Osteoporosis and aging; Muscle weakness associated with aging
Changes in posture and gait (walking pattern) are as universally associated with aging as changes in the skin and hair.
The skeleton provides support and structure to the body. Joints are the areas where bones come together. They allow the skeleton to be flexible for movement. In a joint, bones do not directly contact each other. Instead, they are cushioned by cartilage in the joint, synovial membranes around the joint, and fluid.
Muscles provide the force and strength to move the body. Coordination is directed by the brain but is affected by changes in the muscles and joints. Changes in the posture and gait, weakness, and slowed movement are caused by changes in the muscles, joints, and bones.
Bone mass or density is lost as people age, especially in women after menopause. The bones lose calcium and other minerals.
The spine is made up of bones called vertebrae. Between each bone is a gel-like cushion (intervertebral disk). The trunk becomes shorter as the disks gradually lose fluid and become thinner.
In addition, vertebrae lose some of their mineral content, making each bone thinner. The spinal column becomes curved and compressed (packed together). Bone spurs, caused by aging and overall use of the spine, may also form on the vertebrae.
The shoulder blades (scapulae) and other bones may become porous. On an x-ray, they may look "moth-eaten." The foot arches become less pronounced, contributing to slight loss of height.
The long bones of the arms and legs, although more brittle because of mineral losses, do not change length. This makes the arms and legs look longer when compared with the shortened trunk.
The joints become stiffer and less flexible. Fluid in the joints may decrease, and the cartilage may begin to rub together and erode. Minerals may deposit in some joints (calcification). This is common in the shoulder.
Hip and knee joints may begin to lose structure (degenerative changes). The finger joints lose cartilage and the bones thicken slightly. Finger joint changes are more common in women and may be hereditary.
Some joints, such as the ankle, typically change very little with aging.
Lean body mass decreases, caused in part by loss of muscle tissue (atrophy). The rate and extent of muscle changes seems to be genetically determined. Muscle changes often begin in the 20s in men and the 40s in women.
Lipofuscin (an age-related pigment) and fat are deposited in muscle tissue. The muscle fibers shrink. Muscle tissue is replaced more slowly, and lost muscle tissue may be replaced with a tough fibrous tissue. This is most noticeable in the hands, which may appear thin and bony.
Changes in the muscle tissue, combined with normal aging changes in the nervous system, cause muscles to have reduced tone and ability to contract. Muscles may become rigid with age and may lose tone even with regular exercise.
Bones become more brittle and may break more easily. Overall height decreases, mainly because of shortening of the trunk and spine.
Inflammation, pain, stiffness, and deformity may result from breakdown of the joint structures. Almost all elderly people are affected by joint changes, ranging from minor stiffness to severe arthritis.
The posture may become progressively stooped (bent) and the knees and hips more flexed. The neck may become tilted, and the shoulders may narrow while the pelvis may become wider.
Movement slows and may become limited. The walking pattern (gait) becomes slower and shorter. Walking may become unsteady, and there is less arm swinging. Fatigue occurs more readily, and overall energy may be reduced.
Strength and endurance change. Loss of muscle mass reduces strength. However, endurance may be enhanced somewhat by changes in the muscle fibers. Aging athletes with healthy hearts and lungs may find that performance improves in events that require endurance, and decreases slightly in events that require short bursts of high-speed performance.
Osteoporosis is a common problem, especially for older women. Bones break more easily, and compression fractures of the vertebrae can cause pain and reduce mobility.
Muscle weakness contributes to fatigue, weakness, and reduced activity tolerance. Joint problems are extremely common. This may be anything from mild stiffness to debilitating arthritis (see osteoarthritis).
The risk of injury increases because gait changes, instability, and loss of balance may lead to falls.
Some elderly people have reduced reflexes. This is most often caused by changes in the muscles and tendons rather than changes in the nerves. Decreased knee jerk or ankle jerk is not unexpected.
Some changes, such as a positive Babinski's reflex, are always considered abnormal and are not a normal part of aging.
Involuntary movements (muscle tremors and fine movements called fasciculations) are more common in the elderly. Inactive or immobile elderly people may experience weakness or abnormal sensations (paresthesias).
Muscle contractures may occur in those unable to move voluntarily or to have their muscles stretched through exercise. Restless leg syndrome may occur.
Exercise is one of the best ways to slow or prevent problems with the muscles, joints, and bones. A moderate exercise program can help you maintain strength and flexibility. Exercise helps the bones stay strong.
Consult with your health care provider before beginning a new exercise program.
A well-balanced diet with adequate amounts of calcium is important. Women need to be especially careful to get enough calcium as they age. Postmenopausal women, and men over age 65, need 1,200 - 1,500 mg of calcium per day. If you have osteoporosis, talk to your doctor about prescription treatments.

Tangible Personal Property Tax Data Taxes Levied by Type of Governmental Unit and Value of Property, by County, Calendar Year 1999
Tangible personal property taxes levied by all local governments in Ohio for calendar year 1999 totaled $1.6 billion on a total taxable value of $22.5 billion. Both of these figures are after deduction of the $10,000 exemption granted each taxpayer. The $10,000 exemption reduced the statewide taxable value by $1.2 billion and reduced statewide taxes levied by $91.7 million. However, local governments were reimbursed by the state for the $91.8 million loss.
Of total taxes levied, school districts levied $1.2 billion, county governments and special districts levied $309.4 million, cities and villages levied $99.9 million, and townships levied $58.9 million. All figures represent taxes levied for 1999 to be collected in the same year. This differs from the real estate and public utility property taxes which are levied for a given year but collected the following year.
The figures in the county, township, school district, and city and village columns indicate the total amount of tangible personal property taxes levied by each of these types of governmental units on taxable property within each county. The column for delinquent taxes includes not only delinquent taxes from the previous year, but also delinquent taxes remaining from all previous years.
The figures shown have been compiled from abstracts filed by each of the 88 county auditors with the Ohio Department of Taxation, Tax Equalization Division.

