Kickstarter for Moebius - Point&click like Gabriel Knight, by the creator of GK
So I thought a new thread could be needed for this now, since the kickstarter project has changed a bit after backers got the chance to vote among three candidates.
Jane Jensens next adventure game will be Moebius, a true 2D point&cklick adventure in the same style as Gabriel Knight.
$16 and you get the game.
$30 - same as above + betatesting, music, monthly wallpaper.
$50 - same as above + further betatestning, weekly art updates, monthly video updates, pdf´s of design bibles, Gabriel Knight 1+2 novels as ebooks and possibly a second full game*.
And the game:
It's official! Pinkerton Road's first adventure game will be Moebius. Our early backers voted on 3 concepts and Moebius won by a strong margin. So what's it all about?
Story: Malachi Rector is an antiquities dealer who hunts down artifacts all over the world. After his upscale Manhattan store is destroyed in a fire, he's hired by billionaire Amble Dexter to investigate a series of events and document them in his meticulous way.
The first event is the death of a young woman in Venice. She was found hanging from a bridge. As Rector investigates her life, compiling facts for his dossier, he realizes that the beautiful and talented young woman -- and the interrupted path of her life -- had great hidden significance. It appears that Amble Dexter and his associates are playing with the fabric of life in a way Rector never imagined was possible. Even he, Rector himself, is part of a larger pattern. He must figure out who is doing what, and whether their intentions are for good or ill, before he can decide if he will play his pre-scripted role -- or try to change the outcome. This is a metaphysical thriller ala Dante's Equation and Gabriel Knight.
Art Style & Mechanic: 2D, graphic novel look and feel (like an updated GK1). It will be a 3rd person adventure game with a point-and-click mechanic and lots of sophisticated puzzles. It will have two modes: Casual Mode (with hints, a hotspot finder and a simplified interface) and True Adventure (more challenging -- like the Gabriel Knight games).
Size: Moebius will be about the size of GK1 – 50 rooms with 10-20 hours of gameplay (depending on your level and gameplay mode).
Moebius Concept Art:
* We originally said that if we raised $600K or more, we would be able to fund two games this year. It is looking more likely that we will raise between $300-500K on kickstarter so we are focusing on MOEBIUS.
However, there is a good chance that we will do another game with the studio this year – either if this campaign does better than expected or if we have a game funded by an outside source (a good possibility). If that happens, our FULL CSG MEMBERS ($50 and up) will get a second game this year. However, we have tried to make the goodie tiers a great value with just one game. Our full CSG members will also get (for sure) Lola and Lucy's Big Adventure, a kid's e-book Robert and Jane produced this past year, due out summer 2012.Last edited by Yachmenev; 18-04-2012 at 11:47 AM.

Press Release 13 November 2007
Rome 12 November 2007 - Alexander Medvedev, the deputy chairman of the management committee for Russia's Gazprom, told participants gathered at the World Energy Congress that Russian gas will be vital to help meet the future energy needs of Europe and Asia.
He said that during the last forty years, Russia has been a reliable supplier of gas to Europe - indeed Europe is Gazprom's biggest export market. And, looking to the future, Medvedev said that by 2015 Gazprom supplies will account for 33% of the European market.
"Our partnership with Europe is strong," he told the congress, adding that long-term contracts, struck with inter-government agreement, have been the key to the stable and reliable gas supply Europe has enjoyed for almost forty years.
Medvedev also stressed that Gazprom's sales to the Baltic and CIS regions grew by a third last year.
Taking the example of the Nord Stream pipeline that will, for the first time, directly connect Russia's gas transportation network with Europe's, Medvedev said: "This is an example of a real pan-European project in a turbulent environment."
Particularly, he added, as the EU's dependence on imports is growing as indigenous gas resources are depleted.
However, raising a controversial issue the Gazprom deputy said his company is "concerned" over European Commission proposals that would prevent gas pipelines within the EU being owned by the same companies which supply the gas.
Medvedev, who met with the EU Energy Commissioner Andris Piebalgs today for talks on the issue, said: "We are seeking clarification on this issue. At this stage I leave aside the question whether the forced disposal of assets which the Commission's proposals would require is compatible with the protection of private property in a market economy".
Outside Europe, Gazprom's development of new Liquified Natural Gas projects make it possible for the company to consider expanding supply to the Atlantic Basin and to North America, one of the world's largest markets.
"We are looking at the possibility of exchanging LNG for pipeline gas in the medium term, but in longer term we intend to export LNG from our own projects," Medvedev said.
These projects around the world show the extent to which Russia will play a central part in this growing industry.
Medvedev concluded by saying: "The prospects for the world gas market look good."

