San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Madison Bumgarner pitched six-plus innings and the San Francisco Giants topped the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-2, in the second contest of a three-game set at AT&T Park.
Bumgarner (2-1), who signed a five-year extension with the Giants on Monday, gave up just two runs and scattered seven hits while fanning a pair and issuing just one walk.
Nate Schierholtz had three hits and an RBI, Buster Posey had three hits, while Melky Cabrera, Pablo Sandoval, and Brandon Crawford all added an RBI for San Francisco, which snapped a brief two-game slide.
"I'm just trying to stay through the ball and get the barrel on it," said Posey. "I feel like I have two strikes every at-bat right now and it's just one of those things where I'm up there battling."
Hunter Pence cracked a solo homer and Carlos Ruiz knocked in a run for the Phillies, who had a two-game winning streak halted.
Joe Blanton (1-2) took the loss after giving up four runs on 11 hits over five innings.
Both teams struggled offensively, as the Giants went 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10, while the Phillies were 1-for-11 with men in scoring position and left eight on base.
San Francisco jumped out front with a pair of runs in its first at bat. Angel Pagan led off the frame with a single up the middle and Cabrera followed by ripping a triple down the line in right to score Pagan. Cabrera then crossed the plate on a groundout by Sandoval.
Pence pulled the Phils within one in the fourth after he led off the inning with a towering homer to left-center field.
The Giants, though, added two more runs in the fifth to make it a 4-1 game. Sandoval began the inning with a double and Posey followed with a broken-bat single into center to put two men on. After Aubrey Huff popped out, Schierholtz came through with an RBI single to right. Posey then stole third and scored on a fielder's choice by Crawford.
Jimmy Rollins singled to center field to start the Philadelphia sixth and came home on a sacrifice fly by Ruiz to make it 4-2, but Clay Hensley, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla shut down the Phils out of the San Francisco bullpen the rest of the way.
"The first inning kind of hurt us, although we did have some good chances," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "We would like to have better at-bats."
Prior to the game, former Giants and Phillies outfielder Pat Burrell threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Burrell was an integral part of the 2008 world champion Phillies, and he won the World Series again in 2010 as a member of the Giants...The Phillies posted a 23-9 record against NL West Division teams in 2011...San Jose Sharks forwards Logan Couture and Tommy Wingels attended the game.

Dave & Judy Armstrong: medieval wedding at a Protestant church: 6 October 1984
The hotel is also on the Conde Nast Traveler "Gold List" of the "Best Places to Stay in the Whole World" and Travel + Leisure magazine's list of "Top 100 Hotels in the World." The Wine Spectator has provided the Grand Hotel its "Award of Excellence" and Gourmet Magazine's "Top 25 Hotels in the World" list. The American Automobile Association (AAA) has provided the facilities with a four-diamond rating[16] and in 2009 named the Grand Hotel one of the top 10 U.S. historic hotels.[17]
Readers may be familiar with the science fiction romance movie, Somewhere in Time, with Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, and Christopher Plummer. It was filmed at the Grand Hotel.
Best of all, we got to stay there for absolutely free, including supper and breakfast! This was a great blessing for an apologist like me, with a very modest income and four children to provide for. Our room, at the weekday rates, would have cost $650. It was one of the few lakeview rooms with a balcony as well. It all came about when Judy's mother, Joan Kozora, wrote to the hotel, thanking them for the royal treatment she and her late husband Ray received when they visited for their 50th anniversary in 2004 (a gift courtesy of their six children). She also sent an old photograph from one of her sisters.
The owner then wrote back and invited her as a dinner guest, and a night's stay. By mere coincidence, our family was planning to visit her for our fall trip at her home in Ossineke, Michigan, in the northeast Lower Peninsula, ten miles south of Alpena, at the time. My mother-in-law asked if we could also come, in order to drive her there (about 100 miles from Ossineke), and mentioned that it was our 25th anniversary.
She was told that we were invited, too, courtesy of the hotel, for supper and overnight. We didn't know when we arrived if we would have separate rooms, but the hotel was gracious and generous enough to provide those, too. We didn't pay one red cent. All we paid was the fee for the ferry there and back, and for the horse-drawn carriages to the hotel from the ferry dock and back. We even received a professional photograph (seen below) for free, that would have been $20.

Works great, but pain to install
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The spare tire bike carrier was purchased to allow me to open my tailgate while still keeping bikes on the rack, and, while it serves that purpose, it was incredibly difficult to install. The directions were not clear, and the equipment that was specified for my jeep was actually the wrong size, so I had to adjust the install instructions. Besides taking over two hours to install, the finished product works well, and is nice to attach the tram hitch ski carrier to carry skis in the winter.
You can't be serious that this took you 2 hours to install. I had one of these a few years ago and regrettably sold it. The install took 15 minutes.

