If I knew someone who had suffered the loss of their teenage child, I would never say, "I'm sorry for the loss of your teenager." What a terrible thing to say, right? I, in no way, want to sound like I did not appreciate the love that other people gave me, but I do want to educate on the respectful way to speak to a parent after they suffer the loss of a very young child.
From Arron, his death and now from Jim, I have learned so much about living life. Doing things that scare you, saying "yes" as much as possible, being exhausted in a good way. From Jim, I have learned that some risks are fun and have adventuresome outcomes and some are not worth taking. The trick is knowing the difference.

Life is what you make of it, give it your all with a good attitude!
I'm the type of guy who likes to be outgoing with actions instead of words. I go above and beyond in any endeavor I take on with purpose and drive. I am extremely responsible, loyal, self motivated and I constantly challenge myself to learn and do what others won't try. I look for opportunities to rally and inspire people to take things to the next level, I build hope, I challenge others, one can say I translate words into action. I never fear rolling up my sleeves to get something done that I believe in - I lead by example and put pride in everything I do. I live the motto of "When there is a will, there is a way!" I am very grateful for my career in Online Marketing & Product Management but it doesn't meet my high standards for growth and contribution to help others. I need that balance! I learned to meet my needs through volunteering back to the community in areas I am passionate about. I have a lot of energy, drive and wanted to put it to something useful. I belong to 11 organizations ranging from the Red Cross, a couple of Lithuanian cultural community organizations, Lithuanian scout leadership, a volunteer search and rescue part of the LAPD, multiple community disaster preparedness groups with the fire department, and a couple of other groups I started like a company leadership group, a toastmasters club, a ski club and a sailing club for my friends. I enjoy life to the fullest and try to maximize every waking minute. I guess you can say I don't really wait or wish for things to happen - I make things happen. As for hobbies, never a dull moment - I always loved the water being an Aquarius. Anything from scuba diving, water skiing, boating, sailing to the new adventures in surfing. I enjoy going to extremes to learn new hobbies like Krav Maga (self-defense training) or going to extreme in endurance to run 3 half marathons this year. Lastly, even willing to conquer mountains by hiking, rock climbing, or sailing over them in a hot air balloon. Some of my friends joke around saying I can challenge the dos equis guy for the title of the most interesting man in the world but I think I need a couple of more hobbies. :) I am sure I missed a lot of things to write about but that will just lead to better conversations when we meet. Just a disclaimer - I am known to be a goofball at times and could occasionally laugh at my own jokes - even before I tell it! Hopefully that's entertaining to someone out there! Now it's just a matter of you getting back to me after reading all this. I am always looking forward to it, even if you just say Hi - I definitively don't bite. I will make sure to get back to you and make it a priority! :)

I like Dogs
I've had just about every kind of pet except for a horse. Dogs are my favorite since they are most practical and trainable to help humans. I plan to start training soon to be a K9 handler for my search and rescue group.
Middle of the Road
I have lots of favorite places in LA like Mozza, Church & State, Lil Dom's, WP24, Taix, Figaro Bistrot, Louie Bottega, and Comme Ca. I also love dining out on the West side at Mastro's, James' Beach, and Viceroy.
Music - always puts me in a great state of mind; dining out – love going out and socializing with friends; traveling - to see new places and experience new things; volunteering - keeps myself grounded.
I really enjoy spending time outside and away from a computer. I am an avid sailor, rock climber, scuba diver and runner. I also enjoy web design, photography, video editing, advanced first aid and keeping current with technology.
I read a couple of great books about Steve Jobs. I really admire him for his creativity & inspirational words. "The 4-Hour Work Week" is a great book to get inspired about if you're into entrepreneurship.

Audio Drama Review: The Last Act
The Last Act brings Roger Llewellyn's long-running, Sherlock Holmes, one-man play to audio. The story finds a somber Holmes reflecting on his life and career after Watson's funeral. It's an emotional and occasionally heartbreaking performance as Holmes reflects on his friend and his career. "You never appreciate the best things, the best people, until they're gone."
Not every moment is somber. There are humorous moments as Holmes will reflect on one of his friend's oddities or on Lestrade's unremarkable career that saw him never rise above Inspector.
The play covers a variety of ground. From "The Abbey Grange" to "The Speckled Band" "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House" and The Hound of the Baskervilles and many more, Holmes offers his reflections on his cases and it's a Tour de Force performance.
I enjoyed the second half far less as it offered insights into Holmes' dark secrets, including his little discussed childhood. On one hand, this explained Holmes being merciful in one particular case. On the other, there's a certain modern conceit that tries to explain everything anyone does as a result of some childhood trauma to provide motivation. This can be seen in superhero fiction where so many characters' origins are being rewritten reflect that sort of trauma. It becomes somewhat monotonous in fiction when no one ever does anything good, noble, or heroic unless a parent was killed or was abusive, or some other trauma occurred to explain it.
I also didn't like the way Holmes' drug use was addressed. In the books, Watson claims to have weaned him off cocaine. However, the play insists Holmes' use continued unknown to Watson and it leads the play into a dour place. While some would argue this is more realistic than the books (which removed the cocaine habit as it became socially unacceptable) and it might be clever to undermine audience expectations by moving from downbeat to depressing, I wasn't pleasantly surprised by the turn.
Still, the play is well-written even if I have issues with the tone, Llewellyn's performance as Holmes (and twelve other characters) is pitch perfect and thoroughly engaging. He captures Holmes as a man trying to come to terms with the greatest loss in his life as a lifetime of emotional restraint begins to ebb away. I only wish the play had a more satisfactory conclusion.

