Hi! I'm DaShinyMew and i've been working on a pokemon emerald hack for some time now! I hope i enjoy being in this website!
May 12th, 2013, 10:52 AM
Hello! Welcome to the forum.
If you enjoy hacking, be sure to check out our large Emulation section of the forum. There, you can find tutorials, tools, and all you need for your hack! Even create your own thread and show it off for others to see! Be sure to check out the hacks made by other members as well, they are quite creative!
I'm sure you'll spend most of your time there. If you need anything, do not hesitate to ask! Enjoy it here!
May 12th, 2013, 11:26 AM
Hi Mew, and welcome to PC! I can't wait to see your hack once its done in the Emulation section. I'm certain you'll enjoy it here, because I'm enjoying it too and I'll be stalking you in the Emulation section for that hack :3. Nah, just joking, but welcome to PC!
May 12th, 2013, 12:14 PM
Heya Mew! Super cute username, I love Mew! :D All you need now is an avatar of a shiny blue Mew.
Like our amazing members said, anything related to hacking would fit best in Emulation. Since you've been working on it for a while I assume you've made some progress, how's that going so far? 3rd gen hacks are my favorite so I'm glad you're creating one of those.. gets you brownie points from me, hehe. Just some advice: if you're looking for a team to help you out with your game, check out the Team Discussions (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68) subforum Emulation. Can also check out the Tutorials (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=58) subforum for help with all sorts of hacking-related guides, ooor maybe look at the Toolbox (http://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?f=66) for mods and other neat add-ons to your hack. Plenty more where that came from so good luck around the section and getting your game published.
What other interests do you have besides hacking? We have it all here pretty much; there are sections for pretty much everything around PC, including off-topic things like clubs and forum games. Hope you settle in good and end up making a tooon of friends! Who knows, maybe in due time you're going to be teaching others how to hack, right?
Have a wonderful time around the board! :)

Thanks! i could use some help with Advance map since i don't understand it all. my interests are pokemon, especially eevee. I'm doing an ruby randomized locke
May 12th, 2013, 2:36 PM
Advanced Map, eh? If you check 'round the tutorials section, Netis has a "in-depth Dvanced map tutorial." I've seen it before, and its really good and detailed.
If your interest is Eevee, I have a club that I started that is dedicated to Eevee. It's still pretty new, so you might want to consider joining. The link is here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=301466
Anyway, good luck and enjoy!

Hihi DASHINYMEW! i am one of the louder ones. do you have a shiny mew? I have a hacked one traded to me once. I still love it. Meganium is my most favourite pokemon though. hacking isnt one of my specialties, so i don't know if I can help you..... I ll be glad to trade you a normal cloned event mew though. If you have some time, maybe come help me by posting your three favorite pokemon. the link is in my signature. Should stand out.

While their execution has been brilliant of late, this team still isn't equipped to win four straight playoff series. First, the weak points of their hot streak: the last month (November 27th to December 27th) of games featured only five road games. Secondly, stretches of this run have featured multiple games against below .500 teams (Minnesota, Sacramento, New Jersey). The month also threw only two back-to-backs at Dallas.
The Mavericks have only performed a wee bit better than expected during the easiest part of their schedule. As more road games and back-to-backs pile up, the likelihood of them maintaining their pace is slim. Every team, no matter how good they can be, inevitably has let down games. The latter end of a back-to-back, a few hard games in a row and traveling can make a team look awful. Despite the Mavs strong play to date, let down games will happen, guaranteed. The best teams go on their three or four game losing streaks. Even NBA players are human.
Back to the playoffs, the season that actually matters.
Dallas has solid depth, but one place they are weak is skilled centers. This is largely the lost luxury for teams on the cusp of being elite (the teams that have skilled centers are the Lakers, Magic and Celtics). Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood get the minutes at center and while they're solid, long defenders, they mostly pick up scraps offensively. While Dirk can post up and fade away for a jumper, the Mavs have no traditional post presence.
This is why I can't give the Mavs the seal of approval. When the jumpers aren't falling and drives aren't effective due to strong D, what will the Mavs do? They don't really have an answer, they don't have a player who can post and toast (Clyde Fraizer voice).
Adding to the big man woes is poor Brendan Haywood, who has looked atrocious on the free throw line this season. He's shooting about 28% and his form looks dopey. In the playoffs, couldn't a hack-a-Haywood be a great strategy? YES! Even though he plays only 18 minutes a game, teams could force him off the floor, or capitalize on his awful performance at the strike. This would limit the Mavs depth and/or scoring.
Also, let's not forget injuries, which are causing the Mavs trouble right now. Injuries to Dirk and Caron Butler are hurting during a more difficult part of their season. If injuries pile up like the have for Boston recently, their team could lose their edge. Stars aren't usually replaced. Hopefully Dallas is at full health when it matters most.
Dallas has earned some praise for their recent performance. They've shown strong play on both ends, played a team game and beat some decent competition over the last month. Winning in November and December means nothing if you're not "the," winner in June, though.

