Ahern: Veteran's Day Mass at St. Barnabas
By Patti Ahern Citizen firstname.lastname@example.com November 1, 2012 4:02PM

Updated: December 5, 2012 6:09AM
A Veterans Day Mass planned at St. Barnabas Parish in Chicago's Beverly community does not glorify war or violence, nor does it justify a political belief.
The Mass, which is at 10 a.m. Nov. 11, will focus on peace and will thank and honor all members of the armed services, past and present, who have defended the United States.
"We decided to do this special liturgy to honor all the servicemen and women who serve and have served our country," Kitty Ryan, the pastoral associate and director of music and liturgy for St. Barnabas parish, wrote in an email.
"The focus of the liturgy is peace, not violence or war, and our prayer is for peace among all nations. However, since humanity has not discovered how to resolve conflicts in a peaceful way, war and violence remain a reality in our lives.
"No matter how much we are against war and violence we cannot ignore the service these men and women have provided to us in defending our freedom. We cannot ignore all those who have been injured and all those who have lost their lives serving our country."
The Mass, which was planned by the St. Barnabas Liturgy Committee, will include performances by the St. Barnabas/Spirit in Song Adult Choirs and the St. Barnabas Children's Choir. The Rev. Jim Joslyn, a retired Navy chaplain, will be the presider for the service.
"I was in the Navy for 23 years, and I loved it," Joslyn said. "This is the first time I'll do the Veterans Day Mass at St. Barnabas."
Joslyn, who grew up on the South Side of Chicago, said he has many friends and relatives in the area. He is eager to say the Mass, he said, to honor military veterans.
"There are so many people permanently disabled from war," Joslyn said. "This is an opportunity to raise awareness about those who have served in the military."
The Mass will begin with a special "call to worship" that will acknowledge all the branches of the military. Any current service members or veterans will be invited to join in the procession at the beginning of the service, and each military division will be led by their respective flags.
Beverly resident and Vietnam veteran Pat Malloy will be one of several veterans bringing up the gifts during the ceremony. Malloy said he was honored to be a part of the Mass, because he felt he represented so many.
"By all means I am honored," Malloy said. "In bringing up the gifts, I am representing all the veterans who will be there. I'll be taking all their wishes and dreams up as I bring up the gifts."
In addition to the recognition given during the "call to worship," the names of those currently serving in the military will be brought up to the church altar, along with a peace candle. After communion there will be a special blessing for current men and women, as well as for veterans.
Hank Hammer is a member of the St. Barnabas Liturgical Committee that helps plan Masses. Hammer wrote an email saying that this special Mass is a way to remember the commitment and service of those who have served.
"All of our deceased veterans had dreams and hopes for long lives," Hammer wrote. "We, who have been given that gift, should never forget them. We can dream and hope because they gave us a country where that is still possible.
"It is important in our current atmosphere of entitlement to remember how selfless these men and women were in serving their country. I suspect none of them really wanted to go to war, but they did because they knew the freedom Americans enjoyed would be jeopardized if they and others did not make the sacrifice to serve their country.
"At this time of year I often think of John F. Kennedy's quote, 'Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.'"
The parish, which has celebrated this Mass annually since 2008, says it is a "not to be missed" celebration, Ryan said.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for the faith community to come together to pray for peace while at the same time honoring our dedicated servicemen and women, past and present," Ryan said.
Hammer agreed with Ryan and added thoughts about wars and hope for peace.
"We are trying to reconcile the idea of these tragic wars with the fervent hope for peace," Hammer said. "Can peace come out of devastation and loss of life? Can we learn from these wars that there will be no true peace unless it is rooted in Gospel values?"
St. Barnabas Parish, 10134 S. Longwood Drive, has more than 1,500 registered families.
For more information about the Mass, which includes a coffee and doughnut reception in the church vestibule following the liturgy, visit www.stbarnabasparish.org.
To add the name of an active service person to the list that will be read at the Prayers of the Faithful during the Mass, contact Ryan at (773) 779-1166, Ext. 226 or email@example.com.

