Top Review by coconutcream
Considering how wonderful the sate mixture smelled before I cooked it, I was disappointed that the final product came out tasting rather bland. The sauce helped, but not everyone cared for it. I do like, however, how unique this dish was; I've never made anything like it before, and it was nice to have something a little different.

I think it would be very useful to see the exact time when each thread was last updated/posted to. Has this been considered?
The current style of displaying relative time for recent posts (not more than a week old) is pretty useful, considering the different time zones people live in. Otherwise, everyone will have to do mental calculation every time they want to know when it was posted, in relative to their own time zone compared to the server time (which is Pacific Time GMT-8).
For recent posts, you will see the actual date and time stamps when you are on the reply page.
Thank you for your reply. I'm also active on a couple of other Forums, and of course they also have members worldwide. On those Forums it's possible for each member, no matter in what country he or she is, to set their own local time, so that the local time is displayed. So that when I pull up, for instance, "All Forums" and see the threads that were most recently added to, then I can also see the time when that happened. From experience I know tbis is really useful, because I can then easily locate the threads that have been updated since I last checked the Forum.
The thing is, our members are travellers. Under your proposal, each and every one of them would need to go into their profile to update their timezone information each time they're in a new location on this planet, which would get old really swiftly. (And of course the current setup is useful for people who aren't logged in, too.)
So then we'd need to go and add an option (turned off by default, as 90% of people never look at or change settings at all) for just those people who are logged in, happen to not be travelling very much, and are the type to change preferences, to display time absolutely for their specific time zone, rather than relatively. And take daylight savings time into account and all of that hassle. It might be nice to do that, still, but it's an awful lot of hassle for very little gain, and I'd personally consider it to be not worth it.
That said, an option to see which threads have been posted in since you last visited is really useful, and would be a great addition. I personally make this kinda work for me by clicking on the "last post" link in the forum index. If it's purple (visited), there have been no new replies. If it's orange (not visited), there have been new replies. Works well enough, but if the site could keep track of this for me and denote it with an icon or a "jump to new posts since your last visit" link, that would be better still.
[ Edit: Edited on 17-May-2009, at 09:45 by Sander ]
Well, it was just a thought! And thank you for your quick response. I realize that a lot of the Forum members are "on the road" and in those cases they would presumably just have to settle for whatever time is automatically displayed. But, when you're on your home computer, it's obviously different. Not sure how the Daylight Saving Time issue is dealt with. I live in Hawaii, and Hawaii only uses Standard time, so not an issue for me!
Quoting Sander
The thing is, our members are travellers. Under your proposal, each and every one of them would need to go into their profile to update their timezone information each time they're in a new location on this planet, which would get old really swiftly. (And of course the current setup is useful for people who aren't logged in, too.).
This is something I've mentioned before, about users setting their local timezone - or having timezone set by the persons resident country (as opposed to citizen country) as people travelling often do change this. It may also be possible to have on the front page (of the new design being worked on?) a check using IP address against the timezone for members logged in, and asking if they want to change to the suggested timezone of where the IP is located.
Another thing I've previously mentioned is for non-members the best timezone to have is UTC, and not US Pacific Time. This is because all time zones are relative to UTC (often referred to as GMT, however I believe UTC is the correct term as it doesn't suggest any particular country).
Both of the above together would be far more useful to a global userbase than just having US Pacific Time displayed.
That I absolutely agree with. That UTC isn't used now is mostly (I think) the effect of an old codebase which when it was set up never thought about such issues, and it now being a gargantuan task to fix it sitewide. The blogs do work with UTC for a lot of things, but yeah, definitely not an ideal situation...

Why Is New Resident Evil Games Never on Wii?
Yeah, now I'm starting to get mad.
I love RE, ever since I was 5 years old, I played the game. Now, all these new ones are coming out, like, RE5 and Operation Raccoon City. Why is it always PS3 and XBox360 that get the games? Why do they're players get the satisfaction of playing these new games? I honestly don't feel like buying a whole new system just to continue my gamer passion.
Sure, Wii has Umbrella Chronicles and Darkside Chronicles and is only for Wii, but I think we Wii players deserve to be able to have the same gaming opritunities as the other platforms. I think I can play RE5 on Wii like I can RE4, and same goes for Operation Raccoon City. That's why Wii has the special controllers that connect to the Wiimote and even has the capability to have a Gamecube contoller to make those kind of games with tank controlls much easier.
Yes, Nintendo is known for being a "Family Game Console" type of thing and blah blah blah. If that is the case, why do they even have Resident Evil in their gaming collection at all? I mean, the games are still rated M and there is still blood and gore and violence and even cussing. I mean, for crying out loud, they even have SILENT HILL on Wii and that's a very horrifying game as well as Dead Space that's now available on Wii.
Seriously, if they already have Resident Evil in their gaming collection, why can't games like RE5 and Operation Raccoon City be available to us Wii players?
Please, tell me your opinion on this (and yes, I do rant a lot and write a lot on this kind of subject...)

