Groups of males (if you could even call them that - fucking pussy bastards) that hang in packs ( very similar to animals) that have the same dresscode and general appearance. This consists of the latest sportswear (track bottoms, football tops and of course their glorious 'nike air max'). They wear the biggest coin rings they can find (Im surprised they havent painted hubcabs gold yet and wear them on their hands). They have very badly shaven heads and barcodes on their upper lip.
Usually a smick/spide is called the likes of "Janty", "Aidso", "Anto", "Fra", "Cricky", "Dermy" or you can take their surname and fuck it around too, just to make them be "sweet as". In their native Belfastian dialogue, the word 'Like' will follow nearly every second word or at the end of a sentence. Hobbies and interests include "Fockin' der bitches" (millies), "Spinnin' tha wheeels" (of their bmx cos they cant score a corsa off their ma). "Havin' a swall" is another past time where they pluck up the courage to venture into off liscences to buy "Shum doubelya kay dee bloo like" but if they get "knacked back like" (for looking like complete twats) they ask other members of the public to cooperate with them in their hour of need. If you dont you'll "get yer baallix knacked in like" Spides are generally slow witted, are morons and leech off the government and their "ma's" until they are in their late twenties. Arch Enemies to the local spide communties would be the "huppies" because they are different. "Huppies listen to rock music and wear band tops (which can be quite annoying seeing most of them havent a clue about the band and have only heard one song and by the way KORN ARE SHITE, METALLICA RULE), spides listen to trance music or "beatz" as they call it and make the pilgrimmage to "Godskitchin like" twice a year to pop a couple of E's and listen to their fav musicians, (like dj-ing really involves talent...yeah right) Spides will steal anything and everything, including their mothers own tv just to get money "fer swall" or "drugz" because they are the scum of the earth and another thing ALL HOODS SHOULD BE SHOT - FUCKING MAGGOT CUNT BASTARDS Kevin: I dont like the look of that lot
Mark: Aye, those spidey bastards would steal the shoes from your feet if you were sitting down Kevin: Scumbag government leeching cunts |

Native to Belfast, but variations are found throughout the UK under different guises. (e.g, Glasgow/Edinburgh - Neds, Liverpool - Scallies) Spides have a general dress code. This consists of a tracksuit, baseball cap and brilliant white trainors. This uniform is often complimented with a few sovereign rings and the biggest necklace they can afford. A spide can often be found in estates or on some occasions in public. It is when they enter into civilisation that a spide is at it's most dangerous, often hunting in packs for people they don't like the look off. These groups include rival spide groupings, students, 'hippies', ethnic minorities and the elderly. It is advisable to avoid spides as they can get quite aggressive when confronted with reason. In their native habitat of the 'estate', spides like nothing better than drinking 'carry-outs' and fertilising millies. Often cheat the benefits system The dole office was full of spides many of whom had little tashes. Janty was there too.

spides...a plague upon man. Native to "norn iron" (n.ireland), they speak a corrupted form of english. Kitted out in garish shellsuits, huge medallions and baseball caps, these skinheaded monstrosities venture from their estates in packs to descend upon civilisation, ready to "bate thaw sheet outta wenkers." Intoxicated by a mixture of "wheet 'lightnin" cider and trance anthems, they hit dangerous speeds in their souped-up red corsas before comitting minor crimes. They speak a language incomprehensible to normal humans;for example "e waant a makkie dees burger wi' nay shay" or,in english; "i want a macdonalds burger with no relish please." It is paradigmatic of all steeks to have mindlessly violent sectarian opinions; the troubles in n. Ireland were caused by spides, and their estates are daubed with paramilitary propaganda such as "red hand commandos" or "up the provos".English hip-hop hoods think they are tough, but where i'm from, the spides eat Ali G wannabes for breakfast and wash it down with a pint of gravel. beware. an archetypal spide's day consists of;
1. Get up. Swear. 2. breakfast; beans in a cup+ cider. 3. Don't go to work/school. Hang out "with tha lads" 4. watch the footy. 5. Evening at last. Gather your posse and find a student/fruit/hippie/o.a.p and "bate tha fock" out of them 6. One the crime spree is over, get in souped up corsa , turn on dance music and spit out the window. 7. go home. |

Another way of describing the scummy bastards who hang around the street corners of belfast with plastic bags full of glue up their sleeves. They would steal the teeth from your head to fuel their sad little existences. Dresscode = tracksuits, sovereigns + piss-stains. One of gods worst creations after cancer. Look at that spidey bastard in his suped up shitmobile. Just because it makes alot of noise, has no fear stickers, neon lights and alloys doesn't mean its a car. And by the way, stop throwing fireworks you annoying little cunt.

