Hotel Info:
We stayed in a suite at the Holiday Inn on Dexter Ave in Seattle for one night pre-cruise. It was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had a nice view of the city skyscrapers at night. We ate next door at the Emerald Cafe, which had excellent food at reasonable prices.
After the cruise, we stayed 1 night at the Crowne Plaza on 6th Ave. They upgraded us to a suite on the 34th floor, which is key card access only. The view of the city skyscrapers, the Space Needle, and Puget Sound was fantastic! We watched the most spectacular sunset we've ever seen right from our hotel window! The room itself was not what I would call a suite by Crowne Plaza/ Holiday Inn standards (and we're premier members so stay frequently). It was one room with a bathrrom, not a suite. The bathroom was particularly small compared to most of the chains bathrooms. But the room was very clean and comfortable. However, we were literally right next to a conference room and we were awoken by applause several times after midnight. That was kind of annoying, but I would stay in that room again for the view! We also ordered dinner from room service. The food was very good but very high priced.
Embarkation at Pier 91 was a breeze. We arrived around 11:45am and there was 1 person in front of us to check bags, maybe 5 people ahead of us going through security. There were maybe 20 people in line for check in and sign and sail cards. We went to the suite line and there was no one in line so we walked right through. Our cabin was ready so we went straight there to drop our carry on bags. It took maybe 20 minutes from the time we got off the shuttle at the pier to when we opened our cabin door.
Our Stateroom: SB8147 was a fantastic cabin! There was plenty of room to move around. From photos, I had been a little concerned about space between the foot of the bed and the coffee table. I'm quite night blind and I was afraid if there wasn't enough space, I might trip over the coffee table. There was plenty of room though. We had more then enough closet space and drawer space, with more hangars then we needed...and I hung everything. The vanity area is very nice. Between the counter space in the vanity and the double sink bathroom, I had more space then I needed for all my girly make-up, lotions n potions, and hair appliances etc. There is a blow-dryer provided, but it doesn't have much power. If you have hard to dry hair, it will take awhile. There were also a couple of cabinets in the bathroom. This bathroom has a whirlpool tub/shower combo and a separate shower stall. The shower stall was very small and tight so we just used the shower over the tub. We didn't use the tub for a bath, but the shower worked great. There were binoculars and an umbrella in the room for our use. We had pre-ordered a bottle of vodka and Kahlua for "at sea" delivery and it was in our cabin waiting when we arrived, as well as a small bouquet of fresh flowers and a bottle of Complimentary Pol Clement and some water. The mini fridg was fully stocked with a nice selection of sodas, alcohol, and water. The fruit bowl was empty, but had a little card you checked off what kind of fruit you wanted. We filled it out and left it for our room steward and when we returned, our fruit bowl was full, and was refilled every day.
The balcony was absolutely amazing! I would say at least 5x bigger, probably more, than the standard size balcony. There was a round table with 4 chairs, 2 armed chairs with coffee table and foot stools, and 2 chaise lounges. All looked in excellent repair, with the very minor exception of a couple of cushion that were a little faded. Inconsequential!
The ship: We found the Westerdam do be a beautiful ship in excellent shape. She was very tastefully decorated. I had kind of expected some of the decor to be tacky looking from the photos I had seen. The color combinations in photos (like bright smiley face yellow and deep purple) appeared a little too bold for my taste. However, when you're on the ship, with the proper lighting, it looks very nice. She was also very clean. We didn't use the pools or hot tubs as we were in Alaska, but they appeared clean and in good repair. I really loved the size of this ship. It felt big enough that there was lots to explore, but it never felt crowded and the only lines we saw were when we were waiting to go in to port, and those moved quickly once we were allowed off. The Lido had a few lines, but there were usually only a few people ahead of us and they moved quickly. We did often have to search around for a table in the Lido to eat. There were a lot of people that were just sitting there for hours watching the Alaskan scenery, but not eating. Then in the lounges, there were usually plenty of empty seating right by the windows. It would have been nice if people were a little more conscious about the dining tables being used for dining. We found if we grabbed some flatware from the Lido buffet, we could always find a table by the Lido pool. It was Alaska, so the pool area was mostly empty.
Dining: We found the food good for the most part, but not spectacular.
BREAKFAST - we mostly had room service. The food was good, and timing was great. The night before, we filled out the card with the time frame we wanted - our choices were in 30 minute frames like "7 to 7:30" or 7:30 to 8". It was usually delivered on the earlier side of our selection. We went to the Pinnacle one morning (open to suite guests only), and we just missed it. They stop seating people at 8:45 am, which seemed ridiculously early on a sea day for people on vacation. But Oh well. I think we just grabbed something in the Lido.
LUNCH: were mostly in port or inthe Lido
DINNER: we tried the different venues. We ate once in the Pinnacle Grill on our 1st formal night. The food was good, but neither of us were wowed. The service was definitely upscale, but I don't think the food was any better then the other venues. We ate 2x in the MDR, on our 1st night and on our 2nd formal night. Service was great, even on the 1st night. Again, the food was good but not great. Some items were bland and I used a lot of salt trying to draw some flavor out. Otherwise, steaks were cooked to order and food was well-prepared. Most of the desserts were rather bland and disappointing. The cakes all seemed to have a weird wet consistency that we didn't like at all. The chocolate volcano cake with ice cream in the Pinnacle was very good though, and they served a chocolate mousse ganache in the MDR on the 2nd formal night that was to die for. It was very small though lol I should have ordered more lol The ice cream bar in the Lido was always excellent!
The DESSERT EXTRAVAGANZA was on our 5th night. It was a beautiful display, but disappointing to the palate and not worth standing in lines. We each tried 4 or 5 different desserts and only took a small bite of each, leaving the rest. The taste just wasn't worth the extra calories. However, the Neptune Lounge always had snacks and treats that were pretty good. We enjoyed the coffee, both from room service and in the Neptune Lounge. I don't think we got any in the Lido, so can't comment there.
We didn't do a whole lot of activities on board so can't really comment on that. We had such an amazing balcony with fabulous weather for the scenic Alaskan cruising that we spent most of our time relaxing there.
Service: was fantastic everywhere on the ship.
Our room stewards were fantastic. Our room was always kept neat and clean. The laundry service was fantastic. Our first night, we had some pre-cruise laundry, but there were no laundry bags in our room. We left them in a pile on the floor and stopped by the Neptune Lounge on our way to dinner and asked for some to be sent to our room. When we returned to our room, no laundry bags...and no laundry. We never saw laundry bags all week, but each day we left our dirty clothes in a little pile and the laundry fairy visited while we were out and the pile disappeared. They were always returned early the next day cleaned, pressed, and folded neatly. Loved it! We often passed our room stewards in the hallways and they were always smiling and friendly! The whole crew was always smiling and friendly.
We used the Neptune Lounge a few times. They greeted us by name the first time we entered and were always happy to see us. The service was great and they always had tasty snacks and cookies and chocolates available.
Service in the bars and lounges was great. They were friendly and service was prompt. We're not big drinkers, so we really appreciated that once we said no thanks, they didn't keep bothering us. But if we changed our minds, they were right there. **if you're a chocolate lover, try a Frosty Minty Chocolate Buzz. Tastes like a Starbucks minty mocha frappuccino, but definitely packs a punch. I was buzzing off of one, and I'm not usually such a light weight lol I could have drank those all day lol
Entertainment: was kind of hit or miss for us. We really enjoyed the magician and the juggler. Both were very impressive and funny! We enjoyed the cruise director Jason and the DJ Mario. They work very well together and were very entertaining. We enjoyed watching the karaoke contest - there were some great singers in the competition! and we really enjoyed the Battle of the Sexes, the Love and Marriage Game, and Trivia. We did not care for the singing/dancing shows. The music is pre-recorded and we believe lip-synced. They really need to update their music selection. To us, it felt on the level with a high school production and was rather corny. We suffered through the first show, but the 2nd, we deliberately sat towards the back of the balcony so we could make a quick escape if it was bad. We left early. We were also disappointed by the lack of live entertainment. It seemed like the ship shut down between 9 and 10pm. Several times we walked around looking for entertainment and the lounges that were scheduled to have live music were empty. We kept wondering where everyone was. Maybe they were all down in the Casino, Nightclub, Sports Bar, or Piano Bar. The cigarette smoke was pretty thick in those areas and I have asthma so we stayed away from that area. I was disappointed that HAL didn't have more going on in non-smoking areas. If you're looking for a hopping nightlife, it was not on our cruise lol
Our ports and excursions were fantastic!
Glacier Bay was a day of scenic cruising and was absolutely spectacular! It was the BEST day of our cruise and I highly recommend it. It was a beautiful sunny day and we saw both Margerie Glacier and Johns Hopkins. We saw several great calvings at Margerie, but Johns Hopkins was truly spectacular! It calved so much, with 2 separate areas bigger then the ship giving away, sending out waves that were big enough to rock our whole ship. It was incredible!
Disembarkation was a breeze. HAL allows you to stay in your cabin until you disembark. We had room service for breakfast and had a nice leisurely morning one last time on our balcony. It was another beautiful sunny day, but we were so sad to be leaving.
All in all, we had an amazing time! We loved the Westerdam and her crew. Food and entertainment could improve some, esp evening entertainment, but we still had an amazing trip. I would sail the Westerdam again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend her!