Aging is associated with substantial deterioration of the visual system and associated sensory-perceptual processes. This decline in visual processing is a strong predictor of cognitive decline in healthy aging and of Alzheimer's disease. Yet, the effects of aging on visual processing and cognitive functions, such as memory, have typically been investigated independently of each other. Filling this void, the proposed neuroimaging studies focus on the interactions between age effects on visual and memory processes, and the brain regions mediating these processes. This significant goal is combined with an innovative multi-measure methodological approach which assesses age effects (1) on visual and memory performance using behavioral tests;(2) on brain activity in occipito-temporal, medial temporal, prefrontal regions using functional MRI (fMRI);(3) on the interactions among these regions using functional connectivity (fCON);and (4) on the integrity of the white- matter fiber tracts connecting these regions using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Most importantly, these different measures are directly linked to each other. The multi-measure approach is applied to three specific aims.
Specific Aim 1 is to investigate the role of peripheral and top-down modulation deficits in visual memory impairments in older adults. Older adults show reduced activity and selectivity (dedifferentiation) in occipito-temporal cortex, which may reflect peripheral or top-down modulation deficits. Study 1 compares the effects of divided attention, which interferes with top-down modulation, and stimulus degradation, which mimics age-related peripheral visual deficits. Study 2 employs overlapping face-house stimuli to examine selective attention deficits.
Specific Aim 2 is to investigate the role of perceptual and conceptual processing deficits in visual memory impairments in older adults. Conceptual processing enhances memory for meaningful visual stimuli such as objects but, when combined with perceptual processing deficits, can lead to false memories. Study 3 investigates age effects on conceptual vs. perceptual processing during the encoding of meaningful objects. Study 4 examines age effects on encoding leading to true vs. false memory for objects.
Specific Aim 3 is to investigate the role of retrieval reactivation deficits in visual memory impairments in older adults. Visual memory depends not only on visual cortex activations during learning but also on visual cortex reactivations when visual events are remembered. Study 5 investigates age effects on the reactivation of memories for familiar faces and objects. Linking with Specific Aim 2, Study 6 investigates the reactivation of perceptual and conceptual representations. The proposed studies will be the first to systematically investigate the neural mechanisms of age-related visual memory decline. Their results will have direct implications for the development of treatments for memory decline in healthy aging. Moreover, given that visual memory decline predicts Alzheimer's disease a decade before diagnosis, the results will also have implications for the early detection and treatment of this disease.
The results of the proposed studies will clarify the neural correlates of age-related deficits in visual memory, and will have important implications for the promotion of health. They will help develop cognitive training methods and will provide an essential baseline for research on Alzheimer's disease.

La Quinta Inn Cleveland-Independence, Independence
nice, clean hotel, beds were very comfortable & easy on the budget. front desk & breakfast personnel were very pleasant. we had a very nice stay. we do feel that handrails outside the tub area should be installed as i did slip getting out & that was a bit scary. otherwise we enjoyed our stay.
La Quinta Inn Cleveland-Independence, Independence
Great place to stay
We came in because a family member had a procedure at the Cleveland Clinic. The drive was easy and maybe 15 mins. Restaurants near by include Bone Fish which is always great. Room and property could use an update, mattress showed its age lol. Everything was very clean, which was surprisingly nice.
La Quinta Inn Cleveland-Independence, Independence
Overall, the stay was nice. It is a bit out dated compared to other La Quinta's that I have stayed recently. Not the best water pressure in the shower. Overall, still a nice clean place to stay!

Last minute decision
Overnight trip for anniversary. Close enough to Downtown in a very nice location. Room was nice and clean although had a weird smell, bought a little $1 air freshener that solved that! Shower head could be replaced as the water pressure was not very good, got the job done but for price it could have been a little better. Breakfast was nice. Major downfall was the room doors slamming shut throughout the halls and you could hear the people in the rooms above you walking around very clearly. Would stay again but would consider other places first.

Label design 4x8 - repost
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 37
Project Description
I need a 4x8 label for one of my products. Please, add some extra space .2 inches all around to make sure the design bleeds all the way so the print shop can take your design all the way to the edges.
The design background can be blue, green or purple. I am attaching the brochure of the product here for references. The label is for the product you see here on the left, the 16oz liquid white bottle of collagen. I need the design to have a picture of a backbone highlighting the area of the disks where most people suffer lower back pain, or any joint in the body showing the area where Collagen will support their function. Look at the brochure here for some ideas.
I will post the new name of the product soon. It is no longer ArthriSolution; but, everything else you see in the brochure remains the same, so you can collect the information from the brochure and put it into your design. I need the design to have a good description of the benefits.
The label will have some basic information such as company information and how to order more, along with some FDA logo, Company logo, etc. I will post the logos soon. We will work together to make it a good design.

Some of Las Vegas' biggest hotel-casinos are canceling Super Bowl parties and handing out refunds to thousands of guests after the NFL threatened legal action against those who broadcast the big game on big-screen televisions.
Several hotels received letters last week informing them that their parties were "unauthorized use of NFL intellectual property."
Source: Tallahassee.com
I am split on this one. I agree with their intellectual property claim, after all, it is stated at the end of every game. But if a hotel is charging for beer and hot dogs, which I am sure the majority are charging for food and drink, then what's the deal here? The NFL just wants more money, as said at the end of the article. Greedy fools.

