There are things about Edmonton you can only tell by living here. There's old money here you'll never find by looking for signs of extravagance, there's a tremendous sense of charity that can be overwhelming if you're in need of it, and there's a pride and entrepreneurial spirit that likely comes from isolation and independence. And hockey fans like their defensemen tough, edgy and with a max effort. Little wonder Steve Staios flourished in the Capital.
Staios was a high pick (2nd round, 1991) by St. Louis but never played for the Blues. He was 6.0, 183 and ranked 17th in that year's draft but fell to 27th overall on draft day. One of the reasons for his fall had a major impact on his early career:
- "The Bruins believe he might be better suited to play a forward position."
Staios finished his OHL career in 1993 and played most of three years in the minors before St. Louis traded him to Boston (who were interested in him on his draft day) in March 1996. At that point the Bruins tried him out but still couldn't make up their minds on him and a year later he was lost to Vancouver on waivers. He played fairly regularly (mostly on defense) in Vancouver and then moved on to Atlanta at the expansion draft.
In Atlanta, he began to settle in to his NHL career. He emerged as a captain and enjoyed a career season in 2000-01. Playing for an expansion team often means unusual decisions and the Thrashers let Staios go to free agency in the summer of 2001. Edmonton came calling and solved a defensive problem for most of a decade.
From the fall of 2001 through the trade deadline of 2010, Staios provided the Oilers with steady defense, rugged play and full effort. He became a team leader, a respected member of the community and one of the team's high profile players. Steve Staios was part of the Oiler establishment, and was part of the high times that included a tremendous run to the Stanley Cup final in 2006.
After that, he pitched in on the rebuild, mentoring the incoming youth while also trying to help the young Oilers win as many games as possible. It is a tribute to his competitiveness that the Oilers sent him away shortly after deciding to go 'full on rebuild' and allowing him to contribute to a playoff run on a better team.
In what was very likely a one time event, Steve Staios became the first player to be traded from Edmonton to Calgary at the deadline in 2006. Coming the other way were Aaron Johnson and the draft pick that turned into Travis Ewanyk, and Oilers fans and Flames fans were both bewildered by the deal.
Steve Staios was cut from the same cloth as former Oilers Allan Hamilton, Lee Fogolin and cohort Jason Smith, and had a keen sense of community and (along with his wife) a sense of flair that drew positive attention and helped out local charities.
Steve Staios was born in Hamilton, a working class kid who never forgot his roots. He was born to be an Oiler.
Steady Steve says it all.
He blocked slap shots with his face and never backed down when he was here.
We need about 10 more guys with his balls on the current team.
June 07 2013, 07:29AM
Steady Steve, You cant say anything about his game was awesome, but he was a true professional and a well liked player.
I have a Staios jersey hanging in my closet. I always laugh a little when I see someone else wearing one at a game.
Good times.
Not much flash, not much dash-- just a blue collar guy who did all the dirty jobs and led by example-- miss his skill set on the team.
June 07 2013, 11:10AM
That fourth video gives me goosebumps. When will we see it's like again?
Steve Staios was awesome. I mean that in a tough, steady and fearless kind of Oilers awesome way.
Guys like Kevin Lowe,Lee Fogolin,Jason Smith, Kelly Buchberger....who else fits here? Jason Strudwick...
How much could The Oilers D use a guy like Staios right now? A lot.
He always seemed like a class act too.
June 08 2013, 10:56PM
Hey LT,

You and your surgeon may have already discussed some of the options you have available for types of anesthesia for your scheduled procedure:
This important decision depends on your preferences, what your anesthesiologist recommends, and what your surgeon wants, as well. If your surgery involves your arm (shoulder and down), your leg (hip and down), or an incision in your chest or abdomen, regional anesthesia is often a good option to consider. Regional anesthesia is routinely provided for hundreds of patients at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center (WFBMC) each month to enhance their recovery. Simply put, regional anesthesia is the process of putting a part of your body to sleep by using numbing medicine injected through a needle. In many cases, numbing medicines can also be given through a catheter (a tiny tube positioned next to nerves) for several days. In this case, physicians of the Regional Anesthesia and Acute Pain Management (RAAPM) Team will visit you after surgery to help your surgeon control your pain. Most patients prefer that regional anesthesia be combined in the operating room (OR) with medicines given through an IV to provide relaxation and sleep. This is why it is our routine to start giving IV medicines before the OR, and even before we place any needles.
For some surgeries, regional anesthesia is typically combined with deep unconsciousness followed by a breathing tube placement while you are unconscious in the OR. Alternatively, for some other surgeries, some specific medical conditions, or surgical preferences, it is best to avoid certain types of regional anesthesia or to use general anesthesia without any regional anesthesia. This decision will be confirmed with you on the day of surgery. As with any type of surgical or medical treatment, side effects are possible. For regional anesthesia, these include incomplete pain relief, soreness or bruising at the needle site, or tingling or weakness that may last for some days, but rarely for weeks or months. Spinals and epidurals can cause headaches about 1% of the time. Serious complications are fortunately very rare and are similar to those resulting from the surgery: injury from infection, injury from bleeding, or injury to a nerve.
Some proven advantages of regional anesthesia are:

