UPDATE 3/5/14 @ 10:50 p.m.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The manager of a Huntington pawn shop said there were signs something was amiss before a man was arrested there for illegally buying guns.
On Tuesday, undercover ATF officials and police arrested 45-year-old Estill Timothy Slone of Huntington in the shop's parking lot.
That was after investigators said he tried to use his credit card to buy guns in someone else's name.
Officials say Slone is a convicted felon and cannot own a firearm.
Store managers say Slone was hostile and had to be removed from the store twice before the arrest.
That's when they contacted police.
"He was actually the one looking at the firearms, but not the one purchasing them," Tri-State Pawn Shop Manager Cody Williams said. "That's how we discovered it was fraudulent."
Store workers say Slone also tried to bypass the background check system by having someone else fill out the paperwork, which was another tip-off.
Federal agents arrested Estill Timothy Slone, 45, of Huntington, for being a felon in the possession of firearm, according to court documents.
The arrest happened Tuesday at Tri-State Pawn and Jewelry in the 500 block of 4th Avenue.
The affidavit filed in U.S. District Court says Slone was arrested after he took possession of five firearms that were carried out to him from the store by an undercover agent. The federal agent says Slone was sitting in his vehicle in the store parking lot when he received the guns.
At that time Slone told the agent, "Give me the those guns, I got to go."
As Huntington Police and ATF agents were waiting on Slone at the store, James Rollins watched it all unfold from across the street.
"As soon as {the agents} saw a blue pickup at Tri-State they immediately pulled out, swung around blocking the vehicle in and then another truck came in behind that," Rollins said.
A statement from the store says:
"Tri State Pawn and Jewelry takes seriously it's role in the purchase and sale of firearms. We understand the responsibility we have to the community to keep firearms out of the hands of persons who are banned from ownership.
We had a situation where a person attempted to purchase five hand guns in another persons name as he was barred from purchase.
Rather than look the other way and allow the transaction to occur, our alert staff contacted the appropriate authorities. We assisted the ATF and the Huntington Police Department to investigate the case and make an arrest.
Tri-State Pawn and Jewelry values its role in the community and will always support a citizen's right to lawfully purchase and own firearms."
Slone was prohibited from possessing a firearm due to 1996 rape conviction in Ohio.
He is also a registered sex offender in W.Va. according to State Police.
WSAZ.com caught up with Slone's girlfriend. She claims the guns were in her name, not Slone's.
She said she was also arrested on an unrelated warrant, but was later released.
Slone has a hearing in federal court Wednesday morning.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - An icon in the Gaslamp is set to close its doors for good at the end of the year.
Croce's restaurant and jazz club on 5th Avenue has been an iconic downtown hotspot for nearly three decades.
Jim Croce's took one look at the historic Keating Building on 5th Avenue, and told his wife Ingrid -- this is the spot for your restaurant.
Two months later, Jim died in a plane crash, but his wife eventually opened that restaurant as a tribute to Jim and his music.
"There's no other place in the city where you can find the music that we have, it's jazz, it's blues... The best musicians in town come to play here," said Croce's restaurant manager Alex Glanzman.
Croce's opened in 1985, well before the Gaslamp was known for trendy nightclubs and great restaurants. And while many places have come and gone since then, Croce's, anchored by amazing musical talent and great food, managed to survive until now.
"This is the foundation for the Gaslamp, that's what's to be remembered, it's the foundation," said customer Dorothy Annette.
An ongoing lease dispute is forcing Croce's to close its doors for good December 31st. The two sides negotiated for more than two years.
Exactly why those talks recently broke down for good, is unclear. But Ingrid Croce gave her staff the bad news Saturday.
"I had no plans for leaving this place anytime soon," said Glanzman. "It's going to be a different feel in that restaurant for sure... She wants a different look - a different style."
Ingrid Croce is in the process of opening a new restaurant in the Bankers Hill area. And while many of the employees may now move to that spot, it will not replace Croce's.
"I've come to the resolution now in my own heart and soul that ... You know, I've done everything I possibly could to ... To get this lease and if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be," said Ingrid.
In a statement, Keating Building Co-Owner Edward Kaen told News 8, "We love Ingrid and will miss her, but she was the one that decided not to accept the terms that were given to her. We are not making her leave, she has made that decision."

From me to you, strong female roles.
30th June
I'm not one of those women who will stand on a table with a copy of Superman burning in her right hand and a pair of slacks in her left, but this being said, I do believe completely in equality of the sexes, and all that jazz. I am a woman, and proud, but sometimes I'd really like to see more strong female roles in the books I read. I wouldn't say the situation is terrible, but I do find myself getting very attached to the female roles I do admire. For this, I share with you, my top five books/series with strong female roles:

It's been an undertaking to get it all put together, but I'm happy to say it's going well and starting to feel like home. We've seen a lot of old friends and new faces since we moved and I'd like to extend a hearty "Thank You" to all who have visited!

Hobbitses Inspired Fantasy Comic List
16th December
Who here hasn't seen The Hobbit yet? If you've answered "no", then you're doing it wrong. Fantasy epics of that quality don't come along often enough for my taste. Add to the fact that the combination of 3D and a framerate of 48fps create a technological masterpiece and you're in for a good time. Although, since they're stretching out a single book (smaller than any title in the Lord of the Rings trilogy) into a trilogy, I definitely find myself wanting for more. And yes, I'm one of those few fools who hasn't read the actual book of The Hobbit.
Of course I can always go ahead and read the rest of the actual book to get my fix but you know what that's missing? Pictures. So, in honor of The Hobbit and all its fantastical creatures I'll be going through … Read More »

