Endless Chaos Overview
Endless Chaos is a fantasy MMORPG set in the conflicted world of Ferion where three distinct races known as the Kaal, Madoch, and Ohmron are attempting to destroy each other by any means. The Kaal are daemons of nature who draw on the power of the daemon sealed deep within. Madoch are a breed of humans that have limbs replaced with machines. The Ohmron are pure energy manifested by a mystical stone called capturer. Players enter the mystical nation as a lost soul sent by the Gods to become a hero and end the war. Each hero goes on a journey through the completion of various story based quests. Players have the option of choosing good or evil actions to perform complicating the missions. Fight off ferocious mutated monsters in the wilderness and collect useful items by exploring new areas. All of the races are at war so players can go head to head in PvP battles. Winning fights earn a kill points and boost a player's rank. Invite friends to join as your allies for an advantage in combat. Similar to Dawn of Dragons Endless Chaos incorporates traditional fantasy elements. The text turn based battles are slightly animated giving it an edge on more popular games like Mafia Wars. The three basic classes are:
Warrior – A noble class with great strength. They are powerful when trained and armed.
Ranger – Skilled archers. Possess the ability to strike fatal blows at opponents from a distance using composite bows.
Mystic – This class varies with races. They use magic staffs to cast deadly spells on enemies.

By Ange Perdu
Endless Chaos is real-time text based fantasy MMORPG set in the Kingdom of Ferion where the Kaal, Madoch, and Ohmron races are at war. Players step into the role of a lost soul sent by God to end the constant turmoil in the land. In order to save the world players must transform their character into a powerful warrior. Complete quests taking the honorable or more sinister route. Explore deep into the treacherous woods slaying mutated beasts. Search for useful items. Fight in challenging PvP battles earning a high kill score. Learn menacing special moves. Buy weapons, armor, and potions to assist in combat. Invite friends to join as allies and share rare skills. Move up in PvP rank and reclaim Ferion.
Treacherous Woods to Sand Dunes, the Gameplay
The gameplay in Endless Chaos consists of quests, exploring, monster hunting, and PvP battles. Players have a series of challenging quests to complete in order to progress in the game. There is interesting dialogue and in-depth story line that players can follow in each quest. Descriptions of brutal invasions or your character stumbling into a dangerous run-in appear. Players have two action options to begin the task. Each hero can choose the path of good or evil while performing story quests. This feature varies the quests making some more challenging than others depending on your choice. Decide to defeat or kill rival factions and whether to save or let die those in need. Some quests involve finding special items through exploring, hunting down specific monsters like the gray wolf that lurks through the treacherous woods preying on travelers, or winning a PvP battle. Clicking search in the explore area allow players to find various useful items like sapwood, tree root, toadstool, herbs, stamina vials, mysterious liquid, and tiger eyes. Finding items help accomplish quests and aid in spell casting. Entering the battle monster tab will display the local beasts lurking in the perimeter. Players can slay these creatures for XP, gold, and items that can be used or sold later. Fight monsters like the Ursochs half robotic grizzly bears or the Lezardos cold blooded reptiles that spit poisonous venom at enemies. As new areas unlock higher difficulty beasts appear. A map of the wilderness allows players to instantly transport to new locations in the land where they can accomplish tasks and battle other players.
PvP Battles & Kill Scores
When visiting any area in Endless Chaos players can click the PvP battle tab and see a list of available players to fight. All battles are text turn based with a small amount of animation tossed into the mix. Frozen characters slide across the platform bumping into their opponent. Occasionally a few streaks of magic sparkle but for the most part it's pretty bland. The command bar at the bottom of the screen allows users to choose to attack, use a skill learned, use an item, or flee. Items usually consist of health, magic, or speed potions. If a player decides to flee in the midst of combat they lose their gold. One of the most addicting features in the game is the kill score ranking system. Every victorious PvP battle is rewarded with kill points and gold. Kill points add to your kill score and is visible for all to see. Leveling up and boosting your kill score is essential for advancing in the game. Every hero starts out with the PvP rank of Regulus and can work their way up to the elite Capella. Players can attack any other player as long as they have enough stamina which serves as energy in Endless Chaos to wage war.
Art and Science of War with Allies
In Endless Chaos players' heroes can learn unique skills from Sage the Wise in the training section. These special abilities vary depending on race and class. Players can master moves like the impulsive charge, chaotic slash, gram sword fighting, sylvien, shield of dependence, or the art and science of war. Each hero has access to three special skills that unlock as they level up and acquire more gold. Only one skill can be trained at a time. This process is tedious and annoying. It can take weeks to learn one skill. Warriors have to visit the shop and click the training button on however many consecutive days is required to complete the lesson. If a players misses a day the counter starts back over lengthening the process. The skills are also very expensive. Although it only requires gold which is earned through quests and fighting the large amounts can make the training difficult. Some skills require an enrollment fee of up to 5,136,287 pieces of gold. Adding friends as allies can help. If allies possess a special skill or high attributes players can borrow and use that move during combat.
The Blind Blacksmith
Weapons and armor increase attack and defense during battles. There's a somewhat small selection in the shops. Players can only purchase weapons designated for their class and race. Warriors have steel shanks, valiance, guillotines, crescent blades, and fang halberds. Rangers use composite bows, the Boltstafe, Aegis longbows, and Quivercrosses. The mystics use a variety of magical staffs like the Neptica, Luminaive, Cryocept, Flerica, and Spellstave. Armor consists of headgear, shields, upper, and lower protection. Certain races have better looking armor than others. Depending on a player's hero they can purchase winged shields, faith robes, angelus suits, or hollow marks as guards. The items in the shops are quite expensive. At the blind blacksmith's shop players can upgrade their weapons and armor for small fee. The process uses items found through exploring like cooper ore, glass shards, and emeralds. Any unsuccessful upgrade results in the lost the weapon. Making improvement can be beneficial but risky in Endless Chaos.
Final Verdict: Good
Endless Chaos is what a text based fantasy MMORPG should be. Similar to Mafia Wars and Dawn of Dragons this game is addicting. It has an intriguing storyline that players can alter by choosing the moral or evil paths to take. Heroes face off with others in PvP battles. Kill mutated serpents, monstrous lizards, and prehistoric looking eagle creatures. Explore the River of Panthera to the Ancient Ruins while unlocking abandoned temples and abysmal towers. Compete with friends for the highest kill score and top PvP rank. Although the customization and shops could be better it's a solid game.

