5 brilliantPosted: 15/03/2011Since I got dragon age 1 for Christmas I have been dying to get my hands on 2, and thankfully it didnt disappoint. The story is amazing and engaging and with the updated graphics just add another dimension to the game play. Although I was expecting that dragon age one story line would play a much larger role with the new game, I feel that dragonage 2 is much more like a game expanding the dragon age world with new villains and setting that offer more insight into the whole world that bioware have created. This game is brilliant and is worth getting for any RPG fan and if dragon 2 follows 1 there should be new downloads and quests that will add more and more to this game until dragonage 3 comes out.
5 Amazing program let down by the casePosted: 13/07/2010Ok if your reading this you must have watched the first season (if you havent go buy it) and all I can say is the second season is even better. Without a doubt the venture bros is one of the best programs on tv at present or ever.The only problem from a collecting stand point the first season case is beautiful, a cardboard dvd case with amazing art of the venture family. The second season is your standard plastic case with a paper sleeve even the image on the cover is pretty lame.

I enjoyed the cover they did of Radiohead's Exit Music (For a Film) from Stereogum Presents… OKX: A Tribute to OK Computer, and that is saying a great deal because I am SUPER sensitive about Radiohead.
In fact, that was my introduction to Vampire Weekend and they seem alright to me.
The sense that I get from the comments on this website (and a few others) is that Vampire Weekend is a band that is used to establish a listener's musical credibility or something. Either you're cool if you love them, or you're cool if you find mildly clever ways insult them and those who would dare enjoy their music.
To what purpose?
I feel like I am in the middle of an incredibly ridiculous gang war whenever I come across an article that references Vampire Weekend and the comments haven't been disabled.
Music is such a personal thing that attempting to establish your coolness factor by lambasting or applauding bands on message boards and in commentary sections, seems less like an attempt at genuine dialog and more like a way to fuel feelings of shame, inadequacy and/or anger (sometimes all three) among those who like the band, or self-righteousness and vindication for those who agree with the nay-sayer(s).
My question about this simple: why?
I enjoy honest thoughtful critique of art just as much as anyone, but I have yet to read a criticism of Vampire Weekend's music that doesn't rely on insults about their wealth and privilege and/or their appeal to the hipster set. Admittedly, I haven't scoured the Internets looking for this information (I do have a life), but what I have read raises a few questions for me, namely: Do artist seem less genuine if they didn't come from poor or middle class upbringings? Are artist responsible for the audience they attract?
What's a LiLo?
I would like to amend the second to the last sentence from my comment above: Rather than say "screw the rest who simply don't get it." (which isn't very nice and wasn't quite what I was necessarily meaning to say) let me instead say the following:
Thank you MGMT for being the band I suspected you were, may you continue to explore and challenge yourselves and your audience. For those who are unwilling or unable to take that journey with you, may they find some other music or art form that gives them as much pleasure as the first listening of your latest offering has given me.
Yeah, that's much better.
Love man. Just Love.
I should preface this review by saying that the very first song by MGMT that I heard was 'Weekend Wars.'
Okay, here goes…
There are times when I find the English language sorely inadequate when trying to express my immense pleasure. However, I am grateful that I can at least make a cursory attempt and say that Congratulations is everything that I had hoped for from MGMT. My love for Oracular Spectacular's "Weekend Wars" and "Of Moons, Birds, and Monsters" "4th Dimensional Transition" and "The Handshake" which I found to be quite superior to "Kids" and "Electric Feel" (not to discount the relevance of those songs) has found in their sophomore album, amazingly thoughtful and unapologetic musicians, who have transcended the pop-culture exigencies for mindless (yet highly danceable) fluff, and managed to demonstrate that they are artisans rather than another set of audio-pedestrians. That is not to suggest that their more popular fare can be remotely classified, as being unimaginative. If you were paying attention at all, you'd be hard pressed to claim that any of MGMT's lyrics are devoid of poignancy and depth (yes, even 'Electric Feel').
I am simply saying that in Congratulations, more discerning listeners will find that their musicianship has matched their lyrical complexity so that the ideas they are trying to convey aren't as escapable as they might be whilst shaking your body on the dance floor.
Thank you MGMT for being the band I suspected you were and screw the rest who simply don't get it.
Oh, and 'Siberian Breaks' is probably the sickest shit I have heard in a while. The lyric: 'if you're conscious you must be depressed, or at least cynical' is worth my money any day!
What's a Ke$ha?
Notably absent from this list would be Röyksopp's 'Junior.' Although, I suppose if you must limit yourself to 50, you are going to have to gloss over a few.
Listening to Animal Collective's 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' creates an inescapable atmosphere of intense and long lasting euphoria from its first notes, and like true art of its kind, caused me to transcend my physical self and recall that there is still some joy and beauty to be found in this world.
I cannot think of a more deserving album for the top spot.

