Originally written on Cardinals Diaspora | Last updated 3/28/13
14-13 with a nearly 4 ERA and 1.24 WHIP gets you 97 million dollars? Jay Lenno says "I've GOT to get into pitching!" Let's get three things out on the table before we put the scalpel to this contract: 1) Adam Wainwright is good dude. He's the kind of guy that you want as a face of your baseball team. He's easy to market, popular with the fan base and has a rare thing in professional sports: a non-offensive, but totally likable personality. 2) Our longstanding feeling on baseball contracts hasn't changed. Who gives a rip what the Cardinals are paying for players. As long as they're winning, it's not our job to pay the bills. Ticket prices, cable TV prices and beer prices are still going up, no matter what. (Ask Pirate fans). So playing accountant is silly. The Cardinals are going to make a profit no matter what the next 5 years. 3) Coming back off Tommy John surgery in 2011 made Wain-O less effective than he normally would have been. We'l...

Microsoft files antitrust complaint against Motorola
Microsoft has joined Apple in filing an antitrust complaint against Motorola Mobility, claiming the company is trying to use online video standards patents as a weapon, and that new owner Google is doing nothing to stop it. According to Microsoft's Deputy General Counsel, Dave Heiner, Motorola is demanding the company yank Windows PCs, Xbox 360 consoles and more from store shelves in North America and Europe, "or else remove their standards-based ability to play video and connect wirelessly." That, Heiner argues, is antitrust behavior, and he shows Microsoft's sums to prove it: Motorola apparently wants 1,125x the rate in royalty payments as other patent holders.

Who Do You Tell What to Do?
I have seen everyone give their opinion how to teach. I consider myself a somewhat intelligent man -- never a genius -- but a hard working individual. I attended public school, went on to a respectable university, and then continued with two masters degrees. But I have to bow to people who are in the trenches with me everyday.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cabosanlucas Platinum members don't miss this hotel This has to be just about the perfect stay. Hotel staff are superb. Book the Club Lounge as the facilities and the staff are brilliant. I have to mention John , Alex and Mana . Miss you guys your service and attitude was amazing. Aiko at Concierge was excellent too. The shining star was Jarom who helped us out on both our stays and provided outstanding customer service. You are a shining example of how to treat guests. The only minor complaints are the pool needs to watch if the beds are taken by guests and the rooms and corridors look a little tired. Apart from that an all round a brilliant stay. October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by WILNYC best hotel location on waikiki still my favorite hotel on waikiki beach!location location location! you couldn't ask for a better spot on the beach or the infinity pool to watch the sunset while sipping a mai tai or lava flow! the staff is very friendly; a special shout out to Mason, Ashley, Craig, Sara, & Nicole at the Edge! thanks for being extra attentive & remembering us each and every time we visit! i also want to thank Brett, Logan, Amy, Erin, & Jeff sorry to see this pool staff leave! i hope the next time we visit the staff will be as good! until then Aloha.. i will be back! October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Motherandson Great location but you don't feel special. We arrived at 1pm but could not check in until exactly 3 as we were told our room was not ready. We went over to Rum Fire and had a late lunch and were pleased when we got the call at 3 telling us our room was ready. We had a nice location for our room but the room had a fragile chair, no desk and the beds and pillows were hard as a rock. The first night I could not sleep at all because the small refrigerator made so much noise going on and off all night. I had my son move the frig into the bathroom so we could sleep the next night. We were told they could remove it but we were using it and would have liked a replacement. 1. The infinity pool is nice but not a pool you can swim in, just cool off. Getting a chair is a fight if you are not there to save one early in the morning. I was pleased to see them put a sign on the chairs though after the second day giving the person 2 hours to return or they would remove the towels. 2. We had requested a late check out but they told us we had to move our room to the back side of the building as the hotel was full. My son called to book that night and they said they had many rooms available. We were not very happy. We had to go up and pack all our things and move them just for a few extra hours, and they were not very nice about it. 3. Some of the staff is awesome and some were just rude. I know its a hard job but this is a public service industry and if you can't be nice under stressful situations, find another job. 4. Rum Fire is just fun and the food is pretty tasty. You can't get much better views and its casual, day or night. 5. The location is right in the heart of all the action. You can find just about anything to do right from there. There are endless options for restaurants within walking distance. There is not a big beach at the hotel but you have all of Waikiki just steps away. October 27, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by pjmac Perfect Location, Aloha Spirit, friendly staff, beautiful facilities This Hotel is situated in the perfect location. Our family of 5 arrived after a long flight and were met by friendly and quick concierge staff to find our beautiful Diamond head view room was ready early. With 3 very comfortable double beds our room was modern, clean, quiet with plenty of room and a large bathroom which could do to be updated. The pool area was a hit with the family and I believe the best on the coast. The beach and pool so close was just perfect. So relaxing and the water slides and safety of the pool made for great family fun. The infinity pool amazing and relaxing all gardens beautiful. The only improvement could be more food and beverage staff poolside, one was not enough and better menu options particularly some healthier options. Loved all the restaurants and bars at the hotel with each ones view perfect and friendly staff but again could do with more menu options and staff at times. The Hotel facilities are beautiful and the outlook and proximity to all shopping, transport and restaurants could not be better.Really enjoyed the night laser show at the pool and evening music entertainment. The friendly staff made our stay with the lovely cleaning staff happy aloha greeting every time