So, as I get my stuff organized, I have come across an interesting unit. The Baden Dragoons. Swell looking lot they are. But here's the problem. I am happy to use the plastic Perry Dragoons as the base for the unit, but the helmet is completely wrong. So, I was thinking of taking the Raupenhelm from the Cuirassier box and cutting them down slightly to make them appropriate for the Baden unit.
Any thoughts?
I want the unit to look like this (although obviously with a lot more enthusiasm. I don't think this fellow has much left in him).
The Perry helmets look like this (on the left, with the fuzzy plumy-thing):
These are the Dragoons:

January 9, 2012
CSULB's current capital plan includes three phases of activity involving the PH 1 and PH 2 buildings. Due to budget uncertainties, all timelines are probable rather than firm.
PH 1 and 2 will be used primarily as surge space for occupants moved from the Liberal Arts Buildings
(LA) corridor to facilitate seismic and other upgrades to LA 2-4. A few programs and one academic
department will relocate permanently to the PH buildings in this phase as well. The budget for cosmetic
repairs in both PH 1 and 2 does not allow for any repairs or demolition in spaces not used for this surge
With LA upgrades complete, surge occupants will move back to LA locations and longer-term occupants,
primarily from the College of Liberal Arts will be relocated into the PH buildings.
The campus hopes to demolish one or both of the PH buildings or undertake a complete remodel project.
At this time, funding appears to be well into the future.
Based on staff recommendations, the Office of the Provost has assigned space which can be seen on the PH 1 Floor Plan. This assignment is for Phase 1 only. As we approach the end of Phase 1, we may entertain
requests for continued use but this is uncertain.
All assigned spaces shall be maintained properly. All storage shall meet fire and safety codes at all times. Hallways also shall meet fire and safety codes at all times, specifically by being kept clear.

Physique Frontier Episode 10: with Weight Loss Rebel Meg Brown
by Scott Tousignant · Filed Under: Lose Fat and Gain Muscle · Podcasts
Episode 10 of the Physique Frontier podcast features guest expert Meg Brown, leader of the Weight Loss Rebels.
This is a high energy, empowering, and VERY transparent discussion about what it really takes to sculpt the physique YOU desire… based on YOUR standards and YOUR lifestyle.
This has been a theme in recent weeks… as I've been receiving requests from my fellow Physique Artists… seeking honesty in the face of an industry that's been riddled with hype, false claims, misleading advice, and a lack of integrity.
I believe we have reached a turning point… an era where transparency and truth will give rise to self-EMPOWERMENT.
…and this is what the Physique Frontier podcast is really about!
We're in this journey together. I have just as much to learn from you and your experiences as you do mine. Today… I learned from Meg's experiences. She gave me food for thought… causing pause and reflection toward my role as a leader in the fitness industry.
Meg began her transformation journey in 2010 after giving birth to her son. After accepting a challenge from her trainer… she took the leap of faith and prepped for a bikini competition with the WBFF.
It was VERY interesting to hear how Meg's competition experience differed from mine. What she reveals may surprise you… yet at the same time… it may liberate you.
Here are a few of the topics Meg and I covered in our discussion…

Big Tobacco then, Global Warming Now
Big Tobacco then, Global Warming Now
Here's an October 1995 internal memo I came across written by someone at tobacco giant Philip Morris outlining all the "public policy grants" and the totals received by US think tanks and associations.
More than a few of the familiar names involved in the industry-funded war on climate science appear on this list, including:
Competitive Enterprise Institute - $200,000
Frontiers of Freedom - $10,000
Heartland Institute - $65,000
Heritage Foundation - $50,000
Hudson Institute - $25,000
National Center for Policy Analysis - $60,000
National Center for Public Policy Research - $50,000
National Association of Manufacturers - $130,000
Reason Foundation - $25,000
Who wants to bet this money wasn't for anti-smoking campaigns?
Udpate: and here's a list of the $3.9 million provided to think tanks and associations from Philip Morris in 1998 for "public policy" work.
Udpate 2: And here's a great tobacco industry memo outlining how to go about "building a successful front group coalition around a specific issue."
- Kevin Grandia's blog

"Who wants to bet this money wasn't for anti-smoking campaigns?"
Okay, I give up, Kevin. What was the money used for? You never actually get around to explaining the significance of any of this.
"National Association of Manufacturers - $138,000"
Reading the actual document, the figure is $130,000, not your inflated figure. What other sloppy mistakes have you made?
Also, in the case of this figure, the note right beside it gives a very big clue as to what the money was intended for -- "Corporate dues". Not much of a mystery there, is it?
Here's some of the other grants in the list you left out:
Police Research and Education Project - $25,000
Educational TV of South Carolina - $300,000
George Mason University School of Law - $85,000
Grocery Manufacturers of America - $583,000 ("Corporate dues")
Kevin, I don't know what diabolical schemes George Mason University School of Law and the Grocery Manufacturers of America are up to, but I bet they're not running anti-smoking campaigns either!
(And that goes double for South Carolina Educational TV. No wonder the Cookie Monster now has a butt hanging out of his mouth. We must think of the children!)
I found this while trying to look up the results to the ABEC CNN debate thing. Tobacco is willing to dump a lot of revenue into defeating such initiatives. I'm amused for a couple of reasons that aren't important here. Anyway, I thought it tied in well.

County officials want city to stick with E911 agreement
By JASON PATTERSON
Editor & Publisher
County officials said they're not sure if the city will break away from the joint E911 agreement, but they intend to hold the city to the contract until it expires.
"The city has a contract with us through September 30," and we expect a check of $15,000 each month until that time," Cobie Collins, president of the Board of Supervisors said Friday.

