Lake Stevens' Blake Sander (21) and Mariner's Peter Kelanga (5) fight for the ball during the first half of Saturday's game at Lake Stevens High School.
The senior defender certainly was an important cog in the Marauder defensive machine that held the Vikings scoreless for 80 minutes of regulation and two five-minute overtimes, but no one at Lake Stevens High School Saturday night thought the end result would come down to his foot.
After nine rounds of deadlocked penalty kicks, Lake Steven's tenth shooter, senior Jacob Scott nailed his shot, but it struck the post square, making an ominous sound that echoed through the stadium.
Next Alvarez calmly stepped up, staring down the stadium's east goal which was back lit by a bright full moon just rising over the mountains, and converted, giving Mariner a 1-0 win with a 9-8 penalty kick advantage.
The victory advances the Marauders to a second-round game against Jackson at Everett Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. It means Mariner is guaranteed at least two more games and thus multiple chances to advance to the 4A state tournament.
"I really didn't (expect to have to shoot)," Alvarez said. "I thought we were just going to finish right away. When it came to me, I was kind of nervous, but I knew that I just had to keep my concentration and make it for Mariner."
He used his eyes before he shot to throw off Lake Stevens keeper James Tanner.
"When I got up I looked at one of the corners," Alvarez said. "I knew he was going to dive (to that corner), so I knew I just had to kick it straight up."
Alvarez did what the rest of the team couldn't for 90 minutes of play.
Score the game-winner.
Mariner dominated most of the game, owning every metric other than corner kicks, but they couldn't get it past Tanner or his second-half partial sub Brennen Countryman. Though an official shot count was not available, Mariner coach Vince DeSimone estimated that it was about 15-2 in his team's favor.
Everyone could agree that the Marauders teed off in regulation, but couldn't find the net.
"I was just impressed with the Mariner side. ... It was an onslaught," first-year Lake Stevens coach Kit Shanholtzer said.
The Marauders have had some ups and downs this season and the team has gone through so team bickering, but all that went away Saturday. DeSimone told his team that they earned the win regardless of the penalty-kick result.
"The boys really believed in themselves," the Marauder coach said. "We got to play as a team. No more of this, 'I gotta be forward. I gotta be back.' We've got to play where we are needed. And today that was it."
Yuriy Nagornyy notched a clean sheet for Mariner, but split time in goal during penalty kicks with Christian Robles, who is the normal Marauder center fullback.
Robles also plays keeper on his club team, so DeSimone thought that might give his team an edge, but the switch didn't matter much. The Vikings made all their chances except for Scott and Kyle Lawson, who's shot sailed over the crossbar. The Mariner side was nearly perfect, but sophomore Edgar Navarro's shot also sailed high.
Shanholtzer said the game's result came down to desire.
"My kids wanted it but we had a couple kids fighting illness so it was tough," he said.
Senior midfielder and captain Tanner Sellers missed the game with an undisclosed illness.
"It's always horrible to lose, but we ended it actually as a team and working hard," Shanholtzer said. "So I think it was tough, but I'm proud of them."
Mariner now shifts its focus to Jackson, a team that DeSimone felt his team outplayed in two losses during the regular season.
"I don't say bad things about clubs, but we played much better," DeSimone said. "We just could not score.
"We had so many shots on goal, we just couldn't put the ball in the net."
The same happened Saturday night, but the Marauders found a way to advance.
"You could name just about everyone," DeSimone said. "The whole team was playing some hard ball."

