Wednesday, October 2, 2013
Scenario: A lovely autumn day. Husband and wife are heading out to run errands. They switch the TV to Animal Planet for the dog, lock the door and go. As they walk down the steps, wife hands husband the car keys.
Surveys show that when couples travel together, about 75 percent of the time hubby drives. Unless it's my husband, who insists on driving 99.9 percent of the time, even in my car.
Widdle Baby would rather scrub grout with a 104-degree fever than let me drive. Once, from behind the wheel, he actually said, "I'm a better driver than you." Then he didn't understand why I got mad and refused to look at a cornfield he got lost in at age four.
I only "get" to drive on long trips, when he has interstate overload and starts to twitch and foam at the mouth. Then he heaves a desperate sigh, coasts into a rest stop, moves to the passenger side and reclines the seat so he won't have to watch me careen into the median or drive into the side of an oil tanker.
This attitude infuriates me. In 52 years I've never had a wreck that was my fault, except once I sneezed at a traffic light and tapped the Toyota in front of me. The guy just waved and laughed, so it was no big deal. Thank God, because—I'm not making this up—he was dressed as a clown and I am terrified of clowns. If he'd stepped out of his car I'd have died before he reached my window.
Widdle also says I don't keep my car clean enough. Sometimes, he even complains that it smells funny. I admit my ride is often littered with library books, newspapers, bills, magazines, plastic bags, empty vials of dog medicine and hairy blankets. This is because I like going to the library, enjoy reading newspapers and magazines, go to the post office daily and constantly take the dog to the vet. See? There's a reason for it all.
But two weeks ago, I decided to surprise Widdle. I had my car detailed at the dealership. Three hours and $35 later, I drove off in a vehicle that gleamed inside and out. Widdle was thrilled. I even left the paper floor mats down for a week.
Until last Sunday…
We were driving down Central Avenue, headed to the drug store. I was reading a church bulletin and Widdle was chatting idly. A split-second later he hit the brakes to avoid a truck that stopped suddenly up ahead. Our car swerved sharply and jolted to a screeching halt... and a small projectile shot from under the back seat into the passenger floorboard.
I didn't make a sound. I never do when I'm scared. "Man, that was close!" Widdle exclaimed.
I fixed him with a deadly look and blurted, "What the @&#$ is that by my foot?"
The object on the paper mat was… furry. And shrunken. And a weird bronze color.
I raised my feet and kept them raised until we reached the drug store, where we peered at the gnarled object again.
It was, without a doubt… a petrified potato.
My husband cracked up. "I told you something smelled funny!" he hooted. That potato had been wedged under the back seat since my last grocery run weeks ago. Even the auto detailer hadn't seen it.
Widdle chortled as he wadded the wizened tater up in the paper floor mat and tossed it in a garbage can.
Let him laugh--now I have another excuse not to grocery shop.

Wind: 0 mph
By Eric Brattstrom and Dotty Kyle
Damage done by our disregard for the very land we share with billions of other species should give us pause and help guide us to be more thoughtful custodians of this once bountiful Earth. The destruction is not always "in our faces" – we get used to it or it's out of sight. The more than 400 dead zones of our oceans (a million square miles and growing) is out of sight to most of us and so is the once pristine First Nations lands of Alberta, Canada. It's an old story. Newcomers walk all over treaties with indigenous people. Oklahoma residents now proudly proclaim themselves "Sooners," not recognizing the true history of the term – a land grab opening a choice portion of Indian territory to white settlement.
We are currently aiding and abetting the government of Alberta in their disregard for the health and property rights of First Nations people. Proposing to provide an outlet for their tar sands diluted bitumen with the Keystone Pipeline and perhaps through Vermont as well in the Portland to Montreal pipeline is truly wrong-headed and risky.
Oil sands (as the industry prefers to call their toxic product), once extracted, refined and burned, will be the last straw that the Earth as we know it can handle. James Hansen, former head of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, speaks publicly about the dangers of continued reliance on fossil fuels and tar sands in particular.
Big Oil is destroying hundreds of square miles of CO2-absorbing Canadian boreal forests and replacing them with leaking sludge ponds and polluted rivers and in the process dumping countless tons of greenhouse gasses into the already overextended atmosphere.
Canadian First Nations people have taken up the slogan "Idle No More" in their fight to save themselves, the land and creatures they rely on for their very lives. We second nation Americans have a dog in this fight, as well – the survival of our grandchildren. It would be unconscionable to sit back idly and watch from the sidelines.
Write or speak to Senators Bernie Sanders, Pat Leahy and Peter Welch...or better yet, to John Kerry and President Obama.
They need to know where we stand.
Brattstrom and Kyle live in Warren