Something for Everypony Here!
29th November
I want to preface this with some information for all of you. I consider myself something of a pop-culturist. I like to immerse myself in all that is new and exciting in pop culture. I like to try all that I can, no matter how weird or out of the ordinary it sounds. I read the first book of Twilight and saw some of the movies because I wanted to just know about it, and didn't feel right mocking something I knew nothing of. I like Godzilla, I like Mega Man X and I love Batman. It's this trait that I think makes me a good "nerd". I'll try anything at least once whether it be comics or movies or whatever and this gives me a database of knowledge about pop culture that I pride myself on. I guess I'm … Read More »

"Dah dah dah DAT dah dah! Charge!" The stadium roared with the excitement of 30,000 Red Sox faithful. It is my first Red Sox game at the ancient living monument - Fenway Park. On this model of a summer's day, the grass seems a little greener, the sky a little bluer, and the sun a little brighter. The whole structure of this ballpark seems to come alive as it complements the beauty of nature's elements.
To my four-foot-stature, many years ago, the "Green Monster"(the infamous left-field wall) did seem quite a beast. My eyes were fixed on the 30-foot barricade, and I could not imagine how any person could hit a small cork and leather ball over this Green Monster with only a yard-long wooden stick. Every home run seemed like a Herculean blast when seen flying over The Wall. Surprisingly, the Green Monster was not the only aspect of this perfect park that I noticed that day.
My stare of wonderment shifted from left field to the plush green turf of the out-field grass, where each blade seemed cut according to some exact specification, and yet at the same time was woven into one perfect carpet. The lawn was mowed in a criss-cross pattern to form a layout of diamonds. The in-field grass was made to match the out field, and, along with the perfectly groomed dirt of the in field, completed the mirage. I think that, even more than the diamond-cut grass, it was the dirt that made the field most like a mirage. The special blend of earth used to adorn the in field seemed to reflect the sun's light in such a way that the coming sunset could almost surely be recognized by a glance at the base paths. Not only was the field right out of a fairy-tale dream, but so was the game.
I do not remember much about the specifics of the game, but I do remember the important details of every Red Sox game. First was the awe experienced when first seeing the field, whether it's your first time visiting or you are the proud owner of season tickets. Next I remember asking all my baseball heroes for autographs before the game while watching batting practice. After that, when the game started, there was the welcoming smell of Fenway franks, ice cream Sports Bars, and delicious brown-paper bagged cashews purchased outside the Park on Yawkey Way. There are the signature wooden seats, the old cement steps, and the rowdy bleachers. There are the retired numbers of Red Sox legends hanging high on the right field facade, bearing the memories of Doerr, Pesky, Williams, and Yastremski. I must say, though, that the thing I remember most is the general procedure of the great game of baseball, where, as one journalist once described, "it is a game where two grown men fire missiles at each other until one of their teams hits the right spots."
Yes, that is the game of baseball, America's pastime, and nowhere is it done more justice than at its true home, Fenway Park, where I was lucky enough to experience my first taste of this great game. l

An Advent Message from Bishop Mark Lawrence of South Carolina
Drape the stage with purple, and also the footlights. It is antiquities' color for royalty, and preparing for royalty is what Advent is all about (though some troupes these days are using a blue tint). It is not just that we prepare the audience during this season for an annual celebration of Christ's birth, of course we do that.
What is often forgotten, however, or altogether missed by the secular stage and many non-liturgical playhouses as well, is that the first movement of Advent is to put us in mind of the Second Coming of Christ. Consequently the background music should have mystical qualities now and then. As I've mentioned on previous occasions, Advent begins with the end in mind. Therefore the opening scene trumpets Jesus' promise that he shall come again in glory at the close of the age. Wisely we begin with this reminder of how it all shall end. It's like this, if you're going to move a piano the first thing you should know before setting your shoulder to the upright is where you're going to move it. Similarly, when you begin afresh a new theatrical year the pertinent question to ask is where or at least how things are going to end up. If you know in advance the denouement of all performances and the plot of every play will climax in the reign of Christ and his kingdom on earth then it is helpful to take reconnaissance of that before writing a script for how you're going to spend your time. You don't want to miss the final curtain call because you decided to take a coffee break or made a wrong turn....
Read it all.

A Portland man hopes tips from the public will help him track down a bicycle stolen from the bike rack at the Central Eastside Lofts on Northeast Sixth Avenue and Davis Street last week.
Matthew Wood said his bike, a custom-built 2012 Giant Defy 2, had been locked up at the bike rack at the front door.
Surveillance photos from the loft show thieves casing out the bike, and later cutting the lock and walking off with it.
"It happened at 9:45 and I thought, what a brazen thing to do," Wood said. "So I was shocked, and sad more than anything."
Wood's bike has an XL frame with all custom components. It is primarily black with a red and white highlights or decals, and has black tires on silver rims.
Wood filed a police report. He also posted an ad on Craigslist.
Anyone with information on the identity of the thieves is asked to call the Portland Police Bureau.

Some might say my career is confused; I call it merely unconventional. Since devising my own undergraduate major (in environmental science), I've worked as an environmental bureaucrat, a public-interest lobbyist, and an assistant to a governor's science advisor. I've written several popular books on minority health, edited an award-winning medical journal devoted to health care for the poor, researched news images of Boston's black community, and served as senior researcher for the Emmy Award-winning PBS civil rights documentary, "Eyes on the Prize." In my doctoral dissertation at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, I explored the resilient popularity of herbalists, voodoo priests, and other traditional African-American healers in Chicago, the home—ironically enough—of the American Medical Association.
Hurricane Katrina slammed into the coast just weeks after my family and I moved to Mississippi, and the many disturbing news depictions of African-Americans from New Orleans provided a ready-made research project. Presently I'm working with a team of graduate and undergraduate research assistants to analyze the production and content of hundreds of newspaper and television images of the black community from the first days of the storm.

