The therapists at Focus for Living have been trained in a number of psychotherapeutic approaches to include: Cognitive-Behavioral, Family Systems, Solution Focused & Brief Therapies, Play Therapy, Neurotherapy, & Biblical Christian counseling. Our therapists hold board certifications in addition to state licensure in several areas of clinical practice & have extensive experience in individual & group mental health counseling in private practice, inpatient, & outpatient mental health facilities. Our clients are thoroughly assessed - physically, emotionally, cognitively, relationally, & spiritually. We individually tailor treatment plans to help clients achieve their goals for counseling.
Counseling is an excellent opportunity to learn about your strengths and to explore what you really want out of life and relationships. As an interactive, cognitive behavioral therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients find solutions to address current life challenges as well as long standing issues. Using a variety of techniques in a comfortable atmosphere, I offer highly a personalized approach tailored to each of my client's individual needs. We will work together to attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing. Together, we will work to increase awareness of your strengths, identify purpose and achieve identified goals.
Sometimes life is painful, and sometimes you get stuck in the pain. Getting help from a psychotherapist can help you resolve the issues that are keeping you stuck so you can feel like the "self" you want to be. I help you change your patterns of thinking, behaving, and feeling so you can live a life of peace, pleasure, and joy. Your Tomorrow Can Feel Better Than Today
The benefit of psychotherapy with me is the type of conversation we have in treatment. Clients find that when they discuss their preferences rather than their dissatisfactions they quickly find ideas that lead toward solutions. My type of psychotherapy is to allow you to be the expert on your life by asking about your hopes and desires in solving the issue that brought you to treatment.
I believe the basis for a good therapeutic environment is respect. I provide counseling in a safe, compassionate, and non-judging manner. I work with clients to help them evaluate their choices. I encourage them to be conscious of any negative thinking patterns that may be resulting in low mood, self-sabotaging/self-destructiveness, or other negative consequences. After a thorough assessment, together, the client and I, decide on appropriate treatment goals.
Psychotherapy helps the patient understand what helps them feel positive or anxious, as well as accepting their strong and weak points. If people can identify their feelings and ways of thinking they become better at coping with difficult situations. Psychotherapy is commonly used for psychological problems that have had a number of years to accumulate. It only works if a trusting relationship can be built up between the client and the psychotherapist. Some forms of psychotherapy include forms of communication, writing, artwork, drama, narrative story, or music. Solutions Counseling uses many of these techniques to help you overcome what is bothering you.
For many clients, Brief Therapy is the most correct treatment response because it is very efficient, economical and effective. After all, your paying for benefits, not counseling services. My approach usually focuses on solving identifiable problems, setting realistic goals, designing interventions, and examinimg progress and outcomes. Shorter therapy is often the best way to go.
My emphasis is on helping clients deal with whatever problems are foremost in their daily lives, right now. While I can, and will, deal with issues related to the past, I believe most people are looking to solve current problems and move on. In taking that focus, I sometimes investigate the dreams people are having, because current dreams are always attempts to solve current problems. I always look for a client's strengths, and try to use them to help the client figure out what he or she needs to do now.
Therapy can be a scary thought, seeking guidance from a complete stranger can be intimidating; therefore, it is important that you find someone that is warm and unconditionally accepting. Only a mentally strong person can realize when they need an objective perspective to assist in the reconstruction of their current emotional pain to an improved emotional state. I want to congratulate you on taking the first step to investing and affirming yourself. I look forward to assist you to a better quality of life through a warm and non-judgemental approach.

Keep seeing CA plated 450X's
What's the deal? I haven't had a chance to pull up next to someone in the parking lot and find out how they did it. Now of course we wouldn't break any laws, but there are too damn many out there to not be a simple way to get one plated.
After piecing together research from the interwebs, it looks like the way to do this legally is to buy the bike in another state that has a plate on it. Make sure the CA legal goodies are attached (blinkers, left mirror, taillight etc. etc.) and bring the title to your DMV or AAA office(must be a member, obviously). Apparently they look at it like it's a "motorcycle" transfer, and not a "dirt bike" transfer because it currently has a plate. You must tell them the bike has over 8,000 miles on it and you walk out with a plate.
I understand we run the risk of the plate being called back at any given time.
If there is no legal way to do it, like I suggested, feel free to tell me it isn't that simple. I realize I haven't been active long enough here to get inside on any secrets, but I'd be more than willing to buy many beers for someone who does give me the scoop.
It's illegal, buy a KTM.
Fooey. I see them everywhere :lol3
Orange county
Send my beer to 730 S Bridge St. Visalia CA 93277
A 10 pak of 14.7 oz Newcastle in cans will work.
Thank you.
P.S. don't believe me? Ask theGrinch. He knows.
Dude Budweiser? Really?
I'll take the Honda any day. Good motors those x bikes have. :clap
First of all AAA doesn't do out of state transfers on bikes AFAIK. If you are moving your residence the 7500 mile requirement does not apply, if not it does. And a CHP or DMV inspection is required for VIN verification and a 50-state EPA sticker must be on the bike. This last item is a stickler for anything not specifically registered with CARB for hiway use (street plated) here in CA.
The KTMs seem to be a whole lot easier to get plated too.
Ok Rick, I gave you the scoop, now where is my beer?
Answer me this. My friends tell me KTM's are no less reliable than any other dirt bike when maintained properly. Being I was into Evo's/STi's as a sprout, they compared it this way: KTM's are like Evo's, the Evo itself is not unreliable, it's the way people ride them that wears them out. I suspect that is accurate. For me, it means I am going to want to go a little newer ($7k for '09-10) to avoid the chances of getting that clapped out bike, as much as possible. I'm looking for the older guy that bought it new and took a few years to realize riding wasn't his thing. Those bikes aren't going for 5k in So Cal.
yes there are ways, but it's not something I'd ever post here....:wink:
Be smart, find a nice low hours used 450/525EXC WITH a plate, buy it.:deal
you will be much happier.
That's the scoop, I've earned my beer now.:lol3
For everyone else, thanks for your input too! I'll be back with pictures
It's hard to compare my X to a KTM because the people we ride with on KTM's either can't keep up or quit half way through the ride.:lol3
If you bring an Arizona plated bike to Cali it must have an odometer that shows more than 7500 miles on it, you have to have the original emissions sticker on the rear fender with the engine vin number on it. Not just the noise emission sticker, there are two. Still your gonna need lots of luck and a moron that works at AAA.