Great game to welcome Lara back into the main stream. Would have been a lot better off being single player only. Played the main story to 100% completion and did multiplayer for about half the levels 30/60 I gave up trying to get 20 kills with the turrets for a trophy and getting level 60 and buying...more

I should have named the blog See Aimee Cook 30 Minute Meals.
I would have named it simply 30 Minute Meals but some girl named Rachael called dibs on it first.
Good food, made with with real ingredients, don't have to be complicated or take long. It can, and I do dabble in more complicated meals occasionally, but what I really want is for people to have access to easy, quick, delicious meals that mostly use ingredients found on the outside edge of your grocery store. This is one of those meals.
In the spring/summer/fall, the grill can be your best friend at the end of the day. Not only do you keep the heat outside but things on the grill are typically healthier and you don't have a big mess in your kitchen! This meal doesn't even call for marinating ahead of time so no worries if you are (like me) and thawing your chicken while you're at work. You can walk in the door, season the chicken, crank up the grill, start the quinoa, and have dinner done in LESS than 30 minutes. And it's so, so tasty - we both LOVED it!
Psst - The original recipe uses the stovetop but if the weather is nice, throw it on the grill instead and save that pan from being washed. I've included instructions for both methods.
Psst Psst - With the cayenne amount below, I did not find this spicy. However, you can adjust the amount based on your taste. The avocado cream sauce - if you decide to make it - will also help cut the heat if you're extra sensitive.
Blackened Chicken and Cilantro-Lime Quinoa
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoon olive oil
2 cups low sodium chicken stock
1 cup quinoa
1 lime, juice and zest
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
Avocado cream sauce, optional (see below)
Combine the first six ingredients in a small bowl. Mix well, then season both sides of each chicken breast.
Add the teaspoon of olive oil to a large pan or skillet. Heat the olive oil for a minute over medium/high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Cook for seven minutes on each side with the lid on.**
Add the chicken stock and quinoa to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium/low heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for ten to fifteen minutes with the lid on, until all the stock has been absorbed.
After the chicken breasts have fully cooked, remove them from the pan and let them rest for seven minutes before slicing them.
In a large bowl, toss together the warm quinoa, lime zest, lime juice, chopped cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the sliced chicken breast on top of the quinoa with the optional Avocado Cream Sauce.
**If using the grill instead, skip this step and instead grill the chicken on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about seven minutes per side
Avocado Cream Sauce - in a food processor, puree one avocado and two tablespoons of Greek yogurt until smooth.

The annual MTV Video Music Awards were once again filled with spectacular performances, hit-or-miss presenting gigs and noteworthy acceptances speeches. And even though Lady Gaga was not in attendance, there were still plenty of outlandish fashion statements!
Hosted by comedian Kevin Hart, the 2012 VMAs didn't pull the emotional punch of last year's show (which featured a tribute to Amy Winehouse), but it still showcased some thrilling performances -- particularly from the ladies.
Video of the year winner Rihanna got the show started with a seductive remix of "Cockiness" that highlighted her dancing skills and her naughty side. (Crotch grabbing included!) Pink rocked the house as always with her return to the VMAs stage, swinging through the air on a pair of giant red lips as part of her "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)" performance. And Taylor Swift finished off the show with a feisty rendition of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," during which MTV knowingly cut to one of her many celebrity exes, Taylor Lautner.
Frank Ocean, who recently admitted his first real love was a man, serenaded the audience with a mesmerizing, stripped-down version of "Thinking of You." And screaming girls seemed to raise the decibel of the venue when British-Irish boy band One Direction performed, as well as when they accepted their two Moonman trophies.
Alicia Keys had the double distinction of not only debuting her new single "Girl on Fire" but of being introduced by the Fierce Five (Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman and co.) The Olympic gold medalists looked glamorous, if a bit nervous, as they stood on the MTV stage.
Meanwhile, the other presenters ranged from the awkward rapping styles of Andy Samberg, the hilariously raunchy Rebel Wilson (who joked about pleasuring herself while thinking of her co-presenter, The Wanted), to the excited Perks of Being a Wallflower costars Emma Watson and Ezra Miller, who introduced Green Day.
And Twilight fans finally got to see Robert Pattinson, who barely broke a smile while he, Lautner and three other members of the cast presented an exclusive clip from Breaking Dawn: Part 2. (Kristen Stewart was noticeably absent, choosing to attend the Toronto International Film Festival instead.)
Overall, Hart might not have been the drop-dead funniest host. But he certainly seem pumped to host the show, as evidenced by how much he squealed when RiRi took the stage to accept her top prize. Will it go down in the annals as one of the best? Probably not. But at least the women of pop proved they can rule the stage.

