Quotes: Exalted
Exalted is a game where one of your main antagonists is Death, Creator of the Underworld. Except there's several of him, probably six or seven. Oh, and he's got 13 dread henchmen, one of whom was probably you at some point in time. Also, Hell has a personal grudge against you this time. Did I mention Magical America regularly trains and sends ninjas out for you personally? Ninjas specially trained in ass-kicking? Which, if they won't work, they keep giant robotic suits of armor on reserve for. Oh, and the Transformers have united under Omicron, and are invading. The Jedi have corrupted Heaven and usurped your rightful place as the Masters of Everything. Your ex-wife just dropped by, and she's a two thousand year old shape-changing man-eating monster now, interested in maybe going on a date next Thursday. Your best friend from your last life and while growing up now seeks to cover all the lands of Middle Earth in darkness, if he can just find this damn ring. And your God has the world's biggest crack habit, and needs some serious rehab.
—Darius Solluman
Solars do horrible things, Lunars are horrible things, and Sidereals make horrible decisions?
Creation is threatened by demons, undead gods, and Cthuloid elves. But don't worry, because tyrannical super-weapon self-righteous lunatics with incredible brain-washing powers are back! We're saved!
—The Wizard of Oz from the official White Wolf forums.
Most RPGs Jump the Shark. Exalted skis on a giant sword over lava from an erupting volcano, being pulled with quicksilver cables by an airship, and then does a quad somersault 1080 with a pike over a tank filled with evil robot super sharks with laser beam eyes made from an alloy created from the souls of DEAD GODS.
— [Muskie]
In ancient days, when mystical shit was BIG and IN YOUR FACE, somebody FUCKED UP and BROKE EVERYTHING and now THINGS SUCK.

Trying to portray societal consequences of being an disfavored minority in realistic manner is kind of difficult to do in Exalted. After all the default assumption is that the populace finding out that you are, as far as they are concerned, a horrific demon who will eat their children is considered to be at worst a minor problem until the Shaolin death squads show up.
- warpshadow
This is Exalted. "Immortal" just means that a Solar hasn't put serious effort into trying to kill it yet.

Being a Solar Exalted means never having to say, "Maybe I should tone this down a little?"

Stories that have 'And Then the Celestial Exalt Was Horribly Raped...' do not classically work out well for the bad guys in Creation.
- Miss Maddy
Any sufficiently advanced kung-fu is indistinguishable from magic.
Any good act of Exalted epicry should not only alter the course of history, but if at all possible, the course of geography as well.

I am no mere God. - Uttered in complete seriousness during an Exalted game
(UCS) "These Exaltations won't catalyze. What am I doing wrong?"
(Autochthon) "Let me see that. Hm. Are you putting everything you have into this?"
(UCS) "Of course not. Nothing can withstand that."
(Autochthon) "These Exaltations are insufficiently awesome. You must push yourself to your limits."
(UCS) "But I have none."
(Autochthon) "Nevertheless."
(UCS) "Very well—but I warned you."
And on that day the sun flared so that it encompassed the entire sky, and Creation was taken with terror and wonder. Luna rose ahead of schedule to shield the world from that unbearable light, and beneath the apocalyptic vision of this eclipse, the first Exalted began to take the Second Breath...
Holden, freelancer and Ink Monkey, on the creation of the Solars
Cosmic power flows through me, yearning to build worlds and tear them asunder. I am that I am, and all that is bows before me or sickens and dies. In my left hand is cold fire. With my right, I raise monoliths to my glory and crush my enemies. Upon me rests the crown of the universe.
And do you know what else?
I am so fucking metal my name is a power chord.
Michael Goodwin, freelancer, Ink Monkey, and fandom Cullen, on how it feels to be an Infernal
1. If one of my players or my NPCs says he will take over the world, I will not have M. Bison spawn into existence just to say "Of course!"
—Things one is not allowed to do in Exalted: Storyteller Guidelines.
Exalted is in many ways like Call of Cthulhu. Both can be set in a largely negative world and both contain mind-numbing horrors whose gentlest sneeze could kill half of Malaysia. The difference is the scope of fear; humans fear Cthulhu, Cthulhu fears the Exalted.
Overheard on an rpg.net forum
Exalted not only jumped the shark, it jumped the whole damned ocean. The force of the leap was so great that water and hapless sharks alike were pulled along in Exalted's wake, scattering the sunlight into a million rainbow shards and ominous pelagic silhouettes. Just before landing, Exalted turned around and started running back along the backs of the sharks as they flew, razor teeth foremost, directly into the camp of Those Other Games, who were caught napping and consumed.
Its enemies defeated or awestruck, Exalted then proceeded to engage in an epic kung fu battle against a convenient local mountain range, merely as an encore.
The Fonz "heyed", for at long last the phrase for lameness he had unwittingly inspired was so thoroughly subverted by Exalted's action that The Fonz was cool again merely by association.
Overheard on an rpg.net forum
In most RPG's chairs and bottles serve as improvised weapons. In Exalted, the nearby mountains qualify as well.

