Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
An ancient Egyptian burial ground that is being highly sought after by archaeologists is said to make the treasure of Tutankhamun's tomb look like a 'display in Woolworths." British archaeologist, 72-year-old John Romer believes he has discovered the site where three ancient Egyptian priest kings - Herihor, Piankh and Menkheperre - were buried in Luxor, Egypt, almost 3,000 years ago.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Romer claims the burial ground will yield magnificent treasures that will far outshine those discovered in the nearby tomb of Tutankhamun in the Valley of the Kings.
Experts are now racing to secure the site called Wadi el-Gharbi, located in the cliffs on Luxor's west bank, before the arrival of treasure hunters and tomb-raiders.
It is better to light one tiny candle than to curse the darkness --
Among the many archaeological concerns are that the ancient rock inscriptions surrounding the site, which has remained largely untouched since 1085 B.C., could be damaged by this opportunists with their 21st Century equipment.
"Last week, three people were arrested by the army security services at Luxor for entering it," Romer told newspaper reporters.
The only person known to have excavated at the site stretches far back into the early days of the 20th century. Explorer Howard Carter first scratched a hole through the sealed doorway of Tutankhamun's burial chamber in 1922. Carter had previously cut trenches across the valley floor at the Wadi el-Gharbi site over the course of two weeks in 1916.
Carter discovered huge mounds of limestone chippings on the wadi floor, identical to those found in the royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. Carter abandoned his excavations, possibly because he had little idea of what may be buried at the site.
Romer has since focused on deciphering inscriptions left behind in the area by the royal workmen who labored there. Romer's Alex Peden found the name of Herihor among 150 rock inscriptions.
Romer believes Carter was mistaken to restrict his search to the valley floor. He says that the tomb is located higher up in the limestone cliffs which soar to around 1,000 feet.
Herihor Romer says, is most likely to be buried in a coffin of gold, like Tutankhamun [250 years before]. There are likely to be canopic chests, objects of alabaster, gold-plated statues, and thrones, though possibly not chariots."
Romer has been researching the potential tomb for 40 years. He still needs to secure a permit from Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities to carry out his search.
He now fears he may be beaten to finding the tomb after discovering a rival expedition has already arrived at the area.

Amazing Vacation!!!
Our vacation couldn't have been better by staying at Fiesta Americana Grand Guadalajara Country Club. This is a top of the line luxury hotel. Our room was spacious, comfortable, clean, well air conditioned and with a nice view of the city. The
staff is friendly and helpful. Everyday we received courtesy slippers, two chocolate pieces and 2 water bottles. The only draw back was the hotel does not offer free Wi-Fi and it's very costly if you get it with them. The good thing is that there is a Starbucks right next to the hotel which offers free Wi-Fi so we did not have to worry about this cost. The location of the hotel is great because at a walking distance you have the movie theaters, a very reasonable and high quality spa, and great restaurants. Hotel also features a full bar on the main floor and a spa and restaurant on the 2nd floor. I would highly recommend this hotel!!
Movie theater, spa, restaurants.
Wedding for friends
Extremely friendly and attentive staff. Beautiful and clean!
Would not recommend
Be careful you are clearly directed to the breakfast included in the room rate; our "free" breakfast cost us 650 pesos, which was quite a surprise and approximately 1/3 the cost of the room. Leave nothing of value outside the safe, even for a very
short period. It could be another costly mistake.

First of all, I think that it is a great idea to look into going to a teaching hospital or other source to find out why you are having these TIA's, as then you can create a proper plan to stop them from happening and reduce your risk of having a full blown stroke. Here are some prevention tips that you might find helpful, including treatment options that may be available to you as well as lifestyle and dietary changes you might consider making. Also, here are some organizations that may be able to provide you with more information and support.

