86 Rules of Boozing
Modern Drunkard
1. If you owe someone money, always pay them back in a bar. Preferably during happy hour.
2. Always toast before doing a shot.
3. Whoever buys the shot gets the first chance to offer a toast.
4. Change your toast at least once a month.
5. Buying someone a drink is five times better than a handshake.
6. Buying a strange woman a drink is still cool. Buying all her drinks is dumb.
7. Never borrow more than one cigarette from the same person in one night.
8. When the bartender is slammed, resist the powerful urge to order a slightly-dirty, very-dry, in-and-out, super-chilled half-and-half martini with a lemon twist. Limit orders to beer, straight shots and two-part cocktails.
9. Get the bartender's attention with eye contact and a smile.
10. Do not make eye contact with the bartender if you do not want a drink.
11. Unacceptable things to say after doing a shot: Great, now I'm going to get drunk. I hate shots. It's coming back up.
12. Never, ever tell a bartender he made your drink too strong.
13. If he makes it too weak, order a double next time. He'll get the message.
14. If you offer to buy a woman a drink and she refuses, she does not like you.
15. If you offer to buy a woman a drink and she accepts, she still might not like you.
16. If she buys you a drink, she likes you.
17. If someone offers to buy you a drink, do not upgrade your liquor preference.
18. Always have a corkscrew in your house.
19. If you don't have a corkscrew, push the cork down into the bottle with a pen.
20. Drink one girly drink in public and you will forever be known as the guy who drinks girly drinks.
21. Our parents were better drinkers than we are.
22. Never talk to someone in the restroom unless you're doing the same thingâ€â€urinating, waiting in line or washing your hands.
23. Girls hang out, apply make-up, and have long talks in the bathroom. Men do not.
24. After your sixth drink, do not look at yourself in the mirror. It will shake your confidence.
25. It is only permissible to shout 'woo-hoo!' if you are doing a shot with four or more people.
26. If there is a d.j., you can request a song only once per night. If he doesn't play it within half an hour, do not approach him again. If he does play it, do not approach him again.
27. Learn how to make a rose out of a bar napkin. You'll be surprised how well it works.
28. If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to drink in a bar. Go to the liquor store.
29. If you owe someone twenty dollars or less, you may pay them back in beer.
30. Never complain about the quality or brand of a free drink.
31. If you have been roommates with someone more than six months, you may drink all their beer, even if it's hidden, as long as you leave them one.
32. You can have a shot of their hard liquor only if the cap has been cracked and the bottle goes for less than $25.
33. The only thing that tastes better than free liquor is stolen liquor.
34. If you bring Old Milwaukee to a party, you must drink at least two cans before you start drinking the imported beer in the fridge.
35. Learn to appreciate hangovers. If it was all good times every jackass would be doing it.
36. If you ever feel depressed, get out a bartender's guide and browse through all the drinks you've never tried.
37. Try one new drink each week.
38. If you are the bar's sole customer, you are obliged to make small talk with the bartender until he stops acknowledging you. Then you're off the hook. The same goes for him.
39. Never tip with coins that have touched you. If your change is $1.50, you can tell the barmaid to keep the change, but once she has handed it to you, you cannot give it back. To a bartender or cocktail waitress, small change has no value.
40. If you have ever told a bartender, "Hey, it all spends the same,†then you are a cheap ass.
41. Anyone on stage or behind a bar is fifty percent better looking.
42. You can tell how hard a drinker someone is by how close they keep their drink to their mouth.
43. A bar is a college, not a nursery. If you spill a beer, clean it up. If you break a glass, wait for a staff member to clean it up, then blame it on someone else.
44. Being drunk is feeling sophisticated without being able to say it.
45. It's okay to drink alone.
46. After three drinks, you will forget a woman's name two seconds after she tells you. The rest of the night you will call her "baby†or "darlingâ€Â.
47. Nothing screams 'nancy boy' louder than swirling an oversized brandy snifter.
48. Men don't drink from straws. Unless you're doing a Mind or Face Eraser.
49. If you do a shot, finish it. If you don't plan to finish it, don't accept it.
50. Never brood in a dance bar. Never dance in a dive bar.
51. Never play more than three songs by the same artist in a row.
52. Your songs will come on as you're leaving the bar.
53. Never yell out jukebox selections to someone you don't know.
54. Never lie in a bar. You may, however, grossly exaggerate and lean.
55. If you think you might be slurring a little, then you are slurring a lot. If you think you are slurring a lot, then you are not speaking English.
56. Screaming, "Someone buy me a drink!†has never worked.
57. For every drink, there is a five percent better chance you will get in a fight. There is also a three percent better chance you will lose the fight.
58. Fighting an extremely drunk person when you are sober is hilarious.
59. If you are broke and a friend is "sporting youâ€Â, you must laugh at all his jokes and play wingman when he makes his move.
60. If you are broke and a friend is "making sport of youâ€Â, you may steal any drink he leaves unattended.
61. Never rest your head on a table or bar top. It is the equivalent of voluntarily putting your head on a chopping block.
62. If you are trading rounds with a friend and he asks if you're ready for another, always say yes. Once you fall out of sync you will end up buying more drinks than him.
63. If you're going to hit on a member of the bar staff, make sure you tip well before and after, regardless of her response.
64. The people with the most money are rarely the best tippers.
65. Before you die, single-handedly make one decent martini.
66. Asking a bartender what beers are on tap when the handles are right in front of you is the equivalent of saying, "I'm an idiot.â€Â
67. Never ask a bartender "what's good tonight?†They do not fly in the scotch fresh from the coast every morning.
68. If there is a line for drinks, get your goddamn drink and step the hell away from the bar.
69. If there is ever any confusion, the fuller beer is yours.
70. The patrons at your local bar are your extended family, your fathers and mothers, your brothers and sisters. Except you get to sleep with these sisters. And if you're really drunk, the mothers.
71. It's acceptable, traditional in fact, to disappear during a night of hard drinking. You will appear mysterious and your friends will understand. If they even notice.
72. Never argue your tab at the end of the night. Remember, you're hammered and they're sober. It's akin to a precocious five-year-old arguing the super-string theory with a physicist. 99.9% of the time you're wrong and either way you're going to come off as a jackass.
73. If you bring booze to a party, you must drink it or leave it.
74. If you hesitate more than three seconds after the bartender looks at you, you do not deserve a drink.
75. Beer makes you mellow, champagne makes you silly, wine makes you dramatic, tequila makes you felonious.
76. The greatest thing a drunkard can do is buy a round of drinks for a packed bar.
77. Never preface a conversation with a bartender with "I know this is going to be a hassle, but . . .â€Â
78. When you're in a bar and drunk, your boss is just another guy begging for a fat lip. Unless he's buying.
79. If you are 86'd, do not return for at least three months. To come back sooner makes it appear no other bar wants you.
80. Anyone with three or more drinks in his hands has the right of way.
81. If you're going to drink on the job, drink vodka. It's the no-tell liquor.
82. There's nothing wrong with drinking before noon. Especially if you're supposed to be at work.
83. The bar clock moves twice as fast from midnight to last call.
84. A flask engraved with a personal message is one of the best gifts you can ever give. And make sure there's something in it.
85. On the intimacy scale, sharing a quiet drink is between a handshake and a kiss.
86. You will forget every one of these rules by your fifth drink.

