Torchlight is a game we like. A lot. So we also like the news that it's developers are looking at bringing the game to consoles.
"We're going to put some serious effort into it — pretty quick — getting 'Torchlight' onto consoles," Max Schaefer, CEO of Runic games says."There's a lot of really cool things about the console world, too, that would work well with our game."
Cool things like, oh, how easy it would be to port the game to a system that has a pointing device?

In recent years there's been plenty of talk about road extensions and bypasses.
We've had a group of MPs petitioning their own government to build the F6 extension, flooding issues at Albion Park that highlight the need for a bypass there, and work beginning on the Berry stage of the Princes Highway upgrades.
We get frustrated that some of these roads aren't already there – but a look into the past shows how far we've come.
Reader Alan Bond has posted a video that shows time-lapse footage of a trip from Revesby to Burrill Lake in 1971.
A still from the time-lapse film.
That's before the F6 between Waterfall and Bulli Tops existed – it was a year into construction and you can see hints of that in this video.
It was a time when the Picton Road intersection looked like a country road.
A time when the F6 ended at Five Islands Road, rather than heading down to Yallah. A time when a trip down south meant going past the steelworks and through Warrawong.
A time before the Kiama Bypass, where motorists had to negotiate the Minnamurra bends, drive stop-start through Kiama itself, tackle the Kiama bends and then drive further south on a two-lane highway.
As Mr Bond points out at the end of the video, the trip in 1971 took four hours. Today we can do it in just over half that time.
Things have already changed quite a lot.

A "nudge" might not work exactly as intended. One of the classic nudges is automatic enrollment in retirement savings plans. But a 2006 law that allows companies to automatically enroll their employees in 401(k) plans appears to mean that employees end up with less money. See the article here.

5 key decisions for Obama
President Barack Obama's 2008 victory may have been built on inspiration, but his 2012 campaign was a billion-dollar triumph of perspiration and electoral engineering likely to leave a larger political footprint on the American political landscape.
Necessity — in Obama's case, the need to mobilize the '08 base without '08's Obama-mania — spurred invention and a sense that planning, not serendipity, would win the day.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Obama's win: 12 takeaways)
Obama's Chicago-based team created the most sophisticated voter targeting and identification operation in history, a turnout effort that trounced Mitt Romney's ground game, and a merciless, months-long campaign to portray Romney as hopelessly out of touch with the interests of working voters in battleground states.
"They were like a football coaching staff that puts their team in a position to win, no matter what the opposition does," said Democratic strategist Rodell Mollineau, who heads the American Bridge 21st Century super PAC. "They got a four-year head start on infrastructure and strategy. It was amazing. If other incumbents follow their plan, I can't see how you'd get another one-term president."
A top Obama adviser added, "2008 was great and magical, but by 2012 we had four, five years to learn from our mistakes."
( PHOTOS: World reacts to Obama's win)
Here are five decisions, most of them made months — even years — before the votes were cast, that led to Obama's decisive Electoral College victory on Tuesday.
1. Investing millions in voter ID and field organizing from 2009 to 2012
On Tuesday, political reporters and many in the Romney campaign were peering into a black box of confusing anecdotes and data from swing states. In a room in Obama's Chicago headquarters, the president's "analytics" team calmly delivered packets of data to the campaign's boiler room predicting outcomes in battleground states that proved, in many cases, to be 0.1-to-0.5 percentage points off the actual votes cast.
That gave Chicago a critical edge. Like generals with good intelligence, Obama campaign officials could move resources quickly around the battlefield — like the late deployment of volunteers to critical Cuyahoga County in Ohio.
( See also: 2012 election results map)
And it never would have been in place without years of planning by Obama's campaign manager Jim Messina, White House adviser David Plouffe, field impresarios Mitch Stewart and Jeremy Bird, and deputy campaign manager Jen O'Malley Dillon.
Obama's campaign probably spent $200 million to $250 million — a quarter of every dollar collected — to create a state-of-the-art voting profiling operation that allowed it to more accurately assess the electorate than standard polling.
That effort was linked to a vast network of state-level Obama organizers who knew their turf like a good cop knows the beat.
Messina told POLITICO the signature moment of the campaign came when he ran into a middle-aged woman during a visit to a Columbus, Ohio, field office six weeks before Election Day.
"I know everybody in my neighborhood — the ones that will always vote, the ones who don't — and what it takes to get them to vote," the woman, a committed Obama volunteer since 2007, told him. She added, with a chuckle: "They just shipped in a Romney staffer a couple of weeks ago. … Who do you think is going to win around here?"

