TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Utility poles are prime targets for vandals, but now you can use your smartphone to help fight back.
Residents in the Midvale Park neighborhood get together every weekend to paint over graffiti, but they can't touch utility poles. Mainly because Tucson Electric Power says it's a safety issue.
But the company just set up a new online tool where you can snap a photo of the graffiti and send it in.
TEP says they have employees out every weekday responding to graffiti and the photos will especially help them in that effort.
Midvale park President Joe Miller says its important to use these tools and keep partnerships between the neighborhoods and the city.
"We all feel the same about [graffiti]," he said. "It's a blight and this blight invites all kinds of other troubles."
To use the new online tool, take a picture of graffiti on any TEP equipment and either email it to firstname.lastname@example.com or fill out an online form and attach the image.

Mark Sanford
Love, Shmove
July 01, 2009
I must admit I've been a little perplexed by all the cooing and ooing over Mark Sanford's being in loooooove. Awwww, look at him, we are urged. He's not just another self-important dirtbag with pants aflame. He's found his other half. He's found The One. He's found his Soul Mate. As the heart-sick governor so helpfully explained to the AP, "This was a whole lot more than a simple affair; this was a love story. A forbidden on, a tragic one, but a love story at the end of the day." (Nope. Nothing self-aggrandizing about that statement.) OK. Fine. The governor fell in love.
Why Hypocrisy Is The Least Of Mark Sanford's Sins
June 29, 2009
Alan Wolfe is a TNR contributing editor and director of the Boisi Center for Religion and American Public Life at Boston College. His latest book is The Future of Liberalism (Knopf, 2009). Charging Mark Sanford and his fellow roaming Republicans with hypocrisy is a story that writes itself. Yes Democrats, the most conspicuous being John Edwards, do these kinds of things too. But Democrats, or so my friends and colleagues tell me, have not made conventional sexual morality their path to power.
Love Actually
June 27, 2009
"I never figured Sanford for anything like this," mused one of the governor's constituents in The New York Times this week. Mark Sanford's friends are aghast. His neighbors shake their heads. His community simply could not see it coming. The Internet is in convulsions: Who would have thought Sanford capable of this? Give it a rest. The man didn't commit murder here. He's in love. Anarchic, hurtful, but seemingly true love. Governor Sanford of South Carolina had what would, under ordinary circumstances, be considered an ideal romantic relationship in the 21st century.
Who Leaked The Affair?
June 25, 2009
As Jason notes, while the blogosphere may have provided much of the necessary skepticism toward the evolving explanations of Mark Sanford's several-day absence, it's unlikely the story of his affair would have broken (at least any time soon), had The State newspaper not received a few anonymous tips--specifically, a few romantic emails provided to the paper last December, and word that Sanford would be arriving at the Atlanta airport on a plane from Argentina yesterday morning. Both of these tips seem as though they could only have come from an awfully small universe of possible sources: someo
Grover Norquist, Quote Machine
June 25, 2009
I think reporters (inculding myself) tend to rely a bit too much on Grover Norquist for quotes, but you can't blame them when he offers up gems like the one he gave Dave Weigel about Mark Sanford: "It does indicate that men who oppose federal spending at the local level are irresistible to women." If only he'd put his talents toward comedy instead of politics. --Jason Zengerle
Sanford '12!
June 24, 2009
At least one Sanford supporter is hanging tough: the operator of the website sanford2012.org, who writes: Where in the world is Mark Sanford? Wednesday, June 24, 2009 Well, thanks to the invasive media, starting today he is back at work in Columbia. So where has he been hiding? I'll let the government-run media fight over which trails he was at. But don't believe for a second that his wife and other VIP's didn't know where he was. Quite simply, he left for a few days to clear his head. He did this without taking his private security detail, which you and I pay for.
Sanford's Next Recess: Spring Break In Daytona
June 24, 2009
Hmmmm. I have to mildly disagree with Crowley. Yes, Mark Sanford's impromptu 5-day mental health break to Buenos Aires shows him to be quite the cool, unpredictable, unconventional guy--which would be fine if he were Joe Shmoe. But he's not. He's the governor of South Carolina.
You Say Appalachia, I Say Argentina (er, Updated)...
June 24, 2009
Granted, if you're the governor of a state, it is a little strange to disappear for almost a week without telling your staff your whereabouts or setting up any kind of contingency planning. As South Carolina's The State reports: S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford arrived in the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport this morning, having wrapped up a seven-day visit to Buenos Aires, Argentina, he said.
Sanford: Not Quite Thoreau
June 24, 2009
Turns out Mark Sanford wasn't hiking, he took a solo trip to Buenos Aires. It's eccentric, to be sure, but I still maintain there's something cool about that. Don't lots of people spend a fair amount of time fantasizing about making a getaway like that? If you can't show any harm done to the peoples' business, and his family doesn't care, I'm not sure what the big deal is. (That said, after a planned trip there with friends fell apart last December, I myself considered going to Buenos Aires solo, and decided it was perhaps a slightly odd city to visit on one's own..) --Michael Crowley
Mark Sanford, Modern Thoreau?
June 23, 2009
Yes, it was flaky and probably even reckless for Mark Sanford to go AWOL. Returning to work, say, sometime on Monday would've been a whole lot better than his planned return tomorrow. But I hope that amid the ridicule and retribution people will also stop to ask when it became outright bizarre for a man to to want to--god forbid--unplug and enjoy a little solitude. Especially in a world like this. --Michael Crowley

