Comments about GYPSY JUNKIES TALULAH STRAPLESS MAXI DRESS:
This maxi is super cute. Love the colors for summer. The S/M fits me perfect because I am normally an XS or S but for a S/M it seems to run a little small. I would reccomend getting a bigger size if you are debating between sizes. I love the fit of it. Perfect with a pair of flats or strappy sandals. Very well made.

Basketball player misses four shots...in a row...at his own basket
You haven't really played basketball until you've accidentally taken a shot at your own hoop.
OK, maybe that's just us.
Anyway, a basketball player in Belgium whose name will remain anonymous (because can't find it and we figure he'd rather not have it shared), picked a good time to go cold from the field.

Build dynamic Web presentations without Flash
Monday, December 7, 2009 11:13:37 PM
Just a week ago Chris Mills said that he is "planning a series of articles to show that you can really do all Flash type stuff using open standards". He also asked thoughts on what to cover. And in a couple days I stumble upon Flash photo portfolio presentation in New Yorker magazine and decided to convert it to standards. It looked pretty doable with CSS and JavaScript to me, so I decided to go with CSS-only, because I'm interesting in trying out some upcoming CSS3 goodies.
If you don't want to go into implementation details, here is a demo (alternative link). Sorry for stupid My Opera nag screen, no harm will be provided to you or your computer. Also you will need Google Chrome 4 or Safari 4 or Firefox 4 or Opera with Presto 2.3+ engine.
So, I started with examining the Flash presentation sample. Thankfully it appears that creators separated data (XML and pictures) from presentation (Flash), so anyone can pretty easily create their own implementation.
To locally saved XML I applied small XSL, that generated HTML markup for presentation, and that was pretty straightforward.
Here is most interesting part of HTML structure:

Order by: Name Country Age Gender Tenure

...

...
 ...

Now it was CSS turn. In two words: using :target
pseudo-class I was able to switch sorting of photos, using CSS3 transitions I was able to show "visual sorting" and smooth fade-in-out effects. To show big pictures I decided to use :active
pseudo-class (user needs to hold mouse button on a thumbnail). From CSS3 I also used RGBA and box-shadow.
-webkit-transition-property: opacity; -webkit-transition-duration: .6s; -webkit-transition-delay: .6s; -moz-transition-property: opacity; -moz-transition-duration: .6s; -moz-transition-delay: .6s; -o-transition-property: opacity; -o-transition-duration: .6s; -o-transition-delay: .6s; transition-property: opacity; transition-duration: .6s; transition-delay: .6s;
Once CSS3 transitions module will become a recommendation, we will need to add properties without vendor prefixes.
That is pretty much it. This CSS-only demo doesn't cover all functionality of original presentation, but sure that is 100% doable if we add some JavaScript and any technology to play audio files.
I tested this demo in Google Chrome 4, Apple Safari 4, and Mozilla Firefox 3.7 builds. Firefox seems has some glitches with CSS transitions, but it is useful even in this state. I added -o- prefixes, so someone can test this on Opera Mobile 10 (Presto 2.3) or next Opera for desktop (Presto 2.4).
Any comments, suggestions and corrections are welcome.

Probe of Naperville man's death continues
BY BILL BIRD and SUSAN FRICK CARLMAN email@example.com email@example.com January 8, 2013 11:28PM
Updated: February 12, 2013 2:10PM
Authorities are continuing to investigate the apparent helium-related suicide of a Naperville man in his car outside a Bolingbrook supermarket.
An autopsy was performed Wednesday at the Will County coroner's office in Joliet in an effort to determine the cause of the death of Leonard A. Ostrowsky, 43.
Naperville police about 8:30 p.m. Tuesday sought the help of their counterparts in Bolingbrook in locating a suicidal man believed to be somewhere in that village. Naperville police Sgt. Lou Cammiso said a telephone call had come in a few minutes earlier from the man's girlfriend.
"He apparently left a note to his girlfriend and family that he was despondent over financial issues," Cammiso said. "We pinged his phone, and that's how we found his car."
Ostrowsky was found unresponsive inside his black, 2010 BMW. He had parked it in the lot of the Jewel-Osco store at 1200 W. Boughton Road, northeast of the intersection of Boughton and Weber roads near Naperville's far southeast side.
Bolingbrook firefighters were sent to the scene after police spotted an object inside the car that suggested some sort of hazardous material might be involved, Bolingbrook police Lt. Mike Rompa said.
"Officers cleared the area as a precautionary measure," Rompa said Wednesday in a release. "The item was later identified as a helium tank."
Police secured the parking lot and adjacent areas until about 11 p.m. Tuesday. Ostrowsky's body was removed by coroner's office employees.
Rompa added the preliminary police investigation indicated Ostrowsky's death "appeared to be a suicide."
Coroner Patrick K. O'Neil on Wednesday said while toxicological testing will be required before he can determine the manner of Ostrowsky's death, it appeared to have been the result of inhaling gas in the confined space of his car.

FORT DRUM (AP) -- People in parts of northern New York can expect the noise of military aircraft and explosions as Air National Guard units practice close air support bombing runs at the Army's Fort Drum.
New York military officials say F-16 jets from the guard in New Jersey and Vermont will be conducting exercises along with controllers from New York, New Jersey and other states from Tuesday through Friday.
They say Monday that much of the activity will be at night to simulate typical combat operations.

