A few minutes of Neo-Geo a day can keep the doctor away. 4 years is 1460 days too long, in my opinion.
Glad you are back in the game. I agree 4 years is way too long for something to be sitting around with an easy fix lol.

The path to marketplace access is paved with necro bumping.
My MVS has run close to perfect since I got it (almost 2 years), but I've had other cabs go down for months before finding time to fix them even with parts on hand. Shit happens.
Unless... You are talking about the fact that necro bumping was already referenced on the thread. In that case: Saw it, figured that this on the first page and fair game.

I already have market access. I posted because I was bored, killing time on the board, clicked a post near the top of a slow section and responded. Defending the honor of the deep recesses of the board isn't really getting you anything here. Be happy someone is active.
It's all good man. I've been a lurker here for a good while, so know this is a rougher neighborhood than my usual haunt (KLOV), but my MVS collection has grown in the last few months and it has passed my other machines in play-time, so I'll likely be around more, but I tend to be active in flurries.

The evidence left after any building fire can often be misleading. Melted copper wires can suggest electrical arcing was at fault, or they can just be casualties of the fire. In either case, arc beading on the wires can reveal whether the fire was electrical in origin. Sometimes when a fire wipes out an entire building and leaves few clues behind, new methods in arc bead examination can be crucial to uncovering the source.
The extensive destruction caused by a recent building fire made it difficult to reconstruct the events that led to the event. In a more limited fire, the area of origin is easier to identify, making it less complicated to pinpoint the source, whether it's electrical-, hot work-, or smoking-related. When you know where the fire began, other clues begin to fall into place. For example, arc beading in the area of origin is suspicious. Elsewhere, it isn't. In most cases, failed insulation and short circuits cause arc beading. Sometimes, however, extreme heat can cause conductors to bead, creating the appearance of arc beading. As a result, determining how the bead formed when the melted copper solidifies can explain a lot about the fire's origin.
If a fire causes a conductor to overheat, the resulting arc bead will trap products of combustion, proving the heated conductor was not the cause of the fire. If the insulation should fail due to a short, products of combustion will not be trapped in the arc bead. However, this does not prove outright the conductor is the cause of the fire. Further analysis using Auger (pronounced "oh-jay") Electron Spectroscopy (AES) will offer a clearer picture of what happened.
At this burned-out facility, the state fire marshal found beaded copper wiring throughout the structure. Therefore, the beads needed to be a focus of any examination.
In the case of complete destruction, the reports from fire personnel and witnesses usually help pinpoint the area of the fire's origin. At this facility, the origin appeared to be the area where the electrical distribution panels were located. Despite the condition of the building, investigators still found several pieces of evidence that led them to believe the fire was electrical-related. Wiring in the ceiling did not appear to have been contained within conduit. An electrical junction box that showed traces of arcing was attached to a charred frame, and conductors were still attached to it. Although the fire was fueled by nearby combustibles, it appeared to have started in the junction box.
The building's insurance company hired our firm to review the fire investigator's work and determine whether the electrical contractor or roofer working in the area was at fault. I obtained the junction box and using AES, tested the arc beads present on the copper conductors still attached to the box.
Like many other metals, copper can absorb the gaseous elements present in the environment when heated. As temperatures increase, gases break down into their respective atoms, making them easier to be absorbed. The hotter the temperatures, the more gases are absorbed. As they cool, electrical arc residues trap the elements present in the environment, taking a "snap shot" of the conditions present at the time of the arcing.
If a fire caused the arcing, the environmental gases — principally carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide — collected in the arc bead should contain significant combustion products. Conversely, if the arc caused the fire, the bead should not contain a noticeable amount of combustion products. An AES analysis identifies the elements present on the surface of an object, but arc beads are usually contaminated after formation by fire suppression activities and handling. As a result, it is necessary to repeatedly etch the surface to obtain an elemental profile with depth.
The surface of the bead we received was contaminated by carbon. However, the metal below the surface was free of carbon or other combustion products, so the arcing must have occurred before the fire started. Our tests confirmed the initial investigator's suspicions — the electrical contractor was at fault. After we reported the findings to our client, the insurance company sued the contractor, which resulted in an out-of-court settlement.
Although it has primarily been successful in determining the cause of several building fires, the AES technique is helpful in ascertaining the cause of fires in aircraft and cars, too. However, it is only useful if the fire investigator finds electrical activity in the area of the fire's origin. In the past, if investigators could not determine the cause of a fire with any certainty, they would blame faulty wiring. However, AES analysis shows only one-third of arc beads show signs of arcing prior to a fire. Forensic analysts hope this new technique will make determining the cause of fires a more accurate science.

gorgeous dress, I´m currenly working on the same pattern, the muslin looks good so far. Please could you tell me, are you wearing a pettycoat underneath? do you think, it´s necessary to make a pettycoat for this dress??? thank you! cris

Hi, Cris:
I do wear a vintage pettycoat, which is very slim on top and very wide at the bottom. Dress looks very good both ways – it is fancier with a pettycoat but makes me looks slimer and more modern without :-)
Happy sewing, send me a link when you finish!

What a spectacular dress. I've just checked the vogue site – Really 4.5 metres? That seems a lot of fabric for one dress. Did it actually use all that?

Good morning, Everystitch: I had 3 7/8 yards of fabric 60" width – only tiny pieces left – it was bearly enough for size 12. However, if you make the dress shorter – you might get away with some less (I spent a few hours trying to findthe layout that works with the length i had…). I made it exactly the lenght of the pattern and hemed good 2 ", it is still pretty long dress….
Good luck, SMcB

Thank you, Krice. I was reluctant to post these pictures because my dress form is a bit too small and dress looks much better on me than on the dress form…Tricky pattern though – dress and yoke only connect at the lower part of the sleeves.

OMG!!! Absolutely gorgeous. I'm so in love with your dress. It's so dazzling and elegant. Spectacular!! I've been thinking about getting this pattern for a long time but I never did I just was not sure but now after seeing your result I think I'm going to buy the pattern right away. Was is it hard to sew? Does the pattern need a lot of fitting?

Go for it! No fitting – i cut size 12 (my measurements just over 12 in waiste and 12 otherwise). It takes A LOT of fabric, be very precise about seam allowances and it should come out nicely (patterns are on sale until Friday!!!).

