Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
That is pretty interesting.
I had thought he was signed.
Wht team was his last NRI with?
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
First AAA appearance:
2/3 IP, 1 hit....2 K's, 4BB... 2ER
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
He'll fit right in with the Cubs' bullpen pitchers
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Has anybody read about whether the media asked Sveum after yesterday's game about his peculiar decision to have Castro bunt?
EDIT: Never mind. I see there is an article up now on the trib site.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Soriano's RISP numbers are actually pretty good so far.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Incredible- Last year the team was so anemic you couldn't hope for a clawback win like this.

Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
ROB G: Greenville (South Atlantic League) is the Red Sox Low-A affiliate (like Peoria).
Salem (Carolina League) is their Hi-A club.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
at least someone isn't drinking the mark appel koolaid.
he's top-5 good...but overblown as a #1 overall pick, imo.
nice to see zunino get some love at #2...if the cubs had the #1 overall pick i'd be looking at him even with the need for pitching.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Chicago Cubs
Albert Almora, CF, Mater Academy Charter (Hialeh Gardens, Fla.)
The Cubs also have their eyes California prep lefty Fried and Puerto Rico's Correa. Almora, who has an advanced feel for hitting and good range in center, is the likely favorite here.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
"Stephen Stasburg was bothered by stray Hot Stuff in his groin during Tuesday's loss to the Padres."
hot stuff = icy hot = why are you sharing this with the media

Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse

Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Making your best pitcher lose a game for your team is a pretty good prank.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
See? It could be worse...
From Yahoo:
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly apparently values speed at the top of the order more than on-base skills. "Dropping Dee in the order sounds really easy," said Mattingly. "But then who do you want me to hit there?" Mattingly dismissed both Mark Ellis and A.J. Ellis as options, even though both have an OBP over .400. Mattingly did allow that when Tony Gwynn Jr. and Gordon are in the lineup, he'd be willing to put Gwynn ahead of Gordon.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
I have to say, I'm getting a bit perturbed by Castro's meager development. I know he's only 22 but after two full seasons in the majors the evolution seems pretty glacial. He's almost dead last in pitches seen per plate appearance in the NL, and the 4 BBs is terrible. The power numbers are static, and that brain-freeze last night on the bunt was inexcusable. Last year Castro both looked better and performed better when leading off. I think he focused more and really did make a solid attempt to work the count and get on base. With LaHair losing out on RBI opportunities, I would really prefer to see Castro move back up into the lead-off role. Bat Campana second and then LaHair third so he has more at bats. Not going to happen I know, but the structure of this line-up really feels like it is hurting the two best hitters on the team for no good reason.
Re: Game 36 Thread - Maholm vs. Lohse
From a purely observational standpoint I would agree, but last year his numbers were much worse hitting third. This year he's hitting well, so I don't think his place in the order has any bearing on his performance. Maybe he's trying to be more aggressive in potential RBI situations, but he'll figure that out eventually. He's still the best hitter on the team and they actually have a good OBP guy in DeJesus in front of him now, so there appears to be a semblance of a plan.

...the wrong half.
there's nothing like crapping out of the playoffs with a strong/young cheap team after pinching pennies for years then having theo talk about having to be creative with money to make things work for 2016...but hey, baseball isn't baseball without a farmer's market and beer garden plaza with ice rinks.
they can do both...then again, if you want to look at it from a business point of view, they don't have to do both because the team is expected to be competitive and the merch+tickets+eyes-on-team are going to be at a peak unless they fail badly.
Really ?
They are trying to bring the facility to the 20th century.
I think they know what they are doing.
With the Cubs adding Pierce Johnson to their roster and not exposing/losing him to the Rule 5 Draft keeps the trade ancestry tree alive that started in 1999 with Tom Gordon and undrafted Adam Morrissey and includes 17 players, the trade tree progressed to involve the Hee Sop Choi for Derrek Lee deal and the famous Aramis Ramirez/Kenny Lofton deal..Pierce Johnson is the compensation pick for Aramis Ramirez in 2012

