If you want your site appear on GameProducer.NET, read this post and follow the instructions.
Now and then I get asked whether I could mention someone's blog or website here. Unfortunately my time is limited, but I think I found a solution that provides a win-win-win solution for me, you and to the other readers.
Only quality blogs with interesting content will be accepted.
I shall start presenting interesting blogs that link to GameProducer.NET. I will check the Technorati 'who is linking here' list now and then, I shall pick the latest blogs, and mention them here – in case they prove to be good. This system has 3 advantages: readers get information that might be interesting to them (I will hand pick each site, and as the Technorati provides the latest updated blogs it will keep away sites that never get updated), linkers get a high PageRank link and publicity from GameProducer.net with over thousands of regular reader each month. And of course I benefit by getting more links to gameproducer.net.
If you want to get your site displayed here, you need to do the following:
[1] Very important: I will only mention the links on top of Technorati list.
[2] You must have a blog at least partially related to gaming or game development – something that GameProducer.NET readers would be interested in.
[3] You must place a link to gameproducer.net (here's direct HTML code for you: GameProducer.NET). It doesn't matter where you put it, or how many times you mention it. You can put a permanent link, or mention GameProducer.NET in your blog post – whatever suits you.
[4] I suggest you to claim your blog to technorati and ping them when you post new entries. This is to ensure that Technorati picks your blog, thus increasing your chances to get linked from GameProducer.NET.
[5] Notice: I won't mention sites that don't provide useful information – spammers, don't bother.
Tips on increasing your chances to get mentioned
The more you update your blog the better chances you have to get displayed on top of Technorati list – and this will give you better chances to get mentioned in my blog. Make sure your blog meets a certain quality – that's what we want.
Fine way to increase your visibility (and increase your chances about getting mentioned) would be to mention this blog roundup in your blog, and trackback to this post. (Read a Trackback tutorial if you are unfamiliar with them. Here's a handy trackback tool in case you need one.)
Now – the first roundup of blogs that link to GameProducer.NET.
- The Obligatory Blog
- Janko in a Jar
- computer games
- Deuzeblog
- Casual Game Blogs
- The High Seas

This thread is directed specifically at those who try to maintain a balanced exercise/nutrition program.
At 72yo, I try (many times I don't succeed, but I try) to have a balanced exercise program.
For me, that is
- a variety of aerobic training activities - swimming, walking, bicycling - of course
- resistance exercise (generally at the max)
- flexibility/stretching
- nutrition/body composition (and this is my main failing)
- internal body health (i.e., BP, cholesterol levels, etc.)
- and perhaps one might include emotional/spiritual
So, how about you? What factors do you consider important? How do you go about implementing your efforts?
I am interested in your comments.

Do I Qualify for Diminished Value?
Courts have said that vehicles involved in an accident suffer a reduction in value and that efficient repairs of any vehicle damaged in an accident may not have returned that vehicle to its pre-accident condition.
Diminished Value is negligible or nonexistent if:
- Your vehicle does not have a substantial market value. (usually cars under $7,000)
- You've already signed a release of liability form
- The accident caused a minimal amount of damage (usually under $500)
- The vehicle has excessive mileage (more than 30K miles per year)
- Your vehicle is too old (normally 10 years or older)
- Your vehicle has a branded title. (salvage or rebuilt)
- Your vehicle had multiple previous accidents with greater damage
- Your vehicle was declared a total loss (see our total loss page).
- The statute of limitation has lapsed. (see 1st part vs 3rd party claims)
- If you're outside Georgia and courts have ruled against DV
If you are not sure or have a specific case, please call us at (678) 404-0455.
Fast Facts – Georgia:
- It makes no difference who's at fault when filing a Diminished Value claim.
- Your insurance premium CANNOT increase due to a Diminished Value payout.
- By law, insurance companies are required to pay Diminished Value.
- You don't have to hire an attorney to help you collect Diminished Value but might to for bodily injury.
- The insurance company CANNOT cancel your policy for collecting Diminished Value.
- $15,000 is the maximum you can sue for in a Georgia magistrate court.
- You may deduct uncollected diminished value off your taxes. See IRS form 4684*.
If you meet the basic qualification criteria, please fill out our Diminished Value questionnaire to get an idea on how much your vehicle lost in value. You can also call us at (678) 404-0455 or bring your vehicle to our location for a courtesy estimate. We also have field inspectors covering the greater Atlanta Metro area for your convenience.
Once you submit Diminished Value questionnaire, and within a few hours, you will receive a preliminary estimate from one of our licensed auto appraisers. The estimate will include instructions on how to move forward with your claim.
If the estimate you receive from us is consistent with the insurance company's offer, then you're in good shape, ask them to send you a check and don't forget to send us referrals!
In most cases though, the insurance company will give you a low ball offer, this is where we come in and help you achieve the maximum compensation for your vehicle's loss in value.
Items we need from you to compile a full Diminished Value assessment:
1- The Diminished Value questionnaire (or below)
2- Final Repair bill from body shop of final insurance estimate. (fax or email)
3- Pictures of the vehicle in question or a physical inspection.
4- Police Report (optional)
5- Make your payment. Click Here.
After this is submitted, please allow 1 to 2 business days to receive our comprehensive Diminished Value appraisal.
To collect for items repaired poorly, a physical inspection is required to assess a monetary compensation for those items.
*We don't offer tax advice. Consult a CPA.