Educators at all levels are increasingly choosing alternatives to animal dissection to meet their students' needs in the classroom. These modern teaching methods—including interactive computer simulations and clay models—save animals' lives, cost less than animal dissection, are suitable for all students, and are more effective than animal dissection.
In nearly every comparative study ever published, students taught using non-animal methods such as interactive computer simulations tested as well as or better than their peers who were taught using animals for dissection and other animal-based exercises. Methods such as narrated software programs with physiology animations or well-labeled anatomical models allow students to learn more efficiently without being distracted by the gore of cutting up dead animals and trying to differentiate the discolored body parts. Using alternatives, each body system can be studied and virtually "dissected" repeatedly until students are confident with the material, unlike actual dissection in which each system is ablated and displaced and the specimen is discarded at the end of the lesson. Studies show that students prefer these alternatives and find them to be a more enjoyable learning tool.
Non-animal methods benefit educators by substantially lowering the cost and time associated with anatomy laboratories: Materials need only be purchased once and can be used indefinitely, and they omit the set-up and clean-up time associated with using animal specimens.
The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) and the Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) now approve the use of alternatives as complete replacements for animal dissection. The NSTA, HAPS, and the National Association of Biology Teachers also encourage teachers who do offer dissection to be responsive to students' objections to animal dissection and to be prepared to provide alternatives. Internationally, in 2011 the government of India issued guidelines banning dissection and experimentation on animals for teaching students and now requires the use of modern non-animal methods instead.
A thorough review of the scientific research on the educational, ethical, and economic benefits of non-animal science teaching methods is available in this informational brief.
Many teachers and schools have replaced animal dissection altogether, in favor of modern alternatives. At least 15 states and scores of individual districts and schools at all levels have laws or policies to ensure that students in classes that don't replace dissection are given the option to learn biology by instead using one of the many humane alternatives available. If your state or school is not among those that guarantee students' right to choose, request an educator dissection pack from TeachKind. This pack will provide you with information on alternatives to dissection and advice about changing school policy.

Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of October 8, 2007
Jack and Sharon enjoyed a romantic morning together at home. Meantime,
Brad's "anonymous" tabloid story about Nicholas and Sharon kissing appeared
in the paper. At Crimson Lights, Daniel was aghast to read the story. He
immediately found Nick at Newman and confronted him about cheating on
Phyllis. Nick explained that Phyllis already knew about the kiss ... Jack
horrified when he got a call about the story and demanded that Sharon be
left alone. Sharon tried to figure out who wanted to humiliate her.
Daniel visited Phyllis in jail and told her about the tabloid story. Phyllis
was furious. Daniel wondered if she is angry with Nick, but she said that
she's forgiven her husband. She added that she's worried about Jack.
Paul and Maggie discussed the Ji Min case at the GCAC. David interrupted
them and implied that Jack had reason to stop Ji Min from doing his
interview. Later, Paul filled Cane in on the Clear Springs investigation,
advising him to lay low.
Victoria and J.T. awakened in each other's arms and looked forward to
enjoying their future together as an engaged couple. She was grateful to
have him in her life — while he looked forward to being a father.
Later, they
went out for breakfast, but J.T. became distracted when he spied one of the
contractors he believes is involved in a kick-back scam. Victoria wished
J.T. had a less potentially dangerous job.
Nikki visited Victor at Newman and asked if they could keep the news of
their divorce private so that Clear Springs wouldn't be affected. Victor
coldly refused. Soon after, he confided in Neil about his and Nikki's split.
Neil expressed his regret. Meanwhile, Nikki sadly confided in David about
how heartless Vic is being. David believed that Victor is also upset about
the divorce but is better at hiding his feelings. He also suggested that
Nikki ask Victor for an extension on her payment.... Victor was pleased when
he realized that, thanks to his private drilling company, he'd profit at
Clear Springs, no matter what happened in his personal life.... Victoria
later noticed David shaking hands with the man whom J.T. suspected was
involved in a Clear Springs scam.... Nikki asked Neil and Victor for an
extension, but Victor turned her down.
At Newman, Sharon and Brad ran into each other in the break room. Brad
mentioned the article, but she asked not to discuss it. Brad pouted when she
left to be with Jack.... Phyllis called Nick at work to talk about the
tabloid. They both concluded that Brad was the one who leaked the story.
Phyllis also put some of the blame on Sharon, but Nick reminded her that he
was responsible, too, for kissing Sharon. When Phyllis demanded details of
the kiss, Nick replied that he thought they were "past it." Phyllis
explained that she earned the right to ask all the questions she wants.
After, Victor advised Nick to try to stay under the radar. Nick replied that
he'd feel better if Phyllis were out of prison. Later, Nick confronted Brad
about the tabloid story, but Brad denied leaking anything. Their argument
escalated until Neil broke it up.... Jack suggested to Sharon that he give
up his Senate seat, but Sharon didn't want him to quit. They agreed to
continue being a team and went out to lunch together. At the GCAC, a
reporter asked Jack about Sharon and Nick's kiss. Jack responded by kissing
Sharon and declaring that he loves his wife.
Maggie approached Jack at the GCAC and asked to again speak with Jack about
the Ji Min investigation. When he refused, she suggested he call his
attorney. "

