Following a stellar support from SWG fans, SWTOR was created, and it was met with a lackluster following. SWTOR just didn't have elements that would actually make this game feel like Star Wars. Sadly, it felt more like a WoW clone. But it was a WoW clone: -Battleground commendations could buy new PVP gear -Many more, add your thoughts (did I miss some?) !
EA buying BioWare/Pandemic for 860M Oct 11, 2007 http://www.gamespot.com/news/ea-buying-bioware-pandemic-for-860m-6180818 Thursday afternoon, top publisher Electronic Arts announced that it will acquire VG Holding Corp., owner of BioWare/Pandemic. The bulk of that 860 million dollars was BioWare, don't kid yourselves. Employees are ditching "BioWare" like mad now, since BioWare is defunct. The doctors, who founded BioWare in 1995, Ray Muzyka, and Greg Zeschuk have resigned. Stephen Reid - Community manager, has been gone for awhile, because he was fired by EA (hence all the non-communication between gamers and fans). Georg Zoeller - developer and active within the community Rich Vogel - Executive Producer of SWTOR Drew Karpyshyn - Lead Writer Gordon Walton - former BioWare General Manager (Replaced by EA Matt Bromberg). Major proponent for the alpha Hero engine. Quit his job before SWTOR came to light (last laugh?). Daniel Erickson - Most notable for going to computer/video game shows and telling us how this game would change our lives (and be awesome). +many, many others. BioWare is no longer a unique company putting out pure quality. They are now EA, putting out "EA" quality. EA quality is below the bar to many gamers, myself included. Some people remaining in EA's BioWare office: Gabe Amatangelo These are the people left to represent SWTOR? Oh .. someone help us. Want a nice understanding of life?

Well for me I figured Bioware was dead with the release of DA2, I know some people say Bioware was done for with the release of ME2, I myself didn't mind ME2 as I kinda liked the FPS/RPG hybrid style for ME2, but i will agree that ME1 with the focus of RPG with a FPS shooter feel was amazing and just a better game. I was so hyped up for TOR as i love Star Wars and loved KOTOR, and fell in love with DA Origins.... Yeah my hype meter was off the chart considering 3 out of 5 of my favorite games of all time came from Bioware so all was good... Then DA2 hit and i was like uhhhhhhh what is this crap??, and started hoping it was just some lame cash grab as TOR was becoming the most costly MMO made to date. From that moment on I was loaded with anxiety about TOR, then the beta invite and I realized all my fears soon to become reality. Bioware is no more just another brand name for EA to hustle its crap through, and what bothered me the most about it, was the endless lies that come out of thier mouths about everything. At first it angered me now its comic relief and I rather enjoy all the double talking BS, they dont get my money now and its pretty safe for me to say not in the future either so its not my problem. As for the people that are left. Gabe is just a moron and has no idea or talent, Im starting to think that this man has taken butt kissing to whole new level that humanity never thought possible as there is no other explanation avail at this time why this guy has been able to work on two major projects and repeat almost everything that went wrong with the first one. Its almost fun to watch in a sick way. Mr Ohlen is delusional at best and extremely arrogant.. Im personally creeped out by dude tbh. Dallas NGE nothing more to be said about him... Bioware is dead. |
Source for Bioware being defunct?
Bullfrog Maxis Westwood Firaxis Mythic Bioware Who's EA going to buy up and ruin next then? EA - the poo fingered midas of the gaming industry |
Gabe amantelgo is to bioware as Jeff hickman was to mythic. Not particularly talented guy, but knows how to get ahead in a corporate set up.
When mythic was just mythic, hickman was a CSR! Following EA buy out he managed to climb the greasy pole, and end up lead game designer. |

