Great job Susan! I hope other groups will follow suit. A fund has been established for repair of all 3 monuments - see here. I'm waiting for word on the reward fund, and was told it should come shortly. |

$30,000 REWARD Monument vandalism prompts Friends to establish reward Gettysburg, PA (Feb. 22, 2005)—The Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg has established a $30,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent monument vandalism at Gettysburg National Military Park. The Friends' reward is being offered in addition to any money offered by Adams County Crime Stoppers. To establish the reward, the Friends teamed with the Gettysburg National Battlefield Museum Foundation, the Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides and the Gettysburg Civil War Round Table. "We are devastated by this vandalism, and we've heard from people all over the country who are eager to help find the people responsible," said Friends' Chair of the Board Barbara J. Finfrock. "The monuments were placed on these fields—as testaments to bravery and sacrifice—by the soldiers who fought here, and we are honored to stand with our partners to seek justice." Three monuments were severely vandalized last week: the 11th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry monument, the 114th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry monument and the 4th New York battery (Smith's battery) monument. Anyone with information should call Gettysburg National Military Park at 717-334-0909 or the Adams County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-869-8057. Callers may remain anonymous. It is the Friends' mission—on behalf of all generations of Americans—to honor, support, protect and enhance the resources associated with the Gettysburg National Military Park, the Battle of Gettysburg and the Eisenhower National Historic Site.

First of Three Vandalized Monuments to Be Reset at Gettysburg March 8, 2006--Gettysburg National Military Park's monument preservation staff will reset the life-size bronze sculpture of a Zouave infantryman onto the pedestal of the 114th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry Monument on Thursday, March 9 at approximately 2 p.m. The monument, dedicated on July 2, 1886, was damaged along with two other monuments on the Gettysburg battlefield during the night of February 15, 2006 or the early morning hours of February 16, 2006. The National Park Service is investigating the incidents and is looking for information that may help them find the individuals responsible. They have received no significant leads. The Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg and other organizations and individuals have posted a reward of $36,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the recent monument vandalism. Preservation specialists at Gettysburg spent a total of 130 hours working on the 114th Pa. monument, fabricating a new ramrod, which had been stolen, carefully removing gouges, and refurbishing the bronze figure. On the afternoon of March 9, a crane will hoist the figure onto its base at the Sherfy House along Emmitsburg Road. Repairs are underway on the cast iron fence that surrounds the monument. Vandals pulled the top stone and sculpture off of the 11th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Monument, dedicated on October 8, 1885. The 11th Massachusetts monument is located on Emmitsburg Road at the intersection of Sickles Avenue. Vandals also pulled the bronze sculpture of a Civil War Artilleryman from the monument to Smith's battery, also known as the 4 th New York battery, at Devil's Den. The monument was dedicated July 2, 1888. The bronze artilleryman from Smith's battery monument was dragged 162 feet and its head was severed and stolen from the scene, along with the ramrod. The National Park Service estimates the repair costs for the two severely damaged monuments and the historic fence at between $55,000 and $65,000. Anyone interested in making a donation for the repairs may send a check directly to : Gettysburg National Military Park, 97 Taneytown Road, Gettysburg PA 17325. Checks should be made out to "DOI-NPS" (stands for Dept. of Interior, National Park Service). Please note in the memo "for the three vandalized monuments." Anyone with any information that may help the investigation is asked to call the National Park Service at 717/ 334-0909. |

Vandalized monuments might take a year to repair The Evening Sun By MEG BERNHARDT Evening Sun Reporter National Park Service officials have located a copy of a sculpture that was among three Gettysburg monuments vandalized in February. They will use the sculpture to take rubber molds and recreate parts of it so the restoration is as close as possible to the original, said Gettysburg National Military Park spokeswoman Katie Lawhon. The sculpture of a Union artilleryman from the 4th New York (Smith's) Battery sat on Houck's Ridge, above Devil's Den. Earlier this year, vandals dragged it 162 feet across the road, removed the head and took it from the scene. The monument sustained the most damage of three vandalized that night. The damage of the three totaled $60,000 and it will take a year or more to restore all of them, Lawhon said Thursday. Recreating the details on the 19th century sculptures can be tricky. Luckily, Lawhon said, they've found the copy, made by the same sculptor out of the same mold as the original, in Manchester, N.H. She said sculptors often made several statues out of the same mold at one time. Park service historians have said that the monuments at Gettysburg are some of the finest examples of sculptures produced during the 19th century. Each is one of a kind, said Dru Anne Neil, communications director of the Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg. Park officials will travel to New Hampshire and create a rubber mold of the head and the ramrod for a cannon, which the soldier held in his hands. They will replace the damaged or missing parts. But they haven't been able to track down a copy of a stone arm of an 11th Massachusetts soldier on a monument damaged the same night. The monument was dedicated in 1885 and placed near Sickles Avenue. Lawhon said The Boston Herald published a piece asking for information on the arms, but so far, it hasn't yielded a three-dimensional model. She did say a quarry where the arm was created passed along some original sketches and drawings. A third monument of a Civil War Zouave infantryman was repaired and restored to his pedestal at his post along Emmitsburg Road in early March. It took about 20 minutes for a crane from Shenango Steel Co. of Gettysburg to hoist the repaired monument on its base in front of the Sherfy House. The life-size bronze sculpture depicts a 114th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry soldier and was originally dedicated on July 2, 1886. "This wanton vandalism has obviously struck a public nerve," said park superintendent John Latschar. "The outpouring of rage and disgust has been impressive, and the amount of unsolicited donations for the repair of the monument has been heartwarming." Contact Meg Bernhardt at email@example.com. REWARD OFFERED The Friends of the National Parks at Gettysburg, Adams County CrimeStoppers, Jennifer and David LeVan, the Gettysburg National Battlefield Museum Foundation, the Association of Licensed Battlefield Guides and the Gettysburg Civil War Roundtable established a $31,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the vandals who damaged three monuments in February. Anyone with any information on the crime or who wishes to donate money for repairs should contact the National Park Service at (717) 334-1124. |