Savvis, a CenturyLink (CTL) subsidiary, recently announced that it had opened a data center in Frankfurt, Germany. This marks the expansion of CenturyLink into Germany through Savvis, which provides cloud infrastructure and IT solutions for various corporations. Savvis is currently operating over 50 data centers around the world, with more than 2 million square feet of floor space throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. By opening said data center in Germany, Savvis will offer its customers market access to a large number of telecom operators all around the world, as well as the trading systems of the local stock exchange. It opened its Germany headquarters in May to capitalize on growing opportunities to deliver managed hosting and cloud services to enterprises; the new data center opening seems to be a continuation of that initial expansion.
CenturyLink is a prime example of companies that grow through acquisitions and takeovers. Because it was not operationally as diversified as other telecommunications companies like Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T), it has expanded its presence through acquisitions. Moreover, CenturyLink has suffered as the market for traditional fixed line phones has declined, largely due to the rising mobile and smartphone market, as it doesn't offer wireless communication services to compete with its bigger rivals. In 2009, CTL completed the acquisition of Embarq Corp, which mainly provided landline telephone services along with high speed internet and satellite TV, while in 2011, the company finalized two transactions acquiring Qwest as well as Savvis. Despite the falling landline phone market, these acquisitions have helped CTL in improving its revenue at a staggering rate. In the financial year ended 2011, the company reported total revenue of approximately $14.5 billion, which is a 2007-2011 CAGR of 56%. Not only have these acquisitions helped the company boost its revenue over the years, they have also given it access to growth opportunities both locally and internationally; the recent entry into the European market through Savvis, a cloud infrastructure and IT solutions company, is a perfect example. Before acquiring Savvis, CTL was not involved in the cloud computing business, but now, as mentioned previously, it is operating around 50 data centers all around the world, catering to the needs of global enterprises, which is a potential growth opportunity.
Data centers have traditionally been used to house computer systems and other components. However, they have evolved over time to operate and manage a telecom operator's network and provide data center-based and hosted applications directly to the operator's customers. This bodes very well for companies like CTL, who have a stake in data center businesses, as many telecommunication companies around the world are outsourcing their IT functions to these data centers to cut their costs, as well as to compete with their rivals.
As mentioned previously, the company has had a staggering growth in revenues, largely due to its acquisitions, but that growth hasn't quite trickled down to its bottom line, which, even though in positive territory, is under pressure because of various acquisition-related costs. However, the company continues to do well in terms of post-acquisition integration. According to the latest filings, the company achieved synergies of over $350 million from its Qwest acquisition, and is on track to achieve its annual synergy targets.
The stock offers an attractive dividend yield of 7.1%, much higher than AT&T's 4.6% and Verizon's 4.5%. Moreover, the 7.1% dividend yield also compares well to its operating cash flow yield of 16%, indicating CTL's ability to finance dividends through its cash flows. CTL is trading at 16 times its forward earnings, which is at par with Verizon's forward earnings multiple. The stock is up almost 10% since the start of the year, and we believe it has a further upside potential based on the growth opportunities in cloud computing and network services.

