wish I could enjoy this game... tried coming back 3 times.. tried playing like it was just a single player game.. tried everything.. i just can't find a way to force myself to enjoy it... why try and force myself? it's STAR WARS obviously.. i'm as big of a star wars fanboy as they come which makes not being able to find any enjoyment from it even more depressing...:(
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall.

My long time co-op partner said he doesn't have time for MMO's at all anymore, but I found my guild there waiting and seems like things are picking back up from where I left them without a hitch.

The game is good for a few months, and even at the start it was all postive with review scores at 8-9.5 / 10, but then after people played it for a few months that is when all the negativity started, as the game is a MMO and not a single player game. If the game was a good MMO people would not have quit, which resulted in it going F2P
I bet a lot of people were really just waiting for F2P as opposed to "listening to the haters", and the constant drops in population (1.7 million to 1.3 million to [500k to 1 million] subs by EA) spoke louder than any negativity from "haters" and if so then those comments are being taken too seriously.
If the subs went up instead, I bet they would have played sooner.
If they started playing at F2P, then they will probably quit too in a few months, although If they are playing the game for free, then may play it longer, as costing nothing to play, and the restrictions slow down progression, but it still does not get the revenue that EA needs.
After playing Dragon Age again, it plays the same as SWTOR but without a monthly fee. Both DA and SWTOR are good, but DA wins as does not have a monthly fee, nor is restricited in any way, or better yet just play KOTOR.
If each class had their own side quests, then it would have been better, but once you have done two chars cobvering both factions, then a 3rd char is replaying 90% of the same content, and when you have to pay for it, it makes the sub fee too much, so hooray for F2P, where you can level up new toons in your own time, without feeling you are paying to play the same content.

SWTOR is the same game as Dragon Age, but SWTOR is a star wars sci-fi setting, and Dragon Age is fantasy. They both have story and dialogue choices, and companions.
Mass Effect is the same, and even closer as it is sci-fi based and the ship travel system is very similar too
I only said that DA / Mass Effect is better than SWTOR as it has a monthly fee or restricted F2P. If you take away the monthly fee or do not care about it, then all games are similar. SWTOR is bigger but its content is mostly copied and pasted whereas everything in ME and DA is all unique
SWTOR is not like any other MMO at all, and the quests you do are set to your own class, whereas in other MMOs, you can do practically every quest in the game. In LOTRO as a hobbit I could do quests on the elves side, plus the worlds are more explorable. SWTOR plays like Biowares single player games, and not worthy of a monthly fee, especially after a few months.

Oh dont listen to him. Two glaring thing show what he is 1) His signature 2) His post history. He was wasted over a year bashing Swtor a game he doesnt play. When it 1st went f2p he posted the servers will be dead in a month. Well three months in servers full at peak times and after the next update and then the expansion the servers will still be healthy. He will just come up with some other excuse beside the truth that a lot of people enjoy swtor and it will be around for a long time. He usually just copy/pastes from other haters unfortunately this site does not do much to weed them out, but when you call them out watch how you do it cause they are quick to pounce on those that do.

I am also back to SWTOR. Tried TERA-bad, The Secret World, GW2, Path of Exile. Even re-subbed Wow got to 90 and said, why am I not playing SWTOR?! It is clearly more enjoyable than all of these.
And yet soooo much repeat hate about SWTOR. The best news for me is I'm not listening to the haters anymore. I'll just enjoy my game.
Bye bye haters.

I'm also back and enjoying the game since it went ftp. Lasted 2 days at ftp before sub. I'm not a hardcore SW fan, even so it's a nice alternative to the fantasy games I also play. I like the cartel options allot of fun goodies. Zones have been packed and it's nice to see population no matter where you go. Wish the game continued success.

Brought to you by... The Spirit of Nikopol.
I have little problem with what they have in there, so it's always playable to me. I can just get hooked on a class story and keep on. And the combat isn't bad to me at all as far as your run-of-the-mill MMORPG combat goes. So I keep playing this on and off. It has some good characters in it and suspenseful, epic, funny moments.
What keeps bugging me is actually what they don't have in there. What they don't have in there happens to be a good part of what I'd like to see in a Star Wars MMO. Things like space exploration and trading, podracing, actual bounty hunting and smuggling, the option to become an outlaw with either or both of the factions, being able to get different abilities depending on what side of the Force you are (and how far - come on KOTOR had this!), some freedom in choosing what abilities you have and what armor and weapons you wield (KOTOR had this, too!), day/night cycles and weather system, atmospheric flight...
Playing Age of Wushu, I couldn't help but feel how well some of the features there would fit right into a Star Wars MMO. It has a working bounty system for Jabba's sake! And another system for kidnapping players!
Though of course, it is what it is now. I guess I'll keep checking in and playing now and again, all the while hoping for some smart moves that will make it feel like more of a Star Wars gameworld...
As I'll admit I'd still rather play this than most other MMOs out there at the moment.

Considering that one of the problems they were having was the small server populations I would imagine that increasing the specs of the game might not be the best move for the game in general.
A shame that they're still heavily favouring Jedi/Sith classes. After playing each to 50 (except the Vanguard/Powertech) before I left I got to notice the class imbalances. I guess it makes sense from a business view that you would please the larger player base at the expense of the minority, it's just a pity for those who prefer to play non Jedi-Sith classes. Though I also suppose it makes sense from a lore perspective if the Jedi/Sith are stronger lol.