Shih Tzu keeps vomitting??
Our 9 yr old Shihtzu (female) has been Vomitting clear foamy liquid frequently since last thursday. We have taken her to the vet, and they did a full blood panel as well as put "balls" down here so that they could x-ray the passing of the "balls" to rule out obstruction in her intestinal tract. The balls passed normally, the vet said her kidney blood work had improved since last test (early stage of kidney failure was identified months ago). The vet said she does not have some sort of stretching of the esophigus he thought. The vet gave us cisapride to treat gastrol reflux which has now given her diharia and cause her to vomit WAY more often so far. She is now showing no interest in food as well. She is losing weight as well. What should we do from here? We think it might be the K/D food (precription diet) the vet has put her on, and are not going to give her the remaining dose of cisapride as the vomitting and diharia have increase since giving her 0.5mg/ml twice a day.
If she's vomiting and has diarrhea at the same time she's probably getting dehydrated which can be life-threatening, especially in small dogs. Have you told your regular vet about the diarrhea and loss of appetite? Can you call your vet and ask for advice?
If she's lethargic, her gums are very pale, or her skin tents (if you pinch her skin lightly and pull gently and it stays in a peak rather than smoothing back out within a second) then you need to see an emergency vet ASAP.
She needs to be drinking water. If she's not, sometimes mixing in some low sodium broth will make water more tempting. If you have none, you can make some by boiling a piece of chicken in water till the meat falls off the bone. Strain the broth and keep the broth for her water and the meat to tempt her to eat.
If you're not confident of the diagnosis you got, you might want to try a new vet--sometimes fresh eyes see something that was missed initially--but regardless of who you see, your dog should be seen again by a vet as soon as possible.
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
I'm sorry to hear about your shih tuz. When our dogs tummies are empty they will throw up a bile. Have u tried splitting her meals up to feed her smaller meals more often during the day?
I would call your vet to find out what they say, like hazel said.

If you're wondering how and when to get your arms wrapped around animal ID of the electronic kind, Kansas State University (KSU) may have the solution for you. The university will host two Electronic Beef ID Crash Courses this summer.
The programs will be held at the KSU Stocker Unit outside of Manhattan and will include live-animal demonstrations, hands-on use of animal ID equipment, a review of available technologies, and how to budget a system.
KSU Extension beef specialist Dale Blasi, says this summer's programs, each aimed at different audiences, are a follow-up to the KSU Beef ID Academy programs of summer 2004.
The June 21-22 program is aimed at operators of feedyards, sale barns and stocker-grower operations. The July 19-20 program is aimed specifically at cow-calf producers and veterinarians. Space is limited to 100 attendees in each session.

Miranda Lambert Episode of 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit' to Air February 8
Mark your calendars for Feb. 8, Miranda Lambert fans. That's when the singer will make her acting debut on 'Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.' While Lambert has appeared on NBC's 'The Voice,' she did so in a performance capacity, so this is her scripted TV bow.
CMT reported the air date of this much anticipated guest spot. In this particular episode of the popular NBC crime procedural, a wannabe actress is found in Central Park. She is unconscious, has drugs in her system and has been sexually assaulted. Lambert plays an actress who is in danger of being assaulted by a reality show producer. Perhaps there is a connection there.
Lambert's fellow guest stars on this episode include crooner Harry Connick Jr. and actor Michael McKean. McKean will play the sleazy producer harassing Lambert's character.
Will you be tuning in to watch Lambert's acting debut? Perhaps the bigger question is will Lambert's fellow country superstar Taylor Swift be watching? Swift makes no secret of her rampant love of 'Law & Order: SVU' -we're half expecting her to write a song about it- so we're thinking she'll be tuning in and checking out Lambert.

That's the future order for supply chain operations. Today's increasingly complex global operations and new digital technologies are giving rise to a sea of data and the evolution of a smarter, more efficient networked supply model. The modern digital supply network model will be powered by advanced analytics, which will be embedded throughout its entire operation—and without analytics, virtually inoperable.
The pressure is on. Supply chain operations must gear up to adopt a modern digital supply network model enabled with advanced analytical capabilities—and fast.
From supply chain executives to line managers, the drum beat of digital grows louder, with increased internal and external pressure to implement digital technologies in the supply chain.
The adoption of analytics technologies, in particular, has already impacted and will have an increasingly significant impact on organizations' supply chains across a multitude of industries.
The business case for the digital supply chain is evident. From automotive to pharmaceuticals to consumer packaged goods and more, companies are seeing tremendous benefits throughout the supply chain—from more accurate forecasting to reduced logistics costs.
With the volume of structured and unstructured data increasing globally, traditional supply chains that fail to evolve will become increasingly overwhelmed and eventually grind to a halt, or best case scenario, struggle along for a limited and uncertain future.
Digital Supply Network of the Future
More data. More opportunity. More complexity.
Despite increasing supply chain complexities, the data explosion presents many exciting business opportunities to gain deeper insights into market trends and digital consumer behaviors.
As the analytics market evolves, transformational impacts on supply chains are occurring across five key dimensions:
Big data does not equate to good data, and technologies now exist to efficiently capture, integrate, store and leverage supply chain data to gain relevant insights for competitive advantage.
Supply chain analytics offers the capability to enable increased automation efficiencies and business intelligence for facilitating more proactive, effective decision making. Businesses can in turn leverage greater economies of scale while more effectively serving the unique and localized market needs of customers.
Analytics insights can help positively impact top and bottom-line business growth specifically through improvements across the whole supply chain:

Natural Easter Egg Dyeing
More and more people are opting for organic options for just about everything in their lives. So why not extend this to the holidays? Old habits die hard, but why not pass by those egg-dyeing kits (full of chemicals and excessive packaging) at the grocery store and head to the produce section? The dyeing process has a few more steps, but you'll feel better about a healthier choice and surprised at the gorgeous results.
Rosalind Creasy shows us how to dye with beets, blueberries and onion skins. The results reminisce of pretty watercolor paintings.
The sister-team at Big Sis Lil Sis used cranberries, onion skins and purple cabbage for their dyes, but used leaves and flowers as a resist technique that produce stunning results. Each egg is a work of art! This process is a bit more time-consuming but having your kids gather the flowers and leaves is an exciting way for them to participate.
The creative folks at Curbly share this technique that produces beautiful marble effects.
I for one plan on trying these new organic methods this year. As a girl who has used many dying-kits in the past, I'm excited to try something more creative with my kids, and feel good about the materials I'm using.
Happy Dyeing!

