Recent Schweitzer Mountain reviews
"We had our 3boys n their wives n 2grandkids under 2. Everyone had a great time and we enjoyed the cabin and the bop parking pass , the hot tub etc. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very small but functional. Good to have 3 bathrooms. I would say though that for all the laundry and cleaning you have to do to leave, the cleaning fee is way too high! Also in years like this with little snow for skiing the price per night was a little high compared to other places. Also the toddler found Devon in the living room. Probably shouldn't be there."Guest: Aconcien Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 19, 2015View listing
"Our old ski group got together for a getaway at Schweitzer for MLK weekend. This house had exceptional amenities and enough room for everyone. Although the hot tub and sauna were not working properly we were able to utilize the steam room. Easier to ski out of than ski into, but only if there is decent snow coverage on the roads and through the trees. Very private and great view."Guest: Jarid Adams Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 23, 2015View listing
"Beautiful chalet, great hosts, amazing architectural design, close to resort, and well-appointed rooms. High end comfort along with wonderful breakfasts. Thanks to our gracious hosts especially for getting up early, early to make breakfasts for my young ski racer. Only issue is we didn't have any snow, only rain. The nice accommodations helped make up for the poor ski conditions. We also had a spontaneous/surprise birthday party for our daughter that turned out wonderful-- hats off and we'll be back next time for the powder! Thanks!!"Guest: Scott and family Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 16, 2015View listing
"We have had a family ski weekend for many years, and finding a place to stay has become more challenging as our family has grown. This worked great for us. There was plenty of room for the 11 of us, with room to spare in the future if we keep adding grandkids. The home included space for us all to gather, but the suites also gave each of our grown kids and families the option of some privacy. The village is close and easy to reach with the shuttle. Chip was easy to work with."Guest: Richard S. Date of Stay: January 2015 Review Submitted: January 21, 2015View listing

Finally, the phrase 'riding my jock' could be used in the Dodgers' clubhouse without referencing Alyssa Milano. Joc Pederson went 1-for-3, 2 RBIs with his 15th homer in the 1st game of the doubleheader, then 2-for-5, 2 RBIs with his 16th homer in the 2nd game of the doubleheader. He now has a .260 average to go with the 16 homers and 2 steals. Oh, bee tee dubya, he has 30-steal speed, we just haven't seen it yet! I don't even own him and he makes me goose pimply and go humma-humma-humma and get warm and fuzzy and make me want to dip my hand into wax and walk into Madame Tussaud's and say, "I'm Tom Selleck from the third floor." How is it even possible I like a guy I don't own? Am I getting empathic unlike Alice in Luther? This isn't coming out of nowhere either. He had the PCL's first and only 30/30 year in 2014. First time in 80 years someone had done that in the PCL. Not since Trout has a player gone from rookie to the first round, but this Joc has the tools! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Drew Pomeranz
Small sample size (that's what she said!)… Oh wait, I'm not Grey on the Podcast!
Let's start over… Aherm…
Small sample size… They happen all the time. Shane Greene is awesome! F You Shane Greene! Shane Greene is awesome again! But usually less bipolar than that.
The funny thing with small samples is the timing. Sorta like how "impressions are everything" and that hooblah. Start a year awesome, everyone wants to marry you! Start the year terrible, and you get cut in the shower and sent to AAA (poor Scooter…).
I will admit the only Mike Bolsinger I had watched before this Pitcher Profile was a start last year for the Dbacks and he didn't look good. Impressions are everything! …I more or less wrote him off even with a decent start to 2015 with the Dodgers. Then he goes all Corey Kluber and 1-hits the Padres over 8 innings. So I decided to break down Bolsinger's fantastic start last Saturday, and see if there's really something here:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I get props at my mention 'cause I vex y'all. So Wada Wada want! He's so funny with the 88 MPH gas that he flaunt! Where'd you get your information from, huh? You think that Tsuyoshi can front a fantasy rotation when revelation comes? You can't front a fantasy rotation on that! Sweeter than that Jason Hammel guy with Ready Whip topping? Goin' from streamer to streamer kickin' it wall to wall! Well, I'll be calling out you people who draft a number one starter! It's wack when you're jacked, someone take Strasburg from me, he can't throw no harder! As you can bet I think I'm losing my league this time. This time I'm losing my league. So, Tsuyoshi Wada looked terrific yesterday in his first start of the year, if just not fully stretched out — 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 9 Ks. He was solid last year (7.4 K/9, 2.5 BB/9, 3.25 ERA in 69 1/3 IP). The Ks from yesterday likely won't be the norm, but he should be solid for most mixed leagues once he gets stretched out, which should be by next game. I'd definitely grab him, and you can't front on that! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Victor Martinez hit the DL. I told you he was overrated in the preseason, but rather than just say I told you so, let's tell you exactly what I told you, "Wah-wah. Sad trombone. 'Those aren't pillows!' Or whatever signal you want for a reversal from good to bad. That was what I heard when it was announced that Victor Martinez had a torn meniscus, which reminds me of a conversation I had when calculators were first introduced in 1961 and I had to abandon my loyalty to my other counting device, screaming, "I'm torn, abacus!" I got sad when Martinez was hurt, not because I wanted to draft him and now he had an injury. I was saddened because now I figured my ranking of him in the 110's wouldn't be as low as other 'perts. You know, they'd hear this news and lower him. Much to my surprise, I overestimated the rest of the 'pert world. They still have him ranked 75 overall on average. *scratches head* You know, head scratching really doesn't help one understand anything, which sounds like a line from C.J. Wilson's latest dandruff commercial. CBS has V-Mart ranked 15th overall. I'm not even joking. I wish I were. "Your final wish is granted." No, Genie in a Bottle, it's a figure of speech! Okay, it looks like CBS has changed his ranking slightly, that ranking was before the knee surgery. Stupid, wish-taking Genie! Martinez is still ranked way too high, and it has nothing to do with the surgery." And that's me quoting me! See, I told you I told you so. This will likely be a nice boost in playing time for Anthony Gose and Rajai Davis, the King of SAGNOF and his Golden Gose. Also, hitting the DL is Corey Dickerson with his plantar fasciitis, a garden variety injury. This helps Drew Stubbs see playing time, but takes him away from his BBQ sauce manufacturing. While the Rockies are home, I'd give Stubbs a shot. Martinez and Dickerson share something in injury; these aren't ailments that DL stints are going to fix. These will linger all year and I would sell low on both guys. Sorry to bum you out, unless Evan Gattis is reading. He can bum out all on his own. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Yesterday, Rubby de la Rosa threw 9 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners (0 BBs) and 5 Ks, a semiprecious stone of a game. (Maybe I didn't need to use a thesaurus for the word gem.) Rubby reminded me of Celine Dion and her baby. If I could hold Rubby to my ear, what would his future sound like? *paints Rubby on a seashell for makeshift future-telling device, puts seashell up to ear* I hear Johnny Gill saying, he will Rubby me the right way! That's amazing! But how can we be sure Johnny Gill isn't just saying that because no one has asked for his opinion on anything in 25 years? Wait, maybe we haven't heard from him because he's been living in a seashell all of these years. Rubby's K-rate is 8, his walk rate is 2 and, yes, they're even numbers, unless we're going to the 2nd decimal, and 2nd decimals are for nerds! Speaking of which, his xFIP is 3.43 and he's been a tad unlucky to have a 4.08 ERA. I don't see Rubby as a potential ace breakout candidate, but I own him in multiple leagues, and like him since he throws hard, has solid control, should get cushy matchups and could have a fantasy number three to four year. Now how do we get Johnny Gill out of this seashell?! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
I'm going to introduce you to a word: chalk. No, not the kind you used to write 'I will not depants Sally in front of the auditorium full of parents during the Winter Christmas Pageant' 100 times. I'm here to talk about the DFS slang borrowed from the betting world. Here, chalk means the favorite or best play of the day. For example, we all know to greet each other with 'Happy Harvey Day' in the comments, but do you really need me to tell you he's good? Do you need that to be my opening post to you? There's your chalk. He's one of the best pitchers in the league and on a very short slate, he literally jumps off the pitching page when you look at the mere 12 on there. With that said, let's not waste words on what we already know, let's talk about something unknown: The B-52's were actually a good band. Subjective, you say. Well, let's say it differently then: in the small world of New Wave, they held their own. Let's consider this New Wave Monday with that in mind and consider Harvey The Talking Heads while we decide to Rock Lobstein. I'm not going to talk up Kyle Lobstein too much. He in and of himself is just an average MLB pitcher, but here's what I will talk about: The Brewers. So far on the year, the team has a wRC+ of 55 against LHP, good for second to last in the league. Factor in the 26% K rate against southies, regulars Segura and Lucroy on the DL, not to mention Gomez being beaned in the head on Sunday and likely out himself…well, the stars couldn't align more for Kyle. Sometimes you don't have to be the best play of the day to be a good choice. So let's Rock Lobstein together and look on to what other hot takes I have on the Monday DK slate…

So after back to back weeks of discussing two of the more trendsetting genres in Hip-Hop and Grunge. I have gone off the reservation and devoted the tiers and peripheral discussion to one of my favorites groups of all-time, Philly hitmakers Daryl Hall and John Oates. In other words, I'm trying very hard to not exceed 12 comments. Hey, it's just like my weekday job on the soccer site! Then again maybe you too enjoy hitting the freeway with the top down in your Sebring convertible and the cool sounds of the dynamic duo pumping through your speakers. Good God, someone get me a peach flavored mystic. I'm going to need to hydrate for all the cougars who just swooned after reading that description. Not for nothing, but there is no better way to serenade a cougar then to pull up in a low power american convertible, top down, with Sara Smile on the stereo. I be collecting spanx for days kid. All I'm saying is watch your Mom around me, true player for real, ask my dog Smokey. Or you could ask your mom…. This is all nonsense and besides the point. We're here dearly beloved to discuss the double-dipping masters of blue eyed soul, mixed in with some two start pitchers right? Well bad news…the two start pitching options this week are sort of limited after the first 8 or so arms. Yay Mike Fiers! Seriously Fiers is so meta. Because I typically want to yell FIRE! upon glancing at my ratios after each of his starts.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Maybe I shamed the Marlins into caring about their bullpen. Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied. Why do we scream at Steve Cishek? This is what it sounds like, when fantasy baseballers cry! Damn, I'll never get sick of Prince. Well, except when I have to rely on him to hit homers from my 1st base slot. As they removed Cishek from the closer role, the Marlins said, "Shrek has done a tremendous job for us, but at the end of the day, it's about winning games." They call Cishek Shrek? Is that so the 12-year-old Yelich isn't scared to room with him? Holy cow, have you seen Cishek?! He looks like he could be Yelich's younger brother! Do the Marlins pay their prospects in Girl Scout cookies? Does the team bus have to wait an extra five minutes every day so they can finish their paper route? Are Yelich and Cishek extras from the off-Broadway adaption of Drake & Josh? I have questions, y'all! So, Cishek is not only out, but looks like a flaming Pu-Pu Platter. I'd grab A.J. Ramos immediately, stash Mike Dunn and Bryan Morris and would even look at Rafael Soriano, since the Marlins said they might sign him. Oh, and once Henderson Alvarez returns, there's speculation Tom Koehler could close. A Koehlser?! In other words, this shituation is a closerousel, so hold on for your life. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
OBPwulf opened to lukewarm reviews in the Grandal Opry in 2012. One critic said the country number performed by the girl in Daisy Dukes can only be described as "poon twang" to those sitting in the front rows. Another critic argued that a show dedicated to a catcher, who never topped 15 home runs and had a career .247 average, but was good at OBP, while being delivered in country music songs written in archaic Old English prose, would struggle to find an audience. And struggle it did. Until it moved to Los Angeles and got a cast change to Carrie Underwood and Craig Wayne Boyd. Now the story of OBPwulf is singing! Yesterday, Yasmani Grandal went 4-for-4, 3 runs, 8 RBIs with his 3rd and 4th homers, hitting .301. He's owned in 39% of ESPN leagues and the Dodgers go to Coors this weekend. I didn't put Grandal in this afternoon's Buy column, because he's here now. You don't need things repeated. You don't need things repeated. You don't need things repeated. Sorry, I'm typing this in a cave. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?