I don't know why folks want to continue to call it bioware,it should be called eaware as nothing is left of the old bioware. |
You do realize that when a company like electronic arts Buys another company like Bioware (or whatever the holding company is named), that the top management will be leaving very shortly afterwards? There is a honeymoon/adjustment phase, but then those people will be leaving as there is New management now. Not sure why anybody is surprised when a bigger company buys a smaller company that the leadership will be transitioning out soon. Its the whole concept of a ship can't have two captains. As was mentioned in this thread already, several companies have been bought by EA, all of them have had the leadership transition out shortly there after. The funny thing is people calling fail for this when that was how the buy out would most likely be structured. New leadership won't be the leaders that employees look to for guidance until the old leaders are gone. Take Mythic Entertainment for example, how long did Mark Jacobs stay around after EA purchased them? Less than a year, not because the game did poorly, but because the buyout would be structured that way. Same thing with Bioware, it was only a matter of time before leadership was gone. Do people thing the doctors at Bioware were actually still writing stories for the games? They haven't written anything for a long time, the people doing all the leg work still work there and are still producing, why EA bought them, to get the talent working for them. Like Jeff Hickman, used to work for Mythic, now he's working on SWTOR, still around and still doing good stuff, but he was purchased talent. And don't forget, that when a company buys another company, they have to protect themselves and prevent the old owners from immediately starting a new company and stealing back all the employees that were just purchased, which is why many of these people go do something else for a while. Its a non-competition clause. |

Originally posted by ShakyMo This.... Bioware was not the first, and it wont be the last. As long as people buy crap from EA, they can continue to buy good companies and milk them for money, then scrap them. only way to stop EA is to not touch anything with EA on it. They have destroyed the absolutly best companies in the business for decades! "This is not a game to be tossed aside lightly. |
Originally posted by Harafnir Well... it's not just like EA did this all by them selves... First they had to be allowed to buy a company or more than 50% of their stocks by the original owners or stock holders. Tho it doesn't change the fact that EA is a pile of rotten garbage ran by people who see and want nothing but $. "Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life." |
Bioware died at the moment when they parted with Black Isle and released their first own game - Neverwinter Nights. Every game thereafter including NWN went downhill, more linear, more cut-scenes, more soap opera with your companies, more filler combat. Baldur's Gate 1 was fantastic, Baldur's Gate 2 was alright, thanks to Black Isle and Bryan Fargo rather than Bioware. REALITY CHECK |
All publishers are what I like to call, "Big Gaming". They are responsible for the state of games right now and the people that run them are NOT gamers. They are opportunists who want to get rich quick. Once WoW showed a massive profit these trust fund babies came in to the scene and now we are left with this synthetic crap. It happens in every aspect of the entertainment industry and it needs to be stopped.
SWTOR was SWTOR long before EA came on board. You can denounce EA as the devil all you like, but the only people to blame for the current state of BioWare and the games they've released in the last five years is BIOWARE themselves! Stop thinking of these companies as single hive minded entities and start thinking of them as a collection of individuals that all think for themselves. They may have procedures they follow but it is the people that make the games, not the badge on the box. BioWare people screwed up on SWTOR, not the EA cash machine behind it. And those BioWare people we've seen leave since the game launched are the ones that had the last say on everything, their responsibility, their failures. |
Yes but is it not surprising. EA has done the same to soo many other companies, so it was more or less expected.
Yeah, I'm sure their investors had nothing to do with the dev process....
Originally posted by JobeArthur That seemed to be the point when BW lost it's impeccable reputation. It was the first chink in the armor so to speak. I'm sure EA was a horrible influence, but the products released by BW just weren't of the same quality starting with DA2. |
ME2 & the pathetic DA2 shoulda been clear signs that the quality & care that made Bioware games so great was evaporating. SWTOR showed us the well has run completely dry.

