After going through the 25 rarest PSN trophies, we here at Geek.com wanted to do the same for the Xbox 360. The problem, however, was getting our hands on that data. Fortunately, gaming site Giant Bomb lets readers link their Xbox 360 gamertags (as well as PSN and Steam accounts), and the people that run it were nice enough help us compile a list of the rarest Xbox 360 achievements in their database.
Of course, Giant Bomb's info only represents the registered users who have linked their Xbox Live accounts, but that's a pretty good sample size to work with. Here's what we found…
(Note: As before, the rarity of these achievements is relative. That is to say that it's based on the number of unlocks vs. the number of players for each game.)
- Pinball FX2 — Ancient Martian Map — Get the ancient Martian map by completing the Final Mission on Mars! (Single player only.) — unlocks: 1
- Pinball FX2 — Medallion of Power — Beat all of the villains including the final boss on Ghost Rider (Single player only) — unlocks: 1
- Pinball FX2 — Stars and Stripes — Defeat the Red Skull in the Final Clash mission series on Captain America (Single player only). — unlocks: 1
- Pinball FX2 — Defeat Ultimo — Eliminate Ultimo on the Iron Man table! (Single player only.) — unlocks: 1
- Pinball FX2 — Bring Magneto To His Knees — Spell out X-MEN and finally conquer Magneto on X-Men. (Single player only.) — unlocks: 1
- Max Payne 3 — Old School Moves — Perform a 720 spin while prone in Nightclub. — unlocks: 1
- Max Payne 3 — WMD — Get 3 kills from a single use of the level 3 explosives burst — unlocks: 1
- Pinball FX2 — Power Cosmic — Complete all the main missions and save the Earth on Fantastic Four. (Single player only) — unlocks: 2
- Pinball FX2 — 3-Ball Wizard — Defeat Magneto during Final Clash or destroy 2 Sentinels on X-Men. (Single player only.) — unlocks: 2
- Pinball FX2 — Story teller — All tales have been completed on the Pasha table. — unlocks: 3
- Pinball FX2 — Lunar Eclipse — Survive the Lunar Eclipse and defeat Seth on Moon Knight (single-player only). — unlocks: 3
- Mutant Storm Reloaded — Black Belt Grandmaster — Complete all 89 levels in Adventure Mode on Black Belt starting from level 1. — unlocks: 2
- Novadrome — Dominion — Finish SuperNova mode — unlocks: 2
- Smash TV — Game Master — Finish the entire game without continuing while using default settings — unlocks: 4
- Max Payne 3 — Early Adopter — In a single game, kill the same player with both the M24 and the IA2 AR — unlocks: 3
- Cyberball 2072 — Super Breaker — Complete all 10 pages in Game Breakers. — unlocks: 1
- Far Cry 2 — Soldier of Misfortune — Unlocked field manuals for all weapons (Ranked match) — unlocks: 8
- EXIT — Legendary Escape Artist — Reached a score of 22,000 or more by the end of Situation 22. — unlocks: 2
- Pinball FX — Professional — A valuable reward for your indispensable services, directly from the President. — unlocks: 4
- Pinball FX — Mr. Falcon — Mr. Falcon is the eagle-eyed professional at the top of the Xtreme wasteland's pecking order. — unlocks: 4
- NBA 2K12 — The Whole Shebang — Earn every achievement in NBA 2K12. — unlocks: 1
- Kameo: Elements of Power — Water Time Attack 'A' — 'A' rank on Time Attack (Water Temple) — unlocks: 7
- Kameo: Elements of Power — Snow Time Attack 'A' — 'A' rank on Time Attack (Snow Temple) — unlocks: 7
- Kameo: Elements of Power — Airship Time Attack 'A' — 'A' rank on Time Attack (Thorn's Airship) — unlocks: 7
- Kameo: Elements of Power — Pass Time Attack 'A' — 'A' rank on Time Attack (Thorn's Pass) — unlocks: 7
The two best known games on the list are Max Payne 3 and Kameo. MP3 has only been available since May, so there hasn't been a lot of time for achievement hunters to completely clear it. Kameo was one of the Xbox 360's launch titles, so it came out when the system's install base was at its smallest. Buried under years of big releases on the platform, it seems that not many players have gone back to master Kameo's time attack modes.
As I saw with rarest PSN trophies, pinball makes up a significant portion of the list with 11 achievements, and claims the top 5 spots. Why does that genre continually rank high on these rare achievement lists? One likely factor is that pinball is a rather niche genre, so there are fewer players working towards unlocking the top accolades. Many of the Pinball FX2 achievements on the list are from downloadable tables, making them even less common than the ones in the base game. It's also worth noting that the Pinball FX series is made by Zen Studios, who also made the Zen Pinball games that dominated the PSN list — so perhaps that developer simply makes some really tough games.
Several lesser-known Xbox Live Marketplace titles make an appearance on the list: Mutant Storm Reloaded, Novadrome, EXIT, and Cyberball 2072. Since none of them are particularly high profile games, it's likely that there aren't many players dedicated enough to unlock their most difficult achievements. Cyberball 2072, a port of the 1989 arcade title, was delisted from Xbox Live in 2010, so its player base is especially limited. Achievements for Smash TV and NBA 2K12 appear to have sneaked into the top 25 by being glitched (a quick Google search for either returns posts from many frustrated gamers), and thus have only been unlocked by players who either got very lucky or did some hacking.
Huge thanks to the fine people at Giant Bomb!

Recently I'm exploring the new brand from Estee Lauder, "The Estee Edit". I am in love with every products of Estee Lauder so i was really willing to try this new brand. And my first impressions are great!
I used these 4 products below:
The Estee Edit Beam Team Hydrate + Glow
This is a lightweight daily moisturizing lotion that illuminates and hydrates my skin and leaving behind a sheer golden-beige hue. It is softly scented with fruit and flower oils including coconut and bergamot. You can use it alone or with makeup.
How does it affects my skin?
It reduces dullness and uneven texture, dryness and uneven skin tone.
My reviews: Cream part makes my skin hydrated and looks brighter. The flip cap contains a touch-on golden-beige creme with soft shimmer for instant highlighting. I apply it to my cheekbones, Cupid's bow and under the brow bone. It is paraben free and you can use it any time of day for an extra glow ;)
The barest lip color
Its formula is so comfortable to both apply and wear! It cushions lips with hydrating muru muru butter and real flower petal waxes from rose, jasmine, and lavender and feels feels so creamy and light on my lips. Almost like a lip balm. Totally love its nude shades!
Pore Vanishing Stick
The Estee Edit Pore Vanishing Stick claims to blur the look of pores / imperfections. And results are better than i expected! First of all, its texture is so velvety and glides onto skin easily. I apply it before make up to minimize my pores and create a better look. Even with a single swipe my skin tone looks better and pores look blurred and thanks to its oil-absorbing powders; bye bye oily skin! It is really easy to apply and portable. You can use it alone if you want a natural looking or to refresh makeup for a velvet-smooth finish.
Flash Illuminator
It is a hybrid highlighter that moisturizes and nourishes the skin. It is formulated with hydrating ingredients which softens dry skin and help to avoid a patchy complexion. The formula is oil-free; you can wear it alone, over, or under your foundation or moisturizer, or mix it with your foundation. It has 5 different shades that include:
- Spot Light: a pearly white that adds a soft-focus highlight
- Morning Light: golden highlight, add a soft highlight which is great for everyday use
- Sun Light: A warm terra cotta glow
- Day Light: a rosy hue that can double as a luminzing blush
- Night Light: bronzy color that can double as a shading cream
*I received this product complimentary from the Influenster but my thoughts are entirely my own.

subset: commoncrawl


text: Here is where I store my new makeup that I purchase… I like to think about it like my own personal Sephora. When I finish a product from my vanity, I dig into my cabinet to find a replacement. But lately, I haven't been finishing my makeup fast enough and all my new products have been piling up. Makeup expires- so I decided to mix it up and pull out a bunch of new makeup even if I wasn't finished with my old one. Then I realized- I'm using makeup (mascaras, correctors, Bronzer) that I don't even like for the sake of using it up! The point of buying new product is to find ones that I can fall in love. I struggle every morning to make certain products work for the sake of finishing them up when I have new and exciting alternatives waiting to be used. Time for a sweep!