The Solars are the ancient god-kings of Egypt or China or Mesopotamia, the deific cultural heroes from the dawn of time Gilgamesh, Utnapishtim, Moses, Horus, Herakles, Akhilleus, the Yellow Emperor, the Sage Emperors. These ancient solar princes have all sat up, and the great beards they grew in their slumber have shattered their respective stone tables, and here they are in the time of the Book of the New Sun, or the Dying Earth, or Zothique a world at the end of history, without hope or fresh impetus. Wow, what a fucking lot of work theyll have to do to bring back the glories of the dawn of time; a vast challenge, but not one out of reach for these mighty heroes.
- Geoffrey C. Grabowski, Exalted's first developer
The game where you can punch people into being so sick their organs fall out.
The game where you can turn yourself into a city.
The game where dinosaurs pee heroin.
The game where you can sign on with the fallen supergod that erased nine-tenths of Creation because it lost the war.
The game where you can kill five things with one knife throw, jump over a mountain, and still make it to teatime with a dragon.
The game where you can build a giant robot out of ghosts.
And then kill it with a giant sword made of dead gods.
The game where you can insult someone so badly they die.
The game where the sun is like a giant Death Star piloted by the king of gods and capable of blowing up anything he doesnt like.
The game where you can be so sexy it hurts.
The game where you can be so sneaky you turn into someone else.
The game with magic lesbian stripper ninjas.
The game with fairies that are more like Cthulhu.
But its okay because the zombie gods (not gods of zombies, gods that are zombies) accidentally drove them back with a horrible plague.
The game where starting martial artists have to punch a river in half.
The game where, if all goes well, you really should overthrow the gods before youre halfway done.

A Sidereal was hiding in my cereal bowl waiting to ambush me but I gave it to this guy I didn't like and the Sidereal jumped out and punched him and he turned into ducks. Seriously, it was like poof and he was three ducks.

- Dealing with a First Age Lunar's insane rules
And this, my friends, is what happens to Elder Solar Exalted.
The corruption of the Great Curse, the soul-rot that consumes all of them. The strongest, the brightest, the best and the noblest of them, it matters not. You live long enough, you turn from an exemplar of glorious perfection to one who perfectly embodies virtue corrupted.
Conviction becomes careless cruelty and a cavalier attitude to ever-increasing amounts of collateral damage.
Valor becomes sneering contempt at reason.
Temperance teeters back and forth between mortification of the flesh, one's own and those of others, for failing to adhere to impossible standards, and to the wildest excesses a thousand screaming souls sing of in their unending nightmares.
Compassion devolves into brutal micromanagement of lives, no matter what these objects - objects! - of affection want, because you know better.
And then you add Limit Breaks, which exaggerate all these titanic flaws to levels previously unseen, unheard and unimagined, for centuries upon centuries.
There is no escape from this fate, for so rot-blighted are these ancient souls that not even death can end their evil. There is only the time your Exaltation gives you before the Great Curse consumes you, and in that time, you can be the hero you were meant to be.
Just pray that you die long before one of your younger cousins stands before you, raging at you, casting words of fiery damnation at you for in your heart you will know that you have become the very monster your kind was made to fight.
Exalted: Where earthpolitics concepts meet irrefutable proof that god not only exists, but needs maintenance lest his continent-sized organs crush everyone.
I wanted to climb those mountains nobody ever had the guts to climb before, I wanted to stat what they said couldn't or shouldn't be statted. And we did. And looking back, I don't think it improved the game. [...] I looked up one day and the game was all about [...] Yozis and Solars hip-tossing people across the universe and characters hijacking the sun and flying it into the Ebon Dragon's face and it was like—this is not the game I fell in love with back at Scavenger Sons, what happened here? Where's the Realm? Where's Jubei fighting the Eight Devils of Kimon? Where's the Brotherhood of the Peach Orchard swearing to reform a corrupt and crumbling empire? Where's Conan carving his legend into the kingdoms of men in fire and blood? Where's Azhrarn, Prince of Demons, falling in love with a mortal man and taking vengeance when his heart is broken? When did everything become so noisy and gonzo and clumsy?

In Exalted, if it can't be solved with murder, you aren't murdering it hard enough.

"We'll start with the basics. Of course, since you're Exalted, the level is raised a little. Now punch that river in half."
— Ten Winds discusses Exalted martial arts
In Exalted, I play a guy who was so incredibly cool, so much more hip than anyone else in the world, that God Himself showed up and said, "Hey, I thought this world was pretty dumb, but I saw how awesome you were just then, so maybe I was wrong. Go forth and kick much ass in my name." And I turned unto God and said, "Rock."

WOW!! that old bird is fantastic.i would love to bee in on some of those parties.
elle est superbe
That looked like our house last Sat. night
I love this. Granny finally gets a nice hard black cock. I imagine myself being her husband. Standing there, masturbating. Naked. Watching her suck all these other guys.
I want to invite her over to my house to clean up.
granny sure nows hw to fuck i am a lesbian but i sure granny nows hw to take the lesbians down
this was disturbingly good
Went to my first swinger's party recently..was invited by a friend who is a swinger..was at a resort that was closed to everyone else if you had an invite, which I did. There was a 62 year old GILF swinger looking for hard cock to suck, she saw mine and came right to me...got on her knees right in front of me and went to town..she loved sucking big younger cock as I was...an incredible 30 minute blowjob from her, she delayed me a few times from cumming and it built up to where I finally exploded a huge load of my cum all over her face and she loved it! First time as a swinger was a memorable one for sure for me! :-)
granny really knows how to suck cock
Great video. She loves cum!
i seen you before.
Hell yeah....
Great cocksucking action.... lots of tongue wives & girlfriends take note thats how you please your man just before you bend over dorp your panties & present your ass for a doggy
She is ivied to watch the boxing PPVs with us, anytime
She can really suck but does she fuck too
she loves that black dick
Nobody does her....that sucks for her!
Grannies love what they dp and they do it well and like any good cock sucker they love tyo swallow they could give lessons thats for sure
Love to spend and night with Valerie and Felicity I'd lick and suck the all day.
Love that granny! She can suck a lot of cock in a single sitting! That lady is a treasure! I'd love to meet she and her husband.
Grannies sure can suck cock this was an absultly great flick she enjoyed it, and the blonde that was getting tucked moaning enjoying it moaning.
wow granny has it going on!! she could have swallowed a lil more but yeah i would have cleaned up her mess :P
wow esta perra si que sabe mamar verga yo lleve a mi novia a un cine de adultos y la puse a mamar y mamo como 8 vergas y ella tiene 64 anos
wow ol granny loves her protien...she knows whats good for her
At the last swingers party I went to my husband watched me fuck three blackmen and I think he liked nearly as much as me
That granny didn't swallow a drop that I see, not the chick who was being banged, I would love to see what all the creaming orgasms was about with her.
I really wish porn was a reflection of how things really are. There are so many clips with women my age or older getting fucked by cute young men with great big beautiful cocks. I think they do it so we all think we'd have a chance with these amazing men. To be perfectly honest but not in any way thinking I'm better than anyone or bragging,I'm 52 years old but am frequently told I look 15 years younger. Based solely on the compliments I'm given I would say I'm twice or even three times more attractive than the majority of the women I mentioned. That makes it all the more frustrating to see all the action these ladies get. The last time I had sex with a man in his 20s was when I was also in my 20s lol. It's something I fantasize about often with any random young guys. Far from random though there is one man in particular,a friend of my son,who I think is absolutely adorable and I wish there were a way of telling him how bad I want his cock without embarrassing myself. I do very much want him,I wish he knew I think about him pounding me every time we see eachother. And a lot more while I touch myself later because of how good he looked when I saw him earlier. He's such a sweetheart too and always polite and courteous which makes me want him even more. He mainly refers to me as Mrs......... Or ma'am. If only he knew he could call me anything he'd like(I'd call him sir as a dirty form of role reversal) I really want cock right now,preferably his but I'm not too picky ;)
I'd love to give her a tongue bath when she's done...
I belive that granny loves to suck cock... And is very good at it..
She sure loves her work, I like hold she works the balls while getting the cum out, looks very pleasing
Granny sure knows how to party!.

