1980 United States "Miracle on Ice" Hockey Team Signed Game Issued Mike Eruzione Stick. Fresh off Heritage Auctions' 2013 February Platinum Auction, where we sold 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team legend Mike Eruzione's collection for more than $1.4 million, here we present an extremely rare team-signed hockey stick representing the Miracle on Ice members. Consigned by Eruzione's first cousin, the game-issued "C.C.M." stick is date stamped "4 Fev. 1980" and "ERUZIONE," while it presents the following keys: head coach Herb Brooks, Mark Pavelich, Mark Wells, Jim Craig, Mark Wells, Mike Eruzione and others. Averaging NM-MT ink exemplars throughout, this is easily the nicest team-signed stick featuring the 1980 U.S.A. Olympics team we have ever offered. Notarized letter of provenance from Richard Fucillo (Mike Eruzione's first cousin). Pre-certified by PSA/DNA. Auction LOA from James Spence Authentication.

works really well. I'm surprised that the framework doesn't have this built into it. I'd imagine almost everyone would use it.
My only criticism is that you can't change the size of the buttons or fonts or choose the text that populates that buttons. It would be nice to have a previous/next or newer/older generic option for the button titles and be able to have them aligned vertically to avoid the stacking.

Drumroll, please: Color of the year is Radiant Orchid

As 2013 comes to an end, emerald is now color history. The hue of the year for 2014 is Radiant Orchid.
Pantone, the global color authority, announced the color (Pantone 18-3224 Radiant Orchid) Thursday. Neither pink nor purple, the color is halfway between the two, mixing fuchsia, purple and pink.
"Radiant Orchid inspires confidence and emanates great joy, love and health," said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute. "It is a captivating purple, one that draws you in with its beguiling charm."
While emerald served as a symbol of growth, renewal and prosperity, Eiseman said, "Radiant Orchid encourages expanded creativity and originality, which is increasingly valued in today's society."
The happy color highlighted the spring 2014 runways and collections in everything from dresses to shoes. Don O'Neill, creative director of Theia fashion line, said it's the right color to chase away the harsh winter blues.
"It's a color of love and nurturing, tenderness, kindness and empathy. The perfect springtime color," said O'Neill, who created Radiant Orchid printed silk organza party dresses for spring.
The color also will make splash in beauty products from eye shadows to lip colors and home interiors, paired with turquoise, teal and even light yellows.
Converse All Star Sneakers for Unisex Original, $50, look good in orchid.
Try this Geneva Chevron Bangle Watch, $24.99, at Kohl's.
Yes, boots for spring. Try this Duo Bach Boot, $370 at duoboots.com.
Gucci 58 bordeaux heartbeat print leather clutch, $1,250, takes on the hue.
This Theia party dress, $495, is available at Tootsies.

BMW i8 to be name of VED production car. No M model.

Join Date: Jun 2008

There is a hole in the BMW line as far as a "uber" M car or halo supercar. The M6 while a V10 bada$$ never could compete with R8 or 911 turbo, GTr, etc. I repeat myself but the DNA is there. Offer "regular type" M3's at 70k loaded or so. Then as Porsche or audi does offer a S/C version breaking the 500hp mark at say 80-85K. of course it would carry other enhancements such a better brakes and perhaps recaro type seats etc. I don't like the fact that a mustang GT now can perform at the same level as a M3 mostly, and the GT500 offers 550hp and the 1M runs numbers waay to close to M3 to justify price jump. This "E8" or whatever will not attract my money.
GTR is now the leader for the money where before it was the M3. m division/bmw seems not to care. They are here to make money which I get BUT my other car is an X6. If I defect with an R8 or the like I wont stay in the BMW family with my DD. So they will lose on both ends. The F32 if done with 450hp will become 2nd best out of the gate. It needs to target the GTR. If it takes a "black" or GTS version with 10-15K price jump from "regular" F32 M3 then so be it. Or what about an M4 with the 4.4L TT V8 at 550 hp? Hmm.
Has the M division reached it apex? Not trying to flame, just want m to lead, not follow. Who aspire's to be 2nd best? Is that going to be bmw's M division new logo?

YIELD: Serves 6
In a bowl stir together well the flour, the oats, the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and the salt. Add the butter, blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal, and stir in the walnuts. In a large bowl toss the apples with the lemon juice and the granulated sugar and transfer the mixture to a buttered 10-inch (2 quart) pie plate. Crumble the topping evenly over the apple mixture and bake the crisp in the middle of a preheated 375°F. oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the apples are cooked through and the top is golden. Let the crisp stand for 10 minutes and serve it warm with the whipped cream.