Originally posted by bobfish I bet if Bioware were operating without EA, the game would hav released 1 or 2 years later, when it had been developed more. EA pushed the game to be released before Bioware were ready. |
Originally posted by Bynt yes they gather talents, but what happen when the new leader can't lead? the new talents are not at they full potencial, big companys noramlly don't let criativy thinking running, because that means risk and its something they don't like. the moment EA get bioware you could notice this would go south and fast, first ME2, nothing like the first one very annoying keep a little of the history so people at least could keep going for story, then came ME3 who butcherd half things who have on previous games both in gameplay and story. da2 I don't even need to say anything..... then tor, so jsut stop and think when was the last game they did launch before EA put his hands on? |
As far as SWTOR goes I wouldn't call it a WoW clone; a WoW wannabe sure but it simply wasn't good enough imo. The key for me however lies in what EA has been for many, many years. From memory the cost of buying Bioware was $620M cash and c. $240M in "performance related" stock options - the cost of which were borne by the EA shareholders - valued initially at c. $860M. Whether those options were subsequently worth $240M won't alter the fact that key employees will have become wealthy. The purchase of Bioware/Pandemic was one of many, many take-overs; more recent ones have included Pogo, Playfish, Popcap. This culture of constant take-overs - all classed as one-offs in EA's results of course thus hiding their true cost - increased EA's sales amd market penetration etc. but the growth has been an illusion. 1. The cumulative cost has put EA's balance sheet under pressure; cost cutting, games released early, studios being closed, staff laid off. Very few of EA's acquisitions seem to have justified the price paid. 2. What drives key employees who are now comfortably wealthy? 3. The cost cutting has resulted in fewer titles being released - to improve quality in theory; in reality innovation is no more, big titles have to appeal to the masses. And the big, blockbuster type titles are expected to deliver big time; so employees will become cautious, development will slow as people strive to take no risks. If in doubt flag it up the chain of management will, I suspect, be the order of the day. And as a result EA is now very dependent on a very small number of titles: FIFA, Battlefield and The Sims probably being the key titles. Any sure thing has to deliver though - increasing the pressure. SWTOR hasn't done so; the last Need for Speed didn't; the next Baseball revamp has been delayed again. And with external factors e.g. the first tranche of NHL games cancelled; an increasingly crowded social sphere (another warning from Zynga). Tthe future doesn't look good. Add up the cost of all the acquisitions and EA should have a much higher stock valuation. It doesn't and a take-over doesn't seem likely. |

In this powerful and culminating work about a group of inner-city children he has known for many years, Jonathan Kozol returns to the scene of his previous prize-winning books, and to the children he has vividly portrayed, to share with us their fascinating journeys and unexpected victories as they grow into adulthood.
For nearly fifty years, Jonathan has pricked the conscience of his readers by laying bare the savage inequalities inflicted upon children for no reason but the accident of being born to poverty within a wealthy nation. But never has his intimate acquaintance with his subjects been more apparent, or more stirring, than in Fire in the Ashes, as Jonathan tells the stories of young men and women who have come of age in one of the most destitute communities of the United States. Some of them never do recover from the battering they undergo in their early years, but many more battle back with fierce and often jubilant determination to overcome the formidable obstacles they face. As we watch these glorious children grow into the fullness of a healthy and contributive maturity, they ignite a flame of hope, not only for themselves but also for our society.

It is revealed by Sebastian that the Warblers have won their Sectionals. They are later seen in the audience, watching the New Directions perform at their Sectionals. (Hold on to Sixteen)
The New Directions learn that Sebastian has stolen their setlist idea for Regionals, and confront him and the Warblers in a parking garage where they sing Bad, which ends in Blaine getting injured. The Warblers are confronted several more times throughout the episode, which ends in mutual amends during a performance of Black or White. (Michael)

Blaine has become the new coach of the Warblers after his break-up with Kurt and left New York. He brings Rachel to Dalton to sing Sing in hopes of cheering her up. (Loser Like Me)
Jane Hayward approaches Blaine and convinces him to let her audition to join the Warblers, much to the other members' dismay. The glee club then allows her to show her talent before making the decision. Jane blows the crowd away with Tightrope, but despite her breathtaking performance, the council voted against her, causing her to transfer to McKinley and join New Directions. (Homecoming)
Dalton Academy burns to the ground, and Blaine is extended an invitation from Kurt, Rachel, and Will to have the Warblers join the New Directions. They accept, but soon butt heads with Jane, Kitty, and Madison when they refuse to let go of their Warbler blazers. A compromise is reached by Blaine by creating Red Warbler Blazers as a symbol of both schools. The Warblers finally dissolve into New Directions as a unified club as they perform Rise in their new uniforms. (The Rise and Fall of Sue Sylvester)

- Jon Hall, one of the background Warblers, recorded more songs as a side project, including one with Dominic Barnes, who plays Trent.
- The Warblers are the first (and currently, the only) glee club other than New Directions to have an album exclusively dedicated to them.
- Members of the Warblers are almost never seen out of their uniform, even when not at school. The only exceptions are Blaine, Kurt, and Sebastian.
- The Warblers are known for being an a cappella group, but have been aided with instruments in Blackbird, Somewhere Only We Know and Tightrope.
- During Season Two, it was seen that, since the Warblers didn't have a director, a council was in charge of accepting new members and choosing songs for competitions. But, in the next three seasons, this council was no longer active and a captain had those responsibilities (Sebastian in the third and fifth seasons, and Hunter in the fourth season). However, the council was reinstated between Season Five and Season Six, as it is seen in Homecoming.
- Jane Hayward is the only female to ever perform with the Warblers.

