War with Syria?
August 30, 2013
Terming use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war a "red line" that, if crossed, would result in decisive U.S. action was a mistake on President Barack Obama's part....
Where is the GOP leadership on this? Where are all these "Chicken Hawks" that wanted "action" in Syria? The U.S. Congress could take action on this? Where are they? On another recess! Out of town! On another vacation! Everyone is so busy running for the next election that no one is doing anything! This country is falling like Rome!

The "Obama crossed the line" threat sent a message that the world is watching and was definitely better than doing nothing. We have been watching this from the beginning and "kneejerk reaction" does not fit the circumstance. I favor doing nothing with weapons. It is cheap to badmouth the president when he is trying to do the right thing. He is not trying to lie us into war.

Worried American: I agree. They want to sit back and bash any decision that doesn't benefit them the same as they have done for the last five years If Syria was bigger in oil they would be earning that money in their lined pockets. Oil is bright red.

Well, ok, Veritas, now that I read the first post with the second post's interpretation, I suppose I can see you agreeing with DustOff. I guess.
And all of us, whether we like to think of it as such, are blabbing our viewpoints in some way every time we post here.
I'm reminded of an age-old question: why did you climb the mountain? Because it was there....

I agree with Rugby that the military is, as I have stated before, only there for my Democrat friends to join and make a 'career' of.....and to then collect a pension for doing a nonmilitary job...as my friend Rugby has. It is ONLY a 'jobs, jobs, jobs' program to keep unemployment at a low.....how dare Booosh.....or now Obama.....lead us into another illegal and immoral war.....after all, this is not the military of the old days....my friend should have NEVER been called to serve after he voluntarily joined and re-upped for the military. That was just wrong....

Whistler, whatever happened to you...you we gone all of a sudden....I'll grant that someone was not at peas with something you said and hoped for some change....
That said, I am SO busy growing peas near Hillsboro....peas we will send with our troops...to another Mid-East war....I had thought peasful days had come when Rugby, willies, verts, and I got our Obama elected.....now I just realize Booosh said if he had a son, that it would look just like Obama...

Obama did not say he wanted a war with Syria. Saying nothing about crossing a line with chemical weapons would be a sign of weakness. Compared to Bush/Cheney and Iraq; our president looks and acts like a good statesman. His opponents criticise him whether he moves left or right. It is Carl Rove's same plan used on Bill Clinton. Did not work on Bill--the most popular man in the world today. Rove is now called a failure by the very people that hired him.

Legend, you are right. Obama didn't have war on his mind when he went off-script with his red lie comment. He stepped in it, his advisors have said as much.

We've heard for years how thoroughly liberals have blamed former Pres. Bush for, well, everything that's happened in Pres. Obama's first term and now in this present one.
But if Pres. Obama decides to go into Syria, the consequences of that decision are all his, no matter the triple axels certain spinners would take to pin the responsibility elsewhere.
There is no Pres. Bush involved in this decision about war with Syria. At all. It's all Pres. Obama.

What do you mean Republicans don't stand for anything? They stand for war. Your sons and daughters get to fight and die like dogs, their sons and daughters like the Romney brothers, will stay home and be keyboard warriors.
If it is moral, ethical, justifiable and legal, it is game on. The drones will be set aside and cruise missiles will take over.
It is for oil and riches, like any war, even during the Civil War, control of oil was part of the fight.
Now go on out there and get your war on so Republicans can steal more billions.

Both sides are wrong to fight each other and two wrongs don't make a right. If and when they tire of killing each other the fighting will end. You know the old saying "you cannot teach an old dog new tricks".

Obuma is Wall Street's favorite president so far. What other president could do a better job of borrowing 12 trillion dollars and pay interest to Wall Street banksters to the tune of 400 billion dollars each year and the taxpayer is the bagholder, not Odumba?
The Obamabots will continue with their brownshirt agenda and support O until the very bitter end.
They haven't a clue, they are useful idiots and useless eaters.
Now, Obama gets to have a war that is off the charts, thanks to Wall Street. He is a puppet on a string. He had his chance to be a leader, not a ruler. Stupid is as stupid does.

Veratis, why would anyone continue to repeat posts without refuting them, --unless one does agree with them? Where are the comments supporting Obama?

You have to understand that this is very serious business right now and the air force base is only 12 miles north and the rest of the world is not going along with the program.
Not only does the US have a military, but it is not a huge jump of logic to know that the other side has weapons too and some are chemical and a direct attack on the US mainland might happen again and 9112013 redux is 10 days from now, and it seems as though the war is on, set to go, so it is a very scary situation, from my vantage.
No fighting in the war room.

Just watch a video of Glen Beck talking about who we are backing in Syria. Absolutely shocking. It shows the people US is sending money to killing a soldier, cutting him open and eating his liver and heart. Stay out of Syria, let them sort themselves out.