Bought for mom after knee surgery
"This is the second pair of Clarks sandals that I've gotten for my mom. She has had knee surgery before and has always had a problem finding cute, comfortable shoes. Clarks sandals are perfect for her. I can get them in Wide which is what she needs and they are really cute too. She loved the first pair I got her and wore them with everything! I can't wait to give these to her for her birthday this weekend and see her reaction. Love you mom!"

Yep, Thats exactly right. I went back and took a quick looksee, I don't see any evidence that Kabuto cloned Sasuke or ever used his techniques.
There are now three ways for Oro to grab a Rinnegan 1) Take Obito'sMS pair from Obito and Kakashin (Maybe that would be enough given that he has Hashirama's clone body), or Madara's pair from Obito, Or Take Sasuke's EMS.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by usajim I Remember When I saw these I knew I have to order them for me. I'm 64 and remember playing with them in my room. I had string (ropes to me) going from one bureau to another, to the bed, doorknob etc..The floor was quicksand so they had to hang on as they crossed over. Back then you needed a wide imagination but the fun was never ending..until I left them on top of the radiator.. January 10, 2015

I figure that since bitching about Bleach seems like a lot of people's favorite pastime as of late, why not dedicate a thread to it? Don't like how the plot is going? this is your place! You think Orihime is a stupid fat cow? Look no further!
I do this in the vain hope that it cuts down on the amount of multiple bitch posts in the same thread about how much someone hates Bleach. I would go so far as to beg mods to delete(or move) posts that are nothing but a person feeling the need to let everyone know how much they hate bleach while contributing nothing of worth to the topic at hand, since we now have a proper place for that sort of thing.
The way most threads end up looking as of late, I see no reason why this shouldn't be the most popular thread on the site.

Summer 2012
My name is Ingrid Rivera, and I was born on August 13, 1979. I am 32 years old and was diagnosed with PPH in 2003. I live in Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. As many of you know, PH doesn't have many visible symptoms. Since I can remember, I have always loved sports; in school I was on the women's football team, volleyball team and cheerleading squad.

Spring 2012
My name is Todor Mangarov, and for 13 years, I was an officer in the Bulgarian army. During this time, I was very physically active and often went scuba diving and skydiving. I played football for two hours at a time, but by late 2005, I started feeling short of breath. ... In the summer of 2006, I stopped smoking, but my symptoms did not improve. My office was on the fifth floor, but I could no longer climb the stairs all at once.Read more
When You Set Your Mind To It, Nothing Is Impossible, Fall 2011
My name is Denneys Niemandt, and I am a 52-year-old male from the beautiful city of Cape Town, South Africa. My journey with pulmonary hypertension began on a sunny Saturday in September 2006 when my wife, Sonja, and I went looking for a new family car. At the car dealership, I started feeling out of breath and experiencing tightness in my chest and pain in my right arm. I asked my wife twice why they were switching the lights on and off in the showroom, not realizing that I was having a blackout. Read more
Fall 2011
My name is Huan Huang (Gloria in English); I am a 29-year-old woman from China, and you might say I've lived a double life. During the day, I make excuses to avoid walking or hanging out with colleagues, declining their invitations for dinners and parties. In the evening, I am cared for by my mother. I was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension in 2005, but I've lived with breathlessness and fainting for years. Read more
From India, with Love, July 2011
I love the monsoons in Bombay, where I and my wife grew up, went to college together, dated, married and had two lovely kids. But on that dark August day last year, the torrent seemed to beat my chest as I stepped outside the doctor's chamber. In a span of a week, the diagnosis for my wife's breathlessness had shifted from atrial septal defect to primary pulmonary hypertension. The first reaction was that of disbelief. I went in for second and third opinions fervently hoping that the doctors would dig out the 'hole' that the first echo had erringly put the cause to. The 'no known cause' line stayed and PPH was the new guest at our place. Read more
April 2011
My name is Shakeela Naz. I am a 23-year-old software engineer, and I live in Rawalpindi, Pakistan. I was born with Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and skeletal anomalies in my left arm and both hands due to Holt-Oram Syndrome (which was inherited from my mother). At age 4, my ASD was repaired via an open-heart surgery. Life went smoothly afterwards, and I lived perfectly healthy for the next 14 years. Read more

