Fujioka dethrones WBA 115lb female champ Yamaguchi
By Joe Koizumi
Ex-WBC female 105-pound champ, unbeaten Japanese Naoko Fujioka (11-0, 6 KOs), 114.25, jumped up three classes and impressively captured the WBA 115-pound belt by pounding out an upset unanimous decision over defending titlist Naoko Yamaguchi (22-4-3, 18 KOs), 115, over ten hot rounds on Wednesday in Tokyo, Japan. Fujioka, 38, was an outstanding amateur champ and turned professional late at the age of thirty-four in 2009. Since then, she beat up everybody so convincingly that it became hard to find a suitable challenger with her WBC strawweight belt at stake. Fujioka made up her mind to have an ambitious crack at the WBA 115-pound belt against the champ and compatriot Yamaguchi.
The official tallies were as follows: Sugiyama and Yoshida both 97-92, Martin 98-91, all in favor of Fujioka, three years senior to the defending titlist Yamaguchi, who had been a prohibitive favorite. The referee was Kazunobu Asao. It was Fujioka that floored the champ with a flurry of punches in round three and kept her initiative nearly all the way.
Promoter: Shirai Gushiken Promotions.

The washer was identical to the washer on oil drain plug, so I figured some idiot before me, put it up there. With three opinions now, I'm taking it off. I was trying to get it off (to replace it), but needed to remove the small o-rings to slide it off. Not having a replacement for these small o-rings, I left on the washer. So, they also didn't have the small o-rings for the filter cover at the dealer. Don't these things get replaced?
...and manydubs, thanks for the tip about the oem. Was going to get graf, having just seen it recommended (through a search on this forum, I believe, so I'm glad to hear it's not worth the $15 savings or whatever.
...again, just today, parts guy said impeller (sp?) is plastic now. Need to do some research on that...damn!
I'm amazed but pleased to hear yours was fine at 122K. I've been feeling like I'm driving on borrowed time and don't want to have my car disabled while driving in the nether reaches of NJ!
So, question...did you do your waterpump from the top or bottom...did you remove the fan and/or shroud, or just fidget in there?
Thanks again...very nice to have a forum for me and my car!

By contrast, EVE takes a much smaller player base - perhaps 450,000 - but jams all these monkeys into one barrel, a barrel from which there is no escape - no 'other server' to flee to and begin anew. The learning curve in EVE might as well be vertical, despite all the efforts to make the game more newbie-friendly over the years; any sort of mistake usually results in you dying horribly and losing substantial assets, which are very limited when first playing the game. Additionally, more than any other MMO, EVE relies heavily on mathematics and spreadsheets in the player-run logistics and production aspects of the game. Given the violence, loss, and (horror of horrors) math, it is only a certain sort of of monkey who not only ascends the nightmarish and Darwinian learning curve, but finds the process entertaining enough to stick around and play for more than a week. So this is EVE, a galaxy filled with socially inept spreadsheet nerds on the one hand and obsessive, ambitious griefers on the other. Resources are limited and must be fought over, and the only way out is to quit entirely.
I like to say, "Life is not a zero-sum game."
EVE Online... is!

What is long term life insurance?
Long term life insurance refers to a term life insurance policy that is in effect for a long period of time, usually 15, 20 or 30 years. Term life insurance provides life… insurance protection for a specific number of years, usually 1-30 years. A short term life insurance policy may be 1-10 years. A long term life insurance policy may provide coverage for 15-30 or more years. Answer Do you mean a Life and Health product called Long Term CARE? If so, Long Term Care (LTC) coverage varies, but can pay for nursing home, hospice, home health care, "meals on wheels" type of assistance and other needs of the elderly or infirm. With the cost of nursing home care rising every year, it's wise to look into it. Your risks of having an auto claim are a little better than 1 in 200, a homeowners claim is even more remote, but one in two will be in a nursing home. Now that we're living longer, I expect these odds to worsen. I have this coverage, and the monthly premium is about the same cost as I can expect to pay DAILY once I'm in a nursing home. Also, young people who become ill or have tragic accidents are at risk as well, and the earlier you purchase it, the cheaper it is. Answer Term Life Insurance is in essence a temporary contract. This means that this type of insurance will expire after a specified term, usually between 10 to 30 years (though this can vary with individual providers). A long term life insurance policy is one with a coverage of 30 years. Unlike a whole life insurance policy, term life insurance does not accrue any cash value. Due to this, there are lower monthly premiums as you are in effect only paying for the 'pure' insurance, and not using this as an investment or savings. In the event of the insurer's death within the term, the death benefits can be claimed by the beneficiary. Since it offers high death benefits at inexpensive premiums, this type of policy is very popular. The main reasons for choosing a term life insurance policy would be to provide for your family in case of your death, to pay off any debts or mortgages, to cover funeral expenses and any estate taxes, to cover educational loans for your children, and to provide for an aging or retired spouse.

