Prime Minister Stephen Harper heads a political movement whose success relies heavily on the inattention of voters.
Ezra Levant is a squalid nuisance, barely worth contemplating.
Sun Media is the problem.
On Monday, Sun Media apologized for Levant's repellent and sexually obsessive hysterics about Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's parents, one dead and the other an elderly grandmother and thus neither in a position to defend themselves.
This only happened, of course, because Trudeau threatened no longer to talk to legitimate Sun Media journalists, of which we have been repeatedly assured there are a few, after Levant's Sept. 23 rant, and because former Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney intervened in his current role as a member of the board of Quebecor, which owns Sun Media.

If anyone has the right to be bitter about bright young Liberal leaders with good looks, great hair and supposedly thin resumes like those of New Brunswick premier-elect Brian Gallant and You-Know-Who, I guess it ought to be the not-quite-sixty-something Thomas Mulcair.
As the expression goes: be careful what you ask for! You might just get it.
There is irony -- perhaps even bitter irony -- in what newly minted Alberta Premier Jim Prentice managed to do to the Wildrose Opposition last week and will likely continue to do to them this week as well.
As he attempts to right the leaky Progressive Conservative ship of state, which nearly sank during the inept captaincy of fired premier Alison Redford, he has not only emphatically abandoned a whole gamut of policies once implemented by the Redford Government, he has done what the federal Liberals have done repeatedly to the New Democratic Party.
Last Wednesday night, during an engaging talk at the University of Alberta Faculty Club, Chrystia Freeland pretty clearly laid out the arguments for why voters in Edmonton Strathcona should re-elect New Democrat Linda Duncan in the next federal election.
The Toronto MP, who is one of the bright lights of Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau's caucus, wasn't aiming to make that point, of course. Indeed, she was actually gamely making the argument to the more than 100 Liberals who spent two hours listening to her remarks why voters should elect Eleanor Olszewski, the Liberal Party of Canada's standard-bearer in the riding.
Is there a contest going on in Ottawa about who can write the most despicable statement on Israel's current assault on Gaza? If so, the Green Party just put this one to bed. More on that in a moment.
Dear Liberal Party of Canada,
Whatever one thinks of the Israel/Palestine "conflict" or Hamas or whether Israel is a democracy, we have one simple question: when will you speak out against Israel's indiscriminate killing of hundreds of civilians, including over 200 children?
The Liberal Party statement is so detached from the reality of what is taking place in Gaza right now that we have to wonder whether perhaps the second half of the statement got lost somewhere.
Please help rabble.ca stop Harper's election fraud plan. Become a monthly supporter.
Federal byelections can be quite dramatic, harbingers of political upheaval to come.
We saw that back in 1978 when the tired Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau, backed into a constitutional corner, was forced to call no fewer than 15 byelections, all held on October 16 that year. The Liberals' worst fears were realized as they took a beating everywhere, winning just two of the byelections, both in Quebec. Seven months later, the Grits were out of office and the Tories, under Joe Clark, were in (briefly).
Please support our coverage of democratic movements and become a monthly supporter of rabble.ca.
If the good people of Fort McMurray climb out of bed this morning and decide to elect a Liberal to represent them in Parliament, there will be shock, dismay and consternation throughout Alberta.
But, fear not my fellow Albertans, even in the unlikely event this happens, it almost certainly won't mean whatever you are told it means.
It's certainly true that the Ontario Liberals are going to miss Progressive Conservative Party Leader Tim Hudak. He was a gift that kept on giving.
But their federal cousins, and the federal NDP as well, can take comfort. They still have Stephen Harper.
So it's not necessarily a sure bet, as the Laurentian Punditocracy has been relentlessly trying to tell us, that because there are now Liberals safely ensconced at Queen's Park, which is what Ontarians call their provincial Legislature in Toronto, and in the National Assembly, which is what Quebeckers call theirs in Quebec City, the Harper Government has no election worries into the indeterminable future.