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Do u have to have a hearing on motion to quash or can judge just simply rule without hearing?
Do I file a motion to dismiss the motion to quash with supporting facts of why documents are necessary?Legal Support for discovering loan value/equity of residence for child support judgment?
In my experience as a California attorney, normally there is a hearing on the motion. (In relatively rare cases, the judge may decide without a hearing.) The paper you file would be called an opposition to motion to quash subpoena (or opposition to motion for order quashing subpoena), not a motion to dismiss. You can include supporting facts that support of your opposition. However, you probably need a memorandum of points and authorities outlining the legal support for the proposition that the information is discoverable. In California, information is discoverable if it is relevant to the subject matter of the action or is likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. There may also be issues relating to privilege or other issues. It is hard to tell the merits of the subpoena without knowing more about the case and the subpoena.
This response is for information purpose only and does not constitute a legal advice. This response does not create an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
In Georgia you don't have to have a hearing on a motion. It will depend on the practice of the judge and the substance of the motion. I can't tell from the question whether it is federal or state court, but in responding to the motion to quash, you will need to be mindful of the time to respond to that motion. The timing will also depend on whether the subpoena was for discovery purposes (pre-trial) or to bring documents to a hearing or trial. The judge should not rule on the motion to quash before the time passes for you or your attorney file a response to the motion. In any event, as Mr. Lee stated, the written response to the motion should include facts specific to your case to show the court why the documents are relevant to the case, as well as the legal support.
I practice in Connecticut, so my answer is based on that experience. There almost certainly would need to be a hearing on the motion. You would file an objection to the motion to quash and explain why the documents are necessary. If the basis for the motion to quash is that more time is needed, you could reach an agreement to provide the additional time, or limit some of the documents requested. But if it is based on a claim that the documents are not relevant, and not likely to lead to the discovery of relevant evidence, you will probably have to explain all that in your opposition papers.

text: Global asset flows for exchange traded products (ETPs), and fixed income exchange traded funds (ETFs) specifically, hit record levels during the month of January, illustrating a continuing market "revolution" globally as investors increasingly turn to fixed income ETFs in an effort to help restore investment yield to their portfolios. According to the BlackRock Investment Institute's latest "ETP Landscape" report released today, the global exchanged traded product (ETP) industry had its best month of January ever with $34.1 billion of net inflows, representing a 144% increase in inflows over the previous record set in January 2011 and up 116% from December 2011. Also, according to the ETP Landscape, fixed income ETPs set a new global monthly record, attracting $9.0 billion in January 2012 up from the previous monthly record set of $6.7 billion set in January 2009. "In this challenging environment with sustained levels of low yield, now more than ever investors are looking for new ways to generate income," said Peter Fisher, Senior Managing Director and head of BlackRock's Fixed Income Portfolio Management. "We see a quiet revolution building in the asset class as more and more investors learn how to use fixed income ETFs to build portfolios that combine low risk with the potential for yield." Over the last decade, fixed income ETFs have helped democratize access to fixed income markets by creating new centers of transparent liquidity and offering investors a cost efficient way to express a view on specific fixed income sectors. "At iShares, we created the first fixed income ETF nearly ten years ago to offer efficient access to a wide range of fixed income markets and we're thrilled to see institutional and retail investors embracing the benefits of these products," said Matt Tucker, Head of iShares Fixed Income Investment Strategy. "Passive fixed income ETFs are essential building blocks of a portfolio and make particular sense during this period of historically low yield."

text: Celebrate the the forthcoming spring with one of the season's hottest trends - Botanical Prints The beauty of Botanical Prints lies in their ability to bring a breath of fresh air into your home and their versatility. It is a trend that can be incorporated, at least in some capacity, into most styles of decor. From traditional and cosy (remember those Victorians who pioneered the botanical print) to the crisp, clean fern prints that are very abundant in today's modern interiors, this is a style that is here to stay. Keep reading for a few ideas on using Botanical Prints in some crafty nature inspired projects. Make your own Botanical Print Paper that could be used to wrap a present or popped into a frame to hang on the wall You will need - - Paints - A variety of different shaped leaves that you find beautiful - Paper/card/fabric (furniture even if you are feeling brave, but remember to use varnish once finished) - Rolling pin - Kitchen towel - Paintbrush Collect a selection of leaves you like the shape of and give them a clean and dry them off with kitchen towel (very delicately!). Using some gorgeous autumnal coloured paints (or wackier colours if your are going for a very stand out look) and start painting your leaves (use some newspaper to protect your table). Then once painted, place you leaf face down onto the paper you would like to print on. Take a piece of kitchen roll, place that on top and roll your rolling pin over the top. Carefully peel away your kitchen towel and leaf to reveal your print. Repeat process as desired to create you printed paper. If you would like to use the same leaf but a different colour, give the leaf and rinse and dab it ready for a new colour. Leave your artwork to dry and then enjoy! Style doesn't get much more botanical than these Natural Fern Wall Prints! Start by gathering a couple of handfuls of fern stems that look healthy and green. Then lay the ferns between wax paper and press flat between large heavy books for 2-3 days. The next step is to then lay the flattened ferns on paper in a layout that you like the look of and affix them with a tiny bit of craft glue. You are then left with some beautiful botanical pieces of art which can be displayed behind glass in frames. Have fun with a leaf pattern and create your own unique Botanical Print Tote Shopping Bag You will need - - Plain tote/shopper canvas bag. These can easily be picked up at a local supermarket, or take only a few minutes to conjure up if you are handy with a sewing machine. - Fabric Pens Find yourself a leaf shaped template online, or for the more creative ones, you could draw your own design. Then place it in position under the side of the bag you would like it to be and start drawing! Follow the lines of your chosen design, use one colour for a simple look or have fun with a mixture of tropical colours. Here at Multiyork we have also embraced the Botanical Prints trend. Take a look at some of our favourite prints... Verona Chair in Sanderson Primrose Hill Cube Footstool in Sanderson Rainforest Cuba Chair in Jane Curchill Willowbrook

