Top Ten Richard Matheson Stories
Written by Gwendolyn Kiste, Posted 80 Days Ago. | No Comments
Among people in the literary know, there is little doubt that author Richard Matheson is among the greatest genre writers of all-time.

In Defense of Hellraiser: Revelations

Before I get started I just want to point out that I'm not here to tell you that Hellraiser: Revelations is an awesome film because it isn't, and I'm definitely not here to tell you that it's the best in the Hellraiser franchise, instead I'm here to tell you that it's not the worst. And,

Perhaps the most underrated author of the twentieth century, Shirley Jackson was one-of-a-kind. Her brilliant fiction was shockingly ahead of its time, and her prose has the perfect balance of delicacy and terror while never veering into the quaint and dated territory that plagues the work of many of her contemporaries. Although she rarely is named

These are not the best photos. They were taken last Tuesday, through the window, by my mother. It was 28˙ outside, and was just starting to snow. I wasn't about to make her come join in the fun. I also had the camera on the wrong setting. Whoops.
There are a couple of things that I don't like about how this turned out. See how the skirt separates and sort of comes to a V at the bottom. That bugs me. It has been blocked, and steamed, and continues to do that. My mother and a good friend think that I am being a bit picky, but I like my knits to turn out like the photo in the pattern. Also, the waistband must have elastic sewn into it, otherwise it would end up down around your hips all day. Not a good look.
Yes, a little clingy in the rear. I know, I should have expected this from a knit skirt.

Pelicans Tickets
If you are looking for New Orleans Pelicans basketball tickets, you will find them at GoTickets.com. We have great seats for every game on the Pelicans basketball schedule, both on the road and at the Smoothie King Center.
New Orleans Pelicans Schedule
Saturday, 7:00 PM
Pelicans Ticket Info
It seems likely that teams will start to fear being on the New Orleans Pelicans schedule. The New Orleans Pelicans roster has improved drastically in a very short period of time, and demand for New Orleans Pelicans tickets is expected to skyrocket in the upcoming season as more fans will flock to see this team play in the Smoothie King Center. It should not be long before this team once again rises up to the top of the Western Conference.
The Pelicans now have a promising trio in #1 overall draft pick Anthony Davis, first round selection Austin Rivers and restricted free agent Eric Gordon. The latter of that trio might change his mind about leaving now that he sees the potential in Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers. Rivers is an explosive guard from Duke that learned most of his game and aggressiveness from one of the greatest coaches in the NBA, his father Doc Rivers, and Coach K at Duke. If Gordon and Rivers can learn to play together, the Pelicans may have one of the most promising backcourts in the NBA for years to come. This is the season to start buying New Orleans Pelicans basketball tickets.
Anthony Davis was the most talented player in the draft without any detractors or any doubts. He is a perennial talent that has the ability to affect all phases of the game, and he is an instantly recognized brand with great potential and looks to become a fixture in the NBA All-Star Game. Davis could very well be the new face of the NBA for years to come, and he blocks, rebounds and runs the floor like no other big man in the league. He shows potential for a mid-range shot, has great hands for alley-oops and passing. Plus, playing for the U.S. Olympic team to replace the injured Blake Griffin should give him invaluable experience. Along with new ownership from the Saints' Tom Benson, Davis brings instant credibility to the Pelicans franchise and added value to New Orleans Pelicans tickets.
GoTickets.com has you covered with tickets to every NBA game this year, as well as the 2015 NBA Finals, and NBA All Star Game.

The Green Wave wrestling team advanced to the championship round of the Lower State Duals playoffs with a 41-24 win Monday over White Knoll.
Summerville (20-2) travels to Columbia to face Lexington (26-2) in the Lower State title match Wednesday evening. The Wildcats are ranked second in the Class AAAA coaches poll released Jan. 30 while the Wave is ranked fourth. Both teams won their region.
"Lexington is a quality opponent," Summerville coach Darryl Tucker said. "They have been ranked either first or second in the state all season and we lost to them earlier this season. We have improved since then, but they probably have too so it should be interesting."
Summerville has put in a strong playoff performance so far. In addition to the win over the Timberwolves, the Wave defeated Sumter 71-6 in the opening round Saturday and Dutch Fork 45-18 Saturday in the second round.
Against Sumter Summerville earned bonus points in nine out of 14 weight classes. Against Dutch Fork the Wave earned bonus points in seven classes. Summerville earned bonus points in five classes in the match with White Knoll.
"Things went kind of according to plan," Tucker said. "We felt good going into the first round. We didn't know much about Dutch Fork except they have some quality kids so we handled that well. White Knoll is a scary bunch and they are well coached so we are fortunate to get out of here with a win and be one step closer to where we want to be."
James Sass, Gavin Perkins, Chad Wood, Justin Connelly, Austin Walters and Tyler Fachko have all won three straight individual playoff matches.
Sass won two by pinfall and one by major decision. Connelly won one by pin, one by technical fall and one by major decision. Perkins won two by pin. Wood won one by pin and one by technical fall. Fachko won one by tech fall and one by major decision.
Robert English, Trey Privette, Julian Gibbs and Daniel Smith also all picked up a win by pin during the run.
The Fort Dorchester wrestling team defeated Stratford in the first round of the playoffs, but fell to Lexington in the second round.
The Ashley Ridge wrestling team defeated Wando in the first round, but fell to White Knoll in the second round.

