Time to add some bling to my portfolio
Yes, I'm talking about gold, starting with an established Canadian producer.
It is an established Canadian gold producer with operations principally in northwestern Quebec and exploration and development activities in Quebec, Ontario and Nevada. In addition, it owns producing properties in Finland and Mexico and is focused on the expansion and large-scale exploration program of its LaRonde Mine, which is expected to result in increased gold production and expanded gold reserves.
Gold is both a trading commodity and a major production component for the jewelry and electronics industries. As the economy recovers, the demand for jewelry will increase. Right now, the Europeans, Chinese and Russians are investing heavily in gold coins and bullion. Good producers like this can always make a profit.
Wall Street brokerages have 9 buy recommendations distributed to their clients based on some out of sight projections. They estimate that sales will increase by 122.40% this year and 25.80% next year. As the price of gold is expected to increase the projections for earnings per share are predicted to have increases of 162.30% this year, 42.50% next year and maintain a 5 year annual EPS growth rate of 59.00%. I can't ignore projections like this in the roller coaster market we are experiencing.
The recent price momentum is very positive. The stock hit 15 new highs in the last 20 sessions and has appreciated 17.18% in the last month. Barchart has an 80% technical buy signal and the stock trades above it's 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages. The 14 day Relative Strength Index is 72.35% and rising. The recent price of 65.10 is well above its 50 day moving average of 59.25.
The stock has a very large and positive following on Motley Fool with the CAPS members voting 1077 to 86 that the stock will beat the market and the All Stars agree 329 to 26.
I added the stock because:
- The production properties are in stable countries
- Gold can be used both as an investment and for jewelry and other products
- Wall Street projections for both sales and earning increases are very aggressive and they are pushing this stock to their clients
- The stock has a wide and positive general investor following
- Recent price momentum tells me we're not too late for the party.

Frass2 Meteorite
About the first of April I was contacted by one of the readers of MarsLife.com (I'll call him Ed to protect his identity) about a series of meteorite fragments that he had recovered on a friend's farm. These samples had been collected over a period of about five years. The original piece of the meteorite was brought to him by a friend that owned the farm. The rock had fallen on the farm. Ed then gained permission to look for more pieces of the meteorite. Over time, he was able to collect a number of samples that apparently came from two different falls that were near each other. He was able to map out the path of the meteorites and find a fall pattern that indicated one or both had broken apart in the sky before it landed. The largest piece (in the picture on the right) was broken off the "mother" piece shown on the left. Most of the other pieces were found separately, but apparently are from the same "mother" meteorite.
After he sent me pictures of his meteorite, I asked if he could send me a sample. The samples arrived mid May and I have had time to look at them through my microscope. The rock and many of the pieces appear to me to be a sister rock to the Frass Meteorite, therefore, I've temporarily named it Frass2 to protect it's owner. By all of my observations, this rock could have easily came from the same general location on Mars as the Frass Meteorite. NASA thinks that all of their Mars rocks have come from a hand full (3 or 4) Martian asteroid impacts that caused material to be transported to Earth. If this is true, then it would not be unusual for the Frass and the Frass2 to have common characteristics.
The most striking feature of the Frass2 is it's beautiful fusion crust. Allan Treiman is the only "scientist" to examine the Frass Meteorite and he claimed that the Frass was not melted enough to be a meteorite. The Frass is a very thin walled meteorite and handled the heat of entry into our atmosphere more like a space shuttle heat tile than a typical meteorite. I believe it belongs to a new class of meteorite which are newly formed from planetary actions, like the lava of Mars. The Frass2 also belongs to this class of meteorites, but it's fusion crust is unmistakable and undeniable. My hope is that the fusion crust of this second surface rock from Mars will impress the meteoritic community and will compel them to study both the Frass and the Frass2.
The Frass2 is also characterized by a butterscotch colored sand that is contained within it's vesicles and on the surface. Just as with the Frass, whatever material was on the outer surface is now melted as the fusion crust and in some places the sand itself is melted and presents a yellow fusion crust. Most other places the fusion crust is a black in color, although other colors can be found.
The sand in the Frass2 vesicles contains the remains of what appears to be plants. The appearance is very similar to items found in the Frass. They appear to be unfossilized remains of roots or other plant or tree parts. They are completely covered with the sandy material. No dates have yet been taken on the Frass2 meteorite, but it seems older to me than the Frass, which has its oldest date of creation at 50 million years ago.
Another interesting feature we see in the Frass Meteorite and on Mars appears in the Frass2 also. This is the existence of red and black/grey rock. In the Frass, I believe the red rock is actually older and has been in the presence of liquid water and that is what has oxidized the rock and made it red. The grey rock in the Frass is much younger and doesn't seem to have been wet. Here is the red black boundary layer in the Frass2.
The most interesting feature of the Frass2 is the existence of the same filaments as in the Frass Meteorite and as described and photographed by Morgellons people. This is additional evidence that these creatures have been riding meteorites from Mars to Earth for a very long time and that they continue to this date.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
So here's my question to my fellow hunters out there. Before coming to Northrend I had an Empty Mug of Direbrew and Bloodlust Brooch (Both had same stats: +72 AP and a use function that increases AP by 278 for 20 seconds). Is it worth it to swap one of these out for the Death Knight's Anguish? The added crit is nice and when it procs you can get up to 150 additional crit (not too shabby).