Wonder if this means I can get super cheap tickets to the fight? Since its in Long Beach.
Wonder if this means I can get super cheap tickets to the fight? Since its in Long Beach.
They moved away from being a second tier MMA promotion, and while trying to elevate their product hired second tier fighters for much more then they were worth. Kongo isnt a draw, he shouldn't be making more then 15k. It's like they think people forget why a fighter was cut from the UFC. Should of stayed in the middle, built up fighters like they were doing and enjoyed success, now they are forgetting about the fighters that made them anything and started pushing UFC cast-offs.
As long as Bellator continue hiring B/C level UFC rejects, they will never be in a good economical position.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
After this PPV turns out a massive bust I could see Viacom packing it in.
I really believe that people like Bill Murray or John Belushi are just as great and just as valid as Robert De Niro or Al Pacino. And I don't think you can say One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) is a better movie than Animal House (1978); they're different genres. I think they're both examples of great craftsmanship.
-Sam Rockwell
Dude, Im a wrestler. Im the best wrestler in MMA. Wrestling IS, was and always has been the most dominate form of mix martial art on the planet. Thats all there is to it. We all know it, some people want to fight it, some people want doubt it but wresters rule the MMA world. -
Ben Askren
However, for SPIKE, they're big into original programming and pulling in a certain number of viewers from the key demos. TNA and Bellator both do a number that alot of other original shows wouldn't. They're not pulling COPS numbers(which have been huge for them) but for original programming, I wonder if after advertisements etc, they pull in a profit or at least write it off because it fills key timeslots and is more cost effective than producing an original scripted program. They bought BFC so not to lose the MMA programming, they're not getting what they want out of it, but I'm not gauging the PPV as a do-or-die situation, rather a litmus test for how far out they can go from their comfort zone.
Oh and found this just now:
Let me join the choir and say that this article is poorly written. Quotes like these are the work of amateurs:
This article does have some redeeming qualities. I've been dying to know what Bellator expects to charge for their PPV debut, and $35-$45 does seem a bit high. I was expecting something like $29.95. It's not that the PPV is a poor quality product, but I assumed they would look to draw the biggest audience possible, with an eye towards building brand awareness. Then, if the card generates some buzz, they could incrementally up the price for each subsequent card. Considering how many UFC/Bellator events are on TV for free, it seems like the pricing will shut out anyone who isn't an ultra-hardcore fan, and most of those people know how to ride a stream.Bjorn Rebney better be prepared to get a job at his dad's Winnebago dealership; winter is coming for Bellator. Nobody is going to attend their PPV, and it's probable that, at an expected price between $35-45, nobody is going to purchase their PPV either. Nobody gives a fuck about their product and their titles are considered worthless.
Bellator has been drawing solid ratings for their Friday night shows, but the fact that ticket sales don't cover the production cost for the event (i.e. ticket sales can't cover the cost of fighter salaries, as in the Kongo example) is a major deviation from the UFC model. I'm sure that Bellator does well with their TV/advertising deal, but it doesn't seem healthy that they suffer a net loss at the gate for each show they put on. And this trend seems to be continuing for the PPV, if this report of poor ticket sales is to be believed.
One last thing, this article sheds some light on why Bjorn has been chirping in the UFC/Dana's direction so much recently. All this talk about; (1) I'll let Ben Askren go if the UFC gives him an immediate title shot, (2) I haven't gotten a reply from Dana, and (3) I'll have to re-sign Ben if I don't hear from the UFC, is completely bullshit. And he's obviously doing this to help out the poor ticket sales.
I'm afraid that Bellator might find out the hard way that the dude who casually watches their Friday night events because nothing else is on TV, is NOT the same guy who will spend $45 for a PPV. That guy will probably just find something else to watch for free on the night of the PPV.

I hope this just shakes Viacomm into updating the strategy to be no more PPV, focus on network and talent promotion.

Update (Sep.4/06): The post title might be misleading - http://www.dohamap.info/ was launched last August and should enjoy the "first mashup" title for Qatar. :)
With the recent addition of Google Maps high-resolution satellite imagery in the Middle East region the tiny Arab country of Qatar is now officially on the map! In-country website QatarLiving.com is making use of this new imagery by establishing the Interactive Doha Map that allows users to plot "places" on the map with a description and image. The new mapping service allows users to plot where they are from in order to show the diversity of people living in Qatar since some 80% of the approximately 800,000 residents are expats. The satellite imagery for the city of Doha and the entire country makes for interesting sightseeing as well. Lots of construction, lavish hotel properties and some pretty impressive residential homes can all be seen by panning and zooming around Qatar from this mashup. The Interactive Doha Map will help bring these visible locations to life! :)

Do you know of any other Google Maps mashups in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Bahrain or Oman? If so, please drop me a line or post a comment!

A family in the Lost Creek community of Perry County paid tribute to one of their own who was lost in the Vietnam War by having the road where he was raised renamed in his honor.
The Perry County Fiscal Court and the Kentucky General Assembly adopted resolutions this year to dedicate Kentucky Route 1146 in Perry County as the "PFC Billy Ray Patrick Memorial Highway." Billy Ray was the son of Lula Patrick, who still lives on Route 1146.
Patrick said her son was drafted into the Army, into the 25th Infantry Division, and sent to Vietnam in February of 1966; he was 22 years old. Just a few months later, in May, Patrick received news that Billy Ray had been mortally wounded in battle in South Vietnam and had died.
"I saw the police car pull up out there and I knew what it was," she remembered. "I started running out that way, I couldn't face it. I got out there and I thought, there's no sense in it, you're going to have to face it sometime."
Patrick said her younger son and a few other family members had been playing with the idea of having the highway dedicated to Billy Ray for a few years, though no one had really tried to get the process started until last year. Patrick's nephew, Lloyd Engle, brought the issue up at a Perry County Fiscal Court meeting last summer.
"I told them I'd bring it up, you know, and they got it done," Engle said.
Engle said he also had to talk to Rep. Fitz Steele, D-District 84, to have a resolution passed through the state House to have the transportation cabinet dedicate the road.
Kentucky House Joint Resolution 60 reads, "… the passing of Billy Ray Patrick has left a void which cannot be filled, even these many years later, among his family and friends and … it is fitting and proper that the service and sacrifice of Pfc. Billy Ray Patrick be remembered in a tangible way, no matter how tardy or seemingly insignificant that memorial may be."
The resolution was passed and the highway was renamed last month.
According to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund, Patrick's name is honored on panel 7E, row 120 of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Lula Patrick said if her son knew the road he grew up on would bear his name he would be very proud, and she is too.
"He'd be so tickled about it," she said.

