Terri Schlichenmeyer: The Bookworm Sez 3-28-11
LaCrosse, Wis.
Life is good.
When you reflect on the years you've lived, you're content. Sure, there have been times when everything seemed lower than a worm's belly but, overall, you've been blessed by friends, family, and happiness.
Life is good. So good, in fact, that you'd kinda like to stick around for more of it. But is it too late to live long and prosper? In the new book "The Longevity Project" by Howard S. Friedman, Ph.D. and Leslie R. Martin, Ph.D., you'll see how your past influences the future you've got left.
In the fall of 1921, Stanford University psychologist Dr. Lewis Terman embarked on a research project that was destined to outlive him. With the help of his colleagues and that of his subjects' parents, teachers, and – later – their spouses, Terman hoped to study 1,500 gifted schoolchildren, long-term, in an effort to understand why some people live longer than others.
In 1990, when Friedman and Martin were professor and grad student, respectively, they stumbled upon Terman's research and realized it was exactly what they needed for their own study on longevity.
Terman began his project when the children were young and by the time Friedman and Martin reconstructed his findings to fit modern statistics, most of the "children" were dead. But the thousands of bits of information they left was astonishing.
To live a long life, must you go early to bed, early to rise, eat your veggies and exercise? In a way, say the authors. The single best indication of longevity was conscientiousness. Conscientious people tend to take better care of themselves.
Hanging out with friends might be fun, but it doesn't guarantee a long life; in fact, social children tended to party more, which led to poor health. Worrying is sometimes good, but catastrophizers, generally speaking, had a high rate of suicide. Parental divorce had more of an effect on longevity than did one's own divorce. Hard work doesn't just seem to make life longer. Being feminine (for either sex) was indicative of longevity and marriage is good – if you're a man, and as long as you don't become a widower.
And that silly grin you've got?
Just stop it. Happiness has nothing to do with long life.
Think you've already blown your chance for near-immortality? Not so: grab this fascinating book before you get discouraged. As it turns out, you may be able to overcome your past by changing your future.
Authors Howard S. Friedman and Leslie R. Martin wipe aside those old wives' tales we've all heard, replacing them with useful, intriguing results from an almost-100-year-old study. Not only is that a fun look back at the social mores of times past (check out the boy-girl stereotypes), it also helps make sense of the health advice-blast we seem to receive nearly daily.
Tweak your regimen here, stop doing things there, adjust your thinking, read this book, and learn how to live to a ripe old age. For any future senior citizen wanna-be, "The Longevity Project" is pretty good.

I Has Demo: I Am Weapon
I Am Weapon is a tower defence game set in the world of bad dreams. Developers Sigma Team, previously of the Alien Shooter and Zombie Shooter games, explain: "The world of nightmares is mysterious and amazing, it scares and fascinates at the same time. The laws of real world are not valid in here." Fortunately the rules of tower defence remain much the same, although in this you seem to play a dude with a minigun. You can sample that particular dreamworld via a demo which can be downloaded here. The game features – and I have to quote this verbatim – "all types of infuriated clowns you could ever imagine! Their laugh makes you go crazy!"
I haven't played it, but I watched the trailer, which is below. That's a lot of blood on that chessboard.

|Mike Hollis
One of the top kickers in Idaho history, Mike Hollis set a standard of accuracy that has not been repeated. In 1993, Hollis make 68 consecutive extra points on 68 attempts. His 68-of-68 tally on extra points is also an NCAA record for the best perfect record of extra points made and for the highest percentage of extra points made. His 56-yard field goal against Northern Arizona in 1993 is the longest in school history. He also set Big Sky Conference records against Lehigh in 1993 with 11 extra points attempted and made. After Idaho, Hollis played in the NFL for eight seasons, which includes a Pro Bowl year in 1997 when he led the league in scoring with 134 points, with 200 field goals made on 250 tries.

Americans stepped up their spending at retail businesses in September, reflecting higher consumer confidence. The increase was driven by another strong month of auto sales and the release of the iPhone5.
Retail sales rose 1.1 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted $412.9 billion, the Commerce Department said Monday. That followed a 1.2 percent increase in August, which was revised slightly higher. Both were the largest gains since October 2010.
Sales rose last month in most major categories. Electronics and appliances surged 4.5 percent, in part because of iPhone sales. Sales at auto dealers increased 1.3 percent. Building materials and garden supplies, furniture and clothing sales all gained, too.
The retail sales report is closely watched because it is the government's first monthly look at consumer spending, which drives nearly 70 percent of economic activity.
Economists said the September gains should help drive stronger growth in the July-September quarter.
"We expect growth to accelerate in the final quarter of the year and are supported in this view by the strong showing in retail sales," said James Marple, senior economist at TD Economics.
But some economists cautioned that the jump was driven by iPhone sales and the gain may be reversed in coming months.
"This shouldn't be considered the start of a consumer revival," cautioned Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics.
Some of the increase was driven by higher prices. Gas station sales also rose 2.5 percent. And food sales increased 1.2 percent. The recent drought may have driven some food prices higher, economists noted.
Still, excluding autos and gas, sales were up a solid 0.9 percent in September.
High unemployment and weak pay increases have kept consumers from spending more freely this year. That has held back growth. The economy grew at a weak 1.3 percent rate in the April-June quarter. Most economists believe growth will stay around 2 percent for the rest of the year.
Despite weaker growth, consumers grew more confident in September. The Conference Board reported its confidence index rose last month to the highest reading since February.
The job market also looked a little better in September. The unemployment rate dropped to 7.8 percent from 8.1 percent in August. It was the first time the rate has been below 8 percent since January 2009.
And U.S. auto companies reported that sales rose 13 percent in September from a year earlier to nearly 1.2 million. Analysts think sales could hit 14.3 million this year, up from 12.8 million last year. The Federal Reserves' aggressive policies have kept interest rates low, encouraging some Americans to replace aging vehicles.
Sales at building materials and garden supply dealers rose 1.1 percent in September. Sales at furniture stores were up 0.4 percent. Sales at specialty clothing stores rose 0.6 percent. Sales at general merchandise stores, a category that includes big retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target, were up 0.3 percent in September following a 0.3 percent drop in August.
Sales at non-store retailers, the category that covers online shopping, rose 1.8 percent.

