The Soapbox: The inevitable Mass Effect MMO {Massively}
Mar 13th 2012 1:30PM The only way I would play a ME MMO (which trust me, i want one), would be that nobody from SWTOR touched it. And FFS, NO HERO ENGINE!
TERA beta videos show crafting, enchanting, Elin creation {Massively}
Feb 13th 2012 1:37PM I'm sorry, but the Elin are one of the many korean aspects of this game that just turn me off. I never played Aion, but i played FFXI for years before i knew better. This game is going to be grindy. When a kill quests gives you credit for 1-3 out of a group of 11, there is a problem. The mount system in the game is terrible. Yes, you can mount while moving, but you can't do ANYTHING on a mount other then accept and turn in quests and use vendors. If you try to drink, equip, attack, or anything of the sort, you have to manually dismount.
They claim to have spent this time westernizing this game, but i'm willing to bet all they dis was translate the game, do the mediocre to TERRIBLY campy VO, and change the names of the quests to me western pop culture references. There is a incredibly annoying and slightly creepy jiggle effect to most female models. Now, i'm no prude, but it's gross to me that i talk to a female quest giver, and even if all she is doing is breathing, her breasts sway with the breeze. Asian ideals of beauty are just creepy. And then i hear these Elin are the most popular race in korea because in pvp they have the smallest hit box? Sure.... that's exactly why the Elin are the most played by the koreans...
I tried liking this game, i really did. But i just can't see enjoying tanking in a game where the aim/combat system favors ranged and aoe over regular melee. It was annoying as hell to be a Lancer (tank) and learn that i will never get any sort of AOE, and that all of my abilities pretty much require the mobs to not be standing still in front of me or i miss.
The Daily Grind: What dead game would you play in a second if it revived? {Massively}

Earth and Beyond, all the way. How EA was allowed to handle another MMO after f-ing up E&B, i'll never know.
DC Universe Online's next update: Welcome to Paradise {Massively}
Feb 8th 2012 7:22PM You had me at future batman. Seriously, go watch the CG movies. Future batman is amazing. Depending on how it plays out, i'll give it another shot, but i'm happy with Rift again while i give SWTOR a while to shape up some more.
If you haven't tried it, DCUO is a pretty good MMO and def worth a try.
Meet the guild that's lasted over 16 years {Massively}
Feb 5th 2012 5:32PM I honestly think they're the first guild to act like a guild. They seek to have a large active roster that plans to stick around, they care about brand recognition, they have strict rules to keep people in line, and they care about their image.
I've been looking for a guild like this for a long time. So many guild are either too serious, too lax, or are a punch of douche bags. The last WoW guild i was in for example used several people including a sweet SWEET grandmother to farm mats for their raids under the context that one day they would raid.
'Just getting started': Scott Hartsman rallies the RIFT faithful for 2012 {Massively}
Feb 3rd 2012 7:22PM For some reason, as i was in bed the other night, i had the strange thought "hey, let's youtube videos of rift to see what happened" I had quit about 1 and a half months after launch and hadn't thought about it since. I had started dating somebody seriously, and i had become obsessed over SWTOR. So now that i'm at cap and bored with SWTOR, i'm playing Rift again and loving it. It's really a fresh and different approach to an MMO and i rather like how good Trion is with their customers.
They gave me 14 days to try out the game again and i'm going to be subscribing i think.

SWTOR impressions from Eurogamer Expo 2011, part 2 {Massively}
Oct 2nd 2011 1:45AM Have you guys ever considered that opinion isn't biased if their opinion is, they don't like something? I don't like beans, but that doesn't mean i have an agenda against beans.
I would like you guys to list "every" site that has a positive review for TOR. Listen, i'm gonna play TOR. I was INCREDIBLY excited about TOR until i saw GW2. Now i'm more excited about GW2, but i still want TOR.
The video game blog Kotaku has had nothing but negative and what i thought to be incredibly biased article about TOR. I had the same opinion about them as you guys seem to have about Massively.
But then i learned about betacake. It's a blog that posts info about MMOs; even NDA breaking stuff. Now, i would say about 70ish% of the Q&A and opinions from testers of the beta for TOR have an overwhelming negative opinion of the game for the very same aspect Massively calls out. This revelation has shaken my want for TOR, and i'm considering not dropping $250 for the collectors and just getting the regular edition.
I'm not saying you guys are babies and TOR is crap, and i'm not saying it's good. I can't give you my opinion on it until i do what all these writers have and played the game, but i'm not going to walk into a $250 dollar wall blindly if dozens of people are warning me not to.
If you look only at the good, that's all you'll see. Look at the whole and make the best opinion for you.

Bowling Green, Ky – The recent ice storm in Kentucky has destroyed many trees at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Larue County. That damage has contributed to the decision to hold the Lincoln bicentennial celebration at a local school. We hear from Sandy Brue, Director of Interpretation and Resource Management at the Historic Site.

Either one of those explanations would make sense, but pheww wee. I asked one of the CMs that night over at POTC and she said she was wondering herself but didn't know.
Might have been a combination of both of those things, possibly. Thanks for the info
BTW, I don't know if you saw in one of my prior posts, but was wondering if you ever been to the Sound of Magic, they had some pretty cool Haunted Mansion clips. Also, do you remember in the Haunted Mansion where they have the upside down stair cases, didn't when we were young there use to be a man caught in a spider web?
And FYI, Hidden Mickey in Ballroom table was gone, at least for that night.