-shaven head, yet still smeared with excessive amounts of cheap hair gel which should be used to 'glue' each individual strand of the 'fringe' to the forehead. tips of hair should also be bleached. -greasy, dirty skin, acne, wax ridden ears and unwiped nostrils. the spides standing (chance of pulling a millie) is increased if they posses a broken nose/ hideous scars. -having as much facial hair as possible for a 13 year old, this is known as the 'bar code tash' (fluffy hair on upper lip). Attire: -baseball cap worn at 45 degree angle -white jumper with hood, -either white/blue tracksuit bottoms or cheap jeans with bottoms turned up -florescent trainers or 'cat boots' -thickest, goldest and cheapest rings, ear rings and necklaces. Education: -none Transport: -Anything they can steal -a vauxhall nova/corsa, 'souped up da fuck' occupation: -steal -drugs -paramilitary work -'stroke' from the government oh shite we're about to get the shit kicked out of us by those spides

A northern irish townie.
Name comes from the spider tattoos worn by working class men (& women), ex-cons etc. Originally called spider men shorten to spide. Spides go out with millies/millbags look at the hack of those spides in their bad tracksuits and knocked off trainers, and wanky baseball hats!
7. | spide | ||
"It is advisable to avoid spides as they can get quite aggressive when confronted with reason. " never have truer words been spoken. what they also should have said is "millies fuck anything with a pulse and an adidas watch".
millies are the female spide. spides are like the chavs in Northern ireland. utterly pathetic, travelling in large groups to make sure they dont get "bate" usually living life on the dole, and the worst part, picking fights with random people for no other reason than you are there. Racist,sectarian,pathetic... the scum of the Earth and the bottom of the barrel in the evolutionary ladder. spides make sure they say "fock" and "leek" in every sentence.

Automakers began rolling out heavy artillery in the infotainment war, as the Ford Motor Company and General Motors introduced on Monday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas open platform software kits that would enable developers to create applications for use in vehicles.
Ford's system is geared to its existing Sync AppLink system that links smartphones to the on-board infotainment system. What's new is the opportunity for anyone to create an app using Ford's software development kit. If you have an idea for an in-car application, you can codify it and submit it to Ford for approval. If approved, Ford will work with the developer to provide a distribution license so the app can be submitted to a seller.
G.M., on the other hand, will begin offering its new connectivity system in late 2013 on certain 2014 models. The system was developed in partnership with Panasonic. Like Ford, G.M. has created an open-platform software development kit that will allow anyone to create an application. The automaker demonstrated its development software on Saturday and Sunday in Las Vegas. It held an event that drew more than 400 would-be software developers, who worked on applications using the new toolkit. On Sunday afternoon, developers had 90 seconds each to present their apps. Steve Schwinke, G.M.'s director for app development, said in a telephone interview that 20 feasible creations were shown.
G.M.'s system will encompass apps that run in the car, independent of a smartphone and on the phone, via a Bluetooth link. Ford's system is limited to apps running on the phone, also with a Bluetooth connection. Alan Hall, a Ford spokesman, said in a telephone interview that by linking to the phone for all apps, they could take advantage of advances in smartphone development.
The big difference between Ford's and G.M.'s utilization of in-car applications may be the interface. While Ford's AppLink system relies on voice commands, the G.M.system will use touch-screen controls. When asked why G.M. hasn't opted for voice activation, which is arguably less distracting for the driver, Mr. Schwinke said, "It's part of this journey. I think there's enough opportunity right now with what we can do."
Asked if the system might contribute to driver distraction, Mr. Schwinke said, "I drive on the same roads you drive on and my kids drive on those same roads, so we don't want to create something that would cause distraction."
Neither system will allow drivers to play Angry Birds on a heads-up windscreen display. All applications developed for in-car use will have to be approved by the automakers before they can be made available.
Mr. Hall of Ford said integrating smartphone applications with the vehicle could make for a less distracting driving environment in that many drivers are now using smartphone apps in the car and picking up the phone. With a variety of useful apps accessible by voice command, they would be less inclined to do so.
"Our focus is to enhance the driving experience by minimizing the distractions caused by hand-held usage of smartphones while driving," Julius Marchwicki, Ford's AppLink program manger, said in a media release.
Mr. Schwinke of G.M. said, "Some people want connectivity. If we can make it so they won't reach for the phone when driving, that's a plus."
Both automakers promoted partnerships they had forged. Ford mentioned The Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Kaliki, Amazon Cloud Player and Rhapsody. G.M. cited iHeart Radio, Tunein, Slacker and the Weather Channel. Some of these Ford apps will be available immediately in Ford and Lincoln vehicles with AppLink.
Neither automaker said that its in-car app system would comply with the voluntary guidelines published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in February 2012. The guidelines call for disabling functions like text messaging and Internet browsing while driving and suggest that any control requiring driver interaction be limited to less than six steps.

