(4:05:24) Limiter13: how I suppost to test?
(4:06:12) Pharaoh_Atem: Since yesterday, I've got 47 downloads of the updated set file.
(4:06:26) Pharaoh_Atem: Perhaps they just come on at different times, or avoid IRC altogether.
(4:06:45) Pharaoh_Atem: Either way, I note the difficulty you have in finding OCG players. I'll come up with a remedy shortly.
(4:07:04) Limiter13: of the 47, maybe 37 go on IRC, and of those 37 how many are really worth playing?
(4:07:11) Limiter13: maybe 3
(4:07:23) Limiter13: all the OCG people I see in IRC are terrible
(4:07:41) Pharaoh_Atem: Aye, but the situation is identical with the TCG, just on a larger scale, hence why it seems you have better luck.
(4:07:48) Pharaoh_Atem: *better luck with the TCG.
(4:08:15) Limiter13: but I also really don't play IRC randoms that much
(4:08:35) Limiter13: if I want to do some quaility playing I hit up people on AIM
(4:09:15) Limiter13: ATM, I don't know of any quality OCG players I can just hit up on AIM for a game
(4:09:22) Pharaoh_Atem: Duly noted.
(4:09:54) Pharaoh_Atem: How about I go throughout the various sites, and make a compendium of the OCGers who use my product?
(4:10:05) Limiter13: Go for it
(4:10:25) Pharaoh_Atem: Although randoms'll be included, it may be better than just fishing blindly through IRC, huh?
(4:10:41) Limiter13: I'd imagine it would be basically the same
(4:11:04) Limiter13: but since I maybe do a game a week it won't rly matter that much
(4:12:01) Pharaoh_Atem: Except you cut out the TCG middlemen; it's a matter of saying "there's this amount of people who use it, all generally available at times for a game", vs saying "there's 200 people in #yvd and not a single one runs OCG - how disappointing".
(4:12:39) Pharaoh_Atem: There's no way to remedy the whole problem, but there's a way to alleviate symptoms.
Ok, I'd appreciate it if this thread were able to be used as an IM Bank of sorts, to have and hold a contact network between OCG Setusers. Word has reached me that it is harder to find an OCGer these days; this is my attempt to remedy that.
So, as Official XeroCreative and DuelistGroundz OCG Setmaker, I say this: Drop off contact info. Discuss the OCG. Those are the purposes of this thread. Don't go too far off topic, please.
I'll periodically swing by and update the first post with the contact info.

I encourage players who don't have an IM System to get one: Trillian by Cerulean Studios can cover AIM, MSN, ICQ, IRC, and Yahoo! all at the same time.
I personally don't prefer it for IRC, but I prefer it for the IM programs.
Although I'm on campus and probably have no time to play, you're welcome to bug me every once in a while for a game. Bug me too often and I'll be rid of you; I'm no fan of getting a request from everyone every day.

NASCAR All-Star event lacking drama
Once hailed as the most distinctive and exciting of any showcase in professional sports, NASCAR's Sprint All-Star Race actually has become the most predictable.
- May 19, 2013

Once hailed as the most distinctive and exciting of any showcase in professional sports, NASCAR's Sprint All-Star Race actually has become the most predictable.
Carl Edwards captured the pole for the Sprint All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, paying tribute to the late Dick Trickle along the way.
While there will be 22 drivers that will comprise the field in Saturday night's Sprint All-Star race, Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are among the favorites, considering their three victories in the event tie Dale Earnhardt Sr. for the most all time.
Unprecedented speed at the Monster Mile was anticipated and displayed by NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers Tuesday
Matt Kenseth has rarely been more pleased in Victory Lane than he was during the weekend at Darlington Raceway. Maybe that's because of what he overcame to achieve the win.
James Hinchcliffe might have the busiest appointment calendar in IndyCar.
Matt Kenseth passed his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch with 13 laps to go to win his first Southern 500 on Saturday night.
Kyle Busch took the lead from Joey Logano 18 laps from the end to win his fifth Nationwide race this season and second in three years at Darlington Raceway on Friday night.
Kurt Busch wants to race an IndyCar at Indianapolis just not now.
The dangerous yet exciting brand of restrictor-plate racing that takes place at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway four times a year is a NASCAR paradox.
A pair of Davids slayed the Goliaths at Talladega Superspeedway.
On the final turn of the final lap, James Hinchcliffe finally saw an opening and made sure he squeezed into it.
In a wild and confusing finish that left the race winner in doubt, NASCAR awarded Regan Smith with a victory in Saturday's Nationwide Series race at Talladega Superspeedway.
Denny Hamlin ran 16 laps at full speed Friday, turned his car over to Brian Vickers and then didn't exactly rule himself out of running a full race this weekend as he recovers from a back injury.
When NBA player Jason Collins became the first openly gay active player in one of the four major U.S. pro sports leagues on Monday, it raised a question: Would fans accept a gay competitor in their sport?
It's been a season of bad breaks for Juan Pablo Montoya, so it was only fitting when things again didn't go his way.
When the dust settled at Richmond, 'Ol Happy Harvick was the only driver smiling.
Matt Kenseth didn't wait long to get his pole award back.
Jack Roush, who had been Matt Kenseth's car owner since he joined the Cup Series full-time in 2000, indicated the driver would be 'going to the dark side' when he agreed to join the rival Joe Gibbs-owned race team in 2013.
Matt Kenseth knew that he had a front-running car Sunday. It was simply a matter of getting there.
Takuma Sato became the first Japanese driver to win an IndyCar race on Sunday in the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.
Roger Penske maintained Saturday his team was working in a gray area of the rule book when NASCAR confiscated parts from the cars of defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski and teammate Joey Logano.

