I also don't now how the economy works in TERA.

The only way it would ever stop is for gamers to stop buying the gold/services. Nothing else will stop it.

My point is that you don't want a system that catches bots after the fact. You want to catch them as soon as they start. Otherwise it's whack a mole with new accounts being hacked daily.
Ideally you would detect that another process is accessing your memory and shut them down.

Popularity + difficulty obtaining gold = lots of botting... WOW and GW2 are probably the worst at the moment. I played Tera a bit and never found a reason to want more gold than what I could get through normal play...and its player base was and is also much smaller than WOW or GW2.

I content with a client side interface there is always the potential to exploit it. I recently read an article on how Blizzard over time had implemented server side checks for teleport hacks. The check are not even close to 100%. I think if they were it would drag the system to it's knees, there is not even close to enough processing bandwidth to individually check each client for shenanigans. Doesn't mean developers shouldn't try or that they are powerless but you have to be realisitic in what can and cant be done.
If we eliminate the client side I think they have a great shot but who is going to buy that game? It's like building a town but not allowing any people in it, it certainly wont have crime.

If bots / hacks problems will be present but small on new gen consoles in mmos and in same mmos on pc this problem will be big - then pc mmos and gaming will take huge hit in groin.

You're right though, the game may have not been popular enough, especially now, but when it released there really was a lot of players and no cash spammers at all, something i'd appreciate in GW2, I get mail multiple times per day from bots and see it ruin the chat in all the major cities.

That will NEVER happen. Ever. Some people have little time to play games but plenty of disposable income.
If that is your stance, we might as well encourage bots.

Yes, I know we were in agreement. Interactive games have to be...err... interactive. Somethikng needs to happen at the user end and communicated to the server in some fashion... that can always be exploited.
Write enough delays and semi random emotes, dances and whatever into a script, make it a lengthy one and very few people would be able to tell that it's not a live player mashing the keyboard unless you stalk the toon for an hour and catch on to the pattern. I personally know a talented programmer/hacker who not only botted WOW but also one of the on-line poker sites. It wasn't a business for him--he just did it for his own personal enjoyment. It was the challenge that got his juices going.
We only notice the simple obvious ones.

Plenty of people have botted poker. The sad part is a few years ago, last time I played some online poker, I looked at PokerStars rules and they flat out said you could use programs to help you make decisions as long as you entered the moves. This meant you could use strong software that flat out told you what to do, you could do it, make money and oh well to everyone else. And of course with how it is written, it makes it tough for them to say you had the program running playing automatically while you weren't there.
It was there way of saying they didn't want to deal with it so just do it.

It is not a stance, it is actual and undisputable fact. That is in all actuallity the only way that botting will ever stop. Nothing else, ever will make botting stop. EVER.
That is why my first post referenced the drug war. You can throw billions of dollars, lengthy jail terms and even death at people to try and stop something. But if there is enough profit to be made, they won't stop. With botting, an account gets closed so the punishment is far less and the profits are still very strong.
So yes, because there are a-holes who will always fund the botters, there will always be botters. It will never stop.

Hell just look at private servers too. People bot there, but theres no gold selling going on. They bot simply to get ahead in the game without having to do any of the work.

Same reason they keep flushing away billions of dollars trying to win the drug war. You have to LOOK like you're doing something and you care, otherwise everyone gets mad at you.
If a company were to be honest and say "Listen, we can't stop the bots. It isn't happening. So we're simply not going to spend money trying so we can instead invest that money into more content and features for you" people wouldn't be able to handle it and they'd quit.
Seriously, if you think that botting can and will be stopped, you are being naive. They can fight it, they can lessen it a bit, but they cannot stop it.
The closest you could get would be to make an MMO where nothing at all was tradeable in any way shape or form. Despite how unfun that would be, it still wouldn't fully stop it because people who buy accounts/characters and they'd sign up for power leveling services the botters run.

There is a difference.
First is the pure magnitude of it. Those botting while they're away to gain levels/resources are less than those who do it to sell gold. They also generally don't try to hack/steal accounts either.
Second: banning those accounts actually has an effect. It is a regular person who paid for this game and just lost money. They also lost time because even though they let a program level them up/gather their resources they just lost it all and would have to buy a new box/start a new sub and start over with the risk of losing it all again.
Those who do it for personal gain, don't steal accounts, don't sell gold are less of a problem and can actually be policed.

the only way to eliminate bots would probably be to encrypt the keystrokes, so that although a certain key always had the same action, the keystroke itself, was different, the token could very well be the time stamp, as without the encryption algorythm, any bot that simulated keystrokes would be useless. only problem is chat would have to be unencrypted at the server side too, as the keystrokes for regular chat wouldnt make sense as the keyboard would in effect, have been 'scrambled' the other problem of course would be the increase in the amount of lag between keystroke and action, due to the need to unencrypt them.

