Journal Journal: If You're Happy and You Know It, Bomb Iraq 1
If You're Happy and You Know It, Bomb Iraq
by John Robbins
(to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands"
If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq.
If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq.
If the terrorists are frisky,
Pakistan is looking shifty,
North Korea is too risky,
Bomb Iraq.
If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq.
If we think somebody dissed us, bomb Iraq.
So to hell with the inspections,
Let's look tough for the elections,
Close your mind and take directions,
Bomb Iraq.
It's "pre-emptive non-aggression," bomb Iraq.
Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq.
They've got weapons we can't see,
And that's proof enough for me,
If they're not there, they must be,
Bomb Iraq.
If you never were elected, bomb Iraq.
If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq.
If you think Saddam's gone mad
With the weapons that he had,
And he tried to kill your dad,
Bomb Iraq.
Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq.
For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq.
Disagree? We'll call it treason,
Let's make war not love this season,
Even if we have no reason,
Bomb Iraq.

I'd love the Overboard Pro Sport for iPhone. Would be great for all the outdoor events this summer and sudden downpours! Just bought emergency covers for my DSLR.
TiPb TV 20: Bond boat bash [giveaway]
We put the original Aquapac and Overboard cases for iPhone 4 through the car wash and into the deep end, so what could we do with Aquapac for iPad 2 and the new Overboard Pro Sport for iPhone? Well, Rene and I had some Amazing Case-style ideas. However, putting the waterproof Acquapac for iPad and Overboard for iPhone through the dishwasher just didn't sound cool. You know what's cool? Putting them head to head in a Bond boat bash!
Do we expect the cases to leak? No, TiPb TV viewers, we expect them to die!
Giveaway: We're giving away one of each case! To enter, just leave a comment below telling us which of these two cases you prefer, Overboard Pro Sport for iPhone or Aquapac for iPad 2, and where you'd like to use them -- beach, bath, shower, hot tub, high speed boat chase with a super hot Bond girl (or guy!)!
(Oh, and telling us what you think about the show can't hurt!)
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

TiPb TV 20: Bond boat bash [giveaway]
I'd love the Overboard Pro Sport for iPhone for when I go to Punta Cana. I love to go snorkeling.
Overboard Pro Sport for iPhone for when I have to dredge the rivers!
I would probably want the Aquapac for the iPad 2 because, I honestly probably spend more time in the water then I do out of it. I would use it by the pool, at the lake house, probably even in the shower haha.
Best TiPB TV yet! Just passes the iPad sledding one by a bit.
I would like the Overboard for iPhone because I go swimming with my 7 year old cousin and would love to be able to film to show to my family! Maybe even do some good jumps and dives! :D
i love how the iphone camera still takes vodeo very good on the overboard pro
at least for what i've seen on videos unlike the aquapac
i would use it to be able to have my iphone out at the pool,
my girlfriend is always trying to push me into the pool even if i have my iphone out
so i would use to throw her into the pool and still know that my iphone is safe :)
love your videos great job rene and georgia
and another question how do i post something while logged in to the forums?
for some reason i can't find a way to do it so i just post it as a guest :/
Overboard Pro for my Iphone4 would save my life since I'm bout to start lifeguard training at my college in the fall. Help a broke college student out
I'd like the overboard sport plus. Because id rather take my iPhone up to the lake than my big ol' iPad. Haha
The overboard pro sport without a doubt! Comment about your show? What words do you use to describe PURRfection!
case for the iPad 2, because who doesn't want to be checking their twitter timeline while in the shower?...
Overboard Pro Sport please! I'm always at the beach skimboarding, surfing, boggie boarding, etc. I also sail a lot too. And I have a pool. So I'm always around water. My iPhones don't get along with water too good either. My first iPhone (iPhone 3G) was in my pocket while when I got pushed in the pool. My 3GS, which was in a plastic bag, somehow got waterlogged when my friend threw his not completely sealed water in the same bag as my phone. Now I have a 4. This case would help protect my iPhone 4 from the doom that is it's fate.
I would want the Aquapac for iPad 2, because I want to listen to iPad Live, iPhone Live and Zen and Tech in my tub...
I'd like the Aquapac so I could watch Netflix in the hot tub. Great Show!!
Overboard Pro Sport please so I can play words with friends in the pool!
OMG great I could really use one of these... then my device will never leave my grip xD Since I have a ipod touch I'd want the iphone overboard case, and I take it everywhere I could possibly go, even into the shower :D
I would really like the Overboard Pro, because we go hiking a lot and I like to take my iPhone 4 for pictures, but fear it getting wet by the river and falls.
This would come in handy!!!
I like the Myth Busters like style of this video. I would also like that is another tipb tv please up loaded more videos soon!
the overboard pro case seems way more functional to me especially since i dont own an ipad
Love the aquapac! Since first seeing them I've wanted one for fishing to protect my iPad 2. I use it to mark fishing locations on the water
i want the boat lol
I want the aqua pac for iPad that would be awesome
aquapac for ipad...i would use it while at the beach in the ocean boogie boarding.
Just like those waterproof bags for floating down the Rhine!!!!!
It's my first go to see to this website, and I am actually astonished to see such a pleasant feature YouTube video posted here.
Hi Rich we love the Portabote. We haven't used it that much lately as we've had to get the outboard serviced but just folding it up and stowing it on deck keeps me happy!