Updated Markdown services
A while ago I put together a few OS X services to do various Markdown-ish conversions: Markdown to HTML, HTML to Markdown, and "Copy Markdown as RTF," which would take selected Markdown text and put it on the clipboard as the equivalent rich text.
I've updated these to add the one piece that's clearly missing: "Paste RTF as Markdown," which does what you'd expect from the name—take rich text on the clipboard and paste it into another document as the equivalent Markdown. In addition, I've changed the services to be self-contained, including John Gruber's Markdown and SmartyPants scripts as part of the package.
Lastly, I've added two wrappers for MultiMarkdown to HTML and Copy MultiMarkdown as RTF, which require Fletcher Penney's MultiMarkdown to be installed in
Note that both of the RTF conversions are in the "stupid pet tricks" category, since neither Gruber nor Penney's scripts can actually create true RTF—instead, documents are converted to HTML and the HTML is converted to RTF with Apple's
textutil utility. MultiMarkdown documents you're trying to turn into RTF will likely require some massaging. (That's engineer-speak for "this will mutilate your work.")

Geopolitical Risks Mount
Although we are now beginning to enjoy some degree of synchronized global growth (as measured by the Global Purchasing Managers' Index) with China contributing modestly, the bright news is that the US and parts of Europe are rebounding meaning that global growth in 2014 is likely to accelerate for the first time in four years to 3.5% – constructive news for commodities.
US production of liquid petroleum is surpassing its previous peak reached in 1970 in the latest landmark for the country's shale oil boom, and in sharp contrast to oil production elsewhere, which is constrained by declines in mature areas (such as the North Sea) and political and security issues in countries like Libya, Iraq and Syria.
Geopolitics and weather are omnipresent in the commodities world and both have played a specific role here this year. Russia's annexation of Crimea (and subsequent meddling in eastern Ukraine), and the sudden advances of the Sunni Islamist extremist group ISIS in Iraq are just two instances of the geopolitical storms that regularly engulf the natural resource sector.