By Nancy McCleary Staff writer
Polls closed at 7:30 p.m. in North Carolina, a closely watched swing state in the presidential election.
This was a record year for early voting in the state and Cumberland County, reflecting how tight the race is for the White House. Reports from several of the county's 77 polling places today included long lines that started forming before voting started at 6:30 a.m.
According to the final poll averages from Real Clear Politics, Mitt Romney had a 3 point lead in North Carolina. President Obama faces an uphill battle to retain the state and its 15 Electoral College votes.
But it is close enough that the state is still considered a tossup according to many election prognosticators.
In the last election, Cumberland County helped carry Obama to victory, giving him a margin of about 22,000 votes over John McCain.
William Gillis, chairman of the county's Republican party, concedes that Obama likely will carry Cumberland, but hopes that the margin of victory is smaller this time.
"We'd love to carry the county, but realistically, with the numbers the way they are, our biggest goal is to shrink that number," Gillis said this morning.
"Considering the fact that there's twice as many registered Democrats than Republicans, the county probably will go to Obama."
Meanwhile, Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory had an 11 point poll lead on Oct. 31, according to Public Policy Polling.
If McCrory holds on as expected over Democrat Walter Dalton, 2012 could become the first election since 1988 when Republican candidates for president and governor carried the state in the same election. In that election 24 years ago, Jim Martin won his second term to the state's highest office and the elder George Bush won his only term.
North Carolina has had Democratic governors since. The state was consistently in the Republican camp for president every year from 1980 until giving Obama a narrow victory in 2008.
While a Romney win has been predicted by some political observers, that win will be overshadowed by what most believe will be an overwhelming victory for McCrory, said Brad Crone, a veteran Democratic consultant.
"Politics in the state are upside-down when the Republican nominee for governor outperforms the Republican candidate for president," Crone said.
Polling shows a tossup in another key race for Cumberland County voters. Longtime Democratic Rep. Mike McIntyre of the 7th House District is facing a strong challenge from Republican David Rouzer in a district redrawn to give the GOP candidate a better chance of winning.
There is little expectation of a major shift in the U.S. House, where Republicans have the majority, but North Carolina's delegation could become much more Republican if McIntyre loses and - as polling suggests - Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell drops his 8th House District race to Republican challenger Richard Hudson.
The cold, gray weather wasn't stopping Cumberland County residents from turning out to cast ballots for a slate of national, state and local candidates.
It also wasn't stopping campaign workers.
At lunchtime, the temperature was 44, but with the wind chill it felt like 36. Standing outside the polling place at Arran Lakes Baptist Church, Democratic campaign worker Brittney Hamilton said she was wearing four pairs of pants, three shirts, three jackets, two pairs of gloves and one pair of socks. Her face was half hidden between the knit cap on her head and the thick scarf around her throat. Hamilton, 22, said she'd been at her post since around 6 a.m. and would remain there until the polls close at 7:30 p.m.
Inside the polling place in the church's family life center, chief precinct judge Gwen Beasley said 340 people had voted as of 12:05 p.m.
"It's a good turnout to be that number at this time," she said.
At the polling place at John D. Fuller Recreation Center on Old Bunce Road, voting was brisk when the polls opened but had slowed by lunchtime.
"First thing, we had a line waiting," said Debra Hicks, a precinct worker. "From then on, they've been trickling in."
By 12:40 p.m., 201 votes had been cast. The chief precinct judge, Tasha Keels, said there had been no problems.
"There's nothing to complain about," Keels said.
Keels and Hicks said they expected turnout to pick up later in the afternoon as people got off of work.
As of 1:08 p.m., 378 people had cast their ballots at Ben Martin Elementary School on North Reilly Road, said Lonnie Evans, who is the location's chief precinct judge.
"There's been no problem. It has been smooth. It has been good," he said.
While there had been a steady string of voters throughout the morning, Evans said, the numbers had dropped off during lunch. But he expected to see more people coming out and voting after work.
Evans predicted it would probably remain slow until about 4 p.m.
Voters started turning out even before the polls opened. Sixteen people were waiting outside Max Abbott Middle School when the polls opened at 6:30 a.m.
One of them, Richard Davis, rode his bicycle to the polls.
"Normally, I would vote early," Davis said as he waited for the doors to unlock.
At VanStory Hills Elementary School, 90 people had voted by 7:19 a.m., according to a poll worker.
Kathy Murphy stopped to cast her ballot during her morning jog.
She stopped outside long enough to say there was about a 20 minute wait when she arrived shortly after the polls opened.
"I'll be back in 20 minutes - with three kids," she yelled as she jogged on toward her home.
Some people were confused as to where they should vote.
Vikki Andrews, chairwoman of the Cumberland County Democratic Party, said that since 6 a.m., about 300 voters had showed up at Cliffdale Recreation Center to vote. It was an early voting site but is not a voting site today. Andrews said she has been looking up peoples' registration and directing them to their correct polling place.
Anyone with questions about their polling site can call the Cumberland County Board of Elections at 678-7733.

