Every person who has ever gotten a tattoo had to start with an idea for its design. Of course, sometimes this is done on a dare, as in the case of the Rolex one that Mark McGrath received after a night of drinking. Let's just say that he called it his dumbest tat. Don't make the same mistake. Choose your tattoo wisely. Do your research ahead of time and go into the shop with a clear image of what you would like to receive, otherwise, you may end up hating your chosen design the next day or you may choose one that will become embarrassing later in life. Any inked design that you put on your body should be somewhat unique in that there should be a reason or a meaning behind the design you choose. Don't just find yourself in the tattoo parlor with a blank stare on your face searching through thousands of images…do some research before ever stepping inside the shop.
If you are a girl, maybe you would like to have one in the shape of a heart or maybe a butterfly. If you are a man, maybe the tribal designs are more to your liking. Whichever is the case for you, take your time and search out the online galleries of art available. At home, using the online gallery, you will not feel so rushed to make a decision. You can take as long as you like to look at the images. Once you find a few you like print them out and ask you friends what they think. They will give you an honest opinion and tell you what they like best. Remember, this tattoo will be with you for a long time…maybe forever, so make sure you pick the one right for you.

Swedish truck maker Scania is preparing to roll out a new global positioning system (GPS) linked cruise control system for its Central and Western European customers in early 2012 -- one that will enable trucks to "see" the road ahead when in cruise control mode and thus automatically modulate speed with greater efficiency, thus boosting fuel economy by up to 3%, in Scania's estimation.
GPS, as well all know, is a satellite-based navigation system, consisting of a network of 24 orbiting satellites eleven thousand nautical miles in space.
These satellites provide detailed electronic "maps" that motorists and truckers alike are using with greater frequency to fulfill location-finding and route-planning needs, instead of thumbing through dog-eared paper maps (the method I still prefer, though, to be completely honest).
However, Scania is taking GPS to a whole new level in combination with its cruise control technology. Dubbed Scania Active Prediction, the system is touted as being "intuitive" with the ability to adapt a truck's operating style to the road's topography – "looking ahead" some 3 kilometers or 1.86 miles ahead of the vehicle at all times.
Scania added that its GPS-linked cruise control package should also help experienced drivers save fuel when driving on new routes, in the dark or under adverse weather conditions.
[Watch the video below for a nice summation about how the Scania Active Predication system works.]
Scania said the system should work with minimal hiccups because there's enough topographic map data available today for around 95% of the road network in Central and Western Europe to make it effective. Obviously, such data is the critical linchpin for making GPS-enabled cruise control work, so if it's lacking, such a system might not deliver the expected savings
So, while we're at it, let's examine the potential fuel savings offered by this technology. Scania said that based on a 40-tonne truck combination (what we call a "tractor-trailer" on this side of the pond) running 180,000 km (about 111,847 miles) per year, a fuel savings of 3% would cut diesel consumption by about 1,700 litres (some 449.09 gallons) per year and reduce carbon emissions by four tonnes.
[Of course, it takes engines properly "tuned" to a truck's expected duty cycle to deliver the fuel savings expected from such technology – something Scania is well aware of as it continues to figure out ways to get more horsepower out of its engine designs while maintaining emission compliance and reducing maintenance complexity.]
If you figure diesel costs $4 a gallon stateside, then this GPS-linked cruise technology – if it were available over here – would save a U.S. fleet $1,796.36 annually; if, of course, the technology performed consistently, as advertised.
Scania took pains to point out that this system will deliver maximum benefits on what it refers to as "undulating routes," where the roads are never entirely flat. Thus, for a fleet running long miles out in the Western regions of the U.S. (the great state of Texas comes to mind here), such technology again might not deliver all the savings one would expect.
Still, this is a pretty neat use of technology – and if delivers the expected fuel savings, you might see similar systems start popping up in the U.S. pretty soon as well.

ERG was a science fiction fanzine published by Terry Jeeves (1922- 2011).
ERG was Terry's own personal fanzine and was produced on an old duplicator. ERG was always filled with Terry's illustration, which he handcut into the duplicator's wax stencils. The quality of the illustrations produced by others using the same medium was rarely matched.
ERG was published from April 1959 til 2005. 166 issues were released. It was distributed by Offtrails Magazine Publishers Association, while it existed. The last issue appeared in 2004.
Contributors included Eric Needham (Now & Then).
Letters came from Ted Hughes, Ken Lake and Eric Mayer, among many others.
Terry Jeeves was a major force in founding the British Science Fiction Association in 1958, and was responsible for naming the club zine, Vector, and created the art work for the first cover, as well as being one of the editors for 1958-1959. He was also co-editor of Triode with Eric Bentcliffe, and one of the editors of The Damned Patrol. along with Joe Gibson, John Berry, and Beryl Mercer.
Terry Jeeves won the Rotsler Award for fanzine artists in 2007 and was inducted into the First Fandom Hall of Fame in 2010.

Main Tahoe armed robbery suspect gets 7-23 years in prison
November 12, 2013
INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — The main suspect in an armed robbery last winter at the Incline Village Chevron was sentenced last week to serve seven to 23 years in prison.
Jorge Miranda-Rivas, 19, of Incline Village, was sentenced Nov. 7 in Washoe County district court for his role in the Jan. 2, 2013, incident at the gas station at 898 Tahoe Blvd., according to statement from the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
Miranda-Rivas was found guilty in September of the following felony charges:
• robbery with a deadly weapon,
• discharging a weapon from within a structure,
• assault with a deadly weapon; and

• grand larceny of an automobile.
Wearing a bandana as a mask, Miranda-Rivas reportedly struck the gas station's clerk, fired a revolver inside the store and fled with an undisclosed amount of money.
A WCSO investigation led to the arrest of Miranda-Rivas, who was 18 at the time of the incident. A fourth suspect, Jorge Torres, 19, of Kings Beach, was arrested in January by the Placer County Sheriff's Office on a related auto theft charge.
All four North Tahoe residents allegedly were involved with or had knowledge of the Chevron robbery and an attempted armed robbery involving a masked suspect on Dec. 29, 2012, at Kings Beach Liquors at 8645 North Lake Blvd.
According to previous reports, one of the juveniles, 17, pleaded guilty and is serving his sentence in the Jan Evans Juvenile Justice Center in Reno.
The other juvenile has since turned 18, Sawyer said. Kevin Anguiano, of Incline Village, faces felony charges of robbery with a deadly weapon and grand larceny of an automobile.
Torres pleaded guilty to one grand larceny of an automobile charge and faces 1-6 years in prison.

