I used to be a huge fan of browser-based RPG's. The one I played most was called, "Archmage," later reconstructed under the name, "The Reincarnation."
The interesting thing about this game, and its genre, was that there were no fancy graphics. It was based entirely in 1998 browser windows, displaying stats and text with some cool images sprinkled here and there.
I would say that this early genre was the foundation for games like Farmville. In both games, you manage, 'buildings' which grant you income/economy. You use that income to grow your city.
The main difference between Archmage and Farmville, however, is the amount of cooperation and competition involved. Farmville and subsequent games have no challenge. You work with others, and you grow your 'land,' but through an investment of time, not strategy.
Archmage on the other hand allowed users to compete with each other. Strategically, you had to manage your army, and economy correctly, or risk losing units or structures. You focused on gaining "land" to expand your territory, like Farmville, but it could be stolen from you in battle and you too, could expand by attacking others.
The other difference, and the main meat of this topic discussion, is that Archmage doesn't use a 'field' or placement grid for buildings. Your city was represented as a bunch of numbers, with gold regen(+ or -) mana, building count, etc. As is your army. When you attack, you don't do anything manually. You are presented with a report, and wit how much land/gold you gained and how many units died.
Is there a place for games like this still? Games that focus more on strategy and numbers than handholding and graphics?
I suppose the questions comes up, does implementing graphics/2d fields/grid take away from the strategy, or hamper the experience.
To start the discussion off, I would argue that, in a way, it does hamper the experience. If the gameplay requires constant building/rebuilding of structures (which archmage would), it would get annoying to have to manage placement of buildings that might vanish or be destroyed.
You could choose to visually show expansion by managing a dynamic image which changes with player power, but I think thats about as necessary as it would get.
This means that the main question is, would players be able to handle a game with no graphics? I think there is certainly a niche, but could that niche be expanded and grown?

Tonsil glands are located in the back of the throat. They contain immune cells which fight infection.
Tonsillectomy is advisable when tonsillitis attacks are so frequent or severe that they affect a child's general health or interfere with school, hearing, or breathing. However, tonsillectomies are thought to be done more often than necessary, so a second opinion should be obtained when there is any doubt.
Specifically, the guidelines for surgery are:
Tonsillectomy is advised if the tonsils are enlarged and obstructing access to the adenoid during an adenoidectomy operation, or the physician suspects the presence of a tonsil tumor.
Under general anesthesia, the ear-nose-throat (ENT) surgeon holds the mouth open and pulls the tongue forward to reveal the tonsils. The tonsils are pulled away from the back of the throat and then removed by being cut away. Bleeding is controlled, and often the cut heals naturally without stitches.
Patients are generally observed in the hospital for between 12 and 24 hours after surgery. Removal of the tonsils is not known to cause any problems later in life.

Response to 'Bigotry should not be welcomed in Port Clinton restaurants'
A response to this Sound Off.
Although it's against my better judgement to respond to this in a public forum I would like to take this opportunity to present my point of view.
Most certainly my intentions are never, ever to hurt anyone's feelings. My intentions are to expose the hypocrisy of homophobia, racism, misogyny and other human ailments through humor and song. To point out, make fun of, and celebrate our differences. To laugh at each other and ourselves and to show that we can all have fun together. Most people get it...sadly, there are some who don't.

|Inflatable Watercraft Rafts, pontoon boats, kickboats, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
maiden voyage
i know id like to check out atlantic or steelie water as a first trip but im sure your thinking bout big brookie water up north. but honestly a great frst trip might be to float the deleware this spring. sick water to get into without trespassing and big browns at night on an overnight itinerary with minimal hiking might just be the thing. let me know if you need less than silent investors as i could scrounge some coin to help make purchase. when will the cuppy cakes be ready.
ps spey pages has a meiser trout spey rod up for auction and the deleware has some grey spey water to boot. times a wastin rand.
|Yo TG- Yeah from Slamin Salmon to EO there are many options, in our neck of the woods. I am even thinking the Mettawe so I can the finger to anyone that say no trepassing and explore more down to the NY border.
|Randy- FWIW- I saw a guy back in January floating the Salmon from Compactor to Town in a watermaster- sweet looking little rig. I have had a pontoon boat for years, which I never use anymore and have been thinking about a watermaster- Hi Ho Hi Ho, an EO float we go.
|Hey Pescafile, Thanks for the feedback on the rafts, and aquasole inserts! It is good to know that you prefer the grizzily over the kodiak, due to the added weight and space within the pack. Yeah it is a bummer on how much these rafts cost, espeacially that new 15lber!?!?!! I am hoping once I get one it will pay for it self in two years. I figure I can paddle my way to your neck of the woods and save on airfare....
My Grizzly model is quite light and easily light enough for me to use for a 1 to 2-mile hike. I don't know what your physical abilities are, but if you're near average in that regard, you'll have no trouble packing a Watermaster Grizzly. If you're going overnight though, you'll have a pretty good load between your fishing tackle, overnight gear and your raft -both in weight and bulk. If you wont be going more than one or two miles, physically able and wont be staying more than a couple nights, the standard Grizzly model might be best. The lightweight model is significantly more expensive and, as I said above, probably less durable. There's also the question of how easy the material is to patch when (not if) you need to make a repair.
The dry bag/backpack that came with my Watermaster is large enough in size to carry other items, e.g., fishing gear, etc. besides the raft/oars/pump. My friend's Kodiak model comes with the same dry bag and, being larger, consequently has much less room in the bag to carry other gear -another advantage besides the lighter weight and lower cost.
Cool, thanks for the input. Good to know about the light weight option.......I am planning/hoping on hiking(slowly) up to 1-2 miles in some cases.
The guy who makes the winderness access used to work and design for watermaster. I think the waterstrider is also affiliated in some way to the makers of watermaster.
For my money I would stick with watermaster as they have been in business the longest. You want to look at the bruin package which is the lightest and should be great for new england waters. I own a grizzly and it is not something I would pack for overnighters unless it was a short hike.
I've had a watermaster for 3 years that I bought on the recomendation of a friend who has used one for quite some time. I hadn't heard of the other rafts but looking briefly at their respective web sites, they appear to be the same. Perhaps they're all made in the same factory and then simply labeled with the different company's name? I know Abel used to sell a raft that also seemed to be identical to the watermaster.
My watermaster is quite lightweight and portable. I'm quite pleased to have purchased a one-man watercraft of this design instead of the more common catamaran-type pontoon raft. The ease and speed of getting the raft ready to fish or to pack it away is a big advantage for me.
My watermaster is the grizzly model. Another friend has the Kodiak model which is slightly larger. I'm glad I bought the smaller raft as it's more than adequate and I don't see benefits of the slightly larger size of the Kodiak outweighing the extra size and weight. Watermaster also shows that they have an ultralight model (15lbs. !) which you might look into. I don't know anything about this model but the obvious question about one would be the durability of the material.
Any Help Pick My Packable Raft?
Well I have narrowed my search down to three providers.
Water Strider
Wilderness Access
I am priamry looking to use this for day trips on local waters here in New England chasing trout, sometimes I will be hiking in to remote access spots, and even looking to take minimal gear for an overnight. In addition, I hope to have this acompany me on a plane so weight is also important as well.
Also look for any reccomendations for dealers.....