Even if Obama does send missiles to Syria, he will never get the blame. It will somehow fall back to someone else. It will be bad intell and this time the media will listen. Unlike the Iraq war. He has to make good on his campaign statement. He has followed very few of his campaign promises, wish he would ignore this one too.

It doesn't matter if the gas was used or not. But, you are right. Why should we accept the intelligence? The dems have said for years that there were no WMD as Bush had said. But, the dems here have not really come out in support of an attack. In fact they have been exceptionally quiet except for bashing the other posters.

There always seems to be a good bit of confusion as to the difference between 4×4's and four wheel drive cars (non 4×4). A look at the difference and what it means to the purchaser can help to clear up some of the concerns.
The four-wheel drive 4×4 Difference
Normally, the term 4×4 refers to a four-wheeled vehicle that has a special kind of drive train. This drive train allows each of the four wheels to receive rotating force (or torque) simultaneously from the vehicle's engine. This type of independent wheel function means that 4×4 vehicles have much better control on different kinds of road conditions, from pavement in inclement weather to off-road traveling.
Subaru WRX
On the other hand, a vehicle with "four-wheel drive" is not necessarily the same thing as a 4×4. Traditionally, the term "four-wheel drive" is used to refer to larger vehicles (usually passenger vehicles) that come with the option of allowing the driver to switch (either manually or automatically) between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive when conditions such as slipper roads, gravel or dirt roads are encountered.
On top of this you have the term "All wheel drive" which is what you get when a regular passenger vehicle has full-time four-wheel drive. All wheel drives are four-wheel drive vehicles that can be used on regular dry pavement without the risk of harming the vehicle's differentials. This is possible because all wheel drive vehicles use a different kind of center differential. This new kind of center differential means that each of the vehicle's axles can rotate independently and at different speeds.
The all-wheel drive systems have plenty of problems, however. Because of the nature of the axle rotation differential they may be looking at significant torque reduction when it comes a wheel loosing traction. In fact, they depend on very complex traction control systems to keep them from becoming immobilized.
A way around the all-wheel drive problem is to have part-time four-wheel drive systems. These are much less complex and considerably less expensive to install, meaning that the cost of the vehicle to the consumer will cost less as well.
The problem, of course, comes when trying to figure out which cars actually have four-wheel drive as compared to those that have all-wheel drive or those that are considered to be 4×4's. Some manufactures use the terms interchangeably and it can be a hard subject to sort out since there is no legal requirement for using different terms in different situations. If you have any concerns, however, as to which the car you are considering uses, you may want to ask your dealer for clarification.
Four Wheel Drive Cars
The choice of four wheel drive cars (non 4×4) can significantly reduce the cost of your new car purchase while still providing you with a measure of four-wheel drive protection, safety and dependability but without the dangers and concerns that you might have with a regular 4×4 cars.

San Joaquin kit fox wearing a tracking collar.
Photo: Curley Sweet, USFWS.
Or maybe I should say "Yes and no." The cat-sized San Joaquin kit fox is one of the most endangered animals in California. It's only about 20 inches long, and weighs only 5 pounds (source). Fewer than 7000 are left. And some of them live in Bakersfield, where they're causing problems for the Panama-Buena Vista Union School District.
Michael Brouse, the district's business manager, said nobody can recall "a student-kit fox encounter," but the animals can pose a problem. They leave copious droppings. They get tangled in soccer nets. And, to the chagrin of administrators, they love schools, with their wide-open campuses, brown-bag lunches, and strict adherence to environmental regulations. (source)Seems that they like it in town, because there aren't as many coyotes -- and many residents are setting out food for them.
"Bakersfield in the past hasn't necessarily been the most endangered-species-sympathetic area," Cypher said, "but many people enjoy having the foxes around."Occasionally, it seems that we humans are able to help out an endangered species without even trying (much).
For 10 years, Linda DeRose, a 71-year-old retired teacher, has watched foxes skitter around the portable classrooms at Stockdale Elementary School across from her house. "Everybody who sees them really likes them. They're really cute, they run real fast, they have big ears. It's amazing they're able to exist in such proximity to people."

Woodpeckers (Picidae)
Cream-colored Woodpecker (Celeus flavus) - HBW 7, p. 522
French: Pic jaune
German: Strohspecht
Spanish: Carpintero Amarillo
Taxonomy: Picus flavus P. L. S. Müller, 1776, Cayenne.
Races intergrade extensively, producing many intermediates, and in much of range many individuals impossible to assign to a particular race; geographical limits given are therefore somewhat arbitrary. Races peruvianus and tectricialis perhaps better merged with nominate. Birds from NE Amazonian Brazil named as race inornatus, but inseparable from nominate. Four subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- flavus (P. L. S. Müller, 1776) - E Colombia, SW & NE Venezuela and the Guianas S to E Ecuador, W Brazil (S to Mato Grosso) and N Bolivia (Beni).
- peruvianus (Cory, 1919) - E Peru.
- tectricialis (Hellmayr, 1922) - Maranhão (NE Brazil).
- subflavus P. L. Sclater & Salvin, 1877 - E Brazil in Alagoas and S on coast from Bahia to Espírito Santo.

