The Levy County Department of Emergency Management in partnership with the WeatherSTEM Company has now made it much easier and more accurate for citizens of Levy County to check their local weather conditions.
Richard Howell served his country and for his service in Vietnam he was left disabled, using a wheel chair and still carries bullets in his back.
The former Navy gunner's mate on a swift boat is not bitter about that, but he is bitter that some thief or thieves have stolen two conventional wheelchairs from his carport while he was out using a third electric wheelchair.
He said the theft was deliberate because the person had to come inside the fence on his property to gain access to the wheel chairs ― one of which reclines.
James Mitchell "Mitch" Harrell, emergency operations chief at the Gilchrist County Department of Public Safety, will become director of the Levy County Department of Public Safety on Sept. 1, according to Assistant County Coordinator Wilbur Dean.
Dean said Harrell accepted the county's offer of $79,000 to start in the position with an increase to $85,000 after six months on Friday.
After two staff studies and much discussion on Monday, the Chiefland City Commission decided to renew its garbage pickup contract with Waste Pro.
City manager Mary Ellzey opened the discussion saying whether No. 1 ranked bidder Waste Pro of Fanning Springs or No. 2 WCA of Gainesville got the contract "residential customers will see savings, some commercial will see savings." The third bidder was Advanced Disposal.
She also noted that lower prices for garbage hauling also mean the city's 82 percent franchise fee will bring in less money.

A Branford woman died on Thursday, July 28, at 12:25 when her vehicle went off U.S. Highway 19 at State Road 24 in Otter Creek and overturned ejecting her, according to the Florida Highway Patrol report.
The first of four candidate forums began with a resounding message from Tammy Jones, Supervisor of Elections. Aug. 30 is THE election.
Because only Republican candidates are vying for county races, winners will be decided when Levy County voters head to the polls in a month.
That means when registered Democrats get their ballots in August, there will be Republican candidates on it, Jones said, despite the fact this is a primary election.
Saturday's candidate forum, sponsored by Williston AARP Chapter 912 and Citizens for an Engaged Electorate, drew several questions and raised many more that were left unanswered due to time constraints.
What follows are the paraphrased questions and answers.
Superintendent of Schools
Q: What changes to standards, curriculum and testing do you support?
Jerry Lawrence: There's too much teaching to test, he said, and it takes away from what students need to learn. He supports working toward the elimination of so much testing.
Florida's three-day back-to-school sales tax holiday will run from Aug. 5 through Aug. 7. The holiday begins Friday, Aug. 5, at 12:01 a.m.
During the holiday period, no sales or local option tax will be collected on purchases of "clothing, footwear, and certain accessories selling for $60 or less per item." Additionally, applicable school supplies that costs $15 or less per item will also be exempt from sales taxes.
Visit www.myflorida.com/dor for more information on eligible items.
A Williston man has been arrested on multiple charges of having sex with an underage girl and is being investigated for similar activity with a second underage girl, according to the Levy County Sheriff's Office.
Dillon Arnold Bird, 24, of Williston was arrested after Sheriff's Sgt. Mike Narayan and Investigator Mike Wilkinson met with the parent of a 17-year-old-female. The parent reported discovering evidence that the daughter had been involved in a sexual relationship with Bird.

Microsoft Dispels $399 Xbox One Rumours
Written Monday, February 03, 2014 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Microsoft has debunked last week's rumours surrounding a cheaper model of Xbox One, speculated for release at the lower, more competitive price point of $399. Said rumour originated on NeoGAF as most of these things do, amid a whole plethora of speculation regarding various plans supposedly being concocted by Microsoft.
These rumours included a 1TB console and a disc-less machine. Chief of Staff for Devices and Studios Group at Microsoft Aaron Greenberg had the following to say on the matter.
@TheAnchormanV No, you cannot believe everything you read on the internet.. — Aaron Greenberg (@aarongreenberg) February 1, 2014
Meanwhile, Microsoft Studios boss Phil Spencer lamented the glut of rumours circulating, dubbing the situation a "bummer".
