LEARNED — Doing the impossible is seemingly what a small, independent school in Clay County is doing at the MAIS Class-A state tournament this week.
After claiming a District 3-A title and the runner-up trophy at the North-Central tournament in the past two weeks, the Hebron Christian Lady Eagles of Pheba remain alive in postseason contention.

WINONA — The Oak Hill Lady Raiders' and Raiders' respective seasons came to an end in the opening round of the MAIS Class-AA tournament Wednesday at Winona Christian School.
The Lady Raiders fell in the final seconds to the Brookhaven Lady Cougars after a fourth-quarter rally, 53-51.

SALTILLO — Redemption has been on the mind of West Point's five returning starters this past year.
After narrowly losing to New Hope in the District 2-5A semi-final last February, the heartbreaker has been the main motivator for one of the most successful basketball seasons in West Point High School history.
DTL staff
LEARNED — The Hebron Christian Lady Eagles bounced back from a North-Central tournament final loss and claimed a 60-32 win over the Trinity Episcopal Lady Saints Monday night at REBUL Academy.
Holly Hudson led the Lady Eagles with 16 points, Rebekah Falkner added 14 and Victoria Ferguson notched 10 in the win.
Hebron (19-5) used a big second quarter, outscoring Trinity, 20-7, and grabbed a double-digit lead at halftime, 33-20. The Lady Eagles held 22-point advantage at the end of the third quarter, 45-23.
CANTON — Anna Evans scored a game-high 23 points, Victoria Sprayberry added 17 and the Leake Rebelletes capped their 12th straight MAIS Class-AA North Tournament title with a 72-29 win Saturday afternoon at Canton Academy.
Evans scored her first 13 points during the first half, and Sprayberry knocked down three of her first five 3-pointers during the second quarter. The combination of Evans and Sprayberry gave Leake a 21-point advantage by the break, 37-16.
CANTON — The Oak Hill Raiders made great strides for its boys' basketball program this weekend.
Making their first appearance in the MAIS Class-AA North championship game, the Raiders looked to cap a perfect weekend, but the game turned bittersweet for the red-and-white.
Junior Alex Shepard scored a game-high 34 points, and the Leake Rebels defeated Oak Hill, 64-55, Saturday night at Canton Academy.
BENTON — After claiming their eighth District 3-A title in nine seasons, the Hebron Christian Lady Eagles were searching for another triumphant weekend.
Standing in their way was the District 4-A champions, the Carroll Lady Rebels, in the MAIS Class-A North-Central tournament championship game.
Behind strong second and third quarters, Carroll claimed the North-Central title over Hebron, 56-43, Saturday evening at Benton Academy.
Hebron Eagles 63, Immanuel Rams 66
BENTON – The Immanuel Christian Rams weathered a first-half storm to outpace the Hebron Christian Eagles in the second half (40-26) and claim a narrow, 66-63 win Friday night in the MAIS Class-A North-Central tournament at Benton Academy.
"We came out tonight with intensity, but we weren't doing the little things," Immanuel Head Coach Greg Watkins said. "We wanted this one real bad. We knew how good Hebron was, and I think that gave us some jitters. After halftime, we came out with a better focus."
CANTON – A lesson of perseverance was learned Friday night.
The Oak Hill Lady Raiders claimed a 58-54 win over the Winston Lady Patriots in a MAIS Class-AA North tournament semi-final at Canton Academy.
"About a week ago, it seemed like Winston had our number, but we got the one that counted," Oak Hill Head Coach Stan Hughey said.
The Clay County schools affiliated with the MAIS are headed to the basketball postseason after their respective district tournaments last week.
Oak Hill girls and boys teams qualified for the MAIS Class-AA North tournament at Canton Academy, and the Hebron Christian girls and boys teams claimed spots in the MAIS Class-A North-Central tournament at Benton Academy. Both tournaments start today with full-day slates after inclement winter weather postponed opening round games.

You can't use a website to determine what you need to eat to maintain. Thats EXTREMELY relative.
It's a tool, and it's only as useful as how you use the information. Regardless, way more reliable for more people than personal anecdotes.
Its based on age, metabolism, activity, food intake, etc.
I put that into the calculator.
I eat 3600 calories to maintain and I had to eat 6K to bulk. On my cutting cycles I was eating about 3K respectively.
Like you said, it's relative. You have a very high metabolism. I wouldn't use your own personal experience and start suggesting to everybody to consume 3600 to maintain their current weight.
No carbs after 3 . . . LOL is all i have to say to that. Especially since your working out in the afternoon. No carbs after about 7 is the most extreme I would go.
Yeah, it's a bit extreme. It's what Miletich makes his fighters do, but probably not sustainable for average person.
Youre going to look at yourself in the mirror regardless so saying thats good / bad is pointless.
My point is don't use that as the gauge of your success. A scale and measuring tape are way more reliable.
Counting calories will drive you crazy.
How do you know you were eating 3600 then 6000 calories a day?
It doesn't have to drive you crazy, and it's a lot more effective than going by feel.
Go by portion sizes. A fist size is one portion.
Not a bad rule of thumb for lean protein, but measuring portion and keeping track of calories aren't mutually exclusive.
The single most frustrating thing is going through all the stress, thought, and energy of dieting and exercise and seeing no results. Even becoming fatter, which is pretty common. When people see results, they think the effort is well worth it. Most diets don't work because people rely too much on "feel" and believe that there really is a way to get into shape without going hungry and without exercising. Look, it's a pain, but it gets easier, a habit, if you stick with it. I would rely on measuring tape, scale, portion control, and calories. Don't beat yourself up if you mess up every now and then. Actually, this is more general advice, the OP sounds like he's kind of already in shape but wants to get into really good shape.