My 6 month old had a fever the other night....I have a copy of Dr. Mendelson's How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of your Doctor which I refer to frequently.
He emphasizes that a fever is a good thing, and a sign that the body's immune system is kicking in. He recommends NOT giving fever reducing medicine, or doing anything to bring down the fever, but letting it run its course. He also suggests that most bacterial infections can be handled by our bodies and do not require antibiotics, where the risks can outweigh the benefits.
So, when my 6 month old got a fever, we went to the dr (we live in a malaria area so we always do a malaria check if any of us gets a fever) - she said it's just a bacterial infection and gave us an antibiotic.
The next night, my baby was awake several times in the night with a fever of around 103. I kept going back and forth about whether i should give tylenol and antibiotic or not...in the end, I decided not to, the baby was fine the next morning and hasn't had a fever since.
My husband and mom don't understand my hesitation to give tylenol and are always making me question my choices to not give meds.
How do you handle fevers in your little ones? DO you let them run their course, or give medicine? Are you confident in the way you handle these illnesses?
Loving wife to DH and mama to DD (11/08) and DS (2/12) and expecting another little boy (4/15)
She hasn't needed antibiotics for anything so far (she's 2 years old) but I wouldn't hesitate to use them if I felt they were warranted. And, if I started them, I would complete the course.
I do feel confident about how we treat her but i am an ED nurse and my DH is an ED nurse practitioner so we have a bit of an advantage there I think.
Mother of two spectacular girls, born mid-2010 and late 2012
The fevers are usually short and viral in nature. For the rare occasions that they seem related to bacterial infection, I do agree to and complete the course of antibiotics. That rarely happens and generally only with the one kid who has always been more susceptible to strep.
Same here, I only give her an antipyretic when she starts looking miserable.
Fever a sign the body is in a healing phase, I therefore never medicate because it interferes with the natural process and wisdom of the body. My two unvaccinated children as babies, rarely, I would like to say never, but it was quite a long while ago, had fevers. My eldest had fevers that were the result of vaccination, and unfortunately, I did give Tylenol because I did not know better at the time. I feel totally comfortable not medicating my children's fevers because the integrity of their immune (healing support) system has never been breached through vaccination, and feel confident their body is working as it is supposed to. My children are never sick for longer than a couple of days. If they do get a fever, I try and keep them calm and warm under blankets and as comfortable as I can. None of my three children have ever required antibiotics for a bacterial infection (not that I would give them, there are better options IMO).
Depending on why they have a fever , I would either wait it out , if it doesn´t go too high and / or they are obviously miserable , but if they have no pain together with fever and it does go to a ( for me ) dangerous level , I would try naturally cooling the body first , by applying cool ( not cold ! ) compresses and plenty of ( also not too cold fluids )
If their fever was caused by an infection , I would give them antibiotics as prescribed and the full course , never reduce or stop , once they feel better and also if they are in pain , give them something against it .
Yes , fever is a sign , the body is reacting to something wrong , but why let my baby ( or my older kids ) suffer unnecessarily ?
after 3 cs Happily single Mom
Thanks for the replies - Dr Mendelson quoted a study in his book that when they artifically induced fevers in animals, they healed faster. When they reduced their fevers, their illness lasted longer and more of them died. So he argues to never give fever reducing medicine and that the body self regulates and unless the fever is caused by poisoning or some other unlikely events, the fever will not get high enough to cause bodily harm. His book was written in the 80s so I'm wondering if there are any more recent studies that either support or disprove this.
Mirzam - What do you give as an alternative to antibiotics?
Loving wife to DH and mama to DD (11/08) and DS (2/12) and expecting another little boy (4/15)
That is not EXACTLY true , if a fever gets too high , small children can suffer from febrile seizures , so , yes fever is ( most of the time ) a good thing and shows , that the body is fighting back , but there are occasions , where it can get too much for a small person to handle
after 3 cs Happily single Mom
I have never given my children any form of antibiotics because they have never been needed. However, I am prone to abscesses and always take colloidal silver which generally resolves them in about two days. I have also given my dog colloidal silver for a gastric upset, probably due to eating some deer poop, again, it resolved the issue within two days. The best answer is to ensure the body is in optimal health, through an immune system that has not been breached by vaccines , a natural whole foods diet, that is very low in sugar, devoid of GMOs and fluoride free, add plenty of sunshine, fresh air and low stress. That way, the body won't have any problem dealing with bacteria. If generally sickly, the most important thing to do is to heal the gut, which if antibiotics and vaccines have been given, isn't easy unfortunately. Bacteria are not the cause of sickness, they are present to assist the body breakdown or build up cells, so play an important role in the healing process. If things get out of hand it is because the body is struggling due to being compromised, then some intervention might be warranted. Flemming cautioned that antibiotics (anti life) should not be used routinely and should only be reserved for life threatening cases.
That is not EXACTLY true , if a fever gets too high , small children can suffer from febrile seizures , so , yes fever is ( most of the time ) a good thing and shows , that the body is fighting back , but there are occasions , where it can get too much for a small person to handle
This might be the case if the child is not in optimal health to begin with, ie the "immune system" has been skewed via vaccines or the gut has been compromised by antibiotics, or is malnourished or highly stressed. The body is not a moron, it will not harm or damage itself unless it has been compromised in some way and is reacting abnormally to challenges.
Tonttu - Dr Mendelson argues that while frightening, febrile seizures do not have long term negative effects on children. He says that febrile seizures are caused by a rapid rise in temperature, and not by a high temperature in itself. Therefore, he says once you notice the fever has jumped, it's too late for fever reducing medicine to reduce the risk of seizures.
I think I am struggling with this just because what Dr Mendelson says makes a lot of sense to me, but it's so different than mainstream thinking about fevers and illness.