lunatick writes "I put in my application for Google Glass as a joke. I never figured I would be selected. Well in less than one week I got my invite to buy Google Glass. My main hold back is the $1500 price tag for a device that just seems to be a camera and navigation aid. Does anyone in the /. community have Google Glass and can they give some advice to the rest of us considering it?"

Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Issue with Webcam
I have a pretty old webcam, PCLine P13GWCB09, which has just randomly stopped working. It appears in devices & printers, appears in the device manager, says nothing is wrong if I try to troubleshoot it, says it successfully installs drivers; and yet if I use it with any kind of video program, the feed is just completely black and nothing will change it. It have tried opening it with different software, (skype, the windows video, custom webcam viewers,) and on different computers - on Windows 7, XP, and Vista; but it will always just show a black screen. I tried installing different drivers, that according to forums were compatible with the cam, but no difference. Is there anything I can do? It used to work on Win7, but it now no longer does.
|My System Specs
|12 Mar 2013
Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium SP1
It's most likely broken!
The camera on many of the consumer grade webcams is not all that "robust" and it can blink out like a light bulb. The fact that it behaves the same on any computer sort of confirms this idea.
Don't be distracted by the driver/device part of this. As far as your OS is concerned the Device is connected and communicating that it is OK to work with the system, and the driver for the device is recognized and works for the device. That is the end of the story for Windows Device Management. If the device itself does not function as intended after that then it is another story.
We see this often with defective optical disk drives where the laser blinks out. The drive is recognized and listed as OK, and it shows up in Windows Explorer- it just won't read or write anything!

Fox created a Website to commemorate the upcoming 10th-anniversary edition of Fight Club, and it used Facebook Connect to enhance the Flash-based mash-ups created by the site, TechCrunch reported.
The site uses Facebook Connect to cull Facebook users' names and other details, and then creates video mash-ups of scenes from Fight Club and random Facebook pictures from users' profiles, according to TechCrunch.
In a delicious coincidence, TechCrunch points out that Fight Club was directed by David Fincher, who is currently working on a movie Facebook is far from thrilled with: The Social Network.

So i'm a meat lover, probably will be forever, but recently i want to cut back on my meat by 80% for health reason (not saying a person eating meat is not healthy). So i was just wondering if i can supplement all my protein needs with protein shake (the one with a fair amount of calories). I'm pretty big on lifting, been doing it for 9 years (not saying i'm a pro by all means), so i dont want it to drastically effect it (2 more months of bulking before the great cardio journey). Thank you for your insight and appreciate your comments.