From The Dugout: USA Begins Championships With A Win
July 30, 2010
There are just a few more weeks of action before summer leagues across the country come to a close, but here are a few links to what the Oregon Ducks are currently up to.
George Horton
Kendall Rogers from Rivals.com applauded Oregon head coach George Horton for a spectacular job during the 2010 season in this article: Ten Special Coaches Make Their Marks
Team USA
Scott McGough and Tyler Anderson began play in the FISU World University Baseball Championships today with a 15-0 win over Sri Lanka that took just five innings. The Collegiate National Team is 12-2 this summer, and will be back on the diamond Sunday, when Team USA takes on Chinese Taipei inside Meiji Jingu Stadium (Tokyo, Japan) at 5 a.m. (EST).
Below are some links to articles and photos from Scott's and Tyler's time with the Collegiate National Team. Before heading to Tokyo for the FISU Championships, the Collegiate National team defeated Japan, 4-1, on July 21. It was one of the last games to be be played at historic Rosenblatt Stadium, and Oregon head coach George Horton served as an honorary coach for the night.

Some General Questions
View Single Post
Go4Expert Member
Ans to Q1.
Table T1 should have all the columns that were mentioned in the embedded query, because that will always fail if you are trying to retrieve a column by name which doesn't exist. As per your question SELECT * will do, but then again the same needs an application software patch, which according to you should be avoided first hand.
Ans to Q2.
Outer join selects all records as per the criteria from table A and looks for a parellal record in table B. If table B doesn't hold that record (as per the joining condition), blanks are returned from table B.
In simple terms all records from table A will be fetched in the query though the same might not be present in table B

Some more pics of Verizon's Motorola Droid X2 leak, it still looks exactly like its predecessor
The Motorola Droid X2 for Verizon just keeps on leaking, and Verizon just keeps postponing an official acknowledgement of this smartphone. It all started with some blurry pics in February. Then we saw some non-blurry images a month later, and finally got some of the device's specs from a benchmark yesterday.
What that confirmed was that the Droid X2 will sport an Nvidia Tegra 2 dual-core 1 GHz processor, and a qHD (960×540) display resolution. And those certainly seem to be the only things that the X2 brings new in comparison with its predecessor, the original Droid X (unless Moto decides to tinker with the RAM as well).
Clearly, even if there are more differences between these two devices, they're on the inside, since the exterior of the Droid X2 looks strikingly similar to that of the Droid X, as you can undoubtedly see from the images above. In fact, it's pretty hard to tell a Droid X and a Droid X2 apart, it would seem.
Anyway, sadly the Droid X2 is still running Android 2.2 like it was in earlier photos, which may of course mean that that's the version of Android it will ship with. Let's hope Moto does some last-minute upgrading and releases the Droid X2 with a software version launched this year.

I think the lack of magnetic layer surrounding Mars is part of the problem. A wind made of charged particles very gently blows away atoms of water in the atmosphere (and also the atmosphere it's self). Gravity is an incredibly weak force and over a massive period of time the charged particle wind has slowly removed the water and most of the atmosphere. It doesn't happen to Earth because magnetic shells deflect the charged particle wind around the Earth.

You got to give them a degree of respect. I mean, using arial photography to mount cunning raids on commodities you wish to annex for your personal benefit? Sounds more like the actions of team america world police , rather than "Yob culture".
seriously your doing the festival equivalent of Monty Python's Four Yorkshiremen. "When I went to Glastonbury we partied for 3 hours before we got up..."
The super fence was the best thing they did for the festival, crime is practically non existent now in Glastonbury. I'm guessing you're slamming the acts because your tastes are a bit dated, that is fine, most people's tastes get dated as they age.
Glastonbury commercialised? Welcome to the f*cking current era, where people get brand names as tattoos and wars are sponsored by Haliburton.
The comments on the NY Daily news article are awesome, even better then the BBC HYS!

So how long before the Daily Mail read the "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" (ISBN 0006640613) and consider it an accurate depiction on how immigrants will threaten national food stocks. Reporting on inaccuracies in the Daily Mail is akin to reporting on water content in the Atlantic Ocean.