one more thing.......love does NOT KEEP COUNT of a wrong
By both accounts(heh heh) of Strong and Thayer I will vote for "counting." (heh heh) and this, in my humble opinion, is were the imagination of the human goes awry in study, "Bit of a stretch but ignoring the symbology of the stones...."
Ecc 3:18 I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves are beasts. Can we see that?
No I'm not looking for the beast but for the ones who count.
While the stones were used for regular counting they had also had a prominent place in the ancient legal system. Also in the Bible. The white stone Jesus gives is a voting stone. When the high priest went in the Holies of Holies he held a bag with 1 black and 1 white voting stone. (Drawing lots)So is the verse about "counting stones" or "voting stones"?Bit of a stretch but ignoring the symbology of the stones....
Quote from: WhiteWings on October 02, 2012, 06:28:37 PMNo I'm not looking for the beast but for the ones who count.I'm interested where I can find out about the "casting of lots" that relate to "calculating" the number of the beast. Direction

MOUNT PLEASANT — Logan Page is living the Gamecocks dream.
He had his eighth birthday at Williams-Brice Stadium during South Carolina's spring game on April 12.
"It was fun," he said. "I won't forget it."
Page won't forget Tuesday either, as he and his parents, Gina and Charlie, traveled from Hampton to Mount Pleasant to attend the USC Fanfest, an event where the Gamecocks athletic family travels to six cities to connect with the fan base and show their appreciation for the support.
On this day, everything was USC, from the semitrailer used to transport the football equipment to a jump castles with USC logos. Sir Big Spur the IV even made an appearance.
While basketball coaches Frank Martin and Dawn Staley were in attendance along with athletic director Ray Tanner, most Gamecocks faithful were there to see football coach Steve Spurrier.
"He's my favorite coach of my favorite team," the younger Page said. "I love USC. I like the players, too. My favorite player is Jadaveon Clowney — because of the hit."
It's moments like that that make the Gamecocks football team No. 1 in the fans' hearts.
Chuck Fralix was in line to get Spurrier's autograph and had nothing but praise for the coach.
"Coach, you know it's never been this good at USC," said Fralix, who lives in West Ashley. "We need to change the name of USC. We need to change it to the University that Spurrier Changed."
Spurrier was at ease and all smiles as he signed autographs and had his picture taken with hundreds of fans. The only time Spurrier stopped signing was when he applied bug spray.
Spurrier will attend all six Fanfests and stressed how important it for the USC sports personnel to connect with the fans.
"When you win, the crowds are big, and when you don't, the crowds are so-so," he said. "The fans are excited and are looking forward to next season. They always enjoy beating the in-state rival, that school from the Upstate."
Barkley Galloway of Mount Pleasant brought his 5-year-old son Dylan to see the Gamecocks' football boss.
"He had his picture taken with coach Spurrier two years ago when he was at Joe Riley Park," Galloway said. "He has his picture hanging in his bedroom. He likes coach Spurrier and his favorite player is Clowney. He likes that word, Clowney. But he doesn't know how to pronounce his first name."
The Mount Pleasant event is one of six that promotes USC sports. The other stops include Florence, Spartanburg, Atlanta, Greenville and the Charlotte-York area.

Nice read, however, redundant. Why? Because it essentially collides with the game mechanics of WAR.
This is probably my harshest point of criticism about WAR. I don't really care whether the graphics are as good, or as bad as any other game, or game is imbalanced etc. As long as the game itself is fun to play, these are only minor issues.
A game, especially based on an IP, should harmonize with this IP, and WAR clearly doesn't. This is even apparent in your short summary.
1. Why should the High Elves and the Dwarfs band together? Jon Wood mentions that the Elves do so reluctantly. The dwarfs on the other hand have their Book of Grudges and a grudge as big as the War of Beards is never forgotten. Especially since the war was fought on two fronts, against the Elves on one side and the Orcs on the other, which apparently had a good timing for a WAAAAGH. (Note: I am not saying Elves and Orcs banded together, they conicidentally fight at the same time but on different fronts against the dwarves). Massive battles against two powerful enemies were responsible for the demise of so many dwarven realms.
Never ever would the Dwarfs ally with the Elves, they'd fight their battles alongside the humans, but not the Elves. They would literally rather die.
2. From time to time the Chaos armies come together under the rule of one exceptionally powerful warrior, but this does not include the Greenskins. They are their own party, and their sole aim is to fight. Either against other races or against each other. They have as much reason to fight against Chaos, as they do against the Dwarves. (This has been covered by the first or second expansion to the Warhammer RTS)
I cannot really talk about the Dark Elves since I don't know enough about them, so I won't make any comments in that respect.
What is the world of WAR then? It is clearly not in accordance with the Warhammer IP. The same races, locations and classes for sure, but not the history. This is what my grudge against Mythic is. They simplified a really complex world. In Warhammer it was never two armies, consisting of several races, fighting, but there was always the threat of a third or fourth party turning the tides of war into unseen directions. In Warhammer their are very few alliances that hold, one is the pact between dwarves and empire. Everyone else fights for himself.
The complexity of such a situation is not covered in WAR, which makes it actually pointless to talk about the Lore behind the armies. That Lore belongs to Warhammer not WAR.