Mike Wallace 'grinding' as he eyes redemption
"Grinding is what he is doing more of now," Prisco wrote. "He stays after practice to work on the JUGS machine. He has added five pounds of muscle to get stronger, yet says he hasn't dropped any of his speed.
"The route running is better, more precise," Prisco added. "The adjustment of being on a new team, playing with new players, is also behind him."
Wallace will move around the formation and run more than go routes under new coordinator Bill Lazor. "This offense gives me the chance to run every single route in the route tree," Wallace said. "I get to move around. I like the speed of the offense."

It's definitely built, as you can tell, timing-wise, and trying to get you the ball and let you work in space, which I love because I can get the ball quick. It's a lot of room, and I feel like I can trust my speed to create some big plays."

Maybe the biggest complaint we've received this summer is that our mock drafts, while informative, are not realistic. Take one look at our Draft Averages and you'll see three quarterbacks going within the first 13 picks and nine in the Top 60 overall. That, some of you say, is more realistic.
This past weekend I was in Pittsburgh as part of a Fantasy Football event with 93.7 The Fan, the town's best sports talk station. As part of the event, we held a 12-team three-WR standard draft with 12 people who don't write about Fantasy sports for a living. I found the draft results interesting and thought I'd share them with you guys (and please forgive the handwriting, it's not mine ... not that mine is any good).
Some takeaways from this draft:
- Two quarterbacks in the first two rounds -- one in Round 1, one in Round 2. Again, is this realistic? Maybe it is, maybe it's not. You know your league better than me.
But what about eight quarterbacks through the first five rounds? That seems more realistic to "normal" drafts, not like ours where the majority of passers slip into Round 6 and beyond.
Remember that location counts for your drafts.
- Teams taking two DSTs. I'd rather spend one of those roster spots on a sleeper.
- But most of all, owners tend to gravitate toward players they know already and not necessarily the new names, or at least names that don't have as much buzz. Those who are prepared and recognize some sleepers will benefit.
Any other thoughts on this draft? Post them below.
Training camp is over and we're a couple weeks into the preseason. Some rookies have looked great while others have left a lot to be desired. With that in mind, here's an updated Top 55 rank list for dynasty league owners ... with this important caveat: Need is an important factor in dynasty drafts -- please adjust these rankings based on what you need for your roster over the next 2-3 years.
Sankey should end up being the Titans' top running back this year and feasibly for the next five or six seasons. It's hard to not put Watkins second on the list but Cooks' quarterback is better and the short-term return on Cooks should be greater than that of Watkins. Sammy needs a better passer. Hyde might end up stealing some good work away from
West should eventually settle in as the better back for the Browns but it won't happen so soon. Furthermore he doesn't quite have the long-term security as Hyde seems to have. But he's still a great first-round pick. I'm sold on Bortles and believe he'll eventually be a Fantasy legend once the Jaguars surround him with healthy receivers and an even better offensive line. Matthews also has a bright career trajectory so long as Chip Kelly stays with the Eagles. Ebron could take a while -- maybe a year -- to become a great Fantasy tight end. Freeman could end up fending off other running backs from a dominant workload in Atlanta. And Bridgewater should be a solid quarterback for the Vikings eventually.
These four should contribute at some point this season, making them not just short-term helpers but long-term value plays. I really like Beckham's long-term future and Williams' short-term outlook. The problem for Hill is whether or not he'll eventually be "the guy" for the Bengals. White could end up having the same issue in New England but at least one of the guys blocking him (
I've been outspoken about my fears for
In the
Newton, on the other hand, was clunky when (successfully) avoiding pressure in the pocket. Just didn't look healthy. As of now, Newton's ADP is at 84.49, the end of Round 7 in a 12-team league. I still wouldn't take him that high but I am warming up to the idea of pairing Newton with another quarterback you're not totally sold on and aiming for one of them to be your guy for most of the year. It's because of Benjamin, who looks the part of a deep threat receiver that opposing defenses have to account for. I have no problem taking Benjamin with a pick at his current ADP of 120.68 (Round 10 in a 12-team league).
Sunday's two preseason games were definitely interesting, but for varying degrees. We had four playoff teams with Denver at San Francisco and Kansas City at Carolina.
Hyde came in after Gore and had four carries for 11 yards and one catch for 9 yards. Hyde is worth drafting in Round 9.
Call it an off night for the
Whoever wins this role is worth a late-round flier. Ellington, however, remains the running back to own in Arizona.
Friday night featured four preseason games, and there was plenty of relevant action for Fantasy owners. But two stories earlier in the day carried just as much weight.

