Celebrating over 300 Followers with a Give-Away!
And speaking of exciting: To celebrate 300+ Followers, I am itching to give-away some goodies!
How to win? Simply leave me a comment today or tomorrow (Tuesday or Wednesday) about what you enjoy most about my blog specifically and I'll pool all those comments and pull a winner. Please be specific too, because I'd really like to know... Is it the Tim Holtz projects I make? Is it the Close To My Heart projects? Is it the step-by-step photos, is it simply the inspiration? Is it for the stimulating reading material? (wink) Educate me with your feedback.
While you do that, I'll be here in my studio getting more things ready for the upcoming Tim Holtz cruise (this Sunday! I'm ready to burst!) I leave you with a photo of something fun I made for the "Master" himself. (I made one for Mario too, shhhh.) Enjoy your day and thank you again for stopping by.

Congratulations on 300+ followers! I follow blogs for different reasons, some for the cards, some for stamping techniques, scrapbooking layouts, altered items, etc. What I love about your blog is that it has some of everything, and it's all done so well. I'm also a CTMH consultant, so I'm particularly interested in all your CTMH related projects/posts. Thanks for all the inspiration!

Congratulations, Annette!! I love all of your creativeness, and your witty repertoire. ;) (Really, I do!) The Tim stuff is awesome, and as a fellow consultant, of course I love the CTMH posts. But I think my absolute favorite part is the pic by pic tutorials. You are SUCH an awesome crafter, way better than I can ever hope to be!

Dark Storm Video Doc 1
Nov 23, 2013 Dark Storm News 1 commentIn this first dev diary of many The Creators of Dark Storm (Javonni Ortiz & Robert Smith) , One of the Lead Artists (Scott Webber) and our Lead Programmer...
Well, this group is for 40k (But NOT at all limited to, this is open to all Science Fiction and Fantasy) writers (And Fans!) to help each other in their writings, story lines, getting publish, editing and whatever! Since the "40k Fan Group" is the most popular group here on Moddb (besides it being far from biggest, Moddb.com), it could be cool to have something like this around for those of us who like to just think up our own stories, hell even if you like to draw awesome sci-fi/fantasy stuff (it doesn't even have to be 40k oriented), YOUR ALL WELCOME!
(CAUTION: I dunno if it would be such a great idea to post work you've done on here for EVERYONE to see, cause obviously... we can't stop anyone from being a plagiarizing SOB, so I'd say find someone/s to help you in editing your raw text)
Recommended Reading, For help with Writing! (Not meaning to be a good/great writer, you need to be taught from others, which i do NOT agree with, but these books can be helpful in their tips, strategies, and even give you the information you need on where and how to submit your work for publication! Should you decide to buy any of these... unfortunately i can't paste a link... otherwise i would... but should you decide to but any, most if not all of these books are used in College classes, and therefore would be found on online College Textbook stores, such as Half.com, which is usually the best to shop at, or websites that sell masses of books. It may NOT be the lowest though (Half.com), so shop around a bit before you purchase. Amazon.com is also good... sometimes... Just a thought!)
"Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft" [ Authors: Janet Burroway, Elizibeth Stuckey-French, and Ned Stuckey-French] (I guess any edition will do... i got the 8th though. A really good little book full of tips n strategies from many well off and accomplished authors.. again... not that thats needed, but can help! It focuses on Fiction in general, and everything it talks about can be easily used in Science Fiction or Fantasy writing, from character makeup, making the world, even sentence structure, all about story writing! Very useful book. I like.)
"How to Write Science Fiction and Fantasy" [ Author: Orson Scott Card... the guy who wrote "Enders Game" ] (Well, i wouldn't let the title of this book scare you off, i've heard it is a extreme help and pleasure to read, chalk full of tips and idea's for going around and trying to get published. If you don't know about Mr. Orson Scott Card, he wrote a very well know SF book called "Enders Game", it even talks about how he started. I plan on getting it, and have heard the information applies to other fiction as well. Im sure its useful!)
"2012 Novel and Short Story Writer's Market" [ Editor: Adria Haley ] (All i can completely say for sure about this book, is that its awesome. Obviously you'll want to get the newest one when it comes out, every year. It tells you Publishing Company information for about every outlet of written work possible. From literary magazines, to online whatevers, to even Novels. It lists all the Publishing companies... most of whom are US Based, and what they're looking for in new material. Tells you how and when to submit your work, and what you chances are! I would say its a MUST GET if you plan on someday getting a book/short story published! Its not just for fiction btw... if you like writing essays its got companies for that as well as SF, Fantasy. Just get it, its well worth it.)
Word Counter (Literally counts how many words you got, say if your going to be submitting your work somewhere, sometimes you need to know how many words you have... and this will tell you.)
(It's a program that'll not only fix your grammer, but it'll do all the spelling n chit like that for you as well, and it'll ask you about it before it fixes it! CAUTION: This is just a trial thingamagig, so if you buy the program, BE CAREFUL, they kinda cheated me out of $100 and it was too late for a refund before i found out. Its an awesome program tho.)
Spell Check Test
(It's a super super simple spell checker, doesn't deal with any grammar or nothing like, but it at least does the job that's in its name)
(Well this is LIKE "Grammarly", sept im sure its somehow more restrictive... maybe. It checks your spelling and grammar, then tells you whats wrong, BUT, its up to you to fix it. Btw, when you press "Check Text" a message will pop up, don't freak out, its just some advertising BS for the company, just click "OK" and it'll check the text you entered. Oh ya, and its "free".)
Black Library "Bringing the worlds of Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 to life."
The new 2011 Black Library (the guys that publish all 40k books and Warhammer fantasy) open submission window has closed unfortunately... I myself (greencrab) submitted a short and we'll see where that goes, the new open submission window will probably stay closed (sometimes they open it for specific type of stories they want) until this time next year (2012), anywho, keep writing, and DON'T STOP!
anywho, if your thinking bout submitting a novel/short story to 'em, here are the guidelines!
For Warhammer Fantasy Writers (Lore/Fluff information)
LEXICANUM "Unofficial Warhammer Encyclopedia"
(Basically the Wikipedia for Warhammer Fantasy, same website as its 40k cousin, only its all on Warhammer Fantasy, will help with Fantasy Lore/Fluff. Unfortunately, the WH Fantasy Lexicanum is NOWHERE NEAR as well stocked with information or as well maintained as the 40K one is, :/ )
For the Warhammer 40,000 writers, here's some help for the lore (or if you wana call it "fluff"... ), so you can make your writing as accurate as POSSIBLE!
LEXICANUM "The unofficial Warhammer 40,000 Encyclopedia"
(Basically the Wikipedia for WH:40K)
Wikia "Timeline of the Warhammer 40,000 universe"
(basically... ya... its exactly what the quote is, from the "Old Ones" way before the Imperium, or Man, to the current 40k Universe)
(Or, for more specialized information... may want to double check with Lexicanum or the previous link.)
In this first dev diary of many The Creators of Dark Storm (Javonni Ortiz & Robert Smith) , One of the Lead Artists (Scott Webber) and our Lead Programmer...
In this second video blog, Chase (Lead Engineer )and Kenny(Sound Engineer) discuss the music and sound fx of Dark Storm and an introduction to their division...
Just a little bit from the story that I am writing.
This is a novel i am hoping to get published, will update eventually, cant say when but will be within at least 2 weeks of this release :D
The Praetorian Chapter's early history. I think I *MIGHT* update this sometime.
What do you guys think about science fiction and horror? I like to put in some occult elements in my writings (guess I am a satanist).
Well, space is always an excellent ground for horror, as shown by the Alien movies ;) One thing you might want to consider is cross genre writing. Technically, sci-fi/horror is cross genre, but you could also do something like a space setting, with artificial jungle environments, or battle simulations. This open's up plenty of space for horror. Another thing would be non-tangible horror, such as being trapped and crazy, or something along those lines. I've never been one for horror, but It would be cool to see occult/fantasy elements in a scifi story.
uh well Science Fiction horror done well is AWESOME, i havn't read much that really makes me scared or shooken up, but when i do, its awesome. Post some of yours stuff, something unique in the group would be welcome to everyone
I posted a story. It`s a twisted work really.
do it! looking forward to reading new material!
Hey, guys! This is exactly the kind of group I'm looking for! I would really like to join! I'm pretty new on ModDB, so I'm not sure if I simply have to click join group, or if you have to authorize me...
no, go ahead and just press Join!
ya man, finals just ended for me and a bet a bunch o the other guys, so we have time to (or at least i do now) start critiquing or helping each other with our writings!