Politics Counts
Obama dithers while the country burns.
Since Michelle isn't around, Tiger is going to give Barack some hints on how to use his putter.
Calvin Coolidge played golf with Bobby Jones.
Grover Cleveland played golf with Harry Vardon.
Arrogance versus arrogance!
after they spent 6 trillion, and didn't create any jobs?
in the first months of his first term.
Alll you libbies complained about how much Bush golfed....at least he quit during the war.
Obama golfed endlessly during his endless war...and that didn't bother you, huh?
Phil was also invited, but he declined, saying he was too busy in California paying his taxes.
after doing such a bang up job of peace in the middle east, jobs for all, less in need and on food stamps, and a united country, all working together.
Why would President Obama be seen golfing with a cheater like Tiger Woods? Is Obama also planning on cycling with Lance Armstrong??
I heard he didn't have time to attend Chris Kyle's funeral, or say any words about him.
Maybe he is getting some tips on how to tax Sport Enhancement Drugs.
"Obama said in an interview with Fox News Channel that Woods will still be a ''terrific'' golfer despite his personal issues."
Now we know the price for which Obama will prostitute himself and the Presidency of the United States.
So he's a shooter AND a golfer. A real man's man our Obama!
So he's a shooter and a golfer. A real man's man our Obama.
Bush cycled with Lance Armstrong. Lance is a liar and cheater. Pretty much describes the GOP! LOLOLOL!
"batching it" ...nice!
The King vacationed in Hawaii in December, then back to Hawaii in January and now on Spring Break in Florida. Nike probably told Woods , no pictures with Obama.
I'm so glad he's enjoying himself, and hanging out with this perv.
Funny, this isn't getting the attention in the media that it should be.
The president of a bankrupt government is irrelevant.
Lance Armstrong also visited Clinton, and was in tight with Kerry. He is a fellow Texan to Bush, but not necessarily a political ally. You are lol ing that lance is a liar and a cheater....well, you better do some reading because he was not a Bush fan, but is an Obama fan. LOLOLOLOLOLOL liars are cheaters, birds of a feather?
Armstrong, as a cancer survivor, said that he was thinking about one thing....that when the bike ride was over, he would ask Bush for big money to fight the disease.
"That's not to say that I support this president or I support his policies. But when you get the opportunity to go and ask that question, you have to go."
described himself as " middle to left".
Pro choice, not keen on guns, against the iraq war, for separation of church and state.
Sounds like a Democrat to me.
Bush isn't as arrogant as obama, he could actually be seen with people who were not his political persuasion.
Obama remains silent on Chris Kyle.
If it comes down to money....Obama is probably looking for cash from Tiger.
While it was Lance looking for money from Bush.
and a liar.
He was a bully too.
Hanging with Oprah....yep, liberal traits.
Did Lance help buy his freedom with a $100, 000 donation to planned parenthood?
Birotte, recently appointed to his job, perhaps also didn't want to have an ugly spectacle during a re-election year, indicting an american hero, on obama's watch?
On the same day that Lance's case was dropped, the Lance Armstrong Foundation donated $100,000 to Planned Parenthood...he joined Bloomberg, who also made a big donation, around the time that the Komen-planned parenthood controversy that would have removed funding from the business was in the news.
The Livestrong CEO appeared on "MSNBC" to announce the donation.....that ain't Fox news.
Perhaps the press should be more concerned with the taxpayers' cost of POTUS' golf outing (and FLOTUS' ski trip) than its own self interest. Who cares whether the press was allowed to walk the links? What the taxpayers care about is the waste -- not just hauling POTUS around to play golf, but hauling around the press as well (or does the press actually pay the full cost of their transport?).
Seems they think that Armstrong is a Republican?
Far from it.
so does Tiger.....so does honey boo boo.
enuf said.
according to another site, the sister of a girl who attended Mr. Obama's event in Chicago was shot and killed in Chicago last night. The optics aren't very good. Drop into Chicago for a few hours to make a pitch but then go off to Florida to vote while the violence continues in Chicago. While another day in Chicago would not end the violence, the contrast between putting in some additional time on a subject Mr. Obama claims is important to him and going golfing with a celebrity does not reflect well on Mr. Obama. But, Mr. Obama once called multiple times for passage of a bill that he hadn't written yet. Nor did he address violence in Chicago last year when 500 people were killed (more than the number of US troops killed in Afghanistan). He gives the appearance of someone who fails to understand that flowery rhetoric alone doesn't solve problems.
Oscar Pistorius supports the GOP. He supports guns and violence against women, two pillars of the GOP. Remember, they voted against the violence against women act
Remember ... "we all must sacrifice"
HA HA HA I just love to see the heads explode on Murdouks WSJ - Tiger Woods? Y'all all jealous.
It must have been a sacrafice to reschedule the skeet shooting.
I am working today while my President plays another round of golf!
What happened to everyone doing their share?
Golf is a noun, it is the name of a game. One plays golf, one does not golf. As far as the optics of Obama and Woods, I think they are birds of a feather, one disrespects his fans one disrespects his constituency.
It is also a verb. You racist creeps would complain if Obama handed out twenty dollar bills. You have cornered the market on disrespect , ignorance, and anti-patriotism.
It is also a verb. You racist know nothings would complain if Obama handed out ten dollar bills. You have cornered the market on disrespect, ignorance, and hatred of country.
This President knows how to have fun and lots of it. He says one thing when he in front of a microphone and walks away and does something that rubs everyone's eyes. In the firt 4 years, this President played more than 300 rounds of golf. Shouldn't there be some media scrutiny on this and little outrage?
@ Lawrence Don't be ridiculous, Lawrence -- he is handing out food stamps and obamaphones as fast as he can, and all you have to do is promise to vote Democrat.
More quality from our vapid, do-no-good president. Off golfing, hangin with celebs, and his family sucks down taxpayer dollars skiing out West. The good life. Normally I'd not care about this, but Democrats spend all their time villifying the rich. Obama says one thing and does another. He is consistent about that, I have to give him credit.
also, he is going to raise the minimum wage to $9.00/hr. I dont know of many uneducated people that are worth that amount. Another gut shot to small business owners.
Transparency - now there's a laugh..
You learn a lot about someone when playing golf together. I wonder what each learned?
I love it that the Wall Street Journal has turned into People Magazine.
Obama's spent endless hours playing with Bobby Titcomb who pled "no contest" for approaching an undercover officer for sex and now he plays golf with an admitted sexoholic ironically named Woods who bagged countless porn stars and presumably at least one Olympian.
So much for the company one keeps, which given Obama's other questionable affiliations (Wright, Ayers, Jones et al) matters little to him, nor how it really does reflect poorly on the presidency.
