Taylor Armstrong tells HollywoodLife.com she's trying to be funny, but everyone thinks she's being serious all the time!
There's no question that the youngest Real Housewife of Beverly Hills, Taylor Armstrong, is a charming and intelligent philanthropist and entrepreneur. However, the gal who can add the spice to any group of ladies is working on delivering more of the funny, because she thinks the other housewives don't get her humor!
"Lately, I've been feeling like some people haven't been getting the humor immediately," Taylor told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at the TV Guide Hot List Party Nov. 8."I don't know maybe I need to take some comedy classes or something."
She might actually have a point there. So many comedians from shows like SNL and South Park make a living from impersonating the Housewives, it would be nice to see one of the women actually hold their own and have the opportunity for some worthy comebacks from time to time!
Do you think Taylor has what it takes to be funny, or does her crazy and glamorous life provide enough LOLs already?

Chaos at D.C. Taxicab Meeting as Cabbies Shout Down Regulators
A meeting of the D.C. Taxicab Commission ended in an uproar on Wednesday, as nearly 300 cab drivers organized by the Teamsters union erupted in anger when the commission's chairman attempted to read aloud a letter from an unhappy cab customer.
The cabbies' shouts of protest drowned out Chairman Ron Linton, who stopped reading the customer's complaint about poor service, pounded his gavel for the last time, and adjourned an ear-splitting session that seemed to accomplish little other than giving frustrated drivers a chance to vent.
Organized by Teamsters
More than 1,800 Washington cab drivers have joined an association with the Teamsters, who organized a rally outside the commission's meeting on a frigid morning.
Cabbies holding signs saying 'Respect' and 'Justice' chanted and marched into One Judiciary Square with the intention of voicing their complaints about a slew of new regulations designed to improve the customer experience in taxis: mandates for credit card acceptance, new dome lights, and a new red-and-gray color scheme -- all of which drivers say is costing them money.
But meeting almost immediately deteriorated into a confrontation. Cab drivers repeatedly ignored Chairman Linton's warning to not applaud, boo, or debate as drivers took turns addressing the commissioners. Teamsters Local 922 president Ferline Buie also addressed the panel.
"It is no longer business as usual in the Washington, D.C. area," Buie said. "We are united. We are powerful, and we are strong." The room exploded into sustained applause as cabbies rose from the seats, and it became clear Linton's admonishments would fail to calm drivers' pent up emotions.
The chairman fruitlessly pounded his gavel, and was forced to speak over the sound of protesting taxi drivers and Teamsters shouting into a megaphone right outside the building's exit doors, their chants of 'Shame on you!!' bleeding into the exit room.
The cabbies were further agitated when Linton denied drivers an opportunity to speak unless they had submitted a written copy of their remarks ahead of time. Commissioner Paul Cohn explained the commissioners cannot understand the heavy accents of some foreign born cabbies, so the written copy was necessary to follow along.
Many complaints
Hundreds of the District's approximate 8,500 cab drivers have experienced a variety of problems since installing credit card payment devices in their vehicles, from late payment deposits to glitches with equipment. On Wednesday, the drivers called to the meeting by the Teamsters blasted the taxicab commission for — in their view — restricting their choice to a field of eight credit card-processing companies, one of which has since gone out of business.
Chairman Linton responded that the commission simply gave taxi companies what they wanted, after the Contract Appeals Board ruled the process that ended in a $35 million contract awarding the entire D.C. cab fleet to Verifone had "pervasive improprieties." Once the Verifone bid was shot down, the commission opened the process to competition among vendors.
After the meeting, Linton seemed unfazed by the all the shouting and confrontation.
"I would assume what it accomplished was a sense of getting out of their system whatever is bottled up in there and being able to yell at the commission," said Linton after the cabbies exited the meeting room.
Still watching Hitch
The D.C.-based tech startup Hitch has its credit card payment processing system installed in the backseats of about 1,600 cabs, but is not allowed to sign up any more drivers under a restriction imposed by the D.C. Taxicab Commission.
Linton said Hitch is still being scrutinized after complaints' by drivers that their fares were not being deposited into their bank accounts within the required one business day of the transaction.
"They are not meeting what we require them to meet. That's what's wrong. Why they are not meeting it is for the technical experts that we have sent over there to find out," Linton said.
The taxicab commission is fining Hitch $6,000 for failing to pay drivers, but in an interview with WAMU 88.5, the company's CEO David Miller said the fines are being appealed and the District is "unjustly" restricting his operations.
"We only had nine complaints out of 1,800 drivers so it is really less than half of one-percent of our driver base," Miller said. "I don't think that our company or any other company should be limited from being able to compete in the marketplace."
Miller said his lawyers have submitted a four-page legal argument in a bid to lift the restriction on signing up drivers.
"It's a material hardship for our fleet partners as well as a lot of the drivers that are unhappy with other [payment service providers] who would like to join Hitch," Miller said. "So it's not only a hardship for us, but it is a hardship for other drivers in the marketplace who have been disappointed in their [payment service provider] and want to join us, as well as our fleet partners who have additional cars they'd like to install with us."
Drivers' complaints have targeted other companies. U.S.A. Motors collapsed within weeks of installing its credit card system in more than 900 taxis, leaving those drivers scrambling to find another system in order to keep their vehicles on the road.
The French company Gleike Taximeters has also drawn the ire of cabbies who say the firm's technology — installed in more than 700 taxis — frequently fails, and its officials are close to impossible to contact. Gleike is suing two Washington cab companies, Grand Cab and Diamond Cab, for breach of contract.