Trustees name lone finalist for superintendent position
From staff report
Garland ISD Trustees on Thursday, Jan. 24, named Dr. Bob Morrison lone finalist for the district's superintendent vacancy in a specially called meeting. Morrison, current superintendent for Mansfield ISD, is expected to assume the duties of GISD superintendent sometime after a state-mandated 21-day waiting period.
Morrison succeeds Dr. Curtis Culwell, who retired Dec. 21 after 14 years as GISD superintendent and 37 years in public education.
The selection of Morrison as sole finalist concludes a four-month search for Culwell's replacement. With the assistance of School Executive Consulting, the board garnered public input from community members as well as GISD staff to develop a wish list of qualities the district desired in a new superintendent.
As superintendent of Mansfield, Morrison has led many innovative developments such as the 1-on-1 iPad initiative for high school students and teachers, the MISD iPhone App launch, a districtwide strategic plan, and the development, construction, and completion of a 5,500-seat auditorium and teacher professional development center.
Morrison is one of 38 superintendents in Texas to serve the Future-Ready Superintendents Program and contributes to the ongoing Visioning Institute Document, "Creating a New Vision for Public Education in Texas." He is a member of many community service groups and serves as a board member for several, including the Fast Growth Coalition, Our Community Our Kids, Mansfield Chamber of Commerce, Mansfield Methodist Hospital Community Advisory, and the Arlington Salvation Army.
Morrison received his Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership from the University of Phoenix, his Superintendents Certificate from the University of Oklahoma, a Master of Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, and a Bachelor of Science in Education from Oklahoma Baptist University.
His wife is a high school counselor. The couple has three daughters.

Local school takes creative measures to improve education
Lamar Middle School highlights positive impact on student achievement for chance at $60,000
By Colleen Graves
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 5:48 PM CST
Flower Mound, TX -- Feb 6, 2013
-- While schools across the country grapple with changes in funding, implementing new curriculum standards, and how to use technology in classrooms, Lamar Middle School decided to take a creative approach to tell its success story. The school made a case for why it has the most innovative education program in the world and is now hoping it will be enough for a shot at thousands of dollars worth of products and services from a leading education company.
Lamar Middle School applied to the
Follett Challenge
, a program run by Follett to recognize and reward schools for their work applying technology, content and creativity in ways that engage students, foster literacy and promote critical thinking. Six winning schools will be awarded with the cash-equivalent of a total of $200,000 worth of products and services.
As part of the competition, Lamar Middle School created a short video about their program. The video is now posted on the Follett Challenge website for the public to vote for their favorite school. 30 percent of the school's total entry is determined by the number of votes its video receives.
Follett created the Follett Challenge to reward innovation in schools.
"There's a lot of change happening in education and many challenges with the economy," says Tom Schenck, the president of Follett School & Library Group. "We want to reward educators with innovative ideas who rise to the occasion through all the chaos using technology and new teaching techniques."
The public will vote until March 15 for the school with the best video overview about their library program. Lamar Middle School's submission is available on the
Follett Challenge
website under the "View Entries" tab at the following link
. Lamar's video highlights the library's transformation into a learning commons. The Lamar MS library's recent transformation into a learning commons is a disruptive innovation that aligns with our district's goals to improve education through strategic design. The revamped library includes a new layout, comfortable furniture and a re-organized computer lab to provide students a fresh, comfortable space that enhances learning.
After registering, users can cast one vote per day. The
Follett Challenge
winners will be notified by April 5, 2013. To cast your vote or learn more about the