Six Brand New Figures Bring a Variety of Spawns to Life
Friday, September 08, 2006
Next spring, the long-running Spawn series of action figures returns to its hyper-detailed roots with Spawn Series 31: Other Worlds. This new series will focus on a number of different Hellspawn-ed characters from various Spawn-related comic book titles both old and new.
Selected from a very long list of action figure requests pulled from our Toys message board (located right here on Spawn.com), McFarlane Toys is proud to announce the latest Spawn action figure lineup (along with brief details about what you can expect from each figure).
NECRO COP -- The Necro Cop appeared in the Spawn: Simony one-shot, and has been a favorite among fans and collectors since the story's debut.
Created using a fusion of cybernetics and the very fabric that makes up Spawn's cape, the Necro Cop was constructed by human hands, and posed a very real threat to Spawn if it was given the time to learn how to control its vast array of Hellspawned powers.
SPAWN 11 -- This all-new Spawn action figure is based on Al Simmons' appearance in the core Spawn comic book. Whether that look will be centered on his current costume or a more traditional version has yet to be revealed.
SPAWN THE MARAUDER -- Based on the title character from the upcoming Spawn: Godslayer one-shot comic book.
A mighty conqueror who has cut a violent swath through the ranks of the Old Gods. The Marauder, known by many as the Godslayer, has now set his sights on the kingdom of Endra-La, where he seeks to continue his bloody conquest.
GODDESS LLYRA -- Also based on the soon-to-be-released Spawn: Godslayer comic book.
The Goddess Llyra stands as the protector of the island kingdom of Endra-La. She stands as the last, best defense against the coming of the Godslayer, Spawn the Marauder.
LORD COVENANT -- Based on the fan-favorite character from the Spawn: The Dark Ages comic book.
NIGHTMARE SPAWN -- This terrifying vision is based on Spawn's appearance in fan-favorite Hellspawn comic book series and captures Al Simmons at his most demonic.
More information on this lineup will be made available as we continue to move forward with development. Stay tuned to Spawn.com for all of your action figure updates.
Spawn 31 action figures are scheduled for release early 2007.

GOP hits Shumlin for single-payer funding delayBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | February 01,2013MONTPELIER House and Senate Republicans have accused Gov. Peter Shumlin of violating state law by failing to tell Vermonters how he plans to pay for single-payer health care.
Legislation that the Democratic governor signed in 2009 included a provision calling for the recommendation of a single-payer financing mechanism by Jan. 15 of this year. Administration officials say the mandate was rendered unnecessary by a shifting federal landscape that postponed for at least three years any hope of implementing the publicly financed system.
Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning, however, said Vermonters are looking for answers, not excuses.
Businesses need to have the information necessary to make important decisions for themselves and their employees, Benning, a Caledonia County Republican, said during a Statehouse news conference Thursday. We need to have a clear understanding of what the game plan is, and at present we dont have that game plan.
Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding dismissed the criticism as a stunt. The administration last week unveiled a highly anticipated report on single-payer; Spaulding said the administration had explained to lawmakers in advance that it would not include any specific recommendations for financing. He said reasonable people agree that it makes no sense to design a financing system now for a program that wont begin until 2017.
These are people who want to undermine the effort to move to a single-payer system and are looking for any opportunity they can get to confuse people and erode support, Spaulding said. Issuing a specific plan at this stage of the game would not in any way help Vermonters understand what a new system would look like or what the options are to pay for it.
Jeff Wennberg, executive director of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom, said Vermonters cant begin to understand what the new system would mean for them until the administration discloses what tax it would use to finance the program.
The report issued last week put a $1.6 billion price tag on the portion of the single-payer plan that would need to be publicly financed. Wennberg, whose organizations mission is to end the push for single-payer, said residents and businesses cant evaluate the plan until they know how much of that bill theyre on the hook for.
There is no analysis of the impacts on anyone, Wennberg said. Theres nothing remotely resembling a proposal or set of proposals, or what taxes would be necessary or needed to raise this money.
While the lack of a financing plan is of chief concern to Wennberg, he said it isnt the only area where the administration has fallen short. The single-payer law passed in 2009 also called for recommendations on how to deal with issues of coverage for nonresidents living in Vermont, or for residents living out of state.
It also directed the administration to study issues around recruitment and retention of the health care workforce. In all, Wennberg said, the administration failed to deliver on at least 15 statutory directives.
Of particular concern, he said, was the administrations failure to comply with the portion of the law that required it to determine the potential impact of various financing sources on Vermont businesses and on the states economy and economic climate.
The administration had as recently as last summer looked poised to deliver that analysis. When the administration in July inked a $300,000 contract with the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the deal called for not only developing a financing plan but performing an analysis of the interaction of new provisions with Vermonts current revenue structure, including income, property and sales tax, and recommend(ing) possible complementary reforms to the overall tax code.
The administrations director of health care reform, Robin Lunge, said at the time that the contract with the university would provide a deep dive that would dig into the pros and cons of financing options.
We need an analysis of the macroeconomic impacts, so we know that if we change financing in one way, we have a sense of how that flows out into the states economy, Lunge said in July.
Asked why the report failed to include items stipulated in a contract signed six months ago, Spaulding said that it didnt seem like the right time to examine deeply the cause-and-effect of various financing schemes, be it taxes on payroll, income, sales or anything else.
It wouldnt have been helpful now for Vermonters to issue a specific financing plan, he said.
Asked whether the contract had been amended since it was signed in July, Spaulding said it had. He said he was unsure whether the revisions included eliminating the requirement to analyze the macroeconomic impacts of various single-payer funding streams.
In the face of Democrats near super-majority in Montpelier, the Republicans can take no legislative action over the lack of a funding plan. Wennbergs group, however, has filed a broad public records request seeking all communication and correspondence between the state and the University of Massachusetts.