Carlos Pena, who joined the 30-home run club for the first time of his career after blasting two homers in the Tampa Bay Devil Rays' 7-4 series-clinching victory over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday afternoon, is a leading candidate to win the 2007 American League Comeback Player of the Year Award.
After failing to make the Opening Day roster following a disappointing spring training, Pena has been Tampa Bay's top run producer all year. Through Sunday, Pena is second in the American League – trailing only Alex Rodriguez, who is leading all of Major League Baseball – with 30 home runs, becoming the third player in Tampa Bay franchise history to achieve the feat. He is also leading the Devil Rays with 83 RBIs. The left-handed hitting journeyman, who has bounced around six organizations since being selected by the Texas Rangers in the first round, 10th overall, of the 1998 draft, is also batting a robust .279 with a team-best .579 slugging percentage. Perhaps more impressively, though, he currently sits among the AL leaders with a plus-.1000 OPS.
Over the past two seasons, the slugging first baseman struggled – .239 batting average, 19 home runs, including only one homer with Boston last year, and 47 RBIs in 299 at bats. Before consecutive down seasons, however, the Haverhill, MA native was known for his tremendous power potential – from his collegiate days when he was a star at Northeastern University and the Most Valuable Player of the Cape Cod Baseball League in 1997, to an outstanding season with the Detroit Tigers in 2004, when he hit a previous career-best 27 homers. But during that season, he also struck out 146 times, and during 2005 and 2006, inconsistency, high strikeout totals and the failure to hit for a high batting average contributed to his inability to lock up a secure spot on a 25-man roster.
Pena, who was acquired by the Tigers along with starting pitcher Jeremy Bonderman in the Jeff Weaver deal midway through the 2002 season, was released by the Tigers during spring training in 2006. He spent two seasons as an everyday player for Detroit, but lost his position for good when Chris Shelton, who was demoted to Triple-A after the Tigers traded for veteran Sean Casey at the trade deadline in 2006, emerged as the organization's first baseman of the future … or so they thought.
In his last full season in the major leagues – with Detroit in 2005 – Pena hit .235 with 18 homers, 44 RBIs and a .477 slugging percentage in only 260 at bats over 79 games. Soon after his release from Detroit, he was then picked up by the New York Yankees, who sent the aging infielder to play for the Triple-A Columbus Clippers. In 105 games with the Clippers, he once again showcased his impressive power, belting 19 home runs and 66 RBIs in only 381 at-bats.
Shortly into his stint in the New York organization, Pena was picked up by his hometown Red Sox, who immediately shipped him to Triple-A Pawtucket. And soon after belting four more homers in the International League for the Baby Red Sox, he earned a September call-up to Boston. In a month-long audition at historic Fenway Park, Pena struggled – one homer, three RBIs – in 28 games, causing Boston to part ways with him this off season.
But just four homers away from a Tampa Bay single-season record, the minors now seem a thing of the past for Pena. People who believe that everything in life happens for a reason need to look no further than the latest chapter of the Carlos Pena story for proof (Also see, Rick Ankiel, or as painful as it might be for Tampa Bay fans, Josh Hamilton). Pena's non-roster invitation to spring training with the Devil Rays has led to one of the best comeback tales of the season – at least in the eyes, I hope, of people who live in Pinellas County. Unfortunately, Disney already played out the whole Devil Rays comeback story in the The Rookie. But perhaps there needs to be a sequel, starring Mr. Pena.
During the final week of March, he finished Grapefruit League play with a .255 batting average and four RBIs in 47 at bats. The end (of the beginning) of a once-promising baseball career seemed imminent. The 29-year-old, who along with Jorge Cantu, was one of the Devil Rays' final cuts during spring training, headed back to his home in Orlando to discuss what seemed to be a fading baseball future with his family (and agent, tragically for Andrew Friedman, it's Scott Boras).
But luckily for all parties involved – including Pena, the organization, possibly Disney (if only mainstream America knew who Pena was) and Tampa Bay fans – with the exception of Cantu and Triple-A Durham infielder Wes Bankston, a knee-injury forced expected starter Greg Norton to miss the first six weeks of the season. And, in the aftermath of Norton's injury, Pena received, perhaps the most important telephone call of his baseball career, earning an invitation back to historic(aly empty) Tropicana Field to fill the shoes of the numerous talented first basemen to don a Devil Rays' uniform before him – such as Huff, future Hall of Famer Fred McGriff, and yes, even Travis Lee, just playing. With an outstanding stage-five cling-on showing, Pena then locked up a permanent spot on the roster. The rest – a career high in dingers, a nomination as Tampa Bay's representative for the Hank Aaron Award, (soon enough) the club's Team MVP Award (Houston Astros infielder Ty Wigginton, no longer a Devil Ray, will hand down the green jacket)- is history. All in all, it was a storybook season.
Pena's statistics from 2004-2006:
Year TM G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS AVG
2004 Det 142 481 89 116 22 4 27 82 70 146 7 1 .338 .472 .810 .241
2005 Det 79 260 37 61 9 0 18 44 31 95 0 1 .325 .477 .802 .235
2006 Bos 18 33 3 9 2 0 1 3 4 10 0 0 .351 .424 .775 .273
Pena's statistics this season (where his fantasy value has risen faster than Cameron Maybin's path to the major leagues):
Year TM G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB CS OBP SLG OPS AVG
If you look at his full stats, you will be surprised to see that Pena, who became the fifth non-roster invitee to reach the 30-homer plateau in baseball history, actually averages 30 home runs over a full 162-game season.
The Other Candidates
Eric Gagne- Boston Red Sox
Gagne, who has battled a plethora of injuries since winning the National League Cy Young Award during a record-setting season with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2003, got off to a fantastic start to the season with the Texas Rangers. As Texas' closer, the flame-throwing right-hander, who saved 111 games from 2002-2003, converted 16 of 17 save opportunities, compiled a 2-0 record and recorded a diminutive 2.16 earned run average.
Why not?
In one of the biggest deals at the trade deadline – this side of Mark Teixiera – Gagne was shipped to the American League-leading Boston Red Sox. In 11 appearances with his new club, however, he's 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA and two blown saves, prompting hundreds of angry phone calls on the popular sports talk radio shows in Red Sox nation.
Jose Guillen- Seattle Mariners
The Mariners, hanging tough in a competitive American League West Division, are holding off the surging New York Yankees in an exciting Wild Card race. Guillen is perhaps one of the biggest reason why. Through Sunday, the talented outfielder is batting around .300 with 19 homers and 81 RBIs. Not bad for a guy who hit only .216 during an injury-plagued season with the Washington Nationals in '06.
Why not?
Guillen has been a monster for the Mariners down the stretch, arguably the most valuable player on that team. Right now, I cannot think of any legitimate reasons of why he shouldn't win the Comeback Player of the Year Award. Other than my Pena bias, I got nothing.
Sammy Sosa- Texas Rangers.
Solely because of the lack of Rangers coverage over the last week, I am sticking with the Texas theme here.
After a lackluster stint with the Baltimore Orioles, Slammin' Sammy and all of his home runs appeared to be fading into the baseball shadows – hiding in the dark steroid cloud hanging over Major League Baseball, alongside Mark McGwire. But Sosa, who has 16 homers, including historic number 600, and 72 RBIs, among Texas' team leaders in both statistical categories, so far this season, was obligated to return to baseball for one reason: to become the fifth player in big-league history to hit 600 bombs. Mission accomplished.
Why Not?
In order to give more playing time to several of the top outfield prospects in the Texas organization, though, Sosa's role with the club was recently diminished. Plus, in case you hadn't heard, Texas recently set the city of Baltimore on fire with 30 runs in a one-sided slugfest with the Orioles, but Sosa – also leading the team with 102 strikeouts – was forced to watch the offensive barrage from the bench, making himself about the only Ranger – Rusty Greer included – who didn't record a hit, score a run, or make a Baltimore relief pitcher cry.

