Seagal-brand tactical armor, battle rifles, sniper rifles--best thing ever?
YouTube- Steven Seagal at the SHOT Show
Clearly, there are some caveats to keep in mind.
For instance, the armor is not fully effective unless you drink enough Seagal Energy Drink to keep you hydrated and a little high. Combine the two for a great feeling of invincibility.
Also, armor is not to be considered a replacement for Seagal Black People Vision(tm) or other enhancements to situational awareness. Heads on swivels, people!
"Accoutrements" are not what you think they are. No, not those either.
I kid, but we all know I'll have a Steven Seagal Sniper Rifle over my fireplace by this time next year. I guess I should build a fireplace.
Is it just me, or does Seagal leave his cajun accent in Louisiana when he leaves?

Does he have a line of his yellow-tinted tactical-shooter-glasses? I need those.
How about a signature thumb pick for guitar?

[Trailer] Letoya Luckett and Christian Keyes Star In 'Note to Self'
Last week Letoya Luckett popped up in the ATL helping raise charity funds with Ludacris and friends for 'Luda Day,' but even though she made time to kick it with the kids she's still on her grind with a new movie coming out called 'Note to Self'. The new film was written by and stars Christian Keys from 'Madea Goes to Jail' and BET's 'Let's Stay Together,' and also stars Richard T. Jones (Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married), Brian McKnight, Eva Marcille, Clifton Powell, Valarie Pettiford and Jason Weaver.
The story is said to be a mix of 'Love and Basketball' meets 'Good Will Hunting' and centers around a college athlete whose world comes crashing down on him when his mother gets sick:
"Note to Self" follows a handsome and popular student athlete coming of age during his senior year of college, as his world begins to fall apart due to his mom's failing health and the reappearance of his father after 16 years. Curtis confides in a therapist whom he interns for, about the things he is going through, who recommends that Curtis start writing it all down in his journal so he can explore his thoughts and feelings ala a note to self. While struggling with his issues, Curtis is caught in a love triangle between his "friend with benefits" and a student nurse who happens to be a full time pessimist on the subject of love and men. Curtis inevitably learns in this journey of self-realization that he must release his mother, regain his father, find true love, graduate, and finally understand his note to self."
Of the film Christian Keyes said:
It gives me chills to see something that you worked so hard on for seven years be born into the world and now the world gets to see it. I am so grateful!
While Letoya Luckett added:
I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised! It's funny, it's moving, it's sweet, it's sad. It takes you through this emotional rollercoaster, and you will enjoy the ride.

'Note To Self' hits stores on October 2nd!

Video: How I remove my makeup
October 30, 2012 | 3 comments so far - join the discussion!
Removing your make up after each day is the most important step of your preparation to sleep.
I wear foundation/powder/BB Cream every single day (working days and weekends) so make up removal is a critical step for me. Many girls seem to confuse "removing make up" with "cleansing face"… both steps are critical.
To end each day, I typically start off with wet wipes to remove my face makeup. I've tried a few different brands and you can go with each ever one you think is the most effective for you.
For eyes & lips, I've found that Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) has worked the best. It's pure, natural and removes stubborn waterproof makeup without having to tug onto your skin (which causes wrinkles and aging).
With that, you have completed the steps of "makeup removal".
Lastly, you must cleanse your face. This means.. removing any remnants of the EVOO or residue from the wet wipes.
By the time I get to this step, I tend to be quite lazy. I feel like I've already removed my make up and don't want to have to double cleanse my face..
This is where.. Clearasil Perfectawash is handy!
With the ease of an on & off switch and a simple touch, Clearasil's Perfecta Wash automatically dispenses exactly 1.5mL of product to cleanse your face. No more wastage of products when you accidently squeeze out too little or much!
Including the second cleanse in your routine can be frustrating to include but you must include it as a habit.

In the wake of a middleweight shuffle that left Ed Herman (21-9 MMA, 8-5 UFC) without an opponent at UFC 167, Thales Leites (21-4 MMA, 6-3 UFC) has stepped up to fight.
The onetime middleweight title challenger will meet Herman on the Nov. 16 card, according to "UFC Tonight" and sources close to the promotion, who confirmed the matchup to MMAjunkie.com.
UFC 167 takes place Nov. 16 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena. It's unknown whether Herman vs. Leites will serve on the FOX Sports 1-televised preliminary card or the Facebook-streamed early prelims

Saturday, October 26, 2013
It wasn't exactly an ideal time to have to reach for a backup quarterback.
But Dominique Jefferson was more than ready for the challenge.
Jefferson, a sophomore in waiting, ignited the Goose Creek Gators during a crucial stretch in the second quarter as they extended their win streak to 35 games with a 49-21 win over Wando on Friday.
"I was really impressed with (Jefferson)," said Gators coach Chuck Reedy, whose team improved to 9-0 overall and 2-0 in Region 7-AAAA. "He came in and did a heckuva job… He made some good throws and had some good runs. The game was certainly in doubt at that time and he stepped in and did a great job."
Jefferson's 15-yard touchdown run on a fourth-down play gave the Gators a 20-14 lead with 2:50 left in the first half.
"We let him make the read and he made the play," Reedy said.
Later, he found receiver Jordan Barnes in the back corner of the end zone for a 10-yard scoring strike with five seconds left in the half to make it 35-21.
Starting quarterback Dantez Bennamon returned in the third quarter from an ankle injury to toss two touchdowns, one a 9-yarder to Dijon Profit and the other a 12-yarder to Barnes for the rest of the points the Gators needed.
For a stretch, starting running back Caleb Kinlaw was out with an injury too after racing 70 yards for Goose Creek's first score late in the first quarter.
And junior Tyrik Johnson filled in admirably again.
Johnson's 46-yarder capped Jefferson's second drive in for Bennamon and put the Gators on top for good with 47 seconds left in the half. Deondre Daniels added the two-point conversion run as Goose Creek led 28-21.
After a Shaquille Salley fumble recovery, Jefferson's touchdown pass to Barnes seemed to squash Wando's upset hopes.
"Wando played hard," Reedy said. "Some times you've got to win when you don't play your best."
The Warriors fell to 3-6 overall and 1-2 in Region 7-AAAA games.
Like Bennamon, Kinlaw also returned in the second half. He finished with 135 yards rushing and the one long touchdown. Bennamon ran for 66 yards and passed for 106 on 5 of 11 through the air.
Jefferson added 46 yards rushing and Johnson chipped in 39 yards. Fullback Evan McField had 62 yards and scored on a 1-yard plunge during Goose Creek's 28-point second quarter.
Daniels had two catches for 74 yards and both of Barnes' catches were touchdowns.
The Gators amassed 510 yards of total offense and held Wando down to 261 yards despite a good first half by the Warriors.
William Coleman had touchdown strikes of 12 and 44 yards to Trevor Behrens in the first quarter as Wando led 14-7.
Trevor Pederson scored on a 5-yard run with 1:38 left in the half to give the Warriors a 21-20 lead before Goose Creek came alive to put up 29 unanswered points.
Wando had 169 yards in the first half but had less than 100 in the second half.
"I think we kind of settled in to what they were doing," Goose Creek defensive coordinator Chris Candor said. "We made some adjustments and got a feel for the game. We did a good job tackling in space. I thought Maurice Bonneau-Gailliard had his best game out there, making tackles on a pretty athletic running back (Kenny Waring)."
Daylin Julius had an interception for the Gators.
The Gators host West Ashley on Thursday night in a Region 7-AAAA contest that will be televised locally. West Ashley.
The Wildcats lost to Stratford 21-0 on Friday to fall to 5-4 overall and 0-2 in region play. Still, they're much improved from last fall when they went 1-10.
"They're a much better football team," Reedy said. "They're looking at having a winning record. They've got some good athletes and we've got a short week. We've got some guys banged up so we'll have our hands full."