133 held in Met licensing crackdown
6:07am Saturday 30th June 2012 in National News © Press Association 2013
More than 130 people have been arrested as part of a Metropolitan Police crackdown on unlicensed activity across the capital.
The two day operation began on Friday and has so far seen officers visit 2,525 London venues.
Police have targeted shops, supermarkets, pubs and clubs as part of the initiative, as well as minicab drivers and betting shops.
Scotland Yard has described the crackdown, which is codenamed Operation Condor and involves 1,500 officers from across all 32 boroughs, as one of the biggest policing operations of the year so far.
A total of 133 people were arrested on Friday with officers reporting or disclosing 327 offences. Around 1,000 counterfeit cigarettes, 50 litres of counterfeit vodka, 300 packs of chewing tobacco and 250 cases of alcohol was also seized.
It comes after a similar operation in February that saw 4,896 licensed premises visited over a period of 48 hours.
A total of 658 licensing breaches were identified with police making 420 arrests.
Commander Mak Chishty, who is leading the operation, said: "Operation Condor is back again and will continue to target those who flout licensing laws.
"Licensing laws are there for good reason, breaking them is not acceptable and is illegal. Those who break the laws harm our communities by selling knives, harmful substances or alcohol to young people will be targeted."
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "Whether it's unlicensed minicabs which endanger women, the illegal sale of alcohol or the selling of weapons to our young people, this immoral behaviour contributes to serious crime across London. That is why operations like this by the Met are so important and I hope this crackdown will be every bit as successful as past efforts."

Humphrey Middle School student to lead Athletic Oath at track state finals
DOWNERS GROVE – Humphrey Middle School eighth-grader Jazontae Howard has been given the honor of presenting the Oath of Athletes at the start of the Illinois Elementary School Association's Class AA State Track Meet May 17 at the Eastside Centre in East Peoria.
Howard earned the honor with an outstanding performance downstate last year as a seventh-grader when he won the 100-yard dash, finished fifth in the long jump and was a member of the Humphrey 4x100 relay team that finished second.
On May 11, he and his teammates will join athletes from all five Valley View School District middle schools at the Brooks Middle School regional in an effort to qualify for 2013 state competition.

She's proud of how her sister's memory is kept alive. Three learning centers in Chicago bear her name. Carole Robertson Day is observed each year by chapters of Jack and Jill of America, a national organization their mother helped lead that exists to empower youth.
Her big regret is not being able to know her sister as an adult. Back when Carole was her "bratty little sister," a five-year age gap seemed significant. Today, she knows it wouldn't have meant a thing.
One victim, two perspectives
Fate Morris, a 61-year-old disabled veteran, moves carefully. His speech is slightly off, the right side of his body partially paralyzed, the result of a stroke he had after open-heart surgery 10 years ago.
He was the baby in a family of eight children, being raised by a struggling single mother, when his sister Cynthia went to live with the Wesleys. She was smart and brimming with potential; the Wesleys -- both educators who couldn't have children of their own -- were able to nurture her in a way their mother couldn't.
"They fell in love with her and could send her to better schools," he says. "We missed her a lot, but we all knew it was for the best." She did come home on weekends, though, returning to the Wesleys on Sundays, he says. To him, she never stopped being a Morris.
In his mind, she was 10 or 11 when she left. As proof, he points to a portrait of her in a dress made by their mother; he says the picture was taken when Cynthia was 9. But others -- including childhood friends who only knew her as a Wesley -- have always said she was about 6. Figuring out who's right, when relatives say no formal adoption was ever processed, would be hard to do.
Memory can be a brutal weapon, and it has haunted and beaten up Fate ever since Cynthia died.
He was 11 and at home, three blocks away from the church, when he heard and felt the explosion. He came down the street to find an angry crowd, yelling at police who had gathered outside. With a 14-year-old friend, he says, he began helping remove debris.
"Someone said, 'I got another body over here,'" he remembers, as tears start to fall. "Then the last thing I heard was, 'I got a body over here, but she has no head.'"
That was Cynthia.
"I didn't know she went to 16th Street Baptist Church until the day she was found," he says.
Every day at about 4 a.m., for 50 years, Fate says he's wept remembering that moment and how he responded. He ran away. He couldn't stay. And he can't forgive himself for it.
"I wasn't there for her," he sobs in his dark-paneled home just outside Birmingham. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. My friend said 'You should've stayed,' and I didn't stay. I left her buried. Fifty years I've been living with this. ... What could I have done for her? I left her. I knew she was gone, but what bothered me is I left her."
This was a secret he kept for years. He never told his mother he was there that day.
Fate cries openly like no other surviving sibling seems to do. He guesses this is because of the guilt he says he carries. He says he never got help to deal with the emotions that overcome him. He tried, saying he met with psychiatrists, but says they didn't believe his story. He blames the ignorance of young doctors who didn't understand what was going on at that time.
Cynthia's funeral, the one that was held for three of the four girls, included a eulogy by King. Fate says his family stood near the back as the Wesleys took their place by the casket of his sister who shared their name.
"We had to virtually hold my mother up," he remembers.
As the years went on and Cynthia Wesley was mentioned in the media, he says he asked his mother if hearing that name bothered her. She told him it did. He asked if she wanted to do anything about it. She said, "No. I don't want to drag her name through the mud."
But his mother died in 1988, and Fate, who says he's the only surviving Morris sibling, helped wage battles she never did. He says he hired a lawyer to prove that Cynthia had never been adopted. He points to copies of her birth certificate and an amendment to her death certificate, certified in 2002, that lists Cynthia's birth name and birth parents.
At one point, he says, he hoped for restitution for her death, but today he believes if it was going to come, it should have happened long ago.
For now, he says, he'd be happy to see his sister's name changed to Morris in history books, on historic markers and on her grave.
"I know it would make my mother happy," he says. "And it might give me peace of mind."
Fate's struggle is one Shirley Wesley King, 63, feels compassion for, but she's been where Cynthia was and has a different view.
There's a long history of informal adoptions in the black community, she explains. That is how both she and Cynthia became Wesleys, though Shirley would join the family in 1964, after Cynthia was gone.

