CMC Alum to be Regular Trainer on New Food Network Show Fat Chef
CMC alum Brett Hoebel '93 will be featured as a regular trainer and health guru on a new Food Network series called Fat Chef, premiering January 26. Hoebel will join a crew of other fitness experts and nutritionists as they work one-on-one with professional chefs who have an unhealthy relationship with the one thing that has brought them a successful career — food.
The program will run for six episodes and follow 12 chefs over the course of four months as they work through gut-busting workouts and nutritional sessions in order to slim down and regain control of their lives.
Hoebel, a former trainer on the TV show The Biggest Loser, will have quite a challenge helping 300+ pound chefs lose 25 percent of their body weight during the 16-week period. However, as an award-winning group fitness instructor and a nationally recognized personal trainer who has been featured on The Today Show and Good Morning America, Hoebel definitely has the experience to help the chefs achieve their slimming goal. Hoebel's passion for fitness, holistic health and healthy lifestyles comes from his days as an overweight youth. In his sophomore year in high school Hoebel reached a healthy weight through his involvement in sports and has been dedicated to helping others do the same ever since.
Tune in to the Food Network Thursday, January 26 at 10 p.m. PST for the season premiere and watch Hoebel help these professional chefs fight back against food.

Matchup: Washington State Cougars at Stanford Cardinal
Date/Time: October 10, 9:00 p.m. ET
College Football Betting Odds From BetDSI Sportsbook
Spread: Stanford -17
Total: OFF
The latest crushing defeat for Mike Leach and the Washington State Cougars was certainly one for the ages. In a game that featured 119 points and over 1,200 passing yards, Quentin Breshears shanked a 19-yard field goal and the Cougars fell 60-59 to Cal. Speaking of tough losses, the Stanford Cardinal have to bounce back from a last-minute loss to Notre Dame as Everett Golson threw a touchdown pass with 1:01 left on the clock to secure a 17-14 win. Oddsmakers are clearly expecting a Stanford bounce back game as they are a 17-point favorite.
Through six games, Washington State is throwing for a league-best 523 yards per game. Despite that, the Cougars are just 2-4 with a couple of surprising results mixed in. The Cougars hung right in against the Oregon Ducks in a 38-31 loss and upset Utah 28-27 with a tremendous fourth quarter comeback. Connor Halliday has been outstanding for the Cougars with 250 completions, 3,052 yards, and 26 touchdowns against seven interceptions. Four of Washington State's receivers have over 495 yards receiving. This game will be a huge test for the Stanford secondary.
Every game is a huge test for the Cougars defense. The Cougars have allowed 35.2 points per game, which ranks 106th in the country, and just gave up 60 points to Cal. Surprisingly, Washington State's two best defensive performances have come on the road. Nevada scored only 24 points and managed just 324 yards and Utah scored only 27 points and managed just 357 yards. The Cougars managed to upset the Utes, but scored just 13 points against Nevada. The Cougars could have a hard time matching Stanford's physicality. The losses of Deone Bucannon and Justin Sagote, who combined for 220 tackles last season, has hurt.
The Cardinal have not faced many solid defenses and are still managing just 372 yards of offense per game. That has translated to just 24.8 points per game. The offense has been methodical, but the loss of Tyler Gaffney and three starting offensive linemen has clearly had an impact. Gaffney ran for over 1,700 yards and 21 touchdowns last season and the returning leading rusher for the Cardinal had 14 carries for 120 yards. This season, Stanford running backs have averaged just 4.1 yards per carry, which would be the lowest since 2007. The Cardinal offense struggled mightily in South Bend with just 205 yards against Notre Dame.
Defensively, Stanford has been on point, despite key losses of Shayne Skov and Trent Murphy. Through five games, the Cardinal defense has not allowed more than 17 points, but the team is just 3-2. Opponents have averaged 8.6 points per game. This will be an interesting game for the Stanford defense. They have posted shutouts against UC Davis and Army, two teams that are known for running the football, and have held down balanced offenses like USC and Notre Dame. Washington State will throw the football and push the tempo, so this is a much different team to gameplan for.
Washington State is 3-3 ATS on the season and 1-1 ATS away from home on the season. Mike Leach is now 17-14 against the spread at Washington State. The Cougars were 5-0 ATS as a road underdog last season and are 1-0 as a road underdog this season. David Shaw is 26-18-2 against the spread at Stanford and he is 2-3 ATS on the season. As a home favorite, Shaw is 11-11 ATS. Stanford has won six straight over Washington State by an average of 28 points per game.