Mortal Fear
The man who invented medical techno-horror takes you on a startling and chilling odyssey into the origins of lifeand death.
When an eminent biomolecular geneticist dies violently before his eyes, a doctor must use more than his medical knowledge to explain what he comes to believe is murder, and to stop a scientific breakthrough from becoming a curse instead of a miracle.
There was a lot that internist Jason Howard didn't know about Dr. Alvin Hayes. But when the scientist met his sudden end, it all came out with a vengeancefor the academically respected geneticist had led a double life, and the private side was damning.
Dismissing official police reports linking Hayes's death to his associations with the sordid side of society, Jason believes Hayes was silenced to keep him from revealing the results of his research, and the secret lies not in the back streets of Boston's erotic underworld, the Combat Zone, but in the high-tech genetics laboratories of the Good Health Plan clinic.
Overcoming his own personal emotional problems, Jason turns his powers of diagnosis to deduction, vowing to solve the mystery no matter who tries to stop him. His search will take him from gleaming modern labs to seamy sex clubs, from Beacon Hill drawing rooms to the wilds of the Pacific Northwest and back, before the pieces of the deadly puzzle fall into place.
By then, Jason has unearthed the scientific breakthrough Hayes was killed to hideand has himself become the target of a malevolent cabal, bend on using the origins of life to create a hell on earth.
With this disturbing story, DNA research is shown to have a fearful potential, not only through possible mistakes and accidents, but ironically even through success. Splendidly researched and intricately plotted, Mortal Fear is Robin Cook at his prophetic and galvanizing best.
When an unidentified, seemingly healthy young woman collapses suddenly on the New York City subway and dies upon reaching the hospital, her case is an eerie reminder for veteran medical examiner Jack Stapleton of the 1918 flu pandemic. Read more
Newly minted chief resident at Boston Memorial Hospital Noah Rothauser is swamped in his new position, from managing the surgical schedules to dealing with the fallouts from patient deaths. Read more
"Cook richly develops characters, allowing us to share their most personal thoughts and professional concerns."