Tea Review 93 - Narien Teas
Silver Needle
Narien Teas
If you're new to tea it might take some time to get used to the relatively subtle flavors of some varieties. This point was brought home to me when I recently tasted two samples from Narien Teas, an online tea merchant who got rolling in the summer of 2008.
While their Dragonwell (green) and Silver Needles (white) were both good, I'd been going through a phase where I was drinking stronger varieties, such as a robust Yunnan (black) and a strong Sencha (green). Which tended to color my perceptions of these two low-key teas. The moral, I guess, if there is one, is that what you've been drinking now is likely to have an effect on what you're drinking next.
If you'd like to sample Narien's wares, tell them Tea Guy sent you. Better yet use the coupon code "teaguyspeaks" and get %10 off.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
My father has Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). He is 53 years of age. He was diagnosed in 1998, and since then his White Blood Cell count has been between 30,000 and 35,000. However, his last blood work test revealed a jump in the count to 46,000. I've researched his form of leukemia and have found him to be either in Stage 0 or 1. The only symptoms seem to be long-lasting infections. He is quite stressed, as one can imagine, and would like to have a few questions answered.
His doctor has told him that if the count reaches 100,000, then is the time to begin treatment.
- What is the treatment?
- Is CLL fatal? If so, at what point? In my father's case, it seems to have been found very early, so we just want to clear up some of these issues.
- And finally, can a patient at Stage 0 or 1 jump to Stage 4 or 5?
Thank you!
Selina M. Luger, MD, Director of the Leukemia Program and Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
You are obviously very informed about Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) and the risk of progression. The fact that your father has early stage CLL portends for a good prognosis in terms of the possibility of years of not needing treatment. Fortunately many patients with CLL live with the disease form many years and often never develop severe or life threatening complication.
Although the magnitude of the white blood cell count can be scary to some patients and even doctors, in general we do not usually need to treat patients because of a white blood cell count elevation alone. We usually look for other indications prior to making decisions about treatment in this disease.
We usually choose to treat patients with chemotherapy if and when they develop (1) low red blood cell or platelet counts (2) bothersome, dangerous or painful enlarged lymph nodes (3) large liver or spleen (4) bothersome fevers, chills, sweats or night sweats.
With respect to the white blood count, some physicians may choose to treat if the count is doubling rapidly, and at times just on the basis of the high white blood count (definitions of high differ greater than 100,000, 200,000, or 250,000).
Sometimes doctors may choose to give the patient treatments other than chemotherapy for some of these manifestations, such as steroids for a low platelet count or immunoglobulin treatment for frequent infections. Some patients receive radiation therapy for enlarged lymph nodes or large spleen.
We generally have talked about CLL as treatable, because in general we try to just keep the disease under control so that it does not cause any problems. Traditional therapies have not been shown to be able to get rid of the disease. However newer treatments and agents continue to become available and time will tell us if any of these succeed in actually getting rid of the disease in patients; something that would obviously be desirable if we could do so without too much risk or undesirable toxicity.

Newsweek and Wall Street Journal report on few convictions and scant official data.
The Justice Department has been pressured for much of President Obama's tenure to more aggressively prosecute Wall Street executives for crimes that helped create the 2008 financial crisis. So after two major publications in May unveiled findings of historically low numbers of prosecutions in the field as well as an absence of official data, the department on Monday defended itself.
In a May 6 article for Newsweek/The Daily Beast, authors Peter J. Boyer and Peter Schweizer reported that federal financial fraud prosecutions are at 20-year lows, according to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. They said the task force for investigating risky mortgage lenders that Obama highlighted during his January State of the Union address, "is badly understaffed and has yet to produce any discernible progress."
On Monday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Justice, in a March exchange of letters with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said it had not kept data on the number of executives convicted of criminal misconduct during the meltdown that preceded Obama's inauguration. The absence of data is of concern to many legal analysts.
Grassley said the department's response "substantiates my suspicion" that it "isn't going after the big banks, big financial institutions or their executives" and instead is "hiding behind a bunch of mortgage fraud prosecutions."
Allison Price, a Justice spokeswoman, on Monday emailed Government Executive to say that the department "has and will continue to aggressively investigate financial fraud wherever it occurs. When we find sufficient evidence of criminal conduct we will not hesitate to bring charges."
Since fiscal 2009, Justice has seen a 92 percent increase in mortgage fraud cases, she said. In fiscal 2010 and 2011, it charged more than 2,100 defendants nationwide with mortgage fraud-related crimes. And since fiscal 2009, "all financial fraud cases, including securities fraud, corporate fraud, investment fraud and commodities fraud, increased by 12.5 percent," Price said.
Work on the special financial crimes unit continues apace, she said. "Moving forward, in order to strengthen our efforts at combating fraud, in fiscal 2013, the department proposed a $55 million initiative for financial and mortgage fraud enforcement efforts. This increase will support additional FBI agents, criminal prosecutors, civil litigators, in-house investigators, forensic accountants, paralegals and other support positions to ultimately strengthen the department's ongoing efforts to investigate and prosecute allegations of financial fraud."

Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) aeronautics head Larry A. Lawson's life just got a little easier.
On Tuesday, Lawson confirmed that he's resigning from Lockheed to take up a new job at airplane-parts maker Spirit AeroSystems (NYSE:SPR). In the process, Lawson leaves behind the troubled F-35 fighter jet program and can let go of worries over Defense Department budget cuts as well.
Sadly, somebody still has to worry about these things, and today, Lockheed named the two lucky individuals who will be responsible for figuring them out. Taking Lawson's place as head of aeronautics at Lockheed is F-35 program head Orlando Carvalho. Taking his place as head of the F-35 program is Lorraine Martin, Carvalho's former second-in-command.
Despite losing a key exec to Spirit, Lockheed shareholders seem confident their company remains in good hands. Investors responded to news of the new appointments by bidding up Lockheed shares 0.6% Tuesday, to close at $92.87.

Marion Cotillard at the BFI London Film Festival | Pictures
Marion Cotillard Brings French Glamour to the London Film Festival
Marion Cotillard Brings French Glamour to the London Film Festival
Marion Cotillard premiered Rust and Bone Saturday night at the BFI London Film Festival in a little black Dior dress. Keeping her company on the red carpet was her leading man Matthias Schoenaerts and their director Jacques Audiard. Marion kept the public appearances coming yesterday, too, stepping out in a printed Azzaro frock for a Q&A session at the BFI Southbank Centre. We caught up with Marion back in May at the Cannes Film Festival to learn about the film, in which she plays a woman who overcomes a great deal after losing both legs in an accident. Marion thinks she's like her Rust and Bone character, and told us, "I definitely have strength . . . it would be a long conversation on how strength is manifested in yourself, but there's very few things that — actually, I don't think there's one thing I could think about that could put me down."

Well can't be that bad since the crowd was announced as over 13000 at the gardens tonight!!!!!!!!!!! Just who are they kidding, they are lucky if there was 8500 there tonight because of a number of factors including belief we won't qualify, international weekend and Scarlett putting out a second string team which on paper was never going to win that one.
Personally I don't mind Fridays but not all the time.

|Lacura BB Cream in Medium
The picture of me above is having applied the BB Cream and concealer under my eyes, with a little bronzer just below my cheek bones. I have no foundation over the top or powder and look how smooth my skin looks!
Now, I am usually a Estee Lauder Double Wear Girl, or MAC Studio Fix. However, at this time of year, every year I go on a bit of a quest to find a lighter textured foundation so that I stop feeling as if I am wearing a mask. I literally cannot stand heavy makeup in the heat.
Hence why on my little trip to Aldi last week to buy toilet roll (yes, I am that glamourous), I saw this and thought for £4.99 why the heck not. I was so surprised at how perfectly it blended in with my sigma flat top kabuki brush and it lasts throughout the day too. I mean don't get me wrong, you will probably want a touch up around lunch time, but that is the case for most foundations so I am pretty impressed by it's staying power and I go to the gym at lunch anyway so my makeup always gets a touch up!
I would highly recommend this for summer. I've tried a couple of other BB creams and HATED them so I've been really shocked by how this has already replaced my foundation in a week!

|PhD Woman Support and Recovery Toning Vanilla Creme - £21.59 (here)
PhD Woman Support and Recovery Toning Bar Chocolate Orange - £17.88 (here)
PhD Woman Shaker Cup - £4.99 (here)
Yes, I know - it should be a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix etc. One day I will get to that stage but I am human and I struggle with self discipline. I'm guessing I am not the only one out their and I have SERIOUS respect for all those of you that eat clean and healthy all the time - you are my inpso.
Anyway! PhD Woman specialise in providing protein products especially for females knowing that obviously our goals are not always the same as mens!
So when I was stocking up on protein (not quite but re-venturing into the world of protein shakes etc) earlier this year when trying a new intensive strength training plan, I really researched what would work for me and what I wanted, which was quite a lot of protein without a shed load of carbs because no matter what I eat it always seems I have a carb heavy diet despite my best efforts!
I found PhD Woman and had a read up of them here. I found they had loads of tips and meal plans etc (here) and decided I was going to try these products. (They also have some fabulous offers on and I managed to catch one at the time!) I chose the Toning range which aims to help with recovery. There is also a weight control and energy range.
I like to have these on days when I might not be getting enough protein and I know some people say why can't you just eat it, but if you are training a lot you'd never stop eating chicken to get the recommended amount and sorry but chicken gets boring!
The vanilla creme is absolutely delightful. Tastes like custard! I like to have it alone with water and ICE, or for breakfast blended with strawberries or bananas! Absolute heaven in a cup!
The bars are also lovely. They do have that protein bar texture which I can't quite describe but I'd say dense… You will understand if you try. I have to say I don't mind that texture though so it's not a negative. I usually break it up into little pieces and savour!
Finally, the cup is just super handy and I better size than those huge ones you usually get. Somehow it just feels more feminine also. I've not had to explain to people whether or not I am drinking protein like it's some crazy thing since having this cup which is also a bonus!
I would definitely recommend all these products and I will be repurchasing when I run out. Even if you don't want to buy anything though I would definitely recommend the website as it's super informative!
Happy fitness ladies!