When You Set Your Mind To It, Nothing Is ImpossibleApril 2010 | Courtesy of PHA Canada
"Well, this doesn't appear to have anything to do with your heart… I suspect you may be in the early stages of pulmonary hypertension." Those were the words that first brought this condition to my attention: a condition that over the next few months and years would so dominate my life, my thinking and my belief in what could and could not be done.
I was born with an interventricular communication, and when I was five years old, I had surgery to fix it. I remember that throughout my childhood and adolescence I was always in a permanent state of tiredness. I could not run or jump like my siblings and friends because I got worn-out very quickly. My parents thought it was due to the heart surgery, and I grew up believing that I was constantly tired for that reason.
Un Caso Admirable de Lucha por la VidaAgosto 2008
La vida de Migdalia encajaba perfectamente en el perfil de una ejecutiva contemporánea exitosa con una rutina de trabajo, viajes frecuentes, estudios de postgrado, atención del hogar y crianza de los hijos, entre otras responsabilidades. Sin embargo, el ritmo de vida acelerado y agotador que llevaba se le hizo repentinamente cuesta arriba. Sin ninguna explicación aparente, comenzó a sentirse fatigada hasta para desempeñar acciones tan sencillas como caminar trechos relativamente cortos, subir escaleras e incluso bañarse.

Great heel - just a little too much too showing
"It is really comfortable and I love the two-tone look and the sturdyiness of the heel; however, there is too much toe slippage and I can't go a size up because it would be too big. I have to slide my foot back occasionally. I will be keeping them though. I like the look a lot and I'll just work with it."

Dust and sand storms are not unusual in North Africa and western Asia; in fact, they are a regular part of the region's rhythm and observed often by satellites. But familiarity does not make them any less extraordinary.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this image at 11:25 a.m. local time (0825 Universal Time) on July 7, 2014. A thick plume of dust was blowing out from the dry interior of Sudan and across hundreds of kilometers of the Red Sea, with smaller plumes also visible over Saudi Arabia and Eritrea. Prevailing northwest winds over the water blew the plumes to the southeast.
Though they are not necessarily as concentrated or intense as in other parts of the Middle East, airborne dust events occur with greater frequency in Sudan than just about anywhere else in the region. Dry lake beds and ephemeral rivers provide ample dry sand and clay that are picked up by winds blowing from interior Africa out to sea. In July 2013, MODIS instruments detected dust blowing out of Sudan nearly every day, and a similar pattern appeared to be recurring in early July 2014.

text: LGBT novel misses the mark By Nicholas Ransbottom, West Virginia State University September 6, 2012 CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- "Trevor" is an absolute trainwreck of a novella that I encourage anyone, LGBT youth or not, to stay away from. As bad as an '80s after school special, it tries far too hard to connect with current youth: "A board game? Sometimes Mom can be so retro. Hadn't she heard of computers? The Internet? Facebook?"What "Trevor," the 77-page book from Trevor Project co-founder James Lecesne, tries to do is create a small story about a gay high school student who just wants to fit in. He's awkward and "quirky," so readers who aren't gay male high school students can relate to him.Unfortunately, no one can relate to him.Trevor, as a character, is someone I wanted to like. He's exactly like me. He's a young visionary who wants to change the world; he's obsessed with and greatly admires Lady Gaga, and he doesn't fit in with anyone. I really wonder why he's such an outcast since at one point in the third chapter, he and his best friend, Zac, look at Zac's sperm under a microscope. If the pastime of fellow schoolmates is examining their ejaculate with scientific equipment, Trevor's desire to go as a gender bent version of Lady Gaga for Halloween should not be a cause for concern. Trevor's repeatedly told he does "gay" things -- like musical theater, for example. He wants to try it, which is gay, until the play's female star announces she'll personally kiss any guy who's "man enough" to win the lead role of "Anything Goes."When word gets out that Trevor has a crush on a guy, a priest comes to visit him. Honestly, it's just cringe-worthy material that makes me uncomfortable to talk about.And herein lies "Trevor's" biggest fault. For a novella that's supposed to be about accepting who you are and being comfortable with yourself, it made me extremely uneasy.Perhaps one of my biggest pet peeves is that "Trevor" is a book that loves to throw around the word "gay" in an insult manner. Personally, I don't view saying, "That's so gay" as offensive, but I can get how other LGBT youth would.I was home schooled before I got my GED, so I've never been to high school, but do teenage boys really use "gay" in every other sentence? Are straight teenage boys more obsessed with homosexuality than homosexual teenage boys? Are they really that hypocritical?"Trevor" is an anti-bullying book that completely fails at what it tries to do, and frankly, I felt more of a sense of shame after reading it than pride, particularly because of the extremely weak ending.

