Well KidFury introduced me to this new Racing Game

Heat Online (http://heatonline.com/)

The thing i most enjoy about this game is the many mods u can play your can do single player missions to boost your lvl and gain access to car then each car you will be able to buy upgrades for and then race. you can race multilayer and or single player races then there is different types of races Sumo is fun where you are trying to knock the other cars off the top of buildings.

For those that like event there seems to be a large number of event run daily and a in game calender system to show you what events are and when.

The clan system is purity complex where we are able to have clan vs clan races and such seems purity cool i still learning the game so there is much i don't know about it.

The last penny has dropped in Canada.

As I am a coin collector this could mean that the Canadian Penny will become more of a collector's item.

Last penny comes off the line in Winnipeg

WINNIPEG—The last penny has dropped in Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg struck the final one-cent coin under the eye of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Friday.

Flaherty pushed a button on a machine that moments later spit out the last batch of shiny pennies to enter circulation.

“The time has come to make the sensible decision to end production of the coin, which is underused by Canadians, no longer vital to commerce and ultimately a burden on Canada’s balance sheet,” Flaherty said.

He announced in the March budget that the coin would no longer be produced because the cost of making it is more than it’s worth. He has estimated that the government will save $11 million a year.
Flaherty said the penny used to be a source of revenue for the Mint and the government when its face value exceeded the expense to make it.

“Unfortunately this fine balance could not be maintained indefinitely. Over time inflation eroded the purchasing power of the penny and multiplied its manufacturing costs.”

Flaherty is urging people not to hang onto their coppers.

“We hope that all Canadians will consider putting their last pennies to good use by donating them to charity.”

Even though the coins will no longer be made, they will always be accepted in transactions as long as they are still in circulation.
Canada joins several countries that have already dropped pennies or their equivalent, including Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Israel and South Africa.

The first penny to be domestically struck was produced in Ottawa in January 1908 to open the first national mint. Lady Grey, wife of Gov. Gen. Lord Albert Grey, was there to oversee the penny’s birth.
The last one-cent piece is going to Canada’s currency museum in Ottawa.

I believe this is a good move seeing as the cost of copper and manufacturing is putting a drain on the overall Canadian financial stability. My question would be how is this going to affect us as Canadian tax-payers and spenders?

Will we be forced to round up our purchases to the nearest round figure? I'm pretty sure there is no way they will round it down.

Will we see that 11 million dollars saved finds its way back into the public somehow in the form of boosts to Educational funds, Medical funds, Research and Development or something beneficial to the Canadian Public overall??

Environmentally speaking does this mean less copper mining? I would think not as the cost of copper has risen over the years and is still used in other things; it's just not cost-efficient enough to be used in something that represents 1 cent.

I was doing my daily rounds in newgrounds.com and found this flash and was rather shocked as the content has a very strong spiritual and scientific connotation. Please view with an open mind... and remember to breathe. Woosa.

Kabam JOKE

OzDragon — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:57:48 GMT

I was sitting back relaxing and this popped in my head so I had to make it. Time after time Kabam has shown they have no regards for their community base and this last issue is happening right now during a Tourney of Might they bring the servers down and last time I looked about 30 to 45 min ago there was no announcement given to us by the admins/devs or forum mods as to why or even if they know an ETA. All I would like to see is someone from Kabam post something to let us know they are aware of this issue and are working to fix. Would be nice.

So here is the error message that should be posted for us Facebook KOC players.
