Deron Williams says he may need surgery on both ankles this summer
May 15, 2014, 7:49 PM EDT
Let's start here: Brooklyn owes Deron Williams $63 million over the next three seasons. Fully guaranteed.
Williams is a good point guard — 16 points a game, true shooting percentage of .564, 6.1 assists to 2.2 turnovers a game — but he is no longer great. Physically his chronic ankle issues have slowed him, he is not the same guy as the one offered that massive contract.
And things are not getting a whole lot better — he said he likely needs surgery on both ankles again this summer.
An MRI is coming Friday but Williams seems to think there will be surgery, he told ESPNNewYork.com.
"I think so. I think it is," Williams replied Thursday when asked about the possibility of undergoing surgery. "Just to clean [stuff out], it's nothing major."
Three times this season Williams had PRP blood platelet injections and cortisone injections in his ankle, he also had an anti-inflammatory injection before Game 7 against the Raptors. All of that allowed him to play, but he's not the player that used to be discussed in the same sentence as Chris Paul.
Williams was frustrated in the wake of the Nets loss to the Heat — point guard is a position where teams try to exploit the Heat but Williams didn't take great advantage of that.
"I feel like I've kind of let people down, so I don't like feeling like that," Williams said. "I take my job seriously, I work hard in the offseason, I work hard every day. It's just real frustrating not to be able to play how I'm capable of playing."
The Nets are in a bind this summer, with a massive payroll for an aging roster. There are only a couple ways they can realistically improve, and a healthy Deron Williams is one of them.

In order for Deron Williams to no longer be great, he would have to have been great to begin with… which he never was. Nets way over paid and Deron Williams has always been over hyped. It was easy for him to stand out because when he was with the Jazz there wasn't much talent around him.
- apkyletexas - May 15, 2014 at 9:33 PM
In the 2007 playoffs, he was GREAT. Of course, that was seven years ago…
- sugarkeyboards - May 16, 2014 at 2:07 PM
those jazz teams had Carlos Boozer/Andrei Kirilenko/Al Jefferson in their primes, I'm not saying he was playing with a team of all stars but there were some really good players on those teams. Chris Paul didnt play with much talent till he went to LA
- mytthor - May 18, 2014 at 11:03 PM
Tyson Chandler, David West, Peja, Birdman. Don't kid yourself. Deron was legit when he was young, when Jerry Sloan had him on the straight and narrow.
- csbanter - May 15, 2014 at 8:09 PM
He should've had the surgery this year. Why the delay ? After elimination this comes to surface. The Nets are stuck with his ankles and Brook Lopez bad foot.
- readysethike - May 15, 2014 at 8:22 PM
and Joe Johnsons contract
- trevor123698 - May 15, 2014 at 10:44 PM
surgery is useless. see my comment below for the truth. and if they delete it then google "dr joel wallach joint replacement and arthritis"
- Aberam - May 16, 2014 at 5:10 PM
This is not new. NY media has talked about this quite a bit.
- mnsadsportsfan - May 15, 2014 at 10:53 PM
Deron Williams is extremely overrated period end of story.
- themagicfanguy - May 15, 2014 at 11:03 PM
Of course he does, that's what happens when you get your ankles broken on almost every play.
- phaden27 - May 16, 2014 at 1:32 AM
Lowry did him that bad eh?
- bougin89 - May 16, 2014 at 10:03 AM
Personally I've had multiple ankle sprains and a fracture on my right ankle. I've had cortizone shots, scoped once, it's helps for a little bit but it doesn't last long. If you tear enough cartilage off the bone you're never going to be the same. I feel my bone on bone ankle even just walking up one flight of stairs. In my "rec league basketball stage of life" double headers are now pretty challenging. The worst is the walk to the car afterwards once your adrenaline calms down…