We had a great time in Rome, which is also due to the central location of the apartment, of course. Everything nearby: breakfast bar, kiosk, supermarket and budget restaurants. Paula gave us passed de keys and provided us with good advice. Also a shuttle service organized for us. The apartment is clean and functional, not just modern, but that's what makes the charm. We have felt very comfortable and will definitely go back. Silvana, Dietmar and Marieluise from Germany.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Rom , was natürlich auch an der zentralen Lage der Wohnung liegt. Alles in unmittelbarer Nähe: Frühstücksbar, Kiosk, Supermarkt und günstige Restaurants. Paula hat uns de Schlüssel übergeben und uns mit guten Tipps versorgt. Auch einen Shuttle-Service hat Sie für uns organisiert. Die Wohnung ist sauber und zweckmässig , nicht gerade modern, aber genau das macht den Charme aus. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden gerne wieder kommen. Silvana, Dietmar und Marie Luise aus Deutschland.
Very stylish and well furnished apartment in the impressive Palazzo Altieri. Perfect location with the major sights of Rome within walking distance. Excellent for two people, two other residents sleep more easily. Something long, rich stair way through the Palazzo to the apartment. Landlords are very friendly and helpful, we would definitely come back!
Sehr stilvolle und gut eingerichtete Wohnung im eindrücklichen Palazzo Altieri. Perfekte Lage, mit den grossen Sehenswürdigkeiten von Rom in Gehdistanz. Ausgezeichnet geeignet für zwei Personen, zwei weitere Bewohner schlafen eher einfach. Etwas langer, treppenreicher Weg durch den Palazzo zur Wohnung. Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, wir kommen gerne wieder!
was a gracious host who greeted us with diligence and our doubts and questions resolved properly.
fue un anfitrión amable que nos atendió con diligencia y resolvió nuestras dudas y preguntas adecuadamente.
Fantastic apartment with perfect location!
Super friendly and helpful host.
Fantastisk lejlighed med perfekt beliggenhed!
Super venlig og hjælpsom vært.
Very nice stay in a beautiful flat well furnished. Perfect location, close to everything. We 've had a problem with flodding in the flat. it was solved fluently on a Sunday and did not disturb our stay at all.
Location is perfect! Very central with a lot of nice restaurants nearby, but still quiet. since it is located in a little street. Hosts are gentle and helpful.
We very much enjoyed our stay in Rome in Davide's appartment. A friendly and warm welcome, a nice, well equipped, clean and comfortable appartment in a very quiet street in the center of Rome, a splendid view from the superb terrace - what else would one need to feel like you are heaven on earth. We also appreciated Danieles' and Davide's precious help with transport from and to the airport.
The only minor drawback was the heating in the appartment which was not efficient enough for this time of the year.
we had an amazing time!! the appartment was PERFECT, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!
The location of this apartment is great: within 5 minutes you are at the Pantheon; hundreds of restaurants at your disposal, a bakery and supermarket and much more. The stairs are quiet tough (it feels like a 6th floor apartment). The balcony is really nice, however without a real view hence the satellite antenna's. Davide and his partner are really helpful, which was in our case necessary since the shower didn't provide warm water at one day and the wifi didn't worked. We enjoyed it all together!
Très bel appartement situé dans un quartier calme et agréable.
Alessia est une hôte parfaite, obligeante et attentive.
Merci à la personne qui nous a reçu et fait visiter l'appartement.
Nous avons passé une très bon séjour à Rome.

With less than three weeks remaining before they rocket toward the International Space Station (ISS), six astronauts are looking forward to climbing inside their Atlantis shuttle Thursday for a launch dress rehearsal at NASA's Florida spaceport.
Flight controllers began counting down toward a mock liftoff at 8:00 a.m. EDT (1200 GMT) today, with Atlantis' STS-115 commander Brent Jett and his crewmates eager to practice the final hours of their upcoming launch.
"We're looking forward to a good practice countdown tomorrow," Jett told reporters Wednesday at Atlantis' Pad 39B launch site at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Cape Canaveral.
Jett, STS-115 pilot Chris Ferguson and mission specialists Joseph Tanner, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Daniel Burbank and Steve MacLean - of the Canadian Space Agency - are going through a multi-day training session at KSC known as the Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test (TCDT). The session allows the astronauts, pad workers and flight controllers to practice flight and emergency escape procedures for the STS-115 crew's planned Aug. 27 launch.
During their mission, the STS-115 astronauts will deliver a 17-ton, two-segment addition for the space station's truss backbone, as well as a pair of new solar arrays to be installed on the orbital laboratory's port side.
"This mission marks the restart of the [ISS] assembly sequence," Jett said. "But it's just that, it's just one of the assembly missions we have to get done."
NASA plans about 15 shuttle flights to complete the ISS, where orbital construction has been stalled since late 2002 following the 2003 Columbia tragedy, before retiring the remaining three orbiters - Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour - in 2010.
With three planned spacewalks - two of them back-to-back - alongside shuttle heat shield inspections and the deployment of new solar panels outside the ISS, Atlantis' 11-day mission promises to be a challenging one for its astronaut crew.
"I think the most challenging thing for us on this flight is going to be our timeline," Jett said. "It's probably the most aggressive timeline that's been flown on the shuttle ever. We think we're ready for it, we've been training for it for four and a half years."
NASA managers have called the STS-115 mission the most challenging to date for the shuttle program, though subsequent flights are expected to only increase in complexity.
"Every crew likes to say that 'Boy this is one of the most complex missions that we've ever flown,'" Jett said. "They're all that way, and they will be that way until we stop flying in 2010."

Sometimes, anticipation can be more stressful than the actual event itself. I am not saying that such is the case for my girlfriend right now as she is presently going through her medical tests, but I have heard how her stress level has fluctuated over the last week while waiting for her tests to occur, and now to get the results. Tomorrow, at whatever time her appointment is, she will get the test results and will learn her next step (surgery or otherwise). The results at that point are presently unknown, but we shall just have to wait and see.
As for the anticipation part, I know that I run into the same problems. Before I met her parents, I was nervous about doing so. The anticipation was killing me and left me with butterflies in my stomach. However, I knew that once I actually met them, everything would be just fine. My intuition about things was completely correct. Once I met her parents, everything was fine. The butterflies went away AND I didn't make a fool out of myself. Just one example of the anticipation being substantially more nerve racking and stressful than the situation itself ever could be.
<rant> I hate EAS and find it to be a totally pointless class </rant>

Herald Rating: 3/5
Address: 1a Beach Front Lane, Browns Bay
We came here because I'd been here on a less-than-impressive previous visit and was curious to see whether a sunny day would improve things.
Parking was easy on the main drag and there are plenty of parking areas too.
We walked in and immediately thought the place was unassuming inside, but the cane chairs and tables outside in the sun were inviting.
The most unusual thing on the menu was as unassuming as the cafe, but all the basics were covered.
We ordered creamy mushrooms on toast ($8.90) with a side of bacon ($3.50) and the vegetarian breakfast of two eggs, grilled mushrooms, hash browns and corn fritters ($13.90), again with a side of bacon. Unfortunately neither was attractively presented, nor particularly memorable.
The service was friendly and helpful, but very slow.
The coffee was good enough.
We recommend if you come here make sure it's a sunny day when you can sit outside and soak up the sea view.
Overall we thought Spring Moon is in an enviable position and could do well to make more of this by offering more interesting fare.