| 7.9°C Belfast
Scarlett Johansson has won damages against an author whose book features a promiscuous character resembling the actress.
The Avengers star was awarded compensation after taking action against French writer Gregoire Delacourt over his novel The First Thing We look At.
Delacourt was ordered to pay £2,000 for his "hurtful and demeaning" depiction of a female lookalike, reported the Telegraph.
Scarlett, 29, had initially been seeking £40,000 in damages for the "fraudulent use of her personal rights".
The character in question is mistaken for actress Scarlett when she first appears and is described as her "exact double". The woman is involved in a series of relationships and her looks mean she is treated as a sex object.
Delacourt has said the character was meant as a tribute to the star, and that his work is meant to be a satire on celebrity culture. He is quoted as saying: "I was hoping she might send me flowers".
Scarlett - who is currently expecting a baby with French fiance Romain Dauraic - had also hoped to stop the novel being translated or adapted for the big screen.
However, her request on that point was thrown out by the Paris court.

ホーム > アーティスト > 指揮 > ニコラウス・アーノンクール (Nikolaus Harnoncourt)
Born in Berlin, the Austrian conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt spent his childhood and youth in Graz, where he grew up in the Meran Palace. His father was a scion of the de la Fontaine-d'Harnoncourt-Unverzagt family, Counts of Luxembourg and Lorraine, his mother the great-granddaughter of Archduke Johann of Styria.
Heeding his early artistic ambition, he ultimately preferred to study cello at the Vienna Academy of Music. He joined the Vienna Symphony Orchestra as a cellist in 1952.
A year later he founded the Concentus Musicus Wien ensemble together with his wife Alice, to provide a forum for his increasingly intensive work with period instruments and Renaissance and baroque musical performance tradition. Nikolaus Harnoncourt collected historical instruments and, in addition to his performing and conducting activities, devoted his time to his philosophical analyses of "Musik als Klangrede" (music as speech), which have to date remained the seminal works on the performance of early music, the key to an entire universe of forgotten works and musical experiences buried under the sands of time.
From 1972 Nikolaus Harnoncourt taught performance practice and the study of historical instruments at the Mozarteum University of Music and Dramatic Arts in Salzburg, while at the same time enjoying growing success as an opera conductor. His début at the Theater an der Wien with Monteverdi's "Il ritorno d'Ulisse in patria" in 1971 was followed by the now legendary cycle of Monteverdi operas, which he developed in collaboration with Jean-Pierre Ponnelle, director at the Zurich Opera House, and which was universally acclaimed as a sensational breakthrough. This cycle was followed by an equally exemplary and ground-breaking cycle of Mozart operas, again at the Zurich Opera House and again in partnership with Ponnelle.
Nikolaus Harnoncourt's career as a conductor of both orchestral works and opera encompasses Viennese Classicism, the Romantic repertoire and works from the 20th century. Some milestones are a Mozart cycle at the Vienna State Opera, the Salzburg Festival with Monteverdi's "L'incoronazione di Poppea" and Mozart's "Le nozze di Figaro", "Don Giovanni" and "La clemenza di Tito". In between, he repeatedly returned to Zurich with Weber's "Freischütz", Schubert's "Des Teufels Lustschloss" and "Alfonso und Estrella", Offenbach's "La belle Hélène", "La Périchole" and "La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein", or Verdi's "Aida".
With the Concertgebouw Orchestra of Amsterdam, the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, and the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonic orchestras, Nikolaus Harnoncourt constantly reinterprets and rediscovers the grand repertoire of orchestral works: the concertos and symphonies of Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Dvořák and Bruckner, but also the works of Béla Bartók and Alban Berg.
A central venue for many of these projects has been and still is the styriarte Festival, founded in 1985 to establish a closer link between Nikolaus Harnoncourt and his home city of Graz. This is also where he first conducted Schumann's "Genoveva", the Prelude and Liebestod from Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde" and, in 2001, Verdi's "Requiem". 2003 followed the first scenic production of an opera with Offenbach's "La Grande-Duchesse de Gérolstein". The highlight of the styriarte 2005 was Bizet's Carmen. In 2008 Nikolaus Harnoncourt not only conducted but also directed an opera in Graz: Mozart's "Idomeneo", which was highly acclaimed by national and international media ("once-in-a-hundred-years event", Frankfurter Rundschau).
Today, Nikolaus Harnoncourt is one of the few true stars among conductors worldwide. Performances like the New Year's Concert of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra enable him to reach an audience of millions, displaying the characteristic passion and fiery intensity that identify him, first and foremost, as a true servant of his art.

Some guy got tired of kids wrapping his house in toilet paper every night. So he borrowed some mil spec night vision goggles, filled a super soaker with pee and drenched them when they showed.
The story said the watergun was filled with Fox urine, which according to commenters in the know, can be bought at stores as a rodent repellent. Good to know! Although the man is facing charges, I hope he gets off. Although in some cultures, if convicted, he'd almost certainly be facing a firing squad of urine filled water guns. Think about that for a second. [twincities via obscure store]