Question from ejaypogi
Where can I find (Rathalos Wing)?
Can i find one in Elder Quest 6*?
i need it badly for my rathalos soul helm..
6 years ago
And then how about the azure rathalos quest?

Top Voted Answer
I'm afraid that breaking the wing doesn't really help. What you should do is just kill the Rathalos and hope for a wing. Breaking the wings will get you Fire Wyvern Claws and normal Wyvern Claws. If you want a wing, capture for a 8% chance of obtaining a wing. From a high rank Rathalos, the chances are:
5% chance from carving the body
8% chance from capturing for 2X Rathalos Wing
0% chance from a G-Rank Rathalos.
Information based on a carve guide not made by me.

Yes u can when u first saw the rathalos together with a rathian in a "troublesome fair" in the elder

For "Azure Rathalos Wing", keep hitting both wings of Azure Rathalos until they break :)
6 years ago
Destroy all the breakable parts of a rathalos and then catch him to raise the chances to get rathalos wing.
if u dont got it in the 1st try, try again and again.
hope this helps.....

Break its wings and you will get six like what i get

Break rathalos wings and DONT EVEN DIE to get 1 or 2 in the reward.
6 years ago
Break rathalos wings with super pound or GS charge to break its wings easily
Hope that helps. Happy Hunting my friend :)

The easiest way to get rath and azure rath wings is to break all their body parts (cut off tail as well) and then capture them. Using this method i got a wing every 9 out of 10 times. And you can get them from elder 6* and above or GH HR3 (5*quests) and above THE 2* QUESTS WON'T GIVE YOU WINGS. Hope this helps. good luck
6 years ago
for the Azur Rathios wing i agree with breaking its wings, u could get it from the reward after the mission but its not garenteed. so u might have to fight it over a cuple of times. oh and try doing what strategyguru said to do. ur chance of getting the wing will go through the roof.
6 years ago
Oh, and the Azure Rathalos mission will bag you Azure Rathalos Wings, just as the Silver Rathalos will bag you Silver Rathalos Wings.
6 years ago
Hit both wing till broke, cut tail, break head. use luck booster(ioprey armor, 3rd type, pink colour) get big love from pig and capture. biger chance to drop
6 years ago
If you want get rathalos wing, just captured high-rank rathalos and i,m sure you get many of rathalos wing.
6 years ago
To get the Rathalos wing you must break both of his wings then capture him for more you could also try same method for azure Rathalos. I also recommend either a cutting weapon with ice damage or a impact weapon with more than green sharpness to break his wings.
6 years ago
Start to Farm Them then, and Yes, you do find them at both Rathalos.
But more likely to have Azures I think.
6 years ago
Elder quest 6* quest will net you rathalos wings.
Rathalos wings are rather rare to get in village chief's quests (aside from "troublesome pair). it's not as hard to get as "rathalos plate" or above so try capturing a rathalos in "troublesome pair" quest and you'll eventually get one or 2 in the reward. (try to break it's wing claws in the midst of the battle)
Hunting (slaying/ capturing) azure rathalos will also drop rathalos wing in quest rewards at times.
6 years ago
Its easiest in the gathering hall 5* quest with azure los. break everything on him and capture him to boost your chances of getting azure rathalos wing.