Activity for the week of Sunday, Jul 05
Joellianne from PhilippinesToday
Our little princess Joellianne is back, with a cute new haircut! Tomorrow she gets to unload that heavy spica cast, and replace it with a smaller lighter one that will allow her to move her hips, hooray! She will also have the hardware taken out of her hip that held everything together as she healed. Joellianne told mom Juvy that she was happy to see our Kid's Mentor, Cyra, but she wasn't very happy to see the nurses! Hopefully her opinion will change after a successful "mini-surgery" tomorrow, please be praying for a quick, easy procedure!
Madia from Niger2 days ago
Madia showed up today for a check up! She still has a cast on her leg, but doctors told her that she'll be ready to get it taken off next time she comes. We're so glad to see her and are praying for her continued healing as the countdown to cast off continues!
Abdoulaye from Niger2 days ago
Abdoulaye showed up today for his follow-up consultation! We are so happy to see him back! He's fine and he walks well, which is so awesome to see!
Nana Hanifa from Niger2 days ago
This morning, we caught up with Nana, as she was waiting for her physiotherapy session. Her friend Rafia was waiting for her turn too. Time goes faster with a friend!
Maryam from Niger2 days ago
When we saw Maryam this morning, she busy getting crafty once again, stringing together some beautiful necklaces at the Case de passage. She was excited to show us all the pearls she gets! Enjoy Maryam!
Boubacar from Niger2 days ago
Boubacar was resting at the guest house this morning. When he saw the camera, a huge smile filled up his face! Have a nice day Boubacar!
Ousseina from Niger2 days ago
Sodogas, our physical therapist, came today to teach Ousseina to use a walker, so she can move as she's waiting for her leg to heal. Hang in there Ousseina!
Gregoire from Niger2 days ago
Gregoire is still resting in the ward, and he can't really move, because both of his legs are in a huge cast. Thankfully, he received a little toy plane today, so he can play around a little! Keep those prayers coming...he needs the encouragement!
Amine from Niger2 days ago
Check out the newest Blues Brother! Amine found some shades he couldn't resist, and we're pretty sure no one else could resist him either.
Layla from Niger2 days ago
Layla was released early this morning, so we didn't have the chance to catch a picture of her, but she's not leaving for long. She'll be back Monday to get her dressing changed! See you soon Layla!
Estery from Malawi2 days ago
Today's physiotherapy activity is more catching and throwing! She is champ at it, we can assure you. Good news too, Estery is about two thirds of the way through her treatment! So hopefully in about four weeks we can remove the frames. Not too long now!
Ruth from Malawi2 days ago
Ruth gives us a cheeky smile as she waits for her turn with our physiotherapist. She's making great progress, thanks to all her hard work and the encouragement she's been getting. Please keep praying for her!
Thokozani from Malawi2 days ago
We sat with Thoko listening to music on our laptop today. She told us that worship music is her fave, and she says "I like big groups of people singing with all their different voices together!" She also told us she's in a bit of pain today, so please keep praying for strength and perseverance for her as she goes through the rest of her treatment with the frame.
Jonah from Uganda2 days ago
"I'm very very relieved," said Mary about Jonah being out of surgery. Jonah went in today for an ETV/CPC to treat his hydrocephalus, and his operation was successful! He is now resting in the ICU where he will spend the night. This afternoon, Mary received seven get well messages, which was a huge encouragement to her. She thanks all those who wrote her, and please continue to pray for Jonah's recovery.
Kenneth from Malawi2 days ago
We're stoked to see Kenneth grinning again today! Thanks for your prayers!
Rashid from Malawi2 days ago
Rashid is THIS happy to be going home today! Wild with excitement. We're looking forward to seeing his delightful grin again when he comes back in August for a review. Please pray for him and his mom as they travel home. Thank you!
Noah from Uganda3 days ago
"We are hanging in there," said Jane. We met her sitting outside the ward with Noah's sister Aba. Noah spent the night in ICU, but is now back to the ward. Please continue to pray for him and this sweet family!
Alma from Philippines3 days ago
Alma's going home today! She was very chatty this morning, which was a great sign. She was curious if we had games on our laptop, and gave us a look of pity when we told her we didn't, just work stuff. Today was the first time she's been in an upright position, but she wasn't thrilled about it. Moving from her bed to the wheelchair was still painful, so we tried to lighten her mood by doing a manicure and pedicure, which she enjoyed. The face might not show it, but she was having fun, we promise! We hope when she goes home she can get some better rest and heal quickly!
Frederic from Philippines3 days ago
Today is Frederic's final day in the hospital, he'll be resting at home this weekend! He can move his left hand, but his right one is still hurting. He's spent most of the day wandering around the ward in a wheelchair, which he technically doesn't need, but we think it's just something fun for him to do. Wheelchairs are entertaining when you don't actually "need" one! Please pray for strength for Frederic, he'll need to learn to adapt for a bit while his hands are out of commission.
Gregoire from Niger3 days ago
Gregoire was quite fine today! He had a heavy surgery, and he still needs to rest a lot, but the pain has subsided a bit, so thanks so much for praying!
Ousseina from Niger3 days ago
When we went to check on Ousseina this afternoon, she was resting, and we don't blame her! The surgery she went through was quite heavy and she needs all the rest she can get. Please, keep praying for her!
Layla from Niger3 days ago
Layla had surgery today to release her burn contracture, and we praise God that everything went smoothly! Please pray for her full recovery!
Amine from Niger3 days ago
Amine went in the art therapy room today and came out with 3 new friends on his cast. The wild kingdom comes to Niger! Amine is loving it!
Cleophat from Zambia3 days ago
Cleophat's grandmother Stephania is a huge ball of fun! She takes every opportunity she gets to practice her English with us. As for Cleophat, for someone who just underwent a leg straightening procedure, she's very strong and is determined not to cry at all. Cleophat is definitely the leader on our scoreboard when it comes to pain endurance, and Stephania is by her side, pitching in plenty of smiles and laughter!
Hellen from Zambia3 days ago
Hellen's confidence levels are back and she's in a very bright mood. Her leg is doing much better, and her happiness is wearing off on her mother, who thinks it is time for Hellen to go home and get rid of the cast. Sadly for her, we have to wait for the doctor to give them a thumbs up before their bags can be packed. All we can do for them is encourage them to keep smiling, because joy comes in the morning!