At Crimson Lights, Lily happily informed Devon that she received a good
grade on an exam. They decided to celebrate by having "ice cream night."
Meanwhile at Newman, Neil invited Karen to their family get-together. Back
at the
coffeehouse, Cane gave Lily a book on Australia for her "report." Devon blew
her cover by stating that she's not taking anthropology; she quickly amended
that she's taking it the next semester. After Cane stepped away, Lily reamed
out Devon for exposing her. Later, Lily showed the gift to Colleen. Unlike
Devon, she approved and stated that Cane obviously thinks about Lily. Later,
at ice cream night, Lily and Devon were upset to learn that Karen was
joining them. Things became even more uncomfortable when Karen arrived
wearing a wild leopard-pattern hat that looked like one Drucilla owned.
Karen and Neil realized that Karen had purchased it at the thrift store
where he'd dropped off Dru's things — and that it was, in fact, Dru's
After, the four gathered to play poker, but Karen wasn't very good at it,
and the kids weren't exactly nice to her. Karen was ready to head out, but
Neil assured her that he had a good time.... Lily and Devon made fun of
Karen behind her back, but before she left, Karen gave Dru's hat to Lily. A
touched Lily took it from her. Once Karen left, Neil reamed out his kids for
not making Karen feel welcome.
Jack assured Sharon that he had nothing to do with Ji Min's death. She
agreed that if the police really had anything on him, he'd be arrested
— and
suggested that he tell them that if they want him to help them, they have to
agree to help him. After, Jack met up with Katherine at the GCAC and asked
her to play the "innocent victim" if the Jabot scandal goes to court. Sharon
joined them, and Heather came to question Jack. Sharon and Jack insisted
that he had nothing to hide and there was no reason to prosecute him. He
agreed to speak about Ji Min if Heather can assure him that he won't be
prosecuted for Jabot.
Meanwhile, Maggie and Paul continued to hash out the case at the GCAC.
Maggie wondered if Jack and Ji Min had gotten into an argument that got out
of hand. After, she got a call that the lab found something on Ji Min's
body. Maggie then asked Jill several questions about whether she or Ji Min
owned a dog; a confused Jill replied that he was allergic to dogs. Maggie
remained cryptic. Later, Sharon and Jack were pleased when the D.A.'s office
called to say that they're agreeing with his deal regarding Ji Min and
Jabot. Soon after, Maggie and Heather came by the Abbott manse and again
questioned Jack about Ji Min; Maggie asked specifically how Jack managed to
persuade Ji Min not to do the interview. Jack admitted that he told Ji Min
he'd purchased land in Ji Min's homeland of Korea and was willing to use it
as leverage. Maggie tried to get Jack to confess that he became physical
with Ji Min. Sharon wondered why they were asking this; Heather explained
that Kim's body showed signs that he'd been in a fight with someone. While
they spoke, Maggie petted Noah's dog, Fisher. After Heather and Maggie left,
Jack regretted speaking with them, but Sharon reminded him that he's not
guilty. Jack was angry that the women were trying to trap him. Jack hoped
the case wouldn't go to trial.... Maggie informed Paul that she's testing a
sample she found against a sample they found on Ji Min's clothing. That
sample happened to be of ... dog hair.<
At Newman, Victoria happily informed Nicholas of her and J.T.'s engagement.
Meanwhile, Nikki stopped by Victor's office and informed him that she called
her lawyer. She wondered how they were going to tell their kids about their
divorce. Victor suggested getting it over with as soon as possible. After,
Nick and Victoria dined out at the GCAC. Nick told her that he wants to
return to being co-CEO so he can help her out at work. Vicky refused, but he
insisted that he wanted to do something for her and her baby.... David
called Nikki, but she didn't answer because she was hashing out her divorce
with Victor. Victor taunted her about her "paramour" calling. She urged her
estranged husband to keep things civil in public.
Paul congratulated J.T. on his engagement, but noted that it was very
sudden. J.T. insisted that his and Vicky's relationship is different from
his past ones. Later, David met up with Paul and J.T. to discuss Clear
Springs, and the detectives played up their "being at odds" act. When J.T.
and David were alone, David wondered if Victor had sent Paul to keep an eye
on them since both were involved with Newman women. After, J.T. told Paul
that Chow is a "shark."
At the GCAC dining room, Adrian showed Colleen an update on his book. He was
interrupted by the dean, who invited him to return to his teaching post at
the university. Colleen reminded him that they can't date if he's working at
the college. Brad then arrived at the restaurant and said hello to his
daughter. She admitted that she was stressed out over Adrian's meeting with
the dean. Brad surprised her by giving her back the money for her college
tuition. He promised to not withdraw his financial support, even if he
doesn't agree with every decision she makes.... Adrian confessed to the Dean
that he's dating Colleen.... Colleen was so nervous about Adrian that she
accidentally spilled a drink on a patron's suit. She apologized, but the guy
wouldn't let up. Heather, who was also dining there, intervened and used her
status as DA to get the guy to back off. Later, Adrian told her that the
dean is okay with him teaching at GCU and dating a student, as long as
Colleen isn't in his particular section. After, Adrian thanked Heather for
helping out Colleen. He was taken aback when Heather informed him that she's
taking his class.
Nick invited his parents to join him and his sister for lunch. Victor and
Nikki soon arrived and immediately Victoria told them about her engagement.
They insisted that they were happy for her, even though they were having a
difficult time hiding their sadness over the divorce. Nick revealed that
he's returning to Newman as a co-CEO. Victor then dropped the bomb: He and
Nikki are splitting. Neither Vicky nor Nick was surprised, but wondered why
they'd given up on their relationship. Nikki explained it was exhausting for
them to keep going; Victor reminded them that Nikki cheated with David.
Nikki retaliated that Victor had abandoned her; Vic called this a
"simple-minded" statement. The kids looked on in alarm as their parents'
argument escalated. Victor soon gave up and stormed out, while Nikki broke
down in tears. She wished she could feel angry rather than sad, and admitted
that Victor's controlling nature had once comforted her. Nick went after his
father and invited him to build a cradle for Victoria with him. A confused
Vic said he didn't have time to do it, but Nick kept going on about it.
Somehow this turned into a metaphor for how Nikki is a "tree" who's stood by
her husband. Victor didn't want to discuss her. Nick warned him not to cut
off everyone who loves him.
At Newman, Victoria and Nick discussed the last time their parents divorced.
Brad interrupted them and made disparaging remarks about her engagement to
J.T. Carlton warned her that if the baby's his, he's raising him.... Nikki
told David that the kids know about the divorce.... Victoria and Nick paid
another visit to their dad at work, urging him to be respectful to their
mother. They left when Nikki arrived and called J.T. and Phyllis to say they
loved them. Meanwhile, Victor had harsh words for Nikki: "How does it make
you feel having failed in business and as a wife?" he asked.
From prison, Phyllis called Nicholas to wish him a happy birthday. Jana felt
bad for Phyllis having to be away from Nick. She promised to make the day
special for Phyllis, but Phyll didn't want her "help." After, Nick brought