Skip to comments.Charles Patrick video chat with Charlottesville Eye Witness
Posted on 08/23/2017 10:41:27 AM PDT by wtd
Charlottesville Virginia erupted in riots on Saturday August 12, 2017 which was characterized by our media as alt left and alt right spontaneously erupting over some monument in Charlottesville, VA.
Subsequent discussion reveals there was nothing spontaneous about this horrific event.
A video clip making the rounds mentioned an EYE WITNESS to KKK/NAZI/ANTIFA/BLM ARRIVING ON SAME BUSES in Charlotte that day .
After locating the video channel, sure enough, the young man followed up on his claim having access to this eyewitness. His follow-up video-chat interview of approximately 40 minutes length follows below along with a rough transcript.
ff 2:20
Charles Patrick: How long were you in Charlottesville before this riot thing happened?
Eye Witness: I was here, starting on my second week. Where I work is just a few minutes from Charlottesville. So, we would go to Charlottesville every day for lunch. This one restaurant, I guess, is a particular town favorite. So, there were a lot of people you know in a restaurant like everythings and restaurants fill for lunch and there were people out, you know, cause theres little shops and stuff around there. And they were having, like at lunch they were having discussions about the vote and it just taken place and then overturned and, you know, were sitting real close to these people and we can hear the conversation. So were trying to get involved. You know, I try to take in my local culture, you know, when I travel for work. We found out that just a couple months prior they had a vote in town on whether to take down a statue or not. The town had voted 80 to 20 to leave the statue up. The tally...
Charles Patrick: Wait a minute, the town voted 80 to 20 to leave the statues up, right?
Eye Witness: Correct.
Charles Patrick: This town is a mixture of black and white voters, correct?
Eye Witness: Yes, and folks black and white voted on both sides of the fence.
Charles Patrick: So, blacks voted to keep it up and blacks voted to take it down. Whites voted to keep it up and whites voted to take it down. Correct?
Eye Witness: Correct.
Charles Patrick: Correct, right?
Eye Witness: Yeah, yes. And we, you know, because we were going up there every day for the week leading up to the riot. So, we had different conversations and the girl that was with me was, you know, we would walk up and down the street and shed show me, you know, on our day off, maybe you can go visit here this is the cute little shop. You know, we met different people. We talked to different people and we met several people that were highly involved in the vote. And the town was going to have a little open forum, like with 50 or 60 people to discuss the vote that had been overturned by City Council...and... oh Im sorry did I leave that out?
Charles Patrick: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. City Council overturned the vote, the 80/20 vote?
Eye Witness: Yes.
Charles Patrick: So the people voted to keep the statue up and City Council overturned that vote?
Eye Witness: Correct. We go in there on Saturday, and we get there about 11 oclock and its the typical scene, you know, a little more than normal younger people out because its Saturday, dont work Saturday. Yeah, so we get there about 11 oclock and, you know, theres kids and theres old people and theres, you know, a bunch of us that work out there, come up there for lunch. So, you know, theres our crowd were mixed in and we see people, pretty much the same people having lunch black, white sitting at the same table, talk with each other ...
Charles Patrick: Ok, stop, let me stop you. I apologize to you all for stopping her at times because I want you all to understand whats really going on. Now in this restaurant, four days before, up until then, people are sitting in a restaurant black and white no arguments, no fights...correct?
Eye Witness: Thats absolutely correct.
Charles Patrick: Again, Im going to say it again for you all. Before this happened, people were sitting in the restaurant black and white no arguments no fights. Am I correct or am I wrong?
Eye Witness: Yeah, but it wasnt just that. I mean, outside the restaurant where the shops and stuff were, ...
Charles Patrick: Ok, so all over,
Eye Witness: Well, yeah. Well what I could see in my line of sight. I cant speak for the rest of the council...
Charles Patrick: Did you see ...did you see black and white people fighting every day?
Eye Witness: There was no fight. There wasnt even raised voices. There were people laughing and joking. There were some tables where you could tell that they were having some serious discussions but no one got out of character. Ok. So, we get there about eleven oclock and then, you know, its pretty busy. So its a little bit before our waitress to get over there. And just about the time she comes up I dont think she even got her name out but it was the same waitress we had all week. Theres one of the guys that has been in and, you know, been around the town or around the area restaurant where wed been all week. Hes banging on the glass, he was outside the restaurant and hes banging on the glass. And it was pretty loud so everybody just stopped and of course everybody looked up and these busses start pulling up.
Charles Patrick: OK, now this guy that was banging on the glass, youve seen him before this, correct?
Eye Witness: Oh, yeah. Ive seen him probably three of the six days, three or four of the six days ...
Charles Patrick: Why was he banging on the glass?
Eye Witness: Yeah, he banged on the window and cracked the door in and pulled a motion like for all of us to look out and pointed at the buses. I could see six of them but the...
Charles Patrick: What color were they?
Eye Witness: The building cut off par t of the road which was across, I want to say, not really a street because its a pedestrian only area. But it was on the other side of that on the opposite side of the lane...Im sorry?
Charles Patrick: What color were these buses?
Eye Witness: They were like a dark charcoal gray. I didnt notice any writing, but, you know, there were some trees and people and stuff in between us and the buses. So, in order to see anything ...
Charles Patrick: Were the buses the same?
Eye Witness: They were all the same.
Charles Patrick: They were all the same buses and I remember earlier you told me that they were back-to-back. They were like bumper-to-bumper.
Eye Witness: Yeah, bumper to bumper, like when school buses all follow each other to an out-of-town football game. You know, they followed each other. One changed lanes, they all followed, you know what I mean. They were bumper to bumper.
Charles Patrick: I understand what youre saying. They were together.
Eye Witness: Yes.
Charles Patrick: Ok. Alright.
Eye Witness: Yeah, so, they pull up and of course, my first thought is its a tour. You know, because Ive been finding out about them finding out about the history of the town. Its a pretty interesting town. You know, theres some pretty rich culture here. Maybe theres just I dont know, a tour going on like old people going to Vegas together. You know?
Charles Patrick: Well, its a tourist town so when you see the buses you see, it was just like a tourist bus.
Eye Witness: Well, yeah. thats what I thought like a charter bus, you know.
Charles Patrick: Charter bus. They were chartered buses. They were charter type buses. Correct? Oh, ok, I get it. I get it.
Eye Witness: Were near West Virginia here too, so it could have been for anything. So, everybody in the restaurant, I mean, you could hear a cricket, everybody kept looking. But you could tell that the town, the locals werent used to seeing something like that. And, I mean, within, within, I want to say 15 seconds...(pause)
Charles Patrick: Yeah. What? Take your time, honestly
Eye Witness: People came running off the bus and just flooded the place. I dont care what anybody says. And I dont care if everybody believes me but these people came off that bus ready to I dont know what to fight. They had on helmets. They had they had on knee pads and elbow pads and face guards and mouth pieces and purses and bags and backpacks full of paint, carrion, sticks and ...
Charles Patrick: Well, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Now, were these all white people getting off the bus?
Eye Witness: No. No, no, no, no, no, no. There were just as many black people as there were white people...just as many women as there was men
Charles Patrick: So, white and black people got off the bus. So white people, black people, men and women got off the bus is what youre trying is what youre telling me, right?
Eye Witness: Got off the same bus. I even saw some people carrying um, you know those shields that policemen use for riots on videos and stuff? carried them off the bus
Charles Patrick: Where they get that from? Really? Now, now, these black and white people getting off the bus, were they are these the ones that had on t-shirts?
Eye Witness: There were t-shirts, there was emblems. There was now I dont recognize all the different groups that are out there. The ones that I know of are BLM, KKK, yeah, Black Lives Matter, the KKK, (overspeak)
Charles Patrick: Yeah. Now youve seen these emblems is what youre saying?
Eye Witness: Yeah, I did. Not just one or two. Everybody on those buses that came off those buses had something on them that caught my attention. Oh, my God! Thats the KKK! Oh, my God! Thats a BLM!
Charles Patrick: So youre telling me. Now...Wait a minute. So youre telling me that Black Lives Matter and the KKK got off the same damn bus.
Eye Witness: Yeah, but wait a minute. I think I might have left something out. Leading up to it, those people that Im talking about that were having a civilized conversation in the restaurant in the town they were also BLM. I didnt see any KKK or anything like that but I after speaking to people you could tell or they would even offer up the information that they were affiliated or associated or into KKK or some other Aryan whatever. But they were having conversations with each other.
Charles Patrick: So, you say that in the restaurants, Black Lives Matter and Aryan Nation or KKK were having civil conversations?
Eye Witness: Yes. They were talking like you and I are talking.
Charles Patrick: Now, when it popped off, when everybody disembarked the buses what happened then?
Eye Witness: Well, there was a couple of the men in the restaurant that kind of led us all back to the back door which led into the alley and a lot of us had parked there in the alley. But there was probably, I want to say twenty or thirty of us....
Charles Patrick: Yaall went out the back door of the restaurant.
Eye Witness: Yeah, I went out the back door because the people from the buses were coming from the front and they werent walking. They werent skipping. They were full on running and screaming and throwing things. I mean they came off the bus angers and ready to damage.
Charles Patrick: Throwing? What do you mean? What were they throwing? Throwing what? Throwing? What do you mean?
Eye Witness: Well, the one that almost got me and a few people around me was, it was like a 20 oz. Sprite bottle that had concrete in it. I never ...who the ...theyre throwing everything they can get their hands on. They had like condoms and balloons filled with, I dont know if it was horse manure which is very common around here I mean I, ...
Charles Patrick: Wait a minute. They had condoms and balloons with feces in it? (cross talk)
Eye Witness: It was filled with crap and I dont know what else. I know it smells like nothing Id ever smelled . . .
Charles Patrick: So somebody was carrying around twenty ounce bottles of Sprite with concrete in it and feces getting off the bus and feces in balloons.
Eye Witness: Yeah, and pepper spray and mace. The people sitting next to me in the restaurant was the sweetest old man. He was there having lunch with his grand-daughter, his great-grand-daughter who was seven and she was so in love with her grandpa and ...(pause) ...(upset now) when we were going out the back of the restaurant, the man was trying really hard to keep his granddaughter from seeing what was going on because it all happened so fast. We didnt have time to think or react or nothing. But, you could tell that everybody was scared, but you could tell there were people trying to stay calm because there were a lot of kids with a lot of old people that couldnt move real fast, you know. So, things are just coming out of the air, hit the ground around us. This old man is trying to stay over the top of his granddaughter and me and I m trying to cover him and his granddaughter and there was a ....
Charles Patrick: Yeah. You were next to them?
Eye Witness: Yeah, were arm in arm. Were holding even while were walking. Right? And were walking very fast, I guess, shaking, were trying not to scare the kid you know.
Charles Patrick: Right. Right. Cause there were a lot of kids, right.
Eye Witness: Yeah, I want to say there were like 8 or 9 kids under the age of, I want to say ten. There were older black teenagers . . .
Charles Patrick: There were people throwing feces..the people throwing feces and concrete didnt give a damn, right?
Eye Witness: They had zero interest in who was getting hit, hurt . It was like they couldnt see us as people. I cant imagine another human would (upset) treat another human like that.
Charles Patrick: Im sorry Im making you relive this. Damn.
Eye Witness: So, anyway, one of those while we see something slide and one of the guys was at the table next to us was on my left side and the grandfather and the granddaughter on my right side. And I cant even count how many things were flying through the air but ...
Charles Patrick: Scary. I know it was scary.