Wismar's gigantic market square
The Marienkirche tower presides over what some sources claim to be the largest market square in Germany (although frankly I have my doubts about whether this is really true or not). Regardless of its relative size ranking, the square is a vast space so disproportionate to the modestly compact size of the rest of the town that I found it almost impossible to imagine it half way full.
With an area of approximately 10,000 square metres, it is about the same size as the Old Town Square in Prague or the Grote Markt Square in Brussels - but located in the heart of a town that has only a tiny fraction of the population of these cities. I imagine that it would probably be particularly beautiful during its famous Christmas market, which runs from late November to late December each year (but as I'm a bit of a Christmas junkie, I probably think that every Northern and Central European city square is at its best over that period!).
All that remains of the massive Marienkirche
The Marienkirche (Church of Mary) was the tallest of Wismar's three Gothic churches, and so inevitably attracted the attention of the squadron of bombers that was sent to decimate Wismar during mid April 1945 - sadly only three weeks before the end of the war.
In 1960, the East German authorities razed the damaged remains of the church - with the exception of the tower - in what has been reported as a punitive act of cultural vandalism designed to punish those townsfolk who valued the Marienkiche's religious and cultural significance.
The Marienkirche's tower is 82m high and looms over the Wismar skyline from virtually every angle, making it a useful landmark for navigation.
The quietly contemplative Church of St Nikolai
Of all the Red Brick Gothic churches we visited in this part of the world - and that was a lot - St Nikolai in Wismar was my unquestionable favourite. It sits on the northern fringe of the old town, in a quietly picturesque location adjacent to a small canal and away from the main thoroughfare. It is a place that encourages contemplation and feels like a church that is still in use as a regular place of worship, rather than just a tourist attraction.
St Nikolai is located close to the port and was built to serve Wismar's fishing and seafaring community - in a touching nod to the town's longstanding relationship with Sweden, there is an altar specifically dedicated to Swedish sailors. It is a massive church with three aisles and immensely high ceilings and was designed on such a vast scale that it took nearly 125 years to build (being only completed in 1508).
It was the only one of the three large Gothic churches to survive intact from the World War II bombing raid. However, it did not emerge completely unscathed, as some of its stunning wood carvings were burned as firewood by desperate townsfolk in their attempt to survive the last winter of the war. Other works of art were saved by bricking them behind a false wall in the church to prevent them being looted. Today it houses some gorgeous ecclesiastical art salvaged from other locations - most notably the jawdroppingly beautiful Altar of Martyrs, which was originally located in a Dominican friary.
Neue Kirche - a Notkirche by Otto Bartning
The New Church next to the ruin of Marienkirche takes us back to the times of destruction and need after the end of the war. Among the debris, people needed consolation and prayed for a better future. Rebuilding Marienkirche and Georgenkirche was (and still is) a distant dream. As a substitute the small Neue Kirche was built next to the ruin of Marienkirche in 1951. Provisories often have a long life...
The parishes needed new churches that were cheap, easy to build and didn't look too much like barracks. In 1948 the architect Otto Bartning, famous for his protestant church architecture since the 1920s, developed a construction kit, a skeleton of prefabricated wooden frames that could be set up in a day or two. The walls were then filled with bricks from the debris, a work the parish people could do by themselves. Windows and doors were again prefabricated.
About 50 of these so-called "Notkirchen" were built all over Germany in the years 1948-1951 (so Wismar is one of the latest). They show the architect's genius even more than his big pre-war buildings. From practically nothing he created rooms of timeless beauty. Wood and bricks make a warm, homely atmosphere.
The altar and the bronze baptismal font are medieval pieces from Marienkirche that have been saved. They were transferred into the new church and are still in use.

Hanseatic Version of Art Nouveau
In market square and next to Alter Schwede, this house was built around 1900 when Jugendstil was en vogue. Its stepped gable is an interesting translation of Hanseatic brick gothic architecture into the language of art nouveau.
- Architecture
The house of the main priest at Marienkirche in a brick gothic building, erected around 1450. The stepped gable must be the most beautiful of its kind in Wismar – right now (summer 2009) the building is in restauro and hidden behind scaffolding. All you get is a glimpse through gaps in the plastic foil.

Old Town: Lübsche Straße
The main street to the west was named after the direction it leads to. Lübsch, lübisch is the adjective that refers to the city of Lübeck.
The wide street is accompanied by the typical gable facades from all eras, some painted in bright colours.
Heilig-Geist-Hospital is the main sight in this street (see separate tip).

Schabbellhaus and Historical Museum
Wismar's mayor Hinrich Schabbell had the house and brewery built in 1596-1571. He employed the same Dutch architect who designed the Wasserkunst a few years later. It was one of the earliest renaissance buildings along the Baltic Sea coast and shows the typical Dutch "bacon layer" design with white limestone ornaments in the red brick (now plastered and painted) wall.
The building hosts the historical museum which presents the culture and history of the city and its surroundings. The original Schwedenköpfe can be admired here, as well as Nix und Nixe* from the Wasserkunst. The medieval past as member of the Hansa is presented, another part of the exhibition presents the Swedish era. The art collection of an adventurous sailor from Wismar who travelled the whole world and finally settled in Australia together with his two sisters is shown. The industry is represented by the shipyards and the train factory. Etc…
*Nix and Nixe (photo 4), a male and a female water spirit, served as water taps inside the Wasserkunst, later they were transferred to the outside. In the 19th century they were removed "for reasons of morality" - hmmm, understandable...
The museum is not big, you can comfortably see everything in 30-60 minutes. For English speaking visitors there are booklets with explanations about the more important pieces to be borrowed in every room.