I am amazed that there has not been one clue to who the people were that did this damage at Gettysburg. Nobody has reported anyone bragging , or having interesting pieces of statues in their home With all the reward money no one has turned anyone in. I was so hoping they would be caught right away. Lets hope one of them will trip themselves up and soon. |

Plot Summary:
Shrek is feeling over-domesticated in the fourth installment. He has lost his roar. It used to send villagers running away in terror. Now they run to him and ask him to sign their pitchforks and torches. To regain his ogre mojo, he strikes a deal with Rumpelstiltskin. The pact goes awry and Shrek must confront what life would be like in Far Far Away if he had never existed. That translates into Donkey being forced into cart-pulling duty, fat and lazy Puss in Boots trading his sword for a pink bow and the underhanded Rumpelstiltskin ruling the kingdom.

Lets hear it for 2011! Hooray, huzzah and all that goodness.
Talk about changes – 500 miles closer to the equator, warmer, under new employment, engaged to be married, 18 pounds lighter, so many new places to explore.
Many of my 2011 goals were met or exceeded – which has caused me to set even more ambitious goals for 2012. This may pose to be a problem, since I tend to be a "list-maker" and like to track data from all sorts of things. I'm stepping back to look at my goals for 2011 before I finalize the 2012 set and see how I did:
- Ride 1000 Miles and finish a Century: Last year I fell a few hundred miles short of my cycling goal and it really bummed me out, so I set out in 2011 determined to meet my goal, and to push myself more than ever before by finishing one century ride. Well I met my goal 1011.7 miles, and I completed not just one, but 2 centuries (100 Miles of Nowhere, and Seagull Century) Goals Met!
- Run 200 Miles and a Half Marathon: This was a huge accomplishment, seeing as I am not a runner. But Not only did I run 233.9 miles this year, I also completed the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half Marathon in June just under my goal – 2h29m9s. Goals Met
- Get Engaged: Maybe this is a resolution more than a goal? But on May 14th this year at Fort McHenry in Baltimore Kate and I got engaged. Resolution Met
- Lose Weight: I started 2011 about 10 pounds above where I was for most of 2010, so I knew that I wanted to shed that weight – and them some. I set an ambitious goal of losing just over 30 pounds. Well I didn't make it all the way there, but I did lose 18 pounds – and I feel so much better. Partially Met
- Healthier Living: This one was simple, eat healthy, with good portion control, more greens, and less junk food. This one was one goal I didn't work too hard for. Not Met
- Read More: Over the past few years I have taken to reading (only a tiny bit) so I wanted to push myself to keep pace with 2010 by reading at least three books. I may be missing something, but I know I got through at least 3, possibly 4 and have started two others. In 2011 I read Jonathan Franzen's "The Corrections", "Freedom" and Fat Cyclists "Comedian Mastermind". Goal Met
- Make New Friends in DC: This was a weird one because I am not sure how to qualify it. I met some great people in DC this year, and hope to meet even more in 2012. I still don't feel like I have a core group of friends like I did in Boston – but I'll have to work on that. Partially Met
- Work out at least 10 times per month: A simple fitness goal, and I am going to claim victory even though 119 "activities" is slightly under the 10 per month average. All told, the year ended with 119 work-outs, 1254 miles cycled, run or hiked, 124.6 hours of activity and 91646 calories burned. Goal Met
- Participate in a DC Randonneurs Event: Failed, no more to say. Not Met
- Drive Less: I used to drive somewhere near 25,000 miles a year – many of them driving to out-of-the-way destinations around New England for work. This year I wanted to cut that down to less than 17,000 miles. I am happy to say that I drove less than 14,000 miles – significantly cutting down on my emissions. Goal Met

