This is my first pregnancy, and I've been looking for a midwife long-distance. I thought I had found a midwife team that sounded very professional from their website and had delivered over 1000 babies, but when I talked with the midwife last night to ask her three basic questions, I was so disappointed. :(
She sounded basically like an OB-GYN who would do home births and kept suggesting u/s, tests, and doppler use even though I had specifically stated in one of my three questions that I did not want routine care using u/s and dopplers, and I didn't want any diagnostic tests for the baby unless deemed medically unavoidable. I asked her if she used a fetoscope and she said she had one but preferred to use the doppler, and basically made it sound like she never used one and would bully me into using the doppler. I felt like telling her: "I'm sure you prefer to have me give birth lying down, as well."
I also asked her if/how she handled twins and pointed out that I was simply asking because my mom is a twin and I had heard that that might raise my chances of having twins. Without ever having met me, asked me how I felt or what symptoms I had had during my pregnancy, she stated in a condescending tone, as if I were completely out of touch with my body: "Oh, I'm sure you're not carrying twins because the symptoms are so powerful!" As a matter of fact, my grandmother never once had morning sickness or any other so-called "powerful" symptoms during her pregnancy and gave birth to full-term twins, so there.
I always thought that midwives would be supportive of the mother's wishes and would be aware of the issues surrounding unnecessary procedures. Now I'm on the hunt for a midwife that shares my philosophy and I'm starting to wonder how to find her... Any suggestions for what to look for on the websites? I know they all still have availability because I sent out a ton of emails yesterday, but I also don't want to spend days on end interviewing one after another when I get back to San Diego...
If you got this far, thanks for reading this rant!
Love the title of this thread, montessorimamma.
This is my first pregnancy, but I have had a lot of experience with health care providers (I was diagnosed with cancer over 10 years ago). Sometimes you just have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find the proverbial prince. (I once went to a Naturopath who started talking with me about the negative energy in the universe and how the satan worshippers worked to release it together. I didn't go see her again. )
Look for clues on websites that indicate your values: low tech pregnancies supported . . .etc. Sometimes even the graphic design and the color choices will clue you in on whether you share similar values. Also, your life will be made much easier when you are back in the states and phone calls and visits are cheaper and easier.
Deep breathes. It will come. (This coming from the woman who just posted that she feels like an insecure 16-year-old again.)
Dreamer, writer, wife, and mom to little guy & my spirit babe .
Now I know this will probably sound really bad, but if you are looking for a short cut to narrow your search I would look at their pictures. It's definitely not full proof and looks can be decieving, but I would give it a try. I would honestly look for women that looked more natural, if they have there hair done all fancy and are in a suit I would assume she was more of a professional type then a "trust birth" type. Especially if they have pictures of the births they have attended, look at the scene's see if it looks comfy cozy and what kind of positions the mothers are birthing in. You may also want to look for a midwife that is not a CNM and is instead a lay-midwife or certified midwife. A CNM first experiences with birth are from nursing school and a lay-midwifes first experience were probably as a apprentice midwife.
This is the route I would go if I have tones to choose from, we don't have that problem were we live there are only 2 hb midwives in our county and I interviewed them both.
I don't know if you've already tried this, but if not, post a thread in your Tribal Forum in the San Diego area (or whatever Tribe includes San Diego). Tell in the thread what you are looking for in a midwife and a birth, and ask for recommendations. MDC mamas are likely to know of midwives that may be otherwise hard to find, and they can give you personal information about their prenatal care and births with their midwives. Invite them to PM you the information so that they feel (and keep with the UA rules) saying names and sharing details (including negative ones).
Good luck!
Honestly, the more crunchy midwife in my area, based on her photos, ended up being the one we didn't like, who seemed more rigid about "her way."
It's best to talk to the ones you are interested in - sometimes five minutes on the phone can make up your mind quickly. The first time I talked to the midwife we chose on the phone, we were on the phone for an hour, just chatting away, and I knew she'd be perfect. She does some things standard, based on what I can tell about her, but she's also been open to things I want. (For instance, u/s aren't standard with her, but she has a backup OB that I have to see one time, and she said that if I wanted an u/s, just to let them know and they'd do it while I was there. She also didn't seem to care if I wanted to do the triple/quad screen, stuff like that.)
Yeah, I'd say unfortunately, you need to talk to them all and even ideally meet them all (or all the ones you don't weed out pretty easily with the phone chat). You will get a much better sense of who they are in person.
That said (and I hate to say this), but you may have to compromise on some aspects of your "ideal" MW. I know in my area there are only about 4 MWs, so maybe I won't find one that fits my every hope, but I'll go with my gut on picking the one that is the *best* fit for me. But I'm also sure there is a big spectrum on care even with HB MWs. . .my last MW (won't be able to use her again b/c we've moved since) was trained as a CNM and then went to HB, so she actually tended to be (like the one you talked to) a little more on the "clinical" side of things in some regards. But she had delivered almost 3,000 babies and I trusted her 100% to know when to intervene and when to let nature take it's course (and that was more important to me, then the fact that she did recommend the Vit K shot at birth and such--as she was also okay with clients refusing those things). She did use doppler at each appt, but literally only for 10sec, as soon as she found the hb she took it off. And personally, I was totally fine with this. . .but that's me.
I expect you will be able to find a MW that is way more on the low-tech side of things. . but she also may not have a slick website or a lot of web presence at all. Also, I have to say that MWs have to worry about liability A LOT, if they get sued b/c of a bad outcome they can loose everything!. So, sometimes when they say they must use doppler or the like, they are only protecting their own livelihood.
I don't know if that helped at all. . .just rambling about my own experiences as usual! :/ whoops.