by Summer dressed in an adorable lavender ensemble and matching beret. The
baby began to cry when Phyllis held her.
Kevin went to see Michael so he could help Kevin with Jana. Instead, he
found Gloria there, who complained to him about Jeffrey. Meanwhile, Maggie
met with Jeff at the GCAC and told him that she's trying to finish solving
the moisturizer case for his late brother William. Jeffrey was intrigued.
Maggie wondered why he's so interested in the case; he explained that Will
had sent him a secret sign, indicating that he needed help with something.
Maggie promised to solve the case.... Gloria made some calls to see if Jeff
was still in town. She believed that Jeff was playing a game with her, but
Kevin believed that if he knew about her tainting the cream, he would've
already turned her in to the police. Glo was determined to find out why
Bardwell was in town and what he wanted from her.
From Crimson Lights, Colleen called Adrian to check in, but he couldn't
speak long because he needed to get to a department meeting at GCU. After,
Heather ran into Colleen at the coffeehouse and praised Adrian's teaching
abilities. Colleen offered to let Heather borrow one of her textbooks. On
their way out, the ladies ran into Michael and Lauren. Heather informed him
that the ruling on Phyllis's appeal would be that day.... Later, Heather
stopped by Colleen and Adrian's place and noticed a figurine on the desk.
Heather explained that it looked like one that belonged to her roommate,
Macey, who'd killed herself. She confirmed this when she noticed a chip in
it which was exactly like one that was on Macey's statue. Soon, Adrian
returned home and explained that Macey's parents had given it to him after
she died as a way of thanking him. After Heather left, Adrian admitted to
Colleen that he still feels guilty over Macey's death and that he kept the
figurine as a reminder to always do the right thing.
Michael faxed Phyllis, who was still visiting with Nick and Summer. She had
a difficult time containing her excitement over possibly being released.
"It's going to be a really happy birthday or a really crappy birthday," she
told Nick, being careful to mouth "crappy" for Summer's benefit. Phyllis
admitted that she spends most of her day in prison sitting and hoping, and
that if she lost, she'd have no more hope. Back at the coffeehouse, Michael
confided to Lauren that he doesn't have much hope for Phyllis getting
out.... Phyllis wanted Nick to be there with her when she got the results of
the appeal, but the prison guard wouldn't let him stay. After, Nick told
Lauren that Phyllis is freaked out. He feared that having Summer visit made
things worse for her by reminding her how infrequently she'd see her
daughter.... Michael met with Phyllis and tried to be realistic, but
Kevin visited Jana in jail. He informed her that he's planning to put up a
Web site explaining how her tumor affected her and made her kill Carmen.
Jana still felt guilty for murdering someone.
Gloria and Jeff met at the GCAC. He confided in her that while he and Will
didn't get along when they were younger, they reunited as adults. Will then
stole Miranda from him and ended up marrying her —— which ruined the
brothers' relationship.
Lauren, Nick and Michael anxiously waited for news on Phyllis's appeal. As
the waited, Fen began walking. Michael grabbed the video recorder, but a fax
then came through. He held it up as the others eagerly looked on.
At the prison, Michael sadly informed Phyllis that her appeal was denied.
She became hysterical. "I cannot stay in here another day," she cried. "I
have to get out of here, please." Michael tried to remain optimistic for
her, and told her that Nicholas is trying to work something out, as well....
Nicholas stopped by Victor's office and begged him to get Phyllis out of
prison.... Michael blamed Jack for Phyllis's predicament. Jack visited her
in jail and promised to fight with her. Phyllis admitted to him that Victor
offered to get her released, provided she testified against Jack. Jack
replied that he'd take a fall for her, but she didn't want to betray a
friend. The prison chaplain, Reverend Anderson, then came to visit her. Jack
was unnerved that Phyllis knew the same chaplain who'd worked with John on
his will (which Jack tricked John into altering) when John was in prison.
Colleen went to Adrian's class and gave him a nice "welcome back to
teaching" gift. Heather then chatted with her about artists. Heather wanted
to ask Adrian some more questions, but he blew her off.
At the GCAC, Nikki lamented to David about her divorce and the problems with
Clear Springs. David suggested she relax and spend the day with him. He
opened up to her about his past relationship problems, and promised to
support Nikki. Later at Newman, Nikki babysat Summer. Nick stood in the
doorway and watched them together, a pained expression on his face. He
eventually interrupted and asked his mother why she took Summer out of
daycare; Nikki explained that she doesn't spend enough time alone with her.
Nikki assured him that she wasn't talking trash about Phyllis. Nick allowed
his daughter to spend more time with her grandmother. After, they discussed
Victor. Nikki feared what would happen with her businesses now that she and
Victor were splitting.
Nick questioned Victor about his treatment of Nikki. Victor noted that Nikki
went against his wishes when she ran for Senate and then cheated on him.
"Does it still have to end in a bitter divorce?" asked Nick. "You bet,"
Victor replied.
Colleen informed Jack that Brad is now paying for her tuition again, and
will reimburse Jack. Jack was suspicious. He then told her that Ashley is
engaged, which was a nice shout-out to the character who is indeed engaged
to Ridge on B&B.
Heather joined Paul for a cup of coffee at Crimson Lights. She then called
Macey's parents, explaining that she needs to ask them something. After,
she confided in Paul how she was jealous of Macey's close-knit family.
Heather revealed that her mother never remarried after dealing with
Heather's abusive stepdad. She also told Paul that her stepfather even hit
her once. Paul was devastated when his daughter noted her regret that her
real father (who unbeknownst to her is Paul) never got to know her. Later,
Heather spoke with Macey's parents and told them about seeing the figurine
on Adrian's desk. They revealed that they hadn't given it to him.... Paul
filled in Maggie on his talk with Heather. He regretted not being there for
Heather.... Adrian and Colleen fooled around at home. They were interrupted
when Heather stopped by and told them what Macey's parents had said.
Jana met with David at the prison. David admitted that he was reluctant to
meet with her after what she did to Carmen. Jana noted that the anniversary
of Carmen's death is in a few weeks, and asked if he could help her contact
the family. David wondered why she targeted Carmen; Jana explained that her
illness took over her. David recalled how devastated he'd been when he got
the news. Jana wanted to turn her life around to make up for what she'd
done. Later, Jana confided in Phyllis that even though she was sick, it
doesn't change the fact that she murdered someone.
Michael, Jack, Nikki, Nick and Victor met at Newman to discuss how to get
Phyllis released. Nikki suggested getting Phyllis a new lawyer, but Michael
insisted on staying on as the attorney. Michael then suggested that they
find a way to get Phyllis out on work release so that she can work on Clear
Springs. Nikki urged Victor to do it for Summer. Later, Nick returned to the
prison and assured his wife that he's doing whatever he can to get her out
of there. Phyllis told him to keep Summer away from Nikki, but Nick
explained that it might just be Nikki who helps get her released.

