IcehengeThis is the fifth postal (PBM/PBeM) game of Star Trader GMed by Mike Dommett and published by Pevans in my postal games 'zine, To Win Just Once. This is the web version of the turn. Follow the link for an introduction to Star Trader. Turn 1Previous reports: Start-up Sections: Report, Corporation Table, News, Press, GM Notes, Star map (separate page) PDF map (108k) We have the money and we want to buy some Isotope Factories. At Gamma Leporis SUNDOG bought 6 Alloys for 6 HTs each and gained a Dealership.The MU HERCULIS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION bought 5 more Alloys for 4 HTs. There was not much going on at Epsilon Eridani, but PUM CORP bought 6 Alloys for 7 HTs apiece. Delta Toucanis saw dealing in Petroleum: SUNDOG bought 6 at 10 HTs and MHDC bought 7 more for a price of 9 HTs. LISPING TREE bought 10 Isotopes for 7 HTs each at Tau Ceti and gained a Dealership. JANETs bid of 4 was too low. JUST ANOTHER NEW ENERGY TRADER bought 6 Petroleum for 10 HTs apiece and turned their Dealership into a Contractorship, so they werent too upset. At Mu Herculis BULGAKOV LINES bought 5 Monopoles for 12 HTs each, after which SOLAR SPICE & LIQUORS bought 5 on Contract using Agent Crip. PUM CORP was buying 8 Petroleum for 13 HTs apiece and got a Dealership. PUM CORP bought 10 Isotopes for 6 HTs each and gained a Dealership at Sigma Draconis. CAESAR WHOLESALE INC. bought 1 more at the same price. GREEN ARCHERs bid of 5 HTs was shut out. CAESAR WHOLESALE did better at Alpha Centauri, buying 8 Liquors for 13 HTs each and achieving a Dealership. At Beta Hydri SUNDOG bought 6 Alloys for 8 HTs each. Then BULGAKOV LINES bought 2 more for the same price. MU HERCULIS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION improved their Reputation immensely and bought 4 Warehouses at Mu Herculis, Tau Ceti, Sigma Draconis, and Delta Toucanis. To these they added 2 Spice Factories at Sigma Draconis. The Light Weapons pods were sold and replaced with Cargo pods and a new Phoenix Hull with an A Crew was laid down at Tau Ceti Shipyard. To pay for this they took out a 647 HT loan for 4 Quarters. PUM CORP hired Agent Tender at Epsilon Eridani and improved their Reputation. Two Warehouses were bought, one at Gamma Leporis and one at Tau Ceti. An Alloy Factory at Gamma Leporis and an Isotope Factory at Tau Ceti followed. A new Phoenix hull was laid down at the Tau Ceti Shipyards west side, with mostly Cargo pods and a B crew. A loan of 140 HTs was taken out over 4 Quarters. Finally, the corporation increased its Political Connections. SUNDOG hired Agent Amy at Gamma Leporis, increased Reputation and boughtb two Petroleum Factories at Delta Toucanis. A new Phoenix Hull was laid down at Beta Hydri Shipyards. TEGWEN TRUCKERS were very busy. First, they sold their ship Aeron, for 130% of the list price (ships were in demand this Quarter for some reason). 6 Phoenix Hulls were laid down, 2 at each of Beta Hydri, Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti Spaceports. They then went to the Bankers and took out a loan for 540 HTs for 4 Quarters. Each of the Phoenix Hulls was equipped with an Augmented Jump Pod and 3 Passenger Pods, all with B class crews. A further Phoenix Hull was laid down at Tau Ceti, though this one has A class crew and 5 cargo pods. A Warehouse at Gamma Leporis and a Warehouse at Tau Ceti followed, and next Quarter they will have 7 ships launching. JUST ANOTHER NEW ENERGY TRADER bought Warehouses at Gamma Leporis and Sigma Draconis. They invested in factories: 3 Alloy factories at Gamma Leporis, 2 Isotopes at Tau Ceti and 2 Isotopes at Sigma Draconis. This helped when they spent more HectoTrans raising their Business Connections. SOLAR SPICE & LIQUORS hired Agent Clint at Mu Herculis. They then also sold their ship, for 140% of list price, and increased their Business Connections and Reputation (though not by a lot). They laid down a new Phoenix Hull (this one is an armed merchantman, covered with Light Weapon pods) at Epsilon Eridani and then spent most of the rest on 6 Monopole Factories at Mu Herculis. CIGS AND ALCOHOL increased their Criminal connections. LISPING TREE hired Agent Dragon at TC. They laid down a Piccolo hull at Alpha Centauri with Augmented Jump and A crew. They bought a Monopole Factory at Mu Herculis as well as a Warehouse, sold their Light Weapons pod and increased their Political connections. CAESAR WHOLESALE tried to hire an agent for 40 HTs and failed. They then sold their ship for 160% of list price and, with this injection of funds, laid down Vespasian and Titus, both Phoenix Hulls with a mixture of Cargo and Light Weapon pods and A class crews, in the yards at Alpha Centauri. A 300 HT loan over 8 Quarters followed and the corporation bought a single new Warehouse at Gamma Leporis SWISS MERCENARY FLEET bought 5 Spice Factories at Sigma Draconis, upgraded their ships crew to A class and then started their usual tilt to the dark side, raising Criminal Connections. Finally, BULGAKOV LINES bought a Warehouse at Sigma Draconis, 3 Spice Factories at the same Spaceport, adding to SMFs production facilities, and laid down a new Corco Zeta Hull, the Woland, at Beta Hydri with A crew and a mix of Passenger and Light Weapon pods. Corporation Table
GM NotesPlease make sure to let me have names and equipment for ships laid down last turn in this turns orders. For the avoidance of doubt: a Quarter (in the game report) is a Turn. NewsThere were 4 new News chits this turn. The current News chits (new ones in bold) are: PressHokay, I want a nice clean trading game and may the best merchant win, by damn! Pevans van Rijn |