Our Response To Arthur Alan Wolk's Threat To Sue Us
from the we-will-not-be-bullied dept
- Wolk dismissed the specific lawsuit we wrote about and immediately refiled it, on August 1st, adding Paul Alan Levy and the organization he works for, Public Citizen, to the lawsuit for Levy's blog post on Wolk's suit. Levy was served on August 2nd.
- Wolk has filed two more lawsuits over this matter, one in New York, against Ted Frank and the Manhattan Institute, and another in California against Reason and its authors and bloggers over these same issues.
- Wolk's Rule 60 Motion was denied. As you may recall, Wolk had filed this motion in an attempt to effectively reopen his original defamation case against Overlawyered, which had been dismissed on the judge's determination that the filing was "time-barred when he
commenced it" and that the case was dismissed "on statute of limitations grounds." However, on Tuesday, the judge rejected the Rule 60 Motion and the original ruling stands. I will quote the new court ruling from Tuesday:
The plaintiff has not convinced the Court that the defendants' change in blogging software, which effectively renamed the files associated with the defendants' online content, constitutes newly discovered evidence that warrants extraordinary relief or that the defendants engaged in fraud or misconduct by not disclosing the change. The Court is skeptical that renaming a computer file and adding additional features to a website would constitute republication of the underlying article where the actual content of the article remained the same and the content was displayed on the same domain (here, Overlawyered.com). However, even assuming that such a change would restart the statute of limitations, the Court finds that the change in file names associated with the change in blogging platforms could have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable diligence and that the extraordinary remedy of Rule 60(b) is not warranted in this case.
- On Wednesday morning, August 3rd (the day after the Rule 60 Motion was denied), we received the following email from Arthur Alan Wolk:
I have read your article about my lawsuit and clearly you didn't read it or don't understand English. I suggest you review Courthouse News Service and then carefully rewrite and republish your article. I do not care what criticism you make but if you are going to defame me you better investigate the facts and be correct or you will be sued.
You relied I believe on an equally erroneous posting by Paul Alan levy which is why he is now sued. Let me be very clear. I believe in the First Amendment but at the same time your abuse of it will not stand without a fight. I gave everyone including Mr. Levy and all the defendants in my lawsuit the opportunity to correctly report what they want and each declined. Fix this lying false and absurdly malicious article or I will sue you.
I filed my original lawsuit on time. The judge was defrauded. The record is clear on that and if you had made even the slightest effort to read the complaint, read the Rule 60 Motion or anything else before running off at the mouth you would have known that. I am giving you the opportunity to correct your site without liability for your libel. Take or leave it ,your choice but suing you for libeling me is mine. Catchy title for your site. tech "dirt". You won't dirty my name without answering in court for it.
Arthur Alan Wolk
We believe, quite strongly, in the First Amendment, and in our right to report factually on news, especially when it concerns public figures and lawsuits of public interest. Stating factual information about court rulings is not defamation. Stating our opinion on such lawsuits is not defamation. We have heard of multiple other bloggers who have decided that they simply will not write anything about Arthur Alan Wolk out of fear of being sued by him. This is, we believe, exactly what Wolk is seeking with these threats and lawsuits. We do not intend to be silenced via such threats.

Advice on getting a good trainer
I took Moses to a potential obedience class. The female muzzeled him with her hands the muzzle on him to big. She repeatedly did this then he bit her never has he done this to anyome before. Now after that she took him by his hind legs, picked him up like he is hanging forced him to the ground then pressed down his front legs and then she put her knee on top of his body while he lay there on the floor yelping. She recommended that I do this all the time when ever he mis behaves. I promptly contacted pet store owner as Moses felt threatened and reacted by her actions. I am no angel either I have made mistakes too. She mentioned that he could not participate in their classes because he is to aggressive he may harm or be harmed by others. Here it is I am totally upset that a person would take a puppy and by the legs suggesting she is proving that she is alpha not him. Now I am in contact with other obedience but I am running out of time he is 5 months old and still not socialized with people nor other dogs. He is good with Harley and is an angel. I am afraid that his time may be up for training. I hate beliving in negative thought process. I believe that there is still help for him I have encountered the wrong people for him. All seem to have a different thought pattern and all claim to be versed in Belgian Malinois.

Basically there's this brilliant course for people aged 17 - 25 with arthritis and it's all free and you get to meet up a few times a year and go on residential weekends. Sometimes it's more about discussing personal growth and feelings and what not and sometimes it's a bit more about fun. This weekend it was an activities weekend up in the north of Scotland in the middle of the mountains.
We did lots of stuff like climbing up rocks in the river and swimming against the current in the FREEZING cold water, skiing (on dry slopes as it would be pretty hard to find snow in august), archery, rock climbing and mountain biking.
Yes.. people with arthritis CAN do all these things, healthy people!! That was the best part of the weekend, seeing everyone achieve so much and push past their limits.
I was totally scared of doing the river stuff because I generally hate being cold and wet. But it was actually great fun, even though swimming against the current was such hard work and I now totally understand how easy it is to drown in a river.
The hard part of the weekend was seeing some of my friends in pain. My best friend is mid flare but came along for the banter anyway, but after a particularly energetic game of baseball he was in quite a bad state. It really upset me seeing others feeling so bad, even though I know it's all part of the process. Still hard to watch though.
But seeing people proud of themselves and clambering up rocks and what not was awesome. Plus the weather was beautiful, which is very unusual for Scotland.

Way to go, Squirrel – glad you had fun! :) LReplyDelete
This is awesome! I really wish I had things like that when I was younger (and now, too!!)! It's such an amazing feeling of achievement to do something physically strenous when you have RA :)ReplyDelete
Yeah it is a really good program, I don't think it runs everywhere in the UK but I think they do it in some parts of England and in Northern Ireland too. Shame that I'll be too old for it in a year! They are thinking of setting up something for 25 to 40 year olds though which would be awesome...we're still so young to deal with all this but there's not much in terms of support for that age group.ReplyDelete
That is great. I would have loved hitting a camp like that when I was younger and healthy! Sounds like you had a good time, with the exception of seeing your friend in pain.ReplyDelete

Setting out of GW2 as well. Not really liking the current gem rate. Nor the way SPvP or WvW currently are. Maybe I'll wait for another expansion as I did for the first GW?

Adding myself to the list of people sitting out as well, though it's likely permanent or at least an extended hiatus for me. I was able to avoid the MMO burnout for a while, but I eventually just got bored of the WvW zerg and the PvE that was very much a grind despite their insistence that it wasn't. Also, and most importantly, the game needed more content at 80 but introducing a new tier of gear, however limited, was not the answer.

I have a bunch of newbie questions about the dungeons:
1. Do item rewards reflect your actual level or are they capped to the maximum level of the dungeon?
2. Since your first time in a dungeon is automatically story mode, do you have to be in a party doing story mode or you can't get in?
3. Er... my laptop has been having a few freezing issues recently so I'm always prepared to crash during a raid. If I do freeze when I reconnect am I kicked out of the dungeon/party?
4. It's... impossible to solo run dungeon, unlike soloing a lower level WoW instance?