Dowd finds good spot for Astrid
HALLANDALE BEACH, Fla. - Trainer John Dowd was looking for an easy spot to get Astrid started on her 2002 campaign and may have found one in the third-level optional claiming and allowance race that is the feature on Thursday's 10-race program at Gulfstream Park.
Astrid has not started since the Grade 2 Monmouth Breeders' Cup Oaks on July 28, when she chipped her left front ankle when finishing fourth behind eventual Breeders' Cup Distaff winner Unbridled Elaine. But Astrid, whom Dowd trains for Bobby Hurley's Devil Eleven Stable, has trained well for her 4-year-old debut.
"I'm really happy with the way she's doing," Dowd said. "She's going to be better around two turns, but she's ready, and she can sprint. She ran 1:09-and-change winning off a layoff last summer at Monmouth Park."
Astrid drew the rail - a post that can sometimes be tricky in sprint races at this track - in the field of eight older fillies and mares.
"If I had my choice I rather be in five, six, or seven," Dowd said. "But she won from the one hole in the first start of her career and she's got enough speed to put herself in good position."
Astrid is a Maryland-bred and Dowd's long-term goals with her this season are the Maryland Million and, he hopes, the Breeders' Cup. "She probably would have been the favorite in her respective races each of the last two years on Maryland Million Day," Dowd said. "Unfortunately, she never made it to October either season. Hopefully, we'll be able to get her through the whole year without any problems this season."
Edgar Prado, who has been the hottest rider in the local jockey colony this past week, will be aboard Astrid for the first time on Thursday.
Should Astrid come up a bit short, Tampa Bay Downs invader Flashing Lil or the speedy Honey Eyed might be the most likely ones to spring the upset.
Flashing Lil finished second in Tampa's Minaret and Manatee stakes in January, and earned a career best 95 Beyer Speed figure last fall winning a second-level allowance race at Churchill Downs.
A slow start from the rail and traffic troubles down the backstretch compromised Honey Eyed's chances under similar conditions on Jan. 12 in her first start off a five-month hiatus. Honey Eyed won Philadelphia Park's Roamin Rachel Stakes during the spring of 2001 and has finished worse than second just once in four starts over the Gulfstream Park strip.

Post subject: The Gamer Corps
You never could quite forget that day could you? The day that letter came. Or that day you qualified for a special program. Or that day you were simply selected from the crowds. Whatever happened, it surely was the epitome of your life, wasnt it? Billions of people across the worlds, and it was you who had the stuff. Very few people are recruited to the Gamer Corps, right? It was a day that would live on in your memory forever, even if you passed through it in a dream-like state.
Anomaly and I are presenting you with a very simple question. Are you game enough to become a Gamer? I'm sure some of you already are Gamers, already beyond the basic weapons and holding your own game cards. But some of you are probably just starting. You've just received your GamerStation and only hold your basic, Non-linked Item Cards. But, rookie or veteran, who are you? Tell us about yourself, guided by the information below.
: Certainly not your real name, that's private information. You are granted the privilege to think up your own Gamer name. It doesn't necessarily have to start with a 'C'
: Define yourself here. Describe your appearance, build, personal uniform, and Gamerstation. Remember, you are required to wear the Gamer logo, but the first letter can change if your name does not start with "C"
: Of course, if you're new here, you're limited to the Basic, NonLinked Item Cards. If not, describe what cards you have here. Please use the following type system for ease of reference.