Please log in or register to answer this question. 2 Answers 0 votes Best answer It is very possible that you fought a hacker, as you know Fake Out can only be used the first turn the Pokemon is in battle. More evidence is that he actually tried to use Fake Out, which proves he knew it would work. But it also could have been some type of glitch, but that still doesn't explain why he tried to use Fake Out in the first place.

Is Chad Johnson making yet another appeal to get Evelyn Lozada back?
A picture is worth 1,000 words…or in Chad's case about six. The former Miami Dolphins player was spotted walking around Miami wearing a shirt that read: "I just want to love you." His new tattoo of Evelyn, which seems to be permanent, was also on full display as he left a restaurant.
This comes just a day after Chad, who has gotten his estranged wife's face and nickname inked onto his right calf, made it clear that he's got no intention of giving Evelyn a divorce despite the fact that she has filed for a split.
Chad also changed his bio on Twitter. It currently sates, "Don't follow me… I'm not perfect… I'm not a role model… I'm not into acting yet… Oh and i love all of that from the E to the N."
But all of Chad's attempts to make things right with Evelyn are too late because she said there's no way she's going back to him.
"You can't repair this," Evelyn told People magazine. "Not right now. You just can't."
While she admits that she will "always have love" for her estranged husband, she's adamant that the marriage is over. "This is something you should never tolerate," Evelyn explained. "I don't care what the situation is—or who the man is."

Christmas in August poker run a success
It's amazing how things get done when it's time to get re-elected. For years, a ballfield has sat empty, with just a backstop in place.
It seemed to me that nobody cared whether or not it got any use for the kids in this county.
Beth and I finally discovered where the last lost-in-the-move items were nearly three months after the move following a recent visit to my parents' house.
Harvest Showcase not about politics
Most firsts in life are unforgettable.
Your first pet. First kiss. First car. First job.
First, allow me to congratulate the committee who organized this year's Harvest Showcase for another job well done.
In just the last few weeks, I've decided the only real advantage that GPS on a mobile device can accurately claim over a map is you don't have to fold electronics after getting finished with them.

Ten minutes of Resistance 3 multiplayer beta footage
By admin
Posted on July 22, 2011 AT 01:27pm
Posted on July 22, 2011 AT 01:27pm
Resistance 2 was a game that often got a bad wrap. Sure, the single player portion wasn't all it could or should have been, but I absolutely loved the online multiplayer.
For Resistance 3, all signs point to this being a game that will be every bit as good as the original Resistance, if not better. As for the multiplayer, so far I'm loving what I've seen.
Take this video, for example: all of the gun revisions look great, and this map looks absolutely fantastic to me. Watch for yourself, and see what you think.

Developer, property owner, full time resident & lover of everything the Hampton's has to offer!
Paul purchased this house in 2002
Great house, great location, great light, close to beaches & town!
My family rented this home for a two week get together this summer. We had a beautiful vacation in East Hampton and at this house. The home is very bright, open and cheerful. What's especially lovely is the deck and pool area which has lovely lighting for cocktails in the evening. There's even a small pond with goldfish and frogs that the kids just loved. All of the bedrooms were spacious with beautiful furnishings and the linens, kitchenware and other supplies were stylish and well thought out. The house is located close to the beach and town so was convenient. The owner lives nearby and was available to answer questions and even gave suggestions about what beaches and restaurants were best. We have rented houses in the Hamptons every year for the past 9 years and this is one of our favorites!
I thought it was a lovely home with many ammenities. I felt the description/pictures of the bedrooms and bathrooms were a little deceiving. Three of the six bedrooms were in the basement with 1 shared bathroom. There are two beautiful large (king size beds) bedrooms in upper level that share a bathroom and there is 1 nice bedroom (queen size bed) on the main level that must use a bathroom that is hallway that acts as the powder room as well.
The sheets and beds were extremely comfortable.
We stayed here with 10 friends for July 4th weekend and had a fantastic time.. The place was better then we expected and the area was central. There were enough spare beds to fit another 4 people.. The owner was very nice (think his name is paul) and he made it feel like our own home..
this house was unbelievable. my wife and i both decided this holiday season to head out to the hamptons for a change. we had no idea where to find a place or where to even start. we went to home away and started looking at properties. paul's house (the owner) was perfect. right from the start, from our very first phone call. paul is great, honest and upfront about everything and very very accommodating even before our arrival in prepping the house. there were no hassles and whatever doubt or concern we had going through an online website to send a significant amount of money to quickly subsided.
the house itself was unbelievable. it was my wife, our dog and later in the week my inlaws who flew in from chicago. the house has 3 gorgeous bedrooms on the main floors and then another 2 bedrooms downstairs as well as pull out couches everywhere if needed. the house was spotless and everything was in tip top shape. we were down the block form the village of east hampton and probably a mile or 2 from bridgehamtpon as well as sag harbor. its in a great area. fenced in yards, lots of space for the dog or kids to play. huge beautiful pool (it was winter so no swimming!!) we took plenty advantage of the fireplace, which paul was great to leave plenty of firewood for.
we went to the beach everyday and just lamped up in the house for 7 straight days. it couldnt have been more comfortable. the house wasnt too big and overwhelming it was perfect. great kitchen for cooking and baking!
the whole experience was wonderful. we really werent hampton people at all before, but we definately be back at Paul's house soon. i highly recommend this house for a perfect getaway.
I love the fall in the Hamptons and this house was just perfect for the occasion! Clean, well appointed and in a great and central location. I'd highly recommend it to anyone renting in the hamptons year round. Hope I can rent it next summer!!
The Hampton's is the ultimate year round resort destination perfect for any gathering or for anyone. From its beautiful beaches, tremendous surf to its international shopping, dining, Polo and cultural events, there is something for everyone in the Hampton's.

