Box score from the Moffat County High School girls varsity soccer team's game Thursday at Central Grand Junction High School:
(Team — 1st half — 2nd half — final)
• Moffat County — 0 — 0 — 0
• Central — 1 — 0 — 1
MCHS goalie statistics:
(Name — goals against — saves)
• Skylar Tripp — 1 — 19
The Moffat County High School girls varsity soccer team's rust became apparent early in the first half of Thursday's season-opening game at Central Grand Junction High School.
As Central set up for a free kick outside the penalty box, the Bulldogs rushed around to get their wall set up, all the while talking back and forth with goalie Skylar Tripp.
The Warriors didn't waste any time in taking advantage of the Bulldogs confusion, sneaking the ball past Skylar's hands for the only goal of the game, beating Moffat County, 1-0.
"I felt the girls played a good game, it was just their first time outside and they weren't use to playing on grass," head coach Harry Tripp said. "There are things we need to work on, like being prepared all the time and not waiting for the other team or the refs like on the free kick.
"It will all come as the season progresses and we are outside more."
The Bulldogs (0-1 overall, 0-0 Western Slope League) spent the first week and a half of practice in the MCHS gymnasium because of snow and wet field conditions.
Harry said the ball rolls a lot faster on the gym floor than on the grass, and the girls weren't use to the resistance the grass provided.
"Our offense was not quite there (Thursday)," he said. "We hit a lot of through balls too hard and they just kept going to the opponent's goalie."
Last season, Harry said the Bulldogs were more defensive-minded, but this year he wants to produce more offense.
With seniors Kelly Ciesco, Karen Bolton and Frida Meijer servings the Moffat County's forwards, Harry said the offense showed signs of explosiveness Thursday.
"The girls really worked well together up front," he said. "They communicated and passed well, getting off 10 shots. In the second half, when they started to get things going, they got a little tired, but they showed they will be able to score."
Defensively, Harry said the girls did a great job helping out Skylar, who took over the goalie position this year.
Led by juniors Bailey Hellander and Rose Howe, the Bulldogs only allowed 20 shots on goal.
Sophomore Brenna Ciesco, however, was the standout player of the game, Harry said.
"Brenna stepped up and did a really good job as our center halfback," he said. "She was our playmaker, our brains of the operation, and did a great job collecting the ball and distributing it to the other players."
The Bulldogs play at 11 a.m. today at Delta High School in their first league match-up.
Despite Thursday's loss, Harry said the program is on the upswing and the more the girls get out on the field, the better they will get.
"Thursday was the first time a lot of girls wore cleats this year," he said. "They didn't really have the feel of the ground and once we get the little things cleaned up, we will really get things going."
Note: The MCHS girls junior varsity soccer team fell 3-0 Thursday against Central Grand Junction.

Showbiz Sandbox 113: Hollywood Studios Think Twice About Comic-Con
July 25, 2011
Attendance at this year's Comic-Con was higher than ever. Geoff Boucher of the Los Angeles Times and Alex Billington of First Showing were in San Diego last weekend sitting in on, if not moderating, panel discussions with the likes of Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Francis Coppola and "Game of Thrones" cast members. In filling us in on all the highlights they explain why some studios skipped this year's festivities and why next year's convention is set to be the biggest Comic-Con yet.
There was also some sad news this past weekend as we learned about the untimely death of soul singer Amy Winehouse at the age of 27. The troubled young singer battled with drug addiction since rising to stardom in 2006 and her death raises the question over what responsibility the entertainment industry has in helping artists with drug or alcohol problems.
There was better news on Broadway where at least three recent shows turned a profit with even more shows about to follow suit. Even the much-hyped disaster "Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark" is shaping up to be a financial success.

42 U.S. Code § 6831 - Congressional findings and purpose
§ 6831.
Congressional findings and purpose
(a) The Congress finds that—
large amounts of fuel and energy are consumed unnecessarily each year in heating, cooling, ventilating, and providing domestic hot water for newly constructed residential and commercial buildings because such buildings lack adequate energy conservation features;
Federal voluntary performance standards for newly constructed buildings can prevent such waste of energy, which the Nation can no longer afford in view of its current and anticipated energy shortage;
the failure to provide adequate energy conservation measures in newly constructed buildings increases long-term operating costs that may affect adversely the repayment of, and security for, loans made, insured, or guaranteed by Federal agencies or made by federally insured or regulated instrumentalities; and
State and local building codes or similar controls can provide an existing means by which to assure, in coordination with other building requirements and with a minimum of Federal interference in State and local transactions, that newly constructed buildings contain adequate energy conservation features.
(b) The purposes of this subchapter, therefore, are to—
redirect Federal policies and practices to assure that reasonable energy conservation features will be incorporated into new commercial and residential buildings receiving Federal financial assistance;
provide for the development and implementation, as soon as practicable, of voluntary performance standards for new residential and commercial buildings which are designed to achieve the maximum practicable improvements in energy efficiency and increases in the use of nondepletable sources of energy; and
(Pub. L. 94–385, title III, § 302, Aug. 14, 1976, 90 Stat. 1144; Pub. L. 97–35, title X, § 1041(a), Aug. 13, 1981, 95 Stat. 621.)
1981—Subsecs. (a)(2), (b)(2). Pub. L. 97–35 inserted "voluntary" before "performance standards".
Effective Date of 1981 Amendment
Amendment by Pub. L. 97–35 effective Aug. 13, 1981, see section 1038 of Pub. L. 97–35, set out as a note under section 6240 of this title.
Short Title
For short title of this subchapter as the "Energy Conservation Standards for New Buildings Act of 1976", see section 301 of Pub. L. 94–385, set out as a note under section 6801 of this title.

