Grand Isle worries about flooding amid festivities
Even as part of the Coast Guard stationed here and the rest of the oil cleanup equipment left the island, trucks were trucking in portable toilets, ice and other supplies for the big concert to be held on the beach.
Petty Officer Sara Francis said about 50 Coast Guard personnel located in the extreme tip of the island, which is prone to flooding, left early Saturday morning. She said the 50 remaining would just "hunker down" unless the storm intensified.
Police Chief Euris DoBois says high tide passed with no road flooding, so he expected visitors to be able to travel to and from the island without road closures. Much of Louisiana Highway 1, the
only road on and off the island, is below sealevel and floods during storms.

Where's your truckstop?
Oct 30th
This begins a new series of five articles on getting more from your existing marketing program for little or no money.
My hometown of Knoxville seems to be the epicenter of the U.S. Interstate highway system and, most logically, mega-truckstops have sprung up at the intersection of major routes. These truckstops offer ACRES of every possible good, service and convenience for the trucker: clothes, food, showers, truck accessories, parts, repairs — anything you can imagine.
I've fantasized that being a marketing manager for a product aimed at truck drivers must be the greatest job in the world. Think about it — all you have to do is get your product on the store shelf and hundreds, maybe thousands, of customers drive to see you every day! Wow. What could be easier than that?
Marketing your business might not be THAT simple, but there is a lesson here. Where's YOUR truckstop? Where do YOUR customers congregate?
If you can answer that question, it might lead to important insights that can make your marketing initiatives more effective, focused and inexpensive.
Where do your typical customers gather to get their news and information? Entertainment? Recreation?
Where do they shop, dine, exercise, worship?
What Internet sites would they most likely visit? What magazines do they read?
Are there businesses similar to yours where your customers buy goods and services? Could those "truckstops" also offer YOUR products and services in a partnership?
There are several relatively inexpensive ways to conduct this simple research and it might lead to ways to create competitive advantage through your targeted marketing efforts.