It seems loud and clear that the roof is closing on Adam Wainwright's season. If only he had a 3rd Achilles he could sub in! We should be able to have a schadenfreude party since I told everyone not to draft him this year, but there's always a few people who still draft him against my wishes, so do we ignore these people and still schadenfreude or do we show pity? *thinks for a millisecond* We schadenfreude party! The schadenfreude party is being held in the superiority complex. Put up the pinata of someone's ego that is smarter, prettier, funnier or richer and we beat it down! Put on some tunes and let's do the Point and Laugh Dance! That's not the Point and Laugh Dance, that's the African Anteater Ritual. So, Wainwright's done for 2015 and Carlos Villanueva, Tyler Lyons or Tim Cooney could step in at first, but this will likely be Marco Gonzales's job for the majority of the year once he returns from the minor league DL with a shoulder issue. I like Gonzales for very deep leagues, especially NL-Only ones, so if you have room, I'd grab him. He's around a 7+ K/9, low-2 BB/9 guy that could have a 3.75 ERA or under with a good WHIP. Now, you'll have to excuse me, I'm headed back to the schadenfreude party, hungry for self-satisfaction, eager for some prigs in a blanket! Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Vie in Paint by FransMensinkArtistWatch
©2014-2015 FransMensinkArtistMature Content
A couple of shots in the last photo shoot with the stunning Vie were too blurry yet interesting, so I used one in a painting already because I couldn't just discard it. More may follow.
I love that nonchalant strap.
Beautiful, delicate pose
I love her hair and outfit. <3 Good work!
awesome keep it up
A stunning woman painted in a very sexy way
Gorgeus, as always!!!
That's beautiful
Exquisite, the perfect balance of softness and sleekness, utterly brilliant work on her negligee, masterful color palette.
Did you do something different? I don't know the technical aspects of digital art, or real art for that matter, but this seems a bit flat to me. Most of you other work seems to pop. This seems two dimensional. Maybe it's the skin tones? I don't know.
So very sensual; personal.
...no problem...
I really like this, great job!
Dionne is beautiful
Man, she's hot, even in a portrait
Turned out great And she is a pretty lady indeed.
Lovely models make lovely paintings
I love it, her face is flawless and hips/legs are perfect. Bust is just right.
Awesome work!

SALT LAKE CITY — The LDS Church has announced plans to restore a historic site in northeastern Pennsylvania, with ties to its founding prophet, Joseph Smith, its claim to priesthood authority and two volumes of its scriptural texts.
In an April 15 letter to LDS stake and ward leaders, the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced the project under the title of the "Priesthood Restoration Site," with the 90-acre site in Oakland Township (formerly the town of Harmony) near the present-day town of Susquehanna.
The project will include the restoration of historic buildings and farm settings at Harmony as well as the construction of commemorational monuments. It will join the church's existing two dozen historical sites across the United States and is expected to be similar to LDS historical sites in Palmyra, N.Y; Kirkland, Ohio; and Nauvoo, Illinois that highlight a similar period of early Mormon history.
It is in Harmony where Joseph Smith lived several years with his wife, Emma, and where, according to LDS teachings, that much of the Book of Mormon was translated, where 15 sections or revelations of the Doctrine and Covenants were received and where Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery received priesthood ordinations from heavenly messengers.
"The site is sacred ground for Latter-day Saints," said church historian and record Elder Marlin K. Jensen, a member of the church's First Quorum of the Seventy. "Our hope is that by restoring the historic buildings and making the area more accessible, visitors of all faiths will be able to enjoy the beauty of the site and learn more about the restoration of the priesthood and the translation of the Book of Mormon."
Joseph and Emma Smith moved to Harmony in 1827, staying first with her parents — Isaac and Elizabeth Hale — until purchasing a nearby home and 13 1/2 acres from Emma's brother Jesse for $200. They lived in the area until 1830 — the same year the LDS Church was formerly organized. The Smith home burned down in 1919.
Oliver Cowdery, a school teacher, soon arrived after the Smiths and served as a scribe in the translation of the Book of Mormon. The LDS Church teaches that in response to their prayers about scriptural teachings of baptism, John the Baptist came to them on as a resurrected personage, conferred the Aaronic Priesthood on them that day (May 15, 1829) and commanded them to baptize each other in the nearby Susquehanna River.
Latter-day Saints also believe the ancient apostles Peter, James and John similarly appeared to the pair some days later in a nearby area and gave them the authority of the Melchizedek Priesthood, which Latter-day Saints consider a higher priesthood.
The site location for the Priesthood Restoration Site currently features a sculpture depicting Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery receiving the Aaronic Priesthood from John the Baptist, a sugar maple grove and a cemetery where the Q&ASmith's infant son Alvin is buried as well as the Hales.
In January of this year, the LDS Church completed the purchase of a 10-acre parcel of property in Oakland Township.
Located on Route 171, the parcel contained an auto salvage, garage, junkyard and used-parts facility. The Scranton, Pa., Times-Tribune reported the purchase price at $2.1 million.
The parcel was adjacent to 147 acres owned by the church, its most-recent previous addition coming in 2005.
Erected five decades ago, a large bronze historic marker located between Route 171 and the Susquehanna River acknowledges the church's historic events of the area, the location of the former Smith home and the proximity of the river.
Church historians have recently completed several archeological digs in the project location, uncovering key information and artifacts they say will be helpful with the restoration project.
The project is still in the design phase, and the church didn't provide any architectural renderings with its announcement. An aerial photo of the project site was available at the church's newsroom.lds.org website.
Also, the church's First Presidency is inviting interested Latter-day Saints to make small, one-time contributions to the restoration project. They can specify "Priesthood Restoration Site" on church-donation slips available from local LDS bishops and branch presidents.

Comments about Mens Inov-8 FastLift 335 Cross Training Shoe:
This shoe has a very stable platform for lifting. Not squishy like most crosstrainers - there's not much padding so I wouldn't recommended running or high imapct workouts in these. But for squats, deadlifts,etc. they're great. They keep your foot and heel stable, no slidding or pronating, and they look pretty good too.I wear a US 14 and these fit spot on.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Damascus HELP Inc. food pantry receives about 500 cans of corn each month.
But with the number of families in need increasing, two weeks ago, that supply was exhausted.
Doug Noble, food chairman of Damascus HELP Inc., said at that time food levels were at one of the lowest points in his 20 years working at the pantry.
�I have never seen the corn that bare,� he said.
