Just because some people are pretty loud on the internet, doesn't mean that what they shout is true. At least judging by sales ME3 and D3 were pretty succesful. I liked both games, despite the flaws they had.
From what I've seen MoP is a pretty nice expansion. It appeals more to me than Cataclysm. I just wish that when people look/read/watch the reviews, they would pay more attention to the content of the review, instead of the "final verdict".

But sale number is no good judge either, sub numbers a month before release and a month after will tell us a lot more. If the expansion was good people will keep playing, if it sucked the subs will drop.
As I see it that will be the fairest way to measure it.

Yeah. 90% of the user "reviews" on Metacritic are 0 or 10 - beats me why they don't just switch to a thumbs up/thumbs down system like YouTube et al. And 90% of those aren't reviewing the game - they're just fanboy'ing in a 10 or hating in a 0. You might as well go to a football game, count the number of jerseys for the home team and the visitors, and say "man, the visitors sucked, only 3.3% of the crowd gave them a positive review".

And i will not argue with you because you are entitled to having your own opinion, as well as enjoying the game you like. There is nothing bad in that you liked D3 or ME3. But truth is, a lot of people didnt, and both games had a major failure related to them:
Diablo 3:
- It is lacking features that even D1 had (true character development, where you can allocate stats that do matter, true progression to max level, this was added lately though)
- it was a game focused on singleplayer that was unplayable several WEEKS from the launch because they forced online-only DRM on you
- Several other huge flaws related to the "online-only" policy, like getting DC'ed because of server side issues moment before boss died, or moment before you picked up loot, or moment before you picked up an item you dropped in town
- Broken AH that first resulted in constant outages and then Blizzard blatanly steaing money from their customers and banning them on forums so they cant complain (one dude only got him money back after his article was put up on Forbes)
- Broken balance, where an advice to "how do i clear Inferno with class X" was "reroll DH"
- Which was fixed in a way to constantly deprieve people of their hard-earned loot (crappy legendaries were buffed without retroactively changing gear people acquired, yet attack speed items were retroactively changed, nerfing a lot of people's gear to the ground, and so on so on), no doubt to keep people interested in playing and spending real money on RMAH
- Generally, game built about loot acquisition for a specific build (say, monks need to stack one resistance) that is based on specific class abilities, has those abilities constantly changed or nerfed, making hard-earned gear constantly go obsolete (like, no-vit gear fo wizards back when energy shield worked as intended, but then they change it and all that gear becomes useless)
- Btw, Single player game where i HAVE to mandatorily install patches that make game less fun to play for me? What's not to love!
- Until fixed recently, absolutely broken multiplayer because grouping increased mob damage which just demolished you (heh, mobs were already oneshotting you most of the time, but now you didnt have chance at all)
- Absolutely boring mind-numbingly insane-driving gameplay at inferno involving kiting everything forever if you want to advance past Act II. Yah you'll still have to restart the game constantly when you meet invulnerabe vortex molten fire chain in a narrow cave...
And i could go on and on. Mind it i played Wizard, which was second best class, so i wasnt as gimped as my friend barbarian who just couldnt do SHIT in inferno, like at all, while DH's were having their way being invincible all the time AND dealing huge damage
Mass Effect 3
I can only speak from other people's word, from what i studied for several hours on indoctrination theory and the endings that were insanely lackluster (which gave birth to the theory). Granted, game makers apologised and made new endings, but it i'm talking the release game state, the one that Metacritic's critics rated. Day 1 DLC to play a race that is crucial to the universe? Yes please! Kill everything with the ending, whatever you chose (all mass relays destroyed -> all allied fleets stranded in one system and have starved to death)? Yes please!
Once agian, if you enjoyed them, good for you. I also enjoyed D3 for several days while i got to 60 and got my good gear. But fun dwindled, and butthurt and frustration raised to the floor. And then i decided to look at it objectively and saw only failure and failure over failure with not really much of a "game". And then i understood i had paid 60$ or so for it, and a lot of people pay WAY MORE with RMAH (1 item 200$ lol). And it was disgusting!

When it comes to games like D3 and MoP I don't trust Metacritic worh a crap as people would more likely give it a negative review because they simply hate the game. TSW might have some fair ratings as it is a more nitche crowd but with MoP haters in droves would vote negatively for the sheer pleasure of it having a negative review even though they never played or bought the game.
Not saying MoP is good or bad, didn't buy it and have no intrest in it, but that metacritic is highly unrealiable when top notch popular games like WoW.

