Looking for a new TV. Old one has about had it now. 47-55"

Ok guys give me some options. My old BIG CRT Toshiba 47"(about 8 years old) is going wonky..lines and fuzz till it takes about 5 minutes to "warm up" then its ok..but its been like that for about 4-5 months now. Im looking to get it at Best buy(only local place of its type) as they do the one thing I dont think anyone else does. They will take away the current MONSTROSITY when they deliver the new one..other than that its just too hard to schedule exact drop off and pickup times to get rid of the old TV and have the new one. We have a small living room and modest HT system im still stuck on the old 5.1 standard for HT as I dont have room for any more speakers than that(nor do I see the real need). I DO need a new Receiver also but thats another thread I guess. the Speakers are Mirage Omni 60's with a Atlantic Technology Subwoofer. Back to the TV. It sits on a wall that I have measured the wall is 53 inches wide so the TV and stand would have to fit in that area our "normal" viewing area is slightly to the right of center and about 9-10 feet away from TV. We have Comcast HD cable as the viewing medium. Ive not yet upgraded to anything Blue Ray as I didnt see the need but im am in that process. im one of those people that really can NOT see a difference between a "regular" DvD and a Blue ray so I never jumped immediately on board. I CAN tell the difference in say a normal broadcast of a NFL or NHL game and a HD broadcast(i just dont see that translate over to regular DvD and Blue Ray) We watch "normal" TV mostly with a couple movies on the weekend and some NFL/NHL games mixed in. Most of the Movies I like/watch are action/sci-fi/military types. We think the "smart" technology is cool but not a deal breaker. I dont normally do much online watching as I dont like to pay for extra stuff(like say Hulu plus) Id like Smart but if its not and a lot better TV thats also ok. Ive not gone in and measured so im just assuming width wise a 55" TV would fit im my 53" space as my 47" TV only measures 43" across.. Im also assuming that by doing limited research I want a LED LCD type? Well let me know that you think I should be looking at. Thanks

You only want an LED-lit LCD is you want an inferior picture. Buy a plasma. Great deals on the outgoing 2012s if you hurry. How much do you want to spend? since I could say..."Buy a VT50"

Id like to spend around a grand give or take on the TV so I have room(money wise) for a wall mount or decent stand for it. As I had said I was just looking for something decent as I cant even tell the difference between a regular DvD of 15 years ago and a Blue Ray of now...I just watched a old DVD of "Platoon" looked great to me and I have seen that on Blue ray and to me no difference...so I guess I cant tell..things like that or notice anything that "technical" so it does not need to be anything "top end" just something decent.

I'd pick a 1080p LG or Panny plasma. With the current close out deals, you can probably score one, somewhere, for as little as $700.

One major retailer is blowing out Panasonic TC-P50ST50s for $799. Very highly rated 3D capable "Smart" plasma.

the ST is capable of a very stunning image. Ive seen the 65" version for $1999. At the same time I have seen the top of the line 65VT50 going for $2350 - $2450.

im trying to find one unfortunately its pretty hard at this time to find it under $950 as the place that has/HAD(more like it) at $799 is "sold out" now (story of my life) so best ive seen now is between $850-950 in the 50" model

they do or would but they looked and they cant even order one in none in warehouse none in other stores, Sears clean out of them also. Best Buy had them at $949...well that was the sale price IF they could get them but no go..they said they should be back in stock soon..but then will they be at the SALE price lol...the closest they had that they could get was the Panasonic Magnolia one they had in 50" at $1,149.98 I didnt see any LG's that were also Smart TV and 3D like the panny though is this one really worth the extra $200 over the one you guys told me about? And yes with the one you guys recommended I looked at his screen and the entire PA area and warehouse listed them as Zero in stock...so i dont think he was trying to pull a "fast one" and just get me to buy something more expensive..he didnt have that in stock either but said they had 250 in the warehouse. Thoughts? Alternatives?
try amazon.com, cleveland plasma, and Pauls TV. (best buy should also price match ? )