I think this is a question best asked of your doctor. He will know which medications are and aren't safe for you to take with regards to your medical history.
Best wishes,

The only way to be sure if you had or are having a mini stroke is to be examined by a doctor. Unfortunately we cannot diagnose anyone here on the board. If what you think you are experiencing is a mini stroke, I strongly urge you to call and schedule an appointment with your doctor. While they don't cause permanent brain damage, mini strokes are important signs that you cannot ignore . Is there someone who can go with you to the doctor and would limit your chances of having a panic attack? Please let us know how you are doing.
Best wishes,

I did some research and this is what I found:
From this WebMD article : "A TIA happens when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked or reduced, often by a blood clot. After a short time, blood flows again and the symptoms go away. With a stroke, the blood flow stays blocked, and the brain has permanent damage."
Here is a paper from the AJMC in case you want to read further on the subject.
Hope this answers some of your questions.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"First, let me say that this card is beautiful! The paper and print (we ordered in Navy) are of great quality. I am most impressed with WPD on this product because of the immense amount of customization that was afforded to me. We used our wedding website to collect RSVPs (rather than returning a prepaid envelope), but we had a difficult time altering the RSVP cards to fit our needs (i.e. include an weblink and site password). We were able to completely customize this card, receive helpful feedback from the designer and end up with a unique RSVP card! Once again, I am impressed with WPD!"
"The beautiful design of the invitation is carried through the reception card. The card has plenty of space for titles and address. I also really liked the different fonts used."
"I loved the whole falling petal series from invitations, menus card, reception etc. It was exactly what I was looking for. The service they gave me was outstanding, email reminder, phone calls etc. My invites were extra long and my menu was a 5 course and they adjusted the layout for me. I want to order it all over again!!!! Thank you for making my wedding stationary look so pretty!!"
"I used this card for guest's room accommodations details. This card was a great addition to the wedding invite and I was impressed with the proofer recommendations to add Accommodations to the top corner as a header in a larger print and cursive writing similar to my and the groom's name on the invites"
"I loved everything about this invitation package that we purchased. It's elegant and classy and the thermography just adds to the whole presentation. Wedding Paper Divas really makes it easy...you just need to fill in your information and its all done. We are so excited about these inviations!!"

Chris Paul (knee) has not resumed practicing and will not play against the Celtics on Sunday. He's been out since January 22 and notion of the Clippers just playing it safe with their star point guard isn't quite as well supported as it once was. Eric Bledsoe will continue to start and should remain in all lineups. Unfortunately for Paul, his knee could keep him out of action for the upcoming week and there remains no timetable for his return. I sure do hope to see Paul back in time for All-Star weekend.

Health Benefits of Kombucha Tea
Kombucha Tea: Fact or Fiction
Kombucha tea is all the rage, but whether the health claims have been substantiated is a different story. I constantly get asked whether the kombucha (pronounced com-boo-cha) hype is real when I'm guzzling down my favorite flavor. Unfortunately, there haven't been enough studies on the ancient tea to leave us with a simple fact or fiction answer, but here's what we do know.
Kombucha tea is touted as a health drink that boosts the body's ability to fight disease while also bringing balance back. Often referred to as a mushroom, kombucha is actually a symbiosis of bacteria and yeast. After sugar and tea are added to the kombucha starter, a fermentation process results in an effervescent tea. In addition to the new fizz, the final product contains vinegar, B vitamins, and a number of other chemical compounds. I'll be honest; the flavor of kombucha is definitely an acquired taste. Some folks think it's plain awful, but many people claim the drink gives them a calm energy and a helping hand, cleansing their bodies of toxins.
Although it has been consumed by the Chinese since 221 B.C., there hasn't been a single human trial on the benefits of kombucha. Many experts, including Dr. Weil, have expressed concern about kombucha. In addition to the unsubstantiated health claims, some worry about the possibility of contamination in home-brewed kombucha — some batches can grow aspergillus, a toxin-producing fungus, which has been shown to cause adverse reactions in individuals with weakened immune systems. While this doesn't necessarily mean there are no benefits to the tea, it does leave me with the feeling that we should take the advertised health benefits of kombucha with a grain of salt.
Do you enjoy this tea regularly? Be sure to get a glimpse at how kombucha is created, and tell me whether you love it or loathe it in the comments below!