There is a reason why some shops have many boxes and even the collector edition left in their shelves and some shops already threw pricecuts on the game just 3 days after launch...
I didnt expect the expansion sales to turn out THAT bad.
Effectively lowering the server caps (likely fiddling with the caps through the "cross realm" server merge system) to fake longer queues at least on a few server and adjusting server ratings (in multiple steps before the expasion, but they where still caught by player noticing their low servers suddenly where flagged medium for no reason) to fake more "high" or "medium" server on the realmlist, nor well compensated or bandwagoning "professional" reviews will change anything on it.
But dont worry not in half a year like usual but already in 4 days MOP will release in China and all "the numbers" they used to throw at naive user will look much more rosy on paper this time again!

It surely isn't doing as well as previous expansions but it isn't doing bad by any means.

Haters are gonna hate. Other than a couple of bugs, like the double chat bug and a few bugs like keg smash not working right, but overall I haven't had much problems at all. There was a 28 person queue when I went to eat and came back, but that only took about 2 minutes. I'm level 49 right now on my monk, and I'm still having fun. The monk quest every 10 levels is nice, as it makes a break in between the content someone like myself has already done (altoholics).
Edit: As far as launches go, the NA was one of the best I've seen since Dark Age of Camelot, which had really no problems, except a couple of bugs which were fixed in like 6 hours lol.

I find a lot of times that there are movies I feel are pretty good quality and they get down in the mid to high 6s and low 7s. Although I've never once looked at metacritic before buying a game (I tend to look at the early information and pile it all together to decide. I'm almost never far off with my expectation.), but I've heard similar way off scores on games before.
I'm not saying MoP is good or bad, I haven't tried it and I never will.
But I think things like metacritic tend to be far more about popularity contests then anything else. If something is cool to hate, everyone hates it. If something is trendy to love everyone loves it. And the score is up to 4.0 now when I clicked the link just as a factual FYI.

This type of "information" is always funny to me. When GW2 was "sold out everywhere" according to a lot of people on these forums within the first couple days of launch, I went to 3 different stores in a very densely populated area near a large city and they all had tons of stock.
It is just funny to always see the "It is sold out in my area so it is selling amazing" maybe your area expected little demand and only ordered 10 copies to begin with. No matter the reason (area is huge fan of the game, fewer copies were stocked, or exaggeration), a store being sold out is not real proof of everything. Just as there being copies in a store is proof of nothing at all.
The better the numbers, the faster Blizzard will release them. It is how they work. When they hit a new milestone of subscriptions from getting their game back in China, they shout it from the roof top 2 seconds later. When for years the numbers slowly go down they never comment. The longer it takes them to come out with MoP numbers the less impressive they will be. The fact I haven't heard release day sales is one indication already. If we don't hear first weekend/first week sales it will be another.

Comments about 3-Piece Material Removal Blade Set:
I was hoping to use this product as an affordable solution/replacement for a similar tool for removing automotive windshields.(Black urethane which holds windshield to car/truck/etc.)
Well, it almost worked. Milwaukee Tools are constructed well. I hope they will look into designing and manufacturing their own affordable tool for replacing "Equalizer Express Hydroblades" designed for use with reciprocating saws. The hydroblades are designed for the easier removal of urethane holding automotive windshields in place. These tools could have been more flexible and either come with a separate or built-in extension. They are very similar to the tools designed for this purpose. If Milwaukee does ever get around to making them, you can be sure the tool/s will last.

Hi all,
Need some information, recommendations!
I am looking for an app that will allow me to map out our folder structure that we can host on our intranet, or on a document.
What I want to achieve is, to map out directory structure, when a user clicks on a certain folder/folder level then they will be told what group they need to be in to access this folder etc.
My web development skills are as good as my Greek Mythology.....Non existent! But happy to go this route if needs-be.
Any information would be great.
Thanks in advance all.