Jeanneke & Zinneke, the Manneken Pis's neighbours
© WBT - J.P. Remy - sculpture de Tom Frantzen
- Address:
Impasse de la Fidélité
- MAPS: Google Maps
Jeanneke Pis is the Manneken Pis's female friend. Zinneke Pis is their canine companion. Discover them in Brussels.
Everyone knows the famous Manneken Pis who has sat enthroned on his fountain since the 17th century, and even since the 14th century if you count the original version.
But did you know that two other, much more modern, statues live in the streets of Brussels?
- Jeanneke Pis is the Manneken's female friend. Squatting down and naked, this little lady is also urinating in the Impasse de la Fidélité. She was created by the sculptor Debrouvie and was erected in the city in 1987.
- Zinneke Pis is the canine companion of Manneken and Jeanneke. You can visit the statue of this dog at the corner where the Rue des Chartreux meets the Rue du Vieux Marché. Zinneke has been urinating against a post since 1998 and was designed by Tom Frantzen.
How to get there

Dani Lace Up Tassel Leather Boot 6 6
Sexy Boots Very cute! Way 2 high of a heel. I don't feel secure walking in them... I'm stuck with them now... February 27, 2013
Not comfortable These boots are very uncomfortable. The design is nice but not comfortable they limit and reduce the heel and ankle movement. I returned them. February 18, 2013
Uncomfortable These booties are very nice, but very Uncomfortable. The shape and form restrict your ankle mobility, which may cause sore ankles and feet. I had to return them. February 18, 2013
AMAAAZING!!! Former bebe employee who knows the merchandise inside and out - Absolutely perfect boot!!! Got it in black. Gorgeous, smooth leather with nice sheen. Platform plus rubber grip sole make these SO comfortable, which is so rare for a sky high heel!!! Beautiful lines, gold trim hardware. Tassel is not removable but adds to the style and personality of the shoe. Super sexy, get it now! I'm in love ;) February 13, 2013
beautiful boot Just got these boots and they are beautiful.They do run a little narrow but I'm hoping the leather will stretch.They are really soft.I wish the tassle was a clip on so you can have a different option of wearing them. January 18, 2013
Love them , they absolutely comfortable, and look amazing beautiful, breath taking, You can not even feel the heel. January 18, 2013

I've tried both this product and the smoothie infusion from Vega and this is the top of the line in terms of getting optimal nutrition for your exercise program. Brendan has created a real substitute meal that is Vegan and tastes pretty good also. I buy this one (natural flavor) because you get more servings than the other flavors and it's a pretty neutral taste. The Chocolate flavor I will say rocks if you don't care about having the extra servings. The product doesn't come cheap but I will say the company's products are very high quality. I'd recommend getting the bigger size for cost savings and only use 1/2 the dose suggested for optimal cost savings. It's a winner!!