Great read! I'm also loving the game and I play mostly on classic mode. I'm gonna beat it with all the characters!
I love the difficult scale on classic mode and I still couldn't beat the game on Nothing Harder as the final boss is really hard.
I played a few matches online - For Glory With Anyone - and most of them were great! I didn't have lag playing 1x1 matches but Smash is other story, even though I had a few good matches with that.
I'm gravitating towards Lucina, Sheik and C. Falcon as my main characters but I wanna try everyone.
This game is great!
I pre-ordered the special edtion when it was announced. I can't wait for it to finally arrive!
Other than that I'll definetely get Smash Bros U and Captain Toad. I hold out on Watch_Dog but I'll wait a little longer because I know its price will drop fast.
Bayonetta 2! I'm so hyped for this game!
I'm buying it, but I think I'll wait for a price drop.
I'm way more hyped for Bayonetta 2 than I am for Smash, even though I love Smash.
I already preordered after E3! I can't wait for this!
A only have a Wii U right now but I plan on getting a second one for all the third party games (specially Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV). I don't know if I'll get the PS4 or the Xbox One.
Last generation I had a Wii and a PS3, but the PS4 still isn't appealling enough for me...
Meanwhile I enjoy my Wii U and 3DS
I need this NOW!!!
I'm continuing my RPG streak as I'll be playing Bravely Default and Lightning Returns: FF XIII. Between sessions of those 2 big RPGs I'll be playing Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, which is quite fun.
I just finished Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney: Justice For All. The game was incredible and I'd love to start Trials and Tribulations already. However, I think I'll put that on hold so I can continue my journey on Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Milleniun Girl.
Terrible year to pick a favorite. Best year to own a 3DS and WiiU, especially the 3DS.
Persona 3 Portable and Sonic Lost World (Wii U)
I REALLY want that all the games announced get released over here! I loved Persona 4 Golden on my Vita and Persona 4 Arena. I'm currently playing Persona 3 Portable on my PSP and I'm very excited for Persona 5 on PS3 and this one on the 3DS, althugh I know I'll also problably get the rhythm game on the VIta and the new Arena.
I already have all of these. What I wanted, and makes perfect sense, was if A Link to the Past released on both 3DS and Wii U.
My plans are the same of Anthony Dickens.
I'll be playing the Wind Waker HD which I got yesterday and found to be completely beautiful. I only got past the first dungeon on the original, but I know I'll finish this one.
I'll also be playing Beyond Two Soul that I also got yesterday. So far the game is very good and I'm eager to learn more about Jodie.
I finally finished Devil Survivor Overclocked last week. This week I'm going to beat Pokemon Black 2, which I'm devouring because I want to have a little break from Pokemon before X and Y. I already got the 8 badges, so I'll just finish the plans of Team Plasma and have my way with the Elite 4.
Other than that I'm going to play a LOT of Pikmin 3. I bought it today and the little of what I played has impressed me.
I played a lot of Runner 2 on my WiiU, but now I'm on vacation, so portables is the way to go. I'm trying to beat Project X Zone (I'm ate chapter 36, so I know I'm close). I'm also playing Ocarina of Time 3D and The World Ends With You again as I can't get tired of these games. Other than that, I have to check on my town on Animal Crossing and, if I have the time, I'll star playing Dream Team.
Of course Runner 2 is discounted only 3 days after I purchased it....
At least I was right to wait a bit for Trine 2
That's the exact same question I've been asking myself since it was announced...
I was stuck on day 2, but I was able to move on and now I'm halfway day 3. I'm playing it on easy though. I don't like and don't have time to be grinding a lot... I do hope that I can make it to the end quickly. After I played Persona 4 Golden, I got addicted to Atlus RPGs and I want to get SMT IV, but I want to finish Overclocked first...
@ Znerd
I got the 3 starters (traded with my copy of thr first Black and the first White) and a flying pokemon, but I can't remember the name of it (I haven't played in a while)
However I will finish Bowser Inside Story before continuing Pokemon
I'll be playing a little of Devil Survivor Overclocked and Animal Crossing New Leaf on my 3DS.
I plan to advance more in Bowser's Inside Story, because I want to beat that before Dream Team arrives.
Finally, having finished Skyward Sword I expect to continue the story on The Last of Us
This weekend I hope to beat The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. I know I'm very late, but I'm finally on the last quest.
I will also play Animal Crossing: New Leaf as it is taking a lot more of my time than I was expecting. It's just so much fun!
Then, if I can finish Zelda, I will play The Last of Us.
I loved the first one (played on the PS3) and this is my most anticipated game on the WiiU!
Anything else Platinum does for Nintendo I'm on board!!
Even with some delays there still so many great titles to look foward to this year!
Day one purchase for me!
Loved the trailer!
This convinced me to buy a WiiU, but I need a release date to know when to do it...
Prof. Layton and the Miracle Mask was already elected in the top 10 3DS games, which included almost only 1st party games.
You can chek it here:
My top 10 3rd party list is:
1 - Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward
2- Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy
3- Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
4- Resident Evil: Revelations
5- Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance
6- Dead or Alive Dimensions
7- Super Street Fighter IV
8- Castlevania Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate
9- Sonic Generations
10- Code of Princess
I have all the games on the list!
For me, though, Zero Ecape: Virtue's Last Reward will be the game to beat (probably by Zero Escape 3). It is my overall most played game on the 3DS and I just couldn't put it down until I saw every last ending, good or bad.
I also loved Kingdom Hearts 3D, and was expecting for it to be on the list, but oh well... At least it proves that there are more 3rd party games on the 3Ds than people realize.
This list will only get better when ProjectXZone and Shin Megami Tensei IV launch!

