Kids see giftless holiday season
4 siblings, cousin live with parents in 2-room trailer
DRISCOLL -- Connie holds her 1-year-old niece, Diana, as the baby looks out over the limited floor space that is her playground. With few toys, she is content to crawl around on the worn carpet of the small living room and play with a faded rattle.
Just a couple inches shorter than his dad, Junior enters the front room, which still does not have a Christmas tree. The 11-year-old University of Texas Longhorns fan who dreams of one day becoming a police officer has realized that having even one present waiting for him and his siblings under the tree on Christmas morning may not happen.
Ethan, 6, smirks when asked what he would like from Santa. He shares his 10-year-old brother James' desire for a new skateboard. Their sister, Jessica, wastes no time in chiming in with a Christmas wish of her own -- a Bratz doll. They all crowd the small, worn sofa that barely holds them as they play with Diana.
"It's been really hard the last few months," said mom Connie, 31. Her husband, 34-year-old Arnold, a seven-year employee of the city of Driscoll, has been unable to work because of an on-the-job injury.
In addition to raising their four children, Connie and Arnold also care for Diana. The family lives paycheck to paycheck and brings home less than $800 a month. Before his injury, Arnold made about $1,400 a month. Now they rely on food stamps and the Women, Infants and Children program for Diana.
The family members represent thousands in six counties who will be helped by the Caller-Times Children's Christmas Appeal. The names are changed to protect the privacy of the families, who will be featured in the paper through Christmas. All money donated to the drive benefits the children; all overhead costs are covered by the Caller-Times and the participating agencies.
Connie struggles to make sure the children have clothing that fits as extra money is scarce for new clothes. With neither parent working and an impending surgery for Arnold, presents will be scarce.
"I am ready, willing and able to work but Driscoll has no public transportation and I have no way to get to and from work," Connie said as her voice quivered.
The two-room trailer seems to shrink as the kids grow.
The living room is dimly lit, and a bed sheet hangs in the doorway to the next room. It serves as a makeshift divider for the kids' bedroom.
"We just continue to hope for the best and that maybe I will find a job for Christmas," Connie said as she looked down at a sleeping Diana in her arms. The other kids looked on in silence.

Neils Creek, Texas, US
|Usual Difficulty
|I-II (for normal flows)
|18.7 Miles
|Avg. Gradient
|14 fpm
We are aware of some whitewater interest on this stream. We have no specific information
regarding recommended put-in or take-out, or the actual difficulty of the run (class I-II is
based solely upon the fact that the listed gradient of less than 20 FPM is spread quite evenly
though the reach.) What is listed here is the 'full extent' of the creek, from the confluence of
the two main branches down to the confluence with the Bosque River.
Indicated put-in elevation is approximately 846'.
Indicated take-out elevation approximately 578'.
Thus total elevation change is approximately 268'.
Shuttle length is 20 miles.
Again, this is only preliminary information, pending update by someone with more specific knowledge of this reach.

