The Brooklyn Cyclones Go to the Darth Side
Star Wars theme jerseys are not a new phenomenon, but this year Minor League Baseball teams have really taken it up a notch.
The Wisconsin Timber Rattlers are Luke's father, the Kane County Cougars are makin' Wookiee, and the Durham Bulls are 2D2 (just to name a few examples). But one team just might have trumped them all, and that team is the Brooklyn Cyclones. On the evening of August 2, the Cyclones will become the "Sithclones." And on that night they will wear these jerseys, with "Brooklyn" written out in Aurebesh (the high galactic alphabet).
Be afraid:
For more information on this Padawan of a kind initiative, I now direct you to Cyclones director of communications Billy Harner:
Last season, the Cyclones held the first-ever Star Wars Night at MCU Park in front of a capacity crowd on Coney Island. It was such a success that we knew we needed to bring it back for the 2014 season. But how do you improve on a first-pitch from Darth Vader, light saber battles on the field, a meet and greet with Princess Leia, and a post-game family sleepover on the field? It was tough…but we found a way.
On Saturday, August 2nd, the first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a Padawan Pee Wee bobblehead featuring our youngest mascot in the form of a Jedi Apprentice.
But that's not all. The team will also be wearing one-of-a-kind Sithclones Jerseys on the field that evening which will be raffled off to benefit local charities. The jerseys feature the emblem of the Sith Empire on the right sleeve, and has "Brooklyn" spelt across the chest in "Aurebesh."
"Best" is a subjective term, so whether these are the "best" Star Wars jerseys is a matter of debate. What isn't up for the debate is this: these are the most terrifying Star Wars theme jerseys ever created. If I was at this game, I'd truly be concerned about the possibility of them gaining sentience.
And, lest we forget, the sure-to-go-national Star Wars promo comes on the heels of the Cyclones' already-gone-national Seinfeld promo.
Sez the team:
On July 5, 1989, the "Seinfeld Chronicles" aired on NBC for the first time and 25 years later, the Cyclones will celebrate the "show about nothing" that has left an indelible mark on popular culture. The first 2,500 fans in attendance will receive a Keith Hernandez "Magic Loogie" Bobblehead. In addition, there will be non-stop Seinfeld themed entertainment from beginning to end. Yada yada yada…you'll have an awesome night.
How do you say "Magic Loogie" in Aurebesh?
The Most Popular Blog Post of All Time
During my recent run of bouillabaisse blog posts, I took the time to parse the "Year in Blogging" report that I had recently received from WordPress. For the purposes of today's post, I'd like to return to the following excerpt:
[T]he 2013 Year-End Blogging Report…included the following information regarding the search terms that led people to visit Ben's Biz: "Some visitors came searching, mostly for canadian tuxedo, ben's biz blog,bens biz blog, skateboard, and brett favre." The lesson here is that a picture of Brett Favre in an all-denim outfit riding a skateboard would be blog traffic gold. Can someone doctor one up for me?
I am happy to report that not one, but two, someones indeed doctored one up for me. Posting them here will drive my traffic to stratospheric new levels, insuring that I remain the most influential and indispensable blogger in Minor League Baseball history. This one is courtesy of Wisconsin Timber Rattlers creative director Ann Mollica, who, among other accomplishments, played a huge role in making the world aware of the Whitewall Ninja.
And this one is courtesy of a mysterious Twitter entity, known as @AizersWallet.
My sincere thanks to Ms. Mollica and Mr. AizersWallet for their photoshopped efforts on my behalf. And I thank you, random internet Google searcher, for your fleeting visit to Ben's Biz Blog. Before you leave, please take a moment to recognize that I am the greatest and also most underrated baseball writer of all time.
Thank you.
You know what else drives the eyeballs to this little slice of the internet landscape? Rhetorical questions.
But since I don't have any material related to that particular topic, I'll instead hit you with some logo news. Late last month, the polarizing but undoubtedly influential "ideas company" that is Brandiose announced the final re-branding of what had been a very busy offseason (Akron RubberDucks, El Paso Chihuahuas, Inland Empire 66ers, Vermont Lake Monsters, and more that I am probably forgetting as I sit here typing stream of consciousness-style).
Forthwith, the Vancouver Canadians will sport this updated look (note the "V" hidden within the leaf):
On the topic of "new logos with cool hidden elements," here's the Brooklyn Cyclones' 2014 New York-Penn League All-Star Game logo:
Even cooler are the jerseys that will be worn during the All-Star Game, which feature "the names of EVERY Player who made it from the NYPL to the Major Leagues watermarked into the pattern."
And, finally, how about a logo for a team that doesn't officially exist yet? If all goes according to plan, the Huntsville Stars will move to Biloxi in time for the 2015 season. This fledgling Southern League franchise, a Brewers affiliate, does not yet have a name. But it does have a website, and the website includes this logo:
Seeing those two B's together reminds me that I need an official "Ben's Biz" logo. Please, feel free to send over your prototypes.