Two issues with Samsung...one plasma related... 1. Samsung power supplies tend to detonate around the 18 month mark. When they "go", they take the entire TV with them. Ongoing problem for over 12 years. It affects roughly 10-15% of the TV produced. 5% is "considered" unreliable, that makes Samsung TV 2-3 times more likely to fail...yet still means...85% of them are fine after 18-24 months. Long story short...buy a 2yr extended...(if you google "replacing Samsung power supply capacitor" you'll see tons of forums discussing how you can DIY a fix yourself for the cost of a soldering gun and replacement caps...which the type of caps are easily identifiable. DIY fix is typically under $25. Including the soldering gun. Or you can wait till yours shows "signs of impending power supply failure" and fix it then. Most shops will repair an "already removed" power supply for $50...then take it home and put it back in the TV) 2. Samsung plasma "buzz". I know two people with them, only if you are standing within 2 feet of the TV...with the room "silent" can I hear it. In one of my friends homes...the HVAC is louder than the TV is...even though the buzz is there.

Extended warranties are, in my opinion, based on two things... 1. Does it have moving parts? 2. Can I survive another purchase if this one craps out right after the warranty expires... TV don't have moving parts. These aren't the "old days" of rear projection. If this were a DLP/LV, sure...cause they cover the lamp you'll need in year three anyway. Can you afford "another TV" if this one dies in month 13? Only you can answer that question. The true test of most CE is the first 6 months. 99% of the time...the device you buy is "screwed up straight out of the box"...or it is fine for years. Most manufacturers accept a 5% first year failure rate. For more consideration...do you live in an area prone to brownouts and blackouts? Extended warranty covers that(read the fine print to make sure) where the manufacturer tells you to call your insurance company. Lastly, lots of credit cards double warranty. One of my credit cards even covers rental cars. All that is required for them to cover a rental is me to have regular insurance...which you need to have to rent the car in the first place.

Traders were so far delivering a mixed and indecisive global session after the Federal Reserve left policy unchanged amid lingering eurozone worries, the FT reports. The FTSE All-World equity index was down 0.4 per cent and industrial commodity prices were mostly softer, with copper off 1.1 per cent to $3.40 a pound and Brent crude dipping 0.6 per cent to $108.80 a barrel. Wholesale risk aversion was certainly not the predominant theme, however. Gold was rebounding 0.3 per cent to $1,636, after tumbling nearly $80 in the previous two days. The dollar index, which tends to display an inverse correlation to investor optimism, was fractionally lower – though still near 11-month highs – while US Treasuries were also seeing some profit taking after their good run, nudging up yields. Meanwhile, the FTSE Eurofirst 300 was down 0.4 per cent, but S&P 500 futures pointed to Wall Street adding 0.3 per cent at the open.

Metro Newsroom
LouisvilleKY.gov Links
Thursday January 28, 2010
For Immediate Release:Majority Caucus Louisvilel Metro CouncilContact: Tony Hyatt 574-4137/526-3622On Thursday night, Councilman Brent Ackerson (D-26) pulled his sponsorship of R-214-10-09, a resolution designed to seek to amend Louisville Metro mayoral term limits from three consecutive terms to two. By pulling his sponsorship, the resolution dies at the Metro Council level.
Ackerson has released this statement explaining his decision:
"I introduced the Mayoral Term Limits Resolution in October of 2009 because I wanted to first inspire others to thoughtfully discuss how we might change our laws that govern Louisville Metro to make our government work better, and secondly because I wanted to seek to inspire new leadership, new ideas, and new vision, from our City's chief executive office in the future. I believe that I have achieved the first goal in that other ideas are being discussed. I will continue to advance the second goal, but at this time have chosen to halt the progress of such until such time as my colleagues bring forth resolutions of their own to address the areas of change that they see as being needed.
On December 16, 2009, during the Government Accountability and Oversight Committee meeting, it was specifically discussed that the various ideas to amend KRS 67C, the laws which govern Louisville Metro's government, would each be addressed in separate individual resolutions, due to the fact that each issue was independent and different. I and then Committee Chair Kelly Downard (R-16), each stated that we did not want to piecemeal the process whereby trade-offs and compromises could be made on the various issues. The goal that was intended was that members of the Council would support that which they truly believed needed change and not support something just to gain support for something else. Councilman Downard, as Committee Chair, stated at the end of the December 16, 2009 meeting that he hoped other Council Members would pick up the various KRS 67C issues that were submitted to him and turn them into resolutions. I stated during the discussion that he wanted each item dealt with separately and then bundled by a subsequent resolution to be delivered to the Kentucky legislature.
Other than Councilman Downard's resolution and Councilwoman Mary Woolridge's (D-3) resolution, both of which address the same subject matter, no other resolutions have been filed dealing with any other issues pertaining to changes to KRS 67C. In today's news, a newspaper article reported many new proposed changes to the Merger Laws would be discussed at the February 10, 2010 meeting of the Government Accountability and Oversight Committee. That same news article reported expressed concerns related to running out of time to get these issues before the legislature this session.
I have reservations and concerns that we may now be rushing items that need detailed and thorough discussion. Additionally, I am concerned that rather than addressing each item separately, there may be an effort to piggy-back changes upon my proposed resolution, which is contrary to what I and the former Chair of the Committee expressed back in the December 16, 2009 committee meeting. I fear that the potential rush and comingling of issues will result in pushing forward an effect that I did not intend. Because of such I have pulled my sponsorship of the resolution."
Sponsor:Brent Ackerson (D) 26

