What is with this game and the axe grinding taking place over here? lol I've seen this over and over and over. I'm not saying it's bad or good or anything I was just wondering why?

Current players of the game are tired of a few bad apples here going out of the way to bash a game some people still happen to enjoy. Theres one thing about trying a game and not liking it, but these guys are just malicious.
Recently a new marketing plan has been released and these guys are afraid new players might actually come over and try it.
They are scared because they have personal vendettas against the games developers which is clearly evident by their ongoing posts.

Wait, that's the marketing plan? To come here on new accounts and spread the good word of WWIIOL while damning the heretics? Didn't you guys already try that?
Why not get someone talented to create a new trailer showcasing what this game has to offer and have the fans spread awareness on sites like Reddit? Heck, I once saw a thread showing how awesome the armor penetration was and people loved it... well, until they saw the (then)prices LOL.
I dunno. Seems like wasted effort to come here and combat the haters yet again.

There is a new trailer being made atm :) I'm really looking forward to it.
And the advertisement is done under the assumption that people will just click on it and get linked to the website with information about the game.

I' log in to the site every now and then.
Im here on my own accord, can't speak for the others.
I don't feel it's a waste of time, I find it rather conducive for the cause
Thanks for the concern though

I've read a few times already that there is nothing to be gained here by opposing the hate and I call BS on that. If that were true then why would there be so much over-bashing of the game going on in here. The way I see it, this place looks like the front lines.

Well, I'm not saying getting people to play the game is a wasted effort. I'm just saying getting people from here to play is a wasted effort. Like I said before - you guys have already tried this once before and it didn't work. I mean look at who your audience is.. it's ex players who have little to no intentions of returning. And if there are potential lurkers they're probably going to think you're salesmen (fresh accounts, little posting history, overly gleaming posts, etc).
Also I'm not much of a hater. I only quit playing because the playerbase dropped into the double digits when I played. Just seemed like a waste of money to me.
But hey glad to see they do have a new trailer coming. I just hope they take inspiration from this trailer. That one rocks and it's what I always show when recommending WWIIOL to people. But as you can see it's quite dated these days.

How can you say it's a wasted effort and remain honest with yourself? I mean how do you really know that no one on this site will sub? With respect to your opinion,The fact is, you dont :) You really think the only people on this site are ex and disgruntled players ? I really doubt that ,and as far as a post count and all that goes, It really doesn't matter how many posts you have if your message is true..I have a low post count on the ww2ol forums too and I've been here on this site since 2011 so I didn't come here JUST to defend the game, I was here a little before that.
.And let's face it, the message, up till now, has been pretty one-sided with alot of emotional posting and misrepresentation of fact to an audience of disgruntled players shouting OFF WITH THIER HEADS! Comon man are you really going to defend that? If the answer is"Yes" , well, what more can I say mate :) I personally think you are WAAAY smarter than that.
To your point about us looking like salesman, I look at it this way,Every one of us who plays an MMOG is a salesman IF you love your game no matter what game you play, in the sense that you need to keep plugging the game you love if you want to keep playing it whether you play wow, planetside,ww2ol, or whatever.
Trust me when I say I really MISS how the game used to be! I really do ! The population, some of the rules that were changed, ect, ect. But it's 2013 and I have to roll with the times and deal with it, and the game I love to play still is the most thrilling game I've ever played hand's down.
I really wish you were in Charlieville last night when we had allied forces moving in on us from every direction, dont know the numbers, dont care, but what a thrilling good time with PLENTY of action to be had by all on both sides! I could go on but to keep this post from becomming an AAR, i'll stop there:) But my point is this game is still fun and I really hope you and others here give it another chance, and that's why most of us are here.
Thanks for getting back to my post mate!

Darn you evil Axis Swine :P
We'll retake Charleville yet! Just have to figure out how to get people across those bridges... floating pontoon of sherman tanks?

I know this because I can look at the history, unfortunately. Yeah, I'm a broken record but the game is still in the same condition as it was when you last tried recruiting people here. Do you remember that? When XOOM started a kickstarter-like project in hopes of raising $3000 for advertising in the MMORPG newsletter?
Yeah, I suppose you might encourage some people to subscribe. But that isn't going to be enough to change things. Which you might say job well done for recruiting those few.. but if that were true you would be a regular poster here on the forums. But you're not. The truth is you're just here because of the Hero Program.. which, like I said, you would be better off on sites with an active community. This forum, as you can see, is quite dead except for the ex players.
Yeah, I hear you on that. But once you leave in a week or two it's going to go back to the way it was, sadly.
So let me reiterate my point: I'm not trying to discourage people from having proper discussions about the game. I just think if your goal is to help bring in sales you'd have a better chance somewhere else where the community is active.

That's like saying we can't go to a Bar because we won't fit in, when actually, its a free bar and all are welcome?
Im not looking for "Success" im looking for a fair hearing instead of the Bar occupents spewing biased rubbish about the game.