TV Series Review: Ellery Queen
While four television shows bore the name of Ellery Queen, one incarnation is the undisputed best. The series starred Jim Hutton as Ellery Queen with David Wayne as Inspector Richard Queen.
Hutton first played the master detective in the 1975 Telefilm, "Too Many Suspects" which then led to a 22 episode run in the 1975-76 series.
The series was set in Post-War New York City with Ellery as a mystery writer often called in by his father on various cases. Only one suspect ever cried foul on this odd process.
The mysteries are well-written and well-crafted and very traditional, trying to provide a sense of fair play and usually succeeding. Though in one case, "The Adventure of Auld Lang Syne," I don't think anyone could have come up with a proper solution based on what was shown on TV. Still, following the tradition of the book and the golden age radio series, before the solution was revealed, Ellery issued his challenge to the viewers to see if they could solve the case.
There was great chemistry between Hutton and Wayne who made a solid and believable team, and played off each other beautifully.
In the majority of episodes, Queen wasn't the only one trying to solve the case. He had a rival who was also collecting clues, sharing some findings with Ellery and hoping to come to a conclusion. Several times he faced off with the Suave and sophisticated Simon Brenner (John Hillerman) who was a criminologist who played himself on the radio but also tried to solve real life mysteries. He'd come up with very clever and well thought out solutions that always turned out to be wrong. When Brenner wasn't around, resourceful newshound Frank Flannigan (Ken Swofford) would often try to solve the case from right under the police's nose.
The program featured an embarassment of riches when it came to its guest stars. Adding to the 1940s atmosphere, many great stars of the Golden Age radio appeared in the series including George Burns, Dana Andrews, Don Ameche, Lloyd Nolan, Rudy Vallee, Vincent Price, and Arthur Godfrey. In one episode, Eve Arden (best known for Our Miss Brooks) played the star of a radio soap who was murdered. Beyond the radio stars, such classic TV and film stars such as Ken Berry, Eva Gabor, Tom Bosley, and Bob Crane featured.
The series did a good job capturing its era with the vehicles, the cultural references, and the overall feel although it did occasionally deal with issues that were emphasized less during the era itself such as payola. Some of the portrayals of how radio drama worked were more played for comedic value than for realism. Still, this was a very wonderful period series.
Unfortunately, the series was cancelled after a single season, losing its time slot consistently to ABC's Streets of San Francisco. Despite how well beloved by fans, it faced two challenges.
The 1970s was a great era for the TV detective, similar to the late 1940s for radio detectives. Ellery Queen began airing in the era of Columbo, McCloud, Mcmillan and Wife, Rockford, Kojak, Canon, and Barnaby Jones. However, its period feel and strict puzzle story format made it different from its competitors but perhaps they were too different.
As a postscript, the creators of 1970s Ellery Queen TV Series, Richard Levinson and William Link, waited eight years and then did another program featuring a Mystery writer as the main character and found great success with Murder She Wrote. Star Jim Hutton died at a young age, but his son, Tim would go on to star in a Nero Wolfe mystery as Archie Goodwin. Suggesting that the attraction to doing well-made but short-lived, great period detective television shows ran in the family.

Submission and Prison Cells: Part 2
by Melissa Permission to Live Click here for Part OneLet me start by saying a sincere "I am sorry" to "Yellowbunnys" (whoever she was, and wherever she is now) and to all the other women I shamed that day.

Millipede: Part 8
by MillipedeThe next couple of years were what I would call the "golden years" of Patriarchy. By this I mean that we were living the Patriarchal dream, with the husband "leading" and providing and the wife keeping the home and being submissive. It was the apex of our journey; we were finally living the lifestyle.As i wrote earlier it was during this time that I experienced the joys of having the time to pursue varied interests. My husband drove overland the first year or so and then the latter part, he had a regional route. This meant that he was gone for weeks at a time when he was going across country. Later, with a regional route, he was home every weekend. In retrospect, I think … [Read more...]