#Cablegate : #Hillary_Clinton découvre que les dettes, ça a un poids politique. Évoquant la #Chine en mars 2009, qui détient une importante partie des bonds du trésor émis par les États-Unis, elle se demande : « Comment peut-on tenir tête à son banquier ? »
Sujet traité par le Guardian :
Hillary Clinton's question : how can we stand up to Beijing ?
Hillary Clinton revealed America's deep anxiety over China's growing economic power and hold on US finances by asking Australia's then prime minister: "How do you deal toughly with your banker?"
The question, at a lunch with Kevin Rudd last March and reported in a US Department of State cable, underscores the evolving and often difficult relationship between the world's superpower and an increasingly mighty China. It is the largest holder of US treasury bonds, with around $870bn. Tensions are also highlighted in an economic dispatch, written by the US ambassador to Beijing last January, warning of a "rough" year for relations between the two countries and accusing China of hubris.
Et le câble en question :
PM Rudd said Chinese Politburo member Li Changchun had indicated Chinese leaders viewed the Secretary's recent visit to Beijing as a success and felt they could deal with the Obama Administration. The Secretary affirmed the U.S. desire for a successful China, with a rising standard of living and improving democracy at a pace Chinese leaders could tolerate, noting the impressive achievements in Chinese democracy at the village level. We wanted China to take more responsibility in the global economic sphere, create more of a social safety net for its people, and construct a better regulatory framework for the goods China manufactures. The Secretary also noted the challenges posed by China's economic rise, asking, "How do you deal toughly with your banker?"

If cases in the three worst affected countries continue to rise at the present rate, by the beginning of November more than 20,000 people in West Africa will have been infected. And despite earlier suggestions that this might be a less deadly strain of the Ebola virus, allowing half its victims to recover, the new figures show a much higher fatality rate, in the region of 70 percent. full report

Ummm… I usually just go for it? I don't plan out that whole draw-the-palm-as-a-circle then draw-lines-for-the-fingers chart thing…
When I visualize the hand, I pay attention to these lines.
and the rest is just whatever— I'm mostly aiming to make nice pretty lines—because look at them, those are some sweet curves. This is basically my process: (gif)
I purposefully try not to really concentrate on it too much. The stress isn't worth it at all.
And it's so much easier to come back to it later to fix up anatomy mistakes of even out the finger widths, etc. (if you're into that sort of thing hoohoo.)