Set in the geographical heart of the country, Tulsa has a sleek Art Deco skyline and a laidback Southwestern twang. This brawny Oklahoma oil town is a fascinating mix of world-class museums, old-time western swing music, and outdoor pleasures. Take a stroll on rolling parkland along the Arkansas River or kick up your feet at vintage dime-a-dance joints. Gaze at art masterpieces in the elegant mansion of an oil baron or eat corndogs at the Tulsa State Fair.
Things to Do
The arts are alive and kicking in Tulsa, home to not one but two first-rate art museums. The works of Wild West artists like Frederic Remington hang in the Gilcrease Museum. The European and American masterpieces in the Philbrook Museum of Art belonged to oil magnate Waite Phillips. Ride on a cushion of air in a weightless space unit in the Tulsa Air & Space Museum and see lions, cheetahs, and giraffes roam the African plains at the Tulsa Zoo.
Nightlife and entertainment
Music spills out of pubs and watering holes in the downtown Blue Dome District—so named for a 1920s gas station that long ago serviced traffic streaming down Route 66. In the Brady Arts District, dance to western swing music at Cain's Ballroom, where swing king Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys held court in the 1930s. Sample one of 350 beers at McNellie's Public House. Baseball fans flock to the Tulsa Drillers' gleaming $39-million minor-league ballpark, ONEOK Field.
Restaurants and dining
From Tex-Mex to slow-cooked barbecue to hand-cut steaks, Tulsa enjoys a hearty culinary scene. Locals head to the modest cinderblock El Rio Verde for authentic Mexican fajitas and "wet" burritos. Follow the hickory-smoked scent of long-simmered pork to Elmer's BBQ. Down-home grub like meatloaf and cabbage rolls is the specialty of Tally's Good Food Café, a vintage diner on Route 66.
Active Pursuits
Tulsa has nature built into its urban bones with 144 green parks and river trails meandering along the Arkansas River. At River Parks, you can bike, jog, or hoof it along 50 miles of trails hugging the banks of the river. The riverfront ecosystem is home to fox, beavers, herons, and songbirds—not to mention scores of manmade wildlife sculptures and lighted fountains. Go fishing for striped bass and catfish in the cool river waters at Zink Lake.
American Airlines makes it easy to discover the hidden treasures of Oklahoma with flights to Tulsa. From strolling through the Oklahoma Aquarium and the Tulsa Air and Space Museum to relaxing among 6,000 acres of parks, there are many fun things to do in Tulsa. Here's a guide to get you started planning a trip.
Despite not being a coastal location, one of our favorite activities in Tulsa is visiting the Oklahoma Aquarium. It houses the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation regional headquarters, educational labs, 200 exhibits and over a million gallons of water. You can see both saltwater and freshwater life, including the largest bull sharks in captivity -- which live in a space that features a cool tunnel you can walk through. You'll also get a glimpse of jellyfish, eels, stingrays, river otters, beavers and seahorses, to name just a few species.
Next, visit the Oxley Nature Center, another one of the best things to do in Tulsa if you want to get closer to wildlife. Over 800 acres, including a creek and flood-plain forest, are home to a diverse range of trees, more than 200 types of birds, more than 50 kinds of butterflies and turtles, deer, flying squirrels and more native creatures. It's especially gorgeous in the spring, when wildflowers are bountiful.
Another item on our list of must-do activities in Tulsa is a stop at the Tulsa Air and Space Museum and Planetarium. It features vintage and rare aircraft alongside kid-friendly exhibits that let the young (and the young at heart) enjoy a hands-on experience. There are exhibits dedicated to the Golden Age of flight, World War II and the exploration of space. But our very favorite thing to do is experience the F-16 wind tunnel.
Did you know the Arkansas River runs through the city? It offers many beautiful trails for exploring -- 50 miles of them, actually. They're perfect for spotting bald eagles, which like to hunt along the river. The trails also afford access to many of the city's parks. Spending a lazy afternoon in one of the city's 144 parks is one of the most relaxing things to do in Tulsa. Feel like being a bit more active? No problem. Head to La Fortune Park and play a round of golf. Or go to Chandler Park, where you can go rock climbing.
Why not fly to Tulsa and experience the city's many natural treasures firsthand? American Airlines has made it simple to visit and get in touch with Oklahoma's great outdoors. Browse our flights and start packing.