The bed was great.
Harley's has been bought by the BellaVista up the hill so you have to go there and check in. Not a good walk if you are at all not ready to climb stairs in all weather.
Location, the view was fabulous. The staff were lovely Good size room (#1)
Not being able to take a shower. The water wasn't working properly. Sat night not even luke warm so I could not have a shower, told them and the next day it was scorching and hot water coming out of the cold tap too. So could not have a shower. Told them and they were going to look at it. Would have liked a kettle and tea making facility in the room. But would stay there again
Room large and clean. Staff very friendly. Great view from the hotel bar of Cobh bay. Liked it.
I book for Harley but was upgraded to the Bella Vista which owns it because they were upgrading it, so don't know what Harleys is like.
harbor view/walking distance to center
no morning coffee service in lower common area/unattended
Asked for extra towel at check in, never got one. Toilet took 1/2 hour to fill & noisy. Bathroom impossibly small. No staff anywhere. Deserted backwater of whatever hotel owns it. No housekeeping whatsoever. Very uncomfortable beds.
Great location
We arrived quite late, and we have been upgraded to the main hotel, that's higher category, for no additional cost. The hotel is in a small street on the hill, but the town center is only 5 minutes walk. The room was very good, it was great value for that price.
Only minor things. It took a while until they could find the receptionist when we arrived, but as I mentioned it was quite late, so that was understandable. The hotel restaurant/bar closed quite early. If you want to have dinne late in the evening, you must go down to the town center,
I was upgraded to a double room at the nearby Bella Vista Hotel. I had problems with the Wi-fi, but the staff were extremely helpful. There was a cosy bar and lounge with live music on the Saturday night, and a Chinese Restaurant within the hotel. The breakfast was cooked to perfection, and there was plenty of choice. There are wonderful views out over Cobh (pronounced 'Cove') harbour from the restaurant. I had a very enjoyable stay.
Parking infront of the hotel is a bit cramped and on a steep slope, however there is plenty of street parking close by.
we booked Harleys Guest House at first, but a staff call me and said can upgrade our room to Bella Vista Hotel on the day before we arrive. I can only commend about Bella Vista Hotel: staffs are very nice & friendly the room we stayed is a 4 people BIG room with 1 double bed & 2 single bed! the room is big and clear!!! there is a nice seaview from our room~ we can choose different breakfast for each of us!
the car parking area was full at night, we have to park outside at night and park it back the next morning
Nice staff and service
View from my single bedroom