As you may recall, the last post on this blog was a bountiful bouillabaisse of ripped-straight-from-the-notebook Minor League news items. Well, that's what this post is gonna be dedicated to as well.
But before we get started with that, please click THIS LINK to read this MiLB.com article detailing my Top 10 favorite Minor League stadiums. Feedback is appreciated and encouraged, and views both complementary and dissenting will be included in a future blog post.
And now, to the notebook!
I've never been a Jay Leno fan, but nonetheless there's always been one thing I've loved about his show and that's the weekly "Headlines" segment. And wouldn't you know it? Last month, none other than the Lehigh Valley IronPigs made an appearance thanks to this newspaper ad:
Watch it HERE, the IronPigs reference is around the 2:30 mark.
I haven't yet compiled my 2013 Minor League promotions spreadsheet (yes, compiling such a spreadsheet is an annual offseason task), but one giveaway item that has already caught my eye — and you know how painful that can be — comes courtesy of the Lake County Captains:
On Saturday, July 6, a Skipper Rock-N-Bobble doll featuring the Captains mascot paying tribute to Randy Newman, an inductee in this year's class of Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame musicians, will be given to the first 1,500 fans compliments of Sysco. This year's doll will also feature a sound clip from Randy Newman's Burn On, which is synonymous with the Major League movie.
Yes! A Randy Newman-themed giveaway. And one featuring a song from "Sail Away," arguably his best-ever album (it's certainly my favorite). Here's hoping Randy Newman promos spread through the Minors like a fire on the Cuyahoga. How about "Salute to American Foreign Policy Night"?
It's pretty much indisputable that the Lexington Legends possess the best team van in Minor League Baseball. Great slogan, horrible pick-up line:
Remember a few weeks back when I wrote about the Hickory Crawdads' "Day in the Minors" fan package? This post prompted an email response from New Hampshire Fisher Cats' media relations manager/broadcaster Tom Gauthier, who wrote:
While we don't have a program like [the Crawdads], we do offer a program for young kids to experience a day in the life. We work with Citizens Bank (sponsor love) to open up a handful of jobs for kids ages 6-16. They shadow with us for an afternoon and then through the game itself.
To read more about the Fisher Cats' "Kids Run the Show" promo, click HERE.
Meanwhile, I'm more than happy to have kids shadow me for a day. As a veteran blogger, I will teach them how to show up to the office late and disheveled, overpay for lunch in lieu of bringing your own, and write jokes on Twitter instead of doing meaningful work.
You may remember my piece last season on the art of scorekeeping. In this piece one of the fans profiled was the pseudonym-ed "Stevo," and I will now take the opportunity to direct you to his blog "The Baseball Enthusiast." Stevo has just begun a series of posts entitled "For Those Keeping Score at Home," featuring "intermediate to advanced" tricks of the trade.
I have a feeling that many readers of this blog will enjoy picking up what he's putting down.
I'm pretty sure that the Reading Fightin' Phils are the first team to give away their stadium, even if it is only for a day. Read all about it HERE. Or just look at this visual and wonder.
I know that snow-covered ballpark photos are so two weeks ago, but here's a good one courtesy of the New Britain Rock Cats. So soothing!
In what I believe is a Minor League anomaly, the hair of Wilmington Blue Rocks mascot Rocky is real and actually grows. And once it grows long enough, he's going to donate to Locks of Love. Click HERE to see his 'do.
Proving that just about anything can be capitalized on by Minor League Baseball teams, the Mobile BayBears recently opened their arms to distressed travelers after the beleaguered Carnival Triumph finally limped into Mobile.
Sez the team:
The Mobile BayBears would like to give all passengers aboard the Carnival Triumph cruise ship the opportunity to visit the Hank Aaron Childhood Home and Museum for free on Thursday and Friday February 14th and 15th.
"We understand travelers have been through a lot in the past few days," said team spokesman Craig Durham. "In an effort to make their time in Mobile as enjoyable as possible we encourage them to come see one of baseball's most unique museums and pay tribute to Mobile legend Hank Aaron."
The museum will be open from 9-5 on Thursday and Friday, and all non-Carnival passengers will be able to visit the museum for the standard price of $5.
NYC still has a long ways to go when it comes to fully recovering from Superstorm Sandy, and the Brooklyn Cyclones are doing their part via their "Meaningful Mondays" initiative. $3 from every ticket sold to every Monday game will go toward a local charity — read about it HERE.
Speaking of meaningful, I'd recommend that you read these most insightful observations from former Durham Bulls staffer Matt DeMargel regarding why employers should look at Minor League Baseball experience in a positive light.
And now I have reached the end of this notebook page and, therefore, the end of this post. I'll conclude by sharing this Augusta GreenJackets staff bio. The legend of Dumpster the Stadium Cat continues to grow!