1) It reflects your level to a certain extent. If you doing AC at lv 80 , you can get up to 70+ lv item or lv 30+ items.
2) You don't have to be in a party but you wouldn't clear the dungeon.
3) You will still be in the party but out of the dungeon unless they kick you.
4) For all pratical purposes its impossible.

I don't get you people from the higher tiered-WvW servers. It's like watching a bad teen drama. You guys need to not forget that it's a GAME. So many people get so super-serious over WvW then quit or transfer when their server starts losing. Or burn out trying to get a Legendary. Don't be fools and just play. So what if you die a lot? Armor repairs are dirt cheap.
My only complaint recently is that Fractals makes the game feel really grind-y. But they do give good loot, so I do 'em sometimes for the Ecto's and raw mats I can salvage. Good thing about the Fractals is that you don't really need to get Ascended gear unless you run the higher-level Fractals. It won't matter until Ascended armor and weapons come out.... whenever that will be. Then again I shouldn't talk when I have 2 Ascended back items.... I guess that just makes me a hypocrite.
I also made a guild recently just for the hell of it. I'm the only member, but it's interesting to essentially have my own additional 100 bank space. MWAHAHAHA. So far I've gotten up to Rank 2 in everything, plus one Rank 3. Running in WvW groups when everything is continuously back and forth does wonders for my influence.
I just recently tried out a new Warrior sPVP build, which is the classic Mace/Shield + Greatsword tank build. I honestly have no idea why I haven't tried this build before. Needless to say I didn't come up with this build, but got it here: http://guildwars2grandmaster.com/bui...-control-tank/
It works really well, especially if you use either a Knight's Amulet or a Soldier's Amulet, with a Jewel of your choice. I personally use a Soldier's Amulet as it comes default from the vendor for maximum mitigation and HP (my health is 26k+ with this amulet), with enough Power to get by. For Runes I use Runes of the Dolyak for EVEN MORE health and mitigation, plus with 6/6 you get passive health regen, which means you stay up even longer. Sigils you can use whatever you want, but for maximum synergy my Mace and Shield use dual Sigils of Paralyzation (+30% stun duration total), and for my Greatsword I use Sigil of Battle (3 stacks might on weapon switch). My main tactic is either going to be complete lockdown with interrupts and chain stuns and kill them through attrition, or it's going to be rush in, knockdown/stun, swap weapons and hit the enemy with Hundred Blades (Greatsword 2 ability) before they can get up and move out of melee range.
This build isn't necessarily about heavy burst DPS (though I can put out enough to pressure people effectively and kill anything but other tanks), it's about staying alive and locking down enemies with chain stuns, which is very effective solo and absolutely devastating when you're running with a group. So far in sPVP I've noticed I've had trouble killing people... not because I'm dying but because they run away from me. So I just sit on a point and cap it while my team caps the rest of the map. This build has great survivability that only a invisible thief or fully-tanked Guardian can match, but it is surprisingly versatile because of the insane number of interrupts, stuns, and immobilizes you have available.

^Oh your questioning the mindset of hardcore PvPers in a MMO, you should never question the mindset of hardcore PvPers in a MMO
They will always think in how should I put it "odd" ways compared to those that don't really care.
But they hate losing so will do anything and everything in order to gain that win, simple.
And tbh I can't exactly fault them for having that mindset even if it's just a game.
It's when they start being complete arseholes that you can start hating on their sorry little rears.
Well I've finally started to get back into the game now after 10 weeks away from it and I'm finally starting to get some of the gear I've wanted.
Joining a guild can make all the difference in how much more fun and enjoyable the game becomes

Hardcore PvPers, as a rule, don't enjoy losing, but they certainly aren't the type of player to change servers, quit, etc, just to find ways to stop losing. They stop losing by winning, without gaming the system or looking for an easy way out.
They also make up a far, far, faaaaaaaaaar, smaller percent of the playerbase than I think most people think. I've been hardcore pvping in "MMOs" since the text-based MUD days (one MUD I put over 5k hours into, 95% based on killing other players, with over 10k kills, in an era where there were no "battlegrounds", etc, and you worked for every single kill), and I can count on maybe four hands the people I've personally met with this mindset over the last twenty years. Who don't enjoy losing, but are also not bothered by it-other than for it to serve as a motivational tool-one bit. Who fully understand it's just a game, so you don't have to treat dying like in real life (players who do whatever they can to avoid death crack me up, btw).
Now, there ARE a lot of players who profess to be "PvPers", who are in reality simply people with short attention spans looking for a quick ego boost through winning a virtual game. They abhor losing, and don't really have a real competitive bone in their entire body, because it's not about overcoming your opponent, but getting that quick fix of ego, akin to a crack addict. They look for every way they can to game the system. These are the guys in Vanilla WoW who rolled the underpopulated faction for faster BG queue times, then afked out of any game that pit them up against another pre-made, while only playing in a pre-made themselves, so they could wrack up as many quick wins over hapless pugs as possible. They're the ones who turned what was once the #1 server in the world to a bottom-feeder in GW2. Who, when faced with even a whiff of adversity, look for an easy way out.
They apparently never grew up playing sports of any kind, as they lack any of the qualities one hopes one's children cultivate playing youth sports.
There's a clear difference, and for years, I've hated that that vast pool of players who fit into that category are even considered PvPers at all, as it just warps the whole dialog and design intents surrounding MMO PvP.
As for GW2, I'm also taking a break, as both the spvp and WvWvW (especially the WvWvW) has grown stale. I never liked the completely anonymous nature of WvWvW. I like my pvp personal. Even online shooters are more personal than GW2's pvp. I dislike completely separating my characters between PvE, WvWvW, and sPvP. Again, there's nothing personal about it. Part of playing MMOs is the barbie-effect, and that's nearly completely absent for pvpers.
I'm not necessarily against zergs. I think they can potentially make for great moments. Those 36 hour stand-offs in Alterac Valley during WoW's vanilla days are probably some of my fondest pvp moments ever. But, those moments were great because they were so personal. While I've taken a small measure of server pride in my server, I can't say I have a single truly memorable event that stands out from WvWvW.
It's hard for me to care, week in, and week out, when I'm fighting nameless characters who may as well just be NPCs. Who all look exactly alike.
Ironically, I think it'd be far easier for GW 2 to flesh out its pve game, and actually think pvp is the weaker of the two aspects in the game's current state.