Don't Panic! (Reasons Included)
Brian, in the comments, says it is not irrational to panic, given that we desperately need better quarterbacking and each option is like "a lottery ticket," so we need more of them. Now, I generally agree with Brian on most Panic or Don't Panic decisions, but here I'm going to come down on the Don't Panic side.
1. We only want people who want to be here. Remember last signing day with McGuffie saying he was going with his head instead of his heart? How did that work out?
2. A corollary to #1 would be: Better Now Than Later. There is a month and a half (minus dead periods) to get a replacement.
3. A replacement is quite possible. I don't know if it is realistic to expect one of the 4 stars left out there to switch, but a high-3 star "lottery ticket" would be fine.
4. He (probably) wasn't going to start anyway. It's true that Forcier could turn out to be mediocre, or break his leg. And Threet might not make the normal HUGE first year to second year of starting jump. Or break his leg. But chances are pretty high those weren't both going to happen. Yes, Troy Smith turned out to be better than Justin Zwick. But Zwick wasn't bad, and they weren't going to go 3-9. At this point, I think most of us are hoping for someone decent enough to sweep through 3 MAC teams, ND at home, and the weakest half of the Big 10 next year... = 8-4.
5. Although recruits are lottery tickets, in fact there is very little history at Michigan of big name QB recruits (I would include Threet and Forcier in this, plus, again, the excellent chance of another signee) crapping out. Maybe Beaver would have been marginally better than Threet and Forcier. But both crapping out? I can't think of this happening. I'll try to list big-name Michigan QB recruits in the last 12 years or so and see what we can find. Please correct my memory:
Tom Brady (Phil Steele composite rating, something like #25 QB): Umm, not crappy
Jason Kapsner (PS 7?): Never saw the field, seemed like a numbers game
Drew Henson (PS 1 or 2): Starter
John Navarre (PS 30-ish?): Pushes the edge of "big name recruit"; was 3.33 year starter anyway
Andy Mignery (PS 20s or 30s?): Crapped out, switched to TE
Matt Gutierrez (PS 10 or so): Was due to start, injured, beat out by Henne, would have been good
Chad Henne (PS 1): 4 year Starter
Ryan Mallett (PS 1): Started as true frosh, turnover prone and bad inter-personal skills, but will probably be good
Steven Threet (PS 26): Hot and cold as rFr. starter, but that is quite normal; should be a decent starter at least, although not ideal for this system
Coner (PS 40) and Jason Forcier (PS 42) are beyond my definition of big-time recruit. Clayton Richard was highly ranked, but chose baseball.
So, only Mignery (and he was very close to Cone in terms of hype, below Tate Forcier and Threet) came to campus and seemed like a waste of scholarship. Kapsner never did anything, but the reports were that he was competitive for a starting spot. Maybe there's one or two guys I'm forgetting who disappeared, but it seems at least 2/3 of guys who are 4-star quality turn out to be viable college starting quarterbacks.
OMG, we lost our 3rd string QB!
Shavodrick Beaver, who had been committed to Michigan since the spring, has changed his commitment to Tulsa. There had been rumors of him wavering, but he recruited heavily for Michigan and spoke publicly about how he couldn't wait to come to Michigan, was ready to compete for the job, etc. But now the #8 dual-threat quarterback is staying close to his home in Texas.
This event affects the perception of Michigan's program, but probably not the program itself. Most analysts and fans expected fellow QB commit Tate Forcier to compete with holdover Steven Threet for the starting quarterback job in 2009. A common scenario had Threet starting the season and slowly giving way to the more talented, more athletic Tate Forcier. If this scenario had played out, Beaver probably would have redshirted.
Looking forward, Threet is scheduled to run out of eligibility after the 2011 season. Forcier, if he doesn't redshirt at any point, would finish his four years in 2012. If the aforementioned scenario took place, Beaver would have redshirted, hung around for four years, and perhaps started as a fifth year senior in 2013.
Let me say that again.
Very realistically, Beaver's decommitment affects the 2013 season.
Now, depth is obviously a concern. Every team wants great players waiting in the wings to take over from great players. But is that realistic? Probably not. Assuming Forcier sticks with his commitment, we'll have two 4-star QB's over two classes of eligibility - and that doesn't include possible replacements for Beaver in the 2009 class, such as Tajh Boyd, Eugene Smith, or Denard Robinson (all 4-star players themselves).
Michigan will be okay. The Wolverines will plow through and be successful. The offense started to hit its stride at the end of the 2008 season, especially running the ball. If we can run the ball effectively without an effective QB, imagine what type of offense we will have when Threet improves his accuracy or Forcier steps in with his pinpoint accuracy and good athleticism.
We need not worry about the loss of our third string quarterback.
Go blue!
Recruiting Comparison
In response to occasional "gasps" I read in various places about UMs recruiting falling off under RichRod, I've looked over UM's recruiting classes for the last 7 years (that's as far back as Rivals and Scout go) and compared those classes with this 2009 class (as it is so far). The results show that this class is going to be a "typical" UM class in terms of quality. In fact, this year's class will likely end up above average when the final pieces fall into place (Do you hear me Big Will??).
I've used average star ratings from Rivals and Scout. I use the average star rating rather than the rankings of the classes for some obvious reasons. First, the ranking of the class depends somewhat on its size and I am interested in quality, not quantity. Second, the rankings of classes year to year does not allow good comparisons across years for the same school. For example, UMs class in 2005 was ranked second in the nation but had a lower average star rating than the 2007 class which ended up ranked 10th in the nation:
----------Average Stars--------
This year's class, as it currently stands, is average for Rivals and a little below average for Scout. There are 5 spots left to fill in the class (+ or - one depending on who you listen to). If Will Campbell is one of those spots, the number will shift into above average territory on both Rivals and Scout. If another 4-star or two are added to the class in addition, the class will move firmly into above average territory. In fact, if Big Will and a few additional 4-stars are added, the class will be the second best since 2002 on Rivals (with 2003 being the best) and firmly above average on Scout.
The perception that recruiting has fallen off comes from something OTHER than the actual quality of our recruits. My opinion (and only an opinion) if that it comes from a shift in the emphasis of the recruiting. Recruiting attention has shifted to the slot-dots and fans' attention and discussion is disproportionately about those players. I think this is because they are the new type of player UM is after and people tend to focus on changes. Anyway, there are quiet a few of them and many are 3-star guys. I think this means the perception becomes that "most" of out recruits are 3-star guys when, in fact, there hasn't been much of a change from the traditional quality of UM recruiting classes.
A Spoon Full of Sugar
It was 1969, a year Iggy Pop would immortalize in song. A year in which many a body bag got filled in 'Nam. Some guy called "Bo" came up from Ohio to replace some guy named "Bump". The whole freaking world was changing at a rate hard to measure without an electron stopwatch. Hippies were promoting free love and revolution and drugs. The White Panthers and the Rainbow People's Party had houses on Hill Street. Black people were demanding to be treated like actual human beings; not asking, demanding. Walter Cronkite was still cool, but so was Joe Namath.
Me and Allan, my best bud, walked from Melrose Street to the stadium. No tickets. Didn't have a nickel between us, but we were going to the Game. Our friends would be there, like always, in the south end zone about sixty or seventy rows up.
With our best pathetic faces, we stood at the corner of Stadium and Main begging for tickets--for all of about twenty seconds. Some drunk rich guy staggers up to us. "Here ya go, boys!", he says. "Have a good time!" Allan looks over the tickets. 45 yard line, fifty rows up, west side. WTF! Ten minutes later we'd sold them for ten bucks apiece, had climbed under the fence by Crisler Arena and after a quick stop at the hot dog stand, were on our way to our rightful spots amongst the Tappan Junior High congregation. Life was good.
Some idiot, I don't remember who, was handing out free apples. Jim Lampley, then a budding cub reporter, was standing on a riser in the southwest corner of the playing field doing some advance work for the TV. Well, he was making an attempt. Suddenly a hail of apples descended upon him like cluster bombs out of a Tomahawk Missile. I must admit that I did in fact aim for his head, but was pleased with the chest shot that connected—along with several other young apple snipers. Jim Lampley relocated. We laughed and taunted.
Back then they had no end zone nets. They had the hated Yellow Jackets—the guys responsible for retrieving footballs out of the crowd after extra points and field goals. We hated them. They hated us. We both knew the battles this day would be fierce. Our resolve was strong that day at the start, but after the Wolverines started chewing up some Buckeye ass—well, we would have stomped little old ladies into the ground to secure that pigskin manna falling to us from the heavens. And yes, we liberated more than one trophy that day.
Few people around today are witness to the thundering roar heard for miles that used to crack the atmosphere Saturday afternoons—that is, the stomping of feet on the steel bowl girding the concrete pit of Michigan Stadium. It sounded like a nuclear bomb attempting to extinguish an F5 Tornado hovering over a burning fireworks factory. Opposing teams used to experience anal pucker level 10 the first time they were beseeched by this auditory and vibratory assault. Wolverines used to jack up like crack heads air lifted into Peru. (Key Play? We would have kilt you and ate your young!) I'm telling you, the Wolverine Army could have taken Moscow that day and still had enough left to bum rush Peking.
As the human wave crashed the field after the boom of the final gun, and assaulted the goal posts at the north end, it was evident all intelligence had evaporated in a radioactive cloud of fanatic lust that remains lurking even today. We brought down the goal posts. Toppling over the shared gravitational pull of the goal post brought with it every fan whose muscle, sinew and brainwaves had propelled them into history. A mere two feet from my face, as I was crashed to the turf by the tidal wave of screaming fans, the corner of the goal post dug a good 9 inches deep. It was truly a miracle no one was kilt.
As Allan and I watched the frat boys carry those goal posts out of the stadium that day the sun was slipping behind some clouds and a grayness befell the Earth as if to say, you will never again witness such a contest. Be grateful. Though I had been to many Michigan games before then, that day, I felt truly baptized. I knew then, the Wolverines—win, lose or draw—would be my team forever.
Welcome to Detroit, sorry I missed you
Well it looks like i missed an interesting night last night. Overheard some people in the WLA say that I was the topic of a nice little post. Apparently I have made such an impression on people that there is a need around here to call me out personally for answering questions and giving my insights. I do not want to start another thread of attack, but I do want to answer some questions.
1. I liked Shafer at Michigan because i run a lot of Shafers schemes. I liked the idea of being able to follow the WOlverines over the next several years, knowing the terminology being used, the direction and the focus of the Defense, and such. I was supprised when he got the job, and was excited to tell people about what to expect over the years. Im sad to see him go, becasue i believed that if given time, he would have had michigans defense rolling, and i was excited about seeing someone at michigan who was going to emphasis technique and fundamentals.
2. I was a Michigan fan long before Shafer came around, and I was very excited to be apart of a blog community interested in knowing more about football, and offer another perspective. If by offering my perspective I offended people i appologize, as obviously it was not my intent. Still think that over the past couple of years I have been on the receiving in of many more attacks, then i have given out. But i appologize for any attack i have made, as one is too many.
3. Shafer not being at Michigan does ABSOLUTELY nothing to shake my confidence in my ability to break down a football play, to talk football, or to coach football. It has never been about proving myself on here. In fact its all been about talking Michigan football.
4. I like this Blog, i like Brian, and I like the WLA.. So im not going anywhere.... sorry to dissapoint some of you...
5. I like to talk about Skull cracking, Butt-kicking, weight-lifting, football stuff, becasue that is a big part of my life. In all reality i am exactly like i am in here, a nice guy with a pretty big heart, but kinda crazy. Im new to the world of internet tough guys, and bullying, so i am not very good at it, and most of the people that have a problem with me are much better at writing then I am, so be it. If anyone REALLY has a problem with me, im not too hard to find...
Recruiting for the 3-3-5 (a test case)
I've read here and elsewhere that going to the 3-3-5 will hurt recruiting, especially D-Line. The reasons given vary, but center on the assumption that D-Line players won't want to play the 3-3-5 since they are not "showcased" (or words to that effect). I decided to take a look at the one program I know runs the 3-3-5 consistently (WVU) and see if their defensive recruiting (and especially D-Line recruiting) is consistent with this claim.
**NOTE: ALL rankings according to Scout**
Last year, their defensive line recruiting was pretty good (2 3-star DTs, a 4-star DE and a 3-star DE to go along with two more 2-star linemen). That is a pretty good haul for WVU. For comparison, they only pulled in 6 3-star or above players on offense, compared to 4 on the D-Line alone (along with 8 more LBs or secondary players).
In 2007, they got a 4-star DT, a 3-star DE and one additional 2-star DT. Defensive recruiting again was a bit better than offensive, with only 2 of 16 defensive recruits below 3-star status (compared with 2 out of 11 on the offensive side).
In 2006 they had a crappy class in general, but note that 4 of their 5 3-star or higher rated players are on the defensive side of the ball.
In summary, while the recruiting classes at WVU are generally lower quality than UM classes, within those classes, RR doesn't seem to have had a problem recruiting for the 3-3-5, especially the D-Line. If fact, it seems he had an easier time recruiting defensive players than offensive players.
Side note: It does appear true that the supers WVU (rarely) got tended to be on the offensive side of the ball--Devine, Gwaltney, Jenkins--but those were few and far between.