Blackberry Cream Soda Recipe
This recipe was inspired by a classic egg cream. We know, we know: The formula for a true egg cream contains no cream at all—just milk—but the tartness of the blackberry syrup requires that cream be used here; anything else will curdle. Feel free to adjust our proportions to make a soda that suits your tastes.
This recipe was featured as part of our Cooking with Summer Ingredients story.
- 1/2 cup Blackberry Syrup
- 1/4 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 cup cold soda water

Each issue carries an
from the
Archdiocese of Cincinnati.
Reprinting prohibited
by Tom Everson
As they bounded into the stadium for the third-round
playoff game, each member of the football team was screaming,
—Redemption, redemption, redemption!— That was the key word
for the challenge they faced.
Earlier in the week the word of the moment was —revenge.— The
team wanted to erase the memories of a 41-7 defeat at the hands
of their playoff opponent during the regular season. It marked
the only loss of the season. Now was the time to get back, to
rub noses in the dirt, to humiliate the rival team.
How did the word revenge change to redemption?
Enter Coach Nizzi, football coach for Boys Town High School in
Nebraska, who didn—t equate victory simply with humiliating
the opposition. No, Jesus had given a far better word to describe
the challenge. That word is —redemption.—
Define, Please!
Redemption is the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus, and
your chance to share in it, no matter what your life circumstances
are. Redemption is offered by God so that you might fulfill
your purpose in life as a Christian.
Redemption means to identify what is scarred, broken and in need
of healing in your life. It means to bring these experiences
to Jesus and to allow him to mold you into a new creation, to
teach you a new way to live.
For the Boys Town football team that night, the experience of
redemption became one of openness. Each member gave his all
while respecting the fact that the opponents also gave their
best. The result? A final score of 15-14.
Who do you think won?
Who—s a Winner?
Who wins and who loses always seems to require scorekeeping.
In the eyes of the people of his time, Jesus was no winner.
Indeed, it looked as if he was beaten down in death. The crucifixion
was the final buzzer.
Jesus had taught over and over that death was never the winner,
that death was not final. Yet, many of his closest friends didn—t
get the message. They gave up, abandoned him, leaving him to
face his greatest opponent alone and in great suffering. They
didn—t understand that the road to redemption would first travel
through suffering to the point of death.
Redemption Happens! Wouldn—t that be a great bumper sticker? Yet,
what would it say to a world that experiences violence in so
many ways?
It would be the rare person who, in searching through the family
tree, would not hear stories of relatives who lie, cheat, steal,
abuse alcohol and other drugs. You may have heard of cousins
who committed acts of violence toward other family members,
maybe even sexual abuse or the inward-turning violence of suicide.
Whenever you uncover the truth about violence in your own life,
and in the lives of family members, you are presented with a
The Old Testament Book of Deuteronomy puts it this way: —I have
set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose
life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving
the Lord, your God, heeding his voice, and holding fast to him—
(30:19-20). Redemption begins when you choose to pursue life
over death.
Pursuing Life
Athletes often use the phrase, —No pain, no gain.— In this context,
it is meant to encourage you to endure the pain of getting in
top physical shape in order to be ready to compete.
This philosophy runs counter to the most basic motivating force
present in the lives of even the youngest human beings. We all
want to move from pain toward pleasure. What good, then, is
Pain lets you know that something is wrong. When you attend to
your pain, you can decide to respond to it so that it will go
away. Simple examples include taking aspirin for a headache
or having your broken bone set. You can address the issue of
pain intelligently.
Pain, however, can multiply. Painful event upon painful event
can add up to a lifetime of suffering. At this point, suffering
differs from pain.
Juanita (a composite of many abused young people) is an example
of a person whose pain has crossed the line into suffering.
Juanita is a victim of sexual abuse within her family. She has
suffered for years. She is filled with questions and doubts:
—Why did this happen to me?— —Why do I hate myself?— —If there
is a God, how could this happen to me?—
Juanita is sexually acting out with just about every boy who pays
any attention to her. She takes drugs to try to escape from
both the physical and emotional pain of her life. How can she
find redemption in the midst of her suffering?
You can find one answer in John—s Gospel: —In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God....What
came to be through him was life, and this life was the light
of the human race; the light shines in the darkness, and the
darkness has not overcome it— (1:1-5).
These words speak the truth about Jesus— very nature—to be the
light in the darkness. As humans, we may be inclined to believe
that Jesus is only attracted to goodness in us, to the light
in our words and deeds. Jesus also comes our way because
we are in the dark.
Jesus— choice to be a light in the darkness is best understood
through the central teaching of the New Testament. This teaching
is about redemption: the passion, death and resurrection of
Jesus and our chance to share in it.
By using Jesus as a model for confronting and
working through our own suffering, we discover a very useful
skill: how to find meaning in suffering. Learning and practicing
this skill is to tap into the real power of the Resurrection.
That power is best expressed in the following equation: Joy
(Resurrection) = Suffering that has been worked through.
This joy is discovered in suffering that has been thoroughly dealt
with, not just dumped. Jesus did not toss the cross from his
shoulder. Rather, he faced it. In doing so, Jesus gave each
of us a new way to look at the purpose of suffering.
Toward the Light
What new purpose does suffering serve? Suffering, in the context
of love, can lead to purification and education (new learning).
Let—s return to Juanita in order to understand this more fully.
One day, Carla (a composite adult guide) steps into Juanita—s
life. She helps her get the proper care that she needs in order
to address her suffering.
Carla commits herself to connecting Juanita with the best available
resources to promote healing and health. This includes spiritual
resources. Carla even commits herself to being a mentor for
Juanita in her struggles.
As a result of Carla—s support, Juanita begins to learn about
God, about real love, about reading the Bible and about a new
way of living. Juanita comes to a point of conversion. This
powerful experience of grace changes her entire way of looking
at life.
Juanita—s understanding of conversion tells her that she is —in
Christ...a new creation— (2 Corinthians 5:17). How does understanding
this help her cope with her suffering?
Quite simply, Juanita—s conversion challenges her to embrace the
truth about her past. She has, in fact, been sexually abused.
She has been a drug abuser. She has engaged in indiscrimate
sexual behavior.
Juanita does not feel good about her past. She does not always
see hope for a positive tomorrow. Still, Jesus invites her to
state these facts, to name these truths, as one important step
on the road to healing.
As Juanita walks this road, she must learn new ways to behave
and to make decisions. She must change her attitude toward other
people if she is to form new relationships built on Christian
When she has honestly faced her past, Juanita must let go of her
old ways. They must die. In this way, she begins to make
some sense of her suffering. It has helped her begin to live
in a new and healthy way.
As Juanita is restored to physical, mental and spiritual health,
she experiences real friendships for the first time. After several
years of hard work learning new ways to relate to young men,
she goes on her first real date. She and her date choose a good
movie. Both watch the movie and enjoy the conversation and meal
afterward. She is dropped off, thanks her date, shakes his hand
and goes inside.
Juanita feels good about herself. She sees concrete changes in
her behavior. She is moving beyond living as a victim. She is
now beginning to live as a redeemed person, a survivor of past
suffering. Juanita has tapped into the healing power of the
Redemption Happens
You may or may not identify directly with Juanita—s experience.
Yet no one—s life is exempt from suffering. Whether it is the
death of a loved one, a tragic accident that leaves you permanently
injured, the divorce of your parents or a broken relationship,
every one of us has suffered and will suffer. How, then, can
you find meaning in suffering?
The key is to ask and search for the answers to two questions:
1. What did I learn from suffering? Did you learn something
meaningful—or something meaningless—from your experience of
2. How does suffering purify me (change me
for the better)?
These questions help you to recognize that there are two distinct
ways to approach suffering; one leads to meaning, the other
to meaninglessness.
Meaningless suffering tends to ignore these two questions. Such
pain is marked by thinking, —Life is unfair,— —I am bad,— —I
am powerless.— You may feel hurt, angry, hopeless, depressed
and unloved. Your behaviors reflect how you think and feel.
You act out violently toward others through words and actions,
or toward yourself by using drugs or attempting suicide.
In contrast, meaningful suffering embraces the opportunity to
answer these questions. Even in your darkest moments you can
find reasons to be hopeful and to recognize that you have power.
You look to the present and the future as opportunities to grow.
You know that you are loved by God. You learn that some family
members, teachers and friends will support you through your
trials. You don—t act out violently or wallow in self-pity.
You even reach out to others.
Discovering meaning in working through suffering models the actions
of Jesus in his passion, death and resurrection. When Jesus
was betrayed by Judas and Peter, he did not strike out at them.
When he was beaten and crowned with thorns, he did not swear
back or fight his tormentors.
On the way to the cross, Jesus accepted help from others. He allowed
Simon to carry his cross with him. He allowed a woman to wipe
his face. Ask yourself: Who do I allow to help me as I struggle
to work through my suffering?
Jesus was then crucified. And how did he respond? He reached out
to forgive his executioners, saying, —Father, forgive them,
they know not what they do— (Luke 23:34). Jesus modeled the
ultimate power of God, of redemption, in forgiving the very
people who thought they had the power to have the last word
in his life.
Forgiveness is not an easy skill to practice. It often can take
much time, even years in the case of abuse victims, to work
through the experience of forgiveness. Yet, when that moment
arrives, the true power of Christ—s presence is in the hands
of the one who forgives, not in the hands of the one who victimizes.
Jesus reached out one last time to the thief hanging on the cross
next to him. When this criminal spoke out in defense of Jesus,
he was invited to share in the glory of redemption.
When you reach out to others despite your own pain, you are like
Christ. You, too, will reflect that light in the darkness, the
same darkness Jesus swallowed up by dying, and shattered by
rising again.
The Final Score
What of our football game? Coach Nizzi—s charges came out on
the short end of the score. They lost a second game to their
opponents, though just by one point. So—where—s the redeeming
victory in this defeat?
Quite simply, redemption had moved from word to
action (and the Word became flesh). The team discovered that
they were up to the challenge. They rose up from the humiliation
of their first defeat and played their hearts out.
As with the crucifixion of Jesus, the numbers
on the scoreboard did not tell the final score. The buzzer may
have sounded, but its deeper meaning was just starting to sink
The game was over, but a new season in their lives was just beginning.
Redemption does indeed happen!