I have to agree with Fuerchtegott. But I also reckon that Warhammer setting (specially on table top) is to make each race, each army to fight against each other, meaning each miniature collectors i.e. TT gamers to be able to fight against any designated army.

Orc's have been known to band together with anyone capable of bringing enough fighting their way to keep them entertained, which is exactly what the darkelfs have done in WAR. I regard to the dwarves and the high elfs. i would reckon that their honour demands that they come to the aid of the empire and thus indirectly come to the aid of the high elves, lest they be oath breakers.

There are plenty of times in the Warhammer IP that dwarves have fight alongside the Elves. They do so reluctantly but they do say when needed.
Pull out your manuals and books and start reading, there are PLENTY of times, both before and after the Elf king dying.

If you knew anything about this game is that its not during a set time of the timeline...hence the secondary title "Age of Reckoning" The same people who created the game are working with Mythic. This game is set in its own time APPROVED AND CREATED BY the same people who created Warhammer. So if your going to spit in the face of this game, then you sir just spit in the face of the same people who made the IP period.

So in my opinion the events described in the game's background do fit within the setting as stablished by GW.

hatred enriches.life is a prison, death a release.
first off like to point out WAR is not a direct port. if it was we would have PC skaven. undead. britionian,boarder princes. the northmen of kiliv (or how ever its spelt ><) as well as tomb kings and other armys...
WAR is solely on emp vs chaos ork vs dwarf and elf vs elf.
so in that regard the dwarfs are not really allied with the HE they are allied with the Empire. the dwarfs only work with elf foke if the need requires it do to their grudges.
that doesnt mean they wont work with them. if it means they survive but on the other hand they dont really work with anyone but the empire do to sigmar's history events.
that being said im not overly worried about the 3 sides allies it makes the game more playable. if you allow the elf and dwarf joining up.
other wise you may have the elf and dwarf fighting each other... :/
as for the ork... they side with anyone whos strong then them.. there are players at some game-days who have chaos orks in their armies. its not impossible for orks to be corrupted by chaos looks funny though.. haha..
so its quite possible the orks work with chaos purely do to them being the biggest and the strongest... as per ork logic.. the DE are great malipulators so its most likely they helped in getting orks to work with them..
all in all its mostly a device to give the game depth.. other wise it becomes a free for all :/ and wouldnt be an armagedon style game its ment to be WAR is ment to be the end of the world.. so each race has to join a side to survive ^^

Big Bang happened. And life happened. Then you trolls somehow got here?
i do not know a lot of about the lore of warhammer and such but if you read the back story on the offical site (you know the one with out forums) there is the reason for the GAME then you will see why the greenskins fight with the Dark elfs and so and so...come on people from the start MYthic has said that the game is on a different timeline....

I admit it has been some time since i looked into WFB since I am more a roleplayer than a tabletop player. I didn't assume the two being so far apart, especially since the 2nd edition of WFRP. On the other hand, I could say that the Warhammer novels also do not support the background of WAR. But I guess as gamerman98 so aptly put it WAR is not during a set time of the timeline, so why go back to the timeline and tell the story of the armies?
I know that High Elves come to the rescue of the Empire from time to time, and thus fight alongside the dwarves. This happens only in times of exceptional threat and danger and this is the point where I lost my argument probably. I forgot that the world of WAR is in constant exceptional threat and danger, thus making the exceptionality a normality. Danger, however, looses its threatening character if there is no state without danger to return to. This in mind, it makes it rather pointless to rely on the lore of Warhammer if the grudge that the dwarves bear has no relevance due to the exceptionality of the situation.
Regarding the Dark Elves dealings I point to what I said above that I do not know enough about them to make any (in my eyes) qualified arguments. Concerning the alliance between Chaos and Orcs, yes, I know this happened, but I regard it similar to the banding of dwarves and humans, and again my argument is countered by the exceptionality of the situation… Besides, how often have they fought each other? Why is this aspect not covered by the game either? What does give more importance to the one and less to the other? The fact that both armies don't look "nice" (nice in a Ken and Barbie sense).
My point in all my ramblings is: The way Mythic transported Warhammer IP to WAR weakens the original IP considerably and simplifies the world to a simple Order vs. Destruction. All the nuances of the conflicts in between armies of one and the same side gets lost, we return to a simple Alliance vs. Horde (oops, did I actually say that?). I understand that this happens for the sake of game mechanics, since a multi-fraction conflict would be hard to code and balance. However, as everyone knows and loves to point out, Mythic has done that exactly in a preceding MMORPG.
I assume that the first expansion will introduce two new armies to the game and in a daring prediction I will say it will be Skaven and Bretonnians. Now, the tabletop players on these boards will make away with my ignorance and tell me the Skaven have often enough banded with Chaos and Greenskin.
The fundamental question is, where is Games Workshop going with this? Do they want believability of their worlds, thus enabling players to immerse into them? Or do they want arbitrariness? Why are Greenskins and Chaos enemies in the WFB and the RTS, occasionally allies in WFB but constantly allies in the MMO? It seems to me that it really doesn't matter to GW or Mythic. In that case, knowing about the lore of Warhammer is truly pointless.
@ gamerman98
Criticism and spitting in the face are two very different things. The first is an intellectual analytical act and done right might gain you the respect of the other person. The second is a physical act and done right might gain you a good physical beating up. If you are not capable of the former, and I not able to respond adequately to the latter, please stop be insulting and start gaining the respect of other people.