The lights are on
Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
This site is one of the worst. Sure it looks pretty until you actually want to do something. It is not user friendly and is too cluttered. It shouldn't be so hard to look at your account or try and contact customer service. Also, I've had to change my password every time I try to log on because it can't seem to remember. Funny enough every time I do it, its always the same password. Since switching to the digital magazine a few months ago, I haven't been able to access them at all. It doesn't matter if I'm on a pc or a mac or what browser I'm using. It creates a pop out window that goes grey and says "loading asset libraries" and never loads. I disable all firewalls which i don't like doing and it still doesn't work. I feel like I was duped by the store employees since digital was supposed to be better. I want physical issues back but there doesn't seem to be an option to switch. At this point, i don't want "help" with getting the digital copies to work, I just want my money back.
I am part of the team that runs GI.com. We apologize that you are running into these issues. We are hard at work trying to resolve the login issue.
Until the permanent fix is in place, we have a temporary workaround -
1. delete your gameinformer.com cookie (or all cookies).
2. log-in again.
Thanks for your interest in GI.com. We hope to have this resolved as quickly as possible.
Hey! Trying to access the magazine from my link, I just get a popup that says "Checking" that blinks out and in over and over.
Mine keeps blinking too...I'm starting to regret switching over to digital....
we just fixed this problem. Please try again and let us know if it works or doesn't.
@combobaby, I hear ya. All I can say is that we are working hard to make the user experience as good as possible. If you are still experiencing problems viewing the digital edition, please send me a private message about it if you have time.
Kew! Seems to be OK. Thanks!
Woohoo! The logon issue seems to have gone away, still getting the grey screen with te "loading asset libraries..." message :(
I am using google chrome if thats a difference and i had the same error for a sec all i did to resolve this is clear the cookies from my browser and then reloaded the page. after that is was fine. Ps good job GI I love your suppoort and the website is great to me.(i dont know whats wrong with this guy's opinion)
I also can't get past the "loading asset libraries" even after clearing my cookies and logging out and back in.
I was reading the new issue on line today. Turned the computer off, came back later and got the 'loading asset libraries' message in every browser. Cleared cookies in all of them and still can't get it back
Just wanted to let you guys know that the twitch tv site for your livestream is really hard to watch. I get about a 20 second snippet and then it needs to load and catch up. I love the videos on the GI site but I have never had a good experience using Twitch.tv. I realize they may be a partner or sponsor with the magazine but it would really help if you could upload them onto Youtube, or some other site that doesn't have these issues. Thank you so much for providing hours of entertainment to me for free and I honestly tout the GI praises pretty loudly.

Last year, Rock the Bowl raised $2,000 – enough for 8,000 meals. Organizers are hoping to surpass that amount this year.
"Fighting hunger requires a partnership between the charitable, private, and public sectors. We are very grateful to Interrupt Marketing for their fun event to help to feed hungry families during the holidays," said James M. Caldwell, president and CEO of the food bank. "We all have a vested interest in working together to ensure that our neighbors and friends in need have nutrition assistance programs available to help them. Our member agencies see first-hand the impact hunger has on food insecure families."
Secor Lanes is located at 5520 Secor Road. If you can't make it to the event but would like to donate, visit this website or mail a check to Interrupt at 6622 Maplewood Ave., Sylvania, OH, 43560.

CONCORD, N.C. – The upcoming Michigan Kart Supply RLV Gold Cup Nationals at JET Karting, formerly Michiana Raceway Park, in South Bend, Ind., will feature an all-new Friday evening racing format that is primed to be the best, most prestigious awards package at a single event in the Gold Cup's history.
After Friday practice, three Pro Gas Animal races will run, headlined by a big 20-lap Senior Animal Money Race supported by a $2,500 purse to Pro Gas entrants plus 75 percent payback of entry fees to methanol and Pro Gas racers.
Two 10-lap "Shootouts" will flank the Senior Animal Money Race. Sportsman Pro Gas Animal 10-lap Shootout and Junior Pro Gas Animal 10-lap Shootout will run off shortly following the conclusion of practice. The top-five finishers in each race will receive trophies and all participants will receive gift certificates redeemable at on-site part vendors.
But that's not all.
Briggs & Stratton Racing has posted a brand-new stock Animal engine to the winner of each race. The new engine will be on-site, available for pickup at the racetrack.
Friday evening's action will conclude with the best Gold Cup Money Race in its five-year history.
A cool $2,500 has been added to the purse for entrants running the Pro Gas Animal engine and WKA has developed a unique formula on payout.
For Pro Gas Senior Money Race entrants, the top-10 payout will be as follows.
• 1st – New Briggs Animal engine
• 2nd - $100
• 3rd - $200
• 4th - $300
• 5th - $400
• 6th - $500
• 7th - $400
• 8th - $300
• 9th - $200
• 10th - $100
• Fast lap time of race – complete Pro Gas exhaust system
The out-of-the-box payout structure is designed to award each of the top-10 Pro Gas finishers, whether it's a new engine, $500 or $100.
A certain amount of strategy surely will come into play for many racers. With the top prize winning the new Animal, racers with an inside shot at the win will be gunning for the new Animal, however, racers aware their kart may not be capable or fast enough to run up front may look to hang around the fourth- through seventh-place range, where the payout is greatest.
If nothing else, the Money Race will be one of the most interesting events to watch in quite some time at a Gold Cup, and officials believe the format will add a great amount of excitement for racers, fans and team members.
Teams with the traditional methanol Animal-powered engines are encouraged to run this race. While the $2,500 goes to Pro Gas entrants, every entry will count toward the 75 percent purse payback. With the methanol engines quicker than Pro Gas, these drivers will have the advantage on winning the largest cuts of the 75 percent.
JET Karting Gold Cup Senior Money Race guidelines are as follows:
• Age 15 and up
• Methanol and Pro Gas engines allowed
• Minimum weight (methanol and Pro Gas): 360 pounds
• 75% payback based on ALL entries
• $2,500 ADDITIONAL PURSE for Pro Gas engine karts ONLY
• Examples: First Pro Gas engine across line wins Briggs Animal engine, second Pro Gas engine across line gets 2nd-place money, etc. If methanol engine wins, he/she gets best cut of 75 percent payback. If methanol engine finishes fifth overall, he/she gets fifth-place cut of 75 percent payback.
• Regular post-race technical inspection applies
• Must enter a Saturday or Sunday points class in addition to Money Race. Cannot run Money Race and go home.