@xUNIFIEDx No comments on all the posts obviously but is kind of a bummer. Gets people worked up over things that we didn't say. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) February 1, 2014
As we observed originally, an Xbox One price cut is inevitable at some point, but some of the rumours from last week are more likely than others. For instance, Forza Horizon 2 sounds like a fair shout, as does Crackdown 3 for 2016 and Halo 2: Anniversary. As ever though, take rumours with a pinch of salt. Time will tell whether any of the speculation actually comes to anything.

AL Capsules
NEW YORK -- Jeremy Hellickson retired Yankees newcomer Alfonso Soriano with the bases loaded to preserve an early lead and the streaking Tampa Bay Rays tagged CC Sabathia once again, beating New York 10-6 Friday night.
The Rays have won 20 of 23 and took sole possession of the AL East lead for the first time since June 10, 2012. Tampa Bay moved a half-game ahead of Boston.
Ben Zobrist, Yunel Escobar and Evan Longoria doubled during a six-run burst in the second inning, and James Loney later homered and drove in four runs.
Well supported all season, Hellickson (10-3) won his sixth straight decision. Fernando Rodney, the Rays' fourth pitcher in a three-run ninth, got the last out for his 25th save.
Sabathia (9-9) was booed early and was hit hard for the third straight start, allowing 22 runs over 14 innings in that span.
CLEVELAND -- Ryan Raburn's three-run homer in the 11th inning off Jason Frasor gave Cleveland a wild and sloppy win over Texas.
After Asdrubal Cabrera and Carlos Santana singled off Frasor (0-2), Raburn pulled a 2-1 pitch onto the home-run porch in left to rescue the Indians, who blew a 7-1 lead and nearly lost to a Texas team that committed three errors and had three wild pitches.
As he neared home plate, Raburn flipped his helmet high into the air and was pummeled by his teammates who doused him with water. It was the seventh walk-off win this season for the Indians, who began a stretch of 14 of 17 games at home.
Bryan Shaw (1-2), Cleveland's fifth reliever, stranded the go-ahead run at third in the 11th, and the Indians stayed within three games of first-place Detroit in the AL Central.
BALTIMORE -- Chris Tillman pitched seven innings of two-hit ball, Adam Jones homered twice and Baltimore ended a three-game skid.
The loss dropped the Red Sox behind Tampa Bay in the AL East. Boston, which has dropped six of nine, had been alone atop the division since May 27.
Tillman (13-3) tied a career high with eight strikeouts in becoming the Orioles' first 13-game winner since Erik Bedard in 2007. In his past three starts against Boston, the right-hander is 3-0 with a 0.68 ERA.
Jones hit a two-run homer in the first and a solo shot in the fifth to help Baltimore bounce back from three successive losses in Kansas City. It was the third multihomer game of his career.
Manny Machado and J.J. Hardy also homered for the Orioles, who improved to 6-2 against Boston this season.
John Lackey (7-8), who yielded a season-high tying five runs in 6 1-3 innings, gave up three of the homers.
TORONTO -- Edwin Encarnacion hit two home runs in one inning, including his sixth career grand slam, Jose Reyes, Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie also went deep and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Houston Astros 12-6 on Friday night.
Encarnacion became the first Blue Jays player in nearly 20 years to homer twice in the same inning when he accomplished the feat in the seventh against Paul Clemens (4-4) and Hector Ambriz. For Encarnacion, the home runs were his 27th and 28th of the season, the third-most in baseball behind Chris Davis and Miguel Cabrera.
Colby Rasmus had four hits and Reyes three as the Blue Jays won consecutive games for the first time since their franchise-record tying 11-game winning streak ended on June 24. Toronto had gone 8-19 since.
Brett Cecil (4-1) pitched two thirds of an inning for the win, handing the Astros their 21st loss in 26 games.
DETROIT -- Alex Avila's two-run double in the fifth inning put Detroit ahead, and Doug Fister pitched eight impressive innings to help the Tigers beat the Phillies.
Cole Hamels (4-13) was trying to protect a 1-0 lead for the Phillies when he allowed the bottom of Detroit's batting order to break through. After a one-out walk to Hernan Perez, Ramon Santiago and Avila hit back-to-back doubles.
