Are Games Getting Easier?
Re:Demon's Souls (854 comments)
I concur! The hardest and best game out there at the moment. Atmostpheric, unbelievable replay value, requires tactics and planning and has an awesome online component. Some of the coolest bosses ever encountered in any video game. If you're bored with the current generation, get this game! I've clocked at least 100 hours and am still finding new ways of playing it.
Don't forget though;this is not an easy or forgiving game. One mistake and you're dead*. It only adds to the fun that dying makes your enemies stronger. Demon's souls fucking hates you.
Also, a sequel is already in the works, codename Project Dark.
* Especially when facing Flamelurker, The False King, Maneater, the group of crossbowmen and blue eyed knights at the end of 1-2 or, of course, the giant Depraved Ones. Or, for that matter, Penetrator, dual katana black skeletons, invading black phantoms, the reapers and BP Satsuki.

Upon their arrival, visitors to Crescent Moon Wine Bar and Restaurant will be faced with a difficult decision?they'll have to decide on a wine. The extensive list spans more than 300 selections available by the glass or bottle. Then they'll have to select something to nibble on, perhaps the beef short ribs slow cooked in a Shiner Bock gravy or the filet-and-shrimp surf 'n' turf accompanied garlic truffled mashed potatoes.
And the whole time, they'll be distracted by their impressive surroundings, including stone-arches soaring high above them, stone walls, and a stage where live bands play nearly every day of the week. In front of this stage is an open space, and they'll have to decide if they want to dance here alongside the couples or organize a game of Freeze Tag.
Since opening in 2003, The Tasting Room has morphed from a wine bar to a full-service restaurant with four locations—all while retaining its wine-bar charm and racking up numerous awards and accolades. Diners can select libations from a list that boasts more than 200 wines, pairing them with contemporary dishes whipped up by executive chef Jonathan LeBlanc. TTR offerings run the gamut from small plates of mini grilled sandwiches and classic bruschetta to entrees including creole-spiced quail and Jamaican jerk chicken breast, which diners can savor at windowside tables or on the plant-ensconced patio and garden area.
The eatery doesn't just sate hunger for eclectic classics and thirst for fermented grapes. It also hosts live music, meetings, and events such as 2011's Grapes vs. Grains, which pitted beer against wine in a liquid wrestling match. The owners have their hands in other culinary enterprises, too. There's the Houston Cellar Classic, for example, an annual celebration of food and wine. Also popular is MAX's Wine Dive, a destination for gourmet comfort food best defined by its slogan—"Fried chicken and champagne? ... Why the hell not?"
Surrounded by Winetopia's brick-laden walls, visitors sample a succinct selection of tapas, absorb the notes of live music and karaoke, and explore the flavors of rare wines gathered from around the world. In the dining room, the arched tops of built-in wine cabinets fit snugly into exposed-brick walls, and the chatter of guests clustered around intimate tables syncs with the clinks of wineglasses alighting on a granite-top bar. A menu of small plates romances appetites with everything from light snacks, such as marcona almonds and indian popcorn, to more substantial morsels, including veggie samosas. Plates strewn with various cheeses find companionship in chatty napkins and the sweet notes of fresh fruit or the deep flavor of assorted cold cuts. The rotating selection of more than 200 small-production wines overrides the need for a formal list, so instead sommeliers pilot patrons through vinos imported from New Zealand, South Africa, Oregon, and Argentina. The less traveled can charter entire flights of wine or sign up for a tasting class, or eschew grapey spirits altogether for one of the bar's 59 domestic or imported beers.
Pinot's Palette combines wine and art to create an enjoyable night out with friends or a date. The painting sessions encourage adults' inner artists whether they have any painting experience or not, encouraging light-hearted conversation, fun, and good cheer while painting and sipping BYOB beverages. Each session's painting of the night may feature anything from landscapes and wine-inspired art to known classics such as Van Gogh's Starry Night, and each painter tackles from their own artistic angle under the guidance of an experienced instructor. At the end of the night, painters can take their painting home with them and ring a "Gong of Awesomeness" on their way out to signify a good time.
Cellar 17 is a boutique wine bar and retail shop. Wines range in price from $10 - $500, specializing in small production wineries from all over the world.
We have fabulous Wine Tasting Events and a much touted Wine Club. Enjoy wines by the glass or bottle and pair it with one of our many delicious appetizers.
With its fantasy-furnishing fusion of bohemian and baroque decor, Absolve Wine Lounge cossets diners within an elegant dining environment. Sink into a plush velvet armchair and rest your feet on a thick oriental rug while the rustic glow of ornate candelabras to survey the extensive menu with magic-carpet levels of ease. Diners can immerse tongues in the Absolve cheese experience with three cheese choices from a lineup including cambozola, manchego, raspberry bellavitano, roquefort, and more ($16). Prove the old adage that misery loves company almost as much as hunger loves meatballs with the Italian Stallion panini, stuffed with spiced meat spheres and mushrooms ($8), or simplify eats with a bacon pita burger, with beef, bacon, and cheddar jack sandwiched between two slices of crisp pita spread with homemade honey dijon ($8). End an evening on a syrupy note with a sumptuous slice of New York–style cheesecake ($6).

The Mark Crilley Realism Challenge is a must-see for any artist and art appreciator out there. This Michigan-based artist demonstrates talent like no other.
Mark has a YouTube channel where he posts videos of himself doing a series of realism challenges that consist of him recreating drawings from real life objects. The above video is the third installment that Mark has taking on where he draws a torn playing card of a King of Clubs.
The video is filmed in real time and the impressive part is that it does not take Mark very long to recreate the play card by free hand. At the conclusion of the video it is almost impossible to tell which card is the real one.