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm - £2.99 (here)
I love a tinted lip balm. They hold so much promise.
Most of the time they are pretty rubbish in either pigment or tone and look rubbish against my skin tone. I've had a fair few frosted ones in the past which has not been a good look for me!
That said, they are getting better. Last year I had a bit of a Revlon Lip Butter obsession (still loving these) and this year I think I am heading toward obsession territory with Maybelline's Baby Lips. I think a lot of it is the packaging! It is also the fact though that the pink and red ones are such stunning subtle colours that they are perfect alone or on top of lipstick to give it a more creamy finish. They are very moisturising and pretty on.
Here they are on!
*Pink Punch*
*Cherry Me*
See, nice and subtle.
And did I mention the smell?? They are soooo yummy. I think the pink one is peach but I can't be sure, the red is definitely cherry smelling though. Delicious!

|Pro Formula Cleansing Oil - £4.99 (here)
Pro Formula Micellar Water - £3.99 (here)
Treacle Moon - Bath and Shower Gel - £2.99 (here)
Whether you are saving for a holiday, at uni, saving for a house, saving for a wedding, or just generally trying to keep spends down, there is always a reason to pick up a bargain when it comes to health and beauty products.
Top on my list for finding products like this are supermarkets. Always. I used to spend hours buying clothes, makeup and skin care from Tesco and some of the other supermarkets out there. These days, living in the city centre I don't really have that luxury and miss the opportunity for a good supermarket haul!
As a result, I also find I often end up spending quite a lot on day to day products. Definitely going to be making a conscious effort to venture back to Tesco to mix up my beauty product collection seeing as these have been such a success!
Treacle Moon Mango Thoughts
This shower gel is super fruity and smells so sweet without being sickly. I absolutely love it. Usually I use Imperial Leather Foam Burst Shower Gel but it's not had a look in since getting this! It froths up nicely and leaves you feeling clean and moisturised! Perfect! It is also alcohol free.
are so many more scrumptious sounding Treacle Moon products here, including "coconut island", "lemonade days" and "strawberry dream".
Pro Formula Cleansing Oil
So initially I got a bit carried away with this and used it as a moisturiser. I have no idea why. I just assumed that's what it was! As a moisturiser it is totally amazing - lasts for ages and leaves skin so much more nourished, which is something I am struggling to get from most of my moisturisers at the moment.
Using this correctly though, as a cleanser I also found it worked a treat. My makeup slides off and my skin feels supple. That said, you then have to rinse. This doesn't take away the moisture effect but is a definite must for me or I would end up with swollen irritated eyes in the morning!
I'd definitely recommend this as either a moisturiser or cleanser!
Pro Formula Micellar Water
This is a non-harsh cleansing water. I use this to remove the oil from the cleansing oil or any traces of makeup. I also use it before applying my moisturiser in the morning once I have washed my face. It just helps my face from feeling tight.
I like this product too. It's very understated in that I don't think it will create any miracle changes to my skin but it feels as nice as my Lancome toner. It smells refreshing and light and reminds me of cucumbers. I'd recommend this if you don't need anything too specialist and have sensitive skin as it's perfect on mine.

Some of you may have seen on Instagram (here) that I purchased a little Barcelona Guide following booking a little trip there!
I am super excited. I've never been before and know nothing about the place so I am presently researching and noting down all the things I want to do and see.
Needless to say, I've found lots of tapas bars to head to - I will probably come back like a whale!
I am praying it will be sunny so I might even catch a bit of sun. I don't think there will be much bikini action though as there are too many other things to do!
On another note, how cute is the notebook!? It's from The Works and was only a few pounds - absolute bargain. It's the perfect size for bringing everywhere.
Any recommendations are welcome - places to eat, things to see, tips etc!

|Miss Sporty Pump Up Mascara - £3.99 (here)
So without going over old ground most mascaras are a nightmare for my eyelashes. In short, they point downwards and I have to spend 5 minutes curling them every day to get my eyes to look awake! What I don't need therefore is a super wet mascara that will immediately cause the curl to drop, which most do.
I had a real combination going on for years. Miss Sport Fab Lash and later on Miss Sporty Studio Lash - both waterproof. Followed by Revlon Fabulash Waterproof Mascara. Both were pretty good at keeping my lashes curled and volumised. Until late last year when I came to replace my Miss Sport Waterproof and it was gone. It still annoys me now! Why do brands do that without any warning!? If I had known I could have at least bought 20 or something given they were so cheap.
Anyway, after going into town the other day on the off chance there may be some similar version I decided to pick this mascara up. I didn't hold out much hope for it working as I need it to but you never know.
Unfortunately, for me this is too wet and drops the curl. When I recurl again (which you aren't supposed to do on top of mascara but I have no choice at this stage), the results are less than impressive. My lashes look longer but not volumised.
In short, I would not recommend this product. Unfortunately, I don't thin it performs very well and despite my specialised needs I don't think it would cause amazing results for anyone!