Did they have illegal aliens carrying their clubs too?
Welcome to the GOP - the Whigs of tomorrow. Enjoy your upcoming irrelevance! LOLOL!
Obama is merely following the lead of JFK, who was a very good golfer but chose to conceal his passion for the game lest it reflect poorly on his populist posturing with voters. The reason Mitt Romney didn't get slammed for playing an elitist game is....he doesn't. Maybe he should have made more of it during the election campaign. But that would have been taking the low road, already occupied by BHO.
So Obama golfs in FLA with the rich and famous while his wife and girls ski out west. Doesn't that cost those of us who actually pay taxes DOUBLE for their travel and security? In the mean time, Obama's too busy to submit a budget which was due BY LAW a week or so ago. He has zero concern for the finances of this country and the taxpayers who pay.
Call it: Are you suggesting Obama playing golf with Woods in a gated enclave of wealth in Florida, while his wife is also off on her second vacation of the year (in another wealthy enclave) is going to harm the GOP's future? Good luck with that one.
I can understand Obama and Tiger playing golf together. After all they have some common interests. Tiger screwed every broad that would let him and Obama screws..everybody!
It should be: OBAMA GOOFS WITH TIGER WOODS!
Played at a Republican golf course with a Republican teaching pro and Republican business owner and reported on by a Republican newspaper. What's not to like, other than maybe that the round is played by two of the world's best known Black Americans (or "HalfFricans" as Republicans call each of them in polite company.). How can one possibly worry about the future of the Republican Party?
I heard he's going running with Oscar Pistorius, then do some workouts with Jane Fonda too.
Republican sport, about your Halfrican crack, it was black folk who were wondering aloud if Hillary might not be the better choice since they weren't sure Barack was "black enough"....
you ppl are freakin relentless with your idiotic remarks.
Anonymous is Laurence Voss....and about every other liberal here too.
whoever tells them what to do, had them keep a low vacation profile last year, election year....the only year they ever did so.
Sooooo......expect them to hit the vacation circuit full steam ahead, again.
It's just what they do.....while they tell us to tighten our belts and stay away from Vegas,
Are all the veiled racist commenters unhappy because the top alpha males in golf and power are ........... excellent?
Libs' definition of racism = non communist
The commenters are unhappy because the president tells us NOT to take vacations to vegas, to tighten our belts, while he and the mrs act like there are no fiscal problems.
The commenters are unhappy because our economy is in big trouble, gas prices are high and going up again, food prices are going up, the job problem has not been solved, the middle east is in worse turmoil than 4 years ago, this country is more divided than ever...and most of us aren't "progressives". The media has lied about who obama is, and what his agenda is...and the people have believed it. If the truth was told, the moderates would not have voted for this far left wing Progressive....he calls himself a progressive, and let's face it, it's the term being used to not scare Americans, yes, repackaged under a new name...but progressive is the new word for communist.
Look it up.
Sorry, but if the communist party and the socialist party endorsed you for president, you are not getting my vote, and I bet that a big hunk of people who voted for obama would not have, if they only knew that they were in the same boat with these parties. Guess what, the liberal media cherry picks what they say about obama...duh.
Excellent? Really?
Who cares if Woods can swing a club....look at his private life.
Who cares if Obama can give a good speech with a teleprompter....look at this country going downhill.
still lack simple logic...not sure what that is about, still think it relates to lack of information due to chinese style liberal msm.
woods was trying to still woo his ex-wife, and proposed to her over the holidays. Then the tide suddenly changed and he is dating an alpine skiier, Lindsay Vonn. (not surprising, really)
He visited her in austria, then took her to antigua.
Elin, his ex, won a 110 million dollar divorce settlement from tiger, who was exposed for serial infidelity, and affairs with strippers and porn stars.
Word has it that his ex would have reconsidered reuniting, if he included a $350 million anti-cheating clause.
and thinks that Lindsay might be the woman.....interesting that one month he is trying to woo the ex, the next, thinking of marrying someone else, huh?
Excellent, as liberals say.
he is dating, looks a bit like his ex. Hmmm.
Scandanavian and very pretty.
Obama said that he dated a white woman once, but that he knew he could never be a part of her world.
Obama admitted making stuff up, in Dreams from my Father.....he said that he ( and we all know it was Bill Ayers) used "composite characters".
He used different girlfriends to make one character.
Not surprising, really.
struggled between his blackness and whiteness.
He dated white women, but realized that he needed to go black.
Isn't that racist? I think Obama comes across as very racist at times.
Tiger still likes white women....a lot.
doesn't hit me as racist, but Obama does. I have heard some old videos of him, talking to black ministers, using a southern black accent, trying to stir a racial pot. Obama has some deep issues with white people, even his own flesh and blood, and we know that from his book, in how he referenced his grandmother as a typical white woman.
Tiger had a lot more stable family life than Obama, with a married supportive couple raising him, a mother from Thailand and a black father.
It seems that obama and his white mother didn't really bond, and he had an absent black father, with whom he always wanted a relationship.
His white grandparents saved him from the destiny that most in his shoes, meet.
I don't get the feeling that obama is a big fan of whites for the most part.....not surprising, given his mentors, Frank Marshall Davis and Jeremiah Wright.
seems neither of them want to help their half-siblings by their fathers.
I hope that Tiger beat him like a bongo drum. It is said, from those who have worked with him, that he absolutely loathes losing.
Guess who is really jealous? The media.....yes, it is a lover's spat between obama and politico, because they didn't get to cover the golf weekend.
Now...they are calling OBAMA, their puppeteer. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
They are saying how he is all smooth and all, and just knows how to make them say what he wants them to.
Oh, this is just hilariously great.
President Obama, media puppet master.....Politico, 2/18/13.
They want to be puppeted by him. LOL
"President Obama is a master at limiting, shaping, and manipulating media coverage of himself and his White House."
FINALLY, the media is blaming obama for something....even if it is a lover's spat. LOL
"The way the president's availability has shrunk in the last 2 years is a disgrace"....said abs's Ann Compton....."the white house goes to extreme lengths to keep the press away."
"The balance of power used to be much more in favor of the mainstream press"....Mike McCurry, a Clinton press secretary...who claims that the wh gets away with stuff he would never have dreamed of doing.
uh oh, the bloom is off the rose
Millionaire best golf player in decades. Loves beautiful women.
Best successful President in decades, loved and respected by the whole world.