Nikolai Church, Interior
The huge church is even more impressive from inside. The central nave is 37 m high and one of the highest in Germany. This structure is completely built from bricks.
Nikolai hosts several art works that belong to the two other, destroyed churches, Marienkirche and Georgenkirche. Unlike those the building is intact and fully functional as a church, so it gets less attention, but St Nikolai is in urgent need of restoration, too.
The church is open in the daytime. Donations for the restoration are welcome.

The Harbour
The old harbour basin closest to the old town is still about the same size as in the middle ages. The harbour has extended, the outer parts are now a small but modern cargo port for wood, grain, chemicals and other goods. Then there are the shipyards. The economical crisis has hit Wismar's harbour with full force. Rumours about the shipyards going bankrupt are around every now and then.
Walk the promenade along the old harbour basin for views of the harbour, the bay and the old town skyline. If you are lucky the Wismaria is in, a reconstructed medieval Hansa ship, which adds a lot to the flair.

Old Town: The Pedestrian Malls
Krämerstraße, Hinter dem Rathaus and Altwismarstraße are the city's shopping streets and pedestrian zone. There is a lot of old architecture along these streets mixed with modern buildings. Here is the liveliest part of the city and the streets have smooth stone pavement instead of the usual cobblestone.

Fürstenhof – the Ducal Palace
The Ducal palace was the seat of the Dukes of Mecklenburg until 1648. The building has an L-shape. The western wing is the older, it was built in 1512-1513 and still shows gothic 'curtain' windows. The northern wing was built in 1553-1555 and adopts the Italian renaissance, thus the 'modern' style of those times. Its façade is richly decorated with figures and ornaments in limestone and terracotta.
After Wismar became property of Sweden in 1648, the building became the seat of the highest Swedish law court for the North-German possessions. Nowadays it hosts the regional law court.

Baumhaus in the Harbour
The "tree house" was the house of an important official in the harbour who was in charge of opening and closing the "tree". The "tree" was a long wooden beam which was attached to two poles to close the harbour basin at night and in danger to keep ship from entering and exiting.
Those two poles used to be decorated with the woodcarved Schwedenköpfe (Swedish heads). Copies of these are now put up in front of the Baumhaus, the originals are at Schabbellhaus museum.

Georgenkirche – Church of St George
The Church of St George, another huge brick gothic building, was severely damaged by World War II bombs. The DDR administration did not bother with rebuilding the ruin. At least it was not blown up like Marienkirche. The outer walls and arcades were still standing but without a roof. They were left as they were for 40 years.
In 1990 construction works began. In the meantime the vaults and the roofs have been closed and the facades repaired. An altar has been put up in the choir, which is already used for church services. The rest of the interior is still a construction site. Works are in progress, though. There is hope for this impressive building.

See the Exhibition and Donate a Brick
The people of Wismar dream of rebuilding Marienkirche. The surrounding walls and pillars have already been rebuilt up to a height of about 1 metre. If you want to help to make the impossible come true, you can support the project by donating a brick. For 10 € you receive a certificate and a brick which you can sign with the date and your name or whatever you want to write on it. These bricks will be used for building so your signature will remain in the church wall forever.
I donated one in the name of my little Australian travel companion…
An exhibition in and around the steeple shows more about the history of Marienkirche, a model of what it looked like, historical building machinery and a brickmaker's workshop.

Romance, history, colorful personalities. Restaurants abound, and the Waterfront has a new restaurant, Lungomare, that's tops for food and service.

NYT Reports Steve Jobs' Exoneration 129

I don't see any possible motive for Jobs to do this other than to see just how well the Reality Distortion Field(tm) works.
I don't think you understand how the billionaire mind works. They don't think of much of motivation when dealing with such trivial amounts of money. When you find a quarter in the vending machine change slot, how much effort do you exert to find the proper owner. What were your motivations in putting it in your pocket?
I'm sure Steve feels the same way. He had a bunch of worthless options, he traded them in for some that aren't worthless. So he had to fake a board meeting. What's the big deal? It's only 1/10,000th of the value of the company that he's pocketing. Divide the amount by the (my estimate) 3 million Apple share holders and it's only a bit more than 2 bucks a piece. They can afford that. Besides, he's entitled to that money because he doesn't take a salary and after all when they gave him the (now worthless) options a while back, they were worth something. I'm sure Steve feels that he was owed...