I agree with you, creb. For the most part.
I am not really overly competitive, but I do occasionally drop in sPVP in order to test out builds. Sometimes they don't go so well, but in some ways those times are the most helpful to tell me what is bad about a particular spec.
I do enjoy WvW for what it is. That is, the opportunity to participate in large-scale battles of 30+ players you can't really find in very many other MMOs. While I also thought it was weird how players weren't named, I think that it's in some ways more important to know what their server is than their username... you most probably will never see them again anyway. If you saw their name you wouldn't be able to tell at a quick glance which server they were from, therefore it would be hard to tell your teammates "Blackgate attacking garrison," or similar situations.
I'm the first to admit that I'm no expert on WvW strategy aside from the basic "whoever has supplies wins" and "don't take supplies from upgrading keeps", but knowing the opponent's character name seems really low on the list of things I need to know. What I do need to know is what server they're from, if they're part of a large guild zerg, and how many of them there are (and if they have a mesmer or not). And in a large zerg which happens more often than not, you would not (nor should you) be able to take the time to read each person's name anyway.
The times that do get up-close and personal are in sPVP and tournaments. And then it DOES matter who you're facing. I haven't done any tourneys yet because I don't belong to a sPVP guild but I would bet that people in the highest skill levels would know each other fairly well; in which case knowing their name is probably ultra important so you know what you're running into.

I don't have much time to play the game.
So for a "casual player" the only things who bother me so much is the rare items droprate or materials for crafting , the gold are hard to get too.
Crafting Exotic stuff are such a pain in the ass specially weapons (45 destroyers lodestones really..) so i can forget Legendary weapons & Ascended stuff.
If you got moneys this is easier to get.
Well i managed to craft my Exotic Explorer's gears , for the weapons i'll take the rare one.

Has anyone done the winterday dungeon yet? Was just about to go try the grove one.
Just finished it, I haven't done any other dungeons but it was just a chain of events in a big room. Very easy all around, never got close to dying. Got an exotic sword out of it, annoying since I bought one yesterday but oh well it's better than what I had.

Started playing again and got to level 45. Was getting pwned too much so I swapped out all the mf stuff save 1% mf jewel. Mostly just rely on strawberry tarts.
Right now I have that bloodlust sigil on my necro's staff and a sigil on my weapon switch (2x dagger) that activates might when I switch to it. The other dagger has a 20% to heal on striking. Been putting down some serious hurt and able to heal my minions quickly is pretty awesome.
Also, saw my first Rich Platinum Vein. Tis like item porn.
Winterday is funny. I really like what they've done with it.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Jan. 13 (UPI) -- The Venezuelan government said Sunday President Hugo Chavez, who had cancer surgery last month, was responding favorably to treatment in Cuba.
The state-run Agencia Venezolana de Noticias reported the infection that set in after Chavez's operation in Havana and prevented him from being in Caracas Thursday for his scheduled inauguration to another term in office was now under control.
"Despite his poor health after complex surgery last Dec. 11, in recent days the overall clinical outcome was favorable," Communication and Information Minister Ernesto Villegas said in a statement he read on national radio and television.
"[The] respiratory infection is controlled, although the ... president still requires specific measures for the settlement of respiratory failure.
"The president is aware, in touch with his family, with his political team and the attending physician team, to keep abreast of the information of interest."

Motor control efficiency
Renewed industry focus on energy efficiency and energy costs is prompting plant managers and engineers to take a closer look at integrating efficient technologies such as variable frequency drives and soft starters into their plants. Successfully controlling peak current, which local utilities use to establish charges, can save energy and reduce operational costs.
Historically, VFDs were developed for process control, but energy conservation has become just as important. First-generation VFDs appeared in the 1970s and were only applicable to large horsepower motors. They used silicon-controlled rectifiers and were often unreliable. Second generation VFDs were introduced in the 1980s. They used power transistor technology and were more reliable. However, they were very expensive and had a relatively long switching transition time.
Today's third-generation VFDs use pulse-width modulation technology enabled by insulated-gate bipolar transistors with high switching frequencies. When applied correctly, these drives can cut energy costs by 15% to 50% with partial loads.
Since VFDs allow ac motors to operate at different rotational speeds, they can be used in ventilation systems, pumps, conveyors and machine tool drives. Fan applications include HVAC, cooling towers, VAV, supply and return, exhaust fume hood, make-up air, induced and forced draft and furnace temperature control. Pump applications include chilled water, pressure boosting, cooling tower, wastewater, chiller, irrigation and hydro-storage.
Soft starters
Although VFD applications are extensive, they are not always the best fit for every situation. For example, if high starting current is an issue, consider using a soft starter. Instead of the traditional means of reduced-voltage starting using autotransformers, reactors or resistors, a soft starter uses reduced-voltage and advanced digital technology to protect and control motors.
Since the acceleration and deceleration of the motor to and from full speed are precisely controlled, electronic soft starters reduce mechanical wear and tear. This smooth performance reduces mechanical shock to the driving system, resulting in extended component and motor life along with lower peak energy costs.
New soft starter technology and sophisticated controls prevent pumps from reaching an overpressure condition at the end of the acceleration phase, and enable pumps to suppress water hammering conditions at the stopping phase. Its torque control produces results close to linear speed without tachometer feedback.
Making the choice
Both VFDs and soft starters help plant operators save energy, cut costs and extend the life of their motor-driven assets. When choosing which technology to apply to which application, asking these questions will guide your choice:
- What is the load of your application? If you intend to control variable torque loads such as pumps, consider using VFDs for potential energy savings
- Does the application have a high starting current? If starting current is high, consider using soft starters because they reduce mechanical wear and tear and lower peak energy charges associated with motor loads for pumps, fans, compressors, material handling, blowers, chillers, conveyors and machine tools
- Do you need to control speed during your entire process? If speed control is required instead of start-stop, use VFDs to enhance your process and increase energy savings.
- Increasing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs continue to be high priorities for managers of manufacturing and process plants. Using VFDs and soft starters to control motor-driven assets can contribute significantly to sustaining efficient plant operation.