For FBR15 ticket information, please visit
With their alternative hip-hop style and use of live instruments in favor of looped samples and canned beats, Gym Class Heroes caught the ear of Fall Out Boy├óĆÖs Pete Wentz, who immediately signed the group to his Decaydance imprint and released their Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen debut, 2005├óĆÖs ├óĆ£THE PAPERCUT CHRONICLES.├óĆØ The Geneva, NY-based group spent much of the next two years on the road, including a now-legendary stint on Vans Warped Tour ├óĆś06 which had them playing two sets a day to euphoric audiences across North America.
├óĆ£AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN├óĆØ arrived in 2006 and quickly catapulted GCH to international superstardom via the #1 blockbuster hit, ├óĆ£Cupid├óĆÖs Chokehold/Breakfast In America.├óĆØ The track was a multiple chart-topping crossover smash, earning RIAA platinum while also driving ├óĆ£AS CRUEL AS SCHOOL CHILDREN├óĆØ to gold certification for sales exceeding 500,000.
Gym Class Heroes followed up their breakthrough success with 2008├óĆÖs ├óĆ£THE QUILT,├óĆØ featuring such extraordinary collaborators as Busta Rhymes, Daryl Hall and the band├óĆÖs longtime friend and collaborator, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. The album received critical hosannas from an array of national publications, including Alternative Press, which awarded the album four-and-a-half stars and hailed it as ├óĆ£a sampler of styles (sweet reggae, early-├óĆś90s rap, blissful punk-pop) where every square makes sense.├óĆØ
In 2010, GCH├óĆÖs main man Travie McCoy unleashed his genre-busting, groundbreaking solo debut album, ├óĆ£LAZARUS,├óĆØ and immediately earned another colossal crossover hit single in ├óĆ£Billionaire (Feat. Bruno Mars).├óĆØ The 2x RIAA platinum-certified track proved one of the year├óĆÖs defining singles and an unqualified multi-format phenomenon, drawing a cumulative audience in excess of 1 billion.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Jeter comment exposes Bayless again
About a year ago, I walked out of my apartment in New York City and saw a line 500 deep of teenage girls and their mothers screaming their heads off.
Yankees captain Derek Jeter brushes off Skip Bayless' insinuation that his big year is a result of PEDs.
"What's going on?" I asked one of the starry-eyed moms, assuming a pop star or world-class athlete was inside the hotel they were crowding in front of.
"Kim Kardashian's filming her show in there!" she screamed back at me with excitement.
It was as if someone had just handed her a lottery ticket with the winning numbers. This was her moment. She, a woman in her mid-forties, was going to lock eyes with Kim Kardashian.
The Kim Kardashian craze is something I've never quite fully grasped. She's famous for having a reality TV show, which I know are very popular at the moment. But she got that reality TV show because she was in a highly publicized sex tape a few years ago, right? Yet, mothers and daughters cling to her as a role model of some sort. Is she clever? Not really. Is she inspiring? I wouldn't think so. Is she unique? It doesn't seem like it. So why the widespread attention and mania around her every waking breath?
Kardashian's all over the headlines, but it's baffling to me as to why anyone would pay attention to her. In the sports media world, there's only one man she can be compared to.
Jeter's been linked to a bevy of beauties — no wonder, since he's one of baseball's sexiest men.That man is Skip Bayless.
Every few weeks or so, Bayless says something on his daytime ESPN2 show "First Take" that ticks off everyone in sports media world. Like clockwork, someone with a verified account tweets about Bayless' stupidity, the rest of the sports media world chases after the bone with wagging tongues, and it — somehow, someway — becomes a "story." It's a vicious cycle, one that repeats itself far too often, and one that can cause right-minded people great frustration.
Bayless knows what he's doing and the result of his chicanery. ESPN knows that whatever formula Skip's concocted, it's working. And the same writers that pound their fists and pump out 140 character tweets at whatever trash he throws out there, know that it's coming.
Yet, time and time again, everyone falls for the bait — hook, line and sinker.
Bayless's latest act has been made especially newsworthy because of the subject, the city and the type of implication he has made. There are few things more sacred to New York sports fans than the purity of Derek Jeter. Trash Eli Manning all you want, call Carmelo Anthony a ball hog if you must, but do not tarnish the glory that is No. 2 in pinstripes.
In the midst of what, arguably, has been the best season of his entire career, Jeter's a legitimate MVP candidate at the ripe old baseball age of 38. And while Bayless stopped just short of saying the shortstop is taking performance-enhancing drugs — "I have no idea," he said on Wednesday's show — he didn't deny the possibility.
That's all it took. A suggestion and a shrug, and the rest of the sports media world was off and running, hurrumphing and tweeting minutes later. A few hours after the show, a reporter asked Jeter about Bayless' comments. The shortstop responded, and voila, you have a national story the next day.
Jeter didn't appreciate the implication, telling the New York Daily News: "Whenever you have people that anytime you bring something like this to light with guys that are doing things, it's like, now you have everybody questioning everything. That's the unfortunate thing. Maybe Skip should be tested."
Asked if he were bothered by Bayless' backhanded accusation, Jeter shrugged.
"This is a first for me, man," Jeter said. "I don't know what to tell you. … What do you want me to say? I ain't getting involved with this, man. You can say whatever you want to say now, huh? There's no repercussions."
Meanwhile, The Associated Press ran a story on Bayless's accusation, Will Leitch at New York Magazine got on a perch to shout Bayless down, and just about every sports blog with an audience of five readers or more had its own "Anti-Skip" take. And here I am, writing about it now.
This is a story, about a non-story, involving a guy who likes creating stories out of nothing. How meta can we get?
Sports is the ultimate "unscripted TV." No wonder so many athletes have appeared on reality shows.And yet, it's news. It's part of the national conversation.
The sick part is that unlike Kardashian, Bayless was actually once a widely respected master of his craft. I grew up reading him and enjoying his work on ESPN's "Sports Reporters" program throughout my childhood. He always had a flair for the dramatic, but he could write the hell out of a story. He played a leading role in breaking the SMU "Death Penalty" case back in the 1980s, and despite some moments he'd likely rather forget, he was one of the main voices following the Dallas Cowboys during their glory years of the early 1990s.
Bayless drifted out of the public eye for some time in the 2000s but is no doubt enjoying a career revival up in Bristol these days. His show, which has enjoyed a ratings bump since it moved into an all-debate format last year, is one of the more buzzed-about sports programs on TV, and every athlete knows his name and face.
He is a world-class rabble-rouser, instigator and media personality. But he is not a moron. Bayless knows what he's doing every time the producers say, "Action!" Who are the morons if we're the ones falling for his act time and time again?
I have met Bayless on multiple occasions. You may be shocked to read this, but he's actually an incredibly nice, rather soft-spoken, guy off-camera. That changes, of course, when the lights come on and he morphs into the character he's being paid to play. He's no different than Dwayne Johnson turning into The Rock or Terry Bollea becoming Hulk Hogan once they dim those arena lights and crank up their introduction music.
In the ever-changing world of sports media, when trending on Twitter or having Richard Deitsch complain about you in Sports Illustrated seems to be just as important as winning Peabody Awards, I'm not sure any of us can really fault him. If buzz and ratings are his objectives, Bayless is achieving and exceeding his goals by a mile.
The last time I met Bayless was when I went up to Bristol to promote the book I wrote with Victor Cruz this summer. The first thing he did was tell Cruz, a New York Giants wide receiver, that the rival Cowboys were going to win the NFC East this year.
Did he really believe it? Who knows? But it made for good TV, as Cruz was put in a position in which he had to defend his team and explain why Bayless was wrong. Four minutes of heated debate later, ESPN had its TV gold. Cruz and Bayless posed for a photograph afterward, handshakes were exchanged and we were on our merry way.
Bayless isn't a bad person, and he's certainly not dumb. He knows exactly what he's doing.
If people just ignored him, his act would change, and he likely would fade away.
But with all the attention his every word gets, with all the ink spilled, it's really no different than waiting outside a hotel lobby to link eyes with Kim Kardashian.
We know, deep down, that we are better than this. And, yet, we're screaming over nothing, just like those delirious mothers and daughters hollering for Kim K.