Completing the NAFTA Certificate of Origin Part 2
3/17/2003by Sue Senger | Format
for Print
Upon ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), Canada, Mexico and the United States created a uniform Certificate of Origin to certify that goods imported into their territories qualify for preferential tariff treatment.
Only importers who possess a valid Certificate of Origin can claim this preferential tariff treatment. The Certificate of Origin summarizes the claim that goods qualify as originating and should therefore receive preferential tariff treatment.
Last months article explained when a NAFTA Certificate of Origin is and isnt required. This months article explains how to complete the form. You can view a printable copy of the form at our website.
Field 1 Exporter Name and Address
Complete with the full legal name, address, country and tax identification number of exporter.
Please Note: The legal tax identification number for Fields 1, 3 and 4 depends on the country:
For US exporters/importers, this number is the employer identification number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service. If you dont have such a number, you may use your social security number.
For Canadian exporters/importers, use the employer number assigned by Revenue Canada or, if not available, the importer/exporter number assigned by Canada Customs.
For Mexican exporters/importers, use the federal taxpayers registry number (RFC).
Field 2 Blanket Period
Complete Field 2 if the certificate covers multiple shipments of identical goods described in Field 5 that are imported into a NAFTA country for a specified period of up to one year (blanket period). From is the date upon which the certificate becomes applicable to the good covered by the blanket, and it may be prior to the date of signing this certificate.
Field 3 Producer Name and Address
Complete with the full legal name, address, country and legal tax identification number of the producer. If you do not wish to disclose the producers name to the importer, it allows exporters to state Available to Customs Upon Request.
Field 4 Importer Name and Address
State the full legal name, address, country and legal tax identification number of the importer. If the importer is not known because the certificate is being prepared by a producer at the exporters request, state unknown. If there are multiple importers, such as when the shipment is sent to a distribution center in-bond and goods are withdrawn by various importers, state various.
Field 5 Description of Good(s)
Provide a full description of each good. The description should be sufficient to relate the good to the invoice description and the Harmonized System (HS) description of the good. It is the exporters responsibility to ensure that the description of goods covers only those goods that qualify under the rules of origin.
Field 6 HS Tariff Classification Number
For each good described in Field 5, identify the HS classification to six digits. Note: NAFTA General Note 12 may require that some goods need an eight-digit classification numbers. If this is required, the eight-digit number is the classification number of the country importing the good.
Field 7 Preference Criteria
This field identifies the origin criterion used as the basis of the preferential treatment. The criterion cited in this field is the foundation of the importers claim. You can review my article Determining the origin of goods for NAFTA - Part 2 for more information about determining the proper preference criteria.
Field 8 - Producer
This field identifies the source of the Certificate of Origin information. If the exporter is not the producer, the exporter must identify the basis for completion of the document. For each good described in Field 5, state yes if you are the producer of the good.
If you are not the producer, state no followed by 1, 2 or 3:
Field 9 Net Cost
For each good described in Field 5, indicate no unless regional value content was used for NAFTA determination. Indicate NC if the net cost method was used.
Field 10 Country of Origin
This field relates to eligible tariff preference and should be reviewed based on the country to which the shipment is destined. Identify the name of the country (MX or US for agricultural and textile goods exported to Canada; US or CA for all goods exported to Mexico; or CA or MX for all goods exported to the United States to which the preferential rate of customs duty applies as set out in Annex 302.2, in accordance with the Marking Rules or in each partys schedule of tariff elimination.
For all other originating goods exported to Canada, indicate appropriately MX or US if the goods originate in that NAFTA country, within the meaning of Annex 302.2 and any subsequent processing in the other NAFTA country does not increase the transaction value of the goods by more than seven percent; otherwise indicate JNT for joint production.
Field 11 Contact Information
This field must be completed, signed and dated by the exporter. When the certificate is completed by the producer for use by the exporter, it must be completed, signed and dated by the producer. The date indicates when the certificate was completed and signed.
The person who signs this declaration must be knowledgeable about the companys products and have authority to commit the exporter. Custom authorities may question certification signed by clerks and others in the company who are neither knowledgeable nor authorized to represent the exporter.
All eleven fields must be filled out correctly. If an exporter or producer in the United States completes and signed a Certificate of Origin and has reason to believe that the certificate contains information that is incorrect, they have 30 calendar days to notify in writing all persons to whom the certificate was given of any changes that could affect the accuracy or validity of the certificate.
NAFTA defines a strict standard for rules of origin and procedures needed to define which goods are eligible for preferential tariff treatment. (See my seven-part series of articles reviewing the NAFTA rules of origin.)
Streamlined procedures are outlined for importers, exporters and manufactures of the three member countries, consisting of uniform resolutions to ensure continuity. Before a exporter or producer completes a certificate of origin, they must be certain that their products meet these standards.

Pours a bright orange color, slightly cloudy, with a thin head.
Aromas are of light hops. Some citrus, as well as a bit of bready malts.
Taste is toasty and creamy up front. General sweetness, with hints of earth hop spiciness mixed in. Finish is crisp and dry, with some more hops sprinkled in.
Mouthfeel is good. Not heavy, and well carbonated.
Drinkability is also good. This is a pretty good example of the style. And scores extra points here for being flavorful, and still very sessionable at 4.5% ABV.

Look: copper, bright, can see through barely.
Smell: butterscotch, tofee, peanut butter
Taste: wheat bread, peanut, macadamia or even cashews. actually quite interesting and tasty.
Mouth: thick, leaves a good presence.
Drink: not my thing really, good esb but not best, would be great in winter.

Silver Moon calls Badlands Bitter their session beer and I would have to agree. Easy to drink, not too bitter, and a low ABV make this a thirst quencher. They also call it an Extra Special Bitter but I feel it falls short of this style and is more in line with a Best Bitter or Ordinary Bitter.
Unfortunately a little cheese in the hops and some slight acetaldehyde. Fortunately, some nice citrus and caramel come forward as well. Not quite enough hop presence for an ESB.
Decent sized white pillowey head caps this light amber colored brew. Only the slightest of haze is present. Decent lacing...this beer just looks sessionable.
Well balanced with enjoyable malt sweetness in the middle that I looked forward to with every sip. There is some pleasant fruitiness too in this light to medium bodied brew. The body is too light for an ESB. Carbonation is light as the style dictates.
Tasty smooth bitterness lingers for a bit but does not overstay its welcome.

4.05/5 rDev +10.1%
Hazy amber with a very small white head. Fair amount of lacings. Aroma is faint malts.
Taste is dirty bitter hops with just enough dark malt to balance this beer. Carbonation is minimal and the finish is dry. Very bold flavors for such a low abv. Good session beer.

First, the correct abv is 4.5%, which makes this a great session drinker. On tap this pours a tea colored copper. Clear and has a thin head.
Bitter malt in the aroma. The bitterness is not over the top, but balances nicely with the caramel and other malty characteristics. A tad yeasty and grainy, with a short dry finish. A bit of woodiness comes into the aftertaste.
One hell of good brew. After three of them, I felt like I could keep going, which is hard to say for most of the micros around town.

