Forsaken Fortress - New Alpha Footage
With three days to run and $81k of $100k on the board, Forsaken Fortress has kicked up a new pre-Alpha gameplay video:
More information.
Hmmm, the base options actually look pretty elaborate and fun. Still not so sure about combat though. I might chip in after all if they are in need of a final hours boost.
I broke down and backed this one. I'm such a sucker for Kickstarters. :p
Agreed. Base building looks interesting. Combat not so much….but maybe not so terrible, either. I guess I'll see now. Looks like they'll probably make their goal.
Yeah, looks like they'll make it: $91k with 2 days to go,
$75 for a boxed version is kinda pricey though.
Their latest update shows a tremendous amount of ambition.
They aim at an economically viable game universe, which is the most difficult thing to go for. A must read and a must keep at hands'reach to remember when the game is released.
They should skip on combat tactics. Only try to provide a good, solid reliable combat with a good outcome prediction value for both the PC and the NPCs.
The developpment of traits acquired through interactions with the gaming world is already enough to keep them busy until 2013, October.
With what they've just added about their goals, it is going to be an extreme work load.
they've made it. They've made it.
Told ya! :)
They unlocked the free play mode. Another thing to keep at hands' reach.
End of 2013 and following will be interesting.

Video: Steel Panther Debut New Song, "Glory Hole," in Australia
Below, check out a fan-filmed video of Steel Panther performing a brand-new song, "Glory Hole," for the first time ever.
The video was filmed at the band's show in Brisbane, Australia, earlier this week. The track will be on their new album, All You Can Eat, which will be released in early 2014.
The song starts off with the line, "There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance" — and it gets more, um, interesting from there.

text: EastEnders spoilers: big autumn storylines revealed Alfie plays with fire, Ben returns, Phil seeks revenge on Sharon, and a pregnant Ronnie makes her comeback ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW By David Brown Friday 5 September 2014 at 12:01AM EastEnders has released details of its big September storylines, which will feature an explosion on Albert Square, a wedding and the return of two Mitchells. Executive producer Dominic Treadwell-Collins is promising that the lives of some of Walford's most iconic characters will be changed forever as Alfie turns into an arsonist, Ben makes a comeback in the run-up to Phil's wedding, while Ronnie resurfaces complete with pregnancy bump. Said Treadwell-Collins: "Bombs that we have been carefully planting over the last few months are about to explode all over the Square as some of our most iconic characters' lives change forever." Alfie's (Shane Richie) actions will see him damage the family home in the hope of claiming on the insurance as he finds himself at his lowest ebb. However, as soon as Alfie realises that the house isn't empty, he rushes home just as an unexpected explosion rips through the building. As Alfie charges inside, it seems his reckless decision will have far-reaching consequences that he never expected. Over at the Mitchells, there's plenty of skulduggery as Phil (Steve McFadden) realises that Sharon (Letitia Dean) has been planning to fleece him. He sets in motion a plan to seek revenge and finds that old flame Shirley (Linda Henry) is happy to slip back into his life and help him. But the return of Ben (now played by newcomer Harry Reid) will complicate matters even further as Phil and Sharon prepare to get married. Will anyone end up saying 'I do'? Finally, there's the reappearance of Ronnie Mitchell (Samantha Womack), who's adamant that she's only back to stop Phil from marrying Sharon. But the fact that she's also expecting a baby must surely be playing a part in her return? Will she reveal all when she comes face to face with Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett), the man with whom she had a brief fling before her hasty exit earlier this year? "With huge twists, shock returns and stories which will move, provoke and entertain, this September is going to be classic EastEnders and an unforgettable start to our autumn," added show boss Treadwell-Collins. continue reading