Santiago was playing third base in place of slugger Miguel Cabrera, who hasn't played since Monday because of an injured left hip.
Fister (9-5) allowed three hits and an unearned run. Joaquin Benoit pitched the ninth for his 10th save in 10 chances. Darin Ruf grounded out with a man on third to end it.

MSI GeForce GTS 450 Cyclone 1GB Video Card
Power Consumption Tests
Using our new PROVA Power Analyzer WM-01 or "Power Thingy" as it has become quickly known as to our readers, we are now able to find out what kind of power is being used by our test system and the associated graphics cards installed. Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Compared to the Galaxy, power draw is a little lower in both idle and load. Like we mentioned in our Galaxy review, though, we're not really dealing with big numbers here anyway.

Please visit and review this Tumblelog theme from Sandbox at:
Please visit and review this Tumblelog theme from Sandbox at:
way too thin, I can only imagine what it would look like on my laptop.
I've not seen many wide Tumblelogs.
The sidebars are at the bottom, so all you see is content.
Most wide websites' actual content reading area is rarely over 400 or 500px. You think it should go wider even for a Tumblelog effect? Or maybe just more negative space?
oh, I must not know what a tumblelog is ..
now i know.
congratulations on your new theme! For a tumblelog format your theme looks awesome. If there's anything I'd like to add, though, I'd love it if you add a default background color (#fff) to the posts area, so people who disable image on their browser will still be able to read the text (currently it's dark grey on dark grey.
I love the transparent top nav effect too. Overall, nice theme!
whooami - Sorry I didn't explain the Tumblelog. I know they are fairly new, and that is part of the reason I'm trying to get a "tumblelog" theme together for WordPress
Hafiz - Thanks a lot! I now have a default background color for those who browse without images.
add a forum to your site
raptrex - I've added a forum to the site - using bbpress and looking forward to learning/implementing more of it.

Army of Me (Björk song)
|"Army of Me"
|Single by Björk
|from the album Post
|April 21, 1995
|One Little Indian
|Björk singles chronology
"Army of Me" is a song by Icelandic recording artist Björk. It was released on April 21, 1995 by One Little Indian as the lead single from her 1995 solo album Post. The song was written and produced by Björk and Graham Massey, who helped her in producing and writing the majority of her third album. "Army of Me" was a commercial success, and the first single from Björk to enter in the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Lyrically, the song was inspired by the damaging behavior of Björk's brother, and in the lyrics she tells him to stand up and to regain control of his life. The song was well received by music critics, who noted its darkness and praised Björk's energy.
Björk premiered the song on some gigs during the Debut Tour before the release of the album. She performed it in a series of TV appearances, and notably, for the first time on Top of the Pops with Skunk Anansie. Additionally, the song was performed on every date of the Post Tour. The song was featured on Björk's compilation album, Greatest Hits (2002).
The song's music video was the product of another collaboration between Björk and Michel Gondry. It features Björk driving an enormous vehicle through a city, and includes Björk fighting with a gorilla for re-obtaining a diamond, and putting a bomb in a museum to free a boy.
In 2004, Björk, to help the UNICEF, released a charity benefit compilation entitled Army of Me: Remixes and Covers, which featured a series of covers and remix by artists from all over the world.
"I'm a polar bear and I'm with five hundred polar bears, just tramping over a city. The lyric is about people who feel sorry for themselves all the time and don't get their shit together. You come to a point with people like that where you've done everything you can do for them, and the only thing that's going to sort them out is themselves. It's time to get things done. I identify with polar bears. They're very cuddly and cute and quite calm, but if they meet you they can be very strong."
"Army of Me" was written in 1992 by Björk and Graham Massey, during one of the first recording for Debut, along with "The Modern Things", but Björk decided to put the songs on hold and to wait for releasing them.[4] Even so, Björk performed the songs during some dates on her Debut Tour[5] and on some dates "Army of Me" was called "If you complain once more".