Out of Suffering?
You can call the Boys Town National
Hotline at (800) 448-3000 24 hours a day, every day. This

Ashleigh Knoth (14), Leslie Matthewson (15),
Tonia Muhlenkamp (14) and Cheri Welling (15), all of St. Anthony
Parish in St. Anthony, Ohio, met to critique this issue of Youth
Update. Barb Goffena, parish secretary and coordinator of religious
education, also joined in.
How can you move toward redemption with
old influences around everywhere?
Good question! To move toward redemption,
you must surround yourself with positive influences to form
a strong support system to live your Christian faith. This
means you need not only to find friends and adult guides who
share and support your values, but also learn new ways of
dealing with old friends and even family members. In the case
of serious abuse, this may mean having to live apart from
your family for a time until family members begin to move
toward redemption themselves. Listen to the wisdom of Proverbs
13:20: "Walk with wise men [and women] and you will become
wise, but the companion of fools will fare badly."
You don't mention any mess-ups or failures
on Juanita's part. When I try to change, sometimes I go backward.
How do I make sense of that?
Change does take time. Jesus knew this
well. He spent three years teaching 12 people how to live
as his followers. They didn't get it right all the time, but
Jesus didn't give up on them. Neither does Jesus give up on
us as we struggle to master new ways to live. Don't be defeated
by failures. Learn from them. Ask God to help you to forgive
yourself. Make your apologies and ask forgiveness from people
hurt by your actions. Ask God, too, to give you strength and
courage to act in a new way. At times like these, it's good
to remember one of the lessons of the woman caught in the
act of adultery. Jesus said to herand says to us when
we mess up"Neither do I condemn you....from now
on do not sin anymore." In other words, confront your
failures and begin again to live in Christlike ways.
How could I help somebody the way Carla
helped Juanita?
Work to be in right relationship with
God through prayer, worship, study and applying your Catholic
Christian faith to everyday relationships. You can also take
advantage of opportunities to learn how to help others. Become
educated in helping skills such as how to empathize, listen
and refer a person in trouble to competent help (such as the
Boys Town Hotline). You may be called to serve in a helping
profession as your vocation. If so, pursue courses of education
and spiritual direction that will help you to deal with your
own challenges in life. In doing so, you put yourself in a
position to be of help to others.

