Publishers investing in game projects need to see a high ROI to support a Linux client. This means some combination of increasing revenue or reducing cost/effort of multiplatform development.
Developers often run more on passion and interest than accountant like calculations; I think making multiplatform development easy is key to winning over support from smaller programmer run shops.
I also suspect that developers are limited in how they can price their game when distributed elsewhere. I don't have proof, and the contracts are kept secret, but why else don't developers price their non-Steam games at a lower price to reflect the savings of omitting the middle man?
If you don't like it, don't use it.
I use mostly free software, but it's my choice.
I'd also like to point out that nowhere does Steam stop game developers from releasing their games opensource or through other distribution methods.

The Humble Indie Bundle comes to mind...which has contained (and/or contains) various games which are also included in Steam, and on consoles. There is no set price for the Humble Bundles, and prices for games which are sold on (for instance) the Wii store (e.g. Cave Story+) have even less flexability in pricing than on Steam...but they're still available on Steam, if that's what you're in to.
I googled "assassins creed 3 torrent" and found 5.210.000 results.
I googled "crysis 3 torrent" and found 7.490.000 results.
I googled "bioshock infinite torrent" and found 5.190.000 results.
I don't get the argument how DRM is supposed to prevent piracy. It's maybe a day and you can just google it with the obvious keywords. Not hard to find at all, not hard to download at all and not hard to install at all.
@DanLambso if i choose to use linux then i'm forbiden from having ETQW or UT2004, doom3, quake3TA installed on my linux box just because those games are close source? You did use windows, right? what made you use it? were you forbidden from using open source software on windows?My main point is that if the community supports the Linux ideals of choice, tech freedom, public source code, public details, and minimal coercion, then you should not advocate in favor of Steam.
Valve by porting steam to linux and release many of their games with linux support had direct impact on gfx drivers specially on Intel's Open source drivers (openGL 3.x almost complete in 2~3 years), should we send a open letter to intel to stop what they are doing and still be dependent of Nvidia's blob or AMD's blob? is that what you are saying?
Sorry but linux is about freedom of choice and use, only its code is copyleft. You are ignoring other people choice and rights. I use crossover, from code weaver which happens to be the main company that maintains Wine, using crossover and paying for it, i contribute in an open source project that helps to run some dark and closed source softwares (that includes games and countless apps). Should code weaver stop contributing to open source?
The community should not pressure or coerce developers to support Steam against their will.
Developers should not require gamers use Steam and not subject them to Valve's pricing restrictions if they have opted out of Valve's product. I understand Valve doesn't require exclusivity, but I have a suspicion that in their contract terms that they hide, that they make it difficult for say, devs to price their non-Steam version at one price, and pass along the cost of Valve's revenue sharing demands with a higher priced Steam version.
Open source is not GPL. This is Stallmans own words. Instead I think what has grown forth as Open Source is much less obscure.
Releasing software as "open source" means to make sure that the code stays open-source and the works based on it, says open-source, so it becomes a collaborative effort, available everywhere, without having to do R&D again, and again with companies, and even several companies doing the same, not sharing progress.
GPL has become something obscure. People say Nvidia can´t interface with some GPL code. Now "steam" is counterintuitive to open-source. How can what is not open-source be counterintutitive to open-source. These are two different things. If YOU want to release something as open-source, then do so, and let others do what they want. Don´t go all "religious" as they call it, with regards to the licence. It pests like a salafi, or trinitarian, the environment. Just as someone would force a hijab on you, or cut you in the penis. Instead RATIONAL religion, that is ok. Law principles of Lex Naturalis. There must be one force, and it must be the force in ourselves aswell. So natural behaviour. Is natural behaviour that of behaving obstinate and requiring the other to release his software as open-source? No. Let natural roles form. And this aspect of GPL is ugly.
Instead: The Beneficient Open-Source Licence.
This licence is about the "spirit of Open-source". Where you can release something as open-source, and have it be open-source, and benefit the world, and respect the positive intentions of this, without all the idolaterous religion of Stallman, of strange concepts to human nature. Nobody likes that. Our society has evolved from "trinitarian" structures in the west, to more greek-monotheistic philosophy. This because, it is about ourselves. Sense, decency. In the east unfortunately the salafis are still singing the trinitarian song, of the 8-headed salafi-god.
And in the linux-community, people have "zeal", over interfaces and even major mainstream actors getting involved on linux.
That just is .. very salafi-like.
This, I think is so much better. No compulsive thought, strange slogans, or hijabs.
"This program, plugin or function is licenced under
The Beneficient Open-Source Licence.
That means that its source is released
and shall stay available openly,
to benefit humankind, in the path of God.
And that shall apply to developments,
modifications, derivations, and branches.
The licence may not be changed, but modifications
between program, plugin and function may be done,
and used alongside software of other licences.
Peace Be With You."
With this you can release your stuff, and protect the intent of releasing it as "open-source" with a minimal of obscurity, and interpretation. And who knows what GPL is about anymore.
Open-source has obviously been formed by what people believe it is. And maybe become much better than what it originally was.
Peace Be With You.