The lyrics of the song are about Björk's brother, as revealed by the singer[6] and show Björk daring him to move up and find a job to keep his life on, and also for him to not fall into bad things and learn to defend himself: "It's actually written to a relative of mine who had been a bit out of order for a while. I'm not sure why I wrote it. Maybe I felt that Debut had been such a polite, shy album - there was a side of me that was so shy and such a beginner, I was very flattered when everyone loved Debut but also a bit confused because it wasn't really me. Maybe "Army Of Me" was an attempt to balance it out".[7]
The singer further explained the lyrics: "Imagine you're in a club full of heavy metal types and grunge people; 'Army of Me' is like someone's granny blasting out over the PA and saying, 'Snap out of it! Stop whining! Wash your hair! Smarten yourself up!'".[8]
The single was released on April 21, 1995 as a 2CD edition. The first CD contained the Icelandic version of "You've Been Flirting Again" and the cave version of "Cover Me", both from Post. The cave version of "Cover Me" was recorded in a cave in Bahamas, and sounds of flying bats can be heard in the background. The single also contained "Sweet Intuition", a song composed by Björk and Black Dog, whose lyrics will be the base of the composing for another song written by Björk for Madonna: "Bedtime Story". The second CD contained, among other remixes, a version of "Army of Me" which features Skunk Anansie. The track was recorded and mixed in less than 7 hours, as recalled by the band[9] and features Björk making heavy use of screaming vocals.

The song partially samples the drum line of "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin.[10]
The song is dominated by a heavy bass line and features synthesizer. Mim Udovitch has described the song as "grinding techno fusion".[11]
The song's melody and bass line are in Phrygian mode, which is unusual for a pop song.
Critical reception [edit]
The song was well received from music critics. Some noted that Björk was distant from the "pixie" image of the first album,[12] with Jen Appel praising the singer's attitude by saying: "With lyrics such as "If you complain once more / you'll meet an army of me," Björk instantly proves she is a force to be reckoned with".[13] Eric Handerson of Slant Magazine found that the song "provocatively merges a Weather Report-esque jazz-fusion bass riff with a heavy-timbered rock drumbeat to match her contemptuous vocal delivery ("Self-sufficience, please!")[14]
Natalie Curtis described the song as "inelegant",[15] on a similar note, Mim Udovitch of Rolling Stone dubbed it as "ominous, anthemic",[11] with Lou Stathis of MTV stating that "Army Of Me" is "booming, martial-march techno".[16] According to Brantley Bardin of Details "Army of Me" is "the album's straightest song, a manifesto about self-sufficiency",[17] while for Liz Hoggard of The Observer the track is "brutal yet tender".[18] Stuart Maconie of Q praised the song by stating that its lyrics carries "bold and refreshing sentiments for a rock song. Refreshingly Icelandic sentiments"[8] and further stating that ""Army Of Me" not only sounds fabulous—Led Zeppelin and techno welded together into a surging, operatic whole—but possesses a briskly pull-yourself-together tone. "Stand up, you've got to manage .../You're all right, there's nothing wrong/...get to work/and if you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me".[8]
In a very positive review, Heather Phares of Allmusic stated that "Atypical in its relative starkness and darkness, "Army of Me" casts Björk against type as a warrior goddess fed up with whining, instead of her usual cyber-pixie persona. The first single from 1995's otherwise buoyant Post and a featured track on the Tank Girl soundtrack, as well as in the film. The song's pounding industrial beat, menacing synth bass, and unusually aggressive lyrics ("And if you complain once more/You'll meet an army of me") stand in sharp contrast to the rest of the album and to most of her previous work. However, "Army of Me" seems like a precursor of the dark, introspective tone and sparse electronica arrangements of Björk's next album, 1997's Homogenic. The song was also turned into another video collaboration between Björk and her longtime director, Michael Gondry. The clip depicts Björk as a tank girl of sorts who goes to the dentist (which happens to be a gorilla) to have a sore tooth pulled—only to have it turn into a giant diamond, which she uses to fuel her tank. Like the song, it all makes sense in Björk's surreal, intellectually playful way".[19]
According to The New York Times writer Joy Press ""Army of Me" is so menacing and inorganic-sounding it verges on industrial rock",[20] and in a review, Pulse! defined the song "a staggering juggernaut of a track".[21] While reviewing Post, Andy Smith of "The Providence Journal" stated that "Post is an eclectic affair, opening with the assertive industrial clang of "Army of Me"".[22]
