Schedule II Controlled SubstancesSchedule III Controlled SubstancesSubstances in this schedule have a high potential for abuse which may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.Examples of Schedule II narcotics include: hydromorphone (Dilaudid®), methadone (Dolophine®), meperidine (Demerol®), oxycodone (OxyContin®, Percocet®), and fentanyl (Sublimaze®, Duragesic®). Other Schedule II narcotics include: morphine, opium, and codeine.Examples of Schedule II stimulants include: amphetamine (Dexedrine®, Adderall®), methamphetamine (Desoxyn®), and methylphenidate (Ritalin®).Other Schedule II substances include: amobarbital, glutethimide, and pentobarbital.Substances in this schedule have a potential for abuse less than substances in Schedules I or II and abuse may lead to moderate or low physical dependence or high psychological dependence.Examples of Schedule III narcotics include: combination products containing less than 15 milligrams of hydrocodone per dosage unit (Vicodin®), products containing not more than 90 milligrams of codeine per dosage unit (Tylenol with Codeine®), and buprenorphine (Suboxone®).Examples of Schedule III non-narcotics include: benzphetamine (Didrex®), phendimetrazine, ketamine, and anabolic steroids such as Depo®-Testosterone.
Generally, 5mg Percocet = 7.5mg Vicodin.
BTW, you can refill Vicodin (hydrocodone). You can't refill Percocet (oxycodone) at all, you always need a paper prescription. So in reality Percocet is more restricted (Schedule II vs Schedule III).
i prefer the hydrocodone. I had surgery and beforehand the dr gave me a Rx for 40 percocet. I politely asked for vicodin. he thought i was nuts, but it works for me!
i never understand it, but i get some patients who refuse opiates saying they don't like them to each his own.
Last summer I came down with a bad cold and ended up with my usual dry hacking cough. Luckily I had some old oxy's left from a dental procedure. They worked great as a cough suppressant and made me nice and tired at night. But on the flip side when I whacked my pinky finger with a mini sledgehammer the oxy's did nothing.
i honestly don't understand dentists who Rx opiates for root canal. They clearly don't understand the physiology behind the pain, and/or are lazy and don't want to get the phone calls later from the drug seekers claiming motrin doesn't work.
i won't send anyone i took a tooth out on away without them physically taking a vicodin or tyl #3 Rx from me because i DO NOT want to be bothered at 8 pm. Can't call that shit in like you used to.

Over the past two years, I've developed a relatively successful WordPress plugin. It started out as a hobby project, but now I'd like to try and turn it into a business.
About the plugin
- Checks the users' site for broken links, missing images, redirects.
- Currently free, open source. There is a floundering premium version (more on this later).
- Over 50 000 active users.
- About 200 new users per day.
Things I've considered or tried
Offer a premium version with extra features. I actually tried this. The resulting conversion rate was an abysmal 0.22%. This is most likely because the free version already meets the needs of the vast majority of users. Well, there is of course always room for improvement, but the latest user survey hasn't revealed any low-hanging fruit in that area - in fact, at least 50% of respondents say the plugin is "good enough" or "perfect" as is.
Remove some features from the free version to make the premium version more attractive. This might work, but it would definitely generate a strong backlash from the user-base.
Drop the free version altogether and go 100% paid. The backlash problem applies here, too. It would also mean losing most of the word-of-mouth advertising the free version gets.
Offer a premium version with guaranteed support. Judging by the results of past user surveys, support is not a major problem/requirement for this plugin. It probably wouldn't be a good selling point for the premium version.
Turn it into a SaaS. Not sure about this one. On the one hand, it would yield better performance and less false positives (i.e. by optimizing the code to work great in a known environment instead of "good enough" on many different servers). On the other, users dislike giving up control.
Monetize with Flattr (or another micropayment service). The low adoption rate of Flattr and similar services makes this impractical.
Bundle some third-party tracker/adware with the plugin. Shady. I was was offered this some time ago, and rejected.
What's your take on these options? What avenues of monetization have I missed?