I found these images in a folder on my hard drive. I remember I scanned them for someone once from a book. I figured I'd post them on here in case anyone is interested in some cat anatomy tips.

So my friend Night expressed a general desire for help with profiles, and I figured I'd go ahead and whip this up! I'm no anatomy master or anything, but this is stuff that helps me quite a bit, so I figured I'd share… even if I have no idea how helpful it actually is. Writing tutorials is hard! Ah well, I hope it can be of some use.

Piggie and Elephant books. Also, going to Six Flags.
What is you favorite thing to do with Mom?
Make silly faces, color, tickling and see places like Chuck E Cheese.
What do you wonder about?

"What I believe Geraldine Ferraro meant (is) if you take a freshman senator from Illinois called 'Jerry Smith' and he says I'm going to run for president, would he start off with 90 percent of the black vote? And the answer is, probably not.
"Would he also start out with the excitement of starting out as something completely different? Probably not. He would just be a freshmen senator ..."Geraldine Ferraro said it right. The problem is Geraldine Ferraro is white. This campaign has such a hair trigger on anything racial. It is almost impossible for anybody to say anything."--BET founder Bob Johnson

Thank you! Bob needs to STFU, for real. He has never been a voice for black people, only himself.

Because they are on their way out and they are running scared. I'd be more concerned if they didn't say anything. Who takes that idiot seriously? He's just paying his debt to his masters.
- April 16, 2008 at 5:03 PM
Argh! Bob Johnson is the lowest of the lowest.
Did anyone see the censored episode of the "Boondocks" that rips apart BET?
And, what about his defense of repealing the estate tax? An action that would only benefit around 50 African-Americans out of 40 million.

PS. If you still want to be part of the group, you should message us so we know to reserve your character.
In regards of ~legit action: a couple of people have contacted me about returning to the group and making a new account, which I would have help running.
It looks like we're not completely dead, especially since I might be getting help running the main in light of my complete non-motivation.
but to be quite honest — I don't really see the point any more. The majority of our members have quit or vanished and the other admins have all left, too. I don't have the motivation to do this by myself right now, or even to answer the dumb hatemail in our inbox.
I'm really, really sorry, but I can't promise that the revamp is still going to happen. The RPG has not closed, though. You're all still free to play your characters.
We have this one.
Other than that, you'll have to wait until the 'revamp', because I'm going to make a bunch of new bios and I currently only have four, so I'll be sure to make a character like that.
Please send us your account as soon as possible. :)
OOC Name: Dani
Of course! The character selection is just a little limited right now, and it's not all that active yet.
Me too, anon, me too. ):
Hopefully people will become interested again once I start posting new bios, eh? I just need to pick a date for that to happen. We only have a couple of members who still come around on a daily basis… I miss everyone.
Here are the FCs I've completed so far:
It's going pretty well so far. Anyone who wants to come and keep me company in the ask should come do so.