The trick to parchment paper
Q: My cracker recipe calls for rolling the dough thinly between two sheets of parchment paper. When I try it, the parchment slips all over the counter. How can I hold it in place?
A: Parchment paper or plastic wrap can both help you roll out a thin dough without adding flour. To keep it in place, try the old kitchen trick of spreading out a thin dish towel, then place the paper on top.
Make sure you use natural parchment that isn't coated with silicone. It isn't as slick as white Kathleen Purvis, food editor, Charlotte observer

Palm's shares jumped to a two-year high based on rumors that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) may be interested in buying the handset maker, Reuters reports. Neither Nokia or Palm (NSDQ: PALM) commented on the rumors.
It is unclear whether the report is based on actual talks, or based on which company analysts believe would make a good suitor. Beyond Nokia, Reuters also lists Motorola (NYSE: MOT), Dell, Cisco (NSDQ: CSCO) and Hewlett-Packard as potential suitors. Palm's stock jumped to a high of $17.50 today, gaining nearly 10 percent. The stock run up was likely fueled by takeover talks and word that the company was likely to have a successful secondary stock offering. But Palm also has a lot of short-sellers, who are betting that the stock price will decline.
For Nokia in particular, buying Palm may allow it to gain a foothold in the U.S., where it's faltered, but it wouldn't be cheap. Analysts claim Palm could sell for more than $3 billion, even though its annual revenue is less than $1 billion. At that price, Nokia may not be interested. Recently, the company said its strategy was to purchase young, small technology companies rich with talent.

Spamalot Reigns with Seven Olivier Nominations
Editorial Staff • West End • 18 Jan 2007
Wickedly disappointing
Fellow transatlantic transfers Wicked and Avenue Q received just five nominations between them. Disappointingly for Wicked (and Idina Menzel) fans, who've been voting enthusiastically in Whatsonstage.com's audience-decided Theatregoers' Choice Awards, the show is not up for Best New Musical and doesn't figure in any Olivier performance categories. All of Wicked's nominations are for the US-based creative team: Best Director (Joe Mantello), Best Set Design (Eugene Lee), Best Costume Design (Susan Hilfterty) and Best Lighting Design (Kenneth Posner).
None of Avenue Q's cast or creatives figure in the shortlists, although the show is up against Spamalot - as well as Tony Kushner's Caroline, Or Change and Porgy and Bess, Trevor Nunn's reworking of the Gershwins' 1935 jazz opera – for Best New Musical.
Spamalot's closest contender in the musicals race is the much smaller-scale revival of Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George, which transferred from the 150-seat Menier to the West End last summer. It's up for six awards, including Outstanding Musical Production, Best Actor and Actress in a Musical (Daniel Evans and Jenna Russell), Best Director (Sam Buntrock) and Best Design (David Farley and Timothy Bird, who have already triumphed at the Evening Standard and last year's Critics' Circle Awards for their computer-generated animations).
Andrew Lloyd Webber's sell-out production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music is also up for Outstanding Musical Production, but that's its only mention, with nothing for its How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? star Connie Fisher, a two-time Whatsonstage.com nominee.
In any other year, Fisher would have been a shoo-in to make the Best Actress in a Musical race, but this year that's one of the fiercest, and biggest, categories. In addition to Spamalot's Waddingham and Sunday's Russell, Evita's Elena Roger, Caroline, Or Change's Tonya Pinkins and Porgy and Bess' Nicola Hughes complete the field. Best Actor in a Musical has just four nominees - Porgy's Clarke Peters and Evita's Philip Quast as well as Spamalot's Curry and Sunday's Evans.
Miller vs Stoppard
Amongst plays, the Royal Shakespeare Company's revival of Arthur Miller's The Crucible and the Royal Court's world premiere of Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll lead the pack with four Olivier nominations apiece. Yet again Rock 'n' Roll is in contention for Best Actor and Actress (Rufus Sewell and Sinead Cusack) and Best New Play, while, as in the Theatregoers' Choice Awards, The Crucible competes for Best Revival, Best Actor (Iain Glen) and Best Director (Dominic Cooke – the third and final entry in a slimmed down category this year).
For Best New Play, Rock 'n' Roll faces competition from David Harrower's Blackbird, Conor McPherson's The Seafarer and Peter Morgan's Frost/Nixon. Michael Sheen and Frank Langella, the title stars of Frost/Nixon, lock horns off stage as they're nominated individually for Best Actor, in a category that also fields Donkeys' Years David Haig. Others in Best Actress competition, alongside Rock 'n' Roll's Cusack, are Evening Standard winner Kathleen Turner (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Tamsin Greig (Much Ado About Nothing) and Eve Best (A Moon for the Misbegotten), who won last year's trophy for Hedda Gabler.
Old Vic acknowledged at last
Eve Best's Best Actress nod is one of three for A Moon for the Misbegotten and the Old Vic, which was completely ignored in last year's Oliviers. Though still, notably, there's no nomination for Best's leading man and Old Vic artistic director Kevin Spacey, who's the Theatregoers' Choice Best Actor front runner for a second consecutive year. Moon is also nominated for Best Revival and Best Performance in a Supporting Role.
With such a strong year in the West End, particularly for musicals, London's subsidised houses don't dominate in the same way that they often do in the Olivier nominations. Nevertheless, there are strong showings for: the National Theatre with nine nominations (for Caroline, Or Change, The Seafarer, Therese Raquin, The Voysey Inheritance and Waves), the Donmar Warehouse with five (Frost/Nixon, The Cut and Don Juan in Soho), the RSC with five (The Crucible), the Royal Court with four (Rock 'n' Roll) and the Tricycle with two (The 39 Steps including Best New Comedy). Odd man out this year is the Almeida with no nominations.
In Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre, the category for Off-West End members of the Society of London Theatre, which runs the Oliviers, the Young Vic makes the shortlist just two months after its reopening, with a nod for Dennis Kelly's play Love and Money in its new Maria studio, while east London's Theatre Royal Stratford East is nominated twice (for its production of Pied Piper and for "a powerful season of provocative work, reaching new audiences"), and actor Roy Dotrice is named for his performance in The Best of Friends at Hampstead Theatre.
Scores on the doors
Spamalot (seven); Sunday in the Park with George (six); Cabaret, Porgy and Bess and Caroline, Or Change (four each); Evita and Wicked (three each); The Boy Friend (two); Avenue Q, Sinatra and The Sound of Music (one each). Other big openings – including Dirty Dancing and Daddy Cool - are omitted.
Multiple play nominees stack up thus: Rock 'n' Roll and The Crucible (four each); A Moon for the Misbegotten, Donkeys' Years and Frost/Nixon (three each); Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, The Seafarer, The 39 Steps and Therese Raquin (two each).
This year's Olivier Awards comprise 23 categories. The occasional field of Best Entertainment is not included in the 2007 Awards. As with the past three years' format, the awards ceremony, which takes place on Sunday 18 February 2007 at the Grosvenor House Hotel, will not be open to the public and will not be televised.