Ok just as I expected, I got the 32 bit version. I installed on VMware to double check so now I am going to have to do this the hard way. I am going to install windows 7 X64 in VMware then within VMware I will run the upgrade advisor and redownload windows 8 from there LOL. SO MUCH WORK FOR AN OS! wished they would just give ISO links to both after paying.
I didn't download it but tbh what's the point of that offer anyway? Is there any real difference between people who bought W7 long time ago and those who bought it few months ago? Users with legit Microsoft Office 2010 can get 2013 for free and without limitations.
You can get the ISO =_= Have you been reading? In fact, you don't even have to download the ISO right away. You can use any ISO on the internet and use the key they give you to authenticate your copy.
I have been reading and I don't download random ISO off the internet. From MS or no one. Some seem to get the option. Some don't.
If someone had a tech net account that would allow us to download the ISO straight from the store that would be boss
If anyone needs to redownload the OS just use the link below along with the key they have given you http://web.esd.microsoft.com/W8DL/WSEC5B1D8A9DFDFD92DFB736C5B1D8956B5B1D8/Windows8-Setup.exe
I am on Windows8 now. Didn't use the offer, I bought multiple keys and just paid $39.99 CAD+tax each. Downloaded, it put ISO on my desktop to burn later, and then popped up burning dialog, which I used to burn the disc. Shut down machine, removed Win7 drives, added new SSDs, booted from disc I burned, realized I wrote key wrong, had to re-attach old drives and then get the right CD key, then things went fine. Typing from it now. It's gonna take me about a week to get set up. Seems significantly faster than Windows7, and I'm liking it!
NICE DAVE! I was having issue redownloading a second time on my x64 bit PC, I had to tether my phone to the PC to initiate the download then disable the wireless and reenable the ethernet port which is on my company internet for it to download but its about 18 minutes from being done. Hope its the X64 bit this time since I redownloaded in on a windows 7 x64 machine
i used the $15 deal, been on it for a few hours, took 10 min for me to work how to "shut down" besides that all is fine, just learning the tricks with metro.
I really need to get me a new SSD so I can justify doing a fresh install of win 8. What gives you more of a performance boost: SSD dedicated to windows, or a ssd dedicated to gaming?
I just found out my font managing software will not work with windows 8. So now I gotta find a font manager that will. Just great. :shadedshu
Damn that sux MM. Maybe they will get an update to fix it. I just got it redownloaded on the X64 machine and this time it was different cause it asked if I wanted to install to media/ISO so I am hoping this is the X64 bit edition. You may have to install Virtualbox and install a legal copy of Windows7/XP inside it to use apps that are not working in windows 8
Ok just found out that the ISO that it allows you to create CAN be used as a FULL install instead of just upgrade. YAY! installing it on VMware right now
What sucks is that Windows 8 still has the same tired old font folder with no built in managing software. OSX has had a manager for 10 years now. Come on MS! WTF!
Thanks... I'll give it a try. Thanks... I'll give it a try. Update: that won't work for me. It is for those who BUY OFFICE TODAY. I am an existing Office user. I have had Office 2010 forever...
I bought an purchased from a 32bit machine and my first download was in fact 32bit BUT I went back to my email and redownloaded the installer on my X64 bit machine and it THEN downloaded X64 ISO. So the windowssetup file I linked earlier detects your current OS to see what it should download.
I knew it! Really, I would have been surprised if this had changed. Though you haven't installed and activated this copy on any bare metal yet? Are you going to activate in VM?
I installed with the network adaptor disabled. My ISO on my second download is X64 so yea my theory of the installer detecting which OS you already have is correct.

There Won't be Two iPhones
There has been a lot of talk on "the blogs" that Apple will release two phones at their next event. The idea is that they will release a "mid tier" iPhone 4 GS alongside an iPhone 5. This will never happen because Apple is a competent tech company. It is a question of industrial organization.
Apple figured out long ago that diversifying the product lineup to cater to every edge case, every income bracket, and every preference is a waste of productive capacity and confusing to consumers. It complicates up production and fulfillment. Remember, Apple does not employ the fashionable and supposedly advanced policy of "just in time" production. Rather, they plan and allocate resources years in advance, leaving other firms overpaying for touchscreens and other critical components on the spot market.
Most importantly, the iPhone 4 is still bar-none the best phone on the market. Research in Motion is in its death throes, and Microsoft is releasing phones that lack total landscape/portrait orientation in 2011.
Android has a lot of market share, for now, but the fragmented nature of their phone lineup does not bode well. Apple doesn't NEED a mid tier phone between iPhone 4 and 5.