OGDEN, Utah (October 11 2011) - The Big Sky Conference and Altitude Sports & Entertainment released its men's basketball schedule for the upcoming season. This year's slate includes eight regular-season games, as well as both semifinals from the 2012 Big Sky Conference Championship.
This is the fifth season Altitude Sports & Entertainment has televised a Big Sky Conference men's basketball game of the week. This year's regular-season schedule includes three Thursday, three Saturday, one Sunday and one Tuesday game. All nine Big Sky teams will appear once. Games will originate from six of the nine venues.
"We've teamed with Altitude to provide what should be some exciting men's basketball games once again,'' said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. "What makes this package great is the number of primetime Thursday night, Tuesday night, and Saturday afternoon start times. We thank Altitude for making this happen."
Defending Big Sky Conference champion Northern Colorado will appear three times. The Bears will play host to Eastern Washington on Saturday, Jan. 14, at 5 p.m. B.J. Hill's Bears will play at Weber State on Saturday, Feb. 4, at 5 p.m. Mountain. Last year when the teams met at Weber State in Ogden, Weber State's Scott Bamforth hit a half-court shot to win the game 72-71. Northern Colorado will play host to Montana State on Saturday, Feb. 11.
The package begins on Thursday, Jan. 5 when Montana State travels to Idaho State. The Bobcats are back on Altitude on Thursday, Jan. 19 when the Bobcats welcome Sacramento State to Bozeman.
Montana, which finished second in the Big Sky last season and figures to contend for the 2011-12 title with the likes of junior guard Will Cherry and senior forward Derek Selvig back in the fold, will appear in the "Game of the Week" three times. The Grizzlies will take on Portland State at the Stott Center on Sunday, Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. Mountain. The Grizzlies will play host Northern Arizona on Thursday, Feb. 23.
The final "Game of the Week" will air on the final night of the regular-season and could decide the regular-season conference champion as Montana and Weber State do battle in Missoula. Randy Rahe's Weber State Wildcats are expected to be the preseason favorite. The Wildcats return 2009-10 league MVP Damian Lillard, who missed most of last season with an injury. Also returning are All-Conference forward Kyle Bullinger, and Bamforth, an all-conference guard and the 2010-11 Big Sky Newcomer of the Year.
Altitude will also televise the semifinals of the championship on Tuesday, March 6. The regular-season champion will host those games.
The Big Sky women's basketball championship will also be televised by Altitude Sports & Entertainment on Saturday, March 10 at 5 p.m. Mountain.
Altitude is available within a 10-state territory of the Rocky Mountain Region, including Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Northern New Mexico, Northeast Nevada and Southwest South Dakota. The network is also available on Dish Network channel 410 and DirecTV channel 681.
Altitude and the Big Sky Conference will once again work to make the feeds available to local networks in Sacramento, Calif., Flagstaff, Ariz., Cheney, Wash., and Portland, Ore. For the past several years, Comcast Sports Net Northwest of Portland has televised nearly all of the Altitude telecasts.

With All The Need In The World, Why Isn't Everyone Starting a 501c3?
Have you ever wondered why more people aren't starting a 501c3? Since nonprofits are many times the entities in the world that do the greatest good, why are not more people involved with them? Many times when you hear a heartfelt story of something good that happened in the world, chances are a nonprofit is behind it. Then, why don't more people begin starting a 501c3 instead of working in the profit sector? Read on and I will share the reason.
Thousand around the world have great ideas and passion to do nonprofit work but many find that starting a 501c3 or finding a job in existing nonprofit is challenging. Finding work in existing nonprofits can be challenging simply because many nonprofits are underfunded. Those starting a 501c3 of their own are suddenly faced with three challenges that seem to dash their dreams. The biggest challenge is starting a 501c3 in an affordable manner, then learning to fund the nonprofit with a sustainable donor base, and gaining the knowledge for the continued successful operation of the nonprofit.
Starting a 501c3 Can Be Daunting
Starting a 501c3 from scratch can be a daunting task. In addition, information guiding an individual through the creation of a nonprofit is scarce. For many years after starting a nonprofit myself and having great success running it, friends, family and others repeatedly asked me for advice on how they too could easily start a nonprofit and and run it successfully.
I have concluded from years of helping individuals start a 501c3 of their own that many times the challenge of starting a 501c3 proves to be too difficult. Thus, fewer people start nonprofits simply because of the lack of help. That is a tragedy since the amount of work that is nonprofit related continues to grow at an alarming rate. Now more than ever are those drawn to nonprofit work needed.
Many become discouraged to quickly. From my own personal experience, when I tried to create anything worthwhile, I have been faced with challenges. I viewed the challenges as fuel to spur me on to success. Now when looking back at the challenges, at the good they created, they serve as constant reminders to never give up.
If something is important enough then nothing will deter a person's drive to succeed. Given the choice of creating something that is basically meaningless but yet easy to create, or starting a 501c3 that changes the world and is a monumental task, I will choose the latter every time.
Don't Lose Heart Starting a 501c3
Perhaps a fear of failure plague many who begin starting a 501c3 and are faced with challenges or influenced by non-supportive friends or colleagues. Disregard others if you want to change the world to be a better place. If you are one who is inspired to change the world through nonprofit work, I bid you join us in the quest. Nothing will thrill your soul more than helping those who cannot help themselves. There is quick and easy help in starting a 501c3 here on this web site I would enjoy helping you in starting a 501c3 that changes the world.
Steps to Starting a 501c3 with Independent 501c3 Status
Determine whether you are going to set up an Independent 501c3 or a Fiscally Sponsored Nonprofit
There is two basic ways when starting a 501c3 and before beginning you will need to choose a path. This article "Starting a Nonprofit on this site will give you a quick list of all the things you will need to do in setting up each. If you would like to learn more about setting up a Fiscally Sponsored nonprofit you can find a great more information in the navigation above. If you have decided you will be starting a 501c3 through the independent route follow the directions below.
Steps to Starting a 501c3 with Independent 501c3 Status
Steps to Starting a 501c3 that Is an Independent 501c3
1Create and File Your Articles of Incorporation
Creating and filing the Articles of Incorporation can be as simple as choosing a name, filling in a few fields online form and submitting the form with the filing fee. The most you will have to do if your state does not provide an online form is to create the Articles of Incorporation and then mail them along with the filing fee or delivering them by hand if you want your entity created the same day.
To find your Corporation Division in your state just go to here and find your state in the list. Go here http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=129028,00.html to find your State Corporation Division
Then click the link that says "State Nonprofit Corporation Filings"
You can draft Articles of Incorporation by using these examples
- http://fsnews.findlaw.com/firmsite/attachments/BE2_f_SampleArticlesofIncorporation.pdf
- http://www.lectlaw.com/forms/f164.htm
- http://www.irs.gov/charities/charitable/article/0,,id=123028,00.htm
2Apply for A Employer Identification Number (EIN)
Go here http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fss4.pdf to get the form to fill out to apply for an EIN
You can also read this page to understand the EIN and how to use it http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p1635.pdf, Publication 1635,Understanding Your EIN
3Set Up Your Bank Account
Once your Articles of Incorporation are filed and your Employer Identification Number (EIN) assigned, you can take a copy of those to your local bank and open a bank account.
Once you have Articles of Incorporation filed and an EIN, your entity is legal as a corporation.
CAUTION: There is a lot more you will need to do to establish the tax-exempt status but you have started a nonprofit in those few steps.
Other Key Documents
Once you get your Article of Incorporation filed, your EIN, and bank account established you are only a portion of the way to starting a 501c3 tax exempt nonprofit. You will want to work on Bylaws and eventually fill out and file the IRS 1023 form which will give your nonprofit tax exempt status. You can use the sample document below to create nonprofit bylaws.