This is the best fitting mask I have ever owned. My face is narrow and hard to fit, but this mask gives me a leak free fit and I wear it virtually every day. Since it fits well, I can wear the strap much more less tight than previous masks, which helps me stay comfortable, even when in the water for long periods of time.The dark sides keep light from coming in around the sides(which lets your pupils open up), helping you to be able to see better underwater. The lenses sit close to your face, giving you a better field of view than most masks (but not so close that it feels uncomfortable or confining.While it is made as a spearfishing mask, but it works great for every day snorkeling and diving use.

Comments about Omer "Bandit" Spear-Fishing & Diving Mask:
This is my favorite mask.. I own two. For spearfishing, this is the only mask I use. It is small, but fits my med-large face perfectly. I have a big nose, too. For the size of the mask and the windows, it has a surprisingly wide field of view.. Highly recommended.

My Favorite Mask
By JB
from Washington, DC
This is an excellent mask. The mask looks deceivingly small, but its skirt fits the contours of my face as if it were custom-made. Its low internal volume makes it very easy to clear underwater, and the opaque skirt reduces reflections and glare (great for underwater photography). In my opinion, this is one of the best masks on the market.

Texarkana Man Jailed after Hotel Robbery
By: Nancy Cook, KTAL-TV, Shreveport
Updated: November 20, 2012
Brandon Frazier, 28, of Texarkana, was taken into custody Sunday for the Saturday morning holdup of the Economy Inn on State Line Avenue.
The hotel clerk told police the suspect walked into the business and demanded cash from the register. After getting an undetermined amount of cash, the suspect ran out the front door. Video evidence provided to officers showed the suspect to be about 5'9" tall and 200 pounds, with facial hair and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt.
On Sunday, police were called to a disturbance involving child custody issues at a home on East 50th Street. While investigating the incident, police learned of information that matched the suspect in the disturbance call to the suspect description in the hotel robbery.
That information led officers to Frazier, who was found at a home on Locust Street and arrested.
He's charged with aggravated robbery and interference with child custody.

Sleeping in tents in the middle of the desert may deter your fashion ambitions, if that desert wasn't the scene for Coachella.
PHOTOS: Hip-Pop Celebs Close Out Week 1 At Coachella In A Blaze
Celebrities out and about for the music festival weren't skimping on the style. Instead, they used it as an opportunity to showcase their best hippie fashion trends in the desert.
At the forefront of Coachella trends were '60s inspired favorites including floral headbands, long fringed vests and the almighty cut-off denim shorts. The season transitional denim trend was a bigger hit at Coachella than Tupac's hologram appearance ... OK, well almost.
PHOTOS:CONCRETE CATWALK: Vanessa Hudgens Nails Boho Chic At Coachella
Our favorite of the weekend was Vanessa Hudgens, who seemed to get in touch with her inner festival-goer in an array of Coachella friendly get-ups, while stars like Fergie and Rihanna kept the classic grunge look going strong with a few Coachella appropriate additives.
Lindsay Lohan, dare we say, looked stunning in a white eyelet dress with a pair of chunky Jeffery Campbell lace up booties and a pair of yellow sunnies.
Also on our Coachella style radar is the ever so sexy Chanel Iman, who posted a photo to her Instagram in her grunge meets hippie get-up, and Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder, who totally nailed the Coachella couple look.
Check out the gallery above to see your favorite hip-pop stars in their favorite Coachella fashions. The desert fashionable living isn't for the faint of heart!