Eye Witness: Yes. Theres something flying at us and its got armor and models. Its even armed and it, I guess drops to the ground. It lands right in front of me and I look up and his arm bowed in, it had his arm attached to them and I picked it up and um Im just in total disbelief. If that would have hit that little girl, she would be dead. If that would have hit the man, hed probably be dead.
Charles Patrick: Yeah, a brick to the head can kill somebody, man. ..it came from, right...
Eye Witness: I dont know how far away it came from but for it to do the kind of damage to that mans arm...and thats just in our little spot. I dont know. You could hear ..
Charles Patrick: ...like different areas they were still popping off, right?
Eye Witness: You could hear people screaming. You could hear people crying. You can hear babies...now when I say babies I mean, you know anybody under the age of 10 to me, thats a baby. People were running, and we were ...the people in the restaurant I was in, we werent the only ones that were in camp(?) we were all trying to get out. We didnt know what people were doing why they were doing it. I had not the hotel I was staying in, Im saying hotel, it didnt have television or internet connection so....
Charles Patrick: You was in the sticks.
Eye Witness: Yeah, I was. I was on a horse ranch. I had no idea that anything like this was coming and I dont think a lot of the people there did. Otherwise, none of us would have been there because we were trying to leave and it looked like these people were trying to push us out . I mean, they came in like a swarm of bees.
Charles Patrick: So, they didnt know if you all were for or against anything. They were just coming in to make stuff happen.
Eye Witness: They didnt ask any questions. They didnt talk to anybody. They came running full force. They came running...
Charles Patrick: Off the buses, black and white. Now, the black and white, they got off the bus. Did they have one...What did they...I understand you said they had on the gear but was it ANTIFA? Was it BLM? Was it KKK? Who were they? I mean, who do you think they were?
Eye Witness: I dont know the emblems of very many um, hate groups. I know the emblems of the KKK which obviously is a hate group. I mean, you know that. Everybody recognizes that. The Confederate flag, everybody recognizes that. BLM, everybody recognizes that.
Charles Patrick: So, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you telling me that people with Black Lives Matter t-shirts got off the same bus as people with Confederate flag shirts?
Eye Witness: ...and KKK emblems, NAZI emblems, ...
Charles Patrick: ...wait a minute all these people got off the same type of bus?
Eye Witness: Yes.
Charles Patrick: Please believe me people. I am not taking up for KKK. Im not taking up for Black Lives Matter. Im not taking up for any groups, but Im highly doubting that any of these people were truly with any of those groups. These people were hired to come out there and start some crap . Believe me now. You heard me put out videos about Black Lives Matter. You heard me put out videos about KKK. Im not a fan of neither one, but the people that were on these buses I do not believe were a part of any of those groups because they were paid to do it. Now, tell about what happened with the guy in the Dodge Challenger, the murderer.
Eye Witness: OK, so the alley we go out into has cars parked on both sides of the alley and theres one car pulled up at the end of the alley between their side. So, if makes a sort of U-shape and some of the people have their cars parked in that alley. So people from the restaurant and people from the nearby area that you get there were jumping in cars to avoid getting beaten or hit, just to be safe. We see this car pull up and one of the ladies that was in the restaurant with (indistinguishable) says sir, you cant go down there. He rolls down his window and said, Ill get through and then he just nailed it. Charles, I dont need anybody to believe what Im saying but my hand under God,...
Charles Patrick: All that matters is I believe you.
Eye Witness: ...all that is lovely heard this man and we were all around his car...know what was going to happen when he went down that street and hit that gas pedal
Charles Patrick: OK, let me ask you this. Did anybody hit his car? Beat on his car? Anything to startle him to hit the gas?
Eye Witness: If you count that woman tapping on his window because we thought he was with us. We had seen this guy previously in the week.
Charles Patrick: Wait a minute. Youve seen this dude earlier in the week?
Eye Witness: not in the restaurant that day, he wasnt in the restaurant that day.
Charles Patrick: But youve seen him during that week?
Eye Witness: Yeah, it was the same people. You know, a few, all week long, it was the same people you see a few different faces here and there but like you said earlier, it was like going to your favorite bar. Its the same people. Every now and then you get a visitor and sort of you know, draws attention because theyre not a regular which is what I was in the beginning too, you know.
Charles Patrick: Right. right. Correct. Cause you were new in the area too. So she tapped on the window and told the guy you cant go down there ...
Eye Witness: Sir, you cannot get through there. he said I can get through
Charles Patrick: he said, I can get through there. And he hit the gas like bullah-hoop-doop (?) and went right into the crowd...and backed up...
Eye Witness: Yeah, and we all ran, we all started running up to, you know, from the back you couldnt really see (upset) what kind of damage he had done. When he backed up he got almost, almost everybody that was in the restaurant. He hit, you know, either their foot, their arms, one lady milked it she just slapped the side of his car and threw herself on the ground. That was so odd with everything that was going on...
Charles Patrick: Let me...hold on. He went forward, hit the car, stopped, then backed up. Were people around his car, I mean, we see the videos. Everybody seen this video and apparently you were there.. How does...
Eye Witness: ...the video. I have not seen the video.
Charles Patrick: You dont need to see the video but we the people that Im talking to they have seen the video. So, once he hit the car and backed up. On the back up he hit more people, correct? Youve seen him hit more people ?
Eye Witness: ...a lot more people.
Charles Patrick: The young lady who got killed in the situation, um, youve seen or conversed with her or had seen people conversing with her before this happened, within the week before. Correct?
Eye Witness: Yeah. She was, um, she was in the restaurant, like, I want to say it at least three days. And I didnt speak with her 1 on 1 but I was at a table who was speaking with her table and we were at a table together one day and everybody was just talking about their opinions on why they voted the way they did . She gave her opinions on why she wanted it left up . On one of the days she was having lunch with a black man and a black woman and they were very civil to each other. They were giving her opinions. She was giving hers. They were kind of exchanging I guess opinions. She wasnt, from the conversations that I heard, she wasnt affiliated with any white supremacist group but she was proud to be white. She seemed like a really sweet lady.
Charles Patrick: The people that she talked to. Were they having like mean conversations or just conversations.
Eye Witness: Yeah, and I mean, it was just like you and I talking right now. It was just, I dont know, a regular conversation. I mean, I dont know that my regular is the same as everybody elses regular but no one got out of character. She was not involved in any of the protesting or anything. She was trying to leave. This, there were some people that were there that they were holding some kind of signs. This was maybe on Wednesday or Thursday. But they were shaking peoples hands when they were walking by. You could see people laughing with the. You know. I mean I never walked that far down but you could see them having conversations with kids. They were taking selfies and stuff like that so for me it didnt catch my attention because it wasnt aggressive. They werent chanting and screaming at anybody. And they were shaking hands and talking to black and white people .
Charles Patrick: Right. And youre saying that the woman who wanted the woman who wanted the woman who got killed wanted the monuments to stay up. Correct?
Eye Witness: Yeah. From the conversations I heard, I overheard her say it a couple of times that she did want the statues to stay up.
Charles Patrick: Now, youve seen her speaking, sitting at the table with a black couple, a black guy and a woman and they spoke and were cordial? No anger. No animosity. None of that crap. Last but not least, tell us about the police and hold on, before you say that and Im just doing a French Dip interview. If Im not doing the interview like Dan Brokaw or any of them other MFers I dont care. This is a Charles Patrick EXCLUSIVE interview!
Eye Witness: Well this part was probably the hardest part of me to digest. I have a lot of family members involved in the military, in the police department, in the fire department, and I have nothing but the utmost respect for them. (upset) But when we were trying to leave it wasnt just the people from the bus that was keeping us trapped. The police were lined up and would not let us get to safety. They would not let us out of the crowd. It was like being corralled on. It was like being corralled, like being circled...
Charles Patrick: So the police wouldnt let you all leave area.
Eye Witness: Nope, ...
Charles Patrick: Were the police there before this started?
Eye Witness: Yes and we were black and white and we were not in riot gear and we had no weapons in our hands. We had kids with us. We had old people with us.
Charles Patrick: Wait a minute. The police didnt let the kids leave?
Eye Witness: No. They were standing side to side and holding them in place. The crowd was getting bigger and bigger and we were getting more and more cramped and smashed and punched and pushed and the kids (very upset)...
Charles Patrick: The kids were there (incredulous)?
Eye Witness: The kids were there.
Charles Patrick: How, how, how was the police holding back people with kids? What do you mean? I dont know, is it me?
Eye Witness: They were not making eye contact with any of us. It was like they were looking right through us. I turned around and I looked at two of the officers right behind me and said please, just let us out, weve got babies with us and they just stared right through us...
Charles Patrick: WHAT? (incredulous)
Eye Witness: ...on the other side, people wanted me...I dont know if they wanted us dead I dont know if they just wanted - (sobbing) I dont have an answer. I dont know how to explain what I saw. Ive never Ive seen a lot of bad things in my life. Ive never seen people just have no regard for anybodys life. Nobodys life. It didnt matter whether you were young, old, black or white all this ZERO nothing mattered.
Charles Patrick: So, youre saying the police kept people in harms way instead of trying to get them out. So, let me be suspicious.
Eye Witness: ...its those police that were there that day...
Charles Patrick: Come on now. Im not talking about our police. Im talking about those police. I know police. I got buddies who are police. I got buddies that are ... I mean, I got buddies that are, I got buddies that will watch my back all the time that are police right now. So, I dont have a problem with police. But I will...
Eye Witness: But Charles, thats what Im saying. None of this made sense because you didnt know who the good guy was and nobody would help you .
Charles Patrick: So, let me tell you, let me ask you this. How do you know that they knew - how do you know that they seen the kids? Put it that way. Im going to be the advocate. How do you know the police seen the kids? Dont get mad at me. Im just asking a question.
Eye Witness: There was two women who locked arms with me and Renoir was talking about and the young man behind me with two women holding their babies. I dont mean babies like in diapers. I mean like one girl was probably like five or six and another one was probably seven or eight. And then the little grand-daughter. She was seven. Thats three kids right there. We were face to f- well face to shield with these cops.
Charles Patrick: So, they didnt let you by. Alright.
Eye Witness: One of the guys that was in the restaurant with us, I guess he was a cook or something, he managed, I want to say twenty feet down from where I was at managed to crack a hole because there was like a , one of those silver rail things, you know, that kind of makes you form a line, he managed to break through one of those and he locked arms with the guy next to Granpa and the Grandpa is of course locked on to the rest of us and we just all filed out real quick.
Charles Patrick: I apologize. Im sorry you went through all that craziness.
Eye Witness: Im not crying for me cause Im a grown woman, you know.
Charles Patrick: Im sorry you got to see it and I understand what youre saying and I just want to enlighten people. My whole thing in bringing you on is to enlighten people to the lies that are going on and that the media I mean, come on, you got to look at me. Im Charles Patrick. Im not anybody. You know what Im saying? If I can get somebody to tell me this, in an honest way, why cant these gigantic multi-million brilliant dumb companies get the truth? You know why they cant do it? Its because they are not looking for it. I dont know what but we got to do something to stop this . Go buy all the duct tape you can buy if you see these kind of buses in your area - duct tape the bus closed. I really appreciate this and appreciate everybody for tuning in on this and sharing this . Again, I want to reiterate that I am NOT a conspiracy dude. I dont do conspiracy all the time. Ill just try to keep it honest. My name is Charles Patrick. Hit me up on the CharlesPatrick.com. We have to appreciate her for what she told us. OK.