Malcolm Gladwell's latest New Yorker article "Small Change: Why the revolution will not be tweeted" provides a valuable counterargument for those convinced all terrorist recruitment occurs via the Internet.
Gladwell argues that strong-tie, physical relationships create high-risk activism such as civil rights protests or even terrorism, while weak-tie, virtual relationships fail to effectively mobilize resistance groups. He explains social media's weak tie ineffectiveness in high-risk activism writing,
"Our acquaintances—not our friends—are our greatest source of new ideas and information. The Internet lets us exploit the power of these kinds of distant connections with marvelous efficiency. It's terrific at the diffusion of innovation, interdisciplinary collaboration, seamlessly matching up buyers and sellers, and the logistical functions of the dating world. But weak ties seldom lead to high-risk activism."
Gladwell later continues,
"High-risk activism, McAdam concluded, is a "strong-tie" phenomenon… One study of the Red Brigades, the Italian terrorist group of the nineteen-seventies, found that seventy per cent of recruits had at least one good friend already in the organization. The same is true of the men who joined the mujahideen in Afghanistan. Even revolutionary actions that look spontaneous, like the demonstrations in East Germany that led to the fall of the Berlin Wall, are, at core, strong-tie phenomena."
Gladwell's argument and article have received considerable resistance from social media zealots; many with valid points. One always runs the risk of major backlash when using social media to publish an article about social media's limitations.
However, Gladwell's argument provides a much needed counter to those that believe social media is the engine for all human action. I've always doubted that the Internet produces large droves of foreign fighter terrorist recruits as most recruitment globally (90% or more) occurs locally via social, family and religious connections; strong-tie relationships. The high-risk terrorist activism conducted by foreign fighter recruits comes from the bonds of friends not Facebook. The two largest and most recent AQ-inspired recruitments in the U.S., Minneapolis and North Carolina, illustrate the exponential recruiting power of strong-tie physical relationships.
To caveat quickly before the ePundits begin yelling about "how the Internet has changed the world" and consume me in their Gladwell backlash. (I'm fine with that actually, as Gladwell explained, its doubtful that any of these social media zealots would confront me with high-risk activism) The Internet remains and always will be a valuable secondary radicalization tool to physical relationships. I've written in the past in Foreign Fighters: How are they being recruited?,
"While AQ mass media propaganda is an important factor in the war of ideas, it should be addressed more in Western counterterrorism efforts in Western countries where socially isolated second and third generation Muslims and Western converts have limited direct access to militant ideologies, limited access to veteran foreign fighters, increased access to the Internet, and a propensity to access militant websites."
I believe the Internet likely recruits a small fraction of terrorists globally and assists in radicalizing a larger portion of recruits already recruited via strong-tie relationships.
The Internet and social media is a recruitment mechanism for socially-isolated, Western terrorist recruits. These folks (Long-Tail Losers, another post later this week) may get recruited via social media and the Internet because they lack strong-tie, physical relationships. Thus, these eRecruits interpret their weak-tie relationships with terrorist social media as their strongest tie. Samir Khan, the American AQAP recruit to Yemen, represents this style of terrorist recruit.
While I don't doubt this Internet recruitment occurs, I do doubt how much of it occurs. How many people that visit terrorist websites and do not have a strong-tie physical relationship with another terrorist are actually recruited each year? I don't know. But if I had to guess, I'd say no more than two dozen globally.
Ultimately, I believe we should try to disrupt AQ recruitment on the Internet. However, I hope Western CT folks don't deceive themselves into believing they are significantly degrading terrorist recruitment by 'tweeting' and 'friending'.

Mental health administrators in some Iowa counties say they most likely will have to cut services soon because the state is planning to spend much less money than expected to help counties make the transition to a new regional mental health system.
State administrators are recommending that Polk County and most other counties get nothing from the transition fund. They're proposing that the Legislature put less than $1.5 million into the fund, which county officials say is not nearly enough.

