<p>So far I've only played the online multiplayer, but I have to say that the Call of duty franchise has out done themselves again. The new weapons are great! The new kill rewards are amazing as well and the graphics are breath-taking.</p>
<p>There are many new teams as well, and the new maps are very well laid out.</p>
<p>The sound effects are much more&nbsp; realistic -&nbsp; everything from the language to the grenade explosions bring you much deeper into your gaming experience.</p>

<p>As you guys know the last charity auction website wasn't as big a success as it could have been...</p>
<p>However, after tons of research and devlopment. I'm proud to announce the launch of <a href="http://www.penniesforpalsy.com">http://www.penniesforpalsy.com</a>. Please check it out and let me know what you think.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.penniesforpalsy.com"><span class="ssNonEditable  full-image-block"><span><img src="../../resource/iphone-ull0x4bcfb70g?fileId=6767930&amp;__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1272804688107" alt="" /></span></span></a></p>
<p>Pennies For Palsy is a charity auction  site, similar to a silent or Chinese Auction, where people buy tickets  or bids and use them to bid on the items that they want from our  catalog. The only difference is that its a traditional auction format in  the sense that the last bidder for a given auction is the winner, and  not the most tickets submitted for an item wins.<br /><br />Users of the  site log in/register, purchase their bids (in packages with bonus free  bids to bring the value up!) and get right to it! Users also have the  ability to earn free bids. For example, users can get free bids by doing  things as simple as logging on each day or voting on posts in the  community section; both earn you one free bid each. Then, at certain  times during the month Pennies for Palsy will auction a free item:  members can then use their free bids, and shipping is always free! A  cool way of saying, "thanks!"<br /><br /></p>
<h3>Auction types:</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1.&nbsp; <strong>Fixed  Price Auctions</strong> - Set Price Auctions are exactly what they sound like.&nbsp;  Basically, the price of the item is set and no matter what the bid price  goes to, the winner will only pay the Set Price for that item.&nbsp; So,  let's say the Sony Vaio Laptop is a Set Price Auction with a Set Price  of just $20.00.&nbsp; The bidding will start at 10 Cents and for every bid  placed the price goes up 10 cents and up to 20 seconds is added to the  countdown clock.&nbsp; Even if the final bid comes in at $450.00, the winner  will still only pay the $20.00 Set Price for the Sony Vaio Laptop!</p>
<p>2.&nbsp;  <strong>Totally Free Auctions</strong> -&nbsp; These auctions are totally free to the  winner.&nbsp; No matter what the winning bid price is, the winner will not  pay anything for that item.&nbsp; It's Totally Free!</p>
<p>3.&nbsp; <strong>One Cent  Auctions</strong> - On One Cent Auctions, instead of the item starting at 10  cents and going up 10 cents with each bid, Once Cent Auction Items start  at just 1 Cent and with every bid placed, go up just 1 cent.</p>
<p>4.&nbsp;  <strong>Night Auctions</strong> -&nbsp; These are set auctions that only run for a limited  amount of time at night. These can also be a combination of the above as  well...</p>
<p>5.&nbsp; We also have the "<strong>Buy it Now</strong>" section on the site,  where you can redeem your bids without competing with others, just  redeem your bids and get your stuff!</p>
<p>So, as you can see there  are several ways to win!</p>
<p><a href="http://penniesforpalsy.com/registration.php">Register</a> and win!</p>

<p>I remember one story in grade school; I really sums up everything.</p>
<p>Back then, my house was&nbsp;very close to school. I lived&nbsp;about a block and a half away, so it was no problem for me to walk to and from school each day. While walking home from school one day, just about the time the daily heckling and name calling from the other walkers started- They were like sharks grouped and circling behind me - I just stopped and started to cry.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, I would never give the hecklers the satisfaction of seeing me in such a weak state. They really didn't phase me that much - or maybe they did - I still don't know why I started crying; It was like spontaneous tears.</p>
<p>Either way, they saw it as a sign of weakness, and fueled by their numbers and my disability&nbsp;- seized the opportunity to prove themselves to one another. I was scared! But, a&nbsp;few weak punches, a ripped shirt and dysfunctional book bag later - I sat on my neighbors freshly cut, extremely well manicured lawn and started to laugh. During the fight, one of the attacker's report card, fell out of his plastic Ninja Turtle backpack - probably wouldn't have happened if his mother fixed the cheap zipper; what do you expect walking with a backpack wide open.</p>
<p>Anyway, as read it, I began to laugh. "Reading - U, Writing - U, Math - U, Gym -&nbsp;U (that would explain the weak punches - lol)" and a few other inspiring grades I can't remember - U stood for Unsatisfactory; basically an "F."</p>
<p>How in God's name can you get an "F" in grade school. This bully was a complete reject! Now, the only thing about him I was scared of was the possibility he might sneeze his brain into a tissue accidentally!</p>
<p>Bullies normally facade their everyday inadequacies with aggression - life lesson learned!</p>
<p>My perfect report card got me a top of the line bike for my birthday! The hecklers' banter became a dopplered blur as I sped past them each day.</p>
<p>I like to think that two things came out of this experience. Obstacles in life only present a problem if you stop for them, and the advantage I have, being different is that I know I'm different -&nbsp; let others stop and figure out why you're different, meanwhile you've moved on to bigger and better things.</p>
<p>If people are going to be obstacles, treat them like one - you and I both know that there isn't room for loosers in the winner's circle! Live your life!</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://keithbrown.squarespace.com/journal/rss-comments-entry-7255884.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>More site ideas!</title><category>Ajax</category><category>CP</category><category>Cerebral Palsy</category><category>Cppilot.com</category><category>Personal</category><category>development</category><category>site progress</category><category>upgrade</category><dc:creator>Keith Brown</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:09:20 +0000</pubDate><link>http://keithbrown.squarespace.com/journal/2010/3/28/more-site-ideas.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">283585:2880102:7159321</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Imagine dynamic interaction...using Ajax ( a JavaScript programming language) I'll be able to offer instant feedback to certain interactions on the site.</p>