We can only show them the path, but they have to be the ones to take it.
Bots are easy to get rid of, programmatically.
However, when you buy a product, it is yours. It no longer belongs to the seller. Many countries have that constitutionalized, including the USA. Therefor, banning bots simply for botting can lead to a huge lawsuit. Outright banning is not a viable solution. You can ALWAYS get your account back, letters of intent are great. But that issue is minor compared to the real issue: Retards.
Yes, retards are the main botting problem. Retards are the "computer programmers" that get hacked. The security experts with a password that they use on 25 other sites. They are the ones who actually give their accounts to botters, who then steal the gold and spam your chats. So Anet is actually trying to force everyone to have a unique password. This, after a hack, forces the user to choose a password not already in their password DB. In the long run, it will work for 75% (approx) of the botting problems. You wont notice it in the first year, as most retards use an old password that is already in the botter's database. Those databases have 10 million entries.
Following greatly based on GW2:
Making gold a commodity rather than a necessity, it'd solve a huge chunk of botting. Legendaries and the likes should literally be unlocked through achieving, along with the removal of the consumable achieves most games have. This would halt the use of botting because there would be nothing to bot for. GW2 already uses that kind of currency in Karma. Trading post should award Karma for items picked up from there based on rarity. Remove capitalism from the game, you solve the gold selling bots for good. Honestly, if someone bots himself to 500k Karma, I DO NOT EVEN CARE. PvP should have alternative pvp karma, as should WvWvW.
Boycotting EA. Why? They suck, even moreso since 2008.

Ratings & Reviews
We used Mr Bryant to purchase our home in Jan 2010 and he was great. We enlisted him to sell our home this year (we are military) and were very disappointed with his service. He never called. Twice other agents with prospective buyers showed up to show the house and we were never notified. We had to suggest an open house as he never offered to hold one. We ran out of info flyers in the box in front of the house and it took him 2 weeks to get more to us. He had his secretary MAIL them to us instead of just stopping by. A little impersonal if you ask me. When we got the first offer he strongly suggested we take it saying we probably wouldn't get another one. Needless to say we wouldn't recommend him. More Less
A great agent, always available to answer questions and show homes. He was well known and well respected in the community and by the different lending instiutions in the area, and was easy to work with and for the lending institutions to deal with as well. I was a first time home buyer and he assisted me in every process, from searching for homes, to showing homes, to answering questions about the different neighborhoods, structures of each house, and remodeling costs, and what to tllok for in a home, and how to fix certain probalems, to making an offer, closing the deal, and everything in between. I would highly recommend this agent to anyone buying or selling in the area. More Less

In the New Hampshire 1st congressional district, there is a spirited, multi-candidate Republican primary race to face off against Democrat Carol Shea-Porter. The most viable Republicans are Sean Mahoney, Frank Guinta, Bob Bestani, and Rich Ashooh. (Polls suggest that Shea-Porter is in trouble, and the Cook Report pegs the seat as a "toss up.") One of the candidates, Ashooh, is being bankrolled by a curious character. Nijad Fares and his wife, who reside in Houston, donated $2,400 to Ashooh and raised thousands more for him, likely making Ashooh the GOP candidate in the race with the most donors from Houston. (Weird, huh?)
Now, who is Fares? He's a self-proclaimed advocate for increasing Arab clout in Congress. This report relates:
Nijad Fares bluntly laid out his strategy for increasing the clout of Arab-Americans in an opinion piece he authored that appeared in the Detroit News on Dec. 16, 1996.
"Arab-Americans must substantially increase contributions to political candidates," he wrote. "Even modest contributions help ensure that Members of Congress and their staffs take phone calls and are more responsive to requests. Furthermore, the contributor must make explicit an interest in Middle East-related issues."
He and his father, Issam ("known to be close to the powerful chief of Syrian intelligence in Lebanon, Ghazi Kenaan"), have been implicated in some funny business with regard to campaign donations:
After the Wall Street Journal reported the inaugural donation last month, the inaugural committee said the donation listed from Issam Fares came from the Link Group, LLC, a company headed by Nijad Fares and that the son had attempted to give credit for the donation to his father.
Both father and son have a long history of intimate political connections with U.S. politicians and have been major supporters of groups promoting Lebanon's interests. The family's main U.S. business holding, a Houston-based firm called the Wedge Group, is a major player in the oil services industry and is headed by William White, the former number two official at the Energy Department during the Clinton administration.
So what sorts of views does Nijad Fares hope will gain traction through fundraising like that done for Ashooh? We have some clues. It seems that Nijad Fares has a track record of giving to congressional candidates, having given handsomely to Rep. Joe Knollenberg and his state legislator son. Knollenberg "put 'Seeds of Peace' — a summer camp founded by Yasser Arafat's fave biographer — on the federal budget." He also "doled out at least $86 million of our tax money [in USAID funding to southern Lebanon] … allowing Hezbollah to rebuild its strongholds in Southern Lebanon and expand." That, it seems, is what "increasing Arabs' clout" is all about. (Fares also gave to Obama and to the only Republican to co-host J Street's confab, Charles Boustany. Fares is nothing if not consistent in his choice of recipients.)
And then there is this: when the fundraising brouhaha surfaced, Issam was quick to blame the Jews. Caught in a media firestorm for paying a large sum to Colin Powell for a speech five days before the 2000 election, he immediately "accused the 'Zionist lobby' of spreading 'distortion and lies.'"
And the family seems to have an unusual take on Hezbollah, as well. Issam offered this:
"It is a mistake to make a comparison between the [Al Qaeda] network … which Lebanon has condemned, and Hezbollah, which Lebanon considers a resistance party fighting the Israeli occupation," Fares told Agence France-Presse. He claimed the group has never targeted Americans, a position disputed by U.S. officials as well as Fares's own Wedge Group CEO.
An Ashooh spokesman had this comment when I asked about the Fares fundraising:
What I can tell you is this: People donate to the Ashooh campaign based on Rich's positions on the issues. As a candidate, he cannot possibly know or share all of the individual positions his donors may or may not have. At this time, Rich is focused on running a very positive campaign based on fiscal responsibility and bringing conservative, New Hampshire values back to Washington.
So are Ashooh's positions the same as those of the Fares family, and is he someone ready and willing to increase the clout of Arabs? The campaign did not respond to my direct queries on these points or whether he will return the funds. If it does, I will be sure to pass it on.