Secrets Of The Male Shopper
A couple of years ago, you couldn't escape the metrosexual. He was everywhere, with his Paul Smith pinstripes, $100 haircuts, and chemical tan. This character became so much a part of the zeitgeist that some regular guys began wondering if they were metrosexual. He seemed hip and urban. Women, it was said, loved him because he smelled good and knew gabardine from twill. And if a man wasn't a metrosexual, he risked being tagged as the metro's alter ego: the retrosexual, a guy's guy who wouldn't be caught dead wearing chartreuse.
In the Age of the Metrosexual, mission shopping (know what I want, know where to get it) was out. A visit to Barneys (BNNY ) or Nordstrom (JWN ) became an indulgence in style. On cable, ratings soared as the Fab Five of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy repurposed the style-challenged as hip and urbane. Condé Nast Publications jumped in with Cargo, a shopping magazine (of all things) for men. From the image factories of Madison Avenue came a slew of ads aimed at the new, preening male shopper. And the folks in white lab coats got busy cooking up lotions and potions with names like Nivea for Men Revitalizing Eye Relief Q10.
Slide Show >>
Now Madison Ave has turned on the metrosexual. Why? Because he's half the man he was cracked up to be. Not only is this archetype too feminine for most men, he's also pretty rare -- maybe one- fifth of the U.S. male population, according to a recent study by Leo Burnett Worldwide Inc. As for the retrosexual, star of the sophomoric beer ad, he's not that common either. Put all the metros and retros together, and they probably add up to fewer than two in every five men, says Leo Burnett.
Slide Show >>
So who is the elusive man in the middle of the two extremes? Truth is, marketers are only beginning to understand the secrets of the male shopper. It stands to reason that just as women break down into subsectors, so do men. By targeting just the metro and the retro, Mad Ave has been ignoring half the male population. Largely forgotten are the millions of boomer dads, who shop a lot more than their fathers or grandfathers ever did. Also often overlooked is the army of men in their 20s and 30s who care about their appearance but still like to drink beer and watch sports. The male teen is another big shopper, a sophisticated consumer with the Web research skills to give him an outsize say in family purchases. We don't hear a lot about him, either. (Our guide to these forgotten guys and their metro and retro brethren is above.)
Quiz >>
The challenge will be reaching these men and moving beyond the heavy focus on the extremes. "Men are portrayed in a buffoonish, sophomoric way or as sensitive, feminized men," says Erv Frederick, who heads the Miller Lite brand. "The bulk are somewhere in the middle, and those are men who haven't been spoken to." No lie. According to Leo Burnett, 79% of American men say they can barely recognize themselves in advertisements.
The creation of the metro was supposed to rectify that problem by speaking to a generation of men who have taken on many traditional female roles and, yes, buy a lot of things -- diapers, skin creams, vacuum cleaners -- that women have long shopped for. Consider the explosion in male grooming, where sales of men-only products surged 14% in 1995, according to NPD Group. And in recent years, the average growth in men's apparel sales has held steady at nearly 5.5%, in some years even outpacing the growth in sales of women's clothing.
With the metro losing his mojo, marketers and researchers are now scrambling to come up with a more nuanced view of the male consumer. And a range of companies are going after men as never before. KB Home (KB ) is building townhouses for single men. Adidas Group (ADDDY ) and Coca-Cola Co. (KO ) are stepping up their efforts to win over teen males. And Dyson, maker of the revolutionary British vacuum cleaner, is a hit with boomer dads.
It's a big switch. After all, men have been a marketing afterthought for more than a century. Starting in the late 1800s, when Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan began teaching generations of women how to be Type A wives and mothers, brand managers painted a giant bull's-eye on the female consumer. They've taken relentless aim ever since. "'He makes. She buys:' That's the calculation that turned women into shoppers and men into providers," says James B. Twitchell, who teaches English and advertising at the University of Florida.
And if it's confusing trying to sell stuff to men, that's partly because many guys are confused, too. Society has changed a lot, blurring notions of gender identity. Not only have women asserted themselves at work and at home since the 1960s, but bastions of male bonding -- the barbershop, golf club, U.S. Army -- have largely become unisex, a shrinking of the male habitat that Twitchell highlights in his book, Where Men Hide. Women are acting more like men. And men are acting more like women.
Of course, large swaths of maledom remain defiantly macho. But younger men -- those in their 20s and 30s -- grew up in a world where women held increasing sway. With nearly half of all U.S. marriages failing, many of these guys were raised by a single mom. Growing up under her roof, it's only natural that they would adopt more of her traits, interests, and habits than their predecessors. "Men under 35 shop more like their sisters than their fathers and grandfathers," says Wendy Liebmann, president of WSL Strategic Retail. "They shop the same kinds of places. They're not just in and out fast, but are people who like to browse, use shopping as a community experience."
That's why Madison Avenue so fervently embraced the metro in late 2003. Where did he come from? Like many fashion-forward individuals, the metro was born in Britain. Author Mark Simpson, the self-described "skinhead Oscar Wilde," coined the term in the mid-'90s to describe a new breed of consumer-narcissist. A flattering appellation it wasn't. By the time the metro surfaced in the U.S. 10 years later, he was a much more appealing character. In four months, the metro went from the subject of an offbeat New York Times story to a cultural phenomenon worthy of his own South Park episode. Oh yes, and he acquired the feminine persona we've become familiar with.
As the South Park creators knew instinctively, the metro was ripe for satire and snickers. For many straight men, the handle has gay overtones. For macho dudes, it spells s-i-s-s-y. And even guys comfortable with their inner female are loath to call themselves metrosexual. Consider Mick Malisic. The 32-year-old marketing director is happy to spend $1,500 for a made-to-measure suit and hang out at the Ralph Lauren shop in Palo Alto, Calif., for 90-minute fittings. When we caught up with him, he had five pairs of $500 slacks on order. But talk about a reluctant metro. "If I look from the outside," he says, "I guess I'd be [one]."
However imperfect, the metro label reflects real changes in male shopping behavior. Yes, it's true that Cargo closed earlier this year, and Queer Eye has suffered a ratings meltdown. But don't read too much into that. The '90s, after all, produced the lad mags FHM, Maxim, and Stuff. These publications are the guy variant of Good Housekeeping and Vogue. They have provided macho camouflage for men to shop without taking abuse from buddies.
The August issue of Men's Health magazine (motto: "Tons of Useful Stuff") tells a tale. Two in every five editorial pages hype brand-name products -- dietary supplements, clothes, cameras, tortilla chips, grills. That's on top of 100 pages of old-fashioned ad copy aimed at separating the reader from his paycheck. The message seems to be hitting. A study commissioned by GQ found that 84% of men said they purchase their own clothes, compared with 65% four years ago. And 52% of retailers surveyed said their typical male customer shopped at a store at least once a month, up from 10% in 2001.
Nowhere have marketers gone after men more assiduously than in the grooming business. This is a natural fit since men have long used aftershave and cologne (perfume, by another name). Moisturizers and skin creams are a small step beyond the male comfort zone. And in many cases, these products are marketed under the health and fitness label. Finally, brands such as Axe have employed a tactic that has worked down the ages: We promise that if you use this product, women will find you more desirable. Not only are grooming sales up sharply, but companies are expected to roll out 800 new men-only products in 2006, according to consulting firm Datamonitor, up from 459 four years ago.