Wooden houses
Favorite thing: There are so many wooden houses with carved window frames. They are so pretty and a lot of them concentrate in one area which makes a pleasant walk. The good thing is that they can still be found in the center of the city or very close by within walking distance.
Fondest memory: This is probably the rural touch of the city with its wooden architecture as well as the cats and dogs that I encountered while exploring the city.
Favorite thing: As in many other cities in the Former Soviet Union, the government destroyed a number of old churches in the city including two that had existed since the 17th century. However, Tomsk managed to retain some of its churches by creating alternative uses for them such as machine shops, warehouses, archives, and even residences. Since the end of communism, some of the churches have been renovated and handed back to their congregations.
- Religious Travel
Houses in wood
Favorite thing:
Tomsk is well-known for its (gingerbread) carved wooden houses. The quantity of these wooden houses is constantly decreasing due to fire and new construction.
Fondest memory: Tomsk est célèbre pour son architecture en bois. Dans la «Vieille Ville», on peut voir beaucoup de maisons ornées de gravures sur bois. Ayant le statut de monuments historiques, elles se trouvent sous la protection de l'Etat Russe. Tomsk est aussi le centre culturel de la Sibérie où il y a beaucoup de théâtres. Tomsk attire, tel un aimant, les plus remarquables personnalités de son époque
- Architecture
- Museum Visits
- Historical Travel
Favorite thing: Tomsk a toujours été le centre éducatif et scientifique de la Sibérie. C'est à Tomsk que la première université sibérienne a été fondée en 1880. Actuellement, un habitant de Tomsk sur six est étudiant. Les industries-clés sont la pétrochimie, l'usinage des bois, les constructions mécaniques, la production des métaux, l'électrotechnique et l'industrie alimentaire.
Tomsk was always the center educational and scientific of Siberia. It is in Tomsk that the first Siberian university has been founded in 1880. Currently, an inhabitant of Tomsk out of six is a student. The industries - key are the petrochemistry, the machining of woods, the mechanical constructions, the production of metals, the electrotechnics and the food industry
Fondest memory:
Tomsk has a number of prominent universities:
Tomsk State University is the first university in Siberia (founded in 1878, opened in 1888). The prominent Tomsk State University library book reserve is considered to be among the richest in Russia.
Tomsk Polytechnic University which opened in 1900 is the first technical university in Siberia.
Siberian State Medical University, one of the oldest and highest rated medical schools in Russia.
Tomsk State Pedagogical University
Tomsk State University of Architecture and Building
Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics
Tomsk Economics and Law University
Tomsk Institute of Business
Thanks to its strong university presence, Tomsk has become a center of the IT industry in Russia.

Firt times
Favorite thing: In 1604, the Russian tsar Boris Godunov ordered Cossack leader Gavril Pisemsky and boyar son and strelets officer Vasiliy Tyrkov to found a fort on the Tom River in place where its small right tributary Ushayka River flows into it, on Tatar land, to protect the river crossing and Eushta population from Kalmyk and Kyrghiz tribes. It became important as a military center for pacifying the native people and evolved into a regional administrative center. Beginning in the late 1830s, its population grew quickly thanks to the intensifying gold-mining activity in Siberia.
- Historical Travel
Favorite thing: Tomsk fut fondée en 1604 pour protéger la Russie des invasions kalmoukes et kirghizes venant du sud, par les montagnes de l'Altaï. Les cosaques écrivirent les premières lignes de l'histoire de la ville en repoussant à maintes reprises les envahisseurs tout au long du XVIIe siècle.
Tomsk was founded in 1604 to protect Russia from the invasions kalmoukes and kirghizes coming from the south, by the mountains of the Altaï. The Cossack wrote the first lines of the history of the city while repulsing the invaders time and again all along the XVIIe century.
- Seniors
- Disabilities
Soviet architecture
Favorite thing: In Tomsk you will find all the contrasts right in the city center. Huge Soviet style buildings next to tsarist architecture and close to the traditional wooden houses.
Anton Chekhov
Favorite thing: Ironical monument to Anton Chekhov who visited Tomsk on the way to Sakhalin and mentioned it in his diary unfavourably...

30 year old man | South Lake Tahoe, CA, USA | Seeking women 18-31 within 50 miles
Disco is dead. Why don't people don't like to dance anymore?
I am smart, funny-ish (to me at least), I love adventure, I'm outgoing, and I'm loyal. But I can also be a bit messy. I travel a lot (Why won't anybody go to Qatar with me??). I love flavor. I appreciate luxury and being waited on, but I love to rough it when there's a sense of adventure to it. I change my mind often and love spontaneity. I care about utilizing the time I have on earth to make a positive difference in the world around me, and to enjoy as much of the diversity that life throws my way as I can. I know the most amazing people in the world, and I can introduce you! I love to read, and am quite torn over whether to use my kindle or to browse the isles at the book store. When I get bored, I surprise myself. My close friend are more important to me than anything. Except for maybe my dog. I'm looking for someone who gets my jokes. I appreciate intelligence. I like conversations to flow smoothly. I'd like to meet a woman who knows whats going on in the world and has her own opinions about it. I like adventurous people. Oh, and have you ever heard of Burning Man..? Sort of a (bi)polar north in my life... And I would really like to settle down with a Laker fan. If your into either the Red Sox or the Celtics, I won't date you. Email me if you share my interests. I'm always happy to meet like souls. Funny and unique subject lines will ensure my attention. Winks are very uninspiring.