Most likely the jitter is in your brain. Why don't you record one and compare?
PS: If you try +playdemo you will see that the demo is recorded with jitter. So it`s like watching a poor youtube stream. Thus useless for jitter benchmark. If a demo is to be used, it needs to be generated without jitter.
Peace Be With You.
Most likely the jitter is in your brain. Why don't you record one and compare?
Why would you make such a non-constructive comment? If you do not have anything to add, please refrain from commenting.
If you look at the frame rate of a game as a periodic signal or as successive pulses from the previous definition, any deviation from that periodicity could be called jitter.Originally Posted by Wikipedia

Well think about a game scene, why would it be possible that you can record jitter? timedemo plays the same content just in the max possible speed, when you disable vsync in the video driver (nv 300+ has vsync active by default) then you get higher rates than 60 fps. But when it is played at normal speed then he say it has jitter - not that i laugh. Even when you record the movement (something like that is in the demo) with less than 60 hz then it can only be a bit jumpy but never jitter as the same content can not be played with less than 60 fps when it would have got that speed. He is just weird and sees everywhere jitter where nothing is. It is definitely NOT the question if a frame takes too long to render.
If you look at the graphs from page 1, you see that there are frames which take more than 100ms to render. This is unwanted behaviour and corresponds to a lowly 10 FPS or less (!). All standard benchmark software masks this behaviour by the fact that the frames per second metric averages out those long frames. I suppose we agree on the fact that this method adds a lot of useful information about how smooth a game runs.
How would you call this new type of analysis then?
Basically it is nothing "new", lots of benchmark tests (on win) show the fps drawn on a time graph. Also you should not compare your system against his, because the gfx card is definitely different. When the card is fast (and only limited by driver) then other aspects like asset load time you have to take into account. Didn't you remember his remarks that load time could be tuned by a special kernel config - all that is more or less complete bullshit. Usually a 2nd run does not show these peaks when everything is pre-cached. It's also the same person who would buy a 2.x ghz quad core for dual socket 2011 instead of a 3.5 ghz quad with turbo for gaming - just to fix jitter - do you call that normal?
I do not see why this discussion should be about Paradox Uncreated. This thread is about measuring hiccups/judder/jitter (or how you'd call it) in doom3. My point is that this could be useful. I posted the comparison of my system with Paradox's to demonstrate the possibilities of this method, no more, no less.
I would rather have a system which can always churn out 30 fps minimum, instead of a system which does 60 fps average, but with hiccups of 500 ms or larger.
Guano hopes to be prime bitch the next ten years too. Out of respect for threadstarter I am just going to ignore the subcattle, and their worthless bloodstream.
I do think he makes a very good point of who he is though. Apparently even not the extreme jitter in the demo, is visible to him. He must obviously be blind. And seeing his argumentation in low-jitter kernel thread, not only mind, but lack a mind and senses aswell.
I have already posted the numbers I get also, and they show low-jitter.
Ofcourse it fits logically. The only enemy of sense, must be senselessness itself.
And he probably is frustrated from not recieving his daily cottaging. And rages in threads on phoronix, and probably osnews.
THE TROLL. Olaf in his barn. He doesn`t understand computers, and he doesn`t understand Islam. Just don`t let him fool you, because then you will live at the lowest level, as him.
Peace Be With You.
It depends how you measure your 60 fps. If you measure it with vsync enabled in the gfx driver then it is unlikely that you will notice many drops while you play the game (ok, when it loads new game data, faster from ssd btw). If you get 60 fps average while the gfx driver (and the game setting) does not restrict the rendering then it more likely that there are many parts below 60 fps (that's the case with my gt630 @ 1920x1200). The switches in framerate you can see thats clear - but then you just need a faster gfx card usually to get rid of em. D3 is from 2004, so all cpus should be fast enough. As the code is opensource you can limit the HZ to 30 or 120 or whatever you like in neo/framework/UsercmdGen.h.
This is exactly what was said in the other tread too. There is no "loads new game data" framelosses here, and that is even without SSD. And as I said in the other thread, not even QUAD SLI will improve jitter. Actually it will worsen it.
Peace Be With You.

The School of the Arts has two categories of graduate students — full time or part time. Full- or part-time graduate students are accepted either provisionally or as students with full standing into the graduate degree programs of the various departmental areas. These students may matriculate full time or part time except for the residence limitation discussed elsewhere in this bulletin.
Most graduate programs in the school require full-time status, including the concentrations in the Master of Fine Arts in Fine Arts degree (photography and film, painting and printmaking, sculpture, kinetic imaging and ceramics, fibers, furniture design, glassworking and jewelry/metalworking) and the visual communication track of the M.F.A. in Design. Check with the individual departments to confirm whether full-time status is required or part-time status is permitted.
Holders of the baccalaureate degree from recognized institutions may enroll in graduate courses as nondegree-seeking special graduate students, but such courses are not applicable toward a graduate degree from this institution unless the student is accepted into a graduate degree program prior to the conclusion of the semester in which the student registered as a nondegree-seeking graduate student.
A nondegree-seeking student who is later admitted as a degree-seeking student will not be allowed to apply toward a degree more than six credits earned as a nondegree-seeking student.
The second type of nondegree-seeking graduate student is the student who holds a baccalaureate degree, who wishes to take graduate courses for personal enrichment, and who does not intend to work toward a graduate degree. There is no limit to the number of credits that students in this category may take, as long as the academic performance is credible.
All nondegree-seeking ("special") graduate students must have written permission from the chair of the appropriate department in order to enroll in classes.