No matter how loose I have the knobs, it's difficult to lower and raise the arms? Any suggestions? It feels like it will break....
Bare bones rack, but gets the job done.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I have used this rack a couple of times for 2 mountain bikes each excursion and feel it is dependable. I wish it had a means of keeping the bikes from banging and rubbing against one another, but I found that tying the bikes together with an old rag (lab coat :P) at the right points worked out alright. Other than that one complaint, rack is very capable of getting the job done at a reasonable price.

How To Prevent Puffy Eyes
Puffy eyes are the result of fluid being trapped in the tear ducts and surrounding delicate skin layer. For many, cold weather means puffy eyes. In order to prevent this, Scott-Vincent recommends "taking your favorite eye cream and applying a thick coat on your entire orbital eye area before bedtime. Then, place a thin layer of Vaseline over it to lock in the moisture. Throughout the night, eyes will be constantly conditioned and any puffiness will completely banish!"

I agree. I have used it and it really does help me too. I've also heard that some use vaseline as a lubricant and moisterizer, before or after shaving sensitive areas. My personal favorite is to use for removing eye makeup, or as a moisterizer around my nose after a cold, which may become dry and irritated.
But wont the vaseline be too clogging and cause milias around the eye area?? They would have to have a really good cleanser along with it.

Miss South Carolina Brooke Mosteller said she didn't come up with her controversial joke about mobile homes at the Miss America pageant Sunday, and she wishes she had paid attention to her instincts that told her it was a bad idea.
"The state organization wrote it for me, and when I first heard it, I thought of course I can't say that, because it could be taken as demeaning and insensitive," said Mosteller, who lives in Mount Pleasant. "But everybody recommended that I say it, and they took it as a joke."
The Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization put out an apology Wednesday.
"The introductory statement for Miss South Carolina Brooke Mosteller was decided collectively with the Miss South Carolina Scholarship Organization in an attempt to be creative and humorous," the statement said. "We regret that it was perceived as insensitive and we apologize to our fellow South Carolinians who may have been offended."
Mosteller said she read the statement before it was sent out but felt she needed to say more.
Pageant organizers told the contestants to introduce themselves by saying something original and funny. Mosteller's line was, "From the state where 20 percent of our homes are mobile, because that's how we roll, I'm Brooke Mosteller, Miss South Carolina."
Not many people outside the pageant found it funny, and others said they were offended.
Mosteller said she had doubts when she arrived at the pageant in Atlantic City. So she went up to the script writers, who had all the opening statements in advance, and asked them what they thought. They had been doing this thing for years, so surely they would have a good perspective on it, she figured. They told her the line was great and she should go with it.
"In the end, unfortunately I took their advice and went with that instead of just sticking with my values and my gut that I knew that it could be taken the wrong way," she said.
Mosteller grew up in a Southern Baptist home and takes the Bible literally. A proverb says "In the multitude of counselors there is safety."
Yet another quote was gnawing at her heart, the one from Shakespeare that says, "To thine own self be true."
"That was the conflict," she said. "Humor is never worth any relinquishing of honor."
She says she learned a valuable lesson from the experience.
"When I really think about how it has affected people, it's absolutely nothing to laugh about, and it really just teaches me when it comes to your values, every second counts," she said. "This was a seven-second mistake that is nationally defining my Miss America experience, seven seconds where I compromised my values. That's what everybody is remembering about me right now, and that's what I will do the rest of my time as Miss South Carolina, to show people where my true values lie and how great our state really is."

The Walking Dead Season 3: Carol Was Supposed to Die Instead of T-Dog — Good Change?
Remember in Back to the Future Part II, when there was an alternate 1985? In the alternate The Walking Dead Season 3, T-Dog is still alive right now and Carol is the one who died.
Greg Nicotero — who started as TWD's special effects leader and is now also a co-executive producer and director — talked to The Walker Stalkers podcast about his job, including how Season 3, Episode 4, "Killer Within" originally had a very different trajectory.
"It's sad knowing the way the scripts come out. I know before the actors know when they're going to go," he said, "That's the hardest situation, to be on set and sitting next to someone and you know that the writers are sitting in a room talking about how they are going to kill her off."
As he explained, "In the original draft of ['Killer Within'] script, Melissa McBride's character [Carol] was supposed to die. Iron-E [T-Dog] wasn't going to die, it was going to be Carol. And there are times when one of the producers has to make that sad call and say, listen, I have some bad news for you. But it changes, you can't get into situations where you call an actor and go hey dude in Episode 6 I hate to say it but you're going to be gone. Because, by the time they get to Episode 6, you know what, we changed that a little bit and Carol's going to live now and T-Dog's going to die."
He said no one in the cast wants to take his calls. He just called Melissa McBride one summer to see how she was doing, but instead of saying hello she immediately asked, "Why are you calling me? I'm going to die, aren't I?"
Not yet! What do you think of Carol surviving over T-Dog? They must have plans for Carol, right, or did they just not want to have two women die in the same episode, since Lori also died during "Killer Within"? Poor T-Dog really deserved better — he had a heroic end, but they never developed his story. At least let him leave for the coast, like he always wanted!