HP Clobbered by Autonomy Disaster
Nov 20, 2012 1:17 PM PT
HP released its fourth quarter earnings report, bearing out CEO Meg Whitman's warning last month. It is not pretty.
For the full year fiscal 2012, net revenue was US$120.4 billion, down 5 percent from the prior-year period. For the fourth quarter, HP posted net revenue of $30 billion, down 7 percent year over year.
At HP's annual analyst meeting last month, Whitman warned that the company's turnaround wouldn't materialize until the end of fiscal year 2014.
HP anticipated a revenue decline of 11-13 percent in fiscal 2013 with an operating margin of 0-3 percent, she said.
What she didn't say was that some of that decline would be attributed to improprieties on the part of Autonomy, one of HP's recent acquisitions.
Along with its quarterly earnings report, HP announced that it would be taking an $8.8 billion impairment charge because of the acquisition. The majority of that loss -- more than $5 billion -- was due to serious accounting improprieties, misrepresentation and disclosure failures, HP said.
The remainder of the impairment charge was due to the recent trading value of HP stock and headwinds against anticipated synergies and marketplace performance, according to the company.
Questionable Accounting
HP revealed that it launched an internal investigation into Autonomy after a senior member of the company alleged that it had engaged in questionable accounting and business practices prior to the acquisition.
HP now believes that Autonomy was substantially overvalued at the time of its acquisition but misstated its financial performance, including its revenue, core growth rate, and gross margins.
It also misrepresented its business mix, HP said.
HP referred the matter to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement Division and the UK's Serious Fraud Office for civil and criminal investigation.
The company also intends to pursue the case in civil courts to recoup what it can.
Catastrophic Turn of Events
For HP, this is nothing short of a catastrophic turn of events, Andreas Scherer, managing partner of Salto Partners, told the E-Commerce Times.
"This is a major black eye for everyone involved -- for HP's board, which should have been alarmed by the rumors at the time of the acquisition; for its CEO at that time, Leo Apotheker, who fumbled this transaction from the beginning; for Deloitte and KMPG, who had audited the financials and didn't find any issues," Scherer said.
What's Next?
Whitman doesn't get off scot free either, Scherer added. She was on the board of directors when the deal was approved. For the most part, though, she can fairly be said to have inherited the mess.
For Whitman, the biggest loss falls in the category of "what could have been."
"She could have used Autonomy to support the overall HP turnaround," Scherer said. "HP's path has just become that much more difficult."

Asparagus With Ginger
Stir-fry asparagus is healthy and simple to prepare, yet very delicious. Asparagus With Ginger is a beautiful dish to serve and makes a great appetizer or a side dish.
Recipe serves 4.
- 1 bunch of asparagus (approx. 1 pound)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp cumin seed (jeera)
- 1 Tbsp minced ginger
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
Holding the stalk at both ends, bend gently until it breaks on its own. Discard the hard portion of the stalk.
Cut the remaining asparagus spears diagonally into 2 inch pieces.
Bring oil to medium heat in a large frying pan that can hold all the asparagus.
Add cumin seeds and wait till they crack. Then add asparagus, ginger, lemon juice, salt and black pepper.
Stir-fry for about 4 to 5 minutes until asparagus are tender but still crunch.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
Recipe Notes
Serving Options
- Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on cooked asparagus, just prior to serving. If the asparagus is warm enough, the cheese will melt and be delicious.
- Add 1 tablespoon sliced almonds half way through cooking the asparagus (step 5 of Method). This will make a beautiful presentation and taste great.

Reports out of Minnesota say the Bucs have signed LHP Francisco Liriano to a 2 year/$14M deal. Liriano is expected to join the rotation as the #4 starter, creating a competition for the final spot between Jeff Locke and Kyle McPherson.
The 29 year old lefty has struck out an outstanding 9.1 batters per nine innings in his career and can be very effective when he limits his walks. Unfortunately, his control has been very erratic since tearing an elbow ligament during his fantastic rookie season. Still, there's some upside here and $7M a year is not bad considering what what the going rate for pitching has been this winter.
UPDATES: Multiple sources say that Liriano won't take his physical until after the holidays, so this deal won't be official for a while. Jon Heyman reports that the deal is actually for just under $13M, so hooray for saving a little cash.

(Reuters) – Scientists at CERN have smashed together various particles for the first time, moving closer to learning what was in the super-hot plasma wonderland that formed right after the primeval Big Bang, the European physics research centre said on Thursday.
The announcement followed another boost for physicists at CERN near Geneva with the effective endorsement by independent experts in a key journal of their claimed discovery of a new particle, the Higgs Boson.
CERN's ALICE experiment, one of six grouped around its underground Large Hadron Collider (LHC), has been analyzing particles that emerged from the overnight smashing together of tiny hydrogen-derived protons and much larger lead nuclei.
"It was really a pilot run to see if the LHC can produce these asymmetric collision systems. It showed that it can, and it worked like a charm," Johannes Wessels, an ALICE scientist, told Reuters. "We are very excited about the results."
The function of ALICE — acronym for A Large Ion Collider Experiment — is to probe what happens to matter when it is heated to 250,000 times the temperature at the centre of the sun — as in the "quark-gluon plasma" at the birth of the cosmos.
Until now, in the search for the Higgs and the "New Physics" that encompasses concepts like super-symmetry, dark matter, extra dimensions and parallel worlds, CERN has smashed only identical particles together at close to the speed of light.
"Whether we've been smashing hydrogen protons or lead protons together, it's been like hitting oranges with oranges. But now it's like colliding apples and oranges," said another CERN scientist. "It's a different ball game."
Just before the giant LHC – which runs for 27 km (16.8 miles) under farmland and villages along the Swiss-French border – closes down for nearly two years next February, a new and longer series of proton-lead collisions will be conducted.
In the LHC's normal proton-proton collisions, very little of the plasma – which appeared immediately after the Big Bang 13.7 billion years ago and was all there was in its first vital milliseconds — is produced.
Consequently, particles that shoot off from those high-energy collisions provide little or no clue to the full make-up of the bubbling plasma soup of liquid quarks and gluons — among the tiniest objects in nature.
But a fraction of the billions of those explosions produce particle tracks like those that came in the wake of the Big Bang — after the plasma cooled — which can be analyzed by other CERN experiments for any hint of the "New Physics" phenomena.
It was from those identical proton collisions that the long-sought Higgs Boson – believed to be the particle that enabled matter to be turned to mass and thus the universe to take form – seemingly emerged, to be announced to the world on July 4.
Whether the new particle is actually the boson named after British researcher Peter Higgs has yet to be formally confirmed, which would make official the most important scientific discovery of the century so far.
But a clear step in that direction came this week when the CERN papers on its findings were published by an important science journal – Physics Letters B – that only runs material that has been reviewed and found sound in peer-review.

