ETOX says: Works perfectly so long as no other background processes are running.
ETOX says: Like Baldurs Gate, works perfectly.
ETOX says: This game works but needs to be on the lowest settings once you exit the space station.
ETOX says: Amazingly it actually runs on high.
ETOX says: Runs and actually looks quite nice. Aside from Morrowind it's probably the only first person RPG you'll be playing on the Dell Mini unless you jump into Daggerfall or Arena.
ETOX says: Of course this game works, what did you expect?
ETOX says: Loads to the menu...then works perfectly
ETOX says: It's a little slow but it is quite playable. The game has small font anyway, which means you may have to squint or get someone to read the font for you.
ETOX says: Whether or not it's worth it will be a matter of great debate, but it does run.
ETOX says: I would imagine that it slows down a bit in the later levels, but it does run quite well for the few levels I played.
ETOX says: If this doesn't run, you have a problem.
ETOX says: See above.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

I am looking for information about Maria Wykoff Cummins who married (1) Lewis Rape in 1835 in Preble County, Ohio and (2) Jacob Bender. She survived both husbands and can be found with her son Lafayette Rape in the 1880 census in Adams County, Indiana. The census information says she was born in 1808 in New Jersey. Her father was born in New Jersey and her mother was born in New York. In the household also is Jane Commings and her child Thadeus. Jane is listed as a half sister. Family tradition says that Maria's father was William Cummins, but no documentation. There were William Cummins listed in censuses for Warren, Miami and Hamilton County OH in 1820 and 1830. Can anyone help me connect the dots?

Marines to patrol Boat Race course
Royal Marines will patrol the River Thames today to make sure there is no disruption to the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.
Organisers are trying to stop any repeat of last year when the annual race was stopped by Trenton Oldfield, who swam into the path of the crews.
The race's Executive Director, David Searle, said: "We are taking additional measures this year and have reviewed all of our actions last year in detail.
"The Boat Race course is four and a quarter miles long so we have eight and a half miles of riverbank to manage and monitor.
"What I would say to anybody thinking of disrupting the race is that it's unbelievably dangerous. You risk injuring yourself, the crews and the other people following the race.
"Nobody wants that to happen. This is just a sporting event."

Physicians Weight Loss Centers pepper the nation, doling out slim-down tips honed during the course of three decades in business. Each center staffs a physician who, in tandem with a team of skilled counselors, selects one of six weight-loss and lifestyle programs to guide each client toward his or her desired results. The center?s sextet of plans are tailored to those who prefer not to exercise, those who travel often, those who cook at home, and those who cook in nonfunctional stage kitchens. Patients chat with their counselors often, soaking up the tips the staffers have learned from continual training programs. Clients are encouraged to build a bond with their counselor, as camaraderie not only eases the process but also improves one?s chances of finding a lifelong three-legged-race partner.

View Member's Race Log View other race reports
I got stuck behind a raft on first turn and couldn't get around. I was so nervous and had little sleep. These conditions mixed with my medication cause severe nausea half way through the swim course. Tougher it out.
What would you do differently?:
I will definitely pay attention to what is around me and make sure im ahead of any rafts before i get to buoys. Sleep and skip meds before a race.
Transition 1
Was just trying to keep my breakfast down.
What would you do differently?:
RUN faster to my transition post!
Couldn't keep track of my speed because my computer sensor fell off and way dangling on my axle the whole ride. Didn't think I was doing to bad as I was passing a lot people. Thought I was making up time lost in the swim. See time after race proved otherwise but that what I get for not training sufficiently on the bike.
What would you do differently?:
Check equipment better before race! Train harder.
Transition 2
Damn it's was hard getting off that bike and running. I was so slow. Good news, I started to feel better half way through the run and was able to drink some water without feel of vomiting. I think I could half walked faster than I was running, then I tried that and I was wrong. I walked much slower then my trot. I didn't think that was possible. Finished the race with my grandson, Lucas, running ahead of me showing me how to cross the finish line.
What would you do differently?:
Just train more AND do more brick training. Oh wait, that means I would of had to ridden my bike. Ah, I think I see the problem.
Post race
What limited your ability to perform faster:
Lack of adequate training and my weight.
Event comments:
Had a blast. I will do it again. I now have a time to beat. Next year I want to slaughter this years time. Next year, I run for me! The whole course, I will run, run, RUN!

RUSTON -- Not only will fans have the chance to see the Bulldogs take on the defending National Champions Fresno State this weekend, but they will also have the opportunity to attend a carnival, win prizes and receive free food during March of Dimes Weekend at J.C. Love Field at Pat Patterson Park.
All fans on Friday will receive a special buy one, get one free discount on their tickets. Prior to the start of the game, residential life will be holding a free carnival for students, children and families from 4 to 6 p.m. behind the outfield wall at the ballpark. The event will feature free food, games, activities, prizes and much more.
Also on Friday, the March of Dimes Foundation will be on hand passing out information and collecting donations. During the game, LA Tech staff will be raffling off a free golf lesson at Squire Creek Golf & Country Club with all proceeds benefiting the foundation.
"Free Hot Dog Friday" sponsored by Super 1 Foods in Ruston returns tomorrow. Fans will have the option to pick up a free hot dog as they enter the main entrance of the stadium, while supplies last.
Before the 7th inning stretch on Friday, three fans will be chosen to participate in a hot dog eating contest. The hot dogs will be provided by Randy and Tracie Snow, owners of Tiny Tots Day Care in Ruston.
On Saturday, all kids 12 and under will receive free admission to both games and have the chance to receive a free popsicle courtesy of Super 1 Foods in Ruston, while supplies last. Members of the military will receive half-off admission with their military ID. Also, autographed baseballs by the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs will be raffled off throughout the day with all proceeds benefiting March of Dimes.
One free Papa John's Pizza will be given to the loudest fan in the stands and select fans will have the chance to participate in Bulldog Trivia to win a prize all weekend long.
Louisiana Tech and Fresno State will begin their four-game series Friday at 6 p.m. The two teams will then play a doubleheader Saturday with the first game beginning at 1 p.m. The second game of the doubleheader will follow approximately 45 minutes after game one concludes. Both teams will wrap up the series Sunday with the first pitch scheduled for 1 p.m.
For more information on March of Dimes Weekend, contact Tech's marketing department at 318-257-2599.