Mercy Medical Center's Laboratory Services Nominated for Best of 2012 Clinical Lab Facilities
Start Date
Mercy Medical Center is proud to announce that the Department of Laboratory Services has been nominated for Best of 2012 Clinical Lab Facilities. Best of 2012 Clinical Lab Facilities is a special recognition program within the clinical lab industry and is sponsored by CLP (Clinical Lab Products) Magazine. Medical laboratories are nominated by their peers, and selected by a panel of industry experts. Selection for this honor is based on how well the lab redefines the industry's best practices to provide the best quality service to clinicians and patients.
Mercy's Department of Laboratory Services is comprised of two full service laboratories: Dunes Medical Laboratories located in Dakota Dunes and the hospital laboratory located within Mercy Medical Center. The nomination for this recognition stemmed from the coordination of instrumentation and operations between Mercy's two laboratory locations and also for continued significant improvement in turn around time in the delivery of troponin results. The troponin test is a key marker used to diagnose myocardial infarction (heart attack).
Mercy's Department of Laboratory Services will be listed in the August 2012 issue of CLP Magazine. CLP is a magazine that focuses exclusively on products and technology for the clinical lab industry and reaches a nationwide audience of over 42,000 clinical lab professionals.

Make it work! CBS's The Young and the Restless is gearing up for a big spring fashion show — airing April 11-16 — that will boast a guest appearance by Jill Larson (All My Children's Opal), and a crossover by The Bold and the Beautiful's Jacob Young (Rick) and Linsey Godfrey (Caroline).
The CBS-Sony soap The Young and the Restless owed Josh Griffith a huge debt of gratitude when he did double duty as exec producer and head writer during the 2007-2008 Writers Guild strike. Not only did the three-time Emmy winning Griffith keep Y&R afloat during that treacherous time, he improved the show drastically. But no good deed goes unpunished in Soapland! When the strike was over, Griffith was pushed out. Now he's back as head writer, working with new exec producer Jill Farren Phelps to get this once-mighty serial back in shape after the devastating reign of Maria Bell. read more

OpenOffice Lives, More Involvement Needed
Free office solution OpenOffice.org is still in the best of shape, based on reactions from project members to Novell developer Michael Meeks's recent pessimistic view. The Linux Foundation is one of many who are concerned. All want one thing: more.
Two weeks ago, OpenOffice.org collaborator Michael Meeks blogged a message of concern about the project, painting it in not so rosy terms. He cited numerous statistics to show that, in his opinion, the code has been poorly maintained, causing many developers to pull off the project from frustration. This prompted a reaction from Thorsten Ziehm, quality expert at Sun Microsystems for OpenOffice and its commercial variant StarOffice. In his "What was done in 2008" blog," Ziehm followed Meeks's example by showing supporting graphics and statistics, but this time to refute Meeks's claims. Whereas Meeks cites an increasing developer withdrawal from the project, Ziehm points to the "nearly 900 child work spaces" that were integrated. While Meeks is convinced of Sun's retreat, Ziehm cites a contrary opinion from Sun VP Jim Parkinson in his weblog from November 2008: "We are not about to walk away from OpenOffice.org."
Florian Effenberger, marketing representative for the project, also opined in a Linux Magazine Online blog that he was amazed at Meeks's pessimistic view. He even saw the current polarization as evidence of the project's vitality: "The differing viewpoints prove only that the project continues to be active, that it lives, that many are thinking about it and take it close to heart. There's no better way of showing how full of life it is." As evidence he pointed to the 50 new extensions enhancing OpenOffice that were added in December.
The Linux Foundation is showing its own concern. Foundation VP Amanda McPherson sees OpenOffice.org as the great alternative to Microsoft and that the 28 million downloads for the last OpenOffice version as undoubtable proof of its success. Even the vaguest notion about a questionable future could prove fatal. In her weblog she writes, "I worry that we would be beholden to the same proprietary forces that have shaped the desktop market. We shouldn't rely on Sun to save us here. In fact it may be counter-productive to do so."
All seemed to agree that OpenOffice lives and will continue to do so with more participants involved. Ziehm summarizes with, "we need more people in all areas and projects – User Experience, QA, L10N, Development or any other project on OOo – to get dreams fulfilled."
BugsFiling bugs to the OOo developers are indeed frustrating. I filed several critical or hopeless issues since around 2001-2002, the last in 2004, and most of them where fixed only recently or are not fixed yet.
My first problems was with developers with no idea about the real world. Usability issues where rejected with "works for me" but where fixed later after usability tests of course showed that I was right. It was so obvious, but I ha to struggle with computer enthusiasts. Later it was project managers or something that handled the dialog in the issue handling system and things improved.
Even when issues have several hundred votes it takes years before fixes or improvements are implemented. I have seen many smaller (VERY small!!!) companies implement many of these features from quarter to quarter, so I assume that it is not only about lack of resurces, this problem.
But really... waiting for 5 years for smaller features that where part of Office 95 or Office 97, thats too much.