Video: Chris Brown scores first NHL goal, Capitals win in San Jose for first time since 1993
Mar 23, 2014, 2:00 AM EDT
The Washington Capitals were once again losing in San Jose, until Chris Brown scored his first National Hockey League goal and put them back on even ground with the Sharks.
Brown tied the game at two goals apiece with under eight minutes remaining in the third period, before Evgeny Kuznetsov and Nicklas Backstrom scored in the shootout to give the Capitals a 3-2 victory over the Sharks.
Now, the win in San Jose is significant. As the Washington Post reported, the Capitals had not won a game in San Jose since 1993! It also puts the Capitals right back into the thick of the playoff race in the Eastern Conference. They're now up to 79 points, which ties them with the Detroit Red Wings, current holders of the second Wild Card spot.
The Capitals are ninth in the East, while the Columbus Blue Jackets fell all the way to 10th.
- lowenni - Mar 23, 2014 at 2:25 AM
Good win for the Caps. Wouldn't really say we outplayed any of the 3 California teams on this roadtrip, but to get 5 of a possible 6 points against some of the best teams in the league should be good for the teams confidence going forward. Playoff push is really tight right now. Also, Holtbeast played lights out in his first start in 7 games.
- sjsharks66 - Mar 23, 2014 at 3:34 AM
Congrats to the Caps! Can't be too mad about that loss.
- manilarizzo - Mar 23, 2014 at 8:05 AM
Sjsharks66, appreciate the respect. As a caps fan of 25 years I have nothing else to say in the matchup but 20 years without a victory in the tank???!! Finally. This team has skill. But it lacks heart save for Backstrom, Wardo, and a few others. I hate to say it bc I do love some Ovi when he's in his zone and taking people out but we remain a team without an identity. With all the talent we have I can't help think its a reflection of coaching. Sorry Oates but I don't think you are the guy for this squad.
All that being said. Props to the caps for 5 of 6 points on a brutal Anaheim, LA, San Jose road trip. Says something about the grit of this club. If they manage to get in, anything can happen.
- bmoreredfury311 - Mar 23, 2014 at 11:02 AM
Your exactly right maniarizzo. The Caps have some very good talent, but Oates and Ovi (as the captain) lack heart and that killer intensity that the winning teams have. It was a very good road trip, but i still do not think they will and deserve to make the playoffs.
Naturally I'm torn, i always want the Caps to make in the playoffs, but not if there going to just go belly up, in the first or second round. I still feel McPhee needs to go. They already have change coaches three times and the only one left to go is McPhee. We'll see what Caps team comes back East. Go Caps!
- Ross Hollebon - Mar 23, 2014 at 11:30 AM
Right with you, bmoreredfury311. I don't see it as Oates and Ovi who lack the killer instincts, so much as McPhee. He has done a great job in terms of keeping this team competitive to make the playoffs, but this skill set would be better served in a place like Edmonton who needs stability. The Caps need a leader (above the ice) who is hungry and can see the team and franchise with fresh eyes. I appreciate much of what GMGM has been able to do, but I do believe he has plateaued and a change could help the Caps and GMGM find more success in different directions. #LetsGoCaps
- killerpgh - Mar 23, 2014 at 9:51 AM
I still remember when the Sharks became a team. Can't believe it's been over 20 years they been around. Lets alone 20 years since the Capitals last won a game in San Jose.

Through a blog, Twitter, and Facebook Wyoming's mission trip to Honduras is reported back home as it happens. The immediacy of being virtually present with those on the mission has connected the team, the people of El Ceiba, and Wyoming Episcopalians who support the work from afar.
This trip is to a clinic the diocese of Wyoming has been helping to build in El Ceibo. Dr. Elmer Meijo has visited us several times. We assisted him with funds to complete medical school and fulfill his dream of having a clinic for all people in under-served areas of Honduras. The diocese also bought and installed a hyperbaric chamber to save divers who work in the nearby waters. It is the only one in Honduras. The Rev. Dr. Gus Salbador who served in churches in that area of Honduras and in Wyoming was instrumental in encouraging us to action. The team includes Diocese of Wyoming Deputy to General Convention Josey Nickles, who will be one of the youngest deputies.
The last few days the team of teens and adults have been painting (photo of Josey and Bishop Caldwell) and finishing the clinic. Yesterday it opened for patients. A culmination and new beginning for our vision and the dreams of the people to have affordable, available health care. The medical people and others will work with Dr. Meija as he begins his work and Wyoming hopes to continue to send teams in the future.
Other projects have occurred in other remote and poor villages during the years of Wyoming's bishops tenure. He encouraged us to look beyond our selves and offer ourselves in service to the world. Paradoxically, as many know from other mission work, we are the ones who are enriched beyond measure.
The Rev. Kay Rohde, Director of Wind and Wings, a program of the diocese making Wyoming communities stronger and healthier, especially for youth, writes on Facebook:
"El Centro Medico Bendicion (Blessing Medical Clinic) is open for business! After we blessed the clinic, we opened the gates – they were waiting – no signs yet, all word of mouth – way over hundred people came for care. Everyone was busy and as Elmer explained the name – the clinic is a Blessing for the people, for him and for us to be able to serve those who need help = we were truly blessed today."

How wonderful to have the on-the-spot reports from the mission team. I was in La Ceiba for a day (or two?) from a cruise ship. When we left the shopping area near the docks, we saw a good bit of poverty. I'm sure the medical clinic is much needed.
God bless the mission team and those whom they serve.