I love the Lakers. I am die hard fan. I tailgate before Angels games. I am a news junkie. I scour the internet for hours a day so I know whats going on in the world. I listen to every genre of music except country. I like to travel. And extra bacon.
I like taking my dog to the beach or for a paddle around the bay. I watch sporting events (live or on tv). I read. I play tennis. I climb things. I jump off things. I travel. I dine out. I search for the novel. I bbq with friends. I drink.

Van Richards, In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Van Richards. Van was most recently our Grants Associate in the Advancement Department of TQS. Formerly he was the Director of Development 2005-2008. Above all, Van was a great loyal fan and generous supporter of TQS. He will be warmly remembered for his kind heart, great sense of humor and dedication to our school. Van dreamed big for our school; his aspirations will continue to be reflected in our work going forward at TQS.
Unlocking Learners, Building Leaders
Whether they've fallen far behind in school or are experiencing social difficulties, students with learning challenges and learning differences find a place at The Quaker School (TQS). Our Friends school in Horsham provides a sense of belonging to diverse learners who may have felt like outsiders in other schools. At TQS, a learning team is established for every student enrolled. Our experienced professionals analyze each child's diverse learning challenges, design an individualized plan, and invite the family to be part of the solution. Our research-based programs are carried out in a caring and supportive Quaker environment. A student who hasn't been appreciated for his or her unique gifts in the past will unlock hidden potential at TQS.

What makes our Signature Journeys so special?
We're passionate travelers, anxious to share our joy and passion with each of our guests. Each year we personally host 5 or 6 Signature Journeys, we have done so for over 15 years. Over those years we've traveled with our guests to every continent so when we craft a new Signature Journey, we do so based upon first-hand experience.
We want you to experience the richness of a destination, to meet the people (often in their homes) and to enjoy the best that the region offers. We take pride in securing special privileges and private invitations for you that are unavailable to others.
We avoid the trappings of typical group travel: crowded buses, inflexible group dining, large groups (our groups typically number 18 guests or less) and matching flight bags that signal to everyone that you are tourists. Rather, you are our guests and that's the way we like to host your travels.

On board the Crystal Serenity
A 2015 Signature Journey hosted by Paul and Christine Niskanen
Amazing China: the Terra Cotta Warriors, Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong
By land and aboard the 5-star Crystal Symphony.
March 27 – April 11, 2015
Join us as we explore a mighty country with one foot in their rich historical past and another firmly planted in the future.
When we see the amazing Great Wall that snakes into the distance over the hillsides, we remind ourselves this impressive old structure would reach from coast to coast in the USA. And then there's the amazing legion of Terra Cotta Warriors and the nearly 10,000 rooms in Beijing's Imperial Palace.
On the other hand, we'll see the forest of futuristic new skyscrapers built by the world's foremost architects, the high-speed trains that connect vast areas of the country and all the other modern developments.
We've selected fine hotels and restaurants where hospitality is an art. Photographers will fill their memory cards and shoppers will find themselves filling their credit cards.
Our ship, the Crystal Symphony, is outfitted to care for less than a 1,000 pampered guests. The remainder of the space is devoted to our comfort including at least five options for exceptional dining, a well-equipped cinema, the latest spa and fitness facilities and much more.
A superb cruise on Portugal's Douro River and a week in a magnificent villa in Spain
April 21 - May 5, 2015
Hosted by Paul and Christine Niskanen
It's a pity that many travelers overlook Portugal; after all, the countryside is beautiful, the old architecture is rich and handsome and the Portuguese warmly welcome visitors. Late in April, as spring covers the hillsided with new foliage, we'll board a superb 106-passenger riverboat in the picturesque city of Porto. As the AmaVida sails up the beautiful Douro River Valley, steep vine-covered hillsides line both sides of the river. Along the way we'll be welcomed by a family at their wine estate, watch flamenco in Spain's Salamanca, dine in a picturesque monastery, taste superb port wines and even visit a beautiful palace belonging to the Mateus family.
Next we'll fly to Barcelona to spend a delightful week in one of the most beautiful villas we've ever seen. This stunning place which dates back to the 15th century took more than 30 years to restore. The time was well spent because Mas Torroella is a jewel. Overlooking the distant Mediterranean, the villa's spacious rooms have been designed for comfort.
For a week, the villa is our home. We can wander into the kitchen to speak with the chef, take a refreshing dip in the heated swimming pool, soak in the indoor thermal spa pool or even take an authentic Finnish sauna. From our comfortable base at Mas Torroella, we'll offer a rich buffet of excursions including Barcelona (from an insider's point of view), charming medieval villages and stunning villages situated along the sea. Along the way, we'll introduce you to Spain's rich way of life.
Before our brochure was published a number of rooms were booked – just a few remain. Reserve your room soon!
The Best River Cruise! A Signature Journey
May 26 - June 10, 2015