In 1812, Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm authored the well known story of "Hansel and Gretel," which sparked an idea for local families is time to spend together on a project. School officials said this gingerbread adventure was designed to give families a fun time. The gingerbread house contest was held at Mountain Park in December. Any gingerbread structures were welcomed.
Students could make a gingerbread train, a gingerbread lighthouse, a gingerbread barn, a gingerbread church, or a gingerbread cabin, instead of a house although houses were allowed. Students were encouraged to have fun and be creative with this optional project. The gingerbread structures were judged by the Mountain Park staff and were on display in the media center during the week of Dec. 10.
All participants received a framed photo of themselves with their gingerbread creations.The contest winners were William Myers, first place; Colby Callaway, second place and there was a tie for third place between Dylan and Neveah Casstevens.

Rated 2.8 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ev Good sound, sub works great. when viera connect is working perfectly this system is amazing value for the price. Sometimes it just doesn't sync when turning on my panasonic tv and the soundbar will not turn on. only takes a couple clicks into the apps section to correct this so not too much of a problem. Got these for $160 and love them at that value, would probably be disappointed if i had paid list price though. March 24, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Leonitus good sounds anfeatrues, but needs software update This system actually produces very good sound quality for the price range and when its working it has no issues. I actually have it connected to a Panasonic TV and using the ARC (HDMI) output and it still sometimes gives me issues with input switching being too slow and I have to use the remote to keep switching inputs until it select the correct one and send the Video to the TV from my Cable reciever. Also the buttons on the acutal system receiver are slow, cheap, and sometimes don't respond so you have to use the remote. With all that said, I have been using this system for almost a year and have gotten used to all the quirks and most of the time I just have to turn off the TV and resart it or use the remote and switch to the correct input to make it work. I need to do this about 30-40% of the time. I also went ahead and installed the update they offer on this panasonic support page and it still did not help after having to try to install that update over 3 times it finally appeared to "work" but like I said function remained the same and I still have the same issues. November 25, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 Stopped Working in Less Than 1 Year I'm not sure why I chose a 3.1 system (probably because it was less expensive) but I regret it. The receiver stopped working in less than a year. About 9 months. It started by randomly not working, and randomly not turning on, then it just all out quit. Yes, it was under a 1-year manufacturer warranty, but that means you have to ship it to Texas and wait 6 weeks. Also -- this is ridiculous -- I bought this product brand new with a Panasonic tv. It was package. Yet, I have to have 2 remotes. That is dumb. I should only need 1 remote for a home theatre system that is all 1 manufacturer. June 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mark K Nice System For the generally available price, it is very nice. -Pros- Great sound Wireless Sub 3 HDMI switcher (this is a stellar feature) -Cons- As others have noted, you either have to memorize the inputs because the indicators are only tiny LEDs, or get really close to read the labels Sometimes the HDMI switching is a little slow Would easily be 5 stars if not for the two cons.

With college students from all over the country traveling over the Thanksgiving weekend, the CDC has issued a health advisory to doctors to be on "the look out" for meningococcal meningitis and sepsis. As you know, travel is a great way to spread germs, even unknowingly, and many college kids left their campuses and headed home for Thanksgiving. In just a few weeks they will be traveling again for Christmas/winter break.
While there are different types of bacteria that cause meningitis, there has been an outbreak of serotype B meningococcal disease in students at both Princeton University and at The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Unfortunately, the two meningococcal vaccines that adolescents receive do not protect against serotype B disease. The vaccines licensed in the United States protect against meningococcal serotypes A,C,W,Y. (Make sure your students are protected with this vaccine).
Because there have been 8 cases of serotype B meningococcal disease at Princeton and 3 more cases at UCSB, the CDC is concerned that there could be more cases identified in different parts of the country, spread by college students traveling coast to coast.
Meningococcal disease comes on quickly and has symptoms like many other illnesses, including the flu. Meningococcal disease causes headache, fever, body aches, nausea and vomiting and often a rash which is classic for the disease. This disease seems to cluster in adolescents who are constantly in close contact with one another. But, meningococcal disease makes patients even sicker than the flu and other viral infections, and typically begins much more quickly. These patients get sick and look very sick quickly, a matter of hours at times.
So parents, if your child develops a fever, headache, stiff neck and a rash make sure you call your doctor. Doctors, we all need to be aware of the outbreak of meningococcal disease and for patients who appear extremely sick consider the diagnosis.
The best way to prevent disease continues to be good hand washing, and cough hygiene. Make sure your students have been vaccinated for meningococcal disease and the flu as well!