In 1995, "Army of Me" won an Icelandic Music Award for Song of the Year.[23] The song was also ranked #316 in Blender magazine's The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born.[24] In 2012, the song was ranked #71 in Consequence of Sound's Top 100 Songs Ever.[25]
The song received a wide coverage from other artists. German metalcore band Caliban covered this song on their 2006 album The Undying Darkness. The female vocals on the chorus were recorded by Tanja Keilen. Belgian metal band Silent covered this song on their 2005 self-titled demo. The alternative metal/post-hardcore band Helmet recorded a cover of "Army of Me" which was released on a Music for Our Mother Ocean benefit compilation. The Australian metal band Many Machines on Nine covered "Army of Me" on their self-titled 2000 EP. A jazz cover was released by the Yaron Herman Trio on their album A Time for Everything in 2007. Abandoned Pools, an alternative rock band have also covered the song, which is available on The Reverb EP. Powerman 5000 released a cover of this song on their The Good, the Bad and the Ugly Vol. 1 compilation. Sin, a French industrial band, covered the song, available on Errare Digital Est, Recall 2003. Oliver Weers, a Danish rock vocalist made semi-famous by his participation in the Danish X Factor in 2008, released a heavy metal-style cover version of "Army of Me" in 2008 on an album entitled Get Ready. Australian alternative metal band Beanbag covered the song on their 2001 second album Welladjusted. English rock band Drama recorded a cover of the song to perform at the 2010 UK Live & Unsigned regional final in Manchester, March 7. Polish progressive metal/post-metal band Proghma-C recorded a cover version on their debut album Bar-do Travel, 2009. French progressive metal band Klone also recorded a cover of the song as a bonus track on their 2010 album Black Days. Italian nu metal band Exilia recorded a cover of this song on their album Can't Break Me Down in 2005.
In 2005, Björk opened a contest to choose from various remixes for the song, to release a compilation to help raise funds for charity.[26] Over 600 remixes were submitted[27] and Björk was helped in the choosing of the tracks by fellow writer and composer Graham Massey. The compilation, called Army of Me: Remixes and Covers was released in May 2005 and as of January 2006, the album had raised around £250,000 to help UNICEF's work in the south east Asian region.[28]
Usage in media [edit]
In addition to appearing in the Tank Girl in 1995, the song was included in the soundtrack of Sucker Punch with further instrumentation by Skunk Anansie and remixing by Marius de Vries.
Music video[edit]
For the music video of the song, Björk collaborated again with Michel Gondry, who directed her video for "Human Behaviour" in 1993. Godry and Björk would keep on collaborating until 2011 when the video for "Crystalline" was released. In the strange music video, Björk is the driver of a tanker truck. The singer said that she wanted to capture that "tanker-truck" feeling, the sense of a big machine grinding unstoppably through town"[29] and further stated: "I thought I should be driving a very, very big truck to try to wake this person who's asleep, so I get the biggest truck in the world, and I'm so mad I've got metallic teeth, because when you're really angry, you grind your teeth. So I have to go to the dentist, who tries to steal away from me a diamond I don't know I have".[29]
The dentist is actually a Gorilla, and Björk explained:
When Michel [Gondry] gets his strokes of genius and, in the video for 'Army of Me', wants a dentist that's a gorilla to find a diamond in my mouth, some people call it nonsense. But it's probably the most realistic way of expressing what situation I'm in - all these people trying to take things away from me, and the gorilla finding a diamond that I don't know I have and then stealing it. "Army of Me" is so much about me actually learning that I have to defend myself. I have to stand up and fight the fucking gorilla. Once I've got the diamond and I run away with it, it becomes massive 'cos it's mine. But if the gorilla had kept it, it would have gone really tiny. That's surrealism for me.[30]
Björk and her label declined to use footage from the film Tank Girl (which features the track on its soundtrack) in the music video for "Army of Me".[31]
The music video opens with Björk, clad in a black karate gi, driving a large vehicle that's carrying a man in cryonic slumber in a city, but the passers seem to ignore the mass of the vehicle. The vehicle begins to sputter and slow, prompting Björk to check the motor. Before floating off the vehicle, she turns to the camera and shows metallic teeth. The vehicle's engine assembly consists of a mouth in which all of the teeth appear rotten, comically exaggerated by a shaggy-looking man engulfed in a stench-cloud crawling out of the mouth and offending passers-by.