Let's take you inside the numbers for the final time this season. (Note: There will be no Numbers article previewing the Big Ten Championship that takes place Mar 20-22.)
130: Minnesota owns a 130-117-4 all-time record against Michigan, but Minnesota is actually 1-2-0 in the last three played in Ann Arbor.
15: Dating back to October 21, Minnesota has been a consensus #1 rated team in college hockey over fifteen weeks. Consensus means that the Gophers were rated #1 in both the USCHO and USA Today polls.
3: Minnesota has been the consensus #2 rated team three times this year over three consecutive weeks from Feb 10's polls through the polls of Mar 3.
29: Michigan's JT Compher leads the Wolverines in points with twenty-nine, and also leads the Wolverines with eighteen assists. Minnesota's Kyle Rau leads the Gophers with thirty-two points and twenty-two assists.
7: Seven is a lucky number for Michigan's Phil Di Giuseppe. In nine games this season when he has scored, Michigan is 7-2-0.
2: During the series between the Gophers and Wolverines in Minneapolis back in February, Michigan went a combined 2-6 on the power play. Minnesota was 2-12.
20: Entering this weekend, Minnesota has scored three or more goals twenty-two times this season. Their record when three goals go up? 20-0-2.

Yale Holds Serve At Home Against Volleyball; Tigers Will Take On Brown Next
Round 1 went to the home team. Princeton's job now is to make sure that Round 2 means something.
Despite grabbing the opening set, the Princeton women's volleyball team dropped its first Ivy League match of the season 3-1 Friday night at Yale. The reigning Ivy League champion, Yale moved to 6-0 in the league and assumes a one-match lead over Princeton with eight matches to go.
The loss was Princeton's first in league play, though the Tigers have now played four of their six matches on the road. The Tigers will make that five when they take on Brown Saturday at 4; following that match, Princeton will play five of their final seven Ivy matches inside Dillon Gym.
Princeton took the opening set 25-22, but the key moment of the match happened late in the second set. A kill by Lydia Rudnick and an ace by Chelsea Parker opened a 21-19 lead in the second and opened the door for Princeton to take a 2-0 lead. Instead, Yale ran off six of the final seven points to grab a 25-22 win.
After the 10-minute intermission, Yale came out on fire in the third to grab a 17-9 lead. It held off a Princeton rally in the third for a 25-19 win, and it won a hard-fought fourth set 25-22.
Rudnick, whose younger sister Maddie is the Yale libero, led all players with 20 kills, while freshman Kendall Peterkin added 11 kills. Both players added 13 digs, while freshman libero Sarah Daschbach led Princeton with 25 digs.
Sophomore Ginny Willis led Princeton with 42 assists, while classmate Tiana Woolridge had six kills and three blocks. Fellow middle Leah Jordan added five kills while hitting .714, while sophomore Sarah Hanna added three kills.
The two teams will meet again during Princeton's home finale on Sat., Nov. 5, at 5 pm.

Sophomore Emily Penttila carded a team-low 2-over 72 during the first round of the NCAA Championships.
May 20, 2014

First Round Highlights | First Round Results
Tulsa, Oklahoma- The Tulane women's golf team combined for a 23-over 303 total in windy conditions today during the opening round of the 2014 NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championships and sits in a tie for 13th place at the Tulsa Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Tulane will once again join golfers from Arizona and Texas A&M for Wednesday's second round, and the groups will start from the first tee, beginning at 11:50 a.m. (CST).
Live results from the entire championship, as well as live video streaming from holes 16, 17 and 18 for the final two rounds, can be found online at www.ncaa.com. Fans can also check the official website of Tulane Athletics: www.TulaneGreenWave.com for daily recaps, video and photos from each round, or follow the team on Twitter: @GreenWaveWGolf.
Today, the entire field was forced to alter their game plans in the face of a 20 mile per hour winds with gusts up to 30 mph. The par-70, 6,194-yard course saw its share of high scores on the day. However, the conditions did not detour the Tulane sophomore duo of Emily Penttila and Silvia Garces.
Penttila shot a team-low 2-over 70 and is tied for 13th place, while Garces fired a 3-over 73 and is currently sitting in a tie for 22nd place.
Sophomore Madison Opfer carded an 8-over 78 and is tied for 79th place, while junior Gemma Dryburgh found the back nine rough going with an 10-over 80 and is tied for 102nd while freshman Belen Goicoechea went to the clubhouse with an 11-over 81 on the day and tied for 111th place.
"The wind was blowing when we teed off at 7:30 a.m. and was strong the entire day. I thought we might have a little bit of an advantage early on but that was not the case. We did, however, have two very strong rounds from Emily and Silvia. They both battled throughout the round and made good decisions and really limited their mistakes to bogeys, which was important in these types of conditions. The other three did not do as well, but we have talked over today's round and I think we are all looking forward to Wednesday's second round."
"It's the national championship and we have four rounds to determine the national champion so we have three more days to move up. We are actually not in a bad position. We finished tied for fourth among the morning groups. We had some high scores we had to count today, but I am confident we can play better," Don added.
Oklahoma took the top spot in the team standings with a three-stroke lead over second place UCLA, while Duke, USC and Arizona State are each tied for third place to round out the top five squads.
Individually, USC's Doris Chen, Denver's Tonje Daffinrud and Stanford's Lauren Kim are tied for first place on the leaderboard, each at 3-under.