Trend I loved: Light/Nude/Sheer dresses account for half of my best dressed list and an honourable mention.
Trend I'm Tired of: The Angelina's leg effect (with the exception of Eva Longoria's fabulous number). Let's face it, the leg is something only Angie can master… Many of the ladies simply looked silly and it's not something I believe fits a classy bill.
Without further ado, my top ten of the night go to:
1) Amanda Seyfried in Givenchy Haute Couture - While the rest of her look was kept simple, this dress leaves me speechless. Amanda looks natural and stunning.
2) Kate Hudson in Alexander McQueen - Kate was the poster girl for the waif-like look that dominated last night's awards. While her hair looks like she rolled out of bed, her figure is unbeatable in this McQueen number and I am loving the gold accents.
3) Jessica Alba in Oscar de la Renta - A fantastic colour choice for Jessica accompanied by beautiful jewelry.
4) Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad - Always flaunting extravagant numbers, JLo looked phenomenal, working the sheer look better than any other.
5) Hayden Panettiere in Roberto Cavalli - Hayden looked well put together in this perfect gown while her pink clutch added a pop of colour.
Five and Six were extremely close for me. The tie breaker was Hayden's healthy glow and Amy's terrible choice for hair.
6) Amy Adams in Marchesa - Though Amy hasn't received much recognition, her Marchesa gown is absolutely lovely.
7) Eva Longoria in Emilio Pucci - While Eva's legs seem a bit petite to be pulling off this look, it's impossible to deny how amazing this dress really is. More points had she kept her leg in.
8) Ariel Winter in Valentino - Yes, this dress is far more cute than elegant, but it is age appropriate. I absolutely love everything about the latest from Valentino and this piece is no exception.
9) Lucy Liu in Carolina Herrera - I love this gown. It is so pretty and so different from what anyone else was wearing. Points to Lucy for taking a risk… It absolutely paid off.
10) Kerry Washington in Miu Miu - Kerry looked absolutely amazing. This dress was a fantastic choice for her. Why has she barely made the cut? It's the odd effect of her dress's bottom half. While I am a huge fan of the sheer look, I don't love the way this piece makes it look as if she is revealing her slip. Had the opaque underlay run the full length of the gown, Kerry's look absolutely would have made my top three.
Honourable Mention goes to Helen Hunt in a fantastic Dolce & Gabbana piece.

Here in the States I have learned to eat a lot of foods that are not very common in Mexico. One of them is my beloved pumpkin. If you have visited this blog in the past month or so you have noticed that pumpkin is an ingredient that I use over and over again for all kinds of recipes. But that is not the only one. I have just discovered sweet potatoes (I didn't even know there were "sweet" potatoes before). Yes, I had eaten them before at Jon's mom's Thanksgiving dinners, but I had never actually cooked one myself.
I bought some last time I was at the store and yesterday I decided to use them for a soup. It turned out very good and this winter I will be experimenting other recipes with them. This is a similar recipe to my spicy pumpkin soup with some changes. Here's the recipe:
Spicy sweet potato pumpkin soup
Makes 4-6 servingsFor this recipe you will need:
- 1 chicken breast or 6-8 cups chicken broth
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 small carrot, peeled and cut in medium pieces
- 1 small onion, cut in medium pieces
- 2 garlic cloves
- fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
- 1 chipotle adobado pepper
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- baked or fried tortilla strips for garnish
- In a large pot boil chicken breast in 6-8 cups of water, add salt and onion. When the chicken is almost cooked, 15-20 minutes, add vegetables to the pot. Or if you are using chicken broth boil vegetables in it until tender, approximately 20 minutes. Remove chicken breast from the pot and save for something else.
- Blend vegetables in batches and return to the pot. In one of the batches blend chipotle pepper and cream cheese. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7 minutes.
- Serve and garnish with tortilla strips.
Inspiration for this recipe:
There you have it. A delicious soup perfect for the frigid temperatures we are having here in Ohio.
¡Buen provecho!

Stunning picture!
Interesting that you use cream cheese, I'll have to try that. The flavorings sound great!
I love sweet potatoes but have never made them into soup before. I like the cream cheese here and I like that it's spicy!
I love that this is spicy and I'll bet it was delicious. I just discovered sweet potatoes a couple of years ago and love them roasted w/ a bit of olive oil and salt and then mashed. I always thought they came with marshmallows on them, so I never like them. Now to try this soup. Yum!
Ben, this soup sounds amazing. I love sweet potatoes. Never thought to use them in a soup. Thanks for the great recipe.
Sweet potatoes are the best! They actually are low in GI and are preffered by people who are being "good". Glad you're experimenting. They're great with lentils in a soup and with turmeric, chilli and cumin (dollop of yogurt and a squeeze of lime on top)…or just roast them!
This looks fabulous and I even have a cheat – I have two cans of organic sweet potato puree in my cabinet. Hmmm… sounds like a perfect dinner for tomorrow!
I especially like the cream cheese and chipotle ingredients. Oh, and the garnish too.
Good job, daddy-o!
WOW, simply gorgeous! Is that chives on the top? That green adds so much to the photo.
I don't often get to try sweet potatoes other than in the typical fashion they're cooked (baked or mashed, loaded with butter and other things, etc), so this is a really fascinating recipe to come across. The very sight of it makes my mouth water. Lovely job!

I love that it's 100% matte finish. I don't like eyeliners that have glitter or shine, even if it's just a teenie little bit.
I use the Mac 212 Flat Definer brush to tightline as well as apply this as eyeliner (by gently stamping with the brush). I love that the Aqua Black isn't messy after so many "presses" -the product stays new also because the pot is airtight. However the brush cannot be reused again until washed... so my lazyass sometimes skips the eyeliner because my brush is not washed.
It's not 100% smudgeproof but my eyes tend to smudge everything anyways. I've come to live with mascara and liner appear on bottom of my eyes by hour 5, then it goes chaos from there (because the subsequent smudge happens in 1 hour, then I'd clean it, the next smudge happens again 1 hour later..). With Aqua Black, it didn't smudge until hour 8, which is awesome! After cleaning the smudged eyebottom, this liner didn't smudge anymore until 2.5 hours later. Compared to other products I've used, this is amazing lol.
The pot comes with a plastic cap that seals it airtight and saving it from drying out. This is tooootally awesome, worth the money for an amazing package!
I loooooove it! My favourite liner right now.