It Could Soon Be Drone Hunting Season
Originally published on Fri September 6, 2013 12:40 pm
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
It may soon be drone hunting season. Deer Trail, Colorado, is considering a plan to issue hunting licenses for drones. It's a protest against federal surveillance. And even though the proposal has not passed, the Denver Post says 983 people applied. Now, you'd think the federal government would laugh off this notion that there would ever be a drone over Deer Trail. Instead, officials have warned against shooting them.

what weight lifting routine to use for rehabilitation.
I've recently recovered from a knee injury (I damaged my Vastus Medialis (Internus), number 4 here: http://www.exrx.net/Muscles/Quadriceps.html)
I've had several physio sessions, and now been signed off by my therapist so I'm free to train again. I've been told that weight training on it will be fine, and that it'll be good to build up muscle to protect myself from further injury.
My question is: Is there a specific routine I should adopt to build up a (previously) damaged muscle, or should I just do the standard 8-12reps thing?

Sounds familiar, I think we're going to work on stability when I've got some flexibility back.
How about shelling out for a sports physio? You should be able to get a consultation for £25, ball park figure. You're much better getting a training routine from someone who's examined your knee. Sports centres probably know who to contact, as will the bigger MA gyms.
Style: Mei Hua Chuan/MMA--
Another good one is leg raises, lay flat and raise your leg a bit, hold 30 seconds raise it more another 30 and do that till it's straight up( usually done in a 5 position rep from floor to straight up), hold a minute lower it another 30 and so on.
Once that gets easy, up the time or add ankle weights and do it to rebuild/strengthen the muscle.

It is funny to see the transition in the U.S. from never really discussing soccer in everyday conversation to going totally crazy (in the good way!) for the World Cup. With so much hype, combined with the scarcity of an event which happens only once every four years, I find it humorous.
All of the ethnic groups start to show their jerseys and other merchandise. Unique types of recipes start getting cooked which almost never get made during any other time. An international flavor takes over certain U.S. sports bars; and… of course… the songs! The fan-generated music is one thing which differentiates international soccer from other U.S. sports.
Here are just some examples of the fun starting here in the U.S.:
- My friend Dan has his wife cook certain ethnic dishes that he hasn't had in ages
- Jen and Michael have their kids learn more about world geography in ways like learning the capitals and other major cities of each country in the World Cup
- JB has some of his employees talk about the World Cup when people call about international moves, either leaving the U.S. or moving into the U.S.
- Even teams in other sports like the Brownsville Charros have their players watching the matches on their phones while traveling from town to town. One team offering family activities in Fort Worth are taking pictures of baseball fans wearing soccer jerseys with the team's mascot
My friend has a kid who loves soccer. This is the first year where the kid will be old enough to appreciate the World Cup, so the family plans on watching as many of the events as possible. The ability to see the games being played, with all of the recording capability, is going to be leveraged to help the kid with school as well.
Here are some of the ways:
- getting a map of the world so that the child can identify the countries and where they are in relationship to one another
- learning the basics of each language for the countries they see including counting from one to ten, the alphabet, and other basics for each language
- talk about the cars relevant to each country since his dad sells pre-owned jaguars in Dallas and North Texas
- try out a dish tied to the native countries playing
What else would you recommend?
One of the wild aspects of the World Cup is the passion it brings out in fans in America, especially those who weren't born here. Even more interesting is the passion coming from first-generation Americans who are heavily involved in professional and amateur athletics!
This is interesting as so many people tend to be "haughty" about their respective sports, but when the World Cup, the Olympics or any other sporting event which happens less than once a year takes place… the national pride comes out quickly! I found this particularly funny from a friend who is one of the boxing and jiu jitsu trainers in Dallas. He is so heavily involved in boxing, MMA, jiu jitsu and Muay Thai that you would think an athlete (born and raised in Eastern Europe) – focused on sports so combative and individualistic – would not pay much attention to a team sport which doesn't have lots of physical contact.
In actuality, he loves the sport especially when his country plays or is attempting to qualify. He, and guys like him, can go on for hours about soccer and the World Cup and other FIFA events.

I guess one of the good things about my non-quilting mood is that I am getting some little projects crossed off my list. Such as this pin cushion made with a teacup I bought at Goodwill for .49 cents. There is a tutorial here. For the teacup I just cut the circle of fabric about 2-3" larger than the cup. Now my pins won't stick through the back of my old pincushion and poke me! I'm not sure the name of the fabric I used, or the one under the cup for that matter, but I really like them both!
I'm amazed how much you guys know about chicken eggs from my last post!! It was very helpful! Today we ( as in I'm taking pictures) are cutting down cornstalks. Our local grocery store buys them for decoration & to sell. Thus…the machete in my hands while wearing my lounge pants and my Uggs. :)

This patient support community is for discussions relating to pregnancy, childbirth and maternity for babies due or born in July 2013.
Week 1
What's Happening To Your Body
Physicians calculate your expected delivery date by adding 40 weeks (280 days) from the first day of your last period. This means that during your first two weeks of "pregnancy" you haven't even conceived yet.
Your period has just started and you are considering conceiving. Your health will play the ultimate role in the ease of the pregnancy as well as the health of the baby. Now is the time to start developing these healthy pregnancy habits if you haven't already.
What's Happening To Your Baby
During this first week, you are still menstruating. Your body is preparing for its next ovulation in which it will release a new egg — the beginnings of your baby.