Dobbs Courts Latino Support, Angers Nativists
Think back to Jennifer Anniston's distress when Brad Pitt dallied with Angelina Jolie; Debbie Reynolds' angst when Eddie Fisher strayed with Elizabeth Taylor. Now meet the latest big-name heartbreaker: Lou Dobbs. No, he hasn't left his wife. But some of his most ardent anti-immigration supporters at Americans for Legal Immigration PAC – ALIPAC — are feeling shock and betrayal like that of a cuckolded lover. Lou, they cry, has embraced the enemy, caught in flagrante delicto on the American Spanish-language television network, Telemundo, making nice to Hispanics and immigrants. And if you missed the program, why, there it is on YouTube. To some ALIPAC members, it was comparable to a far-right conservative discovering Ann Coulter in a steamy tryst with Bill Maher.
Dobbs, you recall, left CNN as abruptly as a ruler toppled in a coup on Nov. 11, after the SPLC and other organizations had persistently urged he be fired because of his repeated falsehoods about undocumented immigrants on his CNN show and on his radio program. One of the most infamous myths, in 2005, was that they were at least partly responsible for 7,000 new cases of leprosy in the United States in the prior three years. There actually were about 400 new cases, and nobody knew what role immigrants had in those numbers. The Columbia Journalism Review wrote that Dobbs was "tamper[ing] with facts" and David Leonhardt wrote in The New York Times that "Mr. Dobbs has a somewhat flexible relationship with reality."
Then Dobbs was interviewed on Telemundo's Al Rojo Vivo on Nov. 20. He assured the Latino community that he is one of its "greatest friends" who has been falsely portrayed by the far left. He told interviewer Maria Celeste that "we need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions." He added, "What isn't working is a penalty to those who are in this country illegally for whom we can both be building a bridge to the future in which there is legalization and at the same time constructing an environment in which everyone is clear and unequivocal about the need for border security and a regulated flow of immigration."

Schools, drainage dominate elections
Area city council representatives also up for vote
Bond issues for school facilities improvements in Gregory-Portland and Beeville and a proposed tax increase to fund drainage in Aransas County dominate a long list of city and school district elections around the area.
Some area city council representatives are up for election, as are some school board trustees. And beginning Monday voters can decide who they want to elect and in some cases how much money they are willing to pony up for better schools and infrastructure. Early voting ends May 6. The election is May 10.
In Aransas County, voters have several races on the ballot, including the choice between longtime Rockport Mayor Todd Pearson and challenger Bill Cobb. They also have school board trustee elections and a special county election that could increase county property taxes to pay for countywide drainage improvements.
In Portland, Gregory-Portland Independent School District administrators want district residents to approve a $30 million bond issue that would pay for a new elementary school campus, as well as other fixtures and upgrades throughout the district. Beeville Independent School District wants $12 million for school construction and improvements and to buy new school buses.

I found the addiction part when playing EQ1 weekends at a time sometimes 20 hours a day when not working. And while working always with my head in the game thinking about what I will be doing in the game when I get off of work. It put a strain on my marriage to say the least and my wife and I almost got divorced. For the first time ever I am glad my computer died, I was not able to play for about 3 months while assembling another and it broke my addiction to the game.
Now a few years later WoW comes and I feel the same jones sometimes when not playing the game, but older and wiser now I have learned how to manage game time and real life time, I found many things that I can do that I enjoy just as much as MMO's. Great article for those who are struggling with this.
Oh btw, I am returning to WoW again after a break of about 3 months, why? Because I am interested to see new content, visit some friends and just pass the time.