Pirooz Sarshar and Michael Gilman have ridden the grooming wave. Eight years ago, and with just $5,000, the duo started a men's skin-care business. Today they're doing $4 million a year at two Grooming Lounges in the D.C. area and by selling products over the Web. A typical customer: Greg Gary, who works in sales at recruiting firm Spherion and has regular manicures and pedicures. Gary, 35, felt out of place in unisex spas and salons. Not at the Grooming Lounge. "Alcohol -- and ESPN on television," he exults. "What more could you ask for?"
Yet even in a category that has become acceptable to many men, it pays to understand that guys don't necessarily respond to the come-ons or products that get women swiping their plastic. Metros may be susceptible, but men like Jonas Wanning, a 29-year-old real estate executive who lives in New York, worry about venturing too far into girl territory.
Wanning is what we've chosen to call a modern male. He's picky about his skin cream, uses Crest Whitestrips three times a week, and is contemplating a facial. Like many guys of his generation, he is used to sharing the stage with women. They tend to pay attention to their appearance, so men have to, as well. "The better you look, the further you get out there," he says. But Wanning is still a guy's guy. He plays baseball on Sundays and covets a Ducati motorcycle. Wanning recently got his first manicure, but it was a little nerve-racking, truth be told, because the nail shop had a big plate glass window.
The evolution in how men shop and what they shop for goes far beyond the shave and haircut. Men are marrying later, and once hitched they're breaking the old rules. The single male home buyer has traditionally been all but ignored by builders obsessed with married couples and single women. But at the new KB Home development in Cary, N.C., a townhome designed by Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. is expressly outfitted for single men. With dark wood cabinets, black granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, it has a big kitchen and oversize dining room. Gray walls, a doublewide shower in the master bedroom rather than a bath, and a higher-than-average sink all nod to the guy they're trying to attract. Of the 28 homes sold since the June 24 grand opening, 11 went to single men.
Thanks to the two-career household and fathers' increasing interest in raising their kids, men are putting in their two cents when it comes to buying for them. The makers of the high-concept Bugaboo stroller deliberately went after dads, designing a black-and-chrome contraption with a set of tires that wouldn't be out of place on a dirt bike. No kids or tear-jerking moments in Bugaboo International's ads. They focus on engineering and design.
For companies that see all men as potential customers, it's a trick to find a way to speak to the metro, retro, and everyone in between. A safe bet is to play to a guy's inner geek. That's what Dyson did. Its ads focus on the vacuum cleaner's revolutionary technology, while the machine's see-through collection module takes in-store demonstrations to a whole new level. Before Dyson entered the U.S., men barely registered in this category. Today, says the company, 40% of its customers are men, and its machine is the No. 1 vacuum in the land.
For topics even less compelling to men than vacuuming, humor helps. Not exactly the old locker-room variety, but something with a bit more irony. In May, Philips Norelco launched a campaign for the Bodygroom, a $35 electric shaver designed to remove hair "below the neck." One can only imagine the squirming that went on at Philips' buttoned-down Stamford (Conn.) headquarters about how to, um, position this product.
Ad agency Tribal DDB created a Web site (shaveeverywhere.com) where a guy dressed in a white bathrobe describes the surprising uses to which Bodygroom can be put. Naughty words are bleeped as pieces of fruit resembling certain male body parts pop onto the screen. The clincher: the promise of an "extra optical inch." Guys loved it. Visitors spent 6 1/2 minutes on the site on average and madly forwarded it to friends. For eight weeks following its May 2 launch, the shaver was No. 1 on Amazon's health and personal care category.
Not that the locker room should be off-limits. Every social revolution begets a backlash, and the unisexing of society is no different. For companies targeting regular guys, pandering to the retro can be highly effective. That's what Burger King (BKC ) did recently with its "Manthem" TV spot, featuring an average Joe spoofing the Helen Reddy classic I Am Woman. Likewise, Procter & Gamble Co. (PG ) has repositioned its Old Spice brand as Old Spice High Endurance (and all that that implies). Its site features a woman in a bikini with the tagline: "When she sweats she's sexy. When you sweat, you stink."
For many men, modern life has stoked nostalgia for their own place -- a boys' club, if you will. Smart businesspeople are catering to that urge. One is Joe Grondin, founder of Roosters, a chain of barber shops based in Round Rock, Tex. At Roosters, the plasma TVs are set to the game, the armchairs are leather, and the beers are in the fridge. "Men want a place to go for themselves," says Grondin, by way of explaining how the number of Roosters franchises has doubled to 15 since this time last year. "We got in touch with our feminine side and learned to cry, and women burned their bras. Now we're back in the same place. We haven't been on this planet for millions of years without deciding who guys are and who girls are."
Clearly selling to today's man is a confounding undertaking. But wait till his grandsons, sons, or kid brothers start tossing their disposable incomes around. Today's teen males are little like their forebears. At first glance, Dexter Driscoll seems like a typical 14-year-old. He swims and runs cross country, listens to the pop band Fall Out Boy, and cherishes classic horror movies. But he's no conformist. Driscoll, the son of a financial adviser in Plymouth, Mass., has no need to fit in. He varies his look depending on his mood: preppy one day, boot-cut Levis and T-shirt the next. He is levelheaded and self-assured. Driscoll is what Teen Research Unlimited Inc. calls the maturiteen. These kids are more savvy, responsible, and pragmatic than previous cohorts, thanks in part to their boomer parents' tendency to treat them as equals.
It goes without saying that teens have mastered technology. Many picked up their first mouse as toddlers. As a result, says Janice Lee, co-founder of teen researcher Look-Look Inc., it's not at all uncommon for teenagers to conduct the Web research on big family purchases such as cars and electronics. Conservatively speaking, teen boys in the U.S. spend something like $100 billion each year, but their informal role as in-house shopping consultant amplifies their impact.
Another thing: The interactivity of the Web has fostered in them a radical view of brands. They simply don't assign ownership of those brands to the companies that created them. Take a look at YouTube or MySpace.com (NWS ) to see the rip-offs of ads for everything from the Army to Apple (AAPL ) computers. "You have to be able to let go," says Kevin George, who runs the $400 million US Axe bodyspray business for parent Unilever Group. "It's about creating products people want to interact with rather than flashing a 30-second spot in front of them."
The more these teens can alter what they're buying, the happier they are. One of the most popular brands with male teens today is Adidas. The sneaker maker's in-store events, where kids can decorate their own shoes, is a sign the company gets it. T-shirt Web store Threadless.com is among the top five sites with teen males, who like the designs but also embrace its democratic ethos. Over 300,000 registered users design, review, and buy the T-shirts, which are produced in limited runs of 1,000.
Big brands don't have the luxury of being built communally from the ground up, but it's especially important for them not to fake their way into acceptance with teens. A recent Coke Zero commercial featuring singers performing on an urban rooftop did O.K. with young men. But it tanked with some teens who found it phony, says Look-Look's Lee. A recent Pepto-Bismol commercial starring breakdancers...well, let's not even go there.
It's going to take most marketers a while to get their minds around this generation's activist approach to consumption, but they're working on it. With 70 million echo boomers in their teens and early 20s, they'd be dumb not to. The metrosexual forced a fresh look at just who the male consumer is, and that will help marketers suss out the next generation. They may have rushed too fast to embrace that self-obsessed guy from Britain, but he taught them there's more to the modern man than a beer-chugging sports nut. Thanks to the metrosexual, marketing to men will never be the same.