The Rise of Right-Wing Extremism: The Politics of Memory in Europe and Beyond

Lancaster University - Interdisciplinary Workshop
The Rise of Rightwing Extremism: The Politics of Memory in Europe and Beyond
March 11, 2010
Much research in the Social Sciences provides ample evidence for the current rise of rightwing extremism and rightwing populism in most European Union member states. On the one hand, neo-Nazi movements are to be observed; on the other, these times also witness the spread of more electorally viable, and therefore perhaps more virulent, forces of so-called Haiderization, which tries to disguise the face of extremism under a mask of populist respectability. The elections for the European Parliament (June 2009) illustrate this claim well: the shift to the far right across almost all EU member states can be explained only very partially through global social and economic developments. The specificities have to be related to the histories and collective experiences in each member state.
In Britain, for example, the British National Party (BNP) attracted 943,598 votes (6.2% of the total), and achieved a sufficient percentage in two constituencies to elect two people as MEPs - the party leader and convicted Holocaust denier Nick Griffin for North West England (132,094; 8.0%), and veteran fascist and ex-member of the National Socialist Movement Andrew Brons for Yorkshire and the Humber (120,139; 9.8%). The election of Brons, in particular, indexes an unbroken ideological continuity between the contemporary BNP and open Nazism and Hitler-worship in the 1960s. In Austria, the extreme right-wing populist party, FPÖ (the Austrian Freedom Party), attracted 12.7% and thus doubled their votes and MEPs (currently standing at two, one of them being Andreas Mölzer, the editor of the extreme right-wing newspaper Zur Zeit); the BZÖ (the second extreme right wing party in Austria) achieved 4.6% and thus failed the 5% benchmark. In Hungary, the openly anti-Semitic and anti-Roma party Jobbik, which employs a paramilitary organisation dressed in black with emblems resembling the Nazi Swastika, attracted 14.77%; their salient slogan is 'Hungary First', echoing slogans like 'Germany First' ['Deutschland Zuerst'] or 'Austria First' ['Österreich Zuerst'], all of which connote beliefs and ideologies about who is to be considered as a 'real Austrian, German or Hungarian', and who is not, based on traditional, latent and sometimes manifest, nativist and racist views.
Current socio-political developments are therefore influenced by conflicts among the many versions of the national past to which different social groups and political movements subscribe, and these developments frequently are only to be understood in their entirety if the range of competing narratives is taken into account - something Reinhart Koselleck has so rightly pointed to in his seminal book 'Vergangene Zukunft' [Futures Past]: present and future are always influenced by the immediate past; indeed there is no present or future without taking the past into consideration (Koselleck 1972, 1985).
Memories of the Holocaust have served as a moral and intellectual touchtone at the very centre of the study of memory as a social phenomenon. The genocide against Europe's Jews, while demanding to be understood in its specificity and uniqueness, has also become a paradigm of a historical experience that must not be forgotten. Yet if the memory of the Holocaust has carried such weight in the official discourses of international institutions, in the legal codes of various states, and in the consciences of liberals and democrats, how are we to understand the resurgence of right-wing extremism in relation to the memory/ies of the past? Casual references to the concepts of repression or denial that model socio-political processes on the structure of the human psyche will not account for the relevant phenomena: how do narratives of denial achieve their purchase on the minds of human subjects?
To theorize the extreme right's version of the past as an exercise of repression and denial is, in any event, to remain snared in something like Foucault's "repressive hypothesis". Right-wing extremists' relationship to the past cannot be thought about as mere avoidance, neglect or negationism; instead, this workshop will also attempt to understand the uses to which the far right puts the past as a 'positive and politically generative' force: What narratives of the past set the course for the current vectors of right-wing extremism? What mythic pasts do they venerate and wish others to mourn? Which remembered injuries do they wish to salve? What forms of nostalgia do they wish to stimulate and exploit for present ends? The seeming lack of collective memory when it comes to even recent authoritarian and illiberal political pasts demonstrates a continuing need for historic contextualisation of discourse and for the rigorous analysis of the modalities through which processes of denial and confabulation advance the goals of political movements and colonize the minds of human subjects.
The interdisciplinary workshop, organized by the Research Cluster Dynamics of Memory and the Research Group Language, Ideology, and Power, Lancaster University, will take place March 11, 2010. Specific historical developments will be discussed which impinge on current rightwing extremist ideologies and policies across European member states. Local activists and NGOs will report some of their experiences in counteracting the rise of rightwing extremism. Throughout, the effort will be to understand these political developments as phenomena related to memory: the dynamic interaction of denial and creation in right-wing extremists' mobilization of the past.

They're fixing the UI. Thank you BioWare.
In Patch 1.1.4, they're adding the ability to customise the look of cooldowns. And even better, you can add cooldown text to the icons a la OmniCC.
In Patch 1.2, they're adding in target of target unit frames and UI customisations such as scaling and element movement.

While bugs exist, its not as bad as I used to be. I suppose if SWTOR can hang on to its 1M players, the next expac will be
Back on my Trooper. I find that I simply cannot play any other class. Either too squishy, or not ranged. Spoke like a true huntard.