This concert was awesome. Highlight of AX to me. I've been waiting three years for this concert to happen since her canceled one at AX 2004, and now I finally I was able to see my idol, Haruko Momoi, perform in the US. Thank you Momoi! It was a great concert, I wouldn't have missed it for the world!!!
Also, after seeing this, I'm planning on going to Japan in December for Halko's 30th birthday (which will no doubt have a concert). Comiket will be a must since it's around that time as well (which I've ALWAYS been wanting to go to...).

Her concert saved AX for me.
I was having a pretty bad time compared to last year (Although, it was partly my own problem "Note to self: NEVER take a costume with more props than your unmulti-tasking brain can handle")
Come Monday, I was pretty tired (I woke up at 5:30 AM Sat. and Sun. to get to the SOS Brigade autograph session, not even going to comment on that one )
and I wasn't looking forward to spending hours in line. However, somehow, there were virtually no lines in. I was like O_O!!! *OMG no line*
Got in, heard her 21 Century song, loved it, and was totally hyped again (It's amazing what energy Halko can give you )
Glowsticks XDXD I got a few free, and then bought another 4
I LOVED the concert. Halko was amazing. Then she went and brought out manzo!!! OMG. I didn't even realize it was him (I didn't hear the announcement) until the My Pace Daioh whistling came on. I seriously almost cried with happiness. I am such a fangirl o_o;;
But yeah. She was completely amazing. When she was crying during the final song, I almost cried (again) too.
I looked on iTunes USA, and she actually has stuff on there o_o
Search Halko Momoi, and she has her Yume no Baton single (They spell it Yumeno Baton) and her Momo-i Quality album there. Yay.

Yeah that sounded like it was an epicly awesome concert. I'm glad her decision to concentrate on the concert paid of so wonderfully. I wish I could have been there.
How did I know PantsGoblin would be the first person to post in this thread before I clicked on the "discuss this in the forum" link?

Sounds like one of those concerts where I'd want to put a bullet throw my head within the first couple minutes just to drown out all the entranced fans. Not like she really had to do anything other than show up. Definitely doesn't sound like my kind of music, but hey just to go through the motions, "Halko Momoi was Teh Bomb and made Anime Expo 2007 Worth Everyone's While".
Odd's of me every going to any anime convention ever have dropped substantially for the forseeable future, not only for the perceived disorganization that goes into a lot of them (I value organization and competency), but for the kind of guests they have. I'd sooner be in a 105 degree fahrenheight room with somebody interesting and experienced like Yoshiyuki Tomino or Hideaki Anno giving their life story than in a concert hall with a bunch of slobbering fanboys watching the likes of Aya Hirano or Haruko "Halko" Momoi fidget along to some bland cookie cutter idol-pop music. It comes down to straight talking vs. image talking.

All the better, we probably wouldn't want you there anyway.
Uh, no. Not really. You do know how many people were disappointed with the SOS Brigade concert, right? And they had LOADS more insane fans at their concert. Halko's concert after AX Idol wasn't that great either. Lots of technical problems etc. So just showing up doesn't mean everything.