Hiro: I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me, Violet, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over, sideways and under
On an armored Baymax ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
*and the rest of the lyrics remain the same*
Just became a HiroxViolet shipper.
Just wanted to do a manip of these to in their super-suits
I must confess. Despite Hiro being a genius, I think he may be oblivious to romance when it's happening to him.
But I think he will use Baymax cuteness to pick up girls, literally
"sigh" I guess Hiro and Violet can only be together in Disney Infinity
So guess who saw "Big Hero 6," and Loved it? (Answer: This Guy)
When the movie was over my brain did it's thing about comparing Disney movies to one another and Disney Pixar's "The Incredibles," came to mind. And then Violet and Hiro as couple became my secret favoutire pairing.
Imagine my surprise when I found this short Youtube video of them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOOLEv…
Personally to me, they are most compatiable.
(Incoming Spoilers for Big Hero 6)
They are both 14. According to most resources Violet is indeed 14 and Hiro is claimed to be 14 in the movie. Although Violet may be taller or Hiro is a bit of a runt.
(But I have a funny thought during the years and thanks to puberty, Violet and Hiro will be the same height when they're 16 and when they reach, 18 Hiro will be taller than her, not far off but enough for him to be a little smug about it)
Both are Superheroes. Even though Violet was born with her powers like her family.
Hiro has a High IQ and is able to build himself, Baymax and his friends armored suits and weapons based on his friends area of expertise. (before any of you say Hiro ISN'T a SUPERhero because he doesn't have SUPER-Powers, take a good look on what advertisement and kids refer to Ironman and Batman)
Violet is part of a team that's with her family (and honorarary Uncle Fro-Zone at times). Hiro's Team consists of both his and Tadashi's friends. So in other words, their loved ones
And both experinced on not fitting in. Due to her powers, Violet didn't feel normal and never fit in with her peers at school.
With Hiro it's hard to say, but if he completed High School at age 13 with his intellect. It sorta implied if he had close friends his age in school he might've stayed. He almost didn't go to University to be "taught stuff he already knows" until big bro Tadashi convinced him otherwise.
I can only hope there are other HiroxViolet but looking Violet's passed crossover couple with Wilbur from "Meet the Robinsons," with a lot of surprising drawn-fanart of them both. I have a feeling HiroxViolet doesn't really have a chance.
But I'll be happy with the few that do support Hiro and Violet.

Homeopathy and homeopathic medicine can often be a new and intriguing way to prevent and treat various diseases and illnesses. Essentially, homeopathy is medicine derived from nature. Homeopathic remedies are based on a natural medical science that works with your body to stimulate your own defenses. Conventional drugs often cause side effects because they work by suppressing symptoms. Homeopathic Medicine relieves symptoms by helping to put your body's systems into proper balance. Because Homeopathic medicine support the body's own defenses, they do not cause side effects. A system for treating disease based on the administration of minute doses of a drug that in massive amounts produces symptoms in healthy individuals similar to those of the disease itself. Common ailments and illnesses treated by homepathy include ear aches, hot flashes, insect bites, colds, flu, motion sickness, anxiety, warts and even hangovers. Homeopathic medicine is easily and readily available in most natural and organic stores, online venues and even at your local naturopath's office. The major brands include are: Boiron, Dolisos, Hyland's, Nelsons, Bach Flower Remedies and Standard Homeopathic. Homeopathic medicines are available anywhere including Unit-Dose and Multi-Dose pellets in various sizes, Tablets, Liquid Dilutions and Tinctures, as well as Ointments, Creams, Gels, lotions, Syrups, Pastes and more. A few common homepathic medicines include: Allium Cepa (Colds, allergy) Argentum Nitricum (Anxiety) Belladonna (fever & colds) Cocculus Indicus (motion sickness) Coffea Cruda (Insomnia & stress) Euphrasia (Allergy, hay fever) Nux Vomica (Hang over) Pulsatilla (nasal congestion) Sabina (heavy menstruation) Thuja Occidentalis (Warts) The next time you get sick or feel a little off-- it might be a good time to try this more natural and non-side effect causing medicine.

Tulsa County Solider Remembered
By AP
Tulsa, OK –
TULSA, Okla. (AP) A memorial service was held in Tulsa for a 26-year-old Collinsville soldier killed in Afghanistan.
The service for Spc. Christopher Horton wa at Tulsa's First United Methodist Church, 1115 S. Boulder Ave.
Horton was among three Oklahoma National Guard soldiers killed Sept. 9 in Paktia Province when their team was hit by small arms fire. Also killed in the attack were 26-year-old Sgt. Bret Isenhower of Seminole and 20-year-old Pfc. Tony Potter of Okmulgee.
Horton was a graduate of the Missouri Military Academy who enlisted in the Oklahoma National Guard in 2008. He received numerous awards and decorations, including the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.