Uh... I think heads are starting to roll for the flop (money loss wise) that was this game... Drew Karpyshyn is leaving Bioware http://gamerant.com/mass-effect-koto...-brian-134075/ (no offense fans, just stating the exuberant cost of the game vs how little money it made (estimated 350 mil to 550 mil cost to develop this game, vs the high unsubscribe rate and not as big of a launch as expected by many, etc...))
Yeah, the article says something else "leaving to work on his books" but lets face it due to the timing and his lack of work on Mass Effect 3 (I mean wow, not being allowed to write another Mass Effect book (the latest one was written by William C. Dietz named Deception is god awful, I wasted my money buying it and ended up wishing Drew Karpyshyn had written it even after how much I hated the book Revan)). I can only conclude that there is more to this story than we are being told, since it sounds like any "retirement" announcement we get from a politician after they've had a scandal.
I honestly, was not a fan of most of the plot of TOR and was greatly disappointed with it but I honestly don't know how much Drew Karpyshyn was responsible for it's direction only that he was involved with much of it. So I'm not sure his leaving the company is justified but then again if he was responsible for a lot of it I can see why they may have fired him (or at least forced him out) after his plot cost the company that much money (or at least contributed to it).
I think his book Revan likely made him an easy target since so many fans of Kotor 1 and 2 took their frustration of all there fav characters being killed off, never mentioned, and/or "changed" out on the book... if you rad the comments on the books Amazon page it is just filled with countless bad ratings: 5 star: (37); 4 star: (27); 3 star: (26); 2 star: (38); 1 star: (35)... worse only the bad writings have huge number of this write up was helpful marks. Also quite a few of the 1 and 2 star reviews are essays, when the 5 star comments are quite clearly in many cases paid for comments or friends/family of the author... that are just a sentence or two that just say Drew is awesome or something to that effect. Oh, for those of you that didn't know amazon gives rewards (free stuff) to there top 1,000 commenters (they've surveyed these people and they say it's become an addiction to comment to earn more free stuff) and worse many companies selling stuff on amazon pay people to write good reviews for there products in the forms of x money per star rating.
For a listed history of his works on games and books... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Karpyshyn
I was a huge fan of his since KotOR and Mass Effect... and all his books (minus Revan) rocked, especially for video game books. However everything he did with TOR flet like watching the Star Wars prequels after watching several things he did as epic as Empire Strikes Back. Drew was my second favorite Star Wars author (after Timothy Zann) due to the Darth Bane novels until the book Revan, now I honestly don't know what to think of him as a Star Wars author.
I even meet him once at a book store (it wasn't a signing of his but he was randomly stopping by to sign his new book Darth Bane: Path of Destruction). I got to talking to him for quite a bit about KotOR 1, I even told him I had saved at every conversation option so I could replay any convo LS or DS whenever I wanted with any character, but ended up with so many saves I crashed my original xbox permanently. His eyes literally bugged out of his head and I had to explain I had just as many saves in Morrowind (which was getting tons of lag issues due to me doing crazy stuff in that game too, but was playing KotOR when the xbox died but it had never had any issues previously), so I never was sure which game caused the crash... but the end result was when Mass Effect came out the next year the game limited you to 10 saves per character. I've always feared I was responsible for that 10 save limit... ... sorry everyone that wasn't my intent, I even told him I was proud of it and it gave me an excuse to play the game all over again (which I did ). Now expecting tons of negs for the 10 save limit...
Anyways, from what I could tell from the 10 minutes I spoke to him (he had a flight to catch so we couldn't talk long) he was a very nice guy (funny too) and was a good developer/writer/employee of Bioware since he kept trying to redirect the convo to things he could use to help further games carry on what was good with his previous game and what could be done better next time. He then gave me a personalized autographed copy of the book telling me to join the dark side (which I still have)
Well, anyways (regardless of my speculation of the reason behind the retirement from the gaming industry and opinions of TOR) best of luck Drew in your new endeavors. I was a big fan of much (actually Most, not much) of your work, so I will give whatever you come out with next a read (and buy it).

I now concentrate on my Imperial Agent, wich makes at least the class story part interessting as they are new to me, I also choose some different answeres with her for the "free for all" quests. Playing Empire for the second time is still quit nice.
I think if I grow bored I go and resume to play my Jedi Consular. Still haven't seen much of the Republic side of things.
Well, but that's just me and I can be pretty easily sadisfied. I'm sure people are bored pretty quickly if they concentrate on one character only. So I don't advise it.
But I like my SW... so I do hope they will give him some more story in the future, would be sad if it really was the end of line for him.

Well, this isn't the kind of news I'd hoped to hear.
I hope the game survives long enough for the initial price to come down so I can justify buying it and trying to cram the Trooper's story into one month of play.

Actually it does not stop with the writer. 4 others have actually resigned as well.
Eric Brown, the guy who made the 1.7 mil subscribers statement, resigned.
In addition 3 other TOR devs have resigned to make an Indie RTS/RPG company. I'll have there names in just a sec.
Arnie Jorgensen : swtor Lead Concept Artist. (they'll live)
John Watson : swtor Lead Combat Programmer. (big deal?)
Alex Thomas : swtor Senior Environment Artist. (they'll live)
edit: It may very well be a coincidence and TOR could be okay, but it is definitely bad timing all around. No one likes to see resignations of staff so close together even if it amounts to nothing. That and, leaving a project/game that is suppose to be wildly successful always leads to speculation of problems.

Combat... Yeah. They'll live through that too. I like my proc-watching buttonspam MMO gameplay just fine. I'm serious!
Then again, probably why I love WoW so much, too.
Is this awesome or what?
Guess I'm joining you guys on Jung Ma soon. HO-AH!!

As a fan of Kotor 1 & 2 a part of me wants this to lead to making all of TOR unoffical and Kotor 3 to repace them (no offense TOR fans but I didnt like TOR even after a month of trying all the characters, however kotor was one of my fav series ever and even after all this I want my direct sequel that doesnt follow the plot line of TOR), but I know Lucasarts will never let that happen since Lucas wants a straight timeline and no series not being cannon plus they wanted a new MMO and will likely now find the next successful Star Wars game series and convert the series into a MMO against fan wishes once TOR no longer earns them any more profit. I wonder if they'll try it with battlefront next... at least that series would make sense going full online multiplayer.

Make one character, then start the next.
"concentrate on one character only" means, that they jsut have this one and no other even after they finished it.
@Ryus and Nixl
Definitly interesting, thanks for sharing this with us.