There is a productive way to pay down the federal and consumer debt loads, instead of the austerity policies currently in vogue both here and in Europe (i.e., cut taxes and government spending), thus freeing more capital to grow the U.S. economy. It means implementing policies that will increase average household incomes; and tax revenues in the case of governments. We know this works because it happened after World War II with its record 120 percent of GDP debt load that was reduced to as low as 31.7 percent in 1974.
But it has climbed back to 100 percent of GDP today (including $5 trillion owed to the social security trust fund) for a variety of reasons; including spending for the 2 Wars on Terror + an extensive domestic security apparatus that wasn't paid for, regressive tax policies, the decline in household incomes, and the Great Recession itself.
The last 4 years of Clinton's presidency also gave us 4 federal budget surpluses. This was because of a slightly higher maximum federal income tax rate while capping government spending, mainly because of the post-cold war drop in military spending during the longest growth cycle (10 years) in U.S. history.
The fallacy is to believe that it can't happen today. Because, the story goes, only the immediate post-WWII society had lots of savings so that Eisenhower's sky-high maximum income tax rate of 92 percent didn't harm private spending and investment. That is why we could afford to fund a new freeway system and travel to the moon, goes the narrative.
But there is as much wealth saved today. Only it has become very concentrated. Those with the wealth today--such as the top 1 percent--also have very high savings rates. According to research from American Express Publishing and Harrison Group, the savings rate of the wealthiest 1 percent soared to 37 percent in the second quarter 2013. That's up from 34 percent in the second quarter of 2012--and more than three times their savings rate in 2007. And it contrasts with the current 4.2 percent personal savings rate for all consumers.
Studies in fact show that increasing the maximum tax rate to as high as the 80 percent wouldn't harm consumption, the main driver of domestic economic growth. Today, the richest 1 percent of Americans pay a top federal rate of 29 percent, according to Emmanuel Saez, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley. That's because almost a third of their income derives from capital gains and dividends -- which are now taxed at around 20 percent rate -- while the rest is ordinary income taxed at a top marginal rate of 39 percent.
Today, people earning over $200,000 a year capture more than a third of national income. In fact, three decades of tax cuts may have gilded the pockets of the rich, but they didn't provide much economic juice, says one study. Among developed nations, incomes per person grew no faster in countries like the United States and Britain that slashed their top tax rates than in countries like Spain, Germany or Denmark, which did not.
There is even evidence that higher tax rates encourage growth. For instance, reducing inequality through higher tax rates on the wealthy may promote wealth creation. What's the mechanism? Bowles and Jayadev claim to have identified one element of it: inequality leads to conflict and tensions, and society has to waste resources dealing with those conflicts and tensions.
The people at the top have to spend a lot of time and energy keeping the lower classes obedient and productive. So-called "guard labor" is one such waste. Some estimates say that 1 in 4 Americans is employed to keep fellow citizens in line and protect private wealth. This waste includes corporate IT monitoring, CCTV at work, and mobilizing police forces to protect property.
The above chart shows that there is no correlation between cuts in U.S. top tax rates and average annual real GDP-per-capita growth since the 1970s. And, countries that made large cuts in top tax rates such as the United Kingdom or the United States have not grown significantly faster than countries that did not, such as Germany or Denmark.
How to increase household incomes is more difficult, as many right-to-work states have limited both collective bargaining and union membership for middle class workers that have prevented their incomes from even keeping up with inflation. But there are movements to increase the minimum wage, as well as strengthen collective bargaining laws for better wages and benefits. The ongoing economic recovery and increasing employment will also boost both taxes and incomes.
So there are many good reasons to support policies that increase tax revenues and household incomes, and no longer valid reasons for austerity policies that actually increase deficits, and continue to depress household incomes.

Although "El Chino" will be entering the ring as a 14 to 1 underdog, the two division world champion is looking to send a message to his opponent before both men touch gloves this Saturday night in Las Vegas, Nevada.
When Maidana and Mayweather are asked by referee Tony Weeks moments before the opening bell sounds to see mouthpieces in the center of the ring, the 30 year old puncher plans to flash his brand new "45-1" custom made gum shield to his undefeated opponent.
In the attached video, courtesy of ES News, Team Maidana reveals the custom made mouthpiece.
"I'm going to go out to win it," claims "Chino" Maidana. "If others haven't been able to do it, I've trained to do what those before me couldn't. I've prepared to be the first one to beat Floyd Mayweather."
Despite facing incredible odds going into this Saturday night's main event from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Sin City, Nevada, the current WBA title holder embraces the role of the underdog and actually uses the odds makers revelation as his motivation.
"It doesn't bother me at all. All I've got to say for people doubting me is to order the fight. Not only are they going to see a good fight, but they're going to see me beat Floyd Mayweather."
Marcos will be stepping into the ring this weekend as one of the more confident fighters in boxing.
Since working with two-time trainer of the year Robert Garcia in Oxnard, California, the hard working, Argentine born fighter has looked stellar, winning four consecutive fights and three by way of knock-out.
Maidana will be looking for a fifth straight win by unlocking the "May-Vinci Code" on May 3rd.
"I'm a much better fighter now that I've been working with trainer Robert Garcia," admits Marcos Maidana. "I feel much better. My punches are connecting even stronger now because the punches are being thrown in a better location with precision. I feel much more confident now that I've been working with Robert Garcia."
"I'm fighting and beating great fighters. I know I can beat Mayweather the same way I defeated Broner. Both of them have a similar defensive style."
"With Broner, everyone thought I had to knock him out to win. But I beat him with a decision. I'm conditioned and prepared to go 12 rounds if it's necessary on May 3rd. I will try to hurt him every time I throw punches and if a knock-out comes, then great...but I'm ready to go the distance and win a decision on Saturday night."

