Check the struts for visible sign of leakage. If none are visibly leaking, either/or may be bad. You would have to remove each and manually compress. The weak one is the bad one. Or you could always replace both.

Howard 44, St. John's 79
NEW YORK (AP)—D.J. Kennedy scored 17 points to lead St. John's to a 79-44 win over Howard on Saturday.
Paris Horne had 15 points for the Red Storm (3-1), who led 42-18 at halftime. Justin Burrell had 14 points and Kennedy added 13 rebounds.
Kyle Riley, the lone player in double figures for the Bison (1-3), had 11 points.
Kennedy made three 3-pointers during the Storm's early 15-0 run, helping them to a 19-3 lead in the first half.
St. John's, which built a 57-27 advantage with 13:19 left, finished with 46-percent shooting from the field. The Bison shot 33 percent.
The Red Storm played without senior swingman Anthony Mason Jr., who will miss the rest of the season because of a torn tendon in his right foot.
Mason, who averaged 18 points, was hurt earlier in the week.

San Francisco clinches playoff berth despite 28-point comeback by New England
49ers 41, Patriots 34
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The San Francisco 49ers turned a nearly historic collapse into a stunning victory and a playoff berth.
San Francisco withstood a 28-point comeback by the New England Patriots to win 41-34 on Sunday night in the rain. Michael Crabtree took a short pass from Colin Kaepernick and sped around cornerback Kyle Arrington for a 38-yard touchdown with 6:25 to go, then David Akers made a 28-yard field goal to clinch it.
The 49ers (10-3-1) own at least a wild-card spot and play at Seattle next week with a chance to win the NFC West. A loss would bring the division race down to the final weekend.
Kaepernick threw for four touchdowns, two to Crabtree, who had 107 yards receiving. The defense rattled Tom Brady at times, but also yielded 443 yards passing in a sloppy contest between two of the league's more precise teams.
AFC East champion New England (10-4), which had won seven in a row, trailed 31-3 in the third quarter and lost for the first time at home in December in 21 games. The Patriots also had won 21 in a row in the second half of the schedule before San Francisco somehow regrouped late in a game it seemingly had clinched long before.
San Francisco forced four turnovers, matching the number of giveaways New England had at home all season.
But then the Niners began sleepwalking, and back came Brady and the Patriots on a 6-yard TD run by Danny Woodhead and a 1-yard dive by Brady. A 5-yard pass to Aaron Hernandez and Woodhead's 1-yard run with 12:13 remaining tied it.
And just like that, San Francisco went in front again.
Rookie LaMichael James broke free for a 62-yard kickoff return. On the next snap — the third time the Niners would have a one-play TD drive — Crabtree took a pass on the left side, spun and headed into the end zone.
New England turned over the ball on downs and Akers made his kick. Stephen Gostkowski added a 41-yarder for the Patriots.

How to Create a Virtual Network in Azure
How to Create a Virtual Network in Azure
How to Create a Virtual Network in Azure
Windows Azure Infrastructure Services allow us to create Virtual machines and host them in the cloud while allowing us to connect to each one of them using RDP.
After having created a set of virtual machines required for a particular application, we will require them to be connected to each other and be able to reach each other via definite IP addresses, as we require our virtual machines hosted in an on-premise environment to be connected to each other.
So lets go ahead and explore the step by step process of creating a Virtual network in Windows Azure that allows us to :
1. Create Virtual Networks and assign IP address range to the network
2. Create Subnets within a Virtual Network and assign the subnet ID to each subnet within a Virtual Network.
3. Allows us to extend the connectivity of a virtual network hosted in Windows Azure to specific clients/servers in our on-premise environment (Client to Site Connectivity)
4. Allows us to extend the connectivity of a virtual network hosted in Windows Azure to our entire on-premise Site enabling secure communications between the two sites using an IPSec enabled VPN tunnel.
We will explore capabilities #1 and #2 in the list above in this post.
1. Log in to
with your live credentials that has access to your Windows Azure subscription.
2. Switch to the Networks tab in the management console. You will see 0 networks created as shown:
3. Click "Create a Virtual Network". The following Wizard will appear:
Specify the Name, Region and Affinity Group Details as shown above and click on the Arrow pointing to the right at the bottom right of the window to move to the next step.
4. On the "DNS Servers and VPN Connectivity Page" specify the address of the DNS Server (if you have hosted any on Windows Azure), else leave it blank. The 2 checkboxes on the right provide you with options to extend this network to on-premise. We will explore these capabilities in future posts. At this point, just click on the arrow pointing to the right at the bottom right to proceed to the next step.
5. On the "Virtual Network Address Spaces" page, you will need to configure the IPv4 address range for yout virtual network and all the subnets that you would want to be part of that virtual network.
Note that:
By default, Windows Azure allows you to configure and address space in the ranges of 10.0.0.0, 172.16.0.0 and 192.168.0.0
It allows you to choose a subnet mask based on the no. of host addresses required or based on the CIDR notation. You may switch between the 2 formats from the button in the top right as shown:
After selecting an address range for your virtual network , you may create multiple subnets in the network as shown:
6. Just click in the circle showning the Tick mark at the bottom right to complete the waizard. The virtual network creation starts and the created Virtual Network appears in the management console:
7. You may click the virtual network name to reach the Dashboard and see the virtual machines connected to this Virtual Network:
8. You may click on the "Configure" tab to add/change the DNS configuration, Point to Site connectivity or subnets to this virtual network post its creation:
Happy Virtual networking on Windows Azure!!

