Gray Station Middle School principal Wes Cavender and team captain Phillis Simpson were recognized at the Nov. 13 meeting by Macon's ACS senior community manager, Kacey Pernell, for the school's contribution to Jones County's 2012 Relay For Life effort that raised $110,000.
Pernell stated that the school system had 100 percent participation in the Relay, and the schools contributed $47,897.13, almost half, of Jones County's total contribution.
"Gray Station Middle School led not only the school teams, but all the Relay teams, raising over $15,000," she said.
The representative said Simpson and Cavender worked tirelessly with their team and students in fund-raising throughout the entire year.
Pernell thanked board members, Superintendent William Mathews, and event chairman Leslie Poythress, as well as all principals, teachers, staff and students for their support. She said, since 2004, the schools in Jones County have contributed $284,393 to the Relay.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Dec. 3)-New Mexico State swimming and diving head coach Rick Pratt has signed three swimmers to National Letters of Intent during the early signing period. Anna Brooks, Abbie Broome and Logan Morris are joining the Aggies in fall 2013.
"I am very excited about our three commitments this fall," Pratt said. "We still have a little more work to do for the late signing period, however, these three are a great start, and certainly fill some of the gaps we need with our graduating seniors."
Brooks lives in Kansasville, Wis., and swims for Wakausha Express with coach Blain Carlson and is one of the top swimmers in Wisconsin this season. Brooks attends Westosha Central High School in Paddock Lake, Wis. As a senior, she led the Falcons to a sectional and conference championship and a ninth-place finish at the state meet. Brooks holds eight team records and eared all-county swimmer of the year honors in 2009 after guiding the team to sectional and conference titles as a freshman.
"Anna can swim a lot of things and is going to make a huge impact on our program," he said. "She will help us right away on relays and pretty much in any event we want to put her in. She is a confident lady with the drive and discipline to help her achieve great things at the college level. I am thrilled she has chosen NM State and is another great find for us out of the state of Wisconsin."
Broome, a Phoenix, Ariz. resident, is swimming for the Scottsdale Aquatic Club with coach Kevin Zacher. She is attending Chaparral High School in Scottsdale, Ariz. Broome led the Five Birds to a 7-0 record in 2012 and a sixth-place showing at state. She is both a team and conference record holder.
"Abbie was a great find for us, and I think she has the leadership qualities to really help our team in many ways," he said. "She has a great personality and mixed well with the team during her visit. Abbie is a sprint freestyler and will be a great help in those events along with fly and back. She is very athletic and has the strength to get much faster. She is another great student and has the attributes to be very successful at NM State."
Morris joins the Aggies from Montrose, Colo. She swims for the Delta Barracudas with coach Amanda Hatch and Montrose High School with coach Ellen Erickson. Morris was a two-time state champion in the 100 breaststroke in 2011 and 2012. She set the state record in the 100 breast (1:04.03) in 2011. Morris led the Indians to league crowns in 2010 and 2011.
"Logan swims the breaststroke events and will make an immediate impact for us," Pratt said. "She has been one of the top breaststrokers in the state of Colorado and has the potential to take her swimming to the highest level. Logan is a great person and will make an excellent teammate with our group. I am honored she choose NM State and think she will do great things for our program in many ways."

T&S also leaves out the fact that you need a special 60 degree chamfer bit for the 3/16" holes and a regular 11/32" chamfer bit.
I think that the weaponeer plate having the trunnion holes and a finished pintal hole probably put it over the top.
The brasscartridge plate has no trunnion holes and the pintal hole is undersized.
This is the drill guide that BC supplies with his plates.
Keep in mind you MUST start with a .250 thick plate and mill it down to .187 leaving the island in the middle so that FA parts can not be installed.Originally Posted by ff69
A finished .187 (3/16") plate (all by itself) without the island is a machine gun according to the BATFE
.1875 on the plate thickness

I beat you to it, LOL. I was just re reading this thread and noticed that.
The finished size for the pintal is 9/16" not 1/2"
Don't you think that by you sending a T&S RSP off to the BATF you might just be throwing T&S and their customers under the bus. You could be opening a huge can of worms.....I hope you have had some dialog with T&S before you send 1 of their RSP's off to some tech in the BATF.......JMHOOriginally Posted by panaceabeachbum

yeah I thought about that last night and decided it wasnt my place to do any such. I was really just asking other members thoughts on the plate to possibly save somebody some greif down the road. In reality these are advertised openly for sale on the internet so to think batfe hasnt already looked the T+S site over would be silly. You are correct not my place to be concerned

The X Factor
Who Is Arin Ray? X Factor 2012 Finalist Background Info
UPDATE: Arin was eliminated on November 22, 2012.
Age: 17
Occupation: Student
Hometown: Cincinnati
Last year, there was a trainwreck on the Fox soundstage thanks to Paula Abdul's wunderkind horror show, InTENsity. Whomever's idea it was to take ten talented people and squeeze them together so close that all the talent leaked out in a messy puddle... Well, we hope they've learned their lesson.
InTENsity wasn't not talented (just as double negatives aren't not good) — and one positive thing did come out of this terror-ific experiment: Arin Ray. You might remember him as the outspoken 15-year-old from Cincinnati who called out the songs chosen for InTENsity as "cheesy" and expressed his fear of being in the group, saying, "I just don't want to be labeled as Disney kids."
With Hot Topic clothes and the zany Paula Abdul as the foundations of their image, it's a miracle InTENsity got as far as they did in the competition. Now, Arin Ray is back and aiming to win on his own. And, according to Vote For The Worst, he's going to make it pretty far.
UPDATE: The now 17-year-old Arin worked with Ms. Britney Spears and made it through live shows to the Top 10 before being eliminated.