we walked to and from the room and particularly Zac helping our children at Lei making and puka shells and Alison at check out . Even having a room to freshen up before our next flight was much appreciated. Overall a fantastic holiday and we would not want to stay any where else. October 23, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by docdoc Just uncomfortable Great location for Waikiki, but this was the single most uncomfortable hotel room in memory for this frequent traveler. No desk, not one comfortable chair, and poor pillows, with an A/C system that could not keep the room cool in October in Hawaii--all just unacceptable. Food was good, but restaurant service, especially in Kai Market, was just really poor and inattentive. Great lobby--but rooms are not Starwood quality, so do not expect it! October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by AmyVQ Amazing customer service! We booked an oceanfront room at the Sheraton Waikiki last minute for our daughter's school break. We were very excited and grateful to be upgraded to a one bedroom suite overlooking Diamond Head and the ocean. The suite was amazing! The staff also presented us with a brown bag we were able to fill with goodies from the gift store...an exciting venture for our eight year old. They also brought us flower leis, a candy lei and a bag of toys. It was over the top and really made our vacation special. Thanks! :) October 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Oct14 A tired beauty Hotel is in a great location but needs renovation. October 10, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Sanclementegriff A bit disappointed The hotel grounds a beautiful if a bit small for the size of the hotel. We had a so-so experience on our stay. Regrettably it sometimes just takes on experience to make a bad impression. In our case this was the case. Although we had many goos( but not great) experiences it will be one glaring bad experience that we will remember and evidently this is a standard procedure since it happened many days. Towel service at the pool does not open until 8:00 AM SHARP. My husband as well as several other guests were waiting for pool towels before 8 and the pool attendants who were standing at the desk ready to work waited until exactly 8:00 AM to serve the guests! Deplorable customer service! Especially since for a majority of this hotels guests due to the mainland time difference, had been awake since 5:00AM! While at rhe pool only SPG Platinum recieved any service- even when heavy rain necessitated putting up the tall pool umbrellas. I saw old gentlemen fighting with the umbrellas while the pool boys were AWOL. A flagrant example of bad service. I will say our housekeeper was wonderful but that' s not what I will remember. It will be the don't care attitude of the pool service and pool policies!0 October 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by thejacob Resort Exceeded Expectations This hotel hosted us for our first trip to Hawaii. For beginners to the islands, this hotel blew us away. For starters, the hotel being located on Waikiki beach is worth it alone. The views and club are absolutely worth the extra money. The hotel has plenty of things to do within walking distance. Plus the pool and pool service were fantastic. The absolute best Sheraton Club I've been to. Great SPG recognition with welcome gifts from a wide selection in the shop. They also had a hospitality room for no charge which allowed us to freshen up before leaving for the airport after we had already checked out. October 9, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by LGC39 room amenities poor No chairs in room. Had to call mgr to get them. and then only patio chairs. TV had to be replaced and then remote. Phone went dead and had to be replaced. October 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by laxplat Difficult to sleep I checked in as a PLT, a friend checked in with no status. We both asked about upgraded rooms. I was not offered any selection but told that my room was the best available. He was offered a few choices and had a much nicer room than me. (and checking for a different date, he did have a much higher category room) Difficult to sleep as Rum Fire had loud parties until after midnight and I could hear the music, crowd, etc. almost every night. Clock was broken; called for help and no response for more than 45 min. When I called back, I was told, "it's easier to just have a wake up call than have someone come fix anything." October 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Riste23 Hotel was in a grat location The room was ok, the pool was excellent and the location was great. The service was very good October 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Akb71 Great location Location of registration desk was not as visible or marked as we are used to seeing. Shops were the first we saw and had to keep walking to locate the registration desk. However, the room, staff and our stay were great! October 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by gro2 Amazing infinity pool! The entire place is pristine, relaxing ...and my favorite is the infinity pool which runs into the ocean,,,but...PLEASE remind customers to keep their children OUT! I had to let the pool staff 3 times during my stay that there were children and or babies in the pool! It is for 16 and older! That is why I stay at Sheraton! They need to go to their family/kiddie pool. Thank you! October 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jamalamy Outstanding service Today will be our last night of 11 at the Sheraton Waikiki and although we are not big fans of Honolulu, we will miss the exceptional service provided at this resort. Dayna at the front desk accommodated our request and even exceeded our expectations! Brett at the pool, took excellent care of my wife during our stay. The hostesses in the club lounge were also outstanding as was the view from there! Housekeeping was efficient and friendly. As an ambassador platinum member, I have stayed in a lot of Starwood properties worldwide and the staff at this Sheraton really set the standard for customer service! October 2, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ken1943 Disappointed Ms. Sanders- After many years of staying at The Royal while traveling to Honolulu on business, we decided to try your property. One of our carefully chosen requests was that our suite be near the elevator as it is hard for me to walk long distances with the many materials needed for my meetings. Instead we were assigned 702. When we discovered it couldn't be further away from the elevators I called the front desk and was advised there were no other suites availablein the hotel. A bellman intervened and the duty service manager found us 1243. 