Equipment financing confidence index dips slightly
Posted By Overdrive Staff On May 22, 2012 @ 10:10 am In Construction News | No Comments
[1]The Equipment Leasing & Finance Foundation's Monthly Confidence Index for the equipment finance industry for May is 59.2, down slightly from the April index of 62.1, reflecting uncertainty about the pace of U.S. economic growth and concerns about global political and economic factors.
The index reports a qualitative assessment of both the prevailing business conditions and expectations for the future as reported by key executives from the $628 billion equipment finance sector.
"Demand for loans and leases in the industries we serve remains closely tied to external economic factors and conditions, many of which remain volatile and uncertain for the remainder of 2012," said Russ Nelson, Farm Credit Leasing president. "Year-to-date activity for equipment has remained strong, and we are cautiously optimistic concerning the next eight months."

Burroughs was one such luminary, appearing on Tom Waits' 1993 The Black Rider, a collaboration with Kurt Cobain titled "Priest They Called Him," and September Songs, a 1997 Kurt Weill tribute album featuring the likes of PJ Harvey, Nick Cave, Elvis Costello, and Lou Reed. In 1996, Burroughs got together with R.E.M. for a cover of their "Star Me Kitten" from '92's Automatic for the People.

If you are interested in catching the ones you have already found, there is another method similar to the bed sheet. On the beach where you see them, dig a hole big enough to fit a bucket. Move the sand/dirt/mud around the lip of the bucket so that it is flush with the ground. Then either wait for them to fall in, or herd them into it. EZPZ.

Charlie Kaufman wants to make a stop-motion animated film, and he's looking to Kickstarter for help. The Oscar-winning screenwriter today announced his next project, titled Anamolisa. Written by Kaufman and Dan Harmon, creator of NBC's Community, Anamolisa will be a relatively short film, clocking in at around 40 minutes, though judging from the above trailer, it promises to be just as tantalizing as earlier Kaufman projects. As far as plot is concerned, Kaufman says the movie will be "about a man crippled by the mundanity of his life." More details are on the film's Facebook page:
The film follows a celebrated motivational speaker travelling the country, changing the lives of countless people. But in the course of transforming others, his life has become hollow and meaningless. It's a grey and monotonous existence where people literally look and sound identical.
Suddenly one day, a girl's voice pierces through the veil of nothingness. She fills him with such a rush of "aliveness", he's willing to abandon everything and everyone, including his own family, and escape with her to a better life.
Kaufman and his team are looking to raise $200,000 to finance the film, and are using an intriguing incentive-based system to achieve their goal. Users who donate $2,500, for example, will be able to call in for a 20-minute Skype conversation with Harmon, director Duke Johnson, or executive producer Dino Stamatopolous. Donate $5,000, and Harmon will write an original screenplay about your life, or give at least $10,000 to receive an on-screen executive producer credit.
As of this writing, Anamolisa has received more than $30,000 in Kickstarter funding. You can find more information in the promotional video above, or at Kaufman's Kickstarter page.

Carmichaels' five-run inning leads to first-round loss for Serra
TribLIVE Sports Videos
For a while it appeared Serra Catholic might be able to pull off a huge upset on the first day of the WPIAL Class A playoffs.
In the end, though, Carmichaels just needed a little extra time to finally solve Eagles starter Ashley Likar.
Serra Catholic (9-10) gave third-seeded Carmichaels (20-1) all it could handle for a while, but the Mikes blew open a close game with a five-run fifth en route to a 10-0, six-inning victory over the Eagles at California (Pa.) University's Lilly Field. It was the Eagles first postseason appearance since losing to Avonworth in the 2009 WPIAL Class A quarterfinals.
"The first four-and-a-half innings we played great ball," Serra Catholic coach Mike Elko said. "It's the just the bottom of the fifth, we were unlucky with a couple of missed catches and an error and they catch up to you sooner or later."
Carmichaels designated hitter Regina Menhart led the 10-hit attack as she went 2 for 2 with three RBI, while catcher Lindsey Osborne was 2 for 4 with four RBI, including a two-run single in the bottom of the sixth that scored the ninth and 10th runs to put the 10-run mercy rule into effect.
"We felt like we were one hit away from breaking it open the whole game," Carmichaels coach Dave Briggs said. "You start to worry as the game goes on, but I thought we would come around sooner or later."
Likar was able to keep Carmichaels off-balance through four innings, allowing only four hits and one earned run. But the Eagles could not find a way to solve Mikes starter Cameron Grimes, who only allowed four hits and struck out three.
"That's the way she pitches," Briggs said. "She's not a strikeout pitcher. She mixes it up and keeps them off-balance and relies on the defense behind her."
Third baseman Allie Taylor was the only Serra Catholic player to reach second base against Grimes. Taylor hit a one-out double in the top of the sixth, but Grimes was able to work out of trouble without the runner advancing.
Grimes did not issue a walk and relied on her fielders to come up with 12 fly ball outs.
"We're not used to seeing a pitcher that slow in our conference and we were told that she threw in the high 40s or low 50s and it was not that speed," Elko said. "She would throw a high 40s strike and come back with a knuckleball and a change-up and we're not used to that after going against Chartiers-Houston and Frazier."
Serra Catholic will have quite a bit of time to get used to Carmichaels pitchers next season. Because of the biennial WPIAL realignment, the Eagles and Mikes will see each other twice in the regular season in Section 2 matchups.
"We'll see a different caliber of competition, and I have high hopes," Elko said. "I think we can go to the playoffs every year from now on."