The market needs the correction or deflating if you will. I hope that I don't get banned(if you look at half of my posts you'll understand) in the next 3 yrs, because I would like to revisit this thread and compare then/now.
This is swaying off the beaten path a little bit but; I heard a financial advisor talk about the unfunded liabilities (200+ trillion? - don't remember exactly). He said folks ask about that a lot. The question; "What are they (govt) going to do about the unfunded liabilities?" He said that's a no brainer, the answer; They're not going to pay it. The money won't be there. (me) Then the results of that (not paying) will be mighty ugly.
They were funded and still are by workers everyday.
used to be. not so anymore. not only are there not enough people paying it to keep it going, but there are many more people taking out that were ever intended. + the life span has gone up.
Will you argue the account isn't funded simply because those amounts do not match?
i get that the money is not physically there.
That's ok. Its not like they make this stuff easy to understand. It really does take digging and you did that. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk
Since we're talking about a stock bubble I thought this would be interesting. Here's a link to Market Watch. They have a chart that's superimposed over a chart prior to the 1929 crash.

"How To Lose Weight
With One Simple & Easy Plan"
If you are ready to lose weight and end your battle fighting sugar cravings, Stop-It™ is going to help you along..
As you've been told more times than you care to count, eating sugar is the culprit in weight gain and obesity. While we all know that's true, sugar is simply irresistible which is why there's an epidemic of obesity.
So, as conventional wisdom goes, control your sugar intake and you'll lose weight. Unfortunately, sugar is a substance whose addictive qualities rival heroin.
Yes, heroin. That's why it's an overwhelming struggle to lose weight.
Do you know what happens when you eat sugar treats?
First, your brain releases serotonin causing a positive reinforcement that you made the right decision eating that sugary delight.
You feel high and euphoric while simultaneously, your sugar levels spike causing your body to release massive amounts of insulin.
This burst of glucose is converted into more fat causing your body to store even more fat. After the initial sugar high wears off (rather quickly) you begin to slump and crash, your hunger spikes higher than before and the vicious cycle of sugar addiction is in full swing.
How can you lose weight while on this vicious cycle?
It's virtually impossible unless you go cold turkey on sugar and as we know, that's proved impossible for most people.
Enter Stop-It™ Your Pal in Weight Loss that Ends Sugar Cravings & AddictionStop Sugar Cravings
Since the day Stop-It™ was created, people have seen incredible weight loss and ended their sugar addiction and cravings once and for all. Read what people are saying here. One patient writes of losing 40 lbs! Results, of course, vary!
Heart surgeon, Dr. Robert Carlson, spent considerable time arriving at this unique combination after several years testing and experimenting. Stop-It™ is an all natural combination of 3 ingredients: Gymnema Sylvestre (herb known in Hindu as 'sugar destroyer) Erythritol (sugar substitute) with a dash of peppermint for taste.
These 3 ingredients work together synergistically to break the sugar cycle and when you eliminate sugar from your body, you'll shed pounds without struggling to end sugar cravings and addiction.
So how does Stop-It™ work?
Stop-It™ does 3 things – first, when you crunch 1 or 2 lozenges (instead of consuming a sugar treat) the natural sweet taste of Erythritol satisfies your craving for something sweet.
Secondly, Gymnema goes to work blocking your taste bud receptors. Simply said, within the next hour after chewing Stop-It™ should you lose will power and give in to anything sweet, that sugary delight will taste so repulsive with an almost chemical taste, you'll quickly spit it out!
To see the powerful effect of chewing on something sweet after taking Stop-It™ watch videos here.
Thirdly, and perhaps the most interesting is a negative feedback loop to your brain that a sugary treat you once loved tastes really bad. This negative feedback is quite powerful having a profound effect on your desire for that sweet again.
Stop-It™ can be used any time of day you crave sugar – breakfast, mid-afternoon slump, after dinner desert, before bed snack – just reach for Stop-It™ when cravings hit instead of a sugary treat and you'll soon break the sugar addiction cycle and shed pounds.
Lose Weight With Dr. Carlson's 14 Day Low Carbohydrate Diet Program With Stop-It™14 Day Weight Loss Program
To help you along even more, when you purchase Stop-It™ you'll receive Dr. Carlson's Sugar Detox Plan and his 14 Day Low Carbohydrate Diet Program absolutely free.
This is the same plan Dr. Carlson's patients follow for weight loss. By following this plan along with Stop-It™ you'll have a powerful combination that maximizes good health, stops sugar cravings and dramatically increases weight loss.
When you consume sugar, there's a huge release of serotonin that produces a feeling of euphoria which is why sugar gives such a rush. Serotonin spikes until the crash when serotonin levels tumble.
The resulting low serotonin levels produce an intense desire for more sugar and refined carbohydrates. Fatigue and depression follows with an even stronger desire for something sweet and you're hungry again – a really vicious cycle.
What's interesting is how quickly you'll begin to feel great from eliminating sugar and cutting down on carbohydrates. With each passing sugar-free day, your blood sugar levels stabilize; natural energy soars while irritability and edginess is replaced by a soothing calmness.
When weight loss begins and good health returns, you'll be telling everyone you know about your pal, Stop-It™ and how fabulous you feel.
For more information about how to take Stop-It™ click here.
If you're ready to lose weight, end your battle with sugar and get your health back, then Stop-It™ is for you.