Posted by Sickness-ELIMINATOR on Dec 21, 2013
Vega is probably one of the best tasting shakes out there. As for what TRULY matters: the quality of the shake. Vega is hands down the best of its kind on the Vegan/Vegetarian market. This isn't just a shake thrown together by marketers, this was based on years of research and development by Brendan Brazier, a true vegan athlete. It is the perfect combination of protein, fiber, vitamins, nutrients, and even some herbs. The protein itself is an amazing and hard (or impossible?) to find combination of hemp, pea protein, brown rice, and flax. NO soy, either! I've been taking these shakes for about two months and feel and see a noticeable difference, which is key - in energy level, muscle development, even mental clarity. As for the cost, sure its a little pricey, but it goes back to the old "you get what you pay for". Think about why taking a supplement is important to you, and then ask yourself if paying slightly more but receiving more benefits are worth making a sacrifice somewhere else. By they way, Vega is so inclusive that it eliminates the need for going to several different supplements, therefore I think the price basically evens out within a budget. Also, I find a half a serving (one scoop) does the trick just fine, so you can stretch out the life of a tub. Believe me, I've done my research, and there are some good products out there, but this one really is THE BEST !
Love Vega products

This was the original version which now is replaced by Vega One. The new VEga One in 5 flavours has better tasted and is lovely. I actually liked the old one too (this one) and it's a high quality product which will help iron out the edges if your diet is not always perfect. A great alternative to other snacks as well and an easy to make fast pick me up. I always have something like this on hand

I loved them, they didn't love me
"These shoes are absolutely gorgeous! The color is a nice deep darker red and they are made beautifully (they even came with replacement caps for the bottom of the heel). I read the other reviews about how comfortable they were and was very disappointed when I couldn't even get them on my feet without my pinky toes being crushed and curled under. I don't know if it was the angle of the arch or what, but It was incredibly painful. I bought my normal size and they fit lengthwise, but they ran narrow in the front. I tried them on three different times because I wanted them to work, but in the end they were returned. It was a sad day for this shoe lover..."

"These are absolutely gorgeous. I usually order size 7 but it wasn't available so I ordered the 7 1/2 thinking I could use a sole insert to take up the difference but they were still too big. I had to return them (but found a size 7 elsewhere)....so, I'm happy. Having said that, they are definitely true to size. Aside from my personal size issue, they are perfect. For the price, you won't be sorry if you order them!"

Classy and Comfortable
"These shoes are comfortable and stylish. The heel is a little taller than what I prefer for the office but that hasn't stopped me from wearing them. They definitely give all of my clothing a more polished and professional look. I love the cushioned interior that's at the exact right place in the sole of the shoe. My toes also have plenty of room so no painful pinching sensation as the day goes by."

2014 ACM Awards Best Dressed Pictures
Blues and deep reds were popular amongst the best dressed at the 2014 ACM Awards on Sunday night.
Album Spotlight: Jerrod Niemann, 'High Noon'
Fans will get to know Jerrod Niemann well by listening to his 'High Noon' album. While the project is covered in good time, groovy, party tracks, there are a few speckled in between that cast the 34-year-old as a romantic.
ToC Encore: What's Different About George Strait's ACM Entertainer of the Year Campaign
George Strait's campaign for 2014 ACM Entertainer of the Year asks fans to make him the Entertainer of a Lifetime. It's a deviation from most campaigns for fan-voted awards that list everything an artist has accomplished in that year. Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes argues that Strait may be the only person capable of doing this.
Win an Exclusive, Autographed Jerrod Niemann High Noon Saloon Prize Pack!
Kick open the doors of the High Noon Saloon and stir up trouble with Jerrod Niemann with his new interactive bar fight game and a sweet prize pack. Enter here to win an autographed prize from the 'Drink to That All Night' hitmaker.
ToC Encore: Country Duets and the Trouble They Create
There have been some wonderful country duets in recent years. Collaborations between Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson come to mind, but these songs (and others like 'Highway Don't Care') take some serious coordination.
Album Spotlight: Jo Dee Messina 'Me'
Country fans who like their women weak and their music vanilla will not care for what Jo Dee Messina offers on the 12 songs that make up 'Me.' The album — funded by a Kickstarter campaign — is full of attitude.
Kacey Musgraves, 'Keep It to Yourself' [Listen]
The fourth single from Kacey Musgraves' 'Same Trailer Different Park' album isn't nearly as risky as her last, or the two before it. 'Keep It to Yourself' is a straight-forward country heartbreak song that finds the singer turning the corner on the depression that often comes after a bad breakup.
Win a Guitar Signed by Sara Evans and Copy of 'Slow Me Down'
The new album from Sara Evans is available right now, and the singer wants to upgrade your 'Slow Me Down' experience. Enter here to win a signed guitar, and a signed copy of the new album.
Album Spotlight: Luke Bryan, 'Spring Break 6 … Like We Ain't Ever'
Luke Bryan's sixth spring break EP isn't so much a party album as it is a project for short-term lovers. Bryan explores the romantic side of spring break during 'Like We Ain't Ever.' In many ways it's an extension of the songs on 'Crash My Party.'
Album Spotlight: Eli Young Band, '10,000 Towns'
The Eli Young Band set out to make their best album ever, and many fans will agree they succeeded. '10,000 Towns' is a very even project, with no letdowns or skip-ahead tracks and the best moments spread throughout.
ToC Encore: Everything You Need to Know About Miranda Lambert's 'Platinum' in 30 Seconds or Less
Miranda Lambert's new album 'Platinum' will be available on June 3 and, with 16 tracks, there's a lot to know about the new studio project. Taste of Country writer Billy Dukes has managed to cram it all into one, 30-second-long, video cheat sheet.
The Band Perry, 'Chainsaw' [Listen]
The Band Perry's 'Chainsaw' finds singer Kimberly Perry playing the role of unstable ex-girlfriend. Until now she'd mostly kept a lid on her crazy, only giving glimpses in songs like 'Better Dig Two' and 'Done.' There's nothing stable about a girl swinging around a Stihl, however.