Comfortable and clean room (with poor view though), good price, efficient staff and close to the bus / train station were major benefits to us.

There has been enormous progress in embedding the use of analytics at lower levels of companies. But according to Thomas H. Davenport, professor at Babson College and one of the best-known thinkers about analytics and business intelligence, the upper levels of companies haven't kept up.
Five years ago, analytics practitioners spent about 95% of their time reporting on the past and only about 5% on analysis. Most companies were not really focused on the issue of analytics.
While reporting is good, it's not enough. Companies need to understand why those data turned out the way they did, what it might do in the future and how they might optimize a particular one of those variables.
Thomas H. Davenport, President's Chair in Information Technology and Management at Babson College, says the potential for analytics to become a critical tie to decision making remains an untapped opportunity for most companies. In a new MIT SMR interview, Davenport explores why the proliferation of data has not led to better decision-making.
Davenport looks at the challenges that lie in the way of analytics being embraced by executives and how they can use analysis to understand and manage their business more effectively.

Title: Will buy these again
Date: May 31, 2012
Good quality for the price. The only thing I found weird is the size of the top. It seems bigger than it should taking into account the size of the handle. Nothing important, this quality at this price cannot be found somewhere else.

If you want tons of spectators and glossy pics of your achievement, this is not the marathon for you. Nor if you want water & ice every mile marker. Support available every 4 miles. Be advised of the usual trail hazards turned ankles, falls, lots and lots of mud. Beautiful scenery, a challenging course and great post-race dinner make this a run I'll try again.
I enjoyed this trail race. It was challenging and I won't recommended for a 1st marathon. The course consisted of running a 8.5mile loop 3 times. The loop itself was a single-track trail with a long downhill that had a switchback, a flat section along a river, and a long uphill. There were logs, roots, sand, stones, rocks, etc. This year, it rained and the trail got muddy. It was my first trail marathon, and I appreciated the familiarity with the trail after the 1st loop. Ran with my road shoes (Brooks Adrenalin) and I had reasonably good traction. Saw others with trail shoes, but they seems to have similar traction issues that I had (it got quite muddy). Nonethless, if you have trail shoes, I'd recommend it. The race was chip-timed, and your time would be slow. It was obvious that the organizers, Cynthia and Todd have been doing this for a while. The trail was extremely well-marked. There were 2 aid stations with assorted foods, Heed drink and water, located at start and at mid-point of the loop. (I had a water-bottle.) Warning about fan support: don't do this race if you need them. The post-race food and drinks were diverse and plentiful. They had a tent and a fire to keep warm. The medal was a wooden Christmas ornament, which now hangs proudly on my tree. Stayed at Golden Manor Inn, which I recommend. Overall, a fun race.
This trail marathon was awesome! There was a ton of breakfast food & drink before the race with a nice bonfire to keep the hands warm, all in a very nice park setting. There was a short stretch of road to thin the crowd out before heading into the woods. After a pleasant start the rain came and the trails proved to be very slippery indeed. Lots of runners went down, especially the ones who ran in road shoes. At one point I was going way too fast down a hill, slid out of control. Nearly kissed a tree. Brushed it off and slowed down a bit after that! Seemed that most runners elected to run the 8 or 16 mile distance, which was 1 or two loops, respectively. There was excellent support from the two aid stations which were spaced out along the 8 mile loop. Lots of options for fuel. Best part came at the end. The FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! I couldn't stop eating the chili and the soup. Couldn't have made it better myself. Had 3 bowls. Very nice touch to have the race director at the fire serving up the steaming hot chili! Would highly recommend this race to anyone who loves to run the trails. Bring your appetite!
Don't run this marathon unless you are a very expereinced trail runner! The website described it as 'very runnable' - but that is NOT TRUE. The line of runners backed up whenever there was an obstacle on the trail (e.g. huge tree trunks to crawl over, fallen limbs that were too high to jump, 1-foot wide path along a 30-ft drop into the river, steep ascents that people walked up, etc.), so we stood and/or walked in several parts. You definitely cannot run your own pace - you are at the mercy of the other runners and the narrow trail. I'm normally a 3:35-4:05 marathoner, but this course took me 5:10. I chose it because I'm a 50-stater and wanted to cross KY off my list. I'd recommend ANY OTHER race in KY over this one!! Cons: * Very tough trail with several steep ascents and plenty of rocks/roots etc. to trip over * Only 2 water stations on this loop course - 1 ran out of food and the other closed before I got there!! * The website provides no info on the course elevation * No marathoners stuck around post-race. Everyone got in their cars and drove away (I wonder if everyone else was thinking 'good riddance' to this course the same way I was.) * There are plenty of roots etc. to trip over on this course. I fell hard on my final loop and when I crossed the finish line and asked for medical help, I was told the woman working the grill was an RN and could help me when she was done cooking. (Seriously?!) * All in all, it's a dangerous trail. If you got hurt on the trail, I think it would be a LONG time before you got any help * I saw people run off trail because it wasn't clearly marked * The medal was a wooden circle that didn't list the distance (probably because they used the same one for the 8 and 16 mile races). Same with the shirt. * I'm wondering what my $70 entry fee paid for?! Pros: * pretty scenery (if you can take your eyes off the trail)
