So, I have been waiting for the beta to open up for quite some time now, but sadly it is still closed. I was checking the link-realms website multiple times a week to see if anything had changed and of course it didn't. I got so annoyed of checking that I decided to create an account today, so that I maybe could get a notification when the beta opened. When creating the account I noticed how I could get in the BETA only by a code given by an existing member! So, my question is if anyone has a spare code and would like to share it with me. If so, please PM me. I would really like to participate in the BETA.
Why is there so little on Link-Realms on MMORPG.com? It has some awesome sandbox features and has nice oldschool influences. It is in fact one of the very few mmo's that I would really like to play atm. The big titles just bore me to death with their big promises and even bigger budgets. So sad to see those big budgets go to waste on games that cant deliver on half of the promises made. Seriously, where did the money go? Probably to advertising so that they could hype their big promises that they didn't deliver upon in the end, I guess.
You are not getting a beta code by simply asking for it, if you are active on the game forums you will see why, and actually now there is an open poll and debate if the game should have an item shop and stuff.. and by the way, the actual lead developer of the game has this as a forum sig: B3TAC-0D35A-R3F0R-P30PL-3WH0D-0NTB3G ... in case you did not get the sarcasm that means -> Beta codes are for people who dont beg. There is no knowledge that is no power. |
Originally posted by d0n0 The OP wasn't begging, that was a reasonable request. Obviously he doesn't know anyone in the game otherwise he would ask him/her. Why hijack a thread like that? I'm interested in the game as well and would like a code. How does being active on the official forums change anything? What, because a few nice people were kind enough to hand out beta codes to whoever was asking? If the lead developer didn't want that to happen, then maybe he should have limited the amount of invites each person gets. Or here's a thought maybe he shouldn't have made friend invites an option in the first place. If anything he should be counting his blessings that anyone want to play the game in the first place. |
shit i forgot about this game, haven't played it in forever.... @_@ |

About Me*******I do NOT do nudes or implied nudes! *********If I commit to a shoot/project you can count on me to not just be there, but to be early and ready to rock. There is a thin line between trashy and CLASSY PINUP...I only shoot the latter. Payment: Send me the details of what you would like to shoot and I will send you my rate. You can count on me to help with creativity and whatever is needed to make the shoot a success. What I DO: I have surfed competitively, raced motocross, skateboard (vert, halfpipe), and also snowboard and wakeboard. I love WWII photography and the American "Pin up" of that timeless era. I would like to involve myself in assignments that deal with motorsports, boardsports or pin-up photography. Rockabilly music is a big part of my life, and so are hotrods and custom fabrications so I would definately fit in hat scene as well. (Rodz Magazine is my favorite (Hotrod/custom fabrication cars). I am also a licensed psychotherapist. CreditsMost recently I was in the WNCAP charity runway called "Project GREEN Runway" in Asheville, NC. I showcased 3 different looks on the runway.I was in the Old Hollywood Carmen Carmen Aveda Runway hair show in Charlotte and had a great time! I even did an improvised dance on stage. I was in a photo shoot for Bride's hairstyle magazine with Tom Carson (where I was published in a Brides magazine). I have also been published in catalogs for Powder Room (a Canadian equivalent to "Roxy" in the US). I was a spokesmodel for Risk Racing (motocross brand) and was published in motocross magazines and on the brand's website. I was a spokesmodel for Stone's Choppers and was nominated Miss Junior Rancho Cucamonga, CA and ran for Miss Junior California in 2002. I have had many sponsors in surfing and motocross whom I have modeled and been published with and understand how important good communicaion and attitudes are in a business relationship. Lists

Viewability And RTB: Notes On The Larger Context
by Sherrill Mane, Brendan Riordan-Butterworth on May 21, 10:24 PM
In a May 8 post, Alex White makes some good points about how viewability measurement will alter the practice of buying as well as the value of display inventory in the programmatic space. We at the IAB applaud him for raising issues and conversation around viewability. White writes about the seemingly far-off ability to make viewability-based media buys, but the reality is that the Viewable Impression is coming fast. And, yes, there remains a significant amount of work to complete to ensure an orderly transition.