How tall and long is the Transamerica Pyramid?
It is 853 feet tall. . For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below this answer bo…x.
How long does a life insurance last?
It depends on nature of the product. Term insurance for example, lasts a stated period of years. You can select a product with the desired duration. There are also options per…taining to whether the face value of the policy remains the same or declines, and whether the premium (the periodic amount paid for coverage) remains level or increases as you age. A level premium policy generally costs more than one in which the premiums increase with age, but it provides additional predictability as to cost. People often buy term insurance when they are raising a family and the need for the greatest death benefits exist (to pay for the care of their family if the insured dies prematurely). It is relatively inexpensive (depending upon health factors) and can be purchased in many dollar increments (for example, $50,000, $100,000 and more) Term insurance is purchased to secure the death benefit, and will terminate if the premium is not paid. It does not accumulate cash value. Sometimes the analogy is made that term insurance amounts to "renting" the policy. The other major category of life insurance is "whole life", sometimes referred to as permanent insurance. Despite the term "permanent", it remains in force only as long as premiums are paid. However, unlike term insurance, part of each premium goes to slowly build "cash value", which is a store of value within the policy which becomes the property of the policy owner. There can reach a point in the life of the policy that premiums no longer have to be paid because enough cash value has accumulated to support the policy. As long as premium is paid, the policy becomes "fully paid up" at a specific point in time.
Is Monumental Life and Transamerica Life the same company?
Monumental life and Transamerica Lfie are not the same insurance companies; They both exist as companies under Aegon Financial umbrella. The way it was explained to me by a Tr…ansamerica / Monumental manager made it clear that in many ways it was the same, it appears they have a combined sales force and while the markets are separate they are careful not to step on each other toes. Monumental was positioned as lower income with some higher income and Transamerica as middle to high income. That Monumental was changing some of it's focus on home collections, trying to get away from them being the norm. With a refocus on new premium sales and a reduced emphasis on preventing lapses of accounts that require monthly in home collections. I was told that the compensation package had changed to reflect this. In my mind from an operational standpoint they were not same but very close cousins. It may depend on who you are and how it affects you, a consumer, agent, manager, stockholder for example. Maybe someone can add more that has better information.
In Insurance
How long do you have to claim life insurance?
Technically, you can take as long as you want. But it does you no good to wait because you only get the face value of the policy.
In Asian Cars
How long has Kia been in business?

Zurich Life Insurance has been a company since its founding in 1872 which is more than 140 ago. It is Switzerland's biggest insurer and the world's 79th largest public company… as of 2011.
What are some primary benefits of Transamerica Life Insurance?
Life insurance from Transamerica can provide two key benefits - a death benefit and a savings or investment benefit. The death benefit is well known and is simply a payment …to your designee if you die. However, there is also whole life insurance which is basically an investment with a minor death benefit added on. These have tax advantages but also high fees and so most folks advise buying "term (death benefit only) insurance and investing the difference."
How long has Pacific life insurance been in business?
The life insurance company Pacific Life has been in business since 1868. It was founded by Leland Stanford, the same man who founded Stanford University. It started in Sacrame…nto, California, though its headquarters today is in Newport Beach, California.

lost approximately 100 lbs
Tummy Tuck - Male - Minneapolis, MN
Lost approximately 100 lbs
Dr T and his staff are second to none. They placated me in meeting with me twice before I decided to go with the surgery (both free visits). After I was able to meet with one of his nurses and him I got sat down with his finance person who described to me the costs, options, etc. Everything was very up-front and there weren't any surprises. I'm only five months into having a full tummy tuck so I can't comment fully on the results as my stomach is still changing (which is a great thing). I can say that with my health history and expectations that I don't think there's another doctor in the state that could do the job he did. Great doctor, caring staff, good location, etc. Remember, you get what you pay for. He's a little more expensive but the results are worth it.

RoA: Blade of Destiny - Remake To Be Released in June
View Single Post
June 6th, 2013, 10:29
Just to demonstrate what I mean here:
(from 2:00 onwards for a few seconds).
While this dungeon is "A Cove", it does look exactly the same when being on a pirate ship or somewhere else. Most of the content is transported by text in this game. Will be lots of effort to transport all this into todays standards.
Or to put it in different words: You could say that if they put Shadows over Riva and Blade of Destiny into the same technology, so that they would look the same side by side, you would realize that Riva is not more of a fraction of what Blade of Destiny is.
But that is of course, because back then they didn't need to graphically visualize all the details and so it was easier to produce content.

