Forte Trio Boys harmonize for 'Joy' of holiday trackWritten by Holly Tuey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
are only in seventh grade, but they hold their own against the more experienced musicians on "Holiday Wishes 3," a CD to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Reed Gnepper, Henry Seifried and George Mancy have known each other since kindergarten. They all took voice lessons separately with Jim Stanton, owner of Forte School of Music and the Arts. Stanton grouped them together as a trio and they have been singing together for about a year and a half.
On "Holiday Wishes 3," the boys perform "Joy Medley" — a combination of "Joy to the World" and "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee," arranged by Stanton.
The boys think their three-part harmonies make their track stand out.
"There's all these different things going on at once," Gnepper said.
The Forte Trio Boys are accompanied by Stanton for their song. They said it only took them one take to record the song, even though it was their first time in a recording studio.
Gnepper's mother Colleen said the boys performed at ProMedica Toledo Children's Hospital last year at Christmastime.
"They were taken by their environment," she said.
The boys enjoyed bringing joy to sick children, so when they heard about the Make-A-Wish CD project, they saw it as an opportunity to help more children and wanted to be a part of it.
"We want to give the gift of our singing, and we hope they enjoy it and always encourage us on the way," Seifried said.
Mancy said he wants anyone considering buying the CD to remember that it is for a good cause. And Gnepper added that they can listen to good music while supporting Make-A-Wish.
The Forte Trio Boys have a busy schedule coming up. They will perform the National Anthem at a University of Toledo basketball game and a Toledo Walleye game, and they'll be performing at The Toledo Club's Christmas tree unveiling Dec. 3.

State of the Union history: 10 famous lines
The annual State of the Union address gives the president a chance to formally address Congress on his priorities for the year — but it's also a chance to make history. Here are 10 memorable quotes from previous addresses:
Abraham Lincoln, Dec. 1, 1862
"The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. … In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless." - Abraham Lincoln, Dec. 1, 1862

CRESTVIEW — One dress rehearsal stands between Crestview High School's football team and the regular season.
The Bulldogs will travel to Pace on Friday to take on the Patriots in the Kickoff Classic. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
First-year Crestview coach Tim Hatten said he doesn't have much use for preseason games.
"It's just a glorified fundraiser," he said. "To me it's just another game for somebody to get hurt in.
"Some coaches believe you get them out there and have a dress rehearsal. I can think of a better way to do a dress rehearsal. But we have to play it, and we will line it up and play it."
Hatten won't be concerned with the Patriots. He will be focused on what his team does.
"It doesn't matter who you play," he said. "We are just going to do what we do. The best thing about a Kickoff Classic is when the clock hits zero.
"You just try to control your turnovers and not make any stupid penalties."
Coming off two straight disappointing seasons, the Crestview players are hungry for success, even in a preseason game.
"I'm ready to get it started," senior receiver Matt Gillis said. "I think we are going to be all right. The offense is coming together pretty good, and we've got a good defense behind us, and I think everybody is going to pull behind us.
"Each game we play is just about like our Super Bowl. We play each game like it's our last and try our best. What we need to do is not sweat the small stuff and keep getting in the big picture and just keep our goals in mind."
Junior running back Emmanuel Reed agreed that beating the Patriots is big for the Bulldogs as they try to establish a winning mindset heading into the Aug. 30 season opener at Milton.
"I think it's important to win to get us ready for Milton," he said. "We are going to go out there and try to win, but mostly we just want to try and stay healthy.
"I think the offseason has gone good. Coach Hatten, he's a good head coach. I think he's a better offensive coordinator because he has a good mindset and he's going to be good at a head coach."
After sharing playing time at running back with his older brother, Micah, a freshman on the University of Central Florida football team, Reed knows he must be ready.
"I played a lot with my brother, and it's just me now. I've got to toughen up and get a lot of carries this year."