temporarily Realize a game-based item, often a weapon or piece of armor. These Items are limited to basic function. Examples include "Beam Sword" (non-Linked), "Super Scope" (non-Linked), and "Proto Shield" (Linked).
Powered Item Cards
are similar to Item Cards in that they Realize a game item. However, Powered Items grant powers to the Gamer using them. An example is "V-Watch", which granted the Captain at least the "Slow" power.
Power Cards
allow the Gamer to use a single power, emblematic of the character Linked. Examples include "Mega Slide" and "Power Copy".
Skill Cards
give temporary use of the character's skills to the Gamer. Examples include "Ryu Ansetsuken" and "Sakura Ansatsuken".
Buff Cards
boost the Gamer's pre-existing abilities. Examples include "Mario Jump" (buffs jumping ability), "Sonic Run" (buffs running speed) and "DK Strength" (buffs physical strength).
May it be noted that we would like ample reasoning as to how you came across these cards, be you a veteran. For all Gamers, remember that you have a basic meelee and ranged Item Card as well. For all rookies, choose a ranged and a meelee Item Cards from the following list. Unless you have a different basic card?
Basic Non-Linked Meelee Cards
Beam Sword - Basic power and speed. Customizable, but despite it's name it can't actually cut anything.
Home-Run Bat - While it can hit things quite a distance, it cant do as much solid damage.
Hammer - It hits hard and can cause lots of damage, but is the most difficult to control. Also has a bad habit of breaking after a random number of hits.
Basic Non-Linked Ranged Cards
Ray Gun - Shoots green energy bolts at one energy level
Super Scope - While its basic shot is comparable to a rapid-fire pea shooter, it can be charged for a more powerful blast
Fire Flower - Comparable to a flamethrower
MetaGame Function
: What is the one unique skill that makes your GamerStation special from the rest? Besides its appearance. Metagame functions include, but are not limited to, the following:
fixes broken objects. However, when it comes to finite detailing such as whats written on paper, this power becomes shaky.
doubles the effectiveness of activated Game Cards,but halves the amount of cards that you can use at once. When Turbo is deactivated, there is a cooldown period where your Game Cards are at normal efficiency, but you are still limited to half your original game slots. Cooldown last as long as Turbo was in effect.
can take exact pictures and videos of an area. Videos include sound.
Memory Card
saves a Game card configuration to the station itself, so no card is required to put their powers into effect. Must have an open slot to activate the power, regardless.
automatically maps out the area with the ability to pick up on objects that wouldnt be on basic maps. This includes finding game charactors, Digitally Realized objects, and other Gamer Stations.
can analyze digitally realized entities and objects on an in-game basis. Can evaluate health, weaknesses, special skills and abilities, and so forth. To activate this power, a question is required.
Some gamerstations are special and only have MetaGame functions, but they cannot Establish Links. The only weapons these Stations allow are the basic, non-linked Item Cards.
To all new Gamers, may it be known that your GamerStation is not just for battle. Universal and basic functions of your GamerStation include a memo pad, clock, communication gear, and a decent amount of basic memory for any other programs you may have.
Also a reminder to all Gamers. Besides our missions for peace and justice, we still have to do actual work. We have our own office building which has been outfitted to our needs. It seems high time to rearrange the room set up, since people are still fighting over the location of their rooms. Please pick a number from 1 to 10, and your room will be assigned to you. Please consider how you will arrange your new space. I know some of you live on the premises, so your move will be made more difficult by the addition of larger furniture. It would be much appreciated if everyone helped everyone else move into their new rooms, thank you. Remember, our one regulation is nothing inappropriate, and the definition if inappropriate apparently changes too much for this to actually be an effective rule.
For those who are new to the Gamer Corps, here are some important people you'll need to remember.
Caesar Gamer
is our field commander and effectively your boss. His appearance is moderate, shaved bald, and in his forties. Don't be intimidated by him, while he is required to be a responsible adult, that doesnt mean he's completely mature. You'll recognize him by his quasi-formal uniform, a long sleeve light blue work shirt, a red tie with the CG logo, and tan slacks above a pair of formal shoes. He wears a light blue visor with a basic GamerStation. His weapon preference are Item Cards, mostly projectile weapons, and the "Bloodberry" from No More Heroes. His MetaGame Function is FAQ
Silver Gamer
is in charge of the new recruits. She's somewhat small and around sixteen with blond pigtails. She is very loud and talkitive, and she demands your respect for her authority. Her uniform consists of a skintight silver tee shirt, dark blue elastic pants that cut off after the knee, and black combat boots. Her GamerStation consists of four silver bands, and her Visor is also silver. Her Cards of choice are often Power cards, and her favortie is "Power Copy". Her MetaGame Function is ScreenShot
Techno Gamer
is our main technician and scientist. He is the most knowledgeable of any of the Gamers on the GamerStation and Digitally Realized entities. He's a bit anti-social and privative, so you can only bug him if you really, really want to. He's in his twenties, which mid-length, unstyled dirty blond hair. You can recognize him by his lab coat, underneath which is a light gray shirt, and dark gray slacks. His GamerStation is the most advanced to date, his "visor" only being a pair of heavy set glasses and the Station itself being small enough to fit under his lab coat sleeve. His card of choice is the powered item "Twilight Bracelet" from .hack://, which allows his to manipulate Digitally Realized data, and his MetaGame Function is AutoMap.
It's game time!
Oh, and, Happy Birthday Cap'n. We've been working on this for a few weeks...and I thought your birthday was more towards the middle of March....

...okay! People seem somewhat silent on this subject, so... I'm gonna go ahead and get the ball rolling by posting my own character sheet - Techno Gamer in full detail.
: Techno Gamer
: Techno has short, messy, dark blond hair, and deep blue eyes. His face is narrow and long, ending in a slightly pointed chin. His complexion is predictably pale, and he is both somewhat short and quite skinny.
His Gamer uniform consists of simple black shoes, dark grey slacks, and a light grey button shirt with "CG" embroidered on the chest pocket. He often adds a white lab coat to this. His Gamer Station is streamlined and sleek enough to fit comfortably under his labcoat, and instead of a visor, he has a pair of somewhat bulky mirror-lensed eyeglasses.
Game Cards
Twilight Bracelet.
Powered Item Card. Origin - Kite,
. Link established while they were working together against the Twilight Wave that started affecting the world soon after Kite's Realisation.
The Twilight Bracelet gives use of the "Data Drain" special power, which allows realtime analysis and modification of the data of Digitally Realised beings.
Killer Bee Style.
Skill Card. Origin - Cammy,
Street Fighter
. Link established when he helped to purge Bison's modifications from her data.
Temporarily grants the same combat skills as Cammy "Killer Bee" White from the Street Fighter series, including special and super moves.
MetaGame Function
: Automap.
Automap shows a map in one corner of the visor's display. This map automatically updates as the Gamer explores the area, and can also detect various DR entities, such as game characters and items, displaying them as variously-sized and -coloured blips on the map.
Now, don't misunderstand my posting this. I'm still going to be GM'ing this with Skybait, I just wanted to make sure I had a full profile up for the sake of both accountability (I can't just whip out a new Game Card for him willy-nilly now that I've listed the ones he does and does not have, for instance), for an example of what the profile should look like, and just to remind people that this RP
exist. We just need more players.