Good drawings!
I'd suggest putting more attention on edges- more straights. Go deep into ditalization- find more poligons on the same shapes.
Thank you very much Vitaliy for the useful criticism!

watch your value transitions between light and shadow masses on the most recent. There is a half-tone that could be used there.
Also, watch for overly sharp background shapes that can pull the eye away from the focus. One thing you can do is to rest your eyes on your image or what you see in the mirror, right on the most important area. i.e. rest your eyes on the area you want the viewer to rest their eyes on. When you do that, paint in the rest of the piece from observing what is happening in peripheral vision. This will allow you to pay better attention to the full range of soft and sharp edges happening from focal area outward, so to speak. Make sense?
Keep up the great work. These are headed on a good path. I definitely encourage you to keep doing this stuff.
Thanks Jason, I continue to train following the advice

great job with your light and structure. nice drawing skills there. my main comment is to take another pass at both of these with your full focus being on the subtle expression that is happening, especially in the eyes. make sure both iris are the same size (minus any perspective from a slight turn or the like). its like an animator...first you get the structure built in 3d and then you animate it...and this needs just a bit more animation to it...seek out the essence...feel.
One of the things to do when you use a mirror is to really make the expression and feel it as if you were feeling that emotion. When you hit that fleeting moment, feel in your face where the points of tension are. Put the details in those areas. Areas that are relaxed can get less detail in the study. This will read to the viewer and help you better project that emotion. For it to work you really have to feel it inside yourself...as if you were an actor. It's like drawing and making notes of something you feel internally rather than just what you see externally. It's one of the secret parts to this...capturing essence.
The goal is to push emotions more and capture essence as well as structure and form and proportion.... A little bit of form and structure hatchery in directions that roll across the form but in key areas where the face is feeling tension...and putting that information and thus contrast, ONLY in the areas of the face where muscles are stressed... will help communicate mood. Keep the areas which muscles are relaxed in the face with less detail. Make the expression yourself so you feel where the stress is...like really make and feel the expression. Put the details in the areas you feel stressed...like the furrowed brow when angry or the corners of the eyes on a **** eating grin...so to speak
You have to make the expression and draw from your feeling the muscles tense up to really capture it...that's part of the secret sauce.
Keep it up
Hope that is of help.
Jason thanks it very much helped me
watch your neckline on this one...underlying structure is key. Just noticed that when i was looking at it in photoshop.
On your most recent I would watch for too overly smooth contour edges...especially in the hair. Also the neckline once again seems to not conform to the structure.
great work though...just keep your underlying structure in mind as you work...from bone structure to muscle structure. I almost feel like the neckline of the shirts are too small to get your head into...just an observation. It's almost working as a stylistic matter.
Just thoughts.
Keep up the great work.
Jason thanks, I in my opinion understood.
How you think better?

Nice work on your edges in this one. The neck and shirt would benefit from a bit more observation I think. The neck details and anatomy should wrap around the form and the shirt can have less equal sized folds. Using the same brush for all the folds will lead to it seeming "made up". Look for variety in the folds.
Nice detail...curious if the likeness is on spot but overall the rendering is clean.
Keep focusing on capturing the mood. If all muscles of the face are tensed it can seem stiff...so look for areas that are relaxed when making that face too.