You may not find the midwife you are looking for...at least not in your immediate area (but some midwives are willing to travel long distances, and sometimes you can rent a cabin or a hotel for your last month or so of pregnancy in your chosen midwife's town/city if she lives many hours away...there are options!).
As a midwifery student who came to midwifery through years of planning my own unassisted birth(s), I thought all non-CNM midwives (whether lay midwives, licensed, registered, or certified professional midwives) were birth trusting, hands-off, follow-mama's-lead types. I was so very wrong! Many women mistakenly believe that homebirth midwives are more "natural" and will support a pregnant/birthing woman in ALL her choices, but this is simply not true. I have, so far, only met one midwife like that in real life...and I have met many midwives!
This is not to discourage you. I agree with a previous poster who suggested you go to the "Finding Your Tribe" area of MDC and ask those ladies if they know of a truly birth-trusting, hands-off midwife in your area. You may also want to contact Carla Hartley, founder of Ancient Arts Midwifery Institute (just google her to find her email addy...it is listed on AAMI's website...she will also friend you on facebook if you request) to see if she knows of any midwives in your area who will respect and support your choices in pregnancy and birth.
Good luck, Mama!!

Can I be really honest? I wouldn't rule people in or out based on appearance. I know LOTS of midwives, and like all other people, you really can't judge a book by the cover. So, look over the websites and if there is something about the way a person is putting themselves out there that completely turns you off, then cross them off the list. But, I would not make the assumption that a person who looks crunchy is going to be more hands off or a person who looks professional is going to be more medically minded. I look like a soccer mom, but all that means about me and my practice is that I like to shop at Old Navy :)
Talking with people on the phone and in person is absolutely the best way to find your midwife. You will likely know within a few minutes if you like someone's energy and feel good about them in their profession or if they drive you bananas and you don't want them anywhere near you. It is a big decision and it is ok if it takes you a few days to get through everyone.

As a doula who has worked with a lot of midwives, I would agree that you shouldn't rule anyone out until you have spent some time with them. And definitely don't decide based on whether they are a CNM or CPM/Direct Entry. I trained with a DEM who was wonderful and fabulous and very hands off. A few years later I attended a birth with a CNM grandmother type of midwife - she was more hands off than any of the Direct Entry midwives I had worked with! I was so impressed. And the only midwife in our area (who has now left) that ever attended breech births was a CNM turned CPM. So, it is absolutely true - midwives are as different from each other as any other group of people. My tried and true suggestion is to call all the doulas in your area (San Diego?) and ask them which homebirth midwives they have worked with and what did they like or not like. I guarantee you'll get some eye opening answers! And it will help you narrow your search after you interview everybody. Hope this helps!

I agree so much that you might just have to accept a few things that are less than your ideal. For my daughter's birth I had two midwives. One was very evidence based and the other was super touchy-feely woo woo. I loved my prenatal appointments with the woo woo one, but during birth when there were a couple of (minor) complications I was incredibly grateful for both of them- especially the one who was more evidence based and by the book. She made some really excellent quick decisions that I'm grateful for that kept me from having to go to the hospital after the birth. That said, my midwives were both CNMs. I am using a different CNM for this pregnancy (because we're moving). I like having someone who trusts the process but is well trained to act when all doesn't go perfectly.

It's from Faith Gibson, who is something of a MW legend and just happens to be one of my local choices. Anyway good luck to all of us on our MW searches!