Name : Captain Gamer
Description: 18 years old(?), 5'8'', thinner build. His attire has become iconic, a long-sleeve black shirt under a cobalt overshirt with the letters 'CG' over the chest. Black denim long jeans lead to white sneakers with blue stripes. Over his eyes is a silver visor, and most have never seen underneath them. Those who have claim he has hazel eyes, but nothing was definite.
Putting the 'Gamer' in the Gamer Corps, his actions and influence served as the design and creed of the Gamer Corps. Nobody knows who he actually his, where he gets anything from, if he has any connection with the IDR, and in some opinions, he true intentions.
Even the nature of his demeanor is contradictory, often betraying expectations of a hero, apparently more than content playing supporting roles. If not for the mystery of his identity, he would probably be a mere footnote in the pages of the history of Digital Reality. Despite these, its his involvement that saves the day, and his example which inspires many positively.
Cards: Mario Jump, Beam Sword, Super Scope, Sonic Run, Proto Shield, Mega Slide, Power Copy, ???? (As in unknown. Also spoilers), DK Strength. Appears to have a limit on how many can be active at one time.
Metagame Function: Reset, FAQ(?)

: Cadet Gamer (Kevin Richards)
: a fourteen-year-old boy, Cadet has messy light blonde hair, a green sleeveless T-shirt with the letters "CG" on it. His Game Visor is pretty small, almost looking more like a pair of red sunglasses than a visor. He has a Gamer Station.
He's new to the corps, and was one of the youngest Gamers ever admitted to the Corps. He's very cynical and has little tolerance of incompetent authority, (which often causes clashes with Silver Gamer, since he considers most authority incompetent.) He's only been on about five missions, three of which he completed with a perfect score, and two of of which he failed miserably.
: NES Light Gun (originally Ray Gun, Kevin decided that as is, it was useless, so he hacked it to amp the power. It has greater kickback than usual.), Beam Sword (more like a dagger, really.), BombCrystal ([generates Bomber-Man bombs.] He aquired it during mision 3, when he joined forces with Shirobon to help save World 38 aka Planet Bomber. It should be noted that because of his BombCrystal, he is also considered part of the Bombermen of the Universe.), NiGHTS Flight: ([basic flight, and by extension, drill dash ability, power to paraloop, etc.] This was aquired during his most recent mission, where he was forced to Dualize with NiGHTS and help hi/r save Earth 36 aka Night Dimension, from the forces of Gannondorf.)
In his other missions, He was so annoyed by the attitude of the Game character he should have worked with that he actually developed a bit of an enemyship with them. This ruined two out of three missions. The third, he still managed to complete with a perfect score.
MetaGame Function
: ScreenShot
Random Room Number Thingy
Stupid Question Time!
: Since We're Obviously a Green Lantern Corps ripoff, does that mean we have a Sinestro Corps to Fight? Are The Gamer Stations innefective agaist a certain colour? Is Cap "Hal Jordan"? If so, will he go insane and become Parallax after Central City is destroyed by the Cyborg Supermario?
Apparantly, I'm like, off the vilg RESERVATION. Whatever that means.

Post subject:
Well, we'd tell you, but then we'd have to KEEL YOU! >.>
Guess I'll post My Gamers then...
Caesar Gamer
In his fourties, he's of modest height and build. He's shaved bald, but his face has shaved-yet-unshaven look. He wears a long sleeve light blue work shirt, the sleeves of which will be rolled up when not in public, and a red tie with the CG logo, which will also often be loosened. The tie is specially made with a stopper before it can get too tight and a failure point if too much strain is put on it. Tan slacks above a pair of formal shoes finish off his uniform. He has a light blue visor with a basic GamerStation.
-Item - No More Heroes- Obtained when defending Zelda (and her castle probably) from an assasination attempt by Speed Buster with Travis Touchdown. Beam Sword that can actually cut something, but a little too well. Techno tinkered with it so that it can funcion at different output levels to make it less powerful and more like the Beam Sword. Runs on battery power, and hilt must be shaken to renew its energy supply
Gravity Gun
-Item - Half Life- Can pick up, place, and throw anything
Cracker Shooter
-Item - Super Smash Bros- Just a basic realized weapon, like other Smash Bros weapons. Shoots explosive fireworks like rockets
Ray Gun
-Item - Commander Keen- His very first weapon, gained when he sought Commander Keen himself and fought beside him in a basic run. Shoots bolts of energy that stun enemies
He has this stuff, but uses it sparingly. Very dangerous, since they're as, if not more, powerful than real weapons.
Pipe Bomb
-Item - Duke Nukem- a bomb that can be thrown or placed, then remotely triggered. Can only have one live pipe bomb at a time
Desert Eagle
-Item - Duke Nukem- When World Zero was invaded by Dukeverse aliens, Caeser has to link with Duke to obtain this weapon. A "hand cannon" two-handed gun. Very powerful.
-Item - Doom- You probably dont want to know how he got this. Seriously. Severely rips apart Digitally realized code to the point of failure. Only has four shots and must be precharged
Silver Gamer
She's loud, demands respect, and is very talkitive, though she almost doesnt realize that she is. Around 16 years in age, she has blond hair pulled back into pigtails. her shirt is light silver and skintight, with the sleeves stopping right before the elbow. her pants are dark blue and also skin tight, ending just below the knee. Her figure isnt bombshell or anything, and it doesnt insinuate anything at all. seriously >.> she also wears boots Her gamerstation is four silver bands, two on each wrist, that take one game card apeice. her visor is also silver.
Star Rod
-Item- Super Smash Bros- Can be used as as a meelee weapon or swung to release stars
Kirby Copy
-Power- Kirby- One of her earlier cards. Not being in any particular danger when this card was gained, Kirby's just freindly like that. By touching elemental type objects, can absorb and replicate effects in an attacking fasion
-Powered Item- Pokemon- I think she stole this card...or claimed it to be hers then stole it. When thrown, random pokemon appears. Pokemon last until recalled or take appropriate damamge. Only one Pokemon can be realized at a time
Thought Bubble
-Power- Psychonaughts- Very recently gained on a training mission for the newbs. When realized, can roll faster than a run, jump higher, and hover. Affected by air currents.
Crash Spin
-Power- Crash Bandicoot- When Dr Eggman teamed up with Cortex to get some kind of Crystals, the Corps intervened and she gained this card. A very fast spin. Can break weak structures and spin objects at high speed.
-Power- Boomer's Adventure in ASMIK World- Part of a very small group who demanded Boomer be realized in the latger stages of Digital Realization. Went out of her way to try and link with Boomer, and was successful, apparently. Can dig a hole one foot per shovel swing. Works better in digable material.