You can only hold your stomach in for so many years.

You can only hold your stomach in for so many years.
Burt Reynolds
Back to top.
A few weeks ago, we gave you tips on building great-looking abs (refer to "5 Ways to Speed Up Your Six-Pack" in the Related Articles section below). Now we're going to focus on the other half of the equation: your diet. When it comes to creating incredible abs, even the most effective workout programs can only bring you so far. That's because you can't get a flat, hard midsection without losing body fat. Here's how to eat your way to great abs.
No matter how much effort you put into creating a six-pack, no one's going to see it if it's covered by a layer of flab. (The good news? While it's impossible to "spot-reduce," abdominal fat is often the first to go when you start losing weight.)
If you're following the dietary guidelines of a Beachbody® fitness program, you'll automatically be eating the right foods to lose fat as you get in shape. But the following seven principles can give you an extra edge, and will help ensure that the effort you're putting into your abs will bring you the results you want.
Get plenty of protein. Eating enough lean protein promotes fat loss and muscle gain, the two most important elements for developing great abs. It also helps keep you from getting hungry while you're eating right. You don't have to gobble down 12-ounce steaks—just eat a normal portion of lean meat, fish, low-fat dairy, or vegetarian protein with every meal, and make sure your snacks contain some protein, too. If you still have a hard time getting enough in your diet, a daily shake made with Whey Protein Powder can be a perfect addition.
By the way, protein is especially important in the morning, when a lot of people don't get as much as they should. A protein-rich breakfast will help keep your blood sugar steady for hours, preventing the dips that can lead to cravings later in the day. (Try some low-fat chicken sausage, or an omelet with one whole egg and three egg whites, along with fruit or whole-grain toast.)
Drink more fluids. Hydration is important when you're on a fitness plan, but drinking plenty of water has particular benefits for your midsection. It helps keep your stomach full, so you don't overeat, and it helps flush out excess sodium to prevent belly bloating. (Eating more potassium-rich foods, such as tomatoes and bananas, will also help in this area.)
Plain ol' H20 can't be beat, but you can also switch it up with flavored waters, iced tea, and anything else you like to drink that isn't full of sweeteners. How much do you need? The old rule of 8 glasses a day is a good start, but everyone is different: drink more if you're exercising or it's hot out, and drink less if you're running to the bathroom every 5 minutes.
If you add these rules to your fitness plan, you're sure to see faster improvements in your midsection. Of course, there's an added bonus to eating this way: it'll keep you healthier, too. That may not be as big an inducement as great abs, but we're throwing it in for free.