1243 actually smelled. We had houskeeping spray it but with not much success. The bathroom floor was sticky as was the tables in the living room,. It felt like the room had not been cleaned in some time (deeply). The bedside alarm clock went off at 5AM. Housekeeping had not checked to see if it was "set". I advised them to turn iot off. Instead it went off again the seconf morning. The Ipad for room service did not work. Barttery was dead. No charger evident. I was advised the first night it would have to be ddealt with in the morning. It wasn't. This is ot the experience that brings us back nor makes this a 4 star hotel. Very truly yours, Kenneth D. Malamed Vice Chairman First Western Capital Management 1900 Avenue of the Stars October 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Romas Location Hotel location is absolutely in the middle of all activities on Waikiki. September 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by DavidAL Excellent family stay My family and I recently stayed 5 nights here, and had an excellent family vacation. We utilized the valet parking, which was fast and efficient, and the SPG Gold/Platinum checkin line was empty, so we were checked in immediately. All the hotel amenities were explained to us, and we were off to our room, which was excellent with 2 balconies. The lounge here is excellent and worth every penny just for the view. The staff for breakfast and evening hors d'oevres was friendly and professional. We spent probably 2 hours/day in the lounge just enjoying the views. The pools here are very nice, with 1 family pool, and 1 adults only pool. Off the right corner of the adults only pool, where the beach meets the retaining wall, every afternoon around 3-4PM there would be 5 or more turtles swimming around that you could swim with also. Be careful though, the water can be a little rough right there. Overall, this was an excellent stay provided by an excellent staff and we look forward to staying here again soon. September 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Jaydee47 This hotel's room need a total upgrade Totally disappointed with the rooms at this hotel. Room 427 has to be seen to be believed. Room 2452 magnificent outlook marginally better. Balconies grubby and furniture worn and uncomfortable. Bed linen in first room looked like it had been thrown on the beds and very crumpled. Beds uncomfortable. This hotel had been on our bucket list so it was a massive let down. September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by honeymooner712 great view we had a room on the wing that faced diamond head, it was spectacular. waking up to that view was great, it made me not want to leave the hotel.... but the beach and pools were soo great and close that i had to ! very cool hotel to hang out at. September 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert A great week in Waikiki My wife and I stayed 7 nights at the Sheraton Waikiki. We had a great time. The staff was friendly and professional, the hotel was very clean, and the food was very good. As a platinum member we were upgraded to a suite with a beautiful view. It was fun to watch the Sea Turtles come in and feed every afternoon. The club lounge was fantastic and the staff in the lounge were incredible.. The pools were very nice and relaxing. Outside the hotel on the beach is the "Maitai Catamaran". The Sheraton hotel concierge arranged for our tickets at a discounted price. We loved this sailboat and did the one and a half hour cruise twice.This is a great hotel to experience Oahu. September 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KimD13 Ideal location and friendly staff My mom and I arrived at the Sheraton for a 5 night stay. We were offered a complimentary upgrade to an ocean view room after my original booking in a partial ocean view room. The girl at the front desk (didn't get her name) was very nice and accommodating. I could not ask for better service. Although the rooms are basic and could use upgrades, we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our room to the fullest. The room was clean and the views were to die for! Room service was prompt and the staff was very friendly. We saw TURTLES swimming in front of the infinity pool almost every day of our stay. We also had a great view of Diamond Head and the pool area. I read some people had issues with "thin walls". We were lucky not to have this issue. We were on the 7th floor. I slept like a baby and I'm generally a light sleeper. Only negative....there was a couple of people smoking on their balcony during our stay. I'm a non-smoker and had to return to my room for 10 minutes after enjoying coffee on the balcony to avoid the disgusting smell. I think it would be nice for the hotel to post a "non-smoking" sign on the balconies if they are indeed a non-smoking area. What I consider a smoking "issue" would not stop me from staying at this hotel again. I certainly recommend this hotel for couples, families and general travel. Thank you Sheraton for a wonderful stay! September 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kalani54 Aloha!...alive and well at Sheraton Waikiki Having lived in Hawai'i for 78 years, it is so heartwarming to encounter the Aloha spirit "full on"! A recent one night stay to celebrate at a Hawai'i Ballroom banquet made me so proud of hotel staff, from check-in to check out. The Aloha spirit indeed lives on at the Sheraton Waikiki Resort. September 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chris32014 Ideal Location This hotel has the perfect location in Waikiki. The pools are the best by far in Waikiki. The kid's pool has water slides and tunnels, while the adult infinity pool has a panoramic view of the Ocean and Diamond Head. The Edge bar looks out over the same view and even has 4 or 5 outdoor big screen TVs for watching football if you get bored of looking at surfers. The seafood buffet at Kai Market restaurant on Friday and Saturday nights serves high quality local seafood at a reasonable price. Staff is excellent. September 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by stpl35 Anniversary celebration My wife and I had a fantastic time at this property celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary. Thank you to the staff and management team for making this a great vacation. This is our second stay and we have not been disappointed yet. The staff are very friendly and willing to help with any request. Infinity pool with cocktails is a must. Proximity to shopping and restaurants are great, especially when you want go for a short walk outside of the property….lots of choices and options. September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam8 Amazing Hotel This hotel has the