text: I decided to do some reconfiguring of my system, and move my old SATA drives onto a raid controller card that I had. It uses the VIA 6421 chipset, and the onboard raid uses the 8251. I was a bit surprised that when I booted the OS automatically loaded a driver with the same date and ID #, but that really isn't the question at the moment. Both controllers appear in the Device Manager with a numerical suffix...3249 for the onboard and 3349 on the card. Also the VIA Bus Master IDE controller is suffixed 571, but that did not change with the addition of the controller card. What is the significance of these numbers?

What old and new SIM has to do with it. It is simply not a SIM's problem. Apple has to provide an answer.
I paid 52000INR to see this error that SIM card is not installed. then what I just inserted? a peanut?

Dear, This was an old issue. What is the OS you have. It needed an update. you need to upgrade to OS5.1.1 (9B206). This had sorted out the no sim , invalid SIm etc for 99% of the iPhone users of IP4S.

I AM using the latest version. Phone us up to date. Problem still exists. It's intermittent. Instead of apple asking users to test it, they should ask their QA department.

Re: Sim Card Failure No Sim with iPhone 4S Anyone Else? in response to Shobhitjain
Hi Shobhitjain,
Please know that there are many, many folks that have passed through this discussion forum that have felt the frustration you are going through. Telling you this is obviously not a solution. But, the sting of misery is sometimes alleviated somewhat with company.
Now...down to business. Sathyam offered you the most likely culprit causing your SIM problems. But, since you are running 5.1.1 that removes the software/firmware update as a solution. Others have definitely found relief from this problem by replacing their current SIM card. Sometimes, there is not a lot of obvious logic with the SIM card solution. We have had forum members who had a card that worked in another iPhone, but did NOT work in their 4S. Nevertheless, a new SIM card solved their problem. The 4S appears to be a VERY simcentric device and has little tolerance for SIM cards that deviate from the norm. So, if I were you I would do the following (copied from an earlier post I made).
Based on other's experiences in this forum, ask your cell carrier for a NEW 128K MICRO SIM card for your iPhone. They should not hassle you about this. Show them this discussion forum if necessary. Right now, that is your most likely suspect and is the next thing you should address as you troubleshoot your problem. Just make sure you are provided you with a NEW 128K MICRO SIM card as there is enough evidence available to suggest that the 4S reacts poorly to smaller capacity cards, used cards from previous iPhones (or any phone, and even if that used card was working fine in the previous phone), etc.
Good luck and let the forum know how things go so folks can learn from your experience.
If this doesn't work I would demand Apple, or your cell provider, replace your iPhone. It still is under its 1 year warrantee as the phone did not come out till last fall.
Best, Mr. Luigi