So the other day I was browsing SNY Why Guys and saw this article. When I first read it I thought it was an unrealistic idea that would never happen. But I thought about it a bit more and I'm starting to like it more and more. I am a bit shaky on the details of some of these international signings such as can you pay a higher annual salary in the minors and some other aspects. But, how I understand it the new cap doesn't come into affect until July. From what I have read on Soler a 5 year contract with a value around 20 million should get it done. I don't know if it could be broken down as 4 mil per year or if there would have to be a large signing bonus. But either way I think the Mets should be interested. They still have some more room in their budget, what would you rather see them do spend it on some bench guys for a season that is unlikely to be successful, or invest in the future?
Now onto why it would be a great value for the Mets. I have read that Soler is comparable to Bubba Starling and that he would be a top 20 prospect. If you use this article a value of a top 25 hitting prospect is 25 million and Soler would definitely be a top 25 hitting prospect. Further, when I was reading Sickel's article 2 things stood out.
1. The lack of elite talent.
2. The strength of pitching and weakness in hitting talent.
Soler would fix this, he would probably be graded an A/A- by Sickels. This would give us a very strong farm, comparable to the Nats post Gio trade imho. In addition, I have read that Soler will need 800-1000 AB in the Minors. That would conservatively put him in line for a call up in 2014. In 14 we will have some outfield openings too, and it will be around when our pitchers are ready to go. I think the Mets should definitely give Soler a call. What do you think?

I am here to express my concerns with the forwards of the New York Islanders for the upcoming season. I'm sorry for everyone who is foolishly optimistic. I hope you have all learned to curb your expectations in a realistic sense by now. I apologize if this is too realistic (perhaps pessimistic, at times) for anyone. Please, prove me wrong.
JT91- gold Jerry, gold. (100-113-213 and he breaks Gretzky's record. all my friends envy me and my islander loyalties. John Tavares becomes a publicly traded company blowing the Facebook IPO out of the water. In doing so, a new arena is magically built by the joyful tears of islander hopefuls a la jack and the beanstalk.)
Moulson- i don't expect another 30 goal year. i say 20 goals, 25 assists, frustrations, and by midseason we call for him to be demoted to the 2nd line.
Boyes- see Moulson. (15-23-38)
Frans- i love frans. i think he does what he always does, nothing more, nothing less, and by the end of the day we all have the same amount of love for him. still, he belongs on the third line but we have to wait until strome matures to see that day. (17-40-57)
KO- i think he has a breakout year. plays some time on the top with JohnnyT and finally we have another player worth mentioning to other hockey fans. (30-25-55)
Grabs- i think his rookie year was a fluke, but i also think he went through a sophomore slump. I think 20-25 goals is his cap. (23-20-53)
Cizikas- love this guy. hustles, hits, underrated passer and will breakout on the PK (10-25-35)
Bailey- hear me out....time on the power play with KO and JT91 will display his talent. Being on a line with Ullstrom and Cizikas will spread the ice. i expect big things. (20-30-50) I'm a bailey believer. I'm a baileber.
Ullstrom- i love this guy. seriously, our third line (if i was Captain Jack) could do some serious damage this year if they are coached correctly and given enough ice time. Ullstrom has a shot and a half. (17-20-37)
Reasoner- ugh. (3-7-10)
Martin- fan favorite. should be on the PK more. love this guy (7-7-14)
Boulton- (3-1-4)
Joensuu- (2-0-2)
Pros: great years from okposo, bailey, ullstrom, and tavares
Cons: boyes and moulson stick out in the wrong way
meh- everyone else.
don't get me started on our defense. seriously. don't.