Hosted by Paul and Christine Niskanen
We love cruising Europe's rivers!
After all, we sail right through the heart of Europe, cruising through the picturesque countryside, close enough to shore to waive at the locals walking along the banks. When we arrive, we typically berth right in the heart of the city. We find our riverboats comfortable, well appointed and accommodating just 160 guests.
In addition to visiting well known places such as Vienna, Lyon and Budapest, Europe's rivers bring us to those out-of-the way treasures often overlooked by most travelers, places such as Miltenberg, Colmar, Bruges and Regensburg.
Our staterooms are comfortable, the food is good and the crew goes out of their way to take good care of us. Yet with all of this, we have often wished for a riverboat experience that was just a step or two more deluxe.
We found just what we were looking for.
As you read through the enclosed brochure we'll describe what we like about the exciting, new Scenic Opal and why we like its exceptional itinerary (not offered by others).
What has not changed are the amenities we offer our guests on a Signature Journey. We'll still meet you at the airport when you arrive, we'll be on board to assist in any way and we'll add our own little touches to make a good journey special. On this journey we've even included an extra day in beautiful Zurich when you arrive.
The downside? This ship is filling quickly (we're not surprised when you consider everything). We expect the ship to sell out soon. Don't miss the boat!
Across the Atlantic to New York City

A 2015 Signature Journey hosted by Paul and Christine Niskanen
Join us in The Netherlands as we explore the charming regions of Holland overlooked by most travelers. We'll begin with two evenings in a luxurious hotel in The Hague, the center of Holland's government. Our sights include picturesque villages, a special invitation or two, great dining and, of course, cheese and windmills. We'll even include a day in Amsterdam to visit, or revisit, your favorite sights.
We'll begin our journey crossing the Atlantic on board the fabled Crystal Symphony, the virtually all-inclusive ship that offers multiple ( and complimentary) options for superb dining, sophisticated entertainment, a myriad of activities on board (complimentary as well) and personalized service from the attentive crew. It's great, of course, to know that your drinks and gratuities are included in your fare.
Our ports of call include Edinburgh, where we'll enjoy a private excursion including a visit to a lovely couple for a 'wee dram'; followed by a day in the Shetland Islands. After an interesting port call in the scenic but seldom-visited Faroe Islands, we'll enjoy a full day in fascinating Iceland. While there we've created an excursion to show you the sights both in Reykjavik and in the picturesque countryside and, finally, we'll call on a local Icelandic family for a home visit. Fun!
After our first North American landfall in Sydney, Nova Scotia, we'll conclude our cruise in New York City without a trace of jetlag! And, what's a visit to New York without an evening of musical theater, just for us? We'll be sad to disembark but we're happy to have an easy flight home.
An Autumn cruise through the Mediterranean from Athens to Monte Carlo with nearly three days in Venice!
October 11-25, 2015 - On board Crystal Serenity

A 2015 Signature Journey hosted by Paul and Christine Niskanen
We love the Mediterranean in autumn. Summer's crowds have returned home, hazy skies give way to a deep blue, the temperatures are pleasant and the locals welcome our visit.
Even more: We begin in Athens where we board the lovely Crystal Serenity, a stunning ship. (Come early to Athjens for our optional 2-day visit.) We visit two picturesque villages in Greece and then cruise into the Adriatic Sea to visit a recently opened port in Albania, where we'll host one of our private Signature Journey excursions. Then we're on to Croatia's magnificent walled city of Dubrovnik and idyllic Split. Next, we'll enjoy almost 3 days in glorious Venice. Once again, one of our Signature Journey excursions takes us into the charming neighborhoods of Venice that most travelers never see.
More? After a stop in Kotor, Montenegro, we round the boot of Italy for Naples (and our private day in Sorrento), Rome (go with us on a food tour through Rome's neighborhoods), Livorno (for Pisa or Lucca or Florence or…?) before we conclude our voyage on the Riviera at Monte Carlo. What a journey!

This probably deserves a thread of its own.
Price hints Chapman could start in majors
Posted by jfay February 18th, 2010, 5:35 pm
New pitch coach Bryan Price spelled out the plan for Aroldis Chapman and at least hinted that the 21-year-old Cuban could start the year in the big leagues.
"There's no question that what's best is we do what is right for him in the long run. He could start anywhere. But we want to assess him and make sure it's the right place. Maybe it's in Cincinnati. Maybe it's somewhere else in our system. Turn him loose. Let him compete and see what he's all about."
What's the The Plan?
"The plan is to get him ready as we do, to get him acclimated to way we do things here both from a throwing perspective and strength and conditioning, which we introduced back in January. We're going to hone that and improve upon that.
"Then we're going to get him into ballgames and let him compete. I don't think there's any reason to say we've got any kind of perimeters on him. We all saw WBC games. We're looking forward to seeing him in regular games. There's nothing like watching guys with your own eyes and making assessments where he fits best."
Price is familiar with Chapman because the two worked together for a week in January. Thursday's session was more of the same.
"I saw what I've seen a few other times before. It's a live arm and he's ready to compete. I think this kid could go into a ballgame tomorrow and be ready to compete. He's extremely athletic. He's a quick learner. His stuff better now, at least in my opinion, than it was in WBC from a command and delivery standpoint. I'm looking forward to seeing him pitch and learn. He's going to have to adjust to way the hitters adjust to him. He's going to have to command the zone consistently and keep himself in good counts.
"There are certain things you can't answer until he competes . . . there's a lot of things we don't know about."
"Certainly, no one's in midseason form. One thing we try to do with Aroldis because he comes in with more ballyhoo than our other pitchers – kids that we really like – because he's from Cuba and comes in with nice signing bonus, we don't want him to do too much. Spring training is a process. We don't need to see him throw his best stuff."
Ramon Hernandez, who caught Chapman, was impressed.
"He throws hard," Hernandez said. "His command is pretty good. They told he might be a little wild maybe. I was surprised what I saw. He's got a lot to learn. But he's got a good change-up, good slider. He needs a little experience. I'm sure the coaches will teach him well. You're going to see him for a long time if he stays healthy."