Thanks for such an informative post Chuck. I also tend to agree with the opinions you offered and to me it is clear that ISU could do with a major renovation regarding their ranking system.
Thanks for such an informative post Chuck. I also tend to agree with the opinions you offered and to me it is clear that ISU could do with a major renovation regarding their ranking system.
I think you made two very good points; I hope the ISU will revise its points system, but I'm not holding my breath.
One thing I don't get: senior Bs count towards points and thus standings and the season bonus - but not towards the season's best list. I don't see how that makes any sense. If a skater is from a smaller fed, or for some other reason had few opportunities to compete in ISU events, and this was their best score of the season, why not count it so that they have a better shot at a GP assignment the next season? I mean, really, either these events should count or they shouldn't, but the ISU needs to be consistent on this matter.
It is a trick question - there is no Bolivian ice hockey team
I thought about this - after I forgot about it - and decided since there is only one basketall, baseball and soccer/futbol team per country in the Olympics there should only be one hockey team as well. Plus, ice hockey has a long enough Olympic history and tradition and the format for the tournamnet in the Olympics has been successful and non-controversial. No reason to change this format. The NHL also would not permit this as they already are inconvenienced letting one team from Canada and USA take part.
Figure skating has a different tradition with multiple skaters from many nations an accepted norm. All I would like to see is 5-10 more of the very best skaters that don't qualify at their country's nationals to be added to the field. A way to do this might be to raise the skill requirements.
If that is not possible then increase the size of the field and let Cinquanta auction off the spots That is something he might go for
i was thinking the same in the morning, normally the first 5 (or ten) skaters of russia, or canada or usa or japan are far better that lets say the national champion of bolibia(do they even skate there?) , what you propose for qualifying?there should always be a limit in participation from each country, if we want to see the 5-10 of russia for example that are that good and didnt qualify for international comps, we can watch their nationals. Lol, Do I make sense?
Sure you make sense. Every point is valid since this is more of a rhetorical question and nothing in the short term will be done about it.
There is a basic question to consider here: do we want at least one skater from each ISU federation member at Worlds - or do we want to see the best skaters at Wolrds and Olympics
I think we want both. It is fun, particularly at the Olympics to see athletes from so many different countries. And it is a dream of many skaters to participate in the Olympics.
My point is that I feel bad for a few of the top skaters from the top federations that won't qualify. These are skaters that have trained for years and practiced for uncountable hours. They don't go and instead skaters who have not spent half the time training and preparing get their spot because they are from a smaller federation or a country without much skating tradition.
I thought of this watching Caroline (your little Fibonacci skater) sitting in the stands at Worlds this year. She placed third at US Nationals and therefore was not eligible to participate at Worlds. No one here will argue that she is not a better skater than the majority of ladies who skated at Worlds. She would have probably cracked the top ten and possibly the top 5. But even on her worst night she finishes in the top 20. There are a few skaters from Japan and other federations who get treated the same way. I am just saying it doesn't seem fair that some of the best skaters in the world don't make it to Worlds/Olympics simply because they are from big federations.