Attribute That!
by Yaakov Kimelfeld on May 14, 1:10 PM
Attribution modeling or path-to-purchase analysis? These concepts are often used in the same context -- and, at times, are confused with one another. The purpose of both is to establish optimal touchpoints for consumer interaction with the brand and to optimize individual online channels to achieve the best cost savings and customer experience. So, what is the difference between the two?

Bring On Good Measurement!
by Jay Habegger on May 8, 9:31 AM
Online advertisers are blinding themselves. And they're doing it on purpose. The digital channel enables us to track and gather actionable performance data virtually in real time. But we don't do it. I'm not referring to the much-maligned click-through rate, or CTR. Even though CTR still shows up on an RFP from time to time, most of the industry has rightly downplayed the significance of the CTR as a valid performance indicator.

Better Safe Than Sorry
by Sherrill Mane on May 2, 1:12 AM
After months of writing and speaking about Making Measurement Makes Sense (3MS), on my own and with esteemed colleagues from the buy and sell sides, I've learned that redundancy is actually a good thing. This is especially so in terms of the task at hand: changing measurement in a complex ecosystem. While we all crave standards, demand quality and believe that digital media need to be part of big brand allocations on a regular basis, some on the sell-side remain concerned about changing currency too quickly. Most of the concern centers on the technological complexity of assuring stable viewable impressions ...

Pole dance requires significant strength, flexibility and endurance. In a commercial pseudo-erotic setting, however, pole dance is often performed less gymnastically and is used more as a prop in striptease, Go-Go or lap dancing, with the performer simply holding the pole or moving around it without performing acrobatics. Pole dance proper involves athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions using the limbs to grip. Upper body and core strength are required to attain proficiency, and rigorous training is necessary.
Pole dance is now regarded as a recognized form of exercise and can be used as both an aerobic and anaerobic workout. Recognized schools and qualifications are now common.

As the Homeland Security Department and Boeing plan to seed the U.S. border with a whole lot of high-tech sensors under the SBInet project, they might want to take a look at the last U.S. effort to use such technology: the electronic battlefield conceived by Defense Secretary Robert McNamara during the Vietnam War in 1968.
The sensor portion of the McNamara Line, code-named Igloo White, went operational in November 1967. It used acoustic sensors to track truck and troop movements down the Ho Chi Minh Trail with some limited success.
Its sensor data went into IBM mainframes at a secret U.S. facility in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. Analysts used the data collected by those computers to direct air attacks against trucks or troops identified by the sensors. The planes following the guidance dropped a lot of ordnance on trucks and — according to my favorite (and now deceased) CIA agent Sam Adams — some innocent water buffalo. The trucks, despite all these high-tech tricks, continued to roll.
The folks at Sandia National Labs developed even more exotic sensors for Igloo White, such as chemical "people sniffers" that detected human urine. But according to Sam, sometimes a water buffalo that had survived an air attack would relieve itself on the chemical sensors, confusing the IBM mainframes and analysts.
DHS and Congress, which want to physically wall off the entire country, might also take some time to remember the Berlin Wall. That edifice finally fell after decades of failing to contain captive people desperate for a better life.
Spending priorities: Billions for SBInet, $12K for military death benefits
At the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) conference in Albuquerque last week, DHS Secretary Michael Chertoff extolled SBInet as a project that will bring the 21st century to U.S. borders. He zipped from the convention center before New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson had a chance to speak.
A clearly miffed Richardson said that Chertoff should send him 2,000 more Border Patrol agents to relieve National Guards who patrol the border after long tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Richardson also highlighted the disparity between the value put on human life and megabillion-dollar high-tech projects: The death benefit for the family of a U.S. warfighter killed in the line of duty is a pitiful $12,000.
There is something jarringly wrong with this picture.
Richardson and the New Mexico legislature have boosted death benefits for all deployed troops from the state to $400,000, and Richardson said 36 other states have followed suit, but one wonders why the 535 members of Congress — all of whom profess to support the troops — can't do this at the federal level.
What do you expect out of DHS in two years?
DHS launched the Homeland Security Information Network (HSIN), a program designed to coordinate counterterrorism responses with all 50 states, in February 2004. As recently as six months ago, it was little more than a log for storing records, Air Force Maj. Gen. Paul Sullivan, chief of staff for the U.S. Northern Command, told the NGAUS conference.
HSIN has improved in the past six months, but it is still a work in progress and an evolving art form, Sullivan said. But now it includes force-tracking capabilities. Hey, maybe in another two years it will be able to track the bad guys.
One governor, two Cabinet secretaries and Pat Boone
When Veterans Affairs Secretary Jim Nicholson introduced crooner Pat Boone to the NGAUS audience, it came as something of a shock to many — including me — who thought Boone had long since gone to white buck heaven.
Boone, whom Nicholson described as an old friend, debuted his new song, "For My Country: Ballad of the National Guard," at the conference and said proceeds will go to the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
Boone turns out to be quite high-tech himself. The song came complete with a sophisticated music video displayed on the big screens of the Albuquerque Convention Center. Boone also has his own Web site (www.patboone.com).
Boone's appearance at the NGAUS conference was truly the most amazing event I have attended this year. I can hardly wait until next year's NGAUS conference in Puerto Rico.
Anderson Cooper, the mole?
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper served a brief stint as host of the ABC reality show "The Mole," and he was also in a brief apprenticeship at the CIA, according to the Radar On Line Web site, www.radaronline.com.
Radar On Line reported that Cooper spent the summers of his sophomore and junior years at Yale University as a CIA intern, which a CNN spokeswoman confirmed.
I guess the relentlessly self-promoting Cooper quickly figured out that life as an anonymous spy was not a good fit for someone who loves the limelight and himself as much as he does.