After all these years, one thing is still clear. Bottlecap > Spork God
Posted 16 February 2019 - 09:35 AM
The Boring Age
--Date unknown
Once upon a time, Lord was bored and created a forum... little is known about this age, since there were little members. One fact that scientists have concluded is that it was boring (hence the name).
The EHoP Age a.k.a The Golden Age
--Date unknown
After NW had gotten more members, the EHoP (Evil Horde of Penguins) age had started. The AIIA (Aaron's Imaginary Intelligence Agency) was responsible for stopping EHoP and AIIA consisted of many storied members such as Aaron1339, Etile, Tzobell, and Rat Racer550. Eitle and Evil Lord ("El") were the supporting cast. Eitle was Etile's clone, and I have been asked not to reveal his true identity. Evil Lord was another "joke account" made by the same person. The original topic for EHoP was named "Ehop and dancing Llama Societies". This was closed after weeks. Attempts to revive EHoP failed miserably. The topic names of EHoP revival topics were "Cookies", and "AIIA". Currently, a revival topic is being made about a classic villain in the EHoP series, Evil Lord, or El, with Willy Wonka. The name of this new thriller: The Oompa Loompas. (which is now dead.) There is another revival topic in session now, called S.A.E.B.
Aaron's Imaginary Intelligence Agency
Evil Horde of Penjuins
This one follows the traditions of the originals with a bit more serious attitude as well, If your wondering about the whole Bottlecap and Spork thing, i reccomend checking out the "Spork God and Bottlecap Age"

The RuneScape Age
--Date unknown
This age was when our RuneScape forums were popular to many. The most memorable time of this age was when ReturnedFromHell, a ch00b, pretended that he (UPDATE: RFH came back and turns out to be female) was The Old Nite (the leader of overall skills at the time) and that he was level 156. He was later busted (what took them so long?) . The RuneScape forums attracted the majority of members, but since then, the popularity has gone down.
RFH topic: http://www.spynets.c...p?showtopic=895
The Spam Age 1
--Date unknown
Spammers had overtaken NuneWorld in this age. The most famous spammers were dew, and AngelOftheclouds. Angel went away for months, until coming back, which led to his banning. Dew has calmed down now, but still spams once in a while. This problem was later solved with the Pointless Chat forum.
The Beer Age
--Date unknown
The beer age has gone by and lasted for the history of NW. Every topic ended talking about drinking beer. In the beer age, Lord brainwashed everyone because he secretly worked for a beer company and was disguised as an admin of NuneWorld. Everyone was brainwashed and received frequent brain waves telling them to drink the beer. Lord recently tried to brainwash us with an optical illusion, but we foiled him.
The Brainwashing topic: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=1029
The Optical Illusion: http://www.spynets.c...showtopic=4267
The Pointless Age
--Date unknown
The Spam Forum was created. The first historical topic was called "Posty Post Posts Posts!", where all NW members united to reach 1000 posts, the first topic to reach this historical milestone. I got the most posts, and the 1000th post. Many other memorable topics have been created after this one. The Spam Forum was renamed Pointless Chat shortly after it was made.
The Aaron Age
--Date unknown
This was a very sad age. The age where Aaron went away. RAt Racer550 has been looking for ways to contact Aaron. But they haven't looked bright. Aaron left after he had his baby (his fourth one) and he was looking for a job. Aaron Corcoran is in his mid-20s, and has 4 kids. He was last spotted in Portland, Oregon, and he may still be looking for a job. If you have seen Aaron Corcoran, call 1-800-FAKE-TV. Not long ago, Lord came into contact with Aaron's wife. He is currently working at a bank for very long hours. He barely has time to eat and sleep, let alone get on the internet. -Rat Racer550

The "Everyone and Their Mother Becomes A Mod" Age
--Date unknown
Since Aaron's departure, things had gone terribly. NuneWorld had been deprived of it's greatest member (in some eyes). Lord felt it was time for a change, and went on a "mod spree" where everyone bcame a mod, hence the name. Names included Jbod, Count Seamus, thunderleaf, L30, Dogfighter, Shinobi_Artist, and even me became mods in this age which lasted for a few months. New global moderators were Tzobell, Etile, Rat Racer550, and me. One theory of why Lord made all these people mods was that he brainwashed himself with his optical illusion, was drunk for months, and went berserk.
Blue, Rat Racer550, Tzobell, and Etile become Global Moderators: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=3851
The Dark Age (also known to some as The Jason Age)
--Late February 2004 - The Peace Age
The Dark Age was one of NuneWorld's worst moments, if not the worst in history. A member named JasonXNothing came and terrorized every forum of NuneWorld. He liked Hardcore music, and hated rap. His opinions conflicted with others and this led to flame wars, which led to locked topics. His most famous appearance was in an Evanescence topic where he argued with the likes of evanfan1117, etile, Jago, and madcowdisease. Many of the "arguers" came from RuneScape Hall, a RS board. He was banned, created a new account (Waffen-SS) and recently has been unbanned. This was considered by some to be the 9/11 of NW.
Jason's most famous arguments: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=3015 (Evanescence)