Rebiew On Chi Wet To DryI was super excited to find out my sister had this iron as I had just been eyeballing the babyliss one on amazon but wanted to actually try one first. I have normal hair with a bit of a wave. I do have a regular one inch CHI which I love but it's older and doesn't get as hot as the newer ones. I washed and conditioned my hair then dried throats a bit so it was damp but not dry. The iron did dry the hair but took several passes. It is very light weight and glides smoothly much like any other chi but I did end up with puffy frizzy hair even though I did put on heat protectant and Moroccan oil. I will be giving this back to my sister as it did not leave hair glossy but was dry and frizzy. I had to smooth it down with my normal old CHI. I wonder though if the babyliss is better as it does say it gets hotter. Not sure yet if I am going to buy one of these or if they generally all the same.Jul 24, 2012Cindy / FloridaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Oily Hair / Color Treated Hair

AverageWet to dry works, but it made my hair dry and strawlike (I used it on damp, almost dry hair). I never used wet to dry again, so already my money was wasted.
Straightening my hair normally it works as good as any CHI. This iron broke after only 2 years though.
Wet to dry sounded awesome - but in my opinion, it is too good to be true. Stick with a regular straightener.Jul 11, 2012Lauren / NJHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Flat Iron EverI have medium length very curly hair. It is fine but there is a lot of it and I have not found anything that works really well to tame it... until I bought the Chi Wet to Dry flat iron. I used to dry and style my hair using a brush for 15 + minutes and it would still not be totally straight. I would have to use a flat iron when it was dry to fully straighten my hair so it took me over 20 minutes to get my hair completely straight.
Before using the Wet to Dry iron I dried my hair until it was damp. I didn't style it at all with the dryer... just bent over and dried my hair until it was damp but totally curly which took about 5 minutes. I then used the Chi Wet to Dry flat iron and in about 5 minutes it was perfectly straight and very silky... cutting my hair prep time in half. I live in Florida and the humidity would always turn my nicely straightened hair curly/frizzy in a matter of minutes. After using the Wet to Dry my hair stays straight for a very long time and doesn't frizz... when it is super hot and humid some of my hair gets a little wavy. To me the Chi Wet to Dry is significantly better for straightening my hair than any product I have ever used.
It works as well dry as it does wet. I section my hair and straighten a portion at a time which speeds up the process and separates the damp hair from the dry straightened hair. I think it is the best flat iron ever.

Damp? To Dry. HardlyI have thick, coarse and very curly hair. I read other reviews and couldn't wait to try this product. I tested it by sectioning my hair and using a blow dryer to create different levels of dampness depending on the section. The only section that actually became straight was the one that was basicly dry already. About 5 more minutes with the blow dryer would've achieved the same results. Plus this flat iron has ridges on either side, called "channels" in the product description to supposedly keep the steam from burning your head. While I was apparantly saved from unfortunate steam incidents, these "channels" are rather deep and served to crimp the hair closest to the scalp. This resulted in hair sticking in very strange directions almost like a "cowlick". The actually damp hair did become dry after about two passes with the flat iron but they were poufy, frizz filled and far from straight. I ended up having to use my other flat iron anyway so it didn't really save time.Dec 27, 2010MelodyHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair

Most Amazing Thing I've Ever Used.When i first heard of the chi damp to dry straightner i thought it was just a stupid excuse to make the cost even higher then it already was. But then my mom bought it for my christmast present and i just had to open it early, i had a previouse straightner. It was with premier. It worked nicely for the first couple of months. But now it just makes my hair frizz instead of straight. I turned the Chi on and waited for it to turn on. which didnt take that long actully, i took one clump of hair i damped it ran it trough my hair.And im just blown away. It might it so nice and dry, smooth and straight. I decided to do the rest of my hair which only really took 13 mins when it usally took 45 with my other one. And i have short hair so it shouldent take that long. My hair has been soo smooth and shiny im just in love. I definaltly recommend this product to anyone who wants amazing hair. The price may be a little high, but at least you wont need to buy more then one cause this will last u for a awhile!Dec 23, 2010Sabba S. / CanadaHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Curly Hair