Chabad Online Live report that Rabbi Jacobson discusses whether or not the resurrection of Messiah is a Christian idea. However this may also be a sideways boost to the remaining Meshichistim within Chabad who believe that The Rebbe will be raised from the dead as he is Moshiach! This does seem to be the case considering comments such as this:
"I am a non-Lubavitcher "friend of Chabad" who often visits the site, and, I'll be honest, I became a little uncomfortable for the last few minutes when he was defending Moshiach's resurrection from the dead as a Torah idea. OK, yes, there is such a Gemara but for 2000 years it seems klal-Yisroel has not emphasized the idea. And it also seems that pushing the idea of the Lubavitcher Rebbe zy"a being resurrected as Moshiach might alienate Yidden."
Here is the COLL post:
"World-renowned teacher Rabbi YY Jacobson takes the Christian faith: Is Moshiach being resurrected from the dead a Christian concept?
Welcome to Monday Torah, a weekly class by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Jacobson, one of the most sought after speakers in the Jewish world today and spiritual leader of Congregation Bais Shmuel in Crown Heights.
This week's class dissects a fascinating commentary of the Baal Haturim, according to which Moshe addressed Christianity in this week's parsha, 1300 years before the birth of the Christian religion.
The class addresses some of the most fundamental ideas necessary for an understanding of the foundations of Jewish faith.
The weekly video webcast is aired on TheYeshiva.net and COLlive.com each
Monday evening."

Compared to some of its summer blockbuster superhero competition -- "Iron Man 3" and "Man Of Steel" -- "The Wolverine" has been playing its cards close to its chest. We've seen a smattering of images, and lots of encouraging talk from director James Mangold and star Hugh Jackman, but not a frame of footage so far, and in general the film's a little more under the radar than its rivals, though we suppose that's fair enough, given that it won't hit theaters 'til much later.
But now the movie's promo efforts are taking a turn. 20th Century Fox are certainly hoping that this will be the week of "The Wolverine" -- a trailer arrives later in the week, and this morning sees the debut of two new posters and a brace of images from the film.
The posters -- one from the official Twitter feed, one from Coming Soon -- are definitely a step down from the excellent teaser one-sheet, in part because they evoke the Logan-drops-to-his-knees-and-screams-at-the-sky shot that only appeared in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" roughly one million times. The images, meanwhile, are from EW, and include first looks at Mariko (Tao Okamoto), the woman that Logan is meant to protect from the Yakuza, poisonous villain Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) and the mysterious and ass-kicking Yukio (Rila Fukushima).
Take a look at some of the images below, and see the rest over at EW. The trailer for the film should be with us in the next few days, and the movie opens on July 26th, 2013.