Hello fella's
Well I am a new member to the forum so a quick Hello first of all!!
So I have just bought myself a 2003 1.8 lx mondeo, The car has no MOT but it was very very cheap so I thought I would give it a go and try to sort out what is wrong with it. The lad I bought it of said that it had failed its mot on emissions ( will put the levels down below). Was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to rectify the problem. It smokes really bad when revved hard and seems to be a little under powered. I was thinking piston rings maybe? And if so are they a pain in the backside to change?
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle excessive (7.3.D.2c)
Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.2b)
Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive (7.3.D.2b)
Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (7.3.D.2b)
Exhaust emits excessive dense blue smoke during acceleration (7.3.A.1c)
Cheers, Deano.

text: It was a tough assignment. Being new to Auburn and a recent California State University, Chico graduate (Chico State was awarded No. 2 Party School in the nation by Playboy magazine last year, by the way), my editors thought I would be a perfect choice to see who is the best bartender in Auburn. So, armed with a notebook, a digital camera and $20, I braved the Auburn bar-scene Saturday night to see who could shake, serve and smile their way to the top. My first stop was the California Club where Rebecca Morgan was behind the bar. With an easy grin and good looks, the 34-year-old single mom was quick with the drinks and quicker with the jokes. When I asked her what makes her the best bartender in Auburn, she said it was her feisty attitude that made her a tequila shot or two above the rest. ?I?m spunky,? Morgan yelled to me over the California Club?s obnoxiously loud live band. ?It?s all about being ornery.? She said being a woman bartender meant that she had to deal with a lot more obnoxious customers than a man would, but she said smiling helps keep them in line. ?I just try to ignore them, but I can only take so much. Then I?m like, ?fsssshhh,?? Morgan said making a shooing motion, a big grin splitting her face. California Club?s doorman, Chris Douglass, said Morgan is the best because she has a passion for her work. ?You?ll be able to walk in, see her smile and feel like you?re at home,? Douglass said. ?Most bartenders hate their job, but she loves it.? I was convinced. But that was only my first bar of the night, so I decided to go to across the street to the Shanghai Bar and see what the competition had to offer. Out front, I met Angel Davis, whose daughter, Victoria Ribbeck, tended bar inside. Davis told me her daughter was the best, in her unbiased opinion. ?She brings in all the people. She?s really good at making them smile,? Davis said. ?She takes care of them. She?s even good at throwing a few out too.? Once I got inside, Ribbeck said she?s the best because she knows what she?s doing. ?I always make a good drink,? a very busy Ribbeck said in between pours. Ribbeck?s fellow bartender at Shanghai?s, Lee Stern, said he?s the best bartender in town because he can get the party started when there isn?t one. ?There were lots of women here when the night first got going. But no guys.? Stern said. ?So I called up a bunch of guys and comped all the ladies? drinks until they showed up.? Sounds like Stern and the gang at Shanghai?s knew what they were doing, but the night was young and I still had two stops to go. The next bar on my list was Pistol Pete?s Brew and Cue. I asked the man checking IDs at the door, Bill Click, what he thought makes a good bartender. Click said keeping a cool head is key, especially when dealing with rowdy customers. ?They?ve got to know how to talk and be funny with people,? Click said. ?The last thing we want is violence, so they?ve got to be able to talk someone down.? Bartender Anthony DiAngelo looked like he could keep a cool head, but it was still his first night on the job. ?I?m still learning all the drinks,? DiAngelo said. ?I just want to provide good customer service and a safe environment.? Pete Aroz, whose family owns Pistol Pete?s, said their bartenders are the best because they value the customer over everything else. ?Anybody can learn how to make drinks, but I think you need to be a people person or you won?t last long,? Aroz said. ?I want them to be as nice as they can, especially when they?re busy.? The other bartender at Pete?s, Di Deak, said that?s what made her the best bartender in Auburn. ?It?s all about customer service,? Deak said. ?Good atmosphere and good people are what bring people back.? The bartenders at Pete?s seemed the most professional of any bar I had been to so far, but I still had one more stop to go. So I made the short walk down the hill to Bob & Betty?s One Sixty Club. The guy behind the bar wouldn?t give me his real name, but he said he?s a local legend. ?Just call me Ronzo,? he said. ?Everybody will know who you?re talking about.? ?Ronzo? didn?t have much else to say, but he did tell me that he?d worked at the One Sixty for 18 years. Nothing seemed to get under Rondo?s skin. When I asked him what makes him the best bartender, he just shrugged. ?Ask these guys,? he said. So I turned to ask cousins Bryan and James Harp, who were sitting at the bar (and looked like they?d been there for a while), what they thought of Ronzo. ?This guy can make you any drink you ask him for. He made me a drink that I could only get on a cruise in Mexico,? James Harp said. ?No other bartender could make that drink, but he did.? There?s something to be said about a bartender that lets the quality of his drinks and his customers speak for him. I liked Ronzo on the spot (it also helped that he later gave me two rounds on the house). Well, the question remains: Who?s the best bartender in Auburn? I have no idea. But I had a great time figuring that out. And at the end of the night, that?s really all that matters. The Journal?s Ryan Sabalow can be reached at email@example.com.