As a lifetime member of STO I can tell you all now there's nothing to worry about. People were all whining and crying about how terrible STO was at launch but then PW came along and people whined even louder. NONE of the claims these whiners yelled in the forums were true about STO/PW combining forces. STO is more balanced and is not a money hog for everything like I've found GW2 post Nov 15th to be, They actually allow you to get the best gear without spending a dime of RL money in the store. Sure you have to spend a couple of weeks gathering dilithium but it's nothing like the 16 months of dailies you have to do to get the best gear in GW2 right now.
I'd suggest you people do more homework before complaining.

Looks like there has been a bit of quiet editing.
Originally article stated-

Now it says-
If we look at Star Trek Online, another game developed by Cryptic and now published by PWE, we can get a good idea of what monetization will look like in Neverwinter. In STO there are subscriptions, so-called Gold Memberships that come in at a typical old-school subscription price of $14.99 per month. There is also the Lifetime "Founder" status for $199. Score one for budget pricing. No really. Two hundred dollars, even if the game only lasted two years, is a helluva price.
Really not an adequate change, because it still sort of implies, especially with the erroneous Lifetime reference, that NWO has a sub. Also the correction should be public, not a quiet ninja edit.

This article is thick with the stench of hype. I would really like to believe Cryptic is going to make something special here , I really do but their past is just so bad how could anyone believe ? Just saying record speaks louder than words.

We live in a fantasy world, a world of illusion. The great task in life is to find reality.
Just want to point out that Jack Emmert himself pointed out Cryptic will never charge for content including Foundry content. So I normally take the head of a company at his word. I do not think they will monetize the mods either but they do allow for users of the content to give a "tip" to designers to show support. Plus Foundry modders get other incentives from Cryptic themselves for producing good content so no need for them to monetize it.
As for the rest of the article, NWO is the #1 MMO I am most hyped for and I am not ashamed to say I purchased the $200 foudners pack this morning when it went on sale because it has items I want and guarentess me as early access as possible. Everthing the game is conveying is all the things I look forward to the most in an MMO. Mainly dungeon running, Action Combat and near unlimted themepark content in the form of a robust UGC (User-Generated-Content).

So for those of you that are holding your breath in anticipation of the invite (turning blue here Cryptic/PWE save a fellow) I've compiled a list of gameplay videos to take the edge off I apologize if there are duplicates however my eyes started to cross after awhile Also some of these are interviews with gameplay. For those of you that are interested the video with Athene speaking to Andy covers some things about PVP

The foundry in STO, back when the game was still P2P and had no restrictions, was amazing for an MMO. Sure it's not NWN toolset good, but, given that eveything has to be done serverside(to avoid hacking/manipulating the game, items, etc) it was good. Many people do not realize that the foundy in STO was not even their full fledged foundry that Neverwinter will have, as it was stated that it was more of a testbed of the foundry intself, and had a more limited approach. Yet, I saw some amazing missions written with that. If you play a game for fun, well written stories, I am sure Neverwinter will appeal, because the amount of qaulity player driven content is astounding. Ya, there is a lot of crap too, and even though STO had a rating system, the brave had to wade through the crap missions in order to find the good ones, rate them, and let the less brave just pick and choose from the better rated missions.
I am worried however about PWE and their notorious money laundrying (i mean P2P) scheme. They are a trash company that will put monetary gain FAR above their own players, far more then most other companies will. (Making money is one thing, nickel and diming and ripping players off is just greedy trash BS)
Let's hope the fact Neverwinter is catering more towards a western audience due to it's IP and foundry tools, tempers the approach of their typical blatant P2W mentality.

Try not! Do or do not. There is no try.
My 16 year old nephew could have written a more accurate article than this person!
That being said. I have to agree with many other posters here, I am very catious about PW and Cryptic attempting to cash in on beta hype. If this was a proper beta it would be enough to get free workers to help make the game better. NO beta should have a price to play on it! You are helping the developer make the game better before launch. This stinks to high heaven and I will not give them my cash until I see some game play results.
They have had long enough with this game with little evidence to the public of any results. They have pushed back their launch date numerous times. If it was a developer with a better track record with their games people could be more patient, but this is Cryptic and PW.
In D&D I do not recall cute vanity pets. I am dissapointed to see WoWesc crap in a D&D world!!!!! NO TO VANITY PETS. This is Forgotten Realms not cartoon time with Blizzard.