I rode to the public library one time during my break from riding. I left without spending much time among the shelves because there was an unsettling, stale odor. When I got back outside and was riding my bike up the hill past the cemetery, I kept thinking about how the air blown over the graveyard felt fresher than that in the library, and how, even though the breeze had to be made up of all kinds of different particles from all sorts of sources, the wind had a consistent, crisp smell. The next day, I went back and rode through the cemetery. In all, I rode through three cemeteries during the time I wasn't riding. In the last one, I went slow enough to make out some etchings on the most eroded markers, names that were barely there that day and might be gone before I came back because, I told myself, soon I was going to get back to riding again.
When I wasn't riding, I rode to two convenience stores, multiple times, for eggs, doughnuts, butter, energy drinks, salted cashews, gummies, cold medicine, batteries, gum, to stand by the window and read the front page of the local newspapers, and once completely on a reasonless impulse, which resulted in a new experience for me, that of browsing the toy section of 7-Eleven.
I rode to the pizza joint at the bottom of the hill at least five times. I came to prefer slices carpeted with oily, thick-cut sausage, which surprised me. I rode to the post office three times, carrying packages and envelopes in my messenger bag, to drop off and pick up, and in every instance at some point I pretended I was a Western Union kid, except for one of those trips when, in separate interludes just blocks apart, I twice entertained the fantasy.
I crashed my bike while I was not riding. I'd been puttering along one morning, and as I looked around I'd noticed a handwritten note fluttering in the wet grass. I'd stopped and gotten off my bike and laid it down and walked over to see what intrigue I might discover. I'd found out that Marcy was bored and hated algebra and was mad at Tim and would never forgive him. Just after I got back on the road, the dew-slick sole of my Converse sneaker came off the platform of my Keo pedal and I fell onto the top tube, lost my grip on the right hood, and went down. I was pretty mad at Marcy. But as I lay there I realized that I must have tucked into myself before the impact then rolled over once or twice just like you're supposed to, because although my shoulder hurt, it wasn't hurt. I forgave Marcy.

Jordan Tailor Miller
August 30, 2007 - October 21, 2007
I have shed many tears for this blue-eyed boy named Jordan. The last time we saw you, you were very happy. I held you with big sister Kita right there and talked to you but when you heard your grandpa's voice you kept looking around for him. As grandpa was talking to you're daddy, you were not interested in listening to what gramma had to say so you started to cry and no way were you letting up for me. You were looking for grandpa, so I said, here grandpa Jordan wants you and guess what, you little monkey, you stopped your crying. You, Jordan, were now in the arms of your grandpa. You two talked to each other for about 45 minutes. Your grandpa was sure a happy, happy man, as was your daddy watching the two of you. I remember you were in a one-piece with bunnies on your feet. I bet those bunnies were tickling your feet. Then you decided that you were hungry, and that, my sweet Jordan, is the very, very last time we saw you and your true blue eyes.
The next time we see you, you are wrapped in a blanket with a tube in your mouth, eyes closed, no more smiles, no more grins, no chance of laughter, no more cuddles to come. You are very cold. I draw you close to me with tears, tears of sadness, tears of pain. As the tears flow from my eyes, I wipe them with my hand and rub them on your forehead and some on your tiny little head. I kiss your head, I beep beep your nose hoping and praying that you would open your eyes, but you don't. I hug and hug you and kiss you and hand you to grandpa. Grandpa sheds many, many more tears. As he is crying one of grandpa's tears drops onto your right eye and Jordan, my little grandson, it so looks like you have also shed a tear. The tear slowly, slowly seeps into your cold skin.
We will miss you Jordan and we love you to pieces.
(Grandpa and grandma)