perfect location for beach, surfing and shopping September 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pam8 Wonderful resort This hotel has all the excitement of a city hotel with the Rum fire bar and the lights display in the evening. The resort is located on Waikiki Beach and shops next door. September 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by tora1607 My stay at the Sheraton Waikiki First I'd like to say that our room maid, Remi was super. She has been with Sheraton for 39 years, was very courteous and our room was always clean. I'd have to say the room was extra clean and Remi always went the extra mile for us. However on the last day of our visit I called the front desk to let them know I'll be checking out later, they gave me an extra hour, which was nice. We left the room for a little bit just before 11 and when we came back the room was not accessible with the card key anymore! We called downstairs and waited another 15 minutes before someone came up and opened the door for us. I complained this to the front desk and the first thing she said was if I wanted to talk to the manager, no apologies whatsoever! When the manager came she asked what she could do for us but mentioned that "Oh but this is your last day here" as if to hint that there is nothing that could be rectified anyways. This is not the kind of service I expect from a large hotel chain as Sheraton. When I talked to the person at front desk and started to complain before she asked if I wanted to talk to the manager I was replied with "Well you didn't talk to me!" attitude. No one told me I had to get my card rekeyed for the late check-out which I would have gladly done. Isn't everyone who works for Sheraton represents the company?.....Apparently not! September 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BkNeko Excellent Hotel for Vacations I stayed in the hotel from the 4- 9. The staff at the front desk, concierge, the restaurant staff and the pool staff were very friendly and helpful in whatever question we had. The room was an excellent size. At the pool was a bit noisy because kids are running everywhere having fun while at the infinite pool it was the right spot for adults to relax and to have a drink while watching the sun set. September 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Milliew Perfect Location Absolute perfect location, oceanfront room an added bonus worth having. Rooms are a bit dated but view and location more than make up for it. Staff were excellent, and nothing was too much trouble. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel, especially with having the children's and adults areas separate, beach next door, great bars and cocktails. What more could you ask for. Thanks so much will definitely be back. September 9, 2014

Let's see, I moved to LA four years ago and really love how my life has come together. I have a great network of friends, love my work, and am optimistic about the future. I'd like to find someone to share the good times with and am looking for something real and lasting. Dating in LA is fun but let's be honest, the bar scene can get old. Chivalry still exists, and I'm looking to prove it to a woman who is sexy, fun and intelligent. I'm an interent entrepreneur and own several businesses so I keep busy. I work hard and like to play hard. I'm pretty laid back but I love taking on new projects and activities that are challenging. In my free time I need balance just like anyone else. I have a thirst/wealth of knowledge about anything and everything... from music, movies, food to metaphysical questions and am looking for the same in my partner. I love to travel - I backpacked and taught english in Asia for several years before making my way to LA. I'm a Lonely Planeter guider and seek out authentic experiences and often find myself hanging with the locals away from the tourists. I love making others laugh and laugh myself. I'm a firm believer you can do whatever you want in life as long as you don't hurt others.

A poverty simulation experience is designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month. It is a simulation, not a game. The object is to sensitize participants to the realities faced by low-income people.
Oklahoma's GeoCIP – GIS-enabled Capital Improvement Planning – is an innovative tool for communities and counties to inventory, assess, and map the assets they own. It gives them the ability to make data-driven decisions on project priorities for planning and budgeting purposes. Commerce encourages good local planning by making this tool available. Commerce rewards good local planning by giving preference to project funding requests tied to a community's CIP.
In 1970, Oklahoma's governor established 11 sub-state planning districts or Councils of Governments. Councils of Government represent and are composed of local communities and counties in designated regions. Throughout the past 40 years, COGS have evolved from conduits for regional planning and grant administration to catalysts of change in all aspects of life throughout the state.

Returned from Mankato, MN and the campus Xb1 demo today. Played Forza and Killer Instinct. Great graphics and smooth game play, of course. The controller was a fast play. My hands moved left to right quickly and smoothly over the buttons and the D-pad; and same for the up and down motions over the triggers/shoulder buttons. Good movement for BF4 play. The feedback was non-intrusive and the trigger feedback felt just right. No extra pressure required to hold the controller. I have large square palms and short fingers. The controller feels really good to me. The D-pad and sticks were precise and quick to respond, no hunting and no delay in response. Use of the A/X and Y/B was easy and accurate.The smaller dip in the top of the sticks means my nails did not make creases in the rubber-like bowl on top of the sticks. The ribbing around the top of the sticks was grippy and felt solid. Forza5 was shockingly beautiful and easy to use. And I rarely play racing games. I rarely play fighting games and I really enjoyed the KI fighting mechanics...I won! Anyway, I am stoked for the launch day. I and other gamers were shocked to find out that the PS4 needs the eye to fully use the new PS4 controller functions. That will be a $70.00 addition. Decided there is not enough difference between my PS3 and PS4, so not getting one at this time. Glad I pre-ordered the Xbox1. This evolution in specs and tech in the Xbox world will be very sweet. The people running the demo had accurate info about the specs and memory management. I found no inaccuracies in the information that I have about the console and I am happy with the decisions made about how the console is designed and how it works. Cannot wait!
