And the following statement:

We just wanted to spread the news that Bertolli welcomes everyone, especially those with an empty stomach.

Re: Project Runway Season 12!!!!!!!!!
The following tags have no closing tag: spoiler
Lifetime has a neat little scorecard feature for this show: http://www.mylifetime.com/shows/project-runway/season-12/scorecard. It gives you options to filter by wins, out, as well as top and bottom 3. You do need to take it with a grain of salt because of the show's gimmicky shenanigans. For example, the episode where the bottom three were given a second chance only credits Dom as a Win, even though she was bottom three for the main competition that week. (Sorry, I'm a little bit of a data nerd, and I love chart, graphs and that sort of thing. >.

Hey Elquin, first I think it's awesome that anet reached out to the guild :) I've been thinking about feedback, so here's my two cents about the new bloodlust change:
I saw the dev video preview of the borderlands bloodlust and their rationale for why you don't get any rewards for capping ruins is that the bloodlust buff is enough of a reward in and of itself. I think this is flawed for many reasons, most importantly, there is no incentive on an individual level. The way I see it, why would you spend a few minutes sitting in colored squares when you could be running around with everyone else capping towers or keeps and killing enemy zergs, getting loot, gold, wvw xp, karma and all that awesome stuff that makes WvW so much fun for a lot of people? The buff is nice and all but on that individual level, what's the point?
Edit: On second thought, I feel that there should be some reward just for completing the meta event for holding 3 ruins for two minutes and getting borderlands bloodlust, as long as you participated by capturing at least 1 point. (At first I thought it would be nice to get rewards for capping ruins, but people would just farm that.) So, you should be rewarded for being a part in acquiring that bonus to your world! Otherwise on an individual level what's the point?
Also it would be pretty awesome if they added new achievements specifically for capping borderlands ruins and acquiring bloodlust. I honestly think that it would bring a lot of positive attention to the new change with personal rewards and/or achievements, and I would actually be really excited and get out and take ruins myself. Because right now for me at least it's more rewarding to help the zerg cap something than run around the ruins.
That's all, thanks~

Re: What names do you give your ships?
All the ships on my main toon are named after The Golden Girls.
USS Dorothy Zbornak, USS Blanche Devereaux, USS Sophia Petrillo, USS Rose Nylund. The rest of the ship slots, like shuttlecraft, are named after ancillary characters like Miles Weber, Stanley Zbornak, etc.

"Condoms, Rose...condoms, condoms, condoms!!!" ... "Calm down lady...you just get out of prison?!?!?"

Re: Barilla: another CEO with foot to mouth sybdrome
Yeah what i read is im a bigot and not really sorry but i realise that these things are unacceptable so am pretending to try and not have people leave my brand.
The company one is likely more legit however as lets face it all they care about is marketing to as many people as possible.

Re: Barilla: another CEO with foot to mouth sybdrome
To be fair, both the he and the US Division of Barilla released an apology:
Barillo Chairman Guido Barilla said:With reference to my statements yesterday to the press, I apologize if my words have offended some people.
For clarity I would like to point out that I have the deepest respect for all people, without distinction of any kind.
I have the utmost respect for homosexuals and freedom of expression. I also said, and repeat, that I have respect for marriages between people of the same sex.
Barilla in its advertising has always chosen to represent the family because this is the symbol of hospitality and love for everyone.
US Division of Barilla said:At Barilla, we consider it our mission to treat our consumers and partners as our neighbors – with love and respect – and to deliver the very best products possible. We take this responsibility seriously and consider it a core part of who we are as a family-owned company. While we can’t undo recent remarks, we can apologize. To all of our friends, family, employees, and partners that we have hurt or offended, we are deeply sorry.
Of course they apologized. This is just damage control. He should have had the foresight to choose his statements carefully. I would have rather heard something like: We will consider that for the future.
I'd rather him avoid the issue all-together than to have them apologize for their lack of thinking. I have sworn off that companies products. Actions speak louder than words.

Re: Barilla: another CEO with foot to mouth sybdrome
You would think he'd realize it would be of benefit to his company to just keep his damn mouth shut and sell his product. Instead, he's getting bad press for being an uninformed chode and trying to walk back his statement.

Re: Barilla: another CEO with foot to mouth sybdrome
Had my hubby dispose of all the Barilla products in the house. The fact that he doesn't want gays in his commercials is one thing but this guy is just so 1950's. Between the commercials and his idea of women in the kitchen...he can go $%&^ himself.
Re: Fleet Uniform
I finally found the time to update the Fleet Uniform page. It now contains all the info for our current Fleet Uniform.