Pehr Henrik Ling
Pehr Henrik Ling (15 November 1766, Södra Ljunga – 3 May 1839, Stockholm)[1] pioneered the teaching of physical education in Sweden. Ling is often mistakenly credited as the father of Swedish massage, though that title actually belongs to Johann Georg Mezger.[2]
Early life[edit]
Ling was born in Södra Ljunga, Småland in 1766. His parents were minister Lars Peter Ling and Hedvig Maria (Hedda) Molin. On his maternal side, Ling was the great-great grandson of the famous Swedish scientist Olof Rudbeck (1630–1702), discoverer of the human lymphatic system. After graduating from the Växjö gymnasium in 1792, he studied theology at Lund University from 1793, and completed his degree at Uppsala University in 1799.[1]
Following his studies at university, Ling lived abroad for seven years. Ling studied at the University of Copenhagen, where he was taught modern languages. He then traveled to Germany, France, and England. Financial difficulties and rheumatism caused him to return to Sweden.
Back in Sweden, Ling began a routine of daily exercise, including fencing, and in 1805 was appointed as a master of fencing at Lund University (1805). Having discovered that his daily exercises had restored his health, Ling decided to apply this experience for the benefit of others. He saw the potential for adapting these techniques to promote better health in many situations and thus attended classes on anatomy and physiology, and went through the entire curriculum for the training of a doctor. He then elaborated a system of gymnastics, exercises, and maneuvers divided into four branches: (1) pedagogical, (2) medical, (3) military, and (4) aesthetic, which carried out his theories and demonstrated the scientific rigor to be integrated or approved by established medical practitioners.
After several attempts to interest the Swedish government, Ling at last obtained government cooperation in 1813,[3] when the Royal Gymnastic Central Institute for the training of gymnastic instructors was opened in Stockholm, with Ling appointed as principal. The orthodox medical practitioners were opposed to the claims made by Ling and his disciples. However, by 1831, Ling was elected a member of the Swedish General Medical Association (Svenska läkaresällskapet), which demonstrated that his methods were regarded as worthy of professional recognition. He was elected a member of the Swedish Academy in 1835 and became a titular professor the same year.
When Ling died in 1839, he had charged three of his pupils with carrying on his legacy. These pupils were Lars Gabriel Branting (1799–1881), who succeeded Ling as principal of the Institute; August Georgii, who became sub-director of the Institute; and his own son, Hjalmar Ling (1820–1886). These three, along with Major Thure Brandt, who from c. 1861 specialized in the treatment of women (gynecological gymnastics), are regarded as the pioneers of Swedish medical gymnastics.
Although Ling was usually credited as the father of Swedish massage, it was not a part of Ling's Gymnastic Movements nor the curriculum of the Royal Central Gymnastic Institute founded by Ling in 1813.[2] The "Swedish massage" techniques effleurage (long, gliding strokes), petrissage (lifting and kneading the muscles), friction (firm, deep, circular rubbing movements), tapotement (brisk tapping or percussive movements), and vibration (rapidly shaking or vibrating specific muscles) are mainly due to Johann Georg Mezger (1838–1909).[2]
Some sources mention that Ling learned massage from a Chinese friend, Ming, but this was an invention of Ling's rivals, in an effort to discredit his work. Although Ling was probably aware of Chinese massage, he instead developed a system of integrated manual therapy, combining physical training and gymnastic procedures with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology.[4] He was the first to publish and popularize such a system with modern scientific knowledge.
Ling's system of medical gymnastics also influenced later institutions and systems. The Gymnastic Orthopedic Institute was founded in Stockholm in 1822 by Nils Åkerman, which from 1827 received a government grant. Around 1857, Gustaf Zander developed a medico-mechanical system of gymnastics, known by his name, and started his Zander Institute at Stockholm in 1865. At the Stockholm Gymnastic Central Institute, qualified medical faculties have supervised the medical department since 1864.
Broadly speaking, there have been two streams of development in the Swedish gymnastics founded on Ling's beginnings, either in a conservative direction, making certain forms of gymnastic exercises subsidiary to the prescriptions of orthodox medical science, or else in an extremely progressive direction, making these exercises a substitute for any other treatment, and claiming them as cures for diseases. A representative of the latter, more extreme section was Henrik Kellgren (1837–1916), who had a special school and following.
Other accounts of Dr Ling's practice and philosophies were published: a Handbook of Medical Gymnastics (English edition, 1899) by Anders Wide of Stockholm represents the more conservative practice. Henrik Kellgren's system is partially based on Ling's, and is described in The Elements of Kellgren's Manual Treatment (1903) by Edgar F. Cyriax, who, before earning his MD at Edinburgh, had served at the Stockholm Institute as a gymnastic director. See also the encyclopedic work Sweden: its people and its industry: historical and statistical handbook (1904), p. 348, edited by Gustav Sandburg for the Swedish government.

Airport zoning board created
The Kleberg County Commissioners Court and the Kingsville City Commission took simultaneous actions at their respective meetings Monday to create the Kingsville-Kleberg County Joint Airport Zoning Board with a primary goal of protecting Naval Air Station Kingsville against encroachment from incompatible land use surrounding the base.
Creation of a joint airport zoning board was part of the recommendations of the Joint Land Use Study that was adopted by the Kingsville City Commission in April of 2008, Ken Clark, director of Development Services, said in a memo to the city commission.
Monday's decision by the city and county to establish the JAZB followed a Jan. 13 meeting by the Joint Land Use Implementation Committee, which recommended that the city and county pass resolutions to establish the board.
The board is composed of five members, including two chosen by the city and two chosen by the county. The fifth person, who would serve as chairman of the JAZB, is to be chosen by the other four members.
Initially, members were to be appointed in conjunction with the passage of the resolutions on Monday, however, the county commissioners court did not include that portion on its Monday meeting agenda.
The county is expected to choose its JAZB representatives in February. The city did provide for the immediate appointment of its representatives on the Monday city meeting agenda, but opted instead to delay the appointments in order to get a broader field of candidates for the post.
Over the past 30 years Kingsville has taken steps to protect the naval air-training base from encroachment starting with the adoption and subsequent expansion of the Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone that designates various land and take-off high activity zones.
The latest effort was the Department of Defense funded Joint Land Use Study undertaken by the city and Navy.
Cmdr. Scott Allen, executive officer at NAS Kingsville, reminded county commissioners that the Navy will have no decision making authority with the JAZB and Navy representatives would be available in an advisory capacity only.
The resolution adopted by both governing bodies states that the joint airport zoning board is necessary to coordinate future planning efforts of the City of Kingsville and Kleberg County to avoid airport hazards and to maintain the operation capacity of NAS Kingsville.
The resolution also recognizes the continued operation of NAS Kingsville is important to the economy of the city, county and region and that future operational capacity should be protected for the benefit of the community.