To be a cutie nyan forever
To blossom on the cesspit of life.
The first of love is always life destructive.And one needs real time to pass awayBefore acknowledging that it was yet a love.
2. Piratia (Pirate King Online aka PK Online)
Humble graphics, rather rich gameplay with an attempt to introduce a trace of storyline.
Possibility to sail a ship, but without a chance to take other players onboard.
Very poor char customization system and even more horrific job distribution. A girl has no chance of being a swordman and a boy has no chance of being a cleric.
Hunter and voyager are the only unisex jobs.
Imbalanced gameplay. Lance fencer dominates making a horrific amount of damage with a skill that was designed to be weak and intended only to call the mobs. I.e. swordman became ranged AOE damage dealer far more advanced than hunter or mage.
Most chars can be blown out with one swing of sword. In addition this job can hide.The awkward journey to possess forgivenessTo poetry of bullies and rats
3. MicMac
A first in the world history 3D MMORPG with astonishing cute characters. Very good (for that time) char customization including hair and eyes color and face type. 2 genders, all chars are of the same age and height. Decent choice of jobs with decent possibilities for customization of build.
Small world - one town, 2 forposts and less than 10 maps.
Dungeons impossible to made solo at the reasonable level of char.The sudden burst of World SalvationEmitted from the hands of Guest
4. Asda Story
Direct sibling of the MicMac so all bonuses and maluces are the same.
In further patches the advanced craft system and system of titles vere introduced. Skills were subdued. Leveling was made hard. A week to 20 lvl even if it is not the first char of Yours. I mean a week to 20 lvl even if You hit 10 lvl in five minutes. Quests are choosen so so that You can not finish the current level only by questing. You need to take some bare grinding too. And the distance between the end of quests and the leveling up grows with level. The very end of quests hits You if memory serves me at 40 or 45 lvl. All further way up is bare munch.
Whisper to yourself.
Dance while nobody sees.
Dig to the center of Earth.
No social at all.The voice of crying kitten in the desert
Decent graphics, reasonable gameplay. Cute and friendly GM's.
Poor char customization - u can select only gender and the hair form and color. No face type, no eyes color, no age (height). In addition to this You can choose an animal u will morph to all the game long.
There are 6 races: birds, dragons, dogs, tigers, monkeys and bulls.
On the contrary to the expectations all animals have the same stats and differ only in the job selection possibilities.
Character models are rough and low poly, but still cute enough. However most of time You will spend in animal form and the beasts are modeled without any 'cuteness' kept in mind. The more correct word here would be 'handsome'.
Phantasm tower replaces all the locations in the sense of grinding and looting. Indeed You can stay in the main town without going anywhere and have all the bonuses and even more.
Dungeons are made for large groups of players. One can solo them only when (at least) 10 levels elder than needed.
However leveling is rather fast and affordable.
Very social game but the most impressive fact is that players really behave like social archetypes of their animals: taurus are stupid and bully, monkeys are bothering and unreliable, dragons are noble etc etc.
What causes this? Does the type of animal define the behaviour of player or just players with different tendencies choose their animals in accordance?The heaven should be like a kindergarten:The happy voices of a bunch of smiling kids
6. C9 (Cloud Nine)
Solo Cleric 35+
Cool graphics, advanced physics with jumping flying and swimming, exciting mob models especially that 'predator rabbit' hard leveling, poor char customization, very stupid subclass system social rights of players are very restricted until 40 lvl, but this 40 lvl may be not one month of hard grinding. rather easy dungeons - the first impression that: 'at last it is the game where You Can Do It', gradually interchanges with 'so slow leveling I've never seen before.
E extremely polite but very distant players.
Even PKers make excuses and give gifts to ones killed by them.
No social at all.The wonders of the unliving natureWill colorize adventurer's last days
7. Eden Eternal
Well developed graphics, cute chars, bruised a bit however.
Possibility to choose hair cut and hair color, face type and color of eyes. Possibility to change all this after on by means of an item mall coupon. 4 races: (human young)adults, (human)kids, frogs, mices
and bears. Only humans have genders. Other races are treated as 'male'.
Very affordable leveling. Affordable dungeons (in modern patches).
System of titles and rating. And the level is very unimportant thing to get high rating. The main affect on the char rating is from overall PK score (guild wars, arenas, free field duels) the next is achievements from raid and party dungeons. The level, crafting and questing give
almost nothing.
No physics at all. One can jump but it does not help to overcome obstacles. No swim, no flying. One of the most stupid subclass system. Not so idiotic as in C9 but still enough. Character outfit depends only to his job or to equipped (real money) IM items. Moreover the intrinsic outfits of jobs are somewhere between 'ugly' and 'freaky'. Kinda bearable appearance thieves and engineers have. Other jobs should rush to the item mall ASAP. It dims when compared with other races. Frogs are so perfect that one may vomit onto the monitor. Bears can frighten even their own players. Mices have broken legs (especially noticeable when alpacca riding). Human kids are rather cute but Altsgamer syndrome hasn't passed them well aside.
Society is very communicative, but not as friendly as one could expect.Your friends are dangerousThey form Your psycheRemember this if wanting to be free
8. Luna
Decent graphics, no physics. Cute cutier and most cute.
Real kindergarten with swings and whirligigs. Leveling is affordable, dungeons too.
Developed system of peacefull life including crafting, fishing, gardening and house-keeping.
3 races: humans elvens and darklings. All of them have genders.
Poor choice of character appearance and customization each race has a set of 3..5 hairtypes (strictly bound with color) and 3..5 faces (also strictly bound with color of eyes and mostly expressing emotions, not just type of faces)
Friendly society.The shine of dying world
9. ECO (Emil Chronicles Online)
No physichs, humble low poly graphics with no shaders...
Humble... But the art is done so that You will never notice the restriction of graphics. Appearance of that low poly models gives 100 points forward in comparison with most modern high tech games.
Characters are cute and the restriction of appearance selection is well compensated by the ingame means including beauty coupons.
Only one restriction - eyes color choice will correspond to race.
Titans have blue and green eyes, Emils (humans) have brown to gray eyes, Dominions have red yellow and violet ones. DEMs may choose any of colors.
4 races: Titans (angels), Dominions (Demons), Emils (humans) and DEMS (Demon Ex Machine - androids)
3 worlds: Titania, Dominion and Emil world. Dominion is PvP zone and has separate leveling system.
For those loving peacefull life there are a number of civil jobs like merchant, gardener, miner, etc etc. There are also quests of delivery and collect types, so one can level up and prosper without any kill.
Simple for a first glance gameplay system appears to be extremely complicated and deep if pay attention to details. E.g. 'posession' system - one character walking through the field may appear to be a group of up to six players. Why should swordman go with a cleric lurking around? Its much better to have that cleric bound to a brooche hanging on Your chest.
Extreme pet and vehicle system. Thousands of them with different properties and appearance. Special kind of pets - golems can even work while You are offline.
And yet the 'flying garden' - Your very own home and the ultimate vehicle to go around the world.
With all this beauty the game is quite tolerant to system resources and behaves almost without any glitches.
Leveling is rather hard and slow (as a payment to oldschool style) but not extremely.
May serve as an example of almost perfect game based on 'classic' MMORPG approach.
As the disadvantages one may point to absence of physics (no swimming, no jumping, no 'real' flying) and maybe the absence of the first person view possibilities.
Society is communicative and rather friendly.
It is a huge loss to the whole computer game culture that there no online official server has been left over the net. Only some private emulators try to fill this void but they are barely functional.