Borrowing from French soubresaut, itself an obsolete form of sursaut.
soubresaut (plural soubresauts)
- (ballet) A sudden jump from both feet, travelling forward in first, third, or fifth position and landing on both feet in the same position as they started.
2009 June 15, Alastair Macaulay, "Natural Liftoff and Intense Inner Life for a Daughter of the Air", New York Times:
- She took to the air so naturally that it made you feel, retrospectively, that this had always been her destiny from her entrance in Act I. Springing up from both feet while keeping those feet together (in soubresauts), she drove the audience — which had been in a tizzy of excitement all along — wild.

I have this multithreaded app with a loop for each thread and two paired bufferevents per thread to send/receive data between those and the main thread.
This in theory. In practice, bufferevent_pair_new() returns fine, but two bufferevent structures without usable descriptors are created, so when I call bufferevent_getfd() with them, I get -1 for both.
Of course, when I try to attach them to a event loop without any other event added previously, thread returns and a "loop without events" error is raised.
I saw something similar in Tor (paired bufferevents to communicate between threads). Am I doing it right? Do I need something else?


text: Seeing dogs tied to parking meters, trees, or street lamps is a common occurrence on my trip home after work. Many times a walk with the dog seems to include a run into a market, restaurant, or coffee shop. Now I totally understand that dog walks are a great time to think and, maybe, you suddenly remember you're out of toilet paper. Fine. But, I must be a totally overprotective mom, because I don't like to keep my crazy pooch out of my sight . . . mostly in fear that I'll come out to find him dragging the tree down the block or gone home with someone that couldn't resist his adorableness. Some states – California included – have laws that prohibit tethering dogs outside for more than a "reasonable period" which can mean up to three hours. Even though this law is mostly for backyard chaining, I'm curious how you feel about tying a pooch up outside a shop.

Details and Shopping
Customer Favorite
Metal headpiece with pendant dangling off the front. This style rests delicately on the head. If you want a more security simply side a bobby pin across the back and anchor into your hair.
Rated 4.5 out of 5Â by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by CydneyLynn Goddess Festival Seriously so beautiful. I ordered in the gold and am so excited to wear it for Sasquatch this year, it is a bit over the top to wear everyday but literally perfect for festival season. It does run a little big because it is heavy but its so easy to fit to your head well enough, its just that the center forehead piece is a tad heavy. but well worth the price and awesomeness! 4.3.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by zarajanina Could be larger, but still in love! I mostly bought it to use it as festival wear. I couldn't test it in this occasion yet, but the first try-on was a little bit unexpected, since (at least for my head) the headpiece is a little bit too small. Therefore it's also not really staying at it's place, which requires to tighten everything up with bobby pins. Not optimal, but I still like the look of it. And the quality feels very well. 6.18.2014

From the Publisher:
John M. Dienhart (1939-2004) was a dedicated linguist who loved his work and undertook all his projects with great commitment - a commitment and enthusiasm which are unmistakably evident in the essays of this book. The Language of Riddles, Humor and Literature is a selection of essays in stylistics by Dienhart, which are now collected here for the first time. The essays investigate a variety of linguistic aspects of texts from different genres: from punning riddles and other types of humorous texts to fictional prose and poetry. The essays are characterized by their pedagogical style and analytical insight and illustrate how work in stylistics may simultaneously contribute to our understanding of a given text and of a particular linguistic phenomenon.

I get a whole chicken every other week from a farmer, and it comes with the liver. I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't love liver just by itself.
Is there some way I can use it well? Blend it up and put it with ground beef in hamburgers or tacos?
If I were to cook it on its own should I just saute it in butter until the center is barely pink? Then we could each just have a bite.
Any suggestions on how to cook it by itself or in a recipe?
My recipe is very simple (I hope others contribute with really fancy stuff.) Boil the liver, with a whole onion and some spices thrown in. Let it cool, and mush the onion and liver together. Add butter, and it's pate.
I'd freeze a few livers and just do a bunch of them at once. Fresh is better, sure, but I'm too lazy.
You can definitely grind it and mix it up with ground beef to make meatballs or meatloaf. You can certainly put it in something like a burger, but that tends to not have the same amount of seasonings as meatballs or meatloaf and you might notice the flavor a bit more.
Mama to Munchkin and Chickadee ...and co-parent to 3 additional bundles of energy!
Saute it & eat it yourself as a treat for being the cook (or share w/ whatever child is helping you to cook) - that's what my step-dad used to do. Also the heart.
Or freeze it and continue to add to the cache until you have enough to make chopped liver.
~ 1 lb of livers
1 big onion
oil or rendered chicken fat (aka schmaltz) (a couple of tablespoons)
boiled egg (1 or 2 - depending on how much you like)
Dice an onion & saute in oil until soft & golden.
Remove the onions & then saute the livers until done (I like to make them brown, but you might want to leave them a little pink)
Chop up the onions and livers together w/ a hand chopper or whirl in a food processor.
Add the eggs and chop or whirl. I like little chunks of white still visible, you might like everything very smooth and pate-like.
Salt & pepper to taste
In Bologna, to make bolognese sauce, they often add a liver. It makes a creamier sauce.
Cut it, or better smash it little by little removing stringy parts and add it to the pan before the ground meat.