After decades of stagnation under military rule, Myanmar, a Southeast Asian country with a population of over 60 million, has finally opened up its borders, expecting to be flooded with foreign companies that have already been eyeing the country as a potential untapped source for investment opportunities.
Despite the impressive progress that the country has already made, a news article about Southeast Asia reforms and legislations has pointed out that there are still many challenges left to overcome before Myanmar can truly enjoy the prosperity it seeks.
Untapped Resources for Profit
From important beverage and tourism related brands to names that carry a lot of weight in the electronics manufacturing industry, Myanmar has received numerous visits from large and important foreign companies willing to expand their reach well within the borders of the Southeast Asian country.
Investment experts consider the country to be one of the greatest untapped resources for profit in the region, and tourism, food and beverage and various manufacturing industries are the ones where foreign companies have been most eager to test the potential that Myanmar's market has to offer.
Unfortunately, despite the drive and potential being high enough to support significantly profitable investments in the years to come, critics consider that certain issues – mostly of a legal nature – are expected to continue stalling the country's economic, educational and infrastructural development for quite some time.
Progress Stalled by Ineffective Legislation
As Myanmar's government has been pushing various laws to attempt the improvement of labor, investment and environmental standards, as well as to discourage issues such as corruption and stagnating reforms, these efforts have been widely criticized by foreign sources, many of which consider them to lack the transparency and decisiveness needed for bringing all the long awaited changes that both local and foreign businesses require.
In some places, the lack of proper infrastructure has also played a key role in the lagging progress the country has been experiencing. In other areas, foreign investors have faced the lack of properly distributed resources, poorly organized local businesses and even gender-based discrimination that the newfound legislation has had considerable issues in properly addressing.
Despite all this, many still consider Myanmar to be one of the most remarkably improving Asian countries of our time, and a news article about Southeast Asia and human rights issues has revealed that gender and age discrimination has diminished considerably in recent years.
Although there is still a long way to go before Myanmar can truly establish itself as an industry and trade leader, even critics have shown a few optimistic nods, admitting that the situation might not be as difficult as it would seem.

BBM on iOS for $5 a month? No thanks. My BB friends can stay in touch through gchat or other free IM apps
RIM's Jim Balsillie wanted to open doors to BBM on iOS
Rumor has it that RIM's recently-resigned co-CEO and board member, Jim Balsillie, sought a drastic plan to open up their infrastructure to wireless service providers, and allow competing platforms, like iOS, to run data through it. That would enable many signature BlackBerry services, namely BBM, to run on iPhone. It would also let carriers offer lots of other inexpensive messaging plans for access to Twitter, Facebook, and other social networks. Unfortunately, the rest of the management team saw the move as too drastic and risky, so shortly thereafter, Balsillie quit.
See, BlackBerry smartphones shunt all of their data through a central server infrastructure managed by RIM in order to improve security and handle compression when needed. Back when carriers didn't have support for data, RIM actually worked as an mobile virtual network operator, renting network capacity to sell their devices and service. Even once carriers developed the ability to handle cellular data on their own, RIM kept the network operating center set-up and integrated it tightly with providers selling BlackBerry handsets.
BBM on iOS has been whispered about for some time, but with iMessage in the picture, there may not really seem like there's much reason for it at this point. However, cross-platform mobile IM continues to be a problem in search of a great solution.
There are still other avenues RIM is exploring when it comes to supporting multiple platforms, namely through the recently-launched Mobile Fusion app for remote enterprise device management. The PlayBook operating system supports Android apps, too. While I think revamping RIM's archiecture would have been an interesting move, and carriers would likely have given it a shot (at least for awhile), service revenue has always been a relatively small piece of RIM's earnings; for a small increase in cashflow from carriers, RIM would lose a ton of BlackBerry sales since the devices really wouldn't be offering anything unique anymore.
Even though BlackBerry market share is continuing to spiral downwards anyway, RIM will have one last hoo-rah with the BB10 update this fall. If that fails, then maybe Balsillie's plan may see a resurgence, or, more likely, RIM will start locking in those licensing partnerships they've been talking about.
Do you guys think RIM would be able to stay alive if they got BBM on iPhone? Would a super-cheap (say, $5/month) unlimited social networking plan appeal to you?