Fund Goal and Approach
The fund seeks to match the total return of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index.To pursue its goal, the fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in bonds that are included in the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index (or other instruments with similar economic characteristics). In seeking to match index performance, the manager uses a passive management approach and purchases all or a representative sample of the bonds comprising the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index. Because the fund has expenses, performance will tend to be slightly lower than that of the index. To maintain liquidity, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in various short-term, fixed-income securities and money market instruments. The fund attempts to have a correlation between its performance and that of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index of at least .95 before expenses. A correlation of 1.00 would mean that the fund and the index were perfectly correlated.
The fund's investments are selected by a "sampling" process, which is a statistical process used to select bonds so that the fund has investment characteristics that closely approximate those of the index. By using this sampling process, the fund typically will not invest in all of the securities in the index.
The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Index is a broad-based, unmanaged index that covers the U.S. dollar-denominated, investment grade (Baa/BBB or higher), fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The index includes bonds from the U.S. Treasury, U.S. government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities sectors. Although most of the securities in the index are issued by the U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government and agency issuers, the index may include dollar-denominated bonds issued by foreign issuers in which the fund may invest to the extent the index contains such securities. Barclays is not affiliated with the fund, and it does not sell or endorse the fund, nor does it guarantee the performance of the fund or the index.
The fund is subject generally to interest rate, credit, liquidity, prepayment and extension risk (as to mortgage-related holdings), call, sector, and market risks, to varying degrees, all of which are more fully described in the funds prospectus.
Generally, all other factors being equal, bond prices are inversely related to interest-rate changes and rate increases can cause price declines.
Because the fund uses an indexing strategy, it does not attempt to manage market volatility, use defensive strategies or reduce the effects of any long-term periods of poor performance among bonds.
The correlation between fund and index performance may be affected by the funds expenses and use of sampling techniques, changes in securities markets, changes in the composition of the index and the timing of purchases and redemptions of fund shares.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. Download a prospectus, or a summary prospectus, if available, that contains this and other information about the fund, and read it carefully before investing.

Well this speaker wire surprised me...in a good way. I bought 50ft of it just to have around if I needed a long run and I ended up running this 12ga. and the 16ga. version to bi-wire speakers and ZOW! Dynamic, big, bold, exciting sound, yet its able to convey the nuances and deliver the musical message superbly. This may be considered in-wall speaker wire, but it delivers the sonic goods in my system, and Im very happy I bought it.

MAP: Where the (Subway) Wi-Fi Is
Thursday, April 25, 2013

Wi-Fi and cell phone service is now available at thirty-six New York City subway stations. Where, you ask? Read on.

Free Wi-Fi Goes Underground as NYC Subway Stations Get Connected
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
(Daniel Tucker -- New York, NY, WNYC) Six subway stations in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood now have free Wi-Fi as part of a program bringing cell phone, data and Internet access to 36 stations by the end of 2012.
Many subway riders were pleasantly surprised by the news as they went through the turnstiles at 14th Street and 7th Avenue to catch the 1, 2 or 3 trains on Monday. Igor Salay was already using the hotspot to check his email.
"Nice speed. Very fast," said Salay, 30, an MTA employee who fixes MetroCard machines. "Perfect."
Not everyone was so bullish on the new service.
"In the future, nobody will want to speak to each other," said 79-year-old Harold Arnold. He prefers talking to texting and wishes the subway would remain the last bastion against a connected culture.
He lamented that an above-ground trend — texting youths crashing into him on the sidewalk — might now extend to the subway platform. "People are like zombies walking around the city," he said.
The wired stops include stations at 6th, 7th and 8th Avenues at 14th Street, as well as the C/E station at 23rd Street.
Google Offers is sponsoring the first phase of the subway's free Wi-Fi hotspots roll out — for a total of 36 stations. Wi-Fi provider Boingo will bring the service to 277 subway stations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx over the next several years.

LaHood: Cellphone Use While Driving A "National Epidemic"
Thursday, June 07, 2012
By Kate Hinds
US Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has stepped up federal efforts to combat distracted driving, which he says are responsible for ten percent of all traffic fatalities.
The Blueprint for Ending Distracted Driving, released Thursday, builds on efforts first piloted in Syracuse and Hartford. It calls for more public awareness, police enforcement, and driver education about the dangers of texting while driving. It also encourages the 11 remaining states that lack anti-texting laws to pass them.
While a recent government survey found that teen seatbelt use is up and drunk driving is down, over half of all high school seniors admitted to texting or emailing while driving.
On his blog, LaHood wrote that deaths from distracted driving are entirely preventable. "In 2010, at least 3,092 people were killed on our nation's roads in distraction-affected crashes. That's approximately one in every ten fatalities, and we can put an end to it."
The DOT is also funding a $2.4 million pilot program in California and Delaware that will examine whether increased police enforcement coupled with advertising and news coverage can significantly reduce distracted driving.
The blueprint can be downloaded here (pdf).

French anti-terrorist investigators are handling the case of a soldier stabbed while on duty near Paris on Saturday evening, prosecutors have confirmed.
The soldier was wounded while on patrol in La Defense, a business district west of the French capital.
Private First Class Cedric Cordier was approached from behind and stabbed in the neck with a small-bladed knife.
Defence Minister Jean Yves Le Drian told reporters that he had been targeted because of his profession.