Customer Reviews for Child Safe Energy Efficient Solar Screen White / Off-White Weaves
"The perfect blind!"
By Coolinthesun from Westbury, NY
I will never buy anything else. It it made so well. Installs like a dream. When you pull it down, it feel like it cost 500 dollars. There is nothing better. And on top of that, it diffuses the sunlight but does not block out the window. If you can't guess.....I love it.

I ordered my soloar shades from Blinds Galore and couldn't be happier! They are beautiful, block some of the heat from the sun and still allow some visibility to the lake. I'm planning on ordering more blinds soon. They also have great customer service.

31.05.2014 /
Jorge Martin was the man to beat when the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup riders took to the Mugello circuit on Saturday for Round Three of the 2014 cup competition.
Jorge Martin dominated the race from the very beginning and quickly distanced himself from the rest of the field while a group of five riders behind him jockeyed for position. By mid race Martin was leading by an overwhelming six seconds, leaving the rest of the field to scrap it out for the other podium places. When they crossed the line, it was a photo finish between two Italian riders, Manuel Pagliani and Stefano Manzi, who took 2-3 and separated by just four thousandths of a second.
Probably one of the unluckiest riders was Bradley Ray of the UK who was a podium contender along with Olley Simpson of Australia as the fight for the minor podium places began to tighten up in the final laps. Then Ray went out with a mechanical issue leaving Simpson to pick up an uncontested fourth overall.
"It was an incredible race. I knew I wanted to push from the beginning and I tried to increase the gap lap by lap," said Martin. The victory puts him on top of the championship leader board five points ahead of Pagliani. Japanese rider Soushi Mihara, who finished sixth on Saturday on the sweeping Italian circuit is currently third. Mihara was the winner of the opening round.

isn't that also possible with systemtap?
Phoronix: Linux Kernel Performance Counter Subsystem
Thomas Gleixner has proposed a series of patches to the Linux kernel that would (finally) introduced a performance counter sub-system. This sub-system would make it possible to read performance-oriented data off special registers on modern processors such as the number of CPU instructions executed, cache misses, branches mis-predicted, etc.Thomas describes this proposed performance counter subsystem as being very simple (it only takes a few lines of user-space code to read the counters) but still an extensible design that can implement a full range of features...
isn't that also possible with systemtap?
I have been told that IBM mainframes can do this. I.e. count how many cycles a process have taken, how much ram was used and all sorts of things that can be used to write a bill to the person that have ordered the process to run.
Perhaps it is an IRIX feature? I don't know.
For a while, SGI was the leader in real-time CGI (e.g. OpenGL has its roots in SGI's proprietary 3D API).
The Core 2 performance counters are the same ones oprofile uses, right? So this would be a new infrastructure for collecting the same data you could get by leaving oprofile running long-term?
oprofile can use Core 2's two performance counters to count cache misses, pipeline stalls, uops dispatched or retired, clock cycles taken, and various other events. So yeah, perf counters are really handy. This easy-to-use interface to them might make it easier to profile some things... Esp. if it can be done without root. That would be a huge advantage, because it's easy to lock up a machine with oprofile (set a counter to trigger too often and the machine is stuck in an interrupt loop), so I wouldn't give users of a cluster the ability to run oprofile. If this is a safe way to let users use perf counters, it would be great for people optimizing code on machines they have access to but aren't root on.
To answer your original question: yes, AIX has advanced accounting, which is based on the accounting technology features in IBM's mainframes.