videos of him and his wife to gonewild on reddit, so by comparison, you must be evil because you hide all this stuff, right?
It's interesting that you haven't even considered that the contracts could be very competitive. Your assumption and assertion is that the contracts must be bad therefore hidden.Right there, heavy handed legal agreements that you aren't even allowed to discuss in public. If anything is opposite to the open, community nature and spirit of open source and Linux, this is it.
This is, frankly, absurd given than you've mentioned Apple who are perhaps the most closed and restrictive platform out there.I can infer that Steam:
- Has much more subjective say over which games they distribute and promote.
Every vendor has the right to sell or not sell stuff on their site.
Please post proof. Not showing the contract does not mean Steam controls the price at all.- Has much more controls over how games are priced than say iOS/Android, where it is pretty much completely a developer choice.
Please post proof. Let's look at the limited evidence we do have. Lots of developers, both big and small seem to be tripping over themselves- Has much more leverage over game developers and reduces their rights.
to get their games on Steam.
Whereas, people like Notch have published their games on a simple website away from steam and made bazillions.
So, I don't see how you can claim Steam have any leverage over game developers or their rights.
It seems to me, whether you get your game on steam or not, it can be successful either way.
Again, you haven't even considered that the contracts may be hidden because they are good or better than the competition.
You can write your own. EA and many others have.The code to Steam is not open source, not forkable, and the protocols are all completely proprietary. If you don't like the Steam client, you can't just write your own.
They are doing work towards opening up the store.
But it seems moot, this won't really affect anything in terms of Steam hosting and distributing games from their servers.
There is? Where?And there is a push to make games Steam exclusive to remove the choice from users to experience game content without Stream.
So, without any knowledge at all of a steam contract or what cut they take you conclude this? Again, that you don't even consider that they might wantValve wants Stream to take away rights of Linux developers, control contract info and negotiations in secret, control the pricing, and take a large revenue cut.
to hide the contracts because the cut could be competitive is telling. What a secret contract tells you is, nothing, because it's secret.
What you infer from knowing nothing tells us about you and the way your mind works.
What entitles them to a cut is that they are putting the software on steam, distributing it and providing a bunch of software for those developers to use.Additionally, I can see a logical fairness to Apple claiming a 30% revenue cut on iOS apps since they built and drive that entire hardware and OS ecosystem. It's a similar story for Android apps. But what entitles Steam to a large cut of the revenue of a software product that some independent developer writes for Linux?
IIRC they are the in the top 5 bandwidth users on the internet. Steam is not Id software with an FTP server connected via a 56k modem in their spare office.
Valve are developing hardware - not that it matters. An android uses linux so it's rather disingenuous to suggest they have a similar story. Their story is
far more similar to Steam's big picture mode.
So, what steam provides is no small potatoes. There are plenty of websites and stores in the linux world that I've never bought anything from and never will - put your game on there if you like,
and get a 70% cut of fuck all. Or a 90% cut of sweet fanny adams if you can. It'll probably make no difference what cut you get. Then sit under your bedsheet, furiously masturbating to videos of Richard Stallman eating his feet.
Or put your game on steam under whatever deal Valve offer you. Or don't. The choice is yours.
But remember, the other guys furiously going at it to RMS's picture will probably point out that your game isn't open source and therefore you are bad.
If you've written a piece of open source software that you want to give away, there's not really a need to put it on steam nor to enter a contract with Valve.
OTOH, if you haven't, if your "linux software" costs money and is closed source you're frankly a bit of a dick to start complaining that Steam isn't open source and that they are taking away your rights
especially without any evidence to back it up.
Let's face reality. If you took all the closed source stuff away that nearly makes linux a good gaming platform (it isn't that yet - certainly not for AMD owners) then the platform would be shit for games. There are basically few, if any decent games that are not closed source too. So, if linux wants good games it seems clear that the open source community cannot deliver on that goal for whatever reason.If Linux wants good games, someone fix the issues that have made it hard for developers to have platform neutral game clients. Most game developers require fairly standard functionality to build on: fast 3D graphics rendering, audio, keyboard/mouse input, and install/unistall.
No doubt you have some evil corporations to blame for that. Whatever. It doesn't change reality.
Usually at this point someone wants to hit reply and start talking about some obscure game they like. Or wine.
But, games are a billion dollar business, with millions of gamers buying and playing them - these are the people that Steam on linux is aiming at - gamers. With new hardware at different tiers and price points, with whatever the steam box is hardware wise, and whatever similar things appear from other manufacturers. They seem to be looking at doing stuff that beams the picture from your PC to the TV as entry level, mid-range console-like gaming hardware that plugs into your TV and uses Steam's big picture mode at a middle level and your all-powerful, triple-sli overclocked PC +++, spend what you can afford, at the high end.
So, precisely the things you claim Apple do which entitles them to a cut. not the least because apple use a version of unix to build their OS with too, just like android did. Just like they all built their browsers (and steam at its heart is more or less a webkit browser, you can do 90% of steam on your own client, or use google chrome or safari, Internet explorer) on top of open source software.
A side effect is, we can stick it Steam linux on an otherwise ordinary linux distro too. This is because Valve want the platform to be open - but perhaps not in the sense you understand that. To Valve's eyes, the PC platform running windows 7 was open. Anyone could sell a windows program. They could put steam on windows. What they see as closed is things like Apple and, potentially windows 8, where you get one store to buy things from and an app like Steam isn't allowed.
But they aren't writing steam for linux to attract the kind of linux guy who fiddles while RMS eats. If that guy is you, you are not really the market. They want, I believe, gamers to buy and use the linux-based hardware and software. Gamers have, quite obviously now, embraced and accepted Steam. They went through all the wrangling and pitfalls years ago. As have a large number of game developers and publishers. Whether they will publish linux versions will be interesting to see. But I think you are wide of the mark with your inferences.
Well, I suppose it depends what you see as positive and the POV you have. But I think you're missing the point of this.This is an awesome Linux coverage site, and the main writer has personal relations with Valve and is a big fan, but I don't seen any positives out of this for Linux.
When you look at the bazillions of people using android smart phones you may notice many of them don't even know they have linux or care.
They don't foam at the mouth when you shout "Windows 7" at them. (Although I suppose, ironically, they might get their knickers in a twist if you start comparing their phone to a windows phone or an iphone) Presumably the real people to foam at the mouth and argue with, if you buy some kind of Steam box, will be xbox 720 (or whatever it is called) and PS4 owners, rather than with other linux users.
As a linux user you will still be able to argue with people that use a different distro from you (the idiots!) and windows 7/8 users ('nuff said) as well as with BSD developers (what a dumb license!) and yourself. So you'll be busy without needing to fret about Steam on linux.
There are, however, far more Android users than there are linux desktop users. See? Google didn't need to worry about what linux desktop users, or even linux users thought at all. It didn't matter. They just built something for phone users. There may be some overlap, of course. Valve will build something for gamers. Something that has the kind of products and software features they feel will attract gamers - and you just have to accept that is something Valve appear to be very good at, both with their own games and with Steam.
Steam on linux might not sell the RMS swimsuit edition or a cut out keep Steve Ballmer print for your dartboard - because, it doesn't need to attract you - unless, that is, you happen to want to buy and play shedloads of computer games.
I suspect Steam on linux, in the main, will resemble that, a piece of hardware in front of my TV that looks like Steam. The fact it's running linux underneath or upsets you in some way won't really matter. No more than my router running some version of linux that presents a bunch of web pages.

Can't find the right tool or spare part?
If you can't find the part you are looking for please call 1-866-MY-DYSON (1-866-693-9766).
Dyson Customer Care is available during the following hours (CST):
More parts are available to order by phone.
Need help with your machine?
Visit the online support section for help with your vacuum cleaner.
The Dyson Groom tool removes loose hair directly from your dog before it's shed around the home. Collected hair is then sucked straight into the vacuum. Mess free vacuum-assisted dog grooming.
Suction is split during grooming. Enough suction is directed to the dog's coat to capture loose hair and dead skin cells, without the tool sticking. When the thumb trigger is released, the bristles retract and full suction is transferred to the soleplate to hygienically suck captured hair into the vacuum.
Loose hair is removed by 364 slicker bristles angled at 35°. When pressure is applied, they flex to an upright position to penetrate the entire coat. Bristle length is controlled by a spring-loaded trigger. Adjusting thumb pressure extends or withdraws the slicker bristles. Different dog breeds require different bristle lengths - the longer the dog's hair, the longer the bristle length. When not in use, the bristles retract for safe storage.
The Dyson groom tool can be used with all Dyson uprights and canister vacuums. However, it is not compatible with cordless, handhelds, DC21 motorhead , DC22 motorhead, and DC23 motorhead. It's suitable for long and medium haired dogs.
Orders for parts and/or accessories incur $8.95 shipping and handling charge and are delivered within 7-10 business days. Please note we can only deliver to addresses within the US. We are unable ship orders to APO/FPO addresses, Puerto Rico, Guam or other US Territories.