I would not recomend this machine. it is also difficult to install belts. I can live with it but it sure does frustrate me and I wish I had found an alternative to buy.

Still has its novelty!
I wasnt really sure how I'd use this but I bought it because I'm a gadget freak and found myself constantly checking it out in airport Brookstone stores. Turns out I love it.
I wasnt really sure how I'd use this but I bought it because I'm a gadget freak and found myself constantly checking it out in airport Brookstone stores. Turns out I love it.
The speakers are actually pretty good for its size, even though I typically use a separate $20 bluetooth speaker i bought separately.
I travel a ton, and I bought a $10 twinsize white sheet that I binderclip to my hotel room's shades, and within 2 min I have a 80 inch screen.
I've tried it with my iphone, ipad, and even a google chromcast (for which the USB power port works perfectly) and it works great with all of those. I've connected my external speaker via bluetooth and also through a cord (the projector has an audio out port), and also used it with bluetooth headphones. My next plan is to use it outdoors for a movie night under the stars.
My ownly wishes are that the USB port could be used as input (which some projectors do), that it had a remote, that it had auto keystone (to correct the trapezoid dimension if you hold it on an angle), and that it be just a little brighter. But all-in-all, for the price, it's awesome. I'm seriously thinking of getting more of these to give as gifts.

I've had this projector for 1 year and a 3 months and used it very little. It worked great the few times I did use it until it stopped working completely. When I called to see if I could get it serviced I was told that since it had been over a year I was out of luck. The projector was rated to last 20,000 hours and I got about 100 hours of use out of it with no way of fixing it. Would not purchase this product.

Comments about Pocket Projector Mobile, 100 Lumens:
I have used this during Board of Directors Meetings and Homeowners Association Meetings when standard projectors and laptops were not readily available. I used it to watch movies from a laptop while traveling in Germany. It works great for the most part, but the screen goes blank and flashes on and off in the middle of presentations when connected to my Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. This may be a setting issue on my phone, but I have been unable to resolve it and it has caused some embarrassing moments during presentations when the screen goes blank or flickers on and off.

This projector is great. Picture is awesome
in a dark room. Picture is great even in
a room with light. No worry with a presentation, can see very well. I bought a nice aux speaker
so we could have movie sound. mini tripod is a
little clumsy because cords pull it over, but once
you get it set up it's fine. I'm going to buy a
better tripod for mine. Several of my co-workers
have bought one since I took it to work and did
a show and tell. 1 year warranty was a good feature also. In the mall the more expensive model's picture looked darker but we opted for this one due to price and after we got it home we are thrilled the picture is awesome.

Comments about Pocket Projector Mobile, 100 Lumens:
I have the 65 lumens 1080 HD model. I have very good color. Brighter model will be nicer. I have found that getting the 1080 image will be very hard to get. Projector screens will distort the image and light refraction will also give distortion. Different finishes react with light absorption. A very good image could be gotten if one makes a screen using knowledge of light refraction, absorption, reflection and material used. Example is that I have one projector screen that took the image around 240 and one that to around 780 at the same distant.

The picture quality was better than I thought and so easy to set up. The sound is fine if you're in a small room but I think if we were to use it for outdoor movies we would need to hook up to some external speakers. Other than that I'm super happy with the purchase.

We gave this to my 11-year-old son for his birthday, and he's been 'playing' with it every day since. So easy to use... He hooks it up to a DVD player or his iPad (iPad cable NOT included) and instantly we're watching movies and games on the big screen. Originally, we didn't get him a screen... I ordered him one the day after he got the projector. It made such a huge difference- sharper, clearer, easy. The room does not have to be pitch black to see the video... A bonus, since most of our viewing takes place in his bedroom.
Worth the price!
Don't forget to order an iPad cable if needed...
And get a screen ;)

I bought this projector so my kids (one who is wheel chair bound) can have outdoor movie night with their friends and family. We got it and set it up literally in minutes. We watch Friday the 13th on the wall in the living room. We attached the audio to a guitar amp....fantastic!! LOVE IT!! What a great buy!!

This is one of our best purchases to date! We take it everywhere, when we travel and use it in our hotel, in the apartment on the wall, and just when we want to have a movie night! Why buy a HUGE screen tv for thousands when you can have ANY screen tv for only a couple hundred? We use it to play our video games on and hook up to our laptops! We love this projector! Even a couple of our friends have now gotten one and they love it too!

Bought this for my husband's birthday. He is a lover of all sorts of gadgets. He has not stopped talking about how much he loves this projector. I decided on this one mostly because how easy it was to use. You could literally plug it into your phone and it would be good to go. He takes it everywhere. He mostly loves taking it outside while he sits and drinks his coffee. You will find him out there streaming the football game on the side of our house :). It's a definite pleaser.