Real Talk Regarding the Make-Believe
This past Friday sure turned out to be a doozy in the world of Minor League promotions. The independent Florence Freedom got most of the attention with the announcement of their "Manti Te'o Girlfriend" bobblehead (the box is empty, see?), but they were soon joined on the affiliated front by the Brooklyn Cyclones.
On June 21, the team will be staging "Fictitious Friday."
Below, please find a bite-sized portion of the Cyclones press release:
Anyone who purchases one ticket at regular price will be allowed to bring their make believe significant-other to the ballpark free of charge. Fans will also have the chance to draw a picture of their girlfriend, because obviously something came up and she couldn't make it, so that their friends can finally see what she looks like. As a special treat, MCU Park will host a unique petting zoo for those in attendance, featuring a unicorn, a mermaid, and a Minotaur. The Cyclones are also in discussions with the Loch Ness Monster and Big Foot to throw out a ceremonial first pitch that evening. In keeping with the tradition of Coney Island amusements, the Cyclones will put a spin on a traditional carnival game, as fans that are able to toss a ping-pong ball into a fish bowl will receive a catfish. Lastly, all of the player headshots used on the video board will just be random people whose photos we find on the Internet.
Eager, as always, to get the facts behind the fiction, I contacted the Brooklyn Cyclones for more info on this most imaginative of promotions. GM Steve Cohen was quick to provide answers to my queries:
Letting make-believe girlfriends in for free is a very generous gesture. How much do tickets for make-believe girlfriends usually cost?
Steve Cohen: It depends on if they take up a seat or not. To keep up with the ruse, you might need an empty seat next to you in case you run into somebody you know. This way if they ask where your girlfriend went, you can tell them "Oh, you just missed her. She just went to grab something to eat, but she was sitting right here." We have always supported make believe girlfriends – haven't you seen our staff?
How are your negotiations with the Loch Ness Monster and Bigfoot progressing?
Steve Cohen: Not good. The market for make-believe creatures is currently at an all-time high. Their agents see this as a golden opportunity to cash in and they are asking an enormous amount as an appearance fee. Plus they are making odd demands like every picture we take of them needs to be out of focus and from at least 100 yards away.
How many catfish do you expect to give away on this special evening?
Steve Cohen: We had a couple wash into our office during Super Storm Sandy, so we already have a pretty decent supply to start off with.
If this promotion is a success, will other make-believe promotions follow?
Steve Cohen: You bet — the make-believe ones are a lot less expensive than the real ones!
And would you believe that yet another team has jumped into the fray? I bet you would! In the wake of the Cyclones' "Fictitious Friday," the San Jose Giants announced that April 12 would be "Lennay Kekua Night." Per the team:
Items such as catfish will be featured on the Turkey Mike's BBQ menu and fans who purchase a game ticket can bring their imaginary or real significant other to the game for free. A meet and greet will also take place prior to the game for all couples to introduce their significant others to their parents, to avoid any confusion about the existence of a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Two free future game tickets will be given to all fans who dress like Manti Te'o and to all Stanford University students because they may know or be Te'o's girlfriend. During the game, promotions will include individuals and their imaginary significant others competing to win great prizes.
For the record, I am no stranger to on-field solo competition:
Oh, and "speaking" of the Lake County Captains: on Friday they announced the first Lance Armstrong-themed promotion in Minor League Baseball (my guess is that, risky topic or not, other teams will follow suit). I went ahead and wrote an MiLB.com news piece on it, yet another specious example of how I am using whatever talents I have to the best of my abilities. Here's the graphic that ran with the piece:
And that's about all I have to report on regarding this particular news "cycle."
(Not) On the Road: Beach Bums and No Buns in Brooklyn
Last Friday, just two days after visiting the quiet confines of Staten Island's Richmond County Bank Ballpark, I once again hit the subway in order to visit a New York City-based Minor League Baseball team. In fact, let me recycle the same photo I used in the last post:
But whereas the route to Staten Island begins with the 1 train, the journey to Coney Island — home of the Brooklyn Cyclones — begins (and ends) with the F. The above is where it starts, and here, some 27 (!) stops later, is where it terminates.
Coney Island, baby! Smell that ocean breeze.
But you know what? 27 stops or not, Cyclones game or not, Coney Island is always worth the trip. Always. The neighborhood has had dramatic ups and downs through the years — and is currently in a state of flux — but its status as New York City's summertime playground remains intact. As soon as one leaves the subway, you just feel it. This is Coney Island, and Coney Island is like no place else.
The mural below is courtesy of the controversial Thor Equities, who have initiated many development projects in the neighborhood. While it's hard to argue with progress, to what extent will it obliterate Coney Island's idiosyncratic charm?
One place that's not going anywhere is the flagship location of Nathan's Hot Dogs. 96 years as a neighborhood anchor and still going strong!
The not-so-charmingly named MCU Park is located just down the street on Surf Avenue. Along the way, one walks by this scrappy Nathan's competitor. From an aesthetic standpoint, this might be my favorite storefront in all of NYC.
This a busy time of year for all involved, and my communication with the team in the week leading up this ballgame was minimal. So, as had also been the case with Staten Island, I decided to attend this game more or less as a civilian. I picked up my tickets at will call, and received my ego boost of the evening when, after looking at my ID, Cyclones account executive Josh Hernandez said "I read your blog!" (I spend way too much time by myself in front of a computer. That kind of thing goes a long way).
Around the corner is the main entrance and — hey — what do you know? There were two people I knew standing there. The woman in the grey skirt, looking at the camera, is my cousin Jane. And the gentleman in the basketball jersey walking toward her is her boyfriend Jesse (who, rumor has it, once won a "best biceps in Brooklyn" competition). Those two will make a more substantial appearance in the "narrative" in just a moment.
Our seats were behind home plate, and when we mistakenly sat in the wrong section a friendly but aggressive usher immediately moved us over. He was just doing his job, but it was annoying to be stuck in the middle of row, disrupting people on both sides, when there was room elsewhere.
"Do you know who I am?" I felt like saying. "I'm a guy who spends most of his waking hours alone and in front of a computer screen!"
But they were good seats.
Soon after sitting down, Jane spotted a squadron of pom-pom wielding young ladies atop the first base dugout and incredulously asked me "Baseball has cheerleaders?!"
Usually, that answer is an emphatic "no." But, Brooklyn being Brooklyn, Brooklyn has the Beach Bums. Here they are performing between innings.
But we weren't there just to watch baseball. Or Beach Bums. Upon hearing of my "designated eater" concept (in which others eat the ballpark food that I, with celiac disease, can not) Jane had expressed prodigious interest. Jesse was on board as well.
The Cyclones lean heavily on Nathan's iconic appeal, as nearly all of the concession stands put the focus on hot dogs and crinkle-cut fries.
My gluten-free options were limited, but certainly not non-existent. But as I was placing my order, Jane and Jesse decided that this was not the concession stand for them. The hot dogs didn't have toppings!
They re-located to this nearby stand, whose line was far more manageable anyway.
I bade my time by watching this fan enthusiastically join in on another Beach Bums dance routine.
It was a beautiful atmosphere all around.
Finally, Jane and Jesse were ready to go: Nathan's Dog's with all of the fixings, with baseball in Brooklyn as the backdrop. It doesn't get any more American than that!
These two made exceedingly quick work of their delicious frankfurters. And looked beautiful doing it.
Now it was my turn. Celiac disease might have me down when it comes to ballpark food options, but I'm never out! At first I kept things close to the vest.
But soon it was time for the big reveal. I had ordered my first-ever hot dog, sans bun! (An email to Nathan's HQ had confirmed that the dogs themselves are gluten-free.)
A hot dog by its lonesome is an admittedly pathetic sight, and you don't get any sort of discount for ordering one without the bun (but it certainly wasn't a problem, as the friendly woman at the counter simply asked one of her colleagues to pluck a fresh one right off of the grill). But, here's the thing — it tasted really, really good. I felt like I was eating a premium piece of beef jerky — crispy, salty, and well-spiced.
This led to a realization — the bun only gets in the way, and should one wish to be a true frankfurter connoisseur then it needs to be consumed in its naked state. Just as it would be pure folly to drink a fine single-malt scotch on the rocks, it is an unnecessary dilution of the gustatory experience to ensconce a lovingly crafted tubular meat product within a poorly defined lump of dough.
Am I on to something here, or are these merely the ravings of a poorly defined man ensconced in front of a keyboard? Please let me know!
After dinner, we decided to sit in some seats that allowed more room to move. We ensconced ourselves down the third base line, just in time to see a dance-off between Sandy the Seagull, a random fan, a Beach Bum, and on-field MC King Henry.
The fan won, of course, but it is King Henry that captured my attention.
The King has been a Cyclones staple since 2003, and on the team's web site one learns that his real name is Guy Zoda and that he "has been a professional entertainer since 1989 specializing in family entertainment, business promotion and marketing." He keeps things family-friendly, but nonetheless has an abrasive New York edge and always seems like he's on the verge of going blue. (I could definitely envision King Henry as a cast member on Get A Life, hanging out with chain-smoking cop-turned-landlord Brian Doyle Murray, but that's an obscure cultural reference for another day.)
The Cyclones do a great job of creating a colorful, anything goes environment (even though the pink gorilla I spotted on previous occasions was nowhere to be found). Here, mascot Sandy throws t-shirts off of the stadium's second level.
Next up was the "Dime Big Deal" (not to be confused with the dime bag deal one can find outside on the boardwalk), in which a fan guesses which one of the four letters in "DIME" contains $500 in cash.
The fan was wrong.
And oh, wait, what? Pretty soon the game was over! How did that happen?
The Cyclones victory was followed by fireworks…
…which can be viewed both in and outside of the ballpark.
I soon bade farewell to the voracious hot dog eaters whose company had I enjoyed, but not before taking a picture in a most apropos location.
I meanwhile, lingered around a bit longer. For this was an atmosphere worth recording: Coney Island at 9:30 on a Friday night in the heart of the summer. There's nothing like it.
Sideshows by the Seashore, located on Surf Avenue and West 12th and run by the eminently worthwhile organization Coney Island USA, is an absolute must-see diversion.
Especially if this guy is working the door.
More sights!
Out of focus fireworks aftermath, taken with a fisheye lens effect. Photojournalism at its finest!
And, finally, there's a reason that this team is called the Cyclones. Here it is, in all its neck-breaking glory.
News Explosion!
The last couple of weeks were slower than a sloth on a treadmill, but boy oh boy have times changed.
All of a sudden it feels like the season again, with news and notes coming in from left and right and everywhere in between. It's time to start posting, because the content levels are rising and soon I might drown — alone and forgotten in a remote corner of MiLB.com HQ.
To the Bullet Points!
– The New York-Penn League may not start play for another three months, but that didn't stop the Brooklyn Cyclones from releasing a picture of their Angel Pagan bobblehead. I'm glad that they took his first name literally as opposed to the surname, because a bobblehead depicting the ballplayer as a hedonistic polytheist probably wouldn't go over too well.
— Meanwhile, Brooklyn's NYPL rivals the Lowell Spinners announced the follow-up to last year's celebration of Bubblewrap.The team will stage a "Flossing World Record Attempt" on June 29, a promotion recommended by four out of five dentists. My extensive research into this most crucial of topics revealed that previous attempts have involved a huge single strand of custom-made floss.
I'm not sure if this will be the case in Lowell, but either way I recommend that this product serve as the official sponsor.
– In other follow-up news, the Lake County Captains are continuing with the Christmas Story themed giveaways that started with last season's "Skipper Leg Lamp." On July 23, fans will receive a bobble doll in which Skipper's nose is stuck to a foul pole. I haven't obtained a picture yet, but this item is of course a reference to this:
– Another notable jersey hailing from the preeminent Midwest is that which the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers will be wearing during Sunday home games. This one is like an undersized fish — total throwback.
That's Amore (Burger Than You Can Handle)
There's a well-known saying that goes "The way to a man's heart is to put heart-shaped food into his stomach."
The West Michigan Whitecaps have taken that to heart, as the team is now offering the world-famous Fifth-Third burger in the shape of a heart. This, truly, is a heart-stopping Valentine's Day gift.
The Fifth Third Burger has been very well-documented, here and elsewhere. But, as the team notes:
[T]his Valentine's day beauty is no ordinary Fifth Third Burger…it has been customized for this one special occasion with a giant heart-shaped bun to please your sweetie.
Nutritionally, you can't go wrong with this culinary piece of art. Weighing in at four pounds, the Valentine's Day Fifth Third Burger has 4,889 calories and 299.5 grams of fat. Pound for pound, that's just a little more than half of the fat and calories in four pounds of Hershey's Milk Chocolate, which contains 9,000 calories and 557 grams of
fat. What a nutritional bargain!…The Fifth Third Burger heart-shaped bomb is available for just $30, but if you want a truly special unforgettable moment, opt for the $100 package and Crash the River Rascal will deliver this winner right to your special someone. He (or she) might even share this delicious dinner with you by candlelight.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the below photo is to scale:
As mentioned previously, I'm planning on doing a "Valentine's Day in the Minors" post next week. But this bit of news I couldn't resist, as it put my heart in my stomach.
Meanwhile, and stop me if you've heard it already, but the Brooklyn Cyclones have offered Christina Aguilera a National Anthem do-over.
Each year, it seems like someone makes a mistake and because it happens in the Super Bowl, the whole world is buzzing about it the next day. This year's victim is four-time Grammy Award Winner and Staten Island, NY native Christina Aguilera whose slip-up during the Star-Spangled Banner has everyone talking.
With that in mind, the Brooklyn Cyclones have offered Christina Aguilera the opportunity to perform the National Anthem at MCU Park this summer. The team will even provide her a copy of the lyrics to prevent another
mishap from occurring.
I like the phrasing there, that the team will "even" provide Christina Aguilera a copy of the lyrics. Talk about a unique and irresistible bargaining chip!
Thank you for bearing with me yet again as we trudge in lockstep toward opening day. As the Salem Red Sox so eloquently tweeted yesterday:
If Phileas Fogg began his journey today, he'd be 20 days late for the Salem Red Sox season opener. #OnlySixtyDaysAway
And now that number has been reduced to 59. You better get moving, Phileas.
Promo Year in Review, Part Two: Theme Nights
The Promo Year In Review train is rolling along right on schedule, making a stop today at teeming "Theme Night" station.