Damascus HELP provides assistance to needy families in the upper portion of Montgomery County and adjacent areas. Noble said the pantry serves between 70 and 90 families each month — or about 250 people — which is more than double the average from two years ago. But, in recent months the amount of food from donations has not kept up with the demand.
�People think about hungry people around the holidays, but we have that number of families all year round,� he said. �The need is always there.�
Noble said the nonprofit gets about 2,400 pounds of food a month.
Without a donation from an area church and items from a food drive hosted by Jimmie Cone a few weeks ago, Noble said the pantry might not have been able to keep up with the demand this month.
�[Two weeks] ago we were pretty darn bare,� Noble said.
Noble attributes the increase in need to a still unstable economy and increased development in the Damascus area.
�It�s the development and people buying houses that they can�t afford. ... All those Clarksburg houses belong to us, and all those new houses [in Clarksburg will] belong to us, too,� he said. �A lot of people are living paycheck to paycheck.�
�Damascus is growing, there�s more and more people coming in [that need help],� said Elaine Dean, director of Mount Airy NET, a network of churches and civic organizations that provide support and services for those in need.
In addition to food, the Damascus nonprofit also gives financial assistance and provides transportation to those who need it. Last year, 65 percent of Damascus HELP�s expenses — which total $61,017 — went to paying utility bills for those in the area.
�We have a lot of people that are low income that live in the area, and other living expenses [in Montgomery County] are so high,� said Rita Noble, Damascus HELP general chairwoman.
Dean said right now the Mount Airy pantry has a good supply of food for the roughly 70 families they serve each month, but she isn�t sure how long that will last.
�Our needs are ongoing, but we never know what�s going to come in from one day to the next ... We just don�t know what�s going to happen,� she said. �We haven�t had a great need ... [but] there are consistently the same families coming in.�
At its peak, Dean said the Mount Airy pantry has served about 90 families in a month.
Currently, the Mount Airy nonprofit is seeking families who need assistance during the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Last year, the group was able to supply Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner to about 80 area families.
�I�m not sure what [the food supply is] going to be like when we get closer to Christmas,� Dean said.
In addition to the increased need, the number of members in the families has also gone up, Noble said. Between four and five families have been served daily by the Damascus pantry in recent months — some with as many as six members.
The pantry gives each family a three-day supply of emergency food provisions — about a shopping cart full — for a family of four. If the families have more than four members they receive double the amount of food. An average of 10 families with more than five people have been asking for assistance in recent months, Noble said.
�With six or seven people in each family, I can empty these shelves very fast,� he said. �[I think] some families are moving into each other�s homes because they can�t afford to live alone anymore.�

The invention relates to a self-contained bollard device of variable height for dispensing electricity supplies or various fluids, the device comprising vertically movable equipment, supporting a bollard, which contains a co-axial rotary shutter. Rotation of the shutter, which is controlled by a lock with pins, presents a dispensing surface to the user or closes the window of the bollard. A single wrench-type key controls holding of the bollard in the raised or lowered positions, and also rotation of the shutter, by means of two identical locks. The bollard includes safety devices, in particular to interrupt the electricity supply when the shutter starts to rotate or the bollard starts to descend, and also in the event of a shock. The field of the invention is that of street furniture, and in particular for equipping places open to the public, such as marketplaces, camping sites, quays or piers, and service stations.
1. A self-contained bollard device of variable height for dispensing commodities, the device comprising a vertically movable bollard inserted in a housing; an actuator which vertically moves said bollard; a ratchet mechanism using a holding system for holding the bollard in the raised and lowered positions; wherein the bollard contains a rotary shutter which covers a window in the bollard when the bollard is not in use to dispense commodities, or presents a dispensing surface which carries sockets for dispensing commodities when the bollard is in use to dispense commodities.
2. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein rotation of the shutter is independent of whether the bollard is in the raised or the lowered position, use of the sockets being prevented by the window being covered when the bollard is in the raised position.
3. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the shutter comprises a semi-cylindrical portion 13b associated with a technical dispensing surface 13a of V-shaped cross-section, carrying means for securing the sockets 15.
4. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the rotary shutter is operated by a cylindrical lock 32, with pins 36, controlled by a hexagonal housing wrench-type key 40, said key also controlling a lock 30 of the system for holding the bollard against vertical movement.
5. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the bollard is closed at its lower portion by a base 22 which is fitted and screwed onto the bollard, the base comprising screw threads 8a which receive the screws 8 for securing the bollard onto the plate 5a of the carriage 5, and being provided with a vertical tube 24 housing the gas spring 9, said tube 24 also providing guiding and support for the rotary shutter.
6. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the lock 32 of the shutter is secured by its base 32c to the spindle 13e of the shutter and to the cap 3b of the bollard, insertion of the key 40 pushing the pins down to allow the cylinders 32a and 32c secured to the shutter to rotate, the central cylinder 32b remaining immobilized against rotation.
7. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the bollard comprises a fixed circular cap 3b, of larger diameter than the body, the underside of which receives an O-ring 20, which in the retracted position is compressed against the flat top surface of the cover 6, due to the clearance J formed between the carriage 5 and the dampers 11 in the lowered position, this ensuring sealing of the housing 2.
8. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein rotation of the shutter, in the window-covering direction, interrupts the supply of electricity before the bollard descends.
9. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein, regardless of whether the window is closed or open, pushing down of the bollard causes the supply of electricity to be interrupted upstream.
10. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the bollard includes an inertia-type shock detection device, interrupting the electricity supply upstream from the bollard.
11. A self-contained dispensing bollard device of variable height, according to claim 1, wherein the bollard is secured to the plate 5a of the carriage 5 by means of screws made of an aluminium alloy, the traction/shear strength of the screws being determined by calculation, so that they break under the shock of a vehicle of predetermined mass and speed, the bollard being retained by a flexible strap or cable.
The field of the invention is that of street furniture.
The present invention provides a multifunction, self-contained, dispensing bollard device, the height of which can be varied by vertical translational movement, said bollard also incorporating technical equipment such as electricity supply sockets or plugs, or low electricity connectors, or connecting devices for various fluids. By virtue of its vertical movement, said self-contained bollard may also serve, when in its raised position, to prevent motor vehicles gaining access to certain areas and to allow access after it has been released and retracted fully into the ground.