Gouda is now produced in many other countries around the world, generally by the same methods, although in some countries government regulations prohibit the use of raw milk. Look for Gouda from Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and Brazil, as well as Sweden, Norway, and other European countries.
This cheese is imported in thick, round-edged wheels that measure about 10 inches (25.4cm) across and weigh from 8 to 22 pounds (3.6 to 10 kg).
With its intense flavor, this cheese is appropriate for shredding and grating. It is aged for 18 months and coated in black wax, which offers a sharp visual contrast to the orange cheese. Specialty Goudas may have cracked pepper, garlic, and onions, caraway or cumin seed, or nettles and other fresh herbs mixed into the curd. Aged Gouda that has been cured for two years is a rarer product, and one prized by cheese experts.
These are rare Dutch farmhouse-type Gouda cheeses made from cows' milk in 18 to 28 pound (8 to 12.6 kg) wheels. Young Boerenkass is typically aged for about four months; the aged type is cured for as long as five or seven years.
This type, also made in Holland, resembles traditional Gouda in texture and physical appearance, but has a tangier flavor.
Mass-produced in Wisconsin and New York state, this cheese is very similar to the Dutch original. It is available in wheels weighing less than a pound (450g). Today, a number of skilled American artisans also produce unusual and highly prized Goudas.

Kid Crafts: Colorful Bank
Bank On It!, p.1
It's never too early to introduce your child to the math skills he'll need to manage his money in the future. When you help your little one craft a colorful bank for storing his change, he'll have a chance to develop his creative and counting abilities.
"Making a bank will help your child understand money and see the usefulness of arithmetic," says Lee V. Stiff, Ph.D., the president of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. "And parents' involvement reinforces to children how important math is in everyday life."
Once the bank is completed, you can play a variety of money games with your child. Dr. Stiff recommends placing a certain number of pennies in the bank each play session -- for example, four one day, eight the next. "Then ask him how he could keep those 12 cents in his bank in the fewest number of coins possible." When he arrives at the solution, trade him the 12 pennies he saved for a dime and two pennies. As he works on solving this type of problem, he will begin to understand the value of each coin and improve his ability to add and subtract.

text: Painter, born Florence, Italy, 1 March 1445; died there, 17 May 1510. His first master in art was Filippo Lippi whose influence is apparent in his earlier work, as in the so-called Chigi Madonna of the Gardner collection in Boston. From the Pollajuoli brothers he learned anatomy. Under the patronage of the Medici he produced many of his best-known paintings, among them "Spring" (Academy of Florence) and "The Birth of Venus" (Uffizi Gallery). Invited to Rome by Sixtus IV to assist in decorating the Sistine Chapel, he executed three frescos, "History of Moses," "The Temptation of Christ," and "The Destruction of Core, Dathan, and Abiron," besides five portraits of the popes. In 1483 he painted his masterpiece "The Magnificat," now in the Uffizi, the finest of the tondi, or circular pictures of the Madonna and Child, originated by him. In his late years he designed about 90 illustrations for the "Divina Commedia." The Academy of Florence has his "Madonna and Child with Angels and Saints," and a beautiful "Coronation of the Virgin." Other well-known paintings are "The Calumny of Apelles," "Pallas and the Centaur," "Saint Augustine," and "The Last Communion of Saint Jerome."New Catholic Dictionary

As part of the expected rush of holiday shoppers, and a change in philosophy on serving customers, Apple has quietly ended its free Personal Shopping service that provided appointment-based product demonstrations and selection assistance. All references to the service have been erased from the company's Web site, and the Personal Shopping link now re-directs surfers to the main Retail page (former page). Individual stores pages and the Apple Store app have also been updated. According to sources, the change became effective yesterday and stems from the belief that every customer should receive the same attention and amount of service. Previously, store visitors who wanted help in selecting and trying out Apple products could make an on-line appointment at any store up to 14 days in advance. Visitors would then arrive, check in, and then, "take all the time you need to test-drive the products you're interested in." The former Web page also noted that the service was, "All with no pressure—there's no obligation to buy." Now, those needing product demo and selection help will be assisted by the regular Red Zone staff. Update: The change is slightly more subtle: Apple store employees will still offer demo and purchase assistance as available, but as part of their normal customer assistance duties. However, the "Personal Shopping" name and reservation service have been eliminated.

This headline is a bit off. Yes they dropped the online sign up etc. but You can still go in and get the same service on the spot (or after a short wait if it is crowded) any time. And there's never a pressure to buy.
So really they aren't dropping the service. THey are just dropping the notion that you have to sign up before you come to the store.
- November 2, 2010 at 1856
Thanks for the clarification. I'm left wondering how store visitors will know such a service is available.
- November 3, 2010 at 1746
It seems that they are trying to focus more on personal service without an appointment. They now seem to be trying to use the Apple Store app to initiate and track the on the spot shopping sessions.
The problem with Personal Shopping from the beginning was that people didn't know it existed and/or didn't want to commit to anything(even though it was very expressly stated that there was no obligation). Most stores tried to sign people up for Personal Shopping appointments as they came in the store to boost their apparent "adoption" of the service, as appointments booked from home were minimal.
Their new approach ("Requesting assistance from a Specialist" from the Apple Store app) may be more successful, as it definitely makes the experience much less formal. The downside, obviously, is that it requires the customer to already own an Apple product(specifically an iPhone or iPod Touch).
On the face of it, though, this new strategy seems like it will be more widely adopted by customers, and is better designed to actually accomplish what it is intended for.
- November 2, 2010 at 2121
This is great because my store used to open at 8:00 AM, but changed months back to 10:00 AM unless you scheduled a personal shopping appointment. I was frustrated on the phone one morning because I couldn't get in without an appointment — he offered to schedule me an appointment but I declined because that would seem awkward with so little people there.