The tournament has reached a stage where each and every match counts. Bangalore started as one of the pre-tournament favourites but are fast becoming the whipping boys of the group. But such has been the story in this group that even a team without a single point in their kitty so far can still dream of a berth in the semi-finals. But for that to happen, they must win the remaining two games handsomely and hope for the other results to go their way. They are now up against a team that has performed out of their skins and can be regarded as the team to beat in this group.
Somerset has been impressive in all the facets of the game and is in prime position to continue with their winning momentum. With the return of their two major T20 stars in Craig Kieswetter and Jos Buttler, it is very difficult to see them getting beaten at the M. Chinnaswamy stadium let alone getting battered, which is what all of Bangalore will be hoping for.
Bangalore: Bangalore has relied heavily on their top 3 to make the bulk of the scoring. It worked very well during the IPL with Chris Gayle and Virat Kohli amongst the top run getters. The formula has failed to repeat itself here and the absence of AB de Villiers has hit the hosts extremely hard. Saurabh Tiwary has been a colossal disappointment and has been a sort of a white elephant in the team. The later middle order lacks the sort of finishers that one would find in abundance in the other teams in the tournament.
Daniel Vettori bemoaned that it was the bowling and the fielding that was letting the team down and a cursory glance at the statistics tells the complete story. Barring the skipper, none of the other bowlers have managed create any sort of panic on the opposition. While it can be said that unlike the Hyderabad and Chennai pitches, the pitch at the M Chinnaswamy stadium has been a paradise for the batsmen, it does not absolve the lack of penetration by the Bangalore bowling line-up.
Somerset: Somerset entered the qualifiers with very low hype and expectations, but they have conjured up some brilliant performances since then to be at the pole position with two matches to go. Roelof van der Merwe and Peter Trego have been inspirational for Somerset with their all-round performances so far in the CL. The arrival of the two dashing batsmen in Craig Kieswetter and Jos Buttler could not have been timed better for the Sabres with the tournament entering the decisive phase. Rain denied them the opportunity of seeing any action against the Redbacks, but the batsmen should enjoy the conditions better at Bangalore.
Veteren Alphonso Thomas has led the bowling attack with aplomb and Somerset has even gone on to challenge the opposition with as many as 4 left arm spinners in operation. The bowling has performed as a unit but will be under the scanner on the true wicket of Bangalore coupled with shorter boundaries. Bangalore has become one of the best six hitting grounds in the competition and the spinners will need to be accurate to prevent the free scoring RCB batsmen.
Team News: Mohammad Kaif has struggled to create any sort of impact with the bat and may be replaced by either Arun Karthik or the big hitting Asad Pathan. Sreenath Aravind went for runs in his first spell, but with lack of options, he might well retain his place in the team unless the management opts for Abhimanyu Mithun.
Somerset has no selection worries and should play the same team that was selected for the match against the Redbacks.
Our bowling and fielding, in particular, need to improve dramatically if we want to give ourselves a chance of winning against Somerset - Daniel Vettori knows that Bangalore cannot afford more slip ups.
We came here without a few first-choice players like Craig Kieswetter, Marcus Trescothick, Jos Buttler and Kieron Pollard but we stayed together and did well, and that's the way forward for us - Murali Kartik emphasizes the team spirit in the Somerset camp.
Final word: Bangalore knows what it is to make a comeback from near hopeless situations. They won 4 matches in a row to make the semis in the 2009 IPL. Will they show the spirit and get back to their winning ways?

Businesses Are Getting Ready for the IoT, Survey Finds
Businesses Are Getting Ready for the IoT, Survey FindsA growing number of business professionals understand the IoT and are taking steps to incorporate it into their companies, a QuinStreet Enterprise survey found.
Getting a Handle on a Big, Broad IssueThree-quarters (75 percent) of survey respondents said they understand IoT and its applicability to their businesses well or very well.
IoT Will Be Felt Inside the BusinessAlmost half—49 percent—see the Internet of things as being important or critical to the growth and success of their businesses.
Getting Ready for the OnslaughtSix in 10 large organizations already have IoT programs in place or have plans to adopt IoT within the next two years.
There is a Lot of Motivation Behind the InitiativesIssues around innovation, revenue and competition are the primary drivers of early adopters embracing IoT.
Customers, Employees Are the Focus of IoT EffortsAccording to the survey respondents, the top business goal of adopting IoT technologies is to improve the customer experience. Other top goals include operational and cost efficiencies, improved tracking and analytics, and enhanced employee productivity.
Challenges to IoT AdoptionThe top challenges include—not surprisingly—security concerns, other priorities within the company and concerns over costs.
The Business Side Often Is Driving the BusAmong early adoption organizations, 43 percent of respondents said that business leaders are the primary drivers of company IoT initiatives.
IT Plays an Important Role as WellAmong 57 percent of early adopters, IT is viewed as the "leader" or a "collaborator" with other groups in getting IoT initiatives going.
In-House Development Will Be ImportantFour in 10 companies are planning to develop most of the components for their IoT initiatives themselves rather than go outside for the help.
Going to the Internet for InformationSixty percent of respondents said tech content sites are the most important sources of information when creating an IoT initiative.
The Internet of things (IoT) has been a topic of conversation for several years, but business executives appear to have gotten to the point where they have a clear understanding of what IoT can mean to their business, and companies increasingly are putting plans in place to launch initiatives around the trend. Those were some of the findings of a survey by QuinStreet Enterprise—which publishes a number of tech news sites, including eWEEK—conducted earlier this year. More than 600 professionals were asked a broad range of questions about IoT, from its importance to their businesses and where they got their information, to the primary drivers behind their IoT initiatives and the key hurdles that make leveraging IoT in their companies daunting. However, the overall message was clear: IoT is here, it's growing and it's going to have a significant impact on business going forward. Now most companies appear to be trying to figure out how and when to get their initiatives off the ground and how they're going to implement the efforts. This slide show takes a look at the top takeaways from the survey.