Self-contained bollards of variable height already exist, in particular those described in French patent application No. 8717193 and in European patent application No. 90/430022.5 of Nov. 7, 1990, in the names of G. Clapier, Y. Ariandais, J-M. Alamelle and J. M. Belaval.
In those patents, the self-contained bollards of variable height are located on vehicle car parks, or on public or private roads, in order to reserve space, prevent or control access, and more generally to ensure security for users or to protect premises. The design of those bollards allows great versatility and good security for users, since in the event of a violent shock of predetermined intensity, the bollard can separate from its support, avoiding severe physical injury, as described and claimed in the cited patents.
Those same devices, which use gas springs for vertical translation, which are held in the raised and lowered positions, which are locked by a socket wrench, which have guides for the moving equipment, and which include a housing sunk into the ground and having a cover, are applicable to the multifunction technical bollards constituting the subject matter of the present invention.
A first object of the invention is therefore to provide a device which allows electrical power or various fluids to be dispersed to users located in public places or places open to the public, such as marketplaces, fairs, squares, pedestrian precincts, sports grounds, camping and caravan sites, quays or piers at marinas, airports, factory yards or service stations.
Advantageously, the self-contained dispensing bollard of the invention is retractable below ground level when its use is not required, and its mechanical strength allows any motor vehicle to pass over it when in the retracted position.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device which can deny access to the sockets or plugs--referred to as "sockets" in the following description--without requiring the bollard to be retracted. It may be useful overnight to prevent use of the sockets whilst still maintaining an obstacle which prevents intrusion onto the location concerned. Advantageously, the dispensing bollard has a window which gives access to the sockets; said window may be covered by a semi-cylindrical rotary blind, called a shutter, whose axis of rotation is the axis of the bollard itself, the shutter being operated by an authorized official using a socket wrench-type key which is inserted into a lock situated on the top surface of the body of the bollard. Advantageously, said lock, or bolt, is operated with the same socket wrench that co-operates with the lock of the device which holds the moving equipment of the bollard in the raised position or the lowered position, as described in the above-cited European patent.
Another object of the invention is to ensure the safety of the user: the rotary shutter is contained entirely within the volume of the generally cylindrical bollard, there is no risk of incorrect operation, such as a badly-closed socket shutter being torn off while the bollard is being retracted. Moreover, the functions of closing the rotary shutter and of retracting the bollard may be linked to one another or they may be independent; thus, the bollard may be retracted regardless of whether the shutter is open or closed, or if necessary the shutter may be compulsorily closed, depending on the nature of the fluids dispensed and on the related safety regulations to be complied with. The sockets are entirely contained within the cylinder of the bollard and are therefore protected against traffic collisions.
Advantageously, the bollard includes a circular cap of larger diameter than the retractable bollard. The housing for the bollard, which is sunk into the ground, and the cover are similar to those described in the cited patents. The underside of the cap carries in its rim a resilient O-ring seal which co-operates with a flat surface of the cover of the housing. Good sealing against water and dust is thereby obtained in the lowered position, particularly when public places are being cleaned by municipal employees.
The standard bollard housing, such as described in the cited patents, is sufficiently large to allow admission of the chosen fluid, for example an electric cable, with a known device for deploying the cable when the bollard is moved vertically.
Since the self-contained dispensing bollards of the invention and the access-denying bollards of the two cited patents all use the same components and are similar in appearance, they can easily be associated with one another on the same site. Thus, a marketplace may be equipped with fixed bollards, self-contained bollards of variable height that are operated semi-automatically or automatically to control access, and multi-function dispensing bollards.
Advantageously, a dispensing bollard will be provided with an inertia device of known type, such as a mercury switch or a flyweight switch, that interrupts the electrical supply upstream from the bollard in the event of impact on the bollard, whether accidental or through vandalism; and/or an upstream electricity interruption device may be provided when the bollard is partly retracted, in addition to protection being provided individually for the sockets by differential circuit-breakers.
The present invention is shown in the drawings of an embodiment given by way of non-limiting example and in which:
FIG. 1 is a vertical section through a complete self-contained dispensing bollard of variable height in accordance with the invention and in the raised position, with a fragmentary view on the right in the lowered position,
FIG. 2 is a vertical section through the bollard itself,
FIG. 3 is a partial view from above of the bollard and of the rotary shutter,
FIG. 4 shows the lock in perspective together with its wrench-type key, such as described in the cited European patent, and
FIG. 5 shows in perspective a rotary shutter suitable for receiving electrical sockets.
A self-contained dispensing bollard of variable height is shown in FIG. 1, and comprises moving equipment 1 which can be displaced in the direction of arrows F and F', within a housing 2 sunk below ground level G and advantageously of square cross-section. The moving equipment is made up of a carriage 5, supporting a bollard 3, the carriage being guided on slides such as 7 co-operating with vertical guide rails 4. The carriage 5 has a horizontal plate 5a on which the dispensing bollard 3 is itself secured by means of screws 8 of predetermined shear/traction strength. The housing 2 is closed at road level G by a standard cover 6, preferably of cast aluminium, and pierced by a circular bore through which the bollard can pass. The moving equipment 1, carriage and bollard, can be raised by means of an actuator or a gas spring 9, descent being instigated merely by the operator applying pressure with the foot on the top of the cap 3b of the bollard 3. In the retracted position, at the bottom right of FIG. 1, the carriage 5 is substantially in contact with the bottom cross-member 10 which receives the actuator 9 and is provided with resilient damping pads 11. Holding in both the raised position and the lowered position is ensured by a ratchet mechanism, by means of a holding system 31 which co-operates with the plate 5a in the two extreme positions of the moving equipment. A hexagonal housing wrench-type key 40, inserted in the cylindrical lock 30, pushes back pins such as 36, FIG. 4, rotating the control spindle of the rocker 37 which co-operates with two levers, at the left of FIG. 1. Each lever acts as a ratchet on the plate 5a, only one of the levers at a time being in the holding position. The ratchet action in the raised position is shown at the left of FIG. 1, as described in the cited patent.