Job balance rating = 10/x
x - is "ratio of imbalance" - how many times character of the strongest job is stronger than the one of the most weak job, assuming that both are at the same level and have the top equip for that job and level.
On PvM it means 'how many weaklings are needed to pawn the same boss that stronger one kills solo'. And not 'how many times a hunter would die during boss hunting divided by the amount of knight's deaths' - the last term reflects mostly defence and stamina and does not take into account the attacking capabilities.
On PVP the criterion is even more simple and evident. x - is "frag" rato between weaklings and stronglings. Assumed that it is not 1 vs 1 duel (in such a case minor differences in balance tend to provide tremendous difference in score) but without any alliances.
Exotic jobs (like 'jobless' or 'supernovice') are not taken into account. Usually (but not always) the strongest ones are melee tank or damage dealer jobs (knights or assassins). The weakest ones are traditionally mages or, sometimes, 'civil' jobs.
Also You should mention that for a single person it is hard to penetrate into all tiny game details. So the rating appears to be subjective to some extent. One should take is like this:10 - amazing balance, everyone has their chance8 or higher - well balanced, good feeling4..7 - typical imbalance for a common online game3 or below - crying imbalance - bad feeling, oftenly causing people to quit playing the game.Character creation rating is an arythmetic sum of marks for the next features:
+1 - face selection (+2 if more than 10 faces available)
+1 - hair cut selection (+2 if more than 10 hairs available)
+1 - eyes color selection (+2 if independent from face selection or if there exist variants of most faces for different eye colors)
+1 - hair color selection (+2 if independent from hair cut selection or if there exist variants of most hair cuts for different hair colors)
+1 - race selection (+2 if all of them are cute)
+1 - stat build selection (+2 if it is usefull in the game)
+1 - for race independent constitution selection (tall/short, thin/fat, etc)
-1 - if no gender selection for one of races (-2 if for all races)
10 - uber mega kawaii9 - uber mega kawaii restricted by graphics and/or funding of art design8 - very cute but with some remarks6..7 - undercute, injuired kawaii, cute but damaged design4..5 - explicit tendency towards cuteness2..3 - can be imagined as cute0..1 - uncute
Kids - means possibility to alternate age (tallness) of the character from others. I.e. in Luna or Legend of Edda all characters modeled as little kids.
But if there are no elders, how can we distinguish them?
Undress rating. Paradox, but in many games one need to buy a "bare body suit" to be able to undress. The pants genetically grown with Your body give strange and a bit unpleasant sensation. This stresses up the irreality of the gameplay and forces user to be even more distant from his character.
It is understandable that the reverse extremity will tend to deal with the law regulations (And even here one should note that the toys industry for years produces dolls without any problems with the law. And without age restrictions.) but in most cases the case is not limited by mere pants - characters often are unable to put off their winter coat or pope robe or metal armour. Yes after several hours of playing You will get used to it and stop noticing, but the remark will be done already.
Undress rating is [just_ingame_rating]/[real_money_mall_rating]
Undress:10 - full undress (i.e. nude)9 - bikini8 - short panties/open swimsuit7 - short panties with top/open swimsuit with additions6 - long pants/swimsuit with closed belly5 - long shorts (to knees or longer)/full closed swimsuit2..4 - pajamas or light sportswear1 - suit glued to body0 - no skin visible other than face
Dress rating. Here most depends to one's tastes but... Lemme put some philosophy here. Most MMO designers twist themselves to invent most new and remarkable clothes. And yet - player looks into mall and feels like there's nothing to put on. The main problem of the designers is that they decide what to invent and not what they would wear. There exists three or four simple rules of success. And almost any of them appears to be ignored by designers.
Rule 1: Clothes must stress the beauty of the human body. (And keep its drawbacks away from eyes - but thanx Goodness the ingame bodies are perfect... well, intended to be.) Needless to say that in any case clothes must at least keep the human form. And what to say about numerous skeleton skully warrior dresses with hundreeds of bones and spikes. From a bit of distance they look like porcupine or hedgehog but not like even a humanoid.
Intended (probably) to inspire horror they appear to inspire nothing but perplexity and feeling of pity for their owners.
Rule 2: Clothes must follow their style. Simply, directly without extremities.Rule 3: Designer should care about how the model will look on the screen.
Many of the saturated with details suits are seen as blurred color spots.
All the work is in vain if user doesn't see it. Another mistake is lack of usefullness. Art designer makes some wonderfull suits but game designer sets some low stats on it and the suit becomes left in the warehouse being put on only for the screenshots.Rule 4: We're all humans. Generally we want to dress up stylish and beautifull.
But we all have some ideals, like favourite characters. Can You ever dress up as Neo from Matrix, as Dante from Devil May Cry, Sora from Kingdom Hearts, like Yuffie or Riku from Final Fantasy VII and X, like KOS-MOS from Xenosaga?
But very few of games offer the cosplay features of allow to dress up at least similarly. The next may be my very own opinion but I begin to hear the same fom others too: We are modern and free people. Now is XXI century. All those Victorian dresses do bother to death. And so do the old fashioned army uniforms.