'16 and Pregnant' cuts teen births, study finds
A new study concludes that the MTV show 16 and Pregnant reduced teenage births by nearly 6 percent in the year and a half after the show started airing, countering concerns that the popular show has glamorized teen motherhood.
Teen motherhood has plummeted over the last two decades, hitting a record low last year. Advocacy groups believe sex education and the economic downturn have helped bring down the numbers, but researchers had yet to examine whether pop culture was also steering teens away from parenthood.
By analyzing Google searches, Twitter and Nielsen ratings and comparing them to teen birth rates in different parts of the country, researchers from Wellesley College and the University of Maryland concluded that the hit show also had a powerful role in reducing teen births.
In a working paper for the National Bureau of Economic Research, they found that areas that had higher MTV viewership when 16 and Pregnant started airing had faster drops in teen births. The reality show also spurred more Google searches and tweets about birth control, hinting at what teens were thinking.
All in all, the study concluded that the show ultimately led to a 5.7 percent reduction in teen births, which accounted for nearly a third of the drop in teenage births between June 2009 and the end of 2010.

Hints from Heloise:
Cat litter eliminates freezer-odor problem
Marilyn K. in Nebraska writes: We had a freezer-odor disaster! We tried everything from baking soda, to wadding up newspapers and washing it out with bleach. Then a light bulb came on. What about cat litter? We changed the litter every day for about a week, and after that, every few days. The freezer eventually was cured using plain old clay cat litter!
Ursula in Lincoln Hills, Calif., writes: After being away and walking in dirty places, like airline bathrooms, etc., I wipe the bottom of my shoes with disinfectant wipes (not the bleach ones) before walking around on my home carpet. It assures me that I am not tracking in oodles of filth and germs.

Special organizers make using coupons easier
If your new year's resolutions include clipping coupons, make sure you organize them. If your coupons aren't organized before you shop, you'll waste time (and money) sifting through them at the store.
Coupon organizers range from checkbook-size to large three-ring binders. And their price varies as well, from just a couple dollars to more than $15.
If you use lots of coupons, opt for a ring binder with plastic-sheet inserts (the size used for baseball cards works well). Organize coupons first by category — meats, dairy, frozen foods, etc. — and then by product. This way, you can see the coupons. For example, group all your cereal coupons (by brand if you like) together. Look for coupon organizers at stores such as Target and Walmart and online at Amazon.com.