Whether you loved or hated The Dark Knight Rises, there's no question that there were a lot of epic moments in the movie. I'm sure a couple of those stuck with you when you left the theater last July.
Out of all those scenes, there's one that rises above the rest–the one scene that screams pure win all the way. I'm talking about the epic fight scene between Bane and Batman down in the sewers, where we see Bruce Wayne unmasked and beaten to a pulp, right before our very eyes.
The Dark Knight Rises will be out on DVD and Blu-Ray this December 4th, so Warner decided to release forty-five photos featuring Bane and Batman's grand showdown. They're shot from all sorts of angles and points of view, so if you've been itching to see a blow-by-blow breakdown of the fight, then you're in luck.

Car designers no longer talk in terms of other cars when they're contextualising their work, they talk about phones, mp3-players, and portable games consoles. By which reckoning, the new Ford Fiesta isn't a car at all, more of a big gadget. I'd like to see the handbag this could fit in.
Women loom large over this latest incarnation of Ford's evergreen supermini. Ford's design team, presided over by the amusingly forthright Martin Smith, even invented a Second Life-style target buyer called Antonella, so we can blame her/it for the preponderance of 'surprise and delight' features, dimensionally best-in-class door bins, and a centre console modelled, yes, on a mobile phone. With this sort of back-story, I approached the new Fiesta – painted, ironically, a sort of Torquay retirement home purpley/burgundy colour – rather like I imagine the ageing Chuck Norris would approach a Take That concert. Is this a small car or a copy of Heat magazine on four wheels?
But there's no need for the straightforwardly heterosexual male to feel emasculated. This is a terrific little car, and the sort of thing the world could do with being terrific right now. Ford, enjoying one of those product booms that car companies periodically seem to go through, has lately given all its cars the same slick, smoothly engineered feel. Now the Fiesta has it too.
Visually, it's very close to the Verve concept that's been doing the rounds. Crucially, it's also a small car that still looks like a small car, rather than porking out and migrating into the class above. Yes, it softens Ford's 'Kinetic' design language a little, but there are plenty of clever visual hooks: the extra edge on the head-light, the sharp tailoring of the rear lights and the competing surfaces around the nose and front wings are all smart (or 'hexagenous', to use newly minted Ford jargon, which apparently helps ped-pro. As does the 'tri-plane' curvature on the bumper).
The doors (still called 'doors', though a Ford department is working on a new name as we speak) open wide, and it's almost MPV-ish to get into and out of (or EAES, for 'entry and exit system'). As the first new car in Ford's global 'One Vision' strategy, the Fiesta has to accommodate the smallest 2.5 percentile female up to the lardiest 97.5 percentile male, everywhere from Beijing to Baton Rouge and all points in between. The seats are mounted lower than before, though, and the gearlever and instrument panel higher – so despite this 'one-size fits all' strategy, it's actually surprisingly purposeful.
Antonella apparently likes colour-coded dash surfaces, and the interior trim varies between soft-feel slush moulding and disappointingly brittle plastics. As for this mobile-phone-inspired centre console business, well I'm sorry, but I couldn't actually get the radio to work, and the toggle bit (it's called HMI or Human Machine Interface, seriously) that takes you between different bits of the menu also foxed me. Attractively youthful 'design progressives' (another Ford phrase) will no doubt love it. Nor did I like the seat fabric in this particular car, though the seats and the driving position are excellent. The wheel itself is a chunky three-spoke item.
At launch, six engines are available: two 1.25-litre petrol units (59 and 80bhp), a 1.4-litre petrol (95bhp), a 1.6-litre petrol (118bhp), and 1.4-litre (67bhp) and 1.6-litre (89bhp) diesels. An Econetic 1.6-litre diesel arrives later this year, whose lower suspension, smaller tyres, flush wheel covers and particulate filter help it deliver 76.3mpg and reduce its CO2 emissions to just 98g/km.
Against a background like this, it seems churlish to mention such recherché concepts as handling, performance or, even, refinement. But having rebranded NVH as SQ&V (that's 'sound, quality and vibration'), the 89bhp 1.6 TDCi I tried proved Ford is now expert at managing it.
The new Fiesta is no environmental hairshirt. Despite extra sound-proofing, the diesel is still thrummy, but in every other key area, this is a marvellously refined car. Potential sources of wind noise were apparently identified and optimised at the component stage, so it's amazingly hushed, at least until you're driving the absolute socks off it. Which, at the risk of hastening global warming, you might actually be tempted to do.
It corners enthusiastically too. A Focus-style electric power steering system replaces the hydraulic set-up, and while it's a bit airy-fairy at medium to high speeds, it's perfectly competent. As is the chassis, without being utterly sparkling: there's plenty of grip, and it doesn't tip into understeer at the first sign of a bend. With MacPherson struts upfront and a beam rear axle, there's nothing fancy underpinning the Fiesta, but the suspension has been thoughtfully tuned for the UK's more dynamic tastes.
Ford claims the new car is 10 per cent stiffer than the old one, and 55 per cent of the body is made from high-strength steel. Interestingly, one of the chief engineers, Jörg Beyer, suggests the future lies in improving the basic structure to enhance safety, rather than just filling the car full of heavy airbags (though the Fiesta has plenty anyway). In terms of saving weight, he has a point.
Prices start at £8,695 for the Studio version, with the Titanium (Ghia in old money) priced from £12,095. Supermini-deniers may once have pointed out you could get a proper car for that sort of outlay. Luckily, that's exactly what the new Ford Fiesta is.