A Fayetteville restaurant had its health score drop because employees were still bringing uncovered, personal drinks into the food service area, a known risk factor for food-borne illness.
The drinks were not covered with lids and straws to protect against cross contamination. It was a repeat violation for Royal Stix, 805 S. Glynn Street, which led to a failing score of 68/U. The restaurant had previous scores of 89/B and 92/A.
The restaurant was also flagged for not having an accessible employee hand sink. During the routine inspection, the sink was being used to store sponges and drink pitchers. There were no paper towels or soap.
Points were taken off for food storage violations. Raw meats were not separated from ready-to-eat foods in a cooler. Boxes of food products and containers of sanitizer were stored on the floor, instead of on shelves in the storage area. Date labels were missing from left-over foods and sauces.
Royal Stix will be re-inspected, but cleaning and repairs are needed first. The facility had repeat violations of both. The floors were dirty under the cook-line and storage shelves, the dumpster area needed cleaning and a rear door was still in need of repairs.
Restaurant management could not be reached for comment.
Here are other recent inspection scores from area restaurants.

Went from one workout a day, to two workouts a day, and today I'm pumping out three. Early morning, lunch break, post work- It feels so good! Addicted. In it to win it.
I just can't handle men in suits. Like an average guy could put on a suit and be a 10+. The suit is magical.

Unfortunately an alt doesn't need as much gold as you would think. I honestly send my alts 2k, and 4 netherweave bags, and that'll do until level 70. 2k, while noticeable, still isn't that much to a middle-class player with a 5-digit bank account, especially since I really don't have anything to buy.

Green Building and Smart Features
Solar Panels
In January 2006, Black Rock Forest's solar panel system started producing energy. In its first 11 months, it produced nearly 26,000 kilowatt-hours (kW-h) of electricity, or roughly half the total energy used by the Center for Science and Education, saving about $3000. During the summer, the system provides all the energy needed from early in the morning until sundown.
The Forest's system has three components: 40 photovoltaic panels on the south-facing roof of the Center for Science and Education, 32 on the roof of the Solar Pavilion, and 8 on the roof over the steps from the parking lot. These panels are connected to inverters in the basement of the Science Center that covert the direct current they produce into alternating current and send it to the main electrical panel for distribution. The system's software provides real time (and archival) data on peak instantaneous power (kW), total power produced (kW-h), insolation (a measure of sunlight in W/m2), and temperature of the solar panel cells (which relates to their efficiency). These data are currently available on the web site of Northern Power. Consortium members may view the data for research or classroom activities by contacting the Forest office.
FXFOWLE Architects designed the Science Center roof so it would be able to accommodate solar panels, and also designed the Pavilion and the walkway roof. Together with the Consortium, they obtained a grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA) that provided about 60% of the cost of the project; some additional funding came from New York State's Department of Environmental Conservation, thanks to the efforts of State Senator Bill Larkin. Northern Power installed the solar panels and was the prime contractor for the project. Storm King Contracting built the structures, using red pine from the Forest to frame the roofs of the Pavilion and the stair covering.The Solar Pavilion (photo courtesy of FXFOWLE)