On my quest to locate a truly waterproof & smudge proof gel or cream liner, I purchased this. It applied evenly enough, but it isn't smudge proof. Like I experienced with MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack, by the afternoon I had smudges around and under my eyes from laughing hard with my eyes tightly closed.
I tried it with and without a primer and with and without setting powder - nothing improved the long-wearing/smudgeproof aspect of this liner, so back to Sephora it went.
I have been in the make up industry for three years, I'm mainly doing media work, I had use aqua black for fake tattoo on pole dance performancer's arm and the back and chest on concert dancers, this thing is truly waterproof, other popularly ones like mac, actually doesn't admit their liner as waterproof on the box or on the product itself, why would someone still trust they are waterproof?! If you want a good long lasting gel liner, go get this one, it has double grams amount compare to other high end brands

This is review of this product on my lower waterline only, not upper lid...
While killing time at the mall, I went into Sephora, completely open to any suggestions they would have for a new waterproof gel liner for my waterline. My eyes tend to water when my allergies act up, and I use eyedrops throughout the day. I previously tried Tarte's gel pencil as I liked the idea of the ease and speed of application but since it's water-based (i think?) it stayed for all of 5 seconds before bleeding into my eye. I told them about this and their suggestion was this. Didn't even bother to notice that it's marketed as shadow, just trusted their recommendation.
My eyeballs hated me for this decision for the next few months till I had time to go and buy a new liner. Little clumpy upon application but I could deal with it. The problem was that throughout the day, tiny little specks would detach and migrate into my eye causing a foreign body sensation all day unless I had time to search and remove it (you could also see these missing spots on the lid if you looked close enough). Tried layering it over a waterproof pencil, didn't help...setting it w/powder, didn't help. In all fairness though, it didn't smudge, but any waterproof liner other than pencils don't smudge for me so....
I love this stuff! Its the best I've ever tried. Most others iritate my eyes. But not this one. Its perfection. Its super black. It LASTS! Easy to use. Packaged in plastic which I prefer over glass packaging. Lasts longer in the plastic packaging. Kudos to MUFE for an awesome product.

This eyeliner is amazing. It doesn't smear, and it lasts forever. I love it. I got some from a discount beauty wholesale site, and the product was "dryer" than normal, but it works great with a flat eyeliner brush. I don't use it as a shade, I imagine the dr ying would greatly affect the ability to smooth it out, but as a liner, doesn't matter. This stuff lasts.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this in Sephora for 25, not cheap. I love the packaging and the inner lid helps to keep it from drying out. The pigmentation is great. I use it as an eyeliner and it really is jet black. However I have noticed that it does transfer on to the top of my eye as the day progresses. For example, I applied this product at 9 am yesterday and by 6 pm it had transferred. I should mention that I do have quite oily lids and watery eyes which makes it difficult for any liner to say put. However my Benefit liquid liner never moves and I really wasn't expecting this one to do that. This is the only issue I have had with it so far. Other than that I love this product. However if this continues I will have to go back to Benefit.
PRICE: $22 for a large plastic pot seems like a good deal considering a tiny Maybelline gel liner is already $10
REVIEW: it claims to be waterproof and on that end, yes it did not come off with just water in the shower. Is it smudge proof? Not in my case. I used it several times to tight line my top lashes when I had no eyeliner, mascara, or shadow under my eyes. In less than an hour, the product from my tight lining will have smudged to my bottom lids...
Smudging of tight lining may not be a concern of those who do top and bottom but since I only do the top, I will not be using this product again as a tight liner.
Conclusion: It holds really well after a evening of clubbing and sweating when used for large smokey eyes or extreme eyelinering (top and bottom), SO I would recommend it to those who need a black base.
This one of my favorite gel liner. I love that it is waterproof and it really does stay all day. I also find that it is not hard at all to remove given that you use eye makeup remover.
This is a true black liner. I'm an NC 44 and this shows super black on my skin. I also love the fact that I don't have to pack on the product to get the color I want. The price is not too bad and it's pretty comparable to other gel liners. This will probably last me for a while.

(AP) — Lost in all the hoopla of Cam Newton's NFL debut at Arizona was the performance of the other quarterback on that field.
Kevin Kolb's debut for the Cardinals was somewhere between solid and superb, and he expects better things to come as he heads for familiar ground this weekend against the Washington Redskins.
In Arizona's 28-21 victory over Newton's Carolina Panthers last Sunday, Kolb completed 18 of 27 passes (67 percent) for 309 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions. His quarterback rating of 130.0 was third among last week's season-opening performances, behind only Ryan Fitzpatrick of Buffalo (133.0) and Aaron Rodgers of Green Bay (132.1).
Kolb has thrown for over 300 yards in half of his eight NFL starts, the first seven with the Philadelphia Eagles. Next up for Kolb and the Cardinals is a trip to Washington to face the Redskins, a team he should know well from his time in the NFC East.
Kolb played a significant amount against the Redskins last season when Eagles starter Michael Vick was injured early in the fourth game. He completed 22 of 35 for 201 yards and a touchdown with one interception in that game.
So he said he is "a little bit" familiar with Washington's personnel.
"Their front seven is legit. They are as good as anybody, and you throw in the different schemes that (defensive coordinator Jim) Haslett likes to have," Kolb said after Wednesday's practice. "He's an aggressive guy. He does some pretty unique things. It's something different than anyone else does, so you have to make sure that you know what your conversions and route schemes are toward those things."
Kolb twice took advantage of Carolina's blitzes for long touchdown pass plays of 48 yards to tight end Jeff King and 70 yards to wide receiver Early Doucet. With the Panthers' defense smothering Larry Fitzgerald, Kolb completed passes to eight receivers.
"I think it's just our offense. We all know Larry draws a pretty big distraction out there," he said. "It's important for me to make sure I can get it into the right guy's hands, and we have a lot of guys who can do something with it after the catch just like we showed here just last Sunday."
Coach Ken Whisenhunt said he was pleased with Kolb's debut but did have some criticism.
"There are some things we have to clean up. There are some things he missed," Whisenhunt said. "There were some checks he missed, there was a slight adjustment he missed, but he compensated a couple of times being able to move and get out of the pocket."
Then again, the coach thought his new quarterback took off too soon at times.
"There were a couple of times he should have stayed in the pocket and made the throw," Whisenhunt said. "Once again, that's getting a feel for his teammates and those live situations."
Kolb said that the more he reviews tape of that first game, the more he realizes how much talent he has around him.
"When we needed a play, we made it," he said. "It wasn't like we had to dial up a play. That's kind of an important thing on offense, that you don't have to dial up a special gadget play in order to make one.
"We can make plays when it's just a routine deal. We have athletes across the board and that's encouraging. If we can continue to do that and just fix the easy things, then we can take it to the next level."