Google's Trademark Tussle
It's vexing for a company to see its brand name disparaged. It can be downright infuriating when that brand is used to drum up business for a rival.
So some companies are up in arms over a practice by Google that lets advertisers use a competing brand name in efforts to attract customers. Google's opponents won a legal victory recently that could presage limits on how Internet companies use brand names to sell search-related ads.
On Apr. 3, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reinstated a suit filed by computer repair firm Rescuecom, which alleges that Google's practice of letting competitors bid for each others' names as search keywords infringes its trademark. Consumers who searched the term "Rescuecom" have been shown ads of rival computer repair companies.
The setback for Google (GOOG) highlights simmering questions about the rules of the road for advertisements linked to Internet search. At issue is the practice of letting marketers bid on and purchase the right to use trademarked names—even when those brands belong to a competitor—as part of online ad campaigns. Yahoo! (YHOO) is embroiled in similar litigation.
litigation spans the Atlantic
While businesses have flocked to place paid ads on Internet search pages, some have challenged Google's policy on trademarks. Around the globe, Google will block the use of trademarked terms in the actual text of a display ad if the trademark owner complains. In most of the world, even Google will also bar use of someone else's trademark as an unseen keyword to trigger an ad's display. But in the U.S.—as well as in Canada, Britain, and Ireland—Google's stated policy is to allow rivals to vie for each other's trademarked names or terms.
The approaches differ, explains Rose Hagan, Google's senior trademark attorney, because the law in many jurisdictions outside the U.S. is friendlier toward trademark owners. Still, the issue has spawned litigation on both sides of the Atlantic and the law remains unsettled.
The Rescuecom ruling merely allows the company's case against Google to go forward in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. To prevail, Rescuecom must still prove at trial that consumers will be confused if they are drawn to the Web sites of rivals. In an e-mail, Google spokesman Andrew Pederson said that Rescuecom's claims are "without merit." Adds Hagan: "We think consumers are smart and are not confused when they see ads running in response to a query."
Risk of "Scam Ads"?
As Internet search has become the arbiter of much of what consumers know and where they shop, concern has increased over how search engines choose what to present in both paid and unpaid listings. Advertising Age noted in March that big media companies are upset that in free searches for information on a topic, their expensively produced content often ends up buried under Wikipedia entries and Twitter tweets. The Associated Press has threatened to take legal action against sites that it says unlawfully reproduce large sections of its news stories. Frustrated by what it considers Google's tendency to point readers toward nonauthoritative information sources, the AP also plans its own news aggregation pages.
Like Rescuecom, a number of companies are unhappy that their own brands can be bought by others for the purpose of placing an ad on Google. Under Google's Adwords program, bidders agree to pay Google a certain amount each time a user clicks on an ad. A high bidder has a better chance of having its ads displayed more prominently than those that pay less, though Google does also consider how relevant the ad is to the search query. For instance, search "1800 Contacts," the name of an online retailer of contact lenses, and "sponsored links" that appear typically include many competitors that have outbid 1800 for its own name. That's particularly troublesome to a company whose online name is essentially its storefront. Says 1800's general counsel Joe Zeidner: "It's the same as if someone came and just plastered their sign over our store."
The lens retailer is a member of an organization called Alliance Against Bait & Click, which seeks to publicize what it says are the risks to consumers of "scam ads" that may land them at an unintended Web site. Other members include Delta's (DAL) Northwest Airlines and Marriott International (MAR), which are unhappy that searches for their names commonly generate ads for travel consolidators that can direct travelers to competitors. 1800 has also pushed for legislation in its home state of Utah to bar advertisers from using rivals' trademarks to trigger ads. Google and others, including Microsoft (MSFT), Time Warner's (TWX) AOL, and Yahoo, opposed the measure, which died in the state senate in March.
Yahoo bars use by competitors
Efforts by trademark holders to win redress in the courts have met with mixed results. Some cases have involved claims filed directly against Google or Yahoo. In others, a company has sued whomever purchased its trademarked term as a keyword. One thing a claimant must prove to win an infringement case is that its trademark was used in commerce without its permission. Courts have divided as to whether buying a keyword is such a "use" under the trademark statute. In the Apr. 6 Rescuecom ruling concluding that it was, the federal appeals court included an 18-page appendix discussing the question.
The law's uncertain state is reflected in the fact that Yahoo's trademark policy differs significantly from Google's. Yahoo permits advertisers to bid on search terms that are trademarks of others, and it allows these trademarked terms to appear in the text of an ad. But there's a huge exception: Competitors are not allowed to do this. American Airlines (AMR) sued Google and Yahoo for trademark infringement in 2007. It settled its suit with Google for undisclosed terms last year, but its case against Yahoo continues. Yahoo says its approach is a legitimate "fair use." A search of "American Airlines" on both sites currently yields no ads.
In Europe, keyword cases have also met with mixed results. Even though businesses there can ask Google to remove trademarked keywords, some have filed suit anyway, alleging violation of unfair-competition laws as well as trademark. They "feel like they don't need to go through our [complaint] procedure and they just sue us in court," Hagan says. Google is currently appealing a French court's 2006 award of €300,000 ($398,000) to LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton in an infringement case filed by the luxury goods company. Google has prevailed in similar cases in Germany, however, and courts in both countries have now asked Europe's highest tribunal, the European Court of Justice, to rule on the issue. A decision is likely by yearend.