Imo, a faction game is not "hard" to code. But faction PvP is not RvR. Not sure about the balance part... depends on the implementation of the faction PvP, I guess. Anyway, yes, the chose 2 realms (which have benefits and problems too vs, for example, DAoC 3 realms).
I would like if they add a third realm but I doubt it... that will be a huge xpac.
All the graphics and some other stuff were approved by GW. Not sure if they approved directly the RvR but I guess they did because they actually made the agreement with Mythic.
I understand your points. I reeally have no clue what will be the future xpacs, neither what's the strategy that GW planed. I guess they wanted their IP in a MMO... it will bust their sell and maybe sell future games and more stuff.
Maybe you should try to write to GW or check their press infos and such. I do think RvR is the best PvP implementation for the WAR IP. When they announced it and then they said it would be a RvR game, I was happy. Of course, it has it contraints. All games will have it.
Anyway, I liked your analysis. In the end, this is just a MMO with WAR's IP as lore... it will fit more or less as they can make if fit (in this case, greenies are permanent allies with dark elves and chaos people... not perfect but as well as they could fit it).
Knowing about the lore of a MMO is totally optional. Some people will read the ToK, books, the quests, buy the rule books, the tabletop games, etc, etc, etc. Other will have no clue at all of what Skaven is. The lore is just part of the MMO.
How much pointless is or not to know the lore? (I understand this as the key question of your post) Well, as much as you will enjoy the game with or without knowing it. I like to know about the lore of the games; others wont. ;)
One of the firsts RTS (I think it was actually the first one, but not 100% sure) was Dune... I wonder how many people playing Dune in that time actually knew anything about the lore? I wonder how many people laying LoTRO know really the lore, more than just having watched the movie. Or how many people playing DAoC knows about the vikings' lore or the celts' lore. Or how many playing PoTBS read about how the pirates' life were and such. I mean the lore, the universe in which a game is immerse, is not really necessary to be known by the players... It's there for the players that actually care about it.
I remember some MMO dev saying that the Lore (when they buy the IP over an existant universe) is just to make the dev cycle smaller by not having to design it from scratches.
In the case of WAR, one interesting thing is that, accordingly with Mythic, GW had to approve all the design stuff. It's in one of their videos. Check their website, if you interested.
Anyway, it's great to see people that liek the Warhammer universe around. I hope you join us in the game!

some of what i'm seeing means that a few people did not read the background story on the Warhammer Online main site. If you read the background story it gives you the setting for the events going on during the game. Everything that they have done in the game they HAVE cross checked and gotten blessings from Games Workshop before they put it into the game. Some of the ideas they had where not proper for the IP so they where not put into the game, everything that is in the game way appoved by Games Workshop so that it doesn't mess about with the information that is in the IP.

I will try to bring you live action from Old Trafford here in this thread today. Big chances, yellow/red cards.. line-ups. etc.
So please join in and have a chat about the game!!!
Manchester United:Van der Sar, Neville, Brown, Jonathan Evans, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Fletcher, Nani, Berbatov, Rooney.
Subs:Kuszczak, Owen, Park, Fabio Da Silva, Gibson, De Laet, Diouf.
Portsmouth:James, Vanden Borre, Rocha, Wilson, Ben-Haim, Webber, Hughes, Mullins, O'Hara, Belhadj, Piquionne.
Subs:Ashdown, Owusu-Abeyie, Finnan, Boateng, Dindane, Yebda, Basinas.
1-0 header from Wayne Rooney
Yellow cards to Webber D., O'Hara J. and Ben-Haim T., all Portsmouth, so far in the 1st half.
2-0 Nani/Own goal..
the goal will probably be registered as an own goal by Anthony Vanden Borre.
1st half is over.
as expected United have had it pritty easy against Pompey so far, and have a comfortable 2-0 lead!
Half time results in the Premier League today:
Bolton 0 - 0 Fulham Burnley 1 - 0 West Ham Hull 1 - 0 Manchester City Manchester Utd 2 - 0 Portsmouth Stoke 2 - 0 Blackburn Sunderland 0 - 1 Wigan
United are currently 1st on the Premier League table. 1 point ahead of Chelsea who face Arsenal on Sunday.
Antonio Valencia have a massive chance, but does not manage to get the goal past David James in the Pompey goal.
Valencia should clearly have scored there, poor finish from the winger.
3-0 Carrick, a shot from outside the box gets deflected off a Pompey player.
Pompey keeper David James did not have a chance to save that one.
Can Pompey get back from this?? Or will United score more goals?