The point of sharing these lists is not just to reminisce on the season that was, but for YOU to let me know what I'm missing. Yes, YOU. Whether you're a fan, team employee, or covert operative existing in a shady nether region between the two entities, I want to hear from YOU.
Two promotions will be added to each list based on your input, setting the stage for next week's series of "Promotion of the Year" polls on MiLB.com. Apathy is tantamount to treason, so rack your brain and get in touch today.

Brooklyn Cyclones — Ike Davis Bobble Legs
Charleston RiverDogs – Chia Head of groundskeeper Mike Williams

We were honored to welcome Ken Waltzer, Professor of History and Director-MSU Jewish Studies who shared his thoughts on "A New Era in Jewish History." Dr. Waltzer explored the renaissance of anti-Semitism in the world in recent decades, including the upsurge of claims that Jews manipulate global and national events, the strengths of American exceptionalism, and the new anti-Semitism that focuses aggressively against Israel, the Jewish state. As anticipated, we had considerable discussion and exchange.

Empires of the Word : A Language History of the World (original 2005; edition 2005)
by Nicholas Ostler
Work details
Empires of the Word: A Language History of the World by Nicholas Ostler (2005)
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I think this a superior production, and Mr. Ostler seems to know his business. There are even some hints about how a tongue can connive towards its own longevity.
Seemingly exhaustive survey of the history of languages around the world. Written mostly for the expert. I, being only mildly interested in the topic, soon got bogged down. A more popular version of this book (without all the niggly detail) could have been written in 300 pages rather than 560! The parts I did understand, I enjoyed and will admit to skimming a lot of the rest, thankful that there was not a test at the end!
Fascinating account of the development of world languages. The best overview I have found - detailed and knowledgeable without being dry.
a world history through the major languages. Just my kind of tome: learned but written in a worn-lightly way. The languages come across almost like living people. The section on Greek is especially fascinating. Witty ironies here and there about what makes languages, cultures, powers survive or fade. Think Oswald Spengler or Arnold Toynbee if they'd tried to do standup at the Ed Fringe.
An impressive and sweeping view of the history of languages throughout human history. It tackles some of the big questions: Why do some languages die out? Why do some flourish, like Chinese or English?
As it turns out, it's a really complex issue. The book starts with the earliest languages (Sumerian, Akkadian, etc.) and moves all the way up through the colonial and modern eras, and speculates on the rise and fall of our languages in the future.
This is dense, but fascinating stuff.
It's a history of all languages – some have called it a macro-history. The ambition of this book is really extraordinary. There have been lots of histories of English, and there are lots of histories of other languages in those languages, but actually to try and write a history of the whole of language is an incredibly audacious thing, and Ostler pulls it off.
A marvelous book, learned and instructive.
This is a great book. After reading it you will never think of language in the same way again - and you will probably think of the world, and its future, in a rather different way too.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060935723, Paperback)
Nicholas Ostler's Empires of the Word is the first history of the world's great tongues, gloriously celebrating the wonder of words that binds communities together and makes possible both the living of a common history and the telling of it. From the uncanny resilience of Chinese through twenty centuries of invasions to the engaging self-regard of Greek and to the struggles that gave birth to the languages of modern Europe, these epic achievements and more are brilliantly explored, as are the fascinating failures of once "universal" languages. A splendid, authoritative, and remarkable work, it demonstrates how the language history of the world eloquently reveals the real character of our planet's diverse peoples and prepares us for a linguistic future full of surprises.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:23:30 -0400)
"The story of the world in the last five thousand years is above all the story of its languages. Yet the history of the world's great languages has been very little told. Empires of the Word, by the wide-ranging linguist Nicholas Ostler, is the first to bring together the tales in all their glorious variety: the amazing innovations in education, culture, and diplomacy devised by speakers of Sumerian and its successors in the Middle East, right up to the Arabic of the present day; the uncanny resilience of Chinese through twenty centuries of invasions; the charmed progress of Sanskrit from north India to Java and Japan; the engaging self-regard of Greek; the struggles that gave birth to the languages of modern Europe; and the global spread of English."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Fogg Insurance Agencies Limited Rebrands as Argus Insurance Agencies Limited
Fogg Insurance Agencies Limited (Fogg) has today rebranded as Argus Insurance Agencies Limited (AIAL), signalling the company's further integration with the Argus Group. As part of the Argus Group, AIAL has access to the technical talent and industry knowledge of an international organisation with total assets of US$1.9 billion.
Dr Vanessa Borg, Chief Executive at AIAL, said, 'Our organisation has been part of the Argus family since 2010. This transition will further engage our employees creating a renewed sense of pride and an even closer bond with the Argus Group. Product development complimented by enriched service offerings will act as cornerstones of this new brand platform. We are thrilled to be affiliated to an international group, and this milestone marks the Argus Group's continued commitment to further local investment"
AIAL will continue to offer its existing portfolio of products and these will be enhanced with new product lines in the very near future. The presence of the Argus Group in Malta brings several benefits, including access to specialised expertise and knowledge of small jurisdictions and its experience working with the broader community on issues relating to health care, pensions and employee benefits.
Alison Hill, CEO of the Argus Group, said, 'We are looking forward to further strengthening the relationship with our Maltese colleagues and customers. A large number of our clients have been doing business with us for many years and we assure them that AIAL will continue to match their expectations. Indeed, our company philosophy of 'Our interest is you' is something we believe in and are totally committed to.'
The decision to officially launch the Argus brand in Malta is also based on the Group's long term commitment to Malta and the further development of the insurance and financial services industries. 'Malta is a great place to do business, and we look forward to building an even stronger presence here in the future as we seek to develop Malta as a hub for our regional operations,' said Ms Hill.