The Spam Age 2
--Date unknown
Yes, spammers had overtaken NW once again. Spammers (most notably, Renegade, Seymour, and trigunkilla) spammed up the Free General Chat. This led to many criticisms targeted at the admins for sucking. All the spam topics have now been locked and admins are still looking at a way to solve this spam problem.
The Peace Age
--Date unknown
Lord finally banned JasonxNothing, once and for all this time. Jason had insulted a member for the last time. Jason's banning was followed by many disagreements by Jason's friends. Some of Jason's friends may have left because of this banning. Jason, or Drew as some of you may know him, was on NuneWorlder's minds for a while after his banishment. Sightings of Jason back on NuneWorld have been recorded near July 20. His (they may or may not have been his) new accounts were Jason Nothing and King Nothing. Friends of Nothing quickly notified us that he was in fact, NOT the real one, only an imposter. (edit) And now it turns out that he was the real one. Ho hum.
King Nothing's Welcome Topic: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=5942
Boring Age 2
--Date unknown
Obviously, with Jason's banning, it took away days worth of posts. Jason had averaged a whopping amount of posts the last days of his "life". NuneWorld post production was going in a downwards spiral, and was showing no signs of going back up. The amount of posts were consistent: low. The leading "post-per-day-person", Anime Forum mod, Maester Seymour, also quit soon after, due to Rat Racer550 putting him on Post-Watch.
Recovery Age
--Date unknown
After having a huge downfall of posts, and the two leading Post per Day members gone, NuneWorlders were desperate for a savior. Someone... to put them back in their prime. Well, their prayers weren't answered, but they got some good out of it with some new, active members, and some new members that didn't post much, but still did help, since any amount was a bonus for Nuneworld. And Drew (JasonxNothing) was creating new accounts to post on. After two, he was unbanned, and able to post normally again.
Currently, NW is probably at the best it has been in months.
CYBER OMG I LUV U I LUV U 2 Age
--Date unknown
Shinobi_Artist and evanfan. Mike and Ana. Tzobell and the Spork God. What do these pairs have in common? They are all participating in "softcore" online "cybering". Shinobi_Artist (Brad) and Evanfan1117 (Sara) revolutionized this by posting about how much they loved each other, and eventually got to a marriage that never happened.
And next came lrklspfss (Mike [McMahon]) and ChaosSatinAng3l (Ana). They have been constantly going at it for a few months now. They do most of their posting in "Posty Post Post Posts", the most legendary topic to ever hit Pointless Chat. "Mike" now goes as "sexieeeeeeee stranger" to Ana. This is the most annoying thing to hit Nuneworld since... well.... nothing.
Tzobell and the Spork God. 'Nuff said.
This is how Mike and Ana's online relationship started: http://www.spynets.c...o...ost&p=67893

The Spork God and Bottlecap Age
--Date unknown
During one of his short-lasting, but powerful "hyper sprees" rat racer550 started PMing everyone in sight. He sent multiple PMs to Tzobell, saying that the Spork God "Sux". Soon after, he and tzobell changed their avatars and signatures to their "leaders". For Tzobell, the Spork God, and for rat racer550, the Bottlecap. Soon enough, Pointless Chat was filled to the brim with hate threads directed at the Spork God and Bottlecap. (but mostly from tzobell at the bottlecap.) A few annoyed members later, and this dilema was put to an end by the very person that created it, with a few locked topics and all related posts confined to a single thread.
Another important, yet unrelated thing worth a mention is the "Ana dilema". It is assumed that Ana (ChaosSatinAng3l) has posted a picture of porn. This was the same picture posted by [insetnamehere] (see below) Blue was the first to be blamed, of course. But, it is highly unlikely. Ana is now denying that it was posted by her, and it will be set straight when lord returns. (He has not been on in a few days (when this was posted)). Since [insert] broke the same rule, and was banned, Ana's banning is probable, and Mike is deeply sadened.