The Winners & Final Results of EVO 2012
Another incredible year of the premiere fighting game tournament has just concluded, with lots of hype, surprises, and upsets. Many crowd favorites such as Daigo Umehara (who was eliminated during Super Street Fighter 4 semifinals) and Justin Wong (eliminated during Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 semifinals as well), as well as other favored players like Combofiend and others having fallen short of championship status. This year's EVO also set the worldwide stage for Korea, China, Taiwan, Australia/Hong Kong, and Japan for showing their best players and providing an amazing show. Congratulations to all the Top 8 players!
eSPORTS: MLG Spring Championship – The Largest North American eSports Event in History
In case you haven't heard, last weekend's Major League Gaming (MLG) Spring Championship was kind of a big deal. However, it wasn't until the release of the event's official numbers a few days ago that we'd realize just how big of a deal.
Is NaNiwa The Next Rising Foreigner Hope Within a Korean Dominated Scene?
It's no surprise that everyone in the Starcraft 2 eSports community is aware of how much Koreans have dominated the scene since the days of SC: Broodwar. In recent major foreign tournaments, we have seen various koreans take the title of champion, some of which are: Teamliquid's Hero (Dreamhack Winter), EG's Puma (NASL Season 2), FXO's Leenock, Prime's MarineKing (MLG's Winter Arena), and finally Fnatic's Alive (IGN Proleague 4). However, it now looks like we have rising star within the community, and his name is NaNiwa.
eSPORTS: Marine King Prime, Breaking the "Second Place Curse"
In a stunning display of skill, precision, patience, and the determination for victory, South Korean Progamer Lee Jung "MarineKing" Hoon takes the 1st place in Major League Gaming's Starcraft II Winter Championship. This victory marks his second championship record in a significant foreign tournament in a row, ever since taking his first victory in February, during MLG's Winter Arena. Now the question begs: why does this particular player deserve mention? The answer is simple if you have been following the Starcraft II Esports scene for awhile.
eSPORTS: NASL Season 2 Grand Finals, Recaps & Highlights
December second through fourth was the North American Starleague's 2nd Season Finals, held in Ontario, CA. While the first season's games were intense and nail-biting, season 2 definitely raised the bar in terms of competitiveness. Many amazing games were played, and major upsets were had. Here, we'll go recap the event and talk about a couple of the highlights.
BlizzCon 2011 Wrap-Up
Many exciting things were announced at Blizzcon this weekend: a new WoW expansion, updates on Diablo 3 and more info on the new Starcraft 2 expansion.
eSPORTS: Congratulations to the Champion of IPL3: Origins!
In a stunning turn of events, a relatively unknown European Zerg player known as Stephano, from Team Millennium, took the championship at IGN Pro-league's first live Starcraft 2 Tournament over the weekend.
eSPORTS: League of Legends' Season Two to Possess a $5 Million Prize Pool
A free-to-play game with an epic payout?
And you thought playing video games was a waste of time.
The Winners of Evo 2011
Evo 2011 has been a shock to many. Favorites, like Daigo Umehara for Super Street Fighter IV and Justin Wong for Marvel vs Capcom 3, weren't able to grab the championship, let alone make it to the finals. Filled with tons of upsets and a lot of surprises, this year's Evo tournament was something amazing to behold. Congrats to everyone who made it to the top eight.

Tower Runners - Part 3
Tower Running is exactly what it sounds like – running up staircases in skyscrapers, as fast as possible. In other words, it's totally insane, and amazing. Though still an underground phenomenon propelled by a few extreme fitness addicts, it's a rapidly growing discipline and a perfect response to an increasingly vertical world.
While many tower runners compete in marathons and road races too, it's the additional intensity of sprinting up thousands of stairs that makes tower running so challenging. Measuring steps, adjusting to altitude, fighting vertigo, and enduring searing physical pain are all part of this uniquely urban competitive running experience.
In our three-part series we travel to Seattle, Los Angeles and Vancouver to meet a group of world tower running leaders including Kevin Crossman, Shawn Stephens-Wale, Kourtney Dexter, and Coach PJ Glassey… all-in athletes who compete at a world-class level despite limited public recognition, self-financing their international vertical running adventures. Check out Tower Runners - Parts 1 and 2 in case you missed them.

The flu is keeping emergency room and healthcare providers very busy in Georgia.There is a little bit of good news: because the flu hit about five weeks early here in the Southeast, we may see a drop in flu infections pretty soon. The bad news is we're not out of the woods just yet.FOX 5's Beth Galvin checked in with some Atlanta hospitals to see what steps they're taking to try to prevent the flu from spreading.Atlanta OBGYN Dr. Dawn Mandeville asks about flu shots a lot these days. "I've seen a lot of patients sick. They come in with runny noses, cough, sneezing, just generally not feeling well," said Mandeville.Mandeville's practice, Atlanta Obstetrics and Gynecology, encourages all of its pregnant patients to get vaccinated against flu, because they're at higher risk of serious flu complications, because their immune systems are suppressed."There are so many changes that occur in a pregnant woman's body, that the body is just concentrating on that. And, literally, it can't take the whole load of making a baby and fighting off infection," said Mandeville.Trying to slow the spread of flu is an around-the-clock job for most hospitals.Children's Healthcare of Atlanta's three ERs have been busy since November, when flu season began heating up about five weeks earlier than usual.Most hospitals require medical staff to be vaccinated for flu. Some hospitals, like Children's and Piedmont Hospital, have had to restrict visitors coming in to see patients, though Grady Memorial Hospital says it hasn't had to do so yet. Mandeville says her staff's secret weapon is hand sanitizer. She says she uses it 75 to 100 times a day."We're touching our patients. And they're touching us too, so definitely we want to decrease the risk of transmission," said Mandeville.Jenny Meyer-Carper is both a doctor and a patient, 20 weeks pregnant with her first baby. Meyer-Carper says she's counting on her flu shot, hand sanitizer and a little luck get her through the flu season."It's maybe made me a little bit more nervous this fall, or this year, but I've been lucky and been fine so far," Meyer-Carper said.It's not too late to get your flu shot, and the CDC is recommending it for everyone six months and older. But it is becoming harder to find flu vaccine, so you may have to work a little extra hard to find your flu shot.