bugsHi to AC who posted above about the spreadsheet bug: what is the bug number? My experience with Open Office bugs has been different, both from the outstanding maintainers of my distribution (Debian) and from "upstream" (OpenOffice.org itself).
OpenOffice is crucial to desktop LinuxOpenOffice needs to be supported in a big way. It's a crucial application for desktop Linnux and it isn't the kind of work that's really suited to part-time or hobbyist developers. Not only Sun but also Novell, Red Hat, Canonical, IBM, and all the rest, need to commit time, money, and people to OpenOffice. If this crucial piece of software falls into disrepair, desktop Linux's viability will suffer greatly.
Re: OpenOffice Lives, More Involvement NeededTry posting a bug report on OpenOffice - it's an exercise in frustrating futility. There is *still* a critical flaw involving absolute references in the spreadsheet - and they won't admit it even EXISTS!!!!!! I feel like I've been slamming my head into a concrete wall - and it's long past time to stop. OO is badly broken; the developers refuse to listen to the users . . . . It's just pointless to even try. I hope KOffice turns out better.
PS - I *like* OpenOffice - the things that aren't broken are better than Microsoft Office - but the broken parts need to be acknowledged and fixed.

SYRACUSE, N.Y.- Federal authorities have fired and demoted U.S. probation officers in the monitoring of a man charged with raping a 10-year-old girl and killing her mother during a carjacking at a New York mall.
The Post-Standard of Syracuse reports the changes made at the federal probation office in Syracuse were detailed in a letter Monday from U.S. courts administrators to U.S. Dan Maffei.
The probation officers came under fire in March after authorities said David Renz quickly removed and reassembled an electronic bracelet so monitors didn't immediately realize he'd taken it off. Authorities say Renz then strangled and stabbed a woman in her car and raped the woman's daughter during an attack outside Syracuse.
Renz has pleaded not guilty.
He had been required to wear the monitor because of an earlier child pornography arrest.