NFL to keep Pro Bowl, hold game in Honolulu
David Uchiyama, the chief negotiator for the tourism authority in its talks with the NFL, said the state is pushing to follow the current one-year deal with a longer agreement that would put the Pro Bowl in Honululu at least five times in seven years.
Uchiyama said the current deal's financial terms were similar to the previous one, with the state paying the league about $4.2 million to host the game. He added his talks with the league have included introducing longer-term ideas that reach far beyond the Pro Bowl, such as establishing a developmental league based in Hawaii.
"That's really a dream," he said.
Goodell had expressed his displeasure with this year's game several times, acknowledging it could be scrapped if the level of play doesn't improve.
"The issue is we recognize it is an all-star game, but we also believe fans expect more from an NFL game," he said recently. "If we believe we can achieve that, we want to give them every opportunity to do that."
For last January's game, TV ratings were strong, with 12.5 million viewers, making the Pro Bowl the most watched of all all-star games for the 2011 season.
Associated Press writers Oskar Garcia and Audrey McAvoy in Honolulu contributed to this report.

Despite an initial mintage of 481,000 examples, the vast majority of the entire mintage was destroyed during the great gold melts of the 1930s. Bowers calls the issue an "erstwhile former rarity, very rare today" and says succinctly in his Guide Book of Double Eagle Gold Coins, "Today the 1926-D is one of the key issues of the Saint-Gaudens series, with only a few hundred known to exist. Typical grades are MS-60 to MS-63. Gems are rare. Today the 1926-D double remains very elusive, though hardly in the 'impossible' category. Most were probably retained in the United States and melted in the mid-1930s."
Bowers notes further that specimens usually show some areas of lightness, such as the Capitol dome, and that many different die states result from the many die pairs used to produce the coinage.
In The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens as Illustrated by the Collection of Phillip H. Morse, the authors note that "from the scant number of survivors today, it appears that most of these were retained in the United States and subsequently melted ... . Apparently none were sent overseas, as no hoards or significant accumulations have been discovered in the past 50 years. It is interesting to note that along with the 1924-S, the 1926-D used to be considered one of the two rarest Saint-Gaudens double eagles. In the 1940s, both of these dates were considered even rarer than the 1927-D, an issue now considered the classic rarity of the collection."
Unlike many issues in the series that are former rarities now dethroned, the 1926-D remains a key issue today. The Coinage of Augustus Saint-Gaudens authors write, "With respect to overall rarity, the 1926-D is virtually identical to the 1925-S, except it is most often found in Uncirculated grades, while the 1925-S is usually found circulated. [The 1926-D] is one of the scarcest and most underrated issues in the series, and when available, it is usually seen in MS60-MS63 at best. Current population figures bear this out with about 250 examples (High R.3) certified in MS63 or lesser grades, while MS64 and finer pieces number just a couple of dozen (Low R.6).
"The Phillip Morse Collection contained only one piece, that being an exceedingly rare PCGS MS66. ... According to Akers (1988), he had never seen ANY collection of Saint-Gaudens twenties that contained Gem examples of the 1924-S, 1925-S, and 1926-D. These three dates are considered the condition standards of the set ... ."
As we said earlier, this is a simply spectacular coin, a no-questions Gem, and one that would certainly go a long way toward setting the "condition standard" for a similar set in the future. For a gold coin the toning is remarkably bold and persuasive, with central areas of sunset-orange on each side melding into sage, violet, and mint-green toward the peripheries. (Such unusual toning on a gold coin can occur when there is an unusually high proportion of copper alloy near the surface of the coin, which is much more reactive than the gold.) The strike is bold, aside from the aforementioned area of the Capitol dome and Liberty's right (facing) foot. Exuberant cartwheel luster emanates powerfully from both sides, unimpeded by the lovely color. There are remarkably few abrasions noted, save for a single pedigree identifier beneath Liberty's hair in the left obverse field and a patch of small, thin scrapes on her torso. PCGS Population: 5 in 65, 2 finer (12/07). None finer than MS64 at NGC.