Utilizing a JBIG2 Encoder with No Information Lossposted by boo_radley at 9:19 AM on August 5, 2013 [3 favorites]
The JBIG2 specifications caution against using halftoning since this operation can seriously degrade the image. Similarly, the specs caution against using lossy JBIG2, which can introduce mismatches that degrade document quality, readability, and recognition rates.
The best way to understand such cautions with respect to JBIG2 is that the quality of the JBIG2 encoder is crucial. After all, image thresholding is potentially much more degrading than either font learning or halftoning since the part of the image that needs to be retained, e.g., signature, may disappear entirely. Yet most corporations capture their documents to black and white because they trust that the thresholding function is reliable, and that essential information in the image document will be preserved. They probably also test this assumption before putting their document imaging system into production.
It is important to understand that effective JBIG2 compression, with compression rates 5x-10x smaller than TIFF G4 (or standard G4-basedPDF), cannot be achieved with lossless JBIG2. Moreover, once a lossy JBIG2 encoder is utilized, it becomes essential for the IT manager or project leader responsible for document integrity to ensure that the JBIG2 converter supports perceptually lossless conversion.
I think the point is there may be a time in the future when it's not just compress-then-decompress but some sort of guessing algorithm that actually tries to make your decompressed voice sound clearer by basically making highly statistically supported guesses at what words you were trying to say. And so someone who, for all intents and purposes IS you, is then saying words that you never said because a computer was in the middle of the transaction, "helping."There is a similar plot point in Vernor Vinge's "A Fire Upon the Deep" (not much of a spoiler, since one of the protagonists worried about the problem right away) - over a low-bandwidth lossy communication channel the attackers just needed to mimic an over-simplified heavily-compressed intermediate data format, which the receiver's computers would helpfully reconstruct into convincingly detailed video + audio based on previous recordings from the same sender pre-attack.
"[it's] just conflating small connected regions whose differences fall below a threshold. Which is the core algorithm of lossy JBIG2.... I love it: The wikipedia page for JBIG2 is already updated with this issue."
"When you consider this particular issue stems from something close to a 8px x 16px glyph and the difference between correct and incorrect glyph is roughly 4px it isn't so hard to see how the lossy algorithm gets confused. Still, definitely a warning to know the tools you're using."In the PDF generation library I wrote for my company, you have to take specific steps to use JPEG2000 or JBIG2 and not just because they are add-on products, you need to think first before you use them.
The reader raised the quality from "normal" to a higher setting, which – counter-intuitively – reduced the readability of the scanned document, however, reduced the number of mangled numbers drastically (maybe even to zero).posted by We had a deal, Kyle at 8:03 AM on August 6, 2013 [1 favorite]

Ten great Android 4 features (screenshots)

8 of 10Image
If, like me, your phone company has recently let you know that your "unlimited" data plan has become very limited indeed, you'll appreciate Ice Cream Sandwich's data traffic monitor.
In addition, you can use the data traffic monitor to keep an eye on, and restrict, applications that may be using up your data throughput allowance. If you're a heavy data user, you're going to be tweaking your applications data usage with this feature all the time.
It's no Photoshop Express for Android, but Android's new built-in photo tools makes on the fly photography easier than ever. Many of Android's baked-in applications show similar feature and performance improvements.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I hate to jump in with the "I'm a lawyer in real life" argument, but I am, so here it is: You are having a hard time understanding the article because it is legally incorrect. There is absolutely no legal authority to support this being an income tax. Blizzard will, of course, also insert some contract language in the TOS which stated that gold has no intrinsic value, is for entertainment only, etc. It's probably already in there, but I don't like reading boilerplate contracts anymore than a non-lawyer. It would be no different from buying a shiny e-horse for $25.
If Blizzard allowed you to change your gold to currency, and Blizzard was sending you a check for US funds for turning in gold (lol at that ever happening) then, yes, you would have issues, especially in Europe with the VAT. It would be similar issues to what Second Life constantly goes through (fraud, etc.), but on a broader scale, and even they have eluded an outright slapping of illegality by the courts.
The most obvious issue which I didn't see in the article is that not selling gold forces people to actually play the game, and pay $15 a month to do it.

Overwhelmed with excitement.