What's the latest "science" they're trying to sell you to treat autism? Infrared sauna therapy. Yep, you read that right. According to a recent wire story, a company that peddles saunas has teamed up with Generation Rescue–Jenny McCarthy's Generation Rescue–to "bring awareness to the therapeutic benefits of infrared saunas to the autism community." The company is kindly offering "half-size" saunas to accommodate sweating out the half-pint autistic child in your life. From what I can tell, these things are not cheap. Quoth the article:
Studies have shown that sauna therapy is a valuable clinical tool for treating autoimmune, toxicant-induced and other chronic health problems. Far infrared sauna therapy offers a component of depuration and offers a variety of health benefits to regular users including the removal of toxins in the body leading to increased health and brain function. More …
Odd that. The three articles they cite to support their assertions show no such thing. The first paper they offer isn't a study, it's a review. That means it contains no original data. It appears to be a general discussion of the use of saunas, a la Scandinavians, for treating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pain, and "addiction." A second paper they cite is also a review of other studies and thus also contains no original data. Worth noting, this review paper says the following about saunas:
Despite much attention given to saunas with heaters emitting at specific electromagnetic frequencies, research to date suggests that there is no difference in toxicant excretion rates between perspiration that occurs through infrared sauna, dry or wet regular saunas, or exercise.
In other words, according to their own citation, Generation Rescue has teamed up with this sauna company
to sell you to make you "aware" of something with effects you could achieve … by simply exercising.
Their third and final citation is this one. It does contain original data, but not about the effectiveness of saunas for autism. No. It's a survey of naturopaths about the techniques they use for "detoxification therapies." To add to this featherweight accumulation of evidence, on its Website, the sauna company offers up the expert opinion of one Dutch physician … who died in 1738. His apparent legacy to later generations was the advice that keeping your head cool and your feet warm would keep the doctor away. Daily apples, cold heads, warm feet. Got it.
Infrared sauna therapy might have some benefits for some health conditions (although I'd not recommend trying it for the autoimmune disease known as multiple sclerosis). But nothing in the lone study or in the two reviews cited specifically supports effectiveness of infrared sauna for autism. That might be in part because there's not an evidence base for asserting that autism is a condition that necessitates "detoxification," although there certainly is a cottage industry built up around selling this idea–and treatments for it–to concerned families. And it's not the first time Jenny McCarthy and Generation Rescue have been associated with such interventions. We've had hyperbaric oxygen therapy, chelation, Lupron (essentially chemical castration), and industrial strength bleach used against children with autism in pursuit of this heavy metal phantom. Is it any surprise that if it's OK to subject children to confinement in HBOT chambers, injections, and bleach enemas, forced sweating could so easily be added to the list?

Mega-Churches and Worshipping Incognito
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Aug 02, 2014 Category: ArticlesLike mega-cities, monstrous churches not only carry the temptation of invisibility, but such is one of their selling points. I've read polls where one key reason why people like their local mega-church is, "You can show up, sit down, and when it's over go home. And no one bothers you." Ouch. Any church receiving such an endorsement ought to blush. Keep Reading
How Much Detail Do We Need to Go into When Evangelizing?

While we can talk about distinct propositions, the truth is that truth is monolithic, one piece, simple rather than parts. Such means, of course, that His revelation is not part cake and part icing, part substance and part sizzle. Keep Reading

A fashion post: Bright Lime
October 29, 2012 | Someone has commented about this - check it out!
Summer is coming around and it is finally time to brighten up again! (Ok, main reason I'm posting this outfit post is because I bought a new pink backdrop and was so excited to use it. HAHAHA #sneaky)
I usually try to balance bright colours out. Much like the rule of "either legs or boobs", the rule applies here. Don't over-do it. Less is more.
Skirt from Ally Fashion, basic black tank (forgot where from), White blazer from "Imprint", Rings are assorted
And for those who are curious cats, my contacts are my usual GEO Bambi lens in Green Apple, my nail polish is "shellac"ed but I have Revlon Top Speed Nail polish in Electric over my colour (due to getting bored of the colour) and my lips are Revlon Lip Butter in Cupcake.

I nominate Robert McCammon.
If you loved the Stand, read Swan Song.

He's the SK of the deep south.