I doubt I would see much improvement at this point with the coated glass but every little bit helps.
You can get coated optical glass from Schneider Optics (Schneider's U.S. arm), cut and bevelled. For pieces in that size they will source it from their cinema/TV filter division. That's what I ended up going with in my Saunders 4550xl 4x5 carrier. In my 35mm carrier for the same enlarger I was able to use Schneider/B+W MRC "Multi Resistant Coating" glass cut from a clear B+W filter. As noted earlier, however, I can't see any difference in print quality compared with the non-coated glass that came with the carriers. And these modifications were not cheap.

It's a Real Steal!®
metroblues® Skinny Leggings: A metrostyle signature style! These stretch leggings are perfect partners to this season's must-have tunics and bigshirts. Plus, the skinny leg style looks great with heels, flats or tucked into boots.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 3.30 out of 23 votes cast
I am thin...and young-looking. these are by far the best leggings i have bought in a long time!! the stretch denim comes in several different shades of denim...plus black and white. i am 5 feet 4 inches tall so i get the petite always!! i am not middle aged nor am i overweight but these fit tight and look ma!!--no zippers...snaps or bulgy belt loops!
Just Right!!!
I take pride in looking nice when I am in public. I bought two pair in white. The stretch waist band fits perfectly over my round belly and gives me lots of comfort.The length is perfect with my two inch heels or flats. If you are middle aged or need to lose a few pounds, I say go ahead and get a couple pair. You will feel good in these until you lose weight.

Ankle tight skinny jean
Yiks! I have thin legs and ankles but this jean is tight around the ankle and very hard to get over my foot.Fabric is hard to the touch. Not comfy at all.Will do for now for running errands. Definitely not for casual/nice wear.
Bring back Forenza!
I am so disappointed with these. When you had Forenza brand, the pants were wonderful and fit perfectly. These new one are horrible. The legs are baggy and the material is cheap. I sent my order back. If you can no longer provide Forenza, I probably won't order again.
United States
Poor Wuality
I did not like the way they fit I am returning them.
Lormna, MS
Okay, but....
Well....I was so excited to finally find skinny jean leggings at a really great price....but...the delivered product does not match the tight ankle fit shown in the online picture.....but b/c the quality, color, and fit at only $19.99, I'll throw them on the sewing machine and taper the ankles at the seams.....then they'll look perfecto w/my strappy heels!
Great fit, nice and comfy, but also tailored looking so that I look trim!I like that there's options in terms of different denim looks. So I got the Blue Lagoon, which is sweetly dark but still looks a little faded, in a very nice way. Plus I also got a pair that is a gorgeous pale blue.Don't ever let this product go out of stock. It's a classic!
Meadville, PA
Poor Quality and Fit
I ordered these in a size larger than I usually wear because, in the past, I've had to order a size larger from this website. However, they were way too big. I returned them and re-ordered in a smaller size. These fit better and I will keep them, but they are not the quality for the same item that I've bought from Metrostyle in the past. They are baggy through the hips and upper legs, but do fit well around the lower leg and ankle. My legs and ankles are not large. I was surprised that the quality was not the usual excellent Metrostyle quality. I do recommend them because the price is good as are the colors.
Orange Park, FL
I never took them out of the package so I cannot comment about the fit. The dye job was streky and unevenly done. They looked damaged. Also they were not turquoise or lagoon they were almost exactly the same color as the dark denim.
Poor choice
I am returning these. The knees were baggy and the lower leg was poorly fitted. The contrast stitching is orange and very noticeable. It makes them look like work jeans instead of stylish leggings.
Nearly Perfect
You have to wash them carefully as the dye tends to fade too quickly for my taste. The fit and style are exactly as describe and the price cannot be beat.
My favorite jeans!
I have two pairs of these jeans and have worn them and worn them, and they don't wear out. I have trouble finding talls that are long enough, and these are. They're soooo comfortable, and slimming, and I LOVE them! I'm buying three more while they're on sale!
San Antonio
so so
I don't mind that they are thin, I prefer that feel for comfort. They seemed to run a bit small/tight, and were quite long for petites. I'm about 5'4 and thought that would be an ankle length, but they are way longer than that. Not cost effective to return, since metrostyle has very high shipping fees, both ways. I would not buy these again, also fabric was not the softest.
cleveland, oh
I want 10 more
Best fit and deal I ever got!!!!
New London, CT
Changing Quality
I have worn Metro Blues Skinny Leggings for several years. I have them in brown, dark denim and black. All three pair are a medium/heavy weight denim material. The last pair I purchased are wine and the weight of the material is noticeably thinner. The seams are a scant 3/8" (prone to rip). They do not have the wearing ease that the previous pairs did (I am 14 pounds lighter). Please go back to your original cut and fabric.
Newark, NJ
Not as described
I don't call these leggings. They are just straight leg elastic waistband jeans. Got the grey. Too loose for tucking in my boots.
These are too loose fitting to be called "leggings" -- they are cotton stretch pants with an elastic waist. They are very comfortable, but not at all what I expected. I bought the black ones, everything fuzzy sticks to them so they never look clean. They are shrinking every time I wash them, and pretty soon they will be too short to wear.
Monrovia, CA
Love'em !
I have worn Metro Blues for years! They fit great, fade just right, and NEVER wear out.I have several pairs of these jeans in different colors, from dark navy to faded denim and one black pair that has faded handsomely to a charcoal gray over about 8 years of wear. Without a doubt, the Metro Blues skinny leg jeans are by far my favorites !
Flowery Branch, GA
The only ones
I do not own any other pants than these. I have over 25 pairs in all colors. Every year new colors come out and I add them to my collection. Don't ever take them away!
Miami, fl
Light wash color not as pictured
The light wash leggings are not nearly as light as the picture. In fact, there is very little difference between the light wash and the vintage.They fit great, though, and are very comfortable. I had to take the legs in because I like a slim fit.
Debbi Johnson Higginbotham
Huntsville, AL
Skinny Jeans
I was concerned after I purchased praying and hoping these would look good..WOW! These are amazing..I'm 5 ft. 10 and got the medium tall in black..The black is very very black and the length is fabulous! I don't tuck in anything anyway, so the elastic waist is really comfortable versus the button jeans..Just SO SO Hapoy with these, and I rarely write reviews!
Candace Schott
Centrevill,e VA
Simply the Best!
I have several pairs of these leggings. They are so comfortable. The fabric is very soft, & there is just enough stretch for a great fit. These should be a staple for any wardrobe. The price is always great. These are the only leggings I buy. They always fit, whereas store brands are very inconsistent. If you have the means, buy one in every color!
Bama Fashionista
Skinny Leggings
These pants run true to size. Fabric is for late spring to early fall wear. For the sale price, they are a great addition to a casual wardrobe.