RIM's Jim Balsillie wanted to open doors to BBM on iOS
Another $5 a month? Per device? Added to my already huge monthly invoice? Not a chance!
I refuse to pay extra for a proprietary service. Besides, in a year or 2 who will be using a crackberry and BBM? I don't know anyone who actually likes their crackberry. BBM doesn't have nearly the appeal since iMessage was introduced. Unless BBM becomes a universal (mobile and desktop, all OS's) messaging platform, I can't see it surviving. And that wouldn't be feasible.
$5/year would be more reasonable.
BB is done. This is like watching a ship sink; a slow, miserable, yet inevitable end to the titan Blackberry.
When you can be in a room, hear Marimba playing and 15 people reach for their phone, you know your day has past. Goodbye BBM... HELLO iMessage!
Clearly people are misunderstanding what you wrote, Simon. Typical. Nobody actually reads before they start whining and moaning.
So to clarify, Simon is asking you if a 5 dollar unlimited social plan could REPLACE your current iPhone data plan. It would only appeal to people who don't care about browsing or other data intensive stuff over cellular. That stuff would work only on WiFi.
Thanks Chris, I'll tweak the wording a bit.
It wouldn't replace it for me or I'm sure many others. I use a lot of data on a monthly basis for things other than iMessage/SMS/MMS, Facebook and Twitter or any other social network. I surf the web, big Pandora user and many other web services based applications as well as accessing my PogoPlug, so would I do it? NOPE!!! Would I like AT&T to get their network up to snuff? YEAH!!!!!!
Does that dude still have a job?
Before Imessage there might have been a temptation to buy something that brought BBM type service to the Iphone, but that time has passed. RIM started watching the checking account too closely and was dependent on corporations being lazy and slow....which is true....to not change from what they have been doing. I still miss the way blackberry handled email, twitter, facebook and the like, however I will not be going back anytime soon. While the iphone has a few things I do not like it has too many good features that make it a great phone.
You people don't understand. It's NOT on top of your data plan. It is INSTEAD of it. It wouldn't allow for web surfing but would allow for texting and social media connection(twitter,Facebook, etc) for a greatly reduced cost to consumers who want those but have no use for web surfing or other things that would require a $30 data plan. It would also allow people to access those services on non smart phones, reducing their costs even more. A win for everyone including RIM. More security for everyone, data compression reducing network load, lower costs and the list goes on. iMorons.

New museum will provide an interactive Great Lakes experienceWritten by Jay Hathaway | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A new Toledo museum will provide visitors with an interactive Great Lakes experience.
The Great Lakes Historical Society (GLHS) has announced the grand opening of the National Museum of the Great Lakes, located at the Toledo Maritime Center, 1701 Front St., will be held 10 a.m. April 26.
Along with the museum, visitors will be able to step aboard the SS Col. James M. Schoonmaker, formerly the Willis B Boyer, and enjoy an outdoor maritime park.
Anna Kolin, development director for the museum, said the idea for the location began in 2003 when the GLHS decided to move its original museum in Vermillion, Ohio, to a more expansive facility.
They found the then-unused Maritime Plaza in Toledo, along with the Willis B. Boyer, which was then being maintained by the city.
"They were very close to scrapping the ship," Kolin said. "There was a group of diligent people at The Toledo Club who had gathered together to save the ship, and it was about the same time that the Great Lakes Historical Society started having conversations with them. It seemed like a perfect connection to move the ship down there and bring the museum to Toledo."
In 2009, restoration began on the Boyer, including a reversion to its original name and colors. One year later, it was moved next to the new site of the museum.
Though it is not the first museum dedicated to Great Lakes history and lore, Kolin said the National Museum is unique in its comprehensive exhibits and interactive experience.
"It's not just a regional museum. It talks about how all the Great Lakes affect the continent as a whole. It truly includes all of the Great Lakes," Kolin said. "We talk about industry, the War of 1812 and World War II and the training of Air Force pilots on the Great Lakes.
"Then we move into shipwrecks and survival, which is probably the most romanticized of all of the areas."
Kolin said there have been more than 8,000 shipwrecks on the Great Lakes, and the museum will include artifacts from many of them, including a life raft from perhaps the most famous, the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Visitors will also be able to take part in simulated shipwreck dives, and control a camera that will allow them to explore the wreckage.
"There's a lot of footage that you can see from actual dives," Kolin said. "It's kind of like you are actually diving down into the ship."
"It's an integration of hands-on exhibits and artifacts."
During warmer months, a tour of the ship will be included with admission. Kolin said a lower price of admission will be offered during inclement weather and cold months, because the walking surfaces of the ship can get slippery.
Adjacent to the museum is a 3.5-acre maritime-themed park area. Inside the park is a "grand plaza," featuring a huge concrete inset of the Great Lakes. The Arts Commission also worked with the GLHS to provide several Great Lakes-themed poems in the concrete paths leading into the plaza.
Regular hours of operation will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Adult admission for both the museum and the ship is $12, $8 for the museum only. Children ages 6-18 and seniors older than 65 get $1 off. Children 5 and younger are free.