The Chief Operating Officer Concept and its Potential Use as a Strategy to Improve Management at the Department of Homeland Security
GAO-04-876R: Published: Jun 28, 2004. Publicly Released: Jun 28, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3236
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In a May 18, 2004 letter, the Chairman of the House Select Committee on Homeland Security observed that many management and integration challenges remain at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and to strengthen the departmentwide reforms and transformation underway at DHS the Select Committee is considering options such as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) concept to help address these challenges. This letter describes the roles and responsibilities of an effective COO and presents certain options that could serve to strengthen and streamline management functions in a department as large and diverse as DHS. As agreed, we have summarized our reports on the COO concept, organizational transformation, as well as DHS's management and transformation challenges.
As DHS and other agencies across the federal government embark on large-scale organizational change initiatives in order to address 21st century challenges, there is a compelling need to elevate, integrate, and institutionalize responsibility for key functional management initiatives to help ensure their success. A COO or similar position may effectively provide the continuing, focused attention essential to successfully completing these multiyear transformations. However, the specific implementation of such an approach must be determined within the context of the particular facts, circumstances, challenges, and opportunities of each individual agency. In addition, certain mechanisms can serve to augment the COO position, and thus further strengthen and streamline management functions within an agency. These mechanisms include articulating the COO's role in statute in order to make clear its broad responsibilities, using performance agreements to clarify individual performance expectations, and setting a term appointment for the position to ensure accountability over the long term. Finally, strong and continuing congressional oversight can help determine how best to elevate, integrate, and institutionalize key management and transformation responsibilities in executive agencies.

It's no secret the federal government has squandered hundreds of billions of dollars on failed IT projects over the past decade, prompting former U.S. CIO Vivek Kundra in 2010 to come up with a plan to address what he called "systemic problems" and reform federal IT management.
Two years later and with a new federal CIO Steven VanRoekel at the helm, several milestones in Kundra's 25-point plan have been met, including directives known as "the firsts." Those "firsts" – cloud first, shared first and future first – have now provided inspiration to new guidelines for federal CIOs as outlined by Evan McDonnell, vice president of solutions at Appian, in his new white paper "Adapting to the New Information Technology Directives: A Guide for Federal Government CIOs."
Here are some of McDonnell's principles for better federal IT management:
Implement "business-ready" technology: Commercial off-the-shelf applications present a problem when federal CIOs need to make modifications. McDonnell suggests considering business process management platforms that give CIOs the opportunity to tailor applications to their unique needs – for less money and less time."As federal CIOs adopt business-ready technology like BPM, business process stakeholders will become less dependent on IT to design and configure processes to create new applications," McDonnell predicts.
Move to one platform: Agencies have traditionally bought software from different vendors to get the best application for each need, resulting in multiple systems that don't always communicate or mesh well with each other. However, if CIOs were to use a single business process management software, they would eliminate the headache of having users log in from various software packages. "Even greater economies of scale are possible if federal CIOs share the core of their applications with other agencies," McDonnell writes. "Such 'frameworks' can be tailored to fit each agency's specific mission saving substantial development costs."
Shift to agile:Agile development has lately emerged as a go-to method to handle IT projects rather than the traditional "waterfall" approach. Not only is the latter approach slow; it relies on procurement officers to detail all known requirements and predict future requirements – an impossible task because users often don't know what they want until they've tried a new technology, McDonnell points out. "As long as the government focuses on COTS products, this problem can never go away," he writes. "It could go away if the government moved back to custom development with a shift to 'agile' development approaches where applications are built in 'sprints' with frequent user feedback."
McDonnell had several other interesting things to say. You can read the full report here.

Worst lines of dialogue in the entire series?