November 25, 2015
UNDATED (AP) - The Los Angeles Clippers have concluded a tumultuous weekend with a lopsided loss to Golden State 118-97, evening the NBA first-round series at two games apiece.
Stephen (STEH'-fehn) Curry hit five of his career playoff-high seven 3-pointers in the first quarter and finished with 33 points. Andre Iguodala (ihg-ah-DAH'-lah) added 22 points and nine assists for the Warriors, who led by 20 in the first period.
The blowout came a day after TMZ released an audio recording purportedly of Clippers owner Donald Sterling making racial comments. In the recording the man speaking urges his girlfriend not to bring black friends to Clippers games. The NBA and the Clippers are investigating, including whether the male voice on the recording is in fact Sterling's.
Before the start of the game the Clippers ran out of the tunnel wearing their warm-up uniforms. They huddled together at center court and tossed their warm-ups to the floor and went through their pregame routine with their red Clippers' shirts on inside-out to hide the team's logo.
Magic Johnson weighed in before the game by saying he will never attend a Clippers game again and that commissioner Adam Silver should "come down hard" on Sterling. Johnson says Sterling should not be allowed to own a team.
Michael Jordan says he's both disgusted and outraged by the comments allegedly made by Sterling. President Barack Obama called the comments "incredibly offensive racist statements."
Toronto has knotted its first-round series at two games apiece. DeMar DeRozan dropped in 24 points and Kyle Lowry added 22 as the Raptors knocked off the Nets 87-79 in Brooklyn. Amir Johnson had 17 points for the Raptors, who squandered a 17-point lead and trailed by four before closing on a 14-2 run.

Weather may have delayed Felix Baumgartner's record-breaking "space dive" by another (no doubt torturous) 24 hours, but all going well, the wait is almost over. In just over an hour, proceedings will kick off, and you can watch them live, right here. The latest reports indicated that conditions remain favorable, with the team sending a weather balloon up into the stratosphere earlier this morning. The fun begins at 8:30am eastern, but all you need to do is grab a coffee then head past the break for the live feed.
Update: Pre-flight checks have postponed the set off. Earliest launch is now set for
Update 2: Sorry folks, the launch has been called off due to gusty winds. The team said that tomorrow was a possibility, but until the weather gives way, Felix will remain firmly on the ground.

Recently filed bankruptcy. Lender says term is up. Predatory lender short term and balloon. only interest need advice
More details:
Sign a five year note in 2011 and it is not recorded. Their attorney says term is up and wants a lot of money. We are going nowhere with this loan We built a pole barn that was converted to a off grade house. It is not complete. What can we do I look on the predatory lender website and answered yes to most of the questions. Our bankruptcy attorney has not been able to get a copy of the last loan we signed We did not get a copy.
You can follow answers to this question by subscribing by e-mail.

Answered 2 years ago
Predatory lending is very difficult to prove and, even if proved, the lender still recovers the principal. Note that high interest and balloon term don't mean that there is a claim for predatory lending.

Re: Sister Act
and one is the 2390's version so maybe some time travel happened?
Re: Sister Act
Hey, thats a nice rendering! It wide, but that is a good thing, as you can see two variants of the same class. And I'm not to worried about the missing port side nacelle on the Mk-I Nova. It could be that we just can't see it from this angle.
We actually don't know when the Nova class like the Rhode Island began to receive upgrades. It could have been as early as after the end of the Dominion War, in the last years of the 2370's, or as late as the early or mid 2390's. Personally, I believe that the upgrades began in the early-mid 2380's, when post-Dominion War upgrades and refits began to go into full swing, though it could have also been in the beginnings of the 2390's, when Starfleet most likely be trying to equip Quantum Slipstream to what ever vessels would have at least some sort of compatibility.
I think it would have been no later than 2385, because the Nova class apparently gets another series of upgrades and refits in the 2400's/STO era. It would make more sense for there to be a 15-20 year gap between the upgrades.