All right. Songs like this make me question whether I have musical taste at all. Lengsel's album, The Kiss, The Hope, sampled above in the song, "Eternal Seven (Infinity)," arrived in my mailbox seven years ago after much waiting for its informal US distribution from a now semi-defunct mail order site. At first spin, I almost threw it away. Even though my jr. high/high school musical palate craved anything punk, metal, cacophonous, this was too much. From the opening song's single riff repeating for eight minutes to the meandering Russian and French spoken word parts, I was ready to give up on it. But knowing that this band's previous release had "breathtaking distortion, melody, and flow!" aided subsequent listens. And now it's probably, though perhaps arbitrarily, my favorite album. Equal parts comedy, noise, and serious "longing" (the Norwegian translation of the band's name), this album accomplishes so much; and its intermittent technicality pushes it above other "noise" or "post-" bands. By plain track listing, the songs go from lamenting over postmodernity's culture of pleasure, to rejoicing over sin and death and dismantling the "wax sensation" of the world. Perhaps I'm getting all of this wrong; but the record, both in method and content, seems to codify itself with "Eternal Seven," which shrieks:
"I no longer draw circles the way I used to do,
I simply mark the centre and close my eyes instead."
Harmony does not own beauty. Christ does. And even noise can point that out. Still, give it a listen. Ready to concede my lack of taste anytime.
*Edit: Musically, this is probably the worst song on the album. Don't let it decide the whole.
Whatever you're doing suddenly became more purposeful.
I dislike those fruit teas with cheaper leaves that discourage a second steep or even fruit teas at all which, featured in the finest aisle with the finest American company stamp (as tea shipped from oversea seems to lose its prestige on the journey), aid the job of sipping and pretend as though tea was not meant for bitter recreation.

Joe Hisaishi: "A Summer's Day."
Despite the terrible photograph, I attempted to text this image from the market to a friend. Graduating from college feels like waking up from a coma and finding your friends have scattered in a postmodern diaspora. When I first began college, he and I would babysit for a home Bible study, take whatever tips we received from the parents, and spend it on this tea, or defective peach rings ("nubs") from Dollar Tree. It smells like memory. But I also bought it for the box. Stash didn't always feature a picture of an orange on the front, and I like oranges, their pictures, and their general literary gravity (consider Larry Woiwode's short story, "Wanting an Orange," or Gary Soto's poem).
By the way, the text didn't send. An incident which would be symbolic if I hadn't noticed the poor signal in the store. I surmise that's symbolic too. A scanner dimly.

Andrew W. Mellon, 1855-1937
Andrew W. Mellon belonged to a remarkable American generation which witnessed the creation and accumulation of individual fortunes in unprecedented abundance by such men as Rockefeller, Ford, Carnegie, Morgan, and Frick. But among these figures, Mellon was unique in that he excelled in four fields of endeavor: as a businessman and banker; as a politician and statesman; as an art collector; and as a philanthropist.
The Mellons were Protestant immigrants from Northern Ireland, who had settled in western Pennsylvania in 1818. At an early age, Andrew joined his father Thomas, and his brother Richard, in the management of the family bank, T. Mellon and Sons, which soon became the prime financial agent in the transformation of western Pennsylvania into one of the richest industrial regions in the United States during the forty years before the First World War. Andrew Mellon was an extraordinary judge of entrepreneurial talent, and among the many companies he helped to found and fund were ALCOA, Carborundum, Koppers, and Gulf Oil. He rarely interested himself in the details of such businesses, but he acquired extensive holdings, which meant that by 1914 he was one of the richest men in the United States.
But Mellon was still almost unknown outside Pittsburgh, and it was only his appointment as Secretary of the Treasury in 1921 by Warren Harding which turned him into a national figure. He had long been active in Republican politics in Pennsylvania, he was strongly opposed to the League of Nations, and he delighted in bringing business practices into government. During his long period of office, Mellon cut taxes, enforced Prohibition, and presided over a period of such unprecedented financial prosperity that he was hailed as the greatest Treasury Secretary since Alexander Hamilton. But the Great Crash of 1929, combined with growing criticisms of his close business ties, meant Mellon lost the confidence of President Hoover, and early in 1932 he resigned from the Treasury, and was sent to Britain for a brief period as American Ambassador.
This was the end of Mellon's public career; but it was far from being the end of his life. Since the turn of the century, he had been collecting paintings-initially in the conventional manner of the Pittsburgh plutocracy, but on a larger and more discerning scale after his move to Washington. Urged on by Henry Clay Frick, and aided by Duveen and Knoedlers, Mellon specialized in Old Masters and British portraits, and by the early 1930s he had amassed the greatest collection of his generation. Indeed, at the very time his political career floundered, he scored his greatest triumph as a collector, purchasing twenty one masterpieces from the Hermitage in Leningrad for more than $6 million.
During his life, Mellon gave away nearly $10 million. Much of it went to educational and charitable institutions in his native Pittsburgh, but his most famous gift was of the money and the pictures to establish the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. Ironically, at the very time this benefaction was being negotiated with the Federal Government, Mellon was also being prosecuted for tax evasion. Roosevelt hated Mellon, as the embodiment of everything that was bad about the 1920s; Mellon vehemently denied the charges, and was eventually found not guilty of tax evasion. But he did not live long enough to learn of this decision, and nor did he see the opening of the National Gallery.
Soon after Andrew Mellon's death, his daughter, Ailsa Mellon Bruce, set up the Avalon Foundation, and his son, Paul Mellon, established the Old Dominion Foundation. Like their father, both children were generous benefactors to many causes, and in June 1969, these two organizations were merged to form the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation in his memory. Uniquely among his generation of American capitalists, there has been no published life of Andrew W. Mellon.
David Cannadine is Professor at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, and has authored a biography of Andrew Mellon, Mellon: An American Life, 2006, Knopf.