I feel like there are some opportunities to observe cast shadow off that hand.
I think you would be well served to stare into the eyes and make some adjustments to get them to be less....stiff in emotion. The mouth and the rest of the face has more life than the eyes and is well handled. The eyes themselves seem to be pointing slightly in two directions and the lids are feeling frozen open...and so some experimentation and close observation is needed there.
Lastly when staring into your eyes, you need to perhaps let some of the other edges fall into softness so that the eyes of the viewer come to rest on your eyes in the portrait more easily. Focus seems to be jumping around a little bit. (see sharp edge on back of ear on right side, or the light backlight value on the face for example)
I tried to deal with eyes
Try covering up or masking off all but one eye. ask yourself...what emotion is happening in that eye? what precise emotion is being projected? Am I being deliberate with the emotion (even if very very subtle)? Then do the same for the other. Keep in mind that sometimes one eye can project more emotion than the other or even a contrasting emotion. If you look at photography you can sometimes see that happening...and if you look in life as you are talking to people or watching actors act in film, you can see that too.
for example...the eye on the left here with Mr. Norton seems to be more inquisitive compared to the one on the right, which seems to say "I'm paying attention to you and see you". There is a slightly more serious note happening emotionally in the eye on the right. Do you see what I mean?
Look for that kind of thing when you do these and be deliberate about which emotions you are expressing as the audience will feel it. To do that you sometimes have to purposely do the expression but not observe with your eyes but feel with your nerves in your face..feel for sensations of tension or relaxation or open or closed qualities. You feel it first..then put that in there...then they will feel it.

Robert Nelson Cornelius Nix was born in Orangeburg, South Carolina, on August 9, 1905. His father, Nelson Nix, had been a slave who, upon gaining his freedom, had devoted himself to education; he earned a doctorate in mathematics and eventually became the dean of faculty at South Carolina State College in Orangeburg.
Feeling that his son would not receive an adequate education in Orangeburg, Nelson Nix and his wife Sylvia decided to send him to New York City for most of his education. In the early 1900s, schools in the South were segregated and the quality of education in the black schools was often poor. So Robert Nix traveled north and lived with relatives in New York, where he attended Townsend Harris High School.

Control the block page used for "Bad request" under Configuration Proxies > Advanced > Proxy Template Schema.
Control the via header for bad requests, Configuration > Proxies > Add via header, uncheck the box (right under the HTTP Proxy listeners).
2. Re: badrequest handling (MCP/MWG)btlyric Sep 3, 2013 12:17 PM (in response to Jon Scholten)
The proxy setting takes care of the Via header, but if I modify badrequest.html, internal clients will no longer get the page that they expect to see. Additionally, since a large chunk of info is in index.html (Acceptable Use Policy, etc.), we would have to reconfigure over 80 individual notification pages to include that info in each page rather than having a single location (index.html).
3. Re: badrequest handling (MCP/MWG)Jon Scholten Sep 3, 2013 2:16 PM (in response to btlyric)
I was implying you would use a NEW barebones template schema for the proxy related errors (as defined under Configuration > Proxies), and using the default (or your own) schema for the policy related items (i.e. user gets blocked for accessing content they shouldnt be -- under Policy > Settings > Actions).
Proxy errors would come about but probably dont require your acceptable use policy displayed.

That dog meaning my suggestion, or that dog meaning you?
If you cannot change the proxy template schema due to this then what you stated in your response is what is required (changing all the templates).

Our biggest fans from coast to coast have gotten
together to form our Ask A Mom panel. They are here
to answer all of your Great Wolf Lodge questions.
With our RSS feed, registered users can get the latest updates streamed to their favorite RSS reader automatically!
My name is Monica, and my husband, Geoffrey, and I have three beautiful children: Ian (12), Abigail (7), and Mary Claire (2). We have been married for 16 years and live in upstate South Carolina, where I am a fifth-grade teacher, and Geoffrey is self-employed in the rental business. We love to travel to different places, and that is what brought us to our first Great Wolf Lodge stay in Williamsburg, VA, almost three years ago! We stayed for three nights on our way to Washington, D.C., and loved it so much that we went back again the next year and stayed for a whole week! Needless to say, we were completely ecstatic when we learned that a Great Wolf Lodge was opening in Charlotte, NC, only a short hour from our hometown. Since it opened in April 2009, we have visited on numerous occasions (Ian's birthday, weekend getaways, and family fun with cousins), and each time our Great Wolf Lodge experience seems to get better and better! From the waterpark and MagiQuest to Scooops Kid Spa (Abigail's favorite) and the themed family suites—Great Wolf Lodge offers something extraordinary for everyone in your family!

Paul Ryan Will Return To Congress, Budget Committee Chairmanship
Rep. Paul Ryan, the Republican vice presidential nominee, says will go back to the House and pick up where he left off, after his loss.
"I am immensely proud of the campaign we ran, and I remain grateful to Gov. Romney for the honor of being his running mate," Ryan said in a statement obtained by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "I look forward to spending some time with my family in the coming days and then continuing my responsibilities as chairman of the House Budget Committee and representative of Wisconsin's First Congressional District."
While Ryan was running for vice president, he also ran to keep his seat. He won that race handily, with a margin exceeding 11 percent.