Björk touches her cheek, appearing to have a toothache, and proceeds to a nearby dentist's office. While she's going to the room of the dentist, her image appears reflected in a series of mirrors that make it impossible to distinguish her real self. She is examined by the dentist, an anthropomorphic gorilla, who discovers a diamond in her mouth. The dentist attempts to steal the diamond for himself, but Björk leaps onto his back and pummels him, and retrieving the diamond, escapes the office. She takes the diamond back to her vehicle, all the while it multiplies in size until she is barely able to carry it. Björk tosses the diamond into the vehicle's mouth, apparently correcting its earlier affliction.
She then drives to a museum and proceeds inside, carrying a satchel containing a bomb. The museum is full of surrealistic things like mirrors reflecting non-existent people. Sneaking past the museum's guards, she places the bomb on one of the exhibits, a man lying on an altar in a deep sleep. She then bolts toward the museum's exit, concerning the guards and other patrons. She makes it out of the building just moments before the bomb explodes. After the explosion, she re-enters the building to find all the unarmed visitors and the man from the altar, who appears to have been just wakened by the blast. Björk hugs him, crying teardrops of jewels.
The video was well received by critics. Tim Walker of The Independent thought that "catchy, commercial song that was utterly original, and she's easily beautiful enough to have taken advantage of her sexuality in the video, but instead she got Michel Gondry to make a brilliant promo about her going to a gorilla dentist to get a huge diamond pulled out of her mouth".[32] Gondry visual imagery was heavily praised: "Gondry is a treat with visual details in defining his realities, and he provides in "Army of Me." The museum sequence furnishes an example: Before Björk bombs it, there are many artworks on the walls, each piece reflecting the apparent banality of the museum. One area shows a person observing a work which is a painting of a person in an art museum observing a work. After the explosion, everything is torn apart, bathed in smoke. Björk comes and retrieves her loved one, crying small diamonds onto his shoulder".[33]
In 1995, The video was nominated for two MTV Video Music Awards, one for Best Special Effects in a Video and one for International Viewer's Choice Awards - MTV Europe, losing the former to "Love Is Strong" by The Rolling Stones and the latter to "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" by the U2.
The video was often shown truncated on MTV, cut off before the bomb goes off. There exists some version of the music video which censored the explosion of the bomb, and some showing "To Be Continued" at the end.[33]
Live performances [edit]
The song was performed in a few appearances. Björk premiered the song a day before the release of the single, on April 20, 1995, on Top of the Pops, with the Skunk Anansie. This particular performance featured additional vocals by Skin. Björk performed the song live on Italian musical show Festivalbar and on The White Room, along with "I Miss You".
The song was performed on the Debut Tour before the official release. The performance on the Post Tour was called "explosive" by Adrien Begrand of PopMatters[34] and was released on Live Box, in the Post Live CD, with the same performance being released on Björk's video Live at Shepherds Bush Empire. The song was performed on the Vespertine World Tour, where it was accompanied by Zeena Parkins. The performance was called "extra-gritty"[35] and the accompaniment of Parkins was described as giving the song "fresh urgency".[36]
The song was performed on the Greatest Hits Tour and on the Volta Tour, with the latter performance being included on Voltaïc, both in the live version recorded at the Olympic Studios in London, and in the DVD Live in Paris.
The song was performed again in summer 2012 in Lollapalooza Chile as part of the Biophilia Tour replacing most of the instrumental part with a Tesla coil.

NZSKI is short-listing and interviewing applicants for the
position of Coronet Peak ski area manager, after the
departure of long-time NZSki employee Hamish McCrostie in
NZSki chief executive James Coddington said more than 60

said, but he was hopeful NZSki would have someone in place

Portal 2
You guys seen the new Portal 2 videos? they look great!
Yeah it's wicked stuff, I cannot wait for co-op Portal!