Having the Coretech setup is an inexpensive way to add a ton of storage to your ride. Sportbikes, dual-sport and even touring machines will benefit from quality Tour Master components.
The Score
Everybody needs more storage. Whether you live in a crappy apartment or massive pimped-out crib, the available space will invariably be filled. The same goes for motorcycles which have struggled on the issue of carrying capacity from Day 1. The lack of storage space inherent to virtually every motorcycle has opened the door for aftermarket companies like
Tour Master
to come swooping in for the rescue. We spent part of the late summer testing our stable of
2007 Adventure Touring
machines. When the luggage for our Ducati Multistrada 1100s failed to materialize our jones for luggage suddenly went soft - as in the soft Cortech TriBag
and TriBag
The Scoop
Tour Master Cortech TriBag Saddlebag - MSRP: $159.99
Saddlebags are the easiest way to add storage without affecting the riding position and performance too greatly. Adding a tank bag makes reaching the bars difficult for smaller riders and adds weight up high, and tailbags do the same out back while compressing the riding position forward. The beauty of saddlebags is in their placement and security. The Cortech arrangement we tested nestled in tight to the machine without ever getting close to the rear wheel or bumping our test riders' legs. A neoprene strap on the side of each bag helped grip the bike and keep the bags from moving while simultaneously protecting the Duc's shiny finish. A slash-cut forward section does a good job of keeping airspace between the front of the bag and the backside of a rider's calves.
Two zippered side pockets on each bag make for easy access to smaller items like a wallet, notepad or road map, and give a total of three compartments per side. The main storage areas have a heat shield on lower section to prevent pipe burn, and use a U-shaped zipper on top so that its contents are still accessible when paired with a top-mounted tailbag like the one we used. Capacity is listed at 20 liters per side with dimensions of 14.5"L x 11"W x 8.5"H. We aren't really concerned enough to attempt verifying the 20-liter claim, but we will say that frugal packing will allow for several days worth of clothes.
Mounting the saddlebags was the only real challenge, and not much of one in actuality. The wide Velcro straps are super strong, but getting them adjusted to the right length took several tries. Accuracy is vital to keeping the bags from getting sucked between the rear wheel and fender, so we took our time and got things right. We tried them on several bikes and the range of adjustment was adequate for all. For riders with only one bike, the adjustment issue isn't worth mentioning. Get it right the first time and you won't have to worry about it any more. Swapping machines is when the stiff Velcro becomes a hassle. But, the security of such strong binders was great - no worrying about losing these bags.
Tour Master Cortech TriBag Tailbag - MSRP: $89.99
A combination of Cortech TriBag components gave our Ducati Multistrada 1100s a stronger touring flavor.
The TriBag Tailbag can be used individually with the available hide-away bungee hooks, but we utilized the quick-release mounting system on the matching TriBag Saddlebag to make this duo dynamic. A set of four, three-prong plastic clips with adjustable nylon straps are a great way to mate these two pieces together. However, getting the clasps to buckle and then come apart requires some serious effort. They seemed to get easier as they broke in throughout our testing, but even at the end it still requires a strong set of man-hands during installation and removal.
Dimensions of 17.5"L x 12"W x 10"H gave us all the room we needed for travel sundries, and having the ability to take it off (relatively quickly) and into a hotel for the night by its angle-mounted shoulder strap made it a nice addition to the saddlebags. Two large pockets on the end and one smaller nook along the side make it easy to store and find those little items rather than have them jumbled inside the main compartment. We did notice that when the main compartment is stuffed to capacity, it's large enough to run interference with a hydration or backpack and would push annoyingly on our testers. However, the whole purpose of having these luggage accessories is to avoid backpacks, and ours were only necessary due to a magazine's need for camera equipment. Otherwise we never would have been sporting them and the large duffle-style tailbag would be a moot point.
The Sentence
Tour Master obviously put a lot of thought into designing these bags to create a wonderful blend of capacity, durability and utility. The fact that they are specifically designed to mate to other Cortech accessories is a big plus in our books as well. Both pieces of luggage are constructed of 1680 Denier ballistic nylon and have reflective material to help keep other motorists aware of your location, so they're safe too. Aside from having nancy-boy hands during installation, the only other negative issue we had was that a rubber tab on the zipper pulled off after only a few days of use. Seeing how our complaints were so minor, it's obvious that we consider both of these components to be excellent accessories. Perhaps the best thing about this set of soft luggage is how the combination brings out a whole new genre of motorcycling which may have been impossible before. Tour Master brings touring to life without the inconvenience of backpacks and jimmy-rigged bungees.

You've taken the plunge and bought a hot new motherboard. Here's how to upgrade your motherboard, swap your hardware, and prep your system so that you won't have to reinstall your apps.
Making the connections
After you've installed the motherboard, CPU, memory, and cooler, it's time to attach all of the connectors. Your motherboard documentation will show you the layout for these, so consult that before proceeding. Here are the basics you'll need to connect.
- Primary power
- ATX12V secondary CPU power connector (four-pin or eight-pin; if you have a choice, go with eight-pin)
- Power and reset switches, plus hard-drive and power-activity LEDs
- Fan connectors, including the CPU cooling fan
- USB and front-panel audio (your system may also have a front-panel FireWire connector; my Coolermaster Sileo 500 case lacked that amenity)
- SATA connectors on the motherboard (make sure to do this before you install the graphics board)
- Storage connectors to the hard drives and optical drives
Finally, install the PCI Express graphics card and make sure to attach the PCIe power connectors to the card.
Okay, now it's time to boot the system, right? Well, not quite.
Review: things to check
Always go back and review what you've done before booting up the PC--I always forget something.
- Is the memory seated properly?
- Is the CPU cooling fan connected to power?
- Are the mounting screws screwed in properly?
- Is the ATX I/O back plate installed?
- Are the power and reset switch connectors attached?
- Are the IDE and power LED connectors attached?
- Is the case-fan power connected?
- Are the storage data and power cables connected?
- Are both the main and ATX12V power cables connected?
- Is the PCI Express power connected to the graphics board?
Now that you've double-checked all the connections, you need to attach the external cabling, namely the power, keyboard, mouse, network, and video cables. Next, you'll power up the system.

CHOYING DROLMA IS a Tibetan Buddhist nun residing in a monastery in the Nepalese foothills of the Himalayas. Steve Tibbetts is a musical explorer, studio magician and tireless sonic alchemist living in St. Paul. Chö, their unlikely collaboration, is an exquisite exercise in the art of musical nuance--as meditative as Gregorian chants yet charged with understated energy and a beguiling melodicism.
Tibbetts met Drolma (and the eight other nuns who sing on the album) while working on his music in Nepal, and was entranced by their songs, ancient works of contemplation, celebration, supplication, and creative expression. Tibbetts made some recordings, which he brought back to his studio and combined with his own elegant touches, including his guitar, percussion by longtime collaborator Marc Anderson, vocals from Rhea Valentine, and various string instruments. Taking pains not to overwhelm the delicate singing, he embellishes with the precision of a jewel cutter: a single guitar note here, a bouzouki flourish there, a flickering of chimes, a muted flush of violin and cello.
On two cuts he lets the mesmeric beauty of Drolma's vocals stand alone. And on "Kyema Mimin" he floats the rich tapestry of the nuns voices adrift a sea of pulsing, echoing drones, creating a graceful dramatic tension. Chö is full of these sorts of unexpected revelations, and the cumulative effect is utterly enchanting. It's a grand achievement.