Social Security Disability (SSD) is essentially an insurance plan that helps to cover medical expenses when you are unable to work. Learn more
Applying for disability can seem like an intimidating process. Many people believe that the Social Security Administration (SSA) will turn you down a few times before you get approved, but this is not true. 30% of applicants get approved on their initial application and following these simple steps can increase your chances of being in this 30%. Learn more
After you submit your application, the SSA will review your application to make sure you meet their basic program requirements. If you meet these requirements, the SSA will complete the disability decision by compiling your medical records and following a five-step process. Learn more
If you have been denied SSD or Supplement Security Income (SSI), you still have the right to make an appeal. In fact, you have the right to make several appeals if necessary. While many applicants get approved based on their initial applications, many others receive benefits only after going through the appeals process, so do not give up. Learn more
One myth is you can't work at all while drawing disability. This is false, both for SSD and SSI. Going back to work does not automatically stop benefits under either program. In fact, the SSA has many built-in incentives to encourage you to go back to work. Learn more
It is important that you know your rights if you are a recipient of any Social Security services, whether SSD or SSI. Learn more
Since 2008, PHA has been working with SSA to update the Listing of Impairments and ensure that qualified PH patients get onto disability as quickly as possible. Learn more
SSA.gov is the official U.S. Government site for the Social Security Administration.
Social Security Handbook on the Web includes the provisions of the Social Security Act, regulations issued under the Act, and precedential case decisions (rulings). It is a readable, easy to understand resource for the complex Social Security programs and services.
Caring Voice Coalition has free programs to help patients with insurance reimbursement, financial assistance, patient support services, public advocacy, and the SSD application and appeals process.
The Jennifer Jaff Center provides information, advice and advocacy regarding retrieval of medical information, obtaining and keeping health insurance, obtaining coverage for your treatment, applying for SSD and asserting your rights. Also publishes a Know Your Rights handbook.
National Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives (NOSSCR) is an association of over 3,900 attorneys and other advocates who represent Social Security and Supplemental Security Income claimants.

The area where Green Valley lies is part of the original San Ignacio de la Canoa Land Grant from the King of Spain, and before that Native Americans called the area home. The area in and around Green Valley is filled with history, from ghost towns and abandoned mines to old Spanish Missions and even Cold War era relics. But it offers more than just interest for history buffs; between Madera Canyon and the four lakes surrounding the area, you can hike, boat, fish and bird watch without going too far from home. And if that isn't enough, a whole other country is just 45 minutes away as you pass into Mexico.
There are four main shopping centers in Green Valley and 370 different shops, as well as many major employers. Government and education jobs make up the largest employment sector of the Green Valley economy, with Sahuarita and Continental schools and Pima County employing most of the population. The area is also filled with assisted living facilities, senior care facilities, hospitals and doctors' offices.
The homes here are mostly Santa Fe-style stucco with xeriscaped, low-care yards. Many of the pre-planned and master-planned communities in this area are age-restricted retirement communities and active adult communities, loaded with amenities specifically for people in retirement, such as golf courses, community pools, planned activities, classes and much more. Many homes already come with pools or spas because of the wonderful weather and average of 300 days of sunshine in this area. Larger lots can also be found, usually not associated with any development or community. School-aged children living in this area are zoned to Sahuarita schools.

SERVING BETHPAGE, ISLAND TREES, OLD BETH PAGE, PLAINVIEW, SEAFORD AND PLAINEDGE VOL. 42 NO. 31 September 3 - 9,2004 FORTY CENTS WE WILL FOREVER MISS BETHPAGE'S "KING OF HEARTS" RICH F URRE Y It is certainly safe to say that everyone in the community of Bethpage knew Richard Furrey. It is even safer to say that if you had the honor and privilege of knowing him that you loved him. Whether you remember him behind the counter for so many years at Beth Drugs or picture him wearing one of his brightly colored character ties, helping the customers at CVS, Rich Furrey was a friendly face, a kind heart and a loving, beautiful person. He was a dedicated and loving father, a devoted husband, kind and considerate brother, a fabulous and fun Uncle and a son that any parent would dream and be proud to have. Richie was one in a million and sadly he was taken from us all way too soon. Uncle Richie as we always referred to him, was an institution in the community of Bethpage. For as long as so many of us can remember Rich was the man filling our prescriptions, telling us a funning joke and smiling at us as only he could. He was extremely active in the Bethpage Rotary Club and in fact was President of the organization once again. He dedicated endless hours to the Marty Lyons Foundation and truly became Santa to so many children and so many people he was able to help. He loved to golf and loved a good card game accompanied by a cigar, of course. But what Richie loved most was so obvious. He loved his family more than anything. Jeri, his wife, Davina and Michael, his children, were his world. There truly was no greater love and it was a love that they so eagerly returned to him. It is almost unbelievable to think that such a special, unique and loving person has been taken from us at the young age of 52. Richie had a zest for life like no other. When he was passionate about something there truly was no stopping him. And it was that zest and that passion that fueled the way that he lived his life and why he was so deeply loved by the entire community. There are many, many things that Rich Furrey will be remembered for, but most importantly he will be remembered for having a great big, kind and loving heart. Richie was a teddy bear. A person who found the good in everyone and smiled with a true joy and happiness in his eyes. Richie never faked anything. He was the real deal. Sincere, loyal, witty, kind and genuine. To say that the community of Bethpage is saddened is an understatement. Bethpage is truly devastated by the loss of such a dear and special person. There are no words to express our heartache and no words to console his family. We can only hope that the entire Furrey family is comforted in knowing just how deeply loved and admired that this man was to the community he served and was a part of for so many years. I have wrestled over and over in my mind why this wonderful man would be taken from us so soon. In trying to make sense of it I truly believe that Richie would want us to learn a valuable lesson from his passing. A lesson to teach us all to be better, more kind and loving people and a lesson to live every day with passion and joy as he did, because no one knows just how long any of us has to be here. Quite frankly, the world would be a better place if all of kept that lesson, Richie's lesson, in our hearts. So to my dear friend Uncle Richie, I say that I will miss you with all my heart and that I and all of us, loved you more than you perhaps ever realized. You brought a smile to everyone that had the privilege of knowing you and I am sure that right now you are looking down upon the community you loved and the family you adored with all your heart watching over us all. To the entire Furrey family I send (Continued on Page 9)