October 2011 SF Book of the Month - Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
This month's book is a recent release (August 2011), a celebration of all that is geek:
From Ernest's website:
At once wildly original and stuffed with irresistible nostalgia, READY PLAYER ONE is a spectacularly genre-busting, ambitious, and charming debut—part quest novel, part love story, and part virtual space opera set in a universe where spell-slinging mages battle giant Japanese robots, entire planets are inspired by Blade Runner, and flying DeLoreans achieve light speed.
It's the year 2044, and the real world is an ugly place.
Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes his grim surroundings by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia that lets you be anything you want to be, a place where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets.
And like most of humanity, Wade dreams of being the one to discover the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this virtual world. For somewhere inside this giant networked playground, OASIS creator James Halliday has hidden a series of fiendish puzzles that will yield massive fortune—and remarkable power—to whoever can unlock them.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that Halliday's riddles are based in the pop culture he loved—that of the late twentieth century. And for years, millions have found in this quest another means of escape, retreating into happy, obsessive study of Halliday's icons. Like many of his contemporaries, Wade is as comfortable debating the finer points of John Hughes's oeuvre, playing Pac-Man, or reciting Devo lyrics as he is scrounging power to run his OASIS rig.
And then Wade stumbles upon the first puzzle.
Suddenly the whole world is watching, and thousands of competitors join the hunt—among them certain powerful players who are willing to commit very real murder to beat Wade to this prize. Now the only way for Wade to survive and preserve everything he knows is to win. But to do so, he may have to leave behind his oh-so-perfect virtual existence and face up to life—and love—in the real world he's always been so desperate to escape.
A world at stake.
A quest for the ultimate prize.
Are you ready?