Its not a problem that its not NWN from Bioware - the problem is: The game is not DnD
You can always argue that there need to be adjustments to make it an MMO - i agree on that - but this game will not feel like DnD and will not be as much fun as DnD. You'll see. ;)
Monetization is every companies right. The issue here is, as you stated, how its implemented and how the company behaves. Looking at Perfect World and Cryptic you know how there stuff works after running into their "traps" once.
The Foundry is a feature that sounds so cool but will just end up being worth nothing in the end and just be a footnote of the game. Its not like this is the first game that is implementing player driven content. Its just trying to be more userfriendly then the games before.
Look at your own article: http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/36/view/reviews/load/46/Ryzom-Ring-Review.html
There is no evolution or revolution about the foundry - its just their try to slow down the issue of people running out of content. In STO there are a ton of player created stories, but people still complain about the content and what to really do (except grind 100% unimportant starbases and weapons which you don't need for any type of content as all content is supereasy no matter the difficulty you try it on). Quality endgame content to keep large groups of people occupied is nothing that will soon be managed by player driven content developers. Don't fool yourself in thinking that the foundry will somehow be able to change the mmo world or even make this game more of a success. I am in a disbelief.
I personally think that player driven content is not something you can box in missions. Its content you need to create for everyone to see, interact, live and take away. Player driven worlds are the things that will be the next big thing. Sandparks and Themeboxes will reign shortly until players will get a true themed sandbox which not only enables you to do what you want but also enjoy the game how you want it and empowers you to control the world in every diserable way.
EVE is promising in space. A great sandbox with a themed twist.
Archeage "might" be the first real deal in a fantasy setting we could enjoy.
Other then that... we'll have to actually wait and see what our small developers are able to push out into the wide world and what mechanics are that good and interesting for the big players to pick up and make a big AAA game.
Or Smedley makes a return and after learning (again) what they did wrong in games past (PS2 being the last one to have a huge flag of fail and success over its head)... "maybe" Everquest will save us from Questbased Themeparks and bring us a successfull Questbox.
We'll see. I love MMOs and will most likely play them til i die. As long as companies provide mie with platforms i might actually be allowed to enjoy my game time and not feel like a ripe orange ready to get juiced... or something such. ;)

got interested about the foundry system:
This here:
Q: Is The Foundry a modding tool?
When reading the paragraph of the article speaking about the foundry and the Aurora toolset. one of the big things that gave NWN many extra years in life was the CEP, made by the players.
I looked over the Foundry FAQ several times, unfortunately I did not see the answer i was looking for in the FAQ.
for those who used the foundry system, here is my question
Number of Players: How many players can the foundry hold, not just npc, but playable characters? you will have groups of RP communities and world building communities that will push the foundry to its limit and much more. there will no doubt be groups that would yearn to build worlds, if at least cities of their own for a good dozen or more people to run around in. 4 people of a party just to run around and fight is not enough, esspecially if the DM wants to create a story/event that would involve over a dozen people that seek to participate.
The question is geared towards RP and social versatility, though i understand that this game is not Neverwinter Nights, but Neverwinter, the name alone along with the world itself harbors many adventurous memories both in game when playing with others, and out of the game when creating worlds/stories and adventures with others.
you cant fastfood player content.

The original Neverwinter Nights was actually one of the first MMOs, running on AOL where we got to pay hourly fees to play. Ah, those were the days.
When we were licensing out Neverwinter to Bioware, we were concerned that there might be some negativity over the new Neverwinter not being an MMO. Bioware put those fears to rest though.
We'll see how the next generation of Neverwinters fares. :-)

Is New York City a better place to work than Charlotte? It depends on your priorities. For many people, the Big Apple with all its glamour and glitz may be the place they want to live. But if your goal is to maximize real income, the Queen City will be the better choice.
In public policy analysis, benchmarking is an important tool. We want to know how other jurisdictions are faring — be they cities, states, or nations. We want to know if they are spending their tax dollars more wisely or have a better model for delivering a particular service.
The problem, however, is that the basis for comparison often consists of raw data with the potential to mislead. Consider the case of metropolitan New York vs. metropolitan Charlotte. The average wage in the New York City-Long Island-Northern New Jersey region is $77,640. The average wage in the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill region is $57,506. If that's all you know, and your goal is to maximize income, the choice seems obvious. You'll earn 35 percent more by moving north.
In reality, however, a dollar of salary in New York simply doesn't go as far as a dollar of salary in Charlotte. There are wide variations in the prices of homes, apartments, transportation, taxes, and consumer goods. If you adjust for cost of living, as Joel Kotkin recently did for Forbes magazine, you will discover that real salaries average $61,636 in Charlotte, or 19 percent more than the average real salary of $50,169 in NYC.
Most local or state variations in cost of living aren't this dramatic. Nevertheless, they can be important in making informed choices — be it an individual choosing among job offers or lawmakers choosing among alternative public policies. Over the years, my John Locke Foundation colleagues have made this point repeatedly when discussing issues such as teacher compensation and housing regulation.
In today's increasingly integrated international economy, in fact, limiting the analysis to local or state variation can itself be unwise. As JLF's Terry Stoops demonstrated with an innovative study last year, comparing North Carolina's investment and return on public education with that of our international competitors is very revealing. When adjusted for such factors as cost of living and marginal tax rates, North Carolina's level of spending on public education is one of the highest in the world. Our level of academic performance is not.
For policymakers, there are two lessons to be learned from this kind of analysis. One of them is that cost matters a great deal. To the extent North Carolina keeps its housing costs, energy prices, transportation costs, taxes, or regulatory burden higher than its economic competitors, it reduces the real, cost-adjusted wages of North Carolinians. This will only make sense if the potential non-wage benefits of such policies exceed the value of wages lost. In most cases, the math doesn't work. We just end up with higher costs, not better services or outcomes.
The other lesson is that policymakers shouldn't make snap decisions based on simplistic lists or rankings. Instead, they should insist on apples-to-apples comparisons — the kind of comparisons that, in the case of real wages, take the shine off the Big Apple.