I was mostly surprised that it was still possible to be changed, when the announcement was made.
I'd rather disagree with this view, while the Nieszawa statute(or whatever you decide to translate it as) did improve the nobilities position a lot it was just a continuation of the trends established 80 years earlier in the Kosice privilege. Of course I am not claiming the power of nobility in 1453 was even comparable to the power it had later on, still, compared to what would be encompassed by the "trader" faction they were simply unmatched. The problem that weakened the "trader faction" wasn't really the laws harming them(which started as early as the Warta statute and peaked in Piotrkowski privilege) but the lack of unity, with most cities trying to gain privileges for themselves only not for burghers as a whole. Technically, I think the best way would be for upper house to be nobility - clergy with lower being nobility - traders in the case of 1453 Poland.
Last edited by Alerion; 26-11-2011 at 18:10.
very astute - I do believe that the shift towards the noble faction began very gradually in the early feudal era. The trader faction ingame is a more generalization then the exact historical circumstance, but even with this being the case, they still represent a force (disunified as it may be) within the Union. Who is to say in your alternative timeline, they might have even united in their common needs sooner then later?
By all means could they have done so, pretty much only the Piotrkowski Privilege was the point of no return for the traders. Maybe a way of representing the possible shifts would be(since I doubt the chances of clergy gaining enough power) making an event dropping nobility from the lower house in case their power lessens with traders one increasing? And vice-versa, if traders power goes low to an extreme level a decision/event could happen dropping them out of the lower house. Both events could actually be named after a hypothetical(nobel dropping out) or historical(traders dropping out) privilege for immersion value. As for the traders power, Gdansk should play an important role, just I am not sure how exactly so. Since it was in a way the forefront of the burghers(Historically the last powerful city left while in the hypothetical scenario would be the strongest of them, or maybe a leader in a way.)
Either way, hoping for the system to be made most out of when the time will be right ^^. And from past experiances with MMtM I have my hopes high.
@ Alerion:
Well, I kind of agree with all you post.
The only things I wanted to achieve with my post was to point out that:
- the nobles weren't already all powerful in 1453
- they were not predestined to become so in any way
- neither the traders were completely impoverished yet
Sure, the wheels were set in motion. And sure, the nobility had already a lot of control... But the situation was not very different from other feudal countries. I don't think it is reasonable to state that Poland was a very special case, at least then.
And concerning the parliament - the model is, of course, an approximation. The setup chosen by MMTG team doesn't strike me as the worst possible (on the other hand, it starts to look weirder and weirder the later the start date). I assume that there are already some mechanisms that would push for more powerful nobility with stronger yet presentation - of course the player should be able to work against them, if he wishes so).
I COULD care less, but it would take a real effort.
Hmm I'm a bit late here but I have some questions specifically about Parliament in Constitutional Monarchy... we know that Great Britain in 18th century had House of Lords (nobles) and House of Commons (commoners). Since the table presented showed factions able to present laws in the Parliament in that form of government as nobles, clergy, and traders.... I'm assuming nobles and clergy are in the House of Lords or its equivalent and traders in the Commons or its equivalent. We know that House of Commons in 18th century Britain is not democratic nor is it representative of the commoners other than traders. It was never reformed until 1832 with Reform Act that enfranchised the middle class (although not the lower working class which would have to wait until 1867, IIRC). So to clear confusion, since commoners is not shown as a faction listed there, I'm assuming traders is representative of the old Commons.
Finally, in 18th century Great Britain, the prime minister is the head of government while the monarch is the head of state. While the prime minister usually (though not always in that time) must retain confidence of the Parliament in order to remain in office, the Sovereign at that time is still powerful and can dismiss the prime minster and his government (William IV, who reigned from 1830 to 1837, was the last British monarch to dismiss the prime minister and to appoint new one to the contrary of Parliament's wish), although his powers is much restrained compared to the absolute monarch. So the prime minister must also retain confidence of the monarch (meaning, in theory, you in game).
So, the question is, will prime minister and the cabinet figures into the constitutional monarchy or in the Parliament in general in this game? There has been no mention of this concept so it's curious how to account for missing prime minister. Is there something to represent that office or the cabinet?
I don't know so much about the 18th century, but at the start of the game the Commons isn't just Traders. In addition to the borough representatives, there are the knights of the shires who are there to represent the wealthy non-noble landowners (although it was possible to for kings to stuff this body with placemen as in the Long Parliament of 1406). I don't see a Magna Mundi faction that fits this group, though.

will hungary be an elective monarchy in a personal union with austria until 1687?
Why does feudal and elective monarchy have tricameral parliaments?
Is there going to be any changes in relations between countries in a personal union, more types of unions, or something else?
Universal male suffrage seems a bit anachronistic. Even in the US and France, it did not appear within the time period of the game.

From Manipur to Milan, each nation has a story to tell.
The Norweigian Constitution of 17th of May, 1814 was also relatively free for its time (not by ours, of course): http://www.stortinget.no/no/Storting...oven-fra-1814/
If you look at §50 you can see that in order to vote you need to:
0) Be a citizen of over 25 years of age and have lived in the country for over 5 years
And either of the 3 below:
1) Be or have been a civil servant
2) Own land or have leased land for more than 5 years
3) Own estate in a chartered town with a value of over 300 thaler (Which I assume mustn't have been too much at the time following the bankruptcy and devalued currency)
Actually it was from 1570. In the Treaty of Speyer János II gave up his claims on Hungary and accepted the Habsburg rule over Hungary in exchange for keeping sovereignty over Transylvania. From that date there were no question about the legal claims of the Habsburgs over Hungary, and any Hungarian attempt starting from there has to be considered as revolution and separatist movement. The nobles were no influence on the person of the ruler.
For the game yes, i would like to see how are you going to deal with that. Because wastern parts of Hungary, including Croatia accepted Habsburgs in 1526./1527. But there was no rule of primogeniture until 1687. Until then Hungarian and Croatian parliaments had the right to elect (after the kings death) a new king that was memeber of house of Habsburg.
Parliaments had no rights to elect their rulers in Hungary. Even if they would have de jure the right, de facto they never had a choice but elect the actual Habsburg ruler.
In the game the Habsburg takeover happens like this:
After the death of Lajos II, the Hungarian Succession War begins (Austria vs. Hungary). In this war, Austria immediately gains Croatian and western Hungarian provinces (supporters of Ferdinand), and core on all provinces of Hungary. With several scenarios, Austria slowly annexes Hungarian provinces until 1541 when the Ottomans conquer Buda. At this part Hungary is separated to 3 parts: Ottoman occupation, Western Hungary (Austria in the game) and Eastern Hungary (IG: Hungary). This situation remains still until 1570 when Austria loses its cores on the remaining Hungarian regions and Hungary turns into Transylvania.
The U.S. Constitution originally did not specify who would have rights to vote. Some states did not even limit it to whites, though all of them restricted it to males. Most, if not all, states required ownership of land as a qualification; this was gradually phased out starting around 1800, but was not completed until at least the 1840s (see the Dorr Rebellion in Rhode Island).