One man can't decide if his poor girlfriend is using him for money or if he's using her to stay in a relationship.
Dear Thelma,
I'm in my 30s, and I'm at the crossroads of my career and relationship. When I started working in the city, I accumulated high debts through credit cards, personal loans and hire purchase. I spent 10 years repaying those debts. Today, I'm better informed in terms of financial planning, and beginning to enjoy the fruits of my labour.
Then I met A. She was employed in my company as a temp. She's eight years younger and of a different race. Because of my empty life, I was obsessed with her and pressured her into a relationship after several months. We have been together four years now.
I've always advised her about proper financial planning so that she wouldn't suffer like I did. But we always end up in a serious argument every time, probably because of hard approach and her lackadaisical attitude. She comes from a less educated background and her uneducated parents also expect money from her. Material things are very important to her, despite not having the means to afford them.
Recently, she got into financial debt after purchasing a car, not to mention her credit card bills. She's also taken personal loans to cover her card debts. This leaves her financially very tight. Despite this, she's still not managing her finances well.
A year ago, I caught her texting an ex-boyfriend. Her explanation was that she needed someone to talk to about her financial woes, and he came at the right time. She said she couldn't talk to me as I would get angry with her. She said her intention was to "prostitute" herself to this married man as a way out of her problems. She said she had met him twice, only for drinks. But she finally stopped contacting him and our lives
went on.
The problem is, we're always arguing and it's usually due to differences of opinion and the way we do things. I'm losing my temper a lot, I'm very stressed, and I'm looking forward to a vacation alone. She controls everything I do and everywhere I go, and she's very dependent on my company. She keeps saying she loves me but she's suffocating me. She's putting her financial burdens on me by telling me about her lack of funds. I've loaned her some money, but I feel I've supported her enough.
She's not contributing much to the relationship as I pay for everything and do the housework, while she behaves like she owns my house. I'm not sure I still love her. I feel like I'd rather be alone and happy. I'm hanging on though because of my fear of not being able to find someone else. I don't want someone else to have her. Besides, there are too many memories of us together.
In the past, when she wanted to leave, I stopped her. But now, she's toying with my heart as she knows my weakness. I've contemplated suicide and leaving for another country to work. Is there a way out of this mess I got myself in?
Can't Let Go
Dear Can't Let Go,
There are several different issues. Firstly, you are right in saying that her financial problems are not your responsibility. You have tried to advise her after learning from your past experience. Yet, it seems to have come to naught. She seems bent on doing what she wants to do and it seems there's little you can do about it now.
The question is, why do you feel burdened by this problem? You didn't mention that she asked you for money to help her out. It seems that she's managing despite digging deeper holes for herself. Perhaps it was a sign of her desperation when she considered "prostituting" herself. But that seems to have passed and she seems able to see the folly of that decision.
But then again, you can't blame her for wanting to turn to someone else when you won't listen. You don't have to dish out advice every time. Perhaps, this is the time for you to learn the value of not saying anything. Listen without prejudice. Unless she asks for your advice, keep it to yourself. What is the value of a relationship anyway, if your partner is constantly lecturing you about how you spend your money?
It appears you have done your best to guide her. Perhaps, you could get her to meet with a financial planner who may be able to help her sort out her financial woes. Your responsibility stops there, though.
Of course, it's not unreasonable to expect one's partner to carry her share of the weight in a relationship. The burden of housework often goes unnoticed in a relationship and the person who ends up with the bulk of it also ends up with feelings of resentment. Try having a fair and workable division of labour at home. Each person would have their own idea of what's fair, and the only way would be to discuss it. You are allowed to be pedantic and actually work a schedule. That way, no one forgets.
In any relationship, arguments are normal. You have to figure out if the increased arguments are due to your differences, or if you're irritable because of other stresses present in your relationship. The most obvious one is your partner's financial problems.
The fact is, neither of you have properly thought about, let alone talked about, the future of your relationship. That you're thinking you may need a new partner indicates a general ambivalence about where you think your relationship is heading. Perhaps, that's also why you're finding her attention suffocating.
Not every relationship ends with wedding bells. And, there are many relationships that aren't conventional or traditional. For many people, this is acceptable. With that decision, however, comes a lot of thinking and maybe changing of expectations.
This ambivalence about your relationship is also reflected in your fear of intimacy with your partner. Why else would you talk about letting her know your "weakness"? When in a relationship, we allow the other person to see our vulnerabilities. That's how we build trust and intimacy. Not allowing the other person to see us with our defences down isn't uncommon in relationships. It's usually due to fear of pain and loss should the relationship end, and the fear that these vulnerabilities will be used against us.
If it's the latter, it's an indication of a fear of trusting the other person. That means you would either have to take a good look at yourself and your past, and what you bring to the relationship. Or consider the fact that perhaps you're not in the right relationship.
Perhaps what you need right now is that quiet and alone vacation you find so tempting. You can use this time
to think about the many decisions you're facing right now. Most importantly, who you want your future to be with, and if you'll be happy with that decision. Consider whether you're ready for the challenges that your decision will come with.
The central figures in this conundrum should be you and your partner. Don't worry about what others will think. Don't think about how you'll make others happy or unhappy. The most important thing is your happiness. If people really care about you, that's all that
should matter
to them.