Pete is banned for life because he bet on baseball. That happened as manager, but he didn't become a compulsive gambler when he took that job. The guy was a lifer at the track and with several sports bookies throughout the country. It would really surprise me if he hadn't bet on baseball while playing too. As one psychologist said back when he got banned, gambling addicts need to bet all the time and there was always going to be a time when he didn't have other venues to satisfy his addiction. He liked to go to the track a lot, but at some point he would have certainly found himself with no other satisfactory betting options outside baseball. Secondly, gamblers gravitate towards action where their knowledge and experience may give them an advantage. An addicted gambler who happens to have a photographic memory of every at bat he ever had over a twenty year career, who had been to several All Star games, who was one of the best baseball players in history would certainly be very tempted to use that to get a leg up on his bookies. I have never seen any discussion of Pete betting on the game while he played, but I personally find it hard to believe he didn't.
As an aside, I'll mention that the Zimmer brothers were involved in some of the biggest money in local sports. Several guys in my dad's circle of friends talk fondly of playing baseball against the Zimmers, Pete's dad and many of the other legends of west side semi pro sports. These guys always mention the money and how much of it was at stake in these games. Pete is a product of that culture, as are many of my relatives and people I grew up with in Price Hill, Western Hills, Delhi. The west side was full of gambling action; the Crow's Nest, Trio Tavern, Five Points, Clearview, Sportsman's Cafe and several others were all places to easily find access to the book. Pete's no different than so many others who gambled in Cincinnati, he just has way more money to blow than others and subsequently it didn't leave him down on his luck. He had the means to be a prolific, sloppy gambler and a great source of revenue for a handful of bookies and middle men in Cincinnati, and countless others elsewhere.
Should Pete be in the Hall as a player? I am reluctant to say yes. He was hands down the most exciting ball player I have ever seen play the game (except for Raisor). He was everywhere, always in the thick of game changing moments, a winner molded from dirt, clay, spit and determination. He should be remembered as the heart of the Big Red Machine and rightly the things he accomplished are included in the HOF. Is that enough? I honestly don't know, but really I've lost interest in it and wish he would just go away. Let me remember you for 1976, Pete.

String Cheese Incident | Horning's Hideout Review/GalleryThe lowdown on SCI's triumphant return to Oregon's fest jewel, along with thoughts on future Cheese from Jason Hann.
I can't wait! We still have Hulaween and "a few dates sprinkled in here and there next year" I like what I am hearing even though full-on tour would be amazing you can't do it all and this makes it more feasible and builds everyone's anticipation. Spread cheesily!
Nice picture of the sandwich guy.
I had an incredible time that weekend. SCI has the best fans out there.
We had an awesome time at Hornings.I've been to all 21 Incidents at HH and I would say the ritual set on Saturday was the best ever from an eye candy point of view.SCI really came through with the goods.The band was on fire all 3 shows.The acoustic stuff with the MCcoury boys on Sunday was off the hook.Side project day on Thursday was a real treat.It was a true 4 day fest.I liked the addition of the side stages & thought it was a great idea that they were silent during the SCI sets
Good review of a magical event.Hoop to be back next year
The music never stopped this weekend! This was an incredible time, one of my favorite Horning's Hideout weekends I've had so far. The Saturday second set festivities were superb and really brought back that feeling of the 2005 Saturday Horning's show, which was one of the most powerful experiences of my life for many different reasons.
I'm sure some assbag is just wetting his/her pants waiting to complain that Peak Experience wasn't there this year. I'll nip that in the bud with a happy STFU. The venue was awesome without Peak there, and if you are only there for the Peak stuff, you are there for the wrong reasons. JUST BE HAPPY THAT SCI IS PLAYING TOGETHER AGAIN!!
Once again... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
What's peak experience? Never seen SCI, not really up on their game. Had a chance to at bonnaroo once but I think I got stuck at superjam. Mistake right? I want to see em bad though. This sounded SICK! Oregon and the whole NW is beautiful. I can only imagine how ill this was.
It was really really really good. It's like partying on Endor.
Hate to say it to anyone who was not here but this was the highlight of the summer. Literally one of the greatest weekends of my life musically and spiritually. Great music all weekend including cheese, the colonel, toubab, the mccourys, beats antique and all side projects. Everyone threw down and threw down hard, I think they all knew how special the weekend was. So many smiling faces all weekend, couldn't have been any better. Hornings Hideout is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place for someone like me to go play for 4 days. THANKS CHEESE AND BOB HORNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Horning for Senate 2010.
yeah these guys just keep getting better and better, anybody know anything about the venue in virginia, it will be hard to top this but if there is anyone who can do it its SCI. Long live the cheese!
Wasn't there but i declare Festival of the Summer. Downloadding the sets when there up for free. I dont know what peak experience is but i bet its trippy background shit
Nice shots, Spady!
Thank you SCI and Bob Horning...I can't wait to see you crazy freaks out there next time! Go Apeshit!!!!
it truly is amazing how one band can create such a phenomenal group of fans. thank you SCI for everything and thank you Bob for your hospitality! see yalls next year! and HULAWEEN!!!
Great article but I need to clear some things up about the "20' tall wooden peacock." I was lucky enough to be asked build it for the show but alas, it was not a peacock, nor was it made of wood. Fuego, as we call him, is a 10' tall metal Phoenix. I know, it's Horning's and Horning's is synonymous with peacocks, but I tried my best to keep his feathers from touching at the top as a peacocks do. Also, since he was practically surrounded by fire, metal was the safest choice for a building material. Check out the "Fuego the Phoenix" webpage on my site www.tylerfuquacreations.com to see how we made him. You can also see Bob the Peacock (named after Bob Horning) on the site as well. Look closely at the feathers and you'll see the difference. Thanks for putting Fuego in the article and thanks for Brian Spady for taking such killer photos!

