ESPN's Emmy Award winning show Outside the Lines today ended with the poll question, "Should the NBA allow the Sonics to move to Oklahoma City?" I thought, no way there's more than five percent in favor of the NBA moving the Sonics to OKC. So I waited until the end of the show to find out the results.
Turns out, more than 57 percent of those polled voted yes, saying the NBA should allow the move. Talk about a shocker. I didn't see the total number of votes below the results. I don't think OTL showed how many had voted. But it was definitely interesting to see that large a percentage being in favor of the move.
I searched for the link to the OTL poll and couldn't find it. I'm curious to see if SportsCenter will air the poll tonight. I doubt it, however. The Sportsnation poll currently on both ESPN.com's home page and its NBA home page had a question about which recent NBA trade will have the biggest impact on the playoffs.

Rick on Apr 16, 2008 @ 7:31 pmBetter check the poll numbers again. Over 70% say they should stay in Seattle. You have to wait until the west coast sees the show!
KeepHornetsInNOLA on Apr 15, 2008 @ 3:55 pmI agree there's no way Durant resigns if the team is playing in Oklahoma City. I've vacationed in Seattle several times and it's one of my favorite cities on the planet. It ranks up there with Paris, Miami, New York, New Orleans as far as culture, history, and beauty. The restaurants are to die for (and what else would you expect with such a melting pot of cultures?), the sound is as beautiful as any area in America, and the city is clean, safe, and urban. It would be very difficult to be a young 20-something NBA athlete living in a condo in Seattle to then be uprooted and forced to move to Oklahoma City. Are you kidding me? No Sonics player would be happy with that. Bennett is on crack if he thinks he'll have any chance of luring coveted free agents to OKC.
michael u. on Apr 15, 2008 @ 3:32 pmphillip my friend, here is a lil poll that you may or may not have seen. it was sent thru my shipper's alliance from freight forwarder's thru-out the U.S.. how many people think mick c. got okie city into a fight that is way over okie city's head?? 89%, with, the majority stating that didnt any U.S. cities learn anything about the cities of L.A. and Tampa Bay losing that same fight. phillip, do you know how embarressing it is to have to refund the $$ for the prepaid season-ticcket holders, ask the city of Tampa Bay!!! SEE YA'LL IN JUNE!! MIKE U.
Eric on Apr 15, 2008 @ 2:45 pmBasketball is "big" enough to be played in both Seattle and OKC. The reason we went down this path is because Stern and Bennett both knew that the NBA would never get away with awarding an expansion franchise to OKC (over Las Vegas and others). The ONLY way to get a team to OKC is to do what those t wo did. Anyway, I have two questions for you Oklahomians........ How did it make you feel towards Clay when it went public that he lied, not only Seattle (which I'm sure you could care less about) but to Stern (his great friend) as well? And.... If Clay will lie to Stern, do you think he will lie to you?
mark on Apr 15, 2008 @ 8:53 amWhen players say they don't want to leave Seattle, it's a diplomatic way of saying they sure as **** don't want to play in OKC.
Pete on Apr 15, 2008 @ 8:48 amApparently I should have been more clear -- Durant won't play in Oklahoma City past his rookie contract.
JH on Apr 15, 2008 @ 4:16 am"Durant doesn't want to leave Seattle." What's he going to do, play for the Seattle Storm?
RJ on Apr 15, 2008 @ 2:27 am"I work for the team and am from Seattle, and none of the Sonics players want to move to Oklahoma City!" Looking at the current roster I hope you are right
RJ on Apr 15, 2008 @ 2:26 am"Durant and his agent won't go public with this, but Durant won't re-sign after his rookie contract expires if the team moves to OKC. Just FYI" Oh well then cancel the whole deal Won't be any tears shed over losing a Longhorn if he does
Pete on Apr 14, 2008 @ 11:07 pmDurant doesn't want to leave Seattle. Durant and his agent won't go public with this, but Durant won't re-sign after his rookie contract expires if the team moves to OKC. Just FYI
Air Gold on Apr 14, 2008 @ 10:54 pmFellas! No One wants to move to your lame-ass red neck State and Town!! I work for the team and am from Seattle, and none of the Sonics players want to move to Oklahoma City! Oklahoma City? Are you serious? Sorry! Go find your own team and try to replicate our great history with you own team! Tell Clay and his lying thieving-ass red neck homies to sell teh team back to our Seattle guys and to buy the Grizzlies!