'Malcolm and Teresa' has trouble finding heart of pair's connection
In early 1968, conservative British journalist Malcolm Muggeridge was asked to conduct a televised interview of an Albanian nun. He had never heard of her. The world did not yet know her. It soon would: Her name was Mother Teresa.
That's the setup in Cathal Gallagher's "Malcolm and Teresa," which is receiving its regional premiere at Christian-based Acacia Theatre Company in Mequon, in a production that opened Friday night under Elaine Rewolinski's direction. »Read Full Article
Neko Case's voice shines in an elegant, melancholy set
The human voice can be the most singularly beautiful musical instrument there is, but it's not hard to think of well-compensated pop singers who treat their instruments, or allow them to be treated, as if they were beside the point.

Re: Rift
Having a great time playing Rift still and started messing with it in beta 4. The classes are entertaining, lore is definitely there and the visuals are nice.
I thought after creating my 4th toon that I'd get tired of the same starting area but so far that hasn't really been the case. Just started a dwarf cleric over the weekend and got him to 15. That little guy is a beast in the warfront
I had to take a little break from my 43 nec\lock..I'm worried about hitting 50 and being bummed about it.
I went ahead and shut down the WoW and EQ2 accounts...think I'll be staying in Telara a while.
Now if the wifey will just stay interested in the game longer than a month or two....

MechWarrior Online: Razer Produces Awesome MWO Peripheral
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
The pieces do disconnect from each other. I remember seeing that either from the video about the Artemis or somehere on the concept/discussion page with razer on its Development. What I would love to see is that LCD screen in hte middle Be touch screen for cock pit controls/weapons selection or other states based on the controller. The controller yes designed for MWO in essence, is also being designed for other mech games that are supposed to be coming out according to the Razor Dev team. As for the STeel battalion shout out above, Love that Controller so much :) To bad they F'd up Steel battalion for the 360 and put it to that Kinect Garbage. But those of us who like new toys, will wind up buying the Atermis, I just want if there going to put a decent tab on it (which most likely they will) for them to get involved with it. With how cheap todays Tablets are, there is no reason you can't make that LCD Badass thats on it. Afterall if its going to be replacing my Saitek X 65 or my older x52, they better make it look worthwhile
Different Approach to make money for PWE/CS
General Discussion « Star Trek Online
Well the biggest problem with them creating factions is the IP holder... CBS.. Everything they do.. has to be cleared by them, Currently on the board is Romulan, after that Cardassians are slated. I mean you can make ferengi's You just dont fully have access to there ships as if they were a faction. But its only 2 years old.. Look how long Eve Online took to get where it is. There just limited by the current Engine they use.. Until they roll the new one there creating out.
Different Approach to make money for PWE/CS
General Discussion « Star Trek Online
I posted this on there forum a little while ago.
I understand the Lock boxes are a way of bringing NON FACTION ships into the game, What I do not understand is the way you are doing it. You started the test phase with the cardi boxes, Then the Ferengi. You were doing things right in the beginning by making tho prolly by glitch the GOLD boxes Tradeable. Locking this down I believe was a FAILED idea. The people who DID NOT want the gold boxes Were able to SELL it for EC to the people who DID WANT the Box. People are more willing to Spend EC on anothers GOLD BOX as well as Hard Earned CASH on Cryptic points for a MASTER KEY. I think with the GOLD BOX tradeable or taking the commonly dropped lock boxes out of the Dilithium mall and adding in the GOLD box instead you would make a more steady sale of the boxes. I remember someone previously said the REgular lock boxes were added and had the same drop rate as other items in the random drop Generator, I am not new to MMO's sir. If the lock boxes are truley added with a regular number to that generator and being UNCOMMON quality at that to, They should NOT be dropping more then COMMON quality Items. Now I have no problems Pushing Money into Keys, But if you want my money do it in an intelligent manner. I understand you need Resources coming in to support servers and programmer costs. But Most players in the SCI-FI genre are smarter then your typical Fantasy player groups. Alot of us are NOT casual gamers. But if the Developers treat us right, We are Very Loyal to the company. Offer us reasons to give us your money and we will. Get rid of the common boxes and just have the Gold boxes at a higher drop rate and make them Tradeable. This will remove the constant complaints of the box spam, while appeasing people wanting the gold boxes to open. If players know of a better box out there, There is more of a chance they will grind for that better box. Ditch the Mystery package also OR make the mystery package have the ability to Drop a GOLD box of any Current or PAST box offered. Make it a rare drop, not offered at the end of every mission or STF. If I get a Mystery box and opened it and say it popped me the opportunity of the past Jem hadar Attack ship, or galor, or in the future whatever. Theres more of a chance if I dont have that ship that I am gonna go and buy a Key to open it.