There are many, many family bands, but very few of them have as much in common and yet as many differences as the members of 77 Bombay Street. The sound created by the four brothers from Scharans is reminiscent of The Beatles in their early days or the Beach Boys after a night on the drink. The combination of this sound, the inspiring mountain air, and influences from the current music scene creates the unmistakeable brand of folk rock that is the "Bombays". All four brothers write songs, channelling their personal preferences into the band's music This means that in this case, variety and inventiveness are not just an empty phrase, but the defining feature of this band. "Our music is a combination of folky lightness, profound song-writing, and a healthy dose of humour," grins Matt.
Matt (28), Joe (26), Esra (24), and Simri-Ramon (20) grew up in a family of nine in Basle. "Our mother encouraged us to sing from a very early age," explains Joe. Ever since they were tiny, they have been making music together. Initially, they performed in nursing homes, hospitals, and at private events. Then came an event that changed their lives: in 2001, the Buchli family moved to Australia for two years, setting up home at 77 Bombay Street in Adelaide. On their return to Switzerland, the four decided that they didn't want to live in the city any more. "We were lucky to be able to take over the old chalet that belonged to our grandparents in Scharans," says Esra. "Surrounded by the beautiful mountains of the canton of Graubünden, it was just perfect." They weren't in the least bit bothered that they would have to share a bedroom. A short time later they formed a band, which they named after their temporary home down under. From this point on, the heart of the band beat in the chalet's cellar, where they rehearsed. Then everything happened very quickly: 77 Bombay Street began to enter band competitions, winning almost every one of them. They were then hired for some gigs and won both the Little Prix Walo and the MyCokemusic Contest in 2009. "It can be wonderful to make music with your brothers, but it can also be very nerve-racking," says Simri- Ramon in answer to a frequently asked question. "Each of us has a different idea of music. Before we reach a consensus, there can be big fights and it can get very loud."
At this stage, 77 Bombay Street is more than just an insider tip. 77 Bombay Street is all about the joy of making music, musical talent, intensity, and authenticity. With the songs '47 Millionaires' and 'Long Way', they have conquered the radio waves and are getting both positive media reviews and encouraging feedback. The band's fan community is growing steadily. 77 Bombay Street have already played over 100 live shows in their as yet short career. Their debut album, Up In The Sky, features 12 characteristic and unmistakeable folk-rock gems. There isn't a note too many, the songs are not overloaded with ideas, every word counts … in fact, every one of the songs is straightforward, direct, and goes straight to the heart.

When you develop an expensive addiction and you cannot hold a job because your brain has been fried by said addiction, crime is the only resource left.
A person may not have been inclined to stealing to begin with, but they are basically choosing a life of crime when they take that first hit of meth, because eventually that will be the only road open to them.
So even with the wide understanding that methamphetamine tends to be a very habit forming narcotic for the heavy release of dopamine that it initiates, thus it's habit forming abilities lead to the want of more, and ergo that would lead to crime. So either you are telling me that any and all users of meth are highly naive, or they could care less to begin with that they already know and understand the most likely end result. I was just dismissing the "marijuana leads to meth" argument, cause we all know somebody that intakes pot is going to look at a natural chemical produced by a plant in the ground and think to themselves "I bet that they are making a drug made from ammonium that smells like cat piss, and I want to inhale that lethal mixture made by some guy with no teeth that looks like a waxed covered skeleton."

Is menstruation different on a raw food diet? Do women still go through PMS and heavy periods when they eat raw? Can menstruation seize completely when women eat a low-fat raw food diet (80/10/10)? Are there any alternatives to pads and tampons? These and other questions all get answered in this 3-part video by Yulia, who will also share her personal experience of menstruating before and after a raw food diet.

What is Digital Citizenship?
What is digital citizenship? That's the driving question behind our current Year 5 unit of inquiry.
It's the start of the school year here in Australia, so the unit begins with the establishment of a learning community in the classroom. Students will explore what citizenship comprises in the context of the class community, 'a sense of belonging, rights and responsibilities, duties and privileges, agreed values and mutual obligations required for active participation in the group.' (Australian Civics and Citizenship Curriculum)
From there, it should be an easy jump to considering digital citizenship, through the conceptual lenses of responsibility , reflection and connection. Our learners will explore these questions…
- How do we analyse and evaluate digital content?
- What are our responsibilities when creating digital content?
- How can we communicate our ideas creatively and effectively online?
- What can we learn by connecting and collaborating with others in the world?
We're hoping to help connect our learners with other learners, both locally and globally and, in the process, develop and consolidate these understandings…
- People are consumers and creators in a digital world.
- We need to think critically about digital content.
- Everyone needs to be responsible for digital content they create.
- The internet enables us to connect,communicate and collaborate with people all over the world.
The Year 5s would like to hear from teachers and classes interested in collaborating via Skype, blogs, Twitter, Voicethread, email or other media they have not yet thought of. They are keen to connect with classes anywhere who are eager to broaden their horizons, collaborate on an inquiry into digital citizenship or simply share and compare learning. They're looking for once-off as well as ongoing collaborations.
Are you interested?
February 7, 2013 10:41 am
Yes we are!!! Our grade 4 is studying rights and responsibilities. Teachers want to collaborate!!
February 9, 2013 1:51 am
Hi, we would like to collaborate. We are a grade 4 cohort studying digital citizenship. We are in week 3 of a five week unit. We have basically the same teacher questions as you. So far we have looked at our responsibilities online. We have used a lot of ideas from http://www.commonsensemedia.com. Here are some of the things we have been exploring:
We have been using twitter to learn about networks. Our class twitter account is @LCSGrade4A and @LCSGrade4B.
We have looked a bit at cyberbullying and today we discussed our digital footprint.
On Fridays has been BYOD Fridays, in which the kids can bring their own web-enabled devices.
And we have just finished a week of clusters in which kids chose one out of 6 areas to explore about digital media and how to use it responsibly and how it is used to connect with other people.
We would love to share ideas with you.