I could hardly contain my excitement when reading this earlier last month. I wouldn't really class myself as a 'geek' - although I certainly recognized many of the 80s music/gaming/film/general culture references (hey - I'm of that age!) - but I absolutely loved reading this book.
Now, 3 or 4 weeks later the effect of it has dimmed somewhat and it hasn't quite grown within me in the way that a really good book does after you finish it. I can't deny that it was pure reading pleasure at the time though.

But it is being used here to sell the book.
And then there's this:

I absolutely loved this book. Finished it in about a day and a half. Could hardly put it down. Loved the characters and the setting both. My only "problem" with the book is it felt like a book that needed an epilogue.
Now I'm having problems getting into the new book I'm reading because I keep thinking of RP1 lol.

Just finished this book, really enjoyed it. Hope there is a sequel.

It's clear that this book has been a great success with a large swathe of people, including those who would not usually read SF. I wonder why this is. Is it simply because Kline is a top class story teller and able to engage across the usual boundaries in a way that other authors can't? Or is it that the story responds to some inner need a lot of people feel to escape from the world in such a profound way that they never go outside and live out crazy hedonistic years long computer game quests?
For me, the 80s references were just window dressing and even in the context of the story they often seemed gratuitous. Still they were interesting in themselves and did mesh with the story at some points, even if it was only through the use of a film as a sort of grand computer game. They weren't intrusive enough to ever become annoying though so must have been well judged by Kline.

Has anyone else written a VR world like this? Most of the vr stories I've seen have been more "Matrix" or "13th Floor" type of thing. I don't recall seeing a story where it's used to create the biggest MMO ever.
I also liked some of the things that were introduced later on in the story like **Spoiler** using it to be in your favorite movie or video game.
Overall it was just a really fun imaginative joy ride.

P.s. is there anything similar to this out there?

80 pages in and I'm pleasantly hooked. So far I'm finding the early expository chapters quite compelling and introducing the characters and their world in a very engaging way.

Just finished this and really enjoyed it. I thought he did a great job with it - I was concerned about where it would go, but was pleasantly surprised by how he pulled it all together. Looking forward to his next book.

I absolutely loved the book when I read it, possibly one of my top three books this year. I've got a lot of driving ahead this weekend (around 10+ hours) so I'm going to try and get hold of the audio book before then. As it's read by Wil Wheaton it is going to be even more geeky than the book on its own!
October 10th, 2011, 09:19 AM #12
Really, really enjoyed this one. Has been a while since I devoured a book in this tempo - i kept on reading no matter where i was; sitting in the garden, during lunch, in the car. Like Rothfuss states on the cover: "I feel this book has been written especially for me".
I'm from 1973, so I grew up in the eighties, watching Ferris Bueller, Wargames, Star Wars, Familiy Ties, A-team etc, etc, etc. I had one of the first Commodore 64's - you know, the one with the tapedeck - before the floppy disk arrived. Playing Defender, Way of the Exploding Fist, Frogger, Summergames and ofc text based adventure games. So RP1 was indeed a feast of recognition. But it's not only the unashamed nostalgia that kept me hooked. Cline conjures up a very believable future, including its parallel, virtual economy (which, to be fair, is already here: real dollars are being paid for World of Warcraft gold, or for property in Second Life for instance). I wonder btw which company Cline had in mind when he came up with IOI The story itself, Wade's quest for Hallidays egg, is also very engaging, fast-paced and a lot of fun to read; although it misses the depth Tad Williams for instance achieves in his Otherland series [@Shonsu: Otherland is an excellent example of a VR world used as the central setting for the story, highly recommended]. So here's me rooting for a sequel