The one I hate the most is from "The Cage", when Pike, exasperated over his flustering yeoman, says "I can't get used to having a woman on the bridge..." then looks over at Number One, "You're different of course, Number One."
I understand the historical and cultural context, and GR might have even thought he was being progressive about pointing out the woman on the bridge...but in the 23rd century, that would be something new and remarkable? That just seems anachronistic even for 1964. And condescending. And it's not as though she was being incompetent, she was just...nervous, like any young officer on the bridge of a starship might be when it was clearly her first assignment. I don't know, it just always bugged me.
Well these 'horrifically offensive" lines, drafted by those equally offensive writers, are part of the STAR TREK scripts
for a reason.
Obviously a man as illuminated as Roddenberry (and the individual writers)
might have been bright enough to understand that
"even in the mysogynistic-lauding mid-1960's of the stone-age", these lines would be deemed offensive to many - as the so-called "Women's Movement" was already well underway in MANY kitchens across America WAY BEFORE STAR TREK aired.
Yep, that's right folks.
And Gloria Stienum's first entered the public consciousness through her mass-media article,.... happened back in,.. are you ready?
That's right, 1963,... a 3 full years before 'The Man Trap' would air.
So why would these intelligent men, leave these offensive lines in?
Were the writers just "stupid"? - some like to think so.
Or, just that naturally mysogynistic, being from that era, and all.
Or, both?
If STAR TREK is "supposed" represent a PROJECTED future of "an advanced culture", exploring space in the 23rd Century - which it was
never intended
to be -
- surely SOMEONE, ANYONE INVOLVED with the show should have had the mental capacity to PROJECT that upon syndication - meaning in this case: As viewed by future generations - that the dialog cited above, would be deemed even more offensive as time went by.
So, obviously ALL the "potentially offensive dialog which may not meet Broadcast Standards" was written-in for a very specific reason.
Granted, the lines like the one about NUMBER ONE, would pass muster in those days - Check out some Dick Van Dyke shows, now here is Accepted Sexism! - but do not kid yourself that those STAR TREK scripts were not Censored with a fine tooth comb.
But the line was written to TELL you something,.. and it isn't "Sexism is Bad" or "Sexism is Accepted".
Number One was written into to the format as a tool to tell you something,.. and is NOT that "In the future Women and Men will have sex equality",.. again those are the cover stories.
The Censors who totally controlled, and often dictated, the OUTWARD content of "Broadcast Programming" would not allow the REAL story - being the one which is not to be told - to be told,...
Which meant the writes had to work twice as hard to "tell the real story of mankind's future" - hidden within the story: Captain Womanizer battles the Alien Rubber Monster, because they had _______, and that's bad for everyone."
So the writers had to find another way to try to get you to
pay attention to the details
,... and not the blinky lights and overly-obvious "Moral Lesson" of _______ is bad.
And don't watch the Rubber Monster, he is really just there to distract you - why?, so the writers could hide the real message in the background - while the Censors worried about if the "Average TV viewer" might find the monsters 'Cod piece' obscene, and not stay tuned for the Kellogg's commercial.
The answers - and more - are there,........ you just have to not buy into the "oh well it was the 60's" and _____ism was accepted then" thing,.......
and ask yourself, what would they be trying to really say to me by leaving this in the script.
Those are the first places you want to go looking for the truth.
And no,.. NUMBER ONE is NOT there to show you how 'progessive' Roddenberry was trying to be,... that's how it was SOLD,.. that's what they wanted the media to think - which is why the scene seems offensive "in even in its day"
Again, that explanation is the PR cover story,.. and not meant for you.
She is there to illustrate something else - something the Censors would not allow you to be told by the writers.
It makes no sense to say: Look how progressive my show is, we have a woman as 2nd in command because we have sex equality",... then turn around and slap her on the tushy.
No. no. no,... THINK IT THROUGH.
Or,... just figure Roddenberry, et al, were just a bunch of stone-age brutes who could type.
I hope you'll choose the former, and think it through.

Brandon Carr, CB. Although he's coming off one of the most disappointing seasons of his career, the 28-year-old recently said he's "trying to take over the league" in 2014. That will be a difficult task if the front four aren't consistently pressuring quarterbacks.

Is there any way
Is there any way to make a 2012 k&n CAI fit on our 2013's part number 63-1561 the site says it fits but there is no way it will cause of theAC lines.
Sorry for the repeat question I'm sure but any help will be great and if there's pictures this would also help thanks
your best bet would be to talk to K& N directly.
They will want your manufacture day, month, year found on your driver door sticker.
There were a few manufacture dates that ran the AC lines all wonky. If your's is one of them- they can provide a work around if possible.
good luck
Having the same problem with the Volant I had on my 2010. Won't fit because of the A/C lines. Probably going with an S&B for my 2013. Don't like how the 2013-up Volant intake looks.

"We used to wrestle together. He would motivate me,'' said Lamichhanne, who also attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. When he last talked to him, about a year ago, Lamichhane said that Tsarnaev told him, "I am not doing as well as I expected."
Tsarnaev graduated in 2011 from Rindge & Latin, and was both a team captain and an all-star wrestler. His coach told the Boston Globe that he was "just one of us."