Plumbing the Pits of Despair with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
One patient's story
Author: Betty Kovacs, MS, RD
Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
It took three years and three months, three MRI's, two x-rays, two EMG's, and nine health-care professionals for me to feel better. It was a journey that felt like forever with exhausting highs and lows. Each new doctor's appointment was entered into with hope and walked out of in despair. Those who were unable to diagnose my condition were able to make me think that it was all in my head. Fortunately, or unfortunately, my symptoms progressed and out of desperation I gave one last doctor a chance. That last chance saved my sanity and gave me back my life.
My symptoms started off somewhat vague. I had taken on a new position at work that required a lot of time on the computer. I began having pain on my right side in my neck and shoulder with tingling in my hand at the end of the day. I felt a lump on my cervical spine that I assumed to be the cause of the symptoms. I went to an orthopedic surgeon who sent me for an MRI to rule out a tumor. I was assured that he had never seen a tumor in that area, but that did not ease the heart-wrenching fear of a possible tumor. I soon learned that I did not have a tumor and that I was too claustrophobicto ever get back in an MRI machine. I was so relieved that I decided to wait and see if the symptoms went away on their own.
For the next year, I got massages and stopped lifting weightsto help with my pain. My outer three fingers on my hand had begun getting cold at the end of the day. As time went on, they would get cold after a few hours. I couldn't tell if the shoulder painwas causing the hand pain or vice versa. I went to a leading hand surgeon to figure out what was going on. The diagnosis was discomforting. I was told that this was simply a case of poor posture and that physical therapy (PT) would correct it. I have been tall my entire life, so my posture is a sensitive area. At 32 years of age, I did not expect to ever hear that I have to sit up straight again.
After much hesitation, I went to see a physical therapist that a friend had recommended. We explained my situation and asked if he could figure out the cause of my symptoms. He examined me and walked in with a book that showed an image of something called thoracic outlet syndrome(TOS). It was the first time that I felt that sense of relief that you get when something finally makes sense. I tried PT for three months and did not get relief from my symptoms. My physical therapist and I decided that I needed medical assistance with this.

The founder of Restore Our Future, a super PAC supportive of Mitt Romney, said Thursday the group saw money pour in one day after the GOP nominee pulled a widely applauded performance in the first presidential debate.
"I think that today will probably be the best fundraising day we've had, if not one of the top two fundraising days we've ever had," Charlie Spies said on CNN's Erin Burnett "OutFront."
While he did not give specific numbers, Spies said "people are fired up, they're energized and very excited."
The group has raised $96.7 million as of August 31 and has spent $86.6 million in the 2012 federal elections, according to Federal Election Commission reports. In recent weeks, Restore Our Future has aggressively targeted the battleground states of Wisconsin and Michigan, injecting millions of dollars in ads in the states.
Also Thursday, Romney's spokeswoman Andrea Saul tweeted that the campaign received "more than two donations every second" after Wednesday night's debate.
Meanwhile, senior strategist for a pro-Obama super PAC, Priorities USA Action, also said the group saw a spike in fund-raising after the debate, though not quite as much as Restore Our Future.
"Today was a pretty good day for us," Bill Burton said on "OutFront."
"Not top one or two?" Burnett asked.
"It was definitely a top five. I don't know about top one or two," he replied.

SafeNet, a Baltimore-based company focused on encryption and authentication, has appointed cloud veteran Dave Hansen as the company's new president and chief executive officer.
"I think we are underrepresented in the market," Hansen said of SafeNet during an interview with CRN following his appointment. "There is a lack of awareness about us. We started out being highly focused on the government sector, which is a critical market for us. But, I do think that in the commercial space, we have not built enough awareness and done enough marketing, including marketing to our channel partners."
Hansen intends to work aggressively towards increasing channel relationships and driving more incremental business to the channel. "I'm a strong believer in the channel, but I also recognize that it takes significant investment and commitment," he said.
[Related: SafeNet Rolls Out Authentication Service For Enterprise Security Providers]
"The hot topics in the market today are focused around security, data protection and even software licensing models from the cloud," he continued. "Our solutions totally map to those business requirements, and we intend to build upon that in order to accelerate cloud adoption. People look at security as an obstacle to the cloud, whereas I think it's an enabler."
SafeNet offers a range of products in the authentication and encryption space, as well as a variety of professional services around these technologies and related management.
Hansen joins the company from BMC Software, where he most recently served as vice president and general manager following the acquisition of Numara Software, which specializes in service, asset and mobile device management. Hansen served as CEO at Numara, and helped to guide the company's cloud strategy. Previous experience includes more than nine years at CA Technologies, where he led the development and execution of CA's enterprise solutions and cloud strategy, focused on cloud, on-premise solutions and hybrid environments. He also led the company's security business unit and had previously served as its chief information officer.
Hansen replaces Chris Fedde, who had been with SafeNet since 2001.

Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Committee
Formed in 1992, the Environmental Crime Committee assisted INTERPOL in identifying emerging patterns and trends in the field of environmental crime enforcement.
The Committee acted as a forum in which law enforcement officials could meet face to face in order to discuss new strategies and practices, share experience and expertise, and build the bridges of international cooperation that are vital in the fight against international environmental crime.
During the INTERPOL/UNEP International Chiefs of Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Summit in March 2012, the decision was made to restructure the Environmental Crime Committee. This initiative, known as the Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Committee (ECEC), brings together executive leaders and decision makers from all 190 INTERPOL member countries to provide strategic advice on relevant issues and to harness global support.
The 1st Executive Level - Environmental Compliance and Enforcement Committee (ECEC) Meeting will be held on the 7 and 8 November 2013 in Nairobi, Kenya, alongside meetings of the Wildlife, Pollution and Fisheries Crime Working Groups from 4 to 7 November 2013.
To support the Committee in its function, three working groups lead projects in specific areas:
Pollution Crime Working Group
The INTERPOL Pollution Crime Working Group initiates and leads a number of projects to combat the transport, trading and disposal of hazardous wastes or resources in contravention of national and international laws. Pollution crime has a clear and direct human impact due to the hazardous nature of the substances in question.
Far-reaching damage
As well as being harmful to health, the illegal disposal of waste into waterways, the air, and the ground can significantly damage a community's livelihood, destroy jobs, and lower property values. The effect of pollution crime on the natural environment can be global, and contributes directly to the worldwide issue of climate change.
This type of crime is an international issue as hazardous waste – especially from more developed nations where it is strictly controlled – can be illegally disposed of in less developed countries, taking advantage of lax or non-existent environmental controls or effective enforcement.
Taking action
Clearly, in today's global economy there is a need for an international strategy to deal with pollution crime. The INTERPOL Pollution Crime Working Group brings together specialized criminal investigators from around the world to work on project-based activities on an international level.
We encourage participation from environmental experts across the world in order to maximize the global impact of current projects and to devise new initiatives.
EPA Public Participation Toolkit: The United States Environmental Protection Agency has developed a toolkit to guide public involvement in the elaboration of laws and regulations, particularly those related to the environment. The toolkit identifies best practices in planning, skills and behaviours that government agencies can use to design and implement meaningful public participation programmes.
Current projects
Clean Seas
To conserve cleaner and safer marine environments.
Having produced a manual on investigating vessel pollution in 2007, this project has recently developed and delivered a law enforcement training course using the manual as a guide. The pilot course in Canada (June 2010) was followed by four workshops in the South Pacific.