I honestly don't know why news outlets, Toledo Free Press and WSPD included, bother to include comment sections on their stories online. If anybody is so motivated to add something to a story, it's never anything that actually adds anything. More likely, you'll get someone asking "How is this news?" or what "the real story" is, or pointing out the obvious slant the reporter who penned the article has. Sports writing is not spared either: a 5,000 word masterpiece (or, in my case, a 900-word panic attack) could be tagged with just "GO BROWNS!"
So, when the perfect comment comes along, I feel like it should be celebrated. Held up as an example as to what we, as a species, is capable of.
Let's rewind to earlier in the week: the MLB All-Star Game took place on Tuesday, and might as well have been Derek Jeter's "This Is Your Life." Some of what took place was pretty awesome: the game ops at Target Field used a recording of late-Yankee Stadium announcer Bob Sheppard to call up Jeter, which led to a standing ovation and a "Der-ek Je-ter!" chant. He went 2-for-2, had a pretty neat snag in the top of the first, and got a nice send-off in the fourth. But things also got laid on a little thick: all in all, Jeter's name was mentioned no less than 100 times on the broadcast, and continued to be a point of contention, even after he was out of the game. Not to mention the hubbub that surrounded Adam Wainright's confession that he curved a couple of fastballs to Jeet, as if it was some mortal sin.
Meanwhile, many baseball fans felt that something was missing: any sort of acknowledgement of some of the baseball greats that have passed within the last year. Tony Gwynn was amongst the most prominent, but Don Zimmer and Bob Welch are also names that left the baseball world this year. And sure, while Fox and MLB are under no obligation to recognize the deceased at an All-Star Game, it is the first time of the year that all of MLB has gathered, and it would have been a nice gesture.
After the grumblings of the disgruntled baseball viewers reached a dull roar, Fox Broadcasting and MLB released a statement, as posted to the Facebook account of reporter (and friend of University of Toledo's Tie One On fundraiser) Ken Rosenthal:
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn, an extraordinary individual whose memory we have honored in numerous ways in recent weeks. The Baseball family has sadly lost a number of people this year – including Hall of Famer Ralph Kiner, Frank Cashen, and former All-Stars Jerry Coleman, Jim Fregosi and Don Zimmer – and did not want to slight anyone by singling out one individual."
It is there, where one of the greatest Internet comments appeared. The first comment on the post, and the best by a longshot, came from Rich McCrary, who laid it out in three simple sentences:
"You spent the whole night singling out one individual. Fox and MLB blew it. Weak excuse.
The best and worst thing about talking sports is that everyone has an equal voice. People like to think they know politics, but more often than not, they don't know exactly what's happening. Economics, both micro- and macro-, are getting further and further beyond common sense, that it's tough to keep up. Having a pertinent opinion in sports is simple, as long as you're paying attention, and Rich up there knocked it out of the park. Put that in the Hall of Fame.

Every year, more growers are using protected culture to get a jump on the season, reduce the effects of variable weather, and improve the flavor and yield of tomatoes. Even a simple hoophouse can add 3-4 weeks to tomato season, and shield a crop from pests and diseases. Putting tomatoes under cover increases the quality and quantity over a longer season. Johnny's 'greenhouse' tomatoes have been specifically selected for protected culture performance.

The Vampire Diaries
Paul Wesley's Wife Is Returning to The Vampire Diaries! Other Stars Who Have Guest Starred on Their Spouses' Shows
As huge Pretty Little Liars fans, we were excited when ;Torrey DeVitto, who's married to Paul Wesley (Stefan), was cast in a few episodes of The Vampire Diaries. Sure, it's a little awkward that she played the love interest of his pal ;Matt Davis (Alaric), but at least they got to carpool together. Now Torrey is returning and the adorable pair will actually appear in a few scenes together.
Torrey and Paul are following in a long tradition of stars being cast as guest stars on their spouses' television shows. (Remember when Tom Arnold would occasionally appear on Roseanne?) It's always fun to see a married couple work together — though a little awkward to catch the episode in reruns years later if they've since divorced. Regardless, here are some of our favorite spousal guest spots.