I do see what you are saying and respect that. Just like you say you aren't here to discourage anyone from playing the game, I on the other hand am not here for any hero drive or anything but sticking up for the game I love and That's my ONLY mo. I really hope you understand this about me. I am trying like hell to change some minds here, and why? like i've said many times before, I truly love this game and don't want to see it go to hell when I know for a fact it's worth playing and fighting for/defending.
I have never felt lied to by devs, I have no contact with devs for that matter. The only thing they see from me is cash at the end of the month. the only special entitlement I have is what my sub entitles me to, and that's gameplay.
some players jump into the forums, spill thier guts out on a post in the form of an Idea about what they'd like to see happen with the game, they set themselves up to fail when the devs shoot thier"Brilliant" ideas down and they feel insulted and unsub. To me, that whole situation could've been easily avoided by just playing and having fun, state you're opinion, keep expectations realistic, and just go about life...sound's easy to me, but so many have fallen into that trap.
Anyway, as a player, I do feel it's my part to comment here ,in hopes of getting more to play WITH me...I think you understand this, and if you were in my place, might even do the same thing. is this unreasonable of me?
Edit: I will look forward to your post ,I have to go right now though, I only have an hour to play before I have to log again, so it's off to play the game for me:) !S

Not Axe/axes as in the tool/weapon, with a haft and a heavy blade on the end meant to chop and slash using weight and a cleaving action.
So much crap, so little quality.

University of Georgia graduate Patrick Cunniff joined the Bulldog staff in August 2012. He is guiding UGA's distance program, coaching the cross country competitors in the fall and the rest of Georgia's distance runners during the indoor and outdoor seasons.
In 2013, Cunniff was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) South Region Men's Coach of the Year as the Georgia men made their school record third consecutive trip to the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Bulldogs assured their spot in Terre Haute, Ind., by winning their first NCAA South Regional championship since 2003 with a one-point victory over the Florida Gators.
Cunniff wasted little time making his presence known across the Southeastern Conference and then the nation during the 2012 cross country season. The Bulldog men matched their best finish in history at the SEC Championships (second). Then, the squad automatically qualified for its second consecutive invite to the NCAA Championships thanks to a runner-up finish at the NCAA South Regionals. Georgia wrapped up its season by taking 19th at Nationals, marking the best finish in school history.
The Lady Bulldogs surged to their first trip to the NCAA meet since 2007 during Cunniff's first year at the helm in 2012. The Georgia women answered the challenge at the South Regionals with a third-place finish, the team's best showing in five years, to grab an at-large bid to Nationals. This marked the first time that both the Georgia men and women had advanced to the NCAA Championships during the same season since 2004 and only the second time in history.
Cunniff concluded his first two cross seasons with 14 All-Region performers, including a school record eight in 2012, to go along with six runners on one of the All-SEC squads. Luke Baker wrapped up his conference career in 2013 with a fourth-place finish.
The 2014 track season for the Bulldog distance corps saw another series of impressive performances. In addition to Brandon Lord locking down the SEC 10,000 meters crown, Cunniff had middle distance runners score at both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meets where Georgia returned to Athens with a trio of top-10 team finishes. Carly Hamilton earned her second straight First Team All-America certificate by taking fifth in the mile indoors. Outdoors, Megan Malasarte closed out her career by surging for a fourth-place finish in the 800 meters to make her a two-time First Team All-American in the event.
In his first track season with the Bulldogs, Cunniff led Hamilton to the 2013 SEC outdoor crown in the 1500 meters and a First Team All-America certificate in the mile following her fourth-place finish. The Bulldog men and women completed their 2013 track seasons with a combined three NCAA top-20 team finishes for the first time since 2005.
During Cunniff's two seasons with the Bulldog track team, his runners established 43 improvements to Georgia's all-time top-10 lists in the various distance events, including an astounding eight school records.
Georgia's immense success in the classroom has also coincided with Cunniff's return to Athens. The Bulldog men were named the USTFCCCA National Scholar Team of the Year for the 2014 outdoor season thanks in large part to the contributions from Cunniff's distance crew. Brandon Lord complemented his SEC title with the SEC Scholar Athlete Award for outdoor track and Academic All-America Third Team honors while both cross country teams garnered 2014 All-Academic Team honors. Additionally, Luke Baker and Megan Malasarte were named to the 2014 SEC Community Service Teams.
A native of North Kingstown, R.I., Cunniff came to UGA after serving five years as Long Beach State's cross country and assistant track coach from 2007-12. His distance runners highlighted Cunniff's final season with the 49ers by winning a conference individual championship in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track. Each one of these titles came with a school record performance at the respective conference meets.
In addition to helping lead Long Beach to 2008 and 2011 Big West Conference men's outdoor team championships, Cunniff put together an impressive resume with the 49ers. He watched his distance runners set school records 25 times, coached seven student-athletes to the NCAA Preliminary Round and led five to qualify for the NCAA Regionals. In the classroom, his runners earned CoSIDA All-Academic team honors from 2007-11.
Cunniff guided Matt Maldonado to an Olympic Trials "A" Standard time of 3:37.68 in the 1500 meters and 3:59.08 in the mile to qualify for NCAA indoors, which marked the first sub-4:00 mile in school history. Maldonado went on to advance to the semifinals of the Trials. Another individual, Kip Kangogo, recorded two wins and a runner-up finish at the Canadian Nationals after being instructed by Cunniff.
Cunniff also was responsible for administrative duties including all aspects of team travel for the 49ers. He also started the Pyramid 5k and assisted in numerous fundraising and community outreach events for Long Beach.
Getting his collegiate coaching start in the state of Texas, Cunniff spend two years coaching at Texas Christian University (2004-06). Similar to his years at Long Beach, his resume was quickly filled with numerous accolades. Cunniff coached seven NCAA Division I Championship qualifiers (three cross country, one indoor track, three outdoor track), guided his team members to 12 individual conference championships and coached student-athletes who set school records four times.
Cunniff directed the Horned Frogs to a runner-up finish at the 2004 Conference USA Championships and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA South Central Regional, highlighted by having the individual champion on the women's side. He also assisted in coaching Jackson Langat to the 2006 NCAA indoor 800 crown. His cross country teams maintained a GPA over 3.0 during his tenure in Fort Worth.
His first coaching stop came at the University of Texas as a volunteer assistant. During his time in Austin, Cunniff worked to help the Longhorns win the 2003 and 2004 Big XII Outdoor Championships as well as the 2003 South Central Regionals in cross country. Also in 2003, the Texas track team registered a second-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
On the Texas distance side, Cunniff, who has a USATF Level I Certification, coached Brian Rue to a personal-best 1:47.21 in the 800 and qualification to the 2004 Olympic Trials. His cross country team also maintained a GPA over 3.0.
Transferring to Georgia from UNC-Charlotte, Cunniff competed for the Bulldogs from the 1988 cross country season to the 1991 track and field season. He became a regular contributor for Georgia's cross country team and made his way into the school's all-time top-10 list in the 10,000. Cunniff graduated in June 1991 with a Bachelor's degree in Political Science.
Cunniff and his wife, Katie, have a daughter named Casidy who was born in June 2011.