Debate with Chris, Part 3 – By Godless Teen
December 17, 2012 in Answers, General
So, before I go on to see how Chris did answering the questions I gave him in my last post, let's cut to the beginning of his long and overly detailed rant, shall we?
ME – Too bad you have to stomp off…I actually thought you were better than that…
YOU – "Well, dear, that was rather rude. I'm not sure what position you're in to tell me that I'm a bad person when you're the one making such rude comments."
I'm not sure how you get to this conclusion based on what I said – by "better than that" I meant that you were one to actually defend your position and not just stomp off when you fail to do so.
That's all.
That you read more into that speaks to YOU and your thoughts – not mine.
If you weren't meaning to flat-out insult me, and be rather rude, you should've made it clearer. By taunting me because I should've been "better than that", you're only insulting me, not attacking my position.
" Also, at least I don't claim that Christians are, by nature, immoral, or necessarily even the cause of immoral activity in this world… "
Not sure what this is in regards to – this is statement that was unneeded and addresses what?
Nothing we were talking about.
"Sure, I believe that Christianity is bad, but Christians are not by nature bad. Even the ones who kill their child for being possessed by demons (though that's really stretching things): although they still ought to be punished to discourage such behavior, the parents were likely to be legitimately concerned for their child, whom they sincerely thought was possessed by demons. That's not their fault, necessarily. That's irrationality's fault."
Okay, no issue there – but again, have no idea what you are trying to address/defend here.
I'll get back to this later in my post. For now, let it suffice that, yeah, I actually did have a point to saying all that.
That out of the way, let's get to your questions for me – then I'll address the remainder of your post.
"1. So, uh… What evidence did you have for your god existing, again? Because, if I remember correctly, you never even once presented any. Jus' sayin'." No I didn't present any evidence as we were not talking about it. We were discussing YOUR moral code, NOT the existence of God. I'm not, however, going to address this here – it's a longer topic and really deserves it's own discussion. But again, I didn't present any during our discussion because we weren't discussing God – we were discussing YOUR moral code and it's issues.
Ok, Chris, congratulations. You've pointed out the obvious, that we were talking about my moral law and nothing else… For the most part… Even though I did write, multiple times, that there was no evidence for his god even existing, and you never objected even once…
So, I'm sick of all the crap. Cut to the chase. I want your evidence for your god now. I'm sick of you continously trying to attack me and then completely avoiding questions like this one because "it's a longer topic". News flash, Chris: I've spent hours writing because of you, wasting my precious time on a piddly little theist like you who won't even answer my questions. So, this is your last chance. I'm offering you the opportunity to email any evidence for your god that you have to me now, otherwise, I'll just assume you don't have any.
"2. What is your idea of the "moral law"? Why should we follow it?"
A two part question – or really two questions.
2A. A moral law is the basis of which right/wrong are determined OBJECTIVELY. That's is to say, these rules of right/wrong exists whether or not we believe in them, or whether or not we like them. And they exists no matter where we are – IE the moral laws on Earth, exist all over the universe.
In addition to being OBJECTIVE – they are based on an actual moral authority. Not subjective whim of us fallible humans. But an infallible, perfect, moral authority.
So what is the moral law that I follow? The one Jesus gave us – 1) Love God, 2) Love your neighbor, 3) Love your enemy.
In short: love.
2B. So why should we follow it? Because doing so offers us the fullness of life. Because to truly combat evil in the world, the weapon is love. Hate? Love. Anger? Love. If you, as I believe you do, wish the world to be a better place, the only way is love.
They are based on an actual moral authority, like your god, who you've provided no evidence for?
Not to mention, why do you believe that this source has to be a conscious, sentient source? Happiness doesn't think; it doesn't speak; yet, it's an ingrained part of us, and all actions that we say are moral nowadays appear to follow just the same moral law that I wrote about earlier, where the main authority is happiness. I see no reason why it should be based on a god.
Also, happiness is not the "subjective whim of us fallible humans". If it was, that would imply that a rational person could go from being happy not being hurt one day to being happy by cutting his or her arm off the next. Of course, we don't see such behavior in our world, because the happiness/pain mechanism keeps us from doing any such thing to ourselves.
Anyhow, I fail to see how basing our moral authority on "fallible human beings" is even a bad thing in the first place. Everything that we do has some degree of fallibility. When we observe something, we are using the faith that our senses accurately reflect the world. We use the faith that food will help us, based on past observations based on possibly fallible human senses. Yet, Chris doesn't criticize those areas of our lives. The same could apply to morality: perhaps happiness isn't Da Truth, Da Truth, and Da One and Only Truth (TM of Religion, Inc.), but we have decided, as human beings, that it's likely to be pointless to act as if we don't experience happiness, see things, and the like.
Also, although love is certainly a nice thing, it can't solve every moral dilemma; personally, I believe it's just an offshoot of happiness. For example, we would say that it's ok for someone to destroy a rock (as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others), but the concept of "love" doesn't explain this. On the other hand, happiness does; if we desire to destroy a rock, and destroying it will make us happier, then it is within our rights to destroy that rock, as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others. So love really can't solve every moral dilemma; it doesn't solve for the ideas of vacations, movies, playing video games, and such. On the other hand, happiness does.
Not to mention… If there's anybody that teaches love, it certainly isn't God, nor Jesus. I find it difficult to believe that a mass murderer, who drowned millions of people and animals, knows anything about "love". Nor the guy that ordered two bears to rip 42 children in half. Nor the guy who said that we should stone homosexuals. Nor the guy who condemned the Pharisees for not murdering a disobedient child, in violation of God's alleged law.
"3. You seem extremely concerned about my idea of what morality is, but hey, can you actually dig up some evidence for why you should seem so concerned? In fact, why are you so concerned? Do you sincerely believe that atheism is the cause for much of the evil (synonymous with "bad actions") that exists in this world?"
Again, multiple questions.
3A. Why should I be so concerned? Well for one, you believe that I MUST follow it. That alone is good enough reason for me to be concerned. You stated that you believe that this is a must follow by everyone (I'm assuming that includes me).
So, if I am to follow your moral code, I should know more about it and question what doesn't make sense or where it lacks.
3B Why am I so concerned? Well the above as I stated – also to see if you can actually defend your moral code. Shouldn't you be able to? Isn't that part of debating, to defend one's position?
3C. Do I sincerely believe atheism is the cause for much of the evil in this world? I have to ask, how you even came up with this question. No where have I ever stated, or hinted as such.
Atheism is no more the cause of problems than theism – it's sinful humans, period. Simple as that.
However, again, I have to wonder where you even got this notion from ANYTHING I said.
I don't believe you must follow it, I just think that rational self-interest would lead a person to want to follow it because they benefit from my moral law. To quote myself:
This will be the last part of my piece here. People might say "fair enough, live your life like that, if you want to. But why should I follow it?"
The answer is this:
If you don't want to, then don't.
Just remember one thing, though: humans all have a natural desire to be happy. If you want to try and break that rule, go ahead, but you'll certainly find yourself a hell of a lot worse off than if you had decided to follow the moral law I've defined here.
And apparently Chris didn't read the page I linked to, because he never once commented about it.
The last part made me laugh:
3C. Do I sincerely believe atheism is the cause for much of the evil in this world? I have to ask, how you even came up with this question. No where have I ever stated, or hinted as such.
Atheism is no more the cause of problems than theism – it's sinful humans, period. Simple as that.
However, again, I have to wonder where you even got this notion from ANYTHING I said.
Yeah, you know Chris, you totally never said anything about atheism being a root of evil…
3. Where did you pull this from? Of the theists I know, none of them would make such a claim. However, what I will argue is that goodness cannot exist without a moral giver – however I won't address it here. I would say I wouldn't call this a myth.
Oh… Well, that's just a single isolated example, it's not as if he's said anything els-
7. Root vs. motive. Quite a difference. However, as we just established above, there is no natural, true moral code in the atheistic world view so this statement is irrelevant and based on faulty logic. You can't say something is evil if there is no true standard, that is only your opinion. You also grossly ignore the atheism's contribution to atrocities such as genocide as well.
(yeah, and I totally didn't rebut that or anything in the page above him…)
Ok, well, fine, fine, maybe that's just another isolated example, but-
9. …Your lack of belief in God informs you as to what is moral and immoral…(though your morals are nothing more than opinion).
Ok, ok, ok, but that's probably just taken completely out of conte-
So, if our value is zero (all things being equal as you would want it) then what does un/happiness plus morality equal = nothing.
…Beginning to notice a pattern, Chris?
Either you tell me that atheism has been the cause of genocide, or that, you "would say [you] wouldn't call [atheists being immoral without god] a myth", or that my morals are "nothing more than opinion" (which would imply that morality doesn't really exist, and that, in an atheist's world, killing is totally acceptable), or the like. So, yeah, actually, you really seemed to heavily imply that atheists are less decent, more immoral humans than religious people.
"4. Do you just go searching through the internet to find what you believe to be vulnerable targets to bully? Cuz, hey, you decided to try and accuse a teenager of having no idea what the hell morality was (except I've studied this a lot more than other teenagers have- nice surprise, huh?). Plus, you earlier stated that you had meddled with certain atheists who had seemed rather… Lackluster in ability."
If you think this is bullying, you have an interesting idea of what it is. Not once have I called you a name, said you were stupid, swore at you, yelled…etc.
Hey, if you don't want to defend your position, then don't. But, just because someone actually puts up an offense to your position doesn't equate bullying.
You either can defend your moral code BEYOND opinion – that is, to objectivity – or you can't.
I've shown you can't. [Oh yeah, cuz I know you totally just read the entire page I wrote about morality that I linked to in the beginning of my blog post]
Not bullying, GT, and the fact you seem to think this is, again, highlights YOUR thinking.
Also, I didn't say you have no idea of what morality is…I'm showing your BASIS of morality is faulty. Quite a difference.
Instead of just reacting, try to read and understand what someone says – clearly you jump to conclusions, and without much basis.
As shown above by some of the questions you have asked me.
Bully? Hardly. A challenger? You bet – you either are up for it, or not.
Oh, you didn't swear? You're such a good Christian.
However, you did clearly declare that you thought atheists were immoral earlier, and that they were "less decent humans". Because I'm sure, at this point, that your giant ego will refuse to admit that you said something wrong, I'm guessing that you're going to say something along the lines of "oh that's not what I meant" even though it obviously was.
And probably the next thing you'll say is that you don't have a giant ego, Mister
C'mon GT – either take the challenge on or don't. But if you do, don't whine about it if you don't "win."
You either can defend your moral code BEYOND opinion – that is, to objectivity – or you can't.
I've shown you can't.
News flash, bro: you don't win in online arguments. This is just fuel for my blog, so get over it already.
Anyhow, you're being rather rude, on multiple levels, so, yeah, I'd probably call you something of a bully. But whatever; semantics, I suppose.
I thought you were interested in debates? You're not? You don't want to be challenged about what you think?
No, I'm just not interested in arguing with people who first tell me I'm an indecent, immoral slob (don't you dare tell me you never said that), and who refuse to admit that they said something that they wrote- of all places- on the Internet.
You don't think your good enough to defend your position?
No, it just seems like you're ignoring me and what I say, so I'm not sure I should even bother arguing with you, when I could serve you up to somebody a hell of a lot more intimidating and popular in the world of atheism.
If I read your blog correctly, you like to go out and challenge Christians…
Which doesn't mean me going onto other blogs and saying that "I would say I wouldn't call this a myth." when referring to people saying that "Myth: Christians are less decent, less moral, and overall worse people than believers."
You don't like it when they come to you for a challenge?
No, I'm just sick of people being jerks.
"Also, I'd just like to mention… If you think that I'm just some kind of pathetic, weak little teenage kid, I do have access to a few other atheist contacts who can reply to what you have said to me better than I have, and with more of an air of authority… So don't think you're superior to me, KK?"
Again, where do you get the notion that I think you're "some kind of pathetic, weak, little teenage kid?"
GT you really come to interesting conclusions.
If you need to go to your atheist friends for support to reply to me, by all means do so.
And where on earth do you get the notion that I am superior to you? Because I challenge you on your moral code?
Actually, yeah, cuz, in my experience, people who say that atheists don't have a moral code also then say/imply that atheists are immoral.
Again, I don't need their support, I just don't want to hear the ranting from you any more.
If you aren't a weak teenage kid, then why whine about someone challenging you? Like a teenage kid would do?
C'mon GT – either take the challenge on or don't. But if you do, don't whine about it if you don't "win."
Well, that's not a stereotype.
Whether or not you call it whining, I certainly don't refer to simply "challenging me" as the part that bothers me, but the part where "wow your morals are completely based on opinion oh and btw I totally ignored the page that you linked to that explained what your morality even is because I don't roll like that" certainly did piss me off.
And that last part… Man, talk about overconfidence.
And lastly,
"However, Chris has been extremely shady in answering questions about his own "moral law". I've asked him multiple questions, as well as put up multiple criticisms of his god and morality that is supposedly derived from that god. However, not only has he not replied to a single one of these statements/questions, he's even acknowledged that I asked those questions but then refused to answer them- supposedly because my leaving the argument was apparently a legitimate excuse for not having to answer them:"
Again, we were discussing YOUR moral code. However, you do yourself a disservice here of claiming I'm not willing to discuss my belief of a moral code when you turn right around and quote me saying:
" Now, you did ask a lot of questions – but since you're done I guess I don't have to deal with them. However, if you do wish them answered by all means ask in a separate post (to keep things in order) and we can debate them."
Oh, wait! What's that last line there?
"However, if you do wish them answered, by all means ask in a separate post (to keep things in order) and we can debate them."
Seems like I'm pretty open to debating them there GT.
The first part of the sentence is to call you out on stomping away and quitting the discussion – but like I said, ask and I'll answer.
You, because you can't clearly defend your moral code, were trying to push the argument aside – and look at the Christian moral code. This doesn't support your position, but shows that yours is lacking and you're having trouble defending it. In my not answering, I am keeping it on topic: your moral code.
Jumping to conclusions (as i pointed out in the other posts) and misrepresenting your opponent (as shown above) is not a good way to debate.
Well, let's see how you've done answering my questions:
1. Evidence for God
Didn't provide any, blamed writing it out would be too long on it, even though you've already written many thousands of words to reply to me.
2. Chris's Moral Law
He only very briefly mentioned about it: that it had something to do with "love", which, supposedly, Jesus taught. Of course, it's not quite like the page I wrote about morality, but, pfft, who cares, right?! And this "moral law" fails to explain tons of things, as I showed earlier.
3. Concern about my Moral Law
Better than his responses to the other two questions, but, then again, for the first part of my question, he completely ignored my writing, and, for the second one, he totally contradicted what he had said earlier.
4. Interest in my blog, and reasons for being a jerk
Well, first, he said he wasn't bullying/being a jerk (though he did say some stuff about atheists not having a true morality…), then he suddenly goes off on a rant that suggests that he thinks he "won" the debate, and then says that he never said I didn't know what morality was (although I defined "morality as principles concering the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior. (New Oxford American Dictionary)", and thus, saying that my basis for morality is faulty is equivalent to saying that I don't know what morality is because, by definition, there cannot be multiple versions of morality, and thus, the version of "morality" that Chris says I have is "not the true morality (TM)", and thus my morality is false and thus, because there can only be one morality, I don't know what morality is), but that my basis for morality was faulty (again ignoring the writing that I've cited about 31257868329871 times in this post). Then, he accuses me of jumping to random conclusions, despite the fact that he cites very few such alleged conclusions and that, even so, all of those conclusions were based on text that he wrote on this blog. Oooookkkkkk…
So, in other words, Chris has done a fairly crappy job answering my questions, and I'm a bit pissed off. I'm also a bit pissed off that he says that I keep jumping to conclusions when he makes statements like
Me: "Myth: Atheists are less decent, less moral, and overall worse people than believers."
Chris:"…I would say I wouldn't call this a myth."
, and then says
You also grossly ignore the atheism's contribution to atrocities such as genocide as well.
and then
However, as we just established above, there is no natural, true moral code in the atheistic world view so this statement is irrelevant and based on faulty logic.
and yet still says
Do I sincerely believe atheism is the cause for much of the evil in this world? I have to ask, how you even came up with this question. No where have I ever stated, or hinted as such.
Well, it would seem like, after implying multiple times that atheists are indecent slimeballs, that we have contributed to genocide, and that there is "no natural, true moral code in the atheistic world view" (in other words, that atheists are immoral), that, yeah, you did, at best, hinted that atheism had caused much evil, and, at worse, explicitly stated that atheism has contributed to very horrible actions.
Chris, are you actually willing to concede that, yeah, you said something wrong? That you, at the very least, implied that atheists were immoral, and regret having said that? Or are you just going to continue prancing through your fantasy land and say that you never said such a thing… When the evidence is right in front of you?