Missing weight thou art?
Well, there could be one realistic MMORPG. I do doubt a little if OP would like to play it.
No heavy armor and that armor corrodes after rain/walking through water and your toon has no idea about how to remove corrosion. You can't carry more that 3 weapons at one time (let us say, sword in one hand, bow and arrows on the back and dagger by the belt). If you wear heavy armor and have 3 great weapons, you move 1 meter per day - great speed, great realism. And if you got weapon number 4, you are in trouble since you have nothng to carry it in. Worse with armor: if you found Great Armor of Owning, you have to undress and take on new armor.
If you have simple clothes, they will break from any walking in the forest and you will have hard time by sewing them with needle (it is supposed you work more with your sword than with your needle). Boots will break sooner than everything, so in the middle of the battle they will just ruin.
Oh yes, no stuff enchantement, because no such thing in reality.
No level progression, no uber-strong characters (just because in real life we can't choose what we want on our birthday - +20 to dexterity or +50 to intellect). No experience from killing monster, because if you kill rat you only know how to kill rat, not how to kill Green Goblin of Hell.
Character would became dirty and stinky one day, just because he walked too long in his heavy armor under the sun and therefore has to take a bath leaving all stuff on the shore. Did I mention character would run into excrements of other people/wildlife (and he would have to leave those too: imagine person who eats and does not go to toilet). Character would not know how to eat certain food and if that food is edible.
Any serious wound is deadly: if you are hit to the leg, you may remove arrow or bandage it, but your leg may not recover, so your uber-strong super-levelled Tank is almost useless. To make things worse, enemy can fire to your eye leaving you (if alive) useless for anything.
And if toon is Human (I'm not sure about fantasy races) he would have a need of sexual relations from certain age. And reaching certain age he would just die out of age.
Would OP play game with such immersion and realism?

Well, television (drama or sport) has always been a medium where you are completely passive as a viewer and the characters even continue their storylines whether or not you watch. There is likely room for a genre of fantasy entertainment that offers rich simulations, but limited interaction - where you are passively watching the character as much as you are playing it. I have to admit I might even enjoy it.

During the first few weeks of WoW was when I realized how much the "hassles" are needed in games. I was trying to find a group to kill some elite ogres and I joined this kid. We proceeded to kill the first few at the edge. Next thing I know the kid runs headlong into a pack of them killing us both. Run back and he does it again. Meaningless death zerg fest...bleh. Why play a game with an intention of dieing? Single player games if you die you end up way back at some save point (if the game even has saves). As I said before, the "hassles" aren't to cause boredom, they are there to inspire you to avoid them.
Now weight/inventory systems might not be fun, but as a crafter I do appreciate when I get a bigger bag or a higher weight reduction bag. As for Monks, they weren't allowed pretty much any weight above their weapon and armor (even money had weight) making living as a monk a very different experience. You learned to depend on friends to loot for you. Hassle to some, creative gaming to me.

Remember when:
1) Kiteing aka moving while casting skills: was considered a bug. And you could get banned if you exploited it.
2) Skill animation frame skips: see above
3) WASD (or arrow keys, if you prefer) was actually used to move your toon from point a to point b. Auto run was putting something on the key while you ran to the bathroom. XD
4) Auto retaliate was something only botters used?
Why these are bad:
1) Allows soloing of mobs that you shouldn't be able to solo at that level.
2) See above, also enables you to beat player type that you shouldn't be able to in normal circumstances in pvp. ie: cleric vs tank
3) Yes auto run sure is convienient, it also gets you into more trouble. Actually moving the toon on your own means you can avoid mobs and mob bosses that appear in your path. Autorun takes you by the closest path from a-->b, regardless if world boss that will chase you from here to eternity is on that path or not.
4) Auto retaliate makes it so that everyone can bot. Sure, it does make it much easier to grind for levels or grind for drop x. But if everyone is botting, then who is playing?
End result:
MMOs are dead, MSO (Massive Solo Online) is the new king. Long Live the King!
edit: One the RPG side of things, that is something I do not miss. Too many people seem to believe that "m'lord/m'lady", "thee/thou", etc ad nauseum was how everyone spoke. No, that was formal speak. Used by nobility or when speaking to nobility. Not used by common folk, thus unless your toon is nobility (lol) you aren't a lord/lady. I did make exceptions for Guild leaders, but that was it. Normal guild members are regular joes, and normal joes did not use formal speak with each other unless they were parodying the local lord/lady.

Inventory mechanics have depth because they force a tradeoff decision of when to go to town to deal with your inventory. It's very little depth, but it's not nothing.
Weight vs. Inventory Slots both involve about the same depth (not a lot), but one requires more effort (math in a weight system.) That's the solitary reason weight systems are rare. Same depth, but with more tedium involved.
Any of the things you list will be described as hassles if there isn't sufficient depth associated with each task (although "guild mates" aren't really an activity.) Travel is definitely a hassle in many games, because there's very little (but not zero) depth to avoiding mobs on the way to your destination (and the little depth which exists doesn't remain deep for very long.)
Leveling typically involves a fair amount of depth, because it usually involves repeatedly engaging in the game's deepest gameplay (combat). If the gameplay isn't deep enough then the entire game is likely to be considered boring because that was supposed to be the game's deepest feature.
Your example of taking a break from games because they have a poor effort-to-depth ratio is exactly what any player does...that's precisely why it's a bad idea to implement mechanics which can be called "hassles".