What part of the fabric do you think needs improvement?
The shades and texture of the fabric match those of the rest of the image.
Overall the end result is impressive.

Are you working in photoshop? If so, try doing the patterns on a separate layer and changing the blending mode. Overlay and multiply are two blending modes I would try first.
April 30th, 2014 #4
To me what seems to be off is the the perspective of the patterns. It looks like you have a 2D pattern on a 3D object. It's not as noticeable on the sleeve because of all the light and dark patches in the folds, but I can especially see it on the fabric around the waist and front part of the shoulder. If you are using photoshop I would suggest duplicating the layer and playing around with the pattern using warp, scale, and perspective. Select only certain areas of the pattern and adjust accordingly to the perspective.
For example, the diamond pattern around the waist... the diamonds should be getting skinnier or appear closer together horizontally as it gets closer to the background.
Here's a good example of patterns and how the perspective affects them.

Although nice to access the map through 3G/4G, it would be more convenient to sync the directory (similar to LDS Tools) over a wifi connection before heading out to rescue the members. This would be more beneficial for units with large boundaries. My current work around for my Android tablet has been to use Google bookmarks to star household locations on Google maps. Anyone else have similar needs or thoughts?

Stayed 2 nights July 4th and 5th. The rooms were very small and the pool is also very small. The pool area is not painted with slip proof paint, and we had a fall in the group on the first night. We purchased the bed and breakfast package, registering two adults and two children. We had problems with the on site resturant since one child was over the age of 12. If you're planning to stay, purchasing the bed and breakfast rate, you should list any child between the ages of 12-18 as an adult in the room so that the resturant will honoor your prepaid breakfast. We had a lot of problems whenever we had to interact with the front desk because they listed us under one room number, but gave us another, so according to them we did not exist. Overall, I am disatisfied with the quality and service provided at the DoubleTree, and would not reccomend. There was no effort put forth by the staff to make our stay pleasant, and I will not be returning.

Jada Pinkett-Smith has revealed that it was her pop singing daughter Willow Smith who encouraged her to start working to raise awareness about human trafficking and sex slavery. Willow was so moved by watching the Kony 2012 video, that she started to do some research into the matter of child trafficking within the Usa. According to Usa Today, Willow said to her mother "Mommy, you don't know what's happening!'" Jada said that her reaction was to say "hold up, pause right there! And, she was like, 'I've got to give my voice to this. These young girls out there need me.'"
Along with her husband, Will Smith, Jada visited the State Department yesterday (June 19, 2012) for Hillary Clinton's release of the 2012 Trafficking in Persons Report. Pinkett Smith has declared that she intends to continue campaigning to raise awareness of the issue, now that she knows how much of a problem it is. "I was actually really quite ashamed that I didn't know about this particular situation in our country, because when you think about human trafficking, you think about it 'over there.' Wherever 'there' is."
She has already recorded a song, 'Nada Se Compara' for the Dontsellbodies.org website, with her band Wicked Evolution. Salma Hayek stars in the video for the song. "When you talk about modern-day slavery, you don't see chains," said Jada. "It's all about the mind. . So, it's a very layered, complex issue that's going to take some time for us to figure out how to pull apart. . Right now, we just have to get aware."