AKG K 701 & Purity Audio K.I.C.A.S Caliente
The AKG is a headphone that attracted my attention for no particular reason. It looks very clean in white with silver trimmings. The elegance of it is in the simplicity and classy design. The AKG Leather Headband is a Ferrari-like appeal. Yet, the microphone look of the open ear design reminds me of a Porsche Turbo's mean intakes.The fit of the headphone when wearing is perfect. There is no substitute. These headphones have a gentle clamp. As soon as I opened the box and actually saw them in person, I immediately noticed how "large" and "light"—I soon realized why they are made exactly this way.
The AKG and the Caliente are similar: You get what you pay for. I absolutely think the KICAS is a gorgeous amplifer. A beautiful piece of metal to look at, really. The feeling of the knob is firm and smooth, just like the finish on the amp. I like their approach to keep it clean & simple.
The sound signature of the AKG 701's is definitely not of a sharp or shrill headphone. Of course, it doesn't have that studio room bass. I think the word neutral is the best description. I love all types of music and the AKG always give a high-fidelity sound. Perhaps it is an acquired taste, or what I expected in a headphone. Obviously, expectations and experiences both are completely subjective. Yet, you can always form a good idea or opinion from others. Case in point, how I actually like listening to the subtleness of the bass in the music. A very realistic perspective; I can tell how hard the person is hitting the string and the noise evaporating just before another note. Acoustic guitar immediately lets you know you're listening to something special. That is why listening to Pink Floyd is great. The "unrealistic" soundstage of the AKG makes the music very interesting and real. I call it "trippy"; and undoubtedly deserves at least a listen. "Hey You" is a great example of all this….the strings, and the drums sound powerful, and when the electric guitar kicks in just as good. I remember when I first got the headphones I would tell myself, "I feel like I'm in a large room and I'm standing right in the center…and there is speakers all around the walls." It is these characteristics that make me really like these headphones. "Comfortably Numb" gives you that enveloping sound in your mind. "Wishful Sinful" is amazing. The violins sound so good, and all the instruments wonderful. "Touch Me", also by the Doors, lets the trumpets sing. What the Caliente does is make the music just a bit more smooth with a hint of luke-warmth. A subtle flavor with which music never really feels fatiguing, unless it really should. The AKG's can get loud but never distorted, it is a tempting crave. Whenever I felt the AKG's distant or uninvolving I simply turned up the volume. I listen at about 3 o' clock, and sometimes down to 11 o' clock. The flatness of these headphones make you critique and tailor your individual sound. I think this is an awesome pair of headphones that I really can't get mad at anything for. As the head time increased, the bass felt more textured and I learned to discern it more. I did 90% or burn-in on my head from the first day. I know that break-in was a factor with this amplifier. I can truly tell a difference in the bass now in comparison to the initial impressions, and it makes that small change very significant. The deep, deep bass is there with plenty of texture. It is articulate. And prominent, when need be. I think the amp slightly, and I emphasize slightly, rolls off the very extreme highs; which is something I appreciated. I also do not want to underestimate the transparency this amp brings. The highs are not intervened with or hindered (by other frequencies). The mids are always clear and present. The amp brings this unique lushness to the sound. I think the amp may seat you back an extra row, just in case. I think that extra row, the smoothness, beautfiul bass, and imminently, musicality is what makes the Caliente special. I would describe this setup as smooth, yet neutral and accurate, with a great soundstage for all real music. Songs like "A Brick in the Wall" have a nice weight and smooth sound, and Jim Morrison's voice sounds exactly as he wants to give it to you. So if you are wondering what my source is… L.A. Woman, The Wall & Dark Side of the Moon are a must.
Headphones and amps are truly a wonderful thing. It is a piece of art and craftsmanship. I enjoy the engineering and the concept of even wearing a pair of headphones. It truly lets you hear the pinnacle of the modern electronics. It is amazing what $500 can buy you. Each to his own really. I simply love to listen to Pink Floyd, the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Jazz, Live, sometimes I just listen to classical to imagine what actually experiencing Beethoven must be like. I love to listen to music, lie back on my amazing leather couch, and close my eyes.
…..and imagine a pair of Beyerdynamic T1's singing with tubes.