In its current facilities program, the Aiken County Board of Education has left the aging Leavelle McCampbell Middle School out of a five-year building plan – but not likely any more.
At a work session Tuesday, Deputy Superintendent David Caver recommended that the Board members consider the approval of an effort to build a new facility in Graniteville. It would be completed in about five years, replacing the 93-year-old school that has a structure that worries district personnel in the long-term.
However, Caver said the building remains safe for students.
The Board will take a formal action on that proposal at its regular meeting on Feb. 12, but its members already appeared committed to that idea. Board members Dwight Smith and Wesley Hightower – both representing portions in the Valley area – emphasized the need for new construction.
A new Leavelle McCampbell would cost $22 million and possibly more - funding that would come by postponing two other major projects. Renovations at Gloverville Elementary School will be pushed back out of the five-year facilities plan. So would the expansion of New Ellenton Middle School into a K-8 facility, allowing an also aging Greendale Elementary School to close.
A new wing for North Augusta High School remains on schedule to begin in the 2013-14 year; the planning stage is well under way, and site work won't be far behind.
The shift in plans won't have any new impact on taxpayers, said Smith. The funds were already allocated for facilities and maintenance, he said.
A new Leavelle McCampbell would be built next to Byrd Elementary School off Bettis Academy Road – itself built in 2008. The land for Leavelle would be offered to the district at no cost by developer Fine-Deering. That action would be well ahead of the school district's option deadline for the property by 2016.
A new middle school for Graniteville was part of a massive facilities program that the School Board set forth in 2010 – a bond referendum for $236 million to build new or renovate six schools in the county. The election in May that year failed by a huge 70-30 percent margin.
While the Gloverville and New Ellenton projects are also significant, "We never have enough dollars to take care of every need," Caver said. "We struggle and prioritize and that's what we have to face: Somebody gets left out."
As for Leavelle McCampbell, the district's construction managers can no longer do significant repairs on it, Caver said. Any issue that comes up is simply not feasible, he said. The infrastrucure and systems are just too old to upgrade, he said.
Board member Levi Green represents the New Ellenton area.
"We're giving that project for now," he said. "We have to be willing to move it back because the need at Leavelle."

MMAFighting's Chuck Mindenhall wrote a tremendous piece on what life is like now for UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman, and what it was like before dethroning Anderson Silva.
"He was essentially homeless," his grappling coach John Danaher says. "He was financially completely bankrupt. I remember I had to lend Chris thousands of dollars out of my own pocket just to keep him solvent while hes preparing to fight Silva. And his life was essentially in chaos. One day when people know the full story of what happened, Im not kidding when I say this, its like a goddamn Hollywood movie. Its Rocky Balboa. Its insane."
"The guy had nine fights. Bankrupt. Homeless. With a completely broken shoulder. As far as Im aware the only guy who came off of major surgery and won his next fight was Georges St-Pierre - and Georges had more than twice the amount of healing time that Chris did. He got a full year and a half off. Chris had six months."
Weidman himself talks about his hardships before his strong left hand changed his portfolio.
"Ive never had anything. I just wanted to one day live comfortable. Like, be able to go out to lunch with my friends without being like, crap, I dont know if I can afford this bill right now. I shouldnt be doing this. Thats all I really wanted. And because of the UFC and where Im at now? I dont have to worry about."
"Im fortunate. I never thought Id be in this position. Its amazing to be here. Even though everything I was going through with Sandy and financially, it still wasnt the worst spot I grew up in my life. When I was coaching at Hofstra, I had a lot less money. I grew up with a lot less."