Jesse Wilson on Apr 14, 2008 @ 9:36 pmWow! You folks in Oklahoma are a lot more liberal than us Washingtonians. McClendon didn't want the Seattle Storm in OKC because, "OKC doesn't want those types of women in their city", but nobody seems up in arms about the Stern/ Bennett love affair. Remember OKC it's better to be a giver than a taker.
Philip on Apr 14, 2008 @ 6:48 pm"Stern said it's too late at this point to seek other owners who would keep the Sonics in the city where they've played the past 41 years. "I think it's fair to say that extraordinary efforts were made to seek ownership interests when Howard sold the team, including from people who became involved in the effort -- the recently unsuccessful effort -- to get the state to extend the sales tax for the purposes of retiring the arena debt," Stern said. "It happened already. There was no one who was interested in buying the team, including the very people who stepped forward at the last minute." "Despite the release of e-mails that SuperSonics owner Clay Bennett exchanged last year with partners about moving the team to Oklahoma City, NBA commissioner David Stern says he is convinced Bennett made a good-faith effort to keep the team in Seattle." http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=3346600
Sonicsman on Apr 14, 2008 @ 5:42 amI just want to pass on my appreciation to the 16,000 + fans that packed KeyArena tonight and rocked. You can argue on this forum or any other about Seattle not stepping up to save the Sonics and I will call BS on you. It was like a playoff game and the best part was at the end when the Mavs fouled and the whole arena chanted "Save Our Sonics". Gary Payton was also in the house and said it would be a "disaster" if the Sonics left and he believes it will work out. Curious to know what he was in town for although he and Durant have the same agent. Don't know where things will go from here but the NBA can't igonre the noise that Seattle is making and the hard "HONEST" work that is going on to save this team!!!
SEATTLE Sonics on Apr 14, 2008 @ 5:28 amHow about that game Sonics fans! Can't wait until next season. When is the draft lottery?
SEATTLE Sonics on Apr 14, 2008 @ 5:26 amI guess he lied to Prentice much better than to everyone else. Either that, or she's pretty freakin gullible.
RJ on Apr 14, 2008 @ 2:28 am"How was he sticking to his deadline." He gave the city and state the year to come up with something and they didn't...If your politicians wouldn't have played hardball with Stern and Schultz a few years back we wouldn't be having this conversation
Sam on Apr 14, 2008 @ 1:22 amYou can call it a publicity stunt if you like. But it's that publicity stunt that will get Bennett sued by Schultz. And just because Prentice felt like Bennett was making a good-faith effort, doesn't mean that he actually was. One's opinion of someone else will never hold up in court versus actual evidence. Not to mention that there are e-mails out there that are dated back to 10 days after Bennett purchased the Sonics where he was discussing how to get the Sonics in OKC as soon as possible. The only way that this could possibly get worked out before the trial date is if Bennett agrees to sell the team, which according to you isn't very likely. The city of Seattle would not have gone through the trouble of gathering this evidence against Bennett if they were going to eventually allow Bennett to buyout the rest of the KeyArena lease.
Philip on Apr 13, 2008 @ 11:54 pmThe emails were a publicity stunt to embarrass the owners and to undermine the BOG vote and their seriousness as been greatly exaggerated. It might swing a vote or two but I doubt it. The BOG vote is a certainty. As far as the good faith effort is concerned, the Chairwoman of the House Ways and Means would be called to testify in court. This is what she had to say about it the past December....... "I know for a fact that he wanted to stay," Prentice said about Bennett. "He spent a lot of time and money trying to make it work here. And the real tragedy is we had the votes in both houses." "Seattle has painted itself in a corner because it's impossible now," Prentice said. "They are desperate, trying to figure out a way to make it work, and it doesn't work. "Too may people have engaged in wishful thinking, hoping that the fairy godmother is going to arrive, and there's no such person out there." "They are about as close to (being gone) as I have experienced," Prentice said. "It's a shame. A lot of people are going to be disappointed. It's a disgrace to lose a team for no good reason." The Bog will approve the move and the Sonics will sign a 15 year lease agreement with OKC beginning in 2010 or upon the successful resolution of the lease. The key then will be for the Ballmer group to get the state to play ball and complete the Key remodel proposal so that Slade has something to bargain for in buyout negotiations. There can't be a solution that ends with the NBA in Seattle without an arena agreement with a local ownership group. Both sides will want to have this worked out before the trial starts because lawyers like sure things and both sides stand a chance of losing if it goes to trial.