The Downer Age
--Date unknown
There is no particular incident that started this age, rather it slowly evolved over time. Tensions slowly started to build over time due to problems mostly off the site. Halo had been banned from Rat and Blue's site namely. A few members were depressed in their real lives and it showed on the forum, ect. As weeks started to turn to months of this building, things only got worse, small arguments were becoming more frequent and involving more members. the Main people involved at first included HaloD MC, CTC (drew), and Amphere. Tensions started to get a bit lower finally when HaloD MC made a post apoligizing for his recent actions to most members (drew excluded), however, tensions do not lift overnight and although building down, one small spark could still easily set off the explosion..
HaloD MC's apology
And that spark came in the form of a topic made by Drew. Apparently he had created a topic detailing how to avoid arguments with him and reccomended it be pinned. Evanfan decided that she would pin the topic, in hopes of giving people tips on avoiding arguments. However HaloD MC and Imcoolyournot took offence to the pinning and general posting of this topic and went on an all out offensive contantly flaming Drew and Drew of course retaliated. The argument escalated into no hold back flame wars spanning several topics. This was the start of the whole mess that is still continuing as i write this.
Drew's *sparking* topic (Deleted)
Lord banned Drew, deleted a large amount of topics regarding this argument and there was a massive public outcry of why nothing was done to the other two major participants, HaloD MC and Imcoolyournot while Drew got banned. People were angry at what they thought was unjust. People were angry because the topics were deleted, and people started to leave. RatRacer550 decided to leave the site again, but "go out with a bang" so to speak. He brought lrklspfss back and they intentionally started a huge flame war together, Lord had no choice but to ban the both of them.
x CTC x (Drew)
Left the site:
Evanfan1117 (later returned)
Count Seamus
Amphere (has returned on occasion using a joke account)
Contemplating or were contemplating leaving the site:
Argument topics (starting with the instigating post or the first reply to that post, most arguments proceed for for a number of pages, you will just have to do some reading):
Halo & TJ
Halo & xRadioxPianox & RatRacer & TheOneSephiroth
CTC & Imcoolyournot & Halo & Naylord
Charlie & TJ & Amphere
Naylord & TJ & Imcoolyournot & Halo & xRadioxPianox
Naylord & Halo & xRadioxPianox & Lord to some extent
Imcoolyournot & xRadioxPianox & CTC
I get the impression most of the deleted topics were somewhat like this one ^
(the rest of these topics don't have to do with the Drew incident but rather just general arguments from the tension)
Gazell & metroid_dragon & Naylord
Naylord & Gazell & Niggy
Naylord & Halo & metroid_dragon & rick hard & dragonmatt5 & theonesephiroth
Again, alot of posts and topics have been deleted. There was even a decent amount of arguing in this very topic.
The Recovery Age 2
--Date unknown
Between Rat's banning and the Charlie ordeal, Nune World suffered greatly. Waves of spammers and flamers were pouring in, Nune World was at one of it's lowest lows in history. After rat was unbanned and Charlie, the reverse, Nune World started to show improvement. Gradually, the spams and flames slowly diminished. After Lance was removed from the RS modding position, scammers and spammers have been breeding in the RS forums. This problem will shortly be resolved with the possible addition of one to two moderators. Once this takes place, and assuming no other large issues are created, Nune World will surely be at it's best within several months.
Update: With this recovery age lasting for incredible amounts of time now, the site has constantly gotten more and more active, old members have been returning, much more new active members, and now the only problems remained to be solved are the general lack of activity by the local admins. New moderators are finding it increasingly harder to get postions on the team due to Lord not being as active as he once was. This is very probably no fault of Lord's as we know he has a life outside of the forum, although it is still a shame to see so many administrative issues left undone. However it has been rumored that Invisions next update will allow for more security features to allow Gmods to have more rights and hopefully the site will have a regularly active semi-admin once that happens. UPDATE: This update never did happen.
The Chaos Age
--Jul 17 2006 (first day the forum was back up after about a week of downtime) -
NuneWorld was hacked. By a figure using the alias of "i4n".
The forum was offline for a short period of time and when it was back up, it was discovered all Global Moderator accounts were permanently deleted, forcing Tzobell, Etile, Evanfan1117 and metroid_dragon to re-create accounts which were renamed back to their original names by Lord. All Gmods' posts were no longer associated with their new accounts (they are still intact however), but Lord applied a rather arbitrary 3000 post count onto all Gmods. metroid_dragon and Etile had that number increased back up near their original number of posts (approx; 4,400). Shortly after the hacking this topic appeared:
It was created by "Boisterous Ben", a friend of Charlie's. After a lot of debating and arguing, accusations flew that Charlie was indeed the person to have hacked the forum. Others were sceptical; they believed there was a possibility that the forum had been hacked by Charlie, but they thought it more likely that he'd "hired" someone to hack it, like a sort of hitman.
Some people were less tact about handling the matter, Tzobell (on his new account) posted The Official "charly Is A Gay Wad" Topic.
Quite a number of people didn't agree with the topic, but most everyone didn't exactly love Charlie either.
Charlie then used a newly created account, called "charlieforabit" and posted;
this topic.
After a lot of discussion and confusion, Naylord helped to clear Charlie, whether it was intentionally friendly or not, by posting:
Charlie Did Not Do That Hacking
The Official Hacking Announcement:
Forum Hacked
After being shouted at, abused, flamed and sworn at, nothing could link Charlie to the hacking. As for his involvement, it still remains a mystery, and quoting Charlie: "And it always will."
Afterwards, there was considerable debate as to whether Charlie should be allowed to re-join the forum. Many members wanted to see him be allowed back, many wanted nothing to do with him anymore, especially after the latest incident. This debate was never fully resolved and eventually faded as weeks passed of debating and there was no move to actually allow him back to the forum. It was eventually accepted that the answer was "No".
The Crackdown age
--Late August - mid September
Maester Seymour banned, Yunie suspended, HaloDmc suspended, MasterBlackTop suspended, TrigunKilla Suspended and placed on post watch.
Maester Seymour + Yunie + HaloDmc incident - Flame Wars, the down and dirtiest type of debating you can do on the internet, involved childish insults thrown both ways instead of factual points, involves personal attacks instead of disproving opponents claims, involves heavy punishments. Relations between Maester Seymour (NW's top poster at the time), Yunie and HaloDmc have never been great, but with a few simple insults started by Yunie and Maester Seymour, these three flew into a flame war not seen since the Dark Ages. Racial attacks and slurs, childish name calling, and moronic points being argued worsened this and it grew larger and larger until Etile had to step in and close down the topics involved. Yunie and Maester Seymour were served over 40 days of suspension by Etile while HaloDmc was served 40 hours of suspension. This decision did not go over well with all moderators seeing as the difference in punishments was so sever. While it's true that Maester Seymour and Yunie were much worse and the aggressors, a number of mods still supported harshening Halo's punishment. Tzobell then jumped the gun and banned Maester Seymour's account after hosting a week long poll to support or decline the ban, however not all Gmods or any of the admins gave input into the decision. Some more accounts signed up and suspiciously started acting like Maester Seymour and Yunie... go figure. But nothing could be proven as to whether any of the accounts belonged to either of them*. Evanfan1117 then decided to unban Maester Seymour and another, more official poll was made and a second inside of Free General Chat. Both polls gave support to the banning of Maester Seymour becoming official.
Some topics with the flame wars or related to the situation:
Halo 3
For All You Cool People
Super Spam Brothers
Maester Seymour's sig remade!
Etile's Announcement regarding the flame wars:
Seriously Important:, about the recent flaming
* Yunie did own up to creating most of the accounts and his friends creating the others, however there was speculation that he was just covering for his brother Maester Seymour since Yunie proclaimed he was "done with the site" anyways.
MasterBlackTop - was found to be plagiarizing dozens of poems in the Literature Forum and very likely dozens of other posts around the forum as well and claiming them as his own, he was given one month suspension.
TrigunKilla - Posted a picture of his bottom; received one month suspension.