Velvet Deer Antler is named after the soft, velvet-like covering that deer antlers have before they turn bony. Antlers are organs of bone which regenerate each year from the heads of male deer. In addition to bone, support tissues such as nerves also regenerate. Nerves grow up to 1 cm each day. Deer antler velvet contains many substances including amino acids, minerals, proteins, anti-inflammatory peptides, hormones, gangliosides and glycosaminoglycans, and Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. The composition of velvet supplements depend on the diet of the deer, climate, time of year, age of stag and the various concentrations of substances in different regions of the antler velvet itself.
Deer Antler Plus is a safe, proprietary brand of the highest quality deer velvet. Deer velvet is an animal product produced from the velvet antler of red deer. It is harvested humanely at the soft stage, is immediately freeze dried to maintain all its active ingredients, ground and encapsulated in gelatin capsules. It is harvested sustainable in clean, green New Zealand, the largest exporter of deer velvet in the world.

"It's pretty much 'demands exceeds' though the summer," he said.
Well-Pict uses some of the same growing techniques, such as integrated pest management and bug vacuums, for conventional strawberries that it uses for organic ones, Crowley said.
The firm only uses pesticides on berries "as a last-ditch effort," he said.
Overall, sales of organic blueberries are on the rise, said Mark Villata, executive director of the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, Folsom, Calif.
"It is a growing sector," he said.
However, growing organic blueberries in parts of Oregon can be a challenge, said Brian Malensky, director of fresh market sales for Oregon Berry Packing Co., Hillsboro.
The large amount of rain that west Oregon receives makes it just about impossible to grow organic blueberries, he said.
"We would love to do it, but a whole year's crop could be wiped out if we received too much rain," he said.
Brian Ostlund, executive director for the Oregon Blueberry Commission in Salem, said he has not seen as much growth in the category as he thought he would.
Growers in isolated production areas tend to have more luck keeping diseases and pests at bay and producing a nicer organic crop than those in denser production areas, he said.
He expects the state's organic acreage to increase over time.

Van Gaal explains short break
22 Jun 2010 - 16:39:35
Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal has rejected suggestions that last season's double-winning side should have been awarded more of a summer break.
Van Gaal welcomed 27 players back to pre-season training in Munich on Monday less than five weeks after their final game of the last season.
Bayern lost 2-0 to Internazionale in the Champions League final in Madrid on May 22 but every first-team player, minus those on World Cup duty, all reported back to the club's training base on Monday.
Van Gaal will put his players through their paces for two weeks before a 10-day break ahead of a series of pre-season matches.
"I don't think players need more than four or five weeks holiday at a time," explained the Dutch coach.
"We've had four and a half weeks to recover from last season.
"Now the players such as Ivica Olic and Daniel Pranjic who aren't at the World Cup need to start training again."

Why did you have to spoil this thread with your ignorant comments.
Tks OP for posting this vid. Selfless giving is the best kind of giving. Beautiful indeed.
I do not think I spoiled anything. I have a right to an opinion just as you do. My post is real...This guy is going to spend his life feeding these people who "cannot do it themselves" Im sorry...you are just a limp wristed liberal...You like the idea of this guy, but obviously you do not have the "wherewithall" to do it yourself, so you are just spending some time fantacizaing how YOU would feel if you COULD do what he actually does...
Lets see if any of these people help him if he gets sick...I actually am glad that there are people like this in the world...I just think that if a person is so fucking stupid as to eat their own shit, they deserve the ramifications of that action...Even a retard can learm what plants are native to their environment, or can fucking start walking into another place that is not so fucked up.
I just dont really have alot of compassion for people who cannot fend for themselves....

Architectural giant Perkins+Will [1] recently surveyed its staff of 1,500 design pros to forcast hot trends in the AEC field for 2014. The resulting Design + Insights Survey reflects a global perspective, influenced by the firm's active international projects.
Robin Guenther, FAIA, LEED AP, Principal/Sustainable Healthcare Design Leader, labels Superstorm Sandy "a critical wake-up call." The report predicts that designers will pay more attention to creating work that accounts for the possiblity of natural disasters. Preparedness will be integrated with community-based design responses to impacts such as earthquakes, tornados, floods, and drought.
Health aspects of building materials, as well as reduction in water use and adaptation to climate change, will be strong focuses in green design. The report characterizes material health as "the number one concern for 2014" among all sustainability issues.
Employee health and wellness will be increasingly central to design, the firm predicts. The intention to accommodate more movement opportunities in projects will have to overcome the fact that some clients do not see this as a high priority, particularly in workplace design. Nevertheless, "There are some alarming statistics that indicate movement throughout the day—or the lack of it—is part of a new frontier in predicting health outcomes," according to Joan Blumenfeld, FAIA, LEED AP, Principal/Global Interior Design Leader.
A mix of age groups will continue to force change in workplace culture, collaboration, and research, according to the report. Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Millennials, and Generation Xers often have very different ideas about what constitutes a productive and effective workplace. Millennials (1980-2000) prioritize tools and technologies, whereas Boomers (1946-1964) place a strong emphasis on a supportive culture. "Design [should address] the diverse workstyles emerging as a result of the generational shift underway," says Frederick J. Schmidt, IIDA, LEED AP, Managing Principal/Global Corporate Interiors Practice Chair.
Modeling, collaboration, and mobile technologies will dramatically influence better design processes, the report predicts. Current key focuses include energy modeling and environmental analysis; project- and information-management applications; remote collaboration/communications technologies; and smartphones/tablets that enable mobility. Important emerging technologies include free and publicly available data sets, ubiquitous remote sensing, and rapid application development.