Good fit, could be heavier.

Good fit, could be heavier. Seems to be a fair value.

This is a high-quality product (as with all Lloyds Ultimats). However, the fit is just ok. It goes in fine, but does not completely follow the outline of the floor. Also, the S-Gray color is way off, looking almost tan--nothing like the picture. The tag does say S-Gray, but I do wonder if the factory used the wrong carpet material.

Jamey Giddens January 18, 2011 All My Children, Comings & Goings, General Hospital, One Life to Live 69 Comments What is going on in daytime? First news broke of Jay Kenneth Johnson and Shelly Hennig leaving Days of Our Lives. Then word began circulating that Babs Bloom was out at CBS Daytime, now we're hearing the unthinkable—Rebecca Herbst (Liz) has allegedly been fired from General Hospital! Numerous sources say the insanely popular star was told she will be written out of the soap this March. Un-FREAKING-Believable… Photo by PR Photos 69 Responses jlafferty23 January 18, 2011 OMG!!! I am no fan of Liz, but I love LnL2, and I think Becky is fantastic. I really hope this is not true!! Log in to Reply AllmyDaysatGh January 19, 2011 OMG! I will be so upset if she leaves. I just love her & Elizabeth both…. Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 January 19, 2011 Guza needs to be fired, he destroyed Liason and the show's history in the last ten years. Unfreakingbelievable. Log in to Reply Daniel Pearce January 19, 2011 HIDE YOUR KIDS! HIDE YOUR WIFE! Log in to Reply BFluellen1 January 19, 2011 Wow. I am sorry but Liz is like the last thing that ties the Hardys to the canvas. Her leaving would be a tragedy. But I guess after Guza dragged her through the mud, he has nothing left to do with the character. Such a tragedy. Log in to Reply GHfan-4now January 19, 2011 AW NAW, HELL NAW!!!! What are my fellow LIZ PEEPS GONNA SAY ABOUT THIS?????? OMG, Imma need a moment!!!! I have to change my picture back to Liz just for this mess. I really, really, REALLY, hope this is just a RUMOR. Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 January 19, 2011 They say it is a rumor, but with the way the show is writing Liz lately, I wouldn't be surprised if it was true. Man, smdh Log in to Reply Smitty January 19, 2011 *grabs popcorn and pours a vodka & cranberry* Log in to Reply Courtney fan4life January 19, 2011 YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!! Sorry to her fans but I hate Liz. Shes such a hypocrite! And no this isn't a Sam fan just hating on Liz because I despise Sam as well. Log in to Reply soapscribe January 19, 2011 I love her. She would make a great Bridget Forrester on B&B. Log in to Reply jlafferty23 January 19, 2011 Like I said, I'm not a Liz fan, but it's a fact that Liz and RH have a huge fan base, this would just be plain stupid on GH's part. Log in to Reply samanthadelayed January 19, 2011 I hope this is a rumor because if not this sucks big time. Like the character or not, Rebecca doesn't deserve to be treated like that. Log in to Reply appleridge January 19, 2011 Guza Only Does Stupid Log in to Reply KMRDaytime January 19, 2011 I have followed GH most of my life but I stopped watching about the time TPB decided to decimate Liz 's and Jason's history to force feed the viewers Jasam. I wouldn't have minded if they wrote it to happen organically but they completely destroyed two of my oldest favorite characters – Jason and Liz to follow the Frons agenda. Someone has to explain to Frons and Guza that there is far more drama when a person must choose between two "good" choices rather than one "great" and one "horrible" choice. Although I haven't watched the show in quite awhile — I still have kept up by reading summaries looking for a glimmer of a reason to go back but if this is true and Liz is gone, then I will only revisit Port Charles on youtube and consider the show as having ended right before Jason and Liz got the call about Michael being shot. Log in to Reply Nicole_CJ January 19, 2011 The people over at ABC and GH better hope that when they get to work tommorow the studio is not burned down. There are a ton of other characters that could be let go before Liz. Log in to Reply jujube1013 January 19, 2011 good, now i don't have to even watch this crap show on yt.but i will watch whatever show she goes to next. Log in to Reply cinnamitch January 19, 2011 Then why bother to bring her brother back on the canvas? Stupid, stupid stupid. They just don't want to write story for any of the vets because to do that they would actually have to read the history of GH instead of phoning in the crap they write now. Oh and to TPTB, I'm not some newbie fan. I have watched GH since 1967. I know it can be better than it is. Log in to Reply starmaiden January 19, 2011 I for one will be really upset. I love Liz and think that there is still plenty to tell regarding her story. They have really ruined this show and if Liz leaves I will stop watching. Log in to Reply KMRDaytime January 19, 2011 [quote=soapscribe]I love her. She would make a great Bridget Forrester on B&B.[/quote] I always though she could make an interesting Mac on Y&R if people can get past the way the character was written in the previous incarnation… Log in to Reply chinfur07 January 19, 2011 The people who need to be fired at GH are Phelps, Guza, and Frons. These three idiots are just ridiculous. They have totally destroyed the best soap on TV and turned it into a boring, dark, idiotic romp of nothing but the mob. I am sick to death of them and their Sonny/Brenda/Carly/Jason show. Fire Becky? Bring on a Jasam baby? I hope this soap ends up exactly where it is headed–the bottom of the pile. But I won't be watching it. Log in to Reply aramis270 January 19, 2011 This must be only a rumour… If not, I really don't understand? Whether you like Liz or not, she is a very well-known, long time character of the show and has a huge fanbase (I am part of it). At the same time, we see that GH has not one BUT FOUR casting calls for new characters??? What is wrong at Prospect? We say we want more Qs, more Scorpio, more Davies, more Webbers, more iconic families of the show and all we get is more spawn for Sonny, new women for Sonny, new opponents for Sonny … Sonny, Sonny, Sonny and all things Corinthos. Is Guza thinking that Dante needs more airtime? As if Liz was given any lately? This is wrong on so many levels that I refuse to believe it. There will be a consequence in ratings if they do that and they can bring all the Franco and hunks of the world, it will not help as they are not even able to write for the majority of the cast lately. I will believe it only once it is confirmed. And THEN I will really think that the only thing that Guza is trying to achieve is to get GH cancelled. Log in to Reply kerfuffles January 19, 2011 [quote=jlafferty23]Like I said, I'm not a Liz fan, but it's a fact that Liz and RH have a huge fan base, this would just be plain stupid on GH's part.[/quote] Totes agree. I don't like Liz–and at times I've actively disliked her–but this news doesn't make me happy. She has a big fanbase and has such important ties to the show's history. It seems just plain dumb to get rid of her. Lawd…get rid of obnoxious Brenda instead! I'm sure she costs as much as three RH's! Log in to Reply jlafferty23 January 19, 2011 I like how people blame Guza right away The guy is the head writer, he has no say on who stays or goes!! Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 January 19, 2011 Wish Rebecca Herbst much success. Log in to Reply alstonboy4315 January 19, 2011 I don't understand why they would toss her overboard after over 13 years!!! Are they going to recast the role or send Elizabeth out of town???? I am not a huge Liz fan, but I agree that Rebecca doesn't deserve to be tossed overboard for no good reason. I doubt that she pissed anyone in charge off because she seems like a sweetheart who only wants to work and go home to her husband and kids!!! I really dont' want to see another key character get killed off, so I hope that they will at LEAST spare the character. But this really is coming out of left field and I really dont' get it!! Did Vanessa or one of the other "big wigs" throw a temper tantrum and demand more money?? Are they sacrificing Rebecca so that they can distribute her salary to some other cast member(s)??? And don't give me that tired "We've run out of story for this character" nonsense!! A good head writer/executive producer should NEVER run out of story!!! Never!!! I hope this is a rumor because I do like Becky!! She has three kids to support!! Sheesh!!!!!! Log in to Reply appleridge January 19, 2011 Jlafferty Thats The Way Most Shows Work But I Think Its Safe To assume That Guza Has a lot of Pull at GH and Yes even More than Phelps.