So much truth to that, and it's yet another angle on an ever increasingly multi-angled situation that I, at least, see unfolding as time goes on - certain people's personalities are just not well-suited to MMORPGs and they are the victims of their own playstyle.
I won't get into it entirely here because it should be its own thread, really... but I see patterns of behavior in the who would argue that MMORPGs are "all about the end-game" that all seem to lead back to the same thing... inevitable burnout and boredom in a relatively short period of time. Many invariably blame the developers for not developing enough content...
One counter-argument so often (ab)used is "you just suck at MMOs". No... they don't "suck at MMOs". MMOs are not "difficult games" - especially not when there's a guide for practically anything you can think of available on line, for any given game. The difference is in how the two groups approach the game.
Now, as to which is approaching the genre with the right mentality... My opinion is it's definitely the latter. Why? Well, first there is no "right or wrong" approach - you play however you want to play. However, in terms of which group gains the most long-term enjoyment out of the game and, in my opinion, gets more of their money's worth... I would have to say the latter has it hands down. And, yes, I do believe that the latter group approaches the MMO genre with the mindset better suited to the type of games MMOs are and were conceived as.
It's not about which playstyle is right, wrong, better or worse. It's about choosing the game that best suits your play style to get the most out of it.
Nice post sir.
Some good observations.

this article is more like, what are the warning signs that you're an absolute loser? IF you are finding excuses to do something that is boring and you aren't enjoying, that just means you don't have enough to do with your life! The warnings signs for me that I shouldn't be playing an MMO are that I'm enjoying it too MUCH, not finding new ways to force myself to keep playing.

What a wonderful article, and very much on the money. I have my own little story to add...
I actually spent more than four years playing, and happily addicted at times, to Star Wars Galaxies. However, I for one miss the original game (pre-CU) and even a bit post-CU. In the summer following the CU and Rage of the Wookies (summer 2005), I had just finished my BA and my wife (who's Japanese) went to Japan for four months over that summer. Since launch (2003) and up to that summer of 2005, I had dabbled in SWG (casual player) depending on school, my wife, our life together, etc. Then, when she left for Japan for those few months in 2005, and after my graduation, I was actually out of school AND out of work. I soon got a job at a local fast food restaurant, but still had a massive amount of free time (compared to being a triple-major in college with 22+ credits a semester). That summer I played SWG well-over-12 hours a day, 7 days a week. I soon requested my two days off for each week to come back-to-back, so I could play 18-24 hours the first day, sleep the morning of the second, and play about 12+ hours on the second day off. My best friend, who also worked at the same place, moved into my apartment for the summer, and also began played SWG. We lived off of sacks of free burgers and fries from our work we brought home on our bikes afterward, and Miller High Life 30-packs from the gas station near my apartment. When patches were released, or when the servers were restarted, my friend and I would freak out. I remember a few of my days off, waking up, ready to get in game immediately and disappear into a Galaxy far, far away... and seeing that my server Flurry was restarting or down: I would pace my porch eating microwaved day-old burgers and drinking High Life at 7am to the sunrise in Colorado...my buddy smoking nervously, the both of us chatting emphatically about our characters, what we had planned for the day, how much these down-times disturbed our lives, etc.
Then, one day, my wife called. She always did every Monday, Thursday and Saturday evening (morning there in Japan). She always asked how I was, how things were going, what I was up to. "Good, great and just hanging out, missing you." This particular phone call, however, I hung up afterward and was literally looking in my bathroom mirror by chance. An overwhelming feeling of guilt and selfishness overcame me, actually to the point of nearly tears. Staring back at me was not a recent honors graduate 24-year-old that should have been writing a knockout resume. Instead, there stood this slightly-more-chubby, shaggy and scruffy, red-eyed, yellow-toothed man that looked like someone who lived in his parents basement on a video game. That was about two weeks before Asuka returned from Japan. I took a temporary break from SWG, quit my job at the fast food place, started jogging and working out twice a day, and within a week landed a much-more-decent job at a video game store as it's assistant manager (then store manager shortly after, if not temporarily: that next year I would put my BA to good use as an archaeologist at a local wilderness organization). My wife returned from Japan, and I couldn't wait to spend every minute with her.
I look back on that summer with mixed emotions, but mainly I miss it in some weird way. I was able to devote every waking moment, just about, to Star Wars Galaxies. Then I had to grow up, all over again, and did. Over the next few years I would play a number of games, if not briefly: Vanguard, Guild Wars, WoW, LotRO, Aion, and many others, most recently Fallen Earth. However, I am always conflicted. I desire to have those endless days on days to play a beloved MMO, to be taken whole by that addiction and relish it, but at the same I sense overwhelming guilt while playing a game for more that a few hours. Recently, over the past month or so, I've barely even turned on my desktop. I don't have any single MMO, not counting Guild Wars (which I haven't really played much since November), and likewise I can't even get much into Fallout 3 or the Elder Scrolls series (my usual stand-by's). I think, in some ways, I am waiting for that right game that I can play in BALANCE with my life. So far, since SWG, no game has swept me away, and I wonder often if I will ever find another that will. Possibly, it's not the game that matters in that respect, rather our life situation. Maybe I only got addicted to SWG at the time because of it not only being a great game but my life, free time and manner being aligned to allow me to disappear into it. Who knows...
I miss that addiction in many ways. I miss SWG, that summer, and all that free time and sense of haplessness. It reminds me, very much, of being a child in a way: long summers with little to worry about except having fun. But at the same time, I very much enjoy taking my wife out for coffee on a friday night, or a movie, or just reading a great novel (which I've very much fallen in love with again, thanks to Glen Cook and his "The Black Company" series). I don't know if I've grown out of MMOs so much as just scared myself away from them. Maybe that's a lesson in and of itself? But I do know one thing for certain: Colorado sunrises sure are more beautiful while jogging high up on a ridge overlooking the mountains then they are pacing my old porch while sucking down burgers and High Life, fretting about when the SWG servers will come back online...