Zapp application-My issues
Posted 28 February 2012 - 11:29 PM
I have my own issues with zapp-not that it does not work or is not easy to use.
I do not feel it best for artists or shows.
More that it allows anyone who can push a button to enter shows without knowing much about them.For the promoter they get a huge increase in fees as more push the button then would normally apply and for the show the turn around of artists doing it one time only increases.
This fragments theshow. This is how- Artist shows up with work that does not work in that market-as all they know is what little zapp has to say about show and how easy it isto push a button-
They have traveledfrom heaven to earth to get to Tim buck tu then die sales wise and never come back or push that button again. I have had them as neighbors morethan once.
This has not been good for any of us. Slides digital images-photos no matter I've worked with them all. That's not the issue here.
What does matter isknowing what works and what does not-I think promoters who do their own P R and gathering and taking responsibility for the juried process are best. Yes I do a few Zapp shows but that does not mean I have to like it.
I'm on board (VP) who puts an art fair (non Profit) on the past 35 years so I know both sides of this.
Greg Lawler's (artfair source book) review of zapp is below-check it out-he brings up some good points as well.
Posted 01 March 2012 - 03:02 PM
Of course images were going to go digital. Of course artists would have to adopt new technology. Is it ZAPP's fault that people can tweak images on Photoshop? No. If people get in to a show with tweaked images and then sell poorly, is that ZAPP's fault? No. Is it the event organizer's fault? No. Artists have a responsibility to apply to shows that they are qualified to attend. I do a ton of research before applying to a show. Should event organizers make sure they are jurying to the best of their abilities? Of course. But of course not all are going to. I make functional pots. Nothing too showy, but well made and elegant (if I do say so myself!). There are a lot of shows that I don't expect to get in, and therefore don't apply to, simply because they tend to accept more flashy, showy work. It's no different than selling through galleries. It has to be a good fit.
Sales have decreased 10% since 2000. That's not too bad considering how the economy is functioning. Tell that to most other businesses and they'll tell you to stop whining. Jury fees have gone up 60% in the last 6 years. Big deal. That's $11. If $11 makes or breaks your business then you have bigger problems. Booth fees have gone up about $100. That's a little more annoying, but if you have a good show, it's still a better deal than the cut a gallery takes. If you add $2 to every pot in you booth you can make that up pretty easily.
I also have a hard time with people blaming the application process when they don't get in to a show they do every year. It is a juried exhibition, after all, whether you've done it before or not. Maybe, because there are more people applying to the shows, there are a lot of better artists applying. The assumption is that more applications equals more bad applications. It could be the other way around. As galleries keep dropping like flies, artists have to find new venues to sell their work. Art fairs fit the bill. And shows have to bring in new artists in order to stay current and exciting. I strongly disagree with the article that new artists should be limited to 10%. That's way too low, and will simply discourage new artists from entering the fair world at all. A smart artist will have a good web site and email list so he/she can contact customers to let them know which shows they will be attending, and have on online sales option, too.
I don't mean to sound unsympathetic, but this is business, and there is competition in business. It's not easy, and the world is changing quickly. I've been working at growing my gallery, studio and repair business for the last 8 years, and it's a constant struggle, but it is growing. Art fairs are yet another revenue stream for me. The internet has made it more competitive on all levels, but that's how it is. The world is changing, and as usual, artists are struggling to keep up and accept the changes. My shop probably wouldn't be open for business if it weren't for technology and the internet, as it is the #1 way for me to find customers. It would be impossible for me to advertise all over Chicago and Milwaukee (and the whole country in reality) otherwise.
ZAPP is not evil. Art fair promoters might be kind of evil, and I know of a couple that are truly evil, but that's how it is. But if they get too evil, their businesses will eventually fail as people stop applying to their shows. We used to have these same conversations about gallery owners. Everyone's making money except the artists...