How The Raiders Improve For 2015 Since This Season Is Lost Already
Regardless of whether the Oakland Raiders win a game this season or not, the year is lost. It's time to look at next season's roster, anticipating that a new general manager and a new permanent coach will be in charge of the Silver & Black for 2015 and beyond.
Injury Report: 4 Key Injuries For Raiders Defense This Week
The last thing the 2014 Oakland Raiders need is more injuries to their defense, but that's what they get this week as they prepare to play the Cleveland Browns Sunday on the road. If the Silver & Black can't stop anyone's offense, they'll never win a game this year.
Injury Report: A Few Key Question Marks For Raiders This Weekend
So much for staying healthy after the bye week. The Oakland Raiders' official injury list almost doubled this week from last, as eight players are nursing sore body parts. How that will impact Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals at the Coliseum is still not clear.
Studs & Duds: Raiders' Bright Spots Hard To Find In 0-4 Start To Season
The Oakland Raiders have plenty of duds to explore so far in the young 2014 season, but it's tough to find some studs in the debacle that has contributed to an 0-4 start to the year. The Silver & Black just don't have much to highlight right now, which means it's going to be a long season.
What Can The Raiders Do Now In Order To Win In Week 6?
The Oakland Raiders have a bye week to lick their wounds from the 38-14 loss to the Miami Dolphins at Wembley Stadium in London last weekend. If the Silver & Black wants to win in Week Six against the San Diego Chargers at the Coliseum, they need to fix many things in the next two weeks.
Injury Report: Raiders Linebackers Hurting For London Match Against Dolphins
The Oakland Raiders defense needs all the help it can get every game, so when three linebackers could possibly miss the next contest, it's something to be concerned about for the team. Heading into Sunday's Wembley Stadium matchup against the Miami Dolphins, the Silver & Black also will be without backup quarterback Matt Schaub.
Daily Madden: Raiders Injuries Are Sign Of The Times
The Raiders are headed to London to play the Dolphins without receiver Rod Streater and safety Tyvon Branch, both hurt in the loss to the Patriots Sunday.
Raiders, Jets Both Nursing Many Wounds As They Prepare To Face Off Sunday
The Oakland Raiders have some injury issues at running back, and the New York Jets have some health concerns at wide receiver — and both teams might just want to get through their next four games as fast as possible.
Raiders Offensive Line Main Concern Heading Into Sunday's Game Against Eagles
Oakland's roster is pretty healthy right now, which is good news as the Raiders host the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday and try to get back to .500 on the 2013 season.
Raiders Need To Relax To Keep Defense Running Smoothly
The Oakland Raiders enjoyed their bye week by taking a much needed break after losing three of the last four games. Still, they know there is work to be done but a little rest and relaxation was just what coaches called for to maybe help improve the offense and keep the defense running at a good pace.

Catskill is a town in the southeast part of Greene County, New York, United States. The population was 11,775 at the 2010 census.[1] The western part of the town is in the Catskill Park. The town contains a village, also called Catskill. The village of Catskill has a well-defined Main Street that has adjusted to the recent construction of a WalMart, Lowe's and Home Depot. There is a public boat launch on the Hudson River called Dutchman's Landing.
[edit] History
The area of the town was purchased from the natives for some trinkets in 1678 and settlement followed. The town was established in 1788 while still part of Albany County. The town was increased by an addition from the town of Woodstock in 1800, but was later decreased upon the formation of the towns of Cairo (1803) and Athens (1815). [edit] Notable residents
The area was part of Albany County when that original New York county was created in 1683. [edit] Research Tips[edit] External Links

Council recount scheduled for December 3
The final tally from the Nov. 3 election showed incumbent Port Orchard City Councilwoman Carolyn Powers leading challenger Cindy Lucarelli by 12 votes, requiring a machine recount that will take place on Dec. 3.
While the race was not the closest race in the county, it was the only one to prompt a recount.
Bremerton City Councilman Brad Gehring lost his race by 10 votes, but the margin exceeded the required .5 percent.
The Powers/Lucarelli contest showed a gap of .4 percent.
Kitsap County Elections Supervisor Dolores Gilmore said most election totals change after a recount. If Powers maintains a .25 lead, she will win the race; if it slips below that level, a hand recount will be required.
Gilmore said the Auditor's Office will spend the next few days pulling the ballots out of storage and sorting them according to precinct.
Once sorted, stacked and verified it will only take a few minutes to count the 2,716 ballots, according to Gilmore.
The final results will be announced at a meeting of the Canvassing Board at 2 p.m. Dec, 3.
The meeting, like the entire process, is open to the public.
This is the second consecutive Port Orchard City Election where Lucarelli has come close to unseating an intrenched incumbent.
In 2007, she came within 49 votes of beating John Clauson, who was then (and now) the council's longest-serving member.
This margin was not narrow enough to trigger a recount.
Powers, who was appointed to the council in 1988, is its second-longest serving member.

A 27-year-old alleged shoplifter is in custody after he fled from Chatham-Kent police, throwing packages of meat as he ran.
The incident began just before 6 p.m. Monday at the No Frills grocery store on Warwick Drive in Wallaceburg.
According to police, a store employee noticed the male suspect taking meat out of the freezer and concealing it on his person.
When the man left the store without paying for the meat — which had an estimated value of $55 — the staff called police.
Officers flooded the area. The man took off running and police pursued.
The suspect was seen dropping the meat on the ground during the chase.
Soon after, he was found trying to hide in weeds along a railroad track behind a housing complex on Westcourt Boulevard.
He was arrested and faces charges of theft under $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, and failing to comply with conditions.
Chatham-Kent police said it was later discovered that the man was in breach of release terms on a previous charge.
The incident wasn't the first time Chatham-Kent police have dealt with meat theft. In January, a 14-year-old male suspect allegedly stole more than $400 worth of meat over a weekend in Chatham.
Police said they've had cases in the area where stolen meat was sold for drug money.