Remember when Johnny Carson did his psychic routine wearing the swami-type outfit? Always a hoot! OK I am going to lay down predictions about one of my favorite hobbies...Xbox gaming. I think that in 1-2 years people will have the option of having the Xbox gaming type of rig they want. (Wait, you say! It is already available? Well, technically not until Nov 2013). Full download, full connectivity with any social network, (yay for internet search during TV), or cable system, (Xbox system rebates may apply) and old school on/off simple tech delivery. MicroSoft is not a hardware company. They are not invested in obsolescence forcing new hardware for financial gain. This is one reason for the long console life-cycle of the 360. The original Xbox did not turn a profit but 360 has with their top-notch online service. But MS is into tech and will always be a step ahead in that department. Holding another envelope to my forhead (as Johnny did), I see a tough launch cycle for Xbox One extending possibly 1-3 years pending how quickly MS adapts to the psychology of the market; (and how soon Xboxers understand the benefits of the new updates). MS have their huge server system to get online, the new IPs to market, and I think they will keep the 360 in place and healthy for the folks who do not care about Blu-ray or the newest games on BR. Families on a budget, young gamers and low tech users who are not social savvy, or those with poor internet service and those who keep their CLANs on the 360. Now, here is my guess...the Xbox One should have waited to launch spring of 2014 when all the related tech & services were understood by the staff & customers. That is part of the reason why there has been confusion. However, PS4 is coming out and MS wants their customers to feel they are current...so out the door goes the new box. Another issue is that all contracts are not worked out and these future relationships will impact the Xbox One services. If consumers knew they could get $100 bucks off the cost of their XB1 by signing with a cable company; they will probably take advantage of this option. I am comfortable gaming in my easy chair and do not have the anxiety that goes with change, the unknown, nor do I see suspicious motives in the marketplace. I love having multiple options, do not obsess on 'what are the best' specs, have no anxiety over change and do not get 'mental' over not really understanding everything all at once. I do not jump to criticism, but tolerate conjecture and brainstorming as a creative activity. I do not fear big brother watching me...as I know my XBox One IS the mult-player lobby and it needs to update my stats every 24 hours (it could be any amount of time, really) to keep my gamercard current. Those on raptr & True Achievements are already accustomed to this! No sweat. The Kinect (which made a gamer from my non-gaming spouse) is extremely useful and saves time getiing me into Netflix, etc. And really, if daily exercise was in every household we wouldn't have obesity. Really. Lots of people said they did not need or want an Edison telephone, a model-T (read car), indoor plumbing, etc . Gamers!! Stay calm and have fun! Remember you may have a family that will become more tolerant of your gaming hobby if they benefit from and enjoy the living room more. Get an Xbox One and continue to enjoy your eco-system. LOL
Gotta laugh at MS bad E3 luck. The best E3 for MS ever and Sony manages to steal the thunder. And the hurrah is all for naught. The future of gaming is with Xbox One. But they are early. Sony has been early before as well and paid for it in lost market share. Remains to be seen how slow new Xbox One sales will be. Looking back at 2001 and Bill Gates announcing ("the one box for your living room" (paraphrased), at E3, xb1 seems pretty consistent with their vision of the future. SInce I mostly single or co-op play and I plan on keeping my Xbox, and the Xbox games I plan to complete; I do not feel that Sony's reactionary emo affects me at all. Many people who have Xbox achievements and who are invested in them will continue with Xbox One. The great functionality in managing the gaming environment and the xb1 exclusives are going to eventually make the those currently crying the loudest foul to eat dirt. Yeah, MS and Sony know what they are doing and the emotion that Jack Tretton leaked out sideways when he said "you can play the PS3 without being Kinected" (in a snide tone of voice), tells me that they are frustrated with consistently falling behind MS innovation and being forced to copy MS. I have never observed a MS excec put down or use sarcasm against another company. They plan their work and work their plan. There are no saints in the business world, but as a consumer of Sony products and a fan; I was disappointed in Jack's unprofessional behavior. Sony is a much more diversified corporation and I am thinking, a larger company than MicroSoft. And Sony Corp is having financial probs. Still no excuse for cheap shots, Jack Tretton. And I gotta laugh, the frustrated Sony fan-boys will call me a sheep! Oh the irony.
To finally complete a game 100%. To feel I got my monies worth. Yes, I am a cheap date however, I am a faithful one as well. Completing 1999 mode in Bioshock Infinite was a relief to finally see if my build of gear and strategy paid-off. I almost gave up when I discovered the near fatal error of not doing any heath upgrade before Finkton Docks. Because the enemy could wipe my shield in one shot and I lacked any invulnerability gear, plus did not upgrade the sniper, nor did I have a shotgun for Handyman. And had yet to pick up Overkill. I died a lot and reset my check-point to save money. I finally did everything "right" and timely and got past it. I appreciate the crafting that was done in this game. It now makes my top ten and maybe top five. 1) Elder Scrolls series 2) Mass Effect series 3) Dead Space series 4) Deus Ex 5) Halo series now 6) Bioshock Infinite next dlc will tell me more I have never pretended to be a skilled gamer, but finishing a great game like BSI makes me feel like a real gamer. Not just someone who is definitely to old to play!