Last week the Supreme Court of the United States exceeded its authority by declaring an unconstitutional act of Congress constitutional. While there are many powerful weapons in the fight that must be fought to dismantle ObamaCare, one of the best items in the arsenal is nullification.
Simply stated, nullification is a concept of legal statutory construction that endows each state with the right to nullify, or invalidate, any federal measure that a state deems unconstitutional. Nullification is founded on the assertion that the sovereign states formed the union, and as creators of the compact, they hold ultimate authority as to the limits of the power of the central government to enact laws that are applicable to the states and the citizens thereof.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's ObamaCare decision, state legislators and governors are boldly asserting there right to restrain the federal government and are accordingly considering bills that will stop ObamaCare's multitude of mandates at the state border.
One of these noble state legislators is State Representative Mike Ritze of Oklahoma (pictured, along with the Oklahoma State Capitol). Since its introduction by President Obama two years ago, Representative Ritze has fought to protect the citizens of his state from the burdens imposed by not only the individual mandate of ObamaCare, but from all effect from so many unlawful intrusions into family life that are part of the federal healthcare program.

Yes, a garden can be stunning and low maintenance, a haven for wildlife in urban environments, a self-sustaining ecosystem - all at the same time.
Landscape health starts with intelligent design. In this course you will explore the intricate relationships within ecosystems, and how you can work with them to create vibrantly beautiful and healthy gardens. Be prepared for an eye-opening experience that will challenge some commonly held beliefs, and will leave you empowered with a new understanding of how a garden works.
This course would be of interest to:

Heide and Christina,
Yes it is working. Our challenge as students is to listen to what you are delivering through the absence of filters. Those filters that are woven from past accumulation of teachings into the fabric of our belief systems... then not thoroughly questioned until challenged. There is much resistance inherited in this process. What is it...mistrust? Or feeling the shakiness of the poor foundation we have constructed for ourselves...watching that fabric loosen in readiness, erode and crumble to fall away? Yikes!
Oh but to open ourselves like a vessel and let your words pour through like welcomed, fresh, pure water...It is so inspiring!
In my questioning to how am I to take notes to learn this the best, I saw that what you are telling us is so simple that a four year old could understand. Then it dawned on me that I could write my notes for that type of audience. Then the hilarious, inspirational thought came to me; that if I followed this idea/inspiration, even my agnostic, PHD candidate, biologist father would get it. And that is something I could aspire to.
I am the editor and co-founder of a parent/child newsletter at my son's elementary school and want to start a column on ecological landscaping and care. Our school prides itself on its active organic gardening and ecosystem "stewardship" so is willing and open to learning and observing. But mostly I am interested in creating a curriculum in this for the primary ages. What do you think? (about both ideas. in the newsletter, can I quote you or use you as a reference? Pass on course information?) I realize that I have no idea just what I am committing myself to, (considering your story about creating the curriculum we are following!) but it only feels perfectly right.

A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present (Perennial Classics)by Howard Zinn
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of — and in the words of — America's women, factory workers, African Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. Zinn shows that many of our country's greatest battles — the fights for an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, women's rights, racial equality — were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance.
Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's years in office as well as the 2000 election and the War on Terrorism, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history.
"Professor Zinn writes with an enthusiasm rarely encountered in the leaden prose of academic history, and his text is studded with telling quotations from labor leaders, war resisters and fugitive slaves." Eric Foner, The New York Times Book Review
"[A] classic of revisionist American history....Zinn's work is an vital corrective to triumphalist accounts, but his uncompromising radicalism shades, at times, into cynicism." Publishers Weekly
"One of the most important books I have ever read in a long life of reading....It's a wonderful, splendid book — a book that should be read by every American, student or otherwise, who wants to understand his country, its true history, and its hope for the future." Howard Fast, author of Spartacus and The Immigrants
Almost 700 pages long, this completely revised and updated edition brings a populist classic kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Written by an activist historian, A People's History presents dimensions of American history formerly glossed over in the high textbooks.
Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History of the United States is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of — and in the words of — America's women, factory workers, African Americans, Native Americans, working poor, and immigrant laborers.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [689]-708) and index.

New Dream of Cenarius for feral
Post Reply
Return to board index
Post by
Hi guys
I was just wondering if anyone of you have tested the new Dream of Cenarius talent on the PTR for guardian druids together with the glyph of frenzied regeneration? How much does healing touch heal for?
Seems for me like it would result in a really strong heal if timed to together. Better choice than the counterparts perhaps.

Taking Dream of Cenarius over Heart of the Wild will still be a poor decision for tanks.