It's 'Mare' skippered by German sailor Jorg Riechers and Picardy sailor Pierre Brasseur, who are leading the way this evening, with 'Norma Concept – Le Pal' hot on their heels helmed by Bruno Jourdren and Thomas Ruyant.
The Normandy Channel Race couldn't have hoped for a better start. Finally spring was very much in evidence today. At 1700 hours local time, the temperature off France's Calvados region was up to 20 degrees, with flat seas and about 15 knots of breeze; perfect sailing conditions for the 40 sailors competing in the fourth edition of the Normandy Channel Race.
The fleet got away to a clean start, with 'Geodis' first to cross the start line, followed by 'Norma Concept – Le Pal', 'Red' and 'Made In Normandie'. They were close-hauled as they set a course for the first race mark. Taking the left side of the course offshore of Hermanville-sur-Mer, 'Mare' skippered by Jorg Riechers and Pierre Brasseur, screamed away from their pursuers and were first to round the mark. Beam onto the wind, 'GDF SUEZ' helmed by Sébastien Rogues and Ludovic Aglaor, managed to catch up, as did 'Red', Mathias Blumencron and Boris Herrmann's Roger's design, which was carrying its spinnaker. This was the top trio then at the Luc-sur-Mer mark.
With the wind on their tails, bound for Ouistreham, 'Mare' took a wrong turn and was overtaken by Rogues – Aglaor, 'Campagne de France' skippered by the experienced Mabire – Merron duo, moving up into third place.
Heading back to the original start line position, there was some drama prior to the fleet being released into the English Channel… The race committee read out the ranking. 'Mare' had snatched back her lead, 'Norma Concept – Le Pal' was second, 'GDF Suez' third. Three of the latest Class 40s were leading the way then, two Mach 40s and the Tyker Evolution 3. 'Made in Normandie' sailed by the Nicolas Jossier and Alexandre Toulorge pairing were fourth, 'Campagne de France' fifth, 'Groupe Picoty' helmed by Jean-Christophe Caso and Aymeric Chappellier in sixth.
As we go to press this evening, the fleet is making headway in a regular SSW'ly breeze towards the Saint Marcouf islands. For now, the boats have the tide with them, but the latter is set to turn at 1900 hours local time. As such some major moves may be set up according to their offshore or inshore options. Strategically the fleet will then have to position itself in relation to the first front, which is due to scoop up the sailors early tonight for the cross-channel hop. Fair winds!
As was the case in 2012, locals and tourists alike came out to see off the fleet for today's start of the Normandy Channel Race. Crowds flocked to the Quai Vendeuvre in Caen this morning to bid the crews fair winds as they cast off from the pontoons and prepared to make their way down the canal to Ouistreham, chaperoned by the Navy boat, Vulcain. There was a great throng of onlookers at each lock gate too, keen to be part of the show, which was reminiscent of a Tour de France a la Voile event!
Philippa Hutton-Squire, skipper of the Class 40 'Phesheya-Racing': 'It's my first Normandy Channel Race without Nick Leggatt so for my co-skipper and I it's all about learning the course for ourselves. We're happy that we're not going to have nightmarish conditions for the first few hours of racing. The temperatures will be high with a medium wind. I know my boat inside out and I have a Round the World to my credit, so I'll be able to cope if we get 40 knots in the Irish Sea'.
Pierre Brasseur, co-skipper of the Class 40 'Mare': 'A 20-knot average over the entire course is what we're predicting, with some uncertainty between Tuskar Rock in Ireland and the Fastnet rock, so this Normandy Channel Race will be run in some fairly lively conditions. That's just as well though, because that's how we like it aboard 'Mare'.
Bruno Jourdren, skipper of the Class 40 'Norma Concept – Le Pal': 'There won't be any surprises in the first few hours of racing. The weather appears to be reliable, but in my view it's imperative that we're in the leading group because we'll be punching the tide at Saint Marcouf, so the first to get through it will be off. After that, as we traverse the English Channel, there will be an initial front to negotiate and the tactical positioning in relation to the rest of the fleet will be important. Tomorrow morning we'll tackle the Solent, punching the tide again, with a new active depression. It's from Land's End that things will get spicier with strong to very strong wind forecast. Race Management will have the opportunity to reduce the course if need be'.
Louis Duc, skipper of the Class 40 'Phoenix': 'In principle we'll have more wind than forecast for the Cross-Channel section tonight, with at least 25 knots. We're going to have to take care of our gear and not break anything this early on. From the outset, and even when we have the current in our favour, we're going to have to begin to lay our cards on a tactical level'.
Halvard Mabire, skipper of the Class 40 'Campagne de France': 'It's going to be a pleasant introduction to proceedings. We're going to quickly get in some rest after the start because from midnight and after Saint Marcouf, the wind is set to build in the English Channel. Our sprint along the southern coast of England will be tough, with a front and no less than 25 knots of close-hauled sailing. We're also readying ourselves for some lively conditions in Ireland'.

Hey ladies, I know this guy and he is really nice, attractive, sweet, good job, shows alot of interest in my son (even though they havent met) and he is showing alot of interest in pursuing a relationship and I would be all for it except for one thing- his relationship with his son...About eight years ago, when we first met he was going through a really nasty custody battle for his son with his ex-girlfriend...I remember all the times he would take off work to get visitation with the baby because she wouldnt let him see him (he claims she is mad because he doesnt want her and wont entertain her)....anyway we ended up losing contact and I ran into him a couple of months ago and we agreed to keep in contact and be friends...Now, he is expressing more of a interest but in getting to know each other again, he said he does not see his son...He said that he went to court with his son's mother for the first six years of his son's life, but that any visitation arrangement they would come up with she would break or find excuses why he couldnt go or if he would be ten minutes late bringing the baby back she would note in court as reasons why he shouldnt be around his son...eventually he said he kind of just gave up because he was tired of being hurt and when he would see his son, his son would cry and be upset for having to go with him, and that he didnt really know him..When I get down abt my son's father he always tells me to look at the bright side how I can see my son whenever I want and how much of a blessing I really have and how grateful I should be and I should look at my son's father absence as a blessing because I have little man all to myself....He does pay child support and never misses a payment...But I have a big problem with this..I know I shouldnt judge others but I just dont see how a man can "give up on his child"...I have a son so how can I form a real relationship with this man when I have a baby and he doesnt see his and down the line I want kids, and what if this happens to me...I know there is two sides to every story and of course I have heard from people that know her, that he is a deadbeat...any comments or opinions to help me sort through this situation..I mean he really seems to be a nice guy and someone I could see myself with except for this one thing....
Is there ever a time when not being involved in your child's life is understandable....
In my personal experience if they do not see, do not pay cs or whatever the reason is it is not good enough for me and its a deal breaker. There is no reason not a single one and certainly not a i gave up fighting with her reason. I would say no to a relationship with this person for those exact reasons. He can pursue a relationship with you but he cant with his own flesh and blood? A little boy that he created and should be teaching to tie his shoe and ride his bike? No way, him paying child support is not to make it better either, he does that so he wont get in trouble with the law.
No Bueno
Thanks for your advice Heather, I needed it put in perspective because we all have heard horror stories of mothers who keep their kids away from the dad because she is bitter
ummm this situation is one where i know personally i try not to do. from what youre telling me. he has not shown any signs of being an unfit parent. for some reason she jealous and is using the child against him. she is preventing him from being a good parent. he has tried! that child is going to suffer in the long run, because its the mother that preventing him. so yes its sad but this is very understandable