I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
That is stunning, Netflix having exclusive rights to the online distribution of Star Wars, as well as great Disney movies (I've been jonesing to see 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea lately) is quite a coup.
This doesn't entirely make sense to me, but I suppose I'll go along with it. While Lucasfilm owns ESB and ROTJ, I always believed the original was still controlled by 20th Century Fox. This raises a lot of questions for me if Disney was able to exclusive offer streaming rights for the films. Hmm....
Lucas bought the rights to ANH back from Fox a while back, now all Fox has are the permanent ANH distribution rights (their distribution rights to all the sequels expires in 7 years). I don't know if Disney did a deal getting Fox to let them use those distribution rights in this Netflix deal, or if digital distribution was somehow not in Fox's perpetuity distribution deal.
Netflix seemed to be completely in the toilet just a year ago.
Really not digging the exclusive rights thing, not just in this instance. Having to sign up for multiple services is completely contrary to what the nature of the interwebs should be. Senator Stevens would be spinning in his grave if he knew that his series of tubes was being corrupted in this fashion. (Okay, the wording is silly, but exclusivity on the internet is becoming a serious concern.)
That's my jacket!
That's a very odd interpretation, Chux. These are not free ideas, they weren't free to produce, so why should they be freely distributed? Why should a producer of content give up their rights to that content simply so that consumers can get it across multiple platforms? The internet is great at sharing ideas, but sharing should be the right of the content creator - if you want your family photos distributed everywhere to everybody for any use, that's your right, but what if you DON'T want that?
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I don't mean freely distributed. However, restricting the content to one provider is a bit sucktastic, since the providers don't offer an a la carte option. If all exclusive content is restricted to one provider, that gives them a monopoly; if it's spread among providers, it screws over people who pick the other providers.
One or two exclusives is one thing. But imagine if Hasbro signed a deal with Target to be the exclusive retailer for Hasbro toys. That would really suck hard for people who can't (or refuse to for unrelated reasons) shop at Target but want their action figures. Or how about if the new Star Wars movies would only be shown at a theater chain that's the largest overall, but is only in major cities?
Just seems to be shooting themselves in the foot a little bit to restrict the paid (emphasis: paid) outlets for their movies.
That's my jacket!

I posted hi-res pictures of The Joker from Kotobukiya on ActionFigs.com.
Koto Joker looks pretty wild, the eyes are downright creepy. The pose puts me off though, and the face (including the eyes) is a little too grotesque for my tastes (though I've never been a huge fan of the Joker anyway).
Thanks, and good luck finding yours.Quote:

Here's my reviews on the 2 SR figs I picked up yesterday:
Superman Returns Solar Force Superman - this set had one of the few Superman accessories that actually looked good to me, plus this figure had the articulated ankles I wanted, so on a slow figure hunt I picked this one up. Unfortunately, Mattel made some poor choices with this figure and the end result is dubious. First mistake, Mattel painted Supes' upper body with an unusual red color that fades off, part of the solar force glow - it's weird looking on the figure by himself and only painted on the front so when he raises his arms there's none underneath, it's an interesting idea but leaves the figure with paint all over him when the accessory's not in use. There are other deco problems as well, the hands and neck are pretty sloppy, and the blue on the lower legs doesn't match the upper legs, a problem my Clark-to-Supes figure doesn't suffer.
Unlike Clark-to-Supes, Solar Force here sports a rubbery cape rather than a fabric one, rubbery capes are better for flying poses since they hold their shape. The figure's ball-jointed head doesn't have as much range of motion as Clark-to-Supes, and the standard shoulder articulation gives the figure a stiff, blocky feel to him when standing; the cupped hands and sculpted butt-plate keep the figure from being all he can be in the traditional flying pose as well, too bad since the ankles are meant for that, but he does look decent in a 1-handed flying pose. My biggest frustration with this set is the head they put on Supes, it's got some awful beyond-constipation look like he's gritting his teeth or imitating an old man or something, it looks utterly ridiculous and more importantly it doesn't look like Brandon Routh at all, the face - most notably the chin - is wider than Mattel's regular Routh Supes head, and they made his ears stick out just a little to add extra chimp-factor.
Finally, the solar force accessory is a firey cone of plasma as Superman flies full-speed into the atmosphere (there's a couple shots of something like this in the SR trailer), all cast in translucent yellow plastics. The accessory comes in 2 pieces, a smaller yellow piece that Supes holds right above his head, and a much larger plasma cone that uses paint to transition from yellow to red, this piece isn't as clear as the smaller piece but does look fairly exciting and hot. The smaller piece fits in Supes' hands but once everything is in place it slips out of his hands often, the design should have wrapped all the way around the hands to prevent this, the smaller piece is a spring-loaded projectile launcher and the larger plasma cone is the projectile, the trigger for this is VERY hard to activate, and located so it'll knock the holder out of Superman's hands every time. Everything connected up, the set looks good together like it's burning up right around Superman as he blasts through the atmosphere. It looks good from the sides, the bottom, even the back, but the top is notched out almost to the end so it doesn't look as good, and the trigger peg sticking up and the legs not being able to go as far back as they should do hamper the look a little.
Bottom line, it's a cute idea but the head sculpt really ruins it and the plasma glow paint on the upper body doesn't help either, and at this price it's not worth your time unless you want this 1 specific scene.
Superman Returns Kryptonite Armor Lex Luthor - There's 2 Lex Luthor figures in this line so far, and except for paint and accessories, they're actually the same figure. The other Lex, Missile Launching Lex, gets the rubber overcoat and cool movie-accurate accessories, but underneath his head and body are the same as Kryptonite Armor Lex here - I think they work better on that figure. This Krypto Armor figure is supposed to represent Lex in his regular clothes, with a regular shirt and tie, belt and pants, but since this sculpt is meant to do double-duty as Arctic Lex, it also has bigger pants, hiking boots, and big gloves - I can overlook the pants and boots, but the gloves unfortunately cannot be denied. The body sculpt is pretty soft, the pants and especially boots get some good detailing but the upper body is fairly simplistic. The pants, gloves, and boots are all black, while the shirt is light blue and the tie off-white, and even with a simple tie the work here is a touch sloppy. The head sculpt is recognizable as Kevin Spacey, but the sculpting is again a bit simple, couple that with the neck seems too tall, the head a touch too small, and the eyes and eyebrows painted a bit too big, giving it almost the appearance of Michael Rosenbaum's Lex from "Smallville" which is interesting from a certain point of view. This body and head worked way better with the big rubber coat from the Missile Launching figure because it hid the proportion issues and the long neck. Also, I really would have liked some angry eyes and eyebrows, this toyetic, blank-minded gaze just doesn't cut it with all the armor.
And speaking of which, the figure's accessories are the 7 translucent green pieces of plastic which make up Lex's Kryptonite Armor - apparently Lex Luthor outsources his kryptonite armor designs to China, as they made sure the right boot was showing it right in the front, couldn't put it on the sole huh? The big forearm blade and the spring-loaded trident missile are cast in milky, semi-opaque green plastic, while the other 5 pieces are cast in a harder and clearer creen plastic, and while the clearer green looks better as kryptonite, the milky green looks better as armor pieces, so naturally they reversed that idea. The boots have 3 pointy portrusions, they slip on over the front of the lower legs but not all the way back, so while he can stand in them fairly well, make sure he's posed so he won't tip backwards from lack of heel support. Then there's the long krypto-blade snapped onto his right forearm, it's milky plastic and more rounded than the other parts so it looks more like a melting icicle. The left forearm has a missile-launcher clipped onto it, the clip takes a little adjusting to fit it on snugly, and you can see the spring in the guts, or "maybe that's the energy harnassing coil that turns this kryptonite into a beam weapon!" - heh, sure, whatever helps you sleep at night. Anyway, the launcher fires a vaguely trident-shaped milky krypto-missile, and the trident projectile is the only thing here that Lex can hold in his hands, a krypto-trident or krypto-axe, why not. Finally, the 2-piece chest armor, which snaps closed at the shoulders so it fits around Lex's head, shoulders, chest and back, the armor's fit is pretty loose so it can accomodate Lex's arms being moved at all - but I don't like loose armor. The angular armor's sculpt is an intentional homage to Lex Luthor's battle suit of the '70s and '80s, complete with the center triangular "T" pattern - it's a cute idea, but the clear plastic and loose fit lessen its impact.
Bottom line, there might be some kid value, with Lex sporting armor that can weaken Superman down enough to make it an interesting fight, but the end result doesn't work all that well as armor or as regular Lex, making it more of an oddity than an action figure - get the missile launching Lex instead.
Slightly off-topic, but how can you not be a fan of the Joker? He has no super strength, no superhuman abilities of any kind, is not a particular good fighter, and isn't really all that bright, and in spite of that, he's one of the deadliest villains in comic book history. And he's so absolutely perfect as a polar opposite to Batman. . . and yet very disconcertingly like him at the same time.
The character is written all over the map, sometimes he's a crazed killer, sometimes he's just involved in all the joke stuff, sometimes he's a master criminal, sometimes he's just a buffoon. And he doesn't do much to threaten Batman usually, he's not in prime physical shape much of the time, sometimes he's not armed, his tricks can be downright embarassing, it always feels forced there. I can't think of enough times where I felt like the Joker lived up to his reputation as the ultimate Batman baddy, and that's a problem.
Okay, I can see where you're coming from, but I'd fault the individual writers rather than the actual character. When handled properly, the Joker is magnificent, but when he's not, he falls flat.
I recommend checking out the A Death in the Family collection, along with the animated film Mask of the Phantasm, and--especially--The Killing Joke. That graphic novel is the most purely evil, perfectly-done Joker characterization ever. Even if you hate Batgirl, like I did, the SOB will turn your stomach in that one.
So, i got myself the Kryptonite armor Lex figure today. A WM i stopped at had two. and did you guys know about the TRU superman exclusive figure? It looks like the one pictured in the two-pack as he's in his Silver space suit thing. I scanned e-bay and found a pic. It rang up for about 7 bucks ala their "exclusive" Ducard figure. I know J&H will go get it. :crazed:
IMO, the's nearly always handled improperly. I think part of the problem is that over the years, they've let Batman's abilities get out of control the way they did with silver-age Superman, where Supes could lift planets with a pinky, Batman is the ultimate fighter/detective/vigilante of all time now so the Joker has to be ramped up to match that. Oftentimes the Joker is really good at hand-to-hand combat, kills unmercilessly, yet somehow gets paroled from Arkham only a few weeks later. Plus he's all over the map, sometimes he wants cash, sometimes he wants to kill his enemies, sometimes he wants to mutilate/kill everybody in Gotham, sometimes he's merely out to further anarchy, I just wish they'd find a niche to put the guy in and stick with it.Quote:

The guy supposedly is chalked up over 2,000 kills in his current mythos, yet somehow he's still able to get into Arkham and then get out - at that many kills, the federal gov't would have put him in a federal prison long since, and had Arkham shut down.Quote:

No, that would be his (likely) illegitimate son, Anarky. That's a fifth-stringer I'd like an action figure of.Quote:

Also, at TRU today, I saw those silver Kal-El figures with a sign on 'em, if you buy $20 or more of Superman Returns figures, you get Kal-El free.
I saw 2 more Krypto-Armor Lex Luthors at Target tonight, I don't think these will be hard to find.
I also saw 1 Up Up & Away Supes and bought him since I'm a sucker for flying Superman figs - but he's kinda lame, he's not a real action figure at all, he's a gimmick 1-pose figure, can't even stand upright! The colors of the plastic and the sculpting don't match from piece to piece which is annoying. His head is the same regular Supes head, still on... ACK! His head just came off and flew across the room! Luckily I saw where it went and got it. Anyway, I was gonna say it's still on the double-ball joint like Clark-to-Supes but now that his head came off I can see it's actually on a different double-joint, the top is a ball and the bottom is essentially a hinge. The head joints let him look upright but not quite as far as he should (hence when I tried, his head came flying off). The ankles and knees are spring-loaded for the gimmick, the hips and shoulders are geared together and spring-loaded for the gimmick, so besides the head the hinged elbows are the only actual points of usable articulation. The shoulders are sculpted like they're ball or universal joints, but they're not - though they can ratchet into other positions somewhat. The hands are sculpted fists, kinda poor-looking and at the halfway rotation - he looks like he's miming driving a car, he really should have had wrist articulation to accomodate this. The gimmick is that you hold Supes down against the ground in a crouched-to-leap position and when you lift him up he springs into a flying pose complete with pointed feet. While his legs are nicely close together, they don't angle quite far enough back so it looks close, but just a little off (the knees stopping a tiny bit earlier would have gone a long way here), and it doesn't help that his shoulders should come in slightly too. The figure's got a rubbery cape, and in the middle of that is a hole which corresponds to a tube in Superman's back, the figure's lone accessory is a key-like accessory which plugs into this hole, but all this turns out to be is a tab so you can hold the figure down for his gimmick, it doesn't turn anything and it's very hard to get back out of his back, and you could just hold the figure by the waist instead of using it.
Also, TRU had the LEGO UCS Batmobile for $70, but I was not impressed.