renamon, wtf :D
Nexuiz GPL is a fun and free GPL deathmatch shooter released in 2005. It is a free game: source code is free software and data is free content.
The first 2 weeks of march brought several things, which you can sum up as work in progress.
Posted by cortez666 on Mar 15th, 2010
Hello, This time i bring you some 'real' news. There are many new things to present, so lets start with the development section.
Oblivion, which some of you might know from a pretty popular UT3 mod, got into the world of low poly modeling. During the last days he made 4 models.
Gak, which is more or less avaible in nexuiz. Just a few adjustments are needed.
Pyria, a remake of the model, which is already in the game. It needs to be rigged.
Umbra, it gave the basics for the Pyria remake. This one also needs to be rigged.
The last one is Epsilon 14 and it also waits to be rigged. So if you know something about animating and you are willing to help, head over to the editing section of the alientrap forums, where you download the models.
MirceaKitsune ported a Renamon model to Nexuiz.
If you think ' Hey, this could be my new playermodel!' grab it here:
As you know from the last new tZork is working on vehicles for Nexuiz also there are some news.
But first i would like to show you the Wakizashi showcase.
Then there the spiderbots, which recieved a new hud these days.
There where a bunch of complaints about the new hud, which was introduced with 2.5. So FruitieX and Dib took it as a reason to make it more handy and optimise it for your own playing style.
As always there are some map updates and new release. djsupport (firefly) and i (downer) updated our maps. these updates can be found here: Alientrap.org
There was also new release, which came from Sepelio. He did a quiet good job on the visuals and also on the game (as far as i can tell you after onne round of minsta on it)
Grab this map here: Alientrap.org
Bartuc's 50 brush contest lead to some supprising results. You can find them from this post onwards: Alientrap.org
So thats it for now, if you have any questions regarding features of nexuiz and gameplay aspects, ask them. If you want a show off features, tell me (I will see what i can arrange).
renamon, wtf :D
that hud is impressive. i dont like the game itself, cause quake live and warsow are better, but this hud is really something.
if you dont like the game give some examples why? there are always people open for changes
I sincerely hope Renamon is not part of the game.
- Even reporting it as news, it's a CONVERSION of another's model. I don't even see the author's credit who made it clear in the news.
- It's also a furry model, those are subject to ridiculous overprotection of sue threats from authors even if it's fan art or even a conversion from another game
- It's also IP of Bandai or so. If you know what Digimon is, you know this is a no-no to showcase IP infringement as news for another game. This is BAD
- Unrelated, but furry avatars are the first step to tainting a game's fanbase. It's proven in history with Doom (no attention until Tails appeared in Skulltag, and now the community is overrun with incompetence...) Considering Nexuiz already has a fork that's exclusively furry as well (and vorey, ew) it's already on the highway to yiffhell.
If you think i'm crazy, there's no denying some furry mentality phenomenon when something is an animal. on two legs. big/bigger than humans. Particularily canine based.
Yes, I tried to put this comment as positive and unbiased as I could. The tl;dr version:
Brace yourselves
I agree with leilei; furries are the bane of any community. I don't believe I've ever encountered a competent furry player.
Its not a part of the game and its not going to be a part of the game. its just an ordinary costum model. MirceaKitsune gave to cerdit to the original author in thread i linked.
Re: renamo and leilei comment
I think most people have no idea what you are talking about. And I get *all* /b/ jokes. So we are safe... mostly.
Have you played TF2?
Not long enough. You've never seen a "HORSEDICK" associated with like 5 furry steam groups that takes a Sniper slot just to hang in the ready room shooting at the wall repeatedly, for 'the lulz' (yeah because being a retard is apparently funny). A lot of them do this too, this is just one top-of-the-head example.
And then there's maps by them that must put their fursona in. cp_orange_x3 is an example. There's no proper place for a huge white wolf head.
And finally there is... ANIMAL FORTRESS >_<
What the Hell?
No, I have not played enough. As a dev, I like Quake and all Quake things, but as a gamer turret defense games and battlefield-like games are more my thing. I don't like TF2 much.. hum.. QuakeWorld versions of TF are better, methinks.

At all study visits participants will undergo interviews, a physical exam and laboratory analysis for HPV for a total of 5 clinical visits scheduled every 6 months over 2 years of follow-up. In addition, at each study visit, participants will provide blood for HPV antibody analyses. At enrollment, visit 3 and visit 5 a Pap smear test will be done. At the enrollment visit, study participants will complete a questionnaire designed to assess social and behavioral risk factors for the acquisition of HPV. At each subsequent study visit, participants will be asked to provide updated information to assess changes in risk behaviors such as condom use, relations with new partners, and tobacco use.

Hi, pretty new to the MYOG scene.Problem is I'm based in the UK, and can't seem to find Apex here. I'm looking at making my own basic quilt.profabrics seems to be a good place to pick up materials, but they don't seem to offer much in the way of insulation.Can anybody help me find something usable in the UK?Cheers
Edited by watkins on 01/16/2012 10:23:45 MST.
Try extremtextil.de
They don't appear to do it, can anybody advise me as to alternatives?
They sell Primaloft which is supposed to be good
Hi Tom. I started looking recently and am struggling to find anything either. That extremtextil site has primaloft and down but both require more work than Apex. Hope someone can be more use than me!Here's a few other useful sites I've found, though none sell Apex.http://www.shelby.fi/catalog/default.phphttp://www.pennineoutdoor.co.uk/index.asphttp://www.fabrics-n-stuff.co.uk/http://www.profabrics.co.uk/
HiWhen I made a quilt, I bought climashield xp from the US (a few years ago - before Apex)- it only took 10 days to arriveBut, if you go for Extremetextiles, I believe that Primaloft sport is more suitable for DIY - needs less quilting than PL1.FYI I used 5oz XP and in the UK, wouldn't expect to use it below 4 degrees - even in a tent. It's just not warm enough for me for other than 2 season use. That would be with clothing worn aswell.
It's not really a question of time for delivery...the postage from US to UK is what bothers me. Then of course I'd pay tax on entry to the UK, this would end up costing more than twice what it would cost if I lived in the US.
Edited by watkins on 01/18/2012 16:41:09 MST.
Hi TimHave you had any luck finding 3D mesh for straps? You may not have tried of course.In the UK all I found so far is this, which is £8.40 delivered for a piece 70cm by 57cm.[url]http://www.profabrics.co.uk/shop/show_product_info.php?id=PM6[/url]extremtextil.de have it as well, and it starts at €7.90 for a piece 50cm by 50cm. That's excluding delivery though. Any other ideas? They both seem steep but I've never tried buying it before so maybe it's normal.