I have to say I loved RP1. I also got a kick out of the fact that the "stack" where Wade lived in Oklahoma City is only about 3 miles from my house. Very fast paced book.
I am kind of torn on the 80s references though. The author used a lot of 80s and 90s nerd references when describing things which I thought was a good way for a nerd of the 80s/90s to follow along. However, as was mentioned above they sometimes felt a bit too gratuitous.
October 10th, 2011, 01:46 PM #14
I'm also in the camp that found this to be both great fun and very readable. It felt like a big cross between Otherland and something like The Da Vinci Code in the whole solving of puzzles aspect of things. I was a little young for some of the pop culture references to click (that and I've never been much of a movie person), but the gaming ones worked well for me. Tomb of Horrors, Joust, Adventure, even Black Tiger are all things I remember well, so he was certainly able to save a lot of world building time with just mentions of these sorts of things.
But what I particularly liked is that the nostalgia references weren't what made it for me. Under all that was a fun adventure (almost more quest fantasy than SF) that was really engaging from front to back. There were good villains and interesting betrayals. The world building wasn't the most original thing as far as VR taking over real life, but I think it is a bit more relevant now in the face of how often people are plugged into devices.
A lot of folks upthread are talking about being interested in a sequel. I'm not sure I think it needs one. I think it's a concept that would get to be overwhelming if overdone. RP1 seemed to be a nice length, but I'm not sure I'd have wanted another 100 pages of it. That said, I think it hit the sweet spot for me. It stands right now as the most fun I've had reading a book in a long, long while. Maybe not the best book I've read in years, but definitely the most fun.

Agreed. I'm not really sure how a sequel would play out. I think if Mr Cline was so inclined (I know...sorry) I could see this as a trilogy if it was written as one from the start. Three Gates, three books. With all the back story and "quest" leading up to the first gate I kind of though that might be the way he was going to go with it. At that point a good chunk of the book was gone. The rest would have to be really stretched out or the puzzles made more time consuming.

|A Class of Cellulated Spheres with Non-Polytopal Symmetries
We construct, for all $d\geq 4$, a cellulation of $\mathbb S^{d-1}$. We prove that these cellulations cannot be polytopal with maximal combinatorial symmetry. Such non-realizability phenomenon was first described in dimension 4 by Bokowski, Ewald and Kleinschmidt, and, to the knowledge of the author, until now there have not been any known examples in higher dimensions. As a starting point for the construction, we introduce a new class of (Wythoffian) uniform polytopes, which we call duplexes. In proving our main result, we use some tools that we developed earlier while studying perfect polytopes. In particular, we prove perfectness of the duplexes; furthermore, we prove and make use of the perfectness of another new class of polytopes which we obtain by a variant of the so-called $E$-construction introduced by Eppstein, Kuperberg and Ziegler.

In the case of St. Albans, the answer dates from 1855, when the Central Vermont Railway (CVR) established its headquarters here. Rail played a vital role in the city's growth and economy, bringing great prosperity and affluence, still evident today in the numerous grand Victorian homes and the town's nickname, "Rail City."
Downtown still bustles today with activity. Main Street offers fine specialty shops and award-winning restaurants. In the summer and fall the Farmer's Market boasts fresh produce, specialty foods and fine handcrafted goods. St. Albans' close proximity to Lake Champlain provides for boating, hiking and biking opportunities with spectacular views, especially during the fall foliage.
The historic buildings on Main and Church Streets grace one of Vermont's largest downtown parks where community activities and events are held throughout the year. In the spring, visitors can experience 40 years of tradition and fun at the Vermont Maple Festival. Come summertime, local bands and artists step up to perform in the gazebo on the town square.
This town green is also where the northern-most battle during the Civil War was fought – when a group of Confederate soldiers staged multiple bank robberies and attempted to set the town ablaze. The St. Albans Raid and the Age of Rail and more can be explored at the St. Albans Historical Museum.
Whether Downtown St. Albans is your destination or just a stop along the way as you explore the farms and rural centers of Franklin County, you can be sure to find something worthwhile around every corner.