Is this kit compatible with the SainSmart Duemilanove (It is an Arduino Board with ATmega328 microcontroller). Or would I need anything extra to make it work?
No, it's just a Reader.
Hi, from the layout of the SainSmart Duemilanove we can see that all the pins are same as what it has on Arduino Duemilanove. So it is compatible.
Hello, could you please verify which version of the base shield comes with this kit (v1.2 or v1.3), especially since you no longer individually sell the v1.2 base shield?
Hi there, actually it is can read only in 125Mhz card. So it is depend your microchip.
Now the version of base shield is v1.2.Although v1.2 has shut down,but we have some in store.We would sell the new one after the older one sold out.
Hi, does this kit come with V1.2 or V1.3 Base Shield?
No, it is for 5V.
Hi,may it brings a V1.2 Base Shield with it.
Hi there, I am wondering are the cables that come with this starter kit compatible with the ports on the LiPo rider? Search your site as much as I can, I can't tell if the JST 3 cables mentioned on LiPo Rider are compatible with Groove. Thanks!
Yes, it is include.
Dear Russell.You'd better use Grove universal 4pin cable,because they'll all be used most of the time,and sometimes only 3 pins are needed, and jst 3 cables will be enough.
My first question is about choosing Seeeduino V3.0 (Atmega 328P) or Seeeduino Mega with this starter kit.
I will be a newbie with seeduino, but I will need to access seeduino via Web (using your Wifi Shield) to get and set values to sensors and LEDs
No product for RFID antenna yet. But you can try another one to work with it, if you can share your result at our form that would be helpful.
Thank you for your response. I will need to access seeduino via Web (using Wifi Shield) to get and set values to sensors and LEDs via HTTP (may I use REST or similar as I do with my Flyport? Wiki information is not enough for me at this point:
I wonder if the grove above card is compatible with new Arduino UNO because it has two GND, 5v between pin and the VIN.
2.54mm pitch buckled connector?
It's compatible.
Free shipping on your first order over $50 or more. Discounted items included!