Paul Woods ranks in my top five, tho.

Breakfast at Tiffany's Love Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
Quote #1
"But oh gee, golly goddamn," she said, jamming a fist into her mouth like a bawling baby, "I did love him. The rat" (17.13).
Love can also mean pain. Holly finally let her guard down, finally let herself fall in love with someone. But when José leaves her, the loss of his love thrusts her right back into her old life and her former ways.

Seems Donnie Rumsfeld hates America:
Strong Words.
Rumsfeld Lashes Out at Bush's Critics
By ROBERT BURNS
The Associated Press
Tuesday, August 29, 2006; 2:19 PM
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah -- Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said Tuesday the world faces "a new type of fascism" and likened critics of the Bush administration's war strategy to those who tried to appease the Nazis in the 1930s.
In unusually explicit terms, Rumsfeld portrayed the administration's critics as suffering from "moral or intellectual confusion" about what threatens the nation's security. His remarks amounted to one of his most pointed defenses of President Bush' war policies and was among his toughest attacks on Bush's critics.
Speaking to several thousand veterans at the American Legion's national convention, Rumsfeld recited what he called the lessons of history, including the failure to confront Hitler. He quoted Winston Churchill as observing that trying to accommodate Hitler was "a bit like feeding a crocodile, hoping it would eat you last."
"I recount this history because once again we face similar challenges in efforts to confront the rising threat of a new type of fascism," he said.
"Can we truly afford to believe that somehow, some way, vicious extremists can be appeased?" he asked.
"Can we truly afford to return to the destructive view that America _ not the enemy _ is the real source of the world's troubles?"
Rumsfeld spoke to the American Legion as part of a coordinated White House strategy, in advance of the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, to take the offensive against administration critics at a time of doubt about the future of Iraq and growing calls to withdraw U.S. troops.
Rumsfeld recalled a string of recent terrorist attacks, from 9/11 to deadly bombings in Bali, London and Madrid, and said it should be obvious to anyone that terrorists must be confronted, not appeased.
"But some seem not to have learned history's lessons," he said, adding that part of the problem is that the American news media have tended to emphasize the negative rather than the positive.
He said, for example, that more media attention was given to U.S. soldiers' abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib than to the fact that Sgt. 1st Class Paul Ray Smith received the Medal of Honor.
He did acknowledge that the U.S. military has its own "bad actors _ the ones who dominate the headlines today _ who don't live up to the standards of the oath and of our country." But he added that they are a small percentage of the hundreds of thousands of troops who have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Those who know the truth need to speak out against these kinds of myths and lies and distortions being told about our troops and about our country," he said.
I cannot recall any cabinet member impugning the moral character and courage of the American people quite this way, can you?
As my Dad used to say, "consider the source." While Scummy Rummy is biddy Hating America instead of biddy winning Bush's multiple wars, America has come to some clear conclusions about Rumsfeld, Bush, and the Republican track record:
o Two-thirds of Americans think Bush has failed in Iraq
o Two-thirds believe the Bush admin has NO PLAN for winning the war
o Less than 20% of those polled have confidence in Rumsfeld's competence
o Nearly 70% think America is "headed in the wrong direction."
The Bush crowd, dwindled down to a few hardcore neocons and spittle-droolers like Rumsfeld, recoil when Bush's policies are compared to Hitler's -- they HATE it; sadly, they sure like to use it when it serves their advantage. Do you think Americans are cowards? Do you think Rumsfeld should be admonished for his attacks on America?

I went to a craft show in a nearby town today. Love looking to see what everyone is selling. Saw several booths with painted items. Really good painters too! It is one of the juried shows, so only approved vendors get in. Saw cute turkeys, some tall and thin, some shorter and fatter--both had multi-colored tails and cute expressions. There were large pumpkins cut out of "ruffled" wood that looked like logs hooked together (hadn't seen anything like it before) and lots of Halloween, Fall, and garden signs. The larger items that were 30 to 36 inches were selling for $54.00. Most small items like the signs were $14.95. Also saw some of the painted screens like the ones Anjabee painted. Those were very cute--I was surprised that the screen was metal, for some reason I thought it would be plastic. Now my brain is fuzzy from trying to take it all in--really made me want to get some projects painted. Luvs |