Over expression of the α-synuclein protein can lead to familial Parkinson's disease. However, the cause of cell loss and dysfunction in human neurons is still unknown. In addition, the relevance of synuclein subcellular localization within the cytoplasm versus the nucleus remains unclear.The HaloTag® technology, based on the formation of a specific covalent bond between a HaloTag reporter protein and fluorescent ligands, was used to explore synuclein over production in human neural progenitor cells. Our previous studies have shown that synuclein and its mutations can be expressed in human neural stem and progenitor cells (Schneider et al, 2007). To establish whether human synuclein can be tagged and specifically directed to either the cytoplasm or the nucleus, we fused synuclein to either HaloTag or HaloTag and a nuclear localization sequence (NLS). Lentiviral vectors encoding these synuclein fusions were generated and used for stable expression in human neural progenitor cells. Image analysis showed proper localization in progenitors and in differentiated human neurons and astrocytes. Stable expression permits the study of old and new protein pools overtime in live cells.Finally, cells stably expressing synuclein-HaloTag fusions were transplanted to assess survival, expression and protein localization in vivo. Transplants, visualized with the HaloTag® technology,

George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, who were born this month in 1732 and 1809, respectively, both served the country at critical moments in its history: Washington fought for its creation, and Lincoln for its preservation. But besides this distinction—and the fact that their faces are engraved on our currency—they share another honor: They each have garden and landscape plants named after them. Here are a few.
George Washington
Rosa 'General Washington' (a medium red hybrid perpetual rose), introduced in 1860 or 1860
Thuja occidentalis 'George Washington' (variegated arborvitae), introduced in 1986
Hemerocallis 'George Washington' (a bubblegum pink daylily with a gold edge), introduced in 2007
Washingtonia, a genus of fan palms native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico that includes Washingtonia filifera (California fan palm) and W. robusta (Washington fan palm)
Abraham Lincoln
Rosa 'Souvenir du President Lincoln' (a medium pink Bourbon rose), introduced in 1865
Rhododendron 'President Lincoln' (a rhododendron with lavender flowers), introduced in 1871
Syringa vulgaris 'President Lincoln' (a common lilac with blue-lavender flowers), introduced in 1916
Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'Original Abraham Lincoln' (a red slicing tomato), introduced by the Buckbee Seed Company as 'Buckbee's Abraham Lincoln' about 1923 and rebred by R. H. Shumway's Seeds in 1986
Paeonia 'President Lincoln' (a red single form peony), introduced in 1928
Rosa 'Mister Lincoln' (a dark red hybrid tea rose), introduced in 1964
Hemerocallis 'Abraham Lincoln' (a lavender, violet, and chartreuse daylily), introduced in 2008
It would be interesting to learn why these plant breeders decided to name their creations after our first and 16th presidents. If any of you have grown one of these plants or has any more information about it, or know of other plants named after Washington or Lincoln, I would love to update our readers. Please add your comments below.
By the way, did you know that there is no official federal holiday called Presidents' Day? The correct name for today's holiday is Washington's Birthday.
Happy birthday to the Father of Our Country!

It could be that too.
I thought this was going to be an EJ trade idea thread, preparing for December 15th.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
It could be that too.
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
Some decent footage of Mitchell. There's barely any videos of him on YouTube.......
Short compilation of McAdoo highlights (only high school). Another player with very few videos on YouTube.
Best player available regardless of position. In their primes, Anthony Davis can play the 4 or 5 IMO and Rivers can play the 1 or 2. Gordon can play the 1 or 2 as well, but who knows about his future health. At this point, I'd assume he won't be on the team when Davis & Rivers get new contracts. Since they're not limited to any specific position, you can draft anyone.
I think the more important point is that we both agree that Zeller would make a great addition to our team. I only bought the "race" thing up in order to convince you and others that we don't necessarily need the #1 pick to have an opportunity to snag him.
(I'm not counting PG b/c Monty and Demps have that spot "filled" long-term with Rivers).
Last edited by PelsFan2313; 10-31-2012 at 01:47 PM.
Logic dictates that thirty-five years is way too large of a sample size to conclude otherwise; there must be an explanation for such a disparity. Race is the most transparent one.
But like I said, I'm done talking about this. You can believe what you want. The facts clearly say otherwise.