Oh lord in the morning… This is not goood… Jamey is gonna kill somebody LOL. Log in to Reply sweethart963 January 19, 2011 If this is true I am done with GH and ABC. RH is the only reason I still give GH the time of day. Not having Liason was bad enough but getting rid of Elizabeth/RH is the final straw. If Rebecca Herbst goes, I go and so will many, many others. Log in to Reply siomonstuart2003 January 19, 2011 She is a part of a legacy core family and has a large fanbase and to get rid of her is ridiculous and dumb of tptb.

Log in to Reply GAgal28 January 19, 2011 OMGOSH!!! This is INSANE! That's it I've had it with GH. I can not believe this. Why would they fire her? She's one of the last remaining "vets" on that show. This is truly a sad, sad day for General Hospital. What's the point of keeping Steve around if his sister isn't on the show? I'm just stunned & shocked & seriously disappointed. I will NOT be watching this soap anymore. End of story. All Guza wants is the mob & who cares about the rest. And they keep adding all these NEW characters that have NO history with the show, while pushing out & bypassing the vets. Just unbelievable. *tears* Thank God I had the sense to start watching/go back to OLTL when I did in May. Log in to Reply jlafferty23 January 19, 2011 Oh wow….

This has to be a joke! Those are just characters who have come in the last year who mean nothing to me, the history of the show, or a good story. I am not even a huge Liz fan, but I find this to be unacceptable. Aiden's paternity hasn't even been discovered, and is no where on the radar, so how are they going to write off his freaking mother? I honestly hope they lose 500k viewers over this. This makes NO sense, and whoever is making this decision cough*Frons, JFP, Guza*cough have just proven yet again why they need to be fired!

Log in to Reply samIShot January 19, 2011 not only her kid with jason, but she also has a kid and a story with lucky/nikolas. i don't really get how that can play out now… the writing on GH is just terrible anyway. Also, why do they keep people like siobhan around? they really need to do a complete cleansing of this show and almost start over and when i say that, i mean completely ignore the past, bring back alan and emily (the real emily – and they can find a way), focus on the Q's and Jason/Michael's relationship with them. You want ratings, make the Qs the focus of the show again. Log in to Reply suspended_reality January 19, 2011 Guza and Frons have been running this show into the ground for several years, and this just cements my (very poor) opinion of them. The misogynistic tools cannot write a strong woman if thier lives depended on it, and feel a need to tear down every other character to prop their ridiculous mob stories and the unholy trio. Best wishes to Becky…maybe she can land on B&B, and reunite with Rick Hearst…they have smokin' chemistry together! Log in to Reply SoapFan75 January 19, 2011 I hate this for Rebecca but the writing was kinda on the wall. GH has a bloated cast and her most popular leading men, Jason or Lucky, are now placed in couplings that Fronsie endorses wholeheartedly. This really sucks, they have pretty much ruined the character and I can only imagine the horrible exit story she will get. Maybe they will stick the knife deeper into the wound by having her die and JaSam will raise Jake. Arghhh! Log in to Reply Marcelle January 19, 2011 Kenneth Jay Johnson, and Rebecca Herbst as the new JT and Mac on Y&R. Maria, make it happen! LOL Log in to Reply GHfan-4now January 19, 2011 lol, jlafferty! Even on opposite sides of Liz, we can agree that this sucks! It's bad enough that they had her messing around with Nik so that we had no chance of getting back the original LnL2 and THEN they pull a stunt like this before we can get Aiden being Lucky's son??? Can the man get a child of his own??? Tell you what, I'll bring the matches, you bring the bricks! :bigsmile: Log in to Reply grambeth73 January 19, 2011 This makes me very sad. She is fan favorite. It just goes to show how little the station, writers and producers care about their audience. I must say, I am sure this door closing will be a huge step for her to get on a soap or show that appreciates her talent and her fan base that will follow her whever she goes. I say "bye bye General Hospital, you will no longer be a part of my day". Log in to Reply aramis270 January 19, 2011 jlafferty, Phelps does nothing without Guza and Frons approval (she said it herself a few months ago!) so blaming the woman and sparing Guza? No way. Guza as headwriter has not written anything interesting and valuable for Liz for years. And now it ends like this. And I am sorry but you will never make me believe that had Guza wanted to keep and write for Becky, she would still be gone today. But in the end, I agree with you on the most important which is that firing BH is not a good idea at all… Log in to Reply Miry January 19, 2011 Oh wow, this is very, very sad. Maybe um, the outrage will be soo overwhelming that they will be forced to bring her back (so that they can then claim that that was their plan all along & that they never really actually truly let her go??!! plz.). I wish RH the best of luck. Guza, Frons, and Phelps have GOT TO GO. Log in to Reply kerfuffles January 19, 2011 [quote=watchingallday]Stripper/hooker, boring Irish chick, utterly useless Claire, and Lisa all have jobs and contracts, and yet RH, who portrays a LEGACY character and is a good actress is the one that gets fired? This has to be a joke! Those are just characters who have come in the last year who mean nothing to me, the history of the show, or a good story. I am not even a huge Liz fan, but I find this to be unacceptable. [/quote] EXACTLY. I can't believe Ms. Lucky Charms and the stripper are staying and Liz is going. And I can't believe I'm this upset over a character I don't even like leaving the show. But it's just batshit crazy for TPTB to be firing her. Log in to Reply jlafferty23 January 19, 2011 GHfan!