I saw those painted screen windows and doors at a recent craft show also. The gal told me she had to paint one side, flip it over and paint the other side and then flip it again. Her's had snowmen and other snow scenes. Really very pretty. It's hard to imagine "ruffled" wood, can you draw a pic and post it. Sal |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sun, Oct 29, 06 at 10:05
Hi Sal, Afraid I'm not good at drawing and wouldn' t know how to post it if I could! These were like those posts that are only slightly rounded then each side is straight. I am sure there is a name for them but I don't know it. Well, there must be a form of fencing that is a solid section of these posts--because it was all one piece--not several posts that they attached together. A similar effect would be if you glued posts side by side together--except these were not totally round posts. When cut in the shape of a three foot pumpkin, it was about three inches thick and really made a cute texture to the front of the pumpkin. Wish I could have taken pics, but they really frown on that--afraid you are stealing their ideas! Luvs |
Sounds like a fun time. I love craft shows, but don't ever have anyone to go with. They are overwhelming. I only allow myself a certain amount of money to spend. I take a small notebook to jot down the things I like as I go, the price and location. If I don't then I forget where everything was by the time I get to the end. People probably think I'm trying to steal their ideas when I'm doing that, but not. At the end I look in my notebook and figure out what I want the most for my money then go get it. I'm glad you had a fun day luvs. ~A |
- Posted by luvstocraft (My Page) on Sun, Oct 29, 06 at 23:36
Anj, You sound like me--I want to see it all before I decide what to buy. (unless it is just something amazing that I know I have to get before they are sold out!).I sure miss my friend who died. The two of us had the most fun at craft shows. We'd see something we "just knew we could make", and she'd say "you memorize the top part and I'll memorize the bottom. Then off we'd go outside to draw our picture while it was fresh in our minds! ;o) I think we only actually made about three of those projects, but we sure had a lot of fun collecting ideas! I've tried going with a few other friends, but it's not the same. They aren't crafter's, and are too pokey so we don't get to cover the whole show, and they want to look at stuff I've already seen a million times! I want to find the new and unusual ideas. So while I love the chit chat and fun of being with someone--I sort of like to go alone so I can cover the show my way! Ha ha Is that terrible or what? Hey, I am just being honest here. Luvs |
Hey, I don't think it's terrible if you are woman enough to brave it alone. ha You are probably right, it would be more fun to go at your own pace and take time to look at what you want to. I'm just a big chicken butt and need somebody to hold my hand I guess. ha We have a Quilted Bear store here that has lots of different booths that people rent and show their stuff and I will go there alone, but it's not so overwhelming to me. The craft shows I've been to were all indoors and they can get so crowded and crazy. Sometimes I start feeling a little penned in and claustrophobic so I like to have some backup with me. ha Makes me sad that you lost such a good friend. It's hard to find people that you are really compatible with like that. Makes you really appreciate it when you find it though. :) ~Anj |

Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- It may surprise some, but Georgia ranks last among states dealing successfully with ethic problems. New Jersey, Illinois and Louisiana rank at the top of that list.
That word came to Albany on Wednesday evening at the Carnegie Library, home of the Albany Area Arts Council, from William Perry, executive director of Common Cause Georgia. State Sen. Josh McKoon, R-Columbus, joined Perry to tell the small group that showed up -- a total of three seniors -- how a change could be made.
"In Georgia, there is no cap on what lobbyists can give anyone in the State Assembly," McKoon said. "We are one of three states without regulations. As long as it is disclosed, it is legal. We think that is wrong."
Lobbyists and special interest groups spent $2 million on the Legislature, McKoon said. He is dead set against that, he added.
While the turnout Wednesday at the Albany meeting was miniscule, there was interested in ethics reform last summer. In the July 31 party primary elections in Georgia, Democrats asked their voters whether lobbyist spending on state lawmakers should be capped, and 72.6 percent said it should. Republicans went even further, asking voters in their party whether lobbyist spending on a lawmaker should be capped at $100. More than 87 percent of GOP voters said yes.
The two members of the Georgia Alliance for Ethics Reform came to Albany as part of a statewide swing to communicate what ethics reform can look like, ask people their thoughts and seek their support.
McKoon, who represents Senate District 29, plans to sponsor a four-legged bill with amendments to the state Constitution to put Georgia No. 1 in ethics enforcement.
The comprehensive bill would put a $100 limit on gifts, including food and travel. Because there are 12 people currently working in the ethics commission that oversees more than 4,000 elected officials, McKoon said, the bill would guarantee funding through the Constitution for an expanded ethics commission.
Investigating corruption would be turned over to the state Attorney General's Office. It would include the mechanism to empower a statewide grand jury to hand down indictments.
According to McKoon, members of the Legislature and other state employees would have a waiting period before they could take other jobs with companies doing business with the state. And the Georgia Open records Act would apply to the General Assembly, which is now exempt.
Asked if Gov. Nathan Deal would be on board with the changes, McKoon said he thought so. "The governor has already instituted a limit of $25 on his branch (of the government). I think he is open to meaningful ethics reform."
Sitting across the table from McKoon, Ben Clenney said, "You tell him if he can't do it, I'll come up there and do it for him."

" It may surprise some, but Georgia ranks last among states dealing successfully with ethic problems." Why in the world would this surprise anybody living in Albany, GA? With the Governor of Georgia being recognized as being one of the most corrupt politicians in America, why would this surprise anybody in Georgia? With the people of Georgia knowlingly electing a corrupt politician with such a national calibre for its governor what else would you expect? Hell, apparently it's in our DNA. We love it. Look at how we are wallowing in it here in Albany with our school board and governing commissions.

What about unelected Judy "Toilet" Bowles being allowed to harass job creators with government support when jobs are in such dire need?
waltspecht 2 years, 2 months ago
Ethics and Politicians. Now there is a mix that won't come together. State and Federal should be capped at $100 per year. In business I am not supposed to accept anything more than a pen from a vendor. Use the bid process, and make it an open bid. Why shouldn't our elected and appointed officials be held to an even more stringent standard?
Trustbuster 2 years, 2 months ago
One way to improving ethics in govt. is to allow term limitations for elected and appointed positions in Georgia.