I worked at a public radio station for eight years and I sometimes thought it would be fun to have my own show. So perhaps there is a bit of irony since I no longer work in public radio and I am finally going to get my own show!
The newest member of Lullabot's podcast family is Hacking Culture, featuring in-depth interviews with free software advocates.
Over the past couple of years, the Drupal community has been hard at work trying to confront a variety of challenges concerning Drupal core development, especially issues like burnout and funding.
"You're always you, and that don't change, and you're always changing, and there's nothing you can do about it."

I am writing to announce that I have made the difficult decision to resign from Wisconsin Public Radio. My last day will be Friday, February 14. I have accepted a job offer to be a Senior Developer at Lullabot.
I hope that you see a lot of reminders to vote this week. Of course, I am referring to the vote for the Drupal Association (DA) Board of Directors. I have already seen a number of blog posts and tweets that link to the candidate profiles, the first and second "meet the candidate" sessions, and the URL where you cast your vote.

United Students Against Sweatshops launches college tour to fight Teach for America
Posted By Lindsay Wagner On March 28, 2014 @ 11:41 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
United Students Against Sweatshops (USAS), a national student labor organization that fights for workers' rights, launched this week the "TFA Truth Tour [1]," which they characterize as a campaign to fight back against the corporate robber barons of education reform on college campuses by exposing the truth about Teach for America.
The tour will visit 15 college campuses to educate students who are considering joining Teach for America about how its business model works.
From USAS' press release:
Imagine your favorite professor. Now imagine that this professor will be replaced by someone who has only been trained for 5 weeks and will only be at your university for two years. They don't know anything about you, they don't know anything about the community at your university, and they don't know anything about your life and how it relates to your capacity to learn. Now imagine that this isn't happening just to your favorite professor, but to every professor at your university. As you can tell, this is a situation that would devastate and destabilize your university.
That's what's happening in K-12 public education. For example, in Chicago the Board of Education slashed the budget for schools and fired teachers, yet increased its financing [2] of TFA from $600,000 to $1.6 million and brought in over 300 TFA corps members. In Newark, the superintendent, an TFA alumnus, is likely to fire 700 teachers [3] and replace most of them with TFA corps members. But as one study [4] noted, TFA "is best understood as a weak Band-Aid that sometimes provides some benefits but that is recurrently and systematically ripped away and replaced."
In order to operate, TFA depends on its partnerships with universities to get corps members certified to teach in each state. While teaching, corps members must attend classes at a university, which in some programs can lead to a master's degree. In effect, TFA uses our universities' names to make up for its own weak training programs and convince state boards of education that its members are "highly qualified" to teach.
But students are refusing to allow this to happen any longer. We are joining together with parents, teachers, and TFA alumni to expose the truth about TFA.
At a TFA Truth Tour stop at the University of Pennsylvania, half the room was filled with students considering TFA [5]:
"I can't tell you how many stories I've head of students at schools being told, 'If you get a job offer from Goldman Sachs you can defer that offer and still do Teach for America and then carry on with your real career,'" said Jan Van Tol, a national organizer with USAS. "That runs counter to what we believe, which is that teachers should be well-trained, well-educated professionals. Teaching is not a hobby you just do for two years."
Last year, North Carolina's lawmakers decided to ditch the renowned NC Teaching Fellows program and instead funnel more money to Teach for America.
The NC Teaching Fellows program awarded $6,500/year scholarships for tuition at an in state college to North Carolina high school students interested in teaching. In return, students were required to teach for four years in North Carolina after graduation. The highly regarded program had high retention rates, with 75 percent of Teaching Fellows continuing to teach into their fifth year, whereas Teach for America's retention rates are poor [6]: only 28 percent of TFA teachers remain in public schools beyond five years, compared with 50 percent of non-TFA teachers.

Policy: IV.F.1x |
Issued: July 17, 1989 |
Owner: University Bursar |
Latest Revision: |
This policy describes the general guidelines for payroll check distribution.
2.0 Policy [Top]
The Bursar's Office, Check Distribution Section, receives all State paychecks for the University of Virginia, and all locally produced paychecks for the University, Medical Center, and Clinch Valley College. These checks are sorted by department and taken by messenger to Regional Payroll Distributors, or mailed directly by U.S. certified mail.
Regional Payroll Distributors serve as central distribution points for paychecks. They receive payroll envelopes for approximately twenty departments in their area of the University. Each of these departments picks up its own paychecks in payroll envelopes from the Distributor and returns unclaimed paychecks in envelopes to the Distributor after two weeks.
The University is divided into several hundred payroll departments for payroll distribution purposes. These departments usually coincide with major academic or administrative departments. However, some departments are consolidated for payroll distribution purposes or a large academic or administrative department may have more than one payroll department.
Payroll departments are identified by three letter codes called Home Department Codes (HDC). Each of these payroll departments has Payroll Distribution Officers who are responsible for controlling and disbursing payroll checks.
2.2 Regional Payroll DistributorsRegional Payroll Distributors are usually Departmental Payroll Distribution Officers who have been designated by the Bursar.
See also:
- Procedure 4-28, "Duties and Responsibilities of Regional Payroll Distributors"
- Procedure4-29, "Preparation of Regional Payroll Distributor Payroll Bag Release Form."
2.3 Departmental Payroll Distribution Officers
It is the responsibility of the department/activity head of each payroll department to appoint Departmental Payroll Distribution Officers.
See also:
Procedure 4-30, "Designation of Payroll Distribution Officers."
Departmental Payroll Distribution Officers are responsible for complying with all policies and procedures related to payroll check distribution. They should be particularly familiar with the following:
- IV.F.1 "Payroll Check Distribution"
- IV.F.2 "Unclaimed Payroll Checks"
- 4-30 "Designation of Payroll Distribution Officers"
- 4-31 "Duties and Responsibilities of Payroll Distribution Officers"
- 4-32 "Processing Unclaimed Payroll Checks"
- 4-33 "Preparation of Payroll Transmittal Form"
- 4-34 "Preparation of Payroll Distribution List"
- 4-35 "Preparation of Paycheck Mailout Form"
- 4-36 "Preparation of Designation for Individual Paycheck Pickup"
Payroll checks are never released prior to payday. The only exception is when an employee is permanently leaving the country. In this case, the employee's department head should submit a written request to the Assistant Comptroller -Accounting Operations to release the employee's paycheck early.
2.5 Not Releasing Checks for an I-9 FormEven if payday has arrived, Check Distribution Section will not release wage employee checks until the employee or department returns a completed I-9 form to Personnel. The Bursar's Office will hold the check until receipt of release form from Personnel. However, such checks are held for one month only. After that time, the checks are redeposited into a holding account.
For more information on the I-9 Form see:

With newspapers laying off workers and buying out others as their advertisers move online, many talented writers and former journalists are following the ads to the internet.
Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the fast-growing new media marketing fields that have a need for skilled, news-savvy writers. But some journalists still harbor misgivings about joining what David Meerman Scott referred to as "the dark side."
Rather than PR, new media marketing like search engine optimization (SEO) is doing precisely what journalists would do at their traditional places of employment: using their communication skills and seasoned judgment to tell stories that have an impact people's lives.
Paul Bradshaw points up the irony of talented journalists leaving newspapers in order to work in search engine optimization (SEO) for companies that have been hired by those same newspapers to improve their online presence. While the situation may not always be as strange as that, journalists should put their minds at ease about some of the opportunities available to them on "the dark side."

Subject: | [TowerTalk] Ufer ground using copper wire |
From: | "W7CE" <firstname.lastname@example.com> |
Date: | Thu, 13 Sep 2007 08:43:01 -0700 |
List-post: | <mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com> |
I'm planning on an Ufer ground in my new tower base. I've seen several sites recommending 20' or more of #2 or larger copper wire wrapped around the outside of the rebar cage. Are there any chemical reactions that make using copper a bad idea? I seem to recall reading something about that a while back, but now I can't find any mention of it. If copper is ok, I'm thinking about putting a pounding a copper ground rod into the bottom of the foundation hole. The copper wire will be attached to it and then wrap around the rebar cage and come out the top of the pad. Comments or suggestions anyone? 73, Clay W7CE _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |

Di Matteo delighted by Albion graft
Albion had to overcome the shock of falling behind to a 12th-minute opener from Jamie Mackie before a strike from Shelton Martis and a double from Marek Cech - his first goals for the club - moved them onto 14 points from six games.
Di Matteo said: "It was hard work. At the end, the result may have looked comfortable but it was a hard game for us.
"Plymouth came out of the blocks really well and we had to change a few things around.
"But getting the equaliser and a second goal before half-time was important and we were better in the second-half.
"We are top of the league and we will enjoy that. We are also still unbeaten and we will enjoy that as well.
"We have our philosophy of how we want to play and we can score from anywhere in the team, which is important.
"We are going in the right direction and I think the chairman is very happy that we are unbeaten."
While Albion are top of the table and flying, Plymouth boss Paul Sturrock was left downcast after again seeing his side undone by a poor defensive display.
Plymouth are without a win this season and have collected only two points from a possible 18.
Sturrock, whose side changed their strip at half-time from white to green after struggling to pick each other out, said: "Until we lost the second goal we did very well.
"I am going to use a phrase I have used for the last six games and that is, 'if only'.
"But we can't keep saying, 'if only'. We are losing bad goals and Paul Sturrock prides himself that his teams are normally hard to score against.
"The first goal came from a corner and we spent 45 minutes working on defending them in training on Friday and my worry now is that it is playing on the minds of the players.
"We have lost too many from set-pieces. We just need a wee break because at 2-1 down we hit the bar.
"The important thing for us is that we get just three points from somewhere even if it is with the worst performance of our lives and the ball goes in off someone's backside. That is all I want."
Plymouth initially stunned Albion when the impressive Alan Gow sent Mackie clear.
Mackie easily brushed aside the challenge of Shelton Martis and powered forward from the edge of the area.
The angle at the near post looked too acute but he somehow slid his weak shot under goalkeeper Scott Carson from two yards.
Plymouth should really have doubled their advantage in the 22nd minute when Gary Sawyer headed wide from close range and that proved to be a costly miss as Albion dragged themselves back on to level terms through Martis 12 minutes later.
He had the simple task of pushing the ball into an empty net after Plymouth goalkeeper Romain Larrieu failed to collect a corner from Graham Dorrans.
Albion were a different proposition after parity was restored and they were rewarded for a spell of intense pressure when Cech gave them the lead in spectacular style five minutes before half-time.
Roman Bednar neatly flicked the ball into the path of Cech and the Slovakian international left fly with a fierce 25-yard drive that whistled past the helpless Larrieu for his first goal since his £1.4million move from Porto last summer.
Plymouth were inches away from an equaliser when Karl Duguid hit the bar in the 52nd minute and again when Carson tipped Cillian Sheridan's header over the bar.
But Cech sealed Albion's success with a neat finish from eight yards when he converted a cross from the hard-working Dorrans.