: Atlas Gamer
: Atlas has dyed red hair, brown pants, a black leather Jacket with a "AG" logo on the dark red shirt under it. His visor is black, much like actual sunglasses are colored, but his looks very much like a clunky Game Visor. He tends to wear it on his head, above his eyes, only putting it on during actual combat. He has an emo tatoo under one eye, and is muscular. Unfortunately, he's also the most morally ambiguous of the Corps, not as a villian, but he is more willing to use lethal force than most Gamers are. His Gamer Station is biggerthan usual, and is quite clunky. It has no linking ability, so he's collected as many non-linked cards as he can.
: Hammer, Cracker Launcher, Timer, Smart Bomb (Note: I decided to look up some items in SSB:B. You'llfind that these are all in that game.)
MetaGame Function
: Turbo
Selection Number
Stupid Question Time
: Which one of us is "Kyle Rayner"? Do we have a giant battery on the planet Oa shaped like a big GameCube?
The following statement is true : the previous statment was false.

: Constable Gamer
: 21 years old, 6'2'', tanned skin, long dark hair, and vibrant amber eyes. She dresses in long black denim jeans ending with Gamer-typical white sneakers sans the side stripes. Beneath the oddly covering yellow tank top, the CG logo is tattooed above her right breast. Normally seen with lightly applied makeup, and the lipstick more often than the blue eyeliner hidden beneath a purple visor.
Though her beginnings to not coincide with the beginning of the Gamer Corps, Constable , also known as 'Cons' seems to have taken an interest in the organization for the worse. Oftentimes when members of the Gamer Corps are involved in a resolution, Cons is there to make things worse or is at the brunt of it. Her competitive demeanor and flirtatious ways give the impression that DR-conflicts are a game to her. Unlike, say, Captain Gamer, she is very much aware of what she is doing and takes pleasure in as much.
- Inspired by the Soulcalibur weapon, this one can actually compress itself to smaller lengths so it could be clipped on to one of her top's straps or stored in her brassiere. With some force, it will extend and lock into a fully functional staff!
Flash Shot
- Originally a Black Arms gun from Shadow the Hedgehog, it looks harmless, and it doesn't do much damage by itself. This is because the shot starts small and spreads out. The most it can do is force somebody back, which can throw somebody off-guard or try to crush them against a wall.
Hair Whip
- Character: Shantae.
After activation, Cons's hair bunches itself up and a braid forms it into a ponytail. From there she can lash her hair forward in a whip-like fashion.
Succubus Suit
- Character: Morrigan Aensland.
Her outfit changes into a recolored version of Morrigan's, giving her the ability to do most of what the character can do, including gliding, commanding a slew of morphing bats, and attracting every male within a large radius
Doom of the Living
- Character: Yuffie Kisaragi.
Cons's "knockout rush." She will briefly stand, then rush in and deliver a series of fifteen rapid blows depending on how she's equipped at the time.
Metagame Function
Status Swap
- Physical contact allows for the transference of relative physical status. for example, if Cons were to be cut on the arm, she can touch another digitally realized being and swap 'arm damage' with him or her, giving Cons the good arm and realizing the cut onto the other's arm. Conditions that are recognized by the being as established (such as 'broken' or 'paralyzed') will not count. If the break or paralysis happened recently, then they will count. Likewise, should Cons feel the need to help somebody, she can take a wound unto herself.
If you think
creepy, you do NOT want to know Czar Gamer's Metagame function before you need to.
Let's git'r started! Cons wants some silly heroes to mess around with!

"Loving can hurt sometimes but it's the only thing that I know."
She was my best friend. I gave her everything that I have but apparently it's not enough for her. She reached her dreams and eventually forget me, our dreams that we're supposed to reach together. I didn't even had a chance to say how I feel about her. To admit how much I love her.