Re: Sim Card Failure No Sim with iPhone 4S Anyone Else? in response to Mr. Luigi
Hi again Mr. Luigi,
I completely concur with your kind response to another flustered iPhone user-wannabe!!
I recently returned from an extended journey outside the USA where I was plagued with the INVALID SIM and finally NO SIM card error messages. Since I couldn't initiate nor receive voice calls, I had a good deal of time to delve into this discussion thread. You along with the frustrating experiences of other hapless biters of the poisoned Apple reassured me that "the fix" would be on the top of my to do list once I came home. Indeed, my suitcases are not completely unpacked, but I have had a new SIM card for several days now. It came without hassles save a few telephone calls, ironically from my trusty ole' land line, to determine that I could not swarm into the trusty firm from which I purchased the entire iPhone array(Radio Shack) but that I would indeed have to locate and present myself, iPhone in hot hand to a brick-and-mortar storefront operated by my carrier(AT& T.) Luckily, though not neat so convenient to get to as my original vendor, indeed there WAS a store some towns away from me!! Installed by a polite and understanding young salesman, my new SIM card APPEARS to be working just fine for nearly two weeks now. Fingers crossed!!! I was waiting for a full month of acceptable service before reporting back, but the urgency of Shobitjain's plight stirred me to action today.
I also received a $50.00 credit during my landline call to AT &T when I was locating a storefront. This was offered in response to my request for compensation. When I was actually at the store, the salesman asked if "AT&T had made it right for me" indicating $$$$, I am sure. I informed him that the voice on the phone had done so. My bill balance immediately reflected the discount, no waiting a month or more for a credit to appear.
I do not know if I do have a 128 micro SIM card as you suggest. It is new, I believe as I saw it emerge from packaging. The salesman first asked me to remove the tightly fitting iPhone skin I purchased with all the goodies at my initial purchase. I declined as I had NOT installed the protective Apple-product-casing at Radio Shack initially nor would I do it then! He had great difficulty getting the case to part but eventually was successful (the store was closing for the evening!!) My opinion has been in my particular case, that the error message was heat- related. Not ambient heat, as I was very careful in the particularly hot and dry area of this beautiful world to which I travelled; but heat generated from the iPhone itself. At odd times, mostly at night and in greatly cooled interiors, I actually received and initiated a call or two!!!
I stated that I intended
Mr. Luigi Jul 20, 2012 12:54 PM
Re: Sim Card Failure No Sim with iPhone 4S Anyone Else? in response to iSwanpeck
Hi iSwanpeck! Good to hear from you and that your iPhone's performance has improved...at least for 2 weeks! I believe that is a good sign.
You may find it interesting to know that in my problem solving protocol for this SIM issue is always to start off making sure the user has updated to iOS 5.1.1.
If that does not offer relief, then I suggest replacing the SIM card with a new one....no matter how convinced you are that the SIM card is ok. I bet that you DID receive a 128K card although it is not easy to confirm such things as they don't stamp something helpful like "128K" on these cards. Go figure! But, the fact is the SIM card has turned out to be the culprit on many occasions.
My third step is right in line with your suspicions. HEAT! However, I don't think it is heat by itself. I think heat creates the conditions for a marginal SIM card to fail. So, sometimes, even without changing the SIM card, running the iPhone at a cooler temperature can return it to functioning condition, or partial functioning condition. But, really, it is the SIM card. (This, of course, is just conjecture on my part based on reading a lot of anecdotal information.) A lot of the most protective cases, such as the Otterbox Defender, insulate the iPhone so much that they can cause it to heat up just enough to expose a SIM card's weakness. Removing the protective case appears to help. But, who wants to lose the protection of their case! So, in the end, I think the best solution is to replace the SIM card with a new one (as you have done). Hopefully, this will allow you to use your iPhone, with case, and not have it display any SIM failures.
One last thing for others reading this. I have heard of EXTREME heating conditions where an iPhone WITH A NEW SIM CARD, still fails. But, for this to happen the phone must be overheated beyond its recommended operating temperatures. One example...using the iPhone as a GPS navigator (which puts a very heavy demand on the iPhone's processor creating a fair amount of heat all by itself), housed in a highly insulating case such as the Otterbox Defender, mounted on a very hot dashboard in a hot climate. But, that could cause a lot of phones to fail. In those situations I have heard that folks have solved the problem by directing some of the cool air from the Air Conditioner toward the iPhone.
I hope your trip was enjoyable. Welcome back!
Mr. Luigi

Re: Sim Card Failure No Sim with iPhone 4S Anyone Else? in response to robsdoghouse
I have a 4S 16GB on iOS 5.1.1 from Orange, since November 2011. .
In the past three weeks it has intermittently shown Invalid SIM or SIM Failure. There's no obvious cause (the phone hasn't been dropped or overheated) or pattern, and power off and on doesn't help, nor does re-inserting the SIM, going to Airplane Mode, etc.
I'm posting this in the hope that Apple is monitoring this thread and will give an explanation and straightforward advice.