2013 Athletic Hall of Fame award
Dec. 7, 2013
CINCINNATI – Tara Boothe-Smith ('06), Michael Davenport ('91), Daniel Froehle ('86), Angela Hinrichs-Fassbender ('04) and Douglas Tegge ('95) were inducted into Xavier's Athletic Hall of Fame Saturday afternoon in the Duff Banquet Center at Cintas Center.
Boothe, Xavier's all-time leading women's basketball scorer with 2,324 points, was the first ever Musketeer to eclipse the 2,000-points, 1,000-rebounds mark and is currently in third place on Xavier's all-time rebounding list with 1,004. Boothe, who had her "33" jersey retired, still holds the XU single-season scoring record with 659 points during the 2004-05 season as well as the Xavier single-season scoring average record with 21.5 ppg in 2005-06. Boothe graduated with the school career records for field goals made (now second at 883), field goals attempted (now second at 1,687), free throws made (490) and free throws attempted (661).
The Fort Thomas, Ky., native who was a local prep star at Highlands High School, led Xavier to an 80-42 overall record and a 43-21 mark in Atlantic 10 play during her four-year tenure as a Musketeer. She helped lead her team to national post season play four-consecutive years, including an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2002-03 and three-straight WNIT runs 2003-06. Boothe, a two-time Atlantic 10 scoring champion (2004-05 at 20.6 ppg. and 2005-06 at 21.5 ppg.), was named to the A-10 All-Conference First Team and All-Academic in each of her final three seasons and was named the A-10 Rookie of the Year as a freshman in 2003 in addition to earning A-10 Third Team honors. She was honored by the Associated Press as an Honorable Mention All-American and was named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Watch list in 2005-06.
A four-year starter, Davenport helped Xavier average over 24 wins per season during his career as a Musketeer. XU compiled a 97-31 (.758) record during Davenport's four seasons, including four NCAA Tournament bids and XU's first-ever berth in the NCAA "Sweet 16" his junior year. XU recorded two of its best season records ever during Davenport's junior year (28-5 in 1989-90) and freshman year (26-4 in 1987-88). Davenport, a member of the Xavier 1,000-Point Club who scored 1,172 career points, was a solid defender and explosive offensive player, particularly from three-point range. His senior year he was the team's leading scorer before he went down to an injury at Saint Louis, but still finished second on the team and seventh in the MCC with an average of 14.1 ppg. He also ranked third in the MCC in three-point field goals made per game (2.1) and fifth in the MCC in three-point percentage (.413). He graduated with the school record for most career three-pointers of 151, although that record has since been broken. He connected for four three-pointers in a game on nine different occasions as a senior, including the MCC Championship game where he scored 19 points. He was selected to the 1991 and 1988 All-MCC Tourney Teams.
Froehle, a two-time All-MCC selection, has the third highest batting average ever during a career in Xavier history with a .376 (227-603) mark from 1982-86. Froehle ranks third all-time for career homers (38) and first all-time in triples (18). He is number three on the list of most runs scored in a career with 181, fifth in RBIs with 168, seventh on the career hits list with 227, seventh on the walks list with 119 and seventh in career stolen bases with 58. Froehle is number one on the all-time list of highest batting average for a single-season at .456, going 63-of-138 the 1983 as a sophomore. That same year he ranked 11th in the nation and was the top sophomore in batting average and pounded out an .870 slugging percentage.
Hinrichs, a former standout athlete at Cincinnati's McAuley High School, was the first Xavier women's swimmer to win an Atlantic 10 Championship, she earned plenty of accolades during her four-year career, including First Team All-Conference in the 100 free and Second Team All-Conference in the 200 free in 2001-02. Her efforts played a significant role in the women's team climb within the Atlantic 10 Conference.
Hinrichs broke the Xavier record in the 100 free with a time of 51.47 in 2002, a record that is still standing. She ranks second all-time for XU in the 50 free (23.93 in 2004), third in the 200 free (1:53.28, 2002) and sixth in the 200 IM (2:09.29, 2002). She was very successful during her career at the Atlantic 10 Championships, including a gold medal in 2002 for the 100 free and a silver medal in 2002 for the 200 free. In 2004 she returned to the medal stand with a bronze medal in the 100 free. Hinrichs, a two-time selection as Xavier Swim Team MVP, was a nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award and earned Xavier's highest honor for a senior student-athlete, the Paul L. O'Connor Award.
A former men's soccer player, Tegge led Xavier men's soccer to a higher level during his four seasons. In his freshman year, Tegge finished second on the team in points and scoring with 15 points and six goals. He was also named MVP of the Diadora Classic at University of Cincinnati. As a sophomore, Tegge helped XU reach the top of the MCC standings, pulling a worst to first turnaround. He steadily improved each season at XU and set numerous records along the way, establishing five school records; most career goals (51), career assists (27), career points (129), points in a season (53) and goals in a season (22). His career assist record was eclipsed in 2000.
During his senior season, Tegge ranked among the nation's leaders in scoring with 53 points. Tegge also collected an array of awards while at XU, including MCC Player-of-the-Year and a spot on the All-MCC First Team. Tegge also received All-MCC honors in `93 (Second Team) and `94 (First Team). Upon completing his career at XU, Tegge was selected by the Dayton Dynamo with the third pick in the National Professional Soccer League Draft. The Dayton Dynamo became the Cincinnati Silverbacks.
The event, which began at 11 a.m., was attended by fellow Hall-of-Famers, family and friends of the inductees and university administrators. The ceremony was held prior to the Xavier men's basketball matchup with the Falcons of Bowling Green.

The Independent
Moncks Corner town attorney John West presented town council with the framework for a special election for the office of mayor of Moncks Corner slated for March 2015 during the Tuesday, July 15 town council meeting.
With Mayor Bill Peagler winning the election for county supervisor in June and on the assumption he wins the general election in November and resigns from office effective December 31, 2014, the countdown to a special election will begin on January 1, 2015.
West told members of council the information was provided to him by Adam Hammons, Director of Berkeley County Elections and Registration.
Peagler defeated Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis in the June 24 Republican primary runoff to become the Berkeley County Supervisor-elect. Now Moncks Corner will have to find a new mayor.
Once Peagler tenders his resignation Mayor Pro Tem Michael Lockliear will move to the center seat and assume the role of Interim Mayor until the special election scheduled for Tuesday, March 31, 2015.
Filing for the special election opens at noon on Friday Jan. 15, 2015 and will remain open for 10 days and close at noon on Monday, Jan. 26, 2015.
The new mayor could be sworn in immediately after the election results are certified, or at the next regularly scheduled town meeting.
Should a current town council member run for and win the mayors race then the following dates would apply for a special election to fill the unexpired term of the town council seat.
Filing would begin at noon on Friday, April 17, 2015 and remain open until noon on Monday, April 27, 2015. The special election would be held on Tuesday, June 30, 2014.