4-0 Berbatov, shot from just outside the box. Nice shot from the Bulgarian. poor defence from Pompey

The 18-year-old midfielder caught the eye during a similar spell at Watford last season - helping them to the Championship play-off final.
He has now returned for a second stint in the second tier, at another side harbouring promotion ambitions.
Chalobah is yet to make a competitive appearance for Chelsea and remains some way down the pecking order in a squad brimming with creative talent.
He is, however, still learning his trade and is prepared to head out of Stamford Bridge in order to get games and aid his development.
He grabbed five goals for Watford in 2012/13 and will be looking to produce more of the same during his time at the City Ground.
Chalobah will also want to catch the eye of Jose Mourinho and prove that he has a future both with Chelsea and on the Premier League stage.

BOONE, N.C. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga head coach Wes Moore emptied the bench and got scoring from every player in the Lady Mocs' 69-45 win over Appalachian State in the season finale at the Holmes Convocation Center Saturday afternoon.
The Lady Mocs close out the regular season with a 16-game win streak and improve to 26-3 overall. In Southern Conference action, Chattanooga finished the season with a 19-1 mark.
Junior transfer Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) put up her seventh double-double of the season and second against her former team in as many meetings with a game-high 13 points and 11 rebounds in 19 minutes. Junior Taylor Hall had 12 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Chattanooga got started early leading 9-0 just over three minutes into the game and led wire-to-wire for the ninth time this season. The Mountaineers climbed back into the game with scoring from four different players to make it 17-14 with 11:05 to play in the first. However, the Lady Mocs responded with a 17-4 run to take a commanding 34-18 lead with 6:06 to play in the first. Chattanooga led 44-27 at halftime.
Appalachian State started the second half with six points from three of its four seniors to cut Chattanooga's lead to 44-33 with 17:24 to play, but that's as close as it would get the remainder of the game. The Lady Mocs held the Mountaineers to just 12 points over the remainder of the game and led by as much as 26 points twice before the final buzzer.
Dewart scored six of her 13 points over the first half while Hall, playing 15 minutes in the opening frame, gave Chattanooga a boost with 10 points and five rebounds. The pair led Chattanooga on a 19-of-30 effort in the first period for a 63.3 shooting percentage and 47.4 percent for the game.
The Lady Mocs dominated the paint outscoring the Mountaineers 42-20 and getting a 30-6 advantage from the bench. On the boards, Chattanooga outrebounded Appalachian State 46-37 with ASU pulling down 15 offensive rebounds to the Lady Mocs' 12.
Chattanooga had eight points off fast breaks to none for ASU while the Mountaineers held a 17-13 advantage off turnovers.
Freshman Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) came off the bench with seven points and five rebounds while sophomore Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn,Ga.) also dropped in seven points on a 3-of-3 effort with a 3-pointer in 13 minutes. Senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) was 2-of-3 from beyond the arc for six points while junior Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) tossed in six points with three blocked shots in 14 minutes on the floor.
The Lady Mocs will return to the court for the Southern Conference tournament next weekend. Chattanooga's first game is set for Noon on Saturday, March 9 against the winner of the No. 8/9 matchup. The brackets will be set following the remainder of the SoCon schedule on Monday.