No one can prevent a parent from being a parent. If you care enough, you'll fight till you're in the grave. I was married to a guy whose ex made his life hell for a while and despite his other VARIOUS faults, he never, ever gave up. It did destroy him to some extent but that's his own fault as he never properly dealt with the situation.
If my daughter's father somehow managed to get custody, I'd never live another day without trying to get her back or be in her life. There are too many men who decide that it's not worth the trouble, IMO. I would honestly have more respect for a man who said that he wasn't interested in being a father than one who tried to blame the mother for his not being involved.
My former stepson's mother did everything. Two minutes late to pick-up and he'd miss an entire weekend of visitation. She filed for contempt of court constantly over nonsense. It was awful. Constant walking on eggshells to make sure she wasn't upset. Not once did my ex ever say "well, maybe it's not worth it." If ever there was reason, she was it.

How has he tried? Because he showed up for a court hearing or 2? We dont know if he did everything he could to get what needed to be done.....he might not be telling you everything because he will be looked at in a negative light to someone he is trying to hook up with, no thank you.
And I can talk from experience because my ex was the ex that filed custody papers on me and then we fought for 2 years, i had 2 years of proving him an unfit parent, he lost all custody because he didnt show up for court and 4 months later when he figured life out had the case opened back up and we started it all over again. I am a ball buster, i was not out to ruin his life but to protect Hannahs little heart from being hurt all the time and now 5 years later he has worked up to getting 2 nights a week and ADORES his daughter.... i am sorry nothing that she has said make me get the vibe this guy has "tried" and i am sorry paying child support once it is ordered, and most of the time he wouldnt even have to be at the court hearings, does not mean hes a stand up guy! CS can be ordered and men are fools if they dont pay it, specially if they live in a state taht will do damage to them! That is what my ex did, he always paid cs even if he wasnt seeing Hannah because he knew that is what would bite his ass!
I just dont get where you think this guy has "tried" no all i see is he gave up! AND on top of that uses the excuse, she wont work with me because i wont be with her or entertain her. Please these men think too highly of themselves.
I do agree and thats why I have reservations about him because I could not imagine not fighting for my child..I tried to talk to him and tell him a nice way that I didnt respect him not fighting for his child and he kind of just said her keeping his child from him breaks his heart and he couldnt take it anymore...he said he told his son that he always has open arms to him and he can come and see him whenever he wants (I guess if the mother lets him) The thing that made me question him was when he happened to mention that his mother had his son, and when he walked in the room his son looks like he doesnt know him...so I was like huh so the girl lets his mother see the baby but not you...and in that case why dont u just go to your mothers house whenever she gets him...but then he said it was only one time...ladies after seeing it on paper and thinking through it I cant see giving him much of a chance
I can't completely see where everyone is coming from but I'm about one step ahead of you Mommy2B0816. I've been dating a guy for over a year and a half and he adores my daughter. People see them together and can't believe it isn't her dad. Her dad lives about 4 hours away and is involved "when he wants to be." My b/f on the other hand, has kids from other women. Its hard NOT to judge men when you hear their sides of the story...but the majority of us on here are women and think like women. There are A LOT of men who would fight to their grave for their child...but you don't see very much of that.
In the state of FL, if 2 unwed people have a child, there is a statue (law) that says the mother IS the natural guardian. Put yourself in their shoes. If both parents are great parents and fit parents, what gives the mom more right over the father? Don't get me wrong, my daughter's father would have to kill me before he takes her away from me...but given how hard it is for a father just to visit their kids, let alone have custody of them. I've read horror stories in magazines of all kinds of things moms have done just "to get back" at their child's father. My b/f is a great dad but fighting a court battle is A) time consuming B) financially consuming...and not to mention, his children live in another state. His son's mother tried to increase child support b/c she doesn't want to get a real job and he had to fly to NY twice just to fight it. It's unreal how sometimes the laws aren't in their favor.

thank you! (lady above me) I believe that he does love his son but at the same time courts already favor for the mother NATURALY! so when she comes in there a makes false claims and he keeps bringing her to court. its going to very hard for him to prove his point. You stated that he was coming to get his child and look what happened. if he was late he couldnt see the child or she would tell the courts that. He is doing the best he can i appluad him in trying! because some men dont do that

I think that if you REALLY want to be a part of your child's life, then there is NOTHING that should be able to keep you from doing that! Where there's a will, there's a way!!
Smile; people will wonder what you're up to!