Then I think , Dr. Mendelson should look at the cases of children , who´s fevers have gradually gone up and then caused seizures .
The problem with seizures is , that ANYONE who ever had one , whatever the reason , has a lot higher risk in the future to have seizures again .
And for me , that is a long - term negative effect , since seizures , even supposedly mild ones can cause brain damage and other problems .
after 3 cs Happily single Mom
Tonttu - I don't know anything about febrile seizures, but after reading your post I googled febrile seizures to see if in fact they can cause long term effects. So far, all of the mainstream medicine pages i'm reading say that the seizures are scary but harmless. To quote a few:
While they can be frightening, febrile seizures usually end without treatment and don't cause any other health problems. Having one doesn't mean that a child will have epilepsy or brain damage. http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/sick/febrile.html
Are febrile seizures harmful?
Although they can be frightening to parents, the vast majority of febrile seizures are short and harmless. During a seizure, there is a small chance that the child may be injured by falling or may choke from food or saliva in the mouth. Using proper first aid for seizures can help avoid these hazards (see section entitled "What should be done for a child having a febrile seizure?").
There is no evidence that short febrile seizures cause brain damage. Large studies have found that children with febrile seizures have normal school achievement and perform as well on intellectual tests as their siblings who don't have seizures. Even when seizures are very long (more than 1 hour), most children recover completely, but a few might be at risk of subsequent seizures without fever (epilepsy).
In other words, between 95 and 98 percent of children who experience febrile seizures do not go on to develop epilepsy. However, although the absolute risk remains small, some groups of children--including those with cerebral palsy, delayed development, or other neurological abnormalities--have an increased risk of developing epilepsy. The type of febrile seizure also matters; children who have prolonged febrile seizures (particularly lasting more than an hour) or seizures that affect only part of the body, or that recur within 24 hours, are at a somewhat higher risk. Among children who don't have any of these risk factors, only one in 100 develops epilepsy after a febrile seizure. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/febrile_seizures/detail_febrile_seizures.htm
A febrile seizure is a convulsion in a child triggered by a fever.
A febrile seizure can be very frightening for any parent or caregiver. However, most of the time, they do not cause any harm and does not mean the child has a more serious long-term health problem....The first febrile seizure is a frightening moment for parents. Most parents are afraid that their child will die or have brain damage. However, simple febrile seizures are harmless. There is no evidence that they cause death, brain damage, epilepsy, a decrease in IQ, or learning problems. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001975/
Loving wife to DH and mama to DD (11/08) and DS (2/12) and expecting another little boy (4/15)
It's not just Dr Mendelson, even as-mainstream-as-they-come AAP says the same things on their website (healthychildren.org). Febrile seizures are a very rare occurrence and are not related to high fevers, they can occur at the very early stages and altough scary to watch are almost never harmful to the child. Also, the percentage of kids who have febrile seizures and other types of seizures (epileptic etc.) is very very low, so even if a child has febrile seizures at some point, that doesn't mean there are other underlying issues.
I did not say , they cause epilepsy , what I said , if you read my post carefully , is that anybody who ever had a seizure is at HIGHER RISK of having one again .
That is a difference !
after 3 cs Happily single Mom
Do you have anything to support that be cause I have never found anything which suggests that typical febrile convulsions increase the risk of future seizures. *Atypical* febrile convulsions yes but not typical.
Mother of two spectacular girls, born mid-2010 and late 2012
I didn't say they cause epilepsy either, I was just referring to the fact that many parents worry that if their kid has a febrile seizure it could mean they have other problems too (one of those might be epilepsy), whereas febrile seizures usually resolve on their own as the child grows and are very rarely associated with other brain issues.
I leave a fever unmedicated until it's time for me to go to sleep. I can't sleep in fear that a fever will spike to a dangerous level without me being aware, so I give IBproufen for a fever at bedtime. That being said- I only medicate fevers for one dosage. Anything over 104, and it's a trip to the doctor, urgent care, or the ER- whatever is open. My family tends to run low, so 104 is really high for us. DD's average resting temp is 96.6.

SIDS happens.
I do not reduce fever. From what I understand, morbidity and mortality increase when fever is reduced.
From what I have read, the body will not exceed a safe temp, the only exceptions are hyperthermia due to external reasons (ex. hot car) or poisoning. Fever is all too important in the body's defense against pathogens. Reduce the fever and allow the infection to increase, so to remove that important immune defense is a risk. I have made my son more comfortable by wetting his head, with warm water not cold, in order for the evaporation to cool his head. I have been able to nurse him back to sleep after that.
He will be 3 y.o. in the fall, and I hope that we have seen the worst of fevers. He had no fever for the first 14 months and then between 14 and 24 he had a few, fortunately no illnesses beyond mild ones. I really do believe that fever (along with breastfeeding) has been very important in keeping him healthy.

Carson Kelly's run-scoring single in the bottom of the 12th inning propeled the Peoria Chiefs to a 2-1 win over the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Saturday in Midwest League action.
Peoria opened the scoring in the first inning and the Rattlers answered in the fourth. Michael Ratterree singled with one out and stole second. Rafael Neda then lined a single to left to drive in the tying run.
The game then stayed tied at 1-1 until the 12th.On deck ...