TEAMS: Dallas Cowboys
The saga of Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Tyron Smith's family difficulties has taken another twist. Smith's attorney, John Schorsch, claims that the player is missing up to $1 million and that he might pursue legal action against the family. Earlier this week, Dallas police received a 911 call from Smith's home after siblings, according to the police report, arrived to "harass and torment" him for "financial gain." Schorsch plans to have an accountant examine the players' personal finances before possibly possibly seeking legal recourse. "I'm not certain of the amount of money that's gone," Schorsch told The Dalas Morning News. "I would suggest to you that the numbers are in the seven digits that need to be accounted for. I don't know how much of that, if any, is a legitimate gift and how much of that is squeezed out of him or how much of that is flat-out taken. And I know of the latter two categories it's...

Day in Tech History
Jeffrey Powers
Madison, WI
Description: For the Tech History Geek in all of us
Now Playing
November 10: Atari Was Big Dog at Comdex
1986 - Back in that day, Comdex was the big computer show. There were two versions: one that was held in Chicago in the spring and the other in Las Vegas mid-November. At this time, Atari was the big dog on the block. Jack Tramiel was putting all efforts in this years Comdex after seeing a small dip in the shares.So they set up a 65 booth display with different 3rd party developers that would show off what the Atari could do. The big innovation that year – the SX212 1200 baud modem for $99.95. They also showed off the Atari 2600jr and the Atari 7800, and because of that impressive show, Atari boasted a $25 million profit that year.
Of course, the company went well for a few more years, merged with JTS, which was then bought by Hasbro in 1998. The company still is survived in a way to this day, but not in the glory that it was back then.

On Showing Solidarity Without Flaunting Privilege
On tumblr today, we're talking about the non-Muslim girl who put on a headscarf and went to the mall to experience what it is like to be visibly Muslim in the United States.
She writes:
This experiment gave me a huge wake up call. It lasted for only a few hours, so I can't even begin to imagine how much prejudice Muslim girls go through every day.
Her experience has been deconstructed, ranging from critiques that her "sociological experiment" was microaggressive and invalidating of real experiences, to defenses that she was simply trying to understand by walking in someone else's shoes for a day.
There's also critique that there is important meaning behind wearing the hijab, and that the purpose of the hijab is not to use it "to find out what it's like to experience Islamophobia for a day."
Another underlying argument is simply wondering why someone who is non-Muslim and did it for a day is getting so much praise, while people who are Muslim and wear hijab daily are not acknowledged for the discrimination they face and are often told they are exaggerating and overreacting when they share their experiences.
I think we can all agree that this woman considers herself to be and is trying to be an ally. And that to want to be an ally is a good thing.
Although they are not equivalent experiences, the first thing I thought of when I read these posts whats this:
- Dax Shepard, Kristen Bell: "We'll get married when our gay friends can"
- "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," - Brad Pitt
In which two opposite-sex celebrity couples have spoken out in solidarity of marriage equality. If same-sex couples can't get married, we won't get married, either.
This is something I used to believe, too, and something I've seen espoused by friends as well. And how could a couple with straight privilege/passing-straight/heteronormative privilege making a statement like this be considered a bad thing? We were all showing solidarity for gay/same-sex couples—or so we thought. We declared this proudly, as allies voluntarily sacrificing our rights in the name of social justice.
Here's the deal with voluntarily shedding your privilege to stand in solidarity with those who face oppression, though—is it even actually possible?
Because when I said, "I won't get married until gay couples can get married, too." I experienced the loss of my rights on a completely voluntary level. To face something self-imposed is not the same as to face something imposed on you by society.
My friends in "same-sex" relationships were up against systemic discrimination. I was just exercising a choice not to get married— a choice that hetero"normative" couples have that couples in "same-sex" relationships simply don't have. I wasn't "learning what it was like" to experience marriage discrimination at all. I glommed onto an injustice that was not happening to me and tried to make it all about me and how valiant of an ally I was.
When I said, "I've chosen not to get married until you can," to demonstrate solidarity, what I was really doing was reminding people that they can't get married, and that unlike me, they don't have a choice in that. They didn't have the straight privilege to choose to not get married. It didn't matter that I was trying to "show solidarity." My self imposed boycott, my 'newfound' understanding of not being able to get married before marriage equality—all of those experiences did nothing for them or for the fight for marriage equality.
Did it build character? Not really. And every time I said it, I was simply reinforcing that the inequality existed, magnifying the privilege I had without choosing to acknowledge it.
It also reminded me of a project that my high school did to teach students about homelessness.
My high school was in an affluent suburb in Orange County. Every year, a class would be selected to participate in a special project: For a week, students would reenact what it was like to be homeless. Their parents were instructed not to give them lunch money. They were asked to sleep in their parents cars instead of in their bedroom. They had to turn in their cell phones and not use the computer or video game consoles. After all of this self-deprivation, they would journal about their experience and what it was like for them to be "homeless" and to "live in poverty."
This program was designed to be life changing for students, to show them what it was like to be poor. It did educate and change the perspective of some of the rich kids. But an unintentional side effect was that it also hurt and offended the students who were actually experiencing homelessness and being from low income families. Wealthy students were praised for voluntarily sacrificing their cell phones and CD players and GameBoys. But experiencing poverty is not voluntary—so were these wealthy students truly understanding what it was like? Did the students from lower income families really feel that their peers were showing them solidarity?
There are ways to demonstrate solidarity without declaring that you are voluntarily and temporarily shedding your privilege to stand next to people who experience oppression. Even voluntarily opting out of privilege is in itself a function of privilege. And those declarations can be hurtful—because they magnify the injustice of not having a choice.
Maybe there isn't a way to "understand what it is like" unless you've been there, and part of being a good ally is just understanding that.