Ben Turner hit in the three-hole for the first time this season and went 3-5 in the loss.
April 15, 2012
NORMAN, Okla. - The Mizzou baseball team dropped its series finale at Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon (April 15), 5-4, at L. Dale Mitchell Park in Norman. Tiger freshman Brett Graves made his second start of the week and was charged with his fourth loss of the season as he went 2.2 innings, allowing three earned runs. OU's Jonathan Gray earned the win after giving up just two earned runs in 5.2 innings. Mizzou is now 18-17 overall and 3-9 in Big 12 play. Nine of the last 12 games between Mizzou and OU have been decided by two or fewer runs.
The sweep for the Sooners is the first in the series by either team since 2006 when the Sooners won all three against the Tigers in Norman. Mizzou held the lead in all three games on the weekend, including on Sunday as is scored two runs in the third inning before allowing a three-spot in the bottom half of the frame. Brannon Champagne extended his streak to 27 straight games reaching base safely, which is the second-best active streak in the Big 12. Ben Turner led the Tigers are the plate, going 3-5.
Oklahoma threatened to score off of Graves in the first inning as leadoff hitter Erik Ross tagged a double off the wall in right field to open the game. But Graves got a flyout to center and then induced a 5-4-3 double play off the bat of Max White, stranding runners on the corners. After Mizzou was retired in order in the top of the second, Graves came back out and retired the OU side in the bottom half of the frame.
The Tigers - just as they did in all three games of the series - got on the board first on Sunday as Turner, hitting in the three-hole for the first time this season, roped a one-out double to right center field to score Champagne and Conner Mach, giving Mizzou a 2-0 lead.
After breezing through the first two innings, Graves ran into trouble in the third as he gave up an RBI single to Erik Ross and a two-out double off the wall in center by White as the Sooners took a 3-0 lead. That gave way to Jeff Emens, who came on in relief of Graves.
He retired the first two batters that he faced before allowing a one-out triple in the bottom of the fourth to Evan Mistich before he was batted in by Garrett Carey to give OU a 4-2 lead. The Tigers continued to struggle to plate any runs in the fifth as Mach was the only player to reach base in the inning, drawing a one-out walk, but he was stranded on first base to end the frame.
Mizzou knocked OU starter Jonathan Gray out of the game in the sixth inning with two outs as it loaded the bases. But Steven Okert struck out Dillon Everett to end the threat, preserving OU's 4-2 lead heading to the bottom of the sixth inning. The Tigers again loaded the bases in the seventh inning after a pair of hit batters and a walk, but Eric Garcia grounded into a fielder's choice to short, ending the threat.
From there, Tiger reliever Dusty Ross came on to try and keep the Tigers within striking distance of the Sooners, but he allowed a one-out double in the bottom of the seventh to Ross, his fourth hit of the day off of Tiger pitching. Caleb Bushyhead then hit the Sooners' second double of the inning with two outs, scoring Ross and extending the Sooner lead to 5-2.
The Tigers put runners on the corners again in the eighth inning. Things then got interesting in the ninth as Michael McGraw tallied a two-run double with two outs in the ninth to plate a pair of runs, but Scott Sommerfeld grounded out to third, stranding McGraw in scoring position and ending the game.
The Tigers will have a few days off before welcoming Kansas State to Taylor Stadium for a three-game set next weekend. That series begins on Friday at 6:30 p.m. For all the latest on Mizzou baseball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MUTigerBaseball.
- Brannon Champagne walked in the top of the third, extending his streak to 27 straight games reaching base safely. That is now the second-best active streak in the Big 12, trailing only Texas leadoff hitter Mark Payton (31 straight games).
- Conner Mach hit in the leadoff spot for the first time this season and went 2-4. Of course this is worth noting because when he was moved to the leadoff spot last season, it sparked the Tigers to four straight Big 12 series wins and a run to the Big 12 Championship Game at the Big 12 Tournament. As a leadoff hitter, Mach is now 34-for-102 (.333) in his career.
- The Tigers scored first in all three games of the series despite losing all three games. The sweep marks the first for the Sooners against the Tigers since 2006, also coming in Norman.
- Blake Brown saw his 21-game hit streak come to an end just five shy of the school record. It is still the best by a Big 12 player this season.
- Ben Turner hit in the three-hole for the first time this season and went 3-5 to lead Mizzou at the plate.

India Polls: India election campaign ends with conflicting visions
Published on May 10, 2014 9:04 PM
NEW DELHI (AFP) - Ruling Congress party leader Rahul Gandhi warned on Saturday of an India divided by caste and creed if the Hindu nationalist opposition wins power, as campaigning ended in the nation's multi-stage election.
Mr Gandhi sought to muster a final show of Congress strength in the holy Hindu city of Varanasi with the party struggling to snatch victory from the jaws of a widely forecast election defeat by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The BJP "only wants to divide people, make people fight each other," Mr Gandhi told a rally in temple-studded Varanasi, one of the last constituencies due to vote in Monday's final day of balloting.
The results of the marathon election will be known on Friday. Varanasi is being contested by Mr Narendra Modi, a charismatic but divisive politician who is tipped to lead the BJP to power after a decade in opposition and be India's next prime minister.