How long said resistance lasts is of course anyone's guess. :rolleyes:
oh, well, you wouldn't like then any way. They just show the really cool graphics, and the new things to play with, thats all.
Interested in co-op, here's the teaser trailer:
Portal 2 Video Game, Exclusive Co-Op Trailer HD | Video Clip | Game Trailers & Videos | GameTrailers.com
Yes I know NAM, but it's only 30 seconds. :rolleyes:
Man, I gotta play Portal 1 first....
Never got around to it because I didn't want to buy Orange Box.
I'll have to watch for discount days on Steam.
Man u missed when they were giving it away...They'll probably do a P2 pre-order deal that gifts P1 as well
I enjoy Portal ...but I struggle with it a bit. It's not just the feeling of nausea I get in some areas (bounce through there, then over there, zoom across to there, through the floor...etc etc) but I also struggle a bit with the puzzles. I am big enough to admit I'm not quite logic enough for this not to be painful sometimes.
Portal 2 looks absolutely fantastic. Will I buy it....once again...I am big enough to admit I probably wouldn't get very far before I would be totally stuck and staring at the screen like a pole-axed bear. Maybe one day...
Wow. I like the inclusion of the slippery fluids. This should be one game that won't disappoint.
Ok, so I bought Portal 1 for fathers day and I was finished by 4pm.....
So... ummm... when is Portal 2 coming out?
I'm sure the questions have been asked millions of times before, but since today was my first time ever to play Portal, I'll ask all over again.
Is the charater you play an andriod or human?
Throughout the game there are references to others that have tried to escape before you with left over stashes of food and water. At one time the Boss refers to you as an andriod. At the end of the game when your sucked to the surface you seem to be dragged back to the facility with some functioning ability (as in you see the debris falling around you but cannot see what is dragging you back to facility).
Is the character always female?
There is a refernce to bring your daughter to work day. Trailers don't seem to show much.
So why does Aperture run without any humans?
There are empty places everywhere with empty seats, radios, etc. There was a refernece that all humans have died out. There is a refence by Boss that it tried to kill everybody with (nerve?) gas but was stopped.
What is the purpose of the testing?
I couldn't seem to find a purpose to it all. Good Valve story telling by not telling a story but reading it with the events/stashes/quotes going on around you. But no purpose as to why you do the test.
Who else recons thats the best damn endgame song ever?

Wildlife/Aquatic Toxicology
The Department of Environmental Toxicology and The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) at Texas Tech University invite applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Biostatistics beginning September 2016. Opportunities exist for joint and/or affiliate appointment in the Departments of Mathematics & Statistics, Public Health (TTU Health Sciences Center) and the Center for Biotechnology & Genomics, depending on mutual interest.
The Department of Environmental Toxicology and The Institute of Environmental and Human Health (TIEHH) at Texas Tech University invite applications for a nine-month tenure-track Assistant Professor in Wildlife or Aquatic Toxicology beginning August 2016.
The successful candidate will enter a dynamic research and academic environment with many opportunities to collaborate with scientists across a diverse range of disciplines.
Why TIEHH?
Amanda ParraPh.D."TIEHH provided me with hands-on training on analytical instrumentation and valuable courses for a career in the environmental health field. I have enjoyed being part of the graduate program and also having the chance to present my research at multiple conferences. Now after four years I am confident in my transition into a professional career in environmental chemistry and ecological risk assessment."
Dan DawsonPh.D."The reason I came to TIEHH was partially of convenience(I was at TTU already because of my wife), and partially because I thought that a PhD in Env Tox would offer more potential employment opportunities my alternatives at the time(Natural Resource Management, Biology). That said, my experience here has been generally excellent and I'm happy to recommend it, even if I only lucked into it. I have found that because Environmental Toxicology overlaps with some many fields, and because TIEHH has a knowledgeable and diverse faculty, research opportunities for graduate students at TIEHH are easy to find. This is reflected in the wide variety of careers that graduates of TIEHH have moved into. I would say that TIEHH also provides a positive overall student experience, with good core classes, wonderful staff, and a generally cordial working environment. Based on my experience, I think that any student that is interested in studying the impacts of chemicals in the environment should strongly consider TIEHH for their graduate work."