Microsoft Update – Breaks S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (And Goodness Knows What Other Video Games)
First off, Happy St. Patrick's Day. Go forth and kill a snake. Or drink a green beer. Or … something!
Second off, sorry for the lack of updates lately. I haven't been feeling well. I took my wife to the hospital for tests a while back and, of course, got sick. (Because hospitals aren't exactly places of congregation of the healthy.) I got "well" in that I kicked the disease quickly enough. But because I had to get some time-critical work done, I hadn't been taking days off to rest, so it was just a struggle day-in, day-out, with weekends barely just giving me enough time to keep going. I literally could pull myself together just enough for work. I didn't have enough left in me for blogging. So anywhen, sometime in the future I'll go through my notes and backdate posts, as I tend to do. Now that I can take time to recover.
Third, the main point of this blog. So I've been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky lately. I recently-ish bought it on Steam for dirt cheap. Even though I hate, detest, abhor Steam, and almost always make sure to buy the disk instead of the music, game, or movie because of rights issues, this one time I caved and "downloaded" the game. From Steam no less. I'm a hypocrite of convenience. I hate myself. But I'll get over it.
Anyway, so I've been playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and enjoying it. I think it might actually even rate as one of my favorite video games. I wish I'd bought it sooner. It's a lot better than the first. Not just in being more of a challenge, or in being able to do simple basic things like repair an item, but it just all plays / feels / works so much better. I especially like the upgrades and the item maintenance. (Even if I still don't understand why you can't do stupid things like permanently tack weld a scope to a Viper 5.) Except for, you know, the bugs. Those darn little things that forced me to restart the game because the main plot device broke and I was eternally stuck. Nerf! Oh well.
But so the thing is, just this weekend the darn game kept crashing. Not even crashing out of the game, but in a weird in-game-ish stuck thing where it was like the underlying engine was still running, but the 3D graphics portion had crashed. So there was no longer a user interface. It just became a black screen with a mouse cursor. That's it. Sometimes it'd be in the middle of playing. Sometimes just in the menu trying to load a game or change 3D settings. (Trying to debug the crashing.) And sometimes even while the advertisement logo movies played while starting up the game! It was absurd!
After much gnashing of teeth, trying offline mode in Steam, even trying to set the CD key in multi-player even though the single-player game doesn't really use the CD key, I was going crazy.
Until I thought about it. I'd just seen Windows do an update. Could that somehow be it?
I know, I know, I really should turn off the automatic updates because Microsoft does throw out some real turds. And this was one of them.
Update KB2670838 happens to update Windows 7 with some changes to Direct3D, DirectDraw, etc. Yup. Damn. And sure enough, Microsoft "fixed" Direct 3D just enough to make S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky incredibly completely totally bonkers unstable.
Well nerds to that!
So I uninstalled Windows Update KB 2670838 and sure enough, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky is nice and stable again. Imagine that.
So if you still play S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, I hope you find this blog because chances are, right now you're not playing it because of this bug in Microsoft's "fix" to whatever problems they thought they had.
Or, honestly, goodness how many other video games are crashing right now because of KB2670838. Heck, programs in general. Movie players. Who knows what else uses those engines? I don't know what Microshaft is thinking about releasing that PoS, but that update was most definitely neither thoroughly tested nor kosher.
So be warned! If you play video games, pay close attention to how often things crash after you install KB 2670838. You just may find yourself uninstalling that particular Microsoft update!

Mac Pro 2009, Final Cut Pro 7, brand new install- I'm trying to view Canon HDV24F (native 1080/24p) video in my Final Cut Pro timeline via s-video to a JVC TM-H150C external 15" CRT monitor (or via component if I buy the additional JVC card). Firewire through a camcorder only shows a still on the external monitor when the video is paused. The footage is from a Canon HV40 camcorder.
I've spoken with BlackMagic Design and found that the Intensity Pro card CANNOT handle display of Canon HDV24F, or any native 24fps. Apparently the 24 frames per second rate is the problem. Some people on various forums have said that it can do 24p, but BMD says it cannot, and I can't confirm anything without plunking down $200 to test it myself. With all the various flavors of HDV out there, I can't go by what another user has experienced on his system.
I don't need a card for capture, only external monitoring, so I don't want to spend a fortune just to be able to use my little CRT production monitor to view the 24p video. What can I do? Is there a setting in FCP or a plugin that can do this?

The Heron's Nest: The Dreaded Saturday Eagles Pick
Welcome to the Nick Foles Era.
Or is this the return of the Tommy Brasher Era. Or the end of the Jim Washburn Era. Yeah, I know, it's hard to tell who's coming and who's going around here these days.
Let's start with Foles. This is now his team. At least for the next four weeks. That's how long he has to convince the Eagles that he is their quarterback of the future, even if he likely will be doing it for another head coach. Foles had his best week since taking over for the concussion-plagued Michael Vick last Sunday night against the Cowboys.
Now, it's time to take off his training wheels and see what this baby will do. And he has the perfect opponent to do it against Sunday when the Birds travel south to Tampa. While new stud running back Bryce Brown could find it very tough sledding against the No. 1 defense against the run, Foles will have an opportunity to feast on the league's worst pass defense.
Look for Foles to have a big day.
Also look for changes on the Eagles defense. With Washburn following Jason Babin out the door, some of the problems that have plagued the Birds should be rectified.
Don't look now, but I'm picking the Birds to snap that eight-game losing streak on the strong right arm of Nick Foles.
The Pick: Make it Eagles 26, Buccaneers 17. Foles continues to progress, and combined with Brown allows the Eagles to control the game.
Last Week: You know one of the worst things about this season? Seeing the Cowboys and Redskins breathing down the Giants' necks while the Eagles are wallowing in the NFC East's basement. If the Birds had just been able to win a couple of games after cutting Juan Castillo loose, they'd be right in the thick of it. Instead, they again allowed Dallas receivers to run wide open and came up on the losing end for the eighth straight week. In the process they punched Washburn's ticket out of town.
Season Record: The season is an unmitigated disaster, with the Eagles sitting at a horrific 3-9. I'd still like to know the behind-the-scenes play that went into hiring Washburn, then finding no established defensive coordinator wanted to come here and work with him, leaving Reid in a lurch and forced to turn to Castillo. That is what turned the Eagles into this sad sack of a franchise. For met, I got off that two-game losing stream by picking against the Birds vs. the hated 'Boys. At least I didn't have to watch it. Way past my bed time. I'll be back on the couch Sunday with a 7-5 record. Continued...