Vastolvia Decarliet Williams was arrested Dec. 2 and pled guilty to the charges Dec. 13 in Jones County Superior Court.
According to a report of the incident leading to her arrest by Gray Police Officer Jacob Hunnicutt, he responded to a call in reference to a woman bleeding. When he arrived at the scene, he saw a man sitting on the porch bleeding heavily from his nose and mouth.
A few seconds later, the officer said Williams appeared in the doorway, also bleeding from the mouth and nose and her left eye was almost swollen shut. He said both of them appeared to be extremely intoxicated.
Hunnicutt stated she was hysterical, and while he was trying to calm her down, Williams lunged at the man and started stabbing him. With the help of another officer, the offender and victim were separated and Williams was placed in handcuffs.

US Government HEARTs Military Families
On June 17th the Heroes Earnings Assistance and Relief Tax (HEART) Act of 2008 was signed into law. The HEART Act has a variety of provisions that affect military personnel and their families, with the majority of the changes affecting National Guard and Reserve personnel. Here's a breakdown of the provisions:
- Surviving Families
A survivor of a servicemember killed in the line of duty may now contribute all or part of the $100K death gratuity to a Roth IRA account without being restricted by the usual Roth IRA income or contribution limits. This applies to survivors of military personnel killed since October 7th, 2001. Those "grandfathered" survivors who wish to take advantage of this provision must opt to move the money to a Roth IRA by June 16th, 2009, i.e. within one year after the date of the law's enactment.
- Families Qualifying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Military families who receive SSI from the Social Security Administration for a special-needs family member will no longer see that assistance reduced because of special military pay and allowances. For example, in the past combat pay and allowances have counted as extra income in the Social Security Administration's calculations, resulting in a reduced benefit when a servicemember deployed, which effectively penalized the family for the sponsor's deployment. The HEART Act mandates that non-taxable pay and allowances not be included in the SSI calculations, thus protecting or enhancing the SSI benefit for qualifying military families.
- National Guard and Reserve
If you are mobilized and are receiving compensation, or "differential pay," from your civilian employer, the HEART Act changes the tax status of that compensation. After December 31st, 2008, employers will be able to designate differential pay as wages, which means they will be able to withhold taxes on those wages, so the servicemember will not be faced with a "surprise" tax bill at the end of the year. Small businesses of less than 50 employees will also be able to take a tax credit for 20 percent of the differential pay, up to $4,000.00.
- In another provision, if you find it necessary to tap into your pension assets to make ends meet while mobilized, the HEART Act allows you to make withdrawals without the usual 10% early distribution tax penalty. You may pay back the distribution you took, without penalty, over a two-year period after demobilization.
- Guard and Reserve members who contribute to an employer-provided flexible spending or "cafeteria plan" health care account can get refunds of contributions at the end of the calendar year rather than lose the money—if they have been mobilized during that year and unable to spend the money as expected.
- In another provision, if you find it necessary to tap into your pension assets to make ends meet while mobilized, the HEART Act allows you to make withdrawals without the usual 10% early distribution tax penalty. You may pay back the distribution you took, without penalty, over a two-year period after demobilization.
- Economic Stimulus Payments
Economic stimulus payments were originally only given to taxpayers with Social Security Numbers, which disqualified servicemembers who filed joint returns that included a non-citizen spouse and/or adopted child with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number instead of a Social Security Number. The HEART Act fixes this exclusion and permits stimulus payments for affected families who filed joint returns if at least one spouse was a member of the Armed Forces at any time during the taxable year.
- Veterans
The "first-time homebuyer" rule (denying eligibility to a homebuyer who owned another principal residence in the three preceding years) will no longer affect veterans using qualified mortgage bonds to purchase a residence. Also, there are changes to the rules on qualified veterans' mortgage bonds, a type of bond that only five states have authority to issue. The change affects the annual limit on qualified veterans' mortgage bonds that can be issued in Alaska, Oregon, and Wisconsin, raising it to $100 million. As for qualified veterans' mortgage bonds issued in California or Texas, the HEART Act repeals the requirement in those states that veterans must have served before 1977 and reduces the eligibility period to 25 years (rather than 30 years) following release from military service.

CHURUBUSCO — Despite taking a 7-5 advantage in the first inning, Churubusco's softball team dropped a 19-9 game against Leo Monday night in Churubusco.
Both teams came out with hot bats in the first frame, as Leo opened the game with five runs and the Lady Eagles answered with seven of their own.
The second frame was a different story, as neither team scored.
Leo began to chip away at 'Busco's lead in the third inning, outscoring the Lady Eagles 3-2.
The Lady Lions tied the score at nine in the fourth stanza, but tore the game open in the fifth and sixth innings.
Leo tacked on four runs in the fifth and six more in the sixth frame to accumulate 19 total runs.

