Minecraft for Xbox 360 dev working on 'Adventure' update
Demon's Souls servers extended again
I remember seeing a multiplayer mode for Bloodmoon at some point, but can no longer locate it. Also, these character models are fugly, and I remember seeing higher quality (and lower resource utilizing) ones for free download somewhere...and you guessed it, I can't find them either.
Can anyone help me out?

New federal guidelines meant to standardize how employers track data on the diversity of their job-applicant pool are taking effect starting today for jobs at federal contractors -- and similar rules will kick in later this year at U.S. companies with more than 50 employees. And resumes and search approaches that worked perfectly well before may no longer do the trick.

We'll be playing BF1942 v1.61 at bf1942.shackbattles.com:14567 - password is in themelon's profile.
The Adventure lives on but the Soul still burns. That's right my soul burns for some flaming hot BF1942 action. I want to watch a tank shell from launch all the way to impact with my face. I want to try and catch bombs while repairing a factory. I want to be in a Jeep that flips and tumbles down a "shortcut". I want to scream 'YAAARRRRRRRR" at the top of my lungs so loud that my neighbors start questioning my sanity. Join me in my fight for fun...join me in some run and gun..join me in dying for the Rodina glory of the shackbattle.
We'll also be using Teamspeak. EVERYONE should be on Teamspeak, at least to listen even if you don't have a mic. We'll be connecting to rydogg1's server: ts.shackbattles.com - no password required.
If you're new to the game and need training or help, I (and several others) will be happy to spend all the time you need walking you through the different classes, weapons, tactics, etc. Just let us know!
The map rotation will also include Shackmaps and the tournament map pack. You can get them at the links below.

French Comedian at some kind of yearly "pig festival"
BBC Claimed it was a picture of "muhammed" printed in the danish paper "Jyllands Posten". It was never printer as such.
I guess they believed the Danish iman that toured the muslim world where he showed exactly that picture and liead about it.
I guess the old media is just as bad as the Internet media when it comes spreading and fueling lies and rumours...

I've been going to the gym twice a week (with cardio fun games outside of gym on weekends) for about a semester. I'm a scraggly nerd guy, but getting better. I've had tons of improvement everywhere, can do a crap ton of situps, but I have a strange problem on one machine.
When doing leg extensions my legs shake. Rather, my left knee shudders. Quite violently sometimes. Partially on the way up, but coming down it's really hard. It did this a little last semester, but went away almost entirely. I got to where I was doing 110x15x3. After Christmas break it got really bad. I stepped the weight way down to work back up after the 3 1/2 weeks off but to no avail. It happens at 50 lbs just as much as at 90lb.
Nothing similar happens on any other exercise, it's entirely limited to leg extensions. I played soccer for like 7 years (middle school + high school) so you wouldn't think this would happen. Plz help =[

It fucking rocked, and a couple guys from suicidal tendacies werethere also. The highlight was Joe Perry and Buddy Guy closing out, also Slash, Slash was definitely up there. Other highlights were Joe Satriani and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, these guys are fucking awesome on guitar. The low light was steven segal(yes, that steven segal, apparently when he is not out snapping necks he tries to rock the house).

Really should have been bundled with the DS for stylus show-offingness, not Mario Kart which doesn't use the touch screen at all.
Must buy for DS owners, srsly.