3.15/5 rDev -14.4%
Note: this review is a bit dated as the brewery has since relocated and adapted to a new brewing system.
Served on tap at what will soon be their former location on Division St., Badlands Bitter has an unusual iced-tea and lemon flavor that shifts abruptly towards a tinny bitterness. Its also the color of iced tea, with beautiful clarity and a scant head with persistent carbonation.
This is a relaxed beer with no lace and a light yeasty aroma. The mouthfeel however is voluptuous and full.

When the phrase "celebrity home" is brought up, what normally comes to mind? Maybe a sprawling mansion in the Hamptons or an ultra-posh suite at the Chateau Marmont? Sheryl Crow's New York loft is everything that wouldn't normally be expected by a star of her caliber. The chic, yet cozy, industrialized loft in the city has a vintage design scheme. Crow chose to incorporate family memorabilia throughout, as well as other gems she found while shopping online.
In her bathroom, Crow opted to add a well used claw foot bathtub for a unique and romantic look, however, she admits it serves more purpose as a decoration since she rarely uses it. Tying in with the vintage scheme is a single bare bulb pendant light. Minimalist lights like these were used all across the U.S., mostly in factories and warehouses. Currently on vintagebarnlighting.com we have one that looks just like Cheryl's – our Crouse-Hinds Acorn Industrial Light. This is the perfect ceiling light, offering up the same industrial styling as her own bathroom pendant. Be sure to add a vintage Edison Light Bulb to complete the look!
Lining the hallway's brick wall, she chose vintage Holophane Glass Pendants to hang from the high ceilings (look closely at the far right photo). She staggered their height to bring interest to the art and accessories that line the area. The cord hung holophane glass pendants come fully equipped with a brass or polished nickel socket of your choosing, as well as your choice of cotton twist cord color and length. This makes these vintage barn lights ready to install as soon as you receive them – talk about convenience!
Don't worry if the shade you love gets snagged up – our stock is always changing. We are constantly adding new finds to our collection of holophane glass, as well as milk glass and cased glass lighting, so keep your eyes peeled for new additions!

GL, HF - A Rant About How We Communicate In Games
Hey guys, here's a (sort of long) post I submitted to my blog a couple of days ago and would love to know what you guys think. It's sort of just a rant and was written at 2am so might be a little nonsensical, but either way, I hope someone enjoys it. ..
"Hey, GL HF" I say (or rather, type) as the game starts, 5 SCVs idling next to my Command Center. There's a certain etiquette in Starcraft II that is sacred.
"Why do you say that? It's ridiculous. Use some manners for god's sake!" I see appear below my own words. My SCV's are now mining for minerals, the precious blue rocks that will soon form the backbone of my military triumph. My opponent went on to tell me abbreviating is for commoners and to use real, full words when talking to his highness of douchebagland.
"I'm sorry? That WAS good manners. Good Luck, Have Fun. It would have been bad manners if I didn't say anything." One little SCV goes north and starts building a supply depot. Another's training is complete. It goes to join it's colleagues with the hasty mining.
I don't hear anything back from my friend on the other side of the map. Comms went silent, if you will. Thank god, I thought, I can't lose any more time. Every keystroke in the chat is one away from building my army. Every moment not building my army is one my rude opponent gains. Every second counts.
Starcraft has a pretty hardcore community of followers. A group who have learned the subtleties of quick-typing acronyms and abbreviations to communicate efficiently. There's a set of rules that is never really told. It's like some kind of secret, an open secret that everybody knows and newcomers learn without knowing it. I know that the PC gaming community is generally more mature and defined than it's console sibling, but it still amazes me how polite and cool everybody I've met through playing Starcraft can be.
Being 25, born in 1987, I have been witness to some incredible jumps in gaming tech, from my first console (SEGA Game Gear – in my opinion far superior to the Game Boy Colour), through the Super Nintendo to the golden age of the original PlayStation and it's incredibly well-received PlayStation 2. In those days, there weren't many ways to play against friends, let alone spoilt 12-year-olds from Orange County with too much Mountain Dew surging their veins. You had to call your buddies, get them to bring some Pepsi Maxx and snacks and play against them, face to face (sort of) in the same room. In that situation there was always the odd "Fuck you, man. That was my kill" or maybe something like "DIE YOU FUCKING FUCKER FUCK!" But you were all friends, and it was all in the name of good fun. Arguably it wasn't until the launch of Microsoft's XBOX Live service that you could connect with someone around the world and shout those expletives at a total stranger on a console. The PlayStation 2 had some online connectivity but let's face it. It was rubbish.
And so it became part of pop culture. It became acceptable to scream many bad words down a crappy mic at some n00b who was camping on top of a building, and happened to snipe your ass from 200 metres away.
I know this happens on the PC too, but the simple fact is most 12 year olds can't afford to keep their computers updated enough to run the popular games. Console refreshes only happen every 5 years, so it's much easier on their (or should I say their poor parents') wallets. They get bought an Xbox 360 and a copy of Gratuitous Violent War Sim 4 for their birthday, undoubtedly after their parents have told off the poor sales assistant in Game for informing them that shooting people repeatedly in the head might numb their child somewhat to violence. The child turns on the machine, chucks the disc in the drive and sets off down the mighty road to Fragland.
What's the first thing they hear as they load up into the first lobby? "I'm gonna kick yo ass, fag! Don't be a fucking fag!" and, "You gonna die, bitch!" My personal favourite from my years of playing Call Of Duty went along the lines of a 13-year-old American telling me, "You suck like your girlfriend sucked me last night before I fucked her!"
Unfortunately at that time I didn't have a girlfriend, but if I had, I'm sure she'd have been wholly underwhelmed by his tiny manhood and the inability to talk without his voice cracking. I carried on playing, however, and ended up utterly sucking at the whole point of the game as prophesied by LOLZTER117 (not his real Gamertag – apologies if there is a real LOLZTER117. I'm sure you're awesome), namely pointing and shooting a gun to rack up a bodycount in 15 minutes that Jack Bauer would have struggled with in 24 hours.
After this abuse from a pre-pubescent, and because I really, really suck at shooting stuff, I decided to not play such games anymore. I kind of felt that I had out-grown it and so I began the task of finding a new community to join. I had always been a fan of strategy titles, from Command and Conquer to Total War to Age Of Empires. Oh, and I forgot The Settlers. That was awesome. I love that you have time to really invest in each game. You have time to react to the different plays and watch the events unfold like a god perched on a mountaintop. I discovered Starcraft and I was hooked.
After a couple of missions on the campaign, I decided to take the plunge into the abyss of Starcraft 2′s multiplayer. Rather than shoving you in head first, the game gives you 50 unranked matches to determine how badly you play the game. Which is nice of it. I definitely wasn't great, but it didn't matter. I loved how with the right plays, the game could be won in 5 minutes, or even become an endlessly switching cat and mouse game that lasts for over an hour. I was placed in Bronze league, and quickly found my preferred race was Terran. "They're human, just like me!" I thought as I looked down on my little dudes soon to be mauled by Zerglings or zapped by Stalkers.
Everybody I played was happy to give me tips. They want you to get better, they want you to be your best because it's really fucking boring playing against someone who sucks. Yeah you get the easy kill and you go up in rank but you sort of feel guilty about it. That feeling of remorse as your band of Marauders with Level 3 Weapons takes down an army of Stalkers with no upgrades is a unique experience, and one that those kids on COD are throwing away. "They had no chance. It was like lambs to the slaughter."
I felt accepted. I felt that I was part of something more mature and lasting than the throwaway matches on my Xbox. I learned the etiquette. "GL, HF" when you join a new game, and "GG" (Good Game) when you know you're done for and want to bow out of the match before you watch your entire army get slaughtered. Who knows, maybe if you leave early the opponent's army will spare the lives of your underpowered and mismanaged forces. Does the light really go out when you close the fridge door? Am I real? I digress…
Even if you don't actually mean it, you say it anyway, because it's sort of just how it's done. It's that unwritten rule mentioned earlier, designed to keep each game respectful and peaceful (at least, as peaceful as a game can be when you're essentially wiping out an entire race. Ah, genocide, you strange and bizzare way to spend a Sunday afternoon).
I wonder if console games and the people who play them will ever reach this level of maturity. I use the word "Maturity" lightly, though. Gaming is still a relatively young medium, and we're only now entering the stage where the people making the games are the ones who grew up playing them. Who knows where such things will lead us, but I hope it's to stricter controls on age ratings and better education on basic respect from the people who manage these games' communities.
Do I still play online on consoles? Sometimes. I prefer co-op modes, such as COD's Spec-ops or a good co-operative campaign on Halo 3. No running around getting sniped by campers for me, thankyouverymuch!
As for the game with the player who gave me a mini-lecture on manners? A glitch in the system, maybe. They won, by the way. Swarmed after 5 minutes by zerglings before I could churn out my marines. I loaded some SCV's into the command centre, lifted off and made my getaway across the map before realising it was futile.
"GG" I said, hoping that the survivors wouldn't be killed once I'd left the game, that they could live on and start fresh on a new planet far away. One can only dream, but that's for another article.
Did he "GG" back? He did not. The bastard.