This marathon was truly one of the most difficult things that I have ever done! I gave the course 5 stars because it is beautiful and well marked, but it is VERY challenging. Narrow, muddy trails... rocks... roots, but spectacular views. I had to really watch the trail... yes, I fell in the mud... so I missed a lot of the scenery! The organization is outstanding. Thanks to the very dedicated race directors! There is no place for spectators, but the volunteers at the two aid stations are wonderful! A great and friendly group, a beautiful place, but a most difficult marathon! I'm glad that I took the challenge!
Wow, this was most likely the last year for this event and the park. That is very sad. Ok, so there really aren't ANY spectators, but that really isn't what you should be looking for on a trail marathon. The course was the most brutal thing I have ever done to myself. But also the most rewarding. Finishing that last loop and crossing the finish line was sublime. You know you earned that one. I wouldn't have made it without my new friend Deb. Her determination kept me going. Nor would I have made it without Tim. When the water stop was abandoned by the youngsters, Tim was able to meet us at the top of the last cliff with water. I am truly blessed to know such great people. Thank you, Cynthia and Todd.
I love this race. I've run two years, and plan to make 2008 year #3. Cindy and Todd put on a nice trail race. It is a trail race, so it is not for the meek. If you don't know trails, then you might find your footing loose. But, those experienced on trails should have a blast. The advantage of a trail marathon is that your legs are not as sore in the morning. In 2007 they had a wonderful downpour. I loved it. It just made the experience that much more exhilarating and challenging. It's not often that you get a chance to finish 26.2 miles with 12-inch-deep water running down the course. :)
I am almost two months out from this race and I look back on it as one of the most physically and mentally challenging things that I have ever done. I also feel that it was one of the most rewarding things that I have ever done. I wear my ugly shirt as a badge of honor. I would recommend this race to anyone who wants to be challenged. It was a beautiful course and the hard driving rain made it all the better becasue you really felt that you took on everything that Mother Nature could throw at you. It was tough but it was really fun.
I walked/jogged this with a new friend and we came in last place after 9:25. (I usually run a 5 to 5:30 marathon). I love the fact that we finished this challenging course, but was miserable often times during the race. Had it not been for my new buddy I would not have made it to the finish. This was only my 20th marathon and by far the toughest one yet. I have done a few rails to trails marathons in West Virginia and Maryland but this is NOT that kind of trail run! The trail was already muddy from the previous day's rain. Then the rain, thunder and lightning during the marathon added to our adventures. You will love this marathon if you like running or hiking in deep sticky mud where you slip and slide or your shoes get sucked off with nearly every step. If you enjoy rocky often time narrow trails like the ones where you risk ankle twisting with most foot strikes, you will have a blast. And if rapid running streams or steep rocky hills interest you, then this is the marathon for you. I gave 4 stars for the course because it was very well marked, and a beautiful trail. Just keep in mind this truly is a trail marathon. Loved the view but hated it most of the time I was out there. I gave organization and spectators a 5 because Cynthia and Todd did such a wonderful job. Todd gave us a flashlight after the second lap because he knew it would be dark before we finished. He also was really the only spectator because he came out on the course on our last lap to remove markers and walked in with us. They stayed until we finished, and we even had hot soup and other homemade goodies waiting for us! Thank you Cynthia and Todd. If you like true trail marathoning, then this is an experience you don't want to miss. Just know this is a tough course. Ps. My husband and I stayed in the cutest cabin at Otter Creek the night before the race. We had a beautiful but foggy view of the Ohio River. On our way home Monday we went to Mammoth Cave National Park, which is about 1 hour south of Otter Creek.
I thought the trail was beautiful - plenty to look at when you had the chance - and given conditions, it was in good shape. The mud in the first 2 loops was tough to get footing on. It was actually easier on the 3rd loop when the trail became a fast-moving creek. Could have done without the lightning, but overall a lot of fun. Very small race, but great organization, and good people all around.

In a new promo for the Academy Awards broadcast on Feb. 24, host Seth MacFarlane visits the infamous Bates Motel from Psycho — where he is staying in a room adjacent to where the shower scene in the Alfred Hitchcock film takes place.
MacFarlane, though, has no appreciation for the classics. "Keep it down! I have a meeting in four hours!" he yells over the screams of Janet Leigh. He then sighs and says to himself: " Rednecks."