I love this necklace, 1 is bold but 2 is fierce I love this necklace, I wore it once and got a great wow factor, I am getting ready to order a second one and layer it to make it my statement piece. May 17, 2013
FIERCE!!! I love this necklace. You can pair it up with another necklace for a "tough" look or keep it simple by wearing it solo. It looks great with white or black. I bought this to wear with my leather pyramid bracelet and am not disappointed....Perfect accessory, I just hope the color doesn't varnish/peel. Just in case I am painting it with a clear coat of nail polish. February 21, 2013

Atchawee Luisiri, M.D. 1949-2011
Devoted teacher and physician, pediatric radiologist Atchawee Luisiri, M.D., who was professor of radiology at Saint Louis University, passed away on Feb. 24.
|Atchawee Luisiri, M.D.
Born in Bangkok, Thailand, Luisiri helped sick children in St. Louis for the last 34 years. After receiving her bachelor of sciences degree from Mahidol University and doctor of medicine degree from Ramathibodi Hospital School of Medicine, both in Bangkok, she completed a diagnostic radiology residency and a fellowship in pediatric radiology at Saint Louis University.
Luisiri was board certified in pediatric radiology and held a secondary appointment as assistant professor in the department of pediatrics and adolescent medicine at Saint Louis University. She also was the director of the pediatric radiology division at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center.
Michael Wolverson, M.D., chair of the department of radiology at SLU, noted Luisiri's skill with patients and students as well as her dedication to her job.
"Dr. Luisiri was a very dedicated pediatric radiologist, well-respected by the entire community. Her passing is truly a very sad loss.
"She was really excellent with patients, very capable and very dedicated. She was a good teacher, as well."
Luisiri wrote numerous book chapters and papers advancing the field of medical imaging and improving doctors' ability to use imaging equipment, including ultrasound, CT and MRI. Her work covered many areas, from spina bifida, a common spine birth defect, to radiology and child abuse.
She was a member of the Radiological Society of North America, the American College of Radiology, the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine, the Midwest Society for Pediatric Radiology, the Greater St. Louis Society of Radiologists, the Society of Pediatric Radiology and the Thai Physician Association of America.
In 2008 and 2010, she was named one of St. Louis's "Best Docs."
Gregory Launius, M.D., assistant professor of radiology at Saint Louis University, reflected on Luisiri's devotion to children and education.
"She was wonderful, a really outstanding educator. She encouraged residents who were having difficult times. She had high standards for students to help them improve, and it was all in the service of kids.
"I can't begin to tell you the hours she gave to residents and patients. She was tireless, really devoted to children. She would do anything for them."
"She was an impeccable professional with a kind heart. She is the reason I work here today."
Ece Isin Akduman M.D., associate professor of radiology at Saint Louis University, completed her residency and fellowship with Luisiri, and remembers her mentor as a wonderful teacher.
"Year after year, she would teach with such enthusiasm. She was a walking library. I learned everything from her. She would quiz us about patient cases. With each clue that we discovered, 25 cents would go in a box. At the end of the month, she'd buy candy for us with the money.
"Plus, she herself loved to learn. If there was something she didn't know, she'd find the right book and look it up. Learning was fun for her.
"And, she really loved her patients. She thought the best part of her job was, after seeing a child, to give them a hug and then give them back to their parents."
Luisiri is survived by her mother and siblings in Bangkok. Services were held on Feb. 25 and 26.

Read more after the break!
I'll be honest and say I have never been a fan of Bluetooth stereo headphones but Motorola's S305 has recently made me a fan. All of you active people out there can put these headphones to good use. Heck, with what these headphones actually bring to the table, you can take full advantage of them while lounging around your home.
In the box you get the S305 wireless stereo headphones, microUSB travel charger, and getting started guide. Syncing to your iPhone is a breeze and once you are all set up you can enjoy your music and phone calls with high performance and remarkable wireless sound up to 33 feet - priceless.
For those of you who are not a fan of in-ear earbuds, you are in luck with the S305's very comfy setup. These headphones are extremely lightweight and fit comfortably with the out of ear 1.2-inch pods. On the outside of one of the pod's housing you get some controls - audio track navigation, volume, and call controls. Along with the comfortable fit you also get a excellent battery life. Expect a talk time of up 6.5 hours, music time of 6 hours, and standby time of up to 4 days.
The Motorola MOTOROKR S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones are not too shabby. With their very low price point of $49.95, you can't go wrong.