FLOWERY BRANCH — For Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter it was scene out of a bad horror movie on "Monday Night Football."
And he was not even talking about the phantom "touchdown" at the end of the game. He fixated on Seattle's defense unleashing a pass-rushing flurry that netted eight sacks in first half.
Koetter, hasn't had to worry about that, but he had some empathy for Green Bay coordinator Tom Clements. Through three games, the Falcons' pass protection has been nearly impeccable as quarterback Matt Ryan has been sacked only four times.
"To have four sacks after three games [is pretty good], our goal is to keep under one a game," Koetter said.
An example of how the Falcons have been in sync in pass protection occurred Sunday on Ryan's 9-yard touchdown pass to Julio Jones in the second quarter.
The offense properly diagnosed San Diego's safety blitz. Running back Jacquizz Rodgers stepped up to block Pro Bowl safety Eric Weedle.
Right guard Garrett Reynolds and right tackle Tyson Clabo handled a stunt well, and the Falcons successfully blocked a blitz. They gave Ryan enough time to toss the pass to Jones, who was on a fade route to the corner to the end zone.
The throw and catch were a thing of beauty, but neither would have been possible without the pass protection.
"In that situation, they probably have one more than we can protect, and the thing is, if we can hold up just long enough, we feel like we can get the ball out and put the ball in a space for our guys to make plays," Ryan said. "That's one of the things that a lot of people never see, but those are the things that make those plays."
Here's how Koetter saw that key play.
"Not only Jacquizz, they were in a safety blitz on that side," Koetter said. "Matt recognized it. Jacquizz picked up the safety. Clabo and Garrett Reynolds both adjusted from the normal scheme based on the blitz. Where we would have been one short, we had everybody picked up."
The Falcons gave up 26 sacks and 84 quarterback hits last season. The team drafted offensive linemen with their first two picks, but the rookies couldn't unseat any of the veterans and are being groomed by offensive line coaches Pat Hill and Paul Dunn.
The offensive line gave up one sack to Denver, which has talented rushers in Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil. Left tackle Sam Baker and Clabo have been strong and stout thus far.
"We talk about pass protection being everybody's job," Koetter said. "It's the offensive line protecting, and they are doing a really nice job now. They've worked really hard at it and it's showing.
"Also, the fact that Matt is getting the ball out on time, and when we are getting blitzed, the hot receivers are where they are supposed to be, when they are supposed to be there."
After the beating that Ryan took last season, he worked on his strength conditioning in the offseason. The quarterback hits took their toll last season. With the added muscle, he hopes to be stronger at the end of the season.
With the beefed up pass protection, Ryan is off to a great start. His quarterback rating of 114 is tops in the NFL, and he has completed 77 of 107 passes (72 percent) for 793 yards with eight touchdowns and one interception.
"Our guys have done a great job," Ryan said. "They've worked their tails off up front. I think part of it is really having five guys who have played together a bunch. They understand each other's calls and work well with each other."
The offensive line credits Ryan, who is running more, with making their job a little easier.
"A big part of it is that we're able to get favorable looks and what we want a lot of times, especially when we are in the no-huddle package," left guard Justin Blalock said. "He's putting us in good positions to see blitzes coming."
The linemen know that Ryan doesn't need a whole lot of time.
"Anytime that we can shore things up and give Matt just a split second more, he's very, very accurate," Blalock said. "We have been able to keep people out of his face and keep him upright for the most part."

This shows you what an offensive line can do for a very good qb…give him time and he will pick you apart. Ryan gets it and is making quick reads and getting the ball out. Last year many times when he dropped back the defense was already on him….Pat Hill deserves a lot of credit.
September 28th, 2012

The O-Line was the weak link until this year. They are looking so good and getting better every week. Way to go guys! I know it took a lot of hard work and focus to get to that point. It is nice to see this offense firing on all cylinders. GO FALCONS! YOU ARE RISING UP!
September 28th, 2012
8:31 am
This is the group that everyone has had questions about. We have not heard many of the OLine names called during the first three games of the season and we all know that this is a good thing! Keep grading up front boys because if you do this will be the MVP of the season! All of them. Lets go NATION!

I'm impressed with the way the offensive line has played thus far. Sam Baker even is playing well. I hope the offense gets started fast the way they did in KC and San Diego. This is our first 1:00 PM start at home, it's also a great chance for Matt Ryan to run his no-huddle to perfection against a Carolina team that is in disarray right now.

Ryan is throwing like he did in his first season when we could all see his potential. The only problem i see is that it looks like they have worked so hard on pass protection that they have not prepared for run blocking to the same degree. We can all say that Turner has to step it up (And that may be the case.) but he has to have the holes to run through if he is going to put up numbers.
I think that as the season goes along other teams will be concentrating on Matt and the passing game and that will lend itself to more opportunities in the running game.

Too bad your 3 wins have an asterisk next to them due to the replacement refs. No more running of illegal pick plays & screen passes where receivers are blocking before the pass is completed…..guess you'll have to earn it now……we shall see….