Though Skin Essentials Skincare Studio & Day Spa owner Katherine Bocanegra found her way into the spa industry by coincidence, she discovered a genuine passion for helping others while working with beauty professionals across the country. In addition to mastering treatments using Skin Script products, her team of licensed aestheticians educates each one of their clients so they may continue their skincare routine at home or even in space.
Inside the spa, cascading water places guests at ease as they sit in round cherry-wood chairs. All services take place in private treatment rooms equipped with soft beds or chairs and unique d?cor, such as silky, gold curtains that glow by candlelight.
The trainers at Crossfire Fitness know that fitting a workout into a busy schedule can be tough—that's why they offer classes that start as early as 5 a.m. and go through the evening. In addition to leading boot-camp classes that rotate through a range of cardio and strength-training workouts, they helm TRX Suspension classes. Originally designed for Navy SEALs exercise regimens, elastic TRX Suspension cables add resistance to functional movements, working to build strength, work cores, and boost flexibility.
The staff supplement these two classes with nutritional guidance and personal-training sessions, helming a comprehensive system that helps clients get in shape and know the right muscle-friendly foods to consume, especially before auditioning to be Dolph Lundgren's stunt double.
CrossFit Unforgiven's team of certified trainers lead clients on the rippling, flexing road to health, steeling muscles with dead lifts, pushups, running, and pull-ups. Individual-specified workouts begin with weight-free technique training and focus on building physical, metaphysical, and mental strength.
One of the first sounds to welcome newcomers to Training Zone Martial Arts is the dull thud of a foot smacking into a pad. The instructors lead students of all ages and levels through tae kwon do classes in the intimate studio, helping adults perfect their strikes, and instilling in children the characteristic sense of discipline.
Fit Body Boot Camp instructors guide clients toward their fitness and weight-loss goals at locations throughout the world. They lead group workouts that integrate cardio exercise with resistance training and weight training, keeping sessions varied in order to avoid disheartening plateaus. Nutritional guidance supplements tailored fitness programs to ensure that clients are properly fueled to lose, gain, or maintain their weight.
Although they all come from different backgrounds, the coaches at CrossFit Covert agree on the best part of every workout: the community. Each workout of the day challenges its participants to lift weights and complete exercises for functional fitness. The intensity of the routine varies according to who's doing it, but the movements remain the same. The camaraderie is likewise shared?everyone encourages everyone else to finish their reps and come back for more.
With its bright yellow accents and open floorspace, the gym welcomes visitors of all ages. Many of its classes have babysitters scheduled at the same time, so parents can bring their children. Also on the schedule are women's boot-camp classes, kids' classes, and Saturday yoga sessions.

Lawmakers have blocked any chance of advancing the Barack Obama administration's draft proposal that would require companies to include in a bid for a contract which political candidates and parties they support.
The fiscal 2012 National Defense Authorization Act conference report states that the government "may not require a contractor to submit political information related to the contractor or a subcontractor at any tier, or any partner, officer, director, or employee of the contractor or subcontractor." The information can't be included in bids or other communications with industry in connection with a contract award and then throughout the life of a contract.
The provision is a reaction to a draft proposal that the administration circulated. Under the proposal, companies would have had to disclose the information if the total amount of contributions exceeded $5,000 in a year. Furthermore, officials wanted the contribution data made public through a searchable online database.
Officials said the goal is to increase transparency and accountability in procurement. The order highlighted "pay-to-play" laws in effect in several states, some of which require companies to disclose contribution information.
"Taxpayers deserve to feel confident that federal contracting decisions are based on merit alone and are not influenced by political favoritism," an administration official said in April.
The White House did not officially release the order, but it was going through the standard review and feedback process in April.
Some members of Congress feared the repercussions of such a proposal.
In response to the draft proposal, Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), ranking member of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said companies would opt out of contracting with the government. House Small Business Committee Chairman Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) said such an order would stifle the small-business community in particular.
The National Defense Authorization conference report must be passed by the House and Senate, and then sent to Obama's desk for his signature before it becomes law. House and Senate votes are expected this week.
As for the entire bill, the AP reported that White House officials are reviewing the bill, but it was unclear whether they would hold firm on a veto threat.

On the one hand, it would be nice to know which elected officials are being so generously funded for their re-election by contractors/vendors bidding on government procurements. On the other hand, the elected officials in power might unfairly pressure contracting officers to "disallow" bids from contractors/vendors that have supported opponents. It doesn't matter how low your bid is, if it is disallowed on a technicality, you are out of the running for the contract.

The back part of my property has been taken over by a weed I cannot identify. It is multi-stemmed, about 12 inches tall, small serated leaves, small purple flowers that when they die off there is a long spike, when this dries it turns to a barbed corkscrew that twist into everything!!!
I think the only way to get rid of it is to disc the whole back and start over. We have new neighbors that don't beleive in weeding, so this could be an on going thing. Any ideas? Thank you. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I need a picture to identify but from the flower discription sounds like a cranesbill. Most plants are very hardy and the seeds of many will sprout for years. If you get your disc out everytime you have a plant you do not recognize you might as well leave it concected to your tractor. Bare ground is not liked by nature. Ask your neighbors to tell you what they have that you think "they don't believe in weeding." You might be surprised that they are preventing run off to your land by a vegetative strip or have planted a butterfly habitat. |

In Defense of the Fantasy
Since: Aug 31, 2008 |
Posted on: September 25, 2008 4:33 pm
In Defense of the FantasyVery interesting reading this today after having a similar conversation with my foster son about how thought actually goes into deciding whom to draft and then start each week. This past week has good examples: we all heard LT talking post game about he would done whatever it took to play in order to help get his team a win vs. NYJ, almost verbatim what the two of us agreed would happen the Friday before; imagining myself as Mike Shanahan and game planning for NOS, I thought that the Broncs would try to run the ball more in order to keep the high powered Brees-led offense off the field. Even though I was wrong on the 2nd example, I'm sure any reader can understand how that decision came about and the decisions after that that eventually cost me a W this week. Although I think the idea of members of the sports media feeling threatened is prevalent, I don't believe it abounds. Our objectives are clearly different. Ours are to win fantasy games, theirs are to fill air-time. Both require a similar knowledge, but the means to our ends are sometimes worlds apart. Having said that, it is clear, to me at least, that the best sports media reps are (on average, there are exceptions) former players or coaches. Think about guys like Ron Jaworski, Steve Young and Mark Schlereth who review the game footage and then translate for the average viewer what it all means going forward. On the other side, guys like Al Micheals are greats reps of the business b/c of their command of the language and understanding of the game. But us fantasy players need that analysis b/c we can't do it all ourselves. Did you see how many other things take up our time (wife, kids, job, home, etc)? :) |