Sam on Apr 13, 2008 @ 11:20 pmHe never stuck to his one-year deadline. The earliest e-mails that have been released were dated 3 months before the deadline. He still had 3 months to make a "good-faith effort" and instead spent that time talking with his buddies about how excited he was that the Sonics were going to end up in OKC. I've also heard from someone that works closely with Save Our Sonics that they are e-mails that date back to 10 days after the PBC purchased the Sonics where Bennett was discussing how they were going to move the Sonics from Seattle to OKC. How was he sticking to his deadline.
RJ on Apr 13, 2008 @ 8:59 pm"That's true, but what the OKC newspapers apparently aren't telling you is that Howard Schultz can sue Bennett and force him to sell the Sonics because of Bennett's violation of the contract he signed." He stuck to his one year deadline and made a proposal endorsed by a senior Senator in your legislature...Thinking emails to his buddies wouldn't be enough to make a case
RJ on Apr 13, 2008 @ 8:57 pm"RJ, Ballmer's offer was not shot down by the legislature. They haven't even had the opportunity to consider it" Your own publications described that way Guess Who *Nickels had pledged $75 million from the city through lease payments and admissions taxes on KeyArena. But the state Legislature declined to authorize an additional $75 million that would have been raised through taxes on restaurant meals and car rentals in King County. Nickels said his staff was unable to come up with an alternative way to raise that money without the state's help.* Didn't have time to consider it? *Though the idea didn't become public until two weeks before the 2008 legislative session adjourned March 13, Griffin and city leaders say elected leaders knew details of the plan much earlier -- in time to authorize $75 million in local taxes for the plan had they been so inclined. In March, top lawmakers and Gov. Chris Gregoire said the deal was the best they'd seen in three years, but the offer simply came too late to act on this year. From the investment group's perspective, that was a misrepresentation. In a March 7 e-mail to Gregoire's legislative liaison, Griffin expressed exasperation with the way the issue had been framed in public comments. "I want you and the Governor to have the timeline," Griffin wrote. "As you can see from the attachment, the mayor started working with Olympia in December. We met with the Speaker over a month ago. We tried to do it quietly, so people wouldn't feel pushed into a corner. For trying to be gentle and work respectfully with Olympia, it seems unfair to now be told that we came in at the last minute. You and the Governor should know the timeline." The timeline indicates Gregoire, Speaker of the House Frank Chopp, Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels and King County Executive Ron Sims met in December to discuss a basic framework of the proposal.*
Sam on Apr 13, 2008 @ 7:10 pm"This time is different, this time it's just too late.." It's too late? It wasn't "too late" when the Seahawks were holding practices in Los Angeles. It wasn't "too late" when the Mariners were selling season tickets in Tampa Bay. What makes you think it's "too late" for the Sonics who aren't close to doing either of those? "Sam, you were consistent in that you were wrong about every single thing you said. ( and that's not your fault.)" If it was, then why don't you explain why it's wrong and destroy my credibility on this board. Then you won't have to listen to me. "And if the city wins? The Sonics could be forced to stay for two more dismal seasons. Then they'd leave anyway, and maybe Seattle could cut a deal for another NBA team." That's true, but what the OKC newspapers apparently aren't telling you is that Howard Schultz can sue Bennett and force him to sell the Sonics because of Bennett's violation of the contract he signed. And don't think that Schultz won't. If he wants to save his business (Starbucks) in the northwest, then he would be more dim-witted than Bennett to not sue.