If it wasn't for my Wii I would still be playing MMO, RTS, FPS online games. I used to spend all my waking time other than work time playing online games. Now with my Wii I spend maybe an hour a day online, and an hour on the Wii. It's amazing how much free time I have to go outside for walks and what not. Wii ftw!
Probably the biggest sign imho is if you're playing or have played 3 different MMOs in the past month, it's time to quit hehe (guilty of playing 6 or 7 back in march/april)

Post prego bewbies feel amazing!!
I was once addicted and put aside a lot of responsibilities. But it's like the guy said. It's a lesson learned. But I grew up on gaming. I'm not going to complain about grinds or content or even the social aspect. If I play a game and everything kind of just falls into place then I would be sticking with it for the long run. I have a wife and kid so during the day it's full of errands, chasing him around, making meals and going out to have fun. When the kid and girl is asleep I log on for a few hours and maybe do this a few times a week. But I'm not in a race and it makes the game more enjoyable. MMO's are just like any other hobby. It is something you enjoy and invest time in. And people tend forget that it is in fact a hobby and spend too much time and start to neglect things in their life. As for me, gaming isn't a "phase". I play when I can and enjoy every minute of it. I have my outside life with the family that I enjoy but I still require personal time for the things I like.

My experience started with an old online game called the Realm. My character was Nagic and though I never progressed past level 300 of the 1000 levels available I truly enjoyed the social aspect of the game. I was a trader and through skills I did almost all of my progression in town. As a trader I interacted with others in the game more than most and made lots of friends. I found myself paying for a months membership to find an old friend named 0ak some 7 years after I had quit the game. A guy from Canada (im from Michigan) that I even managed to meet IRL.
From there I moved to Everquest. 7 yrs later my girlfriend of 6 yrs informed me that 40+ hours a week of gaming was no longer acceptable and it was then I took notice that I had addiction issues. It was named Evercrack for a reason. I chose to give up my addition and moved on to WoW. Been in WoW now for some 4.5 years and I have yet to raid anything. I get on...socialize a little, run a few instances or quest then get on with my day. I still think sometimes I play to much but its far better than when I was in EQ.
Even with this reduction in game play silly addictions still plagued me. While bored with WoW I took a break a couple times and found City of Heroes and Eve online. CoH was great out of the shoot and held my attention for a long while. Eve online was however a very difficult game for me to pick up on but I loved their skill training progression. I could improve my character even when off line. I was hooked. My inability to pick up on the skills needed to survive in lawless space had me put the game on the back burner for over 4 years. I kept telling myself, I will keep playing WoW or CoH for fun, and training my skills in Eve so one day I will be able to play. I was around 60 million training points in, some 4 years subscription time, and I could still not effectively play the game. I would log in long enough to reset my training to the next skill..talk for 10-15min then log out sometime for as long as 40 days of training before logging back in to reset to the next skill. One day I asked myself WTf I was doing. At 60 million training points if I still couldn't grasp enough of the game to survive it was never going to happen...what a total waste of $. $15 x 48 months of paid time...preparing to play a game.
These games definitely have massive addiction potential that need to be guarded against and can make it very hard to know when its time to quit. They can quickly become an excuse to be ones only interaction with other people. Nothing can replace face to face interaction with people. For entertainment purposes only. Not to meet your mate, not to meet your only friends, Not to find new friends. Can they help in these areas? Absolutely. But if getting out there and doing it face to face isn't a part of the process you are missing what life is supposed to be about.

As a longterm player of MMO I have to say that I have faced this basic problem over and over again.
That said, I have always found the problem to be more one of lowering populations, especially at the this time of year, when people return to school/work or cut out on less necessary expenditures of time/finances for a while in order to recoup from the festive season.
At the moment I am downloading LOTRO, a game I vowed never to play again :P, simply because I cba to play the game I spent 12 hours a day on over xmas - more a case of burn out than boredom. LOTRO has a nice easy pace and it doesnt matter too much if there are few people around to group with.
Thumbs up for the basic point of the article. It is always waise to retain some self aware objectivity in MMO simply because they can be so compellingly immersive that you lose perspective on how much you are starting not to enjoy them.
For me, a change of pace or scene always seems to do the trick, providing an injection of new energy and enthusiasm.
Probably the most important thing I found is to remember that it actually is the social aspect of a game that ends up being the most engrossing and to focus on developing a good framework for socialising rather than on loot, kill or xp count.
That said, lol, how often have I forgotten exactly that in the mad dash for ingame excellence :P