As far as Mark's post, I think (and I could be wrong) the point that he and Greg Lawler are making is that the vetting process for artists has become less stringent, and less accurate, simply because Zapplication allows for so many artists to apply to shows. Jurying fees have increased, but these fees are not being used to hire more or better jurors, they are going to the promoters bottom line. Hence, the jurors that they DO have can't keep up with the load of images submitted, and tweaked pictures are probably going to slip through, and enable some 'artists' to be in shows that they perhaps should not be in. This is but one source of art fairs woes, if true!
Posted 01 March 2012 - 06:14 PM
I to like the feel smell and touch of a paper-sad to see them slowly go away.
As far as (lot of negative energy here on the forum,) I'm not known for much of that-I try and be a contributor here.
As you said its business and sometimes business is not all fun or good-My point is it's a discussion good or bad and we all need to know theupsides and downsides-
Zapp is not evil it's a tool that we use-but as with tools sometimes a sledge hammer is not the right tool for putting in a tack
I think B.E.CAT got the boiled down point I was referring towell.
The other thing, which is now truer these days, is people sendin jury photos of items they say they make and do not. They often bring an entirely different product (import). As a board member at a show we see there has been a rash of this over the past few years also as told to me from other promoters-Folks say anything to get into the show-which thenbecomes a problem of dealing with them during the show. Kicking them out or banning them next time whatever is a lot of energy. This has been a huge problem,which not long ago was almost a non-issue.
Its not a pleasant or upbeat topic but its one we artists need to talk about.
It's not good for us the show or the public.
Posted 01 March 2012 - 08:36 PM
And I'm still not convinced that jurors aren't doing their jobs well. That article is opinion, after all. Yes, the statistics may be true, but the effects of those numbers are opinion. Fact: there are a lot more people applying to shows than before. We do not know if that overwhelms jurors or not. It's easy to say that's the case, but we really don't have any proof. The majority of shows I have applied to so far this year have been at least a few days late with their acceptance/rejection notifications, sometimes a week or more. Does that mean they are overwhelmed? Does it mean they are unorganized and behind schedule? Or does it mean they have more applications than they expected, and are taking extra time to ensure they are doing a good job with their evaluations? We don't know. Bad work got into shows long before ZAPP. I think we really need another point of view, like from someone who organizes the popular shows.
As for not spending enough of the jury fee money on the jurors, I think that can be read another way, too. If someone asked me to jury a show for free, would I do it? In a heartbeat. And I have. It's a great resume line and great exposure to the art community. And it's just plain fun. Should they lower the jury fee if they're not actually spending the money? Maybe. It could be they're spending that extra money on advertising or something beneficial. Could be they're just pocketing it. Again we don't know. It's easy to say we're getting screwed, but we might not be.
I was talking about this with one of my students this afternoon, and we came to the conclusion that hand made goods are cool again. Just look at Etsy or the Renegade Craft Fairs, or the Knit $itch movement. My 37 year old wife just started quilting. Too cool. There are a lot more people making handmade goods than there were 15 years ago. Maybe shows are trying to be current and hip and accepting more of those young hipsters and pushing out the old timers. Maybe there's just not enough galleries out there to support all us potters any more, and more of us are doing art fairs to compensate, which is increasing the competition. Are people creating new work, or just applying with the same stuff they have always made because that's always worked?
I guess what I'm saying is we really don't know, and it's way too easy to blame the new process just because it's different. I do enjoy hearing all the different theories, I just can't buy into any of them without knowing for sure. Again, I apologize if I'm coming off too harsh.

I personally have used zapp from almost day one as shows jumped on the bandwagon-but as with anything there can be downsides and we as artists need to consider them
I'm not feeling to close to my work as its been almost 40 years of making and selling and its just work nothing more. Yes in 1000 mugs I like a few better than the others but they are all the same price and I hold them all in the same regard (except for reds)
What I can say is that downturns in the economy have always been been good for reasonable priced hand made items. There has always been an uptick in sales for me in every last downturn since the 70's
Sales are up overall past year as folks value the hand made items more when $ is tight. At least thats been my experience
For me as a west coast potter I have yet to see more younger potters coming along making more handmade items-maybe thats true back east. I would like to see it but we have not.
As you noted bad work has always been around-heck when I started my work was bad/unrefined-Thats not what I meant.
Pottery for me is only business and its been a great one.This week has me sending out pots to two states and making drops to 3 galleries and one wholesale spot. These pots where made all last year.
salt pots are the exception-pure fun only.
With this business comes experience with all types of fair promoters and long ago in the early 80's I made the choice not to deal with promoters that I thought where as you said( truly evil)
This decision has really worked well for me in the long haul.
I tend to only do business when its good on all sides-as now in my life whatever gets made sells and goes away some faster than other true but it all goes. At some point we will all realize we only have some many pots in us.
I have learned that when you send a customer home from a show with a bag of pots as they forgot a form of payment you will have that customer for life like a mole on the neck.
Mailing a mug and have them send the check -another customer for life-This type of business is going away I'm told and thats from the people I trusted to send in the $.
I have adapted Jeff Khons (another potter) way of thinking-once its made I've already past that and on to the next so Its someone else's to deal with either with money or to use.
No apology needed I'm thick skinned.
I do not expect or even hope all agree-as we all have different opinions
Posted 02 March 2012 - 10:55 AM
And I think it ridiculous to argue that Zapp gives advantages to lesser quality work. That just doesn't make sense. We are all still on the same playing field, the field is now digital and larger. But we still all have to compete just the same.
The quality of any given art festival is solely based on the individuals who are running it, and nothing to do with Zapp. There have always been good shows, and not-so-good shows. Zapp didn't change that. And the next application protocol that comes along to replace Zapp won't change that either.
The one thing I do agree with in Lawler's article is that the profitability of arts careers has gone down by a lot. No doubt this has been painful and frustrating to many. If you want something to blame, it's the collapse of the housing market.