I'm sure by now many of you have seen the recent cover of TIME magazine stating that exercise doesn't matter for weight loss. As you might imagine, we at Beachbody are a little incredulous at this premise. After all, we have reports from thousands of individuals who've used exercise to dramatically change their bodies. Could we be the ones who are mistaken? Could all of those transformations have happened from dietary change alone? Today, let's take an analytical look at how we lose weight.
This article is going to deviate from our usual approach. As a person who has spent most of his life altering human physiques, I'm going to deconstruct the TIME article from top to bottom and try to make some sense out of what seems like a very unlikely premise. Let's begin with the tagline:
" . . . because exercise makes us hungry or because we want to reward ourselves, many people eat more—and eat more junk food, like doughnuts—after going to the gym."
Could it be true? After all, exercise not only makes you want to eat more, but it requires that your body consume more calories to recover from a breakdown of body tissue. What's unclear at this point is where the "junk food, like doughnuts" came from. My experience with Beachbody customers (and others over the last 25 years) is exactly the opposite; exercise actually leads to better eating habits because a body in tune with its needs craves healthier foods. But this is the tag line of an article that's going to circulate worldwide. Certainly, the author is about to present some compelling evidence for his argument. John Cloud proceeds to inform us:
"One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. But I exercise all the time, and since I ended that relationship and cut most of those desserts, my weight has returned to the same 163 lb. it has been most of my adult life."
His personal example of how exercise has not helped him lose weight seems to have left him rather bitter. "I have exercised like this—obsessively, a bit grimly—for years," he states. "But recently I began to wonder: Why am I doing this?" To me, it revived memories of Gina Kolata's best-selling drivel from last year blaming the obesity epidemic on our genes, where her entire argument was based around her brother training for a marathon and losing only 3 pounds. But certainly, the cover story of TIME wasn't going to be based on one man's personal weight loss odyssey.
If only Cloud and Kolata were members of the Message Boards, we could have told them how to break plateaus using a simple periodizational approach. Of course, this may have hurt their bank accounts, but at least they'd be less disenfranchised with the fitness industry, as well as a lot healthier.
But I digress. Next, Cloud states:
"Still, as one major study—the Minnesota Heart Survey—found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly. The survey ran from 1980, when only 47% of respondents said they engaged in regular exercise, to 2000, when the figure had grown to 57%."
At least he used "at least say," because other studies don't back this up. In fact, numerous studies published this decade show that children exercise somewhere between 20 percent and 25 percent less than they did in the 1970s, while only eating approximately 3 percent more calories. Statistics tell us that childhood obesity rates are over 30 percent nationwide, and over 40 percent in some demographics. Obese children are 99 percent more likely to wind up as obese adults than non-obese children. In fact, we don't need statistics to tell us this at all. We just need to be observant. The absence of children playing in the streets, the empty bike racks at schools, the prevalence of video games, and the increase in things to watch on TV should make it easy to draw this conclusion sans further input. Using this background, Cloud gets down to the nitty-gritty:
'"In general, for weight loss, exercise is pretty useless,' says Eric Ravussin, chair in diabetes and metabolism at Louisiana State University and a prominent exercise researcher."
This seems like a pretty bold statement. The physiological response by the body to exercise is to increase its metabolism. All other things being equal, this leads to weight loss, and there is no scientific evidence to refute it. The only scenario when it would not help is one where an individual consumed more calories than they burned off. But not only would they have to exceed the actual caloric burn of the exercise, they'd have to eat beyond the additional physiological changes the body makes to recover from exercise. And while it feels as though we're getting to the point of the article, caloric consumption in Cloud's view is always only weighed against calories burned during exercise. Furthermore, this premise dismisses the findings of at least three long-term studies done between 1997 and 2008 that show exercise is extremely important for maintaining a goal weight after weight loss.
But I'm getting ahead of myself. Cloud goes on to tell us:
"Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons: People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases—those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer, diabetes and many other illnesses."
So he's advocating exercise, apparently, just not for weight loss. Odd, when two of the diseases listed above are directly related to obesity. Regardless, this dubious setup allows Cloud to drop his bomb, which is based on spotty science and conjecture:
"That causes us to eat more, which in turn can negate the weight-loss benefits we just accrued. Exercise, in other words, isn't necessarily helping us lose weight. It may even be making it harder."
For scientific evidence, Cloud uses a study out of Louisiana State University [LSU] that showed women on an exercise program didn't lose much more weight than a group who wasn't on an exercise program when their diets weren't monitored. Of course, the women on an exercise program still lost more weight; it just wasn't very significant. But without factoring in diet, it's hard to say what went on within this group. Surely, the dietary component of a weight loss program is important, but stating that exercise is making weight loss harder seems like a stretch, especially when citing a study where the group that exercised still lost more weight. This extrapolation was summed up well in Denis Faye's blog The Real Fitness Nerd:
"Claiming that exercise isn't effective because people use it as an excuse to otherwise misbehave is like claiming a medication isn't effective because patients don't follow the directions properly."
The conjecture continues, as Cloud continues mentioning cravings for various junk foods whenever the topic of exercise comes up. For example:
"In 2007 the American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association issued new guidelines stating that 'to lose weight . . . 60 to 90 minutes of physical activity may be necessary.' That's 60 to 90 minutes on most days of the week, a level that not only is unrealistic for those of us trying to keep or find a job but also could easily produce, on the basis of Church's data, ravenous compensatory eating."
But physical activity is defined as any type of movement that increases your heart rate over time, so he's using the American College of Sports Medicine's guidelines for undefined exercise, making a jump to suggest this should happen at intensities that cause us to pig out, assuming those exist in the first place. This is in contrast to studies that show compensatory eating happens more regularly among sedentary groups. Regardless, it's virtually impossible to prove that moving our bodies more will make us "ravenous," especially when Cloud's still only referencing the LSU study.
His next leap of illogic jumps the shark:
"If you force yourself to jog for an hour, your self-regulatory capacity is proportionately enfeebled. Rather than lunching on a salad, you'll be more likely to opt for pizza."
Cloud provides no rationale for this. Maybe he would opt for pizza, as we can only assume. But no evidence is presented as to why someone would do this other than a paper published in Psychological Bulletin in 2000 that claims self-control is like a muscle: it weakens each day after you use it. How he came to the conclusion that this would lead someone to eat pizza as a post-workout snack is anyone's guess because, unfortunately, he doesn't attempt to explain it. It's just his opinion.
Next, he attempts to make his point using some science:
"Yes, although the muscle-fat relationship is often misunderstood. According to calculations published in the journal Obesity Research by a Columbia University team in 2001, a pound of muscle burns approximately six calories a day in a resting body, compared with the two calories that a pound of fat burns. Which means that after you work out hard enough to convert, say, 10 lb. of fat to muscle—a major achievement—you would be able to eat only an extra 40 calories per day, about the amount in a teaspoon of butter, before beginning to gain weight. Good luck with that."
Cloud's flippant dismissal at the end of this paragraph could be taken as self-mockery because no one can convert fat to muscle. The physiological process does not exist. You can lose fat (atrophy) and gain muscle (hypertrophy), but you can't convert one type of body tissue into another. Furthermore, the Columbia research has not been proven conclusive. Brad Schoenfeld, in an in-depth review of the TIME article on his blog Workout 911, cites two studies showing far greater differences in metabolic properties.
"In a study done at Tufts University, Campbell and colleagues reported an increase in lean body weight of 3.1 pounds after 12 weeks of strength training increased resting metabolic rate by approximately 6.8%. This translated into an additional 105 calories burned per day. Do the math, and that equates to approximately 35 calories burned for each pound of added muscle. A study by Pratley and colleagues came to a similar conclusion on the topic. A similar four month strength training protocol resulted in a gain of 3.5 pounds of lean muscle. Metabolic rate showed a resulting 7.7% increase, correlating to a metabolic-heightening effect of muscle of approximately 34 calories."
Cloud does manage to quote a lot of credentialed people, but he does so in a way where he either uses their quotes out of context or he interprets them in a way that's just plain wrong. For example, let's use his analysis of why running could be worse for weight loss than "sitting on the sofa knitting."
"Some of us can will ourselves to overcome our basic psychology, but most of us won't be very successful. 'The most powerful determinant of your dietary intake is your energy expenditure,' says Steven Gortmaker, who heads Harvard's Prevention Research Center on Nutrition and Physical Activity. 'If you're more physically active, you're going to get hungry and eat more.'"
True, you will be hungry and might eat more. What he leaves out is that not only can you eat more, but at some point, you need to eat more to lose weight. At Beachbody, this is one of the most difficult principles we have to teach our customers. At the beginning of an exercise-induced weight loss program, we restrict calories. As a person's body composition changes, so does that person's need for caloric consumption. It's not uncommon for our customers to double the amount of food they need to eat to keep their weight loss moving once they get into good shape. This simple physiological fact renders Cloud's argument moot.
And not only do individual caloric needs change, but so do nutrient needs. In my experience, the need for more nutrient-dense foods seems to create cravings for healthier foods that are nutrient dense. And since these foods tend to be less calorically dense (because they are often plant based and contain fiber), the most common scenario among our customer base is that people become less hungry over time because they're eating foods which keep them full longer.
Cloud follows this with an about-face, making a point that if people moved more, they could exercise less. Ignoring the fact that all movement is considered some form of exercise, Cloud uses some studies that showed kids who got less recess time spent more personal time exercising, and thus stayed on par with their weight loss, than those who got more recess—not exactly a damnation of exercise.
Then he actually champions exercise with the following statement:
"In addition to enhancing heart health and helping prevent disease, exercise improves your mental health and cognitive ability. A study published in June in the journal Neurology found that older people who exercise at least once a week are 30% more likely to maintain cognitive function than those who exercise less. Another study, released by the University of Alberta a few weeks ago, found that people with chronic back pain who exercise four days a week have 36% less disability than those who exercise only two or three days a week."
This seems like a strong testament from an article that began as anti-exercise. He further drives home the need to exercise with the following paragraph:
"But there's some confusion about whether it is exercise—sweaty, exhausting, hunger-producing bursts of activity done exclusively to benefit our health—that leads to all these benefits or something far simpler: Regularly moving during our waking hours. We all need to move more—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says our leisure-time physical activity (including things like golfing, gardening and walking) has decreased since the late 1980s, right around the time the gym boom really exploded. But do we need to stress our bodies at the gym?"
Huh? Who defined exercise as the need to "stress our bodies at the gym"? Wasn't this the same guy who had just told me that I'd be better off knitting than going for a run? It seems like the entire point of the article was for Cloud to publish an excuse so he wouldn't have to go to the gym anymore. He then proceeds to ask himself this exact question.
"This explains why exercise could make you heavier—or at least why even my wretched four hours of exercise a week aren't eliminating all my fat. It's likely that I am more sedentary during my nonexercise hours than I would be if I didn't exercise with such Puritan fury. If I exercised less, I might feel like walking more instead of hopping into a cab; I might have enough energy to shop for food, cook and then clean instead of ordering a satisfyingly greasy burrito."
The funny thing is that over the course of the article he actually seems to have convinced himself that he should exercise, only differently. He simply became befuddled on the type of exercise that he should be doing to get rid of his belly. It's more like an article to promote periodizational exercise, even though he doesn't mention it. He admits his confusion:
"Actually, it's not clear that vigorous exercise like running carries more benefits than a moderately strenuous activity like walking while carrying groceries."
Here we would agree, as it is unclear, especially without defining the intensity of the run or the amount of weight in groceries being carried. Not to mention the duration or the way you structured your daily tasks. What's become clear to me, by this point, is that the author needs a personal trainer. But he doesn't need one who takes him through workouts; he needs one who would plan an effective program for him. Cloud sums it up:
"In short, it's what you eat, not how hard you try to work it off, that matters more in losing weight. You should exercise to improve your health, but be warned: fiery spurts of vigorous exercise could lead to weight gain."
Again, he has it wrong. He's admitted a need to eat better and to exercise; he simply doesn't understand the process. All his self-flagellation reminds me of the colloquial definition of insanity, "doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result." What this author really needs, if he wants to lose his belly, is a Beachbody program.