Thread: Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
October 10th, 2012, 04:04 PM #1
Stormdancer by Jay Kristoff
So, Stormdancer gotten a log of buzz and a lot of negative reviews. I'm pretty mixed on it, though certainly trending negative. I'm surprised that I didn't see an existing discussion thread (though the search function may not be working right with the upgrade)? Anyway, who around here has read it? The blurb below of my full review is only part of what I had to say about it.
The plot of Stormdancer follows a standardized checklist for epic fantasy – it's an autocratic political system with overly cruel leadership, there is a mysterious resistance movement, a young teenager is the hero (Yukiko), one parent is dead, there are issues with her father to be overcome, Yukiko has magical abilities, impossibly a mythical creature appears, Yukiko promptly develops a magical bond to said creature, and then Yukiko sets out to topple the government. Anyone who is well read in epic fantasy will easily know the outcome of this book – right down to who dies and who lives. Now, this isn't necessarily a big flaw – someone who has not read a lot of epic fantasy may think that this is a wonderfully unique book, though to me, the plotting was tiresome at best.
On to the writing – as we all know a really well told story from a great storyteller can make it easy to overlook a lot of flaws. Kristoff comes off rather mixed here – at times his writing is really good, surprising good for a debut author and showing lots of potential. However, there are some pretty bad pacing issues – particularly with the beginning third of the novel which essentially serves as poorly presented infodump that lays out all the details of the rather cool world he's created. However, there is no subtlety and no nuance. And while I really enjoy the world that Kristoff has created, he lost a fair be of credibility by bludgeoning the reader continually with the horror and injustice of the environmental and human tragedy at hand.
And all this adds up to an overall criticism of the book that I hate to make – it's too YA – in all the bad ways it can be. To further explain, YA books can be very powerful and rather more complex than many people give them credit for. And the best of them often cross over with great success beyond the traditional YA market. Stormdancer doesn't do this – the lack of subtlety, the lack of nuance, the strait-forward plotting – it has been done over and over again and only reinforces the common criticisms YA books get from more mature audiences. This isn't to say that Stormdancer won't work out well for the traditional YA audience, only that I don't see it moving far past it.

I have it in my queue, tried to get an ARC but they said they were out of them. It will probably get read soon as the negative reviews have my interest piqued.

I loved the UK cover, Ken: started it but it really wasn't my thing up to where I got. If I remember right, it read like a martial arts manual with an annoying heroine thrown in. It was the first third or so I read.
Might work for YA readers, but didn't for me. I do usually finish books to the bitter end, though these days not as much as I used to: review deadlines!
I didn't complete this one, so I'd be interested to hear from others if it improves. What you've said though seems to reflect my thoughts and fears. There's nothing wrong with using traditional tropes as long as it is done well and brings something of interest to the reader. This one didn't: as far as I got.

Mark, I don't think you should waste your time revisiting this one. It doesn't improve significantly and in many ways only gets worse.