Great article and great comments. I love the way this offensive line has been playing this season. We have a long way to go but we are playing very well up front. I have been saying this for a couple of years our problem wasn't Matt Ryan, Mike Mularky or Mike Smith. It was the offensive line. Now that the offensive line is playing well Matt Ryan has more confidence and can make quick and accurate decisions. And Mike Smith and Dirk Koetter do not have to be conservative with leads because they know the O-line will hold up. Great move on hiring Dirk and Patt Hill great call by the ATL staff. Loved the hiring of Patt Hill when I heard about it. Lets Go Falcons!!!! The Real A-Town Got Your Back!!!!!!
September 28th, 2012

What really helps as well is the fact that the defense has no idea what the offense is doing. Malarkey's boring tired offense is no longer here. The offense keeps the defense guessing.

The last act of a desperate fan is invoking replacement refs as an excuse. The aints who troll this site eventually invoke the super bowl "win" to justify how great they think they are. Do you realize the rest of the league, players, fans, all see that as the least respected super bowl "win" in history? You're the tonya harding of the nfl! The only way you won that Minnesota playoff was to injure your own best product from the area, Brett Farve. How long do you think you're "team" would have lasted if another team payed a low life player to take out drew brees' knees for $10,000? You wouldn't have won a game the rest of the year after that. No one did it cause no else would sink that low! But you did. You couldnt wait to take out a player. THE WORST TEAM IN THE NFL's HISTORY WAS THE 2009 aints! You think the league feels lousy about the Seahawks right now, imagine how they feel about a team that intentionally cheated and tried to injure players! Any aints fan who says they have a super bowl "win" is fooling themselves.You have a Tonya Harding Memorial Trophy. Go somewhere else and try and chew someone else's ear off you Tyson wanna be.

The Tonya Harding of the NFL!!! LMAO, now that is FUNNY!
The difference in the pass protection is night and day over where we were this time last year. I think Baker had already amassed 4 or 5 holding penalties by the 3rd game. The Falcon have stood up to the test of 2 really good defenses and 1 average defense. These guys have turned it up a notch.
One word about the Saint. You are OhFur. Get out the paper bag. It shouldn't be long before we start seeing them on Sports Center!

A tale of two cities that reminds us how important coaches are. Koetter brings new life to what seemed to be a mediocre, and sometimes worn-out, O-line, while Payton's loss has left aints w/o their real leader. It now looks like Brees got way too much credit for that offense's power. And it now looks like Baker et al. can play a little.

You can call it whatever type of Sbowl you wish! We won it and you can only wish to have won one. any fan crying about bounties are babies! It's football and getting hurt is a casualty of the game. No Saint player intentionally hurt anyone and if our opponents thought we were trying to injure and did nothing about it than tough….go cry with Matty Melted ice…buzz no one cares. It's all overblown by the league. The same league that saw the refs steal a game from Greenbay and then release a statement that the proper call was made.

Matty Melted ice……….wow, tough words from someone who supports a team that wears a pansy
lily on their helmet.
Nobody's crying about your bounty program, you cheated, you got caught. Nobody wll ever be able
to convince me that the hit on Curt Warner wasn't an attempt to collect a bounty. Your Caints are the arm pit of the NFL, their fans a sphincter muscle surrounded by a dark void.
Just think about it, how bad are you gonna feel when the NFL Atlanta Falcons NFC South Champions 2012 are playing in Super Bowl XLVII in your house……….that'll be our 2nd win in your house this year!!!

Bluster aside, anybody who is willing to support an immoral position in order to rationalize his team's record has to be a real fan. Hats off to a fan who would have stuck by his guys, saying that it's only part of the game, if Warner had been maimed.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A Louisville woman is accused of boarding a Jefferson County Public Schools bus and attacking the driver and bus monitor, and police say the suspect's three young children helped her.
It happened at the bus stop at Jackson and St. Catherine Streets just before 5 p.m. February 19. The warrant states it all started after the bus driver asked the children to be seated until the bus stopped.
The bus monitor suffered soreness to the head and abdomen and was treated at a medical facility. The bus driver had no visible injuries, according to investigators.
Police said JCPS has had ongoing problems with Yancey and criminal charges have been filed against her in the past. She now has been banned from JCPS property, including the bus stop for a year.
Yancey is charged in this case with criminal trespassing, terroristic threatening, third-degree assault, unlawful transaction with a minor and disorderly conduct.

A.Bill Feist, a former wood-finishes
researcher with the Forest Products Laboratory in Madison,
Wis., and co-author of Finishes for Exterior Wood, responds:
Mildew is a fungus found virtually everywhere; all it needs in
order to flourish is oxygen, a food source, moisture, and
temperatures between 40°F and 90°F.
As a siding stain degrades — due to UV exposure and other
environmental factors — the mildewcide it contains breaks
down. And if the climate is right (warm and humid is ideal),
chalked siding offers the perfect surface for mildew growth,
with dirt that's accumulated over the years providing an
additional food source.
Oil-based stains are more prone to mildew growth than latex
stains, but both types need good mildewcides. These typically
are effective for only two or three years; if mildew reappears
after just six months, most likely the old surface was not
adequately cleaned of dirt, chalk, and old mildew before
restaining. If mildew is present when you restain, you actually
help it by providing food and moisture for the spores;
furthermore, the stain could prevent bleach solutions from
reaching the source of the mildew.
To remove mildew before restaining and to prevent it from
reappearing, use a solution of one quart liquid household
bleach containing 5 percent sodium hypochlorite and three
quarts warm water; or use a commercial mildew cleaner, such as
those containing sodium percarbonate. Also, be sure to scrub
the surface gently with a sponge mop or soft-bristle brush
after applying the bleach or cleaner (always be careful to
protect the skin and eyes during application). After 15 to 20
minutes, thoroughly rinse with water to remove any remaining
cleaner or bleach solution, and let the cleaned siding dry
properly before restaining.