text: Exclusive Mix: Job Jobse - We Concur Launch Party Mix by Data Transmission published on 2014/02/26 16:07:11 +0000 In recent years there have been few places the DT team would rather be than in Amsterdam's Trouw. Initially intended as a temporary nightspot, the former newspaper factory quickly found a special place in our hearts as it offered one of the finest clubbing experiences in the world launching some of the Netherland's most promising rising stars and it was with great sadness that we received the news that the club would be entering its final 12 months as of this January. One such talent to come out of the Amsterdam institution is resident and Life and Death label manager, Job Jobse who has quickly forged a reputation as one of the one to watch, winning plaudits from some of the scenes biggest names with Tale Of Us and the Innervisions camp already amongst his growing army of fans. Regularly showcasing his diverse musical knowledge, we can certainly see why he's resident at one of the world's most respected clubs, as well as managing label of the moment, Life and Death, at such an early age. So with these achievements in mind and him being about to touch down in London on Saturday March 8th to play for new night We Concur at Crucifix Lane alongside Mano Le Tough, Clockwork and Mind Against, we thought that we'd secure the services of Job to with this exclusive mix for your listening pleasures. Does this mix get us in the mood to go catch him in the flesh when he hits the capital? We'd have to say We Concur! Based in London? You can catch Job Jobse playing for new night We Concur on Saturday March 8th at Crucifix Lane alongside Mano Le Tough, Clockwork and Mind Against.