We placed all the entries with all the correct answers in a folder and the following were randomly selected.
The grand-prize winner, who will receive a one-of-a-kind pewter-washed version of the Spawn character from Series 23, is:
Jonathan Fernandez of San Lorenzo, CA
The runner-up will receive a complete set of Series 23 action figures. That is:
Samantha Rose Johnson of Pittsburgh, PA
Congrats to the winners - your prizes are on the way - and thanks to everyone who took the time to enter.

My family's Christmas dinners have always been pretty traditional. I make the exact same meal every Christmas and it's exactly the same as what my Mother always made. As I'm writing this I'm thinking that sounds pretty boring. Maybe I should stir things up a bit? Or I could just look at it that I'm following a tradition. It's Roast Turkey, Gravy, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, Mashed Potatoes, Cole Slaw and a Vegetable or two. Those I mix up from year to year. Everything is homemade. I think I'll stick with that, no need to mess with perfection.
If I had my choice, dessert would be traditional Plum Pudding, but everyone else here says Yuk, so that's out. I also love Fruit Cake, but again nobody else does so I don't get that either. I usually make them a Lemon Meringue Pie or two.
Thank you to Geneabloggers for hosting this Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories
Update: In less than an hour after posting this I received a message from the lovely Elizabeth at Little Bytes of Life that she has this cookbook (also from her Mother) and will scan page 197 and send to me. How unbelievable is that? So Happy... ;-)

Updated with a bunch more info on how it works, and what it means.
Interesting stuff!
In the midst of the Super Bowl advertising frenzy, CNET noticed the first big, public showcasing of Apple's AppStore.com URL shortener, right at the end of the trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie.
The way it works, according to developer Benjamin Mayo, is that the new AppStore.com shortener simply takes the name of an piece of content, company, or even person on iTunes, removes any special characters, and then appends that to the domain name. If that ends up with multiple entries for the same name, you'll be shown a search-like page containing all of them, to avoid conflicts. So http://www.appstore.com/imore will show you all apps, podcasts, etc. that include iMore in their name, while http://www.appstore.com/mobilenations will show you all apps made by our Mobile Nations network.
According to Steve Streza, developers interested in knowing more can find documentation on Apple's portal at https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#qa/qa1633/_index.html
More important than the URL-shortening aspect is the marketing aspect. Once upon a time it was "dot com" everyone, with websites ruling the advertising world. Then AOL keywords began to get sprinkled in. The Google keywords. Then Facebook pages. Now Apple has a way to splash a link across an ad, a billboard, or a website in the same easy-to-remember manner.
It makes Apple competitive in the marketing mind-space.

Just tried the links for imore and they did not work... if you remove the www. then they do... so appstore.com/imore will work
Haha, good job Apple! Doesn't work with www, and even without the www, the website rarely seems to recognize my installed iTunes (which it usually always does). And if you go straight to appstore.com, it shows a page displaying "> Bye Bye You shouldn't be here." and redirects to apple.com.
It's like they're not even trying to be good at anything anymore...
Strange. I have just tried a bunch of things, (iMore, MobileNations, AngryBirds, StarWars, StarTrek, StarTrekApp, Google, TempleRun, and Imangi) and all launched iTunes. Safari brought up the one moment screen then right to iTunes.
(Of course, http://appstore.com/starwars doesn't find anything, /startrek and /startrekapp both say the item is not available in the US Store, but the shortener works).
On my Firefox 18.0.1 on Windows 7 x64, every normal AppStore link works great, and displays the App preview in the browser while sending the link to iTunes. Those new shortened links on the other hand just display the "One moment please..." page (which sometimes shows if there's no in-browser preview available, but usually also redirect the link to iTunes), and then redirect me to a "Download iTunes Free" page. I guess that's because I have the automatically installed Firefox plug-in "iTunes Application Detector" disabled in order to save ressources. After disabling it, I just had to set a checkbox once telling Firefox to open ITMS links with iTunes anyway, without checking every time if iTunes was installed, but apparently that doesn't work anymore with the new links. (And they really still don't work with www appended...)
Right on the www not working, and think that is an issue with the links in the article (not what the ad displayed).
To your "not even trying" point, I will agree. If you are not on OS X (10.6.8 or later), using Safari, all bets seem to be off. There was a time not too long ago where that wasn't the case.

The funny is this is only occurring amongst the Christians. Well mostly.
I am well aware of the evils that had taken place at the hand of every organized religion, but in the common era, Christians have been the most corrupt. Using political power to get what they want, violence and mistreatment towards those who believe differently than them. The list goes on.
But there are rumors circulating that Christianity is becoming identified as a hate group, and ridiculed. Well, I wonder why? The organized Church has produced much hate over the past 1,500 years. Last I checked, burning heretics, converting people by a sword, roasting someone over an open fire, protesting funerals, screaming about everyone going to hell, and hypocracy is pretty much considered hate.