Tales of the Drunken Paladin is a fun game. It has a really good story, funny characters, and the game is well-developed. So I vote for it.
Oh, I forgot about the Valedictory Game Drive. If any cool games came out of that it would make a great feature.
More people should be like Strangeluv and Solitayre and attempt to justify their nominations.
Griever plays Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer:
Serious conversations about sexual activity are something that a lot of people find difficult to sit through in the first place, but when the topic moves onto the more twisted ways of gaining arousal then people don't want to hear it. An example of such activity would be finding enjoyment in torturing and humiliating people, or "sadomasochism", something that is part of the fetish sub-culture that most of us are probably aware of; whether that is through leaked news stories about politicians and their mistresses or because we've all seen Pulp Fiction. On the face of it, finding enjoyment in these kinds of thing is relatively harmless when the subject is taking pleasure from and, most likely, paying for it. But what if the subject isn't willing? We can (hopefully) all agree that this is intrinsically wrong and, because of this, perhaps we should ask ourselves "why would anyone want to play a game that puts in the role of such a person?"
Putting aside the obvious, yet amazing retarded, "people who'd want to play this game are sick themselves" answer, I see two possibilities. Some people will play a game like this because they believe it is an interesting insight into the psyche that these people may have and they want to learn more; you would require talented writing to appease such players. Some people may put the more disturbing elements of such a game to one side and play it simply because they see it as a puzzle to be solved; you would require a good understanding of gameplay mechanics to appease these people.
Of course, some people are just going to hate the concept altogether, regardless or any "merits" it may have; but how can you possibly avoid this from happening when tackling such subject matter?
Anyway, enough psychological commentary and onto the content of the game.
Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer is a game that tackles its subject matter brilliantly. The personality of the playable character, Verge, is incredibly well developed and – somewhat scarily – very easy to sympathise with. This is because the reasons behind his obsession with dealing out pain, both physical and psychological, are well explored throughout the game; because, through a series of in-depth conversations with other "dungeoneer's", we learn why he finds it fascinating and; because we learn why he wants to become as good as he can at his "art", a storyline that focuses mainly around his primary love interest.
This storyline is, on the face of it, a relatively simple one: You are trying to make good videos so that Verge can get laid. If things were that simple, though, then this game would be so much worse from a writing perspective. The way the storyline develops over the course of the game is amazing and I actually didn't see the ending going the way it did. I had a completely different idea of what was going to happen that, although not as simple as the "Verge gets laid" premise, was pretty basic in comparison to what actually happens.
Another feature that leaped out at me from the writing in this game is that there are strong parallels to be drawn between Verge's initial frustration at the failure of his videos to gather fans and the frustration some of us, as developers, must feel when our games fail to attract the same kind of attention. This kind of frustration is something anyone who produces their own "art" is going to feel at one point or another but the realisation that Verge's motivations are very similar to our own is slightly worrying and extremely creepy; even when it is something that should be blatantly obvious. Perhaps it is just something that, as people, we are not be willing to face or accept and it is this that stops it being obvious? Here I go again with the psychological commentary, but it is something that is hard to escape when you are playing this game and it is probably another reason, aside from those that I mentioned earlier, that this game is going to be so polarising. Simply put, some people aren't going to want to accept that Verge's motivation is very human; they are going to want to assume he is a monster. They won't want to relate with him and this will prevent them from enjoying this game.
From a writing standpoint, I clearly don't have enough superlatives for this game. It is a game that drives home (what I think is) its central point with a massive measure of competence; that these dungeoneers are just as human as we are. Needless to say, I believe Calunio is an immensely talented writer, but what use is brilliant writing if the game can't back it up in other ways? If this game was somehow turned into a book or a movie then it would be a sick, twisted but, ultimately, brilliant piece. With games you have to offer something more; entertaining gameplay. How is it that a person can have fun when they are playing something that is so fundamentally disturbing?
When it comes down to the gameplay this game is a puzzle game, and the best way to make puzzle games fun is to keep their mechanics simple whilst ensuring the puzzles themselves are challenging; this is something this game does well. There are basically two different puzzle sequences contained in this game.
First off is the art of "seducing" your victims. This is a well thought out sequence that is based heavily on a "dating sim". The idea is to try and form a strong enough relationship with the victim that they will come home with you. Using the information Verge has gained by stalking his victims, you need to decipher how best to talk to them in order to build a relationship. If you manage to get the relationship bar high enough you get to take them to your dungeon whereas if you cause them to run out of patience you will have to try again. Two meters to worry about and a series of dialogue choices you need to pick your way through; simple, but challenging and, ultimately, quite fun.
The second system is the torture part of the game. This requires you to reduce your victims to the state where they are going to achieve a "beautiful escape" when they exit the dungeon. To do this, you need to force two status bars (will and health) to a low state (below 20%) without depleting either of them. If you deplete either of them then the victim will either die (health) or go into despair (will). Both of these are bad as they result in lesser reviews. If the victim escapes with either of these two bars above 20% then you are arrested and you get a game over.
Achieving a "beautiful escape" isn't the only thing you need to worry about as there are also a series of other statuses you can inflict on your victim before they leave the dungeon. You can give them hope and cause them to scream, both of which will impress your audience but are relatively easy to achieve, or you can also hit their "soft spot". This is the real trick as it is what turns your videos from average to amazing. It is also the part that cleverly links this system with the system used for seduction. Through your conversations with the various victims in this game you will learn what it is that makes them tick and you will learn, if you are observant, something that really frightens them. Invoking this in your dungeon is what is really going to get you points and finding the ideal combination of traps to do so is something that, I am going to have to admit, I found fun. To be honest, this goes right back to my central ethos concerning this game. That you're not going to like this game if you're unable to let go of your morality and play the game for what it is; a well-thought out puzzle game!
None of this is to say that the mechanics of this game are perfect. Far from it.
One annoying element becomes obvious when you're setting traps in the dungeon. The system is cumbersome because it forces you to pick up one tile at a time when it would be better to allow you to pick up multiple tiles at once or to allow you to place tiles using some other system. This is probably the most minor issue as the dungeon isn't that big and it doesn't take that long to set the traps up, but a slicker system would be appreciated none-the-less.
The mechanics of seducing your victims are also quite quirky; the "relationship meter" that displays how close you are to getting the victim to come with you works perfectly, but the "patience meter" that displays how likely you are to drive the person away isn't clear enough. At first, I thought I had until the patience meter reached zero to form a relationship with the victim but I quite quickly found that that different victims would leave at different points on that meter. Once you know how each victim works it is quite easy to tell when they are going to leave as the level of patience they leave at remains constant. However, you shouldn't have to fail each seduction once in order to learn how much patience a victim has; it should be obvious simply by glancing at the meters. This is another minor issue as, once you talk to each victim once, you know how their patience meter works. However, as with the map, a slicker system would be appreciated. Whether this system is making the patience bar go to zero every time or putting a marker on the meter that indicates that victims level of patience does not matter; it just needs to be more obvious!
The game tries to mask these errors with beautiful maps and eerie atmospherics that fit the subject matter perfectly. The choice of music is commendable, really setting the tone for what is going on, and the sound effects are appropriately screwed up. The mapping is terrific, even if several of the maps are stolen from Streets of Rage, simply because lighting is used to such good effect. The gauges that appear when seducing someone don't work in an intuitive way but they do look nice. The range of animation used when characters are being hurt or damaged is stunning (although I could've really done without the rape animation; that was a little much for me). I only have praise for this game from a purely artistic point of view.
In short, this is a game that tackles its subject matter incredibly well and has fun, formulaic gameplay, assuming you are able to handle it. The writing is especially awe inspiring and I can't say a bad word about it. A lot of the systems present are flawed but they are all easily fixable and are fairly forgiveable given that this game was made for a contest that stipulates a short development time.
Beautiful Escape: Dungeoneer is probably the most contentious game I have ever seen developed using RPGMaker and I don't think it will be surpassed any time soon.
An amazingly creepy and thought provoking game that is awe inspiringly well-written: 9/10.
i feel bad voting for my own thing(again), but i am going to vote for my own thing(again). it seems excuses to delay eyes without a face keep coming up and it shows up in the 'new featured game' suggestion list every month, so it'd be cool to either see it get featured or just decide not to feature it. it's been like 6 months since it came out, and it ain't getting any younger. i'm honestly cool either way, i'd just like to see yds get a little bit of recognition for all that ball-breaking hard work done in the middle of finals.
Pretty sure holbert already said there are plans for EWaF.