Philip on Apr 13, 2008 @ 4:44 pmIt's very odd reading the post's from Seattle. The central theme is the denial of where we're at and whats about to happen with the Sonics. It's interesting to see how this takes the different posters off into different fantasys that result in the Sonics staying in Seattle. Acceptance is a big step to take and by addressing some of the things written in the last few posts, I hope to help some of the posters come to terms with this. SEATTLE Sonics Says: "As the lease is running out on the Key, it's time to build another state of the art facility for the Sonics. It's going to happen, first we just need to shake the self-proclaimed "dumb okie" out of the trees and kick him back to his hole." Seattle has waited to long to come to that conclusion with the current team. The name can be retained as part of a buyout agreement, however. Clay Bennett has consistently said the team is not for sale and there is no reason to believe that will change. SEATTLE Sonics Says: "Seattle has been through this many times, trust me when I tell that it is only now just beginning and that we're in for a fun ride." This time is different, this time it's just too late.. The NBA BOG will meet in the next week and approve the request for the Sonics to relocate the team to OKC, shortly thereafter the Sonics will sign a 15 year lease with OKC beginning in 2010 or upon the successful resolution of the lease. This will end any hope of the current team remaining in Seattle beyond 2010. The end. Sam, you were consistent in that you were wrong about every single thing you said. ( and that's not your fault.) joey Says: "jill, the ford center will need to be replaced very soon." We are signing a 15 year lease on the Ford Center and it would be very foolish of us to believe that it will be satisfactory beyond that. We will have to have a plan and an agreement with the team for them to stay beyond that. Seattle doesn't and they're losing their team because of that. Guess Who Says: "RJ, Ballmer's offer was not shot down by the legislature. They haven't even had the opportunity to consider it. Is this the kind of information you guys are getting in OKC? If so, no wonder Jill is so misguided." http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/sonics/2004341257_sonibargaining11.html "But hey, all of that talk about KeyArena is moot. After all, our politicians and business leaders haven't been able to get a funding plan together. There's that little matter of public fury over subsidizing billionaire NBA owners. Optimists might say Ballmer and Nickels filled the glass three-quarters full on the latest push for a $300 million KeyArena expansion. Ballmer offered to pay $150 million and the city would kick in $75 million. It's just that Gov. Christine Gregoire and the Legislature want to appoint a task force to study whether to top the glass off with the final $75 million. A task force. That's just how things are done around here. So what is Seattle left to bargain with? That KeyArena lease that is supposed to run through September 2010. While these sort of lease fights are usually resolved with a settlement, Seattle looks determined to make this one nasty and protracted, if the e-mails dredged up in the city's lawsuit are any indication. And if the city wins? The Sonics could be forced to stay for two more dismal seasons. Then they'd leave anyway, and maybe Seattle could cut a deal for another NBA team. Still, this lawsuit thing would buy an extra two years. That just might be just long enough for a task force to recommend something.
Guess Who on Apr 13, 2008 @ 2:44 pmRJ, Ballmer's offer was not shot down by the legislature. They haven't even had the opportunity to consider it. Is this the kind of information you guys are getting in OKC? If so, no wonder Jill is so misguided. Seattle is used to building WORLD CLASS stadiums. We have two of them. Sonics could have one as well had they gone about requesting it with respect and properly requesting it which they did not do. Bennett has been nothing but condescending to the fans of the Sonics, the city of Seattle and the State of Washington. It only has led to tremendous loathing. Regarding that ESPN poll, it is a joke. It is far from scientific. It could have been more effective if people could only vote one time. Any chance any of you know about auto-bots?
joey on Apr 13, 2008 @ 6:36 amjill, the ford center will need to be replaced very soon. as i understand it is only six years old, and only had a brief NBA tennant. now you the taxpayer, have been asked to put in another 100+ plus million dollars. you people have done this in the hopes of stealing a storied and beloved franchise, from a city who has supported them for 41 years, also from a city who are just 13 years removed from remodeling their arena into a "model for the rest of the NBA", those are the words of your pal mr. stern. in short, we know this game. we have been through it on much bigger levels(MLB and NFL). we do not feel entitled! you people have gotten in way over your heads. if the supes move? i can hardly wait to see the fallout when bennett aks for a brand new facility, in less than ten years. and i can laugh when i hear all of the okc , saying whats wrong with the ford center.