In my oppinion berzerker is srsly op. Although in every game i played people (1650-1750) fail on him completly and thats probably main reason of "weak-cry", those players usually have big problems in getting over 200 gpm on any sort of hero so their oppinion is pretty worthless.
The fact is that in couple of games that i was matched against berzerker, even tho his farm was thrashi and he had boots + blacklegion at 30 min mark, he was still able to kill most of people on my team. 350 gpm ew needed to run away from a 200 gpm berzerker couz she just couldnt stand autoattack fight (ye he was getting killed fast, but so did she).
Everyone is saying that zerk isnt op because of the increased dmg that he recives, but i belive thats just too easy to avoid when playing him:
1. You dont have to use your ult imidietaly, before fight
2. Get a barbed armor (90% of the noob people that are spreading all over hon atm, doesnt prob know how to use i properly)
3. Let your team initiate the fight
Another thing is that his ulit debuff resistance can be considered like a free semi-sh in terms of making you debuff immune at lvl 3. Yes you can still be bursted down but for sure you wont get disables in a normal decent-like game during a big teamfight. I mean who would waste their 2s stun to ministun smb for 0.5s, same goes for slows.
The best part of berzerker is that because of free inbuild dmg + free damage resistance + free movement speed + free attack speed you can build a lot of usefull items for which you wouldnt had slots before when late game arrove -> shaman heardress, barbed amor.
And not sure if its only me but elder parasite looks insane on that hero in terms of late game. You get ton of hp, i would say around 4k, pop up ep + ulti 35% damage increase charge in and use barbed. If they try to fight you back, they will get huge damage in return. Yes you will die but when combining dmg done with ep active + the reflected dmg im pretty sure that enemys will be low enouigh to let your team finish them.
In my oppinion berzerker is a pretty unbalanced hero atm. Hes great early, mid and i belive that late game as well makes him another "good in almost every way" hero made by S2. I just want to point 1 important thing that makes most of people fail on it. Dont build team of 4 people all sorounded around that zerk. Get a 2 carry team. Berzerker is just meant to do ton of dmg focus attention of all enemys (prob die couz of that) and let the other carry make a cleanup. That hero can be very dangerous in teamfights even with very low farm. As soon as players/team will learn how to use him properly im almost sure he will have huge impact in every game that he was picked.
It is only 400g for a very effective protective item agaisnt magic nukes. It would be a different story if instead he required a Headress to outweight the increased incoming damage from magic nukes (specifically Artesia's nukes) when Carnage is active. Even considering this, Shrunked Head is still a possible pick-up, especially for a carry.
The hero currently has a base 0.25 hp regen when it's supposed to be 1.5 or 1.75. I can't remember the base, but I do know it's pretty dang high for melee heroes.
Strength Sap can give up to 100 hp regen per second. The likelihood of that happening is slim to none, but still. That's nice.
I personally think the ult needs slow immunity, mostly because it kills me how easy it is for opponents to escape taking damage from it. The only time it shines is if an opponent gets into a right-clicking contest.
Wait, so you somehow turned elder parasite and his ult's damage taken increase into a good thing? wat? Why don't all heroes just stack HP and make barbed armor then?
Berzerker does a lot of single target damage. However, there are quite a few reasons why he isn't overpowered, and might be, in fact, underpowered (I havn't come to a conclusion yet).
His farming capability is horrid. The only thing that comes close to a farming skill is his second ability, and that does 200 AoE damage. This hero can't farm, and relies on dominating his lane and getting early hero kills to snowball into late game.
He has no escape abilities, and has to be facing an enemy for his third ability to work. Combined with his 20% taken damage from his ult, he is VERY easy to focus down.
Much like CD (without the range and AoE damage), it takes berzerker a while to build up his damage. First he has to hit his second ability, then he his to target somone with his third ability, then he has to hit his ult, then he has to root somone. It doesn't matter in what order he does this, the fact is that he has to use all of his abilities (some with cast times, some without) before he can start to output heavy damage.
His damage is COMPLETELY reliant on his ultimate. If his ultimate isn't on, he hits like a wet noodle. This isn't so bad once he hits level 16, with a 12 second duration and 30 second cooldown, but at level 6 with an 8 second duration, 20% extra damage taken, and only 40% debuff reduction it's easy to stun him and run until it turns off.
The thing about berzerker is you can't just buy items to fix all of his problems because he can't farm as well as a normal carry. He's also extremely easy to kill because of the 20% extra damage he takes while his ult is on.
One of the key things you're forgetting in this whole "magebane versus berzerker" argument is that only a 1400 trash mmr magebane is going to sit there while a berzerker with all of his buffs up is wailing on him. What do I do if I see a berzerker running at me with all his crap up? Blink away, then blink back in when it's down, optionally targeting another member of his team. He is COMPLETELY reliant on that ultimate being up to do damage, if it's not on he's worthless compared to other carries. A hero like dark lady can farm better, chase better, and deals more damage with more utility (her ultimate, silence).
Yes, berzerker can do obscene amounts of damage but little items, but he CAN NOT survive without items such as BKB, helm, and shamans headress in team fights because of his 20% increased damage taken, and the reason he is balanced is because he is HORRIBLE at farming.
1 important argument that no one stated before is the fact that a lot of nukes are disables at the same time
i.e. ws stun/gaunt ult/parasite ult/magmus stun/behe stun/tundra ult etc
Now we got berserker with ult turned on, and you got 2 options:
1. Waste all your nukes on him losing toooooooooooooones of the disable time because of 80% reduction time (efficient stacking of disables is not an option :<)
2. Use only burst nukes without any additional effects, and save disables for others
During option 1, you will basically lose all or almost all(couz of high hp pool) of your disables making your team vulnurable to the enemy team.
During option 2, you wont have enough burst to kill zerk so fast and your efforts will be ineffective.
In a pub game you wont give a **** bout wasting stuns/silences etc on zerk because its usually 1 man game <-- 1 good player trashing whole enemy team and 4 tards looking for a opportunity to KS
But in a higher mmr game or comp, there will be a lot of mind games coming into play. If you waste all the disables on 1 hero even if you kill him, than you will get trashed anyways by his team who doesnt need to worry bout getting CCed.
And again, barbed armor is a great item which makes the decision even harder. (im too lazy to check this spam thread and find post when somebody stated that if barbed armor is so good why not make on other heroes, so ill answear hear: because zerk doesnt need to build dmg, just hp/survivability, while most of carrys need to build a lot of dmg)

"What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist.
i think zerk is balanced. Ult gives him the right amount of squishiness needed to keep him in check. His farming ability is just medicore and without an escape mech he needs some seriously good abilities to compensate. I almost think he could get a buff on his strength sap to be an instant nuke to creeps instead of a ticking aoe dot.
But anyways..... zerk grows big, nuke zerk, zerk dies. Pretty simple. He stomps games where people don't know his ult is active, or where a great initation leads to zerk chasing and cleaning up kills.
He's the Ra version of AUTO's.
RA: Stack HP get big nukes + surviveability
Zerker: Stack HP get big autos/crits + surviveability.
Why almost every low mmr player post is always: this hero is bad because he cant nuke a creep wave in 1 blow. If you got any clue how to rice on a carry, getting 400+ gpm on zerk wont be a prob. Not ony that he haves aoe skill that lowers creeps to the point when he can 1-2 hit them, he can as well farm enemy heroes without any problem since lvl 6.
I bet that nuking down, without ability to effective disable, a hero who buys only hp items is very easy, especially in mid-late game when he gets shaman heardress and even on +% dmg received, he still gets less dmg than other carrys since they cant really afford "wasting" item slot on shaman.
Ricing and farming enemy heroes are two different things. He just can't rice as fast as carries that have +attack speed skills and build Runed Cleaver. He can rice the first 15-20 minutes just as quickly as other carries, but after that he trails behind them if he's just ricing.
He's in a weird spot--he can't initiate, can't solo hard carry, can't mid (I watched Testie lose mid to a 1700 Nomad with Berzerker ), and is only an okay ganker. His peak is in the mid-game, but he's outclassed by Nomad and Drunken Master who peak at the same time but have better survivability/utility and comparable damage output.
Well by saying ricing i dont mean afk 40 min in jungle, just using every freetime to clear creep wave/jungle.
+ Yes he cant farm as fast as runed axe heroes but
1. runed axe makes you usually worthless for next 10 minutes
2. its not a good late game item
3. even with the extra 50-150 gpm that you will get because of runed axe zerk will still beat you up with his 40% increased attack speed and inasne bonus dmg.
Something that almost no one noticed. His mark gives him 40% increased attack speed -> with steamboots or demonic (1 of them you will probably sooner or later get) you get around 200 attack speed which means that this 40% bonus gives you 80 attack speed for free. Thats almost as much as madman ultimate.
Anyway got enough of this hero, even when having 450 gpm on range carry while zerk got 200 gpm, he could usually solo me down unless i just run away or got team assistance