Too early for the talk of the TANK. Besides the Saints are using it right now.... Not enough tanks to go around in this city.
Lol I am a white guy also. Larry Bird and Kevin Love. Neither were very athletic and without hindsight would be hard to take number 1. Obviously they both are worth 1st pick after seeing how good they are/were. But the top spot in the draft is so potential based.
Edit: My point is I think Zeller has a shot at number one, He is way more "talented" than a Kevin Love was coming out.
Last edited by Luke's Pelicans; 10-31-2012 at 02:43 PM.
We are agreeing. On all points. I wasn't really saying Love should have been number 1. I was saying what you are saying in that he had question marks.
As for Noel and Shabazz I agree with you. They have the higher ceiling but Zellers ceiling is really high too. We shall see.

**** South Carolina's History *****
South Carolina was named to honor King Charles I (Carolus is Latin for Charles).
Following exploration of the coast in 1521 by Francisco de Gordillo, the Spanish tried unsuccessfully to establish a colony near present-day Georgetown in 1526, and the French also failed to colonize Parris Island near Fort Royal in 1562. The first English settlement was made in 1670 at Albemarle Point on the Ashley River, but poor conditions drove the settlers to the site of Charleston (originally called Charles Town).
South Carolina was based on a plantation culture with an aristocratic, wealthy society that was dependent on black slave labor. One of the original 13 colonies, South Carolina was first formed in 1729 when the Carolina colony was divided in two to form North and South Carolina. The attack on Fort Sumter in the Charleston harbor launched the Civil War. After the war, the structure of the state changed.
It was admitted to the Union on May 23, 1788 and became the 8th state.

DeCourcy: The most surprising thing is that there is this much talent in his tank. We're talking about a 2-star recruit out of high school, and it's not as though he was overlooked. He played at South Kent School and with the New York Gauchos. You play for those people, you get seen.
Who recruited him? Fordham, George Mason, Hofstra, LaSalle, Houston. And, in the end, Louisville, whose scholarship offer ended the process.
But nearly as unexpected has been Louisville coach Rick Pitino's willingness to trust his team to Smith. Though Smith is not the point guard most times, he has become the player who decides where the offense goes on a great number of possessions. The "Russdiculous" name came from Smith's capacity to help either team in a given game, but unlike many coaches — and, frankly, analysts — who worry so much about turnovers they ignore the damage that can be done to a defense by a guy who can get the ball into the lane.
The best quantification of Smith's influence probably is Louisville's 11-1 record, but here's another: Three times in the past six games, he has reached double figures in free-throw attempts. What does that do to a defense? First, he shoots 80 percent from the line, so it's most often two free points. Second, and perhaps more important, it pushes the opponent into foul trouble.
This is the same thing at work with Missouri's Phil Pressey. While many college basketball writers on Twitter were mocking Pressey's 0-for-15 start against Illinois, Sporting News' Ryan Fagan hit one out of the park by pointing out how even those misses helped undermine the Illini defense.
Failing to account for the damage a penetrating guard does to a defense is ... what's the word? Oh, yes: It's russdiculous.
DeCourcy: When Louisville coach Rick Pitino announced a week before Christmas that Dieng's most recent medical tests had not gone well and he would likely not play until January, that was the moment it became clear Dieng would play against Kentucky.
In regards to injuries, Pitino is as truthful as a poker player trying to disguise the true value of his hand.
DeCourcy: This is a direct quote from the college basketball preview issue of Sporting News magazine: "He is not Anthony Davis. Noel doesn't have the offensive game or the ability to destroy opposing offenses on the perimeter as well as at the goal. But Davis is not Noel, who can be a constant, fearsome presence in the lane."
Isn't that pretty much the guy you're seeing on the floor each time Kentucky plays?
On defense, he has blocked 21 shots over the past four games, and he's also picking up 2.7 steals on average. Any reason to complain there?
If anything, those watching Noel should be pleasantly surprised. He's really been better than expected because almost nothing he did in high school gave us any reason to expect he would help the Wildcats as an offensive target. With his extraordinary athleticism, one might have anticipated he could throw down a few lobs or tip-dunks. But getting him the ball in the post? Why would anyone do that?
Well, here's why: Because Noel wants so badly to matter that he finds ways to use his quickness and athleticism to explode into defenders before they can react. That's what he did in scoring 16 against Duke's Mason Plumlee, who fouled out of the Blue Devils' victory. Noel is a long way from gaining the full measure of his skills and would benefit immeasurably from a second season of college basketball. That hasn't been true of many recent Kentucky freshmen.
Harrow wasn't really there for any of UK's biggest games to date. Against Maryland, Duke and Notre Dame, he played a total of 19 minutes. His absence has been explained only cryptically. It is suspected the weight of expectations as Kentucky point guard was a lot for him to bear. It will be more so when Louisville, with more than 20,000 Cardinals fans screaming, slaps some full-court pressure in his face.
Whether the Wildcats win, Harrow's response might be the most important component of their development toward the next three months.
DeCourcy: When you have the money and position these two gentlemen have achieved, pressure mostly is the result of understanding one's limited opportunities to take advantage of a situation. Nobody can apply pressure to coaches with their standing. It comes entirely from within.
With Calipari and Kentucky last year, the pressure was to win the NCAA championship when it was clear the Wildcats were the best team.
With Pitino, it'll eventually be a matter of trying to win the title with a team good enough to do it and perhaps no clear favorite.
But what about Saturday? How much does it matter to Pitino to defeat Calipari? Though Calipari has won all four matchups as UK coach, he holds only a 9-8 lead in their head-to-head series. The advantage is not overwhelming as the recent results suggest.
To say Pitino is under greater pressure in this circumstance is either a guess, or fiction. He knows, and those closest to him.