We do get to see the best 4-6 of the US, Japanese and Canadian skaters----in the GP events and at 4CC.
I think Worlds should remain as it is: with the best skaters/teams from each federation, according to the number of skaters/teams earned per discipline at the previous Worlds.
I think if you added 10 of the 'best' skaters outside the top 3 from the big skating federations, the smaller federations would quickly put at end to it, because they would be effectively locked out of any chance to get guaranteed places in the GP.
Just think if all of the top 12 skaters/teams in each discipline were from the same 3 or 4 federations. Worlds and the GP would become an elite skaters' club instead of a WORLD competition. Since Italy doesn't have depth in any discipline, you can bet that Speedy wouldn't go along with such an idea.
Thanks for your comments. I guess I have to agree with your points even as it still feels like something is wrong. For an example I could mention the case of Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards. A colorful character and who gained a degree of popularity with the public while gaining equal notoriety within the ski jumping establishment.
Quopte from Wiki
"The widespread attention that Edwards received in Calgary turned into a large embarrassment for the ski jumping establishment. Many athletes and officials felt that he was 'making a mockery' of the sport. Shortly after the Olympics finished, the entry requirements were greatly toughened, making it next to impossible for anyone to follow his example."
I am not suggesting that skating is facing a similar situation - but federations do have the authority to make changes. I understand your points - they are political - and also firmly based in the reality of the situation. But I still don't see why a skater like Yukari may not qualify for the Olympics even though she is a top 10 skater at a major competition. Maybe this season Johnny or Jeremy may be left on the sidelines, their spot taken by a skater that might realistically only score half as high as they would have.
My suggestion and hope would be to make the field a bit larger but to also have a pre-qualifying event where many of the skaters that are so far below the best skaters can skate it off and the better ones can remain in the competition. The ones who were eliminated can then be replaced by several top skaters selected (in a manner yet to be decided )
Anyway - it is possible and it would also help in the long run because a better competition will lead to better things like attendance, TV ratings etc.
If you accept the format of hockey why don't you accept the skating one as well? You have to qualify to have a hockey team in the Olympics, just like in skating you qualify how many skaters a Federation gets to send. I don't think there has been much controversy about this system. Sure it's unfair sometimes, but really what isn't? The Olympics is all about countries coming together, celebrating nationalities, and the power of sport and competition. In my opinion, I don't think the Olympics would be much fun or interesting if the Women's figure skating competition only consisted of ladies from Japan, The States and Canada (for example).
If a ranking system were implemented to allow the 20 "best" skaters to compete, it would throw out the importance of Nationals all together. I think Nationals is one of the most exciting competitions of the year, especially in an Olympic year. There is an extremely high level of skating and the skaters put everything out on the ice in order to qualify for the Olympic team. Skaters earn the right to compete for their country.
it is good to keep small federations on the game and keep them interested to fund/help athletes of figure skating...you never know how it will turn out, did South Korea ever had a really high level skater before ?(i dont know any s.korean skater sorry)..and now they have a world champion lady and the most probable for the OG. Someday it may happen to anyone 's country.
There already is an ISU rankings system in place - but it could probably use a few tweaks.
I agree that Nationals (for some countries) is an exciting, pressure packed event. I would not like to see it lose it's importance.
As to hockey - what would three teams consist of - maybe 60 players. That is already larger than the singles field in figure skating. Giving the best hockey playing nations multiple teams and we would have 600 or more hockey players plus all of their coaches and trainers - they would almost have to build another Olympic Village to house all of them. And maybe build 2-3 more ice rinks. Logistically it appears to be out of the question. (You did not address the point that the NHL on a club by club basis would most likely not support this either).
As to earning the right to compete for your country that is not always the case. Yuna does not have to earn the right by skating at Korean Natls. She earns the right by what she does throughout the year at other events. Granted, that is an unusual case.
So what I suggested would amount to either a slightly larger entry field (not more than a 10% increase) or perhaps have a dozen of the lowest ranked skaters competing in a special pre-event competition - to be held at the Olympics - a few days before the skating begins. Let the skaters who lose out stay at the Olympic Village and have their Olympic experience - and let a few of the best skaters in the wolrd who would otherwise not be competing - also have their Olympic experience.
Anyway - it was just a thought and maybe it is best to leave it the way it is.
Did you think Cincuanta just woke up one morning and found 1.1 million dollars under his pillow? To put on the WTT a lot of money was needed.
My comments were that ISU was able to "find" a way to get the funding to put on this new event. I know a little about where the "funding" came from but not the whole story.
I also suggest that there simply is not enough interest in the GP series to justify networks broadcasting it in N. America anymore. This being an Olympic year and with NBC having the rights (and two cable stations that have shown skating last season) perhaps we will see the GP series next season. I would certainly like that.
I think the question should be, "will the GP series return to TV in USA" and not "should there be more skaters in the GPF." One step at a time - and the GP series has to become popular enough again before ISU can think of expanding it.

I wasn't suggesting there be three teams competing in hockey - that would be ridiculous. I was just wondering why you agreed with hockey and not skating because they both have qualifying systems in place. There has also been MUCH debate here in Canada about how we could easily field at least two teams and both be top contenders. So hockey is not without controversy as well. As for the NHL, the NHL goes on about a two to three week break for the Olympics, so adding more players wouldn't be an issue because there is nothing go on during that time anyway. This looks like the last Olympics the NHL wants to support (even though the players still want to compete). Hopefully we will see them again in 2014!
Adding a pre-event competition would just be like having a qualifying round like there used to be at Worlds. Maybe it could be added again to "weed out the weak" I don't really like the thought of that though. The skaters that have qualified have passed the required tests to compete at the Senior Level and I think they deserve the right to compete, even if there skills aren't up to par with the top skaters.
I know a little about where the "funding" came from but not the whole story.{/QUOTE]
This you could check with NBC if they plan on carrying out the GPseries in 2010. You can check out the USFS if it is doing anything about securing TV coverage in 2010. Once you get that information, let us know.I think the question should be, "will the GP series return to TV in USA" and not "should there be more skaters in the GPF." One step at a time - and the GP series has to become popular enough again before ISU can think of expanding it.

Special Olympics Golfers from five European countries celebrated a two-day Christmas Golf Tournament at Montado Golf Centre in Setubal, Portugal from December 9th to the 11th, 2011.
More than 100 athletes, families, coaches and friends from Austria, Denmark, Finland, Sweden and Portugal were in attendance. Divisioning of the competition happened early in the morning of Friday, December 9th allowing the athletes the remainder of the day to familiarise themselves and grow accustomed to the Montado golf course. The course, while mainly of flat terrain, unfolds beneath old trees and around creeks and lakes making it quite the challenge for golfers.
Competition matches were started with a gun shot from the Golf Club of Physical Education Teachers at 9.10 am on Saturday, December 10th. Two eventful, enthusiastic and sporting days of golf ensued.
The competition wound down with an evening of celebrations on Sunday, December 11th, which was full of festive cheer. Each athlete was presented with a medal, a polo shirt and a box of three professional golf balls to add to the Christmas gifts they also received.
Pedro Jorge Serra, Sports Director, Special Olympics Portugal was present at the two day event; "It's fantastic to see five national programs attend this event. Golf is the tenth most popular sport in the Special Olympics movement and with more great events like this one it will surely become even more popular."
A technical coaches meeting ran simultaneously to the competition on late Saturday afternoon. The meeting was hosted by SOEE Golf Advisor, Jeffrey Swanson and focused on golfing issues including the participation rate in the European Golf Tournament in Bludenz, Austria in June, 2012.
Recognition goes to Regina Mirandela Costa, SO Portugal National Driector, Pedro Jorge Serra, Sports Director and all Special Olympics Portugal staff as well as Jeffrey Swanson, SOEE Golf Advisor for organising the event.