I own a GTO Judge, Sure it's fun to drive around and have everyone look at you. But it's even more fun to take the bitch out to a track or the lowly traveled road and burn it up against another driver seeing who wins. The Risk of flipping my judge, loosing control from a blown out tire at top speeds, having the engine blow out and catch fire, or in the worst case scenario trying tou get away with Motorolla chasing you (some will get that, Some won't)
In games I can either play your cookie cut MMO's that let me run around PVE, PVP with no risk and no danger, no true rush from the " Oh shit! That dude Fucked me up and almost made me loose my shit" or... Damn I died, eh :: Waits for 10 seconds to pass and presses respawn:: and go on blandly running dungeons again either Solo or if I suck with a group because the big bad monster might whoop my ass. Real gamers Want Risk vs Reward, We want to feel like we achieved something, we busted our asses Risked our shit and knew if we failed, which is not an option, that we goto pay more attention next time, study our opponents or mob (without looking at a Wiki or YOUTUBE video on how to succeed) we figure it out on our own, we take the risks and the challenge openly, throwing fate into the wind, If we win we get epic items, if we fail we get the challenge of having to reclaim our stuff either before someone else grabs it, or it vanishes. As much as I like the Rush of racing my vehicle. I also like the rush of a game I am playing. I personally don't like games that have no risk, theres no challenge. In PVP I know I just respawn and face a different opponent, in Real PVP I know that I better kill that dude/dudette or just like Life, If I die, well I just lost my shit. Without a challenge you are not truley playing a game, you are just going through the motions of a game. Some people like not having to have a risk, Just like some people like living in a free country without the urge to defend it's freedoms. They know well that theres some one else that will defend it for them and just leech off of society ranting and raving because of the first amendment not truley understanding the loss that occured to grant them that freedom. If everyone just went through the motions think where we would be today, and before anyone goess off about it, No I didn't Serve, not that I did not want to, I just was not accepted due to issues I had, But that does not mean I do not know the risk my friends in service take to give me the ability to play these games, rant and rave and troll the internet with freedom.
If you do not like games with a challenge or a penalty if you die, IT is and I say this with pissing off the community the fact that you can not survive the challenge offered to you. You are one of the gamers that want to live in a world where there is no risk, is no challenge, just a cookie cut life knowing if all fails, Well you know you have that security blanket to hug to keep the monsters that players and more difficult AI/NPC's offer, away.
Rant over... For now..
Haters is this corner v. fans in this corner
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
ummm So... Why isn't this in the Tor thread since it's Kinda about TOR.. Do ya see, I say do ya see what I'm talkin about boy? Besides It's the hater and Fanboy community that push PR for a game. Not one or the other. More people wind up checking out a game due to its contreversy, they want to see if it's as bad, or as good as people say it is. They will base there information about that. Just look at WOW for example you have an equal amount of people bashing it (and still play it............) and you have it's fan base that thinks it's the greatest invention since the planet Earth.... Both Sides Promote the game one way or the other through bad publcity and good publicity, Heres another example Movie wise, Look at how popular Twilight is, Now look away, now look at it again, now look away, now look back WOAH! It's female fanbase just quadrupled within that second.. It's male hate fanbase did the same, the movie, Gets the most immense PR for it. Another one, AVATAR... Reviewers originally panned the movie expect for it's visual effects. The Sci-Fi fanbase Blew it up! Everyone went to see that MotherFucker, wether because it was talked about by friends, made a promo on Bones, or because they wanted to see it's awesome 3D affects. In the end It's PR that people made that wound of making these things successfull. The same vs Old Star wars (which was better :P) Vs new star wars. It's younger fan base Promoted it, it's older fan base Panned it. Either way people went to see it, old and young.
Thats all for my rant today :P