Ignoring my qualms with the writing for the moment, I simply think no matter what choice any company made that trying to translate an RPG into a MMO medium has inherent problems. I will make the assumption that any RPG fan would prefer an true dedicated RPG over an MMO with some RPG.
Simply put, I think Bioware should have kept Kotor and TOR separate. To be even more specific, they should have kept Revan/Exile and TOR separate. That separation would definitely pose its own problems, but I honestly do not see how it would be inherently worse than the current direction.

And to be honest, I don't believe Revan died. Like I don't believe the endboss of The False Emperor died. It's a little speech of Revan, a bright flash and a chest to loot. Show me his corps and I believe he is dead.
There is still potential to either redeem the character's story or make it worse ("Muhahahaha! The Foundry was only a setback!").

So a sum up: Pure lightside have their bodies disappear Obi-wan style (with the exception of Mara Jade who didn't cause Ben (her son) had to see her corpse so he could investigate her death and discover for himself who killed her , she did disappear into the force during her funeral (days later) the moment her murder showed up pretending to be a good little jedi (hint hint son )), Pure Darkside users have a force explosion that typically leaves there body behind but not always (though there have been a few where fans wonder why X sith didn't explode and it's either cause they weren't true sith for X reason like seeing the light in the end (Darth Vader, Darth Malak, etc...), Had already destroyed there bodies as a result of a force power (Darth Bane), they didn't die when you thought they did (Darth Maul), where just too weak (any minion in TOR) or not master level in touch with the dark side (any most bosses in TOR where close but since they served masters and not themselves failed to meet the final quota), or they tried to survive death by haunting a spot thus left there bodies before force exploding (like Marka Ragnos or Exar Kun)), and anyone in between leaves a normal corpse.
So Revan truly is dead, but that isn't to say his spirit couldn't inhabit a new body as has been done before in Star Wars mythos (clone bodies with no consciousness in them are preferable). The Emperor (Darth Sidious) did that himself in the Graphic Novel series Dark Empire. (it was a good series though, so I don't know why I added the sarcastic mark other than it sounded stupid on paper )

Now I even rewatched a video of Revan's "demise" and it really could be everything. They easily could have made the PCs fall down during the explosion to show the force at work here. But no... they don't even flinch, it just like some kind of longer lasting flash.
Nothing against your arguments, they are good and show your knowledge of the matter at hand but sorry, still not convinced. Maybe I am just in denial and won't admit Revan is gone like this...
If he's not dead, BW will pull him out in the future. If he is dead... at least I had one epic duel with him in the end (The healing Mercenary in the background... he doesn't count, just ignore him! )

"Foundry was merely a setback!"
(I joke, but....Bioware may just do that if they need another boss later down the line.)
edit: Honestly, the fact they tried to transfer Revan to an MMO medium screams "bad idea" to me.
Furthermore, I do even believe it is even possible to characterize Revan without some disappointment. If you think about it, Revan's identity has been hyped through both Kotor games and additional material. In Kotor 1 he was the master who controlled the Starforge and brought the Jedi council to their knees. In Kotor 2, Kreia describes him as the heart of the force and a force user that ascended beyond mere terms of Sith and Jedi. If Kreia praises someone that much, you know they are virtually unstoppable. In other materials I believe they also reference Revan as creating a rule of two used by future Sith.
I feel that Reven was set up to be a very unique persona in the Star Wars Universe. In TOR, he is incompetent and I question whether the idiot could even open a jar of jam without cutting himself and needing mama Exile to give him a band aid and sing him a lullaby to sleep.
Personally, I wish Bioware had tried to model Revan off of what Kreia described instead of an action hero. Maybe not a walking god, but a Gray Jedi that intended to toughen up the Republic in order to prepare it for war. Oh well.
Edit 2: And then I thought, Bioware trying to write Gray Morality with the dialogue wheel choices. Nevermind, not going to happen.
Choice A: Kick the Cat into the Volcano of Doom. You are evil.
Choice B. Do not look at the cat, do not talk to the cat, do not acknowledge the cat. You sure showed them Grey Jedi.
Choice C: Flirt with cat's owner. That's a good thing right?