And I return and find all kinds of "stuff" in the forums. Off topic is often slightly off-putting and flame wars manage to erupt. Thank-you to those calm heads who refuse to be easily offended and keep a meaningful dialogue in spite of those who impulsively reply upon their immediate sense of offense and start a flame war.
Thinking before you type and checking ones perceptions, giving the benefit of the doubt, engaging a healthy sense of objectivity and then entertaining the idea that one can really incorrectly sense tone and body language in text; is helpful and proper fire prevention behavior.
Geesh! A pile of crap is still crap no matter how much perfume one pours upon it. Perfume only masks the odor temporarily and every farmer knows that improper manure management poisons our water and air. Eventually a "civil" servant will put the pile in the proper place and it will become a nutrient resource and grow more useful items.
Well, there will always be drama kings/queens among us. Take them with a grain of salt and keep the hip-waders handy. NSFW is still a necessity. 202P may be a 25+ membership but plenty younger come calling and looking over the website.
Scorching hot most of the summer. Farming has not been fun. Anxiety about our once a year paycheck sitting out there in the droughted fields. Rain has been rare and welcomed with hope and then disappointment at the inadequacy of the amount. Harvest is starting and we will see what we get. Had to laugh about the teacher's strike in Chicago, no such deal for us on the farm. Better to have insurance this year. Enjoyed watching the eclipse events this year. Great skyscapes.
Hope everyone has fun at the LAN Halo 4 launch party. Wish I was able to attend but not this year. Bought a T-shirt. Don't really know how I could pick up my new Halo 4 console on launch day....better to stay home and go get it from Gamestop. It is looking really sweet. My Gears of War SE cracked my Skyrim disk clean through. Sent it in on warranty and got it back in about 9-10 days. Pre-ordered the new console the day it busted the disk. New disk drive was put in, I think. Whatever, it works. Paying attention to the rumors about a new 'box coming in 2014.
Gave blood a couple weeks ago and have been unenergetic since. Blah, nothing fun or inspirational to write about today. Possibly due to the political ads fatigue syndrome; am I really done with listening to them! Need to go out and ride my bicycle. All is right with the world then. Depressing news out of Egypt and Africa. Extremeists, and whats crazy is they knock everyone and cannot take any hits themselves. Feel sorry for the honest, hard working people who have some common sense and have to be embarrassed by their hate crazed countrymen. In some centuries that behavior would be a declaration of war. Never saw the you-tube vid, nor do I wanna. Hope none of my relatives put it up :) (Of course, not). We grow food, not videos. Plus we are responsible humans.
Well, time to close. Will aim for higher quality content next blog. Told you I was a no good blogger, din I?? Aye!
Well, the new site is up and running, but needs some tweaking still. Regardless, here's hoping for the best.
Bought an iPad recently and have been enjoying it immensely. (New iPad from Best Buy with 64 gigs, and their financing for 6-18 months will not last long so take heed. I do like to use the longer term, no interest at Best Buy vs paying all in one chunk when I purchase an expensive tech item. Allows time to find out if the model chosen is a good pick). Still learning the conventions of the New iPad. Absolutely does not replace the console for gaming or the laptop/desk for work. Missed a couple of FB links due to them being flash based. All in all not an issue. Like the camera for quick stuff and the graphics. Yes, battery life is shorter but still lasts all day. Since I am retired, recharging is not an issue. Apple care is a better choice for replacement warranty vs the BB replacement offer. Since my unit may be utilized in a farm tractor GPS system; I got the $100 two year replacement plan.
Teaching my octogenarian mother how to use touch screens. Learning how to use a computer is on her bucket list and I think the pad will work for this task. Used the facetime apps at easter dinner to talk with family farther away. Impressed older folks by the small footprint and fast loading times. We play table top games at family gatherings, usually the more obscure ones brought home by college kids.
Family gatherings in the midwest still focus on great food, especially family favs, multi-generational interactions and spiritual renewal. Weather was great but we need rain here in the heartland. Sang at two Easter church services this year and enjoyed the choir activities, bells, etc. No big epiphany this year, just gratitude for the family I have. And for the gaming family I have come to know on 2o2p. Peace to all. :)
The graphics and gameplay are so good these days. Especially if you played pong back in the day, as a comparison. Now, with online service available on the big screen, 3-D and the promise of better things to come; whats not to like as a gamer? Most people expect even greater things but isn't there a threshold where the visual cortex cannot go past and the future will be repackaging of the social revolution of the computer and Xbox LIVE networking services? I consider the Kinect to be an evolution in gaming not a revolution in gaming.
Can't wait for the holographic interface, er wait; could humans get lost there? In virtual space? Probably, based on brain addiction studies and video gaming. Kids who spend a lot of time gaming have noticeably larger addiction centers in the brain. Similar to chemical addicts. I grew up without video games, so not sure if my brain is affected this way. But what about sports fans, anyone who is obsessed with something that gives them tremendous feedback surges in brain and body? Sports, cooking, movies, hang-gliding, certain causes, etc. Maybe we just need to balance body, mind and spirit.