Every day is different, for everybody and every team. And so, at the end of a crazy day tracking, dissecting and analyzing all of the moves being made and not being made in the NFC East, we like to pause and ask each team a simple question: How was your day ...
"Fiscally responsible." Yeah, that's not a real exciting answer. And as pretty much every one of their fans will tell you, the Cowboys haven't had a real exciting week. But while Jerry Jones would surely love to be slugging it out for Nnamdi Asomugha and the other top free agents, the fact is the Cowboys had to start this offseason slowly. Thursday, they added Marc Colombo to the list of cuts that will trim more than $19 million in payroll and help get them under the cap. They agreed to terms with left guard Kyle Kosier one day after bringing back left tackle Doug Free. They signed first-round pick and projected starting right tackle Tyron Smith and then immediately let linebacker DeMarcus Ware go to work on him in his first training-camp practice. But they did nothing to address their holes on defense, and in fact they lost one of their free-agent defensive ends, Stephen Bowen, to the Redskins. But that loss could be a gain. Bowen got a surprisingly huge deal (five years, $27.5 million, $12.5 million guaranteed), and the Cowboys don't believe he was worth that much. That deal could actually help them get the defensive end they want, the Packers' Cullen Jenkins, who'd been talking to the Redskins but no longer is. The Cowboys still need two safeties, two defensive ends and maybe another offensive lineman. But they'll get them. Fans just need to be patient. This may not be the most exciting Cowboys offseason ever, but it will surely be more productive than it's been so far. They are crawling before they walk.
"Newsy." The Giants are still working and waiting on the resolution of their negotiations with Ahmad Bradshaw, Kevin Boss and Steve Smith, but they did knock out a new deal for Mathias Kiwanuka on Thursday. And Bradshaw lost a lot of his leverage when the Dolphins, with whom he and his agent had been playing kissy-face, acquired Reggie Bush, so they should be able to get him at something closer to their price. But this day for the Giants was more about people talking -- John Mara talking about Plaxico Burress and Osi Umenyiora, the team talking to David Diehl about moving from tackle to guard and to Will Beatty about starting at left tackle, Rich Seubert and Shaun O'Hara talking about being cut ... lots of talking. There was even a report that the Giants were talking to Brad Maynard about coming in to replace shaky punter Matt Dodge. The talking -- at least to the free agents -- will soon lead to results one way or the other. But there was no shortage of interesting storylines coming out of Giantsland on Thursday.
"Cathartic." Yeah, they finally got that Kevin Kolb deal done. Felt like it took forever, right? Well, that's only because of that little lockout thing we no longer like to talk about. The end result is that the Eagles have their starting right cornerback in Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a second-round pick next year and will need to go find a veteran backup for Michael Vick, which won't be too hard. They also agreed to terms on a five-year contract with defensive end Jason Babin, who was much better last season with the Titans than he was in his first stint as an Eagle. But he should be OK since he'll be working with former Titans defensive line coach Jim Washburn, who's now in Philly. They still need to address linebacker and backup running back and maybe offensive line, but the actual moves they got to do Thursday will help, and at least they provided some distraction from this very icky DeSean Jackson holdout situation.
"Productive." I'm sorry. I don't think they'll contend in 2011, but I really, really like what the Redskins are doing. Sure, they overpaid for Bowen. But as someone pointed out to me on my extremely active Twitter day, the Redskins (a) have the money and (b) sort of have to overpay right now to get guys to go there, right? Like cornerback Josh Wilson, Bowen is a guy who is young and still emerging, and the Redskins are making a bet that he'll be better in the short-term future than he is now. They are a future-focused team and should be, and their moves have reflected that. Another example: They cut veteran center Casey Rabach and reportedly agreed to terms with Chris Chester, who can replace Rabach at center or play guard if Will Montgomery or Kory Lichtensteiger does. Still need a right tackle, but the defense starts to look pretty doggone respectable with the additions of Wilson, Bowen and Barry Cofield. Oh, and I almost forget. They dumped Albert Haynesworth on an AFC team before the sun came up. That alone would have made it a decent day for Mike Shanahan no matter what else happened.
Me? Man. My day was kind of nuts. Did some more TV and a whole lot of Twitter conversating with y'all. Enjoyed every single bit of it and can't wait for tomorrow.
How was your day?

BEIJING, May 27 (Reuters) - The combined profits of industrial companies across China fell 1.6 percent in the first four months of 2012 from a year earlier to 1.45 trillion yuan ($228.6 billion), the National Bureau of Statistics said on Sunday. The decline follows a 1.3 percent drop in the first three months, in line with slowing economic growth. China growth is facing downward pressure as exports slow and domestic demand struggles to pick up the slack, partially due to Beijing's campaign ...

Someone goes to a Woodworking website and starts browsing their forums. They see that there's a thread to request free pieces to be made by talented woodworkers. Wow, cool! So they request a coffee table with a light finish for their living room. Lo and behold, a woodworker claims the request and makes a beautiful piece. Later, this person changes their decor and suddenly they need a dark finish. So they make a request of the woodworker to stain it for them to a darker color, to which he obliges. Then, not 12 days later, this person suddenly shows up on the forums requesting a new coffee table to be made because they've changed their decor yet again, this time to a super-modern theme. The old one is beautiful, and they just love it, but it clearly will not fit in. I mean, they loved using that table for those 12 days! It wasn't like it went unused. It was seen and enjoyed by all for those 12 days. But now they just need another table, because the decor needs it.
Now, does that sound ok to you? It shouldn't. And it's basically the exact same thing as what you're doing now. Graphics designers get payed a lot of money for a reason. The fact that what we create here isn't physically tangible doesn't mean that it should hold any less value in your mind than something that is.
And i4ni, while I understand and respect your position in supporting him, I'm disappointed that you're willing to go along with behavior like this.

post #61 of 91

Getting back out on the road after an ordeal like that can be pretty tough. I remember compulsively checking my rearview mirror every time I stopped at a red light for months after getting rear-ended in a friend's car (while standing peacefully at a red light). Guy gunned it an drove away, too.
Glad you're ok though - car looks pretty torn up.
On a sidenote, care to settle my curiousity (and a bet) as to what that is (was?) before the accident? I said it was a Dodge Spirit.
I'll admit I'm having a rough time, I keep remembering the blur of the other car in front of mine and the airbag.
I know it's loud when you hit something, but the airbag is louder. Like a shotgun going off in your face. Do you have any burns on face or arms from the bag?
Speaking of rough times, just a couple of days ago, an aquaintance of mine that I play pool with was driving a fully loaded garbage truck on a highway just on the edge of town, a 74 yr old lady drove through a stop sign, but stopped in the middle of the intersection right in front of him. She didn't make it, her daughter went to the hospital. He's physically OK, but pretty shook up emotionally. I don't see what else he could have done at that point.
thanks a lot guys, I got some awesome news today. My insurance company is going to pay for 5 days off from work, so I don't have to go in until next monday.