I get the most pissed off looks from people with my VKG 4 LFE Wisconsin license plate, and I LOVE IT!!
Re: 86 Rules of Boozing
26. If there is a d.j., you can request a song only once per night. If he doesn't play it within half an hour, do not approach him again. If he does play it, do not approach him again.
LOL!! People never follow this one. When I dj'd or did karoake shows in Minnesota people would always come and request either a song that people couldn't dance to, or some obscure song that only they know because they are "into the music scene" They would request the song over and over and then get mad when we didn't play it... jerks!

Chadron State names new President
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ An administrator at Chadron State College has been chosen as the school's new president.
The college announced Thursday that interim president Randy Rhine will assume the job permanently on Jan. 15. Rhine has served on a temporary basis since May, when then-president Janie Park retired.
Rhine will become the college's 11th president. His career at Chadron State College started in 2005, when he was hired to help increase enrollment and guide the schools' efforts to provide students with an affordable education.
Rhine had previously served as an administrator at Montana State University in Billings.
The search was conducted by a panel of faculty, staff, students, community members and members of the Nebraska State College System's Board of Trustees.
Chadron State College is a four-year public institution with about 3,000 students.

|Revel in the Wild Joy Offset Print
I just got some prints from Jonathan LeVine Gallery in today to sell in my Etsy store. They are a little late to the game for the holidays. Although if I get the order out by Monday or Tuesday, there is a good shot to get it there if you're in the U.S.
The prints are of Revel in the Wild Joy. They are larger than my usual prints. 24" x 24" image size and 26" x 26" print size. They are offset lithograph prints instead of giclée prints and they are fantastic looking. Since they are larger than my Giclée prints, I'll have to ship them through shipping tubes. But since they are offset prints, they are a hardier lot and will be fine... and they won't take a year to flatten out which is nice.
Check out my Etsy store for more info.
Have a great holiday! Put on some awful sweaters and drink some eggnog. Sing if you must.

I'd take Freeney on a decent 3 year deal. Not before, but now it makes a lot of sense.
Thug - He has a concealed a gun, in a public place, for no reason. Its 2013 in 1856.
There\'s a very real chance the Bucs waive [Revis] before next season. At the very least, it will be a discussion worth having.
Withholding judgement. He could of easily tried to check it in and was arrested for not having a NY permit even if he had a FL permit. The term loaded does not mean bullets in chamber or even the clip in NY. If you have a gun in your secured case and a box of bullets inside it is considered loaded. Not that uncommon for people to be arrested for trying to legally check in a gun at this or JFK airport and being arrested for not having the state permit only to go to court and have it dismissed or lowered to disorderly conduct if you have the money for a good defense.Or he could of easily been an idiot, who knows yet?
One issue that I thought of was how did the gun get to NY in the first place? Did he buy it up there and then try to take it on the plane or did he take it up and get through security and then on the way back it got picked up. FL concealed permits are not valid in NY. Does he have a concealed firearms license? Was it in a case of some kind?
Quote from: TampaBucks05 on February 18, 2013, 05:55:01 PMThug - He has a concealed a gun, in a public place, for no reason. Its 2013 in 1856.I think you should re-consider your definition of "thug".
Even if its the scenario where he bought the gun in NY, tried to check it legally, had a box of ammo, and got arrested on some crazy NY rules - he's still an idiot in my book. I'm a gun owner and support gun rights. But this is just stupid.

thank you so much Mary !!
I ordered this jersey on the internet, which is always a bit a gamble. Luckily colour is quite nice though ! Made the skirt as well together with a coco chanel type jacket, which my husband says make me look like a granny :-(
Well, you certainly don't look like Miss Marple !!!
We've only got an fabric store here and the lady knows me pretty well by now :-)) but she has lovely stuff normally and her prices aren't too bad either. I have never used ebay but am sometimes ordering stuff from a company called minerva crafts and fabrics, and have been mostly lucky with their stuff. They also offer to send a sample, which I am always too impatient to do though ! XX