I am a junior at the University of South Alabama in Mobile, Alabama, United States, and this post is very relevant to me. I am in Educational Media 310 or EDM 310 and we are learning to be digital citizens through blogging and podcasting. So far I have learned many valuable skills and how to be aware of what I put on the internet. As a future teacher I plan to use these methods in my own classroom.

Hi Edna,
Hope we're not too late to respond. We're interested in collaborating! As the teacher librarian/information literacy specialist, I'm starting the year with Year 3/4 looking at exactly the same ideas as you. We started out with a discussion about the power that the Internet (or a networked society) gives us and how it makes us feel (inspired by a Common Sense Media lesson). We're recording our thinking on padlet.com (formerly known as wallwisher) for the time being. Please have the Year 5 teachers get in contact so we can get some sharing happening!

for example, I would like to use the phone at night in the dock, but allow for the phone to ring (emergency calls etc), but not hear the email notifications etc sounds.
I would hate to have to always manually have to change the email setting to silent every night.

Foreword |
The "Guide for applicants" aims to provide companies, inventors and their representatives with an outline of the procedure involved in applying for a European patent.
This updated 13th (May 2010) edition of the first part of the Guide is based on the revised European Patent Convention (EPC 2000) which entered into force on 13 December 2007. All references to articles or rules in this Guide therefore relate to the EPC as in force since that date. Please note, however, that in some cases certain provisions of the earlier Convention (EPC 1973) will continue to apply for applications which were pending at the time the revised EPC entered into force. The present edition is updated to 1 May 2010, and only takes account of changes to European Patent Office (EPO) procedures entering into force up to that date. Users of this Guide should therefore always check the EPO website (www.epo.org) for information about any changes which may have occurred since then.
The second part of the Guide concerns the Euro-PCT route (How to get a European patent, Guide for applicants - Part 2, Euro-PCT, see point 8).

Katt Williams Anti-Mexican Rant Video: Full Video of Racist Rant
Comedian Katt Williams Apologized For A Rant Against Mexicans at a 2011 Show in Arizona. Here is the Full Katt Williams Rant Video
Comedian Katt Williams apologized for comments he made about Mexicans during a show in Phoenix, Arizona.
During the show, Williams responded to a Latino heckler.
He said they "think they can live in this country and pledge allegiance to another country," he told the man. "Do you remember when white people used to say 'Go back to Africa,' and we'd have to tell them we don't want to? So if you love Mexico, bitch, get the f--k over there."
He also said, "We were slaves, bitch. You just work like that as landscapers."
Williams later apologized for the rant, saying: "My remarks were not meant to be offensive. I want to apologize if my comedy act was taken out of context."
Here is the Full Katt Williams Rant Video

As you can see, ten years has given us much progress including giant touch-screen displays for communication, tickets on e-paper that guide us to our next location, and completely interactive newspapers.
So who has provided us with this vision of the future? Would you believe Microsoft? This clip was given by Microsoft's Business Division president Stephen Elop at the Wharton Business Technology Conference.
Even though this video uses a lot of special effects, you have to ask yourself if it paints a realistic depiction of where technology is headed. If you ask me, then I would say "yes". Most of this technology demonstrated in the video clip is just an amplification of technologies that we already have now, such as the Surface and e-paper.
Let us all hope that ten years from now, the future will look like this. Then all those dreary science fiction writers will be wrong, and the future won't be dystopian like 1984. Hopefully Microsoft will not be Big Brother.
So what do you think? Is this video clip another cog in the Microsoft propaganda machine, or is really what the future will be like? Drop me a comment with your answer.