Johan is not nuts. At least not anymore nuts than the rest of us. He is ruled by his own psychology, which includes jealousy that he cannot sing that high.
Is Facebook chat the little box that comes up when you speak to someone else? Haha, I use that feature occasionally. I'm usually on fb long enough to check my notifications and then I'm out of there. Mark Zuckerburg is still a rusty cuntflap though.
I do not use any chat feature. Okay, that is a lie, I use FB chat about 5 times a year.
Nah it has its uses, good for organising events and catching up with people you don't see much or anything.But when you get people writing their life stories, heartaches, poor use of the english language e.t.c. on there, then indeed: Hence why most my statuses are sarcastic, ironic, and generally nothing much serious
I never use Facebook chat. I find the thing obsolete. Whenever I'm (accidently) on it, the only people that harass me are people I haven't talked to in ages and have not wanted to talk to in ages. So, it's some kind of artificial small talk that neither of us are really into. Some people just seem to have this compulsion to chat to anyone on Chat. Fuck off, we've nothing to talk about.To be honest, for the most part, I have a problem with all MSN/Chat clients. The idea is obviously to simulate a conversation but it feels so artificial and fake it just doesn't work for me. I prefer hearing the person's voice and usually seeing them. Even phonecalls are better, there's something so impersonal about chatting online.If the person really needs to talk to me, they use PMs. That is a far better experience for me as all it tries to simulate is emails, which are nothing like a real conversation. Works perfectly for me. The big problem I has with the new chat is people getting confused and sending me chat messages even though I'm offline. But people seem to have copped on so really, I no longer give a fuck