Blossom or Hibernate? In Love and Work, When Is It Right To Start Anew?
Is it OK to blossom now? A question I ask myself every day and a question I imagine the trees and flowers are asking themselves now. March in Minnesota is usually snow-covered and grey-ish. But this year June temperatures showed up in bright green shorts and flip flops while our coat closets were still sporting black parkas and mukluks.
A walk through the woods reveals trees and plants in various stages of bloom confusion. I can relate.
I'm between my old and new life.
Stay Close to Home or Venture Out?
I'm at the mouth of the cave where I hibernated for years as a married woman with children and homemaking ambitions. A few steps outside the cave is me as a divorced woman with children and career ambitions. My old cave served its purpose and gave me shelter and protection for years. I love that cave. But it's time to wake up and move out.
So I'm stretching and pawing the ground. Looking for signs of life to guide me in this personal spring. Which direction are my children headed? What has their attention? How to move forward with their well-being in mind? I must lead them in the best direction for ultimate survival, where they can grow healthy and strong.
There's a fine line between their growth and mine. I am mindful of their needs and wants for closeness. I am mindful of my wants and needs to venture out. I need space to roam and gather sustenance, both financially and spiritually. They fight, fear and benefit from independence but don't know it. We are all in bloom confusion.
I take steps toward writing dreams but often the chill of reality and responsibility snuffs out all the growth I make. Will I be stuck in this bud stage forever?
I mistakenly thought growth was effortless. It's effortful. Every seedling must push through the soil…and sometimes the earth is cold and hard. Some days the struggle is all-consuming. It would be so easy to lay dormant.
Unlike nature, I have choices. I can strike out and struggle in search of my calling or I can carefully exist on what I have stored up. I've been existing carefully for years. I'm mysteriously drawn to the struggle.
I have choices in love too. Stay wrapped tight in my cocoon of self-love and awareness or bloom openly and generously with another. I'm satisfied with my single way of life. I'm not a loner but I flower in solitude. My brightest colors often appear when I am alone. Perhaps I should spend more time preparing for my debut.
Children and the cave keep me busy and nourished. Adding love to the mix seems ambitious. Still… the warmth of a loving gaze draws me out. What if love finds me, like sunshine finds green leaves? How can I not move toward it? Even if it arrives early.
What It Takes To Bloom Magnificently
Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
The patience of nature. Letting things unfold naturally. Paying attention to conditions. One moment of rain drenched heavens. One moment of sun soaked skies. I will bloom, blossom and grow. When the time is right. Every day.
What nutrients do you need to bloom fully? When was the last time you woke up and moved on? Are you immersed in self-love and/or growing with someone else?

"Are you immersed in self-love and/or growing with someone else?"
It's definitely not an either/or! I really like the emphasis you give in your writing to the benefits of 'uncoupling' and to having time and space to enjoy life as an individual. Personally I can't imagine ever wanting to be part of a 'couple' again, especially if it involved giving up my own home! However . . . I can see that for a lot of people it makes economic sense, and it usually makes sense if people want to start a family. The 'middle way' is surely to appreciate and enjoy good 'friendships' – in other words, to enjoy and to grow with not just "someone else" but with many others who share your interests, enthusiasms and needs. If it then turns out that you spend increasing amounts of time with certain people or with one other person – then so be it. Expanding the circle of friendship is surely one of life's joys, and one that tends not to happen to a lot of people who commit to coupledom and to living in nuclear families. But we all have to beware of being drawn into thinking dualistically and into assuming that the only viable states of being are either solitude or coupledom. GF

As a newly minted singleton I am definitely doing some "middling". I am enthusiastically embracing new friendships with kindred spirits but at the same time breathing deeply and lovingly in spacious solitude. I've never been more content. Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

Hi Brenna, like you, I'm looking out from the mouth of my cave.
I'm taking steps further from the cave nowadays, but always need to go back when I feel I maybe too far away. But, each day I take an extra step.

Tom – Keep taking those steps. I have a feeling we are on a similar extraordinary path. It takes courage to move away from the safe cave, but courage can lead to incredible.:)

Lakeside basketball: Part of a trend of forgoing students' futures
The Steve Ballmer crusade at Lakeside School to buy athletics success at the high school level leaves me feeling incredibly sad ["With Ballmer's aid, elite school pushed limits of prep-sports rules," Local News, Aug. 17]. As a society, we have corrupted so many of the ideals and institutions that create opportunities for individuals to better themselves.
As an academic surgeon at the UW, I have witnessed continued erosion of academic standards inMore

St. Gregory the Illuminator is the Patron Saint of the Armenian Church. He is referred to as "St. Gregory the Illuminator," or "Soorp Krikor Lousavorich" because he spread the light of Christ and converted the Armenian people to Christianity.
While Christianity was practiced in secret by a growing number of people in Armenia during the first and second centuries, it was St. Gregory (302-325) and King Trdat III (287-330) who in 301 A.D. officially proclaimed Christianity as the official religion of Armenia and thus made Armenia the first nation in world history to adopt Christianity as the state religion
The story according to the Holy Tradition is as follows: As part of a planned plot, the Persian King Ardashir I, sent a trusted friend, Anak, to Armenia, to kill King Khosrov. During a hunting trip, Anak killed the King and ran away. The loyal men of the King pursued Anak, who was subsequently killed. The dying King gave orders to exterminate Anak's family. Only one infant escaped this slaughter, and was rushed by his nurse to the city of Caesarea. This nurse happened to be a converted Christian. She brought up her charge in the Christian faith and gave him a Greek name, Gregory. St. Gregory became a devout Christian; married a Christian lady named Mariam, and had two children, Verthanes and Arsitakes.
When the Persian King heard that the King of Armenia was killed, he overran the country and established Persian rule in Armenia. Two of the children of King Khosrov were saved. The Princess Khosrovidought was taken to one of the inaccessible castles of the country, while Prince Trdat was taken to Rome. Trdat received a thorough Roman training. When he became a mature young man, able to rule a kingdom, he was sent by Rome to occupy Armenia, recover the throne of his father, and become a Roman ally.
As Trdat was returning to Armenia, most of the loyal Armenian feudal lords, who were in hiding, accompanied Trdat. St. Gregory also decided to go along with him. Nobody had any knowledge of his background or of his religious convictions. Trdat found out that St. Gregory was a well-educated, dependable and conscientious young man. He appointed him as his secretary.
After winning back Armenia, Trdat gave orders for a great and solemn celebration. During the festival, St. Gregory was ordered to lay wreaths before the statue of the goddess Mother Anahit, who was the most popular deity of the country. St. Gregory refused and confessed that he was a Christian. One of the king's ministers decided to reveal St. Gregory's secret. He told the King that St. Gregory was the son of Anak, the killer of his father King Khosrov. Trdat gave orders to torture St. Gregory. When St. Gregory stood fast, the King ordered him to be put to death by throwing him into a prison-pit (Khor Virab) in the town of Artashat to be starved to slow death.
Through divine intervention and with the assistance of someone in the Court, St. Gregory survived this terrible ordeal for thirteen years. It is thought the Princess Khosrovidought, the King's sister, had found a way to feed St. Gregory in the dungeon.
During that very year the king issued two edicts: the first ordered to arrest all the Christians in Armenia confiscating their property, the second ordered to put to death those who hid Christians. These edicts show how dangerous was Christianity for the State and for heathen religion in the country.
This undertaking of persecution revealed the presence of a group of women, who were peacefully and secretly living in the capital city of Vagharshapat. The Holy Tradition claims that a group of Roman Christian virgins ran away to the East in order to escape the persecutions of the Emperor Diocletianus. After visiting Jerusalem and paying tribute to the holy places, the virgins came to Edessa, then crossed the frontiers of Armenia and settled down in vineyards not far from Vagharshapat. The leader of these pious women was Gayanй. There was also among them a beautiful maiden called Hripsimй, who King Trdat wanted to have as his concubine. Hripsimй refused and resisted the King's advances and finally fled from the Palace. This was too much for King Trdat and he mercilessly ordered to have all the women killed. They were 32 in number. Gayaneў, the mentor of the virgins and two others living in the southern part of the town and a sick virgin were tormented in the vineyards. The execution of the Hripsimian virgins took place in 300/301. This slaughter of innocent women and his frustration at being rejected threw the King into melancholy and finally made him insane. He could not attend the affairs of the state. In the 5th century people called this "pig's illness", which is why sculptors portray the king with a pig's head.
His sister, Khosrovidukht, did everything to bring her brother back to his senses. Then one day in a dream, she saw St. Gregory coming out of the dungeon and healing her brother. She told the people at the Court of her dream, and revealed that he was alive. They sent men to the dungeon to bring him out. As he emerged, out came a man with a long beard, dirty clothes and darkened face. But his face was shining with a strange and strong light. He immediately gathered and buried the remains of the virgin-martyrs and thereafter preached the Gospel for a period of time and healed the King. Trdat III proclaimed Christianity as the state religion of Armenia after which the entire royal court was baptized. King Trdat was cured and became a new man. He said to St. Gregory: "Your God is my God, your religion is my religion." From that moment until their death they remained faithful friends and worked together, each in his own way, for the establishment of the Kingdom of God in Armenia.