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is currently enrolled as a student at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, a university spokesman said.
The three young friends said they only remembered Dzhokhar Tsarnaev mentioning his father once.
Peter Tenzin said he was also involved in a program called "Best Buddies" with Tsarnaev that helped kids with learning disorders
"It's a program where kids would meet up and we would take time and we would really do arts and crafts, eat, play," said Tenzin. "He was really involved into it."
UMass Dartmouth was evacuated Friday, and dozens of students stood in small clusters on the grassy shoulders of the entrance way to campus, waiting in many cases for family or friends to take them back home.
Student Alyse Peak said that "it came as a shock" to learn that the campus was linked to one of worst crimes in Boston history. She was waiting to go from the evacuated campus back to Boston, which is locked down. She said that she was hoping to "get through and get home."
Patric Yaghoobian, 20, of Millbury, Mass., a sophomore electrical engineering major, said he lived in the dorm room next to Tsarnaev this year. He said that he had a casual relationship with suspect, who was also a sophomore.
"I'd see him coming and out of his room and around campus," he said. "He seemed like a normal, calm kid. He didn't seem to be angry and he never had an angry expression on his face."
Yaghoobian said he would glance into Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's room now and then if the door was open. He called it an "average college room, like mine even. Nothing on the walls that really stuck out."
Yaghoobian said that he knew Tsarnaev when both were freshmen and that "nothing changed from last year to this year. He did not have a high profile on campus."
Student Corinna Caraballo, 19, a freshman marketing major, said: "I'm scared. It's a scary thought that he was under the same roof as us ... going to school with us, nonchalantly. And he's still hiding somewhere."
Freshman Nicole Larriu, 19, said that she, too, would be "concerned for my safety" until Tsarnaev was caught.
The FBI conducted interviews with relatives of the two brothers Friday morning at a home in the Washington suburb of Gaithersburg, Md., according to Richard Wolf, an FBI spokesman.
The Tsarnaev brothers and their two sisters moved to the Dagestan region of Russia in October 2001 from the central Asian nation of Kyrgyzstan as refugees, and left for the U.S in March 2002, said Emirmagomed Davudov, director of Gimnasium Number 1 in Dagestan, where Tamerlan went to the seventh grade and Dzhokhar to the first grade.
Ruslan Tsarni, their uncle in Gaithersburg, said that his brother's children immigrated to the U.S. in 2003, arriving in Cambridge. Asked for a possible motive for the attacks, Tsarni called them "losers not being able to settle themselves and thereby just hating everybody who did."

Reality Check - Why is Collecting Loot So Much Fun?
To mark the release of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition Cam investigates why we find gathering loot so damn enjoyable.

Schedule: Thursdays at 12pm PT
Host: Cameron Robinson
actually, cam, not everything you said was entirely true i think. back when i was playing WoW, i used to hold on to items i no longer needed, simply because i was emotionally attached to them. Like "oh, i can't toss my paladin T0 set, i had such a good time with friends whilst wearing it and it was such a pain to get"