Bingo. Pottery/art are luxury items. If there's less expendable income available, we suffer. I think another problem is that there are way too many art fairs now. Around here every little 'burb has an art fair, and that spreads out the profits too much.

yes, could be true.
Posted 02 March 2012 - 05:50 PM
This statement is right to the heart of something BIG
If a community has say one or two art shows a year then they are a big deal and well attended-If there is one art show every weekend thru the season for the public to attend they why bother for them to go. The thought is we can go next weekend or some other time.
This has what I have seen over the years especially in large urban areas-for me the closest is San Francisco a 6 hour drive-there is a show within a one hour drive for the whole of the bay area all season and into the winter.
Sales at all shows drops and shows no longer have a special spot for the buying public.They are not well attended like they once where.
If you can focus on shows in areas that only have say a yearly show for a large or even small area
This is a general plan with exceptions.
Posted 03 March 2012 - 10:02 AM
Artists easily forget that this is business, and I get all worked up into a tizzy because I can't get away from the fact that this is business. We make a product and we sell it. Just like shoes and iPhones and everything else at Target. Yes, our products have a special use in the world, and that's a whole other conversation, but when it comes right down to it, it's production and sales.
couldn't agree more. nicely put, neil.
I've had to adapt my business model every year since I opened just to figure out how to make money in this crazy market. I've had to stop selling some products because I can't compete with the online retailers when it comes to price. I've tried umpteen million advertising methods. And just when one starts working, everything changes. It's not easy being a potter....
just curious, what business models and advertising have you used that seems to work well? whatever you're willing to share is fine, no need to give away your greatest secrets or anything.

Ditto. Slides were a nightmare. I remember applying to grad school way back when, and having to get 20-30 slides together for every application. The cost of duplicates was awful for a starving student.

Still haven't gotten mine. It has never been scanned into my local post office. The USPS is making a lot of unhappy MCA members and unfortunately MCA is getting the blame. This is a post office issue. I've had people in Kentucky not get a magazine and their neighbors 20 miles away have. No wonder they are going down the tubes.
My understanding, and has worked for us. You login and go to your membership (where you renew), select edit account, replace the address. The elves take it from there.
As it was explained to me the magazine is shipped to what your account address is. Can't be different.

Face ID is one of the most advanced and exciting new features of the PowerShot ELPH 320 HS, giving you an easy way to improve every shot of the people you love. Simply take a picture of up to 12 faces you would like the camera to register, then enter names and ages. Once a person is registered, the camera will pick him or her out of a group (even against a busy background) and adjust focus and exposure to his or her face, even recognizing faces in profile. Face ID is particularly great for shots of babies and children. The system can pick your baby out of a group of children, focus on your baby when pictured with an adult, and capture her best smile by taking three successive images when the smile is detected. The flash is even disabled so as not to startle the baby and interrupt the moment. Older children in motion are tracked, with focus and exposure continually adjusted with Servo AF; with one shutter press three successive images are captured so the best shot is never missed. And because you'll identify each face you register, Face ID makes it easy to search images by name.

Just wanted to bid an online farewell to all the cool nights I have had out surfing since I took up the call of the ocean this summer.
I have finally had to admit that going surfing after work was no longer a possibility even with my waterproof headlight.
such a shame.
this means that I'm going to be down to once a week or less, it really saddens me that this is true and Im worried I will forget all the stuff I have been picking up.
England...why you so dark!!!

They did that in Dragon Age too.
It takes at least three play throughs.
They did that in Dragon Age too.
It takes at least three play throughs.
I have six platinums, and a 100 percent on a game that doesn't have a platinum trophy (I AM ALIVE). Soon to be seven plats, once I finish with the original Mass Effect.
I have eight platinum's and four 100%.
I think the easiest was The Walking Dead. You get one for completing each chapter, so by the time you beat the game, you get your plat.
The six I have currently are
Assassin's Creed II
Assassin's Creed Revelations (Brotherhood has a stupidly difficult multiplayer trophy...it's the only one I'm missing)
Heavy Rain
Infamous 2
Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3
My 100% Gamerscore games are:
Guitar Hero Aerosmith
Rock Band Blitz
Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock
Modern Warfare 3
Rock Band 2
Band Hero
Modern Warfare 2
Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing
Sonic Generations
Call of Duty 4
Halo 3 (Have all achievements except 1 in Halo Wars, "Get General Rank on Xbox Live")
Halo 3 ODST
1 vs 100
So mostly music games and shooters. A note for people wanting to get the DLC achievement/trophy on Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock, buy all the free DLC and you can get it (you don't have to spend MSP/PSN money to get it).
I have
Dragon Age: Origins
Fallout 3
Fallout: New Vegas
L.A. Noire
Infamous 2
Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One
The Walking Dead
I almost had Red Dead Redemption but it also had stupid online trophies. And one night when I almost got one, it didn't register for some reason and I gave up.
Oh, LA Noire. I have that one, too. So I guess I have seven.
I just got the two Fallout games. And Skyrim. Are they relatively easy to plat?
I would say Guitar Hero Warriors of Rock would be relatively easy to platinum as long as you have all instruments.