Enjoyed the article, As a very old gamer (Star Trek input via a deck of punched cards) I would expand on one factor. No closure. MMO's just go on and on until you reach the final level resulting in endless dailies and dungeon runs until the next expansion pack is released. While I have played a great many MMORPG's I always end up bored falling into the habit of creating about every possible combination of character and class just to play a little while longer. Part of the problem of course is "me". I have played RPG's for so many years that elves and dwarfs have absolutely no appeal anymore. Logging in and just chatting with guild members for a few minutes holds my attention for a few weeks prolonging my final departure from the game. Playing a Star Wars/Star Trek MMO's is not much better and sort of like digging out old VCR movies stored in the basement.
Even standalone games such as Dragon's Age did not hold my interest past a few days. The first game I have completed it a while was Mass Effects 2. It was a nice change and I was sorry to see it end, Yes I have completed others, Hellgate, Fallout 3 etc but they fell in to the category of lets just get it over with.
Unlike the younger players, I do miss out on many aspects of some of the game features. PVP and raids are no longer possible. Slow reflexes, and stiff fingers eliminate them as viable game options. I don't expect game makers to accommodate my special needs. However; it would be nice if they could create intermediate milestones in the game that at least make you feel as you have achieved something important relative to the storyline. Something that you an accomplish on your own without a group or the reflexes of a 10 year old. Different storylines based upon consequences of actions you chose or quest series for different classes or races would be nice abet time consuming from a developers standpoint. I know some developers have tried to a limited extent.
So here I sit a GAME ADDICT looking for something new to help pass the time of day until late spring arrives, meanwhile there is housework to do, meals to fix and crossword puzzles to solve. Oh joy!
Maybe that new BETA I saw will be the fix.

I also eventually get bored with MMORPGs. My first time through WoW I got up to a level 41 Warrior (not that high really), I have stoped and started several times since then, including: 38 rogue, then 37 priest, then 32 rogue, then 12 mage, 30 hunter, 10 warrior, 12 priest, 8 druid, 5 rogue, and probably others, and all with various breaks in between. What I notice is that it takes less and less time to get bored. [Kill, loot, level, repeat]=GRIND. I'm playing EVE now, and even with my Hulk, Iteron V, Orca, and Obelisk, I will eventually get bored.
One bit of advice for MMORPG companies, you better make it easy to quit (not confusing, and annoying, and calling customer service). Easy to quit also means easy to come back, and I probably will. If you make it hard to quit, I will never come back.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

WASHINGTON—When Sally tells Jimmy that he's going to hell for believing in a false religion, is that Sally exercising her First Amendment right to free expression, or is that Billy getting bullied?
A broad coalition of educators and religious groups – from the National Association of Evangelicals [7] to the National School Boards Association [8] – on Tuesday (May 22) endorsed a new pamphlet to help teachers tackle such thorny questions.
Authored chiefly by the American Jewish Committee [9], "Harassment, Bullying and Free Expression: Guidelines for Free and Safe Public Schools," contains 11 pages of advice on balancing school safety and religious freedom.
"There are those who believe that we can't have restriction on bullying and protect free speech; Conversely there are those who think that the rules against bullying are so important that they trump any concern for free speech," said Marc Stern, the AJC's chief counsel and lead author of the pamphlet.
"The organizations that have joined in these guidelines believe that that's a false choice."
Among other groups endorsing the pamphlet: the Muslim Public Affairs Council [10], the Christian Legal Society [11], the American Association of School Administrators [12], the Hindu American Foundation [13], the Islamic Society of North America [14], the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism [15] and the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations [16].
A national conversation on bullying that began about a decade ago has been punctuated in recent years by the highly publicized suicides of harassed gay students, and "Bully," a new documentary on the subject.
Now the federal government, 49 states and the District Columbia have anti-bullying policies in place, noted Charles C. Haynes, director of the nonprofit, Washington-based Religious Freedom Education Project [17]/First Amendment Center, which funded the pamphlet.
And while cases in which these rights conflict in schools are rare, they do happen.
"There have been recently in the news some situations in which anti-bullying policies have been used to punish Christian students for expressing their personal religious beliefs while at school," said Kim Colby, senior counsel of the Christian Legal Society.
Colby cited the case of a Fort Worth high school student last year. In German class, Dakota Ary [18] said he believed homosexuality is wrong, and got suspended for it. His teacher had called the comment an instance of possible bullying. Ary's suspension was later reduced.
Stern said the pamphlet was not written in reaction to such cases.
"Each side to this debate can cite horror stories," Stern said. What the pamphlet hopefully will do, he continued, is give educators a framework to avoid the horror stories, and teach students how to express themselves civilly in a democratic society.
The pamphlet can fill a need the judicial system has not, said Francisco M. Negron, general counsel to the National School Boards Association.
"It talks about the difference between what constitutes a personal attack, and the expression of an idea," said Negron.
The pamphlet is based on current law governing speech rights and public schools. Private schools have far more leeway in regulating student speech.
Generally, though, giving students more, not fewer, opportunities to express themselves tends to dampen the most noxious speech, Haynes said.
"Most of the time you have problems when schools try to censor the kids from saying anything," he said. "When they're given an opportunity to be civil about their views, and to have a forum that is theirs, in my experience, most students take that very seriously and are very responsible."
Some excerpts from the pamphlet:
-- "Words that convey ideas are one thing; words that are used as assault weapons quite another."
-- "Repeatedly bombarding a fellow student with otherwise protected speech, even if it ostensibly conveys an idea, can also constitute harassment."
-- "Schools themselves are free to communicate in a non-coercive way their own views on subjects that generate controversy in the community."