Unusual because from postings in this forum it is not common to see an iPhone functioning properly through all this mess that started when the iPhone 4S was released last fall and THEN start to show the SIM problem almost 9 months later.
It appears you have tried all the less intrusive stratagies that have given some users relief. The only missing thing you could do (which I do NOT recommend doing right now as it is quite time consuming) is to first backup your iPhone and THEN do a reset. I won't go into the details of this right now b/c, as I said, it would not be my choice for a next step.
As unusual as your situation is, some things are relatively common and I believe help us to chose your next step. For reasons I do not know, Orange has been mentioned in this discussion forum quite a bit with regard to SIM problems. I do not live in the UK and am not familiar enough with Orange to know why this is so. But, those Orange customers who have had SIM problems have frequently found relief by having Orange swap out their current SIM card replacing it with a NEW 128K micro SIM card. I know. I know. You have heard this a 100 times. But, the fact remains that the iPhone 4S is very particular with regard to the state of affairs of the SIM card being used and what type it is. I don't know how old your current SIM card is. Was it brand new when you bought your iPhone 4S? Was it transferred from a previously owned phone? No matter, SIM cards do go bad and it is possible that has happened to yours. I would go to Orange, explain all you've already done to troubleshoot this problem, look exhasperated, explain that other Orange customers have solved their problem by replacing the SIM card (use this forum as proof although hopefully that will be unnecessary) and stand your ground until they replace your SIM card with a brand new 128K micro SIM card. I am sounding a bit defiant and aggressive here and I don't want to imply that you will have problems getting Orange to replace the SIM card. Much more often than not things have gone smoothly with Orange. But, you may get a salesperson on a bad day. Don't take no for an answer.
If that doesn't work, then you really need to start to suspect your iPhone and it would be time to ask Apple for an exchange. You could mess with this problem forever and that is not fair. Take advantage of Apple's reputation for good customer service and get a replacement phone. You are clearly within your 1 year warrantee period.
But, because replacing the SIM card is relatively painless I would absolutely go that route first.
By the way, you mentioned the hope that someone from Apple is monitoring this forum and might post a coherent reply or response. I have never seen that happen. I am sure Apple has their reasons for pursueing this strategy. I am pretty sure I would not like their response! Be that as it may, these forums are for Apple users to share their experiences and for other Apple users to offer assistance if they can. Obvioulsy, someone from Apple is monitoring these posts. I am sure if I unleashed a tirade of ungentlemenly language here, the post would be removed by a moderator from Apple. But, that's the extent of Apple's involvement as far as I can tell.
There is an Apple Feedback site where customers can share concerns with Apple. I don't think that would be of much help to you in this situation since the SIM problem appears to be relatively conquered as of this date. However, for future use, this is the link to the feedback site:
Please do let us know how things turned out for you as that would be of help to future users of this forum.
And Good Luck! Mr. Luigi

Re: Sim Card Failure No Sim with iPhone 4S Anyone Else? in response to Mr. Luigi
Hi Luigi,
Thank you for the response. I am happy that there are people in APPLE to hear us.
I will speak to my network provider which is Airtel (India) to get a 128 K SIM.
Though I got the SIM faliure msg today too. If a new SIM doesn't work, will Apple change my device? Its just 1 month old.
My contact number is an indian mobile number which is +91 9829651551 You can call me anytime if Apple has a policy to call customers and supporrt them. No Time difference issue I would attand your call anytime.

I called Orange who asked if I'd tried the SIM in another phone. I did, and found it didn't work in that (iPhone) either, but the other phone's SIM did work in my iPhone. Went to the Orange shop, they called Support who have posted a replacement SIM card today.