Thursday, July 8, 2010
The rattle of cars across the cobblestones below floats through the windows on the breeze like the distant roar of ocean waves. The shade washes over me, soothing, cooling, the shutters pulled closed against the searing heat. Voices on the street mingle with the distant laughter of teens now out of school and summertime is finally upon us. Summer sneaks up on us in Nantes, plays tag with our emotions, one day cool one day blazing, rain hot on the heels of blue skies filled with lazy white clouds. Today the sun beckons, luring us out for a stroll, whetting our thirst for an ice cream, a refreshing tuna tartare, inviting us to pull up a chair at any one of the innumerable sidewalk terraces and order up one of the bright red, green or golden brews and lose ourselves in the surrounding holiday chatter.
The heat of a Florida summer always came early, riding in on a burning wind and settling down to stay. From winter chill to hot and humid seemingly overnight, the relentless summer sun gave us no escape whether in or out of the shade, no respite save for the flash thunderstorms every afternoon at 4 sharp. April, May, June, we braced ourselves for the long wait until the end of the school day, end of the school year, patiently listening for the alarm to sound three as we fidgeted at our desks, trying to concentrate as the temperature rose with the sun, and finally bursting out of our seats, through the doors and grabbing our bikes for that last ride home on that final day of the school year. Summer afternoons were spent playing ball in the street, gossiping with girlfriends as we circled and circled the block for hours. Barefoot on the steaming pavement, games of hopscotch or tossing basketballs through hoops could amuse us for hours. Occasionally one or the other of us would dash into the house for a glass of chilled Kool-aid or a popsicle from the freezer, our only arm against the blistering heat. These days, I only taste the heat of a Florida summer for a mere three or four weeks on those rare occasions when I can fly back home, and all of those tiny pleasures flood through my mind and rush back up to the surface. I walk out of the airport into the unrelenting heat and I am already craving a popsicle, cherry please, a dish of ice cream or a cold glass of juice.
I vaguely remember a 4th of July here or there, dad taking us out to Wickham Park where we could pay ball or jump into the lake while waiting to eat. Or tossing hamburgers on the grill set up on the driveway in front of the house, loading down our plates with store-bought cole slaw and potato salad. Or up in Albany at cousin Sandra's tasting my first clams, chewy and strange but so intriguing, all the better for being dipped in hot, salty melted butter. Then chocolate popsicles in the yard, playing hard with a houseful of cousins waiting for the night to fall. Lighting sparklers wherever we were, fascinated by the dancing flame, silvery and bright, biting our skin, our cheeks, even better than the sky full of fireworks. Or standing on the lawn while dad, and later Andrew, shot off Roman candles, missiles, spinners and parachutes down at the end of the driveway to the delight of us (and later our) kids as we swatted away Florida's inevitable mosquitoes. Watermelon, always icy cold watermelon, all summer long, bought at one of those ramshackle wooden stands lining the highway and set up in every gas station parking lot then shoved into the refrigerator to chill. Huge Florida watermelons sliced open with the biggest knife, the slices plopped onto paper plates to eat outside, their weight too much for the flimsy cardboard, each rosy slice threatening to drop onto the ground before we could make it outside. And those spitting contests, who could spit the tiny black seeds the farthest? And would we find a tiny sprout of a plant pushing up through the dirt next spring?
The 4th of July slips by unnoticed now, relegated to the rare trip home to the States and my family, consigned to memories of my youth. The 14th of July, the French national holiday, goes much the same way. Caught between two worlds, neither makes much sense to me. Two nationalities, two religions, sons a bundle of cultures, we often feel no allegiance at all, or too many. We've created our own little nation between the four of us, our own homeland, or none at all. Nomads, we have never felt an attachment so strong that we would not hesitate to pick up and wander off to a new land to discover a new world, add one more culture to our closet. So all those holidays, the Independence Days and Thanksgivings, the Christmases and Hanukkahs that come and go, Valentine's Day, Halloween, as we watch our friends prepare and celebrate with food and good cheer, we snuggle up on the sofa in front of a good movie and dinner for two or four or take a picnic lunch and the dog for a romp in the vineyards, we cook together or pop open the oysters, we clink glasses of chilled white wine and give a hearty hurrah to us and everything we have. We celebrate our life and our time together, as strange and a tad selfish as it may sound.
Far from family and friends, there is no joy in the backyard barbecue, no sparklers, no parades. We create our own holidays and eventful celebrations just as we please. Each vacation spent with family, whether special occasion or not, each get together with far-away friends is a cause for festivities. The feast is spread, the champagne popped, no need for this date or that to enjoy what we have and give thanks. It's all there, right in front of our eyes.
Cherries are out in full force, deep ruby red, plump and luscious. Rhubarb has hung around the marketplace long enough to woo the lovely cherry sitting coyly over at the other end and together they make a blissful, tempting, bewitching pair. What is summer without this match made in heaven? Rhubarb's tangy intensity tamed by Cherry's sweet perfume, cooked to tender perfection under a delicate cloud of dough. I made Dorie Greenspan's Cherry Rhubarb Cobbler (with only slight changes) because I couldn't help myself, because it was just what summer called for!
From Dorie Greenspan's Baking From My Home to Yours
For the filling:
1 pound red cherries, pitted and halved
12 ounces (3 – 4 fat stalks) rhubarb, trimmed, peeled and cut into ½-inch slices
1/3 cup sugar
1 Tbs cornstarch
1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the cobbler dough:
¾ cup flour
¾ cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbs packed light brown sugar
2 tsps baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground cinnamon
6 Tbs (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup whole milk (I had none so used half heavy cream and half low fat milk)
1 – 2 Tbs cinnamon sugar for sprinkling over the dough, optional
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter an 8-inch square baking dish.
Prepare the filling:
Mix the prepared cherries and rhubarb together in a large bowl. Sift the cornstarch over the sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine. Sprinkle over the fruit and toss until the dry ingredients are evenly coating the fruit. Toss the fruit often while you prepare the cobbler dough.
Prepare the cobbler dough:
Put both flours, the brown sugar, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl (Dorie uses a food processor). Stir or whisk to blend. Add the cubes of butter and, using only your fingertips, quickly rub the butter into the dry ingredients until incorporated and the mixture resembles coarse meal or wet sand. Working very quickly, add the milk and stir with a spoon or fork until well incorporated and you have a smooth, thick batter (Dorie makes a dough but mine made a thick batter which worked perfectly). The dough should be light and fluffy, so don't overwork.
Pour the prepared fruit into the buttered baking dish. Using a tablespoon, place equal-sized heaping tablespoons of dough in rows on top of the fruit – I got 4 rows of 4 balls of dough. If you like, sprinkle large pinches of cinnamon sugar over the dough.
Bake for 35 – 45 minutes until the cobbler dough is puffed up and golden and baked through. The fruit should have created a thick juice which will be bubbling up around the puffs of dough when it is done.
Remove from the oven and serve hot, at room temperature or even chilled. With ice cream or whipped cream, of course.
This recipe is slightly different than my Cobbler recipe I usually use (which I will be making shortly – and posting for a comparison) and although Dorie's Cobbler was delicious, I found the dough was a bit too imposing, not allowing for the full fruit flavor to shine through which, after all, is the purpose of a fruit cobbler! I suggest using all white flour if you prefer a more neutral-tasting biscuit topping.