[Join me at noon Monday when Tom Biesiadny, director of the Fairfax Department of Transportation, will take your questions about preparations for the Silver Line service, which will add five new stations in the county. You can submit questions and comments in advance.]
Dear Dr. Gridlock:
My husband and I are trying to prepare for the opening of the Silver Line. He is eligible for a reduced-rate senior SmarTrip card. I understand it needs to be done in person so the age can be verified.
The problem is that it seems extremely difficult to obtain. In addition, I have received three different answers from as many calls to a human at the Metro help line.
I started looking online, but it only discusses sites for purchase of the senior passes in the District or Montgomery County. When I entered my Zip code, it told me there were no sites for purchase nearby.
On one Metro phone call, I was told that unless the senior pass was used frequently, it did not pay to obtain one. Another call told me to go to the Ballston Metro station and visit the street-level store.
When I asked if I would be able to get off the Silver Line train at Ballston, I was told that could not be done. The final call told me to stay on the line and after a brief survey, I would be able to leave a recorded message that would be answered. There was no such opportunity.
Since we have been paying increased taxes and tolls to fund this line, I would think Metro might make more of an effort to accommodate Virginia riders. Don't they realize that for seniors, getting themselves downtown to buy a pass is more than difficult? Do you have any better information on how to purchase the senior SmarTrip pass?
— D. Carlivati, Reston
The Metro marketing campaign surrounding the opening of the Silver Line is about attracting folks like this to use the five new stations in Fairfax. But how much more difficult could Metro make it for them?
This potential customer had done her homework. She knew that to get the senior version of a SmarTrip that allows for discounts on rides, a person has to buy the distinctive yellow card in person and bring proof that he or she is at least 65.
She looked at Metro's Web site, but a person who goes to the main page for the senior SmarTrip reads this: "To purchase the card, seniors need to show a valid government issued photo ID with proof of age at Metro sales offices, commuter stores, and some public libraries located in Montgomery County."
If you're looking because you live in Fairfax County and you're excited to hear that the Silver Line will be conveniently located nearby, that sales pitch isn't helping.
You can click your way from that page into finding the locations of Connector Stores in Fairfax County that sell the senior cards. But when I looked, I already had guidance from Metro spokesman Dan Stessel on what stores I was searching for.
Left to my own devices and to a Web page I found confusing, I probably would have settled on taking a trip to the sales office at Metro Center to buy the $2 senior card.
But Carlivati's effort didn't end with checking a Web page. She tried it the old-fashioned way by calling customer service.
Now, granted, a phone conversation holds plenty of potential for confusion. Think of the last time you contacted Verizon.
But given the intensity of Metro's marketing campaign for the Silver Line, there is no way a Metro representative should have allowed her to get off the telephone without understanding that, yes, you will be able to ride the Silver Line to Ballston.
By the end of her three phone calls, Carlivati knew less about how to ride Metro than when she started.
Think about the potential the senior market offers Metro. I've talked to many a retiree out on the western fringe of the D.C. region who would love to drive a short distance, board a train and spend the day at a Smithsonian museum, rather than face the daunting task of driving all the way into the District.
Being a transit customer shouldn't be such hard work.
All right, Carlivati's best bet is to send her husband off to one of these two nearby Connector Store locations: Reston Town Center Transit Station, 12051 Bluemont Way, opening 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays; or the Herndon-Monroe Park & Ride, 12530 Sunrise Valley Dr., in Herndon, open Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, 6:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 3 to 7 p.m.
About that reference to the Ballston station that confused her: Jennifer Wagar, the transit marketing manager at Arlington County Commuter Services, explained to me that people can purchase the senior SmarTrip card from Arlington's four Commuter Stores and from the Mobile Commuter Store that travels across the county.
One of those stores is at the Ballston-MU Metro Plaza, 4230 Fairfax Dr., above the rail station. It's open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays.

The Science and Technology of an American Genius: Sanford R. Ovshinsky
(World Scientific Publishing, 2008)
Despite his lack of formal training, the self-taught inventor, scientist, manufacturer and entrepreneur Stanford Ovshinsky successfully competed with well-funded educational and industrial establishments to leave a legacy of brilliant innovations—from the phase-change memories of rewritable CDs and flash drives to the Ni Metal hydride batteries which power electric and hybrid vehicles. The Science and Technology of an American Genius: Sanford R. Ovshinsky highlights the inventor's achievements and explains the essence of each of his pioneering ideas and inventions and their implications. A selection of Ovshinsky's seminal publications is also included, along with a list of his patents for each subject category. A model for entrepreneurs, Ovshinsky always sought to gain a deep understanding of the science underlying his inventions, and was known for his perseverance and ability to attract and inspire talented collaborators. Brian Schwartz is at the GC as professor of physics and vice president for Research and Sponsored Programs.