|Assistant Coach
|1st season
|Previous College:
Carr, who was a Wildcat senior co-captain and team MVP in 2012, joined the UNH coaching staff as assistant coach in June 2013.
After graduating from UNH with a degree in Kinesiology: Sport Studies in 2012, Carr spent a year coaching at Broderick Gymnastics in Hyde Park, Mass., under the tutelage of 1994 UNH alum Karen (Olsson) Broderick, who helped guide the 'Cats to the 1994 NCAA Championship meet.
Carr, a four-year member of the UNH gymnastics team, was feted as team MVP following a 2012 season in which she earned a place on the All-East Atlantic Gymnastics League (EAGL) Second Team on vault and balance beam and garnered EAGL All-Tournament Second Team honors on vault and uneven bars. The Chelmsford, Mass., native sported the Wildcats' top vault mark in 11 of 13 meets, highlighted by first-place scores in four straight meets from Jan. 1-Feb. 10. She compiled a 9.830 Regional Qualifying Score (RQS) to rank eighth in the Northeast Region and tie for 10th in EAGL competition. Her previous All-EAGL awards include First Team on bars ('09) and vault ('11) and Second Team on bars ('11). She secured a place on the EAGL All-Tournament Second Team on bars in both '09 and '11.
As a sophomore in 2010, Carr scored a career-high 9.950 on bars in a home victory against Brown (Feb. 12) to equal UNH's all-time high mark on that apparatus with Olsson and Mariana Peña Trestini (Austyn Fobes tied the score in 2011). Carr's other career highs are 9.875 on vault and a 9.900 on beam.
Carr becomes the first UNH alumnae to join the Wildcats' coaching staff since Jana (Reardon) Mowers (1998-99).

They were still making snide comments about it while we were pulling trash to the Maiden of Grief, and I finally snapped, "He's right. You can spare a second to interrupt the cast, and if you won't do that, the least you can do is avoid killing a mind-controlled player." The abuse rerouted in my direction for a few minutes, but one of the nice things about working here is that after you've been a target of the professional trolling class, their amateur counterparts don't have that much effect.
It leaves me wondering how you deal with unpleasant players without causing a blow-up or turning into a bit of an ass yourself (as I admit I probably was while coming to the defense of the moonkin). We all run into them eventually, and I don't know whether it's better to speak up on behalf of a bullied player who may not want the help, simply drop group or spend the run in silence, not rising to the bait.

Sorry OP, but some people are always going to be better gamers than others. Just like some people are smarter than others. Using yourself an proof is hardly any way to make a point.
The fact of the matter is that some people are able to multitask better than others; others are better at hand-eye coordination; others are smarter at noticing how well certain moves work against opponents; some players just have all of the aptitudes for gaming while others only have a few.
What is hilarious is for someone to claim that skill is not a factor in any mental or physical sport...

Like any other game (RL, computer, board game, etc.) it does take skill from a combination of intellect, coordination, quick thinking, practice, knowledge, etc.
Come play darkfall and lets see how good you really are.

But, it is partially true. As example. The original UT and Quake3 were a lot faster as lets say CS or BF or almost all modern shooter. It required a lot more quickness(hand eye coordinationes and reflexes).. but is that skill? Well, in some way yes.
In MMOs, where you got in most games a Global Cooldown of above 1 sec. everything is more or less super slow and you dont need a lot of hand eye coordiation or reflexe.. because almost all are capable of handling that. Then it becomes more about knowledge of the game, or imbalances within, or team play or whatever.
But your thesis about "true skill" is right. Different games require different qualifications.. and the most of it can be learned over time from almost everyone. And the last 1% is skill, or better said, physical advantage. In some games it is less in other more, but in almost all the greater share is time spent.

Sometimes I play in a way that makes it more fun for other players even if I loose.
I call it a skill.

1) If you play Counter-Strike or Starcraft, your skill is "true" while other games make your skill (I can only assume...) "untrue".
2) If I speak about PvP in any fashion, it MUST have been because I lost, am angry at losing, and am frustrating with my inability to play correctly. If you "dis" PvP in any regard, it MUST be because you suck at it.
3) Other irrational claims not based in reality.
The primary point of the OP is that playing a specific game, such as Counter-Strike or Starcraft, doesn't make your "skill" any more "true" than if you were playing a different video game.