The case against a woman accused in a deadly hit and run over the Thanksgiving holiday is on its way to superior court.Jessica Krebs was arrested back in November. Police say she went to two different bars the night of November 27th before getting in her car and hitting 35 year old Jonathan Edwards as he walked on Johnny Mercer Blvd approaching Turner's Creek Bridge.At Wednesday's arraignment hearing, investigators said Krebs admitted to having two glasses of wine at the Flying Fish, then went to the Crow Bar where she had two beers. She then went home and called police, saying her car had been vandalized.Officers found her car windshield shattered, extensive front end damage to her car, and the hood sunken in.When police asked Krebs that night how she got home, and if she drove, investigators say Krebs answered that she "hoped she didn't drive home."

Occasionally, I've found that when doing some refactorings (especially when splitting a class for example), it can be all too easy to include redundant code. Whilst most of the time it's possible to eliminate that by a combination of careful inspection and keeping the tests green, I've found that mutation testing tools can greatly automate the process here.

We have been developing Daylight, which is a records management system for Freedom from Torture, a charity dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of survivors of torture. Due to the sensitive nature of the data being recorded, Freedom from Torture wanted a way of tracking every change that was made to records.
The application uses Entity Framework as an ORM layer over an SQL database. One option would have been to use database triggers to log changes. However, we wanted to track changes not in terms of the database model, but in terms of the application model. This allows us to then easily query the log at a later point using the same application model and make sense of it. We can directly re-hydrate the logs back into C# objects in different recorded states in a strongly typed manner.
The solution is to override the database context object's SaveChanges method. However, inside that statement is quite a lot of complexity! I have spent some time over the last few weeks extracting the logging code from the client application and the result is FrameLog, an open source logging library for Entity Framework.