NSCAA Preseason Top 25 Poll
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Coming off a school record 23 wins, a berth in the national championship game and an ACC title, the Florida State Soccer team will open the 2014 campaign ranked No. 2 as announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America on Wednesday afternoon.
The No. 2 ranking marks the highest preseason ranking registered by the Seminoles in school history as Florida State started the 2013 season ranked third nationally. The ranking also marks the ninth straight year that the Garnet and Gold has earned a spot in the top 10 of the NSCAA's preseason poll. In fact, Florida State has been a fixture in the top 10 of the NSCAA poll now for 30 consecutive weeks.
"It's always an honor to be recognized at the start of the season," Florida State head coach Mark Krikorian said. "Although the No. 2 preseason ranking is flattering, it is where we finish at the end of the year that's important to us."
The Seminoles return nine starters and 14 letterwinners from last year's squad that finished the season ranked No. 2.
"All of us are excited for the upcoming season," added Krikorian. "We are all looking forward to the preseason workouts and to get things started on August 22 when we play Portland at home in front of our amazing fans."
With seven College Cup appearances since 2003, Florida State is one of only two programs in the nation to play in soccer's version of the 'Final Four' seven times in the last 11 years. Since 2000, the Seminoles have made 14 straight trips to the NCAA Tournament, played in 12 'Sweet 16's' and advanced to the quarterfinal round nine years in a row – the longest active streak in the nation.
The Seminoles are one of eight ACC schools ranked in the preseason poll and one of four ranked in the top 10. FSU will face seven teams in 2014 that are positioned inside the preseason top 25 including Virginia (No. 3), North Carolina (No. 4), Virginia Tech (No. 5), Florida (No. 8), Portland (No. 11), Duke (No. 18) and Boston College (No. 19).
This year marks the 20th season of the Florida State Soccer program which opens the 2014 campaign against the Portland Pilots on August 22 at 7:00 p.m. in Tallahassee.
Stay tuned to Seminoles.com for all your Florida State Soccer coverage throughout the fall. As always Seminole fans can follow the Noles on twitter @FSU_Soccer and remember to like the Seminoles on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FSUSoccer) and Instagram (NoleSoccer).

Spotted, last night at Soldier Field, a couple whose love is built on a foundation of middling former Bears running backs.
Tipster Michael writes in,
From the Bears/Bills preseason game last night. The ungodly confluence of a guy in an Anthony Thomas Jersey walking next to a woman in a Thomas Jones jersey. It is...THOMAS_JONES.
They musta done their jersey shopping at the dollar store. Seriously.
You guys realize Matt Forte is good, right? Nothing wrong with a Matt Forte jersey.
Thank you for your continued support of Jim Beam Devil's Cut Comedyspin. Tomorrow's a whole new week. Get ready—it's gonna be a good one.

I went three for four in my predictions on Thursday, which I'll take every day of the week. Let's see if we can't go perfect today.
No. 12 Arizona vs. No. 1 Louisville
The Wildcats qualify as a Cinderella this year, though its a pretty big stretch to call Arizona an underdog. This "Cinderella" has three potential NBA players in Jordan Hill, Chase Budinger and Nic Wise and have the longest streak of consecutive tournaments made at 25. Many people rued Arizona's inclusion into the field this year, but they seem to have risen to the challenge.
Can Arizona keep its roll on. The Cardinals have struggled a bit in the tournament, taking more than a half to break away from play-in game winner Morehead State and having to fend off Siena late. Louisville hasn't played its best, but its depth and athleticism will get it through to Sunday.
Pick: Louisville
No. 3 Kansas vs. No. 2 Michigan State
This is a rematch of a January matchup in East Lansing won convincingly by the Spartans. It might be harder for Michigan State this time around, as the defending champion Jayhawks looked impressive in outscoring North Dakota State and subduing Dayton. Sophomore center Cole Aldrich has been dominant thus far, though he'll be matched up with a Michigan State team with a lot of big men, though only Goran Suton is a scoring threat.
The big key to the game is how Kansas handles the penetration of Kalin Lucas and if Michigan State can get production from athletic wings Raymar Morgan, Durrell Summers and Chris Allen. That happens, the Spartans cruise. If not, MSU struggles like it did against USC. I think Sparty has enough to move on.
Pick: Michigan State

With the passing of Senator Arlen Specter, I was reminded of the "magic bullet theory" he devised while working for the Warren Commission investigating the assassination of President Kennedy. I couldn't help but see a parallel to Mitt Romney's singular solution to all the country's problems – more tax cuts for the 1%. He believes that cutting tax rates that benefit the wealthy disproportionately and rolling back regulations that President Obama put on Wall Street after the 2008 crash, will somehow fix everything.
Just forget about Bush's tax cuts in 2001 & 2003 that added $3 trillion dollars to the national debt and ignore the fact that in the years after those tax cuts, America lost 8 million jobs during the Bush recession, which was handed to our newly elected president. And of course, you should also forget that the Republican leaders, including Paul Ryan, met on President Obama's inauguration day to plot complete obstruction of the new president for political reasons.
Let's call Romney's one point plan what it is, TRICKLE DOWN ECONOMICS. The belief that if we just coddle the rich, they will, in their benevolence, share the wealth with the rest of us by supposedly creating jobs. Just ignore that new Jaguar they are driving, or the 4th home in the Hamptons or the Rolex watch that is weighing down their Bermuda tanned arms. It will trickle. Really!
The concept of supply-side economics has been thoroughly tested and thrown on the trash pile. We only have to look at Mitt Romney's personal history to see a perfect example of how giving even more to those who don't need it, won't do a damn thing for the rest of us. Where is Mitt Romney's money at? IN THE FUCKING CAYMAN ISLANDS, BERMUDA AND IN SWISS BANK ACCOUNTS. Do you think that money will ever trickle down to you?
Mitt Romney is a walking example of how greed and selfishness only creates more greed and selfishness.
Businesses don't create jobs unless there is a demand for their products or services. It would be fucking stupid to do it otherwise. It's why they do market analysis and studies to determine whether there is demand. When there is demand, businesses expand and create jobs. No demand, no reason to expand. Any business person who says they will create jobs if we just give them more disposable income is applying Romney's "greed is good" principle and probably has an eye on a new car or vacation home.
If the government were to invest in rebuilding our infrastructure – roads, bridges, schools, railroads and other foundations of our country that we all rely on – real people will get those jobs like construction workers, teachers, contractors, firefighters, suppliers of the materials for the projects and many more businesses that support those industries. And when those people receive their paychecks, they will create demand for products and services and give a reason for the 1% to actually invest in new jobs. We don't have to rely on their benevolence, they will do it because it makes business sense.
Here is an analysis that shows the difference between the effects of spending versus tax cuts.
The most widely cited studies include those by the Congressional Budget Office, economists Alan Blinder and Mark Zandi, and economists James Feyrer and Bruce Sacerdote. These reports find a range of values for each program. In these studies, the "bang for the buck" value—what economists call the "multiplier," or how many dollars of economic activity is fueled by one dollar spent—for overall social protection ranges from 0.8 to 2.31. Separately, Blinder and Zandi report a value of 1.61 for unemployment insurance and 1.74 for food stamps.[2]
Research by Urban Institute economist Wayne Vroman estimates that one dollar spent on unemployment insurance fuels between 1.7 and 2.1 dollars of activity in the overall economy.[3] According to these studies, the value for a dollar of spending on infrastructure ranges from 1 to 2.5, while the value for aid to state and local governments ranges from 0.7 to 1.8.
The analyses value middle-class tax cuts, such as the Making Work Pay tax credit that gave tax credits of $400 ($800 for couples), as generating between 0.6 and 1.5 dollars of additional economic activity; the value of extending the Alternative Minimum Tax patch for high-income earners for an additional year ranges from 0.2 to 0.6 dollars of additional activity. And the analyses value the extension of the housing tax credit for first-time homebuyers, providing credits up to $8000, in the Recovery Act from 0.3 to 0.9.[4]
As you can see, putting money in the hands of consumers who will spend that money does a lot more to spur economic activity. Handing money over to the rich and hoping they create jobs with it is just plain stupid.
President Obama has been working hard to pass legislation like the American Jobs Act that would create an estimated 1.9 million jobs, but the obstructionist Republican party isn't interested in creating jobs while President Obama is in office. They should be shown the door on November 6 for letting petty politics keep America from recovering from the mess that the GOP congress and President Bush created in the first place.
There is an easy solution, vote Democratic across the board and send a message to the Republicans that American workers are more important than politics.