I have spent the last two years reading labels to determine if a product contains gluten or not. Although I am sure about the many items I use repeatedly, when I encounter a new product, it takes a lot of effort to comb through the ingredient label to decipher whether it is okay. Often, I have to look up information online to determine whether it is, in fact, gluten free. So it is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Zeer select to anyone who finds themselves wondering whether a particular item is gluten free.
ZEER select is a service that enables consumers to quickly and easily assess the gluten free status of 30,000 items in the supermarket. Not only does it tell you if an item is safe ("labeled as gluten free" or "appears to be gluten free,") It also recommends safe gluten free products for any item that isn't gluten free.

Ludicrous (Not the Rapper)
June 18, 2008, 10:38:22 AM »
I think this is a very nice piece by Martin Zender. Even if you/I don't agree with Martin on absolutely every doctrinal detail, I still think this is a very useful article. You may even want to use it as I have to ET believing family members. My poor, dear sister, who has been religiously and otherwise abused, said, "I never understood that. How a God they say loves everybody so much would just send them to hell to burn".
Martin's piece:
ludicrous: adj. provoking or deserving derision; amusingly absurd; ridiculous; comical; laughable. Random House Collegiate Dictionary
Does the doctrine of eternal torment "keep people in line," as many orthodox preachers insist it does? Does the threat of eternal torment "scare people into heaven?" as is commonly taught? Not that I can tell. In fact, the effect is quite the opposite. Allow me to provide this illustration:When a mother tells her child: "Spencer, if you disobey me, you're not leaving your room for the rest of your life!" Spencer laughs. He thinks to himself, "She can't possibly do that, I don't care if she does wear tight curlers all day." And Spencer is correct. Because it is ludicrous, the mother's threat does not deter Spencer's disobedience.Out goes Spencer to burn down the azalea bush.But what if Spencer's mother were to say: "Spencer, if you disobey me, you will not eat supper tonight." The boy turns sober. He thinks: "I know that she can and will do this." It is this, not the exaggerated threats of a rabid mother, that will curtail Spencer's behavior.Thus also with the doctrine of eternal torment. Eternal torment has God saying: "Make one mistake (not believing in Me), and I'll torture you for eternity!"The world knows how ridiculous that is. Witness: Have Christians, for all their trouble and preaching, reformed the world? Okey-dokey, then.
Get real, get Scriptural. Consider poor man, born unconsulted into a world of mortality and sin, thrust as a weak and trembling baby for a few short years into a cauldron of evil that conspires, from the start, to make a criminal of him. And so a criminal he becomes. Because of this, we are told, he is doomed to fiery agony for eternity becausecan we utter it?God Himself has locked him up in stubbornness (Rom. 11:32) and has purposely, for now anyway, withheld the faith necessary to believe in Him (see John 6:44, Phil. 1:29, and Rom. 12:3).The world mocks such an insane concept, and I congratulate the world for it. No Scripture, correctly translated, supports such a concept. Many Scriptures flatly deny it. It would be a joke, were it not preached in all earnestness from pulpits around the world.No, threats of "eternal punishment" do not deter evil. In fact, they increase it. Many turn from Christianity (or don't even consider it), not because they hate God, but because they hear from religious zealots (read: "Christians") that the Bible is supposed to teach such a horrible end to "God's great plan of salvation."Like Spencer and his appraisal of his mother's irrational threats, the world knows that no God worthy of the name would torture any of His creation eternally, especially not after a perfect sacrifice has been made for sin. In this, the children of darkness are wiser than the children of light. And so the world continues in its sin, more earnestly than ever.
Let's try the truth. But what if, instead of telling unscriptural lies about God, preachers and teachers of the Word were tocan we utter it?study that Word, and tell the world the truth? What if they were to tell unbelievers that their behavior is robbing them, not of eternal life (God sent His own Son to secure that for them), but of eonian life? (It is this word, not "eternal," that is the correct translation of the Greek adjective aionion). What if they tell unbelievers that they will not live during the future, glorious eon of the kingdom reign of Christ on earth? That they will be dead during the last great eon, when God creates a new heavens and a new earth and tabernacles with mankind? What if they tell them that they will rise to be judged at the great white throne, suffering affliction and distress there because of their wicked acts (Rom. 2:5-10), to be returned to death (Rev. 20:14-15) until the consummation (1 Cor. 15:26)? My God, are not these threats enough to satisfy those in Christianity who live to threaten people?But at least these threats, being reasonable and rational (not to mention a witness to the truth), would have a sobering effect on the sinner. The intelligent sinner is likely to say, "Now, this is reasonable, not ludicrous. How singular and unaccustomed I am to such things from the Christian camp. God probably will do this. He loves me enough to save me, but I shall first be separated from Him for the eons because of my acts. Even though I will enjoy eternal life with Him at the consummation, as will all (1 Cor. 15:28), I do not want to miss out on these glorious eons ("eonian life") these people are telling me about. I want to live with Christ during the thousand years. I want to taste of the pleasures of the new heavens and the new earth. Oh, God! Give me this life!"Just a suggestion, nothing more.

Actually, the fear of eternal torment does not keep a Christian in line. They still sin.
I heard a Pastor talk once that "getting saved" was only fire insurance to some and he was critical of those who "get saved" yet do not really seek a personal relationship with Christ.
I pointed out to him one time, not long ago as I found myself speaking out in rejection of Eternal Torment.
I said,
You may conform to what a terrorist forces you to do to save your life, but you will NEVER love him.