2011 Men's Cross Country Season Review
- Release Date:
- November 1, 2011
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
2011 Season Review: The Hilbert men's cross country team finished another season with a core group of committed runners blended with a few new experienced athletes to give first year head coach Geoff Brunger a nice welcome season. Brunger provided the consistent teaching and preparation for his veteran squad and challenged them to push further than ever before. The Hawks trained every day and raced on weekends in anticipation of the AMCC championship meet at the end of October. Eight dedicated runners ran the 8K race at Beaver Island State Park (Grand Island, NY) and brought home a ninth place finish.
Hilbert's top male runner was sophomore-transfer Matt Williams (Orchard Park, NY/Orchard Park). He led the Hawks in all the races he competed in with his best 8K time of 33:29 at the CCOC race held at Seneca Lake State Park. Challenging for the second place finish all year were senior Aaron Lawrence (Fishkill, NY/John Jay &Erie Community College), freshman John Sadowski (Elma, NY/Iroquois) (whose personal time improved by 3 minutes over the course of the season), and Matt Hunt (Holbrook, NY/Centereach). Lawrence earned the team's first individual finish at the Fredonia Invitational (37:54); Sadowski's personal best was at the CCOC (35:13) and constantly was in the mix as the second finisher for the Hawks; and Hunt always had big sprints to finish each race (36:19 best time at Behrend Invite).
The remaining Hawks brought great senior attitudes and work ethic to the team. Pat Lagueras (Rochester, NY/Charles Finney), who used the fall season to physically prepare for the spring baseball season, ran a 38:30 in the championship race. Paul Coleman (Buffalo, NY/Bishop Timon-St. Jude) and Steven Crane (Williamsville, NY/Williamsville North) often trained together and motivated each other during the long races. Crane carved minutes off his times over the course of the season (eight from the first race to the 52:24 AMCC time), while Coleman struggled with knee problems, but pushed through the pain.
Rounding out the roster were Cameron Haag (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Wheatfield), and Lenny Messina (Lake Grove, NY/Centereach). Due to scheduling issues, Haag didn't run with the team until the last four races in October. He was able to drop almost three minutes off his first time at the Medaille Invitational (Beaver Island State Park) to the AMCC championship race. Messina ran early in the season giving the Hawks support in September.
The Hawks continue to train year round with the expectation of establishing a solid cross country program at Hilbert College.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Click Here for your First Glimpse at Fall Football Figures
Friday, June 10, 2005
McFarlane Toys is just as ready for football season as you are. And while the pigskin won't arrive until September, we can build up even more anticipation by preparing our NFL 11 Sports Picks series. This set includes two of the best QBs in the game, a trio of devastating running backs, two stunning receivers, the top 2005 draft pick and a dominant offensive lineman. McFarlane Toys is proud to bring football season a little closer -- one figure at a time.
TOM BRADY 2: Brady steered the Patriots past record-setting Peyton Manning, the 15-1 Steelers and over the Eagles to land a third Super Bowl title in just his sixth season. Winning a third championship lands New England's "golden child" in the pantheon of all-time NFL quarterbacks; only Brady, Troy Aikman, Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana have won three or more NFL championships. Not bad for a sixth-round draft pick...
BEN ROETHLISBERGER: Following Week Two of the 2004 NFL season, the Pittsburgh Steelers were 1-1 and had just lost starting quarterback Tommy Maddox to an elbow injury. Rookie Ben Roethlisberger stepped into the starting lineup in a brutal Miami rainstorm but guided Pittsburgh to a 13-3 victory over the Dolphins -- the first of 15 consecutive victories. "Big Ben" finished fifth in the NFL in quarterback rating and led Pittsburgh to the AFC title game. A banner hanging in Pittsburgh's Heinz Field proclaimed Roethlisberger as a "godsend." Wonder what his encore will look like?
ALEX SMITH: Smith was the top overall selection in the 2005 draft. He re-wrote the record book at Utah, setting new standards for completion percentage (66.3 percent), passing efficiency (162.7) and yards gained per completion (13.5). Smith's career numbers are staggering, passing for 5,208 yards, 47 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. He led the Utes to their highest national ranking in 2004 while becoming the school's first Heisman Trophy and Davey O'Brien award finalist. He joins a storied franchise, hoping to become the next great quarterback to wear the 49ers red and gold.
RANDY MOSS 2: "This off-season (Moss) has embarked on the most aggressive workout program of his career because he is determined to prove to the rest of the NFL that Raiders owner Al Davis stole the best receiver in football," wrote Karl Taro Greenfeld in the May 16 edition of Sports Illustrated. That sound is AFC West cornerbacks puckering up. After seven strong (and sometimes controversial) seasons in Minnesota, Moss brings his highlight reel to Oakland -- hoping to kickstart the Raiders offense. Moss already ranks eighth in career touchdown catches (with 90) and looks to add even more as the biggest addition to the Raider Nation.
JULIUS JONES: A shoulder injury limited Jones to just eight games in his rookie season, but the Notre Dame product did the 'Boys proud -- rushing for 819 yards and seven touchdowns. It wasn't that long ago that a short back with good speed and great vision paced the Dallas attack. Fans of "America's Team" are excited about the new weapon, and eager to see what his first full season will bring.
TIKI BARBER 2: The New York Giants jumped out to a 5-2 start last season, only to tailspin (with losses in eight of their last nine games) to a 6-10 finish. The absolute shining star for New York's schizophrenic season was Tiki Barber -- who averaged nearly 5 yards per carry in racking up a career-best 1,518 yards rushing in his third consecutive thousand-yard season. Barber combines terrific speed with brilliant vision and he'll be the key to the Giants offense again in 2005.
WILLIS McGAHEE: No one who saw it will ever forget it. In the final minutes of his college career, Miami running back Willis McGahee took a devastating hit to his left knee, buckling it backward and leaving the Fiesta Bowl crowd and a national television audience recoiling in horror. Surgery to repair three torn ligaments was set for Jan. 5, 2003, and the Heisman Trophy finalist promised he'd still fulfill his dream of playing in the NFL. McGahee embarked on a vigorous rehabilitation program. Encouraged by his progress and impressed by his determination, the Buffalo Bills selected McGahee with the 23rd pick in the NFL draft. McGahee did not play in the 2003 season, but won the starting tailback job and turned in a brilliant debut (1,128 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns) in 2004.
JOE HORN: The Chiefs' loss was the Saints' gain. After four seasons and just two starts, Joe Horn changed addresses -- leaving Kansas City behind and landing in The Big Easy with a starring role on the Saints. New Orleans had a season of inconsistency in 2004, putting together a four-game winning streak and a pair of three-game losing streaks, but Horn's brilliance was hard to ignore. He turned in his best season ever, finishing second in the league with 1,399 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. New Orleans rewarded Horn with a six-year contract extension -- locking down their best player for years to come.
WILLIE ROAF: The 10-time Pro Bowler has left a pile of frustrated linebackers and flattened defensive ends in his wake. Roaf brings 6'5" and 320 pounds of road-grader power to the Chiefs' left tackle position, clearing the path for Priest Holmes, Larry Johnson and anyone else lucky enough to run behind him. Kansas City's offense has ranked at or near the league's best since 2002, when Roaf arrived to cement down the most vital position on the offensive line. Roaf isn't allowed at autograph signings for Holmes or Trent Green, since he never lets anyone get close to them.
NFL Series 11 is due to hit stores in October. In the meantime, enjoy the photography.