Marysville cop charged with manslaughter in daughter's death
A Marysville police officer whose daughter was fatally shot by his 3-year-old son with a loaded handgun left in the family van was charged Tuesday with second-degree manslaughter.
Seattle Times staff reporter
A Marysville police officer whose 7-year-old daughter was fatally shot by her younger brother with a handgun left in the family van was charged Tuesday with second-degree manslaughter.
The officer, Derek Carlile, knew that his son was fascinated with firearms but nevertheless "failed to heed or be aware of a substantial risk that death would occur when he placed and left his loaded, unsecured revolver in an enclosed van with four children inside," Snohomish County prosecutors wrote in charging documents.
His daughter Jenna died at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle.
The shooting happened March 10 in Stanwood while the off-duty Carlile and his wife stepped out of their minivan, leaving their four children, ages 1 to 7, inside with the loaded handgun. Their 3-year-old son crawled into the front seat and shot his sister, prosecutors allege.
Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe defended the charge, saying it was filed because Carlile's criminal negligence resulted in a death. He said the charge "best fit the facts."
Roe said Carlile could have taken one of several steps to prevent the tragedy, including using the handgun's safety, placing the firearm in a locked box in the door, wearing it on his ankle, or moving it as his wife had instructed moments earlier.
"Any number of simple acts could have prevented this," Roe said.
Carlile is scheduled to be arraigned on June 5. If convicted as charged, he faces a standard sentence range of one year and nine months to two years and three months in prison.
The Camano Island resident, who has been a Marysville police officer since 2009, could not be reached for comment. However, his attorney, David Allen, issued a statement in which he expressed disappointment with the criminal charge.
"This is a double tragedy for the Carlile family that not only lost Jenna, but now also faces the possibility of losing Derek to prison if the prosecution is successful," Allen wrote in an email statement. "While he takes full responsibility for this tragic accident, his actions were not criminal and he intends to vigorously defend this charge."
Left in an open bin
Charging documents allege that Carlile, 30, his wife and children were on their way to a wedding on March 10 when they stopped in Stanwood.
Carlile was in a hurry and did not strap his off-duty firearm to his ankle, nor did he place it in a locking compartment in their Volkswagen van, the charges allege.
Instead, he placed the Smith and Wesson .38-caliber revolver in the van's open bin, which is designed to hold cups and keys, court documents allege.
Prosecutors say the handgun was fully loaded and that the safety was not on.
Carlile's wife, Forrest, noticed the handgun, charging documents allege, and asked her husband "what he was doing." She assumed that he then moved the handgun, she later told investigators.
Both adults got out of the van, and after a couple of minutes Derek Carlile and his friend heard a thud, or pop. They then saw the Carliles' 5-year-old daughter get out of the van and say something about a gun, according to the charges.
Carlile ran to the van, saw that Jenna had been shot and began performing CPR. She died the next day at Harborview Medical Center.
Fascinated by guns
During interviews with Snohomish County sheriff's detectives, Carlile and his wife both said that their 3-year-old son was fascinated by guns. Prosecutors say the boy owned several toy guns and was constantly trying to get into his father's home gun safe.
According to court documents, the 5-year-old daughter told investigators that once her parents got out of the van, her brother climbed out of his booster seat, then went to the front of the van and got the gun. She heard a boom and saw "smoke coming from the victim," court documents allege.
According to the court documents, the girl said that when her brother played with toy guns, he "pretends to shoot us."
Prosecutors said they decided not to charge the boy's mother because "she did not own the gun, bring it into the van or possess it at the time it was left in the van."
Further, prosecutors said, she "pointedly brought the defendant's attention to the gun by asking him what he was doing when he put the gun in the open container ... and believed that he had moved the gun to a safer location."
Carlile initially did not want his children interviewed by investigators. A court, however, ordered the family to allow the 5-year-old girl to discuss what happened.
Investigators said in charging documents that Carlile seemed to acknowledge his role in his child's death.
The boy "was very fascinated with guns, and that's why I'm beatin' myself up," Carlile is alleged to have said to investigators. "Because I left my damn gun for 40 seconds in the center ... it's like, what the hell?"
Carlile has been on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation into the shooting, according to Marysville police. The assistant to the police chief said Tuesday the department would not be answering any questions about Carlile, or his status, until Wednesday.
In the affidavit of probable cause, Deputy Prosecutor Lisa Paul acknowledged the difficult nuances of the case. "Though the undeniable tragedy and grief that has stricken the defendant and his family is staggering," she wrote, "compassion must be balanced with accountability for the acts which caused it."
Four children shot
Jenna, a student at Utsalady Elementary School on Camano Island, was the second of four children shot within seven weeks in Washington state and one of two involving the child of a law-enforcement officer.
In three of the four cases, including Carlile's, prosecutors have criminally charged an adult in connection with the shootings.
Kitsap County prosecutors filed charges of assault and unlawful weapon possession against the mother of a 9-year-old old boy who brought a gun to school in February that discharged and wounded classmate Amina Kocer-Bowman. Charging documents allege the mother, and her boyfriend, were negligent in leaving loaded weapons where the boy could find them.
In a plea deal, the boy's mother, Jamie Lee Chaffin, 34, pleaded guilty this month to two counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.
In Pierce County, prosecutors filed second-degree-manslaughter charges against another mother and her boyfriend after the woman's 3-year-old son found a loaded weapon in a car and shot himself March 14 at a Tacoma gas station.
On April 10, the 10-year-old daughter of a Spokane police officer was shot in the leg with her father's duty weapon. Officer Barry O'Connell, an 18-year police-department veteran, is on paid leave while police investigate.