Back to top.
In a perfect world, countries would stop fighting, cars would emit rose-scented oxygen, and broccoli would taste like chocolate cake. Sadly, that's not the case. But there's always hope. Beachbody® may not be able to stop wars or global warming (yet), but we can certainly give you a few tips on getting your veggies to taste better. It's easier than you think.
There are a number of books on the subject of sneaking healthy foods to kids, including a few The Sneaky Chef titles and Jessica Seinfeld's Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food. Basically, the same principles you'll find in these books apply to grown-ups. The only difference is your mind-set. Given that you'll be doing the cooking, you won't really be sneaking healthy foods into meals; you'll just be altering healthy foods to suit your tastes.
There are other easy ways to make sure you get your veggies, including taking green nutritional supplements and drinking everyone's favorite prebiotic, micronutrient-packed drink, Shakeology®, but remember that most healthy diets are supposed to be primarily made up of fruits and veggies. If you can drink your Shakeology and sneak a couple servings of cauliflower into your Texas chili, you'll be in great shape.
The goop
The gist of the aforementioned cookbooks is simply to steam veggies for 10 to 15 minutes, throw them in a blender or food processor with a couple tablespoons of water, and puree them into a fine goop. Then, you introduce the goop into foods that overwhelm its flavor. It's that easy.
Although the books offer a near-infinite variety of goops, I'm going to boil it down, so to speak, to two goops.
The split
If you've eaten enriched flour pasta and white rice your whole life, it's understandable that brown rice and whole wheat pasta would taste weird. After all, brown rice and whole wheat pastas have flavor!
The solution is simple. Make a 50/50 mix. It's half as healthy, but it also tastes half as different. Once you're used to that, cut the white out and go 100 percent brown. You'll never look back.
Bonus Split Tip! Next time you make mashed potatoes, go half potato/half yam or sweet potato. You'll be adding flavor, which means less need for salt and butter. Also, you'll be adding the fiber that, especially if you don't like veggies, you're probably not getting enough of.
Miscellaneous strategies
While all the above stuff works great for fussy eaters young and old, keep in mind that at your age, techniques for sneaking in healthy food shouldn't always have to be so covert. Here are a few ideas that are slightly less sneaky but effective nonetheless. You'll be adding a very subtle taste to a strong, rich food.
No, we don't live in a perfect world. Pollution is a bummer, and there will probably always be countries that just can't seem to coexist on the same planet. But there's no reason why, with a little effort and a few tricks, nutritious and delicious can't live together happily on the same plate.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall . . . Are my thighs too big? Do these jeans look good? Is this dress too tight? Can you actually see any muscle?" . . . We can all relate to these feelings—not feeling like we're progressing as fast as we'd like with our fitness regimens, we are often very hard on ourselves.
The reasons we can be so dissatisfied with our bodies are varied and complex. Even people who belong on the cover of Maxim can be unhappy with the way they look. I had a conversation with an actress recently who was chastised by a photographer because she did not flatter a size zero swimsuit. Size ZERO. Aren't those actually made for children? And why should we have to flatter the article of clothing? Isn't it supposed to flatter us?
This is not to say that you shouldn't strive to be healthier, stronger, and at the top of your game. But ultimately, it's about being happy with where we are right now while still pushing every day for a little bit more.
Here are some simple, objective ways to measure your progress.
Many of us are dissatisfied with the way we look. Yes, there's always a way to strive for more physical perfection, but there is only one YOU in this entire world. You are amazing, just the way you are. You are beautiful. Now go tell that to the mirror.

A bill that sits on Governor Nickie Haley's desk, if signed into law will, in my opinion, have serious ramifications. The bill would allow people licensed to carry concealed weapons to take their firearms into businesses that serve alcohol as long as they don't drink. In other words, don't plan on enjoying a glass of wine with that thick juicy steak. I wrote about this issue in May before the S.C. House passed the bill (S. 308) on January 23 by a 90-18 vote. Where I am a staunch advocate of the Second Amendment, there are some points of this expansion of gun rights that cause great concern and honestly, make me very nervous. One point at issue is the new law will allow permit applications to be made online. I don't mean to sound crude here, but I know some people that can't pass a second grade math test, let alone a concealed weapons test. Think about this. If allowed to take the test in the privacy of one's home, who's' to say they won't be accompanied by a friend lending intellectual "support"? Secondly, a part of the law that should never have been considered for deletion is the eight-hour mandatory training session required to get the permit. In my opinion, that is a crucial and revealing step in the process. I've been in a class where a woman successfully passed the test but when it came to physically handling the firearm, she literally had to have it taken away from her. As for pairing a Porterhouse with a PX4 pistol, you'd better pay more attention to the sign on the wall and the menu. The law would provide the business owner authority to "just say no" by simply providing notice of a prohibition - a prominently displayed sign reading no concealed weapons. If that doesn't work, the proprietor can ask the patron to leave. And if that doesn't work, the offender could end up facing two years in prison, pay a hefty fine and risk having his conceal-carry permit revoked. I suspect Governor Haley will sign the bill, as she is a supporter of open-carry laws and backs the Constitution, which provides for the right to bare arms. However, I can only speculate where this lax law will take us, as I believe it was not subjected to the intense debate it deserved.

Is Jose Mourinho realy worth £170k week?
Can he bring Champions League success to Inter?
Hmmm... Mancini managed what Mourinho did. But somehow Inter feels Mourinho's title win is bigger?
Mancini should have been given more time and then they would have done better in the CL and played more entertaining football.
Champions League success depends realy on who they bring in this summer.
Seems like Mourinho is doing just what he did to bring success to Chelsea. Spending a hel. of a lot of money on new players. Buying success.
The club will probably demand CL success next season. If not, he could get axed?
Mancini were just winning the Serie A, did not manage to move to club further from that. They probably needed a new face.
Jose is not worth those amount of money, even if he wins the Serie A title with the club.
Jose has spend a lot of money and bought himself to success in every club he has been at.
Mancini should have stayed on!

Comments about McDavid Mens Compression Short with Hip Spica:
This product was too tight in the crotch area and made it extremely uncomfortable. I'm far from a well endowed male which made it worse! (just my ego talking. lol.) I eventually returned the product and exchanged it for the regular McDavid compression shorts which was much better. The regular compression shorts from McDavid are much more comfortable and just as well made.

Comments about McDavid Mens Compression Short with Hip Spica:
I think the product functions fairly well, much better than basic spandex shorts. But it does seem to be sized a bit small for a guy with legs as big/muscular as mine. Buy the XL if you are over 200 lbs and don't worry about the waist as much, tends to shrink as well. A drawback is that they are definitely tighter in the crotch than is comfortable, not enough of a "pouch" for those that need it.