It has been brought to my attention that riding camels (at least in Australia) has succumbed to political correctness. What is the world of adventure coming to? Tourists are now required to strap a pancake-like fibre-glass contraption on their obedient heads. YES! ... a little trip into the Oz desert on a camel is impossible without a camel helmet. How to spoil a perfect experience!
Camel riding insurance requirements have intervened. Tourism in Australia reaches a new low in spreading 'civilization.' For a look at bemused tourists "in those silly helmuts" see "Camels in Australia Part II," Travel Blog (http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Northern-Territory/Ayers-Rock/blog-491142.html : accessed 2 May 2010), from Thomas Marshall's book Our Summer in Australia and New Zealand.
This is a matter up with which Winston Churchill would not have put. Nor Gertrude Bell. Lord knows, a sensible sun hat suffices for all but mad dogs. Protesters, join me in the ranks of such revered adventurers.
Photograph 1921, Gertrude Bell Photographic Archive, Newcastle University, UK. Churchill is second from the left, beside Gertrude. Oh, and that's T.E. Lawrence (of Arabia) on her other side.
Like we have rules about helmets for bicycle riding and snowboarding and everything else that's fun. Fun, and possibly risky, but did we ask for big brother to imposed controls on personal decisions? Assuming we are mature adults? Oh, wait. It's something to do with fear of litigation, right? Like you might sue your surgeon if he sewed you up leaving a rubber glove in your body somewhere south of your kidneys, right? Or the cost of keeping you hooked up to hospital tubes after you wiped out that tree on the ski hill, right?
My sister-in-law was in a camel fight and it wasn't a helmet she needed. What was needed was a cushion on her backside which is precisely where she landed after the exciting brouhaha. I offer this as prima facie evidence that helmets are a waste of time and money. How many people fall off a camel onto their heads, I ask you.
Huff. And it's the first time I've heard the expression "camel careerists"—the Ozzie guys who actually own the camels and lure the tourists for rides. Imagine a self-respecting Bedouin or Hindi, scrabbling for a meagre living, saying "No helmet, no ride." This is cultural appropriation and setting a very bad global example.
For that matter, what is this political correctness sweeping the world where we are supposed to substitute euphemisms for every cultural-sensitive expression and have to revise history of the same and stop me before I'm foaming at the mouth.
Next thing you know, travel agencies will have a tick-off box about camel riding to warn the insurance company and then you know that buying and lugging your own camel-riding-helmet through the airport can't be far behind.

I guess "Big Brother" is everywhere, telling us what to do under the guise of "it's good for us!" Ha!
I like the wind in my hair when I ride camels. Although they do look like their hides might be a bit scratchy so maybe wearing ones leathers might be a good idea? How about you Brenda Baby? - Saturday, 15 May, 2010

Wearing leathers in the desert heat you would likely pass out from dehydration but far be it from me to interfere with your important fashion choices. If you can't keep up, you would be left behind drying up in the sun with the wind blowing in your hair. And just think, the following year an archaeologist will dig you out of the sand. You might be exhibited somewhere, lolol.

This is a safe, secure parking lot just a 1/2 mile away from the new Cowboys Stadium. It's great for easy in/easy out access, with an affordable price. No hassles waiting in traffic parking here after the game.
Our parking lot holds no more than 26 vehicles and is adjacent to our one story red brick and concrete stone building. You are welcome to come early and tailgate.
An independent taxi service is available at the parking lot for $3 per person to and from the game.
Managed by Safe and Convenient Cowboys Parking. This location is a business.
Look for a "Whitsell & Company" sign on the north side of the street. A high rise building is just north (or behind) us. On the south side of the street (across from us) are some three story condominiums.
Some GPS and map systems require the word "east" be placed after the word "flags". Our location is one block south of highway 30 between Nolan Ryan Expressway and Collins. We are on the north side of East Road To Six Flags.
If traveling east on highway 30 we suggest exiting at the Cooper Street exit, turning right (south) on Cooper, then turning left (east) on Road to Six Flags. You will pass Center Street, then Collins before arriving at 1275. If traveling east on highway 30 you may also exit at Collins Street. The Collins Street exit often has more traffic congestion than the Cooper Street route.
If traveling west on highway 30 we suggest exiting on Ballpark Way, turning right (south) on Ballpark Way, then turn right (west) at Road to Six Flags. Road to Six Flags runs next to the Texas Rangers Ball Park on its north side. You will pass the Texas Rangers Ball Park proceed through turnabouts, then cross over Nolan Ryan Expressway before arriving at 1275.