No more twisting your back to get the car seat in just the right position! Plus, the base itself employs patent-pending StrongArm technology to ensure a secure installation in 60 seconds or less.
For the ultimate smooth ride for children, QuadShock™, Orbit's patent-pending 4-wheel stroller suspension, gives a plush ride with hassle-free, non-air tires that are made with lightweight and responsive EVA. And with the world's only car seat fabrics certified healthy and clean by Oeko-Tex, this product is one of the most eco-friendly you can buy.
To complete the travel system, SmartHub allows the infant car seat to dock to the lightweight stroller from any angle with a 360 degree rotation that allows baby to face rear, forward, or sideways. And, because all Orbit Baby products are designed with the same interchangeable SmartHub technology, you can continue to use the base and stroller with other Orbit Baby seats and accessories.

Rated 1 out of 5�by lcarp Poorly made! I was so excited to finally find a little black dress that was sexy but "not too". Unfortunately, the quality of the manufacturing of this dress is very poor. The dress has a zipper in the back that, when sewed in, left an extremely bulky line down the back. The dress did not lay smooth, as pictured on the website. I have returned to Bebe. :( November 26, 2013

Pros Pick: Aldo vs. EdgarFormer Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight titleholder Frankie Edgar will downshift to 145 pounds to challenge Jose Aldo for his featherweight crown in the UFC 156 main event this Saturday at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
Sherdog.com touched base with a number of professional fighters and trainers to gauge their opinions on the UFC 156 Aldo vs. Edgar headliner:
Mitch Clarke: Im picking Aldo by decision or a late TKO. I think Frankie will lose his speed advantage going down in weight against a bigger, faster, stronger fighter.
Jeff Hougland: I honestly cant pick a winner here. I would say Aldo has the speed and athleticism going for him, but Edgar has the heart, skills and more big-fight experience. Im just gonna sit back and watch two of the most talented guys in the sport do their thing, while being thankful Aldo is not kicking me in the leg and Edgar is not slamming me on my head.
Andy Ogle: Aldo wins by unanimous decision. Frankie wont give up and may be a burden for Aldo to deal with, but I see Aldo figuring him out and getting the majority of the rounds.
Brian Foster: Lets start by saying this is one hell of a fight. Jose has shown an amazing skillset since before his UFC days when he was in the now-defunct WEC. This kid can handle anything in this sport. He has the ability to knock you out from any position, and this fight has fast-pace, eventual-one-punch-knockout written all over it. Can Frankie ride his bike and pop shot his way to a victory or will he fall victim to the divisions most dangerous man? All I can say is this is a fight for the ages, and you would be crazy to miss it.
Spencer Fisher: Im not sure about this fight; its a tough one to call. They both have their own special skillsets, but I think the difference in the past between Joses opponents and Frankie is that Frankie has good footwork and you dont know which direction hes coming from. He can also dish out as much as he takes. On the flipside, Jose is the most well rounded striker in the 145-pound division and has fantastic takedown defense. I would give the edge to Frankie. He always figures out a way to win.
Jason High: Hard for me to pick against either of these guys, but I think of all the people Aldo has fought, Frankie is the most complete. The only thing Im concerned about is Frankie adjusting to the speed difference between weight classes.
Danillo Villefort: I believe Frankie will not have enough power to handle Aldo. I believe Aldo will win by TKO.
J.J. Ambrose: Edgar is the man. Hes one of the best come-from-behind fighters in the sport. His heart and speed enabled him to overcome much bigger fighters, winning him the title along the way. That being said, Aldo is Anderson Silva at featherweight. His precise striking and speed see him walk through most guys in the early rounds. I see Aldo winning via decision due to Edgars chin and unbreakable spirit not allowing him to be TKOd.
Ricardo Liborio: Toughest matchup for Aldo so far, but leg kicks can really complicate things for Edgar. Aldo wins by decision.
Benji Radach: Fun fight, but I gotta say Jose should be taking this one. The kid is pretty solid and has lots to bring to the table.