Opportunities | | Providers | Administrative Positions | Provider Support Positions | Prescription Assistance Program | Current Volunteers
The RI Free Clinic is able to carry out its mission based on the extraordinary efforts of our volunteers. Volunteers range from medical professionals who donate their time to the Clinic, to individuals who join us on the first Thursday of each month to help process new patients. Volunteers are our greatest asset and we are very much in their debt.
Under our volunteer provider community partnership model, medical services are provided by RI Free Clinic staff and a wide-ranging team of volunteer professionals from around the state, to include doctors, nurses, pharmacists and student trainees from major RI hospitals and institutions of higher learning.
Many of our volunteer doctors see Clinic patients in their own offices, allowing patients to receive medical services in their own communities.
Some of our volunteers are retired. Retired physicians, nurses and others are especially encouraged to apply and join our volunteer medical staff.
Due to liability restrictions, all volunteers must be age 18 or older.
We invite prospective volunteers to APPLY HERE.
If you are a provider interested in volunteering at the Clinic, please CLICK HERE.
Volunteers are needed in all of the following capacities:
The following volunteer providers are needed to provide critical health care to Clinic patients:
All medical providers for primary and specialty care including doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants
Mental health providers including licensed clinical social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, wellness coaches, nutritionists, and exercise instructors
For more information and to apply, please CLICK HERE
During a Check-In shift, volunteers will greet patients as they arrive. They will verify each patient's demographic information, change the appointment status, and direct the patient to the waiting room. Volunteers will also be asked to check messages on the answering machine. This position allows volunteers to observe the administrative aspects of a clinic. It requires minimal training.
This position involves signing out patients, scheduling patients' follow-up and new appointments, and completing lab work and referral forms. Volunteers have the benefit of direct patient contact as well as interaction with providers and medical assistant. It is a great way to gain experience working in a clinical setting. Additional training is required for this position.
Medical Recorder
As a medical recorder, volunteers will assist providers in note taking for patient appointments. Depending on the appointment type and provider preference, medical providers will either record in the exam room during the appointment or will record in the volunteer room after the appointment. Volunteers will interact with providers and will learn to use medical record keeping software. Additional training is required for this position.
Spanish Interpreter
This position involves translating for Spanish-speaking patients. Volunteers must be fluent in Spanish and English. However, they are not required to know complex medical terminology. Volunteers will have direct patient interaction and will be with patients and providers in clinic rooms. This position allows volunteers to shadow providers as well as interact with patients.
The prescription assistance program provides free or low cost prescription drugs to patients who cannot afford them. This position involves dispensing medication to patients, assisting in the application process for new medication and refills, and conducting inventory for incoming medication. Volunteers will be exposed to both the administrative and case-management aspects of a clinic.
If you are a current volunteer and are looking to sign up or view your shifts, please CLICK HERE.

So... let's just lay it out here the way my mind works, which tends to be in list form.
I'm a music-lover,
and geek.
That explains most of it.
I read when I get the chance,
which beats the hell out of watching TV.
(good movies don't count as TV)
I spent most of my early life on BMX bikes, later on mountain bikes, and I need to get back to it.
Photography is not a hobby of mine, but I still like taking pictures.
I've been adopted by some critters over the years.
Somewhere around here are two cats who found me back in 1996.
They've been made completely neurotic
by my dog.
She showed up towards the end of 2002.
When she was a puppy she ate a lot of my stuff.
Here are two members of the fox family who hang out in my woods.
We've also got deer, rabbits, hawks, owls, blue heron, raccoons, groundhogs, geese, pheasant... you name it.
I'm enjoying watching them while I can, before they bulldoze all the forests and fields
to make way for new houses and strip malls we do not need, or want.
Oh, and beer. Random thought. Sorry.

Cary, NC, 14 March 2012
Shrapnel Games is thrilled to announce that the much anticipated pen and paper tabletop role-playing game (RPG) from Disrupted Gears, Total Eclipse, is now available for purchase. While designed for classic tabletop play it is available only in the very modern format of digital delivery, and has been specifically formatted to take advantage of the variety of smart phones, tablet devices, and e-readers (but is fully compatible with your good ol' fashioned computer) accessible to today's gamers.
Total Eclipse is not a single RPG experience, but an open ended RPG system created to allow gamers to experience a rich variety of settings based around a single set of rules. Currently there are three books: The Standard Manual, The Adventurer's Forge, and The Virdean Gazetteer. A fourth book, The Celestial City State, a campaign setting, will be available soon.
The Total Eclipse Standard Manual is the core rulebook that all other books use as their foundation. Featuring easy to learn unique mechanics that blends the art of old school simple systems with modern gaming expectations, gamers will learn the ins and outs of the system within its eighty-seven pages. Attributes, skills, and combat are all covered in the book in complete detail. For example, the section on special combat circumstances includes being bound, blinded, comatose, cursed, deafened, diseased, distracted, hobbled, knocked back, knocked down, pinned, poisoned, and stunned. Hopefully not all at once!
The Adventurer's Forge weighs in at three hundred and fifty pages (single column, and not as daunting as it sounds) and is the first supplement, focusing on the time honored genre of fantasy role-playing. The Adventurer's Forge details fantasy character creation set in Disrupted Gears' own campaign world, Virdea. Character creation is a joy, with characters springing to life on paper dynamically through a wonderfully expansive creation process. A skill based and class-less system, players will create social classes, family backgrounds, possess advantages and disadvantages, all before stepping foot in the first dungeon. Playable races are both new twists on old standards, and brand new exciting choices. Play as a Forlorn, once human and now undead, the fairy like Hada, the reptilian Haguni, or the wolf-like Woldurno.
Finally there is The Virdean Gazetteer, the official fantasy campaign world that took shape way back in 1980. The Virdean Gazaetter clocks in at two hundred and twenty-nine pages and allows players to step into the fantastic and magical world of Virdea. Not only does it examine the world of Virdea intimately, but it also provides players with treasure tables, magical items, a bestiary, a starting town for sandbox play, and some starting adventures. Everything one needs to start their own adventuring crew on the road to glory!
The Total Eclipse RPG has been enjoyed for decades, and now with its professional publication Disrupted Gears and Shrapnel Games look forward to introducing more gamers to this fast and fun system. Micro-advancement allow players to grow their character every session, yet in manageable chunks that reflect growth and experience realistically. Attributes are creatively used, encouraging role-playing over roll-playing. The skill based system allow characters to be shaped as the player sees fit. Combat is once again exciting thanks to the inclusion of morale mechanics that eliminate the typical grind.
The core rulebook, The Standard Manual, sells for only $4.95, while The Adventurer's Forge and The Virdean Gazetteer retail for only $7.95. At such low prices you will indeed be able to answer the question, "Is that an entire role-playing system in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