I had the same issue. I pulled the sim card and noticed some discoloration on the contacts so I cleaned it with a tissue and put the card back in. Doing this seemed to fix the issue for me.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Tablet Plus
Tcherassi Hotel + Spa
Calle del Sargento Mayor, No 6-21, Cartagena, Colombia
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Rarely is the Colombian city of Cartagena mentioned without reference to its rich Spanish colonial history. Most of the hotels in town make as much as they can of this heritage, and the architecture it left behind. And so, in its way, does the Tcherassi Hotel + Spa — but anyone expecting a pure nostalgia trip is likely to be surprised by what they find. Not disappointed, mind — the house's old colonial bones are still very much in place, but the owner, fashion designer Silvia Tcherassi, has made some pretty unmissable additions.
It's rare to find a hotel whose period detailing and contemporary finishes manage to coexist in such harmony. Perhaps the key is that it's not exactly subtle — the unfinished brick and stone walls are unapologetically rough, while the fabrics and finishes are flamboyantly luxe. And it probably helps to work with such a small canvas; with just seven rooms and suites there's no space for Ms. Tcherassi to repeat herself.
The fact that the restaurant seats more guests than the hotel sleeps ought to give you an idea of what sort of place this is — the upper floor, where the guest rooms are, may be quiet and intimate, but the Tcherassi isn't shy of a bit of attention. And it'll get plenty of it — there's nothing like it anywhere else in Cartagena, that's for sure.
How to Get There
The hotel is 3km from Cartagena's Rafael Nunez International airport (CTG) and 109 km from Barranquilla International Airport (BAQ).

What I liked:
Lemonade w/mint upon arrival. Terrific showers in the room + extremely comfortable bed + decor
What the hotel could do better:
Service was a tiny bit wonky. Also, the dinner we had at the hotel was quite good but one of the pastas was quite weak. Also the wine list was overpriced.

What I liked:
The rooms are just as pictured. Very modern , beautiful and clean. Rain shower is great. Gazar room also has a large tub.
Pool on the roof is small but sufficient. Staff is very nice at front desk. The hotel smells gorgeous.
What the hotel could do better:
The spa is small and is only open until 4pm. The service errs on the side of "leaving guests alone" which is fine most of the time but when we were at the roof pool we would have appreciated being offered a menu or drinks...

Good read. Long winded text and dialogue = skip. Let the players really EXPERIENCE the narrative as they go.
Another issue mmorpgs specifically have is conveying a story where people (together as a community) are the main plot, rather than trying to make 100's of players feel like they're all individually special. As many have said before the whole "you are the chosen one" is quite old and hard to sell in mmos. MMOs are about big populations, and the stories should fit that overall narrative, while allowing individual players or small groups to carve out their own sub plots.

What no bashing on highly successful MMOs and try to promote your own game that failed and the company fires you later down the road?
Story telling has a place in single player games but has minimal functionality in MMOs. Sure its a great way to do quests but most people want quality end game and could give a rat's ass of why they are fighting the boss besides the fact that it has epic loot.
If someone REALLY wants a good story then they would read a damn book as no video game will EVER match the imagination of the human mind when they have a good book. Even the greatest video games of all times will never even come close to a good book by a good writer. Video games allow player interaction, that is the only good it does.
And really the audience NEEDS to be told that the clay in the Sherlock example is cracked and the color pointed out as most would ignore the details. Just like the details of the game environment are lost on many players as they can care less or take the time to appreciate the details.
It is completely and utterly laughable at the concept that a video game provides and experience. Only one thing does that.... and that is called REAL LIFE, And books will always surpass video games with story telling as it gives the reader the minute details they need to know. Books far surpass movies, just books are much more time consuming and most people just want to plunk down on the sofa and watch their flick while eating popcorn. It is even more laughable to even conceive the thought that video games would equate to experience unless we're on the starship enterprise's holo deck or something.

The problem with this is when living it replaces understanding it. That 'boring' monologue would make sure you have all the facts, that boring (for some) quest chat tells you exactly why you should be helping out. Richness of background cannot come from 'experience', it comes from lore, history or the like. That's why some of the best films and games have a literary IP like Lord of the Rings; or if they did not have one, they wrote one into the game, like Elder Scrolls.
This is also about motivation, in Half Life you understand why you are motivated to pursue the story. Not all stories can be told with simple visual clues. You know what side you are on when you see Orcs slaughtering villagers, how do visual clues help when you get involved in diplomatic negotiations between warring peoples?
So there is the issue Mark Kern and the rest need to address, rely too much on visual clues and you dumb down MMOs to an episode of Tom and Jerry. You as Jerry hit Tom on the head, he chases you..you know what to do. MMOs can be far more than that.