If you thought NVIDIA's naming scheme for its desktop range of GPUs is confusing enough, wait till you see what they're calling their latest lineup of GPUs for notebooks.
In order from lowest to highest-end, we have the GeForce 9700M GT, 9700M GTS, 9800M GTS, 9800M GT and 9800M GTX. The real oddity, however, is where the 9800M GT sits above the GTS. NVIDIA really do seem to enjoy confusing people...
You can get more details on the new lineup at Tech Report.
At the top end of the new mobile GPU line, the GeForce 9800M GTX seems to have most in common with the desktop GeForce 8800 GT: both have 112 stream processors and 256-bit memory interfaces, while the 8800 GT has slightly higher memory bandwidth (57.6GB/s) and a 504 gigaFLOPS floating-point arithmetic rating. The 9800M GTS corresponds to the desktop GeForce 9600 GT in much the same way, with the same stream processor count and memory interface width, but lower memory bandwidth (51GB/s instead of 57.6GB/s) and a lower gigaFLOPS rating (240 instead of 312).

heres what I think....
I haven't play jk2 for some time now. But these changes have to be made fast to save the jk2 community.
1) release the SP sorce code.
2)more mp options....like King Of the Hill, tag with explosive, the invisible jedi master(played buy 1 being the Jedi master armed only with a saber. At all times the jedi master is not visible, even with full seeing on. The only time the jedi is visable is when he attacks or uses force powers. this could be cool!!!.
3)Harder to perform death blows. I haven't played for some time but the back slash, back stab and death from above were a real problem and darn to easy to perform. However I think that death moves should be performable when another players life is nearly gone. That way only players with skill can use them and you get a cool movie like endding to a duel between jedis.
4)Damage for a saber or weapon should be random according to where it hits.
I have herd we will have to rely alot on the moding communeity alot for this game but shouldn't we get as consumers what we want from a product...
I am 1 guy and I bet that 1 of you out there have some diffrent views wich is fine and more power to you. I just don't like when a Company gives up on the product...when it could be even grater.
I'm afraid I consider most of your ideas to be fatally flawed, Corthan.
SP source code? What? Why? Where? :confused:
More game modes are always good, but "Invisible Jedi Master?" :eek:
There are no "death blows" anymore, really. By patch 1.04, Backstab and DFA were fixed properly. All that will win a duel now, is skill.
Random damage? where's the skill in that? That'd just make duels random and pointless. A duel is supposed to be a test of one's skill against the skill of an opponent, not "Hooray, I accidentally hit you in the head! I R LEEET!!!11"
As for Raven, they gave JO their very best shot. It's not their fault they were swayed by the masters of the Dark Side. (Fanboys.)
Also don't whine about his random damage idea when you opnely praise random blocking.
Sounds like u might need to have played a few rounds before u posted.
Right now the 1.04 patch has pretty much nerfed the damage of the game. Just last night while on a pub server I hit someone 5 , yes 5, times in red, two should have been unblockable but were, and finally with that last hit they died.
Random blocking sucks. Being able to block from behind while your saber faces front is just plain moronic. But so is random damage. Skill should always play a part in the game. You know that a certain hit or combo will kill and you can use this to your advantage.
But with some modifications in Jedimod that some servers run, like myself...Crazy Yoda (jmod v1.2), you can return alot of what was good with JK2 while still leaving out the bad, ex: spinning backstabs.
I have upped the damage to 2.5x if u connect over regular JK2, this is closer to the 1.02 standards. Also thru Jedimod I have made auto blocking far less freequent. With a value of 1.75 I have found that if your hands are firmly on the hilt of your saber and you are in a defensive position you can block very well. But if your in the middle of a swing and someone hits you from the rear or the side then you take lots of damage or simply get cut in half.
With these changes it takes skill to play. No longer does the "special" move rule the day. Come and try it out if you like, I think it may be some of what your looking for.
But if your really rabid for high damage accurate combat you can also try out Promod.
Yes base jk2 is flawed but still a good game platform for the modders in this community to use to create some fantasic gameplay.
One word.....promod.
Re: heres what I think....
The community doesn't need saving.
I R BIG MAN IN EURO JO PLAY0RZ COMMOONITEE!!!111 Not to put too fine a point on it.
Now I'd lecture you on exactly how to do this, but I doubt you'd bother to practice it enough to use it anyway.
Now disregarding that, and focussing on your eternal whining: everyone gets killed occasionally, myself included of course. And you. And everyone on this board who has ever played. But the plain fact of the matter is: Default JO is a game of skill. (Somewhat dependant on ping, like all online games.) If you lose more than you want to lose, Fatalstrike, then practice more. Or get a better connection, either will do. I long ago figured out that the only things you can legitimately blame your losses on are:
1. Ping.
2. Yourself.
Blaming your shortcomings on the game itself is not one of the more convincing excuses, in my book. :)
Or is it just that anyone who doesn't join in your fanatical anti-auto-blocking chant because they can time their shots to hit during the opponent's swing is "praising random blocking?" You tell me.
I at any rate thoroughly enjoyed the duelling in 1.02. I thoroughly enjoy the duelling in 1.04. I didn't enjoy the duelling in 1.03, even though I was acceptably good at it. This was because it was imbalanced. Backswing was easy to accomplish, and was an instant kill. Everyone was doing it... But I didn't lose more matches than I lost while playing 1.02. I won and lost exactly the same proportion. I lobbied for 1.04's changes (and many more) to be brought about as vocally as I possibly could though, because I saw that the game was imbalanced. People were doing nothing but this one move. I did not buy Jedi Outcast to play a game of "Pong" with my opponents. That is why 1.03 was bad, that is why 1.02 was good, and that is why 1.04 is also good. Q.E.D.
I am sick of these constant 1.03 complaints :rolleyes: I hate 1.03 I've said this again and again.
You may not have said those exact words but the fact that you never stated your position as nuetral but you did attack my views for being against it, that in logical terms is the same as supporting it.
No I am not hunting down quotes, I don't answer to you, and frankly don't care if you would like evidence of your previous arguments. You know that you defended it, I know you defended it, and thats enough for me. You can take a trip down memory lane without me :cool:
sp source code being released... never gonna happen.
As for your logic....:disaprove
I see, you've degenerated to the level of:
"U NEED DRUGS COZ U SI INSAn3 D00d!!!111"
If this were a contest, and I were less mature, I would summarily declare myself the winner of this exchange. ;)
Ok ok, the firemen are here... I declare this flame war officially put out.