Customizing SMF > Building Your Community and other Forum Advice
The myspace technique!!
I thought of using myspace.com as a way to earn my forum extra traffic was quite cool, if anyone else likes the sound of this idea and wants some one to add as a 'friend' then you can add me! www.myspace.com/onfireforums :D
quite an interesting idea, I set up a myspace group for a forum I work on, its been quite succesfull.
Pagan Forum Myspace Group
I really need to update mine, but yeh I like your profile look :)
:) thanks mate. I've added you as a friend...
This is the number one way to promote arcade websites. Statistics have shown! ;)
I have a friend with 2500+ friends, and once a week he puts out a bulletin advertising my arcade to all his friends. It really helps. Plus, on each game on my arcade, there's a code to copy and paste the game to your myspace, which people also love.
The reason its so awesome for arcades is because everyone looking at MySpace has too much time on their hands. People with too much time are your main target for advertising something like an arcade.
Yeah i'd agree, I think for most forums, people with time are a good target.
any chance he could do a bulletin for my site ??? ;D

A beguiling gem of a Provençal red, beloved by countless wine journalists and Mr Yapp Jnr. This organic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Grenache manages to fuse Bordeaux and the Rhône, Old World and New in an intense bouquet of garrigue berries, a palate of ripe cassis fruit and fine-grained tannins.
Cabernet's dominance is evident in the sweet casssis and spice fragrance, and the taut, dry tannin. Syrah lends savory richness mid-palate. Elegant, medium-bodied with balanced freshening acid. 16 Remington Norman