What percent of people avoid playing with you ?

33% of people avoid me, yet under details have have all 0s . So why would so many people avoid me ? Heck I don't even play on live that much .
This that many people avoiding you normal ?
Bender: Well, everybody, I just saved a turtle. What have you done with your lives?
It may be you've only had 3 people review you.
Last I checked I had 20% avoid me, and I'm pretty sure I only have 5 people who have submitted a review. I'm also pretty sure it was someone on Halo 3, thinking I sucked at the game. And I do. That's something I never really liked about online multiplayer. You try to jump in and you get your ass kicked because everyone's better than you, and you don't get a chance to get any better other than playing the campaign (if the campaign does have the same base gameplay as the multiplayer) because everyone just tears you apart in seconds. It's even worse on CoD. I can at least do a little better than bad on Halo, but I can't even get one kill in CoD.
And just because I know someone will read this into this, I'll save you some time: I suck at first-person shooters and that's one of the reasons why I don't like them.
The Duke has spoken!
Oh if you can be avoid due to sucking.. I guess that is it . I just started playing street fighter 4 and have been getting my butt handed to me life and right . I mean I don't even have mic so I couldn't understand this .
Bender: Well, everybody, I just saved a turtle. What have you done with your lives?
49% people avoid me.
I just play games. I don't really pay attention to what others think of my playstyle.
I don't really play online games a whole lot anyway. It is all about the campaign.
What's in between the two Alt keys (Command keys if you are a Mac user) on your keyboard?
I was 72% avoided last time I looked, but I really wouldn't worry about it as the whole system is pointless, I've had a few friends that hit 90%+ avoided and nothing ever come of it, I think it was just implemented to allow users to blow off a bit of steam when they lose.
Yeah, people can avoid you based on skill, but I think the only ones that affect your reputation are unfair playing (which includes hacking), unsportsmanlike playing, trash talking, anything that has a percentage next to it. Strangely enough, I ran into a hacker on Dark Souls that had a 5 star rep. I'm pretty sure he was a hacker because he was a melee character with next to no armor, and my attacks were doing almost no damage. I might be missing something, because I don't see the depth of builds in the game everyone else does, but I also had a pretty powerful weapon too. I wouldn't have submitted a player review, but just a couple minutes after he killed me, I got invaded by him again, and I just thought to myself, "Okay, I don't want to fight this guy over and over again." I sometimes wish there was an option to opt out of invasions in that game other than playing offline or playing hollow.