Mike Ciesnolevicz: Edgar is a great fighter and athlete. In my opinion, he should probably still be the UFC 155-pound champ. The fights with Benson Henderson were tossups, and I think Frankie did enough to win those. The problem now is how do I pick against Aldo? He has won 11 straight fights in the WEC and UFC, with devastating wins over similar-style opponents to Edgar, like Chad Mendes, Urijah Faber and Mike Thomas Brown. I think Edgar will put up a spirited effort as always but will fall short to the explosiveness and well-rounded style of Aldo. Aldo wins by TKO in round two.
Tom DeBlass: Edgar takes it. His relentless pressure and movement will wear down Aldo, as Frankie takes the unanimous decision.
Tom Lawlor: Edgar wins. His footwork will be too much en route to a five-round decision.
Jacob Volkmann: Im rooting for Edgar.
Ed Herman: Im expecting a great fight. If Aldo gets his kicks and takedown defense, its going to be a third-round TKO for him. If Edgar uses his wrestling to control the fight, it will be a decision for Edgar.
Johny Hendricks: I like Frankie in this one. I think he has the speed and the strength to compete with Aldo and has great wrestling and punching off his takedowns, as well.
John Gunderson: What a great matchup. As long as Aldo does not gas on Frankie, he should be able to bust him up real bad and defend his belt.
Mac Danzig: I believe the ouroboric snake will swallow its tail in this one.
Robert Drysdale: Aldo wins.
Kyle Kingsbury: Frankie wins by outlasting, outpacing and outwrestling Aldo.
Eric Prindle: I like Frankie and Jose. I have all the respect in the world for them both, and they are phenomenal martial artists. I think Aldo will win, and leg kicks will be a factor.
Nan Phan: I gotta go with Frankie. Hes the man.
Cung Le: Edgar wins.
Travis Wiuff: Im taking Edgar by close decision in a potential Fight of the Year.
Travis Lutter: I think Jose will win this one. His current unbeaten streak is a year longer then Andersons. I think Jose will utilize Thai kicks, and that will be the deciding factor in it.
Mark Bocek: Aldo wins by decision.
Zach Makoovsky: This is the upcoming fight I am most looking forward to. Aldo is one of the most talented guys out there, and I think this is a very difficult fight for Frankie. He has to be completely aware and not lose focus for 25 minutes. That said, I think Frankie survives some early scares and uses his pace and nonstop movement to frustrate Aldo and become a two-division champ.
Caros Fodor: Gonna go with Edgar in this one. Even though Aldo is extremely dangerous, Edgar is very durable and has the ability to put Aldo on his back. Also, cardio is one of Edgars best attributes, and it seems to come and go with Aldo. I got Edgar winning by decision.
Jason Dent: I believe Aldo will win this fight. He is just so accurate and deadly with his knees, elbows and low kicks. Frankie will have the wrestling advantage, but Aldo is a finisher. Aldo wins by TKO by or before the end of round four.
Brock Jardine: People might think Im crazy, but Im going with Frankie on this one. Why? Im going with him because of his wrestling and heart. Also, if I didnt pick him, my teammate, Rad Martinez, would be very upset, as they were college teammates. It will be a brutal 25 minutes, but, in the end, Frankie will win a close decision. I predict a 48-47 unanimous decision.
Dave Jansen: I got Edgar. Frankies wrestling abilities, his speed and the fact that hes finally fighting at his natural weight should give him the edge.

|Tolkien Gateway is 10 years old. Sign up today to edit TG and help us grow for years to come.
- "Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendor."
- ― "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor"
Arien (Q, pron. [ˈari.en]) was a Maia who guided the Sun.
Arien was chosen by the Valar to guide the vessel of the Sun. In the days of the Two Trees of Valinor, Arien had been the one to tend the tree called Laurelin. It is said that she was mightier than Tilion, the Maia chosen to guide the Moon, because she was a spirit of fire, and able to withstand the heat of Laurelin.
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In earlier writings by Tolkien, Tilion is said to have been in love with Arien, and because he sought her out the Moon was scarred.
In other writings, Morgoth wanted to claim Arien as a wife, and ravished her, upon which she abandoned her body and "died", leaving the Sun to travel through the skies uncontrollably and burning parts of Arda the world. As well, it is stated in other abandoned writings that she was a Maia of Varda. It is not clear if it was Tolkien's intent to keep these elements in The Silmarillion tradition, had he lived long enough to publish it.
Arien means "Maiden of Sunlight" in Quenya, from árë "sunlight" and -ien feminine suffix.
Since Arien is connected to the "daisy" (corruption of day's eye), it is possible that the name comes from árë + hen "eye"