Amen Paul, and you will never truly love (or be able to forgive) others the way that God does if you can't see them through God's eyes... but can only see those who are doomed to hell, who God "also hates".

I read somewhere that Ted Haggard (sp?) who was a big shot evangelical leader claimed that "hell is central to the Christian faith" or some such thing. That's odd, wouldn't Jesus Christ be central to the Christian faith? Anyway, my point is, it was this same Ted Haggard who last year was caught in a drug/homosexual scandel of sorts. I don't judge him for this since all men have their weaknesses. But it is further evidence that even a strong belief in eternal torment will not keep one from sin. Only Jesus can keep us from sin.

When you are ALL OUT, this stuff comes in handy.
I may shoot the tree squirrels here till they run out with the Marlin .22CAL. After we clean them all out, who knows?
If you have a freeze dried something you can throw into a boiling pot of water and eat, More power to you!
Better collect a few things here folks. It is coming for sure!
Be ready for it.
They are not kidding about the constipation. We used to think it was the cheese spread or peanut butter that plugged you up. Can't say for sure, but we used to avoid eating those spreads back in the 80's. I've noticed that the menu's have gotten more diverse since then, but it used to take me 3 days or so before I could down MRE's any time I was deployed in the 80's.
It's the massive amount of sodium in them that plugs you up, which ain't a bad think if you're covering a checkpoint of any sort.
Anywhere in the range of the equivalent of 8-12 canteens of water keeps the works going though, the poop will just be a bit darker than normal.
One thing many folks may not be aware of is that rations are designed for one of two things. First, if you can eat low residue food, there's less to crap out, and thus less crap. This makes living in the field easier. However, low residue food is usually bland as hell (ask me how I know!) and the long inactivity of the bowel can be downright dangerous health-wise (again, I found this one out the hard way). So they go for second - very high in fiber and non-digestible residue, which means the crap is very compacted and solid. This reduces significantly the amount of sanitary cleanup required. And of course, less traces of human occupation in an area. Clean-breakers don't take a lot of ass-wipe... Of course, if you've got hemorrhoids, delivering an anal brick is going to be totally un-fun.
I'm guessing that for long-range covert missions, the rations would fall back to the low-residue. One can eat a sufficient caloric intake and only have to crap after several days.
Q - What is Bambi?
A - Viable Target
On the constipation issue, I have read that the government "engineered" them that way...they refer to them as being "low residue". I guess if you think about it, when in a combat situation, you wouldn't want to have to hit the crapper too often.
There's also the "pucker factor" to consider in battle.
do I *really* want to go while Ivan/Achmed/Ling-ling is scoping me out?
I have a daughter. I tell her, "911 is what you dial after you're raped. 1911 is what you should have before they try."
Anyone remember MCI rations? How come I always ended up with the canned spam? Took me years to get that taste outta my mouth.

Her mirror is rare and unique.
But for her eyes only and no one to see.
She carries her mirror everywhere that she may be.
This mirror shows her what she has become and what she needs to be.
Her reflections are not always beauty and bliss.
They are reminders of what she will miss.
Images of her son dancing, giggling, and holding her hand.
She can only imagine him becoming a handsome young man.
Her reflections always have a shadow of pain.
This shadow darkens her reflections even to hear his name.
So she closes her eyes and hopes to see her son safe and free.
When she opens her eyes, her reflections are clear for what she needs to be.
Her reflections of her daughter come in clear.
Images that tell her to be grateful that she is here.
So she showers her daughter with love and happiness.
She only hopes her daughter will never know such sadness.

The scoreboard in Death Valley read 27-17 when the final gun sounded Saturday and only one Aiken Standard reader saw that coming.
Retired Aiken resident Jim Ross earned an extra $150 for the holidays after being the only contestant to pick the exact score of Saturday's South Carolina win over Clemson.
"How about that, that's amazing," Ross said upon being told he was the winner of the "Guess the Score" contest in Aiken Standard.
"I just sat there while I filled it out and kept thinking about the score based on the games I've seen and the way they've played," Ross said. "I'm a Carolina fan, so I wanted them to win, too."
While Ross was watching the game as intensely as other South Carolina residents across the state, he also had the score he had picked in the back of his mind as the game wore down.
"When it was over, I told my wife Carol, 'I think I won the Aiken Standard (contest)' and she didn't believe me," Ross said.
Ross moved to Aiken roughly 53 years ago and has been retired from the Federal Aviation Administration since 1997.
Although he knew had picked Saturday's score correctly, he still had doubts he would actually win the prize.
"I was hoping more than expecting. I had a feeling it'd probably be a draw," Ross said. "I talked to a couple people who said that it was a pretty common score."
Now Ross is not only a little richer, he also owns bragging rights until next year's Battle of the Palmetto State as the only one in Aiken to pick the score dead on.
Editor's note: This version of this story has been changed to correct where the Carolina-Clemson game was held. The Aiken Standard regrets the error.