More PETA
True story. Hell I would of done the same thing. I was bite just like that by our cat years ago. Knew he was not rabid though.
Love thos LA LA land folks was there last month, it has not changed beleive me!!!
I do agree with them on this stupid abuse of an animal, I wonder how Mr. "Bubba The Love Sponge" would like this applied to him IN PUBLIC ?
In this case I would rather be alone with PETA people than Mr " Bubba The Love Sponge"
Note, I used to be a hunter but gave it up in 1971 when we came back from NYS with a bunch of rabbitts and squirrels and were to lazy to clean them when we got home. I asked my friend what he did with them ? He said he through them out. I asked myself what is the point in this.
Gave up hunting concentrated on fly fishing, skiing, and hunting women in the 70s. Yes they were very good years.
Holy Cow!
you have the 'gift' of understatement. These people(?) have lost all sense of perspective.
PETA - Tax Exempt Status
Your opportunity to voice for the redemption of PETA tax exempt status
I'd be scared to be alone with these people

Greed and power will bring our society down, but hopefully not the fisheries until I leave this earth.

Eric I do not believe that we have evolved, one of the signs of evolution is that a species always changes for the survival of the species. The "survival of the fittes thing", if it were true,acient north amercians would have alot more body hair then thoes of european decent, as it would greatly increase their chance of survival. Shure there are abbdatations in the natural world, but if species truely evolved, nothing would ever go extinct.
I believe that Man was made manager of all things natural, And we have greatly failed at this task, Man has misunderstood the natural world. We less then a centry ago, raped the verry resorces that sustained us, never getting our bellies full, many riches were made from greed. This doesnt mean that industry is all bad. I know loggers that have great respect for the eco-system that they harvest, they actually help the system, and set out to do so. When it comes to Industry, greed is the "culprit". We as a people know what is right and wrong. I have never done anything wrong without knowing it was wrong. I also never have felt that my fishing was wrong.
Peta: is full of people that have smoked all the reasoning cells out of their brain.
Eric -
Great anecdote, the five 'f's! Hopefully not in that order though
We Are What We Are
There's no question that being fought and reeled in is an unpleasant experience for a fish, at least from as far as we can anthromorphize our feelings onto these animals. This, however, is beside a point which hasn't been brought up enough or made strong enough, methinks.
We are, like the fish, a product of our evolution. As Juro points out, we're all animals in this together.
The human species evolved as hunter gatherers, that is to say, we're opportunistic predators. This predatory instinct manifests itself to varying degrees within us and takes its form in many ways, fishing being one of them. We feel the need to catch fish, to pursue fish, to strategize how to catch more and catch better fish because it's in our genes. Catching fish has helped our species survive to this point. Because most of us do not need to catch fish to survive, again is not the issue. We do not want to lose the instinct and ability to pursue and capture prey -- it may not be of vital importance now, but in generations to come, on a bombed out planet, it just may become important again. Fishing is our culture, our heritage, our capital in the survivorship bank. Keep at it.
Some biologist once described the primary drives of the species as the 4F functions -- feeding, fighting, fleeing and mating behavior. To this we may add a fifth: fishing.
Peta ... Peta? Isn't that a
hollowed out bread which you fill with stuffing for a sandwich? Well maybe fill one with .... and ask them to 'bite this.'
|Maybe this is where we, as sportsmen, need to begin focusing our attention in dealing with such groups. The Ontario government introduced the Heritage Hunting and Fishing Act giving Canadian sportsmen the right to hunt and fish. Alabama amended their state constitution in 1996 to include a guarantee to hunt & fish. Mississippi followed, I believe. If sportsmen have the constitutional right to hunt and fish spelled out, the anti-angling groups would then be infringing upon the sportsmans constitutional rights, which arguably could also include the pursuit of happiness.
|Dble Haul
Everyone has made some excellent points. I would just like to add one thing, and it has to do with the group's money issues. PETA has a website, and I implore you not to visit it. They justify the site's existence based on the number of daily hits, and by clicking over to it, no matter how morbid your curiousity may be, you are helping the organization to spread it's skewed views. Suffice it to say that this group depends on people who are followers, not leaders, who cannot and will not think for themselves.
I realize that by discussing their website some may want to visit it to see what I'm talking about, but I think that it's worth the risk. I'd rather have people know about the consequences of curiousity first. As a rule, I don't usually discuss PETA, because I simply don't want to acknowledge them. But as Juro has described, they have double and triple standards that can set the table for dangerous precedents.
Yep, I could beleive that about PETA.
Many so called public interest groups like that and they are usually operated by lawyers.
Sorry had to get that out. But I have to deal with our state and federal legal system on a daily basis at work and it is incredible as to the politics and beauvcreacy it has evolved into here in America.
One of my favorite sayings "It is out of control". No offense to the lawyers on this forumn, but I suppose I will hear something back from them.
If you do please PM me so we can do it in privacy and you will be limited to 1000 characters per message.
I battle about 30 corporate lawyers every week at work and a number of extenal firms and trade associations so I am well prepared for these conversations.
Note I am not a lawyer, but educated in business and life.
Peta just wants money!
I was reading an article on peta, and they stated that most of the money donated to the peta orginization was actually used by the managing people and none went to help out on projects to help the poor and mistreated animals. They just get to travel and play at the ignorant people who donate to them expense! Juro is right, that without the natural order of things, many would just plain disappear. The white tail deer is one of these success storys as well as many other animals. If they weren't hunted, they would eat themselves out of house and home, and you would have a mass starvation on hand. Hunting a fishing, done in a responsible manner will always leave us plenty of fish in the lakes and streams for those who choose not to do either, hunt or fish, but just to see! Even Yellowstone park cannot keep its animals in the area, because they would starve. Plus they re-introduced the wolves to help them manage the units..... Peta is just in it for the money....... Plain and Simple.... Like their minds.....:hehe:
|I am not biologist or a PETA fan ..that's for sure ...but I would think Fish ,like all living things of that order would feel pain... I mean pain is the body's reation to something wrong or as a self defence mechamism. If you did not feel pain you would not live long. Fish can sence temperature differences etc... now the pain may not be as we define it but there must be something that will make a fish or any animal react to an injury.
In nature, from which we are inseperable, predators chase and take prey. Lions eat gazelle. Pirhana eat mammals in a flurry of painful bitesized flesh-cutting chunks so quickly that these large amazonian rodents haven't had the chance to die as they disappear in a bloodbath of water, cleaned to the bone. Crocodiles eat... well anything. It's a dog eat dog world out there.
And on the other end of the spectrum there's PETA. Humans, who often consider themselves above nature, yet breathe the same oxygen, drink the same water and subsist on the same core nutrients as the rest of the earth's creatures, decide that they must stop people from engaging in fishing.
How more off-base from reality can you get? If fish could vote I am sure they would choose angling over extinction - and dams have rendered entire populations of fish extinct. I have never heard of PETA attacking power conglomerates to prevent the extinction of a whole race of fish, but they are sensitive to their feelings. There are no feelings in extinction.
When they form a picket line in the water to stop cormorants from eating fry, herons from impaling fish with their beaks, bass from swallowing other fish live, they are being fair about their argument (while exposing how ludicrous it is!).
When they stop polluters from dumping fish-choking chemicals, industry from emitting sulfuric and carbonic particulates that lead to acidification of lakes that slowly and painfully eliminates sensitive species (talk about suffering!), then they are on the right track to reducing animal suffering.
Nature sacrifices the few on behalf of the many, so that all benefit. The transfer of resources in this exchange is rarely "pretty" from a PETA perspective. By focusing on such a narrow track as angling rights, they are missing the boat. They are not effecting meaningful reduction in animal suffering; nature will cull the population to a state of equilibrium in no more graceful manner than a caring angler would. Anglers are perhaps the largest body of humans on earth with a compulsion to protect not only the fish but the entire ecosystem around them, well most anyway. We suck at it sometimes but our hearts are in the right place.
If we suddenly stopped fishing in a Minnesota State Park, what has been achieved? A small enclave of anal retentive humans will be sated by the decision. That's about it.
PETA isn't about the animals feelings, it's about PETA people's feelings. Thinking they are in touch with nature, they couldn't be more out of it. Somewhere at this very moment, life on earth is succeeding because the natural cycle of life, death, and the game of numbers is taking it's course - uninterrupted by picket lines. When we choose to participate in this cycle, we confirm that we are still in our own way part of nature.