SORAYA SARHADDI NELSON, BYLINE: I'm Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson in Berlin. There is little doubt President Obama would win if the elections were being held in Germany. Analysts here say four out of five Germans prefer the incumbent to his challenger, Mitt Romney. That's because many here can't relate to Romney's background as a venture capitalist or the Republican platform in general. Most Germans consider a large government providing numerous benefits and vigorous regulatory protections as their birthright. Like many here, Thomas Demel from the rural Sauerland region says he's closely following the presidential race in the German media. He is very critical of Romney.
THOMAS DEMEL: (Speaking foreign language)
NELSON: He describes the Republican candidate as a political novice, unqualified to lead the world's foremost power at home or abroad. That's in stark contrast to how many Germans viewed Obama when he ran against John McCain four years ago.
NELSON: His near rock-star status was captured in this YouTube video, as Obama took the podium here at a Berlin landmark in July 2008.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before.
NELSON: The visit was reminiscent of the one by John F. Kennedy to Berlin in 1963 when he delivered one of the most notable speeches of the Cold War. Josef Braml is an award-winning author and analyst with the German Council on Foreign Relations.
DR JOSEF BRAML: For many Germans, Obama is the new Kennedy. It's not only foreign policy, but it's the fact that there is a young guy who still believes in the good government role.
NELSON: But German sentiment toward Obama has cooled somewhat over the past four years. Some of those interviewed criticized him for failing to deliver a better universal health care plan for Americans or a comprehensive safety net for the middle class during the economic crisis. Others are unhappy that he hasn't ended the war in Afghanistan and failed to close the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay.
DORIS LEKENIEWERT: (Speaking foreign language)
NELSON: Doris Lekeniewert of Muenster says she's crossing her fingers that Obama will get another chance to show that the Germans' faith in him is not misplaced. Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson, NPR News, Berlin.

Preterm labour is when women go into labour before 37 weeks' gestation. Babies born before term (preterm birth) have poorer outcomes compared with babies who are born at term. The earlier the baby is born, the poorer the outcome. Most preterm births occur in low-income countries where medical help is less readily available. Preterm birth is a major cause of infant deaths and serious illness worldwide. Preterm birth can result in respiratory distress syndrome and chronic lung disease, bleeding into the fluid spaces (ventricles) within the brain (intraventricular haemorrhage)), generalised infection or infection of the blood stream (sepsis), cerebral palsy and other neuro-developmental impairments. Even short delays in preterm birth can enable women to reach specialist care and receive 'corticosteroid' drugs that are given to women before birth to improve their babies' lung function.
We assessed the benefits of betamimetics (drugs that inhibit contractions of the uterus) given to women with preterm labour against any adverse effects in randomised controlled trials. The betamimetics were administered, by any route or any dose, and compared with placebo, no treatment or other betamimetics. Twenty trials, testing the effect of betamimetics for inhibiting preterm labour, contributed data.The trials were published over a 44-year period between 1966 and 2010 and were conducted in tertiary care or university hospitals in high-income countries.
A total of 1367 women in preterm labour participated in the 12 trials that compared a betamimetic with placebo or no treatment. Betamimetics decreased the number of women giving birth within 48 hours and there was a decrease in the number of births within seven days.
The delay in the timing of birth did not translate into any improvements in neonatal outcomes but most women in the trials were 32 weeks' gestation or more. Betamimetics were not shown to reduce perinatal deaths or respiratory distress syndrome.
The side effects for the woman were considerable. These led to cessation of treatment and symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, headache, difficulty breathing, nausea and/or vomiting.
There was not enough evidence from the included trials to suggest that one betamimetic agent was superior to another.