I nominate Robert McCammon.
If you loved the Stand, read Swan Song.
If you loved It, read Boy's Life.
He's the SK of the deep south.
I would agree, McCammon can spin a helluva good story. He's my second favorite.
Just finished "The Providence Rider," the fourth in McCammon's Matthew Corbett series, and it was outstanding. Goathunter told me he plans to write 10 novels in this series, so I am very excited to see what happens next!
My first experience with McCammon- Mystery Walk. About 3/4 into the book and it's a page turner.
Robert McCammon!
Nobody can top Stephen King though, but I think a lot of that is personal prejudice. I found Stephen King's work when I was a teenager, Carrie was like a life line tossed out to me by the universe via Stephen King (and Tabitha who rescued the story from the abyss). I will always have a special place in my heart for his writing that no other word slinger could ever fill.
But yes, Robert McCammon could write popcorn and make me smell butter. He's that good.
I attempted Swan Song and only got about a quarter of the way into it. I just couldn't finish it for some reason. Maybe I will give it another go.
I actually haven't read anything by McCammon. If this many King fans say he's in second place next to King, that's high praise. Now I know who to read non-King next.
I haven't had the pleasure. Thanks for the heads up!
Looks like I have another author to start reading.
Adding McCammon to the list!
Robert McCammon is great! There's also Dan Simmons, Robert Block, Richard Matheson, Joe Lansdale (his horror and thrillers are great and I especially love his Hap & Leonard books). Lots to pick from out there! (Notice I didn't mention Stephanie Meyer.......)

What was your reaction when you got the news you'd be returning to the Wolves?
I was so excited we got it all done. The process really started at the end of last season, when I met with (General Manager) Wendell Young and started discussing next season and the upcoming affiliation change. It seemed like such a good fit, so I let my agent take over handling the details and went from there. It felt great knowing the team wanted me to come back right away.
Was Chicago your first choice to land with, or were you talking with other teams as well?
Chicago was definitely my first choice all along and the place I wanted to play most. It's such a good organization and we're well taken care of. You want to be playing there if you can.
Looking back on last season, what have you taken away individually?
You know, last season was a little strange. It's hard to know what to make of it because of the lockout and how many players we had coming and going. Overall, I feel that I grew a lot as a goaltender though. We faced a lot of adversity and not everything went our way. There was an opportunity to grow and gain a lot from the experience and I think I did that.
You went from a backup to starter early on last season, going on to set a club record for most road shutouts (5) and earning a consecutive scoreless streak of 173 minutes, 57 seconds. Was it daunting to transition into the spotlight?
Not really. I carried the load with the San Antonio Rampage (during the 2010-11 season) and took over as the starter in Texas (in 2009-10). Whatever your role is going into a season, you always want to have the chance to be a starting goalie and if you do get the opportunity you run with it. I want to be the starter. I want to be the guy.
How has your approach to goaltending evolved?
To be honest I have always approached it the same way. The game of hockey is so quick and you never know what's going to happen. Eddie Lack got injured last season and I was playing more but it doesn't change how I handled my role. I'm always going to try and leave everything I have on the ice.
The Wolves signed a new partnership agreement with the St. Louis Blues, which means a lot of new teammates next season. Excited?
Absolutely. Sometimes change is good. Being able to have a fresh start next year with new faces also means new competition. Any time you have new people coming in and competing for ice time, it's a good thing. From the meetings I've had, and knowing what the tradition of Chicago Wolves hockey is, we're going to do whatever it takes to build a championship team.
What's your No. 1 goal for the offseason before you come to camp in the fall?
First things first, and that's getting myself ready. Whatever it takes to be in shape and put myself in the best possible position to be the starter and help the team win games, that's what I'm going to be focused on.