NEW ORLEANS – Ed Reed was trying to finally make his way to the showers, but his path was blocked by a tall, goateed man wearing a plaid purple shirt. It was Michael Phelps.
Reed broke into a wide grin when he saw the 18-time Olympic gold medalist, and pulled Phelps in close for a hug.
"You brought the spirit of a champion to us," Reed told Phelps.
RECAP: Ravens hold off 49ers in wild Super Bowl
OOPS: Flacco drops obscenity on live television
Phelps is a native of Baltimore, and has become close with several Ravens players, Ray Lewis in particular, in recent years. Phelps said he was inspired by Lewis to return to swimming to compete in the 2012 Olympics, where he won six more medals, including four golds. Phelps retired after those Games, and watched his hero and friend leave the same way.
"Many tears throughout this game today. Watching [Lewis] the last play of the game today, that's the last time I'll ever see him play," Phelps said. "It's something that's very tough for Baltimore people to watch. I'm probably more emotional here than I was in London, just because of what Ray has done for me in my career, how much he's helped me in my career."

These days the only embarrasing one is probably the much-too-young for me Zac Effron. Most of my crushes are now at least relatively age-appropriate, and somewhat respectable in that they have actually jobs and/or talents. (i.e. not the washed up backup dancer ex-husband of a celebrity)ReplyCancel

Sorry for the re-post:
The man with the shortest legs and sloppiest fists in Hollywood…Josh Brolin. He's a massive drunk, an uber douche and not the best looking man I have seen. I am so ashamed mainly because I love Diane Lane so much and he's such a teeny little man who looks like a neanderthal. Ugh, just kill me. Please?
Other than him, I'm not embarrassed by anyone because he is the only person I like who is an asshole. Oh, and his new piece of ass is barely subpar. She is nothing and I mean nothing like Diane Lane, who is still a hot, sexy bitch.ReplyCancel
Oh, Steamy, my sister from another mister!
I have no shame whatsoever in admitting I would do naughty things to Captain Hammer. He can call me Saffron any day of the week.
James Marsters has the most delectable voice. If you're an audiobook fan, listen to him read the Jim Butcher series. Try not to drool.
When I was a kid, I watched Night Court every day after school while I did my homework. Years and years later, I woke up from a naughty dream starring John Larroquette!
THOR (please, I see your shocked face).
Patrick Stewart is old enough to be my granddad, but I freaking love him. His acting class video killed me!ReplyCancel
I have always had a thing for Pauly Shore.ReplyCancel
Kid Rock..I know I would get eleventeen different STDs just shaking his hand but he does something to me ..I mean the dude wears overalls in public..this is me (._.) ashamedReplyCancel
OMG! John larroquete!! Yaaaas!!! That was a big reason I watched Night Court when I was a child!!!!ReplyCancel
Oooh, there is something so special about him. I find him so hot too, an accountant. Mmmh. Seems all the guys from Sheffield are so broken, Sean bean, the dudes from def leppard, there's something in the water.ReplyCancel
Jeremy Irons.ReplyCancel
Harvey Keitel. Serious thing for him since Reservoir Dogs.ReplyCancel
Kate Moenig. I find some butch lesbians really hot, even though I am hetero, or thought I was. I guess at my age, it doesn't matter and you can swing any which way and people don't care.
I adore Russell Brand, but wouldn't let my friends and family know, because, "I don't have celebrity crushes." Ha!ReplyCancel
Steampunk –
I suspect we couldn't loan each other DVDs because they all match 😉
Spike and Mal – very yes, but I mean while in character.
Picard – yeah … Vash got it right. But as long as it was late TNG or DS9, I'd prefer Worf. Human women are too fragile? Just try me 😉ReplyCancel
Pierce BrosnanReplyCancel
I have a huge crush on Eddie Redmayne, the dude who played Marius in the Les Miserables movie. He's a skinny effeminate awkward freckly boy who makes ridiculous faces, and I generally prefer bigger men, but I am in LOVE with him.
Maybe it's something about a heartfelt rendition of "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables," because I also kind of like Michael Ball, who played Marius in the 10th Anniversary concert.ReplyCancel
Best. Answer. Ever.ReplyCancel