(Dress: C/O Jessica Wright for Inlovewithfashion, Belt: American Apparel, Shoes: Topshop, Weird Dance Face: C/O me)
Now, I'm not usually one who opts for body con. Don't get me wrong, I love it on others, and think it can be one of the most flattering types of garment when worn correctly, but on me I usually just prefer something a little less shapely and something a bit looser (mainly for when the food baby comes after dinner!)
Saying this, when I saw this dress from TOWIE's very own Jess Wright I fell in love. I think it's the fact the sleeves offer a little something else and mean it's not solely focussed on the body skimming dress, but maybe because it offered me the opportunity to prance around in a somewhat Kate Bush manor, not feeling (that) stupid! Additionally, the dress was so soft, and although I teamed a belt with it (I seem to have a thing about putting a belt round EVERY dress) I think it would look just as good without, and was uber comfy- bonus!
Also, you may have noticed some gorgeous little blogs and shops taking a spot on my sidebar! On Twitter I mentioned that for this month I'd be offering free advertising as a trial (mainly to test how successful it is for people) and if all goes well will be doing it next month for a small fee, so if you're interested let me know and I'd be happy to have your ad- obviouslyy spaces will be limited (less than this month) so let me know asap!
Happy Halloween all!

(Dress: Motelrocks, Jumper: Whistles, Ring: Whistles, Bag: Mulberry, Shoes: New Look)
One of my current favourite outfit combinations! Usually when it comes to layering and 'experimenting' with clothes, I seriously lack in the imagination department. I recently bought this dress from Motel in their sale, having fallen in love with it in the summer, but never really regarded it as something I could exactly wear during the autumn months.
I would never have thought to layer this dress underneath this jumper, but due to the fact it's backless and not the thickest as dresses go, it seemed the most appropriate way to wear it when the chilly weather begins to kick in! I also quite like the fact the jumper looks a little 'untucked' and messy, meaning it's not entirely 'prim and proper'. I also teamed it with this AMAZING new 'Dorothy-shoes' esque nail varnish from Barry M, which, although peels off within a few hours, dries like the speed of light and looks AWESOME on, so I am happy with that!
I hope you've all had nice weekends! I'm back in Liverpool, and feeling seriously homesick and missing London! The fact my friend told me I was missing his Beyonce themed party this weekend did not help (may have to just sit in my flat blasting B to compensate, watching her FAB new video for Countdown - what.a.babe !) but hopefully I'll get settled again soon!

Cosmopolitan Blog Awards 2011 & a BIG thank you!
Saturday, 29 October 2011
(Pictures taken from: Cosmopolitan, Photobooth.co.uk, Missguided.co.uk and Stylistpick- no proper outfit photos I'm afraid, but I'm wearing a dress from ASOS, shoes from Topshop and a borrowed bag- thanks Gemma!)
Hello! First things, first, (before all the EXCITING stuff) I'm very sorry I haven't posted since last week, I have had one of the busiest weeks ever, and although blogging certainly hasn't taken a backseat I've not had a spare minute to post! After hopping to London on Tuesday night, everything has been non-stop- but I am not complaining!
As you may or may not have heard, I headed to London for the Cosmopolitan blog awards this week, and was amazingly (I'm literally still in shock) given the winners title of 'Best New Fashion Blog'. I feel so incredibly undeserving compared to the other amazing girls in my category, but unfathomably thankful nonetheless. I'm going to try not to gush too much after doing so for the past few days on most social networking sites, but I really cannot put into words how thankful I am for everyone who voted for me in the awards, it means so so much to me, and can't explain how touched I am to have such lovely people voting for me, reading and commenting on my blog, I am speechless (gush over- but hey, I meant it).
I had such a lovely night at the awards, and met some really really lovely girls and it was great to finally put some names to some (real) faces! I also had a lovely time post-awards having girlie chats at the hotel with the lovely Sarah, Lauren, Gem, Lyzi and Lily - thank you for making a nerve wracking day less scary, and putting up with all my waffling!
Thank you all again for voting, and sorry about my immense awkwardness in most photos of the night, all a little overwhelming! Hope you all have a lovely Saturday, and follow the people from this post for the best X-Factor tweets!

Hello! I took this outfit picture last week (cheating a bit!) but hey the weather was nice- and now there seems to be a real nip kicking in! I have such a busy week coming up next week, which I am very excited/nervous about! I'm back home on Tuesday for the first time since I've been at uni, which I am SO excited about. Then will be at the Cosmo Blog Awards on Wednesday which I am unfathomably nervous/excited for, I hope I'm not too much of an awkward turtle!
Anyway,I hope you all enjoyed the interview with Helen yesterday, she genuinely has such huge talent and passion and I seriously recommend you keep an eye out for it's release! Anyway, I had my first shift at work today which was lovely, and have come home to pasta (all I seem to eat- but have now mastered the perfect amount) and The X Factor! I've seen some absolutely hilario tweets this evening- so I salute the people I follow for oozing such wit, I always feel so unimaginative when I read them! If you fancy reading some diamonds when watching have a look at Caitlin Moran, Gem (well, duh) and Humphrey Ker!
Hope you're all having lovely weekends, and wrapping up for this chilly weather!
p.s my gorgeous friend Daisy is tryng to sell these gorgeous shoes here, so take a look if you want a stunning unworn bargain!