If I beat the person, why would it be "true skill"?
If I lose to the person, ask why, and they state that they have hundreds, even thousands of more hours in the game than me, how is their skill truer than someone who doesn't play Counterstrike, Starcraft, or Chess- and instead plays a less popular FPS, RTS, or board game?
The concept of "True Skill" is laughable, because of the implication of it being "True" as compared to other Skills of equal competency.
I'm sorry, but I refuse to recognize Counter-Strike players as having "True Skill" while people who play Tribes don't know what "True Skill" is.
Either Skill is "True" anywhere it is found, or there is no such thing as "True Skill". Since the very semantics of "True Skill" is to differentiate "True Skill" from "Skill" or "Regular Skill" with an emphasis on "Skill" not being actual Skill and demeaning it of its definition...I propose that "True Skill" is a myth.
Of course, I MUST suck at Counter-Strike, Starcraft, and Chess. How else would I come to this conclusion that "True Skill" is a myth? Why else would I not worship tournament winners and pro gamers, as if they're better than other players who could beat them but do NOT enter tournaments? I must be blind to "True Skill" since I am unable to recognize it in players who score thousands of hours in a single video game. I mean, it's not like the best of the best isn't some 12 year old Chinese prodigy gamer who never enters tournaments but can headshot you with an unscoped sniper rifle from 1000m away.
I believe the argument here, and especially those who vehemently disagree with me to the point of feeling a desire to attempt to attack my perspective or insult me personally, is mostly about the definition of "True Skill". I am often amazed at how people can disagree with one another without even first agreeing on what they're discussing.

Exactly. Yet so many here believe skill is not only real in video games, but it is TRUE or "more true" in one video game over the next.
You will find these quotes to be commonplace among gamers:
"WoW Arena 5v5 is the only Arena that actually matters." (It matters? It matters more than other forms of competitive play? It matters more than PvE?)
"You don't know what true skill is, until you play in CS1.6 or Starcraft tournaments and win."
"It's not REAL PvP unless it's FFA PvP."
"If you're complaining, speaking ill of competitive play, or insulting my game idealogy, it MUST be because suck. There is no other reasoning to be speaking right now." (Paraphrase Interpretation of Trollspeak)

No need to provide links, what you say is entirely believable simply for its accuracy.
It is great to know that other gamers who are excellent at video games believe the same thing.
I'd have to say, this is entirely accurate. If I were to give three reasons why I am typically better than most players, it would have to be
1) Speed. Hands down, this is why. I am pretty sure the reason I cast off 4-5 abilities by the time someone does a single 1, is because of speed. There's few other reasons I see me being better than simply being able to click, key, or mouse faster.
2) Experience & Knowledge of gaming in general. Knowing that whenever your enemy goes around a wall expecting you, simply reversing where someone would normally go is almost always a guaranteed win in casual play. Even among good players, my experience playing lets me KNOW where to go or what to do. You learn not only to predict casual players, but even to predict people you know are trying to predict you (better players). Knowing the best order to use your abilities, knowledge of the game mechanics as to what is OP and gimped, what should be saved, and how to counter what most newbs complain about and say is an OP ez-mode ability. (Ex. I never had a problem with Frenzy in GW2, as my build was OP, and the first good player to use it on me was shot down by me reading how to counter it-- which is super easy.)
3) Hardware, Software Computer Knowledge, etc. (Especially in an MMORPG, this naga mouse is epic ez-mode, lol. In SWTOR PvP, I even had one character who literally just spammed a SINGLE button. In other games, I sometimes create scripts to be lazy.) If anyone even uses the mouse to CLICK an ability, I instantly laugh at them. It's like someone claiming to be good at FPS games while using a Controller (as opposed to a mouse+keyboard).
By far though, it's speed. Knowledge of the game, hardware or computer knowledge, accuracy, coordination-- nothing compared to Speed. (Hardware counts when it comes to giving you better Speed, but since it's NOT an option for me to NOT use some form of superior input config, my #3 is separate from #1.)
While I am no expert in RTS games, my competitive experiences and research into pro play indicates that Speed has a significant importance in these games. Otherwise, people wouldn't be so obsessed with clicks per minute.