The wolverine that wasn't
June 16, 2011
"Why doesn't Michigan have a mascot?"
Hang out at University of Michigan football games, especially the first few of the year, and you're bound to hear the question asked a few times—usually by children or by adults who are new to Michigan football. U-M does have a mascot—the wolverine—but what people are wondering about is an animal, real or a costumed character, that gallivants along the sidelines during games leading cheers.
The typical answer is a terse grumble about "tradition" and how "Tom Harmon never needed a mascot" and that Michigan "doesn't need one now."
The lack of a live mascot makes the University of Michigan something of an anomaly among big-time college athletic departments. No matter the region, no matter how long the school's been around, no matter whether public or private, mascots are the rule. Michigan is one of few exceptions. For the 132 seasons Michigan football has been around, the idea of a mascot never captured the collective imagination of the Blue faithful.
That might change under Athletic Director Dave Brandon. Since taking the helm in January 2010, Brandon has prided himself on moving the Michigan tradition forward.
He brought Michigan hockey to the Big House, an extravaganza called "The Big Chill at the Big House." He has two new varsity sports, men's and women's lacrosse. He inked the first night game in Michigan Stadium history against Notre Dame, then doubled down by unveiling, earlier this month, the one-time-only "legacy" jerseys Michigan will wear when it plays "Under the Lights."
Introducing a live mascot to the U-M sideline would represent the boldest move of all. Indeed, for many fans, the tradition is not simply that Michigan doesn't have a mascot—it's that Michigan scorns mascots. But like most legends, the truth about Michigan and mascots is not so simple. It's not true, for instance, that U-M has never had a sideline mascot.
A little too vicious
Michigan's first attempt at a live mascot was carried off by no less a tradition-builder than Fielding Yost himself, longtime head football coach (1901-1923, 1925-1926) and athletic director (1921-1941), first at the Michigan Stadium Dedication Game against Ohio State (Oct. 22, 1927) and again when Michigan played Navy that season.
Yost was a visionary but he was also a competitor. He built Michigan Stadium so that, some day, it could be expanded to fit some 300,000 football fans. (Michigan Stadium is not even halfway there more than eight decades later.) And Yost's competitive nature drove him to pursue a live mascot for the Wolverines football team.
The rival Wisconsin Badgers had wowed fans by using a live badger to rally support back in 1923. Almost immediately Yost set about one-upping the team from Madison by bringing in a live, caged wolverine. Two of them, actually, Bennie and Biff.
"Today, for the first time in the annals of Michigan gridiron history, a Maize and Blue team will take the field of battle with two live Wolverines as mascots on the sidelines," the Michigan Daily declared the morning of Oct. 22, 1927, the day of the dedication game. The wolverines were a gift of two Detroit-based alums, Fred Lawton and Clark Hyatt, both of the Class of 1911.
"Up until today," the article continued, "Michigan teams have had a mascot, and that mascot was a wolverine, a mounted one that has graced the trophy case in the administration building at Ferry Field for some time."
The plan was for the wolverines to be walked around on leashes. And when Michigan faced Navy that November, the wolverines were going to meet Navy's mascot, a live goat, at midfield. But Biff and Bennie proved too vicious for any of that.
The live wolverines were a disaster. When Biff was first placed into his cage a week before the game, he snapped a bar in two with his teeth. Said Yost of the wolverine experiment, which ended after that first season: "It was obvious that the Michigan mascots had designs on the Michigan men toting them, and those designs were by no means friendly." After the season, Bennie was sent to the Detroit Zoo while Biff was placed in the now-defunct University of Michigan Zoo.
Whiskey and Brandy
Decades would pass before another mascot would capture fans' attention. "It all started during halftime of the 1968 Michigan-Michigan State game," former Ann Arbor News reporter Robin Wright wrote. "Attendants saw a little terrier in a maize and blue jacket push a green and white ball across the field. Fans cheered as the tiny pooch knocked the ball across the goal line, then pushed it the entire length of the field in the opposite direction to dodge officials, who were not as pleased with her performance. But in time the athletic administration, led by athletic director Don Canham, would get on board.
Whiskey was the dog's name, but fans didn't know that at first—didn't know whether the fox terrier would ever be seen again at Michigan Stadium. The dog had been trained not to bark, and fans could bring bags to games back then, so no one knew what Whiskey's owners, Dave and Trudy Rogers, were up to.
Fan demand grew to the point that administrators issued an announcement in the Michigan Daily asking that the dog's owners make the halftime show a regular arrangement.
"WANTED," the announcement read, "Overwhelming demand for continued halftime performances for 'Little Dog Blue' and his magic ball has necessitated a full scale search for the small but strong star. The hound's fans would appreciate it if the owner would call Tom Weir of the Athletic Department to arrange regular halftime performances by the dog."
For a time Whiskey and her daughter, Brandy, continued the shows, and when Whiskey got old, Brandy took over the performances solo. The dogs' halftime shows were discontinued in the mid 1970s.
Willy the Wolverine
Then in the late 1980s a group of University of Michigan students, Adam Blumenkranz, Eric Lefkofsky and David Kaufman, attempted to create a mascot on the university's behalf, a lovable creature known as Willy the Wolverine.
Willy was the result of six rounds of market research, Blumenkranz told the Michigan Daily at the time. What resulted was a friendly-looking mix of a bear and a wolf who wore a Block M sweater.
Administrators had little interest in a mascot, Fielding Yost's live-wolverine experiment be damned. Then-athletic director Jack Weidenbach refused to take meetings with pro-Willy students and told the Michigan Daily that U-M wasn't interested, period.