Twill wrote:Bravo all of you!
a true milestone indeed. Gozar, special congrats to you for really bringing this to what it is - it is amazing. Sir ricco, I love the new limelight. Moose, best of luck to you wherever you end up. And Gilligan, I don't know how you have the patience for listing the tournaments but bravo!
You guys are a true asset to the community, I look forward to reading the next 52 editions!
Sir. Ricco wrote:Hello all American CC players,
Well, Thanksgiving is coming up, and we all know what that means. Food, football, and friends. We at the Newsletter would like to do something special for the Thanksgiving newsletter.
So, all you readers send us a short PM about what you are thankful for. Hopefully we can get a big responds from you. The newsletter staff and I will wade through and find our favorites. So send the PM to Sir. Ricco.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
Lately I've noticed that may you be an experienced organiser or newcomer in the amazing tournaments' world, there are things that are made according to following saying - why use the shortcut when you can go around. I've decided that I should share the experience that I've gathered when running my tournaments and hopefully it will become a dialogue between myself and readers of the newsletter. This is not meant only for organisers, I would also like to hear thoughts from players who have played in tens, maybe hundreds of tournaments but never run one. You have different views and perspective that might be hidden from myself and other playing organisers. Everybody, please contact amazzony with your questions, problems, ideas and thoughts!
Today I've decided to concentrate on Inbox. Optimus Prime has made a great job with a small guide that locates in Q&A subforum of General Discussion: Powers of the Inbox: How-To. Though a lot is explained in there then I would like to bring out a few things.
- First and most important thing for TOs is the improvement that came with new forums awhile ago - chance to send a PM to many people at once. It's a blessing I tell you. I'm sure we have readers who don't remember the times when you could send message only to one person. Of course, it never stopped crazy people from running big tournaments but I'm very thankful (and there are surely others) that I can send one message to hundreds of players at once. It has opened new doors to updating tournaments, sending out games and pushing the limits to bigger and more complex tournaments.
- Every saved second is a second that can be used in improving the tournament, I like to think. I've lately discovered that there's a cool button "Compose message". So, when you are sending several messages in a row then you don't have to return to Inbox and click "NEWPM" but you can save a click or two time to time. Might not seem much but when you are sending hundreds/thousands of messages then it saves you just a bit of time and I've found it quite handy.
- Last but not least, a quick explanation what's the difference between "Add" and "Add [BCC]" buttons. When you use "Add" then everybody can see who the message has been sent. If you push "Add [BCC]" button then you won't share with others who else has got the same message. It's good to know when sending tournament invites or other messages that include tens or hundreds of names.
Have fun in discovering your Inbox and its possibilities! Don't forget to send me what you've discovered and what should be shared with the others in newsletter. In next issue we'll look a bit more into Inbox and if there are any questions by you then I'll find answers to them.
Wishing you happy messaging,
News Hound wrote:Hey oaktown
oaktown wrote:Hey back at ya... glad to be of service.
News Hound wrote:What is the purpose of the foundry competition?
oaktown wrote:Most of us wouldn't be here on Conquer Club if we didn't have a healthy competitive side to our personalities, so bringing some friendly competition into the Foundry is a good thing. And since past competitions have been won by Foundry regulars, we wanted to get a competition going that would bring in new blood. Just as we were ready to announce it we were given the thumbs-up for a Centerscape revamp, so it seemed like fun to run side-by-side competitions - one for the Foundry veterans, and one for new mapmakers.
News Hound wrote:How will this benefit the tournaments forum?
oaktown wrote:New maps! You tournament guys are so busy (read: popular) that you have to be running out of ideas. We'll end up with a brand spanking new map of Central America, and a Centerscape replacement that doesn't look like balls. Plus, I suspect that even the losers of this competition will be able to use elements of their designs in future work; our last revamp competition produced some beautiful work, and the ideas that came out of that competition will result in more than just an update of the Brazil map.
News Hound wrote:Can anyone get involved?
oaktown wrote:Absolutely, and by setting up one competition that is not open to our veteran mapmakers we are hoping it ill be more attractive to novices. Even if you've never wandered into the Foundry you'll be on even footing with your competition. That said, I'm certain we're still going to see some very high quality work - there are a lot of Photoshop junkies out there, and the bits and pieces that I've seen so far look quite good.
News Hound wrote:If there was one piece of advice you could give to amateur mapmakers, what would it be?
oaktown wrote:Ugh, only one? I guess it would be to keep your eyes on the prize. Most mapmakers will agree that the first project is a lot more work than they'd ever imagined. If you're serious about making a map you'll get it done, and we're there to help you, but you need to go into this with the understanding that you aren't going to be able to whip up a ready-to-play map in an hour or two using the Paint application that came with Windows. Oh, and my second piece of advice would be not to use that Paint application that came with Windows. We recently had a good discussion as to why in the Foundry.
News Hound wrote:As a person who has had a map quenched, how does it feel when you see people making tournaments out of your map?
oaktown wrote:I'm routinely shocked to see that the map that I put together two years ago (which is by no means my best) still has over 100 active games being played on it - and even more surprised to see it being used for the occasional tournament! It's a good feeling to create something that becomes a part of the site, especially at a site like CC where the expectation and standards are pretty high.
Now, if I could win some of those tournaments I'd like it even more.
News Hound wrote:Thankyou for your time
oaktown wrote:My pleasure, and I'm looking forward to seeing your competition entry, samuelc.
This time, amazzony's tournament advice will be short because I was hoping to get some feedback and questions from readers but it seems that everybody either know their inbox really well or don't understand at all so no questions came. I would like to say that this part of the newsletter is mostly to help organisers and players to understand and learn some aspects of the site and other things that are related to tournament organising. I won't be giving hints how to win tournaments because for that there are way better people like BaldAdonis, Godd and killmanic who are in the top of winning tournaments.
As promised in last issue, we'll look a bit more into inbox and this time I would like to turn your attention to messaging etiquette. I'm not sure it's the best word for the following but it's the best I could find.
- First thing, after deciding who to message, is to write a subject. For that, I would recommend not to use Hey or Hello but something more specific about what the message is about. It's especially important when messaging people who get many PMs a day and might not have enough time to read them always (people like myself ). If you are writing about a tournament then always include the tournament name in the title and after it you can write more specifically what your message is about (in brackets for example). Add "results", "question", "mistake" etc.
- Secondly, after subject, you'll write your question or problem or whatever is on your mind. There's not much to follow in there IMO, just make sure that you make yourself understandable. Though, I have a few suggestions. When you are writing about some certain game, make sure that you add the game number. If you are having trouble with some certain player, make sure to add the player name (correctly written). Little things like that can save a lot of time.
It seems that this is it for today. If you have any comments or questions about Inbox and how I presented it then don't hesitate and contact me. Next week we'll be looking more closely to BBCode and tags, if you are interested in something specific then let me know about it.
Happy messaging and cya next week in Amazzony's Advice!
Bones2484 wrote:All of the above tournaments are announced for 2500+ only. This probably eliminated close to 90-95% of the players who play tournaments. Sure I may be whining because I don't qualify myself at this point in time... but I am of the opinion that ALL tournaments should be made available to every player on the site.
If anything, these elitist games can be ran by PM or in the callouts forum. Trying to pass these off as "tournaments" are a complete joke. This blatant discrimination and conceited attitude has already ruined most aspects of this site, and I don't want to see it ruin the only thing I am still on CC for… Tournaments.
Timminz wrote:I don't see a problem with point restrictions on entry, as long as there is an equal tournament being offered for all the other ranks. Something like the "League of...." tournaments that are going on now. But, to offer half a dozen tournaments that are only open to the top 250 (or so) players is just elitist *expletive*. The tournament forum is not the place for it.
Blitzaholic wrote: As I discussed in length with some in here on these 2500+ tournaments, this will be my last batch, several liked them and wanted more, I thought I was sparking cc by trying to get more involved in tournaments as many high ranks don't, but many started to come around after I invited some. Again, I have no problem not making anymore of these after these are done if that makes all happy.… and the reason many don't play them is because they lose a ton of points! why do 90% of the people that win tournaments feel good when the top 10% in scores are never in them, do you feel like you really competed against the best players on the site? cause you have not….I guarantee you that of the top 300 players on the scoreboard, they are 90% of the best players on this site.
Optimus Prime wrote: Blitz, you are blind if you think that those players in the Top 300 are the best "all around" players this site has to offer. I would venture to guess that a majority of them got to that point specializing in one type of game play, and doing that does not mean that they are the best.
Until all of you up there on the first page of the scoreboard start showing up for any and all tournaments regardless of player score or style of play, I will continue to believe you do not have what it takes to truly play in them. You cannot claim to be the best if you aren't willing to play others who truly are the best at their craft.