My Review of High Stakes Poker on GSN
For the three of you who don't know what I'm talking about, High Stakes Poker is a no-limit ring game that was played at the Golden Nugget in Vegas last year, with no cap on the buy-in. Many of the big game players, as well as Vegas high-stakes players like Sammy Farha, Eli Elezra, and Sean Sheikan also sat into the game. It is, to my knowledge, the first non-tournament-style Texas Hold'Em on television.
It's a great idea, but does it make good dramatic TV?
THE GOOD: It's very interesting to watch some of these players, who we've seen in countless tournaments, play a ring game. Last night, Barry Greenstein played for all his chips (just over $200K) when Daniel Negreanu threw two bricks of cash onto the table, raising it to a million dollars. There were three clubs on the board, and Barry had the A of clubs, and called (!) on the come. He bricked the turn, and sucked out on the river to beat Daniel, who had K6c. I wondered if Barry would make that call in a tourney. (I'm guessing he wouldn't.)
It is awesome that Gabe Kaplan is doing commentary again. I loved it when he called the WSOP, and I wish they'd bring him back. He knows what he's talking about, and he's got a great sense of humor and comedic timing.
It's cool that any player can come into and leave the game whenever they want to, as long as they've got the bankroll. It's nice to get a sense for how these people, who play with each other all the time, relate to each other outside of a tournament setting.
THE BAD: The players are putting extraordinary amounts of money on the table, wagering more on one hand than many of us make in a year, but it never feels like the money really matters to them, to the commentators, and consequently to the audience. In their defense, I don't know what the producers could do to fix this, because the players really don't care about the stakes, which makes it tough for the audience to have any sort of emotional connection to the players. Without that emotional element, the dramatic tension is lost, and we end up feeling like we're watching the ultra-rich callously throw around obscene amounts of money. We, the audience, really don't have a stake in the outcome, and the show suffers as a result.
The production values are weak, and the show feels like GSN didn't put much money behind it. If I'm watching High Stakes Poker, I want to feel like I'm watching High Stakes Poker. This should feel at least as produced as an episode of WPT, but it feels more like the Ultimatebet show from Hollywood Park.
THE UGLY: Whoever did the audio mix should be kicked in the junk. Twice. The announcers' voices are loud and clear, but it's virtually impossible to hear anything the players say. It became very frustrating to me to miss their conversation, because being a fly on the felt at this big game is supposed to be one of the reasons we're watching this show.
They occasionally break away from the game to follow these players through the casino while they play other games. I don't really need to watch Sean Sheikan splash around $45K at blackjack while he talks about how great he is. I'm pretty sure that I'm in the minority on this one, but that really put me off. Again, I think it's the lack of emotional connection to the players, which alienates the audience.
The action feels rushed. Quite often, the commentators are discussing a hand, and suddenly it's over. If they called it live, there's not a lot they can do about that, but it's the sort of thing that contributes to the rough feel of the program, and should have been fixed in post production.
THE VERDICT: GSN starts out with a very strong hand, but misses the flop entirely. The show is only a few episodes in, though, so maybe they'll pick up a draw on the turn, and make a winner by fifth street. I just hope that the audience ends up caring enough about the players to stay in the hand.
Reader Comments(Page 1)
1. I absolutely love the show. Of course I play only cash games so, there ya go. Love Gabe, A.J. sux. He was okay back when he was on E!, but as a poker commentator?..come on! I've always wanted to see how these "best players in the world" play cash games. This is my cup of tea.....love it!
Posted at 11:37AM on Feb 28th 2006 by POKERDUDE03
2. I disagree with the 'overall' take of the commentary, though I agree with a few of the nitpicks. I do hate when the announcers (AJ mostly) talk over the players . . . and I wish they would show what people fold.
But the show itself is phenomenal. IMO, it's the best poker I've ever seen on TV. Nothing else is even close. I completely disagree with the 'emotional' take of the author. I think you can defintely see how it affects the players emtionally. Barry Greenstein looked sick when he lost that $360K pot to Farha with AA vs. KK. Does anyone know if Fred Chamanara didn't kill himself after losing $160K to Johnny Chan when he reraised all in with AJ preflop, only to be shown Johnny's rockets? What made it all the more sickening was that Chamanara had played great all night - how many of us have played great all night only to lose it all in one hand in NLHE? It's like a right of passage for any NLHE player. You can even see the toll that cold decks and bad beats have taken on Negreanu, who is the most professional of professionals. This show gets to the emotion, much more than a tournament IMO.
I absolutely love the show, and like I said, I don't think there has ever been better poker on TV anywhere.

3. The show is intense.There's a big difference between professional gamblers and internet no limit players who put up 100 dollars to get a seat into a tournament.In a tournament when a player wagers 1 million chips,that represents the accumulation of chips won in a big tournament.It's not cash,they win prize money based on where they finish.This high stakes game is the real thing,real cash.The amateurs are very wealthy and the pros do this for a living.It involves psychology and guts.What more could you want?The show has been renewed which tells it all.
Posted at 12:20PM on Apr 16th 2006 by Jim
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT AGREE WITH YOUR COMMENTS ABOUT GABE KAPLAN'S COMMENTARY. Just top notch work by Kaplan calling the action and adding his comedic talents.
This show is excellent as it is much better than tournament play (imo). However, I agree about the production values. It is very obvious that GSN haven't put enough money into this show. There's real potential for it to be much better than it is. Hopefully, they will pick up their act before the next season starts.