The 20 Best Feel-Good Photos in Sports
By (Featured Columnist) on May 2, 2013
110k reads
How would one describe happiness in sports?
In our opinion, it's when a fan or athlete has the biggest smile on his or her face, either celebrating something great that just happened or a moment that brings people together.
Be it a big play or the ultimate goal, a championship, these are the photos from which we can just feel the happiness pour out.
Ricky Rubio Catches the NBA Playoffs
Image via Twitter.com/RickyRubio9
This photo might not be happy in the traditional sense, but seeing Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio sitting on an airport baggage claim carousel has to put a smile on your face.
Rubio's rookie season may have ended abruptly when he tore his ACL in March 2012, and his young Minnesota team may have missed out on the postseason, but his love of the game has to be admired as he lounges here to keep up with the action with his knee brace on.
French Soccer Fans
Image via Michael Buholzer/Reuters
In a photo reminiscent of the movie The Notebook, these two show us why a French kiss is the best way to celebrate sometimes.
Following a "Les Bleus" group-stage victory over Ukraine in Euro 2012, these two found that smooching in the rain is a hell of a lot more fun than singing in it.
Carlos Gomez Pops It Off
Image via darkroom.baltimoresun.com
Nicknamed "Go-Go," Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Carlos Gomez went all "go-go gadget gum" when he blew this enormous bubble at a game last season.
Gomez might be 27 years old, but seeing how happy he is with his accomplishment here, we'd have guessed he was just a little leaguer.
Kayla Harrison
Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images
Anytime an athlete wins a gold medal, it's only natural to get a little choked up while busting out the biggest smile he or she has ever had.
But Kayla Harrison's was a bit more meaningful in this picture after she became the first American to capture an Olympic gold medal in judo during last year's Games.
Who would have thought someone with a black belt could have such a soft side?
Kevin Durant Tackles Fan
Image via 82andsunny.com
We saw this earlier in the season from fellow all-world player LeBron James too, and honestly, having a millionaire athlete tackle a regular Joe Schmo at a sporting event is one of the greatest sights we've ever seen.
These guys go out of their way sometimes to have bulky security guards and thick entourages, making them nearly impossible to get close to.
But when their joy comes out toward a fan for doing something like hitting a half-court shot to win $20,000, it's really cool.
D.J. Hayden Gets Drafted
Image via Cody Duty/AP
Many sports fans know the story of D.J. Hayden, the cornerback the Raiders selected in this year's first round of the NFL draft.
After nearly dying following a freak injury that occurred at a practice last year while playing for the University of Houston, Hayden had a slim chance of playing football again.
Not only did he defy odds by being drafted, but to be the 12th player overall is something that puts a lump in your throat.
Mohamed Farah Wins Gold
Michael Steele/Getty Images
In an absolutely shocking moment for Great Britain, runner Mohamed Farah, the 5,000- and 10,000-meter gold medalist in the 2012 Games, couldn't resist his excitement while ahead of the pack.
The organic celebration by Farrah as he crossed the finish line is one that puts winning an Olympic medal into perspective, especially if it happens on home land.
Johan Santana Is Whipped
Mike Stobe/Getty Images
There are various stories on when the tradition started, but as we've seen over the past couple years, throwing shaving cream in the face of a teammate after a great accomplishment has become quite popular.
That's why seeing Johan Santana—who makes over $20 million per year—get nailed by lesser-known teammate Justin Turner following Santana's no-hit bid last year was just remarkable.
It was the first no-no in the history of the Mets franchise, so they had a lot of celebrating to do.
David Beckham Ends His MLS Stint
Image via Jae C. Hong/AP
There was a lot of criticism of David Beckham when he signed a record deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer of 2007. People wondered if one of the most iconic athletes on the planet could transform the popularity of soccer in the United States.
Though his presence may not be measured, in his last appearance for the club, Beckham went out on top by celebrating with champagne and championship hardware.
As a fan, you couldn't help but smile for Becks.
Ma'ake Kemoeatu
Image via JD Mercer, USA Today Sports
If you asked most people for their opinions on a 6'5", 345-pound behemoth like Ma'ake Kemoeatu, they'd probably tell you he comes across as a tad intimidating.
As this picture proves, though, if you catch the Ravens defensive tackle at the right time, he's nothing more than a gentle giant.
It's a Can of (Pop)Corn for One Astros Fan
Image via deadspin.com
It's every kid's dream to catch a foul ball or home run at a baseball game.
Not only is it a souvenir to take home that the majority of fans don't get every game, but the story of how you do it is part of the joy.
Seeing this young Astros fan outsmart the guy in the orange shirt by using his popcorn bucket to snag the ball is pretty cool, and we can't help but flash a smile for the youngster.
Barry Zito's Kiss
Image via Robert Galbraith / Reuters
On a wet and soggy field in San Francisco last October, the Giants' Barry Zito took a moment from celebrating the National League title with his teammates to acknowledge his wife, Amber Seyer.
In a tumultuous stint with the Giants after signing a mega deal with the club prior to the 2007 season, criticism was harsh for the veteran lefty.
Helping pitch his team to a World Series title may not have erased all the doubters, but it had to give him some validity.
We Are All Boston Strong
Image via Jim Rogash/Getty
In the wake of the Boston Marathon attacks just a few weeks ago, the country has rallied around the city to show support and sympathy.
The situation itself may have been mind-numbing, with everyone still questioning the motive behind the bombings, but it showed that humanity is still strong and nothing can break Beantown.
Sports were just an outlet to express all of that.
Manchester City Wins the Premier League
Shaun Botterill/Getty Images
The disbelief on the face of Manchester City goalie Joe Hart after the squad wrapped up the club's first Premier League title since 1968 is priceless.
"The Blues" have always been measured against city rivals Manchester United, so capturing the EPL and having the key to the city for at least one year is something that's indescribable—unless you happened to see it live.
Colts Cheerleaders Are 'Chuckstrong'
Image via Darron Cummings/AP
After being diagnosed with leukemia last year, Indianapolis Colts first-year head coach Chuck Pagano felt support from the entire city and other players around the NFL.
In the ultimate sign of unity, several Colts cheerleaders shaved their hair off to prove just how much they respected Pagano, proving that they too were definitely "Chuckstrong."
Andy Murray Conquers Centre Court
Paul Gilham/Getty Images
Finally! The Brits could say they were on top at Wimbledon—sort of.
Just several weeks after falling to Roger Federer in the Grand Slam tournament, the U.K.'s favorite tennis son, Andy Murray, captured gold in front of his home supporters by avenging the defeat and beating Federer in the gold-medal match in last year's Olympics.
It may not be the prestigious Wimbledon trophy, but it is still quite the accomplishment for Murray.
Florida Gulf Coast University
Rob Carr/Getty Images
Becoming just the seventh No. 15 seed in NCAA tournament history to bust everyone's bracket and upset a No. 2 team in the opening round, Florida Gulf Coast was ecstatic after its win.
We all know parity happens each year in sports, but seeing a team that many hadn't even heard of make a run all the way to the Sweet 16 is one of the best moments in sports so far this year.
Donald Driver Gets Silly
Image via Mike Roemer/AP
Who says the NFL stands for the "No Fun League"?
After scoring a touchdown last season, since-retired Packers wideout Donald Driver not only did the traditional Lambeau Leap, but in an instance of pure youth and happiness, he made a goofy face to a fan while being housed by other Packer supporters.
LeBron James' First Title
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
It's no secret that LeBron James is the most analyzed and criticized athlete in the entire world.
Thanks to his unworldly talents, fans and journalists can get spoiled with the things he does on a nightly basis—and as a born-and-bred Clevelander, I admit to being one of them.
But seeing him jump up and down and dancing on the sideline once his Heat captured their first-ever NBA title last year was a sight that anyone who loves sports could smile at—regardless of personal opinion of the guy.
Fans could see the monkey falling off his back with each hop.
Kevin Ware's Louisville Teammates
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images
Who would have ever guessed that a moment of absolute despair would end up being so inspiring?
We all know the story of Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware, who, when attempting to challenge a shot against Duke, came down and had one of the most gruesome injuries ever witnessed in sports.
It wasn't only the reaction of his teammates that made this so heartfelt, but it was Ware motivating them while he was on the floor that brought tears of joy.