We don't have as many holiday as the Americans, although lately days like halloween or even thanksgiving seem to slowly creep into our culture too. I just never think it is authentic if we merely copy holidays from other countries, but then I don't really mind either.
Now I finally know what a cobbler is. Having heard about it many times I'd never seen one in 'real life' and it sure looks good! Perfect for using up leftover fruits (as I tend to buy far too many at this time of year!)

Nice napkins :) LOL!
I am a great celebrator, my husband not so much, so there is a constant struggle going on in our house between celebrating and not celebrating. It is true, though, that when you move away from your native country, you have to think up new ways (and sometimes new dates) to celebrate.
I made a cobbler recipe the other day but with a really sloppy, clafoutis-esque batter, rather than a dough. I was qute surprised, but the end result was still delicious!

Rhubarb and cherries pair wonderfully. So far, I've used this combination in clafoutis; strudel; bakewell tart; pavlova... Can't wait to try it in a cobbler now!!
Thanks Jamie!

My best memories of holidays are centered on family life and when my children were young. Now that they are young adults they would more often prefer to spend many of those days with their friends and I don't blame them...I would rather be water skiing too!
I used to love to have other families over for a barbecue and then we would haul the kids to a great spot for watching fireworks but even that tradition has lost it's thrill for me...my poor dogs suffer so much with all of the noise that I prefer hanging at home and making sure they're comforted. A daylong drizzle saw a change in lots of plans this past week...and I was fine with that!
It is an interesting commentary though how so thoroughly food is intertwined with holiday celebrations so I'll always have a need for some celebratory moments whether it's 'having' to grill on July 4th or make a turkey on Thanksgiving. Some of those traditions must continue for me since I enjoy them whether I'm alone or surrounded with family and/or friends!
So I cooked a pie for July 4th and it had to be cherries! They have been especially abundant this year and after FINALLY purchasing a cherry pitter, something that I will use more often. Your dish looks fabulous and thinking I now must have that last piece of pie for breakfast!

What a unique combination. I've been in love with both of these fruits for years, but never thought to put them together- and in a cobbler! It looks wonderful for a summer's evening, with or without sparklers :)

What cool summer desert! I've got to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of rhubarb, but I would definitely want to try this. It looks pretty irritable with that ice cream on it.
Have a great weekend.

You know my obsession with stone fruit Jamie, and then you post another I want to try. Almost getting to the end of the season here, but cobbler is on my list! This looks lovely. I'm like Simone ... constantly buying up fruit & then wondering where to use them! Waiting for the next cobbler recipe sistah!

I enjoyed reading your take on holidays and their importance in the life of your family. It helps us know you better. As to the cobbler, I know it's a DG recipe and I'm only a peon, but I think the "cobbles" are way too thick and detract from the lovey fruit mixture beneath. Just sayin'. I can't wait to see your version. Take care. Blessings...Mary

@Mary: Thanks for that. We also felt that the "cobbles" were to heavy for the fruit. It totally overpowered it. My recipe will be up soon. As soon as someone finishes this one.