Little Snitch works in the background. You do train it to know what you will allow but that is not a difficult chore.
I would like to know what was planned to send out but when I asked about that, it was pointed out that it was probably coded anyway and I still wouldn't know was was being sent. I think the company that makes Little Snitch were correct.
This is an excellent program and well worth the price.

Dalmatian Coast Restaurants
2 Sv. Roka
Korčula Town , Korčula
Croatia 20260
Tel: 385 20 711 253
The oldest family-run restaurant in Korčula is still a place where locals gather at shellacked picnic tables to devour mussels dripping with oil, garlic, parsley, and white wine. A high-ceilinged, open-air dining room located inside a 200-year-old stone building within the city walls, Adio Mare has stuck to its beliefs even as the lines outside grow increasingly long: no reservations, fair prices, and delectable food.
Dinner nightly: 5 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Korčula Town , Korčula
Croatia 20260
Tel: 385 20 711 055
This Korčula sweet shop brims with candies, local wines, and liqueurs. The cookies, though, merit many returns. Try a klasun, filled with walnut cream; a handful of amaretti, made with almonds, eggs, sugar, orange, lemon, and rose brandy; or some cukarini, sweet biscuits traditionally dipped in wine. But you need to arrive early or you'll wind up waiting: Owner Smiljana Matijaca seemingly cooks nonstop, but still manages to sell out by midday and then reopens at night after baking another batch.
Closed Saturday. Open 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
34 Vladimira Nazora
Vis Town , Vis
Croatia 21480
Tel: 385 21 711 755
Vis, 28 miles into the Adriatic from the nearest coast, feels more secluded than its sister islands. Kaliopa echoes this sensibility: Hidden in a garden next to an old villa by the sea, it isn't a place you're likely to stumble upon. The owner, Goran Pecarevic, doesn't like crowds, either; in fact, he says his goal is to get smaller and smaller until he's serving only himself. Metaphysical puzzles aside, the food is delicious. Order a bottle of island-made red Plavac Mali, and start with smoked-fish soup or risotto with mussels and shrimp; next tuck into the tuna carpaccio slathered in domestic olive oil and sprinkled with capers. With only 50 seats outside, reservations are essential.
Dinner nightly: 5 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Donji Humac
Croatia 21423
Tel: 385 21 647 707
You know the food is good when the mix of customers includes white-dusted workmen from Brač's stone quarries and rich yachties who venture off the boat to look for this place on the road between Supetar and Bol. What's the attraction? The lamb: Brač has little grass, so its sheep feed on herbs such as sage and rosemary, dusted with sea salt. When cooked on the spit, those herbal flavors luxuriate with the meat's juices. The veal here is also scrumptious, slow-roasted under a peka, a traditional bell-like cover that acts as a primitive convection oven to keep the meat moist. The indoor dining room has a cafeteria feel, so move to the terrace, with its views of rolling, rocky hills.
Lunch and dinner daily: 10 a.m. to 12 a.m.
20 Ciril-Metodova
Croatia 21000
Tel: 385 21 486 675
You can get a decent meal at the traditional, touristic restaurants in Split's Old Town. But Labirint, hidden on a narrow lane past Trg Gaje Bulata across from Old Town's bustling Marmontova Street, is where the locals go. Labirint's raison d'être is beef, serving arguably the region's best steaks. Our pick: the 23-ounce T-bone served with grilled vegetables and potato croquettes, a great antidote to all the fish you've been eating.
Open daily noon to midnight.
1 Petar Hektorovića
Hvar Town , Hvar
Croatia 21450
Tel: 385 21 741 400
Italians love Hvar, and they especially love Luna—one of the few places on the island that might be described as glam. Owner Tomislav Rudan understands that visitors want a break from the standard fare and rustic ambience, so he serves dishes such as smoked salmon, shrimp gazpacho, and beef tenderloin with a truffle cream and mushroom sauce—a welcome break from picking tiny bones out of your teeth (fish in Croatia is rarely filleted). Located in the center of town, the restaurant has a dining room with a swirl of quirky paintings and a moon-shaped rooftop terrace. You'll hear a babble of languages and see many of the same good-looking folks at Carpe Diem later that night.
Closed November to March. Lunch and dinner.
28 Pupnat
Pupnat , Korčula
Tel: 385 20 717 109
Pupnat is a small village in Korčula's hills, but make the 15-minute drive from Korčula Town for what might be your crowning meal in Dalmatia. The operative word here is homemade: Everything from cured meats to pasta to cheese comes from the family's land. After enjoying a huge appetizer plate loaded with eggplant pâté, liver pâté, pancetta, sausage, goat cheese, and wild capers, move on to the goat-cheese ravioli, and finish off with pastries and juniper or rosemary sorbet. Be sure to check out the smokehouse, hanging with dozens of legs of pršut. A bottle of herb rakija —Croatian grappa—sits on each table along with a clutch of other liqueurs (mandarin, wild cherry, apricot, fig, rose petal, carob). Best assign a designated driver.
10 Kraj Svete Marije
Croatia 21000
Tel: 385 91 405 6666
Savvy globe trekkers know that to find a good seafood restaurant you head for the local fish market. Split's market is worth a wander, with its singing, haggling, and bantering Croats selling lobsters, eels, and squid ink. While Nostromo isn't quite on the water itself, it attracts Split's upper echelon in an wood-bedecked dining room in the fish market that feels like a yacht's galley. The chefs know to leave well enough alone, using a minimum of spices and sauces to let the flavor of the fish come through. Start with a plate of local oysters before diving into the Nostromo plate, which includes sautéed shrimp, squid, mussels, scallops, and clams tossed with olive oil and parsley.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily: 6 a.m. to 12 a.m.
8 Don Cvjetka Marasovića
Vis Town , Vis
Croatia 21480
Tel: 385 21 711 575
Tucked away in an alley in the neighborhood of Kut, Pojoda is renowned for its full-bodied interpretations of ancient recipes. Our recommendation: the brodetto, a traditional stew made with tomatoes, wine, olive oil, monkfish, and lobster. Why is it so good? We don't know: When we asked owner and head chef Zoran Brajčić for the recipe, he said, "Nobody can imitate the dish. Even if you know the ingredients, how can you know how big my pinch is? I've got big hands." Couple the brodetto with a bottle of local Vugava white wine.
Lunch and dinner daily: 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.
Hvar Town , Hvar
Croatia 21450
Tel: 385 21 74 28 50
The owners of the increasing number of impossibly expensive yachts bobbing just off Hvar are lured onto land by this spot in Groda, Hvar town's oldest neighborhood. It's not the simple interior of wooden tables that does it, brightened as it is by the paintings of one of the owners. It's the soup, called gregada, so thick you need a fork and spoon to eat it. Originally a poor man's dish using boiled whitefish, potatoes, onions, and wine, here it's classed up with John Dory and sea bass. As often as not, when customers order something besides the gregada, they'll change their minds when a bubbling bowl wafts by, leaking the smell of garlic and wine.
Open daily: 12 p.m. to 12 a.m. No lunch on Sunday.
Mekićevica Bay
Croatia 21450
Tel: 385 91 383 5160
Situated in an idyllic bay, Robinson is about a 30-minute walk along the beach east of Hvar Town's main harbor (after leaving the sidewalk near Pokonji dol Bay, continue on an easy path until you reach Mekićevica Bay). When you arrive—look for a weathered wood sign shaped like a fish—ask the owner, Domagoj Vekić, what's available that day. Chances are he will rattle off a round of delectable choices such as octopus salad, spit-roasted shrimp covered with cheese and served with eggplant, marinated sardines, and fish stew made with tomatoes and garlic. If your choice is the catch of the day, Domagoj will clean the fish from a stone perch above the water and take it back to his kitchen hut to grill. Guests relax on the bleached-white stone beach until lunch is ready. Afterwards, take a dip in the impossibly clear waters. Because the restaurant is open odd days, it's best to call ahead before making the trek down the beach.
Lunch only: 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Catelynn and Tyler have been together and inseparable since they were in seventh grade, but now the 'Teen Mom' couple — who is getting married in July — are living thousands of miles apart.
Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baliterra captured viewers' hearts as the so-in-love couple on 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom — and made their love official with an engagement in 2010. But now, Tyler has decided to move thousands of miles away to New Orleans, leaving Catelynn alone in Michigan.
Catelynn is currently enrolled in Baker College in Michigan, pursuing a degree in social work, but Tyler has dreams of his own.
On Oct. 22, Tyler took off on a plane to New Orleans, which he said has a "thriving film scene" — he wants to be an actor. "It's time to focus on my dreams," he told InTouch magazine.
Although Catelynn was sad to see her fiance go, she is more than willing to support him in his journey.
"I love him, and I need to stand by him." she told the magazine.
They're now living far apart, but the couple insists they're stronger than ever.
"It's not like we're going to go out and cheat on each other. We're not like that," Catelynn said. And Tyler agrees. "[Leaving] was emotional. We're two peas in a pod," he added.
With a love as strong as these two, we're sure they'll make it through stronger than ever!
What do YOU think of Catelynn and Tyler being apart HollyMoms?