HANOVER, N.H. - Sophomore Mike Daly (South Burlington, Vt.) scored his first collegiate game-winning goal and the Crusaders recorded three power play goals as the Holy Cross men's hockey team defeated Dartmouth, 4-2, in the third-place game of the Ledyard National Bank Classic at Thompson Arena on the campus of Dartmouth on Sunday afternoon. With the win, the Crusaders improve to 5-10-4 overall and wrap up their regular season non-conference schedule, while the Big Green fall to 3-10-0. Daly, who also had an assist, was named to the all-tournament team.
The Crusaders took a 1-0 lead with 2:50 remaining in the first period when senior Rob Forshner (Sundre, Alberta) scored on the power play for his second goal of the season. Junior Mark Znutas (Emerson, N.J.) and sophomore Luke Miller (Andover, Mass.) earned assists. For the period, Dartmouth outshot Holy Cross, 10-6, while the Crusaders went 1-2 on the power play and the Big Green went 0-3.
Holy Cross increased its lead to 2-0 at 1:32 of the second period with its second power play goal of the contest. Sophomore Jay Silvia (Burlington, Mass.) knocked in a loose puck from in front of the net for his sixth goal of the season. Sophomore Matt Gordon (Perth, Ontario) and Daly each had assists. Dartmouth made it a 2-1 score when Kyle Reeds scored on a rebound at 12:41. Each team took 11 shots, while Holy Cross went 1-3 on the man-advantage and Dartmouth went 0-1.
The Crusaders regained their two-goal advantage with their third power play goal of the afternoon when Daly fired a slap shot from the blue line past Dartmouth goalie Jody O'Neill at 1:31 of the third period for his first goal of the season. Sophomore Matt Clune (Toronto, Ontario) and Silvia recorded assists. With 1:23 left, Dustin Walsh scored for the Big Green as Dartmouth went with an empty net to make the score 3-2. With seven seconds remaining senior Brodie Sheahan (Lethbridge, Alberta) posted an empty-net goal for his sixth goal of the season for the 4-2 final score. Junior Jordan Cyr (Winnipeg, Manitoba) assisted on the goal.
Holy Cross freshman goalie Thomas Tysowsky (Amherst, N.Y.) stopped a season-best 36 shots to improve to 5-8-4, while O'Neill made 23 saves and is now 3-9-0. The Crusaders went 3-7 on the power play and the Big Green went 0-7, while Dartmouth outshot Holy Cross, 38-27.
The Crusaders return to action on Jan. 8-9 when they travel to Rochester, N.Y., to play a two-game series with Atlantic Hockey opponent RIT at 7:00 p.m. The Tigers lead the season series, 1-0-1.

Quincy, M.E. – a homage
This is a re-written version of a blogpost that I put up on northerndoctor.com back in 2008. The death of Jack Klugman seems an appropriate time to post a small tribute.
Kick back and enjoy the classic opening theme for a minute. It's a proper little earworm – I'll be humming it for days now. Doo doo-doodoo doo dooo!
One of my resolutions when teaching medical students is to stop making cultural references that are likely to be met with blank looks. Partly because it baffles the students – most of them were not born when Quincy was in his pomp – but mainly because it is mildly depressing for me.
Quincy, M.E. is the reason I am a doctor.
With no doctors in my family, and in the pre-internet universe (how did we cope?), my view of the medical profession was limited to 1980s television. That really didn't extend much beyond Quincy, early Casualty and that programme, Doctors to Be, that followed some St Mary's medical students through their course. That really was it. Exposure to Quincy at such an impressionable age meant that I initially assumed I would go on to be a forensic pathologist. The postmortem scenes may look tepid by today's maggot-ridden standards but at the time they were thrillingly morbid. However, when I arrived at medical school in 1992 I was very quickly disillusioned after about 5 minutes into our first histology lesson. Squinting down microscopes at pinkish-purplish blobs with my defective colour vision meant pathology quickly lost any glamorous associations with Quincy.
Klugman was magnificent as the character and Quincy remains a great, albeit fictional, role model. He was phenomenally tenacious with exemplary clinical skills. Most importantly, he had a moral compass second to none. All of this was allied to an ability to sniff out a corporate murder from the other side of the county. He was also a bit of a one for the ladies and he enjoyed a good rant at stifling bureaucracy. What a legend.Read More

Costume includes:
The Grim Reap Beer Bottle Costume includes a black beer bottle overall made from light weight fabric which features a hole for the face and a gold bottle cap. The bottle simply pulls on over the top of the head.
Also included is a detachable label with a sinister Grim Reaper figure and tombstones printed on the front. The label boasts the eerie slogan 'IT'S CALLING TIME...'
Although our model is wearing the bottle as it comes, the size and design means it can also be worn over everyday clothes especially on a cold October night.
We have used a Zombie makeup theme to the face to give this surreal effect.