DUST 514: Biggest commercial mistake ever?
As a long time (on/off) EVE player I always thought there was something the game was missing, that's the reason why I 've been playing this game on and off for quite sometime.
I like the concept, I like the space combat, the crafting, the economy, the PvP and the feeling of freedom EVE offers, but I always felt there was something the game needed that would make me stick with it for longer than few months at a time.
I felt that what this game was missing was the ability to leave your ship and fight with your avatar on a Planet or on a Space Station, is short EVE was missing an FPS feature, fighting in Space is cool but sometimes it can become rather boring staring at all that black background all the time (The Space), I thought, how awesome would it be to land on a Planet and fight your enemy with Rifles or Plasma Guns?
So when I heard that CCP was making an FPS based on EVE lore I could not believe this was really going to happen, or maybe not.
I cannot describe my disappointment when I learnt that DUST 514 was going to be a PS3 game only, I mean WTF.................
Now before people jump in and start telling me that it is wrong whinging about developers and criticise them for not making the game I LIKE, I'd like to put the records straight.
I still like CCP, I will still play EVE (on/off), and I am still excited about WoD (as long as is not going to be Playstation only..........), but NO, I won't buy a PS3 for the privilege of playing DUST 514.
I am not asking CCP to make the game I want, I am just going to try and make an analysys on the reasons I feel Dust 514 will not be the commercial success CCP is hoping it will be, actually I would go as far as saying that it will be a big flop, unless they invest millions in advertisement, of course.
The reason why I think DUST 514 will flop has nothing to do with the quality of the product which I trust it will be great, but more with the weird decision of making this game PS3 exclusive.
DUST 514 is based on EVE Universe, as we all know.
Now, while EVE is a well known and established IP in the MMO Universe, it is totally unknown to the average gamer, therefore CCP cannot use the appeal of the EVE lore to attract customers outside of the MMO market, and this is the first major barrier.
The second problem, and biggest mistake in my view, is the absurd decision of CCP of making DUST 514 exclusive to Playstation 3............while directly connected to a PC esclusive MMO (EVE).
I understand that MMO developers are trying to extend their reach to other platforms other than the PCs, but excluding the PC market altogher considering the fact that EVE is a well established PC game is ridicoulus.
The idea that EVE players are going to buy a Playstation 3 to play DUST 514 is as absurd as thinking that the average PS3 gamer will rush to the shops to buy DUST 514 because of the EVE lore, simply it is not going to happen.
Another problem is the fact that the PS3 platform is flooded with quality FPS and DUST 514 will have to fight with far more popular IPs than EVE, I really cannot see CCP winning this battle too easily, in fact I predict they will come out with few broken bones, and that is regardless the quality of DUST 514 itself.
I am not so naive not to understand that by signing an exclusive contract with one of the console platforms, CCP will get some sort of advantage (money generally) but to be honest what CCP failed to understand is that if they only believed in their own product and made DUST 514 available also on PC they would have not only sold DUST 514 to all EVE players, but they would have doubled EVE players as well.
Most of people who try EVE have mixed reactions, while they think the game concept is great, at the same time they feel Space Combat is a rather restricting gameplay and they would like some sort of avatar action in order to stick with it.
Personally, I would gladly have paid 2 separate subscriptions for EVE and Dust 514 if the latter was avaible for PC, so if CCP thought that Dust 514 would have cannibalized EVE player base, they were wrong.
Todays big question in the MMO community is what will it be the next big thing.
Well, I am pretty sure that EVE + Dust 514 could have been the next big thing, I mean nothing could beat the combination of Space Combat + FPS + Sandbox, that's the kind of innovation the MMO market needs right now.
It is a pity CCP missed the chance to truly revolutionize the MMO industry with an original concept which was really within their reach.
They wasted lots of money and energy in making another FPS which the PS3 community will either ignore completely or play it for a limited amount of time and then forget about it.
Nevermind............I guess IT is time to move on and focus my attention on the World of Darkness, and please no PS3 exclusive madness this time, dear CCP.

New Catholic Dictionary – Saint Michael
Hebrew: who is like God?
Archangel, one of the three angels mentioned by name in Holy Scripture (Daniel 10 and 12; Jude; Apocalypse 12). In this last text, the sin of the bad angels is pictured as an uprising against God, in which the faithful angels, with Michael at their head, defeated Lucifer and his host, and cast them out of heaven. Because of this victory, Michael is revered in Catholic tradition and liturgy as champion and protector of the Church. Although he is always referred to as "the Archangel," the Greek Fathers and many theologians place him over all the angels, making him the prince of the Seraphim. He became the patron of the sick and at Chairotopa, Colossae, Pythia, and elsewhere in Asia medicinal springs were dedicated to him. In Constantinople, Egypt, Rome, France, and Germany his cult was equally popular. Patron of France, Germany, of the sick, of knights, grocers, and mariners. Emblems: scales, banner, sword, and a dragon. Feast, Roman Calendar, 29 September; additional feast, 8 May, the Apparition of Michael, which took place on Monte Gargano in southeastern part of Italy.

This year's Paris-Roubaix was slated to be a showdown between two giants of the spring classics – 2013 Ronde van Vlaanderen winner Fabian Cancellara (Radioshack-Leopard-Trek) and 2012 Paris-Roubaix winner Tom Boonen (Omega Pharma-QuickStep). But sadly, Boonen is now out of the race after a nasty crash on Sunday. Even worse, team sponsor Specialized had built the Belgian rider a gorgeous custom painted S-Works Roubaix SL4 that will now never be ridden across the pavé.
Boonen's Paris-Roubaix bike-to-be is the production version of the 'Project Black' machine he rode in last year's edition and is more of a true race bike than ever before. Specialized's unique vibration-squelching Zertz elastomeric inserts and slim, curvaceous seat stays are present as always but the front triangle is now a virtual carbon copy of the harder edged Tarmac SL4. As a result, it's now not only comfortable but more efficient than one would usually expect of an 'endurance' bike.
Each pavé sector's length and location is noted on the top tube
Custom tweaks blur the race vs. endurance bike lines even further. Specialized supplies Boonen with a special "60 Pro" frame geometry with nearly the same top tube length as the company's standard 61cm size but with a head tube length barely longer than on the consumer-spec 54cm for a far more aggressive fit than is typical – something that Boonen has said in the past is necessary for his sensitive back.
This year's bike is far showier than last year's stealthy all-black finish and kicks off the start of the company's new "Specialized Edition" program. Tucked within the Belgian-inspired black, red, and yellow motif are the names and years of past Paris-Roubaix winners inside the front triangle, a course cheat sheet on the top tube calling out all 27 secteurs of pavé, plus Boonen's name boldly emblazoned on the seat tube.
Past Paris-Roubaix winners are commemorated on the inside of the main triangle
The build kit is virtually identical to what Boonen used last year, including a SRAM Red 2012 group, Zipp 303 Firecrest carbon tubular wheels wrapped in 27mm-wide FMB Paris-Roubaix tires, Look KéO Blade pedals, a 155mm-wide Specialized S-Works Chicane saddle with carbon fiber rails, and Specialized's latest S-Works carbon crankarms fitted with specific SRAM Red 2012 chainrings (still with a 39T inner ring, too, since mechanics hadn't yet gotten around to doing the final setup for Sunday when Boonen crashed).
Zipp provides the cockpit components as well, including the SLSpeed carbon fiber seatpost, 140mm-long Service Course SL forged aluminum stem, and a CSL aluminum handlebar double-wrapped with Specialized S-Wrap Roubaix tape plus an extra layer of padding up top. As with his Tarmac, Boonen again was to use a 42cm-wide (outside-to-outside) bar as off-season testing found it to provide better aerodynamics without sacrificing his ability to breathe.
Total weight is pictured is 7.34kg (16.18lb) without the Garmin Edge computer – which to everyone's dismay will still read zero when the winner of Paris-Roubaix crosses the line on Sunday.