The dispensing bollard itself comprises a bollard body 3, FIGS. 2, 3, 4, advantageously of circular or polygonal cross-section. The body carries an integral circular cap 3b, of slightly larger diameter than the body. An O-ring 20 of small cross-section is received in a groove 3c on the underside of the rim. The body 3 is pierced by a window 3a, advantageously rectangular, extending over less than half of the perimeter of the bollard, FIG. 3. Inside the body there is a cooperating shutter 13, a portion 13b of which is semi-cylindrical and coaxial, rotation of the shutter either covering the window 3a or presenting a technical dispensing surface 13a to the user, for example comprising holes 14 for securing and receiving sockets such as 15.
Advantageously, the technical dispensing surface 13a has a V-shaped cross-section, FIGS. 3 and 5. The shutter 13 comprises a horizontal diaphragm 13c, which forms a gap V between itself and the surface 13a, FIG. 3. The underside of said diaphragm carries a rotary spindle 13d which extends as spindle 13e situated at the top and fitting inside the lock 32, which is identical to the lock 30 of the housing as previously mentioned. The cylindrical bollard 3 is closed at its lower portion by a horizontal base 22, comprising the closure disk 22a which is secured to the bollard 3 by horizontal screws 23 and which includes the two internal screw threads 8a which receive the screws 8 for securing the bollard on the plate. A vertical machined tube 24 is welded to the base 22, the tube carrying a web 24a below the window to form a blind bore. The tube 24 houses the gas spring device 9, FIG. 1. Said tube also ensures guiding and support of the rotary shutter. To this end, it is provided with rings such as 25 that are a sliding fit, the spindle 13d turning freely in said rings, the diaphragm 13c resting on the upper ring, FIG. 2.
The lock 32 which operates the shutter is located in a bore 3f in the cap. It is fitted onto the spindle 13e of the rotary shutter and held by screws such as 34, FIG. 4. The pin 35 of the lock is engaged in the slot of the bore 3f in the cap. As described in the cited European patent, the lock 32 comprises pins 36 which are differentially pushed down by the hexagonal housing wrench-type key 40 which has corresponding slots, so as to allow the portions 32a and 32c to rotate. The lock 32, which is identical to lock 30, FIG. 4, therefore comprises three concentric cylindrical portions of equal diameter, about 30 mm for example. The top portion 32a can turn in the direction of arrow S when the wrench is inserted downwards, in the direction of arrow K. The central portion 32b is prevented from rotating, and is therefore fixed F, by the pin 35 secured to the cap. The third bottom portion 32c which is secured to the shutter 13 via spindle 13a is caused to rotate in the direction of arrow R by the top portion 32a when the wrench is inserted and turned, this direction being identical to S.
The dispensing bollard may receive any kind of electrical equipment, such as sockets 15.
Operation is as follows, the bollard being initially in the retracted position in the ground:
the O-ring 20 is compressed, small clearance J existing between 5 and 11. In one example, the electricity supply is interrupted at the bollard by any known means.
the operator inserts the key 40 into the bollard lock 30, FIG. 1, situated in the cover 6, and turns the key.
the bollard then rises up under the action of the actuator 9 and automatically ratchets in the raised position (see left of FIG. 1).
the operator takes out the key and inserts it into the lock 32, then turns it in the direction of arrow S; the shutter then pivots and presents its dispensing surface 13a in the window 3a. In this position, the safety devices are de-activated and the electricity supply, for example, is established.
the reverse operation is obvious, the electricity supply for example being interrupted at the start of the reverse rotation movement of the shutter; subsequently, the key 40, engaged in the lock 30, ensures that the holding system 31 is released by a rocking action. Merely by applying pressure on the bollard by means of a foot, the bollard is caused to descend and it is held in its lowered position.
The bollard is secured to the plate 5a by means of two screws 8, made of a special aluminium alloy and having a calculated diameter. Advantageously, alloys with a strength lying between that of the A-GS alloy and the 7075 THR alloy can be used. The known calculation methods for "impact of a moving vehicle on a fixed object" are applicable to the device of the invention. Experiment confirms the results of the calculation. Under the effect of a predetermined shock, the bollard resists, but in the event of a very violent impact, of predetermined magnitude, the screws, which are working in traction/shear, break; the bollard leans over and detaches itself without being thrown into the air, since it is retained by a strap or cable, not shown; the electricity supply is interrupted by a shock detector. Physical injuries are therefore reduced.

Bragi Schut and David Arata -- who co-wrote Alfonso Cuaron's "Children of Men" -- penned the script.
CANNES -- Mark Damon's Foresight Unlimited has announced an ambitious new sci-fi epic about the loss of gravity in various regions around the globe. However, Inversion has yet to nail down a director or a cast.
Bragi Schut and David Arata -- who co-wrote Children of Men, directed by Gravity filmmaker Alfonso Cuaron -- authored the script.
PHOTOS: Stars and Their Sunglasses at Cannes
Damon, CEO of Foresight, and Foresight president Tamara Birkemoe are preselling Inversion at the Cannes Film Market, and say they have struck distribution deals in Spain, Russia, Benelux, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, South Africa, Philippines and the Middle East, Turkey, India and Thailand. However, many buyers may wait for talent details before investing in the big-budget project.
Damon said Inversion will be will be released by a major Hollywood studio in the U.S., but wouldn't reveal whether it is Warner Bros. (home of Gravity), Paramount, Fox, Universal, Sony or Disney.

Philip Lee (Cloud Atlas), Michael Nozik (Syriana) and Markus Barmettler (Conviction) are producing the movie, and are in active talks with a director, Damon said. Hong Kong's Pegasus Motion Pictures is among the project's equity investors.
"We are thrilled with the sales that Mark Damon and his Foresight Unlimited team have done," Nozik said. "The market's response has been so strong, it confirms this film is an original and incredibly fresh story that asks, what if gravity, the most taken for granted and least understood part of nature, betrayed us."