Motorola MOTOROKR S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones for iPhone 3GS & iPhone 3G
This site is becoming more and more about "reviewing" merchandise you sell in your online store. I know you have to pay the bills but isn't the 1/3 of this forum that is occupied with ads already enough?
Sorry you feel that way. We run one (1) product highlight, done by a writer who's free to write anything they want, good, bad, or ugly, and run it on the same day every week -- Wednesday -- out of 70-140 regular posts. We work very hard to create the best experience we can while still "paying the bills" as you put it.
Rather than "more and more" we're doing considerably more with less, and will hopefully continue to improve.
Your product "spotlight" is also a little missleading. These are in no way "made for iPhone" honestly they barely work with iPhones. The track navigation you mentioned WILL NOT WORK ON IPHONE. Does not work with voice control. It will play and pause and change volume. And changing volume must be done on the headset as the iPhone can't control stereo bluetooth volume.
Just a note from an actual active person who goes to the gym. Headphones with fabric covers that rest on the ears will last you about 3 weeks. The fabric dissolves SO quickly when it's soaked with sweat.
Also, if you actually work out (which means lots of motion as opposed to sitting on a stationary bike for 40 minutes and pretending that's a workout), you need in-ear buds or you're going to be spending all your time adjusting them.
These headphones look fine for sitting at a desk or maybe driving, but for exercise they're utterly useless.
@JoeH no problems with the fabric here as well. Some people prefer the in ear style. I simply don't.
@Evilhomer - if anything that comes my way sucks - I'm honest about it and I'll say they do. Trust me. For the cost of these, excellent pick up.
@Jeremy/Rene: If it's only one post a week then I suppose I am guilty of exaggerating the quantity. It just seems that when you do review a product it's, from what I remember, always in your store and I can't remember the last time I read a post where the product was given an extremely bad review.
Perhaps you are just very careful not to write about the really bad ones from your sponsors?
Anyway, thanks for the response and I'll watch the product reviews a little more closely in the future before commenting. My memory just ain't what it used to be so I may be unfairly judging you.
Which Sony Ericsons...the HBH-IS800? Does anyone know if this will be 100% functional when OS 3.1 is introduced to iPhone?
I just ordered these headphones due to this blog post, as they've gotten very high customer reviews elsewhere on the internet.
@evilhomer and others...
God forbid if TiPb plugs their own store. You guys really need to relax and get out more. It's a website that has a store and is trying to make a little money. It's call "free enterprise" for God sakes. :|
It's up to a site to do "faked" or "biased" reviews.
Do it enough, and people get burned.
Burned people don't visit your site.
So...that being the case, do you guys/gals think they're going to risk it with BS reviews?
I don't.
I hope not.
I was in the market for this exact item, and I was glad to see it here.
If they suck, I bring the site down ;)
I have had the Motorola S9 HD Bluetooth stereo headphones for a couple months now, and have been very pleased with them. They are semi in-ear without blocking the ear canal like true in-ear headphones do.
I have run at least 30 miles with them, and have worn them while vigorously working out with weights at least a half dozen times. Yeah, I also agree that the stationary bike is a 'less than optimal' workout.
I use them with a 3GS usually while streaming a podcast (sometimes tiPb podcast). Don't have an armband yet, so hold the iPhone in my hands while running. At the gym, I'll rest the phone in a central spot of the gym and workout without fear of crushing the phone. In both cases, I've been amazed that the iPhone can both stream audio and rebroadcast to my headset without missing a beat.
Volume is strong, and clarity is very good, though not as good as some of the better wired headphones, such as my $175 B&O's. But for the money, I don't know of Bluetooth headset that is as comfortable, clear, easy to use as this design is.
The only downside is that they aren't designed for listening while lying down with your head on a pillow. For that, I use my B&O's. But I find that I use these about 95% of the time, and I just leave the wired B&O's by my bed.
@Dexter: I find it very hypocritical for someone posting on a board to tell another poster of the same board to "relax and get out more".
I posted my opinion and if you don't like it, you need to relax and get out more. I don't think I'm in the wrong in insinuating that writing positive reviews about products that you sell could be considered biased. Whether they actually are or not depends on whether you agree with the review after buying the product. The difference between you and I is that I've actually purchased and returned this product to Fry's. I think the ONLY good thing about these are the price point. IMHO, they do not sound that great and are not that comfortable. So, after my PERSONAL experience with the headset, I'd say it's overrated here.
That being said, I purchased the new Jabra HALO and found it to be an amazing product. Had this review been about that product, and they wrote as positive review, I'd have been less suspicious about them promoting their Store over a fair, unbiased review.
As I pointed out previously, at least 1/3 of the space on this site is an ad or link back to the TiPB store, so I don't think they are lacking properly promoting it on their site, nor am I begrudging them the right to do so. I simply pointed out an perception that I had formed when it comes to the product reviews.
So, if that bothers YOU enough to come running to their defense, which I believe the author has already adequately done, and take time out of YOUR day to post your issue with my statement, I would suggest that you follow your own advice and "relax and get out more".
I've had these since just after the 3GS came out. They're pretty good. The over-the-ear design appeals to me. And no the fabric covers haven't dissolved yet despite a lot of use working out in the gym (the main place I use them). I do have trouble occasionally pairing them (seems like they pair and then unpair if I don't press play quickly enough) and ocassionally the play/pause button is unresponsive (likely an iPhone failing). As mentioned above, the track change buttons don't work with the iPhone and you can't change volume from the iPhone itself. My pairing problems may be related to the fact that I often try to pair just shortly after turning off my car- which pairs with my iPhone via the Hands free profile. The audio quality seems good and I enjoy using them at the gym.
With the Iphone tech bein so up to par, why Apple wouldn't make bluetooth headphones that uses all the voice, an ablilty to change songs..is beyond me but I realize 4th quater is on the way an I'm sure ya'll are on the case....Iphonefan!!
I have used the S305's with my 3GS for about a week, now. I generally like them. However, I have had trouble with the connection starting and stopping and stuttering soon after pairing. Once I get a good pairing they are great. They are light and comfortable and the sound quality is good enough for my ears. For "A1by" above, I may not have a Barry Bonds sized head, but my hat size is 7 7/8 and they fit me fine, whereas some others I have tried been too tight. I was able to use them for voice dialing just fine. It WOULD be nice to have the "next track" feature.
Way cool!!! I wish my brother-in-law would get me one for Christmas. That would be super sweet dude!!!
@jtz5: I think you were thinking of the Bluetooth handsfree profile, not A2DP, A2DP is for stereo music playback only. iPhone OS 3.x supports A2DP playback fine, but neither the control buttons nor the microphone would work..yet.
If you just want to listen to some music I bet any Sony Ericsson stereo phone would work, I have a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 and my iPod Touch works fine with it.
Sound quality on this pair of speakers is really quite good, especially for the price and the fact that it is wireless. Noticeably better than the Logitech Wireless Chat which itself is not that shabby.
Pairing with Nokia 5800 Xpress music is the best, the forward/backward controls work, volume control can be done on both phone and headset (a good thing). Also, talking on phone works great, with both speakers working along with the mic, unlike some devices for which you only get one side working.
Pairing with iPhone 3GS also good, but supposedly the controls don't work. Volume control is exclusively on the headset, a bit awkward.
Pairing with Windows 7 x64 (on a Macbook, ymmv on other devices) is an exercise in frustration. It just wouldn't work, even though the OS reports finding the device.
Pairing with OS X just works, BUT... you can only use either the headphone profile OR the microphone profile, so you can't use it to listen to music and voice control. The headphone profile gives the correct sound, but the headset profile gives terrible sound which is probably what the poster above is complaining about. The headset profile will allow you to listen and use the mic at the same time however.
By "unlike some devices for which you only get one side working", I mean unlike the MOTOROKR S9 which reportedly only uses one side of the headset when doing phone calls...
By "Logitech Wireless Chat", I meant the "ClearChat PC Wireless"... sorry...
Many thanks for that important data. It was very helpful for me. Retain sharing such tips in the future as properly.
I bought a pair of JVC bluetooth headphones back in 2002 and HATED them. They were bulky and heavy - completely useless for running. It's now 8 years later & I saw a deal on the Motorola S305 bt headphones for $24. I figured for that price, I could give 'em a try. I have been AMAZED at the quality of these headphones! I can put them on and run for miles and often forget that I even have them on. They are very light and comfortable and the sound quality is great. I've had them paired with a Blackberry and an iPhone 3GS and synching was a snap. I can take calls if I choose while listening to music and they are crystal clear - both for me and the other party. The side controls worked great when paired with the Blackberry. When paired with the iPhone 3GS, however, it seems like I can play and pause music but not skip songs. Some other things that could make them better:
1)The fabric has held up for the past few months, but once a little tear happens then it's all over, I'm sure. It IS comfortable on the ears though.
2)The plastic loop connecting the earpieces sometimes gets a little lopsided when carried in a gym bag. I'm not sure if using a solid metal strip is the answer here - it would just add to the weight. It's a minor annoyance & I'm just careful not to stuff them in a place where they are going to get crushed.
I like these headphones so much that I bought a second pair to keep at work & one for home. I recommend these to anyone.

