcare. I expect MM will video-tape those hospitals as being the norm.

Next the Treasury Department will demand NATO militarily go after the World Health Organization for rating Cuba's overall health care system about the same as the US. The new America… always shooting itself in the foot.
The World Health Organization ranks our healthcare system 37th by overall performance behind Columbia and Chile, just better than Cuba. Yet by expenditure per capita, we suffer the highest cost healthcare in the world. Its a goldbrick that submerges many families into bankruptcy and it is sinking municipalities and industries too.
And capitalists slap themselves on the back. Bravo.

I am sure our government has had Michael in their scope for years and have just been waiting for something on which they believe they can fire a shot at him. He speaks far too much truth and questions authority way to much, for the comfort of those of the controlling elements in our country. They want the Michaels in the world to just sit down, shut up and let them run the show. Not happening with this dude. Keep it up Michael!

Welcome to the United States of Oppression and Repression and suppression and the Republican penchant for wasting tax dollars trying to interfer with basic freedoms. Cuba is a none issue, except with the refugees, who were mostly over priveleged casino and whore house owners before Castro

I'm amazed that big brother only used one department to go after mike. The others must be busy with the legions of other critics of all the gov/corp travestries. Christ, Ghandhi, Carl Marx/Sagan and Michael Moore are my heros. Hitler, Rove, Cheney and Bush are humanity's curse.

Must be a good documentary and might hurt the HMOs so the enforcement arm of The New American Fascism is on case.

Send them a fine cuban cigar, some rum and tell them to go to hell. Tell em you're taking the fifth. Tell them you can't recall, forgot, or send them a signing statement. Why should any citizen have to do something this administration won't do. It's been 5 years of crap and they still haven't explained theirselves to us, so tell them to watch the movie when it comes out, if they dare. Tell the Whitehouse you'll give them a free preview! Go get em again, Mike!

we need more people like mike. time people stand up to the government and hold them accountable. they work for us but no one would know it. waste 500 billion on war against a country that we didn't need to fight. just imagine how many people we could have helped and how well we could have strengthened the military and government against the real terrorist. Now, the terrorist threat is greater and stronger.
bush is a complete idiot..really.
can't wait to see mikes new film

Whaat the government won'tdo, recently someone brought some fake watches about four and the government wanted to fine him 55,000.00 the amazing thing is there are real crooks out there but got to go after the easiest target.
Soon this Bush and company will be the target of an impeachment investigation.
Can this administration be impeached, I think so.