Strange-But-True: Into the Snake Pit
Monday, June 27th, 2011 at 5:32pm. 1602 Views, 1 Comments.
The Sessions' thought the 5-bedroom house on nearly two acres would be their dream home. Little did they know, the home's current reptilian residents had other plans.
They slithered behind the walls at night and released foul-smelling musk into the drinking water. And they were so numerous that Ben Sessions once killed 42 in a single day.
Shortly after buying their dream home, Sessions and his wife discovered it was infested with thousands of garter snakes. For the next three months, their growing family lived as if in a horror movie. More than a year after they abandoned the property, the home briefly went back on the market, and they fear it could someday attract another unsuspecting buyer.
That's when they realized their home was probably sitting atop a…
Strange But True: Giving a Condo to a Veteran Harder Than Expected
Friday, June 4th, 2010 at 7:51pm. 616 Views, 0 Comments.
The owners of luxury condominium Eagles Point at the St. Croix, in Prescott, Wis., wanted to show their support for Minnesota troops. So they decided to donate a beautiful condo to one lucky veteran. A year later, they still have no takers.
They've tried to find a veterans' organization or other group to help them choose a veteran and arrange logistics. They've contacted more than a dozen organizations - from First Lady Mary Pawlenty's "Military Family Care Initiative" to the Minnesota Military Appreciation Fund to the national Troops First Foundation. They even tried the Minnesota Lottery. No one has come forward to help.
"The most common response we get is, 'It doesn't fit our mission,'" said Ken Miyamoto, sales manager for Eagles Point at the St. Croix,…
Strange But True: Home For Sale, Lot Not Included
Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 11:58pm. 720 Views, 0 Comments.
There is a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom rambler for sale in Chaska. Ron Olson is even willing to deliver it to a lot of your choice, as long as it's close to Chaska.
Ron is a contractor who runs an excavation company, acquired with the custom-built house after he was hired last fall to demolish it on a lot in Chaska MN. The home had suffered some smoke damage after some paint rags caught fire during the finishing process. The buyers didn't want it though, so the builder offered to tear it down and build a new one. Rather than haul it to a landfill, Ron decided to recycle the house, which would have sold for $600,000 at its former location.
"It's really a waste to take a perfectly good house that can be cleaned up fairly easily and throw it away like it's…
Strange But True: The Igloo and The Ice House
Thursday, February 18th, 2010 at 8:31pm. 597 Views, 0 Comments.
The cabin fever caused by winter's snowy weather and cold temperatures seem to have inspired some creativity. An igloo in Ohio and a house encased in ice in Detroit are drawing national headlines.
First, Jimmy Grey, of Aquilla, Ohio, has been out of work for almost a year. To keep himself busy, he took advantage of the heavy snowfally to build an extreme igloo in his family's yard. The "man cave" has 4 rooms, 6-foot tall ceilings, and an entertainment rooms with a flat-screen TV, cable, and surround sound. He says when he has friends over, cold temperatures mean the beer never gets warm.
Next, two artists who have encased one of Detroit's thousands of abandoned homes in ice, hoping to draw attention to the foreclosure and housing crisis that has battered the…
Strange But True: Own a Piece of Minneapolis Skyway
Monday, February 8th, 2010 at 11:55pm. 633 Views, 1 Comments.
An 83-foot piece of the Minneapolis skyway has been taken down from the sky and put up on the market. It could be yours for just $49,500.
This section of skyway was built in the late 1970s and spanned across 5th Street. It connected J.C. Penney and Powers department stores, which closed in the mid-1980s. Powers was leveled in 1993, and instead of taking down the skyway, it just sort-of dead-ended on the other side of the street. When light rail came, the skyway segment needed to go.
Minneapolis architect Ben Awes and his City Desk Studio partners offer in a Craigslist ad an array of possibilities for the 1,380-square-foot structure, all 140 tons of it sitting behind TCF Bank Stadium: office, bridge over a creek, ice rink warming house, etc.
"The one we are…
Strange But True: Home to be Raffled Off for Charity
Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 at 5:54pm. 4069 Views, 0 Comments.
For $50, a raffle ticket, and a little bit of luck, a 7,400-square-foot, 7 bedroom mansion in Athens, Ohio, could be yours. And a new car, and utility and taxes paid for 5 years.
Sometimes referred to as "the castle house," the 80-year-old estate is being raffled off by owners, Dr. Ernest de Bourbon and his wife, Jennifer, to raise money for local nonprofit May the World Dance, which helps poor children with obesity and related health problems. The contest, billed as the "Ultimate Life Makeover," is designed to revolutionize the life of the winner, who will be announced July 4.
The winner -- to be chosen through a drawing -- will receive the title to the house, a new car valued at less than $20,000 and money to pay the income tax on the house. In addition,…
Strange But True: You Could Own the School... Literally!
Wednesday, January 27th, 2010 at 9:51pm. 508 Views, 2 Comments.
The Robbinsdale School District has to determine what to do with 7 expendable buildings. Members of the district's Divestiture Plan Advisory" Committee will meet with the public on Thursday to solicit ideas on how to put them to better use or sell them. The buildings include an elementary school in Plymouth that was shut down to save money.
Committee chairwoman and Robbinsdale school board member Sherry Tyrrell said possibilities include selling the buildings, putting them to some kind of new use for the district, or even razing them and holding on to the property until the commercial real estate market improves. Leasing them is unlikely because the district would still have to maintain the buildings.
In addition to the Pilgrim Lane elementary school in…
Strange-But-True: Minneapolis Assessor Contests His Home's Valuation
Monday, January 11th, 2010 at 11:58pm. 690 Views, 0 Comments.
Many people were upset with their home's assessed values last year. Even Minneapolis' tax assessor wasn't satisfied with his property tax statement.
Minneapolis City Assessor Patrick J. Todd maintains his northeast Minneapolis home was valued at far more than it was worth when he bought it. He appealing to the Minnesota Tax Court to contest the value of his home, which was set by the office he heads. You read that right.
"It's one of those properties where the owner never called [the assessor's office] to say the value was too high," he said.
That's an understatement. He bought the 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home as investment property in July 2008 for $90,000. On January 1, 2008, the home had been assessed at $166,500 with a tax bill for payable 2009 of…
Strange-But-True: Instead of Tearing Down, Donate Your Unwanted House
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 at 8:35pm. 865 Views, 0 Comments.
When the Schrank family decided to sell their Prior Lake home and property, they were horrified to find that the new buyer wanted to destroy the house and build a new one in its place. The Schrank's are now donating the home to Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity.
But it had to be moved to its new site before a new family can take residence in it. That was accomplished last week by Otting House Movers based in Lakeville:
The 30-Ton house, 64-feet in length, 32-feet in width took up both lanes of traffic, which created quite the chore Wednesday. Crews had to cut branches from the tree-lined streets, Xcel Energy took down low power lines and some street signs were taken apart.
It took 4 hours to move the house 1.5 miles.
"It's always exciting to get a house…
Strange But True: Skeletons in the Basement
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009 at 12:14pm. 706 Views, 1 Comments.
When most people decide to sell their home, they take some time to spruce up the place for when potential buyers visit. They clear out the clutter, dust, sweep out the dirt, vacuum, and generally make it more inviting. It makes the home much more likely to sell. A house in Louisianna just might not ever be sold because of the sellers failure to clean out some of the skeletons in their closet. Or in this case, the basement.
A real estate agent showing a house in Gibson found about 100 human bones in a corner of the basement:
James Kenny, a forensic investigator with the Terrebonne Parish Coroner's Office, says the bones found Saturday were so old that dirt had saturated the marrow inside them. He says they probably are remains of Native Americans buried long…