Darius Cheung is the founder of 99.co, a Singapore apartment rental search company.
The Property Portal Watch Conference was held in May for the first time in Singapore, and it's one of many signs that classifieds in Southeast Asia is heating up to become an exciting arena again. Classifieds typically focuses on properties, cars, jobs, and horizontal "anything goes" marketplaces like Craigslist.
It produced some of the most valuable Southeast Asian startups in the last two decades – household names like iProperty, PropertyGuru, SGCarMart, OneShift, JobStreet and JobsCentral. Gorillas such as iProperty and JobStreet grew to US$500 million in market cap each.
While Craigslist has not taken root in Southeast Asia in the horizontal space, eBay has quietly but clearly stepped up its investment in Gumtree's market presence, and rising stars like Carousell (disclaimer: the author is an investor in the startup) have grown rapidly by capturing the fundamental shifts in user behaviour and building for a mobile-first experience.
The man behind the global conference, Simon Baker (former CEO of REA Group in Australia, a $5.5B mammoth, and former chairman of iProperty group), explained why he brought the event to Asia: "Over the last 15 years I have operated and invested in property portals around the world from Australia, to Europe, to South America and to Asia. I think the Southeast Asian market has some exciting opportunities and provides the owners and operators of property portals with significant upside as property portals become the first choice for real estate marketing."
Here're some interesting developments from the conference:
1. Launch of Frontier Digital Ventures (FDV)
Launched in May by the team behind iProperty – Shaun Di Gregorio serves as FDV's CEO, Patrick Grove and Luke Elliot are FDV investors and sit on the board – the investment firm focuses solely on classifieds and on pre-emerging and frontier markets such as Pakistan. Frontier Digital apparently takes an operational investment approach by giving strategic direction and operational guidance on top of funding.
2. Diakrit is the future of real estate visualization tools
Diakrit showcased an advanced suite of real estate visualization tools, the D-Navigator 5.0, which is far more advanced than most of the technology deployed in the region.
What's interesting is that Diakrit is a 350-strong, 13-year old Swedish company in which over 200 staff are reportedly in Thailand. The company is part of the rising trend of having founding roots and senior management in the western world, but with the bulk of their work done in an offshore center in some parts of Asia.
3. Shift away from broker-driven marketplaces
The conference raised the question of how real estate marketplaces are fundamentally changing. Traditionally, customers in newspaper classifieds and recent internet portals have been the brokers and agents.
Buyers, sellers, renters, and landlords rarely deal directly with one another because there were many processes they were not familiar with. But that is slowly changing as classifieds become more sophisticated by providing more tools to users.
So if classifieds move towards a crowd-driven future, will brokers continue to be relevant? How would they redefine themselves in the internet era? Do owners market their own 'products' better?
For-sale-by-owner site Boliga has proven that, at least in the Danish market, owners actually do a better job of selling their houses, and at a lower cost. Boliga has taken five percent market share within a year, and it anticipates growing to 10 percent by the end of 2014.
Here's what's fascinating: the theory goes that in the principal-broker dynamics of marketplaces, while the broker tend to have better market access and skillsets, principals have a much stronger vested interest to market their product. Ricco Zuschlag, the chief executive of Boliga, says this is evident with owner's listings that are creative, warm, and funny. There's even an owner who did a self-made drone fly-through video to market his house:
I'd have to ask: would your agent do this for you?
4. HipFlat from Thailand
Part of the conference includes a startup pitching segment, and one Southeast Asian startup in particular showed great progress. HipFlat, a consumer-friendly real estate search engine, launched in Thailand one year ago to increase transparency in the fragmented Southeast Asian property markets.
According to HipFlat's founder and CEO Denis Nemtsev, Southeast Asia lacks a centralized source of real estate listings. As a result, most home-seekers start their search with Google and spend days hunting for a dream home on hundreds of different websites. HipFlat fixes this by automatically syndicating property data from various sources, processing and enhancing them with even more information, which is crucial for home-buyers in their decision-making process.
A text-only listing, posted on a public webboard in Thai, can be turned into a beautifully presented property ad, available in multiple-languages, easily-searchable on the map, and complemented with the building's pictures, amenities, neighborhood information, and market trends.
HipFlat's exclusive market data has earned them some very happy users. The startup told me they recently received a message from a condo investor, who initially contacted them several months ago and asked for a list of buildings with achievable rental yield higher than seven percent.
Using the list HipFlat provided, he then went from zero condo investments to 14 purchased units in seven months, each now bringing a steady eight percent in annual rental returns. The company enjoyed explosive organic growth in the past six months, in which 40 percent of the users become repeat visitors. It is now live in two cities, Bangkok and Pattaya, and holds the second spot in the list of most-visited sites in Bangkok's condominium niche.
It plans to add landed properties later this year and expand to more locations, which will help fulfill its growth potential. Last year, HipFlat raised US$335,000 from angel investors and it's currently looking to raise its second round of funding. It is now fundraising on Techlist.
5. Next from Japan demos augmented reality property search
Next Japan, which overtook Recruit as the largest real estate site in Japan, is a legendary David-beat-Goliath stories from the land of the rising sun. And in typical Japanese fashion, they have continued to relentlessly reinvent their user experience. At the conference, Next demonstrated some very thoughtful, almost obsessive design to make real estate search as intuitive as possible even for edge cases like the elderly.
You might ask if there's even a large enough market for these efforts to be worth it. But Japan's greying population may become a significant market. And besides, by pushing the boundaries of obsessiveness, the company could discover new ways of thinking that may lead to breakthroughs in design.
Summing up the conference, organizer Simon Baker said: "This was the first Asian Property Portal Watch Conference after successful events in the US and Europe. Asia is a rapidly growing market for property portals and we saw this as an opportunity to bring together the Asian property portal leaders to discuss the key issues facing their businesses and to identify where the market is heading. The event was very successful with 110 C-Level executives spending three days discussing these key issues."

This gangrenous condition of the face and mouth is known to result from extreme debilitation, and prisoner doctors had no doubt that such debilitation or cachexia (a general wasting of the body) from Auschwitz diet and general conditions was the fundamental. cause of the frequent occurrence in Gypsy children of this ordinarily rare disease. Mengele did not entirely dispute this assumption, as he permitted Professor Epstein to give at least one lecture on noma in which the importance of cachexia was stressed. But Mengele was clearly more interested in a genetic or racial source, so that a prisoner doctor who was given the task of bacteriological work on the condition, could ask, But why did the German physicians, not think, as we thought ourselves, that this noma epidemic was to be attributed to the misery, lack of hygiene and nutrition, to which these children were submitted, rather, than to another cause? Eva C., the artist who worked with Mengele, recalls an incident in which he took her to an extremely debilitated Gypsy boy moribund from advanced noma a little bundle of bones and asked her, Would you believe that this kid is ten years old? C.s sense was that Mengele was not so much commenting on how much younger the boy appeared as implying that this is that kind of race, like he didn't realize that he did it to that kid. This pattern of blaming the victim was especially blatant in Mengeles noma work. Mengele again killed for science. One prisoner doctor told me how Mengele one day brought in two heads wrapped in newspaper children's heads smelling of phenol. It was clear that Mengele had had the children killed in order to make possible their postmortem study, and he was bringing the heads to this doctor for bacteriological examination. Mengeles work on eye color was a particularly strange and revealing episode in his Auschwitz research career. Characteristically, it began with a scientific basis. He regularly sent eyes of Gypsies back to the Berlin Institute, where a study was being conducted of hereditary factors in eye color, with special focus on a condition known as heterochromia of the iris, in which the two eyes of a person are of different colors. A woman physician named Magnussen who worked at the institute was in charge of the eye project. Dr. Nyiszli reports the occurrence of heterochromia, with one blue and one brown eye, in six of eight Gypsy twins he was ordered on one occasion to dissect. His dissection showed that these twins had been killed by phenol injection, though he also found evidence in all of hereditary syphilis and in some of tuberculosis. Mengele said that, because of the syphilis and tuberculosis, they would not have lived in any case a comment Nyiszli took as a signal to write in these diseases THE NAZI DOCTORS: Medical Killing and thePsychology of GenocideRobert J.