text: I am a first time dog owner of a rescue CKCS tri puppy. She came via the SSPCA and I am technically her 3rd home in 12 weeks, i.e. puppy farm, sspca, new owner handed her back to SSPCA then I got her. I think I have taken on more than I can handle. Lots of issues but most pressing is the night time screaming/being left on her own. I have had her for 4 weeks and I am exhausted. She is literally drenched in sweat and her paws are starting to crack and bleed with the digging at the cage (which I put her in at night). I feel that this behaviour is more than just attention seeking as she is not just wimpering she is going mental frantic in the cage. I can't put up with it one more night so I am not going to cage her, I have bought a nice cosy basket for her and 2 baby gates so she can sleep in the hallway adjacent to the bedrooms. She is approx 18 weeks old. She is a very sturdy dog with a broad chest and massive paws (which I'm not sure is normal for a CKCS), eats well (too much thats another issue). On a positive note I have taught her to sit, give a paw and when I manage to get her outside on time she will pee/poo. So I guess what I am asking is should I rehome her as I am really inexperienced and feel that maybe a better more experienced person could deal with her or if I persevere, realistically what would be a reasonable timescale for these issues to resolve. I really don't want to give up on her it would break my heart as well as hers but I just feel very inadequate.

What is Shadowrun Online?

More intel on the game

Players will meet and mingle in cities and (in)famous establishments in real-time, to form runner teams, meet Fixers and Johnsons and pick up missions. Runs will take place on beautifully detailed 3D maps, involving combat, stealth, and strategy.
Please also check out the Updates tab above, to get more details on Shadowrun Online gameplay.
Now back to what the game is all about! You'll have a wide array of abilities which allow you to become a spell slinging Mage, a Shaman invoking the powers of the spirits, a cybered-up Street Samurai or a Hacker slipping through the enemy's surveillance. Choose from a wealth of magical and mundane gear and cyber-augmentations to improve your abilities and customize your character.
Each archetype will perceive the world differently, and be able to interact with different parts of the world, from augmented reality to assensing the spirit world.
What is Shadowrun?
Shadowrun is an incredible setting with a history that moves on through our modern day, when the ancient cycle of magic's ebb and flow began to spike, returning magic to our world, and finally settles in the technological era you'll explore in the decade of Shadowrun Online's 2070's. There is a wealth of information out there with countless novels and pen and paper books. If you are down for some serious reading, you can find a primer on Shadowrun here!
Set in a dystopian near-future, a world where cybernetics, biotech, cyberpunk, and metahumanity meet magic, and mega corporations have become independent states, Shadowrun allows you to experience a truly unique mix of gritty cyberpunk style known from Bladerunner and the magical creatures and races of settings such as Lord of the Rings. The Awakening has brought forth ancient races from Orks, Dwarves, Trolls, and Elves to mythical animals and even powerful, intelligent dragons, who use their horded treasures to purchase and run global megacorporations.
Technology has changed mankind- cyberware can make you stronger, faster and smarter. Augmented senses and organs can be bought from illegal street clinics, and you can even experience the Matrix itself by moving your consciousness into the endless stream of data.
Though technology is pervasive in every sprawl of every city, there are a lot of cracks between the giant corporate structures where the shadows are run deep. If you want a job done and don't want to dirty your hands, you hire a Shadowrunner - a deniable asset, living beyond the reach of the law and the ultimate survivor in the urban jungle.
Hackers, Riggers, Combat Mages and Street Samurai will take on the most dangerous missions - for a price. You and your team, will run the shadows, becoming part of the underground elite, and experiencing adrenaline filled adventures such as infiltrating a hidden corporate lab, fighting chromed-up mercs over a secret magic formula, spying on a crime syndicate, even perhaps sabotaging an almighty AI on the brink of controlling the Matrix, while looking for the deeper meaning, that may reveal the machinations of major players behind the scenes. Do you have what it takes to run the shadows, chummer? Do you have what it takes to survive, in Shadowrun Online?
You'll never walk alone...
In Shadowrun Online you will be able play alone and hire other runners to create a team , or play together live with your friends. Players can band together to try and take over parts of a city, and align themselves with one of the mega corporations (temporarily) in an all-out faction war. The mega's stocks will rise and fall with the collective actions of the players, as they take on missions, alongside or against one another. These changes will be reflected in the official pen and paper timeline of the Shadowrun tabletop game, and we will even produce a campaign book for SR 4th edition!
Shadowrun Online will directly connect with the Shadowrun Universe website at www.shadowrun.com, so you will be able to transfer achievements or send messages between the website and the game. The Shadowrun community is at the heart of what we are trying to accomplish.
While our online game is extremely modest by the big budget standards of today, it costs far more than a development company of our size is able to afford on our own. Due to the license restraints, it is hard to get traditional publishers interested, and we didn't want to give away creative control over the project, or the ability to shape the game together with you, the fans.
We have invested a considerable amount of our own, and our friends' and relatives' money, into laying the groundwork for the game and technology, but the bulk of the project and most of the content requires your pledges. We hope there is enough Shadowrun love out there, to make this game become a reality, and humbly thank you for your support. Let's shape the future of Shadowrun together!
A word on the rewards
CAMPAIGN STYLE DOWNLOADS will allow you to play the game just like a classic boxed game without any subscription fees or additional payments. Just like in the pen and paper RPG you will be able to acquire expansions such as new campaigns and new cities. Campaign boxes will probably sell for around $50 after launch.
PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTIONS gained by Backers will begin when you first enter Shadowrun Online, after the game goes public. We expect Premium Subscriptions to have a comparable value of $10-12 for each month and this is what we base our reward tiers on.
THE TALISMAN - this specific talisman will be available only to backers and protect them from harm in various ways, helping against physical damage as well as magical or even IC attacks.
STARTER GEAR - this is a mixture of useful items, such as a DocWagon Contract and cool outfits allowing you to individualize your character further. Starter Gear will be available for different archetypes to choose from.
AUGMENTATION - a choice of augmentations according to your character's preferences. This will basically be similar to deltaware from the pen and paper game, so it will allow you to add more augmentations to your character due to massively reduced essence costs. Mages and essence-conscious characters can choose to receive an enchantment instead, enhancing their abilities (details tbd). And of course these will also look cool on your character!
VIP CLUB ACCESS - VIP clubs make you feel special...and there is always the most interesting characters hanging out there, who wouldn't want to be seen anywhere on the streets with the common people...may be worth talking to them...