Charlottesville attack suspect denied bond in court appearance
Charlottesville attack suspect denied bond in court appearance
A Virginia judge has denied bond for the suspect accused of mowing down a crowd of people protesting white nationalists in Charlottesville.
James Alex Fields Jr. is facing charges of second degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and one count of hit and run in the Saturday attack that left 32-year-old Heather Heyer dead and 19 others injured.
Judge Robert Downer said during a bond hearing Monday he would appoint a lawyer for Fields
Fields is next scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 25.
A high school teacher said Fields was fascinated with Nazism, idolized Adolf Hitler and had been singled out by school officials in the 9th grade for his "deeply held, radical" convictions on race.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

This page is dedicated to classical music composer Margaret Allison Bonds on the centennial of her birth.
The presence and role of persons of African ancestry in what is commonly known as classical music remains a mystery to most people including many of those who count themselves among the most dedicated admirers of those arts. This year in observance of Black History Month the volunteers of BlackPast.org have gathered on one page most of the leading composers, conductors, and performers from the world of ballet, opera, and symphony music. Beginning with the 18th Century Afro-Brazilian and Afro-French composers, the 68 individual profiled below span four centuries and four continents. Each profile is a brief introduction to the individuals who have and continue to enrich our lives with their talent. While there are a number of resources that have additional information on the people profiled below, we recommend one website, AfriClassical.com, as a good starting point for those interested in assessing the global influence of these individuals. Finally, the link immediately below will take you to our page which has samplings of the performances of these artists on YouTube.

Scaling-up matters for South-South Cooperation | Grace Wang
06 Nov 2013
The global development cooperation landscape is changing rapidly. Emerging economies and other developing countries have become key actors in the new development architecture. They offer practical solutions, share rich knowledge and take leadership and collective actions.
For example, the Brazilian bolsa familia programme, a cash transfer model, has helped improve childhood nutrition and education in Brazil, and the system has been successfully transplanted to Africa. India's National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme entitles each rural Indian household by law to 100 days of unskilled work per year on public works programmes. China's emphasis on infrastructure development in other developing countries has resulted in improvements in electricity supply, an increase in railway connections and reduced prices for telecommunications services.
In our new Strategic Plan (2014-17), we are committing to support South-South and Triangular cooperation, complementing the traditional North-South model, across the board, to be a critical part of the post 2015 development agenda.This vision cannot rest on any routine, isolated or short-term approaches.
Scaling-up strategy will be the key to ensure our support delivers lasting impact. In this regard, we see ourselves as:
• knowledge brokers, to help identify, share and adapt scalable Southern solutions that are tested, cost-effective, sustainable;
• capacity builders, to support developing countries to better undertake and engage in South-South and Triangular cooperation, in partnership with governments, civil society organizations, and private sector;
• facilitators, to help 'start-up' collaborations and scale-up of promising ideas
Scaling up is the process of ensuring coverage, impact, and sustainability of a development innovation. It involves expanding successful pilots, but more importantly, strengthening national capacities and improving global, national and local policies and institutions. With this in mind, we are developing a rigorous results-based management system and integrating scaling-up into our programme design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
UNDP is currently going through an organizational change agenda 'from good to great'. Greatness is about vision and courage. Greatness, to us, is to bring about transformation on a larger and sustainable scale. Our support to South-South and triangular cooperation must also think big and aim high.
Talk to us: Share examples of successful South-South or triangular cooperation in your country.

Porting your mobile number from Superdrug Mobile
Leaving Superdrug Mobile
How to switch from Superdrug Mobile & take your mobile number
- Superdrug Mobile will provide your Porting Authorisation Code (PAC) either over the telephone, by SMS text message or via email.
- A PAC code is valid for 30 days. If you don't use it within thirty days it will expire and you will need to request a new one.
- Your Superdrug Mobile account will remain active until your number has been ported over to the new network. After the transfer is complete, your Superdrug Mobile account will be automatically closed.
Superdrug Mobile must issue you with a PAC number within 2 working hours
of your request, or a reason for why it cannot be issued, in accordance with Ofcom's
"General Conditions of Entitlement".
Once you have received your Port Authorization Code from Superdrug Mobile, take a look at the best offer that is suited to you. Many of the top mobile phone deals are available exclusively online, directly from the network providers listed here.
Finally, provide your PAC code to your new mobile network operator who will then be able to port your existing phone number from Superdrug Mobile. They will tell you what day the transfer is due to take place (usually within 48 hours).
Important: Do NOT cancel your contract before switching, otherwise you might not be able to port over your number. Once you provide your new network provider with your PAC code, your old account will automatically be cancelled when the number is migrated over.
Note: Credit on a PAYG (Pay-As-You-Go / Pre-Pay) account cannot be transferred and any remaining credit will be lost after the switch over.

Free Beer & Hot Wings: South Dakota News Anchor Gives Viewers Lecture About Weather Coverage [Video]
Everyone has been in the situation before when you're waiting to watch your favorite show, but it gets preempted by some breaking news on TV.
It's a bummer, but, hey, we've all had to deal with it from time to time.
KSFY in Sioux Falls,S.D., recently had to do just that when a tornado touched down in the area in northwest Iowa.
The station preempted whatever was on TV to break into severe weather coverage, and the complaints rolled in.
Well, these anchors -- Nancy Naeve and Shawn Cable -- were fed up with the complaints and decided to put the viewers in their place!