As an 8-year-old kid, I tried to incite a food fight in school. My only setback was that I tried to start one on a Friday, the day when we were served "fun" food, like pizza and hot dogs. No one wanted to throw that food around. True, we all know about food fights in school, but how many of us know about actual large-scale food fights—real skirmishes, wars, and battles involving food, fists, and, sometimes, firearms. Match the conflict with its unique food or characteristic.

A modified Notification Center would be nice... I can't really see myself responding to much on an "iWatch". iCloud could be nice for contact syncing... and having a way to dial a number from the "iWatch" to push the call to my phone and have it play through a bluetooth headset... that could be convenient. Then again, that's what Siri is meant for.
The "iWatch" is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Is pulling out your phone to check a notification that difficult? With custom rings/vibrates... you should have a pretty good idea of what's going on in your pocket.
What features would you want in an iWatch? [Poll]
Given the recent rumors about an iWatch, we wanted to take a moment and you, the smartest iOS enthusiast community on the planet, what features you'd like to see in such a device, were Apple ever to release such a thing. Assuming it could link to our iPhones and iPads via Bluetooth 4.0 or similar technology, and exchange information back and forth with our constantly connected, larger capacity iOS devices, how would you like to see that used?
Would you want a Siri pass-through, so anything you said to the mic on your iWatch would be carried out by your iPhone and iPad, and the response sent back to the speaker on your wrist? That would let you send messages, place calls, add appointments, set alarms, and many other things.
Notification Center could display alerts on your iWatch, so you could casually glance at which apps are trying to get attention on your iPhone or iPad, and then follow up when and as needed. Widgets, like those included in Notification Center or Siri could allow for glance-able data, especially if they can be smart and predictive about it. Maybe even dedicated iWatch "companion" apps?
If the iWatch has a FaceTime camera built in, it could use Wi-Fi or piggy-back on your iOS 4G/3G connection to place video calls, right from your wrist. If the iWatch has iCloud built in, you could listen to iTunes music or videos streamed right to it, just like an Apple TV. Passbook integration could let your iWatch show your Starbucks card, movie ticket, or boarding pass without even having to reach into your pocket and pull out your iPhone.
Make all the maps jokes you want, but what about GPS directions show right on your watch? Or fitness features like Nike+ or the iPod nano pedometer?
Unless you're completely against the idea of an iOS iWatch, there are all sorts of features that aren't just intriguing, but downright compelling. Vote in the poll up top, and give us your grand vision and dreams in the comments below! (Or if you don't want it, tell us why!)