Dishwahing is awful haha. I'd say you need to:
51 months ago
I pride myself as being one of the best dishwashers in the world and love to have new people to train that are willing to try keeping up. I worked at the Space Needle in Seattle and the kitchen is union and refused to give awards. I was the very first person ever since the Needle was built to be given an (Hi-Five) award.
A normal day for me would consist of washing the backed up pots and pans upon arrival, taking elevator to the restaurant and washing there until time to ride elevator to banquet level where I would help plate up food. Next I would go back and finish the evenings pots and pans quickly, with time to spare I would jump down and help wash in the restaurant; then end my night washing all the banquet dishes I helped plate up. Sometimes the banquets were outside events. Good luck out there all.

If i work fast at my dishwashing job as well as do side tasks will that earn me a promotion and being on time for work. Side tasks like basting croissants, peeling carrots, cutting and gutting tomatoes, doing herbs, cutting baby potatoes in half. And the other tasks are sweeping and mopping the stairs, clean staff bathroom, sweep basement floor, take out garbages, break down recycling and put in shed,.

Of course however these things take a long time for you to get the promotion. Plus they need to know it is your wish to move up eventually.

Hey, year-long employed dishwasher here. I work at an italian restaurant in the around the suburbs of a big city, and although it pretty much goes without saying, dishwashing sucks. It truly does. Dirty, greasy, crust caked plates and pans pile up all around you, coworkers and superiors constantly pawn secondary work off on you and the workload that you deal with will leave you wondering if all of it was worth the money. However, if you're short on options and need some tips on how to survive the bulls***, I have a few tips I can share:
1: Take priority of what needs to be washed most frequently.
Good luck!

Creativity doesn't always strike from out of the blue — it's often expressed by carefully changing that which already exists. The latter approach was favored by A. Lerman Architects as they set about transforming a humble, rough warehouse into a contemporary art gallery in Tel Aviv, Israel. The resulting gallery showcases the work of emerging visual artists in a space that is raw but also resolved. The light renovation elegantly exposes the history of the building, providing a backdrop for new expression.
The 40's-era print factory went through an extensive remodel in the late fifties when ad hoc changes were made to improve lighting and ventilation. The upstairs was added during the first remodel, and it has now been converted to a more traditional art space with white walls. The architects kept the openings in the front of the building, treating them with modern glass in dark frames to make them stand out from the cement-toned façade.
The original loading I-beam remains untouched with the glass cut around it. All utilities are left raw and even scribbles on the walls have been preserved to relay the working history of the space. An interesting gesture in itself, the gallery speaks not to just what was but what could be next.