We Will Rock You Musical To End Its 12 Year Run In May
We Will Rock You, the musical which was co-created by Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen will end its 12 year run at London's Dominion Theatre on May 31st.
London's Dominion Theatre will be considerably less rocking after May 31, as the popular Queen-themed musical We Will Rock Youis set to end its 12-year run at the venue that day. The production has run nine years longer than any other show at the theater, and is one of the top 10 longest-running West End shows of all time.
Comedian and playwright Ben Elton, teamed up with May and Taylor to create a huge musical that officially opened on May 14, 2002. When the last curtain drops on May 31st, the musical will have been performed 4,600.
"We want to thank every one of the many hundreds of incredible musical theater artists, musicians and crew with whom we've had the privilege of working at the Dominion since 2002," say May, Taylor and Elton in a joint statement. "And of course the incredible audiences who have rewarded them with over four and a half thousand standing ovations!"

Dry Cured Pork Loin
By Brian Netzel
Published: August 8, 2010
Updated: March 3rd, 2012
Prep time: 10 min
Cure time: 2 weeks
Total time: 2 weeks
Yield: 3½ lbs.
5 lbs. Pork Loin
1 quart Salt
1 cup Brown Sugar
This is an old-world technique for curing meat that can still successfully be used today. The ingredients are simple and easy to find.
Cover the whole pork loin with salt and sugar.
After mixing it together thoroughly and giving the loin a good rub-down with the salt and sugar, cover it tightly in plastic wrap.
Let this stuff sit in refrigeration for about a week. This will allow enough time for the salt to work its way into the cells of the meat and purge water out. The sugar will be drawn in by the salt and offer the illusion of moisture to the finished product.
After a week you'll notice a good amount of liquid in the package. This is the water that was purged from the salt trying to reach an equilibrium of salt to water ratio in the meat.
Rinse all the remaining rub and water off of the cured loin.
Some people use this time as an opportunity to rub spices and seasonings all over the cured piece of meat to add complexity to its flavor. For this demonstration black pepper will do nicely.
After the rinsing and seasoning, the meat needs to hang-dry in refrigeration for about a week to get rid of any residual moisture. Wrapping and tying it in a cloth napkin should do fine.
The finished product should be sliced paper thin, otherwise the fat can be rather chewy. The end result should be a medium red color and dense but not hard texture. It can be refrigerated or frozen whole. The salt content should keep any unwanted microbials out for quite a while.

Former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani was among those who showed up at the Metropolitan Opera last night to denounce the production of The Death of Klinghoffer, which protesters say glorifies terrorism.
Chanting "Shame on the Met!" protesters, numbering about 400, said the performance of the 23-year-old opera was an affront to the memory of Leon Klinghoffer, a passenger on the Italian cruise liner Achille Lauro that was hijacked by members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization in 1985. Klinghoffer, 69, was shot in his wheelchair and dumped overboard.
The New York Times says: "Political figures, including … Giuliani, joined a rally, several hundred strong at Lincoln Center, to denounce an opera that has become the object of a charged debate about art, anti-Semitism and politics."
The Associated Press reports:
"Standing across the street from Lincoln Center, Giuliani said he wanted to warn people that this opera 'is a distorted work.'
" 'If you listen, you will see that the emotional context of the opera truly romanticizes the terrorists,' he said."
The AP says "Monday's performance went on with a few orchestrated disruptions: Boos were shouted from scattered seats, and a voice kept yelling from a balcony, 'The murder of Klinghoffer will never be forgotten!' The evening ended with a standing ovation that drowned out any heckling."
As NPR's Joel Rose reported earlier this week, the opera, by minimalist-inspired composer John Adams, has been a lightning rod since its debut in 1991. Some accuse Adams of being anti-Israel. "But the opera's supporters dispute that. They argue that Klinghoffer is a dramatic masterpiece that deserves to make its Met debut on Monday," Joel reports.