Summerville Dream invites you to usher in the holiday season at its Third Thursday event from 5 to 8 p.m. on November 21, 2013! This month's theme is "Bury Hunger in Summerville," and what better way to begin the holidays than to share our abundance with others? In light of the theme, Parks Funeral Home is graciously providing a hearse at Hutchinson Square to collect nonperishable food items – anything canned, bagged, or boxed (just check those expiration dates, please). The food will go to two local organizations, HELP of Summerville and the Dorchester Senior Center, which will create some 300 Christmas baskets for our elderly shut-in neighbors. Think big – let's fill the hearse to overflowing! If each attendee brings in just one or two items, consider the difference we will make, based on an estimated attendance of a thousand. For those bringing in items, renowned storyteller Tim Lowry will give out codes for a free download of his rendition of Dickens's A Christmas Carol.
WCBD-TV Channel 2 will be broadcasting live, and the atmosphere will sure to be festive with performances from Windsor Hill Elementary School, Kelly's Dance, and musicians staged around Hutchinson Square, Short Central, and in front of Town Hall. Our downtown businesses will be open late and in the holiday spirit, too, with beautiful decorations and unique holiday gift items for you to get a head start on your shopping.
So invite your family, colleagues, friends and neighbors for a fun evening and show everyone that our town has the true holiday spirit – enough to Bury Hunger in Summerville! Can't join us? Four Green Fields, A Very Little Bookstore, and
People, Places, & Quilts also will be accepting food donations from Monday, November 18, through Saturday, November 23.
For questions or more information, call Summerville Dream at 843.821.7260 or contact email@example.com.

The last major task I have is riveting the camming piece into position. The receiver otherwise is complete with grip mods done/installed and working fine. A few pesky problems to diagnose though.....
1. I can't manually pull the bolt back far enough with the cocking handle to eject a cartridge. The raised tab on the rear of the ratchet plate prevents the handle from going back far enough.....about 3/16th" shy. Ratchet plate installed where it needs to be less the tip of the cocking handle protrude in the ejection port. I think I simply ground off too much on the tip of the cocking handle when I notched it where it interacts with the tab on bolt carrier. Easy fix.
2. Getting the bolt back past the camming piece at the point of unlocking the bolt/barrel is now a bear. It was working fine after welding the receiver halves, so I'm confused as to what's causing the problem now.
-Barrel slides back and forth freely without binding under pressure from recuperator.
-Barrel installs and the door closes smoothly.
-No apparent sharp corners or obstructions noted in transition between camming piece ramps and the rails.
-At times I can hear the bolt disengage the barrel and the barrel return forward, but the bolt still resists being pulled to the rear.
-Tried several different bolt head and barrel combinations, no diff. All this with the top cover and feed tray removed.

During orientation, peer advisors will help with airport pick ups, initial housing assistance, and the 2-day orientation program. Meals during orientation will be provided by the office for peer advisors. After the initial arrival, peer advisors will be responsible for checking in with students during the first week of the semester.
- In Fall: Peer advisors volunteer for a two-week period from mid-August (starting the Saturday before Opening Days)
- In Spring: Peer advisors volunteer for a two week period from mid-January (starting the Wednesday before classes begin for spring semester)
It is hoped peer advisors will be mentors and friends to new international students as they settle into academic and campus life at Willamette University. It is possible for peer advisors to plan activities with students beyond the two week program, but it is not required.
OIE peer advisors work approximately 20-25 hours during the week of international student orientation, and typically 2-4 hours during first week of the semester. Although the position is unpaid, meals and expenses while working are covered with advance approval.
Interested applicants
Interested applicants for spring must apply by September 30, 2015. You must apply by February 15, 2015 for the fall program.
For more information, contact Chris Andresen, OIE Associate Director.

Hot pink in the way that can be worn by people with light skin and yellow undertones…finally! I so wanted to be part of the hot pink lip trend, but everything out there was so blue it washed me out and looked oddly fake. Pleasurefruit is a sexy watermelon pink that goes on sheer and is buildable. Wear, at 3 hours is a little short, but what you put on stays in place.
Combining the colour impact of a Lipstick with the shine sheen of a Lipglass, Sheen Supreme creates the perfect hybrid – with no compromise. Lightweight, non-sticky, slick to apply and comfortable to wear. This is a must-have for all those who have craved this kind of fusion.

I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this has been discussed already. I searched but couldn't find anything.
I'm wondering how PE and health insurance work... Does PE count as "preexisting condition" for instance? For those of you who were on hospital bed rest, what did you end up paying for?
We moved to CA a year ago, after I gave birth to our daughter. Diagnosed with PE at 27 weeks, I stayed in the hospital for 6 weeks. They induced at 33w. With the awesome insurance plan we had, we did not see one bill, for me or for my daughter (2 weeks in the NICU). Our CA insurance plan is horrible though (are they all like that here?). Since we'd like to try for a second baby in 1-2 years, I'm wondering what we can do with our insurance so that we don't end up totally broke if I have to be in the hospital for an extended period of time again, etc.
I'd love to hear your stories! Thanks!