Norman Regional Health System is one of the first in the nation to use a new electronic validation method from Meditech to make sure the right patient receives the right blood-type before a transfusion.
Norman Regional began using the new technology, called Electronic Crossmatch, in December 2008. Electronic Crossmatch checks compatibility between patient and donor blood types and has a number of other safety checks designed to improve patient safety.
"Electronic Crossmatch has proven to be safer than the manual system we used to rely on to check blood compatibility," said Jerry Stevens, supervisor, blood bank. "The technology automatically checks for any patient blood-type history in our system, and will use that data to compare blood-type data from the donor blood. Using Electronic Crossmatch, we have made our blood transfusion processes safer, and have saved countless hours manually testing blood compatibility."
Prior to implementing Electronic Crossmatch, Stevens said the laboratory technologists at Norman Regional would have to manually mix the patient's blood with the donor's cells in a test tube, and then analyze before deeming the two blood samples compatible.
"The manual crossmatch process took about five per test," explains Stevens. "Our laboratory conducts about 830 crossmatches per month. Using Electronic Crossmatch, our technicians now know instantaneously if blood types are compatible."
While saving technologists 35 hours per month is an impressive benefit of Electronic Crossmatch, its safety features have also caught the attention of Norman Regional's laboratory staff.
"The system has the logic to conduct a thorough screening," said Stevens. "In addition, the system will always use two separate blood type tests to ensure there is a match between the patient and donor blood."
Electronic Crossmatch is just one of the many features in Norman Regional's new electronic medical record system. Norman Regional uses products by Meditech, a software vendor that specializes in meeting the information needs of health care organizations. In addition to the automated blood checking feature, Norman Regional also has incorporated a patient bedside medication verification system offered by Meditech. This system assures the right patient gets the right medication and the correct dose.

Saratoga County is a global destination for tourists seeking out fun and adventures every day of the year. Summers at Saratoga are famous for horse racing, the New York City Ballet at SPAC, and our world famous springs. In the fall, you can kayak on one of our many lakes or rivers, pick apples or enjoy a corn maze at a local farm, and enjoy the beauty of a nice drive to leaf-peep around the Great Sacandaga. During the winter, our communities offer a mixture of snowmobiling adventure and great festivals such as the annual Chowderfest in downtown Saratoga Springs. In the spring, our golf courses reopen and our national, state and local parks become home to hikers, bikers and families enjoying a picnic in the great outdoors.
All year long our local family owned restaurants offer locally grown food and unique cuisine you won't get anywhere else. You'll find our nightlife to be full of activity from local establishments hosting local entertainment to one of the best July 4th and First Night celebrations in the US. There is always something to see or do in Saratoga County 365 days of the year and the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce maintains one of most vibrant event listings you'll find anywhere. But if you'd like more personalize service and a few suggestions from our professional staff, please give us a call at 518-584-3255.

Kobe is not a rapist. Who the hell do you want Kobe to throw the damn ball to. Everyone is hurt. If you watch the Laker game's earlier this season Kobe didn' take over untill the fourth quarter.