Tahu vs. Tahu
Chapter 1 – Depth Charge
iBrow Comedy Productions
The Year is 2011....
Underwater in the Pond:
Pridak swam lazily towards his pal Mantax's cave taking in the massive bunches of rotting leaves clumped together in cracks in the rock.
"Yo, Mantax!" he called, announcing his entrance. "What's up bro?"
"The same thing that was 'up' last time you were around."
"You're still trying to get that soggy loaf of bread out of here?" Pridak queried, swimming into the cave and taking in the humongous loaf of bread that was slowly disintegrating into Mantax's new home.
"Yes." Mantax sighed. "I hate this place. I wanna live on dry land again."
"Don't let Carapar hear you say that. He'll tear you to pieces." Pridak warned.
Mantax snorted, and a clump of soggy bread flew up into his nose. Pridak roared with laughter as the black Barraki desperately attempted to remove the bread, huffing and puffing his way into the next continent. After a few moments however Pridak grew bored of the struggle and wrenched the bread out of Mantax's face, allowing Mantax to begin breathing again.
"So Mantax, I've been wondering...." Pridak began, sinking onto his friend's couch.
"What is it? Did we leave a secret plan behind?" Mantax guessed, sitting in the chair opposite.
"No...." Pridak sighed, glancing away. "Have you ever wondered what life would be like if the Tahu vs. Tahu war hadn't occurred?"
"Well, we sure as heck wouldn't be living in this dump." Mantax asserted.
"You're right. Who was the numb nut who had the idea to move all of 2007 here in the first place?" Pridak questioned.
"...You." Mantax answered.
Pridak paused, mouth slightly open.
"Right... oops." He muttered, chuckling. "Seriously though, have you?"
"Not really." Mantax shook his head thoughtfully. "But if the Tahu vs. Tahu conflict hadn't occurred, something would have. You remember what happened in 2009, right?"
"Of course. We picked the wrong side in that battle."
"Obviously. We landed back in jail, though our selection wasn't a surprise." Mantax replied. "But nothing really occurred to cause that conflict. And you saw just how easily half of the Bionicles left Tahu Mata for Tahu Stars. Something like that doesn't happen instantaneously. Sets weren't happy with how things were."
Mantax sucked in a couple of breaths, coughing a bit when he swallowed some of the clearly poisonous water.
"You're right." Pridak agreed. "So civil war was inevitable. So was invasion, I suppose. And now we're dealing with the aftermath of both."
"Absolutely no way around it either." Mantax told him. "I mean, it's not like we can go back in time and change everything."
A spark lit in Pridak's eyes- a spark that Mantax instantly recognized as an idea.
Usually these ideas never ended well. So Mantax couldn't blame himself when nervousness immediately set in.
"What's the plan?" Mantax sighed, rolling his eyes.
"Time!" Pridak exclaimed. "Mantax, we could go back in time! We could change everything! Make everything better!"
"Er... how?" Mantax scratched his head. "We have no idea what might happen."
"We go back in time and kill Tahu Mata." Pridak responded. "You, me, and two others."
"Irnakk would be cool. He's pretty strong." Mantax suggested. "Maybe Kazi. He worked well with us on the Nuju Metru mission."
"Then it's settled." Pridak stood and began pacing the cave. "We'll get Irnakk and Kazi and time travel to 2001, kill Tahu Mata, return to 2011, and everything should be better."
"How are we going to get out, though?" Mantax asked. "Hydraxon and Maxilos are constantly patrolling the exit, and if they see trouble they'll send Karzahni too."
"We're going to need a distraction...." Pridak pondered.
"No. He'd never do it." Mantax shook his head.
"He knows he has to pay for past crimes. This is how he'll pay." Pridak decided. "Don't worry Mantax. Everything is going to go out of control."
"That's precisely why I'm worrying pal."
Later on under the Pond:
"Hey! Get back here!" Hydraxon bellowed. "I SAID GET BACK HERE! You know locking people into jail cells is illegal! Get back here Takadox, or I'll rip you in-"
"Ouch!" Hydraxon muttered, twisting his ankle as he fell. "Stupid banana peel."
Maxilos sped by him, firing Cordak rounds at the fleeing Takadox.
"The problem Takadox...." the robot began, "Is that you glow in the dark. Thus, there can be no escape for you."
"Yeah, that does suck!" Takadox called back. "And I'm actually beginning to regret agreeing to this!"
Hydraxon stood and swam after them, quickly passing Maxilos and firing his own Cordak rounds at the fleeing Barraki, until....
"WHAT IN MATA-NUI'S NAME WAS IT THIS TIME?!" Hydraxon screamed. "Oh. Stupid giant banana peel!"
Maxilos rolled his eyes and yanked Hydraxon back to his feet, gesturing towards Takadox.
"We have him trapped." The robotic set murmured. "Close in."
Hydraxon glanced over and saw that what Maxilos said was true.
"Any last words before we lock you up for good?" he called, swaggering forward.
"Yeah," Takadox sniggered, backing into the wall. "The fact that you have repeatedly tripped and fallen while swimming underwater is highly amusing. It makes this tiresome payment worth it."
"Wait a minute...." Maxilos paused. "Payment for what?"
"Oh, you didn't know?" Takadox asked innocently, pointing behind them. "Pridak and Mantax are leaving."
Maxilos whipped around and saw not only Pridak and Mantax leaving, but what appeared to be Kalmah and Ehlek as well.
"I thought the six of you had broken up!" he exclaimed.
"We did!" Takadox answered from behind him. "But Pridak and Mantax got us back together."
"What's Carapar doing?" Hydraxon hissed, standing once again. "What did you have him do?"
"Nothing." Takadox shrugged. "He's too dumb. It's just me and the ones escaping. Good luck capturing them."
"Oh we'll capture them alright." Hydraxon responded. "You think we're the only ones enforcing order? We made a deal with the Makuta, fool; they'll haul the other Barraki back here in no time."
Takadox snorted in disbelief. Hydraxon stepped towards him threateningly, only to trip once again. Takadox and Maxilos both began to howl with laughter.
To Be Continued....

Cloak of Night
By Dominic Kamp
May 27th, 2010
I took this shot in Saint Jean de Luz, a fishing port on the Basque coast and now a famous resort, known for its architecture, sandy bay, the quality of the light and the cuisine. I only got rid of some elements on the beach to make it a bit more tidy. Otherwise, no alterations.

Matterhorn's Midnight Reflection
By Dominic Kamp
July 29th, 2010
After my little misinterpretation of Zermatt's traffic regulations (no cars allowed - $700 fine if you get caught), I ended up having to hike for 2.5 hours, 4 miles and about 1,000 meters in altitude with roughly 15kg on my back. Finally, I arrived at Stellisee, a small lake with a fantastic panorama of the Swiss Matterhorn. After I finished shooting, I hiked back the super dark trail, well prepared like any other mountain guide, with my new iPhone flashlight app! Photo comes straight out of the camera, so no further alterations.