Thanks Ken: sorry to hear that. I will take your advice on this one! I hadn't any real opinions about this one before I started, but it seemed to me like an opportunity lost.
But it is a debut novel (I think!). So it*might* get better as it goes?
I gather Jay is a real martial arts expert, so I will be careful what I say.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Who would benefit from these webinars? -Architects -Building owners and managers -Swimming club management personnel -Hotel and resort owners/management -Municipal managers -ADA coordinators -Disability advocates.
The Citizen-Centered Leadership Development Community of Practice series is a unique combination of self-paced distance learning study, robust field work, interactive class assignments and live webcast instruction designed to advance theoretic and skill-based learning leading to quality outcomes in the lives of people with disabilities.
The trainer will explain the Rights of Blind People under the ADA, including in employment and, public and private services.
Topics will include: • Overview of the ADA/ADAA • Definition of "qualified" as it relates to employment • What can employers ask about disability during the employment process? • Disability Disclosure: A personal decision and legally-protected choice • Requesting Accommodation: The Interactive Process • Accommodating different types of disabilities
The trainer will explain to parents the special education process, including their rights and responsibilities in it.
Course Objective: To provide professionals with up to date information on ADA/ADAAA and how they impact disclosure and employment. Learning Outcomes: 1. Review of ADA/ADAAA a. New Regulations b. Expansion of the definition of disability under the law 2. Disclosure when, why and how 3. Common and creative accommodations for persons with mental health issues entering employment 4. Strategies on how to approach employers for accommodations 5. Strategies for dealing with co-workers
The National ADA Symposium is the premiere training conference on the Americans with Disabilities Act and related laws. - Get information that you can use on the job and in your community. - 72 break-out sessions offered for different skill levels and professions. - Sessions presented by representatives of the U.S. Department of Justice, Access Board, EEOC and other national experts. - Keynotes by Dr. Lex Frieden, Executive Director, ILRU, and the Honorable Julian Castro, Mayor of San Antonio (scheduled). - Courses offered towards becoming a Certified ADA Coordinator. - Venue in beautiful San Antonio next to the River Walk, just a block from the Alamo! - Registration fee includes 4 Full Meals: 2 Working Breakfasts, 2 Working Lunches, plus a Welcome Reception. Visit the website at www.adasymposium.org.
This session will provide an opportunity for attendees with advanced knowledge and experience in employment to discuss pertinent issues and problem solve. The Session will follow a guided facilitation format.
During this session, we will consider two parts of a research project recently carried out by the Northeat ADA Center. The first part of this project included a survey conducted in collaboration with the National Society of Human Resource Managers (SHRM) on the preparedness of employers to hire, accommodate and retain veterans with service-related disabilities. The second part of this project included a survey of veterans with disabilities on their preparedness to apply their rights in seeking and sustaining employment. We will present the findings of these two surveys and discuss program and practice implications.
The ADA requires that employers provide accommodations for applicants and employees with disabilities in order to remove workplace barriers to provide equal employment opportunity. For many employers understanding when and how they must comply can be, at times, complex. This session will help employers develop effective policies, procedures, and best practices that can assure full compliance as well as help to successfully respond to reasonable accommodation requests and needs resulting in creating a productive work environment for all employees.
This session will review the following topics: • Overview if the new ADA TN Online Community • How to "network" with the network! • Using the web-based training customization tool • Tracking impact of the ADA TN
At any one moment, around 20% of the working-age population in the average OECD country is suffering from a mental disorder in a clinical sense. In developed countries over 44% of people with mental difficulties do not seek help. In developing countries the number is closer to 90%. Stigma and fear are major barriers to looking for help. The median age at onset across all types of mental disorders is around 14 years of age, with 75% of all illnesses having developed by age 24. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives. Mental ill-health difficulties will account for 15% of the total burden of disease globally by 2020 and depression will be second only to heart disease. Mental health problems and illnesses typically account for approximately 30% of short- and long-term disability claims and 70% in the case of young people. An estimated 57.7 million adults in America, 26.2% of the population, have a mental disorder. In any given year, one in five people in Canada experience a mental health problem or illness and the cost to the economy is well in excess of $50 billion. The costs of mental health problems have been estimated to be equivalent to be at least 3% of Gross National Product (GNP) in the EU. Costs associated with lost employment are considered to be the single greatest contributor to costs. The OECD has called for policy to shift away from severe to common mental disorders and sub-threshold conditions and to focus upon more active and preventive strategies rather than current more reactive approaches. This seminar explores:
The trainer going to speak at the waiting area about the Rights of People with Mental Disabilities under the ADA and will be answering the questions of the audience about this subject.
A discussion on EEOC Management directive 715 barrier analysis and its application to the retention and development of persons with disabilities. EEOC Experts Dexter Brooks and Mildred Rivera-Rau present.
Disability inclusiveness is rapidly becoming an imperative for employers. During this session, we will explore the case for disability inclusiveness in the context of upcoming federal regulations pertaining to the ADA AA and Rehabilitation Act 503 new regulations.
Many employers "get it" when it comes to the basics of their ADA obligations around reasonable accommodation. Yet, they may struggle with understanding real-life dilemmas around implementing reasonable accommodations in the workplace. During this session, we will use a scenario-based approach to discuss dilemmas and challenges around providing compliant and effective accommodations.
This new online tool provides data tables and visualizations of ADA employment discrimination charges filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission as well as state and local Fair Employment Practice Agencies.
This tool is designed to be used by anyone who would like to learn more about disability discrimination charges in their state or region. The data available on the site includes state level information on:
· ADA charges rates (ADA charge per 10,000 individuals with a disability in the labor force)
· The percent of ADA charges citing common bases (e.g., diabetes, depression)
· The percent of ADA charges citing common issues (e.g., discharge, reasonable accommodation)
Users can access all data through accessible tables as well as select and compare states of interest using interactive data visualizations.
This presentation will provide some background on the EEOC charge data and the development of this online tool as well as show users how to access and use this tool.
Register now.
This session will review the following topics: • Revised definition of service animals under the ADA • Service animal inquiries under the ADA • Differences between the ADA and other laws impacting people who use service animals (i.e. Fair Housing Act, Air Carrier Access Act)
This new tool provides an easy way to explore content and the hundreds of variables related to disability and health conditions, work, compensation (e.g. pay and benefits) and employer characteristics across 11 major datasets.
This presentation will introduce this new innovative web-based free resource designed to help researchers learn:
•What datasets related to disability and compensation are out there?
•What topics are covered in each dataset?
•What are the strengths and limitations?
•How do I access the datasets?

I'm probably in Oslo that weekend! Keep us updated!
Phoronix: Phoronix Oslo Meet-Up Next Week
Due to yesterday's very unfortunate attacks in the great land of Norway, on the way to the Berlin Desktop Summit I will now be stopping in Oslo for one week to support in any way possible due to knowing individuals affected by the devastating events. A Phoronix Oslo meet-up is also looking to be organized...
I'm probably in Oslo that weekend! Keep us updated!
I may come from Trondheim to Oslo during the week. If so, please count me in for a beer
Right now there's been a few emails from various Oslo people... I'm hoping to arrange something on the 29th and/or 30th. Right now I am waiting on feedback from these people (or anyone else) about a nice pub-style place in downtown Oslo (ideally near the city centre) with good beers and ideally WiFi too.
Aker brygge is nice, also there are a couple of nice places by Akershus festning. Typically outdoor alternatives though, so not so much for rainy days. Haven't tested the wifi conditions there either. Of course, there is always Carl Johan too.
If weather permits, I like Lekter'n. It is admittedly a bit on the pricey side, so it may not be for everybody. Some links:
Seems like I am quickly getting committed here I will go into negotiations with my wife immediately. Please keep the schedule updated, I will aim for Oslo on Friday/Saturday given your current schedule.

So is Aker Brygge also the name of a bar? I had thought it was a neighborhood.
Great! I have just got green light for Friday in Oslo. Aker brygge is indeed the area (with numerous restaurants and bars, Lekter'n is a boat anchored there, with a beautiful view of Oslo and the Oslo fjord. Here is a picture of it:
You shouldn't worry about prices though. I am surprised if you are able to spend any money there.
Any time after working hours is fine with me.

Mick Taylor Steals The Show At The Rolling Stones' Final LA Date
Wednesday, May 22, 2013
It was the moment die-hard Rolling Stones fans had been waiting for since it was announced Mick Taylor would be hitting the road with the band last year. Taylor dominated the Stones' Monday night (May 20th) final gig at L.A.'s Staples Center, which featured no other surprise guests. Taylor performed a total of four songs with the band -- including his signature tour-de-force, the extended Sticky Fingers workout, "Can't You Hear Me Knocking," along with the rarely played 1971 classic "Sway" which featured only Taylor and Mick Jagger on guitars during the original session.
Taylor joined the band again for his customary spots on "Midnight Rambler" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction." Other highlights in the show featured a performance of the Some Girls favorite -- and "Miss You" B-side -- "Far Away Eyes."
We asked Mick Taylor if it was difficult in rehearsal to figure out how he, Keith Richard, and Ron Wood would weave three guitar parts into a two-guitar band: "We didn't even think about it. I mean, in a strange way, all three guitars kind of blend seamlessly into each other, y'know? Especially if the sound is really good on stage. It was actually good right from the off, y'know?"
The Rolling Stones tour dates (subject to change):
May 25 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre
May 28, 31 - Chicago, IL - United Center
June 3 - Chicago, IL - United Center
June 6 - Toronto, ON - Air Canada Centre
June 9 - Montreal, QC - Bell Centre
June 12, 14 - Boston, MA - TD North Garden
June 14 - Boston, MA - TD North Garden
June 18, 21 - Philadelphia, PA - Wells Fargo Center
June 24 - Washington, D.C. - Verizon Center
June 29 - Pilton, England - Glastonbury Festival at Worthy Farm
July 6, 13 - London, England - Hyde Park