A new study (PDF) in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine examined 49 office workers, about half of whom said their desks were in windowless offices (or far enough away form windows so that they got no natural light), while the other, luckier half sat near windows and therefore got natural light. The authors had the workers answer a variety of self-report measures on sleep and physical well-being, and also outfitted some of them with devices that measured their activity levels, light exposure, and sleep patterns.
The results? The group that had access to natural light slept about 46 minutes more per night, had fewer physical problems, felt more vital, and appeared to engage in more physical activity (although this last difference wasn't statistically significant). Now, this was a pretty small study built off of a "convenience sample" of workers who volunteered to be studied, which isn't a totally ideal setup, and the researchers didn't look at certain other characteristics of the workers that could explain the observed differences (they did, however, check to see if there were any notable differences between the light and no-light groups, and there weren't).
But it's far from crazy to think that a lack of natural light could have negative health effects. As the researchers put it, "[e]xposure to light-dark patterns is one of the main environmental cues for circadian rhythms that influence approximately 24-hour biological, mental, and behavioral patterns such as sleep and activity." So if you don't get any light at work, try to at least get outside for a few minutes, at least until we know more about how this stuff works.
Oh, and happy Monday!

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a paltry 3-12 and Tuesday night's loss to the Suns didn't make matters any better. The only bright spot has been the Cavs center, who is having a fairly incredible season which is not going unnoticed by his coach. Byron opened his Tuesday presser with a simple and very true statement: "Andy Varejao was fantastic. Everybody else sucked tonight." You don't often hear that from a coach, but the video below proves it happened. Byron had some backup for his statement as Varejao is having a monster season averaging 14.1 points, a league-high 14.7 rebounds and 3.2 assists. Don't forget that he is shooting 51% from the field and 77.8% from the foul line. As for everyone else? Take it away Byron… H/T The Big Lead Article found on: Cosby Sweaters

Peru and Bolivia for 2014
Hi Rider,
I hope you don't mind us popping on here to say hello. As mentioned earlier in the thread we run some pretty amazing trips through Bolivia and Peru as well as further afield such as the trip that runs from coast to coast which is a bit of a longer journey. We'll be heading to the Sydney bike show so definately come up and say hi and we can answer any questions that you have. One of our staff lived and worked in Peru for several years based mainly in Cuzco and explored most of the country and a huge portion of that was on motorcycles rented in the area.
Its an incredible place to ride and the scenery is truly mind-blowing. The main thing is having something reliable and, depending on what you have planned, it certainly pays to be able to speak the language if you're heading away from the main centres. Our trips are one way trips so they do things like Lima to La Paz or the reverse, Atacama Desert (Chile) to Machu Picchu (Peru) and the coast to coast from Peru to Brazil and back. Our website shows the various trips we offer there and i'm sure there will be one there that may suit you. Groups are small in size but fully supported so that you can just focus on the riding and meeting others with similar interests. The majority of our trips are inter-country which gets rid of the hassle of crossing borders for you because it is taken care of by us and as others have said on the thread, arranging to take rental bikes across borders can be a headache.
The trips are relaxed so you ride at your own pace, there is always a support vehicle with you which means that you can ride just with the top box, a day pack and the rest of your luggage will be carried in the support vehicle. It makes the riding easier as there is less weight to throw around and means you can just enjoy the experience of being there. Our bikes are 2012/2013 BMW's (at this stage - they get updated every year) and they are all owned by us for that part of the world, well maintained and the support vehicle carries a wealth of spares in case they are needed.
So....depending on what you have in mind one of our trips could be perfect for you and we'd love to chat to you further about them. We are really proud of what we have achieved and really proud of our trips. We enjoy helping clients see parts of the world they have never been and the truth is the trips work. There is a real bonding experience with the others at the same time as being able to explore as you wish in the towns, etc. It can be like riding with a group of mates and if you have mates that want to ride the same trip as you then even better. You can relax and ride with you mates on good, reliable bikes and we take care of the rest.
Anyway, feel free to contact us with any questions or further info or visit our website and we'll be happy to help...

Experience with Peru Motors Arequipa
Back from a self guided tour (2 weeks in September 2014 with two rental bikes from Peru Motors, Arequipa) this evaluation should help people who intend to make similar trips with Peru Motors. We booked two bikes and accommodation in one package.
Accommodation was ok, mostly mid class hotels. Evaluation of the Motorbikes (BMW, new model GS 650F) is difficult: Beginning of the tour: During hand over, one of the bikes could no be started, clutch lever was broken, Lars changed the bike (1st time). End of day one: battery low, electric problems, just managed to reach the hotel. Lars delivered spare parts, repaired the bike by myself. Replacement of bike was not possible due rock slide blocked the main road, 2nd day bike stopped due broken alterator in the desert 100km from Nasca. We managed to reach the hotel in Nasca after 4 hours, broken bike was parked in the desert. Spend half day with organization. 4th day Lars organized a the replacement of the broken bike. 6th day the replaced bike sputtered in high altitude and motor stopps several times, lost confidence. 8th day: another bike was offered. With this 3rd bike I end the tour. Lars had no ideas what are the reason for this special problem. I found in the internet that other guys had still the same problem with this type of BMW (high altitude, long distances, over heating of petrol pump?). We are very frustrated about Peru Motors due low maintenance and low knowledge about their own bikes. Lars offered no compensation: I can not recommend Peru Motors at all. FYI: have done a lot of self guided tours with rental bikes all over the world but never had this bad experience.

I've done 3 trips with Compass, but no more. Not allowed. Can't recommend them highly enough. I see this is an old thread and you might have already done a trip, but the Andean Discovery is a cracker. And i don't know what that bloke is talking about taking bikes across the Peru Bolivia border, Compass are doing it all the time.