Each generation seems to have its drug of choice -- a problem for parents trying to protect their children who may not recognize the substances or new names for them. News 3 spoke with Chatham-Savannah Counter Narcotics agents today about the latest trends.
The top trend in drugs is synthetic marijuana masquerading as incense and bath salts that can be snorted or smoked. Agent Gene Harley says the best way to tell the difference between the harmless stuff and the dangerous is the packaging, "Typically these packages are going to be plastic packages about so big. They're typically going to be some type of bright color. They'll typically have the name on the front of it - whatever it is - for example, Spice, K-2, Crazy Clown. Some of them may have cartoon characters on there, and you'll see that more often than not they always say incense, and there will typically be some type of wording that says not for human consumption, not to be used as a drug, etc." All forms of the synthetic drugs are illegal. CNT works with local stores to keep it off the shelves, but another synthetic drug, popular in the 90's, is making a comeback. Agent Harley says Ecstasy now goes by the name Molly, and takes a different form, "Typically these types of substances are found in a clear gel-type capsule, and you'll see the substance, kind of be a white powdery or a brown powdery substance, so if you see this, you definitely want to kind of maybe do a little more investigating."
There's a new trend in drug parties as well, though not seen here yet. Agent Harley says "Candy Balls" are on the rise nationally, "To go to these parties they have to bring some form of medication with them. It's supposed to be in a prescription pill type form. They then take these medications, pour them into a bowl, which then gives the appearance of a candy bowl cause these are various types of colors, shades, etc. That are in this bowl, and throughout the party the kids are taking one or two or three of these pills, having no idea what it is they're taking."
Authorities say if you see anything suspicious, talk to your child. If you come across a drug or substance you are unsure of, you can contact your local authorities or CNT to help identify it.