RJ on Apr 13, 2008 @ 4:33 amMuckleshoots free land only proposal was a joke...Ballmers proposal was shot down by the state legislature and had him as the owner..Thinking that wouldn't be very attractive to the CURRENT owner...Should you really list a billion dollar pipe dream that has no funding and no location? I would feel much worse about this situation if your city or state leaders had offered up anything worthwhile that was shot down by Bennett and Stern...Majority of the blame needs to be thrown Olympia's way instead of OKC
Sam on Apr 13, 2008 @ 12:07 amHey Jill, You're obviously misled (and that's not your fault). We won't build an arena for Bennett because his only proposal was one that was fully paid for by the taxpayers where he would be the only one getting the arena revenue (read my other post on the blog about Bennett's e-mails for more info). We have several proposal that the Sonics could have considered if they really were intent on trying to stay in Seattle, all of which were better than a renovated Ford Center. Among others there was the Muckleshoots' proposal, Steve Ballmers proposal for a renovated KeyArena, Fred Browns $1 billion Emerald City Center, and many other proposals to renovate KeyArena. Many of these were offered before it was "too late."
SEATTLE Sonics on Apr 12, 2008 @ 7:28 pmJill, You really have no idea what's been going on in Seattle. We build arenas in Seattle all the time. We built one for the Sonics less than 12 years before the Okies promised they had no intention of buying the Sonics to move to OKC. We built 2 more facilities (the best in each of their respective leagues in fact) several years back. As the lease is running out on the Key, it's time to build another state of the art facility for the Sonics. It's going to happen, first we just need to shake the self-proclaimed "dumb okie" out of the trees and kick him back to his hole. In the meantime, let's just enjoy this opportunity for two communities to get to know each other before the issue is settled and we only have awkward silence between us. Seattle has been through this many times, trust me when I tell that it is only now just beginning and that we're in for a fun ride.
Jill on Apr 12, 2008 @ 11:50 amPublic opinion, and the ESPN poll was overwhelmingly in favor of the Hornets staying in OKC. Journalists and television commentators wrote articles and gave opinions on sports shows saying the Hornets should stay in OKC. You can see how that worked out for us. Of course public opinion is going to say the Sonics shouldn't leave. I didn't think the Colts should leave Baltimore, the Browns should leave Cleveland either. I didn't think the Sonics should leave Seattle, until I saw how disinterested in building an arena they were in Seattle, and how everyone up there thinks sports owners should be building their own arenas. That's a city holding it's hand out, if you ask me. The owner is supposed to spend hundreds of millions for the team, lose money or make very little every year AND pay for an arena? All so private citizens can watch basketball? Sounds like entitlement to me. I don't blame Stern for being sick of Seattle after I've watched the behavior up there for two years. I'd be running far, far away myself.
RJ on Apr 12, 2008 @ 5:11 am"Way to set the bar. I guess you're pretty aware by now that public opinion is not on your side," Public opinion rarely sides with the new city in relo situations regardless of the circumstances...Have there been classier moves?...Definitely, but having public opinion on your side is hardly newsworthy and has very little impact
Andy Simon on Apr 12, 2008 @ 3:41 amI don't have a problem with him on this. It is just that any web poll that lets you vote unlimited times is worthless. Even if it came back 100% in favor of the Sonics staying I wouldn't cite it as meaning anything. What is telling is things like the Time "10 questions" site where 1300+ people posted questions nearly all of them critical of David Stern and his bungling of the Sonics situation.
SEATTLE Sonics on Apr 12, 2008 @ 3:25 amDM did say he expected the poll to be about 5% in favor of moving the Sonics, so he was actually surprised by the results as most who recognize there is broad opposition to the relocation. It's true that he did not quote the poll question accurately and might have read into the results differently if he understood what it was asking. Don't get on him too much for the mistake. Although he's on the staff of the Oklahoman to cover the NBA, this specific forum does not receive the same scrutiny from editors and such to ensure journalistic standards of accuracy. DM, just out of curiousity, how did you vote? I voted no (NBA should not allow Sonics to move) .
Andy Simon on Apr 12, 2008 @ 2:48 amActually the funny thing was that the OKC crowd had already padded the vote before the times and sc.com found out about it. The thing is that these "polls" are normally hijacked by people who write scripts to load up the results. It was so insignificant that the SOS group didn't even send out a notice of it.
mark on Apr 12, 2008 @ 2:09 amDM, you sadly couldn't be more inept at reading polls. As you state, the question asks "Should the nba ALLOW the Sonics to move to OKC?" That is a far cry from asking whether or not people are "in favor of the move". Get some critical thinking skills. I'm glad you thought it was "interesting" to see "that large a percentage" being "in favor of the move". If you had the internet research abilities of your boy Phillip you would see that this impressive margin you cite is now a somewhat less impressive 0%. I find it more interesting that your definition of success is anything over "five percent". Way to set the bar. I guess you're pretty aware by now that public opinion is not on your side, and these emails are only making matters worse. I'm sure you think your pseudo-objectivity absolves you from blame in this farce, but really you're just covering for an amoral theif and fawning David Stern sycophant. Even Donut Eyes has seen the light. This is not how you earn national respect.