Choose the type based on your needs
You can see the visionaire floor plan layouts when you want to choose one between some types that are offered. We are pretty sure that it is one of the things that will make you so frustrated to make a decision. It takes so many people a long time to choose the best type that is suitable for them; in addition to that, you need to make a list of your own needs and preferences as well if you want to live in a good condo.
There are well-designed condos as well as cozy designed condo that you can choose, each type comes with different facilities. Make sure you choose the type based on the number of people that are going to live with you. If you come with more people then you may choose Type C4 but if it is only for you and your partner, type B would fit the best.

"The package arrives on a Wednesday or Thursday and you have until Monday to try to on the clothes and whatever you don't want, you can return in a prepaid envelope. Easy-peasy! All that I paid at the time I placed my order was a $20 styling fee. The good news is if I decide to purchase something from my Fix, then the $20 will be applied to my order. There is no obligation for me to purchase anything from my Fix, but if I decide to send everything back, I will forfeit your deposit. $20 is not a bad price to pay, considering the shipping and returns are free. And if I buy everything in my Fix, I will receive a 25% on the total purchase."

"All in all I loved the experience of having my own personal shopper and getting clothes sent to my house. With my new responsibilities of being a Mom, it's rare that I have time to go out and shop anymore. The only downside is that you can't try things on for size before getting them but that's pretty much the same as if you bought something online. This time I decided to go out of my comfort zone a little a probably got too many dresses that I will probably only wear a few times, so next time I am going to go for some more every day pieces that are more my style."

This is such a neat idea! it's too bad they don't ship outside the USA. Great review, too.
Your article is really very informative to all people. i ll keep in mind your instructions when i shop clothing.

Four Important Criteria of a Merchandise Display Contest
Merchandise display contest is one of the fast ways to increase sale of a particular product line because of the attractiveness of the display and high visibility of the product in retail stores who are participating the contests.
It is a win-and-win marketing techniques because both retailer and suppliers benefits from the income of the merchandise. This technique is popular in Southeast Asia that use by well-known brands like Coca-cola, Pepsi and Nestle, and other brands in Asia like Tipco, Indofood and Double A.
Criteria for a Merchandise Display Contest
Commonly, the criteria for a supermarket display contest include the (1) quantity of merchandise, (2) location of the display, (3) props and materials and (4) creativity and relevance to the theme.
1. Quantity of Merchandise
The quantity of merchandise has oftentimes the biggest percentage in judging the display contest because this is where the suppliers and distributors can take advantage — to get more sales through bulk orders from the participating retailers.
2. Location of the Display
Next to the highest is the location of the display; the most preferable area is near the entrance where impulse buying usually happens.
Even the display is beautiful if it is not located in an area with higher visibility, the display would be less effective on generating good sales.
3. Creativity and Relevance to the Theme
A theme is usually the hottest topics that people talk about in your community, in the internet or by the world. Say for example in Brunei Darussalam, the Pepsi conducted a display contest in 2010 with a theme, "Strike your 2010 goal with Pepsi." The theme is base on the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa that was very hot during that time.
Along with Pepsi display contest in Brunei, the Milo also conducted a display contest which gives emphasis on Protomalt, which special malt the Milo contains, and the theme goes, "Protomalt: the energy within Milo."
In some cases, merchandise display contests have no unique theme aside from the unique selling proposition of the product itself.
Say for example in 2012, the Double A paper organized a product display contest but they did not provide a theme. The purpose of the contest is to provide product awareness – in which Double A paper have these seven unique and remarkable qualities of Double A Paper: (1) good runnability, (2) printing sharpness, (3) bright appearance, (4) excellent smoothness, (5) prolongs copier performance, (6) two-sided use and (7) longer storage period for documents.
What all the entrants need to do is to stick with the theme of the contest or to the objectives of the contest in able for them to win.
4. Props and Materials
The props and materials that are added to attract customers. Props are to be created or provided by participants and other POP materials will be given by the organiser of the contest.
The are contests which have separate scoring for props and materials, but more often, these are scored as part of the criterion number 3, Creativity and Relevance to the Theme.
Percentage of Each Criterion
The percentage of each criterion depends on the objectives of the organizer of the contest, but the most common division of percentage are shown below.
- Quantity of Merchandise — 40%
- Location of the Display — 30%
- Creativity and Relevance to the Theme — 30%
- Quantity of Merchandise — 30%
- Location of the Display — 30%
- Creativity and Relevance to the Theme — 20%
- Props and materials / Duration of Display — 20%
Thank you for reading. Godspeed!

Decadent and delicious, these no-bake Buckeye Graham Crackers are sweet peanut butter buckeye filling slathered on a graham cracker, and covered in semi-sweet chocolate!
Two separate ideas collided to result in this Buckeye Graham Crackers recipe. Indulge me as I tell you about how these came to be. Then, you go indulge! Make some of these Buckeye Graham Crackers. 🙂
A few weeks ago, leading up to the BCS National Championship Game, since the Ohio State Buckeyes were playing, it got me thinking about Buckeyes…. the candy, that is. Peanut butter is always at the forefront of my mind, and I'm always looking for new ways to incorporate it into a life that is already pretty saturated by the nutty stuff, but eating it 3x a day from a spoon isn't enough. Nope, gotta cram it in in every way possible! So while I'm not suggesting that I rooted for Ohio State to win the game (Sorry! It goes against my core football beliefs!), I was nevertheless inspired to revisit classic Buckeyes to see if I could spin a new twist on them!
So that was Part 1 of the evolution of this idea.
Part 2:
When I'm not eating peanut butter straight from a spoon, I will sometimes spread it on a graham cracker. Do other people do this? I love it as a quick snack. Peanut butter and graham crackers are such a great pair. Graham crackers have a honey-like essence to them that I think is a perfect complement to PB! I also love the contrast of creamy peanut butter with a crunchy graham cracker. With that in mind, I decided that I wanted to combine Buckeyes and graham crackers.
I loved the idea of taking my basic snack of PB on a graham cracker, but making it unhealthy. No, wait. I didn't mean to say that. I meant… making it an indulgent candy! Yes, that. Sounds much better. Pretend I didn't say unhealthy. Forget that even came up.
I am in loooove with these Buckeye Graham Crackers. They have the same traditional Buckeye elements with peanut butter candy filling and a coating of smooth chocolate, but with a crunchy and sweet graham cracker base. And for good measure, a drizzle of melted peanut butter chips, which adds a nice decorative touch too. 😉
I also really like that they're flat so they can be eaten like a cookie. The format is just… fun.
I fought the urge to take this idea a step further by stuffing a melted marshmallow in-between two of these. Is that going too far? If you really want to get bonkers, you could definitely do that. Live on the edge. It'll be worth it.