SPORTS: Gunn girls make history with first CCS hoop title

Palo Alto was representing last night! Both teams had amazing seasons and last night's game was exciting and went down to the wire! It was terrific seeing the girls from both teams clapping for one another, hugging, and congratulating each other on their achievements. Congratulations to Paly for another strong season and best of luck in NorCal and congratulations Gunn for the 1st CCS title in school history.
on Mar 4, 2012 at 5:25 pm
Great showing by both team, who left it all on the floor at the end. Good turn out by team supporters on both sides, with spirited cheering throughout. Last year's game was a little on the physical side; this one was marked by shows of good sportsmanship and mutual respect by both teams. All in all, you couldn't ask for a better championship game or better representation of our schools. Congratulations to both teams and their families.
on Mar 4, 2012 at 9:05 pm
What a wonderful night for both schools. It was marvelous to see the administrations of Gunn and Paly hugging kids from the opposing school and the great sportsmanship displayed by all. These young ladies have now competed ferociously for at least two years, and through it, they have certainly gained a respect for each other. Their memories of this time will make them smile for years to come. We will smile with them. Those close to these young ladies and the two basketball programs know what a magical time it is for our two great schools in terms of girls basketball. And next year promises more of the same!

According to this Courier Journal article, Rick Pitino was quoted at a book signing tonight in Owensboro as saying that Chane Behanan will be back on the team, "in a short period of time," because he "told the truth" about the transgressions that led up to the violations.
The C-J article then credits Cole Claybourn of the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer for additional quotes.
Because Behanan "told the truth" in explaining undisclosed transgressions that led to a violation of university and team policy, he remained on the team, Pitino told the paper.
"The reason he's suspended and not off the team: He told the truth," Pitino said in full. "I said OK. There's going to be a penalty and a price to pay, but he told the truth. We'll get through this. Just do the right things and he'll be back on the team in a short period of time."
Full comments from Coach Pitino can be found here.
Last week Pitino indicated that Behanan, who averaged 9.8 points and 6.5 rebounds last season, would be suspended for "a long time."
It appears Behanan has done what Pitino has asked of him lately, however, and that punishment has become less severe.
"Short is relative, now," Pitino said. "I don't say in the next couple of weeks. He's doing the right things right now. I was skeptical about a week ago, but so far this week he's put in everything we've asked him to do. It's not easy for him.
"It won't be any time in the next couple of weeks, but I expect him back."
Pitino went on to say that Behanan "has to take the right steps to make himself a better person."
"Chane Behanan the basketball player is really good," Pitino said. "The person between the lines is also a good person. He's just got to do the right things away from the lines.
"He's doing that right now, so we expect him to come full circle, become a better man. The basketball player and the man we care for is top shelf."

New vision for Caltrain corridor in Palo Alto speeds ahead
Original post made on May 31, 2012

The biggest flaw in all this is that Caltrain is looked upon as an entity on its own or at most an entity that parallels road travel.
The real way to look at Caltrain is as a public transport system that must run in conjunction with bus travel. The first and last mile of a rail transit commute is just as important as the rail commute and this is where Caltrain fails. By making shuttles, bus schedules and even innovative ideas such as pedal rickshaw taxis, bike security and rental as well as, wait for it, bathroom facilities, part of the mix, forward thinking could make Caltrain a much better option for many Palo Alto commuters, regardless of whether we are the destination or homebase of the commuters.

Good job! I hope a time table can be established for implementation, particularly for the elimination of all at-grade crossings.
on May 31, 2012 at 11:16 am

@ Brian, who wrote: "Good job! I hope a time table can be established for implementation, particularly for the elimination of all at-grade crossings."
Wow! Music (in a sense) to my ears!
Unfortunately, as Planning Director Curtis Williams explained at the meeting, the report is a "policy document" that establishes a "policy framework". I think that's a fancy way of saying it does not do what you would like it to do, Brian, but it does enable the city to set up considering doing it, or more specifically, as Gennady wrote, "The new document could also help the city develop priorities for its capital-improvement program, Planning Director Curtis Williams told the planning commission Wednesday."
Commissioner Keller went to great pains to point out that any grade sep' project would require 'takings' of private property, noting that the driveways of private homes by the grade crossing would need to be part of the project. I was confused by what he said because I thought he indicated that he wanted the grade separations "kept open" - hopefully he'll comment here to clarify.
My own wish, having participated in the task force, is that the city authorize yet another task force (don't shoot me....wait till you see what I write next!) composed of civil engineers and other related professionals such as urban planners) in our community (assuming we have many of them) who will provide options for the city to consider for grade separating Meadows and/or Charleston - the two grade crossings that clearly received the most support for separating at the well-attended public workshop. The Churchill Ave crossing by Paly was a distant third.
The top policy statement was to align the RR tracks in a trench - so the task force would need to keep that in mind - though I'm hoping they would evaluate other options as well for the purposes of cost comparison.
The alternative to a citizen task force would be to farm it out to consultants - but I'm not sure that would be good in the long term. To grade sep will require lots of $, and I think it will require a bond to help finance, so enlisting the community in this effort is a smart move, politically speaking, IMO.