As you see can from my previous comment I miscarried in November 2012 after having my Paragaurd IUD removed. I did try again and I am appy to say that I gave birth to a healthy baby girl on 12/2/12. Just Paraguard does not contain hormones and I have gotten another Paragaurd IUD insert.posted 01/31/2013 by MiszDria
Hi there I am very very confused I had the copper iud removed 9 jan 2013 taken three pregnancy tests negative I still have had no period my last period was 26 dec 2012 I have had period cramping for 2 weeks sore breast for 2 weeks I am ver confused as I thought the copper iud has no hormones so it doesn't interfere with you're cycles any help please xposted 01/31/2013 by Gemmaelzabeth
Helo Huuhwhat! Just wanted to know what happerned with your period after you posted your question. I had paragard removed and had my period right on time at 28 days but after that I missed my next one. At 10 days late my Dr put me on Medroxyprogesterone (which helps you get your period) for 10 day but I only took it for 6 because I got my period on the fifth pill. I'm just on my 3rd day got my period and really hope I get regular because I really want to ave another baby. I hope it does not take me long to conceive :( I blame paragard because one of the side effects of paragard are infertility. I hope everything went well with you and best of luck!!!posted 10/11/2010 by yraquel
I had my IUD taken out while I had my period and then I got my period the next month right on time. I then became pregnant but I miscarried at 6 weeks. Dr said it could be because my uterus wasn't completely ready because the IUD thins out your uterine walls. But I do plan to try again.posted 12/09/2011 by MiszDria
I got mine taken out July 23, 2012. My period came on time August 13,2012. This was the first time in 7 years I had a normal 1 week period. My period with paragarg lasted for 10 or more days. The cramping on my cycle was extreme along with heavy bleeding.But after 4 days it let up and my period ended day 7. I was told to wait a month before trying to conceive and wait for a normal period. So I did...so wish us luck. We are TTC baby #2 and DD is 7.2 years old!posted 08/19/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Hey there, I just had mine removed mid cycle 12/15/11, spotted for a couple of days, and now it's the 29th, period was due the 28th, and all I'm doing is spotting with teeny cramping and still a little breast tenderness. Took test on the 28th, normally I spot a day early (so should have spotted on the 27th and did not) but it came out negative. Not sure what the heck to think. Going to wait a couple more days and see what happens. Another complicator into the situation is I was fertile the day I had it removed and we had *ahem* 3 days prior. So not sure if the test wasn't sensitive enough or what. I hate waiting. lolposted 12/29/2011 by Mel1979
yraquel - After having the ultrasound I was diagnosed with PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) - turns out the cause of the PCOS is insulin resistance. I went on a Diabetic diet and have had normal periods and ovulation since. I hope that helps :)posted 10/14/2010 by HuuhWhat
I had a heavy cyle Sept 25 2010 the week before my Paraguard was removed! But my husband and I been havin intercourse, but I am going on a week late of my period. Taken a prego test negative! Is this normal that your cycle doesnt come the next month after removal???posted 09/28/2010 by sweet_chick_03_04
Had the Ultrasound - turns out my lack of periods is due to PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome). According to the dr - the period should have started almost immediately after the removal of the IUD. Cr says the IUD is NOT the cause of the PCOS. Will head to an endocrinologist to determine what caused the PCOS.posted 07/12/2010 by HuuhWhat
My period has been really different since I got my IUD (ParaGard) removed 2 months ago. I wish I knew what was going on.posted 07/11/2010 by MOMMA cbd

Cox to issue layoff notices to 240 Oklahoma City workers
Cox has given its Oklahoma City employees an option to move to Cox call centers in other states to keep their jobs, and is offering employees up to $15,000 in relocation assistance, Martin said.
The Atlanta-based phone, Internet and cable TV provider told The Oklahoman last week that it would move technical support jobs out of state to one of seven Cox Centers of Excellence around the country.
Oklahoma City will become a center of Cox sales-related positions and the company plans to add about 300 sales positions to Oklahoma as part of the shift. The company is shifting to consolidate services at specialized call centers to reduce call wait times and improve customer services overall, Martin said.
Cox has about 2,000 employees in Oklahoma.

All sectors of the GMAT covered
I have taught 10+ GMAT and GRE students and focus on both Math (Data Sufficiency and Quantitative) as well as English/Verbal.
Using my broad teaching expertise and coursework in mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry) English (reading, writing, grammar) I have helped prospective MBA students get the scores they need to gain acceptance to their top school choices.
Let me show you how successful you can be!
During the past several years, I have successfully helped many students raise scores substantially on "standardized" tests, including the GMAT.
In addition to over 30 years of college teaching (math, physics, and computer science) and my writing experience as an author and editor, I was also trained and certified by both leading "test-prep" companies (TPR and Kaplan) to teach and tutor their strategies and techniques for improving scores on so-called "standardized" tests.
I did well on the ACT and SAT and have tutored the GMAT before. Preparation for these tests requires not only knowledge of the subject matter but test-taking strategies such as time management.
I have been teaching the GMAT exam for admission into MBA programs for over 4 years, working for companies such as Next Step Test Prep, Catalyst Prep, and Kaplan Inc.
My teaching goals with the GMAT are a minimum improvement of at least 75 points given a time frame of at least 2 months. I am able to guarantee this type of improvement in any student, as this is what I have consistently produced for people with whom I have worked over the years.
My teaching style is to keep the material as exciting and vibrant as possible! Learning should not be a dry and dull experience, it should be highly interesting and involving. There are many aspects of the GMAT that once properly learned can become problem-solving strategies in real-life applications as well!
Our online tools make booking, managing your schedule and paying for lessons easy and hassle-free.
Easily search and compare teachers in your area, including past student reviews and background checks.
If you're not completely satisfied, we'll help you find a new teacher or refund any unused lesson credits.
Featured on
As more and more people pursue advanced degrees, a bachelor's degree from a four-year college may only be worth what a high school diploma was in the past. Many jobs now require an advanced degree and, regardless of the path you choose, you'll still need to take the GMAT to get into a good graduate school.
The GMAT. or Graduate Management Admission Test, contains an Analytical Writing Section, a Quantitative Section, and a Verbal Section, and if you're not familiar with the exam's structure, you can find yourself easily challenged and often frustrated. While you can attempt to take the exam without GMAT prep tutoring by employing books, pre-tests and educational materials you find online, you may still find yourself struggling to master the skills necessary to tackle the test. This is where the benefits of a TakeLessons tutor come in.
Still not convinced that GMAT prep tutoring is for you? Check out these amazing benefits:
• Customized lessons to ensure you're getting exactly the guidance you need.
• Safe, friendly, qualified tutors who have completed an extensive hiring process, including education, reference and background checks.
• The flexibility of lessons in your home, online, or in a convenient location like a library or coffee shop.