You walk into the sun-drenched room, padding across alternating swathes of slate tile and plush carpet. In the kitchen, your friend slices veggies atop a gleaming granite countertop, which will later top the burgers cooking on the stainless-steel gas grill outside. A cushy sectional beckons for you to curl up and watch a DVD on the flatscreen TV, but instead you decide to head up to the roof, where a few companions are sprawled out on lounge chairs on the expansive sun deck.
Though it sounds like this scenario could only take place on the French Riviera's star-studded coasts, River Ranch Boat makes it possible with luxury-houseboat rentals in the Northwest. The 59-foot beauties are appointed with contemporary furnishings and fixtures, sleeping up to 12 adults and holding parties of up to 25 during the day. The vessels, which can be rented for weekend or mid-week sojourns, also have an on-deck waterslide that deposits riders right into the Columbia or Snake Rivers.
Those looking for single-day adventures can rent one of River Ranch's pontoons, which hold 12–16 people depending on the vessel. There is also a fleet of pleasure boats––speedboat-style watercraft that can be used for fishing, tubing, wakeboarding, or revving the engine to scare away lingering ghost ships.
Multiplatinum-selling and multiple-Grammy-winning quartet Third Day's stirring Southern rock thrills multitudes on its Make Your Move spring tour. One of the most popular Christian bands of the A.D. era, Third Day has moved millions of fans with hits such as "Cry Out to Jesus" and "Love Song," as well as hundreds of tumbleweeds with its tour bus. With a sound that evokes Lynyrd Skynyrd in its Sunday best, the band tenderly testifies while rocking through a hook-laden marathon live show.
Locati Cellars' 2009 sangiovese red infuses Rosebud Vineyard's sangiovese—from Wahluke Slope—with fruit from Walla Walla's Mission Hills Vineyards. The hybrid result earned silver medals in the 2012 San Francisco Chronicle wine competition and the 2012 Seattle Wine Awards, with its pomegranate and cranberry scents that complement blueberry, black tea, and chocolate flavors.
The sangiovese is just one of the vintages sommeliers pour for tasting at the Locati Cellars, helmed by the Locati family for the past century. The winery rounds out its selection with the bone-dry Estate rosé and whites, such as the 2012 pinot grigio, rather than the original white wine—fermented grapes mixed with paper. The winemaking team strives to blend Italian winemaking traditions with grapes from the winery's vineyards, which occupy Walla Walla's rolling, fertile hills. Locati Cellars has won a number of accolades for their wine, such as gold for their 2009 Locati Innovation from Seattle Wine Awards, and gold for their 2009 Estate Sangiovese from the Great Northwest Wine Competition.

This dry, washable filter fits into your airbox and connects to the intake tube. It balances performance and convenience for gas and diesel Dodge Chargers driven on paved and semi-dusty roads. Four layers block out 99.2 percent of dirt.
The aFe Pro Dry S air filter offers a great balance of protection, performance and convenience. Designed for gas and diesel street Dodge Chargers, it performs well in paved-road and semi-dusty driving conditions.

Two layers of randomly porous, synthetic fabric lie between two layers of progressively finer, medical-grade cotton gauze to block 99.2 percent of dirt and grime from clogging your engine. All four layers are dry and oil free, making it easy to service the filter. These materials provide a high-performance airflow and extended service intervals. This aFe air filter is washable and reusable; cleaning is recommended once every 25,000 to 30,000 miles.