CHURUBUSCO — Churubusco's girls basketball team lost to the Central Noble Lady Cougars earlier in January in the Northeast Corner Conference tournament. The Lady Eagles lost that game at home, 39-36.
'Busco had a second chance at the 2-16 Lady Cougars Saturday, on the Lady Eagles' senior night.
'Busco trailed by one with 20 seconds in the ball game, but were unable to connect with the basket in the time remaining, and lost 34-30.
With the score 31-30 in favor of Central Noble and 30 seconds left on the clock, the Lady Cougars were called for traveling after Lady Eagle sophomore Cassidy Perlich attempted to steal the ball. 'Busco head coach Jamie Perlich called a timeout with 20 seconds to go in the fourth quarter.
Following the timeout, the Lady Eagles inbounded the ball under Central Noble's basket. A last-ditch effort by 'Busco fell short, and the Lady Cougars came up with the rebound, forcing 'Busco to foul.
Central Noble's Kennedy Forker hit both of her double-bonus free throws, widening the margin to three at 33-30.
With 18 seconds remaining in the game, the Lady Eagles wouldn't get an opportunity to tie the score, as a 'Busco turnover returned the possession to Central Noble.
Tiffany Simcox, the Lady Cougars' leading scorer of the night, was fouled shooting with five seconds on the clock. She hit one of her two free throws to put the game out of reach for the Lady Eagles, 34-30.
After the game, coach Perlich said the play he drew up during the timeout in the last minute the fourth quarter didn't completely come to fruition.
'Busco falls to 3-16 on the season, with a 2-7 record against NECC opponents.
The Lady Eagles were led in scoring by Montana Martin with 10 points, seven of which came in the fourth quarter. She went 5-for-7 in free throws.
'Busco will get one more shot at win number four, as the Lady Eagles play their last game of the 2012-2013 regular season at Lakeland Friday at 6 p.m. in a NECC tilt with the Lady Lakers.

The times, they are a changin', friends. McFarlane Toys will not attend the annual International Toy Fair -- held every February in New York City - in 2003.
There are several reasons for this. Toy Fair itself has changed to a degree. When McFarlane Toys first began attending the event, it was mostly for buyers to get their orders in for the coming year. That is no longer the case. Now Toy Fair is more of a public relations and media event, and buyers don't depend on that week to get orders in.
Fact is, the spawn.com headquarters is in the process of moving to a new, larger facility. Once the move is complete, we'll have a permanent showroom onsite for media, buyers and, yes, fans, too. That'll be sure to put Phoenix on the destination map for something other than winter golf. Our Todd McFarlane Entertainment operation will be joining us in this new facility from Los Angeles.
While PR and media are definitely very important parts of our business, we feel we can handle that part of Toy Fair more efficiently from our sunny Arizona headquarters. The timing was just right for this change, as our facility will offer space to create our own Toy Fair event and the lease was up on our Manhattan office building.
For the average consumer and spawn.com-ophile, very little will change this year. There will still be a big splash on spawn.com just like every year. More details on that as the time draws closer.
PR and media folks will still have the opportunity to meet and interview Todd, and view our upcoming products. Only this year, they'll have the pleasure of coming to Phoenix rather than battle the bitter cold of NYC.
Again, we'll provide more details on these changes as Toy Fair times draws nearer.

By mcrement from USA on 2011-08-15 13:48:11Things I liked:Balance and feel R great. Gun is accurate out to 100 yards using PREDATOR BALLISTIC TIP PELLETS. Love power adjustment for close quarters shooting. PCP tanks R easy to fill with hand pump. The composite for-end stays tight and is scratch resistant. Adjustable swivel bipod is a great added feature for accuracy. Trigger is styled after a target trigger and is crisp and smooth. No recoil like a spring gun, none at all. Air Force Mil Dot scope is perfect on this gun. This is, in my opinion the best and most powerful, accurate adult air gun on the market today. Very cool looking like an AR15.
Things I would have changed:The Condor shooting under high power is pretty loud. Would not mind if gun was quieter. Other than that the gun is perfect the way it is.
What others should know:This is a one shot, one kill or bulls-eye air gun. (Period) I shot squirrels at seventy yards with PREDATOR BALLISTIC TIP PELLETS and they are toast. If you are looking for an adult air gun to plink or to hunt this is it. VARIABLE POWER, very reliable, dependable and most of all "accurate". If you miss with this gun, its not the gun, its you. Go in your basement, backyard or range and practice. One more thing don't be afraid of using a bi-pod or rest for any shot no matter how close or how fare, we all do it. It makes us better shots and more consistent, think about it. Good Shooting to all.

By Ronald from USA on 2013-07-13 14:25:39Things I liked:Accuracy, power, multiple configurations
Things I would have changed:Cheap grip, barrels should come threaded on all barrels. Wheel should be deeper grooved, wore out my thumb going from 3 to 9 on power wheel.
What others should know:Started with a .177 Tallon SS, graduated to a Condor .22, Luxuriated in a recent Condor Bounty .25. Bit of a let down, thought I would be in heaven, maybe I was already there! Increased caliber did not do it for me, only buy this caliber if you are really going hunting. Swapped out my 12 inch Tallon .177 barrel for a 24 inch .177, now I know I'm in heaven. New gun, nice to hear your trigger and pellet hitting the target at nearly the same time! I think velocity rather than caliber does it for me! Accuracy unchanged, superb! Haven't yet checked for range, suspect that is where the .25 caliber will come into it's own, less subject to wind drift I would think. Footnote, cost more than my Smith and Wesson AR 15-22 Performance, just as much fun, and I can shoot it in my back yard.