This. I have only pressed the "Avoid this player" button once. It was on RE5 Mercenaries. My partner was deliberately trying to kill me.

I imagine some users think they can get someone banned by hitting the "trash talk" or similar options if enough people do it. They're wrong, of course.
"Everything popular is wrong." - Oscar Wilde
I got like 40% avoiding. Almost all of my complaints are quitting early from the Halo 3 days. My internet was quite wonky back then.
Justice...is what I seek, Kemosabe.
I'm like 65%, last I checked. I mainly only ever play Halo Reach. I've stopped playing with randoms, so that number is going to stay there. People never play Firefight (co-op) properly in that game. If you take too many kills, they shoot you, if you sit back and snipe, they shoot you off your ledge, etc. They try to idle and hide for free XP/Perfectionist commendation. Very few people play the game right. It's sickening the devs allow it to continue.
Avoiding people is pointless anyway. I used to avoid the idlers in firefight and still get matched with them multiple times throughout the day.

Re: Star Trek Online Discussion Thread (now free to play!)
I haven't bought any of the multi ship packs. And the latest one is the biggest joke ever.
Seriously: 10.000 Zen! Who in their right mind pays that amount of real money (around 100 bucks) for 9 ships out of which he probably only uses 3 at the most (one of each faction).
So are the special set powers worth that much? No!
I have accumulated up to 2000 stipend Zen during my 2 month hiatus and have nothing else to use it for, so I will buy a Vesta next month with the next stipend.
That one at least has been proven to be a well rounded ship and has (soft) canon origins, so an actual halfway good design.
Unfortunately every Federation ship that ever came out of the Cryptic Originals design workshop has been butt ugly.
The Odyssey and the Chimera are the exceptions, but those are actually based on bought designs from fans (though I have some issues with both of them, so they are not perfect)
For some reason their current ship designer is reaaaally good at replicating existing designs with great accuracy (wish he would redo the classics from launch), but completely fails at original Federation design work.
Next ship might be the Constellation class, the saucer has already been leaked and been usable by some players on their Stargazer ships and actually looks great again.
So, still waiting for a Cryptic Original that I would be ok with seeing in an actual canon Trek production.
These new Dyson ships are not it.
Edit: Sorry for the rant. XD

I wrote a very long post a few days ago, then somehow lost it. If anyone has one or both of these sleep disorders, or has knowledge of them, please respond.
My sister suffers from narcolepsy/cataplexy, and I am beginning to think my 18 year old son is showing signs of narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is usually characterized by unusually excessive daytime sleepiness, often causing the sufferer to take multiple naps. Cataplexy is an attack of muscular weakness that often goes hand in hand with narcolepsy. The person's face may kind of droop, or their head will droop down (like when you fall asleep sitting up), their knees may buckle and they may get slurred speech.
My sister's excessive daytime sleepiness became so bad that she eventually had to leave her job on disability. She was a police officer and all the stimulant medications they tried her on could not stop her from falling asleep on the job. Obviously, that was not a job she could afford to 'catnap' during, so she had to be relieved of her duties. She no longer works outside the home, because she requires two 3 hour naps during her 'waking' hours, making it very difficult to find a job that can accomodate her condition.
If she is somewhere and cannot take a nap, she begins to get really weak muscles and starts slurring her words, and eventually suffers almost full muscle paralysis. As long as she can nap approx. every 3 and half to 4 hours, she won't get the cataplexy episodes.
My son has developed extreme sleepiness in the last 6 months and his doctor tested his thyroid to see it that was the problem. Since it wasn't, we think he's possibly showing signs of narcolepsy, since it can run in families. He'll probably go for a sleep study lab test in the summer when school's out.
Picky, thanks very much for responding. From your sister's experience, I believe even more that each case is different. If I took even ONE three-hour nap during the day, I wouldn't sleep at night. My cataplectic episodes cause me to fall, unable to stop myself, put out my hands, call for help, or anything due to what some sources call "rigid" tightening of muscles, but what feels more like loosening, weakening. When I taught high school, I fell at home on a wool rug, and scraped my face. When students asked me what was wrong, I told them I'd fallen. But I was met with disbelief. The unspoken question was in their eyes: Why didn't you stop yourself, then?
The information I have says that only people w/ narcolepsy can have cataplexy, but only a fraction of them do.
chery, my sister seems to have a more mild manifestation of cataplexy than you, because she never falls down. She becomes aware that an 'attack' is about to come on, and sits down. Her speech will become really slurred and her muscles become so weak she can't move her arms or anything, but she can manage to stay seated without falling from the chair, until the episode passes.
For her, the narcolepsy is far more debilitating because she can't go anywhere for more than 3 and half hours or she'll need to sleep. She misses out on any trips or events where there won't be any place she can lie down for a nap. Everything has to worked around her sleeping. For her son's graduation, she had to eat an early lunch so she could fit her 3 hour nap in before the ceremony. Then she had to nap for 3 hours after the ceremony before we could have the family dinner to celebrate. This meant we couldn't have the dinner until 8:30 which was late for the grandparents, but having it that late was the only way my sister could have attended her own son's graduation dinner. So the narcolepsy is more bothersome for her than the cataplexy, which is a more rare occurence. I can empathize with anyone who suffers from these conditions, because I've seen how much it disrupts my sister's life.