Barnstorming Redux
Vermont ultralight pilots are unregistered, unlicensed and flying high
Photo courtesy of Rhett Radford
Barnstorming first captured the consciousness of America in the wake of the First World War. Bands of itinerant pilots — many of them ex-Army flyers who managed to buy or otherwise hold on to their sputtering Curtis Jenny or Standard H-1 biplanes — buzzed rural areas and dropped pamphlets to attract locals to air shows, where the pilots made a living by stunning crowds with aerobatics, wing walking and other reckless feats. With no regulations to govern access to the skies, anyone with enough starch and stomach could take the stick and give it a go, with wildly varied results.
Such derring-do may have awed onlookers, but it struck the federal government (and probably the owners of freshly demolished barns and windmills) as an invitation to anarchy. In 1926, President Coolidge signed the Air Commerce Act, which, among other restrictions, made it impossible to fly planes without a license. The years since have added mightily to the pilot certification process, which today entails taking Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) courses, enduring an extensive medical certification, and completing at least 50 hours of flight training. That training runs at least $7500 and must be renewed annually, a process that involves further practical and medical tests. Even with a freshly minted license in hand, pilots still face the problem of finding something to fly. (A new Cessna 172 prop plane rings up at $250,000.)
Amid this welter of regulation and expense, however, there exists a class of motorized aircraft one can buy for less than a tenth of the Cessna's price and fly free of FAA regulation, without a license or medical tests. Its legal flight ceiling is an incredible 18,000 feet, and its structure, sale and maintenance are entirely at the discretion of its owner. Direct an eye to the sky during any decent day over Perkinsville (just north of Springfield), and you may see one or more of these modern-day barnstormers trimming the forest canopy or lazily circling cattle pastures.
An ultralight, according to an FAA classification ratified in 2004, is any single-seat plane weighing no more than 256 pounds (without pilot) and whose fuel tank holds no more than 5 gallons. In terms of performance, it may travel no faster than 65 mph and no less than 500 feet above any populated area. These rules have evolved in ever-tightening circles since ultralight flying began in the 1970s.
Bob Corbo, owner of Raven Soaring Trikes in Perkinsville, read these daunting regulations and found a challenge instead of a chokehold. For 10 years his company has been manufacturing a kind of ultralights called trikes, which are essentially hang gliders built on a three-wheeled undercarriage with an integrated seat and motor. The pilot steers by shifting his or her weight forward and back or side to side, which reorients the wing to make the craft descend, climb, or bank right or left. Customizable to fit riders weighing up to 300 pounds, Corbo's trikes use the natural lift characteristics and low weight of the V-shaped wing as the basis for a number of different models, and his company has the distinction of being the only manufacturer of such ultralights in the Northeast.
Corbo has been involved with ultralights for nearly 30 years, and he's watched as the state's community of small plane builders and flyers reacted to FAA regulations that kept reducing maximum weights, particularly after September 11, 2001. Some pilots continue to use overweight planes in secret, which makes their exact numbers difficult to determine, but Corbo estimates that Vermont's legal and renegade ultralight pilot population is low, hovering around 50.
"For many years, ultralight designers and plane owners went out of their way to make and fly planes that looked like a traditional design . . . rigid wings, fuselage, tail, etcetera," Corbo recalls. "Eventually the regulations just put that kind of manufacturing out of business, and I knew that if I wanted to keep building and flying, I had to invent something new."
Corbo concedes that a flying public accustomed to sleek aluminum fuselages and cruising speeds of 600 mph may greet the notion of taking wing on a stretch of nylon, fully exposed to the elements and at the mercy of a 30-horsepower motor, with a certain degree of anxiety.
"Well, first, the experience has nothing to do with point-A-to-point-B utility," he counters. "It's about living the dream you had — or continue to have — about flying. It's actually more floating than flying. We have some pilots who use them to go from airport to airport, sure, but for the most part it's just a way to get up there and enjoy the view."
Cary Levins, who lives in Sharon and has been flying a Canadian-built Elan trike there for two years, has a similar take on his experience in the air. "I just don't particularly care to fly either high or fast," he explains, "and to me this is the perfect way to take in things you could never see out of a plane window."
Steve Prepost, who grew up in Ascutney but now lives and works in New Hampshire as head hang-gliding instructor at the Morningside Flight Park in Charlestown, agrees that ultralights free pilots from governmental restriction while allowing them to enjoy flight outside the sterility of commercial airline travel.
"An ultralight design like the trike is really the best of both hang gliding and powered flight," he says. "You can use the motor to take off and get to a good altitude, then just turn it off and soar. These wings were designed to glide, so you can go from thermal to thermal and just keep going. Once you descend below about 2000 feet, you can turn on the motor again and go right back up. It's just an amazing sense of freedom."
It's hard to rhapsodize poetically about flight unless you're sure the plane carrying you is solid and safe. The FAA doesn't review ultralight manufacturers, making the choice of a builder critical, Corbo readily acknowledges.
"Well, a trike may look like a hang glider," he says, smiling. "But the similarities end there. Trikes are actually made of all aircraft hardware: Every nut, bolt and aluminum tube has been tested to aircraft specifications and beyond. For a small aircraft of this weight, safety is everything, of course."
All hang-glider-type wings — and so perforce all trike ultralights — feature dive-recovery characteristics. In essence, this means that if a pilot attempts too steep a dive or too drastic a turn, all he or she need do is let go of the central control bar, and the wing will stabilize itself automatically. Motor failure is also a much less grave occurrence in a trike than it would be in a larger airplane, because of the former's good glide characteristics and its ability to land on strips of uneven ground as short as 100 feet. Even in the event of a catastrophic failure such as wing damage, ultralight pilots can have additional insurance in the form of a ballistic parachute. Designed to deploy as low as 200 feet, the powered chute will generally slow the rate of descent enough to save the life of the pilot, and possibly the plane itself.
This isn't to suggest there are no ultralight accidents. As recently as June 28, a pilot named Jim Lanier was killed when his trike-type ultralight crashed near the White County Airport near Gainesville, Florida. Investigations of incidents such as these are not typically conducted by the FAA but by the National Transportation Safety Board, and no specific, comprehensive analysis of trike safety has been released by either organization.
Prepost admits that, however infrequent they may be, accidents are an accepted risk of a life spent in the air. "I'm not going to say that danger adds spice to the experience . . . it's just that it wouldn't be the same without it, if that makes sense," he says.
As with any vehicle, safety is as much a product of the operator's skill as it is of the trike's condition and functioning. Training is the most crucial stage of ultralight ownership, and Corbo won't sell any customer a trike without ensuring they've made plans to learn to fly properly. In addition to Morningside Flight Park, a flight center that offers tandem-seat trike training is Crow Island Aviators in Stow, Massachusetts, and in most cases, a full day of instruction is sufficient to get the basics in hand. Corbo recommends, however, a two-day program for a better understanding of wind and weather variations and how they affect flight.
"It also makes for a perfect weekend," he offers. "And every second invested is worth it."
As Prepost sees it, the payoff of all this planning is an experience like no other in the world. "Flying is empowering . . . magical, and we live in a spectacular area to look at from the sky," he says. "And foliage season . . . my God, you just want to stay up all day."
Corbo recalls a memorable wildlife encounter when listing his reasons for flying. "Birds don't seem to scatter from a trike the way they do from other aircraft, and one day a bald eagle just swooped down and took a good long look at me," he recalls. "We were just soaring together, and I knew that this was something I was going to try to describe adequately for the rest of my life — but never would."

Manatee County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested three suspects for stealing more than $1,200 in merchandise from Prime Outlets — Ellenton.
According to sheriff's office reports, Ebony Brice, 32, Trenicia Bridges, 29 and Shakeshia Ward, 31, were confronted by Vanity Fair management in reference to shoplifting from their store. The three fled with merchandise from Vanity Fair and Izod, totaling in excess of $1,200.
A sheriff's office deputy stopped the three in their car, but while being questioned, Brice shifted the car into drive and fled. The aviation unit picked up the vehicle and followed it to Tideview MHP. The three occupants fled from the vehicle on foot. Deputies captured all three suspects and they were arrested at that point for fleeing to elude and obstruction.
The vehicle was searched and several bags of stolen merchandise were found in the cab of the vehicle as well as in the trunk. The merchandise was photographed and later returned to the store. All three suspects were charged with grand theft. The three were transported to jail without incident.