The Brit Milah (Bris) Ceremony
The basics of this ceremony for an eight-day-old Jewish boy
Excerpted with permission from The Jewish Religion: A Companion, Oxford University Press.
There are no special rules about the place in which the rite is to be carried out, although, if possible, pious Jews prefer it to be done in the synagogue during the morning service. The infant is taken into the room where the circumcision is to take place by a godmother who hands him to a godfather who, in turn, hands him to the sandek (a word of uncertain origin but meaning the man who holds the infant on his knees during the rite). In some communities the honor of acting as godfather and godmother is given to an engaged couple or to a childless married couple in the belief that their participation in the rite will provide a blessing for the couple themselves in the form of a child.
The function of the sandek is usually performed by a grandfather of the infant or by a man learned in the Torah. The sandek is instructed by the man who performs the rite, the mohel, to grasp the infant firmly so that the circumcision can more easily be performed. Only a man highly skilled in the performance of the rite is qualified to be a mohel. Nowadays, there are special organizations for the training of mohalim. A doctor, provided he is Jewish, can serve as a mohel, but many doctors admit that a trained mohel is best qualified to perform the delicate operation.
Before carrying out the circumcision, the mohel recites the benediction: "Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast sanctified us with Thy commandments, and hast given us the command concerning circumcision." As soon as the mohel begins the circumcision the father recites: "Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast sanctified us with Thy commandments, and hast commanded us to make our sons enter the covenant of Abraham our father."
All present then respond: "Even as this child has entered into the covenant, so may he enter into the Torah, the nuptial canopy, and into good deeds."
The mohel then takes a cup of wine and recites over it a prayer for the infant in which he gives the infant his Hebrew name. (A girl is named in a special prayer in the synagogue on the Sabbath after her birth or at a ritual of contemporary innovation, often called a brit bat, a "covenant for a daughter.")
A drop or two of the wine is placed in the infant's mouth and the father drinks some of the wine, sending the rest to the mother who [traditionally] is not normally present in the room when the rite takes place. Afterwards there is a festive meal, and special prayers are recited in the grace after meals, blessing the parents, the infant, the mohel, and the sandek.

The flu is an infection of the nose, throat, and lungs. It spreads easily.
This article discusses influenza types A and B. Another type of the flu is the swine flu (H1N1).
Influenza A; Influenza B
The flu is caused by an influenza virus.
Most people get the flu when they breathe in tiny droplets from coughs or sneezes of someone who has the flu. You can also catch the flu if you touch something with the virus on it, and then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes.
Sometimes people confuse colds and flu. They are different. But, you might have some of the same symptoms. Most people get a cold several times each year. Usually, a person gets the flu once every few years.
Sometimes, you can get a virus that makes you throw up or have diarrhea. Some people call this the "stomach flu." But, that is misleading. It is not a flu. The flu mostly affects your nose, throat, and lungs.
Flu symptoms usually start quickly. You can start to feel sick about 1 - 7 days after you are around the virus. Usually, symptoms start in 2-3 days.
The flu spreads easily. It can affect a large group of people in a very short amount of time. For example, students and workers get sick within 2 or 3 weeks of the flu's arrival in a school or workplace.
The first symptom is a fever between 102 and 106 °F. An adult usually has a lower fever than a child.
Other common symptoms include:
The fever and aches and pains begin to go away on days 2-4. But new symptoms occur, including:
Most symptoms usually go away in 4 - 7 days. But the cough and feeling tired may last for weeks. Sometimes, the fever comes back.
Some people may not feel like eating.
The flu can make asthma, breathing problems, and other long-term illnesses worse.
Most people do not need to see a doctor or nurse when they have flu symptoms. This is because most people are not at risk for a severe flu.
If you are very sick with the flu, you may want to see your doctor or nurse. People who are at high risk for flu complications may also want to see a doctor if they get the flu.
When many people in an area have flu, a doctor can make a diagnosis after hearing about your symptoms. No further testing is needed.
There is a test to detect the flu. It is done by swabbing the nose or throat. Most of the time, test results are available very fast. The test can help your health care provider decide the best treatment.
Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) help lower fever. Sometimes doctors suggest you use both types of medicine. Do NOT use aspirin.
A fever does not need to come all the way down to normal. Most people feel better when the temperature drops by 1 degree.
Over-the-counter cold medicines may make some of your symptoms better. Cough drops or throat sprays will help with your sore throat.
You will need a lot of rest. Drink plenty of liquids. Do not smoke or drink alcohol.
Most people with milder symptoms feel better in 3 - 4 days. They do not need to see a doctor or take antiviral medications.
Doctors may give antiviral drugs to people who get very sick with the flu. You may need these medicines if you are more likely to have flu complications.
These medicines may shorten the time you have symptoms by about 1 day. They work better if you start taking them within 2 days of your first symptoms.
Children at risk of a severe case of the flu may also need these medicines.
Millions of people in the United States get the flu each year. Most get better within a week or two.
But thousands of people with the flu develop pneumonia or a brain infection. They need to stay in the hospital. About 36,000 people in the U.S. die each year of problems from the flu.
Anyone at any age can have serious complications from the flu. Those at highest risk include:
Complications may include:
Call your doctor or nurse if you get the flu and think you are at risk for having complications.
Also call your doctor or nurse if your flu symptoms are very bad and self treatment is not working.
You can take steps to avoid catching or spreading the flu. The best step is to get a flu vaccine.
If you have the flu:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that everyone 6 months and older should receive the influenza vaccine.