You all know that we've never been huge fans of Kim Kardashian, but one thing we've always liked about her is her curvacious body, and the fact that she refuses the size zero trend! But now it seems things have changed, at least if you're gonna believe the Us Weekly cover shot of Kim. Kim looks really thin on the cover and inside you can read all about her diet and exercise. "I wake up and eat eggs with turkey bacon, then salad for lunch and fish, pasta or chicken for dinner," Kim says in the interview.
The gossip site Celebitchy chose not to believe this article. According to them, the photo of Kim has been extremely Photoshopped and also dated. The fact that Kim claims she's a size 2, when she in August told Cosmopolitan that she's a size 4 also seems a bit strange. What do you think? Is the cover and the story real? However, we're so disappointed at Kim! Faking a diet or caving for the size zero standards, we can't decide what's worse. (celebitchy)

I have a love/hate relationship with the 70s. I grew up in the 70s and have good memories of them. Loved classic rock, hated disco. Loved the new age occult revival, could have cared less about some of the other stuff. I grew up then, but consider myself a child of the 80s.
Damnation Decade though is the pure raw distillation of everything 70s, good and bad, into one awesome game. It is a historical game, in the same way Ghosts of Albion is about 1839. Damnation Decade takes a wrong turn in 1974 down a dead end. The world is sort of like ours, yet also very different in some key respects. Damnation Decade is also quite possibly the one RPG product to ever tacitly or implicitly illustrate that things under President Ford could have been a lot worse that what we really got. Reading through Damnation Decade is at the same time a trip down memory lane and an exercise in identifying puns and analogues to our real world. Green Ronin: did we really need a world where folk singer Edmund Fitzgerald sings about the Wreck of the Gordon Lightfoot? But I guess you are forgiven by giving us the first RPG product to feature a real Fantasy Island.
It reminds me of another great game, Solid!, which is also about the 70's. If Solid! is Parliament, then Damnation Decade is Grand Funk Railroad. Damnation Decade though gives something that Solid lacks; memorable NPCs. Sure if you can get past that most of them are amalgams of 4 or 5 70s figures, for example Humboldt Suede is not just a bad Hugh Heffner rip-off, he is part Hugh Hefner, Bob Guccione AND the Son of Satan. Though some are original enough to be useful outside the 70s atmosphere; Theramin Hunker for example could work well (maybe even better) in 21st Century games full of conspiracies.
Damnation Decade works great as a d20 game AND it has a True20 appendix that might even be better.

I am a child of the 70s.
Born in the latter half of the coolest century, while I hung out in my cribs I got to hear all the cool music, see all the wild styles and smell all the ? interesting? err.. aromas that made the 70s what they are. I miss this decade, for what I saw of it. Apparently Green Ronin missed it too, as they have put together a very creative and groovy piece with Damnation Decade, a unique campaign world for either the d20 Modern or True 20 ruleset.
Fans of the 70s will mark out to Damnation Decade. There are a few good 70s campaign setting books running around the d20 world, and it is obvious that the writers of Damnation did not want to rehash what is already out there. Instead Damnation Decade focuses on sci-fi of the 70s, complete with far out space men and an impending apocalypse.
Though the book is initially written in d20 Modern terms, the feel and simplicity of the campaign setting lends itself more to True 20. A short Appendix includes a conversion for the system, including the conversion of the Modern?s Advanced classes into feats.
Once again, a near perfect example of prose from Green Ronin details a 70s earth that is on the brink of destruction. Taken with a bit of tongue in cheek, the book begins with a comical brochure from a bad travel agency that updates you about the continents of the world and the disasters they have endured so far this decade.
The PDF is separated into two sections in the spirit of my reviews, a player and a gamemaster section. In addition to the True 20 Appendix, there is an additional appendix that provides a list of media for adventure inspirations.
For the Player
The Players Section begins with a bit of history of the 70s, the last decade or so rewritten from a cheesy sci-fi point of view. Not too heavy, it?s a pretty fun read as you try to guess how many elements of movies like Logan Run you can identify. The Players section then moves into elements that you?d hope to find. There are two new language skills and a new skate skill, none of which were really exciting. More creativity was put into the feats and 11 new Advanced Classes, all spiritedly written and flavored.
Omega Ball, the most popular sport in damnation decade, is detailed also, and comes off very much like Lacrosse but more violent than the game played by our friends to the North. The ruleset is nice, and this can easily be modified for other settings with some slight tweaks.
The best parts of the player section are the new psychic rules and the equipment section. How can you go wrong with stats for hoopties and goblins.
For the Game Master
The Game Master section is divided into two sections. The first section is part monster, part NPC, part plot hooks. The listing of villains an adversaries for your party is impressive as each entry, all ten, contains adventure hooks, their place in the universe and goals of the villain. There?s all to pick a favorite when each one is given a strong dose of writing and attention.
The second section is a collection of tips and hints on running Damnation Decade. Though very helpful, some list previously mentioned villains which seems a bit ackward considering the placement of the hint. I?d have rather of seen them with the actual villain.
The Iron Word
Whether you?re using d20 Modern or True 20, this is a good modern sci-fi campaign setting. Whether you were born in the 70s or a snapper of the 90s, you?ll enjoy the atmosphere of the writing and the crunch that goes along with it. Gamemasters whom appreciate detail will have enough material to recreate any of your favorite 70s movies, or make new ones.
: - Good writing, the usual from Green Ronin
- Attention to detail is nice
- The pyschic powers is different and useful. You could borrow this for other settings.
- Clear and cut rules for true 20
- Unlike other multisystem books, this book has crunch for both systems
- appendix of movies for you to order on netflix
: - Some of the classes and feats were not interesting once stripped of their flavor
- Love the Game master section; wished the organization of it was tighter
: Excellent
: Satisfied