Lance Scranton: Teachers: More than costs on a spreadsheet
Wednesday, May 2, 2012
Local teachers made the news last week when a healthy representation appeared before the Moffat County School Board to seek common ground regarding the rising cost of medical insurance premiums.
Plenty of discussion is tossed around when costs associated with running a school district are being negotiated. Employees are compelled to seek worthy remuneration for their efforts while management attempts to find cost-cutting measures intended to "ease" expenses.
Some segments of society see teachers as people who can't make it at a "real" job so they get into teaching. They work nine months of the year and have three months off every summer, go to work at 8 in the morning and are done by 3:30.
What a life – how much do they need to be compensated, anyway?
Others see educators as a group of people who make sacrifices to try and influence the future by teaching children.
These people know any teacher who arrives to work at 8 and leaves at 3:30 doesn't last very long, and when they come and sit in a classroom and see the reality teachers face every day, they understand what drives the weakest of the profession out into the "real" world for a "real" job.
First-rate wage and benefits were designed into the school budget long ago in a spirit of attracting teachers and families to rural Moffat County to become a stable part of the community.
But, it seems as though there is a disconnect in our district between those who make budgetary decisions and those who, in good faith, teach children every day and have made a choice to live in Craig partly because of the salary and benefit package.
Some years ago, the school district adjusted administrative salaries upwards to attract and maintain excellent leaders. Some might think the same should happen for classroom teachers.
Teachers are increasingly seen as a cost on a spreadsheet to be solved by managing the numbers and finding solutions such as increasing ("adjusting") premium rates.
Full disclosure: I do not take part in the district's medical insurance coverage for my family because of the expense.
Fourteen years ago I moved to Moffat County and the consensus among professionals I spoke with was that Moffat County teachers were taken care of and if I was a good teacher, I would find this a great place to settle down, raise a family and become part of a community.
I love this profession and hope to stay in Moffat County for the remainder of my career, but as education becomes more like a business, I'm not seen as a dedicated veteran as much as an expense and a less experienced (expensive) teacher might certainly "improve" the budgetary outlook.
Teachers who strive each day to make learning fun and effective, get kids engaged, deal with the emotions of children, and challenge the best and brightest students should have confidence that those in positions of leadership and oversight are looking out for them.
I hope this is what's still happening in our district.

There is no job more important than teaching our children how to take care of our future! It is mind boggling to think that a baseball player or an actor makes MILLIONS, and teachers are expected to eke out a living on a comparitively meager salary.

The group fighting the Colorado Legislature's theft of contracted pension benefits (saveperacola.com) posted a Colorado Court of Appeals schedule on their website today (as follows):
"We have received notice of the following scheduled dates for the lawsuit: 4/23/12 – Appellees to Supplement Record 5/29/12 – Appellee's Answering Brief 6/12/12 – Appellant's Reply Brief
PERA and the State of Colorado are the appellees. Gary R. Justus et al are the appellants."
Saveperacola also posted a request for help from Colorado PERA members, retirees and any others who support the rule of law in the United States. Saveperacola is raising funds for attorney fees to combat the theft of retirement benefits that were earned by PERA members over decades.
Are you a PERA member or retiree? Have you paid into PERA for many years? Do you expect the Colorado Legislature and Colorado PERA to honor their contractual obligations to you?
Well, your expectations are not grounded in reality.
It is pathetic, but the Colorado Legislature and Colorado PERA will not honor their legal commitments to you short of a court order. That has become quite clear during Colorado PERA's political, legal and lobbying campaigns.
If Colorado PERA members and retirees do not act, our interests will be brushed aside.
The Colorado Legislature and Colorado PERA are trying to use the volatility of investment markets to justify their breach of contracts. Remember that Colorado PERA members and retirees are members of a defined benefit plan. They do not bear any "market risk." In a defined benefit pension, "market risk" is borne by the sponsors of the plan, that is, the State of Colorado and Colorado local governments. The Colorado Legislature and Colorado PERA want to retroactively change the terms of our statutory pension contract.
Here's a quote from the new post on the saveperaacola website:
"Remember, the bottom line here is that unless we prevail in this lawsuit, PERA is off the hook for keeping the promises it made to every member and retiree."
What can you do? Go to the saveperacola.com website, click on the "Support" tab, and send them a contribution. Call or e-mail every PERA member and retiree you know and ask them send support. Call your public employee union representatives and ask them how they can stand idly by while the Colorado Legislature attempts to breach its contracts with public employees. Colleagues of our public sector union officials across the country are aggressively defending the pension rights of their union members. What has happened in Colorado is truly bizarre.

Stephen Curry listed as day to day
MADRID -- Stephen Curry is eager to overcome an ankle injury, hopeful it won't impact his chances of making the U.S. roster for the world championship.
Curry didn't practice Thursday after suffering a mild sprain to his left ankle a day earlier. The U.S. team said Curry's recovery was "progressing" but he remained day to day.
Team USA: Warmup Games
Here's Team USA's remaining schedule of exhibitions leading up to the 2010 FIBA men's basketball championship slated for Aug. 28-Sept. 12 in Istanbul, Turkey:
• Aug. 25: USA vs. Greece, Athens, Greece, Noon ET, ESPN2, ESPN3.com
With one player still to be cut from the 13-man squad -- and most likely a guard -- Curry looked slightly anxious after watching his teammates practice.
"It hurts. To miss a great practice like this with the scrimmaging and all -- it's never great to have an injury, especially in a pressure situation like this," Curry said at the Magic Box center on the outskirts of the Spanish capital. "I just have to make sure I get back this weekend."
The U.S. plays Lithuania on Saturday and defending world champion Spain on Sunday as part of it's warm-up for the Aug. 28- Sept. 12 tournament in Turkey.
Curry was on the court shooting free throws and 3-pointers while the team stretched out after playing a scrimmage. Curry wore flip-flops with a lone bandage over his ankle. He said he was already feeling better.
"The way it felt yesterday compared to today, I know I'm doing good," said the 22-year-old Golden State player.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said he would cut one player after the team's final exhibition match against Greece next week.