I Have A 1988 Toyota 4 Cylinder,22r Engine, Water In The Oil Pan & Oil In The Radiator.Posted in Crank, Oil and Piston
I need to know if this model has an oil cooler.
I need to know if this model has an oil cooler.
next time take your car to a qualified mechanic to change the oil and flush the radiator
No oil cooler…blown head gasket or cracked block…..
What you need to know is that you have crack in the engine . Next best thing to do for you is to scrap that car and get your self another junk to keep you occupied .
do a compression test to verify if the head gasket is blown…
Common problem with 22Rs and 22REs is that the timing chain guides are plastic, and after 100k or so, they tend to break off. Then the chain slaps into the timing cover, eventually wearing through to the water jacket for the water pump, allowing coolant to get into the oil. Did you notice any strange noises appear in your engine over the last little while? http://www.lcengineering.com/technotes/index.php?p=view&catid=2&id=15 ^(http://www.carparts21.com/goto/http://www.lcengineering.com/technotes/index.php?p=view&catid=2&id=15) If this is your problem, you will need a new timing cover, guides, the chain is probably stretched, so you'll want to replace that and the sprockets, and a chain tensioner. The factory chain is a single row chain, and isn't particularly durable, so I would advise going to LC engineering for their double row chain and steel guides, this kit has everything you need, timing cover, chain, guides, new water pump and oil pump, gaskets, everything.
http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGear/ProductDetails.aspx?PartUniqueID=A9D48148-B48B-4888-A3AC-36DAAF7F3DBC ^(http://www.carparts21.com/goto/http://www.toyotacatalog.net/M1WebGear/ProductDetails.aspx?PartUniqueID=A9D48148-B48B-4888-A3AC-36DAAF7F3DBC)
This is one of the few cases where factory parts aren't the best choice, the new toyota guides are still plastic, and still crap. This is a lot cheaper than stock, if you got all the same parts from toyota, you'd probably be in 1000 dollar range. Labor for a 2wd carbureted truck is 9.2 hours, turbo or fuel injection is 10.2, 4×4 is 13.0 hours. Shop rates vary, 75 to 100 bucks an hour around here. Good luck
Sounds like you have a cracked engine block as well as a blown head gasket. Maybe even a cracked head. Good luck.

I tried using autohotkey to launch circle dock and ran into issues. My issue is that if I just run it, it shows then disappears because it is already run. How do you run it so it would just launch it? Probably simple thing.

Re: Is SOPA bad?
I'm not being hostile Jones. Really I'm not.
The last time I left Drummerworld for months it was because of stuff regarding downloading/the music industry. Don't infer my posts as being hostile, that's just you projecting feelings onto words that aren't there! See now I could infer from your words that you were getting defensive because I was talking with confidence. But of course that isn't the case at all.
let me type my mantra; do not debate illegal downloading on random forums. waste of time.
See it's past the point where I even need to debate the "points of view" on this subject, I simply give my opinion. If my opinion is of any value then people can read it, otherwise they can keep calm and carry on. No skin off my back!
See, if I am for illegal downloading, then why do I even need to worry about those against it? Remember, the majority of young people are on my side, and i don't like big businesses that want to steal my money!

Seahawks 43, Broncos 8: Seattle dominates Super Bowl XLVIII
Suffice to say nobody saw this coming.
Super Bowl XLVIII was less a clash of titans, more a coronation. The Hawks dispatched of the Broncos in convincing fashion, and left no doubt as to who rules the NFL landscape.
Seattle dominated from the opening whistle: the Legion of Boom-led defense imposed its will on Peyton Manning and the record-breaking Broncos offense; Russell Wilson was efficient and composed against an overmatched Denver defense; and Percy Harvin gave the team a special spark on special teams.
The Hawks win was the third-largest margin of victory in Super Bowl history — all the more surprising given just how close the contest was expected to be (the Broncos were favored by less than a field goal going in).
So what are we taking away from the Seahawks' first championship in franchise history? Click through the gallery to find out, and let us know how you feel in the comments section below.

The Post-Dispatch Article That Made Joe Buck Cry
He resides among the cellar dwellers in RFT's St. Louis Sports-Media Power Rankings (at No. 44 in our list of 50), but Dan Caesar can still throw a punch.
Dan Caesar in 1990, the year he humiliated a wannabe broadcaster.
In fact, in a tussle back in 1990, the Post-Dispatch sports-media critic once made Joe Buck (No. 8 in RFT's ranking) cry.
Sports Illustrated leaked details of the sports-media shocker in last week's magazine that profiled Buck as he prepared to call the World Series for FOX Sports. The story mentioned how Buck's dad (the late, great voice of the Cardinals, Jack Buck) steered his son toward the broadcast booth. By the age of 21, the young Buck (pardon the expression; it's unavoidable) was well on his way to achieving stardom when Caesar weighed in on the matter. As SI writes:
Joe was ready for every part of the job except this: "Why is a kid, still in college, showing up on what many broadcast people consider the premier local team network in baseball?" Dan Caesar wrote in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch in June 1990. "The reason is simple. And it's spelled B-U-C-K."
Joe read the column and cried.
And that's not all Caesar wrote. In the same article he added:
A terrible re-enactment of Joe Buck crying.
- "But the burning question is why is Joe Buck, at age 21, being force-fed to Cardinals fans?"
- "In a highly competitive, sometimes vicious field, how many people would take vacation, a leave of absence or even quit their job to do even a few Cardinals broadcasts?...Would that chance be taken with any other unproven announcer?"
- "Joe Buck makes it clear where he wants to end up. [St. Louis] Maybe. Eventually. But not at age 21, even in a limited role. It just doesn't sit right."