Cobber, yum! I have some rhubarb, perfect for this dish.

Two things I've yet to do: bake a cobbler or taste rhubarb. I usually make 'crisps' - I find the crumbs over top irresistible. But I'm convinced I need to make a cobbler - for a change. I owe it all to you and your scrumptious treat of a cobbler!

Dear Colleagues:
The CapacityPlus Project (http://www.capacityplus.org), which is focused on addressing the global health workforce crisis, has launched a Promising Practices series that aims to identify a set of interventions with potential for replication/scale-up around a selected topic each year. This year, we are looking at interventions to address gender discrimination related to sexual harassment, pregnancy, and family responsibilities on health worker pre-service education (for both students and faculty), including on the quality of education that students receive; students' attrition rates; and faculty composition and careers.
We would be very interested to hear from you about resources, organizations, projects, or individuals that are working on this topic and/or may have additional suggestions. In particular, we are collecting both published and unpublished examples of interventions. While we would like to collect examples from the health sector, we would be happy to receive information on examples from the education and other sectors.
Please send any suggestions or information to Crystal Ng at email@example.com.
Many thanks!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Land of Israel is a special, sacred place for those who believe in the Bible. Like the ingathering of the Jewish people into the land of Israel, the restoration of the land itself is the unfolding of prophecy.
When Israel's restoration began, the land was largely barren. Today it is fully of lush green forests lovingly planted by the Jewish National Fund. There is still much work to do. What better way to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel than by planting a tree.
Partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land.
The Jewish National Fund (JNF) has supporters of Israel to thank for much of the reforestation of Israel that donations have made possible. Since 1901, the JNF has planted over 240 million trees in Eretz Israel.
Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael (the JNF) is offering a tree planting experience to adults and children at two planting centers: in the Lavi forest, near Tiberias in the Galilee; and in the Nachshon Forest, in the Judean Lowlands in central Israel. You will also receive an attractive tree planting certificate, and a copy of the special Planter's Prayer. The greatest joy of this experience is the feeling of taking one's place forever in history as part of the reconstruction of the Holy Land.
"And when you come into the land, and plant all kinds of trees …" (Leviticus 19:23)
As always, readers outside of Israel are also able to participate in the restoration of the Land of Israel by planting a tree. You can partner with the JNF to complete the reforestation of the Promised Land. Click here *AND all this summer, Israel Today will match your donation - let us green Israel together!

Arizona Wildcats
Matt Scott, Arizona seniors prepare for last 'Duel in the Desert' bout
This story is courtesy of the Arizona Daily Wildcat
Kyle Quinn has been at the UA for five years. Coming into his fourth "Duel in the Desert", Quinn knows what to expect. He has experienced the fervor that accompanies an Arizona-ASU battle for the Territorial Cup.
"There's electricity in the air," said Quinn, Arizona's starting center.
To prepare for "duels," Quinn would watch highlight tapes of past years' games "to see the great things that have happened in this rivalry," which he considers one the best in college football.
This year marked Matt Scott's first full season as the starting quarterback, but he's already made two appearances against the Sun Devils as a backup behind former Wildcat Nick Foles, in 2009 and 2010. He completed 2-of-2 passes for four yards and ran seven times for 39 yards in the two games.
"I can't even explain how I feel about these guys," said Scott, a fifth-year senior. "Obviously we don't like them, they don't like us. It's a big rivalry game."
For Quinn, Scott and 17 other seniors, this will be their last �duel'.
For head coach Rich Rodriguez, it's his first. On Thursday, it will be a year since Rodriguez was introduced at McKale Center as Arizona's new head honcho.
Rodriguez said he doesn't remember if he watched last year's game, where a two-win Arizona squad upset ASU, a team in pursuit of the top spot in the Pac-12 South.
He didn't have to.
"I don't think it's a revelation to say, 'boy this is a big game,'" Rodriguez said. "It's a rivalry game. It's a huge game, it always will be."
At West Virginia, both as a coach and player, Rodriguez had the "Backyard Brawl" with rival Pittsburgh.
He coached at Michigan for three seasons and was at the helm for three losses to Ohio State. In one of the most heated rivalries in sports, with some of the most fanatic fans in the country, that didn't exactly cut it in Ann Arbor.
Rodriguez knows what he has to do to appease his fans, as if winning seven games and clinching a bowl berth wasn't enough.
"I know a lot of people say �If you're gonna win one game, make sure it's the ASU game,'" Rodriguez said. "'Then we'll be happy.' I don't think you will be, but I think it'll at least make them less angry if that's the one game you win."
But, as the Wildcats celebrate this year's seniors in their last game at Arizona Stadium, Rodriguez wants to give them a proper send-off, because that's what he promised when he spoke with them for the first time.
"He just told us �Guys, its your team. It's the seniors' team,'" Quinn said. "He said �I may not have recruited you guys and it's your last year. I want you to have the best senior year possible. I may not have recruited you, but you're my guys.' We really bought into that and we bought into his philosophy, his mindset."
Now, the Wildcats sit at 7-4, with the possibility of getting two more against ASU and whatever bowl Arizona gets invited to.
Perspective: In eight years with Mike Stoops as head coach, Arizona won seven or more games just three times and made three bowl games.
Much of that success has come thanks to Ka'Deem Carey's rise to superstardom at running back � the sophomore leads the nation in rushing yards � but seniors have played an integral part.
Offensive lineman Quinn and Trace Biskin, receiver Dan Buckner and fullback/defensive lineman Taimi Tutogi, punter Kyle Dugandzic and even kicker John Bonano have all contributed.
"We've come a long way," Tutogi said. "We lost some games, some crucial games but a lot of people can see we fought our tails off. It's gonna be my last regular season game against ASU. Next time I see Wildcats and Sun Devils play, I'll probably be watching from my TV, or on the field and not in the helmet that has the �A' on it."
Scott, though, has been the headliner in Rodriguez's successful first season at the UA.
After losing his starting job to Nick Foles in 2009, and redshirting in 2011, Scott had one last chance to prove he belonged.
And he did. The 3,008 passing yards, 443 rushing yards and 26 total touchdowns can attest to that. Just imagine what he could have done with another year in Rodriguez's system.
"Matt's been a leader for this team ever since Coach [Rodriguez] came here," Quinn said. "We grew up together. We've both been here since we were 18, well he was 17, but we've just grown up together and we're ending our career on a positive note."