Philip on Apr 12, 2008 @ 12:29 amHere's a link to the online poll..... http://sports.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation/index What's funny about it, is that the link has posted on the Seattle Times message board and Sonicscentral.com all day and with them trying to pad the vote, it's still running 50/50 with over 8500 votes cast.

For years, the Front Mission series has delivered an intriguing combination of strategic gameplay and nerdy mech customization for giant-robot enthusiasts. The series is now set to return with a new game, Front Mission Evolved, which will break new ground as a third-person shooter (with nerdy mech customization). Producer Shinji Hashimoto explains.
GameSpot: Give us an overview of Front Mission Evolved. What are the more important new features in the game?
Shinji Hashimoto: One of the most important features is that the game is a third-person shooter. Players will pilot robots called wanzers to defeat enemies and fulfill their objectives. Depending on [which level you're playing], you can play as a human as well. There have been a few scenes in past games where this was possible, but this is the first time [in the series that] playing as a human has been built into the main system.
There is also a new system called "E.D.G.E." In previous Front Mission games, bioneural devices, or "fenrirs," were introduced as "core weapons" (systems), but players either couldn't use them at all or couldn't really experience anything out of the ordinary when using them. The E.D.G.E system is a major aspect of Front Mission Evolved's storyline and is something that players can actually use.
GS: What aspects of previous games in the series are you most looking to build or improve on?
SH: We gave the agility backpack more power in order to heighten wanzer mobility. The agility backpack from the previous games could be used only as a means to travel to high places, but in this game, we've strengthened the skate mode, making it possible to glide across the ground.
GS: Why make the next Front Mission game a third-person shooter?
SH: The fact that we created this game in collaboration with a Western developer and also our goal to introduce the world of Front Mission to as many people around the world as possible were some of the reasons behind our decision to make this game a third-person shooter. We chose the shooter genre because it's something that many people are familiar with and has a strong compatibility with the style of the game itself, in terms of controlling wanzers. We also felt it would be a shame if players couldn't see their customized wanzers in action and chose the third-person view so that they can see themselves (or their backs, at least) onscreen.
GS: How will the strategic elements from the previous game affect the gameplay in Evolved?
SH: The genre is different, so [you might not see all the] strategic elements from the simulation-plus-role-playing Front Mission games. However, by choosing your backpack, you can take on different roles: an assault trooper with high mobility, a healer, or a defender that hinders enemy attacks. The strategic experience is more prominent when playing online. In the single-player game, you can explore optimal ways to clear a level by customizing your machine based on enemy placement.
GS: Tell us about the role your character plays in the game's story. Who is your character, and where does this character fit in the Front Mission timeline?
SH: The main character, Dylan, is a newly appointed wanzer pilot. Because his father is involved in the construction of wanzers, these mechs have been a part of his life since childhood. Thus, he possesses wanzer knowledge, techniques, and control skills that would put a veteran pilot to shame. He is very cheerful and honest and acts like a young boy at times.
GS: How does your character eventually end up as part of the war among factions?
SH: New York City is suddenly attacked while the main character is operating a test model. In order to rescue his father, he heads to New York in the test model and begins coordinating with the military amidst the confusion. He must now stand up against the enemies who attacked the city.
GS: One of the most enjoyable aspects of previous Front Mission games was customization of wanzers. How much customization will be available in Evolved?
SH: I can't give away the actual numbers yet, but over 10 wanzer models and several dozen weapons will be available. Battle skills are customizable, and there is now more freedom in camouflaging and coloring the wanzers.
GS: Can you give us any hints on what's planned for multiplayer?
SH: The experience is very close to that of the standard shooters. Deathmatch, team deathmatch, and domination are some of the [modes] that players may be familiar with.
GS: Finally, is there anything else you'd like to add about Front Mission: Evolved?