Blizzard hasn't said anything about the class(es) they're developing for the Diablo 3 expansion, but a CM did at least rule a couple of player suggestions out for lore reasons.
but what if an angel wants to become human like tyrael wanted and he still has some angelic powers
Vaneras: An angel may become human as was learned when Tyrael renounced his immortality and was cast from the high heavens, but even if angelic powers are retained after an angel become human, this will still not be enough as those powers are still "only" angelic.
The OP also suggested that these classes have, " badass skills and spells." Can you argue with that? No, I didn't think so.
Elsewhere, a fan contributed a Diablo-themed wordsearch. Click through for that.
First word found! *fistpump*
I used to love word searches when I was a kid, and always thought about making my own, but leaving one word out. A short word that people would assume just *had* to be there… somewhere. Fortunately I matured over the decades and no longer desire to commit minor acts of evil. Let's hope the guy who made this Wordsearch can say the same.

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter spread.
2. Add the jalapenos and sauté until softened, then add salt.
3. Add the grits and stir for 1 minute. Add a pinch of salt again.
4. Whisk in chicken stock, bring to a boil and stir until thickened, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove from heat, stir in remaining butter and cheese. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
6. Serve it hot as a meal or you could have it with fried fish such as fried catfish or salmon croquettes.
I used light butter spread instead of real butter. Light butter spreads are full of heart healthy oils, not heart clogging saturated fat like butter. By making this simple change, you are saving almost 80% of the saturated fat butter has and add extra oils to keep your heart beating smoothly.
I added chicken stock instead of water for extra flavor. However, you need to get the unsalted/low sodium variety. Otherwise, you are adding a lot of sodium to your diet that you just don't need.
Lastly, I used fat free cheddar cheese. You're saving a ton of fat grams here. Fat free cheese doesn't melt well on top of things but it incorporates itself into the grits perfectly.

For all those people who say they aren't cat people, but deep down know they are. Helen Brown wasn't a cat person, but her nine-year-old son Sam was. So when Sam heard someone mention that her cat had just had a litter, he pleaded to go and see them. Helen was powerless to resist and the deal was done - to be delivered when the kitten was big enough to leave her mother. Just a week later, Sam was killed in a road accident. Not long after this, a little black kitten was delivered to the family's doorstep. Totally numbed by Sam's death, Helen had completely forgotten about the new arrival, which belonged in another universe when Sam was still alive. Helen was ready to send her back, but Sam's younger brother, Rob, identified with the kitten who'd also lost her brothers. Stroking her, it was the first time Helen had seen him smile since Sam's death. There was no choice, the kitten - dubbed Cleo - had to stay Cleo's immense character slowly taught the family to laugh again, giving them hope of getting back to normal. She went on to become the high priestess of Helen's household - vetoing her new men, terrifying visiting dogs and playing an integral role in their lives to become both a guardian and friend.