Once again, funny you would mention it, I've been following perpetuum on fb for a few months now.
I really don't care if people play MMOFPS, or they just want a themepark, or a puzzle...or whatever. I just don't like it when those players bleed over into oldschool games and complain because its to hard. I stop'd playing FFXI because it wen't easy mode..
I just want a true RPG, (fingers crossed for Archeage)

I would argue, what in a MMO isn't a hassle?
Why start at level 1 and have to spend 3 days to get to cap? why not start at max level? isn't starting at level 1 just a "artificial limit"?
Why have more then 1 set of gear for each class? I mean why have gear that "isn't as good"? isn't it just a hassle?
I don't get this "hassle" argument, Everything in a MMO is built as a time sink, leveling, class design, inventories, gear, auction houses, traveling, cooldowns
so why are you playing a mmo?

having long travel times, so you hired mages to tele you. added a little bit of depth
having lots of crafting including woodworking added a little bit of depth
taking that woodworking and making furniture, which you could put in your home, added a little bit of depth
having that furniture effect your stats added a little bit of depth
having "mount" races added a little bit of depth
having armor that only fit a few classes added depth
and before you know it... you have one of the best MMO's of all time.

A deep game will last years.
A shallow one (one focused on the mechanics people are asking for in this thread) dies quickly because it's too easily mastered.
I do buy 3+ games per month, but that's because I'm not shackled to the MMORPG genre, love games, and work in the industry (so I need to keep up with stuff.) But out of all the games I buy, the ones I stick with are the deepest and most elegant designs (WOW, TF2, LoL, Civ4, Tribes, and surprisingly I'm liking SMNC longer than I expected to.)

I can think of some examples of thinking and planning skills needed in an older MMO that are no longer required for anything that has released recently: in AO, twinking a ridiculously high Quality Level item on a character with sub-optimal attributes for donning it at a low level. Figuring out which buffs, when, what tweeking items, what implants you had to use to boost yourself into them was a massive minigame into itself and required quite often amazing feats of juggling the combination of those three things at just the right time.
I should specify, for those who never played it, each set of buffs came from a different character profession, so you had to have at least one of each of those three professions on and willing to help you out.
The twinking minigame alone would have me planning for three days sometimes. I actually liked it since it was a break from leveling. Pre-SL, I got my Solitus engineer into her QL200 slayerbot around level 90 and I remember the oo's and aa's the players around me made when they saw me appear with him running behind me. Nowadays, I think a lot of people who never tried it would get annoyed with it in seconds.
I have done quite a bit of number crunching in some games as well as planning this and that: DAoC and the spellcrafted templates or how I was going to set up my realm abilities, playing with ship mods in EVE, organizing harvesters, blueprints and calculating a business model for my crafters in SWG, just to name a few. I haven't done any planning like that in ages and I miss that.

Same as going to the toilet. Sleeping (without fast-forward) and stuff like that. Games are not supposed to be realistic.

Randy better think long and hard before signing that Bellator contract.
Randy better think long and hard before signing that Bellator contract.
Randy Couture Signs Partnership with Spike, Will Coach on New Bellator Reality Series | MMAWeekly.com
Randy Couture has signed a new deal to keep him involved in mixed martial arts, but what may or may not come as a surprise, is the company he signed the deal with.
Spike TV officials on Tuesday morning sent out a release confirming a new partnership between the network and the former UFC champion, although they didn't yet announce the scope of the partnership.
The crux of the deal, however, is Couture's involvement as a coach on the upcoming Bellator MMA reality series that begins filming in February.
The partnership, according to a report by Sports Illustrated and confirmed by MMAWeekly.com sources, is a multi-year agreement that involves multiple projects. The Bellator coaching stint is just the launching pad.
Seeing as how Spike TV and Bellator MMA are properties under the Viacom umbrella, Couture's involvement will likely heavily revolve around Bellator, but may include many other opportunities.
Viacom is a multi-billion-dollar media company that includes BET Networks, MTV Networks, and Paramount Pictures, among other interests.
MMAWeekly.com's sources said Couture's position as one of the first two coaches on Bellator's new reality series on Spike TV is set, and further indicated that his opposing coach is likely to be another pioneering figure in mixed martial arts.
Official details of Couture's new partnership with Spike will be revealed on Tuesday, Feb. 5, during a media conference call.
UFC president Dana White, when asked about the possibility of his company being a monopoly, along with citing a Federal investigation that determined it is not, has often noted that part of Bellator's ownership includes Viacom, and that Viacom is sitting on billions of dollars that the UFC isn't.
It now seems that Viacom is ready to start utilizing some of that money and it's position in the entertainment industry to build Bellator into a viable competitor.Can't wait to find out who it is.MMAWeekly.com's sources said Couture's position as one of the first two coaches on Bellator's new reality series on Spike TV is set, and further indicated that his opposing coach is likely to be another pioneering figure in mixed martial arts.
Oh wait, I just figured out who it's gonna be--Steven Seagal. Bam!!!
Seagal and Couture started beefing in December, same time when the deal was signed:
I like this move. Can't wait to find out who will coach against him. Love me some Bellator!
The key difference between Viacom and every other MMA org. is that Viacom was working very closely with the UFC for many years. We may actually have 2 major orgs. within the next decade.
Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but isn't it suggesting that Randy signed with Spike and that there's potentially more in that contract than just the Bellator series?
The way I see it, Randy needs media exposure as he's (seemingly) seriously pursuing his Hollywood career. Right now, the UFC isn't positioned to expand his public image, so Spike is a better fit. Maybe I'm a jerk, but that doesn't seem disloyal at all to me.
WTF Hosers.
Randy doesn't owe the UFC anything at this point, he helped build the UFC to where it is and was reportedly well paid for that. Dana can complain that he's paid Randy x millions of dollars over the years but he received his money's worth from Couture just by beating the most unmarketable heavyweight champion of the modern era when he smoked Sylvia.
This is a situation that is good for everybody except maybe the UFC. Randy gets a gig that he wants to do that is paying him what he feels is worth the job. We as fans get a coach on Bellator that is smart and entertaining. The fighters he will be training certainly get a beacon of knowledge and wisdom to draw from. And finally the sport gets an ambassador that is well spoken and well received outside of MMA media.
Hating on Anderson Silva before it was the cool thing to do.
The idea of a "true number one contender" is the stupidiest MMA idea to be perpetuated by fans and media, EVER.
HATES the new MMANEWS forum. Bring back the dark background.