ROCHESTER — The Rochester Police Department said as of early Wednesday morning, two 15-year-old girls reported missing by their parents had been found and safely returned to home.
"The case is resolved and everyone is safe," Sgt Eric Babine wrote in an email to Foster's at 3:34 a.m. Wednesday morning.
The two teen girls had last been heard from by their families at the start of winter break from Spaulding High School. The parents of the two friends said they were greatly concerned for their children's well-being when they were still missing on Tuesday, New Year's Day.
Rochester resident Suzanne Anderson said she last heard from her daughter, Ashley Taylor Anderson, on Dec. 20 after she went out with her friend, Natasha Kuchman. Ashley is a freshman at Spaulding High and Natasha is a sophomore.
Natasha's father, Joe, said he believed his daughter sneaked out to meet Ashley and the two were hiding out somewhere together. Both parents contacted Foster's on Tuesday, imploring the public's assistance to help keep their daughters safe.
Tuesday morning, Babine said the case was still "open" and he could not comment further on the juvenile matter. Several hours later, he contacted Foster's to report the missing juveniles were found.
A representative for the police department could not be reached immediately on Wednesday for further comment on the case and Suzanne Anderson did not return a call for comment.
The responsibility of responding to juvenile cases has been placed more substantially on local communities and their police departments in the last few months, since the previous Republican-led House of Representatives eliminated funding for the Children in Need of Services (CHINS) program in 2011. Where the state's Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) previously assisted about 1,000 minors every year through CHINS petitions, with court judges ordering specific services to assist troubled youths and their guardians, a much more narrowed definition of what constitutes a child in need now allows for approximately 50 children to be assisted every year.
Foster's previously reported several lawmakers and local officials are calling for a change in the system. Rochester Superintendent Michael Hopkins reported the district is concerned about keeping up with the changes, stating more children will have severe problems before they even get referred to the legal process, and the Dover Police Department told Foster's they used to refer struggling families, especially those involved in runaway cases, to enter into the CHINS program.
Rochester School Board member Julie Brown, a previous Republican representative in the house for 12 consecutive terms, recently called on her colleagues to send a letter to Gov.-Elect Maggie Hassan urging her to consider more funding for the CHINS program in the next budget cycle, to assist troubled youths as well as their parents who need support.

Get excited about reading again with fun and interesting tips from our experts, including The M.D., our dietitians, and our fitness expert. In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Healthy Eating
Here you will find tons of information about healthy eating and incorporating the principles of healthy nutrition into your daily life. Built around Dr. Cederquist's nutritional foundation for healthy weight loss, these articles place a wealth of information right at your fingertips.
With fast food, soda, and junk food as dietary staples in America, Americans are getting fatter every day. This excess weight leads to numerous medical problems, high hospital bills and general unhappiness. If you are one of the many American adults who are overweight or obese, losing excess weight can help safeguard your health and lead to a better quality of life. This article will provide the help and suggestions you need to lose weight.
Start Today
If you want or need to lose weight, start today. Do not start tomorrow, next week, after your birthday, after your planned vacation or some other arbitrary future date. By starting now, you can see the results faster and receive the benefits of weight loss sooner. Also, you will be more likely to continue your diet or exercise plan and you WILL be successful.
Stop Drinking Your Calories
The best diet plan can be negated if you unknowingly or unintentionally drink your calories. Soda, specialty coffees, energy drinks, alcohol, juice, smoothies and most other drinks are full of hidden calories. Having one of these drinks each day can add between one hundred and five hundred calories to your diet.
Starts today by replacing these drinks with water, ordering a smaller serving of your favorite drink, or just don't get a refill. These simple drink changes can provide the calorie reduction and dietary change you need to lose weight.
Look at What You Are Eating
Once you have looked at what you are drinking, turn your attention to the food you are eating. Is it the best quality, healthiest, best tasting food you can buy? Or is it full of chemicals, fat, and calories and will it leave you feeling bloated, weighed down and uncomfortable later on?
If you answered yes, start improving your diet today. Do not stop at the fast food place for dinner and make healthier choices by buying some fresh vegetables and fruit and make a quick salad or stir-fry with them. Or wake up a few minute earlier to prepare a home cooked breakfast. By making little daily dietary changes, you will soon see a monumental impact in your weight and with how you feel.
Get Moving
You are still reading this because you want or need to lose weight. That being said, stand up right where you are. Yes, you! Stand up from where you are sitting or lying and walk around. Grab a drink of water, get the mail, do some jumping jacks, walk your dog, walk your neighbor's dog, walk to the grocery store, go outside and smell a flower. Just get moving!
The more you move the more calories you burn. Start simple by adding five extra minutes of movement to your day. Over time, build this into a regular exercise routine and you will feel the benefits.
Be Persistent
Weight loss is a process that takes time and energy. Be realistic and set attainable, healthy goals such as losing one and two pounds of body fat per week. Then be persistent and follow your plan and goal until you reach it and you no longer need to lose weight.
If you're looking for something fast and convenient without the hassle of frequenting the grocery store, bistroMD offers diet plans that can help you successfully lose weight.
We cook with the freshest ingredients and have over 200 recipes and a customizable menu so you should have no problem finding something to satisfy your taste buds.

Loser's Club Fitness
I am a Fitness Coach who runs a fitness and exercise class based on a Boxing workout. I get a lot of satisfaction from helping people achieve their fitness goals though weight loss and physical conditioning. The workout is fun, challenging, effective and never boring.
My target market is adult, children and seniors. I train both male and female clients. Most of them are looking to get in better shape, lose weight and are also interested in learning the boxing techniques without actually becoming a boxer.
The name of my company is Loser's Club Fitness. My tagline is " Where Losing is Winning" and I would like this incorporated into the design.
OK, I think I have a better idea on what I'm looking for now. At least I hope I do. Ha Ha. OK I'm thinking of maybe a super hero type holding up the company name. He should be built something like the father on The Incredible's cartoon. Muscular but still a little soft. Definitely not chubby so I don't offend anyone. He could have an "L" or the word "Loser" on his chest? Not sure if boxing gloves would work hanging on his neck? I'm open on that. I still want him holding up the name "Loser's Club" and the word "Fitness" somewhere nearby. I also still want him standing on the tag line "Where Losing Is Winning". The character is VERY IMPORTANT to me. He will be the brand image of the company. I really would like an image styled after the father on The Incredible's. Somewhat muscular but still soft and humorous. Not too serious. What should he be wearing? I don't know. I'm open on that. If I can get some submissions close to what I'm looking for, I will guarantee the prize money.
First of all I am looking for a logo that is fun and catchy. Maybe cartoony? I have attached an idea that I had although if someone has a better idea I'm open to suggestions. My idea has a person holding up the Loser's Club Fitness with the word "fitness" sitting at an angle in a different font and color and the person maybe standing on the tagline? See the example. The person that I have in the example is a generic clip art. I would like someone in there that is more customized and maybe has some boxing gloves hanging around his neck. I'm open to the design of the person so be creative.. again I'm thinking something fun.
I'm open to the colors and fonts but maybe somewhat simple and not too many colors. Whatever you think works. I'll let you be creative.
So to summarize, I'd like something fun and simple but catchy..