Undeterred, the entrepreneurs obtained trademarks for Willy the Wolverine and started selling paraphernalia with the mascot's likeness.
Expanding the Michigan tradition wasn't the students' only motivation: they were in it for the money, which is why they invested in the trademark and in market research. Their plan was to sell merchandise in the short-term, building a fanbase for Willy before selling him to the University to serve as the official, on-the-field mascot.
Willy didn't take long to rise to an impressive stature on campus. Blumenkranz and company arranged it so that Willy served as the grand marshal of the 1989 homecoming parade in Bo Schembechler's last as head coach. The 1990 Campus Directory was released under Willy's name, and the mascot posed on the front cover alongside the cheerleading squad.
"Don't be silly, work with Willy" read classified ads that appeared in the Michigan Daily, seeking student account executives.
Students were divided on Willy. Some embraced him and the idea of advancing the Michigan tradition. Others criticized Willy's creators, who were out-of-state students, for not really appreciating the Michigan tradition. The debate played out in the pages of the Michigan Daily.
Rich Eisen, then-sports editor for The Michigan Daily, now an analyst for the NFL Network, spoke against the mascot.
"What can be more annoying than watching some overgrown ball of fuzz named Willy run around Michigan Stadium, acting like a buffoon?...in Michigan Stadium, for crying out loud. Where Bo works. Just say no to Willy," Eisen opened a piece titled "No! Willy is a fuzzball goof."
Eisen wrote that he'd taken a persuasive speaking class the previous year. One speaker sought to turn the class on to the value of a mascot and even brought in Willy. But the columnist came away annoyed by Willy's "doofy grin" and his antics, which included sticking a girl in the class's head in his mouth. "Boy, I've never seen a mascot do that before," he sniped.
Daily sports writer Jamie Burgess spoke up in Willy's favor. She noted that some students had embraced the mascot.
"From the look of things, you and I want Willy. Many of us are jealous; after all, we should be. Wisconsin's got its buck-toothed badger, Iowa has its version of Big Bird, Ohio State rallies around a glossy brown nut, for crissake! All very different, but everybody loves them."
But the university didn't appreciate the students making money using Michigan's trademarks and purporting Willy as an affiliate.
The administration was content at first to ignore Willy, but he never went away. Not even after the mascot was banned from Michigan Stadium in fall 1989 because, at seven feet tall, it blocked students' view of the game.
Even when Willy made inroads there were setbacks. "Willy the Wolverine's Campus Directory" from Fall 1990 seemed to indicate a partnership with the university. (The U-M Housing Division distributed some 15,000 copies of the directory.)
Things seemed to unravel when Big M Enterprises pitched then-U-M director of public affairs for housing, Alan J. Levy, on a campus directory for Winter 1991. Big M sent its letter in an envelope bearing a U-M seal, seeming to imply a relationship with the university that didn't exist. Archival records show that Levy forwarded the letter to U-M's in-house counsel.
At a certain point administrators felt that allowing Willy's continued existence was a tacit acceptance of the mascot, and so the university decided to put Willy down for good by suing the students and their business, Big M Enterprises.
Willy breathed his last in June 1992 when the university forced Willy's creators to cease-and-desist marketing the mascot and using the university's trademarks to do so.
A lot has changed for Willy's founders. Co-creator Eric Lefkofsky and his friend Brad Keywell went on to found Groupon. Co-creator Adam Blumenkranz is a manager at a hedge fund. They've done well for themselves since leaving Ann Arbor.
Technically, then, it is not true to say that Michigan has never had a mascot. It owned a mascot—and not one it would have to return to the zoo—but chose to keep him stored in the bottom of a file cabinet. The Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) shows that there are no current trademarks on Willy the Wolverine. Utah Valley University uses a mascot named Willy the Wolverine but its exact origins have been lost to history.
The future?
Brandon, like Yost almost nine decades before him, is driven by the spirit of competition.
"I'm struck by the fact that when opposing teams come to our stadium, and they bring a mascot, all of our young fans are lined up to see if they can get a picture taken with it, whether it's the Penn State Nittany Lion or Sparty," Brandon told Michigan Today. "That's a little annoying to me.
"You can't get your picture taken with a Block M. Mascots are really embraced by the youth demographic and we want to take advantage of that, for all the reasons that are obvious."
Traditionalists like Rich Eisen are as insistent as ever that there is no place for anything but visiting mascots at Michigan Stadium. More than two decades after writing off Willy the Wolverine, Eisen stood by his original thoughts via Twitter. Said Eisen: "Michigan should always be a mascot-free zone."
Brandon is less worried about turning off traditionalists than he is interested in engaging young fans.
"Our history and our tradition is great for those of who were there to experience it, or remember it," Brandon said, "but there's a generation coming up and you've got to connect with them and keep them excited."
But Brandon is insistent that any mascot Michigan chooses needs to be the right one. To hear him tell it, the biggest barrier at this point is not the idea of a mascot but its design. One of the big gripes about Willy is that he looked too much like Bucky Badger, the Wisconsin mascot.
"We're interested in doing a mascot but it has to be something that fans love, that children love and everyone can embrace," Brandon explained. "So far we haven't figured out a way to do it. Until we come up with something we love, we don't have a mascot."
What about you? Do you remember Whiskey and Brandy or Willy the Wolverine? What do you think of the no-mascot tradition? Do you have a good story about mascots? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