First off I think kern is just putting this out here and not doing so to benifit some game he's working on. I was around when he was working on firefall and I argued long ago what was happening to it and where it would fail if it continued on its path (look at the game now).
if anything in gaming mark know's how to market he doesn't need to come here and make little posts like this

This might be the single best article I've read on mmorpg.com. Thanks for your perfect injection of the art of immersion into a genre that is all about numbers and results.
If games were all about this kind of immersion, I would probably be a game developer right now instead of a general software engineer.

I agree with what your point is. But I have another issue that's closely related.
These are MMO's, not single player games. For SPG's, this example is fine. But for MMO's I expect to feel like I'm in a world. With that in mind, HOW this example is done is important.
In a SPG experience you can have this be, let's say, a level 5 quest. Everyone does it, and no one expects differently. But in a world such as many of us expect, having a standard level 5 quest that everyone does and then never does it again until the time comes that the lights go out at night because there's no more newbs, then running a boring "rinse and repeat" with no challenge because you're level xx is bad game play.
What I'd suggest is make MMO's the worlds they should be. Take this example and take away the "quest" part. Make it part of the world. Remove the power gaps that make such a run for a crystal too easy, and make the crystals random as opposed to fixed (even better is to add some insight in the game for, say, where a crustal might next "grow") and let players do the run on a whim or in a need. Let the lights go out at night if they don't, let the shop keepers close their doors when it's dark to provide incentive, and let the players have a say in running the city.
That makes it a world instead of a massively single player game experience.
Once upon a time....

I want quality of storytelling and delivery. I am not too obsessed about having a unique experience which a lot of people seem to be obsessing about.
What you have outlined is your opinion of an RPG. I am more intrested in the story of an RPG. I play RPGs as they supposedly can immerse you in a world with a compelling story. Of course, they can give you tons of options along the way and make it more sandboxy but ultimately the story has to be there and it has to be good.
I have read too many posts about how developers should allow players to create their own unique story but how does that even work? I haven't seen any specific examples of this which developers can put to practice.

I disagree with the article. A working example of the author's beliefs is TSW - the gameplay is rubbish.
The gameplay should be the main focus. Stories should be considered additional - the icing on the cake.
I think Elite: Dangerous has the right approach.

Great article!
This article really mirrors my feelings on what the main problems are with story presentation in so many games today, especially MMORPGs.
I've played so many MMORPGs that just try to forcefeed me story with paragraphs and paragraphs of lengthy quest text. Not only is this quest text laborious to read (or listen to, VO doesn't really help IMO), it's nearly always an excuse to make the player "kill 10 rats" and it's usually disjointed from other quests in the game. So playing an MMORPG really feels like sitting through an extremely long book of mediocre short stories.
Even worse, I've noticed that most MMORPGs seem to skimp on creating a really interesting world with interactivity that can convey the story to the player. You will have reams and reams of menial quest text, but the world will consist of like 5 copy pasta dungeon designs, some blank outdoor areas, and uninspired cities with barely any interactivity. How is a world like this supposed to convey the fantastical sense of wonder that the developer is striving for to the player?
If you want another great example of how this more suttle, interactive storytelling method can be effective...look at the Souls series. Dark Souls hardly tells you ANY story. It gives you like a few lines of extremely cryptic exposition to start, and that's it. You encounter lots of amazing areas in your journey, but the game hardly ever explains things to you...you are mainly left to either wander around in ignorance or do your own research to figure out what the heck is going on.
And yet, despite this seeming ignorance of story...Dark Souls has a TON of lore up on the web and a community that really enjoys the worlds, and story, of the Souls series.
Why is this? Why is it that a game, which hardly contains any story text, generates far more interest in it story than a game that has novels of quest text in it like an MMORPG?
I think that the answer is in the world of the game. Dark Souls may not tell you a story...but in a sense, it is a story. The world of Dark Souls is dripping with atmosphere and it's begging for you to uncover its mysteries. The story of Dark Souls is told in its ruined towers, vast libraries, and glowing crystal caverns.
What Dark Souls gets that other games seem to miss is that we, as gamers, want to experience the story...not just read or listen to the story.