Hi' I really would appreciate some input with this problem which is tearing me apart.
My daughter,(21yrs) and partner do not get on at all. My daughter is known to friends and family as a complex character, she tends to rub people up thewrong way and can be quite verbally aggressive but I love her with all my heart! My partner of 5 years and I have just bought our dream home together and my daughter stated that she was staying at a friends for xmas but has just phoned to say she is coming to stay with me for 10 days. My partner is utterly dreading this and to be honest so am I as they really don't get on. He finds it hard to stay in the same room as her. A few day's would have been fine but 10 is a killer! My partner feels this way as he has seen me get hurt badly,(emotionally) in the past. I feel that xmas will bring everything to a head and I really can't choose between them. I love them both. Much of my pain comes from my daughter telling me that she wouldnt help me out financially when she inherited a VAST amount of money from her father. It's taken every bit of my strength to work through this but she is my daughter and she means more to me than all the material things in the world.But I need love and have found great happiness with this man and I don't want to lose it. Than for reading this |
Follow-Up Postings:
"Much of my pain comes from my daughter telling me that she wouldnt help me out financially when she inherited a VAST amount of money from her father." Why do you feel entitled to any part of your daughter's inheritance from her father? (vast amount or not) it is her money and she is not obligated to help you out, parent's are supposed to help children, not the other way around. It might be nice if she wanted to give or loan you something in your time of need, but parent's are supposed to take care of themselves, not rely on their kids to take care of them )unless they are elderly... then I think kids have an obligation to help parents then) You say you have a partner of 5 years, so you were with him when your daughter was a minor? He was with you when she inherited her vast amount of money? and you are in a good enough position to buy your dream house now? It sounds as if you are playing victim here... from what you say, you should not be 'hurt badly (emotionally) and it shouldn't take every bit of strength to work through it. If she means more to you than anything in the world, why are you saying your pain comes from her not sharing her inheritance? It also sounds like your partner is probably not happy that she turned you down and it really isn't any of his business... what she does with her dad's money or if she gives/loans you any. That is her business with you, not him. I think you and your partner have been out of line in that regard. If there are other reasons she doesn't get along with him, my opinion might be different, but from what you say, she sounds pretty smart and assertive enough to say no to giving her money away. And verbally aggressive or assertive? I have to wonder about that? |
This is really sad to me. The cause of the emotional pain is over money? Really? And your partner is upset about it for you as well? Unbelievable. I would hope that parents would be overjoyed to see their kids at Christmas. And if she inherited money, I'm assuming her father died? But your still upset about money? |
Oh this has all turned out wrong. The pain came about when father died. She didnt know him he left when she was six months old. That doesnt matter though. He was her father and quite honestly, the love of my life. I wish he had been hers. I always told her about him and hoped they'd keep in touch one day. Sadly, that wasn't to be. I never loved another man in all that time. When a parent, particularly, an absent parent dies it brings up loads of stuff from the past and it did. The money thing was a big problem. Who at 18 can cope with all that. I dideverything I could and still do. There has always been just her and I and I had to protect her until she could cope. We didnt recognise each other for a long time but now we're getting there. She pushes my buttons though, just a parent child thing and She knows I give in every time. All I'm saying is that the dynamics have changed and she is finds ihard to let me go as far as my relationship is concerned. I also, feel that it's my time in life to have love from a realtionship. It can be a total nightmare when we're together just like any other family and my partner does feel pushed out but he copes. I just love them both but worry that old wounds may surface. |