What's worth watching, and what might not be, in prime time on Tuesday.
Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show | USA, 8 ET/PT
President Obama's State of the Union Address (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and multiple cable news outlets, 9 ET/6 PT) has chased away most new network competitors, but cable does provide some alternatives for those seeking one. Movie lovers can turn to TCM for Citizen Kane (8 ET/5 PT), the Orson Welles' classic that regularly ranks among the 10 best films ever made. (Plus, seeing as the film is at least inspired by the life of William Randolph Hearst, it makes an interesting companion piece for American Experience's Rockefeller film.) Canine lovers, however, are more likely to turn to the conclusion of America's best known dog show, the Westminster Kennel Club show held at New York's Madison Square Garden. May the best (as in basset) dog win.
CRITIC'S CORNER CHAT: Read the latest transcript
John D. Rockefeller: American Experience | PBS, 9 ET/PT, times may vary
Those of a historical bent looking for another option might be interested in this latest, two-hour American Experience film, which profiles one of America's most controversial and contradictory figures: John D. Rockefeller, the King of the Robber Barons. By some reckonings the wealthiest person who ever lived (and almost certainly the richest who ever actually worked to earn his fortune), Rockefeller was hated by some for the way he gained his fortune and loved by others for what he did with it. Either way, he's a man worth remembering.
Justified | FX, 10 ET/PT
Tonight on one of TV's best and most entertaining series, Boyd and Ava struggle to break into Harlan high society. Sort of like The Unsinkable Molly Brown, with murders and hookers.

Toby Gabriner Quits as Carat Fusion President
Toby Gabriner, president of Carat Fusion, will quit the $320-million-billings direct and interactive agency at the end of the year, kicking off a search for his replacement.He joined the agency in May 2003 as managing director of the San Francisco office, moving up to chief operating officer and then in January becoming president of the agency.
Gabriner's decision to quit for career reasons comes only two months after Carat Interactive merged with Carat Direct to become Carat Fusion. The agency's offices in San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles and Chicago handle accounts like Gateway, Jenny Craig, Adidas, AOL, Kodak and RadioShack.
Sarah Fay will temporarily replace Gabriner. She was his predecessor at Carat and currently is president of the agency's parent company, British-owned Aegis' Isobar network. Isobar owns shops like Molecular and iProspect.
"The good news is that he's not going to a competitor," Fay said. "It's a company in the digital space and someone we might partner with. We're beginning a search for Toby's replacement. We're considering all options inside and outside the agency.
"It's not a surprise," she said. "It's something that we'd discussed in the past month. It's a matter of wanting to do something different."

Building a Database on Best Management Practices for Pesticide Applications to Aquatic Environments and NOAA Trust Species
- Publisher
- The Oregon Water Conference
- Publication Date
- Keywords
- Disciplines
Pesticides are widely used to control undesirable pests and may be applied directly to water or lands directly adjacent to water. Pesticides are an option for habitat restoration but there can be unintended consequences to native, threatened and endangered species. There is very little information on the impacts of pesticides and best management practices (BMPs) on NOAA Trust Species. The purpose of this project is to develop a comprehensive report of pesticide best management practices for use in aquatic environments and relate these BMPs for the protection of aquatic species, specifically NOAA Trust Species. The project focuses on aquatic pesticides including insecticides, fungicides, algaecides, herbicides, piscicides, molluscicides and mosquitocides. The final product will include a database of pesticide label information, empirical data on the acute and chronic toxicity of each pesticide and its formulations, identify gaps in knowledge to pesticide use, trends, fate in aquatic systems, synergistic effects and best management practices for NOAA Trust Species. Life history and biogeography data for each NOAA Trust Species will be used along with toxicity data to determine the greatest risk for exposure/impact to help inform BMPs. NOAA needs this information to develop a pesticides general permit application as it relates to NOAA Trust Species. Challenges of this project include addressing NOAA Trust Species when there is very limited direct impact data as well as extrapolating data from surrogate species which may have more toxicity and impact data. Another challenge is creating a database that is intuitive and useful for managers in making decisions about pesticide use and restoration for NOAA Trust Species.

Hooray for Chili!
Once again, the powers that be made this year's community tree lighting event a major success. Despite temps in the not so balmy mid 20s, there was a fantastic turnout again this year.
Lots of great crafters at the sale inside……we got some adorable snowmen for the house and also some chocolate mice and chocolate marshmallows from the Girl Scouts there. The kids decorated delicious sugar cookies with help from smiling Senior Center volunteers and got holiday tattoos at another table manned by ladies from the recreation office. There was caroling, fresh popcorn and hot cocoa and yummy hot dogs right off the outdoor grill.
Kids from the SOS choir entertained with beautiful renditions of traditional carols and a young man from the crowd–named Brandon and a Paul Road School student–volunteered to lead the assembled masses in a rousing rendition of Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer. Supervisor Dunning and town board members Mary Sperr and Ginny Ignatowski were on hand to officially light the trees at the complex. Nicely lit they are, too! It looks so festive!
With that done, it was time for Santa and Rudolph to take the waiting little ones on wagon rides! As if by magic, as soon as the first wagon pulled up, it started to snow some big, fat , fluffy flakes. They couldn't have planned better ambiance!
Kudos need to go out to Mike Curley and the folks at the Recreation Department as well as Mary Anne Sears and her terrific Senior Center people. Once again, they teamed to put on a wonderful community holiday event. It was delightful and a fantastic way to get out and meet old friends and make new ones.
I love living in Chili!