After storm clouds lift, Sierra-at-Tahoe is an excellent choice for powder runs. Boulders, ledges and felled trees provide fun obstacles; north-facing slopes stay colder because they get less sun; fresh snow collects under the mossy-sided red firs and is known to stay soft for days.
"Tree skiing is memorable here because you're skiing through perfectly spaced stands of giant old-growth red fir trees – half the size of redwoods. This effect was achieved by man, but before Sierra-at-Tahoe's time: Loggers one hundred years ago came in and clear-cut all the oak trees and spruce trees, leaving the red fir because it made bad lumber." - a tidbit from Snow California: Delicious Destinations, Secret Hideaways, Expert Sources, a guidebook by Lena Katz.
Sierra-at-Tahoe, in South Lake Tahoe, is a 7.5 hour drive from L.A. Or fly from Los Angeles to either Sacramento or Reno, Nev. – both cities are a 1.5 hour drive away.

Ricky Fried, Georgetown University Head Women's Lacrosse Coach, provides you with a drill that emphasizes defensive footwork. This drill can also serve as a conditioning drill for your team.
Drill Summary: The athletes form three lines. The first player in each line faces the coach and begins to backpedal in a defensive stance. As the coach points right or left, the players shuffle in that direction. On the whistle, all three players turn and sprint to the opposite sideline.

Ricky Fried, Georgetown University Head Women's Lacrosse Coach & US Women's National Team Head Coach, has his players working on approaching and defending the opposing ball-carrier. Players organize themselves in a triangle with two offensive players at the base and a defender at the point. When the offensive players exchange the ball, the defender approaches the ball carrier and breaks down in their defensive position. The offensive player then carries the ball ten yards while the defender continues to defend them. Coach Fried focuses on approach, body position, and effective stick checks that can be employed in this defensive situation.

Ricky Fried, Georgetown University Head Women's Lacrosse Coach, has Assistant Coach Lauren Moten walk the attack unit through a shooting drill. Coach Moten focuses on keeping sticks up and open toward the goal and using the wrists to throw fakes.
Athlete Movement: This drill is run with two lines simultaneously to maximize reps. One line starts from up top while a second line attacks from behind the goal.

In this segment, U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach & Georgetown University Head Women's Lacrosse Coach, Ricky Fried, focuses on the importance of quick ball movement in a simple but effective "Speed Passing Drill." Players work through the drill in pairs as they pass the ball quickly back and forth to each other. For coaches at any level, this drill is a good way to evaluate your players' mechanics and provide instant feedback.
Drill Setup: Players work in pairs and position themselves approximately 15 yards apart from each other. Coach Fried sets a one-minute clock for this drill.
Athlete Movements: Players work on quickly passing the ball back and forth to each other.