79 year old male patient. ESOPHAGOGASTRODUCODENOSCOPY_Tolerated procedure well with no complications.Fentanyl 75 mcg IV with Versed mg IV. time in 0819 time out 0827.
I use two patches 100 each every 72 hours for chronic intractable pain. I had migraines a nerve block should stop.Instead he did a catheter up mid back to the bottom of my skull.Every disc-C7 thru C1 ruptured& nerve root damage at C4-5. No discs in my neck is horribly painful but damaged nerve roots created crushing horrific pain I never knew could exist. That was 3 years ago. It took 2 1/2 years and a trip to the Mayo Clinic to finally be able to sleep more than a few hours every 2 to three days. I have mercy with 2 100mcg Fentanyl patches. I still live/sleep in the recliner, but I've stopped suffering to death 24/7 I have stopped thinking of relief from death & Now I think of life. I can sleep now and talk coherently again! Thank You Fentanyl for making my situation bearable.
I am on 100mcg of Fentanyl and it has been a life saver. I was diagnosed with Arachnoiditis have had 6 back surgeries and it is the only thing that helps. I take Hydrocodone for break through pain but it is worthless. For those of you on the the Fentanyl Patch and have a hard time having it stick take it from me. Go to CVS and get the CVS brand Tegaderm. It keeps it stuck on you and is easy on your skin
i currently take 2 75 mcg patches for 48hrs. also take 30 mg roxicodone 6 times a day for chronic back pain i have had 11 operations on my spine. this is better than the pain i was having. I still have pain ,but not as bad, I sweat alot and have a hard time keeping the patches on.My experiance is positive with this drug
after a knee replacement, it was a lifesaver, of course i also had oxycodone to relieve break through pain, but the 75 mg patch good for 3 days did the trick, wish i had saved a few, it'd be nice to have an afternoon off from pain so i could garden.
I take Oxycodone for break thru pain control. I take a pill/Oxy only when I absolutely need it. A couple of times, I didn't have the money to get my patches so I had withdrawals from not having the in my system. The pain was bad. I learned a big lesson then and never will go without again unless the doctor is controlling the aftermath.
This drug does help some with my pain.My pain Managment Dr doesn't want to give me much else for breakthrough pain though, and will only go up to the 50 mcg/hr on the patch strength. I am on the 25 and the 12 mcg/hr right now and I am afraid to ask for the 50 mcg/hr since that is as high as he will go. What happens when I need to go higher than that? So I just try to deal with the pain that I have now, that the patch handles well for the most part, it is wonderful to be able to have at least a half of a life instead of no life at all.
Yes nit helped ease the pain some with another pain pill to kick in and help better control
When i asked my doctor to raise my dose a methadone which is low, 40mg a day. i think its low. and also need something I could take after an upcoming lap band fill when I cant swallow a pill for a few days. He switched me to fentanyl patch and norco for breakthrough pain.... its not working, If it weren't for my fill coming up, I would switch back to methadone now! Im in pain, its probably better than nothing but defiantly doesn't work. But than again my doctor has tried norco, methadone, ocy and now this and the only thing that works is the methadone! Everyone thinks im crazy for not being happy with the other meds but, oh well im not looking to get high, I just want to tolerate life and not be in sever pain all the time!
I have a ruptured disk, scoliolis and failed back surgery syndrome with permanente nerve damage. I did fairly well on oxcycontin, but was addicted so that by 8 am i was already in withdrawls if i did not wake up to take it. Morphine works best for some relief but when i used Fentanyle 50 patches, i was so sick with sweats, vomiting, vertigo and hot and cold shivers. I ended up in ER on Iv fluids for dehydration and took myself off the patch the next day. Withdrawls suck almost as bad as the oxycontins......not worth the side effects at all!!!!

Hi! My name is Lisa, I'm 28, married and live in Illinois. I lost my first baby, a boy, in September 2003 due to severe preeclampsia. I was at 22 wks and I was approaching seizures and possibly a stroke. I was told I had to make a choice.[V] I will carry guilt for that the rest of my life. The doctors told me the baby was already showing signs of trauma at that point. I don't really understand why this happened to me. Hubby and I would like to try again but I'm so so scared. I've been told I have a 60-65% chance of developing it again. I don't know if I'm doing the right thing by trying again but I feel I should atleast give it one more chance. I've read a little on here about what my chances are. I'd love to hear some success stories if anyone has any...It would sure bring my hopes up a little.