Sevylor skeg
By Mountain Man Dan
from Mesa, AZ
About Me Beginner
Comments about Sevylor New Skeg Fits The Tahitis & Fiji:
I've only used the skeg once so far, but it definitely seems to improve directional stability; without it the kayak would fishtail incessantly.My only objection was the complete lack of installation instructions from Sevylor. I had to call the company and the support person emailed me good detailed photos. I had no idea what the purpose of the sharp projection on the skeg was. To install the projection into the fitting on the stern of the craft, the vinyl had to be scrunched quite a bit, but it does attach acceptably. Just remember, you may inlate the side chambers, but do not inflate the floor before attempting to install.

Makes an ok kayak much better.
By bwink
from middle GA
About Me Casual/ Recreational
This item should be included with the purchase of the Sevylor inflatable kayaks. It turns the kayak from a water toy for children to a real managlable Kayak that can take you places. Without the skeg, the you can not take the kayak seriously. Well worth the money.
An inexpensive necessity!
By Coffeemutt
from Somerset, KY
Based upon the low price and reviews I had read, I knew the skeg was a must-have. Installed easily, although I did have a bit of trouble keeping it straight (to be fair, I have only used the skeg once). This thing is tough; we scraped it across all kinds of rocks in a low creek bed and very few, small scratches (it appears to be made from glass-filled nylon or similar polymer). A plus - in low water it signals that it is time to get out and portage before scraping your kayak bottom.

Nov 27, 2013A slow moving story, underpowered weapons, terrible split screen co-op, and unbalanced combat seals the nail in the coffin for this poorly executed video game.
Nov 27, 2013Borderlands 2 is a shameless loot grind.
Sorry... let me rephrase that.
Borderlands 2 is an extremely fun shameless loot grind, with great humor, wonderful cooperative play, tons of exploration, and wall sphincters. -
Nov 24, 2013
Nov 8, 2013The game is improved greatly from its predecessor. The collecting loot is addicting and the multiplayer is very fun. This game is a must have for coop buddies or couples. 9/10
Nov 7, 2013Borderlands 2, how do I put it, it was okay. I never really got into playing it mainly because, I did not expect it to be cartoon based, the in game tutorials went on too long, I absolutely hated the Scags, and I did not find the multiplayer very enjoyable. I probably wont buy another game from the Borderlands series.

Tons of low-brow humor and fun to be had here. -
Aug 18, 2013I was skeptical at first,but when I got into it i was so Astonished.This game is one of the best Comic type games,i love the 4 Co play that's a rare feature in split screen not many games do that they require connection or going on line well i don't do that,i'm more of a single player.This is a good game to [buy]
Aug 17, 2013A game that plays on being a complete badass and the fun aspect of modern fps games. With an interesting world to explore, fun and addictive gameplay. With very memorable characters and over 1 bajillion guns and easter eggs to keep you on your feet as a vault hunter.

Jul 26, 2013I have played through this game about 1.5 times. It is an absolute masterpiece of gaming. Great characters, rewarding loot, and infinite weapon combos. Do not doubt buying this game. One of the best fps/RPGs of this generation.
Jul 15, 2013Borderlands 1 es el mejor en todo, ambientacion, musica, personajes, humor, hasta los DLC estan mas trabajados....en una sola palabra lo definiria como: Boredlands 2_saludos

Jul 9, 2013Great game. Very fun. Very funny and im glad i tried it. They made this game very well. I cant think of any problem other than the loot being the kind that only spawns once so whoever gets it gets it and no one else (for the guns anyway). Other than that its all good.

Jun 28, 2013Boring shooter, the only difference from this and an FPS is this map is way bigger and more repetitive. I played this with a friend and it was hard to get through it because it was so boring. The weapons are in no way "cool" or entertaining. The story is the enemies are absurd and the bosses are even more so. You could defiantly skip out on this one
Jun 19, 2013Truly great experience the characters were funny the story was great the game is addicting. I played through the story many times and it never gets old, and I will continue to play it through out the summer until GTA 5 comes out.

May 27, 2013This is a super fun and funny game to play by yourself or especially with your friends the endless loot and humour of this game will keep you comming back for more. It plays much like the first with a few tweaks and an actual story behind the mayhem, great game!
May 26, 2013
May 22, 2013Borderlands 2 is a huge success. I didn't play the first one but heard and saw enough of the second one for me to be interested. I have to say, I thought it was a great game. Of course no game is perfect and it has its blemishes, like this game. But overall you play a incredibly well produced balanced game with a huge amount of depth.
May 6, 2013
Apr 30, 2013I liked the first game, liked the art design, the humor and gun playing. this game improved from the first one, especially the story-line, which was a joke in the first game. it is also much fun to play co-op with a friend online. however, i just cannot put as much time as i did in the first game, too repetitive overall.

Apr 14, 2013
Apr 13, 2013Played the first Borderlands and found it somewhat enjoyable. Playing BL2 was more of a grind towards the end. The level tree was somewhat tedious, the weapons never really kept up with the levels that you made, and the skill points were pretty much useless. Just a drone of a game, no replay value whatsoever.
Mar 25, 2013Pretty much the same as the previous Borderlands, with almost nothing new. I just found it interesting when people like squeals to be the same while they expect something different and they'll say "this is not the same game!" or "why it's the same s*** again!" (commonly heard in COD reviews)
Mar 11, 2013One of the funnest games I've played in recent memory. The constant weapon/shield/class mod upgrades, BadAss points, skill tree and character outfit customization make this game very addicting. Online play is superb and very engaging. If you're looking for something to take over your life. This is the game. Highly recommend it.

Feb 6, 2013Hooked me in a way the first game never did, this game is fantastic by yourself and even more fun with friends. Plus it has the huge choice of weapons that all fans of the series are looking for. Here's to hoping that the rest of the series is more similar to this game than to the first.
Feb 5, 2013This game is so good awesome gameplay the co-op is so much fun and there is so much content me and my friend are trying to do everything we have like 75 hours and we still have like 70 missions left even the villain is good but the story is just ok but you dont play it for story but anyways get this game
Feb 4, 2013
Jan 26, 2013Although the game is better than the first one. I really couldn't get absorbed into the game-world enough to fully enjoy what it had to offer. This is why I will give the game a 7/10

I was skeptical starting this game, but now, i can't stop! it's rich storyline, nonsensical characters, intricate gameplay, and of course the millions of weapons available make this a gem to keep you enraptured for a long time.