Reno, NV (Sports Network) - Malik Story scored a game-high 19 points as he led the Nevada Wolf Pack to a 69-56 win over the Cal Poly Mustangs in non- conference play at the Lawlor Events Center.
Also scoring in double figures for Nevada (6-4) was Jordan Burris with 13 points, while Jerry Evans came off the bench to add eight points and a game- high 14 rebounds as the squad won a second straight outing.
The Mustangs (3-4) were paced by Dylan Royer who dropped in 13 points and Brian Bennett with 10 as the team suffered a second loss in the last three games.
The Wolf Pack opened the meeting on a 9-2 run and never looked back, shooting not just 48.5 percent from the floor in the frame but also 8-of-12 behind the three-point line, en route to a 40-25 advantage at the break.
In the second half Nevada made just 1-of-7 attempts on the perimeter, but at the same time held the visitors to a mere 11-of-37 (.297) from the field as the hosts captured the double-digit win.
Nevada easily won the battle of the boards, 47-31, which helped the group to overcome 19 turnovers in the outing.
The Pack picked up the win despite leading scorer Deonte Burton, who was averaging 20.0 ppg heading into the meeting, coming away with just four points in 24 minutes of action.

EADS Agrees To Sell Socata to Daher
Socata–the Tarbes, France-based manufacturer of the TBM 850 turboprop single–will be majority owned by French-based aerostructure specialist Daher under an agreement reached yesterday with Socata parent company EADS. The transaction amount was not disclosed. Daher is acquiring a 70-percent stake in Socata and has an option to buy the remaining 30 percent in three years. The deal is still subject to approval by antitrust authorities in Europe and possibly in the U.S., according to a Socata spokesman. Daher has committed to keep a constant "perimeter of employment" for three years, a pledge that helped convince unions and the production committees to support the acquisition. The deal is expected to boost Socata's investment capacity, thus enabling the firm to proceed with development of the NTX, a new twin-turbine business airplane. The spokesman said the company remains on track to launch the NTX formally next year. He also clarified there is no plan to change Socata's name. EADS CEO Louis Gallois praised the formation of "a major player in aerostructures, business aviation and services."

TEAMS: Pittsburgh Pirates, Oakland Athletics
Source: Grilli back to #Pirates. Two-year deal. Pending physical. — Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) December 10, 2012 After a weirdly suspenseful week, word leaked out this afternoon that Jason Grilli will be back in Pittsburgh on a two-year deal worth $6.75 million. I am of two minds here: one is that the Pirates' obviously didn't trust any of their electric young right-handed bullpen arms (Victor Black, Bryan Morris, Duke Welker) enough to contribute down the stretch last year. Since then, Chris Resop was shown the door and Joel Hanrahan seems likely to be traded this winter, which means that the bullpen could be entirely made of those guys, who could quite possibly be very good relief pitchers but who are hugely untested. Grilli provides some nice stability in that situation and given his exploding strikeout rate and increase in velocity last year, it seems like there's a good chance he's found a groove with the Bucs that will make him more consistent ...