Following his family's successful Fishing Holiday in Portugal at the Quinta, Christophe sent me this lovely film he made while here fishing with Paulo Jorge Ramos, the World Wide-mouthed Bass Champion. I think they enjoyed themselves! So, notwithstanding the Quinta's reputation as a birding and nature hotspot, it's not all about those past-times, not by a long cast!!

In fairness, it is worth noting that there is a healthy discussion on the Darkfall forums about whether or not Aventurine should add more mechanisms to protect players who prefer a non-pvp gaming environment, by including a Highsec / Trammel equivalent or (more likely) making improvements to the alignment system used in Df 1.0.

Gala I might be interested in playing then.
If its half way between df1 and eve / perpetuum, I admit with the skill based combat it sounds awesome.
Just hope there's some good UK clans.

alignment would work synergistically with a Security system, they're not separate mechanisms...

There was a blog post by the developers at some point where they stated they wanted to make NPC racial cities (i.e. cities where alignmnent matters) a no-PvP zone regardless of guild relations (in the current game, a member belonging to a guild that is at war with another guild will not trigger the security towers inside an NPC city if attacked by an opposing guild member).

Game that split servers in PvE and PvP is PvE game, Darkfall is a PvP focused game, so I think that this requisition is stupid, just my opinion.
Can you imagine a Darkfall without siege? without political aspect? without risk?
In UO these types of requisition gave us Trammel, I don't think that Trammel was a good thing for UO as I think that PvE server isn't a good thing for Darkfall.
Darkfall isn't for everyone, have alot of game with this focus, I never ask in LOTRO, SWTOR, GW2, etc a full loot PvP server, why these carebear ask a PvE server in Darkfall? Accept the risk or go out, it's the core feature of the game.
Sorry for my english, isn't my first language.

I wonder how many of these people who are pro-PvE server never even played the game, or played and still dont understand this. The game does not consist of everyone in the game just running around freely killing eachother with no consequence. There IS an alignment system in place.
As long as youre on the same side (ie: human, dwarf, and elf) killing someone else of the same alignment results iny ou losing alignment and IIRC after like 2 kills you go red. Going red means you can no longer enter the "good" (human/dawrf/elf) cities else the towers attack you. The only time there is no penalty to alignment is if you kill an opposing faction or a clan you are at war with.
With this in mind, youre generally somewhat safe in your own racial areas as long as your not currently at war with another clan. If youre in a clan thats at war with someone else, you should EXPECT PvP. If raiders from an opposing faction or red (lost alignment / murderers) come and start attacking blue players, just call it out and youll usually get backup to come and take them out.
Open PvP is not a new thing isolated to just DF. In any open PvP game you have similar opposing factions & alignment systems allowing you to easily pick out who you need to worry about. Its not everyone running around ganking everyone else they can find. Yeah once in awhile you might get attacked by a blue who decided its time to go red, but theyll quickly go red and be free for attacking by you and the others without losing your own alignment.
You guys act like its just a FFA killing spree with no rules / systems.

Darkfall is a niche game and can't survive with this, look for EvE, a niche game that can survive with about 350k player because keep the developing centralized, Darkfall isn't a block buster with 1 million or more of player base and never will be, with or without PvE server, so need keep developing centralized as EvE for survive, it's a niche game.
PvP isn't exclusive feature but is the CORE feature of the game, just a quote by one developer perspective:
"Darkfall is a massively multiplayer online (mmo) game with a strong focus on player-versus-player interaction. "
A game can't working correctly without your CORE feature, a PvE server will remove this feature, so this is bad for the game.

Many people have the playstyle to stay around the racial 'newbie' cities and help defend against reds. It's what they enjoy doing, just like some people enjoy ganking every chance they get.
You should expect to be attacked in Darkfall though. If you're fighting a monster and you're low HP and there's someone lurking around you, you should expect them to try to kill you. This is why the game is so clan and politically oriented. It's not a game for the solo players, though many have succeeded in that playstyle, the game is all about clan mechanics. Find/start a clan, get away from the starting cities and live out of a player holding. If you live out of a player city then you have an area around the holding that is relatively secure and you can do your PvE, crafting, and gathering in that area to avoid the majority of danger.
There are plenty of guilds who want to play the game on their own little island with few reds around, if you want a more PvE expierence I would suggest finding one of those clans/alliances. These alliances are usually not the best PvP players but what they lack in skill they make up for in numbers. PvP skill is not everything in Darkfall, if your goal is a relative 'safe zone' or world domination then your political skills will take you a lot closer to your goal than any amount of PvP skills.

If pve players can sustain their developer team and I know they will " you have a lot more pve players then pvp players " who will just work for pve server and pvp server have it's own team working on maintaining pvp server? then it's just two different games which will not conflict in any way with each other, I can't understand why not have pve server as well.
Why did DF developers desided to create new game in the first place? lack of support from player base, that is the main reason why.
They could not maintain DF in time because of a small team, they could not afford to hire more people to fix the game when income is lower then expenses.
Clearly pvpers could not sustain DF as a whole.
Every game developer is looking for a way to make money, not just have enough to sustain their project and definitely not loosing money.