Hey everybody, i see there is a sale through tonight for the game. I use to be a more hardcore player but want to start back playing MMOs after a 2 year break. But gonna come back with a more casual playstyle. But i still like to progress and was curious what people do at endgame. I think GW2 is suppose to be different at endgame but havent done much research. Is it dailies, pvp, dungeons, raids or what? Also do you progress your gear at endgame too? Thanks for any tips.
get bored with zerging in WvWvW and quit
I don't play anymore. Haven't played for a few months, but I would highly recommend. It's probably the best video game there is for the price you pay, and if it is on sale that is even better. I play and love a lot of video games so that is not a biased opinion. |
PvE side, you can do dungeons until you get max equips aka Exotic level goods. They added ascended weapons, though it's terribly grindy and costly in gold to get those. You can also do dailies to work towards ascended jewelry or do fractals to get them. Aside from that it's WvW or PvP along with the content they release every 2 weeks. There was no gear treadmill until they recently added ascended weapons, but the weapons are only slightly more powerful than the old best, the exotic grade equipment. I don't know if they are going to continue with a gear treadmill because people complained and it's honestly a real chore to grind the materials on top of doing the painful crafting grind/goldsink. There was ascended armor in the works too. Honestly the thing that bugged me most about ascended equipment was that if you use a gun and a sword, that's two crafting jobs you need to get to 500. On top of that, they aren't tradeable to my knowledge. |
Originally posted by flguy147 There's no endgame in GW2. There's no dailies, no PvP gear to farm in sPvP (you have access to everything in sPvP), you can run dungeons to start getting gear for WvW and other dungeons if you want to play it, there's no raids too. The game has a really small gear progression once you hit max level and that's about it. Also once you hit max level, you either explore more of the world if you like that stuff, farm dungeons for gear with needed stats and easy gold, sPvP, WvW and do the stuff related to the living story. No need to rush for max level in this game, just play at your own pace and do what you like the most. You get rewarded with xp for nearly everything you do. |
There are daily and monthly activities you can do, which give you a reward chest. You need to do 4 or 5 activities from a pool of about 10. Things like do 4 group events or kill 20 elites or craft so and so. Often you complete some or even all of them by just playing normally. Another thing, your character will get scaled down if you do low level world boss or event, but you still get high level rewards (loot) for them. Most of them are pretty easy unless you only got a few people doing it but Teq the Sunless (world boss dragon) apparently is hard since they changed him (I haven't done him since the change). Hard as in groups failing the event. |
Originally posted by SirFubar Yes there are dailies. For quite a long time now lol. When the hell did you play last? There is a "Monthly" as well. GW2 is a highly structured currency grind where your progress - in gaining purely cosmetic items - is controlled by daily rewards in Laurels. Even high level crafting of Ascended craft items are on Daily timers now too. Arenanet is acutely aware that people are bored with their game and the bread crumb approach of Dailies was added to keep people logging in. They throttle your cosmetic item progress just enough to create tension so you breakdown and buy Gems in the Cash Shop. GW2 endgame? grind baby grind. GW2 has more currencies than any MMO I've ever played. Oh the fanboys will be quick to point out..."but its not mandatory grind!!!" Well it is if you want something to do other than standing around in LA doing costume brawls lol |
Originally posted by flguy147 Not to be rude, but if you're concerned about endgame, GW2 is most likely not the game for you. There's a lot to do at 'endgame', but the game isn't designed around that mentallity at all. People who mostly play MMOs to hit level cap get burnt out on this game fairly fast. The game is more about exploration, customization, and skill. Less about who has the best loot (stat wise), setting up scheduled raids, etc. This is not to say these things don't happen, just that the game does not focus on them. At all. It is still a good game, with lots to do, but it's mostly enjoyed by those who either like to take their time and do things at their own pace. Or those who are immersed in WvW / PvP. There are dailies and such, but that's not a good reason to pick up a game, tbh. |
Lets see. You can PvP in arenas. You can PvP in WvW. You can farm to get materials and skins. You can run instances to get materials and skins. You can go after achievements, for titles and for the points to get achievement chests (every 500 points) that have loot, account wide bonuses and special skins once in a while. You can max your magic find via luck. You can do guild missions. Alts. So basically everything you do in other games. Currently playing: GW2 |
Actually there's nothing at endgame imo. After zerging down a few bosses in Orr and then doing some zerging in WvW it got very boring very fast for me personally.
Originally posted by Gaia_Hunter + they can ditch the carrot-horse thing and actually have fun in the game, no looming shroud of "I HAVE TO GRIND GEAR TO MATTER" addiction anymore. "going into arguments with idiots is a lost cause, it requires you to stoop down to their level and you can't win" |
Originally posted by Wiha That's a person who obviously didn't play since a long time, if the only level 80 content he remembers is Orr. My computer is better than yours. |
Originally posted by prayerless Something like this guy said ;) IF you want mmorpg that actually has progression, something you can grind for, etc. Guild Wars 2 is not it. I played GW2 for 5 months, crafted 2 legendaries and sold my account. Go play game that has a future, guild wars 2 is about creating alts and alts and alts. Dont expect any expansion soon or EVET ... all you can look forward in gw2 are new shallow items from shop with limited ugly skins and outfits. |
PvP: -Skin collection -Rank up (access to more skins and emotes) -Tourney Qualifications if you are really good WvW -Rank up -Abilities (they're actually quite useful) -WvW season 1 is currently going on PvE -Biweekly updates -Dungeons -Dailies/Monthlies -Fractals -Ascended Weapon Crafting (Rank 500 in weaponsmith, artificier, and/or huntsman) -Guild Missions -Just having fun "As you read these words, a release is seven days or less away or has just happened within the last seven days— those are now the only two states you'll find the world of Tyria."...Guild Wars 2 |
The exact same things you've been doing.