Baker County-- We see drag racing glamorized in some movies. But in reality, it's illegal, dangerous, even deadly. And it may well have been drag racing that led to a fiery crash in South Georgia this weekend.
State Troopers say that the problem is getting out of hand. People who live along County Road 15 say it's become a mecca for illegal racing. "They drag over here all the time, this is a drag strip on Sundays," said Trooper Kyle Long of the Ga. State Patrol.
Thirty-one-year old Alonza Curry, of Oakfield, burned to death while trapped inside of his car. "There was fire involved, the vehicle was totally consumed by fire. He had no chance to get out of the vehicle," said Trooper Long.
Troopers say he was traveling south at a high rate of speed when he lost control of his Mustang. "From the roadway evidence we have it appears that he was on the wrong side of the road when he left the roadway on the east side here and struck a utility pole and then the tree," Long said.
The charred white Mustang was equipped for racing. It had roll bars, Nitrous Oxide, fuel cell and a high powered engine. "Racing on the streets is definatley illegal. Even the participation, the crowd, everybody can be prosecuted and if we do happen to find that there was racing or their is racing we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law," said Long.
Though Curry is dead, troopers say this investigation is far from over. Troopers say they will crack down on illegal drag racing. The are urging anyone who suspects drivers are racing illegally to call their local law enforcment agency. The owner of a South Georgia race track is also mourning the death of Curry.
John Baldwin owns the U.S. 19 Dragway . He was a close friend of Alonza Curry. Baldwin says he's watched his friends race on his track dozens of times.
Now he's urging all drivers who want to race to do so legally and safely. "You see these movies like the fast and the furious and all that and they're racing on the street that's not the place to do it," said Baldwin. "Go to a race track if not here go some where. Go where there's a controlled environment where if something bad does go wrong, the people and the equipment are in place to take care of it."
Baldwin says his track is open to the public every Sunday. The track not only has a high tech computer speed tracking device, but is also equipped with guard rails, fire fighting equipment, and, on race days certified paramedics are always on hand.

"God is really only another artist. He invented the giraffe, the elephant, and the cat. He has no real style. He just keeps on trying other things."
"The artist who is not also a craftsman is no good; but, alas, most of our artists are nothing else"
"A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself."
"The artist does not tinker with the universe, he recreates it out of his own experience and understanding of life."
"While one should always study the method of a great artist, one should never imitate his manner. The manner of an artist is essentially individual, the method of an artist is absolutely universal. The first is personality, which no one should copy;"
"Technique is really personality. That is the reason why the artist cannot teach it, why the pupil cannot learn it, and why the aesthetic critic can understand it. To the great poet, there is only one method of music -- his own. To the great painter, there is only one manner of painting -- that which he himself employs. The aesthetic critic, and the aesthetic critic alone, can appreciate all forms and all modes. It is to him that Art makes her appeal."
"The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is."

The consolidate credit cards debt can be made to roll all the debts into one single debt so that you can avoid paying the multiple bills and concentrate on one single bill. The financial advisors will assist you in the process as you can repay your debts within the short period. There are many different ways of solving the debts like the debt management in which all the expenses and the income of the individual is tracked and made in the financial chart. So that the expenses can be reduced and the debts are eliminated. The next process is the debt settlement in which the financial advisor will negotiate the debts on behalf of you with the creditor in reducing the interest rates. The bankruptcy is the final option in which you don't have to pay the amounts but it creates negative impact on the individual. It will stay for more number of years as it will have the long time severe consequences.
If the individual cannot manage with the credit card debt consolidation then they can move towards the reputed credit card consolidation agency so that they provide many number of the services for the clients in reducing the stress and eliminating the debts easily. Some of the services provided by them are the credit card debt calculator, debt consolidation loans, credit card debt counseling and the credit card debt negotiation. The debt relief programs are launched effectively by the finance companies to avoid the bankruptcy process. The annual percentage rate is calculated with the debt levels before making the charges. You can have an initial meeting with the credit card companies so that you can know about the charges put forth by them. The lower interest rates are selected based on the credit history as the loans are not provided for the individuals with the bad credit history. The individuals are not allowed to apply for the other credit card without clearing the debts.

The Adbusters Apocalypse
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Please join us in a crazy, yet profound, journey into a radical new future. Imagine this... you wake up tomorrow morning and find out that the Dow Jones has just plunged 2,000 points. Trading has been halted. Over the next few weeks: Major stock markets around the world crash, Banks close, Supermarket shelves are half-empty, Power is intermittent, gasoline hard to find, email sporadic -From the editors at Adbusters
Dear Adbusters Editors,
Believe me, I am as unconvinced by capitalism as you are. Im down with even the most offensive billboard alterations, I appreciate a good sweatshop expose, and I have stood in support of many of the messages your magazine has worked to put across over the years. Really, I have. But when I received the recent invitation to join you in a crazy, yet profound, journey into a radical new future, I have to admit – I was less than impressed.
The invite, which suggested that its recipients imagine waking up tomorrow to find that:
Violent gangs and bandits roam the streets. People move to the country – if they can. Governments try to maintain order, yet it appears that the old globalized order is gone, if not forever, then for a long, long time.
The next issues of Adbusters, they tell us, is going to be compiled as if it were being published 6 months after this supposed crash. The editors, in their request for so-called Post-Crash submissions, say they can see a chance to create the new world that we've always dreamed about.
Back up. I understand theoretical catastrophe can sometimes be sexy. Like a lightning storm right until the moment it is over your own home. And thought experiments and apocalyptic scenario-planning has been around longer than Adbusters.
Whenever I hear about the disparities between the first and third world, I am well aware that theres no way things in the West can stay the way they are. But encouraging people into an absurd mental game, to not only hope for drastic destabilization and chaos, but to assume theyd survive it with a sporadic email connection – and asking for "how-to tips" on how to kill a chicken – as their biggest concerns seems not only like an profound waste of time, it seems irresponsible.
If you work for social justice you know that most positive change happens slowly. It takes time to build movements and reconcile all the pieces. But – and Adbusters has proved this nicely – there is a big difference between making change and sitting around hoping change will happen.
This echoes what Ive heard people saying about why they dont vote: that Gore and Bush were the same, and now Kerry and Bush are just as much the same, and that theyd prefer to hang out and wait until the system crashes. This is one way to uphold the status quo: Keep people polarized around participation in "the system." Either you're with us in our vision of a 180-degree crash-and-burn turn, or you remain "part of the problem."
The fact that such an important and influential media source would take such an abstract, academic approach to change – especially at a time when many of us see participation in the system as crucial to changing it – concerns me. This goes beyond "culture jamming," beyond giving people tips on how to buy nothing or how to break up their sidewalks and plant trees.
What about the casual mention of violent gangs that will roam the streets? And who are these readers who can afford to move to the country? I saw Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. I know Im not enough like Tina Turner to survive. An apocalypse isn't the only way to attain that new world that Adbusters editors have always dreamed about.