The Inactive Age:
There was no one incident that caused this age to start. It was moreso the gradual decreas in active members due to people going off to college/work/whatever. There was also a decrease in the number of new posts and interesting things to say. Thought given the world is in the middle of a giant recession, you would think there's more interesting things to say. But alas, the age continues. There have been numerous attempts to solve this lack of regular posting such as the nuneworld revival project. But while it did work for a little while, it didn't stick. The forum was also updated with some of the less active forums being made sub forums instead. Also, the Free General Chat area of the furm was moved above the Games forums as theres were more active.
Incidents & Honourable Mentions
NuneWorld has had it's share of strange, and interesting occurences. From Pinebush, to Tabris. From hating blue, to [insert name here], the pages of NuneWorld history are filled with humor, perversion, beer, and mysteries.
The Pinebush Incident
The Pinebush Age is named after the most famous member that had less than 50 posts. Pinebush. After etile posted a post that was "wrong", pinebush left. There has been a cursed placed upon anyone that posts a topic in the new Members forum. If you post a topic introducing yourself, you will never come back, due to Lord's mastered brainwashing technique. Less than 1% of the members introducing themsleves survive the curse. No one knows how they get brainwashed, but the two top theories are that the ghost of Pinebush shows you a mental picture of how the members (or specifically, etile) act, or Lord's brainwashing might be linked to this. This curse is now known as The Curse of Pinebush (TCOP). In an additional twist, blue created an account with the name "pine_bush" and framed rat racer550 of making this monstrosity! See more in the I Hate Blue Incident.
Pinebush's Introduction Topic: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=1034
Tabris was a very mysterious young man. What made him so popular within NuneWorld? His "*sigh... *" 's, included with other strange actions. If you looked at him, you'd probably say "What a loooooooser!!!!!!", but if you got to know him, you'd see that he was a very... good guy. He played RuneScape, and was in JROTC, along with other things. Very little was known about him... which qualifies this as an unsolved mystery!
UPDATE: Tabris recentally appeared again, apparently lead back here by charlie. Although has yet to make a steady appearence, he has shown signs of being relativly active overthe last week or two. EDIT: His reappearance didn't last too long, and is long gone once again.
Tabris' Profile: http://www.spynets.c...p?showuser=1300
[Insert Name Here]
He posted a picture of porn. The End.
The porn post: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=1379
On twoseperate occasions, people had started to join forces, and hate blue!
The first was when he had posted a link to a fake vision test. When you finished the test, a bloody woman would pop up and start screaming. People started piling on, and flaming the hell out of blue. The haters included Imac, thunderleaf, Rick Hard, Tabris, and my personal favourite, I HATE BLUE. Blue had posted a public apology (pah) later on. A topic was later made where ReturnedFromHell asked for the site, and you can find the link there.
The second was when he said that rat racer550 was pine_bush. Blue photoshopped a picture that showed that rat and pine had the same IPs, but blue was actually pine_bush. The list of haters wasn't as huge this time around. This incident is still going on, as we speak.

Drew... why must you be so persistent?
King Nothing.
Krew Soldier.
x CTC x.
What do all of these accounts have in common?
They all belong to Drew, the terrorist of NuneWorld to some (see "Dark Age" for more info about him). He kept making new accounts to be able to post normally, and actively. And almsot everyone was "flaming" him for being so persistent in the attempt to become a normal member. Lord kept banning IPs, but Drew kept coming up with ways to get around that. He was eventually unbanned.
Probably the most informative post that you will find about this: http://www.spynets.c...?showtopic=6685
NuneWorld's succesor
Recentally RatRacer550 and Blue (see January 17th, 2005 of important dates) have started their own forum which is dedicated to following the traditions of Nuneworld but with any improvement they think are neccesary. Any who wish to relive the days of blue and them are welcome to come to this new board and reminisce the old times are free to stop by and sign up. Blue, and RatRacer550 are the current administrators of this site while _TJ_, Comebackkid, and metroid_dragon are individual forum moderators.
EDIT: the link has been removed due to unforseen circumstances.
UPDATE: While never being a very active place, The Bomb shelter (the name for the forum) is long dead at this point in time
The Honoured Members
a Few of the most valued members of Nuneworld that have left over the years have been the recipients of the title "Honoured Member" This comes with no cash prize, just the feeling you will be remembered in the hall of fame. The Honoured Members of Nuneworld include:
-Title removed after his return and subsequent banning, and then unbanning... Rat is now a regular member who still posts regularily.
The Charlie Incident
--June 19, 2005 - end of June 2005
Charlie posted a picture of Tubgirl. After he saw that people's reactions were negative, he removed it and denied that he ever posted it. Most people were against Charlie, but the few that thought he didn't do it came up with some really stupid arguements, like that it wasn't even there and people were just conspiring against Charlie. Rat defended him for a while too, saying it could have been his brother, who came about a month before this happened and the way he acted, he seemed like he was the kind of person that would do something like that. Charlie got into a flame war with Neiko (and maybe some other people I'm not sure) Meanwhile, the mods were dicussing it and Sara showed Charlie some posts from the Admin's and Mod's forum. Charlie blackmailed Sara and said that he would tell everyone that she showed him those pics if she told anyone he was coming back to do something to the forum. (which is odd because it was in his sig, profile, and a few of his posts: "I'll be back") So, Sara told MD and TJ about it and, you know... blackmailing isn't exactly good. So, that turned MD and Sara (who were supporting Charlie) against him. Which basically got him banned. That's pretty much it.
the starting topic is here:

A few of the argument topics were:

The Clone Wars
--Approx. June 18, 2006 - early July 2006
Member after member, account after account. Nearly every active member of the forum had a clone of them being created by other members. Even though it was technically against the rules, they were waived for the time being, probably because a number of mods had also created secondary accounts with the intention of impersonating another member of the forum. These accounts tried to be identical down to the signature, avatar, name and anything else that would make them look like the original account. Most members saw it as harmless fun, however some members took offence to their clones (namely Maester Seymour and Vintage) and their clones had to be put down.
List of clone accounts and who they were impersonating:metroid_dragon - metriod_dragon
rat racer550 - rat_racer550
Maester Seymour - Master SeeSaw
Vintage - V!ntage
Naylord - Naylard
Tzobell - Tzobel
Imac - lmac
Break the Reflection - Break the Reflecton
HaloD MC - HolaD MC
J-Christ - J.Christ
Mike! - Mikel
Fahmind101 - Fahm!d101
Tundra412 - Tunrda412
Zelda Princess - Zelda_Princess
Etile - Et!leThe Clone Warz Rap