2 Meetup Groups match "Mandarin Language" near Kailua, HI
There are no upcoming Meetups.
This is a call for those who are beginning Mandarin language speakers, like me, who need to practice speaking Mandarin with others. If you can say more than "Ni Hao" but are intimidated with speaking to a native Mandarin speaker on your own, come practice with us! If you are a native Mandarin speaker and would like to help us practice conversational Mandarin, knowing we are very novice, please join as well. Let's sharpen each other's Mandarin language skills for business, social, or interest in …
There are no upcoming Meetups.
This is a playgroup for toddlers who are interested in learning Mandarin as a second or primary language. The emphasis is on PLAY and the bonus is exposure to another language and learning from other children. I'm a bilingual mother raising a bilingual daughter and I would like my daughter to have more opportunities to speak Mandarin with other children while playing and having fun. You don't need to know any Mandarin to join the group. We also plan to incorporate learning Chinese nursery rhymes …
Get an alert email when new Meetup Groups like this start near you.
You'll get advice, help finding members, and tools to make running a Meetup Group easier.

Building on the foundation established in World of Warcraft and its first two expansions, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm adds a variety of new content and offer players the opportunity to rediscover Azeroth and experience the game from a whole new perspective.

In Cataclysm, players will witness the face of Azeroth being altered forever, as the corrupted Dragon Aspect Deathwing awakens from his subterranean slumber and erupts onto the surface, leaving ruin and destruction in his wake. As the Horde and Alliance race to the epicenter of the cataclysm, the kingdoms of Azeroth will witness seismic shifts in power, the kindling of a war of the elements, and the emergence of unlikely heroes who will rise up to protect their scarred and broken world from utter devastation.

- Flying Mounts in Azeroth: Explore Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms from a whole new perspective.
- Guild Advancement: Progress as a guild to earn guild levels and guild achievements.

An entire year's worth of personal, winning weight loss, and keep-it-off tips from Prevention readers
6. Be flexible. Kris Roberts's schedule didn't allow her to set up a rigid exercise routine. So Kris, 37, took a different approach. "I did whatever was most convenient. My only goal was to do something to raise my heart rate and work up a sweat every day—even if only for 5 minutes." Her flexibility kept Kris motivated to exercise and enjoy it. She's maintained her 50-pound weight loss for 10 years.
7. Don't blame it on age. Connie Bissonnette, 58, had given up, believing that weight gain was a normal part of aging. Her son proved her wrong. "He said, 'Just give me 10 minutes, three times a week,' " Connie recalls. "He devised a workout of exercises such as seated leg lifts and wall pushups that I did at home." Connie began enjoying the exercises and eventually worked her way up to a 30-minute routine. Pounds lost: 41.
8. Step away from the scale. By the time Kym Hubert's weight reached 245, the 41-year-old was checking her scale three times a day. Desperate to help, her husband smashed the scale. "It was depressing having my 'addiction' taken away," she says. But she started focusing on a new weight loss interest: walking. When Kym finally weighed herself a year later, she'd lost 80 pounds.
9. Personalize your plan. Dozens of weight loss plans had failed Lisa Douglass, 29, so she created her own. "I decided to be responsible for my choices," she says. Lisa scoured exercise and nutrition materials, chose the best advice, and developed her own program. She went from 280 pounds to 160 over a 2-year period. "Even though I still make bad choices occasionally, I like the fact that I'm making them," she says.
10. Build on success. More than 10 years ago, Marlene Dropp, 54, took her first walk around the block in an effort to lose some of her 200 pounds. She set a goal of 5 miles a day. When she achieved that landmark within 2 months, she came up with a new goal: to cover a mile in 13 minutes. She did that easily and lost 50 pounds in 2 years. Then Marlene began entering racewalking competitions--and had the thrill of completing a marathon for her 51st birthday.
11. Use a symbol. Dinah Burnette, 38, hung an expensive black dress on her closet door. At 245 pounds, she couldn't even pull it over her hips. "I tried it on every 4 weeks. When I eventually got in it, the buttons were 4 feet apart!" she laughs. One year later and 100 pounds lighter, she fit into the size 12 with room to spare. Ten years later, Dinah still keeps her size 24 dress in the closet as a reminder.

It's no accident that Frinks' success with the bat has come the subcontinent - IPL, that ODI tour of India, even recent test series in India was less dire than most of the rest. Likes flat wickets so can use his height to hit straight, doesn't like real pace and plays spin better than most NZers. Don't back him at home against any sort of pace and movement though.
Edit: and runs for Wellington scored in Wellington mostly pretty flat pitches too

Our open garden in honour of son Tim

His parents Bill and Jill will be opening their garden at Stone House on Saturday and Sunday, July 21-22, to raise money for the Fire Fighters Charity.
Mrs Cartlidge said, "Tim was a firefighter and loved the countryside, so opening our garden in support of the Fire Fighters Charity is a fitting tribute."
The garden opens from 2pm to 5.30pm. Admission is £3 adults, children free. The postcode is WR6 5RG.