Hmmm, wonder why they don't do that anymore. Woke up at 4:00 am (why, I
don't know but since I'm up...) It's in the low 30's here, maybe high 20's
but the wind is blowing so it feels colder. Again, Vidalia loves it while
Austin sleeps in the bed. Why is my dog sleeping better than I am??? I'm at
my best this time of the day so the dishes are in the dishwasher and the
clothes in the laundry. I'm about to start sorting seeds to see what I want
to start this week in the greenhouse, IF I can find room. Supposed to go up
to 51 today so I might try and do a little bit of garden clean up. My yard
looks awful! Then it's supposed to rain again tomorrow and be in the low
30's & 20's the rest of the week nights. Where are my 60 degree temps!!!

Subject: Re: [CHAT] What is wrong
The last time we got 10 inches of snow here in the Atlanta area was in the
80's. It had the highways closed down for a week.
Last night, when our 3" of snow started freezing, it caused huge traffic
nightmares. One poor truck driver reported that it took him 11 hours to
drive 4 miles, and that was on I-85.
Georgia does have a few snowplows now. When we moved here, there were no
such outside the city, and there were no sand/salt trucks, either. Sanding
was done by convicts standing on top of a load in a dump truck - shoveling
by hand.

The Star Parivaar Awards 2012 had celebrities from several shows on Star Plus attending the event in grand style.

ESPN.com and the TrueHoop Network are ranking every NBA player -- and counting them down on Twitter (@NBAonESPN), from No. 500 to No. 1. Celtics rookie Kris Joseph gets the typical second-round pick treatment and is the first Boston player to debut at No. 467 (with a 1.99 ranking). That should provide just another dose of motivation for the 51st overall pick in this summer's draft.
Some of Boston's former second-round picks like E'Twaun Moore (414th, 2.46 rating) and Lester Hudson (468, 1.97) are also part of the 400+ club, as is departed big man Sean Williams (428, 2.32).
One rating sure to draw heavy Boston interest (and maybe even some debate), Brian Scalabrine lands at No. 487 with a 1.76 rating.

Ooey Gooey Candy and Chocolate Bars
Here's some temptation for lovers of rich, gooey desserts. Dry cake mix blended with margarine forms a crust for butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, coconut and nuts.
Bar cookies can be easily cut into rectangles or squares. For a more festive look, cut into diamonds or triangles. Use a thin, sharp knife or a serrated knife for easier cutting.
• To cut triangles, cut bar cookies into squares (2 to 2 1/2 inches), then simply cut each square in half diagonally.
• To cut diamonds, begin by cutting straight parallel lines down the length of the pan, abut 1 1/2 inches apart. Next, make diagonal cuts across the straight cuts 1 1/2 inches apart, keeping the lines as even as possible. At each end of the pan, you'll end up with irregularly shaped pieces that are great for nibbling!