Originally written on The Hockey Guys | Last updated 7/24/12
By Rhys Richards (@RREsq) Last week, the Detroit Red Wings took the first step to address a thin defensive corps by signing restricted free agent Kyle Quincey to a two-year deal worth $7.55 million. After being selected by Detroit 132nd overall in the fourth round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, Quincey has scored 18 goals and 95 career points with Detroit, Los Angeles, and Colorado in four seasons. Quincey's 2010-2011 was shortened dramatically by injury. Quincey posted three points in 18 games with Detroit after being traded to Hockeytown from Colorado via Tampa Bay. He contributed 23 points in 54 games with the Avalanche last season. Quincey's most intriguing season was in Los Angeles in 2008-2009 after he was claimed off waivers from a cap-strapped Detroit. The 26-year-old scored four times and added 34 assists in a career season with Los Angeles. His physical style of play and ability to chip in more than 25 points is exactly what Detroit likes about the young defenseman. Quincey ...

UO PvP was crap? You must've not been proficient at it. It required an understanding of swing and casting delays to be good at it. However, once you got the hang of it, it was quite fun. I had good times as a PK in that game.
Anyways, one of the problems is that I've yet to see developers design the game with the PvP in mind first, then shape PvE content around it. In other words, they focus on PvE first, and then when they start tackling PvP they run into issues with class balance and what not.
Another problem I found is that addition of a PvP and a PvE stat, i.e. resilience, hit rating, and the like. Before, you could obtain gear either through PvP or PvE. The gear was interchangeable, just different methods of obtaining it. However, I'm guessing because they wanted to increase time spent farming out gear, they forcibly drew a clear line between PvE and PvP gear. For example PvE gear having hit rating, and PvP gear lacking it. Or PvP gear having resilience and PvE gear lacking it. There was also the issue that raiders generally had better gear compared to the PvP sets.
Honestly, I think if developers worried about class balance from a PvP perspective first then shaped PvE content around it, got rid of the line between PvP and PvE gear, and then put the gear on equal grounding, things would be in better shape.

PvP in DaoC was the first game to provide carrot on a stick PvP. It placed it in a nice safe little area away from everything else which led directly to battlemaps in other games. The buffs and rewards provided in DaoC led to the ladder/ranking systems in games today and since DaoC was gear based, it created the PvE for PvP gear crap we have today. It also created the zerg fest we have today as well along with the take the easy road mentality of taking an objective and then leaving it for the next without defending...just take take take for quick gain, gain made meaningless outside of the cheap carrot rewards they brought.
DaoC was the cause of todays problems because before DaoC, people PvPed for fun and the challenge. And no, I dont expect you to get it because if you think DaoC had great PvP, you had no real PvP experience before it. Freaking themepark PvP...gawd damn.

Played Asheron's Call from release in Nov 1999 till DAoC released in 2002 (and on and off over the years) but In my opinion DAoC style PvP is a helluva lot more fun, rewarding and feasible then the open world gankfests that games prior to DAoC featured. Theres a reason why games which featured Open World PvP have consistently failed (barring EVE) and thsoe that featured consentual PvP continue to dominate.
AC had 9 PvE white server and only 1 red PvP server.
UO didnt grow population until Trammel came along.
DAoC flirted with full open world PvP servers and 1 of those servers shut down within a year and the other was a ghosttown 6 months after it opened.
WoW's PvE servers always outhumbered PvP servers by a 2-1 margin.
I could go on and on but alas I won't because you probably still don't understand.

Sorry, but if you feel you must act like the only PvP options are FFA open world and hand holding themepark carebear PvP, its just more proof why the genre is what it is...games today are made for YOU...yet even YOU are complaining about it.
AC had 9 PvE servers that you could flag on and partake in when YOU wanted to PvP and not one single battle in that crapfest that was DaoC could match the skill level of PvP in AC1. Guess thats why Hybernia protested in MASS for the imbalance and being ignored.
UO may not have grown until Trammel came along but it still had MORE PLAYERS THAN DAOC EVEN BEFORE TRAMMEL!
WoW, WoW is DaoC on roids, crap PvP carrot on a stick designed for people that need something shiney to do something...which, BTW...even had PvP going on the PvE servers.
You could go on, but you still havent said a thing to defend the crapfest that was DaoC, a game that wasnt even the fourth most popular MMO of its time...EQ1, UO, SWG...and Lineage all had more players...and how many games after DaoC chose to go the "lets place 3 factions at war in closed off areas and have them fight over neverland" route? Oh yeah...all around crap.

The largest problem with PvP is the player. We just don't agree on what makes it good. Some people swear by EVE and its PvP. Others still herald DaoC as the best. People yet still swear that UO was the best. The numbers outright show that WoW is the most popular PvP created in MMO space. I think that, in WoW's special case, that has more to do with the variety of player and PvP styles it caters to. Thats the big thing, we all disagree on what PvP is most fun. Even in a genre dedicated to it, FPS, we cannot agree. I hate most objective matches, but love TDM and Hardcore. But, obviously, there are enough people who do like things like Kill Confirmed because its still present.
For MMO gaming, I like my PvP mostly slower paced. I like for what I'm doing to matter more than my reaction speed. I also like interactions on my terms more than I like PvP "battlegrounds" any day. Random awesome PvP moment is always more fun to me, especially if it held meaning. Like a guy that killed my while I was harvesting ore, and I come back to take revenge. It also makes those moments where you save an enemy matter more too. Its something I wish more MMO's would embrace. Yes i can kill the other faction, but let me heal em too. Let me forge those bonds in the field, or break them. It makes the PvP a choice, and choice always feel better.