Geno Smith is considered the top quarterback prospect in the 2013 NFL Draft. However, early reviews of the young QB have been less than stellar.
Today, ESPN's Merril Hoge watched Smith throw and had less than flattering words. According to a tweet from Evan Silva, Hoge said that in recent memory he had "never seen a more inconsistent thrower than Geno Smith." One bad review isn't likely to spoil Smith's ranking but it could, perhaps, be a bad sign of things to come.

Well, as a gay blogger, I can't say that I'm surprised. It turns out that a new study from Harris Interactive shows that LGBT people are way more active on social media and blogs than their straight counterparts. Does that mean its a good time to be an LGBT blogger?
Here's the stats:
Wow, so not only do we own Hollywood, but us LGBT folk also have bragging rights to the Internet, too!
Kidding, of course. But I do think it's telling that LGBT activists, consumers, respondents, or whatever you want to call your average every day Internet user, potentially use social media more than straight people. It's certainly not because LGBT people are inherently more tech savvy (you should see me try to set up a wireless network! I'd find commanding a rocket ship less daunting...). But it could be that, given the stigma that LGBT people face in the "real" world, many have been able to carve out safe, accepting, healthy communities online that foster growth.
And if that's true, that would certainly be one reasonable explanation for the higher prevalence of LGBT people in the world of social media.

Volunteers aren't just extra hands. They are fresh faces, people to talk with and new friends.
We have many great volunteer opportunities at Valley Village. You can help people with developmental disabilities by volunteering as field trip assistants, to work on a project, for an event, or in the office with administrative items.
Field Trip Assistants
This is a special opportunity to work directly with the men and women we serve through our day and residential programs. Field Trip Assistants will help push a wheelchair or just be a friend to talk to. The trips take place on Saturdays between 9am-3pm (trip hours will vary depending on the weather and location). Valley Village is looking for volunteers who can donate a few hours on Saturdays to join our clients on field trips to events, the beach, museums, malls, parks, and more. You do not need to go every Saturday, however some consistency is needed. These direct-service volunteer opportunities do require certain background and health checks, which we pay for. You're getting fingerprinted for a great cause!
Events, Groups, Office Work
Occasionally, Valley Village has volunteer opportunities that are great for groups, and all ages. Several times per year, we host large events where we need lots of extra support. And, around the office, the hours are flexible. There's a volunteer match for everybody!
Please contact our Volunteer Coordinator by email or phone, (818) 587-9450, if you'd like to volunteer! To get a head start, you can download our volunteer application here.

Most desirable living environment
This map shows the counties of the United States where the natural environment is most desirable to live in.
The scale was constructed by combining six measures of climate, topography, and water area that reflect environmental qualities most people prefer. These measures are warm winter, winter sun, temperate summer, low summer humidity, topographic variation, and water area. The data are available for counties in the lower 48 States.
This map does not take into account human factors such as education, health, crime, economic development or poverty. Also not taken into account are specific landforms and attractions
Thanks to David McGranahan of the USDA for compiling the data.
Other maps I made:
How much snow does it usually take to cancel schools?
US Economic Activity in Four Quarters

Then I threw in a can of Ortega, green Chilis (the little can) into the soup mix too.<br/..."

I hope I learned some compassion.
Nathaniel Baker, son of Cyrus and Sybrina, elder brother of Levinia.
Cyrus, the teacher in Virgins Births small school, taught Nathaniel his letters well and early and instilled a love for books in the boy few among the faithful possess.
From aiding his mother, Virgins Births midwife, Nathaniel picked up the basics of healing craft.
In his teens, Cyrus began to groom Nathaniel to follow him up as the town's teacher, while Levinia, two years Nathaniels younger, was tutored to first help and later replace their mother
and if Micajah had never come to Virgin's Birth, both of them would have followed that path.
Or not, Nathaniel would say, now that his training in the Temple is coming to an end. If Micajah hadn't come, the corruption would have spread and, in the end, damned the entire town.
But the former dog had moved into the town and had smelled the beginning corruption and in time so only the gravedigger and widow Hallington fell to his rifle.
Though the demon was exorcised in time to save Virgins Birth, it had already been too late to saved Levinia; the girl, just shy of twelve summers at that time, had already been touched by the demon and was only a few steps from becoming the sacrifice widow Hallington needed.
The town was safe, but Levinia damaged; her mind bore the demons scars as much as her twisted face.
The exorcism hurt Micajah cruelly; In Three Is Strength, the dogs say but the former dog had been alone when confronting the demon. The former dogs wounds went beyond the flesh and beyond the skill of any healer in Virgins Birth.
Many offered to help Micajah and travel with him to the Temple but the dog refused all of them and instead picked Nathaniel.
Though well-read and clever, Nathaniel had little experience in more practical aspects of life; before being brought to the Temple, he had never shot a gun in his life, nor dressed a rabbit or ridden more than a couple of hours. What others learned from an early age, Nathaniel had to learn late under the stern eyes of the stewards. Though he learned those tasks slowly, he excelled in the less tangible skills; shown once, he reproduced any ceremony faultlessly and with elegance.
Six years it took to make a dog from the boy once groomed to become Virgins Births next teacher.
Yesterday, Nathaniels coat was brought; long and from fine, tightly woven cotton, dark-grey in color and with smooth, wooden buttons carved with tree designs. Many small, light grey and black triangles form a spiral pattern on the back, surrounded by a fine double line of dark green, while the nearly white button with their tree designs are the only adornment on the front.
The stewards are confident that Nathaniel is going to be a good addition to the dogs; hes likeable enough to watch, though his outstanding feature is his smooth, calm voice a voice, people like to listen to. Even when commanding or shouting, his voice does not crack or roughen. Though hes comparatively old, that might very well be to his advantage; the fire of youth has burned low and while not yet replaced by wisdom, nevertheless allows Nathaniel to think and not rush in head over heels. The intense ceremonial training has sharpened his will and made him hard to shake while his love for reading made him knowledgeable beyond most boys/men his years. His physical fitness has also improved through the intense training, though he wont be the strongest or fastest out there.
What he is somewhat lacking, though, is compassion; as the demon has marked Levinia, it has marked Nathaniel. Understanding, empathy and compassion flee his heart at the bare possibility of a demon. And woe, should he ever meet the demon that has marked his sister
His coat, horse and the jar weren't the only things Nathaniel was gifted with upon leaving the Temple; Micajah, retiring for good, gave his rifle to the young Dog he brought to the Temple about six years ago; what had served him well over his years would now become the tool of a new dog.