WILLIAMSTOWN - Through July 2013, The Harrison Gallery will exhibit a collection of Japanese pottery representing three generations of artists and spanning nearly 80 years. The pieces reflect philosophical and stylistic elements of the Japanese Mingei movement that began in the early 1920s.
Mingei, which is an abbreviation for minshu-teki kogei, or "crafts of the people," is an aesthetic philosophy that emphasizes the beauty of everyday objects.
Invented by a small group of Japanese artists and intellectuals in the 1920s, it is a harkening back to the time before the industrial revolution, when teapots and other household objects in Japan were made by hand, often in large quantity and by anonymous craftspeople.
The sixty or so pieces included in the exhibit are on loan from the Pucker Gallery in Boston.
Over the years, the Pucker Gallery has developed a relationship with several well-known Mingei potters living in the village of Mashiko, about an hour north of Tokyo, where most of the pieces in the exhibit were created.
"The Pucker Gallery's collection is extraordinary," said Jo Ellen Harrison, owner of the Harrison Gallery, who lived in Boston for 20 years and apprenticed with Bernard Pucker, the gallery's owner, before coming to Williamstown.
"They have Korean potters, American potters, Welsh potters. This [show] tells the story of the Mingei.
Shoji Hamada, one of the founders of Mingei, whose work is included in the show, was a close friend of Bernard Leach, an influential British potter and art teacher, who grew up in Shanghai and spent much of his life in Japan.
In 1921, Leach invited Hamada to St. Ives in England to join him in creating pottery using techniques similar to those of the common potters whose work Leach and Hamada both admired. They built their own kiln and Hamada spent two years at St. Ives, striving for his ideal synthesis of beauty and function.
When Hamada finally returned to Japan, he moved to the village of Mashiko, where potters had lived for thousands of years, and where the local clay was ideal for ceramics.
Over the years, with Hamada leading the way, Mashiko developed into a community of more than 350 potters, mostly working in the Mingei style. With its many shops and kilns, Mashiko has become a popular destination for pottery collectors around the world.
What the Mingei artists take from the ideal of the 'unknown craftsman,' Pucker said, is "the admiration and respect for those things that were both functional and had a beauty Š if you look at the work itself, it also has an almost rustic quality to it - an earthy quality Š the beauty derived from the fact that they also had a function."
The show at Harrison includes one piece by Shoji Hamada; works by his son, Shinsaku Hamada, who is now 83 years old; and his grandson, Tomoo Hamada, who is 44. The work of one of Shoji Hamada's students, Tatsuzo Shimaoka, will also be included, as well as the work of one of Shimaoka's students, Ken Matsuzaki.
"There'll be the three generations, but in terms of artistic tradition, not only familial tradition," Pucker said.
Pucker explained that families of potters in Japan normally focus on "creating works for the Japanese tea ceremony," and that some families' involvement in pottery goes back thirteen generations.
The tea ceremony became popular in Japan in the 1500s and includes elements of many eastern religions. The process of brewing, serving and tasting the tea is intended to be a practice in mindfulness and mutual respect.
In Japan, said Harrison, "There's that whole element of the sacred in everyday processes. The tea ceremony would be the best example Š where making tea is almost a spiritual practice." When Mingei potters create their work, she said, they "understand that it's going to be something that's in this revered process."
To honor and preserve their contribution to Japanese culture, the Japanese government designated Shoji Hamada and Shimaoka as Living National Treasures, the highest form of recognition for artists or groups of artists in Japan. During their lives, each artist received an annual stipend to continue working and teaching.
Similar themes and techniques can be traced through the work of all of the potters in the show, Harrison said.
The use of wood-fired kilns, for example, contributes to the rustic quality of the work, since wood-firing is a much less predicable method than gas-firing. Some artists also incorporate fluting, or shallow grooves on the surface of their work, by pressing rope or other everyday materials into the clay, and they create patterns by using wax, which repels the glaze and leaves bare spots on the final work.
Most of the pieces in the show are modest-looking, with subdued, earthy colors and slightly asymmetrical shapes - revealing the influence not only of folk art but of naturalism.
The work of some of the younger artists in the show is more experimental and complex. Tomoo Hamada, for example, incorporates elaborate three-dimensional features, including window-like cutouts, and combines multiple colors and glazes. "So he's kind of pushing the envelope," Harrison said.
Pucker pointed out that being a Mingei potter does not depend on following a specific set of techniques. Many of the pieces in the show were made in conventional gas-fired kilns, he said, but still retain the Mingei character. "So it's not determined by the technique, it's more determined by the intention and the quality of the creator of the work."
One thing that becomes clear when comparing the styles of these different artists is that the boundaries of their tradition are not so easy to define.
Hamada and the other early Mingei artists sought a return to an earlier mode of craft working, characterized not by individual aspirations, but by the regions and communities in which the workers lived. Mingei has nevertheless developed in a culture that values the artist - above all else - as an individual.
Within that context, it seems Mingei came to be defined not by particular styles or methods, but by the lifestyles and intentions of the artists themselves.
"The basic underlying mantra of the mingei movement Š was you cannot create a beautiful pot unless you yourself are a beautiful person," Pucker said. "And although it sounds somewhat simplistic or naïve, the reality is that each of the men that we've worked with who are part of that tradition really have behaved in their inner personal life with a great sense of integrity and focus."
"So there's a sense of abstracting from the anonymous creator of a work to themselves," he said, "and that abstraction has to do with how one lives their life, not whether or not they sell something or don't sell something, but do they do the work they do with a sense of purpose and integrity. And I think that is what informs and combines the two - both the unknown craftsman work and these particular potters."
As a historical and artistic record, "Points of Connection" offers an uncommon look at the development of the Mingei style from within it's core community, and presents evidence for how the movement has been transmitted from parent to child, teacher to student, and from east to west.

Categories:WRC, SWRC
Most Recent Winner:Sebastien Loeb (2011)
The opening two events of the WRC season couldn't be more contrasting. Following the high-speed blast through the frozen Swedish forests, WRC crews make the first of two visits to the American continent for the fast rock-strewn stages of Mexico where high ambient temperatures and altitudes provide the main challenge.
A new addition to the WRC schedule in 2004, the Leon-based event is famed for its compact route and spectacular ceremonial start in the city of Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The start regularly attracts thousands of fans who will get to savour an extra treat this year with the first running of the Guanajuato Street Stage.
Measuring a little more than one kilometre in length, the stage will run through tunnels and high wall-lined cobbled streets with all the action recorded on a close circuit TV system.
But it's the Sierra de Lobos and Sierra de Guanajuato mountains that will continue to host the bulk of the stage action. The high-altitude tests make for spectacular viewing with a mixture of mountain peaks and flat open valleys. The altitude has its downside, however, as the engines struggle to breathe in the thin air and suffer a drop in power of approximately 20 per cent. The road surface is dry and sandy, but with rocks getting pulled onto the road caution is very much the watchword.
Like Guanajuato, Leon will also host a street stage on a temporary course close to the indoor service park. The Leon Racing Circuit is also back on the itinerary although the stages will now be run at night to appeal to those fans unable to watch the action during the day.
The Guanajuato Street Stage gets its first airing immediately following the ceremonial start on Thursday evening. Action at the Leon Racing Circuit will take place at night to appease those rally fans unable to take the day off work.