- 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Peel the potatoes and cut into uniform 1/2-inch pieces. Place into a 4-quart saucepan and cover with cold water by at least 1-inch. Cover, set over high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove the lid, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the potatoes can easily be crushed with a pair of tongs, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Drain in a colander.
Put the cream, butter, salt and pepper into the now empty 4-quart saucepan and place back over the heat until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat and set a food mill fitted with the smallest die, on top of the pot. Add 1 cup of potatoes at a time to the mill. Once all of the potatoes have passed through the mill, stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Serve immediately.

Rose Hotel guests tend to be active people with full schedules during their visits. But like so many other people they often like to finish the night with a good movie. This is why all Rose Hotel guest rooms come equipped with a DVD player and our movie library is stocked with about 150 titles. It's movie season, as Golden Globes and Oscars have been handed out to writers, actors, directors, producers and other moviemakers. That always encourages us to take a fresh look at … (click on the headline to continue reading).
We have learned from breeding programs at zoos that animals do not love and breed well in captivity. How ironic that people seek captivity on Valentine's Day to rekindle their love and affection. That captivity can be as simple as a private dinner, or as elaborate as a couples vacation or staycation at a romantic hotel. We know this well because Valentine's Day is one of our busiest holidays at The Rose Hotel. Our rooms for this coming Valentine's Day weekend have been sold out for weeks. Although we hardly consider our hotel a place of "captivity" it's obvious to us why loving couples find us so irresistible. It is easy to find that precious alone-time at The Rose, either in our luxurious rooms, our quiet lobby, nearby restaurants or a simple stroll down the historic Main Street running perpendicular to our front door. We do plenty to facilitate that loving feeling with our year-round Romance Package, which includes … (click the headline to continue reading)
As we move into the latter half of January, we are reminded that this is the time of year when our resolutions tend to quaver as our willpower sometimes fails us. This might be because our resolutions are difficult and unpleasant tasks, such as losing weight. We would do well to include pleasurable goals in our New Year's resolutions. If you're reading this article then you're probably a traveler, and you know that travel is one of the most pleasurable human endeavors. Travelers also make resolutions, or at least they're encouraged to make resolutions. One of the publications that weighed in on this topic is Condé Nast Traveler. It has some smart ideas and interesting travelers we thought wise to share with you. Whatever your travel preferences, we hope you will set some time and money aside this year to do some pleasurable traveling — maybe even the kind of traveling that challenges your habits and takes you (literally and figuratively) into some new territory. These suggestions from Condé Nast Traveler on how to make the most of your 2015 travels might just energize you and fill you with a renewed zest for travel and some fresh ideas … (click on the headline to continue reading)
Our business and leisure travelers alike have a lot at stake when it comes to the U.S. and world economies. So do we. One of industries hit hardest by economic downturns is the hotel business, and sometimes we're an early indicator that trouble is brewing. Given this shared interest, we are very pleased to report that 2014 was a record year for occupancy at The Rose Hotel. What's more, PKF Consulting, a hospitality industry research firm, is forecasting more good times ahead. That almost certainly means good tidings for the economy as well. But the financials are only part of the story at our hotel. In addition to the quantitative, we pay a lot of attention to the qualitative. We are also gratified by the positive guest comments we continually receive on TripAdvisor and other notable sites. Based on our guest comments we know … (click on the headline to continue reading)
All one need do is to walk into The Rose Hotel lobby to find out that we take the holiday season very seriously. The exterior and lobby of the hotel are festooned with decorations of the season. Suffice it to say, we are definitely in the Christmas spirit. The holiday season is a time when our guests are very active, and that means we are too. It's a time when people celebrate for both religious and secular reason, and look back on the year that was, as well as forward to the year to come with great anticipation — and so do we. As our 13th year of operation comes to a close, we are reminded of … (click on the headline to continue reading)

That driver did the right thing and all of those complaining passengers should try diving a bus, before they get so indignant.

Yes, very much so. I didn't think I'd be buying a PS4 until a price drop, but I'll almost surely pre-order it now.
I only cringed and groaned a couple of times, so the show was a huge success in my eyes. I'm sure everyone's gonna flip when they find out that all those features are locked behind a subscription, and people are going to be pissed when it's not backwards compatible out of the box, or whatever, but they showed more than I thought they would, and it doesn't sound woefully under-powered, so color me excited.

The conference sucked.
They showed the new controller and the Kinect copy, didn't actually show the console, no information on specs, no pricing or release date, only showed one Sony 'exclusive' franchise game.
Just bad bad bad.
You must have got there late. They totally had specs. And if you thought they were gonna blow their wad and not save anything for E3, you crazy.
Great presentation, totally stoked and ready to ditch MS (well not totally ready, waiting to see what the next xbox is like).
Only disappointment is Diablo 3. Not that that's a bad game or that it's not cool it's gonna be on the console but when they announced Blizzard I got reeeeal excited then Diablo 3 and ughhhhhhh crap.

You can't try any game you want on Steam instantly. You can steal most games I guess, so there's that.

They took a really smart approach and made it sound like they learned from the PS3's faults.
FUCKING inFAMOUS Y'ALL
About 100 minutes too long.
Repeating games announced at E3 last year and tech demos with almost zero content is not worth spending two hours on.
The details of the system also seem to exist in the ether of the Cloud. Behind the scenes I wouldn't be surprised if the PS4 is just a naked mini-ATX board sat on a cardboard box.
If everything they announced today had been just a series of press releases, my time would have been better spent.