And put in 5 times the work.
The easiest fix to this is to say that reputation status (Friendly, Honoured, etc) is account-wide, whereas the degree within each status (1200/21000) is character based.
Any change to a character's reputation status will automatically change all other characters' reputation status with that faction (for better or worse, so people can't cheat themselves into 'The Insane' title).

Editorial Review
The group behind Traffic Bar in NYC stakes out new territory in Montauk. Outdoor bar and wide open floor plan almost make up for the lack of an ocean view. Fairly standard pub food with a few nicely executed items like Clams Casino and a solid raw bar. Tons of drink specials and weekly parties and live performances make it more of a late night spot than place to go for lunch, but the prices are more than reasonable, even by Hamptons standards.

TEAMS: Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks
When Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin and offensive coordinator Mike Sherman came to South Beach, they had visions of an up-tempo, fast-moving offense that moved the chains and kept defenses on their heels. Through 11 weeks, Philbin hasn't gotten the results he'd like, and he can pinpoint it to one telling number in the Dolphins' 4-6 campaign. "The thing that I think has been a challenge for us is our play count is nowhere near where it needs to be," Philbin said Friday, according to the team's media site. "I think that's primarily, I believe that's a reflection of our third down performance or lack thereof."Through 11 weeks, the Dolphins have run 625 plays from scrimmage, which ranks bottom-third in the NFL. The Dolphins are also converting on just 35.8 percent of third downs, which is fourth-worst in the AFC."When you're running 55 plays in a game, let's say you average 12 possessions a game and that's give or take, so if you'...

Ok, nice one. I've updated the file again. It is really getting there now I think.
Thanks Luz for your version, it was a good effort, although there were some bits that I felt didn't really fit properly, however the vocal track was spot on
I've added more drumming to the file so really it's nearly there.