In Defense of the FantasyFantasy Football, like other fantasy sports are played for several key reasons. It is a way to bring friends together whom cannot see each other all the time. It is a way to grow your knowledge of the sport. Recently Thrashard sent a great site about Fantasy Sports - here are a few stats this site came up with: What is the size of the fantasy sports industry?
Who plays fantasy sports? The average fantasy player has these characteristics:
Not too bad for Fantasy Geeks, eh? Fantasy sports in fun, straight up. Not only did I play sports in high school, college and now recreationally, I am proud to be the Fantasy Geek these clowns call us! Hey, I am only one of about 26 million people - so who cares what these guys are saying anyways? I mean - Scott Van Pelt and Colin Cowherd! HA - those guys are total geeks! |

In Defense of the FantasyGreat blog. For most of us, fantasy football is a hobby. It is something that we can enjoy in our spare time in addition to elevating our appreciation for sports. What's my impact on fantasy sports? Very little for fantasy football as I was already deeply entrenched in pro football for at least 5-6 years before I played fantasy football for the 1st time. But if it wasn't for fantasy basketball, then there would be 1 less fan for the NBA. I have so much more appreciation for basketball than I did in the past. I always thought basketball players were primadonnas who overacted on the court every time they were bumped, or fouled, by another player. Fantasy basketball changed my view on this. I hardly did any preliminary research on the sport but during the season, I started watching more games. I started reading about players. I wanted to understand the rules more. I went out of my way to understand the game of basketball and the players that played them. Not only that, but I started going to games and buying merchandise. These are things I would've never done had I not been exposed to fantasy basketball. So there's an economic impact. When I play fantasy sports, it's not because I want to be a GM in real life. Heck, I know I'm not qualified. I play fantasy sports because it's fun. You're able to get together with a group of people who have the same interests you do. These "critics" want to say that fantasy sports should only be for the GM, but how many of these GM's actually play fantasy sports? And if they did, how well would THEY do? These writers are lucky to be in the postion that they are in. 29.9 million people above the age of 12 played fantasy sports last year. These writers should be a little more sympathetic to there fanbase since there are millions of us fantasy idiots out there. |

Why the hell aren't you guys supporting WEAKAURAS 2?! IS THIS THE APOCALYPSE?!
I would like to echo Lillaker's and hexiaqt's pleas to update Svelte to work properly with Masque. Pretty please? The author appears to have been inactive since 2010, but Lillaker is right, it really is the best skin. I've tried many others and nothing that has been updated comes close to the same look.
Just a couple notes about the status of some of these links:
"DaedUI" seems to have been updated from ButtonFacade to Masque.
"Darion" link is broken. The correct link is http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/masque_darion
"Dek2" gives me a 404 error.
"Frozen" brings me to the proper WoWUI page but the file seems to be unavailable for download. I'm not sure if this counts as a broken link or not, but it seems to be no longer available.
"Trinity" seems to have been updated for Masque.
Thank you for all your work. I hope I've helped a little. :)
I'm still hoping that someone can update SimpleSquare to work properly with Masque and not screw up the macro text:
:) Please :D
Hi Storm, The Renaitre skins have an updated address at http://www.curse.com/addons/wow/masque-renaitre -thanks for helping me with that.

Hi all,
I'm drowning in a sea of junk mail and newspaper here. I guess like many others, use the council recycling bin as much as possible, but I'd love to take care of most of the paper myself. I can fill more than a large (70lt) garbage bag(tightly packed) with shredded junk mail / newsprint per week. I currently use this as bedding in my Reln Worm Factory, and also layer it in my 2 x 250lt compost bins with kitchen scraps etc., but it's not enough! Is there a way of optimising a worm setup to take care of large ammounts of paper? Cheers |
Follow-Up Postings:
not unless you have a very large worm setup .... maybe you should try returning the junk mail to it's origins and start a bit of fuss about the excess of it ... and newsprint is actually best recycled, so it can be repulped and reused Bill |
Try getting your junk mail cut off. I had mine cut off two years ago and am only now starting to get 3 to 4 junk mail envelopes a week. Here in the states there are a couple choices. Direct Marketing Association, registering them is a buck US Greendimes.com., registering with them is 20 bucks but they keep tabs no your account. You could use them for mail from the US and you probably have something like it in Canada. |
I called the phone number of each piece of junk mail sent to me and requested that they stop sending me stuff. I rarely get anything other than the weekly grocery/coupon fliers. It's free, and only takes a few minutes. |
- Posted by marauder01 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 16, 08 at 0:46
Thanks for the suggestions. I guess I could use the newsprint straight back to recycling (pulp). No probs. It just seems a shame to waste so much potential! LOL. Perhaps I can reevaluate when (if) I move to a larger scale worm-ery.. I'll try the other methods above too. Thanks guys |
I always figured it's better to have more paper than foodscraps since too much food can cause the bin to go sour and worms can survive on only newspaper or cardboard (don't quote me on the latter, I read it somewhere on here) |
I like to pull the return envelopes from the junk mail and stuff two or three pieces of ripped up junk mail from different places in it and mail it back. |

I didn't use Kodachrome 200, but I have seen a lot of it over the years through the display of slides shot on the stuff by my father.
Kodachrome 200 does produce a pretty good level of apparent sharpness when projected through low/medium quality projector lenses. That impression, in my opinoin, is diminished when the slide is projected via a lens of very high quality.
Is it possible that this was one of the design goals? Given that it was a high speed slide film for the times - was it optimized to give high relative apparent sharpness on "mainstream" lens systems?
Perhaps Photo Engineer knows...