A lot of deals have come and gone since the one that made Chris Gardner a millionaire.
Gardner is the head of his own brokerage firm and lives in a Chicago townhouse — one of his three homes — with a collection of tailored suits, designer shoes, and Miles Davis albums.
His path to this extraordinary success took a series of extraordinary turns. Just 20 years ago, Gardner was homeless and living, on occasion, in a bathroom at a Bay Area Rapid Transit station in Oakland, Calif.
Gardner was raised by his mother, a schoolteacher. He says he never knew his father while he was growing up. But his mother had a way of keeping him grounded when he dreamed of things like being a jazz trumpeter.
"Mothers have a way of saying things," Gardner said, "She explained to me, 'Son, there's only one Miles Davis and he got that job. So you have to do something else.' But what that something else was, I did not know."
Gardner credits his uncles with providing the male influence he needed. Many of them were military veterans. So, straight out of high school, he enlisted in the Navy for four years. He says it gave him a sense of what was possible.
A Red Ferrari and a Turning Point
After the military, Gardner took a job as a medical supply salesman. Then, he says, he reached another turning point in his life. In a parking lot, he met a man driving a red Ferrari.
"He was looking for a parking space. And I said, 'You can have mine. But I gotta ask you two questions.' The two questions were: What do you do? And how do you do that? Turns out this guy was a stockbroker and he was making $80,000 a month."
Gardner began knocking on doors, applying for training programs at brokerages, even though it meant he would have to live on next to nothing while he learned. When he finally was accepted into a program, he left his job in medical sales. But his plans collapsed as suddenly as they had materialized. The man who offered him the training slot was fired, and Gardner had no job to go back to.
Things got worse. He was hauled off to jail for $1,200 in parking violations that he couldn't pay. His wife left him. Then she asked him to care for their young son without her. Despite his lack of resources, Gardner said, "I made up my mind as a young kid that when I had children, my children were gonna know who their father was."
Although a broker finally helped him enter a training program, Gardner wound up with no place to live. He was collecting a meager stipend as a brokerage trainee, and, like many working poor in America, he had a job but couldn't make ends meet.
The Kindness of Strangers
When he could afford it, he stayed with his son, Chris Jr., in cheap motels. When they returned home at night, Gardner says, he received help from some unexpected sources. "The ladies of the evening were beginning their shift. And they would always see myself, this baby and the stroller. … So they started giving him $5 bills." Without their help, Gardner said, there would have been nights when he couldn't have fed his son.
The Rev. Cecil Williams, founder of Glide Memorial Church in San Francisco, remembers the first time he saw Gardner, who had gone to the church with his son to stand in a meal line. He said, "I wondered, 'What in the world is a man doing with a baby?'"

Nevada (6-6) vs. New Mexico (8-4)