[UPDATE: This project is now being ported to a proper Google Code repository and manual. For instructions, start there. You can also join the ArduRover User Group here.]
Hello to ALL, the new firmware for APMRover v2 has been tested successfully on my rover on may 1st, 2012 on full autonomous reco mission following a navigation plan. This new release of the APMRover v2 works on the APM v1.4 with the OilPan shield (magnetometer + MT3329 GPS) and also of course on the APM v2. The previous version of the APMRover v1.0 was a light size version specially designed for the APM1280 CPU (only) board and the MT3329 GPS.
For the frame, I have used a Traxxas Monster Jam Grinder with a brushed and high power motor Titan 12T and its XL-5 ESC.
The APMrover UGV is able to run itself following a list of recorded waypoints. The waypoints list (FPL) can be preloaded with the APM Mission Planner OR better in live, recorded by the pilot himself (with the SW7) during a manual run and then replayed in a full autonomous mission.
The firmware APMrover2 for APM v1 + OilPan or APM v2 successfully tested can be downloaded HERE
The APMrover v2 is also online on the official ArduPilot-Mega GIT repository HERE
Below the PID setup for the APMrover v1 and v2:
The light firmware APMrover1 for APM v1 (CPU 1280 or 2560) that I have tested can be downloaded HERE
Here's how to connect your cables:
More infos at: http://diydrones.com/profile/JeanLouisNaudin
Have Fun and Enjoy with the APMrover...
Regards, Jean-Louis
With a wide open space, I don't see why not? Ardupilot can fly airplanes at 100mph, why not a car? Have to watch the vibrations though.
JLN - you do some amazing stuff! I am always astounded at your projects. I really like the rover, but it makes me wonder about the power of the apm not being fully used. How hard is it to get the code to run a 2 wheel balancing robot rover?
Hello John,
Initialy I have build the APMrover project so as it use a minimum of material (APM1280 cpu only + GPS MT3329). This is a low cost and fun design for exploring with UGV project for students, hobbists and science fair projects...
Some people have asked me to push forward the APMrover project for using the full APM v1 (IMU shield OilPan + GPS + magnetometer) and/or with the APM v2... This wasn't my initial purpose (low cost and fun) as explained above... So, I have pushed the APMrover firmware code so as to be compatible to a full IMU design with magnetometer. To answer to your question, YES, of course, the APM v2 or v1 (with OilPan IMU) is fully able to handle a 2 wheels balancing robot. As you may see in the DIYdrones web site, the APM v2 or v1 is able to stabilize very well multicopters, so for a simple two wheels balancing robot rover, this is not a real problem, here...
Regards, jean-Louis
there is no need to have full apmX support.
a gps is the only device needed.
if the rover is not stable, then mems devices will also be of no help :)
a balancing robot will be something different because of the requirements.
but the path following code must be better.
this would apply for types of vehicles.
Any idea how many waypoints could be stored on the apm 1.4? (most basic option to use.)
JL, is it possible to make a #define between the "lite" version of ArduRover and the full version? That would probably be a good way to go.
Some people might like the "lite" version, some might like the full version (me).
As for cost, I don't see how it's a huge problem. And APM1 is $70, plus GPS is $40? So $110 total. APM2 is $200. The difference between full and lite isn't that high.
For anybody looking to start from square one and build a rover, I might suggest this is a great chassis to use. Darn near unstoppable, and not very expensive. Also easy to convert to 4 wheel steering which would help.
Hi, what is the song on the video, it is in finnish language :)
This is great, I've been wondering what I could do with my APM (don't have and oilpan) and I've always wanted to do a rover... Very cool! Thanks!
Hello to all,
I have tested successfully my latest version of the APMrover v2.0b firmware with a full kit of ArduPilot Mega 2560 (v1.4) + IMU shield (Oipan) + GPS MT3329 + magnetmoter HMC5883L.
The previous ArduPilot Mega 1280 CPU board has been replaced by the APM2560. See some photos below:
The full code of the APMrover v2.0b firmware can be downloaded at:
and to my GIT repository at:
Enjoy with the APMrover ;-)
Regards, Jean-Louis
Hello Robert, I soon shall add the
#define LITE ENABLE
to the next release APMrover v2.0c so as the firwmare can be used with the CPU IMUless version (1280 or 2560).
Stay tuned,
Regards, Jean-Louis