M&T Bank (NYSE:MTB) gained on Monday after announcing its plan to buy Wilmington Trust (NYSE:WL) in a bargain deal valued at $351 million, a whopping 46% discount.
Under the terms of the all-stock transaction, Wilmington shareholders will receive just over a half a share of M&T common stock in exchange for each of their Wilmington shares, representing a 46% discount on Friday's closing price of $74.75 a share.
The Wilmington, Del-based bank, a smaller US regional bank and wealth manager, tumbled more than 42% on the news.
The announcement followed Wilmington's report of a $365.3 million loss, or $4.06 a share, widened from a loss of $116.4 million, or $1.33 a share, in the same quarter last year, and far below the Street's view of a 43-cent loss.
The worse-than-expected decline in earnings, the company's sixth consecutive quarterly loss, was due primarily to continued deterioration in commercial credit quality, a reflection of the bank's exposure real estate construction lending.
'ÄúAs our third quarter earnings announcement shows, we continue to face difficult financial realities associated with the credit quality of the loan portfolio in our banking business,'ÄĚ Wilmington CEO Donald E. Foley said. 'ÄúAs a result, our board examined a range of strategic alternatives and has held discussions with several potential partners,'ÄĚ ultimately deciding on M&T as the 'Äúbest available option'ÄĚ for its shareholders.
M&T, which said the deal will be accretive to its earnings in 2012, believes its internal rate of return on the investment will exceed 20%.
'ÄúBy leveraging the combined strengths of both organizations, we are building an even more powerful franchise with strength and stability, scale and density and top-of-class products and services,'ÄĚ said M&T CEO Robert G. Wilmer.
The merger, which has been approved by the board of directors of both companies, remains subject to customary closing conditions and approval from Wilmington shareholders.
Once completed, Wilmington's Foley will be appointed to M&T's board of directors and its principal banking subsidiary, M&T Bank.