Investors can make use of the run-up in the Lumax Industries stock to book profits. Since our December 2010 'buy' recommendation at Rs 266, the stock has moved up about 45 per cent. At the current market price of Rs 386, the stock trades at a rich price-to-earnings ratio of about 37 times its trailing 12-month earnings.
Lumax manufactures head-, tail-, and auxiliary-lamps for the auto industry. The company is a tier-I supplier to automakers such as Maruti Suzuki, Hero MotoCorp, Honda, Tata Motors, Toyota, and Mahindra and Mahindra.
Replacement demand not strong
After growing at 26 per cent (year-on-year) in both 2009-10 and 2010-11, auto industry volume growth took a beating last year. High inflation, interest rates and a slowing economy pulled growth down to 12 per cent. This jaded performance has continued this year as well.
Among all the segments, passenger cars were the most affected in this period, with volume growth in low single digits. Lumax, which earns at least half its revenues from the passenger cars segment, has borne the brunt of this slowdown. In addition, intermittent shutdowns at one of its major clients — Maruti Suzuki — following workers' strikes in the last year, have been a double whammy for the company. After the recent violence, the Manesar plant still operates at less than half its capacity. Besides, although lamps do tend to be replaced off and on due to breakage, the lighting segment does not have sizeable replacement market sales. In comparison, other components, such as tyres, batteries or clutches get a helping hand from replacement market demand at times when direct sales to auto manufacturers take a beating.
Challenging times
Weak demand, high input costs and a jump in interest costs due to capacity expansion pulled down profit growth in the year ended March 2012 and the first quarter of this year as well. In the quarter ended June 2012, net sales grew by 16 per cent to Rs 270 crore, while net profits slipped by 68 per cent to Rs 1.5 crore. Operating margins fell to 4.5 per cent from 5.8 per cent a year ago. The months ahead will continue to be challenging. For one, economic growth seems to be in no hurry to pick-up. Second, two-wheelers and light commercial vehicle sales, which showed some resilience last year, have now begun slowing down. Three, the hike in diesel prices announced last week may dampen demand a bit further for passenger cars. Considering the price differential between petrol and diesel, the majority of cars that sold so far were diesel models.

Nearly three-dozen children participating in this year's Horizons at Warner summer enrichment program spent a portion of their day in August as music artists. These talented students, accompanied by a handful of Horizons teachers, had the opportunity to film a music video with local children's musician Vincent Nunes for his song "No One's Going to Keep Me Down." The song is featured on Nunes' new CD, Smart Songs for Active Children, which donates a share of profits to Horizons at Warner.
In August, East High School girls participating in the Warner School's Science STARS afterschool program this past year received an award for their film You Are Not Alone, as they were among the top 11 finalists in the 2014 Rochester Teen Film Festival held at The Little Theatre in Rochester.
Local students entering sixth through twelfth grades will have a place to explore different kinds of writing in an open and creative setting, free of academic pressure, and grow as writers this summer at the Young Writers Camp, running Aug. 4 to 8 on the University of Rochester's River Campus. New this year, the summer camp will extend beyond the middle school years to serve high school students.
David Hursh, professor of teaching and curriculum at the Warner School, spoke in New Zealand about the American educational system, and how state policies have impacted teachers and children.
Mary Jane Curry, associate professor at the Warner School, and David Hanauer, professor of English at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, have compiled a collection of studies and projects from researchers and professionals in the fields of language studies and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.

The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
A team of 24 archers from Anderson Preparatory Academy competed in the National Archery in the Schools state tournament and came away with a sixth-place finish among 20 teams.
What's more, the Jets' score of 3,216 was well above the 3,050 needed to qualify to compete May 10 in the national competition in Louisville.
"They take the top 12 scores for the team total," said APA coach Patrick Yahner. "They take the top-four females and the top-eight males. They then add those scores together for the team total. That was our best score of the season."
The Jets' top score was a 276 from freshman female Cheyenne Morgan. Others to crack the 270 total were freshman Nathan Carrell (271), senior James Chastain (274), freshman Ian Evans (274), eighth-grader Caleb Overstreet (274) and freshman James Wilken (273).
"With the meets held during the season, we had been averaging 3,150," said Yahner. "So I had a feeling we would do pretty well."
There were 1,062 archers at the state competition, which was held at the Horizon Convention Center in Muncie.
"Four years ago when we went, we just had 16 archers," said Yahner. "This year we had 44 students participate. I don't know if maybe the character in the movie 'The Hunger Games' might have stirred some interest among the girls."
The team right now is finishing a brief resting period. Beginning today, the students will resume practice for the national event. A good score there would vault the team into the world competition, which will be held on June 28 in St. Louis.