BOISE -- What was once supposed to add toBoise's skyline has for years been a hole in the ground and it could remain that way until the economy turns around.
A developer wanted to build a tall building for both commercial and residential use at the corner of8th and Main streets. But it continues to sit as a pile of dirt surrounded by a wall.
It's an eyesore, said David Garcia of Boise.
The land has changed hands several times and now belongs to a California developer.
Last summer he wanted $3.95 million. No takers.
According to his agent at Grubb & Ellis in Eagle, the price is now higher but she will not disclose how much.
It's prime real estate. It's an excellent location in the heart of the city said Boise developer Scott Kimball.
Kimball says in a healthy economy the original project would have been a successful venture.
But now, he says, developers would consider it a gamble.
If somebody bought it today they would probably have to work two to three years both get financing and re-permitted through the city. Once that s done, I think there's probably a two to three year construction period. So it's probably a six-year wait, even if it starts today, Kimball said.
Lil Kurek, who owns a business across the street from the hole, wants to see a change.
Let's face it. Look what we look at day in day out look what it could have been. They made such a big hoopla of building this 26-story building and that was10 years ago, said Kurek.
The city's downtown urban renewal agency knows it could be a profitable location.
Despite this, neither CCDC or the city want it and say the land is better left in private hands.
It's got to be a premier site for somebody to do something. I think maybe the original ideas may have been more significant than the marketplace could accommodate at the time, but I think eventually it could be a site for a major project, said Phil Kushlin of the Capital City Development Corporation.
We need more high rises downtown. We need more people living downtown. It supports the merchants and the restaurants and that's what Boise really needs, said Kimball.
Plenty of people had ideas on what they would like to see here.
Some suggested a farmer's market, park or amphitheater. All those we spoke to said they would like to see something that adds to Boise's downtown atmosphere.

This Operation has been modified as per Budget Revision 5 (see below)
Several years after the end of a destructive war, Burundi continues to face many challenges. It is a low-income and food-deficit country. According to the 2010 United Nations Development Programme Human Development Report, it ranks 166th out of 169 countries. The majority of the population lives on less than one dollar per day. The gross domestic product is estimated at US$ 341 per capita.
According to the 2010 Global Hunger Index Report, Burundi has the second highest hunger index in the world at 38 percent, following the Democratic Republic of Congo at 41 percent. Burundi is vulnerable to natural disasters and fluctuations in international prices of agricultural commodities which affect the food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable people. The country also faces a volatile regional security situation, mainly due to the Democratic Republic of Congo. While Burundi currently hosts 32,000 Congolese and Rwandan refugees, there are over 90,000 Burundian refugees in neighbouring countries. With the improving political environment, around 67,000 returnees are anticipated in 2011-2012.
This project draws on the findings from the 2008 comprehensive food security and vulnerability assessment, the 2010 and 2009 crop and food supply assessment missions,the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report from August 2010 and a joint assessment mission conducted by the Government, WFP and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in 2010.
This protracted relief and recovery operation addresses Strategic Objective 1 of the WFP Strategic Plan (2008-2013) - Save lives and protect livelihoods in emergencies - and Strategic Objective 3 - Restore and rebuild lives and livelihoods in post conflict, post disaster or transition. The operation is in line with the Government's food security and nutrition strategies and the United Nations Development Assistance Framework and addresses the Millennium Development Goals 1, 3, 4 and 7. Based on a consultative process with the Government, United Nations agencies and non-governmental organizations, WFP designed a country strategy for the period 2011-2014. This operation will directly contribute to the third priority identified by the country strategy: Emergency response action.
The operation will assist highly food-insecure people, including returnees, refugees and vulnerable host communities affected by successive shocks. Overall, WFP is seeking to downsize its operation from 1.1 million people in the previous operation to 547,000 in this one by carefully identifying beneficiaries who have graduated from WFP support and who no longer need assistance. The full participation of communities, local authorities and partners will be promoted at all stages of implementation and the project will help develop national capacity in order to achieve a gradual hand-over of WFP's operation