Looking for Satellite Radio?Start shopping
What Are Car Kits?
If you'd like to use your Dock & Play satellite radio in the car, you'll need to make sure you have a compatible car kit. Many Dock & Play radio packages include a car kit with the satellite tuner. The accessories in these kits let you power the radio and play the sound over your car stereo.
Car kits come with the accessories you need to use your Dock & Play satellite radio in your vehicle.
You'll generally find the following in a car kit:
- A cradle. Also called a docking station, the cradle is where the radio actually sits. You just have to mount it in a convenient spot on your dash or center console. All power and signal connections are made here.
- A DC power adapter. The power adapter plugs into the cradle at one end, and into your vehicle's power port at the other.
- An antenna. You'll need the antenna to receive the satellite signal. Mount the antenna on the roof of your vehicle, then run the cable to the cradle (see our article on installing an antenna, as well as our satellite radio antenna installation video for an idea of what you'll have to do to install it properly).
A wired FM modulator can help you connect your Dock & Play satellite radio to any car stereo.
Getting the sound to your stereo
There are several ways to get the sound to play through your car stereo:
- Wireless FM transmitter. Many Dock & Play radios feature a built-in wireless FM transmitter, which "broadcasts" the signal over an FM frequency that's unused in your area. The advantage: convenience — you won't have to connect the satellite radio directly to your in-dash stereo. The quality is pretty good, too (as good as standard FM). The downside: interference from FM signals can sometimes creep in, and you'll often have to switch frequencies if you're driving long distances.
- Auxiliary input. If your in-dash stereo has an auxiliary input, you can plug the satellite radio directly into it. You just need to run a patch cable from the satellite radio's cradle to the stereo's input. Because it's a direct connection, this will give you the best sound quality. Not all stereos have auxiliary inputs built in; some require auxiliary input adapters.
- Wired FM modulator. Some Dock & Play radios let you use a wired FM modulator to get the sound to your stereo. Like a wireless transmitter, a wired modulator "broadcasts" the signal over an unused frequency. You plug the modulator directly into your stereo's antenna input, then plug the stereo's antenna into the modulator so you won't lose AM/FM capability. Because it's a direct connection, it's less susceptible to outide interference (although, you may still have to change frequencies on long drives).
- Cassette adapter. If your stereo plays cassettes, you can connect your satellite radio directly to it (via the radio's cradle) with a cassette adapter. It's a convenient, easy connection to make, but the sound quality isn't as good as any of the other options.
Where should I mount the cradle?
Different car kits offer different methods for mounting your Dock & Play satellite radio. On the dash and on the windshield are the two most popular.
Mounting the cradle for your Dock & Play in a convenient spot is essential. You want to make sure you can reach and see it easily, and that it doesn't interfere with any of your vehicle's controls (like the climate controls, for example). Your mounting options include:
- The included mounting bracket. All car cradles come with a mounting bracket with an adhesive pad; you just find where you want to mount it and stick it there.
Universal brackets help you mount your Dock & Play satellite radio in any vehicle.
- A windshield mount. Some Dock & Play kits come with brackets that let you mount the radio on the windshield (as long as it doesn't obstruct your view). A specialized few can also slide onto your sun visor like a garage-door opener. Other windshield mounts are available separately from companies such as Pro.Fit.
- Universal or vehicle-specific mounts. If none of the above methods will work for you, consider a bracket made by companies such as Pro.Fit. There are universal mounts that you can attach to spots on or near your center console. There are also vehicle-specific mounts that help you put your radio in just the right spot — close enough to use easily, but out of the way of your dash controls. These mounts are available for most of the popular vehicles on the road today.

This show was part of the "1997 NYE Run."
This show might be the most under-appreciated show in Phish's history. Ask any fan about this New Year's Run and they'll go on and on about the wonderful show on the 30th. School bus balloons and a confusing but entertaining movie from NYE will be mentioned. They'll be sure to mention the Can't Turn You Loose jam from the 29th. "Yes," the conclusion will be, "that sure was one great run at the Garden."
If the US Air Arena (formerly Capitol Centre) show is brought up at all, it's just to be dismissed. "Sloppy" and "aimless" are adjectives used to describe it. I can't deny that there is some justification for those descriptions, but that's not all that's happening in this show by a long shot. This is far from just being a "warm-up" show. During a New Years Run in one of the most popular years of Phish, they managed to play one of their most experimental shows in their career and no one seems to have noticed it. Edgar Allan Poe would be pleased.
I will confess to some bias of my own here. I took my friend Amanda to this show. It was her first show of any jam band and she got it. It was quite literally a life changing experience to her. Maybe I take the maligning of this show a bit too personally, but Amanda besides, I just popped in this show at random this morning and found myself listening to sections over and over again, fascinated by what had just happened.
The show opens with Julius. It doesn't crackle with energy (although it does have a nice peak), but instead it's long and groovy. This is 1997 after all, not 1994. In the first of many setlist treats, it segues into Cities. Again, this version is slow and groove oriented, but it managed to stay interesting. Especially noteworthy is the end. Trey plays a circular riff on his guitar. In the middle of playing it, he counts "1-2-1-2-3-4" and turns it into the intro of The Curtain. It's very slick and earns the show points right away.
I have to tell one quick story here. In the middle of the set, Amanda turned to me and asked, "Where's the angst?" She meant it as a compliment. She hadn't heard music this optimistic in a long time. The only problem was that she asked me this during The Old Home Place. The line being sung at the time was "I lost my love, I lost my home, and now I wish that I was dead."
"Runaway Jim" followed. There's a great bit in the mid-song break where they play a line quieter and quieter until it's silent halfway through it. They then slam into the next line just like they've been playing it all along. Through an interesting jam section, this version manages to last for fourteen minutes before just coming to a stop. This foreshadowed the jams of the second set: interesting, melodic, but not the highest of energy.
When Funky Bitch came on, I thought I'd show off to Amanda. "Oh this will end the set." Nope. A nice long Split Open and Melt. "Well this will definitely end the set." Nope. Bouncing. Finally Character Zero did, in fact, end the set.
There really isn't much bad that can be said about it. It was long. The setlist was interesting. There were some nice peaks at the end of Julius and Funky Bitch and interesting jams all over the place. Okay, the Farmhouse is one of my least favorite versions, but that's about it. This, by the way, is by far the worse of the two sets.
The second set opener, as far as I know, is a bit of a debut. Axilla I was played but with the Axilla II ending; I like to call it "Axilla 1.5". The ending of this song is quite extended, culminating in a rather eerie sounding space. After nearly ten minutes of playing, it finally segues into Simple.
The Simple jam starts out normal enough, but about eight minutes into it, it leaves the normal universe of Simple to enter a pretty space. The jam is really atypical for a Simple. Unfortunately, it's cut off just as a really interesting groove theme was being explored, due to some feedback that Trey refers to as, "The Ghost of the Machine," in a rather long ramble. It would have been interesting to hear where the jam would have gone, but I guess it wasn't in the cards.
In honor of the feedback, Ghost follows. The jam takes a few minutes to get going, but once they speed things up a bit, the it gets quite interesting. In fact, if this show has a weakness, it's that it gets quite hard to explain how every jam goes to unusual spaces for the song, and is quite interesting.
There are so many highlights left in the show though, from the Mike-led jam in Drowned that transforms into a rather threatening space, to the Roundabout jam in Scent of a Mule, to the high-energy jam in Halleys, to the wall of noise effect Jon and Mike create about 9:30 into the Slave. to list the songs is to list the highlights. If your reason for loving Phish is that they sometimes throw out the normal ways of doing things and improvise, then this is your show. It might not inspire you to put on your dancing shoes, but there's a chance you'll feel the need to get out pen and paper to write an ode to it. Pop this in your CD player sometime, especially if you were one of the people who went to this show and didn't think it was all that great. You have a surprise waiting for you.
TREY: "We're just gettin' rid of that little bit of feedback there - so we could move on with the - UP - there it is again. Somtimes those things creep into the ahh ahh.... the ghost in the machine or something, but Paul always gets rid of them, but ah, we just move right along. I don't know. Maybe this is what this song is about anyway cause. I lot of people told me different things what they think this next tune is about. But maybe it's about the little - um - um weird little feedback things that creep back into the Ghost in the Machine. I'm just mumbling - I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about. LOL LOL....ahhhhh. So back to the music now........hahhhhh..LOL." LOL...........ahhhhhh."
Though the 1997 New Years Run started in Maryland, it was viewed by many as a one-night mid-Atlantic warmup followed by a three-night romp through the Big Apple. And what a romp it was!
As with many fans, and as I had done in 1996, I spent the New Years Run traveling with a large group of fans and friends. There was a distinctly different feeling in the air this year, though. The 1996 Run came on the heels of a solid but unspectacular tour, while the 1997 Run came at the close of one of the most exciting Phish years ever. I was lucky enough to catch a few shows earlier in the year (most notably the lightning-inflected Raleigh show in the summer and the underrated Winston-Salem show in the fall), but most of the hose I felt was through tapes of the then-recent Hampton extravaganza and shows like Rochester and Auburn Hills. None of this prepared me for the four night Run.
Sure enough, Landover was a warm-up. A strong warm-up, mind you, but definitely a warm-up. There were some minor technical problems (the ghost in the machine, according to Trey) and some rough spots, but it was, overall, a solid Phish show. My fondest memory of that show was visual rather than musical. My group was scattered around the arena but six of us wound up in the same section on the Page side of the building. During the second set, as we looked across the arena, we saw that some fans had strung a series of glowrings together. The glowrings were being passed around a few rows of that section, bending and gyrating with the music, seemingly under some greater control than the hands that held them. I had gotten somewhat used to seeing and hearing about glowstick wars through the summer and fall of 1997, but this innovative (and harmless) visual spectacle was incredible to watch.
This second set is awesome. The axilla>simple is amazing. Some beautiful type 2 space on the simple. The feedback does not interfere with the show what so ever, and does not effect an incredible ghost form occurring.
The drowned was a typical jammed out drowned, good but not incredible.
The SOAMule jam was awesome! the round about teases are great!
There are some really great jammed halleys from '97, this is not one of them. This one isnt bad but cant hold a candle to some of them like, hampton.
All in all, this is a very solid show. As i said before, It's flawlessly played, but at times just a little typical. In the 2 month span of nov-december 97, the boys played some of their most memorable shows. They cant all the auburn hill, hampton or the nutter, right?