Dubai Filmmart sees spike in global interest in Arab cinema
Sun May 15,2011
Cannes, May 15, 2011: The Dubai Film Market announced today that last year's edition of the Dubai Filmmart, held in December 2010, assisted sales for a record 224 films from around the world, a 60 per cent increase from its 2009 edition. The Filmmart held an unprecedented 3,193 screenings in 2010, with more than 750 industry buyers from 60 nations attending.
The 2010 Filmmart boasted one of the strongest catalogues of Arab films in its history, including 23 world premieres, six international premieres, 37 Middle East premieres and 21 Gulf premieres from its DIFF catalogue alone. Cinetech, the digital library bespoke to DIFF, included 103 DIFF films, 43 films from the Gulf Film Festival and 78 Filmmart-recommended films.
Ziad Yaghi, Director, Dubai Filmmart, said: "The response to the 2010 Dubai Filmmart has been phenomenal, leading to our most successful year yet. The 60 per cent increase and feedback from our partners reflects growing global interest particularly in Arab cinema, in addition to Asian and African cinema. We are proud to play a role in taking Arab cinema to global audiences, opening regional doors for international content, and to facilitate B2B trade."
Shivani Pandya, Managing Director of the Dubai International Film Festival and Dubai Film Market, said the Filmmart's growth cements Dubai's reputation as a global hub for cinema content, capital and services.
"The volume of trade in Festival films – particularly Arab, Asian and African cinema, our core areas of expertise – as well as non-Festival films is evidence of the Dubai Film Market emerging as a standalone business destination for international and regional buyers and sellers of film," she said.
The 2010 Dubai Filmmart's contributions to Arab cinema going global include SBS Television Australia's acquisition of Muhr Arab-winning Lebanese drama Stray Bullet by George Hachem and The House Under the Water by Sepideh Farsi. SBS is also considering Syria's Damascus with Love and The Father and the Foreigner.
Earlier this year, Fortissimo Films acquired 678, the Egyptian drama that won two of DIFF 2010's Muhr awards, which has since screened at festivals in Rotterdam, Berlin, Geneva and New York.
Nicole Mackey, EVP of Sales and Acquisitions at Fortissimo Films said, "People want to hear the stories behind today's Egypt and see the real lives of people across the Middle East, and 678's success is a prime example. In the few months since we discovered the film in Dubai, sales have been buoyant and include prominent independent distributors in France (Pyramide), Spain (Golem), Portugal (Lusomundo), and Brazil (Imovision) with other territories are about to close."
Closer to home, award-winning UAE documentary Hamama by Nujoom Alghanem was selected for the renowned Paris Science Festival via Filmmart. Leaving Baghdad, Koutaiba al Janabi's Gulf Film Festival winner, is also sought after by several international distribution companies.
Major deals involving regional content leaders include: Shoreline Entertainment's (USA) sale of Middle Eastern distribution rights to Phoenicia Pictures International for 11 feature films, including Story of Bonnie & Clyde starring Hillary Duff.
Dubai-based content provider Intigral, a joint venture between Saudi Telecom Company, All Asia Networks and the Saudi Research and Marketing Group, sealed multiple local and international deals for films including 678, Melodrama Habibi and Samaan Baldayaa, in addition to volume deals with Falcon Films, Front Row, Teleview, Italia Films and other leading distributors. Intigral is also finalizing a long term output deal with Disney, and reported acquisition of more than 100 titles.
Front Row Films also sold 60 films to OSN and Intigral and acquired The Father and the Foreigner via Filmmart. Italia Films sold 12 titles and acquired seven titles.
Several companies used the Dubai Filmmart platform for deals involving non-Middle Eastern films and territories. China's Broadway Cinematheque moma, for example, acquired rights for DIFF films including Japan's Norwegian Wood and Poland's The Magic Tree; SBS Television Australia acquired Aamir Bashir's film Autumn (Harud) from India and Norwegian Wood, and made offers for Chinese martial arts thriller Reign of Assassins and Polish children's film Tomorrow will be Better.
On the Festival-to-Festival front, the recently concluded Hot Docs international documentary festival invited several DIFF 2010 films including Koundi and the National Thursday, This is My Picture When I was Dead and Zelal to its 2011 edition via Filmmart; and Shorts International acquired a number of short films from Asia and Africa in addition to the Arab world.
Key companies attending the 2010 Filmmart included: The Walt Disney Company, Shoreline Entertainment, Fortissimo Films, Shorts International, Pretty Pictures, SBS Television, France Television, Jaguar, 7th Art , Cinemavault, Madman, Irib - Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting, Fuji Television Network, Senator, O'Telecom/Orascom, Yalla TV, PBS, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Arclight Films, ARTE, Reed Midem and Hot Docs. Broadcasters represented from the Arab world included ART, OSN, Al Jazeera, Dubai Media Incorporated and MBC.
In its three-year history, the Dubai Filmmart has fielded more than 750 films. The fourth edition of the Dubai Filmmart will take place during Dubai International Film Festival 2011 to be held from December 7th to 14th 2011.

By GEORGE HENRY
Associated Press
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Now that spring practice is complete, Georgia coach Mark Richt can confirm his starters for 2013, and the list is pretty short.
There's fourth-year quarterback Aaron Murray, tailback Todd Gurley, center David Andrews and safety Damian Swann. Richt considers outside linebacker Jordan Jenkins nearly a lock.
Looking at the other 17 jobs, Richt is pleased that the Bulldogs have depth at each position, but he says the coaching staff might wait until late August to decide on the starters.
That's because Georgia has so many young players who have been in the program a year or two and are pushing the front-runners.
Georgia opens the season Aug. 31 at Clemson. The Bulldogs finished last season ranked No. 5 with a 12-2 record. Clemson went 11-2 and was ranked 11th.