Families tear down cabins as Tulalip leases expire
Dan Bates / The Herald
Some neighbors have used barges and boats to remove salvaged materials from their houses at Mission Beach. The residents have to remove their homes and be off the Tulalip Tribes property by the end of March.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Jaime Erickson is one of two dozen residents of Mission Beach who has to tear down and remove her house and be off the Tulalip Tribes' property. Erickson's family spent 50 years' worth of summers and weekends at their cabin.
On the boardwalk outside, Jaime Erickson spies a couple of wood-framed windows she wants to salvage from her Mission Beach house as friends help tear it down.
"Signaling distress," a tattered U.S. Yacht Ensign flag flies upside down outside Erickson's house.
Bruce Agnew's family has had a cabin on the beach since 1925.
Mike Carey's in-laws have had a place there for 90 years.
None of them own the beachfront property on which their cabins sit, however. They've been leasing the land from the Tulalip Tribes, and the tribes want it back.
The 24 tenants had to be out by the end of December and the cabins have to be gone by the end of March. The buildings -- some basic, some funky, some quaint -- are being taken apart and torn down, one by one.
"We're all real sad. It's a lot of memories," said Erickson, 55, whose full-time home is in Everett.
The quarter-mile section of beach is located southeast of Tulalip Bay, below 59th Street NW, also called Mission Beach Heights Road.
The cabins are built right on the beach, up against a steep slope. Most of the bank has been eroding for years and slides have been an issue, Tulalip spokeswoman Francesca Hillery said.
The tenants, most of them on long-term leases of up to 30 years, were given notice in 2005 that they had to be out by the end of 2012 -- more than seven years ahead of time, Hillery said. They were sent reminder notices again in June, she said.
The leases stipulated that any structures on the property be removed at the renters' expense when the lease expires, Hillery said. The leases also were intentionally timed to end simultaneously, she said.
The tribes haven't yet decided what to do with the beach but the most likely choice is to restore it to a natural state, Hillery said.
"The likelihood of doing anything other than restoring the beach doesn't look good because of the instability of the slopes" and because of salmon recovery efforts, she said.
Hillery declined to comment on whether the public would have access to the beach if it is restored.
Erickson said the leases had been renewed so many times over the years that few thought they'd actually have to leave.
"Everyone's in denial," she said. "I never believed it."
Residents said there is some anger about the situation, but at the same time, they understand the property isn't theirs.
"A lease is a lease, unfortunately," said Carey, who lives in Bellingham. "It is what it is."
Only a few of the tenants live at the beach full time, Erickson said. For most, the homes are part-time dwellings. Still, the families have spent so much time at their cabins over the years that leaving and tearing them down is difficult.
"The tribe has been working with us very closely but the reality is my family has been there since 1925," said Agnew, a former Snohomish County Council member. "Tribal members who are very family-oriented can certainly understand the tragedy in losing a place we've had since 1925 with irreplaceable family memories."
The beach has a significant, colorful history.
The beach was named for a Catholic missionary church established nearby in the earliest years of the reservation, in 1858 by the Rev. E.C. Chirouse, according to Snohomish County historian David Dilgard.
In later years, the atmosphere at the beach was anything but pious.
Agnew, who grew up in Everett, said that early in the 20th century, his great-grandfather and others frequented fishing shacks on Mission Beach.
"The mining and fishing barons of Everett would go over and play cards and get away from their families," he said. "They'd take tugboats out there and drink and gamble and carouse away from the watchful eye of their families on Rucker Hill."
That tradition did not quite die out, according to Erickson.
The wooden decks on most of the homes ran together.
"It was just one big family. Everybody walked the deck and had cocktails with each other," she said. "It was a fun, fun beach."
The strip of sand boasts southwestern exposure with sweeping views of Whidbey Island, Hat Island, Possession Sound and Everett.
"The best time to be out there was with the storms and the connection with nature, the wild storms and tides," said Agnew, who now lives on Mercer Island. "Where else do you find white sandy beach 45 minutes from downtown Seattle without railroad tracks in front and without a ferry to take? There's no substitute for it."
Some of the tenants are paying Carey, who has a construction business, to tear down their cabins with an excavator. He said most are paying him between $9,000 and $11,000.
Friends, relatives, acquaintances and charity groups have been salvaging fixtures and appliances, according to Erickson.
"It's kind of a free-for-all. Everyone's just coming out here and taking what they want," she said.
Some are having their places taken down piece by piece and hauled away by boat.
"I've worked down here for 30 years on people's places that I'm tearing down," Gary Werner, of Lake Stevens said.
"I'm taking apart stuff I built for people."
Agnew said it will be easier for tenants to accept their loss if the beach is restored to a natural condition.
"Anything other than that would be really sad," he said.
Hillery said the tribes understand the families' emotional connection to the beach. Tribal members also feel a connection, she said.
"It's ancestral land," she said. "It's a very important cultural area to the tribe."

Casio reclaims the title of world's smallest GPS watch
August 23, 2006 Casio was the first watch manufacturer to create a wristwatch with a built-in Global Positioning System (GPS) way back in June, 1999 with the release of the SATELLITE NAVI as the top model of the outdoor watch series, PROTREK. It created a new genre of wrist worn devices but alas, in the ensuing seven years, the likes of Garmin, Suunto and Timex have come out with smaller, more elegant wrist worn GPS solutions but as of September 30, Casio will be back with the smallest GPS watch available in the form of the GPR-100 priced at JPY54,000 (USD$464). To achieve its goal, Casio has had to develop a "microminiature high sensitivity GPS reception antenna of length 19mm" and a small advanced GPS module (11mm-12mm). The result is the world's lightest GPS watch, weighing just 64 grams, and the world's smallest GPS watch at 63.1mm x 49.5mm x 17.1mm.

Gallery: Pixel Building: Australia's First Carbon Neutral Building is N...
The office building includes a native-planted green roof that harvests and collects rainwater.
Pixel is a 'Future Office' – a prototype for commercial buildings that produce their own power and collect their own water for a future carbon constrained world. The four story building is home to developer and construction group Grocon who wants Pixel to serve as an example for their other projects. The project achieved a perfect score of 100 through the Green Star rating system and earned an extra five points for innovation for achieving carbon neutrality and including a vacuum toilet system, the anaerobic digestion system and reduced car parking. The developer is also targeting USGBC's LEED certification as well as the UK's BREEAM rating system to prove how well designed their building is.
The office building includes a native-planted green roof that harvests and collects rainwater. Based on historical rainfall, the building is capable of harvesting all the water it needs inside the office, making this building water neutral as well. Energy efficient design, which includes the use of the pixelated shade screen facade, double glazed windows, daylighting and natural ventilation minimize the need for energy. Meanwhile, solar panels and vertical axis wind turbines on the roof generate enough energy to offset the building's electricity use. The Pixel Building's vibrant facade gives it a unique identity and sets it apart from the neighboring structures, and its super sustainable strategies set it above most buildings in the world.