The 49ers have added Reggie Davis and Peter Hansen to their coaching staff.
Lord of the rings
Although Neal Dahlen is the only man with seven Super Bowl rings, his legacy has been forgotten. And it perhaps never was fully appreciated in the first place.
NFC West tired of being 'NFC Worst'
The NFC West has been acting with a sense of urgency to shed its image as the league's wasteland, making a number of impressive coaching hires.
49ers retain four coaches, hire Seely
The 49ers announced Friday that head coach Jim Harbaugh will retain four assistants from 2010 for his coaching staff.
49ers hire new receivers coach
Jim Harbaugh is close to filling in his entire staff with the 49ers, as the team hired John Morton Thursday as its wide receivers coach.
49ers add to coaching staff
The 49ers have added former Panthers TE coach Geep Chryst, former South Florida head coach Jim Leavitt and former Broncos assistant Ed Donatell to their coaching staff.
Singletary joins Vikings' staff
Former 49ers head coach Mike Singletary will join Leslie Frazier's staff in Minnesota as the Vikings' linebackers coach/assistant head coach.
Willis and wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. are inactive for San Francisco, while Seattle's leading receiver, rookie Doug Baldwin, is playing despite a sore ankle.||||||| Willis missed his third straight game with a hamstring injury.
Willis said Wednesday that the latest crackdown on dangerous and flagrant hits will make it difficult for him and other players to do what they do best.||||||| Willis already is having a tough enough time this season without having to worry about increased restrictions. The linebacker, who has been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his first three seasons, is off to the slowest start of his four-year career. "I thought as a defensive guy you're supposed to hit," Willis said. "You shouldn't get in trouble or fined or get a flag for just playing football."
Willis and the Niners agreed to a five-year contract extension Tuesday that takes him through the 2016 season.||||||| This is another big offseason splash by new San Francisco personnel chief Trent Baalke, who took charge after general manager Scot McCloughan's abrupt departure in March. Locking up Willis for the long haul makes sure the 49ers keep their defensive leader after they bolstered their offense in the draft with two top linemen.
Willis has undergone surgery on his right knee to remove an inflamed fluid sac that kept him out of this year's Pro Bowl.||||||| The 49ers said the surgery, considered minor and done about a week ago, was performed by Dr. Tim McAdams and Dr. Gary Fanton at Stanford Hospitals and Clinics in nearby Redwood City. The team will not put a timetable on Willis' return, but he isn't expected to be sidelined for long. The team will adjust his offseason conditioning and regimen as he rehabilitates.
Willis was back Monday after missing 22 practices with an ankle and Achilles injury.||||||| Willis only participated in individual drills as the team's trainers ease him in slowly. The All-Pro linebacker suffered the injury to his right leg during a drill.

We need this.
I'm hoping that this feature will be included with the new Galaxy client roll-out. If not, then this really needs to be addressed. It is nice to be notified that a game has been updated but often we have no idea what has changed.
This would be very helpful. Please make it happen!
I don't have broadband and can only really download after midnight. Having to schedule the GOG downloader and guess at what I need to update is a real pain. Any sort of detail about what's been updated would be helpful since it's a waste to download a 10+ GB game over three days just to see it's what I already have.
In addition to having a changelog up front, there should be a better way of clearing the New flag without needing to stop/start the download.
People waiting for a changelog since 2012, still no resolution. Sigh. I just logged in to find that 5 of my games were "updated", without any way of knowing what was changed (the games have seen their last patches a decade-to-two ago). Should I redownload them again just because their installer artwork has changed? Please, give us a changelog. Seriously.
We need this without a doubt. Notifying me that the game has been updated is nice, but it's practically worthless unless I know what was changed.
Witcher 1 got an update. Have fun figuring out, what has been updated among those ~13 GB! :(
Changelog is a must have feature.
Now i see that some games in my library were updated, but who knows what was updated? Game itself? Bonus content? Go figure out...
I'm always asking on the forum "What just updated?"
This feature would save me a lot of time and a hassle.
Please consider it.
+1 to change log
I so do want a changelog for all games. I recently got update notices for two dos games and found that the new game versions even have identical checksums so want did change?
Having what version the game is patched to, and whether or not the game is a Win95 or DOS or etc. would be super helpful and informative for people looking for what versions certain games are. It's done for some games, but it would be much nicer to see it done on a more consistent basis with all games.
Highly time this is implemented for all the reasons Randalator mentioned, especially when the same installer number version is used (which should be dropped altogether).
I'm sad that for all the pride GOG takes regarding their support, they're doing a really poor job at being transparent about what the updates, some times not even informing us of an update (silent updates).
update: JudasIscariot mentioned a site rewrite, maybe this feature is included http://www.gog.com/forum/divine_divinity_series/divine_divinity_french_mac_graphical_issues_fixed/post9
@maddNeal: "Somewhat related, if a game is patched SEVERAL times, I would like the option to download the older versions. "
+1 to this - Witcher 2 being a prime example as the Enhanced Edition requires .NET Framework which I don't want on my system.
Somewhat related, if a game is patched SEVERAL times, I would like the option to download the older versions. There's always the possibility that newer patches either cause more problems, or even fix things that you didn't think were a problem (or were just fun problems XD )
Just a small link beside the game installer that reveals older versions would be fine. Most people who don't care about older versions would likely never even use it.
Yes, totally. I just wasted time trying to figure out what the recent change to Divine Divinity was. 1.7Gb file to download ... that's your bandwidth.
You already provide notifications when games are updated. Let us appreciate your hard work of providing updates - let us know what's changed :)
Knowing what changed not only in the last update but in all previous updates would be a nice addition.
I'm all for a Change Log/Patch History.
Most games I own now come with an update/patch. It would be nice to know what the changes are for. +1 for change log.txt.
T-H-I-S. It would be nice to know what has changed and whether it is worth installing. On another note knowing the version of the game gog provides will be useful when I am searching for additional patches. Put the information in a .txt file.
Do you mean for the games or the website?
If you mean the games, there is a link to the forum at the bottom of each gamecard were they usually post the changelog.
Please do this. It sucks searching everytime to see what changed.
Oddly, I've only just noticed the lack of change log and as with jforte I just noticed updates for Thief 1 & 2.
It's so odd not having a change log. Most of the programmers I know implement a logging system and are respectful enough of their end users to publish them.
I'd love to see one implemented for each product. If it's a headache to retrospectively add one then don't, but furture updates should be very easy to log.
Go on GOG - you know you can do this and it should be very easy :).
I will pay you 100 dollars of my money to work on this feature. Yes it's only an hour of work or so, but still. Let me know and I will send you the monies!
I just found that Thief and Thief 2 have updates. Do they make the games run better on modern systems? Is it something minor? Who's to know?
GOG, please do this. You do such a wonderful job of distributing these games, but this one thing should be industry-standard.
Please add a changelog for each individual game. It's really not okay to have users download gigabytes of installer files on blind faith, only to have them find out that all was changed was the installer itself. Or that a mod toolkit was added that they probably won't need. People need to know if a download is worth their time and bandwidth (be it for backup reasons or existing installations). Please don't leave us in the dark about something so vital.
Besides, a comprehensive changelog also shows that you don't just abandon your games after they're released but continue to improve them. That improves customer loyalty and general trust in your service.
I hope this gets implemented.
I think it is absolutely necessary. Transparency is a number one rule. I hate Steam sneak patches, I hate losing control over what is changed with the applications I have licensed. Thx.
A sticky in each game's respective forum would be enough.
An update-notification without a notification about the changes is nearly useless.
Come on GOG, just do it.
Yeah, it's about transparency for the users. Connected to this, GOG should implement a transparent version numbering system: http://www.gog.com/wishlist/site/add_version_number_to_gog_releases_eg_earth_2140_release_12
It's so unprofessional to NOT have a changelog. Practically no one knows what changed. This is a must.
We need it!
Since GOG uses their own version numbers for games, you need to give us a change log so we know what was updated. We cannot go to the office web site of most of the games to find out what is contained in your patches. This information is vital and you need to communicate that to your customers.
I agree, the game pages should atleast contain information about changes from the original version - which bugs were fixed etc. That would clear things up and maybe even convince more people to buy the game here rather than on steam or somewhere else.
Absolute necessity. That cat and mouse game in the forums 'Is bug X fixed?' - GOG staff: 'We fixed it' is really absurd.
We want it!
We need this without a doubt. Notifying me that the game has been updated is nice, but it's practically worthless unless I know what was changed.
Gog it's the only place in the world where you must to ask for a feature that they HAVE to implement XD
Agreed. A change long would be the perfect way to track changes to files, as well as changes to what's available via download. Ideally each game should have a change log that anyone can access via a link from the catalog page. This would make the changes visible not only to people who have purchased the game, but also people who are thinking about buying. The availability of this info may actually prompt people to buy a game that they've been putting off.
I had recommended this to their team months ago, far before I knew this "wishlist" existed. This is a standard feature in software and game development. Even a link to a text file on each game page with the versions and changes would be enough. And it would alleviate the need for the staff to actively reply to the customers in the forums on what the changes were each time.
A patch MUST have a changlog - end of chat! (1) Seriously - it isn't so hard..
A change log is a basic necessity for patches. I know you'll come through with this for us, GOG!
I expect better from GOG.com. A patch MUST have a changlog - end of chat!
Totally agree on this one. At least a sticky in the forum belonging to any game that received an update would be a good idea.
Absolutely. The patching system could be a bit more transparent than currently.