Jessica Mauricio
M.S."Making the life-changing decision to attend graduate school is difficult. Finding a place that feels like a home away from home is even harder. I'm very glad that I chose TIEHH. The professors make themselves available and are innately interesting. The students stick together and are friendly. Lubbock has a big city feel while still having small town charm. "
Adric Olson
Ph.D."There are a number of factors that led to me coming to TIEHH to get my doctorate. First and foremost was the opportunity to do interesting research of my own and to participate in the exciting work others were doing. Another reason I wanted to come to TIEHH was the track record the department has with graduates finding good jobs. Finally, TIEHH is an exciting environment where I found myself surrounded by a community of like-minded peers."
Melissa SandozM.S."It took me a long time to make my decision about graduate school. What made me choose TIEHH over my other options was the greater breadth in expertise of the professors and the better financial support available to students. Now that I'm here, I understand how lucky we are to have an entire Environmental Toxicology Department, with dedicated resources and amazing support staff. I can't imagine having gone to grad school anywhere else. While Lubbock is smaller than my hometown, there's still a lot of fun things to do here, including music, dancing, hiking at Palo Duro, the downtown farmer's market, and the First Friday Art Trail. We've got some mighty fine Texas BBQ too!"

RE: Stella v. Chappelle-a
I would just like to publicly and whole-heartedly disagree with Sean Nelson's statements regarding comedy troupe Stella. Now I can't say whether Stella is funnier than the Chappelle show (I'm not prepared for such a debate), but I can say that I find Stella to be really fucking hilarious.
David Wain, Michael Showalter, and Michael Ian Black (all of the State and Wet Hot American Summer fame) have been performing as Stella for years now, and I've seen their stand-up a couple times and watched their DVD over and over and over again. And each and every time I've laughed my ass off. Their older shorts and live performances are funnier than the show, I must admit, but it's still way funnier than Non-Hodkin's Lymphoma.
Granted, I've had a crush on Michael Ian Black since I was about 16 (yes, even during his years on the NBC television show Ed), so that might play into my strong admiration, but the dudes are just so random and awkward with really dry and sarcastic humor... I think they are absolutely funny. I really do. Even on TV.

On a Sunday late last March, I admitted Mrs. M to the general medicine service—my final admission on my final medicine rotation as a medical student. She arrived with three specific symptoms. One, her left leg had swollen over the past 2 weeks so that it was now twice the circumference of her right leg, from hip to ankle. Two, over the past few days, she felt short of breath even doing the most basic activities, such as tying her shoelaces. And three, although her appetite was still strong, she felt full after just a couple of bites of food and her belly had become noticeably distended, also over the past few days. She hadn't seen a doctor in more than 20 years; she hadn't had to, she said, because she'd never been sick. Widowed, she lived alone, with occasional but regular visits from her children and grandchildren. Her swollen leg, painful and tense, finally drove her to call an ambulance.

I enjoyed Dr. Luo's vignette, and I appreciate his apprehension about communicating his patient's diagnosis to her in the middle of the night. I would disagree, however, that he "chickened out" by waiting until morning to deliver bad news. It is often difficult for us as physicians to know about bad news for our patients and to withhold it until we feel it is the most appropriate time to tell our patients. While he states that the patient was likely apprehensive about the results of her CT scan, there was little he could do for her in the middle of the night. Second, Dr. Luo states that he was post call, so he went home before his attending delivered the bad news to the patient. Unfortunately, it would have been beneficial for him to stay and observe and/or participate in that discussion with his patient. He was not likely under duty hours restrictions, and therefore could have chosen to stay. That said, it is easy to have "20/20 hindsight." I applaud his courage in telling his story so that other physicians and health care professionals might reflect on it.
None declared
I appreciated Dr. Luo's vignette; I remember admitting a similar patient as an intern. However, I wish he had not emphasized her failure to see a doctor over the preceding twenty years. Had her diagnosis been colon cancer I could see why this would be relevant. Given that she was found to have ovarian cancer, had she been seeing doctors she might well have reported a history of vague abdominal complaints dismissed by multiple doctors, followed by the exact same presentation to the hospital.