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I decided to open this thread to talk about the billing models which you like to see in your MMO games. Right now, is common for developers and publishers to profit from their games through one of three approaches:
- Subscription based: Or pay to play. It's the most traditional method for MMOs, and still remains the most profitable among the western playerbase, although it's been gradually losing support on these last years. Apart from producing gigantic profit margins for the game companies, this model is considered to attract better-than-average communities. It does so in the sense that people unwilling to take a game seriously tend to also be unwilling to pay for it; on the other hand, the players on these games often feel psychologically pushed to rush through the content as fast as possible, which often reduces the quality of their experience.
- Purchase the box: Or buy to play. Classic model for non-MMO games: you buy the game's box (and potentially those of its expansion packs) and you can play the game freely without having to pay anything extra at any point. This is (combined with some F2P strategies) the road choosen by the recently released Guild Wars 2. It takes care of the need to rush through the game, but the communities are not as filtered as with subscription games.
- Free to play: Very popular, and currently adopted by almost all low or medium budget titles (as well as some AAA ones who feel can't keep their players any more through subscriptions). Playing these game is free, no initial purchaches and no monthly payments. They generate revenue through optional microtransactions: additional features, costumizations or benefits which can be acquired in exchange for real money. As trendy as it is, this choice still has its issues: mainly the unfiltered community, and a microtransaction selection which may put off players. Although it wasn't too much of a problem among the oriental market (where this model started gaining track), the latter tends to bring on an strong rejection by occidental gamers, with issues like holding off crucial game content from non-paying players or pay2win (*) transactions.
Aside from those three, other less common billing models exist. It's the case of the games enabling real money transactions between players and taking a cut from them (see Real Money Auction House in Diablo 3), or those which add in-game advertisement from real brands (recently announced as one of the revenue means to be implemented in the next Blizzard MMO, Titan). Of course, any combination of the known models is possible, too.
So, getting back to the original question: what would be your model of choice? any combination or original occurrence that you would like to see implemented?
(*) A note on pay2win: A game is considered pay2win when it allows microtransactions which provide a player with an unfair advantage over the others, and is considered a no-go by most western gamers. Since it's a designation made up by the community the limits of its reach are not clearly cut: whilst a game where you can buy equipment superior to that obtainable in-game is almost univesally considered pay2win, and purely cosmetic features are generally not, there's divergence about things like XP bonuses or game features also available through in-game means (like League of Legends). Every person has a limit on what he or she considers acceptable, and that's what counts; pay2win is just a word, and diiscussing its meaning is not the purpose of this thread.
In my pipedreams about MMORPGs, I see me buying the box (aka: The complete game) and paying a sub. I would never be charged more for any future content and cash shops are gone. It will never happen, though. Cash Shops are too lucrative to ignore.
- Al
Personally the only modern MMORPG trend that annoys me is the idea that MMOs need to be designed in a way to attract people who don't actually like MMOs. Which to me makes about as much sense as someone trying to figure out a way to get vegetarians to eat at their steakhouse.

He was raised in Huntington until he was 8 years old at which time his parents moved to Castle Dale. His father was a teacher at North Emery High School and Emery High School for 31 years. Neal's father was also a beloved teacher by his students.
Neal attended Emery County schools and in 1976 graduated from Emery County High. From 1977-1979 he served a LDS Mission in New England. In 1979 he married Gwen Cook. Neal met Gwen at the local Lamb Day Celebration when they were 15 years old.
Neal graduated from the College of Eastern Utah in 1981, where he had been a member of the debate team. While debating for CEU, he won 72 trophies in two years.
Gwen was raised in Fountain Green. She graduated from North Sanpete High School and Snow College. She has a degree in early childhood education.
Neal and Gwen attended Brigham Young University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He was hired in the fall of 1983 to teach at Emery High School. He taught alongside his father for eight years.
When Neal and Gwen moved back to Castle Dale, Gwen operated her own pre-school for seven years and taught piano lessons for 12 years. She teaches water aerobics at the Castle Dale pool and only in the last three years has learned to swim.