The Forty-year Run
November 1992 | Volume 43, Issue 7
Hearst had thirty liberal fortunes, and they helped buy 263 votes at the Democratic convention in St. Louis in 1904—the closest he ever got to his obsession. In the end, however, Judge Alton Brooks Parker won the nomination, and Henry G. Davis was picked as his running mate. The rumors of Hearst's profligate purchasing of delegates played a role in his defeat, but what hurt him most was his reputation as a womanizer. It cost him Bryan's support, which was essential.
It was also a turning point for Hearst. From this time hence he saw his newspapers not as a voice to plead the cause of the common man but as tools to secure the Presidency.
Hearst supported Parker in 1904, and although the judge lost, Hearst was re-elected to Congress. But he began to move away from the Democrats and would soon start his own party of real "Jeffersonian Democrats"—the Independence League (later party). In his second term in Congress, he became a little more effective. He developed the "Hearst Brigade" of loyal congressmen—the most important for Hearst, as it turned out, being John Nance "Jack" Garner of Texas, who saw in him presidential timber.
At the same time, Hearst's men in New York were playine out another journalistic story that would reveal as much about Hearst's political passions as any single thing he did. Two young men, James Wilkins and Charles Stump, had stolen some letters from John D. Archbold, a vice president of Standard Oil and close associate of John D. Rockefeller. They thought the letters might bring some money, considering how often Standard Oil was in the newspapers, and contacted an American editor. He said he was not interested in these letters but would be interested in any between Archbold and a public official—and even supplied Wilkins and Stump with a list of two hundred public officials whose correspondence with Archbold he would like to see. Eventually the two men stole enough letters and sold them to Hearst to enable them to open a saloon on Seventh Avenue. And the letters were worth it because they revealed that Archbold was indeed Standard Oil's chief political operative and had made payments in cash to legislators in return for favorable legislation.
Any real journalist, having rationalized the use of stolen letters for the good of the commonweal, would rush his scoop into print. But politics was Hearst's game, not journalism; some of the politicians implicated were Democrats, and he would need their support in 1906 and 1908; others were critics of Roosevelt whom he did not wish to silence. So he decided to keep the letters under wraps until they would do him the most good—which turned out to be three years later, when a presidential campaign was beginning.
In 1906 Hearst was ready to run for governor of New York—which is where Lincoln Steffens enters the picture, because everyone knew Hearst's race for the governorship was but a step toward the White House.
The thing that impressed Steffens most in his American article, "Hearst the Man of Mystery," was his subject's total self-reliance and indifference to what others thought or did or said about him: "He counts on himself and his own. Have your baseball nine, run your own publications, organize your own political party. That's the way to get done the things that you want to have done. Do it yourself."
And how did he do it? With his money and his newspapers, said Steffens, maintaining that Hearst had admitted "he wanted circulation not for the profit but for the power. He regards his newspapers as a means to that end." And what was that end? "I mean to restore democracy in the United States."
But, reported Steffens, "Mr. Hearst said 'I' and he means 'I.'" He wanted to give the people democracy the way other rich men give them schools, libraries, hospitals. Hearst would "do things." But Steffens stressed that "the things he says he would do are not bad, they are right. If democracy in the United States is to be restored, they are absolutely necessary."
However, Steffens concluded that "Mr. Hearst does not personify the new American spirit." Hearst was a boss—a "boss who would like to give us democratic government.… But we don't want Mr. Hearst to give us 'democratic government.'… We want to get that for ourselves."