Need some help
Here is the INSTALLATION, TUNING, AND Adjustment Manual for your Holley 770. It will help you make adjustments you may need. You may need to get a rebuild kit so you can check the fuel bowls for thrash or to replace the needle and seat.
Replace the wires before you start messing with the carb.
The arcing you described seeing at night indicates that the cylinders aren't firing, thus it seems to be flooding out. Also, the more they arc the more the insulation breaks down, taking more of the spark energy away from the plugs.
Poor idle can often be a carb/fuel/pump problem, especially if you're flooding out. If you do have a fuel problem, it's either running rich and you can smell the fuel; or it's running lean and you will notice a burnt smell.
Also, before you replace the fuel pressure regulator, you should check the fuel level in the carb. Your holley has a plug in each fuel bowl, when you remove one (after briefly running the engine) a small amount of fuel should come out.
A lot of fuel coming out indicates that your needle/seat can't hold against the fuel pressure coming in, it (needle/seat) has deteriorated and needs replacement, or the float setting needs adjustment (least likely because it ran good before and the setting shouldn't change, of course the float could be leaking and need replacement).
No fuel coming out means float setting, needle/seat, or fuel pressure is the problem (along the line of previous discussion).
Obligatory WARNING - raw fuel spilling from the carb can catch fire causing serious injury or death, take necessary precautions. Oh and that thing about gasoline and cancer!
Well the condition seems to be getting worse, now it starting to idle kind of rough in park/neutral too. Tonight I went out to start the truck, let it get to operating temp and like i said it seemed to idle slightly crappy in neutral. I shifted into drive and after 30 seconds or so it sputtered, coughed, and died. but this time when I tried to restart it, it wouldn't start. It just cranked and cranked. I let the truck sit for a little over a minute and then it started right out.
I'm thinking that it flooded out and I'm starting to rule out torque converter. Could this be the sign of a failing coil, sending a weak spark and letting the engine flood out? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance.
Alright so I'm starting to lean towards a possible fuel problem now. Last night I went out and turned the idle fuel screws out a half turn each. started the truck and let it warm to operating temp. I put it in drive and I thought it was fixed. The engine didn't bog down or anything, it ran great. Then like clock work after 60 seconds it sputtered and died quickly, almost with out warning. After that I couldn't get the truck started untill about two minutes later. I'm pretty sure the engine was flooded out.
I let it sit, turned the screws back in a half turn and it started right up again. Could I be looking at a carb problem? It seems like its getting enough fuel if it flooding out. Or do I just need to keep looking for the right idle fuel mixture?
well I set the fuel pressure going to the carb at 5psi and no change. But I noticed something and its got me thinking...is there any way that this problem could be caused by cold weather?
Ever since I've had this engine and trans combo I've never driven this truck past mid november. I've always parked it for winters so all tuning was done in summer weather. Last night it was 47 degrees here and the truck would die idling in gear after about 40-50 seconds (at operating temp). tonight it was 36 degrees and after having some trouble starting it at this temp it only idled for about 10-15 seconds in gear (at operating temp). Can cold weather have this effect or am I just being hopeful?
|I'll try that, hopefully my regulator is fine, It's a $80 or $90 holley fuel pressure regulator for return style fuel systems. I figure I'd get a holley regulator since its a holley carb. I couldn't run the tbi fuel pump right to the carb since that put out over 15 psi which would most likely set the carb on fire.
I would try it at 5 psi for sure that can be the problem if its flooding over the floats. Not all carbs and fuel pressure regulators will work correctly at max pressure. Best to pull it back some i bet that will help smooth things out a bit.
If it solves the problem but runs lean at wot the regulator needs to be upgraded. Tbi pump should be fine but regulators usaly cost a pretty penny for a good one.
In a perfect world I should be able to get the old fuel filter off with line wrenches, last time I tried the line itself was frozen to the nut so the line wanted to twist. I'll have to start spraying some wd40 on it a few days before. This weekend I'm going to try to replace that fuel filter and my arching wires. I have some msd 8.5mm wires on order.
as for the fuel pressure on the carb, I'm not actually sure what it should be set at, numerous sources I've found have said between 5 and 7psi. I'll lower the psi to 5 and see if that makes a diffrence but I'm not having a problem at high rpm, the truck runs amazing, it launches off the line, and pulls steady at all rpms, the problem is when I come to a stop and idle in gear for more than 40 seconds, after 40 seconds of idling in gear it will start to sputter and stall but starts right up again on one crank, or I can put it into neutral when it starts to sputter and it will be fine. Also I replaced my exhaust with long tube headers out to 3" true dual pipes to a pair of thrush mufflers with turn downs at the mufflers. The entire tbi system was removed. The computer is collecting dust on a shelf in my garage lol.
If it idles fine but falls off at high rpm with 6 psi your regulator may not be able to flow enough to support the carb at max flow. I would check with holley and see what the carb is meant to run at. If its 7 psi then ignore my dribble. LOL
Do you still have the TBI exhuast. is there oem o2 sensor still in place you can buy a lean rich guage pretty cheap and see if the motor is very rich or goes lean when the problem occurs. these just hook up to the stock o2 sensor and read the output. Now the o2 sensor has a small range but can be used for general lean rich condition check.
Need some help
You definetely need to get the old filter removed. This could be what's holding back your fuel volume. Doesn't both lines just screw into the filter? If so use locking pliers to hold the filter and whatever size line wrench to loosen the line nut.
|no I kept the frame mounted fuel filter but It may be original from 1988. I never changed it due to lines being frozen. I may have to bite the bullet and change it. But the fuel looks pretty clean in the glass filter before the carb.
Need some help
You still need to test the fuel pump. The pressure may look fine at idle but what about under load? You need to disconnect the fuel line from the carb and add a length of hose where you can pump gas into a bucket safely. You may not have enough volume. There could be some small specs of dirt got into the needle and seat in the carburetor. You should have a 40 micron filter before the carb not the cheap glass filters. Did you do away with the factory fuel filter that is on the frame rail on the driver's side.
The fuel pump is good, its a newer (6 months) in-tank tbi fuel pump. (truck used to be tbi) I have the pressure regulated to 7psi. I can see in the clear filter that the fuel is good and the fuel gauge shows a strong 7psi
As for the ignition I have a MSD street fire hei distributor and MSD street fire ignition box so i don't have and ignition module anymore. The coil seems to be firing fine, I have a clear distributor cap and can see that all 8 cylinders are getting a nice bright, strong spark. Now I know my wires are not the best, if you look under the hood at night you can see all but 2 cylinders are sparking in the boots at the spark plugs. I haven't gotten around to changing the wires but they've done this for almost a year now and this stalling problem is brand new.
From a dead stop when I floor the engine I break the rear tires loose and it seems to pull fine. I tried doing a stall test in 2wd but as soon as I got to half throttle it would start burning the tires. I retried the stall test in 4wd with all the tires blocked and at full throttle the tach read 2300-2500 so I think the torque converter is working. But when I brake torque with about quarter throttle it bogs down and dies unless I throw it in neutral real quick.
Sorry for the novel.
What about fuel pump? Also check the hei ignition moduale. They have problems and fail all the time if its stock i would replace it. Coil is also a likely suspect as they have a tendencey to crap out every so often. Bad wires and aweak coil rpm fails and spark voltages drops it will drop out.
Does it feel like its pulling or tugging in gear. Also if you flat floor it and ask for max power from a dead stop does it respond as it should. Usally tq converter will not be happy under full throttle launch if the converter is shot.
If the trans is working fine other wise i would not look at it first even if it feels like the trans is holding the engine back. Many times a bad spark plug wire will make and engine seem like the trans is choking it out.