FAIRVIEW - A home that had just been purchased and was in the process of being remodeled received damage to the living room area Monday afternoon, after embers from the fireplace chimney that had not been cleaned prior to use, ignited the wood structure behind the brick.
According to information provided by Williamson Fire Department (WFD) Firefighters Matt Hatfield and Garrett Gregory, they were dispatched to a home located in the Fairview Edition directly off of Rt. 52 after a call was received of a chimney fire. Upon arrival, the firemen discovered a fire in the wall directly behind the fireplace, and had to remove a portion of the ceiling and an exterior wall that adjoined the structure to extinguish the flames.
"The homeowners had just purchased the home, and were there doing some renovations," stated Hatfield. "As the temperatures dropped today, the house became cool and since there was no electricity in the structure, they decided to build a fire to heat the house."
"The chimney hadn't been cleaned, and embers ignited inside the wood structure that formed up the fireplace."
The firefighters stated that the damage was isolated to the living room only. A total of 5 firemen responded to the call, led by Chief Jerry Mounts.
Following the call, the chief spoke with the Daily News about fireplace safety, precautions and maintenance that must be performed to assure the safety of those utilizing this form of heat.
"More than one-third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-fired appliances as primary heat sources in their homes," stated Mounts.
"According to national statistics, heating fires account for 36 percent of residential home fires in rural areas every year. Often these fires are due to creosote buildup in chimneys and stovepipes. Another leading cause of fireplace fire is that weak mortar joints allow super-heated gases to escape outside the fireplace walls and ignite wood framing or other combustible materials. All home heating systems require regular maintenance to function safely and efficiently."
The WFD encourages property owners who use a fireplace to practice the following fire safety steps to keep fireplaces and wood burning stoves clean.
• Have your chimney or wood stove inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist.
• Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations and flammable materials.
• Leave glass doors open while burning a fire. Leaving the doors open ensures that the fire receives enough air to ensure complete combustion and keeps creosote from building up in the chimney.
• Close glass doors when the fire is out to keep air from the chimney opening from getting into the room. Most glass fireplace doors have a metal mesh screen which should be closed when the glass doors are open. This mesh screen helps keep embers from getting out of the fireplace area.
• Always use a metal mesh screen with fireplaces that do not have a glass fireplace door.
• Install stovepipe thermometers to help monitor flue temperatures.
• Keep air inlets on wood stoves open, and never restrict air supply to fireplaces. Otherwise you may cause creosote buildup that could lead to a chimney fire.
• Use fire-resistant materials on walls around wood stoves.
• Never use flammable liquids to start a fire. Use only seasoned hardwood. Soft, moist wood accelerates creosote buildup. In pellet stoves, burn only dry, seasoned wood pellets.
• Build small fires that burn completely and produce less smoke.
• Never burn cardboard boxes, trash or debris in your fireplace or wood stove.
• When building a fire, place logs at the rear of the fireplace on an adequate supporting grate.
• Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended. Extinguish the fire before going to bed or leaving the house.
• Allow ashes to cool before disposing of them. Place ashes in a tightly covered metal container and keep the ash container at least 10 feet away from your home and any other nearby buildings. Never empty the ash directly into a trash can. Douse and saturate the ashes with water.
To protect the exterior of your home, always stack firewood outdoors at least 30 feet away from your home; keep the roof clear of leaves, pine needles and other debris; cover the chimney with a mesh screen spark arrester and remove branches hanging above the chimney, flues or vents.
To further protect the interior, install smoke alarms on every level of your home and inside and outside of sleeping areas; test them monthly and change the batteries at least once a year and consider installing the new long life smoke alarms. Provide proper venting systems for all heating equipment and extend all vent pipes at least three feet above the roof.
Chief Mounts encourages everyone to not hesitate to contact their local fire department if they discover a problem that could lead to a fire and require assistance.

Things I liked:its been a year and 7 days since i got it and its survived hell and then some

What others should know:if you want a base rifle that will hold up, and keep you going... this guns it.
Things I liked:it shoots nice and it didnt need much hop up adjustment out of the box
Things I would have changed:The handguard where the battery goes the spring for the delta ring is very hard to get off but its starting to be easier as i do it more
What others should know:Get a butterfly battrey it fits good with the gun and you only have to take on side of the handguard off
Things I liked:Great RoF, love the sight, mag release, easy to adjust hop up, easily hit targets at 100 ft
Things I would have changed:Sometimes on semi it puts the safety on. but if you switch it to auto then back it fires just fine.
What others should know:I find the best way to open the hand guard for the battery is to wedge a screwdriver in it(This definitely takes off paint, but its the only way you can do it yourself).