Today I decided to switch gears as I want to talk about a problem many of moms deal with but don't like talking about. What's that? Feeling over-weight. I say feeling over-weight, because generally speaking there's a lot of that are not over-weight yet still feel like we are. It's hard not to I suppose, but there's definitely a mental component to it.
Unfortunately losing weight just isn't easy when you're a mom, especially when you have little ones. Time to work out? Keep dreaming. Time to make healthy nutritious meals? Maybe for the kids, not always for you. While these are some of the best and most effective ways to accomplish weight loss goals (exercise + healthy eating) they are also some of the hardest. If you have the time and energy I highly recommend that be where you start. If you don't, we must look towards an easier solution: Enter supplements/products and the scams that follow. Now a days there is a magic pill for everything, weight loss being one of the more popular targets.
Sorting through all the crap.. this isn't easy. EVERYTHING claims to work wonders, a lot even have user reviews to back them up – the question is how do you know what to trust? One of my "secret" places that really isn't so secret is Amazon. Unlike most retailers, they don't seem to hide the negative reviews, instead you get a good mix of both. The user reviews provided here are incredibly helpful in making a purchasing decision. This is what led me to try a product called Synedrex. I wanted something stronger and shown to be effective, but not something that had a ton of negative side effects. Synedrex seemed to balance these needs well. Some users reported side effects like anxiety, but this is mostly because it contains a lot of stimulants. Overall it was received well and shown to be effective. Since buying it I have to say, it does make you feel great! Tons of energy and focus. I just started but can already tell my energy is up and appetite down – exactly what I need to do. If you've ever considered trying a product, give Synedrex a go and see what you think.
I linked to the product above from explicit supplements as they seemed to be the best price and that's where I got mine, though Amazon will work too. Good luck!

In each issue of WebMD the Magazine, our experts answer your questions about skin care, beauty, makeup, hair care, and more. In our September 2011 issue, Lisa Basalla Mwaikambo, 30, an international public health professional in Durham, N.C., asked whether over-the-counter peels and masks actually work. We passed the question on to Rachel Herschenfield, MD, with Dermatology Partners, Inc in Wellesley, Mass., as well as Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, MD, PhD, an assistant clinical professor at Yale University. Here's what they had to say:
Q. Are at-home masks and peels really effective? What can they do for my skin?
Dr. Herschenfeld's top picks:
These at-home treatments can be a great addition to any skin care regimen.
Peels, which contain the same ingredients as dermatologists' peels but in lower concentrations, gently remove the outermost layer of your skin, producing a smoother texture and sometimes helping even out pigmentation, fade fine lines, or clean out pores. Masks can provide intensive moisture, absorb excess oil, or deliver antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or acne-fighting treatments to the skin.
Acne-prone skin can benefit from peels containing salicylic acid; sensitive skin may do better with less irritating lactic acid peels or mild physical peels. Many products contain combinations of these active ingredients.
A good, at-home peel for sensitive skin is Olay Regenerist Microdermabrasion & Peel System ($24.99), made with lactic acid. Another winner: philosophy the microdelivery peel ($65) provides a gentle physical exfoliation combined with lactic acid and is great for sensitive or dry skin.
A good hydrating mask is the Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Masque ($45), which is infused with cucumber, papaya, and pineapple enzymes to calm and soften skin. For acne-prone skin, Murad Acne Clarifying Mask ($37) contains sulfur to treat acne and clay to absorb excess oil.
Alexiades-Armenakas' top picks:
The biggest difference between masks and peels and products such as cleansers is the duration of application. Cleansers are quick-on/quick-off, while masks and peels are left on for a specific length of time, increasing the amount of active ingredients that penetrates the skin.
With peels, the degree to which the bonds between dead skin cells break apart and disappear is determined in part by how long you allow the acids to work. Due to the way peels work, it's best to use them sparingly. I find the biggest mistake women make is applying peels daily, which makes the skin become over-stressed. Peels can contribute to sun sensitivity, too.
The FDA has standards for the percentages of active ingredients in peels and masks allowed in over-the-counter products. For example, glycolic acid and salicylic acid (often found in peels) are limited to 10% and 2%, respectively. Be wary of masks or peels with higher percentages, as these should not be dispensed without a doctor's supervision.
The Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask ($6.49), containing acne-clearing benzoyl peroxide and clay to decrease oiliness, can be used as a face wash or a mask. For acne-prone skin, I recommend DDF Sulfur Therapeutic Mask ($38), which is infused with sulfur and purified clay to absorb oil and clear pores.
As for at-home peels, Avon Anew Clinical Advanced Retexturizing Peel ($25) blends glycolic acid with soothing plant extracts such as algae, pineapple, and cucumber to gently exfoliate dull surface skin. Boots No7 Advanced Renewal Anti-Aging Glycolic Peel Kit ($24.99), a glycolic acid-based treatment, smoothes, tones, and brightens skin after a few uses.
Meet Your Perfect Mask
With so many different kinds of masks hitting store shelves, Alexiades-Armenakas reveals the most effective ingredients.
- Emollient ingredients, such as hyaluronic acids, ammonium lactate, squalane, ceramides, glycerin, and dimethicone, help build barriers that keep moisture in the skin.
- Salicylic acid decreases oil production and helps prevent acne.
- Clay is infused with silicates that leave a slick residue on the skin's surface, making it temporarily feel smooth.