The commissioner for the Tennessee Department of Children's Services is asking for more than $8 million to hire new staff and make other improvements to the agency that has been highly scrutinized over children's deaths.
Commissioner Kate O'Day and her staff met with Gov. Bill Haslam on Thursday during budget hearings for fiscal year 2013-14.
O'Day said she welcomes the scrutiny her department has been under for the past few months and explained how her department plans to fix some major problems.
However, some lawmakers weren't satisfied with the answers.
"We're looking at the tools that we put in those folks' hands. What kind of questions do we ask? What do we do when something goes wrong? How do we investigate that and make sure we learn and prevent the next situation from happening," O'Day said.
In the first half of 2012, at least 31 kids died who were the subject of a current or closed DCS investigation. Some were even in state custody at the time.
But that's not all.
The department's main computer tracking system has had major problems tracking and reporting the status of kids in its care or cases under investigation for the past two years.
And even the governor wants assurances that this is going to have a resolution.
"You all now are comfortable that by calendar year 13, in terms of having the information to run this - to help take care of kids in the state, we're on the right path," Haslam said.
"Yes, sir," O'Day said. "This system can be made to work. It's a large system, very complex. A lot of rebuilding needs to be done. But it is very much on its way to doing the things it needs to do."
State lawmakers have been demanding answers and say they heard little in Thursday's hearing to reassure them that children in Tennessee's care are safe.
"It's horrible what we do to kids in this state, and we need to do better," said State Rep. Sherry Jones, D-Nashville.
DCS is asking for an increase in its budget next year to hire more child protective services workers who would investigate abuse reports and more case workers to deal with foster families.
In addition, its call center has had major issues, and a report is due on how to fix that within the next few months.
Haslam has asked state departments to develop plans for a 5 percent spending cut as a fallback and said granting DCS' entire $8.6 million request would be tough because of a tight budget.
Besides DCS, other agencies scheduled to present their budgets on Thursday include Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and Labor and Workforce Development.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
A very unique experience in the heart of Mision Gorge. Traverse along the top of the Main Wall. We did left to right but it probably goes well both ways. Decent hand jams in a horizontal crack that splits the entire main wall. Feet tend to be greasy as usual at the Gorge. Many awkward moves throughout the climb but no real show stoppers. The holds just open up right when you need them. Make sure to protect your second! Only follow this route if you would also feel comfortable leading it.
Start at the top of Crack of Dust. Rightmost anchor on the ledge. Finish on top of a pillar of The Wasp.
Full rack from Black Alien to #4 Camalot. Nuts not that useful. Slings to clip rusty anchors along the way.