Collecting loots matters because it highly adds to the replay value.
"+1,000,000 obedience"
+1,000,000 obedience
Dopamine Rush
I don't get a dopamine rush from rummaging, scavenging, and collecting stuff in video games.
They break the F~L~O~W of the game. Collecting stuff in the game should be kept to a minimum and should be easy, e.g. like what was done in FUSE.
Of course, I'll collect what's there because I don't want to miss out. The fear of missing out or losing out is a huge psychological motivator. Of course no one wants to miss out on what the game is offering or on the upgrades needed to succeed or play much better.
I hate scavenging for crap in video games. for example, I love inFAMOUS, but I can't stand collecting all those damn blast shards.
Logic: Badass equipment = Sexier gameplay! Plus, It makes my character look more like a kickass killer.
Do you really have to ask?
I go loot crazy when I don't feel *quite* powerful enough to beat the game, or *quite* powerful enough to be competitive, or I don't *quite* have the right look to match the superhero version of myself I enjoy pretending to be in these fantasy games. If I find that the loot is too crappy or expensive and I need to start farming, I give up on a game. If I find that the loot is making me OP I get bored of the game. There's a sweet-spot where the game keeps giving me just enough loot to keep the challenges fun but not enough to make them boring. I got bored of pretty much every MMORPG I've ever tried because sooner or later they got that curve wrong and it turned into a grind.
On a different but related note, I'd love to hear your answer to another question: Are pay-to-win, micro-transaction, random reward games aimed at children ethical?
Replaying it from scratch on PS4. I consider Diablo to be close to the most perfect game ever (not just for the loot). The challenges are great, the hardcore is awesome and adrenaline pumping at times. Getting the equipment sets is always cool to get. the randomness of location gives reason to replay, the randomness of champions gives the jolt of gaming we need and I did mention the loot? I have loved the gaame ever since the very first one on PC. the 360 taught me how much fun co-op can truly be.
I will love new games when the good games come, but I will always at times get back to Diablo every now and then, even when all the challenges have been met (with a regular tour through Minecraft to cleanse the pallet).
i finally bought it on ps3 for twenty bucks. great time to buy since so many were selling for the new edition, any difference?
@wowwow27 The "Vanilla" game you purchased does not have Act 5 (Reaper of souls), No adventure mode after completing story mode, No bounties, or a better loot system.
I love collecting loot so I can sell it for real life money. Turning WOW gold into real life money for years helped me pay for the sub. I also was able to sell an item I got from collecting cards from Steam to get an item worth $30+ and sold it finally this year. Loot is wonderful! Eh most of the time loot is wonderful as when I played WOW I hated hearing the awful "Inventory is full" comment though over and over and over again. :O
Great show. I remember Diablo being the reason I begged my parents to hook up a dail up modem haha, my first online multiplayer experience. Spent many hours looking for " godly plate of the whale" or whatever ridiculous name that armor had.
Who is "we"?
I enjoyed the story line well enough, and as always the CG cutscenes were great, but overall I was disappointed with Diablo 3. So my collecting of loot was pretty well limited to what I thought other future characters could use (never mind the incredible violation of the fourth wall) and I ended up not playing enough characters to even use the loot.
The game is horribly repetitive with practically no replay value. Compare it to a game like Skyrim, which I'm now playing for the umpteenth time, and I STILL discover quests and dungeons I haven't found before.
Instead D3's replay value is supposed to come from... what? Doing the same levels over and over with a lame and tired carrot-on-a-stick equipment progression? It's not even an MMO where that strategy can be bearable on account of constant competition between players and the introduction of the next big dungeon.
D3 isn't that much different in scope than D2, but the bar has been raised since then. An RPG that lacks diversity, choices, and replayability, is going to be a major let down in this gamer's opinion. Especially when you compare D3 to even release-day WoW and all the progression paths and side-quests you had to choose from there.
Yeah I've put in at least 200 hours in skyrim, still discovering new locations, quests, and items. That game is insane.
Another great reality check Cam . But if you ask a resident of st lious why collecting loot is so much fun holy cow you get an entirely different answer than this here. Collecting loot is fun because it makes your characters progression more tangible .
I have a sword that's legendary orange, and it's glowing green, and has poison damage, and buko stats, and it makes my shaft hard.
I'm like way stoked about just getting getting my arcane missiles into ice shards, and a new whirlwind AEO seeking, but not really seeking like meandering, attack too. I'm not sure if that counts.
But... but... collecting loot isn't fun at all. In any way.
@001011000101101 But... but... it is.
My experience is deadfull, i always clutter the inventory to fullness becouse i keep items that i may need, or becouse i rather like this look even though its weak but when something come up i will quickly change to the better start item, and potions are a curse.....i keep saving them in case i need, prefering to die and restart and end the game with so much my hero/heroine could open an apotechary after they retire from saving the world
i reckon that if you would introduce a loot system into the work space of a company, production would be up in no time. You managed to deliver the Mail of Insight? Here's a free snack.. You defeated the giant called Project Analysis? Here's a gift card... or a weekend for two in a hotel.
@Talis12 I have +5 to all office equipment repair checks. Alas, the Copier of Spontaneous Doom is obviously plastered with Runes of Negation.
@KerrinScott @Talis12 Thats pretty handy.. I have +2 in Sneak to steal office supplies easier, +1 in Crafting for better pots of coffee and +6 in Agility so my stapler does more damage. My Pants of Sloth sets back my Speed to -2 however :(
@Talis12 @KerrinScott Well, at least you have your trusty +3 Vorpal Rapier of Wit...
I have wanted to play Diablo for a while, but never took the dive on the PC version or ps3. I decided to give it a try and went out to get it on launch day. I was close to not scoring because it was the last one they had for the x1. I have been playing off and on since. I admit looting is fun. It is our natural instincts to hunt and Diablo makes it fun. It's going to get a lot more interesting Tuesday when Madden comes. I will be divided on which to play.
basing a game around loot seems like a cop out. Make a game with great mechanics, story line, good AI, well thought design....or just have tons of loot?
Diablo and just about every MMORPG does that. Everything is based on loot rather than on the gameplay itself.
Hoping to see a MMORPG where developers don't focus on loot but people will find fun to play regardless.
@grove12345 Except the gameplay is fun and loot is just part of the game.
its not really, ultimate boredem edition in t minus 2 weeks.
awesome show, these are great
when you start a game with a player level 1 no armor and with 0 gold/money you would collect every garbage and hoping to find good staff to help you out through the game specially when you are playing on (nightmare/insane) difficulty spearing you from spending the gold/money that you hardly find/loot, but when you reach with your player a current level with very good protection you would be very selective to pick up loots and some time you would leave them where they are..but it is still fun to loot :)
its no longer fun at all IMO. it was fun on diablo 1, now you get showered by thing you don't need or actually don't know if are better than what you've got.
@ferna1234 Seriously? You can't figure out if it's better than what you've got? Do numbers not have meaning you, or are the green and red arrows not dumbing it down enough?
two words: skinner box
Even Ratchet and Clank. You know you get nuts and bolts, but you see more crates and you just have to smash em!
lol loved that loot bag. I'm now curious what other sweet sweet loot is hidden around your offices.
If its too much loot like Borderlands or insane garbage disposer of a protagonist like Bioshock infinite, I don't enjoy it at all.
I collect loot to be come more powerful, so there is no one that can rise to my level
I love those Reality Check videos =)
You described classical conditioning, not operant conditioning, but no matter.
Lucy James at the end looks really cute... just sayin....
I have always said that the average gamer (I include myself in this) would spend more time comparing for example swords in Diablo, WoW or Skyrim than they would spend comparing trousers in an actual clothes shop. You could draw many parallels between these behaviours I reckon.
Yeah, it's the power of Gamblore.
Hasn't there already been a variable rate reward episode?
since when are the videos 60fps?
Big Massive +, thank you
when he pulled the socks i laughed like mad! ahahahahahaha! that was so good! ahahah. next week without you cam isn't going to be the same. :'( and i LOVE loot, Skyrim, and most of all in borderlands 2 i don't play diablo 3 cause i can't pay.
Hey Cam! Give back Mark's socks and jocks! Another great episode by the way. When I play a game I do like to collect as much loot as possible and now I know why. I like to call myself a 'digital hoarder'. Good thing you don't need big pockets or a large closet to store them in. Think of all the space you would need!