Jones County Sheriff's Department Chief Barbara Burnette said the RAPID-ID mobile fingerprint scanners were purchased in March and need only the prints from two fingers to identify an individual.
The caveat to that of course is the person to be identified must already be in the National Criminal Information Center database.
Burnette said the scanner works on a wireless network and has good coverage all over the county. She said the scanner could help identify an unconscious person or anyone without identification.
"We can tell who they are if they have ever been in the system," the chief said.
Once the fingerprints are captured by the device, identification takes place in a matter of a few seconds. If a match is found, the display not only shows the name and pertinent information about the individual but also a picture.

Chaz Bono Lost 43 Pounds in 3 Months! How Did He Do It?
It appears that Chaz Bono's motto could be: I got
you skinny, babe.
The former Dancing with the Stars contestant has announced that he has dropped an impressive 43 pounds since mid-November, according to People. His goal is to lose 80 pounds in total.
"I've been sticking to a really strict diet," he reveals. "It's not any type of starvation thing. I'm just cutting out a lot of stuff and eating primarily protein and vegetables and fruit."
Chaz — whose parents, Cher and Sonny Bono, had the hit song "I Got You Babe" — weighed 250 pounds before the diet, which prompted the show The Doctors to reach out to him to address the problem on the air.
"That episode was the most uncomfortable I've ever been on television in my life," the 43-year-old Chaz admits. "I had been wanting to lose weight. It was something I had been trying to do and failing at."
Chaz will appear on The Doctors again this Wednesday to show off his progress, but he acknowledges that continuing to lose weight will be tough.
"It's getting harder," he says. "I'm just kind of at a little plateau right now, which I think is pretty normal, according to my doctor. The weight was falling off at first, and now it's just coming off slower."
We might be seeing more of Chaz on our TVs in the future, as there are rumors that Chaz has been approached by TV producers to have his own dating show.
Best of luck, Chaz! We're rooting for you!

I know nothing of GW2. but i do know a thing or 2 bout eve(played there for over 2 years, darquies was my ign) Let me give you a synopsis of Eve. Eve produces a patch. gaming comunity goes over patch with microscope and finds the "exploits" if you will with the new item capabilities and designs that the patch now creates. Eve then comes out with a series of overall nerfs to said "exploits" rince, repeat. And then we have to talk about the overall timesink that skills are(at first i liked it, but i believe it's now time for a hybrid skilling system for Eve, 50% time/50% skill/item use)
I been gaming since 2000, with jumpgate being my first then heading over to EQ. I also have a endgame Char in WOW(darquies from lighteninghoof). With WoW it's the "flavor of the month" and the fact that they saw Kung Fu Panda and Really Liked it. The Pandas don't bother me too much as does thier "flavor of the month/patch" style.
At one time WoW was the leader and had fresh content as well as balance from what lil i could tell(Though i started in BC) But now it's Crap and all the models that have followed has been crap as well. There isn't any fresh or new stuff out there cause these gaming companies Have to make a buck no matter what(even buying the competition and letting it die a slow painful death [Vanguard])
I agree with OP but what i'm finding hardest to read is all the negative comments here, seriously peeps some of you really need to take the stick out of ya.

There's no right or wrong but there's not a huge difference as you think it is.

If it takes months and months to grasp how a game works, then yeah, I'd say there are some bad designs in place. As for Eve, I think it's great that some people really love the game. I personally found it to be complicated to the point of not being immersive. I felt like I was filing taxes. The last time I played it, I spent several hours just running through the basic tutorials, none of which were exciting or made me feel like I wanted to see more of what the game offered. Again, it was like reading the instructions on how to file taxes. So yeah, I'd say Eve has some pretty bad game design that turns a lot of people off.
GW2 is on the opposite end of the spectrum. It's rediculously easy to grasp, and I really have to disagree that it takes months to understand it. Once you've hit about level 30, you know pretty much everything there is to know about the game, for better or for worse, because the game lacks any kind of complexity.
Back to Eve though: it feels like those comments you hear once in a while, about people you're going to meet, where they say stuff like "she comes off as a real bitch at first, but if you take the time to get to know her, she's really a cool person." The fact is, if she's such a cool person, I shouldn't have to "take the time" to get to know her; her being cool should just show right off the bat. Same thing with Eve; I'm sure it's a great game once you've invested tens and hundreds of hours into fighting the archaic interface and controls to get to the fun parts, but that seems pretty bad considering they charge a monthly sub.

As for Eve, you call it poor game design because it is not an inviting game. CCP and the community as a whole has actually made it clear they dont want this game to be inviting to the everyday gamer. The community only wants a bunch of new players once a year during hulkageddon. Funny stuff actually. KILL ALL THE CAREBEARS.
As for GW2, your opinion is a popular one on these forums. Now, this is not meant as a personal attack but is simply my personal opinion. If someone played GW2 and believes they have learned all they need to learn by lvl 30; that person never acquired any real level of skill in this game. More than likely this person was a mindless zerg drone in WvW or some PvE equivalent. GW2 has quite a bit of depth and diversity, especially with the necro, mesmer and engie. Those who play those classes do not have a complete understanding of the capabilities of these classes by lvl 30. Many of the profession have multiple roles with multiple viable builds. Builds have numerous synergies.
This GW2 arguement might roll of the tongue easily. However, the consequence to those who use it is they reveal themselves to be a less than mediocre player.