PLEASE avoid sending out massive PMs using the "Add" button when you are sending out invitations to your tournaments or sending out the games. It gets VERY annoying to those people who have to keep receiving your replies due to the new "Reply to All" function.
Until things are fixed or cleaned up, please add the long list of players using the "Add [BCC]" button. This will keep everyone who receives the PM from receiving subsequent replies. Thanks.

It's been a few weeks now since I've given some advice but now I'll mix something together to all the organisers and players out there in hope that everybody will find something useful. If not from this issue then perhaps in the previous ones or maybe in the future.
- Firstly I'd like to mention one more thing about messaging and this goes fully to tournament organisers. Biggest mistake that I've seen in messages is that organiser either says that take a look at scoreboard or please post results to tournament thread but... why aren't you adding the link to tournament thread then? It's just a few extra clicks but make players check your thread and make things a lot comfortable for your players (and to you if you wish people to post results).
- Now, lets move on to BBCode. You can read all about it when you follow this link which also locates under smileys when you type a message and it is under "BBCode is ON/OFF". A lot is explained in there - how to make bold, italic and underlined text, how to add colors and change size and how to mix it all. Quoting, code and list is also explained in there. Finally, linking and putting pictures to forums is also in the guide. In some future issue I will talk more about how to manage images and in next issue I will talk more about some tags.
If you have any questions or comments on today's topics then please let me know. Cya next time!