At least then the character won't be such a drab piece of barely animated furniture and she worked with Jacob before back when he was Lucky. Log in to Reply brandy84 January 19, 2011 Good bye to GH, this is the end of the show, just like as the world turns. No more Gh for me, and I have been and viewer for years. One of the only vets left on the show, a great actress,really bad choice. Poor writing and management. As for the not to be missed, we will be missing it alright. Log in to Reply felicitygirl22 January 19, 2011 I would welcome RH on AMC, but not as nuMarissa. That character is completely useless and needs to be put to rest already. This decision is really pathetic! I bet RH wanted more of a storyline, so they decided to boot her instead. And for what? For a talentless Irish lass, Abby the hooker and Brook Lynn, the missing Kardashian? Or maybe her salary competed too much with Vanessa Marcil's? What idiots over at ABC! I blame Fronsie, whose ass needs to go asap. And let him take Guza & the DK/DS imbeciles with him!!! Log in to Reply Katiebug9624 January 19, 2011 I doubt it was because of Abby, Shioban or Brook Lynn (since I believe TC is going to be leaving soon) I think its because they've pretty much decided that JASAM are "IT" they have built the show around Sonny and his children, some Robin on the side, Lucky has a new love interest and the writers just want Elizabeth gone. With Elizabeth around L/L fans will still hold out for them just like the Jason/Liz fans will. They need her out of sight out of mind, to force feed us couples, and it also helps that they are getting rid of a Webber, the current writers don't want us to focus on the past families (you know the ones we loved) they want us to focus on the Corinthos, Jacks, Zachara, and shockingly Spencer/Scorpio (even though they are a smaller focus) Log in to Reply LadyM January 19, 2011 I can't believe they fired her! WTF! And a week AFTER they gave Erin a contract. This is un-fricken-believable! Log in to Reply josser January 19, 2011 jlafferty23, You're wrong. The headwriter has the ability to decide whether or not to write out a character. The network will either approve or disapprove of the firing. Frankly, I'm appalled by Herbst's firing. This must be about money. GH is trying to lower budget. Log in to Reply rozzberry January 19, 2011 Wow! I don't even watch GH & I'm stunned. I know enough of her, that I'd love to have her at AMC or Y&R. Log in to Reply Y2Jin99 January 19, 2011 AMC or OLTL would more than welcome her but please keep her away from that trash DOOL. Actors must be embarassed at some of the scripts they have to have read over the past 15+ years. DOOL was awesome in the 80s but it went downhill with Vivian burying Carly alive(they actually tried this again this year with maggie? WOW) and the even more laughable Marlena being possessed by the Devil and levitating on the bed. Have never been able to go back. I don't even think Rebecca could bring me back unless it was as Natalia Livingston's lesbian lover. LOL I heard she is there now or will be soon. Log in to Reply Kelly8970 January 19, 2011 GH has disappointed me for the last time. I will no longer be a GH viewer. This soap has so little regard for their veteran actors. It is extremely disheartening. I have no doubt another soap will snatch Becky up quickly. Log in to Reply soapoperafan January 19, 2011 What the hell? They are firing my Becky? We'll never see Cameron grow up? Not good. I know Lucky and Nicolas have both moved on but what about Jakey and Jason? Those scenes were so moving! Log in to Reply tardis1975 January 20, 2011 oh well everyone wanted brenda back…casualty of that is no liz at all… Log in to Reply BMWExoticBella January 21, 2011 i feel awful. i had to join this winter 2011 to give my overall consensus on such a classy woman on gh… this is liz. ok. a member of a legendary core family! I mean what is Robert Guza Jr,and idiots at Gh thinking to fire her? Are they insane.I think it is safe at this point to say yes. she is a beloved beautiful sweetheart of a lady,a real class act as far as TALENT GOES,speaking NOT of lizzie,but REBECCA HERBST! i am as many angry over it,but NOT too shock on such horrid indolent outlandish writing lately for her. she deserve so much better. i feel a clear act of a boycott,for a once AWESOME soap is in order! People saying this on all sites. even our site.if a boycott take place,and ALL(who are so angry)liz fans or RH fans preclude from watching as when allan suddendly"die"i think it will at least for a minute circumvent what is taking place.there is absolutely no valid excuse IMO to fire a great soap legend,yes i call RH character legend as any 1 whose on a soap for what? over 10 to 15 years with a CORE family. she is link to a CORE FAMILY! this is nuts. absurd and i feel bad for her and her thousands of fans.bless her in real life and her beautiful familia,and i hope to see her as bridget maybe on B&B,even if i like alison jones as bridge or some 1 else as she is a GREAT talent with classic beauty IMO and i like her…and will miss just seeing her on gh period.adios… ROBERT GUZA truly suck. yet MAXIE still there and sam mc call character, so obtuse. horrible and pathetic news from a man who suppose to know how to WRITE A SOAP.BOYCOTT GH and we shall see change. good luck to her. adios and may god bless your family and close loved ones everyone. BMWRedheadLawStudent@Gmail http://www.soapactressdivas.com/Forum Log in to Reply Marie S March 9, 2011 Killing off such an historical character is lazy writing. Get your heads out of your asses and get creative. Sleeping with Nikolas was a huge blunder for Liz's character, so clean it up!!!!!!!!!! Rebecca Herbst as Elizabeth Webber could completely re-energize GH by finally ending her tired old romantic ties (not familial) with Lucky, Nik and even Jason. Have this exceptional actress connect with new, exciting, non-mob oriented storylines and win back old fans. LOVE JASON and Sonny (hate Brenda), but I'm tired of the one-note storylines revolving around the same old Sonny vs. his enemy du jour. And sorry Franco, but your character adds nothing to the show.