it was all scripted and staged by soros/dnc "rent a riot"

Exactly why I took the time to provide the rough transcript. As a matter of fact, if you try to follow the video with the close caption option, the dialog is ridiculously off from what is being said.
could be the organizer could be accessory to murder???
I wonder if there was surveillance video anywhere - some evidence of these large numbers of charter-type buses bringing in the rent-a-mob dressed as both "sides" of the fracas.
And the thought bubbles up inside me: For a group to come in and cause violence amongst people who were disagreeing and discussing civilly really, REALLY shows that this is a TERRORIST activity. Whoever orchestrated this needs to be in Gitmo. Today. And the media that was in on it needs to be charges as accessories to the crimes also. Period.
Thank you for providing the transcript. Transcribing 40 minutes is not an easy task, but an important one when content is likely to go down the memory hole.
You are welcome. Those involved in terrorizing innocents need to be in jail. This should not be tolerated.

Subscribe To InFamous: Second Son Has No Multiplayer But It Is Replayable Updates
I've already subscribed
The co-founder of Sucker Punch Studios and the producer of inFamous: Second Son, Brian Fleming, opted to answer some fan questions about the upcoming exclusive for the PS4, and he had some interesting things to say about the game.
Actually, to be honest, they weren't that interesting if you've been following the game – so if you haven't been following the game, you'll probably find this post somewhat interesting (I can't make any promises, though, it's likely you'll get bored before you get to the second quote).
Over on the PlayStation Blog the Q&A took place, and Fleming rolled out some info about lead protagonist Delsin Rowe's powers... including his ability to harness Tron. Well, actually no... he has the ability to harness Neon. I don't know what that means. However, it looks like Tron: Legacy, so technically, Delsin Rowe has the power to harness Tron... as explained by Fleming...
"To avoid spoiling the game, we've really only talked about Smoke and Neon powers, and we're keeping that stance until the game launches."
This is good news. One of my biggest gripes – apart from railing on the atrocious AI featured in the CES demo – was that the powers looked like spam-fests when Rowe was caught under fire from a goon squad. Repeatedly he pelted the armored force like he was spamming a laser blaster from Space Invaders. It's good to know that this was likely due to the power not being leveled up, as opposed to the game mechanics being broke. I feel enlightened now. Thanks Fleming!
As for multiplayer... Brian rolled out the news to make it known that there's no secret multiplayer option tucked away into the game. If this were the 16-bit or 32-bit era, maybe there would have been some secret, hidden-away feature, but this is the era of dirty ports and perpetual crunch-times. So, no Dice.
"...it's a single-player experience, but of course you can share it with others using the fantastic Share button on DualShock 4."
Also, just so you know: Delsin's appearance does change as he goes from moderate bad boy you wouldn't want your teenage daughter dating, to full-fledged bad boy you wouldn't even want your daughter looking at... you know, the kind of bad boy that carries condoms around in his pocket on his way to pick up a pack of cigarettes. Fleming admits that choices will affect Rowe's appearance...
"Yes, a lot of the things that players expect — like the changes in the character and the changes in the powers — are present. They all relate and feedback to the karma systems. So you'll have vastly different visuals and powers depending on which way you're playing."
Last and least... Brian makes it known that even after the main mission ends, there's still stuff to do in Seattle...
"The inFAMOUS games always have secondary content spread throughout the world. There's a fairly large DUP presence inside the city that remains to be cleared out after you finish the main game. They'll continue to launch incursions into the city after you've wrapped up the campaign, so they'll be plenty to keep you going.
That's cool beans. No one likes paying $60 for a four hour long campaign and a laggy, throwaway multiplayer component. I'm not talking about any single one game in particular... you know, I'm just saying.
InFamous: Second Son is set to launch at the end of March, exclusively for the PlayStation 4. You can pre-order the game right now or sit back and wait for the reviews to drop before diving head-first into Sony's first big post-launch exclusive.

Saving Private Norman – ★★★★
Motorcycle clubs like the Hells Angels and others were born out of WWII soldiers returning home only to find they were unable to adapt to normal society. With Fury we see the genesis of such a group. Four men cramped in a small tank, inhaling each others stench, depending on one another for survival and having only themselves to comfort upon seeing the horrors of war.
Brad Pitt is Wardaddy (the leader of the group). Shia LaBeouf is his weapons man and pious bible quoter, next is Michael Pena a front gunner and finally Jon Bernthal the tank idiot and weapons man. The film starts in a dreamlike wasteland with Pitt murdering a German officer on horseback. He then frees the horse in a symbolic gesture which becomes more grounded as the film progresses. Their tank – Fury – is the only one to have survived the off screen battle and when they return to base camp they are met by Norman (Logan Lerman), a very wet behind-the-ears desk clerk who has been assigned to their tank.
With the rest of the unit hardened by their time in the field, a steep learning curve ensues for Norman. He must quickly learn to kill Nazis or be of little use to Wardaddy and his band of brothers. We see how soon an ideal is lost and it simply becomes a matter of survival. The tank numbers keep dwindling and soon Fury is all that is left leaving the dilemma, stay and fight or retreat?
Fury fits into many war film camps. It has the gritty realism of Saving Private Ryan (but without the handheld cameras), the abstract stillness of The Thin Red Line, the symbolism of Jarhead and the sheer insanity of Apocalypse Now. With Saving Private Ryan we saw the bloody reality of the D-Day landings but in Fury we also delve more into the psychological trauma of war. With Brad Pitt telling of first killing Germans in Africa and now killing them in Germany, we get a sense of the all-encompassing nature of war.
All the acting is faultless. LaBeouf stands out, in a sense portraying the moral core of the film. His constant belief that they are doing God's will gives an insight into what most men must have been feeling and how they rationalised the horrendous deeds they witnessed and committed. Lerman continues the promise he showed in The Perks of Being a Wallflower with an excellent performance in showing the effects of war on the youth of America.
Director David Ayer has done a stellar job in knitting this unit together and capturing the claustrophobia of tank warfare. All the characters look as if they haven't slept in months making it easier to warm to their hurt and sympathise when some inevitably perish. Quite philosophical at times, Fury explodes in the final third and while the film is certainly building to this, the journey along the way leaves a lot to ponder.
With the group proclaiming many times during the film "best job I ever had" you realise they have become institutionalised. The victims of Stockholm Syndrome – trapped in a fight they don't want yet are incapable of escaping from.
Fury is released nationwide today the 22nd of October 2014