I've been doing all grain for a while now. I have a couple of Rubbermaid coolers that I'm using as a mash tun and a hot liquor tank. I have a 10 gallon Polarware brew pot. For example, tonight, I'm making a Fat Tire clone. I mash the grains in my mash tun and then use the HLT and a sparge arm and run the liquid into my brew pot. However, I always wind up with like 8 gallons of wort and am boiling forever to get it down to about 6.5 gallons so that I can add my hops and start my one hour boil time. Is this normal? Should I just cut it off at 6.5 gallons even though there is still good wort coming out of my mash tun? I figure that is just more sugars that get to ferment in my beer. What do you guys do? Here's a picture of my current setup.
If you are using software you should be set to the correct volumes and try to stick with that. It doesn't make sense to over sparge and is potentially hurting your final product. So if the recipe calls for 6.5 gallons into the BK, that's what should go in.
Seems to me the idea is to get the desired gravity at the desired volume...not an exercise to get the max sugars from a certain amount of grain. So if my goal is to collect 7 gallons pre-boil at 1.040, that's what I do. I'll even water it down pre-boil if it comes out too high. It should be about making the beer you're trying to make, not maximizing efficiency by sparging every last bit from the grain. But maybe that's just me.
Palmer has a bit on that in his book, suggesting that you do not need to extract all of the sugars. The goal is to make the best beer you can out of the ingredients, not the maximum amount. That being said, there is no reason not to add hops throughout a 120 minute boil, at least for an IPA. Also, do you have problems with hot side aeration staling with that setup (as pictured).
I always stop sparging when I reach my boil volume. It's currently 6.75 gallons for a 5.25 gallon batch. You give a few efficiency points (especially with a large grain bill) but you then save money by using less propane so I think the cost is about the same.
Primary:Chicken Livers IPA x10gal Secondary: Bottled: Milk Chocolate Stout,Dr. Spock's Bock 001,Dr. Spock's Bock 002 Yeast Bank:1056 3rd Generation 2011 gallons= 61
Thanks guys! This makes sense. I always start out brewing with good intentions, but I usually start drinking when I'm brewing, get lazy and don't measure my original and final gravity. My beer always turns out good though. I'll try not to be so drunk and lazy.

Raising fares, cutting service and delaying projects are the top three tactics used to mitigate budgetary issues. Rising costs such as health care are being met with various tactics including developing wellness programs and having employees shoulder more insurance costs, while agencies are locking in fuel prices to curb fuel costs.
Advertising is again the most-used method of generating revenue (81%). Forty-one percent raised fares, while 33% tapped public-private partnerships to bolster their coffers. New revenue streams added to the list included joint development (21%), benefit assessments (11%) and developer impact fees (3%).
Like last year, the profile of our survey respondents was overwhelmingly male, with 81% reporting. The average number of years in the industry is 24, while the highest number of people (32%) report working between 31 to 40 years in public transit. The average operating budget was $230 million, while the average salary came to $125,000.
The average annual salary was $124,000, with the highest listed as $299,000 and the lowest was $31,000. Although the numbers have crept up slightly, women still have a lower average salary ($110,000) compared to men ($124,000). Sixty percent of participants say they are paid fairly and 71% do not ride their systems to work. Governmental/public affairs take up a majority of transit executives' time (41%), while handling personnel (15%) and operational issues (13%) are time eaters as well.
Ridership is up for most at 59%, with only 3% reporting a drop. Smart cards, real-time arrival systems and automatic vehicle locators top the list of technologies being considered. Only 2% of participants cite keeping up with technology as a daily challenge.
This year, we asked transit execs what they like about their jobs. Here are some responses: "Every day is different;" "the ability to solve transportation issues;" "providing service that directly affects quality of life for many residents;" and "interaction with employees."

How the Irish Saved Civilization: The Untold Story of Ireland's Heroic Role from the Fall of Rome to the Rise of Medieval EuropeThe perfect St. Patrick's Day gift, and a book in the best tradition of popular history -- the untold story of Ireland's role in maintaining Western culture while the Dark Ages settled on Europe. Every year millions of Americans celebrate St. Patrick's Day, but they may not be aware of how great an influence St. Patrick was on the subsequent history of civilization. Not only did he bring Christianity to Ireland, he instilled a sense of literacy and learning that would create the conditions that allowed Ireland to become "the isle of saints and scholars" -- and thus preserve Western culture while Europe was being overrun by barbarians. In this entertaining and compelling narrative, Thomas Cahill tells the story of how Europe evolved from the classical age of Rome to the medieval era. Without Ireland, the transition could not have taken place. Not only did Irish monks and scribes maintain the very record of Western civilization -- copying manuscripts of Greek and Latin writers, both pagan and Christian, while libraries and learning on the continent were forever lost -- they brought their uniquely Irish world-view to the task. As Cahill delightfully illustrates, so much of the liveliness we associate with medieval culture has its roots in Ireland. When the seeds of culture were replanted on the European continent, it was from Ireland that they were germinated. In the tradition of Barbara Tuchman's A Distant Mirror, How The Irish Saved Civilization reconstructs an era that few know about but which is central to understanding our past and our cultural heritage. But it conveys its knowledge with a winking wit that aptly captures the sensibility of the unsung Irish who relaunched civilization. |

This is a great read -especially for Saint Patrick's Day. It reminds us that in so many ways this small country has made giant contributions to Western civilization and that is doubly true as regards American history. Cahill is an exciting writer. He does his homework and is amazingly positive being a non-Catholic. The only thing I would add that there was another very real and significant guardian of civilization in the world, one which the west has just about ignored in the past. Perhaps this book will stimulate the reader to discover what the Moslem culture with all its riches of science and the arts was doing while Europe was was in danger of losing much of its treasured past.