www.ronpaul2012.com, you'll have it. But, you've already had 5 years to read up on it, and no doubt you've seen the hundreds of Ron Paul supporter-generated posts on here. Do I really have to repeat what is already very widely known?
Yes I do.
"If I can't win, I won't play." - Doris Colecchio.
"Well Gary, the easiest way to look tall is to stand in a room full of short people." - Curtis Bostick
That may be an understandable and operative term in the UK -- but not here.
It is and always has been waaaaaaaaaaaa to nebulous, despite what Rush and the many other "conservative" talk show people currently, and CARELESSLY, tout.
Here, I think, the correct definition for most such folks is Libertarian/Tea Party Movement. This is much more specific about philosophy, politico/economics, goals and objectives -- and may well indeed alienate some "conservatives," especially on the religious right who have always been the Achilles heel to intelligent educated (mostly) women.
But, who cares!
The current "conservatives" are proven losers against the socialists.
Having said that, any "conservative," libertarian, tea party movement group, etc. is going to fight a tough uphill battle against the socialist, who will carelessly and happily loot the treasury to deliver "Ineptocracy":
A system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
Reduced to entitlement street talk understanding: "Vote for me and you will get all your free chit!"
Am now thinking about the definition of Lowest Common Denominator . . . ?
How low are we willing to go before making a major change?

One of the primary functions of good government is to encourage citizens to go out and try their best to be successful.
To make them comfortable, the desperate and fragile fantasy-land liberal delusions must be shielded from the bright lights of logic and rational thought.
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
Winston Churchill
That's some funny stuff there. Allen West (he probably lost and seems to be missing) and Michelle Bachmann (eked out a win, but there probably will be a recount) two of the most "popular" Tea Party candidates, both running in districts made more Republican dominated by their last redistricting changes, didn't have particularly good nights.?The Tea Party is now more important than ever before.

Michael Waltrip Racing striving for elite status
By admin | May 29, 2009
By Richard Allen
There are three and possibly four elite organizations in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Hendrick Motorsports, Joe Gibbs Racing and Roush Fenway Racing account for the vast majority of wins and championships on the circuit over the past decade or so.
As a matter of fact, only one car owner aside form the three mentioned above has won a championship since 1995. If Richard Childress Racing, which placed three cars in the Chase for the Championship last year, is included that string of titles becomes even more daunting. With that team added, those four organizations have claimed 21 of the last 24 championship trophies.
RCR now appears to be teetering on the brink of dropping from that elite status. If indeed that organization falls to a secondary position, who will take their place at or near the top? Or, will anyone take their place?
Penske Racing South has been one of the teams to flirt with elite status over the years. They have never had the type of success in NASCAR that their primary owner has had in other forms of racing, but they have won multiple races and contended for championships in years gone by.
It would not come a major surprise if a team headed up by 'The Captain' Roger Penske were to join the ranks of the elite.
However, there is another possibility that could emerge as a threat to the powerful mega-teams at the top of the NASCAR heap.
Michael Waltrip Racing is working its way up the ladder of the racing hierarchy. Their win in the Coca-Cola 600 certainly was a significant milestone in the somewhat brief history of this team.
Granted, the win did come in a rain shortened event and was the result of staying on the track when most other lead lap cars pitted, but a win is a win. Consider, though, that David Reutimann has raced in or near the Top 12 of the standings all season.
Michael Waltrip was among the first car owners to maneuver himself into the good graces of Toyota when that auto giant announced it would enter the Sprint Cup Series in 2007. However, that season could not have started much worse for MWR. The team was slapped with a major penalty after a rules violation was found in pre-race inspection for the Daytona 500.
The team struggled mightily throughout 2007 as they suffered through missed races and poor performances.
Now, things seem to definitely be on the upswing. Reutimann's win in the Coke 600 was only one piece of good news to come out of the two weeks spent in Charlotte. Rumor has it that Martin Truex may be set to join former Dale Earnhardt, Inc. co-horts Waltrip and Ty Norris(MWR General Manager).
According to numerous reports, Truex would replace Waltrip as the driver of car #55, which would leave Waltrip to focus on the business end of the organization.
Also, this season MWR has entered into a partnership with JTG-Daugherty Racing. This has helped bring aboard additional name recognition through former NBA player and ESPN personality Brad Daugherty and Australian driver Marcos Ambrose.
Michael Waltrip Racing has taken its first major step toward elite status by winning a Sprint Cup race. However, there are many more steps yet to be taken.
This company has a number of things working in its favor. If they are able to sign Truex he will add to a reasonably strong driver lineup along with Reutimann and Ambrose. Norris provides sound leadership. Waltrip is one of the best corporate spokesmen in NASCAR today.
If MWR continues on its upward flight and plays its positive attributes just right, they could find themselves among the racing elite in the not so distant future.