Aug 1, 2010 Comments Off on and that's a score
and that's a score
Miu miu really nailed it! Same dress in 4 (four) magazine covers in just 2 months. That's what I call a magnificent PR team. The yellow wool flower appliqué dress from Miu Miu's Fall/Winter 2010-2011 Campaign, was a complete Ad success. The guardian popped the news and since then controversy has been growing. Good news -for Miu Miu- is that the dress was featured in 2 different colors, Vogue UK and W magazine in yellow, while Elle Sweden & Elle UK were consistent with the lilac. W magazine was the trend setter as they released the dress on the July issue. Quite odd that 2 Elle magazines will feature the same dress in the same color, the same month. Usually things like that hardly occur as each international edition have its own regional editor-in-chief trying to create a compelling cover for their own markets.
Wore in the above picture by the American Model Lindsey Wixson on the oficial Miu Miu F/W Campaign. Below is Eva Mendes wearings the tangerine version on W magazine and Freja Beha Erichsen models the same one on the cover of UK Vogue.
Eye just called the LA store and the dress is not available in US stores yet. Fans will have to wait at least 3 weeks to get it. How much it will cost? The store representative said: "Not that much between $2,000 – $3,000".
We could actually play, who wore it best? Lily Allen (UK Elle), Eva Mendes in the yellow version (W magazine), Freja Beha Erichsen (British Vogue) or Mona Johannesson (Elle Sweden)?