1. Re: How do I get my pictures from my album to my new phone?manik Mar 26, 2012 5:08 PM (in response to sw123456)
I don't have any experience with T-Mobile Album but check this and see if it helps:
My understanding is that the photos are not on the phone but rather on a T-Mobile server. To get the pictures I'm guessing you'll just have to log in and get them or if you can use your phone, you'll have access to them from that.
I'm sure a Tmo employee will fill you in on the details if you contact then directly.

Avidyne Introduces FMS400, R9 Pricing Levels
Using the stage at Oshkosh to make several product announcements, Avidyne introduced a lower-priced version of its next-gen flight management system called the FMS400 and rolled out three pricing levels for the Release 9 version of its Entegra integrated avionics system.

The avionics maker also introduced silver, gold and platinum levels for Entegra R9 spanning in price from $39,500 for silver, $59,000 for gold and $72,800 for platinum. The silver version includes a single ADAHRS and FMS400 while the platinum offering has dual ADAHRS, FMS900w, an FMS keyboard and synthetic vision.

Forty-six-year-old Scott Arnold is doing well, despite being the victim of a randomly shooting along a Michigan highway.
Arnold, the victim of a recent shooting along I-96, is up and walking, and in good spirits, although he's a little sore and must take some time off of work. He didn't want to talk on camera until the gunman is caught because of safety concerns, although he did speak to FOX 17 at length off camera.
The bullet hit Arnold on the left side of his rear-end and went into his hip-socket area before it stopped. It's lodged in the part of the socket where the hip bones appear to come together. He says the bullet may stay there the rest of his life because an operation would be too invasive.
Saturday Scott Arnold said he was driving to Detroit to watch the World Series game when he was hit by the flying bullet. The surveillance video taken from inside a service station shows him asking for help, and wincing in pain.
Although the story had been in the news, Arnold says he didn't expect to become a victim. He tells FOX 17 he was on the phone with his buddies that he was going to meet to watch the Tiger's game with when the bullet hit him.
Arnold says he heard a loud boom and thought the sound was a tire exploding and told his friends, "I've got to go" and hung up. Then he felt a pain in his hip and was surprised when he realized he'd been shot.
Arnold's money clip is now covered in blood, the bullet nearly missing it, leaving a reminder of how close it came to hitting a major artery.
"Now that someone has been hit, it kind of raises it up a bit. We are concerned where this guy might go next, says Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw."
Detectives say the shooter is believed to be using a 9 mm handgun. Arnold says police investigators wanted to pull the bullet out of him to get a better look, but his surgeon says the bullet is wedged too far in his body to remove. Arnold showed his X-ray, which details exactly where the bullet is lodged in his body. FOX 17 found a different X-ray and put a marker in that picture to give an idea where the bullet is lodged.
Arnold says another car was hit within half an hour of his on Saturday. Detectives were already very close by investigating that shooting when he walked into the service station to call for help.
He says his doctors are most concerned about infection in relation to the bullet wound because of all the materials the bullet passed through before it went into his hip. From the way the car was hit, Arnold thinks the shooter was either driving in the opposite direction on the other side of the highway, or was on the other side of the highway sitting in some trees or on a hill to get a shot.
Arnold says when he was hit, his car was the only one on the road. He believes the shooter may be targeting lone cars. He has heard that the other drivers who were shot at were alone as well, and not surrounded by other drivers when they were hit.