Then again, that's what Siri is meant for.
Notification and Playback control would be pretty good, having siri could be ok (if you want to look like dick tracy)
I want the old iPod Nano, just add wifi and notification center
If there was to be an iwatch, I'd like it to be just like the ipod nano with bluetooth.
Get in the car and have the system connect via bluetooth to play music... and when the car is off, the connection ends and the music playing stops. No wires to deal with, but a 3.5 mm jack available if needed.
Unless the screen will be big enough, I don't think gps/maps is a good idea if it's going to be used for driving. Walking, sure though you might as well pull out your phone and relatively reduce eye-strain. But a big screen for a watch... can't really imagine it being practically worn without looking kinda weird.
I know when the iPad first came out people said it was a redundant device but a watch is REALLY a redundant device. The iPhone isn't so big and cumbersome that it needs a smaller companion to ease its burden. Plus we as a society are at the point where it is not unusual (even accepted) to pull out oes phone a any given time for a glance, so socially an iWatch isn't fixing an existing problem.
If there is such a product in the works it will (hopefully) be something no one has yet thought of. Just like many people assumed a touch screen iPod would have touch display version of he click wheel only to be shown wrong when the iPhones amazing interface was revealed, an iWatch could be a device that does things in a way no one has thought of yet. If it is just a smaller screen that does less than my iPhone but still requires my iPhone for it to work as well as my iPhone to use, then It sounds like a clunker.
Music, Videos, Weather. Games would be too difficult as most of the time it would be on your wrist and therefore you would only have one hand to use and the screen would be very small so you wouldn't be very precise. Also a keyboard would be difficult to use and so would web browsing.
An iWatch should basically be a remote for an iOS device. For me, an iWatch would have to be about simple quick actions and any information that could be glanceable. So Siri integration and a notification center are must haves. I hadn't thought about maps, but that could be useful. I don't know how icloud would be more useful than it running through Siri. It could also remind you when you are leaving the device you are connected to. Passbook is something I hadn't thought about but I have always thought a watch would be a better place for NFC than the phone. Fitness features would also be a plus. That said, I think e-ink is a good idea. It doesn't have to be another ipod although it should be a remote for itunes.
Not Facetime. Maybe in 2020 but for now no one needs Facetime at a moments notice. App integration makes sense but not apps for the phone because if it were me I wouldn't build a powerful watch, I would build the most informative, efficient iOS remote possible.

WILLIAMSON — State Sen. H. Truman Chafin, (D-Mingo), this week announced that he strongly opposed allowing merchants to add surcharge fees of up to 4 percent extra onto bills if consumers pay with credit cards.
Chafin said in a release that "it's been a long time practice for most credit card issuers to charge merchants a 'so-called interchange fee' which earned credit card companies a lot of money."
Under a proposed legal settlement, some merchants could soon begin charging consumers for using a credit card, the release stated. The senator said that many customers were not aware of the new credit card surcharge and that they have been unaware that credit card issuers have been charging merchants credit card fees for some time.
Chafin said he plans to introduce legislation to "prohibit merchants from doing to West Virginia customers what has been done to them for a long time," in charging customers a credit card fee of up to 4 percent.
The senator said that some states had already implemented protection laws for customers regarding credit card fees and surcharges and that he plans to introduce similar legislation to protect West Virginia customers.
Under consumer protection laws, Chafin said, merchants should provide "clear and conspicuous disclosure" if any such fees or surcharges are going to be passed along to customers.
"In tough economic times, our West Virginia consumers simply cannot afford further credit card surcharges and I urge my legislative colleagues to join with me to protect the consumers of West Virginia," Chafin said.

Weaver VanDunk
Adam Weaver from the men's volleyball team and Jordan VanDunk from the men's basketball team have been named the Hilbert College's Co-Student-Athletes of the Month for February, 2012.
Weaver (Stow, OH/Archbishop Hoban) started all eight of the matches he dressed for during February, and, in the 28 sets played, averaged 2.25 kills and 1.46 digs per set. The Hawks finished the month 2-7 overall with wins against SUNYIT and Wells College. The sophomore captain's best hitting percentage of .450 (10-1-20) was against Wells College, February 25th and his match-high 13 kills was during a five-set win against SUNYIT Feb. 11th. Weaver's outstanding play was recognized February 27 when he was named the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Player of the Week.
VanDunk (Dansville, NY/Dansville) started all eight games in February averaging 25.5 minutes per game. The Hawks finished the month going 4-4 as they pushed to secure a high-seeded play-off slot. The sophomore forward's 12.8 points per game (2nd highest) and 6.9 rebounds per game led the Hawks during the last month of their season. Shooting 52.2% from the field and 66.7% from the charity stripe, VanDunk led the team in blocks (4) and offensive rebounds (22). He earned a double-double (26 pts./10 rebs.) against the tallest player in the AMCC this season and his all-around play in February helped the Hawks (15-12, 11-7) secure a fourth place finish in league standings, earning the right to host a home game during the AMCC post-season tournament.