The first notable tournament of the Asian fall season, Tokyo in its early stages featured notably lackluster tennis between players jaded from the long season. Double faults have run rampant, feet have moved sluggishly, and body language has looked tepid. Now that the critical stages have arrived, however, spectators can hope for that trend to change. We preview the diverse group of quarterfinals at this Premier Five tournament.
Errani vs. Petrova: Well aware that her second serve dangles a tempting invitation to opponents, Errani protected her greatest weakness by serving at 80% through her first two matches. The Roland Garros finalist no longer needs to prove herself on hard courts after reaching a semifinal at the US Open, in addition to a quarterfinal in Melbourne before her breakthrough in Paris. Against Bartoli, an outstanding returner who should have mauled her serve, she struggled to hold for the first set and a half but found the competitive resilience to turn the tide. Once she did, Errani cruised to victory with much less drama than her quarterfinal challenger endured. Also impressive at the US Open, where she won seven sets, Petrova managed to outlast rising star Petra Martic on Wednesday in the longest match of the tournament. Splitting tiebreaks in the first two sets, she pounced alertly to claim an early lead in the final set that she nearly but not quite relinquished at the end. After those 191 minutes of tension, however, the 30-year-old veteran may lack the energy or patience to cope with Errani's versatility. While her 15 aces dazzled at first glance, a first-serve percentage below 50% probably will not earn her sufficient free points to compensate for the Italian's advantage in the longer exchanges. Earlier this year at the Australian Open, Petrova succumbed meekly to the woman who has risen to #7 in the world during a season that has surpassed anything in her imagination.
Sharapova vs. Stosur: Perhaps fortunate to escape her notorious nemesis Schiavone, the Australian trailed by a set and later by a break in the third set before she edged through that encounter. Having shed the rust that perhaps clung to her then, Stosur played a much more convincing match against the less intimidating Cibulkova, dominating behind a serve that she never dropped. Despite the fast surface, she still found ways to construct points around her forehand more often than one might have expected, and the efficient victory should have saved her vital stamina for the tournament's later stages. Stosur will need that stamina to overcome the balance of power in a strikingly lopsided rivalry with her quarterfinal opponent, who has captured 10 of their 11 previous meetings in often overwhelming fashion. But the underdog's lone success came during the post-US Open fall season, at the 2011 year-end championships, and she appeared to build upon that momentum shift to nearly repeat the feat on the indoor clay of Stuttgart this spring. In perhaps the best WTA match of the year, Sharapova saved a match point late in the second set before earning the triumph that, more than any other, launched her towards that historic moment in Paris. Consistently inconsistent in her opener against Watson, the four-time major champion sharpened her weapons significantly to avenge an earlier loss inflicted by Safarova. If both women found the level that they showcased in Stuttgart, the quality of play in this hitherto lackluster week should rise a notch, or two or three.
Azarenka vs. Kerber: Close to her 60th victory of a peripatetic season, Kerber has not paid the price for a busier schedule than most players of her newfound level. She encountered no significant resistance in her first two Tokyo matches, able to rebound from a disappointing fortnight in New York. A more capable mover than her size would suggest, Kerber counterpunches by nature but can attack when the opportunity presents itself, as a semifinal appearance at Wimbledon proved. Although Azarenka has defeated her twice in straight sets this year, she stayed competitive through most of both matches and strung together a few sequences in which she outmaneuvered the world #1 from the baseline. Only two players have solved Vika on her favorite surface in 2012, one of them Serena in an epic US Open final, so the challenge looms large for Kerber. All the same, Azarenka's form sometimes has dwindled in the fall, and one wonders whether she will need to confront memories of her heartbreak in New York should Kerber stay within range again. Through two matches, the top seed has conceded just eight games in her usual early-round declaration of intent, and she handled the crafty Vinci with ease on Wednesday. In the absence of Serena and Kvitova, Azarenka becomes the clear favorite to win every hard-court tournament that she enters, so the pressure rests on her for the rest of this week.
Radwanska vs. Wozniacki: Outstanding in the first half, the Wimbledon finalist suffered a perceptible decline during the second half with early losses at the Olympics and US Open as well as the two Premier Five tournaments in North America. Doubtless glad to avoid Li, who inflicted both of the latter setbacks, Radwanska faces an equally stern test in a possibly resurgent Wozniacki. On an unexpected eight-match winning streak after she lost in the first round of the US Open, the Dane still can harbor hopes of qualifying for the year-end championships but must plow deep into both Tokyo and Beijing. Her three-set comeback against Li last night represented arguably her finest victory of the year, and certainly her best since upsetting Serena in Miami. Halted by the Chinese star at marquee moments before, Wozniacki should have gained confidence from that victory that will help her against a rival whom she has dominated. Before Radwanska narrowly defeated her in Sydney this year, she had won five consecutive meetings with her friend and fellow counterpuncher. Now that the tables have turned in 2012 regarding their overall success, the world #3 seeks to impose that change upon her rivalry with the former #1. Despite games seemingly at odds with the fast surface, each has won Tokyo before en route to completing the Asian sweep in Beijing. Expect plenty of long rallies from women who often compile microscopic totals in both winners and unforced errors. Against the rhythmic baseline defense of Wozniacki stands the arrhythmic craft of Radwanska, the most imaginative player in either top 10.