Dec 20, 2012B2 feels more like a B1 expansion pack with re-skins, a few tweaks and some really annoying gameplay bugs. Games too long for a just a rental, and just not worth the full price.

Dec 18, 2012
Dec 10, 2012I've been really astounded by how much the devs of this title have been able to blend shooter elements and RPG elements, overall making it an RPG. The idea is stunning and the game turns out to be stunning as well.
Dec 9, 2012Just a few words, great enjoyment, gearbox really did do a good job on game play, but the story is sh*t. It has cool bosses, but they aren't exciting and the game is just not a big challenge, you just respawn where you die
Dec 5, 2012
Dec 4, 2012This game is absolutely amazing. It has a very nice graphics and a wonderful cell shading style to it.
I like how many guns there are in the game. One thing that is a bit annoying, is that there is no head shots, only critical hits. But you can get over that. I would recommend this game greatly for anyone who were a fan of the previous game . -
Dec 4, 2012I didn't play the first one but that's okay because this game rules. That's a well spent 65 bucks right here. Fun, funny, enjoyable, thrilling and awe-inspiring. Yeah, man
Dec 3, 2012A unique take on the FPS, it greatly improves upon it's predecessor with tons of gut/ns, glory, and EXPLOSIONS!
Tons of low-brow humor and fun to be had here. -
Dec 3, 2012This game is truly an upgrade from the first, which was still by far a a gem. Its fluid game play, "Biziliandy guns," and an incredibly memorable cast of characters and humor leaves just about nothing left to be desired. The DLC is also just as profound though quite shorter. If you love the loot mechanics and its FPS style and humor, don miss this game.

Nov 28, 2012Never played BL1 but I love the rpg fps loot whoring mess of a funny chaotic world that is BL2. I always need to get my fix in daily but do get tired of playing after an hour or two and because of that lack of full bore addiction I gave it a 9

Nov 23, 2012A step up from Borderlands 1. The humor was spot on and, overall, the game was great. On the negative side, they ruined the siren class with a nowhere-near-as-fun ability as Lilith had. Also, I found myself having dying a large amount of time due to fights being designed for 4 players.
Nov 21, 2012Here's how this goes: put game in, start game up, hilarity ensues. Great game, very entertaining,but eventually repetitive. I can only start up the campaign and listen to Handsome Jack so many times. Still a solid 9.

Nov 13, 2012I'm a big fan of Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2 is much of the same with a minor exception. i felt the main story was a bit lacking. But this game is still amazing and recommended to all.
Nov 13, 2012I can't stop playing this game. It is so much fun. I enjoyed Borderlands 1, but I got bored of it fairly quick. This is not the case with 2. Over 60 hours and I am still loving it. It follows the same formula as Borderlands 1 but it improves on pretty much everything. It might not be the perfect game, but I am giving it a perfect 10, as I have enjoyed evey minute.

Nov 9, 2012did not disappoint, great game. played several of the characters all the way to 50. wish there was more of the amazing orange guns but if you want a game you can pick up and get your moneys worth out of a game this is it.
Nov 9, 2012
Nov 7, 2012Only one of the masterpieces of this console generation! While other game developers fall all over themselves trying to ape Call of Duty, Gearbox has perfected the cooperative experience and makes teaming up with your friends to fight the machine an addictive and endlessly gratifying experience.
Nov 6, 2012Twice I tried to force myself to finish this game, and twice I have decided it is not worth my time. Sub-mediocre writing and story pasted on a 20 hour gear check with invisible walls and **** physics. Don't waste your time on this crap, its all hype.
Nov 5, 2012
Nov 4, 2012The game itself is so overrated, gameplay is repetitive, the feel of it is a huge letdown.
... Meh. Don't get it, it gets boring after an hour of playing. You really don't want to play it more than an hour or so. -

Oct 4, 2012
Nov 10, 2012It may be a lot more of the same, but it's prettier, smoother, longer, and filled with more stuff.
Nov 5, 2012In the end, I have to say that Borderlands 2 serves as a wonderful example of how to make a sequel work.
Oct 31, 2012In conclusion, Borderlands 2 is a significant improvement on the original; it sharpens up the narrative, the core game progression, the visual theme and many other fundamental aspects that needed adjustment.

Creating Your Own Room Transition With Gm7 Pro

Supposing that you're using the third example, every room should contain an instance of obj_controller. In the room editor, hold Ctrl and right-click the instance, choose "Creation Code", and you will see a piece of code that looks like following.how do I create a new room with this? cause every time i try it says the room doesn't exist...
// Set indices of room at four sides (see do_transition) tr_room[TR_LEFT] = room_east; tr_room[TR_RIGHT] = room_west; tr_room[TR_UP] = room_north; tr_room[TR_DOWN] = room_south;You're supposed to specify the next room at each side in this way. (Take a look into the script do_transition for further description.)
Posted 19 November 2010 - 09:40 AM
You don't need to set them, gamemaker inputs the surfaces of the old and new room in the transition script.where are the arguments set for the transitions (i.e., where are the transition scripts called from in the first place where you set the surfaces? I just don't understand how to tell it what the surfaces are that it's using for the transitions)?
All the arguments are actually predefined and thrown in by gm.

Hello you all. I'm kinda having trouble with this (I also recently started to use GM, so that makes sense I guess).