Paramedic Training in Houston, TX with Program and School Info
Several schools within 50 miles of Houston, TX, have paramedic training or programs. Read an overview of the paramedic programs, requirements and admission info at three schools 35 miles or closer to downtown, and find out which school is the right one for you.
Houston, TX, Schools Offering Paramedic Training
This article examines three schools within 45 minutes of downtown Houston and the paramedic training programs they offer. It also includes a table of facts about each school that aspiring paramedics should consider, such as school size, type and the graduation rate. The programs at all three schools prepare students for paramedic certification through the Texas Department of State Health Services. At the end of the article are the names and a little information on several more Houston-area schools that offer paramedic training.

Applicants, who must be at least 18 years old and high school graduates or the equivalent, are required to show proof of current CPR and EMT-Basic certifications, current immunizations, liability insurance, completed physical examinations and criminal background check clearance.
College of the Mainland
College of the Mainland consists of a main campus located on 128 acres, four educational centers and six partnering high schools. The college offers certificate and degree programs across several areas of study, ranging from accounting and business administration to emergency medical technology and network systems technology.
EMT-Paramedic Certificate
College of the Mainland's paramedic program can be completed in one semester. Students must be certified EMT-Intermediates within the first six weeks of the program. To enroll, applicants need to pass reading and math tests and show proof of completed physical examinations and criminal background checks. CPR certification is also required. The curriculum includes lectures, skills training and on-site clinical education. Many of the required courses have online components.

Jonathan R. Madonna did not join the Army with thoughts of being labeled a hero. As a combat engineer and Army Reserve staff sergeant, he just wanted to do the best job he knew how.
But Madonna, son of Carol Madonna of Jordan, found himself in just that role recently when he was announced at midfield during high school football's biggest contest - the U.S. Army sponsored All-American Bowl.
The 2002 Cicero-North Syracuse graduate was honored as a soldier-hero, one of more than 90 throughout the Army who had been awarded either the Silver Star, Bronze Star or Purple Heart during deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan. The soldier-heroes were each matched with an all-star player before the kick off of the contest that pits the best players in the nation against each other in an East versus West matchup.
"I was selected for this honor because I earned two Purple Hearts during my last deployment to Iraq," said Madonna. "It means a lot to me because I get to share some of the Army values that have made me who I am today with some of America's youth."
During activities in the days leading up to game day, Madonna was involved with the players, as well as other soldier-heroes in events such as a skills competition, a barbeque and a banquet held in their honor.
"We have had the chance to meet some inspirational players and share our stories with the public. I really enjoyed my tour of the Alamo and meeting some of the great people of San Antonio," said Madonna.
Madonna says he believes that not only players, but young people overall, can benefit from serving their country, whether in the military or in projects close to where they live. "It is important to serve because many of the same qualities that are instilled in you through basic training, and throughout your career, are the same values that will help you accomplish goals in your life," said Madonna.
Today, Madonna is a combat engineer with the 444th Engineer Company in Oswego. He has completed seven years of military service and has deployed to the Middle East three times.

The expenditure comes to Rs.6,327 per minute, says annual report
'Does not include the time spent by the Judges dictating reserved judgments'
'Arrears of main cases reduced from 79,818 in April 2007 to 74,599 by March 2008'
NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court on an average spends just 4.05 minutes on each case while its expenditure comes to Rs.6,327 per minute. Each Judge of the Court has to deal with 64 cases per day, yet it is able to dispose of more cases than are filed.
The expenditure analysis excluded the time spent by the Judges dictating reserved judgments in their chambers and preparing cases for the next day as well as time spent for correcting and signing orders in cases listed for hearing each day before a Court.
In its first ever cost-analysis of the judicial time, the Delhi High Court in its second annual report for 2007-2008 has made these revealing facts public, claiming that it has acquitted well despite the crushing workload and less than required and sanctioned strength of the Judges.
Chief Justice A.P. Shah, released the annual report at a function held on the Court campus. The Court began releasing an annual report on its functioning, achievements, problems and prospects in 2007.
However, for the first time it organised a function and invited the press to release the report in an attempt to enable people to know more about it.
The report claims that the Court has been able to reduce the arrears of main cases from 79,818 in April 2007 to 74,599 by the end of March 2008.
The reduction in arrears include 13.46 per cent of civil cases which were older than 10 years and 57.30 per cent criminal cases that were also more than 10 years old, the report says. The Court disposed of 56,612 cases in 2007-2008 while it received 47,017 cases. The Court achieved these feats despite the fact that it did not function at its full sanctioned strength of 48, average number of Judges in 2007-2008 were only 32, two-thirds of the sanctioned strength, the report states.
The report spotlights the workload which it and other courts have to bear, saying that "these figures only highlight the crushing load which courts, the Delhi High Court being an exception, have to shoulder".
The High Court Registry received 3,32,141 cases for consideration and they were allotted for hearing to 24 Benches, each of which had to deal with 13,839 listed matters in 2007-2008. Referring to a comparative study on courts in India and in England, the report says that on an average each superior court in that country has to decide only 150 cases every year.