Dear Friend,
Living outside is hard enough, but in the cold, dark wintertime, it can mean months of total misery.
Sheba had nothing to call home but a flimsy plastic box with an open front and a patch of dirt. She was tied to a tree, day in and day out, with nothing of substance to protect her from the bone-chilling winter weather.
When PETA's dedicated team of fieldworkers first met Sheba on a call for our spay-and-neuter services, we knew that we had to do all that we could to improve her desperate living situation.
Soon after we transported Sheba from her spay appointment, PETA delivered her a new doghouse, a new tangle-free tether, and a toy (her first ever) and gave her some much-needed love and affection, which she desperately craved.
There are few sights as heartwarming as that of a dog who has just received a real doghouse after years of suffering outside. Most dogs immediately go inside and curl up in the straw with a sigh of relief.
I hope that you'll consider becoming a PETA "Angels for Animals" doghouse sponsor right now. (http://bit.ly/uzMPfU) Your generosity will change the life of a neglected "outside dog" like Sheba.
Thank you for helping neglected, forgotten dogs this winter in such a significant way.
Kind regards,
Ingrid E. Newkirk

Others will work in distribution centers across the country, the company said. (Read More:Hot Holiday Toys—Even Santa Needs a Reservation)

'Reindeer Cam' Goes Live At Como Park Zoo
ST. PAUL (AP) - Anyone interested in seeing how reindeer behave this time of year can get a peek, anytime of the day.
Animal Planet has set up a "Reindeer Cam" at Como Park Zoo. The camera is up and running 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Viewers can watch the reindeer socialize, nap and eat. There are even some planned feedings by Santa Claus.
Reindeer range from 130 to 700 pounds. Reindeer also have a powerful sense of smell and can pinpoint food up to three feet beneath snow. They are also the only deer species in which both genders grow antlers.
Como Park Zoo director Michelle Furrer says people are fascinated with reindeer this time of year.

This story on CNN demostrates why you need to clearly mark a geocache as such. From the article, "In June, a bomb squad in De Pere, Wisconsin, used a robot-mounted shotgun to blast the lid off a suspicious-looking military ammunition box found in a park. It also turned out to be a geocache." It's a little bit funny, but also a tad scary. So paint a big red 'geocache' on your geocache boxes!

A man died late Saturday afternoon after his vehicle left Upper Lake Road and crashed into a house that was not occupied.
A man died late Saturday afternoon after his vehicle left Upper Lake Road and crashed into a house that was not occupied.
George Lewis Berridge, 51, of Greentree Road, Thomasville, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, a firefighter with the Pilot Volunteer Fire Department said.
Troopers with the N.C. Highway Patrol and firefighters with the Pilot VFD were dispatched to the incident at 4:10 p.m. The accident occurred at 3222 Upper Lake Road, about 1.7 miles west of Thomasville and near Hill Myers Road.
Pam Kearns, a spokeswoman with the SHP, said a 2004 Mercedes, driven by Berridge, was traveling east on Upper Lake Road when the car ran off the road to the right, struck a ditch culvert and continued to travel through the front lawns of two residences. She said the vehicle stopped against the house, owned by Eric Steinman. The Highway Patrol estimates the damage to be $40,000.
Troopers say Berridge's original traveling speed was 75 miles per hour in a 45-mph zone. His estimated speed at impact was 70 mph. Berridge had no passengers and was not wearing a seat belt, according to the SHP.
The contributing circumstance to the accident was operating a vehicle in a careless and reckless manner, Kearns said. Troopers will wait on results from a toxicology test to determine if alcohol was a factor, she said.
Zach Rogers, a firefighter with the Pilot VFD, said his department arrived to find the Mercedes on its roof into the house and resting on its passenger side. The vehicle had clipped a guide wire running to a utility pole. Rogers said the vehicle was about three feet in the house, and nobody was at home.
Rogers said the residents learned of the damage to their home by watching news on the television while at a friend's house. The firefighter said he believes a bystander tried to assist Berridge but was unable to because of the debris.

So far I had no luck attemting to pair a German Vodafone HTC Magic (rooted) but retaining the standard Vodafone ROM. The rSAP trial version installs fine, the rather complicated Comand pairing procedure works fine, the nice welcome tone sounds through he speakers...and then the HTC shuts down the mobile network connection immediately, Comand tells me "Telefon aus". What to do?
Best regards from 76316 Waldprechtsweier (maybe I should come over, buy you a couple of beers and you help me fix the issue....? )

Henry's Reading Tent Playroom
Name: Henry (3)
Location: Park Falls, Wisconsin
This room in our home was being used as a media room, until our son Henry came along. We still use part of it for a computer area, but the rest of the room has become a simplistic, well-loved playroom.
The idea was to keep it inexpensive (we kept the dated wood wainscotting so he could abuse it all he wanted without me having to worry about it!), and usable, not just trendy and cute. I also don't like a lot of stuff, and find that children don't either. They become overstimulated with too many choices and end up just making one big mess!
We built the reading tent ourselves and it really is the heart of the room. I work in a Kindergarten classroom, and like how the classroom is set up in stations/areas. I did something similar in this room so we could keep things organized and to help the creative juices flow.
Many of the items in this room are from IKEA (queen of cheap here!), or just leftovers from other parts of the home.
As for style, I'm sure many people would prefer more color, but I've found that the toys provide the color, and the room and the furniture are just a backdrop to fill with fun!