Linux Mint is a Linux distribution based on Debian and Ubuntu,[4] with an alternative Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) based purely on Debian. Mint provides full out-of-the-box multimedia support by including some proprietary software such as Adobe Flash.
At first new versions of the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint were released approximately every six months. The first release, named "Ada", was released in 2006. When the 17th version (named "Qiana". another long-term-support release) was released on May 31, 2014, Linux Mint developers decided that after that version all subsequent versions would use the source-code of the current Long-Term-Support release of Linux Mint until Ubuntu releases a new "Long-Term-Support release"; Basically, all "new version" releases would be based on Ubuntu's "Long-Term-Support" release, and all the "Point releases" (ie. the versions in between) would be based on the existing Long-Term-Support-release's source code. Version 17.2, code-named "Rafaela", was released on June 30, 2015.
In the past support for older releases ended shortly after the next version is released (with the exception of releases based on the source-code of Ubuntu's "Long-Term-Support" releases). After Linux Mint version 17 was released all future versions will be based on Long-Term-Support releases and will be supported for 5 years, while users can optionally upgrade to the next 17.x release if they so choose to do so.
Linux Mint started in 2006 with a beta release of version 1.0, codenamed "Ada",[5] based on Kubuntu. Following its release, version 2.0 "Barbara" was the first version to use Ubuntu as its codebase. Mint had few users from these early versions until the release of 3.0, "Cassandra."[6][7]
Version 2.0 was based on Ubuntu 6.10,[8] using its package repositories and using it as a codebase. From there, Linux Mint followed its own codebase, building each release from its previous one, but continued to use the package repositories from the latest Ubuntu release. This resulted in making the base between the two systems almost identical, guaranteeing full compatibility between the two distributions rather than having Mint become a fork.
In 2008, Linux Mint adopted the same release cycle as Ubuntu and dropped its minor version number before releasing version 5 "Elyssa". The same year, in an effort to increase the compatibility between the two systems, Linux Mint decided to abandon its code-base and changed the way it built its releases. Starting with version 6 "Felicia" each release was now completely based on the latest Ubuntu release, built directly from it, timed for approximately one month after the corresponding Ubuntu release (i.e. usually in May and November).
In 2010 Linux Mint released Linux Mint Debian Edition. Unlike the other Ubuntu-based editions, LMDE was originally a rolling release based directly on Debian and was not tied to Ubuntu packages or its release schedule.[7] It was announced on May 27 2015 that the Linux Mint team would no longer support the original rolling release version of LMDE after January 1 2016.[9] The new version of LMDE called LMDE 2 "Betsy" is a long term support release based on Debian Jessie.[10] When LMDE 2 was released it was announced that all LMDE users would be automatically upgraded to new versions of MintTools software and new Desktop Environments before they were released into the main edition of Linux Mint.[11]
There have been two Linux Mint releases per year, generally timed one month after Ubuntu releases. Each version of Linux Mint is given an integer version number and is codenamed with a feminine first name ending in "a" and beginning with a letter of the alphabet that increases with every iteration.[7] Since the mid-2008 v5 every fourth release has been labeled a long-term support (LTS) version, indicating that it is supported (with updates) for longer, three years for v5 and v9, and five years thereafter. Mint 17 was released on May 31st 2014[12] under a new release strategy. After the release of Mint 17 all future version were planned to use LTS version of Ubuntu as a base.[13] The 17.x releases are intended to be an easy optional upgrade.[14] Under this strategy Mint 17.1 was released on November 29 2014,[15] and Mint 17.2 was released on June 30th 2015.[16] Both versions included upgrades to the Cinnamon and MATE Desktop Environments and various Mint tools. In addition Mint 17.2 included an upgrade to the LibreOffice suite.[17]
Linux Mint does not communicate specific release dates, as new versions are published "when ready," meaning that they can be released early when the distribution is ahead of schedule or late when critical bugs are found.[18] New releases are announced, with much other material, on the Linux Mint blog.[19] The Cinnamon and MATE ISO images of v17 initially released had some problems,[20] and "v2 ISO respins", with "v2" in the filename, were released.
Linux Mint primarily uses free and open-source software, making exceptions for some proprietary software, such as plug-ins and codecs that provide Adobe Flash, MP3, and DVD playback.[21][22][23] Linux Mint's inclusion of proprietary software is unusual; many Linux distributions do not include proprietary software by default, as a common goal for Linux distributions is to adhere to the model of free and open-source software.
Linux Mint comes with a wide range of software installed that includes LibreOffice, Firefox, Thunderbird, XChat, Pidgin, Transmission, and GIMP. Additional software that is not installed by default can be downloaded using the package manager. Linux Mint allows networking ports to be closed using its firewall, with customized port selection available. The default Linux Mint desktop environments, MATE and Cinnamon, support many languages.[24][25] Linux Mint can also run many programs designed for Microsoft Windows (such as Microsoft Office), using the Wine Windows compatibility layer software for Linux, or virtualization software, including VMware Workstation and VirtualBox. As of version 16 there is an issue with multi-monitor support and Wine[citation needed].
Linux Mint is available with a number of desktop environments to choose from, including the default Cinnamon desktop, MATE, KDE, and Xfce. Other desktop environments can be installed via APT, Synaptic, or via the custom Mint Software Manager.
Linux Mint actively develops software for its operating system. Most of the development is done in Python and the source code is available on GitHub.[26]
Software developed by Linux Mint[edit]
- Cinnamon: A fork of GNOME Shell based on the innovations made in Mint Gnome Shell Extensions (MGSE). Released as an add-on for Linux Mint 12 and available as a default desktop environment since Linux Mint 13.[27]
- MintTools
- Software Manager (mintInstall): Runs .mint files, which are files containing instructions to install packages. From Linux Mint 6 this tool can download information on all the applications on the Mint Software Portal for offline viewing. Also enables installation of any of the programs listed directly from the desktop, instead of going to the site. The option to use the old mintInstall program is available; from the Ubuntu Repositories or the GetDeb.net website may be searched.
- Update Manager (mintUpdate): Designed to prevent inexperienced users from installing updates that are unnecessary or require a certain level of knowledge to configure properly. It assigns updates a safety level (from 1 to 5), based on the stability and necessity of the update. Updates can be set to notify users (as is normal), be listed but not notify, or be hidden by default. In addition to including updates specifically for the Linux Mint distribution, the development team tests all package-wide updates.
- Main Menu (mintMenu): A menu of options including filtering, installation and removal of software, system and places links, favorites, session management, editable items, custom places and many configuration options. Also ported to MATE in Linux Mint 12 (Lisa).[28]
- Backup tool (mintBackup): Enables the user to back up and restore data. Data can be backed up before a fresh install of a newer release, then restored.
- Upload Manager (mintUpload): Defines upload services for FTP, SFTP and SCP servers. Services are then available in the system tray and provide zones where they may be automatically uploaded to their corresponding destinations.
- Domain Blocker (mintNanny): A basic domain blocking parental control tool introduced with v6. Enables the user to manually add domains to be blocked system-wide.
- Desktop Settings: A tool for configuration of the desktop.
- Welcome screen (mintWelcome): Introduced in Linux Mint 7, an application that starts on the first login of any new account. It provides links to the Linux Mint website, user guide and community website.
- Mint Gnome Shell Extensions (MGSE): A desktop layer on top of GNOME 3 to make it feel like GNOME 2, still popular within the Linux community when GNOME 3 was introduced. Includes a bottom panel, an application menu, the window list, task-centric desktop (i.e. switches between windows, not applications) and system tray icons. This was included in Linux Mint in version 12 (Lisa).[29][30]
Linux Mint can be booted and run from a USB Flash drive on any PC capable of booting from a USB drive, with the option of saving settings to the flash drive. A USB creator program is available to install an Ubuntu (not LMDE) Live Linux Mint on a USB drive.
The Windows installer "Mint4Win" allows Linux Mint to be installed from within Microsoft Windows, much like the Wubi installer for Ubuntu. The operating system could then be removed, as with other Windows software, using the Windows Control Panel. This method requires no partitioning of the hard drive. It is only useful for Windows users, and is not meant for permanent installations because it incurs a slight performance loss. This installer was included on the Live DVD until Linux Mint 16, but removed in the Linux Mint 16 "Petra" release because the size of the Live DVD images would have exceeded what the software could reliably handle.
Installation supports a Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with automatic partitioning only, and disk encryption since Linux Mint 15. UTF-8, the default character encoding, supports a variety of non-Roman scripts.
Linux Mint has multiple editions that are based upon Ubuntu, with various desktop environments available. Linux Mint also has an edition based upon Debian. The table below shows the default environments, not those available.