Bought this hoodie for football, to wear for the warm up. The material is light and quality is good. The stripes are on the hood which is different and cool. Also the thumb holes on sleeves are unique. I am a medium usually, due to my broad shoulders, and thought I would buy a large to fit loose and make sure the sleeves are long enough for the thumb holes. This hoodie fits slim, as a running hoodie should and fits me perfectly. Not loose. I am a 42" chest and a 34" waist. A great price for a different quirky hoodie. ... read more
This hoodie is a great purchase, it fits well, not baggy at all but still gives plenty of room to move about in it. The material is high quality, lightweight, breathable, but still gives warmth on colder days. Definitely worth it! ... read more
Pros: - nice feel to the fabric: soft, lightweight and warm, but also feels reasonably durable - Snug fit - Hood stripes are nice (slightly redder than in the photo though) Cons - The odd loose strand of string ... read more
I love this hoodie: it's extremely comfortable, looks great and very warm. I especially love the thumbholes on the sleeves which helps cover my hands and wrist. I would recommend this as an essential bit of kit for your runs when it comes the harsh winter months. ... read more
It's a great fit and lightweight too. I bought it for fashion rather than purpose - I'm a runner, but I don't think I could wear this while running, but it is perfect for warmth post run! Also, I agree with the other reviewer - ALL adidas clothing comes up small - no matter what item of clothing I buy, I always get it in a larger size! Good value for the cost too ... read more
The icon response hoodie is a very comfortable and fits perfectly, keeping me warm but not too hot when I am running, training and just hanging about around the house. The material feels like quality and colour is soothing and fits with my other kit. I have had several people comment on it and ask where I got it from as they fancy getting one as well. All in all a great buy and one of those bits of clothing I just can't stop wearing, so I will be getting another. ... read more
Adidas has never been a brand that I have bought gym wear from.... up until now. the quality and fit of the hoodie was surprising and I would definitely recommend them as a leading brand to buy sports wear from. I have also even been complimented on it in the gym asking where it was from! ... read more

SAN DIEGO (WVLT) -- San Diego has signed former Tennessee quarterback Jonathan Crompton to its practice team.
The move comes one day after the Chargers cut Crompton.
San Diego took Crompton in the fifth round of this year's NFL draft, but the QB struggled in preseason games. Crompton connected on 18 of 33 passes for 204 yards, but he threw three interceptions and was sacked five times.

Harvey and Talia are different. Batman tackled Harvey Dent to prevent him from killing a child it just so happened that tackle resulted in Harvey falling off Unguarded Contstruction Site 272-A and supposedly dying.
That's still killing him, though, which was my point. When you tackle someone off the edge of a construction site at that height and they're completely unprotected in any way, you're making the choice to potentially kill them.
The Joker even says outright in the film that he expects to see Batman break his "one rule", and the end of the film pays this off.

That argument was on dubious ground to begin with, and with the release of TDKR it was fully extinct. Much like Harvey.

Talia is sort of in the same route, she died by the circumstances she was in, it was a crash in which she suffered fatal injuries.
So she died from bad driving? And I take it the truck driver died from heart failure, as opposed to the explosive rounds being fired in his general direction?
You get hurt, hurt 'em back. You get killed, walk it off.