"I wish the hurricane hadn't happened when it did because it gave the President a chance to be presidential and to be out showing sympathy for folks. That's one of the advantages of incumbency. But you know, you don't look back and worry about each little thing and how could that have been different. You look forward."
— Mitt Romney on CNN last Thursday, discussing Hurricane Sandy hitting a week before the election
All the deaths and destruction, people hurt, all the homes and property gone forever… little things! To Mitt, the real tragedy of Hurricane Sandy is that it put him at a disadvantage and he lost an election. Obama had all the "luck" — getting to be out SHOWING sympathy…
That's an interesting turn of phrase – showing sympathy. But the fact of the matter is that Willard wasn't programmed to feel sympathy (for others) but he has practiced looking sympathetic in the mirror for hours and hours. Like this:
God's going to give this sociopath his own planet? Hey, GOP: nice choice for presidential candidate.

Hey all-
I'm kick starting a test e cycle with beast. Currently in the first week, just running 10mg. I'm going to asses my response and let that be my guide in terms of dose but I'm wondering what everyone thinks regarding bumping to 20mg. My goal for the cycle is strength/recomp rather than bulking. Would I get better strength gains at 20 or just transient, glycogen based weight gain? Is it all user dependent? Obviously if sides get too bad, I would go back down to 10. I've also been wondering if I should run 3 or 4 weeks. The test should be doing it's thing by mid week 4. What do yall think?

Not sure where it would go maybe the rising sun but i don't know
After a horrific car crash, Dr Tenma lost his beloved son Tobio. Out of grief, he built a robotic son named Astro as a replacement; but soon after, Dr Tenma had the boy deactivated and put into a deep sleep. In the present, the scientist Dr O'Shea finds Astro and risks everything to reactivate him, train him to be a hero of justice, and raise him to be a functioning member of society.