Poisonville Overview
Poisonville is Bigpoint's most ambitious browser game to date. Built using Java, Poisonville is a huge urban metropolis where players control characters on the run from the authorities. Earn cash doing missions for NPCs, or make your own way by gunning down thugs on the street. Jack cars and drive them to get around the large city, but be careful. You're not the only gangster in town. Like other Bigpoint games, Poisonville has open PvP which means other players can gun you down on sight. Work together to form gangs and take control of the streets. Buy new guns, ammo, and other accessories to stay on top.

Homework Help
Homework Help
Do you need three sources for a paper due next week, none of which can be an encyclopedia? The Library can help. What is the source for a quotation used by Gov. Kaine in a speech last week? The Library can locate that. What if you suddenly remember Sunday night that you have an assignment due Monday, you need a newspaper or journal or encyclopedia article, and the Library is closed? The Library can help with that, too.
Two outstanding resources are available to give students the information you need, 24/7.
Britannica Online is the electronic version of the Encylopedia Britannica, the venerable authority published since the 18th century.
Find It Virginia is a vast collection of magazine and newspaper articles, as well as tv and radio transcripts, business and investment information, health and wellness information, encyclopedias and other reference works.
Both of these tools are available at www.tcplweb.org under Electronic Resources. All you need to access them from any Internet connection is a library card.
You can search Find It Virginia using any of several database collections, or you can do a Power Search of multiple databases at once.
Collections include:
Biography Resource Center contains biographies of 320,000 people from around the world and throughout history. Material included is very current: the latest entry for Alex Rodriguez is dated February 19, 2009. There is a recent entry for Danny Doyle, director of Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire.
General One-File includes millions of full-text articles, including Kids InfoBits for students in kindergarten through grade 5, InfoTrac Junior Edition for students in grades 6-8, and InfoTrac Student Edition for high school students.
ELibrary includes articles from newspapers, among them the Roanoke Times & World News, Richmond Times Dispatch, Washington Post, magazines, transcripts, pictures, and maps.
Contemporary Literary Criticism contains for each author covered: a biographical/critical introduction, listing of principal works and sources for further study.
Expanded Academic ASAP, General Reference Center Gold, and Gale Virtual Reference Library offer a wealth of journal articles and reference tools.
The Virtual Reference Library contains 19 reference works. A check in Beacham's Guide to the Endangered Species of North America for "mussel Clinch River" brings up entries on seven varieties of endangered mussels in our own region. Each entry includes a color illustration, description, behavior, habitat, distribution, threats, conservation and recovery efforts, and references to more information.
A frequently asked question in the library is for state information for school reports. Blackbirch Kid's Visual Reference of the United States presents overviews of all fifty states, territories, and possessions, including a picture of the flag, the motto, the capital, statehood date, demographic information (population characteristics), tree, flower, dog (did you know that Virginia's state dog is the American foxhound?), maps, history, geography, resources, industry, and famous people.
Subject-oriented databases include Business and Company Resource Center, Computer Database, Health and Wellness Resource Center and Alternative Health Module, InfoTrac Religion and Philosophy, LegalTrac, and Military & Intelligence Database.
For teachers and other professionals, there is the Professional Collection, which presents the full text of more than 250 journal titles. It is easy to scan the contents of journals in your field and spot articles worth a look.
Articles can be viewed online, printed or emailed.
Homework never was so easy, or so much fun. It is amazing what you can find in Britannica Online and Find It Virginia, and you might amaze your teachers with all you now know! For more homework help, visit www.tcplweb.org or call 988-2541.