Sigh, I had great seats to this concert. Didn't expect much from this concert after the AX Idol incident, although I later found out that there were massive technical problems when she sung that night. I expected AX to delay the concert like usual so we planned on getting there at 30 minutes after the concert has started. To my surprise, the concert did not get delayed and started on time .
After 5 or so minutes, I finally got into the groove and started to enjoy her music with her squeaky voice. Overall, it was an amazing concert, dare I say the best concert at AX this year. The usage of glowsticks, jumping around, chanting with other fanboys... God what an amazing sensation. Near the end of the concert, watching her cry out of happiness was very emotional. It felt as if all of her energy passed through me, something I have never experienced in my life before. I left the concert with a giant smile on my face, such a great way to end the last day of AX.
I have never listen to any of her music prior and wished that I had. Realizing that I missed the first 30 minutes sucks, and I truly regret it. It also sucks how there was such a low turnout for her concert in comparison with the others. Going to this concert has truly made me enjoy this years AX much more. In my opinion, best AX I've ever went to.

I'm kinda bummed I missed her at AX, so maybe I will seek out performances of hers in Tokyo as well... 30th birthday you say? Hmmm. :3

|I'm glad that she stayed and remained faithful to her fans, it could have turned out a lot worse. The thing about Japanese construction companies having theme songs actually came up on the show called Trivia once, now that was funny.

That was an awesome concert. To me, the only big disappointments were the SOS autograph session (damn you bandai) and the concert, both of which were....ok I think we've all heard the complaints.
Before the concert, I knew Momoi only a little bit, but after that, I happily bought one of her albums (the cover train one), and got some posters, one of which is now on my wall.
I am also the proud owner of one of the 4~5 signed red balls she threw out at the end of the concert. I very wisely stood up on my chair and intercepted one as she threw it out
I think the guests this year were totally awesome (Otakon this year pales by comparison...unless they have more unannounced guests)... but disorganization just killed the experience for me. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to talk to Hirano Aya but AX screwed up big time and in the end everyone left tired and dissatisfied.

Yeah!!! Thanks for the good recap
Momoi's music and voice certainly aren't everyone's cup of tea, obviously including the article writer lol, but I think everyone had fun at her concert due to all the energy. I am glad she could make a lot of new fans and all of us longtime fans could support her and have so much fun!! She really has a great stage presence to get everyone excited and is good at performing live with lots of energy. Plus the fans worked so hard to get call books and glow sticks to everyone so we could have a live just like in Japan.. The Japanese fans of Momoi go very crazy at her concerts, I was so glad to get to feel that same kind of atmosphere!! Thank you to everyone who cheered Everyone being so nice made it into an experience Momoi will not forget, it was very emotional
Just a quick note, it is Gura Gura, not "Guro Guro".. Guro guro sounds a little scary!! lol (and tsugi instead of sugi, I think, not to nit pick, just saying )

Cool! I'm the even more deliriously happy owner of the Power Glove she threw out It wasn't hard to explain to my friends at all, they thought it was awesome! They wanted to know if I would try and get it working, but she trimmed the cord so it's a no go. I got bonus points for it being a Famicon one and not a Nintendo...in tribute I wore it while playing Ooendan for the DS later in the day. It was a little difficult due to bulk ^^;
It was a totally awesome concert though. I only knew two of the songs, but I still had a great time, and a great souvenir

Hey now, I can kind of picture her singing "God Only Knows."
Of course, I can consequently picture rows and rows of wine glasses shattering.