Denny's Corporation Reports Results for First Quarter 2013 - Adjusted Net Income Per Share* Increased 48.4% to $0.08 - - Refinances Credit Facility and Increases Share Repurchase Authorization by 10 Million Shares - SPARTANBURG, S.C., April 30, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Denny's Corporation (Nasdaq:DENN), franchisor and operator of one of America's largest franchised full-service restaurant chains, today reported results for its first quarter ended March 27, 2013. First Quarter Summary *System-wide same-store sales decreased 0.7%, comprised of a 0.5% decrease at domestic franchised restaurants and a 1.5% decrease at company restaurants, with a 1.7% increase in system-wide same-store sales on a two-year basis. *Opened seven new franchised restaurants and closed six franchised restaurants bringing total restaurant count to 1,689. *Net Income of $7.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, grew 20.7% compared with the prior year quarter Net Income of $5.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. *Adjusted Net Income per Share* of $0.08 grew 48.4% compared with the prior year quarter Adjusted Net Income per Share* of $0.05. *Generated $12.6 million of Free Cash Flow* used to reduce outstanding term loan debt by $4.0 million and repurchase 341,100 shares for $1.9 million. Subsequent to the First Quarter *Refinanced credit facility providing lower interest costs and increased flexibility for the Company to continue to return cash to shareholders. *Authorized additional 10 million shares for ongoing share repurchase program bringing the total number of shares remaining in the outstanding programs to 12.4 million. John Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "Denny's delivered another quarter of solid results, as we continued to successfully execute against our key objectives implemented to strengthen and grow our position as one of the largest franchised American full-service restaurant brands. We remain focused on revitalizing Denny's image with our 'America's Diner' positioning, increasing the growth of the Denny's brand, and growing profitability and free cash flow. As we move forward, we will continue to work closely with our franchisees to increase restaurant level performance and new restaurant growth, while also balancing our capital allocation between reinvestments in the brand and returning value to shareholders." First Quarter Results For the first quarter of 2013, franchise and license revenue increased 2.7% to $33.5 million compared with $32.6 million in the prior year quarter. The $0.9 million increase in franchise revenue was primarily driven by a $0.5 million increase in royalties and higher occupancy revenue from 45 additional equivalent franchise restaurants. Company restaurant sales of $81.0 million decreased $13.1 million due to 36 fewer equivalent company restaurants. This decrease reflects the continuing impact of selling company restaurants to franchisees as part of the Company's FGI refranchising strategy that was completed at the end of 2012. Denny's opened seven new franchised restaurants in the first quarter of this year and closed six franchised restaurants bringing the total restaurant count to 1,689. Franchise operating margin increased $0.8 million to $22.1 million primarily due to the increases in franchise royalties and occupancy margin. Franchise operating margin (as a percentage of franchise and license revenue) was 65.9%, an increase of 0.6 percentage points. The increase was primarily due to the increase in royalties and occupancy margin and was partially offset by lower initial fee revenue from refranchising six restaurants in the prior year quarter. Company restaurant operating margin decreased $2.3 million primarily due to the impact of selling company restaurants to franchisees. Company restaurant operating margin (as a percentage of company restaurant sales) was 14.7%, a decrease of 0.4 percentage points. The decrease was primarily driven by higher product costs and higher occupancy costs, due to favorable general liability claims development in the prior year. These increases were partially offset by lower payroll and benefits costs primarily driven by lower incentive compensation and medical costs. Total general and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million to $15.2 million in the quarter. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.8 million primarily as a result of the sale of restaurants in 2012. Interest expense decreased by $1.7 million as a result of a $26.3 million reduction in total gross debt over the last 12 months and lower interest rates under the Company's refinanced credit facility. In the first quarter, the provision for income taxes was $3.6 million, reflecting an effective tax rate of 33.5%. Due to the use of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, the Company paid only $0.3 million in cash taxes in the first quarter. Denny's first quarter net income of $7.1 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, grew 20.7% compared to prior year quarter net income of $5.9 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.Adjusted Net Income* of $7.1 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, grew 43.2% compared to Adjusted Net Income* of $5.0 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Denny's generated $12.6 million of Free Cash Flow* in the first quarter, a portion of which the Company used to reduce its outstanding term loan by $4.0 million and to repurchase 341,100 shares for $1.9 million.Since initiating its share repurchase strategy in November 2010, the Company has used $53.3 million to repurchase 12.6 million shares through April 24, 2013.The Company recently announced that the Board of Directors approved a new share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of an additional 10 million shares of its common stock, in addition to repurchases previously authorized.As of April 24, 2013, the Company has 12.4 million shares remaining in its current authorized share repurchase initiative. Denny's recently entered into a new five-year $250 million senior secured bank credit facility, comprised of a $60 million term loan and a $190 million revolving line of credit.At the time of closing there were $105 million of borrowings under the new revolving line of credit.The refinanced facility has a reduced interest rate starting at LIBOR plus 200 basis points for the term loan and revolver, and lower amortization, as the term loan will be amortized 5% per year in the first two years, 7.5% in the subsequent two years, and 10% in the fifth year, with the balance due at maturity. Mark Wolfinger, Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded, "Our new credit facility and share repurchase authorization are testaments to the tremendous progress Denny's has made over the past several years with its franchise-focused business model, which enables us to continue to reinvest in the growth of the brand and return cash to shareholders through our increased share repurchase program." Business Outlook The Company continues to successfully execute against its key objectives implemented to strengthen and grow its position as one of the largest American full-service restaurant brands. These include: *Revitalize Denny's image with its "America's Diner" positioning. *Increase the growth of the Denny's brand both domestically and internationally. *Grow profitability and Free Cash Flow* through a primarily franchise-focused business model that balances reinvesting in the brand with debt repayment and returning cash to shareholders. The following full year 2013 estimates are based on management's expectations at this time. *System-wide same-store sales growth between 0% and 1.5%. *New restaurant openings (all franchised) between 40 and 45 restaurants with net restaurant growth between 5 and 10 restaurants. *Total G&A, including share-based compensation, between $59 million and $61 million. *Adjusted EBITDA* between $76 million and $80 million. *Cash capital expenditures between $19 million and $21 million, including approximately 20 to 25 remodels at company restaurants and the acquisition of two parcels of real estate for approximately $2.4 million in the second quarter of this year. *Depreciation and amortization between $20.5 million and $21.5 million. *Net interest expense between $9.5 million and $10.5 million with net cash interest expense between $8.0 million and $9.0 million.The closing of the Company's new bank facility will result in a non-cash one-time charge to other nonoperating expense of approximately $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2013 *Cash taxes between $2.5 million and $3.5 million with income tax rate between 35% and 40%. *Free Cash Flow* between $45 million and $48 million. *Please refer to the historical reconciliation of net income to Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income Per Share, Adjusted EBITDA, and Free Cash Flow included in the tables below.

Income Per Share are appropriate indicators to assist in the evaluation of its operating performance on a period-to-period basis.The Company also uses Adjusted Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow internally as performance measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of annual operating budgets, and for compensation purposes, including bonuses for certain employees.Adjusted EBITDA is also used to evaluate its ability to service debt because the excluded charges do not have an impact on its prospective debt servicing capability and these adjustments are contemplated in its credit facility for the computation of its debt covenant ratios.Free Cash Flow, defined as Adjusted EBITDA less cash portion of interest expense net of interest income, capital expenditures, and cash taxes, is used to evaluate operating effectiveness and decisions regarding the allocation of resources. However, Adjusted Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Per Share should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, operating income, net income or other financial performance measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. (2) Tax adjustments for the three months ended March 27, 2013 are calculated using the Company's year-to-date effective tax rate of 33.5%.Tax adjustments for the three months ended March 28, 2012 are calculated using the Company's full year 2012 effective tax rate of 36.4%.

Join Wild Iris Books as we host a 3-month participant guided workshop to help self-identified women work through sexual trauma and violence in their lives. Often times our need for personal safety in the wake of these experiences forces us to build walls in a quest for self-preservation. Our goal is to break these walls, build escape doors, or create windows to let the light in. Our journeys are different but we believe the commonalities of our distress can help us forge a way to a more complete inner peace.
In order to promote group trust and intimacy we are asking that participants do their best to commit to all three sessions. No one will be turned away if you have a schedule conflict, so please know that you are still welcome to join us as you are able. All workshops will be held at Wild Iris from 7-9pm.
The workshops will combine sharing, storytelling, writing, painting, music, and interconnectedness as we allow each other to break through our walls of secrets and create paths to healing that can help free us from the violence that lives in our skin and souls. Groups will be facilitated by women in our community with no formal counselor training and we will allow the collective voice of the group to shape our movement and expression.
Confidentiality is paramount and all participants will be expected to hold communications in the highest most sacred regard. All materials will be provided, but we ask that you consider donating what you can afford to Wild Iris Books in support of their feminist mission.
Third Tuesday of April, May & June
7-9pm, Wild Iris Books
Journal Workshop – April 21
Art Workshop – May 19
Drum Circle Workshop – June 16
Please RSVP to email@example.com so we can adequately prepare materials! We've also removed the "show guest list option" to protect your privacy.
Your generous donations support our events and help to ensure we are able to continue operating Florida's only feminist bookstore.