Plantable Seed Paper Postcard
What if you received a mailing from a company and it was actually something beautiful? With this card, you could even try planting it. This oversize postcard for Northern Lights Landscaping was designed by WestmorelandFlint and is letterpress printed on a plantable paper containing wildflower seeds. We would say they have easily surpassed the typical beauty threshold of your garden variety direct mail piece. We letterpress printed this 10 x 5.75 card in two colors. The stock came from our new friends here in the midwest at Porridge Paper. It is their Plantable Seed Paper, Ecotan 110lb Cover, wild flower mix. This paper does produce a beautiful sculptural letterpress impression. A cautionary note on those wildflower seed inclusions - it also makes a really big mess inside the printing press. After running several thousand sheets through the cylinder press four times, we had enough wildflower seeds inside the machine to plant a small meadow. A fun mailer AND good times cleaning up afterwards.

Game with Rays Sold Out
Buses left at 8 a.m. today for a 56-mile trip south to Sarasota and an afternoon game with the Reds. 32 players are on the trip. As you're aware by now, Adam Eaton has been released, lowering the camp number to 63.
Don Fehr, head of the players' union, will be here tomorrow at 8:30, meeting with the players for a couple of hours. He meets every club in spring training.
Game tomorrow against the Rays is sold out. 500 standing room tickets will go on sale at 9 a.m. tomorrow at Bright House Field. Temperature is supposed to climb to 77 degrees. That's 30 degrees higher than the last official game between the two clubs, World Series Game #5 at Citizens Bank Park. The 47-degree temperature at game time went downhill from there and as everyone recalls, the night ended in a suspended game because of rain. No rain forecast for tomorrow in Clearwater!
Pat Burrell will be here as the Rays' DH. Making the trip was his call and Pat wanted to be here. I'm sure he'll get an ovation from both sides' fans.
Game will be televised in Philly area on Comcast SportsNet and nationally on the MLB Network. Game can also be seen and heard on mlb.com.
When you come to a game at Bright House Field, bring your transistor radios. Fans will now be able to hear the Phillies broadcasts on 1630 AM. A new service for our fans.
Quote of the Day
"My helmet was rattling. It was the loudest place I've ever been at one point in my career, for sure."
The quote came from Eric Hinske, who made the last out in last fall's World Series when he fanned against Brad Lidge. Hinske is in the Pirates camp this spring.