A colleague of mine had the same problem. It turned out that there are two versions of -gam- available: one from STB, and one from SSC (which is more recent). We have deleted the already installed gam-files, and installed the SSC version. After that, everything worked fine. You can get the SSC version by typing: -ssc desc gam- and then -ssc get gam- Alternatively, you can manually download the files from here: http://ideas.repec.org/c/boc/bocode/s428701.html good luck!

Stormrise Mission 3 walkthrough
ok, someone here helped me 1k this game and they're having trouble with the solo campaign because the controls suck so bad and mission 3 sucks so I figured I'd try to help them out.
If I had a vid capture device, I'd upload a walkthrough for the game. But I'll have to make due with what I have.
a few basic things YOU NEED TO KNOW playing stormrise:
A: This by far is the most annoying thing about Stormrise. This happens sometimes and isn't just but . The reason for it is that little yellow crosshair you move around the screen? Units you spawn will MOVE TO WHERE IT IS ON THE SCREEN WHEN YOU PRESS (A). In other words, it behaves the same way as if you selected a unit and are telling them where to go.
This is why dudes you just recruited run across the map and die like idiots. No the game doesn't tell you this. Yes it should. And yes, its inconsistant. And now that you know, now you know how to make it not happen anymore.
Tip: on a spawnpoint, you can move your cursor over a far away node or friendly unit icon while you buy units and they'll run over there once they spawn. It saves time and is really handy on certain missions.
Ordering around troops:
whipselect: don't use it if you can't help it. It is the WORST THING EVER. Never use it if you want to move around troops efficiently. Instead of using whipselect (more like wimpselect) to tell units what to do, DO ONE THE FOLLOWING:
from a unit you have selected (preferably your commander in a safe place), move your cursor over a unit you want to move and push (X). A big ugly yellow arrow will appear. Move the arrow where you want your unit to go/attack and push (A). USE THIS WHEN YOU WANT TO ATTACK SOMETHING WITH A BUNCH OF UNITS
select a unit, tell it where to go normally and while they're moving to position, move your cursor over other units and start spamming (Y). This tells other units to "COME HERE" to where you are.
other tips:
always group up 3 units if you can.
most missions are very linear and the AI is dumb as hell where it will obsess over controlling a node. So win by leapfroging your forces between nodes, and rallying them there as you build more as you push further into enemy territory.
keeping these things in mind enable you to play this POS because the tutorial doesn't tell you how to play this game RIGHT. Knowing how to move around your units without fighting the whipselect garbage is 90% of the game right there.

I'd rather use a video cap device to record how to beat the mission, but I don't have one Hopefully I can give a good explanation here.
Chances are if you gave Stormrise a shot, the game went Mission 1: boring tutorial. Mission 2: easy. Mission 3: OMG hard, these controls suck, this game is garbage, I hate you, Sega sucks, die in a fire, eat a dong....
This is a guide to try and help people out with the third mission. If you can stick out Mission 3 and beat it, you can beat the game. Trust me. I'm one of the 2 people to 1k Stormrise and mission 3 of campaign is one of the tougher ones.
Ok, first off read the OP (original post) so you get a better idea on how to play Stormrise. DO NOT USE WHIP SELECT. DON'T USE IT! BAD! STOPPIT!
Mission 3 is pretty easy once you know how to move your troops around the battlefield.
- make 6 to 9 snipers and group them up (select one, hold (LB) + push (A)). Use them to fortify nodes only.
- everything else: footsoldiers. Group them all up (select one, hold (LB) + push (A))
notes: the enemy chokepoint on the map acts as a sort of conveyor belt for enemy forces + they'll send a steady stream of forces from there.
hopefully you can make sense of this map:
ok, your initial goal is to build as many foot soldiers as you can and put them all into groups of 3.
Send all the footsoldiers you have to take over all enemy nodes up until you reach the first choke point. Once you have it secured.
build up your turrets/nodes. Make getting more resource a priority. While waiting on those to build up, build 1 group of 3 snipers and have them hang out at the check point. They should do a good job of zapping enemies.
mission 3 is very linear. the first choke point acts as a sort of fork in the road. Going right will lead you to the main enemy forces. Left leads to a dead end with a few nodes and minimal resistance. Take a few groups of foot soldiers and use them to clear out that left area to take out the few enemies + take over nodes. You don't need to defend them, once the enemies are gone on that side, they shouldn't come back. Once you have what you need, send your forces back to choke point 1.
hang back a little and build up your forces. Make sure you have at least 2 groups of 3 snipers and a bunch of foot soldiers. If you're uncertain, have 9 snipers + make footsoldiers until you can't make anymore.
Spam the footsoldiers towards the spawn node marked on the map. Some of them might get zapped by the enemy controlled choke point 2 node, but its worth it because that spawn node is super important. Once you have it
The node you just took over, buy the spawn for it. If you have lots of footsoldiers left over from the assault, direct them to take over choke point 2. If not, use this spawn to make a bunch more. Make sure you have your snipers close by!
Spam your footsolders at the choke point 2 node to take it over. Once its taken over, MOVE YOUR SNIPERS UP to the position in this picture:
hopefully you can make sense of the pic. Ahead of the chokepoint 2 node is an outcropping. You can put your snipers in that area and they SHOULD be able to weaken/kill the steady stream of enemies without being shot at. You'll know if you've gone too far if they start taking damage. If they do reload your last checkpoint. Once you found a good place for your snipers, begin buliding up chokepoint 2's shields + turret (in that order).
select the nearby spawn. Move your cursor over the chokepoint 2 node + build all the footsoldiers you can. Begin grouping them all up into 3's. Once they're all out + grouped up, select your commander and move him to a position where you can see all your footsoldiers and the enemy node.
Move the yellow cursor over your units, push (X), and then move that big ugly yellow arrow that appears to point at the enemy choke point node. Do that with all your footsoldier units as fast as you can!
If all the footsoldiers died and didn't do anything (you stink): reload your save
If you didn't take the node but destroyed the enemy turret on it: GOOD!
If you took the node, but the enemy took it back. GOOD!
that turret was a major obstacle + destroying it should have broken their back.
begin building and sending groups of 3 footsoldiers to that node as fast as you can + send your snipers over there.
Once you have the enemy chokepoint well inhand
The rest of the mission should be real easy at that point.
Hope this helped!