With Christmas behind us (see you next year, Love Actually) and Valentine's Day around the corner, it's officially open season for romantic comedies. And who loves romantic comedies more than Mindy Kaling/Mindy Lahiri, creator of the best romantic comedy on TV/lovable OBGYN? Both Kaling and her fictional counterpart are confessed Nora Ephron fanatics – but the real question is, which one is their favorite?
It's a question that many of us, in one point in our lives, will face: You've Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle? Some argue that YGM is a weak imitation of SIS, while others find that the digital rom-com is actually more romantic – after all, it's filled with that witty banter that's been a genre mainstay since before the days of The Taming of the Shrew... a factor that Sleepless misses out on. The Washington-set romance, on the other hand, has that magical (dare I say fantasy-like?) notion of love at first sight. It's a tough battle for sure (and that's not even factoring When Harry Met Sally into the mix).
There are many Ephron references sprinkled like Easter eggs throughout the series – there's the fact that Mindy takes personal offense that Danny refers to When Harry Met Sally as "When Doofus Met Dummy." There's even an episode laden with mistaken identity, technology-propelled flirting entitled "You've Got Sext."
But her definitive favorite is revealed in "Harry and Mindy," the second part of a two-episode arc where Mindy is forced to play the role of side character to B.J. Novak and Eva Amurri's blossoming romance. Despite (or perhaps in support of) the obvious When Harry Met Sally parallels, the cold open finds Mindy in the lobby of the Empire State Building: it turns out she likes to hang out there in hopes of locking eyes with that special someone across the room, a la "the second best romantic comedy Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks ever made, Sleepless in Seattle." So unless she really has a thing for Joe vs. the Volcano, it looks like You've Got Mail is the winner.
It's a sentiment that creator/star/namesake Mindy Kaling would agree with – after all, she once named You've Got Mail as "the most soul matey of soul mate movies," and it doesn't get much more soul matey than that.
Now that we know the Mindys' favorite Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks helmed flick, it's time to turn the question over to you: Sleepless in Seattle or You've Got Mail?
Oh, and don't forget: Chris Messina played a small role in You've Got Mail. (But don't let that sway your answer).

What should I watch for while using this medicine?Visit your health care professional or doctor for regular checks on your progress. To control your diabetes you must use this medicine regularly and follow a diet and exercise schedule. Checking and recording your blood sugar and urine ketone levels regularly is important. Use a blood sugar measuring device before you treat high or low blood sugar.
Always carry a quick-source of sugar with you in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Examples include hard sugar candy or glucose tablets.

Make sure that you have the right kind of syringe for the type of insulin you use. Try not to change the brand and type of insulin or syringe unless your health care professional or doctor tells you to. Switching insulin brand or type can cause dangerously high or low blood sugar. Always keep an extra supply of insulin, syringes, and needles on hand. Use a syringe one time only. Throw away syringe and needle in a closed container to prevent accidental needle sticks.

Opened vials (vials currently in use) may be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature, at approximately 30 degrees C (86 degrees F) or cooler.