Pokémon: The Movie 2000 : The Power of One
Description: A greedy collector, Lawrence III, wants to capture the legendary Pokemon, Lugia. But in order to do so, he must capture the Titans of Fire, Ice, and Lightning. The titans are powerful bird-like Pokemon, and if they are disturbed they will wage a war against eachother which will ultimately result in earth's destruction. Ash, Misty, and Tracey get caught up in the situation when they end up being washed ashore onto Shamouti Island. Soon after, Ash meets a girl named Melody who sends him into a mission where he must collect the 3 Orbs which will quell the fighting, but first Ash must gain help from the Beast of the Sea, Lugia, if he's to suceed.
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon:_The_Movie_2000
Youtube: Trailer, Toonami Promo
Reason: Since Heavy's suggestion seems so popular, and since this movie along with the first and the third are pretty awesome and nostalgic, I feel this movie fits on TA (especially if we end up showing Orange Island saga). It also played on Toonami.
Pokémon 3: The Movie : Spell of the Unown
Description: Young Molly Hale is a 5-year old girl who has lost her father to the Unown, a strange group of Pokemon who can make a person's dreams real by using their Psychic energy. One day she accidently releases the Unown, and they begin to answer Molly's wishes; first by creating Entei, a legendary lion-like Pokemon who Molly then thinks is her father because he always pretended to be Entei when he played with her. Molly then feels lonely because she has no mother, so Entei decides to kidnap Ash's mother and forces her to become Molly's. Ash, Brock, and Misty must then try to save Ash's mom, Delia, and Molly; And in the process they must also try to find a way to stop the Unown from turning the town of Greenfield into a bizarre crystal wasteland.
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_3:_The_Movie
Youtube: Trailer, Toonami Promo
Reason: 3 words: Post-Apocalyptic Pokémon World. But for real, this movie is pretty good for a Pokémon film. Its probably my 3rd favorite (following the first and second) and probably where I draw the line for pokémon films lol. I think its quite nostalgia worthy not to mention that it was also played on Toonami. So why the hell not add it to a Sunday film lineup.
Show: Pokemon: Orange Islands
Description: After completing the indigo league championship and returning home, Ash plans to travel to the orange islands with Misty, Pikachu, and Brock, who later leaves. They later run into a Pokemon watcher named Tracey.
Wiki Page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon:_Adventures_on_the_Orange_Islands_episodes
Theme Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VCQROTe7oU&feature=related
Time Slot: 4:00 pm (upon completion of the original Pokemon series)
Reason: I am sure some dedicated fans of the Pokemon would like to not only relive the original Pokemon series but to give the Orange Islands Series a start as well. Please give this show a chance I am sure you would like re-learn all the orange island Pokemon along the way. I like the Lapras that ash rides on during the journey.
For the Mods: If I miss any element of show suggestion in this thread, please let me know and i will be happy to make the changes.
While looking for his Father Kit Taylor finds an advent deck which allows him to become Kamen Rider Dragon Knight and joins other Riders to take on Xaviax
Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamen_Rider:_Dragon_Knight
Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBiP9OXY9nw
It came on while I was in 9th grade but I barely got to watch it but by 2010 i got into Kamen Rider but since we can't have subs this is the next best thing because it closely adapts the story it was based on. I could see it on here but only if Power Rangers came on to play next to it I think it would only work in that instense . what do you guys think
So as I was talking about earlier today with a fellow user (unnamed) who had his points for disagreeing, I figured I would start a Discussion Topic about it.
Movies, books, manga/graphic novels, music, paintings, sculptures, the list goes on. We all have our pleasantries in life, what we view as "art". Now admittedly, any old game can also be called "art" in its own way. But im focusing this more toward a serious direction. Gaming as we know it is more of entertainment. A momentary escape from reality, something based on fun and leisure. As are movies, books, etc. Yet we come to a road where these things must be taken more seriously, to be seen as a deeper form of art. Mindless, poorly written and developed sequel pushers such as Infinity Ward, Rockstar certain companies dominate the market for the masses.
We get it, freedom to make as you see fit your own creations. We're all fans of different gameplays, they give their fans what they want etc etc fine and dandy but put in more than just a little effort and it can go a long way. There are valuable examples out there that stand out. Studios and games that went above and beyond to really tie together Enjoyment and Creativity in the gaming industry to create "Art" in a sophisticated and intellectual way. Feel free to fill in the blanks there.
TL;DR - Do you like the gaming industry as it stands? Standing atop are the big name money making studios producing essentially the same games year after year? Would you like to see more video games crack down and expand their horizons beyond best selling simple First Person Shooters and what have you? Or do you believe that there are enough "Artsy" games and you want more entertainment in gaming at the cost of further creativity?
If someone said I would spend 30 dollars on a game just to get a mod for it, I'd tell them they were crazy.
But I did it and it was totally worth it.
Day Z takes place in the country of Chenarus, a 225 km2 open world simulator where the only goal is to survive. Not only is the world infested with zombies, but you have to worry about other players too. Friend or foe? You won't know until it's too late.
This mod takes realism to a level I haven't seen before. You have to eat and drink to survive, you have to rest to regain stamina (otherwise you can't aim well), take medication to heal broken bones and cure your pains, and keep a healthy temperature or you'll die from a cold. As for weapons, they range from pistols to shotguns to machine guns to crossbows, but you'll spend a lot of time sneaking into zombie infested towns to get the best supplies. You can also find maps, compasses, and more to help navigate. However if you die, you have to start over with the basic equipment.
While this game can be challenging, and you might die a lot, it's a lot of fun. I've never had so much fun walking through an open world, completely paranoid that I might get sniped by another player or ambushed by zombies. The mod is still in alpha, so there are still bugs and issues, but all in all it's an amazingly fun game. I just spent 6 hours playing it with friends.
For more information, you can visit their website: http://dayzmod.com/
To play the game, you'll need to buy Arma II: Combined Operations(Arma II and Arma II: Operation Arrowhead) from Steam and download the necessary files from the Day Z website. Tutorials can be found in the forums if ya don't know how.
I also found a pretty neat play through of this mod on Youtube. In the first episode they start out in two different groups of 10 or so, but are slowly widdled down to 2.
For those who don't know Halo Legends is a collection of seven short anime films set in the Halo science-fiction universe. Financed by Halo franchise overseer343 Industries, the stories were created by six Japanese production houses: Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio 4°C, and Toei Animation. Shinji Aramaki, creator and director of Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina, serves as the project's creative director. Warner Bros.
I was wondering since it is anime and it is also by Warner Bros that the first place it would go is toonami i was thinking it could be shown back to back like Interstella 5555 or be shown in segments what do you guys think
Here's the trailer