Titus Andronicus
Disch, Thomas M., The Nation
The eleventh offering of the Shakespeare Festival was reassuringly run-of-the-mill. Titus Andronicus is not a play likely
to shiver anyone's more sublime timbers, but,it is a rip-snorting, blood-and thundering melodrama in what must have been, even on its opening night, the worst possible taste. It opens with a pile of corpses, and the carnage continues at a steady pace, including at least three scenes so awesomely offensive that any contemporary play or movie that depicted the same events with similar energy would surely provoke Jesse Helms and the rest of the Senate to paroxysms of legislation.
Titus is so simple in its appeal and its actorly demands that I can't imagine a production failing to convey some sense of its glorious excess. However, the most recent offerings in the Shakespeare Festival's marathon - Cymbeline and an allstar Twelfth Night - received such unanimous pans (I was away from the city and missed both) that I did not approach the Delacorte Theater in Central Park with much hope. The one way Titus can be botched is to treat the Grand Guignol elements in the manner of Noh theater, with slow-motion ritualistic mayhem and crimson ribbons to represent blood as though to say, Just pretend this isn't happening."
Director Nichael Maggio, imported from Chicago's Goodman Theater, has created a Titus that is reasonably ghastly and gallops along at a good clip. Donald Moffat in the title role is good at rugged majesty, and if he doesn't reach the highest altitudes of tragedy in the scenes with his mutilated daughter, that is as much the fault of Shakespeare's strain-
ing poesy as Moffat's delivery. Pamela Gien is a vivid Lavinia, both in the scenes of her ravishment and of her mute sufferings, though in the later scenes she is necessarily limited to the tragic heights that Titus and his brother Marcus (Jon De Vries) can mount to.
De Vries and other good guys did their jobs well enough; but this is a play in which the villains have all the best lines, and the villains were wonderful, especially Kate Mulgrew as the vile Tam ora, Queen of Goth. In her most ignominious scene, as she urges her doltish sons Bill Camp and Don Harvey, and hard to say which was nastier) to rape Lavinia, Mulgrew epitomizes the play's distinctive spirit of gleeful evil. Sin for sin, not even Richard III can compare with Tamora for exultant infamy.
One of Tamora's sins, however, is her love for Aaron the Moor Keith David), and that is rather touchy, since the Andronicus clan make it very clear that they don't like blacks in their neighborhood. They become abusive to Aaron's infant son. Racial epithets are not infrequent. One can sympathize with Keith David's reluctance to steep himself in villainy as zestfully as Mulgrew, since to do so would be to represent just that stereotype of the black male that bigots since the time of Shakespeare have loved to hate. He does seem to enjoy himself when he's murdering the nurse, but then he is being Machiavellian, which is a higher, even kingly form of villainy.
As Satuminus, Don McManus is properly asinine, though I wonder how much of the effect he creates is the work of Lewis Rarnpino, who designed lus silly imperial get-up. The costumes are generically Olden, such as one might wear to any Renaissance fair-which is exactly right for a play so carelessly anachronistic. John Lee Beatty's set, a double colonnade painted a dark ash-gray that arcs around a central platform like the cross section of a little Coliseum, is serviceable and effective - and should be put into mothballs until the Shakespeare Festival has another go at Julius Caesar. Serviceable-that was the keynote of this production, and (in light of what's gone before) its badge of honor. My one real disappointment was with the banquet scene. The progeny pot pie that was served up to Tamora looked like a Sara Lee cheesecake. Tamora tucked into it with little show of appetite (no doubt that's how she's kept her girlish figure), and she'd consumed no more than a tablespoon of white crumbles
when Titus murders his daughter for honor's sake, reveals his cheesecake recipe and signals the final slaughter, which takes place too quickly for its particulars to be savored. …

MasqueradeColored masks danced over the colored tile of the ballroom floor. Rich fabrics of countless colors moved with the masks as if they were connected by some invisible thread of a puppeteer. A diamond and gold chandelier hung from center of the dome painted with images of nymphs and satyrs drinking from golden goblets, dancing and laughing in an almost mirror image of the masks below. Music came from a hidden place, creating a space of ecstasy for each and every mask to throw away anything that was on their mind and to fill their head with nothing but music and pleasure. A lone figure in coal and blood attire looked on from the balcony as the masks moved with the music. He did not wear a mask like the others. Instead his hood was pulled over his face, shrouding it in darkness. A better disguise than anything they could ever think of, he thought. He walked down the golden steps and into the sea of painted faces. At times a stray f
The Unforgettable Circus A small town is where we begin our story. It's not on a map, if you're wondering. Believe me, I've checked. Now you may be wondering what's so special about this particular small town and I'll tell you, but before I do, there's something you need to know: not everything is as it's seems. The story I'm about to tell you is no different. In this particular town, like any, there were groups. In this town's case, the groups were divided in an interesting way: those who would engage in out-of-house activities weekly, and those who did it monthly. It may not seem like much to an outsider like yourself, but in this little town it was everything. As a matter of fact, such a thing could make or break a relationship. Don't believe me; ask one of the citizens, if you can. It may be difficult at first, but I'm sure that, after you've finished reading, you'll see how one event can change a person foreve

The Mental Virtues
The Mental Virtues (David Brooks 08/29/14 NYT) Character and Thinking, the important elements; Is it possible to display and cultivate character if you are just an information age office jockey, alone with a memo or your computer?
Love of learning. Some people are just more ardently curious than others, either by cultivation or by nature.
Second, there is courage. The obvious form of intellectual courage is the willingness to hold unpopular views. But the subtler form is knowing how much risk to take in jumping to conclusions. (Intellectual courage is self-regulation, Roberts and Wood argue, knowing when to be daring and when to be cautious.)
Third, there is firmness. You don't want to be a person who surrenders his beliefs at the slightest whiff of opposition. On the other hand, you don't want to hold dogmatically to a belief against all evidence. The median point between flaccidity and rigidity is the virtue of firmness. Firmness is a quality of mental agility.
Fourth, there is humility, which is not letting your own desire for status get in the way of accuracy. The humble person fights against vanity and self-importance. He's not writing those sentences people write to make themselves seem smart; he's not thinking of himself much at all. The humble researcher doesn't become arrogant toward his subject, assuming he has mastered it. Such a person is open to learning from anyone at any stage in life.
Fifth, there is autonomy. You don't want to be a person who slavishly adopts whatever opinion your teacher or some author gives you. On the other hand, you don't want to reject all guidance from people who know what they are talking about. Autonomy is the median of knowing when to bow to authority and when not to, when to follow a role model and when not to, when to adhere to tradition and when not to.
Finally, there is generosity. This virtue starts with the willingness to share knowledge and give others credit. But it also means hearing others as they would like to be heard, looking for what each person has to teach and not looking to triumphantly pounce upon their errors.
The mind is embedded in human nature, and very often thinking well means pushing against the grain of our nature — against vanity, against laziness, against the desire for certainty, against the desire to avoid painful truths. Good thinking isn't just adopting the right technique. It's a moral enterprise and requires good character, the ability to go against our lesser impulses for the sake of our higher ones.