Thanks for your write-up. I would also like to remark that the first thing you will need to do is verify if you really need credit restoration. To do that you will have to get your hands on a replica of your credit score. That should really not be difficult, considering that the government makes it necessary that you are allowed to receive one cost-free copy of your actual credit report yearly. You just have to inquire the right persons. You can either look into the website for that Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the main credit agencies right away

woah. pretty harsh 'sugar'. they've been through so much and they're so strong. TOGETHER. i think they make a great couple and this proves it. catelynns doing a degree, how is she not clever? not dissing tyler but hes going to try to persue a career in acting? its quite funny how youre saying shes meddling, yet you think you deserve to meddle in their relationship? let them be!

Kids grow and evolve. These two have grown apart. Tyler has higher aspirations than catelyn. He is much smarter than she is and wants to do many things. The reason they gave the baby up was because they (or he) weren't ready to raise a child. He said that it was the best choice for all. He is correct. He said he wanted to live the normal life of a young man. Unfortunately, he has outgrown her. She needs to get a life. I'm tired of her constant reminders of Carly (guilt trip). Let it be. Let her parents live their lives without the constant meddling. They seem too polite to tell her esp. that they would prefer as little contact as possible. This constant intrusion must be tiresome for Carly's parents. Give it a long rest. Tyler, your sister is correct. Catelyn needs to quit being so clingy. Tyler go and do your own thing and don't feel guilty. Do not get married, you are still too young and there is so much life you need to live without c. If you don't set yourself free you will regret it the rest of your life. Face it, you don't love her anymore, you feel sorry for her. Catelyn is not going to let go. Please move to New Orleans. Alone.