Ubuntu-based editions[edit]
As of Linux Mint 13 there are two main editions of Linux Mint, developed by the core development team and using Ubuntu as a base. One includes Mint's own Cinnamon as the desktop environment while the other uses MATE. Linux Mint also develops editions that feature the KDE and Xfce desktop environments by default, but these have secondary priority and are generally released somewhat later than the two main editions.[31]
Older releases, now obsolete, included editions that featured GNOME, LXDE and Fluxbox desktop environments by default.
OEM version[edit]
The distribution provides an OEM version for manufacturers to use.[34][35]
No Codecs version[edit]
The distribution provides a "No Codecs" version for magazines, companies and distributors in the USA, Japan and countries where the legislation allows patents to apply to software and distribution of restricted technologies may require the acquisition of 3rd party licenses.[7][36][37] Multimedia codecs can be installed at any time via a link on the Mint Welcome Screen or a desktop launcher available for only No Codecs version.
Linux Mint Debian Edition[edit]
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) was originally based directly on Debian's Testing branch, rather than Ubuntu, but is designed to provide the same functionality and look and feel as the Ubuntu-based edition.[38] After the release of LMDE 2 on May 27 2015 LMDE became based on Debian Stable, but received automatic updates to the latest versions of MintTools and the latest version of the installed Desktop Environment before they were released into the Main edition of Linux Mint.[10][11] LMDE is available with the MATE and Cinnamon desktop environments.[38]
LMDE originally had a semi-rolling release development model. Debian Testing is a "real" rolling release that constantly receives updates; while older LMDE version periodically introduced "Update Packs" which are tested snapshots of Debian Testing.[38]
LMDE lists its advantages and disadvantages over the Ubuntu-based distribution:[39]
- Installing Update Packs keeps LMDE current, without the need to reinstall the system every six months as with Ubuntu-based distros. LMDE has its own package repositories. As of 7/7/15, LMDE 2 is the current version, and it tracks Debian Jessie (the stable version of Debian). As of May 17, 2015, it has an upgrade path from LMDE 1 to LMDE 2.[40]
- LMDE is faster and more responsive than Ubuntu-based editions.[41]
- LMDE requires a deeper knowledge and experience with Linux, dpkg and APT.
- Debian is less user-friendly and desktop-ready than Ubuntu, with some rough edges.
Individual users and companies using the operating system act as donors,[42] sponsors[43] and partners[44] of the distribution. Linux Mint relies on user feedback to make decisions and orient its development. The official blog often features discussions where users are asked to voice their opinion about the latest features or decisions implemented for upcoming releases. Ideas can be submitted, commented upon and rated by users via the Linux Mint Community Website.[45]
The community of Linux Mint users use Launchpad to participate in the translation of the operating system and in reporting bugs.[46]
Most extraneous development is done in Python and organized on-line on GitHub, making it easy for developers to provide patches, to implement additional features or even to fork Linux Mint sub-projects (for example the Linux Mint menu was ported to Fedora). With each release, features are added that are developed by the community. In Linux Mint 9 for instance, the ability to edit menu items is a feature that was contributed by a Linux Mint user.[47]
TechRadar has praised Linux Mint for focusing on desktop users.[48]
- DistroWatch provides information and statistics of Linux distributions. Since 2012, DistroWatch's Page Hit Ranking listed Linux Mint as the most viewed profile page there.[49][50][51][52] In December 2011, Wikimedia Traffic Analysis Report showed 29 million hits on Wikimedia pages from computers running Ubuntu and 642,000 hits from those running Linux Mint. ZDNet, Ars Technica and OStatic argued that these numbers, based on operating systems actually in use, represent the popularity of Ubuntu and Mint far more accurately than the DistroWatch rankings. [53][54][55][48][56][57] For June 2015, Wikimedia Traffic Analysis Report shows 6.4 million hits for Linux Mint while the highest-placed identifiable GNU/Linux distribution, Ubuntu, had 1.2 billion hits.[58]
- In a 2012 online poll at Lifehacker, Linux Mint was voted the second best Linux distribution, after Ubuntu, with almost 16% of the votes.[57]
- In Issue 162, Linux Format named Mint the best distro for 2012.[59]
- In Issue 128 (July 2013), Linux User and Developer gave Linux Mint 15 ("Olivia") a score of 5/5, stating "We haven't found a single problem with the distro… we're more than satisfied with the smooth, user-friendly experience that Linux Mint 15, and Cinnamon 1.8, provides for it to be our main distro for at least another 6 months."[60]