District attorney debate sparks frustration
D.A. Zellerbach originally withdrew from debate
RIVERSIDE, Calif. - Tensions continue to rise in the race for Riverside county district attorney. Two days after Riverside County District Attorney Paul Zellerbach withdrew from a scheduled debate with his opponent Mike Hestrin, Zellerbach decided to participate Friday morning. According to the D.A.'s staff, Zellerbach submitted a letter to the Riverside County Bar Association explaining his decision to bow out of the debate. The letter was never made available to the public. The debate was held by the Riverside County Bar Association.
Zellerbach's initial decision to withdraw from the debate came a week after he allegedly pulled down campaign signs belonging to Hestrin in the June 3 primary election. In an interview after the debate, Zellerbach was asked more questions about his tampering with signs. "If someone comes up to your front yard and places a campaign sign in your front yard, that's not authorized, what are you going to do as a homeowner?" said Zellerbach. "You're going to take it out and remove it, and that's what I did, thank you."
Zellerbach then cut off the interview. Before he walked away, he addressed the ongoing investigation surrounding videos showing him pulling out campaign signs of Hestrin's in Indio last week. "I did silly things, I probably shouldn't have done, but they certainly weren't criminal," said Zellerbach. "And I apologized for that, but no one's perfect." Zellerbach cut the county a $203 personal check Friday as reimbursement for the miles he put on a county-owned Ford Escape that he was supposed to be using for official business in the Coachella Valley, rather than toting around campaign paraphernalia.
Law enforcement sources have told CNS that the D.A. could -- provided
there's sufficient evidence -- potentially face charges ranging from
misdemeanor vandalism for tampering with the signs to felony theft of public funds for misusing a county vehicle and engaging in political activity on the county's dime.
We were not allowed to record audio of video of the hour and a half debate between the two men. A moderator asked the candidates several questions including alternative sentencing programs, plea bargaining, the death penalty and a huge issue in this election, Assembly Bill 109, the state's public safety realignment plan. "Finding local solutions for the problem of prison realignment that was forced upon us is the job of the district attorney, he hasn't come up with any solutions," said Hestrin.
"It's been a disaster in Riverside County unfortunately," said Zellerbach. "We've had to release a lot of prisoners early unfortunately and that undermines the integrity of the entire justice system."
While answering questions about other issues, the common theme of the debate became Hestrin criticizing Zellerbach's policies and calling him dishonest. He called the last four years a "let down," and accuses Zellerbach of "cutting corners and taking the easy way out." "His campaign literature talks about conviction rates that have been discredited, he refuses to talk to the public on where he's getting those numbers," said Hestrin.
In response, Zellerbach wants voters to focus on the difference in experience between him and his challenger. He touted his ability to decrease the county's backlog of case and increasing the county's conviction rate. "I have 36 years of experience both as a prosecutor as a supervising DA for 15 years, a superior court judge for 11 years, all things Mr. Hestrin has never done," said Zellerbach.