Hi Whisper,
Lots of nice juicy backstory. For the conflict, if we go by the examples in the DITV rules you'll be playing your current lack of compassion and I'll cover the forces and people trying to instill/elicit compassion from you, does that suit you?

LOS ANGELES (AP) - A small earthquake has shaken the west side of Los Angeles, but there are no reports of damage or injuries.
The magnitude-3 quake hit shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday and was centered a mile southeast of the Marina del Rey neighborhood.
Quakes this size are typically too small to cause damage.
Police dispatchers in Santa Monica, Inglewood and Culver City said they felt the quake, but have not received any calls from the public.

By Greg Glassner
Editor Emeritus
Roy A. Brown, the chief designer of the Edsel, recently died at the grand age of 96.
The Edsel, for those of you under the age of 60, was an automobile for which Ford Motor Company had high hopes in the late 1950s.
Riding the crest of the post-war economic boom during the Eisenhower administration, Henry Ford II decided his company needed a new brand to compete with GM's Cadillac. Despite reservations from others in the company, Ford decided to name it after his father, Edsel Ford, who had lived his adult life in the shadows of crusty old Henry Ford.
Brown, who had at one time worked for General Motors on the LaSalle, another example of an ill-timed auto brand, was charged with creating a car that looked distinct, while still utilizing existing Ford and Mercury underpinnings.
The Edsel was different in some respects.
It had an automatic transmission operated by push buttons in the center of the steering wheel and a strange vertical grille, a stylized version of the upright radiator grilles of the classic cars of the 1920s and 1930s.
In the meantime, the Edsel was repositioned to fill a perceived market gap between Ford and Mercury, which was elevated in status. It became the proverbial answer to a question nobody asked.
I might have paid scant attention to Brown's obituary, were it not for the fact that I had recently stumbled across a copy of "Edsel," by Loren D. Estleman while browsing through the Mechanicsville branch of the Pamunkey Regional Library. The novel is based on a fictional newspaper columnist-turned adman who is hired by Ford to promote the Edsel.
When I was in junior high I remember attending a high school homecoming game at which a local dealer provided all-new Edsels as chariots for the homecoming queen and her court. Several shiny new convertibles in pastel colors circulated slowly around the quarter-mile cinder track as the announcer did his best to stroke the car dealer by drawing similarities between the trendy new cars and the pretty girls riding in them.
The stunt was an attention getter and so was the Edsel, although Brown's styling, especially the retro-grille, drew attention of the wrong kind. Comics came out with Edsel jokes and wags compared the vertical grille to a fish's mouth, someone sucking on a lemon and, scandalously, a feature of the human female anatomy.
The offbeat name, production delays, an economic downturn, faulty diagnosis of what consumers wanted in an automobile and controversial styling all contributed to the Edsel's demise.
Ford pulled the plug on the Edsel in 1961.
When initial sales flopped, Ford executives were all too happy to blame it all on Brown's design. He was sent packing to the truck division and later to Ford of England, where he had a hand in designing the successful Cortina and Lotus-Cortina models.
Thus rehabilitated, he returned to Detroit and eventually retired as executive designer for Ford's Lincoln-Mercury division.
Though still a name that evokes snickers, Edsels are now popular among car collectors. Before his death, Brown attended many Edsel and Orphan Car Shows as a minor celebrity.
He claimed he never let the Edsel's failure get him down.
Editor Emeritus Greg Glassner continues to contribute Tomato Patch columns to the H-P. He also contributes stories to the Shenandoah Region, Porsche Club of America (http://www.shn.pca.org), and for the newsletter of the Virginia Jaguar Club (www.lyonstales.com).