The Tony Award-winning play Morning's at Seven opened February 24 at Boise Little Theater and runs through March 11. The play takes place in a small Midwestern town in the late 1930s in a backyard between two sisters' homes. The set, designed by Jerry Snodgrass, Jim Anderson and Jim Koeppl, is a jewel, with two houses, a garden and a very impressive tree.
Director Wendy Koeppl has assembled an accomplished cast to portray the sisters and their families, and their intertwining stories create a heartwarming and funny evening's entertainment. The oldest sister, Esther, beautifully portrayed by Sue Galligan, serves as a peacemaker and voice of logic when emotions run high. Galligan has just the right amount of warmth as well as vim and vigor to calm rocky situations and manages to do her own thing in spite of her domineering husband, David. Larry Chase is superb as the stuffy husband, David, who thinks all his wife's relatives are "morons." He struts into the garden autocratically and orders his wife (and everyone else) about, feeling that as a college professor he is superior to them all.
Cora Swanson and her easy-going husband Theodore (Thor) are played by LaRae Walker and Gerry Fields, with the comfortable familiarity of a 40-year marriage. However, tension is created in the play as Cora (Walker) finally rebels and is determined to have her husband to herself after sharing their home all their married lives with her spinster sister Aaronetta (Arry).
The "old maid" sister Arry is dramatically portrayed by Joni Cordell as petty, selfish and demanding. Cordell offers a stunning, vibrant performance, perhaps the most rounded character creation in the show, as she fights to maintain her tenuous hold on her place in her sister's home, even using secrets and blackmail. Although her character can be nasty, Cordell achieves a moving moment of pathos.
The catalyst shaking up the family relationships is Homer Bolton, who at 40-something has finally brought home his fiancee of 11 years to meet Mom and Dad. Eric L. Rogge is perfect as the thick, slow-witted and clumsy Homer, and his fiancee, the patient Myrtle Brown, is delightfully played by Michelle Nelson as nervous, charming and falling over herself in her eagerness to please everyone.
Homer's doting mother, Ida Bolton (Diane Benedict), has her hands full dealing with husband Carl's "spells" over his failures in life. E. Coston Frederick brings lots of welcome humor to this role, and Benedict, too, is very funny as she proves again that she is the queen of the "slow take" at BLT.
Maybe it was opening night jitters, but Koeppl's pacing was a bit uneven, some of the lines were uncertain and there seemed to be a stiffness between the four women playing the Gibbs sisters that belied their years of closeness.
All in all, this look at a quirky family, with its secrets, passions and problems is a delightful opportunity to think about love, family loyalty and what things are really important in this life.
Thur.-Sat., Mar. 9-11; Boise Little Theater, 100 E. Fort St. For reservations, call 342-5104 or visit www.boiselittletheater.org.

Oral Histories of South Asian Immigrant entrepreneurs in the Silicon Valley
This project is in a nascent stage and currently I am in the process of reading up, tracking existing archives and getting acquainted with Oral Histories as a method. Some of the things I am reading are listed at southasia.space. Interviews will follow. The aim of this project is to frame the ethnic, organizational and other strategies deployed by first generation South Asian migrants in the Silicon Valley to build a "community of practice" that has subsequently supported and fostered the growth of South Asians in the United States, especially in S&E.

Paul had never met the Colossian Christians; he nevertheless sought to strengthen them in their faith and assurance in Jesus. Jesus is the treasure of all knowledge and wisdom; we have no need to look elsewhere.
Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church; whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God, even the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; whereunto I labor also, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
For I would have you know how greatly I strive for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh; that their hearts may be comforted, they being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, that they may know the mystery of God, even Christ, in whom are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden. This I say, that no one may delude you with persuasiveness of speech. For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.
As therefore ye received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and builded up in him, and established in your faith, even as ye were taught, abounding in thanksgiving (Colossians 1:24-2:7).

A two-time Division II National Coach of the Year, Santa Clara University announced Thurs., June 30 it has hired Dan O'Brien as the new Bronco head baseball coach. O'Brien has spent the last 14 seasons as the head coach at UC San Diego, building that program into one of the premier programs at the NCAA Division II level. Dan O'Brien, the 36th head coach in school history in a baseball program that dates back to 1883, replaces Mark O'Brien after he stepped down in early June after 10 years at the Bronco helm.
Over the past eight seasons, O'Brien's Tritons qualified for five NCAA Division II West Regional showings, two NCAA National Championship Finals appearances and set a school record for wins four times. O'Brien, a 1995 graduate of UCSD, was easily the winningest coach in program history, holding a career record of 454-283-1 (.616) through the 2011. In 2011, starting pitchers Tim Shibuya and Guido Knudson became UCSD's first Major League Baseball draft picks since 2003. All told, 42 Tritons have earned all-West Region accolades since UCSD moved to Division II in 2001, while 72 student-athletes have been named to All-CCAA teams.
"We are so pleased to be bringing Dan O'Brien aboard to usher in a new era in Bronco baseball," said SCU Athletic Director Dan Coonan. "He is a phenomenal baseball coach, as baseball people will attest to, but an even better person. He embodies the type of values Santa Clara holds so dear, and that manifests itself in his coaching style and philosophy. He is quite accustomed to running a successful baseball program at a top academic institution. He is a perfect fit for Santa Clara and is ready to bring the program to new heights. We can't wait."
"I am very humbled and honored to be Santa Clara's head baseball coach and am thrilled about the opportunity that Dan Coonan and his staff has provided me," said O'Brien. "Santa Clara is a very special place. Anyone who has associated with this University knows that, and I'm excited to create a similar culture within this program that will inspire people to want to be a part of it. I see greatness in the very near future for Bronco Baseball, and will tirelessly work to bring this program to the level that it's capable of becoming."
Under O'Brien's guidance, the Tritons earned berths in the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championship (CCAA) Tournament eight years running, winning the tournament title in 2005, '09, '10 and '11. UCSD has also made five consecutive NCAA Regional appearances and claimed back-to-back West Regional crowns in 2009 and '10.
After reaching the national championship game in 2010, the Tritons lived up to their billing again in 2011, winning their third consecutive CCAA regular season and tournament titles. As the No. 1 seed, UCSD hosted the West Regional for the first time in program history. The Tritons were ranked in the national top-30 all season and held the No. 1 spot for two straight weeks in February. Ending the year at No. 6, UCSD finished with a 42-15 overall record and a 29-11 mark in CCAA play. The Tritons strung together a school-record 19-game win streak between Apr. 9 and May 14.
O'Brien was honored as the 2011 Daktronics West Region Coach of the Year, the NCBWA West Region Co-Coach of the Year and the CCAA Coach of the Year. Nine Tritons picked up all-West accolades and starting pitcher Tim Shibuya and utility player Blake Tagmyer earned all-American honors.
After going 41-15 and advancing to the DII College World Series for the first time in 2009, UCSD was even better in 2010. The Tritons recorded a remarkable overall record of 54-8 -- the best mark in program history -- and went on to capture conference regular season, CCAA Tournament and West Regional titles for the second year in a row. The top-ranked Tritons returned to Cary, N.C., where they defeated No. 4 Georgia College & State, No. 3 Central Missouri and No. 13 Franklin Pierce to reach the national championship game unscathed. Despite the perfect week, UCSD would come up short in the final game, losing a 6-4 heartbreaker to ninth-ranked Southern Indiana.
The Tritons wrapped up postseason play with a 9-2 record en route to the national runner-up finish. O'Brien was named the 2010 NCBWA National Coach of the Year for the second year in a row, while also taking home ABCA/Rawlings West Region and CCAA Coach of the Year accolades in consecutive seasons, as well.
The Tritons set a total of 19 program records in 2010. O'Brien reached a major milestone of his own during the season, recording career win No. 400 on Apr. 30 following a 19-3 rout at San Francisco State.
O'Brien's squads posted the top fielding percentage in the nation in 2008, '09 and '10 (including a school record .984 in 2010) and he coached two-time National Defensive Player Year Vance Albitz in 2009 and '10. In addition, the 2010 squad had six ABCA All-Americans and two National Gold Glove winners.
O'Brien was named head coach of the Tritons following the 1998 season, when he served as the interim head coach. He led UCSD to a 20-18 record in his first season, as that team broke a total of five school records. In 1999, UCSD again posted a winning record, going 19-18 overall, followed by an impressive 22-13 campaign in 2000, the team's final year of Division III competition.
After going 14-34 in the program's first season at the Division II level, UCSD surprised everyone the following year, posting an overall record of 30-23-1 and a 23-17 mark in the competitive CCAA. The Tritons reached the 30-win plateau for the first time since 1994 and had the second-largest turnaround in the country that season. O'Brien earned UCSD's Excellence in Coaching Award for the first time in his career, an award he has won each of the last three years, as well.
In 2004, O'Brien led the Tritons to a 35-24 overall record and a 22-18 mark in conference play. Ranked as high as No. 10 in the nation, UCSD qualified for its first CCAA Tournament, defeating Sonoma State 6-2. In 2005, he directed the squad to 37 victories and a second consecutive conference postseason appearance. The Tritons won 10 of their final 11 games, including a 7-6 victory over Chico State to sew up the program's first CCAA Championship. After another banner year in 2006, UCSD went 37-25 in 2007 and advanced to the NCAA Division II West Regional for the first time.
UCSD went 43-18 overall in 2008, setting a school record for victories. The Tritons went 25-11 in league play, advancing to the CCAA Tournament once again, and qualified for a second straight NCAA West Regional. UCSD won two regional games, before being eliminated by Chico State.
The Tritons defeated Sonoma State 12-4 in the West Regional Championship game to earn a berth in the Division II College World Series for the first time in program history. UCSD, which also garnered a No. 1 national ranking for the first time at the Division II level that season, recorded victories over West Chester and Dowling in Cary, before losing to Emporia State in the national semifinals.
After graduating from UCSD with a degree in communications in 1995, O'Brien served as an assistant for former head coach Lyle Yates before joining him in Greenville, Miss., as a player/coach with the Greenville Bluesman. O'Brien helped guide the minor league club to the 1996 Big South League Championship, before returning to UCSD for the 1997 season as an assistant under Robert Fletcher.
O'Brien played two seasons for UCSD in 1994-95, leading the Tritons to a 33-8 record and a third place finish at the Division III College World Series in his first year with the team. He led the team in home runs, was a two-time team captain, and won the John Rolph Memorial Award. O'Brien can be found among the school's top-10 for career and single season putout totals.