Dr. Johnson famously remarked of a dog's ability to stand on its hind legs, that it was not done well, but he was surprised to find it done at all. I thought of that while I was watching "The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert," which stars Terence Stamp in drag. The macho British actor, best-known for "Billy Budd" and the villain in "Superman II," plays an aging transsexual named Bernadette, and it is done well, yet one is still surprised to find it done at all.
The movie opens in Sydney, Australia, where Bernadette is well-known in gay circles. Bernadette's partners in a flamboyant drag act are Tick, also known as Mitzi (Hugo Weaving), and Adam, aka Felicia (Guy Pearce). The act involves lip-synching to recordings while performing a vaguely choreographed stage show and wearing tacky gowns, a great many feather boas and a lot of eye shadow. Bernadette, who is clearly an intelligent person, is getting fairly tired of it all.
Sydney is also getting tired of Bernadette, and so when an invitation comes for a gig in the backwater town of Alice Springs, the three friends jump at it. Mitzi's former wife, now running a gambling casino, needs an act in a hurry. That sets up the introduction of Priscilla, which is the name of the recycled school bus which doubles as their dressing room and living quarters.
And off they go into the outback, with Priscilla painted a bright lavender.
I happened to see "Easy Rider" (1969) again at about the same time I saw "Priscilla," and it occurred to me that the structures were similar: The nonconformist heroes, whether hippies or drag queens, were taking a dangerous chance by making a road trip into reactionary territory. If you think Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Jack Nicholson made a juicy target in the redneck south with their choppers and long hair, imagine how warmly Bernadette, Mitzi and Felicia are welcomed in the outback.
The film settles into the rhythms of many road pictures, with lots of drive-by scenery, soul-searching talks during camp-outs on the road, and dicey encounters with the locals. There's a drinking contest with a lesbian who thinks she's more of a man than the queens. The lavender bus attracts some nasty anti-gay graffiti.
Bernadette looks more and more weary of this life. (It must not be easy in the best of times to live and travel in a school bus with two drag queens, and middle age takes its toll: Was this trip necessary?) At about the time when the possibilities of life on the road are exhausted, Priscilla arrives in Alice Springs, where Mitzi's ex-wife (Sarah Chadwick) seems fairly serene about the new life her former husband has chosen.
Mitzi's son also seems cool about the gender-blender situation, and the trio's lounge act goes over better in Alice than in the big city. Then there's a subplot about an auto mechanic whose own wife is a stripper so loony she makes Bernadette look good, and not only by comparison.
I guess the scenes of homophobic hostility in the movie are obligatory, but the writer-director, Stephan Elliott, doesn't seem to have his heart in them, and I wonder if he would have been happy to make the whole story as lighthearted as his best scenes. It's too bad that the requirements of plotting require movies like this to crank up the event count, when actually what works is just the daily minutiae of Bernadette's life. At the beginning of the film we're distracted by the unexpected sight of Terence Stamp in drag, but Stamp is able to bring a convincing humanity to the character, and eventually we realize that the real subject of the movie is not homosexuality, not drag queens, not showbiz, but simply the life of a middle-aged person trapped in a job that has become tiresome.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. It was not a good week for Oshiomogho Atogwe or for DeAngelo Hall.Atogwe played about a dozen snaps against the Patriots after it was learned that DeJon Gomes and Reid Doughty would start at safety for the rest of the season it looked like he would spend the last three games on the bench.Hall was under fire for watching as Gomes and Doughty struggled to bring down the Patriots Rob Gronkowski. The big tight end got away for a big play. Later in the game, Hall compounded committing defensive holding by throwing the flag again, costing his team another 15 yards.
Atogwe spoke to the media during the week with brave optimism. Hall chose not to talk. Their play and the results on the scoreboard spoke volumes for both players on Sunday during the Redskins surprising and dominant 23-10 win over the Giants.Each of them got an interception on a good, athletic play. Atogwes came in the second quarter with the Redskins holding a 10-0 lead. London Fletcher deflected Eli Mannings long pass and Atogwe made a diving interception, cradling the ball under him and then bouncing up running. He returned it 26 yards to the New York 41.I knew I had it the entire time, there was no doubt in my mind, Atogwe said. D. Hall helped me get up and he led the way.Nine plays later Darrel Young powered six yards up the middle for a touchdown and a 17-0 Redskins lead.Hall got his turn early in the third quarter with the Giants looking to make a game of it trailing 17-3. Manning went deep for Hakeem Nicks and Hall snared the pass at the Redskins 40.The guy ran a post corner and I felt like the ball was a little late, said Hall. I heard some guys on our sideline hollering ball so I turned around and was able to get my hands on it.Hall returned it to the Giants 34, setting up a Graham Gano field goal.The Redskins got a third interception early in the fourth quarter when Josh Wilson picked off Mannings pass in the corner of the end zone to spike New Yorks last serious chance of pulling off a late comeback.On Saturday, Atogwe talked to Shanahan and defensive coordinator Jim Haslett and assured them that he was feeling healthy. According to Shanahan, Atogwe has been bothered by injuries to his hamstring, knee, toe, and ankle at various times this year. Shanahan and Haslett decided to give Atogwe some more reps during the game. Gomes started the game but Atogwe went in after a few series and stayed in for most of the rest of the game.Of Hall rebounding from the barrage of criticism, Shanahan said, Youve got to look at yourself and say, hey, Ive got to play at a higher level and I think thats what he did today.You have to look at yourself and say Im going to be accountable. A lot of players played like that today.

The Secret World - The Secret War Trailer
This trailer breaks down the secret war in The Secret World.
by Mike Tao on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
Huh... yeah... moving on
pro illuminad game?
Don't hate me for this, but doesn't this just sound like the plot of a generic anime? lol
wow after so many years of development looks well... not what i expected totally agree with you DecadesOfGaming. :(
After watching this trailer, I've come to the conclusion that this game brings nothing new to the table
Yea this does look really interesting and the concept behind the game look really cool but the combat dosent look that amazing but hey wow's combat dosent really look that good either
Sees pretty awesome but i am already given to SWTOR...If it's free of subscription i will definitely give this a shot!
3 faction pvp? Now that's something not common in today's MMO's. Last I saw that did such a thing was Planetside.
this has potential but it also could easily become a failure
I'm continually impressed by the monster models in this game but the combat looks pretty uninspired. It's gonna take something big to sway me from Guild Wars 2, especially with this being pay to play.