VCAP Push-Polling for McDonnell
The Virginia Conservative Action PAC (VCAP) is conducting a push-poll on behalf of Bob McDonnell, one of two candidates for the Republican nomination for Attorney General of Virginia. I know, because I was the recipient of one of the calls.
A push-poll is designed not to elicit information from the survey participant, but to implant ideas or images (generally negative) in the minds of those receiving the call. I know the difference because I have worked on dozens of campaigns and I have designed more than a handful of legitimate, information-gathering polls on behalf of clients as part of my business.
The automated call I received (according to the caller ID, from something called FECR at 571-522-6559, a Northern Virginia number) began innocently enough. It asked if I planned to vote in the primary election on Tuesday and whether I planned to vote for McDonnell or for his opponent, Steve Baril.
When I answered I planned to vote for Baril, the automated voice asked if I would change my mind if I knew that Baril had no experience as a prosecutor and that he had taken campaign contributions from trial lawyers. (I said no, my mind would not be changed.)
The poll also asked if I had heard or seen radio or TV commercials for either candidate, and whether, "other than this call," I had received telephone calls from either campaign. (The answer was yes, since yesterday I received a call from Jim Gilmore on behalf of McDonnell, and two days ago I received a call from Baril on his own behalf.)
Finally, the automated voice identified the source of the call as the Virginia Conservative Action PAC and gave the PAC's website address.
I wish that candidates for Attorney General would face the fact that the job they seek is not a prosecutor's job. It is not "Commonwealth's Attorney for the whole Commonwealth." There are two functions of the Attorney General: the legal function is to act as a sort of "corporate lawyer" for the state government; the political function is to run for governor four years after being elected to the post of attorney general.
According to the Code of Virginia, "The Attorney General shall be the chief executive officer of the Department of Law, and shall perform such duties as may be provided by law" (§ 2.2-500). § 2.2-505 limits the scope of the Attorney General's office considerably:
A. The Attorney General shall give his advice and render official advisory opinions in writing only when requested in writing so to do by one of the following: the Governor; a member of the General Assembly; a judge of a court of record or a judge of a court not of record; the State Corporation Commission; an attorney for the Commonwealth; a county, city or town attorney in those localities in which such office has been created; a clerk of a court of record; a city or county sheriff; a city or county treasurer or similar officer; a commissioner of the revenue or similar officer; a chairman or secretary of an electoral board; or the head of a state department, division, bureau, institution or board.
B. Except in cases where an opinion is requested by the Governor or a member of the General Assembly, the Attorney General shall have no authority to render an official opinion unless the question dealt with is directly related to the discharge of the duties of the official requesting the opinion. Any opinion request to the Attorney General by an attorney for the Commonwealth or county, city or town attorney shall itself be in the form of an opinion embodying a precise statement of all facts together with such attorney's legal conclusions.
§ 2.2-507 says that the Attorney General represents the Commonwealth in "civil matters." But the kicker is § 2.2-511, which says, "Unless specifically requested by the Governor to do so, the Attorney General shall have no authority to institute or conduct criminal prosecutions in the circuit courts of the Commonwealth except" in certain well-defined areas of the law (emphasis added).
All the candidates for Attorney General – McDonnell, Baril, and to a lesser extent (so far, presumably because he faces no primary opponent) state Senator Creigh Deeds of Bath County – have been misleading the voters by their constant drumming about prosecutorial experience and campaign platforms that focus on how Virginia should deal with criminals.
There are two reasons I plan to vote for Steve Baril on Tuesday: (1) precisely because he has never been a prosecutor and (2) because he is not Bob McDonnell, a man so vapid that he does not remember whether or not he has ever experienced oral sex.

While even the most daring critic would find it difficult to describe computer viruses as "art," there's a certain bizarre artistry mixed among the prankster-ism and the outright cruelty of their creators.

Back in the day my brand was the TDK SA 90, although the Maxell XLII would do in a pinch. "Chrome" was the magic ingredient for a great mix tape, although I don't know if or how any actual chromium dioxide was used in the production, or why it made "Oliver's Army" sound better. But I was absolutely convinced it did.
Between 1979 and 2010 Sony sold 400 million Walkmen and the compact design and engineering of these mechanically complicated and ingenious devices still feels relevant. To some of us, they evoke a time when "personal" music was a new and exciting thing.