In the The Centerscape Invitational the pro map-makers have produced some lovely work but it is the amateur Central America Amateur Open where I have been most impressed. In my opinion I would have to say that the quality of maps produced by the amateurs have easily outweighed the pros. Hopefully the amateurs stick around and become the next generation of pro map-makers.
This is definetly one of the best competitions the foundry has ever run. Special mention goes to oaktown who put the hard work in that made this fantastic competition possible.
Merry Christmas,
As promised, this time we will look more closely into some tags that I'm using and find very useful both to myself and to players who play in my tournaments. Before I get to specific tags, I would like to write a few words how to put the tags into your message/post the most easy way. For some of you it may be simple but I think that explaining it won't hurt.
- To add tags, may it be color, size or anything else, you have 2 possibilities. First possibility is to enter the tag(s) and then type your text between them. Another possibility is to write the text first, then highlight/select what you wish to put between tags and then press the tag button.
- First I would like to introduce you the most common one used in tournament forums. I'm sure that many players and organisers are very grateful for this one.
- It's game-tag and looks like this: [Game][/Game]
- This is an easy way to get to games fast. Putting game number between the tags makes a simple shortcut to the game so players could enter it and organisers check the results fast. Are you a player looking to post results or an organiser sending out games, this is the tag that you should always use.
- How to use it. To get this: Game 123456; type this:
- Code: Select all
- An upgrade to game-tag is to-tag and it looks like this: [to][/to]
- This is meant for organisers who wish to put an extra effort into sending out games. I personally don't use it because it's not in the "tag-strip" so I have to type it every time I wish to use. Secondly I think that if people first see the game they are joining then it might help to avoid joining wrong-setting games. So, I just don't find it comfortable enough to use but I understand completely people who wish to use it and I encourage to test it out to see if it's suitable for you.
- How to use it. To get this: View Game 123456 (Auto-Join Game); type this:
- Code: Select all
[to]123456 password[/to]
Of course, "PASSWORD" needs to be replaced with the actual password of the specific game.- Last tag that I will introduce is spoiler and it looks like this:
- Code: Select all
- I think the main purpose of this is to avoid awfully long posts so loading and scrolling wouldn't take forever. How you wish to use it is up to you and your imagination. I'm personally using it to keep a long schedule short in here (scroll down after scoreboard). To see/hide what's hidden behind spoiler, just click show/hide.
- How to use it. To get this: type this:
- Code: Select all
[spoiler]Guess who hid in here? Nobody :D[/spoiler]
You can also "name" your spoilers like this:
- Code: Select all
[spoiler="schedule"]Guess who hid in here? Nobody :D[/spoiler]
That's it for this time. Please send me your questions, comments, feedback and complaints. May it be a simple sentence like "keep it up" or "enough of the crap, we don't need it". We can put it into newspaper under your name or anonymous or just answer the things by private message if you wish.
Waiting for your messages, full of BBCode!

On behalf of Night Strike, Natewolfman, and Gilligan, I would like to wish all of you a safe and Merry Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, or whichever holiday you celebrate.
The holiday season is a time to celebrate and give thanks for those things that mean the most to you and share them with friends and family.
One of the things the Tournament Staff is thankful for is that we have a world-wide extended family all connected by one thing...the love of creating and playing in Tournaments that everyone can partake in and enjoy.
I wish each of you a safe and prosperous New Year.
WidowMakers wrote:Hey everyone,
Let me explain a little bit about how this map collection idea came about. I started playing some tournaments a while back and I really enjoy it. The time that the organizers spend is huge and the style, types and organization of each tournament allows for many different play styles for many different players. So thanks to all of the organizers and all they do.
This now brings me to the point of the new maps. I wanted to make a map collection that could be the focus of many different tournaments in the future. So I was thinking "what could I make that would fill this desire?" I looked over the maps we already have on CC and found it, the USA map.
The USA map has 6 bonus regions (West, Rockies, S. West, S. East, Great Lakes, New England) representing 48 of the 50 sates. I had the idea that each bonus region could be developed into its own map thus having a total of 6 maps. So the entire map set would be a total of 7 (these 6 region maps and the original USA map)