The Elder Scrolls IP has always been known for changing the conventional styles of most RPGs. Whether it be the large fully interactive world, in-depth game mechanics such as spell crafting and alchemy, or shaping the way you played your character, The Elder Scrolls Online will continue to push the barriers of the genre to new levels.
Choosing your class
While MMOs allow you to chose a class and then moves you along your path, the classes in TESO are more of a "springboard." While your class defines the skills in which your character will be able to use, it does not hinder you from choosing "how you play your world." One thing to point out is no matter what class you choose, ANY class can use all weapons and armor types. You are not restricted by your class to just cloth armor or medium leather. A healer can use the heaviest armor with the largest warhammer in Tamriel – and not be hindered by the choice.
The normal Health, Magicka and Stamina trees are present in this game, and depending on which path you focus on during leveling will grant you specific perks along your adventures. For example: after putting a couple of perk points in the Magicka tree, it not only increases the Magicka available for you to use, but it also grants you a bonus against Magicka damage. The way in which you spend your skill points will affect the type of gameplay you choose down the road. Obviously someone with high Health might end up focusing more on tanking, while someone with high Magicka will focus on skills and weapons that use that pool.
During the media summit there were two playable classes: Templar and Dragonknight. The Dragonknight was your agressive, melee oriented character, adept at dealing damage in large quantities quickly. Your Templar was a mixture of damage and healing, sort of paladin-esque. This game had some skills that were also granted bonus damage based on your stamina, thus giving you a reason to add points into your path-trees. Other classes will be in the game such as a Sorceror, Warden and Nightblade to name a few.
Playing the world your way
This is a common mantra from the development team and something that is at the heart of The Elder Scrolls as a whole. While there is no "skill tree" as we know in the modern MMO, there will be branches of your development that you choose to play your way. For example, when you gain a certain level, a new skill might open that prompts you to make a choice. You can choose a path that will be more DPS heavy, or you can choose a path that is more defensive. This type of development has been hinted at in other games, but not nearly this in depth.
As stated earlier, each class can use any and all weapon types in this game. Whether you want to be a mage who is proficient with a Bow when he needs to be, or a tank who specializes in two-handed swords, you have no restrictions placed on you. That is the major idea behind how you play your character: No restrictions. You play the way you want to and the game follows suit.
Choosing your weapon
Weapons in The Elder Scrolls series have always defined your playstyle, and not the class you choose. Sword carrying players will undoubtedly be more of a close-range attacker, where a person who specializes in Mage's staffs will tend to stick close to the back of a group. Your weapon choice in TESO will define your character and not the class you choose. Nick Konkle, Zenimax's Gameplay Lead, put it best when he said: "Towards the end of the game you'll find that the character you're playing is nothing like what you started out with." Potentially the character you customized will be nothing like what you originally created. The example he gave was going back to the Templar. While the Templar is envisioned to be a heavy armored damage dealing class, your weapon and armor choices can change that character into a robe-wearing magicka user.
Each class is not set up to have an advantage over the other when using a weapon, rather they will be different for each class. As you use these weapons, as previously stated in articles already released your proficiency will increase as you use that particular weapon. As you level your weapon, you will also unlock new skills to effect how you use that weapon. These skills will level independently from your normal class skills, and will change depending on the weapon you are currently using.
Planning your development
Taking into account the highly customizable nature that weapons and armor give you, as well as the attributes you obtain through leveling up either Health, Magicka and Stamina, you begin to understand the scope in which TESO allows you to make the character that is only limited by the player's imagination. This is also prominently featured via an intuitive interface that helps you strategize on path you want to take. Each weapon type is listed in its own window, complete with drop down menus with a horizontal tree that shows, at the corresponding weapon level, each skill you will earn and even at what point the weapons skills split to become more role specific. This will help the player decide what they want to focus on and start to move their weapon proficencies and focus towards that goal.
Character development in games is one of the major sticking points of a great title, and is also one thing The Elder Scrolls have consistently done right. The developers have created something fresh and revolutionary with the implementation of this mechanic, as is the only way to make an Elder Scrolls game. As time moves on this will only become more refined and polished, creating one of the most unique – and gratifying experiences in the gaming industry to date.