Liv Loves: Lionheart Magazine
Friday, 21 October 2011
With an abundance of magazines constantly appearing on newstands and the internet, it's sometimes hard to keep up with where the real quality and well written talent lies. So, when I found out the gorgeous Helen was starting up the new publication Lionheart Magazine, I couldn't wait to find out more. With pages laden with art, illustration, fashion and music- I knew I was in for a treat. I caught up with Helen, to talk exciting fashion shoots, her cat Francois and why Lionheart isn't just another magazine...
Hi Helen, for those of you that don't know much about you- tell us a little!
Hello, lovely to meet you! I am Hels, writer and creator of Lionheart Magazine. Just turned 27, on the brink of realising a long-held mountainous ambition to create a printed magazine for independent females like me, after something that speaks to them and that will carry on giving a peachy glow in years to come. No compromises, what goes in this magazine is a collection of greatness, honest and true.
You've just created the amazing soon-to-be released Lionheart magazine, how would you describe it in 5 words?
Friendly, genuine, graceful, witty and beautiful.
What can we expect in Issue One?
Ooh, so much! Interviews with inspirations - from I Break Horses', Maria, to Prophetik's Jeff Garner and Texan blogger, Bleubird Vintage. As well illustrations by the likes of Abby Wright and Daria Hlazatova, and gorgeous articles written by brilliant writers - such as Cherry Healey - a gardening column, health column, craft area and style chat from you Miss Olivia!
What has been your favourite piece, or project to work on for the magazine?
I can honestly say all of it. I have learnt so much. The fashion shoot was a fun, relaxed, girly day, whilst talking to Pat Albeck - design extraordinaire from the 50s to the present day - for two hours on the phone was an honour. However, it's been the collaborating and support of all the fantastically talented people I know that has been one of the very best factors for me. I can't thank them enough.
What inspired you to begin Lionheart?
I couldn't find anything that spoke to me. I'd buy magazines and not feel like I could relate to the words, ideals and aspirations. What about being happy, learning new skills, developing your mind and writing that's personal and unique? I felt like I was screaming into a black hole with these requests, when I knew from talking to people, that I was not alone in wanting an intelligent, beautiful magazine, displaying talents, inspirational people and style. Eventually I decided it was time to try and make something, follow the dream and see what happens. No publishers compromising, no ethos altered, just Lionheart Magazine. For better or worse, though hopefully BETTER!
The budding question- when is it released and where can we all grab a copy?!
November, with bravery as its the theme. It will be available in select shops and independent record shops. It will also be available from lionheartmagazine.wordpress.com - I will have all the boxes delivered to my flat. My cat, Francois will have to make space. Exciting!
What's next for Helen & Lionheart?
I am committed to Lionheart and I hope that people will buy the magazine and really, really enjoy it. Even if I only get one issue out, I will be happy and proud, I am showing people what I think we - as strong, caring and independent, modern women - would love/benefit and grow from. I will continue to write, frolic about the countryside, be mesmerised by the sea and try to articulate music, fashion and life. Whatever happens, there is nothing I love more that being lost in my imagination. That said, I want to be creating Lionheart issues forever if I can. I really believe in it.

Thursday, 20 October 2011
(Top: C/O Ze Karssen via Frank & Doll, Shorts: C/O Mink Pink via Frank & Doll, Jacket: Miss Selfridge, Boots: Vintage, Necklace: C/O Gogo Philip & Gift)
Every now and then you'll come across a new buzzing clothing brand that you fall in love with. Arguably, mine are probably new online boutique Frank & Doll. Home to brands such as Mink Pink, Zoe Karssen, Mischa Barton, Evil Twin and Rock n Rose- Frank and Doll already have a wide and affordable selection of amazing pieces, with new lines coming in every day.
I was lucky enough to be sent the gorgeous shirt seen here as well as these awesome shorts and this tee. Although this is probably not a look I'd usually go for, teaming these two pieces together created something a little more, dare I say 'edgy' (eww!) and less ladylike and more 'grunge' which is perfectly welcomed to my wardrobe every now and then. Living in jeans, I thought these shorts would bring a new lease of life to my wardrobe, and being the perfect autumnal maroon colour, teaming them with a cosy knit and collar is something I can't wait to channel (a la Michelle)!

(Dress: Whistles, Bag: Topshop, Necklace: Gift, Watch: Casio, Shoes: New Look, Lipstick: Topshop Mischief)
So this is what I wore for about an hour yesterday, not quite an outfit of the day- but more an outfit of the hour. Me, being a bit of a divvy, thought I had work- got dressed up then arrived to realise I was in a week early- so typical! However, for the hour that I did wear this I felt very sophisticated (which makes a welcome change!)
I bought these shoes (or 'flatforms' for the more trendy of us!) last week, before I realised my overdraft is in fact- not free money (definitely turning into a Rebecca Bloomwood in Confessions of a Shopaholic!). I was so thrilled with them when they arrived! The perfect height for not looking too dressy, but great for teaming with a pair of jeans to add a little something, plus, being from New Look have added comfort and did not cost an arm and a leg (just an arm).
Anyway, how are you all today? I hope your Mondays haven't been too bad! I woke up to a welcome visit for Mr Postman, and was graced with the October Glossybox- so you can expect a post on that in the next few days!

Hello! I'm sorry it's taken so long to bring you another outfit post! My champion photographer (the mister) visited this weekend, so I was able to get back on track (in terms of blogging!) Additionally, the sun came out- which made for some relatively commendable outfits, opposed to my more recent 'jeans and duffle' combination. I was also sent this gorgeous shirt by the lovely ladies at Frank & Doll (more on them to come this week!) which I have fallen in love with, and was so perfect for this bout of sun we've had!
Anyway, how have you all been? I've had such a busy few days, and have really tried to not let blogging slip too much. I started work last week, which was really good, have had two essays dropped on me for the end of this week and the end of the month (mild panic) and have had my boyfriend to stay which was lovely- although I'm now feeling rather homesick -indulges in cookies and crappy t.v-. I've got lots of exciting posts in the pipeline this week so stay tuned! Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway here, and if you haven't maybe even vote for me under 'New Fashion Blog' at the Cosmo Blog Awards- there's so much amazing competition, so do have a peek at the nominations- you will not be disappointed!