You're probably wondering why this DP3M doesn't look anything like the press release photos – my friend attached a RRS grip and plate to it, and rightly so; without it, the camera is not very comfortable to hold.
I eventually caved to both pressure and curiosity, and borrowed the Sigma DP3M from master printer and good friend Wesley Wong – who has the DP Merrill in all three flavors. In case you've been living under a rock for the last few years, Sigma has been going their own way with the DP series of large sensor compacts; all of their cameras now share the same 14.7 MP (effective) three-layered Foveon sensor, with a 4.99 micron pixel pitch and true color/ true resolution information across all photosites. In a nutshell, the difference between Foveon and Bayer sensors is that the former records actual RGB values for each pixel, but the latter only records R, G or B, interpolating the other values from neighboring photosites. It's difficult to determine precisely just how much resolution loss Bayer interpolation causes, but in my experience it seems to be around 50% or so. Sigma claims that the camera has the equivalent of 46MP (being 15.3 total MP x3 layers) – but this is really pushing it; images upsampled this far simply do not have the pixel-level 'bite' of a good Bayer file.

Tahoe RCD's Conservation Landscape Tour to feature Lake Tahoe's West Shore
August 16, 2012
TAHOMA, Calif. – Nine beautiful West Shore gardens and educational talks on conservation landscaping topics highlight the fifth annual Conservation Landscape Tour, one of the signature events produced by the sustainable landscaping experts with the Tahoe Resource Conservation District. Maps for the tour can be picked up on Sunday, Aug. 19, 1-3 p.m. at the corner of Wilson and Pine Streets in Tahoma.
"Last year's Conservation Landscape Tour attracted more than 150 people, and we look forward to seeing even more locals, second homeowners and visitors at this year's event," said Courtney Walker, conservation planner with the Tahoe Resource Conservation District. "We have great presenters and some stunning properties to visit, as well as light refreshments and entertainment to cap off the tour in style."
This year's tour features an array of different properties in the Tahoma area, with presentations focusing on a wide variety of important topics for gardeners in the Lake Tahoe Basin. One such talk focuses on integrating erosion control best management practices (BMPs) into fire-safe landscapes, a challenge for many Tahoe homeowners. Other presentations include low-water turf options at a lakefront home, gardening techniques and plant selection to attract native wildlife with master gardener Kathy Maston and Will Richardson of the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science, as well as a native plant talk with Lesley Higgins.
The Conservation Landscape Tour will be held 1-5 p.m. in Tahoma and is free for attendees of all ages, although donations are graciously accepted and will go toward future events and environmental education programs in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Donations can be made in person or by visiting TahoeRCD.org. Please leave pets at home.
About the Tahoe Resource Conservation District
The Tahoe RCD's mission is to promote the conservation and improvement of the Lake Tahoe Basin's soil, water, and related natural resources by providing leadership, information, programs, and technical assistance to all land managers, owners, organizations, and residents. The Tahoe RCD is a non-regulatory public agency. Funded primarily through grants and private donations, Tahoe RCD works with a variety of partner agencies to implement programs and outreach, which currently focus on erosion control, runoff infiltration, terrestrial and aquatic invasive species control and prevention, and conservation landscaping.

Filipino rebels form party as they end rebellion
MANILA, Philippines (AP) — The largest Muslim rebel group in the Philippines said Tuesday it had formed a political party as it turns away from a decades-long rebellion after signing a peace pact with the government.
Mohagher Iqbal of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front said his rebel group's new political group, the United Bangsamoro Justice Party, would be a springboard to contesting the leadership of a more powerful Muslim autonomous region to be established in the south of the largely Catholic Philippines.
The rebels signed an autonomy deal with the government on March 27 to end years of fighting that has killed tens of thousands and held back progress in resource-rich but poverty-wracked southern regions that have been the homeland of minority Muslim Filipinos. The agreement was welcomed by the United States and other governments, which fear that remote Muslim rebel strongholds could breed al-Qaida-inspired extremists.
The 11,000-strong Moro rebel group, Iqbal said, would eventually be transformed into a social movement that would help call for good governance and the rebuilding of former battlefields into vibrant communities with adequate schools, hospitals and public infrastructure.
"We can continue the struggle but no longer with arms," Iqbal told The Associated Press by telephone from the south.
Under the peace accord, called the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front agreed to gradually disband their guerrilla force and drop a demand for a separate Islamic homeland in exchange for broader autonomy. An existing five-province Muslim autonomous region is to be replaced by a more powerful, better-funded and potentially larger region to be called Bangsamoro.
Bangsamoro is the term used by the rebels to refer to Muslims as well as other ethnic groups in the southern Philippines.
The new Muslim autonomous region is expected to be launched in 2016 after Congress passes legislation creating it. Iqbal's group said it was too early for it to draft candidates for the planned a 50-member parliament to be led by a chief minister.
Iqbal said the guerrillas will compete only in Muslim autonomous regional elections and not regular Philippine elections. The party still needs to be approved by Manila's Commission on Elections.
Despite the peace deal, at least four smaller armed Islamic groups have vowed to keep fighting the government, including the Abu Sayyaf, a Muslim extremist network with international links that Philippine troops have been battling with U.S. military support.