First Clip from New ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Episodes; Plus 9 New Character Posters
by Adam Chitwood Posted: April 25th, 2013 at 8:22 am
The first clip from the new batch of Arrested Development episodes has landed online, and it appears that the relationship between Tony Hale's Buster and Jessica Walter's Lucille hasn't changed a bit. The clip provides a tiny hint as to what Lucille has been up to since the events of the season three finale, but mainly it just showcases the series' wonderful sense of humor that's been sorely missing from our lives for far too long. Additionally, Netflix has released a new batch of character posters for the new episodes that features the entire cast along with some rather familiar taglines.
Hit the jump to check out the clip and posters, and if you missed the EW covers and new images from yesterday, click here. Netflix will release all 15 new episodes of Arrested Development at once on May 26th.

I think so, it seems to be centered and that is more important any how. Interesting search site, did you buy this script or did you create it yourself? Either way, good luck with the site.
The design is very nice but IMO the search bar isn't big enough. At the size it is now, it doesn't draw enough attention to search functionality of the site.
I like a search bar about the size of the one at www.ask.com.

ok thanks for the feedback.
i've updated it now.
please let me know your thoughts.
again, thanks
thanks for that daniel.
just working on making it auto focus cursor onto the search form.
any ideas?
Yeah, it looks plenty big enough to me. You might even consider getting rid of the Find File button and center the search bar with this text in it: "Type in the file you want to find and click enter." Just a thought. It depends on your preference and if you don't want to have the search bar blank.

not a bad idea. thanks for that
but seeing as search engines tend to be this way think i'll leave it for now
I think it looks very good. The search bar is certainly big enough now. Nice, clean look.
Are you also thinking having seasonal search bars, the way that Google dresses up it's logo for holidays and such? lol

hmmm looks pretty bad...
try it in firefox if possible, or update your IE.
it should look much nicer.
Looks fine in IE and Firefox. I don't see any need to use the textured background in the search box.

"Punkbuster Online Countermeasures"
Anti-Cheat software from Even Balance that should prevent people from cheating in the games it is integrated with. Possible source of nuisance because of no backward compatibility, and many updates every once in a while. See wallhack When you go play Quake3, and you just started getting on fire, and suddenly you're "forced to spectator mode until PB version updates", you know what time it is.
1. | punkbuster | ||
A gay ass peice of shit anti-hacking game software. If you do not know a lot about computers or you have vista, chances are if you get a game which has punkbuster enabled for multiplayer, itll give you many errors. yes punkbuster does prevent hacks and most people do not get kicked from it, but its possible that you fall into the small category of people being kicked by punkbuster daily, for no reason at all. "Hey 1337nub25, like my new server for COD?"
"No, I keep getting kicked by lame ass punkbuster." |
2. | Punkbuster | ||
An ancient piece of software the for some unknown reason large publishers like EA still use. The staff at Punkbuster write their code in Java and only work on it from 9-11 am at the local community college computer lab. The program mainly functions as a lottery system, if punkbuster works you are allowed to play the game that day. This helps publishers pay as little as possible for servers as they force large portions of the community offline in a load balancing technique. Punkbuster wont let me play my game online!
oooh bummer, better luck next week. |
4. | Punkbuster | ||
An anti-cheating program used by Quake 3 and America's Army. It updates alot, but still talented hackers/cheaters can cheat. Non Cheater: Man, Punkbuster sucks. I gotta wait four minutes to update, and those losers still cheat!
Cheater: HaH4h4, L0s3rs. 1 5+IlL 0wnZOR yoU! pB 5UcK5! |
5. | PunkBuster | ||
PunkBuster is an online anti-cheating protection software for known games Counter Strike, Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and other games with online capabilities.
While the sole purpose is to disable cheats, hacks, and botting on selected servers, PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB executables can lag some machines majorly. However, it still fits to execute its intended role. PunkBuster was right for me. When we mean NO BOTS, we MEANT NO BOTS! Now my server is a play-fair server that everyone loves to log on to!
I just hope my friend's sorta-slow computer doesn't lag because of PnkBstr Processes. After all, he only has 512MB RAM. |
6. | Punkbuster | ||
Is Punkbuster Gay? Yes, they indeed do like it in the ass.
7. | PunkBuster | ||
An editor of UD, not to be confused with the uneffective Anti-Cheat program. PunkBuster is busting the punks that try to make UD a terrible place as we speak. I'm leet-er than you. Noobs.