The adoptive parents of Carly knew very well that it was an OPEN adoption. Catelynn is as mature as Tyler is. In fact, ultimately, it was Catelynn's decision to give Carly a better life than she could, at that time. All Tyler could do is give an opinion. Catelynn could have left Tyler NO CHOICE and kept Carly, but, she was way more mature and SELFLESS than 99% of teenagers and did the right thing, for Carly. Have you ever given up a child in selflessness? Do you, or could you even begin to know how it feels? All you see is an extremely edited version of a young couple trying to LIVE life, as well as they can in this hard as hell world and you think you have enough insight on their lives to make such a harsh statement? You need to do some soul searching, my friend and get back to the human part of you who is suppose to love your fellow human. PEACE.

Lots of snot at Brighton Science Festival!
Snot … what's it all about? That was the main topic of the BSI stand at the recent Bright Sparks weekend held by
Brighton Science Festival
. This family-fun event saw a plethora of different science organisations descend on Brighton to spread the love of science through an action-packed two days of demos and hands-on activities. Over 2,600 people attended over the course of the two-day event.
We took our "
Secret Life of Snot
" activity along with our giant nose to discuss to how we make snot, what snot does and why your snot changes colour when you're ill. Kids had the opportunity to investigate what was in our giant model nose … finds included epithelial cells, goblet cells and even the odd virus or bacterium! As you can see from the photo, the nose proved very popular. We also had our own snot-making factory on the go, with kids making bags of fake snot of various shades of green using our proven snot recipe. Lots of immunology was discussed with both the kids and the parents and we left satisfied that we had spread knowledge about the wonder of snot to the people of Brighton!

Arizona Diamondbacks
ESPN insider: D-backs' Archie Bradley, Braden Shipley among baseball's top 25 prospects
The 2014 season has not gone according to plan thus far for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Over the first two months of the campaign, the D-backs have been plagued by both inconsistent play and notable injuries to key players.
But while Arizona's less-than-stellar 23-36 record might not instill confidence within its fan base, ESPN baseball analyst Keith Law was more than happy to bring a little cheer to the Valley faithful with his updated top 25 prospects rankings.
In an ESPN insider piece released this weekend, Law included Arizona pitching prospects Archie Bradley and Braden Shipley on his esteemed list.
In fact, the D-backs were one of only five organizations -- the others being the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Houston Astros and Minnesota Twins -- to have more than one prospect ranked.
Bradley, the team's No. 7 overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft, has had a rough go of it this season in Triple-A Reno. The Oklahoma native had a 1-4 record with 23 strikeouts in five starts with a 5.18 ERA before being forced to the Aces' seven-day disabled list in late April with an elbow injury.
The 21-year-old has not made a return to the mound since his stint on the DL, however he has made progress in his rehabilitation program.
12. Archie Bradley | RHP | Arizona Diamondbacks (age 21)
Current level: Triple-A (Reno)
Preseason ranking: 9Bradley probably would be in the majors by now had he not been slowed by an elbow injury that has cost him a month already and may not see him back in a game until mid-June.
He remains among the game's best pitching prospects despite his high ERA in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, making four of his five starts so far in terrible pitchers' parks.
Like Bradley, Shipley is not a first-timer on Law's list, though his progress in Low-A South Bend led to ESPN analyst moving him up the rankings.
The organization's first-round selection last June, Shipley has been impressive so far in 2014, going 4-2 with a 3.74 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 41 strikeouts in the Midwest League.
23. Braden Shipley | RHP | Arizona (age 22)
Current level: Low Class A (South Bend)
Preseason ranking: 25Shipley got a slightly late start after a brief elbow scare of his own, but he's been solid so far in low A, showing three above-average pitches at times with excellent control, walking two or fewer batters in every start but one so far. He's too advanced for low A, but the D-backs may be trying to keep him out of the hitter-friendly Cal League, or to minimize any eventual stay there.
While the present might not seem extremely bright, it's comforting to know the organization possesses potential pieces to build toward a better future. And based on Law's rankings, the cupboard certainly isn't bear for the D-backs when it comes to pitching talent.

Public apologies come easier these days. Forgiveness doesn't.
Public figures from Arnold Schwarzenegger to LeBron James to Newt Gingrich to Oprah are apologizing. So many mea culpas create an opportunity to better define forgiveness.
More public figures these days seem comfortable in offering apologies, either for their own misdeeds or on behalf of an entire group. But while owning up to past wrongs may be more common, what of forgiveness from those wronged?
Few Japanese, for example, have yet to forgive the Tokyo Electric Power Co. for not better preparing for the March 11 tsunami that knocked out the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Yet the TEPCO president, Masataka Shimizu, has made many personal apologies to refugees from that nuclear disaster. And he promises to make amends and improve safety in other plants.
Basketball giant LeBron James just apologized to former Cleveland fans over his self-centered departure last year to the Miami Heat. But he didn't appear to win back many fans.
Former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted Feb. 11, reportedly plans to apologize for his actions. He may claim only that he took "bad advice" from aides in suppressing dissent. Such a limited admission of responsibility probably won't qualify for leniency in Egyptian eyes.
BP chief executive Robert Dudley recently said he was sorry for the giant oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico last year. He also detailed the steps aimed at earning back the trust of government and the rest of the oil industry, such as tougher rules on drilling. Critics and many victims still aren't satisfied.