Two thoughts, like many of the trolls on this forum, I agree this particular indie dev could have been less rude and more professional. Indie gaming is about the likability of the company. If the company is full of 'ass hats' (like The War Z) then people will hate the developer and seek to punish them whenever they can.
If this whole interview was simply an apology from the developer for any confusion and an explanation of why the switch was required, it would have gone off smoother. On top of that it could have been used as a selling point IE: THE UNITY ENGINE WAS LIMITED WITH HERO WE CAN DO SO MUCH MORE THAT IS IN LINE WITH THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT.
[mod edit]
Second point,
Kickstarter is a crowd funding project that makes it so people can invest into a game. Once the money is received there is no qualification that the money has to be used exactly as shown. Once received the artists can choose to use that funding wherever they please.
Although this is supposed to be a game made for the fans, it's not a game that the fans design themselves. Wait until there is some alpha content to really jump on this game's flaws.

Gaming should be about fun, not gender equality.

As a SW developer (not gaming, unfourtunately) I strongly agree with the underlined statement. You should never re-invent the wheel unless you have a very strong reason to do so. There are tons of frameworks and libraries out there which provides many services which you can re-use so reinventing that service gives you more control but costs a lot more, in time and effort, than reusing an existing service.
Anyway the more I read your posts the more sense you make so I wish you the best of luck. You are doing what many of us would dream to do but keep in mind that you have games like Darkfall, Mortal Online and other even worse indy games which promised so much but delivered so little.
So the amount of suspicion and scepticism is naturally high right now. So it is not only a case of anonymity on the Internet there is also cases where us gamers got burnt when buying into indy MMOs. So as I hope you will be successul I am no longer going to bring out any cash or even be excited until I see something that works well and I think that is where these "negative" posts are coming from.

yes while its still in early development, I have no problem. To me you take something to kickstarter you should at least have the engine determined, to me this is the biggest issue. I have always said, I will let the game speak for itself in the end, these guys are off to a rough start, but I still believe in the potential.
I am tired of Hero engine, its terrible for MMO's, so this is a huge drawback to me. Something that definitely changed my thoughts on GM. Also the 3000 to 6000 parcels swap was shady
Originally posted by Myrdynn
We have tried to explain the increase in parcels on more then one occasion.
When we started our KickStarter campaign we thought the Game would have a small niche market. In all of our Development Chats we were hoping to have 1500 parcels accounted for by the end of our KickStarter Campaign. We then planned on Doubling that to 3,000 so we could launch with 1,500 parcels for sale in the first few months of the game being live.
We never dreamed that we would have the support of so many. In truth by the end of our KickStarter Campaign we had just OVER 3,000 parcels accounted for. The increase in parcels is just what we had been planning on doing all along, Doubling the amount of parcels that were accounted for by the end of the KickStarter.
If Jason hasn't cleared his Skype History I'm sure he could go back to October and find where we had been talking about that. I would but I got a new computer and Cleared my History when I switched over to the new computer.

Well said without really picking a side. We all know that there is a lack of good PR when it comes to certain people involved with GM, but that is a lesson learned not a lesson taught.
It is completely true that once the kickstarter finished, the fans have absolutely no say in what happens with the game. If the company all of a sudden decides that it believes that a Hello Kitty online sequel is a better choice with the kickstarter money it is up to them. Kickstarter literally says that it is up to the developer what they do with the money and if they believe you deserve a refund. At this point the best course of action is to sit back and let this one sink or swim on it's own accord.

James I know you guys have explained it numerous times, personally I hoped from the beginning there would be enough parcels and the numbers you started with seemed really low. I always thought you should start at 10k anyways. My point was, like I said I still have a lot of faith in the project so dont get me wrong, this was one of the issues that people have had a problem with. As well as the engine thing which is my biggest gripe, but not gamebreaking, and the public relations effects of Jason (which I dont have a problem with) cause I really just want a good game, and even if the biggest Ahole in the world made it (not saying that Jason is) I would buy it, cause we all just want a really good Sandbox again someday

I don't know what the state of the game is, or what's going on with kickstarter, but I respect the guy for going for it.
Keep it up, keep doing it your way. I hope you can make a hell of a game.

With a game like this, it's really about balance and expectations.
Our goal is to provide enough parcels for everyone who wants them now, to have them, while keep the supply just short of demand to ensure a strong secondary market for those who decide to sell off their estates.
We had originally planned to double what was available but didnt expect the interest we recieved and still have a LOT of people emailing me and messaging me every day wanting to buy a pledge package. By the time we actually get close to Alpha, we will have, I'm sure, a great deal more interest in the game then, than we do now, so offering a follow up KS campaign for those who missed the first one won't be a detriment to the current backers.
So, overall, it's about supply and demand. Keep in mind, we also want to make sure that the world of greed monger grows rather than adding new servers from scratch, so those things need to be taken into account and planned for in advance as well to accomodate new players later.
As of right now, 6,000 player parcels are being designed into the world mass. That's where it will stay for quite some time, even if 30,000 people decide they want land of their own come launch day. I anticipate a mad house of speculation, buying and selling of property. But we'll see.
The point is, this wasn't about just bringing in more money. If all I was worried about was making money, I'd have accepted the over $20,000+ offered to me already since the KS campaign ended. There is much more to it and it is a balancing act.
I want to get the game further into development, guage the interest at a later date and then make the final decisions based on where we and the community interest is.
Hopeully that helps make a little more sense.