"Nobody sits in Vlad's seat"
Oct 28, 2010, 1:29 PM EDT
Interesting insight from Buster Olney on Vlad Guerrero today:
Vladimir Guerrero is more than just the Rangers' cleanup hitter. He is a centerpiece of respect and dignity and consistency, the wise old man of the group. He sits in the same seat on the team's bus everyday, and if you happen to sit in his seat accidentally, before he arrives, one of the other players will politely inform you that you are residing in Vlad's seat.
Then, after going over the possibilities for Game 2 — including benching Vlad — Olney says:
But within the Rangers family, which has functioned particularly well this year, the impact of those kinds of alterations would probably disturb their internal dynamic — and Washington probably does not want to be perceived as changing stuff. Remember: Nobody sits in Vlad's seat. And it's hard to imagine, unless Guerrero went to Washington and took himself out of the lineup before Game 2, that anybody else would be hitting cleanup and playing right field.
Most of us ignore the internal clubhouse dynamics most of the time because we simply can't know about them. Then we hear stuff like this and it makes us re-think what happens on a baseball field. Not every sub-optimal decision by a manager is a "dumb" decision. A lot of the times they're driven by all manner of concerns, some tactical, some political. We'd probably be better served as fans to consider that more often. God knows I ignore it most of the time.
That said, this is the World Series. And with all due respect to Vlad Guerrero's seat on the bus, if the Rangers want the best chance to win Game 2, he should probably have a seat on the bench. And I bet even those on the Rangers who revere him the most would agree with that.

Time for someone else to sit in Vlad's seat – or at least hit spot in RF. Any team or player will tell you that you do different things in the playoffs than you do in the regular season.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Oct 28, 2010 at 1:37 PM
I bet Frenchy sits in Vlad's seat all the time just to be a douchenozzle. He then explains to Vlad that OBP doesn't matter and Vlad responds stating "yeah, maybe if you can hit in the first place, now get up and get the shine box bitch!"

If he really wants to be wise and be this member of the team that the other guys look up to, he should know his role right now and sit down for a game or two at least, because that would be best for the team. Put Murphy out there.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Oct 28, 2010 at 1:51 PM
True. And it's just ONE game for now and maybe 6 and 7, if necessary. Otherwise, he can DH back down in Texas.
- mcsnide - Oct 28, 2010 at 1:51 PM
Over at the book blog, they ran some sims on this very question: http://www.insidethebook.com/ee/index.php/site/article/how_much_does_playing_guerrero_in_game_2_cost/. If you consider the club dynamics and MGL's finding of a very small advantage, Washington's probably making the right call.
- The Rabbit - Oct 28, 2010 at 6:33 PM
There's another reason that Vlad gets respect….His mom's cooking. There was an extensive article about it when he was with the Angels.
When she's visiting him, she cooks enough food for an army and he transports to the clubhouse. Even the visiting teams stop in for dinner.
BTW, Her recipes looked awesome.
- Adam - Oct 28, 2010 at 6:57 PM
Actually I think the Rangers should stick with the "nobody sits in Vlad's seat" theory. Because that would keep him at DH, where he's been all year. That's why he was awful last night, he was sitting in the wrong seat!

"It's a sign of the times ..." we often hear and say in observance of just about anything we don't particularly agree with. The irony of course is that the criticism comes equally from opposing views on the same issue. Both young and old, conservative and liberal, religious and atheist alike claim this judgmental position as their own; neither admitting fault in their perspective; both claiming moral superiority, albeit from differing authorities.
Gun-control, national debt, fashion styles, music, language, and love — all draw ample commentary, replete with emotion and often lacking in facts.
Have you ever found yourself speaking out on a topic or issue without really knowing all of the facts? Just running on the emotional charge you've attached to the subject?
I know I've been guilty. My kids have accused me of it, and rightly so at times, when I react to a convenient and limited amount of information.
I've also been the target of ill-informed critics, who are quick to levy judgment without consideration of the whole.
I've learned to ask a lot of questions before jumping to conclusions, a discipline that has served me well in the home, the church, at work and in my civic duties. It's not an excuse for apathy, nor a substitute for decisive leadership. It's a sign of maturity and wisdom, attributes I try to develop in myself and to instill in my kids.
With the coming of a new year I am expecting more from myself. I should engage vigorously, but armed with sufficient information on important issues affecting my family and my community.
So the next time, I catch myself "tsk-tsk'ing" and shaking my head at the news, and uttering that familiar refrain, I'm going to ask myself: "Do I have enough information to make a fair and just decision on this topic?" And: "Is the information I have accurate?"
There are a number of important issues facing our community and nation in 2013. It's worth taking the time to investigate.
I'm making it a goal this year to have ears to hear the whole truth, eyes to see things from an eternal perspective and a tongue to speak words that are beneficial to others.