GCCA Swap Meet - November 11th
Greater Chicago Cichlid Association is having a Swap Meet!

Best Western Plus
4400 Frontage Rd
Hillside, IL 60162
Entry fee:
$5 for everyone
Kids under 15 free with an Adult admission
For more info: click here
Bump since this is coming up in a month!
This is coming up next weekend already! Woot!
See ya in the parking lot at location #2.
I'm sure a majority of people already know about the Swap, but still bumping the thread for any stragglers
For anyone who is interested:
Vendor List and Vendor Layout
For anyone meeting up early for the parking lot swap, I am bringing the list of vendors and the layout as well so you can look it over prior to getting inside if you'd like. I already have my plan of action prepared! :bounce:
TOMORROW! :bounce:
will anyone be accepting credit cards up there
doubtful, bring cash
anyone there and back how was it? still trying to make it
You're missing out on all the good stuff :hihi: That's why i show up early
It was a good time. Quite a few plant vendors with good stuff. Shrimp guy is the bomb!
I have a quick question about this swap meet. I live about an hour, give or take depending on traffic, from where the meet is held. I have seen that these come around once in a while and think it would be neat to go to. So, this may be harder to answer, but is it worth the drive to go to this when another comes around? I would think I would need to bring a cooler to keep things warm and safe for a drive just in case. Thanks!
BTW, I have looked through the GCCA website and it is amazing that there is such a dedicated group of people with this hobby. Around me there is only saltwater clubs, and I'm all freshwater :(.
Today they had 2x 50G Metaframe tanks and also a 10G Metaframe. I wanted to take the 10G, but I had to walk away. Don't know where I would put it , plus I doubt the wife would be too happy either
I had to look up what a metaframe tank is, and they look amazing. Seems like something that would be fairly heavy, but would really be something different to have. That would be a hard tank to try and hide from your wife :).
Random question, has there ever been any botia sidthimunki (dwarf loach) there?
Anyway, thanks to both of you, this sounds like a nice meet to go to. Seems like a good place to meet some nice people too.

love the multiple endings
although i dont get why he had to set his house on fire to design this dream wanting to say goodbye to his mother, but then say it is time for him to wake up. i would have thought the ending where he did not want to wake up would be more suited for wanting to say goodbye to his mother.
Great, no need to say anything more...
But, once you are on top of **SPOILER** your job's building and enter the strange/nightmarish thingy mode, **END OF SPOILER** on the very start, top right, there is a corner missing, and the fog is wrong ^^ look that up :)
Pretty much played the game, read the reviews aftrwards and you've came up with something that everyone can relate to story wise.
Bravo good Sir/Madam/Monkey :)

Hey I made an account just to tell you that I think this is probably the most well spent time I've ever used on Newgrounds. You've truly created something beautiful and should be very proud of what you've done; this is art.
I doubt I'll be moved enough again to write another review on this site, so goodbye, and thank you.