agree with imamommy. I think when parents are old and incapable of taking care of themselves, it is adult children's moral obligation to take care of their parents (provided they know their parents, not like parents appear from nowhere when they got old). also if let's say you are not old, but you pulled your back or broke your leg or are ill, it would be a normal moral obligation of your daughter to help you carry somehting heavy, or get you a cup of tea because you cannot move, bring you medication etc. But I don't understand how is that her obligation to share inheritance with you? you have nothing to do with that money. are you handicaped, very ill, elderly? i don't get it. and what is your partner's problem? i wonder if this post is for real. seems hard to believe. |
FD, I also wondered if this post is real. Seems unbelievable, but then again... Believer, sorry if you think I'm being harsh but that struck a nerve with me. I too, raised three kids alone.... My oldest son saw his father for about seven years (coincidentally? It was the same seven years I was with my exBF) but the rest of the time, I was on my own... no visitation, no support, etc. I get that the kids were not happy when I decided, when they were in their late teens, to start dating again and met my now husband. They didn't want things to change. I get that. I understand telling a grown child "this is my life & I deserve happiness" and if they don't like it, they can go have their own life. They are going to do that anyways within a few years. What I don't get is being pissed because her daughter won't share her inheritance. If she feels entitled because dad didn't pay support, that's a different story. If she was owed support/arrears, it would likely be paid from dad's estate, not from an inheritance. If she received support, she is not entitled to anything and I find it outrageous that she would hold it against the daughter for saying no to her. It's the daughter's money and the daughter suffered for most of her life, living without a father. Now, mom has a BF she doesn't like much and 'they' expect her to share her money. I don't blame her for saying no... and I don't even know the circumstances. If one of my kids received anything from their 'absent all their life' father, I would be happy for them, even if I was living in a cardboard box. They lived their lives without a father, partly because of a choice I made. I have to take responsibility for choosing to have children with someone that had the capacity to run away and not have a relationship with their child. OP also has some responsibility for picking the wrong guy to father her child. (and yeah, I know we don't always know that someone can/will walk away... and yeah, the primary responsibility lies with the parent that walks away... but there is 'some' responsibility on the parent that chooses to have a child with someone like that) Sometimes, it can be one sided but having the ability to abandon your children is a pretty big character flaw. In retrospect, there are usually signs that were there and ignored because we were in love... they are the love of our life.... etc. The bottom line is her daughter grew up without a dad and it's the daughter that has suffered... whether it was dad's fault alone or because mom chose a 'bad boy' to fall for, it doesn't really matter. Mom is wrong for expecting her to share her money. Mom's BF has no business being involved, let alone taking sides, on an issue that shouldn't even be an issue. and I understand the dynamics she's talking about. She's parented out of guilt and probably could use a parenting class or counseling. I agree that OP deserves her own life and relationship. She needs to learn how to break the cycle she created with her daughter. Her daughter knows what buttons to push (as many kids do... mine included) and she needs to learn how to not react and create boundaries to have an adult relationship with her daughter. If she continues to react to her daughter in the same way she did when the daughter was a teen, they will remain stuck in that dysfunctional cycle... where the daughter is 35 and still pushing mom's buttons, mom still reacting to it. That would be sad... that's if they are even still having a relationship. |
This is another post that seems bizarre to me. I doubt OP ever filed for CS (no contact between child and dad), so the option of suing the estate for back CS is gone. I can see OP feels cheated. I have to wonder if OP even loves current partner. There are a lot of red flags here. If a parent is only willing to accept a child if the child pays for it, she is not being a real parent. Ima -- I dont see guilt here I see greed. |
kkny, you might be right. I just find it hard to believe some parents think that way. |

"A few day's would have been fine but 10 is a killer!" I'm a step parent AND a step child like I think alot of people on here are.When I was your daughter's age,I didnt like my step father either.I'm fairly certain he didnt like me as well.It took a long time to build into a relationship,but we finally got along after alot of years. The thing is,you've got to try to STOP all negative talk about your daughter to your partner.He doesnt love her like you do or know her like you do,so everytime you tell him negative things,that is all he's going to associate her with and he will NEVER like her. |
- Posted by finedreams (My Page) on Tue, Dec 9, 08 at 8:18
iloveexercise, so you suggest she tells her daughter not to stay for 10 days because her partner does not like her? what kind of suggestion is that? this partner is not even a spouse and OP is supposed to choose him over her daughter? what kind of suggestion is that? |
- Posted by iloveexercise (My Page) on Tue, Dec 9, 08 at 16:32
Relax finedreams! She said SHE didnt want her daughter to stay for ten days as well,so dont just blame it on the partner. She isnt choosing anyone over anyone here so get a grip. |
- Posted by rielle2008 (My Page) on Wed, Dec 10, 08 at 10:11
Good Lord! Please tell me OP that you're not my egg donors twin. |
Thats exactly why I find this sad, Iloveexercise. SHE does not want the child around and the root of all the ill feelings comes from money. I hate this time of year :( |
- Posted by finedreams (My Page) on Wed, Dec 10, 08 at 10:52
it is even worse that not only her partner but she does nto want her child around. so i find your suggestion a bit strange no matter if both of them or just he does not like SD. maybe you consider your children houseguests, but most people treat children as family. most people would be excited to have their children for 10 days around holidays! once again everybody is different. |
The entire post is strange to me. Most people are thrilled when family comes. Depending on lenght of trip, short visit may not even be realistic. I have trouble with how this entire thing started. I fought tooth and nail to ensure DDs inheritance, but would never never mention it to any potenital BF of mine. The most I would say is that while I do not expect to support my DD when she is older, I would if I have to. |
Not everyone is thrilled when family comes. I can attest to that. There are certain members of my family whoes personality I seriously clash with and they grate my last nerve every second I am around them. If you have a difficult personality type chances are not even your family will want to be around you for too terribly long for fear of a battle royal. As far as the money goes...I seriously hope it is mostly clashing personalities and less about the money causing the issues here OP. If your daughter trully is a pain in the arse to be around I can understand ten days feeling like a decade but if it's all money oriented than shame on you. |
Doodles -- OP told us where pain comes from "Much of my pain comes from my daughter telling me that she wouldnt help me out financially when she inherited a VAST amount of money from her father. " |