Thinking I might need to take a few for a test drivethe DTs were still pretty darn soft
Thinking I might need to take a few for a test drivethe DTs were still pretty darn soft
IMO Neman & Bennett 2nds are a great bumper at good price
Yep..order placed. I went with what I know - Luckdog as I have had some for over 10 years....thats a pretty good track record if you ask me.
In Avery, I got 2 x Flashers as I really like the look of them. I like the black white being vertical rather than just the dummy being top half white, bottom half black.
Anyway if I like them I'll order more, If I don't it's only two dummies, so no real loss.
Labrador Retriever, a 20g & grouse...is there a better combination?
I'm a Lucky Dog man but tried the DT and they are awesome.New Avery's still are not for me.
FC AFC Slider/Junie
I like the Avery's in warmer weather but they get too hard in the cold weather. Heard a lot about Neumann/Bennetts and Lucky Dog so there are some on order...looking forward to them coming in soon. I also just got a few of the Real Duck ones made with fire hose material to use in the colder weather. They seem pretty good so far, but with the shipping were a little pricey so I hope they last a while!
I am in need of new training dummies too. Was planning on just buying more Lucky Dogs since I have used them successfully for many years. With all of the positive comments about DT, perhaps I will give them a try. I am looking to get about 30 dummies this time. Does anyone know of someone giving discounts on "bulk" orders of DT dummies?
Hopefully, 30 passes the mark of being a bulk quantity.
No discount that I'm aware of, and 30 2x11 will cost you about $150, 3x11 $185 or so. Sounds like you're wanting bumpers for pile work and the Ts. You could always sprinkle DTs in with the cheaper older much-harder-on-the-dog's-mouth bumpers, but for marks 10-12 DT "Soft-Mouth Trainers" is a good investment. They last too. Think I've still got the first one from when a Canadian trainer turned me onto them 10 years ago. Although you have to be vigilant as they have a habit of "disappearing" among your training group, especially around the time a new puppy comes along.
Bert, our fellow FTer and RTFer and Lablover and DogsAfielder Mr. Didier's got plenty of 'em:
Hope to see that new pup soon over our way.
Have any of you folks ever trained with the guy who says: "My dogs won't pick up XYZ".... This can be Dokken DFT, Canvas, whatever.
I'm embarrassed for folks whose dogs will blink a bumper that's not theirs.
Most of us in training groups are going to encounter a time where their dog is going to run a long distance and see/smell someone else's bumper from someone else's truck for the first time. You want your dog to readily acknowledge that bumper and snatch it up.
In my opinion, regardless of what you prefer, I'd advise you to go ahead and give your dog exposure to several different types of bumpers. You don't want to be one of those guys that shows up at a training day and says "Hey, throw my dogs those XYZ's. He HATES ABC bumpers." Train your dogs to think a bumper's a bumper's a bumper.

If voting is a right reserved for citizens only, then why is it outrageous to verify that you are a citizen entitled to vote?
We give health care and economic aid to anyone, regardless of their citizenship status because we consider those basic rights to all human beings. However, the right to vote applies only to citizens of the US. If it were not so, we might as well pass out absentee ballots throughout the world and give them all a vote, too.
I also don't think it's so unreasonable either to have basic reading skills ... how do you read the name on the ballot if you do not have basic reading skills? A lot of elections contain votes for proposals of new laws or regulations. How do you vote on those if you don't have basic reading skills? Public education is provided for everyone. We should expect that education to give everyone AT LEAST some basic reading skills. If it doesn't do so, we should fix that!

No voter fraud at my district. At my district NO ID = NO VOTE you're turned away and told to return with picture ID, and your signature better match what they have on file when you sign in to enter the voting booth.
In MN, it is being estimated that it will cost at least 3 million to provide gov issued photo ID to those who do not have it, and an additional 1-1.5 mil per election to manage it. Not to mention all of the local elections. A social Securtity card or Veterans discharge papers will not suffice. Nor will a birth certificate. Only gov issued photo ID. This is going to an extreme for a non-isssue.
And for those of you opposed to more goverment, you should be up in arms over this. This adds another layer of goverment where it is clearly not needed, as well as a substantial cost to the tax payers.

I bet you wish we would go back to only men voting and then back to only land owners. That would do away with your problem with the women vote and the 47% Romney does not care about since a large percentage of them lost their homes and are renting until they get back on their feet.
O yea...back to when African Americans couldn't vote, because I don't think you expect many votes from that group either.