And because of this, i will no longer be able to honour my commitment to this newsletter, i know the News Hound job has never been one that could be sustained for too long. Happy 2009 all
Kind Regards,
Hey, again! This time I first have to start with an apology because a lot later I noticed I made a mistake in the spoiler section. To name your spoiler, it goes like this:
- How to use it. You can also "name" your spoilers like this:
- Code: Select all
[spoiler=schedule]Guess who hid in here? Nobody :D[/spoiler]
Now lets move on to today's topic which is images and how to put them to forums. This is used to make scoreboards. I'm going to give you step by step introduction how I make my image scoreboards. I'm sure there are other ways and programs to that can be used but I'll give you my point of view.
- Making scoreboard. For that I use excel. Those who don't have Microsoft Office can get free programs from internet (for example, OpenOffice).
- Making image. When scoreboard is made then I need to make it as image. I use IrfanView for it because it's simple and easy but at the same time gives different options. You can also use Paint of whatever else program that lets you save images.
- Getting scoreboard to image. Select everything in excel that you want to be in the image and copy it. Then save it as GIF extension (unless you have a picture or something that needs better quality, then use JPG).
- Uploading a picture. If you understood my instruction correctly then you have a picture in your computer now (if you didn't then don't hesitate to message me and ask better ones). To get the picture to forums, you must upload it to some site that hosts pictures. I'm using www.photobucket.com. When using that site make sure that your "image max size default" would be 1 megabyte (it can be changed under options).
- Posting to the forums. Now there's just one more step ahead. Copy your image link from photobucket. Either Direct link which means you have to add image or bigimage tag in forums. Or IMG Code which means you already have image tags and you don't have to add them in CC forums. Just copy one of them and in the end, when you want image posted in the forums it has to look like this:
- Code: Select all
[img]DIRECT IMAGE LINK[/img]
- Code: Select all
[BigImg]DIRECT IMAGE LINK[/BigImg]
Next time we'll look closer to some other ways how to post scoreboards. A bit late but nevertheless...
Have a Happy New Year!
Steelhorse wrote:A Warm Welcome to Gilligan and Natewolfman, our 2 newest Tournament Directors.
As most of you know, Nate and Gill have been working as Tourney Elves for quite some time and have done a stellar job. Both have devoted many hours to improving the Tournaments Forum and assisting myself, Night Strike, and Optimus with the day-to-day operations and logistics.
When it came time to look for help in the form of new Tournament Directors, it was fairly obvious ,to all involved, who would be the best choices at this time. These two have certainly paid their dues and proven their value to the Tournaments Forum and to the CC community at large.
So, with that I'd like to formally announce our 2 newest Tournament Directors, Gilligan and Natewolfman.
I thank you both for your past and continuing efforts in making CC the best gaming site on the net.
Natewolfman wrote:I am glad to be a part of Team CC, and especially a part of the Tournament Directors. Tournaments have been my main thing on CC since I stumbled onto the forums, and I am glad I have been a positive influence, and hopefully this can translate into my new job. If anyone ever needs help or has questions, I will do my best to help you, or find the person who can. Thanks CC.
Gilligan wrote:Hola tournament fans,
I'd just like to say thanks to all of you who keep this forum running. Without all of the organizers and players, this forum would not be what it is today, so hats off to you guys.
Now that I just became a Tournament Director, I can personally help you with more things, such as privileges and medals. I've done organizing for over two years, so this is a big thing for me to do what I love and to share it with those who do as well. Thanks guys.
To abandon Newsletter at this time is making my heart bleed but I'm not capable of doing my advice columns as well as it deserves to be done. So, I'm leaving Tournament Newsletter for awhile, in hope to return some day with more inspiration, better ideas and smarter advice.
Keep reading the Newsletter and appreciate the work that is done to bring it to you!
copy and paste ftw!Well all the tournaments I saw usually had a high ranked member as the winner. so I figured it would be fair to make one for newer ranks (cooks and below) to give them a good shot at a victory, thus came my "Battle of the N00bs" franchise.
I should stop doing that lolI usually like the options to be voted on, I like that freedom to be there. the only exception is in the Tour de France, I did that because playing that on say the Asia map would be just plain dumb

So, I read the mixed reviews here and elsewhere, and got the chair as part of the "BusinessStarter" package. If you're a 5'4 - 5'7 massage therapist, this won't be a problem, but it's almost impossible for a 6' male therapist to use this chair with proper body alignment. It's also a bit short for most men. Haven't had the issues with the stripped screws or bad velcro, but I can sure see it happening in the future. That being said for personal use, or for limited use (occasional onsite chair work) it's not bad. But I'd spend the money elsewhere if you plan on making regular use of it.
Dont waste your money! Extremely cheap product!Velcro rides and now my screw is stripped! Buyer Beware!!!
Doesn't easily adjust for varying heights, which is needed if your doing several chair massages back to back. If you've had a chance to check out a quality massage chair this just screams C-H-E-A-P - not the impression you want to give clients.
Vinyl deteriorated quickly leaving "sticky" spots despite folllowing mfr's cleaning suggestions. Also the velcro beneath the set screw "rides" the frame preventing adjustment of face cradle without modification. Cheap!!! You get what you pay for.
velcro pushed itself up the frame eventually preventing adjustment of the chestplate/facerest.I had to remove the velcro and now the setscrew is slowly wearing through the frame. I have only used this chair maybe 200 times and wish I had spent more on a name brand The old adage you get what you pay for definitely applies here.
This chair isn't bad until it starts falling apart. You get what you pay for when it comes to massage chairs. I have had a few of these and they both had different problems which required either a repair, or rendered it useless. I'd save up for a better chair.