what, its easy has fuck aim any machinegun on this game.
those 3 guns have huge firerate and damge.
what, its easy has fuck aim any machinegun on this game.
those 3 guns have huge firerate and damge.
They can nerf them after they give them 100% inheritance so you can actually hit people when chasing.
Also you forgot to mention Raider's SMG which is just beast. Tech SMG being good makes sense seeing as he just has that for attacking, though the fact I am able to ski to an enemy flag stand on dry dock and dominate their defense is off.
Juggernaut Machine gun needs a nerf of some type. 80 round clip with a .25 spin-up time makes it better then the chaingun in almost everyway. It fires 5% faster then it to so the fact its only 80 dmg a shot doesn't matter often.
i hate it when im racing away with the flag and i go to [VGTG] and accidentally start typing in chat
karma is a bitch
youre joking right?
I know what I'm using MY xp on next!
What are obsidian badges?
Dat bolt launcher
The highest level of a badge.
doombringer mines
best unlock, bar none. ever, in any game.
kills galore, and you get more ammo. use with safety third and you get an extra one too! use with your shields and never see a flag cap on your watch.
Oh god, the feeling when you manage to stop the final cap in a 4-4 match with an orbital strike that kills 10 people and allow your team to claim the win. Also blocking a last second e-grab, Super Heavy style. I shivered. I got a teamkill and quatra kill. 50-7-11.
Oh man. I was just in a game where the enemy team had five infiltrators and three raiders and they went after our generator the entire game. We still won though. For some reason no one ever thinks to look for turrets behind them when they use the back entrance to the gen room in sunstar.
So i was a pathfinder on the drydock map using my impact nitrons to retrieve our flag
And i say in the chat, "how many flag returns i have?"
and then some dude with the inf says, idk with that op grenade
the irony was that he was using the jackal
Got 17 flag returns and 1558 xp without boost and vip
I love playing as Doombringer on Crossfire and Katabatic
Hey guys I got an idea
INF with fully upgraded Sanic Punch and fully upgraded Close Combat
You're now an invisible backstabbing man who can send people flying.
The spinfusor upgrades say "+%20 damage vs armored". Is this players or vehicles?
Vehicles and all buildings except the generator
Well that was satisfying. I was playing as a Sandraking Brute on Drydock, had the enemy flag. Was within a couple of meters from our flag stand, when a Pathfinder was about to do an E-Grab. I blew him out of the air with the heavy spinfusor, got a Blue Plate Special medal, and won the game. Damn that felt good.
I got invited into Closed Beta and never played it, now I'm installing the game. Dunno what to expect
but sounds fun.
Welcome and have fun.
Don't waste your free gold unlocking classes and never grab flags at low speed.
Get ready to go sanicspeed
Interesting stuff. Also some soldier packs if you missed out on the earlier promos.
I noticed someone said something about a melee build.
Can you punch people while ski-ing? I would love to make a troll build where I just fly into someone and punch them to death. Not sure if that's possible, but it sounds cool.
The Thumper just feels so good. It's so fun to use and it actually works.
This is what goes through my mind while I'm using it.
Ok, so I played my first game. Dear God, this is totally filling my craving after Unreal Tournament 3 was just a snooze-fest with a lack of players.
I mean... some of the speeds while ski-ing is incredible, and then I was holding the flag and someone sniped me while I was going like 170. Jesus, this game is awesome.
First game since December, it's improved heaps, they took away my Spinfusor for the soldier though :/.
Game seems way easier too, got a reasonable 14 kills in the match I played. Might try buy some stuff with horded XP. Have like 61900 to throw around, is that enough to afford anything now they've adjusted prices?
So I've narrowed down my two classes to Tech and Pathfinder, because I refuse to go super slow. Pathfinder is easily my favorite because capping is the greatest thing ever. Tech because killing anyone going for our flag is cool too.
And Facebook got rid of the free gold thing, does anyone have an extra code that I can use for my account?
I just tried this game for the fist time, and it's quite fun. Though I'd perfer to be able to play atleast one defensive class from the start, which is a pain since I like to play defensive or support.
Nontheless it's a really fun game
Crossfire is fucking hated by infs, at least by the ones I know, it's too cramped, one mortar in the gen room and everything dies.
If I remember right I was the original gangsta that did this on FP, back when people said the crossbow and mines sucked
I bought every class but the Brute in one go, last time I played I couldn't afford shit, what happened?
When is the official release? (aka when do I get the exclusive badge?)
Is there a limit on how many mines I can spam as a Sentinel with a supply drop?
Default is three(at least it is for doombringer), 4 with safety third fully upgraded.
Ah, I had three down before I got bored of stupidly placing Claymores around my sniper nest.
April 12th. If you are level 10 by then you get the badge.
Fuck yeah, first pack giveaway that I've actually been at my computer for. You're the hero of my weekend man.
What is the best classs?unlocks to have then you first start the game? I have 250 gold.
jump pack for pathfinder
Jump pack is an opinion unlock imo, I actually prefer the sustain of the energy pack, Though it is awesome for some unusual flag cap routes and chasing flag cappers with rage.

Consider this scenario. A Connecticut governor is facing a serious allegation of ethical misconduct. An adverse decision by the Office of State Ethics would prove politically devastating. Release of unflattering documents by the Freedom of Information Commission would not help. The governor instructs an executive administrator - who he appointed and can dismiss - to have a meeting with the lawyers looking into the allegation, just to assure the review doesn't reach any "misguided" conclusions.
Heretofore such a situation would have been impossible, but troubling changes proposed by the Malloy administration would tear down the wall between the governor and the officials charged with keeping an eye on the administration and all government operations.
Beginning in the 1970s, lawmakers created the so-called watchdog agencies - Ethics, the Freedom of Information Commission, and the State Elections Enforcement Commission - to assure state government operated ethically, openly and impartially for all. Since then the legislature has sought to insulate these agencies from any hint of political influence.
With the stated intent of streamlining government, Gov. Malloy last year persuaded the legislature to roll the watchdogs and several other agencies with various degrees of regulatory and monitoring authority into a new Office of Government Accountability (OGA). The purpose was to cut costs by streamlining some backroom office operations and sharing resources. Ethics, FOI and Elections Enforcement have seen their staffs cut by about one-third.
To oversee the OGA the legislature created the new position of "executive administrator" and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy appointed David Guay.
The legislature, however, recognized the potential for conflicts and did not want Malloy, or any future governor, having too much influence over the watchdogs. It created a committee with representatives from each of the nine agencies in the OGA. It was that committee that Mr. Guay was to work with, and the legislature gave it the authority to dismiss him if it saw fit. Also, the governor's budget office was to continue transmitting the proposed budgets of the watchdog agencies to the legislature without revision. Lawmakers added this protection a decade ago when they perceived that a Republican governor, John G. Rowland (who would resign amidst a corruption scandal that sent him to prison for a year), was trying to weaken the agencies.
It was a classic compromise - Gov. Malloy could get his consolidation but the legislature maintained the wall of separation.
But Mr. Guay has chafed under the arrangement, contending he does not have the means to manage the OGA properly. When the OGA committee sought to evaluate his performance, he ignored it, saying the committee did not have the authority.
Now the governor, in his latest budget proposal, has come down squarely on the side of Mr. Guay. Under his planned changes, the governor's office would prepare the watchdog agency budgets for submission to the legislature and retain control over finances and staffing levels. The changes would eliminate the committee and Mr. Guay, or any successor, would answer only to the governor.
Ethics, FOI and Elections Enforcement now have their own teams of specialized lawyers. The administration's plan would pool them into a single Office of Hearings, where they would have to be cross-trained and serve under Mr. Guay's authority. The administration places the savings, with the elimination of two positions, at $187,000. But this idea creates its own potential conflicts. What if the FOI was demanding information that Ethics considered exempt from disclosure, or Ethics was investigating misconduct at Elections Enforcement?
We cannot know for sure the governor's motivation, but he should understand how this looks - not good. Gov. Malloy invites the perception that his administration is trying to gain control over those charged with assuring transparency and integrity in government. He is creating a situation under which the public would view with cynicism any decisions clearing his or a future administration of misconduct.
Ben Barnes, the secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, rejects such concerns as unfounded. The governor and his appointee would have no influence over decisions rendered by Ethics, FOI or Elections Enforcement, Mr. Barnes said, but their budgets and management should rightly come under the executive branch. As for any conflicts if the lawyers are pooled into one office, they can work that out, said Mr. Barnes.
We view this power grab more seriously. The legislature should reject the governor's proposal and retain the integrity and independence of these vital guarantors of honest government.