So why would you take a cruise vacation over a land vacation?
Well there are a lot of great reasons. You only have to pack and unpack once. You don't have to drive to your destinations, and there's someone to take care of all the details. There are all types of activities on the ship from learning a new dance step to taking a cooking class to mastering the latest tips for using an iPad®, or maybe reading that book you've been wanting to start.
At every port there are all different types of excursions available. All you have to do is choose. Sightseeing. Shopping. The beach. Exploring vineyards. It's all up to you.
There are up to 12 different restaurants you can choose from-casual cafes to the ultimate in gourmet. And never eat the same thing twice.
In the evening there's a superb variety of entertainment from Vegas, West End and Broadway-inspired high energy productions to intimate live music to hot glass blowing shows and more.
We could keep going, but we think you got the point.

Disclaimer: As nothing really interesting has been happening lately, be forewarned that this entry will be somewhat dry and generally boring, even if for some reason you _are_ interested in the state of Linux/SH-2 support.
Lots of SH-2 hacking lately, quite exhausting, though still quite fun. The VBR semantics are completely different in relation to the SH-3/4, so this buys entry.S a much needed overhaul. Unfortunately this also required some changes in semantics, at least on the SH-2 side for the general-purpose exception handling code -- though this is all quite hacky already, especially given the number of different registers and register names, etc.
Another minor nuisance, gcc sanely labels things like saving off ssr as an SH-3 and up instruction, but binutils subsequently defaults to accepting virtually anything as valid. binutils CVS now seems to properly support a processor family flag that clearly defines this, so that should be dealt with relatively well once I get finished hacking that.. this will be an interesting contrast to gcc flags by ABI level, so hopefully that will all work out cleanly. Between that and the latest -fno-zero-initialized-in-bss mess with 3.3, I definitely hope we won't need more stupid gcc/binutils version specific checks for the kernel build, as these are already starting to add up..
Additionally, the fixed references to arch/foo/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S in the top-level kernel Makefile are truly annoying. This now forces anyone who wants to use multiple ld scripts to either make a wrapper script with ifdef abuse, or do gross symlinking hacks at build time. This is certainly a disappointing step back in comparison to the 2.4 behavior..
Back to the SH-2 issue, it should be a lot easier to identify what still needs to be done (other then things like the system call interface, which still needs cleanup for things like TRA referencing, INTEVT/EXPEVT stuff I just finished) once the aforementioned binutils issues are out of the way. It's quite bothersome to identify problem spots when the assembler will knowingly accept accesses to things like different register banks and ssr/spc, etc. even when these don't actually exist on the SH-2.. though I'm sure there will be quite a few. At least now with the exception vector, early SCI console, XIP, etc. out of the way, we should be set to actually start debugging on live silicon.. Now the only other trick is getting the page_alloc2 stuff updated and merged, and getting the overly pesky inode and dentry cache hast tables reduced in size -- there's not a whole lot of room when you've only got 512KiB of RAM to work with..
Also got some 7760 IPR patches sitting in my home directory, this is pretty much the last remaining portion of the 7760 backend that needs to go in (I did the exception vector / sh-sci / etc. stuff previously). So this is definitely good news, even though it reminds me that I still need to get the 7040/7044/7045/etc. stuff figured out and written..
Lastly, also got some uClibc hacking done. Some relatively uneventful sh64 syscall updates to satisfy current busybox, etc. Just finished off the pthreads work, so now we should be good to go for static pthreads.. that still leaves the ldso work, but that can wait for another day (particularly as it's rather mind numbing). After that, we should be able to start doing sh64 builds under buildroot, should be fun.

Bobby, thats some funny stories. Thats why I always have my .22 pistol on me. There are a couple of places here in the county that we do have some timber rattlers and water moccasins.
Thanks guys.....there's a few other stories to go with those at some point going back to one as a kid.......
Kentucky is a beautiful state......Daniel Boone sure liked it..lol.....Just read a great biography of him
I can see where you would have pretty much the same snakes we have.
Maybe the further south you go, the healthier some of em get.


text: Saw an interesting performance called "Vox Lumiere's The Hunchback of Notre Dame." They have big screens behind showing parts of the silent version of HBoND with Lon Cheney, while there are dancers and singers performing on the stage, accompanied by live rock music played. Lots to look at (reading words in between silent scenes, watching those scenes, following which character the dancers were playing, noticing the musicians, etc.). Pretty cool.

Roller coaster accident at Mt. Olympus under investigation
64-year-old fell out of Opa roller coaster, employee says
LAKE DELTON, Wis. - A state agency is investigating after a 64-year-old man fell out of a roller coaster at Mount Olympus in the Wisconsin Dells Thursday night.
The Department of Safety and Professional Services has sent OSHA Amusement Ride and Ski-tow inspection staff to the scene where a man fell 15 to 20 feet and landed on the floor.
A Mount Olympus employee said the man fell off the Opa roller coaster at the theme park, which is in a building behind the water park. The theme park is closed, but the water park is still open.
Officials said the man was not moving but he was breathing when they took the 911 call around 5:35 p.m.
The man was transported to St. Clare's hospital in Baraboo, and was then transported by Med Flight to UW Hospital, authorities said.
Lake Delton police said this is not a criminal investigation.
According to Patrick Salvi, an attorney who has handled several cases involving injuries and deaths resulting from amusement park rides, the investigation will focus on the actions of the person injured and roller coaster ride itself.
"The first thing you have to find out is what happened, how did this happen and that would include witness statements, statements from people operating the roller coaster," says Salvi. "Then you go to the documents having to do with having it been inspected. You inspect the roller coaster yourself and you involve people that are experts in amusement ride safety and are familiar with this device."
A spokesperson for Mt. Olympus Resort said that first and foremost their thoughts and prayers right now are with the gentleman who was injured and his family.
According to a release, Mount Olympus staff members have been very cooperative.
The ride's manufacturer, Zamperla Manufacturing, is investigating the incident as well.

Six win '78 Community Service Fellowships
Posted May 8, 2006; 05:19 p.m.
Six Princeton students have been awarded Class of 1978 Community
Service Fellowships to support their work in a variety of service
projects this summer.
The winners receive awards ranging from $2,000 to $3,000. The fellowships were awarded by the Class of 1978 Foundation, which was created by members of the class shortly after their graduation in an effort to support community service.
The winners are:
- Anastasia Frank, a senior, who will work as volunteer child advocate for CASA in Hoboken, N.J., a nonprofit organization that serves neglected and abused children in Hudson County. Frank is majoring in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
- Rachel Goldstein, a junior, who will serve as an intern for Prison Tails, a program that pairs dogs from animal shelters with inmates from a medium-security prison in Westville, Ind. She also will volunteer in the prison's "Thinking for a Change" program, which applies cognitive-behavioral psychology to change inmates' behavior. Goldstein is a history of science major.
- Andrew Lapetina, a junior civil engineering major, who will lead a group of eight students from Princeton's chapter of Engineers Without Borders-USA to build and install an irrigation system in Kumudo, a small village in Ethiopia.