The Minor League starter and the former Major League reliever noticed two inconsistencies: Francescon's arm slot and where his plant leg landed on his follow-through.
Consider the errors fixed.
Francescon allowed one hit over a career-high seven innings Saturday as the Class A Chiefs beat the visiting Lansing Lugnuts, 2-0, for their first shutout of the season.
"I guess I'm a visual person," the winning pitcher deadpanned.
Francescon struck out five, walked a batter and yielded only Kevin Pillar's leadoff double in the second inning.
"It was a fastball. I hit my spot, on the black," Francescon said. "He just blooped it over the first baseman and it rolled to the wall. Like good hitters do, he got it."
After walking Kellen Sweeney to start the fourth, the 23-year-old right-hander retired his final 11 batters.
"My sinker was working well, I was missing barrels with it," the Cubs' 40th-round pick said. "I was throwing my slider for first-pitch strikes. I got a couple of guys with my changeup late in counts. Everything was working.
"Every time I went out there, I wasn't trying to change anything."
Francescon was mainly a reliever last season, his first in the pros. The Trevecca Nazarene University product compiled a 3.49 ERA in 19 appearances across three levels, finishing with Daytona in the Class A Advanced Florida State League.
"This is by far my best" game, he said.
The Tennessee native pitched into the sixth for the first time on April 12, when he limited Wisconsin to three runs on six hits over 5 2/3 innings.
Villone, who replaced pitching coach Tom Pratt last month after Pratt was diagnosed with cancer, helped Francescon review his most recent outing. The pitcher gave up two runs on three hits and three walks while facing the Lugnuts earlier this week.
Francescon did not have the luxury of analyzing his starts on the tube last season, as was the case during his college career. He now has a post-start routine -- call it "Video with Villone" -- for the rest of this season.
"It's helpful," he said. "I like to see what I'm doing right and wrong."

"The report of my death was an exaggeration." – Mark Twain
"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated" – Wil Wheaton
"We have 11.4 million subscribers." – Mike Morhaime
In 1907, that's over a century ago folks, Mark Twain's yacht the Kanawha was delayed by weather as it returned him to New York. Some of the members of his party elected to take the train, but Twain who disliked train travel waited it out until the Atlantic was calm enough for the trip home. When he missed his scheduled arrival time it was reported that he was lost at sea. It seems sensationalism is not such a new idea in journalism as we have been led to believe. Twain had already been reported dead once before, when a cousin was ill. It was becoming old-hat.
In 2005, Wil Wheaton wrote this, which has no real connection to Mr. Twain other than he created a clusterfrak, then burglarized and butchered Twain's quote in one fell swoop of his mechanical keyboard.
I have no idea how many times fans voted to have this guy exiled from the Star Trek series, but I'm sure it happened on more than one occasion.
Which leads us to something even sillier, if that is possible…
In an earlier column I wrote a bit about the current state of World of Warcraft and how the chicken littles were running helter skelter about the interwebz, their little non-flight capable wings covering their heads, all the while bemoaning the end of the game, the company that makes it and the MMO industry in general. David Piner takes a more intelligent look at the state of WoW in his piece titled, Mass Exodus: A Post-Mortem on the Shrinking Playerbase in World of Warcraft.
Here are some quick points to consider if you are a WoW player or considering giving the game a shot.