Originally posted by bcbully Pretty much this. Replace power grind for cosmetic grind and achievement grind..... There is no real sense of progression in the normal sense. If that isn't important to you than this is a game for you. James T. Kirk: All she's got isn't good enough! What else ya got? |

Originally posted by stevebombsquad There is no real sense of progression in sPvP, only cosmetic. There is sense in progression for WvW, unless you're full ascended and legendary on all your toons. This is good if you just want to play for a few hours a day. If you need a replacement for a real job/life then you're better off playing WoW of RIFT or something. Since the OP wants more casual and is done with hardcore, he could do a lot worse than GW2, in fact doing better will probably be next to impossible for quite a while. |

A kid's dream - so many theme parks!
Would recommend
We took the kids to Disneyland and California Adventure. We purchased a 5 day pass. Our kids are 4 and 6 so we spent most of our time in Disneyland as the rides were a little more appropriate for their age and heights. The biggest attraction right now at Disneyland is to see the Elsa and Anna from Frozen. The wait to see the movie characters was approx 3 hours long. However, totally worth it if you have a little princess at home. :) However, three of our favorite rides are in California Adventure. (eg. Radiator Springs Racers, Screamin California and Hollywood Tower of Terror). You probably could do a 3 or 4 day pass over a 7 day period as I found we could cover all the rides and shows over that period. We also did a day at Universal Studio. The drive is approx. 1.5 hours with the traffic from Anaheim. What a great theme park - the new Minion area and ride was fantastic. We got the 'Front of the line pass' which is great as it allowed you to by pass the lines. However, the lines weren't too long at Universal. They were approx. 45 mins for the popular rides. The Anaheim Garden Walk and Downtown Disney have a lot of options for dinner. We usually came out of the parks for dinner and then went back in to watch the Fireworks or night shows.
Industry Hills 36 holes is a day well spent on the links.
Would recommend
I have visited Orange County CA many times over the years. It is one of my top 5 favorite vacation destinations. From visiting friends and family, to doing business.... it has it all. I love the golf in the area from Industry Hills to Newport Beach, Huntington Beach to Long Beach, Irvine to Palm Springs... all the way down to Torrey PInes in La Jolla, CA. All an easy 90 minute drive or less. The golf and weather excellent year round. Add in all of Hollywood and the Theme parks of Anaheim, beaches, night live etc. I even enjoy Mariner Church on Sunday's in Irvine, or Saddleback Church in Lake Forrest. What's not to love about this place. Excellent restaurants all around, shopping galore what more could you ask for. Throw in honkytonks as well. Unfortunately Crazy Horse has relocated to an area a little further away. NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL what more could a sport's fan enjoy? It has everything, that is why I return at least once a year, if not more.
Another awesome adventure in Anaheim!
Would recommend
Another awesome adventure to Disneyland! A surprise for the kids. Anaheim is full of great people and we always enjoy our stay in the area.
Excellent time of year to visit!
Would recommend
Went to Disneyland, San Diego Zoo and Universal studios .... was great time to go! Weather was good, accommodations at Hotel were good! Had a wonderful time!
Happiest place on earth
Would recommend
Wow! Beaches, Sunsets, Relaxation and shopping this is a must see location!!!
Would recommend
What an amazing location to visit. We stayed in the Laguna Beach area and it has the most amazing beaches with even more amazing sunsets. About 1 hour from LAX and 1.5 hours from San Diego you are close to everything yet out of the hustle and bustle of the bigger centres. This is a resort type of town with some amazing restaurants, art galleries and unique shopping. If you are into shopping there are 2 outlet malls within 30 minutes of the hotel. Great shopping. We spent alot of time walking the beaches and they were all very quiet and some harder to find than others but boy are they worth it!!!!! A great way to unwind and relax. Also drove along the coast up to Santa Monica and visited different beaches and piers along the way and by far Laguna Beach had the best beaches and Oceanside had the best pier and sunset. Go you won't be disappointed this is a truly amazing location!!
Yeah, SoCal, will be back before the year ends!!
Would recommend
Orange County...Anaheim, Huntington,Newport,Laguna, Dana Point and environs are THE BEST places for a vacation, anytime. My family has visited many times (my son was even married there) and we love it. My daughter and her family will be spending time there at the end of this month. We have experienced lots of rain, lots of sun and lots of heat (the Santa Ana's were blowing last time I was there) and even when the weather is not condusive to laying in the sun at the beach, it is still a spectacular place for a vacation. I can't even remember how many times we have spent glorious days in Orange Co.. Yeah, SoCal, will be back before the year ends!!
Something for everyone
Would recommend
Orange County has a bit of everything for everybody. Disneyland is amazing. You MUST see World of Color in the California Adventure side, its absolutely amazing. I highly recommend stopping at Knotts Berry Farm for the thrill riders, who love the rollercoasters! I'd also highly recommend checking out Laguna Beach and Huntington beach for some well needed beach time.
Great Place whether you are a Family or Couple wanting a getaway
Would recommend