World Flower-2 Floating Fuzzy Time Mine
This page contains the Green Star locations, Secrets and Stamp Location for Super Mario 3D World's World Flower-2 Floating Fuzzy Time Mine.
EditGreen Star 1
When the level begins, run and jump up to the right. Hit the ? Blocks to reveal a Lucky Bell. Grab it and climb the wall straight above you.
There you will find the first Green Star! Be quick because it won't be available for long!
EditGreen Star 2
Navigate your way up through the mine by using the Lucky Bell suit and the floating water. Soon you'll reach an area with a giant block.
Ground Pound the POW block next to it to reveal the second Green Star. You may also repeatedly hit the block from below to break it.
Side note: You will need the Lucky Bell suit to get the final Green Star. If you have lost it, do not worry. To the right of the POW block you will see another box. Break it to reveal another Lucky Bell.
Be fast though, you don't want to get caught by the Fuzzies!
EditGreen Star 3
Follow the stage to the right. Dodge the spikes and the Spinies! It is a good idea to use the Gold Ground Pound that the Lucky Bell gives you because it makes you invincible!
Soon the path will turn vertical. Climb up as fast as you can to give yourself a strong lead ahead of the Fuzzies. You'll see a Green Star Coin Ring.
Activate it and grab the first six coins to your left, while dodging the spikes. For the last two coins, climb up the wall and use the Jump Pad to grab them.
Once you do, the third and final Green Star will appear!

FMI: Industry Rebounds in Price-Driven Market
WASHINGTON -- The supermarket industry rebounded financially in fiscal year 2004-2005, led by the channel's top 25 percent of profit leaders, who posted particularly strong results, according to the Food Marketing Institute's Annual Financial Review 2005, released here yesterday.
WASHINGTON -- The supermarket industry rebounded financially in fiscal year 2004-2005, led by the channel's top 25 percent of profit leaders, who posted particularly strong results, according to the Food Marketing Institute's Annual Financial Review 2005, released here yesterday.
Total industry net profits averaged 1.16 percent, according to FMI, crossing the 1 percent mark for the first time in three years. The profit leaders reported net earnings more than three times the average, at 3.68 percent.
"In a highly price-competitive market, companies earned their profits through increased efficiency and lower debt," said FMI president and c.e.o. Tim Hammonds in a statement. "They are investing profits in departments and services that deliver convenience and fresh foods, and upgrading technology to optimize productivity and more precisely tailor assortment to consumer demand."
The leaders' results far exceeded industry averages by many key measures of financial performance:
-- Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) -- 6.36 percent of sales for the leaders to 4.38 percent for the industry overall.
-- Capital expenditures -- 2.49 percent to 2.24 percent.
-- Return of assets (ROA) -- 14.16 percent to 3.75 percent.
-- Return on equity (ROE) -- 25.34 percent to 11.08 percent.
-- Asset turnover -- 1.99 to 0.79.
-- Debt-to-equity ratio -- 0.79 to 1.99.
"Companies of all sizes are performing extraordinarily well, during what many regard as the most competitive era in the industry's history," said Hammonds. "Many companies are opening smaller stores to target people at specific income levels, and shoppers seeking ethnic foods, gourmet delicacies, and organic and nutritious products to promote wellness."
A large majority of the financial executives surveyed for the report (85 percent) said they are optimistic that their companies will perform well in the 2005-2006 fiscal year, including 30 percent who are "very optimistic."
Financial executives cited the cost of fuel as an industry concern for the first time in recent years. Of the 11 percent reporting cost containment as a top concern, most mentioned fuel in particular.
Even before the fuel-cost spikes of late 2005, retailers reported changes in consumer shopping when they completed the survey questionnaire in the middle of the year. The most notable changes reported by executives, especially among customers with less disposable income:
-- More bargain shopping -- 27.1 percent.
-- Fewer trips to the store -- 21.5 percent.
-- More items purchased per trip -- 15.9 percent.
Some reported that customers are less willing to drive longer distances to supercenters and warehouse club stores that typically attract customers from a larger geographic area. These trends could continue or increase if fuel costs remain high, according to the FMI report.
Their foremost concerns remain competition (37 percent), particularly from supercenters (14 percent); and healthcare costs (17 percent), followed by cost containment and credit card fees (8 percent).
The Annual Financial Review 2005 is based on data from 140 companies operating 19,558 stores totaling $380 billion in sales - more than three-quarters of all U.S. retail food sales. The report was jointly prepared by FMI and FMS, a financial accounting firm specializing in the retail food industry.