As a parent of a young child, one of the most important decisions you will make is choosing who will care for your child while you're at work. Here's how to get started:
Do you want your child to be cared for at home? Or, does it make more sense to bring your child to the caregiver? Once you've made this decision, the National Association of Childcare Resource and Referral Agencies says, you should investigate common types of settings:
In-home care. Having a nanny or babysitter come to your home allows your child lots of one-on-one attention. It may give you a more flexible schedule, too. But, it can be expensive. Keep in mind that most states don't regulate this type of care. So, you may need to do more of your own research on the sitter's background.
Family child care. This type of care takes place in the caregiver's home instead of yours. One adult may take in up to six children. But, that number may rise to 12 if a qualified assistant is on hand to help. All family child-care providers must meet minimum health, safety and nutrition standards. But, not all states require them to be licensed, undergo background checks or have regular home inspections.
Center-based care. Children usually are grouped by age in a classroom setting, often with a set schedule of activities. Centers that handle large groups of children must be licensed by their state. This means that they are required to meet certain health and safety standards, as well as make sure caregivers receive appropriate training. Other regulations also may apply in your state.
What makes a caregiver a good choice for your child? Parents are encouraged to look for the following:
A safe, stimulating environment
Qualified caregivers
A low ratio of children to staff
Consistent, warm relationships between caregivers and children
Don't make a choice before visiting the site. Most places allow parents to drop in unannounced.
Feel free to ask a caregiver about any specific concerns. If you're happy with the answers you get, you just may have found a great place for your child to grow.

Week 15 of the 2011 NFL season picks back up today with two games already finished. The Falcons-Jaguars and Cowboys-Bucs contests got the week going, but we now have a full slate of Sunday games. Thursday and Saturday were relatively quiet days for tight ends, with Jason Witten leading the way with 77 receiving yards. It has been an odd season for tight ends. Rob Gronkowski is dominating while traditionally solid tight ends like Vernon Davis and Heath Miller are struggling.
It is worth noting that Scott Chandler and Ben Watson are both out this week. If you are looking for some sleepers, Vikings TE Visanthe Shianco is an intriguing option. He and Ponder have not been on the same page every week, but there remains some decent upside.
Another decent option would be Raiders TE Kevin Boss. He is coming off a 43-yard, one touchdown performance and with the Raiders injury issues, he has some modest upside. Denarius Moore could be returning on Sunday, which could open up the middle of the field a bit more for Boss.
Here are the top 15 tight end projections for Week 15. You can view all the projections at numberFire.com. For more on fantasy football, check out Fake Teams. Follow us on twitter @sbnationfantasy.

Jim Souhan - Vikings miss a certain wide receiver
Jim Souhan: Ode to a departed Vikings receiver
Jim Souhan, Star Tribune
September 21, 2005
The Vikings are missing the contributions of a certain big-play receiver -- they've been losing since he left. And there's no chance of his return.
This is an admission. The Vikings do, indeed, miss their big-play wide receiver.
They miss the guy who produced all those touchdowns, who filled all those highlight reels, who shined during the greatest successes of the post-Purple People Eater era.
They miss the guy who overcame trouble early in his career to rise to greatness, who committed acts of silliness in the end zone, who made Daunte Culpepper a better quarterback, who was left heartbroken by the Vikings' 41-0 loss to the Giants in the 2000 NFC Championship Game.
To evoke his greatness, you need only intone his three-syllable name. The Vikings haven't been the same since he left, in 2002.
That's right, the receiver the Vikings have missed the most in the new millennium is not the most talented receiver in NFL history -- Randy Moss.
It's the best receiver in Vikings history -- Cris Carter.
Don't listen to the TV shills who tell you that two teams -- the Oakland Raiders and the Vikings -- will be defined by Moss this season.
That's the easy story from the booth. It's the wrong story in the real world, where sport can be inexplicable and more than talent counts.
For example, who knew back in 1991 that a waiver claim would land the Vikings a future Hall of Famer?
In 1992, Carter became the leading receiver on a playoff team. From that point until the drafting of Moss, the Vikings frequently changed quarterbacks, offensive coordinators, running backs and management teams. The constants were coach Denny Green and his good friend Cris Carter.
So you can divide recent Vikings history into two categories:
They went 56-40 (a .583 winning percentage) when Carter was their top receiver, from 1992 to 1997.
They went 41-23 (.641) from 1998 to 2001, when Carter and Moss played together.
They went 23-25 (.479) from 2002 to '04, after Carter left and Moss became the unquestioned star.
Now Moss is making spectacular catches and taking smoke breaks for a new team, and that team is 0-2, making his personal record 23-27 without Carter.
With Oakland, Moss has made those breathless TV announcers gasp with two 100-yard games, and then there is this:
On a key third down against New England, Moss dropped a pass, contributing to another loss.
On a key third-and-7 against Kansas City, Moss ran a 6-yard pattern, caught the ball and stepped out of bounds without bothering to stretch for the first down.
In both games, according to eyewitnesses, Moss continued his pattern of taking plays off.
This is not to say the Vikings couldn't use him. They need all the help they can get, and Moss' absence was one reason they couldn't run the ball against Tampa Bay.
And if Moss had performed spectacularly against Cincinnati, the Vikings might have lost only 38-21, and he might have walked off the field early, compounding his team's embarrassment.
Moss fans love to argue that he is a transcendent player, but he has proved to be a spectacular loser.
So, please, stop blaming the Vikings' woes on Moss' departure.
When the players are good enough -- and the current Vikings should be at least competent -- there is no choice but to blame the coaching.
Former offensive coordinator Scott Linehan was Culpepper's security blanket. When Linehan took over quarterback coaching duties during the 2002 season, Culpepper was transformed into the man who set an NFL record for combined passing and rushing yards last year.
Now Linehan is gone, new offensive coordinator Steve Loney is trying to learn on the job and coach a depleted offensive line and call plays, and Tice is displaying the leadership skills that made New Orleans the tourist attraction it is today.
At this point in his career, Culpepper should be tutoring Loney and taking charge of the offense, not paying homage to Monty Python's 100-meter dash for people with no sense of direction.
Tice and Culpepper welcomed life without Randy.
Through two games, both have failed to take command of their team, and both seem to agree that Culpepper should shoulder the blame."From the fury of the Northmen, O Lord, save us!"
-- From a monestary in Ireland.
Re: Jim Souhan - Vikings miss a certain wide receiver
Interesting article...but the easy answer is intoned in the latter part of the article.
And that is the simple fact that we don't have an experienced offensive coordinator who can provide Culpepper with a solid base from which he can launch himself...
Remember what happened when Billick left...we sucked until Linehan got better...now we will suck until Loney gets better...or we replace him with someone who is already good.
I suggest that Wilf go out and find an "offensive consultant"...someone who can step in and make the necessary fixes on offense AND call the plays on Sunday...Loney is not ready and we can't afford to wait for him to get better. Loney is way overburdened with all he is responsible for and Tice can't put any more on his own plate, as he is still learning how to be a head coach. Maybe Rich Olson, the quarterback coach, can be the one to call the plays...it kinda makes sense that he do it only because he is the one who should be communicating with the QB anyway...but I don't know about his qualifications at that level. Smart business owners bring in people who are better than them at different tasks...that way they reap the benefits of the superior talent...Wilf needs to find an offensive genius and bring him in to fix the problems and also to lighten the load for the rest of the coaching staff...it's obvious that they can't handle everything that is on their plates right now!BANNED OR DEAD...I'LL TAKE EITHER ONE
Re: Jim Souhan - Vikings miss a certain wide receiver
I think I miss AC more than CC...........He was small, but he played big.
We can make all the excusses we want, they lost moss, they lost thier OC, the line's banged up, Daunte can't read a defense, they dont run the ball...........but the fact is that right now this is a team thats not playing anywhere near its potential.
And that is probably due to a combination of every factor not just one.