For the record, Eyes Without a Face was strongly considered, and it was delayed only to feature it during a month that strongly corresponds with its theme.
Just sayin'. However I am not opposed to featuring it earlier either.

Seriously though, BE:D has so much good press that claiming it isn't a good choice to represent the community is silly.
At least Eyes Without A Face is going to be featured at some point. That would've been my second suggestion, to be honest. It deserves to be featured if only to show people that RMVXP doesn't have to look ugly (not that that's the only reason it should be featured).
Dunno what else I would suggest. Nothing else springs to mind.
This is why we need to have three featured games per month, so these little quarrels don't happen time, after time, after time; and so games that truly deserve to be featured don't get pushed so many months to finally get their turn. Well, in theory, at least. ...RMN4, please hurry!! =<
Edit: @SorceressKyrsty: Maybe, but against the alternative, I'd be willing to take the risk.

If we were to do that though we'd quickly run out of games to show. Decent, worth featuring games don't get released that often, sadly :<

Atlantic City is filled with escorts on the weekend, we all know this. But did you know that Atlantic City escorts have to deal with some stiff competition. Examples:
Philadelphia escorts – These city girls know that while PA now has more gaming, that real escort action is in AC. These girls flock to Atlantic City every weekend, even more so on the holiday weekends.
Cherry Hill Escorts / Princeton Escorts – Right outside Philadelphia, these girls are money hungry as well. Given the closeness to Atlantic City, many of these girls drop in for the night then head back home (unless they secure an overnighter)
New York City escorts – now these girls are NOT the ones from the Bronx, these are the higher end escorts that make their way down to AC via the pit bosses and casino hosts. Yea, you heard me! The big fish aren't gonna deal with a $300/hr hooker, they want high end.
So why is it after all this, you still have a problem finding a quality escort in AC. Well, that's cause of the amount of low life STD ridden escorts available 24/7 in Atlantic City. To combat this, you really need to do your homework before meeting one. Conversely, you can go the mutually beneficial arrangement route with ArrangementFinders.com and avoid all this nonsense.

Other than that, I opted to suggest what I figured would be the best all-around build.
And I agree with Vincent on almost all he said. While that RAM may match it isn't low profile which may cause issues with the heatsink (I haven't looked at the frio much so I don't know whether it interferes with the RAM slots.) so you might consider looking for some low profile RAM that matches, or like the AMD low profile RAM I suggested which is black which goes with about everything.
Also that AMD RAM is manufactured by Patriot (which some is manufactured in USA) and goes through a second set of quality control via AMD.
Peripheral-wise that Corsair M90 is similar to the Razer Naga, however it has an aluminium construction so may last longer. The K90 is mechanical and has extra buttons you can program as well for more quick grabs. Then the joysticks were there in case you wanted to play with joysticks.
Then I do recommend Eyefinity if you do go with dual 7970s. It's a tossup with a single one. Though you may consider using reference cards as they will exhaust out the back of your case. Just a thought.