5. I loved the show. I've seen each episode at least three times, it's a great learning tool. In my opinion, the best episodes were the ones that involved Sam Farha. His style of play and his personality made it so much more interesting, especially because he bluffed 90% of the pots!
Does anyone know when season two is going to start? I saw Sam waiting for a seat in episode 13 and I thought, "Damnit Jerry, you can't play poker anyways, let Sammy sit down" So I really want to see him in action again.

6. I also saw about the same amount of the show as you did and completely concur with your critique. Honestly, the only reason I even kept tuned in, though I was going back and forth between a WPT event and this show, was because of Daniel Negreanu. His personality and sincere enjoyment of the game is what drew me in. Everyone else seemed quite boring. My assessment of this show, in a word... dull.
Now I know that sitting in this type of game really isn't conducive to edge of your seat excitement, but c'mon.. if they are going to put in the time and money to put it on television and expect an audience, then do something to liven it up a bit. Just my two cents..
Posted at 3:03PM on Jan 31st 2006 by Antonio
7. I pretty much agree with this.
The production values are crap. Daniel N. comes across as an annoying twit. That beverly hills gynecologist also came across as a major buffoon. Could he take any longer to call a hand?!
What would be more exciting is taking the pro players and have them coach an amateur and then throw that amateur into a super high stakes game. That would be some drama.
Posted at 4:46PM on Jan 31st 2006 by Mister Fingers
8. I mostly agree, except I will say that you get a sense of Daniel's humor by watching closely enough. If you could hear more of the audio, you'd get a better feel for the players and how they regard each other. (Sheikhan took some serious abuse last night, and it looks like it only gets worse.)
Also, can we never call him Sheiky again?
Posted at 5:59PM on Jan 31st 2006 by Andrew Hime
9. have not watched last night's episode (TiVo'd for tonight's WWdN tourney) but i have watched the two previous...several times each.
i concur that i wish the player audio was up and the commentator audio down. i watch these things b/c i want to see and HEAR the pros play. i mean, it's not like i can buy into The Big Game, so this is as close a shot i am getting.
and speaking of commentators, who chose AJ Benza? that guy is a turd in the toilet bowl of life. seriously, i am sorry if anyone likes him, but he isa serious hack. now Gabe is the nuts. why did they waste pairing him with AJ? ceases to amaze me....
lastly, the stakes actually remind me a lot of the cash games i play. you can see the big money that is willing to gamble (Negreanu, Doyle, Greenstein, Forrest), the cautious money that wants to roll up (Alaei Harman), and the scared money that doesn't want to go broke and lose face (Buss, Nasseri.) i don't think the money matters to any of them as much as the ego does...and i like that.
so Shieky is in last nights? i can't wait. that guy annoys me too....
Posted at 7:47PM on Jan 31st 2006 by sellthekids
10. I only caught the last part of an episode that had Barry G., Jen H., Doyle, Daniel N. and Ted F. Sammy F. was prowling around in the background with a cig hanging out of his mouth waiting for an opening.
I enjoyed it. Rough it may have been, but for me it was as if I really was sitting on one of the plush spectator chairs (complete with missing stuff, which would be nice to catch I agree). The difference in their play cash vs. tournament was interesting - I can see why Ted makes his money in the cash games.
I hope they continue to do the show, and get some of the other players in it - Phil Ivey I'd love to see, for one. Maybe Johnny Chan.
12. Am I the only one who doesn't like Gabe Kaplan? His delivery strikes me as awkward and forced. But I agree 100% with your take on Sheikan. He's an ass, and I really don't need to know any more about him than that. He's the only person who's ever made me root for Mike the Mouth. As for the audio, it's awful, and it's what I'm watching for too. I'll stick it out and look for that rivered flush.