It wasn't even close to Halloween
My hands were all bloody, from punching on the concrete
God damn homey
My mind is playing tricks on me
Lyric Meaning
The entire thing was a hallucination. It wasn't Halloween, there were no Geto Boys there, there was no big dude following him. He just finds himself hitting the concrete with his bare hands once he wakes from the vision
The song was released in July 1991, so it wasn't even close to Halloween
There's an episode of Jamie Foxx's SiriusXM show (from 2008 I think), Bushwick Bill was the guest and he said each verse of this song was meant to describe different mental disorders like paranoia, depression, schizophrenia. Don't know if that was the original intent back in '91

Handmade crisscross strappy leather shoes with a chunky wooden heel and zip up back. Open toe. Adjustable ankle straps with buckle closure.
*By Jeffrey Campbell
*By Jeffrey Campbell
Measurements:Heel: 3 1/4"
Shaft: 7 3/4"
Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by MegaNightmare High quality, totally on-trend, comfortable!! I LOVE these shoes! They are gorgeous in person - made of a beautiful leather (I did not notice a smell), and very comfortable for heels. I am a very true 7.5 and that is the size I ordered - they fit perfectly. I would be comfortable trying a half size up, but I would fear they might rub and have a little too much space between the end of the shoe and my toes. I also have high arches and I was nervous that the straps around the arch of my foot would not fit, but they did (with a little bit of maneuvering of the leather, though, I admit!) They are very flattering (surprisingly) on my wide calves, which is a HUGE plus for me. I plan on wearing these with boy cut jeans, dresses, capris, shorts... probably anything. They are super versatile. Oh, I got them in brown. I'm not sure the black would be as versatile because they are more of a stark contrast with my skin tone. But the brown is phenomenal. 9.5.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Miss_RM Complete Perfection The moment I opened the box, I was glowing. I bought these shoes in the black, and the quality of the leather is absolutely to die for. I typically am either an 8 or 8 1/2, sometimes I find that Jeffrey Campbell runs large. I got these in the 8 and they fit perfect. They are extremely comfortable and I literally cannot wait to wear them with everything!! If you are on the fence, BUY THEM, you will not regret it! 7.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by alicewinter comfortable & classic i'm not really a heel person, but bought these for a wedding & was so surprised by how comfortable they are! the first time i wore them was for about 7 hours straight and i honestly never felt any discomfort or pain the entire night! they are beautiful in person and the leather is good quality. the heels are fairly short (maybe 2.5 inches?) and chunky so they are easy to walk in. they are a little expensive, but definitely worth it! 9.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jilliebean1018 Be-yoo-tee-ful! Bought these in black at full price (ugh) but they're a slam dunk. Quality is great - leather is soft and clean. --- Sizing is a tad big (I'm a size 10) and mid-section of shoe is loose on my narrow foot. Adjusting the ankle strap helped. Might also add a grippy insert to help. - Heel is 3.5 in tall for inquiring minds. --- Look forward to wearing these into fall with black skinny jeans, skirts with colored socks, or dresses with tights. That should help with the roomy-ness as well. 8.8.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by sl1717 Cute but painfull I absolutely love the style of these shoes but they have to go back because the straps on the middle and front of the shoe pinch the top of my feet everytime I take a step! It doesn't help when the leather seems more like plastic either... With less than a minute of walking around with them on, that area of the top of my foot was pink and raised from the pinching. Also, the shoes were a bit wide and a bit loose (although it may be because I have narrow and smaller feet). Gel soles did help a bit with the pinching problem but not the width issue. Personally, I did not think the quality of these shoes were that great for the price. I did like the style of the shoes though! 7.23.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by pattimoreno Perfect Really comfortable shoe and stylish. Goes with many different outfits. 6.8.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sauce1 Cool & comfortable!! These shoes go great with everything and they are very comfortable. They were out of stock in 7.5 so I got a 7 (couldn't wait) and they were a tad small but stretched out a tiny bit after wearing to be comfortable enough. If I wasn't so impulsive about getting them asap, I would've gotten the 7.5 - as they are TTS. Get them...you won't regret it! 4.20.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by elby12 Narrow Foot Nope Awesome. Perfect height, decent quality leather. But these are LOOSE. Around the house I thought it would be ok, but as soon as I stepped into the grocery store I was all over the place. Now I'm going to have to jerry rig these with inserts, maybe hole punch the ankle straps. Literally within 5 minutes of wearing them the bottom liner began peeling off the sole. Did I mention these bad boys are made in china? Yea. Don't do it, not even for the "sale" price. 4.14.2014