Famous Landmarks In Shreveport – Our Top Five
From the Civil War, to the Louisiana Hayride, to the landing of Air Force One here in the hours after the 9-11 tragedy, Shreveport has seen it's share of historical events. And actually, it was a discussion of a notable Hayride moment involving a skinny kid from Tupelo, Mississippi, that brought about this post. If a stranger came to town, and wanted to know what there was to see in Shreveport, what would you tell him? Where would you send him/her to give them an idea of what Shreveport was about?

On XBox 360, I was able to get the code online. However, whenever I try to redeem it, it says "The code is not valid". Dos anyone know what is going on?
On XBox 360, I was able to get the code online. However, whenever I try to redeem it, it says "The code is not valid". Dos anyone know what is going on?
Your solution didn't work for me as described but it did clue me in the right direction. Eventually I wound up booting the Xbox with only one memory unit, empty except for my profile. Used the download history to redownload the Lego export license. Started LRB, bypassing the prompts for game saves. Select music store (forced to create a cache file) then selected Export license. It finally worked after nearly a month of headaches. I just wanted to play Vampire Weekend with my keytar. Finally that goal is within sight.
I'm still appalled at the difficulties I experienced. If Harmonix isn't going to correct these problems, I am at least glad they have a forum where knowledgeable customers can pick up the slack. Thanks for the help, hkevin.
I have been working with legorockband via email and they have been supportive, having said that, I did everything they told me in the email, got my token, and when I insert the Lego Rock Band game I get an error message saying: There is a problem with XBOX LIVE Marketplace, Please try again later.
Status Code 800700e8
So the issues are still not fixed and this has been going on for two months from what I can tell from all the previous posts. It amazes me some people had no problems. I am running the new XBOX 360 with the 250GB Hard Drive. I am not going to delete anything unless told to do so by legorockband. Just wanted you to know the issue is still there.
Hey guys and gals,
I bought lego rockband to export the songs to RB3 and i was getting an error code for trying to dl the export liscense and the code was 800700e8 and the following steps helped me and now i'm able to export it and then play it on RB3!!!!! Super excited and totally jamming out to some Ghostbusters are Word UP!
Originally Posted by Mfatman

I tried the steps people have put down and nothing seemed to work, called Xbox support and after being on the phone with them for more than an hour zip. Well here is what worked for me. YMMV
(Note: I have changed my Xbox more than once and still have same HD, this may have been what was causing the issue for me)
Also please be aware that this may not be the solution for everyone, but after many different tries this is what finally worked for me.
1. Get the code for Lego Rock Band and enter it in Redeem code and download license key (Lego Rock Band Export Pack) 108k
2. Go to Memory/HD/Games/Rock Band/ Rock Band Export License (Original Rock Band, NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE IT, BUT THIS SEEMED TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE FOR ME) Delete it.
3. Go to Memory/HD/Games/Rock Band/Lego Rock Band Export Pack and delete it.
4. Go to Memory/HD/System Files/Delete Xbox Marketplace Data and Rights DB.
5. Go back to Memory and right before you enter the Hard Drive hit Y and select Delete System Cache.
6. Back out and Power off your Xbox 360 and wait about 30 seconds to turn it back on.
7. Power Xbox 360 back on and make sure you are logged onto Xbox Live.
8. On the Tab where it shows your Avatar go to My Account/Purchase History.
9. Scroll Down until you find Rock Band Export License and redownload it.
10. NOW Launch Lego Rock Band Game (Free Play and make sure that I could see and play Rock Band 1 songs which might have reauthorized the console, I could)
11. Go out to the Dashboard and Redownload the Lego Rock Band Export Pack from Purchase History
12. Launch Lego Rock Band, got to the Store and go down to Export and you should now be able to Purchase the pack. (Make sure you have the 800 Points of course)
Seems Long and convoluted but I wasn't able to do anything since Tuesday and after many tries this is what worked for me, hope it helps you too.
Good Luck
Oh and if you have a key that doesn't work and is already used... might want to call harmonix/lego and see what you can do or just return it and find another copy! Have fun and good luck
whoa, this is still a problem? i bought lrb today, and it just says error on page everytime . . .
wouldnt let me get the token from my comp. but thru my iphone, no problem . . .
I typed in the code from the sheet in the box at rockband.com/lego-export/ and chose the xbox360 version and when the next page loaded up it stated YOUR EXPORT TOKEN (in block capitals) but there was no code to be seen. I've had LEGO Rock Band since launch (bought it brand new and sealed) and decided to finally export to RB3 but it is not seemingly possible as I then tried to type the code in again only to find that it had been redeemed (WHICH IT HASN'T). I need an xbox live download code but can't even get to that step.
Frustrated would be an understatement...
I bought a brand new copy of this game. The code is too long through the guide screen, and nothing happens at all on the website. Whats the big problem with this? Are we ever gonna get any help here? The whole reason I purchased this game was to export to Rock Band 3. What a waste of money...