Cardinals enter the Sistine Chapel
This handout picture released by the Vatican press office shows cardinals entering the Sistine Chapel before the start of the conclave Tuesday.

The 115 cardinal electors who pick the next leader of 1.2 billion Catholics in a conclave in the Sistine Chapel will live inside the Vatican walls completely cut off from the outside world until they have made their choice.AFP PHOTO/OSSERVATORE ROMANO

These are perilous times for Gov. Chris Christie.
That may seem contradictory; after all, he is riding high with close to 70 percent approval ratings. As he kicks off his re-election bid, he's flush with campaign cash, aided in part by a still-growing national reputation as a no-nonsense politician with a history of bipartisan accomplishment.
What could go wrong?
Anything and everything. With all that good political news come the inevitable efforts to make Christie's entire, carefully built house come tumbling down. Legitimately, opponents are hammering him on a stubbornly high unemployment rate, while also taking up the banner on hot-button social issues such as gay marriage (Christie opposes it).
But in the past week and a half, we've also seen crusades to cut Christie down to size by parsing his statements in ways that strain the bounds of civil political dialogue.
The latest incident came last week when Christie was asked about a bill in the Legislature that would ban the practice of gay conversion therapy. The governor, as he does with nearly all legislation proposed by Democrats, was noncommittal, saying he didn't know much about the practice or the bill. In a long soliloquy, Christie mused about parental rights vs. egregious practice and ended up saying he would have to take a closer look when the bill got to his desk.
But the seven words out of a 324-word response that were seized on by his opponents were, "I'm of two minds on this stuff." The governor's Democratic opponent, Sen. Barbara Buono, delivered a fevered response, calling Christie's comments "disgusting" and an exhibit of a "stunning level of ignorance."
One can argue that being noncommittal on a therapy that appears to be the demented cousin of the Ludovico Technique in "A Clockwork Orange" is fairly ignorant, but then Christie had already said he was not familiar with the practice (his office later said he was opposed to it). He never condemned the bill or said he wouldn't sign it.
Ignorant? Maybe. Disgusting? Overkill, for sure.
That incident, however, pales in comparison to the slicing of a videotape of Christie's recent contentious town hall meeting in Paterson. During that event, the governor got into it with an audience member who repeatedly shouted, "fix the public schools."
Christie's response: "I hear ya, boy, I hear ya."
It was a colloquial remark (a shortened version of "oh, boy") that the governor has used myriad times to pump up the volume on his talking points. But this time it was said to a black man. The exchange was conveniently cut down to "I hear ya, boy" and peddled by liberal blogs as an example of racial insensitivity.
Never mind that the man Christie was speaking to told several news outlets he didn't believe Christie was belittling him when he used the word.
The odd thing about this incident, though, is that in attempting to pump up a controversy over the epithet that wasn't, Christie's opponents stomped all over the legitimate criticism of the governor's clumsy remarks at the same event about Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver.
Christie referred to her, not by name, but by her race and gender, infuriating the speaker. But his comments about the "African-American" speaker faded quickly as a new, more inflammatory narrative was introduced, doing Oliver an injustice.
The governor has a problem here. His heated rhetoric over the past three years has made him a YouTube sensation, known for blunt talk delivered with drama. But that same rhetoric has created a cottage industry of detractors who use those same clips to call him a bully and worse.
So far, this has all played to his advantage, both in New Jersey and nationally, but as the stakes ramp up, as the focus on 2013 combines with the specter of 2016, more people are looking for weaknesses in the Christie armor.
His opponents can legitimately bash him over the Oliver statements, over his veto of gay marriage, over his reluctance to tie minimum wage increases to the Consumer Price Index and over continued high unemployment rates.
What they cannot and should not do is cheapen the dialogue by making stuff up.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- In four days there were two acts of violence at one home in the 1500 block of 24th Street, according to Jacksonville Sheriff's Office police reports.
On July 6, the victim was at home when two men kicked down the back door of her home demanding money, according to the report. The suspects threatened to duct tape her and shoot her if she did not give them money.
The victim did not have money and the suspects then allegedly demanded an ATM card, which they would take her to an ATM machine.
According to the report, JSO officers B.K. Kremler and Gifford arrived during the attempted robbery. The victim exited the residence with the two suspects following her, and one pushed her to the ground.
The suspects ran through the backyard and jumped a fence before police lost them. The victim couldn't describe the suspects because allegedly the men would hit her in the face when she would look up.
On July 10 JSO was dispatched to the same residence but in reference to a shooting, according to another JSO police report.
The victim initially said she was laying in bed when shots were fired through her window. According to the report, the evidence didn't support the story. The victim then changed her story and the report said she thought a friend was climbing in the window. The windows have burglar bars on them and the story did not line up again.
The victim changed the story for the third time. According to the report, the victim said she was standing in the hallway when two man shot four times through the window. JSO found a single bullet hole in the hallway and a projectile on the floor.
No suspects are in custody at this time.
Anyone with information about either case should contact the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office at 904-630-0500.

My photos have been described as colorful, elegant and timeless.

I've cleaned up cupcake stands, dimmed lights, moved chairs, tables and trash cans all in the name of making sure your day is as amazing as possible. Its not hard for me to do when I care about my couples.