You will note that they decided to go ahead and create a "new game" which was again, PVP centric and again aimed at an audience capable of enjoying PVP or at least realising that it is a core feature of said PVP game.
You will also note that given they found it easier to make a new game then overhaul the old one, well the old "oh just make a PVE server, it will be easy" argument is completely blown out of the water. Major updates have taken years, converting the game to a PVE centric one... lol good joke there.
Btw developers do no doubt look for ways to make money. Some developers though look for ways to make money from the audience they were aiming their game at, along with others capable of at least "getting" the game. Not every developer sells out/rips apart their core plan, just to cash grab from a market the game was never intended for in the first place.

@ Bunnyhopper
You're wasting your time arguing with these people. Every single page of this thread is full of rational, logical, explanations of why a PVE server will never happen, yet some guys just keep asking "but why not?"
Really, where are the mods?

Anyway I dont think youre really getting the point, even though youve kind of said it yourself. "have 2 seperate teams treating it like 2 completely different games". Theres your answer. If you want to play a different game than DF, why not just, you know, go play a different game.
Maybe one day this company will make a different game focused on PvE, and you can play that. But that is not what Darkfall is, and not sure why you insist they should make it a completely different game when completely different games that offer PvE instead of PvP, exactly like youre asking for, already exist.
Its like going to a pizza shop and insisting they start serving ice cream, when theres an ice cream shop next door. Then when they tell you as much, you keep insisting you want ice cream and theyre just like "Dude. Go next door. Theres ice cream there, we dont serve it here" and instead of going next door you just keep insisting "But I want ice cream".

In my understanding " full sandbox pvp game " is the one without any type of NPC, there are animals which give you animal parts no gold, silver and coper nor any type of metal resources and finished product, everything is created by players and players only.
If you have all those things in DFUW then it is still a fully suported pve game, no matter how you put it out.
For those who deffend DFUW, is wrong, that this is full pvp game, you only have permanent pvp flag in pve environment.
Does Darkfall have safe zones?
There are no safe zones in Darkfall unless the players themselves create them or seek them out.
So how can I stay safe?
You are never really safe.
Is Darkfall a Player vs. Player (PvP) game?
Darkfall is THE PvP game. There is full interaction between the players without any restrictions but with accountability through the alignment system
Will you offer a world without PvP for those of us that do not enjoy it?
We like to think of Darkfall as a game where there are no restrictions to player interaction that don't make sense. The fantasy literature and mythology that inspired fantasy based RPGs contains conflict, combat and warfare and its part of what made these worlds so dramatic, the characters so heroic, and the endings so rewarding. Having said that, we're sorry, but do not offer a softer version of Darkfall.
I don't like PvP, why should I even consider trying out Darkfall?
If you give it a chance, you'll discover that Darkfall is an extremely well rounded game.
How are you going to handle Player Killing?
Anyone can attack anyone. In fact Darkfall encourages you to seek out and kill enemies of your race and your clan.
Whilst that little lot is taken from the original games FAQ, it is clear as day why there is no PVE servers for the Darkfall franchise. It's a pvp game, it does though offer gameplay outside of pvp (but intrinsically linked to it) for those people who "give it a chance" and don't whine about "PVE servers plox!!!".
DFUW is not a pvp game it has pvp aspects and only aspects, it is fully supported pve game.
PVP game would have resources to defend, teritory controll, no npc of any kind, etc....
DFUW is NPC supported, and it is fully pve game.
Xsyon is closer to pvp game not DFUW.
The only boundry to be full pve is that permanent pvp flag.

Remake or no remake, good effort or not, all of my teenage children have watched IT with me recently and with all the new movies with there stunning special effects that they all watch today I was waiting for the boos and jeers and drink cans to be thrown in my direction but all of them really loved it. One has even starting to read the book.
Considering the original barely does justice to the book, I can't see a new movie being any better.
Though they could show some of the more horrific moments if they're not bound by FCC television standards.
I would be first in line to see a new IT movie if one was to come out, whether or not I would like the film is impossible to say, if however it encourages more people to read the book which I love then that could only be a good thing. Think its really a case of wait and see with this one though
I think somebody like Neil Gaiman is capable of potentially writing a sequel or prequel and that could potentially made into a Netflix original production. I would love to see a piece dealing with small town America in the late 1890s or another period of time based upon the book scene in the movie. Perhaps another group of people, different types of people with different issues, tried to spot ''it'' and failed. Or what if it was more evil, what if ''they let it win''. Or what if they gave up and left?
I just watched the 1990 TV made version tonight (for about the 10th time, lol). Every time I re-read the book, it scares me more than the TV version. I'd love to watch a version (film, cable, etc) that remains true to the story, time period, etc. but perhaps ramps it up a bit. But until then, I'll just continue to re-read one of my favorite novels.
There were good points to the TV movie (TIM CURRY, is what I'm thinking first The director also did a nifty job on cuts from past to present and back), but on the whole... meh. No book has ever scared me more, though, so I might be a bit picky :P
What I've read lately is that someone (memory fails right now) has a plan to do it as two movies. Very tired of that schtick, to be honest.