The obj_controller needs to be in the same room when the transition takes place. That's why it doesn't work. Have a look in Torigara's Room transition file.
Otherwise you can just change the 'next_room=obj_controller.tr_room[argument0]' -> 'next_room=your_room' and then that should work fine.
Question to Torigara and anyone who know how to deal with GM Surfaces...
There is an issue with the room transition script. I've implemented your script to make the room transition (specifically the push transitions) and they are great - except for one nagging big problem:
During the Transition - alpha around the trees removes the underlayer
and the buffered image from the previous frame seem to appear underneath.
Don't worry about it - I've figured it out already.
The solution is draw_clear_alpha(0,0), put it in before the transition part of the script.

I really, REALLY want to use your teleport transition, but i cannot rip it from your example!
Do you have an example with only THAT transition?
Posted 20 September 2012 - 07:34 PM
I don't know how to implement those transitions into my games. I look at Tori's GML in his "object control" and "obj button" and I don't even see where he calls for his transition scripts. There's something I'm not getting...
Could someone tell me what I am missing there or direct me to a TUTORIAL with step by step examples on how to create my own transitions? (fade in/out if possible). I don't want some "here's a gm example file and then figure it out" kind of "tutorial". I'm too dumb for that apparently.
oh well, looks like I created my own "fade in / fade out" transitions. They also work after loading a game so I am satisfied with it for now.

So far starters, a shameless plug!
That's a link to my "tutorial" on a Castlevania-style room transition (Classicvania, not crappy IGAvania). I just recently updated it. I wrote up that room transition (the original version is also in the demo and is hidden in the spoiler tag in the first post) based on torigara's tutorial here. Yes, it took a lot of trial and error to get down, but it can be done and my "tutorial" proves it! (Mine and some of the Metroid engines floating around out there.)
I wanted to add a couple things to tori's tutorial too. First off, you don't need to declare a variable during a transition: it will automatically be script-local. In other words, you don't need
var fraction;Torigara did that in his tutorial. Also, while it does help you read your script by assigning arguments to custom variables, it does waste cycles. So if you can read a script fine using just "argument0' or "argument1" or "argument2" instead of special variables like torigara does, then that would be best.
Also, even though room transitions literally freeze your game while processed, you can still do things "outside" the transition while it's running. Actions which affect objects, tiles or backgrounds will affect the objects, tiles, and backgrounds in the next room. This means you can set the player's coordinates in the next room during the room transition, for example (I do this in my "tutorial").
You can play sounds during a transition as well. If you've ever played Castlevania 3 on the NES, when a door opens it makes a slamming sound, then again when it shuts. That can be done with a custom transition in Game Maker!
If you really wanted, you could make a message box pop up during a transition. This is very, very, very, extremely useful when trying to debug your transitions.
To make scripting a timeline-style room transition easier on yourself, first multiply argument4 by transition_steps and save it in another variable like so:
argument15 = argument4 * transition_steps;You can then reference that variable. The reason for this is argument4 is a fraction. It's easier to work with integers than it is to work with fractions, I think.
This bump made possible by torigara, whose tutorial here helped me make my own complex transition.

Ok, so I am tired of being told that I must use flashing for my station for its' ground, so here is my situtation and see if you can tell me how to do this.
I have a ground bar at the desk, and I will be using copper braid for the connects to the bar using hose clamps (I want it to be flexible and not cut me or my cables up - largest run is 1'). First problem: From the bar to the service ground (outside, three feet away), can I run a heavy wire, or will I screw up my rf ground by doing that? I think the XYL would kill me if there was a sheet of copper running out a window, visible to all; a wire I can hide with the other wires poking out of the house.
From the service ground out two the two additional ground rods I have, I can run the flashing (3" wide enough?), but then, how to attach to the ground rods? Can I use jumper wires and split bolts?
How far down does the flashing need to be buried.... is 1/2" ok? The ground is super tough here lately, and I have a horse farm and loads of manure/compost, so I was thinking of just rebedding that area anyway and adding soil instead of digging...
Right now, I run a skywire loop fed with twinlead, but I am curious to see if an RF ground will help improve anything (I assume not at all, but still curious). Maybe one day I will put up an inverted L, so I figure try to run a ground now. The second rod is where the antenna feed line comes down (right in the middle of the layout), and I will get one of those sparkplug arrestors, just for shiggles. We do get lightning around here, and it has hit my pastures before. The third ground rod is where I figure I would put an L one day, and have left the rod above the surface a bit to attach radials if I want/need to.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Kris, KB4MB

Order Standard by 2 p.m. ET 12/19 for 12/24 delivery. Standard $25+ orders ship free
This moisturize is a serum or gel which threw me off a little bit. It doesn't fell too heavy or too light. I just wasn't expecting a gel.
I just received the full-size in the mail yesterday. I was surprised to see what a small bottle it is but I like the gel texture and so far it is working great.
i wasn't sure how i'd feel about a clear, gel-like moisturizer at first- but once i put it on, it felt like it just melted into my face. not sticky and didn't leave a film or residue. nice!
This is a good moisturizer for someone who doesn't have really dry skin or maybe as a light moisturizer for the summer time. It doesn't do a great job on dry skin or as a nighttime moisturizer.
I really love how nonoily this product is. Its pretty hydrating, but Ive used other moisturizers that have done the same job or have done better.
I have issues with heavy moisturizers or that contain oil. This is a fantastic gel that goes on very thin and absorbs into the skin and leaves you with perfect moisture and no greasy spots for hours.
I originally bought this on a whim and thought I would give it a try. I'm absolutely in love with it and I'm on my second bottle. It lasts for a long time and leaves your skin so soft and smooth. I was looking for a moisturizer that wouldn't leave my pore feeling heavy or clogged. This is a great product especially if you have sensitive and fair skin like mine.
I got a sample of this in the head of the class special edition box. I'm definitely not in the age group the Willa brand targets... but I've been using it for about a week, and I love what it's been doing for my skin. The moisturizer is a very thin, serum-like consistency, and it seems to prevent my skin from getting oily throughout the day. My skin is acne-prone, and I have some hyperpigmentation/scars on my cheeks from past acne horrors, and this moisturizer has diminished the pigmentation in those problem areas. Many moisturizers, even those targeted to oily skin, tend to clog my pores and give me blackheads, but this one hasn't. I would definitely recommend this product, and am definitely going to buy the full size.
I didn't like the way this smelled at all. It also left a weird film on my face. I've used better.
I am a college student, and my skin is somewhat acne prone especially during that time of the month, so this moisturizer is perfect for me. I like that it calms down the redness in my skin, goes on clear and not greasy whatsoever, and does not create shine after applying like other moisturizers. It smells great too! I sampled this from the Head of the Class box and loved it so much that I bought the full size. Definitely worth the reasonable price, will keep buying for sure!