History, Each Team's Best Bowl Moments, & More
Alright New Mexico, let's try this
USC might get to play in L.A. and LSU gets to battle Ohio State in
New Orleans, but when it comes to home field advantages in the bowl
games, no one will get a bigger boost than New Mexico playing in the
New Mexico Bowl for a second year in a roll. It didn't matter much
last year as San Jose State stuffed the Lobos with a great defensive
performance, and while UNM wasn't supposed to be able to play here
two years in a row, a quirk of the bowl lineup allowed it to happen.
It's a bigger deal than you might think.
The Lobos have a
nice 8-4 season going 5-1 in Albuquerque, with the lone loss coming
to Mountain West champ BYU, while Nevada lost four of its six games
away from Reno. So that should be enough for the Wolf Pack to just
enjoy the scenery and not worry about actually winning the game,
right? Not quite.
The explosive Pack offense has the weapons and the talent to hang
500 yards and 40 points on just about anyone, but the New Mexico
defense has bee solid all season long while the offense has shown
flashes of explosion. It should be an entertaining game led by
several good young playmakers, but it'll all come down to whether or
not Nevada can play a little bit of defense.
Playing in the WAC, Nevada saw its share of shootouts, but it always
seemed to come out on the wrong side highlighted by a 69-67
four-overtime thriller of a loss to Boise State, which set a record
for points and yards in game. There was a 49-41 loss to Fresno State
and a 28-26 battle with Hawaii to go along with a 36-31 loss at
Northwestern and a 40-38 win over New Mexico State. This is a team
used to going up and down the field, and it's also used to close
games with eight decided by eight points or fewer.
Unlike Nevada, New Mexico managed to be on the right side in most of
its tight battles going 4-2 in games decided by seven points or
fewer. Call it a sign of maturity that the team was able to beat San
Diego State, Air Force and Colorado State all by three points each
over the second half of the season as the Lobos won five of their
last seven games. They come into the game hot, while the Wolf Pack
is just looking to put a nice cap on an inconsistent season.
Few teams can lose their starting quarterback and get better, but
that's what happened after Nick Graziano was knocked out for the
year with a foot injury. 6-6, 215-pound redshirt freshman Colin
Kaepernick stepped in and turned into one of the nation's best
dual-threat quarterback with 567 rushing yards and six touchdowns to
go along with 19 touchdown passes and just three interceptions.
While he has the talent, he has to improve on his overall accuracy
and has to shine in a big-stage audition for what'll be a
quarterback battle going into next year.
For New Mexico, a second-straight home bowl loss would be a
devastating blow to a program that can't shake the tag of being one
of the biggest bowl losers over the last several years. 0-5 in their
last five bowls going back to 1997, the Lobos haven't won a bowl
game since 1961. On the flip-side, no one has a more thrilling bowl
history than Nevada, who has gone 3-3 with three of the games
decided by one point, two decided by three, and two of the games
decided in overtime. The biggest margin of victory in a Nevada
post-season game came in a 13-6 win over North Texas in the 1948
Salad Bowl.
It's mid-level team and mid-level conference bragging rights time.
This will mean a lot for both leagues, and for two teams about to
undergo a bit of an overhaul, this will be a big moment for several
young players to step up and shine going into the offseason.
Players to watch: New Mexico has the Mountain West's best
set of skill players led by junior RB Rodney Ferguson and the
tremendous senior wideout tandem of Marcus Smith and
Travis Brown. However, Ferguson will likely be out meaning more
will have to come from the passing game. Smith, a former running back, led the league with
86 catches for 1,039 yards and three touchdowns. Speed wasn't an
issue after making the full-time switch to receiver last year, but
consistency was. With the improvements from QB Donovan Porterie,
Smith has become a more reliable target with at least five catches
in every game but one and three 100-yard receiving days. Brown, who
finished third in the league with 69 catches for 911 yards and five
scores, was one of the nation's most productive receivers over the
first half of the year with five 100-yard days in the first seven
before Smith became an even bigger part of the attack. Brown has the
ability to strike from anywhere on the field and should feast on a
Nevada secondary that'll key on Smith first.
Ferguson was one of the lone bright spots in last year's 20-12 New
Mexico Bowl loss to San Jose State with 102 rushing yards, and he's
been a do-it-all workhorse for the attack this year with 1,177 yards
and 13 touchdowns while finishing third in receiving with 18 catches
for 264 yards and a score. While not necessarily a gamebreaker, he's
great at being able to wear down defenses while providing a pop from
start to finish.
While Kaepernick might be the star of Nevada's show, the offense
actually revolves around junior RB Luke Lippencott, the best
back in the WAC this season with 1,380 yards and 1The former safety
has great power and quickness for a 215-pound back, and he has a
nose for the end zone with five touchdowns in the regular-season
finale against Louisiana Tech and four in the shootout against Boise
State. With the Lobo defense needing to watch out for Kaepernick
coming out of the backfield, Lippencott should be able to run up the
middle all day long.
will win if... Kaepernick gets running early. Statistically
this is a strong New Mexico run defense, but that's mostly because
the Mountain West is merely average at pounding the ball. San Diego
State, with running quarterback Kevin O'Connell, and Air Force, even
though Shaun Carney only ran six times, were able to have some
success on the ground, while TCU and Colorado State were able to
pound away. Nevada will want to keep its mistakes to an absolute
minimum and will get Kaepernick into the open on the outside as much
as possible. The more the Pack can run the ball, and the less
Kaepernick has to force throws on third downs, the better.

Long-distance motorcycling is not a pastime but an obsession. In this candid, eloquent, sharply observed book, Melissa Holbrook Pierson introduces us to this strange endeavor and the men and women who live to ride impossibly long distances, eating up road, almost without cease. And who find it nothing but fun.
Perhaps the most determined of them is John Ryan, a magnetic, enigmatic man who loves nothing better than breaking records of amazing distance - at no small risk to himself and his health. But why? Pierson, who rediscovered the joys of motorcycling in the midst of a personal crisis, puts on her helmet and joins Ryan in his element in order to understand his singular desire and discipline, his passion and his obsession.
The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing offers an intimate glimpse of an unusually independent yet supportive community as well as a revealing, unforgettable portrait of its most daring member. In electric, pitch-perfect prose, Pierson gives us rare insights into not only a subculture but also the deeply human craving for something more that drives it.

I don't really care if they live or die, I'm done with it. I have no loyalty to a business, especially one thats gone down so far and raised their monthly so high... I was playing 3 accounts, for 10 years, so anyone spitting in my direction can eat it as far as I am concerned. As far as CTD's... yeah, they were bad, read the forums, maybe they have it fixed now.. I really don't care .
MY problem is what to replace it with, any suggestions?

sounds to me like another gaming company planning on ending a game tons of ppl have put a huge number of hrs into playing... this cut and run tactic is complete bs and has been happening more and more frequently over the past couple of years... Prime example = Project torque. After 2years of steady success on Aeria, the development team that leased the rights to Aeria, decided they wanted more money (even tho they were doing less work). Aeria refused. They thought prices in the cash shop were fine and werent willing to charge players more then ever before. In response the development team started pulling some underhanded tricks to screw over the players... changing rules, rewards, ect... Finally the lease was up, Aeria was willing to continue but the dev's said fuck off and decided to release it on their own under a new name (Heat Online). All fine and dandy except for the fact that they screwed over every player that had ever spent money on the game to buy things like new cars or upgrades.... We lost everything only to be "graciously invited" to rejoin the game at its new home, and repurchase all the things we had already bought..
Greedy coorperate bs, take our money, screw us over, close the game then rename and reopen it, and tell us we need to spend more money for stuff we already paid for...