Everyone Knew
"Everyone knew Mark Foley was gay. Everyone." That, according to a Vanity Fair article "Don't Tell... Don't Email" by Gail Sheehy and Judy Bachrach about the politician a few moths after his resignation. Foley grew up near Palm Beach as a popular boy whom his high school yearbook described as "being a ladies man." Yet close friends of Foley's in Florida knew the truth. It weighed on him as well, as he lamented the fact that he couldn't be honest about his sexuality, according to Sheehy and Bachrach, who quoted Rand Hoch, a gay Democratic strategist in Florida who spoke to Foley at a party in 1984.
"I wish I could be out like you are and [still] involved in politics. But I can't because I'm a Republican," Foley told Hoch, according to the magazine.
The knowledge extended to Foley's early House staff as well. Kirk Fordham, his campaign manager and chief of staff from 1995 to 2004, was openly gay and knew from the start that Foley was in the closet. From his earliest time in D.C., Foley was very friendly with everyone on Capitol Hill, Fordham says. "I was always conscious of the fact because he was gay; if he struck up a conversation with a younger staffer or intern or an assistant in Congressman DeLay's office and lingered too long, I would nudge him," Fordham told Vanity Fair.
While Foley had decided that being an openly gay Republican would have been untenable, he would not have been the first. Representative Jim Kolbe of Arizona came out in 1996 while in office and won re-election that year. Four years later he was the first openly gay Republican to address the party's national convention. Washington has also known its share of openly gay Democratic politicians, from Barney Frank and Gerry Studds, both Massachusetts congressmen who had politically survived earlier sexual scandals, to Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin.
Yet no one in those early days seemed to know how far Foley was willing to take his attraction to underage boys, nor his penchant for leaving a trail of lurid communications with them.

Munro, STETHS on course to retain titles
CATHERINE HALL, St James — Defending boys champions Munro College and girls champions St Elizabeth Technical High (STETHS) were on their way to retaining their respective titles at yesterday's final day of the County of Cornwall Athletics Association's (COCAA's) Gatorade/Hanover Co-operative Credit Union Western Championships at the Montego Bay Sports Complex.
After 27 finals Munro, who led from the eliminations on Tuesday, had amassed 281 points to lead arch-rivals STETHS by 24 points while the STETHS girls had a comfortable 97.5 points, lead over Rusea's High after 32 finals were completed.
There were a number of outstanding performances, including sprint double wins by six athletes highlighted by Newell High's Shivnarine Smalling, who took the Class 1 100m in 10.47 seconds and the 200m in 21.15 seconds as he announced himself to a big crowd.
Green Island's Javier Johnson won the Class 4 boys' double, setting a new record of 23.64 seconds for the 200m event.
STETHS' Leroy Francis won the Class 2 double, while there were two double winners in the girls' sprints — Christine Moss of STETHS in Class 2 and Herbert Morrison's Shantae Simpson in Class 4.
Cornwall College's Alrick Ottey broke two records in the horizontal jumps, leaping to an impressive 14.68m in the Class 2 triple jump to beat the 13.46m set last year and 6.84m in the long jump to eclipse the 6.73m set by Damion Young of Rusea's in 2000.
STETHS' Ouekie Wright was second in the triple jump with 14.35m and Munro's Tevin Dunn placed third with 13.25m.
Odain Lewis of Cornwall College won the Class 1 triple jump with 14.59m, beating Munro's Anthony Bailey, 14.37m and Cornwall's Orell Bulgin, 13.86m.
STETHS' World Youth Championships 400m hurdles gold medallist won the 400m Open in 53.09 seconds ahead of teammate Jamar McNaughton, 53,62 seconds and Munro's Kemar Mowatt, 55.83 seconds.
He returned to win the boys' Class 1 110m hurdles in 13.94 seconds ahead of Maurice McIntosh, also of STETHS, 14.38 seconds; and Muschett High's Jonelle Cameron, 14.97 seconds.
Shanice Cannigna of Rusea's retained her title in the Girls Open 400m hurdles in 63.63 seconds, beating her teammate Lamara Distin, 1 minute 10.61 seconds and Delecia Mattison of STETHS, 1 minute 13.76 seconds.

Palm Beach, FL, February 7, 2013 - The Breast Cancer Research Foundation® (BCRF) hosted its tenth annual Hot Pink Luncheon and Symposium in Palm Beach at The Breakers on February 5, 2013. Approximately 240 guests attended the event that raised over $500,000. Each year, BCRF—founded by the late Palm Beach resident and passionate champion in the fight against breast cancer, Evelyn Lauder—brings together a panel of world-renowned BCRF grantees to Palm Beach. At the heart of this year's Symposium, titled Preventing Cancer, was a dynamic discussion by BCRF experts on the latest advances in breast cancer research and treatment.
Panel participants included BCRF-funded researchers Susan M. Domchek, MD (Abramson Cancer Center/University of Pennsylvania, Robert A. Weinberg, PhD (Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research), and Walter C. Willett, MD, DrPH (Harvard School of Public Health). Leading the discussion were BCRF Scientific Director Larry Norton, MD (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center) and BCRF Scientific Advisory Board Chairman Clifford Hudis, MD (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center). Discussion topics included the importance of mammograms as a diagnostic tool and the roles that health and nutrition can play in preventing breast cancer.
At the onset of the Luncheon, event Honorary Chair and Acting Chairman of the Foundation, Leonard Lauder, welcomed guests and was followed by remarks by BCRF President, Myra Biblowit, who thanked a number of the prominent supporters present, including BCRF Hot Pink Luncheon co-chairs Donna Acquavella, Louise Lambert Braver, Betsy Green, Joanne de Guardiola, Sandra Krakoff, Hillie Mahoney, Pauline Pitt, Tricia Quick, Hilary Geary Ross, Frances Scaife, and Judith Schlager. Many of the dedicated attendees sported the signature color of breast cancer awareness, creating a veritable sea of pink amidst the sunlit Circle Ballroom. In his closing remarks, Leonard Lauder took the opportunity to announce that Palm Beach resident Judie Schlager will receive the Foundation's Unsung Hero Award at their upcoming New York Hot Pink Party on April 17, 2013 (tickets can be purchased online at: http://www.hotpinkparty.com). In addition to the engaging panel discussion, the event featured an informal fashion presentation and preview of Neiman Marcus's Spring 2013 Collections.