Start Your Own Weight Loss Blog + Reach Your Goals
Ever think about starting a weight loss blog, but didn't know where to start? I am here to tell you it's not that hard to do. I am going to guide you through the steps to get started.
Why should you start your own weight loss blog?
- It can keep you accountable – you can write about your ups, your downs, what you found helpful, vent about falling off the wagon, share when you find success, etc. This keeps you on track and you might even get some good motivation from your readers by doing this, too.
- It can connect you with others who are also on a weight loss journey – you can make some great friends by blogging. And better yet, they'll be friends who are in the same boat as you!
- It gives you somewhere to vent – let's face it, we all have our struggles. Especially with weight loss. This blog can be a place you can vent all your feelings and get advice from others who know how you're feeling.
- It can help you learn and teach others what you've learned – you can write about new things you learn on the web, in books, in magazines, at the gym, etc and help yourself and others with this powerful info and change their lives as well!
- It can provide a side income source! Yes, that's right, you can make money with a blog. Ads, affiliate marketing, being an influencer, and sponsored posts are just a few ways you can make money with your own weight loss blog.
Let's get started on how to make your own weight loss blog.
Step 1: Pick a hosting plan & domain name
You might be wondering – what the heck is a hosting plan?? Your website needs a place to park itself so people can find it and the hosting site helps you with this. So, you'll need to find a host for your site and purchase a hosting plan from them. We highly recommend creating a self-hosted site. This is especially important if you want to make money from your blog. Self-hosting give you the most control over your blog.
To choose a hosting site, we recommend BLUEHOST (this link will open a new window to get set up). Bluehost is pretty cool in that they have excellent customer service, superior hosting and great prices!! It will cost you as little as $3.49 per month in hosting, plus a free domain is included.
Select your plan:
For someone just getting started, I recommend the Basic Plan on Bluehost (see image below). It starts out at only $3.49/month, which is perfect for someone just getting started. If you're looking for more options, The Plus Plan does have some pretty good added perks, so it might be something to look into – but you can always upgrade at a later time. Click on SELECT button on image below to check out your Bluehost plan.
You'll be charged up front for 1 year – but don't worry, if for any reason in the future you decide you aren't happy with Bluehost or decide to change to a different host later on, Bluehost will refund you the months you didn't use.
Choosing your domain…..
When signing up with Bluehost, you can choose your very own domain! This is the fun part – or it can be a confusing part for some… depending on if you have ideas already or not. As you know already, ours is healthyhappysmart.com named after our website. Here are some tips to follow when choosing your domain name:
– pick a '.com' domain
– should be easy to read
– short domains are best
– should be easy to remember
– no numbers or hyphens
Use the search box below to see if your domain name idea is available:
Step 2: Install WordPress!
After you're all signed up with Bluehost, you can now install WordPress!! Click here for directions on how to do that.
Step 3: Make your blog beautiful!
You want the site to look good right? Picking a WordPress "theme" is important in that it will be the look and feel of your new weight loss blog. You can go simple with a free theme of course. But I highly recommend you invest in buying a theme. It's usually a one time fee for a good one that has the following features:
- It should be well designed and created by someone who knows what they're doing.
- It should be user friendly – this will help you while you're designing your weight loss blog. You'll be able to easily adjust your logo, blog colors or sidebars without much tech know-how.
- It should be a responsive theme, meaning it will make your weight loss blog easily readable from a computer, tablet or a phone regardless of the screen size.
- The theme creator provides support! This means that if you ever have issues with the theme or setting up something on your weight loss blog, the support team will help you with any questions you have.
Finding a theme…
1. MyThemeShop
Our website theme is through MyThemeShop.com. We love it. It's so easy to navigate the tools and features they provide. We've been able to create a site that makes us happy and we are always tweaking things to make our site more beautiful everyday. The theme we got was $47 USD – so not bad for all the features it provides!
2. StudioPress
StudioPress is also really awesome. I've heard great things about their themes, too. Not only is the support top notch, but the themes fit all the requirements I listed above. You might want to check out their themes too.
The key is to search around and find what works best for you and your weight loss blog. Prices aren't too high for an awesome theme, and you won't regret making that investment. I promise you.
Once you get that all set up, you're on your way to success. You can start writing posts, helping yourself stay accountable, helping others connect with you and possibly earning an income.
Hope this guide to making your own weight loss blog was helpful. If you have any questions, email me: kelly (at) healthyhappysmart.com Or ask a question in the comments below.

I was browsing the net (looking for a new lense for my camera, 12-24mm f4 Nikon) and read about Ken Rockwell's thoughts on saving money. Thought some of them are quite good. I am thinking of ditching some of the Credit cards and closing some accounts, to save money. I really don't like being in debt. So i am trying to get out of it. Starting with my folks. They are in a crunch as well, with Dad not able to work full time and payments from the Government getting cut off etc. Maybe they should start a veggie garden in the front?? (Oh shit, why did i write that mum will do it!) That would save them lots. hehe, But Chickens in the backyard with a excited 2yr old black lab/collie is a BAD IDEA!
I'm not doing to badly with money at the moment. I have 2 full time jobs, so that is giving me lots of money with little time to spend it. I have been doing 14hr days for the last 2 weeks, with weekends off. I haven't been following Ken's ideas about no caffeine! It has sucked but at the same time i have enjoyed i. Working with people sort of has helped to make it more fun. (I work in a Beer store, so that keeps me on my toes. Filling fridges etc ) Knowing that im saving money for going home, and hopefully paying off debt! I am well on the way to reaching my goal for my trip at the end of the year. If i keep on it all summer, i will be set! Then i can start on the Line of Credit. Once that is paid off i need to save for my citizenship! I think i will always have 2 jobs of sorts. It makes sense to use the time your not able to do anything else earning money. I'm not saying to give up having friends and fun. Some thing that is 3-4 nights a week would be awesome. Still gives you time to have fun and enjoy life. I have told Second work that i need at least 1 full day off work, so i can recharge a bit and do things around the house. Like laundry, thou i do have a 1/2 wife in the house that would do it for me. lol NOT! Climb, haven't done that in a while. Should be able to get out when i get a night off and do it seeing that it stays light till around 10pm most nights and getting later! Woohoo!!
So yes, save your money, and don't spend it. LOL