Dancer (2003)
by Colum McCann
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Dramatic fictional account of the life and career of Rudolf Nureyev. Told from several points of view: family, friends, colleagues, employees, and others. A little disjointed and it jumps around a bit, but it works.
Library book.
Whatever happened to third-person narration?? When authors wanted to cover a subject from multiple view points, they used to write their novel in third person. Not any more. Now we have books like this--incredibly awkward jumbles of multiple first person narrations, requiring the reader to have to figure out who the current narrator is as well as where and when the current bit is taking place. In third, the author could have told us and saved me much trouble and annoyance.
And, quite frankly, I found a number of the individual stories much more interesting and compelling than the overall story of Nureyev. I would have been happy to have a novel or short story about a Russian nurse in World War II or the daughter of a political dissident living in Leningrad or teacher in Ufa with a brother who defects to the West or a gay hanger-on in the 1970s (though that one is pretty well covered in Holleran's Dancer from the Dance).
As the novel exists, it was okay. I would have stopped reading except it was for my book group. Pre- and post-AIDS gay life is well depicted. Ballet culture is always interesting. The theme of sacrifice for art (including to some extent, celebrity as a sacrifice) was interesting. But I would have rather been reading something else.
I have an interest with the cold war and the defections that took place during the height of communism so it's kinda surprising that I haven't read more on the subject. This book covers that, ticks the Russia box plus throws in some dance and was on special offer, which all appeals to me.
I think mostly everyone has seen, whether they know it or not, a little bit of Rudolf Nureyev dance. He was a superstar and his early performances can be found on youtube still but I knew nothing about him apart from the fact that he was an amazing ballet dancer who had defected in the early 60s. This book wasn't exactly a biography because it had amalgamations of people, and suppposings flung in amongst the facts, but there was enough truth about it to be informative.
The actual style of the book was weird for me. Speech wasn't shown conventionally, the book was split into books with very few chapters within them and perspective would shift from one character to another from page to page without telling you who it was you were reading so it kept you on your toes as you were reading. It was a little confusing at times, but it was engrossing enough that I wanted to stick with it anyway.
It covered 'Rudi' Nureyev's life from child-hood to his trip home and ended with the auction prices his belongings had sold for after his death. He was a complex character - a perfectionist who was at times deeply unlikeable but at others you almost wanted to shelter him. His relationship with Margot Fontaine was portrayed beautifully, which (combined with her financial issues) explained why they continued to dance together for so long (she still danced with him when she was 69 years old and he was 50). Rudi was decadent and used and discarded men for pleasure yet never really found any deep, lasting love or pleasure in life. The most touching part of the book for me was his visit home to see his dying mother in 1989, nearly 30 years after his defection. He showered his sister and niece with gifts and refused to leave his mother until she recognised him, but she never did.
It was a good book and has me curious as to maybe reading a different account that would perhaps be a little more thorough. I just don't know enough about him to know which parts of the story were fictionalised and enhanced for dramatic purposes (he even admits some of the celebrity accounts weren't accurate, which is a shame because they were fascinating) so eventually I might get an actual biography and try and find out what is right and what's not.
Still though, it was definitely worth a read so not going to complain too much.
Colum McCann is dreamy, no question about it. And his use of language is pretty good, too! This one just didn't do it for me. Not even close to the quality of [b:Let The Great World Spin|5941033|Let the Great World Spin|Colum McCann|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1275935615s/5941033.jpg|6113503]. That book is so good I want to read it for the rest of my life. This book will not get a single re-read.
This was a good read. I thought Nureyev was a real sh.t ,who was prepared to sacrifice everybody for his own success. but then I forgave him for the wonderful talent that he shared with the world . The writer (one of my favourites) gives a wonderful insight into the lives of the people who were affected by him.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312423187, Paperback)
Taking his inspiration from biographical facts, novelist Colum McCann tells the erotically charged story of the Russian dancer Rudolf Nureyev through the cast of those who knew him: there is Anna Vasileva, Rudi's first ballet teacher, who rescues her protégé from the stunted life of his provincial town; Yulia, whose sexual and artistic ambitions are thwarted by her Soviet-sanctioned marriage; and Victor, the Venezuelan street hustler, who reveals the lurid underside of the gay celebrity set. Spanning four decades and many worlds, from the horrors of the Second World War to the wild abandon of New York in the eighties, Dancer is peopled by a large cast of characters, obscure and famous: doormen and shoemakers, nurses and translators, Margot Fonteyn, Eric Bruhn and John Lennon. And at the heart of the spectacle stands the artist himself, willful, lustful, and driven by a never-to-be-met need for perfection.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:15:33 -0400)
"A Russian peasant who became an international legend, a Cold War exile who inspired the adoration of millions, an artist whose name was a byword for genius, sex, and excess. The magnificence of Rudolf Nureyev's life and work is known, but now Colum McCann reinvents this figure through the light he shed on the lives of those who knew him." "Boldly embellishing the biographical facts, McCann tells the story through a chorus of voices. There is Anna Vasileva, Rudi's first ballet teacher, who, banished from St. Petersburg, rescues her preternaturally talented protege from the stunted life of his town; Yulia, whose sexual and artistic ambitions are thwarted by her Soviet-sanctioned marriage; Victor, a decadent Venezuelan, who revels in the hedonism of the gay celebrity set; Odile, the legendary cook, who finds love at middle age while feeding the great and their hangers-on. Spanning four decades and many worlds, from the killing fields of World War II to the wild abandon of New York's gaudy eighties, Dancer is peopled by a large cast of characters, obscure and famous, real and imagined."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

In a passionate performance in the first of the presidential debates last night, Governor Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of "crushing the middle class", assailing him on his record and calling him out on everything from tax policy, healthcare reform or what he called his attachment to "trickle-down government".
While Mr Romney maintained an aggressive and energetic stance throughout the 90-minute showdown at the University of Denver, Mr Obama remained cool and mostly grave in his demeanour to the point of professorial. Viewers saw him frequently looking down at his shoes while his challenger kept his finger on the trigger firing fusillades on his record of the last four years. "You raised taxes and you killed jobs," Mr Romney declared.
The debate, the first time the two men have met on the same stage in an election hitherto largely fought through negative advertising and the confections that are the party conventions, vividly illustrated the ideological divide between them as they sparred on economic policy as well as on their differing visions of the role of government.
Perhaps aided by lowered expectations and by the fact that it is the incumbent who has the burden of a record to defend, Mr Romney seized the ball from the start. "I'm concerned that we're on the path that's just been unsuccessful", he said, adding: "The President has a view very similar to the one he had when he ran for office four years go, that spending more, taxing more, regulating more, if you will, trickle-down government would work. That's not the right answer for America."
The night may now help the Romney camp change the dynamics of the race and get past the damage done by the famous tape showing him disparaging 47 per cent of Americans as "victims" dependent on handouts – a video which Mr Obama declined to raise once in the debate – and focus attention instead on Mr Obama's record. "Going forward with the status quo is not going to cut it for the American people who are struggling today," he said here on the stage.
"If this was boxing match, the referee would have called it and Mitt Romney would have been the clear winner," Eric Ferhnstrom, a Romney advisor, suggested moments after the debate would up. "What the President gave us were empty platitudes. He has given us no vision of where he wants to take the country."
But aides to the President insisted he had been effective hammering Mr Romney on an economic plan they call unworkable. The President said repeatedly that his rival's promise to cut taxes by 20 per cent across the board would create a $5 trillion shortfall in government revenue that would in the end force him to raise taxes on the middle class. He also sought to tie him to the policies of George W. Bush, without mentioning him by name. It was those policies of tax-cutting and deregulation that had brought the country to the financial brink four years ago, he said.
But Mr Romney indignantly denied many of the charges made against him. One of the sharpest moments came when Mr Obama said his opponent meant to make cuts in education. "You're entitled to your own airplane and your own house, but not your own facts," Mr Romney responded. "I'm not going to cut education funding."
He also refuted the $5 trillion figure and said he would not pass any tax policies that would add to the deficit. "I don't have a $5 trillion tax cut. I don't have a tax cut of the scale that you're talking about," Romney said. "If the tax plan he just described were a tax plan I were asked to support, I'd say absolutely not."
There are two more presidential debates to come and another, next week, between the vice-presidential candidates. "This debate will test whether debates can change polls or election outcomes," said Larry Sabato, director of political studies at the University of Virginia. "Doubtful but possible." But at least one senior Obama aide seemed to concede last night that the upshot from the first might be a tightening of polls.
"We don't care about the national polls," David Plouffe said, arguing that what mattered more was how the President faired in swing states like Ohio and Florida, where for now he has an edge. "Do I think that things will be fundamentally different in Ohio tonight? I absolutely reject that." He also said the president had overall done a good job – an assessment not shared by liberal and Democrat bloggers who averred widespread disappointment.
"My sense is that he came across as more steady than Mitt Romney and less testy and the Americna people like that. I think the President came across as more likeable and more connected to the middle class".Reuse content