By Emmett Berg
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A software developer pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a charge of vehicular manslaughter in the death of an elderly man he is accused of recklessly plowing into while bicycling downhill through a San Francisco intersection.
The case, a rare felony prosecution of a bicycle rider for a fatal accident, comes amid a 71 percent increase in bike traffic in San Francisco in the past five years. It also marks the third instance in which a pedestrian has been killed by a cyclist during the past year in the Bay Area.
Chris Bucchere, 36, is accused of speeding downhill through a red light and into an intersection crowded with pedestrians in the city's Castro District on March 29. He ended up striking Sutchi Hui, 71, who was crossing the street with his wife and died of his injuries four days later.
Evidence against Bucchere, who is free on $150,000 bond, includes several eyewitnesses and a surveillance video that have helped investigators put his estimated speed at up to 35 miles per hour.
A spokeswoman for District Attorney George Gascon's office, Stephanie Ong Stillman, said investigators had evidence Bucchere also ran a number of stop signs on his way downhill to the intersection where the crash occurred.
Authorities also suspect Bucchere was the author of an online blog post about the accident in which the cyclist recalled being "too committed" to stop at the traffic light before going through it.
"I laid it down and just plowed through the crowded crosswalk in the least-populated place I could find," the post said, going on to describe a "river of blood on the asphalt" in the aftermath of the collision.
The San Francisco Chronicle said Bucchere had been trying to set a speed record for a popular bike route through that neighborhood, and an electronic monitoring device on his bike provided investigators with some of their evidence against him.
In a written statement issued to reporters at the courthouse on Wednesday, Bucchere's lawyer, Julie Salamon, said her client "anticipates the day when he may express his deepest condolences to the Hui family for their tragic loss. But for now, while the case is ongoing, he will continue to cooperate with the authorities and to respond responsibly to the charges in court."
Bucchere, who left the courthouse without speaking to reporters following his 10-minute arraignment, is due back in court on July 27, when the judge will set a date for a preliminary hearing.
Stillman said Bucchere was the first bicyclist charged by Gascon with felony vehicular manslaughter, an offense for which prosecutors must show gross negligence and is punishable by up to six years in prison.
In March, cyclist Randolph Ang, 23, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter for running down a 67-year-old woman who died a month later. He was sentenced to three years' probation and 500 hours of community service.
In a more recent accident, a 92-year-old woman was struck and killed by a cyclist in a crosswalk near El Cerrito, east of San Francisco.

Enterprise Compatibility with Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows
The latest releases of [Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows]( http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/skype3beta.html) and [Skype 3.0 Beta for Windows – business version with MSI](http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/business.html) make Skype Enterprise Compatible and address one of the main concerns previously expressed by administrators of corporate and enterprise networks.
With this release of Skype, IT Administrators now have much greater control over the behaviour of Skype in a corporate network.
If you manage networks that support Skype users, read our updated [network administrator's guide]( http://www.skype.com/security/guide-for-network-admins-30beta.pdf) It contains configuration and operational information relevant to IT managers and network administrators.
]]>Setting up group policies
As of Release 3.0, Skype now supports the use of Group Policies, which provides system and network administrators with the most convenient and reliable way to support centralized management of policy settings for Skype clients across an enterprise.
Skype policy settings set the behavior of the Skype client for a given set of targeted users or computers. Skype has been policy-enabled meaning that the behavior of the Skype client is determined and changes based on registry values indicated in an [administrative template (.adm) file]( http://www.skype.com/security/Skype-v1.5.adm) . This way, you can manage Skype's features and settings through registry-based policy.

The link for the MSI version is wrong, should be http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/business.html instead of skype.skype.com/

Thanks Kinibaai – the link is now fixed!

I don't seem to be able to get the adm working. No options show up in the policy. I have read the part about changing the view->filter option but this still doesn't make any difference. Any ideas?

To get ADM template working you have to delete spaces before and after equal sign:
SkypeCat = "Skype" –> SkypeCat="Skype" and so on…
I hope it helps
antoine_sbh said 7 years ago
Thanks a million time m-i-k-e-e, what you said worked like a charm, I'm just extremely surprised such thing was needed in the first place. It's like if we were the first one to ever try this thing.
Haven't they actually tried their own adm file? -
argosy_jd said 7 years ago
I've just tried to open the Network Administrator's Guide but I get the message "file is damaged and cannot be repaired". Would appreciate this being fixed
richard-abraham said 7 years ago
The network administrator's guide, whilst fairly comprehensive, lacks detailed info on what each of the settings in the ADM achieve. Some are obvious but others not. Otherwise, very nice (from an enterprise point of view) to see an MSI and ADM available.
Would be nice if the ADM included a setting to stop Skype automatically starting. We've sorted this with a couple of registry changes but life could have been made easier:-)

Posted: Feb 11, 2013 10:11 AM by Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pentagon officials say the department is not extending some housing benefits to same-sex partners of service members because the issue requires more review and military leaders are worried that it might be unfair.
The Pentagon is detailing a number of other benefits that will be extended to same-sex partners including identification cards that will provide access to commissaries and other services. Pentagon officials say that while some housing payments and health care benefits can't be included because of federal law, some access to base housing is not specifically prohibited and could be offered in the future.
The military services have until Oct. 1 to put the changes into effect and provide 22 benefits to same-sex partners, but may aim to do it by Aug. 31.

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)-also referred to as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)-are those spread by sexual contact. They may also be spread from a pregnant woman to her fetus before or during delivery.
Exposure to an STI can occur anytime a person has sex or close contact that involves the genitals, the mouth, or the rectum with another person, but exposure is more likely if a person has many sex partners or does not use condoms. STIs can be prevented by not having sexual contact (abstinence).
STIs include:
Most STIs can be treated and cured, but some cannot. Some STIs, such as HIV and syphilis, can cause death.

I'm currently outside of the USA. I worked there before for about a year. I have got a SSN. I know that there are sites where you can start a LLC, which i'm planning to do. They also offer registered agent services which i'm also planning to use, and also federal tax id. Basically you can formally start your business online.(Correct me if i'm wrong)
So, After I get this set up. I can use the company to make money, correct? Such as start selling stuff online and etc.
Also, Can my company hire someone to work for the company(as per my directions) in the USA without myself physically being there in the US?
If company makes a profit, how would I get paid?
Also, what kind of problems would I encounter maintaining this business over the years? I'm talking about filing taxes and other regulations to continue the company.
Thank you.
Note: How would the taxation go? Say the company makes a 1000 dollars first year, since it's an llc i'd have to pay that in my income tax, correct? I'm still outside of the US?