It's Time
I'm originally from Boston, spent a few years working in the midwest, and came out here for an adventure never expecting to stay. Obviously I was wrong. My wit / sense of humor is East Coast, my traditional values are Midwest, and my easy going (but still competitive) nature is all Southern California. I'm described as intelligent, confident, caring, and extremely loyal. Pretty much the nice guy type, but not a pushover. I'm sure that I'm probably reserved at first to some, but I love to laugh and find lots of humor in everyday life. I actually think I'm hilarious by the way. I treat everyone with a high level of respect but give my complete trust to a select few. If the world is divided between givers and takers, then I am definitely a giver. I tend to enjoy the simple pleasure of making other people happy. I am a gentleman, but have a bit of a mischievous streak as well. Most people can not believe that I am still single and think that I'll be a great catch for somebody out there. The truth is that I am a family guy without the family. It probably won't come as a surprise that I love animals as well. So what am I looking for? No doubt the same as everyone else. I want it all. I want fun and laughter, honesty and devotion, loyalty and trust, appreciation and respect. I want kindness. I want a giver. I want an optimist. I'd really love to find a great travelling companion. I am a straight talker, and want someone who is unafraid to speak up and have opinions. I want someone who can communicate in good times and bad, who can discuss problems when they arise. We are all looking for love but I am also looking for a best friend. I want ONE PERSON to share everything with.
Bowling, Golf, Other types of exercise, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

Interestingly, this also appears to be a possible example of the D over D variety discovered by Dave Bowers in 1988, and described by him this way in the Norweb Collection Part III catalog: "Under magnification, to the right of the mintmark is seen a veritable "bird's nest" of curly lines, raised lines in the coin, indicating these lines were in the die-a quite fascinating situation. Under magnification, there appears a tiny 'D' mintmark under the regular-sized letter. It is likely that this tiny D was punched by error. Some of these grinding marks are what remain today as curlicues. Then the regular-sized wide D mintmark was overpunched."

"Poor folks want that, rich folks want that, white folks want that, minorities want that," Reardon said. "Everyone wants that."
But he cautioned that while the study didn't explicitly test the consequences of segregation, it can lead to a disparity in high school-graduation rates and achievement gaps. Students in middle-class neighborhoods often attend schools that are better resourced and that tend to have more "political clout" within a district, Reardon said. The quality in teachers is often different, as well.
Reardon brought up another, less studied concern also.
"The other thing I think there's less good research about but that we worry about a little bit is if kids growing up in more segregated schools grow up with less capacity to be good members of a democracy," he said, adding that they may be less able to understand different points of view and appreciate diversity if they are not exposed to it at school.