Just wanted to let all TT members that have trouble filling out the prototype survey.When entering the survey website,use lower case lettering for titleist prototype and you should be able to access the website....
Same issue, trying access site for survey, tried lower case, still cannot get to survey ?
Thanks for update Mike D I always enjoy testing balls for Titleist
I was pretty surprised when I received the test balls in the mail. I tested the prototype (w/black number) and TBH, I didn't like it. I compared it to both the ProV1 and the ProV1x and IMO, the ball lacked feel. It also seemed a little shorter too. After several holes of comparison, I had enough and put the ball back in my bag (I still have all three of the test balls). My bud, who also plays the ProV1/ProV1x exclusively, wanted to test it as well. So, he tried it for a few holes. His assessment echoed mine. We both felt the ball was "numb" or "dead"--especially with woods and long irons. It didn't have that familiar "pop" that is associated with the ProV1 regardless whether it's the standard or x.
Nonetheless, I just wanted to thank Titleist for the opportunity to test and give feedback.
I got the black numbered test balls and I loved them. Please tell me what they are so I can buy some. Great distance, held the green very well, great feel off the putter. Please send me another dozen to test! I'm down to my last one. Thanks so much!
I had the same problem everything is lower case except the last part. /TitleistPrototype .The T and P have to be upper case
Thanks for the update on the survey Mike. I tested the red numbered balls and absolutely loved them.
The golf balls felt just like the 2013 ProV1 that Methodist University uses for the range. Great golf ball and love getting sent these prototypes
These balls were really terrific.Great contol on the short game,solid off the putter and straight and long off the driver.Had to besome type of Pro V's.What are they because I will buy these balss.
I received your Prototype balls yesterday. Since I am New Hampshire, I will have to wait until next summer to try your balls. The problem is that I will comparing them to your Titleist IV. I have used Titleist balls for the past 50 years.
I was very happy to be select for this project.Thank you team Titleist.Beta Testing Division
I don't know what balls Im playing but, I'm hitting this ball further. The prototype ball responds great during driving and my short game makes love to the reaction I get when chiping and pitching the ball. I played a ball to get a true reaction and I tried different shoots during actual paly. Only problem I have is where can I get more of these balls It releases well when I bump and run and response well when using a knock down shoot on windy day. My ball striking with my iron is a thing of beauty. It may not be the ball, but it sure help my game. Oh, incidently, my hole bag is Titleist. Im not a pro but I love my clubs and my clubs love these balls. Cannot Wait to hit that D913 driver with these balls. Now responding to the Instruction you sent with the test ball.
* The ball perform excellent with in 60 yards remind me of a prov. Tried my 52-8 and my 60-4 wedges great reaction
* They reponded well to my wedges had no problem getting the spin reaction I wanted with my AP2
*.Since, they're all marked the same I cannot say which ball spins well of the tee, but I had no problems getting back spin at 170 yard on a par 3 hole.
* I use Forge Irons only I jude the distance of a ball from 220 yards in. If , a ball reponse well when struck by a 3 iron at 220 and rolls at lease 10' to 15' away from the pin. I'm a happy golfer.
* I normally strike a ball from the tee box at least 300 plus but this ball rolled 30 extra yards 30' from the pen.
* the ball feel like any standard ball, but reponds like a prov1
* don't understand the last question, but the balls that were sent to me repond like prov's. you call send another 24 to go with the 3 you sent. Marking with different number will enable me to give a better test report.
* Again Thank you for picking me, for this Test ( Ernest Reaves)

Cardinals impressive in first win
Football season is here and the St. Mary Cardinals are more than ready, at least they seemed to be during their 40-14 win over DeSmet-Iroquois Friday night.The season-opening road victory was due in large part to a strong run game and an equally impressive defensive."Our offensive line played very well in the second half and our defense played well throughout the game, " said Ross Flemmer, Cardinal head coach.Overall, the Cardinals accumulated 320 total yards while holding DeSmet-Iroquois to only 114.For the Cardinals offense, Josh Brown rushed for 200 yards on 10 carries and two scores, while Ben Bunkers added 78 yards on the ground and two scores of his own, one if which was the result of a punt return.Other contributors for St. Mary: Wes Heinricy found Noah Fiegen for a 23-yard touchdown pass, and Christian Schneiders scored on a 6-yard run.
Brown also stood out on defense with 5.5 tackles and an interception. Leon Maxwell also recorded 5.5 tackles for St. Mary. But it was Jared Scholten's 9.5 stops that led the team in that statistic."The kids played hard. We had a few let downs that we need to correct, but we did a lot of good things," Flemmer said. "We need to correct our penalties and turnovers before next week, but I feel we can do that and we will be able to be a much better team."The Cardinals host Castlewood Friday at Rickeman Field.

"My favorite book...buy it"
I have over 150 Audible books and Unbroken is now my absolute favorite. The story just kept getting better and better throughout. It was a wild roller coaster ride and just when you knew it couldn't get any worse for Louie something unexpected happened. Great story with a great ending. Buy this book.
"Great book, Great Narrator...Yes it's true!"
This was overall a great book and a great listen. I was put off initially by all of the negative reviews about the narration. They were true in that the narrator mispronounced a lot of words. Yes, I agree it is distracting and yes, where is the editing that should have caught these gaffs. If you can set aside the mispronunciations the narrator did an outstanding job. My favorite was the pronunciation for pseudo. He pronounced it sway-doe. It took me just a bit to figure that one out. Just see it as a game and get beyond the mistakes. Otherwise the writing is very engrossing and the narration is one of the best I have experienced (with the caveat about mispronounced words). Definitely 5 stars.
"Good in a few places, average to boring in most"
I had high hopes for this book but overall it was a disappointment.
My title says it all for me.
"Good book, great character"
I enjoyed the character of Alexander Hamilton better in a previous book by Chernow but this book on Washington was a better and more interesting read/listen.
"Throw the politicians out before it's too late!"
Oops we already tried that.
Great history and great recommendations about what to do from here.
This is a very worthwhile read/listen. Given our political landscape and the calibre of our politicians and electorate I believe we have ten to twenty years before our currency collapses and/or we default. Our nation is on an unstoppable downward spiral. Nice job on the book though.
"4 stars if you like Gandhi, 2 stars if you don't"
If you enjoyed the movie Gandhi you will probably enjoy this book. It adds more interesting details on a personal level. If Gandhi is not your thing the the book will not be a page turner.
"Worth the listen"
Good insight on the inner workings of a Moslem led government. This proves the value to me the value of a separation of church and state.
"Too much swearing for me"
I love war history but have had to give up on this genre of books. Try Unbroken for a fantastic read and story. Unbroken has a very bare-bones minimum of foul language.
"Good story"
It was amazing to me how little these art treasures were valued by the FBI hierarchy and how few resources were allocated for their recovery.
"The book is much better than the radio show"
I gave up listening to Savage and Hannity on the radio years ago because of the caustic and disrespectful way they treat their call-in listeners who dare to have an alternative point of view. I myself am very conservative and have given up on the Republican Party also. The Republicans are so close to the Democrats in philosophy and actions that there is realistically no major political options for the average American. I believe Ron Paul is the only current politician who offers any viable political alternatives to our current economic and political mess. I also believe Ron Paul is unelectable and is just a voice in the wilderness. The American politicians from both parties are taking a course of action that will sooner or later lead us to an economic crisis that will lead America into chaos. Just how soon is the real issue.
"A real guy with some Hollywood episodes"
I enjoyed this book. Patrick and his wife came off as real people who, despite living and working in Hollywood, maintained their marriage and perspective.