Hi everybody, I've just found this website where you can have just about anything done for $5. It is such a great site and thought I'd share with you.
Just have a look, hope it will be helpful to you. :lol:
That's a great site. Very entertaining. Some of the offers are wacky, and some generic, but many are very creative. I just gathered three new ideas for promoting my business from the first two pages.
What would you guys do for $5?
Hmm this is cool! I will sell my 10 colorful marbles for $5:D, still have 10 left though for another $5:D
This site is doing amazingly well. I have thought about hiring someone myself to see what they've got to offer.
Sounds like. I will have a fun if you pay me $5.
Hm this one can be useful for non native english speaking people wanting to get into video marketing http://www.fiverr.com/users/abctvads/gigs/do-a-short-video-testimonial-of-your-business
This is just one of the examples of turning one simple idea into a web traffic magnet. Nice sharing.
Maybe there could be a $5 category on 99designs or something...
There is already some spamming in the comments<snip/>

Active Traders
The best way to understand active trading is to differentiate it from buy-and-hold investing, which is based on the belief that a good investment will be profitable in the long term.
A buy-and-hold investor ignores day-to-day market fluctuations and is indifferent to short-term investing for two main reasons:
- He or she believes any momentary effects of the markets are really minor compared to the long-term average
- Short-term movements are nearly impossible to predict
Profile of an Active Trader
Active traders, however, see an average long-term return, not as an insurmountable standard, but as a run-of-the-mill expectation. To exceed the standard, or outperform the market, active traders believe they must look for the profit potential in the market's temporary trends, which means trying to perceive a trend as it begins and to predict where it will go in the near future.
Active Traders and Timing the Market
For active traders, the importance of the market's short-term volatility is magnified these market movements offer opportunity for gains. Their style determines the time-frame for looking at trends. Some look for these within the span of a few months, some within a few weeks, and some within a few hours. Traders who analyse a shorter time-frame will be more active, and thus execute more trades. The more a trader strives to buy and sell at the extremes, the more aggressive and risky is his or her strategy.
Avoiding Losses
Maximizing returns or outperforming the market isn't just about reaping profits; it's also about avoiding losses. Active traders will look for any signs that the security may take a turn for the worse. With this in mind, they try to time their exit the investment and seek profits elsewhere. Long-term traders, on the other hand, stay invested in the security if they have confidence in its value, even though it experiences a downward shift the buy-and-hold investor will tolerate some losses that the active trader believes are possible to avoid.

Amazon's Prime Instant Video Greenlights 'Zombieland' Original Series Pilot
Reported by Outsiders - 2013.03.25
Amazon Studios, the original movie and series production arm of Amazon.com, today announced it will add cult classic Zombieland to the line-up of pilots already in production for Prime Instant Video. Zombieland, which is the seventh comedy pilot added to Amazon's pilot line-up, will be made available (along with the other six comedy pilots and six children's pilots) for free on Amazon Instant Video and LOVEFiLM UK. Customers are invited to view the pilots and then review them on the site; customer feedback will help determine which of the 13 pilots Amazon Studios will make into full-season productions, to air on Prime Instant Video.
"Zombieland is a fan favorite and we can't wait to see where this story line goes in a serialized format," said Roy Price, Director of Amazon Studios. "We've been announcing a lot of exciting exclusive content for Prime Instant Video, like Downton Abbey, Under the Dome, and Justified, and we think adding original shows to that lineup is going to make Prime even more enticing for customers."
Zombieland is based on the hit Columbia Pictures movie of the same name, and finds four survivors outwitting zombies and searching for a place to call home. The Zombieland pilot comes from the feature film's original creative team, writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Joe Schmo Show), and producer Gavin Polone (Gilmore Girls, Curb Your Enthusiasm). Eli Craig (Tucker and Dale vs. Evil) is directing the pilot.
The part of Tallahassee will be played by Kirk Ward (The Island), Maiara Walsh (Desperate Housewives, Switched at Birth) is cast as Wichita, Tyler Ross (Milkshake) will play Columbus, and Izabela Vidovic has the role of Little Rock.
"Zombieland will strive to break the rules - action, adventure, thrills, chills and laughs and all packed into a half hour format," said creator Paul Wernick. "This is not your average show but Amazon is not your average network."