Toby Martin (Sydney, Aus.) won the O'Neill Cold Water Classic presented by {{{Jeep}}} today in pumping overhead surf at Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz, California. This World Qualifying Series (WQS) four-star event and the Oakley Pro Junior North American Championships narrowed their respective competitor fields down to the final 16.
Martin, who is currently ranked 43rd on the prestigious Foster's ASP Men's World Tour, had been in sizzling form all event utilizing his experience amongst the world's best to claim the victory at his first ever Cold Water Classic campaign.
"I'm wrapped right now with this win," Martin said. "In all the years I've been competing, I've never had the time to come up here and do the event. Santa Cruz is such a legendary place and the Cold Water Classic is so prestigious that I had to compete this year." Martin held onto a slender lead throughout the heat despite the onslaught from opponents Nathaniel Curran (Oxnard, Calif.), Jesse Merle-Jones (Sunset, Haw.) and Josh Loya (Santa Cruz, Calif.).
"I grew up on a wave that is very similar to Steamer's," Martin said. "I feel really comfortable out there. I knew the conditions were deteriorating so I just tried to get some scores under my belt. It's so great to have such amazing local support from the Santa Cruz crew up here. It's been a phenomenal week."
Josh Loya (Santa Cruz, Calif.) was the sole local competing in the finals. Gaining entry into the event through the O'Neill Trials, Loya surfed an astonishing 10 heats in six days. "I would have loved a win out here – I mean, I really really would have loved a win out here," said Loya. "Unfortunately, I surfed a few more heats than everyone else and ran out of steam out there. A win would have been nice, but it's still cool to make the final. I really appreciate all of the local support all week long."
Tim Reyes (Huntington Beach, Calif.), currently ranked 11 on the Foster's ASP World Championship Tour, suffered a horrific wipeout in his semifinal heat. Reyes was sitting in first position but following the execution of a lengthy floater, he landed awkwardly on his board, straining his back knee. The injury forced him to paddle out of the water with time still remaining in the heat, which allowed Josh Loya and Nathaniel Curran to advance to the final.
Nathan Yeomans (San Clemente, Calif.) clinched the Macy's California Trifecta Surf Series presented by Jeep title and took home the $10,000 bonus purse. Yeomans, who has surfed well in all three Trifecta events (the Body Glove Surfbout presented by Adio, the Newport Beach Pro presented by Jeep and the O'Neill Cold Water Classic presented by Jeep) held on to the ratings lead today despite a last-minute charge by Nathaniel Curran. Curran finished second in the O'Neill Cold Water Classic – only a few tenths out of first place. Had Curran won the O'Neill Cold Water Classic he would have netted $20,000 in prize money, $10,000 for the WQS win plus the $10,000 Macy's California Trifecta bonus.
"I was so nervous watching the final that I couldn't even be here – I was watching it at home online," said Yeomans. "I'm really ecstatic that I won. Today was a nail-biter. I'm psyched that Macy's put up the money for these three events – it's a reflection on the guys who surf these events all year." Dustin Cuizon (Ewa Beach, HI) finishes the Trifecta series in third place after an early exit from the O'Neill Cold Water Classic event.