One of the perks of using electronic cigarettes is that you can smoke virtually anywhere – at home, on your desk, inside your car, or even in public places. If you are going on a vacation, e-cigarettes are the perfect travel companion.
Electronic cigarettes like green smoke and v2 cigs are very convenient to use. You don't have to keep excusing yourself to take a quick puff in a designated area. With your ecig on hand, you can smoke whenever you like without fear of offending anyone. If you don't currently have an ecig you can get discounts on the top brands. (see helpful resources below)
Ecig Resources -
northwestwatch.org: For awesome ecig news & reviews
righteousporkchop.com: For top notch ecig reviews and offers like the limited time Blu cigs coupon. or the popular V2 cigs coupon check em out.
E-cigarettes make road trips a lot more fun. If you are traveling with nonsmokers, you and your passengers have to deal with a lot of discomfort. They will be annoyed with all that smoke and ash blowing in their faces, not to mention the heap of cigarette butts lying around. You have to crack the window open every now and then to let smoke out and fresh air in.
It seems that your only options are to wait for the next stop or leave roadside litter. E-cigarettes allow drivers to vape cleanly and conscientiously by eliminating all of the downsides of smoking on the road and giving them the freedom to get that nicotine craving whenever they want. And with USB cigarettes that work straight out of any car cigarette lighter, passengers can also enjoy vaping during a nonstop trip.
Some ships allow ecigs on board so you can vape while on a cruise. E-cig use is generally not allowed on aircrafts even though they are smokeless and harmless to other passengers.
Once you get to your destination, you face another set of smoking restrictions. Many hotels prohibit guests from smoking inside the room, at the lobby, by the pool, and in the dining area. With e-cigarettes you no longer need to step out to the balcony or garden to take a smoking break.
If you want to go sightseeing around town, you can enjoy a quick puff from time to time without having to look for a lighter or an ashtray. Carry a rechargeable or disposable ecig with you anywhere you go so you don't have to worry about upsetting non-smokers on the train, bus, or elevators.
The best part of traveling is getting to enjoy the great outdoors and taking in a breath of fresh air away from the polluted city. Swim, trek, hike, or stroll without having to fill your lungs with smoke and tar.
Craving for a smoke while on the beach or mountain trail? Do it with a clear conscience knowing you will not be contributing to the massive amount of cigarette butts that have ruined our natural resources.
When packing your e-cigs for a trip, make sure you have enough batteries and cartridges. One flavor cartridge is equivalent to roughly a pack of cigarettes so you know how many cartomizers to stack in your carry case for a quick trip out of town or a long holiday vacation back home. The USB charger is a traveling essential, but you also might want to throw in a wall/car adapter and a portable charging case in case your battery dies unexpectedly.

Recently, Tunkel asked for advice on how to implement GTD within Lotus Notes:
Jay's question is a good one and I get asked this question often. GTD is a powerful methodology, while Lotus Notes and the Treo 600 represent powerful technologies. It is only natural, therefore, that folks should want to combine these. The benefits of this combination are powerful. I know; because I have done this for myself and for my clients.Has anyone gone through the complete process of implementing GTD on Lotus Notes? My selection of tools (company supplied) are Notes 6.0+ with a custom corporate mail template, and a Palm Treo 600.
Here are the steps that I usually recommend to my clients, who want to implement GTD within Lotus Notes:
STEP ONE: Master the process of in-box management using GTD
I have had many people ask me if they can simply install my eProductivity template for Lotus Notes to immediately become more productive. My response is always, "probably not." Without a solid foundation in the GTD methodology, the most a custom template might do for someone is make it easy for them to quickly get their in-box to zero by filing stuff out of sight and out of mind. This is hardly a productive advantage. On the other hand, if someone has a good grasp of the fundamentals of GTD and knows how to use the Processing and Organizing Workflow diagram from memory, then they are probably ready to proceed to step two.
STEP TWO: Configure Lotus Notes for maximum efficiency
There is a lot that you can do to optimize Lotus Notes for us with the GTD methodology. In my eProductivity seminars, I show my clients several things that they can do right away to save 10-15 minutes (or more) each day as they manage their email, actions, and projects in Notes.
Here are some quick highlights:
1. Change what you put in front of you
Use the Notes Welcome Page to put actionable information in front of you. Many people overlook the fact that Lotus Notes has a Welcome Page that can be easily customized by the end-user. I'll try to post some screen shots, and perhaps a video clip on this soon.
2. Organize your categories to help you manage your actions by context.
You can do this quickly and without any changes to your current software. Many people in this forum have offered examples of the categories that they use. I started out with a long list, but over the years I have trimmed it down to suit my basic contexts. Here's my current list:3. Customize the Notes To-do form for action management
- Projects
At Phone
At Home
At Office
At Computer
Waiting For
You may want to take a quick look at my recent blog entry on this topic: Lotus Notes for Action Management
4. Consider customizing your in-box views to organize your actions by context
This step, and step #3 require a greater knowledge of Lotus Notes and many folks will not want to do this without some assistance. If you are looking for ideas and would like to see what I have done, there are some screen shots on my site.
STEP THREE: Extend Lotus Notes to your PDA for maximum mobility
There are many products that will let you sync your PIM information (E-Mail, Calendar, and To-Do) with your PDA. Cadenza mNotes has already been mentioned by one member of this forum. I have been using Pylon products since 1997 and I have been pleased. Either of these products will allow you to sync your PDA, including your Treo 600, wirelessly. There has been some discussion lately as to the merits of processing email on a wireless device. This morning, I added my two cents on this subject. Before I leave this step, I would like to share what I think is a powerful future of iAnywhere: In addition to a full web interface that I can access from anywhere, the iAnywhere product allows me to sync to multiple devices concurrently. This allows me to use any device that is convenient to me at the time. I live in an area with no cellular coverage, so this feature allows me to use my Tungsten C (or PocketPC) at home, and I can use something like a Treo 600, PocketPC Phone, or even a Blackberry on the road. I do not need to worry about keeping all of my devices in sync -- the software does that for me. Here's how I did this.
STEP FOUR: Take a look at everything else that you do in Lotus Notes and simplify it
It may sound contradictory for me to outline a number of technical steps and then to tell you that you should simplify. I have found that as I streamline my systems, greater levels of complexity are required in order to achieve the simplicity that I now enjoy. For example, I used to have to perform multiple steps to convert an e-mail into a project or an action. Now, I have an agent that does this for me with one click. I used to spend a great deal of time cutting and pasting between various Notes databases. Each time I did this, I had to cut; open the target database, paste, edit the subject and category, and save. Now, I can do all of the above using a filing agent that automates the process.
STEP FIVE: Do a workflow diagram of how you work and look for areas that can be improved
When I work with clients, I pull out a pad of graph paper and a box of colored pens and we map their workflow, taking a look at the areas of Information, Communication, and Action. Once we have this documented in visual form, we follow the lines to look for problem areas and areas that we can improve upon. Sometimes, technology is the answer; other times, a change in procedure (or habit) may be all that is required. In all cases, the benefits are significant.
I do not want to overwhelm you into thinking that you have to do all -- or even any -- of the steps that I have outlined to be productive with Lotus Notes. (I do not get to post to this forum as often as I would like, and Jay's question pushed my hot button on several topics that I am passionate about.)
For me, the above steps and tools have all had a profound impact on how I work, but none as much as learning the GTD methodology itself. I have been showing clients how to use technology to improve their productivity for two decades. I've been working with Lotus Notes for twelve years and using the GTD methodology within Notes for over ten. (Back then, it was called Managing Actions and Projects, or MAP for short.) I am always looking for new ways to push the envelope, and I will always consider myself a student, continuously looking for ways to increase my knowledge and experience so that I can better serve my clients.
If you choose the things from my list that make sense to you, and start small, you will start seeing productivity gains right away.
What started out to be a simple post has already turned into an essay, and I am just getting warmed up. I guess I'll save the rest for the future. I need to go and get some things done myself, like process my in-box.
I plan to share more details and screen shots, tips, and tricks, and even some videos over on eProductivity.NET. The site is not yet ready for launch as I am still working on populating the content. If anyone wants to contact me off-list, I would be happy to send them an update when the site is ready.
In the mean time, if you still want to learn more about how I personally use GTD within Lotus Notes,you can visit my web site. There is a narrative and a collection of screen shots that show how I have implemented many of the things that I have described here.
I hope that this information is helpful to anyone who might be using Notes and GTD, and I wish you the best of success!