SH: I'd like to assure existing fans of the series that they shouldn't be concerned about the change of genre. The world stays true to what it has always been, wanzers are still a major component, and you can even become a pilot yourself. There is also an easy mode for people who aren't very familiar with action games.
For those who are playing Front Mission for the first time, you can enjoy Front Mission Evolved as a stand-alone action shooter, even if you aren't familiar with the rest of the series. It would be great if newcomers could give this game a try and get to know Front Mission and its world.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Oblivion's game of the year edition. Is it worth the extra just for a couple of extra's for a game you've already completed? YES, it is. The shivering Isle's expansion is great as you get fantastic weapons e.g DuskFang and DawnFang, lethal armor e.g Dadric armor and at the end you become shepgarth himself, can sit in his throne and get his clothes.

The IEEE 802.16 standard is designed to meet the need of metropolitan-area broadband wireless access. This work studies two collision-resolution requesting schemes for best-effort (BE) traffics in IEEE 802.16 networks. One is the exponential backoff scheme defined in the standard and the other is a piggyback mechanism enhanced by single-frame backoff, called the Request Piggyback (RPB) scheme. We analyze and compare their performance in terms of the request success probability and the packet delivery delay under Poisson traffic. The results show that the RPB scheme outperforms the exponential backoff scheme and can reduce request collision.

Wrangler Original-fit Cowboy-cut Western Jeans is rated out of 5 by 229.Rated 5 out of 5 by marv34 from Wrangler Jeans This is the only Jeans my husband will wear... He loves the way they fit.Date published: 2015-06-14Rated 4 out of 5 by JimK from Last forever, fit well These are great jeans that fit well and will last forever if taken care of. I wash them in cold water and hang to dry. Only negative is that over time they fade badly. The tan ones become very light, and the black ones turn grey pretty quickly. Still a good buy.Date published: 2015-06-08Rated 1 out of 5 by nicksname from Material color and finish The material is not what I use to get from Wrangler. The finish is uneven and has a 'pilly' appearance. The finish makes the color look uneven. They seem like a cheap imitation of my old Wranglers. They don't even feel like jeans when you put them on. I'm comparing these to old Wranglers that had the pocket patch above the pocket.Date published: 2015-05-27Rated 5 out of 5 by Butch1954 from they fit like a glove Yes they cost a few dollars more than other jeans, but they last longer, and are more comfortable, whether working or playing,Date published: 2015-05-21Rated 1 out of 5 by Hopper62 from Wranglers I have been wearing wranglers for 40 years.

I am looking for a mature, honest, hard working, emotionally available, intellectual, affectionate, energetic, kind, humorous, fun loving man for an eventual long term relationship. Let's meet up and find out the more important things about each other that are usually not portrayed in these profiles. I enjoy life and try to live every day to it's fullest. I would love to come home every day and be able to have an intelligent conversation, enjoy a glass of wine, cook together, laugh together and support each other while experiencing life together. If you have children, a good relationship with the ex, and you are an involved father--- these are all a plus!! I enjoy traveling but would love to do more of it. I love spontaneous last minute trips with no itineraries. I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephews, visiting my Mom and hometown, drinks on the patio, cold days with something in the crockpot and a fire in the fireplace, wings and football, dinner and movie nights, malls and people watching, beer and backyard cookouts. Sorry about all the selfies. I do have pictures of me skiing in Colorado and Canada, kayaking in Hawaii, Cowboy/Maverick/Rangers/Stars games, camping, Segway tours, spelunking, jet skiing, riding horses, wine and scotch tasting, four wheeling, shooting guns, pub crawling, and various other activities--- but none of those pics are current unfortunately. I work out regularly and am by no means a couch potato:). Email or wink, let's chat, and then of course meet up---simple as that!

Comment: Re:What could possibly go wrong? (Score 2) 130 130
the whole point of locations is that they be basically what the death camps are today- aka, public places, museums
No. As a funny side note, it's amazing how some officials go out of their ways to avoid labeling these places as "museums". The new expression "documentation centeres" was coined for museums in non-museum-worthy places.