About this time three years ago, when Julian Assange was a long-haired computer hacker who the United States authorities suspected might be in possession of some important files of theirs, his contacts in London noticed that one of their number was becoming especially close to him.
Sarah Harrison was a beautiful twentysomething Londoner who had been a junior researcher for an organisation working with WikiLeaks. As the cool summer of 2010 got under way, it became apparent that she was also Assange's lover.
That relationship, which has lasted for much of the time since, has been kept under the radar by Assange, as was her role in WikiLeaks. But Harrison finds herself thrust into the eye of a global diplomatic storm — chosen by Assange to accompany celebrity whistleblower Edward Snowden on his escape from US extradition.
A statement from WikiLeaks on Sunday said the previously low-profile Harrison had "courageously assisted Mr Snowden with his lawful departure from Hong Kong and is accompanying him in his passage to safety". On Monday, in a call to journalists, Assange said: "The current status of Mr Snowden and Harrison is that both are healthy and safe and they are in contact with their legal teams."
Some now wonder if Harrison is directing the most gripping drama in town. But just who is she? Harrison, it seems, is the girl who has come from nowhere. Like other WikiLeaks staffers she has reduced her online profile to almost zero, and while one source says she hails from Kent little is known about her education or family background, other than that she studied science and literature at university in London. None of the former employers we spoke to claims to have seen her CV, nor could they even confirm her age.
The WikiLeaks website says Harrison has "worked on important investigative projects" and describes her as a "UK citizen, journalist and legal researcher". Uncharacteristically for WikiLeaks, that has to go down as understatement.
London figures who have worked with and near Harrison say she is Assange's most powerful lieutenant and his principal link to the outside world from his room in the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge. She doesn't have desk space — only Assange does — but as a member of the legal team she often has meetings with him. Anyone who wants to deal with Assange must go through his young gatekeeper and she represents him at events that his diplomatic impasse prevents him from attending in person, including a private visit to Australia last month where someone present says she was acting as "eyes and ears on the ground in the lead-up to the Australian election."
Since she took off from Hong Kong with Snowden, the Standard has spoken to several people who witnessed at first-hand how Harrison caught Assange's eye with her unpaid work on complex and secret data and became his lover and one of the leading members of WikiLeaks.
Among the speculation and half-truths written about Harrison, it is a matter of record that she was one of the people who offered bail sureties for Assange and was forced to pay £3,500 last year when he escaped extradition to Sweden to face questioning on sex charges by fleeing to the embassy.
Veteran investigative journalist Gavin MacFadyen recalls being impressed when Harrison came to him in 2009 asking for an unpaid internship. He says she proved to be "a very solid, serious researcher" at his educational group, the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ), which is based at City University.
MacFadyen says she was "very single-minded and focused" and "would come in and just work like a maniac all day long". Outside work, he says, she didn't go near "frivolity and wild drinking parties" and came across as "a very serious person".
Things got serious in a different way when MacFadyen's organisation began to work with the newly famous Julian Assange. On one of his visits to the CIJ, Harrison apparently met him.
For the moment, though, no one clocked the pair's immediate connection. Harrison's work for MacFadyen saw her move to another group based at City University called the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (BIJ), whose then editor-in-chief Iain Overton has confirmed that he hired her as a junior researcher in May 2010. The BIJ had been given Assange's thousands of leaked files about the war in Iraq to sort through for two documentaries, and they needed good data analysts who could work a bit below the radar.
"I was always trying to work out her age," says Overton, who recalls that "she dressed young" and "with a kind of liberal tendency — lots of dangly earrings". He says she kept herself to herself but won't comment on the relationship she struck up at that time with the man who is more than 10 years her senior.
Sources confirm that the pair became an item in the summer of 2010 — Harrison staying with Assange at his room in Paddington — and continued to go out as Assange's international profile grew. Harrison stayed with him in December 2010 at Ellingham Hall — the Norfolk mansion owned by WikiLeaks supporter Vaughan Smith.
Even those very close to Assange don't seem to know what the current status of the relationship is (with some reports suggesting it may presently be off), though one confirms that it continued after 2010 "for a significant period of time".
Whatever her personal status, it is clear that the power Harrison wields on Assange's behalf is greater than ever. This time last year she presented a leak called The Syria Files to the press at the Frontline Club with the same blend of charm and messianic rhetoric that used to characterise her boss's speeches in the same room.
And this week she faces her biggest gig yet — shepherding the most famous leaker in the world to diplomatic safety. MacFadyen sees the logic of Snowden travelling with her, and says she is "quite experienced in the issue of emigration and extradition law" and "has a good sense of diplomatic protocol".
President Putin yesterday confirmed that Snowden, and presumably also Harrison, are holed up in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport, adding ominously that "the sooner he chooses his final destination, the better it is for him and Russia". Assange will hope his protégée can offer good counsel for another leaker on the run.

Rory Allen Gregory
June 17, approximately 5:30 pm, Rory Allen Gregory, age 52 of Mountain Home was arrested by the US Marshals Service and the Mesquite Texas Police Department. Gregory was arrested at a hotel in Mesquite without incident following a tip from a private citizen.
Gregory was wanted in Baxter County for Theft of Property, Independence County for Conspiracy to Commit Theft, Boone County for Criminal Trespass, Theft of Property and a Habitual Offender and he was also wanted in Bowie County Texas for Theft of Property.
On Friday, June 13th, Gregory was put on the Baxter County Sheriff's Most Wanted Website and his photo was placed on the Sheriff's Office Facebook Page as well as Sheriff John Montgomery's personal Facebook Page. Gregory's photo and status was shared 201 times on Facebook throughout several counties in Arkansas and surrounding states. Authorities believe this social media blitz is what prompted the citizen tip that led to his arrest.
Gregory is cooperating with authorities and will be returned to Baxter County at some point in the near future to face Theft Charges.
The Sheriff's Office would like to thank the public for their assistance in apprehending, Gregory. It is this continued cooperation between the public and law enforcement that continues to make Baxter County the great place it is to live and raise a family.

Man Faces Attempted Murder Charges
Charges are pending against a 34-year-old man who police say intentionally tried to run over three people in Waikiki. The incident began at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday when the man deliberately drove his vehicle toward three men -- 33, 34 and 18 years old. He then threatened the men. Police caught up with him and arrested him at 5:45 p.m. at Leahi Avenue and Pualei Circle, near the man's home. He faces three counts of first- degree attempted murder, first-degree terroristic threatening, impersonating a law enforcement officer and endangering the welfare of a minor.