It's all systems go for 'Dividends', the Second Aman ki Asha Indo-Pak Economic Conference, Lahore, May 7-8, 2012
Taking forward the 'trade for peace' agenda initiated with its groundbreaking Indo-Pak business conference in May 2010, Aman ki Asha is organising 'Dividends', the Second Indo-Pak Economic Conference in Lahore, on May 7-8, 2012 in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and the Pakistan Business Council (PBC).On April 18, 2012, the CII and PBC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Aman ki Asha, Jang Group and Times of India, agreeing to host annual conferences alternately in India and Pakistan. The forthcoming conference in Lahore will be the first under this partnership.
The first meeting in May 2010 brought together some 250 Indian and 60 Pakistani businessmen and women whose joint statement highlighted achievable objectives and identified six sectors with the highest potential for mutual cooperation: Textiles, Information Technology (IT), Agriculture, althcare, Energy and Education.
They had urged both governments to ease visa restrictions, especially for the business community and to lift the ban on cell-phone roaming between India and Pakistan.
Business visas are being relaxed, but delegates will not be able to use their Indian mobile phones in Pakistan, unless the governments lift that restriction prior to the meeting in Lahore that starts on May 7, 2012.
At the last Indo-Pak Business Meet two years ago, Indian finance minister Pranab Mukherjee delivered the inaugural address and Pakistan's High Commissioner to India, Shahid Malik, was among the luminaries who attended the event and stayed till the very end, leaving with positive feedback.
The forthcoming 'Dividends' conference is expected to be even more high-powered than the previous one, with three federal ministers addressing the gathering, Finance Minister Dr Hafeez Sheikh, Hina Rabbani Khar, Foreign Minister of Pakistan, and Makhdoom Amin Faheem, Federal Minister of Commerce. Keynote speakers include Razzak Dawood, Chairman Descon, Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman Hero Corporate Services and Indian parliamentarian Mani Shankar Aiyer.
Other prominent personalities expected to make presentations and participate in discussions include Indian High Commissioner Sharat Shabarwal, CII President Adi Godjrej, Rakesh Bharti Mittal, MD of Bharti Enterprise Ltd, Vikram S. Mehta, Chairman Shell Group India, Mian Muhammad Mansha, Chairman MCB Bank, Mohan Kaul, Co-Chair, Commonwealth Business Forum, Jehangir Siddiqui, JS Group, Zakir Mahmood, President Habib Bank Limited, and Bashir Ali Muhammad, Chairman Gul Ahmed Textiles.

These are just as good and sometimes even worse, if that is possible.
(On a personal note, I guess we're calling them 'glamour shots' now, because since we started the regular feature, a lot of other sports sites have started posting galleries and calling them that. And, uh, sending them to With Leather as a "tip." Thanks for the tip, other guys!)
Please click through to enjoy 31 of our favorite WCW, TNA Impact Wrestling and WWE glamour shots. If you need to be coerced, there's a photo of a guy playing a WWF logo guitar in here somewhere.

it is a nice idea. I am not using Windows 8 atm. But I have a licence question:
2 PCs 3 US-$
What about Virtual Machines (eg Over VirtualBox)?
Some Suggestions:
Would it be possible to make the taskbar and Start Button changeable for Users to 7like, Vistalike or XPlike?
Means: Account: User1 likes 7 and User2 likes Vista Look.

I just re-confirmed it with 2.0.2.
Did you use Outlook 2013 (I can't confirm for any earlier version)? If so, what kind of mail account did you use to test with? I'm testing with POP3, and it's a total wipeout with your start screen uncluttering feature enabled: no toast, no notification sound. The mail just magically appears. At least you see the new mail symbol in Outlook's taskbar icon, otherwise it would be impossible to know if mail came in.

I Agree as well, great addition to Win 8.. On a side note I work in a retirement community and one of my customers had me do a set-up on their new computer, Of course when I finished they both asked me "Where is the Start button and all my programs?" and were also upset that the salesperson at Best Buy also failed to mention this as well, So having already anticipating just such an issue, I went ahead and installed SIB and configured all the programs along with installing all the windows 7 games back in needless to say they were overjoyed and life was good again!

Local clamming: A way of life fc J '^is'^^si^ss;mm^^mm^sii^iMm0^^^0s^0i^iffm^iM^^mm This is the first article in a series examining the role bay clams play in the local economy. by Douglas Finlay We set out in the late-morning light, Mike Rossi and I, an overcast day in which the clouds would, ultimately, maintain their composure. The waters were calm, almost serene, as we slowly rounded the northeast bend of Baldwin Bay on Our way east out to see for ourselves just what lurks beneath the sheen of the water's silvery-blue surface: fields of green. These fields of green have names to be sure, such as Trump's Hole, L-Y Bay and Egg Island, but what makes them green is their propensity to grow the clams that are an engine helping power the local South Shore economy, from the clammers that dig them to the retailers that sell them to the restaurants that turn them into delightful cuisine for Long Islanders. Indeed, clammers, or shellfisher-men as they prefer to be called, earn anywhere from 12 cents to 25 cents and more per clam from fish retailers and wholesalers, and restaurants, depending on the size of the clam. The biggest clam is the chowder clam, which earns the least, followed closely by the cherrystone, the top neck and then the little neck, with the little neck fetching the highest price because of its desired smaller size to restaurateurs in presenting a dish. With anywhere from 200 to 500 clams placed in a bushel basket because of varying sizes encountered when shellfishing, a decent day's wage after harvesting for 12 hours might be between $150 to $200. "Part-timers like myself will take a leisurely approach when shellfishing, so will average about $80 per day," said Mr. Rossi, vice-president of the Hempstead Shellfisherman's Association, which supplies several restaurants, retailers and wholesalers on Nassau's South Shore with shellfish. Mr. Rossi recalls a particularly good day several years ago before limits were put on the amount of bushels that could be taken from the bay per day, earning some $800. Conversely, restaurants on main streets and along canals will increase their earnings anywhere from between 5 and 25 percent when offering clam dishes and appetizers, such as clams casino; clams-on-the-half shell; stuffed clams; or linguini with clam sauce. Or, said another way, overall sales can be impacted anywhere from between 5 percent to 25 percent when clams are not available from the bays.