He has been involved with the youth of this county all of his adult life. "He has bridged the gap between youth and adulthood for so many young people, this newspaper would be unable to hold their stories."
Gwen has raised their five children and supported Neal in his many activites. She has chaperoned high school bus trips, has sewn costumes for plays, played the piano for musicals, and made it possible for Neal to do the things he has done.
Neal has also served in other types of community service for the residents of Emery County and Castle Dale.

We thank you all for the countless hours you give on behalf of our youth. The Fair Board chooses to honor Neal and Gwen as examples and great examples they are. There were so many others that were presented to the fair board that follow the same type of life and leadership that Neal and Gwen exemplify. To all of you we say thank you for being bridge builders.

Halifax to host the 2011 SWATCH FIVB Junior World Championships
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Nov 2, 2010 – The Halifax Waterfront was announced as the venue for the 2011 SWATCH Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) Junior World Championships, August 30th - September 4th at a press conference held today at the Delta Halifax.
The five day tournament will see over 400 delegates and athletes from more than 30 countries in Halifax for both the men's and women's championships. On hand for the announcement was one-half of Canada's gold medal men's team, Sam Schachter. He and team mate Garrett May were undefeated in their bid to take the 2010 international title home to Canada this past September in Alanya, Turkey. "It was really surreal to win the championship and hearing today's announcement and knowing that it is coming to Canada next year is really poignant for both Garrett and myself." Their win gave Canada its first ever medal and first final four placement for either gender in the event's 10-year history.
Canada has been a member of the FIVB since 1953. Volleyball Canada currently oversees an organization of over 80,000 members nationwide. Ed Drakich brought remarks on behalf of Volleyball Canada and the FIVB, "these championships come as we see the continued proliferation of our sport across Canada. Bringing the best in the world junior divisions and the FIVB tournament to Halifax in 2011 is history in the making."
The FIVB World Junior Championships are held annually at beach locations all over the world. Perhaps one of the more unique features of the Halifax event will be the venue and the re-creation of a beach surface with a temporary stadium. Roughly 2000 tonnes of sand will be trucked into position via 66 triaxle trailers in the week leading up to the international championships on the Halifax Waterfront's Cunard Lot. Event Producer and President of Sports and Entertainment Atlantic, Derek Martin felt the venue and the timing of the championships made Halifax a perfect selection for the 2011 tournament. "The Halifax Waterfront provides an absolutely stunning location and our date will allow us to celebrate the end of summer with a party that the whole world is invited to attend."
Martin was pleased with the early support from the corporate community adding that, "we are well on our way to making this event a success with many partners recognizing the value and significance of attracting this International championships to Halifax."
Corporate partners who have already signed on for the event include: Waterfront Development Corporation, CTV, CHUM, the Chronicle Herald, CBS Outdoor, Bud Light Lime, Avis, the Delta Halifax, Atlantic Digital, Coca-Cola, RCR Hospitality and Canuckstuff. Martin closed by saying, "several opportunities remain for partners and service providers of all sizes. "
About The FIVB:
The FIVB consists of 220 affiliated Federations and governs, manages and promotes all forms of Volleyball and Beach Volleyball worldwide through tournaments such as the World Championships, World League, World Grand Prix, SWATCH FIVB World Tour, SWATCH FIVB World Championships, Continental Beach Volleyball Cup, Beach Volleyball World Cup, World Cup, Grand Champions Cup, Junior and Youth tournaments and, of course, the Olympics. In the words of now Honorary President Dr. Rubén Acosta, the FIVB has entered the third phase of its life with the election of Jizhong Wei as President, after 24 years of continuous improvement under Dr. Acosta and the 37 years of leadership from President Paul Libaud. The crowning achievement after 24 years of peerless leadership from Dr. Acosta was in realising his dream of creating a fitting home for Volleyball's future generations. The result of his endeavour was the creation of "Château Les Tourelles", FIVB's stunning headquarters on the banks of Lake Geneva in Lausanne, Switzerland.