I keep saying I don't collect Barbie dolls but...
She has the anorexic, twisty model body but I like her anyway.
Did you know that if you click on an image, it will open larger in another window? Try it.
7 comments:
I think this girl has caught everyone's eye. It's nice that there's actually some variety in the BB line, even if they do come on the useless model bodies. I'm the same way about Barbie dolls, but every once in a while, one with a different head mold or facial screening that's just a little bit off will catch my eye. She always gets a new body, though!
I love the jewelry, by the way! :)- Anonymous2/21/10, 6:28 PM
DollGrrlTrixie here...
sorry to correct you, terri
model #4 is the GODDESS sculpt not nichelle I wish I knew! I have some dolls this skin tone that are still waiting for bodies :( There are more articulated dolls these days, but fewer skin tones than ever, it seems. Maybe the Alvin Ailey Doll? I'm not sure she's dark enough, though. And kind of crazy just to get her to rip her head off, lol. If you find one, I hope you'll let us know!

OK, so it's kind of a contradiction for a sangria, which is named for its blood-red color, to be made with white wine, but once you've tasted this festive thirst quencher it won't matter a bit. Pieces of mixed summer melons are the perfect match for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.
Nutrition Profile: Heart Healthy Low Calorie Low Carb Low Cholesterol Low Sat Fat Low Sodium
Serves 6
Prep Time 10 min
Total Time 30 min.
Step 1
Stir melon and sugar together in a large pitcher. Let stand for 15 to 30 minutes to draw out the juices.
Step 2
Just before serving, stir wine, brandy, Triple Sec (or other orange liqueur) and sparkling water (or club soda) into the pitcher. Add ice cubes to 6 glasses. Fill the glasses with the sangria, spooning some of the fruit into each glass. Garnish each drink with a slice of lime (or starfruit) and a sprig of mint.

Q. We need some reasonable corrosion protection for out parts, and our powder coating is failing in salt spray testing after nearly 300 hours. What should we change to enhance our salt spray results? B.P.
A. First, let's be clear on the difference between salt spray results and corrosion resistance in field use. Salt spray is a measurement of how well the coating holds up in a salt spray cabinet. It cannot predict the real resistance to a particular environment. It is useful for comparison of different treatment and coating options, but it does not predict field life. If you need to understand the potential field life you should use some type of cyclic testing.
When a coating does not have good resistance in a corrosion test it can be from several different causes:
- The surface that the powder is applied to is not clean enough or lacks a sufficient conversion coating. For example, iron phosphate on steel with a single coat of powder will usually provide around 250 to 500 hours of salt spray resistance; zinc phosphate can increase that to between 500 and 1,000 hours; a primer coat and topcoat combination can give you well over 1,000 hours of salt spray.
- Your coating may not have very good performance properties. If you need corrosion resistance, be sure to let your powder supplier know it.
- The coating could be applied too thin. Be sure you have at least 3 mils of coating if you need corrosion resistance.
- The coating may be under-cured. Be sure that the film is fully cured.
If you have a satisfactory cleaning and pretreatment setup, a good powder, and good coverage at the necessary thickness you should be able to meet your salt spray requirements.