Thank you for recognizing the struggles MWR has had and has overcome…..They are building "the real deal" over there…
Look for them to be real challengers for years to come….

World of Speed preview: race posh cars without paying a penny
Written by Ben Griffin
For Slightly Mad Studios, the clue's in the name. They've started this new driving sim in the middle of producing the massively ambitious Project CARS. This, their other racer, bills itself as a globe-trotting free-to-play MMO where gamers the world over form clans, pimp cars and tear up tracks from Moscow to Monaco. Think World of Tanks with plush leather interiors.
However, the confirmation of that precisely zero-pound pricetag could prompt eyerolls. There's no denying that – whisper it – microtransactions have a certain stigma; how will Slightly Mad keep fans from having their tires spiked by such a business model? Creative director Andy Tudor bristles at the term. "Stop saying free-to-play. I never said that. I said you could download the game for free. You can play the game for free, and you can compete at the highest tier. You can get all the best stuff in the game and you'll never have to pay a penny, yeah?" Tellingly about three minutes later he slips: "But as I said, the game is completely free-to-play." Um.
Clearly there's confusion here, a kneejerk defensiveness that doubles back on itself. "It is very obvious and very annoying when you feel disadvantaged when someone spends money in the game and therefore wins," says Tudor. "That's payto- win... We think it's terrible. Where microtransactions do come in, that's because we all have very busy schedules and devices to play on and our time is so limited. As a player, it's a godsend if I'm given an opportunity to accelerate my time through the game."
Isn't this the same point masquerading as two different answers? So it's annoying when people spend money to win, but it's OK if they're in a rush? You hate it when other people 'accelerate' through the game, but it's somehow fine when you inject your experience with a little go-faster cash? It's worth noting that the second Shift game had paid-for shortcuts, yet it was still a full-price release. The free-to-play model can work, but in dodging simple questions such as 'what are you charging for?' (Tudor mentions gold rims before clamming up), it's hard to figure out Slightly Mad's business model here.
Pricing confusion aside, World of Speed is a grab bag of good ideas. Mid-race objectives, for example, are very Project Gotham. You might be asked to trade paint with an opponent, draft for ten seconds, drift around a chicane or avoid taking damage for a period of time. Objectives are randomly picked from a pool, but in cases where they contradict each other (wasn't it Plato who once pondered how it is one can both drift and draft?) they are specifically assigned. Interestingly, objectives are achievable regardless of what position you're in – World of Speed is not a game in which the fastest driver wins.
Four is the lucky number here. Four versus four is the maximum player count. The average length of a race is four minutes. There are four different objectives for each player. This number wasn't an accident. Slightly Mad learned from Need for Speed: Shift's team-based DLC, in particular about making sure everyone on the team contributes. Mandatory objectives, for example, provide a framework for strategies that don't all tend towards 'get to the finish first'. It's hoped players will adopt roles, whether blocker, wingman, drifter or drafter, and tune their cars accordingly.
If the objectives are Project Gotham, the Territory Wars game mode is Driveclub. Here, if you post the fastest time on a track, your team's logo gets plastered across it for all to view. Then there's the Test Drive Unlimited clubhouse where you can paint cars, tinker with engines and invite friends over to walk around awkwardly. And there's the Airfield, a small hub resembling Dirt 3's Battersea Power Station and similarly stuffed with minigames.
As for the handling, it tends towards Midnight Club. You'll burn blue nitro down Moscow straights, smash benches by the Thames and take ramp-filled shortcuts in Monaco. "When it comes to competitors for World of Speed, we don't really think there are any," Tudor says. "We look at games like Grid, Project Gotham and Burnout Paradise, but we really want to forge our own path."
The drip-feed of fresh cars, tracks and modes will, I'm told, continue for years. When I asked about the ability to customise drivers, the answer was not "no," but "we're not discussing that yet." Provided Slightly Mad don't just drop the game and run, there's potential here for a something unique: a platform. A constantly evolving racers' paradise.
World of Speed looks set to plug a gap in the market – that of the massively multiplayer online racer. For Tudor, the format makes perfect sense. "What do you do in an MMO? You race through the game, you earn stuff, you craft new items, you play as a team to beat quests, you go on raids. It's like, 'yeah, that fits a racing game spot-on.'" Whether that divisive free-toplay model will intrude on what is otherwise a fresh and exciting racing game remains to be seen.