Plant I Love: 'Crane Red' Kale
When I was in the Bay Area last month I made a pilgrimage to Annie's Annuals nursery. Swoon! They of course have an amazing selection of ornamental plants, but they also offer a super cool collection of edibles. Case in point: 'Crane Red' kale. How can you resist a kale with a hot pink core? I cannot. I must have it! Rumor has it that this is an "ornamental" kale. I think all kales are ornamental. 'Nero di Toscana' is one of the most beautiful foliage plants there is. And you can eat it. Apparently 'Crane Red' is very popular in the florist trade because it grows quite tall and eventually forms what looks like a hot pink rose. But of course, it is not a rose. It's kale! If you've sampled 'Crane Red', do let me know if it is worth eating. In the mean time, I've resolved to grow it and try eating it too. Even if it ends up tasting bad, I know it will look good.

Beyoncé's Dad Will No Longer Manage Her
Would You Want to Work With Your Family?
After managing his daughter Beyoncé, 29, ever since she was a teenager, Matthew Knowles will no longer be handling her career, according to an announcement yesterday. Although reports say the split is mutual, the process of separation must have been tough. First of all, it's always hard to let go of something familiar and sometimes involving family with your work life is quite a tricky situation to navigate. Beyoncé says in a press release:
"I am grateful for everything he has taught me. I grew up watching both he and my mother manage and own their own businesses. They were hardworking entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps."
Other celebrities that are managed by their parents include Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus. It seems that some of them seem to work out well, and some not so much. I can see how nice it is to have your parents guide and ground you in the crazy celebrity world when you're still growing up, but there are probably a lot of drawbacks as well. When money gets thrown into the mix, arguments can become more heated. I think that monetary success is not worth ruining relations with your family and I'm sure most agree as well. What do you think — would you want to work with your family?

LD Steve Finch (right) is the first designer to tour a PixelDrive control system from James Thomas Engineering, which is controlling 17 James Thomas Pixelline 1044 battens, on Level 42's current UK and European tour.
Finch's design uses two pods of Pixellines with seven units per pod — dubbed the "PixelPods" — to provide the show's main effects lighting. These are hung prominently on the back truss and angled backwards. The designer immediately liked the Pixellines when he saw them demonstrated last summer. The PC-based PixelDrive system is triggered via any DMX-lighting desk. It gives control of visual images via a familiar set of attributes — similar to programming a moving light. PixelDrive integrates lighting designers with video and graphics departments, so all mediums can be controlled from a single lighting console. PixelDrive patterns and effects are quickly mimicked in real-time with a preview monitor.
The production was designed to provide a slightly different look for the band while still recalling the 80s, when it was frequently found on the charts. After experimenting with different Pixelline configurations in the warehouse of Siyan, the tour's lighting supplier, Finch came up with some pseudo-80s looks. "A lot of the lighting for this is 80s Tops of the Pops and televisual in style," he says, referring to the venerable UK television series. What he means is the lighting makes use of big blocks of color and dramatic cuts between different levels of lighting onstage.
Finch also created some of his own graphics patterns to run on the PixelDrive using the program PaintShop Pro, and created a custom color palette within PixelDrive, which allowed him to create a number of kaleidoscopic effects.
"I like the fact that, as soon as you've programmed something in PixelDrive, you can bring up the scene and change color or throw effects onto it instantly," Finch says. With no production rehearsals at the start of the tour, the PixelDrive's speed was useful in putting together the design rapidly.
The Level 42 tour is run on an Avolites Sapphire console, for which two pages of playback memories are allocated to PixelDrive effects. The rest of the lighting rig includes SGM Giotto moving units, plus an assortment of PARs and ETC Source Fours.
Finch's crew includes two staff members from Siyan, Brian Mandeville and Iestyn Thomas. Kevin Hopgood is production manager.

New Rhino Rig Shoulder Mount Offers Stabilization Through Customization
Lately we've been hearing a lot about gyro-stabilizers, but the team over at Rhino, who brought you the Rhino Slider, have assembled an innovative, modular, and fully customizable shoulder stabilizer: the Rhino Rig. Since the launch of their Kickstarter campaign a week ago, the Rhino Rig has, by far, surpassed its $50,000 goal, in part because each pledge equals a preorder or part of the kit. Not only that, but they're offering you quite a deal. So, hit the jump to check out what the Rhino Rig can do, and how much you can save by pre-ordering on Kickstarter.
One of the most impressive things about the Rhino Rig is its fully customizable design. It's made up of 4 modular components: the Base Kit, the Rail System, the Cage, and the Rhino Rest, all of which can be changed to fit the operator.
The crown jewel of the Rig, in my opinion, is the Rhino Rest.
For ultimate comfort and customization, we created the first ever fully-articulating, custom-fitting shoulder rest; the Rhino Rest, which is being received as the most comfortable shoulder rest on the market. It features 9 individually articulating TPR (thermoplastic rubber) pads that distribute the weight equally across the shoulder and an integrated 15 degree cant that conforms to the slope of your shoulder. We added even more functionality by integrating eight 1/4-20 accessory mounting locations above each link.
Check out the Kickstarter video below to see the Rhino Rig in action:
Another thing that I like about this stabilizer is that you can add to it, because it's completely modular. If you're on a budget and can only afford the base kit to start, no problem. If you do a lot of action videography and only need the cage, no sweat. But, if you want to start branching out and adding to your rig, you can, and each new piece serves a purpose to make your life easier (and more stable) as you shoot.
And speaking of add-ons, the structure of the Rhino Rig allows you to add all sorts of accessories onto it, and since it's fully customizable, you don't have to worry too much about decreased mobility or performance from crowded gear.
Even though the Cage comes in 3 different heights, any camera that is over 6.4″ tall will not fit inside the tallest cage. Here is a partial list of cameras that will work with the Rhino Rig:
Canon - EOS Rebel Series, EOS-1D X, T2i, T3i, T4i, T5i, 60D, 7D, 6D, 5D Mark II, 5D Mark III, Cinema EOS-1D C, EOS C100, EOS C300, EOS C500
Nikon - D3100, D3200, D5100, D90, D5200, D7000, D7100, D300S, D600, D800, D3X, D4
Sony - a58, a65, a77, a99, NEX-3N, NEX-5R, NEX-6, NEX-7, NEX FS700, F5, F55
Panasonic - GH2, GH3, AF100
Red Digital Cinema - Red Scarlet, Red Epic, Red Dragon
Blackmagic Design - Blackmagic Cinema Camera, Pocket Cinema Camera, Production Camera 4K
Since the Rhino Rig is raising money to fund production of the Rhino Rig, they've drawn up a production plan to show you not only when to expect to receive your Rig in the mail, but also what phase of production its in along the way.
Just yesterday, Rhino launched some new rewards. There is now a counterweight for an extra $70:
They're also adding a new pledge called the "Rhino Studio Kit," which includes the Rhino Rig Full Kit, the new 2ft Rhino Slider PRO ($450), and Rhino Armor case ($75) for $300 off retail:
If you're interested in learning more about the Rhino Rig, check out their Kickstarter campaign. You can also find the new 2ft. Rhino Slider PRO and case over on their website if you'd like to order one right now.
What do you think about the Rhino Rig? From what you've seen, how do you think it compares with other similar stabilizers? Let us know in the comments.
We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
This is just filler. You may as well have just cut n pasted their kickstarter page.
Some where along the way nofilmschool has become an aggregate site with little to say but repeat what others are posting I other sites, site most of your audience already visit on their own.
Bookmark deleted. Sad for what nofilmschool has become, was once one of my favorite sites.