Christchurch student James Munro continues to lead the Formula Masters China Series after three races at the Sepang International Circuit over the weekend. Two seconds and a fourth placing was not in the plan but has given him valuable points as the Series heads to the last two rounds for the season.
Race 12 (report to follow)
"A bit of a tough day today," commented Munro. "After getting a great start I was shuffled back to 6th in the first few laps. I made my way up to 3rd and we were fairly quick but unfortunately I dropped back to 4th with a few laps to go."
"It has been a very tough weekend, but I'm still leading the championship comfortably. The next two rounds will be in Zhuhai and Shanghai, where I started from pole in 4 of 5 races and won every race in the first two rounds! I'm sure we'll be back to our best at the next round."
Races 10 & 11
Hong Kong driver Matthew Solomon (18) of Eurasia Motorsport got his weekend off to a perfect start with victory in Races 10 and 11 of the Formula Masters China Series (FMCS) today at Malaysia's Formula 1 track, the Sepang International Circuit. Solomon, who has now won four consecutive races, beat FMCS Drivers Classification leader James Munro (17) of Cebu Pacific Air by KCMG in both races and is now just 20 points out of first place with tomorrow's Race 12 still to come.
"[Race 11] was tough after a good start where I was able to get to the lead for a bit," commented Munro. "It felt quite good but then I struggled a bit, sliding around quite a lot and I wasn't able to get the lead back once Matthew had passed me."
"But it's been a good job by the team, I still lead the championship by a long way and now I'll have to go out there tomorrow and see whether I can get back on that top step."
This morning's wet Race 10 saw plenty of drama with the heavy rain. Starting from pole, Parsons held onto the lead at the start, with Solomon, Wells and Munro behind him. On the third lap, Parsons spun and fell back to fourth, handing Solomon the lead with Wells behind him. Munro got by Wells and began battling with the Hong Kong driver for the lead.
After Munro spun on Lap 5, Solomon was in the clear and remained unchallenged for the remainder of the 10-lap race to take victory by 8.902 seconds. Behind Solomon, team mates Munro and Wells battled, but Wells couldn't get past.
With Parsons maintaining fourth, Hutomo worked his way up from 13th on the grid to finish fifth, while Yuan also made his way up to sixth having started 11th.
With the fastest lap times from Race 10 determining the grid for the six-lap Race 11, it was Solomon who started from pole position, with Munro alongside him. Wells and Yuan formed the second row, with Parsons and fellow FMCS newcomer Philip Hamprecht (17) of Super License on the third row.
Munro had a strong start and soon overtook Solomon for the lead. With Wells unable to start, Yuan moved into third but fell back to sixth after the first lap. He would go on to finish ninth. Parsons made his way up to third, with Hutomo off like a rocket to go from ninth to fourth by the end of the first lap.
Solomon took back the lead on Lap 2, with Parsons staying close to Munro; the two would battle for the remainder of the race. Hutomo was behind in fourth while Yuan overtook to move up into fifth. Yuan spun on Lap 4, falling to the middle of the field and he finished ninth. While Bao started from the back of the field, the Star Racing Academy driver worked his way up to finish eighth overall.