But not speaking up, and just jumping right in, based on promises / hype, is the stupid way to go about it.
Like they always say, we vote with our wallet, and since GM is asking us to pay for a game that only exists in his head, the only way to go about it without just jumping in blind, is to question them.
And as soon as he was questioned, he went full forum-warrior mode, instead of being professional about it, the way he acted around here didn't help his cause, just fuelled the fire.
Until he proves he got a fun, solid game, I wouldn't trust this man with a cent.

I couldn't care less about his response. He made himself look like a amatuer on this site and people called him on it. Its clear to me he has no idea how much it truly cost to finish a mmo and I don't think this game will ever see the light of day. Much of why I think this way is because of his own words on these very forums. The game sounds like a cash grab and the guy behind it seems to be in over his head.

I don't know the full story and I'm guessing from this interview along with what everyone is saying that he didn't react well to the criticism. However, I noticed not too long ago, that a lot of people were criticizing Jason for his lack of specifically coding experience. And...everyone else who has been in charge of development of past MMOs has had coding experience? All it takes is someone with a great idea and the skill involved to get people to back you up. And it sounds like Jason did that. I say good on him. Good luck with the project. And screw everyone else.

Well I have to say that I've found your dialouge in this thread a great improvement from everything I've seen before. More focus on actual points of interest and more transparency. The tone is professional, (In as much as one would expect from an indie developer. Yes, the expectation is different. I assume a level of secrecy and double talk from AAA teams simply because they have levels of labor and management to control and account for that goes beyond what a small team is doing,) and you've actually made me enjoy reading what you have to say.
In a small way, I actually feel a little bad for what I posted earlier. Not because I feel that it was wrong, per se, but because I didn't actually expect you to come back here and present yourself in this way. Even if I had, it certainly would not have been expected this soon. If nothing else, you have changed my view of you and your team in a small, but very meaningful, way. The little missteps your programmers and designers make in conversation I can ignore because their role in this is different and I understand what it means to be emotionally invested in a creative work that your hands have made. They are not held to the same standard you are, and will be in the future going forward from this. Good job at least making strides in the right direction.
Just remember that this is a very different consumer than you've been dealing with. Also remember that there are people here that aren't mindless villains waiting to destroy the next big thing. Just because we don't speak as often as the others does not mean we read the posts any less. Always speak as though you are speaking to us and not them, because its the reasonable and thoughtful silent majority you want to hear you. We will be the ones considering a purchase. Our views are even more dangerous than a troll. People ignore trolling. The friends we talk to and the people we deal with are going to listen to our opinions with a great deal more weight than what a random forum troll will get. I know that this level of separation, speaking to an audience you cannot see on the page, is very hard. But its vital, and I'm betting that looking at it in that way will help a great deal when deciding how best to respond to these issues.

This appleton guy got mad because someone was talking shit about him/ his game on the internet. Absolutely terrible. Shouldnt he be making his game rather than feeding trolls on the internet? I still dont think he gets it... its not about whether the poster was right or wrong. Its about you doing your job ie. not getting into fights with internet trolls....
All these indie mmorpgs led my devs with no experiences are pretty much guaranteed fails. This Jason Appleton dude has zero industry experience let alone a simple game under his belt. Why would anyone fund this project?
Watching the kickstarter video makes me puke. "we're not even serverside yet" -- wtf does that mean? sounds like this dude has no idea what he is talking about. All the kickstarter shows is a bunch of 3d models, uninspiring art style, no gameplay, no demonstration of multiplayer, no combat, no spells just nothing. FFS they are still deciding what game engine they are going to use.... vaporware for sure

Has successfully forgiven SOE/LA for the NGE.
I like this guy. He makes a lot of very solid points about the nature of internet goers, and MMORPG.com's forums. Actually, I think he might be the first person to speak openly about how developers really view forums like MMORPG.com.
So he got into a bit of a PR mashup with some d*cks here at MMORPG.com. The man's a fighter. He's used to brawling. I respect him for being open and honest about things.
Thumbs up to the guy for making his goals reality. For all of you whining about his lack of professionalism, and how 'he doesn't know what he's talking about' - man up and make a MMO, then come back with the experience and knowledge to back your words.

Well my money is already on the table (backer here!) and I hope that you, Jason, have learned one thing:
Anonymous Internet Forum Warriors are serious shit. You don't mess with them, ever. You can't win a fight against an opponent that for all practical purposes, doesn't have anything to lose.
The only way you can hurt them is to build your game and prove them wrong.