Friday, November 15, 2013
On their biggest stage in front of a record crowd, the Charleston Southern Buccaneers turned in their most impressive performance of the season to seize control in the Big South Conference on Saturday.
CSU rolled up 323 yards rushing and held on to beat No. 3 Coastal Carolina, 31-26 at Buccaneer Field. The win moved the Bucs to 10-1 overall and 3-1 in the Big South.
Coastal (9-1, 3-1) fell for the first time this season.
"We've put ourselves in position to control our destiny in the conference, which is huge," CSU Head Coach Jamey Chadwell said. "We also beat a team with prestige that will help us get an at-large bid if we don't qualify [for the playoffs].
"Our goal is to win out and be the Big South Conference champions."
The Buccaneers travel to Gardner-Webb on Saturday for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. The Runnin' Bulldogs are 5-5 overall and 0-3 in the conference. They are coming off a 27-9 loss to VMI.
The monumental turnaround of the CSU program under first-year head coach Jamey Chadwell continued as the Bucs moved into position to grab their first Big South title since 2005. They are within reach of the first playoff berth in school history.
CSU controlled the game from the opening snap and jumped to a 24-3 lead late in the second quarter. CSU held CCU, which came in averaging 47.7 points per game, to just six points in the opening half.
"To hold them to only six points in the first half was huge," Chadwell said. "We were able to put them in a position they aren't used to. They usually blow teams out in the second half. But we were able to put them on their heels to begin the second half today."
CSU got its typical workhorse effort from running back Christian Reyes. He had 117 yards on 24 caries and two touchdowns, while freshman Mike Holloway reeled off 79 yards on seven carries. Freshman quarterback Kyle Copeland added 79 yards and helped the Bucs drain the clock in the second half.
Former Goose Creek Gators standout Kevin Glears added three catches for 54 yards for the Bucs.
Quarterback Danny Croghan III was 14 of 21 for 166 yards and a 20-yard score to Colton Korn.
Coastal Carolina rallied to score three second-half touchdowns and cut he Bucs lead to five with 6:07 left to play, but the Buccaneers converted in the clutch to hold the ball over the final 6:07 to run out the clock.
Linebacker Calvin Bryant spearheaded the Bucs' defensive effort with six tackles. Defensive end Dylan Black added two tackles for loss and a sack.
CSU frustrated Coastal quarterback Alex Ross into 17 of 29 passing for 242 yards and a touchdown. Only 60 of those yards came in the first half as the Bucs built their lead.
Coastal running back D'Angelo Henderson, a Summerville High School product, had 86 yards on eight carries and a touchdown to lead the CCU running game. The Bucs' held Lorenzo Taliaferro – one of the nation's top rushing leaders – to 83 yards on 14 carries.
Needing to bleed time off the clock after Coastal's charge, the Buccaneers picked up three first downs on the ground in killing the clock.

Step 1: What You need...
2. Air Compressor
3. Assorted copper fittings
4. Air compressor hose
5. Pipe cutting tool
6. Pipe bending tool
7. Teflon tape
8. Hose clamps
Step 2: Build it...
First I bent a 6" piece of tybing to fit on the gun with the end right behind and next to the nozzle. Then I attached a valve to control the air flow. Followed by an elbow fitting and then the adpater that goes to a copper hose bib where I attatched the air compressor hose with a hose clamp. From there, another hose bib that goes to the pneumatic fitting that attaches to my air compressor.
Step 3: Hook it up...
Step 4: How to Use it...
NOTE: Wear gloves because the hot glue can get on your skin and burn you.
While slowly opening the air valve on the assembly begin to slowly squeeze a tiny amount of hot glue out. It should start to spray in a steady stream. Move your hand around to spray the glue and form your cobweb. You can adjust the flow of both the air and the glue for different results. You've just made your own spiderweb glue gun! The glue will come off pretty easy as you can roll it up in a ball and remove it from whatever it was sprayed on. Have fun, be safe and Happy Halloween!
Cool. I covered a poor little kiddie with this!
Female spiders are the main web creators, not the males.

Evans eager for Hendo, cites 'mental fog' for last loss - Mixed Martial Arts News
Rashad Evans has lost his last two professional bouts, the first losing streak of his career. Evans know well that in order to stay in the UFC, you have to win, and although Dan Henderson is a tough fight for anyone, Evans remains optimistic:
Im happy about this fight [against Henderson], Evans told ESPN.com. Having the chance to fight somebody like Dan is a big deal, especially after not having the performance I would have liked [against Nogueira].
Its good to get in there with somebody like Dan and answer a lot of critics and to show everybody that I am still one of the best guys in the weight class. I couldnt find my rhythm against Nogueira; I couldnt find my timing. It was just one of those things. It was like I was in a mental fog.