Study Questions Fat and Heart Disease Link - NYTimes.com
Study Questions Fat and Heart Disease Link - NYTimes.com: "Many of us have long been told that saturated fat, the type found in meat, butter and cheese, causes heart disease. But a large and exhaustive new analysis by a team of international scientists found no evidence that eating saturated fat increased heart attacks and other cardiac events."
So, another long-standing medical axiom seems to have bitten the dust.
I have always maintained that reasonably healthy people who eat a balanced diet will remain reasonably healthy. Given the diversity in the genetic makeup of our bodies, a one-rule-fits-all formulaic approach can only be relevant to average people. Of course, none of us is 'average.' We are all unique.
I believe we will eventually learn what foods are best for each of us based on our genome. We are getting closer to that goal as research gallops ahead.

The future of jobs: The onrushing wave | The Economist
We are in for a long , difficult economic and societal dilemma as spelled out in this piece. The political expression of it is the growing gap between the rich and the poor and the hollowing out of the middle class that politicians bloviate about without offering any real solutions. Perhaps they fail to understand or believe the underlying problem, opting instead to try and legislate job growth..
I'm reading this book, The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies, referenced in the Economist story, which provides deep insight about the disruption of the traditional economic expectations.
"In a forthcoming book Thomas Piketty, an economist at the Paris School of Economics, argues along similar lines that America may be pioneering a hyper-unequal economic model in which a top 1% of capital-owners and "supermanagers" grab a growing share of national income and accumulate an increasing concentration of national wealth. The rise of the middle-class—a 20th-century innovation—was a hugely important political and social development across the world. The squeezing out of that class could generate a more antagonistic, unstable and potentially dangerous politics.I believe it's different this time because of the blinding pace of technological change and the ability to explore new models of productivity, work and service, nearly all of which reduce the human labor content in many previously 'safe' occupations.
The potential for dramatic change is clear. A future of widespread technological unemployment is harder for many to accept. Every great period of innovation has produced its share of labour-market doomsayers, but technological progress has never previously failed to generate new employment opportunities."
Our institutions are more deeply entrenched and harder to change. Poorly educated people do not stand a chance for their insufficient skills to command a good-paying job in this new economy. With more generous government benefits, the incentive to work disappears from most folks.

New Health Law Frustrates Many in Middle Class - NYTimes.com
The more I read about the failings of ObamaCare, not the website mess which can be fixed, but the underlying framework, the more I'm convinced it will fail. It is enormously complex with the net effect being higher costs for too many middle class people.
Perhaps it was constructed as an interim step destined to fail so that insurance companies would not suddenly fail. Was it designed with a small likelihood of success in an attempt to make single-payer a last resort option, which is what Obama, Dean, Shumlin and other liberal Democrats obviously prefer.
The political calculus in all this is fascinating to watch as it unfolds. The Democrats have a lot to lose in the 2014 election. The Republicans have a lot to gain, but being against ObamaCare is not by itself a winning strategy. They must come forth unified with a better plan. That should coalesce and be heavily promoted beginning in April with a solid strategy for implementation on the national level.
Without a viable plan they will fail to win the electorate. For me, any viable plan must include cost control. That means rationing and convincing providers and patients to accept it, a tall order.
"...An analysis by The New York Times shows the cost of premiums for people who just miss qualifying for subsidies varies widely across the country and rises rapidly for people in their 50s and 60s. In some places, prices can quickly approach 20 percent of a person's income..."The Republicans need to focus on fixing ObamaCare by strongly and truthfully promoting a rational solution. They must win a majority in the Senate and retain control of the House with majorities to override potential vetoes by Obama in 2015 and 2016.
Single payer will not easily be accepted because trust in 'big government' is at an historic low, even among Democrats. The folks are unlikely to believe that they can pull off a single-payer plan.
I wonder if they're up to the task?

Didn't have time to comment yesterday.
Just wanted to let you know this is trully brilliant!
Your framing and camera position is perfect.
The processing is just breathtaking, Tommy!
Your control over HDR (something I normally hate!) is really inspiring, and not only have you achieved the Goldilocks Zone of light and shade, but the subtlety of the colours you have brought out is just incredible!
This is real mastery in action! You should be giving lessons.
Can't award at the moment, but if I could, I would.
I can't praise this enough.
All the best