2011 Prospect Watching: Bishop, Gourley, And Mort
Moving on to look at the middle infielders in the Pirates' minor league organization:
Jorge Bishop — R/R, 5′ 10″, 152 lb
Bishop is a Panamanian native who did very well at age 18 in the VSL, where he hit .308 with 9 homers and 41 RBI. He made his US debut in 2010. In the early part of the season he got 4 fill-in starts with A+ Bradenton, where he went 3-for-12, which was very nice for playing a few levels up. He spent the rest of the season with the GCL Pirates, where he hit .257 in 50 games. He had solid power, with 10 doubles, 4 triples, and 4 homers, and the potential is there for his power to improve. Bishop split his playing time between second base and shortstop and is thought to have good speed — 12 stolen bases. He'll turn 20 years old this week, and he should be ready to move up to State College for 2011.
Walker Gourley — R/R, 6′ 0″, 180 lb
Gourley was the Pirates' 13th round pick in the 2009 draft. He missed a lot of playing time due to an ankle injury in 2009, but was slated to move to State College for 20100. He also got in a few games as a fill-in at Bradenton in May of 2010, where he went 1-for-8 at the plate, before the State College season began. Gourley did not hit well at State College, though, and he did not show much power either. His best month was July, when he had a .204 average and 13 RBI. He finished with a .168 average, 8 doubles, 1 triple, 1 homer, and 23 RBI. Strikeouts are a big problem for Walker — 76 in 61 games (32.8%). Gourley's playing time was divided between second base (32 games), shortstop (21 games), and a little bit at third (9 games). There is some question about whether he has the range to be an effective middle infielder, or whether he might be better moved to third base. Gourley will turn 20 years old in June, so he still has time to figure it out, as long as he starts hitting soon and cuts back on the strikeouts.
Curve Split Two, Owens Wins #11, Cain Wins #1
Lots of action for the Pirates' minor league affiliates on Thursday….
Richmond Flying Squirrels� 9,� Altoona Curve� 6�� (Game 1)..� (box)
This was the wrap-up of a suspended game from… awhile back.� 2B Jordy Mercer had 3 hits in the game with an RBI, and LF Jim Negrych had a single, a double, and an RBI for the Curve.� The Curve scored first, with 3 runs in the bottom of hte 1st, on a double by 3B Shelby Ford, an RBI single by Mercer, walks to both C Kris Watts and LF Brandon Jones (back when he was still on the team), and a 2-RBI single by RF Miles Durham.
Richmond came back to tie the score with 3 runs in the top of the 2nd, on four singles and a throwing error by 1B Matt Hague. Then they took the lead with another 3 runs in the top of the 3rd, on a walk and three doubles.� Starter Tim Alderson was responsible for 6 runs (5 earned) on 7 hits and a walk over 3 innings.� Dustin Molleken took over for Alderson, and retired the side in the top of the 4th inning.� The Curve began the bottom of the inning with a walk to Durham, a single by CF Anthony Norman, and a sacrifice bunt by Molleken, to put both runners into scoring position.� That was when play was halted.� When the game resumed, SS Chase d'Arnaud singled, scoring Durham.� PH/3B Josh Harrison grounded to short, which let Norman score also.� Mercer singled again, but was left on base.� The Curve had closed the gap, 6-5
Derek Hankins took over for Molleken after the restart.� He pitched 5 innings, scattering two hits and a walk over the first four of those innings.� The Curve also put runners on base in the 5th, 6th, and 7th innings, but did not score.
In the top of the 9th, Hankins gave up a single and an RBI double, then three more singles, increasing Richmond's lead to 9-5.� The Curve got one of the runs back in the bottom of the 9th, when Hague walked, and moved to third on a fielding error that also put Watts on base.� Jim Negrych singled into left field, bringing in Hague from third.� Watts also tried to score, coming from second base, but he was out at the plate on the throw in from left field, ending the game.
Curve� 5,� Flying Squirrels� 1�� (Game 2)..� (box)
The Curve turned the tables in the second game, which was scheduled for only 7 innings.� Rudy Owens buzzed through 6 scoreless innings, allowing only 2 hits and one walk, while striking out 5 batters.� He surrendered a single in the 2nd and a double in the 4th, then a walk in the 6th.� It was Owens' 11th win of the season.� Daniel Moskos wrapped things up in the 7th inning.� He loaded the bases with two walks and a single.� A grounder force out brought in Richmond's only run, but then Moskos ended the game with a strikeout.
2B Jordy Mercer's bat was still hot, as he collected another 2 hits.� He and LF Jim Negrych both singled in the 4th, then C Hector Gimenez reached on a throwing error, which brought in Negrych with the first run of the game.� A walk to 3B Josh Harrison and singles by 1B Matt Hague and Mercer scored Harrison with another run in the 5th.� SS Chase d'Arnaud added three more runs with a 3-run homer in the 6th, also plating CF Anthony Norman, who had walked, and pinch-hitter Andrew Lambo, who had singled.
Owens Wins #10
Pirates' lower minor leaguers on Saturday…
Altoona Curve� 10,� Binghamton Mets� 4 (box)
The Curve posted 14 hits, with two big innings, as all but one member of the starting line-up had at least one hit in the game, as starter Rudy Owens earned his 10th win of the season.� SS Jordy Mercer doubled three times and 1B Matt Hague doubled twice, with 4 RBI.� Even Owens doubled, walked, and scored twice.
Owens got off to a little bit of a shaky start on the mound.� He gave up a double, a single, and a sacrifice fly to begin the bottom of the 1st.� A single and a double gave the Mets a second run in the 3rd.� Owens settled in after that, and allowed just one hit in each of the 4th and 5th.
The Curve got one run back in the top of the 4th, after putting runners on base in each of the first three innings but failing to score.� In the 4th,� Mercer hit his first double, and he scored on RF Miles Durham's RBI single.� Then they broke through in the 5th.� Owens led off the inning with a walk.� LF Jose De Los Santos singled, then 3B Josh Harrison bunted both runners into scoring position.� 2B Jim Negrych was intentionally walked to load the bases.� Hague cleared the bases with a double into left field, then Mercer hit his second double (this one was a ground-rule double), plating Hague.� The Curve had a 5-2 lead.
The next inning began with a solo home run by Miles Durham.� One out later, Owens doubled, and De Los Santos singled.� A fielding error on a ball hit to third by Harrison let Owens score.� Negrych brought in both Owens and De Los Santos with another double, and Hague made it three doubles in the inning with his 26th of the season, bringing in Negrych with the fifth run of the inning.� The Curve were up, 10-2.
Mike Colla relieved Owens to begin the 6th.� He gave up a solo homer in that inning, and another solo homer in the 8th, but retired the other 12 batters he faced in 4 innings.� Owens earned his 10th win of the season, and Colla earned his first save.
Two Homers By Harrison Aren't Enough; Maggi Debuts
Early and late action for the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates:
Portland Sea Dogs� 9,� Altoona Curve� 8 (box)
Two home runs by 3B Josh Harrison and an early lead from a 5-run 2nd inning were washed away by the Sea Dogs' 6-run 7th inning this afternoon.� Harrison, the second batter of the game, put the Curve onto the scoreboard minutes after the game began with his solo home run over the left field wall.� He added the second home run (his 3rd of the season) in the next inning.� That rally began with back-to-back walks by RF Miles Durham and C Kris Watts. CF Anthony Norman was hit by a pitch to load the bases for LF Jose De Los Santos. A line drive single by De Los Santos brought in Durham, then a wild pitch let Watts score.� 2B Chase d'Arnaud lifted a sacrifice fly, which plated Norman.� That left De Los Santos on base for Harrison, who blasted his second home run, also over the left field wall, for a 2-run homer, giving the Curve a 6-0 lead.
Bryan Morris began his afternoon's work by allowing only a walk and a single over the first three innings.� In the 4th, he gave up a single just over the head of SS Jordy Mercer and into left field, then a home run on a rising line drive, cutting the Curve's lead to 6-2.� Those were the only runs Morris allowed, on 3 hits and a walk, with 4 strikeouts in 5 innings.
Morris was relieved by Tom Boleska to begin the 6th.� Boleska gave up a solo homer, to 1B Anthony Rizzo, inching the Sea Dogs closer, 6-3.� But the real trouble came in the 7th, when Boleska could not retire any of the 4 batters he faced.� The first blasted a solo home run, then the next three all singled.� Derek Hankins replaced Boleska with the bases loaded and no outs.� He got one out on the infield fly rule, then got former Curve Ray Chang to strike out.� That brought Rizzo to the plate again — and he smashed a grand slam over the center field wall, and Portland had a 7-6 lead.� The grand slam was immediately followed by another solo home run, the third homer of the inning, for an 8-6 lead.� Five of those runs were charged to Boleska, and the other two to Hankins.
The Curve put one runner on base in each of the 4th through 7th innings, but could not get any of them around to score.� They rallied again in the 8th, starting with a single by 1B Matt� Hague and a double by Jordy Mercer, moving Hague to third base.� Miles Durham's sacrifice fly brought in Hague, and Kris Watts' double scored Mercer.� Norman was hit by a pitch and De Los Santos singled to deep short to load the bases.� But a grounder force out ended the inning with the Curve still one run short.� They went down in order in the 9th, and the Sea Dogs had the come-from-behind win.� Morris did not figure into the decision, but Boleska took the loss.
Solid Starts From Locke, Adcock, Miller, and Cain
Minor League action with the Pirates' affiliates on Thursday… lots of good pitching
Altoona Curve� 5,� Trenton Thunder� 3 (box)
The Curve came from behind to take this game from Trenton, despite being out-hit 8-7.� Starter Jeff Locke had trouble in the 1st inning, when 3 runs scored on a double, three singles, a wild pitch, and a throwing error by C Hector Gimenez on a stolen base play.� After that inning, Locke settled in, scattering four hits over the next 5 innings, while striking out 6 batters.
The Curve batters had only 2 hits over the first 3 innings, but they got going in the 4th to put one run on the board.� LF Andrew Lambo walked, and 1B Matt Hague singled.� A ground out to second by Gimenez moved both runners into scoring position, and 2B Jim Negrych picked up an RBI when his groundout scored Lambo.� DH Yung Chi Chen got the 5th inning off to a good start with a triple into left field.� He scored on CF Anthony Norman's sacrifice fly.� A fielding error in left field put Norman on first base, but he was caught stealing moments later.� SS Chase d'Arnaud kept the rally going with a walk, and he was successful in stealing second.� 3B Josh Harrison was hit by a pitch, and a wild pitch moved d'Arnaud to third and Harrison to second.� Lambo's grounder to second brought in d'Arnaud from third, and the score was tied at 3-3.
Jared Hughes took over for Locke for the final three innings.� He held the Thunder to just a walk in the 7th, retiring the other 9 batters he faced, with the help of some outstanding outfield work, particularly by Norman, and an infield gem by Negrych.� The Curve threatened in the 6th, when RF Miles Durham singled and Chen walked with 2 outs, but both were left on base.� Harrison began the 7th inning with a walk, and with two outs, he stole second base.� That put him into scoring position, so that when Hague took a 3-0 pitch into left field for a double, Harrison was able to score the go-ahead run.� Gimenez was intentionally walked to get to Negrych, who obligingly grounded to second base for what should have been the final out of the inning.� But the Trenton second baseman made a fielding error — Negrych was safe at first, and Hague scored an insurance run.