Too much talking at the beginning, but it really picked up and i thoroughly enjoyed it. My major wow moment from the conference is the unveiling of Killzone, i think for me it was the first "Welcome to next gen!" moment. Once the HUD popped up i was shocked that it was actually gameplay, Guerrilla Games' art direction has been impeccable as of late and i'm actually excited for this series.
I also like the fact that the major 3rd parties worked their way out EARLY in Feburary to showcase stuff for the new system. Next Final Fantasy confirmed, Diablo 3 and major support from Blizzard, Destiny and exclusive content from Bungie, New IP from Capcom, Watch_Dogs etc is really reassuring.
No Price or Console unveiled is a bummer, but there's always E3. I'm expecting this thing to be 499 with maybe a standard model around 399/450.
Great presentation and something I personally was asking for (a more appealing console UI philosophy etc.) seems to be in the works. Overall some nice information and possibilities. Really liked the look of Jonathan Blow's new game. Now I'm really curious what Microsoft will show, as this was a pretty exciting thing to watch and got me a little bit back on board with Sony overall.
Sony drove home that they're fully on board with supporting indie developers and that makes me so happy.

The system sounds good for the most part, the showed some fun looking shooters, a penis sculpting game and a few other colorful titles. I'm not sold yet, I need a price, date and a few more games to be scheduled in the pipeline before I jump. The presentation was kind of boring but I feel ok with the information presented thus far.
Edit: Reading the above post reminded me. Square Enix is a filthy tease and can go to hell, if they showed me something substantial I think I may have been on board.
Decent. I'll be the elitist PC snob and say the multiplatform games that looked great made me go, "this is going to look even more awesome on my PC!" The exclusive games is what has me on board though. I really liked the Motorstorm games, so I want to see more of their next racing game. The next inFamous game also looks good and has me wanting to play inFamous 2.
Then there is Destiny, which will most likely stay only on consoles. I don't want to deal with Microsoft's bullshit ecosystem that they have set up on Xbox, so I'd definitely pick that game up on PS4.

The one thing that got me excited was thinking how much better PC ports will be. At least I hope they will be. I mean, if the PS4 has the architecture as a PC I don't see why it wouldn't be easier to make a PC version or vise verse.

I was very happy with it. If they execute on their promises to do things like allowing people to play games while downloading, then the PS4 should be a big step forward for video games. I was also very pleased to see some footage of The Witness. The only things that disappointed me were how little was shown of Destiny and the presence of yet another installment in the Killzone series, which has never interested me.

I was more surprised at the "lolwiimusic" part. So bad lol. Luckily we got to see some new Watch Dogs. I have to say when I saw that "Iraq War Veteran: Unemployed, Income $0" part I was like oh man Ubisoft.

Unless it wasn't. They've done it before. And frankly Killzone looked like a generic shooter with QT sequences. Visually no more impressive than Crysis 3 or many other games on a PC.
The most interesting game they showed is still Watch Dogs and that was shown a year ago.
im at a loss for words.
that was a depressing look into the stagnation of gaming technology for another 7+ years.
theres a fucking share button on the controller.
a share button.
Uhhh people actually like to share a big chunk of their lives through social apps/platforms. This feature basically cuts all of the expenses and hassle for many people who like to record and upload their gameplay. Maybe that feature is not for you, but I'm sure it is, or will be, for a lot of folks.

Yes, but I wish they'd shown more exclusive Sony games. Knack looks very cool, like some kind of weird mix of Astro Boy and Kameo.
Killzone looked stunning, but it was totally more Killzone. I'm excited to see where they take Infamous, but the trailer wasn't so great. The Dragons Dogma game looked cool if a little generic fantasy and the creepy old man head was great.
Diablo 3, Squares announcements were dull. I didn't care much for the car game, but that's because it's not my kind of thing. It's hard to get excited about Destiny and Watch Dogs because we already knew what they were. (yes, they look very cool.)
I'm really glad the focus was games.
I think the biggest blunder was "Sorry there's no PS3 backwards compatibility but you can rebuy all the games you already own again digitally!"
Really hope they rethink that one.

The Mad Ants look to even their record tonight before heading out on a four-game road trip.
The Ants (1-2) play the Iowa Energy (0-1) at 7:30 tonight in an NBA Development League game in Memorial Coliseum. The teams play again at 7 p.m. Saturday in Iowa.
Fort Wayne broke into the win column with a strong defensive effort in an 86-75 win over the Canton Charge on Wednesday at Memorial Coliseum. Veteran guards Walker Russell Jr. (25 points) and Ron Howard (20 points) helped pave the way, but the team also benefited from top draft pick JaJuan Johnson (16 points, 14 rebounds) and the play of newcomer Tony Mitchell.
Mitchell, a 6-foot-6 forward from the University of Alabama, scored nine points with eight rebounds, five steals, three assists and two blocks.
Howard leads the Ants with an early-season average of 23.7 points per game. Russell averages 20.3 points per game and Johnson is at 11.0 points and 10.3 rebounds.
After playing in Iowa on Saturday, the Ants have road games at Springfield on Dec. 7, Maine on Dec. 8 and Canton on Dec. 12.