Three of Ireland's biggest businessmen and the country's government had the future of Aer Lingus in their hands last night as British Airways' owner IAG launched a bid for the £1bn airline.
International Consolidated Airlines Group, run by Willie Walsh, the former boss of Aer Lingus, announced yesterday it had made a takeover offer for the Irish airline which was turned down. Aer Lingus later said it had rejected IAG earlier in the week after its board decided the bid was too low.
An IAG takeover would need the blessing of Mr Walsh's friend and rival Michael O'Leary, who runs Ryanair. Mr O'Leary has tried to add Aer Lingus to Ryanair in the past but was thwarted by the Irish authorities. Ryanair has a 30 per cent stake and is Aer Lingus's biggest shareholder.
Meanwhile, the media tycoon Denis O'Brien retains a stake, which he built up to block a Ryanair bid.
He has said in the past that he did not want Ryanair to buy Aer Lingus because he could not abide the idea that potential foreign investors flying in to his country would have the budget airline as their first taste of Ireland.
While Mr O'Brien has sold down much of his holding, with a 2.4 per cent stake he remains a powerful voice and may decide IAG is a better owner for Aer Lingus than Ryanair.
The Irish taxpayer retains 25 per cent of the carrier.
Analysts have said Mr Walsh has been somewhat slow carrying out the takeover deals for which IAG was set up in 2011. The British Airways-Iberia tie-up that created it was intended to be the first of many consolidations – snapping up smaller airlines across the world. However, so far it has only bought bmi and Spain's Vueling. Mr Walsh originally earmarked 12 airlines he wanted.
Analysts said an Aer Lingus takeover would bring IAG crucial new take-off and landing slots at the overcrowded Heathrow airport, which it could use for new routes to emerging markets to which it currently does not fly.
Aer Lingus would also bring in extra passengers to feed into BA's transatlantic stronghold. However, analysts said it was possible IAG's resulting dominance of Heathrow slots could make the deal fall foul of competition regulators.
Ryanair has been thwarted by EU regulators in its efforts to buy the airline, while British authorities have ordered it to cut its stake. That decision is currently under appeal.
Other shareholders of Aer Lingus include Etihad of Abu Dhabi, with 4 per cent.
Some analysts said the offer looked like an attempt by Mr Walsh to take advantage of Aer Lingus at a time of weakness following its chief executive Christoph Mueller's announcement five months ago that he was stepping down to run the ill-starred Malaysia Airlines next year.
Aer Lingus shares leapt 9 per cent, IAG gained 4.5 per cent and Ryanair rose 3 per cent.
Neil Shah, director of research at Edison Investment Research, said: "This not a simple airline takeover approach but a battle for the keys to more of the lucrative long-haul slots at Heathrow, which is close to capacity.
"With Ryanair intent on remaining king maker whether or not it can hold on to its block-holder 25 per cent stake in Aer Lingus, this will once again be a Willie Walsh versus Michael O'Leary battle."Reuse content

Do they, since some of their attacks are ranged?
I don't want to make one and find out I get owned by all other melee with a snare.
No... They are very good.... I dont think any class is gimped.
They are almost entirely melee. They use their gun for a weak ranged attack to chase or pull things, and their gun is used for executions but they are close range. They are melee fighters.
K, thanks, next question then. Do witchelves get any ranged attacks at all with a bow or anything maybe to kill those limping away?
Trying to decide between these two classes.
They are both very much alike. All classes have some ranged ability with low damage for players running away. With elf you have to be a female, while witch hunter you can be either. Can't go wrong, but I would say go Witch Hunter since Order needs quality players.
I do like the idea of being a male character instead of some 80s elf. I hear the lower pop side will get some sort of bonuses... are the bonuses really significant?
Every class gets some kind of range attack for pulling porpuses mainly but you can still kill with it heheh
WE arent the exception. They throw knifes. I think WH have better range dmg than WE but that's pure speculation because I didn't run any test or anything... just opinion

they have said that they will NEVER give bonuses that help in rvr. most likely it will be pve xp bonuses etc.