It is very unfortunate that your arrogance has blinded you to how ironic your comments truly are.
The first accusation, is simply irrational. I already stated I win far more than I ever lose, often topping charts. Even with a team loss, I typically do the best on my team, and feel great about my abilities. You must not read very well, as this was stated clearly in the OP.
The second accusation is where the irony floods in. You claim I do not have a grasp of the english language or the definition of "skill", yet never for a moment do I deny there is skill in video games, or that Time Played * Other Factors = Skill.
The heavy amount of irony is in the simple fact we are talking about other's definitions of "True Skill", which is defined by them to be strictly opposite of "Skill" or "Regular Skill" to the point of "Skill" losing its definition entirely. "You don't know True Skill unless you win CS1.6 or Starcraft tournaments."
Perhaps in your long, arrogant attempt to discredit me, you lost your ability to comprehend any part of the english language. It is actually quite scary that people like you exist, who sit at a computer screen, fail to read any part of the OP, lose any ability to understand the topic or meaning of the thread, and then insist that someone else fails understanding the definition of a word which they never spoke of directly...all with an arrogance so heavy that you probably gave yourself a pat on the back with a mischivious smirk, "My ability to debate absolutely destroyed him!"
If you were able to comprehend any part of the english language, you would readily see that I claim to possess SKILL, but do not believe "TRUE SKILL" exists, nor does "TRUE" Skill have any greater meaning than "SKILL" or "Regular Skill". How could I deny Skill exists or dispute the definition fo Skill, if I am claiming to possess said Skill and my only opinion is that Skill is Skill, and one Skill is no more "True" or meaningful than another?
True Skill > Skill? No, because True Skill doesn't exist. There is only Skill.
I would savor the delicious irony, except that the arrogance and excessive amount make it take bitter; Almost disgusting.

Could you elaborate more on this "True Skill" belief? When I read it I think of 'random talent' that players get from playing other games and I know that is not the correct assumption.
Or are you stating that just because a person is good in CS, DotA, or some other game, doesn't mean they are good in new game X, Y, or Z?

I was looking for something inexpensive to use for the fleas on my sons' kitten. She is almost a year old. I drenched her in this stuff from head to paw and I saw flea eggs and fleas just falling off of her.I did just as the label said and let it set for 5 minutes. I didn't even realize she had so many fleas. I couldn't believe how well it worked even with her thick fur. I would highly recommend this product!!
"Groomer Loves It!"
I'm a groomer and I use this most everyday for my fur faced clients! I apply this to dry coats and allow to soak in as I'm getting the coat wet with this product. The fleas are dead on contact. Love it will not use anything other than Deflea for a instant flea kill!
"Will NOT Buy Again"
"Didn't like this product, won't buy again -- wouldn't even use if someone gave me some. I bought the 16.9oz to give a try. I have 3 dogs, two are 75lbs, one is about 25lbs. There was zero lather to the shampoo, and the entire bottle was gone before I got through with my smallest dog. I've never had a problem with fleas before, but our smallest dog is a ""newbie"" and I found one or two on her, so I wanted to give them all a flea bath. I can't say for sure if it got rid of the few fleas she had, but this is a terrible product in my opinion. I know it is a ""FLEA"" shampoo, but you would think that there would be lather to it, maybe a bit of cleaning effect to it...SOMETHING...but this was like water coming out of a bottle. I noticed no difference after using it. My dogs all looked/smelled/acted the same!"
This flea shampoo is great. Wash your animal & the dead fleas will fall off in the water. No strong smell. wonderful!

As previously anticipated, Chrome OS is a Linux distribution that includes a custom version of Chrome as the default browser. Google has recently posted a build of the custom Chrome and some people installed the .deb package (it's no longer available officially, but you can download it from other sources).
Chrome for Chrome OS is not very different from the browser you can already install in Windows, Linux or Mac. The main difference is that the browser includes UI elements from a traditional operating system: clock, battery status, network settings.
Since Google Chrome will include most of the features that are necessary to use an operating system, it's obvious that the browser is the only visible component of Chrome OS, a lightweight browser-centric operating system.
There's no reason to anxiously wait for Chrome OS, when you can already use Chrome in your favorite operating system and get the same features. A metaphor has become reality, but the result fails to impress.