It's not that I hate Thermaltake power supplies, it's just that I trust Corsair power supplies more than Thermaltake. $104 for the TX750 compared to $200 for that 850 TT, yeah, I'll take the Corsair. To be honest, I'd take my current power supply (XFX PRO750W *** Edition Semi-Modular 80Plus Silver 750 Watt Power Supply ) which run around $138 over that TT. Even $65 more for the additional 100 watts isn't worth it IMHO, especailly considering all the builds suggested only need 750 watts, if that much. And if the computer did need 850 watts, there are ALOT of very good single rail power supplies in that range that are considerably less expensive then that TT.

However, I noticed you said something about possibly doing video editing?
If so, spring for the extra dross and go with the 2600K. You'll see better performance out of your editing app(s) with the i7.
As for why not the AMD?
8 cores and it gets beat by an i5.
Worse floating-point performance than an i5 and don't get started on i7.
125W chip.
Maybe AMD's next refresh of the platform will help repair things.
But it's really hard to recommend their platform to anyone who's looking to spend serious cash on a serious system right now.

Which means you save money in the long run, and as it stands Piledriver is expected to be a rather decent upgrade and be what Bulldozer was supposed to be.
Posted 18 March 2012 - 10:29 PM
I don't ever (EH-VUR!) recommend buying now in the hopes that something in the future will magically upgrade it and make it "finally better".
Not needing an upgrade path is the best upgrade path.
Build the best computer you can NOW if you have the budget for it.
Don't build half-*** and wait on the Next Best Thing.
Because you're ALWAYS going to be waiting.

With AMD you have the opportunity to upgrade your CPU at a later date, even if it is a few years between upgrades, and provided you don't buy form a crappy manufacturer. Asus and Gigabyte issue regular BIOS updates for their major boards, and MSI while nowhere near as good does it for a few of theirs.
On my last Midlife update I wouldn't have been able to do it with Intel due to the change every 2 generations of Intel sockets. Also on Piledriver, I'm "waiting" for it, I just built an FX-6100 rig. in use these are actually faster than the reviews would let you think, especially after the hotfixes are applied to Win7.

2006 - Kentsfield & Conroe LGA775
2007 - Conroe/Wolfdale - LGA 775
November 2008 - Nehlem - LGA 1156/1366
January 2010 - Westmere - LGA 1156/1366
January 2011 - Sandy Bridge - LGA 1155
May/June 2012 - Ivy Bridge - LGA1155 - Late to clear back stock.
March-June 2013 - Haswell - LGA 1150
????? - Broadwell - LGA 1150
Following the way they are working that means SKylake and Skymont will change socket again, and your Ivy Bridge purchase will mean buying a new Motherbaord as well as a CPU. Doesn't matter if you the manufacturer can make the board work, it'll still need to be swapped as it's mechanically incompatible.
AMD however I had a AMD 740 board in one of the server boxen I was playing with that took everything from AM2 to AM3.
Link :: http://uk.gigabyte.c...p.aspx?pid=3490
Not a great board, but useful as a home server, and shows the difference in approaches to compatability.
Almost all the AMD Athlone/Phenom/Phenom2 Range including processors from 2006 - 2011 are covered.
I considered Intel, rather seriously when I did the upgrade, but opted for the FX-6100 because it was Good Enough, and I would have an upgrade path in 18 months rather than buying a new rig again.

I am not an AMD 'fanboy'. But undoubtably you will have a much longer upgrade path concerning CPU with AM3+ than with 1155/2011, will you not? After Ivy Bridge you will need a new motherboard because of the new socket architecture. Of course, if you don't mind changing mobo every two years then no problem. I thought with a good mobo/socket you only need to get newer CPU's and GPU's over the years.

I look at it this way. If you buy with the intention of massive upgrading later, you're settling for a sub-par system now and probably not seeing the best performance out of the newer components later on.
More, like people who buy with the "intent" of going SLI "later on", few actually do. The majority of SLI systems are built as SLI from the get-go.
While a lot of hardware junkies are gamers, the reverse isn't necessarily true. So many of them are looking to get the best possible system NOW, and not have to fart with upgrading in a year and a half if the system they build remains acceptable (barring simpler things like video card upgrades and more memory) for a 2-3 year time-span.
As I said earlier, the best upgrade path is one where the system remains in the "acceptable" range so long that you don't NEED to upgrade it before it would make better economical sense to just replace it.
Even if the majority of users never EVER partake of this. And, as I said, it means settling for a sub-par system now and buying more equipment later on instead of being able to coast on what you've already got.
You're making the assumption I'm going off a bunch of "I'm going to throw a clean Windows insteall on it and run a bunch of synthetic benchmarks" reviews.
I work with this hardware on a daily basis and game across multiple systems.
While performance on the Sledghammer series isn't "bad", even patched to a fare-thee-well, it's still not on par with the older i5 and i7 on a clock-for clock basis and only still excels in integer crunching functions and VERY highly multithreaded apps. For gaming, it's still won't beat out marginally more expensive processors that have been on the market over a year.
I have exactly zero loyalty to any given brand. My loyalty resides in how much performance can they give me within my price range or if you're delivering features I want that others can't (as was the case in AMD's initial movement to 64-bit computing). Arguments of "good enough" and "you can spend MORE money and upgrade to something that MIGHT be better at some nebulous point int he future" fall on deaf ears.
I want maximum bang for my buck. And I want it NOW. Not "maybe...sometime down the road".