The IRONMAN TriClub Program, launched in 2012 in North America, was created as a way of giving back to the hundreds of clubs that support not only the sport of triathlon, but IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3.
By joining this FREE program, clubs can receive benefits ranging from social networking and interaction, attracting new members, and the chance to race against one another all year long for prizes and bragging rights. What began in 2012 in North America has since grown on a global scale to include clubs from around the world. Today, the program includes over 800 clubs with rosters that represent over 150,000 athletes.
The TriClub Podium:
The Podium program gives clubs, split into size-appropriate divisions, the opportunity to compete for a place on the coveted IRONMAN podium where they can win valuable prizes such as free race entries, VIP passes, etc. TriClub has joined the IRONMAN AGR Awards point system. This means every time a member of a club races an IRONMAN or IRONMAN 70.3, they generate Age Group Ranking Points for themselves and also for their club. Earn points by crossing the finish line!
TriClub Villages:
TriClub Villages are also a fun and motivating part of the program. Many of the IRONMAN and IRONMAN 70.3 races have TriClub Village areas. These villages are typically strategically located on the run course, provide a place where club members can set up their team tents, congregate, and cheer on athletes competing in the event.
TriClub Connect:
Join the TriClub Connect Facebook group as a great way to connect club members, share training tips, and get information directly from the IRONMAN TriClub Program. IRONMAN TriClub Connect was created for the club members and athletes looking to be part of a TriClub. Here you can check out TriClub social events at upcoming races, find out details about the TriClub Villages, and see what other clubs in your area are up to. Traveling on business and need recommendations for training? Post that question here! TriClub Connect helps you stay in touch and even make new TriClub friends.

*Pilot Program in North America in 2014*
New in 2014 is the TriClub Loyalty Program – a great way for clubs to earn cool stuff from IRONMAN without impacting their podium placement. The Loyalty Program allows clubs to redeem points at any time during the year for IRONMAN goodies. Redeeming points does not impact podium placement but any points redeemed are deleted from the loyalty program totals. Similar to an airline rewards program, clubs can redeem points as they earn them or hold them until the end of the year. The TriClub Loyalty Program is a way for clubs that are limited by geography, size, or experience of their athletes to achieve podium status with IRONMAN.
The IRONMAN TriClub Program will celebrate club achievements in two ways:
Race Day Podium Winners
Annual TriClub Awards
Sample Prizes:
Are you the club manager, coach or main point of contact for your TriClub? Register your club with IRONMAN.
Are you an athlete who is a member of a TriClub and team and want to help your club get to the IRONMAN TriClub Podium? Tell us who you are racing for.

CONCORD, N.C. – The WKA Mazda / Bridgestone Manufacturers Cup Series is back in action this weekend with the CRG America Nationals at Wampum, Pennsylvania's Pittsburgh Int'l Race Complex, the popular western Pa., venue formerly known as BeaveRun.
The fast, technical and tricky 0.8-mile Wilson Circuit at Pitt Race will play host to what's expected to be another terrific turnout for the third round of WKA's 2012 Man Cup national tour.
The track should be plenty "racey" enough when practice kicks off Friday morning. The Great Lakes Sprint Series, one of the country's top WKA divisional circuits, kicked off its 2012 season this past weekend at Pittsburgh, where a strong contingent of teams showed up to race for Great Lakes points, WKA Man Cup divisional series bonuses and gain track time for this weekend's big CRG America Nationals.
After a cool weekend for the Great Lakes opener, temperatures are expected to be very pleasant this weekend with the Wampum area's highs predicted in the mid- to upper-70s.
Twenty national main events plus kid kart exhibitions will lead Saturday and Sunday's charge. Eleven of those divisions will go off Saturday before the weekend concludes with nine races Sunday. After a full day of Friday practice, all classes will get one round of practice, a qualifying session, pre-final and final Saturday and Sunday.
Click here to view the weekend schedule and other important information pertaining to this weekend's CRG America Nationals.
There are many tight point battles to keep an eye on as the 2012 Manufacturers Cup season nears its halfway mark. Click here to view Man Cup point standings through round two at Kershaw, S.C.
Registration and pre-tech open Thursday afternoon. Registration will be open all day Friday during practice before some of the best 2-cycle kart racing takes center stage Saturday and Sunday.

In 2002, Asheron's Call 2 was released and was far ahead of it's time in terms of graphics, game mechanics, item system, crafting, pretty much everything about it. Not only that, it truly defines what an MMORPG is meant to be. A very large persistant world which you are a part of and mean something. The game doesn't offer linear quest lines like modern MMO's, no quest hubs, no set path, no classes. It is just a great game with great game mechanics.
For starters:
Classes are open ended. You earn experience which is used as a currency to upgrade skills. Every race has a VERY unique playstyle. From a race that can be a "hivekeeper" which throws bee's and wasp's at enemies to a "Tactician" that can lay down turrets and walls to lay waste to there enemy. Or maybe the secret race that needs to be unlocked in the game called "Drudge" which is a jack-of-all-trades! Or maybe a race that throws axes, uses spells and summons pets, or a hunter that wields a bow and summons a pet lasher. A healer? A healer that nukes? A healer that tanks? A tank that buffs? Be whatever mix of skills you want.
Everything is based around exploration. EVERYTHING. If you like exploring, this game is for you. To find quests, you need to explore, to learn crafting, you need to explore, to learn how to get the best XP, you need to explore. There are so many things you can find while exploring too. Rare spawn monsters which give better loot, incursion quests which are activated by killing green colored monsters yielding tons of xp, or maybe a secret dungeon that turns out to be a daily quest which yields a ton of experience?
Add to this an in-depth and meaningful crafting system. A consignment shop system where you can sell your goods such as weapons, armor, or minerals from crafting!
Add to this random stats like Diablo where an item can have a ton of enchantments which increase as you level AND those enchants can be used on other items as you please with a crafting skill called "Spellbinding"
Add to this an epic story line which ties Asherons Call 1 and why Asherons Call 2 is so desolate. (Vaults)
Add to this infinite character progression. The level cap is 150, but getting there isn't needed. In fact, you will never get there. Crafting level cap on EACH tradeskill is 500, yet the highest level item is 150, you will probably NEVER hit level 500 but it isn't necessary. There is ALWAYS something to work toward, but it doesn't hold your hand.
You are put into the world of Dereth... and it reminds me so much of playing a game like Morrowind and having the freedom to do anything BUT also having thousands of players to interact with, trade with, group with... This is what an MMORPG should be.
Here are some helpful websites for crafting and overall gameplay:

"Blue, blue."
I fully support this thread :).
After spending years upon years looking for an mmorpg that met my crazy stringent, particular tastes, I think I finally found it with the revival of AC2. I will definitely be playing this for the long, forseeable future.
Glad you enjoy it! I'm addicted to the crafting system and grouping up to kill high level incursion quests is really fun.
Rumor has it, they had over 100,000 new AC1 subs after they re-launched AC2. server is jam packed, tons of groups, it's great.

It wasn't ahead of its time. MMOs of the past were just much higher quality than MMOs of today.
Asheron's Call 2 shut down because it wasn't that good compared to all the MMOs around it at the time, as well as technical issues.
And yet its miles better than modern MMOs.
I agree, but AC2 has gone a long way. The expansions really improved the game and the AC2 in 2005 is really what I am talking about when I say it was ahead of it's time, I should rename the title. They revamped the crafting system and tweaked all the skill trees and added new races. 2005, we had WoW, EQ2, DAoC, and a bunch of other games. Would you look at an MMO made in 2002? Or just try a newer MMO? That is why it closed, in my opinion.

It's perked my interest a bit. I think some player made YouTube videos would help in garnering a bit more attention.

AC2 introduced several features that seem standard in MMOs today.
I have to hop in game and play again to see what some of the others were.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

I've read overwhelmingly positive reviews of AC2 since it was brought back in a beta form. I think there's a bit of the "rose colored glasses" cliche going on here. But before I explain that, I want to limit your flaming me as much as possible by stating that I will be subscribing to AC1 just to play AC2 anyway. The classes were very unique and I loved the non-human races (familiar from AC1). Also, I never played the expansion so if some of my comments were not true about the final (er... now current) state of the game, then this is the reason why.
With that said, here's some of the things I didn't like about the game:
1. There are no NPCs and you can't enter any buiidings. People throw around words like "immersive" but this doesn't feel immersive to me.
The response to my complaint is that the world was nearly destroyed and us, the players, are the only people left. Any building left standing are ruiins. However, it felt more like they didn't have time to implement these features or they really felt the community would become the only population necessary to make the game feel immersive. Most of us have played many MMORPGs, and I can say that for the most part the player base does not make the games more immersive. You need some touches from the devs to make you forget about that player next to you hopping around nearly naked.
As for the buildings being ruins, I would have thought a few of us would have pitched in and fixed up a few of them. Without them, it feels like we're all ported into an arena rather than a world.
2. The game felt like it was made with console play as a future possibility. I got the sense that some executive said, "Lets make sure we design this with consoles in mind." AC2 was ahead of its time in this respect, I'll give you that. It was probably the first MMORPG that thought it was a possibility. Keep in mind that I have no articles or quotes that proves this. This is my opinion of how the game presented itself to me. This is how I remember the game -- it took out complexity to be console ready. The thing is, it may now be more complex than most current MMORPGs. I'll have to see if my opionion changes after playing it again.
I also think that some of my negativity comes from someone playing AC1 then playing AC2. AC2 felt very different from AC1. If the expectation was an updated AC1, then that expectation was not met. That doesn't make it a bad game, but it may be one reason why the game failed -- people weren't expecting what AC2 delivered. I don't know that this makes the game ahead of its time... it might have been more of a marketing failure than a game design failure.
I actually don't remember too much about combat other than it was beneficial to group with others... even one other... after a certain level in the game. This is a good thing, especially compared to most other MMORPGs today. I also remember being impressed with the animations in the game at the time. I specifically remember the diving animations as you jumped into the water. They may not be that impressive any longer, but they are probably still better than TSW (ouch, cheap shot... but allowed because I bought it).
Again, before you go ripping my head off, I will be playing this game (after the new year -- too many steam games to finish now). I am looking forward to making another Lugian Tactician or a Tumerok Healer.

The two biggest detractors to AC2s success was that
1. it was Asherons Call 2.
2. It wasnt Asherons Call 1.
Asherons Call wasnt popular, so it didnt have the pull making very diffecult to gain a following...and the fact that AC1 players like me were hounding them about how they bastardized the name by leaving out everything that was both great and unique about AC1...it gained a bad rep fast for basically just taking the name of a previous game and using it to try to gain players.
AC2 had the best graphics of its time, one of the better crafting of its time(only bested by SWG), it also had a few innovations, too bad it wasnt made for AC1 players and instead was one of the first games to push MMORPGs from sandbox to themepark by cheapining the sandbox enviorment.

AC2 is far from themepark. There is no linear quest hub or anything like that. There is a huge world, you explore and do what you want.