I was into boxing at a very young age. When I got older I went to football camp and found out that I had good speed so I began to focus more on football. Football requires you to lift heavy weights which isn't good for boxing skills so eventually I became 100% focused on football.
Plus boxing don't give athletic scholarships. But looking back as much as I follow the sport and watch old film, i wish i stuck with it. Last edited by Mr 117-111; 06-03-2012 at 09:04 PM. |

Never fought in boxing. I've sparred and trained quite a lot though, but most of my time was consumed by wrestling where i was considered elite for my age.
Now I'm just too old, too much of a puss and too comfortable to give competitive boxing a go. I'll gladly be a keyboard warrior for now. |

Future Betting Lines
The Pittsburgh Steelers hadn't even finished off their rally to beat the Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII when online sportsbooks had opened the Patriots as favorites to win Super Bowl XLIV.
Future betting (aka betting on futures) such as Who will win the Super Bowl have grown in popularity in recent years. And it's not just in football, although preseason future bets on which team will win the AFC East, who will win the BCS College Football Championship and other fun pigskin bets are in vogue.
Just about every sport offers you the chance to get great longshot odds in predicting its next champion. Soon after the Detroit Red Wings won the 2008 Stanley Cup, they were installed as favorites to win again in 2009. Adding Marian Hossa to the roster only helped cement that opinion.
The Boston Celtics remained the top choice in NBA future odds lists long after their 2008 celebration was over. And the Yankees moved quickly to the top of the World Series odds list after their raids in free agency, even though the defending champion Phillies were getting the job done (the Phils were at 12/1 in January).
Why do people bet on futures? Is it a good idea?
Sports fans like the notion of being smarter than everyone else almost as much as they like the idea of winning money. So being able to pick the Super Bowl winner way back in August makes you the smartest handicapper in town.
You can also get tremendous longshot odds on future bets if you are clever or lucky. Recall the 1999 St. Louis Rams, who started off as 300-1 underdogs on Super Bowl future bets. What a nice payoff for bettors who put a few bucks down on that.
The problem with future betting is that it takes six months or longer to grade your bet. That's a long time to have a part of betting bankroll locked into a bet. But if you pick a small amount as future betting fun money, it can produce nice profits for you.
And the best thing about prop bets and future bets is that different sportsbooks offer a unique set of betting options. So you can find something interesting and you can compare odds to get the best deal.

Autopsy results show he died of a heart attack and Cameron county constables are identifying the man as 74 year-old Raul Gonzalez of Brownsville. The fisherman was reported missing by the captain of the Matilda Tower ship about a week ago. Four hours later, the U.S. Coast Guard found the man's body and the FBI says their investigation continues.

NBC NATIONAL NEWS — The defense has rested in the perjury trial of former Major League Baseball pitcher Roger Clemens.
After calling their final witness, the defense rested without Clemens taking the witness stand.
Clemens is charged with perjury, making false statements and obstruction of justice for denying at a 2008 Congressional Hearing that he used steroids or human growth hormones.
Closing arguments are expected to begin on Tuesday.

You and Me Ch.1I walk through the crowded lobby, searching. I am careful not to come to close to other people. I can see the two Agents following me, but I don't let them know I am onto them.I have to play it cool, making sure they can see me, but making sure that they don't know that I know they are there. My eyes glance over everyone, taking in every detail. A little boy, picking his nose, two people shooting each other flirty glances. I keep searching, and then I see you. My whole face lights up.You see me too, and you smile. You are not looking at me, but I know the angelic smile is for me. You gesture for me to follow you, and then make your way up the bust staircase to your left. I follow you at a discreet distance, still taking in everything. I know the Agents me up, but I force myself not to rush.I squish myself through the unsuspecting people, easily weaving a path. You pause at the door to floor three, waiting for it to open from the other side. It opens, and I see the pale and fragile,
Young At HeartThere was something very wrong with Mackenzie Grace Claire. She was absent from school at least once a week, never partook in any physical activity and always seemed to look sicker every time I saw her. At first I didn't pay any heed to it because she was just some lowly, insignificant person but the more I watched her, the more beautiful she became in my eyes. It wasn't just how she looked but the way she acted; gentle and familiar. She would caress the faces of small children that had fallen over and hurt themselves. I saw her almost every day after school picking flowers around the park a few streets away from my home. She was just so small and frail. Pale skin; shimmering, long, dark brown curls and big blue eyes filled with a life time's worth of knowledge for a sixteen year old. In my eyes she looked almost perfect but she was, in her eyes, far from it.At first, all I noticed was her, but then I started to see the way people were around her as well. No one talked to h