What's in Olivia's Bag?
Wednesday, 12 October 2011
In terms of originality, this post probably won't come up trumps, but hey- as women (and men- if you're reading?) no-one can ever resist a bit of a nosey can they? I've seen a few of these posts popping up recently and love having a peek at what others carry around- usually far more interesting than anything I ever carry! Plus, it gives me a perfect reason to clean up the crumbs and crumpled tissue from my bag, and make it look a little more organised!
Anyway, these are the essentials I carry with me on a day-to-day basis. I don't usually carry much make up with me, unless I'm going 'out-out' so these bits usually do me fine- and they're all things I swear by! I also usually carry a selection of leaflets and gig tickets that have usually been forgotten about, but make nice memories when it comes to the routinely bag clean out! Additionally, in fear of sounding like a huge bore- the Paperchase fountain pen shown above is my absolute favourite writing pen ever, I feel very prim and proper with a fountain pen!
Are there any things you never leave the house without? I hope you're all having a nice week, despite the chilly weather!

(Blouse: New Look, Belt: Vintage, Trousers: Topshop, Bag: Mulberry, Leopard Pumps: C/O Stylist Pick)
So, last week I had a moment of absolute compulsion. After seeing these trousers had sold out on the Topshop website, after pondering on whether to buy them I suddenly needed them- no other trouser would suffice. Anyway, after phoning up several branches across the U.K (the perk of studying up North and having family down south) and having no luck, I decided it probably wasn't to be. However, after discovering a Topshop in a spur of the moment trip to town in Nottingham, I came across two pairs, and nabbed them in seconds, and I'm really pleased I did. Despite feeling slightly concious and overly-theatrical when wearing them, part of me knows they are awesome, and I cannot wait to style them more. Here's some of the pictures inspiring me to parade them around town!

How would you wear these uber cool slacks?
P.S As many of you know, and may have woken up to this morning, the sad sad news of Steve Job's passing. Such an incredibly talented and inspiring man. Here are a couple of quotes of his I've felt particularly inspired by:
"We don't get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? And we've all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it." – Fortune
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." - Steve Jobs' Stanford Commencement Address
What an amazing guy. R.I.P Steve.

This was another picture taken last weekend at the beautiful Nottingham campus, so picturesque! I also hadn't worn this dress in such a long time, so it was a nice opportunity to take it for a spin (haha!). I'm trying not to spend too much, what with being a student and all, so making the most of what's in my wardrobe should really be my new 'thing', even with all the gorgeous AW clothes in shops...
ANYWAY! I tried not to delay this post TOO much this evening, but with the Great British Bake Off on, I couldn't help it- I'm a sucker for that programme (even though books for English are crying to be read). Watching it has certainly encouraged me to up the ante on my recipe posts, and really try and come up with some treats- with all my spare time at uni I have no excuses! I hope you've all had nice days, and those of you watching the GBBO enjoyed it! I know I did!

Hello! Just got back from a lovely (and emotional- (not good with goodbyes) weekend visit to see the Mr at Nottingham, hence the lack of posting! Obviously, if you're from the U.K the topic of the weather seems slightly predictable for such post- but omgz HOW HOT WAS IT. I honestly ended up packing about 6 different outfits for this visit, as my summer wardrobe brain has subsequently turned to mush following recent autumn purchases. We had a really nice time, browsing the uber modern and pretty plush Jubilee Campus, browsing the shops in town (I found the green spot Toppers trousers!) and teaching him how to cook ;)- bliss.
(The AMAZING library, the boy himself and some of the campus!)
I've got a pretty busy week this week- packed with lectures, a small lifetimes supply of laundry (yayz), starting a new job (hooray!) and reading, so posts may be a little scattered- bear with me! I hope you've all had lovely weekends! How did you all spend the sunshine?

Plant City, Florida -- It's a special day for some Bay area families as their Christmas presents arrive early. Three hundred members of the Florida National Guard are now home for the holidays.
It took the first of the guardsmen's big camouflage bags hitting the pavement beside a charter bus to convince some of the people who'd gathered that this Christmas miracle was really happening.
Shouts mixed with squeals as dozens of people darted to the soldier they'd missed so much. Hugs -- and kisses -- and just... holding him.
Finally back in America after nearly a year in the Middle East, these families thought their soldiers would be spending Christmas just out of reach -- stuck at an Army base in Mississippi.
But donations from businesses and 10 News viewers, $35,000 in all, got them buses to bring them home to the Bay area for the holidays.
Emotional embraces greeted guardsmen at three drop-off spots on Christmas Eve: here in Plant City, in Lake Wales, and in Arcadia.
But there may be no one else smiling as big as Jeremy and Donna Campbell.
"Hey! You look beautiful!" Jeremy said as he pushed back his camouflage cap and leaned in for another deep kiss from his wife.
He seemed so stunned because before he left, Donna almost never smiled.Her teeth and mouth were such, frankly, a mess -- she kept her lips tightly shut every picture. She blocked her mouth with her hand when she talked.
No more! Now her glowing white smile caught her husband's eye the moment he stepped down from the bus.
"I'm so happy for her, man. It means so much to her. It's been a plan of ours, a goal of ours, forever -- since we got together," Jeremy said as his voice wavered.
He looked away, fighting off tears. "To see it come to fruition like this is just -- she's such an outstanding woman -- she deserves it!"
While Sergeant Campbell served on the other side of the earth, Donna went through months of dental work -- extractions, replacements, and four root canals -- all donated by Coast Dental.
"It's been rough. I've been having to do all of this without telling him about it," Donna said. "And he's my best friend! I tell him everything."
From an unexpected holiday homecoming to a makeover that lets a wife smile at the soldier she loves, this Christmas, the people of Tampa Bay have come through.
"The patriotism in this state is ridiculous. It's like none I've ever seen before. And I'm always thankful for everything they do," Sergeant Campbell said.
"They go above and beyond, and just when you think that you've seen it all -- they come out and do stuff like this."
These soldiers have a special four-day pass to spend Christmas at home. On Friday, the same buses will bring them back to the base in Mississippi. They'll stay there until they come home for good early next year.