I may need a few household things, but when I am finished at the COSTCO in Carlsbad, I have my few things PLUS nearly a case of a variety of wines to fill the cart.

Clematis from seed
Although I'm a landscaper and a Master Gardener, I've never started Clematis from seed before. I was fortunate this summer to have gotten permission to harvest seeds from several of my client's Clematis but I don't have a clue as to how to grow them. Any suggestions or pointers? Does it matter what cultivars they are from? Something tells me it would have been easier to take stem cuttings instead of the seeds. HIndsight can be such a pain...
zone 5
Clematis alpina, campaniflora, flammula, heracleifolia, integrifolia, macropetala, paniculata, potaninii, tangutica, and terniflora , Sow at 20ºC (68ºF), if no germination in 3-4 wks, move to -4 to +4ºC (24-39ºF) for 2-4 wks
Clematis columbiana, Sow outdoors late fall for 91% germ. in May/June. Indoor sowing in light at 20ºC (70ºF) should result in 50% germ. over the period of 2 to 10 weeks.
Clematis fremontii , Sow outdoors immediately after seeds ripen in midsummer. Germination begins in late fall.
Clematis occidentalis, Sow at 4ºC (39ºF) for 8 wks, move to 19ºC (65ºF) oscillating with cooler temps. at night.
Clematis mandschurica, recta, vitalba, and viticella , Sow at 18-22ºC (64-71ºF) for 2-4 wks, move to -4 to +4ºC (24-39ºF) for 4-6 wks, move to 5-12ºC (41-53ºF) for germination
Clematis virginiana , Sow at 20ºC (68ºF), germination slow
Here is a link that might be useful: Tom Clothier
Sharon, i bought Clematis ligusticifolia from Gardens North. Their instructions say "Sow and place at warm and high humidity. Germination should start in 2-8 weeks and continue, in a staggered fashion, over many weeks more."
I'm not disagreeing with anyone for a couple of reasons:
1) I'm very new to growing from seed
2) I think I've just been very lucky.
I'm just telling you my experience so far:
On Dec. 22, I planted nine c. mandschurica (3 in each of 3 peat pellets). I now have three seedlings, one in each peat pellet. I left them on my kitchen counter for about 2 weeks until I put them in my indoor greenhouse under lights. They are sprouting on their own, with no stratification, albeit erratically.
So far, so good.
Keep note that seed instructions or methods are not written in stone....it only goes to show that there is no 'right' way, and it's worth trying several to try and find the one that will persuade your particular seeds to germinate.
I say its beginners luck Shauna! ((Just kidding))Congratulations!

Onizuka is the man!
My favourite character from anything ever ^_^
Onizuka is a surprisingly cool guy, for a gross pervert. I've found myself totally liking him in spite of myself. He's awesome and a good teacher to boot.
It's a shame so many people dodge GTO because of the ecchi tag. Onizuka is probably one of the best conceived characters of all time. He's a guy you won't forget, and who will always have a lasting effect on the way you view people. To me, Eikichi is the hero that we could all be, every day, if we had the courage to work hard for what we love and struggle for what we think is right. He's just a normal guy that follows his gut and who asks forgiveness rather than permission. As a teacher and a friend, Onizuka saw the best and the worst in people, and then helped them see themselves. Watching GTO makes you wish you could reach through the screen and bring him to our world. It's a shame we can't. He'd have made school a whole hell of a lot more fun.
I am 99% sure the voice actor for Onizuka was Steven Blum. Is this page wrong, or is it just me? His voice sounds almost identical to Spike/Mugin's so I would assume it is Steven Blum.
If you liked or , you'd like the other because...