The European Night Without Accident is an awareness campaign about road safety organized each year in nightclubs all
over Europe on the 3rd Saturday of October.
The action was first launched in Belgium by the Responsible Young Drivers in 1995. It was immediately a huge success.
The volunteers were warmly welcomed and RYD decided to renew the event every year. In 2003, the European
Commission started to support the project and 4 other European countries started to organize it too. From that
year, the number of European countries hosting the event grew every year:
• 2003 – 4
• 2004 – 7
• 2005 – 10
• 2006 – 13
• 2007 – 16
• 2008 – 20
• 2009 – 25
• 2010 – 27
• 2011 – 27
• 2012 - 27
In 2013, the European Night Without Accident was present in all 28 Member States. About 900 volunteers took place in 300 nightclubs all over Europe and reached over 10000 youngsters.
The action
It takes place in two phases. First, at the entrance of the nightclubs, the volunteers, aged between 17 to 29 years old, encourage each group to choose a "designated driver", who agrees to make a promise: he commits himself to be sober when he sits behind the wheel of his vehicle. The volunteers ask the clubbers who want to participate to wear a bracelet to be recognizable.
When the "designated drivers" leave the nightclub, we give them the opportunity to undergo a breath analysis to check if they have honored their commitment. In some nightclubs, drivers will also be asked, on a voluntary basis, to do a drug test. If they are under the legal limit, the "designated drivers" are rewarded with small presents offered by our sponsors. If this is not the case, we encourage the person to leave his/her car on the side or to hand the keys to a friend who did not drink any alcohol or used drugs.
Our goal is not to be repressive or to spread a negative message; on the contrary we always try to dialogue with the group in order to find the most reasonable solution to get back home safely.
Peer-to-Peer Communication
The particularity of the European Night Without Accident is to organize a unique event run by young people who want to convince other young people about the importance of a responsible behavior behind the wheel", which is credible with young people. Young people are speaking to other young people and share their experience. This dialogue between youngsters is the major asset of the event. The use of a simple language and the friendliness of the exchanges enable the message to be conveyed further and is surely more persuasive. Volunteers do not use a repressive or superior approach, nor a 'fatherly-motherly' tone, which are attitudes that young people refuse and don't want to understand. Their role is not to moralize youngsters or judge them but to stay cool, be confident and inform youngsters about road safety issues.
Our message
The message that the volunteers are sending to youngsters is "Prove to your friends that you can bring them back home safely". They insist on the fact that youngsters surely don't want to kill their friends while driving. Indeed it is very important for youngsters to protect each other. They care more about others than themselves. Volunteers explain to them how you can party and be responsible at the same time.
Changing young people's mentality
The most important aim of the project partners is to draw young people's attention to the importance of the responsible driving and to reduce the number of the accidents in which young people are involved. The method: to insist on the necessity of modifying the driver's behavior, which is the only way to obtain permanent results. In a long term, a positive approach of the problem gets better results.
After doing the same campaign for almost twenty years now, it is time to give it a new fresh start by mixing the action with another campaign. The idea is to mix the ENWA with the City-Zen project, which combine road safety with other topics like citizenship, sex and drugs.
City-Zen Campaign
This project was created by the French Association "Avenir Santé" in 2011. The objective is to make a city "zen" by informing, sensitizing and counselling youngsters in order to prevent street violence and related lifestyle issues. The project is also based on a peer-to-peer approach. The action consists of a team of 6 "City-Zens" (3 boys and 3 girls) who were trained and equipped with tools such as breathalysers, drug tests, safeguard cards and fake joints. They fix an itinerary close to different crowded areas and to festive places (universities, pubs, festivals, nightclubs…). They go meet people at night and during daytime.
ENWA & City-Zen
The idea is to add the drink&drive topic to the City-Zen campaign. Instead of only going to nightclubs during the European Night Without Accident, we will find youngsters where they are, not only at night but also during the day. We will then have 2 actions during the ENWA: the City-Zen campaign during the day and the action in nightclubs at night. For more information, please go on the website of the campaign: www.cityzen-europe.eu
The European Night Without Accident has been selected by the European Commission as a flagship project in the framework of the European Year of
Volunteering 2011

My son Matthew and I are regulars at C & L Lawnmower and Garden Equipment Repair in Walnut Creek. Matthew does garden work not only at Camphill Communities near Santa Cruz where he lives, but for a growing list of neighbors and friends, and therefore his "Gardener" tools take a beating.
When we go to the repair shop, we have a routine. Matthew, who has autism, goes in with the tool that needs repair and talks to the owner Jose. He likes to pretend he drove there himself. I wait about three minutes, walk in and fill out necessary paperwork (as if I just happened to be in the neighborhood), and we leave together.
It all changed this past weekend.
Matthew carried in his leaf blower, and I waited the usual three minutes. This time, when I walked up to the door, Jose motioned for me to hang back.
Matthew was filling out the paperwork himself.
"I'm sorry it's taking me so long," Matthew told Jose, "writing is hard sometimes."
"You're doing fine," replied Jose, "take your time."
I got back in the car, and 8 minutes later, Matthew walked out of the shop smiling broadly and waving a yellow claim check.
"I took care of it myself," he said, "He'll call me when it's ready."
We drove home, and Matthew jumped every time the phone rang. "I can't talk now," he told each caller, "I'm waiting for an important call." Jose called few hours later and told Matthew his leaf blower was ready to pick up. From the look on Matthew's face, it was as if the lottery had called him and told him a won a million dollars.
"I'll be right there!" he said gleefully.
There are countless stories in the news lately about the abuse of individuals with disabilities that make my heart sick, but not enough about good, patient and kind souls in the community like Jose. Please send me your stories and I will share them this holiday season.
And if you need a good garden tool repair guy, I've got one for you!

The refractive lens exchange procedure is typically performed on people over the age of 45 years old that have been found to be unsuitable for laser eye surgery. The surgery is exactly the same as that carried out for people having cataracts removed and aims to replace the natural lens within your eye with a new artificial lens implant which will eliminate the prescription in your glasses.