Just like that, Congress took a walk this week. The House adjourned on Friday and the Senate took off this morning. They apparently needed a vacation. You know, since they've been working so hard for all of two weeks. Yep, just two weeks after they came back from a five week summer vacation, they've taken another vacation (oops, I meant "recess") – this one until mid-November. It seems that months of doing absolutely nothing makes a legislator tired.
Or maybe, if they were honest, they'd admit that they just don't want to do anything before the election.
But let's think about all they got accomplished before they went on vacation.
Give me a minute.
Give me another minute.
Nope, can't think of anything.
Those expiring tax cuts? Nothing.
The farm bill? Nada.
Jobs act? Still sitting.
Deficit management? Er, no.
AMT (alternative minimum tax) reform? Crickets.
To be clear, Congress plans to do more of what's it's been doing (nothing) for the next two months. It's a far cry from 2000 when the 106th Congress took a mere nine day break around the election and it marks one of the earliest recessions for Congress in more than fifty years. Good thing there's nothing that needs attention just now, huh?

Baby Jogger City Select Single in Ruby Bundle(Carseat Adapter, Raincover, 2nd Seat, and Parent Console)
The City Select stroller by Baby Jogger is one of a kind! It's a multi-functional stroller that allows parents to mix and match seats, bassinets, and infant seats to customize their stroller.
The Baby Jogger City Select is sold as a single seat stroller, and it expands to what your family needs -- you can add the optional bassinet, infant seat mount(s), or second seat. The City Select can accommodate nearly any combination of bassinet, seat(s), or infant seat(s).
Of particular importance to encourage bonding with baby, one or both seats on the City Select can face the parent -- or older babies and toddlers may enjoy the forward-facing view.
The City Select stroller comes with Baby Jogger's famous Quick-Fold technology and it folds flat in a single step.
Everything about the City Select is designed around versatility -- whether you're using the bassinet, adapter, or seat; each one of them easily clicks on and off in seconds.
Also for parents' convenience, the City Select stroller's storage basket is very large, for carrying a diaper bag and all other essentials that two children would require.
On the Baby Jogger City Select, the seat recline range depends upon how the two seats are positioned. With only one seat on the stroller, it has a full recline in forward and reverse positions. For two seats, when both seats face forward, there is a very limited recline range. When the two seats face the parent (i.e., in reverse position), they can individually or both be fully reclined. When the seats face each other, they can both be fully reclined.
The overall push and handling of the Baby Jogger City Select is better than any other tandem (front/back seating) stroller we've evaluated.
Patented Quick-Fold technology
Multi-position seat reclines
Telescoping adjustable handlebar for short to tall parents
Huge underseat storage basket
Adjustable 5-point safety harness with shoulder pads and padded buckle cover
Front wheel suspension
8" lightweight front quick-release wheels with sealed ball bearings
12" forever-air rear tires feel like air-filled, but never go flat
Rear parking brake
Includes accessory mounting bracket

"I'm as corny as Kansas in August ..." Nellie Forbush in South Pacific, lyrics by O. Hammerstein
Well, it's not quite August, and this plant is not exactly corn. But it's close.
This is a grass that you can see basically anywhere in the eastern USA, from Florida and Texas well into the upper Midwest, southern New England, and way down into South America. It's actually rather distinctive, I think, even as you are driving along the highway (pay attention to the speed limit, please).
The plants come up in big clumps, from rhizomes. The stems this time of year are tall and arching, often leaning over, sometimes up to nearly 9 feet tall. The leaves are dark green, and like many grass species, a bit scratchy. At this time of year, the plants are blooming, in their grasslike way.
All of the flowers produced by this plant are either male or staminate flowers (producing pollen), or female or pistillate flowers (producing ovules, from whence come the seeds, eventually). The flowers are always separated, but both can be found on the same individual (we botanists say that such plants are "monoecious").
In the case of our Mystery Plant, the stems will develop one to three terminal, stout spikes. Each spike will have pistillate flowers down below, and then a series of staminate flowers above them.
If you look at these things closely, you will notice that all the flowers, whether pistillate or staminate, are deeply embedded within the tissue of the spike itself. The female flowers exhibit purplish or whitish, feathery stigmas to receive the pollen.
Staminate flowers have their prominent orange anthers hanging out, connected by delicate, threadlike filaments. After shedding their pollen, the staminate flowers dry up and get sort of scrunchy, and eventually fall off the spike.
The pistillate flowers down below end up in a strung-out, beadlike arrangement, and they, too, during the autumn, will eventually all fall away from each other. Each pistillate flower is capable of producing a single grain. The fruiting grain, once falling away from the spike, is a bit odd, looking like a hard little kernel of corn, and a bit trash-can shaped.
This plant is related to what Americans generally know as "corn," that stuff that grows in the fields, which produces thick "ears" (specialized spikes of female flowers) as well as tassels above (where the pollen comes from). Genetically, it is similar to cultivated corn, and there is considerable evidence that it hybridized with a different Mexican species, long ago, to form the plant that we now call corn, or Zea mays. Of course, our friends in Britain like to use the word "maize" for what we call "corn." Indeed, the English word "corn" has been used for a very long time, and in Britain, often refers to just about any kind of grass crop that produces grains.