Just because a new socket is released does not mean what you have looses it's performance. I stayed with 775, completely skipped 1156 and 1366, and when I did upgrade, went to 1155. I'll be skipping 2011, 1150, and probably the socket after 1150.

The advantage to this is that, in line with AMD constantly being the more budget-constant choice, you can usually extend old systems with new generations of CPUs, and it does usually work out to your advantage. Socket 939 had Athlon 64 X2s, Socket AM2+ had Phenom II access, and while older AM3 boards didn't get the jump to Bulldozer, it was originally planned, and AM3+ boards have been available for awhile anyways, giving access to a system that might plausibly go all the way from a Phenom II To Steamroller (awesome?).
It's always nice having someone with a socket two generations back (AM2+), and being able to tell them they can upgrade to a Phenom II X4 940 and have a still-decent gaming machine.
However, if you have the money for an i5 or an i7 (assuming there's a reason to get the i7), there is absolutely no reason to buy an AMD system in hopes of Piledriver being awesome and/or Steamroller being AM3+ and being awesome. Piledriver isn't out right now, so there's little sense to, in essence, building a Piledriver PC right now.

From her post as crossing guard for Fremont Elementary School, Michele Reckel often waves to passing neighbors.
She doesn't know most of the people who pass her on the corner of Union Boulevard and Del Paz Drive. But Michele said she's naturally friendly and likes helping people.
"It's how I've always lived my life," she said. "It's what the Lord tells us to do."
You'd think they were best friends the way Michele sprang to action when she got word Scoti's son, Army Ranger Sgt. 1st Class Kristoffer Domeij, had died serving in Afghanistan on Oct. 22.
Michele learned of the death from Bonnie Stonerock, who lives across the street. Bonnie lets Michele park in her driveway each day for her crossing guard shifts. And she knew Michele was married to a soldier and might have ideas for how to help Scoti.
"Bonnie told me Scoti's roof is caving in and she wondered if there was any way we could get it repaired," Michele said. "I told her I'd see what I can do."
So Michelle turned to her husband, Warrant Officer Kelly Reckel of the Army Reserves, and they got busy.
"I knew there was no way the neighborhood could afford the roof," Michele said. "So I started contacting the media for help."
She also turned to her husband's unit and she wasn't disappointed by the response on either count.
Contractors, roofing companies and others responded to her TV pleas. Gary Faver of Faver Roofing came out on Thursday and put a new roof on the modest house where Scoti lives and cares for disabled adults. All the materials were bought by Empire Staple Co. and Jim Wydra.
On Saturday, Kelly Reckel and his unit built fence and did landscaping. New windows, gutters and more are on his list of repairs for the house if they can raise money for the materials.
Bonnie Stonerock said she and the others want Scoti to know that in her time of grief, neighbors care.
"We are devastated for Scoti's sake," Bonnie said. "She's such a giving person. She's always willing to help anyone in need. We want her to know she's not in this alone."
For Michele, it was natural to help even though Scoti was just a face she waved at each day.
"My husband and I have taught our six kids that this is how you live," Michele said. "We always help people in need."
That includes years of making burritos and handing them out to homeless vets on cold winter weekends.
It means shoveling snow for elderly strangers. Hauling their trash.
And it means rallying folks to replace a roof for a grieving mother.
"Because of this, Scoti and I have gotten really close," Michele said. "We cried together for half an hour. She's a beautiful woman."
I think Michele is pretty special, too. Next time you see her on her corner, helping kids cross Union safely, give her a wave.

Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
Me & My wife get registered with Quixtar two years ago we were given all the information at the first meeting and then we made decision to join. Its a awsome opportunity it has not given us enough income, we are working on it but it has changed our life for better comming from corporate and business background the teaching we get from this business is very valuable for us and for our family.... When we register prospect we show them a plan and the FTC approved numbers and tell them its not quick rich scheme it requires lot of effort and the rewards are great, as we were told, and no guaranties and if you decide to quit within six months you get your money back (as it happens with my IBO's so I know the company stands behind their word) We appreciate FTC work, but this proposal will create lot of set back to our business for example 1) The requirement of a seven-day waiting period: this requirement will hurt our business big time because if we sponsor a prospect they have to wait seven days and for another prospect seven days this way too much time is lost and I may even lost the prospect to other IBOs or he may decide not to start as he can think it can hurt the profitability of his business, in quixtar the money back guaranty is there so why seven days if a prospect wants to get out he can within those six months. so knowledge of requirement of a seven-day waiting period is no use to a new prospect. I hope and pray that FTC does not put this restriction on our business it will effect our income... 2 The requirement to provide references: when we register IBO's we all meet in conference and meeting and they interact with each other so they get lot of information from them and they see the IBO's from diverse background which is a good reference for them so to provide reference before registering is like violating privacy of other IBO's and some may even registered with them so we loose a prospect that mean we loose business for lifetime..once again I hope and pray that FTC should not put this restriction of providing Reference.... 3. The requirement to provide a "litigation list: this is such an awsome opportunity if litigation list is provided to new prospect he is going to run away, big corporation where we go everyday to buy daily product do they list all the litigation list on there counter or any visible area. then why we need to show, prospect does not need to see any litigation as he is not investing lot of money in this business he is starting with only $175.- which is refundable within six month if he chooses to quit. 4. The requirement for specific earnings disclosures: we do show prospect sa400 or the FTC approved figures... and that is good enough for the prospect 5 The requirement for financial substantiation: we do share with the prospect what difference quixtar business has made in our life but amount of money we make is really a personal matter and it should not be shared with others its very Inappropriate In the end, I appreciate FTC's work we need body like this which regulates all the business opportunity and monitors the fraud. Sir, to me this quixtar is a very good opportunity I understand that its upto me to become successful, they are providing us with all the tools needed to be successful. I will appreciate if you please consider and not enforce any of the above proposed rules which is going to slow down our business or will effect out profitability thank you sultan meghani