"Dan has made a major impact at UC San Diego. He is one of the top up and coming young coaches in the country. He will represent Santa Clara in a first-class way and will work hard to take that program to another level. I have a ton or respect for him on and off the field and I think he is a great choice. He is very well-rounded and has been at a number of different levels. He is a student of the game and will incorporate a lot of the things he does successfully to help Santa Clara be a top level program. He's genuine. He's a baseball guy. Great choice.
Rich Hill, Head Coach, San Diego; has won WCC title five times
"Santa Clara has made an excellent choice in Dan O'Brien. He has a proven track record of success at a very difficult place to succeed. UCSD and Santa Clara are both very prestigious academic institutions and Dan is a proven winner at an institution that also places an emphasis on academic performance. Dan's best things are his abilities to be a true motivator and a great role model. He will be a shining light for both Santa Clara University and the West Coast Conference as well. He built a really monster Division II program at UC San Diego. Santa Clara is a great place and he will do well."
Ed Sprague, Head Coach, Pacific; 11-year career in Major Leagues (including World Series titles in 1992 and '93), NCAA Champion third-baseman at Stanford (1987, '88)
"Dan is a great guy and I congratulate him on his new position. He has done a fantastic job at UC San Diego. He is a very good fit for Santa Clara because he understands recruiting high academic kids that can play baseball. He will do a very good job there and it will be nice to have him Northern California."
Matt Cantele, Former UC San Diego All-American (2007), 2005 St. Francis Graduate
"Coach O'Brien is very into the development of each of his players both as student-athletes and people. He stresses the mental and physical growth of a person as much as anything. That was one of the real differences vs. other coaches I played for in the past – he really cares about the person. It's really important to him. He plays baseball the right way. He is very intense and a great guy. People love to play for him. He will push you. He lets you know what he is thinking and he pushes you to get better every day. He cares. I can't say enough good things about him. He really helped me grow as a person, especially now that I am in the work force and it's "life after baseball". I live by a lot of the same principles he teaches. He is always on top of it and you know what you are going to get each day. You better be ready to focus. He doesn't take a practice off and you better not. He really preaches integrity and that has helped me and puts him head and shoulders above the rest."
Tim Mort, Former UC San Diego Player, Four-Year Starter for the Tritons, Career .320 hitter
"He wasn't just a coach to me – he inspired me on and off of the field. He always stressed the mental game of life. It has really helped me off the field. He knows the game very well. Our team wasn't always the most talented team in the league but we went to the College World Series my senior year and we also won a couple CCAA titles as well. He has always been there for me and for my family. He was always someone I could go to when something were to happen. I consider him more than a coach and he is top role model of mine. I was born and raised in Santa Clara and have had a lot of friends who have played for the Broncos. I am a big fan of the Bronco program and I knew once Schott Stadium was built it could be great. Coach O'Brien, especially with his leadership skills and recruiting ability, only wants to be the best. He will strive for the national championship every year, every single year that will be his mindset – to bring a national championship to the program. That is just the way he is and that's the way he runs it. He's an even better person off the field. On the field he is a winner and doesn't like to lose. They will be the hardest working team out there until they achieve their goal – which will always be to a win a national title."
Earl W. Edwards, UC San Diego, Athletic Director
"We will certainly miss Dan O'Brien as an integral part of the success of the UC San Diego Athletic program. His performance as a coach was excellent on all levels. He provided his athletes a positive experience, emphasized their academic development and created a winning environment. I know he will do well as the Head Coach at Santa Clara University."
Josh Tanner, Graduated from UC San Diego 2009 (played four years) and worked as an assistant coach at UCSD in 2010; Interning currently with San Francisco Giants
"He has been a big influence in my life. I played a lot as a freshman and then didn't play well the next couple years, battling some homesickness and he was always there for me. By my senior year I had grown into a good role on the team. I won a Golden Glove my senior year and hit over .400. Coach O'Brien was a really good father figure on the field and was a big influence in my life. I know he is the same for so many people. Coaching with him in 2010 was really special as well. He puts so much work in behind the scenes and so much effort into it. It's pretty special. He has really done great things with that program – competing in San Diego, no scholarships, etc. He has turned it into a baseball powerhouse. He has done so much for his alma mater. It's pretty remarkable. He turned it into an unbelievable place to play and it was a lot of fun. I could talk about him for days. He's a friend, he's supportive and it's great for Santa Clara. I am excited for him and his new coaching opportunity."

Geology of the Alps
Geology of the Alps
ISBN: 978-1-118-70811-8 April 2014 Wiley-Blackwell 392 Pages
Download Product Flyer
The Alps, with their outstanding outcrop conditions, represent a superb natural laboratory for many geological processes, and have played a crucial role in the history of geology. This book gives an up-to-date and holistic overview of the key aspects of Alpine geology.
After a brief presentation of the plate tectonic framework, the rock suites are discussed, starting with the pre-Triassic crystalline basement, followed by Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Cenozoic sedimentary sequences. The lithological description of the rock types is supplemented by a discussion of their paleogeographic and plate tectonic contexts.
The book goes on to describe the structure of the Alps (including the Jura Mountains and the Alpine foreland to the north and south) illustrated by numerous cross-sections. The evolution of the Alps as a mountain chain incorporates a discussion of the Alpine metamorphic history and a compilation of orogenic timetables. The final sections cover the evolution of Alpine drainage patterns and the region's glacial history.
Readership: The book is essential reading for students and lecturers on Alpine courses and excursions, and all earth-scientists interested in the geology of the region.