Mental disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), constitute an important health care need of veterans, especially those recently separated from service. Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder: An Assessment of the Evidence takes a systematic look the efficacy of pharmacologic and psychological treatment modalities for PTSD on behalf of the Department of Veterans Affairs. By reviewing existing studies in order to draw conclusions about the strength of evidence on several types of treatment, the Committee on the Treatment of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder found that many of these studies were faulty in design and performance, and that relatively few of these studies have been conducted in populations of veterans, despite suggestions that civilian and veteran populations respond differently to various types of treatment. The committee also notes that the evidence is scarce on the acceptability, efficacy, or generalizability of treatment in ethnic and cultural minorities, as few studies stratified results by ethnic background.
Despite challenges in the consistency, quality, and depth of research, the committee found the evidence sufficient to conclude the efficacy of exposure therapies in treating PTSD. The committee found the evidence inadequate to determine efficacy of different types of pharmacotherapies, of three different psychotherapy modalities, and of psychotherapy delivered in group formats. The committee also made eight critical recommendations, some in response to the VA's questions related to recovery and the length and timing of PTSD treatment, and others addressing research methodology, gaps in evidence and funding issues.

Gordon Williams Blackwell
Biographical/Historical abstract:
Gordon Williams Blackwell (1911-2004) served as Chancellor of Woman's College of the University of North Carolina (WCUNC, now The University of North Carolina at Greensboro) from 1957 to 1960.
Additional contributor:
This four-page speech by Chancellor Gordon William Blackwell was delivered on February 9, 1960 and addresses Blackwell's concerns about WCUNC student involvement in the sit-ins that began the previous week. Blackwell states that the sit-ins were a bad idea and that student participation resulted in a negative perception of the university by some members of the community. He also mentions the "threat of violence" and suggests that student participation may have inflamed the issue. Blackwell closes by encouraging students not to participate in any public demonstration over the issue.

The fourth installment in Michael Bay's "Transformers" franchise is shooting in places like Elgin, Taylor, Lockhart and Pflugerville.
On Wednesday, downtown Taylor became a movie set…and a lot of people came to see some behind the scenes action – like a car chase scene on the overpass.
"Usually it's a small place. But now its way more bigger and people are coming from Hutto, everywhere. It draws a large crowd," said Christopher Velasqez.
Sue Worthy owns Abbe's Treasure Trove in downtown. Throughout the day she's been locking the place up and sneaking over to take a peek.
"I think it is awesome. I think it's brought Taylor a lot of people over here checking out different businesses. Some people didn't even know these businesses were down here. It's been crazy. It's been really, really cool," Worthy said.
But not all business owners are thrilled…like Miguel Espitia with L.L. Impressions.
He says parking was a pain and getting to his shop wasn't great either.
"Sometimes you couldn't even get to the sidewalk because they would stop people until it was over with or whatever. Usually it was about 20 or 30 minutes," Espitia said.
They also had to change their plans for the day.
"Yes, we were going to do a photo shoot and what happened is that we had to turn a couple of our models away because sometimes they wouldn't let our models go through," Espitia said.
Lance Morales was pretty excited about seeing some Transformers action, but it was hard to get to his favorite restaurant.
"You can't get to Taylor Café! That's my hot spot. Yeah, then we actually parked under the bridge, over there on the east side and they wouldn't let us walk across…and we're actually like late for work," Morales said jokingly.
Morales says he hopes his boss will understand because he ran into the star himself – Mark Wahlberg.
"He was a pretty big dude, I'm not gonna lie. He was about my height and he was a pretty big dude, pretty stout. I think I could take him in an arm wrestling match though," Morales said.
Transformers 4 opens next summer.

After what was rather crazy Winter Meetings at the Happiest Place on Earth (next to the one we have in California) it seems like Kevin Towers followed through his words as he revamped the bullpen quite a bit. Well, not a bit but a LOT. With a trade he has made along with free agency signing and rule 5 pick up, it seems like the Diamondbacks bullpen is taking shape. Coming into the season, Towers did not shy away from stating that retooling the major's worst bullpen was his main priority. I'm not sure if it's because of his renowned ability to pick the best relievers off anywhere or because I've seen the horrendous performance put together by last year's group, I have a sense of trust that I have in the names that he brought in. So to continue my last post on rotation projection, I went to ever so interesting Bill James projections of fangraphs to put together the projection for our bullpen. Without further adieu, here are the projections.
*Note that few likely member of our bullpen such as Kam Mickolio, Joe Paterson, and Mike Hampton's projections are not available due to uncertainty of them being in the majors next season for significant time when the projection came out.
**Also note that projection for David Hernandez and J.J. Putz is if they had stayed with the Orioles and White Sox, respectively. Hernandez's number should be better than what it's projected since he won't be pitching in the AL East (no disrespect to the NL West opponents) and since it includes few starts and not al relief appearances.
CL - J.J. Putz
SU - Juan Gutierrez
SU - David Hernandez
MID - Sam Demel
MID - Brian Sweeney
For your information, do you know that average weight and height of our members of the projected bullpen (Putz, Hernandez, Gutierrez, Demel, Sweeney, Mickolio, and Paterson) is 218 pounds and 6 feet 3 inches? Take out the smallest guy (Sweeney at 185 pounds) and the average weight jumps to 223 pounds. Gracie got his early Christmas gift from Towers.