Hello all! I'm Chesh, a friendly, 21+ aged, female role-player/writer with quite a few years experience under mah belt, so I'm eager to find equally friendly partners to form some exciting plottage with. =D
Things worth key-notes I guess would be:
• You guys consider me "advanced/elite," I consider myself intermediate/advanced. You can decide for yourself, but fair warning: I do enjoy posts with substance. While length is never at the top of my list of concerns, when I give a good solid 5-8 paragraphs, I don't want to see three in return, know what I'm saying...?
• I love it when my partner's spelling and grammar is double-checked!
• No romance, adventure ONLY! I'm so tired of boring romance...gah...
• I prefer the medieval fantasy genre.
• I usually play inhuman character models (orcs, trolls, ogres, shape-shifters, dragons, wolf-weres, aliens, cyborgs, quadrupeds (Cheshire kitties xD), taurs, satyrs/fauns and pretty much anything anthropomorphic on top). So if that bothers you, gtfo.
• I have one million+10 plot ideas if you need one otherwise feel free to toss me yours! =3
• I role-play through PMs ONLY!
• I only role-pay with adults, sorry. I'm tired of immaturity. Be 18 or older, please. But 20 and older would be even better. X3 I prefer interacting with people that are at least semi-close to my age. lol
Here's a couple things I could have plots for in a heartbeat: -
- Royal/Guardian
- Kidnapper/Kidnapped
- Anthro/Human
- Dragon/Human
- Tribal/Tribal
- Tribal/Pioneer
- Quadruped/Human
- Mage/Protector
- Mage/Warrior
- Mage/Servant
- Adventurer/Injured Traveler
- Hermit/Injured Traveler
- Child/Guardian
- Pirate/Pirate
- Pirate/Stowaway
- Priest/Knight
- Priest/Adventurer
- Shape-shifter/Human
- Squire/Knight
- Warrior/Young Warrior
(And any combination thereof. lol)
My list of pet-peeves and "Don't even bother"s:
*Note: I never, ever expect romance to happen. If it happens, it happens; but I certainly never plan it ahead of time or expect it. Romance isn't planned, not IRL or out of it; life and love possess no script but instead are blank pages to be filled at our leisure. Enjoy what comes instead of seeking that which you may never find at all.
**Note II: I will NOT write smut. If you can't elegantly describe an adult situation using intelligent, non-vulgar language, then you're obviously not the sort of writer I'd enjoy interacting with and I will never, EVER write "furry porn." It just won't happen. Ever.
***Note III: If you require your writing partner be a certain sex (what everyone seems to call gender), then don't even contact me. I don't care if you're a male playing females or a female that plays males. Who gives a freaking sh*t? lol