Jayce is an incredibly strong champion because of his sustained bursty/sustained damage. The reason why I say this is because all but one of Jayces abilities result in immediate damage, and many can be combined to result in even greater amounts of damage. Now before we move on I want to recognise that Jayce's early game resistances aren't good enough for him to actually drop all this damage before other, stronger early game champions can. What I'm specifically talking about here is Jayces mid to late game. Because of the enhanced movement speed and resistances provided by his "ultimate" it really allows him to jump into things and unload all of that damage while still being pretty tanky. It's almost like having a ranged AD Carry that can jump into the fight and tank when they unload the bulk of their damage. This is why I think Jayce is definitely too strong.
Hey, it's you! Yoonabomber!

In May 2002, NASA chose two TPF mission architecture concepts for further study and technology development. Each would use a different means to achieve the same goal - to block the light from a parent star in order to see its much smaller, dimmer planets. That technology challenge has been likened to finding a firefly near the beam of...

Even though some women wear the mens fragrance, Knize hasn't launched a unisex fragrance.
The first house that rises in my mind is Alfred Dunhill. Then, Davidoff.
What can you think of? Let's leave some names.
P.S. I never thought that Ferragamo would release Tuscan Soul. It's a nice fresh frag, almost like some classic ones such as Colonia, although only similar in the opening. And, it's truly unisex.

"Unisex" is a new category in perfume history. Most of the French, Italian, German or Spanish designers have one unisex fragrance only, if at all: their own version of the classical Eau (de Cologne). And that had never been classified from the start. You will find that some niche houses do not use the 'unisex' classification either. They often leave it to the customer to decide what is for whom. By no means does that indicate, that they find their perfumes not labeled 'pour homme' or 'pour femme' equally suitable for men and women. It's usually left to the perfume traders to advise the customer which fragrance is for men and/ or women. One or the other niche house has obviously learned from errors caused at that level. Malle, for example, seems to go back to be more gender specific than he has been in the past ten years. The opposite seems to be true for Montale, though :-).

YSL actually launched Eau Libre, a unisex scent, in the 1970s. It failed miserably and was quickly withdrawn. And some considered Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue to be unisex (in fact, it was marketed that way in some countries) before Light Blue Pour Homme was introduced.
I'll add these houses to the list:
-Issey Miyake (would be cool to see what he would come up with)
-Zegna (no women's scent yet, either)
-Vera Wang
-John Varvatos
-Narciso Rodriguez (actually, the only BPI brand that has done a unisex is Jean Paul Gaultier)

Comment: Re:Klaus Fuchs was one of Chruchill's Scientists.. (Score 1) 77
At no point was Fuchs an American citizen. As he was, at the time, perhaps the leading theoretician on plutonium implosion; it seems more logical to argue that without Fuchs it would have taken the Americans much longer, particularly as all the devices, other than Little Boy (a dead end, but relatively reliable and simple) used plutonium implosion.
It is now generally agreed that the American's curtailing of newer information to the British (from July 1942 through 1943) probably delayed the Los Alamos project by about a year, as it was still heavily reliant on Tube Alloy theory and research. The British work was heavily constrained by a lack of resources caused by waging war against Germany from 1939. Obviously the wealth, engineering expertise, and organizational ability of the U.S. were the main reason for the success of the Manhattan Project, but it would not have existed without the fundamental Tube Alloy work. Fuchs and other Soviet agents were at least partially responsible for the reduction of trust of the British by the U.S. after the war. Although U.S. nuclear test data was generally shared, relatively little cooperation occurred on fusion weapons.