Back in 1994 (in a case Levy v. Commission on Human Rights & Opportunities, for the lawyers out there) the Appellate Court in Connecticut made a seemingly innocuous pronouncement: "We look to federal employment discrimination law for guidance in enforcing our own antidiscrimination statute."
Why? Because back then, there did not seem a reason to treat the state statute on anti-discrimination and the federal statute differently. And indeed, nearly 15 years later, the Connecticut Supreme Court, in Curry v. Allan S. Goodman (which I covered WAY back in 2008 here), held that Connecticut's anti-discrminiation statute had the same duty to accommodate employees with disabilities, as the federal counterpart.
In doing so, the Connecticut Supreme Court said that an important part of how Connecticut's statutes should be interpreted is to rely on the interpretation given by state agency (CHRO) responsible for oversight of the law.
Flash forward now to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision this week in Nassar. In Nassar, the court said that a "but for" standard has to be proven by employees in Title VII retaliation cases because the statute uses the phrase "because of" (in other words, the employee must show he/she was discriminated "because of" a protected class). It is the same logic used to apply a "but for" standard in ADEA (age discrimination) cases a few years ago.
An open question now is: Will Connecticut still follow its federal counterpart now or continue to use the lesser standard that had been used in courts within this federal circuit?
The state statute uses the same "because of" language in nearly all of its provisions prohibiting discrimination and retaliation. Given the U.S. Supreme Court's pronouncements, does that mean that the "but for" standard should apply in all state law discrimination and retaliation claims? We won't know this for some time, but I certainly wouldn't hesitate to argue that to a state court now.
But remember what I said earlier as well; the Connecticut Supreme Court has deferred to the CHRO's interpretation at times as well. The CHRO has argued (and agency tribunal officers agreed) that the lesser standard applies.
Indeed, in a decision earlier this month, a CHRO Human Rights Referee said the standard to establish a state law retaliation claim is the lower standard of asking whether retaliation "played a motivating role in, or contributed to, an employer's decision." (In that case, the employer still won under the lesser standard.)
Certainly, it seems that is at least up in the air after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision whether this should remain the case. Employers who are dealing with CHRO charges and state law discrimination and retaliation claims would be wise to consider challenges to the standard being used to decide their cases. Our law firm will certainly be on the lookout for such cases as well.
We may not see any changes in the short term, but for employers in Connecticut, state discrimination claims seem open for potential challenges.

Don't get me wrong, I love pumpkin pie but I think it's always nice to change up a pumpkin dessert. Pumpkin flan is creamy with a hint of earthy sweetness. I like to make this recipe in October when pumpkins are cropping up in patches and in the market. To make pumpkin puree, roast sugar pumpkins (small pumpkin) until soft. Scoop out the flesh and blend until smooth. You can use canned pumpkin as well. This is a festive autumn dessert that everyone will love.
Pumpkin Flan
Recipe from Sticky, Gooey, Creamy, Chewy
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar, divided
1/4 cup water
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup pumpkin puree
5 eggs
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Boiling water
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
For the Caramel:
Combine 1 cup sugar and water in medium, deep, heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved, about 2-3 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, and boil, without stirring, until caramel turns a copper brown color, anywhere from about 10-15 minutes.
Using oven mitts, quickly and carefully pour the caramel over bottom and sides of a 10-inch metal pie plate or a flan mold. That caramel will be screaming hot!
For the custard:
Combine the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, cream cheese, pumpkin puree, 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, cornstarch, spices and vanilla in a blender. Blend until smooth.
Strain custard mixture through a sieve over the caramel, into the pie plate or mold. Arrange in a large roasting pan lined with a clean dish towel.
Pour boiling water into the roasting pan until it comes about halfway up the side of your flan vessel. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. The center of the flan should still jiggle a little when nudged. Cool for about 30 minutes. Chill in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
To unmold, run a sharp knife around the rim of the mold and gently shake to loosen. Invert onto a serving plate.

HOUSTON A stretch of Interstate 45 in Houston has reopened after being closed for hours following a bizarre wreck that left part of a gravel truckteetering against an overhead sign.
All main lanes of Interstate 45 North at Airline were shut down for several hours after theaccident that created a rush hour nightmare.
Air 11 video showed the gravel truck's trailer leaning against the overhead beam that holds up the Airline exit sign. The cab of the big rig separated from the trailer and came to a stop ahead. Severed lines spread hydraulic fluid all over the freeway.
The driver said the dump truck s trailer began to rise as he drove down the freeway and he didn t notice until about 5:30 p.m. when it slammed into the freeway sign overhead.
No one was hurt.
Traffic was backed up for miles after the wreck. Drivers in the lanes behind the truck were not allowed to exit. TxDOT did not want to take any chances because they did not know if the exit sign was stable.
Many of the drivers who were stuck in the traffic mess couldn t believe their eyes.
Wow, that's wild, I can't believe it, said Ronald Green. I don't know how he did it, but he did it.
Isaiah Anderson, another witness, said he used to drive a rig like the one in the wreck and said he knows what happened. He said the power takeoff switch that distributes or cuts off power to the hydraulic lift either malfunctioned or the driver forgot to turn it off.
You go the engage and you got the disengage, so evidently it was engaged, but it was still up when he drove off [he] and probably wasn't paying attention, Anderson said.
The trailer was hauled away from the overhead beam around 9 p.m. Tuesday.
The entire structure that holds the exit sign was removed Tuesday night and all lanes reopened early Wednesday morning.
The Houston Police Department Truck Enforcement division is investigating. The driver could be held responsible for the cost of repairs to the freeway.