Big NewsThe sun warmed the ground before me and the light breeze tossed my hair gently around as I walked quickly in the school gates, a spring in my step. I couldn't wait to find Sam and tell her my news. I turned slightly and practically skipped to where we usually sat, a place we called 'The Spot'. Original what? Anyway, as I rounded the corner with a massive smile on my face, a stunning sight awaited me. Stunning and scary. I stopped dead and the smile fell quickly from my face. My bag dropped from my shoulder and I rushed over to Sam who was surrounded by our friends, crying.This wouldn't have been so scary apart from the fact that Sam never cried. Ever. Jen sat with her arms around Sam and she too was crying. That was even scarier. Jen was the kind of person who would go and punch the person who made her friend cry, not sit here and cry with them. I knelt down in front of Sam and put my hands on her knees, both to reassure her and to keep me from falling over. I looked deep into h
Illiera Ch3THREEWe finally got to school after several long arguments. Julian had wanted me to stay home because of my arm. I, however, argued that my arm was fine. It wasn't, obviously, but I knew that if I had to stay home today I would go crazy just sitting around having nothing to do. Yes, reading could keep me entertained for a while, but my over-active mind would only stay distracted for so long, and there were some things that I did not want to think about at the moment.Jules had argued with me while he ate breakfast (he didn't want me to eat for fear hat I would puke it all up) and while he cleaned my blood of the tiles. He wouldn't start the car (a flashy, red, BMW M3) for several minutes, while we fought. He was still trying to get me to stay home as we turned into the school's driveway. I just ignored him, and the read the large sign out the front, just as I did every morning.Kammer State High SchoolEst. since 1923"Without knowledge, life is meaningless"Kammer S.H.S wa
You and Me Ch.2We sit in silence on the large plane. We have wide first class seats, and even though we know there is no way they could have followed us onto the plane, we are tense. It was a 24hr flight, and we only have an hour to go. I am looking forward to, and dreading, the landing.I am glad to be landing, simply because I was bored. After all the adrenalin, I had slept for the first 10 hrs, of the flight, then, for the rest, I had just been sitting there. I am dreading the landing because I know that we will have to act normal. We have to pretend, that in a few hours, we will be relaxing in a spa, or eating in a fancy five star restaurant, not fighting, once again, for our lives.The minutes tick by with agonising slowness. The knowledge that our enemy will probably be waiting only make time go slower. As we finally touch down, I am abruptly impatient to be out of here. I jump out of my seat and you grab my arm to stop me from rushing past everyone.I impatiently tap my foot and grumble to mys

Half-Life: Dreamcast is a PC port of the unreleased Sega Dreamcast console version of Half-Life.
Jun 27th, 2012 0 people agree 1 person doesn't
Well this is a good PC port, but if you're expecting a significant difference between this and the retail/steam half-life, you might be dissapointed.
In my opinion, the original models and textures are fine, and these new ones aren't really better.
However if you are just curious as to how the dreamcast version looks like, this is as good as half-life and is relatively bug-free.

Old good gameplay I used to from my favorite console. Play it with fire!
Jan 24th, 2012 0 people agree 0 people don't
The "Dreamcast" port of Half-Life featured a lot of stuff (textures, graphics, etc.) not found on the other ports. And it was almost lost in obscurity if not for this port.
Though it might not be perfect, a few flaws here and there; nothing a few patches cannot solve. :-)
Very much appreciate you working on this one and I hope you continue to improve on it.
Jan 22nd, 2012 0 people agree 2 people don't
Fun as hell, just like the original Half-Life. However, changes weren't as noticeable as expected.