St. Libory junior awarded NE Business Hall of Fame Scholarship
(Peru, Neb.) Peru State College (PSC) junior Mary Ellen Martin, a business education major from St. Libory, was recently awarded a Nebraska Chamber of Commerce & Industry's Nebraska Business Hall of Fame Scholarship at the organization's annual banquet in Lincoln. The scholarship can be used for tuition, room and board, and/or books for the 2012-13 academic year.
The Nebraska Business Hall of Fame Scholarship Foundation is designed to provide scholarship assistance to deserving students in their sophomore or junior year of college who are attending recognized Nebraska colleges and universities and seeking degrees in business-related fields of study. It exists to ensure strong business growth for Nebraska's future. The program is administered through the Nebraska Community Foundation.
Business Professor and Faculty Advisor Dr. Judy Grotrian said, "Mary Ellen is very deserving of this prestigious scholarship. There are many talented students at Peru State, and it is exciting to have one of our own rewarded for her hard work. Mary Ellen's dedication to academics and her willingness to go above and beyond the requirements indicates she will be an outstanding educator."
School of Professional Studies Dean Dr. Gregory Galardi said, "Mary Ellen Martin is a testament to our success as a college, the dedication of our faculty and the Southeast Nebraska community. We especially appreciate the work of Dr. Judy Grotrian in providing mentoring and leadership for Mary Ellen during this competitive process. I congratulate them both on this honor."
Martin said, "It is an honor to receive this recognition and to be awarded such a prestigious scholarship by the Nebraska State Chamber. I would not have had this opportunity without the life-changing guidance of my instructors at Peru State or the support of my parents. Special thanks to my business professor and advisor Dr. Grotrian and Dean Galardi for sharing their expertise and for their encouragement."
Martin is the daughter of Jim and Twyla Martin of St. Libory.

An ordinance calling for the vacating of an alley and part of Argonne Road and Spring Lane, as well as the re-location of Spring Lane, to make room for the expansion of the KDMC Ohio facility on Scioto Trail in Portsmouth brought a question from Fifth Ward City Councilman Gene Meadows at Monday's Portsmouth City Council meeting.
"I do just want to point out that I know we're just talking about a couple of alleys and some smaller streets, as compared to Third Street," Meadows said. "But I just want to point out that there was one question asked last week, and it got a very vague answer when it came to King's Daughters that I asked. I can't help but compare the difference between how easy this seems to have started, as compared to the wringer that Shawnee State had to go through."
Over a two-year period, City Council considered the closing of Third Street at the request of Shawnee State University to help with their expansion plan.
"When it comes to asking questions and getting answers, I don't think it should be too much for King's Daughters to be willing to give City Council answers when it comes to vacating these alleys and streets," Meadows said. "It was a question about the number of jobs that we can anticipate coming as the result of this. I asked Shawnee State that, and they provided me an answer. They didn't give me a specific,you know, 5,000 jobs, they gave me a range of how the expansion was. And that is simply one of the issues I was looking for two weeks ago at the Mayor's Conference when we were discussing this. And the answer was very vague. In fact, if I remember correctly, it wasn't something they wanted to discuss."
Meadows said he was not asking KDMC to divulge any secrets they didn't want the company's competitors to find out, but that perhaps those small streets and alleys in that area are as important to the citizens of that area as Third Street was to the citizens living there.
Fourth Ward Councilmal Jim Kalb then suggested the representative from KDMC be allowed to answer questions at that point.
"I thought the question that was asked two weeks ago, was what we are building. And I made the statement that I really didn't want to say what we were building because it was competitive," Howard Harrison, Vice President of Facilities at KDMC said. "But now I understand the question was pertaining to jobs."
Meadows pressed for a more specific answer.
"I also asked about the number of jobs and kinds of jobs we can expect to increase or be added to the city," Meadows said. "And the answer I recall I got was, that hasn't yet been determined. It looks to me that as long as King's Daughters has been doing this, if you know what you're going to build, you can anticipate the percentage of jobs you're going to increase to what you've got there now."
Harrison said when KDMC builds a facility, they build them so that they can add floors on top of them.
"The building that we have on Scioto Trail now that we just opened in the last few months, is designed to go seven stories tall," Harrison said. "That now is two stories. And that is designed to have four more floors on that. And what we're asking is to vacate the alleys and the streets next door to build buildings that will tie into that same facility. And it would be the same theory that we might add floors in the future."
Harrison said he was not attempting to be vague in his answer about the number of possible jobs that would come as a result of the expansion.
"I just really can't give you an answer as to how many jobs. I couldn't make that kind of assumption. Maybe there's 20-25 employees per floor or something, but I really don't know that right at the moment, because right at the moment we're just master planning, and we don't even really know what the buildings are," Harrison said. "We know what our long-term goal is - to add on to the facility, but I don't want to mislead the Councilmen that we are bringing a hundred jobs to the community because I really don't know that that's the truth. We could open something new on this property and have 10 jobs, or it could be a hundred more jobs. So I honestly don't know the answer to that. I'd like to say in four or five years we might add 300-400 more jobs out here. With health care reform, and the economy the way it is, I don't know that that will happen."
Harrison said he does promise KDMC plans to build more buildings and bring more people to their Portsmouth campus.
Portsmouth Solicitor John Haas then made a statement that became, according to members of City Council, the quote of the night that put everything into perspective.
"I would just point out also that where these streets and alleyways that are the subject of this ordinance are located, they (KDMC) own all of the property there," Haas said. "So if it's not vacated. If they can't build on. If they can't develop it, it will just make an end to that."
"I think that's the best response of the evening," Council President Steve Sturgill said.