I think alot of the problem is people use PvP as a catch all term when it can mean very different things.
To me, 'pure' PvP you can kill anyone, anywhere (mostly). IMO, not very fun. It becomes gank fests where you have to join a large guild to survive or be crushed by everyone. You are forced to sometimes team or submit, not to win; but to survive. The kiddies who play the most and can act out how ever they want with no real concequences try to ruin the experience for everybody else for their personal pleasure.
DAOC introduced RvR...call it PvP lite or what ever. It was forced TEAM based PvP with limitations. IMO, this was the most fun because it forced you to work together in a community (ie what we have been missing!) withen a set of boundries/rules to win. It is a team based sport. Winning as part of a team is much more fulfilling. Knowing you had to get so many different people from different places all faced the same direction and moving together built that community people want...and winning cemented it together.
WOW pvp (and many games since) all feature variations on PvP-lite, but NOT the team based RvR. While I often enjoyed the open world pvp in WoW, the battlegrounds, arena's and other such events quickly sucked the fun right out of the game. It became all about the grind for the next level of gear...because gear > all.
For DAOC, ToA messed up the gear progression. Pre-toa the best gear was crafted 100% masterwork, though generally most people ran 99% due to the time/cost of 100. You MIGHT have a few drop pieces (jewerly) but all your armor and weapons generally where crafted. Maybe a drop from dragon or raid etc. ToA added a whole new level of gear that you had to participate in or you lost. But even after completing ToA (I was full suit, ML10) half of my armor and weapons where crafted, not dropped.
For CU, their needs to be a hard gear cap. That is obtainable, with effort but not stupid amounts. Crafted gear would be the best. Then, as a newly minted character with a good base set of gear you are competative. Sure, you don't have all the neat tricks, toys and abilitites that an experienced character does, but your not instant dead due to them having twice your hitpoints and half the cast time on spells, all due to gear progression. A group of newly minted characters in good crafted gear should be a force to be reconed with, not a speed bump.
And their need to be concequences for LOSING in PvP (RvR). A wait, a long run back, losing a keep or relic. Something. In WoW etc, people stopped caring about trying because their was no concequence for failure.

It's not about appealing to FPS players. I was pretty much exclusively an FPS player before DAOC and DAOC's RvR sucked me in and I for the most part haven't played FPS games since 2001.
If anything, it's the reverse problem. Companies try too hard to make their PvP/RvR systems appeal to players who don't really enjoy fighting (and especially losing to) other players. That's how you get games like WAR or GW 2 and probably TESO where the focus is on fighting keep gates and there's minimal or no progression or the only progression is gear.
Taking empty keeps and earning shiny armor is what makes PvP appeal to non-PvPers but as we've all seen it also makes PvP suck.

"Free crack and everybody gets laid."
This is turning into a 'My Dad is better than your Dad' sort of thread, except substitute Dad for MMO.
But anyways, here's my quick take on things: The diehard DAoC fanboys loved the structure of DAoC. They think its the best. But of course they think its the best because they were playing it. If they didn't think its the best, they wouldn't be playing it.
Likewise, a person playing WoW arena and getting rank 1 season after season will say that WoW arena is the best. Additionally, an EVE player that has been a part of hundreds of battles with other Corps will say that EVE's pvp is the best.
So simply saying your game is the best isn't really going to verify that claim. I think there should be other factors to look at, like how popular the game was, how long did it maintain its subs, how happy were the players with the devs, ect.

Just realized - its like an argument between sports fans:
One guy says hockey is the best sport. Another guy says basketball is the best sport (but only college basketball!) and other guy says soccer (football) is the best sport.

Nobody really loses anymore, almost impossible to make misakes, don't really have to think much about character building if at all, everything is instant gratifcation, you can do most things without ever talking to other players, theres rarely any place for new players because "pvp" just grinding stronger gear . . .
I'm just gonna stop I could keep going all day.

Wild and Woolly Video is closed as of March 23rd 2015. All movies have been sold.
Thanks for 18 great years !
Our remaining Tshirts are for sale at Shirtkiller.com
Our building at 1021 Bardstown Rd is currently for rent
To all the customers, friends, and family of Wild and Woolly Video:
Due to the current state of the video industry, and the corresponding financial outlook for Wild and Woolly, as well as my desire to pursue a different career, I've decided to make March 23rd (our 18th anniversary) our last day in business. We will start selling off our amazing collection of movies on January 26th. We will keep renting movies through March 15th, but as of today we will no longer be signing up new rental customers. We will honor all gift cards through March 23rd.
I plan on renting out the building for at least a year, or possibly selling it to the right buyer, so if anyone has any serious interest, please contact me.
In some ways this was an easy decision to make, as our business has been declining for several years, and while still profitable, it is no longer sustainable in a format that makes sense for the store or for me.
I am also just ready for something different. I've been taking Pilates classes for a couple of years due to a shoulder injury, and they've really helped my shoulder as well as my overall health. But I've also gotten deeper into studying this method of exercise, and learning about Joseph Pilates, the man who invented it.
So once the store closes, I'm planning to spend at least a year studying to become a certified Pilates teacher, and look forward to helping other people who've been injured or just want to lead healthier lives.
But, thinking about all of the great customers and employees- now that part made this a hard decision.
But in the end, I've chosen what I think is best for me and my family.
So my family and I thank you for all of your years of love and support and for keeping us around a lot longer than I could have ever imagined. Our customers are incredible and it's amazing how many people are no longer just customers, but are truly our friends.
Thanks especially to all of the people who work at the store-we would have closed the doors a long time ago if it's wasn't for the awesome people who work at Wild and Woolly.