hehe, yeah.. must be something about the name :P No worries though, we're working hard to make it as unforgettable as possible hehe

hehe, yeah.. must be something about the name :P No worries though, we're working hard to make it as unforgettable as possible hehe
I'm glad you like it. Stay around, as we'll soon be posting a pretty massive news release!
I realised that this game reminds me of a very old game I used to play many, many years back. I think it was called Conqueror but I'm not sure. Was looking for screenshots for reference, but couldn't find any. In any case, you had a knight, with whom you could travel across the map (just like the overviewmap in M&B), you could go into towns, cities and castles and borrow money, go to the tavern, compete with tournaments - and last but not least, recruit soldiers/mercenaries to raid castles. And occasionally a dragon would come swooping from the mountains and set farms on fire.
But yeah.. I absolutely loved that game..and now there's M&B, which reminds me on so many levels..and looks fantastic too!
hmm, i beg to differ on the weapons. I think they are perfect the way they are. Of course you'd be attacking slower with a 2h weapon - and the bow just takes a bit of practice - just like in real life. At first I had trouble with the bow, but after a while, I was able to headshot several enemies on a raid - didn't expect the small towns to have so many inhabitants though hehe.
working on a mod project, but I finished two add-on projects for TFC (ahh..back in the day *drool*). So err.. I put two finished ones down.
whoa it's hammy!! haven't seen you around for ages! but then again.. I haven't actually been ..err.. looking around for ages, either. Anywho.. how are you? How're the hammy mods going? :D
I've recently read
A Farewell to Arms, by Ernest Hemingways.
It was a very captivating read, I started it and simply could not put it down. I don't want to give away too much of the book, but the main character (Frederic Henry)is a volunteer ambulance driver from the United States, who gets wounded on the Italian front during WW1 and is sent to a hospital in Milan. There is life is changing, as he meets a range of interesting characters and has to make some tough decisions.
As far as I'm aware it's a semi-autobiographical novel, which made the read even more interesting. Give it a shot, I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
well thank god for that (never thought I'd say that about a game I'm looking forward to playing). I really don't mind spending money on this game, as it truly is worth it.. but at the moment I just can't afford it.
nope, everything was modeled from scratch using stock images from various sources around the internet.
Which, just to clarify is known as the USC :) - It's a semi-automatic version of the UMP that could be owned by private citizens for sporting purposes.
*sniffles* I just played and finished my trial of M&B. Absolutely loved it. Was one of those, start it once, and can't stop playing it games. My only problem now, as a student with actively running costs, I can't afford to fork out for a vid game (as much as I'd want to, but food and bills are of higher priority :P). Soooo.. please wait with going 1.0 until at least after next month? :D
I like the warm feeling of this shot.. however, I find that with a lot of the other screens of charsons town, the buildings look too "new" - like they have never been used before. I'm not sure which look you guys are aiming for, but at the moment its looking a bit like plastic.
But keep up the good work. I've been looking forward to parallel from the day it was announced!
ah brilliant news.. i love it when games (or mods for that matter) are designed with a modding community in mind. I could most definitely see myself working with this in the future!
very nice work, although I think the jump and jab action of the hero with the spear could possibly be improved, as the motion doesn't look that practical to attack from hehe. But then again, this video is from 2006 and hence things may have already been changed. But in any case.. really nice work you've done so far and I'm looking forward to playing it.
thanks for taking care of that/those unandpw guy(s). Their spam and useless comments really are the last thing modDB needs.
Keep up the wicked work you're doing :)
I have to say, reading the comments of ****, which were just oozing with "intelligence", really had a comedy value. Apart from the fact that he at least seems to know how to label himself, I thought his pathetic outburst was, no - it actually still is - laughable. Complaining about other "fanboys" giving this mod a bad rap is fair enough...but keep it away from the mod itself if you are going to be, well, a **** about it, as that kind of behavior is the last thing we need at modDB.
Go create a blog or something and have a whine there. At least then people would have to actively look for your crap, rather than you forcing it upon them. Now go ahead and sift through my comment. Look for errors. I'm sure there are some.
now, I have to admit..I only just came across this game and it looks amazing! I'm really looking forward to playing 0 A.D. - however I had a question: Will the game follow a historical path exactly, or will there be something like a campaign world map, where the player gets to decide which area to move into next. I guess kind of like that rise of nations game.
In any case, I'm quite looking forward to this! Keep up the great work!
I really liked heart of evil when it was released for hl1 - I think back then I actually found it via PHL. Looking forward to the source port :)
very nice! I think this is perfect! In fact, I would even go as far as saying it's better than the diablo original :) Very nice work guys
this definitely already looks better than hud 2. The grey gargoyles set a nice contrast from the health and mana globes.
I'll also keep a look out for potential replacement items though. If I find anything I'll forward it to you guys! In any case, keep up the great work!
fair enough, in regards to their mod blog. But I still think that their community management is lacking dramatically, to say the least. It has been over 4 months since their last publicised community update. 4 months since we were told how things are looking; 4 months since we were told what the future for BMS looks like; 4 months since we last had a sign of life from the team. And I don't count updates on their website or dev-blogs or forum posts. To me, that is all internal..if they really did care about how to go about keeping their community on their toes, with out actually ignoring them, they need to keep us updated here. Otherwise, what is the point of them having a modDB profile in the first place?
Don't get me wrong, I have tremendous respect for the mod team, and I appreciate all the work that they are putting into the mod. I am leading a mod myself and I can vouch for the fact that things can be difficult, they will take time and you simply shouldn't rush them. However, at the same time, I am of the mind that their community on modDB needs to know whats happening. Otherwise, as AFK already pointed out, we will either begin to think that the mod is A: Dead, or B: Going Nowhere Fast. Neither choice is particularly great, but I have to say, out of the two, option B is the more damaging one.
Hey mate,
I replied to your PM. Really like your work and I also forwarded it onto one of our main mappers, as I think combining both of your talents to work on the town Elder's Creek for The Forgotten would really come to amazing results. I think it's safe to say that things are looking quite good for your application :)
Take Care,
they def look sweet, but as letteralex said, they don't fit in smoothly. The scale is a little bit off. I think if they are made slightly smaller, it would have a greater effect.
hmm.. yeah, the copyright is obviously something to watch out for.. but the closer it can capture the feeling that the diablos portrayed, the better it will be.
already got them hehe. I was specifically impressed by paranoia's achievement of pushing goldsource to the limits.
looking very nice indeed! Keep up the great work, my new favorite namesake mod :D I just installed hl1 goldsource again, so I can make use of some of the great looking new mods for hl1 goldsource which are spreading like wildfire it seems.
Nice news post :) Am a big fan of penny arcade, so will def be looking forward to this. One prob that I could foresee though is the control and handling of the character. From the video it looked liked it was somewhat difficult to properly guide the character through doors. But considering this is just an alpha, it's already looking great! Keep it up :)

The same day 18-year-old Vantezz Carter was charged with disorderly conduct for pointing an Airsoft-style gun in the Belleville West parking lot, 26-year-old Aaron Ybarra was playing for keeps at Seattle Pacific University in Washington.
Ybarra is charged with killing one student and shooting two others. It follows deadly shootings in Isla Vista, Calif., Griffith, Ind., Detroit, Miami, and the list goes on. A review published in February found there had been at least 44 schools shootings since the 2012 attack at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. Twenty-eight people died in those subsequent attacks and 37 people were injured.
So yes, metro-east school and law enforcement officials have zero tolerance for even replica weapons and will pursue charges in such cases. That's not an overreaction. Belleville District 201 Superintendent Jeff Dozier said it best: "There's no such thing as playing with that. If it looks like a weapon, we treat it like it's a weapon."
You'd think students would have figured out by now that they can't even bring replica weapons onto campus. Those who still do so will have to learn the hard way that guns are never a joking matter.