5/17/2010 -- what is your phone number?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We can be reached at (425) 355-8865Our toll free order is (800) 850-2739
10/26/2009 -- What is the shelf life of whole grain? How about crushed grain?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: It depends on the conditions of your shelf, of course! Cool and dry conditions are best.From a practal standpoint, grains can be stored uncrushed, in unopened bags for a year or maybe even more at room temperature. If it is crushed, perhaps 1/2 of that.All grains should be stored away from moisture, sealed, and especialy protected . . .
2/16/2009 -- I'm new to homebrewing and have progressed to all grain brewing, I'm really just wondering now what the difference is between 2 row, 6 row, pale ale malt and pilsner malt, they all seem to have really close to the same lovebond rating, I guess the biggest difference would be in the flavor but which one's have what flavor?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Basically, it´s more a matter of color and enzymes. Let´s use 2 row as your ´base´grain. 6-row will taste the same, but have more enzymes (useful for converting wheat mashes, for instance).Pilsner malt will be just a ´titch´lighter in color, with enzymes similar to 2-row. Useful in pilsner, for instance.
1/26/2008 -- I live about an hour (if traffic is good) from the address on your website. Do you have an actual store or is everything here based solely online?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Yes, we have an actual brick-and-mortar store in Everett, WA. People actually walk in and buy stuff!Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9109 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204Here is a video of our shop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1a5fKvv8XIHeck, you can actually call us on the phone, too! It's 425-355-8865. A person will . . .
11/5/2006 -- I live in Seattle, can I come and pick up the bottles in Everett? Do you have a "brick and mortar" store?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: You sure can. It is literally made of bricks and mortar, in South Everett. Our address is:Homebrew Heaven9109 Evergreen WayEverett, WA 98204425-355-8865Hours are 10-6:30 M-F and 9:30-5 on SaturdaysHere is a video of the place:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1a5fKvv8XITake a look around!
4/21/2005 -- where do i go to buy bulk grain for my grain mill?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: No need to go anywhere. We sell grain in bulk (usually 50 or 55 lb bags). Here is a link to the 2-Row grain:http://www.nexternal.com/hombre/?Product=1214
12/28/2004 -- Am trying to produce a "Chimay Blue" type clone. The recipe I have calls for several items I'm having difficulty finding could you please explain the following and/or provide suggestions for suitable alternatives? for context I've added all items except hops for some context.- Belgian 2-row- Cara-Munich- Belgian Aromatic- Belgian . . .
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We have most everything on your list, but it (sometimes) goes by different names. This is pretty common with grains. For instance, crystal malts are often called caramel malts, and 2-row is often called pale malt. Here is the breakdown you need for this recipe:- Belgian 2-row (We call it Belgian Pale Ale Malt)- Cara-Munich (We have this . . .
9/11/2004 -- I am trying to put to gather the grains to brew a German hefeweizen beer in quanties for 5 gal batches. Do you have any recomendations?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Sure. Try 5 lbs wheat, and 3.5 lbs 6-row and 0.5 lb munich.
1/2/2004 -- How do I order grains in multiples less than a pound? ( i.e. 3/4lb, 12oz etc)
Response From Homebrew Heaven: We've now fixed our website. Click on "Options" and then you can select either pounds OR ounces! Remember, 1 pound = 16 ounces
7/17/2003 -- How do you package grain for shipment?
Response From Homebrew Heaven: Typically, we heat seal it into clear plastic bags. If needed they are "double bagged" just in case.You can have it crushed, or uncrushed. We can either mix the grains together or package them separately. These are the "options" you see on the right side of the screen.

Hundreds of local senior citizens packed the Ingram Room of the Lockhart-Taylor Center on Thursday for the annual senior Christmas luncheon, hosted by Grace Senior Center.
Before the seniors enjoyed a traditional Christmas meal and dessert, Grace Senior Center director Bernice Bennett gave an invocation and thanked all those present for attending. County Commission Chair Anna Baucom spoke as well, recognizing fellow Commissioners Ross Streater and Bobby Sikes, Wadesboro Mayor Bill Thacker, former Morven mayor Carolyn Solomon, County Clerk Bonnie Huntley and County Manager Lawrence Gatewood.
"Bernice Bennett and her staff do a wonderful job," Baucom said.
The seniors were encouraged not to forget to sign up for Medicare Part D and also were given information on SHIIP , the Seniors' Health Insurance Information Program.
Scott Collier, who manages the Lockhart-Taylor Center for South Piedmont Community College also spoke, and told the seniors it was a blessing for him to be able to socialize with them. He also reminded the seniors that they are entitled to two classes per semester, tuition-free. "You're never too old to go to college," he said.