Follow along with Georgetown head women's lacrosse coach Ricky Fried as he breaks down a highly effective 4 v 3 offensive drill. This particular "small" drill places an emphasis on good decision-making, getting solid movement around the goal, and improving fundamentals in compact scenarios. Coach Fried reviews the drill using whiteboard diagrams before moving out to the field for live simulations.
Get four attackers going up against three defenders. The offensive players will start in a box formation, with two players up top and two players down low near the crease.
As the player with the ball is getting ready to pass across, the low players should look to slide down and curl up. The ballside low player will make a C-cut or curl. Don't go straight forward. The curl ensures you won't cut right into the defender. Meanwhile, the offball diagonal player should stay tight to the crease. Move on a string together.
Next, hit the other up top player with a pass. As the pass comes across the top, attack the goal. Attack in a shuffling manor, not by squaring up. Shuffle towards the goal and read the defender. If no one comes at you, take the shot. If you can't shoot, look to hit the diagonal. It's all about reading the defense and making quick decisions.
Look to constantly stay in a box. This gives you an idea of the shape and spacing you want to maintain. Meanwhile, work on slides in and out as opposed to turning and running in straight lines.
Tips: Get movement down low. Don't be stationary. Also, make quick, decisive, and direct passes, not lofty ones. Soft passes make the defense recover faster.
The big key to this drill is movement. While the low attacker curls up, the diagonal attacker sets up down near the GLE. As that top cross pass is being made, the low people are on a string. The low person slides down and the other one comes up. The group starts by passing and looking. Get the feel for the motion.
Every time you get the ball, think about shooting. Be willing to take that shot if the defense holds. Defensively, stay compact and rotate opposite.

Is it possible to work out the first and third trials of wits (part of the Temple of Trials - see background for details) without resorting to trial-and-error, or the other method?
Hover for "other method":
The other method is asking the Monitor Bird for a hint
Especially for the third trial, where there are a number of symbols with lines joining them up... I spent a long time looking in my wizarding companion at the various signs available to each familiar. I even got to the point of drawing matrices of possible symbols and then working through the permutations that each familiar had signs for...
After nearly two hours of struggling, I eventually gave up and resorted to the other method, after which I was able to solve the puzzle in under a minute. But the solution seems completely random!
Is it possible to work this puzzle out? Is there a viable explanation for the solution, or is the other method actually the only method?
Hover for details on location of this puzzle in the game:
The Temple of Trials is situated North East of Summerlands South and you go there after freeing Rashaad's daughter, Esther, from brokenheartedness.
There are three trials, of which one is the Trial of Wits.
The trial of wits is made up of three rooms. The second room is easy:
Hover for second room solution:
The second room is simply a picture puzzle - move the blocks to the appropriate place on the underlying picture so it doesn't look like there are any blocks at all.
The first room has a maximum of 24 possible unique combinations, so it can be worked out through brute force if necessary. However, as this is a trial of wits, I assume there must be a way to work out the puzzle without resorting to trial-and-error?
The third room has a maximum of 5,040 possible unique combinations and cannot therefore be worked out through a brute force method in reasonable time.

- During sessions, technicians apply radiofrequency to target areas in order to improve skin tightness, smoothness, and elasticity.
- For $113 you get one RF Skin Tightening treatment, a $250 value at Skinologie located inside Broussard Family Practice
One of our most popular treatments, Radio Frequency Skin Tightening, also known as Thermage and the non-surgical face lift, is an effective and FDA approved way of firming up sagging skin anywhere on the body. It is the only non-invasive procedure that helps tighten and contour your skin in a single treatment—with no surgery, no injections, and little to no downtime. Instead, RF skin tightening stimulates your body's natural renewal of collagen, which creates subtle, natural looking results on and off the face, like tighter, smoother skin, softened wrinkles and lines and an overall younger looking appearance. During the procedure, a wand generating radiofrequency energy is slowly passed over the treatment area. The rf waves stimulate collagen growth by essentially tricking the body into thinking it has suffered an injury and therefore needs to regrow collagen to restore the skin's structure.The system targets all three layers of skin with the goal of keeping the skin rejuvenated and strong for years. Patients generally feel no pain during the treatment and should see results immediately, with continued improvement days afterwards. While the results of a single treatment can last a month, a series of 5 treatments is recommended and will last 2-5 years.
Skinologie at Broussard Family Practice
Skinologie prides itself in providing a friendly, comfortable and welcoming environment. When calling to make an appointment, you can ask for one specific treatment or for a consultation where our staff can examine your skin and recommend the best course of action. You'll never be pressured into getting or purchasing a treatment you aren't comfortable with. In addition to being a medical skincare facility, Skinologie is part of Broussard Family Practice. All skincare providers here are medically trained. As a full-service medical clinic, we can diagnose and treat most skin or health problems. Whether it requires removing a mole or skin tag, a check-up or just a prescription, we would love to have you as part of the Broussard and Skinologie family.

Hello everyone! I'm new to Baby Center. My husband and I have been TTC for 6 months. Unfortunately, we suffered a M/C in early October. We started using OPKs in addition to charting shortly after. Since then, I've usually had 1 or 2 days of pos OPKs each cycle. But this month, I had 6 days of pos OPKs! I don't know why. FF says that I Oed on CD14, but I wonder if it could have been a delayed O on CD18--I seem to have had another slight shift on that date, and it's the same (.27) shift as on CD14.
I'm expecting AF on Dec 31/Jan 1, but I wonder if I should really be expecting it later. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks!