I spent 4 days too short recently in the Anaheim/Orange County area. Enjoyed the obvious Disneyland and California Adventure Parks all I can say is WOW it was my first visit to these parks and everything people tell you about the being Disneyfied is true because I have caught the bug and will be back. I was fortunate enough to not only experience the parks but also Knotts Berry Farm the first amusement Park in North America if crazy roller coasters are your thing this is the place for you. Also was lucky to see Laguana and Huntington Beaches with true Southern California flare great wine , great food ,great people highly recommend this destination it has everything for everybody Family Fun if you need a family break or if you just need a quick get away for a little romance it is all here
One stop vacation spot to experience it all!
Would recommend
Fabulous destination that meets everyones needs and wants. Adventurous theme parks, close proximity to beaches and excellent dining choices. Your stay can be as busy as you want it to be or as relaxing as you wish it to be. Do not miss World of Color at California Adventure. If you are a thrill seeker Knotts Berry Farm is the place to be. Check out the quaint artistic Laguna Beach or stroll along the fabulous Huntington beach.
Would recommend
We had a perfect trip. The whole family had a blast, from the time we flew from Vancouver and landed in Anaheim to the time we got back in Vancouver..everything was perfect. I have alway booked my tickets with Westjet and have had no problems at all.
Would recommend
We went to Anaheim to take in Disneyland and also went to San Diego's Sea World as a family. We had a great time and would love to go somewhere again as a family. We always said that when we travel, it would be done as a family since our son deserves to see different parts of the world and experience it along with us. The people in Anaheim were very friendly and we enjoyed it immensely. We love to fly WestJet because of its friendliness and great customer service.
Orange County - need a rental car!
Would recommend
Orange County area is quite diverse - quite corporate in some parts with no culture and in other parts, gorgeous scenery and tasty restaurants. We stayed near to Balboa Island in Newport Beach and took walks through the Island and its quirky shops. We loved how clean and accessible everything there was...they even had astro-turf for grass in some parts so everything looked pefectly perfect. One word of advice though is to rent a car. There is little to no public transportation and to get to a nearby beach town requires driving. The awesome thing is - car rental is dirt cheap - way cheaper than attempting to take cabs.
Fun in the Sun
Would recommend
What's not to love when it comes to Anaheim? Disneyland and Disney California Adventure has everything an adventureous, free-spirit could hope for. So, I sent my daughter on a trip with her girl friends. From looking at the photos I know a good time was had by all. The trip was a high school grad gift: well earned. I've been to Anaheim/Disneyland twice (but not in the time period for this contest) and I loved every minute of it. Traffic is easy to navigate, parking is not a problem, hotels are close to the gate and food is reasonably priced. My daughter was safe. I knew I would nothing to worry about and I was right. She came home with a month's worth of tales to tell even though she was there a mere week. Memories to last a life time.
Sweet Orange County, CA
Would recommend
We stayed in Dana Point, a little beach side town just South of LA. It was perfect since we were within a short driving distance to all of the SoCal attracations such as Disneyland, Legoland, shopping in LA or San Diego, and the beaches. Southern California is the ultimate family destination. There is so much to see & do. Be sure to check out the small coastal towns such as Laguna Beach & Seal Beach - they won't disappoint!
Best West and Good Times
Would recommend
Anaheim and area was more than expected. It was beautiful and great for a family vacation. We would definitely visit there again, but maybe during the warmer months so we could spend time in the ocean. The was our first family vacation and we loved it so much. We have the travel bug now and would like to visit many more locations.
Birthday Wishes For Our Princess
Would recommend
My family decided to take our daughter to Disneyland for her 4th birthday. We stayed at Staybridge Suites which was amazing. They serve a full course hot breakfast free each morning along with providing kitchens and bbq's. It had a great pool where we spent each afternoon tanning,splashing and creating some great memories. We spent 5 full days at Disneyland, which included the highlight of our trip which was Breakfast with the Princess's on our daughters acutal Birthday. She got the honorable mention as it was her birthday and she got greeted by her favourite princess Cinderella. The breakfast was well worth the money and I highly recommend it. I was a little kid in a candy store when it came to Disneyland and I can not wait to go back again as we now have added another princess into our family.
Would recommend
My husband I took our kids to Disneyland this month! It was an AWESOME trip and full of fun and excitement! This is definitely a trip everyone shoudl have on their bucket list!
Travelling with small children
Would recommend
We stayed at Disney's Grande Californian and it is the best place to stay. You are so close to the parks that it's easy to go back for a change of clothes or a nap. Do not wait until you get there to book your character meals! You can book it well in advance to ensure you don't miss the chance. The best show is still Fantasmic and for it as well you can book in advance. Pricey but fabulous view and you don't have to wait hours to get a great seat for the show. Definitely worth the money!
Finally, Disneyland!!
Would recommend
We were finally able to save enough for a family trip to Disneyland. Our four children (aged 19,18,12,11 at the time) loved every minute. We also visited the San Diego zoo, Universal Studies, Long Beach, Sunset Beach, and Kat Von D's LA Ink studio (a surprise for our oldest daughter). Great trip!!