Anime Villains, we love em and we hate em, but most importantly we know them because they can be remembered for their asshole natures, so thats why Im going to make a list of my top 20 Anime Villains, why Top 20? Because a Top Ten is too damn short, so lets begin the Top 20 Anime Villains.
20. Itachi from Naruto, now I know a lot of people will be upset hes so damn low, but to be fair he lost points in Shippuden, another ruined named thanks to Kishimoto. Itachi was bad, he was infamous for killing his whole family and had the incredible skills to back up such infamy, he was calm, smart and had some pretty broken moves, and was a major role in the series up until his unsightly and unneeded death. He will be missed
19. Rokuda Mukuro from Hitman Reborn, Mukuro was basically Lex Luthor but as an anime character, mostly brains and not so much brawn, true he was somewhat strong but he wasnt say as strong as other villains this list will contains, but he makes the list simply for his smug attitude, his ability to mind fuck people and for being a heavy planner.
18. Souther from Hokuto No Ken/Fist Of The North Star, Souther was one of the many assholes that Hokuto No Ken gave us, much like Ambia and Jagi, but he makes this list for two reasons, 1 he actually beat Kenshiro in one fight, a feat thats nearly impossible and 2 he is the cause of one of the saddest scenes in an anime, the death of Shuu, think about it, he cut Shuus legs open, forced him to climb a 200+ foot Pyramid carrying a 2-3 ton stone, forcing little kids and women to watch, and saying if Shuu doesnt place the stone theyll die. To add to the ass he kills Shuu after he does reach the top only to have his blood adorn the pyramid. You dont get much more asshole then Souther.
17. The Death Note, no not Light, the Death Note itself, think about it, with this book you become Kira, and can kill anyone you wanted, everyone has someone they want to kill, and pent up rage, this Note uses that, first it starts with 1, then 2, then more and more until you kill everyone. Its power drives men mad, thats why it has a place in this countdown.
16. Elder Toguro from Yu Yu Hakusho, This is the smaller one for those who kept confusing them, Elder Toguro was plain and simply a smug bastard who you wanted dead, but couldnt because hes hard to kill, he can move his organs wherever he pleased and could heal himself and manipulate his body into a weapon, he was cruel, heartless and more importantly he knew how to get into peoples heads.
15. Raoh from Hokuto No ken/First Of The North Star, hes one of the cases of Good characters gone bad, Raoh is somewhat jealous of Kenshiro being made the Successor of the Fist of the North Star, which he wanted to use to conquer the heavens themselves, Raoh was always strong, even as a child he climbed up a mountain single handed with his brother in the other arm. As an adult he became Ken-Oh and started to take over the Armageddon world and even at one point wanted to kill his brother Toki. Though a tough call due to his somewhat honorable nature he still makes this villain countdown
14. Freiza from Dragonball Z, now Freiza makes this list for being notorious as the first True Villain of the series, he was feared by many, destroyed planets with his finger, and was all around scary when he was first introduced to us. His forms easily brought us fear as he did terrible things each and every transformation did something to prove his evil, his first form impaled Krillin and beat Gohan, his third nearly killed Piccolo and his final form killed Dende, Krilln, Vegeta, almost killed Piccolo again and destroyed Namek. He was truly one evil bastard.
13. Toguro, yes the Muscle one. He was one of the greatest villains of the series, he was a dark figure that sent chills when you saw him, he was badass, beheading a man with a kick, blowing ones head off with his middle finger and he single handedly killed an entire team of demons alone with less then half his strength. His goal was to actually find a challenge because he was so powerful, forcing Yusuke to push himself well and beyond anything he imagined, and even after he died he personally asked for the worst form of torment Spirit World could give, Toguro has a wallet that reads Badass.
12. Lucci from One Piece, of all the One Piece Villains Lucci is one of the best, he was cold, emotionless and best of all didnt need some overpowered Devil Fruit, all he could do was change into a Leopard yet still kicked ass, the man may be on the Good Guy Side but he killed 500 hostages just to kill his target, and not to mention made Luffy fight to near death, plus he was one well dressed mother fucker, dressed to kill I guess.
11. Aizen from Bleach, now if anyone deserves a spot in this countdown Aizen does, why? Because he is one overly planning, cunning and confident mother fucker in the series, he planned his own death, was secretly working behind everyones backs for possibly centuries betraying many and plotting too often, and even the most cunning of ideas are mere whims to him, not to mention he had power, possibly on par with the leader of the 13 Captains himself, and thats without showing his Bankai, you know you want more Aizen.
10. Griffith from Berserk, talk about A-class asshole, kills most of his trusted and loyal soldiers, took out his closest friends eye and his arm, raped another friend and latter best friends lover, thus deforming the unborn child with his demonic powers and for what? Some fancy demonic powers. Now true Griffith SEEMED good, but everyone missed the signs, he killed any he thought needed to be killed, or those or tried killing him, he worked in the shadows and was already one clever and naughty bastard, and hes only number 10 people
9. Gantz from Gantz, Okay this may be a stretch and I never really SAW the series or read the Manga but from what I can tell from Gantz the Abridged series he tops Griffith is assholeness, he takes those that died, and forces them to fight Aliens, doesnt give them any other reason other then the fact hell kill you if you dont, so its basically Kill or Be Killed yeah doesnt sound like a real nice
8. Naraku from Inuyasha, this bastard gets high points for being the stingiest bastard EVER, seriously almost nothing could kill him, and he was one evil bastard making puppets of the dead, making demonic servants to do his bidding, he did so much itd take a while to count, but he makes a very big impact in the anime world for being a target to so many yet living for so long. Sometimes being stubborn works kids.
7. Any Diclous from Elfein Lied, okay yes I spelt it wrong and maybe I never saw the series but from what I can tell theyre all heartless bastards that want to kill anything that lives, just because they got picked on as kids, big fucking whoop, no need to want everything dead.
6. Crocodile from One Piece, now he HAD to make it no matter what, Croc was one badass heartless mother fucker, he mixed Lex Luthor, Sandman and Captain Hook if he was an anime character and mixed it all into one. He was cunning, forcing Over a Million people to fight in a civil war, putting people in nearly impossible situations to escape and making so many people miserable. Not to mention he beat Luffy not once, but Twice, something no other villain has yet to do in the series, and without even being around them improved the One Piece fighters a lot, simply by having good henchman choice. Sadly he doesnt make top 5, but hes close.
5. Kid Buu from DBZ, now this DBZ villain gets high on the list because hes simply a beast, he doesnt have a mind, hes only a weapon to kill, and one that did his job well, he was overly powerful, could learn and adapt moves, was nearly impossible to kill and was creepy with his evil mindless laugh and those weird eyes. A threat to the universe he could have easily destroyed it had Goku not destroyed him.
4. The Milfiore family from Hitman Reborn, now of all anime factions Id say this is one of the largest, and pretty powerful, even managing to kill Tsunas older self, bringing the World to his knees and brought the future lives of the Vongola family members to ruins, and then some, true they may be split themselves but the true Milfore rules with one badass Iron first.
3. The Dark Gundam from G Gundam, much like the Death Note the Dark Gundam seemed to have a mind of its own, taking control of many with its promises of power, even someone as welled trained as Master Asia was swayed by it, and to kill it every surviving Gundam in the series pulled together to destroy it, now when you need at least 20 Gundams to kill 1, you KNOW you have something badass.
2. The World Government from One Piece, yes another faction, I know this was supposed to be a single list but this isnt something taken lightly, the World Government represents the American government as is (dont shout Im Born and breed here too), cruel, misplaced honor, greedy, corrupt, selfish and looks away from true pain to save face value, they let slavery go on as a daily thing, dont care for the very nations aligned with them and all in all are just Dictators that dont get up unless someone goes against them.
And the Number 1 Villain in anime goes to
The Earl Of Millennium from D. Gray Man, this is by far the biggest bastard that every lived, by far. Why does he make number 1? Simply because his doucheness, he comes to people who lost loved ones, tells them he can bring them back, only to have those loved ones he brings back kill those who call them back and wear their skin and become Akuma, his slaves that he uses as weapons to kill any. He doesnt care who he kills, men, women, children, old ladies, he doesnt give a rats ass he just kills them keeping his big ass creepy grin on his face. To make matters worse he manipulates as many humans as he needs to help him in murdering others so he can have an Akuma army. Earl of Millennium you are by far the Biggest Douche in the Universe, screw Al Khan and that fake Psychic you are douche, ass, evil personified.