Art for Mankind's Sake
Though they seem like distant past lives, I used to write often about photography and I used to live in Paris, the latter for about ten years. One of my favorite annual events there was called Paris Photo, a gathering of and displays by 100-plus of the best photo galleries from around the world, in the Carousel de Louvre. I met and made many friends there over the years, occasionally bought some beautiful photography that I would never have discovered otherwise, all in a very Parisian setting.
As luck would have it, the event was on last weekend while I was in Paris, so I lucked out. I went on a warm November Saturday, so the place was packed … I would have preferred to wander the gallery displays privately, or at least unaccompanied by a thousand elbowing, rubber-necking Frenchmen, but it was still great. The biggest difference since the last event I'd seen, easily a half-dozen years ago, was the content. Then, it seemed, the most beautiful work by some of the best art photographers in the world was focused on art for art's sake. Still-lives from Japan, big colorful recreations by Gregory Crewdsen, and lots and lots of work by my old pal Peter Beard.
It's a different world now and was reflected in the artwork, and the theme of the show: Work by and about the Arab and Iranian worlds. Fourteen galleries from the Mideast were spotlighted, as were about fifty Muslim and Mideastern photographers. Most of the work would not be considered photojournalism but rather an artist's take on real life, but the line between the two in many instances was thin. One goal of the curators, I am sure, was to get away from the stereotypical image of life in the Arab world – veiled women and local craftsmen – and on the destruction that has wreaked havoc in the Empty Quarter so intensely this past decade. Talks and videos by Iranian photographers were highlighted during the weekend, as was the Arab Image Foundation, dedicated to preserving photography of the region going back one hundred and fifty years.
Given my affection for blue water, I especially liked these photos by Tehran-born Jalal Sepehr, seen at the Esther Woerdehoff Galerie. The experience reminded me of the mountain film festivals I'd seen in recent days, and my discouragement of the need for any more movies focused on privileged white people throwing themselves on boards off the tops of increasingly steeper mountains; art for art's sake will always have a place, but art focused on the human condition – particularly when it is at its worst – is invaluable.

BATON ROUGE, La. --- Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.) and Ronrico White (Knoxville, Tenn.) posted career highs in the Chattanooga Mocs (2-7) 80-67 loss tonight at LSU (6-0). Mason tallied his first 20-point night with 22, while White poured in 17.
The Tigers were led by a duo of their own. Johnny O'Bryant III and Andre Stringer each scored 18. O'Bryant added a game-high 10 rebounds.
LSU led by as many as 15 early in the second half, but the Mocs would not roll over. Jared Bryant (Cincinnati, Ohio) cut the lead to eight, 52-44, on a strong power post move with 14:54 to go in the game.
Martynas Bareika (Kedainiai, Lithuania) sandwiched a Drazen Zlovaric (Novi Sad, Serbia) layup with two of his own, running the floor to get the Mocs within five, 55-50, at 12:18. The next trip down, a Mason three-pointer cut the margin to two, 55-53.
But that is as close as UTC would get. LSU went on an 11-0 run capped by a Stringer jumper to take control of the game. The Mocs got no closer than 11 the rest of the way.
"The first thing I told them in the locker room is very simple," Head Coach John Shulman stated. "You know you've gotten better when you go to an SEC venue against an undefeated SEC team, and you felt like you gave it away. We made enough silly mental mistakes and blunders to win the basketball game."
For just the second time this season, Chattanooga was out-rebounded by a foe. The Tigers held a 46-39 advantage on the glass including 15 on the offensive boards. LSU also out-scored the Mocs 38-20 in the paint.
It was a see-saw affair in the first half. After the Tigers scored the game's first seven points, Chattanooga scored nine unanswered of its own taking its first lead, 9-7, on a White jumper. LSU jumped back up six, 15-9, scoring the next eight points ending with Charles Carmouche's two free throws at 13:01.
Mason's trey evened the score, 20-20, at 10:30. On the Mocs' next possession, Mason's offensive rebound kept the play alive and White nailed a three for the 23-20 lead. LSU closed the half on a 22-7 run to take a 42-30 lead into intermission.
"You know I've got the utmost confidence in Farad Cobb shooting that ball, and he got unbelievable looks at the basket," Shulman added. "Gee (McGhee) got really good looks inside the three-point line that didn't go, we all got good looks inside the three point line.
"I liked our offensive concept tonight," he added. "I thought we had better flow. It's really our second game that we're doing this, so I think we'll get better at it and better at it and better at it, but we've got to have more production from certain guys for us to be successful, and that's not a secret."
UTC returns home to wrap up the pre-holiday schedule in McKenzie Arena. Mercer invades the Scenic City at 3 p.m., Sunday, December 16, while Reinhardt stops by the following Friday, December 21, at Noon. Tickets are available on GoMocs.com or by calling (423) 266-MOCS (6627).

Chris and I normally crave barbecue at least once a week. We normally just go out to a local barbecue joint for dinner, but now that we have the new oven (YAY); I can make my favorite baked BBQ chicken at home (no grill required).
This recipe is super simple to make. You'll notice that the first 5 ingredients (plus olive oil), are more of a basic chicken seasoning recipe. Feel free to use that base, and switch out the sauce for something else (ex: Italian Dressing). Voila – you'll have a whole new meal.
See the okra in the picture? Recipe coming soon, and it's completely non-slimy … YES.
Easy Baked BBQ Chicken
Serves 2-3
- 1 lb. chicken breasts (2 breasts)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt, each side
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, each side
- Onion powder
- Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Pickapeppa sauce
- 1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- BBQ sauce (I used Russ and Franks)
- Extra virgin olive oil
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the chicken breasts in a small casserole or baking dish. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken. Sprinkle onion powder and garlic powder, from the bottle, on both sides of the chicken. Pour Pickapeppa, Worcestershire over chicken. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil on the chicken. Mix chicken and ingredients with hands to evenly coat the chicken with sauces. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. When there is 10 minutes of cook-time left, pour BBQ sauce over chicken.