Exhibition Overview
Thomas H. Garver, Haverford College class of 1956 was contacted last June to solicit ideas as to how to structure an exhibition to acknowledge his support of the photography collection at Haverford over two decades. He replied that his gift should be thought of as an "Accidental Collection" because that is what it is. The hundreds of prints and related material that he has given signify that it is more than that. O. Winston Link, Charles Currier, vernacular photography and Bill Dane's real photographic postcard correspondence stand out because of their sheer numbers and affinity with each other. Garver wrote of Dane's postcard photographs:
One might imagine Dane as one photographer among many in a crowd, waiting for the momentary appearance of a "great personality," The figure appears–all cameras fire in unison–except Dane's, His reflexes appear to be curiously skewed. While all the other Photographers get the standard "shot," Dane gets the special, perhaps awkward, but very personal photograph, the photograph that turns our "personality" back into a person.
Dane's photographic postcard correspondence to Garver is a succinct summing up of this esthetic and the state of photography in the middle of the 20th century. The twenty-four postcards on exhibition are at once a meditation on the meaning of photographs, the technology of image transmission and a record of a correspondence between friends. The cards are displayed so that both sides can be seen. This allows the image and text to be experienced as Dane made them. Tom's description of his gift as "Accidents" is instructive and a rewarding way to look at and to appreciate the originality of Bill Dane's work.

After watching the Republican and Democratic conventions and being subjected on television and radio by political ads ad nauseam, I have come to the conclusion that the "democratic process" referred to in the August 30 Valley Reporter editorial is in serious trouble and probably beyond repair.
The vitriolic speeches, questionable statistics, half truths and downright lies on both sides are disgraceful. In the August 30 editorial, the editor states the "democratic process ... deserves better and we can do better." I am aware the editor is referring to the citizens who don't vote, but I put it to you that the voters deserve better from those who control the democratic process, in particular the members of Congress, many who are bought and paid for by special interests.
What is needed is a new democratic process or, as former Senator Bill Bradley says, "a new American story." In his book, The New American Story, Bradley emphasizes that this new story does not begin with government as it now stands but with us, i.e., the public. He points out further that the public must not accept lies without challenging those who spout these lies. When we fail to be informed, and by this I don't mean to accept willy-nilly whatever is stated by the politicians or written in the media, we are in essence allowing our country to be controlled by those whose goals are personal enrichment or worse.
One way to begin a new American story is with a third party so that we get more and hopefully better choices. Unfortunately, the few attempts at this did not work as witnessed by how many citizens did not vote for Ralph Nader in the 2008 election because they were convinced by both political parties that voting for Nader was a wasted vote, and by The Tea Party whose supporters could not agree among themselves.
But even if a third party comes to being, it could result in a "same old, same old" story unless our young people get involved. Whether they work within the current parties or start a new one, they must make their presence known. As Bradley points out, "We should inculcate the idea of citizen service in people while they are young." Acceptance of the role of citizen service should begin formally in high school, with a civic education and a commitment of time to public service. Young men and women must get involved in leadership roles in the political process. Above all, they must no longer accept the status quo. They must challenge every statement made and insist only on the truth.
I don't want my children and grandchildren to be stuck with the current political system. It is not working. So I will urge them as I urge all young people to change it now.

GROVE CITY, PA – The Hilbert College women's volleyball team dropped two non-conference games October 15 at a tri-match hosted by Grove City College.

In the afternoon match, Grove City's offensive success came down to their hitting percentage (.233) since both teams had the same number of attacks. Botsford led in both kills (7) and digs (13). Reischuck contributed 6 kills (9 digs) along with Rachel Kwiatkowski, 8 kills. Devan Jonathan led the Hawks with 4 services aces and Memminger again directed for 24 assists in the 25-16, 25-17, 25-22 games.

Friday, October 4, 2013
The merchants in the 700 block of Front Street will meet Monday afternoon to discuss the future of that portion of the Downtown area after the Sept. 25 fire.
In particular, the owners of the businesses that were not destroyed by the fire want to make sure they are able to stay in business.
"For those of us presently open, it's already painfully apparent that our businesses are and will continue to suffer greatly as a result of the recent fire," a flier announcing the meeting states.
Brian Tucker, president of the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce and Sam Hodge, director of Georgetown County Emergency Management will be speaking about the status of the 700 block and the plans for the future
"We can't afford to let the rest of the 700 block go dark," Tucker is quoted as saying.
Organizers are asking the business owners to bring a list of questions, concerns and suggestions to immediately stimulate traffic in the 700 block.
"It's impossible to sell anything to non-existent shoppers. Visitors and locals are still confused as to whether our end of the street is open for business due to the existing fencing and the continuing presence of emergency vehicles and personnel," the flier states. "We have lost many of the magnet businesses which formerly drew people to the 700 block. We need to figure out how we're going to replace those magnets so we have crowded sidewalks again on our end of Front Street; and also learn what the future holds regarding reconstruction, parking and other issues."
The meeting is at 5 p.m. Monday at The Coffee Break Café.

Thanks as always for your reply jabcat. I guess I just tend to look at things in the bible too "black and white" sometimes.
No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.I'm not sure if this verse relates directly to UR or not but it is one that I have struggled to understand recently. What exactly is John trying to say here? Everyone obviously keeps on sinning as long as we are here on this Earth as humans....is he referring to after we are reconciled beyond this life?