Comments about Spa Organics Sugar Scrub, Mandarin + Mango, 15 oz:
I am always on the hunt for great body scrubs and this is one of the best I've found for the money. I like that it's sugar as the crystals are easier on my skin, and it smells amazing. It also rinses off cleanly and doesn't leave an oily slick that gets the grains stuck in it. I hate trying to put lotion on afterwards and finding big patches of scrub that didn't rinse off well! This leaves my skin very smooth and I use it everywhere - safe for neck, arms, etc. I highly recommend it!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Hello all prospective students! I am an elementary school teacher (finishing up my Master's in Education and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential). I love to teach! I have a lifelong love of learning all things! I am very knowledgeable in many subjects, and if I do not know something or am unfamiliar, I make sure to find out! I am excellent at research. My goal as a tutor is to help you realize your own potential as a student, by working on your strengths and weaknesses to overcome any obstacle. I am trained in different teaching techniques and study methods. I have a lot of patience and do well with students of all ages (as I am a substitute for my school district currently - elementary - high school). I am also very tech savvy and can help you learn how to use a computer, if that is what you seek (i.e. Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel Basics, working around a MAC or PC).
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Thank you for your time, and I hope we can work together to give you/your student the successful tools needed to excel in any academic achievement! Hello all prospective students! I am an elementary school teacher (finishing up my Master's in Education and Multiple Subject Teaching Credential). I love to teach! I have a lifelong love of learning all things! I am very knowledgeable in many subjects, and if I do not know something or am unfamiliar, I make sure to find out! I am excellent at… Read more
Re: Cancellation: If scheduled appointment is cancelled within the 4 hour window, half of my rate will be assessed. I would rather reschedule if possible.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
I have passed my CBEST and all my CSET (CSET 1, 2, 3 - for a multiple subject teaching credential). If you need study strategies or help in passing any of these tests, I can be of help to you, and offer my study strategies that helped me pass each test the first time I took each of them. If you are not a fan of taking tests, but know the material, I can even help you with techniques on focusing and time management.
I am a qualified Elementary School Teacher, who is finished with the coursework, but waiting to do my student teaching. I have been a substitute teacher for a local school district for 2 1/2 years now, and I teach all subjects (i.e. Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, Grammar, etc). I am called frequently to sub, since I make sure to follow the lesson plans thoroughly, and leave excellent notes for the teacher. This way the teacher does not have to reteach and waste precious time, the students don't miss a beat, and the teacher can continue her lessons as planned.
I am of Greek descent, and my parents are both from Greece. From the ages of 8 - 14, I was enrolled in an intensive Greek Language School program. I learned to read, write, and speak more fluently. I learned about Greek History, Geography, and Language skills that would be with me for life. I was so fortunate that I got this opportunity, that when I did a study abroad to Greece with a local city college (I finally got to see all the places I had studied), I was the only person who spoke the language. It was of such great value to them, that they hired me to be their "translator," for the following Study Abroad to Greece. I find that learning another language enriches the person (at any age), whether it be someone who is learning Greek or someone who is Greek and needs assistance in learning the English language.
I currently own all things Macintosh (MAC for short). I love Apple products, and can help you master them too! They are very user friendly, but if you find it difficult to switch over from your PC, I can help you. I have a lot of patience when it comes to educating people at anything they need help in, or that I have researched thoroughly (making me very competent in a subject). I know how to use iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD and any other program that comes with a MAC. I can even help you effectively organize your files and learn how to use Time Machine to back everything up. I also know how to make adorable DVDs with your camera footage, CDs of music for your car (using iTunes), anything else creative you can think of. I love my MAC!
I am qualified to tutor this subject because I received my Bachelors Degree from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in Sociology (General). I have a passion for Sociology because of its vast information on how a society functions in all of its institutions. I am also well studied in theorists, methodologies, and the psychology/criminal justice portion of the field. Depending on your level of need, I can help you study Sociology, by organizing everything you need into a more manageable flow of information. I can even assist you with study techniques that will help you achieve high scores on tests/exams.
Georgia G. has not yet had a background check. After sending a message to Georgia, you will be able to order a background check for $7.99. The check will be processed by First Advantage. For more information, please review the background check information page.
As part of your tutor selection process, we encourage you to run updated background checks. Please also review the safety tips for hiring tutors.

2014 was an extremely successful summer for Google / PSU Summer of Code. All of our projects completed successfully, and many of them extraordinarily so. We had some really great mentors and students this year, and I am excited for what we accomplished.
Our themes this year turned out to be Weave, geography and open hardware, but we had a wide variety of great projects.