The Sneak Thief
Senior Member
Overall in my opinion his lategame should be buffed but thats just me. Anyways I am having a real difficulty as lategame lee, I build him correctly and stuff its just how I play. I have trouble actually doing my role and killing the enemy carries most of the time. How do you make him theoretically strong lategame what do you do to counter his fall off?
Btw I Am Afk
Junior Member
In my opinion the way to counter his fall off is just to get sooooo far ahead that they can't get into late game. That's what I do. Are toy playing him jungle or to Lane?
He is really strong early/mid game. His balance is a weaker late game. Take advantage of your strength and snowball yourself.
He is either a straight glass cannon or a support/tank late game. If you're a mid Lee, then glass cannon. If you're a jungler, then you're probably going to build Runic Bulwark at some point. If you're top transition depending on how well you snowballed or depending on your team's need. His damage is fine with Black Cleaver+Bloodthirster+Last Whisper, but he will go squish pretty fast.
Imo Lee only needs 2 items to do great damge early-mid game. Any combo of Brut>BC and Wriggles Mallet Hexdrinker or BT. I would then seriously consider getting resistances. If you don't get fed Lee still makes for a great peeler/anti engage/chaser.

Since the publishing of the BoW official errata, we're playing with the new retreat rules.
Now we've a couple of questions:
1) stated that you must retreat in the primary retreat direction what happens when the retreating unit is at the edge of the board?The core rulebook says, on page 22, that a unit cannot retreat off the board but the new rules changes a lot the retreat principles.
2) when the retreating unit is on the edge of the board and has Morale (flags) results to take what happens? Like with impassable terrein, every Morale results that can't trasform in a retreat movement become an additional hit? If it's correct what happens when the attacking unit has PURSUE? The core rules on page 24 says that "In order to execute the additional attack, the unit must have moved at least one hex" so we think that it can't pursue the retreating but still unit... Correct?