Stapleton Colorado Homes.com
Welcome to Stapleton Colorado Homes, one of the nation's top econeighborhoods. With the closure of the decommissioned Stapleton airport in 1995 the Stapleton Master Plan aka "The Green Book" was completed outlining the future of this 7.5 square mile infill development site.
With US buildings accounting for 39% of energy consumption 14% of potable water use and emitting 33% of the nation's greenhouse gas. Combatting urban sprawl integrating smart growth, new urbanism and green building was the task of the Stapleton Development Corporation. The Stapleton Development Corporation was formed by the city and county of Denver to oversee Forest City's continued compliance with the visionary work outlined in the Stapleton Green Book.
With 100% of all Stapleton Colorado Homes constructed to Energy Star Certification saving a minimum of 30% of energy costs. This is accomplished through installing Energy Star appliances, fixtures, thermostats, utilizing effective insulation, superior window technology, efficient heating and cooling and sealing all cracks in the HVAC system. These upgraded features come standard in all Stapleton Colorado Homes. Energy Star Certification includes less water consumption in all residential Stapleton real estate using water-efficient fixtures throughout the Stapleton neighborhood. This reduces the Stapleton homeowner's water bill. Forest City Stapleton Colorado Master Developer also constructed a rainwater runoff system that recycles into the Stapleton neighborhood westerly creek.
Commercial and residential development in the Stapleton neighborhood incorporates LEED principles with all Stapleton Colorado office buildings constructed to LEED Certification. All of these energy-efficient techniques are sought after by home buyers as energy efficient Stapleton Colorado homes have retained their value as they emit fewer greenhouse gases, reducing the demand for fossil fuels.
The Stapleton neighborhood offers numerous benefits as a walkable neighborhood with over thirty-five miles of bike trails which connect to Denver's 800 mile bike network and the Rocky Mountain Arsenal bike system.
This helps promote a healthy, sustainable Stapleton lifestyle. Other benefits include: smaller yards for less homeowner's maintenance and over a thousand acres of easily-accessible parks which are the number one attraction of the Stapleton neighborhood development.
Also available to Stapleton residents is a new recreation center, numerous pools, a Farmer's Market and a new LEED Silver Certified 28,000 sq ft Stapleton Library opening in 2011 – located at the corner of 29th Ave. and Roslyn St. just north of the Stapleton Town Center.
All of the roads throughout the Stapleton neighborhood are constructed using recycled aggregates from demolition of the old Stapleton Airport runways. Six million tons of concrete aggregates over 975 acres of runways has been recycled and used as roadbase throughout the Stapleton neighborhood, including Colorado State and municipal road projects.

What is a PUG raid? No, really, what is it? BWL (H) is more populated than the Alliance, but we are still extremely low pop server, and you never see PUG raids. Usually the closest you get is 2 10 man guilds will get together, and ask one of the 3 25 man guilds for alts. Thats not a PUG imo, especially since its usually planned.
I remember before TOC and the mass exodus from the server, people would be sitting in LFG and all of a sudden, there would be a 100% random PUG formed, and even though most of us knew each other (its bound to happen on such a small server) its not like it was planned.
I like the new LFG tool, but at the same time I feel like its made my server feel even smaller.

Last Saturday I deleted, or deactivated if you want to get technical, my Facebook for pretty much a week. Tomorrow I get to reactivate it. I deleted/deactivated my account because my best friend, http://caiseecover.tumblr.com, did it tooo. It wasn't that bad at all, I barely thought about it and my life has been better. People should try deleting/deactivating their Facebooks for a little.
OH YEAH, FOLLOW HER, she's new :)