Personally, I think that's just not true and they could definitely pull in numbers without appealing to the CoD crowd.
But I can't comment on the new 'features' in game as I don't play anymore. I'd like to hope they're not trying to make this a shoebox game and it's just them delaying as they don't have the resources to fix whatever it is they broke. I mean when you think about it.. how many people are working on this game?
theres been problems from day 1, the game still looks and plays like a Closed beta game, i got 1 warning for blind firing morta HE rounds into a town and i was no where near a friendly unit or FRU and when i asked what rule i was breaking i was given a second warning...
while that happened on side channel there where players using the most vulgur words and really racist remarks towards each other which went on for about 40 more minutes before they decided to stop themselves
i played on and off for about 3 years, canceled my monthly subscription numerous times for so many different issues this game has, and the community can be total jerks also

Guys.....I've also played since 2001, and had unsubbed to play WoW - now I cambe back 2 weeks ago. I really like the game, In a couple of weeks I maybe had 1 or 2 crashes....which used to happen to WoW also. I've never had any problems with warnings, cheating, etc. So if you guys decided to unsub - that's your choice, but don't tell everyone the game sucks, because the fact remains: it is the only game in the world with this level of realism, this level of immersion, and this level of player cooperation between players, while PVPing.
So for me, it's still freaking awesome. Sorry.

And that the game has only gotten worse. I guess I got out when the getting was good.
So much crap, so little quality.
Originally posted by Angelkiss781
you really consider WW2O very realistic? i have seen a french destroyer fire there main cannons on a german PzIVG it survived one or two direct hits and some splash from near misses, oh yeah very realistic... among many other unrealistic things this is what i can think off right now maybe others can add to it.
-not to mention the really lame crash physics, you can ram your vechile into a wall and you just bounce off unharmed with reduced speed.
-you cannot jump while playing infantry the closest thing you can do is run off a taller building and land on the next building.
-you can fit 20mm german and 25mm allied AA inside buildings and ontop of roofs when they bounce around near tight spaces (25mm ATG and 37mm pak can also do similar things)
-its so unrealistic you cannot even get a medic or engineer to mend your wounds or fix your tracked tank your forced to MIA or RTB
the game is mainly consisted off early WW2 gear and some major later WW2 gear/vechiles nothing you would expect in a WW2O game such as mine/minefields, engineers that actually repair more then just AI and bridges, medics, only recently you have been given the protection of a deployable ATG nest or a IFP.
theres no crucial deployables or pre-placed objects that are needed such as tank traps and trenches unless i missed something? i know there is tanktraps on the ATG nest and bunkers which are only to prevent vechiles getting inside the bunker
there is some co-operation but HC can mess things up for the players by launching fail attacks which use up the supply, then trying to correct it with a Armor attack which gets chewed up also, in no way is this game worth the current subscription price.

Hehe, talking realism on any WWII shooter is a slippery slop. Yeah WWIIOL had tons of quirks, but at least it had lots of basics going for it. Physics for any FPS is iffy at best, at least WWIIOL had bullet drop and didn't have HP for tanks (omg the worst and so common).
As for medic or repair, having those would MAKE it gamey. Oh look, leg blown off, medic comes and 5 seconds later I can run around. Same with tank repair. One engy comes by and does a few motions and the tank tracks mend? Errr no.
If you're looking at unrealistic, no friendly fire is probably the biggest in a general sense. That and maybe no real HE effects for guns.
WWIIOL had enough unique realism aspects in a WWII game that it made me sad when changes came out that killed it.
the medic and engineers would actually not be as you described unless CRS where stupid enough to make it that way.
right now you can repair a AI MG tower with 4 repair kits in less then what? 15 seconds?
if they where to add engineers clearly a 5 second repair time for a tracked tank is incredibly stupid, and i dont recall limbs being blown off in WW2O, so i see no way for medics being able to patchup a lost limb and get infantry back into the fight in such a short time as you mentioned
if they really wanted it realistic tanks should have many malfunctions like tracking themselves on sharp turns, damage from collisions, getting bogged in muddy terrain etc...
i am not sure where to start on the problems and bugs in this game, anyone who recommends it rather is from CRS or has played the game very little to experience bugs and problems plagued in this game, sure its a fun game when you got a decent AO and no crashes, but seriously is no way worth its current pricing