Nivea, "Thats exactly why I find this sad, Iloveexercise. SHE does not want the child around and the root of all the ill feelings comes from money. I hate this time of year :(" |
"Much of my pain comes from my daughter telling me that she wouldnt help me out financially when she inherited a VAST amount of money from her father. " OK OP. That's just gross. You are an adult who is married to (I assume) an adult so it is in NO WAY daughters responsibility to tote you financially. It would not be you and hubs responsibility to tote HER financially either since she too is an adult. What is it with grown people wanting hand outs?! I never ask my parents for anything! If they want to help it is much appreciated but it's not expected from my end for leaping lizards sake! God bless America and it's population of self absorbed entitled cry babies.......I am so interested to see how many of them survive when the stock market drops out completely. |
I don't understand what the money has to do with anything. Set boundaries for your daughter. If she's verbally aggressive, put her in her place. Or, do you accommodate her in the hopes that she will give you some money??? If my child won the Mega Millions, it never would enter my mind to get some money off of him and I wouldn't think about that at all. Does your partner resent your daughter because of the money too? |
- Posted by iloveexercise (My Page) on Wed, Dec 10, 08 at 16:01
well,I dont mind being one of the only ones here who isnt just seeing BLACK AND WHITE.I see alot of you are quite judgemental and capable of seeing things only ONE way. You cant judge someone from just a few paragraphs.I'am sure Op loves her daughter,but ten days IS a long time! People have jobs and stuff.And ALL family is not a joy to be around. |
- Posted by cindy_pond (My Page) on Wed, Dec 10, 08 at 16:21
If my daughter called me and told me she was staying with me for ten days, I would be thrilled. Period. If your partner has a problem with that then let him deal with it. You can't replace your children... |
- Posted by iloveexercise (My Page) on Wed, Dec 10, 08 at 16:39
"My daughter is known to friends and family as a complex character, she tends to rub people up the wrong way and can be quite verbally aggressive " Verbally aggressive daughter who rubs people the wrong way. "My partner is utterly dreading this AND TO BE HONEST SO AM I" Op admits she isnt happy with the situation "A few day's would have been fine but 10 is a killer! " My suggestion was to tell her she could stay for a few days LESS.Let's say 3-5 days.She is STILL staying,just not as long. True,if this were me,I'd love to have my daughter stay with me the ten days.But without knowing the full history here,I'm not going to judge and say OP isnt a good mother for wanting her daughter to stay ten days! And no,none of you said it,but the implication is there. |
Iloveex, I think the sentence of OP you are ignoring is "Much of my pain comes from my daughter telling me that she wouldnt help me out financially when she inherited a VAST amount of money from her father. " With that the reason, in OPs own words, for the pain and DD not being welcome, no OP is not a good mother in my book. |
- Posted by iloveexercise (My Page) on Thu, Dec 11, 08 at 15:54
Still I will not say that Op is a bad mother.Op didnt elaborate on the details of the money issue.We dont know anything about it.Perhaps her DD had promised to help her with something before and backed out.Perhaps it was something serious. And if all of you can sit there and say you wouldnt be slightly hurt if you really needed something and after all you have done for your child they wouldnt help you when THEY had the chance,well,I think you're lying. Do I think it should continue to strain their relationship? No,of course not.But I would never call someone a bad mother unless there was significant evidence that what the mother has done has tramatized the child.Child doesnt seem too bothered since she wants to stay TEN DAYS! |
- Posted by cindy_pond (My Page) on Thu, Dec 11, 08 at 16:09
Who said she was a bad mother?..the only place I've read it is when you assumed people were thinking it in your posts...lighten up. |
I think Ima, doodle and I all felt the OP was greedy. Does that make her a poor mother? In my book, yes. |
- Posted by iloveexercise (My Page) on Thu, Dec 11, 08 at 16:54
Cindy pond~~ kkny just said so herself that op was a bad mother~so you lighten up. So because all of you felt she was greedy and I didnt that makes you right? Sorry,doesnt work that way. You jumped to the conclusion she was greedy without any real evidence.You werent told any reasons behind it. Here is a tip,try offering advice and being less harsh and judgemental to people.It is the holiday season,and none of you,from what I've read, are perfect. |
In the holiday season, I would suggest OP not trying to demand money from her DD. Of course there is evidence. OP said the problems stemmed from her DD not giving her money. I dont care if the kid (who is now only 21, and likely doesnt understand money) did promise. No mother unless she is desperate would take this tack. |
- Posted by iloveexercise (My Page) on Thu, Dec 11, 08 at 17:10
And I said I agreed with you on that.Regardless,pointing it out doesnt help the situation does it??? Giving the Op suggestions might help though. You all arent hurting my feelings because I have done nothing wrong but point out the obvious,that SOME here dont really leave any advice,just judgements. KKNY,what was your advice to OP? Anything besides get over it? |

kkny said it after your post...what you're trying to defend doesn't make sense. |

Cindy,I could tell what kkny thought by what she posted.I'm perceptive like that.The fact that she admitted that was how she felt only confirms my perception. What am I trying to defend? Re-read the post and see that it was FINEDREAMS who singled my advice out first.Just because I didnt jump on the Op is a bad mom bandwagon. |

I think if we could all get together in the same room we would understand what we were trying to convey a lot more clearly than trying to type stuff without the true emotion behind it. This can be confusing. On that note, I'm going to have some wine now..wish you all were here to join me. |