Ever since the success of Nintendo and Rare's take on the James Bond film GoldenEye, the world's most famous secret agent has been cast in first-person shooter after first-person shooter. It seems as though Electronic Arts has been trying, with varying degrees of success, to recapture the magic of Rare's classic Nintendo 64 game. But for an agent as versatile as James Bond, casting him into a shooter has always felt a little limiting. There's certainly much, much more to the character than just running around with a gun. Electronic Arts has finally come to this conclusion, it seems. Its latest Bond game, Everything or Nothing, is a third-person action game that blends shooting, driving, and other types of action together in a seamless fashion, delivering an awesome experience that puts you in 007's shoes better than any game to come before it.
Everything or Nothing features a variety of exciting, well-done gameplay sequences.
Though Everything or Nothing isn't based directly on a James Bond movie, the way the story is presented makes it feel every bit as authentic as one of the films. For the first time, actor Pierce Brosnan lends his voice to a Bond game, which lends additional authenticity to Everything or Nothing. In addition, the cast of the game includes John Cleese, Dame Judi Dench, Richard Kiel, Willem Dafoe, Shannon Elizabeth, Heidi Klum, and singer Mya, who both performs the game's main theme and appears in the game as an NSA agent. While using Hollywood talent in games is nothing new, EA has actually based the looks of the characters on their real-life counterparts. So, for instance, Q has not only John Cleese's voice, but also his likeness. All of this combines to make the game feel like a very big production that exceeds what's been done in past Bond games.
The storyline also matches up with the Bond legacy quite well. Willem Dafoe plays the heavy in the story, an ex-KGB agent named Nikolai Diavolo. To tie him in to the Bond franchise, Diavolo is said to have worked with former Bond supervillain Max Zorin, whom fans of the films will remember as the bad guy played by Christopher Walken in A View to a Kill. Further tying the game to past Bond activities is the appearance of Jaws, the metal-mouthed tough guy from Bond's past. The plot of the game centers on nanobot technology--Diavolo wants to use microscopic machines for evil, and it's up to 007 to stop him. Along the way, you'll save the girl, give a massage, break the necks of some henchmen, and blow up as many things as you possibly can.
The majority of the action in Everything or Nothing consists of third-person action with a heavy emphasis on shooting and hiding behind cover. One button lets you lock your aim onto an enemy. From there, you can use the right analog stick to further refine your aim--which is largely important for lethal headshots. Enemies generally take cover once they've spotted you, but they'll occasionally pop their heads out for a look at the action. That, as you might imagine, is the perfect time to strike. From either a ducking position or from hiding around a corner, you can simply hit the fire button to have James pop out, fire off a shot or two, and then get right back into hiding. This mechanic, which shares a bit of the same tactical significance as the hide-and-shoot gameplay of Namco's kill.switch, is fun and works well.
Many of the actors you've seen on the silver screen reprise their roles here.
However, it tends to work a little too well at times, as Bond's aim is perfect. This means you can line up headshots like there's no tomorrow and simply dispatch 85 percent of your enemies with one shot, regardless of which weapon you're toting. The remaining 15 percent require some slightly closer action. In these cases, you can resort to fisticuffs, throws, or, if you're stealthy, sneaking up behind guards and breaking their necks. In the navigation department, 007 is armed with a rappelling device, and you'll be doing a lot of climbing on the sides of buildings. But on-foot action isn't all you'll be doing.
Everything or Nothing also contains a fairly robust driving engine, and you'll be in control of a few different vehicles over the course of the game. Most of the driving missions center on giving you a destination and leaving the route up to you. Most of the driving levels have a few different paths, and, more importantly, a lot of the driving feels very open-ended. Early on, you'll be on a motorcycle, trying to catch up with a train. Here you get a lot of different paths to choose from, but you're rarely left wondering if maybe another path would have been quicker or better. Some of your vehicles are armed in true James Bond fashion, so you'll be firing rockets from your Porsche or shooting flames out of the sides of your Q-Bike. It's all very cool and very well done.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. —
Half way around the world, nearly a lifetime ago, a young man from rural Indiana found himself as a prisoner of war.
At 19, Robert Gene Archer was still a teenager in late 1950 when he was reportedly captured near the Chosin Reservoir in communist North Korea. Cpl. Archer, a light truck driver and infantryman, would die as a captive of the North Korean forces in that distant place, far from his family, friends and home.
Now, thanks to DNA testing by the U.S. military using samples from Archer's surviving relatives, Cpl. Archer's remains have been identified and returned to his hometown of Brazil. They arrived at the French Funeral Home early Tuesday afternoon.
"It's really good that they brought him home," said Jim Archer, a nephew of Cpl. Archer. "We're just honored."
Jim Archer and his cousin, John Archer were too young to recall their uncle, who died serving in the Korean War, 1950-1953. But they said their older relatives never forgot "Uncle Robert."
"My mom and dad always talked about him," John Archer said, standing outside the French Funeral Home, where services for his uncle are scheduled for Saturday morning. Burial will follow the services with full military honors.
A large contingent, including veterans groups, escorted Archer's remains Tuesday from the Indianapolis International Airport to Clay County, where Robert Archer attended high school and worked at Mohr's Garage in Brazil before enlisting in the U.S. Army.
"We try to do this whenever we can," said Toni Brown, a member of the Greenwood American Legion Post, who was part of the large escort. "We still have a lot of [military men and women missing in action]," she said. "We need to get more of them home."
Archer is one of six U.S. veterans identified through DNA testing so far this year, according to the Defense Department. His remains were identified on Jan. 14.
There are approximately 88,000 military men and women missing in action from World War II through the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to U.S. government data.
Archer has been awarded the Combat Infantryman's Badge, the Prisoner of War Medal, the Korean Service Medal, the National Defense Service Medal, the Korean Presidential Unit Citation and the Republic of Korea War Service Medal.
For his family members still living in Clay County, having their uncle back home brings a long-overdue sense of closure and satisfaction. It also brings a sense of pride.
"You've got to admire the people that go in the service and fight for our country," said John Archer leaving the funeral home. "How can you not be proud?"
Details for this story were provided by Arthur Foulkes, a reporter for The Tribune Star in Terre Haute, Ind. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

How to Obtain an Internship
There are a variety of courses through which the student can participate in either independent research or an internship. For independent research, we have the following courses BIO 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95. BIO 93 – 95 are designated Honors Level courses that can be used to fulfill Honors College credits. Student normally take 2 semesters of research (maximum total of 6 semester hours.), thus register for 2 courses (ie. BIO 90 and 91; or BIO 93 and 94).
The department also has two internship courses (BIO 185, 186). Once again students are allowed to receive up to 6 semester hours credit for internships. If a student wishes to do an internship, faculty will help to identify internship opportunities. Alternatively, if the student has identified a potential internship opportunity, they can bring it to the Chair of Biology to discuss the possibility. Of prime importance to the department is whether the student will gain valuable skills and experiences that will contribute to the student's long term goals. For more information about getting an internship, contact department chairman Robert W. Seagull at (516) 463-5267.