Jay Lethal bashes CM Punk
A rather interesting thing took place at the ROH anniversary show on Sunday night. Jay Lethal cut a promo before defending the Television Championship against Alberto Del Rio. One of the things he said will probably not sit well with AJ Lee and CM Punk. Lethal stated that he was not someone that would take things that are handed down to him. He then pointed out that Punk was a guy that took a girl that he handed down.

Do turbolifts have any sense?
View Single Post
July 2 2013, 01:31 PM
Re: Do turbolifts have any sense?
There was apparently also turbo lift failure below Deck 3 in "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield", forcing Lokai & Bele to make their way down to Deck 5 (at least) by using (unseen) stairways.
And this, I'd think, would be a "failure" engineered by the Cheronites - or more accurately by Bele, to hinder Lokai's attempt at escaping - as they had amply demonstrated their ability to jam and pervert the starship's systems.
In the case of evacuation, they would definately need to have routes that not only avoided turbolifts, but also provided several alternatives in case of hull breaches, decompression, fires etc.
shows us just such an example, where Geordi is forced to use the Jefferies Tubes to make his way to the saucer section. In
First Contact
, the entire remaining crew are able to evacuate the
without having to fight their way through Borg-controlled decks.
The tri-ladders of the TOS set probably help with this a lot; going up or down one deck should help clear obstacles such as horizontal turboshafts or local breaches easily enough.
The tri-ladders pose the problem of not having a visible means of being sealed either vertically or horizontally, though. Although there could well be horizontal isolation doors just above and below the sections we see, since the between-decks height on the TOS ship might be considerable. And of course there could be air-containing forcefields, as this technology exists in TOS not long after the TOS events, but those probably don't make for a good "fall-back" safety system as they require at least some power.

''One mega server which is smart about putting you with your friends'' - no thanks.
General Discussion « Elder Scrolls Online
Wow 7 pages worth of threads and no one mentions the obvious. Im not here to defend what they are doing, but there is a reason. It's called game programming. Have you ever in your life seen a seemless world that can support hundreds of thousands of players on one server? You could probably answer yes to that on one game, EVE. But heres where things go wrong, ENTITIES!!!!!! You can only have so many moving objects on a screen before the server load gets to high and eventually crashes. If anyone of you have ever read anything John Carmack has written, then you would see why it can't happen with todays technology. There isnt one server that could handle 10000+ players on top of NPC's and the like.
So the question really is, would you rather play a game that crashes constantly but looks amazing and you can play with everyone, or would you rather have smooth gameplay and no crashes and only play with a select few? Trust me on this, you will never see a one server seemless world anytime soon. Getting over this now will help you move on and maybe you can start enjoying what you have.

But adding the option, then labeling the players who use it as cheaters and having the community look down on these people is just bad.

(New Radical Idea): Using Kickstarter to further post released AAA/Indy MMO development
The Pub at MMORPG.COM « General Discussion
A kick starter is basically that, something to kick start development wether it be in gaming, technology and what not. Not to kick start a product after its already been released. That almost defeats the purpose of calling it a KICK starter. Your not kick starting anything when the product has already launched. Your in essence, just giving the company more money like a tip. Will it get you better service, yes. But then you should just call it that, a tip, or as one guy put it, a donate button. This radical idea just sounds like someone who's bored.

Yeah please allow me to inform you that you are more than welcome to come back to reality. Were do you get your facts from? Random people in some chat room that are also spreading these rumors? This stuff just makes me laugh. Someone just randomly shooting out rumors like there facts then beleiving in them like there true.
Fact, there is A law suit going on in EU for Diablo 3. Fact, people are slowiy not logging into Diablo but theres still a good portion playing, just not as much. Fact, it is not that fastest returned game in history, theres another game that has that title and I doubt they will ever lose it. Fact, no one knows what they have made off Diablo 3 if anything. They have yet to release any numbers except for first week sales. And Bash never admitted to anything, if he did please inform all of us by providing a link to this admission which I'm sure you cant find at this exact moment, right? Please just stop, I'm sure people get it, you do not like Diablo 3.
First off, in my opinion, Diablo 3 is a decent game. It keeps me entertained for the time I play it and I can play with my friends. I don't make my hobbies a chore, which some of you seem to do. I just enjoy having fun in a game. I have a level 60 DH on Inferno Act 3 and a level 54 Monk on Hell Act 3. Is it what I expected it should be after playing Diablo 2, nope. Does that bother me, nope. Why? Because its a different team, and a different vision. Whats so wrong with that. I don't want to play a Daiblo 2 with modern graphics and fresher systems. If i did, I would just go by Diablo 2 and hack up a mod. I paid my money to play a new game, with new systems and a new vision. And I got it. Some of you are just sitting to far into the past and won't let go. Games and play styles change and evolve. So do the companies that deliver these things, If they just kept pumping out old visions and concepts, gaming would be a stagnant money maker and developers would move on. So, there you have it my opinion. Like it or hate it, its mine, not yours.
Ouya: A New Console For Under $100