Fans of XCOM (and soon-to-be-fans who pre-ordered BioShock Infinite) will be glad to know that Firaxisis has big plans for the franchise. The studio and its publisher, 2K Games, announced at PAX East today that the strategy game would be heading to the App Store this summer. Additionally, a short video teased an upcoming expansion or sequel.
The iPhone and iPad version of the game will be a "full" port of the PC/console version, and other than graphics and other visual elements, will be more or less the exact same game.
As for future XCOM installments, a short teaser showed a shot of the Council, complete with the all too familiar message: "Hello Commander." The Council warned of a "new threat" before the signal went to static.
That could mean anything from DLC to a full-blown expansion or sequel, so until we hear more, we can only speculate on what Firaxis is cooking up.

I just harvested some ripe seeds from my Stylophorum diphyllum plants, a spring ephemeral that is tricky to germinate. For the moment I have mixed them with some barely moist seed starting mix and put them in the refrigerator. Should I hold them there until late fall before I plant them? I think I read somewhere that they require cold stratification. Should I instead plant them immediately and expect germination this summer? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You've got them now at the temperature where they germinate best, they could catch you off guard if you tend to forget seed pots in the back of the fridge like I do :) Clothiers: Stylophorum diphyllum, and lasiocarpum, Sow at Max. 5şC (41şF), germination irregular, often several months I sowed seed from s. lasiocarpum immediately, covered with a little grit and kept the pot outdoors. They germinated in early Fall, wintered over easily in this milder Z8 (not phased by temps of 22F in February) |

"Familial Estrangement" by Allen Weiss, MD, MBA, President & CEO
Familial Estrangement
September 1st, 2012 -Sadly, the incidence of
fractured families
seems to be more prevalent today than ever before. Too many family groups—children, adult children, siblings, parents, and grandparents—are not enjoying the natural bonds of love, support, or at least communication, which were so necessary in olden times but now appear more commonly to be broken.
Almost everyone has a friend, relative, or is personally involved in a relationship which is less than desirable or happy. Most of these embarrassing and painful interactions are not openly discussed due to the guilt and/or denial with which they are associated. Unfortunately, these feelings are more common than anyone may realize.
There are no readily available numbers about actual incidence or prevalence but support groups such as Alienated Grandparents Anonymous, Inc (
) which is a local group of mutually supportive citizens, has had a rapid growth and now holds bimonthly meetings at Saint John the Evangelist Church on 111th Avenue on every month's first and third Thursday afternoons and evenings, respectively. These extremely helpful meetings are coordinated by professionals and are very well attended; often, in season, there is standing room only.
The term
parental alienation
grandparent alienation
by over thirty-five years in the professional literate. Both alienations are recognized as painful separations causing dysfunctional behavior for all participants. Parental alienation typically describes the conduct of children and their parents who, through the process of an acrimonious divorce, engage in behavior which negatively compounds an already sad and difficult situation. With the incidence of divorce for first time marriages now estimated at over 40%, the numbers of families living with additional dysfunction continues to grow. One theory is that children who grew up in an environment where alienation was present, in turn practice the same behavior in their own families.
Grandparent alienation undermines the balance in a multi-generational family. Having mutually supportive generations, which grow by marriage and the subsequent addition of children, has been the pattern of successful multi-generational families, tribes, communities and larger societies since the beginning of time. Now, with the rapid growth of wealth, changing lifestyles, indulged habits, longer live spans, self-centeredness and general deterioration of social and societal order, we have a higher incidence of alienation among generations. This adds another very challenging dysfunction, which probably has a tendency toward self-perpetuation.
Being realistic in relationships over long periods of time, staying flexible and sharing empathetic wishes are all good ways of fostering long term positive relationships. Probably most important is picking the right mate to start with, one who has compatible values and shared experiences. Identifying common goals, having reasonable expectations, setting boundaries, examining one's own reactions, appreciating both your strengths and weaknesses along with those of your other family members, knowing that we are not all the same and that is good—variety is the spice of life—being able to agree to disagree without undo rancor, while keeping balanced are all good ways to avoid the pain of estrangement.
Even when all the attitudes are in line and everyone has done all they can do to keep multi-generational families together problems can arise. Don't give up. Seek others to share feelings and thoughts, be patient, and have reasonable goals with flexible timelines. Reach out for help; we have good support in southwest Florida. Life is a team sport—and we are all members of one team or another.

MATTHEWS, N.C.–Helped by a healthy sales increase, Family Dollar posted an 8.1 percent pickup in net income in its fiscal first quarter, to $80.4 million.
Net sales rose 7.6 percent to $2.1 billion, which included an increase of 4.1 percent in same-store sales. The top line benefited from higher shopper transaction value and increased store traffic as measured by the number of register transactions, Family Dollar said in a statement. In terms of product categories, the quarter, which ended on Nov. 26, was led by an 11.4 percent jump in sales of consumables.
That rise in consumables, a low-margin product category, did dampen Family Dollar's gross margin, which fell 77 basis points to 35.3 percent. Selling, general and administrative expenses, while increasing 4.1 percent in dollars, declined 96 basis points as a percentage of sales to 29 percent.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, Howard Levine, Family Dollar's chairman and CEO, said December brought a further 4 percent gain in same-store sales and that this momentum should continue through the end of February. For the fiscal year as a whole, Family Dollar has projected a net-sales increase of from 8 to 10 percent, with same-store sales rising from 4 to 6 percent.

Looking trade also. I hope you don't mind, burtout777. I butt loads of dessert king and genoa fig cuttings. I would like to trade with someone who had Florea or Danny's delite, or El Sals, paridiso?? Or whatever you have to trade. Genoa is like an heirloom variety, classic cultivar. Cold hardy, produces a little bigger than golf all size. Pulp is strawberry color, when it is ripe turn yellowish/ green and sweet. Delicious! Desert king is reliable. Produce pretty heaving even on old wood.. Greenish fig, pulp is strawberry flesh, and also yummy. I live in Idaho.. It is dry and not very humid... Some cuttings already has roots. I will be generous with trading ... ( for both cultivars) . Anyone who is interested: firstname.lastname@example.com |