TGC_com - We're just about five minutes away from our live chat with Rick Smith. Don't miss tonight's Academy Live with Rick and his star student Phil Mickelson at 8:00PM ET only on The Golf Channel!
TGC_com - OK lets get started!!
Bluetees - Mr. Smith , How would you suggest a player find and practice correct rhythm and tempo?
Rick_S - I think one of the best things to do is to learn make swing allot of pitching wedges working on the proper blend of arm swing and body motion, never letting one motion out race the other. Hitting balls with 5 irons making full swings at 50 percent speed starting with a lighter grip pressure in the setup and allowing the arms hanging freely from the proper golf posture.
Rick_S - its important having problems more importantly, when the proper sequence of motion i.e., Nick Price, everything is quick but its together vs. Vijay Singh, who has long and slow tempo, never the less the speed is through the ball and not at the ball.
Bqgolfr - I keep hitting it fat. Can you give me a practice drill to overcome this.
Rick_S - my impact drill is my favorite. setup the ball with a short iron, with what I can the simulated impact position, hips turned open, weight on the left side, right heel slightly off the ground, shoulder square, head back, hands forward, on the backswing
Rick_S - have slight wrist cocked to the inside, and as you swing forward strike the golf ball, extend your arms and rotate at the same time. you'll learn with this drill how to hit down on the ball properly because in most cases if you're hitting it fast, you're hanging back towards your back foot, flipping the club to the golf ball too early.
Rick_S - work on this drill several times as you make a full swing you want to feel yourself moving through your impact position. that's an excellent drill.
Srs - As my clubs get longer, so does my fade. What can I do to hit a 4 iron as straight as my 7 iron.
Rick_S - first of all, a short iron has more loft, which decrease sidespin. obviously your swing is too much from the outside in coming down in your swing you need to work on draw drills from your club on the downswing, you want to feel more arm fall with a to your left with your hips
Rick_S - followed by better forearm rotation as you swing to right field. a good drill is to put your right foot behind your left foot play the ball back in stance learn to hit it out to right field, clubface rotating to a draw position.
Rick_S - that will take the steepness out of your swing , which should improve your ability to draw.
bqgolfr - I seem to have an upper body swing, mainly using my arms. Do you have a drill where I can learn to incorporate more body.
Rick_S - my favorite step drill where you start with your feet together, make your back swing and right before you reach the top of your turn, step forward, feeling the motion moving to your left, follow up with the turning of your body.
Rick_S - do this drill many times without hitting balls, then hit balls feeling the motion forward with the lower body without the step. this will give you proper sensation or feel of the proper downswing.
Ronnie - Rick, I have several of your video's, can you pleas explain, club head lag or holding the angle and how the body turns through impact. Thank You
Rick_S - the bottom line is when you set an angle on the backswing, as your body starts to move forward either lower or upper wrists are not uncocking prematurely, this cracking the whip so to speak is what I refer to as lag,
Rick_S - when the club, when the arms are because of centrifugal force cocking the release to a in line relationship of left arm and club shaft at impact.
Rick_S - you almost always see the great players maintain that angle in the first few feet of the downswing which results in tremendous power through the impact.
Rick_S - the body centers on the downswing and then rotates, which assists in the release of the clubhead.
Jquill - Could you please discuss grip pressure when putting. Dave Pelz advocates getting the club deep in the hands---and by doing this I seem to grip too firmly.
Rick_S - its an individual preference, where you always want to have more feel for the putter head granted you don't want to go so tight that you lose feel for your putter , the difference between being firm commentates pressure, vs. having an inline relationship between the back of your hand and the club shaft through impact
Rick_S - to the eyes it looks firm many people think firm is tight which is wrong,
Rick_S - id rather see soft hands with a motion for feel and consistency
ANDO - Mr. Smith, as the downswing begins should we be aiming at a certain part of the ball ?
Rick_S - if I'm a slicer, I'm feeling like I'm going to take the inside quadrant focus on that area but I like to have a student look at the whole area not just the ball itself.
Rick_S - this gives you greater latitude as it relates to picturing the bottom of the arc that relates to your desired ball flight.
Rick_S - I think staring at a golf ball creates too much tension that makes you too hit oriented vs. swing oriented. which I prefer
yourfour - Rick, no question, just a comment. Your Tradition and Signature Courses at Treetops are incredible. They are beautiful and fun for all handicappers. Thanks.
Rick_S - thank you very much. a lot of time and energy of mine went into those two courses. enjoyment, beauty and the traditional elements of this design were a key part of what I had in mind for the golf courses. I do think they will stand the test of time, I'm looking forward to having many that haven't played to do so.
TGC_com - Just FYI -- Rick teaches out of the Rick Smith Golf Academy at Treetops Resort in Gaylord Michigan in the summer months. You can reach his office by calling 800-866-0353.
Jquill - Rick, being snowbound in the northeast, can you suggest any indoor drills to get me ready for the upcoming season?
Rick_S - absolutely, I think swinging a heavy club up slowly working on a full turn , full wrist cock and a wider arc on the backswing and swinging down and forward, doing mirror work, working on body motion is excellent as is working on stretching. one of my favorite, keep the right hand, putting it under the left wrist
Rick_S - swinging back without a club resisting with the lower turning with the upper touching left arm, holding top of swing position 5 seconds then relaxing
Rick_S - do this 5 times a day in front of the mirror which will make a difference in your golf swing.
TGC_com - We've got about ten more minutes left with Rick before we have to let him go. Be sure to watch Rick and his student Phil Mickelson tonight on Academy Live at 8PM ET on The Golf Channel.
Bigg Jon - Hi Rick, I am brand new to the game, I was on a course for the first time in my life yesterday, I love it, but I have yet to get a set of clubs, I am unsure what to get, I am a very short guy, I am 5'5, and left handed...do u have any suggestions? Thanks
Rick_S - seek professional guidance with a PGA professional that can fit you with a set. with a set of Orlimar irons, by the way I do endorse them immediately get some instruction so that you can improve on a much faster scale
bqgolfr - Can you explain the swing plane and how to achieve the correct plane.
Rick_S - a golf swing is a titled circle that must be mastered on both sides of the golf ball. from the back swing into the downswing as well as into the finish. the proper swing shape comes from the proper turning of the body and the proper movement of the arms with sufficient are which these factors all contribute to the proper shape or i.e. plane of the swing
Rick_S - learning the correct body motion, learn the correct arm swing shape and you'll be way ahead of the game when it comes to understanding swing playing.
TGC_com - Just FYI -- Rick teaches in the winter months out of the Rick Smith Golf Resort at the Piburon Golf Club at the Ritz Carlton Naples Golf Resort in Naples, Florida. he can be reached there by calling 941-593-1111.
Brian M - Briefly explain correct ball position starting with the driver going down to a wedge. Thanks
Rick_S - driver is off the logo on your chest, left of your sternum. irons moving back just forward of the sternum obviously ascending motion with the driver and a descending motion with the irons will help develop the descending motion with the irons.
TGC_com - Time for two more questions ...
Bj Craig - Rick have you ever played on tour?
Rick_S - I played in the us open a lot of mini tours with some success I qualified for the Buick open in my younger years. injuries prevented me from playing any more, plus the love of helping others and developing Treetops Resort, and teaching seems to take priority.
Jquill - I'm a big fan of your teaching methods---you're not so mechanically oriented. Do you think too many mechanical thoughts can hurt you?
Rick_S - I believe that the proper motion creates position. position can destroy the rhythm , the proper sequence, I feel you move through positions dynamically. its important to swing into a proper position yet the golf swing is never static at any time that's why I advocate more motion exercises than static ones
TGC_com - That's all the time we have today...thanks to Rick Smith for joining us to chat!
Rick_S - I really enjoyed being with everyone, I'm currently at Bay Hill working with my players, I wish the best to everyone.
TGC_com - Again, Rick Smith and Phil Mickelson will join Peter Kessler at 8PM tonight on Academy Live as we continue Tune Up Your Game Week on The Golf Channel!