The last ear of corn has entered the rotary combine and the golden grain separated and sieved. Harvest 2011 is history. The year began in flooding and has ended in a drought. I and the ten year old hauled wagon loads of soybeans to the elevator and shagged wagons hither and yon. With the crop in the grain bins, I breathe a sigh of relief and say a prayer of thanksgiving that we went through it all safely. Farming is a game where the farmer gambles on mother nature and depends on a benefecent glory solely by faith. So much can go wrong and so often it all turns out right. The rhythm of the seasons is a wondrous thing. I am grateful for many unpredictable and tangible things. No wonder the Plymouth Rock settlers inspired the Thanksgiving holiday. Peace everyone. :)
Travelled to the land of black hills, roulette wheels and presidents in stone. The folks out there are hardy and still work for bigger companies. Just like the old days when the larger mines took over the independents. Learned to play Texas hold'em in Red Dead Redemption and was looking forward to playing a little (probably naive that, but I was able to pick up the AI patterns in the game and use it to my advantage to clear tables) but our hotel only had 21. No five finger fillet, either, ha!
The prices of hotel rooms are outrageous during Sturgis ($200.00 plus) but if you find a hotel run by a company of which you are a member, you will do better. Remember to ask about rates and what the hotels can do prior to noon...they will negotiate with you more willingly. Tell them thanks and you want to look around a bit. You can get $80.00 rates off the week-end of Fri/Sat.
The hotels rake in dinero on the slots, but I did win $200.00 and was smart enought to quit while I was ahead. I don't have an addictive personality type so, gambling is boring with annoying lights, noise, etc., unless I am figuring odds in poker. The kids had an indoor pool to play in so they were happy. Food is great but Spearfish has the kid type fast food vs more expensive hotel food. Recommend the western Heritage museum in Spearfish. If I hadn't been atending a wedding, I would have rather stayed in Rapid City or Spearfish. Missed the vanilla bean bakery in Spearfish, though.
Need to finish Red Dead and start Deus Ex...just killing time waiting for Skyrim. Busy hosting a bicyclist from Milwaukee that is biking to Oregon, more later on that.

I'm guessing that he means the tone of the series. It won't be as light as the original or as dark as the reboot but somewhere in between.

Staying Healthy While You Travel
Preventing illness or injury is a big part of making your trip relaxing and enjoyable. Because some destinations have environments that may be very different from the area you live in, and, particularly, travel to developing countries pose certain risks, it is important to take certain precautions.
Healthy preparations before you travel:
If you are planning to travel outside the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that you:
- prepare a complete travel itinerary, listing each destination, length of stay, and types of activities planned.
- contact your travel agent to obtain local health information, including food and beverage precautions, information regarding insects and other pests, and the availability of emergency medical care.
- check with your insurance company to determine what coverage your policy provides for travel abroad.
- contact your physician for an up-to-date immunization record and make an appointment to receive necessary vaccinations at least six weeks before you plan to leave.
- obtain specific information on preventive health recommendations based on your itinerary by contacting the CDC's Travel Information Web site.
Be sure to also get prescription medications refilled to last the entire duration of the trip. Take extra prescriptions for medications, as well as necessary eyewear, in case it is necessary to have medications filled while abroad. Wear a medical information bracelet, if necessary, and take along a first aid kit for minor emergencies that may arise.
Healthy reminders for while you are traveling:
Eat carefully if traveling to a country with an increased risk of traveler's diarrhea.
- Eat foods that are steaming hot and well-cooked, as these are usually the safest.
- Avoid eating foods from street vendors, no matter how appetizing they look.
- Avoid unpasteurized dairy products and raw or uncooked seafood.
- Peel fruits yourself.
- Drink commercially bottled water or carbonated beverages.
- Avoid ice.
- Use bottled water when brushing your teeth.
If you are traveling to a country with an increased risk of malaria, obtain a prescription for preventive medicine for this disease from your physician. The medication needs to be taken before you go on your trip, during your travels, and for four weeks after you return.
Avoid swimming and any water activities in freshwater lakes and streams as you may be exposed to certain diseases. If you are traveling to a country with an increased risk of disease transmitted by mosquitoes, be sure to protect yourself with insect repellents, special clothing, and bednets while traveling in these areas.

random ddxSigGiveUp on running System SLI
1 Attachment(s)
Hi there, i've now changed my Interface from KDE to Gnome and upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 Beta, but still get those Crashes with 2 x gtx 460 @ SLI=Auto!
If i run my System with only one Card i get no System-Freezes at all!
Using Driver 260.x.x !! Also apply's for all lower Drivers.
Hope Someone could help me now, as the nvidia-bug-report.sh works under Ubuntu! Beofre tried with Kubuntu and does not work (nana2)
Re: random ddxSigGiveUp on running System SLI
SLI in Linux on Fermi is garbage and NVIDIA doesn't seem to be too interested in fixing it.
The freezing and stuttering is its biggest problem right now, as well as the very poor performance.