With the end of a major restaurant remodeling program in sight, Bob Evans Farms has begun planning to build between 10 and 15 restaurants a year, starting next May.
The Columbus-based food company has been investing heavily in remodeling its 565 Bob Evans restaurants to emphasize bakery, carryout and catering business and has doubled its side-dish and sausage- manufacturing capability during tough economic times.
The investments, as well as the sale of its Mimi's Cafe business and some restructuring, caused a drop in net income in the just-ended third quarter — down 73 percent to $5.5 million, or 20 cents a share, from a year ago.
But that's OK with Steve Davis, Bob Evans chairman and CEO, who says the investments, and the efficiency and productivity gains made during a challenging economic period, have made his company stronger and better prepared to grow.
"Our core principles have not changed, but our approach to managing our food-manufacturing and restaurant businesses has evolved to position our company for growth even if the overall industry is not growing," Davis told securities analysts during a conference call yesterday.
Bob Evans executives also think their company's bakery, carryout and catering facilities, which are being added during the ongoing remodeling program, hold untold sales-growth potential.
"We're at about $500 in bakery sales a week per unit right now," said Paul DeSantis, Bob Evans chief financial officer, during the conference call. "And our expectation is to grow that to $2,500 a week. Of course, once we hit that, then we're up to $3,000 and beyond."
Davis already foresees an update of his company's "Farm Fresh Refresh" remodeling program, this time targeting coffee and other beverages.
Bob Evans serves drinks to
80 percent of its dine-in customers, yet it serves drinks to only
15 percent of its carryout customers, Davis said.
"So we've engaged in a partnership with our beverage supplier to really go after this," Davis said. Even if the effort raises the carryout beverage rate to 25 percent, it would be beneficial, " because drinks are the most-profitable things you sell in a restaurant," he said.
Bob Evans, which acquired side-dish maker Kettle Creations last year, also has its eye on acquisition opportunities to go along with its meat and refrigerated side-dish grocery-store lines, he said.
Despite the upbeat analysis from Bob Evans executives, KeyBanc Capital Markets analysts Christopher O'Cull and David Carlson maintained their "hold" rating on the company's shares, citing the company's 40-cent reduction in fiscal 2013 earnings guidance.
Other investors seemed to agree. Bob Evans shares fell nearly 4 percent to $40.54 yesterday on the New York Stock Exchange.

Newsroom/Press Releases/
The wage subsidy policy deadlock and South Africa�s youth unemployment crisis
25 August 2011
Note to editors: The following was released at a press conference held by DA National Spokesperson, Lindiwe Mazibuko MP and DA Shadow Minister of Trade and Industry, Tim Harris MP in Cape Town today.
Today, the Democratic Alliance (DA) launches http://www.youthwagesubsidynow.org/, a website developed to track the opportunity cost of not implementing the youth wage subsidy policy announced by President Jacob Zuma in his February 2010 State of the Nation Address.
Nobody disputes that South Africa has a crisis of youth unemployment. The rate of joblessness in our country is amongst the highest in the world, and 71% of the unemployed are under the age of 34.
We know that the Youth Wage Subsidy policy is not a silver bullet for youth unemployment. But it does represent the best way to start lowering the cost of employing young people without affecting conditions of employment or wage levels.
And no issue better illustrates the ideological deadlock in the ANC government than the delays around the implementation of this policy. It is clear now that, without Cosatu's buy-in, anyone in this government who comes up with a progressive and relatively uncontroversial policy to tackle unemployment will struggle to find the political backing to implement it. Instead, they have to navigate a storm of shifting factions, interest groups and ideologies in the Tripartiate Alliance that can obstruct policy implementation – perhaps permanently.
It is up to President Jacob Zuma to take the tough decisions in the interests of the unemployed and marginalised, but so far he has failed to cut through the widening ideological divide between those ministers aligned to Cosatu and the left, and those open to more pragmatic solutions to our severe and worsening economic problems.
The Youth Wage Subsidy policy was first floated in October 2009 in the Medium Term Budget Policy Statement and formally announced by the President on 11 Feburary 2010. The opposition parties, analysts across the spectrum, and South Africa's second biggest trade union – Fedusa – all supported National Treasury policy.
But loud opposition from Cosatu, on completely spurious grounds, delayed the discussion document by ten months. It now seems likely to delay implementation beyond the target date of 1 April 2012 – and perhaps forever – as they use their veto power at Nedlac, where the policy currently sits.
Treasury calculates that the subsidy would benefit 423 000 young job seekers over a three-year period, at a cost of R5bn. Numerous analysts have confirmed the viability and cost-effectiveness of this intervention, most recently the Centre for Development and Enterprise in a comprehensive report.
If Treasury had implemented the policy on 1 April 2010 instead of caving into pressure from Cosatu, it would today have already benefitted almost 200 000 young people and created more than 80 000 net new jobs.
Our campaign – calling on the government to implement the Youth Wage Subsidy Now – tracks the real cost of the delay in this policy and shows just how damaging further delays will be. We call on all South Africans to join the DA in asking the President to reject any further delays and start tackling the crisis of youth unemployment today.