Hopefully this fixes the decals 2 error. I though I had added this within the wad fix but I guess I didn't. Let me know of any other missing wads or other...
This is a mod I'm currently working on. I don't know when it will be finished yet. I have uploaded a few maps just to see if you like it. They are a few levels of the surface chapter. A bit strange but that's where I started. I plan to work from the surface and further than I will do the levels that came before it. I would like to say that the models you see are borrowed from the mods, black ops, black death, and opposing force redux enhancement pack. I am not an experienced modeler and I don't know anyone who is. I just found the best models I could. So give me no credit for any of the models. And also don't give me credit for the HUD because that was borrowed from black ops as well. The level design isn't perfect but you should find it to be at an acceptable level. The background is, you are a black op sent into black mesa to cover up the black mesa incident and destroy the remaining HECU.
You will visit mostly new and some old areas of black mesa
you will fight monsters from the original half-life and from opposing force
you will get mostly half-life weapons and a few opposing force weapons
fight along side with black ops (they will be the opposing force grunts in a black op skin) but that doesn't really take away from the mod.

Well after being dead for quite a while, I have finally risen from the grave. The reason why I was dead for so long is because Hammer became frustratingly unusable. It first started by me not being able to select items in the 3D view. I was told that it was some problem with ATI graphics cards (which I had). So I tried a couple of solutions which only solved some problems & caused others, so I eventually gave up. But months later my PC became horribly infested with viruses & had to be taken to someone to get fixed. After waiting for months I finally got my PC back just a couple of months ago. During the process of fixing my PC, a new graphics card was installed (my other one was no good), and this one is not an ATI, just recently I reinstalled Hammer & I didn't get these errors. Strange how a graphics card can cause such an odd error. So my mod is no longer dead, but I do not know how often I can really work on it, I am currently working on other projects involved with film making, nothing to do with modding. Hopefully I can finish this thing, & hopefully it does not die again.
Also, I have been notified that another user has duplicated my mod & is advertising it as his own. He even took my Demo & re-uploaded it. I would like everyone to report this user & his duplicate of my mod. Nobody should get away with stealing someones work & claiming it as their own.
Duplicate of my mod:
Well I can see that the duplicate of my mod has been taken care of. Thanks to everyone who reported it.
Hopefully this fixes the decals 2 error. I though I had added this within the wad fix but I guess I didn't. Let me know of any other missing wads or other...
This is ment to add the missing wads. This should fix the missing wad errors for anyone that was getting them.
a small little demo to give you a taste of gameplay
Looks cool! But can you create some Low Definition Models for your mod?
ummm, no. Even if this thing takes me a while to finish I don't think killing it would be a good idea.
Glad to see this alive :D
this mod should be made....2007 black ops ****** sucks
Wait till we finish Black Ops Source >;) Basically we are remaking the original and improving upon it so that it actually fits seamlessly into the Half Life universe.
Tho Id still want to play this mod I love playing mods on the gold source engine :D
Wasn't this done before? Ah well, I'd love to play another mod that you take the role of a Black Ops Assassin
Good to see some updates keep up the good work.
Hey man, BRILLIANT JOB!!!! I DOWNLOADED IT AND TRIED IT... IT REALLY FELT AS THOUGH I WERE A BLACK OPS AGENT SENT TO BLACK MESA TO KILL EVERYTHING!!
VERY NICELY DONE! But I must say that it was really difficult even on easy. Maybe you should include a training mission as well. Don't forget the G-Man! ;)
man im really looking forward to the completion of this mod. But I wanna ask you something. After I kill the 2 guards in the tower, what should I do? It leaves me nowhere to go.
Also, I'm looking forward in seeing the female assassins. Maybe u can use the medic and skin it as the assassin. there are just some ideas.
but overall, splendid job. i'm pleased :)
The place you are stuck at is where the mod ends, I should have made that more clear. Also, I have no knowledge on coding, so you may not get to fight with the female assassins, unfortunately.

4 reasons you need a MacBook Air
Gotta love Apple: Only the reclusive Cupertino company could command such a massive amount of attention for such underwhelming announcements. Oooo, HD movies on iTunes, only two months after Vudu started doing it. Then there's Apple TV Part 2, which may as well be subtitled Pretty Please, Won't You Buy It This Time? And now I can actually put a Google icon on my iPhone. Pretty hot, Apple!
The highlight of this afternoon's proceedings was of course the MacBook Air, the notebook that's as thin as a promise. Yes, be assured, this is the item YOU NEED RIGHT NOW. Why, you ask? Why isn't your current MacBook or (gasp!) non-Apple laptop good enough? Click Continue for why you've just gotta get some Air.
1. It's time to one-up those iPhone pansies. When Dale in the next cubicle got his iPhone on the first day last June, he was promptly mobbed like Jon Bon Jovi everywhere he went for a month straight. That memory still burns, doesn't it? Well, it's time you had a stint at BMoC, and the MacBook Air has the goods to elevate your status. If your officemates were impressed by Dale's Google Maps, just wait till they see you play a DVD in one machine and watch it on another. That's Air Magic, baby — you rule the day this time!
2. You don't send enough gifts via interoffice mail. As demonstrated by Steve-O at the keynote, the Air fits comfortably in a typical interoffice envelope. That's fantastic, since I often send gifts to my colleagues, and those gifts are often laptop computers. Now I can stop wasting all those FedEx boxes… it's win-win-win, really.
3. Do something about that disc addiction. CDs, DVDs, CD-ROMs, Blu-ray… enough with the optical-disc storage, already. You've got tons of those suckers lying around, don't you? And what's on them? That's right: movies, music, and files — who uses any of that? Time to get an Air and turn your back on this primitive era of "data."
4. Modern décor. Get two. Put them back-to-back on a shelf. Open them so the screens are at right angles to the keyboards. You've just created the most minimalist bookends ever. Worth every penny!

Who but You,
Could breathe and leave a trail of galaxies,
And dream of me?
What kind of love,
Is writing my story till the end,
With Mercy's Pen?
Only You,
What kind of King,
Would choose to wear a crown,
that bleeds and scars,
To win my heart,
What kind of love,
tells me I'm the reason He can't stay,
Inside the grave,
You, is it You?
Standing here before my eyes,
Every part of my heart cries,
Alive, Alive,
Look what mercy's overcome,
Death has lost and love has won,
Alive, Alive,
Hallelujah, Risen Lord,
the only One I fall before
I am His because He is,
Who could speak,
and send the demons back from where they came,
with just one name?
What other heart,
would let itself to be broken every time,
until He healed mine?
You, only You,
Could turn my darkness into dawn,
running right into your arms,
I am His because He is...
Emmanuel, the Promised King,
the baby who made angels sing,
Son of Man who walked with us,
Healing, breathing in our dust,
The Author of all history,
The answer to all mysteries,
The Lamb of God who rolled away,
the stone in front of every grave,

Do any of you Barley Crusher users have a gap preference that seems to yield good efficiency without turning the grain into meal? I think it's set at 0.039" now.
I just crushed my first run last night, white wheat for an American Wheat I'm doing this weekend and it literally made meal out of it. Should work fine because I'm doing BIAB using a fine mesh bag but this is too fine I think for use with a mash tun and manifold. Should I perhaps water condition the grain first?
Next up: American Pale Ale
Primary 1&2: American Brown Ale
Primary 3&4: Hopped up Belgian Tripel
Bottle Conditioning/drinking: Summer Kolsch, White Zombie (Amarillo IPA), English Pale Ale (ESB)
I have mine set at 0.040 and I do fine in a mash tun.