I can see it that way. Was in WWIIOL immersion? Was, and not a little. The main feeling was a fear, that as soon as you can get the bullet, then it meant much more than in a simple shoe-box shooters. And this fear was very addictive. Then, step by step fear disappeared out of the game.
They have simply entered on a track of many other shooters and have almost lost the niche.

Exactly prescort, which is why you can't have medics or engies, can't be used realistically. It's always the way other games add them, why I mentioned it. So the fact WWIIOL doesn't have them (medic and engy for tank repair) isn't really a knock on them not being realistic as you were mentioning, be worse with them.
In it's current form, for realism problems you don't have to go much further than whole armies spawning from behind your city out of one truck. Killed any sort of battleline or defense outside the city when they can spawn in behind and cap the CPs. The best battles end up being the ones on the river when you can stop the being surrounded 'alamo' style battles. AOs, MSP and depots beside the CPs killed the squads and 90% of the organized combat.
I can't really complain that much on tanks not having track issues, speed changes etc. when all other games with tanks use hit points to do their damage. The absolute worst. If you're using hitpoints, nothing else matters.
edit- Yeah, heard about the China thing, wonder what happened.

I played this game on and off since ~2004. It is a good game at its core. Its exciting, and its one of the few games where skill is the most important thing.
But for this kind of game you need alot of players, and that is something it hasn't had in years.
I wouldn't even resub at 14.99 anymore, let alone 17.99. If it went down to $9.99 I might go back for a month, but unless they get alot more people in game I wouldn't stay for longer. I still question why a game in such poor shape would try to charge a higher fee than new AAA games.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure organization aimed a lot higher.
However, the nationwide firestorm of protest over the foundation's shameful slashing of grant funding to Planned Parenthood, and the injection of political ugliness into its basically pristine image, has served two good ends.
Komen accidentally created awareness about – and financial and moral support for – the good and necessary work that Planned Parenthood does to improve women's health across the country. Plus, it put back into the spotlight the need for women to get mammograms to test for life-threatening breast cancer.
I know. I just found out that I have breast cancer.
I found out because of a routine and long-overdue mammogram screening done through a free clinic. For that, I consider myself lucky and am grateful.
I am one among many. According to the National Cancer Institute, nearly 227,000 new cases of breast cancer are reported each year, with more than 39,500 deaths of women in the United States.
Breast cancer doesn't distinguish based on income or skin color. Neither does it choose its targets based on size of household or size of house – or no home at all.
Cancer doesn't care if its victims have the best health insurance coverage or no insurance at all.
However, the need for access to free or low-cost mammogram tests is universal. The likelihood of being screened for breast cancer increases if you've got a good health insurance plan; the need for low-income or no-income women for access to these tests is greater because people without insurance frequently don't go for regular checkups.
I know.
I don't have health insurance and I am jobless and homeless, despite a lengthy professional career and a good college education. I had my only mammogram more than 15 years ago when I was 40. I wasn't avoiding one; with every other financial and life challenge before me, it just wasn't on my "to do" list.
Two weeks ago, I found out for sure that I have a type of cancer that was detected only through a recent mammogram that I received as a qualified "charity care" patient through my local hospital's free outpatient clinic. It was on my doctor's "to do" list as a 55-year-old woman.
Good thing, too. My cancer – lobular invasive carcinoma – is so far hidden deep inside my left breast that neither self-examination nor a trained physician would have ever found it. As the National Cancer Institute points out in encouraging women in their 40s or older to get mammograms every one to two years, "A mammogram can find breast cancer that is too small for you, your doctor, or nurse to feel."
My free mammogram detected. An ultrasound confirmed it and a biopsy proved its certainty. Same-day surgery is scheduled at the University Medical Center at Princeton this week. Pathologists will analyze the tissue and tumor the surgeon removes and then I will learn if I need chemotherapy and hormonal therapy in addition to the six weeks of Monday-through-Friday radiation treatments. I am hopeful.
Although I'm long known it, I now know from experience that diagnosing breast cancer early is critically important and that mammograms discover breast cancers long before they grow large enough to be felt or to be seen with visible symptoms – or worst yet, become widespread and kill.