General Community > Scripting Help
noob php question
I want to learn PHP as i have a mod in mind and feel it would just be a good thing to know.
I'm working through the lessons at this site.
I did not get far before I had trouble understanding something. ;)
At this page...
they give this code at the bottom as a example.
--- Code: ---<html>
if ($d=="Fri")
echo "Have a nice weekend!";
elseif ($d=="Sun")
echo "Have a nice Sunday!";
echo "Have a nice day!";
--- End code ---
I want to make sure I understand each lesson 100% before I move on. I have played around with the code in MAMP using my editor.
The one thing I feel I don't really understand is this...
--- Code: ---date("D")
--- End code ---
Is that something that's built into php or what?
Any addition info you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
date() is a built-in function. See http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php . That URL should be stamped on your forehead if you're going to do any PHP work. "D" says "return the three letter day of the week".
Yes, now I understand, thanks!
I had just found this before reading your reply.
--- Quote ---date() Formats a local time/date
--- End quote ---
But I was still left with the question of what "D" was doing.
After reading your reply it all makes sense now.
The link you posted was very helpful, thanks again.
--- Quote from: ApplianceJunk on May 27, 2012, 02:40:52 PM ---But I was still left with the question of what "D" was doing.
--- End quote ---
quote from http://w3schools.com/php/func_date_date.asp:
--- Quote ---D - A textual representation of a day (three letters)
--- End quote ---
That's why you check in if:
--- Quote ---if ($d=="Fri")
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---elseif ($d=="Sun")
--- End quote ---
The Craw:
W3Schools really isn't the best tutorial site IMO. A lot of their code examples are not good, so they're more or less encouraging "bad practice". Tizag is slightly better. The PHP manual itself is the best, albeit slightly factual. Reading the comments in the PHP manual is often helpful.
Good: http://www.w3schools.com/
Better: http://tizag.com/
Best: http://www.php.net/manual/en/langref.php

Francis Murphy Didn't Want His Ex-Girlfriend To "See" Other Men - Sentenced After Gouging Out Woman's Eyeball, Throwing It From Balcony
Edinburgh, Scotland (The Weekly Vice) - Francis Murphy, a 26-year-old Scottish man was jailed after he gouged out his former girlfriend's eyeball and threw it over a balcony.
According to police, Murphy used a metal coat hanger last May to gouge out the eye of his former girlfriend, 27-year-old Natalie Farrell. He then threw her eye from an eight floor balcony of her home.
Investigators say that Farrell ended her 10-year relationship with Murphy and found another boyfriend.
Murphy came to her home, attacked her new boyfriend, then grabbed her and stated that he was going to take her eye out because he never wanted her to look at other men again with both eyes..
Murphy tried to get his thumb and two fingers into her eye to pull it out, but that didn't work so he went for a coat hanger. He then strangled her until she blacked out and proceeded to take out her eye.
When Farrell regained conciseness, her eye was on her cheek hanging by the optic nerve. Murphy then ripped it off and threw it over the balcony. Friends who witnessed the incident found it lying in the street and gave it to paramedics. They were not able to re-attach Farrell's eye. She is still being assessed for an artificial eye.
Murphy's defense attorney blamed his actions on tangled emotions, drugs, and drinking - stating that Murphy was struggling to come to terms with what had happened.
Judge John Morris, who sentenced Murphy, described his crimes as "almost medieval in their barbarity, which would make any right-thinking person recoil in horror."
Murphy was jailed on charges of attempted murder. He was sentenced to 12 years.

you mean this guy's only gonna be 38 when he gets out?! nice work there Scotland. You fellas' should be gettin' severe medieval punishment brought back for bastards like this.

There aint nothin funny here, people, the man is scum and should have one of his own eyes ripped out. More biblical than medieval, but fitting nonetheless.

Police say they will keep an eye one him.
- November 24, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Seems to me that an appropriate punishment would have been to first remove his Johnson without the benefit of anesthesia and then chop off both hands the same way. THEN....hand down a life sentence. Who wants a sick bastard like this on the streets, even if its years down the road.