I agree with the op i have been playing mmo's since 2001 (FFXI) and have been a part of several beta tests as well as mmo launches (RF online, Guild Wars 1 and 2, Darkfall, SWTOR, etc) and you've pretty much summed it up in your original post.
We have to remember that especially in a recession-era most of these profit-maximizing firms are interested in just that, profit-maximizing not risking being innovative when that is likely to result in a loss if not adhering to the current wow formula.
Many of the games on the horizon do look promising however, although obviously we have to take that with a grain of salt considering recent history but currently I am just playing LoL until FFXIV: ARR is launched.
I would consider checking it out, many haters will point out the grind or failure of the launch of ffxiv as a reason to stay away, but anyone who has been following the new dev team that took over 2 years ago will tell you that the drastic changes are moving the game back towards some of the beloved features in FFXI that is STILL successful and has not gone f2p like most games.
I've always preferred non-western mmo's myself because they always have a higher risk/reward, where players who adhere to greater strategies and form connections with crafters and GOOD players in the community will actually be recognized for it. Also this team doesn't have some random investors (EA for example) holding a gun to their heads forcing them to make a wow clone to earn a quick $, they are trying to save a brand name and i've never seen a more polished alpha.
If thats not your type of thing Neverwinter and Darkfall UW also have some innovative concepts and are close to release, although i'll warn you i tried Darkfall UW beta for a while and it seems (in my opinion) to be quite buggy for a game that was supposed to launch last year, and the dev team always seems to be coming out with excuses for their slow progress...

Reccomendation for anyone looking for a new game. If you want something mainstream, then follow the major gaming news network sources. If you looking for something with origional content go look for the back streets of the internet.
A once good example of that is Dungeon Inquisitor, back in april with I started playing it was somewhere between the good old Dungeon Keeper games and the HTML OGame origional feel. There've been a lot of changes in the last couple of months because of players like me who did years of beta testing and will run a game through the gauntlet looking for exploitable features, but the inverse to that is that I also helped write a few friend write what are now the official guides for the game as well. It's a game that will never have the graphical flash of WoW (I really hate that game btw, beta tested it and was borded to death of it the moment I realized every damn activity in the game was spoon feed to you from the Developer, told them my opinion too, but I digress)...what DI lacks in flare it makes up for in player freedoms in a game premise that is essintially untapped for potential. Face it, more copies of Leauge of Villans sold over Leauge of Heros, because sometimes we just like to be the bad guy.
Don't belive me, go watch a friend play any of the Elder Scrolls after 2, where if you do it right you can steal the clothes off the person wearing them and sell it to the nearest (also naked) store owner.
Point being, the games you find will depend on where you look for them. There are a few developers that I reccomend like Nexon since I've been playing all of their games as far back as Dark Ages and have been impressed with most all of them for their deviations from Main Stream-Cookie Cutter Games that get a few thousand knock-offs made too, but they aren't so far outside of mainstream that people can't make the transition from the games that everyone knows to the games that actually fit what they're looking for.
And as for the orrigional message that mentioned why MMORPGs are all the same now, it's because too few players actually Role Play anymore. Which isn't dependant on the game manufactuers to force players to stay in character, that's on the players to make players and then stay in character. The issue with RPGs sucking these days is a matter of player issues, not developer problems. Role Playing is just acting for geeks in a venue of their choice, and Vin Diesel isn't the only actor who says they started acting playing tabletop D&D. Better RPGs are the resopncibilities of the player, the Developer only gives you the play ground.

The best you can do is just stop buying the games. I know it sucks, because you want to have an MMO. But think of it, why support the vision of a developer you don't agree with? Personally, I think most MMOs are not worth playing.

Its a beta and people took it as a demo, instead of complained bout bugs mostly the core concept is good AV just need to fix the bugs and tweak it a bit, Also it seems to developers are finaly just reliseing people want something different than the same stuff we been getting. I got my eye on SoE next major title Everquest Next curtrent code name, one major reason they openly stated that people want a change they gone back to the drawing boards twice already cause people dont want WoW clones anymore, They stated its going to give more freedom sandboxy features prob be a hybrid i reckon. It is also SoE favorite title Norrath has always had a special place in SoE heart and they go all out on it compared to there other titles. It seems Everquest Next will be a game to keep an eye on this year we apparently gonna see a playable version at there fan fair this year so game may be out early next year most likly.

On the vanguard note Sigil was running out of fund to make the game they then the game was release to early because they were out of money, one of the developers of Sigil was a good friend of a major person in SoE who then purchased the game from Sigil so they didnt go bankruped, Vanguard has made good progress however a little to late due to most people quitting after the game was released incomplete.

I actually still like MMORPGs
TSW is a fun romp. Beautiful game and a great challenging story/world. Not a sandbox at all but well done for what it is. And being B2P its a perfect side game or just a temporary fix.