Following the collapse of the great northern Sinhalese civilisation, Anuradhapura was reclaimed by the jungle, and largely forgotten by the outside world, except by the communities of reclusive monks who continued to live here
At the spiritual and physical heart of Anuradhapura stands the Sri Maha Bodhi or Sacred Bo Tree. According to popular belief (and who am I to argue!?), this immensely venerable tree was grown from a cutting taken from the original bo tree in Bodhgaya, India, under which the Buddha attained enlightenment. The original bo tree in India was destroyed not long afterwards, but the Sri Maha Bodhi survived. Cuttings from it have been grown all over the island, and indeed throughout the Buddhist countries of south-east Asia. The Sri Maha Bodhi sits at the centre of a large and elaborate enclosure, dotted with numerous younger bo trees and festooned with prayer flags. Far more interesting is the general scene in the enclosure, which is full of rapt pilgrims (the ladies dressed neatly in white saris) contemplating the tree and praying.
The last of the three great monastries built in Anuradhapura, was the Jetavana monastery founded towards the end of the third century. The centrepiece of Jetavana is its monumental red-brick dagoba. In its original form the dagoba stood 120m high, and was at the time of its construction, the third-tallest structure in the world, surpassed only by the two great pyramids at Giza. It was also the world's biggest stupa and is still the tallest and largest structure made from brick anywhere on earth. UNESCO-sponsored restoration began in 1981 but is still far from finished, parts of the structure are still encased in scaffolding, with rubble lying around. The dagoba has now lost its topmost portion, including the summit of its pinnacle, but still reaches a neck-wrenching height of 70m - similiar to the Abhayagiri dagoba.
The Abhayagiri monastery lies on the northern side of the city, and was founded in 88 BC. In many ways, Abhayagiri is the most interesting and atmospheric quarter of Anuradhapura. The sheer scale of the monastic remains is prodigious, while their setting, scattered amidst light woodland, is a little magical. As at the Jetavana and Mahavihara, Abhayagiri's most striking feature is its great dagoba. It formerly stood around 115m tall, though the loss of the pinnacle has now reduced its height to around 70m. As you can see from the photos, it's still largely unrestored, and rather resembles a gi-normous porcupine with its complete covering of metal scaffolding
Many visitors to Sri Lanka only have the time or the archeological enthusiam to visit one of the island's two great ruined cities (Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura). The two cities are sufficiently different, and it's difficult to call decisively in favour of either. The ruins at Polonnaruwa cover a smaller area, are better preserved - and there is nowhere at Anuradhapura to match the artistry of the Quadrangle and Gal Vihara. However, the sheer scale of the site at Anuradhapura is for me, more impressive, and its status as a major pilgrimage centre gives it a certain vibrancy and magic lacking at Polonnaruwa.
Back at the hotel, I once again had the rather depressing and slightly unnerving experience of eating in the restaurant where there were more staff than guests - apparently there were ten guests in total, but I only counted five during my two night stay. Anyone connected with the tourist industry continue to be hard hit, with desperation and concern written on many faces as numbers remain low despite now being well into the 'peak' season. Unsurprisingly, the recent landmine attack approximately 80km north of Anuradhapura has dented travellers confidence even further, and pushed those in the industry right to the edge.

a line used by the NPC guards in TES IV: Oblivion. Oblivion's NPC guards are in perpetual telepathic communication with each other, and every guard in the land is immediately aware and on alert for the player if even a single guard spots him doing something illegal. On top of this, they will often go to bizarre lengths to track down the criminal player, spontaneously appearing in odd places such as locked basements and cast all sorts of spells in order to dispense justice.

You know that quizzical look guys sometimes give—the one that wordlessly squeaks out, "I guess that's in right now?" Well, that look is brought on by not only our totally awesome fashion choices; sometimes our hairstyles are meant to please the girls or ourselves, or just get us from point A to point B.

Midlength hair shows your even temper
"This works for me. There's just something so right about being right in the middle." —Lorenzo, 39
Rocking your natural hair texture is hot
"I'm digging this natural girl." —Michael, 23
A messy topknot can look too unfinished

How to create a successful profile!Do you want to get maximum exposure & responses from other POF.com singles? Read below for important profile tips!
Take the time to think about your profile. If your profile is short,
sparse, and impersonal it is likely that other members will ignore any
messages that you send them. When members receive messages, they usually check
out the sender's profile, and if it is satisfactory, they'll take the sender's
message seriously otherwise it is deleted without even being read.
- Make sure you include a photo. Profiles that have pictures are viewed ten
times more than profiles that are bare. The more people that see your profile,
the more chances you have of finding your match!
Create a profile description with plenty of information about yourself. The
more you write in your profile, the more other members will be able to
identify with you and will want to contact you! Include information about what
you like, what you dislike, your passions, your fears, your personal beliefs,
and your personality traits. This is your chance to shine and really show
people what type of person you are!
Think up some creative first date ideas. Your first date ideas will reveal
much about your personality – whether you're sporty, romantic, adventurous,
sensual, easygoing, or sensitive!
If you follow these steps you should have no problem finding dates on this Dating Site!

Jerry,look all that i know is i am here in the shit. sorry for the language. but i really dont care. but i am pretty sure that i read that Frm Pres Clinton had comrade osama and a silver platter and everyone told him to act and he didnt. so its not just one administrations mess up. i just know that i cant shoot back at the enemy until i can positivley identify that he was shooting at me. i cant get a CAB if i am hit by a mortar while walking to the chow hall because it wasnt "defenitive enemy contact" but some guy in virginia can get a bronze star for sitting behind a computer and dropping a bomb from a UAV. explain to me how thats right. you know we all dont agree with alot of things but i think if what they were doing is wrong then you know in the end when they meet the man upstairs he will give them what they deserve if it was wrong. so there are so many things that tie my hands here that if they capture that guy that did the bombing and they smack him around a little bit then so be it. if it gets them just an inkling of information then it served its purpose. i by no means condone or disapprove of their methods. i think if you are willing to blow yourself up to kill thousands then you getting smacked around buy a few people trying to get you tell them something then what right do you have to bitch. and who are you bleeding hearts that think these people have rights. hell we dont have rights when they capture us. hell they freaking chop our heads off!!!!! i dont know maybe im just ranting because i am tired of seeing my battle buddie get blown up and there was something they could do about it and didnt because someone said it was wrong. i think people are put in situations and they make an on the spot decision. if that decision is right or wrong then so be it they will get punished in the end. if what those guys did at gitmo helped then who cares if what they did didnt get results then they probably would have only done it once. and tried something else. i know what i am saying probably dont make sense to you or it just sounds like a rant but i have a point. sometimes you have to fight evil with evil. not saying that it right. i just hope that yall dont interpret this the wrong way. thanks for listening.
Don't worry about what these couch potatoes have to say. It isn't that they are stupid, it's just that they know so much that just ain't so. You just keep on doing what you're doing and stay safe.