You'll be missed…random guy.
So long dude, you won't be missed.
steve on 08.7.13 @ 3:22PM
Yes, I totally agree that it's irrelevant to report to indie filmmakers on the developments of stabilization gear, especially when they can get in on the ground floor to snag some hefty discounts. This blog has become the place I go to to find out about late-breaking gear news. So thanks for reporting on kickstarter campaigns and upcoming products.
steve on 08.7.13 @ 3:25PM
I put start and end html tags with the word "sarcasm" in them. I guess the page thought it was actually html, then rejected it. Please read the first part as sarcasm.
john jeffries on 08.7.13 @ 3:35PM
This place is a gear blog and it always was and always will be
Mark K. on 08.7.13 @ 5:58PM
I dont think theres another site that is as well updated as this. The site is great, i dont get on here much but when I do..i drink Dos NFS. Stay thirsty my friends.
jay clout on 08.7.13 @ 6:28PM
Well considering that it is about uplifting and supporting a kickstarter product, not a celebrity , but comon folks and considering that the gear is not readily available ,then it would be impossible for this not to be a filler.
Save your argument for when it may be appropriate , i do not see anything wrong with what V.Renee posted, She is a writer and post writer for the sight, this is not a review from joe or the sights founder, so give her some slack or better yet, just press the back button, its not that serious.
Now as far as the product its self on the other hand, ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh,
I believe I just watched the best camera rig game changer in the history of film making.
can't say I agree
jay clout on 08.7.13 @ 8:38PM
mitch on 08.7.13 @ 10:18AM
Where'd you see it at? I need to check that out too, 'cause this one seems kind of sucky.
Dheep' on 10.24.13 @ 7:14PM
And who do you work for ?
Chris Lambert on 08.7.13 @ 10:38AM
Am I being a total idiothole and not reading it right or is this one of the worse rewards system ever
Give them $1650 and you can save $300ish dollars off of the price!!! … jog on.
Joe Marine on 08.7.13 @ 10:45AM
Those Kickstarter rewards are a discount for being an early buyer. If you weren't buying it through Kickstarter – you'd be adding $300 to the price for that reward. The rig is not yet available to buy in the store, but when it is, if will be more expensive than it is here.
Finally, a modular rig….(the amount of sarcasm in typing this is literally painful)
The shoulder grip is kind of cool.
I wish a break down of what the product is actually costing to make was shown. The prices of these things make my wallet hide in the house.
Marcus on 08.7.13 @ 2:25PM
I can't buy any rig before testing it in store, too many disappointments.
Mark K. on 08.7.13 @ 4:58PM
these prices are the reason why china and korea are dominating the market
Or some guy in his garage selling DIY-ish rigs.
Rig looks very nice, but not much fun trying to operate a RED without being counter weighted or at the least sitting up on the shoulder. Really is a less than ideal way to operate as shown above in my experience.
Gerrick on 08.15.13 @ 1:08PM
Totally agree. I'm still at a loss as to why we're still seeing shoulder rigs that place the sensor in front of the camera operator? Now I do understand that buying an EVF is cost prohibitive for a lot of folks, but it just makes good sense from an operational standpoint. The closer the sensor to the center of the operator, the more you decrease the occurrence of rolling shutter(mainly in DSLRs), especially when doing whip-pans. Placing the sensor closer to the center also takes more weight off the arms and places it onto the shoulder, decreasing the fatigue factor. I'm one of those DIY kind of guys, who basically took a cheap, but sturdy(all metal) rig and was able to emulate Letus's Master Cinema Series shoulder rig…right down to the counter weight. My DSLR has the look and feel of a quality cinema camera, in terms of its handling and movement on screen.
I was about to pledge until I saw the delivery date of Jan 2014? By then they could be other manufacturer producing better or about the same rig that ready IN STOCK. Don't you think so?
Too many gimbal thingys…. Just get this: http://www.goodluckbuy.com/3-axis-dslr-brushless-gimbal-carbon-fiber-handle-camera-mount-w-5208-brushless-motor-for-fpv-photography.html

December 3, 1953
The powers of hell
As I am praying before the image, the Lady suddenly comes to life. It is as if she steps out of the painting, and then I see her as usual with an immense light around her. I hear her say, clearly and earnestly,
Do not be afraid. It was my intention that this image still be here at the inauguration of the Marian year. After that it will go to Amsterdam. [1]
Now the Lady pauses for a moment, gazing before herself. Then I feel something terribly horrid coming around the Lady. She says,
The powers of hell will break loose.
Next it is as if I heard thunder and terrible noise about her. But then the Lady smiles and says,
They will not, however, defeat the Lady of All Nations.
As the Lady says these words,
an immensely bright light comes all about her, such that it hurts my eyes.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX), valued at $56.13B, began trading this morning at $74.34.
During the trading session, SBUX traded between $74.01 to $74.62 with its 52-week range being $52.52 to $82.50.
SBUX shares are currently priced at 28.08x this year's forecasted earnings, which makes them relatively expensive compared to the industry's 22.64x earnings multiple.
The company pays shareholders $1.04 per share annually in dividends, yielding 1.40%.