The article makes great points, and it stands on its own merit. Making an ad hominem attack against the author doesn't change that in the slightest.
Also...did you know that Albert Einstein did not believe in the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics, which turned out to be correct? In fact, he even argued vehemently against them. So since Einstein was wrong here, I guess we have to just disregard all that theory of relativity stuff that he came up with before right? Because anything that dude said must be stupid.
Don't you see how ridiculous this is? I mean...I'm sure at some point in your life you failed a test or got a bad grade in school...would you like it if people disregard everything you say because you got that F in Chemistry once?

Good article, although I assume you were talking about Dungeons and Dragons Online when you mention the narrator telling you what you're hearing? And obviously that was an intentional choice, kind of bringing the role of a dungeon master in a pen and paper game of DND into the MMO, not a lack of creativity on the part of DDO's creators :p

I think, when it comes to story telling, it's not how it's implemented, but how well. If the story makes you forget that you're leveling, then that's good story telling. Only two games come to mind that implemented story really well, one was TSW and the other FFXI. In both games players can recall all the quests by name, that's very good story telling.

Pierce Stiff But OK
|10.11.08 at 10:27 pm ET
Paul Pierce knows he's in for a battle whenever he goes up against Ron Artest. So while Artest's tough play seemed uncharacteristic for most preseason games, Pierce was not surprised at all.
"That's Ron," Pierce said. "He plays like that preseason, summer league, regular season. That's the way he plays."
Artest's hustle was tough enough to send Pierce to the locker room in the first quarter with a stinger.
"It's a little stiff. I've got a crick in my neck but I'm going to be alright," Pierce said.
The Celtics captain knows Artest is only the beginning of opponents who will be gunning for him this season.
"You've got to understand, when you're the champs people are going to come at you whether it's preseason, regular season," he said. "We've just got to be ready for it."

Hi plugin devs.
Thanks for the great plugin (as all the plugins you made).
I'm e using the plugin BP-TinyMCE with Greek and I noticed that Greek characters are stored as HTML special characters into the db table.
For example "Ποια" is stored as
The fix is very simple. Just add
entity_encoding:"raw",into bp-tinymce.php line: 50
At http://lenasterg.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/bp-tinymce-plugin-with-greek/ you will find the complete line change.
It would be great if you added this into your next version update.
Thanks in advance

Chromosome, Prokaryotic
The E. Coli Chromosome Is a Single Circle.
Because the single DNA molecule forming the chromosome is so long (about 4.6 million base pairs), it is easily broken when researchers try to isolate it. However, in the early 1960s, the Australian biochemist John Cairns was able to gently lyse E. coli cells without breaking the chromosome. He was interested in chromosomal replication and had labeled the DNA with tritium (3H), a radioactive form of hydrogen. Autoradiograms of the DNA demonstrated that the bacterial chromosome is a circular molecule. While the vast majority of bacterial species possess a single unique chromosome, there are a few rare species, such as Vibrio cholerae (the agent that causes the disease cholera) and Deinococcus radiodurans, that have two different chromosomes.

Any Watkins 27 Owners in Florida?
I'm researching my first cruiser purchase. The Watkins 27 has caught my attention because it's large beam and cabin seem like a good fit for family cruising. I won't be racing. I've read Watkins are slow.
I'm interested in coming aboard a Watkins 27. I would like to see one first hand before I bid online or travel across the country to investigate a possible deal.
I travel Florida extensively for work and can visit just about anywhere in the state.
If you are willing, please pm me or reply to the thread. I can send you my details. I won't waste your whole day. I just want 30 minutes to look about. I would go for a cruise if you twist my arm.
Fairwinds, Ryan

Let your kids eat mud?
I also think there's some common sense in the hygiene hypothesis. Dirt is natural. Antibacterial hand soap is not. And, while we're on the subject of common sense, before you embrace this hypothesis and let your child lick a friend's ice cream cone, please do use your own common sense. Right now, there is a flu epidemic raging. It is probably not the right time to be sharing ice cream or movie soda drinking straws. But go ahead and leave your bookshelves dusty. It just may do your kids some good.