You cannot play StarCraft II in wine using SLI, you'd pull your hair out.
Although its good to finally see somebody else running SLI'd Fermi's in Linux besides me.
Re: random ddxSigGiveUp on running System SLI
I got lesser freezes than an Kubuntu 10.04 and ~40 fps in Darlaran @ World of Wacraft opengl mode all settings maxed out. Dunno if this is good...
But good to know i'm not alone xD
P.S. I'm thinking Microsoft is Paying big Companies to not develop games, drivers and Software, that would make any OS Better than theirs, just think about it -> Games for Windows lol

Revenue cycle managers are responsible for overseeing billing accounts and helping departments resolve their revenue cycle problems. They oversee the billing teams that manage accounts, communications with insurance, collections, contract analysis, cash posting, billing transactions with clients, and report creation. The revenue cycle manager helps ensure that these areas run smoothly, and they must detect problems in the billing systems and correct them accordingly.Read More...
This position requires an innovative person, as new solutions and automation in various billing areas must be created by a revenue cycle manager. The revenue cycle manager usually implements a system to ensure that billing communication to and from the customer reaches the billing system smoothly. When there are problems with billing related to patients and/or insurance, a revenue cycle manager must develop a solution. The revenue cycle manager may work in a medical facility or office setting, but also move around the facility to communicate with various departments. Generally, this is a full-time job that takes place during regular office hours.
A bachelor's degree in finance or business administration is usually required for this position, and relevant experience is necessary for many positions. Revenue cycle managers should have a knowledge of how Medicare works, as many of the patients may be using Medicare. Since the revenue cycle manager oversees many billing departments, leadership skills are important; often, leadership experience in similar positions is needed. These managers should also be proficient with basic computer programs such as the Microsoft Office suite.
Survey takers who work as Revenue Cycle Managers typically report just a few professional skills. Most notably, skills in Financial Analysis, Billing, Medical Coding, and Medicaid & Medicare Billing are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Medicaid & Medicare Billing. Most people familiar with Billing also know Medical Coding.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and pay tend to be weakly linked for Revenue Cycle Managers — those with more experience do not necessarily bring in higher earnings. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $53K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $64K. Revenue Cycle Managers claiming one to two decades of experience make an estimated median of $68K. Old hands boasting more than twenty years of relevant experience report pay that is more or less commensurate with that extensive experience; average earnings for this group come out to approximately $76K.
With a pay rate for Revenue Cycle Managers that is 27 percent greater than the national average, New York offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Revenue Cycle Managers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like Seattle (+26 percent), Houston (+19 percent), Dallas (+13 percent), and Boston (+5 percent). The smallest paychecks in the market, 7 percent south of the national average, can be found in Cincinnati.

America attacksLeader: The US airstrikes which reportedly killed large numbers of people in southern Somalia on Sunday and Monday - whether they are jihadi militants or civilians is not yet known - were the first overt military action Washington has taken in the country since 1994, the year after bloody clashes between UN forces and warlords and the grim Black Hawk Down battle which left 18 US servicemen dead.
Coming in from the coldLeader: David Cameron lit the pilot light on a row about high energy charges this week just as the news came through that Russia had halted oil exports to Europe through Belarus.
In praise of... the sexual orientation regulationsLeader: The change in law requiring organisations to treat gay and lesbian people just as they would treat anyone else, is a sensible recognition of a form of equality which already been accepted by parliament in everything from a single age of consent to civil partnerships.
Corrections and clarificationsIn a report headed Kelly defends private school decision, posted on our Education website, January 8, we said that Ruth Kelly's decision to send her son to an independent boarding school echoed earlier decisions by, among others, Harriet Harman who had educated her children privately.

Blair flies in to a flood of protest
Letters: Tony Blair may well be correct that even if Britain's emissions ceased tomorrow, those from China would outstrip this amount in two years (Carry on flying, says Blair, January 8).
Difficult choices for parents and politiciansLetters: Ruth Kelly's decision to purchase educational provision from the private sector for her son who has special educational needs is yet another sign of New Labour hypocrisy (Report, January 9).
New prisoner convention neededLetters: The fifth anniversary of Guantánamo and the plight of one of the British residents still there, as described by his lawyer, G Brent Mickum (Comment, January 8), again spotlights a long-running injustice under international law.

[cry] Big post gone because the forum's code decided to crap things up. [/cry]
So, lets keep it short this time. Sorry for the badly written post, really got ###### off that the whole page crashed for some dumb reason when I was trying to modify the <> code blocks.
It seems that one cannot get the correct window colour on Windows 8.1 using the simple SystemColors.WindowColorKey access. It always returns white on 8.1, leading me to believe that this part of the OS is a bit broken, since my windows are currently orange and not white. Accessing it like this currently in my WPF app:
Background="{DynamicResource {x:Static SystemColors.WindowColorKey}}
Could someone please go into Settings -> Display and change the theme colour to match the Aero theme colour? What do you get then, the appropriate colour of your windows / frames, or just pure white?
EDIT: I've tried ALL of the SystemColors and none of them seem to return the appropriate colour. It looks like this may be a bug due to the removal of Aero?