Phoronix: Mephistopheles: Not All Linux Games Sell Well
While some indie Linux game sales have generated more than two million dollars in two weeks, that isn't the case for all indie Linux games. One example of a Linux game struggling is the latest title from Kot In Action, the well-known game studio behind the Steel Storm series...
humble bundle, and i'm sold.
over to you.....................
Knot tried the Humble Bundle for his last game (Steel Storm) and got (according to him) a tiny fraction of money and after the bundle the sales of his game droped [source].
He's not going to be trying that route again because there's no guarantee that the same thing won't happen.
I'm not surprised. When I first saw this I thought it looked like a poor clone of Hexen 2. Considering Hex2 is over 15 years old, that's not a good first reaction.
And that's the problem with "alpha-funding". You have to have something that people want to buy. In this case they have a tech-demo but little more. Give it a few more months' work and I'm sure it'll look a lot better and people will be more interested in in.
Of course there are notable exceptions. Tim Schafer can get a couple of million without providing anything because he has a track record of making awesome games in the genre that he's proposing releasing. Kot-in-Action doesn't have that track record.
I didn't reply to the last article because I didn't want to sound overly negative but that was my reaction too. If they had coded the engine from scratch then maybe they would have had an excuse but given that they are using DarkPlaces, this essentially looks like Quake with different models. A half decent coder and modeller could probably come up with this in a few days.
*yeah right, 'cause since these Linux people are used to testing and using alpha/beta/RC software all the time so they're going to pay you $10 just for the privilege to test your game... mmmkay
*this is a different type of game/play than the previous one, one needs more proof that they can deliver a fun game after all.
*stop reposting the whining bit from the Humble thing, it makes them look even lower, their game=their contract, negociate better next time and don't act surprised that gamers that bought your game with $1 don't suddenly recommend your game to another 10 who want to buy it full-price
*what guarantees does one have that they will not pull a Primal Carnage trick down the road? :-|
well it does look kind of awful...
if you are going to advertise a game with a tech demo it should be a good one... the fact that its on linux isnt quite enough.
is there any cracking story? any other enemies? dialogues? cool fighting skills?
and the promise that if people opened their wallets the next one will be better, sounds like the church, promising a joyful afterlife.
Possibly because people hate preordering games that may sound good on paper but may be terrible? I don't remember the guys at Frictional complaining of low preorders.
Sure Tim Schafer and Ron Gilbert can e-beg for advance funding and actually break 2 mil on their own http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...fine-adventure but theres a few key differences, they've got a long history of producing really good games and they're offering all kinds of perks to those that cough up a certain amount. (Also, Larabel, Y U NO POST THAT THEY ARE MAKING LINUX VERSION!?!?!?1)
There are very few game devs I would ever even consider buying a game prerelease no matter the cost. Possibly the only one I would still do that for is Kojima Productions which are the guys behind the official Metal Gear series of games as they always hit it out of the park.
Steel Storm is a great great game. I paid full price for it. I don't regret it. Its a game I completed. If you don't own it I would recommend. it.
I also own just about every Alpha Funded project. I would get Starfarer; Project Zomboid...both fun and playable now. Lots of developer feedback
That said. The embarrasing DLC Steel Storm; The Humble Bundle Whine; Difficult Genre to Sell have will not get me to part with even a few pounds.

This slightly-spicy take on white bean and tuna salad is perfect to take to work for a tasty lunch! |
(For Phase One Fridays I highlight Phase One recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites, and this Spicy Cannellini Bean Salad with Tuna, Peperoncini, and Parsley is something I would enjoy for lunch any time of year. If you have fresh parsley in your garden, give this a try!)
I made this Spicy Cannellini Bean Salad with Tuna over and over this summer, after I got infatuated with peperoncini, those slightly hot and spicy peppers that come in a jar with brine. It's definitely a variation of my White Bean Salad with Tuna and Parsley, and the first few times I made this, it was just for lunch, with no thought of blogging the recipe. Then when I realized I'd made it for the third time, I decided the the addition of peperoncini added such a kick to this salad that maybe some other peperoncini-lovers out there would like to try it. If you're a South Beach dieter who's looking for things you can make ahead and take to work for your lunch, this salad would be a perfect option for that too.
Gently combine the marinated beans, drained tuna, chopped parsley and chopped peperoncini.
Spicy Cannellini Bean Salad with Tuna, Peperoncini, and Parsley
(Makes 2-4 servings, depending on what else you eat with it, recipe created by Kalyn as a variation of White Bean Salad with Tuna and Parsley, a summer lunch favorite for years.)
2 T fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1 T peperoncini juice (brine from the jar of peperoncini)
5 T extra-virgin olive oil
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 can (15.5 oz.) Cannellini beans (or use any type of white beans)
1 can (5 oz.) tuna packed in olive oil, drained (I love Tonno Genova Tuna in Olive Oil.)
4 large peperoncini peppers, drained, seeded, and chopped (about 2 T chopped peperoncini)
1/2 cup chopped parsley (or more)
Whisk together the lemon juice, peperoncini juice, and olive oil, then add salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste. (I used a generous amount of pepper, but not much salt.) Combine the drained beans with 2 T of dressing and let marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
Drain olive oil from the tuna and discard. Wash parsley, spin dry or dry with paper towels, then finely chop. Drain peperoncini, remove seeds, and finely chop.
Mix the drained tuna, chopped parsley, and chopped peperoncini into the marinating beans and gently combine. Add additional dressing until the salad seems wet enough to you (I used about 3/4 of the dressing.) Season to taste with additional salt and fresh ground black pepper if desired, and serve.
This can be served room temperature or chilled. This salad will stay good in the refrigerator for a day or two, and would be great to take to work for a lunch salad.
I can think of a lot of other things you could add to this salad including diced red onion, chopped kalamata olives, chopped red bell pepper, or chopped cucumber. If anyone tries some of those variations, I'd love to hear how you liked them.
South Beach Suggestions:
This is a perfect lunch salad or side dish salad for any phase of the South Beach Diet, or any type of low-glycemic eating plan. The salad isn't low in fat, but olive oil is a "good fat" for the South Beach Diet.