April 13, 2010By Darla Martin TuckerRIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.lasierra.edu) The verdict is in. State education systems in Delaware and Tennessee are the first-phase winners of a new, highly competitive federal grant program and will respectively receive $100 million and $500 million to help renovate their programs and improve student performance. The much-discussed, two-part $4.35 billion Race to the Top grant program, administered by the U.S. Dept. of Education, includes requirements that school districts find ways of improving the effectiveness of their teachers. While columnists and pundits discuss the implications of this new and rigorous education reform effort, Sandra Balli, La Sierra University associate professor of curriculum and instruction, cuts to the heart of the matter in her book about what makes an excellent teacher.Rowman & Littlefield Education, a subsidiary of The Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group Inc. in Maryland, published Ballis 180-page volume in April 2009. The book is titled Making a Difference in the Classroom: Strategies that Connect with Students. Through touching and sometimes humorous student anecdotes, the work details the makeup of exemplary teachers. Balli based her writing on the qualitative analysis of essays completed by 148 students at a Midwestern university several years ago. Balli asked the students to write about an episode from their elementary, high school or early college years describing how a teacher in their academic experience demonstrated excellence. She transcribed the information from the essays into NVivo, a qualitative research software system. The analysis turned up four key ideas underlying the essence of excellence: excellent teachers permeate the classroom with energy and joy and refuse to take irritations too personally or themselves too seriously; excellent teachers are caring and nourish students unconditionally, including those who dont reciprocate; excellent teachers are responsible and steadfast in lesson preparation they dont wing it; excellent teachers are serious about learning, have high expectations for all students and believe all students can learn, traveling in the trenches with each student in the process.These were students who wanted to be teachers, said Balli of the students who wrote the essays. My interest in teaching excellence was from the perspective of the students, so I was looking for the qualities and instructional strategies that make a teacher excellent. I was not so much looking for the popular teachers, but for teachers who really impacted student learning and their potential.The students responses depicted teachers from every grade level through early college and in every subject area, Balli said.Her book covers the full gamut of issues teachers face daily in the classroom, with 13 chapters on such topics as Respect, Teacher-Student Friendships, Teaching Styles, and Classroom Management.In a chapter titled Learning Activities a student named Tiffany described her teachers intelligence and organizational skills as the least among her positive attributes. The teachers most impressive quality was her creativity, the student said. She varied her teaching methods so we didnt get bored. We acted out plays, we did group projects, and she brought in interesting guest speakers.Many students will name recess as their favorite school activity because it is activity that dominates the terrain of the playground, Balli writes in the chapter. Students have a valid point about long, dragging class periods choked with remedial, passive seat work. In such classes, students become like coiled springs waiting for the signal to bolt. When teachers get active with the curriculum, the dynamics of learning fundamentally change.The chapter on High Expectations includes a vignette from a student named Jade who wrote her former chemistry teacher was the teacher everyone hated, including me. It wasnt until college that I grew to appreciate and respect her. She accepted no excuse for less than our best. She had high expectations for every student .She patiently re-taught material when needed and remained available for extra help.Students views of past failures are a strong predictor of future success, writes Balli in the same chapter. Teachers can question students about the reasons they believe they failed at a particular task. Teachers can then use the information the help the student focus on different study strategies or ways of thinking rather than attributing the failure to a perceived lack of ability. Teachers have at their disposal, clear cut pathways along the journey toward excellence, Balli writes. Among them are conferring with trusted colleagues who also strive, journaling at the end of a teaching day, reading the collective wisdom of research and practice, participating in the community, attending meaningful conferences, and amending classroom strategies In a chapter titled Not Like Some Teachers, Balli writes that society expects teachers to prepare report cards, administer discipline, organize learning materials and produce other tangible results. But for students, teaching is more than working out the mechanical elements of a job description; those teachers who are extraordinary rather than ordinary, occupy a prime place in students memories. Teachers should avoid acting as if they know all the facts when they dont, should admit mistakes and avoid barraging students with a litany of colorless facts, Balli writes.She concludes that the pursuit of excellence is a journey with a destination but no final stopping point. The book contains a four-page foreword by David C. Berliner, Regents Professor at the Mary Lou Fulton College of Education, Arizona State University. Berliner, an acclaimed author and educational psychologist, likens Ballis views to those of John Dewey. Deweyand now Ballireminds us that school should not be thought of as preparation for life, but is, in fact, life itself, Berliner writes. I think that Sandy Balli has nailed it. Her advice and tutorials are compatible with the research on teacher expertise but much more vivid and lively because she knows classroom life so well.