Monday's Obie ceremony at Webster Hall, the 50th edition of a downtown institution, erupted with that immediacy, at a reception bathed in hot lights and cool jazz. The slide show over the bar made waiting for beer a serendipitous adventure. At this "family reunion," representatives of many generations mingled to eat and drink and meet and greet: Harry Koutoukas, who won an Obie in 1965, and who "worked at the Voice when it was in a cold-water flat." Katie Pearl, who arrived in New York from Austin in 2000 and won an Obie for Nita and Zita in 2003. Myra Carter, one of Edward Albee's original "three tall women." Lee Breuer. Robert Heide, who started out at the Caffe Cino.
Jerry Tallmer, looking quite Einsteinian, offered a valediction, invoking Joseph Papp. Presenter Elaine Stritch, handing a plaque to Cherry Jones, thanked heaven "for the candlepower of a New York actress creating a legend for the next century." Jones, born in the same year as the Obies, said she thought, the first time she saw ghostly light surrounding an actor onstage, that "it was her soul going up." Director Doug Hughes declared, "I am not a religious man, but I thank God for all of you." The youngest winner, Kieran Culkin, muttered that he had to go to the bathroom. John Patrick Shanley invoked the theater's "fire, ice, love, pain, ugliness, beauty, in a nonstop rampage of excellence," then raised "fuckin' " to the status of a blessing. Deidre O'Connell thanked "all of the women in my acting food chain," who, when she felt like she was too tired to sustain excellence any longer, kept her going. "To steal from them is a great privilege."
Host Brían F. O'Byrne declared that the Catholic Church deserved an Obie for provoking playwrights. Nearly two dozen writers rushed the stage to celebrate the Ross Wetzsteon Memorial Award to New Dramatists, which began supporting theatrical writing in 1949, and which still, in the words of leader Todd London, "acknowledges the necessity of community in the lives of individual artists." Accepting a $3,000 cash grant, the director of the Little Theater at Tonic noted that their building was having plumbing problems, and that "we'll probably be flushing a certain percentage of your award down the drain."
Sarah Jones thanked her co-presenter, Rue McClanahan, "for putting the sex back in sexagenarian." Christopher Shinn, accepting his award for writing Where Do We Live, was this year's carrier of the perennial tale of the out-of-town kid (he's from Hartford) who pores over back issues of the Voice in the public library before heading for the big time in Manhattan. Members of Philly's Pig Iron thanked the professor at Swarthmore who showed them videos of Joe Chaikin.
The last word went to John Guare, awarded an Obie for sustained achievement, who was grateful that "there is a theater for a new generation to come into."

The Great Dictator, © 1940 United Artists Corporation; photograph from a private collectionAmerican comedy film, released in 1940, that Charlie Chaplin both acted in and directed. Satirizing Adolf Hitler and Nazism and condemning anti-Semitism, it was Chaplin's most successful film at the box office.
Chaplin portrayed a Jewish barber who is mistaken for a tyrannical dictator. He plays up the charade and ultimately gives a speech in which he calls for peace and compassion. Chaplin, in a dual role, also played the fascist dictator, modeled after Hitler.
Copyright © 1940 United Artists CorporationThe Great Dictator was Chaplin's first feature film with full sound. When the movie was released in 1940, the United States was still not officially at war with Nazi Germany. The names of the characters mock the fascist leaders of the day, including "Adenoid Hynkel," standing in for Hitler, and ministers "Garbitsch" and "Herring," who were modeled on Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Göring, respectively. "Benzino Napaloni," dictator of the neighbouring country of "Bacteria," was a satirical portrayal of Italy's Benito Mussolini. One of the film's most-celebrated scenes features Hynkel dancing with a balloon of the world to the music of Richard Wagner. Chaplin later said he would never have been able to make the film had the true extent of the Nazis' crimes been widely known.