Eating Green
When you're eating for your health, it pays to go for the green. Not only do these recipes with verdant vegetables, fruits, and emerald-colored herbs contain disease-preventing antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and fiber, they're also low in fat and calories. This month, make green your lucky color. Balsamic Kale and Radicchio Sauté
Serve a delicious and healthy side dish made with kale, radicchio, and garlic.
Snap Peas with Herb Butter
These gorgeous peas are lavishly tossed in a butter and herb mixture with dill, chives, and lemon juice.- Photo: Leigh Beisch; Styling: Merilee Bordin
Fresh Peas with Mint and Green Onions
The combination of fresh peas with mint yield a harmonious and nutrition side dish. Peas are in the legume family, and these vegetables are typically high in protein and fiber, yet low in fat and cholesterol. Because they're higher in protein than many other types of vegetables, they're a good source of protein in vegetarian diets. Avocado-Tomatillo Dip with Cumin Pita Chips
Tomatillos add extra tartness to this smooth guacamole-style dip. Serve with chips, or use it as a topping for chicken or fish.- Photo: Ellen Silverman; Styling: Toni Brogan
Buttery Lemon Broccolini
If you're in a rut with plain broccoli, try broccolini, a cross between broccoli and Chinese kale. The fresh lemon rind and juice brighten the flavor of this side dish.Recipe: Buttery Lemon Broccolini
Chilled Sesame Asparagus
Cooked asparagus is quickly chilled and then tossed with a simple soy-sesame vinaigrette for a tangy side dish to serve at pot luck gatherings or with cold cuts and sandwiches.Recipe: Chilled Sesame Asparagus
Braised Mustard Greens with Spring Onions
Meltingly tender, these mustard greens get a little snap from a drizzle of cider vinegar and a good quantity of spring onions.Spring Pea Salad with Creamy Curry Dressing
Wonderful flavor comes from Madras curry powder--it's bold but not too heavy. If you can only find regular curry powder, start with half the amount we call for.
Fava, Sweet Pea, and Sugar Snap Salad
With four green ingredients–fava beans, sweet peas, sugar snap peas, and mint–this recipe makes the all-star list of fresh green dishes. A red wine vinegar and Dijon mustard vinaigrette adds a little zing to the sweet and tender veggies.Cucumber Soup
Cucumber, avocado, and fresh dill all contribute to the beautiful jade tint of this chilled soup. Enjoy it as a first course or as part of a light lunch.Recipe: Cucumber Soup
Mixed Greens and Nectarine Salad
A three-ingredient, 5-minute green salad is an ideal accompaniment for any main dish. For a truly green-themed dish, replace the nectarine with either Granny Smith apple or green pear.Recipe: Mixed Greens and Nectarine Salad

Baby Artichokes with Creamy Horseradish-Dill Dip
If there are any pink or purple leaves in the center of the artichoke, scoop them out with a spoon or cut them out with a knife; they'd be tough even after cooking. Soaking the artichokes in lemon water prevents them from browning. - Photo: Quentin Bacon; Styling: Anghard Bailey
Lemony Cucumber Salad
Don't forget that something fresh, vibrant, and crunchy is often missing from potluck gatherings; this easy salad will get gobbled up quickly because it satisfies on those levels.Recipe: Lemony Cucumber Salad

Former Giants closer Brian Wilson has chosen to sign with the Dodgers, according to multiple reports. The popular reliever with impressive facial hair and a more impressive fastball was a key figure on the 2010 World Series champions.
A Yahoo! Sports report said Wilson will report to the Dodgers' complex in Arizona, then head to Rancho Cucamonga. He could report to the big-league club in as soon as two weeks.
When he arrives, Wilson will likely serve as an eighth-inning setup man ahead of closer Kenley Jansen.
The 31-year-old Wilson had Tommy John elbow ligament transfer surgery in April 2012, and had thrown recently for teams at UCLA. The Giants, Pittsburgh Pirates and Arizona Diamondbacks were also believed to be serious about signing Wilson.
The right-hander recorded 48 saves and posted a 1.81 ERA for the Giants in 2010, then added six more saves in the postseason as the Giants went on to defeat the Texas Rangers in the World Series. His final save came in the clinching game.

At 2:46pm (local time), 11 March 2011, the largest earthquake in Japan's history damaged the infrastructure around several reactors. This led to a loss of cooling water from around the nuclear fuel in three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station. The nuclear fuel in each reactor has begun to heat up and melt, releasing large quantities of steam and hydrogen gas. Over the last three days this hydrogen gas has exploded in each reactor, severely damaging each one. There is a lack of information coming from Japan as to the release of radioactive materials into the environment – though it is safe to say the situation is very serious. Greenpeace is monitoring the situation, and we will continue to post updates here as it evolves.