R.Moss, AC, CC .... naaaaa, the one I miss the most : Sammy White.
"Two Martini" Tommy hung him out to dry every pass and Sammy almost always made the catch .... over the middle, in the corner, didn't matter ... Sammy got to the ball.

No doubt, the Vikes have had some awesome receivers over the years. Prepare yourselves for the new blood, Troy starts his reign this weekend.
Re: Jim Souhan - Vikings miss a certain wide receiver
maybe someday we can bring back CC as a coach.

Amazing how no other paper in the country reports Moss is taking plays off...
And yes, we obviously miss Cris Carter.

Re: Jim Souhan - Vikings miss a certain wide receiver
Anyone else noticed the Raiders are 0-2? But of course, WE are hurting without Moss.
I m like a Ja Rule poster, cause I'm off the wall.
Re: Jim Souhan - Vikings miss a certain wide receiver
man I dont even care what these bums say. I've gotten to the point where its in one ear and out the other. We dont need to prove anything to them, just to ourselfs. We may be down, but we're not out.
Theres NOTHING greater then a Florida Gator!

On the 2006 AST Dew Tour, TJ Ellis was one of only two riders to land the double back flip. However, he struggled to put down consistent runs at the start of his career, recording a sole top 10 overall finish in 2007, when he finished the season ranked ninth. Things changed in 2009, when he impressed fans with an array of flip and spin variations, and he won the Warriors of Wood contest. On the Dew Tour, Ellis put together a pair of second-place showings - the first podium finishes of his Tour career - to close out the 2009 season in third place overall, and he also finished third the following year. In 2012, he won the Best Trick contest at the Red Bull Empire of Dirt, and there was a podium finish at Dreamline in New Mexico in 2013. Born in southern California in 1986, TJ is well-known for his positive attitude and friendly demeanour. He says he has been riding for 'as long as he can remember': "When I took my training wheels off and started jumping off curbs as a kid, it just stuck with me and the only thing I wanted to do was peddle. It never gets old and I love the challenge of progression." He is always pushing the limits of BMX and lists his favourite trick as variations on the back flip. Despite briefly losing mobility in his foot following an accident in Colombia in 2010, he has continued to progress and push to see what is possible on his bike.

Blessed William Richardson
- William Anderson
Grew up in the area of Sheffield, Yorkshire, England. Studied at Rheims, France, the English College, Valladolid, Spain and the College of Saint Gregory in Seville, Spain from 1592 through 1594. Ordained in 1594. He returned to England to minister to covert Catholics, often hiding under the name William Anderson. Betrayed to the authorities by a friend, he was arrested and condemned to death for the crime of priesthood. He was the final martyr in the persecutions of Queen Elizabeth I; he prayed for her just before he died.

Chicago-area schools have a new tool to monitor air quality.
The Illinois Partners for Clean Air and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency announced the new Air Quality Flag Program on Tuesday.
Participating schools will use the color-coded flags to inform teachers, coaches and the community of each day's air quality.
Green and yellow flags mean air quality is good or moderate. An orange flag means children, older adults and people with respiratory diseases such as asthma should use caution. Red and purple flags indicate the air is unhealthy for everyone.
Illinois EPA Director Lisa Bonnett says children are particularly susceptible to air pollution, which can trigger asthma attacks. She says the flags will help teachers and others know when to modify outdoor activities.