NeighborWorks Toledo (NTR) releases economic impact studyWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
NeighborWorks Toledo (NTR), a local nonprofit charity focusing on housing development, released an economic impact study showing a $105 million contribution to the local economy over the past five years.
The organization focuses on community development, providing services in homebuyer education, energy conservation, foreclosure mitigation, real estate development, asset management, and mortgage lending and brokering activities.
Executive Director of NTR, William Farnsel, feels that housing development is the best place to begin to revive poor areas and stimulate the economy.
"We are a community development corporation and part of the mission is to find ways to help with resident satisfaction in the neighborhood, and in this day, we've had a lot of issue with housing. We've had population loss, we've had abandonment of existing structures, and abandoned houses are breeding places for crime and mischief. Whether it's dealing with the vacant properties and turning them into something that is useful for the neighborhood, or getting them demolished and putting new housing on, we want to help. It seems like housing is a consistent topic of concern in neighborhood areas," Farnsel said.
Farnsel also sees a need for this type of service specifically in Toledo.
"In Toledo, there are two things going on. Toledo is losing population, and that's causing abandonment. Second, the housing that is left behind is obsolete. It's obsolete from a energy-efficiency standpoint. It's obsolete from a safety standpoint. Common construction practices seventy or eighty years ago are now seen as being unsafe from an environmental standpoint," Farnsel said.
Because so many houses are unusable, the organization focuses heavily on creating housing that is up-to-date and made to be durable and energy-efficient. Farnsel sees benefit in making houses more efficient, and thus, more affordable.
"As we think about managing the land we have, it seems like a smart idea to come back with housing that is modern and friendly to the environment, and above all, energy efficient, so that people who live in the housing pay less for their utilities, and can better afford the housing," he said.
The organization also focuses on education related to housing and community development, including counseling and educational programs such as Home Buyer Education and Foreclosure Prevention. Funding for the organization stems from private donors, the local business community, and government institutions.
The study, conducted by New England Market Research, was released on October 9 and examined the organization's contribution from 2008 to 2012. In addition to the $105 million contribution to the local economy, the study showed that NTR sustained over 228 jobs annually, making $46 million in income for local workers, and generated $12 million in tax revenue. For every $1 received in private and public funding, NTR leveraged $3.62.
The study itself accounts for direct and indirect economic impacts; tax revenue, sustained employment, contribution to local labor income, and economic activities such as physical construction all factored into the study.
NTR is a member of the NeighborWorks Collaborative of Ohio (NCO), which consists of nine similar organizations across the state, which are in Toledo, Cleveland, Ravenna, Akron, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Hamilton, and Springfield. These organizations collaborate to provide services to every region in Ohio, and provide programs such as homebuyer education, foreclosure prevention and financial literacy.
More than 70,000 individuals and families have received help from NCO since 2006. During the years studied, 2008 to 2012, NCO contributed nearly $1.4 billion to Ohio's economy. NCO has also sustained 2,347 jobs on an annual basis, generating $516 million in income for Ohio workers.
The study reinforces the work the organization has been doing, and shows just how important community development is to the local economy, Farnsel said.
Farnsel feels that the most important impact the organization is having is on individual families and on making housing more affordable for the community at large. He sees potential in the organization to make groundwork for future generations to continue to live and thrive in Toledo.
"In most cases where we are able to have a positive impact on someone's family life, it is helping someone find housing they can afford– helping someone find housing that is going to be a place where a family is can sink roots and contribute to the neighborhood. It comes right down to individual, personal stories. Having a stable family life connected to a neighborhood helps create a foundation for children to have an environment where they can grow and thrive." Farnsel said.
Farnsel is excited to see how much the organization has contributed to the local economy, but also values the personal effects these past years have had on community members.
"Aside from all the numbers, it really comes down to can you positively affect someone's life. The satisfying thing for me is to actually see someone sink roots in a neighborhood and create a stable environment for an entire family," Farnsel said.

IRVINE, Calif. - The Cal State Northridge men, led by Chris Russo's seventh-place finish, are third while the Matador women's team is sixth after the first day of the Folino Invitational at Oak Creek G.C.
The CSUN men are third in the 54-hole tournament following rounds of 294-292. The Matadors (586) trail host Cal State Fullerton (580) by six shots and Cal Poly (583) by three in the 10-team field.
"We're just not finishing our rounds as a team," said head coach Jim Bracken. "We're playing our last few holes over par as a team and as soon as we can get over that hump we'll be in contention to win some tournaments."
Russo is in position for his first collegiate win as he sits one shot back of a group of six golfers who share the lead after two rounds. Russo is currently tied with Dakota Duerr of Cal State Fullerton at one over-par 142 after he posted rounds of 71-72 on Monday.
"Chris is only one shot back and he bogeyed his last two holes and still shot 72," said Bracken.
Matt Siporin is also in the top-10 after two rounds as he carded rounds of 74-71 to sit in a tie for ninth at three over-par 145. Siporin was tied for 21st after his opening round 74 but his second round of even-par 71 moved him into a tie for ninth.
Elsewhere, senior Nick Delio is tied for 26th at eight over-par 150 following back-to-back rounds of 75. Freshman Jake Katz is also tied for 26th after posting rounds of 76-74 and Satch Herrmann is tied for 33rd at (+11) 153 after rounds of 74-79.
"We're looking forward to good round tomorrow and we'll see if we can't win our first tournament," added Bracken.
In the women's competition on Monday, the Matadors completed 18 holes at 328 and trail team-leading Portland State by 25 shots. Long Beach State (306) is second, UC Irvine (310) is third, Cal Poly (314) is fourth and Cal State Fullerton (318) is fifth in the eight-team field.
Junior Lady Samson, playing as an individual, is the only CSUN golfer among the top-20 as she is tied for ninth with an opening round five over-par 77. Margo Dionsio and Kylie Kimura are both just out of the top-20 as the duo is tied for 21st with an opening round nine over-par 81.
Also for Northridge, Ellen Krausse is tied for 25th at (+10) 82, Clariss Guce is 33rd at (+12) 84 and Jennel Alexander is tied for 41st at (+17) 89.
Both teams will play a final round of 18 holes on Tuesday.