We may find it unlikely to see former "Hee Haw Honey" Misty Rowe directing a doo-wop show at the Riviera.
But it's just the latest in what Rowe, now 63, calls "my very strange and absurd career."
Rowe was brought in to launch "Forever Doo Wop" in the Riviera's Le Bistro Lounge. It's an eight-person cabaret revue fronted by Early Clover, who was part of Cornell Gunter's Coasters, and an oldies package that played the Sahara and Rio for most of this young century.
"We needed an extra set of eyes," Clover says of the new show that opened Tuesday and will play alongside (with some overlapping performers) the already road-tested "Forever Motor City," directed by Gary Kupper. "Doo Wop" runs at 7 p.m., followed by "Motor City" at 9.
Clover has known Rowe for years, performing in shows affiliated with her producer husband, Barry Singer (this one, however, is produced by the new Red Mercury Entertainment, which has contracted most of the Riviera's entertainment).
The rest of us lost track of Rowe sometime after the '70s. But she has rolled up a lot of experience in this niche, directing 20 live shows in the past 14 years, including a relevant one called "The Ultimate Doo Wop Christmas Show."
For years, Rowe played Houston housewife Louise in various stagings of the two-character musical "Always … Patsy Cline." She made the jump to directing that show and others in Atlantic City.
"I love choreographing for singers," she says, and "I'm used to blocking a show."
Perhaps one day Las Vegas will see Rowe perform her autobiographical "Blondes Still Have More Fun!" Based on the stories she can tell in a half-hour or so, it sounds like the Riviera should make room for it as well.
Just to drop a few names, Rowe says she played a carhop in the "Happy Days" episode that marked Ron Howard's directorial debut. And that she hired future "Game of Thrones" star Peter Dinklage in 2000 for her Atlantic City revue "A Misty Christmas."
Ah, but it's "Hee Haw," and maybe a Playboy pictorial, that most of us remember.
"I think I went to 'Hee Haw' with $28 in my pocket I was so young," Rowe says of the show she spent 19 years with starting in 1972. The cash didn't last until the first per diem payment, so she asked to borrow $5 in lunch money from one of her co-workers.
Marianne Gordon (later the fourth wife of Kenny Rogers) "took $20 out and said, 'Here honey.' She thought, 'This girl's a ditz, I'll never see this again.' She likes to tell the story that not only did I pay her back, but the following year I bought my first house."
Rowe's friendship with Hugh Hefner's gal pal Barbi Benton led to a Playboy spread more seen than most, because it ran in the same 1976 issue as the Jimmy Carter "adultery in my heart" interview. The presidential candidate generated so much press there were runs on newsstand copies the day the magazine came out.
"I asked for a female photographer, complete approval of the pictures and twice as much as the Playmates got — which I bought another house with, by the way." …
Hey, what happened to the rest of The Scintas?
Last Saturday, the D's headliner show changed its collective name to solo bill its frontman, "Frankie Scinta."
Brother Joe Scinta is "still my comedic relief," Frankie says. "He still does his impressions and that is Joe. That funny, silly, interrupting brother." And the brothers didn't take the sides you might expect when the D's marketing department suggested the change to simplify billboards and ads.
"Immediately I said, 'What are you, crazy?'" he recalls. "My brother Joe was the first one that said, 'That's really a good idea.' "
The changes run deeper than the billing. The act that appealed more to retirees and aging baby boomers is now covering pop hits by Bruno Mars, Avicii and Coldplay.
"They love the way we entertain (but) wanted us to appeal to a younger crowd," Frankie explains. "We've really updated the music and the feel of the show."
But he's not going to forget where he came from either.
"I want a kid who is 19 or 20 to know who Dean Martin was. … This is what built this town, that kind of music."
Also at the D, resident afternoon magician Adam London finds Thursday, April 10 of the fourth month of the year, a fine date to celebrate 410 shows of his "Laughternoon" there. …
Criss Angel's show is off line this week, as he readies "Believe" to return Tuesday. Sunday brought the end of an interim effort called "Magicjam," in which he enlisted the aid of fellow magicians while waiting for his arm and shoulder to heal from surgery in January.

TransUnion Intelligence LLC ("TransUnion") filed a patent infringement action against SearchAmerica. After expert reports were served, SearchAmerica moved to exclude all references to the doctrine of equivalents and sought confirmation from TransUnion that they will not attempt to rely on a doctrine of equivalents theory for the remainder of the case.
In support of its motion, SearchAmerica argued that TransUnion should be prohibited from relying on the doctrine of equivalents infringement theory because the Scheduling Order required TransUnion to specify the details of such a theory in its claims charts.
In response, TransUnion maintained that because it pled the doctrine of equivalents in its Amended Complaint, it should be allowed to update its theory of the case after the Markman hearing, if necessary. The district court disagreed.
The district court explained that "[i][n light of the facts before it, the Court construes SearchAmerica's motion as one to exclude evidence as a sanction for failure to comply with the Scheduling Order. Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 16(f)(1)(C) ("On a motion or on its own, the court may issue any just orders, including those authorized by Rule 37(b)(2)(A)(ii)-(vii), if a party or its attorney [ ] fails to obey a scheduling order [ ]."); Fed R. Civ. Pro. 37(b)(2)(A)(ii) ("If a party [ ] fails to obey an order [ ] the court where the action is pending may issue further just orders [including] prohibiting the disobedient party from supporting or opposing designated claims or defenses, or from introducing designated matters in evidence.").
The district court then found that "TransUnion clearly did not abide by the Scheduling Order in this case because it made no mention of the doctrine of equivalents in its Claims Chart. TransUnion is thus prohibited from relying on the doctrine of equivalents for the remainder of this suit.