One more Stories fave.
An ode to his Scattante.
Read this from Charlie:
To love, Scattante
When my bicycle swears that she is made of carbon, I do believe her, though I know she lies.
That she might think me some novice cyclist, Unlearned in the sport's false subtleties, Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young.
Although she knows my riding days are past the best, I simply credit her false speaking saddle.
On both pedals thus is simple truth supress'd, But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say not I that I am old?
Oh!, cycling's best habit is in seeming trust, And age in cyclists not to have years told.
Therefore I hope to race with her and she with me, And with this Scattante, my kit complete'd be.

Lori Hudson, a fourth grade teacher at Phillip C. Showell Elementary, has been named the Indian River School District's teacher of the year.
Lori Hudson, a fourth grade teacher at Phillip C. Showell Elementary, has been named the Indian River School District's teacher of the year for 2013-2014.
The announcement was made at the district's annual Teacher of the Year ceremony on April 18 at Sussex Central High School. Hudson was chosen as the district's overall winner from a pool of 15 candidates, one from each school.
Hudson has been a teacher in the Indian River School District for 19 years. She has spent the last three years teaching fourth grade at Phillip C. Showell Elementary School. Prior to joining the Phillip C. Showell staff, she spent 10 years as a mathematics and special education teacher at Selbyville Middle School, five years as a special education teacher at Sussex Central Middle School and one year as a special education teacher at East Millsboro Elementary School.
A Nationally Board Certified Teacher, Hudson holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Wilmington University. She is a member of Phillip C. Showell's school improvement team and is the school's lead social studies teacher. She has also served as a SMART technology trainer and as the chair of several educational book talks for PCS staff.
"Mrs. Hudson does her best to live life to the fullest with no regrets. When she believes in something, she goes for it and does what she can to make it happen," said Phillip C. Showell Elementary School Principal Laura Schneider. "She is passionate in all she says and does, and has a great love for the students in her classroom. Her sincere educational goal is to inspire her students to believe in themselves so they can reach true levels of greatness."
As the district's Teacher of the Year, Hudson is now eligible for the state Teacher of the Year Award, which will be announced on October 29.
For complete coverage, see next week's issue of The Sussex Countian. A photo gallery from tonight's event will be posted on Friday.

Kings advance to second round with 2-1 winby Curtis Zupke
LOS ANGELES -- Perhaps only Dustin Penner could provide poetic justice to this pound-for-pound tug-of-war.
Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter complained almost all season long about the lack of production from his left wings, and Penner was among the guilty parties with 11 healthy scratches next to his name. Then Penner made sense of the Western Conference Quarterfinal series Friday night with an eye-opening, series-clinching goal for a 2-1 win against the St. Louis Blues in Game 6 on Friday night.
Penner scored on a 60-foot slap shot with 0.2 seconds remaining in the second period that moved the defending Stanley Cup champions into the conference semifinals. Down 2-0 in the series, L.A. swept the next four and recorded its 10th win in a row at home.
"It's kind of like a sweep, I guess," Penner said. "It's definitely a relief. They played a great series. They got unlucky a few times and I think we got lucky. It was a great series."
St. Louis lost a Stanley Cup Playoff series for the first time in 11 tries after taking a 2-0 lead. It fell to 0-8 in its past eight elimination games, dating to April 23, 2000. It was the second straight year that the lower-seeded Kings eliminated the Blues.
"It's getting to be a broken record, but we still didn't get the job done," St. Louis captain David Backes said. "It's about winning four games to win a series. Up 2-0 and to lose four straight is pretty sour right now."
This fell in line with arguably the most closely-contested series of the postseason. Every game was decided by one goal and few penalties were handed out. The teams combined for 479 hits. They played six grueling games in 11 days.
"It was good battles and good hits and hard hits," L.A. center Anze Kopitar said. "I guess when it's all said and done you shake the guy's hand and it means a lot. Even if you don't say a whole lot, there's still some respect."
Sutter talked about the grind of the series and climbing out of the 2-0 hole.
"It's not easy," Sutter said. "There was a lot of pressure on our players. I've said all year, they've handled it really well. They had a tough hole, this series."
Asked how good his team is, Sutter said, ""We're beat up and tired and we'll practice on Sunday and know by Monday who we'll play."
Just when it seemed like the teams would go to their dressing rooms tied 1-1 after 40 minutes, Penner brought Staples Center to life. He got the puck in the neutral zone, skated down left wing and let go a slap shot a stride inside the blue line. The puck appeared to skip off Roman Polak and went past Brian Elliott an instant before the horn.
"I think it hit my skate," Polak said. "I should just let it go. I should just probably let it go for Ells to see. It was like two seconds left in the period. It was a bad play by me."
Penner said his teammates were yelling at him from the bench with the clock winding down, and added that his college coach once told him to shoot it in stride to catch the goalie off. This wasn't quite in stride but Penner put in his unique way.
"I put everything into it – all 242.5 pounds," Penner said. "It may have deflected off a shaft. It was going pretty hard."
Elliott faced 16 shots on the night, just three in the final period. Ultimately, he couldn't match Jonathan Quick, who stopped 167 of 177 shots for a .944 save percentage for the series. Quick has 24 postseason wins, two shy of the club record held by Kelly Hrudey.
Elliott talked to a small group of reporters afterward about the one that got away, or behind him.
"I saw it come off because it was going low first, but what can you say?" Elliott said. "You can't put blame on [Polak] for trying to get in front of a puck. We're all trying to do our best out there. Obviously he's frustrated, we're all frustrated that had to be the one we couldn't get back."
Chris Porter made it 1-1 with his first career playoff goal, although he never got his stick on the puck. Backes got the puck out from his feet and fed Polak at the right point, and the defenseman ripped a shot that bounced off Porter's side and into the goal at 4:39 of the second period.
Polak made up for the Kings' first goal. Drew Doughty highlighted a slow-starting opening period with a fake-slap wrist shot from the left side in which Polak backed up while defending him. Doughty beat Elliott to the short side at 12:37. Dwight King sprung a rush up ice to Colin Fraser, who dropped a pass to Doughty just inside the blue line.
"He made a great move," Polak said. "He kind of stopped me there on the move. He made it look like he was going to shoot a slapper. He waited and shot it strong side. It was a pretty good shot. It was a good play."
It was Doughty's first postseason goal since Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final last June.
St. Louis nearly evened it when Stewart clanged a shot off the left post with about five minutes left in the period.
Los Angeles scratched wing Kyle Clifford. He did not participate with the team at the morning skate and coach Sutter said it was a "maintenance day."
L.A. will play either the rival Anaheim Ducks or San Jose Sharks in the semifinals. Would they prefer home-ice advantage against the Sharks or going down the freeway for the first ever Ducks-Kings series?
"You just can't say," Quick said. "Either way it's going to be a great series."