10 Good Ways to Respond When Your Child Says They Hate You
When a child utters the words, "I hate you" to their parents, it's usually because they think there is no other way to express their extreme displeasure with their parents or because they're trying to regain control by saying the worst thing they can think of. There few things that hurt a parent as much as hearing those three little words from the people they care about the most. Whether your child is a grade-schooler or a teenager, here are 10 things to keep in mind when your child throws those vicious words your way.
- Stay Calm – All too often, older kids who do understand the impact of the word "hate" simply use it as a guaranteed means of getting an emotional response from a parent. Instead of becoming angry or visibly upset, try to stay calm. Showing the response that they're looking for only serves to reinforce their idea that using such a hurtful phrase is an effective way to win an argument.
- Don't Give In – An extreme show of anger from a child, especially one powerful enough to produce proclamations of hatred, can often be enough to send parents backpedaling. Though the words are hurtful, they can be seen as a sign that you're doing your job, making difficult and unpopular decisions for your child's benefit rather than pandering to their short-term desires.
- Don't Increase Punishments – Increasing a punishment after your child claims to hate you, even if your demeanor is outwardly calm, still proves to them that their words have had a marked effect on you. Keep punishments consistent, rather than upping the ante.
- Don't Undermine Your Child – Though you might be tempted to tell your child that you know that they don't hate you, it's important to understand that this only undermines them; avoid telling your children how they feel, and instead focus on helping them to express it more constructively on their own.
- Don't Argue – An argument or shouting match with your child is almost always completely counterproductive. No matter how much your child says they hate you, it's important to stand your ground and refuse to be drawn into a debate.
- Explain How They Can Influence the Outcome of the Situation – If your child screams that they hate you when they're visibly frustrated about something else, help them to feel as if they have power over the situation by explaining to them what they can do to influence the situation's outcome. Saying things like, "When you calm down, we can talk about this rationally," helps him or her to understand exactly what they can do to affect the situation.
- Give Them Time to Cool Off – Trying to have a discussion about the causes of your child's anger while he's still in the throes of a temper tantrum will not yield any results. It's best to allow them a cooling off period, and to approach the conversation when you're both less emotional.
- Talk About the Importance of Using Accurate Words – Smaller children sometimes need parents to explain to them the importance of carefully choosing their words, rather than speaking thoughtlessly and saying something hurtful and untrue.
- Watch Your Own Usage – When kids hear their parents casually use the word "hate" to describe their own feelings, they don't get an accurate grasp of how serious the word actually is. Pay attention to your own use of the word, and avoid using it as much as possible.
- Treat it as a Learning Experience For Both of You – While your child is learning about the importance of choosing their words and how those words can affect people, you can be learning about their individual needs and their budding personality.
Young children often have trouble verbalizing frustration, and may lash out simply because that frustration is compounded by an inability to express what they're feeling. Helping your child to put their feelings into words without telling them how they feel might be a good way to curb some of that anger in the heat of the moment.← 10 Concerns About Putting Kids on a Diet to Consider | How to Get Your Child to Eat Vegetables Without Complaining →
One Response to 10 Good Ways to Respond When Your Child Says They Hate You
Thank you for this great advice. I remember the first time my teen daughter uttered those words and how devastating that was. I knew she did not truly mean it but the pain was there nonetheless. I had somehow thought I'd be spared because we've always had such a loving relationship. But I realized right away that her lashing out is a response to feeling completely overwhelmed and stuck where she does not want to me. Your suggestions are wise and will help us all keep our sanity! Thank you!

Paramount Pictures and Google have started taking submissions for a "time capsule" short film documentary inspired by Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar."
The studio and Internet giant are asking fans of the film to share memories and highlights of their "life on earth" to help "preserve the past." Filmmakers David Brodie and Angus Wall will turn selected submissions into a film that Nolan will curate.
"Let's give future generations a way to remember where they came from," actress Anne Hathaway, who plays Brand in the film, said in the time-capsule project's promotional introduction video.
"What are the moments that best represent mankind's time on earth?" Matthew McConaughey, who plays Cooper, echoed in the video. "Tell us. Show us. Inspire us."
The project is part of the film's innovative marketing campaign, which launched in October. The campaign brings Nolan's film and Google platforms together for one immersive experience: the "Interstellar Space Hub."
Using platforms such as Google+, Google Play, YouTube and Google for Education, the Hub allows users to immerse themselves in the Nolan film, which opened in wide release on Nov. 7.
The three-hour film follows Cooper, an engineer and pilot who has been called upon to lead an expedition through a wormhole to find a hospitable new planet for humanity because Earth is turning into a giant dust bowl. His costars include Michael Caine, Jessica Chastain, Hathaway, Wes Bentley and David Oyelowo.
Upon entering the Hub, users are told they can start their own "space hunt" by clicking around the galaxy. As users click on stars and various other clues, they can unlock new movie-related factoids.
In addition to the space hunt, users can look up show times, learn more about different film platforms (70mm, 35mm, 70mm Imax, digital motion picture viewing), purchase tickets and partake in Google+ Hangouts.
Memories for the time capsule can be submitted on the Hub's website through Dec. 15.

Antiplatelet medicines, including aspirin, prevent blood clots from forming in your arteries. This can prevent a heart attack or stroke.
Antiplatelet medicines help lower the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Antiplatelets may be used by people who:1
Aspirin can help lower your chance of having a
heart attack. It also reduces the chance of a
stroke or a mini-stroke (TIA or transient ischemic attack).2
Antiplatelet medicine also helps lower the risk of a heart attack or stroke in people who have
heart disease or had angioplasty with a stent. This medicine lowers the risk that blood will
clot in the stent and cause a heart attack.3
For some people, clopidogrel does not work as well as it should, because their bodies may not break down the drug properly. Your doctor may do tests, such as a platelet test, to check on your blood clotting to make sure clopidogrel is working for you.3
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have any unusual bleeding, such as:
Call your doctor if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference
for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all
Antiplatelet medicine increases the risk of bleeding. This risk of bleeding is higher in some people.
Do not stop taking your
medicine without talking to your doctor. Make sure you take this medicine,
especially if you have a stent. Antiplatelet medicine lowers the risk that
blood will clot in the stent and cause a heart attack.
Before any surgery or medical or dental procedure, be sure your doctor or dentist knows that you take an antiplatelet. You might need to stop taking your medicine for a short time beforehand.
Be sure your doctors know all of the medicines that you take. This includes prescription medicine, over-the-counter medicine, vitamins, supplements, and herbal remedies.
For other tips on taking this medicine safely, see:
If you
have a high risk of bleeding from taking an antiplatelet, your doctor may
suggest you take a
proton pump inhibitor or a histamine H2 acid reducer. This medicine may help prevent
bleeding in your stomach. If you are taking both aspirin and
an antiplatelet, talk with your doctor about how you can lower your risk of
Your doctor may do tests, such as a platelet test, to check on your blood clotting to make sure clopidogrel is working for you.3
A genetic test might be used to see if you have genes that let your body use clopidogrel. But experts aren't yet sure whether genetic changes keep clopidogrel from preventing a heart attack or stroke.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
For information about taking daily aspirin, see the topic Low-Dose Aspirin Therapy.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments. And call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The manner in which cities and its occupants produce and understand urbanism is the last part of this research on cities. There was also an interest and reference to the projects by John Hejduk in Vladivostok and Riga and how he could speculate on an entire city through singular characters. Strategies of language, narrative, and semiotic totems in architecture were addressed.
In Philadelphia, a city that was reported to have more derelict lots that any other city in the USA, an exploration in re-mapping its urban markers became relevant. Isolating empty sites and applying lessons from Vladivostok gave form to various characters. In a MultiAgent System, these characters were allowed to draw values from location as well as zoning and remake the map to their locations.

An honest and compelling profile
It is believed that a house is as beautiful as the entrance and same point of view goes true with online dating, the individual is as good as the profile. So, it becomes most important to create a profile that is honest, compelling with full correct information. Your profile is the gate to your personality and therefore time and effort should be invested in creating profile, basic things like your views on different topics, your beliefs, likes, dislikes, moral aspects and interests should all be mentioned correctly and precisely. Detailed and knowledgeable profile can make you popular among girls and your want of dating a fitness girl may become a reality in a short time.
Make the first move positively
Once you are connected with someone and are looking forward to chat with them it is highly advisable that you make the first move and use a message that is sweet, polite and a little bit personal at the same time. For this, you can peep into the profile of the girl and look for something that is most unusual and can come with a message that she can relate with and find you interesting at the same time. Once the ice is broken chatting becomes smoother and connection grows deeper and deeper. Once the girl is comfortable with you, exchanging the numbers becomes a formality and how to flirt with a girl over text is the next thing that you start wondering about.

There are many individuals who take the help of online dating sites to get a companion or partner one who is open minded and is ready to live in or indulge in sex before commitment. Having realistic expectation is the right approach and if you are looking forward about how to get a girl to have sex with you then you should be completely open to rejection if the girl is not interested or is apprehensive about such a proposal. You should not over burden yourself with pressure and be in complete ease and make the girl feel comfortable and at ease.
Be prepared to face rejection
Once you are connected with a girl and have formed a connection, it does not necessarily mean that you will end up being in a relationship with the girl. Dating a fitness girl via online platform can have their set of drawbacks and you can face rejection if things do not go accordingly. Online dating websites are available in different types and genres and of late dating between people of cross border, interracial dating and fitness dating has become popular and suitable source of finding match one that is compatible, caring, and have admiration. Online dating is spreading its reach to every corner of the world and the significance of this sort of medium is highlighted by the fact that almost 30 to 40 percent urban matches are made with the help of online dating websites.