Editor's Notes: Lottery winners, losers
|| Print |
|Robin Doussard
|Monday, March 29, 2010
I've never bought a single lottery ticket in my life. Not even a single scratch-off. But if women who live in Lake Oswego (I am, I do) keep winning the $1 million raffle, I might have to rethink my investment strategy.
The latest winner could have been me. Sandy Hendricks last week was the second woman from Lake Oswego in three years to win the million-dollar Oregon Lottery Raffle. Hendricks, who won the St. Patrick's Day Raffle, told reporters she is in her early 50s (I am) and has Irish grandparents (I do). "You know, I've never played a raffle before," Hendricks told the Oregonian (ditto). "I bought a ticket because I like leprechauns, I guess."
Well, I don't like leprechauns (frankly, they creep me out). I don't believe in luck, or at least I don't believe that I'm lucky, so I've never seen the purpose in buying games of chance.
But looking at how my current investment strategy is working, maybe I should reconsider. Maybe I should embrace tiny little men in green coats (eek, my neck hairs are standing on end). It would take a long time with my conservative strategy and modest pot of gold to make a million bucks. Like about a hundred years. Maybe I should join the millions of other gamblers and roll the dice, court Lady Luck, see if I can beat the house. Maybe I should spin the wheel and buy a ticket for the July 4 Raffle drawing.
I can see how people want to believe in luck (especially those of us in Lake Oswego), and for about two seconds I considered buying that first ticket. Like a lot of people in a frightening economy, dreams of how I would use the money are quick to pop up: pay off the bills, help my unemployed sister, donate a little more to charity, maybe even invest a little more.
But then I think about how Oregon is addicted to lottery funds as a way to pay for a long list of services such as parks and education and that despite the growing gambling addiction of Oregonians, and the impact that has on families, individuals and society, the state continues to launch new games and add locations (including Portland International Airport) to lure more players because it needs more money. "We're just a junkie, a big lottery junkie," Rep. Mitch Greenlick said in a story on the lottery Oregon Business wrote in 2008.
The state's not the only gambling junkie. Between 1995 and 2008, almost 17,000 Oregonians enrolled in problem gambling treatment programs, and thousands of their family members enrolled in family treatment programs. Oregon has done no studies on the social costs of gambling, yet starting in April, the state will cut treatment programs for the gambling addicts it helps to create. (Example: The 250,000 tickets for the St. Pat's raffle were sold out in 10 days.) Those programs are funded by a portion of the lottery profits and those profits have dropped about 20% since 2008, with the recession taking its toll. At least 265 people will be turned away from treatment because of the latest cuts, according to a review by the Oregonian of state budget records. This is not the first time that the reserves set aside for treatment programs has been raided since the lottery was created in 1985.
So with all due respect to my winning neighbors, I think I'll take my chances with the whims of the stock market, the fate of Social Security, and my fluctuating ability to save money. As unreliable as they are, they seem a better bet than kissing a leprechaun or supporting a state revenue program that addicts its customers and then kicks them to the curb when they need help. It also helps to remember that you never beat the house.

Sneaker culture and snowboarding may be more related than you think. Snowboarding accessory-maker Drop launched its Laced Up collection this season, which takes inspiration from classic athletic shoes. "Come to a snowboard trade show and see how many people are showing off their latest sneaker finds," said senior designer Chris Gougeon. "The sneaker and snowboarding worlds definitely have a connection." He added that the gloves' fingertips take influence from the toe-cap of a Nike Dunk, and the lacing system was inspired by Vans sneakers. Retailing for $65, the gloves can be ordered at Dropmfg.com.

Sonic the Hedgehog may be fast, but Sonic fans have proven to be faster, ripping the game's stage list, DLC details, and boss fights from the recently released demo for Sonic Generations. The detailed list, first posted on the Sonic Retro forums, may anger core Sonic fans who are infamous for hating what they love most. Still, it does feature many classic stages and bosses from past titles. It also appears that the Casino Night Zone, a Sonic pinball level, will be released as DLC at a later date.
The list also appears to have been removed due to a copyright claim from Sega, which speaks more to the credibility of the leaked list. Here it is in its entirety:
Green Hill Zone
Chemical Plant Zone
Sky Sanctuary Zone
Speed Highway
City Escape
Seaside Hill
Crisis City
Rooftop Run
Planet Wisp
Casino Night Zone
Boss fights
Metal Sonic
"Death Egg"
Perfect Chaos
Egg Dragoon
Boss LastBoss(TimeEater) (That's just what the file calls it.)
The free demo for Sonic Generations launched today to celebrate Sonic's 20th anniversary and will be available on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network for the next 20 days.

To Third, the moral of the Christmas Carol isn't "celebrate Christmas", which almost everyone is happy to do (except Third). For Third, the most important part is Scrooge saying "I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year". Hypocrisy is a greater crime than unkindness, and he sees no point in a celebration of generosity when humans forget to be generous for the rest of the year.
I enjoy Christmas a lot, but I have to admit Third and I share that view.
This page ended up being late because I ran out of time during the week. I worked myself into a very bad mood during the one free day I had to draw, and its very difficult to sit at the computer and draw when all you want to do is smash things.
I've recovered since and so… comic. I quite like how it turned out, but you can almost see where I got tired of drawing backgrounds. I really need to set aside a few days to finish the exterior town backgrounds I've been working at on and off since 2012.