The First ever Nuneworld Member meeting!!!
<b style="">One of the members from Nuneworld Traveled around the world and met another. Yes thats right, the first ever member meeting. Rick Hard was staying in New York for a few months and decided to get a train across america from New York to Seattle. It took about 4 days of travelling on a train but he got there in the end. Then a bus journey to Vancouver was the next step. When Rick arrived in the bus terminus in Vancouver, Metroid Dragon was there to meet him. Rick stayed with Metroid for a few days after which he went and stayed with another friend who also lived in Vancouver. Good times were had by all in the accompaniment of plenty of booze. Rick left Vancouver about a week later and made his way back to New York (by plane). A great first meeting by all standards. <br style="text-decoration: underline;"></b>

All entries are the personal opinion of the person who submitts them and should not be taken entirely accuratly.
Runescape Age 2 a.k.a. Amphere vs. Lance
Before Rat Racer550 quit and left NuneWorld with blue and others, the Runescape forum needed new moderators. As usual, Lance complained to Lord saying that the age of spammers and hackers had returned to the RS Forums. He claimed that without any moderators the place was going to crash and burn. Tzobell and blue who were once fellow mods weren't cut out to handle the job. Tzobell had lost all interest in the game, Rat had quit playing RS, and blue was rarely around. Count Seamus, the Books Forum Moderator, was known to help out around the RS Forums and was liked by Amphere.
Lord took him for his word and started a poll amongst the mods to see who would be the top candidates for the job. The main competition was between Amphere and Lance. It was easily seen that Amphere was winning with ease, there was no mod favoring Lance to become one of the new moderators.
Amphere hated Lance for his idiocy and annoying personality, he made this known throughout the forums by insulting him at every turn. Amphere quickly lost popularity when Lance left and blamed Amphere for making him leave. This quickly led into many arguments between Amphere and the whole forums. It was a one sided battle and everyone was turning on him. The people who had voted for him as mod were now saying he shouldn't deserve to be mod and should be suspended.
Rat was still around at this time and persuaded Lance to come back promising him something good. As quickly as he left, Lance came back (He was gone for about 3 days). The fights still broke out and Amphere remained belligerent. He quickly concluded that Rat had promised Lance modship to come back to NuneWorld. Amphere didn't take this kindly and instantly accused Rat of doing so. This started a grudge between Amphere and Rat. Two people who had gotten along fairly well together were now enemies.
Lord had been gone at this time and had missed all the action. Since he only saw the poll showing that Amphere was winning, he appointed him RS Mod. Rat had probably PMed Lord asking Lance to be a mod as well so he got the job too. Amphere is still known to dislike Lance and he is constantly considering the option to leave NuneWorld and take on his full time job as Admin for his Runescape Clan Forums. (Spirits of Runescape)
Amphere has apologized to Lance and others for his actions.
Here are some notable topics that cover some of the information above:
Lance leaving
Amphere arguing with Lance & Rat (Read it all)
If you'd like to find any other evidence proving that Amphere dislikes Lance, search around the Runescape Forums. I guarantee it won't take long.
Rat responded with this:
To get the story straight, I never promised Lance anything. I told him exactly what Amphere posted: that a lot of people were mad at Amphere for making Lance leave, and that Lance now had a better chance of winning modship than he had before, and that he had my vote. Not that he would get modship if he came back.

Drew Vs. Sean
When we all thought Drew was acting normal, he started up again. After relentlessly attacking members he attacked one last member, Halo. It all started in a specific topic that we are unable to find. But Drew posted something negative towards Halo. Before he could see it the retired RatRacer550 closed the topic immediately. Soon after they battled it out through PM's but one one knew about it yet.
Later on Drew made a topic in pointless called "Face/Off". It is proven that they had an argument of who was better looking the "Post a Pic of Yourself" topic. They battled in Face/off for days and days, everyone new about it.
Drew Vs. Junior
Shortly after SuicideKing who was aparently "going out" with evanfan1337 got into a fight about a comment he made in "Post a Pic of Yourself. It had gotten to a point where Junior(Suicideking) took a picture of him self holding his AK47. He threatened Drew that if he ever came to his town he would be shot. Thats when Drew stopped.
A few weeks went by and thats when former Honoured members blue and RatRacer550 made their own forum. Drew joined up and became the music mod. All of a sudden Drew dissapeared at post 400. He rarely posts at NuneWorld anymore.
The Face/Off Topic: Face/Off
[ Drew responds to this with:
QUOTEYo', this is !@#$ing !@#$%^&*. I didn't start that $%^&*; and I didn't stop when junior threatened me. Junior bitched up.

Today at legacy a cop caught someone climbing over the fence. Just thought everyone should know that they are watching and will write you a ticket. Thanks!
Mike, there is a ton of expensive equipment on the P&R's side of that fence. P&R has also told us time and time again that if we ask them during business hours, they will get the discs. As much as I dislike police intrusion into our disc golf utopia on this side of town, I'm more likely to say that the person that got the ticket was being an idiot.

Gematsu: "Rising Star Games will launch Deadly Premonition: The Director's Cut for PlayStation 3 on April 30, 2013, it has announced."
a underrated game for sure
I really don't understand it. It's one of the worst games I've ever played. I understand the whole 'so bad it's good' mentality but really, it's just bad!
Someone hasn't been talking to their coffee lately. The thing is, Deadly Premonition not only delivered one of the most disturbing sense of humour I've ever seen recently but it's a damn great juxtaposition of noir and survival horror underneath the kooky exterior. It did many concepts I would deem a proper evolution of the horror infrastructure in games. Deadly Premonition makes fun of itself for being bad so it's almost impossible for anyone to create a parody of it.
The gameplay mechanics might have been awkward as hell, but the bizarre story and atmosphere more than made up for it imo. It reminded me of Twin Peaks...which was definitely not a bad thing.
Swery is the David Lynch of gaming.
first day..again!!!