Horry County police are warning that a scam targeting elderly people in our area about two years ago, is being used again.
The scammer will call an elderly person in the middle of the night and say "Grandma?" or "Grandpa?" depending on who answers. The scammer will pretend to be a grandchild of the elderly person and say that they are out of the country and have been arrested.
The scammer will ask that money be wired to them for an attorney who can get them out of the charges.
A second scammer then gets on the line, pretends to be the attorney, and gives the wire information.
In many cases, the elderly person wires the money before realizing it was not their grandchild who placed the call.
If you receive a phone call similar to this, you are encouraged to call your local law enforcement agency.

Karl Mayer's attendance at ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012 in April this year could be described as being 'a first' in many respects. This was the first trade fair the company had exhibited at this year, it was the first time in a while that it was showing a machine actually operating and the innovations on show were also being exhibited for the first time in Turkey.
These, Karl Mayer says, were three good reasons for Turkish customers to visit Karl Mayer on its spacious stand, which showed many interesting applications – especially as Turkey is making a comeback in the market for classic warp knitted fabrics.
The latest generation of the HKS 3-M formed the focus for Karl Mayer and its products. The flexible, high-speed tricot machine was introduced to the market at the turn of the millennium and was upgraded in 2007, which involved changing it over to using CFP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic) components.
According to Karl Mayer, integrating lightweight components, among other things, increased the speed by 25%, but the most recent modifications have increased the operating speed by another 15%. The HKS 3-M can now reach speeds of up to 2800 rpm at a working width of 210 inches – a production rate that the company says definitely secured the machine's place on the stand at ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012.
"For some time now, Turkey has again been emerging as an important market for Karl Mayer and demand there has been increasing surprisingly well," Karl Mayer said in a statement.
Important market
"Turkey was one of the five most important sales regions for our warp knitting machines in the last financial year," explained sales director, Oliver Mathews, in an interview with Engin Buz, editor of Tekstil Dunyasi magazine, during the exhibition.
Karl Mayer used to have a large customer base in Turkey, especially in the net curtain sector. After excellent results in 2006 and 2007, demand declined rapidly in the wake of the global economic crisis – a decline that lasted until around 2010.
"Now the Turkish market is back in business," declared Oliver Mathews optimistically.
Karl Mayer says it is difficult to predict what will happen for the whole of the 2012 financial year, but demand did increase during the first quarter. Sales are expected to rise over the next few months, in complete contrast to the general trend.
"Business in the Asian market declined this year compared to 2010 and 2011. On the other hand, the number of orders from Turkey and India has increased surprisingly," said Oliver Mathews.
The HKS 3-M has proved to be a particular best-seller. Manufacturers of embroidery grounds, net curtains and upholstery fabrics, as well as producers of stretch lingerie and semi-technical textiles, are said to be expressing great interest in the high-speed machine.
Bastian Frisch, Karl Mayer's sales director for warp knitting machines in Turkey and its agent, Erko Textil, had plenty of reason to look back on the exhibition with some satisfaction.
"This year's fair has been the best organised, has clearly expanded at a global level, and also recorded a large number of visitors," said the experienced sales manager.
Visitors not only came from Turkey, but also from Iran, Syria, Egypt and even Georgia.
"All our regular customers paid us a visit and we had conversations on some very specific issues. We spoke to people who were very knowledgeable and extremely innovative. Textile producers are no longer merely content to follow trends, they also want to develop their own products and introduce new innovations. Of course, their enquiries related mainly to the new HKS 3-M. The performance and quality of this machine, which is now even more productive, was received enthusiastically, and attracted the interest of potential new customers in the embroidery and weaving sectors," concluded Frisch.
"Consequently, ITM Texpo Eurasia was an important trade fair for us."
Increasing demand for technical textiles
Karl Mayer says, whereas the market for conventional textiles is clearly increasing in Turkey, demand for technical textiles is still fairly muted in general. Despite this, Hagen Lotzman, Karl Mayer's sales manager in the Technical Textiles Business Unit, detected a number of positive impulses at the ITM.
"The technical textiles business is increasing gradually," he said.
"We had a number of conversations with our existing customers as well as with new producers, who have been operating exclusively in the clothing and home textiles sector but who are considering reorganising their product lines in the medium to long term."
In addition to offering advice on specific issues, Lotzman was able to set in motion concrete projects in established business fields. These related in particular to the production of backing substrates for use as advertising media and tarpaulins.