The reason they can build this system for $100 bucks is the same reason google can sell there Nexus 7 for $199. It runs on the new tegra 3 proccesor which was designed to be low cost. And no, i don't mean the tegra 3 proccessor thats inside the transformer prime. Nvidia came out with a new low cost platform which makes it cheaper to build budget tablets with a bang. And the GPU inside this console will be the 12 core GPU that Nvidia made. All in all, this is a quality console. ANd just a heads up, mobile gaming has advanced at such a rate, that its almost up to par with the likes of consoles.

No mmorpg has captured that one moment in time, like WoW has.
General Discussion « World of Warcraft
Not sure how zerg fests and random server crashes/fps lag was considered fun or even good World PVP but sure. WoW has never really had good world PvP and never will. And i did play WoW from the start, was the first priest to 60 on Horde side Chromagus, next up was Remy. I even remember me and a 50+ warrior named Jovan being the only two over 50 for about a week, and grouping with low 40's in Marudon when that was the best instance because BRD was a messy pull and bugged and Upper BR was still closed. Yep, those days. When the best achievement was getting that dam fishing pole. When raiding Rag was freaking hard and long taking days to clear. Now that's all a blur. But honestly I had better pvp in DaoC in 1v1 duels or in Frontier. Oh well, memories........

No offense, but how does a dungeon that's diffucult make a game fail. Diffuculty is the best thing about a game, it makes the reward for the accomplishment that much better.

Release date!
General Discussion « Diablo 3
People should calm down about D3 being a incomplete product. Shoot, there are a handful of websites that all show not only beta footage but information too. It's not incomplete, lets just put it like that. You will get a your singleplayer co-op experience your used to with most Diablo games. You just won't get a lot of the newer systems that they wanted to add on top of it. And it was obvious that a release date was coming. Blizzard has always, and even stated, when they ramp up coverage that means a release date is imminent. Can't wait to play this bad boy!

Diablo 3: No PvP at Launch
News & Features Discussion « General Discussion
I love how people are complaining about NO pvp at launch = doom. Remind me again how much PVP was in d1 or d2? Yeah, thats what I thought.The diablo series has always been and will always be at heart a single player/co-op dungeon crawler. This game doesn't need PVP at all. ANd honestly, I wish more MMORPG's would simply remove it. You cannot do open world PVP in a game because you have to many scenario's that make it almost pointless and chaotic which in the end is not fun. That is exactly why you get force into an instance like WoW and RIFT. Because there you can control it to a point. I mean even when WoW had Open world PVP, what happened? A clusterf$%# in Tarren Mill everyday to the point it impaired peoples questing and leveling. The only game that did PVP correctly was DaoC and even that was bad. The only reason it semi worked was because, wait for it.................. A THIRD FACTION. So who cares if Diablo 3 has no PVP at launch, it will still be a diablo game just like it always has been.
The real reason behind no blizzcon for 2012 is deeper then you all may know.

TERA: En Masse Responds to NCSoft Lawsuit

Seeing as I work in a field were you have to sign non-competition agreements or not get hired, I will say this. They are frivalous and usually end up getting thrown out of court in the US. In other countries they don't, but in the US many have tried to use them against employess and failed. NCSoft hopefully isnt going to go into this battle with just that against them or they will lose. BTW, in the US non-competition agreements go against ammendment rights that is why they get thrown out. Read through one and you will see.

Choice AU 1879 Thomas Hobron One Real Token1879 12.5C T. Hobron AU55 NGC. Medcalf-Russell 2TE-8. The copper "one real" railroad tokens from Wailuku Plantation were redeemable at Thomas Hobron's general store in Kahului, Maui, Hawaii. The Kahului and Wailuku Railroad carried sugar cane to the port of Kahului for export. Today Kahului, host to the Maui airport and a deep-draft harbor, is the largest town on the island of Maui, the site of several shopping centers and home to more than 20,000 inhabitants. This chocolate-brown piece is well-struck through the centers, softly struck at the rims, as typical for the issue, and shows good eye appeal. Listed on page 391 of the 2009 Guide Book. (PCGS# 600515)