The Vermont Legislature is closer than ever to passing the first ban on hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") in the country. This dangerous natural gas extraction process is polluting air and drinking water all across America and releasing significant amounts of the potent greenhouse gas methane into the atmosphere in so doing. Scientists are currently finding that methane is much more toxic to the environment than carbon dioxide and is over 20 times more effective than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 100-year period.
As most people know, fracking is a process of natural gas extraction from shale deposits beneath the earth, wherein large amounts of water, combined with chemicals and sand, are pumped under high pressure into a drilled gas well. The pressure this creates splits the shale along existing fault lines, allowing the natural gas to flow freely into the well.
Hydrofracturing was first used in Kansas in 1947 and shortly thereafter Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Company was given the exclusive right to use the fracturing method. Initially, oil and other more viscous materials were pumped into wells to complete a fracturing job. In 1953, water became a fracturing fluid and various chemicals have been added over the years to increase the fluid's effectiveness.
The U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Energy and Commerce had this to say about these chemicals: "More than 650 of the products used in fracking contain chemicals that are known or possible human carcinogens regulated under the Safe Drinking Water Act, or listed as hazardous air pollutants." Additionally, 65 to 90 percent of these fracking chemicals stay underground indefinitely.
New evidence from seismologists indicates that fracking enhances the probability of earthquakes,* not good news in any case but especially given that Vermont Yankee is still operating even though its state license expired in March.
Gas companies like Exxon Mobil and Chevron spent $726 million lobbying the federal government from 2001–2011. As a result, fracking is now exempt from major federal statues, including:
Safe Drinking Water Act
Clean Water Act
Clear Air Act
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
Toxics Release Inventory
National Environmental Policy Act
The U.S. government is playing dice with our health, because our elected officials cannot "just say no" to the money that the oil and gas industry is throwing at them to look the other way. This calls to mind Mussolini's quote "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
Natural gas deposits exist mainly in the northwestern corner of Vermont and south along Lake Champlain. These deposits are an extension of Canada's large Utica shale formation. With weak federal oversight, regulation falls to state officials.
Given this, the Vermont Senate's Committee on Natural Resources and Energy is currently taking testimony on a bill, H.464, which would place a permanent ban on fracking in Vermont.
This is something we all can and should support! This bill will be voted on very, very soon.
If you care about the environment, please call your state senators and ask them to support this bill. (If you're not sure who they are, look them up here: http://bit.ly/mysenator.) Let's show how the united voices of Vermonters can be more powerful than the well-paid lobbyists of the fossil fuel industry! Let's ban fracking in Vermont and set a standard for the rest of the nation to follow.
Anne Dillon lives in Waitsfield.

Pushmataha County Sheriffs Deputy Marzek radioed dispatch to inform them that he was going to need another Deputy to his location after he saw the driver of a blue pickup raise a rifle in the back glass.
Deputy Marzek was on patrol when he saw a pickup go partially into the ditch on Nelson Road when the two vehicles were getting ready to meet. According to the police report, the driver of the pickup waved at the deputy like he was glad to see him.
Deputy Marzek turned around and proceeded to follow the vehicle to make sure the driver wasn't intoxicated, since he had already gone into the ditch. The pickup sped up and turned onto Brumfield road without signaling . Marzek also turned. The pickup then went back into the ditch and the driver appeared to be reaching into the passenger side of the vehicle for something. The pickup then again went into the ditch.
The deputy then began to initiate the stop with his lights and siren. After he activated his siren, Marzek saw the driver raise a rifle up into the back glass of the truck, clearly into his line of sight, put it back down, and then repeat the action. Marzek radioed dispatch at this time.
The pickup came to a very sudden stop and Deputy Marzek stopped and exited his unit with his duty weapon un-holstered and moved to the rear of his unit. He advised the driver to show him his hands and the driver placed both hands out the window. Marzek placed handcuffs on the driver and saw two rifles in the pickup.
Marzek cleared the rifles, one of which was chamber loaded and had several live rounds in the magazine. He asked the driver if there was anything else illegal in the vehicle and the driver said marijuana and methamphetamine were in his fanny pack.
Deputy Culver and Under sheriff Darell Nichols then arrived at the scene. Inside the pickup they found a needle, a baggie with crystal like substance, cut straw, razor, spoon, deer horn pipe, seeds, a baggie with a green leafy substance, and a small green smoking device. The leafy substance and crystal substance field tested positive as marijuana and methamphetamine.
The driver was identified as James Ray Read, a 49 year old white male of Antlers. Read was placed under arrest and read his rights. When asked Read said that the reason he had ran off the road was he was trying to unload the rifles, and that is what he was also doing when the Deputy saw the weapons. Read said the fanny pack and rifles were his.
Read was arrested for Controlled drug schedule II using MV; Use firearm/weapon commission of a felony; Marijuana (misdemeanor) using MV; Possession or selling of paraphernalia while using MV; Transporting loaded firearm in MV without possessing handgun permit.

A:The color that we use in all of our products is food-grade and it is very rare that we receive feedback about it staining skin or tiles. When we do hear of color transferring, it tends to happen on tubs that have residue from previous products left on the tile, in which case it can just be cleaned away after use. As long as the product is rinsed away after use, you shouldn't find that it stains!Answered on 10/28/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