The biggest detractor to the game was the fact that Microsoft didn't allow proper dev time, and forced a bunch of b.s. into the game that didn't work properly. The GUN server controlling chat, friends lists, etc was something forced on Turbine by MS and they simply didn't work. Going for a month or so without reliable chat killed the game very early on. Additionally, the sound system MS wanted where music would change a flourish depending on what was going on the screen. Unfortunately, hardly any sound cards supported the feature, thus many were forced to play without sound (actually toggling it off) so that it wouldn't lag their system.
From the get-go the dev team working on AC2 said it was going to be very different from AC1, and those who refused to listen were very disappointed. It was their own fault though. In many ways, I felt they saw how many of the systems in AC1 weren't going to be sustainable in the long run. AC1 was far too focused on extended character planning from the get-go and it was extremely easy to gimp yourself. Magic was far too important in AC1, and not taking life and item magics made things very tough. Granted some of that has changed, but the damage was already done. Finally, unattended macroing really hurt the game in the long run.
Jessica Mulligan made a keynote speech at Turbine Nation '04. She made a comment, and this is paraphrased "Asheron's Call 1 is the second job, while AC2 is the game you pick up and play quickly". AC1 is a very unique game for it's time, but it also demanded far too much of your free time for the game to feel like a "hobby". AC2 was supposed to be the more hobby type game.
I agree that AC2 was a first step in the world of themepark gaming, but AC2 is far from themepark in it's own right.

What always amuses me about these discussions of why AC2 failed being linked to AC1 players expectations is that AC1 players are now begging for an AC3. They will hate it too most likely since they don't actually want another AC game. They just want AC1 with better graphics and the possibility of more players so turbine doesn't can there game like the had AC2. Rumour is that AC1 had less subs than AC2 when they originally cancelled AC2. At least that was the case before they opened up the AC2 server to AC1 subscribers.

Film critic Roger Ebert says that games like Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us' leave nothing to the imagination. Why is Ebert commenting about games in the first place?
Roger Ebert is a decent film critic, even though I find many of his reviews totally off-kilter.
His take on John Carter, for instance, was just lazy.
His well-distributed opinion about video games (not art!) is no less lazy, and his recent blithe agreement that Naughty Dog's upcoming Last of Us PS3 exclusive leaves nothing to the imagination is at once preposterous (since the game has not been released) and uninformed (since Ebert doesn't play video games) regardless of whether or not it turns out to be true.
To be fair to Ebert, this is just one Tweet, and it's based on an article by Steven Boone that actually has some good things to say about the direction AAA video games have gone in their aping of Hollywood.
Boone may have good things to say about video games, but he sells The Last of Us short. The game is a survival horror game, and looks twenty times smarter than your average ultra-violent shooter. It may end up being a cinematic disappointment if it follows too closely in Uncharted's footsteps, but the game isn't out yet, and it's unfair to judge it off one trailer, as Boone does. Smart films can be violent, so can smart games.
Ebert may only be repeating what Boone said, but he has a history of opinionated statements about video games, so even a Tweet is bound to catch fire.
The problem with Ebert's anti-video-game shtick is that it could just as easily be applied to film. Compared to books, film leaves nothing to the imagination. Actually, compared to video games, film often leaves very little to the imagination, which is one reason I've been on my anti-cinematic-game bandwagon for some time now.
Good games actually leave a great deal to the imagination, and tap into those problem-solving parts of the brain that films almost never do (unless we're trying to solve a mystery.) Puzzles, exploration, combat – all the various stimulation present in a game is nowhere to be found in a film. While we passively inject a film into our brainstream, we actively engage with most games.
Of course, it may be the case that older games tap into our imaginations even more fiercely. Pen-and-paper RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons relied almost entirely on imagination, in ways that few video games do these days. This is something Tom Bissell said rather eloquently in his review of Skyrim:
I read the other day that Dungeons & Dragons has been making a comeback, and not just among ironists. If you don't believe it, head down to your local comic-book store. Classes are being taught, workshops are being led, Dungeon Master's Guides are being procured. In the middle of my Skyrim experience, I suddenly understood why. Those who love high fantasy probably just want the chance to imagine something again.
The difference between an assessment like this from Bissell and a careless Tweet from Ebert is that Bissell has a deep understanding and profound love-hate relationship with games. He understands what makes them good, what makes them games, and why a departure from this ends up killing off the imaginative aspects of gaming.
Ebert, on the other hand, simply doesn't like games. That's his prerogative, of course, but then one can't help but wonder why he bothers to comment on them. I rarely blog about the opera, or golfing, or the myriad other things I don't particularly enjoy enough to warrant writing, let alone complaining, about.
Worse, I'm engaging in one of those arguments where I say "Why should we care what Ebert has to say?" while obviously, obviously caring enough to write about it. Forgive me, I can't help myself.

|Edward Carl Gaedel (June 8, 1925 June 18, 1961) stood at 3 feet 7 inches tall. It was Sunday, August 19, 1951. Gaedel played for the St. Louis Browns and appeared at the plate in a double header against the Detroit Tigers, his number was 1/8?. Pitching that day for the Tigers was Bob Crain. Gaedel was instructed to go up to the plate and not lift the bat off his shoulders, to make sure he drew a walk. With a strike zone of only 1 and 1/2?, four pitches later he was walked. Bowing twice to the crowd as he trotted down to first base. He also received a standing ovation for his efforts. That was Gaedels only appearance ever as a Major League Player. Later that week MLB took Gaedel out of the record books, due to the American League President saying Veeck (Browns Owner) was making a mockery of the game. Gaedel was than re-listed in the record books one year later.