To The Editor:
As a longtime Waitsfield resident I have followed the discussion regarding a new town office closely. I have attended two of the special town meetings to discuss the various locations where a new town office should be placed. I have also attended several select board meetings where a major part of the time involved was spent on the subject.
It's my feeling that the vast majority of residents agree that we must have a new town office. A substantial amount of time was invested in the process. The town has won a grant of $750,000 for the Farm Stand location provided a bond issue is positively voted by the residents. It is highly unlikely that the town could receive this money for another location.
A small but highly vocal group of residents has proposed that the town buy the Methodist Church, relocate the present tenants and rebuild this building for our new town office. The hopes for the Methodist Church option are that (1) we can reapply for the $750,000 grant and receive it and (2) the costs of rebuilding the Methodist Church would be less than a new energy-efficient building. Neither of these expectations is realistic.
I strongly urge the Waitsfield residents to vote for the bond issue, which is scheduled for July 30. If we turn down the bond issue because we prefer the Methodist Church option there is no guarantee that our application for the $750,000 grant will be accepted. In fact, receiving this grant is quite unlikely. It is my experience that remodeling an old building and converting it to an energy-efficient building is far more costly.
Turning down the bond issue without the assurance of receiving the $750,000 grant is not rational.
Please remember to vote yes on July 30 or vote early by getting an absentee ballot from the town hall.
Stan Needleman

Gallery: Marshall vs. Akron, Sept. 21, 1974
Marshall University (dark jerseys) beat Akron (white jerseys) 17-7 on Sept. 21, 1974, at Fairfield Stadium.
More Marshall Football Photos
It was Marshall's only win in the 1974 season. Jack Lengyel, who had coached the rebuilding of the team after the Nov. 14, 1970, plane crash, resigned at the end of the 1974 season. Team captains were Allen Meadows and Jesse Smith.
From 1966 to 1983, Marshall's football program suffered a dismal streak of losing seasons. In 1984, Marshall won its two final games on the road against Illinois State and East Tennessee State to finish with a 6-5 record for its first winning season in 20 years.
We are cracking open the archives from past Marshall University football seasons. What game would you like to see again? E-mail online editor Andrea Copley-Smith at email@example.com.

Doctors Cheer As Feds Delay New Disease Codes, Again
Poking fun at a complex new system for classification of diseases is surprisingly easy and enjoyable.
Yes, there are codes your doctor will be able to use someday to submit bills for treatment of a dolphin bite (W5601XA), being struck by a dolphin (W5602XA) or "other contact" with a dolphin (W5603XA). And that's just the start.
Thousands of detailed codes form the backbone of a billing system that the federal government has been seeking to modernize for a while. The U.S., unlike other countries, is still using old codes.
But it's going to take a while longer before things change. The Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday it's delaying implementation of the ICD-10, short for International Classification of Disease, 10th Revision.
Many doctors had raised a ruckus about the inconvenience and expense of switching to ICD-10 when so many other things are changing in health care.
The regulations requiring the move were published three years ago, and were set to take effect in Oct. 2013, two years later than originally planned.
Even so, the American Medical Association, among others, has argued the regulatory burden imposed on doctors by ICD-10 is heavy and is inconsistent with President Obama's executive order telling federal agencies to look for ways to reduce bureaucratic headaches.
An AMA letter (sent on Groundhog Day) to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius laid out the doctors' case. And today Sebelius saw it the AMA's way. A new deadline will be set in a future, but unspecified, round of regulation-writing.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the AMA praised the delay. "The timing of the ICD-10 transition could not be worse for physicians as they are spending significant financial and administrative resources implementing electronic health records in their practices and trying to comply with multiple quality and health information technology programs that include penalties for noncompliance," Dr. Peter Carmel, president of the American Medical Association, said in a statement.
The delay is likely to irk hospitals and insurers who've spent a lot of dough on getting ready for the ICD-10 system, since HHS has said the 2013 deadline was for real.
"Sounds like the lowest common denominator in the health care system wins out," health industry consultant Bob Laszewski wrote in a blog post. "It was obvious a year ago that the docs ... weren't going to be ready yet [the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services] kept telling everyone to keep spending big money on all of this."

That's part of the reason I absolutely despise soares and cannot respect Anderson for ducking rematches. As fighters, Anderson should know more than anyone that beating a fighter once makes you the better fighter on that night. It doesn't make you the better fighter. Anderson--who was an overwhelming favorite to beat Dan or Nate in rematches--could have done what was actually needed to "prove" he was the better fighter instead of relying on the hype that dana and his fanboys perpetuate.
But make no mistake, it was a real fight. There was a real winner, and a real loser. Anderson didn't hand the belt over, it was taken from him. The outcome of the rematch will do nothing to change that.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Paper champs don't get immediate rematches. Apparently that is something that has to be earned by crazy ass win streaks while champion.
Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
im not going to address the moronic statement made in your first sentence but the second, whether it be appropriate or not, was proved not to be true with the edgar/henderson and even technically edgar/maynard albeit that was a draw.
I bet Anderson keeps his hands up this time
the fact of the matter is this: the game is getting faster and stronger and AS is losing a battle with father time. Arguably one of the greatest streaks ever, but last saturday he passed the torch.
Welcome to Sunnyvale.
No, wait..Fuck you!
I doubt it to TBEAR as AS uses the hands down to bate them into over commenting, but I do agree it won't be as bad with Chris.lol.
Just hope Chris sticks to his game plan and does it again.
How glorious would it of been had Weidman been like, nah I don't want a rematch. Holy shit that would of been epic.