I play Eve-Online for exactly the same reason. Risk, I go red/black name (back in the day before the game took a shit) In Conquer online, why to piss people off and challenge them to come at me, If I failed they had a chance to get my gear, if I won.. Well Sorry I just stole your XP :P. NONE of my friends who I have brought to eve mostly trying to get them off the WoW Train have stayed with eve. They wandered into low sec and one even wandered into 0.0 lol. ALL died and lost there shit. They were heated at the game and quit it right on that spot. Calling the Game B.S. It's no fair that a game has that much risk to it. "Real games, Real MMO's shouldn't make you loose your stuff. Look how awesome wow is. If I die I respawn and go back to fighting the dude that nuked me" I was like, hey I do the same thing in Eve, and if I can't do it alone.. Well either I choose to wait till I skill up better ... OR.... I grab a few Corp mates and chase him all over new eden :P Alot of players who try eve for a decent amount of time either wind up as a miner, a mission runner, or a market player. But they are also the same group that complains there is no challenge to the game, just the same old things to run. A select few who want something more, a challenge, or eves version of a rush, become Pirates, start a corp and Dec others, or go into 0.0 join a corp and get involved in territorial wars, or at least they go into low-sec and try to secure a moon and build a Pos there.
If there is no challenge to a game after a while the game starts to get stale. If you want a game where you feel you need your hand held, you want as little risk as possible, you want to make sure somebody doesn't piss in your cheerios There is Always Maple Story for you. For those of us that want a challenge, that want to feel like we accomplished something, for those of us that want to go Damn, I'm glad I stocked up on extra pots and even gladder that I didn't have anyone run up on the Boss that appears every 30 mins, and thank God that asshole did not make me have to PK his ass and go hide and hope to hell no one Ganks me and takes my shit. We challenge makers to add a difficulty factor to the game, wether it be Death penalties, Gear risk, or grinding for resurection scrolls. Each to his own, But were not Elitists, Well some of us are when in the right element. But were Gamers, not casual Ones, But true ones, There is no point of playing a game unless there is risk involved. Remember back in the Days when Consoles gave you 3 lives or you were Screwed (not counting Contra and its Konami code :P ) even Tetris has risks if you don't strategize that game, even the slightest mistake is making you start all the way from the beginning.

Much to my knowledge That offer is Limit 1 per customer from what I was told last night while working. Unless Best Buy Corp changes that Ideal you will if your in the top 10 on line, only be able to get 1. As of last night 11 p.m. here in NY people were already camping out at a few of the Long Island locations.
Edit: The other thing is, If they do decide to let people buy multiples of the LCD, You might deffinately get screwed if your not in like the top 5, Each BB location will have a maximum allocation of 10 units of the TV. I have not been informed if this deal will be made available online at all. But I know it's one of the Door Buster tickets we will hand out down the line before the store opens.

Besides its cheaper then running a T1 line to my house only 230 a month for the net bill and no ports blocked unlike when i had thevregular fios. But no i nor my fam nor friends have yet to dent it but we try lol. The one downside is i have recieved calls from vz over bandwidth abuse to which i told them to piss off i have a business account and its unlimited data but they still threatened to end the account if i abused the line lol. Apparently downloading multiple games, running three servers, three 360's and several servers and tablets is a form of abuse they bitched cause i did about 375 gb worth of traffic the first day i switched to the higher end speed and business account

Not even interested in Getting TOR, But I am kinda Itching to see what my Verizon Fios 150MB/35MB connection would download at :P BTW New York USA for Location :) Fiber Optic The only way to connect lol, can't believe back in the day I had a 28.8KB connection :P BTW Tech heads, found a Reciept for a Sony CRX I purchased back in 2000, 105 bucks, to think I can get a DVD-RW with Lightscribe now for 19 bucks is amusing at the least

I Truly understand where he is coming from tho with a cap on download rate. When I lived in Mesa, AZ I had Cox cable 20 down 7 up no cap. When I moved 3 blocks over Only option was to get sat for internet and There Rates are redic. Was gonna cost like 70 a month for a 1 mb down 368kb up and was capped at if I remember 2 gigs a month or you had to pay like 5-10 bucks per additional gig. I said Screw it and just lived without net, did what I had to do at the library. Couldn't get DSL or Cable Because Cable didn't run to the apt complex because they had a contract with DirecTv and DSL didn't run to the complex because of how old the lines were. So now I'm back in NY and man I love Fios lol

Good Deal on a kit. It's AMD based Could use a better PSU tho I don't remember the brand of my PSU cause I just bought the cheapest 650 I could find when mine died.
My Rig:
Just Can't remember who makes my PSU and to lazy to go under my desk and open the bitch up to check. But this PC has ran everything without a problem. Tho it's a little outdated not an i7 or a Phenom II x6 Black Editon. But either upgrade of the cpu would force me to change the Board... and possibly the GPU if I went AMD
Absolute worst MMO still active

TQ Digitals Conquer Online. Game was awesome when it first came out, Then the Fucked it up by giving the ability to buy everything in the game you need practically Al a carte... I mean sure they used to have limited item store for like Dragon Balls and stuff. But it wasn't as bad as it is today. You used to have to hunt your ass off to find +1 items to level your Gear. Now you can just Buy what you want and goto +12 easily within a few days.
Congrats on taking #2 spot in most anticipated

I just hope the World of Darkness MMO is better then the piece of shit Third Edition series books that took what was WoD and dropped a bomb on it. Tho they have promised to go back to there roots. Only time will tell. I been playing WoD for 16 years now and still loving it. Just harder to find a good group of people and fun ST's these days. Went from doing pen and paper to playing it on AOL in chronicles using the ever so fun dice rolling command :P