After years of sun tanning my skin looked and felt like it needed a refresh. I researched this site and was so scared with the negative reports and horror stories ( pictures ) I was about to cancel my appoinment yesterday. I was a nervous wreck but decided to go anyways.
The medical technician doing the procedure explained what I would be experiencing. I was numbed with gel for one hour and was very frozen.
There was virtually no pain at all during the fraxel tx. I walked out slightly swollen and pink and today I am just a bit swollen still. Let's see what I look like by Monday. I have 3 to 5 more treatments booked.
Hopefully this works because I am tired of spending money on gimmic creams that promise smoother skin.

The explosion took place 815 meters below the surface at the Severnaya mine in Makeevka town when a large amount of methane gas was ignited, said the State Service for Emergencies.
Seven people were found dead at the scene, while nine injured workers were taken to local hospitals with burns, the authorities added.
Operations at the mine have been suspended, and an investigation is under way.

Additional Features:
*ClimaSense is a propriety fabric technology formulated to adapt to an active body's changing physiology. A number of factors influence the skins surface temperature. Key among them are the outside weather conditions and the activity level. ClimaSense is engineered to recognize an individual's need to warm up or cool down. When you are cold the fiber structure reacts by contracting to trap air and create heat. When you are hot, the fiber structure expands to allow heat and moisture vapor to escape. The result is a perfect "inner climate" balance to keep you comfortable in all conditions. ClimaSense is proud to be bluesign approved.

Pentastar Oil filter
Can someone who has picked one of these up from the dealer, tell me what you paid for one? I am looking at some on ebay.
Part number 68079744AA.
Also, has anyone seen any aftermarket pentastar filters yet? What's the general consensus on the quality of the Mopar filter?
I'm getting the parts together to do a full syn oil change.
Re: Pentastar Oil filter
For now I think we're stuck with the Mopar filter, but I don't know why it wouldn't be decent quality.
Re: Pentastar Oil filter
At a Canadian dealer the cost was $15 for one filter including all taxes. No doubt way too much, but that's dealers for you. On the day I was dropping $50k Cdn on a new vehicle why quibble? :)
But here are two online links with much better prices (sometimes sold in 3-packs):
Re: Pentastar Oil filter
Thank you.
Re: Pentastar Oil filter
MSRP is $7.75 for part number 68079744AA.
MoparOnlineParts.com has it for $6.20 plus shipping.

Less open space within the hive putting the stores closer to the winter cluster.5. Each frame still holds as much honey as any frame in a 10 frame hive.6. The savings on medical bills from strained backs is important, the conversion to all 8 frame mediums pays for itself in futher reduced medical bills.

As the Masters approaches, Jim Nantz has a predictable interview in Golf Magazine. He says that the tournament is bigger than Tiger Woods, so of course it will be as big as ever regardless of whether the world's greatest golfer is there.
Nantz also addresses the top of his divorce last year, and how it was a little painful to be the guy whose private life was getting discusses and written about. Says Nantz:
"I feel like the whole thing was so misrepresented . . . It's really hard to believe what came out publicly and how salacious it sounded. It left me feeling really distrustful of everything I read or hear. I heard people I'm close to speculating on the radio about the divorce and ridiculing and laughing about some things that were written that just weren't true. I thought, 'Gosh, you know me better than that. I would never do that. How could you do this? Where is the sensitivity?'"

I am taking a leaf out of coalescent's book and doing these on a monthly basis now. Films listed here.
#1 The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
I devoured this in a day. However, as well as being highly readable, it is also highly manipulative. I recommend this piece by Abigail Nussbaum which compares the novel to The Knife Of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness.
#2 Going Postal by Terry Pratchett (read by Tony Robinson)
I listened to this in the car on a particularly tedious journey and it was a life saver. I am not massively keen on the story itself though, it is very much late Pratchett.
The only other audio book I've listened to was The Colour Of Magic which Tony Robinson also narrated so I imagine he must have done the whole series which is quite impressive. I don't massively rate him though. His range is fairly limited and I'm not at all convinced by some of his voices.
#3 If Not Now, When? by Primo Levi
I found myself curiously unmoved by this.
#4 The Secret History Of Science Fiction, edited James Patrick Kelly and John Kessel
Reviewed for SF Site.
Oh, and I haven't forgotten about this.