Prom and graduation season, the Fourth of July, and summer vacation give pause to parents of teenagers everywhere.
Why? Because celebration paired with newfound freedom can trigger tragedy on our roads and highways.
Indeed, young people themselves report that these times of year are the most dangerous when it comes to driving. And alcohol and other drugs are primary reasons.
According to new research from SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) and Liberty Mutual Insurance, 23 percent of teens admit to driving under the influence of alcohol, marijuana or other drugs. With 13 million driving-aged teenagers, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, that means as many as 3 million impaired adolescents may be taking to the road.
Ironically, most teens (91 percent) consider themselves to be safe, cautious drivers. For example, nearly 40 percent claim that alcohol has no impact on their driving. Some even say it helps.
And when it comes to operating a motor vehicle under the influence of marijuana, a whopping 75 percent feel the same way.
Specifically, about one in four teens who have driven under the influence of marijuana (25 percent) or prescription drugs (23 percent), and about one in seven teens who report drinking and driving (14 percent), say they're not distracted "at all" when mixing substance use with driving.
This cavalier attitude toward driving under the influence is made more somber in light of recent data from the Governors Highway Safety Association which found an alarming 19 percent increase in the number of teen driver deaths (ages 16 and 17) in the first half of 2012.
"Parents play an incredibly important role in communicating expectations to their teen drivers, enforcing consequences for ignoring family driving rules, and setting a good example behind the wheel," said Penny Wells, SADD's president and CEO, who points to Liberty Mutual's Parent/Teen Driving Contract and SADD's Contract for Life as effective conversation starters for parents and their teen drivers.
The good news is that more than 90 percent of teens say their school has a program or policy in place to deter illegal behavior, the most common being security guards or police.
Additionally, the use of breathalyzers at school events is up nearly 25 percent. Yet, while school programs play an important role in keeping teens from engaging in dangerous activities, unsupervised celebrations make parent communication about safe driving more critical than ever.
If teens really believe there are no adverse consequences from driving impaired, we have our work cut out for us … lest many more families become shattered from injury and death.
Stephen Gray Wallace is a senior advisor for policy, research and education at SADD and an associate research professor and director of the Center for Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) at Susquehanna University.

RED JACKET - Mingo Central's Buck Harless Stadium will host the first-ever Cardinal Conference Football Grid-o-rama on Saturday, Aug. 17.
All eight league teams are scheduled to scrimmage that day.
"Yes we are hosting the first Cardinal Conference Grid-o-rama," said Mingo Central coach Yogi Kinder. "The conference coaches wanted to come to our place to have the first one."
"I think this will be a yearly thing. It probably will move around to others schools from year to year," Kinder added.
"We are hoping to do a good job putting it on and try to promote it as much as possible. Maybe we can host it again in the future," Kinder said.
"I think the Cardinal Conference is the best Class AA conference in the whole state of West Virginia," Kinder said. "There are some good football teams in the league and I'm sure glad Mingo Central is one of them."
Chapmanville coach George Barker said that the eight teams were placed in a hat and then drawn out to decide who plays each other in the scrimmage.
Chapmanville Regional High School drew Poca and will scrimmage against the Dots in one of the four preseason games.
Wayne, the two-time defending Class AA state champion, is set to battle it out against the Scott Skyhawks. Wayne beat Keyser 35-0 in last year's state championship game at Wheeling Island Stadium. Keyser is who Mingo Central played in its first-ever football playoff game last year.
The year, before in 2011, the Pioneers won the title 34-7 over then Cardinal Conference member Point Pleasant in the finals.
The other four league teams - host Mingo Central, Sissonville, Tolsia and Herbert Hoover will also scrimmage against each other.
"We're going to play three quarters of football in each game, two at the varsity level and one at the JV level," Barker said. "It's going to take place in the second Saturday after practice starts."
Mountain State teams start practice on Monday, August 5. The games are tentatively scheduled to start around 3 p.m. in the afternoon in an effort to get in all four scrimmages in.
The new grid-o-rama is molded from the Mountain State Athletic Conference which has a similar preseason scrimmage session.
Mingo Central, which had affiliate league status last season and made it to the playoffs, will play more Cardinal Conference games this fall. This is only the second season for the Miners as members of the league.
Buck Harless Stadium is considered one of the top high school football facilities in the state. The stadium has a Field Turf artificial surface, large locker rooms, and unlimited parking space. The seating capacity of the stadium is 5,000.
Barker said Harless Stadium is the perfect choice for the event.
"This way everyone has to go to Mingo Central," Barker said. "They are the new kid on the block, so to speak, and they get to welcome everybody and everybody gets to visit their facility ahead of time. I think it's a pretty good deal for us. Everyone scrambles around trying to find scrimmages. This way it's already built in. It's the first scrimmage instead of the second. A lot of these grid-o-ramas are the second week, but we thought it would be better to be the first."
Mingo Central finished 5-5 in the regular season and the made the Class AA playoffs for the first time in school history. They lost at Keyser, but still got much-needed experience in the post season.
Here is the 2013 Mingo Miners schedule:
8/30 (H) Wyoming East
9/06 (A) Tolsia
9/13 (A) Webster County
9/20 (A) Westside
9/27 (-) Open
10/04 (H) Wayne
10/11 (A) Poca
10/18 (A) Chapmanville
10/25 (H) Logan
11/01 (A) Herbert Hoover
11/08 (H) Mt View

@Lomarah.....what's a Continuing Care Assistant? Glad you're here when you can be! Work, and when not at work, my daughter and one year old baby live with me at present, so that keeps me hopping. He just learned to walk this last week! When I have free time, reading, studying the Word, gardening when weather appropriate, working around the house. I only go to church where and when He leads, which isn't often.
Care to share how you spend your time, how do you interact with others? Is it mostly as you meet people day-to-day, sharing the love and life of Christ? Do you have a group you regularly meet with? Do you spend a lot of time posting on other forums? If so, do you recommend it; why or why not?

Ohio State Reformatory
Editor's Review
The Ohio State Reformatory in Mansfield is probably best known for its starring role in Shawshank Redemption (much of the 1994 jail-break blockbuster was filmed here), but there's much more to this massive chateauesque structure than its Hollywood past. History buffs, thrill seekers and paranormal investigators find there's plenty to see.
Visitors taking advantage of the reformatory's new self-guided tour schedule get plenty of freedom to explore at their pace and according to their interest. Self-guided tours are available weekdays and Saturdays. The basic self-guided tour ($9 for adults) involves five video kiosks placed strategically throughout the prison's public areas. The kiosks look like old-time radios and feature touch screens showing videos about prison life and history, politics and Hollywood history. Video interviews of former prisoners, guards and historians give a first-hand account of life on the inside. Stick to a single theme, or explore all the videos. Rent an audioguide for an extra $5. The upgrade is a must: Though the video kiosks are cool enough, the audio tour tends to have more of the creepy information that thrill-seekers enjoy, like haunted hot spots and other prison lore.
Any tour requires lots of walking, stair climbing and sometimes-wobbly footing. Much of the interior is literally falling down; peeling paint, some of it a century old, poses a risk to young children and pregnant women.