Overtime and shootout losses are still losses, and while the Lightning have reached 17-17-3, that leaves them 3 games below .500. This, and some notes in our game day preview
Ryan Malone is back in the lineup, Mattias Ohlund is back on ice with the team in practice, and the Bolts power play showed up against the Penguins on Thursday. Can it rear it's head again for...
Brett Connolly is to stay with the Tampa Bay Lightning this season,. So, who is the odd-man-out when defenseman Mattias Ohlund returns to the lineup?
Though Mattias Ohlund's extended departure from the Lightning lineup hurts, it's not like the Lightning are absent the personnel to make up for the loss.
A brief update on the status of Mattias Ohlund.

You may have noticed (but more likely didn't) that I haven't been around much, particularly since the launch of SBNation United. This isn't because I'm exceptionally busy, or because I'm not interested - turns out I can't actually use most of SBNU at work. I run IE8, and don't have another option (we can't install our own software, I can't use a USB drive, nothin'), and SBNU doesn't run all that well on IE8 at this point in time. I'm told they're fixing the bugs as fast as they can, though, so hopefully I'll be back to normal posting here shortly.
In the meantime, it's Wednesday, and I can still post FanPosts, so here's a FanPost. In the last NSSR, Travis asked a question that got lost at the bottom of the post:
"For the beer nerds out there, do you have a favorite fresh hop (also called wet hop) beers?"
Why yes, Travis, I do! With the caveat that I haven't had any of this year's fresh hop beer yet (most of them have just started being made/released in the last few days), here's a couple that I dig:
Oakshire Ask The Fish (http://oakbrew.com/fresh-hops-2012): A Northwest-style red ale. Combine an easy-drinking IPA (not the hop-bomb that is most common, but one with a little less bite) with a red ale, and what do you get? AWESOMENESS IS WHAT
Chatoe Rogue (http://rogue.com/beers/chatoe-wet-hop.php). Rogue is probably my favorite of the "bigger" craft breweries in Portland; they've really only ever made one or two beers I've disliked (I'm looking at you, Voodoo Maple Bacon Ale!). I don't get Rogue very often, though, because it's also one of the more expensive craft beers in town - a six pack of Dead Guy Ale is about $12, which is just dumb. But their Chatoe Rogue fresh-hop is a really good, solid ale; it's got a bit of the hoppiness but it's not as aggressive as a typical IPA.
I am actually looking forward to trying several fresh hop beers over the next few weeks, while they last - I would encourage you to do the same if you're into beer. Also, there have been Jubelale sightings in the world, so life is good.
Anything else on your mind this week?

Four workers suspended over mental health hospital investigation
Four members of staff have been suspended at a hospital trust where police have launched an investigation into the death a patient.
It follows an allegation made about the care of a man in his 40s at Hellesdon Hospital near Norwich.
The patient had a medical emergency on 1 October and questions have been raised over the treatment he received at the mental health hospital before he was taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.
He died three days later.
Roz Brooks, of Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust, said it had contacted police as soon as concerns were raised.
She added: "We can confirm that four members of staff have been suspended pending further investigation." The trust has launched an internal investigation.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A Michigan family is raising awareness for a rare condition that affects their 8-month-old daughter.
Williams Syndrome is a genetic condition that is caused by a spontaneous deletion of 26-28 genes on chromosome number 7.
"It encompasses many different medical issues, such as cardiovascular disease, developmental delays, learning disabilities, and sometimes kidney issues," explained Jackie Cousino.
When Jackie's daughter Kelsie was born, doctors noticed she had a heart murmur. At two months old, she underwent a procedure and reacted to the anesthesia. Both of these are characteristics of Williams Syndrome.
After further testing, the Cousino's received Kelsie's diagnosis.
"It was shocking," said Kelsie's father Andy. "Kind of hard to swallow. But we made due."
Kelsie suffers from cardiac issues, hernias and displays the distinct facial features of Williams Syndrome. Her growth is delayed, and other symptoms may develop in the future.
"Every time we go to the doctor they say nothing is getting worse," Andy said. "So we're just kind of letting God do his role, and hopefully she'll be one of the lucky ones where everything gets better on her own."
Kelsie could require special help for the rest of her life, but her family isn't looking at it that way.
"I don't know if it will impact our life that much more," Andy said. "We're blessed to have her."
"She's a great baby and we wouldn't trade her for the world," Jackie added.
May is Williams Syndrome Awareness Month, and on Saturday, May 18, a Walk for Williams is being held in Perrysburg. The event will be held at Grace United Methodist Church at 601 E Boundary Street, from 9:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. There will also be lunch, chair massages, raffles and a silent auction. For more information, email Michelle Self at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The family of Maria Barrera are uniting to raise money to help with her battle against liver disease and rhuematoid arthritis.
Maria, or mom as I like to call her, is a lifelong Victorian and the majority of our family lives in Victoria today. Mom had a large family growing up and dropped out of school to help support her siblings. Since then, she has returned obtained her GED, went to college, completing the Medical Assisting Program and earning her certificate in Phlebotomy.
For years my mothers symptoms remained unnoticed. In recent months doctors have diagnosed her with the liver disease, cirrohsis and rheumatoid arthritis. Last month specialists at the Liver Center in Houston, Tx confirmed diagnosis. The battle may be long but the road does not have to be rough.
Mom works in a plant, standing long hours and enduring the pain of her illness. Although the insurance helps there are high costs of traveling, treatments, and medications that are not covered.My mother is an angel on Earth and will give the shirt on her back to a stranger. She has helped every last person we know, even during her sickness, and it is time for us to help her.