HOUGHTON COUNTY -- As Christmas approaches, airport officials nationwide say air travel will continue to get heavier. On the ground, about 90 percent of holiday travel will be done by car. Either way, holidays can be the worst time to travel, but here in the U.P., so far things are going smoothly at Houghton County Airport. With only a couple of days left until Christmas, the airport lobby was full of people picking others up or waiting to board the next plane. Good weather has helped many of the flights stay on schedule, though there have been a few delays due to traffic or weather in Chicago.
"Our loads are normal, and normal means that they're heavy. So it's always a good idea that people get to airports early and give themselves enough time because if they're late, sometime they have to be left behind," said Airport Manager, Dennis Hext
The extra baggage people travel with during the holidays can also be a hassle, so officials recommend knowing which items you're checking ahead of time.

By Alicia Banks Staff writer
SPRING LAKE - For Alfred Marshall, the time to pray is now.
Marshall, pastor of Without Walls One Accord Church of God, is inviting people to a "Night of Prayer Youth Vigil" tonight at the Spring Lake Recreation Center.
Marshall said recent deaths of area youth sparked the need for the vigil. Sixteen-year-old Ashton Foxx was shot last month after an argument at a party. He was a basketball player at Westover High School. A young girl, who police have yet to identify, died after the vehicle she drove crashed into a tree early Sunday in Fayetteville.
Seventy-First High School football player Evan Raines collapsed, then died, after a team workout earlier this month.
"With school about to start, we just want our children to be safe this year," Marshall said. "We want God to protect them. It's sad to see our youth just dying and they're our future."
The vigil will include musical entertainment and testimonies from youth about why they turned their lives around. Fayetteville native Ryan Ford, 20, started his first year of college this week without his best friend, William Trower. Trower was shot to death in 2011. Ford said witnessing his best friend's death influenced his decision to turn his life to God.
Now, he's a minister and said prayer should be an important factor in anyone's life.
"He was killed by mistaken identity, and I realized how easy it was to leave this Earth," Ford said. "We need to come together and come on one accord."
One event organizer, Renee Higgins, said Ashton Foxx's death moved her. Plans to host the prayer vigil came soon after.
"There are a lot of kids in these streets. We have got to get out there and make some changes," she said.
The recreation center is at 245 Ruth St. The vigil starts at 7 p.m.

Diablo 3 Waypoints & Townportal
We all remember the scroll of townportal from Diablo 2, its back though with some limitations in Diablo 3.
Traveling is again handled by waypoints as in Diablo 2. We thought about mounts, but when we designed the world, we decided there wouldn't be any need for them. The idea of town portals we wanted to reject, since from the viewpoint of being in the middle of a fight, it's very easy to abuse, simply disappearing.It just goes back to being the kind of thing we don't want. Players often go back to town more when they really need to. But if you give players the opportunity every two minutes to town portal, they'll take advantage of that and carry every last piece of loot, even worthless things, back to town effortlessly, which isn't very fun. That's why we wanted to move away from that. We also looked back on the original Diablo to get a feel for dungeons being difficult to escape from, but Diablo 2 never balanced this very well like we have now. We want the player not to be stuck in a dungeon forever, we want to provide intervals where they can go back. We don't want players to have to keep dropping items, but we also don't want them to be able to go back as often as they want like in Diablo 2. There are a lot of pros and cons and we're currently balancing it all. The removal of town portals is beginning to feel bad, because everyone was accustomed to it, but we're trying our best to find the right way to do this so that the game doesn't suffer for it.
An example of this, my favorite Diablo 2 example, Duriel, the boss of Act 2. He dealt massive damage, had huge amounts of health, inflicted freeze effects and is waiting directly at the entrance of an extremely small room. He's very brutal, but the only reason he was so difficult was because the player had to use town portals constantly, was always running away, drinking potions, etc., and it was almost frustrating. This is why we've taken care in how the health system has been changed. We want to avoid situations where a player is repeatedly using town portals and coming back until the boss is killed. This isn't a particularly fascinating way to do it. We want to create a system where the bosses are challenging without frustrating the player.
One thing we're trying with our waypoints is adding a "town portal" like ability to it. Previously in a Diablo 2 game, if a friend wanted to catch up, he'd have to yell "TP! TP!" and wait until someone portals them to where they are. This isn't a very good way to get players together, because it requires the other players to drop what they're doing to summon a portal in a safe spot. That's why we're allowing waypoints to teleport you directly to other players. The player steps on the waypoint, clicks the function "Teleport to friend" (this won't be the final name of the function, it'll certainly change) and immediately a list of other players in the game appears and he can click to teleport to them. This takes the load off the existing players who are already out playing and might be in the middle of a fight, and it also allows everyone to catch up. I know this is a fairly long answer. For all these features, we're just trying to decide whether the advantages of them outweighs any disadvantages, and then try and implement them.