"I'm done." Those were the words that Chris Leben uttered as he sat on his stool at the end of Round 1 of his fight against Uriah Hall at UFC 168. Shortly after Leben uttered that phrase, referee Steve Mazzagatti stepped in and waved off the fight, giving the TKO win to Hall at the five minute mark of the first stanza.
The loss was Leben's fourth consecutive defeat in the UFC, dropping his overall record to 22-11, and leaving many to wonder if we would (or should) ever see him step foot in the Octagon again.
UFC president Dana White commented on the fight at the post-fight press conference, saying, "Chris is a tough guy, and I know how bad he wanted to come back and how bad he wanted to fight. It was a perfect fight for him against Uriah. You know how tough Chris is, and for Chris to quit on the stool, he was hurt."
Leben has been part of the UFC since appearing on the first season of The Ultimate Fighter. Leben's bout against Hall was his 22nd appearance inside the Octagon. The loss puts Leben's UFC record at 12-10.
Heading into the fight, the talk was that the loser of the fight most likely faced release from the UFC. White addressed that situation as well as the potential for Leben to hang up his gloves of his own accord by saying, "Well, the guy's not making a decision right there on the spot, and I don't think that there's ever a situation where, you look at it before the fight happens, and you say, yeah, these guys both need to win this fight,' but you never know what's going to happen in a fight. The fight could be a knock down, drag them out war that at the end of the day you have so much respect for both guys you wouldn't want to cut either guy. So I don't really look at it that way. I wait and see what happens."
As for Leben, he left the Octagon before Bruce Buffer read the official decision declaring Hall the victor. He did tweet the following after the fight:
Hours after the fight card had come to an end, Leben gave an indication of the direction he was leaning when he tweeted:Chris Leben ✔ @cripplerufc
Way to go @UriahHallMMA. Next generation of this sport:real athletes. Days of winning on toughness alone are over. Good job buddy
10:38 PM - 28 Dec 2013

text: MAC All Out Gorgeous Mineralize Rich Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.14 oz.) is described as a "deep warm red." It's a berry-red with a soft, luminous sheen. When I swatched it, I did not get strong warm tones, and it even looked a bit cool-toned to me; I would argue it is closer to neutral but may lean cooler/warmer depending on your skin tone and what it is paired with. MAC Lush Life is darker, less red, and more berry–I think that the two are similar enough that if you had one, you wouldn't need the other unless you wore this shade a lot and could appreciate the nuances between the two. Guerlain Orgueil is richer and deeper. Sally Hansen Garnet is similar but a touch cooler-toned. MAC Hang Up is a bit darker.

We really liked unfor and we liked the support he gave the forum but we can't bite our tongues any longer. It does not matter who it is, we can not allow you all to be blatantly lied to by a kid seeking attention. The truth is what matters first and foremost. When the claims were made and the slip was posted, we contacted Garrett regarding their "pro" driver doing runs with this car as well as their involvement. The e-mails speak for themselves:
As you can see, Garrett has no ties to this project and no Garrett driver drove this car. As a matter of fact, when the "driver" supposedly posted it was the same IP as unfor. This was not mentioned until he was called on it and said the driver was at his house. Well, Garrett has no drivers in Denver and let's be real, who has pro drivers sitting at their personal computers posting on forums at a user's leisure?
We can't allow claims to be me about Garrett that are unsubstantiated. They have nothing to do with this car and their name should not be dragged through the mud because someone wants to look cool to others on a forum. They are a professional company and as stated did not want to get involved in the posting but were concerned about their name being used. Garrett was not involved with this car and what this poster tried to pull should not reflect on Garrett in any way. Simply unfortunate their name was attached to this.
If one needs more proof, the slip was claimed as being from MIR. Well, even the laziest person can check on Google to see that MIR slips do not look like what he posted. This is what a slip from MIR looks like:
Obviously not a coincidence the slip is cut off to not show where it was stolen from. Also not a coincidence he removed it right after posting it so no one would catch on. Well, too late, as users took screenshots.
The dynos are stolen/fake as well. One of the dynos posted was simply photoshopped from this dyno:http://forums.evans-tuning.com/viewtopic.php?t=2931
Unfor's dyno:
The original:
Clearly a poor photoshop to try to hide the evidence. This dyno he might have created himself:
Wherever it came from, it clearly isn't legitimate. If that isn't enough proof, how about this:
How was the car running 10 second passes when it wasn't even running? If you want to BS a time, don't start with a record nobody has gotten anywhere near. Just sloppy work overall but many bought into it.
We are sorry to burst this bubble but we had to. We know this will likely mean unfor will never post here again. It also means any single turbo info that is legitimate from him will go to our competition and we will have to live with that. The correct information simply outweighs this fairy tale. That is not to say the car does not exist and that the single turbo is not being done. We honestly hope the car is completed and he is happy. We wish him the absolute best. We understand these projects are tough and don't always go as planned. Just don't bullshit us. He's a kid, he made a mistake, but anything he says or has said simply can not be trusted.
